Well, you may have figured out by glancing below that this article's title is somewhat misleading - there's only an 84 song set-list provided for you towards the bottom of this article. There will, however, be over 20 free songs released as downloadable content for Rock Band 2 at several junctures past the title's initial release. That puts the total track-list at over 100.

Welcome to the eighth annual SNN Predicts series of articles (ninth overall, if you count the 2004 version done on the forums, lost to the mists of time but notable for the fact that I went 0-4 in series involving the Flames), in which we act like we know what we're talking about and make our (mostly) blindingly obvious predictions, with a shocking amount of success, considering some mainstream reporters usually wind up under .500 by the time the Stanley Cup is finally awarded somewhere around Canada Day. This is also at least my sixth year in a row copying and pasting the same intro, because I'm cool like that.
So. Three of the last four Stanley Cups – including the league's #1 possession team – are sitting at home, the Jets look like a decent dark horse out of the Neo-Smythe, and the East is tempting me to pull out a d8 and Matt it up. Oh, and I'm doing this for dollars this year, with five of them sitting in an office pool. That should be interesting.
As always, the best predictor is still last-20 GP shot-adjusted Corsi ("possession"), which has about a 75% conversion rate, but I've gone against it in three of eight series: two for injury reasons (one getting better, one getting worse), and one for MVP reasons. Fingers crossed there. Also, I'm super nervous about my Cup Finals picks with a bunch of the safe ones gone, and I'm still not completely convinced of my Western champion, but fuck it, you gotta put something down, right? First instinct or bust.

Benefits May Result from Electric Power Shortage
John Cunniff, Ap, THE JOURNAL RECORD
Talk of looming power shortages and brownouts around the country has many people worrying about the problems those circumstances might cause.
But some financial analysts and stock-market investors also are looking into who might stand to benefit, acting on the time-honored Wall Street precept that every crisis contains an opportunity.
The electric power situation hasn't yet reached crisis proportions. But as the Merrill Lynch Market Letter observes in a special report on the subject:
``Supplies of electricity are gradually tightening in many regions, especially in New England, on New York's Long Island and in some mid-Atlantic states.
``The problem reflects unexpectedly strong demand in recent years, operating difficulties that have forced some generating stations out of service and the reluctance of some local governments to allow completed plants to operate.''
A team of analysts at IDS Financial Services, the big Minneapolis-based money management firm, asserts, ``The United States faces the very real threat of a substantial shortage of electricity, on a national scale, by the mid-1990s.''
In most industries, an investor's response to such a forecast would be simple - buy stocks of companies that own and produce the commodity or product in question.
But electric utilities are a special case, since they lack the ability to set their prices simply on the basis of supply-and-demand market forces. The rates they can charge are set by state regulators.
``It's unlikely that many utilities will benefit substantially from higher sales of electricity. Regulatory authorities often make it difficult for companies to keep extra profits,'' says Merrill Lynch.
Any gain in revenues and profits, IDS says, is likely to occur at a utility that has a large ``reserve margin'' - capacity to provide extra power at periods of peak demand. …

