Iran: List of imprisoned journalists and bloggers « Arshama3's Blog
On December 8, 2010 the Committee to Protect Journalists published a report on imprisoned journalists throughout the world, claiming that the Islamic Republic of Iran and China "with 34 imprisoned journalists apiece, are the world's worst jailers of the press, together constituting nearly half of the worldwide total."
Subsequently Tehran Bureau published a most useful report on these 34 imprisoned Iranian journalists, providing their full names and data.
The real figures for the Islamic Republic are however much higher as the following list proves.

A Sacramento man was arraigned in federal court Wednesday, charged with purchasing multiple firearms in Reno and illegally bringing them across state lines.
Dejon Andrade, 27, who was arrested late Tuesday, drove to Reno and bought nine guns between November and January, according to an affidavit by Sara M. Lewis, a special agent with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Andrade couldn't legally buy the guns in California as a condition of his probation for a misdemeanor conviction, authorities said. That misdemeanor likely would have shown up in a state background check in California, but not in a federal background check in Nevada.
One of the guns purchased by Andrade in Reno was found less than a month later on a known gang member who tossed it while fleeing police, according to the affidavit.
"Firearms traffickers enable those who are committing violent crimes in our community," said Graham Barlowe, resident agent in charge of the ATF's Sacramento office, just after Andrade was arraigned in federal court.
Andrade, whose nickname is "Capo," also faces state charges of marijuana possession with intent to sell, court records show.
According to the affidavit, Andrade used a fraudulent Nevada identification card to buy guns from the Bizarre Guitar store. Most of the guns were semi-automatic pistols.
During one purchase, the affidavit says, a Bizarre Guitar employee noticed that Andrade was driving a car with California plates. It's illegal for people to purchase a gun outside their state of residence unless they have it shipped to a licensed dealer in their home state.
ATF agents started an investigation and tracked Andrade to Griggs Way in the Pocket area of Sacramento. They searched the home and found a weapon, and Andrade admitted he bought the guns illegally in Nevada, the affidavit says. Andrade told police that he bought the guns for personal use but purchased too many, so he decided to sell the surplus. He said he used to live in Las Vegas but now lives in Sacramento.
Authorities also found text messages and pictures on Andrade's phone that they say suggest he was selling some weapons that are illegal for purchase in California, including automatic weapons.
One text message from a contact listed as "Gotti" asked Andrade, "Wats good wat u got?" Andrade replied, "Mac 10 fully for 1500," according to authorities.
A MAC-10 is a compact machine pistol capable of firing about 1,000 rounds a minute.
Related to the charges, on Feb. 11, Elk Grove police recovered a Ruger .40-caliber pistol during a car chase involving a gang member identified in court documents as "G.P."
G.P. pulled his car over during the chase and ran from cops while tossing the gun to the ground, authorities said. The gun was allegedly purchased by Andrade on Jan. 15.
Andrade is charged with interstate travel with intent to unlawfully deal in firearms, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years.
The Sacramento Police Department and Sacramento County Sheriff's Department assisted in the investigation, Barlowe said.

In Nevada, it may seem like a challenge to try to find a good sober living. Don't worry, we have done our research and can help you do yours.
1. Compassionate Staff Members
When you are newly in recovery, you are going to need some empathy and compassion. Things are not always going to go as planned and there will be some bumps along the way. The last thing you need is a critical team of people who are just looking to make your existence even more difficult. A sign of a good sober living in Nevada is a very kind, caring staff who make you feel safe and welcome. Maybe a staff who will even lend an ear once in awhile to help counsel you when you feel troubled.
2. Safe Neighborhood
Even if you're a tough guy, living in a safe neighborhood is an important thing that will help you find a good sober living in Nevada. A safe neighborhood is likely to help keep you out of trouble if you can understand that sometimes, bad neighborhoods are more riddled with drugs and of course, that is the last temptation you need after you get out of treatment. You also do not need to have extra worries like your home getting broken into, or worse. Keep your choices to safer areas in Nevada for sober living.
3. What's Included?
While a lot of extras are not exactly necessary, some comforts are nice. Will you have designated parking or will parking always be a problem? Will you have enough space? Is the home nicely furnished? Are there recreation areas nearby? Make a list of what is important to you and that should help you narrow your search down to what makes a good sober living in Nevada for your purposes.
4. Cost
Finding a good sober living in Nevada must also fit into your budget. If the cost is too expensive, then it is not a good fit for you. Unless you can really seek out friends or family to help you cover the cost while you are in sober living, it is best to stick to what is in your budget so that there are never any problems paying what is due.
This is not a complete list of what makes a good sober living in Nevada, but it is a good start if you are not sure what direction to go in.

Design guidelines presented by HYDC Tuesday night showed an option (left) with the historic High Line preserved along 12th Avenue and an option (right) with the structure torn down and replaced with an extension of the platform over the tracks.
On Tuesday, May 8, more than 100 High Line supporters turned out to a public meeting on the future of the West Side Rail
Yards. As you may know, the rail yards section of the High Line (from 30th to 34th Street) is threatened with demolition, even as the southern, railbanked section (from Gansevoort to
30th Street) is under construction as a new park.
The big news of the night: the MTA, which owns the rail yards, announced for the first time that it supports the goal of preserving the High Line structure, if doing so does not present major unforseen costs or obstruct construction on the site. This marks a major advance in our efforts to preserve the High Line at the rail yards, but it does not mean that the future of this part of the High Line is secure. Friends of the High Line must continue to work in upcoming weeks and months to ensure that the entire historic structure of the High Line is preserved at the rail yards. If you are interested in volunteering to help us in this effort, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. And if you'd like to help with a contribution, we've made it easy to donate
The larger purpose of the May 8 meeting, which was hosted by the Hudson Yards Development Corporation (HYDC) and Community
Board 4 was to publicly present, for the first time, design guidelines for the site, created by HYDC.
Download Design Guidelines (1MB PDF)
In May or June, the MTA will issue a Request for Proposals (RFP), and developers will begin to assemble plans and bids.
The presence of so many of FHL's supporters made a big impact on Tuesday night. Thanks to all who attended. Thanks also to Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer,
who spoke at the meeting and voiced his strong support for preservation of the High Line at the rail yards.
Today, Crain's New York Business ran an article in which sources argued that the High Line should be demolished at the rail yards because it would "impede development," citing reasons that Friends
of the High Line has already investigated and disproved. For instance, it was asserted that the High Line would make it difficult for builders to bring cranes to the site. Our expert consultants have studied
this question and found that even the largest cranes can fit under the High Line. In a future e-mail newsletter, we will offer our response to each of the arguments presented in today's
Crain's article (available to online subscribers). Our assessments show that the High Line creates no major cost obstacles to building at the site and that there is currently no credible rationale
for its demolition.
Links to several media reports are below. The articles are varied in their focus and in their level of optimism about the High Line's future. As you can see, this is a complex and
sometimes confusing issue, and we welcome your questions. Please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com with
any questions or concerns.

