BATESVILLE — A case of bribery and kickbacks involving a north Mississippi hospital will be argued today before a federal appeals court in New Orleans.
Ray Shoemaker, a former administration at Tri-Lakes Medical Center in Batesville, Miss., was sentenced in 2012 to 55 months in federal prison on six counts. A judge ordered a new trial on two counts that alleged Shoemaker had authority over contracts entered into by the hospital.
The government alleges Shoemaker and Lee Garner, owner of Guardian Angel Nursing/On-Call Staffing, entered into a conspiracy to increase boost Garner's nurse staffing business and pay Shoemaker for his assistance as a key executive at Tri-Lakes Medical Center in Batesville
The indictment alleged another conspiracy between Garner, Shoemaker and hospital board member and Panola County administrator David Chandler where Garner allegedly offered to pay Shoemaker $25,000 in exchange for Shoemaker's influence over the ordering of nursing services for Garner's company.
Court records show Chandler paid Shoemaker $12,000 in furtherance of the conspiracy.
The government is asking the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to deny Shoemaker's appeal of his conviction and restore the convictions on the other two counts.
The government is also asking the 5th Circuit to restore the verdicts against Garner. Garner is fighting the government's request.
In August 2012, U.S. District Judge Neal Biggers ordered a new trial for Garner and ordered a new trial for Shoemaker on two of the 10 guilty verdicts.
Biggers said some jury instructions were prejudicial to both defendants.
Biggers said the government erred in relying on the alleged actions of Chandler to support allegations against Garner and Shoemaker.
Prosecutors had said Garner paid Chandler a kickback and bribe in the amount of $5 per hour for every hour of nursing services Garner's nursing company billed and collected at Tri-Lakes.
As part of that scheme, prosecutors said Garner paid Chandler a total of $268,000 between May 2005 and July 2007. Court records say Chandler acted as a middleman between Shoemaker and Garner.
"It is undisputed that Garner's company provided competent nursing services for each hour it got paid. Moreover, Tri-Lakes ended up owing Garner for provided nurses which Tri-Lake never paid for," Biggers said in his ruling.
But Biggers said prosecutors had to show that the person receiving the alleged bribe — in this case Chandler — had authority to act for the institution in the business actions.
"It is undisputed that Chandler had no decision-making authority in regard to the actual procurement of nursing staff … and was not shown to have controlled those who were," Biggers said.
In briefs filed with the 5th Circuit, prosecutors said it was not necessary for Chandler, as a hospital board member, to have authority over a specific activity at the hospital.
"Even the most narrow interpretation … would only require that Chandler have general authority to act with respect to the funds" of the hospital, prosecutors said.
Garner's attorneys argued that the court record shows Chandler did not control the purse strings of the hospital. They said it is clear that the payments to Chandler were for his collection work and the payment ledger reflected that.
"Chandler didn't get paid unless Garner was paid," Garner's attorneys argued.
Garner, Shoemaker and Batesville doctor Robert Corkern were indicted by a federal grand jury in September 2011 on allegations they carried out a conspiracy to wrongly reward Garner and enrich Shoemaker through a kickback-bribery scheme, as well as multiple lies to lending agencies funding Tri-Lakes.
Corkern and Chandler cut plea deals with the government for their cooperation.
Corkern was sentenced to two years' house confinement and three years' post-release supervision for his role in a scheme.
Chandler was sentenced to 14 months in prison.

Justin Bieber moves girlfriend to tears
Teen sensation Justin Bieber's heartwarming speech at his girlfriend Selena Gomez's birthday dinner moved her to tears.
The 18-year-old took Gomez and some close friends for a lavish dinner at Il Cielo restaurant in LA on Sunday, and praised her publicly, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"Justin made a speech which brought tears to Selena. It was basically about how wonderful and exceptional Selena is and everyone stood up and applauded. It was very sweet. Justin looked like he is just head over heels in love with Selena," said a source.
Bieber masterminded the entire evening and made sure his 20-year-old girlfriend was pampered very well.
"Justin made sure that everyone at Il Cielo treated Selena like a princess. He was really adorable about it. You could tell that her birthday dinner party meant a lot to him."
"There were rose petals on the tables, which was Justin's idea. He is quite the romantic. The party was held in the back room and was very intimate. There were about 30 guests," the source added.

KARACHI: Mohammad Ali, an ailing 54-year-old former international footballer, who has lost his voice and leg movement after an attack of paralysis two years ago was presented with a cheque of Rs100,000 to pay for his medical treatment by his namesake, Sindh Minister for Sports Dr Mohammad Ali Shah at his office in the Sindh Secretariat here on Wednesday.
Mohammad Ali represented Pakistan as a striker during the national football team's tour of Kabul, Afghanistan, in 1977. Before that he had captained his school, the Government Boys Primary School Haji Abdullah Haroon, team for a number of years while winning several school tournaments for them. Later, he joined the Urdu Arts College and represented his college team at the national level followed by getting a job with the Pakistan Public Works Department (PPWD).
Mohammad's eldest son Naushad Ali, who was accompanying his father, said that they were eight brothers and sisters (four boys and four girls) and even though he himself didn't play football, one younger brother Noman Ali did. "He is a goalkeeper for the football club Kalakot Union and has played in last year's U-14 football championship where he also won the prize for the best goalkeeper," informed Naushad.
"We hope to see him in the Pakistan team in the next couple of years," he added.
Mohammad, despite his condition, is the patron-in-chief of the Kalakot Union which is one of the oldest football clubs of Lyari, founded before Partition. Being a PPWD employee, he has been seeing the doctors on the department's panel after his paralysis attack but the medicines aren't helping him much as his condition deteriorates with each passing day.
Meanwhile, presenting the footballer with the cheque, Dr Mohammad Ali Shah said that he will try to get the ailing footballer another Rs100,000 for his treatment in the next two weeks.
"Mohammad Ali is our national hero. I am well aware that the amount being presented to him here is nothing when you see his services to sports, and especially football, in Pakistan. But we in the sports department also have our limitations due to shortage of grants. Still, I will try my best to arrange for a similar amount in the next couple of weeks," he said.