Partners (Spring 2000)
Partners (Spring 2000)
New Homeowners in the Heart of French LouisianaIn Lafayette, Louisiana, the key elements for successful affordable housing programs came together as a result of a shared vision and a willingness to work together in a collaborative way. At the same time, all parties never lost sight of the need for decisions to also make solid business sense. When parties are willing to work together under this framework and reach agreement, the benefits in community development can be positive for everyone involved in the process. In Community Affairs, we take great pleasure in our work from seeing families realize their homeownership dream. But what's nearly as satisfying is seeing exceptional examples of cooperative efforts that help make those dreams come true. One such example is in Lafayette, Louisiana. We are pleased to present this story below to capture some of the better elements of this public/private partnership.
By Wayne Smith
Community Development is all about expanding the opportunity for homeownership to low- and moderate-income individuals and families. Of course, the task is not always easy when dealing with multiple parties. In Lafayette, Louisiana, a number of elements had to come together.
First, you had to have a good developer who could build affordable housing profitably. Next, you had to have a willing financial institution to offer an affordable mortgage product. Then, you had to have a capable city government to support the proposal and facilitate gap financing. And of course, you had to have eligible and educated buyers along with dedicated realtors who would work to bring the parties together.
In Lafayette, the results shine.
Developer Linda Supple worked to design and build affordable housing that is as attractive as it is well built. The brick homes featured on the cover and in this article have three bedrooms, two baths, custom kitchen cabinets, central heat and air, patio, and quality finishes throughout. They sell in the upper-$70,000 price range.
The pivotal factor for a developer to be able to build such housing profitably is to keep costs down. In this case, the developer acquired the Bayberry Point subdivision from a bank that foreclosed on the property and had carried it as a non-earning asset in "other real estate." With the infrastructure already in place — such as paved streets, curbing, sewers, and underground utilities — great savings could be realized.
Of course, as most developers know, there is more to it than the bricks and mortar. Working closely with the homebuyer is critical. "I spend so much time with the client to build their confidence and earn their trust," said Ms. Supple. "I'll even help make the appointment for them to meet the lender. The customer is always more comfortable if they know the lender is expecting to see them."
Like other financial institutions in Lafayette, Whitney National Bank is actively involved in community lending. Pattie Charpentier, Community Lending and Outreach Specialist, worked aggressively to promote mortgage products that would serve the needs of low- and moderate-income borrowers when coupled with gap financing provided through the Lafayette Consolidated Government.
The Whitney products include FHA and VA loans, and an in-house market interest rate product with no origination fees, no points, no mortgage insurance, a 3% downpayment, and debt ratios of 33% for the housing payment, and 42% for the total debt payment.
"This partnership works," says Ms. Charpentier, "because so many people are not out for individual financial gain. And with this developer, we know the client comes first."
The Lafayette Consolidated Government has a substantial commitment to the partnership as well. Joseph Bourg, Governmental and Business Relations Manager, says "getting people into homes is a sound economic policy."
The local government has a substantial number of housing programs and services to offer. Some of the programs include rehabilitation grants, demolition grants, home maintenance courses, homebuyer education training programs, emergency shelter grants, and soft second mortgages for first time homebuyers to bridge the gap for many homebuyers.
Community Development Practitioners - standing from left to right are Anthony Branham, Business Development Officer, Lafayette Consolidated Government; Barbara Kinchen, Realtor, Belle Terre Properties; Shawn Moore, Business Development Specialist, and Joe Bourg, Government and Business Relations Manager, both with the Lafayette Consolidated Government; and Faye Nunn, Counselor with Neighborhood Services. Seated is Sylvia Mouton, Broker, Belle Terre Properties; Linda Supple, Developer, Bayberry Point Subdivision; and Pattie Charpentier, Community Lending and Outreach Specialist, Whitney National Bank.
The Lafayette Consolidated Government and the Lafayette Public Trust Financing Authority provide the gap financing for applicants whose income does not exceed 115% of the area median income. The program provides a 5% interest loan of up to $5,000 for downpayment or closing costs assistance.
A 15-year loan, the second mortgage will "buy down" the interest rate for the homebuyer. And while the $39.54 monthly payment can be an administrative burden as the volume of loans grow, the Consolidated Government recognizes the benefit of homeownership far outweigh the administrative costs.
As with all new products, "it's like sculpting a program," says Mr. Bourg. "You try to improve upon it every year."
Other restrictions apply, and for good reasons. For example, the first mortgage interest rate can not exceed 9%.
As local Realtor Barbara Kinchen with Belle Terre Properties explains, "you should not provide false hope. High interest rates and high debt levels are setting people up for ultimate failure of losing a home."
In addition, applicants must meet the credit standards of local lenders. "Sometimes it's necessary to focus on customer's credit repair issues first," said Ms. Kinchen.
And applicants must have completed a First Time Home Buyer training program within the last 12 months. The training is critical. "We can definitely tell the difference," says local Realtor and sales manager, Sylvia Mouton, of Belle Terre Properties. The client knows what they want and they ask specific questions."
Best of all, according to Ms. Supple, "when the client comes to closing, they know what to expect."
The development of affordable housing generally and Bayberry Point in particular have made a tremendous difference in the community. The development created construction jobs and stabilized the neighborhood.
The lender receives profitable returns on its loans, and in the case of Whitney National Bank, past-due rates are more favorable than many other mortgage pools.
The Lafayette Consolidated Government benefits from real estate taxes and the indirect economic benefits from the additional jobs that have been created. And most important, more families have places to call home.
For more information, please call the housing department of the Lafayette Consolidated Government at (337) 291-8404, or Wayne Smith at the Federal Reserve Bank, (404) 498-7265.

Warped Tour brings 11,000 to Montage Mountain
A sea of rainbow-painted hair, full-body tattoos and bare skin stretched as far as the eye could see at Vans Warped Tour on Wednesday afternoon at The Pavilion at Montage Mountain.
Some concertgoers waited hours to enter the venue for the all-day music festival because of logjammed traffic simultaneously en route to the RailRiders' double header at PNC Field as well as Montage Waterpark.
More than 11,000 fans packed the mountain as temperatures peaked at 85 degrees with 76 percent humidity, according to AccuWeather reports. Attendees attempted to beat the heat while they enjoyed their favorite bands. Morgan Sledzinski, 17, of Scranton, said she made sure to drink plenty of water to avoid passing out like she did at last year's Warped Tour. Others stripped down to their bathing suits to keep cool.
In addition to hours of live music on 10 stages stretched across the grounds, dozens of vendors hawked band merchandise and music lessons. Other booths pitched educational causes. The Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation used the tour to reach a younger demographic.
"Fifteen to 30 are the primary ages for testicular cancer," said David Campbell, 34, a survivor from Olyphant, adding there is a 95 percent survival rate if the cancer is detected early.
The Canvas Foundation gave visitors a choice of painting their bodies or a mural with a monetary donation for student art supplies that donators could designate for local schools.
The crowd ranged from school-aged to retirees, whose styles could be described as everything from goth to flower child to punk.
"No one gets judged by what they're wearing or how they act," said Jamie Dugan, 15, of Hamden, New York.
"It's a good freedom of expression," added her mom, Tracy Dugan.
Warped Tour also brought together music fans with many different tastes, from rap to ska to hardcore, for a common purpose.
"We're a huge family that just comes for the music," said Scranton resident Cara Lutchko, 17, "Even though there's different genres, we come for one thing."

Founded in 1565 by Spanish explorers, St. Augustine is the oldest city in the United States occupied by Europeans (take that, Jamestown!), and it remained in Spanish hands until it was traded to the British for Havana. But the town has retained much of its Spanish past in some of its homes and larger architecture. "Castillo de San Marcos, the formidable 17th-century structure built by the Spanish to defend La Florida, is the country's oldest fort, and boasts impressive turrets, a moat, and even a double-drawbridge," says Arabella Bowen, executive editorial director for Fodor's Travel. "The town's picturesque historic district is full of old-world atmosphere, historic homes, and easily explored on foot."