Between Ourselves: Rebekah Warren
BY Crystal A. Proxmire
Originally printed 2/21/2013 (Issue 2108 - Between The Lines News)
Rebekah Warren is the Michigan State Senator for the 18th District. As an ally, she has pushed for amending the Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act to include protections for LGBT people, as well as equality in adoption laws. Prior to working as a lawmaker she served as executive director of MARAL Pro-Choice Michigan for seven years, where she urged the board of directors to join the Coalition for a Fair Michigan, which organized field efforts and educated voters to oppose the 2004 ballot proposal to ban same-sex marriage.
Since then, she has received the Millie Award from the National Women's Political Caucus, the Legislator of the Year Award from the Michigan Chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) as well as Progress Michigan's Progressive State Representative Cherry Award. She has also been active in the national non-profit Women in Government (WIG), and served as the Michigan state director for the Women Legislators' Lobby (WiLL).
1. Why have you been such a passionate supporter of equality?
I believe in LGBT equality for the same reasons I believe in gender equality and racial equality - we are all people and we deserve the same respect and the same rights afforded to others. It's really that simple for me.
Beyond the ethical considerations though, I also think that Michigan is losing out economically with our regressive LGBT policies. We are creating a state that is unattractive to young people, to diverse families, and to employers who want to properly provide for their workers. As more and more states continue to pass equality legislation, we are falling behind, and it seriously impacts all of us, regardless of our sexual orientation or gender identity.
2. Do you remember who was the first LGBT person to have an impact on your thinking and worldview?
I have lived in Ann Arbor for 23 years, but grew up in Owosso, Michigan, about 40 minutes northeast of Lansing. In high school, I had a friend who struggled with being gay in a small town and the challenges she confronted really made an impression on me. Up to that point, I had not seen the burden that comes with feeling you have to hide a part of yourself, or the fear of rejection by family and friends that can be associated with coming out. Her experience is another reason I am such a passionate supporter of equality.
3. What made you decide to go into politics?
When I was in high school, I decided I wanted to play percussion in the marching band; I had played piano since I was young and decided the drums would be a good new challenge for me. I asked the band director and he flippantly replied, "Girls don't play the drums." I went home and told my mother the story and she promptly went up to the school to speak to the director. Long story short, I was the first woman to play percussion in the Owosso High School marching band.
That experience illustrated to me that we didn't have to accept things as they were; we could push for change, however seemingly small, and make a difference in people's everyday lives. Those are the goals I work to meet as a legislator.
4. What bills have you introduced that specifically affect the LGBT community, and can you explain them briefly?
In both the House and Senate, I have sponsored legislation to add sexual orientation, gender identity and expression to the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act, assuring that no one is denied housing or employment based on whom they love. I have also worked closely with the Coalition for Adoption Rights Equality to introduce a bill to provide for second parent adoption rights, so that all parents may be legally recognized under the law.
For the last three sessions, I have also sponsored and co-sponsored Matt's Safe School Law, which required our public schools to implement policies that prohibit harassment and keep all of our children safe. Recognizing that LGBT children and teens are particularly vulnerable to the alarming increase in school bullying, my version of the bill specifically prohibited harassment based on a pupil's actual or perceived religion, race, color, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, disability, height, weight, gender identity, socioeconomic status, or any other distinguishing characteristic.
5. Having been in Lansing, have you gained any insight into why some politicians are so fervently opposed to LGBT equality?
I think what we see in Lansing, and in Washington, is that unfortunately the establishment is sometimes slow to catch up to the people. Recent polls have shown that support for same-sex marriage has grown at a phenomenal rate, but I feel there is still a perception amongst some of my colleagues that there will be political repercussions if they vote for equality legislation. I am always hopeful with each new session that attitudes will have changed and there will be a resolve in Lansing to move forward, but the current political landscape makes me think this may be one of those instances where the people will have to lead the leaders.
6. What advice do you have for BTL readers who are frustrated with the fighting in Lansing or the slowness of the political process?
My advice is not to let that frustration stop you from engaging in the political process and communicating with our public officials. It may not feel like it all of the time, but I believe the 2012 election showed that we are indeed making progress.
Here in Michigan, Democrats not only secured strong victories for President Barack Obama and Senator Debbie Stabenow, but we picked up five seats in the State House of Representatives. Nationally, three states - Maine, Maryland, and Washington - all approved same-sex marriage by popular vote for the first time in history. Minnesota also became the second state to reject a statewide constitutional ban on same-sex marriage at the ballot box.
These victories confirm what all of the polls have been telling us - that peoples' attitudes are truly evolving, and when we work to educate them and share our personal stories, we make great gains. While we may be frustrated at times, we must continue to make our voices heard, both in Lansing and in our everyday lives.To learn more about State Senator Warren, visit her website at http://www.rebekahwarren.com.

