Arquette celebrates one year of sobriety
Actor DAVID ARQUETTE is celebrating after successfully managing a year of sobriety following his stint in rehab.
The Scream star completed a four-week program in a rehabilitation facility in January (11) after entering the venue over the New Year weekend to receive treatment for "alcohol and other issues", following his separation from actress Courteney Cox in October last year (10).
Arquette has since undergone a lifestyle overhaul, competing on U.S. talent show Dancing with the Stars and moving on with a new girlfriend.
Now the star has reached 365 days alcohol-free, even refusing to take medication following a car crash in March (11) in order to stay clean.
In a post on Twitter.com, Arquette writes, "Today marks 1 year of sobriety for me. I thank God for the strength and guidance and my family and friends for their love and support & I TY (thank you)."

What book have you read, cover to cover — but for the life of you cannot recall a single detail from within its pages? The question itself may be a paradox, but we'd like to see if you can remember what you've forgotten.
Personally, there are two books I've read, and have a vivid recollection of reading, but have retained no memory of the plot, characters or theme. They are C.S. Lewis' The Silver Chair and Nalo Hopkinson's The Midnight Rider.
I grew up in a town next to Wheaton College. This means I was legally required to read the works of C.S. Lewis and then be sent on no less than seven different field trips to ogle his preserved writer's desk in the museum section of the campus. I read a ton of Lewis. I have no memory of The Silver Chair. Honestly? I'm OK with it.
Nalo Hopkinson's The Midnight Rider is another matter entirely. I read this novel during my final days at college. Unfortunately, I've only retained a few vague details about Granny Nanny. But I do remember enjoying it. I can remember loving the author's names for the protagonist Tan Tan and various universes like Toussaint and New Halfway Tree. So I'm re-reading it. Right now.
What book do you need to revisit? Please include the book cover or representative image, plus the title and how long ago you read it.

Methane—the Other Gusher in the Gulf—Concerns Scientists
By Mark Schrope
Methane, the major component of natural gas, is found in much lower concentrations in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, but it is about 25 times more potent as a greenhouse gas at trapping heat within the atmosphere. Researchers have long wondered whether sudden releases of methane from the seafloor, where in places it is heavily concentrated in ice formations known as hydrates, might have played a significant role in driving climate shifts over geological history. One idea is that changes in temperature or sea level rise could destabilize large swaths of hydrates, which stay frozen only under a narrow temperature and pressure range, releasing methane and affecting climate. But scientists have never been able to study such a potential release on a grand scale.
© Harold Shapiro
Peter Raymond
Enter the BP Deepwater Horizon catastrophe. While most of the focus has been on spilling oil, an estimated 40 to 50 percent of the material gushing out of the seafloor was methane. John Kessler, a geochemist at Texas A&M University, recognized this massive methane release as a useful, if unwelcome, tool for studying how the gas behaves when released in large quantities into the sea. Kessler asked Peter Raymond, professor of ecosystem ecology at F&ES, to join a team that would explore the issue with funding from the National Science Foundation.
The key question was what would happen to the methane. Many people have assumed that methane released in large quantities could make its way relatively quickly into the atmosphere. But the expedition team found something very different. With the spill still under way, they detected methane concentrations in deep waters many thousands of times higher and, in some cases, nearly a million times higher than normal. But the researchers could find no signs of higher-than-normal methane in surface waters despite hundreds of thousands of measurements across a huge area surrounding the spill zone. "That was really surprising to me," said Kessler.
The team's working conclusion was that methane was remaining in the deep waters, possibly being consumed by bacteria. The team still has much work to do before it can gauge what this says about history. It may be a little methane released in the deep sea that reaches the surface. However, it's also possible that the team, despite its extensive search, missed the areas where methane was making it to the surface or that methane is making its way to the surface slowly—meaning in geologic terms, that it could take hundreds of years or even thousands of years and still be important. "Any methane that isn't consumed could eventually make it to the atmosphere," said Raymond. And, of course, shallow methane releases could behave quite differently.
The results also countered an argument made by BP officials that there was no methane trapped in deep waters. They said repeatedly that measurements in deep waters were simply of methane on its way to the surface. But if that were the case, then high levels of methane should have been found in surface waters.
Raymond's job will be to analyze seawater samples that the team collected for their carbon-14 levels. Normally carbon in ocean water contains measurable amounts of the radioactive variation known as carbon-14. But methane and oil released from within the seafloor are so old that they have no carbon-14, because it decays over time. Raymond's seawater analyses will measure carbon-14 both from any oil dissolved in the seawater and from the organic materials exuded in various forms by plankton and other organisms that might be consuming oil or methane in the water. This will provide a broad estimate of how much oil and gas were in the system in areas where researchers collected seawater samples.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Company Harassed and Underpaid a Black Maintenance Worker Because of Race, Federal Agency Charged
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – A producer of pork sausage products located in Union City, Tenn., will pay $60,000 and furnish other relief to settle a wage discrimination and racial harassment lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
In its lawsuit, the EEOC charged that Williams Country Sausage violated federal law by paying an African-American maintenance worker less than white counterparts and subjecting him to a hostile work environment. The EEOC asserted that Williams Country Sausage gave raises and paid higher salaries to all maintenance department employees except the department's lone African-American employee and allowed a supervisor to regularly use racially offensive language toward the employee because of racial animus.
Racial discrimination violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit, Civil Action No. 1:10-CV-01263, in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee, Eastern Division after first attempting to settle the matter through its conciliation process.
In addition to monetary relief, the five-year consent decree settling the lawsuit enjoins Williams Country Sausage from further discriminating against employees on the basis of race. The decree requires annual training on employee rights under Title VII and requires Williams Country Sausage to maintain records of racial harassment complaints and provide annual reports to the EEOC. The decree also requires Williams Country Sausage to establish and enforce a written policy that will ensure that employees are protected from discrimination and post a notice to all employees about the lawsuit that provides the EEOC's contact information.
"Sadly, race discrimination continues to exist in the workplace where workers are paid less and forced to endure a racially hostile work environment," said Faye A. Williams, regional attorney for the EEOC's Memphis District Office, which has jurisdiction over Arkansas, Tennessee and portions of Mississippi. "It is a violation of federal law and the EEOC will continue to forcefully fight against this type of misconduct."
Williams Country Sausage, a Tennessee corporation with a production facility in Union City, Tenn., processes meat and produces breakfast pork sausage products and sausage biscuit sandwiches for retail sale.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Discover! Simulations
Looking at Earth
1. Get Set to Explore
- material: Something that makes up something else.
- river: A stream of water that flows into a lake or the ocean.
- soil: The loose top layer of the earth; soil is made of bits of many different things, including rock and plant and animal parts.
Building Background
- Explain that the word earth has two different meanings. When it starts with a capital letter E, it refers to our planet. You may wish to show children a globe; guide them to understand that the globe shows what Earth looks like. When the word earth starts with a small letter e, it generally refers to land or to the soil. Define soil for children. Explain that in this Science Unit, when they hear the word Earth, they should take it to mean the planet.
- Define the word material. Ask children to name different kinds of materials. Guide them to understand that solids, air, and water are also materials.
- Pass around a globe for children to look at. Ask children to note some materials that make up some of the different features of Earth. List their ideas on the board, and keep the list up so that you can refer to it after children complete the simulation.
- Present the Discover! question: What materials make up our Earth? Let children add to the list on the board, if they wish.
2. Guide the Exploration
- Have children launch the Discover! Simulation and listen closely to the question and the directions.
- Make sure that children understand that they need to click the buttons in the picture to learn more about the materials that make up our Earth. If necessary, demonstrate how to click one of the buttons. After they click each button, children should listen carefully to the information about Earth and about the materials.
- Tell children to make sure that they click all six buttons in the picture.
- When children have finished clicking all the buttons, return to the Discover! question and to the list children made before launching the simulation. Let children add to or revise the list, based on what they learned from clicking the buttons.
3. Review/Assess
- Read the first sentence of Step 3's Wrap-Up text to the class: Earth is made of rock, soil, water and air. Elicit where these materials are found in the picture. Then, review the rest of the Wrap-up text. Give children a chance to ask any questions that they have and help clarify concepts for them.
- To reinforce learning, you can show children the globe again. Ask them to point to features made mainly of soil (most landmasses, especially plains); have them identify features made mainly of rock (mountains are a good example); let them point to a variety of features made of water (the oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, marshes, and so forth). Explain that air makes a thin layer all around the planet.
- Direct children to look out the window. Then, pose the Extension question: What materials do you see? Guide children to note examples of soil, air, water, and rock. If necessary, show children pictures where they can pick out each of these materials.
If time permits, present children with the following questions:
- Inquiry Skill: Ask Questions Think about the different materials you have learned about, and think about different places on Earth that you know. What questions do you have about the features of our Earth and the materials that make them up? Answer: Children might wonder about different kinds of rocks, different kinds of water, different kinds of soil, and what makes up the air. Encourage each child to formulate two or three questions. Let children share their questions. Through class discussion, encourage children to think of ways they might find answers to some of these questions.
- Critical Thinking: Evaluate Clouds are made up of millions of very tiny drops of water. These tiny drops bunch together to form a cloud. What experience do you have that tells you that clouds are made of water? Answer: Rain, which is made of water, falls from clouds.
4. Reaching All Learners
English Language Learners
Find pictures of the home countries of your English Language Learners. You might ask these children to bring in their pictures of the country. Talk with English Language Learners about different materials they can find in the pictures. Make sure the children understand what rock, soil, and water are. Once you are sure children can correctly identify the different materials in the pictures and can pronounce the words clearly, let them share the pictures with one or two other children. Ask English Language Learners to point out different materials in the pictures. Encourage other children to ask questions or to point out different materials that they notice in these pictures.

