36th Anniversary of al-Fateh Revolution: Freedom Declaration and Authority of the People
According to JANA, rejoicing the 36th Anniversary of al-Fateh Revolution, the voice of Africa Broadcasting continues airing the broad symposium organized under the theme : Freedom Declaration .. and Authority of the People, live testimony of the falling of toppled regime and the establishment of people's authority on the dawn of al-Fateh 1969, with the participation of a big number of Libyan people activists who lived with the convention of people's congresses since the early days of Great al-Fateh Revolution and those who took part in these congresses to be the final result of direct democracy.
At the beginning of the third episode, Salem Wali, one of the Leader's comrades affirmed in his discourse that the people's congresses were an event that escorted the Revolution since its outbreak in 1969, stressing that the Great al-Fateh Revolution was a popular revolution and will continue popular and that what has been achieved by al-Fateh Revolution was extraordinary and cannot be ignored or neglected.
In his interjection brother, Musbah al-Ghwail, one of the Leader's comrades and one of the members of the first cell, conveyed his congratulation to the leader of revolution and said that he was very happy and pleased when he heard the first Statement on Great al-Fateh and I recognized the voice of the student Muammar Al-Gathafi who was giving us speeches and instigating us to rescue Libya from the reactionary regime and the foreign military bases that chained our true freedom. He stressed that the Revolution was popular from its start with deep rooted and unique objectives and that its leader has a sharp and creative thoughts that lighted the path of humanity to its salvation from all forms of oppression and exploitation.

[Newport Beach Film Fest] An Encapsulated Diary Digesting the Decade-Old Newport Beach Film Festival
Reeling In the Years
A diary digesting the decade-old Newport Beach Film Festival—encapsulated!
Ten years. My, how time flies. I remember when the Newport Beach Film Festival (NBFF) was a pup bouncing on my knee, gnawing on a teething ring, vomiting warm breast milk down my back after I'd turned it to my shoulder to burp it. Now it's one of the most highly anticipated cultural events going.
That's amazing when you consider it rose from the ashes of the Newport Beach International Film Festival, which went belly-up in 1999 after a four-year run, leaving unpaid vendors, pissed-off volunteers and much ill will in its wake. But a group of local educators, business leaders and movie buffs believed a seaside festival—à la Cannes—was viable in Hollywood's back yard.
Led by founders Gregg Schwenk, an investment banker and lifelong Newport Beach resident, and San Diego marketing man Todd Quartararo, a new entity was created, "international" was dropped from the name (but not the global programming), and a juried competition to honor film excellence was begun. A team of mostly volunteers, working out of donated offices across from John Wayne Airport, hit established festivals such as Sundance, Toronto and Palm Springs and introduced themselves to filmmakers, lobbying to get them to bring their movies here. It all clicked.
Like a hackneyed flashback scene, we dissolve back to the beginning to present this epic production at 10. Stop touching that, NBFF! Do you want to go blind?
Newport Beach super-agent/movie lover/Jerry Maguire inspiration Leigh Steinberg donated $50,000, the city chipped in $7,000, and the goal of raising $200,000 in start-up money was achieved. But NBFF needs $30,000 more for theater rentals because stingy Old Man Edwards (God rest his soul) will not donate his seats. The city picks up the tab, and the world premiere of a remastered print of Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard opens the festival on the ginormous, 40-foot-by-80-foot "Big Newport" screen. Standouts screening later in the eight-day run include the documentaries Americanos, which challenges the myth of a monolithic Hispanic culture, and Long Night's Journey Into Day, which focuses on South Africa Truth and Reconciliation Commission cases such as that of murdered exchange student Amy Biehl of Newport Beach. About 15,000 people show for 45 features and 100 shorts. NBFF breaks even.
Keeping with the opening-night tribute to and screening of George Roy Hill's 1973 Depression-era, con-man caper The Sting, antique cars drop celebrities off on the NBFF red carpet. Sally Kirkland, Eileen Brennan and Harold Gould are among Sting cast members who attend a swanky party Lucy and Leigh Steinberg host at the Newport Beach Marriott. More than 17,000 filmgoers attend over eight crazy days, but Marjoe Aguiling is off getting his eyes transplanted. The festival programmer and his team of volunteer "VCR jockeys" watched about 500 feature films and shorts before settling on 50 features and 100 shorts for audience consumption.
Like pink flamingos stuck into a Linda Isle front lawn, plopping John Waters, members of his 1981 Polyester cast and Odorama cards in tony Newport Beach proves the NBFF has a (Cecil B.) demented side. When the Weekly asks Waters if he has ever been to Orange County, he replies, "I don't think so, but I have a friend from Huntington Beach I was thrown out of college with. Isn't Huntington Beach near there? He was a surfer, and if you were into that, it seemed like the best place in the world to live. Actually, most of the surfers I've known are criminals." "An Evening of John Waters" at the Hard Rock Café is interrupted by a drunken heckler. It's the Weekly writer covering the event. Over nine days, 73 features and 110 shorts from 27 countries flash on NBFF screens. Attendance (19,500) falls 500 bodies short of the goal organizers set, but the event makes $125,000.