FORTUNE -- I haven't had so much fun reading legal documents since the Watergate trials.
I loved U.S. v. Apple et al. for the juicy details: the 56 phone calls, the clandestine meetings in swank Manhattan eateries, the secret e-mails "double erased" to ensure they couldn't be traced.
But what makes Apple's (aapl) response, filed Tuesday, such a great read is the clarity and precision with which it cuts the government's case to shreds.
At least as it applies to Apple.
In the space of six paragraphs the document characterizes the Justice Department's assertions as "absurd" and "fundamentally flawed," accuses the government of "ignoring inconvenient facts" and of siding with monopoly rather than competition.
The key paragraph:
The Government starts from the false premise that an eBooks "market" was characterized by "robust price competition" prior to Apple's entry. This ignores a simple and incontrovertible fact: before 2010, there was no real competition, there was only Amazon. At the time Apple entered the market, Amazon sold nearly nine out of every ten eBooks, and its power over price and product selection was nearly absolute. Apple's entry spurred tremendous growth in eBook titles, range and variety of offerings, sales, and improved quality of the eBook reading experience. This is evidence of a dynamic, competitive market. These inconvenient facts are ignored in the Complaint. Instead, the Government focuses on increased prices for a handful of titles. The Complaint does not allege that all eBook prices, or even most eBook prices, increased after Apple entered the market.
Apple's filing doesn't try to defend the five publishers the DOJ has accused of colluding to fix prices. In fact, it basically throws them under the bus, pointing out that if there was a price-fixing conspiracy among its co-defendants -- as alleged -- they kept it secret from Apple.
Meanwhile, the government's lawyers are going to have a hard time proving that Apple violated antitrust laws because the company's market share in the e-book business before the launch of the iPad was essentially zero.
They can't make a case against Apple for collusion because whatever the publishers may have said to one another, there's no evidence that Apple conspired with its competitors.
They can't even use as evidence the blunt quotes taken from the Steve Jobs biography because they are hearsay.
The one element of the government's case that seemed to give Apple's lawyers a hard time was the charge that the most-favored-nation provision Steve Jobs added at the last minute was "designed to protect Apple from having to compete on price at all, while still maintaining Apple's 30% margin."
In its response, Apple's legal team can't even bring itself to name the provision, referring to it repeatedly as MFN. But they manage to shoot some holes in the government's argument, pointing out, among other things, that the 30% cut Apple takes is hardly pure profit margin. It costs money to run the iBookstore, and while Apple doesn't claim to lose money on e-book sales, that's not where it gets the big bucks.
You can get the gist of Apple's filing in those first six introductory paragraphs. The rest is an item-by-item refutation of the government's case and a summary of Apple defenses, should it come to that.
The full document is available as a pdf here.

New movies this week
The gist: A freshly elected Nelson Mandela tries to inspire South Africa's rugby team during an improbable run to the World Cup. Convenient how this is coming out right before the country hosts the 2010 World Cup for soccer, hmm? PG-13
Starring: Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon.
The buzz: Weepy and inspirational, like you'd expect. "Inspirational on the face of it, Clint Eastwood's film has a predictable trajectory, but every scene brims with surprising details that accumulate into a rich fabric of history, cultural impressions and emotion," Variety says.
The Princess and the Frog
The gist: Wait, in all these decades, this is the first time a Disney movie has had black main characters? And it's just an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's The Frog Prince, set in New Orleans? And it's hand-drawn? Way to put some effort into it, Mouseketeers. G
Starring: Voices of Anika Noni Rose, Terrence Howard, John Goodman, Keith David, Jim Cummings, Jenifer Lewis and Oprah Winfrey
The buzz: Passable, but where's that Disney magic? "The movie slam-jams its overpacked story in a frenetic, needlessly complicated manner," the Chicago Tribune says. "It lacks for nothing in setting and atmosphere but comes up short where it counts: the characters."
Red Cliff
The gist: John Woo rewrites the definition of epic in Chinese, exploring an intense and bloody campaign that changed the face of that nation forever. Plus, there's enough romantic and historical backstory that folks who shun gore might dig it long enough to overlook the CGI blood and guts.
Starring: Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Chang Chen, Zhao Wei and Hu Jun.
The buzz: For foreign-film nuts who like their bloody history served with subtitles. "Red Cliff is a dichotomous beast: The computer-generated imagery that makes so much of it possible is served up in heaping, state-of-the-art portions, but the results occasionally border on the cartoonish. At the same time, Red Cliff is a classic tale that gets a classicist's treatment," the Washington Post says.

Hello .. Rich here
do you still wish to chat about this project ?
have you gotten estimated to paint the buildings ? to compare the costs of the labor involved ?
how much area are you talking about covering in this project ?
Thanks Rich.
Labour for painting and stucco (marmaran) are about the same $13-15k for both buildings.
The total wall sft is 15k.
Material cost for stucco (marmaran) is $20k - (Accrocrete S10 or similar)
Material for acrylic paint is $4k
Trouble is I cant find a paint which will cover the "swirl" and make a flat "sand" finish.
OK .. so the biggest difference in cost is the stucco material
let me check on other materials and get back to you
at first thought
I do not think that we are going to find a paint that will completely fill in the swirls on the first application
I am thinking that you will have to have something troweled on to completely fill the swirls and give you a flat finish
I guess the next thought is .. how flat a finish are you looking for? how much of the swirl can you tolerate showing thru the new finish ??
one more thought .. that stucco is a premixed product , I think
have you thought about mixing a sand and mortar mix skim coat stucco on site ?
I seem to think a ton of sand mixed with the mortar mix, like 3 or 4 bags, would cover about 4000 sqft in a skim coat
I was also thinking about having a sand texture sprayed on like they do a popcorn ceiling and then have it troweled smooth obviously not a heavy popcorn texture .. but a sand finish type stuff
the guys in this area use a squeegee to knock down the texture finish

Review University of Southern California
I love attending the University of Southern California! The school has high caliber academics, a competitive yet fun environment for students of all majors, and a gorgeous campus. USC is a bit expensive however, hardworking students can come in with large scholarships to defray this cost. I definitely think that this experience is worth the cost of living and expenses out here and will truly pay off in the end. I have definitely met life long friends and have made unforgettable memories throughout my time here!
USC is an amazing school overall, with more opportunities than most colleges have to offer. That being said, the stereotype surrounding its status as a "rich-kid" school is 100% accurate. Money is kind here and if you can't pay, you can't play.
Academics are overall great, but not what you would except for the money you pay--the professors are either outstanding or verging on awful.
This is a school for business and networking--if that sounds like you, you will fall in love!

