The First Liberian Civil War was an internal conflict in Liberia from 1989 until 1997. The conflict killed over 200,000 people and eventually led to the involvement of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and of the United Nations. The peace did not last long, and in 1999 the Second Liberian Civil War broke out.
Samuel Doe had led a coup d'état that overthrew the elected government in 1980, and in 1985 held elections that were widely considered fraudulent. There had been one unsuccessful coup by a former military leader. In December 1989, former government minister Charles Taylor moved into the country from neighboring Côte d'Ivoire to start an uprising meant to topple the Doe government. During the civil war, factions formed around Taylor and those who supported his former soldier with the National Patriotic Front of Liberia, Prince Johnson. Johnson took the capital Monrovia in 1990 and executed Doe, while Taylor's forces, the Armed Forces of Liberia, and Johnson's forces battled for control of Monrovia.
Peace negotiations and foreign involvement led to a ceasefire in 1995 that was broken the next year before a final peace agreement and new national elections were held in 1997. Taylor was elected President of Liberia in July 1997.
Samuel Doe had taken power in a popular coup in 1980 against William R. Tolbert, becoming the first Liberian President of non Americo-Liberian descent. Doe established a military regime called the People's Redemption Council and enjoyed early support from a large number of indigenous Liberian tribes who had been excluded from power since the founding of the country in 1847 by freed American slaves. Any hope that Doe would improve the way Liberia was run was put aside as he quickly clamped down on opposition, fueled by his paranoia of a counter-coup attempt against him. As promised, Doe held elections in 1985 and won the presidency by just enough of a margin to avoid a runoff. However, international monitors condemned this election as fraudulent. Thomas Quiwonkpa, the former Commanding General of the Armed Forces of Liberia who Doe had demoted and forced to flee the country, attempted to overthrow Doe's regime from neighboring Sierra Leone. The coup attempt failed and Quiwonkpa was killed. Large scale crackdowns followed in Nimba County in the north of the country against the Gio and Mano tribes where the majority of the coup plotters came from. The mistreatment of the Gio and Mano tribes fueled ethnic tensions in Liberia, which had already been rising due to Doe's preferential treatment of his own group, the Krahn.
Charles Taylor, who had left Doe's government after being accused of embezzlement, assembled a group of rebels in Côte d'Ivoire (mostly ethnic Gios and Manos who felt persecuted by Doe) who later became known as the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL). They invaded Nimba County on 24 December 1989. The Liberian Army retaliated against the whole population of the region, attacking unarmed civilians and burning villages. Many left as refugees for Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire, but opposition to Doe was inflamed. Prince Johnson, an NPFL fighter, split to form his own guerrilla force soon after crossing the border, based on the Gio tribe and named Independent National Patriotic Front of Liberia (INPFL).
By the middle of 1990, a civil war was raging. Taylor's NPFL soon controlled much of the country, while Johnson began advancing into the capital, Monrovia. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) attempted to persuade Doe to resign and go into exile, but despite his weak position – besieged in his mansion – he refused. ECOMOG, an ECOWAS intervention force, arrived at the Freeport of Monrovia on August 24, 1990, landing from Nigerian and Ghanaian vessels.[2] While making a brief trip out of the Executive Mansion to ECOMOG Headquarters, Doe was captured by Johnson on September 9, 1990, and tortured before being killed. The spectacle was videotaped and seen on news reports around the world.[3][4]
A series of peacemaking conferences in regional capitals followed. There were meetings in Bamako in November 1990, Lome in January 1991, and Yamoussoukro in June–October 1991. But the first seven peace conferences, including the Yamoussoukro I-IV processes failed.
Peace was still far off as both Taylor and Johnson claimed power. ECOMOG declared an Interim Government of National Unity (IGNU) with Amos Sawyer as their president, with the broad support of Johnson. Taylor launched an assault on Monrovia on October 15, 1992, named 'Operation Octopus.'[5] The assault may have been led by Burkina Faso soldiers.[6] The resulting siege lasted two months. By late December, ECOMOG had pushed the NPFL back beyond Monrovia's suburbs. Meetings in Cotonou, Benin, began in July 1993 to agree a ceasefire. The Cotonou Agreement, a treaty between the NPFL, IGNU and Doe's remaining supporters (known as the United Liberation Movement of Liberia for Democracy or ULIMO). A coalition government was formed in August 1993. Yet it and the prior agreements failed due to lack of agreement between the warring factions.
In September 1994, the Akosombo Agreement attempted to replace the coalition with moves towards a democratic government, but IGNU rejected this. The Abuja Accord of August 1995 finally achieved this, but in April 1996 the NPFL and ULIMO again began fighting in Monrovia, leading to the evacuation of most international Non-governmental organizations and the destruction of much of the city.
Peace agreements signed included the:[7]
- Banjul III Agreement (1990-10-24)
- Bamako Ceasefire Agreement (1990-11-28)
- Banjul IV Agreement (1990-12-21)
- Lomé Agreement (1991-02-13)
- Yamoussoukro IV Peace Agreement (1991-10-30)
- Geneva Agreement 1992 (1992-04-07)
- Cotonou Peace Agreement (1993-07-25)
- Akosombo Peace Agreement (1994-09-12)
- Accra Agreements/Akosombo clarification agreement (1994-12-21)
- Abuja Peace Agreement (1995-08-19)
Charles Taylor organized and trained some indigenous northerners in Ivory Coast. During Doe's regime Taylor had served in the Liberian Government's General Services Agency, acting 'as its de facto director'.[8] However, he fled to the United States in 1983 amid what Stephan Ellis describes as the 'increasingly menacing atmosphere in Monrovia' shortly before Thomas Quiwonkpa, Doe's chief lieutenant, fled into exile himself. Doe requested Taylor's extradition for embezzling $900,000 of Liberian government funds. Taylor was thus arrested in the United States and after sixteen months broke out of a Massachusetts jail in circumstances that are still unclear.
On December 24, 1989, Charles Taylor and a small group of Libyan-trained rebels calling themselves the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL) entered Nimba County from neighboring Côte d'Ivoire, attacking the village of Butuo. The raid, mounted by a small group of men, managed to capture some weapons, and then the raiders withdrew to the jungle.[9]
The NPFL initially encountered plenty of support within Nimba County, which had endured the majority of Samuel Doe's wrath after the 1985 attempted coup. When Taylor and his force of 100 rebels reentered Liberia in 1989, on Christmas Eve, thousands of Gio and Mano joined them. While these formed the core of his rebel army, there were many Liberians of other ethnic backgrounds who joined as well. Doe responded by sending two AFL battalions, including the 1st Infantry Battalion,[10] to Nimba in December 1989-January 1990,[11] apparently under then-Colonel Hezekiah Bowen.[12] The AFL acted in a very brutal and scorched-earth fashion which quickly alienated the local people. The rebel invasion soon pitted ethnic Krahn sympathetic to the Doe regime against those victimized by it, the Gio and the Mano. Thousands of civilians were massacred on both sides. Hundreds of thousands fled their homes.
By May 1990 the AFL had been forced back to Gbarnga, still under the control of Bowen's troops, but they lost the town to a NPFL assault on 28 May.[13] By June 1990, Taylor's forces were laying siege to Monrovia. In July 1990, Prince Yormie Johnson split from Taylor and formed the Independent National Patriotic Front (INPFL). The INPFL and NPFL continued their siege on Monrovia, which the AFL defended. Johnson quickly took control of parts of Monrovia prompting evacuation of foreign nationals and diplomats by the US Navy in August.
In August 1990, the 16-member ECOWAS agreed to deploy a joint military intervention force, the Economic Community Monitoring Group (ECOMOG), and place it under Nigerian leadership. The mission later included troops from non-ECOWAS countries, including Uganda and Tanzania. ECOMOG's objectives were to impose a cease-fire; help Liberians establish an interim government until elections could be held; stop the killing of innocent civilians; and ensure the safe evacuation of foreign nationals. ECOMOG also sought to prevent the conflict from spreading into neighboring states, which share a complex history of state, economic, and ethno-linguistic social relations with Liberia.
