My new favorite shortsVerified Buyer Reviewed by Yellow Daylily from NH on Wednesday, September 23, 2015The reviews are right on about these shorts running small. I ordered an xs and couldn't get them up over my thighs. I really like them so I ordered a size up and am waiting for the order. I know already they will be my new favorites.
CuteVerified Buyer Reviewed by Arzgrl2 from Arizona on Saturday, August 1, 2015I love these shorts, they are casual cute and they do not restrict movement when being active; love them!
Insanely smallVerified Buyer Reviewed by SCDI from Seattle on Monday, July 13, 2015These were nicely made and designed… but "runs small" doesn't even begin to describe it. I generally wear a size 12 with room to spare (a size 10 if they're cut loose) so I ordered the XL based on other reviews. Couldn't even begin to get them on. Maybe they forgot to put "for kids" on the label!!
Runs smallReviewed by arlie from arlington, MA on Monday, June 29, 2015These run a size small. I am a size 6 in most American brands, but I could barely squeeze into a size 6 in these. They are nice and sturdy, but not extraordinary, so I returned for a refund.
sizing is offReviewed by dog walker from Utah on Thursday, June 25, 2015These are really nice. They are athletic cut. A large is more like a size 10. I am a size 14 and couldn't pull these on over my knees. They list the large as being equivalent to a us 14-16- not even close. If you are slim cut you will love these, but alas La Sportiva is European and runs very small comparative to american sizes.

David Burkus is the author of 'The Myths of Creativity: The Truth About How Innovative Companies and People Generate Great Ideas'. He is the subject of our latest 60 second interview.
1. How long have you been in the industry, and what is your current job title ?
I've been studying organizations for almost a decade, most recently in my role as Assistant Professor of Management at Oral Roberts University for the past two years.
2. Did you have a mentor and, if so, who ?
I didn't have one particular mentor per se. Early in my career, I was introduced to the concept of a personal Board of Advisors. I've been building, refining, and consulting my personal board for several years and it's worked really effectively. I get the benefits of mentors on a smaller scale but across a broader range of fields.
3. Are you by nature an optimist or a pessimist ?
An optimist. There's a tendency as one gets older to look back nostalgically on the "good old days" and lament about how badly the world has turned out. I take the opposite approach. Looking through history at how far we've all come, I think you can't help but get excited about what the future holds.
4. Which business leader do you most admire and why ?
Milton Hershey. I grew up a few hours from Hershey, Pennsylvania, but it wasn't until I was older that I learned Milton's story. Beyond building a successful candy company by persevering through setback after setback, Milton was also one of the first social entrepreneurs. While building up Hershey Foods, he also built a school to house and educate orphans.
Before he retired, he gave his shares in the Hershey Company to a trust that owns the school. The school owns the company; not the other way around. We're beginning to look at business models that make social good sustainable, but Milton had done that decades ago.
5. What's the biggest lesson you have learned in your career to date ?
Don't jump right to solutions; find the right problems. In my new book, I talk about the design thinking methodology. Design thinking devotes a considerable amount of time to observing the current state and making sure everyone is focused on the right problems. Too often business leaders jump to solutions that create unintended consequences. It pays to pull back from a problem and make sure it's the right one to solve before jumping right into implementing solutions.
6. What's your favourite business quotation or life motto ?
I teach all my students the phrase 'Don't Eat the Marshmallow', after Walter Mischel's famous marshmallow test. Mischel gave children a choice between eating one marshmallow now or waiting ten minutes and getting two marshmallows. Years later, the children who could delay gratification and wait for two marshmallows were getting better grades, earning more money, happier, and more successful on just about every measure. Learning to delay gratification is a big part of life and business success.
7. What's the best business book you've ever read ?
The next one. I love learning new subjects or going deeper in my domain. I've read so many great books about business, organizations, and life in general, but I'm always excited for what the next book has to teach me.

Altars of Stone
Iron is one of the metals which rusts. And it was looked upon as a symbol of pollution. Gold, on the other hand, was the symbol of glory and purity.
The altar was to be built of unhewn whole stones, in Aramaic called shalmatha, "whole" or "perfect." Shalam means "peace." Iron instruments might cause injuries to the workers and pollute the altar with human blood. The stones were to be natural, symbolizing the purity, naturalness, and simplicity of the religion of Israel, as compared with man-made pagan religions.
The altars of the God of Israel were to be different from lavish pagan altars. That is to say, they were to be simple. Many of the ancient altars in the countryside were built of unhewn stones
[Deut. 27:5].

The Beautiful Gate
These eight side gates, as we may call them, were all two-leaved, wide, high, with superstructures and chambers supported by two pillars, and covered with gold and silver plating. But far more magnificent than any of them was the ninth or eastern gate, which formed the principal entrance into the Temple. The ascent to it was from the terrace by twelve easy steps. The gate itself was made of dazzling Corinthian brass, most richly ornamented; and so massive were its double doors that it needed the united strength of twenty men to open and close them.
This was the 'Beautiful Gate;' and on its steps had they been wont these many years to lay the lame man, just as privileged beggars now lie at the entrance to Continental cathedrals. No wonder that all Jerusalem knew him; and when on that sunny afternoon Peter and John joined the worshippers in the Court of the Women, not alone, but in company of the well-known cripple, who, after his healing, was 'walking and leaping and praising God,' universal 'wonder and amazement' must have been aroused.
Then, when the lame man, still 'holding by' the apostles, again descended these steps, we can readily understand how all the people would crowd around in Solomon's Porch, close by, till the sermon of Peter–so fruitful in its spiritual results–was interrupted by the Temple police, and the sudden imprisonment of the apostles.