Overview of Content Experiments
Elements of an Experiment
The Ingredients
Experiments require:
- Different versions of your web pages to serve to your users.
- Goals that you've set up in Analytics.
- Ecommerce tracking if you want to use those metrics as objectives.
Each experiment page is measured according to the percentage of users who view the page and accomplish the goal.
Page Elements You can Test
Create different versions of your web pages to test:
- Headlines and headers
- Images and icons
- Text
- Calls to action
- Page layout
Analytics Goals You can Use in Experiments
You can set up goals in Analytics, and then use those goals as the basis for your experiments.
- URL Destination goals
An experiment that uses a URL Destination goal focuses on getting users to view a specific web page.
Use this kind of goal to find out things like how well your test pages encourages users along a path to a product page, a page that includes the location of your business, or pages on which you're selling ads.
- Event goals
An experiment that uses an event goal focuses on getting users to perform a specific action on a page.
Use this kind of goal to find out things like how well your test pages encourages users to sign up for a newsletter, view a video, or click Add to Cart for a product.
- Session Duration goals
Use this kind of goal to see how well your test pages encourage users to spend at least the minimum amount of time you want on your site. For example, if you're running a news site, you want to see that users are spending enough time to read the articles, and enough time to validate the rates you charge for advertisements.
- Pages per Session goals
Like session-duration goals, pages-per-session goals help you understand whether users are consuming the amount of content you want. Are they browsing enough product pages; are they reading articles in the political, sports, and lifestyle sections?
Analytics Metrics You can use in Experiments
In addition to goals, you can use any other available metric as objective for your experiment. For example, you can test which page leads to a decrease in bounce rate, or to the greatest increase in revenue or session duration.
Experiments looks for the variation that best decreases bounce rate, and for the variation that best increases the values of all other metrics.
In order to use ecommerce metrics in an experiment, you must have Ecommerce Tracking enabled for that view.
In order to use ecommerce metrics in an experiment, you must have Ecommerce Tracking enabled for that view.
Testing Guidelines
To get faster and more reliable results:
- Test only a few elements
If you change multiple elements on each page, it can be difficult to figure out which element or combination of elements was responsible for the best results. For example, create multiple pages but change only the main image on each page, and keep the same layout and text to ensure that any difference between the page results is due to the image.
- Use high-volume pages
The more often that people see a page or complete a goal, the less time it takes to gather data.
- Make bold changes
Users can miss small changes and you can end up with inconclusive results.
- Keep testing
With follow-up testing, you can build on the success of your experiment. Did one headline encourage a lot more purchases? If so, test it alongside a product image or an image of a spokesperson.
Next steps
- Understand Analytics goals.
- Learn how to set up Analytics goals.
- Read our guide to setting up experiments.

