Tuesday, August 07, 2012 - Petr and Ivan - Broke CZ Boys - FULL CONTACT
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
I was very keen to get the handsome Petr Morava in action with another guy, and he needed money, so we set him up for a shoot with Ivan Cakovsky, to see what we could get him to do. After an interview Ivan starts things off, by reaching over and rubbing Petr's chest. Then he starts to kiss him. Petr responds to the kissing with no problem at all. Ivan then moves down and licks on Petr's nipples, while rubbing a hand of his crotch as well. Next Ivan pulls Petr's underwear off, and we see that his cock is hard. Ivan wastes no time and takes the cock in his mouth. He is a sucker par excellence and really works on Petr's rock hard cock. Petr seems to be enjoying his cock being sucked, but is a little reticent when it is suggested that he return the favor. However he does, and Ivan gets on his knees so that his cock can clide easily into Petr's mouth. Petr wanks himself as he sucks on Ivan's large cock. He does a good job with the sucking as well, and Ivan places a hand on the back of his head and begins to fuck his cock in and out of the mouth. The guys then switch to a 69 position with Ivan on top. His cock slides fits snugly in Petr's mouth as he leans over to suck as well. Ivan pulls Petr's ass high in the air and leans over to rim it. His tongue laps as the hole, wetting it very nicely. Then he starts to finger the hole as well. Petr is doing very well indeed, so Ivan moves on to the next step and slides his cock into that tight ass. In spoon position he fucks Petr nice and deep. Petr takes it very well and then he is moved onto his knees, with Ivan behind him, fucking his hot ass again. Petr moans as he feels that cock deep in his ass, and he wanks his cock hard at the same time. He loves how his ass feels and is soon shooting his load, the cum spurting out and landing on the bed. Ivan is ready to cum as well and kneels in front of Petr's face and shoots his creamy load all over his face. Petr then takes Ivan's spent cock in his mouth to drain it completely, before kissing him to end a really good first time scene.
Nikolay Arbesov is a very handsome guy who we invited in for an ambush massage. As we see, when he strips off and gives us the full 360 turn, Nikolay has a very good body indeed, and his ass is nicely defined by his tan line. He climbs on to the massage table and lays face down to await the masseur. Once the masseur arrives he gets straight to work, placing a towel over Nikolay's ass, and after taking some oil begins to massage his back. His hands works over the back and up to the shoulders. Nikolay lays there as the soothing hands glide smoothly over his back and down to his ass. Then the hands massage his arms as well. Next they move down to Nikolay's thick, hairy thighs and work on them, down the legs to the calf muscles and then the feet. Nikolay's ass looks perfect and it is next in line for the treatment as the oiled hands squeeze it, running down the ass crack. Nikolay then gets up onto his knees, with is ass pushed back, The hands begin being to massage that sexy ass, and push Nikolay's cock back between his legs. Nikolay's cock is wanked, between his legs, and begins to grow nicely from the attention. As his cock is wanked a vibrator appears and begins to run up and down Nikolay's ass crack. When the time is right, it slips into his tight hole. As it slides in and out of Nikolay's tight ass the masseur also wanks on that thick cock. That cock gets nicly hard, from being wanked and Nikolay turns over, laying down on his back. The masseur begins to wank on Nikolay's cock again and it is not long before Nikolay is ready to cum. His load drops onto his leg and the masseur milks the cock dry before leaving Nikolay to relax. Nikolay is a great looking guy, who was very compliant during the massage and took it very well.
Jirka Maly is aged 19 and lives in Telc. He is an electrician who enjoys computers and jogging. In his interview he also mentions that he enjoys fishing, motorcycles and hiking. Jirka is a very good looking guy who, sitting atop the white steps, opens the top of his jeans and begins to feel himself. His hand goes deep into his shorts to play with his cock. A helping hand arrives and starts to oil Jirka's body as he continues playing with his cock, in his shorts. The helping hand pulls on the shorts and Jirka lets his big, fat cock out. It is rock hard with a big, swollen head, and he wanks it. The hands continue to oil Jirka's body as he wanks himself and then they take a jacking device and slide it over Jirka's rock hard cock. Then Jirka wanks himself some more before the helping hand takes over. That cock is so big and hard as it is wanked and Jirka lays back and lifts his legs in the air to show a hairy hole. It looks very inviting as his cock is wanked. Some lube is dropped onto that dick as it is wanked, and more is rubbed over the hairy ass. As the wanking continues a finger, gently, probes Jirka's hole and slides inside, just to test it out. Jirka then lowers his legs as the hand wanks him hard and fast and he shoots his load for us. He then goes off to the shower to clean himself up. Jirka is a very sweet guy, who has done some lovely shoots already, but it is especially nice to seem him in this solo.
Honza Baros is aged 19 and lives in Chrudim. He is currently unemployed and enjoys parties and football. Honza is a very nice looking guy, with a good build too. He looks very enticing in this stills shoot, as he begins to get naked, showing his chest first, and then opening his jeans. We see a lovely hooded cock, surrounded by dark pubes. Then Honza turns and shows his ass as well. Next he poses with that cock nice and hard. The skin fully retracts when the cock is hard so we see a nice big head. Honza does a variety of poses with that dick nice and hard, and then shows us more of his sexy ass, with the cheeks spread to see his hot hole as well. He is certainly a very impressive sight and I shall look forward to seeing his erotic video.

Help & Advice
BTU Radiator Calculator
Our BTU (British Thermal Units) calculator will help you to work out the heat requirement for your room, and recommend the number of radiators you will need to comfortably heat it.
What is a BTU?
A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is a measure of heat output from a radiator. Depending on the size of your room, the number and type of windows and what the room is used for, you'll need more or less heat. If you have a higher BTU requirement, it might be better to use more than one radiator to deliver the heat you'll need to a room. The total BTU output of several smaller radiators may meet your needs.
How do I choose the right radiator?
The BTU value of all our radiators is clearly labelled in-store and online, helping you find those which suit your requirements.

Draw Something has a lot to answer for. Not only do we now find ourselves nudged more often than a builder's arm on mini-skirt Monday, thanks to having grown tired of playing it about a week after we started (something it shares with Tiny Tower, Angry Birds and many others), but it's also spawned a swathe of clones, each offering a variation on a theme.
However, not all of them are bad. And some even try hard to break the overall formula, if not the graphical style. And anyway, wasn't Draw Something just Words with Friends that took away the competitive element?
Thank the heavens somebody's put that bit back in...
Song Pop

- Where
- iTunes, Google Play
Song Pop is a pop quiz app, and therefore one of thousands. What's different with Song Pop though is that not only does it take the turn-based structure of Draw Something, but it uses licensed music instead of long-winded text questions.
It was released earlier this month on several platforms, including iOS, Android and as a Facebook application, and while it has slipped under the radar of many, it will almost definitely take the crown from its clearest inspiration as the app of the moment.
In actuality, it's simpler than Draw Something. You compete against, rather than work with, friends either challenged through a Facebook logon, email or via the app itself. You then get to choose a category of music you'd like the questions to be drawn from.
These can vary, from 80s Classics, to Love Songs, to Modern Day Rap, and it is then your turn to guess the correct multiple-choice answer based on the clip of music you hear. Obviously, it's important that you get each of the five clips right, but speed is also of the essence as the quicker you answer correctly, the more points you get.
Then your opponent gets to play the exact same round, trying to beat your overall score. It's fun and frenetic and doesn't take more than a couple of minutes at a time.
Whoever wins the round gets a point and the choice of category alternates. Thankfully, even if you do really badly (as we did against our chum and ex-Food Records A&R guy Miles Jacobson OBE - he of Football Manager fame), each game is reset after a week. The server counts down so you know how long you have left to play.
As with a lot of games of this ilk, such as Sing Something, while the application is free to download and play, you can spend real money in buying extras, such as the ability to reduce the number of answers on a trickier clip. However, we find that you have so little time before an opponent is likely to guess, that even massaging the odds could still see you lose the round.
But developer FreshPlanet has to make money somewhere. It certainly deserves to, as its creation is as addictive as lottery scratchcards. And ironically, just as likely to make you swear out loud on the Tube.

