Did an easy 2 mile run this morning. These pictures are clearly before seeing as how I live in coastal, central Florida and the "feels like" at 8am was 94 degree. I had hoped to do a longer distance but did not account for what running in the heat on an empty stomach would be like. Stupid, I know. The gym is spoiling me.
The YMCA is closed today so I had planned on just skipping today's workout. When it hit about 7am I caved and went for a run outside. It was gross. I hate the heat. I hate it saps my energy and makes my legs feel like lead. I hate how 2 miles in I have to keep walking because my heart rate is nearing the 90% mark. Oh well. The important thing is I did it!
This mornings sunrise run.
Dedicated to the fallen officers in St. Petersburg last year, we invite athletes and supporters to show appreciation to our officers by participating in the:
• 6:59 am K-9 Officer Jeff Yaslowitz 10K Race / Walk
• 8:30 am Sergeant Tom Baitinger 5K Race / Walk
• 10:30 am Officer Dave Crawford 1 Mile Walk to Remember
These events were established by Lorraine Yaslowitz in memory of Jeff, Tom, and Dave.
Lorraine and Jeff often ran together and competed at local races. That, combined with Lorraine's desire to memorialize Jeff in a positive way, to thank the Tampa Bay community for their support during last year's tragedy, and to thank police officers everywhere, motivated Lorraine to establish the Partners for Life Foundation.
ALL proceeds from the race after expenses will go to the Partners for Life Foundation. Our inaugural race last May attracted 1,170 athletes and generated $20,000 in net proceeds to establish the Partners for Life Foundation. Of all the fundraisers / memorials that have taken place, this is the foundation that Lorraine created on her own to remember her husband Jeff and his fellow officers, Tom and Dave.
All courses are in downtown St. Petersburg and will feature the dowtown waterfront. They are mostly flat and aesthetically varied.
Park signs seen on my downtown runs.
5 mile run in downtown today. Proud of myself for doing it and it felt good. I think downtown is one of the easier places for me to do longer distances because there is so much to see.
Downtown St. Petersburg, Fl during my morning run. Beautiful blue sky and a gorgeous day to be out there. 3 miles run at a pretty good pace, close to a PR.
The Fred Marquis Trail began as a vision in 1983. A man whose son was killed while riding his bike, helped form the Pinellas County Metropolitan Planning Organizations Bicycle Advisory Committee, consisting of bicycle enthusiasts. The committee, in conjunction with the Pedestrian Safety Committee, wanted a safe place to enjoy bicycle riding, strolling or jogging. The county had a separate problem - what to do with a 34-mile corridor of abandoned CSX railroad right of way.
The committees' dream became a reality in 1990, when the first 6-mile section of the Pinellas Trail opened, connecting Taylor Park in Largo to Seminole Park in Seminole. The trail became immensely popular, with usage figures exceeding all expectations. With the passage of the first Penny for Pinellas one-cent local option sales tax, plans were put into motion to connect the County, from north to south, with a continuous trail.

text: Page-Turner March 9, 2010 Ripped By Macy Halford The music T-shirt: a badge of identity, a protest, a security blanket, overworn, overloved, destined to be stuffed into a dresser drawer and forgotten, come across years later and greeted somewhat sadly, a memento mori of a wilder, younger time. Unless your mother throws all your music T-shirts away. Then the music T-shirt becomes your albatross, dooming you to a life spent trawling second-hand clothing stores and eBay. Such is the fate of Cesar Padilla, the owner of the vintage boutique Cherry, in the West Village. When he was growing up in California in the seventies and eighties, Padilla frequented rock shows on the Sunset Strip, and began building a music T-shirt collection. A trip to South America in 1988 ended in horror: he returned home to find that his mother had cleaned house. Since then, he writes at the beginning of "Ripped," a book out this month from Universe, he's been attempting to reassemble his "misspent California youth." "Ripped" comprises photographs of two hundred T-shirts from the post-punk period, "after the submission of 1960′s rock 'n' roll to mass popularity and before the onset of ironic consumerism." Which is to say, the period of T-shirts that make you look extremely cool, from bands that were extremely cool. The Sex Pistols, The Fall, Holler Disco, The Runaways, Ike and Tina Turner, Cocaine Cowboys, The Shangri-Las, The Kinks, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag (to name a few). Some are glossed by cool people—Thurston Moore, Judy Nylon, Betsey Johnson—and Lydia Lunch (whose own T-shirts I'd totally wear to bed) wrote the introduction. For her, the music T-shirt aficionado in those days was someone who valued individuality: "You can't buy style any more than you can fake a rebellion just by buying a ready-made carbon copy of what a million other clueless fools are wearing this season."