Death row inmate Danny Robbie Hembree has taken a plea deal this morning in a second killing and had a third murder charge dismissed.
Three years and two months after Danny Robbie Hembree confessed to choking the lives out of at least two women, he pleaded guilty Tuesday to second-degree murder.
Hembree was sentenced to more than 26 years in prison for killing Randi Dean Saldana.
Hembree has already been sentenced to death for killing 17-year-old Heather Marie Catterton.
A third murder charge in the 1992 killing of Deborah Ratchford was dismissed as part of a plea arrangement.
The death row inmate, now 51, has no further trials in Gaston County, where he was in court Tuesday.
The 2009 killings
A jury gave Hembree a death sentence in November 2011 for suffocating Catterton in October 2009 and leaving her partially nude body in a culvert in South Carolina.
Hembree went on trial again in March 2012 for killing Saldana.
Saldana, 30, was found dead in York, S.C., just two weeks after Catterton�s body was discovered.
Hembree killed both women in his mother�s house then stored their bodies in the basement before discarding them.
A judge declared a mistrial in the trial for Saldana�s killing after Hembree alleged an improper relationship with a Gaston County prosecutor.
He was scheduled to go on trial again for the slaying next month.
The plea arrangement
Saldana�s sister, Shellie Nations, spoke continuously during Hembree�s trials.
She did the same before Hembree was sentenced Tuesday. She read from a letter in court, her hands trembling. At one point Nations broke into tears and had to sit down.
Nations called Hembree a monster and a murderer, but said she forgave him for killing her only sister.
�Danny, we forgive you. I have to or else I will spend eternity in hell with you,� she said. �In my eyes you have no regard for human life.�
No other family members chose to speak. Danny also declined to address the court.
Both defense attorney Ted Cummings and Assistant District Attorney Stephanie Hamlin said the plea arrangement was agreed upon to spare the families any further heartache.
District Attorney Locke Bell said he accepted the plea deal because it ensured him that Hembree would die in prison.
�This sentence is a guarantee that he will stay in prison for the rest of his life,� said Bell.
In addition to the death penalty sentence, Hembree is serving more than a decade for armed robbery convictions in Cabarrus and Mecklenburg counties.
Bell said that if by some chance the death conviction is overturned in the future, Hembree will still serve 26 years for killing Saldana on top of the time for the robberies.
The unsolved case
Hembree made a habit of confessing to crimes. Prosecutors and defense attorneys have said so in court.
He used the tactic to distract detectives when he was picked up on other charges.
Bell said Hembree�s confession in the killing of 30-year-old Deborah Ratchford was a false claim.
Until Tuesday, Hembree still faced a first-degree murder charge in the case. Bell dismissed that charge as part of the plea arrangement, but Bell said it wasn�t a compromise.
�I dismissed it because I wasn�t going to prosecute it anyway,� Bell said. �Danny Hembree did not do that one. We investigated it, and he did not do it.�
Ratchford�s case remains unsolved.
The Gaston County woman�s body was found in a Gastonia cemetery in 1992. She died from cuts to her neck and chest.
Bell said he�s not dropping the matter just yet.
�The person that we think did it I have been told is dead, and I�m going to be checking into that to see if he is in fact deceased,� said Bell.

March 21st is both the first day of spring and Navroz (Persian New Year). To learn more about the holiday, please see my blog post for kuku, a herb frittata commonly made for the occasion.
Several recent films have featured Persian characters or culture. The 2004 Oscar-winning Crash depicted an Iranian-American shop owner and his daughter. The 2007 action film 300 portrayed the ancient victory of the Spartans over the Persian King Xerxes and his army. That same year, the animated film Persepolis depicted the coming-of-age of a young Iranian woman. Last year marked the release of A Separation, which follows the separation of a middle class couple in Tehran. This January, the film won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, becoming the first Iranian film to garner that honor.
Persia has also recently shown up in television. The current show 90210 features a Persian American character named Navid Shirazi and I recently learned of a new reality show – the Shahs of Sunset – about some members of the Persian community in Southern California.
The interest is beginning to extend to Persian cuisine which is becoming increasingly popular in North America. Even some South Asian dishes – including biryani – have their origins in Iran. One of my favorite dishes is this rich and sweet chicken stew made with walnuts and pomegranates. This is an easy and forgiving dish; it can be made several days in advance and will last for about a week.
Serves 8
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 pounds skinless chicken or duck legs or thighs (dark meat is better than white meat)
2 onions, roughly diced
2 cups walnuts, finely ground
2 cups chicken stock
2/3 cup pomegranate molasses
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2-3 teaspoons salt or to taste
black pepper, to taste
2-3 tablespoon sugar or to taste
pomegranate arils, fresh dill, or lemon zest (optional)
1. In a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, brown chicken in olive oil. Remove and reserve on a plate.
2. Add onions to pot and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add walnuts, stock, and browned chicken. Bring to a boil; simmer covered for 30 minutes.
4. Add pomegranate molasses, cardamom, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Simmer covered for a further 60 minutes. The sauce will thicken and turn dark brown in color. The meat may come off the bone or you can pull it off the bones as it softens. In either case, discard the bones.
5. Add sugar, if desired, and adjust other seasonings. Simmer for 15 more minutes.
6. Garnish with one or more of the following - pomegranate arils, fresh dill, and lemon zest.
7. Serve with basmati rice (plain, dill or sour cherry) or couscous.