Each week, The Columbian offers a brief snapshot of an interesting Clark County business. Send ideas to Mary Ricks: email@example.com; fax 360-735-4598; phone 360-735-4550.
Owners: Matt Wiard.
Address: 11000 N.E. 117th Ave.
What the business does: Earthworks specializes in new and existing sewer and septic system construction and replacement. The company also does any work related to excavation, including all phases of residential, commercial and light industrial site development.
Steps to build your business: Owner Matt Wiard said he is focusing on getting new customers through networking and word of mouth, which he thinks is the best way for him to build his business. He will maintain existing relationships with loyal clients. Wiard is expecting a fair volume of new customers in coming years as the economy continues to improve.
Greatest challenge: Wiard said trying to keep ahead of a busy work schedule with a crew that focuses on safety, while staying in control of products and customers, is a challenge. Earthworks meets with each customer personally on site to make sure everyone gets what they are promised. When customers need emergency work, making time in an already busy schedule can be difficult.
What's ahead: Wiard wants the company to continue to stay diversified and not depend on one sector or field within the excavation industry. He said the business is holding steady for the immediate future.
Owner's business history: Wiard worked for several local excavation contractors while attending high school and college before starting Earthworks.
Year established in Clark County: 1999.
Employees: Four.

One says playing with violent toys as a child leads to violent adults…the other says that's outrageous! We're going to put the argument to bed once and for all…do violent toys lead to violent adults?
Slacker and Steve understand both sides of this argument… Steve's sister actually banned all guns when his nephew was growing up; he's soon going off to college. Slacker's son makes shooting noises… boys will be boys. This argument gets a little sticky since he already has the water gun, but the concern of what happens when he is invited to a birthday party with them present; will he not attend?
Whose side are you on for today's Great Mate Debate?
I grew up in a family that hunted… When my little brother was about three we went for a drive in the mountains to scope out some deer. My dad saw one and told my little brother to shoot it… He pulled out his pop gun and was very upset that he missed… I understand where she is coming from, but I believe that if they embrace it and teach him the safety it will be much more valuable.

Definitley HIS SIDE
Yi, My name is Dobie, I can't believe what I am hearing today on the GMD... The idea that letting a 6 year old boy play with a WATER GUN will turn him into a criminal???!! First thing that is one of the most absurd things I have heard in a while and trying to base this on the idea that we live in violent times?? If you want to make sure that he doesn't grow up to be a criminal then it is your job as a parent to make sure he is taught right from wrong!! I am a psychology major and specialize in the study of criminal behavior. Criminal behavior and aggression can totally be influenced by our society but, you also have to realize that if you raise your child correctly then they will know the difference between right and wrong. You mentioned that playing violent video games can turn children into criminals? This is completely false and proven studies show that children have shown no increase in their aggressive behavior and lack of empathy towards people (or victims) because they play violent video games or play with toy guns... You need to realize that the media doesn't directly influence your child's behavior and you must as a parent teach them the differences between play and real. Let your child experience the many different things that are apart of childhood. On the other hand, I understand that your husband went against your wishes and that was wrong on his part. I understand that you have issues related to firearms, but he is not playing with a firearm he is playing with a plastic toy that sprays water like that of a water hose. You need to explain to your son the differences and you as a parent alongside your husband should be able to figure out a positive way of speaking and teaching your child the differences in "real" guns and "toy" guns.

It is fitting that today Washington and Lee honors an influential voice in media ethics, Susan Elizabeth Tifft. We were, after all, one of the first universities to incorporate into our curriculum the academic study of journalism in society, emphasizing professional responsibility and journalistic integrity. We strive to view journalism, and, indeed, all of our disciplines, in the context of honor, personal integrity and duty. So does Susan Tifft.
Tifft holds a bachelor's degree in English from Duke University and a master's degree in public administration from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. Duke selected her to speak for her class at her 1973 graduation, and, as the first member of her alma mater's young-trustee program, she served on Duke's board.
Tifft embarked on her renowned and prolific career in journalism at Time magazine, where she worked as a national writer and associate editor from 1982 to 1991. She has published hundreds of articles in such widely ranging and widely read publications as Time, The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Smithsonian Magazine, the Chicago Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, Glamour, and Working Woman, to name but a few.
In 1999, Tifft co-authored with her husband, Alex Jones, the best-selling and award-winning book The Trust: The Private and Powerful Family Behind The New York Times. It is, in itself, a mammoth work of journalism that illuminates the role and the power of that newspaper, and the ethical implications of the many complicated decisions involved in daily journalism. Her first biography, also co-authored with Jones, was The Patriarch: The Rise and Fall of the Bingham Dynasty, an acclaimed account of the family behind the Louisville, Kentucky, newspapers. Today Tifft is the Eugene C. Patterson Professor of the Practice of Journalism and Public Policy Studies at Duke University. She recently received the ultimate tribute from Duke, which created the Susan Tifft Undergraduate Teaching/Mentoring Award. The university will give it each year to the person who best embodies Susan Tifft's gift and passion for teaching.
In our society's understanding of how to parse the ever-increasing flow of information through news outlets, Tifft is an important voice. She brings to her readers remarkable insight into print and broadcast journalism, and a profound understanding of the media, their owners, and the influences that shape them. William Ascher, former director of the Sanford Institute of Public Policy at Duke, described Tifft as "among the few practicing journalists who are exploring the role of media in the policy-making process and the ethical responsibilities of journalists."
For her leadership, high attainments and moral influence in the profession of journalism, Washington and Lee is proud to confer upon Susan Tifft the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
Most unemployed people would prefer a temp job to remaining out of work. It's a paycheck, after all, and in some cases, temp jobs can even lead to full-time, benefited work. But for a new breed of permatemps, that temporary work might turn out to more permanent than they'd bargained for -- and not in way they'd hoped.
NBC News has a fairly horrifying story about the rise of permanent temps, people who have taken temporary work to see them through tough times, and then wound up stuck in a cycle of insecure employment.
They interview Kenneth Foreman, a 49-year-old worker who was laid off from his tech job in 2006 and has relied on temp jobs ever since.
"They are not even required to give me notice," he said. "I could come in one day and my badge won't work and they'll say that you were relieved."
Forty percent more people worked at temporary jobs in June 2012 than they did two years ago. Lest you think any added jobs is good news, the article points out that a rise in temporary jobs doesn't necessarily mean anything positive about the prospects for permanent employment.
Nigel Gault, chief U.S. economist for IHS Global Insight, tells NBC that companies are "not willing to commit to full-time, permanent employees."
He also says that temp workers might find it harder to get permanent jobs, once they're available, due to the fact that they'll be competing with folks who have been able to wait out the tough economy before making a switch.