As of one semester, entering my second as a graduate student, I can say that my experience with USC has been great! Their student services support is very helpful and easily accessible. They are very proactive in making sure that all required documentation is submitted in a timely manner. They also periodically check on you during the course of the semester.

The Cincinnati Reds haven't hosted an MLB All-Star Game since 1988.
The Great American Ball Park is set to host the Midsummer Classic next year, though, and 2015 All-Star Game's official logo will pay homage to the past in a cool way.
Reds president and CEO Bob Castellini and Cincinnati local officials unveiled the new logo Wednesday, and it's pretty awesome.[tweet https://twitter.com/Reds/status/497025432492195840 align='center']
That mustachioed man on the top of the logo is Mr. Redlegs, one of the team's most endearing mascots who made his debut in the 1950s. Mr. Redlegs' head is also situated perfectly in the top arch of the Reds' traditional "C" that Cincinnati currently wears, successfully combining the past with the present.
"The design chosen pays homage to the historical significance of Reds baseball," Castellini said at the unveiling ceremony, via MLB.com. "It is a tribute to our fans who have loved this game for generations."
The 86th Midsummer Classic will mark the fifth time that the Queen City has hosted the All-Star Game, but it will be the first All-Star Game held at the Great American Ballpark since the stadium opened in 2003.

No matter what spin is placed on today's off-year election, it will not temper the focus on 2012.
Minnesota Governor and presidential prospect Tim Pawlenty will kick-off his new leadership PAC on Wednesday in Minneapolis. with support from Jon Voight and Kelsey Grammer, each of whom will address the fund-raising gathering.
Voight is expected to speak about a simple message about Pawlenty in that the country "is at a clear crossroads." Grammer cannot attend the event, but will call in to address the crowd by speaker phone.
Pawlenty, who is not running for re-election for governor next year, announced earlier last month that he is forming a leadership PAC, called the Freedom First PAC, with money used to help other Republican candidates.
Tickets for the reception at the Hilton Minneapolis are $1,000 per person ($2,000 per couple); and for a reception and dinner, the price is $5,000 per person (or $10,000 per couple).
Voight and Grammer backed John McCain's presidential bid last year.

Get certified - Transform your world of work today
See all CSPO courses near MontrealSee all CSPO courses within Quebec.
Joe Little
Date: 12-14 July, 2011
Location: Montreal, QC, Canada
Regular Price: $1700 CAD
On July 12-14, Joe Little will lead an Intermediate Certified Scrum Product Owner course + workshop in Montreal, CAN. Joe is an experienced Agile coach, with in-depth practical experience in helping teams become very productive with Scrum and Agile. He often co-teaches these courses with other great Scrum trainers. Joe's blog is Agile & Business, here.
Summary of the Course This is an intermediate course, for people with some knowledge and experience.
We spend a good deal of time reviewing the basics, because people always are doing them somewhat wrongly and/or misundertsanding them. And because you must always be explaining them. So you get practice in the course explaining them.
Overall, we use a combination of immersive team-based learning, exercises, and real-world case studies, to help you learn how to be a better Product Owner.
Topics and/or exercises include:
We will also get questions and issues from the group, prioritize them, and cover them as much as possible. We have ready far more material than can be covered in the 2 days, in part to be prepared for the different questions. For half the questions at least, another attendee is thinking "oh, I should have asked that."
This CSPO course is unique in that we are moving beyond theory, applying the Scrum framework in the course and the workshop in more real-world circumstances. It is designed to bring attendees to a level where they feel comfortable experimenting and improvising in Scrum through the role of Product Owner. Thus, you can help the team be more creative and release more business value.
Regarding the Workshop, see this blog post. The feedback we get is that the workshop is essential in taking the 'ideas' of the course and making them 'real' via real work (with on-site coaching). Additional Information : The course will run from 8:30am-5:10pm each day. A continental breakfast, breaks and lunch will be provided. Following the course, each participant is enrolled as a CSPO, which includes a one-year membership in the Scrum Alliance, where additional Scrum materials and information are available.
Though each CSPO course varies depending on the instructor, all Certified Scrum Product Owner® courses focus on Scrum from a product owner's perspective. Graduates will receive the CSPO designation. All CSPO courses are taught by Trainers approved by the Scrum Alliance.
Venue:Residence Inn Montreal Downtown2045 Peel StreetMontreal, QC H3A 1T6 Canadahttp://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/yulri-residence-inn-montreal-downtown/Get Directions
Course Material Participants will receive course materials (not books) at the course. The CSPO course was formulated to train and certify Product Owners and is used worldwide for Product Owner training. In addition, participants should obtain (at their own expense) Agile Project Management with Scrum, by Ken Schwaber, which is required reading for the course.

First Look: Bruce Willis' Cute As A Button Daughter, Mabel Ray! [PHOTOS]
Bruce Willis and wife Emma Heming shopped with their baby, Mabel Ray Willis on Madison Avenue in New York today (August 22nd), giving us a first look at the little tot since mom tweeted a photo of her with Willis.
Willis and Heming joined his daughter's with Demi Moore, Rumer and Tallulah at Mercury Lounge in New York City Monday night (August 20th) to see Scout Willis perform in her band, Gus + Scout, according to New York Daily News. The middle Willis daughter, who turned 21 on July 20th, sipped beer throughout her performance.
Moore was not there with the clan.
"Couldn't be more excited to see my step-daughter Scout + Gus perform tonight in NYC. #solegit," Heming tweeted.
Earlier this summer, Scout was arrested in New York for walking around with an open "Pakistani beer," per court papers. She initially showed a fake ID, but eventually fessed up and gave her real name.
Luckily, Scout was only charged with a misdemeanor crime on account of her clean legal record and good grades at Brown University.

