As loved ones prepare to lay a mother and four little girls to rest, city leaders say they are determined to learn if a deadly fire in Newnan could have been prevented.
At just 1 year old, Mackenzie Florence was the youngest victim of the Newnan house fire that's left an entire community in mourning. Mackenzie, three of her half-sisters and Lola McCrary, the 28-year-old mother of two of those little girls, died Saturday when fire swept through McCrary's rental home on Midland Park Drive.
Despite her anguish, Mackenzie's mother Erika says she will always be grateful that Lola tried to save the little girls.
"She was trying, she was there, because she didn't have to go back in to get them, but she did. She was a hero because she went back in there with them," said Erika Florence.
Like so many of the loved ones touched by this tragedy, Erika wants to know if this blaze could've been prevented. Lola McCrary moved into the house just a couple of months ago and relatives say she had recently complained to her landlord about electrical problems.
Cynthia Jenkins, Newnan's mayor pro tem, says it's too early to speculate or point fingers, but adds city and fire officials are determined to figure out how and why the electrical panel inside sparked that fire cut five lives short.
"Some things are just freak accidents and some things are human error or human responsibility that they didn't live up to," Jenkins said. "Any actions we may take in the future to try to help will be dependent upon the investigation."
Jenkins said that investigation is ongoing.
"That does include pulling permits. That does include looking at the site to see if other things were out of place that should have been taken care of," Jenkins said.
Insurance investigators inspected the remains of the home on Tuesday.
A public memorial service for Mackenzie Florence will be held on Thursday at First United Methodist Church in Newnan. A separate service will be held for the other victims later this week.

Clay Matthews joins CBS Super Bowl coveragePosted by on January 24, 2013 – 1:25 pm
Packers LB Clay Matthews will join CBS as a contributing analyst for the network's Super Bowl pre-game show, "The Super Bowl Today."
Matthews will join the CBS team of James Brown, Dan Marino, Bill Cowher, Shannon Sharpe, Boomer Esiason and Greg Gumbel on the set of "The Super Bowl Today" from the Superdome in New Orleans, La., on Sunday, Feb. 3.
Matthews was voted to the Pro Bowl this season for the fourth consecutive year but did not travel to Hawaii to participate. He has been named to the NFC's Pro Bowl squad each of the four years of his career.

(sigh) That just mean more of him to look at and listen to on the day of the game. but on another note, is this the reason he said he was not going to the ProBowl "due to an injury?" :o\

Being a Super Bowl analyst is more of a workout than playing in the Pro Bowl, anyway. Break a sweat, Clay!

Clay will be a great job and would certainly like to down on the field playing…next year Clay.

If I was Clay I would do the same thing. Go NFC! Hopefully, the 49ers can bring it home..
Get well and get ready for 2013!! The Pack will be Back!!!

If/when DD hangs them up, I think Clay will be my favourite Packer! I love his wit, his team solidarity and, especially, his on-field effort!
I can easily proclaim that Clay is my favourite Thompson pick, and I loved the Rodgers pick when it happened.

Clay's the reason why after 40 faithful years as a Bears' fan. I'm now 50% Bears fan and 50% Packers fan. :)

Too bad that injuries slowed Clay down this year. Hopefully he can bounce back in 2013 and have a terrific year. For the Pack to have success it is needed. Go Pack

Make him an announcer on FOX SPORTS in 15 years when he retires with the Packers (the team he should retire on). Kind of sick of listening to Aikman & Buck. or put KGB there

Clay is a natural communicator behind a camera. Should be entertaining and great publicity for the Pack! Looks like your future beyond football is very bright Clay. Go Pack Go!

Hopefully he gets a quick sack on Shannon Sharpe to shut him up for the rest of the broadcast. That guy is tough to listen to for more than 3 seconds.