According to the International Crisis Group, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) released an official statement on 17 May 2009 acknowledging that the civil war had ended, and on 19 May 2009 the Sri Lankan government announced LTTE leader Prabhakaran's death (16 June 2009). Several sources indicate that the government announced the end of Sri Lanka's civil war on 18 May 2009 (HRW 3 June 2009; IANS 9 June 2009; Reuters 2 June 2009), while an article by the United Nations (UN) Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN) indicates that President Mahinda Rajapaksa declared victory on 19 May 2009 (16 June 2009).
The Guardian reports that the UN and western governments have accused the Sri Lankan government of using heavy artillery in a "no-fire zone" that resulted in civilian casualties during the final stages of the war (4 June 2009). Sources indicate that the Sri Lankan government stopped attempts to "institute an inquiry into alleged war crimes" at the UN Human Rights Council session on Sri Lanka (The Economist 4 June 2009; Reuters 11 June 2009). The International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research (ICPVTR), which operates out of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, indicates that the session was also called to investigate allegations that the LTTE used civilians as "human shields" (25-31 May 2009). According to the Human Rights Tribune, a Geneva-based website that publishes news and analysis on international human rights issues (21 Feb. 2008), the Sri Lankan government, supported by 12 allies, submitted a resolution before the session effectively resisting council scrutiny by invoking "'the principle of non-interference'," which is used for issues deemed to be domestic (22 May 2009). The ICPVTR reports that the final resolution – describing the conflict as a domestic matter – was supported by 29 votes and opposed by 12, while 6 countries abstained from voting (25-31 May 2009).
In early June 2009, the Sri Lankan parliament extended the state of emergency in Sri Lanka for an additional month (BBC 9 June 2009; IANS 9 June 2009). Sri Lanka has been under a state of emergency for most of the last 30 years and extensions must be voted on every month (ibid.; BBC 9 June 2009). In early July 2009, the state of emergency was extended again (AP 7 July 2009). This measure gives the military and police the ability to arrest and detain people without charge (BBC 9 June 2009; AP 7 July 2009). The Economist suggests that military recruitment has increased as the government attempts to de-mine and secure territory gained during the war (4 June 2009). Another Economist article indicates that the Sri Lankan army plans to recruit between 100,000 and 300,000 more soldiers (11 June 2009; see also Asia News Network 9 June 2009).
Civilians in IDP Camps
Sources indicate that the number of civilians in temporary camps (internally displaced persons, IDPs) in Sri Lanka is approximately 280,000 (UN 18 June 2009; Christian Science Monitor 19 June 2009) to 300,000 (The Globe and Mail 23 May 2009; International Crisis Group 16 June 2009). Civilians in these camps are not allowed to leave and have been prohibited from relocating with relatives or host families (ibid.; Asia News Network 9 June 2009). In July 2009, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) stated the following in regard to those living in the camps:
[the] lack of freedom of movement remains the overriding concern for this population, restricting its ability to reunite with family members outside the camps, access employment, attend regular schools, and ultimately choose their place of residence.
Government officials indicate that the need to de-mine northern Sri Lanka is delaying the relocation of civilians back to their homes (AP 18 July 2009; The Economist 11 June 2009). However, an 18 July 2009 Associated Press (AP) article suggests that de-mining experts consider the issue of de-mining to have been exaggerated. Additionally, the Sri Lankan government has communicated that civilian mobility has been restricted because authorities are searching for LTTE members who are suspected of hiding in the camps (UN 16 June 2009; AP 24 May 2009; Christian Science Monitor 19 June 2009).
The International Crisis Group indicates that those who are suspected of collaborating with the LTTE are separated from their families and brought to undisclosed locations for questioning (16 June 2009). According to the Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) and the International Crisis Group, no register of IDPs and those detained on suspicion of LTTE collaboration has been released, making it impossible to track them (AHRC 16 June 2009; International Crisis Group 16 June 2009). Reportedly, the government has admitted to the removal of approximately 10,000 people for questioning (AHRC 16 June 2009; AP 18 July 2009). The Globe and Mail reports that there are three "tiers" of camps based on different levels of security screening (23 May 2009). The camps in the first tier are referred to as "welfare villages" where the majority of IDPs are located; there are "rehabilitation centres" for suspected members of the LTTE; and there is one "high-security facility" in southern Sri Lanka where suspected senior-level LTTE members are located (The Globe and Mail 23 May 2009).
Both the AHRC and the International Crisis Group have indicated that they are concerned about disappearances of IDPs (AHRC 16 June 2009; International Crisis Group 16 June 2009). Citing INFORM, a human rights organization in Sri Lanka that gathered testimonies from the relatives of IDPs, AHRC estimates that 20 to 30 youth are removed from camps each day and their whereabouts are unknown (16 June 2009). The spokesperson for INFORM stated in an interview with Sinhala BBC Service that "persons wearing hoods are brought into the IDPs camps and that they indicate by signs as to whether one of the IDPs had connections with the LTTE or not"; those identified positively are removed from the camp (AHRC 16 June 2009).
The Globe and Mail reports that those detained in rehabilitation centres are made to identify other LTTE members (23 May 2009). Corroborating the above AHRC information, The Globe and Mail article quotes the director of health services in Trincomalee as saying that suspected LTTE members are "'taken before a group of men with hoods over their heads, who nod or shake their heads to say if they are fighters'" (23 May 2009). The article further notes that Tamils who lived in the LTTE-controlled north of Sri Lanka must undergo the screening process at a camp "if they wish to return to normal civilian life" (The Globe and Mail 23 May 2009).
In a 9 June 2009 operational update, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) reports that they have visited approximately 5,000 people with links to the LTTE who are in rehabilitation centres. The ICRC continues to "work as a neutral intermediary between remaining LTTE personnel and the Sri Lankan government," and performs such tasks as "relaying information about individuals wishing to surrender" and maintaining records on those who have surrendered (9 June 2009).
The Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers indicates that "children (under-18s) are being abducted from refugee camps and from Vavuniya town in northern Sri Lanka by paramilitary groups who enjoy tacit support from the Sri Lankan government" (20 May 2009). Additionally, the Coalition states that "verified reports" indicate that the recruitment of children by paramilitary forces is occurring in the eastern districts of Batticaloa and Trincomalee (Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers 20 May 2009). Humanitarian workers relayed to the Coalition that the abductions were occurring at night when "scrutiny is minimal" and that the children "appear to have been abducted for alleged links to the LTTE, while others are kidnapped for ransom" (ibid.). In a July 2009 update on the situation of children, the Coalition indicated that it continues to receive reports of abductions perpetrated by "pro-government armed groups" (ibid. 28 July 2009). The Coalition considers the lack of independent monitoring at the camps a risk to the safety of child IDPs (ibid. 20 May 2009).
Sources indicate that access to the IDP camps has been restricted for civil society organizations and media (AHRC 16 June 2009; The Globe and Mail 23 May 2009). Though some humanitarian aid organizations have been permitted to enter the camps, there are sections of the camps that remain restricted (UN 5 June 2009; BBC 1 June 2009; The Globe and Mail 23 May 2009). According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), as of 18 June 2009, access to camps in Vavuniya had improved, though there were still "some delays." Additionally, two UN staff were arrested in June 2009 (UN 20 June 2009). The UN Country Team in Sri Lanka released a statement on 20 June 2009 indicating that the UN is in contact with the government regarding the arrests (ibid.). Information on whether they have been released could not be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate.
Sources indicate that the living conditions within the camps are "unsatisfactory" (UN 11 June 2009; BBC 1 June 2009). An IRIN article relays that World Vision perceives the provision of water and sanitation to be a "major issue" at many of the 40 camps (UN 11 June 2009). Additionally, due to poor sanitation, diseases are spreading throughout the camps (ibid.; AP 24 May 2009). It is anticipated that upcoming seasonal rains will exacerbate the health situation (UN 11 June 2009; Asia News Network 9 June 2009; UN 18 June 2009). Specifically, Menik Farm camp, which is located outside Vavuniya in northern Sri Lanka, is said to hold 210,000 (AP 18 July 2009) to 220,000 people (UN 11 June 2009). It is overcrowded, with 10-15 people in tents designed for 5 (ibid.; AP 18 July 2009).
IRIN estimates that 13 percent of the IDP population in camps are children under 5 years of age and that approximately 10,000 children suffer from malnutrition (UN 5 June 2009). The Globe and Mail, citing UNICEF figures, estimates that 40 percent of the IDP population in camps are children (23 May 2009). Though UNICEF has the capacity to construct 21 nutrition centres at the camps, the organization indicated that it is having "access difficulties", which prevent it from meeting all needs (UN 5 June 2009). Another IRIN article suggests that obtaining food for infants and lactating mothers is an ongoing issue within the camps (UN 11 June 2009). According to OCHA, approximately 75,000 IDPs living in camps are women and girls in need of "basic hygiene support and reproductive health care" (UN 18 June 2009). An estimated 6,000 are pregnant and in need of obstetric care (ibid.).
According to the Christian Science Monitor, the Sri Lankan government has accused those who speak out against the conditions in the camps – opposition leaders and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) – of engaging in a "political ploy" to discredit the government (19 June 2009). An AP article reports that aid organizations have been asked to sign agreements dictating that they will not issue public statements about camp conditions, unless authorization has been given (18 July 2009).
IDP Resettlement
Sources indicate that the Sri Lankan government has committed to resettling IDPs within six months (Reuters 11 June 2009; Christian Science Monitor 19 June 2009). However, the Christian Science Monitor quotes the spokesperson for the World Food Program as saying that "'the government has not put forth a clear plan for all these returns to take place within six months'" (19 June 2009). The Globe and Mail reports that a military official indicated that IDPs could be in the camps for approximately two years and that the chief of the UNICEF office in Trincomalee planned their support based on the assumption that IDPs would be in camps for up to three years (23 May 2009). An article in Bloomberg.com reports that the Foreign Minister of Sri Lanka stated in July 2009 that approximately 60 percent of IDPs will be able to return to their homes by the end of 2009 (30 July 2009; AP 18 July 2009). The UN has released figures indicating that 3,054 people have been permitted to relocate to host families and homes for the elderly as of 11 June 2009; the majority of those who have relocated are elders, people with learning disabilities and members of "other vulnerable groups" (18 June 2009). The UNHCR provided an update to these figures in July 2009, stating that 5,483 IDPs, most of whom are elderly, have been released from the camps (UN July 2009).