The True Vine and Veil Symbolism
The quote below gives us a word picture that the Savior used when He called himself the "true vine." Josephus also shares the Jewish interpretation of the embroidered veil symbolism.
"As to the holy house itself, which was placed in the midst [of the inmost court] that most sacred part of the temple, it was ascended to by twelve steps; and in front its height and its breadth were equal, and each a hundred cubits, though it was behind thirty cubits narrower; for on its front it had what may be styled shoulders on each side, that passed twenty cubits farther.
Its first gate was seventy cubits high, and twenty-five cubits broad; but this gate had no doors; for it represented the universal visibility of heaven, and that it cannot be excluded from any place. Its front was covered with gold all over, and through it the first part of the house, that was more inward did all of it appear; which, as it was very large, so did all the parts about the more inward gate appear to shine to those who saw them; but then, as the entire house was divided into two parts within, it was only the first part of it that was open to our view.
Its height extended all along to ninety cubits in height, and its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth twenty; but that gate which was at this end of the first part of the house was, as we have already observed, all over covered with gold, as was its whole wall about it: it had also golden vines above it, from which clusters of grapes hung as tall as a man's height; but then this house, as it was divided into two parts, the inner part was lower than the appearance of the outer, and had golden doors of twenty-five cubits altitude, and sixteen in breadth; but before these doors there was a veil of equal largeness with the doors.
It was a Babylonian curtain , embroidered with blue and fine linen, and scarlet, and purple, and of a contexture that was truly wonderful. Nor was this mixture of colors without its mystical interpretation, but was a kind of image of the universe; for by the scarlet, there seemed to be enigmatically signified fire, by the fine flax of the earth, by the blue of the air, and by the purple of the sea; two of them having their colors this foundation of this resemblance; but the fine flax and the purple have their own origin for that foundation, the earth producing the one, and the sea the other. This curtain had also embroidered upon it all that was mystical in the heavens, excepting that of the [twelve] signs, representing living creatures."

The Temple's Splendor
The Temple in Jerusalem at the time of Christ was an imposing sight. Josephus gives an impressive description:
Now the outward face of the temple in its front wanted nothing that was likely to surprise either men's minds or their eyes: for it was covered all over with plates of gold of great weight, and, at the rising of the sun, reflected back a very fiery splendor, and made those who forced themselves to look upon it to turn their eyes away, just as they would have done at the sun's own rays. But this temple appeared to strangers, when they were at a distance, like a mountain covered with snow; for, as to those parts of it that were not gilt, they were exceedingly white.
(Josephus, Jewish wars 5.5.6 §§222-23 #117)

Calming Storms & Drowning Legions
Ancient Jewish sages believed that the future Messiah of Israel should display certain Moses-like characteristics—powerful spiritual leadership and astute Torah teaching. It is no secret that Moses and Jesus have much in common, sharing similar life experiences. In particular, both led a mission of deliverance from bondage. Therefore, it should not surprise us to find parallels of language and themes from the Exodus within the Gospels. For example, in Luke 11:20, Jesus says that if he drives out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon the people. This unique phrase, "finger of God" is a direct reference to Ex 8:19 and the plague of the lice/gnats, where the Egyptian magicians proclaim that "this is the finger of God."[1]
The Gospel writers, with the possible exception of Luke, were biblically oriented Jews writing to other Jews and "God-fearing" Gentiles. When describing the life and teachings of Jesus, these writers would naturally want to communicate through shared biblical motifs understood in their Jewish framework. It is logical to suggest that their target audiences would be holding to certain expectations about their long-awaited Messiah.
Without understanding the life and work of Moses, the messianic reports about Jesus could potentially fall on deaf ears. Of the three Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke), Mark is perhaps the heaviest-laden with thematic parallels and inter-textual connections to the Exodus. To fashion a message with such links would have fit well into the more respected styles of teaching and storytelling known in the ancient Jewish world, specifically midrash. Within the ancient Jewish teaching there was often a sub-world of midrash, a sophisticated system of biblical interpretation that connected different parts of Scripture by word plays or subtle allusion. It has been widely taught in Christian circles that Mark's work was customized to fit the interests of a Gentile Roman audience. However, with a careful investigation of his style, it seems doubtful that Mark cast his pearls of midrashic teachings on those with no synagogue background or biblical literacy.
Keeping this in mind, several parallels to the Exodus come to light in Mark's depiction of Jesus. Jesus under pressure from the crowds (Mk 3:9-10), calming the storm (Mk 4:35), and delivering the demoniac from a host of demons (Mk 5:1-30) has allusions to the Israelites flight from Egypt (Ex 12:34), Moses calming the children of Israel at the Reed Sea (Ex 14:13-14), and the subsequent destruction of Pharaoh's army (Ex 14:27-28).
Under Pressure on the Shore
Both Mark and Luke relate that crowds pressed upon Jesus for healing and teaching while he was on the shores of the Sea of Galilee (Mk. 3:9, 10; Lk. 5:1).[2] At one point Jesus instructs his disciples to prepare a small boat so the crowds would not "press hard" upon him (Mk 3:9). Moments later, Mark tells us that Jesus is so rushed, he does not have time to eat a meal of bread (Mk 3:20). This seemingly insignificant detail about being "pressed" strikes a biblical chord and may be a clue to a larger story build-up connected to the Exodus account. With this phrase, "pressed hard", Mark's audience would be reminded that the children of Israel were under intense pressure and had little time to eat a meal with proper bread before their escape from Egypt (Ex 12:34).
In Exodus 14 we find Moses on the shore of the Reed Sea as the Israelite crowds press upon him for answers. The jubilation over their recent deliverance from slavery in Egypt has suddenly turned into the highest level of anxiety. As darkness falls, the Israelites are acutely aware that Pharaoh and his army are closing in behind them, while in front of them is the impassable Reed Sea. The Israelites cry out to Moses saying "did you bring us here to die in the wilderness?" (Ex 14:11).
Calming Words—"Peace, Be Still!"
Paralleling Mark 4:35-41, with darkness looming on the horizon Jesus and his disciples set sail. Later that night, they encounter a furious storm on the Sea of Galilee.[3] At this critical moment Jesus is found sleeping on a cushion and his disciples are in a state of terror as the waves begin to break over their boats. They awaken Jesus and cry out, "Teacher, don't you care if we perish?" (Mk 4:36). There is harmony here in all the Synoptic narratives, but the next detail sets Mark apart from the others when he tells us specifically what Jesus said to the wind and waves, "Peace! Be still!" (Mk 4:39).
Returning to Exodus 14, Moses is pressed for answers as the tension mounts and the future of the children of Israel hangs in the balance. With the crowds pressing him, he exclaims, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still" (Ex 14:13-14).[4]
With both Jesus calming the storm and Moses calming the Israelites, we have two nearly identical moments involving imminent doom that is tranquilized by the words "Quiet, be still" or "Peace be still." For reasons we may never know Matthew, Luke and John chose to leave out this fascinating link.
Pharoah's Legions and Pigs Drown
In Mark 5, Jesus and his disciples finally reach the other side of the Sea of Galilee in the early morning (conjectured time of day). They arrive in the Gerasene region of the Decapolis (possibly near modern day Kursi). There Jesus is confronted by a man who has been tortured for years by an unclean spirit. There is a dialogue between Jesus where the demons identify themselves by the military term "legion" and beg not to be sent out of the country (Mk 5:1-10). Jesus promptly exorcises these spirits out of the man and they enter a herd of pigs located on a nearby hillside, whereby the pigs rush into the sea and drown (5:13).
In Greek religious culture which was pervasive on the eastern side of the Sea of Galilee, pigs were often selected for sacrificial purposes. After Jesus casts the demons into the herd of swine that soon after drown, witnesses inform the local residents. Instead of expressing joy or gratitude for the miracle that had set the demoniac free, the residents request that Jesus "leave their region" (apelthein apo ton orion Mk 5:17). This angry reaction of the locals may provide a crucial hint at the religious offense of the pig drowning. Their Greek religious infrastructure had just taken a blow. After the Egyptians suffer from ten devastating plagues or divine strikes, we can hear a similar urgency in their words as they demand the Israelites be sent out of their region (ekbalein outous ek tais gais, Septuagint Ex. 12:33).
At the Reed Sea, Pharoah's army is thrown into utter confusion (Ex. 14:24), and like the possessed pigs charging into the Sea of Galilee, Pharoah's soldiers give chase to Israel. Yet, both hordes of legions meet a watery grave. Several commentators have suggested that Mark's narrative about the drowning pigs was originally intended to be a satire about the Roman occupation of the Jews. The wild boar was the symbol of the Roman 10th Legion, and the drowning of swine would have been welcome news to a Jewish audience. Likewise, after years of slavery in Egypt, the Israelites would have celebrated after the drowning of their oppressors.
The Gospel of Mark skillfully draws our eyes and ears back to one of the greatest rescue accounts of all time from one of the most popular Torah books, Exodus. Just as Moses represents God's redemption from the bondage of Egyptian slavery, so too, Jesus is the redeemer of those trapped in spiritual bondage or suffering from demonic oppression. Deliverance is a driving force in Jesus' life and ministry. Jesus not only sets them free, restoring them to their right mind, but the enemy takes a "hit" from the "hand of God" (Deut. 28:59).
Mark's linguistic links and thematic hints to the Exodus resonate with and solidify one of the central messianic expectations—that he should be like Moses. If Mark's intended audience were indeed Roman, I would suggest that they were most likely Jewish Romans or 'God-fearing' Gentiles who attended synagogues and would have been familiar with the rich Exodus themes. Mark's portrayal of Jesus as a liberator and redeemer like Moses would have convincingly communicated to these synagogue members Jesus' messianic purpose and message.