localBrookwood grad Bowles takes South Cobb job Brookwood grad Daniel Bowles has been named the new head boys basketball coach at South Cobb High School, replacing the outgoing Tommy McWhorter. McWhorter is now the head boys coach at Berkmar. Bowles, 26, was an assistant coach at Chattahoochee last season and previously spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Southern Polytechnic State University, helping the team to two NAIA national tournament appearances. He also taught at Brookwood during his time at Southern Poly. He inherits a South Cobb team that was 53-6 the previous two seasons and has won three straight region titles. Norcross' Godwin to sign with Augusta State Jasmine Godwin, a 2006 Norcross grad, has committed to Augusta State University. She will sign with the Jaguars next week. The daughter of Carrie Lawrence, she was a two-year varsity starter at Norcross. Central's Funderburke commits to Palm Beach CC Central Gwinnett's Lonnie Funderburke has accepted a scholarship to Palm Beach Community College in Lake Worth, Fla. The 6-foot-8 Funderburke averaged 6.1 rebounds as a senior for the Black Knights. Stancil, Howard make All-Star game rosters Gwinnett grads Hans Stancil and Matt Howard, both rising seniors on the Georgia College and State University baseball team, recently were named All-Stars in their respective summer leagues. Stancil, who graduated from Parkwood Christian Academy in Lilburn, was named to the Coastal Plain League All-Star Game. The second baseman is hitting .307 with two home runs, 26 RBIs and 20 stolen bases in 32 games for the Martinsville Mustangs. Howard, a North Gwinnett grad, made the Northwoods League All-Star Game. The pitcher has a 3-2 record with a 2.25 ERA for the Thunder Bay Border Cats from Ontario. state Auburn star Shirley leads Georgia Women's Open by 5 shots NEWNAN - Margaret Shirley, set for her junior season at Auburn, post an 8-under-par 64 in the opening round and bolted to a 5-shot lead halfway through the 36-hole Yamaha Georgia Women's Open on Tuesday. Shirley's 64 set a tournament record, beating by a shot the mark set by her former Auburn teammate and the defending champion, Diana Ramage of Fayetteville. Ramage, currently on the LPGA Tour, was tied for fifth place after shooting 72 despite two double bogeys. Shirley, an amateur from Roswell, held her 5-shot lead over two other amateurs, Laura Coble of Augusta and Kyu Ri Ban of Duluth, both with 69s. national Barbaro's trainer encouraged by signs of stability KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. - Barbaro trainer Michael Matz was encouraged Tuesday by the colt's recent stability in his health, though he noted the Kentucky Derby winner's condition could still turn any time. ''He could take a turn for the worse or get an infection again, you just don't know,'' Matz said in a telephone interview. ''It's just a slow road now. If he keeps having days like he's having now, then hopefully everything will be fine.'' Matz said Barbaro vet Dean Richardson told him the colt had another restful night and his vital signs were normal. Smith fired as Islanders GM, replaced by goalie Garth Snow UNIONDALE, N.Y. - Neil Smith was abruptly fired after less than a month as general manager of the Islanders and replaced Tuesday by New York goalie Garth Snow, who retired to take over the position. Islanders owner Charles Wang said Smith told him he had difficulty working within the team's revamped front office. ''In light of our differences, I felt that I had no choice but to make this decision,'' Wang said in a statement. Red Bulls hire former U.S. national team coach Arena SECAUCUS, N.J. - Bruce Arena didn't have to wait long to find a new job. The former U.S. national team coach was hired by Major League Soccer's New York Red Bulls on Tuesday. Last Friday, the U.S. Soccer Federation opted not to renew Arena's contract with the national team. Arena will replace interim coach Richie Williams, who was elevated to the top spot when head coach Mo Johnston was fired on June 27. In five games under Williams, New York was 1-3-1. The Red Bulls are 3-6-8 this season - the fewest wins in the league - and are last in the Eastern Conference with 17 points. Only the Western Conference's Real Salt Lake has fewer points. Tennessee replaces UCF with La.-Lafayette in '07 KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessee has accepted a game buyout from Central Florida and replaced them on the 2007 home schedule with Louisiana-Lafayette. Central Florida, which was set to play in Knoxville on Sept. 29, exercised its option and paid Tennessee $10,000 to cancel the game, Tennessee announced Tuesday. Tennessee then signed Louisiana-Lafayette for a game Nov. 3, and turned the Sept. 29 spot into an open date. That gives the Vounteers another week to prepare for SEC Eastern Division rival Georgia, which comes to Knoxville on Oct. 6, 2007. The Vols only previous meeting with Louisiana-Lafayette was in 1992, when the school was known as Southwestern Louisiana. UT won 38-3. - From staff, wire reports

The shoulder straps do not look like they are removable. The interior straps to hold the rifles are not adjustable. So no matter what gun you put in the case, the gun will be on the ground with little padding between the gun and the ground. If two rifles are put into this case, they will be on top of each other if "dragged" . The over all design looks ok. However, this case needs a lot more padding before it will be first class. A dozen magazine pouches should also be added.

The 1972 summer Olympics are mostly remembered for tragedy, rather than sporting achievements. It was there that 11 Israelis were killed after being taken hostage by members of a Palestinian militant group, Black September, on 5 September.

More Kids face Child Porn Charges for texting nude pics
Here we go again. This time 6 middle school kids face child porn charges because one kid took a nude pic of his girlfriend (age 13) and texted it to his friends. Now they all face child porn charges.
FALMOUTH - Six middle school students could face child porn charges after a boy took a nude photo of his 13-year-old girlfriend and sexted it to his pals cell phones, cops said.
The six boys, ages 12 to 14, will be summoned to Falmouth District Court for a hearing to determine whether they should be charged with possessing, exhibiting or distributing child porn in the form of a text message photo, according to The Cape Cod Times.
Wendy Murphy, who lectures on sex crimes at the New England School of Law, said sexting almost has become an epidemic. Murphy said, I know it seems heavy-handed to bring child porn charges. Law enforcement is using the only tool it has for what has become a huge problem nationwide. http://bostonherald.com/news/regiona...ome&position=3
Ridiculous, desperate ... one or the otherOriginally Posted by Madanthonywayne
The girl is not of age to consent to the photo or its distribution.
Any of your kids daughters?

