Ghana court upholds election results in ruling
ACCRA, Ghana (AP) — Ghana's supreme court has upheld the results of the last presidential election following an opposition challenge.
Justice William Atuguba read the announcement Thursday, which confirms President John Mahama's victory.
The New Patriotic Party had cited irregularities during the vote held in December, though opposition leader Nana Akufo-Addo told the media Thursday he accepts the decision of the court.
Mahama had won the election with 50.7 percent of the vote, according to the country's electoral body. Akufo-Addo came in second with 47.7 percent of the vote.
Ghana, a West African nation of 25 million people, is one of the few established and stable democracies in the region.
The government called on citizens to act in a way that "will further enhance Ghana's credentials as a land of peace and stability."

Vornado Realty Trust has struck a deal to purchase a Fifth Avenue building in Manhattan that's currently home to Italian luxury goods retailer Ferragamo, according to the company.
Vornado, a Paramus-based real estate investment trust, has agreed to pay $278 million to acquire 92.5 percent of the 57,500-square-foot property, located at the northeast corner of Fifth Avenue and 52nd Street, in Manhattan. The remaining 7.5 percent is owned by Madison Capital, a New York real estate investment firm.
The purchase should be complete some time in the fourth quarter of this year, according to Vornado. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Fifth Avenue space is home to Ferragamo's flagship Manhattan store. The retailer holds a lease for the property through 2028.

Bread on the stem
Do they still teach little children that bread is made from flour and that flour is made from the wheat that farmers grow? It's important that they know that farming is an honorable occupation and that farm products are vital to our nation and the world.
Food doesn't magically sprout from the grocery store shelves. If it weren't for the farmers who grow our food, we'd have to grow it ourselves. Do they tell school children that, nowadays?
The wheat in the photo above is in our Mennonite neighbor's field, across the road from our house. The tallest stalks are a full five feet. This field should make a lot of straw in addition to many bushels of grain. Well done, Willis, and thank you.

When the economy took a dive in 2008 and the construction industry's work dried up, so did much of the market for dump trailers.
As construction begins coming back, there's a growing demand for new dumps. Demand also is being driven by other emerging trends in the market.
To get a better understanding of what is happening in the dump market at both a national and regional level, we spoke with manufacturers and dealers about what's selling and what trends they are seeing.
What's selling?
Mike Dye, current president of National Trailer Dealers Association and president of Southwest Trailers & Equipment, Oklahoma City, says business for dump trailers has been down significantly.
"The dump trailer market for the last four, five years, is averaging about 40% of what it has been in traditional years," he says. "It went down in 2008 and has not recovered."
Southwest Trailers has compensated for the lackluster dump market by beefing up its tank trailer and flatbed business.
What dumps they are selling, Dye says, are belly dumps. "Here in Oklahoma they are used for road building, but also for oil and gas drilling, to make roads out to the sites and for pad preparation."
In Caledonia, Wis., at Amston Supply, President Michael Hribar says problems in the agriculture industry also have affected his bottom line.
"Overall, the general dump market has been soft in the last 12 months, with construction and a drought that affected agriculture," Hribar says. "I think we should see an increase this year, with low interest rates, improving economy and pent-up demand. In general there's not a lot of good used equipment out there, so they'll be forced to buy new."
Hribar says the demand for dumps to haul scrap has been pretty steady, and that belly dumps are being sold to operators in western Wisconsin and Minnesota to haul sand for the fracking industry.
The market for dumps in Phoenix, Ariz., evaporated along with the construction industry when the housing market fell apart in the area, according to Doug Hansen, sales manager with Utility Trailer Sales Co. of Arizona. And while the housing market nationally has started to recover, Hansen says the construction market is still very quiet.
While demand is down, Hansen says they are selling high-sided trash and demolition trailers to recycling companies in Phoenix.
"Depending on the price of metal and other recyclables, that source of demand also goes up and down," he says.
In Charlotte, N.C., the market for dumps is returning bit by bit, according to Rick Gibson, owner and general manager of Trailer Specialist. "The market is returning. Sales started picking back up in the second and third quarter of 2012 right along with construction."
Gibson says his company is currently selling more dumps made from steel than aluminum. "The construction industry tends to be buying heavy steel trailers in order to handle clearing debris."
The national market & trends
Sales are reviving as the construction industry returns to life, while oil and gas drilling and scrap dealers and demolition contractors have buoyed the dump trailer business all through the recession, several manufacturers say.
Bottom dumps are being sold to petroleum and gas drillers to haul aggregate to prepare production pads amid farm and ranch lands, says Tom Bolan, vice president, sales and marketing at Clement Industries in Mindin, La.
"Bottoms are used in south Texas, Oklahoma, in certain parts of Louisiana for oil and gas fields," he says. "There's a huge market in North Dakota," though it has slowed as producers cut back due to low prices for natural gas.
"Side dumps go out west or up into Minnesota, where they're aggressively replacing bottom and end dumps. Belly dumps have to move over your load, but side dumps can lay down a nice edge row. And end dumps have to go up in the air," which can be risky in strong wind. You still don't want to be on an angle with side dumps, he says, because they can turn over, too.
"Belly dumps are still a fixture in the marketplace, though, and will continue to be a huge segment in the market," Bolan says. He adds that abrasion-resistant 450 steel has become the standard for many dump trailers.
AR-450 is also what East Manufacturing, better known for the aluminum dumpers and flatbeds it makes in Randolph, Ohio, also uses for steel, says Charlie Wells, vice president, sales and marketing. "We have steel in our product line but we don't promote it. We've focused on construction and demolition markets with tubs with 20-inch radius lower corners and no outside ribs. We also build full-frame, frameless and quarter frame dumps."
AR-450 steel in 1/4- and 3/16-inch sheets are shaped for the bottoms and sides and welded together. The strong but lightweight steel resists denting and scraping.
East has found success with its Hybrid aluminum dump trailers, which use a half-rounded floor and straight double-wall sides from the Genesis line of end-dump trailers, Wells says. He contends that Hybrids are stiffer than traditional half-round end-dumps, so are more stable during tipping and last longer. The sides are especially stiff and don't bow under load, so are easy to tarp.
Genesis sides are welded together from oblong aluminum panels, and the structure is strong and lightweight. With no outside braces and smooth surfaces, they are also aerodynamic. "Customers say they get better fuel economy with Genesis dumps, but we haven't done any testing to prove that," Wells says.
Corrosion from aggressive road salts has been an issue for years, so East uses galvanizing and soft-coat paint on steel parts, some of them bought from suppliers like Hendrick-son. Truck-Lite wiring harnesses and light fixtures that have "fit and forget" plugs are standard.
While Mac Trailers makes both steel and aluminum dumps, customer demand for the weight and fuel savings aluminum can bring has greatly outpaced the demand for steel dump trailers.
"The majority of what we are selling is aluminum — about 80%," says Dan Tubbs, Mac's vice president of manufacturing.
Increasing demand for weight and fuel savings also has led Mac Trailer to incorporate dump styles and designs into its product lineup that address those needs.
Along with the traditional square design, Mac has designed a sloped nose radius bulkhead. "This design is better aesthetically and aerodynamically," says Joe Dennis, dump trailer product manager for Mac. "The new design creates less drag, which adds up to fuel savings."
Recently the company introduced the first Macsimizer all-aluminum radius bulkhead half round dump trailer. The radius bulkhead allows for a low profile front end with a low center of gravity, providing a 7-inch lower front end and a 6-inch lower back end, with 31 inches less flat space on the bulkhead compared to a standard flat bulkhead. This maximizes aerodynamics and helps improve fuel economy.
The Macsimizer half round also has smooth sidewalls, which create less drag resistance.
For customers who need the structural integrity of steel, but also are interested in weight savings, Mac Trailer is offering the Mac Steel Lite. It is an all-steel body incorporating aluminum components, which saves more than 1,100 pounds versus the conventional all-steel configuration.

