British border officials have detained three people who tried to enter the country illegally by hiding in a truck full of coffins.
The Border Force says a sniffer dog found the three Eritrean nationals among dozens of boxed coffins in the vehicle, which was from Bulgaria. The would-be migrants were not inside the coffins.
Officials say that the three were found at the port of Dunkerque in northern France, where the truck was waiting to board a ferry to Britain. They have been handed over to French border police.
The coffins were bound for a funeral director in west London.
Border officials said on Wednesday the discovery was unusual, but they added that in the past the force had found people hiding in strange places, such as in shipments of dog biscuits and bathtubs.

WASHINGTON, DC -- (Marketwired) -- 07/14/14 -- The Online News Association, the world's largest organization of digital journalists, today submitted its comment to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), urging the agency to abandon its tiered Internet proposal to protect the voice and reach of an inclusive, diverse media.
The full statement follows:
As it considers rules governing the relationships between content creators and service providers, the FCC asks, "What is the right public policy to ensure that the Internet remains open?"
As the leading organization representing thousands of digital journalists worldwide, we'd like to respond to that question: The right public policy is one that ensures the Internet serves as an unrestricted platform for a rich, diverse and inclusive news media ecosystem.
When the Online News Association first formed in 1999, an estimated 100 million internet users in the United States alone, most on dial-up modems, surfed a web of fewer than 5 million websites. Since then, the explosive expansion of media has been powered by an Internet open to all. Where once there was a single news provider for many cities, today we see 250 million Americans, more than a third of whom are on high-speed broadband, visiting the 861 million-plus websites for news, information and entertainment. Simply put, the media environment we have today, unrivaled in human history, would not have been possible without the past 20 years of an Internet open by design.
That's what makes this issue so compelling. What is at stake in the new rulemaking is the American public's ability to be informed, to communicate and to easily share and spread ideas.
The New York Times has a print subscription of 1.25 million readers. And yet, more than 50 million people read The Times online every month. The Huffington Post, less than 10 years old, attracts nearly 100 million readers a month. Even Vox Media, which is younger than many people's computers, already attracts 20 times the readers to its site as the Times does in print. News and information is reaching more people than ever before. And readers have more options, more voices, more perspectives, than at any other time in history. We view all of this as an immeasurable boon.
"Freedom of the Press is for those who own one," or "Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel" no longer apply. The open Internet has allowed journalism to flourish or founder based on the quality of the work, not on the quantity of capital.
But this is all at stake if the Internet is segregated into tiers, or "lanes." By giving priority to some content, making it faster and easier to consume, ISPs could, intentionally or not, give some information or journalistic outlets a market advantage, solely because they can afford higher tolls.
Such behavior would have a pernicious effect. Over time, preferential treatment through "prioritized" or "fast lanes" could strike a blow to media diversity, innovation and the free flow of information. Creating or even maintaining alternative or independent perspectives could become financially untenable. Worse, since many ISPs are also content companies, they'd have an incentive to be anticompetitive and prioritize their content over that of competitors.
The result wouldn't just be one less startup, or a video that takes a few seconds longer to buffer. Instead, we could lose a rich media ecosystem -- the cornerstone of a well-informed citizenry and a healthy democracy. Hundreds of nonprofit news sites, many created after the recession of 2008, countless startups and independent journalism outlets that serve as watchdogs for our local institutions, the platforms that enable information sharing -- these add up to something greater than the sum of their parts.
ONA strongly supports a robust Internet infrastructure, but this is not a competing consideration to an open Internet. We believe policymakers can create a plan that continues to build out our Internet capabilities while adhering to the core principles of an open Internet that have served us so well for so long. Just as important as a stable, fast and widespread Internet is one that preserves the integrity of a free press, and supports an informed and engaged public.
We submit to the FCC that protecting the voice and reach of an inclusive, diverse media -- including traditional, nonprofit, start-up, digital-only, independent, citizen, student and educator news organizations -- demands the abandonment of the tiered Internet proposal. We urge the FCC to seek out other ways to preserve and balance the open Internet with the need to build out our telecommunications infrastructure without compromising the principles of free distribution. We don't have to sacrifice one to serve the other.
