South Sudan/Sudan: "Until the war ends, South Sudan is the best place for my kids to grow up."
The roar of Antonov aircraft would often fill the skies above Um Duluk village in Sudan's border region of South Kordofan, says Affat. For her, the sound was a warning that she needed to gather her eight children and flee to the safety of nearby foothills where they would wait out the bombing that would often follow.
"I have children that I need to take care of," Affat says. "How can I do that when the bombs keep falling? I need to make sure my children are safe, so we would run to the rocks in the hills."
Affat and her children would seek shelter in caves. Once the aircraft left, she would leave her children hidden and return to the village to collect food and other belongings. Sometimes they would have to stay out of sight for days at a time.
The conflict in South Kordofan broke out between Sudanese Armed Forces and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement – North in June 2011, around the time that South Sudan seceded from Sudan. Since then, nearly 1 million people in the region have been displaced or severely affected by fighting. Approximately 74,000 people from South Kordofan have sought refuge across the border in Yida, South Sudan's largest refugee settlement.
In May last year, Affat decided to make the long trek to South Sudan and join those already in Yida. "I was tired of living in fear," she says. "The bombing had already frightened away the teachers and we had no chance to farm, so there was nothing keeping us in Um Duluk."
Local capacity overwhelmed
Sudanese refugees began arriving in Yida in South Sudan's Unity state in October 2011. Back then, it was a small hamlet of only 1,800 people. The new arrivals quickly overwhelmed local capacity to provide sufficient clean water, sanitation and food. In those early months, aid agencies struggled to keep up as the rate of arrivals steadily increased. In May and June 2012, up to 1,000 people were arriving in Yida every day, sick and hungry after having travelled for many days, often on foot.
Since then, the situation has stabilized, mainly thanks to the work of the 11 NGOs and UN agencies working in Yida. Deaths from respiratory tract infections, waterborne diseases and malnutrition have dropped sharply due to food distributions, improved sanitation and water supply, and education campaigns designed to prevent the spread of illnesses.
Weekly admissions at the hospital are down from 600 per month at the start of 2013 to 200 per month, and the rate of global acute malnutrition is 1 per cent, which is well below the World Health Organization's emergency threshold of 15 per cent.
"Things in Yida are certainly much better now than they were six months ago," explains Cleophas Mubangizi, head of the UN Refugee Agency's (UNHCR) Yida office.
"We have seen a lot of progress on public health, with aid workers going into communities to build latrines, distribute mosquito nets, and encourage pregnant women to go for check-ups and give birth at the clinic."
However, Mubangizi admits that the challenge now is to sustain these achievements. Despite the successes of humanitarian agencies working in Yida, funding for their efforts has been difficult to secure. This year, as part of their US$1.05 billion revised annual humanitarian appeal, aid organizations in South Sudan have called for $259 million to assist refugees and returnees across the country. So far, only $46 million has been received.
"We hope donors will recognize that humanitarian organizations in Yida need long-term funding to get refugees the help they need," Mubangizi says.
Seeking sustainable solutions for Yida's displaced
About 50 new refugees arrive in Yida every week. The slowdown in arrivals allows aid organizations to focus on finding more sustainable ways to meet refugees' needs. Easing congestion in Yida is a top priority.
A new camp, Ajoung Thok, opened in March to allow refugees to settle in safer and more sustainable conditions. Each family in Ajoung Thok is allocated 400 m2 of land, materials to build homes that are more durable than those in Yida, and seeds and tools to grow crops. All new arrivals to Yida are encouraged to settle in Ajoung Thok.
So far, over 3,000 refugees have made the move. One of the main drivers is access to education: Ajoung Thok has a primary and a secondary school, with nearly 1,600 students enrolled so far.
"People from the Nuba mountains place a very high value on education," explains Jan Kroyer, team leader for Lutheran World Federation, which runs the two schools in Ajoung Thok. "When a convoy of refugees arrives from Yida, the children will be in school the next morning."
But despite the opportunities available in the new camp, most of the refugees want to return home. "If the war stopped and if schools and clinics re-opened in Um Duluk, I would return the next day," Affat says. "Until then, my children and I have a better life here in South Sudan."

hey hasbro,
i just bought the 12 inch female figure from the andomada tv show. i don't even know her name, because i don't give a crap about star trek stuff. but my goodness, this figure is awesome.(made by blue box). i hope you guys will take a look at this line(even the kevin sorbo and black guy and furry guy are awesome!) and then take a look at the merchandise you recently gave us in the form of barbie dolls with puffy, round heads and horrible unarticulated bodies.
while the woman this figure is based on is not attractive, the sculpt is awesome. the body is very articulated and the outfit is very well made. it did cost about $7 more than your boxed figures, but is well worth it.
if you ever wonder why your action collection dosen't sell well, it's not because the interest isn't there.if you would make quality 1/6th scale product like blue box and dragon, i guarantee target wouldn't have a chance to run your stuff on clearance!
in the meantime,i have to decide which cy girl body i'm gonna use to replace your barbie body.

