Council member Jeff Davis initially raised the issue at the council's June 13 meeting, saying he'd heard several complaints about the city's policy banning dogs in Swanny City Park. Davis requested that the council have further discussions about the policy.
Moab City Manger Donna Metzler said city staff is not as concerned about dogs being disruptive as about the potential impact dogs would have on the grass in the parks.
"If dog usage is allowed, we will see an impact on our lawns," she said.
Jeff Foster, director of public works, agreed. "It's been really difficult to keep the lawn green and beautiful as it is," Foster said, citing the number of special events that take place at Swanny Park. He said that even if people are responsible and clean up after their dogs, there is no way to prevent the yellow spots caused by dogs urinating on the grass.
Moab Animal Control Sgt. Randy Zimmerman said he spoke with several other cities and counties regarding their dog ordinances and problems they'd seen as a result. While many of the cities allowed dogs without any reported issues, others like Park City are considering banning dogs from the parks because of issues with owners not cleaning up after them, as well as not following leash laws.
"People just have a tendency to let their dogs off the leash," Zimmerman said. "They bother the people that don't want to be bothered."
Police Chief Mike Navarre said that out of all the cities they talked to, there was a consistent issue with cleanup. "Even the parks that have clean up stations, people don't clean up after their dogs," he said. "I'm a dog lover ... but Swanny is such a beautiful park, I'd hate to see a bunch of problem spots."
Council member Kirstin Peterson said that the city already offers a lot of places for people to take their dogs. "We already do quite a bit for dogs," she said. "The whole Millcreek Parkway system is an awesome place to walk your dog. We've got the Bark Park where dogs can be off leash. And we're surrounded by a lot of space where people can take their dogs. It would be different if there weren't all these other options."
Navarre said that if the city did decide to allow dogs in the parks, they would probably still be restricted during special events. "The car show isn't going to want dogs there," he said.
Though Davis wasn't present for the discussion, the rest of the council members agreed that they wanted to continue to keep dogs out of the parks.

We're obsessed with chevron print! The beloved v shaped print can be found just about anywhere this spring and summer. The hottest celebrities have been seen wearing this hot trend in their most chic outfits. Here is how you can incorporate this fabulous print into your luxury swimwear collection.
Olivia Wilde styled her black and white chevron print maxi with a solid black leather jacket and solid black purse. We loved how she added the bold and solid color to her chevron print look. You can get a similar look in your designer swimwear by wearing the American Girl bikini. This swimsuit has a sexy navy blue and white chevron print triangle bikini top. The solid blue in the bikini bottoms make the print of the top pop even more. We are wild about this look and think it would look great with denim shorts when you're walking around poolside or on the beach.
Beyonce's great street style is always getting her noticed when she has time off from her busy schedule. She wore this trendy geometric look with a pink, white and purple chevron print blouse and bright pink trousers. These soft pastel colors are perfect for spring and will transition great into summer as well. Rock the Boat bikini has both trends with the pastel colors and chevron print. We love the extra touch of glam in this bikini with the white and gold hardware rings on both the top and bottom's. You'll be sure to get compliments wearing this chevron print bikini this spring!

The move comes months after a string of hacking attacks compromised over 100 million accounts of the PlayStation Network subscribers.

This week my husband was away on business for a couple of days, but before he left, he made his famous "lentil beef" Crock-Pot recipe. As you might imagine, having a pre-made meal was a huge help being alone with four kids, and I thanked him for making it.
Of course, it only involved him putting beef and a can of lentil soup in a slow cooker and turning it on, but whatever. It tastes good and the kids love it.
But when he got home the next day, he decided to make a huge deal about how awesome he was for cooking it. And you might be surprised at how I responded.
I'd like to think I'm a bit of a scorekeeper due to my near-photographic memory, but really, when you've got a husband who travels and you're home with four kids, it's really easy to get caught up in keeping track of how little time you've had alone or how many diapers you've changed.
Over the years, I've gotten a lot better about ditching the score sheet, mostly because I know how much damage it can do to a relationship. And because he's gotten a bit better about being more appreciative of what I do while he's gone.
So when he decided to gloat about the one meal he's made compared to my 40,000 (a low, rough estimate), I didn't do what I wanted to do, which was remind him of every single time I've made numerous meals for him when I travel. Or all the dinners and lunches and breakfasts I make pretty much every single day.
That doesn't mean I didn't mention them. But I did it with humor, rather than revenge.
And instead of turning the ridiculousness into a pretty big fight about who does more, we just had a hearty chuckle about his amazing two-ingredient Crock-Pot meal.
In all honesty, I still think it's more than silly for him to brag about the meal he made given the circumstances. It would be like me reminding him constantly about the one time I mowed the lawn or washed the car, two things that are decidedly his "jobs" around the house.
But I'm proud of myself that I was able to leave the score sheet tucked away in my drawer and just enjoy my husband's need for attention. Besides, as I try to remind myself, when it comes to parenting and relationships -- if I weren't laughing, I'd probably be crying.
What are some ridiculous things your spouse does that you just have to laugh at?