The Online News Association is the world's largest association of digital journalists. ONA's mission is to inspire innovation and excellence among journalists to better serve the public. The membership includes news writers, producers, designers, editors, bloggers, developers, photographers, educators, students and others who produce news for and support digital delivery systems. ONA also hosts the annual Online News Association conference and administers the Online Journalism Awards.

SportsGrid's NSFW Podcast: Do Athletes Need To Run Game In Order To Get Women?
It's about that time again. After taking a one-week hiatus due to my freakish eye infection, I've bravely come back from injury like a more important version of Willis Reed to anchor our second installment of the SportsGrid NSFW podcast. This was a fun one: in addition to talking about hot soccer player of note Alex Morgan's goosebump-inducing goal (which occurred right before we went into the studio), we also discussed NBC's controversial Olympics coverage, whether or not we give a crap about women's gymnastics, and athletes and game. More specifically: do athletes need any semblance of it to do well with the opposite sex?

Here's Podcast #2.

Tour de France: Crash could prompt legal action
Monday 11 July 2011
Team Sky principal Dave Brailsford refused to rule out the possibility of taking legal action as Tour de France organisers and French police today continued investigations into the incident which saw Juan Antonio Flecha hit by a car.
Flecha was in the five-man breakaway 35 kilometres from the end of yesterday's 208km ninth stage from Issoire to Saint-Flour when he was struck by a French television vehicle, slamming to the tarmac and knocking fellow escapee Johnny Hoogerland (Vacansoleil) off the road and into a barbed wire fence.
Tour organisers Amaury Sports Organisation excluded the car for the remainder of the race and have opened an investigation, while police are making enquiries and gathering statements.
Team Sky are co-operating fully with the investigation into the incident which could see further ramifications.
Speaking at the Team Sky hotel in the Massif Central on today's rest day, Brailsford said: "It was plain for everyone to see - that crash shouldn't have happened.
"Everybody saw it, everyone saw the severity of it so I don't think we need to fan the flames of that anymore.
"Once you've got the facts then you can decide and evaluate whether there's an opportunity for the police to do something.
"There are different options available.
"We need to have a clear picture of what those options are before we then decide which one we may or may not wish to pursue.
"We're jumping ahead of ourselves if we start talking about options - we've got to determine what they are first."
Asked specifically about the possibility of legal proceedings, Brailsford added: "All the options includes anything you can think of.
"All the options is all the options."
The collision yesterday was the second incident involving a vehicle travelling with the race, after last Wednesday Danish rider Nicki Sorensen (Saxo Bank-SunGard) crashed after brushing a photographer's motorbike.
Brailsford said the investigation was important to ensure such an accident is not repeated and insisted Team Sky's discussions with ASO, race director Christian Prudhomme, the French television station and law enforcement agencies will remain private.
He added: "There's a lot going on, but for us it's behind closed doors. "That's what we'll do quietly. It's not something we'll do in the public domain."
Flecha's first reaction after tumbling to the tarmac was to get back on his bike.
He said: "It was instinct. The first thing as a cyclist you do is look for your bike and to go again.
"The fork was broken, I was bleeding everywhere, I saw Johnny lying there.
"It took a while to realise. I took my spare bike and then I started feeling myself, my elbow was getting swollen and my knee was bleeding."
Despite today being a rest day, all the cyclists go out for a ride to keep their bodies ticking over.
Flecha, though, was unable to join his seven Team Sky colleagues - leader Bradley Wiggins having already returned home with a fractured collarbone - after travelling to hospital for X-rays.
The Spaniard feared he had suffered a fractured elbow, but scans were clear and he plans to start tomorrow's 158km 10th stage from Aurillac to Carmaux.
Flecha said: "Tomorrow I'll be able to ride, how well I don't know but I really don't care.