[2] Known as sea or lake Kinneret (כנרת ים) in biblical Hebrew (Num 34:11 and Jos. 13:27)
[3] Luke never uses the term 'sea' instead he consistently calls it a 'lake' (lymnain) a description more authentic to the size and reality of the Kinneret which is indeed a fresh water source. Mark on the other hand, never uses any term but 'sea' (thalassa) when speaking about the Kinneret. Matthew uses both terms but 'sea' is less frequent. By definition a sea is typically a larger body of salt water.

Herod the Builder
"Of course, because of God's instructions, the site of the Holy of Holies remained the same for both Temples, because this was a holy place set aside by God. The Jewish people were careful to keep track of its exact location. The Temple surrounding the Holy of Holies was greatly expanded by Herod, as were the Temple courtyards.
"But Jerusalem is a hilly area," Shep continued. "Herod wanted the entire complex to be on one level, so he dug rock, moved it, and created a huge level area on which to build. It wasn't very stable, so he built four huge retaining walls around the whole Temple area: a northern retaining wall, an eastern one, a southern wall, and the famous Western Wall.
"When the Romans demolished Jerusalem after the Bar Kochba revolt in 135 C.E., they destroyed everything in the city 'to the very last stone' except for the western retaining wall. This wall they left standing to serve as a reminder of the Roman's capacity for destruction." It serves as a vivid reminder to this day.

The Opulence Of The Two Temples
1 Chr. 22:5
It is known that most or all of the holy vessels of gold and silver from the tabernacle were with the Ark when it was brought from the city of David to the first temple by Solomon (I Kings 8:4). Although David desired to build a permanent house of God in Jerusalem, his son Solomon built the first temple. The plans were those of David, and David amassed the materials (I Chronicles 28:1-19; II Chronicles 2-4; I Kings 6-7).
These materials included 100,000 talents (Ref. 3) of gold and 1,000,000 talents of silver, (I Chron. 29). From his own private fortune David also gave 3,000 talents of gold and 7,000 talents of high grade silver. This is an enormous quantity of gold and silver by any standard: 100,000 talents of gold = 3750 tons, value today = $45 billion; 1,000,000 talents of silver = 37,500 tons, value today = $10.8 billion. In round numbers, the wealth of the first temple was about $56 billion. ...
The total wealth of the Second Temple was always small compared to the greatness of the First Temple though there were many changes made during the 400 years following the closing of the canon of the Old Testament. The Roman ruler Herod decided to completely rebuild and enlarge the Second Temple beginning in his 18th year of reign (c20 BC). Herod employed 10,000 workmen and 1,000 wagons. The size of the temple area was increased from 17 to 34 acres by excavations in the north and by the building of great retaining walls rising 450 ft from the Kidron Valley in the southeast. Within this area, now measuring 351 yards on the north side, 512 on the east, 536 on the west, and 309 on the south, rose the temple with its Corinthian columns of bronze, its different courts and gates and gleaming, spacious cloisters. The buildings and walls we built were extensive and massive. It was in this enlarged Second Temple built by Herod that Jesus was dedicated, and where he later taught and cast out the money-changers on two separate occasions. ...
The second temple treasury did benefit from a great influx of gold and silver from all lands contributed by worshippers. Cicero wrote of great influxes of gold to Jerusalem during his lifetime. Gifts other than gold or silver coins were sold and their value given to the treasury. Another large source of revenue was profit made from the sale of the meat offerings which were prepared by the Levites and sold every day to the offerers. By far the largest sum was probably derived from the half-shekel of temple tribute which was required of every male Israelite of age, including proselytes and slaves. The total sum of gold and silver contributed annually at the time of Jesus has been estimated to have been of the order of $500,000 per year. A large fraction of this wealth no doubt accumulated year after year over the lifetime of the second temple, (515 B. C. to 70 A. D.). There were numerous temple expenses but the evidence suggests that the bulk of the income was stored up year after year. Thus, the Roman plunder could well have been worth tens of millions of dollars.
The pillaging of the temple, its total destruction and the burning of Jerusalem with terrible suffering and loss of life occurred in 70 AD under the Roman General Titus (Josephus, Wars of the Jews). Tradition has it that the intense flames of the temple fire melted the gold and silver of the temple so that it ran between the cracks of the rocks. Roman soldiers then totally dismantled the temple stone by stone to extract the gold, (see Matthew 24:1-2). No one seems to know with certainty if any of the vessels or sacred objects from Herod's temple were hidden in subterranean passageways during the long siege of Titus. Most everything of value was most likely carried off to Rome.