Child pornography laws exist to prevent children from getting coerced and exploited by adults, because a blatant power imbalance exists between the two.
Taking the broader viewOriginally Posted by Copernicus66
Child pornography laws exist to prevent children from getting coerced and exploited by adults, because a blatant power imbalance exists between the two.
What we're looking at seems to be a hole in the law, an inability by authority figures to find another recourse. The tool they have is child pornography. Even I would agree that they need a better tool. Brain surgery and chainsaws come to mind.
We might furthermore consider the comparison to sexual intercourse and abortion. (Speaking of absurdity, that is.)
The decision to engage in sexual intercourse occurs between two people. That a girl might consent to sex with Joe does not mean she consents to sex with Bill or Tom or Ralph. Furthermore, the actual sexual intercourse occurs between two people. The distribution of a photograph to several other people, quite obviously, involves other people.
Were the girl of age, she could consent to having her picture taken, and give specific consent to its distribution. While some might argue that allowing her boyfriend to take a nude picture of her is her right, it is a tougher argument to make for its distribution.
I occupy a middle ground on this issue. That is, I agree with psychologist Sari Locker, who said, "Clearly these boys are not sexual predators or pedophiles .... They're looking at a girl who's the same age as they are, and they have a healthy curiosity."
So in the long run, child porn charges probably aren't the answer. But what is? Perhaps we should just leave it at "no-foul" and increase the simmering distrust between males and females? You know, it would be a very simple instruction to a girl: Don't ever, ever trust a boy to be a decent human being.
How about you, C66? Have any daughters?
(The ironic thing, of course, is that it used to be liberals who were accused of wanting children to fuck recklessly. Now it's my conservative neighbor, Madanthonywayne, who wants them to be porn stars.)

In the long run, in the short run, in any run, child porn charges definitely are not the answer.

This is much less interesting than the previous cases where two teenagers who were dating and legally having sex emailed nude pictures of themselves to each other. The fact that the pictures were being distributed to other people, and distributed by someone other than the person who was depicted in the picture adds new elements.
That being said, I'm somewhat confused about how they could charge the kids who merely received the pictures, unless perhaps they could prove that the recipients requested them or something.

The usual justification for outlawing pictures of underage children is that it encourages people to try to have sex with them, which would be illegal. But if it's legal for the people possessing the pictures to have sex with the person depicted in the pictures, justifying the prohibition gets much trickier. Which isn't to say that it isn't still illegal, just that the rational used to justify the law is now somewhat strained.

This is were the law has reared it's ugly head of psuedo-science, imposing moral prefernces upon the population. The human body is not filthy to scientists or natural thinkers. Society has had a perverse psychology imposed upon them about sex in general indicating it is somehow nasty fundamentally; theirin lies the nature of the problem which propogates psuedo-scientific law regarding sexual acts and media.
In order for any act to be criminal you must find empirical evidence of harm. These young adults are have a good time and moral outrage is ruining their normal, natural fun. I'd smack the prosecuter and judge hard for aggravating these yound men and women with their fucking bullshit morals if I had the upper hand here. My message to them: Keep you filthy perceptions of harmless fun and games to your perverted self!

It's going to be interesting what the punishment will be, because it surely will be revealing an imminent contradiction.
People 18+ get punishments for this type of activity close to what a murderer gets. In their eyes this punishment fits the crime. Juveniles are treated differently. The crime is taken just a serious, but due to their age there is a sliding scale that decreases the punishment.
If they are consistent with their sliding scale these boys will be spending years behind bars. This won't happen because it will no doubt create a public uproar.
If they don't do anything, then young adults will mock the law and continue doing it, getting notoriety for what they believe to be their sexually popular bodies. This won't happen, because the moralists within the legal system have an agenda to keep the human body in it's naked depiction criminalized. They surely will not want to be scoffed by what they call criminal 13 year olds.
This leaves hand slapping by comparison of similar minor and adult punishments for like crimes. This inconsistency will no doubt show the 18+ consequences to be out of proportion.
Due to inexpensiveness of quality recording technology the rich and poor, young and old are able to capture our experiences better than we ever have. No longer is it memory that fades with time and age, but it can be permanentized digitally and remembered in authenticity for our entire lives, cherished into our later years.
The way things are going at the present moment only implies if you tape your sweetheart on the special night you had with her for the first time and you possess it as an adult and it is found on you computer hard drive by the moral authority you will be facing prison, listed as a sex offender and pedophile. . It is clear, as we move into the future we cannot let the moralist use their radical ideals that destroy the constitutial rights of individuals to free expression and dictate our ability to use technology to improve our recall of precious and joyous moments of our life. It is an assault on expression, privacy, happiness, our lives.
Who are they to be dictating in essence what we remember? If they had the control, they would no doubt enter our minds and destroy every thought they found repulsive to their moral agenda. It is our brain cells that hold these memories, our hard drives, our memory chips. Stay the fuck out of our lives and quite making young people feel guilty for harmless natural drives and good ole fun and games.
Short story on the Tiassa posts - get rid of the men/boys except the faggity useless ones.

Just some information to consider: You're paying a month's worth, twelve times indefinitely. Once you sign up for this contract you are legally bound to pay blizzard nearly nearly $200 (for Americans). I'm not arguing that you shouldn't do it, if you're financially sound then by all means. Just don't invest in this if you have any doubt you won't be able to pay one month.
Personally, I would rush to sign up for the annual pass. I would love free D3 and another sparkle pony. The problem is as a college student will I really be able to maintain $16.16 twelve times when I am currently unemployed? Will I be able to enjoy all twelve of the months that I'm paying for? Sure I'll have Diablo 3 but that doesn't have a release date yet.
Again, make your own decision. I just hate for thousands of people to jump on the annual pass just because of the deals therein, which is exactly what Blizzard wants.
It's worth noting that there is zero downside to this. If you sign up and don't pay for a month, all you lose is the ability to play diablo 3 and use your pony- which were FREE to begin with. So if it gets to the point where you want to take a break- u can take it, no financial ramifications. Just no more free stuff.