Creepiest Websites of the Day
Obviously, it goes without saying that Radical Islam and Scientology are by far and away the two greatest threats to our way of life and collective mental health in the world today. And it is right that they receive as much coverage as they do. However, I'd like to share a few links that are worth visiting briefly if you're the kind of person who enjoys feeling creeped out at the gradual realisation that there's a whole subculture of influential organisations out there devoted to fucking with everyone's heads for God knows what purpose...
Phew, it's just as well that so many ordinary people are aware of the kind of things these outfits do and know what to look out for.

"According to the conspiracy-obsessed Lyndon LaRouche network and author Dr. John Coleman Committee of 300, the Tavistock Institute is a major component of the vast, secret, timeless, conspiracy that controls everything. The London bombs of July 2005 are believed by conspiracy theorists to have been connected in some way to the Tavistock Institute. One of the July 7 bombs (the bus bomb) blew up on Tavistock Square, just metres from the original site of the Tavistock Clinic, the forerunner of the Institute. Bizarrely, two of the failed London bombers (the alleged planters of the July 21 bombs) were subsequently arrested by police in Tavistock Crescent."

@ant - so, you've noticed the 'conspiraloon' update. It seemed only reasonable what with everything that's going on. I was also toying with emphasising the fact that I actually do come from London but decided that would be petty. True but petty

Of course I noticed, Stef, none of us got where we are today without noticing trainspotter-like details that significantly affect the bigger picture.
It's about time the word 'Conspiraloon'™ was reclaimed and transformed from the futile and meaningless insult it is meant to be into what it actually is, the power of observing small groups of well-connected folk undertaking 'business as usual' who expect the great unwashed masses not to notice as they swan, practically unchecked, about the world making plans for even more 'business as usual' without let or hindrance from the great unwashed masses.
Perhaps a 'Conspiraloon'™ web ring might be in order which would at least include the estimable characters listed on my blog under the heading of Compañeros del Antagonista.

WTF!? Who said anything about posting anything?
Just in case neither of you has actually seen Clerks 2 the abject a failure of a guy attempting to reclaim the term 'porch monkey' is a constant source of amusement throughout the second half of the film
I would suggest that the proportion of people out there who would comprehend that labelling yourself a conspiraloon is an ironic way of stating 'OK, now we've got the insults out of the way do you have actually have anything else to back up what you're saying?' is small. The majority would simply think you weren't being serious in your pursuit of serious matters
The fact that the founding blogs of the Alliance would compromise one serious blog, one personal photoblog that has lost its way and an empty blog created for the occasion would seem to bear this out
Any impartial observer with a gambling problem would right now be mortgaging their home, cashing in any trust funds and betting heavily on the Forces of Darkness

In a perfect world, there would be no need for ethics laws.
Everyone would be honest, straightforward, above board in all things.
Alas, this world is far from perfect � especially when it comes to politics and politicians.
North Carolina�s updated ethics law requires anyone making decisions about roads to disclose his or her finances and business associations as well as those of the person�s immediate family and extended family living under the same roof. The information becomes a public record accessible to anyone who wants to see it.
The new requirement has some local municipal office-holders who sit on transportation planning boards � and others across the state � cranked up, claiming their privacy is being invaded.
The local legislative delegation counters that the required transparency is a good thing.
The lawmakers are right.
Transparency is the cornerstone of a free society, providing those who are the government � the people � full access to their government and to those who govern. Without openness, there is greater danger of corruption by bureaucrats, politicians and those equipped to win political favors.
The ethics law disclosures are aimed at preventing those with power and influence on road construction to benefit by their decisions.
The issue came to light in Gaston County a few years back when media reported on politicians who owned land that would be opened for development by construction of the Garden Parkway. By voting for the parkway, some said, the politicians� land increased in value.
The updated ethics law � it becomes effective next year � already has one politician stepping down from the local transportation board.
Cramerton Councilman Houston Helms says he�ll resign rather than provide the information. Gastonia council member David Kirlin says he�ll meet the requirement, but reluctantly even though he provides the same information through his professional affiliation.
Kirlin makes a valid point that the new requirement does not guarantee honesty and accuracy. He�s right. A bad apple always will find a way to be a bad apple. For every law a legislature passes, someone almost always will find a way around it.
Access to information through the use of technology, however, makes it easier than ever to check and cross-check data. It�s likely that false information could be spotted, the bad apple identified and removed from the position of power.
Without transparency, the bad apple would have cover.
It would be better to live in that perfect world where everyone told the truth and never used political power and influence for personal gain.
That world, unfortunately, does not exist and the North Carolina General Assembly members are right to mandate greater transparency at all levels of government.

Current Law Students / Re: Does anyone think class rankings are the wrong way to measure students?« on: September 13, 2010, 05:21:33 AM »
There must be some easily applicable standard for judging applicants. Academic excellence seems as good a measure as anything else. I disagree with your opinion about those tests being meaningless. The ability to issue spot and apply the law under time constraints is a skill that should be useful to a new associate with a busy caseload, or to a litigator who must be able to immediately understand when it makes sense to stand up and object. But, yes, I agree--the way employers judge applicants isn't totally fair. Maybe you'll come up with your own, better, system when you're a managing partner somewhere someday.