No, they did so to compete with iOS and Android mostly.
But seeing more hardware like this, the Cotton Candy, PandaBoard, Beagle Board as well as machines like the OpenPandora and the stuff AlwaysInnovating are working on could pose a threat as soon as next year with the quad core Cortex A-15 series with their Mali-T658 GPUs that are supposed to have round about the graphics processing power of a PS3.
Hopefully by then OpenCL will be hammered out and we'll see be able to see what can really be done on ARM hardware as OpenCL 1.1 is a stated feature of the next gen Mali GPUs.
A quad core ARM CPU with a GPU that supports WebGL and OpenCL a DSP that can handle H.264 and VP8 @ 1080p w/ 2Gb+ of ram will easily be more then "good enough" for the vast majority of users our there.
I wouldn't put it past Canonical and Mozilla to try their hand at selling such a beast to the general public in either tablet, netbook or nettop form.

Veterans Affairs Document Library
In March 2006, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger charged the California Community Colleges (CCC), California State University (CSU), University of California (UC) and the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Labor and Workforce Development to expand educational opportunities for active duty service members and veterans. The vision was for California to become the nation's leader in providing educational opportunities for service members and veterans. To this end, the three higher education segments agreed to expand outreach programs, academic and financial aid advising, on-base classes and admission opportunities.
At the same time that statewide initiatives were developing, the CSU Chancellor's Office Student Academic Services department was operationalizing internal processes to make the CSU a friendlier place for active duty service members and veterans; the goal was to make the CSU their first choice and to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for current students. The CSU's parallel efforts led to the development of models that informed the statewide initiative.
The timeline and supporting documentation below covers a time span from March 2006 to the present, which is the period of time when the CSU developed most of its campus veteran affairs programs.

It�s probably easier to stop a good idea in the American government than anyplace else on earth. It can be killed in a House committee; it can be filibustered in the Senate; it can be voted down in either hall of Congress; it can be vetoed by the President; it can be declared unconstitutional by the courts.
The bright side: It�s just as easy to stop a bad idea.
This is not an accident. It�s a design. The fact that it isn�t easy for anyone to ride into Washington on a white horse and change the country isn�t a problem � it�s our failsafe against authoritarianism. The Founding Fathers wanted America to be led by people who could unite neighbors and bring factions to accord. The American constitutional system is designed to reward people who can work together: who can talk a bill through Congress, work with the president to get his approval, and craft it in such a way as to keep it acceptable to the judicial branch.
That takes empathy and a willingness to compromise. Without them, it�s nearly impossible to get anything done in American politics.
Without them, you get a record like the Tea Party�s � which has certainly hurt the Democrats, but has utterly failed to achieve any of its goals.
The tragedy of this, to me, is just how many goals it could have attained if it had been willing to work with Progressives.
Though they have substantive, meaningful, and legitimate differences in a philosophy of government � and likely could never be anything more than short-term allies � imagine what they could have accomplished if they�d teamed up on a few issues against the centrists and insiders that make up conventional politics. Here are just a few issues:
� Stopping the national security state
No Issue has highlighted the hypocrisy of liberals more than their acceptance of the blatantly unconstitutional �homeland security� apparatus started under President Bush now that a Democrat is in office. They trust their guy to have powers that no president should have, and they have stood by as national security officials have blatantly lied to the American people. It will come back to haunt us all.
On the left, only the progressive wing of the Democratic party has kept its head and insisted the federal government scale back its security efforts to constitutional bounds � while the Tea Party on the right has had the moral fortitude to make the same demands of its own. Independently, neither has enough juice to move the mainstream majority on this issue. But together they could have made it happen. It�s a missed opportunity of historic proportions.
� Punishing Wall Street malefactors�� and ending �too big to fail�
Progressives and the Tea Party will never agree on a full economic program � but both believe that Wall Street elites have gamed the system against ordinary Americans, and that they need to be punished. Both believe that if an institution is so big that it can�t be held accountable for its crimes, then it has no place in American life. Separately, neither has been able to move the legal system to properly police white-collar crime. Together, however, they could have made the American financial system far more fair for Americans.
� Closing unfair and unnecessary tax loopholes
Taxation is the great divide for contemporary liberals and conservatives � but the Tea Party has done yeoman�s work eliminating congressional earmarks, and often shares with Progressives a willingness to spear tax loopholes that centrists would never touch. Getting big companies to pay their share wouldn�t satisfy the Tea Party goal of shrinking government, but it would make the tax code more fair � and mean the government would have less pressure to raise taxes on all Americans.
I know all this is a fantasy, I know it�s not going to happen. I know the Tea Party is impossible and Progressives obnoxious. But I think it�s worth pointing out, as we pass through another election, just how much could have been accomplished had we simply been able to agree with each other on the things we agree about.
The fact that we have to cooperate to get things done means that the best neighbors make the best leaders. If we seem stuck, perhaps it�s because we�re forgetting that.