"At first I want to see how everything goes. I'm thinking more long term.
"I'm more concerned about the Pyrenees. I can't bypass the Pyrenees."
Flecha received a phone call from Prudhomme this morning while he was at the hospital and has had one stitch on a cut sustained on his knee.
The wound required further treatment, but further dressing would restrict Flecha's ability to peddle.
He added: "I can't say it's good. I can just say it's looking okay.
"There are many different types of crashes but that was something you don't expect - it shouldn't happen.
"I was having lots of fun in this Tour and enjoying it a lot. I was doing well so far.
"I hope I can keep enjoying the race the way I have been doing so far."

Obsessive London electronic producer Josh Quirke recalls both the eerily calm and hugely frenetic moods of Aphex Twin while creating a bespoke sound that treats the complex latticework of human emotion like a game of chess.
By Ryan Dombal , June 12, 2014
Growing up in a small village in Buckinghamshire, about 50 miles north of London, Josh Quirke spent countless hours alone in his family's music room. A drum kit, saxophone, and guitar were stuffed into the small space, but the centerpiece was a digital Clavinova piano. He'd sometimes just listen to the instrument's chintzy, pre-programmed demos for an entire night, fascinated with the sounds flowing into his ears. He wasn't interested in playing other peoples' songs, or recording himself, or jamming with friends. Instead, Quirke endlessly toiled at the piano, searching for notes and chords and transitions that made him feel something.
"At that age, you just act on your impulses and don't question why you're doing something," he remembers over Skype, his head framed by a lime-green wall in his London apartment. "If you enjoy it, you just get on with it, don't you? It's very much a primitive thing: These actions corresponding to sound waves, going back into your body, which then create a full circle."
Though he's now moved away from the Clavinova and onto the endless music-making permutations of his computer, he's still trying to maintain that instinctual spirit with his work as Quirke. His recent debut EP, Acid Beth, is only about 15 minutes long, but in that short timespan it creates an entire universe unto itself—a place where breathy vocal samples, contemplative synths, stuttering breakbeats, warped bloops, and static glitches ping into each other like chaotic atoms. Quirke's sounds recall classic Warp artists including Aphex Twin, along with more contemporary electronic acts like his Young Turks labelmate Koreless, and Yeezus producer Arca, though its precise attention to the most minute sonic details makes Acid Beth seem particularly uncommon. And while the EP certainly sounds fresh right now, Quirke says he put most of it together three years ago; meanwhile, he's got around 200 near-completed tracks on his hard drive.
And yet, even with all that material, he's wary of releasing an album. Because another thing that sets Quirke apart is his keen understanding of context. Though many producers today are more than willing to haphazardly throw their songs up on SoundCloud in an effort to get notice, or seem prolific, only a select few seem to care about making those tracks fit into some sort of narrative or artistic progression. Quirke, on the other hand, would rather map things out in his mind first—second-guessing as he goes—before releasing his sounds to the world at large. It's why Acid Beth took so long to come out, and why it stands out.
His well-considered strategy is likely connected with his art history studies at the University of Leeds in the mid-2000s. "If you present an artwork, it's more about how it fits within everything else as opposed to finding any aesthetic enjoyment from it," says the halting and polite producer, talking about the concepts he was drawn to in college. "I got more emotion from conceptualizing ideas and putting them together—developing a succinct whole—rather than looking at a painting." With his music as Quirke, he's placing his songs, which are still guided by raw emotions and gut reactions, inside of this more intellectual framework.
Looking ahead, the Londoner has some vague-yet-ambitious notions about modernizing our music-listening experiences to make them live up to the sensuous sounds in his head. "I'd like to make an album that you could only listen to on an individual basis," he spitballs, "so you'd have one person in the room at a time, and each play of that album would be a singular experience." Just one person in a room, enveloped by sound.
Pitchfork: How long do you spend making music each day now?
