Hobbits Take Over The Plane in Air New Zealand Safety Video
How much safer would you feel, future traveler, if Gandalf was flying your plane? That's one of the many questions raised from this odd and wonderfully geeky new safety video from Air New Zealand.
The airline decided to have a little fun with its standard pre-flight safety instructions by making this video, which features Hobbits, Elves, Wizards and even 'Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit' director Peter Jackson fastening their seat belts and placing their tray tables in the fully upright position.
So how long do you think it'll be until we get R2-D2 serving us rum and Cokes on Air Disney flights?

(AP) — Rod Blagojevich faces long odds with the appeal of his federal corruption conviction, just as did his predecessor as Illinois governor, George Ryan, who repeatedly tried and failed to reverse his conviction on appeal.
A nearly 100-page appeal filed before midnight Monday with the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals asks the higher court toss to Blagojevich's convictions or, at least, to reduce his stiff, 14-year prison sentence.
The appeal, which comes two years after Blagojevich's decisive retrial and 16 months after he entered a federal prison in Colorado, cites a litany of alleged errors by trial Judge James Zagel. And it says Zagel miscalculated the Chicago Democrat's sentence, adding years he didn't deserve.
The filing also argues that Blagojevich's most shocking crime in the eyes of most observers — that he sought to profit from his power to appoint someone to fill President Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat — was no crime at all but run-of-the-mill political wheeling and dealing.
After two years preparing the appeal in the highly complex case that generated 12,000 court transcripts alone, the process now could move relatively fast.
Federal prosecutors have 30 days to file a response to the appeal, and oral arguments before a three-judge panel could be scheduled soon thereafter. A ruling on the appeal could happen within six months.
Blagojevich, 56, is inmate No. 40892-424 at a prison outside Denver, where he bides his time teaching history and learning to play the guitar, one of his attorneys, Lauren Kaeseberg, said Tuesday.
"He is hopeful he will prevail and that he will be able to help raise his two children again in his home with (his wife) Patti," said Kaeseberg, who recently spoke with Blagojevich by phone.
If he's looking to Ryan for encouragement, he won't find it.
The former Republican governor, 79, was recently released after more than five years in federal prison in Indiana and seven months of home confinement. Ryan filed multiple appeals but he lost every key ruling.
Appellate judges at the 7th Circuit in Chicago rarely overturn convictions unless a lower court's errors are egregious, said Gal Pissetzky, a Chicago defense attorney not connected to Blagojevich's case. Pissetzky said Blagojevich's appeal has a "very small" chance of success.
Blagojevich was convicted on 18 counts over two trials. Since he was sentenced in late 2011, many observers have said his best hope on appeal wasn't that a higher court would overturn his convictions but, perhaps, to shave a few years off his lengthy, 14-year sentence.
The appeal filed Monday hits that issue hard.
It says Zagel wrongly concluded at sentencing that Blagojevich qualified for years more in prison as a result of $1.5 million in campaign contributions supporters of then-Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. allegedly offered to the governor's campaign if Blagojevich named Jackson to Obama's seat.
Zagel chose to consider the alleged exchange as an aggravating factor for sentencing purposes, the appeal says, even though evidence about the offer was "vague and speculative," and even though there was no proof any such offer was "accepted, negotiated or even entertained by Blagojevich."
Neither Jackson — who has since resigned his House seat and pleaded guilty to unrelated charges of misusing campaign funds — nor the supporters allegedly involved were ever indicted in the Blagojevich case.
The appeal also says Zagel allowed a juror who allegedly expressed bias against Blagojevich to remain on the panel despite defense attorneys' objections. The appeal only referred to the panelist as Juror No. 174, saying he said of Blagojevich during jury selection, "I just figured him, possibly, to be guilty."
The appeal devotes many pages to the most serious crime for which Blagojevich was convicted — that he effectively tried to sell Obama's old Senate seat to the highest bidder.
At trial, prosecutors played secret wiretaps of a foul-mouthed Blagojevich eager to earn big money. In one recording, he is heard saying about the seat: "I've got this thing, and it's f------ golden. And I'm just not giving it up for f------ nothing."
The appeal argues Blagojevich was engaging in standard politics when he floated the idea of securing a U.S. Cabinet post or ambassadorship for himself if he appointed Obama confidant Valerie Jarrett to the Senate seat. Neither Obama nor Jarrett have ever been accused of any wrongdoing in the case.
"The record shows that Blagojevich's proposed exchange was an arm's length political deal, described by Blagojevich as a political 'horse trade,'" the appeal says. It wasn't criminal "because the political deal proposed by Blagojevich was a proper and common exchange under our democratic system of government."
Kaeseberg, Blagojevich's attorney, said Tuesday during an interview that the allegations against Blagojevich were distinct from allegations against other politicians accused of accepted cash under the table or some other clear benefit, because the crimes he is accused of "all took place in the sphere of the political world."
That, she argued, could make the higher court's ruling on Blagojevich's appeal precedent-setting.
"The line is unclear (in U.S. law) as to what kind of political action is legal and criminal," she said. "There's an opportunity here to clarify just where they line is."