- Pretty goodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/18/2014Everything was really good except the clam chowder was floury too much flour taste should taste like clams. The bread pudding did not taste like peaches strange taste. The duck was great and the salmon was excellent. Always a good dinner and lunch hereSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good, but not greatSteveBDined on 9/13/2014Service was a little slow and my duck was very tasteless. Lobster small plate looked better that the lobster parpadelle, which we did have.I would recommend this to a friend.
- 4strikesandoutDined on 8/23/2014Last Saturday was my 4th experience dining at Aspen, two lunches and two dinners. Each time the food and service was wonderful. However, the noise level is a real problem. Our reservation was for 6:15, by 7:00 the restaurant was full and we were shouting at each other across the table. The enjoyment of a good meal was instantly drowned out by "excuse me, what did you say, I can't hear you, say that again". I am a resident of Old Saybrook and go out for dinner quite often with family and friends, unfortunately, I don't think I will be returning to Aspen.
- Always a great experienceMANDPYOLOTOURDined on 8/20/2014We go to Aspen when we are looking for a top of the line dining experience in the shoreline area. There arent many spots like this where yo always get a great dining experience. We will be back and would recommend Aspen to anyone I know.Special Features:
- Superp restaurantBDKCDined on 8/1/2014We have enjoyed Aspen many times & always find it to be a wonderful dining experience - great food & service, quiet enough to hear ourselves talk, small OR large plates of fresh food!!!Special Features:
- Needs improvementDinoDined on 7/25/2014I applaud Aspen for modifying their menu recently and many of the dishes look very appealing. This meal, however was disappointing. The foie gras($16), after taking a very long time to arrive, was well prepared, but minuscule. I don't expect a huge portion when ordering this dish, but this was definitely skimpy. The local fluke ($28) as a main course was disappointing. This is a delicate, flaky fish that should be prepared with a light hand and fork tender. Instead, it was pan fried until it was very tough on the edges, to the point that I literally had to saw through it with a knife. There was no sauce, except for a small dollop of fig-like compote placed in the center of the presentation all on nice mashed potatoes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delightful foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/22/2014Our first trip to aspen and we were delighted with the food. The decor is lovely, except the traffic outside the window.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special Lunch SpotGrayrayDined on 7/18/2014I'm sure Aspen is great for dinner or drinks, but we've stopped by many times for lunch driving between MA and NY. Once again we find Aspen to have a great menu, we executed and served in a very clean, pleasant setting.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderfulctpl81Dined on 7/16/2014Had the pleasure of eating at Aspen. The food was cooked perfectly. Service was friendly and attentive without being obnoxious. We will definitely return.Special Features:
- Great local foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/15/2014Food was Fresh and well prepared. Waitstaff said they get produce from Whitegate farm in East Lyme. NY Strip Steak was cooked just right, Smoked blue cheese butter was perfect with it. Service was attentive and willing to accommodate special requests. The manager was very helpful checking on us and filling us in on their special promotions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedTempestaVIPDined on 7/11/2014Lovely space, earnest though absent waitstaff, atrocious food that took an excessively long time to emerge from the kitchen at a price that was wildly inflated for what it was served.
- another great eveningStefanoVIPDined on 7/11/2014We have had several wonderful dinners here in the past 2 months. Both the regular menu items (which they smartly always have on the menu) and some fantastic specilas have all been superb !Special Features:
- Another Great MealBoSoxDined on 7/10/2014Aspen just continues to have consistently great food and service. One of the best from New London to Clinton.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WaterDined on 7/8/2014My shrimp pasta dish wasn't flavorful. My husbands salmon was undercooked. Dessert was flourless chocolate cake and it was tasty but not fabulous. The menu is interesting but limited. I love the atmosphere and decor.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great meal at AspenOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/3/2014The short rib appetizer was to die for. Melt in your mouth. I had the sear duck which was cooked to perfection.Special Features:
- Terrific all aroundAnthonyCTVIPDined on 7/3/2014Our experience at Aspen was terrific. The just switched to a farm to table menu, I guess for the summer, and the food was really fine. It feels like the chef has stepped up the cuisine from last summer. My husband had the salmon (really good) and I had the Moroccan chicken (also really good). The service was very attentive, if a little rushed in the clearing process, but it did nothing to detract from a great night.Special Features:
- Dinner on a SaturdayKimKDined on 6/28/2014I went to aspen with my sisters for dinner on our weekend away and could not have had a more pleasant experience. The food was the best meal I've ever had other than my other meals at aspen!!!! Highly reccomend it! Will be there whenever I'm in town!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Totally enjoyable!BSK62614Dined on 6/26/2014Charlene was an exceptional server. Answered our food questions easily. Checked with the chef about one particular question about a spice. Offered a small sample of 2 wines for my sister to try so she could pick the wine she preferred. Always checked back to the table but was not intrusive. We ordered 2 different entrees so we could share our dishes - both were exceptional, delicious - sea scallops and swordfish. We will definitely return to Aspen Restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a disappointmentKermitsmomVIPDined on 6/24/2014We had been to Aspen many times before and had thought it great. But this was our first time in a year. This time, though the server was pleasant, the service was incompetent. Our drinks took a long time to arrive. The reason? He couldn't get the bartender's attention. (We heard her loud voice talking from across the room.) When the other diners were served, my meal was whisked away. It seems that he had "pushed the wrong button" and ordered the wrong entree for me. My meal therefore arrived well after the other diners had finished theirs. Profuse apologies from the waiter and the host and their offer of a free drink really didn't cut it. I don't think we'll be returning.
- JohnCJEMDined on 6/24/2014We get to Aspen only 3-4 times a year when we are in the area. This time was truly exceptional ! I had Duck nachos as an appetizer which was fantastic. Our entrees were all perfect and delicious. The service was excellent with Tara as our server. I would recommend Aspen to anyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really good but something's missingaltiebDined on 6/15/2014We like aspen very much, but each visit feel as if something is missing... maybe it's that the restaurant lacks an identity... maybe it's that the place is kind of large and needs to be redecorated to appear more fun, lively... I don't know... Anyway, you can get great food here, really good service... no complaints... it just misses being a really special place for some strange reason, having to do with decor and ambiance.Special Features:
- Pleasant Surprisedining4usDined on 6/14/2014My husband and I went for dinner this past weekend for his birthday celebration. This was our first time dining at Aspen. I have to say, we were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and the outstanding service! We will definitely be back!! Thank you!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- martiniboyDined on 6/14/2014We love Aspen for its unique good food and great drinks. We enjoy taking family and friends here as well as having eating at the bar. They have a great bar menu and very nice atmosphere. I enjoy a good dry martini with stuffed olives and they get 5 stars for this. The food is very good here with an interesting menu that changes monthly. you really cant go wrong here usually. However we ordered the Halibut last Saturday and it was not up to their standards. It was a good piece of fish but over cooked and tasteless. However they where quickly accommodating with either another dish, dessert or a drink.Special Features:
- The following 350 reviews are from the Aspen Restaurant reviews archive.

