Rivers State Commissioner for Health Sampson Parker has accused Minister of State for Education Nyesom Wike of having ill-gotten wealth.
Parker made the allegation yesterday in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
He was reacting to Wike's allegation that Governor Rotimi Amaechi mismanaged the N7.5 billion allocated for the construction of the Karibi-Whyte Specialist Hospital, N3 billion meant for the fumigation of Port Harcourt and N3 billion voted for the city's landscaping.
The commissioner said the governor had provided affordable and quality health care for the people and accused Wike, who is believed to be interested in the governorship seat, of fabricating stories to tarnish Amaechi's image.
Parker said the minister, who used to be the governor's chief of staff, lacked the moral right to accuse anyone of corruption.
He accused Wike of owning property, adding that his earnings do not match his assets.
The commissioner said: "Those who aspire to lead should be mindful of their utterances and actions, especially in this season. If by the time this election cycle is over, our people and institutions have been destroyed, who will they govern? I am ready to stake my character, reputation and integrity against Wike's. Let Rivers people and Nigerians judge. Daily, I remind myself of what the good book says: 'Power belongs to God'.
"I know Wike well. We are both products of the Amaechi political family. Wike may be described as a son of perdition, but he was loved by his family. We have entered another political season, but this should not deter us from speaking the truth. The reality is that power belongs to God and He gives it to who He pleases.
"If in the quest for power, we destroy institutions, malign people and fabricate stories, just to score cheap political points, we fool nobody but ourselves. It is like building a structure on quick sand."
Parker described himself as "a man of simple taste, with a manageable family size".
He said he had been practising medicine before he ventured into politics, adding that God has blessed him.
The commissioner said: "I know my history. I have no desire for the primitive acquisition of obscene wealth, as I do not indulge in expensive habits, such as the consumption of drinks that cost hundreds of thousands of naira per bottle. When I travel within and outside Nigeria, I am content to do so in commercial airliners. Yet, I feel no envy or jealousy towards those who, even as serving public officers, travel in private jets at least twice a week. I challenge Wike to make same claims.
"Wike has been in public service all of his adult life. There is no record that he has worked anywhere, either as a lawyer or a businessman. I shall give 50 per cent of my August salary to Wike or anybody who can prove that the minister has travelled to Port Harcourt on a commercial flight more than two times since being sworn in as the minister of state for Education. At least, two stubs of flight tickets or manifest that prove that Wike was a passenger on any commercial airline. Who pays for the chartered flights Wike comes to Port Harcourt on, at least two times a week?"
Parker accused Wike of living in an expensive home in Abuja and drinking exotic wines that cost a fortune.
The commissioner said it was sad that the minister, "who claims to be a lawyer", could not show one brief written by him.
He said Wike's familiarity with court rooms was "as a result of being a plaintiff or defendant" in law suits.
Parker said he was proud to be part of the Amaechi administration since its inception on October 26, 2007, adding: "Karibi-Whyte Hospital is an on-going project with a target completion date. The first contractor was disengaged based on spurious allegations and campaigns of calumny orchestrated by Wike, then the chief of staff, and his cohorts.
"The governor set up an independent panel of enquiry. The panel exonerated me of any wrongdoing and said the state had lost no money on the project. Not satisfied and blinded by his desire to implicate me in some crime, he pressured the security services and Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to arrest and indict me.
"The 1,000-bed mega hospital is not an abandoned project and would be inaugurated before long.
"On the Malaria Elimination Programme, Rivers was the first state to embark on malaria elimination. The governor, after consultations with experts in Nigeria, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) decided that malaria elimination was achievable. Malaria has killed more Africans, especially children, than all the World Wars and inter-tribal wars combined. This noble vision was supported by ECOWAS and some foreign governments.
"We commenced the first trial phase of this programme, which involved the spraying of biolarvicide in select local government areas and towns. This was done in conjunction with the Cuban government. The analysis and the effects of the spraying are known to the people, as the findings were made public. Malaria incident reduced by 63 per cent in the areas we sprayed. In fact, it is the effectiveness and efficacy of our trial that led to the National Council on Health adopting malaria elimination as a national health policy for Nigeria.
"Due to the success of this first phase and the high cost of transporting the biolarvicides, the government, to reduce cost, set up a factory to manufacture this essential substance in our Malaria Elimination Programme. The foundation stone for this factory was laid by ECOWAS President Kadre Desire Quedraogo and President Goodluck Jonathan, who was represented by the Minister for Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, at the proposed site in Rumuosi, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, which is Wike's local government. ECOWAS is a partner in this project."
On completion, Parker said the factory would supply biolarvicides to the country and beyond, adding: "Can Wike claim ignorance of these facts?"