Photos: Pride, passion, music and fireworks at Paralympic...
The Games are over and the athletes and ...
Danger of sliding danger a tough legacy to shake
WHISTLER, B.C. — The death of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili and lingering questions about the safety of the Whistler Sliding Centre track are the most haunting legacies of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
They are not the only legacies. And while they threatened to steal the joy from this mountain resort's long-awaited celebration of the 2010 Games, they didn't.
Still the 21-year-old's fatal crash was never far from anyone's mind.
Almost every day there were crashes at the track — not unexpected in these dangerous sports. But each was a reminder.
A makeshift memorial to Kumaritashvili that sprang up almost at the base of the Olympic rings — the most photographed sites in the village. Wisely and respectfully, municipal leaders built a more permanent shrine nearby that quickly attracted thousands of sombre visitors.
Over the weekend, Whistler Mayor Ken Melamed promised that when the Celebration Plaza is converted from Olympic and Paralympic use, there will be a permanent memorial to Kumaritashvili and all of the athletes who competed in Whistler in the alpine, nordic and sliding events.
However, the gloom lifted with the surprise gold in skeleton by Jon Montgomery of Russell, Man., that truly lifted the gloom. Belting out O Canada, chugging beer from jug passed to him as he walked through the village, Montgomery put the fun back in the Games.
And when the sun finally came out, the village's apres-ski conviviality went to a whole new level. It was alive with a passing parade of visitors in national colours and costumes.
Whistler was built with the Olympics in mind with its central Village Square and Skier's Plaza, pedestrian-only walks and street-level shops and restaurants. And the village was as close to full as was possible. There were nights that every hotel room was full. Hotel occupancy over the two weeks exceeded the target of 90 per cent, outperforming the expectation of 80 per cent, which was based on two previous Games hosts' experiences.
More medals were won, presented and celebrated in Whistler than in Vancouver.
For the first time in Games' history, the Olympic flame burned in more than one site. And, at least one Swiss champion was carried into the national house, sitting on skis that rested on his countrymen's shoulders.
Aside from the resort having been seen by an estimated three billion TV viewers, the most important Games' legacies are the venues and, in particular, Whistler Olympic Park in the Callaghan Valley.
The site of all the nordic events (ski jump, biathlon and cross-country skiing), it enhances the resort's appeal not only for international competitions, but because it offers new recreational opportunities beyond the skiing, golfing, mountain-biking crowds that Whistler already attracts.
All of the Olympic Park will all be maintained including the ski jumps, which at one point were considered only temporary.
After the Paralympics, Olympic Park, the sliding centre and the Richmond Oval will all be operated by the 2010 Sports Legacies Society — a non-profit group that has an endowment from Vanoc, the federal and provincial governments of $110 million. The society will also operate the sliding centre and the Richmond Oval. For the Whistler facilities, the annual allotment will be about $2 million.
But that's where the questions about the track's safety come back to haunt. If the track is found to be unsafe when all of the investigations are completed, then changes will have to be made. Who will pay? Nobody knows because the Legacies' fund doesn't have money to cover that.
Four members of Canada's sliding teams including bobsled pilot Kaillie Humphries, who won a gold medal and silver medallist Mellisa Hollingsworth held a news conference on Saturday to play down fears about the track's safety and support its continued use for all levels including beginners.
Questioned about what changes he would like to see, luger Jeff Christie (who is one of the athlete representatives to the International Luge Federation) said unless sliders are in the top rankings of the World Cup circuit, they should be required to take a certain number of training runs on the track before they compete.
Before the Games, sliders were given the chance to take more than 60 runs. But Christie said most took fewer than 30.
Yet, even if no changes are deemed necessary to the track, negative publicity from the Games may make it more difficult to attract sliders to train there, more difficult to get future World Cup events, more difficult to attract beginning sliders. Even the Legacies Society's plan for a "passenger program" where people to pay a fee to go down the track with an experienced bobsled pilot could be in jeopardy.
But those are things for the future.
Besides, there's no real time for reflection in this tourist town. An estimated 2,000 visitors are expected to arrive Monday for the beginning of Gay Pride Week.
And the following week? As many as 30,000 people a day are expected to be in the village again watching and celebrating the world's best Paralympic athletes.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's official news agency is reporting that Pakistani naval vessels have arrived at the southern Iranian port of Bandar Abbas for an upcoming naval maneuver.
The report Sunday by IRNA quoted Iranian Rear Adm. Shahram Irani as saying the fleet will have "presence" in the maneuver that will began on Tuesday east of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, through which one fifth of the world's oil supply passes.
The report said Pakistani vessels include a warship, a submarine and a logistics vessel.
The report did not say whether it would be "joint" drill, nor did it elaborate on its scale or duration. It said the Pakistani fleet will leave after four days.
In the past, regional countries have had a presence at similar Iranian maneuvers as observers.

