MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian police have arrested six members of a banned Islamic group on suspicion of recruiting followers in Moscow mosques and possessing weapons, the Interior Ministry said on Monday.
Russian authorities are concerned about the prospect of Islamist militants becoming more of a threat outside the heavily Muslim North Caucasus, which is plagued by an insurgency rooted in two post-Soviet separatist wars in Chechnya province.
The Interior Ministry said the detainees were members of the Islamic Revival Party, which was designated as an international terrorist group by Russia's Supreme Court and banned.
Police searching places where the detainees were staying found nine hand grenades and other weapons and ammunition, as well as extremist literature.
It a statement the ministry said leaders and members of the group had been "conducting active recruiting at mosques in Moscow and also distributing extremist literature and drawing other people into illegal activity."
It was not immediately clear whether the group banned in Russia was related to a legal opposition group in the mostly Muslim former Soviet republic of Tajikistan that has the same name. A ministry spokesman declined immediate comment.
President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned of the dangers of religious violence since his inauguration to a six-year term in May. His 13-year rule has been marked by the bloodshed in the North Caucasus and attacks outside the region by militants based there.
Attacks on government-backed Muslim leaders in the Volga River province of Tatarstan in July added to fears of a spread of Islamist violence.
Rights activists say the violence is fuelled in part of heavy-handed police tactics and intolerance for religious beliefs outside the mainstream.

Blackhawks confident in Crawford for Game 5by Brian Hedger / Chicago Blackhawks
|Getty Images
CHICAGO -- The answer, in case anybody's wondering, is that Ray Emery will not start in goal for the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Boston Bruins on Saturday at United Center (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, RDS).
Barring an unforeseen injury to Corey Crawford in practice Friday or during Saturday's morning skate, Emery will remain on the bench for the next chapter of what's already been a memorable Final.
Crawford, who allowed five goals in Chicago's 6-5 overtime win Wednesday that evened the best-of-7 series 2-2, will instead get a shot at redemption, something he's done a couple of times already this season following tough games.
Joel Quenneville was asked Thursday if he'd even consider starting Emery, who went 17-1-0 in the regular season, and the Blackhawks coach squashed the notion quickly.
"No, not at all," Quenneville said. "No, we're very comfortable with Corey. Corey has been rock solid all year for us, and when he's got the [start], he's been outstanding, and he's the biggest reason why we're here [right now]."
Crawford appears to have a particular area of the net he's struggling to cover. Specifically, it's his glove side, and it doesn't matter if that happens to be to the wide side or the short side of the net.
The Bruins are aiming a lot of shots in that direction. In fact, 10 of Boston's 12 goals in the series sailed over, under or just outside Crawford's glove.
"[A] few goals were on the glove-side there," Bruins forward Brad Marchand said Thursday. "There's a ton of really nice opportunities we had there that he saved on the glove side as well some lucky shots."
It's no secret to anybody at this point, including Crawford, who spoke with reporters after Game 4 but not on Thursday.
"It's pretty obvious," he said Wednesday. "I can't start thinking about it. That's when I get myself in trouble, if I start thinking about that. I'm just going to keep playing my game, prepare the way I have and play the way I play. I can't start thinking, 'They're going to go glove every time.' If they end up switching it up, then I'm in trouble."
Quenneville and the rest of the Blackhawks sound confident the issue will get corrected before the end of the series. They're basing their opinions on firsthand knowledge, after watching Crawford bounce back several times this season from goals even he said should've been stopped.
"You know, last night's game was one of those games where pucks were going in," Quenneville said. "We'll visit with that, but all year long Corey has just moved on and he just moves from save to save and it doesn't faze him. I'm sure he'll be excited about getting back in there and get a good practice under our belt in the morning skate, and he'll be back to doing his thing."
Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews concurred and said Crawford's teammates will try to be better defensively in Game 5, particularly blocking long-range shots from the high slot, points and tops of the circles.
"He's had that maturity and that character all year that he's been able to bounce back," Toews said of Crawford. "But to be honest with you, I don't really see anything terribly wrong with the way he played [Wednesday] night. Maybe some of the shots from far out that went in overshadowed some of the stops that he did make, and for the most part I think as forwards we can maybe be a little more responsible and getting in shooting lanes the way they would against us …
"I think there's something to be said about blocking shots and maybe helping our goaltender out a little bit more. I'm not too worried about how he's going to play in the next game."

If you are a typical middle-class American with a full-time job, probably less than last year and the year before.
What�s in your wallet?
If you are a typical middle-class American with a full-time job, probably less than last year and the year before.
In addition to a payroll tax hike that has taken about $30 from the average pay check, the price of gasoline is edging up to about $4 per gallon and the cost of groceries is still climbing.
In addition to any number of miscellaneous expenses, we�re guessing the price of your health insurance has gone up as well. And when is the last time you�ve received a salary increase? For many, it�s been several years.
The upside of this complex economy is that this is a buyers� market for many large purchases. Houses, for example, can be bought for thousands of dollars less than a decade ago. That�s not only because the value of homes has decreased, but also because many are in foreclosure. While that may be a bonus for a buyer, it is a burden for the seller, many of whom have been forced to take money to closings just to unload what had become a white elephant and avoid having the banks take them away.
The question is when or if we will ever return to a state of comfort where our salaries keep pace with the cost of living or the cost of living drops within an affordable range.
The subtle shift from an industrial society to an information age within the last 10 years has thrown a wrench in the works for common business models. It shuttered our factories and put people on unemployment rolls.
The new age is unpredictable. What worked last year may not work next. We haven�t been here before; thus we can only guess where we�re headed. There are no models for the digital age. Almost all businesses have been forced to change how they operate.
Points of reference for idyllic economic times include the post-war era of the 1950s, but no sustainable periods since. Even that era has been lost for comparison among those of Generation X who starting their own businesses or that are heavily invested in a career.
And then, of course, there are millions who are still unemployed, victims of downsizing and the turn of the economy.
It looks as if the economy will remain unstable for quite some time. And most of those who can remember the �50s won�t be around to see if those times return.
We can heed some good advice from those who survived the Great Depression: scrimp, save, work hard and hang on.