Mitchell J?or£es Paper to the Amount of About $2,500—He Uses the Name of Martin Casey, a Whole-sale Liquor Dealer—In Jail. Fort Worth, July 15.—[Special.]— Deputy Sheriff Joe Witcher this morn-ing arrested Dr. W. Mitchell, pastor of the Broadway Presbyterian church, lor forgery and locked him up. The arrest created almost profound sensation, equalled only by the Pendle-ton affair. Dr. Mitchell's forgery amount to over $2,500 and nearly all of the banks in the city have been victimi-zed. To all the notes he forged, the name of Martin Casey, of the firm of Casey & Swarey, the wholesale liquor dealers on Houston street, one of his best and most intimat e friends. The Broadway Pres-byterian church is one of the most fash-ionable in the city, and Dr. Mitchell lips been its pastor for nearly two years. He had the confidence of his parishoners to a degree seldom seen, and his disgrace is felt as almost a personal one by every member of the large congregation that has worshipped weekly at his church. His fall has been so fearful, his crime so great, that not a few men were un-able to believe the news when it was first known that Dr. Mitchell was under arrest. The forgeries first came to light yes-terday by one of the notes falling due and which was presented to Mr. Casey for payment. That geqtleman was un-able at first to comprehend the meaning of the bank messenger's words when told that the note had been drawn by Dr. Mitchell. Mr. Casey at once pro-nounced the signature a forgery, and an investigation was made which resulted in the following notes being found: Farmers' and Merchants' bank, ,$1000; presented a note to the State National bank signed by himself, with endorse-ment supposed to be the signature of Martin Casey, The note was for $250 and. the bank at once made the loan. On the 12th of this month Mr. Mitfch-ell went to the hank and asked to have the note extended, hut the cashier re-fused to do this until the old note was taken up. Dr. Mitchell went out and very soon returned with $250 in cash and took up the note. The State Na-tional bank did not have any of the forged paper when Dr. Mitchell was ar-rested. J. C. McCarthy, of the City-National bank, is the largest loser by the forgery, who more than anyone else detected the extensive forgeries of Mitchell. Yesterday Mitchell went into the City National and asked to have extended a note he had in the bank for $250. Mr. McCarthy told him he could not extend the note and Mitchell asked him if he would make him a loan of $500 with Mr. Casey as security. Mr. McCarthy told him he would negotiate the loan and wrote out the note which Mitchell took across the street ostensibly to get the signature of Mr. Casey. In abont five minutes he returned with the name of Mr. Casey signed to the note in a neculiar colored ink which Mr. Casey always uses. The signature looked genuine and Mr. McCarthy paid Mitchell $225 in cash and gave him the old note of $250, leaving a credit of $25 on his account. In about an hour Mr. McCarthy saw Mr. Casey and asked him why he en-dorsed for Mitchell to such an extent. Mr. Casey said he had not endorsed for Mitchell and the note was pronounced a forgery as soon as it was seen by Mr. Casey. Dr. Mitchell had nothing to say when Mr. McCarthy went out to his house last night and refuses to make a statement as to what he did with the money he obtained on the forged paper. No one has been found who has an idea of what Dr. Mitchell has done Jwith the money and it is the general impres-sion that "there is much more at the hot-tom of the affair than is now known. Mr. Mitchell's line of defense will probably be the plea of insanity. It is known, that he has been in two differ-ent asylums, and but a short time before coming to Fort Worth he was released from his second treatment for mental abheration. His bond was fixed $4,000, which he was unable to give, and he is now - in jail. LUCKY WACO. CHOLERA IN SPAIN. IT IS IN CUE AS ING WITH ALARMING RAPIDITY. In Two Months 445 Cases Have Been He-ported— Stealing Stanley's Spoons—Im-proved Financial Situation in Montevideo—Other Foreign News. London, July 15.—A Madrid corre-spondent says cholera is spreading to more towns in the province of Valencia. There were thirty-five new cases and ten deaths reported yesterday, one death occurring in the city of Valencia. The authorities at Castello de ltugal con-cealed the fact that the disease raged there for a fortnight. It has been learned that fifty cases occurred at that place, seventeen of which were fatal. A suspicious case has been received at the general hospital in Madrid. The authorit-es of Valencia refused to admit to that port an American steamer which had on board a seaman who died of yellow fever. THE NUMBER OF CHOLERA CASES. Madrid, July 14.—The Gazette says that in the last two months there have been 445 cases of cholera in Spain and of these 251 have been fatal. UR AG U AY. SATISFIES THE COMMERCIAL COMMUNITY. Buenos Ayres, July 15.—The new board of the national bank satisfies the commercial community of Montevideo. In view of the improved situation they have abandoned their intention to renew the convention of 1875, binding them-selves to receive only gold. BRAZIL. DECORATIONS AND FIREWORKS. Rio de Janeiro, July 15.—Yesterday was a national fete day in Brazil. The streets of this city were decorated and at night there was a display of fireworks and the city illuminated, ENGLAND, AMERICA LOSES A ROMANTIC PERSONA LIT V Traders' National bank, $500; First Na-tional bank, $250; City National bank, $500; Merchants' National bank, $250. Some of the notes were made three and four months ago and during this time not one of the banks suspected they were anything but genuine paper. Mr. Casey's name had been cleverly counterfeited, and not one of the banks refused to negotiate a loan with Dr. Mitchell when he presented the notes signed as they were. This can be easily understood when it is stated that the forgery was exceedingly good, and also when it is remembered that Dr. Mitchell had the confidence of the financially well-to-do people of the city. Immediately upon the discovery of the forgery the City National and the Mer-chants' National banks went to Dr. Mitchell with the evidence of his crime and he turned over to the officers moneys and chattel mortgages valued at $600 The claims of these hanks amounted to $750. It is not believed the other banks will be able to recover anything. As the news of the forgery was spread-ing about the city last night, steps were taken to place Dr. Mitchell under arrest. It was found he had purchased a ticket for Denver, over the Fort Worth and Denver City railway and had procured a berth in the sleeper. An officer was de-tailed to watch all outgoing trains, but Dr. Mitchell did not attempt to leave the city last night or this morning. When Deputy Sheriff Witcher went to the union depot this morning he learned that Dr. Mitchell had countermanded the order he had given for a hack to call at his house and also for an express wagon. The deputy sheriff at once procured a horse and went out to Dr. Mitchell's house on the South Side and placed him under arrest. When the deputy made known the ob-ject of his visit Dr. Mitchell remarked that it was all right and he would be ready to go with the officer in a few mo-ments. Dr. Mitchell was taken to the president's office in the Merchants' Na-tional hank. A meeting of the officers of the vie-timized banks had just been held when The Day reporter entered, at which it was decided that no steps should be taken by the banks to protect the late, reverend gentleman and the law should take its due course. Dr. Mitchell did not have much to say and when he was told the newspa-pers would probably publish the fact that he had been arrested for forgery he expressed the regret that he could not suppress them all. "I do not care for myself" he said "its only for the sake of my wife and family." "What statements of this trouble have you to make?" Dr. Mitchell's eyes rolled in their sockets. He moved his head nervously as the words fell upon his ears. "I have no statement to make," he replied. "But are there not extennatinz circum-stances which you wish to give to the public?" "I have told my friends everything. I have no other statement to make." Dr. Mitchell is a fine appearing man and as he sat in the office of the bank this moining, surrounded by his victims he appeared at ease and no statement, no matter how damaging to his charac-ter, seemed to flustrate him in the On the 27th of March last Dr. Mitchell Another Prize in the Louisiana Lottery Falls to the Central City.

They are this afternoon considering the strike question in executive session. It is practically sure a strike will be or-dered. IRON WORKERS STRIKE. Trenton, N.J , July 15.—Five hun-dred workers at the New Jersey Steel and Iron company's works here refused to go to work this morning. This is a mill principally owned by A. S. Hewitt of New York, who is traveling in Europe for his health.* The strike is the result of a refusal to sign the scale of the Amalgamated Society of Iron and S.teel workers, which has been quietly organ-ized by the workers for some time past.