Tesoro has sights set on larger retail role with BP refinery purchase
Tesoro Corp.'s buyout of BP plc's refinery in California, once finalized, will make the San Antonio petroleum company the biggest refiner in the state and also significantly expand its retail holdings.
Tesoro announced Monday its plans to acquire BP's 266,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Carson, Calif. However, the purchase also includes a retail network of about 800 dealer-operated gas stations in Southern California, Nevada and Arizona as well as the ARCO and ampm convenience store brands.
These independently owned and operated stores currently buy an average of 245,000 gallons per month wholesale from the BP refinery.
This agreement with London-based BP is expected to bolster Tesoro's existing retail network, which currently consists of more than 1,375 branded stations — including nearly 590 company owned gas stations that operate under the Tesoro, USA Gasoline and Shell brands.
The Carson refinery is located south of Los Angeles. Tesoro intends to integrate that refinery with its existing 97,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Wilmington, Calif. Tesoro also owns a 166,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Martinez, Calif.
The purchase also includes three marine terminals; four land storage terminals; four product marketing terminals; and more than 100 miles of pipelines. Tesoro will have pipeline access to Los Angeles International Airport.
The total deal is valued at $2.5 billion.
San Antonio-based Tesoro (NYSE: TSO) operates seven refineries in the western United States with a combined capacity of 675,000 barrels per day. That number will jump to eight facilities once the BP refinery acquisition closes — slated for mid-2013.

It's 20 minutes before 4 p.m. in London and currency traders' screens are blinking red and green. Some dealers have as many as 50 chat rooms crowded onto four monitors arrayed in front of them like shields. Messages from salespeople and clients appear, get pushed up by new ones and vanish from view. Orders are barked through squawk boxes.
This is the closing "fix," the thin slice of the day when foreign-exchange traders buy and sell billions of dollars of currency in the largely unregulated $5.3-trillion-a-day foreign- exchange market, the biggest in the world by volume, according to the Bank for International Settlements. Their trades help set the benchmark WM/Reuters rates used to value more than $3.6 trillion of index funds held by pension holders, savers and money managers around the world.
Now regulators from Bern to Washington are examining evidence first reported by Bloomberg News in June that a small group of senior traders at big banks had something else on their screens: details of each other's client orders. Sharing that information may have helped dealers at firms, including JPMorgan Chase & Co., Citigroup Inc., UBS AG and Barclays Plc, manipulate prices to maximize their own profits, according to five people with knowledge of the probes.
"This is a market where there is no law and people have turned a blind eye," said former Senator Ted Kaufman, a Delaware Democrat who sponsored legislation in 2010 to shrink the largest U.S. banks. "We've been talking about banks being too big to fail. What's almost as big a problem is banks too big to manage."
'Bandits' Club'
At the center of the inquiries are instant-message groups with names such as "The Cartel," "The Bandits' Club," "One Team, One Dream" and "The Mafia," in which dealers exchanged information on client orders and agreed how to trade at the fix, according to the people with knowledge of the investigations who asked not to be identified because the matter is pending. Some traders took part in multiple chat rooms, one of them said.
The allegations of collusion undermine one of society's fundamental principles -- how money is valued. The possibility that a handful of traders clustered in a closed electronic network could skew the worth of global currencies for their own gain without detection points to a lack of oversight by employers and regulators. Since funds buy and sell billions of dollars of currency each month at the 4 p.m. WM/Reuters rates, which are determined by calculating the median of all trades during a 60-second period, that means less money in the pension and savings accounts of investors around the world.
'Collusive Practices'
At stake is the integrity of a market that affects the daily valuations of private and public money alike, from the $261 billion Sacramento-based California Public Employees' Retirement System to the $237 billion Scottish Widows Investment Partnership in Edinburgh, from the $4.1 trillion BlackRock Inc. in Manhattan, the world's largest asset manager, to the $1.2 trillion Tokyo-based Government Pension Investment Fund, the biggest pension.
"This is a market that is far more amenable to collusive practices than it is to competitive practices," said Andre Spicer, a professor at the Cass Business School in London, who is researching the behavior of traders.
'Big Profits'
Unlike sales of stocks and bonds, which are regulated by government agencies, spot foreign exchange -- the buying and selling for immediate delivery as opposed to some future date -- isn't considered an investment product and isn't subject to specific rules.
While firms are required by the Dodd-Frank Act in the U.S. to report trading in foreign-exchange swaps and forwards, spot dealing is exempt. The U.S. Treasury exempted foreign-exchange swaps and forwards from Dodd-Frank's requirement to back up trades with a clearinghouse. In the European Union, banks will have to report foreign-exchange derivatives transactions under the European Market Infrastructure Regulation.
A lack of regulation has left the foreign-exchange market vulnerable to abuse, said Rosa Abrantes-Metz, a professor at New York University's Stern School of Business in Manhattan.
"If nobody is monitoring these benchmarks, and since the gains from moving the benchmark are possibly very large, it is very tempting to engage in such a behavior," said Abrantes- Metz, whose 2008 paper "Libor Manipulation" helped spark a global probe of interbank borrowing rates. "Even a little bit of difference in price can add up to big profits."

Reviews: Movies
California Burning
"A strange and enthralling evocation of frontier capitalism and manifest destiny set at the dawn of the 20th century… There's hardly a dull moment. Digs collapse, gushers burst into flame, God metes out punishment and so does man. Revelations overturn the narrative: The last 20 minutes are as shocking in their way as the plague that rains from the sky in Magnolia's finale. By the time the closing words "There Will Be Blood" appear (with a burst of Brahms) inscribed in heavy gothic letters on the screen, Anderson's movie has come to seem an Old Testament story of cosmic comeuppance and filicidal madness—American history glimpsed through the smoke and fire that the lightning left behind."