The 'Bullet' survives bankruptcy
A bottom-dump design widely used in the West and elsewhere is the Beall Bullet, fashioned of aluminum sheeting and interior bracing that is aerodynamic in performance. Beall, the company, is now in bankruptcy and liquidating its assets, but the Bullet survives and will be produced by a new owner.
Bullet operations, including a plant in Sunnyside, Wash., have been bought by ShirAul LLC, of Scotts Bluff, Neb. Lanny Lucara, vice president of sales and marketing at Aulick Leasing, a ShirAul arm in Billings, Mont., said the acquisition was effective January 7.
"We acquired a backlog of orders, and in this last month we've taken some additional orders," he said in mid-February. "Some demand was out there, kind of on hold, while customers were waiting to see what happened with Beall."
With the acquisition, production continues. The Bullet is offered with numerous axle configurations and capacities for use in various states, with double-trailer combinations grossing up to 140,000 pounds, Lancara said.
The Bullet's aero design saves fuel because the trailer is easier to pull, Lancara said, but Beall couldn't use "aerodynamic" in its claims since a competitor complained in 2007. Beall never tested the trailer, but some customers reported 10% to 14% better fuel economy with it.
Beall, based in Portland, Ore., meanwhile sold off other businesses as part of the bankruptcy. Its tank trailer operations went to Wabash National through Wabash's recently acquired Walker Group, another tank-trailer and body manufacturer. And Beall's widespread parts and service business went to Polar Corp. Those two transactions were announced in January by Polar and Wabash.

Almost all my programming experience comes from writing server-side code with Java and Spring, but as a wise man once sang, the times they are a-changing. The Java Platform now supports multiple languages from different programming paradigms and technologies such as node.js have brought JavaScript to the server side. Our toolbox is evolvingand we developers need to make sure that we are not left behind!node.js
So why did I choose to begin with JavaScript?. To start with, $$$. The market is crying out for JavaScript developers! In addition, you can pretty much create a full stack application with JavaScript. For an old backend developer like me, JavaScript knowledge will open up the front end, while giving me alternative tools for both server side (i.e. node.js) and database (i.e. TaffyDB) development.
The JavaScript ecosystem is undergoing a huge amount of innovation right now. New libraries and frameworks are becoming available constantly. For me this makes JavaScript an exciting place to be, with seemingly limitless possibilities.
And finally,

A main motivator for using the Uno was that I had one lying around in the office, so I could get cracking straight away! Note that theres lots of alternatives to the Arduino Uno, such as the Raspberry PI, Netduino and Spark Core as well as other Arduino models. All of these alternatives have different strengths and weaknesses, and should be evaluated depending on the goal of your project.

Michigan State has added depth to its frontcourt by adding forward Gavin Schilling.
Schilling signed a letter of intent Wednesday to play for the Spartans.
The Chicagoan might get a chance to compete for a lot of playing time if Adreian Payne chooses to skip his senior season to enter the NBA draft.
Schilling averaged 13.9 points, nine rebounds and two-plus blocks last season at Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev.
Michigan State coach Tom Izzo says he's excited about Schilling joining the program because he comes from a tremendous program and a great family. Izzo says the 17-year-old Schilling does a good job of defending, rebounding and running the court.
Schilling was born in Germany and lived in France before moving in 2003 to the United States.

"Don't let me die." Those were the words 10-year-old Colby Vento pleaded to his father Sunday evening after their snowmobile plunged through the ice into Lake Ripple.
"Don't let me die."
Those were the words 10-year-old Colby Vento pleaded to his father Sunday evening after their snowmobile plunged through the ice into Lake Ripple.
"He kept saying, 'Don't let me go under,' " Michael Vento, 38, said Monday. "I said, 'Colby, hold onto to me as hard as you can. I'm not going to let anything happen to you.' "
Both son and dad were home safe after spending four hours at UMass Memorial Medical Center — University Campus in Worcester. They were treated for hypothermia.
Fighting to keep above water, the father and son reached out to the ice in front of them, to no avail.
"I just wanted to keep him alive. I just held onto him as tight as I could," Mr. Vento said. "Every time we tried to climb up on the ice it broke."
The father and son had joined other ice fishermen and riders on the ice Sunday evening. They wanted to take a quick ride on their snowmobile before the Super Bowl.
Within five minutes the ride morphed from an enjoyable time on the snowmobile to a harrowing ordeal.
There was an old ice fishing hole cut near the snowmobile. Mr. Vento saw water bubbling. Mr. Vento, who has been snowmobiling for more than a decade, tried to cut the wheel away from the hole. It was too late; the ice gave way.
"It didn't even crack. It just gave out," he said.
Grafton police received a 911 call about 5:30 p.m. from Jessica Zaleski reporting that a snowmobile had gone through the ice on Lake Ripple behind Bernard Road, Grafton police said in a news release.
Officer Dan Wenc was flagged down by Mrs. Zaleski near the scene, and she showed him where the accident occurred. Her husband, Roger Zaleski, was out on the ice trying to reach the Ventos.
Mrs. Zaleski said she had heard a snowmobile driving on the ice. Then she and her husband heard the sound of the snowmobile stop. The Zaleskis checked the ice and saw the two riders had gone through the ice.
Office Wenc grabbed a life ring buoy and rope. He saw the father and son.
"Both were struggling to stay afloat and get out of the ice," police said.
Mr. Zaleski was about halfway out on the ice trying to reach the father and son. They were about 50 feet from shore. Officer Wenc went onto the ice and threw the life ring buoy to the Ventos. Grafton Deputy Fire Chief Michael Mills and Firefighter Brett Mills arrived to assist.
The two victims grabbed the buoy, and the officer, deputy fire chief and firefighter began to pull them to safety. They were able to pull Colby out.
Firefighter Mills moved out onto the ice as Mr. Vento struggled to get out of the water, police said. The firefighter and other personnel found a canoe and used it to pull Mr. Vento out. The father and son were in the water for 10 minutes.
"They (police and fire officials) were running, trying everything they could to help us," Mr. Vento said. "If they hadn't shown up when they did ..."
He lauded the Zaleskis for hearing their screams and calling for police.
By the time police and fire officials freed Mr. Vento, he was spent.
"I had no strength to kick and stay above water," he said. "I was shaking so bad."
The 1993 snowmobile that Mr. Vento just restored was under the water. At the hospital Sunday, Colby just wanted to see his father.
"We're doing good. We're still a little shaken up," Mr. Vento said. "We're just glad we got out alive. He knows I was there to protect him."