IN INCREASING NUMBERS of nations, courts are significantly involved in the making of public policy. Particularly given the rise in the status of rights in modern liberal discourse, courts have been able to apply legal reasoning and decision makingtoareasofpublic policy that have traditionally been the province of more "political" branches of government. Judicial review, while largely originating in the United States, has spread to other liberal democracies in recent decades. In fact, while the U.S. federal courts have withdrawn from a period of rights-based activism and have been applauded by scholars of both the political left and right, high courts in other countries have picked up where the American courts have left off, often surpassing the Americans in their level of aggressive judicial policy making.
This phenomenon can be clearly seen with the issue of the legal status of sexual minorities. Many of the most groundbreaking and aggressive decisions concerning gays and lesbians have come from courts outside the United States. In the case of M. v. H. the Canadian Supreme Court held that a statute defining a spouse as only a member of the opposite sex was impermissible under Section 15(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.1 This resulted in direct policy changes. The federal and provincial governments have amended scores of statutes to include same-sex couples where benefits are given for common law marriages, which include many of the same rights given for solemnized marriages, and two provinces, Quebec and Nova Scotia, have adopted Vermont-style civil union laws.2 Building on M. v. H., courts in several provinces and one territory have recognized same-sex marriages, and the federal government is poised to extend this policy to the entire nation.3
It is difficult to envision the U.S. Supreme Court handing down such a ruling. As recently as 1986, the Court ruled in Bowers v. Hardwick that there is no right to privacy for same-sex sex acts in the Constitution.4 Although some activists and commentators see the decision in Lawrence v. Texas, which overturned Bowers, as a step in the direction of court recognition of same-sex marriage, this appears unlikely in the short term. U.S. federal courts have been generally unresponsive to aggressive gay rights adjudication. In fact, state courts, rather than federal courts, have handed down the bulk of decisions favorable to lesbians and gay men. In the past decade, the high courts of several states have struck down sodomy laws, and three state supreme courts and several lower state courts have ruled that prohibition of the recognition of same-sex relationships is unconstitutional. Both developments will be examined in later chapters.
Ultimately, this book attempts to address the following questions: What accounts for the differences in the approaches of national courts systems in the

