Development in Mongolia's Bogd Khan Strictly Protected Area should be halted immediately.
The Bogd Khan Strictly Protected Area (SPA) is one of the world's oldest protected parks. It is situated south of the city of Ulaanbaatar, and encompasses the forested Bogd Khan mountain. As early as the founding of Ulaanbaatar as a permanent settlement, the Bogd Khan area was designated as sacred and protected accordingly. Activities such as forestry and hunting have been forbidden for centuries. Today, the Bogd Khan SPA retains its spiritual significance while also acting as a recreational outlet for outdoors enthusiasts, as the nearest woodland to Ulaanbaatar.
However, the Bogd Khan SPA has been under nearly-continuous threat since the rise of Mongolian capitalism in 1990. In the early 2000s, the government floated plans to build a major highway through the region in order to service a proposed new airport. 2009 saw the opening of a ski resort built on the slopes of the Bogd Khan mountain. The Zaisan valley has been developed into a high-rent region of gated communities. In the summer of 2010, the government withdrew building licenses for dozens of projects in the valleys of the Bogd Khan SPA -- particularly near Zaisan -- that had not yet started.
- Proposition CaseThe Value of the Bogd Khan SPAThe Strength of IndustryAll the No points
Development in Mongolia's Bogd Khan Strictly Protected Area should be halted immediately.Yes because... No because...
Proposition Case
This government proposes to immediately halt all development within the traditional boundaries of the Bogd Khan SPA.
Developments that are complete, or nearly so, will be seized by the national government through a process of eminent domain and returned to the developer after land purchase agreements and environmental impact studies have been completed. Developments that have yet to begin, or developments that are not nearly complete (for example, those with incomplete superstructure) shall be demolished and the land on which they were built will be returned to its earlier condition at the expense of the developer. Following this process, which shall take no longer than two years -- and during which no future developments anywhere near the park might begin -- the park boundaries will be re-surveyed and carefully delineated with a series of posts to ensure that in the future there is no question about where developers might build.
The proposition's case rests on the following points:
1. The Bogd Khan SPA is worth protecting from progressive infringement.
2. The strength of private industry in Mongolia compels the government to act swiftly and significantly.
3. Other forms of devastation -- including illegal woodcutting, ecosystem destruction, and the impact of climate change -- can only be dealt with after the threat of development is removed.
Development in Mongolia's Bogd Khan Strictly Protected Area should be halted immediately.Yes because... No because...
The Value of the Bogd Khan SPA
As indicated in the introduction, the Bogd Khan SPA has a tremendous historic, spiritual, and recreational value. It is the nearest rural area to the downtown of Ulaanbaatar, and thus has great future potential as a hallmark of the city. The fact that it is accessible by public bus makes it accessible to the average person.
In the past two decades, Ulaanbaatar has seen its urban parkland decrease to virtually nothing during the swell of capitalist development. The "Nairamdal" childrens' park remains closed [[http://ubpost.mongolnews.mn/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4868&Itemid=36]] and one small piece of "green space" north of the parliament building will shortly be lost to an expansion project [[http://ubpost.mongolnews.mn/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5075&Itemid=36]]. It is becoming increasingly clear that urban parkland is essential to the vibrancy and health of a city[[http://www.greenkeys-project.net/en/resources/goodpractice.html?res_id=46]]. Thus, as an issue of cultural heritage and as an issue of urban planning, the park must remain.
We'll deal with the issue of immediacy in the next point, but it is also important to recognize that "development creep" is a danger that must be halted. If developer A builds 50 meters into the Bogd Khan SPA one year, then developer B will be more confident building down the road, 100 meters into the parkland, the next year. Because of the shape of the park boundaries -- consisting of a multitude of valleys -- such minor infringements eat up large pieces of the park's area. This isn't a slippery slope fallacy; rather, it's a precipitous fall that must be prevented by firm action from the outset.
Development in Mongolia's Bogd Khan Strictly Protected Area should be halted immediately.Yes because... No because...
The Strength of Industry
Given the high-rent nature of the developments in question, and the strong influence the private business sector has on the government, it seems likely that the benefactors of the development in the Bogd Khan SPA are the leaders of industry and their friends, the political leaders. The political climate in Mongolia is -- to use the sort of euphemistic verbiage that is typically adopted by business councils -- "conducive to business and direct investment." In other words, the business leaders control things: laws are changed when needed, and there is little interference with successful business endeavors.
Thus, the likelihood that development in the Bogd Khan SPA will eventually become legalized (and perhaps even encouraged) is quite high. The only way to ensure that the park is protected in the long term is to push through strong protective measures now.
Similarly, a minor legislative re-write will not be sufficient: what is needed is to create in the minds of the average Mongolian the opinion that the Bogd Khan SPA is a special, important, and thoroughly-protected place. This can be strengthened through conservation projects, the likes of which international NGOs are chomping at the bit to get into[[http://blogs.worldbank.org/eastasiapacific/mongolia-turn-around-for-the-worlds-oldest-nature-reserve]].
Development in Mongolia's Bogd Khan Strictly Protected Area should be halted immediately.Yes because... No because...
Development is the First Obstacle
Unfortunately, the Bogd Khan SPA will face many existential challenges in the coming decades. Ulaanbaatar's burgeoning population requires a massive supply of firewood, and illegal woodcutting is a serious problem. This is exacerbated by the difficulty of growing trees in Mongolia's arid soil. Untended campfires have led to a great deal of forest fire damage and, with increased use, wildfires will continue to be a significant concern. Other ecosystem damage -- soil compactification from overuse of vehicles off roads, unsustainable hunting and gathering processes, and herding animals in the SPA's southern valleys -- also threaten the park. Lastly, the desertification that is occurring throughout Mongolia, partially as a consequence of climate change, will also encroach on the park.
However, none of these difficulties can be addressed until the elephant in the room is deal with. And since they must be addressed, the elephant -- development -- needs to come to heel.
Consider the poor man who is cutting trees to warm his ger for the winter. How can you convince him to keep the Bogd Khan sacred when, only a few hundred meters away, a rich businessman is building himself a new mansion? The environmental effort earlier referenced[[http://blogs.worldbank.org/eastasiapacific/mongolia-turn-around-for-the-worlds-oldest-nature-reserve]] would never have gone ahead if there was no evidence of the government seeming to take a stand on development.
We've argued that the Bogd Khan SPA is essential for the residents of Ulaanbaatar, from the perspectives of culture and urban planning. We've also shown that the protection must occur immediately and significantly. Since the necessary first step of preservation of the Bogd Khan SPA is to stop development, it is imperative that development in the Bogd Khan SPA be halted immediately.Debates > Development in Mongolia's Bogd Khan Strictly Protected Area should be halted immediately.

