John McCain picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a maverick conservative with less than two years in office, as his vice presidential running mate Friday in a startling choice as the Republican National Convention drew near.
At a raucous rally in the swing state of Ohio, McCain introduced Palin as the political partner "who can best help me shake up Washington and make it start working again for the people who are counting on us."
Palin, the first Republican woman tapped for national office, promised: "I'm going to take our campaign to every part of our country and our message of reform to every voter of every background in every political party, or no party at all."
"… Politics isn't just a game of competing interests and clashing parties," added the woman who has built her career in large measure by challenging fellow Republicans. "The people of America expect us to seek public office and to serve for the right reasons."
In a fast-developing presidential campaign, McCain made his selection six days after his Democratic rival, Barack Obama, named Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, as his running mate.
The contrast between the two announcements was remarkable — Obama, 47, picked a 65-year-old running mate with long experience in government and a man whom he said was qualified to be president.
On his 72nd birthday, McCain chose a 44-year-old running mate who until recently was the mayor of small-town Wasilla, Alaska — and made no claim she was ready to sit in the Oval Office.
His campaign issued a statement saying she was, but even so, it wasn't a point lost on Obama's campaign.
"Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency," Adrianne Marsh, a spokeswoman for Obama, said in a written statement.
Unlike Biden, who attacked McCain sharply in his debut last week, Palin was indirect in her initial attempts to elevate McCain over Obama.
"There is only one candidate who has truly fought for America and that man is John McCain," she said as the Arizona senator beamed. McCain was a prisoner of war for more than five years in Vietnam.
McCain trails Obama in the polls among women voters, and Palin moved quickly to remedy that.
She mentioned that she followed in the footsteps of Geraldine Ferraro, who was the Democratic vice presidential running mate in 1984, and referred favorably to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who drew 18 million votes in her unsuccessful run against Obama for the Democratic nomination.
"But it turns out the women of America aren't finished yet and we can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all," she said.
Republicans said that McCain hoped to blunt Obama's message of political change with his pick, and it appeared likely she could remove all doubt about her home state in the fall campaign.
Obama has targeted Alaska and its three electoral votes, one of several he hoped to turn competitive in the fall despite its long tradition of voting Republican.
Palin has a strong anti-abortion record, and her selection was praised warmly by social conservatives whose support McCain needs to prevail in the campaign for the White House.
President Bush complimented McCain for "an exciting decision."
"Governor Palin is a proven reformer who is a wise steward of taxpayer dollars and champion for accountability in government," a presidential statement said. "By selecting a working mother with a track record of getting things done, Senator McCain has once again demonstrated his commitment to reforming Washington."
"It's an absolutely brilliant choice," said Mathew Staver, dean of Liberty University School of Law. "This will absolutely energize McCain's campaign and energize conservatives," he predicted.
With his pick, McCain passed over more prominent contenders like Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, as well as others such as former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, whose support for abortion rights might have sparked unrest at the convention that opens Monday in St. Paul, Minn.
The timing of McCain's selection appeared designed to limit any political gain Obama derives from his own convention, which ended Thursday night with his nominating acceptance speech before an estimated 84,000 in Invesco Field in Colorado.
Public opinion polls show a close race between Obama and McCain, and with scarcely two months remaining until the election, neither contender can allow the other to jump out to a big post-convention lead.
At 44, she is younger than two of McCain's seven children.
She is three years Obama's junior, as well — and McCain has made much in recent weeks of Obama's relative lack of experience in foreign policy and defense matters.
In its formal announcement, the campaign pointed to her powers as head of the Alaska National Guard and the mother of a soldier herself as evidence that she "understands what it takes to lead our nation…"
McCain has had months to consider his choice, and has made it clear to reporters that one of his overriding goals was to avoid a situation like 1988, when little known Sen. Dan Quayle was thrown into a national campaign with little preparation.
A self-styled hockey mom and political reformer, Palin was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, population 6,500, until she became governor.
Palin flew overnight to an airport in Ohio near Dayton, and even as she awaited her formal introduction, some aides said they had believed she was at home in Alaska.
She became governor of her state in December, 2006 after ousting a governor of her own party in a primary and then dispatching a former governor in the general election.
More recently, she has come under the scrutiny of an investigation by the Republican-controlled legislature into the possibility that she ordered the dismissal of Alaska's public safety commissioner because he would not fire her former brother-in-law as a state trooper.
Palin has a long history of run-ins with the Alaska GOP hierarchy, giving her genuine maverick status and reformer credentials that could complement McCain's image.
Two years ago, she ousted the state's Republican incumbent governor, Frank Murkowski in the primary, despite having little money and little establishment backing.
She has also distanced herself from two senior Republican office-holders, Sen. Ted Stevens and Rep. Don young. Both men are under federal corruption investigations.
She had earned stripes — and enmity — after Murkowski made her head of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. From that post, she exposed ethical violations by the state GOP chairman, also a fellow commissioner.
Her husband, Todd Palin, is part Yup'ik Eskimo, and is a blue-collar North Slope oil worker who competes in the Iron Dog, a 1,900-mile snowmobile race. The couple lives in Wasilla. They have five children, the youngest of whom was born in April with Down syndrome.
Associated Press Writer Liz Sidoti reported for this story from Denver.