Bowing as Worship
In many Asian and Middle Eastern cultures today, the act of bowing has tremendous significance both religiously and politically. Here is a scholarly insight that helps us to appreciate the symbolism of that posture.
"For much of the Old Testament, whether in Hebrew or in the Greek of the Septuagint, "bowing down" and "worship" are linguistic equivalents. Thus, according to George E. Mendenhall:
The symbolic action denoted by the Old Testament Hebrew term consists of kneeling before the god or person having power, and then leaning forward until the face rests on the ground, or sometimes becoming completely prostrate. Sometimes the act is completed and acknowledged by the god's or the king's placing his foot on the head or neck of the worshiper. The symbolisms should not be difficult to understand. The situation is that typified by a captive of war. The man has been rendered powerless by a superior power, and henceforth his fate is completely in the hands of the mighty one. He is in a state of absolute dependence upon the will of the victor, and this is the first basic significance of the act."
From such a perspective, incidentally, it is worth noting that the Islamic term "mosque" derives from an Arabic word masjid, meaning "place of prostration."

The passing of the pen has taken place in the offices of The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law's five student journals.
Meet the new editors for the 2012-13 academic year:
Jordan, a 2L from New Albany, Ohio, graduated from The Ohio State University in 2004 with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering. She worked in leadership roles prior to law school as a roadway and traffic engineer.
"The best reward I look forward to gaining from this experience is knowing that I contributed to the continued success of the Ohio State Law Journal," she said.
Jordan mentioned several initiatives in store for the journal in the coming year. Amid continuing the development of Furthermore, an online supplement to the journal launching soon, Jordan said she hopes to reach out to the journal's alumni with writing and editing programs.
Reddy, a 2L from Beachwood, Ohio, graduated from Case Western Reserve University in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in anthropology and Spanish. In addition to furthering her leadership abilities, Reddy said she's looking forward to working with and creating a positive, valuable experience for the journal's staff members.
"I view my involvement on the journal as an opportunity to contribute to a highly respected journal while continuing to work closely with faculty members," she said.
Alexander, a 2L from Powell, Ohio, graduated from Miami University in 2008 with a degree in psychology and English. He said Professor Joshua Dressler, Frank R. Strong Chair in Law, influenced his interest in criminal law and his decision to join the journal.
"One great aspect about the Journal of Criminal Law is that it is a faculty-student cooperative venture," Alexander said, adding that such faculty members are "leading minds in the field of criminal law."
He hopes to advance the journal's online presence through its Amici blog, which provides commentary from practitioners on criminal law topics.
Kroner, a 2L from Miami Beach, Fla., graduated from Oberlin College in 2007 with a degree in English. Having worked for a newspaper and volunteered at a public radio station prior to law school, Kroner said he initially involved himself with the journal because he was interested in the subject matter.
In addition to maintaining the journal's publishing standards and strict deadlines, he wants to "build enthusiasm for the journal among our staff and editors, both in the academic and social contexts."
Korkor, a 2L from Canton, Ohio, is a 2010 graduate of Case Western Reserve University, where she studied psychology and minored in Arabic. Korkor said her involvement with the journal has benefited her career objectives regarding interactions between private and public sectors.
As a previous staff editor, she said, "I decided to join our journal because it allowed me to edit articles on business law and write a student note on an issue relating to the interaction between government and small businesses."
As was almost unanimous among all the new editors, Korkor said she most enjoys working with a mixed community of faculty and students. "We are similarly interested in business law and in achieving the mission of our journal: producing a publication of scholarly research that explores the legal issues facing entrepreneurs, business owners, and venture capitalists."

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – Argentine President Mauricio Macri has been hospitalized for an irregular heartbeart.
The presidency said in a statement Friday that Macri suffered from a "light arrhythmia" at around 3 p.m. local time, but he carried on working normally at the presidential residence in the outskirts of Buenos Aires.
Macri was later checked into a hospital at around 7:30 p.m. for precautionary studies. He had not been released by 11 p.m. but the presidential press office said he is expected to be discharged "in the next few hours" and will return to his home.
Macri took office in December vowing to revive Argentina's economy and root out corruption. The 57-year-old is the former mayor of Buenos Aires. He also has been president of Boca Juniors, one of Argentina's top soccer clubs.

MANDEVILLE, Manchester:
AMID TALKS of Mandeville becoming a university town, president of the Northern Caribbean University (NCU) Trevor Gardner has said his institution has begun setting the stage for this to become reality.
"The parish must now deliberately seek out and ascertain other routes of economic prosperity... if we are to advance the agenda of the parish, we must begin to look at how to facilitate the tertiary institutions in the parish and help to advance the programmes within the reality of the people who dwell in the parish."
Speaking at the Manchester Chamber of Commerce monthly meeting last week Thursday, Gardner said in facilitating the advancement of the university town, his administration has already started implementing special initiatives.
"Among the new ideas being born are the annual Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics schoolyard, the Mathematics Education Institute - which was opened last year, expansion of graduate health programmes in collaboration with internationally recognised health institutions in the health fields and ventures into entrepreneurship ... the university has already initiated courses
that will accommodate the logistics hub ... ," Gardner told the gathering.
Teaching hospital
The president also said
18 months ago, the board of governors for the institution embarked on a study to explore the possibility of having a teaching hospital in Mandeville and will produce the final report next year June.
The institution's financial report shows that it contributed $15 billion to the gross domestic product over the last five years. Current plans will see its contribution doubling over the next five years.
"We also have on the planning block now four industries to come up within the next five years, not going to identify those in particular, but they will bring credit in terms of work opportunities to somewhere in the region of a thousand people in Manchester," stated Gardner
According to Gardner, institutions such as the Mico University College has latched on the idea of a university town by mapping out a geographical space. However, he believes with the multiplicity of institutions in the parish, Manchester is ideal for such a development.