text: Real Estate in Africa: Eight things you need to know Share this 22 APR 2016 Insight from CBRE/DLA Piper survey to help potential investors in African real estate bridge the gap between perception and reality 1. Real estate markets in parts of Africa have undergone considerable improvement in recent years, with growing economies, favourable demographics and increasing political stability attracting a range of investor types. 2. The quality of stock is improving, driven principally by international occupiers whose requirements and corporate governance are dictating that building design, materials and environmental considerations all comply with their global standards. The quality of stock is improving, driven principally by international occupiers 3. Variability in market conditions, including supply, and in the prevalence of well-established financial and legal systems mean that rigorous due diligence is essential. The availability of viable and robust investment structures is a further consideration for prospective investors. Local experience and representation are vital in most markets. 4. Overreliance on natural resources, reluctance to diversify and the consequent volatility of local markets and currencies is having a detrimental short-term effect on the credibility and attractiveness of several oil dependent markets. 5. Size and maturity dictate the markets that offer most opportunity for investors, but there are other countries such as Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania and Côte D'Ivoire that are becoming more attractive investment destinations. 6. The steps needed to accelerate this process include greater legal and market transparency, as well as improved valuation and easier capital repatriation. 7. Real Estate valuation in Africa often confronts a range of unusual factors, including a shortage of comparables, rapid supply changes, currency volatility and price spikes at the upper end of the market. Process rigour to establish clean title is particularly vital. Countries such as Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania and Côte D'Ivoire are becoming more attractive investment destinations 8. Capital repatriation and foreign exchange present challenges to investors, with regulatory restrictions in place in some countries. Advance planning and adherence to national and local regulations are essential. Above all investors will need to devise flexible long-term strategies for capital repatriation well ahead of deployment. More information on the points above can be found in the DLA Piper/CBRE Real Estate Investment in Africa report.

Austin Scratches Out Double Overtime Win Over Skyforce
Starting a sports story by dissecting a key decision by the officials late in a close game is a dangerous proposition. In this case, the mention is warranted because the correct call was made and the Austin Toros gained a 130-127 double overtime win over the Sioux Falls Skyforce as a result.
In that pivotal sequence, the game was tied with under ten seconds left in regulation. Sioux Falls stole the ball, bull rushing toward a potential winning bucket. A first layup attempt by Larry Drew missed and a follow-up attempt by Tajuan Porter was swatted away and two officials called goaltending. With just fractions of a second left if the call stands, the Skyforce likely win the game. The third official saw the ball nick the rim on the way up. At that point, the international goaltending rule applies in the NBADL. The ball can then be diverted by a defensive player.
In real time with a partisan crowd of 3,230 inside the Sanford Pentagon certain of what they saw, those brave souls judged correctly as shown in the highlight clip below. The ball's trajectory is slightly altered before sent away by former Skyforce center Dexter Pittman. What you will also see in the highlights was a three by Henry Walker that sent the game to the second extra session.
The Toros (14-19) had just a little bit more hustle to grab their own misses in double overtime and victory was their reward. Pittman was a beast in the paint with 28 points and 17 rebounds and the other former Skyforce player who made a triumphant return was Charlie Westbrook who logged 24 points. Sioux Falls (20-14) was led by Walker's 29 points with 6 rebounds, followed by Justin Hamilton's contribution of 25 points and 8 rebounds.
The final game in this Skyforce 4-city sequence this week ends in Fort Wayne for a Saturday night tussle. Austin will boogie back to Texas for a home date with Santa Cruz on Sunday.

Most summer camps host kayaking, arts and crafts classes and campfires, but what makes Camp Quest Northwest different is that it is literally "beyond belief."
Located just north of Seattle, Camp Quest Northwest is a summer camp for atheists or children of atheists, self-described "freethinkers" or people not otherwise traditionally religious.
"We would encourage them to read, to go to church," said Chuck Wolber, one of Camp Quest Northwest's founders. "The best way to become an atheist is to study the Bible, and I definitely recommend the kids do that."
Watch the full story on "Nightline" tonight at 11:35 p.m. ET
The secular sleepaway camp rents the area from a Christian camp, so camp officials cover any signs saying "Lord" or "God" with masking tape, and replace those words with fantasy-like words, such as "Flying Spaghetti Monster," which they use to emphasize the imaginary nature of God.
The camp hosts different sessions, such as the Socrates Cafe, where campers are free to discuss anything on their minds, from the age-old question of "where do we come from?" to how to handle bullies who pick on them because of their agnostic beliefs.
"It's amazing. I love it here," said a 9-year-old camper named Elle. "With certain people, you have to limit yourself or feel socially obligated. This feels nice to be here and not have to limit yourself and know you won't be bullied or hurt."
Camper Chandler Garry is like most 11-year-old boys, except he calls himself an atheist. He said he doesn't have an answer for why he doesn't believe in God, other than he hasn't seen proof that God exists.
"All of my friends are Christian," he said. "Sometimes I do get bullied because of that, because I'm an atheist."
Chandler said he has occasionally been curious about other religions, but he insisted that he came to his conclusion about God on his own, separate and apart from his parents, Matt and Karen Garry. Matt was raised Jewish and Karen was raised Christian, but now both identify as atheists and decided early on to raise their kids in a God-less household.
"We wanted to raise our kids to make their own decisions," Karen Garry said. "If our children decided they wanted to be Jewish, fine, not a problem. We would love them just as much as if they were atheist or whatever, Buddhist. We just wanted them to be good, happy people."
"It was always very important to me to teach them about the scientific method; if something is provable, you have a hypothesis and you theorize, find a solution for it," Matt Garry said. "It boils down to when someone is sick or very sick or hurt, we don't pray to God, we pray to doctors and to the science that is going to fix them."
At Camp Quest, religion, in some form, is often a topic of discussion, but here they believe more in talking about evolution and logic. They think critically and question everything, and they don't believe in God.
Several of the campers said they had been exposed to religion through family, and some said their parents had been raised in religious households, and then chose to become atheists.
"Some of my family is Catholic so I've gone to a wedding and a funeral," said a 13-year-old camper named Bailey. "I understand how they might want to believe in something like that, but I don't really understand it."
Other campers believe people use God as a catch-all explanation for life's events, but they still have questions.
"They don't really know, when they think about when [and] how they were here," Elle said. "They have to find something to explain why was the first human here on Earth, and their answer, their go-to is God, he made them."
Despite her young age, Elle arguably knows as much about the Bible as many of her peers but said God is something she would have to see to believe.
"Personally, I don't believe in him, but if he were to come down and do something really amazing, I would be able to accept that he exists," she said.
The majority of Americans still identify themselves as Christian, but a survey from the 2008 U.S. Census reveals that more than 34 million Americans consider themselves agnostic, atheist or to have no religion. That number has more than doubled since 1990.
The first Camp Quest started in 1996 in Kentucky with 20 campers. Camp Quest Northwest, which opened this summer, is the 15th Camp Quest location and this year, camp enrollment exceeded 620 campers, more than twice the number of campers than two years ago.
But Lisa Miller, a clinical psychologist whose research focuses on the spiritual awareness of children, said these Camp Quest campers, some of whom are as young as 8 years old, are too young to attend such a camp. In her experience, Miller said children who have belief and religion at home are healthier and that religion can be incredibly valuable.
However, several campers described Camp Quest as a support group of sorts and that this was a place where they are free to be themselves.
"I don't have any atheist friends or anything," Chandler Garry said. "So I would like to maybe make a couple of friends that live near me that I could actually go to their house and have dinner, not have to pray before eating. ? I can actually be the same as them and not have their parents hate me or whatever because I'm an atheist."