- Aspen Restaurant -Great SettingthetravelinladiesDined on 5/21/2014A lovely part of the Old Saybrook Country Barn, this restaurant maintains the ambiance and the elegant presentation of the rest of the complex. It is best enjoyed during the week, rather than during the hustle-bustle of weekends and during tourist season. The food is not exceptional, but it is appealing, and made even more so by the excellent presentation and quality of service. We manage to come here whenever we take the long drive down to the shoreline.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Overall nice experienceExcellentVIPDined on 3/23/2014Our first time dinning at Aspen. Service was excellent. Appetizer fries & calamari excellent. Cauliflower soap outstanding! Some of the entree's were delicious, a couple were just ok. Grilled romaine salad not so good, very soggy. Scallops excellent. Grown up grilled cheese sounded wonderful, but was not; bread was barely toasted. Dessert blueberry crumble was not good; oats weren't cooked & blueberry compote seemed canned & came to table extremely hot in spots, microwaved?. Crème brulee was good with the exception of chocolate sauce on top, kind of ruined it. Carmel gelato excellent. Atmosphere nice, but we were seated in back corner, little disappointing, especially because there were so many other nice tables empty when we arrived.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The guy who worked previously, left after the holidays. Also, the food has slipped a little. I has Salmon with lobster hash the other night. There was definitely less lobster in the dish, and I've had it 4 or 5 times. If costs have gone up, add a couple of dollars and retain the quality. Al in all, a little disappointing this time.

We waited 30 minutes to place the order and the tables around us were eating their meals by the time we placed our order. My husbands steak was raw (frozen in the middle). The waiter changed the order, but there was nothing to compensate for the mistake. Nor did the manager stop by to see if everything was fine even though she was circulating throughout the restaruant.Special Features:

All around great place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

His Dark Materials #01: The Golden Compassby Philip Pullman
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Published in 40 countries, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy – The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass – has graced the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, San Francisco Chronicle, Book Sense, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists.
The Golden Compass forms the first part of a story in three volumes. The first volume is set in a world like ours, but different in many ways. The second volume is set partly in the world we know. The third moves between many worlds.
In The Golden Compass, readers meet 11-year-old Lyra Belacqua, a precocious orphan growing up within the precincts of Jordan College in Oxford, England. It quickly becomes clear that Lyra's Oxford is not precisely like our own—nor is her world. In Lyra's world, everyone has a personal dæmon, a lifelong animal familiar. This is a world in which science, theology and magic are closely intertwined.
The Subtle Knife is the second part of the trilogy that began with The Golden Compass. That first book was set in a world like ours, but different. This book begins in our own world.
In The Subtle Knife, readers are introduced to Will Parry, a young boy living in modern-day Oxford, England. Will is only twelve years old, but he bears the responsibilities of an adult. Following the disappearance of his explorer-father, John Parry, during an expedition in the North, Will became parent, provider and protector to his frail, confused mother. And it's in protecting her that he becomes a murderer, too: he accidentally kills a man who breaks into their home to steal valuable letters written by John Parry. After placing his mother in the care of a kind friend, Will takes those letters and sets off to discover the truth about his father.
The Amber Spyglass brings the intrigue of The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife to a heartstopping close, marking the third and final volume as the most powerful of the trilogy. Along with the return of Lyra, Will, Mrs. Coulter, Lord Asriel, Dr. Mary Malone, and Iorek Byrnison the armored bear, The Amber Spyglass introduces a host of new characters: the Mulefa, mysterious wheeled creatures with the power to see Dust; Gallivespian Lord Roke, a hand-high spy-master to Lord Asriel; and Metatron, a fierce and mighty angel. And this final volume brings startling revelations, too: the painful price Lyra must pay to walk through the land of the dead, the haunting power of Dr. Malone's amber spyglass, and the names of who will live—and who will die—for love. And all the while, war rages with the Kingdom of Heaven, a brutal battle that—in its shocking outcome—will reveal the secret of Dust.
Its 1954, and Janie Scott is in boarding school in New Hampshire, trying to make a new life. Two years have passed since she last saw the mysterious apothecary—or his defiant son, Benjamin. All she knows is that her friends are out there somewhere, trying to keep the world safe in an age of mounting atomic power. On the other side of the world, Benjamin is treating the wounded in a jungle war, and experimenting with a magical new formula that will let him communicate with Janie across the globe.
But Janie has her own experiment underway, and its attracting interest from sinister forces. Benjamin calls on their friend Pip for help, and they have to race to find one another, and to unravel the mystery of their powerful new enemies.
A magical new adventure, following Maile Meloys critically acclaimed novel The Apothecary, with captivating illustrations by Ian Schoenherr.
Two years have passed since Janie Scott last saw Benjamin Burrows, the mysterious apothecary's defiant son who stole her heart. On the other side of the world, Benjamin and his father are treating the sick and wounded in the war-torn jungles of Vietnam.
But Benjamin has also been experimenting with a magical new formula that allows him to communicate with Janie across the globe. When Benjamin discovers that she's in trouble, he calls on their friend Pip for help. The three friends are thrown into a desperate chase around the world to find one another, while unraveling the mystery of what threatens them all.