New film examines the Future of Medicine
A new University of Cambridge film - The Future of Medicine - premiered today, featuring Jesus Fellow Professor Jeremy Baumberg.
In the film - shot to coincide with the recent launch of the Cambridge Academy of Therapeutic Sciences - Professor Baumberg appears alongside other researchers from across the University talking about some of the most exciting developments in medical research, and setting out their vision for the next 50 years.
Professor Baumberg discusses a future in which diagnoses do not have to rely on asking a patient how they are feeling, but rather are carried out by nanomachines that patrol our bodies, looking for and repairing problems.
Other subjects covered in the film include killer immune cells hunting and destroying cancer cells and biological scissors that cut out defective genes: just some of technologies that Cambridge researchers are developing which are set to revolutionise medicine in the future.
All of these developments will help transform the field of medicine, says Professor Chris Lowe, Director of the Cambridge Academy of Therapeutic Sciences, who sees this as an exciting time for medicine. New developments have the potential to transform healthcare "right the way from how you handle the patient to actually delivering the final therapeutic product - and that's the exciting thing".
You can read more about future therapeutics in the most recent edition of the University's Research Horizons.

There have been numerous pieces written in numerous places on the current obsession among evangelical pastors/leaders with talking/tweeting endlessly about their "smokin' hot wives.
It's an obsession that seems to have spread throughout American Christian culture, and these pieces critiquing the trend resonate with me. They resonate because I was once a part of the segment of evangelicalism that fosters this kind of attitude – the kind that makes leaders go on and on about their wives' hotness as if it's some kind of requisite modern virtue.
And, full disclosure, I bought into the smokin' hot talk for a while, if only to be one of the guys, part of the team. Of course, underlying all that rhetoric is a strong complementarian view of gender roles in the church and home, where men are the heads and women submit, where men are the shepherds and women…submit, where men need lots of sex because that's how God created them and women………submit. You get the idea.
That last part is especially dicey these days – because Christian culture is now totally hyped about sex.
Recently, I saw one megachurch pastor post a photo of his wife on Instagram with a caption from Proverbs 31 (I know, surprise surprise). Part of it made a slight addition the text: "her leather pants are like water to her husband's soul." This particular fellow is known for free and frequent hot wife posts, including one photo of the couple with a room full of new church members where he commented that despite his joy at meeting such great new people, he was really just staring at his wife's (no doubt leather-clad) butt. And one can unearth literally hundreds of posts like these at any given moment from evangelicals and pastors tweeting about their hot wives this and body parts that as a matter of pious online course.
It's all a bit disturbing, really.
And honestly, this kind of jibber-jabber is just a place setting for the more atrocious meal of Song of Solomon-themed sex sermons and books, not least those coming from Mark Driscoll or prosperity preachers like Ed Young, Jr.
All this, of course, is the way to show the world that Christians have the best sex ever and it's holy because we're married! And that we're not legalists or fundamentalists or scared of sex or whatever! And that we have so much of the fun when we are doing the sex in all of the sexy ways one may do it (even anal is ok, Pastor Mark said so)!
But here's what's really going on, most of the time. Mostly, guys blabbing about this stuff are just posturing. They are publicly asserting that they are in fact one of the (Christian) guys, the ones with the power, the ones with the penii (is that the correct plural form?). They are showing that they have a dominant gender role in the home and church, given to them by God, and by golly they are going to tweet compliments about their wives, using the words of drunk 19 year old fraternity brothers. And mostly, they are overcompensating because this Christian culture obsession with sex has got them thinking lustfully and, probably, not always about their wives of x years but other women more appealing to them in the teenage kneejerk visual stimulation sense.
In other words, mostly, they are projecting.
And worse, even as they go on and on about the hotness of their spouse, they are demeaning her.
When I asked my wife how that kind of thing made her feel when I was half-heartedly trying to be one of the guys, that's the word she used.
At a conference I attended recently, we heard from unbelievable women preachers, teachers, and theologians. And the context for their speaking was not, "Hey, it's time to hear from some ladies, wives of so and so pastor/author/professor!" They were not a sideshow. They were not speaking mainly "to women, as women." They were not playing off their gender as some kind of schtick. No, they were on the main stage. They were speaking to all and proclaiming the Word over all. They were speaking with authority – authority over men in the audience (who were all gladly submitting, btw, much to John Piper's dismay). Fact is, these women were responsible for some of the most powerful moments in the entire week, and put some of the other bros to shame (just saying!).
It occurred to me that not once in the entire week did I hear any male leader talk about his smokin' hot wife. Nor even an Obama-esque gaffe about being "cute" or "good-looking." And that's because this obsessive male Christian mentality can't exist where women are speaking and preaching and leading in the same roles as men, mutually submitted to Christ and each other. Such an environment literally chokes out these misogynistic habits or at least exposes them for exactly what they are – objectifying and dehumanizing to women. And make no mistake, that's what this is, because as soon as a woman is thought of as a thing – a thing like a "smokin' hot Christian wife" – she becomes less of a person.
And, interestingly, a person is exactly what a woman is first and foremost to God, a person made in God's image, filled with God's Spirit, and gifted to serve God as a member of the Body of Christ.
That's the perspective we should be talking and tweeting about.
Now, brothers, I know what you may be thinking. I can feel you winding up for the pushback. And I understand that you might think you're an exception and your compliments are sincere and well-meaning and your wife really likes it when you call her smokin' hot on Twitter and stuff. But I want you to consider that maybe, deep down, both you and she are not being totally honest. Maybe something beautiful is being cheapened here for both of you.
And maybe, just maybe, the sacredness of sexy compliments shared in secret would be like water to both of your souls.
What do y'all think? Am I on to something or not?!