On 9 September 1990, Doe visited the barely established, newly arrived ECOMOG headquarters in the Free Port of Monrovia. Stephen Ellis says,[14] his motive was to lay a complaint that the ECOMOG commander had not paid a courtesy call to Doe, the Head of State, however, the exact circumstances that led to Doe's visit to the Free Port are still unclear. Doe had been under pressure to accept exile outside of Liberia. However, after Doe arrived, a large rebel force led by Prince Johnson's INPFL arrived at the headquarters and then attacked Doe's party. Doe was captured and taken to the INPFL's Caldwell base. He was brutally tortured before being killed and dismembered. His torture and execution was videotaped by his captors.
Johnson's INPFL and Taylor's NPFL continued to struggle for control of Monrovia in the months that followed. With military discipline absent and bloodshed throughout the capital region, members of ECOWAS created the Economic Community Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) to restore order. The force comprised some 4,000 troops from Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, the Gambia and Guinea. ECOMOG succeeded in bringing Taylor and Johnson to agree to its intervention, but Taylor's forces engaged it in the port area of Monrovia.
In November 1990, ECOWAS invited the principal Liberian players to meet in Banjul, Gambia to form a government of national unity. The negotiated settlement established the Interim Government of National Unity (IGNU), led by Dr. Amos Sawyer, leader of the LPP. Bishop Ronald Diggs of the Liberian Council of Churches became vice president. However, Taylor's NPFL refused to attend the conference. Within days, hostilities resumed. ECOMOG was reinforced in order to protect the interim government. Sawyer was able to establish his authority over most of Monrovia, but the rest of Liberia was in the hands of various factions of the NPFL or of local gangs.
The United Liberation Movement of Liberia for Democracy (ULIMO) was formed in June 1991 by supporters of the late President Samuel K. Doe and former Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) fighters who had taken refuge in Guinea and Sierra Leone. It was led by Raleigh Seekie, a deputy Minister of Finance in the Doe government.
After fighting alongside the Sierra Leonean army against the Revolutionary United Front (RUF), ULIMO forces entered western Liberia in September 1991. The group scored significant gains in areas held by another rebel group – the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL), notably around the diamond mining areas of Lofa and Bomi counties.
From its outset, ULIMO was beset with internal divisions and the group effectively broke into two separate militias in 1994: ULIMO-J, an ethnic Krahn faction led by General Roosevelt Johnson and ULIMO-K, a Mandingo-based faction led by Alhaji G.V. Kromah.
The group was alleged to have committed serious violations of human rights, both before and after its breakup.
In 1993, ECOWAS brokered a peace agreement in Cotonou, Benin. Following this, on September 22, 1993, the United Nations (U.N.) Security Council established the UN Observer Mission in Liberia (UNOMIL), to support ECOMOG in implementing this Cotonou peace agreement. UNOMIL in early 1994 deployed 368 military observers and associated civilian personnel to monitor implementation of the abortive Cotonou Peace Agreement, prior to elections originally planned for February/March 1994. Renewed armed hostilities, however, broke out in May 1994 and continued, becoming especially intense in July and August. ECOMOG, and later UNOMIL, members were captured and held hostage by some factions. By mid-1994, the humanitarian situation had become disastrous, with 1.8 million Liberians in need of humanitarian assistance. Conditions continued to deteriorate, but humanitarian agencies were unable to reach many in need due to hostilities and general insecurity. Factional leaders agreed in September 1994 to the Akosombo Agreement, a supplement to the Cotonou agreement, named after the Ghanaian town where it was signed, but the security situation in Liberia remained poor. In October 1994, in the face of ECOMOG funding shortfalls and a lack of will by the Liberian combatants to honor agreements to end the war, the Security Council reduced to about 90 the number of UNOMIL observers. It extended UNOMIL's mandate, however, and subsequently extended it several times until September 1997. In December 1994, the factions and other parties signed the Accra Agreement, a supplement to the Akosombo Agreement, but disagreements ensued and fighting continued.
In August 1995, the main factions signed an agreement largely brokered by Ghanaian President Jerry Rawlings. At a conference sponsored by ECOWAS, the United Nations and the United States, the European Union, and the Organization of African Unity, Charles Taylor agreed to a cease-fire and a timetable to demobilize and disarm his troops. At the beginning of September 1995, Liberia's three principal warlords – Taylor, George Boley and Alhaji Kromah – made theatrical entrances into Monrovia. A ruling council of six members under civilian Wilton G. S. Sankawulo and with the three factional heads Charles Taylor, Alhaji Kromah and George Boley, took control of the country preparatory to elections that were originally scheduled for 1996.
Heavy fighting broke out again in April 1996. In August 1996, these battles were ended by the Abuja Accord in Nigeria, agreeing to disarmament and demobilization by 1997 and elections in July of that year. 3 September 1996, Sankawulo is followed by Ruth Perry as chairwoman of the ruling council, who served until 2 August 1997.
Elections 1997[edit]
Simultaneous elections for the presidency and national assembly were finally held in July 1997. In a climate hardly conducive to free movement and security of persons, Taylor and his National Patriotic Party won an overwhelming victory against 12 other candidates. Assisted by widespread intimidation, Taylor took 75 per cent of the presidential poll (no other candidate won more than 10 per cent) while the NPP won a similar proportion of seats in both parliamentary chambers. 2 August 1997, Ruth Perry handed power to elected president Charles Taylor.
Liberians had voted for Taylor in the hope that he would end the bloodshed. The bloodshed did slow considerably, but it did not end. Violent events flared up regularly after the putative end of the war. Taylor, furthermore, was accused of backing guerrillas in neighboring countries and funneling diamond monies into arms purchases for the rebel armies he supported, and into luxuries for himself. After Taylor's victory, the country was peaceful enough so that refugees began to return. But other leaders were forced to leave the country, and some ULIMO forces reformed as the Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD). LURD began fighting in Lofa County with the aim of destabilizing the government and gaining control of the local diamond fields, leading to the Second Liberian Civil War.
In 1997, the Liberian people elected Charles Taylor as the President after he entered the capital city, Monrovia, by force. The implicit unrest manifested during the late 1990s is emblematic in the sharp national economic decline and the prevalent sale of diamonds and timber in exchange for small arms.
The 1989-1996 Liberian civil war, which was one of Africa's bloodiest, claimed the lives of more than 200,000 Liberians and further displaced a million others into refugee camps in neighboring countries. Entire villages were emptied as people fled. Child soldiers committed atrocities, raping and murdering people of all ages.
Liberia's civil war claimed the lives of one out of every 17 people in the country, uprooted most of the rest, and destroyed a once-viable economic infrastructure. The strife also spread to Liberia's neighbors, contributing to a slowing of the democratization that was progressing steadily through West Africa at the beginning of the 1990s and destabilizing a region that already was one of the world's most marginal.
Second Liberian Civil War[edit]
The Second Liberian Civil War began in 1999 and ended in October 2003, when ECOWAS intervened to stop the rebel siege on Monrovia and exiled Charles Taylor to Nigeria until he was arrested in 2006 and taken to The Hague for his trial. By the conclusion of the final war, more than 250,000 people had been killed and nearly 1 million displaced. Half that number remain to be repatriated in 2005, at the election of Liberia's first democratic President since the initial 1980 coup d'état of Samuel Doe.
The incumbent Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who initially was a strong supporter of Charles Taylor, was inaugurated in January 2006 and the National Transitional Government of Liberia terminated its power.