Opening NBFF is the West Coast premiere of Miranda, about a slippery con woman played by Christina Ricci, and my fondness for the film in my Big Newport seat evaporates quickly when the indie darling fails to show at the post-party. Fuck Miranda! Leif Garrett does not blow off the Hard Rock Café party after the tribute screening of Francis Ford Coppola's The Outsiders because the former teen heartthrob's band F8 are playing it. Greg MacGillivray, the Newport Beach native and co-founder of the Laguna Beach-based MacGillivray Freeman Films that produces large-format IMAX movies, is honored. More than 300 films from more than 45 countries screen over eight days, and NBFF breaks even.
The TV show The O.C., which debuted the previous August and is set in Newport Beach (though shot in LA), raises the festival's Q rating, especially in Hollywood. Parked in front of the historic Lido Theatre is a white ambulance with Ghostbusters logos taped to the doors, and standing in the long line winding up to the box office are three guys in jump suits with packs strapped to their backs and zapper guns in their hands. Heat 'em up! The occasion is a tribute to Laszlo Kovacs, the cinematographer for Ivan Reitman's 1984 slimy, sci-fi comedy being screened. He tells us what a pussy Bill Murray was when it came to getting slimed. At the closing-night awards ceremony, Steve Anderson wins Outstanding Achievement By a First-Time Filmmaker for his indie feature debut, The Big Empty. Attendance hits 25,500.
The festival sells 31,000 tickets in a week. After scouts see it at Toronto, a little-known LA drama oozing with racial tensions opens the festival, making its U.S. premiere on the Big Newport screen. Crash's producers Sandra Bullock and Don Cheadle, who also star in the picture, are no-shows at the post-party in the Bloomingdales courtyard at Fashion Island, where they are expected. However, writer/director Paul Haggis is not only there, but he's also two feet from my face when bright lights and a camera ambush us. His impromptu stage happens to be next to the free vodka line I'm standing in. Standouts among the 350 films include Layer Cake, The Breakup Artist and closer Mad Hot Ballroom. More than 31,000 filmgoers attend, as does hometown boy Will Ferrell, honorary chairman of the youth program.
Eleven months after the '05 NBFF closed, Crash won the Academy Award for Best Picture. It also split the nation's critics, who either love it or really, really hate it. But NBFF having hosted its premiere causes Hollywood to start calling Newport Beach about showing pictures there instead of the other way around. Opening things up is the West Coast premiere of Joshua Stern's Neverwas, which stars Aaron Eckhart, Ian McKellen, Brittany Murphy, Nick Nolte, William Hurt and Jessica Lange—none of whom darken NBFF's red carpet. Instead, we get TV producer Aaron Spelling's son Randy and Rod Stewart's son Sean. The Big Empty director Anderson returns with a very different film: the documentary Fuck. Over the 10-day run, 350 films from more than 40 countries are shown to 36,500 attendees. Fuckin' amazing.
Steinberg feels so cocky opening night that he boldly declares, "One day, this festival is going to be bigger than Sundance and Cannes!" Agents—always overselling. But the NBFF now operates with a budget of $300,000 to $400,000 in cash and $2 million in donations from sponsors hawking soda, vodka, coffee, food and hotel rooms. To tie in with the citywide John Wayne Centennial Celebration, several flicks are shown starring the screen legend and American icon who called Newport Beach home. Adam Sandler attends a screening of his newphew's short. Darth Vader and stormtroopers converge on the Lido, where a doc on Star Wars' fans is shown. The 400 films shown over 11 days draw 41,000 patrons, and the festival makes a whopping $12,000 profit.
Instead of catering to the Hollywood buzz saw for the opener, NBFF returns to its tiny indie roots with Craig Saavedra's Sherman's Way. And for the first time, it expands beyond city borders, screening Greg MacGillivray's Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk in 3-D at the Irvine Spectrum IMAX. The multi-award winner is Jeremy Podeswa's Fugitive Pieces, which is based on Anne Michaels' novel about a man haunted by childhood experiences during World War II. Composer Richard Sherman and Walt's nephew Roy Disney make appearances, and Gossip Girl Blake Lively wins breakout performance honors for Elvis and Annabelle. Attendance hits 42,000 over eight days, in which 360 films from 40 countries screen. The fest breaks even in a tough financial year.
The economy has spurred more free events during the April 23 to April 30 run at various locations. Opening will be Derick Martini's Lymelife, with Alec Baldwin, Jill Hennessy and Rory Culkin. A gala will follow in the Bloomingdales courtyard featuring a fashion show, chow, cocktails and a Cirque du Soleil performance. Among the 400 films from 45 countries set to screen over eight days are: Carlos Cuarón's Rudo y Cursi, which reteams Y Tu Mamá También's Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna; pride of San Clemente Rian Johnson's The Brothers Bloom, starring Rachel Weisz, Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo; and Marc Webb's (500) Days of Summer, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel.

Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†
me being crazy credit carrying source my mind is always running credit I view differently so looking at your portfolio I would notice your BB&T. yes the black citi would catch my eye at first, then I would be like that doesn't have rewards so either they hopefully are using a BT on it or they don't know.
amex, i think i wonder if they know they can ask for a 3x cli with a sp but otherwise not so impressed that someone has it because we know they are not quite so hard to get anymore.
best buy store I would think in my head they can't be terrible credit because they don't have the stupid mc i have... but they have also changed up the cards a bit so I now have the new card image in my head if I see it to know it's different
so back to BB&T, but only because im from the midwest and they were my primary bank before moving and had a good friend that was regional manager and dealt with their credit products a lot... they are not easy! but once in!!!
BTW you have overdraft line of credit with them OP?

Nothing would. The particular card a customer uses would be the least of my concerns with a job like that. If you want a card with "wow" then pick the ones that do it for you. Don't obsess over what others may or may not think.
My Zync has gotten more attention that any other cards I have (even the AMEX Plat). The CSP not that much
Well the Zync is kinda exclusive now; you can't apply for it
If we go by comments (rather than "prestige", scare quotes because IMO, anyone impressed by your credit card isn't worth impressing!) then my Cap One platinum, because it is personalized with a photo (a pet because I am just so totally out there and original). That just makes it look different from other credit cards.
Amex zync is charge card?