How It Works
It Makes Sense
Because HUD is motivated to provide affordable housing, it will consider offers below a foreclosed home's market value, and often provides special discounted buyer programs for those who qualify. Other government houses for sale, such as VA foreclosures and Tax foreclosure properties, all have different methods of getting to the same result: their desire to sell outweighs their desire to turn a profit against the real estate market. This puts big rewards within in the reach of smart buyers.
Who Can Buy HUD Homes
Anyone can buy HUD homes as long as they qualify for financing. Fortunately, special financing and discount programs are regularly promoted by the government. HUD prefers to sell to owner-occupants. So, people looking to live in the home they're buying as a primary residence are given a short priority period to place bids on HUD homes.
If a HUD home is still available after potential owner-occupants have had their opportunity to buy, the property becomes available to all buyers, including investors. While no real estate purchase is simple, HUDforeclosed.com gives you the information you need to navigate the process painlessly and effectively.
Steps to Success
Search: Pick through Hudforeclosed.com's vast database of Foreclosed HUD Homes, VA Foreclosures, Fannie Mae Foreclosures, Freddie Mac Foreclosures, and other Government Houses for Sale. Compare the best deals to find your dream home.
Finance: Check your Credit Report and find a lender willing to arm you with the up-front buying power to bid on HUD homes (hint: hudforeclosed.com can help you find a good lender. It's not as hard as it sounds).
Bid: Place silent bids on the HUD Homes that you're interested in. When you've won, HUD will let you know.

Combination of X3 and 32 nanometer Represents Breakthroughs in Size and Density; Significantly Reduces Manufacturing Cost While Maintaining Performance
ISSCC CONFERENCE, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., Feb. 10, 2009 - SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK) and Toshiba Corporation today announced the co-development of multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash memory using 32-nanometer (nm) process technology to produce a 32-gigabit (Gb) 3-bits-per-cell (X3) memory chip. The breakthrough introduction is expected to quickly bring to market advanced technologies that will enable greater capacities and reduce manufacturing costs for products ranging from memory cards to Solid State Drives (SSD).
"The development of our third-generation 3-bits-per-cell technology on 32nm within one and a half years after the introduction of the first generation of 3-bits-per-cell on 56nm shows the incredibly fast pace necessary to be a world-class producer in today's industry," said Sanjay Mehrotra, co-founder and president, SanDisk. "This allows us to offer higher capacities at compelling form factors while reducing manufacturing costs - all helping to expand our various product lines. This new development highlights SanDisk's deep level of technical expertise and innovation that ultimately benefits consumers."
32nm X3 Technology-Ideal for microSD Applications
The 32Gb X3 on 32nm technology is the smallest NAND flash memory die reported so far, able to fit into the fingernail-sized microSD™ memory card format that has enjoyed widespread adoption in mobile phones and other consumer electronics devices. The 32nm 32Gb X3 is the highest density microSD memory die in the world, providing twice the capacity of a microSD chip on 43nm while still maintaining a similar die area. Advances in 32nm process technologies and in circuit design significantly contributed to a 113mm2 die-size while SanDisk's patented All-Bit-Line (ABL) architecture has been a key enabler to maintain a competitive X3 write performance.
"The 32nm X3 die's small footprint and incredible density will allow for the production of higher capacities of microSD cards than could be manufactured without this technology," said Yoram Cedar, executive vice president, OEM business unit and corporate engineering, SanDisk. "The microSD form factor has grown in popularity due to rising demand for high capacity storage on mobile phones, and X3 will enable us to bring exciting new products to this market."
Based On Key SanDisk Technologies
32nm is the most advanced flash memory technology node to date, requiring advanced solutions to manage the challenges of feature size scaling. 32nm technology combines several innovative technologies to reduce die area more aggressively than the trend-line of Moore's Law.
"32nm technology builds upon SanDisk's successful deployment of immersion lithography in 43nm to implement spacer process without incurring additional investment in capital-intensive lithography equipment," said Klaus Schuegraf, vice president, memory technology, SanDisk. "SanDisk brings its industry-leading 64-bit NAND string length to 32nm, while compensating for bit-to-bit interference effects with innovative programming algorithms and system design."
SanDisk and Toshiba today presented a joint paper on 32nm 32Gb X3 NAND flash memory at the 2009 International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), highlighting the technical advancements that made 32nm possible. Production for the 32nm 32Gb X3 is expected to begin in the second half of 2009.