ABKCO announced yesterday that they have secured the rights to Chilean filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky's film "The Dance of Reality," his first film in 23 years.
This acquisition marks the third collaboration between Jodorowsky and ABKCO, which released the director's "El Topo" and "Holy Mountain" in 2007. Indiewire was able to catch the autobiographical drama in Cannes last year, and called it "gloriously entertaining" and a "return to form" for the long absent Jodorowsky.
Following last years international premiere, "The Dance of Reality" will make its U.S. debut at SXSW before its May 23 New York and Los Angeles release.

Lower East Side's Anti-Pizza Crusader Has Really Had It Up to Here With Pizza
The petitioner is mad as hell and not going to take pizza, any pizza, anymore.
The creator of an online petition seeking to prevent new pizzerias from opening on the Lower East Side wants to make it clear that every single outlet that covered his or her intrepid crusade thus far — including NPR, Gothamist, CBS, and Grub Street — didn't quite understand the message, which is that all pizzerias must be stopped. Cheap, fancy, exotic, novel — none of this matters, and the petitioner's Change.org page has been amended: "To clarify the point of this petition," it now reads, "It is not an anti $1 slice pizza petition. We're sick of ALL pizzerias. No more $1 slice pizzerias. No more expensive brick oven pizzerias. NO MORE PIZZERIAS!" Garlic knots should presumably also shove it. [EV Grieve, Earlier]

Two ISU games listed in top 12 games to watch this fall by Missouri paper. Interesting list. #'s 1, 2, & 4 should be very interesting non ISU games.
"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject" - Winston Churchill
Well I could have guessed that the ISU vs Iowa game was going to be one of our 2 games but I was really surprised to see the Toledo game on there too. How good are they supposed to be? I know that they made it to a bowl game last year but did they get there by unexpectently winning their conference or what?
I really hope that we can start the season off with a win but what does everyone else think about this matchup?
we have a lot more talent than toledo, but we play really crappy in our first game.. Toledo usually has a solid offense (passing) and this could be bad news, especially with the defensive question marks... we have the talent to win, but this could be closer than we want it to be...
Originally Posted by BoxsterCy

Toledo loses a lot from last year, including most of their offense. While it is true that they return 8 starters on offense and 7 on defense, it's WHO they lost that will be a problem for them, I believe.
They lose their QB, Bruce Gradkowski, who was drafted, I think, and was mostly responsible for the good season (I believe he was their offensive MVP). They also lose their top two RBs (starter and backup) but they have several guys who played last year and one guy who redshirted last year after an injury. Four starters return on the O line. They lost several WRs, but their top guy returns and they have a lot of WRs as they run a lot of four WR sets. They list 12 WRs in their two deeps at four different positions. Their likely QB starter is a sophomore (6-3, 205) who completed 75 percent of his passes last year in spot duty, including one start against Fresno State when Gradkowski was injured. They lost to Fresno State 44-14.
On defense, they lose three of their four leading tacklers, including 2 inside LBs and a free safety. They also lose a CB and the top backup CB. The free safety is being moved to safety this year, I believe. They run a 3-4 defense, so their two outside LBs return. They lost their all-MAC placekicker too.
Their head coach just hates to punt too. He has gone for it on fourth down a whopping 34 percent of the time in his five seasons at Toledo. That's 154 times he's gone for it on fourth down, an average of about 2.5 times every game. And he's been successful about 56 percent of the time (87 times they made it).