BENJAMIN WACHS: What if Tea Party, Progressives teamed up?
It�s probably easier to stop a good idea in the American government than anyplace else on earth. It can be killed in a House committee; it can be filibustered in the Senate; it can be voted down in either hall of Congress; it can be vetoed by the President; it can be declared unconstitutional by the courts.

Travel Tips to Innsbruck (INN)
With its fascinating history and world-class ski slopes, there are plenty of reasons to book your tickets to Innsbruck. Two-time host of the Winter Olympics, Innsbruck features several ski resorts both within and just outside the city limits. The locals are deeply proud of their culture and are keen to demonstrate their traditions at the city's numerous festivals and regional events, particularly during the winter season. Start your vacation in style and comfort by booking your flights to Innsbruck through FlyDoha.
Best Things to Do in Innsbruck
- Admire the gorgeous 15th-century Goldenes Dachl, a Gothic balcony built for Emperor Maximilian I from which his court could look down on the square
- Stroll through Schloss Ambras, former home to the Archduke Ferdinand of Tyrol, which features exhibits of armor and curios collected from around the world
- Hit the slopes at the famous Nordpark
Hidden Innsbruck Gems
With so many historical sites to explore, it's easy to overlook Innsbruck's fantastic Alpenzoo, Europe's highest-altitude zoo. You might feel overwhelmed by Innsbruck's countless attractions, but save time for Volkskunst Museum, which houses a collection of Tyrolean folk art, including carnival masks.
Innsbruck's Pleasures
Locals in Innsbruck are passionate about classical music, and Landestheater is the best place to experience this tradition. If you prefer a more modern melody, look for flight deals to Innsbruck in July to participate in the city's New Orleans Jazz Festival.
Plan Your Innsbruck Holiday
Winter sports enthusiasts should book their flights to Innsbruck between December and April to take advantage of great skiing weather. If you are on a tight budget, consider visiting the region during the autumn offseason, which is the best time to find cheap hotels in Innsbruck. Attractive pricing is one of the many reasons that FlyDoha is a popular choice for Innsbruck travelers.

