United States forward Clint Dempsey secured his move away from Fulham in the final hours of the transfer window on Friday, signing a three-year contract with Tottenham Hotspur that will keep him in England's Premier League.
Tottenham agreed to pay £6million (about $9.5 million) for Dempsey's services after its final-hour attempt to take him to White Hart Lane proved successful. It had looked for a large portion of the day that Dempsey would either stay at Fulham or move to Liverpool, but those clubs could not agree a fee.
And here's the first exclusive picture of

— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) August 31, 2012
Reports suggested that Liverpool failed to meet Fulham's valuation of Dempsey, despite his clear interest in a move to Anfield. Aston Villa were reported to have had a £5million bid accepted earlier in the day, but the deal fell apart because Dempsey was not interested in the move.
The move to Tottenham signaled the end of a short-lived saga for the 29-year-old Dempsey. Fulham Manager Martin Jol revealed on the eve of the new season that Dempsey wanted to leave the west London club, despite scoring 23 goals in 45 appearances last season, citing Dempsey's intentions to play Champions League soccer. He did not appear in Fulham's first two games
Americans Abroad
U.S. Stars
On the Move
Clint Dempsey was not the only American getting a fresh start on deadline day:
Carlos Bocanegra, the Glasgow Rangers captain, left the purgatory of Scotland's fourth tier for Racing Santander in Spain's second division. Financial crisis-wise, Brian Sciaretta points out, it may be a lateral move.
Oguchi Onyewu may see Bocanegra in Spain. Onyewu, who finished last season at Sporting in Lisbon, agreed to a season-long loan at Malaga. Malaga, which has qualified for the group stage of the Champions League, has an option to buy in the deal.
Maurice Edu also left Rangers, joining his soon-to-be United States national teammate Geoff Cameron at Stoke. Rangers has gone from three Americans to none in the past month; Alejandro Bedoya earlier fled Glasgow for Sweden.
Liverpool, even though it is not playing in the Champions League this season, had seemed the logical destination for Dempsey, with its interest in him flickering on and off through the summer. Jol even lodged an official complaint with the Premier League over the public manner in which Liverpool was pursuing Dempsey while he was still under contract to Fulham.
But Dempsey has now made the move across London to a team with aspirations of playing in the Champions League itself. The deal was among the last before the league deadline on a busy day of activity for both clubs. Fulham signed Dimitar Berbatov from Manchester United and Kieran Richardson, while the French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris will join Dempsey at Tottenham. Spurs did miss out on its top target — the Portuguese star João Moutinho — after seeing Rafael van der Vaart return to Hamburg.
Elsewhere, Manchester City signed Javi Garcia from Benfica, while newly-promoted Southampton broke its transfer record with the purchase of the Uruguayan playmaker Gaston Ramirez from Bologna.
Dempsey's move to Tottenham also means disappointment for Liverpool in the market. The club followed up the loan deal of Andy Carroll to West Ham on Thursday with the departures of Jay Spearing (Bolton, loan), Charlie Adam (Stoke, £4m) and Nathan Ecclestone (Blackpool, undisclosed), but no replacements were forthcoming, despite the Reds' pursuit of Dempsey and their reported interest in Chelsea forward Daniel Sturridge and Arsenal wing Theo Walcott.

Amateur Violations review
Summary: Amateur Violations needs more material, but its fifteen scenes are excellent examples of good reality porn imitating user submitted sex tapes. The scenes are long, rough and gritty with great sex and hot girls. With HD video options and access to the entire Porn Pros network for free the site is a nice pick in the end, but its lack of updates and content made for a lower score.

Intro promises
- User submitted videos
- All exclusive pics and videos
- Access to bonus sites: the whole Porn Pros network
First impression
Amateur Violations looks gritty, fun and authentic from the tour -- but there is a catch: many of the girls in the previews are porn stars. It looks like this is a reality site designed to be as real as authentic user submitted porn sites, only they replace real homemade stuff with quality porn and hot porn stars. The results are better porn that looks just as real as anything on authentic amateur sites. Of course, to be sure we'll need to sign up and start watching the full length scenes to know better.
That's just what I did. I grabbed a subscription, logged in, and had my way on the site. Will Amateur Violations live up to its promises and previews? Read on to find out.
Payment Processors:
Vend-O, Local Billing
Our opinion
They didn't make a big to-do about it on the tour (unless you happened to poke your nose in the Bonus Sites section) but once you sign up it's something that's impossible to miss: Amateur Violations is one of many sites on the Porn Pros network, and as a member you have free and full access to all Porn Pros sites. When you login to Amateur Violations you'll find yourself on the network home of Porn Pros, in fact.
As it turns out, all this bonus content ends up being pretty crucial because Amateur Violations is a very small site. At the time of my visit there were just 15 episodes -- granted they are long, around 40-50 minutes in most cases, but 15 episodes is still a touch light. With no updates in the last two months, it's even more of an issue. In the end it was an issue that most can get by. This is because the porn is very good, and of course all of the thousands of bonus scenes that come on the network sites add a lot of value, too. It helps that many of these sites are of the same spirit and style.
I noted in my first impression that there were many porn stars in the previews -- Charley Chase, Teagan Summers, Jynx Maze are the most stand out -- and I hinted that these episodes aren't really user submitted. In this regard it's like any MILF porn site with scenes seducing the pool boys-- those scenes aren't starring real mothers, well, seducing the pool boy, either. Amateur Violations has done an excellent job of faking it as it were. Though the scenes come in up to 720p HD downloads they are filmed just like they would have been if they were real couples making homemade fuck tapes. The settings, the behavior between the girls and guys, and all that smacks of being very real. The sex however is better, more intense, longer lived, and more varied than what true amateurs could deliver.
You can save any movie in a full length Windows Media file that has a 1250x702 pixel resolution (just a few pixels shy of 1280x720 that makes it 720p HD, but close enough). These movies enjoy a 4 mbits/s bit rate playback and look fantastic. You can also grab MPEG downloads that are 720x404 pixels and have a 2 mbits bit rate. Want to skip the download and view a scene instantly? There is a Flash video player embedded into every scene's page. You can stream in up to 960x540 pixel resolution and the playback is excellent.
Each scene comes with a lot of photos. They look great but aren't high res. You can browse through them online or save them in easy to grab zip files that they provide.
As already noted the bonus sites help to make up for the lack of updates and content, especially sites with similar material and topics like Teen BFF, Webcam Hackers, and Real Ex Girlfriends.
Amateur Violations has fifteen awesome, long, high definition porn scenes to offer. The site isn't growing in 2011, though, which concerns me. With all of the great bonuses the site is still worth joining but the lack of updates for its own collection has really hurt its score.