Final Stats
DeKALB, Ill. -
Northern Illinois's women's soccer team took on the Western Illinois Leathernecks on Sunday. Both teams came to play, resulting in two overtime periods. By the end of the 110 game minutes, a winner could not be decided, so the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
"We gave a great effort out there today," said Head Coach John Ross. "Both teams played very hard. I would have liked to win, but with that effort, I'll take the result we got."
The game figured to be an exciting one from the start. During the 11th minute, NIU had a good scoring opportunity in front of WIU's net. The ball was juggled up into the air for a few seconds, but a Leatherneck defender was able to clear it out of the group of players and keep the game scoreless.
On the other end, the Leathernecks found themselves in a very similar situation just 10 minutes later. The ball was high in the air when Amy Carr (Hemel Hempstead, England/Townsend Church of England) went to go snatch it to give possession to NIU. However, the ball slipped through Carr's hands, giving WIU a window to score. That didn't happen though, as Huskie defenders were able to knock the ball out of bounds and end the scoring threat.
The game could not remain scoreless forever due these kinds of threats. During the 35th minute, WIU's Kristin Becker took a rebound off of Carr's hands and punched in an easy goal to give her team a 1-0 lead at the time. This lead stood for the remainder of the first half.
With so many scoring opportunities, NIU was bound to get one through sooner or later. In the 61st minute, the Huskies were finally able to make one count. Cori Frankenberg (Appleton, Wis./Appleton East) saw an opening from roughly 35 yards out from the goal. She rocketed the ball through the defense and past the opposing goaltender to tie the score at 1-1.
Overtime play featured more scoring opportunities on both sides, but both defenses were able to come up big in those spots. Whether it was a goaltender making a nice save or a defender forcing an errant shot, neither team could break through for the winning shot. As such, the game ended in a 1-1 tie.
With the draw, the Huskies now sit at 2-4-1 on the season. The Huskies out-shot the opposing Leathernecks 16-6. Of those 16 shots, nine were headed for the goal. Both teams were charged with two yellow cards during the game, including those given to Courtney Ksiazek (Naperville, Ill./Neuqua Valley) and Margaret Rivera (Lake in the Hills, Ill./Harry D. Jacobs).
NIU next plays on Friday, September 20 at 7 p.m. The Huskies will face Loyola Chicago in Chicago for their eighth match of the year. It will be the only game of the weekend for the team.

Mumbai, (BollywoodNewsWorld.com) The "Kurbaan" promos feature only Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor while Vivek Oberoi is hardly to be seen. Director Rensil D'Silva says his role is so deeply affiliated to the plot's suspense that if exposed too much, it can give away the story.
"It's a very strange situation. Vivek is one of the central characters. But almost every scene of his is a dead give away of the suspense. What do we do?"
The director discussed the problem with Vivek.
"I've spoken to Vivek and explained the dilemma. He was cool with not being featured in the promos that much. He said to do whatever is right for the film because when the film opens the truth about the extent of his role will be out," D'Silva told IANS.
"Vivek has worked very hard in the film. He had to acquire a true New Yorker's accent and not the kind Indians get at the John F. Kennedy airport. We had a couple of New Yorkers on the sets to coach him.
"He's got the NY accent bang-on. It's not a borough-specific accent. It's a general New York twang and Vivek is superb with it," he added.
D'Silva shoots down the rumours that Vivek has a cameo in "Kurbaan"?
"Not true at all. Vivek is in 80 percent of the film. He's central to the drama. He was in my room in Philadelphia every night to discuss his diction, dialogues and looks. I see his career at the cusp of something really exciting," said the director.
Releasing Nov 20, the film is based on terrorism.

24 Weeks of Windows Phone Metro Design | #8 Layout & Composition Part I
24 Weeks of Windows Phone Design Index
Hello! This time I decided to record a video for you. Finishing the design series is taking me more than I'd like so I'll produce videos to finish sooner and at the same time be able to cover all topics in depth. Here is the first part of Layout & Composition in Windows Phone.
Here is the Panorama.design file I mention in the video…
Video Notes
The key take away of this video is to leverage the Windows Phone design grid. Last year while I was at Microsoft, we started pushing strongly towards using this grid. During a casual conversation with Jeff Wilcox he picked up on the notion of the grid and created a Metro Grid Helper. Note: This helper displays a Grid that is 25 x 25 pixels… the actual grid should be from left to right: 24 pixels, 12 pixels, 25 pixels, 12 pixels, 25 pixels etc etc and finish in 24 pixels. Could any one in the community update Jeff's helper to match these dimensions? Remember to respect the 24 pixels margin to the left and right in your Windows Phone design composition. The next magical number is 12 pixels which is the padding used extensively across Windows Phone. I usually set my nudge distance to 12 pixels in Expression Design (you can do something similar in Photoshop and Illustrator). With a nudge of 12 pixels I can then move, position and copy objects in multiples of 12 which is a great way of laying out items. In this video we show the Windows Phone design grid and we lay out some basic shapes. In the next few videos we'll get deeper into how to lay out text and also on how to deal with irregular shapes or custom sized tiles.

How to detect if a youtube video is not playable?
I am aware there is a way by calling a request to the youtube api however this would take too much time to check for each video since the videos are playing on user request.
Is there a way to check on the status of the youtube player and if it does not play then act accordingly?
I know there a few status like ready, stopped, playing, qued. Couldnt find a status for this specific thing.
Thanks in advance
ok I have found the solution. But it wouldnt let me post it because im not cool enough like you guys. Here it is:
onYouTubePlayerReady = function() {
player.addEventListener("onError", "onPlayerError");
function onPlayerError(errorCode) {
if you want to check for a certain error the error codes are on the youtube site. However this was enough for me.