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyThe African hobby hunts on the wing, chasing after its prey with great speed and agility. Insects, especially winged termites, make up the bulk of the diet, and are eaten in flight. Small birds and possibly a few small mammals are also caught, and taken to a perch to consume (2) (4) (5). Most hunting takes place at dawn and dusk, the birds resting in tall trees for much of the day. Although generally found alone or in pairs, groups of up to 30 African hobbies may congregate when termites or locusts are swarming (2) (4). Like other falcons, the African hobby does not usually build its own nest, but instead takes over the nests of other species, often evicting the original owners (2) (5). Breeding takes place between December and April in western and north-eastern Africa, and between August and November in more southern areas. Two to three eggs are laid and hatch after an incubation period of around 30 days, during which time the male brings food to the female. The young fledge after about 30 days (2).

|Dudley M. Shively
Because this is Memorial Day weekend a search was done for Shively related information. Located in The Elkhart Weekly Review, Elkhart, Indiana, June 3, 1908, Page 4, Column 4 was the following: D. M. Shively To Be Orator: Hon. Dudley M. Shively of South Bend will deliver the address next Sunday afternoon, when the W.O.W. and Woodman Circle of this city will unveil three monuments in Grace Lawn cemetery, which will be the lodge's annual Memorial Day. It is customary to unveil monuments and also to decorate the graves on that day. The Elkhart W.O.W. has twelve monuments and the Woodmen Circle has two monuments in this city; and two deceased social members buried here. It is expected that the two organizations will have a very large turnout, and visitors from neighboring cities are expected to attend.
The family of Dudley M. Shively is very well documented in the records of St. Joseph County, Indiana. Extracted from the South Bend And The Men Who Have Made It, Historical, Descriptive, Biographical, Illustrated, Compiled by Anderson & Cooley, South Bend, The Tribune Printing Co., 1901, Page 128-129 is the following biography: Dudely M. Shively - Mr. Dudley M. Shively, one of St. Joseph County's able attorneys and a leading business man, is a native of South Bend, having been born here January 18, 1871. Mr.Shively comes of a family highly prominent in this section, his father, Daniel Shively, having been for many years engaged in the dry goods trade here, and it was in his store that the subject of this sketch received his practical business training. His mother was Hattie (Butler) Shively. In the public schools of this city young Shively received his preliminary education, and in 1889 he graduated at the South Bend High school. Mr. Shively decided to take up a professional life, and in 1891 entered the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor where he received the degree of L. L. B., upon his graduation in 1892. He returned to South Bend and entered the law department of Notre Dame, and received his degree of Master of Laws. He was admitted to the bar and in 1892 began the practice of general law and has built up a large and permanent practice. In his profession Mr. Shively is a careful counselor and an able attorney. In business life he has won for himself a name as a practical business man of rare ability. In 1899 Mr. Shively saw an opportunity in the oil business, and with a small capital he opened up the famous field in Jasper County that he sold to the Byrd Syndicate of London, England. The field is a prolific one and the only one east of the Mississippi river producing an oil, which, under a process owned by the Byrd Syndicate, can be used in the manufacture of an imitation of Para rubber, and for the manufacture of rubber paint. Mr. Shively was a secretary of the Inter State Oil Company which he sold, and he is now secretary of the Inter State Petroleum Oil & Gas Company, and the Bailey Oil Company, both operating extensively in the Jasper County field. Mr. Shively is a very large holder of valuable oil property in Adams and Jay Counties. These properties are being rapidly developed under his energetic business methods and promise to be among the most valuable and large producing wells in the country. Mr. Shively was married June 24,1896, to Miss Janette M. Johnson, of Niles, Michigan, and resides in a handsome home at the corner of South Franklin and Elmira streets. He is popular in social life, and is a member of the Masons, Knights of Pythias, Woodmen of the World, Modern Woodmen and the Maccabess, and of Murat Temple Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, of Indianapolis.

Attorney: Court should deny PLT's attempt to delay order to return $17.1mBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 22. 2013 10:10PM
CONCORD — The state Supreme Court should deny the latest attempt by Property-Liability Trust, a former New Hampshire Local Government Center subsidiary, to delay complying with a hearing officer order to return $17.1 million to members of a separate health insurer, a state Bureau of Securities Regulation attorney wrote in a responding brief.
"The Court has grounds to deny the instant request for a stay for a number of reasons," Volinsky wrote.
Last year, LGC, after a lengthy hearing with its regulator, the Bureau of Securities Regulation, was ordered to give the money back to members of HealthTrust, another former LGC subsidiary. The hearing officer, Donald Mitchell, ruled that the money had been improperly transferred from HealthTrust to subsidize a workers' compensation program for about a decade.
The payment is due Dec. 1, but PLT does not have the money. PLT had asked for the stay partly because it claims it doesn't have the cash to make the payment and was unable to secure a loan to cover the payment.LGC, which was also ordered to split up its subsidiaries and pay back surpluses of $33 million to HealthTrust members and $3.1 million to PLT members, has appealed the order to the state Supreme Court, though it made the first two payments in August. Arguments in the case are scheduled for next month, but a decision likely will not be handed down before Dec. 1, prompting PLT to ask for a stay in the payment until the court rules on the appeal.
A previous attempt for a stay of the entire order was denied by the court last year.
PLT attorneys argued in their request that the order could cause PLT to close its operations as "failure to stay the Final Order as to the $17.1 million payment would cause irreparable harm to PLT, while a stay would cause no corresponding harm to the New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation (the "Bureau") or the public interest."
Volinsky argued that the court shouldn't grant this stay request based on the possibility of harm to PLT and that PLT "misperceives" the balance of harm by arguing that the BSR would not suffer harm if a stay is granted.
"The Court should consider the impact of the stay upon the towns, cities, school districts and counties ... who are entitled to the refunded surplus that is due and who are also entitled to know if their workers compensation insurer is capable of complying with regulatory orders before those members pay another year's premiums," he wrote.
"In my opinion, there was nothing in the BSR's response that demonstrates granting the stay until the Supreme Court can rule on the appeal will cause any additional adverse impact or possible harm," PLT Executive Director Wendy Parker said.

A drunk man put a girl in a headlock in a Glossop nightclub and then stamped on another clubber's head, a court heard.
Matthew Roberts admitted two counts of assault and was sentenced to a community order at High Peak Magistrates' Court last Wednesday.
The court heard that both incidents occurred in the early hours of January 5, at Club HQ, on High Street East.
Victim Lucy Gregory said the 24-year-old kept bumping into her and her sister, Emily, who were dancing nearby.
She shoved Roberts, of Moorland Road, Stalybridge, and told him to stop standing on her feet.
He swore at her and told her to shut up and pointed his finger in her face.
The complainant's sister grabbed him and he put Miss Gregory in a headlock and forced her onto the floor, grabbing her ponytail.
Bouncers threw Roberts out, who proceeded to push Daniel Gaunt to the floor and stamp on his head.
He suffered bruising to his cheek and eye and a cut in his mouth.
Prosecutor John Cooper said: "It's lucky, and not down to your judgement, that we're not looking at a more serious charge."
Roberts, who was representing himself, said he completely regretted both incidents.
He said: "I've never done anything like this before. I've regretted it ever since and I will for the rest of my life. In September, I was the victim of an assault. My jaw was broken in three places and I was in hospital for a week. I've rarely gone out since."
Addressing the defendant, chairman of the bench Robert Whatmough said: "The assault outside was very serious, unprovoked and totally unwarranted.
"The assault in September may have had an effect but you need to rise above that; you're an intelligent man."
He was sentenced to an eight-week curfew from 9pm to 7am and 200 hours of unpaid work.
Roberts was also ordered to pay £50 compensation to Miss Gregory, £200 to Mr Gaunt, £85 court costs and a £60 victim surcharge.

The New BlackBerry Hits the Tape
One of the side benefits of changing both your name and your ticker symbol is that it is like getting a fresh start on stock price ranges. BlackBerry (NASDAQ: BBRY), the new name for what used to be Research In Motion, went live today with a new ticker symbol and the stock's new 52-week high is $14.45, compared with last Friday's high of $18.32.
BlackBerry's shares opened at $13.03 this morning and are up more than 10% on no news. Investors cannot seem to decide whether the new BlackBerry phones will be winners or losers once they hit the U.S. market in mid-March.
Early reports from the United Kingdom, where the new phones were available beginning last Thursday, indicated that the touch-screen Z10 is nearly sold out. One analyst said that BlackBerry had provided "at least several hundred thousand units" for sale in the U.K.
For comparison, the iPhone 5 sold more than 5 million units in the United States in its first weekend. The U.S. market is about five times larger than the U.K. market, which means that first weekend sales are going pretty well for BlackBerry.
The Z10 goes on sale tomorrow in Canada and China, with Middle Eastern markets scheduled to receive the new phones next week.