Role-Reversal: Some Cops Have Started Saving Lives From Overdose, Not Just Arresting Drug Users
Photo Credit: Shutterstock.com
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
On August 1, 2012, Officer Michael Alfieri of Suffolk County, New York, responded to a 911 call about an unconscious man in an apartment. Arriving at the scene, Alfieri noted the man's bluish skin, labored breathing and track marks in his arms, all indicative of a heroin overdose. Kneeling beside the victim, Officer Alfieri administered two doses of Narcan, a drug that blocks the effects of opiates to the brain, through an intranasal spray. Minutes later the man woke up, shocked and confused, but grateful to be alive.
Officer Alfieri was the first deputy in his department to administer Narcan under a new pilot program launched only two days prior, which trains and equips police officers to use Narcan when confronted with an opiate overdose. Narcan (generic name naloxone), a drug traditionally administered by EMTs, is making its way into the hands of police officers in some states as part of efforts to reverse the nationwide overdose epidemic. Drug overdose recently surpassed auto fatalities as the leading cause of accidental death in the United States, and according to the CDC,current drug distribution through pharmacies is equal to 700 mg of morphine per person, enough for everyone in the U.S. to take a typical 5mg dose of Vicodin every four hours for three weeks.
Law enforcement and Narcan may seem odd bedfellows considering the agency's traditional hard stance on drugs, but the alliance makes sense in light of the nature of opiate overdose. The most lethal of all drugs, opiates, such as heroin or most prescription painkillers, lull the user into a sleepy euphoria that can lead to respiratory failure. As police officers often respond to 911 calls faster than an ambulance, a growing number of counties are relying on law enforcement to reach victims before they stop breathing.
The first police Narcan program in the United States was launched in 2004 in the districts of Santa Fe and Española, New Mexico. New Mexico has consistently led the other 49 states in overdose deaths, with 27 in 100,000 fatalities, more than twice the national average. Between 2010-2012, several counties in Massachusetts and New York introduced similar initiatives to combat burgeoning overdose epidemics.
Most Narcan programs develop under the leadership of a high-ranking law enforcement officer in response to a spike in overdose fatalities. In rural Rensselaer county, New York, Sheriff Jack Mahar noticed a sharp increase in the use and abuse of prescription pills during his nine-year tenure, as well as delays for the county's volunteer ambulance to arrive. Recognizing that lives could be saved if overdose victims were reached earlier, Sheriff Mahar and Dr. Michael Daly, medical director of the Rensselaer EMT program, petitioned the public health department to allow police officers to administer Narcan. In May 2012 they received the green light to launch a pilot program.
A similar process occurred in Quincy, Massachusetts. Between 2008 and 2009 the small town of Quincy lost 42 members to overdose. The victims ranged from habitual drugs users to young teens experimenting with pills and elderly folks who confused their prescription medications. Fed up with the losses, a group of concerned citizens approached the police. Lieutenant Detective Pat Glynn, along with the chief of police and the mayor, requested action from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and in 2011, a pilot program was implemented to train and equip deputies with nasal Narcan. As of August 2012, Quincy officers have reversed 103 overdoses and the death toll has plummeted to 16 since the program began.
Officer Donnelly, a seven-year patrol officer with the Quincy police, has personally reversed seven overdoses in the past year and a half. "It's really amazing when you give [Narcan] to someone who has overdosed. One minute they're clinically dead and a few minutes later they pop up, alive."

Updated the post about Kindle books on Amazon Wish Lists: http://bit.ly/c3JPJA
Blog post: A quick look at how Amazon's long-awaited enabling of Kindle Edition gifts affected wish list items: http://bit.ly/c3JPJA
See update below.
I was very happy to hear that Amazon has finally enabled the giving of Kindle books as a gift. This is something I have been harping on since becoming a Kindle user.
I went to check it out and there is a problem. I had several Kindle books on my wish list. It changed them all to use a generic "See all buying options" button which takes you to the product page.
Granted, it is the Kindle edition product page. But it is not clear to the un-savvy user (like family members purchasing holiday gifts) that I stated a preference for the Kindle edition by adding that exact product to my wish list. (This is complicated further by a preference to have certain books in paper and others in Kindle, which will probably be common to many users for a while.) If you are buying a gift for someone and you are not sure about their Kindle status, you are likely to just buy the paper.
I'm not sure why Amazon would remove cues of the stated preference for the Kindle edition. For now, I have added it to the comments of the applicable wish list items.
Additionally, once on the product page the gift giver has to (see and) know to click "Give as a Gift" instead of "Buy now with 1-Click".
Update 1pm: If you are looking at someone else's wish list (or not logged in and looking at your own) the button on the wish list is "Give as a gift" instead of "See all buying options." I'm not sure if they just changed it or if it is was my oversight, but I did check my own list from a logged out browser before posting. It still does not make it clear that the person wants the Kindle Edition and that is what you are gifting when you click the button.
Also, why are authors, edition and prices for Kindle items not displayed on the wish list like other items? (In the wish list image above, The Last Run is a Kindle Edition entry and Icons is a Hardcover edition entry.)