As Department of Defense (DoD) outsourcing grows and globalizes, the agency's Defense Security Service (DSS) has failed to adequately monitor contractors for classified information violations, according to an independent investigation.
Ann Calvaresi Barr, head of acquisition and sourcing management issues with the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), delivered her findings before a recent hearing of the House Armed Services Committee.
Barr's investigation focused on the National Industrial Security Program (NISP), a DSS program instituted in 1993 to police how contractors detect and respond to incidents of mishandled of classified information.
First, GAO found that DSS does not systematically catalogue Pentagon contractors, including those under foreign ownership, control, or influence (FOCI).
Similarly, DSS does not catalogue and track reported violations, which Barr said is critical to targeting problem areas or contractors for added scrutiny.
GAO further found lax evaluation and reporting of violations by DSS. When DSS learns of a possible violation, they are required to determine whether a violation occurred, and if so, notify the affected agency.
GAO evaluated 93 reported violations, and in 75 cases found that DSS made no formal determination whether one had occurred. When DSS did, in most cases it took DSS more than 30 days to notify the contracting agency, in one case more than five months.
Barr citied an pattern of poor defense industrial base protection in recent years, from export controls to reviews of foreign acquisitions of U.S. defense contractors.
"Over the past several years GAO has looked at each of these and identified weaknesses in their implementation." Barr said. "These weaknesses have been exacerbated by the increasingly global nature of the defense industrial base and the increased pace of technological innovation worldwide."
GAO presented DoD specific recommendations for improved security not discussed in the open hearing, but Barr openly urged improved oversight of DSS and NISP.
Barr reported initial DoD resistance to GAO's recommendations:
"Although in its initial response to our reports, DoD did not agree with many of our recommendations or the need for corrective actions, we understand that DSS has subsequently begun to address some of the issues we raised," Barr said. "While we have not reviewed any of these actions and therefore can not address their potential effectiveness, we welcome DSS's recognition that action is needed."
Witness Troy Sullivan, acting deputy under secretary of defense for counterintelligence and security, recalled a similar reaction to a 2005 GAO report on FOCI oversight.
"Although the Department non-concurred with almost all of the recommendations, the current DSS director recognized areas within the FOCI program that needed improvement, and therefore made the FOCI process a high priority in the agency's transformation plan," Sullivan said
Sullivan pledged continued efforts to strengthen oversight.
"We understand that globalization and the active efforts of our friends and adversaries to acquire restricted technologies have not abated. The challenges for DSS have increased accordingly," Sullivan said.
DoD, Sullivan said, is "committed to the transformation of DSS from the troubled agency of the recent past, to the more robust, fully-funded, and aggressive organization that it has become."
In recent cases, both foreign nationals and U.S. citizens working for defense contractors have been charged with conspiring to steal U.S. military secrets or sensitive information for China.
This week Tai Mak, 58, of Alhambra, California, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for conspiring to transport sensitive U.S. Navy data to his native China. Mak's brother, Chi Mak, also a Chinese citizen, was an engineer employed by Navy contractor Paragon Power, Inc. in Anaheim, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Tai Mak was caught in 2005 trying to board a China-bound flight carrying a computer disk bearing encrypted data about Navy systems. Chi Mak is currently serving a 24-year prison term.