Shark feeding at Dubai's Atlantis hotel
It's 4pm in Dubai, the sun's cooking at a blistering 42ºC (107ºF) and I'm up to my arms in a bucket of krill – a small, pink and very smelly crayfish. 'Make a ball and throw it in front of her,' comes the instruction.
So I gather a mush of the prawn-like creatures, form a slimy lump and lob it into the pool. The ball separates in mid-air, showering me in a spray of stench.
The whale shark in the aquarium below doesn't care and neither do I – I've just become one in less than 1,000 people around the world to get to feed one of these amazing creatures.
With a grace that belies her huge size, she twists her mottled back, doubles back on herself, opens wide and sucks a load into her open jaws.
'We thought of calling her Hoover,' says Steve Kaiser, the man giving me the feeding lesson. 'But I think we've settled on Sheika. Pending approval by the PR department, that is.'
Marine science
Steve is the unreconstructed Hawaiian 'ichthyologist-cum- marine biologist stroke engineer and architect' – or vice-president of marine science and engineering, to give him his proper title – at Atlantis, the mega resort which opened on Dubai's man-made Palm Island this week. And if it's a big title, it's a big job for, while Atlantis is huge, Steve is the man charged with looking after its showpiece attraction at the heart of the main hotel, The Ambassador Lagoon.
Holding 11million litres of water, it's the third largest aquarium in the world and is home to 65,000 fish. Steve also takes care of its sister attraction, Lost Chambers, 21 more tanks that – in the eyes of visiting children at least – are supposedly the last relics of the legendary submarine city and house everything from translucent jellyfish to 2m-long wels catfish.
'See that bad boy?' asks Steve, pointing to a particularly ugly goliath grouper as we walk through. 'He was in the main tank but he went through five sharks, ten stingrays and three barracuda so we gave him a tank on his own.
Then, when I was showing some investors round, he just turned and emptied his bowels in front of them.'
It's easy to be cynical about Atlantis. It's big, bold, brash and has that level of servile service Brits seem to loathe and Americans adore. Rooms such as the $25,000 (£13,400)-a-night Bridge Suite suggest guests with more money than sense and even less taste, while environmentally it seems to open itself up for the punch.
It's built on an island made from sand dredged from the bottom of the sea and proudly states more than 100,000 light bulbs are used in the resort – and believe me, most of them are on at night. But the work of Steve and his team seems to go almost unrecognised in an effort to balance the scales.
Sheika, for instance, was rescued just down the coast in the Persian Gulf. Found by a fisherman in water that was too shallow, too hot and too saline, if she'd not come to Atlantis she would almost certainly have died. There are so many like her in the resort's aquariums – there's even a fishy hospital backstage where newcomers are acclimatised and sick fish cured.
Feeling the buzzSteve's passion is mirrored in everyone from the guys employed to sweep sand off the drive to world- renowned chefs such as Giorgio Locatelli and Santi Santamaria, who operate two of Atlantis's 17 restaurants.
It's an enthusiasm that can't help but rub off on you. I'd expected to hate Atlantis but it is much less vulgarly bling than I'd expected – save for the Disney-esque exterior, that suite and a particularly horrible 30m-high blown statue in the lobby, that is – and over the course of a few days, I've found myself gradually being won over.
There's tons to do: the Aquaventure water park has stupendous slides, there's a great spa, children's clubs keep the brats out of the way and the food is excellent.
Back at the Ambassador Lagoon Steve is explaining his aquarium philosophy. 'All I want is for people to come in and say: "Wow, look at all the neat fish."' Thanks to him and Sheika, I at least have had my 'wow' moment.
Emirates Tours (0844 800 1400, http://www.emiratestours.co.uk) has three nights in Atlantis from £899 per person including flights from London. Quote EKTDXB32.

Denver Federal Center Launches Bike Share Program
(DENVER, CO) -- The U.S. General Services Administration Denver Federal Center B-Cycle bike sharing system launched today, bringing a new, healthy, eco-friendly alternative to motorized transportation for short trips around the 623-acre campus. The more than 6,000 campus tenants now have access to 50 bikes docked at six stations."This is an exciting time for us and our campus tenants," said Susan Damour, Rocky Mountain Regional Administrator. "Through efforts like this and others, we continue to reduce our government's environmental footprints while offering tenants better connectivity between buildings as well as increased access to public transportation."
The program supports the DFC's goal of becoming the most sustainable federal campus in the country by 2020. These bikes help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with Executive Order 13514, provide carbon-free connectivity between campus buildings, make connecting to the RTD transit station easier, and promote physical activity for tenants.
This pilot program is open to all campus tenants free of charge for the current year and will place the DFC campus one step closer to its goal of becoming the most sustainable campus in the U.S. by 2020. GSA has signed up approximately 440 members with the goal of registering 15% of the campus tenants during the pilot season.
The bikes are designed specifically for urban use, featuring three speeds, fenders, a handlebar basket, adjustable seat, and easy-to-use step-through frame. Users can check out a bike from any self-service station using a personal access card and return it to any other station located on the campus. Bikes can be returned at any of the six kiosks throughout the campus.
The bikes use electronics to keep track of members and they allow riders to track data such as distance, duration, calories burned, and carbon offset. Learn more.