One of the lessons I learned when working on OneNote 2010 has to do with the Turkish alphabet (I do not speak Turkish). In that language, the capital "I" character has a lowercase "i" which looks
like this: ı
Notice how there is no dot above the i.
So if you call some code that automatically converts to lower case with a string with 'I' in it, the character on a Turkish locale machine will see an ı character in that place instead.
There is a nice article with some code for this here which might be interesting reading.
The way this affected our tests was in our verifications. When we try to load files during some of our tests, we just want to load the file and that's it. The problems come in when files such as "Internal Registry File.reg" need to be imported. Windows itself does not care about capitalization (canonicalization, in the lingo) so "Internal Registry File.reg" and "internal registry file.reg" and "InterNal REGISTry File.reG" are all the same.
Going back to the problem, if anyone modifies the file name by changing only the capitalization of letters - which should never happen, but sometimes does - I don't want our tests failing. So our code typically has statements in it to convert strings of this type to all lower case letters:
string myFile = "c:\Internal Registry File.reg"
myFile = myFile.ToLower();
So now the file I am using is in this format "internal registry file.reg" and the test passes.
But on Turkish builds, I would wind up with "ınternal registry file.reg" and would fail since "i" and" ı" are not the same character at all.
One of the testers
noticed this and made our test code more resilient by checking for Turkish language usage just as the article mentions (I'm not going to copy/paste that code here).
Now in the event someone does change the canonicalization of the file name, our test will still run on all languages.
Questions, comments, concerns and criticisms always welcome,

Fly Biting Seizure
by Wendy
Reader Question: Fly Biting Focal Seizure
I have a 11-12 month old poodle mix that came out of the pound. A rescuer pulled her out because she had a really bad ear infection. Turns out her ear drum was ruptured.
She does that fly-biting stuff. It seemed like is was less often, but it is now happening a lot. I have different vets saying different things. One says she would not treat my dog until the seizures turned into grand mal seizures. Another vet said not to wait because a grand mal seizure can be very dangerous. My canine had blood work done and that was fine. Her ear is getting better as well.
Should you treat for focal fly biting seizures that happen a lot throughout the day and night?
Thank You,
Vet Recommendations for Fly Biting Seizures
Hi Wendy,
I usually do not treat focal seizures unless they are severe enough to adversely affect a pet's quality of life.
In your dog's case, I think the best thing to do is to first deal with her known health problems, like the ear infection, make sure she is eating a well-balanced diet made from healthy ingredients, and let her settle in to your home for a while. Stress can exacerbate seizures, and it sounds like her life has been pretty stressful up to now.
If after she is healthy she still continues to have frequent focal seizures, you'll have a decision to make. I think the chances of her progressing from focal seizures immediately to "grand mal" seizures that are severe enough to pose a risk to her health is pretty low.
You should have time to step in with anti-seizure medications if you start to see her developing generalized seizures. Remember too that anti-seizure medications can have some side effects (lethargy, vomiting, liver problems, etc.), which is why many veterinarians hold off on using them until they are truly necessary.

Iraqi officials say eight people were killed when armed robbers raided a marketplace in a Shi'ite neighborhood of Baghdad.
Police say mortar shells or rockets exploded in the popular market in the Shula district before gunmen stormed the market's gold and jewelry shops.
The gunmen escaped with the merchants' wares. Eight people were killed and at least 14 wounded in the assault that accompanied the heist.
Sectarian violence has declined in Iraq, but crime and lawlessness continue to plague the country.
Wednesday's assault comes one day after a suicide bomber killed eight people at a cafe in a predominantly Sunni town of Buhriz north of Baghdad. The casualties included Leith Mishaan, the leader of a Sunni militia that had turned against al-Qaida.
Some information for this report was provided by AFP.

Dodewaard, the Netherlands
Thousands of antinuclear demonstrators blockaded the Netherlands' nly nuclear power station, vowing to close it down. The protesters -- estimated by police at 2,500, by a protester committee at more than 10,000, and by journalists at just over 5,000 -- said they oppose plans to expand the plant. No violence was reported as police and demonstrators taunted and teased each other. The Dodewaard plant was built in 1968 as an experimental statin and supplies less than 1 percent of total Dutch generating capacity. The government proposes to build three additional plants, each with a 1,000-megawatt capacity, in the next decade.