THINK YOU'RE a loser just because you dropped out of high school and never finished the military training you began?
Think you're a dud just because you work as a security guard even though you dreamed of becoming a global savior?
Well, don't beat yourself up. You, too, can become an international super spy like Edward Snowden.
Snowden, 29, and possessing all the qualifications to become a grocery bagger, instead gets hired by the National Security Agency as a security guard, after dropping out of high school and the Army.
This naturally brings him to the attention of the Central Intelligence Agency, which hires him and sends him to Geneva, Switzerland, with diplomatic cover and a high security clearance.
With all that on his résumé, he gets scooped up by defense contractor colossus Booz Allen Hamilton, which assigns him to work at an NSA facility in Hawaii for a reported $200,000 per year. This allows Snowden to rent a house near the beach for him and his girlfriend.
Not that Snowden wasn't carefully vetted. Booz Allen, which was paid 1.3 billion U.S. tax dollars in the last fiscal year to safeguard U.S. intelligence secrets, issued a statement Sunday: "Booz Allen can confirm that Edward Snowden, 29, has been an employee of our firm for less than three months, assigned to a team in Hawaii. News reports that this individual has claimed to have leaked classified information are shocking. ."
He worked there less than three months? A guy with hardly any qualifications is earning $200,000 a year with access to classified information after less than three months?
Is this the American dream or what?
Some would think this is not a bad life for a guy who has been a total slacker. But this is not what Edward Snowden thinks. He has still not saved the world nor become an international celebrity.
So first he leaks classified information that reveals our government is collecting information on all phone calls made on the Verizon network and then leaks classified info that reveals the government collects Internet data on foreigners from companies like Google and Facebook.
The U.S. government has two contradictory responses to the leaks. First, it says, the stuff Snowden has leaked is no big deal and the media are guilty of "hyperbole" in their reporting on it.
On the other hand, according to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, "For me, it is literally - not figuratively - literally gut wrenching to see this happen because of the huge, grave damage it does to our intelligence capabilities."
So take your pick.
In any case, Snowden flees the United States to a luxury hotel in - wait for it - China.
True, it is Hong Kong, a fabulous city brimming with soaring skyscrapers, marvelous restaurants, a glamorous nightlife and people of copious wealth. And true, Hong Kong, operates as a "semi-autonomous region" of China in which people have more rights.
But as James Fallows of The Atlantic recently wrote: "Hong Kong is not a sovereign country. It is part of China - a country that by the libertarian standards Edward Snowden says he cares about is worse, not better, than the United States.
"It has even more surveillance of its citizens. . Its press is thoroughly government-controlled; it has no legal theory of protection for free speech; and it doesn't even have national elections."
Oh, well, small slip-up. But at least Snowden can live there as a political refugee even if the United States wants him back, right?
Uh, probably not. Regina Ip, a legislator and former security secretary in Hong Kong, told The Wall Street Journal that "We work very closely with U.S. authorities" and Snowden's choice of Hong Kong as a refuge is "really being based on unfortunate ignorance."
But Snowden never claimed to be a genius. Maybe the history of modern China was not on his GED exam.
It appears that what Snowden really wants to be is a superhero in his own comic book. In dealing with Washington Post reporter Barton Gellman, Snowden assigns himself the code name "Verax" and Gellman the code name "BRASSBANNER."
"I understand that I will be made to suffer for my actions," he dramatically writes Gellman. And later: "There's no saving me."
He also writes Gellman that the U.S. intelligence community "will most certainly kill you" if it thinks Gellman's murder might stop the leaks from being published. Gellman, an experienced and distinguished reporter, said he did not take this "literally."
But Edward Snowden does not live in a literal world. After the comic book there could be a movie, a "Snowden Ultimatum" kind of thing. (Matt Damon is 42, but he could play 29.)
Sunday, from his Hong Kong hotel room, Snowden continued to communicate with - the still alive - Gellman.
"There's no precedent in my life for this kind of thing," Snowden wrote. "I've been a spy for almost all of my adult life - I don't like being in the spotlight."
Which is the trouble with spies. You can't believe a word they say.

Boom times have a lot of unwanted side effects for residents of small towns.
Alva, Oklahoma is a much busier place than it used to be. Motor vehicle traffic has increased considerably since the boom took hold. Just trying turning east onto Highway 64 where it intersects with US Highway 281, and you'll have plenty of time to sit and count the pickup and tank trucks with company logos rolling by.
The increased oil boom traffic poses an added risk for travelers in the region. Last spring, I was headed west toward Coldwater on Highway 160 when an oil tanker topped a hill in the middle of the highway, swerving over just before it reached me. Everyone likely has experienced being tailgated by a tank truck. As I understand, drivers are paid by the load, and time is money, so keep that in mind while you're traveling the highways and byways of oil boom country.
Besides increased traffic, local residents in places like Alva contend with longer check out lines at Wal Mart and increased crowds at local restaurants. That's a good problem for business, which hopefully will all survive once the oil business fades.
I don't know if it's directly attributable to the oil boom, but the price of gasoline in Alva over the past few years has consistently been 10-30 cents higher than it is in Pratt. Before the oil boom, the price there was lower then it is here.
Another impact upon local residents in these boom times has been an increase in the crime rate. It seems like almost every time I visit family in Alva I hear about the latest break in at a local business. But that's not all that's disappearing. A year or so ago I recall a story about a new pick up truck that was stolen from a farm in broad daylight while the owners were inside of a home nearby. At least once a week, it seems, Alva's Newsgram runs at least one article about domestic violence or a drug-related arrest.
What will Alva and other communities look like once the oil boom leaves town? There will probably be a lot of empty lots, particularly where oilfield-related businesses once stood. Some local businesses may close their doors or at least reduce hours of operation, due to customers tapering off. Hopefully, the water supply won't be compromised by the fracking currently underway in the area. The oil industry claims that there is no danger to the subsurface water supply by fracking, which uses a high-pressurized water mixed with chemicals and sand to break apart rocks to get to oil previously inaccessible. Likewise, the Grand Canyon was formed by "just a little water." As far as I'm concerned, the jury is still out on how fracking may impact the water supply.
Overall, it's difficult to say whether the boom will leave a positive or negative impact for longtime residents of small oil boom towns near the 99th Meridian. Hopefully, those displaced by higher rent prices will be able to find affordable housing once the bust happens.
I'll simply close with this bit of advice for plains towns like Alva: now is the time to invest in the infrastructure—while the money is still flowing—or at least it is time to set aside funds to invest in the community once the company-logoed trucks leave town. Alva's city streets would be a great place to start. In most parts of town, little has been done to improve residential streets since I attended high school there in the early 1980s.
Hopefully, towns like Alva will not go bust without benefiting in some way its established residents, most of whom don't profit from the increased local cash flow but simply have to contend daily with the side effects of living in a boom town.

text: Ranching is a business, but more importantly it is a lifestyle. Both the industry and California's rich ranching and western heritage would not be sustainable without a strong commitment to maintain the health of California's cattle herd. Cattlemen and women are responsible for caring for their livestock and providing the necessary food, water and attention to raise healthy livestock. Without the ongoing dedication by California producers to maintaining the highest standards for animal welfare, the ability to earn a livelihood in the cattle industry would not be possible. CCA policies demonstrate this commitment and members have adopted policies that underline this responsibility to ensure producers throughout the state are raising healthy cattle, which in turn, will produce healthy beef. Maintaining a high level of animal welfare is also based on the ability to provide professional care for livestock. This includes continued access to veterinarians, trained technicians and the use of medicine to prevent diseases and treat sick animals. CCA also strongly supports continued research to cure diseases affecting livestock and develop new drugs that will help ranchers produce healthy cattle. Food safety is equally important and ranchers recognize the appropriate role of evaluating the use of certain antibiotics or routine treatments on food safety.