Bahrain opens national dialogue with opposition groups
Bahrain opened a new round of dialogue between opposition and pro-regime groups on Sunday, aimed at solving the two-year-old political crisis.
The talks are the first in the country for 18 months and will include members of the loargest opposition group, Al Wefaq, as well as several smaller parties, Al Jazeera reported.
The government will not be directly represented, instead loyalist fronts, such as the National Unity Gathering, will promote the government's positions.
Negotiations stalled in July 2011, when most opposition groups boycotted the talks.
Local media reported a regime spokesman saying "everything is on the table."
The current prime minister, Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, is the longest-serving prime minister in the world, having held office since 1971.
Thursday will mark the second anniversary of the uprising against the ruling monarchy. Although the regime says it has implemented a series of reforms, reports of torture are frequent and widespread.

Taking Spindle Health Seriously
Minimizing machine downtime became all the more important as this shop began targeting higher-production automotive work. To that end, it is in the early stages of implementing predictive spindle monitoring technology to head off problems that could take out key machines for extended periods of time.
Instant Spectrum Analysis
The wireless machine health monitor (MHM) from GTI Spindle provides full predictive maintenance information that is accessible anywhere, anytime, the company says, and there are virtually no limitations of sensor type or number of contact points. The system allows users to access vibration signatures, temperature, pressure and other vital information to ensure machine health.
Closed Loop System For High Speed Spindles
As high speed machining has become more common, machine tool spindle technology has continued to advance. Spindle lubrication has been a special area of concern, and significant improvements have been appearing steadily.
Grinding Spindles Take Grease To Higher Speed
Conventional wisdom has it that grease lubrication is fine for grinding spindles so long as speeds stay fairly low. As speed approaches 10,000 to 15,000 rpm, however, then heat becomes a major problem, leaving little choice but to go to an oil-and-air mist system.
A new remote spindle monitoring technology offers a way to predict spindle issues before they become major problems that adversely affect production.