Josh Quirke: It's every evening, basically, for three, four, maybe six hours. I've been working at this manufacturer for the last three years, making bespoke furniture, like huge boardroom desks. So once I get home, music is a way of switching off. A lot of times I'll make a track and then listen to it and think, "How did I get to here?" You don't have the time to process it as a conscious decision; it's just running away with you. I have no idea how I made a lot of my best tracks. It's just a way of going into a world that isn't quite as tangible as the real one.
Pitchfork: What kind of programs and tools did you use to make this EP?
JQ: I've got Logic and other bits that I've downloaded off the internet. I've also got one of those zoom handycams, which turn out to be quite useful. At work, we have a lot of loud industrial machines, and I record those sounds and then build chord progressions around them. It can be a very inhumane way of thinking about music that is made by a human.
Pitchfork: What kind of contemporary music are you into?
JQ: I go out partying a lot, and I like some of the most interesting techno, tracks that help to create a specific world. A lot of the best records have the fewest parts, and I like a lot of techno without hi-hats—it's amazing how much that can change the mood of a whole tune.
Pitchfork: You seem to envision a very deliberate path for your releases, which is antithetical to our current era of media overload.
JQ: My whole philosophy involves this idea that you could probably learn more just from reading the same book thousands of times rather than reading a thousand different books. Because even if you don't experience anything different on each read, it's still adding up to something that may then occur at a later date. It's a different way of viewing the world.
That said, my attention span for books is actually terrible. I haven't even really watched that many films—during those two to three hours it takes to watch one, I have the urgency to do something else. I don't think I've ever really watched a film just by myself.
Pitchfork: You studied art history in university, do you visit a lot of galleries?
JQ: I'm very interested in the ideas behind art, but I never really felt the kind of attachment I do with music in an art gallery. It's not as visceral. I moved to Paris after university for about three months, and I went to the Louvre a couple of times, trying to really engage. I stared at this one piece for over an hour, but I just ended up quite bored. [laughs] The best thing is I couldn't even tell you much about the painting—I think that's beautiful in its own right. I mean, it was of a girl, but I couldn't tell you anything more than that. It's just the expressions that I find interesting.
Pitchfork: Where does the Acid Beth cover image come from?
JQ: It's a mug shot I found online. I spent a good few months trying to get the artwork, and this one guy had a lot of stuff I was into in terms of expressions. It's quite ugly, in a way, but also beautiful. She has a real resonance to her stare. It creates this profound effect.
Pitchfork: What were some of your musical memories as a teenager?
JQ: My brother used to go to all these old warehouse raves in the '90s, and he had these rave flyers posted on all four walls of his bedroom. So while I was too young to experience that myself, I think it was better in some ways to have this distance—it allowed me to paint an image in my head, which was better than the rave itself, because there was no limits to it.

Why hobbies are quickly becoming careers
Careers and hobbies both involve hard work, why not make them one and the same.
By bret.silverberg | January 16, 2014
Maybe you've read that article from
The Onion
, you know, the satirical one about finding your passion and
only doing it on nights and weekends
. But why shouldn't you love what you do for work — and still make ends meet. Wouldn't you flip the whole "working-to-support-my-hobby" routine if you could? Dan Schawbel, author of
Promote Yourself: The New Rules For Career Success
, has made his hobby his life's work. But, as he cautions, it didn't happen overnight. In the mid-2000s, he worked for EMC during the day, but spent the rest of his time blogging, writing a book and in general creating his brand. He says he put in 100 hours per week in those days, and still works to sniff out every possible opportunity today. The "working-to-live" approach, he says, is falling out of style for some in today's world, and people are making their hobbies their careers whenever they can. "It's becoming harder to do work that you hate," he says, "and if you're just in it for a paycheck, you're not going to get that job." Of course, the challenge differs depending on what your hobby is, and not everyone is willing to take the risks sometimes associated with such a move. But Alison Doyle, job search expert for
, says now is a great time to pursue one's hobby as a career. "There are so many different work options now than there were in the past," she says. For example, you could test the waters through a Kickstarter campaign to fund your new career aspiration. You could even try to run someone else's Kickstarter campaign, which could transition into full time work, she says.