Despite a two-goal comeback in the second period, the Tri-City Storm (18-21-4) failed to score in the third period and were defeated by the Fargo Force (25-14-5) 3-2 on Saturday night at the Viaero Event Center.
Trevor Mingoia and Michael Vecchione scored goals for Tri-City in a middle frame in which the Storm outshot Fargo 16-6 and got back into the game. Johan Mattsson also had a good night in between the pipes, making 27 saves on 30 shots.
The Force wasted no time, taking the lead just 24 seconds into the game. With an odd man rush, Brendan Harms found his center Dominic Toninato for the opening goal of the game, making it 1-0.
Fargo extended its early lead to 2-0 at 9:29 of the first when center Jordan Nelson scored a goal on the power play.
But the Storm rebounded in the second to get back into the game. Mingoia found the back of the net for his fourth goal of the season at 8:14 of the middle frame, taking a pass from his center Brian Ward and beating Fargo netminder Brendan Jensen. Cutler Martin was credited with the second assist on the Storm's first tally of the night.
Tri-City found the tying goal with just eight seconds left on the clock in the second, with Vecchione beating Jensen up high from the right side of the Fargo crease. The Saugus, Mass. native got a perfect pass from forward Jared Linnell, who found the puck in the front of the net after Tim Bonner threw it in front.
The third period saw a tough battle between both teams, but the Force found the winner off the stick of Michael Booth with less than eight minutes remaining.

Rwandan Genocide Redux?
Not too many years ago, 800,000 Rwandans perished when their country descended into a bloody civil war. Now their government, with the encouragement of groups funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, appears poised to launch a nationwide sterilization campaign that may have equally disastrous demographic consequences.
The plan calls for 700,000 men to be sterilized over the next three years. To put this number into perspective, bear in mind that, according to the latest UN Population Division estimates, the entire male population of Rwanda is only 5 million. Moreover, of this number roughly 70 percent are not candidates for vasectomies, since they are under the age of 20 or over the age of 50. This means that, of the 1.5 million men who are left, half are slated to be sterilized.
According to the BBC and Rwandan news outlets, the Rwandan government is introducing this campaign on the heels of a large-scale effort to circumcise men (a procedure which allegedly "protects against" HIV/AIDS infection). However, as the New Times reports, the real reason circumcision was included was simply because "it allows us get to the men's reproductive system and in the process we advise them on condom use and vasectomy."
Not only this, but back in 2008, health officials informed the BBC that these "circumcision campaigns" would be practiced first on "the newborn and young men in universities, the army and police." It appears that the army and police will be first in line for vasectomies as well. While many Rwandans balk at the idea of being sterilized, "correspondents say many in the armed forces will regard it as an order" even though it will be "nominally voluntary."
In this they are absolutely correct. I was an officer in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. Understand that any time your superior officer asks you to do something, it is tantamount to an order, whether it is formally phrased that way or not. The men in the ranks will be circumcised and sterilized because they have been told to undergo these operations. They know that, if they fail to do so, their careers will be jeopardized.
The plan, nominally drawn up by the Rwandan Ministry of Health, is being actively supported by at least two USAID-funded population control groups: Intrahealth and Family Health International.
Intrahealth proudly advertises that it is conducting surveys of men who have received vasectomies already, and will use "lessons learned to inform recommendations regarding the scale-up of vasectomy services in other districts as requested by the Maternal and Child Health Task Force of the Ministry of Health."
Family Health International, for its part, is "supporting the Rwandan MOH to increase access to quality vasectomy services in Rwanda by training physicians across the country..."
The Rwandan government claims that it wants men to 'go willingly' for sterilization, but it also has a hard quota of 700,000 vasectomies which it wants to meet over the next three years. In PRI's experience, every single time a sterilization campaign has had a target and a timetable, it inevitably involves coercion and other human rights abuses, just as surely as night follows day.
We ask the Rwandan government to end this campaign before it gets underway in earnest. The consequences of sterilizing half of all men of reproductive age will have a serious negative impact on the Rwandan family and economy, and cause additional human suffering among an already-traumatized population.
It may also reignite the Rwandan genocide, as the majority Hutus target the minority Tutsis for sterilization. We at PRI have documented many cases where U.S.-funded population control campaigns have been directed by an ethnic, racial, or religious majority at a despised minority.
We ask the U.S. Congress to investigate the groups collaborating with this campaign. It is a violation of U.S. law for U.S. funds to be used in conjunction with any program with involves targets or quotas, threats or intimidation, or other coercive measures. And it is a matter of fact that the groups involved with this campaign are funded by USAID using American tax dollars.
We will do everything in our power to expose any misuse of U.S. taxpayer dollars and halt this genocidal campaign against the Rwandan people.
The genocide that killed 800
The genocide that killed 800 thousand men is still a black mark in the history of Rwanda. The plan calls for 700,000 men to be sterilized over the next three years sounds horrible. The people should act against this propaganda.
Reply to comment | Population Research Institute
Whаt's up, of course this post is in fact pleasant and I have learned lot of things from it on the topic of blogging. thanks.
my blog post - vivid occassions
I wonder why they are trying to depopulate Rwanda. Well, if you look at a map, you'll see that it is right near the headwaters of the Nile River. Water is "white gold," the gold of the 21st century. Now who might be interested in the water of the Nile?
"It may also reignite the Rwandan genocide, as the majority Hutus target the minority Tutsis for sterilization"
It's the opposite situation - the regime and the people pushing this plan are Tutsi
I would not be surprised if men of incredible wealth and power in our country are not the principle funders or are actively pushing for these attrocities in the name of "saving the planet", power, etc. I pray for all people of Africa that are at the mercy of men without any moral values that "pass" as saviors, etc.
God bless your work.
Steven Mosher has it wrong!
The PRI is right to speak out against this sterilization plan of men in Rwanda. However, I have the impression that Steven Mosher doesn't get it. He writes:
"It may also reignite the Rwandan genocide, as the majority Hutus target the minority Tutsis for sterilization."
Yes, this is a dangerous plan and can amount to a genocidal plan. But the author is mistaken in thinking that it is aimed at reducing the number of the Tutsi minority.
This plan is devised by the minority Tutsi led by the RPF-Kagame regime and all who know the Rwandan politics fear that the intended outcome is to reduce the number of Hutus to the levels where there will no longer be Hutu majority or Tutsi minority.
The plan might be a continuation of the genocide of Hutus by the RPF-Kagame regime as partially documented in the recent UN mapping reports.
It appears thus that the main argument of PRI opposing that genocidal plan was to defend the rights of minorities. The question now is: Now that it is clear that the plan is targeting the majority, will PRI be equally outspoken and continue to oppose it by all means?