Create a website and iOS application to report human trafficking tips
Abstract: In an effort to improve the efficacy of human trafficking reporting and data transfer, we propose to create an automated mobile application and website, which will be directly integrated to local and national law enforcement agencies as well as victim service providers. With victimization reporting abilities in English, Spanish, French, Arabic, and Portuguese this application will facilitate precise and automated data collection and transfer, accountability, accurate incidence measures, and the ability to test the effectiveness of anti human trafficking interventions.
a. Project Motivation: Given today's current economic climate, there is an increasing importance placed on the cost effectiveness and efficacy of crime interventions. To that effect, this project proposes to create an automated victimization reporting mobile application and website to improve the accountability, accuracy, transferability, and cost efficiency of human trafficking tip reporting.
Currently, state and national organizations are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to staff and operate telephone based human trafficking tip lines. This costly method of tip reporting currently offers no means of accountability, no ability for secure data-sharing, and little to no empirically validated effect on increasing the number of arrests or convictions for human trafficking related crimes (see Polaris Project National Human Trafficking Tip Line). The rationale for our project is to automate this information gathering process through anonymous web-based and mobile application data collection tools. These products will collect data needed for law enforcement on human trafficking incidents, automate the data transfer to relevant law enforcement agencies, mechanize the victimization service feedback component, and allow for secure data sharing and follow up. In doing this, we expect to improve the efficiency of this process and facilitateincreased accountability of responding law enforcement agencies.
Human trafficking is a modern form of slavery, which involves the "recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of threat, use of force or other forms of coercion, for the purpose of exploitation" (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2013). The United States is known as one of the only industrialized countries that trafficks its own citizens, with between 300,000 to 600,000 victims estimated annually by victim service providers like the Polaris Project. Human trafficking most frequently takes the form of commercial sexual exploitation or forced labor against women and children. Despite increasing efforts to address the issue of human trafficking, little progress has been made. This crime is of great concern to legislators, law enforcement agencies, and citizens in Maryland and the greater DC metropolitan area because this area is a human trafficking hotspot in which many girls are trafficked to and through (Kyckelhahn, Beck, and Cohen, 2009).
Following the passage of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) in 2000, lobbyists, practitioners, academics, legislators, and law enforcement agencies have all clamored to evaluate and address the issue of human trafficking in the Unites States. One of the most notable attempts to combat human trafficking has been theincreasing use of the National Human Trafficking Hotline. According to the Polaris Project (2013), the hotline received approximately 1,500 calls per month in 2011. The annual calls more than tripled between 2008 and 2011 with 5,748 and 19,427 calls respectively. However, thus far this hotline has been costly and infrequently used for its intended purpose. The largest proportions of the calls they received were for unrelated matters (29%) and general information (25%). In fact, of the 19,427 callers in 2011, only 14% were reporting an actual tip, and 4% were in crisis(Polaris Project, 2013). We suggest that the alternative methods of reporting provided by our website and application will ultimately increase the number of victims identified and helped by law enforcement.
In addition to infrequent reporting of human trafficking tips, there is no method currently available for secure data transfer of human trafficking information to organizations working to combat human trafficking, nor is there follow up on actions taken by law enforcement agencies in response to a human trafficking tip, resulting in no accountability.
Follow-up and accountability is important because human trafficking arrests, prosecutions, and convictions are infrequent. According the Bureau of Justice Statistics fewer than 18% of human trafficking incidents reported by task forces lead to an arrest, and fewer than 5% lead to a conviction (Kyckelhahn, Beck, and Cohen, 2009). This information begins to question the utility of the phone based human trafficking tip line, since they may not have any effect in addressing the issue of human trafficking (Van der Laan, Smit, Busschers, and Aarten, 2011). In order to better allocate funds to address this heinous crime, we should efficiently and effectively collect tips through alternative methods, such as automated mobile applications and websites. By doing so we can continue collecting data on suspected incidents of human trafficking and share information on resources for human trafficking victims, but also improve accountability and research with data accessibility and follow up, without unnecessarily spending limited resources.
b. Project Description: The products created through this project include one website, one iOS mobile application, and one database for storing human trafficking tips. The website and mobile application will collect data on crime details, victim demographics, offender information, and miscellaneous material on human trafficking incidents. The website and mobile application will be marketed toward persons at high risk of encountering a victim of human trafficking or evidence of human trafficking, including but not limited to deep web users, commercial sex patrons, teens, and homeowners targeted by trafficked solicitation rings. These persons are unlikely to report incidence of human trafficking unless they have a safe and truly anonymous method of reporting, which is what we will create.
c. Innovation: This project is innovative because it creates agroundbreaking method of anonymous crime reporting, through a mobile iOS application and coordinated website. Automating this process with information provisions for respondents, law enforcement, and researchers facilitates a never-before-seen level of facility in information dissemination, and accountability in law enforcement response to human trafficking tips. Additionally, the website provides the first and only method of completely anonymous reporting, with unprecedented protections for witnesses of human trafficking. These tools have the prospect of shaping the future of anti human-trafficking efforts into evidence-based interventions with measurable outcomes.
In launching these forums for anonymous human trafficking incident reporting we expect to increase the number of human trafficking tips reported to police. This will provide a low cost alternative to the expensive telephone based human trafficking tip line operated by the Polaris Project, and this will be the only human trafficking tip operation that facilitates accountability and true anonymity. At six month intervals, our non FIA affiliated partner, the Justitia Institute will follow up on reported incidents and determine how many arrests, convictions, and investigations resulted from the tips our mobile application and website collected. Not only will this capitalize on and evaluate the outcome of our FIA seed grant endeavor, but also provide a data source to evaluate the prevalence of human trafficking, actions by law enforcement, and efficacy of interventions. Contributing to this project will make a lasting impact in effort to combat human trafficking locally in Maryland, and throughout the United States.
Signing this petition in support of our project application will help bring this idea to fruition. It tells funders that you would consider using these services to report suspected incidents of human trafficking. And it tells legislators that you support low cost innovative practices with measurable outcomes!

Very nice work, congrats!
Thank you so much matteclipse
Stunning work, wow. I want to buy this, but I need WPML support, does this theme work with WPML ?
Yes, Kolor supports language files, so WPML would use these files in order to translate?
Everything inside the front-end theme is translatable by gettext so I guess WMPL would do the sameHere is sample screenshot of .po file http://cl.ly/KGm3
Also, will you make it retina ready?
This theme is pure CSS3 , and it looks perfectly clear in retina displays, except few icons (social and widgets) that are in the original size of defined width (retina needs 2x of the size). So, in the next update I'll make them compatible for retina display.
The next update comes next by the end of the next week
i must say : This is Perfect
Good job guys.
Faton, faleminderit shume vlla
It's a great theme with lots of possibilities and above all great support!
Thank you very much we'll keep bringing good web elements time by time
Does it includes social network plug-ins? Thanks.
You mean adding share buttons on blog (or portolio)?
Currently no, but that is possible using WP Plugins
Ciao, great looking theme..
Any chance to see the documentation? Need to know if there are endless possibilities to set up, for intstance; the homepage, shortcodes for posts/pages etc…
Thanks, will check it!
Hello. Is it possible to modifiy the size of the picture in the "wide slider" ? (the height) And make it clickable ?
Images are stretched automatically in the slider. If you want specific version of wideslider, we will make it for you and also make slides clickable.
how i use roundabout slider? i can't find it.
good job.
ok i find it.
but I can add links to photos, to be able to link to other post?
This option is not available yet in this version but you can do it manually so: CAPTION HERE
Change THE LINK to the link you want. Change CAPTION HERE to the caption you want to use.
Hope this helps.
Sorry we forgot to put this feature. Tomorrow I will send you the modified code so you can do that.
Im sorry for this
Congrats to you guys, i think this theme is awesome! Looks Beautiful it's well organised and very useful for any kind of needs.
Good luck on sales.
Thank you very much, Gjenqi
Awesome theme, but I was wondering if it would be possible to integrate BuddyPress with this theme?
Look forward to hearing from you, thanks
Hi dctalks, I am glad you like Kolor. The theme is designed to be used for blogging and business and we didn't mention it for BuddyPress use. Right now we're not planning to integrate it for BuddyPress.
Hello, I love this template and want to use it. I just dropped a few questions on the support forum
Thank you kalimaya, I am glad you liked the theme. I just answered your questions on our support forum about Kolor, check the support forum again to fix your problems.
Nice theme. One client choose this theme. Its showing home page portfolio gallery and latest post pages but i want to change home page corporate content and image details in home page. Is possible to change this page? like 1 row 4 columns title and content with images.
You are talking about the portfolio items in homepage? Yes you can change the number of rows to 1,2,3 or 4 rows. If you wan't to display the titles, we'll modify it for you.
I am so ready to buy this theme once it goes retina! I just wonder if you would consider getting this certified or checked over by the guys at WPML ? I'm sure you'd sell tons more to international people who require this.
A ask because I've done a few sites that didn't have this and although they had everything wrapped in gettext and the .po, certain pages wouldn't translate and there were many little bugs. It's a lot of time to invest to take the risk. Would you mind to do this?
Yes buddy, we will add these significant features to this theme, We hope during the next week this will be ready.
We'll definitely take the risk.
Thanks, Arlind
Thank you very much! I'll check back next week for these updates!
Great job on this theme guys, it's gorgeous and looks to work very well.
looks great, is there a way to remove the colors under the menu bar?
Hi 21technology
Yes of course you can do that, here is an example:

For the 35 million Americans who suffer from seasonal allergies--aka Worst. Thing. Ever.--springtime means runny nose, itchy eyes, and a whole slew of irritating symptoms. Medications can help, but they can also come with side effects of their own. But before you resign on hunkering down indoors for the next several months, check out this bit of science: According to a new study, acupuncture may help provide some relief, although how much it helps is still up for grabs.
German researchers divided allergy sufferers into three groups for the study, published this week in the Annals of Internal Medicine; all three groups took a daily antihistamine (similar to Zyrtec) and were allowed to self-medicate with other OTC drugs if needed. After eight weeks, patients who received acupuncture treatments along with a the antihistamine reported that they felt better, and had used less medication overall, compared to patients who had the antihistamine alone.
The third group, who received the drugs plus "sham acupuncture" treatments (simulated pinpricks meant to feel like the real thing) also reported a slight decrease in allergy symptoms–enough to suggest that a placebo effect may play a partial role, but not enough to rule out the real benefits seen in the true acupuncture group.
Bottom line: The authors say they wouldn't suggest acupuncture as the only treatment for allergies (as experts still cannot guarantee acupuncture would be a cure; larger studies are needed), but would recommend it to people who aren't getting the relief they need from medication, or who experience considerable side effects from their allergy drugs. Meanwhile, here's some other natural ways to stifle your sneezes this spring.
Do you suffer from seasonal allergies? Does this make you want to give acupuncture a try? Tweet us your thoughts at @amandaemac and @SELFmagazine.

Rare Trans Am Mustang Up for Grabs at Russo and Steele in Monterey
In 1969; Ford Motor Company and Bud Moore battled Roger Penske and Chevrolet in the Sports Car Club of America's Trans American Sedan championship for supremacy. Now, one of the survivors of that tremendous season is being put up for sale.
Despite being highly competitive in the 1969 season (Bud Moore/Ford team drivers Parnelli Jones and George Follmer won four out of the first five races) a series of late season mishaps, including a spectacular three car crash at Ste. Jovite gave Mark Donohue and the Team Penske Camaros the edge and the manufacturer's title went to Chevrolet. Nevertheless, the surviving Trans Am Mustangs from this golden era, still command serious money when they go up for sale today.
One of only two genuine 1969 Trans Am Mustangs still in existence, is this car – chassis number 112074, which is due to be auctioned off at Russo and Steele's event in Monterey on August 12-14th. This particular machine made it's competition debut at the Citrus 250 NASCAR race in February 1969, driven by Parnelli Jones. Built originally as a Daytona Special, it became the Bud Moore prototype and later the team's main car during the 1969 Trans Am season. It's also significant in being the only 1969 Trans Am Mustang to be raced both by Bud Moore and Team Shelby. The car, which is fully certified and documented by both the Federation Internationale d'Automobile (FIA) and the Historic Trans Am Registry, is likely to attract a lot of attention and some very serious bidding at Russo and Steele. Make sure you check back with AutoGuide for the final sales results from this highly anticipated auction.

Someday soon, I'll once again feel the softness of your skin.
I'll see your beautiful brown eyes, again someday soon.
The sound of your voice will be like music to my ears,
as will the words I long to hear.
Someday soon, I'll smell your sweet perfume,
and You really will be there... It won't be just a dream...
I know you have gone to a place far away and unknown to me,
But you are still in my heart and mind everyday...
Someday soon, I'll feel your warm, loving arms around me again,
and the softness of your kind lips will once again fall upon my face,
to kiss away all the tears,
just like you used to do when I was your Little Girl,
so long ago..
I just know that someday soon, Mother,
You and I will be together again.
Someday soon...so until then, I send All My Love to YOU...
Love Always And Forever,
Your Little Girl, Dee..

WANA, Sept 16: Tribal negotiators have claimed a breakthrough in talks with militants for release of nearly 300 soldiers in return for withdrawal of troops from some of the Mehsud areas of South Waziristan.
A tribal jirga led by MNA Maulvi Mirajudin and Senator Salih Shah briefed political agent Hussainzada Khan in Wana on Sunday on the talks they had held with the militants holding the soldiers hostage. Sources said senior military officers were also present on the occasion.
Senator Salih was optimistic about the release of the soldiers taken hostage on Aug 30 by militant group of commander Baitullah Mehsud.
"There is some understanding between the two sides under which security forces will be pulled out of two areas in return for the soldiers' release," Senator Salih told Dawn by phone. He said troops would be withdrawn from Ghet Ser and Shin Ser areas of the troubled region.
However, ISPR director-general Maj-Gen Waheed Arshad expressed ignorance about any progress in the talks, particularly about withdrawal of troops from some areas.
He told Dawn from Islamabad that a ceasefire had been brokered with the help of the jirga on Saturday and negotiations were under way to resolve the issue.
Senator Salih said that supply of food for security forces deployed in the Mehsud tribe's areas, so far blocked by militants, would be resumed on Monday under supervision of the jirga.
Official sources said a timeframe for the soldiers' release had been decided, adding that militants had demanded release of their 50 people before they freed the soldiers. A jirga member said the two sides had reached understanding on major issues, but declined to provide details.