Once again I made one of my forays around Internet Land, and once again I was surprised at some of the little nuggets that I came upon about doing genealogy research in Ireland. Here are just a few.
"It takes two hours to get a reader's ticket at the National Library of Ireland".
Really? Two hours? What the heck were you doing during that time?
Getting a reader's ticket at the National Library of Ireland is very easy and should take, at most, about fifteen minutes.
One: you fill out the application (now via computer in their lobby).
Two: you present i.d. (your passport is best), and get an i.d. photo taken in their gift shop.
Three: the staff member prints out the ticket with photo, laminates it, and puts in on a little chain so you can wear it.
Tah Dah!
You're ready to research.
(You might spend a few more minutes if you'd like to have a chin wag with the gift shop staff member or the security guards.)
"Irish Research Centres are really expensive to search in."
Okay, if a man in a trench coat approaches you on the street and says, "Psst, want to buy some research from my research centre?", then RUN as fast as you can to the National Library of Ireland (NLI) or the National Archives of Ireland (NAI), both located in Dublin City.
Both the NLI and the NAI provide a FREE genealogy advisory service, and they are staffed by very helpful personnel. They will direct you to the library and archive resources which you may want to view (again free). Also, both the NLI website and the NAI website provide research guides to Irish genealogy, and details about all of their holdings, including materials such as parish registers (NLI, on microfilm), Tithe Applotment books, wills and testamentary records (NAI). As is the case with all libraries and archives, you do have to pay for photocopies or microfilm copies.
For those searching online, individual county based genealogy centres have been involved in the transcription and digitization of Irish church records for many years. Most of them are part of the Irish Family History Foundation (IFHF), and their records can be accessed online through the IFHF website. You may search this site for free; the viewing and purchase of an individual record will cost 5 Euros (about $6.50 USD). If you are in Ireland, it is best to stick with such places as the National Library, the National Archives, Dublin City Library, or other local libraries for research. The county centres provide a research service based on the indexes they hold, but do not normally allow members of the public direct access to them.
As is the case elsewhere, if you contract with a professional researcher/genealogist to do research for you, then yes, you must pay for the services of that person. I have been doing research in Ireland for years, and I have never, at any time, paid to do my own research.
"they [the Irish] were taught not to make records".
This bit of nonsense nearly made my head explode. Taught NOT to make records? Was there a training course? Did everyone just sit in the classroom and stare at the chalk board?
Consider for a moment a micro-mini history of Ireland...
12th and 13th centuries:
The Norman invasions: burning, pillaging, rack and ruin: Yes, probably loss of records.
17th century:
That little darling Oliver Cromwell stopped by, ripping up the south and east of the island in his bid to "reconquer" Ireland for England. Catholic Churches were deliberately razed by cannon fire. More burning and pillaging, and yes loss of records, hiding of records, and who knows perhaps even avoidance of making records.
18th century:
1798 Rebellion: some damage to property, perhaps even some destruction of records.
19th century:
1845: legislation provides for the registration of civil marriages and the regulation of all non-Catholic marriages, and creates the Office of the Registrar-General responsible for the collation and custody of all birth, death and marriage records.
1864: further legislation provides for the inclusion of Catholic marriages, together with all births and deaths.(For the history of civil registration in Ireland visit this GRO site history page).
20th century:
1922: during the Irish Civil War: fire at the Four Courts Complex results in the destruction of the Public Records Office and with it the loss of about two-thirds of the pre-1870 Church of Ireland parish registers, as well almost all 19th century census documents, and pre-1922 probate records. (see this post for further information)
YES, throughout Irish history there have been times when records have been destroyed, either deliberately or inadvertently, but the Irish being "taught NOT to make records"? I think that's more than a bit of a stretch.
As always, I thank you for reading/listening to my Monday Madness. Sigh! I feel so much better.

Senators are allowed to introduce bills for the first 10 days of the legislative session. At the end of the 10th day, 655 bills, 6 constitutional amendments and 7 resolutions that require a public hearing were introduced by the Legislature. During the last several days of bill introduction, legislation was introduced to expand Medicaid coverage as envisioned under the federal health care reform law, to divert one-quarter of one percent of the sales tax for water sustainability projects, to repeal the law passed last year diverting one-quarter of one percent of the sales tax for road projects, to repeal the law passed last year providing Medicaid coverage of prenatal care for unborn children of illegal immigrants, to abolish the death penalty and to overhaul the juvenile justice system.
I introduced six bills and signed on as a co-sponsor to several others. Three of the bills that I introduced had their public hearing during the first week of hearings, of which two have already been advanced to the floor of the Legislature.
The first bill that I introduced was Legislative Bill 100. It proposes to bring state law into conformity with the current provisions of federal law relating to automatic teller machine (ATM) fee disclosure requirements. Currently, state law requires financial institutions operating ATMs to display notices in two separate places to notify customers that they might be charged fees for withdrawing cash from the ATM. One notice is a placard posted in a prominent location on the ATM and a second notice is required to appear on the screen of the ATM or on a paper notice issued from the machine prior to the completion of the transaction. Congress recently passed legislation eliminating the posting requirement, which is no longer needed as most every ATM now has on-screen capabilities to notify customers. Furthermore, the posting requirement has led to lawsuits across the country when the placard is missing or has been deliberately removed. LB 100 would remove the posting requirement from state law, once again conforming state law with federal law.
I introduced LB 102 at the request of the Department of Natural Resources. In 1997, the Legislature passed the License Suspension Act, finding that the potential suspension of a professional, occupational, or recreational license or driver's license for failure to pay child support was an effective tool in the enforcement of child-support orders. To implement the law, social security numbers were required on the applications for certain licenses and permits. Consequently, applicants for certain water permits were required to list their social security numbers. Since these permits are public records, department personnel must redact this information before making them available to the public, but must keep the originals intact. Since the Department of Health and Human Services has never requested information on these permits, the legislation strikes the requirement for the inclusion of the applicant's social security number. Not only will this save staff time, it will also protect the identity of the public.
The third bill that I introduced at a public hearing this past week was LB 156. Counties are required to establish general assistance programs and may develop community service programs for employable recipients. Counties utilizing a community service program are required to file an annual report to the Department of Health and Human Services. Previously, the department was to summarize the county findings in a report to the Legislature. However, this requirement was eliminated in 2005. Since only two counties have submitted reports and the reports are not being utilized, LB 156 strikes this requirement of the counties.
The other three bills that I introduced have not been assigned a hearing date at this time. LB 101 proposes to reduce the valuation of agricultural land from 75% to 65% of actual value for school district taxation purposes. LB 588 creates the Veterans Preference Act, to assist veterans when applying for jobs with the state and its governmental subdivisions. Finally, LB 589 deals with the responsibilities of natural gas companies in regards to the One-Call Notification requirement during emergency conditions.
As the Legislature begins debate on bills that have advanced to the floor, I encourage you to contact me with your thoughts and opinions. I can be reached at District #1, P.O. Box 94604, State Capitol, Lincoln, NE 68509. My e-mail address is email@example.com and my telephone number is (402) 471-2733.