Taxing my sanity
Glad to see the story in your Aug. 21 editions on opposition to Pasco County's plan to increase the gasoline tax. Many of us wouldn't know about it otherwise, until it was too late.
Everyone who works in or live near adjoining counties will buy gas in those places instead of Pasco if the county increases the gas tax by five cents a gallon. I'm five minutes from Pinellas and would buy gas there.
This shows the stupidity of Pasco's leaderless leaders. This is one reason why the county is in a shambles and always has been. Cut corners and eventually you run out of corners. Thus, we go in circles.
Fire all of them, including Washington, D.C.
Bill Durnell
All down hill
Len Tria's right-wing diatribe in his Aug, 21 column "We're Approaching a Constitutional Cliff" started off ridiculously and went steadily downhill from there.
He lobbed vague references at the current administration, accusing it of no less than the collapse of modern democracy and capitalism. He made it sound as if we've simply opened up the borders, offered a tin-foil hat theory of government infiltration and then topped off his crazy salad by invoking the tea party as the voice of reason.
If Tria wants to get to the root of the "economic collapse" he implied President Barack Obama is trying to create, I suggest he start by looking at his own party, specifically the eight years of George W. Bush, which actually did almost collapse our economy.
Michael McGinty
Stick to code
Pasco County officials say we can't afford to hire more code enforcement officers. I say we cannot afford not to hire more code enforcers.
The small residential developments that made Pasco County are becoming slums because people are not keeping up their property. Houses on which banks have foreclosed seem to be the biggest offenders, but rentals seem to play a role, too.
The county needs to help the people who do maintain their property and raise the fines and those who don't. I would pay to have more code enforcers.

As far as design and fashion goes, it's often said that history repeats itself. The trends, the fads, what's cool and what's not. The decor and design in the front lobby of our KARE 11 Studios wouldn't necessarily be called "modern", but we think it's hip looking. It's clearly dated but it shows a lot of character. I'm not exactly sure how long the red chairs have been in place but I know it's been over 15 years. I remember sitting on those cozy chairs during a station tour when I was half my age.
We all know some of the old fads are starting to come around again including clothing and hair styles. We're not sure if this is "cool" right now but I look at them as classics... And hey, you can never get rid of a classic, right?
Have a great week!

Convention Abbreviation: CERD
Sixty-fourth session
23 February – 12 March 2004
Concluding observations of the Committee on the
Elimination of Racial Discrimination
1. The Committee considered the fifteenth and sixteenth periodic reports of the Netherlands, submitted as one document (CERD/C/452/Add.3), at its 1634th and 1635th meetings (CERD/C/SR/1634 & 1635). At its 1641st meeting, held on 12 March 2004, it adopted the following concluding observations.
A. Introduction
2. The Committee welcomes the reports submitted by the State party and the additional oral and written information provided by the delegation. The Committee has been encouraged by the attendance of a very large delegation and expresses its appreciation for the thorough responses provided to the questions asked.
B. Positive aspects
3. The Committee welcomes the fact that the extensive and detailed report of the State party is in conformity with the reporting guidelines and that it addresses the concerns and recommendations formulated by the Committee after the consideration of the previous State party's report.
4. The Committee notes with satisfaction the recent adoption of the National Action Plan against Racism, dealing with the issues of living environment, awareness raising and equal treatment in the labour market, in accordance with the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action.
5. The Committee welcomes the progress made towards the full implementation of article 4 of the Convention through the adoption of further amendments to the Criminal Code increasing the maximum penalties for structural forms of systematic racial discrimination.
6. The Committee welcomes the adoption of a Bill of 10 February 2004 implementing the principle of equal treatment between persons irrespective of racial or ethnic origin and establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation.
7. The Committee commends the fact that foreigners who have been legally resident in the Netherlands for five years are entitled to vote and to stand for local election.
8. The Committee also notes with satisfaction the establishment in 2001 of a Committee on the Employment of Women from Ethnic Minority Groups aimed at promoting participation of ethnic minority women in society and in the labour market.
9. The Committee notes with appreciation that the State party has ratified the amendments to article 8 paragraph 6 of the Convention.
C. Concerns and recommendations
10. The Committee is concerned about the occurrence in the State party of racist and xenophobic incidents, particularly of an anti-Semitic and "islamophobic" nature, and of manifestations of discriminatory attitudes towards ethnic minorities.
The Committee encourages the State party to continue monitoring all tendencies which may give rise to racist and xenophobic behaviour and to combat the negative consequences of such tendencies. The Committee further recommends that the State party continue to promote general awareness of diversity and multiculturalism at all levels of education, paying particular attention to respect for the cultural rights of minorities, and pursue the effective implementation of measures to facilitate the integration of minority groups in Dutch society.
11. While the Committee notes with satisfaction the State party's efforts aimed at combating racist propaganda and the spread of racist and xenophobic material on the Internet, including the forthcoming ratification of the Convention on Cybercrime and its additional protocol concerning the criminalization of acts of a racist and xenophobic nature committed through computer systems, it is concerned by the sharp increase in the number of complaints received by the Dutch Complaints Bureau for Discrimination on the Internet (MDI).
The Committee encourages the State party to continue its efforts to combat this contemporary manifestation of racial discrimination and wishes to be informed on measures taken in this regard.
12. The Committee regrets that no reference is made in the report to article 3 of the Convention in relation to racial segregation and continues to express concern at the situation of de facto school segregation in some parts of the country.
In the light of its general recommendation XIX, the Committee recalls that racial segregation can also arise without any initiative or direct involvement by the public authorities and encourages the State party to continue monitoring all trends which may give rise to racial or ethnic segregation and taking measures to minimize the resulting negative consequences. Furthermore, the Committee invites the State party to provide in its next periodic report information on any action taken to address this issue.
13. The Committee notes that the Employment of Minorities Act (Wet Samen) ceased to be in force on 31 December 2003 and expresses concern about possible negative consequences that may ensue, given that the Wet Samen was the only legislative instrument containing regulations on the participation of ethnic minorities in the labour market and requiring employers to register the number of members of ethnic minorities employed by them.
The Committee recommends that the State party take adequate policy measures in order to ensure a proper representation of ethnic minority groups in the labour market.
14. The Committee takes note of the Aliens Act 2000, which came into force on 1 April 2001, and welcomes the possibility that asylum-seekers can be granted a residence permit even after the rejection of their claim through judicial appeal, provided they are able to demonstrate objectively that they cannot return to their country. However, it is of the opinion that the criteria for any decisions by the authorities in this regard should be as clearly defined as possible, taking into account all aspects of the individual case. The Committee is also concerned about the possible risks which the Government's plan to return a very large number of failed asylum-seekers may entail, particularly with regard to respect for their human rights and the unity of their families.
The Committee requests the State party to ensure that its asylum procedures are in full conformity with international standards and, when proceeding with the return of asylum-seekers to their countries, to respect the principle of non-expulsion of a person to another State when there are substantial grounds for believing that there is a risk to his/her life or physical integrity, as well as the principles of unity of family and adequate treatment of minors who may await expulsion.
15. While the Committee notes with satisfaction the information that the number of police officers belonging to ethnic minorities has increased in recent years, it remains concerned about the high percentage of resignations among these groups.
The Committee encourages the State party to continue promoting the effective implementation of measures aimed at ensuring that the ethnic composition of the police appropriately reflects the ethnic composition of Dutch society and invites the State party to include in its next report statistical information in this respect.
16. The Committee invites the State party to envisage accession to the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families.
17. The Committee encourages the State party to continue consulting with organizations of civil society working in the area of combating racial discrimination during the preparation of the next periodic report.
18. The Committee recommends that the State party's reports be made readily available to the public from the time they are submitted and that the observations of the Committee on these reports be similarly publicized.
19. The Committee recommends that the State party submit its seventeenth periodic report jointly with its eighteenth periodic report, due on 9 January 2007 and that it address all points raised in the present concluding observations.