Denver Travel Guide
Plan Your Denver Vacation
Less than a mile west of downtown is the booming Central Platte Valley. Once the cluttered heart of Denver's railroad system, it's now overflowing with attractions. The imposing glass facade of the NFL Broncos' Sports Authority Field at Mile High, the stately Pepsi Center sports arena, the Downtown Aquarium, and the flagship REI outdoors store are four of the biggest attractions. New restaurants, a couple of coffeehouses, and a few small, locally owned shops, including a wine boutique, make it appealing to wander around. The sights in this area are so popular that the light-rail line was extended to connect the attractions with downtown.

THURSDAY, May 31 (HealthDay News) -- People with type 2 diabetes
taking Actos (pioglitazone) to control blood sugar may put
themselves at risk for bladder cancer, according to a new Canadian
Although the absolute risk of anyone developing bladder cancer
remains very low, taking the Actos pill for two years can double
the risk, the researchers said.
"We believe physicians, patients and regulatory agencies should
be aware of this association when assessing the overall risks and
benefits of this therapy," said lead researcher Laurent Azoulay,
from the Center for Clinical Epidemiology at the Lady Davis
Institute at Jewish General Hospital in Montreal.
"The association between the use of pioglitazone and bladder
cancer is controversial, with several studies reporting conflicting
results, from modest increased risks to no association," said
Azoulay, who also is an assistant professor in the oncology
department at McGill University in Montreal.
The report was published online May 31 in the journal
This is not the first time the drug has been linked to bladder
cancer. In 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration required the
drug maker, Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America, to add a warning
of the risk of bladder cancer to the drug's label.
Actos's sister drug, Avandia (rosiglitazone), has been linked to
increased heart risks. Both drugs are in a class of drugs called
thiazolidinediones that help control blood sugar levels in patients
with type 2 diabetes. Avandia was not associated with an increased
risk of bladder cancer in this study.
For this study, Azoulay's team collected data on nearly 116,000
people treated for diabetes from 1988 to 2009 and listed in the
General Practice Research Database, which contains records from
more than 600 medical offices in the United Kingdom.
During almost five years of follow-up, 470 patients were
diagnosed with bladder cancer. Among patients who had taken Actos,
the researchers found an 83 percent increase in the relative risk
for bladder cancer.
But they said the absolute risk was low -- 89 cases among
100,000 people who had taken the drug at any time during the five
years of follow-up. In the general U.K. population, the rate of
bladder cancer among those 65 and older is 73 cases per
The researchers also found that the risk increased as cumulative
dosage increased. For those who had taken Actos for two years or
longer -- consuming 28,000 milligrams or more in total -- the
relative risk of bladder cancer was increased 88 percent to 137
cases per 100,000 patients.
Weighing the risks and benefits, doctors who treat patients
disagree about the continued use of Actos.
Dr. Spyros Mezitis, an endocrinologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in
New York City, said "we need to be more careful with the use of
this medication."
The whole class of these drugs has come under fire, he said. "If
there are more studies like this, we will not be using this
medication," he added.
Mezitis said he starts new type 2 diabetes patients on other
drugs such as metformin to control blood sugar, rather than Actos.
Because it's a generic drug, metformin also is less expensive than
Mezitis also thinks more patients with type 2 diabetes will get
insulin earlier instead of using drugs like Actos.
"We have to tailor treatment to each patient, and there are
other ways of controlling blood sugar," he said.
Another expert, Dr. Joel Zonszein, a professor of clinical
medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and an
endocrinologist at the Clinical Diabetes Center at Montefiore
Medical Center in New York City, said he thinks the study is weak,
and the risk of bladder cancer is small.
"There is an important role for these medications," he said. "I
am probably one of the last doctors who is still supporting the use
of these medications."
Zonszein said he starts patients on Actos in combination with
other drugs such as metformin to aggressively lower blood sugar.
Patients, however, need to know the risks, he said.