It's obvious that folks at the top get proportionally way too much compensation. But can anything be done to lift up those workers at the bottom rung?
Pay inequality was again in focus Thursday, as nationwide protests argued for better compensation for fast-food workers and other minimum-wage earners. One key battle: What is a proper floor for wages?
No easy answers exist. Clearly, skilled, well-educated and highly motivated workers are prospering in a modest economic recovery. But in a cut-throat, penny-pinching world will opportunities for decent wages exist for the masses unless there's a less-than-subtle nudge from government? President Barack Obama this week called income equality "the defining challenge of our time."
To understand the growing wage gap, I delved into an interesting database of U.S. pay. It's an annual tracking of full-time workers and their weekly median wages broken down by key job titles and assignments. This data – taken from regular Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys of U.S. workers – details how the gap between the corner office and the rest of us is growing. Wages tracked include overtime, commissions and tips, for example. The data does not include items such as fringe benefits, perks and profits from various slices of company stock, a big chunk of top-executive compensation at major corporations.
For 2012, the latest figures in this database, median weekly pay for CEOs from all industries was $2,060. Remember this database includes CEOs from companies of all shapes, sizes and industries. Still, that wage is 2.7 times what the typical full-time U.S. worker earns – $768 a week. That pay gap is growing: In 2003, CEOs were getting 2.5 times the typical worker's wage.
How did that gap expansion occur? My trusty spreadsheet tells me that CEOs median wages went up 32.2 percent from 2003 to 2012. Pay for all of us? It went up 23.9 percent in the decade.
It's not that there's a shortage of top execs, so supply versus demand cannot explain the padded pay hikes for CEOs. By this math, there were 1 million CEOs nationwide in 2012 – down 3.5 percent from 2003. Full-time CEOs peaked in 2009 – as the recession was in full bloom – at 1.1 million top dogs. Those job prunings are likely due to recession-fueled corporate consolidations.
It's not that there's been much growth in full-time work for the masses in the same period either – the increase is 2.4 million spots since 2003, or a paltry 2 percent growth. Worse, last year's 102 million full-time gigs are 5 million short of 2007's peak.
Curiously, CEOs apparently have been getting themselves managerial help. Of the 2.45 million full-time jobs added to the U.S. economy since 2003, 1.43 million – or 59 percent – were considered managerial positions. Note: Only one-tenth of all-full-time workers are categorized as management.
That adds up to a 14 percent jump in overall managerial employees – nearly six times the full-time-job-creating pace of the entire economy. Could this be the result of the recent tendency to micromanage? Or is this the result of employers promoting worker bees into managerial ranks – and not replacing the lower-ranking spots?
Managerial work can be financial rewarding – with median weekly pay of $1,248 in 2012, or 63 percent better than the basic workers' median wage. I doubt this bunch of mid-level bosses will complain too much, but overall managerial wages rose 22 percent since 2003. That's slightly less than the typical pay hike and one-third smaller than pay increases enjoyed by CEOs.
Another hiring spree in this fiscally challenging period was the food-service business, the subject of Thursday's protests. The industry has ballooned in scope as numerous pressures push more households to dine out more frequently. Note that a good chunk of Thursday's protests targeted the low wages paid to fast-food workers – many of whom are part-timers.
The number of full-time food preparers and servers in all types of eating places grew 9 percent after 2003 to 4.3 million. The 345,000 added positions equaled 14 percent of full-time jobs added in all business sectors in this otherwise slow-growth era.
Food isn't usually lucrative work. Median wages for cooks, wait staffs, dishwashers etc. last year was $410 a week nationally, or only 53 percent of the common paycheck.
Perhaps more troubling: Food work's meager pay rose just 17.5 percent in a decade. That is roughly three-quarters of the wage hike seen by all workers.
That's why any increase to the minimum wage – a common pay rate in the food-service industry – would be a boon to many struggling households where food workers reside. I don't believe that raising the minimum wage will cost the economy too many of these low-wage positions.
Please, ponder where our economy has turned. Looking at the gender of many of these new food workers: 74 percent are men. In the rest of the economy, men got just 38 percent of the new full-time work. It's a good bet many of these men didn't pick food work by their own choice. It was the only work available.
Chalk this trend up as another ugly leftover of an uneven economic recovery – one where the biggest winners are typically in and around the corner office suites.

Carpet runners on stairs protect the wood and minimize the chance of falls, both on open and closed stairs. Stairs that do not have a wall on one or both sides are referred to as open stairs. Carpet installation on open stairs is similar to that for closed stairs. The only difference is that the installer has to ensure that the rough carpet edges are not visible. The process of laying carpet may appear challenging for first-time installers, but it is possible to install a carpet runner on open stairs in one afternoon.
Things You'll Need
- Tape measure
- Carpet knife
- Pencil
- Framing square
- Electric stapler
- Knee kicker
- Carpet tool
Measure the stairs to determine how much carpet you will need for the runner. Measure the width of the step to the points where you wish the runner to cover. Add 2 ½ inches to this measurement if you will fold the edges under. For the length of the runner, measure from the bottom of the first riser, where the first step meets the floor, then up the riser to the top of the first step, where the first step meets the riser of the second step. Add 1 inch to this measurement then multiply by the total number of steps. Add 6 inches to the total. Cut the carpet according to these measurements. If you decide against folding the edges of the carpet over, then have a professional bind the edges.
Mark a location on each step for the edges of the padding, then mark the location for the edges of the carpet. The padding should be hidden beneath the carpet when installed.
Cut the padding for each step. Put the padding pieces in place and secure them to the step with the electric stapler.
Place the rolled carpet about three steps above the bottom step. Carefully pull the end of the carpet down to the corner between the bottom step's riser and the floor. Use a row of staples to secure the edge of the carpet to the riser. Ensure that the staples are not visible.
Pull the carpet up to the bottom edge of the riser. Secure it in place with a row of staples. Ensure that the carpet is taut.
Pull the carpet across the top of the step and make it taut with a knee kicker. Place another row of staples in the area between the tread of the current step and the riser of the next step. Push the carpet into this corner with a carpet tool.
Repeat Steps 5 and 6 as you work your way up the steps to the top. Staple the carpet to the corner between the top step and the last riser. Cut the carpet to complete the installation.
Tips & Warnings
- Select the best pad you can find for your stairs. Good quality pads provide sound insulation, increase comfort and extend the life of a carpet.