While both of the county's head law enforcement officers—Sheriff Lewis Hatcher and District Attorney Jon David—received overwhelming victories in the primaries, such a show of support does not mean it's time for anyone to rest on their laurels.
David's office has had a few missteps along the route since his first election; Hatcher was very popular as chief deputy under Chris Batten, but indications are Hatcher could have won the election even without Batten's endorsement.
Our county is facing significant criminal problems, even moreso than counties where the economy has taken a slight turn for the better. It isn't the job of law enforcement to create jobs, but in our county's case, we have a thriving industry in the illegal sale of prescription drugs. This is a challenge that both law officers and prosecutors have yet to adequately meet, although there have been legitimate, laudable strides in the right direction. Better regulation of the medical community is necessary before the prescription drug problem can be controlled, so for the time being, law enforcement and prosecutors have to be relied upon to handle this monstrous problem.
Problems don't just exist on the streets, either. The edicts sent down from the Raleigh and Washington politicians for more school security and more emphasis on gangs are rarely accompanied by checks to fund such programs. Court battles over David's drunk driving court have been an embarrassment to all sides of the issue of driving while impaired. In the meantime, crimes continue, and get worse, despite the best efforts of law enforcement.
David has something of an adversarial reputation with defense attorneys; this is a good thing, as long as that adversity does not develop into a state where there is no cooperation. The line he balances is a thin one—prosecutors must be able to be on friendly professional terms with defense attorneys, since pleas are sometimes the proper choice for some crimes, yet too many bad guys have returned to the streets to commit too many more crimes in districts across this state where prosecutors and defense attorneys became cozy. Too many repeat offenders crowd the county's courts.
The specter of electronic gaming has again reared its head, due to additional loopholes bored by the gaming lobby, and local law enforcement and the courts can only put off dealing with e-gambling for so long. While we applaud the careful approach David and local law officers had when the games were first banned, when the new, improved, 'legal' machines come to Columbus, a coherent, effective policy will have to be created and consistently followed.
Hatcher's influence over the sheriff's office is already showing. While some of his opponents and detractors have poked fun at Hatcher's requirement that his officers maintain a professional appearance, a sharp appearance elicits respect in public and increases morale in the ranks. A well-shined pair of shoes might not stop the prescription drug problem, but an officer with a professional, commanding appearance can quickly defuse a dangerous situation, as well as providing a better image for our county's law enforcement.
Neither David nor Hatcher currently face competition on the fall ballot (and unless a petition drive surprises us, neither will). The vote last week was one of confidence in the status quo—and a call to responsibility for both men to improve communication and cooperation between the DA and law enforcement, and fulfill their most important duty—to protect and serve the people of Columbus County.