Some stereotypes die hard, and one of them is that of the food snob who turns up his or her nose at common victuals in favour of pretentious, overpriced fare.
In the past couple of weeks, a couple of culinary iconoclasts have decided they've had enough of puffed-up chefs and critics talking down to them.
Among them is St. John's resident Robert Rowe, who wrote a lengthy screed in The Telegram ("Food and food critics," March 9) ridiculing the culture of celebrity chefs and their admirers. The letter was actually a clumsily veiled assault on The Telegram's food critic, Karl Wells, as it cites elements specific to his credentials.
Wells can fight his own battles — if he feels so inclined — but I can't help wondering what state of mind spurred this reader to attack a harmless phenomenon he has every right to simply ignore.
Rowe begins with a simple premise: a railway cook he recalls from years ago could have cooked circles around our celebrated chefs of today.
It's true that any experienced cook can produce a succulent meal, and there is no reason not to hail such efforts.
But Rowe seems to suggest our top chefs have nothing on any Tom, Dick or Harriet who happens to be handy in a kitchen.
Head chefs do more than grill a good pork chop. They explore myriad possibilities beyond the familiar. And the chefs they hire to fill out the roster are instructed how to reproduce the menu as closely as possible.
In the restaurant business, some kitchen staff can and do move quickly up the ranks by virtue of innate talent, rather than any piece of paper they've earned.
If Rowe's railway cook had landed a prominent post in one of today's downtown establishments, would that make him a target of ridicule?
If you don't have the palate or pocketbook to partake of pricey restaurants, nothing is forcing you to go. I'm not all that fond of ballet, but I have no inclination to publicly berate dancers and their critics, portraying them as fakes and frauds. What kind of insecure crank would I be to do so?
Rowe tries to erect a wall between elitist foodies and the regular crowd at Ches's. There is no such wall. Yes, there are a few latent snobs who use food as a tool to feign superiority. But a real foodie loves food — period.
Proper food critics — including The Telegram's — appreciate all food in its own right. The fish-and-chip shop on the corner earns a stamp of excellence by doing what it does best. Same with the pizza joint. Variety, after all, is the spice of life.
There are many misconceptions about the art of criticism. In my career, I've been both a critic (music), and a recruiter thereof. Let me dispel one notion right off the bat — that critics must have a professional background in the field. Not true. In fact, this is one of the least important qualifications.
Knowledge and perspective is essential, but critics must also be able to write well and relate to a broad readership. A food critic doesn't need to be a trained chef any more than a theatre critic has to be a professional actor. Must a business reporter be a CEO? A health reporter, a doctor?
Some feel food critics are bad for business. That's true if a business is not living up to its claims. In fact, critics are good for business. They help raise the profile of local restaurants and encourage them to strive for excellence.
Most of the backlash critics get is from proprietors who feel no duty to provide a quality product or good customer service. Worse, it comes from people like Rowe who seem bent on tearing a strip off anything that dares to venture beyond good old-fashioned mediocrity.
Rowe ends his piece with some curious innuendo about how a small population with only one critic could lead to favouritism and mutual back-scratching. It's not clear whose reputation he's trying to smear. In any event, I say, bring on the other critics!
There are other venues here for food critics, but few seem to hold onto them for long. Given the petty mud-slinging from readers like Rowe, is it any wonder?

Virtualization software maker VMware (VMW) gets a couple of thumbs up today in advance of its Q1 report next Tuesday, April 23rd, after the bell.
Analysts are modeling $1.19 billion in revenue and 70 cents per share in profit for that report.
Pacific Crest's Rob Owens today reiterates an Outperform rating on VMware shares, and a $125 price target, writing that his "checks" suggest the company had a "solid" quarter, "led by bundled solutions of vSphere and vCenter Operations Management." He's modeling $1.19 billion and 69 cents a share.
Owens refutes notions the virtualization is mature and can't grow, writing,
While many next-generation applications are moving toward public clouds, virtualization of traditional applications and workloads is set to grow as well. Opportunities for expansion remain in key verticals and emerging markets, and 80% of physical x86 servers and 50% of enterprise workloads remain unvirtualized, per industry estimates [...] We think solid demand trends in the channel reflect the remaining white space in server virtualization. In our view, this remaining room can support a middle-teens growth rate for VMware until its emerging solutions for software-defined data centers, hybrid clouds and mobility help reaccelerate overall growth.
Walter Pritchard with Citigroup reiterates a Neutral rating, writing that he's "confident" the company can meet his estimate for $1.187 billion in revenue, and that despite warnings of late from F5 Networks (FFIV) and Fortinet (FTNT), "inputs point to stable trends and good execution in the U.S. offsetting the expected softness in [Europe, the Middle East and Africa]."
Pritchard is modeling Q2 revenue of $1.25 billion to $1.27 billion — the consensus is $1.257 billion — and expects VMware to maintain its full year outlook of $5.12 billion to $5.24 billion.

Tamanu oil, or Calophyllum Inophyllum, is from a tree found in Southeast Asia, mostly in Polynesia. The tamanu tree has a thick bark and small leaves. The tree produces a small fragrant fruit that has a large nut hull inside. By drying the nut and allowing it to mature, the nut produces a sticky oil that is pressed out of the hull. Tamanu oil has long been used for its healing abilities as a topical aid.
The extraordinary healing properties of Tamanu Oil have been long admired by the natives of Melanesian and Polynesian cultures. They regard this amazing oil as one of nature's sacred gifts and sometimes refer to it as the Sacred Oil Of Tamanu or Green Gold!
The real healing power of this traditional topical oil is its unique ability to promote the formation of new tissue, thereby accelerating wound healing and the growth of healthy skin (anti-aging). The scientific term for this process is "cicatrization". Your skin is the largest organ in your body. It is made up of 3 different layers - the Epidermis, Dermis, and Hypodermis. Within these 3 layers are various other layers, all with specific functions. Tamanu Oil effectively speeds up the healing process by penetrating deep into the underlying connective tissues of the skin and promoting the growth of new skin tissue.
Traditionally the islanders and local healers (klevas) use Tamanu Oil to promote the formation of new tissue, thereby accelerating wound healing and the growth of healthy skin.
Raw Tamanu oil, extracted from the fruit of the Calophyllum inophyllum tree, is renowned for its remarkable skin healing properties. It is naturally anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. It can be applied liberally to cuts, scrapes, burns, insect bites and stings, abrasions, bed sores, stretch marks, acne and acne scars, psoriasis, shingles, diabetic sores, anal fissures, sunburn, rashes, dry or scaly skin, blisters, eczema, herpes sores, athletes foot, and the reduction of foot and body odor (makes for a fantastic, natural underarm deodorant) and many other skin conditions. Tamanu oil fades stretch marks with incredible results. It also works miracles on scar tissue, making scars look less unsightly. Tamanu oil promotes new tissue formation, accelerating healing and healthy skin growth. Tamanu oil absorbs rapidly into the skin, adding a youthful glow, without any residual greasiness or oiliness. Because of tamanu oil's high phospholipid and glycolipid content is possesses potent anti-wrinkle properties. Tamanu is a traditional medicine in the Polynesian Islands and Madagascar, and its healing capacity and versatility are now better understood in the modern world. The Ni Vanuatu also massage Tamanu Oil into the skin for the relief of neuralgia, rheumatism, sciatica and even baby nappy rash. Daily application of tamanu oil may keep your skin feeling and looking young.
Research shows that Oil of Tamanu contains three basic classes of lipids; neutral lipids, glycolipids, and phospholipids. The oil also contains a unique fatty acid called calophyllic acid, and a novel antibiotic lactone and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent called calophyllolide. These and other components of Tamanu oil, including anti-inflammatory coumarins, account for some of the oil's beneficial activity. Based on the known activity of known constituents, it is clear that oil of Tamanu possesses antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. The unique cicatrising properties of Tamanu Oil are not yet explained in existing scientific literature, though this activity is established and accepted. The same is true for Tamanu's antineuralgic properties. Tamanu Oil is well documented for its relief of neuritis, but the constituents responsible and their modes of activity are not yet known.
The Tamanu tree blooms twice in a year, and has aromatic white flowers that create clusters of yellow-skinned fruits. The fruit has a large nut within it. The harvested fruits are slightly crushed to extract the nuts. The nuts are then sun-dried for about eight weeks. During this time, the nuts turn brown and lose about a third of their original weight. Inside their oil content becomes very high. Tamanu Oil is not present in the fruit when it falls from the tree but forms during the drying period. Once dried, the kernel is mechanically cold-pressed to extract the precious oil. The resulting tamanu oil has a rich texture, a greenish-amber color and a sweet nutty aroma.