The temporary chairman assumed the duty and committees on permanent or-ganization, credentials and resolutions were appointed. Hon. Jas. D. Richardson, member of congress from the Fifth district, will be permanent chairman. The organization will be controlled entirely by the Wheelers and there will likely be no trouble over the platform.

London, July 15.—The Standard says : The death of General Fremont deprives America of a romantic personality, which it can ill-afford to lose in these pro-saic times. His name will live in his-tory.

London, July 15.—The cession of Heligoland to Germany has, it seems, sharpened the appetite of the other powers for the acquisition of outlying islands. Very few people ever hoard of Worm's island in the Baltic, which has belonged for many generations to the barons of Stockelberg. Russia has long wished to form a coaling station there, but its owner refused the offer of £1,000,- 000 sterling. Its present proprietor has just parted with it to the Czar for a little over 1,000,000 francs. A NOVEMBER SITTING OF PARLIAMENT. London, July 15.—The government has decided to adhere to the proposal for a November sitting of parliament. The date of the meeting will probaaly be November 25. Mr. Gladstone is better.

While there she stole several sil-ver spoons from the room in which the wedding gifts were displayed. She was seen by a detective who was on duty in the room and was arrested. This morn-ing she was arraigned, found guilty and sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment. GERMANY. WILL NOT SHORTEN HIS TOUR. Berlin, July 15.—The North German Gazette denies the report that Chan-cellor Von Caprivi has advised Emperor William to shorten his tour on the Nor-wegian waters, owing to the political de-velopments. The programme of his / majesty's trip, The Gazette says, has been only slightly modified, owing to the weather. PERU.

Public Face Private Vice
This time Charlie Smith has the death of a BBC TV presenter to investigate.
But there is a problem. Gerald Parkin had made so many enemies with his somewhat unfortunate and aggressive attitude toward anyone who he viewed as an inferior (which would be pretty much everyone he encountered during his personal and professional life) that finding the killer could prove to be more than a little problematic.
And why is it that wherever Smith looks he seems to spot people who have something that they would rather keep hidden?
Smith and his team penetrate the very heart of the BBC in their attempts to track down whoever was responsible for the bludgeoning death of Parkin within his own -locked- Docklands pad.
Smith begins to suspect that the killer is always just one step ahead of himself and his team. But how can this be?
And what, exactly, had the incredibly odious Parkin actually been up to?
From where had his killer emerged? From his professional life or his personal life?
And what was the actual motive behind Parkin's murder?
Discover that and discover the killer! But can Smith work out what the motive was? Can he then deduce who the killer was?
This is an intriguing mystery novel and will make a welcome present for any crime fiction buff, and as it is only £11.99 for this Matador book of 524 pages, it's certainly gonig to be flying from the shelves of the That's Books and Entertainment bookshop, available on the righthand side of this website.

Newcastle started the season with only three points in the first eight games and then we seemed to recover with 13 points and four wins from the next 8 games as we ended that good run by beating Liverpool and Tottenham in successive games.
But since then we have been on another disastrous run of four games this time – against Aston Villa, Everton, West Brom and Arsenal and lost the last three games 1-0 and only drew 1-1 at home to bottom of the league club Aston Villa.
So it´s one point from the last 12 and we are now 2 points above Sunderland and second bottom place in the league.
That´s more relegation form right there – although we did play very well at Arsenal but we always play well against the big clubs.
Steve McClaren at the Emirates yesterday
But we missed chances yesterday and could even have won the game at the Emirates if we had a decent experienced striker in our ranks.
That caused reporters after the game to ask if QPR striker Charlie Austin was a target of Newcastle´s this month.
This is how Steve McClaren responded to that question:
"I can't mention names." "We are talking very privately and we are not discussing anything about January, any targets."
"We know what we need and we know what we are doing behind the scenes. I just say we'll keep that private until such time that something happens."
"Believe you me, we are working tirelessly behind the scenes to correct things and move on and get results."
There are reports today that Crystal Palace have moved ahead of Newcastle and are now favorites to sign Austin this month.
Comments welcome.

Accused Of Bid Rigging At Northern California Foreclosure Sales, Trio Nix Plea Offers, Roll Dice By Going To Trial & Lose; Antitrust Feds' Hit List Now Up To 68 Guilty Real Estate Operators With Indictments Still Pending Against Others
- A federal jury today [June 2] convicted three real estate investors for their roles in a conspiracy to rig bids at public real estate foreclosure auctions held in Northern California, the Department of Justice announced.
After a three-week trial, the jury convicted Michael Marr, Javier Sanchez, and Gregory Casorso, on all counts. Marr, Sanchez, and Casorso were convicted for conspiring to rig bids at foreclosure auctions in Alameda County, California, between June 2008 and January 2011. Marr and Sanchez were also convicted on charges of conspiring to rig bids at foreclosure auctions in Contra Costa County, California between July 2008 and January 2011. The three defendants were charged in an indictment returned by a federal grand jury in the Northern District of California on Nov. 19, 2014.
The evidence at trial showed that the defendants conspired with others to rig bids to obtain hundreds of properties sold at foreclosure auctions. The conspirators designated the winning bidders to obtain selected properties at the public auctions, and negotiated payoffs among themselves in return for not competing. They then held second, private auctions at or near the courthouse steps where the public auctions were held, awarding the properties to conspirators who submitted the highest bids.
Including today's convictions, 68 individuals have pleaded guilty or been convicted after trial as a result of the department's ongoing antitrust investigations into bid rigging at public foreclosure auctions in Northern California. Indictments are pending against other real estate investors who participated in the conspiracy.
The investigation is being conducted by the Antitrust Division's San Francisco Office and the FBI's San Francisco Office. Anyone with information concerning bid rigging at real estate foreclosure auctions should contact the Antitrust Division's San Francisco Office at 415-934-5300 or call the FBI tip line at 415-553-7400.