Hmmph. If you know you're not going to be cancelling within the next year (and you do know that if you sign up for the annual pass), then it'd be silly to not take advanage of the $12.99 per month rate you get when you buy six months at a time. So, you're committing to pay at least $155.88, not "nearly $200". If you choose to pay more than that, that's fine, but that's all you're committed to. If you were likely to keep subscribed most of that time anyhow, but were paying month-to-month for the flexibility, what you've committed to is actually saving you money, even without considering the value of the extras.

No it shows you haven't been playing a hunter long enough or encountered some of the many different ways that hunters play. Let me first of all state some simple facts that show you havent played a hunter long enough,
1. A melee hunter with buff to melee or not is still the worst idea since their armor can still be easily ripped through by other melee.
2. There are plenty of ways to get out of the melee zone in a fraction of a second. If you get killed because you cant keep someone out of melee range than you have other issues to deal with.
3. Hunter pets are increasingly becoming issues in raids and 5 mans because the desire for pets to achieve agro solo has caused them to disrupt the delicate agro balance that other tanking classes require. Sure you can turn growl off but still it gives anyone an excuse to kick you simple because they do not like your pet.
4. A temporary pet doesnt need to be managed on a constant basis compared to a permenent pet that often does. Besides if hunters were strong enough on their own without the pet with high dps similar to mage level than adding a pet for a short time would in fact serve as a considerable boost to dps.
5. Last of all there is this wonderful invention bliz put in called dual spec. If you feel you have the need for a pet at your side constantly than you can just have one talent tree be full on beastmastery and the other on whether you prefer mm or survival. These days you dont have to be permemently chained to the hip to the spec that seems the most important.
With all these things in consideration my idea actually makes some sense and would allow hunters to truly show whether a hunter can stand on its own like many other classes. If a hunter is just not ready to do that there is still classic bm though just in case you don't think you are ready to be alone.

MONDAY, Oct. 28 (HealthDay News) -- Smokers are most likely to think about kicking their habit on Mondays, according to a new study, and this finding may help boost the effectiveness of anti-smoking campaigns.
For the study, the investigators monitored online searches about quitting smoking that were conducted in English, French, Chinese, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish worldwide between 2008 and 2012.
The results showed that people searched about quitting smoking more often early in the week, with the number of searches highest on Mondays. The number of searches on Mondays was 25 percent higher than the combined average number of searches on Tuesday through Sunday.
This pattern was consistent across all six languages, according to the study, which was published Oct. 28 in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.
On Mondays, searches in English for information about quitting smoking were 11 percent higher than on Wednesdays, 67 percent higher than on Fridays and 145 percent higher than on Saturdays, the results showed.
These findings may lead to changes in the way health officials and providers design anti-smoking programs, said study lead author John Ayers, of San Diego State University.
"Popular belief has been that the decision to quit smoking is unpredictable or even chaotic," Ayers said in a university news release. "By taking a bird's-eye view of Google searches, however, we find anything but chaos. Instead, Google search data reveals interest in quitting is part of a larger collective pattern of behavior dependent on the day of the week."
Study co-author Joanna Cohen, director of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Global Tobacco Control, suggested that "campaigns for people to quit may benefit from shifting to weekly cues. We know it takes smokers many quit attempts before they succeed, so prompting them to try again on Mondays may be an effective and easy-to-implement campaign."
Further research is needed to learn more about the reasons for these findings and how they could help boost quit rates, Ayers said, but the immediate message for smokers is straightforward: "If you're a smoker, just remember: Quit this Monday. Everyone else is doing it."

Pleasant Wisconsin roads. Stopped in town of Owen, had picnic as lots of bread, summer sausage and cheese in cooler.

Very hot -- above 90 and humid. Had 2nd stop just across St Croix, possibly Lake Rebecca Park.
Time with grandkids
... I took the three older ones to visit the Mepps (www.mepps.com) fishing lure factory in Antigo, Wisconsin. I remember bringing my son, Dan, here when he was younger. We had a 30 minute tour of the assembly area and then met one of the owners, Dan Sheldon. Thanks to my son, Dan (who is a friend of Dan Sheldon's'), the kids were given free Mepps lures. The look on their faces ...

Futbol WAGs: Cheryl Cole is Inked All Over
Our favorite British sensation has been spotted with a new tattoo above her… behind? Technically called the "tramp stamp," the new tattoo seems to be… everywhere. We're not sure how we feel about this one… sure the one behind her neck was pretty cute (until she realized she was getting a divorce), and the one on her hand is… unique. But this one? We don't even know what it is except a bunch of lines! Oh, and of course the barbed wire/thorns on her leg. Yeah, we don't like that one that much.