Stephen Evans traces the 800 year history of the the boys choir of St Thomas' Church Leipzig, from the days of J S Bach through Mendelssohn, the war years and communism.
St Thomas' is a remarkable choir. One of the oldest in Europe it was traditionally formed from the less privileged children of the area and developed a unique sound and technical excellence that J S Bach exploited to the full in his 20 years as its music master. Since then the choir has treasured the musical traditions of its early years and defended the elite musical education of the boys and the performance of Bach's works as he would have heard them, surviving the Nazi years and atheist communism too.

5 Hated Stocks Poised to Pop on Earnings
From a technical perspective, BRLI is currently trending below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bearish. This stock has been downtrending for the last month and change, with shares falling from its high of $31.15 to its intraday low of $24.35 a share. During that downtrend, shares of BRLI have been consistently making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, shares of BRLI have now entered extremely oversold territory, since its current relative strength index reading is 34.57. Oversold can always get more oversold, but it's also an area where a stock can experience a powerful bounce higher from.
If you're in the bull camp on BRLI, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock manages to break out above its 50-day at $26.92 a share and its 200-day at $28.27 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that registers near or above its three-month average volume of 309.600 shares. If that breakout triggers, then BRLI will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $30 to $31.51 a share. Any high-volume move above those levels will then put $32 to $32.86 into range for shares of BRLI.
I would simply avoid BRLI or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout, and then drops back below some key near-term support at $23.66 a share with high volume. If we get that move, then BRLI will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major support levels at $22 to $20 a share.

The Lower School provides a structured, challenging, and dynamic academic environment in which each boy develops a strong sense of confidence in himself as a learner.
- In the pre-primary grades, the curriculum introduces a vast array of topics and disciplines that aim to foster a love of discovery while cultivating the skills necessary for continued academic achievement. By following the Golden Rule, boys learn to work and play together while taking their first steps toward independence.
- Language arts and mathematics form the core of the academic curriculum. Taught in small instructional groups that progress at an appropriate pace, reading classes balance direct instruction with group and individualized work.
- A small group format is used in mathematics to maximize learning potential. Hands-on activities engage the boys as they master concepts and apply skills to problem-solving situations.
- Several times each week, Lower School boys are fully immersed in the Spanish language and experience cultures of the Spanish-speaking world. Students acquire Spanish speaking and listening skills through interactive language activities that parallel what the boys are learning in other subjects, deepening their understanding of multiple disciplines.
- Weekly classes in science, social studies, music, art, pottery, woodworking, and technology augment the core curriculum.
- Beginning in pre-kindergarten, boys take field trips to explore the surrounding community and learn from the wealth of resources in our city.
- Boys participate in a daily sports period where they exercise and have fun while developing physical skills, teamwork, and good sportsmanship.
By the end of the third grade, the last year of Lower School, Saint David's boys have mastered fundamental skills. They can read for comprehension and identify the main idea, make inferences, and track character development. They can write a strong descriptive paragraph and a beginning research paper. They can add, subtract, multiply, and divide and understand concepts of time, money, and measurement. They have strong study skills and are comfortable using our academic planner. They have interacted with neighborhood schools, and have developed a sense of themselves as members of a wider community who share responsibility for its strength. Over the course of their Lower School years, they have discovered the foundations of what it means to be good men.