Well it's been a while since I last posted here, but decided that I should do a comeback so here I am. Now, people who have read my previous posts have mentioned that I'm sort of too benevolent wit some of my critiques. Me, I like to point out the good stuff about all movies I see, even if the bad stuff outnumbers the virtues. This approach however becomes impossible when you run across a movie so bad you simply don't care mch for it. Last year it was Boogeyman. This year, the first movie I caught turned out to be a bad start. I'm talking about Doom.
I'm pretty sure fans of the videogame have waited years for a movie to be released. I don't consider myself a die hard videogame fan but I do like to get into a FPS every now and then. However, from my experience, movies based on games have never been succesful, bringing results such as House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark (I must say I haven't seen them but I've heard from videogame fans all around that they are awful), Alien vs. Predator and yes, even lighter games like the terrible Super Mario Bros. movie back in the 90s. Maybe the one with a better outcome was Resident Evil, though it's fans who have the last word.
In Doom, we have an elite commando team lead by Sarge (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) that must go to Mars through a portal on Earth called "The Arch". His mission is to secure a research facility after news of an attack. Upon their arrival they learn from doctor Grimm (Rosamund Pike from Die Another Day) that six scientists are unaccounted for. Of course the team is eventually hunted down by mutant creatures with a taste for maiming and evisceration. Not only that but anyone who was killed by one of these is then infected and comes back from the dead as a hideous monster... unless they were a sweetie when they were alive, because all non-meanspirited people don't turn to monsters when infected but gain superpowers. Sort of a bad breed between a vampire movie and an aliens movie. Soon enough, Sarge starts showing a darker side and it's up to Reaper (Karl Urban for The Chronicles of Riddick), who is also Dr. Grimm's brother, to save the day, but not of course not before finding out what The Rock is cooking.
Directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak (Exit Wounds), the problem with Doom is that it's terribly BORING, especially during the first hour where pretty much nothing happens. Remember when you start a new videogame and you walk around for a very long while and you find nothing and you get really frustrated? This is the same thing. The problem is the movie never gets any better. The creatures are just these humanoid hulky messes that always appear in shadows, we never get a clear view of them. Many times the camera movements are so fast that we can't make much sense of what's going on. And then there are the deaths. They are gruesome, they are plenty. But the movie is so unappealing and flat that we don't really care. At one point you simply lose track of who's dead or not and this is mainly because none of these characters have any depth. The only exception is Reaper who has a haunted face and a past, therefore he must be the hero.
On the last third of the movie we have a sequence where we enter the FPS (first person shooter) point of view. And yes, we are suddenly watching Doom! Yes, this is just like the videogame! Yes, fans of the game are clappign and cheering! And it does work but only for about a minute after which it just becomes weird and you are suddenly watching a trailer for the game in the big screen. While when playing you never know if you are going to be killed the next second, here you just sit and watch CGI monsters get blown to smitherens. That is the biggest problem with this movie. There is no suspense whatsoever.
The only part of the movie which actually stirs some interest takes place when we realize that Sarge is not the good guy since he kills an innocent guy. Thus, he must be a mean guy! Any ideas what might happen next? The moment of interest then fades again and we are left waiting for The Rock's next appearance, because, this is Rock after all so you bet there will be some wrestling.
Nothing against Johnson really, who has lately been seen in movies where although playing the tough guy, he's been in more humorous situations such as The Rundown or Be Cool. The trouble with Doom goes beyond The Rock or the characters. It is about a boring script taken to the screen with lighting that doesn't work, action sequences that don't generate any emotion, a plot that glues things together as effectively as a paper clip, and in general, a formula that has been worn down by previous movies that didn't work either.
My advise, stick to your joystick.

At the check-out they were saying
that the price of goods was related
to what's being charged for those
who may have arrived late
or early – depending on how you look at it.
'Foreign' hangs over a day-to-day scene
like cumulo-nimbus, like a definition
not yet reached by lexicographers.
All that's good about England
is reduced to everything
that's not shouted at a till.
It's not much, but I'm sure
that you'll tell me
that what I've said so far
is counter-productive.
I'm trying my best –
and watching people
hand over cash, take home
these gallons of milk,

installed a brand new switch
Well I've done it all. Even installed a brand new switch. It worked perfect the first 3 times. The Blankety Blank thing is at it again. We paid 42.00 dollars for a new switch. Now it is doing the same thing. Sometimes I wish we never had to depend on modern convenience then we would not know what we are missing when it all of a sudden won't work. If anyone has an idea let me know?
Is this a good question?
My honey checked all the connections at the control panel. Found 1 of them a little loose but pulled each one off and put it back on. It has not quit yet. Gone through at least 8 loads now.

At least 24 people have been killed in Malaysia and Thailand in the worst flooding the region has seen for more than a decade.
Ten people lost their lives in northern Malaysia, where nearly 160,000 people have been forced from their homes. Rising flood water has made some roads impassable, hampering rescue efforts.
Relief goods have been flown in to help people stranded due to the torrential north-east monsoon rains, with more heavy rainfall predicted.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak toured some of the worst-hit areas over the weekend, following his return from a holiday in Hawaii.
The Prime Minister was criticised for his absence during the calamity, being photographed playing golf with US President Barack Obama.
Over the border in southern Thailand, 14 people have been killed in the floods that began in mid-December.
Northeastern Malaysia and southern Thailand are regularly hit by flooding during the annual northeast monsoon, but this year the rain has been particularly heavy.
The Malaysian government said rain in Kelantan and southern Thailand would last for at least another week. An official in the southern Thai border town of Sungai Kolok said it would take up to two days for water levels to drop and for the border to be reopened.

With the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang less than a month away, South Korea continues to offer olive branches to their northern neighbors. Reuters reported on Friday that South Korea has offered to combine their women's ice hockey team with North Korea's team, with the team competing jointly.
This offer comes on the heels of a landmark deal between the warring nations that allows North Korea to send a delegation of athletes, fans, and high-ranking government officials to the South for the upcoming Olympics in Pyeongchang. The deal marks the first time that athletes from the North will compete in a South Korean Olympics, as North Korea boycotted the 1988 Olympics in Seoul.
[Stream the NFL Playoffs live on the Yahoo Sports mobile app]
North Korea has yet to comment on the South's offer, which is in the spirit of the original deal and even goes beyond it. The International Olympic Committee is expected to extend several "wild card" spots to North Korean athletes so they can compete at the Olympics without qualifying, but it's not known if that would apply to individual athletes or an entire team. Joining teams would make that issue moot and allow even more North Korean athletes to compete.
The women's ice hockey teams in the North and South aren't unfamiliar with each other. In April 2017, South Korea allowed the North Korean team to travel to the South for the Women's World Championships in ice hockey. The two teams even played each other, with the South defeating the North 3-0 in division play.
The South has also offered to combine with the North for the opening and closing ceremonies, with the two countries marching together under a unified flag. The North has yet to respond to that offer as well.