Four journalists in Liberia working for Britain's Channel 4 network on a documentary about diamond smuggling are headed home after a week in jail on charges of spying. Their ticket out: recantation.
The journalists, who were arrested after Liberian authorities found a partial shooting script in the crew's hotel room, issued a written statement from Monrovia Central Prison saying they wanted "to express our unreserved apology to both his Excellency the President of Liberia, and the people of Liberia, for any offense which our actions or statements have caused... we will discontinue this project as regards Liberia."
Liberian president Charles Taylor, who accused the four of "yellow journalism" and of coming to Liberia with preconceived ideas about the government's role in gunrunning and diamond smuggling, was terse. "We are not expelling the journalists," said Taylor, "but they are free to leave whenever they want."
"Little countries do not have this luxury of defending themselves," he explained. "We have to do it before the fact, not after the fact."
It's a song globe-trotting TIME correspondent Ed Barnes knows well.
"I've been arrested 18 times," he says. "And it's worse today than it's ever been. The leaders of these countries know that with so little international news, whatever does make it onto CNN or into the papers will have a greater impact. The stakes are higher than ever, and so they try to stop it before it happens.
"These guys obviously dug something up on Taylor, somebody talked about it, and so the Liberians went through their hotel room and found a pretext for grabbing them." As for the groveling apology issued by the four prisoners, Barnes says it's hardly an admission of anything, even "yellow journalism."
"The first rule for a journalist in this situation is to say or do whatever you have to to get out of jail. Then make a beeline for the airport and get out of the country."
Mission accomplished.

Hairstyle with Angular Lines
This completely asymmetrical style features elements intended to play with texture, structure and shape. From the pillbox-hat-shaped bun off-centered at the top of the head, to the smoothly styled angular lines of the sides, to the woven chignon at the nape of the neck, these elements combine to create another hairstyle-as-artwork design.
The finished look is striking, both for its dramatic silhouette, and for the interplay between the soft, smooth styling and straight lines and the sleek, glossy curves and controlled curls.

Alicia Keys Wins Big at BET Awards, Chris Brown Breaks Down Onstage
It was a big night for hip hop and R&B artists as the 2010 BET Awards recognized the best in the business.
Hosted by Queen Latifah, the night was kicked off by presenting a pregnant Alicia Keys with the award for Best Female R&B artist. Keys also performed twice in the evening and won the award for Best Collaboration for her work with Jay-Z on the song "Empire State of Mind."
Other familiar faces to perform at the awards included Diddy, Monica, T.I., Eminem and Travis Barker.
Breakout rapper Drake won for Best Male Hip Hop artist, while Nicki Minaj won for Best Female Hip Hop Artist.
In one of his first performances since pleading guilty to felony assault in related to a domestic violence incident involving his then-girlfriend Rihanna, Chris Brown broke down during a tribute to the late Michael Jackson when he sang "Man in the Mirror." As he stepped off stage, he was consoled by Michael's brother Jermaine Jackson and given a standing ovation.
Later in the evening, Brown won the Fandemonium Award, saying in his acceptance speech, "I let you guys down before, but I promise I won't do it again." Rihanna also won the Viewer's Choice Award for her song with Young Jeezy titled "Hard." Young Jeezy accepted the award on her behalf.
Other people recognized at the event were Prince with the Lifetime Achievement Award, and athletes Lebron James and Serena Williams who received the Sportsman and Sportswoman of the Year awards. Trey Songz and his posse took the stage later on in the evening as he accepted the award for Best Male R&B Artist.

Frankfurt: Debt problems in both the US and Europe represent the biggest risks for the global economy in 2013, Nobel Prize laureate Joseph Stiglitz wrote in a newspaper article on Wednesday.
"In the outlook for 2013, the biggest risks for the global economy are in the US and in Europe," Stiglitz wrote in a guest column for the business daily Handelsblatt.
But "the real risk for the global economy lies in Europe", he warned.
"Spain and Greece are in an economic depression with no hope for a recovery. The eurozone's 'fiscal pact' is no solution, and the European Central Bank's (ECB's) bond purchase is a temporary palliative, at best," Stiglitz wrote.
And ECB must not impose further conditions for financial aid to countries, he continued.
"Otherwise, the medicine will lead to a deterioration in the patient's condition," Stiglitz argued.

Division One West
The sparse crowd that braved the January chill was treated to a feast of running rugby as both sides looked to run off the festive indulgences.
Ammanford started well and looked to be in fine form, gaining good ground from an excellent rolling maul.
The visitors indeed exerted some pressure on the home side in the opening period but were dealt a cruel blow when prop Liam Baker was carried off very early in the game. The injury unsettled them and Kidwelly capitalised on a missed tackle to score their first try wide out.
Almost from the restart they again created confusion in the Ammanford defence which opened up a clear run in for their second try, this time converted to give them a 12–0 advantage.
To add to Ammanford's woes, Gareth Owen followed Baker and limped off with a hamstring injury to be replaced by Steff Jones.
But then it was Ammanford's turn to spring into action and a dazzling run by Gary Stephens created an opening for the supporting Jake Simm to score in the corner, reducing arrears to 12–5.
In-discipline cost the visitors as they battled desperately to stem the Kidwelly riposte and Iwan Mainwaring saw yellow after incurring the wrath of the referee.
Kidwelly took advantage, converting two penalty goals to extend their lead.
Again Ammanford rallied and after several excellent phases created an opening for Steff Jones to crash through the defence for a try converted by Rhydian Morris and an interval score of 18-12.
Ammanford started the second half with purpose and were soon on the attack, asking questions of the Kidwelly defence and converting a penalty to reduce the arrears.
From a quick-penalty on their own 10metre line the ball was neatly switched to Dafydd Pritchard whose blistering pace took him through the defensive line into the opponents half. He off-loaded to the supporting Jake Simm who broke several tackles before recycling the ball for Gruff Jones to score in the corner.
Kidwelly responded positively and were very fortunate to be awarded a dubious try to regain the lead before a penalty try was awarded, effectively ending the Ammanford revival.
The hosts, good value for their victory, then ran in a decisive fifth touchdown which flattered them.
This was a very encouraging performance by the Ammanford youngsters who can look forward to better results in the coming weeks Ammanford were well served by Gary Stephens, who always looked dangerous, and man of the match Llyr Morris, who was a constant thorn in the Kidwelly defence.
Next Saturday Ammanford entertain league leaders Tondu in the first home game of 2013 and will be away at Waunarlwydd on January 19 in the next round of the SWALEC Plate competition.