Combat Rogue DPS Spec, Builds, Talents, and Glyphs (MoP 5.4)
On this page, we present the viable talent and glyph choices for Combat Rogues in World of Warcraft MoP 5.4. We detail what each of the talents and glyphs do and in which situations they should be taken.
The other pages of our Combat Rogue guide can be accessed from the table of contents on the right.
This guide has been reviewed and approved by Dryaan, one of the best Rogues in the world, who raids in Envy. You can watch his stream on Twitch.
1. Talent Choices↑top
- Performance-enhancing
- Survival
- Crowd Control
- Movement
- Utility
- Situational
There is no longer such a thing as a default build. Most of the talents are now viable. They can easily be changed, thanks to Dust of Disappearance (and Tomes of the Clear Mind from level 86 to 90). You will frequently find yourself changing talents and glyphs between encounters, in order to adapt your play style to different mechanics. Therefore, it is important to understand what each of your talents does and how they affect your play style.
2. Tier 1 Talents↑top
Tier 1 talents improve your Stealth.
- Nightstalker increases your movement speed by 20% and the damage that your abilities deal by 50%, while you are stealthed.
- Subterfuge causes Stealth to break 3 seconds after dealing or receiving damage (rather than instantly, without the talent).
- Shadow Focus causes your abilities to cost 75% less Energy while in Stealth.
Shadow Focus is the best choice here. It gives you a nearly-free Ambush at the start of each encounter and every 2 minutes after that through Vanish.
While Nightstalker can be useful in certain situations (e.g., for the weekly solo Gold Run scenario in Isle of Thunder), it will never be taken over Shadow Focus in any raid environment.
3. Tier 2 Talents↑top
Tier 2 talents give you the choice between crowd control and survival talents.
- Deadly Throw is a Finishing Move that reduces the movement speed of your target by 50% for 6 seconds. It also deals damage based on the number of Combo Points it is cast with. Finally, if you cast it with 3, 4, or 5 Combo Points, it will also interrupt and silence your target for 4, 5, or 6 seconds respectively.
- Nerve Strike causes your successful casts of Kidney Shot and Cheap Shot to also reduce the damage your target deals by 50% and the healing it does by 10%, for 6 seconds.
- Combat Readiness causes you to take 50% less damage from melee attacks. The damage reduction builds up gradually by stacks of 10%, until you have 5 stacks. Each enemy hit grants you a stack. The effect lasts 20 seconds, but it is removed after 10 seconds without receiving melee attacks.
These talents will not impact your DPS as a raider.
Combat Readiness should be the default choice and will prove useful when you will have to tank something (e.g., Will of the Emperor, Ji-Kun, or Dark Animus).
Nerve Strike should be taken in any encounters where you will have to stun an add (e.g., Spirit Kings, Tsulong, Lei Shi, or Ra-den).
Deadly Throw will mostly be useful in PvP, against healers and casters.
4. Tier 3 Talents↑top
Tier 3 talents provide you with various means of improving your survivability.
- Cheat Death causes an attack that would otherwise kill you to instead reduce your health to 10% of your maximum health. Then, Cheat Death reduces the damage you will take by 85% for 3 seconds. This effect has an internal cooldown of 90 seconds. However, it can only absorb up to twice your maximum health.
- Leeching Poison grants you a new Non-Lethal Poison that afflicts your target in such a way that your melee attacks against the target heal you for 10% of the damage that they do. When using Leeching Poison, Shiv provides an instant 5% heal.
- Elusiveness causes your Feint ability to also reduce all damage taken by 30% for 5 seconds. Against AoE damage, the damage reduction is 65% (50% from Feint plus 30% of that from Elusiveness).
All three talents are viable here. Elusiveness is a must-have in any situation where you have to use Feint extensively to mitigate damage (most encounters) or when the additional 15% AoE damage reduction is needed for a particular mechanic (e.g., soaking sparks in Will of the Emperor).
In situations that do not require Elusiveness, Cheat Death should be the default choice, as it can be used to entirely bypass encounter mechanics (not to mention it can save your life on many occasions). Leeching Poison's usefulness is very debatable, as the healing it provides is rather weak (when it is not overhealing).
5. Tier 4 Talents↑top
Tier 4 talents give you the choice between abilities that improve your survivability or your mobility.
- Cloak and Dagger causes Ambush, Garrote, and Cheap Shot to have a 40-yard range and to teleport you behind your target.
- Shadowstep causes you to teleport behind your target, which has to be within 25 yards. It then increases your movement speed by 70% for 2 sconds. This ability has a 20-second cooldown.
- Burst of Speed increases your movement speed by 70% for 4 seconds. If you happen to be afflicted by movement-impairing effects, then this ability will also remove them (with the exception of rooting effects) and prevent their reapplication for 4 seconds. Burst of Speed has no cooldown, but costs 15 Energy.
Shadowstep should be the default choice here, as it allows you to easily reposition yourself behind your target, whether it is a friend or an enemy. Besides its numerous uses in most encounters, it always provides a DPS gain, as it will increase your uptime on your target.