● Fading stretch marks
● Reducing arthritis pain

My point was not to condemn all salesmen and politicians; I have been both and believe I have been pretty honest in both roles. However, anyone "selling" a particular perspective is deliberately highlighting the positives of what they believe is the correct decision and highlighting the negatives of what they view as the incorrect decision. The result is a distortion of the truth.
Ideally, we want our scientists to maintain an objective perspective in their research. However, we expect the scientific process to recognize the impact of research bias and to address it through independent confirmation of results and deliberate efforts to structure experiments to offset bias. That does not prevent fraud, but the absence of independent confirmation is generally sufficient to sink a theory. or studies of historic data and social science studies, the situation tends to be more complex but because of emotional involvement in the outcome and because data are inherently messy in these situations

Mole Sauce
This classic Mexican family of sauces is typically served over roasted chicken or pork. While some moles are very complex, taking a day or two to prepare, others, like this one, are much simpler. The dried chiles give it a little bit of a "kick".
3 oz. GOYAÛ Dried Ancho Chiles
3 oz. GOYAÛ Dried Pasilla Chiles
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup toasted blanched almonds
3 tbsp. GOYAÛ Corn Oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 tsp. GOYAÛ Minced Garlic or 2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. GOYAÛ Cinnamon
2 1/2 cups GOYAÛ Tomato Sauce
1 Packet GOYAÛ Cubitos En Polvo - Powdered Chicken Bouillon
2 cups hot water
1 tbsp. Sugar
1/2 tablet mexican chocolate, roughly chopped (about 11/2 oz.)
|Slit the chiles down one side with a knife, remove the stem, seeds and veins. Toast them in a skillet on medium high, about 30-45 seconds on each side. You will begin to smell their aroma. Place the toasted chiles and raisins in bowl and cover with very hot water for 30 minutes. Drain and puree in a blender using as little water as necessary. Add the almonds to the blender and continue to process until smooth.
|Heat oil in a saucepan on medium. Stir in onion and garlic, and cook until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add cinnamon and cook 1 minute. Add tomato sauce, pureed mixture, Cubitos En Polvo, water, sugar and chocolate. Mix well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
|Serve sauce hot over roasted chicken, turkey, or grilled chicken breasts. This sauce can be made ahead and frozen until needed.

Vigil: Gun Safety Vigil Supports Fast Congressional Action on New Common Sense Gun Legislation
As the nation reflects after a wave of deadly shootings, concerned residents and activists hold a vigil to speak out against gun violence in the U.S. and support the passage of sensible gun regulation.
Supporters of President Obama's gun safety initiatives embodied in recently proposed Federal legislation will hold a vigil this Thursday at the San Francisco Federal Building. The vigil organized by local citizens together with gun violence prevention organizations and human rights groups, seeks to keep public concern about gun violence visible while backing House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to push for swift Congressional action to require:
• Background checks for all who purchase firearms.
• Banning the sale of high capacity ammunition magazines.
• Banning the sale of military-style semiautomatic assault weapons.
"We are here today to support Minority Leader Pelosi's embrace of the president's call, which includes universal background checks for every person who seeks to buy a firearm," said Griffin Dix of the California Brady Campaign Chapters, who will speak at the vigil.
Dix added, "Universal background checks will make it harder for convicted criminals to purchase guns. They have helped in California where the latest 2010 CDC data show we have a lower firearm mortality rate and a lower firearm homicide rate than the rest of the country. We ask legislators, 'Why make it easy for criminals to buy guns from private sellers without background checks?'"
High capacity ammunition magazines and military style assault weapons endanger communities in the United States but are an even bigger problem in Mexico.
"The easy availability of assault weapons and high capacity magazines in the U.S. quickly becomes a foreign policy issue", said Ted Lewis of Global Exchange, one of the sponsors of the vigil. "Assault weapons legally purchased in the U.S. are smuggled to Mexico by the thousands where they escalate violence that has already resulted in over sixty thousand murders in just the last six years."
The magnitude of the gun violence problem in the U.S was underlined last December 14th, when 20-year-old Adam Lanza entered Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, armed with a Bushmaster AR-15 rifle and two handguns and unleashed what would become the second deadliest school shooting in U.S. history after the Virginia Tech massacre of 2007. Twenty first-graders and six educators were killed before Lanza took his own life.
In honor of the lives tragically snuffed out in Newtown and by everyday gun violence across the U.S., participants in the vigil will symbolically place 26 sets of shoes on the sidewalk, one by one, and recite the names of those murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The vigil is sponsored by an ad hoc group called SF Community to End Gun Violence that brings Moveon.org, Global Exchange, and the California Brady Campaign together with teachers, parents, students, workers and other citizens from across the Bay Area.