Love to ski?
Work on a mountain.
And for you musicians,
check out this opportunity with a church.
Freelancing is also an option for many — Doyle says this is particularly popular for public relations professionals these days. There's even room to go the job-by-day/hobby-by-night route. Doyle offers an example: She knows someone who worked in merchandising for a big retail company, but had a desire to be a yoga instructor. She worked hard at her day job, and asked to cut back her hours at the company so she could put more time into her yoga certification and the work required therein. Based on her performance, the retail company offered her the flexibility she needed so she could get certified. But this example could also serve as a warning, Doyle says. "You need to be careful," she says. "You likely need a paycheck coming in, maybe benefits. You need all the resources to set yourself up. That dream isn't going to translate to something tangible right away, and it's probably not going to happen overnight." It's about figuring out what would work best for you, Schawbel says. He's decided that at age 30 his days of working full-time for one company are over. But he knows that he has to put in as much work as possible to take his business — and ultimately, his professional passion — to where it needs to be. "I expect it to be hard, and that expectation isn't ever going to go away," he says. And actually, Schawbel believes the hobby vs. career argument is moot; that you have to be passionate to be successful in doing any type of work. "If you're not 100 percent focused, or you continue to do work you don't like, it's going to affect your personal life anyway," he says.

UN lauds the Philippines for disaster risk reduction initiatives
Publication Date : 22-06-2014
The Philippines is one of the most disaster-prone countries in Asia that have made "striking paradigm shifts" in disaster risk reduction and management, according to the head of the Geneva-based United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR).
Margareta Wahlstrom, also UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's special representative on disaster risk reduction, on Saturday reported that Manila is "developing more sophisticated methods of gauging the impact of typhoons following 'Haiyan,'" also called Supertyphoon "Yolanda," which devastated Eastern Visayas in November.
"Even though Cyclone Haiyan claimed over 6,200 lives when it struck the Philippines, many more were spared because of early warnings and evacuations, particularly in the province of Cebu," she said in a statement issued the day before the opening of the 6th Asian Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Bangkok.
Like the Philippines, Bangladesh "has one of the best cyclone preparedness programs today, having lost hundreds of thousands of lives in the past," Wahlstrom pointed out.
Indonesia, for its part, "has made disaster risk reduction a pillar of its national development policy," she said.
"A similar revolution needs to take place in managing disaster risks across public and private sectors in the region in order to stop the haemorrhaging of assets and wealth caused by disasters," she emphasised.
According to the UNISDR chief, "there are encouraging signs that the business community across Asia is alert to the issue."
"Just last week in Manila, one of the region's most respected land developers, Hans Sy, said: 'We need to bridge the gap in understanding and convince business owners of the need to move beyond basic continuity planning and to consider the opportunity to create value in markets with products that address disaster risks and the important role of public-private sector partnership in disaster recovery,'" she said.
Wahlstrom reported "reducing economic losses will be a significant part of the great debate which we expect to have in Bangkok next week."
"The ripples from that debate will be felt beyond the recommendations for a new framework for disaster risk reduction across the whole post-2015 development agenda, which includes new sustainable development goals and a universally accepted agreement on climate change," she said.
Some 2,500 delegates from more than 39 countries in Asia-Pacific will be tasked to "shape future efforts to build more resilient communities and nations" during the UNISDR conference in Bangkok next week.
"The outcome of the meeting will have long-term significance for the world at large as the recommendations will feed into a new global agreement on disaster risk reduction, which will replace the current Hyogo Framework for Action which was adopted in 2005 by all UN member-states following the Indian Ocean tsunami," said Wahlstrom.
The UNISDR head asserted "when Asia speaks on disaster risk management, the rest of the world listens. The region suffers more than 80 per cent of the world's disaster events."