Kim 'wants VB friendship'
Kim Kardashian reportedly wants her and her fiancé Kanye West to bond with David and Victoria Beckham.
The reality TV star attended the recent Met Ball in New York City alongside her fiancé Kanye West. Victoria and her husband David were also there, with Kim apparently seeing it as the perfect opportunity to bond with the fashion designer.
"Kim was desperate to strike up a conversation with Vic. She asked her to suggest designs for her wedding dress and is a bit obsessed with her and Kanye becoming mates with Vic and Dave," an insider told British magazine Heat. "She wondered over while Vic was chatting to Donatella Versace inside, but she did a U-turn at the last minute because they turned their backs on her. It was really embarrassing - she sulked in the corner and was furious when Kanye later chatted to David for ten minutes without introducing her."
Kim was praised for the deep blue Lanvin gown she wore to the event. Her and her rapper beau were the toast of the gala as it came so soon after they appeared on the cover of US Vogue, which is edited by the ball's organiser Anna Wintour.
It's claimed this is another reason why Victoria wasn't keen on spending time with Kim. The designer is said to be desperate to appear on the main page of the American publication and can't understand why the reality TV star beat her to it.
The annual Met Ball is known as the Oscars of the fashion calendar, with Victoria choosing to spend the evening talking to other designers and wooing Anna in an attempt to grow her brand.
"Kim had asked for a meeting with Victoria's people on the Sunday before the Mat Ball to discuss honeymoon outfits and working together in the future with the VB brand, but Posh's people made an excuse," the source claimed.
Anna was widely criticised for placing Kim and Kanye on the cover of Vogue, but has stuck by her decision. However, it seems they aren't best friends just yet as the editor is said to have turned down an invitation to the power couple's upcoming wedding.
They are due to tie the knot on May 24, with new claims the nuptials won't take place in Paris as was initially thought. Entertainment Tonight reports guests will enjoy a dinner in the French capital on May 23 and then be flown by private jet to Florence, Italy, which is where the couple will exchange vows.

Legislation Authored by Assemblyman Cusick and Senator Lanza Aids the Disabled Community
Disabled Advocates State-Wide in Support of the Legislation
Assemblyman Michael Cusick (D-Mid Island) and Senator Andrew Lanza (R- Richmond) announced today a bill they authored (A.4989/S.4585) has been signed into law by the Governor (Chapter 194). The bill would reauthorize the current law that requires manufacturers of printed instructional materials for college students to provide electronic formats of printed instructional material to be available for purchase for students with disabilities.
Under the provisions of the bill, electronic versions of the printed instructional materials would be required to maintain the structural integrity of its printed versions, be compatible with commonly used Braille translation and speech synthesis software, include corrections and revisions as necessary, and be available at a cost that is comparable to the printed version.
Cusick, a member of the Assembly Higher Education committee as well as Past Chair of the New York State Task Force on People with Disabilities introduced the bill to ensure that students with disabilities have full access to instructional materials in suitable alternate formats for use in colleges in New York State. The legislation extends current law provisions for an additional three years.
"I'd like to thank Assemblyman Cusick for his leadership on this important bill that will ensure residents with disabilities continue to have full access to the educational materials they need in order to pursue their college dreams in New York State," said Senator Lanza.
"This bill will greatly aid people with disabilities by providing them with necessary instructional materials and I am pleased this legislation has been signed into law by the Governor. Disabled Advocates state-wide are in support of the bill," said Assemblyman Cusick.

There may well be a paparazzi streak in all of us, and Deer Valley Resort wants to get that urge satisfied as soon as possible.
Some of U.S. ski racing's most famous blasts-from-the-past and a host of actors and activists will go head-to-head Dec. 4-5 in the Deer Valley Celebrity Skifest. Expected to take part are U.S. Olympic alpine racing standouts Steve and Phil Mahre, Tommy Moe, and Heidi Voelker. Among the television, radio and print celebrities signed up to take on the gates are Virginia Madsen, Bobby Kennedy, Rob Morrow, Joey Pantoliano, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
The fundraising event features two giant slalom races, but primarily aims to bring in cash for Waterkeeper Alliance, a nonprofit watchdog group that seeks to protect water quality.
On-the-course spectators can get a live view of the competition at 1 p.m. on Birdseye each day. They then can relive the excitement on CBS, which will broadcast the races after the NFL football games Sunday (Dec. 5).
That weekend also marks the 30th anniversary of the resort in Park City, Utah. Owners Edgar and Paula Stern opened Deer Valley in 1981 and touted it as the first "luxury" ski area in the United States. Through the years, the terrain has grown to 100 runs served by 21 chairlifts. The mountain has hosted six World Cup freestyle events, the 2002 Olympic freestyle competition, and the 2003 FIS Freestyle World Championships.

The last time we saw Marcy's bird feeder there was a cute black-capped chickadee on it.
I thought her feeder was squirrel proof because it hangs from a slender hook far from the pole, but those barriers aren't a problem for this acrobat.
Look how this squirrel uses his back feet! Look at his thumbs!
…At least he isn't a bear. 😉

For sure about not being a bear! Bears have a tendency (at least at my house) to remove the whole feeder for ease of eating. The feeder usually suffers from this abuse.
The bear-destroyed feeder that really upset me was a new feeder that was squirrel-proof = expensive. Hubby dug a hole and cemented a pole in place. This feeder was going to last many years.
Needless to say, it only lasted a few months until a bear snapped the pole and destroyed the feeder. He had dragged the feeder several feet away for his feast. 🙁

Ahh — these little mammals can get just about anywhere with their lithe bodies. Fun to watch their acrobatics. — barbara