Since we've been on the subject of herringbone patterns lately with our release of Herringbone Classico and a week later, our inspired Herringbone Zig Zag, we have just one more for you:
Herringbone Classico goes retro with a 3-color random mix of #77 Café, #73 Butter and #92 Mist Crackle. The herringbone layout is paired here with a 1/2" x 6" border of #75 Curry and a 3"x3" field tile in #73 Butter, placed in a vertical running bond pattern.
We were inspired to show this fun interpretation of Herringbone Classico today thanks to Spacial Adaptation posting a wonderfully kitchy retro photo from Grassrootsmodern.com:
If you want to kick up the contrast of this pattern a little, consider replacing the subtle Mist Crackle with the darker (and matte) #95 Lichen.
See this pattern and several other of our conceptual layouts on our Design Ideas page, all featuring our spectacular handmade, made to order ceramic wall tile.

Elementary Education teachers need to have an understanding of the subjects taught in classrooms at the Elementary level. DePaul's program requires that students in the Elementary program have a minimum of one course in the following areas: writing, fine arts or literature, mathematics*, science, social science, and either US history or American government. These courses may be taken at the undergraduate level and may have been included in the student's bachelor's degree program. Elementary Education students will be evaluated by an academic advisor after admission to determine if additional coursework is needed. Completion of content area requirements are not prerequisites for admission, however coursework must be completed before student teaching. It is strongly encouraged that applicants meet with an advisor after admission and prior to taking content courses.
*DePaul alumni that have taken LSP 120 or ISP 120 can receive credit towards the math requirement.
Registration in student teaching requires completion of all requirements and procedures listed in the college core section. EDU 95 indicates to the Illinois State Board of Education that all field experience hours are complete.
SCG 439 is required for middle school endorsements but is not required for the degree. If taking SCG 439 for endorsement purposes, a grade of C or better is required.
A master's thesis is written to fulfill the requirements of this course. An oral examination on the thesis is required.
All individuals licensed by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) are required to complete licensure tests specific to their teaching license. Elementary majors must complete the following tests:
Each student seeking licensure from the College of Education/Professional Education Unit must complete supervised field experiences in appropriate lab settings in conjunction with education courses. Students are required to register for one lab for designated paired course. For example, during the first quarter of the program students must register for T&L 404 and SCG 403 plus one field experience lab. During the quarter when students take T&L 413 and LSI 446, a public school that services students with special needs is required. The field experiences must include a variety of grade levels, multicultural experiences, and a minimum of 15 hours in special education settings. All field experiences must be completed prior to final approval for student teaching. Field experience hours should be entered by the student into the FEDS system when completing courses with field experience requirements.

Germany 1877 – Australia 1968
Australia from 1884; Europe, England 1899-1903
Still life with pumpkins and onions
oil on canvas
Frame 86.6 (h) x 113.5 (w) x 7.0 (d) cm
The Cedars, The Hans Heysen Estate, Hahndorf
An artist who spent a great deal of time painting and drawing out of doors, Heysen was also remarkably accomplished at still-life painting. From 1914 to 1937 he explored such subjects, which were ideal when the weather prevented him from working outside. They were also favoured for gifts. His method for still-lifes was different from landscape, in that he worked direct from the subject, without making studies. Although this category never dominated his art, he produced some spectacular paintings of flowers, fruit and vegetables, including zinnias, roses, grapes, pineapples, pomegranates, apples, quinces, pears and pumpkins. The paintings include large-scale extravagant arrangements, as well as smaller, more intimate, flower studies.
A most exceptional piece is Still life with pumpkins and onions, 1922, featuring home-grown produce from the vegetable garden at The Cedars. The pumpkins and onions, the brass pot on the left, which today still remains at The Cedars, and the glass bottle on the right constitute an arrangement of strong, solid forms. Earthy tones are evocative of the ground in which the vegetables were grown and create an appropriately rustic composition. This is further emphasised by large brushstrokes of thickly applied paint, conveying the organic nature of the subject in a rich and striking composition of convincing realism.

Saris' Bike Porter Hitch makes bike transportation effortless. The durable T-design steel frame hauls two bikes of up to 35 pounds each and fits both standard hitch sizes. Ratcheting anti–sway straps secure and stabilize your bikes, while grooved rubber cradles separate the bike's shift and brake cables from the frame. The rack folds down to the ground so you can access the back hatch of your car, plus the top bar folds down out of the way when not in use.

This thing is so easy to use, it's hard to believe it's so stable and secure, too. Swings way clear of the tailgate for easy access and bikes go on an off quickly. One they're on, though, they're going nowhere. Yeah, I suppose it could be a little lighter but what would I give up for a pound or two? Nothing. Saris does it again!
Easy to install and use, great purchase for hauling our 2 bikes.
I love this Saris Rack! I needed a high quality rack for my CRV and the Porter is a perfect fit. It is easy to install and remove, has very little motion when traveling, and can be easily locked onto the spare tire for ease of mind. For me, it is also a plus that this rack is made in the USA.
I purchased 2 months ago. Its a wonderful prouduct and does excatly what need. The only thing I would improve is it fits a little loose in my Tahoe hitch. The construction is top of the line and I didn't find any other products close to this one.
so simple -even this 60 yr. old grandma can take off and on- customer service outstanding - i didnt close the plastic locks and one flew off while i was driving- they graciously sent some new ones out -- get one today!
I live in a sketchy neighborhood; which means I cannot leave the bike rack up on my car overnight as someone may wander by and take the item. However, this particular rack is so easy to install/uninstall that I can set up and tear down the rack in 2-3 minutes. After the initial installation, I really got the hang of the tension straps, the proper angle of the rack, and the support arm for my vehicle. I would definitely recommend this to others.
Best Uses
This is a great bike rack. I used to have a rack with straps. All I did was keep looking in my rear view mirror to see if the bike was still secure. The ratcheting straps keep the bike secure and the cradles are great too. You can take your bike anywhere with this bike rack and not worry about it falling off.
works great. just what i expected from Saris. very stable on both my full size truck and my grand caravan
The rack itself is fine, but the hardware (cotter pin) doesn't fit the standard hitch on my F150 (too short). I had to purhase a pin in order to mount the rack. The rack is also less stable than I would like, swaying a bit in the mount. Bikes do mount quickly and easily.
I am sure that your racks are generally efficient and fit for purpose, but for me this model I do not find it gives me conidence.I feel I have spent a good deal of money on the wrong rack.