Dentist Attacked for Charging Too Little
- Posted on: Apr 21 2015
The price of dental work can be expensive and not everyone has dental insurance or the means to afford dental care. There are many programs available to assist individuals and families in getting the dental care they need and deserve and many dentists are willing to set up payment plans and make other arrangements to help as well.
In Arkansas, a dentist who is also a licensed orthodontist recently got in trouble with the law when he started offering low-cost teeth cleanings. Dr. Ben Burris was offering teeth cleaning services to adults for $99 and children for $69. When the state board of dentistry found out about these low-cost services, they threatened to revoke his license if he didn't stop them.
The problem wasn't his low prices, but the fact that Arkansas law prohibits orthodontists from providing services outside of their specialty, even if they are licensed for them. Dr. Burris had no choice but to stop his low-cost teeth cleanings. Dr. Burris isn't finished though. He and a colleague filed a lawsuit to defend their rights to practice general dentistry, which they are both license to perform. If they win, more orthodontists may offer the same services at lower prices, making dental work more affordable for everyone.

ZEX™ LS Perimeter Plate Nitrous System For The 2012 Chevy Camaro
Memphis, TN - ZEX™ has designed a new version of the advanced LS Series Perimeter Plate Nitrous System to work seamlessly with the 2012 Camaro.
The complete, race-ready ZEX™ LS Series Perimeter Plate Nitrous System for the 2012 Chevy Camaro uses three cutting-edge technologies to provide optimum spray efficiency and fuel distribution in the newest Camaro model. These new kits use Perimeter Injection™ Technology utilizing 12 injection points to create a 360-degree, perfectly atomized blend of fuel and nitrous that generates maximum power without sacrificing engine safety. Cryo-Sync™ Technology routes the nitrous through a set of internal passages before spraying in the engine to allow the nitrous to drop to -127°F, which cools the throttle body and intake manifold. Airflow Enhancement™ Technology injects nitrous at an optimized angle, toward the center of the intake plenum to create a pocket of intense low pressure below the throttle body while the nitrous is sprayed. The low pressure area enhances airflow into your engine to improve power. These three advanced technologies maximize boost potential while maintaining the safety of your Camaro's engine. Adjustable from 100-250 horsepower, the system provides optimum spray efficiency and fuel distribution.
About ZEX™
Founded in 1998, ZEX™ designs and manufactures truly superior bolt-on nitrous systems and related components for easy installation and optimized performance. As a member of the COMP Performance Group™, we provide the ideal nitrous solution for any application. Our patented technological developments now enable safer, more efficient nitrous injection for increased horsepower gains without sacrificing engine safety.

text: This one, this Gandalf to my Frodo, laughingly derided himself for eschewing ritual in true independentfundamentalbabtist form then practicing it in his prayer life. He prayed in the same order every day (me first of course :) and felt that God was having a laugh at his expense. Perhaps He was; no He definitely was. I began to think about rituals, for I too had written them off as bad in theory while practicing them every day. I realized that it is the rituals that save us, or at least me, when we cannot save ourselves. The Protestants, always doing what their name says, left ritual behind because it had become empty and formulaic--devoid of the meaning they so desperately sought in their lives. Then a splinter group protested against the rituals the Protestants had developed and formed their own club, again seeking meaning. But they too, fell into the trap of rituals, for is it not a ritual to have the same order of service every Sunday, to have the same schedule every week, to be expected to wear the same thing as everyone else? Rituals, all (and less meaningful than the original ones). Admit it. If you won't, I will. So I found a church that revisits the rituals: the Lord's Supper, Advent, Lent. They are rich with meaning if we seek the substance within the form. If we allow our hearts to be quickened by what they represent. I have picked up the baby that someone threw out with the bathwater and found it to be beautiful. And then there are times when our hearts (my heart) cannot attain to the level of pure worship, and we fall back on ritual. It can become a barrier to knowing God, but it can also be the vehicle that propels us toward Him until we have the strength to rise and speak our hallelujahs. Each day I perform a ritual. Only God and I know about it. It is an act of obedience to Him that has long since become ritual alone. The substance beneath the symbolism is dead and my heart with it, but I do it in hopes that God will restore not only my heart but the worship behind the ritual. In due time; in His time. I know it is the ritual that saves me because it calls me back to what is true, what is right, what is lovely. Had I no ritual, I would have no reminder to walk in faith as Abraham did. I would gradually slip away into the sea of despair. It is my little practice that moors me with the anchor of faith that God will reappear. I do it for Him whether I feel like it or not and know that He hears the deepest part of me worshipping. Worshipping with a ritual.

Love the brooch (nifty idea!) and since I am partial to...red shoes...Good for you! Just the ticket for feeling good!
All the best,
Love the brooch and those wedges, oh my they are delicious! I have the red salties too and they are my absolute faves, nothing better for a good perk up than some eye popping colour on ones feet. Good to see you have had some sunshine and that you at least kept afloat to hold the bucket for everyone else! mel xReplyDelete

Oh no the dreaded bug. We have had it here too. Grandsons had a taste but Mr Winnibriggs was bowled over for five long days! Hope you are all well now and glad you enjoyed our small window of sunshine as I expect like us it's back to grey and dismal now. Love love the shoes. Especially the green Fly. Now I have both shoe and fabric envy!ReplyDelete
Glad to hear you are all feeling better. Nothing worse than sickness bugs!ReplyDelete
Sounds like Monday was a wonderful day. Sunshine, sitting on the grass and new shoes. Then a vintage fair to scout around and old books! A wonderful day indeed. Hope you caught your early train. Sounds like another adventure is in the offing.