When someone mentions a food plot, one's mind tends to think about a one to five acre area with lush greens full of deer foraging on high protein brassicas or grains. While these plots are great for feeding deer, they tend to be destination areas and not great spots to hunt mature bucks. Lets take a look at these big plots' little brother, what I call, the kill plot.
A kill plot has one purpose, just like the name implies, for killing a mature buck. Unlike big brother, these plots are small. In fact, size is the least of your concerns; in this case location is all that matters.
This past winter, while scouting a newly acquired piece of land, we located a major buck bedding area and not far away, a perfect spot for a kill plot. Within 100-125 yards of this bedding area was a small grassy opening, about 1/5 of an acre in size. Not only was this spot close to the bedding area, it was also close to a large beaver pond that the deer travel around when heading to feed in the larger fields about 500 yards away. Because of its proximity to the thick bedding area and the travel routes, we determined that this would be a spot that a mature buck would feel comfortable getting a snack at during light before he heads to the larger fields to feed for the night.
You can see the location of this Kill Plot is key. Its close to the buck bedding, a thick area and in a perfect travel corridor heading to the larger fields at night.
Had this small opening been in another spot, I probably wouldn't have given it a thought to put a kill plot in here. I have a number of spots on this property that look like potential locations for a kill plot, but they are just not in the right area. Doing your off season scouting and really mapping out your deer herd will go a long ways to help you pick the right spot for your kill plot.
Before we started on the Kill Plot, it was a grassy area that was going to need a lot of work.
Besides not picking the right location for a kill plot, another mistake a lot of hunters make is not preparing the area like they should. I do all of the same preparations on these small plots as I do on the larger ones, including spraying, discing, liming and fertilizing. This particular plot will be planted with a turnip, rape and lettuce mix. I'm not a big fan of heading to the local hardware store and picking out a throw and grow type of plot seed and hoping for the best. That little extra work to make sure your plot grows to its full potential and picking the right seed will pay huge dividends when the season rolls around.
We were fortunate enough to be able to get an ATV with a disc into this area. Had we not been able to, we would have made the extra effort and used a rototiller.
Proper soil preperation is also key to growing a quality Kill Plot. Liming and fertilizing are essential.
With the discing and liming done, this Kill Plot will be ready for one last light discing, planting and fertilizing in Mid-July.
You picked the spot, worked your tail off in 90-degree heat during the summer getting the kill plot ready, now its time to hunt it. Like any hunting spot, how and when you hunt your kill plot is going to be key.
During the early season, I will only hunt the kill plot during the evening. I'm not looking to catch a buck on his way back to the bedding area, only trying to catch him on his way to the fields to feed for the night. On this particular plot, there will be only one stand. There won't be options for different winds; it will only be hunted if all conditions are perfect. Being this close to the bedding area, extreme caution is also going to be needed when getting in and out.
During the rut, I will actually sit on a kill plot all day. Not only are bucks going to be using this plot throughout fall, but does will too. Again, with the location of the plot close to the bucks bedding area and them feeling secure in the plot, they will be checking for hot does during daylight hours.
It's still early July, so if you've thought about giving a kill plot a try for this fall, I highly encourage it, there's plenty of time. They may be small in size and hide in the big food plots' shadow, but their location gives them an edge big brother doesn't have.

New York City's Drama Desk-nominated Parallel Exit returns to the Joyce SoHo for the third time, to present the world premiere of I LOVE BOB, an evening-length comic ballet, from July 20-29, 2012 at 7:30pm at Joyce SoHo, 155 Mercer Street (between Houston & Prince). An additional performance has been added for Sunday, July 29, 2012 at 2pm. Tickets are $25 general admission ($15 student/senior) and are available by phone at JoyceCharge 212-242-0800 or online at joyce.org. The performance on Saturday, July 28 is a benefit and tickets are $150.
Inspired by the films City Lights and An American In Paris, Parallel Exit presents a brand new show filled with dance, tap, and physical comedy. Meet Bob. Everyone's favorite deliveryman. Bob's a superhero. Well, in his mind. He'll help you across the street. He'll rescue your cat from a tree. He'll give you the shirt off his back. Bob's got a huge heart. There's just one problem. He's a disaster. Find out what happens when Bob finds true love, crashes the stock market, gets a "makeover for life" and somehow rescues the Statue of Liberty. You'll love Bob too.
This new work was created by director Mark Lonergan, choreographer Ray Hesselink, and Tony Award-nominated composer Wayne Barker, and features an original score by Barker.

Getting Ready to Ask for a Big Gift
For any nonprofit, success means preparing volunteers, board members, and fund raisers alike to ask for big gifts. How much should solicitors talk, and when should they listen? What steps can an organization do to prepare the prospect beforehand?
Answering these questions in this month's podcast are Andrea Kihlstedt, a co-founder of Asking Matters and author of Capital Campaigns: Strategies that Work, and Megan Hodges, capital-campaign and major-gifts manager at Harlem RBI, a group that organizes tutoring and sports activities for children in East Harlem.
Check out the podcast and add a comment here about preparing volunteers and employees to ask for a large donation.