scrugun, I totally agree with your assessment and I don't mean this toward any of the working mothers at all.
She is not just any working mother – she has accepted the job of running for the vice presidency of the U.S. That's a totally different situation. She has to be out on the campaign trail for hours at a time day after day.
Downs babies require hours and hours of special care, therapy, special techniques that take hours out of each day in order for them to grow to their fullest potential. Seems to me she's got her priorities confused.
Maybe hubby is going to be mr. mom and take care of this little guy. Let's hope one of them sees this responsibility since they chose to carry forth this pregnancy knowing the situation!
This is such a sad mess all caused by McCain! Idiot!
We can all hope he doesn't win and then she can go back to being just a gov. of her small group of citizens.
I can just see it now
Mcain as President
Peggy Hill as VP
Hank Hill as Secretary of energy
Bill" Dauterive is secretary of defense
Dale Gribble is department of Homeland security
Nancy Gribble is press secretary
Cotton Hill is over the VFW,but then Cotton looks a lot like McCain
Luanne Platter will be over Education
Kahn Souphanousinphone will be ambassitor to the UN
John Redcorn will be over the Indian affairs
Boomhauer will be the secretary of state
And this country will go down the drain more but we will be running on Hank Hills Propane.
Seriously I don't understand his choice at all. Only thing I can think of he is going after the Hillary supporters.
At best, it was a serious effort to reconcile some of the weaknesses in the McCain portfolio. At worst, it was a transparent political calculation designed to pander to those groups within the Republican Party that most desire being pandered to.
Bottom line, it does nothing to encourage us about the viability of a McCain presidency.
This is truly frightening. Some Presidents never finish their terms. Many Vice Presidents who inherit the office of President have proven dismal and sadly disappointing. At age 72, in an incredible lapse of judgment, McCain has chosen a Vice President from a relatively minor office, and with zero qualifications. After only 2 years in office, she is already plagued by a corruption scandal so typical of Alaskan leadership.
Obama chose Senator Biden, and McCain choses her. It's totally bizarre. At least, if whe were to inherit the Oval Office, she could easily surpass Bush as the worst President ever.
The question becomes; how low can McCain and the GOP go?
Can you picture this woman as President of the United States of America?
The post says that she moved quickly to rectify the support issue between McCain and Obama from women. You say that as if she has the ability to do it. Just saying something doesn't make it so, even though Republicans always try to alter reality with repetitive talk. She may attract conservative women interested in the strong right to life stance she lives, but that person was not going to vote for Obama, in any case. Also, she may actually motivate many of the less than enthusiastic Hillary women to become avid Obama supporters in the face of this alternative in November. Now, how would you like McCain/Palin choosing who the next Supreme Court justice is going to be?
Whoa! That came out of nowhere. It looks like we have ourselves a full-fledged soap opera now. I'm sure the media is loving this. I'm almost tempted to turn the TV back on…NOT!
I think I smell something burning. O yes. That would be Obama's toga lololol
The angry PUMAs and the folks who hate the DNC will jump on board.
At least she has balanced a budget. She DOES have executive experience. OK this is the part where the Obama supporters say something about choice.
Everyone, Relax.
There's muffins too.
After reform school.
I saw someone who was supposed to represent the manic PUMAS tonight on Hardball. I may never sleep again. I think her name was Darragh or something. She was rabid of the highest order. Something stinks here. Something rotten. I smell a rat. A republic-rat.
I mean-what is the idea here? I only switched the channel and I didn't know who she was but she was baring her teeth and growling and her eyes were that which has been dead for a very long time.
Something's wrong with this picture and I smell Rove at the end of this stuff. There's nothing rational or reasonable about these people.
Here Clinton has made a point of asking them to veer off McCain and then McCain makes this "strange" choice Palin (who once insulted Clinton as a whiner)and then the PUMAS start gnashing their teeth like there is some raw meat at the end of their tether and they'll chew through it to get to it. They put me in mind of Cerberus-the three headed dog-guardian of the gates of Hell.
Something seriously is strange here-like they were just waiting for their "cue" to leap to the defense of Palin-I didn't even know what she was talking about. It was the last couple minutes of the show-I just heard her tone-aggressively, psychotic-snapping at Chris Matthews about Palin and I mean-she just went to town.I found out the last seconds-she was a PUMA and only got her first name.
I think we have something going here like a scene out of "Night of the Living Dead."-only these so-called PUMAS are completely bizarre. Someone wound them up and set them out on the field and told them-just keep going and don't stop at any cost. Don't listen to anyone (not even Clinton) and don't let anyone, under any circumstances, make any sense around you. And by all means don't think for yourselves.
"Night of the Living Dead" was a movie. This isn't.
Oh! the horror! The horror!
"You get more with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word" – Al Capone
What a stupid choice! Of all the qualified Republicans McSame could have picked, he goes to the bottom of the stack. I can hardly wait for the VP debates; Joe Biden will clean her clock like it has never been cleaned before! I am sure even some Republicans are cringing at this choice. I an going out on a limb and predicting the Obama will win handily, if not by a land slide in November!
"In its formal announcement, the campaign pointed to her powers as head of the Alaska National Guard and the mother of a soldier herself as evidence that she "understands what it takes to lead our nation…"
And THAT makes her qualified??? Give us all a break!!
And Bush's remark – "an exciting decision"!! Go figure!!
This fiasco gives me nightmares! This just proves how Old McPow has lost it altogether or it's a really gutsy choice on his part. Can't you just hear the roar if Obama had made this kind of choice? The republicans would be screaming all kinds of snide remarks!
She's pretty and evidently very spunky but knows absolutely nothing about foreign policy and says she knows little about the war in Iraq. With a son headed there you would think she might try to inform herself a bit on that subject, or at least, not admit you are so ill uninformed.
Sure she's accomplished some things in small town politics, but Washington is a universe away from that play ground. She's going to have to study up quick in order to be able to face Biden in the debate. He will make her look like the unqualified candidate she is.
It's amusing to listen to the right wing talking heads trying to defend her. You wonder how they REALLY feel about having to do so.
Being so unqualified, WHY she would jump at the chance to get into a job of that proportion and not be able to admit she needs a few more years of experience in local politics before even considering getting into national politics? My guess is greedy power hungry politician.
I am a mother and I criticize her for putting her ambitions ahead of that new baby. He is a downs baby and will need special care depending on the severity of his needs. She chose to have that child, now be a mother! Who is caring for him while she plays politician? I'll probably be criticized for taking that stand, and it's none of my business I know, but motherhood is too important to hand off to someone else, especially in the case of this little boy. Both our nation and this child deserve a much more thoughtful decision.