"Nine of the world's 10 most significant natural disasters by fatalities last year occurred in the Philippines, India, Pakistan, Japan and China. Some 14,500 lives were lost in tropical cyclones, floods, heat waves, and earthquakes," she said.
According to Wahlstrom, "reported economic losses totaling $50 billion accrued in China, the Philippines, Indonesia, India and Pakistan last year. And the overwhelming majority of the 95 million people whose lives were disrupted by disasters worldwide last year live in the region."
"It could have been a lot worse. Untold thousands of lives are being saved every year, particularly in weather-related disasters as early warning systems, better disaster preparedness and more efficient response systems are now in place across much of the region," she added.

Nebraska dismisses freshman guard Corey Hilliard Jr., following arrest
Jun 16, 2012, 11:09 AM EDT
Nebraska freshman guard Corey Hilliard Jr. has been dismissed from the Cornhusker basketball team, head coach Tim Miles announced Friday.
Hilliard Jr. was arrested June 7 on suspicion of robbery after, police say, he stole a cell phone during an incident last month. He allegedly took the phone from a woman and fled the scene in a car, the Lincoln Journal Star reports.
During his one season as Nebraska, Hilliard Jr. averaged 0.8 points per game and played under five minutes per contest.
Hilliard Jr.'s dismissal is another step as Nebraska continues to go through a transition, all of which began with the firing of coach Doc Sadler, who is now the director of basketball operations at Kansas.
Colorado State head coach Tim Miles was hired to fill Sadler's position, coming over from a CSU team that finished 20-12 this past season and made an appearance in the NCAA tournament.
In its first season in the Big Ten in 2011-12, Nebraska finished 12-18, including 4-14 in-conference.
Seniors Bo Spencer and Toney McCray, the team's top two leading scorers, have graduated, meaning that rising senior Dylan Talley will be the team's top returning offensive option. He averaged 8.9 points per game last season.
The Cornhuskers welcome four players from the Class of 2012, led by forward Shavon Shields.

Collections keep newspaper comics alive
orylines in volume 5 include "Chief Shellberry," "Karpse," "Scardol" and "Whip Chute," which ran January 1938 through July 1939. Gould was born in Pawnee, and his hard-bitten police detective Dick Tracy is one of the world's best-known comic-strip characters. If you want a broader overview of the history of the comic-strip, "The Comics: The Complete Collection," a Borders exclusive book from Brian Walker, will do just that. The book is a compilation of his two previous books, "The Comics: Before 1945" and "The Comics: Since 1945." Early color Sunday comic strips like "Flash Gordon" receive full-page reprints; the oversized trim gives readers a feel for what these comic strips looked like.

Question of the Day
Who Is the Greatest American?
Jul 4 2012
You guys. You guys! America! America, amiright? It's big and dumb and covered in meat and parts of it are on fire and/or covered in trash, but it's still awesome. Remember World War II? Remember fuckin' "All men are created equal"? (OK, they still had slaves when that got written, but the words are still awesome.) Remember jazz and movies and baseball? So awesome. Yeah, OK: racism, imperialism, all those natives who were killed—but look, we have 364 days a year to talk about that stuff. On July 4, let's just chill out and talk about the good parts of this country of ours. Let's talk about who the greatest American is. How about it, strangers of New York City?
Salena: Goodness, that's a hard question. Right now, I'm going to say Hilary Clinton.
Why Hilary?
Because of all that she's doing in Syria right now. The violence and the chaos there is insane and Hilary is stepping in to help.
Robbie: Dead or alive?
Either one.
Obama. I think he's a good guy.
Is some of the criticism against him racially motivated?
Yes, and I think this racism is a huge problem in America. He'd do a hell of a better job than Romney in office. Sorry, I'm so stoned right now. I just put out my joint before you came up to me.
Don't worry, you're doing fine.
My one friend is so articulate when he's stoned. He knows more about politics than politicians. Shit is crazy.
Anita: Oh, John Travolta.
Really? Is he your favorite American or your favorite actor?