The process of drawing lines for legislative districts has been controversial in the past, but an agreement passed in the Senate Friday will be sold to Ohioans as a way to make that process more fair. "This is the most significant bi-partisan activity that I have been involved in in my time here in the House and the general assembly," said Democratic State Representative Vernon Sykes, who's leaving after 26 years in the statehouse. Washington Gridlock Rooted In Gerrymandering By Emily McCord • Dec 20, 2013 Dayton Daily News The way states draw congressional districts may be a contributing factor to the dysfunction of today's political climate, according to an investigation by the Dayton Daily News published earlier this week.

When Nicole Burmaster enrolled in a self-defense class earlier this year, the first thing the instructors taught her had nothing to do with punching a bag or aiming a karate chop.
Rather, they taught her how to walk.
The staff at the Fitness Compound, a gym tucked in the corner of an office complex near Huntington Central Park, recently launched a class called Street Survival, in which students learn practical methods of defending themselves. In some cases, that means avoiding dangerous situations before they arise — for example, by walking with the head up and shoulders back and not fumbling with a cell phone or keys.
"You can't always rely on someone being there with you," said Burmaster, a stay-at-home mom from Huntington who enrolled in Street Survival along with her sister. "You can't always grab your purse or reach for your pepper spray."
For those hair-raising moments, instructors Nick Rians and Michele Mandala offer a number of specific pointers. Here's a test one might cobble together from their sessions:
Q: You hear footsteps behind you, and then two arms wrap around your neck in a chokehold. How do you break free?
A: You have a couple of seconds to loosen the attacker's grip, which can be done by stomping on feet or elbowing sides. Once the arm around the neck slackens, bite down on it hard.
Q: Suppose the person then pushes you and you fall backward. How do you land?
A: As you fall, tuck your chin into your chest to keep your head from hitting the ground. Turn your palms down to "high-five" the ground and avoid banging your elbows. Then raise your knees to keep the attacker at bay.
Q: If you then manage to knock the attacker down, in what direction do you run?
A: Diagonally, since the attacker will expect you to run straight.
Rians, a former Marine and the owner of the Fitness Compound, and Mandala, a black belt trained in hand-to-hand police combat, end each hour-long session by letting the students propose scenarios. The chokehold defense arose from a question Thursday afternoon; other times, students have suggested outlandish situations, like how to fend off 20 gun-wielding attackers at once.
In those instances, Mandala said, she and Rians handle the question logically, asking the class to imagine the circumstances that might lead to such a moment and how to avoid them.
"Between Nick's and my experience, we always know the answer," she said.
The instructors began teaching the Street Survival tactics in workshops for companies and school districts, and many participants asked them to make it a regular offering at the gym. The class, which drew three men and nine women Thursday, now takes place three days a week and accepts anyone 14 and older — including people with disabilities and other physical limitations.
Rians, who said he once disarmed a gunman in El Monte by stepping forward quickly and redirecting his hand, aims to teach one core principle above all.
"The main thing taught is being aggressive," he said. "If a criminal comes up to you on the street and you're aggressive to that person, they're likely to back off and find some other prey."

"The most useful piece of learning for the uses of life is to unlearn what is untrue."
Give or take a miscount day.
I'm not going to predict a Permanent Democratic Majority (after we take back the House in two years), we libs tend to not have the hubris so characteristic of the righties.
Having come of age during the golden years of the middle class, it has increasingly distressed me to see America, the shining city on the hill, fall back to gross inequality and loss of hope for a better tomorrow.
The climb back to what will be a newer version of a liberal America. As we've seen so emphatically, the voting face of America has changed: Darker and younger. We have to undo forty years of right wing propaganda that is effective it gets people to vote against their own best interests.
"It's morning in America." Where have I heard that before?
I see plenty of hubris. Ol' David Sirota tweeted that the election was a total rejection of conservatism by the electorate, and had nothing to do with Romney himself. Sirota is a blowhard with no more pull than any third-rate GOP dingleberry (like his co host Michael Brown, for example – I'm not thinking of people like Limbaugh or O'Reilly), but I know he's not alone in thinking that.
Now, some of that may be the result of an after-election high. Since I began voting in the 80s, I myself can't recall an all-around more satisfying election than this one, free of disappointments (such as the passage of Amendments 1 & 2 in 1992, which really took the wind out of the Clinton victory's sails for me). But the reports of the Romney campaign's ineptitude should give up pause; a competent game would have made this much closer, and even conceivably have delivered enough crucial swing states to give him victory. A closer election would also have meant fewer new Dem Senators, possibly even more GOP House victories, and more trouble for progressive ballot measures. In short, even if Romney still lost, the GOP would hardly be hurt at all.
All because Romney had no game. Fixing that will be the easiest task for the GOP.
I'm repeating myself, but it's time for Obama and the Dems to deliver. And if the 'pubs in Congress continues to behave as if nothing has changed (especially if no filibuster reform happens – that's going to be the first test for the Dems), Obama has to be ready to both call them out publicly and to take his case to the people. Failure to deliver will definitely give the GOP new life, and they could even win in 2014 and/or 2016. That's going to slow the climb considerably.
though there is not much hope there. But, realistically, Obama term 2, lets push ahead for the right measures such as ACA, removing regulations thoughtfully and not believe that every reg is "onerous", economic and job issues, etc. That nation building at home stuff. Keeping the Post Office
The problem Republicans have is too much money. When you have a party whose basic overriding ideology is to scam suckers out of their money so that rich people can have more, it seems inevitable that everyone involved in the scam will be looking for just a little bit more of an edge at every step. A party of grifters has a hard time not getting itself grifted.
The 2010 GOP victories led to widespread gerrymandering. As a result, the Democratic majority in popular House votes still left GOP in control, albeit minus 7 seats. I'm not sure the damage can be undone until 2022.
I'm hoping that another two years of Obama and Dem solving of problems will shift the balance.
Don't forget, if you tally up all of the votes of the people that put representatives in the house, Dems got half a million more than PUbs. This is the tyranny of the vacant states.
I understand that this is the result of gerrymandering and we will have to live with it to greater or lesser degrees for the next eight years. I'm hoping it's increasingly to the lesser.
Please do not forget, it is production of goods and services, which increases the quality of life.
History can now look back on very socialist and very capitalist economies. And history shows, without a doubt, that a regulated capitalism works best for more people than any alternative.
And, don't bother posting your shit videos. No one clicks on them.
I could only tolerate 30 seconds. Nock comes up with the most mind numbingly stupid shit.
Who knew?
Ever notice how Nock always posts links and videos, but never any kind of summary of why he thinks they should be read or viewed? (Insults aren't arguments in favor of anything, let alone persuasive reasons to do anything.) It's because he likes how they sound but doesn't understand them himself.
With his ignorant, racist, rantings.