I think the 2nd split will be a whole lot better well im going to just hope and cross my fingers its better
Hey Addicted were do you hunt the Lake r the Marsh and how many years have you ben in the club. this is our first year may b a off year, we have 2 spots 1 in the lake and 1 in the marsh opening day we were in the marsh not 1 duck only 18 coots. We just pick up SPOt in G M the last week Got 10 ducks that day. WE LOVE THE D U C BUT WE R NOT DOING GOOD OVER THER. HOPE THE 2 HALF IS BETTER.---SPECKER SEARCHER
my buddy and i have been on the lease for 2 years
now last year we smoked the ducks for the first split greys teal cans redheads ruddy ducks pretty much everything we launch at falgouts and cross over the levee its the first big pond on the right we hunted the same area this year but in a nice pond right off the big pond opening day we shot our 12 but lost 3 in the grass i only made 2 hunts since then and didnt do any better shot 4 one day and 6 the next my buddy has been going and just wasting time idk what the deal is this year but its nowhere near what it was like last year im getting on a different lease next year further towards the gulf but my buddy is keeping it cuz the fishing and frogging is amazing
I'd have to say that the first split was about par with last year for me. Maybe a little better but killing a lot more grey ducks this year and not so many mallards. So far I've taken 47 birds. We definitely need some COLD fronts to bring down more birds.
Blue-wing teal: 9
Green-wing teal: 6
Grey Duck: 22
Shoveler: 4
Scaup: 3
Wood Duck: 1
Mallard: 1
Pintail: 1
Haven't hunted indian bayou since last year all the hyacinth choked everything off got to annoying. So far we have shot about 30 birds all consisting of greys and teal and one hooded merganser. See plenty of dogris but always pass on those. The birds ive killed this year so far have been out the biloxi marsh and I have only been able to hunt the weekend due to work.
Just my comparison from last year to rhis year, last year seemed like birds everywhere. This year you'll be lucky to see em.
Addicted thinking of doing the same, But may keep the ONE in the Lake. The sad part we have lost half the season that y i would love a later season. Next week may try the Lake ,But will go first to our G. M. lease.
from the looks of my first split, im going to have a record season...86 teal for teal seaon and ove 400 big ducks and a couple geese. despite the warm weather, ducks are still flying very well and the gadwalls are insane..widgeons mallards pintail are thick..
You must be hunting west? Near lacassine/Cameron Praire/Sabine? Thats the only area with and real ducks like that I know of.

Important: Multilingual Text Engine (MLTE) is deprecated in Mac OS X v10.6 and later. To implement text editing, please use the Cocoa text system instead.
MLTE Introduction
Multilingual Text Engine (MLTE) is an application programming interface (API) that allows your application to provide Carbon-compliant Unicode text editing. MLTE is a replacement for TextEdit that offers more features than those in TextEdit—features such as document-wide tabs, full justification of text, support for more than 32 KB of text, built-in scroll bar handling, built-in printing support, support for inline input, support for the advanced font features of Apple Type Services for Unicode Imaging (ATSUI), and support for multiple levels of undo.
You can use MLTE to replace TextEdit functions in your existing applications. With it, you can significantly reduce the number of lines in your code because MLTE handles most of the low-level tasks you had to code in the past.
MLTE provides a quick and easy solution for static display of Unicode text and for creating Unicode-compliant text-editing fields within an application. You can also use MLTE if your application needs to provide text editing support within a full-size window.
For information about ATSUI (which MLTE supports), see ATSUI Programming Guide.

The holidays can play havoc with diets and weight. With one party after another and best foods constantly on offer, it can be very difficult to keep a healthy diet. We tend to partake of such great, glorious rich food and throw caution to the wind.
But come January, one of the first and most common resolutions is to lose weight by getting back on the diet wagon. If you are one of those people, you need to follow some definite steps along with including some definite foods.
There are some ten must-include foods for your New Year diet plan. These ten foods are a must if you are deciding to eat correctly with moderate exercise.
Let's look at these foods in detail.

I've got an appointment with a gastro coming up, but I would love to hear if anyone has any ideas about what's going on with me. A while back (maybe 6 months ago?) I started having this pain in my stomach just about every night for about 2 1/2 weeks. The pain was bad enough that it kept me awake, but not bad enough to make me think anything was horribly wrong. When I finally decided to see someone about it though, it stopped and I thought that was the end of it.
I didn't feel anything at all for a few months, then out of nowhere one evening, I felt the same pain, but it was a LOT more intense (like almost on the same level as natural childbirth) and I felt nauseous and gassy also. The pain lasted maybe 10 minutes then went away completely and I was left feeling a little shakey and mildly nauseous for an hour or so.
Fast forward a month and the pain came back in the middle of the afternoon. It was just as bad as the last time, but lasted almost two hours and I didn't feel very good again for a couple of days.
It came again last night just as bad as ever and lasted about 1/2 an hour, nausea, bloated gassy feeling and all.
The pain starts about halfway up my ribs and runs down in two lines (one on either sid of my navel) down into my stomach. It radiates through my stomach to my back, but isn't nearly as intense back there. I seem to feel it up in my right shoulder also and it seems to be (VERY slightly) worse on the right side. I also sometimes feel like theres a lot of air in my stomach bubbling around.
I do know that I have gallstones (my urologist saw them on a ct scan I had done for kidney stones), but I'm not sure that's what is causing this. I've had a lot of gas since this all started (which is very unusual for me) and I get nauseous for no apparent reason a couple of times a week. I can't come up with any "triggers"
Any input/thoughts/experiences would be greatly appreciated!
I wanted to mention parasites though. My son did a Metametrix comprehensive stool to find the cause of his pain when doctor's couldn't find anything. He had b. hominus and d. fragilis. I would see what GI comes up with first of course. But come and go pain could well be parasitic.
Rachelle, mommy to 8 year old boys!
My Blog-free homeschooling finds and my lesson plans and link to the new User Agreement
those symptoms are quite similar to mine when I had gallstones
Sounds very much like gallbladder; in additions its supposed to be classic for gallbladder when the pain radiates to the back. I had those same symptoms and it was my gallbladder.