TUPELO – The bond was revoked Thursday morning for a Tupelo man charged with two felonies.
Jeffery T. Kilgo, 26, of Tupelo, was charged with two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and one count of burglary of a dwelling.
Police say his bond was revoked because he is currently out on bond for previous felony charges.
The charges stem from a Wednesday burglary and a Tupelo Police Department release says they recovered the allegedly stolen property from the alleged burglary the same day..

Never use iTunes.I use Winamp on one, and AIMP on another.http://www.aimp2.usBoth good.
Foobar is kind of a nifty stand-alone player, but I use iTunes because I have a huge library with many playlists, and it's very convenient to be able to play it from any computer (Mac or PC or iPad or iPod or iPhone) in the house.People complain about iTunes messing up their library, but if you keep your library consolidated and don't do anything bizarre with metadata, it works perfectly well. I leave iTunes running on my studio Mac Pro 24/7, and play tracks & playlists from it from all over the place.
I think the sound quality of iTunes for playback is very good, but I'm using it to play back 320k MP3 files, so I'm not being as fussy as some people about absolute perfection here.I understand some people who don't like to have their music in a library format, but it's the only way to have playlists, and I find playlists very convenient. I have iTunes managing a very large library, and it's not slow at all. Of course, the library is so large that it's not extremely convenient to scroll through the complete track listing. I mostly select playlists, or search for artists or albums.
I guess that's one benefit I find with the Mac, which is that you don't need to worry about things like DirectX drivers (if that's even a real thing any more), ASIO, and so on. The only problem I ever run into is manufacturers failing to update their drivers to compatibility with the latest OSX, for example I've had instances of hard crashing with the old drivers for my Presonus Firestudio on my new iMac. When I disconnect the device and uninstall the drivers, no more freeze-ups. It's apparently a widespread issue with drivers for all Presonus firewire interfaces on OSX 10.9 or Mavericks.It isn't too inconvenient for me at the moment because my old Mac Pro is sitting at the next desk over, so I just connect the Firestudio to that, and use a different USB audio interface for getting audio out of the iMac.
Even on Mac I think the difference in audio quality with asio is still quite big though.. the soun quality on windows 8 is really good, but asio is more professional audio protocol I would recommend to use it at all times when possible. Personally I would not imagine to listen to music in non asio drivers especially not if oyu use an expensive interface/converter that does not make sense at all. the Asio drivers will open up the full potential.

Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
Last year I bought the TRU exclusive gunship for my kid. We found water bottles, newspaper from Alabama, and a busted old gi joe vehicle inside.
Last night at one of my targets I saw special seals placed on the edges of hoth packs pretty much saying return not accepted if seal is broken.
So how is doing this any worse than taking already purchased figures back to get more money than what you paid?
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
who knows but this is all out of control. the deal is packages need special seals like on lego of pentium cpus. this way you cant deny a broken seal.
I think slicker has totally missed the point...
I was at a WM once, in line to exchange gift, when a person ahead of me was returning a water purification unit. The counter attendant, to his dismay, opened it. He was trying to get her not to, but she went ahead. Inside were old VHS cassettes. The guy became flustered, but I missed much of the dialogue because I was performing my transaction. I do recall a manager coming over, but whether he was correctly cited for attempted theft I'll never know. We live in a world of scum and villainy.

Apple/Microsoft/Adobe Under Spotlight for Hiking Australian Prices

(Source: theapplebites.com)
Apple says content providers like record companies, TV networks and movie studios are to blame
Apple, Microsoft and Adobe are currently being questioned for the high prices they
charge Australians
for digital products, but Apple accused traditional content distributors like record companies for the price hikes.
An Australian parliamentary committee is investigating Apple, Microsoft and Adobe for charging Australian customers around 50 percent more for digital products (and sometimes hardware) than customers in other areas of the world -- including the U.S.
Tony King, vice president for Apple Australia, New Zealand and South Asia, said that traditional content providers like record labels, TV networks and movie studios are to blame because digital pricing is based on wholesale costs set by these content holders.
"The content industry still runs with perhaps old-fashioned notions of country borders or territories or markets," King said. "The cards are in the hand of the folks who own the content, that is not in our hand to play."
Apple, Microsoft and Adobe also said that prices are higher in Australia because of higher labor costs, copyright issues, geographical product differentiation and Australia's 10 percent goods and services tax.
A survey by consumer advocacy group Choice showed that both hardware and software sold in Australia were priced 50 percent higher than the same items in the U.S.
While King pointed out that products like the iPad mini and Final Cut Pro software were the same price in Australia as the U.S., other products clearly are not. For instance, albums like Justin Timberlake's "20/20 Experience" and AC/DC's "Back in Black" on iTunes are priced 50 percent and 70 percent higher in Australia compared to the U.S. respectively.
For Adobe, Australians have to pay A$3,175 ($3,300 USD) for CS6 Design and Web Premium software while Americans pay just $1,899.
On Microsoft's end, the committee said that Australians pay A$4,136 for the same products that Americans pay the equivalent of A$2,324 for.
"I'm an Internet expert too. It's all right to wire the industrial zone only, but there are many problems if other regions of the North are wired." -- North Korean Supreme Commander Kim Jong-il

I know I was not popular at the time for pointing it out, but hope I prevented more affecteds by doing that. As I told the stud owner, I still love what I got. Actually, I can't imagine now not having done the breedings I did. It's a real dilemma.