Ubuntu has always had a Gtk+-policy (well, Firefox and OpenOffice were the exceptions), but today, that has changed. On his blog, Mark Shuttleworth has announced that starting with the release after Natty Narwhal, Ubuntu is going to start evaluating Qt applications for inclusion in Ubuntu's default installation.
According to Shuttleworth, the major issue that needs to be overcome is that Qt applications use a different settings backend than the rest of GNOME. "To address this, Canonical is driving the development of dconf bindings for Qt, so that it is possible to write a Qt app that uses the same settings framework as everything else in Ubuntu," he writes, "We've contracted with Ryan Lortie, who obviously knows dconf very well, and he'll work with some folks at Canonical who have been using Qt for custom development work for customers."
He hopes these dconf bindings will also find their way to KDE applications. "I think it's entirely plausible that dconf, once it has great Qt bindings, be considered by the KDE community [...]," he explains, "Nevertheless, should a KDE app learn to talk dconf in addition to the standard KDE mechanisms, which should be straightforward, it would be a candidate for the Ubuntu default install."
As far as I'm concerned, this is great news. I used to not be a fan of using Qt application in a Gtk+ environment and vice versa, but I think that with enough polishing and backend integration, it should be possible maintain the nice and consistent feel of a strict Gtk+ or a strict Qt environment.

While we brought you a previous slideshow based on a survey by Dice Learning on the certifications IT pros said helped them futher their careers and command higher salaries, that list doesn't necessarily mirror demand. This top 10 list reflects the number of times certifications were mentioned in jobs openings posted at Dice.com as of April 1.
Dice notes that while the certifications Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP), Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) and Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) ranked among the top 10 in demand, they didn't make the top 10 for boosting pay.
And though Security+, Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) and Network+ were cited as certifications that boosted pay, they were just outside the top 10 in current demand, ranking Nos. 11-13.

Fleetwood RV Inc. Debuts Gas-Powered Encounter
December 15, 2009 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Fleetwood RV Inc. Debuts Gas-Powered Encounter
Motorized manufacturer Fleetwood RV Inc., Decatur, Ind., has introduced an entry-level gas-powered Encounter Class A motorhome that the company calls a "crossover" model. "The Encounter has the increased sleeping capacity of a Class C and the increased storage and tank capacity of a Class A," said Fleetwood President John Draheim (shown at left). "It has the driving benefits of both." Available in three 28- to 31-foot floorplans, Encounter is mounted on a Ford F-53 SuperDuty chassis with 16,000- or 18,000-pound GVWRs. Options that characterize the Encounter as a "crossover" include a queen size "Hide-a-Loft" bed that powers down electronically from over the cockpit. Introduced at the recent Louisville Show, Encounter also has an optional "Bunk Bed-n-Breakfast" that converts a two-person dinette into bunk beds. Encounter features include pass-through storage, heated holding tanks and luggage compartment, rear-vision camera with monitor and water filtration. MSRPs start at $81,263. Also for 2010, Fleetwood introduced its first 45-foot quad-slide, side-aisle floorplan in the luxury American Tradition diesel pusher along with a 2010 American Heritage with 450 square feet of living space and a 40-foot full wall slide floorplan in the Discovery diesel pusher.