Retts Syndrome
Definition: A neurological development disorder, seen most commonly in girls, is known as Rett's Syndrome. Rett's Syndrome is categorized by the normal development of the brain followed by a slower development. A loss of coordination, a loss of hand use all together, distinguishable hand movements, having issues with walking, intellectual disabilities, and even seizures.
The individual who discovered this particular syndrome is known as Dr. Andreas Rett from Austria, who had first brought this disorder into the medical world through a journal article in1966. This disorder was not recognized until 1983 when a Swedish researcher, Dr. Bengt Hagberg, also wrote an article.
Those children who are diagnosed with Rett's Syndrome generally exhibit symptoms similar to those of the autistic child. Some of the most common symptoms found in children who have Rett's Syndrome include:
- walking on toes
- issues with sleeping
- having a difficult time chewing
- grinding of the teeth
- growth is slowed
- seizures
- hyperventilation
- apnea
- cognitive disabilities as well as a wide-based gait.
Stages of Rett's Syndrome
With Rett's Syndrome there are four stages known to the disorder:
Stage one, known as an early onset, starts between the ages of 6 and 18 months old. Many doctors overlook this stage due to the disorder being vague at times. Both parents and doctors may not instantaneously notice the subtle slowing of developmental happenings with the child. Whether it is less eye contact from the infant or they seem to be uninterested in their toys, it is not enough to draw attention to this particular diagnosis. This particular stage generally lasts only a few months but is able to continue on for more than one year.
Stage two is the destructive stage, known as the rapid destructive stage. This generally takes place between ages 1 and 4 lasting for any number of weeks or months. The signs of this stage or generally loss of movement in hands or in the child's language skills; hand gestures such as clapping, tapping, or washing, then moving hands to their mouth are key points at the early stages.
Stage three is the plateau stage, also known as the pseudo-stationary stage. This generally occurs between the ages of 2 and 10, sometimes lasting for many years. Both motor issues as well as seizures are prominent during this particular stage. On the other hand, there will be a significant improvement in behavior such as less irritability, crying, or autism-like symptoms. Many with Rett's Syndrome can or will remain in this stage for most of their lives.
Stage four is known as the motor deterioration stage lasting for years or even decades. The curving of the spine, even more reduced mobility, weak muscles, spasticity, or rigidity are all signs and symptoms of this fourth stage.
There is currently no cure for Rett's Syndrome, and is generally treated by focusing on the management of the symptoms exhibited by the individual. Generally there is medication needed for breathing, as well as regular monitoring for other possible illnesses such as scoliosis and heart abnormalities. Despite how difficult it may be at times, individuals with Rett's Syndrome can live into their late 40's, 50's, and even beyond with this disorder.

@ Avan 1-1=0 Two end games unless you are a priest.
We will have to wait and see what "really" happens in 3.1. While this appears to be a great patch for Discipline Priests it is nothing more than a pacifier for the Holy tree. PoH is still limited to group healing, instead of healing your group you can heal someone else's, sounds like a logistical nightmare to me. The explanation for Serendipity – this talent now reduces the cast time of Greater Heal and Prayer of Healing when Binding Heal or Flash Heal are cast. Something is missing and I'm not ready to jump up and down until I actually know what it is. CoH still has a 6 sec CD but will be buffed healing so my toes are tapping but I still don't see any numbers to decide one way or the other. As things stand today at end game we can kind of PvE and are pretty much shut out of PvP so while most Priests have their Pom Poms out and dancing a jig, I just can't see why.

Winnebago County wins the legal battle against one man over freedom of speech. At least for now.
The case, tried in federal court, lasted three days, but it's based off of accusations from four years ago. The plaintiff, Rockford resident Mike Castronovo, sued Winnebago County Board Chairman Scott Christiansen and former board member Pearl Hawks. Castronovo claims his 1st Amendment right to free speech was violated on three separate occasions. Jury members needed almost four hours Wednesday afternoon to decide.
"The jury came back and found no liability on behalf of either Mrs. Hawks or Chairman Christiansen." -says Winnebago County Deputy State's Attorney David Kurlinkus.
Castronovo says back in 2009, he was either not allowed to speak, or what he said was changed at two committee meetings and one full county board meeting. He believes this violated his right to free speech. Defendants argue, back then, committee meetings weren't traditional public forums. As for the full board meeting, the county says Castronovo was given his time to make public comment, but following board policy, he wasn't allowed to talk about individual county employees. Castronovo says he wanted to see changes made by winning this case.
"I was hoping to see the county open up more free speech and to back off to allow citizens more opportunity to give input to improve government, to make things better. We need that around here." -he explains.
Kurlinkus says policy changes are always a possibility.
"We always review things. The county board reviews things all the time. Every two years, with every election, the county board re-visits and sometimes changes or modifies rules and order of procedure. That's actually what governs the county board meetings."
After four years, two-and-a-half spent working through the court system, Castronovo is left with a loss.
"It's disappointing. I really believe that this was more of a tragedy for the citizens of Winnebago County than for me. I believe our free speech rights will not be easily restored at this point."
On the win, Kurlinkus says, "This is what the justice system is all about. Bringing a group of jurors together, listening to evidence, examining evidence, testimony and then coming up with a decision. That's what came here and we're very gratified they found things the way that we explained them."
Castronovo says from here, he'll decide if there's anything he can do next, needs to do next, or if this is a battle for someone else to take up in the future. He says he's undecided on filing an appeal. During the trial, his lawyer made a motion for a directed verdict, where instead of a jury, the judge applies law to decide if there's a 1st Amendment violation. Both sides are still waiting on the judge's ruling for that piece. After that's handed down, Castronovo will decide whether or not to appeal.

Narrow your search
If you can't quite afford the Yoga 2 Pro but still want a full-time laptop and a part-time tablet, the 13-inch Lenovo Yoga 2 is an excellent choice.
With their 360-degree rotating screens, the new 13.3-inch Pavilion and 15.6-inch Envy x360 convertibles join the budget-friendly 11.6-inch x360 from earlier this year.
The HP DreamScreen is a decent a photo frame and Pandora Internet radio, but it's weighed down by several lukewarm features and an interface that demands patience.
The iPad 2 refines an already excellent product. Its easy-to-use interface, vast app catalog, and marathon battery life bolster Apple's claim to being the king of tablets.
If you own a MacBook Air from the past couple of years there's really no need to upgrade, but a small spec bump and minor price cut make the most-current Air even more attractive.
While the 13-inch MacBook Pro remains a well-built laptop, it's fallen behind the MacBook Air and Retina Display MacBook Pro in design, lacks higher-end upgrades, and feels too expensive compared with the competition.
This year's MacBook Air opts for gradual improvements rather than anything revolutionary, but lowered prices continue to make it the go-to mainstream recommendation for any MacBook owner-to-be.
Caseable laptop and gadget sleeves are blank canvases for creative minds, letting you tweak patterns and colors, or even upload your own images.
Apple keeps the latest MacBook Air updates on the inside, but greatly improved battery life and a lower starting price make up for a lack of flashy design changes.
If you're one of those people who need to tote a MacBook and iPad around at the same time, the Cocoon CLS456 is custom-made for you.