I don't have anything against him personally. But he's not the kind of fighter I like watching. He fights to win matches. He doesn't fight to defeat his opponents," said Rousey. "Everybody keeps coming up to me and saying, 'Oh, do you think if you didn't look such a way, people would like you so much?' I'm like, 'Dude, if GSP was butt ugly, you wouldn't want to know who he is so much.' I think he lucked out a lot that he's Canadian. I love Canadians. They are the coolest, nicest, most patriotic people, and they will support their countrymen no matter what, and I think that's commendable, but if GSP wasn't really good-looking, and really Canadian, he would be really unknown," stated Rousey. GSP says: "It's very flattering for her to say that I'm a good looking guy and I want to say she's a very beautiful woman as well," St-Pierre said. "I feel very flattered."

DIGHTON — The town is in good financial shape and town officials are in "98 percent agreement" concerning the proposed $15.6 million fiscal 2015 budget, according to Finance Committee Chairman Ed Swartz.
"It is a good time for Dighton," he said.
This was one statement delivered at a Town Meeting preview forum that was hosted by the Dighton cable show "Community Corner." The selectmen, as well as town resident Myrna Santos, agreed to hold the forum on Wednesday night to preview items that will appear on the four-article special Town Meeting warrant and the 37-article annual Town Meeting warrant. Both of those meetings will take place on June 2 at Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School.
The forum on Wednesday was sparsely attended but will be replayed on local cable access. The purpose will be to educate the public on some of the items.
Selectmen previewed articles that they deemed "non-routine," which call for a deeper explanation.
One article, submitted by Swartz, will ask town voters to consider appointing a town administrator. Swartz said it could take months or even until next fiscal year before the town appoints someone to the post. Swartz said he initiated the petition as a resident only, not as a Finance Committee member.
He said he has done research on the matter and discovered that Dighton is one of the few communities of its size in this state, which does not have a town administrator. Dighton has an approximate population of 7,600, and some communities much smaller have an administrator, Swartz said.
He also said there is room in the town's budget for such a position.
Another article is the fiscal 2015 operating budget article. Selectmen said the only major disagreement comes between the Board of Health and the Finance Committee. The health board, also the selectmen, voted 2-1 for a health director, which will cost approximately $15,000. The health board Chairman Thomas Pires and the Finance Committee are not in agreement with the move, so Town Meeting voters will have to weigh in and make the final decision.
Swartz lauded the proposed fiscal 2015 budget, which does not call for any major tax increase, yet still has funding to finance some major expenses and improvements to town roofs.
One initiative will seek to raise $68,000 to replace the roof of Fire Station No. 1 and $30,000 to repair the roof of a salt shed by the maintenance facility.
Officials will also look to raise $61,000 to replace a Highway Department one-ton dump truck from 1979. Selectmen said the new vehicle will also come equipped with a plow.
Selectmen and Community Preservation Committee Chairman Tim Rhines, also a Parks and Recreation Commission member, discussed an article that aims to improve the tennis and basketball courts on Somerset Avenue, near the police station.
Rhines explained that the total $79,000 appropriation would come from two sources: The community preservation open space account and the community preservation fiscal 2015 budget reserve account.
The article, among other things, would update the fencing and the electrical setup there. Rhines said an electrical issue there forced a shutdown last year and there is still no electricity fed to that area, so no one can use the facilities in the evening. He said once electricity is approved for the site, there will be a move to use students from Bristol-Plymouth Vocational Technical High School.
"The facility is outdated and antiquated," Rhines said. "Why can't our committee have an updated 21st century facility?"
Another article would set a purchase-order model in place so department heads would have to seek clearance from the town accountant. After that, a purchase order and improved tracking system would be in place.
"We are out of the 19th century then, are we?" Pires said jokingly.
Another article could be a potential boon to the town. Pires said on Oak Street there is a 59-acre parcel of land, mostly of dry uplands, which is owned by the town.
Pires said there is approximately 17 privately owned acres nearby that the town would need to access before it could develop the adjacent town-owned land.
Pires tracked down one owner who agreed to donate the land to the town, and has done some research to determine that there are no other land issues.
He said once the town can obtain the entire area, it can be converted into a park or something beneficial for the entire town.

An excerpt from John Main OSB, "From Isolation to Love," THE WAY OF UNKNOWING (New York: Crossroad, 1990), pp. 44-46.
We meditate because we know with absolute certainty that we must pass through and beyond our own sterility. We must transcend the sterility of the closed system, of a purely introspective mind. We know, with an ever greater clarity, that we have to pass beyond isolation into love. It is curious that introspection, the mind turned in upon itself, should lead to such sterility. Why should a self-centered consciousness be so sterile? Suppose for example we try to analyze some experience of our own. The almost inevitable consequence is that we end up observing ourselves in the act of observation.
The deeper the degree to which we turn in upon ourselves, the more complex will be the degree to which we become fixated on our own self-consciousness. The result is like being trapped in a hall of mirrors where we constantly take the image for reality. And all we have are images of ourselves.
This is a good point to ask why is meditation so different? . . . .All of us when we begin come to a point when we ask ourselves "what am I getting out of this? What is it doing for me?" [. . . .] It is at this point that all of us have to make an act of faith. It may appear to be the faith to enter the darkness and to embrace the sterility, but there is no way we can embrace it except with total abandon. It has to be a total act of faith. In other words, we commit ourselves to meditation, and to the mantra as a way [of] letting go of self-consciousness. In effect, we are committing ourselves to letting go of our own sterility.
It is at this point that the sterility we experience is transformed into poverty---a poverty that we embrace totally. Here we are led to that declaration of our own poverty which reveals that there is only God and in God are all riches and all love. . . . .Sterility becomes poverty---a state of complete simplicity, complete vulnerability and complete abandon to God and to his love. Self-consciousness gives way to consciousness. We become aware of what is beyond our own horizons, of what is, what God is: that God is love. Introspection is transformed into self-transcendent vision because everything we see, we now see in the divine light, expanded into infinity. We see everything bathed in the infinite love of God.
Meditate for Thirty Minutes. Remember: Sit down. Sit still and upright. Close your eyes lightly. Sit relaxed but alert. Silently, interiorly, begin to say a single word. We recommend the prayer phrase "Maranatha." Recite it as four syllables of equal length. Listen to it as you say it, gently, but continuously. Do not think or imagine anything spiritual or otherwise. Thoughts and images will likely come, but let them pass. Just keep returning your attention – with humility and simplicity to saying your word in faith, from the beginning to the end of your meditation.
After Meditation, "The Artist," Stanley Kunitz (New York: Norton, 1995), p. 63.
His paintings grew darker every year.
They filled the walls, they filled the room:
eventually they filled his world---
all but the ravishment.
When voices faded, he would rush to hear
the scratched soul of Mozart
endlessly in gyre.
Back and forth, back and forth,
he paced the paint-smeared floor,
diminishing in size each time he turned,
trapped in his monumental void,
raving against his adversaries.
At last he took a knife in his hand
and slashed an exit for himself
between the frames of his tall scenery.
Through the holes of his tattered universe
the first innocence and the light
came pouring in.