Perfect Addition to Any Table! Loved the colors when I saw it on-line - even happier when it arrived. It looks great and the tablecloth goes perfectly with all of the Tommy Bahama accessories I already have! September 17, 2013
Paradise in the Winter!! I always use a tablecloth & napkins on my table, in fact in Florida some people think it is a terrible waste of energy! I feel just the opposite! I love the colors and design of Tommy Bahama in the winter, even in Florida, where it does get cold and depressing in the winter. This design reminds me of summer and warms me up. It matches the colors and design in my dining room perfectly! I plan to use this set on Christmas Day! To me, this epitomizes Christmas in Florida! Tropical colors, warmth, beauty! I love it and hope Tommy Bahama continues to put forth beauty like this. December 22, 2012

It's the morning after Emma has decided to stay in Storybrooke and Regina is not happy. She's been up all night reading Henry's story book, and when she finds some pages missing, she's livid. Even so, she puts on her best polite-but-scary face and goes over to see Ms. Swan with a bushel of apples and basically tells her to get out of town or else. Emma doesn't respond well to threats, so it looks like things are going to get heated.

Ask Patty has put together some tips for you to take with you to the car lot. Jot down these questions or print them out and make sure you skim through them before driving off into the sunset.
Before you go on that test drive, check how well made the vehicle is. Are the gaps even between the hood and the fenders? Is the paint smooth? Under the hood, is the wiring neatly bundled and are the metal edges smooth?
- Is the car easy to get into and out of?
- Make sure to sit in the back seat. Will there be enough room for your passenger's legs, bags, etc?
- Is there room for a child car seat if you need one?
- Does the driver's seat support your thighs and the small of your back? It is very important to note this because it might not bother you on a 10 minute test drive, but the first long drive or traffic-filled commute will tell you if the support here is lacking, so check now!
- Can you comfortably reach all the controls?
Once you are behind the wheel check these things:
- Are the gauges easy to read?
- Does the steering wheel obstruct your view?
- Must you change position to see any gauges?
- Does glare make them hard to see?
Check it before you leave the dealer's lot.
- Make sure all lights turn on and knobs/buttons work like they are supposed to.
- Can you reach all of the controls without moving far out of position?
- Are there any protrusions that would be dangerous if you were thrown forward in a sudden stop?
This can be difficult to judge, but these quick tests will point out danger spots.
- Is the top rim of the steering wheel lower than your shoulders? If it isn't, it may interfere with your line of sight.
- Squirt the windshield-wiper fluid, run the wipers and look for any areas that the wipers don't reach. They might reduce your vision at night and in bad weather.
- Once you're on the road, check the passenger-side mirror for blind spots. Does a car passing on the right disappear momentarily from the mirror, only to suddenly reappear seconds later by your side?
You should feel comfortable and safely in control of the car at all times.
- Notice how soft or hard the ride is and make sure it is what you prefer.
- Does it hurt or jar your back? Are uncomfortable in any way?
- Remember that you can expect a somewhat stiffer ride from a sporty or performance car.
- When you reach a quiet parking lot, try a few sharp turns at low speed. Make a right, a left and a U-turn. Does the car lean too much from side to side?
- Check the vehicle's turning circle. Can you make a U-turn on a residential street in one continuous motion?
- Does the car "dance" over rough or bumpy surfaces?
A slight turn of the steering wheel should elicit a quick response. The car should be easy to steer and provide enough power to eliminate hard work but not so you feel you aren't in control. On a straight stretch, relax your grip on the steering wheel. The car should remain on a steady course.
The steering wheel should turn easily and sharply. Note the number of turns it takes from wheel lock to wheel lock. A tip: the fewer the turns, the better.
Brake test
ABS brakes safety video are standard on many cars. They electronically prevent a car's wheels from locking up on slippery or dusty surfaces and let you continue steering to maintain control of your car. It will feel weird when it is engaged… read on to test it.On an empty road with no obstacles and no other car in sight, step on the brake pedal as hard as you can. The ABS should bring the car to a controlled stop. You may feel some "Catching" or push back on the brake pedal when you do this and this is normal. It will feel strange, but if the car locks up or skids, this is not a good thing.
Now find out whether the car is powerful enough around town.
See how easily you can merge into traffic from the interstate ramp. Can you reach highway speed easily and maintain that pace? Do you feel safe doing it?Is there enough power to easily pick up 10 mph and overtake the car in front of you? With the air-conditioning on high, do you still have enough power to pass? Most people forget to check this.
How quiet is it?
You want a car to be as quiet as possible, but noise is hard to judge. Check out this test:
- Before you get on the highway, close the windows, slow down to about 20 mph and turn on the radio so it's at a comfy level–no loud thumping. Note how many times you have to turn up the volume to keep the same sound level as you accelerate to 55 mph. In a quiet car, you shouldn't have to increase the volume more than once or twice, and then only slightly.
When you finally get back to the dealership, do a final rundown of the car's comfort and convenience features. With all of this detailed research you will definitely know if this is the car for you.