This should be required reading for all you torture apologists.
Testimony of David Luban
Senate Judiciary Committee,
Subcommittee on Administrative Oversight and the Courts
Hearing: What Went Wrong: Torture and the Office of Legal Counsel in the Bush Administration
May 13, 2009
Chairman Whitehouse and members of the subcommittee.
Thank you for inviting me to testify today. Youve asked me to talk about the legal ethics of the torture and interrogation memos written by lawyers in the Office of Legal Counsel. Based on the publicly-available sources Ive studied, I believe that the memos are an ethical train wreck.
When a lawyer advises a client about what the law requires, there is one basic ethical obligation: to tell it straight, without slanting or skewing. That can be a hard thing to do, if the legal answer isnt the one the client wants. Very few lawyers ever enjoy saying no to a client who was hoping for yes. But the professions ethical standard is clear: a legal adviser must use independent judgment and give candid, unvarnished advice. In the words of the American Bar Association, a lawyer should not be deterred from giving candid advice by the prospect that the advice will be unpalatable to the client. [1]
That is the governing standard for all lawyers, in public practice or private. But its doubly important for lawyers in the Office of Legal Counsel. The mission of OLC is to give the President advice to guide him in fulfilling an awesome constitutional obligation: to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. Faithful execution means interpreting the law without stretching it and without looking for loopholes. OLCs job is not to rubber-stamp administration policies, and it is not to provide legal cover for illegal actions.
No lawyers advice should do that. The rules of professional ethics forbid lawyers from counseling or assisting clients in illegal conduct; [2] they require competence;[3] and they demand that lawyers explain enough that the client can make an informed decision, which surely means explaining the law as it is. [4] These are standards that the entire legal profession recognizes.
Unfortunately, the torture memos fall far short of professional standards of candid advice and independent judgment. They involve a selective and in places deeply eccentric reading of the law. The memos cherry-pick sources of law that back their conclusions, and leave out sources of law that do not. They read as if they were reverse engineered to reach a pre-determined outcome: approval of waterboarding and the other CIA techniques.
My written statement goes through the memos in detail, Mr. Chairman. Let me give just one example here of what I am talking about. Twenty-six years ago, President Reagans Justice Department prosecuted law enforcement officers for waterboarding prisoners to make them confess. The case is called United States v. Lee. [5] Four men were convicted and drew hefty sentences that the Court of Appeals upheld. [6]
The Court of Appeals repeatedly referred to the technique as torture. This is perhaps the single most relevant case in American law to the legality of waterboarding. [7] Any lawyer can find the Lee case in a few seconds on a computer just by typing the words water torture into a database. But the authors of the torture memos never mentioned it. They had no trouble finding cases where courts didnt call harsh interrogation techniques torture.[8] Its hard to avoid the conclusion that Mr. Yoo, Judge Bybee, and Mr. Bradbury chose not to mention the Lee case because it casts doubt on their conclusion that waterboarding is legal.[9]
Without getting further into technicalities that, quite frankly, only a lawyer could love, Id like to briefly mention other ways that the torture memos twisted and distorted the law. The first Bybee memo advances a startlingly broad theory of executive power, according to which the President as commander-in-chief can override criminal laws. This was a theory that Jack Goldsmith, who headed the OLC after Judge Bybees departure, described as an extreme conclusion that has no foundation in prior OLC opinions, or in judicial decisions, or in any other source of law.[10] It comes very close to President Nixons notorious statement that when the President does it, that means it is not illegalexcept that Mr. Nixon was speaking off the cuff in a high pressure interview, not a written opinion by the Office of Legal Counsel.
The first Bybee memo also wrenches language from a Medicare statute to explain the legal definition of torture. The Medicare statute lists severe pain as a symptom that might indicate a medical emergency. Mr. Yoo flips the statute and announces that only pain equivalent in intensity to organ failure, impairment of bodily function, or even death can be severe. This definition was so bizarre that the OLC itself disowned it a few months after it became public.[11] It is unusual for one OLC opinion to disown an earlier one, and it shows just how far out of the mainstream Professor Yoo and Judge Bybee had wandered. The memos authors were obviously looking for a standard of torture so high that none of the enhanced interrogation techniques would count. But legal ethics does not permit lawyers to make frivolous arguments merely because it gets them the results they wanted. I should note that on January 15 of this year, Mr. Bradbury found it necessary to withdraw six additional OLC opinions by Professor Yoo or Judge Bybee.[12]
Mr. Chairman, recent news reports have said that the Justice Departments internal ethics watchdog, the Office of Professional Responsibility, has completed a five-year investigation of the torture memos. OPR has the power to refer lawyers to their state bar disciplinary authorities, and news reports say they will do so.
I have no personal knowledge about what OPR has found. Presumably, investigators were looking either for evidence of incompetence, evidence that the lawyers knew their memos dont accurately reflect the law, or evidence that process was short-circuited.
This morning I have called the torture memos a legal train wreck. I believe its impossible that lawyers of such great talent and intelligence could have written these memos in the good faith belief that they accurately state the law. But what I or anyone else believes is irrelevant. Ethics violations must be proved, by clear and convincing evidence, not just asserted. That sets a high bar, and it should be a high bar.
In closing, I would like to emphasize to this Committee that when OLC lawyers write opinions, especially secret opinions, the stakes are high. Their advice governs the executive branch, and officials must be told frankly when they are on legal thin ice. They and the American people deserve the highest level of professionalism and independent judgment, and I am sorry to say that they did not get it here.
I know this will not change the opinions of those who think waterboarding is not torture, however, I think this clearly shows that legally what the Bush administration did was a violation of the law.

So, I noticed in the last week or so that most of the subjects I have interviewed on the Morris football team are looking kind of scruffy. This coming last week after I used the video camera here at the Herald to do simple audio interviews with various members of the Redskins team for the T-formation story. My tape recorded had just failed me a couple of days earlier, which is why I was using the video camera.
Since I wasn't using the footage for a MDH video, I aimed the microphone up at each of the kids and then played it back in I-Movie to write the comments down. Somewhere about the third interview, I noticed that each of the kids I interviewed had Five-O'Clock ShadowĀ or even more. Eventually, I realized that it was more than just a coincidence so this week I asked Morris coach Alan Thorson what it was all about.
"Every year the kids do something different. I've been here eight years now and when I first started it was moustaches and then the team went bleach blonde," Thorson said. "This year I don't know if it's because of the hockey lockout or what, but the kids decided to do no shaving and they ended up talking the coaching staff into it, too.
"It's driving me nuts and I know my wife doesn't like it, but we're all superstitious and we're playing good football, so it's worth an itchy face to keep it going."
Considering that Morris scored 65 points last week, I don't think I'd do anything about it either.
The Redskins 65-20 win at home last week against Urbana was one of historic proportions in MCHS lore. Research shows that it is the most points ever scored by the locals in a playoff game, topping a 59-0 win in the 1994 over Westinghouse.
Reese Sobol's 317-yards on the ground is also just the second time that a Morris back has run for over 300 yards in a single game — second only to John Dergo's 2005 game in the playoffs against Joliet Catholic Academy when he had 354 yards in 20 carries.
While I was doing my research on Saturday night after I got home, I found that the 65 points by Morris is not only the most scored by the Redskins in a playoff game, but it is also the 11th highest point total scored by the locals in any game ever.
Here are the highest scoring point totals for Morris, the team it came against and the year it happened according to my research.
1) Morris 122, Spring Valley Hall 0 — 1914
2) Morris 121, Gardner 0 — 1949
3) Morris 77, Westmont 22 — 2002
4) Morris 76, Streator 6 — 1969
5) Morris 74, Mazon 0 — 1948
6) Morris 71, Yorkville 0 — 1920
7) Morris 68, Kaneland 10 — 1987
8) Morris 67, Sycamore 14 — 1992
9) Morris 66, Kaneland 8 — 1992
10) Morris 66, St. Anne 12 — 1967
11) Morris 65, Urbana 20 — 2012
Sadly, no information exists on the game from 1914 as the MDH just reported the score back then, but the 1949 game is well documented. In the 121-0 win, Jim Cryder scored 10 times, Bobby Brayton four times and Jerry McTague three. Through the air, Brayton was 16-of-19 passing for 450 yards and nine TD.
Morris had 487 total yards against Westmont and had a 35-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. Against Streator, Leonard Butler had had 10 touchdowns and 64 total points back in 1969. That game, Butler had 284 yards in 38 attempts.
It's all very impressive when you think about it.