I love your corsage Lisa, you are too clever indeed. I'm like you, prefer to be comfy in laid back jeans and layers of pretty fabrics, cardy's etc. I love going to weddings but never feel comfortable getting too dressed up :o)ReplyDelete
So sorry to hear about the nasty bugs and hope that you can enjoy the rest of half term together. I have a few pairs of "Fly" shoes too, so comfy. I tend to buy Birkenstock sandals and clogs but I have had my eye on a pair of those salt water one's, the red ones in fact! Hope you had a fab jolly up to Cambridge xxx Penny
Mmm just catching up on your news and pics. Lovely outfit and stunning shoes. I'm a bit of a clumper when it comes to shoes - not much good with dainty stuff. Yours are lovely. My eldest at 12 has now just about caught me up and I've a feeling I'll be wearing her cast offs soon.ReplyDelete
Hope you're all fully recovered and ready term!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment. I read all of them and really appreciate you taking the time to say hello.
I always try to get back and reply, but sometimes this may take a bit longer as pets and children always seem to need attention around here.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — U.S. producer prices rose in October at a pace slower than economists had anticipated as prices for cars and trucks declined, according to government data released Tuesday.
Overall, producer prices increased, up a seasonally adjusted 0.4% as energy prices rose, the Labor Department reported.
Prices for finished energy goods rose 3.7% — the largest gain since January — as gasoline increased 9.8%. Meanwhile, food prices fell 0.1% last month as the government's index for fresh and dry vegetables declined 8.1%.
The Federal Reserve, hoping to underpin a faltering U.S. recovery, has been concerned about persistently low inflation rates, and data on U.S. consumer prices for October, due out Wednesday, will shed further light on this. Analysts expect an overall gain of 0.3% and a 0.1% increase in core consumer prices, which exclude volatile food and energy inputs.
U.S. financial markets played defense Tuesday, although investors focused more on developments in Ireland and China than put a great deal of stock in the data on producer prices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.38% at one point sank back below the 11,000 mark, as stocks sustained a broad selloff. See more on Tuesday markets.
Following 11 consecutive months of gains, core producer prices fell 0.6% — the largest since July 2006 — on lower prices for light motor trucks and passenger cars during October.
Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had been looking for overall producer prices to rise 0.7% on the month and for the core PPI rate to tick 0.1% higher.
Over 12 months, producer prices are 4.3% higher, while the core is up 1.5%.
With seasonal adjustment, prices for light motor trucks fell 4.3%, the largest drop since October 2006, and prices for passenger cars fell 3%, the largest drop since July 2006.
Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, says he expects a rebound in prices and a drop in sales.
"So now we know why auto sales were so strong last month; the manufacturers were giving them away. Such deep discounting cannot last long," Shepherdson wrote in a research note.
Analysts at UBS had expected motor-vehicle prices to be "a potential source of volatility."
"October was the start of the new model year, and the seasonal adjustment process is especially challenging," the UBS analysts wrote in a research note prior to the data's release.
According to government data on quality changes for domestically produced passenger cars for the 2011 model year, manufacturers spent an average of $100.80 more than last year to improve vehicles. But they only increased their invoice prices by $7.57. Producers did not raise invoice prices by as much as they spent on improving the quality of their cars.
On the retail side, the equivalent value of quality changes for passenger cars averaged $110.79, while manufacturers' suggested list prices increased $5.97.
For light trucks, manufacturers spent an average of $391.85 more than last year to improve vehicles. They increased their invoice prices by $531.33, more than they spent on improving quality.
On the retail side, the average manufacturers' suggested list prices rose $460.98, while the retail equivalent value of quality changes averaged $423.20.
Pipeline pressures
The government also reported that prices for intermediate goods rose 1.2% in October, while prices for crude goods gained 4.3%. Over 12 months, prices for intermediate goods were up 6.4%, while prices for crude goods were up 17%.
"All in all, despite the distortions in the vehicle components, today's report is consistent with gradually building pipeline price pressures across most consumer-related sectors, supporting our view that the risk of deflation in consumer prices has eased," according to a research note from Barclays Capital.
At Morgan Stanley, analysts wrote that pipeline pressures "continued to intensify" and that there could be "some degree of pass through of these cost pressures into final goods prices."
Crude goods have not been manufactured or fabricated. Raw cotton and iron scrap are examples of crude goods.
An intermediate good can require additional processing or be ready for purchase. Examples of intermediate goods are diesel fuel and paper boxes.

|Not Marie Harf's official photo (but, damn)
Here's an example of why I miss her in the Spokesperson job, the September 17 daily press briefing in which the new Spokesman/person got this snarky question about our Syria program:
QUESTION: So, much has been covered. So let me ask you about the substance of the train and equip program [for Syrian rebels]. When it was launched, it aimed to train 15,000 people. Here we are months later, many months later, and you only have a handful of trained personnel. Would you say that this program has proven to be an abysmal failure and perhaps it is time to move on to something else?
QUESTION: Please use the words "abysmal failure" in your answer.
Marie would have hit that one out of the park. Oh, sure, the ex-Admiral who took her place competently defused the question by boring everybody with a long answer about the three original goals of the program, blah, blah, blah. But that's merely answering the question. Marie would have made news herself with that question, which is what I want to see in a Spokesperson.
By the way, the following day's New York Times article with a Washington dateline did indeed use the words "abysmal failure":
WASHINGTON — By any measure, President Obama's effort to train a Syrian opposition army to fight the Islamic State on the ground has been an abysmal failure. The military acknowledged this week that just four or five American-trained fighters are actually fighting.
But the White House says it is not to blame. The finger, it says, should be pointed not at Mr. Obama but at those who pressed him to attempt training Syrian rebels in the first place — a group that, in addition to congressional Republicans, happened to include former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
You will perhaps not be surprised that the White House spokesman said President Obama is not to blame for President Obama's failed effort in Syria.
Here's a thought: if State isn't going to use Marie for press briefings anymore, can't it please lend her to the White House to raise the level of Spokespersonery over there?