Spiritually Health
Get rid of what enslaves you. Find spiritual health and well-being by discovering personal freedom. Don't be defeated by your life circumstances. Here's how to change your life for good.
Inspired by Rabbi Karyn Kedar's new book, "Omer: A Counting"
Written by Susan Diamond, Prayables
1. Decide
Moses asked, Who am. I that I should go? And God said, I will be with you.
Exodus 3:11-12
Make a decision to begin the process of releasing your personal freedom. Today is the day you start the rest of a new life. A life better and brighter than the life you lived yesterday. Be strong. Be sure. You're going to do this thing.
"So often, the problem is not the call but rather the response. The twin enemies, fatigue and fear, are ever-pervasive." ~Omer: A Counting
2. Discern
And Moses asked, What is his name? What shall I say? And God answered, Tell them that Ehyeah, I am and I will be, Sent me to You.
Exodus 3:13-14
Recognize the right voice, the worthy voice among the many you hear in your head. Get rid of the clutter that pulls you in all direction. This is the day you know your own mind. This is the start of a new plan that will move you forward toward freedom.
"Not all that is said is useful, not all that is learned is helpful, and not all who call us "friend" love us."
~Omer: A Counting
3. Choose
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you; life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life; that you and your children may live.
Deuteronomy 30:19
You've narrowed it down. You've used discernment and you hear the one pure voice gently urging you toward the right choice. Own it. Make a conscious choice that the one thing that enslaves you will be the one thing to eliminate completely from your life
"Daily, moment by moment, life is a sequence of choices. We choose to act or not, to react or not. What we believe, how we feel, boredom, passion, and kindness don't merely happen to us, they are all choices we make."
~Omer: A Counting
4. Hope
And God said, I will take you out of the misery of Egypt.
Exodus 3:17
Get excited. There is hope for a future free from whatever it is that enslaves you. This thing that you are working on will surely be a thing of the past. Anticipate what lies ahead with no reservations.
"You believe with the strength of your character and with determination, you can mend what is broken."
~Omer: A Counting
5. Imagine
And God said, I will take you to a land flowing with milk and honey.
Exodus 3:17
You need to see a grand and glorious vision of your life without that which drags you down. Close your eyes. Fire up your imagination and picture it: Look past your reality and define a new normal, one that makes you happy and free.
"This is the secret to our power: To imagine! And then to create! To step out of the darkness that blinds us to possibility."
~Omer: A Counting
6. Courage
And Moses, afraid, pleaded, Please, O Lord I have never been a man of words… I am slow of speech and slow of tongue. And God simply said, Who gives man speech? What makes him dumb or deaf, seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?
Exodus 4:10-11
It takes courage to face your darker side and faith to do something about it. It's a natural progression to go from the decision to eliminate what enslaves you, to arrive at the point where you're actually ready to do something about it. God is with you all along the way. You can't fail. Be strong, be brave, have courage.
"Such is the ironic fact of human nature: we protect our deficiencies and hide our inadequacies. But perhaps it should be the opposite. Perhaps we should protect our gifts, cherishing the good within us and reveal our doubts, asking for help and support. That would take courage."
~Omer: A Counting
7. Pray
Moses and Aaron said to Pharaoh; Let my people go that they may celebrate a festival for me in the Wilderness.
Exodus 5:1
Prayer is an expression of personal freedom. It's essential to spiritual health. You become more aware of what is necessary and what is not. You receive strength in prayer. You touch God in prayer. Be done with what enslaves you, and celebrate with prayer.
"Have an active conversation with the invisible: doubt and argue, dream add beg, ask for help, ask for forgiveness, and offer gratitude. Shout at the heavens when you despair and raise your voice in song when you rejoice."
~Omer: A Counting
You Can Have a Better Marriage
By Susan Diamond, Prayables
Some people have a stupendous, fireworks on the Fourth of July marriage. Others have a miserable, cry me a river marriage that really stinks. The rest, fit not-so-neatly in-between. How to have a better marriage? It's not as hard as you'd think when you take 5 days to work on your marriage.
Day 1 to a Better Marriage: Surround Yourself With Happy Married People
Make an "Influencer List." Think about the people in your life who are happy in their marriage. You know how to spot the ones who are truly happy. They don't belittle their spouse with sarcasm; embarrass them by pointing out flaws in public. They're the ones who laugh at their spouse's jokes, and have a hard time restraining a kiss or a caress for no good reason. When your list is complete, call the one on top just to say hello. As best as possible, avoid anyone not on the Influencer List for the next five days. Surround yourself with the people in your life who have a better marriage.
Happy married people now surround you.
Day 2 to a Better Marriage: New Attitude
Now that you've made your outside influences marriage-friendly it's time to work on your inner influences. Negative thoughts, sensitivity, (the bad kind) and personal irritations have no place in your new attitude toward your spouse. Only think positive thoughts. Shrug off any "shoulda-couldas" before they take hold, and brush away irritation like you would a pesky fly. There is no place in your head for anything but good and happy thoughts about your spouse.
Happy married people now surround you, and you have a new positive attitude towards your spouse.
Day 3 to a Better Marriage: Nothing But Kindness
Treat your spouse with the same level of customer service you get from your favorite Barrista at Starbucks. Imagine your marriage is a business deal, and your spouse is a million-dollar client. Borrow a corporate mission statement and make it work to improve your marriage: Exceed expectations. Be polite, cheerful, and considerate. Throw in some perks. The "customer" is always right when you're spending five days to a better marriage.
Happy married people surround you, you have a positive attitude, and you're providing your spouse with nothing but kindness.
Day 4 to a Better Marriage: Talk it Up
Brag about your spouse to someone who cares. Find something nice to say about your spouse and tell it to a good friend, parent, or child. You'll have a better marriage when the right people are talking about the right things when it comes to your spouse. Chances are your words of admiration will get back to your spouse and create ripples of good feelings.
Happy married people surround you, you have a positive attitude, you're extra kind, and today you've bragged to someone who loves your spouse.
Day 5 to a Better Marriage: Be Practical
Look at your marriage from the outside in. Studies show that looking at problems and situations objectively through the eyes of a third person brings clarity. On the final day of your "Better Marriage Plan" you're ready to make an assessment.
– How would a neutral observer rate your relationship in the following areas: love, trust, intimacy, passion, and commitment?
– Write down a factual summary of your last disagreement. No emotions, no opinions – just the facts.
– Take an overall look at your marital happiness. Remember, this is an outsider looking in.
Result: A Better Marriage
Happy married people surround you, you have a positive attitude, you're extra kind, today you've bragged to someone who loves your spouse, you've made an honest assessment of your marriage, and you have a better marriage in just 5 days!
Refresh and Renew
When you're intentional about having positive influences in your life and a positive attitude, your marriage is healthier and happier. Be generous with your love and attention. And remember; be realistic about what it means to have a good marriage. Even the very best married couples get "marriage fatigue." Refresh your married life by regularly committing 5 days to a better marriage. Enjoy the results!
The Complete List of Well-Being Dos & Don'ts
Contributed by Susan Good, Visit Gramma Good at www.grammagood.com
I believe in living my life outside the box. I know many women of all ages don't feel as I do and live inside the box their entire lives. Life inside the box means you're content to live a routine life. You do not have the desire or need to step out of your comfort zone. When given the opportunity, ask yourself, why should I? It takes determination and drive to push oneself out of the box and test new waters when life is so comfortable. Whether you are a daughter, a mom or a gramma, my advice is…give it a try!
Fortunately, I inherited my mother's drive and desire. I live outside the box. I plunge into life. Life is my oyster, as the saying goes. This attitude has made my life far more interesting than most of the women I know. Here is my latest story. It would not be noteworthy, except for the other woman who entered my life by chance…a stranger very much like myself.
I was hobbling, through the most delicious Italian restaurant on my walker, with my leg in a cast. On my way to our table, I passed another table. The man sitting at it stopped me because I was on a walker. Long story short, he informed me that he had a broken ankle too! I met his wife for a brief moment and then continued on to our table to enjoy a fabulous meal of spaghetti with clam sauce.
A few weeks later, as I hobbled into a party on my walker, a very pretty woman approached me. She could have said her hellos and left, but instead sat with me for the entire evening. Who was the woman? She was the wife of the 'man with the broken ankle'! Was it good karma? Yes!
She told me she and her husband live in LA. My husband and I were going to be in LA that weekend. She reached out to me, out of her comfort zone, asked if we could meet for Sunday brunch, and handed me her cell phone number. "Call at the last minute, we're easy," she said. She dared at her age to make a new friendship. She lives outside the box.
I debated whether or not to call. Sunday came and at 9 a.m. I picked up the phone and said 'yes' to this girl I hardly knew. I thought to myself, "it would be so much easier for my husband and I to order in room service and stay in until our event that evening." It was so hard to hobble around and get dressed to meet a stranger. I fought with myself because everything I did was such an effort with my broken ankle. Yet, I just had to pick up the phone and say, "I would love to have breakfast!" Why? Because I live outside the box.
We met for brunch with our husbands at 11 a.m. and parted at 2 p.m. We bonded. Two women. Two grammas who do not need more women in our lives. The only reason for this new friendship …we both live outside the box.
There is a lesson in this blog. When happenstance knocks on your door and you have a chance to have a new experience— dare to live outside the box. You may not want to because it is easier to stay in your routine, but I guarantee you it may prove to be very uplifting in so many different ways, as it was for my newest girlfriend and me.
A thank you to you, mom!
Do something GOOD today: Teach your children and grandchildren to live outside the box through your example. Their lives will be so much more exciting and successful.