Common Readies "Invincible Summer" For July Release
"I created this music for the summer time, it's about feeling good," says Common. "This is the type of music I felt was missing from my body of work."
While Kanye West and the late J. Dilla have provided production for both Finding Forever and 2005's Be, Common says both the need for a fresh sound and a lack of access to West led to the change in direction. The Neptunes and longtime Outkast contributor Mr. DJ provide all of the backing beats to Invincible Summer.
"Kanye was focusing on his Glow in the Dark show, so he hasn't been able to make it to the studio to weigh in," Common adds. "But it worked out well, organically. The Neptunes and Mr. DJ came up with a fresh sound for me."
Cee-Lo, Santogold and Chester French, who have recently signed to The Neptunes' Star Trak label, are all featured on the upcoming work. Invincible Summer could signal a return to the sound Common adopted for his 2002 release Electric Circus. The album also featured production by The Neptunes, and its experimentation with Rock and Electronica drew mixed reactions from fans and critics.
Preliminary track listing for Invincible Summer:
"Universal Mind Control (U.M.C.)"
"Make My Day" feat. Cee-Lo
"Punch Love"
"What A World" feat. Chester French
"Party Shit"
"Runaway" feat. Santogold

Albumin Testing
Serum albumin is the the most common protein in human plasma.
Your body uses it to help distribute fluids, and to transport
protein for your fatty acids. The test is often
recommended as part of a check of your liver, kidneys, or
general nutrition.
The test may also be
recommended if you have symptoms of a liver disorder such as
abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin and eyes, fatigue, or
weight loss. Other symptoms may include swelling around
the legs, belly or eyes. The levels of albumin in your
blood may increase due to the use of insulin, anabolic steroids,
growth hormones, or androgens.

Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:42:24 PMSony PlayMemories Online collects all the photos you take on your Sony phone and stores them in a cloud based location. That's useful if you're always running out of space on your phone.
Jason Jenkins 9/4/2013 2:42:31 PMThe phone looks good, but I don't know why Sony insists on loading all the extra software features on there, it doesn't add much apart from making it harder for Sony to update it with new versions of Android.

Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:42:46 PMStorage is unlimited -- that's impressive. It's in Germany, France, the UK and the US, and some other countries too.
Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:43:12 PMThe Z1 gives you 'best in class imaging', Hirai enthuses. 'But as you'd expect from Sony we're also giving you an outstanding screen'.
Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:43:28 PMIt's a 5-inch display, with Sony display tech on board.
Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:43:56 PMIt has a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and 'premium' specs. That'll mean quad-core, then.
Jason Jenkins 9/4/2013 2:43:58 PMBetter performance, better battery life says Sony: nice.
josh.miller 9/4/2013 2:44:20 PM
Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:44:41 PMIf you buy this phone you'll get a movie pass to see a digital version of the film Elysium.
Jason Jenkins 9/4/2013 2:45:16 PMInteresting to see Sony really starting to make the fact it owns a movie studio and music label work for its electronics business.
Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:45:16 PMThat's all for the Z1. 'We're continuing to drive innovation' Sony says.

Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:45:30 PMSmartWatch 2 has got a release date -- it's out later this month, across the globe.
Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:45:49 PMI wonder why Sony would want to talk about its existing smart watch today, eh?
Jason Jenkins 9/4/2013 2:45:50 PMSmartWatch 2 will be in shops next month: I wonder when Samsung's Galaxy Gear will appear?

Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:46:29 PMHirai is talking more about the Z1's camera tech. There's one more surprise, it seems.
josh.miller 9/4/2013 2:46:46 PM
Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:47:02 PMCrikey, how bizarre -- the Cybershot QX10 and QX100 are camera lenses that clip onto your smartphone.
Jason Jenkins 9/4/2013 2:47:42 PMA lens that clips onto a phone so you can take better pictures is a great idea, but how much will it cost?
josh.miller 9/4/2013 2:47:56 PM
Jason Jenkins 9/4/2013 2:48:05 PMI don't know why a lady had to have that lens on a tray
Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:48:08 PMThe lens is huge, a proper DSLR-style affair by the looks of it, and connects to your phone wirelessly. Good idea? Have your say in the comments.
josh.miller 9/4/2013 2:48:32 PM
Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:48:53 PM'I'm not going to let you down' Hirai says. He's talking about the camera tech still, but it's still inspirational. *Wipes away single tear*
Jason Jenkins 9/4/2013 2:49:25 PMOur photographer Josh Miller has just nodded and said "nice" at the QX100, so there's at least one customer for this.
Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:49:25 PMBoth lenses have Wi-Fi and Sony Exmor image sensors. The X100 has a 1-inch sensor.
josh.miller 9/4/2013 2:49:35 PM
Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:50:05 PMThe Xperia Z1 is 'truly a watershed moment' Hirai says. No pun intended.
Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:50:25 PM'I'd like to take a moment to share with you, a video'. Here's some more Xperia Z1 footage.
Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:51:22 PMWe're hearing from Sony designers who worked on the phone. It's a very Apple-esque presentation on design and craftmanship. The phone does look pretty cool though, and waterproof is a big feature that I'd like to see in more phones.
Jason Jenkins 9/4/2013 2:51:55 PMPhones are the one part of Sony Electronics that's doing well at the moment, and the Xperia Z1 does nothing to upset that. Nothing to win the smartphone race, either, but it's another step in the right direction.
Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:52:17 PMWe're hearing again about the live broadcasting tech. It sends video from your phone straight to Facebook, complete with comments. Sounds like a battery killer, but could be handy at birthday parties, perhaps!
Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:53:11 PMThe video is over. A smattering of applause.
Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:53:23 PMThe Z1 will launch this month. Wow, that's quick, Sony!
Jason Jenkins 9/4/2013 2:53:26 PMI'm guessing all of Samsung's top-end smartphones will be waterproof next year, it's a great feature.
josh.miller 9/4/2013 2:53:28 PM

Luke Westaway 9/4/2013 2:54:20 PMIt seems we're wrapping up. New TVs, audio tech and cameras, but the Z1 is the main event, and very much hogged the limelight.

Northern NJ man shot to death outside wake
Saturday - 2/2/2013, 12:15pm EST
PATERSON, N.J. (AP) - Authorities say a man was shot to death while he waited in his car for his girlfriend to leave the wake of another homicide victim at a New Jersey funeral home.
Paterson police say 25-year-old Conrad Bishop was shot several times around 10 p.m. Thursday. He staggered out of his car and collapsed in front of the funeral home as the wake was letting out.
It's not clear whether he was targeted or whether the killings are connected.
Bishop, of West New York, was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
His girlfriend had been attending a wake for a 22-year-old woman whose body was found Sunday on a highway entrance ramp.

If the question read are they presiding over open borders then I would agree.
'Open Borders' (C) is the official copyright of the last Labour government. When the public's concerns were being voiced, Blair, Brown et al studious ignored those concerns because UK Governments run on an illogical attitudes that they are "Infallible", jsut like the Pope. The numbers coming into the UK was grossly underestimated, so the last Labour Gobbment stuck folks in swish looking uniforms to make it appear..."That we were doing things...!" This is the typical moves of proffessional Bull merchants, who put up smoke screens to hide their incompetencies.
So, to come up to date under the Tory-conmen and Limp-Dumbers Ko-alitions, the UKBA is still continuing the same "Smoke 'n Mirrors" bulldropping policy of running around in ever decreasing circles, to give the story that they are 'efficient and effective'.
So, to come back to the statement that they, the UKBA has been runing an unofficial amnesty for illegals, foriegn criminals and Johny Foriegners who do NOT have the best wishes of the UK at heart - yes this is possibly correct. There are far too many illegals now in Blighty to be found, processess or deported (the 'Oomin Rites Act' won't allow them to do this).
In any case, we are not responsible for their present-day tribal/sectarian conflicts. It seems that they all wanted independence, massive foriegn aid and support, but now it's all gone pear-shaped they want to flock to the homeland of their former 'oppressors'!