This is the kind of response that they want.
I think they are counting on this to be able to say that this is a cutdown to all the working mothers out here, in other words pandering to all the working mothers in this country.

Been having troube trying to open 3DS MAX 2014 Student Version on my Windows 8.1 laptop. I've looked at other threads from people who have had the same problem, but still not luck. I've tried re-installing and tried the method involving the moving of or renaming of the files in the FLEXnet folder in Program date. Any other possible solutions to this problem?
Welcome to the community. Error 20 has often plagued this software suite. However, the fact that Windows 8.1 has not technically been deemed supported yet is another issue. It may be some time before all the bugs are worked out. I suspect that it will be supported with an update. Also the 2015 software should also be supported.

Pray for the residents of Gorsi Tourou, a village in northern Cameroon that was ravaged in an attack by suspected Boko Haram militants on 6 June. They ran for their lives as more than 300 heavily armed men torched churches and houses and looted property. Cameroonian soldiers arrived around two hours later and were able to drive back the militants. Boko Haram has been wreaking havoc in neighbouring Nigeria, targeting Christian communities in particular in its bloody battle to establish an Islamic state in the North. Pray that the group's evil activities will be restrained and that they will not be able to gain a foothold in Cameroon.

Heavenly Father, we pray for Kim Jung-Wook, a South Korean Christian who has been sentenced to hard labour for life in North Korea for "spying" and attempting to establish house churches in the country. We thank You that although prosecutors demanded the death penalty, this was commuted, but we pray that Jung-Wook will be sustained by You in his imprisonment and cruel treatment and will soon be released. We pray too for the dozens of North Koreans who were detained after Jung-Wook's arrest in October on suspicion of helping him, and for the families of any who have already been executed. We pray for political change and religious freedom in North Korea, that it may be made legal to be a Christian and to take part in Christian activity.

Two Christian families in Uzbekistan who meet in a private home to read the Bible and pray together have been repeatedly fined and had property confiscated. Alisher Abdullayev and Veniamin Nemirov were originally fined in 2012 for unregistered religious activity and teaching religion "illegally". They refused on principle to pay, claiming that they had not violated any laws. But earlier this year bailiffs went to their homes and confiscated a car, a mobile phone and household items. The men and their wives were then fined again, ten times the minimum monthly wage. Officers have also raided one of their meetings, filming and harassing those present and seizing religious literature. Pray that the authorities will stop targeting the families and that they will be left alone to study and pray in peace.

Leaders imprisoned for up to 60 days and members for up to 45 days; fines, corrective labour or community service: these are the penalties for taking part in religious gatherings in Kazakhstan held without state permission, according to a new criminal code. Those who finance unregistered religious activity will be liable to the same punishments as leaders. In addition, a new Code of Administrative Offences lays down a wide range of penalties for exercising the right to religious freedom. Both codes have been condemned by 119 Kazakh and international human rights groups and individuals. They further tighten controls on religious practice in a context where it is already much restricted. Pray for wisdom and courage for Christians in Kazakhstan as they seek to maintain their worship and witness.