But probably not anytime soon.
Last month the BBC reported on a new chocolate 3D printer, which is being called "a step towards manufacturing a device able to print flawless 3D objects that taste good."
Now, if you're concerned that this might adversely affect the wreckage, don't be. From the looks of their press release photos, I think we're going to be juuuuuust fine:
(You can read more about the chocolate printer here.)
Not to mention there's already talk of "3D faces." Oh yeah. This is gonna be goooood.
Next, according to Tasteologie, this baking robot is "a little heavy-handed with the spatula."
According to the commenters on Youtube, we will soon all be spatula'd to death. (But 'til then, I'll keep snort-giggling at 0:37 and 1:40)
Thanks to Ananda S. and @glennztees for the snazzy wreckporting. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to learn the binary rap in The Humans are Dead. You know, just in case.

A woman from Alabama, who knew absolutely nothing about sex, fell in love with a man and agreed to marry him. The honeymoon went well and was great fun, but as soon as she got home, she went to see her doctor to question him on some of the new things she'd seen.
"What can I help you with?'' he asked.
''Well first, what is that thing between my husband's legs called?''
''Ma'am,'' he answered, ''that there is called a penis.''
''I see,'' she said. ''Now what is the big thing on the end of the penis called?''
''Why that there is called the head of the penis.''
''I do declare!'' exclaimed the young woman. ''One last question doctor, what are those two big round things about 12 to 14 inches behind the head of the penis?''
''I'm not sure about your husband, ma'am, but on me, they're called the cheeks of my ass!''