Israel has a reputation for a lot of things, good and bad, but sadly the cuisine is not one of them. While tourists around the globe faithfully trot to Paris for the pain au chocolat, Hong Kong for the shrimp dumplings and Mexico City for the pork tacos, few make a food-related pilgrimage to Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. But that should change. While tensions persist, life goes on for Israelis — and their kitchens are making remarkable contributions to global cuisine.
Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are 45 minutes apart, but feel like completely different worlds. Tel Aviv is a cosmopolitan, largely secular beach town with world-class contemporary cuisine. Jerusalem is far more traditional and overtly religious; almost all restaurants are certified kosher, which dictates both menu and opening hours. It's not unusual in Jerusalem to eat mixed grill while sitting next to a civilian who has an M16 slung over his shoulder. Tel Aviv is more casual. Waiters routinely deliver drinks with one thumb stuck in the glass, and I once saw a man get out of his car to pee behind a tree at an intersection while an increasingly long line of drivers leaned on the horn. In both places, wild thyme grows in the cracks of sidewalks.
In a renowned world of contrasts, there's an unexpected playfulness to both drinking and dining in Tel Aviv. Vendors sell piles of candy and pyramids of spices on almost every corner. In the main markets, after the day keepers have folded up their fish and fruits, younger Israelis move in to unpack tables and stools. One very late night, we headed to the near-abandoned market in Jaffa (part of the Tel Aviv municipality) to a stall that serves as an after-hours cocktail bar. With a network of old Persian rugs under our feet, we were offered the local liquor, licorice arak, flavoured with everything from honey, lemon, coffee, strawberries, oranges and even bubblegum. At the 5th of May bar in the old Jerusalem shuk, where they serve gummy bears instead of nuts, we discovered the delicious local version of the pina colada: Arak, mint, lime and simple syrup blended with ice.
The food on the streets of both cities is terrific. Perfectly browned, tender chicken schnitzel is ubiquitous, often wedged into a bun, and sometimes served alongside soft and buttery mashed potatoes. The shawarma — most often turkey — is shaved onto fresh pita or delectably spongy laffa bread, and then topped with a variety of fresh accoutrements, including pickled red cabbage, shredded carrot salad and whole hot peppers. If you go to Hakosem, the best bet in Tel Aviv, while you wait in line you'll be handed a hot falafel ball, fresh from the grease and accompanied by an avuncular smile.
The hummus, by the way, is a dream; it's nothing like the thin, cold variety most of us are accustomed to. At Abu Hassan Ali Karavan in Jaffa, a small, no-frills restaurant that always has a lineup, the service is brisk and loud and the choices are minimal. The standard order is a cold can of Coke, a tall stack of fresh pita, pickled vegetables, and a small plate of fresh white onion wedges that are dipped into warm, thick, olive-oil drizzled hummus. At Pinati in Jerusalem, the hummus is topped with a pile of spiced ground beef, and big dishes of savoury and lemony kubbeh soup are filled with large, doughy, meat-filled dumplings. Hummus in Israel is typically a midday meal, and it lines the stomach for the rest of the day.
Fine dining is widely available, especially in Tel Aviv, and most Israelis can name off the local celebrity chefs and their houses of worship: Herbert Samuel, Orna & Ella, Yoezer Wine Bar and the Coffee Bar-related network of chic, contemporary venues. The main thoroughfares of Neve Tzedek, Rothchild and Nahalat Binyamin in Tel Aviv are littered with both palm trees and attractively bronzed people sitting in stylish cafés. The women are wonderfully fleshy, a testament to both the primacy of eating and a seize-the-day mentality that surely includes dessert.
Wine bars, in particular, have made considerable inroads; they serve thick steaks, soft and savoury polenta, grilled seafood and full-bodied, mid-priced Israeli wines. On my first night in Tel Aviv, we took a gamble on a little place simply called "Wine Bar." We pulled stools up to the open kitchen bar, watched the chef assemble shrimp ceviche, and proceeded to have one of the best meals I've had in years: Spicy calamari with tehina; plump lamb dumplings tossed in butter, Parmesan and fresh mint; and a lighter interpretation of a delicious Arab dessert, kanafe, a very sweet and gooey honey-coated cheese pie that my boyfriend refers to as "the poutine of desserts."
"Ethnic food" has made minimal inroads in Israel despite the fact that it's a country of immigrants. You can find Japanese, Italian, Thai and Mexican far more easily in Tel Aviv than elsewhere in the country. Jerusalem has one noteworthy Chinese restaurant, Mandarin, which has worked up the nerve to serve shellfish, but not pork.
Digging a little deeper, wandering around the bus station in Tel Aviv — a mid-'80s nightmare of half-abandoned concrete — and the surrounding neighbourhood, we came across a network of bars and restaurants and pop-up markets occupied almost exclusively by Filipino and African guest workers, as well as some Ethiopian Jews. We walked into one tiny restaurant — which we ultimately determined was Eritrean by studying the satellite TV station — and tried to smile our way around the clear suspicion we aroused. We ordered beer and food — an unidentifiable meat dish in a pleasantly spiced sauce with a side of thick, sour injera.
Among the many things I took away from Israel — the image of the faithful praying en masse in front of the Western Wall on a Friday afternoon, the late nights smoking nargila and drinking bottles of Gold Star beer while staring at the ocean, the happiness of elbowing my way through the crowds in the Marzipan bakery in Jerusalem for warm, sticky rugelach — I also came back with a recipe for Bazooka Joe arak and a permanent aversion to supermarket hummus. If I am lucky, I will return to Israel again and again. To say that I developed a taste for the country would be an understatement almost as tremendous as the food.
Getting there
Air Canada and El Al offer regular service from Toronto to Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv. (Jerusalem is a 45-minute drive.) A number of major European carriers, including Air France, also offer service, so why not throw in a stopover to Paris?
Food & Drink
In Jaffa-Tel Aviv, try Hakosem (1 Shlomo Hamelech) for heavenly shawarma and falafel, Wine Bar (36 Nahalat Benyamin) for an elegant dinner and Abu Hassan Ali Karavan (1 Hadolphin Street) for thick, warm hummus. And in Jerusalem, make sure you stop in at Pinati (13 King George Street) for late morning kubbeh soup, and the 5th of May bar (56 Etz Haim Street) for late night snacks, shots of arak and excellent specialty cocktails.
The elegant David Intercontinental (12 Kaufman Street) in Tel Aviv is ideally situated on the beach, adjacent to the Carmel Market and Neve Tzedek neighbourhood, which is full of charming boutiques, ice creameries and bars. The top-floor executive lounge features comfy couches, an all-day buffet of Mediterranean foods and cocktails to make every hour happy. The Dan Panorama Jerusalem (S 39 Keren Hayesod Street) is also a fine option, and a favourite with tour groups. The staff is warm, and the hotel is well located to explore both the Old City and the newer downtown, as well.
Sarah Treleaven was a guest of David Intercontinental, the Dan Panorama Jerusalem and the Moevenpick Ramallah.