So this is just another Monday like any other? Come on, we can do better.
I'm gonna call out a big THANK YOU for the service, the suffering, and the sacrifices of our veterans.
Today is government employees get a day off because yesterday was Veteran's Day day.
Some of us did make note elsewhere over the weekend.
Our annual neighborhood picnic, with about 240 attending, honored veterans. All of the service's songs were sung and America the Beautiful. No hymn to war (Star Spangled Banner.) Even this not-knee-jerk American loved it.
I had never noticed this refrain before, but I latched onto it:
America! America!
God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.
Forward. Mending mode now activated.
Pols pulls a Romney and produces one retroactively?

about the Studpid States going for Rmoney
The GOP appears to be still trying to push their recently rejected plan to resolve the fiscal cliff.
Politico has offered 5 scenarios of their own. There are plenty of issues that need to be resolved (doc fix, AMT, etc.) which are also negotiating points.
But I believe one line in the sand must be drawn. My humble suggestion would be for President Obama to simply state:
"Speaker Boehner, I have explained to the American people why on January 1st, I will raise taxes on those like me who make more than $250,000 per year. The voters on November 6th agreed with me that that is a fair down payment on getting our fiscal house in order.
Mr. Speaker, are you prepared to explain to the voters in 2014 why you and members of your party decided to raise taxes on the middle class as well?"
I hope President Obama says exactly that.
Are you still arguing that the South didn't secede to protect slavery? Try on this quote from Nathan Bedford Forrest:
"If we ain't fightin' fer slavery then I'd like to know what we are fightin' fer."
Nockles premise . . .
He can't wrap his tiny mind around the fact that other folks, unlike him, understand and accept that pigmentation does not make one less human.
. . . until his premise changes, no pesky facts are going to change his conclusions.
simple little souls who loved servin' massa and lived lives of joy until mean old lincoln freed them.
Seriously, the old Nockworst claim that the civil war was about secession, not slavery, ignores the fact that the only reason the South seceded was to save slavery. And all that BS about freedom and liberty boiled down to the fact that they wanted the freedom to enslave others.
I was visiting my in-laws and had gone over to the next door neighbors with mom-in-law. They were flying some kind of flag that turned out to be the battle flag of some Confederate unit. I bit my tongue since I was a guest in his house, but it was all I could do to keep it between my teeth when he said that the Civil War wasn't about slavery at all. I also knew that he was pretty ultraconservative per my father in law (a pretty right wing man himself, RIP), so that told me just about all I needed to know about him.
He's passed away from cancer since then, and I never did see him again, so I'm glad I stayed quiet. But when I meet someone, especially a white man in or beyond middle age, and I find out that he's into the Confederacy and denies slavery as a cause when it was mentioned by name in several (if not all) of the secession statements, it tells me all about where they're coming from.
But the South's only reason for secession was to save slavery. Alan Nevin's marvelous eight-volume Ordeal of the Union makes that crystal clear.
In contrast, Lincoln's oft-quoted line that if he could save the Union by keeping slavery that he would keep it and if he could save the union by ending slavery, he would end it has to be taken with a grain of salt.
For openers, how many slaves would the Great Pragmatist have freed if he had lost the Civil War? And he knew, as did the secessionists, that slavery could not endure in the face of a hostile federal government. The minimum requirement to be a Republican was to oppose any expansion of slavery to the territories. As the country grew, that would eventually lead to a strongly anti-slavery Senate, joined by an anti-slavery house.
The only way to save slavery, as southern leaders like Alexander Stephens admitted, as to secede. After they lost the war, the crafted the Lost Cause myth to hide the shameful truth. But only the likes of Nockworst are stupid enough to believe it. And he just hates black people — who he predicted before the election would riot if Obama was not re-elected.
about the causes of the Civil War. Slavery was the central issue. You're right, it's absolutely inescapable.
One thing I learned from that class was how close we came to ending slavery, or at least ensuring its demise, when we were still operating under the Articles of Confederation. There was a SOUTHwest Ordinance bill under consideration that was virtually identical to the Northwest Ordinances. It included a provision prohibiting slavery in the Southwest, and it lost by one single, solitary vote.
The whole Civil War could have been avoided.
Granted, fighting the Civil War did settle questions that Nock and his master-race wannabe buddies like to pretend are open and valid. And perhaps some other crisis might have forced the issue at some point. Still, it was an amazing illustration of how a single decision can reverberate a lifetime later.
Obviously, the founders hoped slavery would eventually die out. alas, the invention of the cotton gin gave it a new lease on life.
Where does a girl who has never fired a gun, but doesn't want to be treated like she's a cute little lady afraid of breaking a nail, go for lessons & a CCW license? Preferably in Jefferson County.
Had a creepy experience with an ex-colleague this morning that reminded me, Cowgirl lives alone (except for the cowdog and cats) and Cowgirl still has no guns and that's a problem.
I'd suggest checking with the Jeffco Sheriff's office.
And have nothing but respect for law enforcement, especially the local department three blocks from my house. My PD is efficient, effective, prompt, polite, and respectful to everyone they encounter, as far as I've seen. Of course I would much rather the professionals handle any crimes against me.
However, in the rare situation where that isn't going to be the case, I'd like to have a means of defense besides shrieking and scratching and kicking.
Take a look at statistics around how many people are injured or killed with their own guns. Also look at the number of incidents such as the one with which you're concerned.
I'm recently returned from Afghanistan with the Army, and I'm fairly well-trained with a handgun. I can't think of a single incident where having a firearm would have made me safer in the civilian world, including two attempted muggings in NYC.
I'd encourage you to consider other alternatives, including those suggested by parsingreality (and for those reasons).
Including people who are hella stupid with their guns.