He's my favorite American, I'm sure of it. I don't know why I love him, but I just do.
What about you, Marta?
Marta: John Travolta, too.
I assume you guys have seen Saturday Night Fever.
Anita: Yes and it's amazing. I love that movie. I also love Sandra Bullock, she's a great American.
I've seen Miss Congeniality more than I care to admit.
Anita: You can't see Miss Congeniality too many times!
Ryan: William S. Burroughs.
What's your favorite book of his?
Why is he your favorite American?
Well, I'm kind of a writer and I really appreciate his style. He was like a beat writer. He was a really smart guy, went to NYU and everything, but still he dumbed down his writing so that everybody would be able to read and understand his stuff.
Bird: Angelina Jolie.
How come?
She's just a really beautiful person. She's gorgeous and she does great things for children and for the world. She is selfless and does what she can to help humanity. Humans should be modeling themselves after what Angelina Jolie is doing.
People didn't like her too much after the whole Brad Pitt/Jennifer Aniston thing.
Yeah, that's bullshit. That kind of stuff happens when you date people.
Steve: It's between Jello Biafra and Frank Zappa. Jello was a real political guy, part of the Green Party. I just really respect what he did for music and what he fought for.
Why is it between him and Frank Zappa?
Frank Zappa had the ability to play something very difficult and make it look easy. He was political too, more of a libertarian. He fought against the people who were putting warnings and advisories on music. The guys who administered the parental advisories tried to reason with Frank on it and kiss his ass, but it didn't work. You can't kiss Zappa's ass.
Jose: Madea.
The Tyler Perry creation?
Yes, I love Tyler Perry and I love Madea.
What makes Tyler Perry such a great American?
He is so funny. He's a hard worker and he just keeps on making movies and shows.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I was very impressed with the thank you notes i ordered. Nice quality, fast delivery and it was so easy! I would definitely use this company again!"
"The cards were lovely, and my family loved them. I changed the color to sea glass (custom color) and the print to a dark brown to better match my color scheme, and was very happy with how they looked. My only concern was that the envelopes were a little small. I could just barely get the card in the envelope."
"We didn't buy our other wedding stationery from here, but when looking for nice Thank You cards, we wanted something specific - purple & butterflies. Wedding Paper Divas had just the card. This card was well-represented online and exceeded our expectations in person. The cardstock feels very high quality, and there was no fading or blank spots in the printing, which added to the high quality feel. The blank space inside the card allowed plenty of room for personal notes, and our guests were impressed with the look and feel of the notes."
"Love it, but thought it was a folded thank you note. Most all "Thank You" notes are folded. I didn't see on your site if it was or wasn't. Disappointed, but it will keep the note short. They are for my daughter and she said it was OK to have it on one page."
"Love my thank you cards for my upcoming bridal shower. Simple, elegant and to the point. I also was able to match the color of the flowers to my girls dresses."

MIAMI (AP) - A tropical depression formed south of Jamaica on Monday and forecasters say it will likely strengthen into Tropical Storm Sandy later in the day.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami said the depression was about 320 miles (515 kilometers) south of Kingston, Jamaica, and had winds of 30 mph (48 kph). It is expected to drift westward before heading toward Jamaica on Tuesday night or early Wednesday.
The system could be near hurricane strength of 74 mph (64 kph) as it approaches Jamaica, forecasters said.
If Sandy forms, it would be the third year in a row that the Atlantic basin has had at least 18 named storms, a higher than average year of about 11. Despite the number, only two storms have made landfall this year as hurricanes: Ernesto struck Mexico in August and Isaac hit Louisiana later that month, both as Category 1 storms. Isaac killed seven people.
Robbie Berg, a hurricane specialist at the NHC, said it is unclear why there have been an above average number of storms during the last few years. He pointed out that of this year's named storms, most were relatively weak and short-lived. Only one Atlantic storm reached Category 3 status - Michael - and it stayed well out to sea.
"We are not sure if there is any significance," Berg said.