Give thanks that 55 Christians, almost all church leaders and converts from Islam, received Bible training at a three-day seminar in Kyrgyzstan that was supported by Barnabas Aid. The participants have virtually no access to Biblical training, and so the studies were a great boost to their faith and ministry. Meeting fellow church leaders, who are all dealing with similar issues, such as isolation and persecution from Muslim relatives and local Muslim communities, was also very encouraging to them and gave them the opportunity to build up a Christian support network. Pray that the Lord will continue to speak to them through the Bible passages they studied at the seminar, and that He will bless their ministries.

"This area deserves so much more than a strip center. This area, what we have here in housing. I mean we have great people in this area," said Sarah Zdeb who is against the re-zoning petition.
"You better be voting no like we're already telling you so you better listen to what all these people are saying if you want to get elected again," said Untz.
City Council will vote next month on the petition. City Councilman Gregory Phipps said he was unaware of the protest but said the public can voice their opinion at the City Council meeting on July 21st at 6 pm.

Aston Villa outcast Alan Hutton in blast at Paul Lambert
Alan Hutton today spoke up for the Villa outcasts and hit out at manager Paul Lambert's methods of dealing with unwanted players.
Hutton is in line to play for Scotland against Belgium tonight but is without a future in club football.
He's not wanted by Lambert for first-team duty but Villa blocked another loan deal abroad this week, leaving Hutton pinning his hopes on a Championship switch next week.
Hutton revealed a group of outcasts were forced to train together. He was delighted at Scotland team-mate Barry Bannan's move to Crystal Palace on deadline day.
He said: "There were lots of us; Darren Bent, Stephen Ireland – I am talking international players – and Charles N'Zogbia, who have just been put to the side. For me it is not what should be done. We are not kids.
"I was buzzing for Barry that he got out because he is a great player and doesn't deserve to be treated like that. Unfortunately for myself it didn't come off and I am angry about it."
Hutton enjoyed a successful loan spell with Real Mallorca last term and expected to be allowed to return to La Liga on Monday after three offers from Spain.
But Villa refused to sanction another loan move.

If Romney doesn't win I doubt I will ever vote Republican again. Scenarios: 1. The Republican Party started as a 3rd Party. There is no reason the TEA Party and others could not transform into a viable 3rd Party and turn the Republicans into the next Whig Party. 2. Israel could attack Iran before the election and Obama could broker a 7 year peace treaty between Israel and the other warring parties. Obama becomes everyone's hero and wins in a landslide election. The biggest problem with this scenario is that the first no-doubt-about-it,-not-subject-to-interpretation thing that the Antichrist does is impose a 7 year covenant with Israel. But don't worry, Jesus wins in the end!

Cataclysm killed my guild's 25 man raid that had been together from late Vanilla. We were semi-casual, with two 3 hour raids per week, with somewhat unpredictable attendance. In other words, probably a pretty typical 25, excluding the 10% of hardcore raiders. We had managed to clear every previous tier of content. Not nearly as fast as some guilds, but we always progressed steadily and eventually got there.
Cata was just too hard, and precisely for the unforgiving mechanics described above. In my experience, you have to assume that 1-2 players in a 25 will have something go wrong in each attempt -- DC, angry spouse, frozen screen, what have you. Another 1-2 will have a brain fart and stand where they shouldn't. We've all done it, lots. So I agree that there has to be some room for error built into each encounter.
Over and over, we had people stop raiding because they were finding it stressful. Players felt that if they screwed up once, or DCed, or whatever, the attempt would fail because of them. So when we began to get stonewalled, the pressure mounted, and players simply stopped showing up.
I agree that part of the fun of raiding is the challenge, but it has to be a manageable challenge. Insta-gib mechanics, where one error or untimely technical problem will doom the attempt, aren't fun. They just make the game stressful. And I get enough stress at work.

Paul is now part of the fourth generation in America that is involved in farming and hopes the next generation will be involved also. Through his blog he provides analysis and insight to farmer tax questions.
The IRS announced today in Issue Number IR-2013-7 today that due to the extended processing time for many tax forms including form 4562 (Depreciation), that the deadline for any farmer and fisherman has been extended April 15, 2013 from March 1, 2013.
To take advantage of the extended due date, the farmer will file out form 2210-F (which they normally already due when filing on March 1) and check the waiver box and attach it to the tax return. Nothing else will be required.
It would have been nice to make this announcement before the farmer estimated tax payment was due three days ago, but it is better to make the announcement now than to wait until near the March 1 deadline.
Much kudos to the National Farm Bureau for all of their support and Senator Grassley writing his letter. Without their help, this most likely would have taken longer.

Hi there!
Welcome and congratulations!
That must be so hard being so far away from your BF. It sounds like the change of scenery will be good for you, since you are having to keep it a secret where you are living. I hope that those 5 weeks just fly by for both of you!

infuriating conversations with my mother:
Me: Here's my gift for the grab bag.
Mom: Okay, put it under the tree.
Me: *leaves to go into living room*
Mom: WAIT, is it for a guy or a girl?
Me: … I don't see how that matters.
Mom: Oh, so it's for anyone.
Me: All the gifts are for anyone.
Mom: But girls are supposed to buy for girls and guys are supposed to buy for guys.
Me: That's all arbitrary.
Mom: No, it's not, my gift is really girly.
Me: That doesn't mean none of the men will want it.
Mom: *laughing* No, I definitely think it's a girl's gift.
Me: I don't think you can assume that.
Mom: Well, just put yours under the tree and we'll sort them out when we do it.