FORT WORTH, Texas (BP) -- Christmas came early for us this year. After a long battle with cancer, my brother-in-law Bruce was readmitted to the hospital in Indianapolis for surgery earlier this month.
After a short recovery, and just as the hospital staff was assisting him into my dad's car, Bruce passed out and fell to the ground. No one knew yet that a blood clot had dislodged from somewhere in his body and moved to the main artery to his lungs.
Bruce had fainted because no oxygen was getting to his brain and other vital organs.
That Saturday morning, Bruce coded three times in the hospital parking lot. Each time, the CPR team worked to revive him. Finally, they got Bruce into the emergency room. He was stable and still alive, but no one knew if he would come out of an induced coma. That was Saturday.
On Sunday morning the reports started coming in. Bruce's wife Judy had fought her way through the Saturday snowstorm and finally made it to the emergency room. What we read in her text messages brought us tears of joy.
Judy reported that doctors were using words and phrases like "miraculous," "amazing," "hard to believe" and "had to see it for myself" in describing the scene. Bruce had come out of the coma, and with the breathing tube still in his mouth was writing notes to his wife, asking why he was still in the hospital and why his chest hurt so badly.
All day, hospital staff visited Bruce in amazement. As soon as his breathing tube was removed, and for the rest of the day, Bruce gave testimony after testimony of the Lord's healing.
One doctor told Judy that Bruce was a new member of the "1 Percent Club," that what happened to Bruce happens in less than 1 percent of all the cases he sees.
The 1 Percent Club. What an awesome place to be. We know that not everyone will experience physical healing here on earth, but everyone can be part of God's 1 Percent Club.
Amidst the chaos and a world full of emergency room experiences, God's Word reminds us that all of us in the family of faith have experienced an amazing spiritual miracle.
In the chaos of Israel's day long ago, the prophet Isaiah brought words of encouragement to the faithful remnant. God encouraged the faithful then, just as He encourages the faithful today, with the hope of a New Heaven and a New Earth.
God promised that in that future day, "Never again will there be in it infants who live but a few days, or older people who do not live out their years," and, "Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear" (Isaiah 66:20a, 24).
On that day the Lord Jesus will come back to rule and establish His throne among His people. When He does, Jesus Christ will have the final word on all suffering, pain, injustice and even death.
When Jesus sits to rule on the throne on that day, the promise is made that "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away" (Revelation 21:4).
Let the faithful anticipate His coming again with great joy and courage this holiday season.

KENNEWICK, Wash. - The Indoor Football League features a new set up this season. Five teams per conference, which is different than the eight teams per conference last season. Making the schedule for each team presented a new difficulty. The Tri-Cities Fever schedule released yesterday, consists of 14 games over 18 weeks, with the Fever starting in week three. Fever General Manager Teri Carr says the schedule was still pretty easy to make.
"The creation of the schedule this year was actually fairly easy. You've got ten teams, five in each conference, it was an even number which made it easier," said Teri Carr, Tri-Cities Fever General Manager. "But really there's only two teams this year that are on an island, so to speak. And that's us and Texas, versus last year there was four."

Particle Concentration Device (Pharmaceutical)
|Utah State University seeks a company interested in commercializing a particle sorting device. The pharmaceutical industry is experiencing a trend in developing inhaled drugs for a variety of treatments including: asthma, cystic fibrosis, migraines, pneumonia, and more. The inhaled drug delivery market increased 6.2% annually from 2000 to 2005, going from $6.5 billion to $8.5 billion. Particle size determination and classification are important manufacturing processes for pharmaceuticals. Particle size is important for both the drug and the drug-carrying excipient. The particle sorter from USU offers a capability that other air classifiers are incapable of—the ability to simultaneously sort dry powders into multiple size fractions. The technology could not only provide a competitive advantage over competitors, but it could be inserted into an in-line process—making the overall process leaner. The system is also customizable, allowing users the option of tailoring the particle size distribution according to the application.
|Features and Benefits
|The particle sorter uses fluid dynamics to turn a jet stream containing particles. The particles separate according to size and density and are captured further downstream. The sorter requires no physical contact, which preserves particle quality and shape. Multiple capture bins can be set downstream to capture multiple particle size distributions. The technology works best at capturing particles within the 1-100 micron range.
|Development Stage
|Multiple prototypes have been developed and several validation tests have been conducted. Tests have proven competitive accuracy and competency. Multiple types of particle powders have been sorted with varying sizes and densities.

Cara Black and Liezel Huber, co-ranked No.1 in the world, made short work of American wildcards Christina McHale and Asia Muhammad, 62 61.