→ See Indicators for National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey
The National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS) collects data on the utilization and provision of medical care services provided in hospital emergency and outpatient departments. Data are collected from medical records.
Hospital staff are asked to complete a Patient Record Form for a sample of patient visits during an assigned reporting period.
Data are collected on types of providers seen, reason for visit, diagnoses, drugs ordered, provided, or continued, and selected procedures and tests performed during the visit. Other data collected include patient demographics, method of payment, and selected characteristics of the hospital.
The survey is a representative sample of visits to emergency departments and outpatient departments of nonfederal, short-stay, or general hospitals. Telephone contacts are excluded.
A four-stage probability sample design is used in NHAMCS, involving (a) samples of geographically defined primary sampling units (PSUs), (b) hospitals within PSUs, (c ) clinics within outpatient departments (OPDs), and (d) patient visits within clinics. Emergency departments (EDs) are treated as their own stratum and all service areas are included. In the OPD survey, a clinic is defined as an administrative unit of the OPD in which ambulatory medical care is provided under the supervision of a physician. Clinics where only ancillary services (e.g., radiology, laboratory services) are provided, or other settings in which physician services are not typically provided, are excluded. EDs included in the survey must offer 24 hour physician services. Visits to eligible EDs and OPDs are systematically sampled over a 4-week reporting period such that about 100 ED encounters and about 200 OPD encounters are selected. Hospital staff are asked to complete patient record forms for each sampled visit. Sample data are weighted to produce national estimates.
in any given year, the hospital sample consists of approximately 500 hospitals, of which 80% have EDs and about one-half have eligible OPDs. Typically, about 1,000 clinics are selected from participating hospital OPDs. In 2007, the number of patient record forms completed for EDs was 35,490 and for OPDs was 34,473. The hospital response rate was 94% for EDs and 84% for ODPs.
The NHAMCS patient record form is modified approximately every 2 to 4 years to reflect changes in physician practice characteristics, patterns of care, and technological innovations.

What makes me tick by British textile designer Clarissa Hulse
'Favourite design piece
The Routemaster Bus. I love the colour and shape and I really miss it (although now I have small children I must admit they are not very practical for travelling with a buggy!) I think it's aesthetically pleasing especially if you compare it to what it's been replaced with (hideous bendy bus). I love the way you used to be able to jump on and off anywhere and you didn't have to wait for the stop.
Favourite inspirations
I look at artists for inspiration. I love the work of British sculptor Andy Goldsworthy. I love the gradation in shades of his leaves and stones, and how he interacts with the environment around him. My designs are based on nature too and it's very challenging to make something look even more beautiful than nature itself but I think he achieves it.
Mark Rothko is also wonderful because of his amazing use of colour. It's incredible to have such simplicity in his work yet to be so powerful.
[Mark Rothko image from markrothkopaintings.net]
Favourite project I've worked on
I'm just about to launch a fabric and wallpaper collection with Harlequin (top and below), which I've been working on for about a year. It's called the Kallianthi collection, which means 'wild flower' in Ancient Greek. I'm half Greek so a lot of the flowers and plants used in the designs are inspired by Greece, where my parents currently live. It was great working with Harlequin and being able to team up with their resources. They have fabrics woven all round the world, so for each of my designs they could use the best mills to create the best product. It was a pleasure to work with the whole team, especially the design director, as she guided me through the collection and, I feel, brought out the best in me.
Favourite way to spend the weekend
I would have a lovely long lie in, and somehow my children would have miraculously got up late and fixed their own breakfast. We would then mooch around some markets and have a pub lunch. My husband would have planned a surprise night out at a delicious posh restaurant (babysitting all organized), followed by cocktails with friends. Failing all that, a weekend away staying with friends who live in the country would come a close second.
Favourite city
There are so many wonderful cities, London being one, but if I could I would love to live in Lisbon. All textile designers love tiles, and many of the houses there are covered in them in an array of inspiring colours and patterns. It's so much more
interesting having a house covered in tiles rather than boring brick house, don't you think? I also love that it's by the sea, has an amazing climate and delicious cakes!
Favourite hotel
I recently was in Lancaster where Harlequin's fabrics are printed and I was totally stunned when I was unexpectedly put up in a gem of a boutique hotel called The Ashton (I think it won best B&B award last year). The hotel only has five rooms and the owner cooks for you and serves the delicious home-made food in the little dining room. It feels more like being in someone's home than a hotel. And, it had Ren beauty products in all the rooms! It was all I could do not to pinch the lot!
Favourite hobby
I don't have a spare second for hobbies… two kids, a business and a messy husband keeps my hands FULL! However, I do just about find time to indulge my passion for reading cookery books and experimenting in the kitchen occasionally...'