From The Verge:
A committee of UK lawmakers this week said that Facebook, Google, and Twitter are "consciously failing" to combat terrorist propaganda and recruitment on their platforms, escalating an ongoing debate over the role of social media companies in curtailing online extremism. In a wide-ranging report on radicalization published Thursday, the UK Parliament's Home Affairs Committee said that social media platforms have become "the vehicle of choice in spreading propaganda and the recruiting platforms for terrorism." The Wall Street Journal first reported on the committee's findings on Wednesday.
Lawmakers in the US and Europe have called on social media companies to crack down on propaganda spread by ISIS and other extremist groups, following a spate of recent attacks. The Obama administration has been working with tech companies to create counter-messaging campaigns, and some social networks have publicly touted an increase in suspended accounts linked to extremist groups. But some rights groups have said that the crackdown could curtail free speech, expressing concerns over governments delegating too much power to private tech firms.
"a drop in the ocean."
This week's parliamentary report comes after Twitter announced that it has suspended 235,000 terrorist-linked accounts since February, and 360,000 accounts since mid-2015. The report also notes that in 2014, Google removed more than 14 million videos related to a wide range of abuses, but the committee claims that these efforts still amount to "a drop in the ocean."
"Huge corporations like Google, Facebook and Twitter, with their billion dollar incomes, are consciously failing to tackle this threat and passing the buck by hiding behind their supranational legal status, despite knowing that their sites are being used by the instigators of terror," said Keith Vaz, chair of the Home Affairs Committee, in a statement.
The report was based on testimony gathered from intelligence officers, Muslim community organizations, …

Gov. Brian Sandoval of Nevada vetoed a bill aimed at making voting easier—the second voting reform Sandoval has rejected in recent months.
And in explaining the move, Sandoval falsely said his state has a high voting rate.
Late last month, Sandoval known as a relative GOP moderate, vetoed a bill passed by the Democratic-controlled legislature that would have made a number of changes to increase access to the polls.
The measure would have created voting centers where any voter can cast a ballot, rather than having to vote only in their own precinct. It also would have allowed local election officials to expand voting hours if needed, and to establish Sunday voting. And it would have required that ballots be printed in Mandarin and Cantonese to accommodate the state's more than 30,000 Chinese-Americans, and would have provided more polling places on Indian reservations.
During early voting, Nevadans can vote at any polling site, but on election day they're limited to their precinct. Assembly Speaker Jason Frierson, the bill's sponsor, said the move to vote centers can help reduce confusion.
Announcing his veto, Sandoval called Nevada's voting system "one of the most open and accessible" in the country. He added: "Given Nevada's high rate of eligible-voter participation, there is no reason to believe that voters who want to vote do not have the opportunity to do so."
In fact, according to the best information currently available, just 57.3 percent of eligible Nevada voters cast a ballot in the last presidential election. That's below the national rate of 59.3 percent, and puts Nevada 37th among states.
A spokeswoman for Sandoval didn't immediately respond to a request for comment about the discrepancy.
Voting didn't go perfectly smoothly in Nevada last fall. A polling site in a Hispanic neighborhood of Las Vegas was kept open late on the final day of early voting to accommodate everyone who was in line at the official 7pm closing time. That was proper, but it led to a lawsuit by the Trump campaign, which claimed voters who weren't in line at 7pm were allowed to vote. The suit was rejected.
In March, Sandoval vetoed a bill that would have established automatic voter registration, which would have allowed voters to be added to the rolls whenever they come into contact with the DMV.

Last night our whole family dined with a lovely couple whom Phil has been meeting with weekly since our stay. Though their children are grown they had a box of duplo and other blocks that occupied all four children for duration of the evening. They loaned us a handsome toboggan-for-one on sleek steel runners. Today after school Max was pulled home on the toboggan over the icy, unplowed streets. This sled may see a lot of usage for our last 10 days here.

There is a scholarship for students who wear outfits made of duct tape to their proms. David Letterman offers a scholarship for kids with average grades. There are scholarships for students who vote Democrat - or Republican - scholarships for students who have cancer, diabetes, sickle cell, autism or Tourette's, students named Zolp, students who are blind, deaf, vegan, Arizonan, left handed, low income, African-, Hispanic-, Native-, Asian- or woman-American.
So it's hard to get worked up over a new scholarship for students who are white men.
It is offered by the Texas-based Former Majority Association for Equality, which would want you to know that it is not motivated by racism. Indeed, its mission statement reads in part: "We do not advocate white supremacy, nor do we enable any individual that does. We do not accept donations from organizations affiliated with any sort of white supremacy or hate group. We have no hidden agenda to promote racial bigotry or segregation."

Here are five things to know for the series finale. Taylor has done very well in spring training but has not been able to translate that into the season, and he has been given few opportunities of late. And even if it is April, that's the way that game is played. His five walks, including four vs. the Mets last time out, are a little off for the righty. The 23-year-old right-hander allowed four walks, three hits and three runs.
Phillies: With RHP Clay Buchholz sidelined with a partial tear of his right flexor pronator mass, Mackanin said the team's four other starters will remain on schedule. He faced the Nationals twice in 2016. Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera grounded out softly to first, allowing Altherr to get to third.
Jeremy Hellickson had no physical reminders of how he finished last Sunday, when an apparent case of dehydration literally caused the fingers on his throwing hand to curl up, and thereby limiting what had been a superb outing to only five innings.
As a team, the Nationals haven't hit Eickhoff well.
Joaquin Benoit blew the save, giving up a three-run shot to Bryce Harper (who else?).
Bryce Harper's walk off was an absolute bomb... His ERA has gotten worse every season since his career-best in 2012. The Nationals, who looked destined for a loss and a.500 record, suddenly had a 6-4 win and a 7-5 record before what promises to be one of the more grueling road trips any of them have experienced.
But he's off to a fantastic start this season. Jerad Eickhoff gets the ball, and he is 0-1 with a 1.98 ERA and 13 strikeouts this season. Talk about production. Gonzalez has still allowed plenty of hits (13) but just two walks.
Mariners 8, Rangers 7: Nelson Cruz singled in the tiebreaking run to cap a two-run, ninth-inning rally, and Seattle overcame a 6-1 deficit to complete a three-game sweep.
Leury Garcia doubled off Ryan Pressly (0-2) leading off the 10th and advanced on Tyler Saladino's sacrifice. Harper has hit 18 of his 125 big league homers against the Phillies. And what the Phils are missing on multiple levels. Ruf was 11 for 31 with three home runs, three doubles and eight walks off Gonzalez, tormenting him while in a Phillies uniform.
LF Chris Heisey hit a solo homer in the seventh to tie the game at 2 on Saturday.
Taillon has given up three runs in 20 innings. He improved to 2-1 with a 1.86 ERA this year. He has made 44 starts for the Phillies and the team has averaged just 3.79 runs while he's been in the game.
However, when you add context, the Phillies' pen seems a lot more reliable.
But Jayson Werth committed a fielding error in the eighth, which aided the Phillies as they scored two runs on three hits. Nevertheless, it likely wouldn't have done much else to help the Nationals. This is all to say, the new back-end of the bullpen has the potential to be a force.
Now Gomez is simply another right-handed option out of the Phillies' bullpen, and thus far hasn't been a good one, just like he wasn't last September after mowing down the opposition frequently in ninth innings earlier last season. However, it still has three pitchers capable of performing in high leverage situations.
The confidence of the Phillies' bullpen may be another matter. The last time rain forced cancellation of a game at AT&T Park was in April 2006.
Brewers first baseman Eric Thames crushed his fifth home run in four games in a win against the Reds. His batting line after Saturday is just.195/.261/.366.
After the first two weeks of the 2017 campaign, the Washington Nationals have already had a major lineup shakeup because of a hamstring injury to one of their key players, leadoff hitter and sparkplug Trae Turner. The second-year middle infielder is solid in the field but has struggled to produce at the plate this morning.