Apocalypse Now
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Apocalypse Now is a 1979 epic war film that follows Captain Willard on a dangerous mission to assassinate a renegade Green Beret who has set himself up as a god of a band of brutal guerrillas in the jungles of Cambodia. It is a very loose adaptation of the 1902 novella Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.
- Directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Written by Francis Ford Coppola and John Milius.
The Horror. . . The Horror. . .taglines
Colonel Walter E. Kurtz[edit]
- I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare: crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor and surviving.
- I've seen horrors, horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that, but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror! Horror has a face, and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies.
- I remember when I was with Special Forces. Seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile: a pile of little arms. And I remember I...I...I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized, like I was shot — like I was shot with a diamond...a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God, the genius of that. The genius! The will to do that: perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we, because they could stand it. These were not monsters. These were men, trained cadres — these men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who have children, who are filled with love — but they had the strength — the strength! — to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling, without passion, without judgement. Without judgement! Because it's judgement that defeats us.
- We train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders won't allow them to write "fuck" on their airplanes because it's obscene!
- I worry that my son might not understand what I've tried to be. And if I were to be killed, Willard, I would want someone to go to my home and tell my son everything – everything I did, everything you saw – because there's nothing that I detest more than the stench of lies. And if you understand me, Willard, you will do this for me.
- The horror! The horror! [These are Kurtz's last words, and parallel those of the novella's Mr. Kurtz character.]
Captain Benjamin L. Willard[edit]
- [voiceover] There is no way to tell his story without telling my own. And if his story really is a confession, then so is mine.
- [voiceover] It's a way we had over here with living with ourselves. We cut 'em in half with a machine gun and give 'em a Band-Aid. It was a lie. And the more I saw them, the more I hated lies.
- [reading a letter Kurtz has sent to his son]
Dear son,
I'm afraid that both you and your mother will have been worried at not hearing from me during the past weeks, but my situation here has become a difficult one. I've been officially accused of murder by the Army. The alleged victims were four Vietnamese double agents. We spent months uncovering them and accumulating evidence. When absolute proof was completed, we acted. We acted like soldiers. The charges are unjustified. They are in fact, and in the circumstances of this conflict, quite completely insane. In a war, there are many moments for compassion and tender action. There are many moments for ruthless action — what is often called ruthless, what may in many circumstances be only clarity — seeing clearly what there is to be done and doing it directly, quickly, awake, looking at it. I will trust you to tell your mother what you choose about this letter. As for the charges against me, I am unconcerned. I am beyond their timid, lying morality, and so I am beyond caring.
You have all my faith.
Your loving father."
- [voiceover] They were gonna make me a major for this, and I wasn't even in their fuckin' army anymore. Everybody wanted me to do it, him most of all. I felt like he was up there, waiting for me to take the pain away. He just wanted to go out like a soldier, standing up, not like some poor, wasted, rag-assed renegade. Even the jungle wanted him dead, and that's who he really took his orders from anyway.
- [voiceover] I wanted a mission and for my sins, they gave me one.
- [voiceover] I was going to the worst place in the world, and I didn't even know it yet.
Lieutenant Colonel William "Bill" Kilgore[edit]
- You smell that? Do you smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like . . . victory. Someday this war's gonna end.
- Note: bolded line is ranked #12 in the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 movie quotations in American cinema, and has replaced the full reference in popular culture.
- Charlie don't surf!
- If I say it's safe to surf this beach, Captain, it's safe to surf this beach!
Engineman 3rd Class Jay "Chef" Hicks[edit]
- I used to think if I died in an evil place, then my soul wouldn't be able to make it to heaven. But now, fuck! I mean, I don't care where it goes as long as it ain't here.
- This is dialectics. It's very simple dialectics: one through nine, no maybes, no supposes, no fractions. You can't travel in space, you can't go out into space, you know, without like, you know, with fractions! What are you going to land on: one quarter, three eighths? What are you going to do when you go from here to Venus or something? That's dialectic physics, okay?
- This is the way the world ends. Look at this shit we're in man. Not with a bang, but with a whimper, and with a whimper, I'm splitting, Jack. (Note: This is a variation on T.S. Eliot's The Hollow Men – "This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper".)
- [talking to Willard about Kurtz] Why? Why would a nice guy like you want to kill a genius? Going down pretty good, huh? Why? Do you know that the man really likes you? He likes you. He really likes you. But he's got something in mind for you. Aren't you curious about that? I'm curious. I'm very curious. Are you curious? There's something happening out here, man. You know something, man? I know something you that you don't know. That's right, Jack. The man is clear in his mind, but his soul is mad. Oh, yeah. He's dying, I think. He hates all this. He hates it! But the man's a... He reads poetry out loud, all right? And a voice... He likes you because you're still alive. He's got plans for you. No, I'm not gonna help you. You're gonna help him, man. You're gonna help him. I mean, what are they gonna say, man, when he's gone? 'Cause he dies when it dies, man! When it dies, he dies! What are they gonna say about him? What? Are they gonna say he was a kind man? He was a wise man? He had plans? He had wisdom? Bullshit, man! And am I gonna be the one that's gonna set them straight? Look at me! Wrong! [points to Willard] You!
Lieutenant General Corman[edit]
- Well, you see Willard, in this war, things get confused out there: power, ideals, the old morality, practical military necessity. But out there with these natives, it must be a temptation to be god, because there's a conflict in every human heart, between the rational and the irrational, between good and evil, and good does not always triumph. Sometimes, the dark side overcomes what Lincoln called the better angels of our nature. Every man has got a breaking point. You and I have one. Walter Kurtz has reached his, and very obviously, he has gone insane.
- Colonel G. Lucas: Your mission is to proceed up the Nung River in a Navy patrol boat. Pick up Colonel Kurtz's path at Nu Mung Ba, follow it, and learn what you can along the way. When you find the Colonel, infiltrate his team by whatever means available and terminate the Colonel's command.
- Captain Benjamin L. Willard: Terminate the Colonel?
- General Corman: He's out there operating without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of any acceptable human conduct. And he is still in the field commanding troops.
- Jerry: Terminate with extreme prejudice.
- Lucas: You understand, Captain, that this mission does not exist, nor will it ever exist.
- Engineman 3rd Class Jay "Chef" Hicks: How come all you guys sit on your helmets?
- Soldier: So we don't get our balls blown off.
- [Chef laughs a little, then sits on his helmet.]
- Captain Benjamin L. Willard: Are you crazy, God damn it? Don't you think its a little risky for some R&R?
- Lieutenant Colonel William "Bill" Kilgore: If I say it's safe to surf this beach, Captain, then it's safe to surf this beach. I mean, I'm not afraid to surf this place. I'll surf this whole fucking place!
- Captain Benjamin L. Willard: Who's the commanding officer here, soldier?
- Infantryman: Ain't you?
- …
- Captain Benjamin L. Willard: Soldier, do you know who's in command here?
- The Roach: Yeah.
- [He turns away.]
- Captain Benjamin L. Willard: My mission is to make it up into Cambodia. There's a Green Beret Colonel up there who's gone insane. I'm supposed to kill him.
- Engineman 3rd Class Jay "Chef" Hicks: That's fucking typical! Shit. Fuckin' Vietnam mission! I'm short, and we gotta go up there so you can kill one of our own guys? That's fuckin' great! That's just fuckin' great, man. Shit. That's fuckin'... crazy! I thought you were going in there to blow up a bridge, or, some fucking railroad tracks or somethin'.
- Captain Benjamin L. Willard: Could we, uh, talk to Colonel Kurtz?
- Photojournalist: Hey, man, you don't talk to the Colonel. You listen to him. The man's enlarged my mind. He's a poet-warrior in the classic sense. I mean, sometimes he'll, uh, well, you'll say hello to him, right? And he'll just walk right by you, and he won't even notice you. And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say "Do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? 'If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you'" I mean, I'm no — I can't — I'm a little man. I'm a little man. He's, he's a great man. I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas. (Note: The last sentences here reference first Rudyard Kipling's poem If— and then T.S. Eliot's poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.)
- Colonel Walter E. Kurtz: Did they say why, Willard, why they want to terminate my command?
- Captain Benjamin L. Willard: I was sent on a classified mission, sir.
- Kurtz: It's no longer classified, is it? Did they tell you?
- Willard: They told me that you had gone totally insane, and that your methods were unsound.
- Kurtz: Are my methods unsound?
- Willard: I don't see any method at all, sir.
- Kurtz: I expected someone like you. What did you expect? Are you an assassin?
- Willard: I'm a soldier.
- Kurtz: You're neither. You're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill.