STOCKTON - It was just an old quilt, white with a jumble of colors.
STOCKTON - It was just an old quilt, white with a jumble of colors.
But Raegan Cicilio was new to Stockton in 2009, and she had to do something about the mysterious neighbors on San Joaquin Street.
"We live in the Magnolia District in downtown," Cicilio said. "I saw the darkness. I asked the Lord to open my eyes about the house across the street."
So she spread the blanket on her front lawn, and sat down and watched her children play with their friends, accomplishing a secondary goal of neighborliness.
She was there often, reading a book and observing.
"I saw men coming and going inside that house, but no women," Cicilio said. "I went to a Bay Area conference on how to recognize a brothel in your neighborhood. It confirmed for me that it was sex trafficking. I called the national trafficking network.
"It broke my heart for what was happening right here in our city. As men came by, I would pray that they would be disgusted, that the brothel would be closed, that they would be bummed out by what they were doing.
"I was just a mom with blanket."
One day the house across the street fell quiet. The brothel had closed and, months later, Cicilio discovered it had been part of a five-city Northern California prostitution ring that victimized young, undocumented Latinas. Stockton police detectives had raided the brothel, helping to break up the ring.
She told her story Saturday morning as part of the daylong TORN Conference on human trafficking held at Quail Lakes Baptist Church.
Cicilio made one of seven presentations on the topic.
The day began with a look at how women are portrayed and how sex is used in media advertising. "God sees us every day, and we are not air brushed," said Sue Eikenberry, conference coordinator.
Samantha Dilland, child-abduction coordinator for the Sacramento office of the FBI, said wherever you see prostitution of any kind, you'll find underage victims.
"The Internet has become the primary place where prostitutes and johns connect," Dilland said. "You can go to certain websites where there is free advertising for certain types and looks, including juveniles. They also use every social media out there."
Dilland said her office, which covers Central California from the Oregon border to Bakersfield, had a recent call from Stockton describing how a 35-year-old man had made contact with a 15-year-old girl. "A school-resource officer was suspicious and called Stockton PD and the FBI was brought in," she said. "Girls are commodities for pimps. They are a product."
Dilland told the Quail Lakes crowd of 200 that many of the girls they recover are not even listed as missing by their families who don't want them. "We call them 'throw-away children.' "
Kathleen Serna, youth outreach coordinator for the Women's Center-Youth & Family Services, described three types trafficking: sex, labor and domestic servitude.
She said a 16-year-old girl from Bakersfield recently showed up at her drop-in center. "She was under the influence (of drugs), scared, had met her boyfriend on the Internet, disoriented and didn't know how she had gotten here."
Tori Verber Salazar, a deputy district attorney running to be San Joaquin County's top prosecutor, said children are actually being bred "for the sole purposing of sex trafficking."
"It is frightening," she said. "There are children out there and we don't even know they exist. They sell babies for as little as $250 per child."
She also provided an outline for how children are lured into the sex trade. They are:
� Targeted: On playgrounds, at malls, in parking lots, at school and in churches.
� Courted: Pimps start by building relationships with girls as young as junior high. They buy them nice gifts and make false promises.
� Isolated: They pull them away and brainwash them in a matter of weeks.
� Transitioned: The victims are given tenderness and kindness, followed by threats and abuse.
� Controlled: Unimaginable, romantic worlds are created. Pimps tell girls to do just one thing, and things will be better. They promise nice hotels and fine clothes, but prostitution is "violent, dirty, ugly."
Verber Salazar also described a circuit of trafficking that includes Las Vegas, Bakersfield, Fresno, Stockton and Sacramento.
"Sometimes they move prostitutes so fast we can't catch up to them," she said.
Cicilio would argue that they aren't fast enough to outrun God. She is convinced her prayers made a difference on San Joaquin Street.
She and her husband, David Cicilio, are self-described inner-city missionaries in Stockton. They recently founded an organization known as Restore Stockton.
They arrived four years ago from Santa Barbara.
Recently, as an outreach to their neighborhood kids, the couple has started operating a donated bus to take students to and from school. They call it the Safe Ride Home Program.
"A lot of crazy things have been birthed out of that old quilt."