Iowa state Sen. Joni Ernst, who is competing in the state Republican primary to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin (D), received the endorsement of RightNOW Women PAC on Tuesday. She is the second of five female candidates that the group will endorse this week.
RightNOW was created by Marlene Colucci, a former aide to George W. Bush, and was launched earlier this year to recruit young women to get involved in the Republican Party. Virginia state Del. Barbara Comstock, who is running to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Frank R. Wolf (R-Va.) was endorsed by the group Monday.
Brittany Thune, a founder of the PAC and daughter of Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), said that in previous election cycles women did not have opportunities to get involved and support the issues they cared about, such as jobs, education and a strong national defense.
"We want to support qualified and smart women," she said. "The right candidates. We haven't always had the right candidates."
The election of women who can inspire and motivate, Thune said, will only attract more women who can identify with those lawmakers to the movement. "We want to support candidates we can relate to," she said. "Someone smart, who knows what she's talking about."
Members watched a promotional video for the group at a meeting Monday night, that featured Reps. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Kristie Noem (R-S.D.) praising the group's efforts.
"They are putting their money where their mouth is," Blackburn said in the video. "Saving our Republican Party and saving freedom is going to be done by women."
But not too much money. The group's first event, which drew more than 400 people, mostly young women, cost $25 a person – an intentionally lower figure to attract younger voters who aren't financially able to "max out" to candidates.
While the group is just getting started, Thune said, but members hope to not only play in the 2014 election but to build their network ahead of the 2016 election.
Republicans of all stripes have been working to attract more women to their ranks and escape the "war on women" narrative that Democrats successfully used against them in 2012.

Claes Denysse (d. 1571)
Claes Denysse (called in the Martyrs' Mirror, "De knecht van Peter de Gulicker," that is, the servant of P. de G.) was an 18-year-old weaver, who could not read nor write, and had not yet been baptized, because he was still too young and "at this time not well enough founded in the true Christian belief." He was taken prisoner on 5 August 1571 (Martyrs' Mirror incorrectly 1572), at Klundert, when a meeting held in the house of his master was surprised by the sheriff. He was examined before the court several times, the last time being 17 September 1571. Shortly after this he must have been executed. Notwithstanding his lack of knowledge and culture, Claes remained steadfast and died as a true martyr, while his master recanted.

bpython - A fancy curses interface to the Python interactive interpreter
Pygments (apt-get install python-pygments)
A few people asked for stuff like syntax highlighting and autocomplete for the Python interactive interpreter. IPython seems to offer this (plus you can get readline behaviour in the vanilla interpreter) but I tried IPython a couple of times. Perhaps I didn't really get it, but I get the feeling that the ideas behind IPython are pretty different to bpython. I didn't want to create a whole development environment; I simply wanted to provide a couple of neat features that already exist and turn them into something a little more interactive.
The idea is to provide the user with all the features in-line, much like modern IDEs, but in a simple, lightweight package that can be run in a terminal window, so curses seemed like the best choice. Sorry if you use Windows.
bpython doesn't attempt to create anything new or groundbreaking, it simply brings together a few neat ideas and focuses on practicality and usefulness. For this reason, the "Rewind" function should be taken with a pinch of salt, but personally I have found it to be very useful. I use bpython now whenever I would normally use the vanilla interpreter, e.g. for testing out solutions to people's problems on IRC, quickly testing a method of doing something without creating a temporary file, etc..
I hope you find it useful and please feel free to submit any bugs/patches (yeah right)/suggestions to: email@example.com or place them at the bitbucket issue page for this project at: http://bitbucket.org/bobf/bpython/issues/
For any other ways of communicating with bpython users and devs you can find us at the communication page on the projects homepage: http://bpython-interpreter.org/community
Hope to see you there!
- In-line syntax highlighting.
- This uses Pygments for lexing the code as you type, and colours appropriately. Pygments does a great job of doing all of the tricky stuff and really leaving me with very little to do except format the tokens in all my favourite colours.
- Readline-like autocomplete with suggestions displayed
- as you type.
- Thanks to Python's readline interface to libreadline and a ready-made class for using a Python interpreter's scope as the dataset, the only work here was displaying the readline matches as you type in a separate curses window below/above the cursor.
- Expected parameter list.
- As in a lot of modern IDEs, bpython will attempt to display a list of parameters for any function you call. The inspect module is tried first, which works with any Python function, and then pydoc if that fails, which seems to be pretty adequate, but obviously in some cases it's simply not possible. I used pyparsing to cure my nested parentheses woes; again, it was nice and easy.
- Rewind.
- I didn't call this "Undo" because I thought that would be misleading, but "Rewind" is probably as bad. The idea is that the code entered is kept in memory and when the Rewind function is called, the last line is popped and the entire code is re-evaluated. As you can imagine, this has a lot of potential problems, but for defining classes and functions, I've found it to be nothing but useful.
- Pastebin code/write to file.
- I don't really use the save thing much, but the pastebin thing's great. Hit a key and what you see on the screen will be sent to a pastebin and a URL is returned for you to do what you like with. I've hardcoded paste.pocoo.org in for now, that needs to be fixed so it's configurable. Next release, I promise.
- Flush curses screen to stdout.
- A featurette, perhaps, but I thought it was worth noting. I can't personally recall a curses app that does this, perhaps it's often not useful, but when you quit bpython, the screen data will be flushed to stdout, so it basically looks the same as if you had quit the vanilla interpreter.
See the sample-config file for a list of available options. You should save your config file as ~/.config/bpython/config (i.e $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bpython/config) or specify at the command line:
bpython --config /path/to/bpython/config
Known Bugs
For known bugs please see bpython's issue tracker at bitbucket:
CLI Windows Support
- Curses
- Use the appropriate version compiled by Christoph Gohlke http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
- pyreadline
- Use the version in the cheeseshop http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyreadline/
Obtain the less program from GnuUtils. This makes the pager work as intended. It can be obtained from cygwin or GnuWin32 or msys
Current version is tested with
Curses 2.2 pyreadline 1.7
Curses Notes
- The curses used has a bug where the colours are displayed incorrectly:
- red is swapped with blue cyan is swapped with yellow
To correct this I have provided my windows.theme file.
This curses implementation has 16 colors (dark and light versions of the colours)

Two tax-foreclosed downtown Adrian properties are on their way to being back in business.
Sale agreements were approved Tuesday by the Lenawee County Land Bank Authority board for the former Jean Christopher building at West Maumee and Winter streets and for a vacant lot at North Main and Front streets that is to be the site of a new restaurant.
"These are a couple of big corners that are definitely moving toward functionality and adding value to the community," said Chris Miller, Adrian's economic development and downtown development authority director.
The vacant lot at North Main and Front streets was recently proposed as the site of a Chomp Burger restaurant.
Plans for the former Jean Christopher building are a historic renovation that will provide 10 residential apartments on the second and third floors and commercial business space on the ground floor, Miller said.
Dan Williams, owner of Maven Development of Ann Arbor, is planning an investment of more than $1.2 million in that property, said Miller.
The property sale to Maven Development is contingent on financing, a business plan and other requirements, said Martin Marshall, Lenawee County administrator.
Both real estate deals also involve court action to clear titles to each property. The properties reverted to the county for failure to pay taxes. The county land bank authority bought them at an auction of tax-foreclosed properties in August last year.
Marshall said he is encouraged by the prospect of putting these two properties back in use by private businesses after being vacant for years.
Miller said he hopes to see construction started this year on both projects.
The proposed Chomp Burger building will be a major improvement to the north entrance of the downtown business district, he said.
"We could not be more thrilled they are moving forward with that project," Miller said. "We're thrilled that blighted corner is going to be replaced with a new building. It's a great land bank success story."
The property at West Maumee and Winter streets is actually two buildings. The east building suffered a roof collapse and will have to be completely gutted and restored inside, Miller said. There is a possibility of a restaurant in the corner building that would offer rooftop dining, he said.
The building renovation project has been discussed with the Michigan economic development officials for two years, Miller said. Support is now being arranged through the Michigan State Housing Development Authority.