J.Lo and Beyoncé's Beckham battleMADRID - Jennifer Lopez and BeyoncÃ�'© Knowles are reportedly locked in a bitter dispute over England soccer captain David Beckham.
The two pop babes are allegedly scrapping it out with each other to have the handsome Real Madrid ace in their new videos.
Both singers are said to be desperate to secure the services of the 29-year-old footballer because of his enormous appeal in Europe and the Far East.
The Destiny's Child beauty and J.Lo both came up with the idea after witnessing his jaw-dropping popularity when the trio of stars toured Europe promoting their new Pepsi advert.
A source revealed to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "They couldn't believe how popular he was. During the promotional appearances more people were screaming for him than them. David is known in America but on nothing like the same scale.
"J.Lo and Beyonc�'© have good business heads and realise what good publicity it would be to have David in their videos."
Beckham - who recently celebrated the birth of his third son, Cruz, with wife Victoria - is now said to be considering which star to choose because his gruelling football schedule doesn't leave him a lot of extra time.

Ex-worker sues Iowa county over alleged harassment
(Information in the following story is from: KIMT-TV, http://www.kimt.com )
CHARLES CITY, Iowa (AP) A paralegal is suing Floyd County over alleged sexual harassment by the former county attorney.
A lawsuit filed Thursday by Theresa Farmer, cited by KIMT-TV, says county supervisors and others in authority failed to act on her repeated reports of sexual harassment by Jesse Marzen. Marzen lost his job as county attorney in 2010 after the high court suspended his law license. The court said he broke the rules when he had a sexual relationship with a client before he was elected in November 2006.
Farmer's lawsuit says Marzen touched her, made sexual comments and posted inappropriate things on the walls of his office.
Farmer was fired by Marzen in 2009.
The number for the Floyd County attorney's office rang unanswered Saturday. No number was listed for Marzen.
Iowa regents audit UIHC unit over billing issues
(Information in the following story is from: Iowa City Press-Citizen, http://www.press-citizen.com/ )
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) The Iowa Board of Regents has been auditing a unit within the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics after reports of billing errors and inconsistencies in following patient privacy laws.
The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports the problems are related to a new electronic records-keeping system that was implemented in 2009.
Another UIHC unit, the Heart and Vascular Center, was audited last year after problems with the same system. That audit found $11 million worth of services were not billed to patients.
The latest audit found some doctors in the ophthalmology unit are not properly entering information into the system, causing billing problems. The extent of those problems has not been released.
The regents will discuss that audit at its Wednesday meeting. The university declined to comment until after that meeting.

Pawlenty has been in Iowa about a half-dozen times since ruling out another campaign for governor.
His itinerary this time includes stops in Ankeny and West Des Moines.
He heads back to Iowa on Feb. 7 to deliver a lecture to a socially conservative group known as The Family Leader.
Freshman leads No. 23 Iowa State past Missouri
AMES, Iowa (AP) Freshman Hallie Christofferson scored 18 points and Chelsea Poppens added 12 points and a career-high 19 rebounds, leading No. 23 Iowa State to a 71-56 victory over Missouri on Saturday.
Lauren Mansfield contributed 14 points in a balanced offensive game that enabled the Cyclones (15-5, 3-3 Big 12) to survive a rare stretch of cold shooting by leading scorer Kelsey Bolte.
Iowa State built a 24-point lead in the first half and led 39-19 at halftime despite getting only six points from Bolte. Missouri (10-11, 2-5) whittled the lead to 67-56 with just over a minute to play, but Mansfield sank two free throws and Bolte hit a jumper to end the threat.
Bolte, averaging a league-best 24 points in Big 12 play, made two of her first three shots, then missed 13 of her next 14 and finished with 12 points on 5-for-20 shooting.
Iowa State's victory spoiled the return of Missouri coach Robin Pingeton, who was an assistant for the Cyclones from 2000-03. Shakara Jones led the Tigers with 16 points.
Pledger leads Oklahoma past Iowa State 82-76 in OT
AMES, Iowa (AP) Steven Pledger scored 12 of his career-high 38 points in overtime and Oklahoma broke a 19-game losing streak away from home with an 82-76 victory over Iowa State on Saturday night.
Oklahoma (11-9, 3-3 Big 12) blew a 15-point first-half lead, then rallied from six points down in regulation to tie the game at 67 on Pledger's 3-pointer.
Pledger then dominated the extra session, nailing consecutive 3s to put the Sooners up 75-72 and his steal and layup made it 77-72 with 1:40 remaining.
Melvin Ejim, benched in a lineup switch, responded with 19 points and 12 rebounds to lead Iowa State (14-8, 1-6), which has lost four straight. Jake Anderson and Diante Garrett each scored 18 for the Cyclones, who recovered from a terrible start to make it a game and almost pull out the victory.