Trevecca decides to "Enjoy Coca Cola"
After being a "Pepsi product campus" for many years, Trevecca will switch to Coke products in June, when its current contract with Pepsi ends. The decision to make this change was based on input from students and employees, collected via a survey.
Engaging the campus community in the decision, said David Caldwell, Trevecca executive vice president for finance and administration, was a natural part of the process. "I don't personally know any better way to make a decision than to have the best feedback possible," he said. "The end user provides the best feedback. Many persons expressed a desire that Trevecca consider Coke."
In the negotiations both Pepsi and Coke offered very appealing proposals, said Caldwell; however, the benefits offered by Coke and the pro-Coke responses from members of the campus community sealed the decision to change. Coke will install newer vending machines on campus, ones with many more credit-card options, and the price will remain at $1.25. Additionally, users will have many more options—organic tea, Smart Water, naturally flavored zer0-calorie waters, and coconut water (which students requested). Coke will also install a vending machine outside, as part of the athletic rest room facility, to serve persons attending games on the softball, soccer, and baseball fields.
"As an indirect result of the contract, Trevecca will have all new scoreboards for athletics," added Caldwell. "Since the 1950s Trevecca has enjoyed a relationship with Pepsi. The Pepsi-Trevecca relationship has been a good one. Campus customers wanted a change."

10 apps for the iPad not to be overlooked
Summary: These apps may not be the most well-known, but they shouldn't be overlooked by iPad owners.
7 of 11Image
Hotels.com is a good way to find and book hotels for trips, and this app puts a nice HD interface on the process. You search for the dates and destinations of interest and the app presents the available hotels in a format that makes it easy to decide what's best.
Once you decide on a hotel you can book the room right inside the app. This app is a must-have for frequent travelers.
Sports fans need to grab this app right now. It pulls a wealth of information, including video clips, about all of the user's favorite teams. It presents it in a good format for keeping up on the local teams.
You can enable notifications so you'll always get the latest information in real time.
Keeping up with current events and finding interesting things to read is a great way to use the iPad. The popular apps like Flipboard and Zite are nice, but this app has a twist that makes following the news really cool.
While the app pulls news of interest from popular online sources, it also lets you connect to your Twitter account. This lets you pull news that is being read by the people you follow on Twitter. You click on a friend's Twitter avatar and instantly see the news articles that your friend is reading.
The news is presented in an attractive format that takes full advantage of the iPad display.

Picture this. It's 1949 and you're reading the newly published Bartholomew and the Oobleck. You flip the pages and see green goop falling from the sky. Twenty-first century you might be thinking acid-rain-ozone-global-warming-world-is-ending (and we'll get to that), but in 1949, you're probably thinking duck and cover. The experts agree:
"Bartholomew […] rework[s] the wartime realities of assault from the air and territorial occupation into backdrops of children's tales." (Source.)
That's right. That green goop is quite a bit scarier when we think of it in terms of war. Assaults from above were a major reality in 1949, and the oobleck is just another manifestation of that.

This week's edition of US OK! magazine claims that Brad and Ange will walk down the aisle 'sometime this summer' (NZ winter), in a 'small but sylish' ceremony at their French château.
Apparently the couple's six kids are 'extremely bothered' by the fact that their parents aren't married, but a source tells the mag Brangelina rather enjoy the whole will they won't they media hoo-ha.
"Brad and Angie have kept this quiet, and they're talking about how and when to announce it," said the source, adding: "They really get a kick out of teasing people with this whole thing."
OK really has the inside dig on this one – they even know how the newlyweds will spend their honeymoon, claiming: 'Brad and Angelina will be…painting the nursery for the twin boys' that Ange is supposedly pregnant with right now!
So, there we have it. Wealthy couple to marry after seven years, will celebrate by engaging in menial labour.


text: …but, barring inj*** to a roster forward, I would be surprised if he plays another game for the Kings. It's not really that the Kings are 3-0 since he's been a healthy scratch. Or that two of those wins were against two of the best teams in the league. Or that team offense has leapt from 7 goals in the previous four losses to 13 goals in the last three wins. It's the emergence of Parse, Segal and Richardson, and the reemergence of Moller. I can't imagine any of those four losing his spot to Purcell. He's cheap and it makes sense to keep him around just in case someone gets the lower/upper body bug. But it seems like he's basically doomed.

(via Edmonton doesn't exist?! | Columnists | Opinion | Edmonton Sun)
"Every year around this time, the Economist Intelligence Unit's releases its report on the world's most livable cities with much fanfare. The Economist is a leading international news and business magazine."
Edmonton never makes the list.
"The answer, finally dug out of the Economist people, was that since Calgary and Edmonton were in such close proximity, only one needed to be scrutinized, and it was going to be Calgary.
We were not even considered for the list! In the eyes of the authors of this prestigious survey, Edmonton does not exist."

1 World Trade Center is tallest US building, experts rule
One World Trade Center in New York has been declared the tallest building in the United States, topping the Willis Tower in Chicago, an architectural organization ruled today.
The Associated Press reports that the tower built on the site of the 9/11 attacks stands at a symbolically important 1,776 feet tall including the 408-foot needle. It officially would have been considered 1,368 feet tall without the needle. The Willis Tower is 1,451 feet tall.

The steel frame of One World Trade Center is expected to surpass the Empire State Building in height on Monday, weather permitting, making it the tallest building in Manhattan, officials tell The Asbury Park Press. This video shows time-lapse footage of the building's construction over the last few years, released by webcam network operator EarthCam.

Dean Ruck conceived of Big Bubble after reviewing the Buffalo Bayou Master Plan's call for increasing aeration in the waterway. He was selected from a national competition for projects in Sesquicentennial Park.
"I didn't want to announce it as a piece of art. It's an occurrence, an event, a happening. The button itself is up there unannounced, and so it creates a real curiosity to people that come across it – it's just a red button. Do I push it or don't I? – You know? What's it gonna do? So, I liked that idea that it's not a labeled or plaque piece of art. It's just something that people discover. Obviously, there's a certain ephemeral quality to it because it's not always there to see. It happens occasionally. You have to be here at the right time to see it. It creates a certain mythology of its own by what's going on there, what it's for, what its function is, how it's – how it's created. So I like that idea of it not being thought of or – or seen as a piece of art, but it just – something in the bayou."