Havre, Montana
Al Qaeda's murderous assault on New York City and Washington on September 11, 2001, set off a chain reaction that has transformed the political discourse in the United States and sent reverberations around the world. At the same time, it has altered the way communities throughout this vast country function and the assumptions by which individuals in cities and hamlets across the millions of square miles that are America live their lives. Even in tiny outposts like Havre, Montana (population 9,621), less than fifty square miles of sparsely settled farmland south of the border with Canada, a profound cultural and psychological shift has occurred.
Havre–traditionally a rather lawless western cowboy community–now considers itself a front-line town in the battle to secure America's borders and defend its open interior, and its politicians and businessmen have enthusiastically, and largely uncritically, embraced their town's new role. It has become a key operational base for northern Border Patrol sorties, and Amtrak trains stopping in the old Havre train station are now routinely boarded by Border Patrol officers looking for noncitizens who lack the paperwork needed to stay in the country legally. In a country at war with a faceless enemy, many of the residents of Havre have convinced themselves that it has become a stomping ground for terrorists and that Border Patrol sweeps of its trains and train station are an effective way to combat these enemies within.
There is no doubt that the United States does face real threats, but in many ways Havre has become a modern-day Potemkin Village. It is a place where expensive, resource-intensive Border Patrol activities provide the illusion of counterterrorism effectiveness while mainly netting only tourists who have overstayed their visas, illegal immigrants from Latin America hopping around the country in search of jobs, and would-be refugees and asylum seekers. As Americans, faced with a fanatical foe, have traded in constitutional protections for promises of security, ceding core freedoms and principles in exchange for ever-tougher law-enforcement actions that merely create comforting holograms of safety, so Havre provides a window onto the patterns that have taken hold in the nation at large.
The Havre sector office of the Border Patrol is responsible for securing hundreds of miles of the northern border, running across several states, and since September 2001 dozens of agents have been relocated here from the Mexican border, bringing with them a warrior mentality formed during years of struggles with drug gangs, people-smuggling coyotes and thousands of desperate migrants seeking hope north of the border. Stopping people as they come off the trains at Havre (the only station for hundreds of miles at which the trains stop for more than a couple of minutes) is one of the jobs to which these agents have been assigned. The railway sweeps started in the late 1990s as a part of the "war on drugs." Since 9/11, however, these spot passenger inspections have been massively expanded.

St. Petersburg, Fla. (April 27, 2013) - Veteran midfielder Kyle Dixon piled up seven points and tied a Major League Lacrosse record with three 2-point goals as the Chesapeake Bayhawks opened the 2013 season by beating the Rochester Rattlers 17-14 in a wild shootout in front of 3,940 fans at Historic Al Lang Stadium in St. Petersburg, Fla.
The game marked the return to competive play by veteran Mark Millon who recorded one goal and one assist in front of his family.
"It was a typical first game. We didn't play great, but fortunately we got the win and that's all that matters," Bayhawks head coach Dave Cottle said.
Dixon, in his eighth MLL season, had his cannon crank shot on target and increased his MLL career record for 2-pointers to 50. The perennial All-Star also dished off an assist as Chesapeake began defense of its MLL championship with a thrilling victory.
"I guess you could say I was feeling it tonight," said Dixon, who was named Player of the Game. "Teams just continue to back off and give me space beyond the arc. Coach Cottle has given me the green light to shoot whenever I'm open out there and tonight I was fortunate to connect on a few."
Midfielder Ben Hunt fired in a pair of 2-pointers of his own in totaling six points for the Bayhawks, who won without seven players who are still involved in the National Lacrosse League playoffs. Among that group were two returning starting attackmen in Drew Westervelt and John Grant, Jr.
Chesapeake's Nicky Polanco was all over the field and played like a man possessed in anchoring a defense that rose to the occasion and shut out Rochester in the fourth quarter. Polanco provided great man-to-man coverage on Millon, caused several turnovers and gobbled up three ground balls.
"I thought Nicky was tremendous tonight. He was extremely active, very aggressive and really owned Mark Millon," Cottle said.
Bayhawks rookieTyler Fiorito started between the pipes for Chesapeake, but was replaced in the second quarter by second-year man T.C. DiBartolo, who finished with nine saves.
Rattlers goalies also split time in the net with Jason LaShomb starting and recording 13 saves, and Joe Banno filling in for the second half and recording 14 saves.
The Rattlers return to action as they host the Charlotte Hounds at Sahlen's Stadium on Sunday, May 5 at 3:00 p.m. For tickets and information visit

Sunday evening's Serie A match between Sampdoria and Inter has been postponed due to poor weather conditions.
Persistent heavy rain has been falling throughout the morning in Genoa, and with more forecast for the remainder of the day, the decision was taken to call off the game which was due to take place at 20:45 CET.
A statement on Sampdoria's official website confirmed: "Because of the weather alert and deteriorating meteorological conditions expected for this evening, the Sampdoria-Inter match scheduled for 20:45 at Stadio Luigi Ferraris has been postponed."
The home side will instead play a training match at 15:00 CET this afternoon at their training base.
The news will no doubt be frustrating for Inter, who had hoped to keep pace with the likes of Milan, Fiorentina and Lazio in the race for the top three this afternoon, with all three of their closest rivals playing later today. Sampdoria are currently in 11th place, level on points with Parma and Bologna.
The match has been rescheduled for April 2nd at 18:30.

There were contrasting fortunes for two Vancouver Whitecaps FC players during Wednesday's international fixtures.
Whilst FIFA World Cup qualifying campaigns are still the primary focus for a lot of teams, this week mostly saw a number of friendly matches being played. National teams were either looking to fine tune their side with qualifying games on the horizon or looking to get game time if their qualifying campaign had already come to a premature end.
Kenny Miller's Scotland still possesses slim hopes of making the World Cup in Brazil, although after going winless in their first four matches their chances seem remote at this point. The 'Caps 2012 acquisition came on with 20 minutes remaining for his country as Scotland earned a 2-1 victory over Estonia. The Scots came through with a solitary goal from Celtic's Charlie Mulgrew in a match they dominated.
Since back-to-back losses last October, Scotland have brought in new coach Gordon Strachan and have renewed optimism. Miller will look to continue to make his mark with Strachan and earn himself a spot on the Tartan Army squad for March's crucial upcoming qualifiers against Wales in Glasgow and away to Serbia in Novi Sad.
Carlyle Mitchell (pictured, #19), meanwhile, donned the national colours of Trinidad and Tobago as they took on Peru in a friendly. Though the Soca Warriors are out of World Cup qualification, they are currently preparing for next summer's CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament. Mitchell impressed in central defence against Peru despite a 2-0 loss to the South Americans.