R.I.P., Margaret Thatcher: We all owe 'The Iron Lady'
April 08. 2013 7:45PM
Margaret Thatcher, who died on Monday at age 87, was strength of character personified. When she rose to prominence, and then power, in the 1960s and '70s, socialism was ascendant in Britain, and the free-market, limited government ideas she championed were deeply out of fashion. Liberals were thrilled that a mere "suburban housewife" with a shrill voice and unpopular ideas rose to lead her party. They were not happy for long.
Thatcher worked harder, planned better and argued more persuasively than anyone on either side. She was every bit "The Iron Lady," a nickname given her by the Soviet army newspaper "Red Star" in 1976. Thatcher led the party of Winston Churchill back to power by showing Britain a way out of the financial and cultural pit into which socialism had thrown it. She did not offer the British people socialism with a smiley face. She pledged to overthrow it entirely and give them something better in its place: freedom and prosperity.
That she did. Thatcher saw with uncommon clarity the threat collectivism posed to the West. She pointed out in the 1970s that the further Britain moved away from what she called a "free society," the weaker and less wealthy it became. By the late 1970s, a majority saw that she was right, and the freedoms she succeeded in restoring in the 1980s made Britain once again a strong and prosperous nation.
She fought collectivism bravely, both at home and abroad, and she wounded it gravely. Because of her, millions are freer and wealthier than they otherwise would be, and the apostles of forced collectivization have been on a three-decade retreat. We all owe her a tremendous debt. May she rest in peace.

Cameron Smith has taken out his second Dally M medal 11 years after his first, one of three gongs the Storm skipper took during the lavish awards ceremony.
Smith (33 points) was a runaway winner ahead of fellow grand finalist and Cowboy Michael Morgan (25 points), and St George Illawarra playmaker Gareth Widdop (24).
Roosters five-eighth Luke Keary and Cronulla captain Paul Gallen finished equal fourth on 22 points.
Smith also took out captain of the year and hooker of the year honours on a triumphant night at The Star casino.
Storm coach Craig Bellamy took out the coach of the year, while Billy Slater was named fullback of the year to cap a big evening for the minor premiers.
Suliasi Vunivalu was also honoured as the game's top tryscorer for the second year in a row.
Smith was one of the shortest-priced favourites in Dally M history. He now has the chance to compile the greatest season by an individual in rugby league history.
With the Dally M medal, a State of Origin series and a minor premiership already in his keeping, the 34-year-old has the opportunity add a grand final ring, the Clive Churchill Medal, the Golden Boot and a World Cup to his collection.
While some have come close, no player has ever enjoyed such an unprecedented level of success in the one season. Barely a week goes by without Smith breaking a record or notching another milestone.
The veteran rake recently overtook Lockyer for most NRL games and surpassed his mark for most wins at premiership level.
He is contracted for next year but has indicated he could play on into 2019, raising the prospect of becoming the first man to break the 400-game mark.
The Storm are the favourites to take out the grand final against North Queensland, with most betting agencies installing Smith as the Clive Churchill medal favourite.
Smith's second Dally M was the first under a revised voting process including a new panel after the NRL took over the awards from News Corp. Several new awards were handed out, with Penrith's Reagan Campbell-Gillard tackle out interchange player of the year, while Parramatta's Nathan Brown took out tackle of the year.
It was a good night for Canberra's outside backs. Jordan Rapana was named winger of the year, while Nick Cotric took out rookie of the year honours.
Morgan was named the halfback of the year after taking his game to a new level in the absence of Thurston, while Cowboys teammate Kyle Feldt scored the best try of the season.
Parramatta's Clint Gutherson won the Provan Summons People's Choice award , while Simaima Taufa was the female player of the year.

(Boston) - People living in states with stronger alcohol policy environments have a substantially lower likelihood of any binge drinking, frequent binge drinking, and high-intensity binge drinking, according to a new study by researchers at the Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) and Boston Medical Center (BMC), published in the current issue of the American Journal of Public Health.
Specifically, the study found, each 10 percentage point increase in the strength of a state's alcohol policy score (reflecting more effective and/or better implemented alcohol policies) was associated with an 8 percent reduced likelihood of a person engaging in any binge drinking or binge drinking five or more times in the past 30 days; and a 10 percent reduced likelihood of consuming 10 or more drinks while binge drinking. In determining the results, researchers accounted for a variety of factors associated with alcohol consumption, such as age, sex, race, religion, income, geographic region, urban-rural differences and levels of police and alcohol enforcement personnel.
"This study shows that alcohol policies matter -- and matter a lot - for reducing a person's risk of binge drinking, which is a leading cause of premature death and disability in the U.S.," said Ziming Xuan, lead author of the study and an assistant professor of community health sciences at BUSPH. "Our findings pertain not only to those who binge drink occasionally, but to those who do so frequently, or who consume the largest amounts of alcohol on any given occasion."
Binge drinking is responsible for more than half of the 80,000 alcohol-attributable deaths in the United States each year, and three-quarters of the $224 billion in annual economic costs. It is defined as consuming four or more drinks (for women) and five or more drinks (for men) during a drinking occasion. State binge drinking information for adults aged 18 years of age and older was obtained from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys from 2005-2010.
Researchers analyzed data on 29 alcohol policies that are tracked by the Alcohol Policy Information System and other data sources. These policies were rated by an expert panel, based on their theoretical effectiveness and the degree to which were fully implemented in a particular state and year.
Among all policies assessed, those raising the price of alcohol and those reducing its physical availability were the most protective against binge drinking. Within those two policy categories, higher alcohol taxes and reduced numbers of alcohol outlets accounted for approximately half of the effect of all 29 policies combined.
"Unfortunately, most states have not fully utilized available policy tools to reduce binge drinking among their citizens, despite widespread and consistent scientific evidence demonstrating their effectiveness," said the study's senior author, Dr. Timothy Naimi, a physician at BMC and associate professor at BUSPH. "If alcohol policies were a newly discovered gene, pill or vaccine, we'd be investing billions of dollars to bring them to market."
Examples of effective alcohol policies include higher alcohol taxes, having fewer outlets licensed to sell alcohol, bans on happy hours and discount drink specials, earlier bar closing times, and laws to reduce impaired driving.
The study was supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health. Co-authors include: Jason Blanchette; Toben Nelson; Nadiua Oussayef and Timothy Heeren.