Why Does Whitney Tilson Love this Beaten-Down Stock?
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
During Whitney Tilson's presentation Tuesday at the 8th Annual Value Investing Congress, he identified three key long ideas. Tilson founded T2 Partners in 1999 with Glenn Tongue, and since inception has returned 177%, versus an S&P 500 of 36%.
Tilson's first long idea is Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX). Tilson opened his long pitch on Netflix with the fact that Netflix is universally hated—we cannot disagree here, as Netflix currently has an almost 30% short interest and made our list of terrible twenty stocks—he also notes that the future is uncertain, but believes that the company is cheap on a subscriber valuation basis, with a current valuation of around $100 per subscriber.
Tilson also makes an interesting comparison between Netflix and Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN). Noting that in a head-to-head comparison of Netflix today and Amazon in 2001, the two companies have very similar metrics, except Netflix has around half the debt that Amazon had in 2001 and that Netflix operates in a less capital-intensive business. Tilson believes that Netflix has a better business model than Amazon with higher margins. Worth noting is that Tilson only owned around 10,000 shares of Netflix at the end of June, according to T2's 2Q 13F.
Tilson's second pick is Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A). We noted that Berkshire was one of Tilson's top picks in our analysis earlier this month. Berkshire also made our list of the 10 most popular financial stocks among hedge funds. Tilson values the current Berkshire business operations on an 8x EBIT multiple, which is roughly 12x earnings. He claims the low multiples are indicative of an aging Warren Buffett.
Using that metric along with cash and stock holdings, Tilson values the shares at around $175,000, versus a current share price of less than $140,000. Tilson also expanded on Buffett's age and future concerns by citing an actuarial table that shows Buffett is projected to live 11 more years, with Tilson adding his own belief that Buffett will run Berkshire for at least five more years.
Additionally, Tilson uses Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) as an example to show how a company can continue to thrive even after its leader is gone. Apple is up almost 70% since Jobs left the company in August 2011. However, it is said that the last product Steve Jobs had a hand in designing was launched last month—the iPhone 5. As a result, it remains to be seen how the company will fare in the long run. On a positive note, Apple is still expected to grow 2012 revenue by 25%, after a 66% increase in 2011. The fact that the iPhone 5 was Jobs' last product has not stopped fund managers from buying, with Apple making our list of the top stocks loved by billionaires.
Tilson's third idea is Howard Hughes Corp (NYSE: HHC). Tilson pitched this idea last year at the Value Investing Congress and the company is T2 Partners' seventh largest holding per the firm's 2Q 13F. Howard Hughes was spun-off of General Growth Properties in 2010 and is a portfolio of real estate assets in premier U.S. locations. Tilson credited Bill Ackman with the idea. Ackman also has Howard Hughes as his seventh largest 2Q 13F holding.
Tilson noted that he had visited four Howard Hughes properties and provided notes on each. The first being the Summerlin planned development in Las Vegas—noting that the market is very weak, but there actually new homes being built in a few areas around Vegas. Tilson believes that many of the assets on Howard Hughes' books are below fair value, citing the emergence from bankruptcy as the reason the assets were placed on the books at such low prices, including the other three properties he saw first-hand.
Tilson also visited The Woodlands in the Houston; a property in Honolulu that will be condo towers along the beach; and a property in South Street Seaport where Howard Hughes has development plans for 2015. Tilson believes the South Street Seaport has great potential, but is only on the books at $6 million.
As far as valuation, Tilson views the Howard Hughes' price-to-book ratio of 1.25 very cheap, but he did not offer an exact value for the stock, only that it is worth much more than the current share price.
During the Q&A portion of Tilson's presentation he revealed his performance year to date was roughly flat. He furthered this by saying that some of his second quarter positions should have been downsized more in 2012′s first quarter. Tilson is likely referring to such stocks as and Promotora De Informaciones, down over 60% year to date, and Dell, which is down over 30% year to date. These stocks were Tilson's fifth and sixth largest 2Q 13F holdings, respectively.

3 companies reporting earnings Thursday
Lindsay, Micron and Safeway will have news for investors.
By Neal Rau, Stock Traders Daily
Earnings season is just getting underway, and a few very important earnings releases are coming over the next few days.
We have conducted an analysis of these companies in order to provide investors with a summarized earnings analysis (both past and present), but also, and more importantly, a price-based observation that might be better suited for investors who are anticipating price action after earnings are released.
Of course, we already know that stocks sometimes do the exact opposite of what we might expect after earnings. A stock might fall after it beats estimates, or increase after a miss, so although an evaluation of earnings data is clearly important, a close look at the recent decisions of smart money is as well.
This combination of simple earnings data and price-based analysis can help investors not only understand earnings results, but also anticipate the stock's move after earnings are released.
The following companies report earnings on Oct. 10:
Lindsay Corporation (LNN) a leading provider of irrigation systems and infrastructure products, will be reporting earnings on Thursday before the market opens. The company is expected to post EPS of 91 cents for its fiscal fourth quarter, a 33% increase from the same quarter a year ago.
Shares of Lindsay are flat this year after posting record results for the first three quarters of fiscal 2013. Lindsay has not missed quarterly estimates since its fiscal fourth quarter last year, as this quarter is typically the company weakest in terms of EPS. Earnings this year have been driven by potential drought conditions, which is not something investors can count on to continue.
The stock is trading below long-term resistance, after recently breaking above resistance and quickly reversing lower back into the channel. It appears that smart money is selling LNN when the stock tests resistance. As a rule, if the stock remains below resistance, we expect lower levels and a test of support. Sell/short signals therefore already existed, and now resistance acts as risk control for those positions. Monitor resistance closely, if it breaks higher the bearish bias that exists now will abate, but if resistance holds as it has thus far our real time trading report for LNN suggests lower levels.
Micron Technology (MU) is expected to report earnings on Thursday after the market close. Prices for DRAM memory have surged this year, including a recent spike reflecting worries about inadequate supply levels. The demand is primarily from tablet, mobile and server-storage end applications. The stock is up 191% this year and returned to profitability last quarter, after missing estimates, and posting a loss in the seven previous quarters, so is that reason to buy?
Based on the Stock Traders Daily real-time trading report for MU, the stock has just broken above long-term resistance, which is now converted support. So far, converted support is holding, and as long as that remains true, the rules that govern our strategies tell us to expect higher levels, but converted support also acts as our risk control. We are buyers at that converted support level, but caution buyers not to chase the stock. We see higher levels only if converted support (former resistance) stays in place.
The food and drug retailer Safeway (SWY) is scheduled to report earnings on Thursday after the market close. The company is expected to post EPS of $0.16 for its third quarter, which will match the $0.16 EPS reported in the same quarter last year. Shares of Safeway are up 75% YTD, and the company recently adopted a one-year "poison pill" designed to ward off an unwanted takeover after becoming aware of an investor buying a significant amount of its stock, so should other investors play the takeover game by buying SWY?
Stock price matters, and right now the stock is trading near a six year high, and close to a test of long-term resistance. If the stock tests resistance, and remains below resistance, as defined in our real time trading report for SWY, Stock Traders Daily expects lower levels and a test of support. That would make SWY a sell/short at resistance, with risk controls defined as a break above resistance.
Navigating earnings can be tricky, sometimes investor's earnings expectations are correct, but the stocks actually do the opposite of what they think it should have done after earnings, so our opinion based on price can help make investors make more well-rounded and sound investment decisions.