Cubs Add OF Sweeney, RHP Dolis from Triple-A Iowa
CHICAGO - The Cubs have added outfielder Ryan Sweeney and reliever Rafael Dolis from Triple-A before their game against the Texas Rangers.
To make room for them Monday, Chicago designated reliever Kameron Loe for assignment and optioned outfielder Dave Sappelt to its affiliate in Iowa.
The 28-year-old Sweeney has spent time in the majors with the White Sox, Red Sox and Athletics. In 23 games this season at Iowa, Sweeney was hitting .337 with six home runs and 16 RBIs.
The right-handed Dolis has split his season between Triple-A and the Cubs, working a scoreless 1-3 of an inning for Chicago.
Loe was selected off waivers from Seattle on April 14, appearing in seven games with a 5.40 ERA. Sappelt has played in 20 games, hitting .178.

For many who fled the path of hurricane Gustav, there's a sense that the worst is over. But most evacuees also have an unease that won't dissipate until they're able to unlock their own front doors and see for themselves what damage – if any – Gustav wrought in their absence.
"We're a little bit better now because it's gone, but we still have the anxiety of not knowing yet what it did," says Shantrell Nicks, a lawyer and business owner from Gulfport, Miss., who was staying with family in Hattiesburg.
Calls to evacuate because of a hurricane threat have long been a part of life on the Gulf Coast. Yet prior to Katrina in 2005, the last deadly hurricane to hit the city was Betsy in 1965. After that, the Gulf Coast had been pretty much spared, and a kind of evacuation fatigue set in. But the devastation wrought by Katrina and the threat posed by Gustav have brought about a fundamental change in many Gulf Coast residents.
Think of it as the Repeat Evacuation Blues.
As residents left their homes this time, many say they felt far more anxiety than during Katrina – even though this evacuation was far more orderly than the one in 2005.
The experiences of many evacuees elucidated distinctions between those who had their own resources – whether financial or spiritual – and those more dependent on the government for help.
"If you draw on the stress literature, the kind of constant on-the-alert mentality created by the threat of repeated evacuations keeps your physiological stress system activated," says Martha Wadsworth, professor of psychology at the University of Denver who studies the impact of disasters like Katrina. "The folks who are able to be the most resilient through this are people who have lots of good resources, whether it's a well-connected religious community or more financial resources."
With hurricane Gustav downgraded Tuesday morning to a tropical depression, one of the largest evacuations in America's history has been pronounced on the whole a success – especially when compared with the chaos surrounding hurricane Katrina three years ago.
Many of the almost 2 million Gulf Coast residents who jammed Louisiana and Mississippi highways over the weekend in caravans of crowded cars and overloaded buses are ready to turn around and head home.
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin says they could be welcomed back in the "Big Easy" late Wednesday or Thursday, despite the looming storm threat of Hanna, which is now brewing over the Bahamas, and Ike, which is speeding west over the Atlantic.
When the order came down to get out of the way of what was billed as "the mother of all storms," more than 95 percent of people on the Gulf Coast heeded the call.
"People now have it down. They have their bags packed, their photo albums and their documents ready, but the toll [evacuations take] is still enormous," says Alice Fothergill, a sociologist who specializes in displacements and evacuations at the University of Vermont in Burlington.
But many residents also reported more alarm this time. "This evacuation was a lot more panicky because of Katrina," says Sonya Williams of Gulfport, Miss., who was staying with family in Oxford, Miss. "When I left before Katrina, I wasn't as anxious: I gave a little more thought to what I was bringing. Whereas this time, it was: 'Let's just go and get out as soon as we can.' "
Ms. Williams and her son, mother, father, uncle, and grandmother all stayed with her sister in Oxford. While it was a 10-hour drive through bumper-to-bumper traffic Sunday to get there, the family had one another for support. Williams says she joked with her sister about whether she'd had enough of "the refugees," and on Monday, they even had a small Labor Day cookout to ease the anxiety.
Her experience is that of someone who has resources that can help her cope. Before every hurricane season, she puts a little extra in savings. "A hotel room at $130 a night can add up fast," she says. And when a hurricane starts heading to the Gulf Coast, she also starts making hotel reservations east and west, so her family will have somewhere to go wherever it strikes. This time, she had seven extra hotel rooms reserved in Oxford that she was able to turn over to friends who needed a place to stay.
"There's this psychological theory called the 'conservation of resources,' which is used to explain how people adjust to major disasters," says Professor Wadsworth. "The idea is that if you have resources in one area, say financial, you're more likely to have resources in others, like good community support and adequate employment. But vulnerable people tend not to have many resources in any area, so that's a good explanation of why some people are less resilient than others."
Indeed, some people in staying in public shelters expressed higher levels of frustration with their situation as well as the government's response.
On Sunday morning, New Orleans resident Esther Tyson put her children on a bus that was headed to a shelter in faraway Birmingham, Ala. Ms. Tyson then crammed into a small car with her cousin and nieces for what became a grueling eight-hour ride to Hattiesburg, where they found shelter at Oak Grove High School. When they arrived, there weren't enough cots, and food wasn't immediately available. She was tired, irritable, and worried about her children in Birmingham.
She and her cousin, both single moms, had only $100 between them when they left, and that was running out. Now that she is facing at least a few more days in the shelter, Tyson is questioning the motives of the political leaders who demanded 100 percent evacuation.
"This is how they cover their behinds for the Katrina disaster. That's politics for you," she says. "If I'd had to do it again, I'd take my chances and stay. I don't think people understand how depressing and stressful this is."
For Williams and her family, the experience of rebuilding after Katrina – even with all its stumbling blocks – as well as the improved government response this time have reinforced their already-strong sense of faith.
"One thing we know for sure now, that even if we lose everything again, even if we feel like we won't have the energy to rebuild again, we know we can because we've already done it," Williams says. "Material things can always be replaced as long as we have our lives."