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) All season long, Matt Shoemaker has been jockeying for a permanent spot in the Los Angeles Angels' rotation after making the opening-day roster as a reliever. After what he's accomplished against some of the top pitchers in the majors, his starting status appears to be secure.
Shoemaker combined with two relievers on a four-hitter, and Efren Navarro connected off Justin Verlander for his first major league homer to help the Angels beat the Detroit Tigers 4-0 Saturday night.
Shoemaker (8-3) threw just 78 pitches through seven innings, allowing three hits and no walks while striking out five against a lineup that came in leading the AL in batting average, hits, on-base percentage and slugging percentage. The only hits off the right-hander were Ian Kinsler's first-inning double and singles by Eugenio Suarez and Austin Jackson.
Verlander (9-9) allowed three runs and six hits in seven innings with four strikeouts and a walk. The 2011 AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner was the latest in a series of All-Stars that Shoemaker has more than held his own against this year - including Cliff Lee, David Price, James Shields, Chris Sale and Yu Darvish. The rookie is 4-0 in those starts with a 2.27 ERA.
''It's definitely a confidence builder. It's a blessing and a lot of fun,'' Shoemaker said. ''But I try not to focus on who the opposing pitcher is - just the hitters that I'm facing.''
Kevin Jepsen pitched a perfect eighth and Jason Grilli got the last three outs. Jepsen has allowed only one earned run over his last 31 2-3 innings and 35 appearances.
The AL Central leaders were shut out for the fifth time this season, and their division lead over Kansas City was reduced to five games.
Tigers manager Brad Ausmus received an automatic ejection from plate umpire Cory Blaser in the third after he came out of the dugout to argue a call at first base that was reversed after a video review.
Navarro found the seats above the 18-foot wall in right-center on a 1-1 pitch from Verlander, who has given up at least one homer in 10 of his last 12 starts. Navarro also singled home the go-ahead run Friday night against Drew Smyly in a 2-1 victory after the Tigers' lefty struck out eight of his first 10 batters and 11 overall.
Navarro's homer came in his 79th big league at-bat. He drove in another run during the Angels' two-run sixth as Albert Pujols scored on the rookie's grounder to shortstop. C.J. Cron followed with a double that scored Howie Kendrick.
''For the most part I was executing OK,'' Verlander said. ''Early on I didn't feel great, but then I kind of started to find my rhythm. The one pitch I regret was hanging a curveball (to Cron), and he was able to hit it down the line. If I had executed better, then it's only a two-run lead and we've got a chance to come back. It's a big difference between two runs and three.''
Angels first-time All-Star Erick Aybar started in the cleanup spot for the first time in his nine-year career, going 2 for 3 with a sacrifice bunt. Left fielder Josh Hamilton sat out because of a sore left knee.
Aybar came in with 51 RBIs, the most among AL shortstops, and was 9 for 27 in his career against Verlander.
''He's a good ballplayer,'' Verlander said. ''He's tough to strike out and he puts the ball in play a lot. He can do the little things - move guys over and put a bunt down when he needs to.''
Nine-time Gold Glove winner Torii Hunter robbed Mike Trout of a hit in the first with a tumbling, shoestring catch in short right field. But Hunter's fielding error in the eighth allowed Aybar to take an extra base on a single, and he scored on Kendrick's double against Joakim Soria - making his Tigers debut following Wednesday night's trade from Texas.
NOTES: Verlander, third on the Tigers' career strikeout list behind Mickey Lolich and Jack Morris, has 28 double-digit strikeout games in his big league career - but none this year in 22 starts. This is the deepest he's gone into a season without one since 2006, his first year as a full-time starter in the majors, when he made 30 starts and had no more than eight Ks in any of them. ... The Angels optioned RHP Fernando Salas to Triple-A Salt Lake and recalled OF J.B. Shuck from their Pacific Coast League club. Shuck last played for the Angels on May 2 before getting sent down. ... Verlander was the second overall selection in the 2004 draft behind San Diego Padres pick Matt Bush, who never played in the big leagues. Three of the top seven selections in that draft have pitched no-hitters, including Homer Bailey (two) and Philip Humber (perfect game).

Top 10 of 11-12: Kihnl earns A-Sun co-Female Athlete of the Year
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Capping off a stellar, award-filled career, Lipscomb softball pitcher Whitney Kihnl finished her career in the "Music City" by taking home Atlantic Sun Conference co-Female Scholar Athlete of the Year announced by the league in June.
The Batesville, Miss., native was joined by Florida Gulf Coast's Courtney Chihil, a basketball standout, in receiving the honor. Kihnl went 22-12 this past spring with a 1.79 ERA and notched 211 strikeouts en route to becoming just the third pitcher in A-Sun history to surpass 1,000 career strikeouts.
Kihnl has been accepted into Harding University's physician's assistant program and will continue her academic career in Searcy, Ark.