How Much Are One Direction Worth?
In addition to being mega talented and adorable, there's another reason One Direction are some of the hottest guys in the pop game right now: They're loaded.
MTV News reports that the band is currently worth roughly $50 million, and they're only fattening their wallets. Sony Music U.K. chairman Nick Gatfield told Music Week, "What you might not know about One Direction is that they already represent a $50 million business. And that's a figure we expect to double next year." Dayum!
While it sounds like a whole lot of loot, keep in mind just how many ventures they have bringing that cash in. In addition to record breaking album and DVD sales, 1D also have a sold out massive North American arena tour (culminating with their Madison Square Garden gig), followed by a world tour in 2013.
Additionally, they'll likely release their sophomore album before Christmas (hello, stocking stuffer sales!). They also have a 3D film in the works, as well as numerous television appearances, a book and even a cartoon. This is all in addition to their merchandising sales, which include everything from T-shirts to dolls in their likenesses (we hear Harry Styles is the best seller!).
Aside from their own profits, the group also employs roughly 90 people, from security to management to tour management and everything in between. "The team around them — which includes musicians, stylists, producers, tour managers and so on — account for around 90 people," Gatfield said. "That's 90 jobs created by these five boys."
Not bad, guys! Maybe we can put One Direction in charge of the global economic recovery.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- An eastern Ohio grand jury has begun investigating whether other laws were broken in the case of a 16-year-old girl raped by two high school football players.
The grand jury held its first session Tuesday in Steubenville.
Possible crimes being investigated include situations where adults like coaches or school administrators knew of the rape allegation but failed to report it as required by Ohio law.
Investigators issued search warrants at the high school and local school board offices Thursday.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine says nothing is off the table for the 14-person grand jury.
A judge convicted the two teens in March of raping the West Virginia girl after an alcohol-fueled party last August.

Monica Southworth - French in Senegal
I decided at a late time in my life (age 20) that I wanted to learn French. Having studied Spanish in high school and Norwegian during the first year of university, I discovered while travelling over seas that French would have come in quite handy.
I had the opportunity to go somewhere, anywhere, for the month of January 2010 to study French. The spring prior to that, I began to look, and stumbled across Projects Abroad. The flexibility of arrival and departure dates was exactly what I was looking for, not to mention the one-on-one instruction.
I arrived in Dakar early on New Year's Day, greeted by a very sleepy Banda, and we began our trek to Saint-Louis. I was greeted by my host mother, and two young host siblings that afternoon, but needed a nap immediately. Classes didn't start for a couple of days, but that provided a great opportunity to get to know my host family.
Classes started on the Wednesday after arriving on Friday. We had classes in the Salle de Profs at a local high school. I was a little intimidated by all the high school students the first time I walked through, and I'm sure they were wondering why a silly toubab (foreigner) was there as well.
The time I spent with my professor was invaluable. I really learned a lot, and what was better was that I had one-on-one instruction for several hours at a time, so I was really forced to speak French, and thinking French. While we mostly covered grammar, we did get to talk about politics, culture, and every day topics. There was one day when I had a discussion about poverty with my professor. Afterwards, I realised that I was making a lot of progress. For the first time, I was having real discussions about real issues, in another language.
During the month that I was there, I also took two tours with the group: Touba and Djoujd. Both of these tours were in French, and while I only understood about a third of what was said, this was another personal achievement for me. Taking a tour in another language!
After a while, I began to converse regularly in French. Another personal achievement came when I successfully translated a joke from English to French. Every Sunday, a group of us would go to the beach, and then to the Hôtel de la Poste. Afterwards, a fly landed in my beer that I had been drinking, and so I shared my joke with everyone else there. Because two of the people did not speak a lot of English (French only), I was forced to tell the joke in French. It was successful.
I went to Senegal to learn French, and that is what ended up happening. At the end of the five weeks, I wasn't over thinking how to say things, and it was just naturally flowing out. The intensive language program was exactly what I needed to help me make progress with learning French.
When I returned home, I kept wanting to speak French, because I had gotten so used to it, but instead, had to remind myself that no one here would really understand me. However, when I got into French class, something had changed from first semester to second semester – I completely understood my professor. On top of that, the extensive grammar and vocabulary my Senegalese professor had worked with me on was very helpful. It was a wonderful experience, and I encourage all who have the opportunity to do the same.