Click inside for JustJared.com's exclusive interview with Kenny Wormald…
JustJared.com's Exclusive Kenny Wormald Interview
JJ: We've been waiting for the trailer, but have you seen the full film yet?
KW: I have. I've seen it a couple of times and I just went to a screening with a full crowd. It played so well with a full audience at the private screening. It truly hit me last night to see the audience and how they reacted to it. It was really incredible.
JJ: What was the reaction like at the screening? Did they know you were there?
KW: Yes. It was a lot of friends and friends of Paramount and producers affiliated with the movie. Overall they were very happy leaving the theater and were coming up to me. I was just blown away by how everyone reacted. I mean, I [personally] felt great about the movie, but you never know how other people will react. I was so pumped it was crazy. My mom also got to see it because she happened to be in Los Angeles for a couple of days. It was pretty amazing, a pretty great night.
JJ: Let's talk a little bit about your background because it wasn't acting at first.
KW: Yeah, I started doing professional work as a dancer before I acted. I started dancing when I was 6. My mom signed me up for a dance class at a local studio cause I had tons of energy and I was trying to mimic Michael Jackson's moves and dancing to New Kids on the Block. I grew up in Boston and they were from Boston, so she signed me up for dance and within a couple of years I was taking tap, ballet, jazz, and I just fell in love with it and stuck through it until I was 18. I stayed at the same dance studio, training everything from drama to musical theater to tap, ballet, jazz, and hip-hop came around when I was a teenager and I just stuck with it and decided to move to California because I wanted to be in videos. I was inspired by, you know, when Justin [Timberlake] came out as a solo artist and Britney Spears' old videos with all the dancing. I was so moved by that. It's pretty crazy. Here I am today. Full circle.
JJ: What about acting interested you?
KW: "I've alwasy been interested. I took drama as a kid and performing in dance shows. We wouldn't just dance. We'd have acting and musical theater. I was pretty much around it my whole life. I've always been inspired by it. I've always wanted to be the guy who was in movies. I was a big fan of movies and nost just dance movies but movies of all types. When I moved to L.A., dance just kind of clicked first so I was going with what worked and what was going to pay my rent. I had certain gials as a dancer I wanted to reach and one of them was touring with Justin Timberlake and that opportunity came around a few years ago and I was just so stoked I had reached all these cool achievements. I was ready for a new challenge and ready to start focusing predominantly on acting and the Footloose audition came around and I had been training in classes, working with acting coaches, so I was prepared and ready to go. I think Footloose is a perfect opportunity for me to be on the big screen for the first time as an actor cause it has some acting in it, but what's cool is that it's not a typical dance movie. It's a full on drama. There's a full on storyline and the dancing accents it. That's good since I want to continue to act and I don't want to be stuck as this dancer kid who got a lucky break. I want to solidify myself as an actor and continue to work as an actor. I've always wanted to do it and now I'm getting to do it and I hope to just continue to grow.
JJ: Kevin Bacon's name has already been mentioned. How have you approached playing a role that he made so iconic?
KW: Well I saw the original movie a ton as a kid and I was studying it during the audition process and I actually went into the audition and used my Boston accent. I put it on pretty thick just to be different from the other guys auditioning. In the original, [Ren] is from Chicago. He's from up north and moves down south so I really wanted to make myself an outsider and feel like one when I walked into the audition room. Once I did that, they decided to keep that and change the location from Chicago to Boston. I think that was helpful for me, to be a bit different than what Kevin was. BUt at the same time he was so good and so amazing in the original, you don't want to strain away from it. The director, Craig Brewer, he fell in love with the original one as all of us on the set did. We wanted to do right by him … We stayed true to the original, but we definitely added some elements to it to make it contemporary, make it modern, but definitely without getting too far from the original.
JJ: Any pressure at all taking on such a role?
KW: Yeah, definitely there's pressure. Once I first booked it, I was like, OK, here we go. Not only do I have to do this movie but I have to do it right by the original fans. There's a lot of people online who are already writing, 'Why are they making a remake?' Some people are stoked, some people are questioning it so there's definitely the pressure about it. The great thing about working with Craig is that he rewrote the original script as well as directed it so he kind of took the pressure on himself. He let us do what we had to do. When we were on set we didn't feel too much of that pressure. I feel like pressure comes from the outside world. When we were making it, we were so tapped into Footloose and [had this] tunnel vision for our film, so I didn't feel that pressure while we were working, which is great becuase yu don't want that to affect your performance.
JJ: Can you talk about working with Julianne. What was your first impression of her?
KW: First impression was great. Usually when you meet somebody [for the first time], you shake their hand, have coffee or something, a sit-down and talk, get to know them. Me and her? The first time we met was at the Paramount test screening. It was like, OK, we're going to put on some music and see what happens. You two just go ahead and dance. So it was like, OK! Here we go! So we met on those terms and right away you're bumping into each other dancing, stepping on each others' toes. You have to let your guard down right away to be comfortable in a situation like that. It was actually a positive thing that we got to know each other so well off hand. There was no guard up, no wall up. No "hi, how are you doing?" It was like, boo, right away. And we continued that during filming and I still keep in touch with her. She's an amazing girl and she absolutely kills this role. I think she's going to continue to grow and do a ton of great things.
JJ: What was your best memory on set?
KW: "The cool thing about [filming] was a bunch of us were a young cast. Noe one was too famous or too big for anyone else so we all got along really well. We were in Atlanta, Georgia, for three months, going out the whole time. We had so many fun moments. It was truly like summer camp. When we were done filming, we were like, aww summer camp is over! Me and Miles [Teller], the guy who plays Willard in the film, became pretty much best buds right away and we keep in touch and I hang out with him in L.A. He lives down the street. Just to share that experience with someone who I can call a best friend, it was great cause I know it's not going to be like that every set you're on so I valued that 100 percent.
JJ: You've toured with some big artists and now have this big movie coming up. What's your ideal next gig?
KW: I want to continue to make films and I want to continue to grow as an actor. Take on roles that don't just involve dancing. I want to do a little big of everything. So I plan on working hard … and seeing how it all pans out. But I'm definitely planning on continuing to make films and hopefully be on the level one day like the other guys from Boston – the Matt Damons, the Ben Afflecks – a Good Will Hunting remake? [Laughs].

Kochi, May 28 :
Blaming Rahul Gandhi for the party's electoral reverses in the Lok Sabha election, a senior leader in Kerala Wednesday termed the Congress vice president a "joker" and demanded he be removed from his posts if he does not step down voluntarily.
T.H. Mustafa, a former minister, also demanded Gandhi's sister Priyanka Gandhi be made the new party chief.
Addressing reporters here, Mustafa said that Gandhi should quit from his post and if he does not, he should be removed.
"Rahul behaved like a joker and that's the reason why the Congress suffered a major reversal in the Lok Sabha polls. The role of a prime minister is not child's play and the people knew it and handed out the worst defeat to the Congress party.
"He should take responsibility and quit and if not he should be removed and Priyanka Gandhi should be made the new president of the party," he said.
"His (Rahul's) mad style of working using computer and internet and in the company of a group of CWC members who only praise whatever he does has caused this defeat. It's unfortunate that even A.K.Antony belongs to this group," said Mustafa, a former minister in the K.Karunakaran cabinet (1991-95) and five-time legislator, known for openly attacking top leaders of his party.

[For Developers] LeakCanary By Square Is Really A Low-Effort Library For Easily Tracking Lower Memory Leaks In Android Apps
[For Developers] LeakCanary By Square Is Really A Low-Effort Library For Easily Tracking Lower Memory Leaks In Android Apps
- Development
- News
Writing great, high-quality software packages are effort. It doesn't matter how we all know a platform or how extended we purchase code, there will probably be bugs. Memory leaks are signs problems, and they might be particularly disruptive on mobile phones. Square tried to make memory leaks better to find and fasten having a completely new library referred to as LeakCanary. It will make leak recognition almost automatic and presents results in both logcat and a straightforward-to-read interface.
LeakCanary is built to be as easy to use as you can. For a lot of applications, it must just have a few additional lines inside the app's build.gradle file, then one more kind of code within your Application class. This will enable tracking for memory leaks in activities. For further comprehensive coverage, the RefWatcher object might be given to observe objects that should be garbage collected.
When a product isn't released properly, LeakCanary publishes a leak trace to logcat and fosters a notification inside the status bar. Tapping round the notification reveals a screen getting an easy demonstration of the leak trace that shows which class object remains holding a reference. If memory leaks are identified that cannot be fixed, including known issues inside the Android SDK itself, LeakCanary might be configured to disregard these without producing any notifications.
Solutions are temporarily locked in your app's private storage, but they might be exported using a share intent, or they might be posted with a server with a few extra code.
LeakCanary joins Square's substantial report on free projects. It's completely free as well as the member list was already exploding in proportions. For a short while of backstory about how precisely the job began, check out Square's blog publish, or dive towards the setup instructions to acquire started from it inside your projects.