Not arguing though, it's worth considering and you certainly have the experience to say so. I've been thinking about this for a while and life seems to keep handing me reminders to make a decision.
awareness and vigilance…having a gun could be useful.. as long as you get good training. If you get a gun, though, don't just get a noisemaker. Get a firearm with some stopping power…not a .22 or such.
Recommended by a friend. Made in the USA, right size for my hands, and he owns a couple of guns from this maker that he says are reliable and easy to use.
I have 1 in a much larger caliber that has always been trouble free. By trouble I mean it has never jammed or misfired. 9mm is good for self defense as long as you keep pulling the trigger until it is empty. Lightweight, easy to carry and to handle. After you fire 100 rounds or so you'll be good at 20 yards or less. Then keep shooting at least monthly. Prepare to enjoy it
One thing to consider is the ammo. There are two types of 9MM ammunition…9MM Luger (much more common) and 9MM Makarov. The latter can be hard to find. Go w/ the Luger ammo.
Oh…what Gray says about firing in self defense..Yes.
Personally, I keep a S&W 357 Magnum revolver for that purpose. One shot will drop most attackers, I am told.
One more tip…always use hearing protection when practice firing your weapon…ALWAYS.
One more tip…always use hearing protection when practice firing your weapon…ALWAYS
cigarette filters : )
.357 in bedside stand. Other advantage, easier to clean a revolver than non. No springs that may fly about the room resisting search
I'll echo what duke said about 9mm ammo. Makarov is harder to find and it makes a smaller hole. If you want a round the size of a 9mm Makarov and you will have only one gun then you ay as well go with a .380.
But, HiPoint makes good, economical guns
I've taken it, though I never applied for the permit. any local gunshop can refer you to a course provider, I'm sure.
but, since you volunteer with law enforcement there I'd suggest you query one of the older hands
I keep a big can of pepper spray and a HD flashlight in my bedroom. I've also heard forget the pepper spray, get wasp spray.
Now, that's some bad boy stuff. About $7, will stream for 20 feet, blowing petroleum carrier into a perp's face. It works so fast on insects it wouldn't surprise me that there will be nonlethal effects on humans. Legal everywhere. Not available purse sized, obviously. (Not implying our very own PCG carries a purse!)
I'm not against guns, although I believe we have way too many circulating. It's just not always the best choice, including cost, training, and decision making under stress.
I hope your incident stays unique and without a repeat.
Is Colorado wind. I once saw someone bear spray himself by spraying into a sudden gust of wind, and it wasn't pretty. Granted there's not much wind in my bedroom, but at my front door there often is.
I have a big, heavy Maglite in my car already–love those things. Like WD-40, they have countless uses.
I've considered something more like a Taser, but they seem even harder to use effectively and safely than a gun.
PCG — while the concept of having a handgun you can pull out and point at an attacker seems attractive, the best weapon to carry around with you is you. Light, easy to handle and you don't have to fumble around for it in an emergency.
A sixty-five year old friend showed me a few moves from this self-defense technique. It convinced me that I wouldn't ever try to sneak up behind him if I valued my life or limb:
Maga, Israeli Self Defense, is now available here in Colorado! Krav Maga is the official Self Defense and Fighting system of the Israeli Army. Specifically designed to be used by anyone, Krav Maga teaches easy to learn self defense techniques based on your bodies natural instinctive reaction to threats, and builds from there. Krav Maga is not a Martial Art, there is nothing fancy or artistic about what we do. Our classes are taught ONLY by certified Krav Maga Instructors, our teaching methods and training drills are unique and guaranteed to get you proficient at self-defense fast. We offer ongoing Krav Maga classes in Broomfield, Boulder, and in Denver, and seminars all around the United States and Colorado. Colorado Krav Maga Training Centers are all licensed Krav Maga Force Training Division Training Centers for Law Enforcement Training
Like Parsing said — I hope this incident is unique and never repeated.
I'd like to take some sort of self defense classes at some point, but I'm not sure I buy the marketing that there's anything which can equalize the playing field between–well, you've seen me–and a big, strong guy with an agenda who is willing to commit a crime to execute it.
I'm okay, by the way, thanks for your concern. If things get any weirder I'll file a police report of the "I know it's not a chargable offense yet but I want a paper trail" variety, but I don't think this guy is any real threat. (And I mean that in the "assessment based on real-world experience" way, not the, "I'm female and conditioned to be a people-pleaser so I'm viewing this through rose-colored glasses" way.) It was just a wake-up call that if this dude showed up at my house to prove me wrong about his "threat level," I'd be up a creek right now.
As someone above said, awareness is a huge factor in people becoming victims. I'm always playing the awareness game when I take a walk, or am in public. And, honestly? I'm usually unaware! Human nature to ignore outside as our brains churn over internal matters.
But certainly, things like returning to your parked car, observing people walking towards you or loitering in your path, should become second nature.
And if you get into your car, and you realize that you didn't look underneath while you were a distance away, or look in the backseat, just use it as a learning experience. Tell yourself, "Never again."
Just remember, if he's got his arms around you from behind, a heel to his arch, and when he crumples forward, arch your back and break his nose with the back of your head.
If he's in front of you and tries to grab you, heel to the knee cap (or arch), and break his nose with your forehead as he crumples forward.
Faster than you can aim and pull the trigger.
Then as he's on the ground, kick anywhere you feel would provide you with the most satisfaction.
While dialing the police, naturally 😉
Got it out of a book when I was 12 and practiced it on a bigger guy friend for a while (did I mention I was in "fight club" in middle school?) — works pretty well. I do need to make time for some real classes. I'd enjoy it and it'd be useful.
"The Art of Shen Ku" is the book if you're curious. It's bizarre and wonderful. Written by a lunatic who lives on a houseboat.
A really freaking crazy one.
But he dedicated his life to basically learning everything that could be useful to a traveler — apparently including some moves from Krav Maga!

Plus, there's that grateful nation, tax payer funded program to preserve the farms and business obligations of volunteer soldiers.