Burst of Speed is useful in PvP or while questing. Its use in a raiding environment was very questionable due to its Energy cost, but Patch 5.4 changed that. With a cost of 15 Energy, it is now viable to use it on encounters where you suffer from movement-impairing effects or where you really need the movement speed increase.
Cloak and Dagger is useless for raiding.
6. Tier 5 Talents↑top
Tier 5 talents give you more utility or crowd control.
- Prey on the Weak causes enemies incapacitated by Kidney Shot, Cheap Shot, Gouge, Sap, or Blind to take 10% increased damage from all sources.
- Paralytic Poison causes your melee attacks to stack a debuff on the target. Upon reaching 4 stacks, the target is stunned for 4 seconds. When using Paralytic Poison, Shiv will snare the target for 4 seconds.
- Dirty Tricks removes the energy cost of Gouge and Blind and causes their effect to no longer be broken by damage from your Poisons and Bleeds.
Paralytic Poison can be useful in PvE content, especially for fights where you need to fight many adds and where you need to use Cheat Death as a Tier 3 talent (hence freeing the Non-Lethal poison spot occupied by Leeching Poison).
Similarly to Nerve Strike, Prey on the Weak should be taken in any encounters where you will make use of Cheap Shot or Kidney Shot.
Dirty Tricks do not really have any PvE implications.
7. Tier 6 Talents↑top
Tier 6 talents provide you with performance-improving abilities.
- Shuriken Toss is a ranged attack that replaces Throw, costs 20 Energy, and awards 1 Combo Point. If used against targets further than 10 yards away, it deals twice more damage and it causes your melee attacks to throw shuriken. These shuriken have a 30-yard range and poison your target with your Lethal Poison.
- Marked for Death instantly adds 5 Combo Points on your target. This ability has a 1-minute cooldown, but this cooldown is reset when the target dies.
- Anticipation basically grants you a maximum of 10 Combo Points, of which only 5 can be consumed with Finishing Moves. So, if you have 8 Combo Points and you cast a Finishing Move, you will be left with 3 Combo Points.
Anticipation will be the best choice in nearly all situations, especially since Ruthlessness came back in Patch 5.4.
Marked for Death can be picked in fights with many adds (e.g., Horridon), where you can benefit from the 5 free Combo Points very often. However, even for such fights, there is still debate in the community as to whether Marked for Death is better than Anticipation or not.
Shuriken Toss can be used in fights where the boss will be out of melee range for a long time. There is currently no encounters where it surpasses Anticipation.
8. Major Glyphs↑top
Several of your major glyphs offer you increased survivability.
- Glyph of Cloak of Shadows causes your Cloak of Shadows ability to also grant you a 40% physical damage reduction while it is active. With this glyph, Cloak of Shadows becomes a powerful damage mitigation tool that you should use whenever necessary.
- Glyph of Evasion increases the duration of Evasion by 5 seconds, making it last 15 seconds in total. It can be useful if you ever need to dodge attacks for longer than 10 seconds.
- Glyph of Feint increases the duration of Feint by 2 seconds, making it last 7 seconds in total. It can be useful if a damaging AoE ability from a boss lasts more than 5 seconds. Given the extensive use you will make of Feint, this glyph very often is a must-have, as it increases your DPS by making you spend less Energy and Global Cooldowns refreshing Feint.
- Glyph of Recovery cause healing you receive to be increased by 20% while Recuperate is active. Using Recuperate is a DPS loss, but if your healers are struggling with a fight, this glyph can be helpful.
- Glyph of Redirect reduces the cooldown of Redirect by 50 seconds (thus making it on a 10-second cooldown). This glyph is mandatory on any boss fight that requires target swapping.
- Glyph of Sharpened Knives causes Fan of Knives to also damage the armor of its victims, applying 1 stack of Weakened Armor to each target. This can be a DPS increase in AoE situations with adds that will stay alive for more than 5 or 6 seconds, but not too long. If the adds remain alive for too long, then other melee players will have plenty of time to apply the debuff on them, reducing the effectiveness of the glyph.
- Glyph of Smoke Bomb increases the duration of Smoke Bomb, a major defensive raid cooldown that Rogues provide to their raid.
- Glyph of Sprint increases the movement speed bonus provided by Sprint, which is very useful in encounters during which you use Sprint to increase your uptime on the boss.
Finally, a few other major glyphs might occasionally come in handy.
- Glyph of Expose Armor causes Expose Armor to immediately apply 3 stacks of Weakened Armor. This will be extremely useful if the task of maintaining this debuff falls to you.
- Glyph of Kick effectively reduces the cooldown of Kick to 13 seconds if you successfully interrupt a cast.
9. Minor Glyphs↑top
Glyph of Safe Fall, which reduces the damage you take when falling, and Glyph of Poisons, which causes you to apply your poisons faster, will probably be prime choices.
Glyph of Blurred Speed, which enables you to walk on water while Sprint is active, might be situationally useful.
Glyph of Killing Spree causes Killing Spree to return you to your original location. Some encounter mechanics may make this glyph beneficial.