apart from the obvious like the cheating at poker outfit, what benifits are gained from all the other outfits you can collect in the game? and are they worth the bother of collecting?
100% completion achievement/trophy.
From Red Dead Wiki: http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/Outfits
These 13 outfits are available in all versions of the game.
* Cowboy Outfit: This is Marston's typical bounty hunter attire, and the one he wears at the beginning of the game. It conveys no particular benefit except extra room in the pants for his massive cock.
* Duster Coat: This is the Cowboy outfit with a brown duster over it. This is achieved once the player receives the honor level "peacemaker". No additional bonus, however it can be worn without clothes underneath for flashing children and ladies.
* Elegant Suit: Bought from the tailor in Thieves' Landing. Wearing this suit allows the player to cheat at poker. Obtaining this outfit will also score the player the He Cleans Up Well! achievement and make you a smooth motherfucker.
* Legend of the West Outfit: Once unlocked, Marston has more Dead Eye than usual and looks fucking badass.
* Bandito Outfit: Banditos and outlaws in Mexico consider you a friend until you take aggressive action. Free burritos and handjobs in Escalera.
* U.S. Marshal Outfit: This is achieved by beating all US gang hideouts in 24 GAME hours. This is required for 100% game completion. If you have already beat half the hideouts, gangs will return. While wearing this, US Posses and Marshals will not pursue you. The people in Thieves' Landing will shoot at you on sight, kill those niggers.
* Bollard Twins Outfit: Bollard Twins gang members consider you a friend until you take aggressive action. This consists of the Cowboy Outfit with leather chaps and a red scarf. You can now participate in circle jerks around the campfire.
* Mexican Poncho: A musty old poncho. A souvenir of your travels in Mexico, along with AIDS. No added bonus when wearing this outfit except looking like a dirty spic.
* Reyes' Rebels Outfit: Disguise yourself as one of Reyes' Rebels. Mexican Law posses and the Mexican Army won't pursue you, but they will stick their fingers inside you.
* Rancher Outfit: Marston's typical attire when tending the ranch at Beecher's Hope. No additional benefits except looking like a total faggot.
* Treasure Hunter Outfit: Treasure Hunters consider you a pretty lady until you take aggressive action.
* U.S. Army Outfit: Makes you look like an enlisted US Army man. Marshals will treat you with respect and free passes at the glory hole in the latrine.
* Bureau Uniform: Acquired upon reaching 100% game completion. Dress like a federal bureau agent and the law won't be able to touch your cockandballs (complete amnesty from the law and the gays).

Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

Comments about S De Scherrer By Jean Louis Scherrer:
I bought this scent without knowing it (the description was so appealing) . Well yesterday, I used S Scherrer for a birthday party for the first time. It opened up with a sexy oriental but modern aura. After a one hour it dried down to a beautiful deep exotic flowery aroma (not sweet, not crisp, but deep, sexy and creamy). When I woke up this morning, the scent was still there! I am very pleased with the scent, it is better than I expected. A unique beautiful very longlasting aroma without been aggressive at all.

Comments about S De Scherrer By Jean Louis Scherrer:
I made this my signature scent. It does draw many comliments from males and females. It's light enough for daily use, yet definitely sexy for evening. I ordered several parfums from this company and I have always received everything [...] in mint condition. I used to buy my parfums at designated boutiques, with this site, it's the only way to go! You save soooo much money!

Sax-Zim today (photos too!)