Opposites attract in this colorful alternative to green salad. Ingredients with two completely different textures—juicy clementines and crunchy jicama—marry in a garlicky vinaigrette. With red onion, cilantro, and fresh cheese, each bite is a burst of cool.
Leave a Review
I liked this but it wasn't over the top. Very healthy and refreshing with the oranges. Only change I made was goat cheese vs queso fresco. It's nice and light.
Excellent, very refreshing salad. I agree with another review, 1/2 of the dressing recipe is adequate for this salad (the balance can remain on the side if guests prefer more dressing). Rather than chopping the garlic, I used a garlic press, just easier and more efficient, results were just fine. Definitely would make this again, guests enjoyed it!
I thought the recipe was spot on...the NEXT day! I made this about an hour before I served it. It was good, but the dressing was a bit lost in the whole thing. Well to my surprise the next day this salad went from good to great! The jicama had time to absorb the flavors and the vinaigrette just jumped out in assertiveness! I would recommend making this 24 hours before serving.
I followed the advice of other reviews to add pomegranate seeds and avocado. I diced pink lady apples and tossed it with a bag of mâché. You could half the dressing; it made way more than you'll need!
This is so simple, so easy and so fresh tasting. I served it with pulled port tacos and it was the perfect foil to the pork. Just used regular oranges and it was fab.
I brought this to a potluck and everyone loved it. I substituted the cheese for goat cheese, since I can't eat cow's milk, and it was perfect.
I first made this delicious recipe on Thanksgiving as it was refreshing to the palate with all the traditional heavy foods. I now am living somewhere that it is difficult to find Jicama so I substituted that with Granny Smith Apples and LOVED LOVED LOVED it even more than with the Jicama and I really adore Jicama. I just used this recipe for a luncheon side dish and the girls loved it. Enjoy!
Simple, fresh, great combination of flavors and textures. I will definitely make this again.
So unusual. So good. Served as a first course to blackened halibut with roasted corn guacamole. Delish!
I didn't have fresh cilantro, but added dried cilantro (coriander) to the dressing for the flavor, and served over a small amount of chopped romaine. Then I got the idea to use up the pomegranate seeds I had, so I sprinkled about 2 tablespoons over each salad. Wow! They added additional texture, made the flavors more complex, ramped up the antioxident quotient, and made the presentation even more gorgeous.

Bel-cam, I never get chopsticks at Yoshinoya, but that's a good idea, I wonder if that's why they had those pencil boxes.
As for the pricing, they also have a 1/2 pound bean and cheese burrito for 99 cents, any hungry homeless dude on the street can afford that.
Master Jedi, did someone really name a chain of mexican fast food joints "Taco Johns"? That's hysterical! I always thought the Taco Johns were out behind the Taco Bells, and they're ALWAYS busy.

It's the age old question... Do I keep getting speeding tickets, or do I not keep getting speeding tickets? It can be kind of hard to decide sometimes. There are only a handful of ways to better spend your money than on a speeding ticket. I don't know, like a new video game, a fancy dinner, new shoes, go see a movie, a down payment on a new car... Yeah, but only a few things that are better than a speeding ticket. 9 out of 10 of the people here at Sonic Electronix agree, after heavy debate, that speeding tickets aren't a good thing. As for that 1 person who disagreed, that person wasn't even there for the vote. But you know, it's up to you to decide really. The average cost of a speeding ticket is $200 plus the increase on your insurance... Or you know, there's always this PRO-68SE radar detector that can help prevent all of that. It really is a tough choice; speeding tickets... Or nice things... But we'll let you decide, we know you'll make the right choice.
No Frills, All Performance
Sometimes when you do a redesign on an already great product you have to take some things out to make it better. That's what Whistler did when designing the PRO-68SE. They based their design off of their highly recognized PRO-78SE, stripped out the fancy stuff that the everyday person doesn't use, and beefed up the stuff that really matters. Now, you have a radar/laser detector that has an improved range, simpler user interface and less false alerts for a fraction of the price of competing models. The people at Whistler know what you want and the reviews are in.
No One Is Saying You Should Drive Faster...
...But hey, it does happen every once in a while. Maybe it's a long drive and you've got a clear road ahead of you, or maybe you just don't realize you're pressing that hard on the pedal. Either way, you're covered. The folks at Whistler designed the PRO-68SE with you in mind. They know you want to be protected from a distance so you have time to slow down and with their upgraded technology they've achieved just that.
So Relax!
Stop worrying and start enjoying your car drives again. With the costs of gas the way they are, it can really take the joy out of your joy ride. Worrying about being pulled over plus the cost of gas can make driving down right miserable. We'd make gas a buck a gallon if we could but we can't so we can at least give you a smokin' deal on this radar/laser detector so you can worry less and enjoy more.
Due to state laws, Sonic Electronix, Inc can not ship radar detectors to Virginia or the District of Columbia.