Eidos Napoli black watch formal wear. (cc: @eidosnapoli)
The very talented Mr. Justin Chung took some engagement photos of me and Torie. Here's a preview.
New drop of summer blazers. Get some color for the warmer weather.
"I got my first watch a few weeks ago. It's a Casio retrofitted with a three-color band: red, white, and black. People often mistake the black for blue and assume I'm repping the French tricolor on my wrist. Once they realize the actual color scheme, they think it's either Thom Browne or, very occasionally, the striped flag of Yemen. I go with Yemen because its flag is one of the few that references the concept of time: The red stands for the bloodshed of martyrs, the white for a bright future, and the black for the dark past. Past and future in a flag — perfect for a watchband, no?"
Side Note: The new Vampire Weekend album is great. Weird, confident, and great.

Pope Candidate Axed Over Trashy Facebook Photos
VATICAN CITY (The Borowitz Report)—The brave new world of social media torpedoed the chances of a leading papal candidate today, as a Dutch cardinal struggled to explain newly surfaced Facebook photos showing him on a 2007 spring-break romp in Tampa. Continue reading: http://nyr.kr/ZDjV5P
A cautionary tale for all you prospective Popes.

When I last wrote about What Happened to Sophie Wilder, I talked about how, despite some superficial trappings, it wasn't a very conventional contemporary novel. That is to say, though it seemed like several things about the book should had gotten on my nerves, they didn't at all.
Sophie herself is another example of this. In a badly written novel, she would be insufferable. She goes to college as a more fully-formed human being than I am in my late twenties, uncannily certain about who she is. And she is absurdly badass (under, of course, a very specific definition of badass). Clearly and coolly the best writer in their seminar, Sophie unofficially adopts the narrator of half of the novel, Charlie, who ends up with quite the reading list as the two discuss their taste in literature. When asked if she likes Nabokov, specifically Lolita, Sophie replies, "Sure…But I like Pale Fire better. And Ada. Some of the early Russian ones, too, like The Defense." Men want her, and women want to be her!* (Again, under very specific definitions of "men" and "women.")
So why is this girl, this child, allowed to be so brilliant without being offensive? Because she really is what she seems to be. She does know herself, is sure of herself—and it is uncanny. It makes her ethereal, not quite of this world. When they meet again later, Charlie recalls "the feeling I used to have watching Sophie from a distance on campus, when it seemed a travesty for her to be out in the world, interacting like a normal human being." She's not just a full-of-herself teenager—she is that too, but she's also a bona fide, pretty low-key genius. (Ah, but why is that the case? That's a whole other post!)
But if you feel jealous at all of Sophie, so grown-up at eighteen, book of short stories published straight out of college, remember that something happened to her. Before most of the events of the novel, she was orphaned, and just barely at the age of consent has a long-term affair with a much-older woman, who owns a bookstore. In Charlie's mind, at least, this explains quite a bit about Sophie. But that's not what I meant about what "happened"; the Sophie that goes off to college and meets Charlie is not the same Sophie who turns up again a decade later. This is the new Sophie, the Catholic Sophie—the Sophie who has "turned."
One of the more interesting things about this Sophie is that, based on the half of the novel not narrated by Charlie but by a third person focused closely on Sophie, she clearly recognizes that she is in a new and different phase of her life now; she feels herself to be a different person. And she articulates, via the "I do not hope to turn again" T.S. Eliot reference, that this is not necessarily the last time she will change in this way. She doesn't want to change again, but she knows she might—again, very wise of her—and this wisdom brings fear.
I would like to write more about Sophie's conversion, though I'm not sure that I will. More likely is that "whole other post" I mentioned above—one that would address a subject very important to the novel that I have hardly mentioned at all, namely, fiction itself. Thanks so much to everyone who commented on the last post insisting it was at least as good as a "real review"; I hope you will continue to enjoy my less structured writing on the novel.
*Full disclosure: I had read all but The Defense when I was her age, too.