Is There a Future for Religion?
If I hear one more self-righteous matron bitch and moan about the religious morals of young people today, I'm going to smash someone's head. That's not very Christian of me, is it? Then again, I'm not a Christian. But I am "very spiritual" just like the "Nones"
42% Defy Labels
A Pew study made history by introducing a new religious non-affiliation. The Nones; young independent spiritualists who believe in God but don't accept the trappings of organized religion. At least not the type of religion being offered in most churches, synagogues and mosques today.
The End of Religion
From pulpits (and Fox News) we hear that the souls of our children cannot be saved. The future of religion is coming to an end. Yet, I'm online every day and night reaching out to millions of people all across the globe who are "liking" God, "plus one-ing" scripture, and "tweeting" prayers. The median age for my audience? 20-30 something. So there. But why?
Short & Sweet: Yes. Long & Boring: Hell No!
The spirituality we're serving up is short and conveniently located. Need an inspirational hit from Matthew? It's in your newsfeed. Feeling blue? Click through a slide show about "Owning Your Disappointment." It's better than a sermon. Share 30 second bursts of God and your spiritual sweet spot is satisfied. That's what works. Here's what scares young people off.
Old People with Rules
Older people sitting in churches, synagogues, and mosques telling the next generation to follow their rules just doesn't work anymore. It's a new world. A start-up nation of bright young spirits looking to serve God in a new way. It begins where they live: Online. But it doesn't end there. A few progressive religious leaders are getting wise.
The New Way to Engage
Clergy in-the-know are finding their future congregants online and enticing them to join their off-line community. They're offering alternative musical services where the melodies of Mumford & Sons trump Ave Maria. Technology infused study groups with a Simpson's video teaching morals, ethics, and values. Social action projects that appeal to a young person's entrepreneurial spirit.
Alive and Well Online and in Your Neighborhood
The future of religion is being shaped right now. It may not look like it has in the past, but it still looks damn good. Have faith. Religion is here to stay. Clearly present but evolving over time. After all, God is timeless – not stuck in time.