I had a fantastic time during my 4 hours at Sax-Zim Bog today! One of thebiggest highlights was seeing 10 Rough-legged Hawks throughout themorning/afternoon. Of the 10, 9 were light morphs and 1 was a dark morph.There was one instance when I observed 5 Rough-legged Hawks in the air atone time (4 through binoculars)!Sax-Zim Bog photo gallery for this winter (started today):http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/sax-zim_bog_2010_gallery5 Rough-legged Hawks in one photo:http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/130011318Rough-legged Hawk (dark morph):http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/130011337My favorite Rough-legged Hawk (light morph) photos:http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/130011343http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/130011374http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/130011350Red-tailed Hawk (juvenile "eastern"):http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/130011390http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/130011397http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/130011394http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/130011394Snow Buntings:http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/130011410<%20http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/130011410>http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/130011413<%20http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/130011413>While observing the Red-tailed Hawk in the field, I was unsure about thisbird being of the "Eastern" race or a Harlan's. After studying the bird alittle more, as well as looking at the photographs, I'm leaning towardsjuvenile "Eastern" Red-tailed Hawk. This bird is a juvenile due to theterminal edge on the wing (rear-facing portion on the wing). Adult "Eastern"Red-tailed Hawks' tails tend to be flush rufous in color, with a blacksubterminal band (inset dark band, from the end of the tail). Western adultRed-tailed Hawks typically show some degree of even barring throughout thetail. Juveniles of both Eastern, Western, and Harlan's can show barredtails. The Red-tailed Hawk in my photograph has a lighter and warmer-tonedbrown head, which is a coloration not typically found throughout the headsof Harlan's Red-tailed Hawks. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!Tomorrow's winds look gusty from the NW, eventually turning N over the nexttwo days. There is a chance for a significant songbird/raptor movement soon!Good birdwatching,Erik BruhnkeDuluth, MNNATURALLY AVIAN - Bird photography and guided bird email@example.com or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-netArchives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html

Angelina Jolie's performance in Clint Eastwood's film (which was originally being called Changeling, but I think is now being called The Exchange) is receiving a warm response from critics, with the film emerging as a likely favorite for the esteemed Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Additionally, rumor has it Angie's getting earmarked for a Best Actress Oscar when awards season comes around again.
As for Clint, he and his wife, Dina and their enjoyed the French Riviera like the rest of those sun-loving celebs at Hotel Eden Roc in Cap d'Antibes, which I believe is the same place where Lily Allen flashed her ladies. Sadly, the timing was such that a photo-op of Lily and Clint comparing ta-tas never took place.

Throughout Arizona State's three-man quarterback competition, Todd Graham always had said he prefers one to take the job, but he hasn't ruled out playing two.
The first-year coach mentioned it again after watching the Sun Devils scrimmage late Saturday night, a key evaluation period for sophomores Taylor Kelly and Mike Bercovici as well as redshirt-freshman Michael Eubank. Until then, each had gotten first-team reps in preseason camp, but Graham said that's about to change.
"You'll probably see two guys get the majority of the reps (this) week,'' said Graham, adding that he hopes to have one quarterback in place once the team returns from Camp Tontozona, where the Sun Devils train Wednesday through Saturday. "(But) two guys could play."
Saturday's scrimmage -- like most daily 11-on-11 competition -- was closed to media, so it's difficult, if not impossible, to properly evaluate the quarterback battle. Still, many signs point to Kelly and Eubank emerging as favorites. Kelly, like he has in most of ASU's full-squad practices, got the first first-team reps in Saturday's scrimmage, although all three quarterbacks worked with the first team.
For the past two years, Kelly, a dual-threat option, never has blown away spectators, but he somehow manages to get things done, which is why former coach Dennis Erickson always referred to the Eagle, Idaho, native as "a baller." Graham and offensive coordinator Mike Norvell like the way Kelly manages ASU's two-back offense. And although he threw an interception Saturday, he limits turnovers, a key in this competition.
"I thought I did pretty good (in Saturday's scrimmage)," Kelly said. "I moved the offense good throughout the scrimmage. I had one turnover ... but I thought our offense showed a lot of improvement."
Eliminating Eubank at this point would be a surprise just because of his potential. The 6-foot-5, 242-pound quarterback from Corona, Calif., might be the least developed passer of the trio, but he also is the best rusher among the three. Graham recently said he couldn't imagine a scenario where Eubank didn't contribute in some way, which means ASU could use him as a starter or in certain packages.
"I'm comfortable with whatever the coaches feel like they need to do to win," Eubank said. "... In my personal opinion, I would like to be (the starter), but if (a platoon situation is) what the coaches feel is best for the team, then I'm all for it. I'm a team player."
Last season, Bercovici beat out Kelly to back up starter Brock Osweiler as a true freshman.
Over the summer, Graham told fans that Bercovici had a slight edge just because of his experience. The Calabasas, Calif., native got initial first-team reps at ASU's first practice, a split-squad session, but since has followed Kelly or Eubank.
"I thought I did well," Bercovici said of his scrimmage performance. "... I felt personally that I got one really good drive going toward the end. Our No. 1 emphasis was not to turn the ball over and I didn't do that. But I personally felt I took too many sacks. And in any offense you never want to go backwards."
Graham and Norvell planned on evaluating the situation Sunday, ASU's first off day of preseason camp. The Sun Devils are back on the field this morning.
"I really feel good about these guys," Norvell said.
"It's not that anybody is playing down. That would probably worry me more if we had three guys that I didn't feel comfortable with, but these guys are all so good. They're just very different. I think if they had a lot of the same skill set, then it'd probably be easier to pinpoint who would be the guy."