On Thursday, Gov. Rick Scott signed into law significant reforms to the Florida Retirement System, the state-run pension fund for 655,000 state and county employees. The governor said the changes were needed to bring state workers' benefits in line with the private sector, but the more immediate impact is a savings of $1.2 billion to the state budget. The changes take effect July 1. Here is a summary of the current law and what will change for current and future employees. — Mary Ellen Klas, Times/Herald Tallahassee Bureau
Current law:
• Employees pay no portion of their salaries into their retirement accounts. The retirement contribution is paid 100 percent by employers.
• Beginning July 1, 2011, all employees must contribute 3 percent of their pre-tax salaries into their retirement accounts, thereby saving the state the equivalent of that contribution. It is a net reduction in employee salaries and benefits.
• The contribution will be made by all members of the FRS, with either defined benefit or defined contribution plans.
Cost-of-living adjustments
Current law:
• Employees now accumulate an annual cost-of-living adjustment for their pension benefits based on their years of service, to be collected when they retire. For example, FRS members who retire before July 1, 2011, receive a 3 percent annual cost-of-living adjustment.
• Between July 1, 2011, and July 1, 2016, Florida Retirement System members will not accumulate years of service credits for their cost-of-living adjustments, thereby reducing their annual benefit.
• The change will affect employees differently, based on their years of service. For example, FRS members with 20 years of service or less who retire after July 1, 2011, will receive an additional 2.4 percent in cost of living benefits upon retirement. Members with more than 20 years of service who retire after July 1, 2011, will receive less than 3 percent, depending on how many years of service they have. A member who now has 22 years of service, for example, and retires in three years (2014) would receive a 2.6 percent adjustment.
DROP (Deferred Retirement Option Program)
Current law:
• Members who enter DROP before July 1, 2011, will earn 6.5 percent interest on the money set aside under the retirement program.
• Members who enter DROP after July 1 will earn 1.3 percent interest on the retirement money set aside in the program.
New hires — vesting and retirement age
Current law:
• Employees are eligible to be vested in the pension program after five years.
• Regular class, senior management class and elected officials class employees can receive normal retirement benefits if they retire after 62 years of age and 30 years of service. Special-risk class can retire after 55 years of age and 25 years of service.
• The average final compensation will be calculated on the best five years of salary.
• Employees hired after July 1, 2011, will vest after eight years.
• Employees hired after July 1 who are regular class, senior management class and elected officials class can receive normal retirement benefits if they retire after 65 years of age or 33 years of service. Special-risk class hired after July 1 can retire after 60 years of age or 30 years of service or, if they have served four years in the U.S. military, they can retire after 57 years of age and 30 years of service.
• The average final compensation will be calculated on the best eight years of salary.

IT has been 652 days since Whitefriars last raced and today he moves a step closer to a remarkable return to the track.
The Rick Worthington-trained galloper hasn't been sighted since beating former Australian Horse of the Year Typhoon Tracy in the Australia Stakes at Moonee Valley in January 2011.
But the seven-year-old gelding is pleasing all connected ahead of his trial at Warwick Farm this morning.
"He had pneumonia initially after he beat Typhoon Tracy, that was nine months to recover and then he had to have two throat operations," Worthington said. "It has been a slow road to recovery but he is coming along as well as we could hope.
"We've had him dynamic scoped and he is getting the air that he needs at this point, he is working well, most importantly he wants to do it, he really wants to get on with the job which is the most pleasing."
Worthington has no immediate plans with Whitefriars and is prepared to let him signal when he is ready to race without too much pressure.
"The trial will obviously tell us a lot to where he is at but I'd imagine he would have a second trial and then go from there," he said. "We have waited this long, there is no need to rush now."
Whitefriars' resurrection has also mirrored the return of Worthington, who has spent over a year rebuilding his personal life.
"Very sadly my wife and I separated about 14 months ago and I had to reconstruct my stable as a result," he said. "Basically I was left with a skeleton stable and I've had no runners at the races or some that haven't really been up to city standard.
"I am in a rebuilding phase now and realistically I am 12 to 18 months away from being back to where I want to be but things are looking up."
Worthington enjoyed a good win with the promising Golden Sunshine at Warwick Farm last Saturday, a filly he has a big opinion of.
"To win a maiden and go to a Class 1 is not an easy thing to do but I was prepared to throw her in the deep end because she is pretty good," he said.
"She is a filly that shows some promise and hopefully when she is seasoned, much further down the track, I'd like to see her run down the straight six at Flemington."

Vaughn Armstrong On Playing Human - At Last!By Lisa
September 14, 2001 - 8:16 PM
After years of playing just about every Trek alien in the book, Vaughn Armstrong finally gets to come out from behind the rubber in the first episode of Enterprise, 'Broken Bow.'
My role is Admiral Forrest, the head of Starfleet," the actor told IGN SciFi. "I guess the character is named after DeForest Kelley (Dr. McCoy) and I'm honoured to have such a handle."
How does the new show compare with the other Trek series the actor has worked on? "Well, it has some dirt - that's how it compares," Armstrong said. "Finally, everyone's not as clean as Next Generation and the other Star Treks were starting to get. Heck, they had two choices: they could either get cleaner with more technobabble, or go back. They seem to have made the right choice. It's all real. There are more buttons."
There is also the possibility that Admiral Forrest will be back on the show. "That's what they're sort of hinting at, but they're making no promises," he said. "But apparently whenever they come back to Earth, they've got to deal with me. I hope there will be a few times they will deal with me, as a face on a screen at least. I don't know if he'll be Earthbound forever, but he is the head of Starfleet so he is somebody."
More from Armstrong, including his thoughts on the cast, can be found in the original article at IGN SciFi.