Under heavy criticism from media organizations and others, the Obama administration has pulled back on one important aspect of its crackdown on government leaks: the ability of prosecutors to secretly seize reporters' records while investigating leaks to the media.
In an announcement Friday, the Justice Department said it is toughening the guidelines for subpoenaing reporters' phone records while also raising the standard the government needs to meet before it can issue search warrants to gather reporters' email.
Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement that the department was "firmly committed to ensuring our nation's security, and protecting the American people, while at the same time safeguarding the freedom of the press."
Holder also endorsed the proposal for a shield law that would protect reporters.
"While these reforms will make a meaningful difference, there are additional protections that only Congress can provide," he said. "For that reason, we continue to support the passage of media shield legislation."
The new guidelines come after a firestorm of protest involving two episodes in the hunt for government leakers: a secret Justice Department subpoena of almost two months of telephone records for 21 phone lines used by reporters and editors for The Associated Press and the use of a secret warrant to obtain some emails of a Fox News journalist.
The Justice Department said it will now create a "News Media Review Committee" to advise its top officials when the department seeks media-related records in investigations.
Among other things, the government will have to give advance notice to the news media about subpoena requests for reporters' phone records unless the attorney general determines that "for compelling reasons" such notice would pose a clear and substantial threat to the integrity of the leak investigation.
"It is expected that only the rare case would present the attorney general with the requisite compelling reasons to justify a delayed notification," the Justice Department report issued Friday said.
Also under the new guidelines, the government will issue search warrants directed at a reporter's email only when that reporter is the focus of a criminal investigation for conduct not connected to ordinary newsgathering activities.
"Under this revised policy, the department would not seek search warrants … if the sole purpose is the investigation of a person other than the member of the news media," the report stated. The Attorney General himself would have to approve all such search warrants.
Reaction to the new guidelines was generally positive.
Erin Madigan White, the AP's senior media relations manager, said the news agency "is gratified that the Department of Justice took our concerns seriously."
"The description of the new guidelines released today indicates they will result in meaningful, additional protection for journalists," she said. "We'll obviously be reviewing them more closely when the actual language of the guidelines is released, but we are heartened by this step."
David Anderson, an expert in media law at the University of Texas at Austin, said the changes would make a "substantial difference" because US attorneys who want news media records would have to "jump through some hoops" to get them, according to a Reuters report.
"It appears that they are recognizing that the very broad subpoena of the AP's phone records was too aggressive," Lucy Dalglish, dean of the journalism school at the University of Maryland, told the Associated Press. "They also recognized that they are not going to prosecute a reporter for basic newsgathering activities unless they have reason to believe the reporter is involved in the alleged breaking of the law. That has not been all that clear in the past."
But, she added: "The devil will be in the details. They left themselves a little bit of wiggle room."
In May, The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and 51 news organizations wrote to the Department of Justice, vigorously protesting the subpoena of AP phone records.
"The scope of this action calls into question the very integrity of Department of Justice policies toward the press and its ability to balance, on its own, its police powers against the First Amendment rights of the news media and the public's interest in reporting on all manner of government conduct, including matters touching on national security which lie at the heart of this case," the letter argued.
In response to Friday's Justice Department action, The Reporters Committee commended Holder "for taking seriously the concerns of the press." (The organization was formed in 1970 to provide legal help to journalists seeking to protect their rights under the First Amendment and Freedom of Information Act.)
But in a statement Friday, The Reporters Committee also said, "We continue to believe that an impartial judge should be involved when there is a demand for a reporter's records because so many important rights hinge on the ability to test the government's need for records before they are seized."

The gorgeous Katsuni (aka Katsumi, Jayda, Atsumi, Belgazoo) is a deliciously exotic mix of French and Vietnamese. She moved to the States from her birth city of Paris, France thinking she could make more money in Porn Valley. Katsuni is world renowned for her ability to deep-throat and is also well known for her skills in anal sex. She received breast implants in 2006, going from a 34B to a 34D.
Whether she's taking on L.T. Turner's big black cock in Elegant Angel's Asian Booty 2 or showing us the action taking place on Katsuni's Casting Couch (Marc Dorcel), Katsuni is one of the most stunning adult performers in both the American and European adult industries. Katsuni is often at her best with her frequent costar and fellow Frenchman Manuel Ferrara, having paired up with him in such scintillating productions as Evil Anal 13, Slutty and Sluttier 14, and Phat Bottom Girls 4 (Manuel Ferrara Productions/Evil Angel). She has performed in hundreds of movies and has appeared in Penthouse magazine.
Katsuni has won AVN's Female Foreign Performer of the Year multiple times and in 2009, she won the Hot d'Or for Best French Actress in Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge. XBIZ named Katsuni Foreign Female Performer of the Year in 2011, which is also the same year she won Adult Movie Entertainer of the Year at the Exotic Dancer Awards. In 2012, XBIZ named her Crossover Star of the Year. Katsuni won what is probably the adult industry's highest honor in 2014 when she was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame.

Current affairsThe Conservative Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel divides his own party by repealing the unpopular Corn Laws, which prohibited the import of cheap grain from overseas, viewed by many as causing the famines in Ireland (which peaked in this year), as well as domestic hardships following a bad harvest. Peel, defeated on a separate issue, resigns. The Whig Earl Russell becomes Prime Minister.

Getting ready for an outside function we picked up. Fun to do these chocolate 'bombs'.