"Two strokes of paralysis convinced me that I am on the borderland, I feel it my duty before my voice is hushed upon the shore to give some tragical features in the life of my Brother, Stillman, in proof of the perpetuity and power of nursery impressions.
"A childless couple was my father's nearest neighbors. During my Brother Stillman's infancy, they were—or professed to be—very fond of him, which induced my parents to leave him in their care while making a visit of several days to relatives. On going to the house for the child after their return they found it deserted.
"No information could be obtained as to when or where they had gone. Only a parent can know the anguish of their hearts. Every effort to trace them was unavailing. One man, no doubt in collusion with them, and a fine horse, upon which my father mounted him for the pursuit, was never heard of again. For thirteen years the search was unavailing,
"Most of the States were backwoods. Railroads and steamboats were not known; neither newspapers, except in the larger cities. In the meantime that child was never out of memory. Can we realize the fear of the parents for the influence of kidnappers at the best must make on his character?
"What a relief to know he had perished by the Indian's tomahawk! How dreadful the return of Thanksgiving days! If for a moment he was forgotten a laugh was felt to be heartless. For thirteen years a pall hung over a family of bleeding hearts.
"Ultimately a traveler, earnestly engaged to make inquisition, lodged under the same roof of the boy, now seventeen years old. He was but four years old when stolen. And though so young he never did believe they were really his parents, although they had given him their name.
"And this impression was confirmed when they had children of their own. It seemed at first that they were really fond of him; and he was treated somewhat as their child; but subsequently as a slave, all of which prevented what his parents most dreaded. They had no power over his heart, which, thank God, fell into the trend of his infant years.
"While the stranger, who lodged under the same roof, was making inquiry for the lost child, Stillman was hurried off to bed, but not until he was convinced from what he heard that he was the child. Stealthily creeping downstairs, he gathered enough to determine him to seek a father's house.
"His captors were compelled to send him to school with their children, for they had given him their name, but the foster mother was careful to butter every piece of breading in the school basket, knowing that he, from some idiosyncrasy, would be unable to eat a morsel. In the meantime he was making preparations for his advent.
"He procured some tools, such as a saw used in the repairing of clocks, and qualified himself to do honest work in this time. Indeed as time developed, he could not do any other kind of work. Gathering a very slight wardrobe, without the formalities of goodbye, he started out on his errand, supporting himself fully by the repairs he found called for in his travels.
"Just as the shades of evening closed on Greenwich Plain a rustic youth called at the gable roofed house requesting entertainment for the night. The proprietor, now grown venerable, bade him welcome, although a house of entertainment was near. Entering the house and being invited to take a seat, he remained standing and began to ask questions and attempting to converse.
"At that time, I was a white headed boy about nine years old-restless and inquisitive. I readily discovered an air of mystery in the stranger. The truth was he was laboring to prevent the sudden discovery that he was the lost child. But my childless patience could not brook delay, and I suddenly cried out, 'Mother, this is brother Stillman,' and mother asked trembling in every joint, 'Are you indeed my child?' and sank faintly to the floor. My sister sank down like the swath under the mowers' scythe, while father, brother Stillman and myself were bathed in tears. I never saw such a scene and I never shall again.
"And now for the proof of the power of early impressions! The next day after the return of brother Stillman, I was sent with him to see brother William, who was employed about two miles from home. In passing through a woodland there was a patch of ground covered with checker berries.
"I gathered a handful, and with an overflowing heart offered them to brother Stillman. He with just such a heart, declined them. In urging his acceptance I made the impression on his mind that I professed not to be fond of them. 'Oh, my dear little brother,' said Stillman, 'I had rather you would tell the exact truth all the time, and in all things than to have all the berries in the world.'
"Brother Stillman came out of the hands of his captors one of the most conscientious beings, not excepting my own Mother, that I have ever known. All of which must have been owing to the persistent influence of his child culture. He died very early preaching the Gospel of the grace of God."
—Written by Dr. Chester Bullard about his brother, Stillman, and published in a newspaper about 1890, according to "Early History of Snowville [VA]," by Louise B. Allison, 1958
(Allison article was reprinted in Pulaski County Genealogy Club newsletter in October 2000. Online at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vapulask/towns/Snowville/SnowvilleHistory.html)

In 2013 taskforce study was charged with identifying and understanding the relevant programs existing across the university, their history on campus, and their beneficial activities, relating to CSULB's historical and continuing commitment to the recruitment, retention, training, and graduation of students from underrepresented and underserved (UR/US) backgrounds. Although the study was initially prompted by biomedically-related programs seeking funds from the National Institutes of Health, the scope of the study necessarily broadened to encompass the many and varied programs that serve the needs of all UR/US students at CSULB. The findings of the taskforce study are therefore relevant to the whole university, and they provide a broader assessment of the university's historical commitment to UR/US students. The Taskforce discovered an extensive and complex constellation of remarkable programs and activities that began notably early in the university's history and which continued to grow and develop over decades into one of the most impressive "systems" of programs in the nation successfully facilitating access and success of UR/US students. The results of this study indicate that CSULB is a national leader in its commitment to diversity and excellence in education and scholarship –it is an historical and present theme and emphasis that should bring distinct pride to academic community we refer to as "The Beach."