Photo journalism from photographers
Photo journalism from photographers :
The World Press Photo exhibition showcases the best of press photography from across the globe. Annually, Amsterdam based World Press Photo organises a competition to select the best examples of photo-journalism from photographers, agencies, newspapers and magazines. Winning entries are selected by an international panel of independent judges from divergent backgrounds who bring a breadth of experience to the judging process. The Scottish Parliament exhibition will comprise 178 images drawn from news coverage of world events in 2006. The winning images were selected from 78,083 submitted by 4,460 photographers from 124 countries. Prizes were awarded to 60 photographers over 10 themed categories.
Photo journalism exhibition
Scottish Parliament's Presiding Officer said: "This world-class photojournalism exhibition proved a huge draw for visitors last year, attracting thousands into our building to see the thought-provoking images which lined the public foyer. I'm delighted that the World Press Photo exhibition is returning to Holyrood as part of this year's Festival of Politics. Photography will also feature prominently in this year's Festival of Politics line up, with internationally acclaimed photographer Harry Benson and former World Press Photo award winner Kieran Dodds discussing photojournalism on 25 August in Life of the Lens."
Photo journalism from photographers - Images
The aftermath of a petrol pipeline explosion in Nigeria, Darfur refugees on the Sudan-Chad border awaiting food distribution and bombed buildings in Lebanon during the Israeli Hezbollah conflict are just some of the images on display in this exhibition. The overall winner was US photographer Spencer Platt of Getty Images whose photograph depicts a group of affluent-looking young Lebanese driving through a South Beirut neighbourhood devastated by Israeli bombings. The image was taken on 15 August 2006, the first day of the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah when thousands of Lebanese started returning to their homes.
World Press Photo exhibition - Winners
Winners are drawn from 23 countries and the United Kingdom is represented by Alex Livesey of Getty Images for Sports who was awarded second prize in the Sports Action singles category for his picture of Liverpool striker Peter Crouch scoring against Galatasaray in a UEFA Champions League match. The awe-inspiring images will be on display from 3 August in the public Main Hall of the Scottish Parliament providing a taster for Festival of Politics audiences. Now in its third year, the Festival runs from 24 to 26 August with a diverse programme of events bringing together politics, media and the cultural industries. This year's line up includes the former Liberal Democrat party leader, Charles Kennedy MP, renowned BBC foreign correspondent Kate Adie and the internationally acclaimed Scottish photographer, Harry Benson.
World Press Photo exhibition - Photo journalism highlights
• This year's highlights include Tony Singh, award-winning head chef and founder of Oloroso and Clarissa Dickson-Wright, chef and broadcaster, discussing the issues and politics of food production and healthy eating.
• Nick Barley, Director of The Lighthouse, Scotland's National Architecture and Design Centre will chair a debate on Olympic and Commonwealth Games bids as a catalyst for urban regeneration.
• On Sunday 26 August the Festival of Politics will host an "open doors day" style event entitled Open Parliament. The event is free and visitors will be invited to explore behind the scenes at Holyrood.
World Press Photo - Photo journalism from photographers
The annual exhibition is shown each year at about 90 venues in 40 countries all over the world. This year's exhibition contains about 200 photographs. It is an annual public showcase for photojournalism comprising the year's winning photo, together with award-winning images from each of the ten contest categories. The high quality of photojournalism involved is considered to set a standard in the field. As a visual record of the previous year's events, the exhibition has popular appeal and attracts a significantly wider range of visitors than traditional art and photography exhibitions. World Press Photo is an independent, non-profit organization. Its offices are in Amsterdam, where World Press Photo was founded in 1955. Its main aim is to support and promote internationally the work of professional press photographers. Over the years, World Press Photo has evolved into an independent platform for photojournalism and the free exchange of information.
Press photography contest
In order to realise its objectives, World Press Photo organises the world's largest and most prestigious annual press photography contest. Educational projects play an important role in World Press Photo's activities. Seminars and workshops open to individual photographers, photo agencies and picture editors are organised in developing countries. The annual Joop Swart Masterclass, held in the Netherlands, is aimed at talented photographers at the start of their careers. They receive practical instruction and professional advice from leaders in the profession. World Press Photo receives support from the Dutch Postcode Lottery and is sponsored worldwide by Canon and TNT. The World Press Photo 2007 catalogue is available from the Parliament shop price £14.95.

First, I'd like to say how much I appreciated everyone's responses to my first post (or bloop, as I've been informed they're called!). For anyone currently stalking The Loop, I encourage you to start posting! The words of encouragement and support that people here offer really do get you pumped to get out there and hit the streets, even in those sometimes less than ideal winter weather conditions. So, a big thank you to everyone so far for all of the positive feedback!
In my first bloop, I gave a broad summary of my running background. Now for a quick run down on what I've been up to more recently. Despite my earlier discussed aversion to signing up for races, I actually did sign up for a half marathon that was supposed to take place this past October. After running two and three milers every couple of days through the late Spring and early Summer, I jumped into week 5 of a half marathon training plan in mid-August. I managed to get in a 12-miler (my longest training run ever) and a 22:13 solo 5k (my fastest adult 5k ever) before Congress stepped in to undermine what was going to be my first real post-high school race. Because a good portion of the race was through a national park, the government shutdown meant a race delay, and the rescheduled date ended up being for a weekend I'd be out of town for a wedding. Thanks, Congress.
Once it was discovered that the half marathon was a no-go, I dropped back to doing sporadic two and three mile runs, often with four or five lazy rest days in between. By the end of November, I had mentally recovered from my fast-tracked half marathon training and was ready to get back to it. And what better way than by streaking?! Now, I've already come up short compared to the true holiday streakers out there who are running from Thanksgiving through New Years. But, I did decide to challenge myself to complete a December streak. Because I'm really just trying to build a base and some much needed consistency, I've pretty much just been allowing my body to dictate the length and intensity of my runs once I'm out there. So far, so good.
Then I got out there. Despite my complete lack of initial motivation, my legs felt great. Without much thought, I went through the first mile at 8:21. I settled in and decided I'd just run what felt comfortable rather than staring at my watch. Mile 2 - 7:56. Oops. But I was still feeling good. I thought that maybe I could ease up a bit and stretch this out into a 4 miler. Challenge accepted; I was going for 4. Mile 3 - 8:07. Well, at this point I only needed a 7:54 to go sub-8:00 pace for the last three of these four miles. Why not? Challenge accepted; I started to push it. At the 3.5 mile mark I checked my watch; just over 7:30 pace so far for the final mile. Keep pushing and I could break 8:00 pace for the entire run. Challenge accepted (maybe I've been watching too much HIMYM?). I kept pushing. Mile 4 - 7:20.
My total time was 31:44; a 7:56 overall pace and my first ever (adult) sub-8:00 pace run for more than 3.1 miles. I'm definitely a little bit sore today, and I probably didn't need to push it so much, but it felt good to be able to see that I'm already making some progress (even if it wouldn't be much next to many of you!). As for the next couple of days, maybe I'll keep my watch face covered up... or at least learn to tone down the Barney Stinson mentality and exercise some self control. Happy running!