This leaflet looks at the research on the effects of cannabis
use and mental health and is for anyone who is concerned about the
issue. We hope that this will help people to make informed choices
about using - or not using - cannabis.
Cannabis is the most widely used substance in the UK. Even
though there has been a steady reduction of use since 1996, about
2.3 million 16-59 year-olds have reported using cannabis in the
past year. Frequent use of cannabis is about twice as
likely amongst young people, and nearly 5.3 million 16-24
year-olds have used it in the last year.
In spite of government and media warnings about health risks,
many people see cannabis as a harmless substance that helps you to
relax and 'chill' - a drug that, unlike alcohol and cigarettes,
might even be good for your physical and mental health.
On the other hand, research over the last 10 years has suggested
that it can have serious consequences for people, such as the
development of an enduring psychotic illness, particularly in those
who are genetically vulnerable.
Cannabis sativa and cannabis
indica are members of the nettle family that have grown wild
throughout the world for centuries. Both plants have been used for
a variety of purposes including hemp to make rope and textiles, as
a medical herb and as the popular recreational drug.
The plant is used as:
Skunk refers to a range of stronger
types of cannabis, grown for their higher
concentration of the main active ingredient, namely THC
(tetrahydrocannabinol). The name refers to the pungent
smell they give off while growing. They can be grown either
under grow-lights or in a greenhouse, often using hydroponic
(growing in nutrient rich liquids rather than soil) techniques.
There are hundreds of other varieties of cannabis with exotic names
such as AK-47, Knock Out or Destroyer.
Over the last 15 years, skunk has invaded the
street market and its THC content is about 2-3 times higher than
the 'traditional' cannabis used in earlier years. In the UK, most
sold materials is home grown because of a loop hole in the
law making it legal to buy seeds over the internet.
Most commonly, the resin or the dried leaves
are mixed with tobacco and smoked as a 'spliff' or 'joint'. The
smoke is inhaled strongly and held in the lungs for a number of
seconds. It can also be smoked in a pipe, a water pipe, or
collected in a container before inhaling it. It can be brewed as
tea or cooked in cakes.
More than half of its psychologically active
chemical ingredients are absorbed into the blood when smoked.
These compounds tend to build up in fatty tissues throughout the
body, so it takes a long time to be excreted in the urine. This is
why cannabis can be detected in urine up to 56 days after it has
last been used.
Cannabis was re-classified in January 2009
and is now a Class B drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act, 1971.
The maximum penalties are:
A young person found to be in possession of
cannabis will be:
After one reprimand, a further offence will
lead to a final warning or charge.
After a final warning:
This will usually result in a warning and
confiscation of the drug. Some cases may lead to arrest and either
caution or prosecution, including:
There are about 400 chemical compounds in an
average cannabis plant. The four main compounds are called
delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9-THC), cannabidiol (CBD),
delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabinol. Apart from CBD,
these compounds are psychoactive, the strongest one being
delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. The stronger varieties of the
plant contain little CBD, whilst the delta-9-THC content is a lot
When cannabis is smoked, its
compounds rapidly enter the bloodstream and are
transported directly to the brain and other parts of the
body. The feeling of being 'stoned' or 'high' is caused
mainly by the delta-9-THC binding to cannabinoid receptors in
the brain. A receptor is a site on a brain cell where certain
substances can stick or "bind" for a while. If this happens, it has
an effect on the cell and the nerve impulses it produces.
Curiously, there are also THC-like substances produced
naturally by the brain itself – these are called endocannabinoids.
Even though chemically THC is not similar to the natural
endocannabinoids, it can fit, like a key, into the same receptor
lock and interferes with the normal functioning of the
Most of these receptors are found in the parts
of the brain that influence emotion, pleasure, memory,
thought, concentration, sensory and time perception. Cannabis
compounds can also affect the eyes, the ears, the skin and the
A 'high' - a sense of relaxation, happiness,
sleepiness, colours appear more intense, music sounds better.
Even though THC can produce relaxation, if
higher amounts are consumed, it can have the opposite effect by
increasing anxiety. Some cannabis users may have
unpleasant experiences, including confusion, hallucinations,
anxiety and paranoia, depending on their mood and
Some users may experience psychotic symptoms with hallucinations
and delusions lasting a few hours, which can be very unpleasant.
Even though these unpleasant effects do not last long, since
the drug can stay in the system for some weeks, the effect can be
more long-lasting than users realise.
Long-term use can have a depressant effect and reduce
motivation. Some researchers also suggest that long-term use can
lead to irreversible, but minor cognitive deficits.
Education and
There have also been suggestions that cannabis
may interfere with a person's capacity to:
This effect seems to last several
weeks after use, which can cause particular problems for
However, a large study in New Zealand followed
up 1265 children for 25 years. It found that cannabis use in
adolescence was linked to poor school performance, but that there
was no direct connection between the two. It looked as though it
was simply because cannabis use encouraged a way of life that
didn't help with schoolwork.
It seems to have a similar effect on people at
work. There is no evidence that cannabis causes specific
health hazards. But users are more likely to leave work without
permission, spend work time on personal matters or simply daydream.
Cannabis users themselves report that drug use has interfered
with their work and social life.
Of course, some areas of work are more
demanding than others. A review of the research on the effect of
cannabis on pilots revealed that those who had used cannabis made
far more mistakes, both major and minor, than when they had not
smoked cannabis. The pilots were tested in flight simulators,
not actually flying... The worst effects were in the first
four hours, although they persisted for at least 24 hours, even
when the pilot had no sense at all of being 'high'. It concluded
"Most of us, with this evidence, would not want to fly with a pilot
who had smoked cannabis within the last day or so".
What about
In New Zealand, researchers found that those
who smoked regularly, and had smoked before driving, were more
likely to be injured in a car crash. A recent study in France
looked at over 10,000 drivers who were involved in fatal car
crashes. Even when the influence of alcohol was taken into account,
cannabis users were more than twice as likely to be the cause of a
fatal crash than to be one of the victims.
There is growing evidence that people
with serious mental illness, including depression and psychosis,
are more likely to use cannabis or have used it for long periods of
time in the past. Regular use of the drug has appeared to
double the risk of developing a psychotic episode or long-term
However, does cannabis cause depression and schizophrenia or do
people with these disorders use it as a medication?
Over the past few years, research has strongly suggested that
there is a clear link between early cannabis use and later mental
health problems in those with a genetic vulnerability - and that
there is a particular issue with the use of cannabis by
A study following 1600 Australian
school-children, aged 14 to 15 for seven years, found that while
children who use cannabis regularly have a significantly higher
risk of depression, the opposite was not the case - children who
already suffered from depression were not more likely than anyone
else to use cannabis. However, adolescents who used cannabis daily
were five times more likely to develop depression and anxiety
in later life.
There is now sufficient evidence to show that
those who use cannabis particularly at a younger age, such
as around the age of 15, have a higher than average risk of
developing a psychotic illness, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
These studies also show that the risk is dose-related. In other
words, the more cannabis someone used, the more likely they were to
develop a psychotic illness. Furthermore, a study in Australia
recently showed that those who used cannabis could develop the
illness about 2.70 years earlier than those who did not.
Why should teenagers be particularly
vulnerable to the use of cannabis? It is thought that this has
something to do with brain development. The brain is still
developing in the teenage years – up to the age of around 20, in
fact. A massive process of 'neural pruning' is going on. This is
rather like streamlining a tangled jumble of circuits so they can
work more effectively. Any experience, or substance, that affects
this process has the potential to produce long-term psychological
It is also known that not everyone who uses
cannabis, even at a young age, develops a psychotic
illness. The available research shows that those who have a
family history of a psychotic illness, or those who have certain
characteristics such as schizotypal personality,
or possibly have certain types of genes, may increase the risk of
developing a psychotic illness following the regular use of strong
Even though the main risk to physical health from cannabis is
probably from the tobacco that it is often smoked with, new
research has found that the cannabis plant also contains
cancerogenic mutagens that can affect people's lungs.
Some people may develop temporary psychotic
symptoms, such as hallucinations and delusions, which resolve
themselves within hours or a few days without any help. People who
experience these temporary effects do not normally come to the
attention of psychiatric services.
Previously, if a person was known to be a heavy cannabis
user, and came to psychiatric services with a psychotic
condition, the term "cannabis psychosis" was used. Often
these problems turned out to be long-lasting, and the person
developed enduring severe mental illness. However, we have
now found that these cases should be diagnosed according to
person's symptoms, including their use of cannabis which could be a
possible trigger for psychosis.
It may be this group of people are particularly vulnerable to
the effects of cannabis, and so should probably avoid it in the
Yes. Even though in the past cannabis was not
thought to be addictive, current evidence now suggests that it can
be, particularly if used regularly. Cannabis has the features
of addictive drugs such as the development of:
These symptoms of withdrawal produce about
the same amount of discomfort as withdrawing from tobacco.
For regular, long-term users:
The irritability, anxiety and problems with
sleeping usually appear 10 hours after the last joint, and peak at
around one week after the last use of the drug.
Compulsive use
The user feels they have to have it and spends
much of their life seeking, buying and using it. They cannot stop
even when other important parts of their life (family, school,
work) suffer.
You are most likely to become dependent on
cannabis if you use it every day.
The amount of the main psycho-active
ingredient, THC, that you get in herbal cannabis varies hugely from
as low as 1% up to 15%. The newer strains, including skunk,
can have up to 20%. The newer varieties are, on the whole,
two or three times stronger than those that were available 30 years
ago. It works more quickly, and can produce hallucinations with
profound relaxation and elation – along with nervousness, anxiety
attacks, projectile vomiting and a strong desire to eat.
Even though low THC content in herbal
cannabis can reduce anxiety, higher amounts of THC produces
anxiety. They may be used by some as a substitute for Ecstasy or
Research has also shown that skunk has taken over the street
market in the UK, and the low THC varieties are less available.
Most skunk is home-grown, and many people, including young
teenagers, are introduced to large amounts of THC, even at first
Legally, these strains remain
classified Class B drugs. Research shows that there is a
higher risk of developing a psychotic illness with cannabis
with high levels of THC, and if you are a regular
user. The easy availability of skunk carries a specific risk to
young people with a genetic predisposition. Cannabis with high
amounts of THC can also cause cognitive problems, such as problems
with short-term memory and processing speed.
Many – perhaps most – people who use cannabis
do enjoy it. But it can become a problem for some people. A US
organisation, marijuana-anonymous.org,
defines the problems of cannabis as follows:
"If cannabis controls our lives and our
thinking, and if our desires centre around marijuana - scoring it,
dealing it, and finding ways to stay high so that we lose interest
in all else."
The website carries the following
questionnaire – which could equally well apply to alcohol use.
"If you answer 'Yes' to any of the questions,
you may have a problem.
The Home
Office published a guide on how to cut down and stop cannabis
use. It suggests a range of things you can do to successfully
stop using, including:

OKLAHOMA CITY >> It's easy to say turnabout is fair play. But Clippers coach Doc Rivers didn't think there was anything fair about the way Game 5 of his team's playoff series against Oklahoma City ended Tuesday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
With L.A. having lost all but two points of a 13-point lead, two calls went against the Clippers in the waning moments and the Thunder were more than happy to take advantage by coming away with a 105-104 victory before 18,203 delirious fans. The stunning comeback gives Oklahoma City a 3-2 lead in the series. Game 6 is Thursday night at Staples Center.
The Clippers led by seven points with 49.2 seconds to play after a 17-footer by Chris Paul, who pounded his chest and looked toward the OKC fans.
That's back-to-back games where the winning team staged an unlikely comeback. The Clippers played poorly for three-plus quarters in Sunday's Game 4 at Staples Center and came away with a two-point victory after trailing by 16 with nine-plus minutes to play.
At the end Tuesday, the Thunder were awarded a ball the Clippers were certain went off of OKC's Reggie Jackson with 11.3 seconds to go. But when the officials watched the replay, they ruled it was the Thunder's ball. That brought an angry reaction from Rivers and the Clippers.
"That was a brutal call, and it cost us the game," Rivers said.
OKC took the ball out of bounds. With 6.4 seconds left, Russell Westbrook was fouled on a 3-point attempt by Paul, who ran around like he couldn't believe it.
Westbrook stepped to the line and made all three free throws for the game's final points.
The Clippers had one last shot. But Paul had the ball slapped away from him by Jackson as he drove the paint.
"It's the toughest thing I've been through basketball-wise," a very downcast Paul said. "Everything that happened there at the end is on me."
He didn't think he fouled Westbrook.
"But it doesn't matter," he said. "It's on me. I'm supposed to be the leader of the team. … You can't foul a 3-point shooter. That's the dumbest thing ever. Even if I didn't foul him."
And the out-of-bounds play that went against his team?
"I was shocked," Paul said. "You saw all of us go crazy."
A reporter showed a replay of that play on his computer in the media room, and the ball appeared to go off Jackson's hand, not the Clippers' Matt Barnes.
OKC coach Scott Brooks said he watched the replay "four or five times" and said he couldn't tell who hit it out. He did say he thought Jackson was fouled on the play.
Paul berated himself for another poor decision, when his turnover with 13.9 seconds left led to all that craziness at the end.
"To work that hard and have the game and give it away … I pride myself on handling the ball and managing games," he said.
All this came on a night when Kevin Durant of the Thunder shot poorly. He started 3 for 17 from the field, but finished 6 of 22 and hit some big shots during the comeback.
Durant ended up with 27 points. Westbrook was good the whole game, with 38 points.
Blake Griffin led Los Angeles with 24 points. Jamal Crawford had 19, but he was just 7 of 22 from the field. Paul had 17 points and 14 assists, but an uncharacteristic five turnovers. J.J. Redick and Barnes contributed 16 points apiece.
With everything said, Rivers knows full well that his team was largely responsible for the loss, the two calls at the end notwithstanding. From suddely leaving Durant open after Barnes and teammates had put the clamps on him most of the way, to waiting too long to get the offense in gear after scoring "at will" the way they had been moving the ball throughout the game.
"We did a lot ourselves and that's what we'll feel bad about," Rivers said.
As down and out as Paul was, Westbrook and Durant were sky high afterward. What they didn't want is to have their joy taken away by any perceived controversy.
"They checked the replay," Westbrook said of that out-of-bounds play that went his team's way. "There are so many plays throughout the season and the playoffs that come down to plays like that. But I thought we did a good job that last minute to put ourselves in position to win."
NBA crew chief Tony Brothers issued a statement about the out-of-bounds replay.
"When the ball goes out of bounds, the ball was awarded to Oklahoma City," Brothers said. "We go review the play. We saw two replays. The two replays we saw were from the overhead camera showing down, and the one from under the basket showing the same angle but from a different view. And from those two replays, it was inconclusive as to who the ball went out of bounds off of.
"When it's inconclusive, we have to do with the call that was on the floor."
Durant said the Thunder deserved credit.
"What about the six plays we made before that to put us in position?" Durant said. "It's kind of a shame that people try to take it away from us because of the last few calls."
Westbrook was asked if he was indeed fouled by Paul.
"Yes," he said.

February 15, 2013 19:45 ET
VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 15, 2013) - Cancana Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CNY) (the "Company" or "Cancana") is pleased to announce that its annual meeting of its shareholders will be held on April 12, 2013 in Victoria, BC. The Company is also pleased to announce its plan to spin off its gold and diamond assets.
The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that would it be in the best interest of the Company to segregate its minerals classes into new and distinct companies by way of a spin-off strategy. The objective of this plan is to separate the gold and diamond opportunities from the Company's manganese opportunities. In turn, it is the intent of the Company that each of the spun-off entities will then become a "pure play" in nature and not have co-mingled mineral classes.
As part of this strategic plan Cancana intends to create a number of spin-off companies. Cancana shareholders will be issued common shares in the subsidiary entities that will be based on a share exchange ratio yet to be determined. Shareholders will be defined as those holders of common shares of Cancana as of the record date, which has yet to be set by the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company will determine the date for the distribution of shares from the spin-off companies and a news release announcing the record date will be issued at that time. This strategic plan remains subject to shareholder and regulatory approval.
The Company regretfully accepts the resignation of David Tam from the Board of Directors and as Secretary of Cancana effective immediately.
Mr. Tam joined the Company in May of 2009, and contributed to the successful development of the Company in its transition from exploration to pre-production. Management and the Board of Directors extend its thanks to Mr. Tam for his substantial efforts and dedicated service to Cancana over the past years.
Mr. Tam comments "I have enjoyed working with the management team at Cancana and serving with the Board of Directors and as an officer of the Company. Over the past few years the Company has made significant progress in its efforts to provide value to its shareholders. As the Company focuses on taking its manganese properties to production, I am confident that the management together with the Board of Directors will continue to move Cancana forward to completing its transition into a full production company."
CEO, President and Director Mr. Andrew Male added; "On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank Mr. Tam for his commitment, dedication and assistance to the Company and wish him well in his future endeavours."
The Company is also pleased to announce that it has retained Rajeev Dewan of WeirFoulds LLP in Toronto to act as its Canadian capital markets legal advisor.
Mr. Dewan is a corporate finance lawyer with WeirFoulds LLP in Toronto. Mr. Dewan previously worked in both the UK and the Middle East with the Financial Services Authority and at a top-tier international law firm and has significant transactional and regulatory experience in the Canadian and international capital markets. Mr. Dewan has been advising the company in connection with securities law matters and has an active practice in advising high growth Canadian companies on cross-border transactions in emerging markets.
Further to the news release announcing the closing of a private placement (the "Private Placement") on January 31, 2013 the TSX Venture Exchange, upon review, has requested that the Company re-price the 5,480,900 warrants (the "Warrants") issued pursuant to the Private Placement from an exercise price of $0.25 per Warrant to an exercise price of $0.27 per Warrant. In addition, further to the Company's news release dated January 31, 2012, the Company announces an update to the fees paid to certain eligible finders in connection with Private Placement.
The company issued an aggregate of 263,400 finder's warrants (the "Finder Warrants") and paid an aggregate amount of $55,240 in cash fees to certain eligible arm's length finders. Additionally, the 263,400 Finder Warrants issued pursuant to the private placement have also been revised from an exercise price of $0.25 to an exercise price of $0.27. Each Finder Warrant remains exercisable for a unit on the same terms as the units issued in the Private Placement (with the warrants issuance upon exercise of the finder's warrants having an exercise price of $0.27). All other terms of conditions of the Warrants and Finder Warrants remain the same.