October 3, 2011 -
The Subcommittee on Housing, Insurance and Community Opportunity will hold a hearing this week to examine the Obama Administration's response to the housing crisis, including new proposals announced by the President during his recent speech to a joint session of Congress.
The Administration created a number of programs designed to help borrowers avoid foreclosure or refinance high-cost mortgages. Funding for the programs has come largely from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) passed by Congress in 2008 to address the financial crisis.
None of the programs, however, has been successful and they have come under sharp criticism from TARP's special inspector general, the Congressional Oversight Panel, the Government Accountability Office, and the inspector general for the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Witnesses at a hearing held by the Subcommittee earlier this year on the Administration's programs – the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP), the FHA Refinance Program, the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, and the Emergency Homeowners Loan Program – said the programs are ineffective and, in some cases, leave borrowers in worse financial condition then they were before.
The criticisms culminated in separate bills to terminate four of the programs. All four bills were reported out of the Financial Services Committee and approved by the House of Representatives in March.
As part of his September 8 address to a joint session of Congress, President Obama proposed expanding the Neighborhood Stabilization Program through a $15 billion initiative labeled "Project Rebuild," and easing the eligibility requirements on the HARP program to promote greater refinancings.
"The President's 'new' proposals are really nothing more than reincarnated versions of programs that are already proven failures," said Financial Services Committee Chairman Spencer Bachus. "Job losses are the root cause of foreclosures. If the Administration is serious about preventing foreclosures, then it should promote policies that help the private sector create jobs as opposed to pouring more money into failed programs."
Subcommittee Chairman Judy Biggert said, "In the heat of the meltdown, the Administration took a varied and costly approach to intervention in the housing market. Rather than repeat mistakes of the past, we need to examine the lessons learned from these programs, and use that insight to guide polices that will facilitate a return of the private sector to housing and stem foreclosure rates. Our Committee will welcome input from industry experts and agency officials as we evaluate existing programs as well as the Administration's latest request for funding, and determine how federal efforts can be more effectively targeted."
What: Subcommittee on Housing, Insurance and Community Development hearing on the Obama Administration's Response to the Housing Crisis
When: Thursday, October 6 at 9:30 a.m.
Where: Room 2128 Rayburn
Witnesses scheduled to testify:
Panel I
Carol Galante, Acting Federal Housing Administration Commissioner and Assistant Secretary for Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development
Tammye Trevino, Administrator, Housing and Community Facilities Programs, Department of Agriculture's Rural Development Agency
Darius Kingsley, Deputy Chief, Homeownership Preservation Office, U.S. Department of Treasury

The fate of Fathima Rifqa Bary is now in the hands of an Ohio court.
Rifqa -- the teenage runaway whose story of Muslim-to-Christian conversion made national headlines in August -- is back in her home state today, after spending three months living with strangers in Central Florida.
Tuesday's move, confirmed by the Department of Children and Families, officially ended Florida's emergency jurisdiction in Rifqa's case.
Rifqa is now the responsibility of Franklin County Children Services, which is expected to place her in a foster home.
The teen's journey to Orlando began this summer, when she reached out to strangers she met through a prayer group on the social-networking site Facebook.
Rifqa said she feared her Muslim family would harm or kill her -- a claim they denied -- because she converted to Christianity. She needed shelter, and the Orlando Christians were willing to help.
In mid-July, Rifqa ran away from her home in the Columbus area, hopped on a Greyhound bus using a ticket bought by one of the strangers, and lived for more than two weeks with husband-and-wife pastors in their Orlando home.
Local authorities eventually learned about Rifqa's case, and on Aug. 10 -- her 17th birthday -- an Orange County judge ordered her into DCF emergency custody.
Since then, more than half a dozen lawyers and the public have argued over Rifqa's fate. Strangers poured into Rifqa's court proceedings, so that court officials had to set up an overflow room. Heated debates occurred outside the usually quiet juvenile courthouse in Orange County.
Thousands of people have e-mailed Gov. Charlie Crist's office. A Web site has been created in Rifqa's name. And several Facebook pages have been devoted to the teen, including the Rifqa Bary Support Group, which boasts more than 9,000 members.
Rifqa told investigators with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement that she was to be placed in an arranged marriage and her father threatened her because she left the Muslim faith to become a Christian.
Officials in Florida and Ohio investigated Rifqa's claims and found there were no such threats. Her father, Mohamed Bary, has denied the girl's accusations.
The Barys have said they wanted Rifqa back home, though it's unclear when the teen will live with her family again.