Gasoline prices should continue dropping this week as a shaky economy holds the price of oil below $90 a barrel, a spokeswoman for AAA Auto Club South said this morning.
Crude oil prices settled Friday at $85.38 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange — $1.50 less than the week before — attributed to sagging consumer confidence. A Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan report showed consumer sentiment fell to 54.9 from 63.7 from July.
"Economic growth is not only slow in the U.S. but in Europe as well and is expected to keep oil prices below $90 a barrel throughout the remainder of the month," said Jessica Brady, auto club spokeswoman.
"Some retailers are slow to drop prices at the pump since the market is so volatile at this time," Brady said. "However, consumers should start to see retail gas prices fall even further this week as a result of crude oil continuing to trade below $90 a barrel."
The national average price of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.59 per gallon, a 7-cent decrease from last week. Georgia's average price of $3.54 fell 11 cents but remains almost a dollar more than the per-gallon price last August, when it stood at $2.632.

After a lengthy meeting with his national security team today, President Bush said he was reconsidering whether Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters held at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, should be protected under the Third Geneva Convention. But he quickly added that they were ''killers'' who would not be granted the status of prisoners of war.
Secretary of State Colin L. Powell had asked the president to reconsider a decision he made on Jan. 18 that the Geneva Convention would not apply to the captives.
Secretary Powell agrees with the president's view that the captives should not be classified as prisoners of war, but he has sought to have the Bush administration affirm that the international law of war does govern the United States in its treatment of the captives.
His unusual request to reverse the decision, which was made while Secretary Powell was out of the country, exposed a clear split within the administration. Officials said that it was not resolved at this morning's meeting of the National Security Council, but that Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, reflecting the concerns of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, began moving to support Secretary Powell's view.
Military officials have expressed concern that by denying the captives the protections of the Geneva Convention, the United States is setting a precedent that could put future American battlefield captives at risk.Continue reading the main story
Secretary Powell's call for a review of the policy regarding the captives came after European leaders bluntly criticized the American decision.
The administration has contended that the captives are terrorists, not conventional soldiers in a conventional war, and that they are therefore not deserving of the protections of the Geneva rules. Under those rules, prisoners can refuse to answer most questions during interrogation and must be repatriated when hostilities cease. The administration considers the captives ''unlawful combatants'' and wants the freedom to question and hold those it suspects of complicity in terrorist actions.
Mr. Bush said today that the United States was adhering to the ''spirit of the Geneva Convention.''
Secretary Powell wants the administration to adhere officially to the Convention. Under its terms, if a captive's status is in doubt, it must be determined by a screening panel. Even if the Geneva rules were applied, the captives could still be determined to be ''unlawful combatants.'' Prisoners of war have more privileges and rights than unlawful combatants under the Convention, including the right to refuse interrogation.
The president's initial decision about the captives was apparently made on advice from Attorney General John Ashcroft who, a senior administration official said today, ''didn't think about the world reaction.'' Mr. Ashcroft has held to his position, and appears to be supported by Vice President Dick Cheney. It is unclear what advice Mr. Bush received from Condoleezza Rice, the national security adviser.
Mr. Bush attempted to dismiss the issue today as a small legal distinction. ''I will listen to all the legalisms and announce my decision when I make it,'' he said.
But several governments are now seeking the return of their citizens who are being held at Guantánamo Bay. Mr. Bush said today that he would ''consider'' such requests, but administration officials made it clear that none of the captives were leaving Cuba soon.
Saudi Arabia's interior minister said today that the United States was holding ''more than 100'' Saudi citizens at Guantánamo Bay. American officials have not publicly confirmed the identities of the prisoners or their nationalities, on the grounds that their identities could signal to the enemy what information could be gleaned from interrogating them. But a senior administration official said tonight that the number given by the Saudis ''sounds too high.''
Citizens of at least 25 countries make up the population of 158 captives at the prison compound. The countries include Britain, Australia, France, Belgium, Sweden, Algeria, Yemen, Afghanistan and Pakistan, according to ministers from those countries.
The Saudi interior minister, Prince Nayef, said his government did not know the charges against its citizens, only that they had been arrested in Afghanistan.
''The issue of prisoners is important to us, and we ask that they be handed over to us so we can interrogate them, since they fall under the kingdom's regulations,'' he said.
At the State Department, the Pentagon and the White House, officials acknowledged that discussions about whether to apply the Geneva Convention were ongoing -- a rare acknowledgment of a rare dispute within the administration over the conduct of the war. But they all agreed that the captives would not be designated as prisoners of war and that they were being treated humanely.
Answering questions in the Rose Garden this afternoon, Mr. Bush was emphatic that he had made the right decision in refusing to call the fighters ''prisoners of war.'' But his tone suggested that he was uncertain whether the decision he made to deal with the prisoners outside the Geneva Convention was correct. Twice Mr. Bush called the fighters ''prisoners,'' then stopped himself and used the word ''detainees.''
His aides say that he was annoyed by the leak of a memorandum written by the White House counsel, Alberto Gonzales, calling on several cabinet officials to respond to Secretary Powell's proposals. Mr. Gonzales, who was a longtime aide of Mr. Bush's in Texas, concluded that the captives were not covered under the Geneva Convention. But the State Department general counsel came to the opposite conclusion.
Critics contend that the United States is fudging the definition of war to suit its political purposes. ''The United States government cannot choose to wage war in Afghanistan with guns, bombs and soldiers, and then assert the laws of war do not apply,'' said Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch.
Mr. Bush seemed to be setting the stage today to revise his earlier decision by dwelling on the issue that his aides agree on. ''We're in total agreement on how these prisoners -- or detainees, excuse me -- ought to be treated,'' Mr. Bush said. ''And they'll be treated well.''Continue reading the main story