A Dark creature with the
appearance of a woman with floor-length black hair and a skeletal,
green-tinged face. Its screams will kill. Seamus Finnigan is particularly afraid of banshees
The Bandon Banshee was supposedly defeated by Gilderoy Lockhart (CS6) but was actually defeated
by a witch with a hairy chin (see CS16). The singer Celestina Warbeck performs with a backing group of banshees
(the King of Serpents)
A wizard-bred Dark creature of enormous power, this extremely poisonous giant serpent (up to 50 feet in length) is brilliant green in color with long thin saber-like fangs and bulbous yellow eyes (see more below). The first basilisk was created by Herpo the Foul thousands of years ago (FW).
A basilisk can live for at least
900 years given an adequate food supply, and as it can eat most vertebrates
(including humans), this is not difficult to achieve. The male can be distinguished
from the female by the scarlet plume on its head, but basilisks are usually
magically rather than normally bred.
Basilisk-breeding has been outlawed since medieval times and in the present day falls under the Ban on Experimental Breeding, but this law has rarely been broken even by Dark wizards, since only a Parselmouth can control a basilisk.
"Of the many fearsome beasts and monsters that roam our land, there is none more curious or more deadly than the Basilisk, known also as the King of Serpents. This snake, which may reach gigantic size and live many hundreds of years, is born from a chicken's egg, hatched beneath a toad. Its methods of killing are most wondrous, for aside from its deadly and venomous fangs, the Basilisk has a murderous stare, and all who are fixed with the beam of its eye shall suffer instant death. Spiders flee before the Basilisk, for it is their mortal enemy, and the Basilisk flees only from the crowing of the rooster, which is fatal to it." (CS16)
The phoenix seems immune to the basilisk's deadly gaze (CS16 ff.)
When unleashed by the Heir of Slytherin using Parseltongue, the basilisk that
lived in the Chamber of Secrets searched the castle for its prey, Muggle-born students, which it apparently could identify by smelling their blood
("I smell blood..." the creature cried as it wandered the
pipes). When its eyes were pecked out by Fawkes, it attacked Harry using its keen sense of smell. Harry killed the
basilisk by thrusting a sword through the roof of its mouth. Harry's arm was pierced by one of the basilisk's
fangs, the poison of which nearly killed him.
Apart from its specific magical powers and long lifespan, many of the characteristics of the basilisk follow naturally from its being a serpent (see). Like more mundane serpents, the basilisk sheds its skin at intervals, and its varied diet is typical of the larger snakes, which tend to pursue larger and larger prey according to their own size and capabilities. It's quite possible that had Harry both retained his wand and been more experienced in Defence Against the Dark Arts, he might have lost his battle against the basilisk in attempting to use Stunning Spells; although not explicitly stated, the basilisk's skin probably has the same armor characteristics as dragon skin, leaving its eyes and the inside of its mouth as its only vulnerable points.
basilisk was portrayed as a serpent with a crown or a white spot on its
head. Cobras, which have such marks, may be the origin of the basilisk
legend..." (pp. 21-22) (c.f. pp. 95-96)
"basilisk" Eng. in the legendary sense means this creature, but also comes from L. "basilicus" royal, so the nickname "King of Serpents" is particularly apt. The detail about males being crested appears to come from the real-life basilisk, which is a kind of iguana.
According to CS/f, the basilisk that lived in the Chamber of Secrets could be controlled only by the true Heir of Slytherin rather than just any Parselmouth, but there is no canon backing for this.

Like Hagrid, Fang much fiercer than he is. Fang accompanies Hagrid into the Forbidden Forest and also went with Harry, Hermione, Neville, and Draco when they served detention in the Forest. Hagrid told them that Fang is a coward, but this may have been more an oblique comment on Draco's behaviour than the strict truth about Fang. When Harry and Ron followed the spiders into the Forest and encountered Aragog, Fang accompanied with them. When Hagrid resisted arrest late in Harry's fifth year, Fang was injured in attempting to protect Hagrid, but recovered.

Lupin taught his third year Defence Against the Dark Arts class to fight this with the Riddikulus spell (PA7), and used a boggart as a substitute for a Dementor in tutoring Harry (PA12), an experience Harry felt the D.A. really needed in order to learn to cast the Patronus Charm under something resembling realistic conditions (OP27). A boggart was one of the obstacles in the Triwizard Tournament maze (GF31), and a boggart was found infesting a writing desk in the drawing room at Grimmauld Place (OP9).
Alastor Moody once used his magical eye to look up through several flights of stairs and into a writing desk with a boggart inside it. He then told Molly Weasley that in fact the desk contained a boggart, so he obviously saw and identified it. While he may know what a boggart looks like when it's hiding and away from people, it's possible that when he looked he saw nothing but a blur and therefore knew that--since he couldn't even see it--it had to be a boggart. Another possibility is that Moody saw whatever form a boggart takes for him, and deduced that if it were inside a writing desk it must be a boggart and not his actual worst fear.

Found in western England, southern Germany, and Scandinavia, a bowtruckle serves as tree-guardian for its home tree, which is usually a tree whose wood is of wand quality. The twiglike fingers of the bowtruckle appear to be primarily an adaptation like that of a woodpecker's beak, allowing it to more effectively dig out its preferred food of wood lice from its home tree, but they also serve as an effective weapon against the eyes of an opponent. Although ordinarily peaceful, a bowtruckle will attack a human if provoked (which includes perceived assaults upon the bowtruckle's tree as well as the bowtruckle itself). A witch or wizard seeking to take leaves or wood from a bowtruckle-inhabited tree should offer woodlice or fairy eggs to the bowtruckle to placate and distract it (FB, OP13).