Flying into Hurrcane Sandy's Wake
You get the call from Crew Schedule. You don't have to take the flight–but you do: it's time to bring jets back into the New York metro area, ravaged as it is by Hurricane Sandy.
Means a different kind of thinking for you: more fuel (you'll take any excuse for more fuel, won't you?) for more loiter time and options depending on the weather, because you know the navigation aids and ground-based approach equipment has been damaged or may be without power.
There are twenty deadheading crewmembers on the flight roster, needing to get home, plus a half dozen others trying to commute to the three crew bases there (LGA, EWR, JFK) not to mention tons (literally) of backlogged cargo waiting to head east. All of that raises the jet's zero fuel weight, but fuel is primary. You get hit up by commuting crewmembers–"Can you agree to land with less fuel?" No, I shouldn't, I can't, I won't. You're the captain, so you're the asshole; you're the asshole, so you're the captain: all you want to see when the gear goes down on final approach is plenty of fuel to go somewhere else if need be. What a dick.
The First Officer today is one of the guys I really like flying with: serious, quiet, pragmatic; ex-Navy fighter jock, good guy. He's one hundred percent behind the "Fuel is God" philosophy. Makes it easier.
We blast across the southern United States, bang a left at Atlanta, head for Tidewater Virginia then up the coast. Sandy's loafing her way north and west, leaving the curved cirrus as her calling card up the eastern seaboard.
We grab the high ground, the 40,000 foot level to keep the fuel burn low and the tailwind high. As soon as we turn north over Norfolk, we begin to pick up Sandy's claw marks along the coastline: even from seven miles up, starting around northern the Maryland coast, the shore looks as if a giant hand had raked the sand from right to left, east to west, as Sandy's hurricane-force roar washed the sea and sand inland.
Lower now, abeam Atlantic City, New Jersey, we're peeking through cloud breaks in Sandy's sloppy remnants, and the view is ugly: the shoreline is swept clean of anything man made, and you know from a hundred flight through here that the shoreline was much more "humanized" until Sandy clawed it clean.
Sinking through ten thousand feet, the disaster takes on a detailed face: boats piled in front of houses; the normal geometry of streets and blocks skewed by wreckage, things that don't belong; jumbles of homes, cars, boats; you name it.
Sand driven blocks inland. Cars strewn akimbo. Roofs ripped off. No lights; no warning lights–and no navigation signals, due to no electricity. You see the couple of blocks burned to the ground by uncontrollable gas fires.
Humanity, flashing by at 160 miles per hour. I don't have time to look–but I can't help seeing the destruction below. These photos are courtesy of a deadheading flight attendant, taken sideways from the "A" seat just forward of the left wing.
No worries up front in the 21st-century jet: our navigation and approach guidance is all based on satellites, processed on board and projected right in front of my fat face:
We lumber to our gate, with a mixture of relief and satisfaction: we'll get the normal jet service up and running once again, get people moving, unstranded, reunited, home.
And we'll ferry another 160+ souls westbound, away from the storm and the shipwreck that is the northeast coast. There are crowds inside "Fort Kennedy" who are waiting like refugees to move west, to go home. We'll do the fuel numbers, the flight performance calculations, the take-off numbers down to a rat's ass to make it work–and work right. If; no–when that makes me the asshole again, so be it: we will be safe, we will fly smart.
We'll get that bird's eye, god's eye view of the coast one more time, at dusk, and try not to worry–but how can you not?–that in the gathering darkness, there are few if any lights below. We put that behind us at .8 Mach, but the human face doesn't go away no matter how high you climb or how fast you go.
Can't help but feel for those left behind. And those you know, stalwarts of Jethead like Miss Giulia and her husband Mike, the voice of Jethead Live: the remnants of the super-hurricane are headed their way; Peggy Willenberger, stormchaser who has made such extreme weather her stock in trade; Cedar Glen–didn't he mention Ohio once, now taking a pounding?
And the millions left behind, salvaging what they can, rebuilding. We're a quiet ark sailing westward, away from the storm, to a different and better now for the lucky ones making their escape.
Keep the fires burning; navigate, light the way west. Do it right–that's your job, your part in this journey. Follow the night sky home.
23 Responses to "Flying into Hurrcane Sandy's Wake"
What a reflection! Thanks, Captain. I especially resonate with the line: "We put that behind us at .8 Mach, but the human face doesn't go away no matter how high you climb or how fast you go." How true is that?!?! Maybe we'll cross paths on the way and maybe we won't. But you'll be ferrying many like us, I'm sure. Several lectures recorded for my students while I'm gone and "leavin' on a jet plane" in the morning to joint the Catholic Relief Services effort; we want to make a dent in the devastation on Staten Island, which seems to be getting so little aid at the moment. If I look up and see a 737 sporting the signature chrome glint of the AA livery, I'll wave and know that our friends devastated by the wake of Hurricane Sandy are duly remembered.
Clear skies!

Why wouldn't you want extra fuel? I'm not a pilot so I don't understand this. Thanks!
Thanks, Captain Chris; a great and cogent post. I was not sure that my note got through, so do and some do not, but you've nailed it. Many folks understand that it takes several days for a big airline to recover from a Sandy-like event, but what most don't consider is the work involved before the storm strikes. You've got to move those airplanes out of harm's way, be they filled with paid pax – or empty. I always appreciate your notes about the fuel load and here, flying into questionable or varying conditions, you cannot have too much. If some freight of a few souls are left at the gate, at least those aboard will have a safe landing – somewhere. As I've noted before sir, that is why they call you Captain! Great post!! -C.
P.S. Did you have any unusual flights before the storm h it, perhaps just ferrying valuable airplanes out of the threat area? Best wishes, -C.
The aftermath of any severe storm, especially hurricanes, is just so sad. People like me who try to predict and warn severe weather feel so defeated–especially by the unnecessary deaths of those who could have evacuated, but chose not to. I'm glad when you flew over, on your way to restoring normalcy, you felt the sadness, the disorder of something that won't ever be quite the same…
Chris, I never thought of you as an A-Hole but of course I was the only one. :0) Kidding, nice, heartfelt article with some great pixs. You even managed to fit "Akimbo" in as well.
Chris, In the night cockpit picture are the spots on the windscreen bugs or star? As to the A-hole part, I don't think we've met, but since you were senior to me, that automatically pushed you toward that category. Nice post, Jim (at AA known as Carola's husband).
PS Her interview reminded of somethings I had forgotten. Thanks.
One thing I really like about this blog; words like 'akimbo' show up regularly.
So sad to read news of the residents still struggling with the lack of electricity, the cold temperatures, and the feeling of being forgotten.
Thanks for thinking about me…but we were so lucky. Nothing but lots of rain and crazy wind. Apart for a few fallen tree limbs here and there, we certainly don't deserve to be mentioned with those people who are truly suffering right now.
Really nice post, Chris. Thank you for this reflection.
Hope you are well…and that "school" stuff is coming along.