No magic as ex-Sox OF Ross foils Red Sox
By DOUG ALDEN
The Sports Xchange
BOSTON — Cody Ross went 4-for-5 with a home run and three RBIs in his return to Boston as the Arizona Diamondbacks held off the Red Sox 7-6 on Friday night.
Paul Goldschmidt hit a two-run homer for the Diamondbacks, who tagged Boston pitchers for 16 hits.
Randall Delgado (4-3) rode the offensive surge to his fourth straight win and Brad Ziegler picked up his sixth save despite allowing singles to Stephen Drew and Jacoby Ellsbury in the bottom of the ninth. Ziegler made a nice barehanded play on a grounder by Dustin Pedroia and threw to first for the final out.
Drew and David Ortiz hit two-run homers for Boston, which remained one game up on Tampa Bay for first place in the American League East after San Francisco's 4-1 win over the Rays on Friday night.
Ross started in left for Arizona and received mostly cheers in his first at-bat in Boston since he played for the Red Sox last year. He was 3-for-3 with two doubles before his solo homer in the seventh off Pedro Beato (1-1) barely cleared the Green Monster in left field.
Umpires reviewed it briefly before agreeing a fan did not interfere and the run stood. It turned out to be the winning hit.
Ross had 22 home runs and 81 RBIs in 2012 for Boston and signed with the Diamondbacks as a free agent in December. He said before the game that he felt "jaded" that the Red Sox passed on him before signing free agents Shane Victorino and Mike Napoli.
While Ross said he had put it behind him, he played like he still held a bit of a grudge.
Delgado started to tire in the sixth. One batter after Jarrod Saltalamacchia came just a yard or two short of a homer to right center, Drew hit one out to almost the same location for a two-run shot that tied it at 6. It was the fourth earned run off Delgado, who had not allowed more than three earned runs in his first eight starts.
Drew's homer also saved Boston starter Jon Lester from a possible loss after he allowed a season-high 11 hits in 4 1/3 innings.
Arizona scored six runs off Lester before he left in the top of the fifth after Martin Prado and Ross hit back-to-back RBI doubles as the Diamond backs scored three times for a 6-5 lead.
Arizona jumped on Lester with two runs in the first inning on Goldschmidt's 25th homer of the season. It was one of three extra-base hits in the inning for the Diamondbacks, who also got doubles by Aaron Hill and Ross.
The Red Sox got the runs right back in the bottom of the first when Ellsbury led off with a triple and scored on Ortiz's two-run homer to center. Ortiz's 21st homer of the season ended Delgado's 15 1/3-inning scoreless streak.
Boston added two unearned runs in the second after a throwing error by shortstop Didi Gregorius.
NOTES: Trade-deadline acquisition Jake Peavy (8-4 with the Chicago White Sox) is scheduled to make his debut for Boston on Saturday against Arizona's Patrick Corbin (12-2) when the three-game series resumes. ... Ellsbury's leadoff triple in the first raised his average in interleague play to .500 (20-for-40). Ellsbury has hit safely in all 10 of Boston's interleague games this season. ... Ortiz was in a 3-for-14 slump before driving the first pitch he saw out of the park. ... The Diamondbacks opened the three-game series with a 4-5 record in interleague games this season.

"Futurama" (Comedy Central, Wednesdays). Science fiction and comedy are "like that." (Writer crosses fingers to indicate closeness.) Each takes emerging facts to their extreme, often absurd conclusions; both are fundamentally philosophical — though each has time for exhilarating idiocy — and in imagining what might be, each takes the measure of what is. "1984" was about "1948," and "Brave New World" is a funny book. Created by Matt Groening, who invented "The Simpsons" and changed the world, and developed with David X. Cohen, "Futurama" fuses the two forms as if in the warp core of some spaceship I am imagining as I type. It has to some extent labored under the shadow of its more eligible look-alike older cousin and echoes it here and there — 20th-century pizza delivery boy Fry (Billy West) is, like Homer Simpson, a distractible lunkhead, while Bender (John DiMaggio) is the mechanical man Bart might have grown up to be had he been born a robot — but is very much its own creature, with its own interests. Its return this week, marking the second half of its seventh and final season, opens with back-to-back episodes: "2-D Blacktop" mixes a "Fast and Furious" takeoff with a brilliant riff on "Flatland" (this is the only series on television you're likely to encounter a line like "You kids and your topology"); "Fry and Leela's Big Fling" combines a "Planet of the Apes" riff with something I saw once on "Twilight Zone" (if memory serves) as Fry and sexy cyclops Leela (Katey Sagal) try to get alone.
RELATED: Movie reviews by The Times
"The Hustle" (Fuse, Wednesdays). The first scripted series from the basic-cable mostly-music network Fuse follows the fortunes of a Brooklyn rap duo breaking out from the underground. Created by Prentice Penny (who has written for "Happy Endings," "Scrubs" and "Girlfriends"), it has some of the scrappy casual realism of HBO's late and personally lamented "How to Make It in America" and is as smart and serious about music-making and the music business as is "Nashville," without its distracting high gloss and dramatic extremity. It has a swinging, lo-fi, New Wave vibe that suits the action and milieu; affordable modern technology lets you do a lot with a little these days (in film as in music), but whether imposed or self-selected the constraints on the production have a salutary effect. I can't say how accurate it is to the world it represents; some aspects of the plot are well-worn tropes of the show-business drama, and the editing can be a little hectic at times that hectic is not called for. But it feels right; it doesn't strain for effect. Penny has created a cast of mostly sweet, human characters embodying a range of awareness; it's not just that the more responsible ones balance the dunderheads but that each contains elements of responsibility and dunderheadedness. Y'Lan Noel and L.A.-based stand-up comic London Brown play the rappers who constitute Brooklyn's finest. (Brown, who plays the charismatic one, is that.) Erica Dickerson is their manager, and Clinton Lowe the comic relief. (But no Turtle.)
"The Revolutionary Optimists" (PBS, Monday). Nicole Newnham and Maren Grainger-Monsen directed this vibrant documentary set in a 9,000-person shantytown in Kolkata, the city formerly written as Calcutta, India. Some critics have dunned the film for lacking a coherent narrative, as if that were something life ever supplied; there is progress for some of its characters and regress for others, and, as in many documentaries it is left to the closing titles to say how the world has gotten on since we left them. There are times, to be sure, that one is not exactly sure how this bit fits with that, but it is also the bits that emotionally matter most: an excited young face, a colorful sari in a dun-colored brickyard, a man and his students dancing in a corridor. The man is Amlan Ganguly, a lawyer turned teacher and activist, and by his own lights an odd duck among his people (his interest in dance and art set him apart), who works for and alongside the young to change their lives, and the future, and everything. His co-stars include two bright and erudite pre-teens, Salim and Sikha, who go hither and yon to alert their neighbors to polio vaccines, break the soccer-gender barrier, bring drinkable water to their neighborhood and put the lie to "tradition," the awful excuse by which the powerful, even among the powerless, strive to keep others weak. An intimate film about big issues, it's both saddening and uplifting; on the one hand the facts of the larger world point to continued bad weather; on the other, rays of human sunshine continue to break out.
"Wilfred" (FX, Thursdays). The story of a boy (a man, nominally) and (more or less) his dog, whom he sees as a human in a costume where everyone else sees an animal, is back for a third season. It is in some ways the story of the comfort we take from other breathing things, but it is also a story of territorial marking and jealousy and of how we encourage the bad habits of others to support our own. The series is inevitably frustrating in that it needs to keep protagonist Ryan (Elijah Wood) from any sort of settled state, but it is also funny and deftly played; Wood is born to play put-upon heroes (I include those Hobbit movies) and as Wilfred, the dog, Jason Gann (who originated the role in the FX series' Australian forerunner) is wonderfully at once a person and a beast. It seems worth mentioning, just because it's unusual in series TV, that Randall Einhorn has directed nearly every episode and continues to.