By Albina Kovalyova, NBC NewsSOCHI, Russia (NBC) — A video of two men claiming responsibility for the back-to-back deadly suicide bombings in Volgograd in early January emerged Sunday — warning that "a surprise" would be in store for the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi.Two men from the Islamist organization Anars Al Sunna said in the video that if Russian President Vladimir Putin organizes the Olympics, "we will, God willing, organize a kind of present from our side for the Muslim blood that is flowing throughout the Muslim world today."In the hour-long video, the pair appear to construct explosive devices and explain their reasons for attacks. "That which we will do, that which we have done, is only a little example a little step," they said, referring to the Volgograd bombings.While the authenticity of their claim cannot be verified, the pair appears to be preparing for an attack, since they are clean-shaven in a likely attempt to blend in with the Russian population.And while Sochi is littered with metal detectors, bomb sniffing dogs and explosive particle detectors, groups threatening the Olympics say they will not only target the host city, but also target the Russian government in general and other areas of Russia during the Olympics.The men in the video said in a part of the recording directed at Russian officials that they "will continue to kill you and your soldiers.""We'll have a surprise package for you," one of the men said in the militants' video. "And those tourists that will come to you, for them, too, we have a surprise. If it happens [the Olympics], we'll have a surprise for you. This is for all the Muslim blood that is shed every day around the world, be it in Afghanistan, Somalia, Syria, all around the world. This will be our revenge."Putin over the weekend that he "will try to make sure that the security measures taken aren't too intrusive or visible and that they won't put pressure on the athletes, guests and journalists," at the Olympics, which will take place Feb. 7-23. "At the same time, we will do our best to ensure that these measures are efficient," he said.Still, U.S. officials remain skeptical that security measures for the winter games are adequate."We don't seem to be getting all of the information we need to protect our athletes in the games," said Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.The men in the video said, "there is a whole list of those" who are willing to carry out suicide attacks against Putin, the Russian government and "those tourists that have come over there."NBC News' Richard Engel in Moscow, Elisha Fieldstadt in New York, and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Bigom's sentence for the murder is life in prison; the additional four years is the abuse of a corpse.

From Mail Online: Flexible hours push to help the over-50s stay in work: Pensions Minister says older generation are 'vast untapped talent'

older workers, over 50s
Working from home has become a necessity for many retirees. The economic downturn and its impact on savings income have led many to search for more creative ways to make money. For people who hoped that they'd already said 'adios' to corporate life, a work from home position, either as your own boss or working for someone else, is often appealing. But is it truly possible to find a well-paying job this way?
In a word – yes - it is possible to work from home and make money. If you're short of cash and need a retirement job but also want flexibility, there are definitely opportunities available to you, however, there are challenges associated with working from home that you need to think about whilst you're considering how to go about it.
Avoiding Becoming a Mark
For those who don't know, a 'mark' is the target for scammers. These people make money by preying on the desperate. When you need money to feed your family or keep your house, even 'too-good-to-be-true' offers seem reasonable if they seem like they'll ease the financial burden. Unfortunately, they only serve to strip you of what's left of your hard-earned money.
Here are a few things to watch out for when looking for legitimate work-from-home positions.
Avoid requests for money – Any opportunity that asks for you to pay them for the privilege is a waste of time. Once you give them the money, they send you information about possible jobs or simply tell you what you already know. But, there's no job waiting for you.
Avoid getting rich quick – If there was a way to make thousands of pounds or dollars a week stuffing envelopes, everyone would be doing it. Consider the source. If it is just a phone number without any other kind of contact, that's suspicious. Besides, who would pay that type of money for that kind of work? Think realistically before taking the plunge.
Finding Work
Check freelance sites – One way to always make money is to freelance. Website businesses are always looking for writers to provide content for their sites and blogs. If you are a website programmer, designer or an expert in copywriting, you can find opportunities at sites like Elance, Freelancer, Guru, iFreelance, HireWriters and LogoMyWay.
Look in local papers – Companies sometimes hire for customer service jobs that can be done from home. As long as you have a computer and access to the internet, you can have calls routed to you for answering. It may require you to visit the main facility for training but then you can conduct other business from home. In the U.S., medical offices hire freelance medical coders and transcriptionists. If you have the expertise, you can hire yourself out to a number of offices.
Use your creativity – Some work from home positions can stem from your talents and interests. If you can sew, set up shop as a seamstress. If you have a passion for gardening, you could provide your services to people who like to have a nice garden but don't have the time to keep it looking good. People have been setting up stores on eBay for years now. If you're into 'making things', sell your creations via an online store or auction.
It is possible to find ways to work from home and make money. Watch out for scams but be diligent in pursuing opportunities and gaining the knowledge to expand and take advantage of other lucrative propositions. You could discover you have entrepreneurial tendencies that you never dreamed existed!