Steamboat falls via tiebreaker in wrestling matchup
December 13, 2012
The actual, technical reasoning behind the Steamboat Springs High School wrestling team's loss to Summit in a dual was so minuscule, so obscure, it took officials 10 minutes and eight tiebreakers to actually sort things out.
Somehow the reasoning was arcane and telling, however. Summit scored the first point in more matches than Steamboat did, giving the Tigers the decisive tiebreaker and a 34-33 victory. That same stat said everything about the Sailors' performance and why, in the end, they came up just short.
"We weren't aggressive enough," Steamboat coach Shane Yeager said. "We wrestled flat, and they kicked our butts in first point scored."
Steamboat won two of five contested matches but made up the difference with a pin and forfeits.

Steamboat got a pin from Guerin Lewis at 152 pounds, a dominating performance for the senior against Summit's Brandon Ramirez. The two grappled on their feet for seven seconds before Lewis pushed Ramirez to his heels, then to his back. The match was over in just 17 seconds.
The day's most exciting match came at 126 pounds, where Steamboat picked up its other win, this one from Nathan Parks against Summit's Nick Wittrock.
As his teammates seemed to do most of the day, Wittrock jumped out in front early, taking Parks down three times in the first period, for a combined six points. Parks was allowed one-point escapes each time, however, and after he notched a takedown of his own and another escape in the second period, the match was tied.
"I got off to a slow start," Parks said. "He let me up a few times and that made me angry. I'd rather not wrestle on my feet for the whole match, but that's what he wanted to do. That motivated me to take my own shot."
Parks then took control, flopping Wittrock to his back and building a 12-8 lead by the end of the match.
"He shot in and I caught him and tossed him back into a headlock," said Parks, 8-1 this season. "Those were the points that won the match, and I think I demoralized him there. He was afraid to shoot after that."
Steamboat lost matches via pin at 132 pounds, where Steven Baumgartner was pinned by Summit's Alan Roque in the second period, and at 138 pounds where Michael Hansen was pinned in the second by Alex Roque. Steamboat's Connor O'Brien, meanwhile, lost 7-3 to Tyler Blackford.
The Sailors picked up four six-point forfeits, six points for Lewis' pin and three for Parks' victory. Summit had three forfeits, plus six points for both of its pins and three for Blackford's victory, knotting the teams at 33.
No matter how the tiebreaker had shaken out, though, Yeager said Thursday was a wake-up call for his team, which was riding high after winning a tournament in Soroco last weekend.
Steamboat returns to action Saturday in a tournament in Kremmling at West Grand High School.
"Our kids didn't know how to handle the win. We're young and we didn't handle out success," Yeager said. "This was growing pains, and hopefully it's something we can bounce back from Saturday."

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller was hurt late in the third quarter of the seventh-ranked Buckeyes' victory over Purdue on Saturday.
Team spokesman Jerry Emig confirmed that the sophomore had been taken to the hospital and was being evaluated. He did not say what the nature of the injury was or its severity.
In his postgame remarks after Ohio State's 29-22 overtime win, coach Urban Meyer said he didn't know Miller's exact injury or his status.
``I think it's (his) head and that concerns all of us,'' he said.
Miller, mentioned among the top Heisman Trophy contenders, was at the end of a 37-yard run when he was thrown to the turf by cornerback Josh Johnson.
Miller didn't get up for several minutes - he was in obvious pain - while he was attended by several doctors and trainers. Eventually he sat up, then stood on shaky legs for at least 60 seconds before he was led to the sidelines. He was later taken to the locker room by cart.
Miller completed 9 of 20 passes for 113 yards with an interception and ran for 47 yards on 12 carries before leaving the game.
His replacement, Kenny Guiton, led Ohio State to a touchdown with 3 seconds left, then after that scoring pass also threw a two-point conversion pass to send the game into overtime.
In the overtime, Carlos Hyde scored on a 1-yard plunge for the Buckeyes before Purdue failed to complete any of its four passes.

Mark Constantine, a trained trichologist (one who studies the health of hair and scalp) and Liz Weir, a beauty therapist, met in a hair and beauty salon in Poole, England. A few years later, they decided to branch out and start their own business selling natural hair and beauty products. They set to work in their homes creating products with fresh, natural ingredients for the hair and skin.
In the early 80s, Mark read about Anita Roddick who had just started The Body Shop. He thought she sounded like-minded, so called her and offered her some of his products. She put in an order for £1,200 to start with, and from there Mark and Liz developed phenomenal products for The Body Shop and became the company's biggest supplier for over a decade. It was at this point The Body Shop decided to buy their product formulas.
The Body Shop's purchase of their product formulas forbade Mark and Liz from opening another retail shop for five years, so they setup a mail order cosmetics company called Cosmetics-To-Go. They lavished all their money and attention on it, and it was a very successful although complicated venture that ended up burning out. The company went into administration and sold to someone from Poole, who took the product formulas and the Cosmetics-To-Go name.
Mark and Liz, along with Mo Constantine, Helen Ambrosen, Rowena Bird and Paul Greaves from Cosmetics-To-Go, spent what little money they had left on fresh fruits and vegetables at the market. In a little shop in Poole, they hand made products upstairs that were being sold downstairs. They had previously been paying another company to come up with the fragrances for their products, but found out the perfumes weren't always pure, so Mark decided he would create the perfumes himself. A competition was launched for customers to give the company a new name. One customer suggested LUSH, which is defined as being fresh, green, verdant and drunken women and we thought it fitted us very well.
On a trip to England, Canadians Mark and Karen Wolverton came across the fragrant, colorful shop that is LUSH and immediately knew they wanted to bring it to North America. In 1996 the first international LUSH was opened in Vancouver, with a cosmetic kitchen (factory) nearby. In 2003 the first American store opened in San Francisco. We now have over 210 shops in North America, all supplied by the two cosmetic kitchens in Canada.
In 2007 we launched Charity Pot, a hand and body lotion that softens skin and warms hearts. 100% of the purchase price (every single penny minus taxes) goes into our Charity Pot fund, which is donated to environmental, humanitarian and animal rights charities. In the first five years, we donated two million dollars to charities through the Charity Pot program.
Where we can, we make products into solid form so we can ditch the packaging and preservatives; almost half of our products are naked. When we do use packaging, we want it to be environmentally-friendly. We pushed our suppliers to source 100% recycled pots and bottles, so we could avoid virgin plastic, reduce energy on bottle production and save bottles from landfills. In 2008 we made the switch to 100% PCR bottles.
The annual LUSH Prize is designed to reward individuals working in the field of cruelty-free scientific research, awareness-raising and lobbying to help bring an end to animal testing. The annual £250,000 prize fund was awarded to scientists, campaigners, lobbyists, training specialists and young researchers working to replace animal testing with methods that are both more humane and more effective.