In this video review of the Samsung Galaxy Indulge 4G Android smartphone from MetroPCS, Sydney discusses the performance of the phone and MetroPCS' 4G LTE network. The Indulge is a Galaxy device with a 1 GHz Hummingbird processor, but it has a smaller screen than the other Galaxy phones and it lacks the Super AMOLED display. It is packed with a physical keyboard though and a 3 MP camera.
In testing, MetroPCS' 4G network was very impressive and the Hummingbird processor was fantastic. The keyboard was the best and the camera definitely should have been better, but the device overall was a high performer.

Anthony Wayne's Mark Donnal goes to the net against Perrysburg's Nate Patterson.
Enlarge | Buy This Image
Mark Donnal looked for one more big shot in a fourth quarter filled with them, this one a contested prayer with his Anthony Wayne team trailing Perrysburg by two in the dying seconds.
It went unanswered.
But a game that players would call the wildest of their careers could not end on such a note.
Donnal's 3-point shot caromed hard right. As the home crowd set loose with a full-throated roar that drowned out the buzzer, Generals guard Ose Omofoma waited.
The senior rebounded the ball a step outside the lane, faded and released just before time expired.
The shot tied the game, and led to what will surely go down as Anthony Wayne's most improbable victory in a Northern Lakes League race that promises to be intense.
In a brush between NLL unbeatens that seemed won and lost multiple times by both sides, the Generals stunned Perrysburg 71-65 in overtime.
PHOTO GALLERY: Anthony Wayne vs. Perrysburg
Down 14 to begin the fourth quarter, Donnal and Anthony Wayne (8-1, 5-0 NLL) rushed back with a 15-1 run to tie the game at 53. The Generals then went ahead 61-56, only for game to completely reverse course again.
The Yellow Jackets (8-2, 4-1) hit two free throws, Shane Edwards hit a tying 3-pointer with 45 seconds left and Nick Moschetti stole the ball and hit two free throws to put Perrysburg back ahead 63-61.
Cue the drama.
"Mark shot with time on the clock, fortunately," Omofoma said. "I was excited because this is my senior year and we had never beaten Perrysburg here at their place."
Donnal called it the "the craziest game I've ever been a part of in my high school basketball career."
After Perrysburg went ahead 65-63 in overtime, Anthony Wayne closed the game on an 8-0 run. Donnal tied the game with a pair of free throws, dumped it in to Bryant Byrd for the go-ahead score and iced the win with two final free throws with 4.5 seconds left.
It was a fitting finish, because no player was more clutch than Donnal, who finished with a team-high 20 points.
Held to six points through three quarters, the Michigan-commit began the fourth quarter purposefully.
"I knew that I had to step up in the fourth quarter if we were wanted to win this game," Donnal said. "I looked more to score there and I got some buckets and I just got it rolling."
The roll marked a 180 from the rest of the night. Moschetti scored a game-high 22 points and Edwards added 17 as Perrysburg raced out to 15-4 lead and appeared in complete control.
But Donnal scored on three straight possessions to begin the quarter, first inside, then on a mid-range turnaround and a baseline jumper. As a team, the Generals, who were without senior starter Grant Fiock scored on six of seven possessions.
Perrysburg, meanwhile, went the opposite direction. Its first six possessions of the quarter featured a miss, two turnovers, and three misses on the front end of one-and-one free throw opportunities.
AW went ahead 57-56, its first lead of the night, on two free throws by James Baker with 2 minutes left and would push the advantage to five points.
For the Yellow Jackets, their late push to go ahead two only made the outcome more painful.
"I think both teams wanted this one bad," Perrysburg coach Dave Boyce said.
Matt Fox scored 19 points while Baker added 17 points for AW. Each hit three 3-pointers.
"The fact these guys can come together on the road in Perrysburg is a testament to their character," AW coach Bryan Borcherdt said. "I've got threat kids. Wins and losses are one thing, but I will gladly get in the trenches with these guys any day."
Borcherdt said Fiock was no longer with the team.

Zingoenterprise needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 10 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
A Diamond In Time
We have a jewelry store named A Diamond In Time. The name is representative of the majority of the products we sell...diamonds and fine swiss watches. I am open to any design theme. Our store is in a high end area of town (expensive real estate, wealthy clients, etc...). So, something more traditional will probably be the best fit for our needs. We are looking to portray ourselves as a high end, exclusive jewelry retailer. Brand mission: to be trustworthy, sell a premium product.
Our target market is consumers ages 20-?? We focus on selling items priced from $2,000+ A large portion of our sales are represented by engagement rings that are higher end than most other stores in the area. We will use this logo on all company materials, including signs, packaging, etc...
I would like to see a few designs that incorporate the outline of a diamond (either the top down view or the profile of a round diamond) and/or a few designs that incorporate a clock dial. This is not a requirement, but I would like to see what something with either of those images would look like. I think I would like to stay with something that has a black/grey/white color scheme, but again this is just an idea and not something you have to adhere to. I would be willing to consider something done in a dark blue as well. We need print file and web file formats. Attached is a logo I made just to have something temporarily on our business cards... Please don't feel like you need to do anything similar...just wanted you to have an idea of what we are currently working with. I know it's not very good, but that's why i'm here! For the profile of the diamond, envision that diamond without the words separating it. Definitely be creative with the use of a diamond or watch/clock image.

Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas) has revealed his own plan for combating America's violence problem -- and it differs from President Barack Obama's on a key point. Specifically, the former presidential candidate said that instead of enacting tougher gun control legislation, Americans should simply pray for protections.
Obama unveiled new gun legislation Wednesday, recommending a host of Congressional measures supplemented by 23 executive actions to be carried out immediately.
The announcement, which may be the most sweeping effort to tighten laws in a generation, marked the culmination of a month-long review process led by Vice President Joe Biden.
In his own statement, Perry acknowledged the problem of violence in the U.S. but said enacting tougher gun laws was not the right way to solve it, the Houston Chronicle reports.
Perry said that there was "evil prowling" in the world that has appeared in television and movies, and then found its way into vulnerable minds.
"As a free people, let us choose what kind of people we will be. Laws, the only redoubt of secularism, will not suffice. Let us all return to our places of worship and pray for help. Above all, let us pray for our children."
Perry also assailed the liberal media and politicians for attempting to use the Sandy Hook shooting for a political end "that would not have saved those children," according to the Chronicle.
Read the rest here.
Wonderful. A government official who basically renounces the efficacy of government in favor of prayer to a supernatural being who is notoriously not in evidence, yet is supposed to cure ALL of our ills and bring some kind of golden age. The naivete, irresponsibility and idiotic presumption Rick Perry displays in this instance simply goes beyond the pale. I mean, why should we need a government at all? Just pray to Perry's god and we should all be good to go, right? That's worked fine in the past, hasn't it?
Oh, wait...