Homo sapiens fossils demonstrate a gradual evolution of the human brain towards its modern globular shape
In a paper researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, reveal how and when the typical globular brain shape of modern humans evolved. Their analyses based on changes in endocranial size and shape in Homo sapiens fossils show that brain organization, and possibly brain function, evolved gradually within our species and unexpectedly reached modern conditions only recently.
Scientists discover the oldest Homo sapiens fossils at Jebel Irhoud, Morocco
New finds of fossils and stone tools from the archaeological site of Jebel Irhoud, Morocco, push back the origins of our species by one hundred thousand years and show that by about 300 thousand years ago important changes in our biology and behaviour had taken place across most of Africa.
Original publication (Hublin et al.)
U-series (U-Th) dating of associated calcite formations constrains the age of the Middle Pleistocene cranium between 390,000 and 436,000 years.
An international team recently discovered a fossil human cranium in Portugal. The cranium was excavated in Gruta da Aroeira which is part of the Almonda cave system (Torres Novas, Portugal). The cranium was found in sediments which accumulated on top of a stalagmite column and calcite crusts also formed on the cranium after its burial. U-series dating of the calcite formations was done by Dirk Hoffmann from the Department of Human Evolution, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. The results provided maximum and minimum ages for the cranium and revealed an age between 390,000 and 436,000 years. The Aroeira specimen is the westernmost Middle Pleistocene cranium found in Europe and one of the best dated Middle Pleistocene specimen. It might help elucidate hominin evolution in Europe during the Middle Pleistocene, including the origin of the Neandertals. The study, led by J. Daura from the University of Lisbon, included researchers from Portugal, Spain, Germany and the US.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Lighthouse Restaurant Allowed Male Manager to Sexually Harass Female Employee, Federal Agency Charged
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. – A Northern Indiana restaurant violated federal law when it allowed its manager to sexually harass one of its female employees and create a hostile work environment, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed yesterday.
According to the EEOC's suit (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Faros Inc., d/b/a the Lighthouse Restaurant, Civil Action No. 3:10-cv- 0407- RL), filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Faros, Inc., doing business as the Lighthouse restaurant, subjected one of its female employees to constant unwelcome sexual comments by its male manager.
The EEOC said the restaurant neither has a policy prohibiting sexual harassment, nor does it provide any sort of anti-harassment training. Further, the EEOC said, the harassing manager was the only available person to whom employees could complain about harassment.
Sexual harassment violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The EEOC seeks compensatory damages and punitive damages for the sexually harassed female employee, as well as an injunction enjoining Faros, Inc., d/b/a the Lighthouse Restaurant, from engaging in sex discrimination and requiring it to take other measures to ensure a workplace free of discrimination for current and future employees.
"All employers need to have reasonable and effective avenues for employees to complain about sexual harassment," said Laurie A. Young, regional attorney for EEOC's Indianapolis District Office. "In cases when they do not, the EEOC is ready to take action to defend employees' rights to be free from workplace abuse."
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at: www.eeoc.gov.

10 best cities for a winter vacation
Tamara Hinson, CNN • Updated 10th February 2017

10 Pictures
Cold rains and gray skies make winter
a trial. But hot drinks, snowy slopes, frozen lakes and a bright yellow sun? That's the kind of winter we can all wrap our mittens around.
And winter actually seems to bring out the best in some cities. Here are 10 around the world that make for a great cold-weather
1. Prague
, Czech Republic
With its snow-capped spires and cobbled, winding streets, Prague is a fairytale city that remains relatively tourist-free in winter.
The stunning architecture looks even prettier under a sheet of snow, with one of the most beautiful areas being the old town, with its turrets and Romanesque vaults. Gas street lamps were recently reinstalled throughout the city center, adding a romantic hue to evenings. Cafes here are ideal for escaping the bitter cold.
Choco Cafe
is a great place to take a breather from intense winter sightseeing in the Old Town," says travel blogger
Girl in Czechland
. "It's full of comfy chairs and sofas and they have more than a dozen kinds of hot chocolate, which is so thick you can practically stand a spoon up it in it."
Where to eat:
Lokál Dlouhá. This restaurant is known for its svíčková na smetaně (beef tenderloin and cream sauce).

on the outskirts of Salzburg on Christmas Eve in 1818.
The city's main market is held in the shadow of Salzburg's
fortress, but the one held in Mirabell Square is especially popular with foodies who come to sample local delicacies such as halusky -- pieces of dumpling mixed with fried bacon.

There are several reasons Tromso, known as the capital of the Arctic, is great in winter. It's widely regarded as Norway's most beautiful city and is a base for spotting the northern lights.
There are also several fascinating museums, including the
Polar Museum
, which offers an insight into the history of Arctic expeditions, and the
Tromso Museum
, which is famous for its Sami exhibitions.