Malawi's embattled President Bingu wa Mutharika toured the riot-struck town of Zomba today, as government authorities ordered the army and police to quell riots and patrol the streets in a bid to restore peace.
Ministry of Health and police officials have confirmed 18 deaths, scores of severe injuries, and 250 arrests since protests began on July 20 against high fuel and food prices and against what many Malawians believe is bad governance by the Mutharika administration.
The location of the deaths suggests that protests were widespread – nine deaths in the northern city of Mzuzu, six dead in the capital of Lilongwe, one death in the northern town of Karonga along the Tanzanian border, and two deaths in the commercial hub of Blantyre.
President Mutharika has blamed civil society groups and opposition parties for the violence, saying the protestors were provoked to loot and create chaos. Civil society activists blame the police for provoking the violence, saying they have consistently urged demonstrators to remain peaceful.
At a state function in the southern city of Zomba, while presiding over the commissioning of police officers, President Mutharika warned that he had had enough of unfair criticism and sabotage perpetrated by the opposition and the civil society. Naming key opposition figures such as Vice President Joyce Banda as being behind the violence, Mutharika warned of a harsh government reaction.
"Even God knows that I have been the most patient president on the continent," Mutharika said. "Enough is enough. You wanted to take government by force, which is against the laws of the land. This time I will follow you into your homes. I will smoke you out."
His reactions stand in sharp contrast to the message he delivered to the nation yesterday, when he appealed to the opposition and the civil society to come to a round table to discuss the problems affecting Malawi.
Civil society leaders today say that they will focus on burying the dead before deciding whether to begin dialogue with Mutharika or to continue the protests.
The country's powerful Roman Catholic Church today asked the government to initiate dialogue with the protestors to hear their concerns.
"We pray that the peace and calm that has been characteristic of Malawi as a nation willcontinue to prevail in our country and that we will all avail ourselves, wholeheartedly, as instruments of the same peace," said Roman Catholic Bishop Joseph Zuza.
Human rights groups such as Amnesty International have been critical of the president's handling of the crisis thus far, including the harassment and beating of journalists.
Catherine Ashton, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, issued a statement today, condemning "the use of force and live ammunition by Malawian authorities on 20 and 21 July and to prevent their own citizens from exercising their constitutional right to demonstrate peacefully, as well as the ban imposed on media reporting of the confrontations."
Ashton was also condemned the violence and looting perpetrated by a limited number of individuals during the protests, adding that the Malawian people are guaranteed the right to peaceful association and freedom of expression in their constitution.

Yeah Ai-chan himself confirmed that everyone he fought before Yama was still alive. The only ones whose life is in question are Yama, Hiyori, Urahara, and Yoruichi. And since Isshin got right back up after his bout with Ai-chan, its very likely that Urahara and Yoruichi are still alive. Still keeping my fingers crossed for Hiyori actually being dead though

And if you ask me Aizen is the lucky one here, no matter what people do he doesn't die.

It was 1:2000 if i remember correctly. 1 hour in real world = 2000 hours in dangai.
Actually, we cant say that "little time passed" since Ichigo started his training. i think taking into account Aizen had to make a walk to reach the city (y, he could use flash step all the way, but he didnt look like in a hurry) + events after all that could be around 50 mins - 1h. (y i know it doesnt look like this but Aizen could play his chasing game for quite some time...)

Well that was somewhat meh and oh wow!
1st Gin reasons maybe sweet in way but I was expecting more or more something not like to stop a person's tears
I would have loved if it was like I said before, for s**** and giggles!
My favorite part altho it being oh so cliche in this series, it happens alot, was Ichigo's entrance.
How many times we see character's in this series make their entrance that way(and no not standing there with a person slung over their shoulder but you know what I mean) is uncountable but you know what I'd say works...for the most part.
Also take note it wouldn't be a Bleach entrance without seeing the feet first

-Fun fact about death in Bleach. Unless you are seen disintergrating into dust particles, you are likely going to live. A severed limb and a cut over your chest is nothing more than a flesh-wound. So Gin's most likely going to live. The guy deserves that much since he was able to make Aizen's voice break an octive.

YES! I knew Rangiku was alive.
Gin! Hang in there, buddy! Rangiku looks like she's about to administer CPR!
Seriously, this chapter made Gin both 10 times cuter and 10 times creepier than he already was. Cuter because we're now confirmed that he did ALL THAT for his childhood friend, aww. Creepier because apparently, he was killing Shinigami and bringing back their pelts before he even started school.

Well at least Gin went down like a man. He was staring down Aizen all the while he was getting cut to pieces.
At first I was like Nooooo!
But then I remember what manga I was reading and think Gin will come back to kick Aizen's ass.

rangiku finally runs after gin after so many years of seeing him walk away from her. plus, now we know that he was really doing all his crap in her favor, so that explains it.
also, did anyone see that shinigami golden with kon walking away from that teahouse girl like some stud? it was a take off on guys going to war for the sake of their women...that's all i could think about...

This chapter has seriously increased Gin's chances of survival. Just read it now. What exactly was it that was taken from Rangiku? The Hogyoku? That doesn't make sense.
But I am seriously pissed that Aizen actually has TWO hogyoku. How much fucking hax does this guy need? How can he still not decisively kill a character despite all this fucking hax.