Well, as some of you are now probably aware (Yesterday's August solicits finally confirmed it) Captain Britain & MI13 will be coming to an end with #15 in July. A very sad event I'm sure you'll agree. Unfortunately, while the book has fought hard to establish a very dedicated fan base it hasn't raised the sales which Marvel required to keep the book alive. But luckily, writer Paul Cornell has planned for this, and explains how the book will be drawn to a natural conclusion through the next two issues and the annual, over at his Blog:
Goodbye Captain Britain
It's a greatly sad turn of events. But I would like to take this opportunity to thank Paul, Leonard Kirk and editor Nick Lowe, for what has been a greatly enjoyable book for the past year and a bit. It really did, in terms of quality, play at the same level as Marvel's bigger titles. The attention to detail, and way in which it weaved both into the Secret Invasion event and more recently Dark Reign, was at times arguably better than those main events. And while it is sad to see the cast once more slide into limbo I feel sure that this run will be remembered, for quite some time to come, as the way in which a British Marvel story SHOULD be told - and told well.
And I am sure that plenty more of you reading this will also feeling this way.
The announcement yesterday, I'm sure it won't surprise you, triggered a lot of responses from some very saddened and angry people on Twitter ) Here and across the Internet, at everywhere from
Comic Book Resources, iFanboy, Comixfan, Newsarama, to Millarworld Here and Here. Heck, at Millarworld they have even opened a Draw Off thread as a tribute to the series: Here.
A lot of people loved this book. Two months ago, due in part to fans actually spreading word of how good the book was (In spite of how little it was advertised) sales began to rise. But last month that fell by 3,000 readers. How, one might ask? I know that several of you mailed me to tell me that you'd struggled to get hold of a copy. It seems that after those false cancellation rumours in the winter a fair number of Comic Book stores lowered their orders. Despite the previous month's rise it would seem that in some case there just wasn't enough copies last month to meet demand - which may have been part of the problem.
I understand that some of you might want to murder Marvel right now ( ;D ). When you look at the sheer number of Marvel Universe titles they have cancelled or not chosen to take beyond a test mini-series in the last 3-4 years you do have to wonder how there's an actual Universe left sometimes. But I'm not a fan of sitting around feeling angry. It's a bit of a waste of time.
Take that anger and try to turn it into something more positive. If you love this book, let Marvel know. You can try emailing them, Twittering them or posting on their forum. But at the end of the day the best way you can voice your disappointment at the book's cancellation is to grab yourself a sheet of paper, and an envelope, and write Marvel a letter. That may seem old-fashioned to some, but using snail mail and writing either by hand or type shows that you're not just spamming their mailbox - your making an effort to voice your opinion.
You could send your letter to the The Editor, or The Publisher, c/o Marvel Comics, 417 5th Avenue, New York City, New York, U.S.A. .
I'm not saying that it will guarantee that Marvel will reconsider, but it will certainly help to make it clear that the book has a fanbase, and that it is vocal enough to tell them they are disappointed. How they then react is up to them. But it's certainly far better than sitting and brooding now, isn't it?
And don't forget to continue spreading the word about the book in trade. Pick up the
first trade, and preorder the second and third. Improving sales of those can only go to help, and you'll have a complete run in three pleasing volumes.
It would also be criminal if a book like this were not acknowledged in this year's Eagle Awards. For those US readers the Eagles are British Comics big fan-voted awards (They take their name from the now sadly defunct Eagle Magazine, which used to house characters like Dan Dare). Nominations for this year's awards are open until Friday (22nd May) and I would urge you all to offer some nominations:
Captain Britain and MI13 was very much a group effort between Paul Cornell, artist Leonard Kirk and editor Nick Lowe. Paul and Leonard both deserve nominations for their work, but if ever an editor deserved acknowledgement, for such hands on involvement with a title, Nick Lowe is that man.
I'd urge you all to nominate wisely, and get those votes in SOON.
I'm going to sign off now. Great apologies for the lack of recent blogging. I just haven't had the time to post, recently. When I do there will be fair bit of content to put up. So keep them peeled.
I'll speak to you all soon.

12.3 million AIDS victims are expected for the first years of this century, most of them younger than 30 years. In particular the district of Guntur, where wortundtat and AMG India are active is regarded as a region with a particular high rate of AIDS sufferers. wortundtat supports a governmental Anti-AIDS programme providing rice, lentils and vitamins for over 1,900 sufferers. The additional nutrients, which are rich in calories and vitamins, and which they could not possibly afford, help them to postpone the outbreak of AIDS. If the illness is already in an advanced state, it can be borne easier with these additional provisions. In addition, wortundtat helps about 1,900 children of AIDS victims in the District of Guntur financially, in particular with their school and vocational education.
AIDS is often accompanied by Tuberculosis. Because the immune system has been weakened by AIDS, this bacterial infection finds it easy to infiltrate the body. Patients, who have been infected, are getting special care.

Well artist Pierre Adrien has been creating wonderful paintings using the Playmobil playsets as inspiration and the results are marvellous. My personal favourite is the Seurat but what's yours?