Choruses, band receive top marks for performance
Spring is in the air at Lipscomb Academy. And, so are the sounds of melodious voices and instruments that are among the best in the region.
Lipscomb Academy's choruses and band programs recently received top grades for performance and sight-reading at regional and state adjudication festivals.
For the first time in school history, the high school concert band received a "superior" designation from all three performance judges and in sight-reading in the MTSBOA Concert Performance Assessment held at Middle Tennessee State University in March. The band was graded based on performing several works as well as a sight-reading performance. This qualified the concert band to participate in the state adjudication festival in April for the first time in program history. At the TMEA State Concert Festival, bands are not graded but receive feedback on their performances and have a distinguished professional provide a brief clinic.
The middle school concert band also received a "superior" grade in sight-reading at their regional adjudication. Both bands are led by Band Director Noel Hicks.
"As we grow and develop our program, it is critical that we receive feedback from impartial and qualified judges," said Hicks. "This year proved to be an indicator that we are on the right track. It was an amazing feeling for me to see the joy on those students' faces when I walked out with the trophies. They have stayed the course and worked incredibly hard. That success not only gave them a much-deserved sense of accomplishment, but it also helps build momentum throughout our entire band program."
Hicks has built the program into one of the best concert bands in the area.
"We are proud of the students and this superior accomplishment," said Robert King, director of the fine arts program at Lipscomb Academy and director of the high school chorus program. "It is a blessing to have a man of Mr. Hicks' character and ability to lead our program, which he continues to strengthen every year. This has been a great year for the program."
The choral program also received top marks.
The seventh and eighth grade chorus, directed by Elizabeth Harrell, received superior scores with an 11.8 on a 12-point scale. They received a superior score from the three performance judges and a superior in sight-reading.
"I believe that the 7th-8th chorus truly earned their high score," said Harrell. "They have been a small but mighty group this year, and I could not be more proud of them. They have really turned into not only good singers, but good musicians."
Earlier this semester the high school concert chorus and the freshman chorus received superior ratings in both performance and sight-reading at the Middle Tennessee Vocal Association adjudication festival, which qualified them for the state festival in April. At the American Choral Directors Association Tennessee State Choral Festival, 74 choirs performed over four days in three cities. The freshman chorus scored an 11.16 on a 12-point scale, and ranked 11th among all choirs. The concert chorus received an 11.7, one of only two choirs to receive an A+, and were the highest rated choir in the state. (Listen to one of the adjudication festival pieces.)
"Objective critique is the key to improvement," said King. "It is critical to our professional development and to the benefit of our program. It's good to get out of our four walls and see how others view our ability and to learn from others. This is how we become the best we can be every year."

Passwords You Should Change In The Wake of the Heartbleed Virus
If you haven't heard of the Heartbleed virus, it's infected the open security code used by many popular web sites. Here's some passwords you probably should change just to be safe.
There isn't much you can do to protect yourself from the latest Internet threat called "Heartbleed."
Security experts say until websites take steps to secure their communications, consumers' data will be exposed to hackers. The "Heartbleed" bug is in widely used web encryption technology known as OpenSSL and it affects software on servers that host websites. Some of the world's biggest websites could be affected by "Heartbleed" because OpenSSL is used on about two-thirds of all web servers.
To make things even scarier, the bug has gone unnoticed for about two years. When asked to grade the severity of the bug, one expert said on a scale of one to eleven, it's about an eleven. Yikes.
The tech site Mashable has released a list of sites that if you're on them, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to change your passwords for. The list includes popular social sites like Facebook and OKCupid, as well as many business sites as well.
Better safe than sorry may be the best strategy.

Money doesn't grow on trees but a healthy chunk of hard cash can help develop a forest.
Center Parcs, due to open its fifth village, Woburn Forest, soon, has donated £85,000 towards The Forest of Marston Vale's planting project.
The funds have paid for hundreds of native trees to be planted at Top Farm to the south of Lidlington Village.
Top Farm plantation project is managed by The Forest of Marston Vale on 30 acres of land, a few miles from the new Center Parcs Village.
The land is being developed to attract wildlife and for local people to enjoy. The project is costing £250,000 and started last year.
James Russell, woodland development manager for The Forest of Marston Vale said: "Without the help and support of Center Parcs, this project wouldn't have been possible. It's not just about the money though, it has been great to have a brand like Center Parcs supporting a very local project as this has encouraged further financial support from other sources."
Milton Keynes company, Land Structure Limited, has started planting 62,000 native trees and shrubs at Woburn Forest. Almost 100,000 trees and shrubs will have been planted by the end of 2014.