Arcade Fire was named the winner of the 2011 Polaris Music Prize, capping a year in which they also won top Grammy and Juno awards for their groundbreaking third album, The Suburbs.
"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of a band before, it can be the best thing in the world and if you have heard of a band before, it doesn't mean that it sucks," said Win Butler, lead singer of the group, accepting the award. (Illustration by Kagan McLeod)

Culture Club: Kanye & Jay-Z, bearers of the throne
Watch the Throne, the record released digitally on Monday by Kanye West and Jay-Z, is not only one of the year's most anticipated releases, but may also be the precursor of a potentially disturbing new trend: the return of the supergroup. With Mick Jagger in the studio with Joss Stone and Damian Marley, and Dave Grohl and Jack White making music with everyone, we wondered: Are we about to see a new wave of supergroups take over the Billboard charts? And if so, is that a good thing? (Illustration by Kagan McLeod)

24 Hour Worlds Return to Canmore - New World Titles for 2 & 3 Person Team Categories
The planets' best
24 Hour Solo, Two-Person and Three-Person Coed racers will return to Canmore,
Alberta Canada, next September to battle the elements, time and themselves to
claim the prestigious title of World 24 Hour Mountain Bike Champion.
The Canmore venue
is the birthplace of the World 24 Hour Mountain Bike Championships, having
hosted the first-ever Worlds in 1999. "Canmore is a gem in the heart of the
Canadian Rockies,� states Stuart Dorland, President of the promotion company
twenty4sports. "We are ecstatic to announce the return of the Worlds to where
it all started, and racer feedback has been nothing but stellar. We�ve already
got a world class field signed up and we�re nine months away from the event!�
That "world
class� field includes experienced 24 hour champions from around the world like
Tinker Juarez (Cannondale), Josh Tostado (Bach Builders), Kelly Magelky (Honey
Stinger/Trek), Cory Wallace, and Leighton Poidevin.
In addition to
the established Solo Men's, Women's, Single-Speed and Age Group categories, the
2012 Championships will award World Titles to two-person open and three-person
co-ed teams. "We've tested the team format over the years, and have been
receiving global requests for multi-person categories," continues Dorland,
"we're pleased to accommodate the needs of the MTB endurance team
community starting with the 2012 Worlds."
The World 24 Hour
Mountain Bike Championships is limited to a total field of 530 riders, who need
to qualify in order to participate. Solo and Team riders can qualify at these
approved events while team riders must also provide a team race resume for
consideration. Click here to read details of the qualifying criteria.
"We are
thrilled that twenty4sports are bringing the World's back,"
comments Ron Casey, Mayor of Canmore. "It's going to be sort of a
'homecoming', so we're building on the excitement for next year and welcoming
these fine athletes into our community."

On Baby Blue Ivy Carter and the Alleged Ugliness of Blackness
Jay-Z at Obama's presidential inauguration.
Photo Credit: michaelwhitney at Flickr.
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Besides reading straight news stories and some of Jorge Rivas's Beyonce Baby Absurdities, I've avoided most things Blue Ivy Carter. I knew if indulged in even a smidgen more about this little girl, I'd find myself walking among stunted souls who traffic in the idea that the full lips, large eyes, broad nose and dark brown skin of a Jay-Z is inherently ugly.
But then, in a reckless act of masochism, I did it anyway. Here's a sampling of the stomach-tightening invective I've read online:
"hopefully she gets most of her looks from her mother's side."
"thats gonna be one ugly nigga baby with big ass lips and a dirty ass weave."
"i just hope beyonce genetics dont get over powered by camel genes."
"I had a dog named Blue! Poor kid—all of the talent and money in the world won't do her much good if she looks like Jay-Z."
"I had no idea that that 'adorable' and 'Jay Z's nose, eyes and lips' could have been used in the same sentence. I wish them the best of luck though!! <3 <3"
"i NEED pictures cause that baby don't sound "adorable" She got all the ugly traits of Jay-Z..not to be mean or rude & talk about a kid or nun but that baby sound ugly."
Even with the grain of salt with which I take online comments, I do believe these statements are a true expression of what too many people—my people—are saying about this child and feeling about themselves. There's nothing I can write to make this better. Not addressing it won't make it better, either.
There is, though, some beauty to be had in matters like colorism. Personally, I've found solace in good books,particularly works of fiction that allow me to process the nauseating reality from a distance. People can be so ugly, but words are pretty.
One such book is "Maude Martha," the debut novel by the late and greatly missed poet Gwendolyn Brooks. In her unfettered, masterful prose, Brooks shows us how some women of color look in the mirror and assess what they see with pragmatism rather than self-destructive melodrama. Listen to her main character, Maud, as she takes stock of allure:
I am what he would call—sweet. But I am certainly not what he would call pretty. … Pretty would be a little cream-colored thing with curly hair. Or at the very lowest pretty would be a little curly-haired thing the color of cocoa with a lot of milk in it. Whereas, I am the color of cocoa straight, if you can be even that "kind" to me.
Then, through dialogue between Maud and her suave husband-to-be, Paul, Brooks reminds us that women are not alone in this thing:
"Fatherhood," said Paul, "is not exactly in my line. But it would be all right to have a couple or so of kids, good-looking in my pocket so to speak."
"I am not a pretty woman, said Maud Martha. "If you married a pretty woman, you could be the father of pretty children. Envied by people. The father of beautiful children."
"But I don't know," said Paul. "Because my features aren't fine. They aren't regular. They're heavy. They're real Negro features. I'm light, or at least I can claim to be sort of low-toned yellow, and my hair has a teeny crimp. But even so I'm not handsome."
No, there would be little "beauty" getting born out of such a union.
Still, mused Maud Martha, I am what he would call—sweet, and I am good, and he will marry me.

- UAL has several cost saving initiatives underway that could result in annual savings of $2 billion by 2017.