CentraState's Emergency Department (ED) is a state-of-the-art Level II emergency facility designed, equipped and staffed to provide prompt, quality emergency care for patients of all ages 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
A recent, comprehensive, $10 million ED expansion project ensures that CentraState can keep pace with the increasing demand for high-quality, efficient emergency medical care in our service area. We guarantee that ED patients will be seen by a nurse within 15 minutes and a physician or practitioner within 30 minutes, or that portion of the visit is free.
The expansion nearly doubled the size of the ED to 32,000 square feet and increased the number of treatment rooms to 48—44 of which are private. All rooms are equipped to provide critical care, while offering amenities such as flat-screen LCD televisions and private phones.
Emergency Treatment Areas
The forward-thinking, flexible design of the new ED has resulted in a self-sufficient, technologically advanced center with broad diagnostic and treatment capabilities. It also allows for areas of highly specialized emergency care.
The ED features a First Care area for minor injuries, an Acute Care area for life-threatening emergencies, such as chest pains and shortness of breath, an Intermediate Care area for everything in between, a mental health assessment and treatment area, and a dedicated pediatric emergency care area.
The First Care service operates in the ED reception area during the department's highest-volume times. It is designed to get adults and children with minor medical complaints—such as a sore throat, simple rash or grit in the eye—treated and released in 30 minutes when X-rays aren't required. First Care is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
The ED's Star and Barry Tobias Emergency Pediatric Care area includes five private rooms decorated specifically for children. A board-certified pediatric emergency physician is on duty around the clock.
Stroke Center
CentraState is a Primary Stroke Center with licensed certification from the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services. We are among an elite group of hospitals with a specially trained "Stroke Alert" response team.
Around-the-clock coverage
The stroke response team consists of an Emergency Department (ED) physician, neurologist, ED RN, and a stroke coordinator, all of whom have special training in caring for stroke patients.
The team is available around the clock to assess patients immediately upon their arrival at the Emergency Department and initiate appropriate treatment, which may include the administration of a "clot busting" medication. When a patient is experiencing stroke symptoms, every second counts in preventing or limiting damage to brain tissue.
Health Profile Card
The Emergency Department has created a portable Health Profile Card to prevent adverse drug reactions and allergic responses. The card, which is filled out by the bearer, is designed to fit into a wallet or purse so it can be carries at all times and be easily accessible in the case of a medical emergency.
The Health Profile Card is free to the public and is available at the ED and various health events staffed by CentraState.
To download your free card, check the Related Documents box to the right, and click on Health Profile Card.
Pediatrician On Site 24/7
Children benefit most from seeing pediatricians—physicians specially trained in children's health. That's why pediatricians staff our Emergency Department around the clock, seven days a week.
Additionally, the Star and Barry Tobias Emergency Pediatric Care area of our Emergency Department includes five private rooms decorated in child-friendly themes. Youngsters and parents alike appreciate the large, flat-screen LCD television in each room, which can contribute to a more comforting environment for an apprehensive child.
Patient Privacy Pagers
To enhance patient privacy, walk-in patients arriving at the Emergency Department now receive a restaurant-style pager at check-in that silently alerts them when the triage nurse is ready to see them. The process enhances confidentiality by eliminating the need to call the patient's name aloud.
The pager, which resembles a television remote-control device, vibrates and lights up when the triage nurse presses a specific number on a console in her office, indicating she is ready to see the particular patient. A staff member cleans and disinfects each pager before returning it to the charging tower at the ED greeter's station.