Although Iceland's capital city is one of Europe's coldest spots, it has plenty of natural hot springs to warm up in (some of the best can be found in the Nauthólsvík area of the city). The annual
Winter Lights Festival
, which takes place in February, is a spectacular celebration of winter.
Visitors can try their hand at a wide range of winter sports or skate on the city's Tjörnin pond. Many cozy coffee houses sell rúgbrauð -- locally made, dark, sweet bread.
"An unmissable experience during winter is a dip in one of the city's many outdoor geothermal swimming pools," says Eliza Reid, who co-founded
with Erica Green. "There is no experience quite like soaking in these naturally warm waters with snowflakes tickling your nose. Each swimming pool has its own character, and everyone has their favorite."

Penguins land Vokoun, who should help lighten Fleury's workload
A potentially busy offseason for the Penguins began with general manager Ray Shero making a move to bolster a weakness.
The Penguins acquired goalie Tomas Vokoun to replace Brent Johnson as Marc-Andre Fleury's backup.
A starter for the majority of his 14-year NHL career, Vokoun comes at the price of a seventh-round draft pick to the Washington Capitals. The Penguins acquired Vokoun's rights — he was set to become an unrestricted free agent July 1 — and signed him to a two-year, $4 million contract.
The Penguins have $7 million tied into the goaltender position for the next two seasons, but Shero was intent on providing Fleury with someone who's more than simply a capable backup.
"He's a good goalie and a good person," Shero said. "He will make Marc-Andre better."
Shero and Vokoun were quick to diffuse any talk that a goaltender controversy is lurking. Fleury remains the Penguins' unquestioned No. 1 goalie.
But don't expect Fleury to to appear in 69 games next season — he set a career-high with that figure this past season. Many in the organization believe Fleury's heavy workload was responsible for his subpar play in the Stanley Cup playoffs against Philadelphia.
"The goalie position has changed," Shero said. "You need a good tandem now, and I think that's what we have. For Marc to play 69 games, well, that was a lot of games. He never admitted to being tired last season, and he likes to play a lot. But this will make him a better goalie.
"This isn't a knock on Marc-Andre Fleury. This is to make Marc-Andre Fleury better."
Vokoun doesn't have any intention on snatching the starting goalie job from Fleury. He simply wants to win a title.
"I'm not coming to Pittsburgh to be a No. 1 or a No. 2," Vokoun said. "I'll play when they tell me to play. I just want to win."
After being informed by the Capitals that he wouldn't be re-signed, Vokoun received permission to find a trade partner before becoming an unrestricted free agent.
Agent Allan Walsh, who also represents Fleury, quickly negotiated a deal with the Penguins. The talks began last Thursday.
"It was important for me to go to a team where I would feel wanted, to go to a good team," Vokoun said. "It just felt like a good fit for me to be in Pittsburgh."
Vokoun played in Nashville earlier in his career while Shero was the Predators assistant general manager. That relationship played a role in the deal getting done.
"I always want to bring in good people," Shero said. "And I wanted to bring in a good goalie. We're getting all of that with Tomas."
Vokoun missed a large portion of last season with a groin injury. He said he's now 100 percent healthy.
"I feel great," he said. "I can't wait to get to Pittsburgh and meet my new teammates and get started."
Shero acknowledged there's speculation the salary cap for next season will settle around $70 million, which would give the Penguins more room than expected to operate. They currently are locked into about $61 million worth of salary for next season.
Shero said no decision has been made regarding unrestricted free-agent forwards Arron Asham and Steve Sullivan.
"We'll address those guys soon," he said. "We aren't to that point yet."
Shero confirmed to Trib Total Media in December that signing Sidney Crosby to a new contract is the team's top priority this summer.

[Editor's note: Brazilian model Mariana Bridi da Costa died Jan. 24, 2009.]
Jan. 23, 2009 -- Mariana Bridi da Costa, a 20-year-old Brazilian model who has participated in international beauty competitions, is in a hospital in Brazil with a life-threatening infection.
Bridi da Costa, a past finalist in the Miss World Brazil competitions, has a severe blood infection called sepsis (also known as septicemia) that began when she had a urinary tract infection, according to Bridi da Costa's web site. Because of her illness, Bridi da Costa had to have her stomach removed and her feet and hands amputated.
Doctors originally thought Bridi da Costa had kidney stones; instead, she had a urinary tract infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, according to media reports. The infection then spread to her blood.
Bridi da Costa's case is a "terrible situation," but pseudomonas infection causing a urinary tract infection is "exceedingly rare" in young, healthy people in the U.S., says Michael Phillips, MD, a hospital epidemiologist at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York.
Pseudomonas bacteria are present in the U.S., but they don't cause most urinary tract infections. Another bacterium, E. coli, is the leading cause of U.S. urinary tract infections.
Phillips, who isn't treating Bridi da Costa, says that because urinary tract infections caused by pseudomonas bacteria are so rare in healthy, young U.S. adults, there aren't special steps to take to prevent those infections. Phillips encourages patients to see a doctor if they have urinary tract infections and says doctors should take a culture to check the cause of any unusual or persistent urinary tract infections. "Then you can identify the bug and then you're sure that you're on the right antibiotics," Phillips says.
If Bridi da Costa's infection had been diagnosed earlier, it might have made a difference. "That's true with any infection," Phillips says.
Pseudomonas infection doesn't always prompt dramatic illness right away, but it can progress quickly. And pseudomonas bacteria aren't the only bacteria that can lead to sepsis if untreated.
"A wide array of bacteria, once in the bloodstream, can cause what's happened to this young lady," Gordon Dickinson, MD, chief of adult infectious disease at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and the Miami VA Hospital, tells WebMD. Like Phillips, Dickinson says cases like Bridi da Costa's are very rare and that during his career, he's seen "maybe a handful of patients out of the blue with serious pseudomonas infection ... come to the hospital."
Pseudomonas bacteria could travel up through the urinary tract to the kidneys, and then get into the blood and lead to sepsis. Treatment might wipe out or suppress the bacteria, but "the body is so heavily inflamed at that point" and that inflammation can damage the body, says Phillips.
Bridi da Costa's stomach was surgically removed because of internal bleeding. The reason for that internal bleeding isn't clear from her web site. As for her amputations, sepsis can prompt blood vessels in the hands and feet to shut down, leading to tissue death that requires amputation. Sepsis can also cause organs to shut down.