Busy Penalty Day in NASCAR
On Tuesday's edition of NASCAR RaceHub on SPEED, it was reported that they did not know the extent of the penalties that would be levied against Penske Racing after their rear-end housings were confiscated prior to the NRA 500. However, they did report that the penalties would be "severe."
They were not wrong.
On Wednesday, NASCAR dropped the hammer on both of Penske Racing's Fords. Both the No. 2 and No. 22 teams were docked 25 driver's and 25 owners' points each. In addition, both teams' crew chiefs (Paul Wolfe and Todd Gordon) have been fined $100,000 each. Finally, the crew chiefs, car chiefs (Jerry Kelley and Raymond Fox) and head engineers (Brian Wilson and Samuel Stanley), in addition to Travis Geisler, who serves as a team manager for both teams, have been suspended for six weeks. Finally, all seven team members will be placed on probation until the end of the year. For the sake of this penal action, NASCAR does not count the Sprint All-Star Race as a race since no points are awarded. As a result, the suspension is actually seven weeks.
In their release, NASCAR stated that both teams violated multiple sections of the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Rule Book. The sections cited were Section 12-1 (Actions Detrimental to Stock Car Racing), 12-4J (Determination by a NASCAR official that parts and/or equipment do not conform to NASCAR rules), and 20-12. Section 20-12 states, "All suspension systems and components must be approved by NASCAR. Prior to being used in competition, all suspension systems and components must be submitted, in a completed form/assembly, to the office of the NASCAR Competition Administrator for consideration of approval and approved by NASCAR. Each such part may thereafter be used until NASCAR determines that such part is no longer eligible. All suspension fasteners and mounting hardware must be made of solid magnetic steel. All front end and rear end suspension mounts with mounting hardware assembled must have single round mounting holes that are the correct size for the fastener being used. All front end and rear end suspension mounts and mounting hardware must not allow movement or realignment of any suspension component beyond normal rotation or suspension travel."
Penske Racing announced via their Facebook page that they will appeal the ruling using the appropriate process. As a result, the seven suspended crewmembers will be at the track this weekend in Kansas.
If the penalty is upheld after the appeal, Keselowski will drop from second, nine points behind Jimmie Johnson to fourth, 34 points back.
Truex Docked Points for Measurement Violation
At the same time that NASCAR dropped the hammer on Penske Racing, they also announced penalties against the No. 56 team. After Saturday night's NRA 500, Martin Truex, Jr.'s No. 56 measured too low in the front end in post-race inspection.
As a result, NASCAR has docked the No. 56 team six driver points and six owner points. Crew chief Chad Johnston has been fined $25,000 and will be placed on probation for the next six points races.
In their explanation, NASCAR cited that the team violated a couple of sections of the aforementioned rulebook. Those were Sections 12-1, 12-4J and 20-12.8.1B (Failing to meet the minimum height requirement during post-race inspection).
Following the announcement, Michael Waltrip Racing released a statement.
"Michael Waltrip Racing is sensitive to working within the guidelines of NASCAR policy. This infraction clearly occurred as a result of a malfunction caused by race conditions. Therefore, we will not appeal. We thank NASCAR for providing a fair and equitable platform for all of its competitors and respect its decisions."
Prior to the penalty, Truex was in a three-way tie for 16th in points with Ryan Newman and Marcos Ambrose, 37 points out of tenth. As a result of the penalty, Truex drops to 19th, 43 points out of tenth.
Hornaday Penalized for Intentional Contact with Darrell Wallace, Jr.
Also on Wednesday, NASCAR announced penalties against Camping World Truck Series driver Ron Hornaday, Jr. However, unlike those penalties levied against Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano and Martin Truex, Jr., this penalty came as a result of on-track behavior.
Late in Sunday's North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at the Rock presented by Cheerwine, Hornaday appeared unhappy with the way that Wallace was racing him. After an unrelated caution flew late in the race, Hornaday intended to give Wallace a message. The result was that Wallace was turned into the Turn 3 wall and had to drop out of the race. At the time, Hornaday was sent to the end of the line for the green-white-checker restart. He would eventually finish 15th. After the race, Hornaday admitted that it was a stupid move.
That was not enough to satisfy NASCAR.
NASCAR dropped the hammer on Hornaday, fining him $25,000 and docking him 25 driver points. Hornaday was also placed on probation until June 12, which covers the next four races. In their explanation, NASCAR stated that Hornaday violated only Section 12-1 (Actions Detrimental to Stock Car Racing) of the 2013 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Rule Book.
After Hornaday's 15th-place finish on Sunday, he was fourth in points, 30 points behind Johnny Sauter. The penalty drops Hornaday back to 13th in the standings, 55 points behind.
NTS Motorsports announced on their Facebook page that they support NASCAR's ruling and penalties. They also stated that they will not appeal Hornaday's penalties.
Goodyear Hosts Tire Test in Daytona
On Wednesday, Goodyear wrapped up a two-day tire test at Daytona International Speedway. Drivers from all three manufacturers participated in single-car and multi-car runs in order to figure out the right tire package for July 6th's Coke Zero 400.

Amir Khan has confirmed his split from world-renowned trainer Freddie Roach.
There have been rumblings the Bolton boxer and Roach would go their separate ways after the former suffered a stunning fourth-round knockout loss to Danny Garcia for the WBC and WBA light-welterweight titles in July.
And Khan wrote on his Twitter account: "Officially iv left freddie roach. Just spoke to his and had a good professional chat and maybe in the future we work together. Freddie understood why I'm looking at other trainers and wished me all the best for the future. Who do. My followers think I should go with?"
Defeat against Garcia was Khan's second consecutive loss.
He was beaten via a split decision in December last year against Lamont Peterson, who later failed a drugs test which forced the postponement of a scheduled re-match.
Khan said in the aftermath of his defeat to Garcia that he was keen to remain loyal to Roach, who took charge of the 25-year-old after his knockout loss to Breidis Prescott in September 2008 and led him to two world titles in the 140lb division.
However, Khan wanted guarantees Roach - who also looks after Manny Pacquiao - would be fully focused on the Brit for the duration of pre-fight camps.
Khan was keen to name his new trainer immediately after the announcement, but was persuaded otherwise.
He said: "Rt this I'm going to announce my new trainer in 10 minutes....
"I'm sorry @saj23x just give me so much s***. He said I have to announce it tomorrow morning."