Taking a short break from the Gaslight Anthem in early 2011, frontman Brian Fallon teamed up with guitar tech Ian Perkins to form the Horrible Crowes, an Americana side project named after the "Twa Corbies" folk ballad. Inspired by Tom Waits, Nick Cave, and Mark Lanegan, the Horrible Crowes wrote slow-burning songs that were smokier and more stripped-down than the Gaslight Anthem's punked-up anthems. "Behold the Hurricane" introduced the duo's sound during the summer of 2011, followed in September by the Elsie LP. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi

Yes! Best Purchase Ever! I purchased this hair accessory in gold for my September wedding. After spending months of looking on various websites and bridal stores, I finally decided to try this comb accessory out. I was a little nervous because it is much less expensive than many comparable products and I had not seen it in person at the time of purchasing. I am SO happy I went with this hair accessory. Not only is the price great, but it is simply gorgeous! The rhinestones are great quality and the pearls are gorgeous. The only difference between this accessory and those that cost upwards of $100 might be that the gold/silver scrolling appears to be made of plastic. The actual comb is a pliable metal, so it fits nicely in many updos. If you're looking for a simple and elegant hair accessory that won't cost you more than $30, this is it! I'd highly recommend to anyone. July 24, 2014
Sparkly! This comb adds nice sparkle without it being an obnoxious tiara size. Looks great with my veil & completes the look! October 23, 2013
princess I wanted something to make the veil stand out since it just had a plain comb, but I also wanted a tiara so I could feel like a princess. Well, my bridal consultant placed this comb in my hair with my veil and I fell in love with it. When I got my hair done for my wedding, the girl who did my hair did an EXCELLENT job making it look like a tiara and making me look like a princess! I was very pleased with it! September 12, 2013
Perfect look for the price I was about to spend over $150 on a headpiece similar to this one when one of my bridesmaids came around the corner with this in her hand. I wanted the tiara look, without being obnoxious and didn't want the metal headbands hurting my head behind my ears. This piece is perfect and for an awesome price, just enough height to give the tiarra look without going over board. cant wait to wear it!! July 30, 2013

By PABLO FERNANDEZ
Associated Press
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) - Peaceful Uruguay is planning a novel approach to fighting rising crime: having its government sell marijuana to take drug profits out of the hands of dealers.
Under the plan backed by President Jose Mujica's leftist administration, only the government would be allowed to sell marijuana and only to adults who register on a government database, letting officials keep track of their purchases over time. Profits would reportedly go toward rehabilitating drug addicts.
"It's a fight on both fronts: against consumption and drug trafficking. We think the prohibition of some drugs is creating more problems to society than the drug itself," Defense Minister Eleuterio Fernandez Huidobro told reporters late Wednesday.
Fernandez said the bill would soon be sent to Congress, which is dominated by Mujica's party, but that an exact date had not been set. If approved, Uruguay's national government would be the first in the world to directly sell marijuana to its citizens. Some local governments do so.
The proposed measure elicited responses ranging from support to criticism to humor.
"People who consume are not going to buy it from the state," said Natalia Pereira, 28, adding that she smokes marijuana occasionally. "There is going to be mistrust buying it from a place where you have to register and they can typecast you."
Media reports have said that people who use more than a limited number of marijuana cigarettes would have to undergo drug rehabilitation.
"I can now imagine you going down to the kiosk to buy bread, milk and a little box of marijuana!" one person in Uruguay's capital, Montevideo, wrote on their Twitter account.
Behind the move is a series of recent gang shootouts and rising cocaine seizures that have raised security concerns in one of Latin America's safest countries and taken a toll on Mujiica's already dipping popularity. The Interior Ministry says that from January to May, the number of homicides jumped to 133 from 76 in the same period last year.
The crime figures are small compared to its neighbors Argentina and Brazil but huge for this tiny South American country where many take pride in being able to leave their doors open and gather in the streets late at night to sip traditional mate tea.
To combat rising criminality, the government also announced a series of measures that include compensation for victims of violent crime and longer jail terms for traffickers of crack-like drugs.
The idea behind the marijuana proposal is to weaken crime by removing profits from drug dealers and diverting users from harder drugs, according to government officials.
"The main argument for this is to keep addicts from dealing and reaching substances" like base paste, a crack cocaine-like drug smoked in South America , said Juan Carlos Redin a psychologist who works with drug addicts in Montevideo.
Redin said that Uruguayans should be allowed to grow their own marijuana because the government would run into trouble if it tries to sell it. The big question he said will be, "Who will provide the government (with marijuana)?"
During the press conference, the defense minister said Uruguayan farmers would plant the marijuana but said more details would come soon.
"The laws of the market will rule here: whoever sells the best and the cheapest will end with drug trafficking," Fernandez said. "We'll have to regulate farm production so there's no contraband and regulate distribution ... we must make sure we don't affect neighboring countries or be accused of being an international drug production center."
There are no laws against marijuana use in Uruguay. Possession of marijuana for personal use has never been criminalized here and a 1974 law gives judges discretion to determine if the amount of marijuana found on a suspect is for legal personal use or for illegal dealing.
Liberal think tanks and drug liberalization activists hailed the planned measure.
"If they actually sell it themselves, and you have to go to the Uruguay government store to buy marijuana, then that would be a precedent for sure, but not so different than from the dispensaries in half the United States," said Allen St. Pierre, executive director of U.S.-based NORML, an organization that advocates decriminalization of marijuana use.
St. Pierre said the move would make Uruguay the only national government in the world selling marijuana. Numerous dispensaries on the local level in the U.S. are allowed to sell marijuana for medical use.
Some drug rehabilitation experts disagreed with the planned bill altogether. Guillermo Castro, head of psychiatry at the Hospital Britanico in Montevideo, said marijuana is a gateway to stronger drugs.