The notion of buying less and being happier runs contrary to the more popular concept of 'more (and bigger) is better'. As more and more people become disillusioned with all their 'stuff', the idea that buying less can actually make you happier is beginning to take hold. (And, let's face it, with what's happened to pensions and interest rates over the last few years, some retirees just don't have a choice!) Here are some suggestions on how you can buy less and be happier:
1. Distinguish between needs and wants. Before making a purchase, ask yourself why you're buying it. How will your life be better with that particular item in your home? Can you afford it? Does it have a practical use?
2. Spend time, not money, with your family and friends. This is the key to being happier with buying less - you will cultivate more meaningful relationships instead of spending money on stuff. Think in terms of relationships, not things. This may require a shift in priorities and, for some, may mean learning to put people ahead of material items. If you accomplish this, life will be much more fulfilling.
3. Learn (or relearn) to refurbish and fix used items, and learn to create and build. Often, these times of creativity can also be times when you come together with friends and family to get a job done. In other words, DIY can help you be happier!
4. Pay cash or write a cheque whenever you buy something. This is a safeguard against debt, which is, of course, one of the biggest robbers of happiness there is. You'll be much happier buying less if you can also look at it as way of incurring less debt.
5. Change your perspective about the role of stuff in your life. Think about the big picture before making purchases - will owning this item make me a better person? If I buy this electronic gizmo, will the world (or even just MY world!) be the better for it?
6. Take time to find out what true happiness means to you. When you're not trying to fill some imagined void with material things, it gives you some breathing room to figure out just what makes you tick. Accumulating stuff is probably not what really makes you happy. Dig deep and learn something about yourself. Keep a journal, meditate, spend time alone...
When you begin to cultivate relationships instead of buying more and more stuff, you might just find that you become much happier.
If you're due to retire in the near future, my free eCourse, The 6 Stages of Retirement, will give you a birds-eye view of the retirement process so you know what to expect. It includes a list of the major pitfalls at every stage of the process and self-coaching questions to help you avoid those pitfalls...

Nature's caprice strikes twice, rocking an Appalachian coal mining town. In Farmington, West Virginia, a methane explosion blows the top off of a mountain, killing 78 miners. Subsequently,... More > Congress creates the Miners Enforcement Safety Agency (MESA) to establish a standard of safety in the country's mines. Immediately, a nationwide call goes out for veteran miners to police the mines. In the fiercely-independent Appalachian coalfields in the poorest locale in America--the same fields that drove out the United Mine Workers Local--recruiting inspectors is next to impossible, finding ones who will stand up to the mines' lawbreakers is impossible. The impossible appears when AB Stahill, an ex-miner searching for the redemption and determined to find retribution for the death of his father and the derangement of his boyhood friend, uses MESA to give him the means to pursue his end.< Less

I'm not putting any house plants outside too much dust and bugs around here. Hoping to get the porch glassed in some day right now it has corrugated fiberglass blocking the sun. This place doesn't have very many places to put plants. Then in front of the windows they put heat/cool vents. Then when I get the South side all open to the sun my view will be that ugly trailer grandpa put there in the 70s.
Looks like you are getting settled again Vicky, you might have to shift them around until find the best spot. Have you got a veranda, I think your schlumbergera would do better with more light and fresh air. They like it warm , bring back inside for winter.
Love your air plants Grant, they are so fun to grow. Your ornamental cactus look good too. I brought a brazillian edelweisse or sinningia leucotricha. A very fun plant if I can keep it alive.
The bees were working the cucumber vines today and as always the garlic chive flowers they love them.
The best looking one is still the one living at Marsha's place. It is way too big to bring here til I get the sun porch fixed up. Or the kitchen fixed so I can get all the food prep stuff out of the dinning room. Even then the stupid heat/cool vents are right in front of the windows so need vent deflectors.
Congrats on the bees, Vicky! That's neat. Hopefully your houseplants will all settle in and look great soon. We'd love pics when possible. Happy gardening all!

Ever since this May's Paul Simon cover songs roundup, a follow-up starring Bruce Springsteen — a figure similarly oft-cited as inspiration to our favorite indie acts — has been in the works. The hard part, though, has been that there are dozens of versions of the Boss floating around, some brilliant and others falling a bit short despite showing plenty of reverence for their hero. Given Frightened Rabbit's recent tribute to the blue-collar icon and Kurt Vile's forthcoming studio take on "Downbound Train," now feels like a good time to compile the best or most noteworthy of the lot. Below, check out 10 standouts, beginning with personal favorites (Camera Obscura's "Tougher Than the Rest," the Hold Steady's "Atlantic City," etc.) and winding down with a few more unusual takes from Arcade Fire with Bruce himself, Tortoise featuring Will Oldham, and the Avett Brothers' loose, hoedown version of "Glory Days."