Within the first week the detector saved me from a few tickets.
Really picks up any signal.
People say its a bulky but I personally don't see it being large at all.
Goes off sometimes when I know there isn't any police around but can't complain because it's just picking up signals.
I have a few subs and the sound can be adjusted to be loud enough to be heard over the woofers.
Pros: Effective at short and long range. Display is very visible. Good length wire. Picks up singles everywhere.
Cons: Goes off randomly sometimes when I know there isn't any police around for miles.
I recommend this to anyone who wants a detector but doesn't want to spend a lot.

Not bad for the money. I bought this for a present and had about a week to try it. I haven't bought a new detector in 18 years, been using my valentine one. This one isn't even in the same league as my old V-one as far as sensitivity and range. It does have some nice features though. Better than driving without anything but for an experienced radar detector user I would recommend spending more money on something better.

This was my first ever radar detector, I'd never been pulled over before though I felt like I was pushing my luck. So I got a radar detector to give me a little assistance. It saved me once going 85 in a 35, KA band went off slammed my brakes slid around a corner and met a sheriff going 34 miles an hour. Sometimes cops don't have their radars on, which is a major downfall, so you'll still have to watch out. Just got busted criminal speeding, had my friend rip it off the dashboard and throw it under the seat.
I had set too much faith in the radar detector after it saved me about 3-4 times, which was major stupidity on my spot. My KA band went off, and I hit the brakes, but the cop was already about 150 yards away scanning me. He told me that he caught me doing 87, although my radar detector went off and I was only doing 75 at that point... But, it would have been stupid for me to tell him I had one. If you're caught doing a speed and you know you're screwed just keep going that speed until they pull you over, find a spot to pull of turn off your headlights and wait until you're not there anymore.
I'd also recommend not speeding with a group of people with HIDs on, because I was picked out of a small group; and my car was easily identifiable. Not only is it sporty, fast, but the headlights were just a major set off. Good luck, but I know I won't be speeding anymore.

Absolutely worth it, you get more than you pay for, I spent under $50 and it has been the best investment in my car.
This is the best bang per buck for its price range, obviously not a 4-600$ or $1k and above, but for my country and occasional city needs its perfect!
Didn't think I would really need it, but it already saved me from a ticket when I gained speed down a hill and it started going off!
Love the settings customization, alert styles etc!
4 on durability due to month of owning, although its held up in the MI winter so far
4 on use because it can take a bit to understand the features, but great manual!

I have a had several radars in the past. Everything from Passport escort x50 to the tried and true valentine. Now for the money that I payed or the whistler you really can't go wrong. However, that being said it
Is not going to out perform the valentine or the x50. They're in a completely different league thus the reason why they come with a 400 dollar and up price tag. But again, if you're looking for your first radar and to get your feet wet.... you can't go wrong.

One thing is that you have to put it on a certain setting so the false alarms will decrease, but you will still get them.
This product also has a lot of great features like dim modes, and quiet modes. And this detector can be loud enough to be heard over loud music and also be very quiet when you don't feel like being bothered.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Tyler Russell knows how to beat the clock.
During practices, Mississippi State offensive coordinator Les Koenning has a stopwatch to time how long Russell stays in the pocket before making a throw or bailing. That work has produced good results on game day, and it helped Russell stay poised in last week's 38-7 loss to Alabama.
Russell was 15 of 30 for 169 yards and took just one sack despite absorbing several hits.
"I bring the stopwatch out with me to practice," Koenning said, "and I make sure those things are out, and I'll let him know, so he understands – I'm slow, I'm early, I'm slow, I'm early. Get the feel of the routes."
Russell was at his sharpest on a 16-play, 97-yard drive in the third quarter. He completed 7 of 9 passes for 85 yards, taking MSU from its own 2-yard line to Alabama's 1.
He was intercepted in the end zone, but aside from that, Russell showed what he's capable of when he's at his best. The fact that he kept delivering strong throws despite taking so many hits impressed offensive line coach John Hevesy.
"Unlike some guys I've seen, he's not going to throw it away or duck and eat it," Hevesy said. "He's going to stand there and throw a bullet and then brace for the giant hit coming his way. I've seen a lot of quarterbacks take a dive, and Tyler has a set on him to throw the ball like he does at times."
Secondary breakdowns
MSU's secondary had some uncharacteristic breakdowns in the loss to Alabama.
The most noticeable miscue came on a 57-yard touchdown pass from A.J. McCarron to Kenny Bell in the first quarter. It looked initially like All-American cornerback Johnthan Banks was beaten on the play, but it wasn't all on him.
Banks was trying to undercut Bell's route, thinking there was safety help over the top from senior Corey Broomfield. Help never came.
"We were trying to what we call rock-and-roll our coverages off of what they were doing," defensive coordinator Chris Wilson said. "Corey, it just didn't happen. I didn't coach it well enough, and they didn't get it executed well enough."
Banks makes cut
Banks has been named a semifinalist for two major awards.
The senior made the cut for the Bednarik and Thorpe Awards, it was announced Monday.
The Bednarik Award, which named 16 semifinalists, goes to the country's most outstanding defensive player. The Thorpe Award, which trimmed its list to 15, goes to the top defensive back.
Banks has 37 tackles, four interceptions and five pass break-ups this season. He has 16 career interceptions, tied for the school record.

Expect that somewhere in the boot-up scripts, redhat will try to rewrite your /etc/fstab file with new names (and then not write them back correctly if you use 'devfs=nomount' when you boot)
I had to use my LBT (bbc) disc 35 times today. That disc rocks. There are 2 show-stopper bugs in it. 'mount' doesn't work, (but 'mount.real' does) and 'losetup' is missing, so you can 'mount -o' something, but never release the /dev/loop0, so you can never reboot. :( These will have to be fixed soon! It still seems awesome to be able to use such a little linux disc for doing all this xfs conversion work.
Anyway, finally got the sequence all down, and after mkfs.xfs on a partition, you have to xfs_admin to set the label, since /etc/fstab uses partition labels for mounting. Grub is also very picky, and has to be re-installed for xfs support to work.
Thursday and Friday of this week, I will be at the Open Source Health Care Alliance conference. ( http://www.openparadigms.com/oshca2002 ) If anyone is going to be there, let me know.