Windemere and Coniston or the Peak District. The two figures in the rocky landscape, the lone tree, and the way the man walking alone appears so solitary all seem to share the mood of some of Wordsworth's poems.. Lake District, England. This image captures for me the bleak, austere beauty of parts of the Lake District, which I always erroneously used to assume was lush green throughout, like
Wastwater is the deepest lake in England, and Scafell Peak, which we see in the distance, is England's highest mountain at 3,200 feet.

NHL Game Night: 10/27/10 Penguins at Lightning
When the Lightning need a good luck charm, they put St. Pete Times Forum VP of Operations Mary Milne on the TV, and game winning goals ensue.
Dan Ellis stopped all 24 shots he faced after replacing Mike Smith to get the win. He was excellent controlling his rebounds, which is a new. Smitty, bless his heart, allowed 3 goals on 7 shots. He looked so good in his last start. It was surprising to see him fall off so quickly. The NHL should be scared to death of a time that will eventually come when the Lightning get some consistent goaltending.
First Period
02:51 TB Tyrell (1), Thompson (2), Kubina (3)
03:28 PIT Adams (1), Cooke (4), Orpik (1)(SH)
04:29 PIT Cooke (2), Letang (7), Adams (2)(SH)
12:15 PIT Dupuis (2), Adams (3), Crosby (6)
16:40 TB Purcell (1), Kubina (4), Ritola (1)
Second Period
08:43 TB Lecavalier (3), St Louis (7), Stamkos (8)(PP)
Third Period
06:40 TB St Louis (4), Downie (5), Stamkos (9)
19:29 TB St Louis (5), Stamkos (10)(EN)
Martin St. Louis, Dan Ellis, and Nate Thompson were the game's three stars. A lot of teams would've packed it in after giving up three unanswered goals to the Pens in the first period. Credit to Teddy Purcell for getting the Lightning back to within one. They were like a pack of hungry, wild dogs after that, seriously outchancing Pittsburgh in the final two frames.
Mattias Ritola had his first point with the Lightning, an assist, in 8:18. My initial impressions of Ritola! is that he wins the D. Affy award for being an NHLer from the opposing blueline in.
Dana Tyrell had his first NHL goal, two shots, and one blocked shot in 15:18. Here's what I liked about Dana tonight: it's human nature to relax a little after you've had some success. Dana seemed to work even harder after he got that goal, if that's possible.
Michael Vernace was +1 with 2 penalty minutes and 1 hit in 3:23. In case your wondering, my back-of-the-envelope estimate is that Vernace made $1,567.71 for every minute he was on the ice tonight. Nice work if you can get it.
As I've been saying on the BoltProspects Message Board, my hope for the team was to get 14 points out of their first 10 games. That was an aggressive number for a team with a lot of new players and a new system, but it's the kind of start they really needed to get out of the chute well on a playoff push. They have 13 points through their first 9 games heading into Phoenix on Saturday. That's not a gimme, but they're definitely off to the kind of start they needed.

Comfortable Hotel Between Tacoma and Seattle
Federal Way, Washington, was established as a logging settlement about midway between Tacoma and Seattle. The timber industry is still big business in town, but there's also a lot of natural beauty—Dash Point State Park, Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden, and miles of pristine shoreline. Guests of the Best Western Plus Evergreen Inn & Suites have easy access to the sights, thanks to the hotel's complimentary shuttle, which covers the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. There's free parking at the hotel, too, so day trips to Seattle are a breeze.
Inside, the hotel is a family- and business-friendly environment. Kids will enjoy the heated indoor pool, and those here for work will appreciate the complimentary WiFi. Ten restaurants can be found within a half mile of the hotel, and the onsite Seasons Restaurant offers fine dining for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Start your day with a complimentary continental breakfast that includes a choice of cereal, eggs, bread, and fresh fruit.
Federal Way, Washington: Coastal Town near Seattle's Coffee Shops and Galleries
Like the neighboring cities of Tacoma and Seattle, Federal Way is set right along Puget Sound. The coastal town is rich in natural beauty, especially at Dash Point State Park, an expansive seaside camping area with more than 11 miles of hiking and biking trails. Don't miss the Pacific Bonsai Museum, a tropical conservatory that's home to 60 bonsai trees from six Pacific Rim nations.
A half-hour drive north brings you to downtown Seattle. Here, street performers often play music as shoppers walk beneath the iconic Public Market Center sign at the open-air Pike Place Market (check out our Groupon Guide article about Pike Place Market). One of Seattle's most renowned attractions, the marketplace bustles with vendors selling fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, flowers, and meat. Before the spread of Starbucks to every corner, Seattleites grabbed cups of java at the company's original coffeehouse, which first opened here in 1971. Head a few blocks north of the market to find even more gourmet coffee shops in the inviting neighborhood of Belltown, an arts district filled with cafés, shops, and galleries.