Typhoon Haiyan: Locals rush to help victims
FALLS CHURCH, Va. (WJLA) - The images and information coming out of the Southern region of the Philippines is difficult to accept for local residents like Eve Gerrnale. She's from the city of Tacloban, which is directly in the path of the Typhoon Haiyan.
"I communicated through Facebook," said Gerrnale. "We will worry about the property later. It's the lives. I just hope everyone is OK."
Local Filipino-Americans are already in disaster relief mode, just weeks after a devastating 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck that nation, leaving more than{ }350,000 people homeless.
"It's devastating... my countrymen are being devastated by the typhoon," says Marissa Alisuag, a Filipino American. "They're actually sending money to the Philippines."{ }
The nation gets about 20 typhoons a year, but Typhoon Haiyan is the strongest to come through in decades.{ }
Ambassador Jose L. Cuisia, Jr., learned Friday that the unofficial death count had risen from 33 to 50, but he added that number is actually a good sign that efforts to protect citizens are working.
"The preparations, I think, have paid off, " he says. "Because there could have been more deaths. In the last typhoon that occurred last year in 2012, in December 2012, over one thousand people perished."{ }
Allen Chan, who was born in the Philippines and grew up in Northern Virginia, has watched the terrible images of the storm on the news. His father's hometown, where he still has relatives, is one of the areas hardest hit.
"Literally homes that they've built by hand from scraps that they found on the street," Chan says.
The reports he's heard indicate the town is destroyed.
"From what I do know it probably doesn't look good."{ }
The Asia-American Initiative has been directly working with the Red Cross. Seven tons of medicine and medical supplies have already been flown over. Four rescue boats in Virginia Beach are also being shipped.
Albert Santoli had collected several tons of medicine to help victims of the earthquake, but now those supplies will also help storm victims.{ }
"It would take care of about 30,000 people for God willing a month," Santoli says. "And if you're talking about two or three million, it's a drop in the bucket. A lot more is needed."{ }
"I'm sad because no one should suffer from calamities like typhoon," Alisaug says.{ }
Locals rush to help typhoon victims
A benefit concert will be held at 8 p.m. Friday night at Immanuel Church-on-the-Hill in Alexandria. It will be hosted by local Philippine nurses. Originally organized to help earthquake stricken families, now the urgency is focused on the latest victim's of this most recent disaster. Proceeds will go to the Red Cross.
Besides{ }the concert, many others in the D.C. area are helping or getting ready to.
"Right now we're in the midst of assembling a team," says Iraq war veteran Matt Pelak.
Pelak is with the non-profit Team Rubicon. It uses the skills veterans learned in the military to help when disasters hit.
"A lot of grunt work that folks in the military are sort of good at, getting these things done, solving problems," he says.
The D.C. area has a large Filipino-American population, and Allen says the storm is devastating for many.
"It's home, so there's always that connection," he says.

Desktop Effects used to work now they don't!
k, I've been running Karmic for awhile now, and I had all my desktop effects and eye candy set up perfectly, and then i made the mistake of thinking I knew things about linux.... haha
my flash was running slow, and i was attempting various fixes i found online, including mussing in the xorg.conf. well i somehow managed to disable my laptop's ability to run any sort of eye candy, I know it's capable since i've done it before.
i have the standard Intel integrated graphics card that a million other people have, yadda yadda. the main problem(i believe) is getting to where i can select "Normal" under Visual Effects, but when i try all I get is the lovely "Desktop effects could not be enabled" message. hoorah. any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
You should probably post your xorg.conf since you edited it.
well, when I tried to edit the xorg.conf, it was blank, so i tried adding what i needed and it messed stuff up, so deleted the changes i made, so now, as far as I can tell, I still have a blank xorg.conf
Delete your xorg.conf completely, X may just autodetect everything and it should be fine, otherwise run this:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
hmm...I'm not entirely sure how to delete the xorg.conf haha, any help that would be appreciated.
and as far as reconfiguring it, that was one of the first things i tried, but i did it again just now, for measure, and still get the fun little "Desktop effects could not be enabled." message
The new release of X (which comes with Karmic) no longer requires an xorg.conf. Integrated Intel cards should be autoconfigured (I have one on my laptop, which also runs Karmic).
My advice to you is to delete xorg.conf with
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
I hope I helped, good luck!
I think the problem is with with the intel driver. I have a link for jaunty, but exactly the same instructions work for karmic. Here's the link:
NB: If you dont know how to configure your firewall, just skip the keyserver step. You will get a security warning, but go ahead and say yes to install the package.
awesome thank you all, sorry I've been a bit out of the loop but I shall try this today!

Stephane Wrembel and His Band Announce 2013 Spring Tour Dates
2012 was a huge year for Stephane Wrembel. The guitarist released his fourth album, Origins, to critical acclaim; performed his original song "Bistro Fada" (the theme to Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris) at the Academy Awards; made studio visits to NPR Weekend Edition BBC Radio, WNYC and others; toured across the U.S. and throughout Europe; and helped Gentleman Shaver win a Clio Award for "Best Original Song Used in A Commercial".
Raised in Fontainebleau, France -- the birthplace of Impressionism and the home of famed gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt -- Wrembel was shaped by the fertile creative landscape of the area from his very early years. He began with classical piano at age 4 before exploring musical genres such as rock, Django, jazz, country, blues, Indian raga, West African, Middle Eastern and others - embracing the many cultures and musical styles he discovered along the way. His arsenal of influences result in a sound unique to Wrembel; a music without genre.
It's Wrembel's unbounded Impressionist musical style and state-of-mind that captured the attention of director Woody Allen, who most recently recruited him to score the theme for his smash film Midnight in Paris (Wrembel also composed music for Allen's 2008 Golden Globe winning film Vicky Christina Barcelona). Wrembel's extraordinary ability to capture, in music, the soul of an image, is invaluable in film scoring. Being able to trigger images - whether universal or personal - in the listener's mind is also a huge part of Wrembel's own musical vision. The element of mystery and freedom his music imparts makes it as impossible to ignore as it is to pin down. Whether rocking a huge festival stage or filling up every breath of air in an intimate club - the experience of seeing Stephane Wrembel and His Band perform live is truly unforgettable.
Upcoming tour dates for Stephane Wrembel include:
Wednesday, February 13 Merrimans' Playhouse South Bend IN

(AP) - U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman says he'll push to rescind $1 billion in U.S. funding for Iraqi reconstruction -- responding to a report that Iraq could finish the year with as much as a $79 billion cumulative budget surplus.
Coleman, R-Minn., says he'll introduce legislation to rescind $1 billion that Congress had appropriated in an emergency supplemental war bill.
He says that Iraq has the money to pay for its own reconstruction, adding, "the United States should not be an ATM for the Iraqi government."
This week, the U.S. General Accounting Office predicted Iraq could finish the year with the surplus due to the influx of oil revenues.