He compared this year to 2004 and 2005 when there were several storms that caused major damage, including Katrina.
The Atlantic storm season began June 1 and runs through Nov. 30.

text: 18 January 2012 A House Divided Posted by: Robert Dewey | 1 comment | Share: Report tallies all-time low for votes to protect the environment Current members in the U.S. House of Representatives have cast the most anti-environment votes of any Congress in history. That was the take-home message of a minority report from the House Committee on Energy and Commerce commissioned by Reps. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Howard Berman (D-Calif.). According to the report, the 112th Congress cast at least one anti-environment vote for every day it was in session—a total of 191 anti-environment votes were recorded. Those votes undermined many of Defenders' priority issues such as upholding vital Endangered Species Act protections, demanding careful review of offshore drilling proposals, and taking strong action to combat climate change. Here's a further breakdown taken from the report: 27 votes to block action to address climate change, including votes to overturn EPA's scientific findings that climate change endangers human health and welfare; to block EPA from regulating carbon pollution from power plants, oil refineries, and vehicles; to prevent the United States from participating in international climate negotiations; and even to cut funding for basic climate science. 77 votes to undermine Clean Air Act protections, including votes to repeal the health-based standards that are the heart of the Clean Air Act and to block EPA regulation of toxic mercury and other harmful emissions from power plants, incinerators, industrial boilers, cement plants, and mining operations. 28 votes to undermine Clean Water Act protections, including votes to strip EPA of authority to set water quality standards and enforce limits on industrial discharges; to repeal EPA's authority to stop mountaintop removal mining disposal; and to block EPA from protecting headwaters and wetlands that flow into navigable waters. 47 votes to weaken protection of public lands and coastal waters, including votes to curtail environmental review of offshore drilling; to halt reviews of public lands for possible wilderness designations; and to remove protections for salmon, wolves, and other species. The report notes a sharp partisan divide in votes to undermine environmental protections—94% of votes cast by House Republicans were anti-environment while 86% of votes cast by House Democrats were pro-environment. But as we saw with the Extinction Rider and a handful of other conservation votes, a number of Republicans have demonstrated their willingness to join with most Democrats and stand up for America's wildlife. After all, statutes like the Endangered Species Act, signed into law by President Richard Nixon, were enacted with strong bipartisan support. Still, the overall record of the 112th Congress does not bode well, especially as we head into a tough election year. We'll be working double-time to make sure that America's imperiled wildlife doesn't fall victim to petty party politics and to encourage those Republicans who support this nation's wildlife heritage to make their voices and votes heard. Learn more about the 112th Congress' dismal voting record using the Defenders Action Fund's Conservation Report Card. One Response to "A House Divided" Marcia Ketterer January 18th, 2012 As we are all finding out, money talks – not always the truth, but it fools and tempts. Too bad Congress listens to those with the big bucks – and I'm not talking about antlered deer, either. We all deserve to have clean, healthy air and water, a special place to escape to, and to do all that can be done to stop, or curtail, climate change caused by accelerating global warming. We need to protect habitat and wildlife within it. It's called humanity and being humane; it means caring about life – not money. Reply Post Your Comment Click here to cancel reply.

Pedro Garcia-Ayala of Bethlehem charged with 2 stabbings in upstate NY
Updated On: Apr 26 2013 10:17:14 AM CDT
Authorities say a Bethlehem man has been brought back to upstate New York where he's charged in connection with the stabbing of his estranged wife and her boyfriend last month.
The Sun and Press-Bulletin of Binghamton reports that police from the village of Endicott went to Bethlehem earlier this week to extradite 35-year-old Pedro Garcia-Ayala.
Authorities say he entered an Endicott apartment early on the morning of March 27 and stabbed his wife and her boyfriend multiple times while they slept.
Garcia-Ayala was originally arrested in Bethlehem on April 9 and charged with burglary. He was brought back to Broome County Thursday and is being held without bail in the local jail.
It couldn't be determined if he had a lawyer.