Rams Defeat Purchase for Sixth Straight Skyline Win
Farmingdale State - 77, Purchase College - 72
Farmingdale, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State men's basketball team earned their sixth straight Skyline Conference win after defeating Purchase College, 77-72, this evening in Farmingdale, N.Y.
Tied 28-28 at the break, the Rams started the second half on a 18-2 run, which spanned seven minutes and featured five different players scoring. Farmingdale State increased the lead to 50-33 with 12:47 remaining, before the Panthers responded with a 13-0 run, cutting he deficit to 50-46.
Trailing 69-65 with 2:04 to play, senior guard Michael McNair (Valley Cottage, N.Y./Nyack) connected on a 3-pointer for Purchase, pulling his team within one. Junior guard Joshua Smith (Deer Park, N.Y./Deer Park) scored on a layup on Farmingdale State's next possession to put the Rams ahead 71-68. Farmingdale led by three until Purchase's Marvin Billups (Chester, N.Y./Monroe-Woodbury) hit a layup and was fouled with 19 seconds remaining. Billups missed the free-throw and a chance to even the game at 73. Junior guard Dyshaun Flournoy (Brentwood, N.Y./Brentwood) grabbed the rebound and was immediately fouled. He put Farmingdale State on top 75-72 after connecting on both free-throws. Purchase was unable to hit a game-tying three with five seconds to play and Smith capped off the victory for the Rams with a slam dunk as time expired.
Smith, Flournoy and senior guard Keith Nandin (Queens, N.Y./St. Francis Prep.) each scored 14 points for Farmingdale State.
The Panthers were led by Billups who shot 10-of-14 from the field for a game-high 27 points.
The Rams next will travel to St. Joseph's College for a Skyline Conference game on Saturday, January 15th at 5:30 p.m.

Dear Lauri,
Last night I dreamed I dropped my iPhone in a lake and it sat for an hour underwater. I grabbed it and it worked...Then I was climbing rocks and I saw a snake (diamond back rattler). I looked at it and it turned into rubber, like an old rubber tire. Dee (44) Mission Viejo, CA
Lauri: Have you dropped the ball, so to speak, as far as some communication you were having? The water suggests that something may have gotten a bit too emotional for you... or perhaps the other person became too emotional. None the less, it seems that things have picked back up and all is well despite the pause. The snake is probably connected to this issue in that it represents something you feared could turn into a poisonous situation. But, in the end, you may have realized that you over inflated the seriousness of it and it turned out to be rather benign.
Dee replies: I don't speak with my father. Nor sister. My Aunt and I haven't been close and I have been reaching out to her lately. So there is potential poison everywhere. Long story. As I said, my Aunt Sally and I recently began communicating. We stopped until I figured out what I wanted to say. I actually texted her a few hours ago. It was real and to the point. I can feel her wanting to know me more, yet in her way and that's cool. I was worried and now feel relieved, relaxed and at ease. Calm. Thanks Lauri. I'm starting to dream again and remembering them. My life is on an upward trajectory of clarity.
Fascinating Dream Fact: A recent study out of The University of Montreal collected notes on almost 10,000 dreams from 572 people and found that men's bad dreams typically include natural disasters (floods, fires, volcanoes, earthquakes), being chased, and insects. Meanwhile, women's bad dreams commonly include arguing with a partner or situations that left them feeling humiliated, inadequate, or frustrated.

Parson-Charlie Relationship
The two seem to like each other, despite being adversarial. It is likely that the two enjoy having an intellectual equal. On Parson's side, Charlie is independent and one of the only characters who always seems to understand what Parson is saying, whether real world references or leetspeak is used. On Charlie's side, although Parson holds duty to Gobwin Knob, he is not bogged down by any of the prejudices Erfworlders generally have and has an out of the box method of thinking that Charlie can appreciate.
That said, however, considering the potential damage that Parson could do to him, having an intellectual equal is probably a "pleasure" which Charlie would forgo if he could. Charlie has informed Jillian that he's very concerned that his secrets have been compromised. The most damaging of the secrets about Charlie which Parson has learned so far would probably include:
1: One of Charlie's Rules instructs his Archons to make trouble for their own clients, in order to create new employment opportunities.
2: Charlie has no Warlords or Casters.
3: Charlie never leaves the central tower of his city, whi/sboutch means potential assassins don't need to search the rest of the city to find him..
Charlie will certainly wonder how Parson could have survived the volcano. If he discovers that Parson entered the Magic Kingdom, he may suspect that Parson is a caster.