Police: Greensboro woman stabs boyfriend
Man suffers serious injuries

He was taken by emergency crews to a hospital for treatment of serious but not life-threatening injuries.
Artison was found near the scene and arrested without incident, police said. She is being held in the Guilford County Jail on $100,000 bond.

This question might seem a bit strange, but I am curious to know why Allaah's Name ~ Ar-Rahmaan ~ is pronounced with..
As-salaam Alaikum wa rahmatuallaahi wa barakaatuh
This question might seem a bit strange, but I am curious to know why Allaah's Name ~ Ar-Rahmaan ~ is pronounced with elongation and in Qur'aan it is written with elongation, but when we type it in standard Arabic fonts- (or write it out for that matter), we don't add the alif after the meem with fat-hah? Allaah yazeedekum khair!
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
It is not a strange question at all and probably many site visitors may wonder the same thing. There are some spelling rules for writing the Qur'an that do have some exceptions, but can be taken as general rules. The word is written without an alif. The small little alif you see in the word (called a dagger alif), is not part of the 'Uthmani writing but part of the extra marking done by scholars to make the reading easier. There are other words in which alifaat are pronounced but not written, for example in the Glorious name ; there is a pronounced alif after the laam with the shaddah. Another word that has a pronounced alif not written is . These are part of the rasm (writing) rules for the 'Uthmani copy of the Qur'an which should be applied in all copies made of the Qur'an. The small "dagger" alifaat are written in for our benefit by scholars later on, but as you can see they do not enter the word itself, but instead are written over it so not to affect the original writing.
There are examples of words in the Glorious Qur'an in which other letters are pronounced and not written and you will also find them as small letters written in over the word for our benefit, such as the small in: and the small in: .
Wa iyyaakum.

Let's reopen our search. We're currently accepting applications for GAPD members of our awesome growing community! You can make a difference!
Oh yeah? Where are my decisions-making donuts? Ah! There they are... right behind thinking donuts. So, let me think first... I'll tell you when I'm done... or when the donuts are over, whichever happens first, lol...
What do you mean "mix"? You mean those who want to view adult stuff and who do not? Just as we did before... they will have to ask permission to be put into "18+" category, and then they will be able to see all the kinky stuff, starting from adult fanfiction to adult pictures, clips, etc. They will be regular members but with additional privileges. They can create their own club here, too... Or am I not getting what you're trying to ask?
Sorry I haven't been around lately, with all the forum issues and switching I feel I have been lacking in my Mod duties. :S
Welcome back, Kaiju.
What do you mean we have no opinion on adult section of the gallery. In what aspects? How to make sure that it doesn't get seen by minors or those who don't want to see it? We have the 18+ group for it. Whether to have it or not? Most certainly, we must. I don't even go into why... not because I will be spending all day there, because I won't, but it WILL generate whole lot of views and will bring a lot more people here to join. About the banner ads and stuff - we already talked about it... I'm not sure, actually, but can we make it so that the ads can only be seen by logged-in members who are in 18+ group? I know that some sites have ads that go away if you log in. Well, we can do just the opposite. I'm not sure though how hard it would be to integrate such function and if it's doable altogether, but it you can do it - why not? Of course, they will have their own communities elsewhere, e.g. facebook or myspace, but here there are very few options that we can allow them, actually... secure gallery space is one... possible banner ads space for 18+ members, if possible, is two... adult fanfic section is three... all related merchandise is four... anything else?

lcarey105 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 186 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
Good Day,
This packaging design is for a new product: TummyTankz - the essential wardrobe accessory for any woman! Winning website design is located at
I'm a mom starting a new business with the goal of making maternity wear and enhancing a woman's everyday wardrobe more affordable with TummyTankz. In addition, my company is all about giving back by supporting causes that enrich the lives of women and children either by promoting awareness or by donating a portion of proceeds from sales.
So, I'm looking for packaging designs that draws women in, whether they are looking for TummyTankz as a substitute for maternity wear, nursing under-cover, or to simply enhance their wardrobe for everyday style.
Women: both pregnant and non-pregnant, between ages of 20 – 35.
Categories of uses:
(1) Maternity
(2) Nursing
(3) Everyday Style
=================== Could not fit in Requirements ===============
I'll be using the following rating system (borrowed from delynnberry & smartdesigns competition "thank you"):
1 star - Wrong direction, start over
2 star - Some elements we like, but it's still a miss
3 star - Interesting concept that needs further refinement. You're getting close but need revisions or a different angle to your design
4 star - A great design. Probably only needs a tweak of color or shading.
5 star - You've made the Final Cut.
See requirements brief at http://tummytankz.com/PackagingDesi…ements.doc.
Please read brief in entirety prior to submitting designs and feel free to leave a comment seeking clarification on any points.
Best Regards,

I haven't done one of these in a while. In fact, my circumstances were different last time I did. Right now, my circumstances are such that the only place I really have to go is the grocery store. Since I work from home, I only leave the house if I want to go somewhere or see someone.
So these are the places I'm going.
What places do you love that I need to try?