it's official, everyone hates a lurker politician and their faith decoy(s)_
This is the same old religous tactic they always use: god is the solution for everything. Anytime there is a problem they cannot explain, cost money, or challenges their belief, pray more. They win in their minds no matter what and so far, at least with politics, they win in popularity now. Their arguement is always a social one, fix it with morality opposed to psychology, get back to family values opposed to righting governmental neglect, evil doers opposed to provoked depressive antisocial behavior. The list goes on. The competition of belief over science will continue to plague our government as far as I can see, I'm sad to say. Believers always get cynical to logical explanations or solutions and then find a social arguement that puts another question in the conversation that diverts away from the original point. Our government is plagued with religous dogma that pushes us farther from a true separation of church and state. Have you ever heard "don't talk about politics and religion in your work place", well somehow that just doesn't apply to a government job in the minds of believers. The social approval of religion in politics is actually a priority. If it is not so for an individual who is in any position of a high post that person is usually shut out eventually of true confession to logic. Can you think of anyone like that today? :) The believers have the upper hand in social politics and in social wealth, especially because the wealthy believe in financial power over a healthy balance of creative logic that supports all of us. Farmers can grow food for themselves but if they do no put any up for market their other needs are not met. We depend on the successful psychology of all (government) to make life possible. We cannot all be self sufficient homesteaders to manage our needs. Here is a question to ponder, If you are the best heart surgeon in the world where do you go if you have a need for heart surgery? If you are thinking a computerized robot, stop.:) Recently I listen to a Sam Harris youtube video speech about his warning to nonbelievers about calling themselves atheist. He is argueing the point to be careful of labeling your self of what you believe in order to not get yourself stuck in the arguement of the perpetual arguement of belief. I agree with him but there is also the fact that as long as there is a consciense objection to governmental direction to logical success we may find ourselves in need of specialization to committee. Splitting hairs will surely create a fabric to human community. There is no guarrantee either way. Those of us who choose to be peaceful use words and reason to find a democratic resolution. War is not desirable to anyone who experiences the destruction of life. So, what do you do. I guess form a community of people who support each other in a successful outcome of human needs and social approval. Maslows heirarchy of needs will actually work for both believers and nonbelievers because what we do share in common is the inescapable truth of being human. What is the old saying about death and taxes?:) Community is important because we may reach higher elements to maslow's heirarchy of needs. We need that support so that we are not left in the cold, literally and figuratively.
Instead of praying, a funny filosopher with imagination, willing to take risks in thought, creativity, and exploration, Dennett makes sense out of non-sense world. Happy thinking! It works a lot better than praying. Just look around us.
Big Thinkers - Daniel Dennett [Philosopher]
Ooooo, dirty word, Joan - THINKING! Rick Perry can't deal with thought, never mind critical thought. Too hard, WAY too hard! Much easier to pray. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket ... [groan!]
Great video, BTW!
The saddest part is that they train their kids in this type of thinking from Day 1. I escaped, sure, but it gets harder all the time.
Oh! get real! "God is bigger than the boogie man!" The propaganda machine!
However, god apparently is not bigger than Katrina, the hottest year on record, the wars ... all over the Earth, or famine, homelessness, disease, dominionism, greed, and hubris. For these it takes sensible, critical, focused thought and action.
"God works in mysterious ways."
Nope! Just takes more trust in god, Joan. Where is your faith?
There is a reason strongly religious politicians do nothing worthwhile to improve the world. They think Jealous Sky-Toddler is going to do it for them.
The wholly, holy, macho, man is testing the limits of his intellect once again. Is there an emptier suit in all of American politics than Rick Perry? Frightening prospect, if there is.
Did anyone tell this idiot that by being a xtian does not make you bulletproof? Ask the student at Columbine who asked if she believed in G'd and was killed.
BTW, it later came out that she was into witchcraft. Either way she lost.
Have you heard about the recent republican sneak vote to redistrict the votes in Virginia? http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/hed/2013/01/23/4e01...
Yup. Rachel Maddow has been covering it for a while now.

Topic : 05/30 Pretty/Ugly
(Original Air Date: 09/16/05) How important do you think looks really are? And, do you think attractive people get treated better in society? Dr. Phil's son, Jay, goes out in disguise to see if people really do judge a book by its cover. You won't believe the results, nor the response that surprised him the most! Plus, Debi favors her older daughter because she's "beautiful" and treats her youngest like "dirt" because she's "fat and unattractive." Can Dr. Phil help her love both girls equally? And, Michelle only lets her daughter play with pretty kids on the playground because she equates beauty with success in life. Will she learn to re-evaluate her standards?

WASHINGTON — The snowy owl that captured the nation's capital attention when it perched at The Washington Post building and survived being hit by a bus has died.
The University of Minnesota's Raptor Center in St. Paul says on its website that the owl, which had undergone rehab there, was found dead on the shoulder of a Minnesota highway.
The owl was seen in downtown D.C. in January, drawing crowds as it perched for several hours on a ledge outside The Post's headquarters.
A few days later, the owl was apparently hit by a bus, and was taken to the National Zoo for treatment.
The bird was sent to the Raptor Center and was returned to the wild in April.
The bird's body was identified by a band placed on its leg.

Project Description
This project used four dimensional (4D) seismic data from the Sleipner project in the Norwegian North Sea to conduct multiphase flow and reactive mass transport modeling of CO2 migration in the reservoir. Researchers at Indiana University used the geologic model provided by StatOil to develop a reservoir scale multi-phase reactive flow model for CO2 plume migration and dynamic evolution of CO2 trapping mechanisms (hydrodynamic/structural, solubility, mineral, and residual/capillary) at Sleipner. The reactive flow model was calibrated through history matching with progressive CO2 plume migration delineated by 4D seismic data. The calibrated reservoir model was then extrapolated to a regional scale model of multi-phase reactive mass transport to predict the fate of CO2 10,000 years after injection. A rigorous geochemical reaction kinetics framework was implemented and a number of sensitivity analysis and bounding calculations were used to aid in the reduction of uncertainty in predictions of geochemical reactions.
Project Benefits
This project is focused on using history matching and the 4D seismic reflection imaging at Sleipner in the North Sea to reduce the uncertainty in understanding the impacts of CO2 and reactive transport in saline formations. Reduction of uncertainty in reactive transport modeling allows project developers to more confidently predict storage capacity and ensure that the storage formation is being efficiently utilized. In addition, it provides confidence that the CO2 is permanently stored, thus contributing to better storage technology and reducing CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. Specifically, this project conducted multi-phase flow and reactive transport modeling of CO2 migration within the Utsira Sandstone at the Sleipner project. The model was calibrated through history matching using the progressive CO2 plume migration delineated by the 4D seismic data to predict the CO2 fate up to 10,000 years after injection into the reservoir.

Uganda mulls joint bid to host Cup of Nations
Kampala - The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) on Wednesday said it plans to garner regional support to jointly host the coveted Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
FUFA vice-president Mujib Kasule said they are going to use the forthcoming 2012 Council for East and Central African Football Associations Senior Challenge Cup to lobby for support, reports Xinhua.
Defending champion Uganda will host the Nov 24-Dec 6 tournament that will bring together national teams from Tanzania, Rwanda, Sudan, Burundi, Eritrea, Somalia, Zanzibar and Kenya.
Kasule said it is possible to host the AFCON event if Uganda and Kenya jointly launch a bid noting that the chances are higher since jointly the two countries can meet the demands needed by the Confederation of African Football, the continent's football governing body.
"We have the talent in the region and we have what it takes to host if we put in a joint bid," Kasule said.
Ethiopia and Sudan are the only countries in the region that have hosted Africa's biggest football showpiece since it was started. Sudan staged the event in 1962 and 1970 while the Ethiopians played host in 1968 and 1976.
If Uganda and Kenya agree on launching a joint bid, they may have to wait longer to host if successful. The 2015 edition is already awarded to Morocco and the 2017 edition allocated to Libya.

St. Anselm student arrested, charged with sale of drug
December 04. 2012 10:18PM
GOFFSTOWN - The odor of burning marijuana in a dormitory led to the arrest of a St. Anselm student on charges of sale of a controlled drug.
Goffstown police said they responded to the dorm and found a student in possession of marijuana. Officers reported discovering two safes in his room and after obtaining a search warrant, opened them and found a half pound of marijuana.
The student, Matthew Gersh, 20, of Medford, Mass. was released on $10,000 personal recognizance bail and will be arraigned in 9th Circuit Court, Goffstown District, on Thursday, Jan. 3.