When you do purchase that weapon, whatever you decide upon, if you're going to have any chance at all of children being around where you keep that weapon, then you really must make this purchase also . . . the very same day:
There are several dozens of similar types of easily accessible handgun safes on the market, and I'm not advocating for these particular example units, I am advocating strongly that you get one. Please.
A safe, or a gun lock, is not anywhere nearly as sexy as a firearm. But, remember your reason for wanting to purchase a gun in the first place is "safety."
U.S. to Be World's Top Oil Producer in 5 Years, Report Says
The United States will overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's leading oil producer by about 2017 and will become a net oil exporter by 2030, according to a new report released on Monday by the International Energy Agency.
That increased oil production, combined with new American policies to improve energy efficiency, means that the United States will become "all but self-sufficient" in meeting its energy needs in about two decades – a "dramatic reversal of the trend" in most developed countries, the report says.
And, some bad . . .
The report confirms that, given the current policies, we will blow past every safe target for emissions," Mr. Levi said. "This should put to rest the idea that the boom in natural gas will save us from that."
at the discussions of Mitt taking a position with the administration. Because he would have to disclose his income tax
The Union is breaking apart as we speak, lol. Only the Guns of Guberment will keep it together.
"In the wake of last week's presidential election, thousands of Americans have signed petitions seeking permission for their states to peacefully secede from the United States. The petitions were filed on We the People, a government website.
States with citizens filing include Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Oddly, folks from Georgia have filed twice. Even stranger, several of the petitions come from states that went for President Barack Obama."
not a petition, just a good suggestion for dinner
Meanwhile, 80 million or so other Southerners aren't thinking treasonous thoughts.
how anti-American of you.
Leave !
Any asshole who hates America as much as you do will have a great future with the next dictator there.
The black man and the U.N. are gonna take your guns away!
Hey, did you know that without exception, it's the Rmoney Red states that get more from the feds than they pay in taxes?
And also the most obese?
And also the least educated?
Are you seeing a pattern here?
White fat stupid people fear the black man in the White House.
White fat stupid people fear the black man in the White House.
Not all of us… 🙂
who you ask.. 🙂
in my post election delirium I posted that President Obama received more Mormon votes that Rmoney. Clearly that is inaccurate. What is accurate is that he received a smaller proportion than Bush received

It's nice to have you Carsten.
Ball's in Fitzgerald's court
Leo Schlink - Herald Sun
AUSTRALIAN Davis Cup captain John Fitzgerald's passion for the future of Australian tennis may have already paid dividends.
Fitzgerald is believed to have been urged by several administrators, players and coaches to apply for the new position of director of player development.
The role has been created in response to a dwindling talent pool, starkly evident by world No. 2 Lleyton Hewitt's lonely presence as the nation's only player inside the men's top 100.
But if TA's selection panel requires evidence of Fitzgerald's enthusiasm, it need only consider talented Carsten Ball's decision to compete as an Australian.
In what shapes as a huge windfall for Australia, left-handed Ball will contest the Uncle Tobys Challenger in Burnie from today under the Australian flag as a wildcard.
The holder of both an Australian and US passport, Ball is the son of former Australian Davis Cupper Syd Ball.
But unlike fellow Californian Taylor Dent, whose father Phil represented Australia, Ball junior has chosen to play for the green and gold instead of the US.
Ball stayed at Fitzgerald's coastal home while winning the International Tennis Federation Victorian junior championship in tough conditions over South Australian Todd Ley at Traralgon last month.
He then reached the quarter-finals of the Australian junior titles, falling in three sets to top seed and eventual finalist Sun-Yong Kim, of Korea.
Fitzgerald and Davis Cup coach Wally Masur have intensified efforts to lure top young athletes to tennis as Australia languishes in senior ranks, apart from Hewitt.
Ball, 17, could be invited to take part in Australia's first-round Davis Cup tie against Austria in Sydney next month as a hitting partner for Hewitt, Wayne Arthurs and Todd Woodbridge.
He will test his game this week against a batch of emerging local talent, including Todd Reid.
Re: It's nice to have you Carsten.
Can't believe NO ONE has posted in this thread for over two years :eek: :o
Carsten is making steady progress this year. He has won a futures tournament in the USA and featured consistently in the latter stages of these events. He has now (I think) got a place in the top 600 and will be looking to end the season with a bag. I reckon he could make top 450 by year's end
For those who haven't seen him play, he has a big serve, powerful forehand and consistent backhand. He is tall and needs to work on his movement and mental toughness
Re: It's nice to have you Carsten.
Carsten recently broke into the top 400 and is currently ranked 380. He is playing the Australian Open Playoff at Melbourne Park this coming week
Re: It's nice to have you Carsten.
Carsten and Adam Feeney did really well in reaching the third round of the Australian Open doubles. I am sure that Carsten's dad Syd, whom was a top doubles player himself will be very handy for them. Keep up the good work guys!
Re: It's nice to have you Carsten.
Carsten has had a fairly good season this year with a future final in Portugal and two semis in Great Britain, but its what he has done this week thats caught everyones attention.
He has made the final of a Challenger event in America and has beaten the likes of John Isner to get there. Also coming through qualifying makes his run even more impressive.
Re: It's nice to have you Carsten.
through to the final now, this week keeps getting better and better for him
Re: It's nice to have you Carsten.
Re: It's nice to have you Carsten.
Re: It's nice to have you Carsten.
I wonder why he gets so little support! It is definitely worth noting that he came through qualifying and he has now reached the final and with a great chance of beating Miranda as well. He has had a great season and one we need to keep a close eye on! So happy with his results this week. Sid Ball was a very good and loyal and supportive Aussie. Nice that at least one of our older Aussies sons have decided to fly the flag for Australia!
Re: It's nice to have you Carsten.
Carsten is into the semi finals of the Yuba City challenger where he will play Sam Warburg for a spot in the final. This week he defeated Nicolas Monroe and Todd Paul in straight sets and also defeated Kevin Kim once again.
His ranking should get a boost with him having no points to defend this week. Unfortunately though he isn't going to play in the grasscourt season and instead is entered in a US Futures tournament next week where he will be number 1 seed if he goes.
Re: It's nice to have you Carsten.
Nice result. Hope Carsten makes my top 10 list soon. Keep it up Carsten in the
US Challengers.

Carsten :shrug: so hot and cold mate
Re: It's nice to have you Carsten.
I agree with Azza but it is great when he is running hot! He has had a really impressive season so far. I expect him to overtake Smeets, Sirianni and Jones by the end of the year.
Re: It's nice to have you Carsten.
I can see this guy being in top 100 in the not too distant future. lol hes almost as inconsistant as the Gooch.
Re: It's nice to have you Carsten.
Davis Cup doubles prospect imo.