Hi Aaron, OOM is happening both after the system has been running for a while as well as when I restart it afterwards. The only way to make it run after it has crashed, is to remove everything from data and commitlog directories.

GORGEOUS print -- just amazing!
Stuart Gardner | Interzone, Alphaville | 07/25/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
"You don't need to be told about this film, you just want to know if this is the DVD to buy.
YES, it is. The quality of this print is astounding. It's beautiful, sharp and clear, and even the TRAILER for the film (included on the disc) is in good shape.
Under ordinary circumstances I'd be happy with the quality of this print and trailer (and even with the quality of the transfer), but considering what a cheap little public domain title SCARED TO DEATH is, and the fact that the quality of this DVD label's products varies wildly, I am stunned. I think you will be, too."
Horror Comedy
Charles J. Rector | Woodstock, IL United States | 02/13/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Scared to Death is a rare example of a horror parody that works both as horror and comedy. Usually such flicks work as comedies, but utterly fail in the horror department. Scared to Death does a great job of establishing a creepy, moody atmosphere.
Scared to Death features strong performances, most notably from Bela Lugosi, George Zucco and Nat Pendleton. The movie itself is quite lovely to look at. The film was shot in "natural color" which is quite similar to two strip Technicolor such as that used in the 1933 horror classic Mystery of the Wax Museum.
Scared to Death's script is quite strong and features such great lines as "Do not treat Igor with respect...it only offends him!" In another scene, Nat Pendleton's character tells a lady that he wishes that she would drop dead so he would have a murder to investigate.
Scared to Death works both as horror and comedy and as such is warmly recommended.
Bela in Living Color
Scott T. Rivers | Los Angeles, CA USA | 12/04/2008
(2 out of 5 stars)
""Scared to Death" (1947) is a bizarre mixture of horror, mystery and comedy. The low-budget production remains notable for being the only color film to star Bela Lugosi (who wears his Dracula cape in yet another red herring role). Another unique distinction is the jarring flashback structure - with narration provided by a dead woman in the city morgue! The B-movie cast includes George Zucco, Molly Lamont, Angelo Rossitto and the archaic comic relief of Nat Pendleton. Running 67 minutes, "Scared to Death" benefits from Bela's striking Cinecolor presence and its decidedly weird atmosphere. Not a particularly good film, but a watchable curio."

Couriers chase down stolen bicycle
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- Two bicycle couriers chased and caught up with a bicycle thief in a wild ride through the streets of Los Angeles, police said.
The bike messengers were watching as a man stole the Iron Horse Desperado Mountain Bike outside a downtown gym where its owner was working out. By the time the owner, Jesus Tobar, came outside and noticed his $500 bike was gone, the two couriers were already chasing the thief, the Los Angeles Times reported.
After a chase of about five blocks, one of the riders was able to grab the thief's shirt and pull him to ground. The thief escaped on foot but Los Angeles Police Department Commander Andrew Smith said he didn't get away unscathed.
"We are now looking for a 30-year-old man with a torn shirt, a possibly sprained ankle, as well as road rash," Smith said.
Police: 'Pantsing' sets off dual crimes
DELAND, Fla., Feb. 23 (UPI) -- Florida authorities said they were looking for a suspect accused of trashing his roommate's belongings after the roommate allegedly assaulted him after a prank.
Volusia County sheriff's deputies said Kester Andy Narine, 37, was climbing a ladder at the DeLand, Fla. Home he shares with David Dibella, 47, when Dibella pulled down Narine's pants Thursday. Narine didn't find the prank funny and allegedly attacked Dibella with a gun and a knife, the Daytona Beach (Fla.) News-Journal reported.
Narine was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery, obstructing an officer without violence and false imprisonment. He was being held in lieu of $15,000 bail.
Dibella was treated at a hospital for a knife wound to his hand. Deputies said he then returned home and vandalized the inside of the house with food condiments and gasoline before disappearing.
Deputies said they were searching for Dibella on a warrant for criminal mischief.
Mennonite schools struggle with anthem
GOSHEN, Ind., Feb. 23 (UPI) -- A Mennonite university in Indiana is defending its decision to play the national anthem at some sports events and another school is considering a similar move.
Goshen College, which previously did not play "The Star-Spangled Banner" at sporting events because the lyrics are seemingly at odds with the peaceful ideals of the Mennonites, said the college's Board of Directors approved a change during the weekend to allow the song to be played in instrumental form at selected games, The Goshen (Ind.) News reported.
"Many wonderful and challenging things are going on at Goshen College right now, but I want you to know that we will continue to take this issue -- and what you think about it -- seriously," college President Jim Brenneman said in a letter to alumni.
Meanwhile, officials at grade 6-12 Bethany Christian Schools, which was barred from hosting sectional championships three years ago for refusing to play the anthem, said they are considering an amendment to a policy similar to that implemented at Goshen.
"Clearly, I think that the coaches and parents whose students participate in these sports, we all recognize that a home field advantage is an advantage," said Allan Dueck, principal of Bethany Christian Schools. "There's a feeling out there right now that if there are 10 schools in our division, it feels like we should be able to spread around the benefits of hosting."
Croc spotted on Aussie golf course
TOWNSVILLE, Australia, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- Authorities in the North Queensland region of Australia are warning residents to keep an eye out for crocodiles following a recent golf course sighting.
Animal authorities said a 5-foot freshwater croc was spotted walking across a green last week at a Townsville golf course, while an 8-foot saltwater crocodile was spotted swimming near the city's main beach, which was subsequently evacuated, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported.
Adrian Lawson, a manager at the golf course, said it was the first time a crocodile had become a problem on the property.
"This is North Queensland we're talking about here, where the men are tough and the crocodiles are scared," he said. "The croc's just been easing itself around in the lake, maybe looking for a fish or two and sunning itself in the beautiful, sunny weather that's finally come back after the rains, but that's all it does."
Peter Roulston, who manages Townsville's beaches, said the beach was temporarily shut down after the croc sighting due to fears that it could bypass the stinger nets provided for swimmers. He said the beach was reopened after inspectors found no sign of the animal.