WICHITA – The 81st-annual Kansas Junior Livestock Show (KJLS) promises to be a big event this year, with 795 youth from 92 counties entering 1,817 animals. This is the largest number of livestock entered in 25 years. The total includes 148 market steers, 354 breeding heifers, 325 market hogs, 103 breeding gilts, 301 market lambs, 246 breeding ewes, 249 meat goats and 91 commercial doe kids. The statewide event will be held September 20-23 at the Kansas Pavilions in Wichita.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) and Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) today called on U.S. Secretary of the Department of Agriculture (USDA) Tom Vilsack to extend emergency grazing of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) lands to help livestock producers hit hard by lingering and intensifying drought.
Rainfall during the end of July and the first week of August has provided hope for farmers and cattlemen across Kansas – even in the farm western corners of the state.
MANHATTAN – Kansas State University's next Landon Lecture will include six of the nation's chief leaders in the agriculture industry.
Earlier this summer, I was called out several times to identify a small foxtail-like plant. I found that most cases that I saw turned out to be little barley and the best thing to do at that time was wait until closer to fall when the plant is more vulnerable and can be controlled easier. Now is the time to start planning a healthier lawn for spring and controlling winter annual plants such as little barley is important. I found this short article from K-State Research and Extension's Horticulture specialist Ward Upham to share with you this week about ...
Kansas ranch managers and livestock producers are invited to the Short Grass Prairie Grazing Basics and Research Tour, Sept. 17, at the K-State Western Kansas Agricultural Research Center, 1232 240th Ave., Hays.
Ever hear of digging prickly pear cactus out of a pasture for 50 cents an acre?
To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, "If we do not all hang together, we will surely all hang separately." So how does that relate to agriculture? The answer lies in the 20th Annual Kids Ag Day held this past Wednesday at the Mauler farm just north of Great Bend.
An outpouring of research funds is helping a group of Kansas State University researchers study how human activity and climate change affect Central Great Plains water systems.
Is there a shift in human focus and concentration, or is it just me?
How can farmers prepare for extreme weather ahead? Extreme weather forced the Federal Crop Insurance Program (FCIP) to pay out a record-breaking $17.3 billion in crop losses last year, as detailed in a new crop insurance report and crop loss mapping tool to be released at Noon EDT/11 a.m. CDT on Tuesday, August 27, by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). 2012's record-breaking crop insurance payouts smashed the trend of annual Federal Crop Insurance payouts from 2001-2010, when crop losses averaged just $4.1 billion a year.
If current irrigation trends continue, 69 percent of the groundwater stored in the High Plains Aquifer of Kansas will be depleted in 50 years. But immediately reducing water use could extend the aquifer's lifetime and increase net agricultural production through the year 2110.
Kansas is in the heartland of Agriculture in the United States. Unfortunately, students in our communities have only a little more knowledge of agriculture, and its direct and indirect roles in our lives, than students living in urban areas. Twenty years ago, the Chamber of Commerce's Agriculture committee sought to change that. Kid's Ag Day was born, and is fondly remembered by many even years later.
Touch corn, experience a virtual combine ride or sit tall in the saddle. All of these fun activities and many more will take place in Agriland at the 2013 Kansas State Fair. The cooperative agricultural education exhibit is located in the Pride of Kansas building.
Before today's topic two brief mentions are in order. First, the hot dry weather of the last week hasn't dramatically changed the drought ratings from the week before. If this pattern persists for the next week or so, much of the county will slip back into the abnormally dry or moderate drought range. However, the abundant rains received earlier have made a large difference. Second, K-State entomology is studying sorghum head worm (a moth) in the area north of Great Bend. As of this week the traps indicated that numbers of head moth had risen to levels that ...
Youth from across the state have entered 1,733 head of animals for the 82nd annual Kansas Junior Livestock Show (KJLS). A total of 760 4-H and FFA members from 90 counties will show 126 market steers, 308 breeding heifers, 332 market hogs, 131 breeding gilts, 275 market lambs, 220 breeding ewes, 236 meat goats and 105 commercial doe kids. The competition will take place September 19-22 at the Kansas Pavilions in Wichita
This week will be an important event in Pawnee County. The Alfalfa field Day. As Alfalfa is an important crop produced in Barton County, and insurance coverage is lacking, I would like to share a piece by Jenni Carr, Harper County Agriculture and Natural Resource agent that will give you more information regarding the event. The field day and listening session will be held on Sept. 17th. All Barton County producers may find the field day and listening session beneficial to their production.
Talk to farmers, stockmen and ranchers – most will tell you how much they love their cows. Problem is this humble and in most cases easy-going beast rarely receives the praise associated with the noble show horse or one of the so-called smartest creatures, the squealing pig.
The past week saw parts of the area receive several significant rains. Rains after this last Tuesday don't appear in the calculations of the weekly Drought Monitor Update. The last update indicates that except for sliver of southern Barton County, from Barton County north the area is rated as Abnormally Dry. Directly south conditions are considered in Moderate Drought. This is a big positive step compared too several weeks ago. As always this is a general rating and individual areas may be wetter or drier. And the recent rains not included in this report have left areas north of ...
September is already here, and the first day of autumn is almost upon us. There are still many chores that can be done to help your landscape prepare for the winter to come. I found a few pieces of advice from K-State Research and Extension's horticulture expert on what you can be doing right now to help your cool season grasses stay healthy now, and give them a boost for next spring.
If the EPA's proposed rule to redefine waters of the United States becomes law, farming and ranching as we know it today may end.
The State Fair is in high gear and today is Sept. 7. A strong cold front moved through this past Friday and parts of the area have received fairly significant amounts of precipitation over the last week. Much of the immediate area was listed under the Moderate Drought category last Thursday but parts of eastern Barton, Rice, and Ellsworth Counties are a bit better and rated as Moderately Dry. Some producers question this since they are dealing with fields too wet for equipment while other missed out on the rains. It's almost time to plant the 2015 winter wheat ...

this is for me
this is for me
I don't binge, it's not my thing. I don't think I've ever tried it, but today I hit my neighbor's parked car, dented it more than it was before, and I feel like shit. So I ate. I ate and ate and ate.
And now I feel sick and my thoughts are swimming and my stomach is bulging.
I never want to feel like this again.