Friday, October 24, 2014 As of 7:59 PM EDT
U.S. Edition
Zambia v Ethiopia
Promising Everton youngster, Ross Barkley today signed a deal to join Leeds United on a one month loan deal. The England Under 19 star is highly rated by the Merseyside club and the loan deal sees him take a further step in his development.
Early this season he enjoyed a successful loan spell at Sheffield Wednesday, in which he was important part of Dave Jones' squad. A goalscoring midfielder, he sets to fit in with the Leeds' team. A Warnock type player. Leeds have ambitions of promotion, which their hope lies in the Playoffs. A successful attempt would look very nice on the CV of this future England star.
The last meeting between the two sides produced a thrilling 1-1 draw at the Liberty, the semi final is set to be a cracker in the league cup. Chelsea eased through the quarter final with 5-1 win away at Leeds. While Swansea left it late against Middlesbrough with Seb Hines heading into his own net with ten minutes to go.
It is probably fair to say, Joe Cole was perhaps England's best footballer in mid 2006. At the top of his game with England and Chelsea, he was up there with the likes of Gerrard, Lampard and Owen. Them days are long gone and his time at Liverpool was certainly a time to forget. Now Cole has his chance to revitalise his career at his old hunting ground, West Ham.
A tricky customer who enjoys being played in behind, Joe Cole could fit into West Ham's system taking chances on loose flick ons. He has lost a yard of pace, but regular football could see him return to a good standard of fitness. It was easy to tell he wasn't enjoying it under Rodgers at Liverpool. In his loan spell with Lille, he was one of the top players in Ligue 1. Still only 31 if can capture some of the form on show from five years ago, he could stake a claim for the England squad. Joe Cole was always one of the hardest workers in the England squad, Hodgson is a big fan of the hard workers. The move to West Ham is good one for him, perhaps a return to the Cole of old is on the cards.
A dejected Harry Redknapp looks on as his side whimper out of the year with 3-0 drubbing to Liverpool. With the first half performance warranting the Americanism, 'Garbage'. A word that reflects the whole year itself, complete and utter garbage.
Redknapp seems forced to hold onto false optimism, insisting his QPR side can still stay up. That appears to be a pipe dream. No side has quite been as woeful since the Derby County side of 2007-08. That Derby wasn't built on big star names like QPR, which possibly gives the edge to QPR for the worst Premier League team ever. If there is any hope for survival. Redknapp must rally the troops and get them playing as a team. QPR are currently a group individuals seemingly orchestrated by Adel Taarabt. January signings need to be made and they need to make an impact. Its going to be difficult to sell QPR to players, but if anyone can. 'Arry's your man!

The villa was excellent and as there were only 4 guests it was obviously very spacious. The location was excellent and the eating places on the front were good. We ate in every one of them in turn. All in all it was a lovely holiday and I would have no hesitation in booking with Solmar again. Mrs Snape 22/05/09
I very much enjoyed the service provided by Solmar and would recommend your company highly to friends and work colleagues. Villa Linda had very good external space, a nice pool area and gardens. The Villa itself was a good basic villa. Overall the villa was very comfortable and clean, and good value for money. Mrs Fowler
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Villa, Without a doubt the centrepiece of the villa was the pool which was great for all of us. Mr Fraser 09/07/10
Firstly, many thanks to Solmar for your efficient and excellent service at all times. Thanks to Bev - your local rep in Menorca - and the efficient tranfers to/'from airport. We would not hesitate to use you again or recommend. Villa Linda - this is a spacious villa for large families with a fabulous swimming pool area which we made sure we took full use of. The villa is typically fairly basic but was clean and the maid and pool service efficient. The upstairs area was seemingly a lot more fresh and bright. No complaints though we were there to enjoy the outdoors and the sun!!! Punta Prima - this is only a small resort with a small but beautiful beach which is manned by lifeguards. It has 2 well stocked supermarkets with everything you could need if a little expensive. A 15 minute bus ride to Sant Lluis took us to a huge supermarket with excellent prices which we used a couple of times - this bus service was hourly from 07.00 - 23.00 for 1.60 euro single. There are a few restaurants in Punta Prima - all seem to be priced about the same but value for money we would recommend Casa Fermin on the seafront - huge portions, well cooked food with good service. Things to do - not a lot to be honest but as sun worshippers we were not bothered. The mini-train to Binibequer is interesting but at 7 euros for an hours round trip is expensive with seemingly no special rates for kids. We took the bus into Mahon and a trip around the harbour which was extremely interesting and well worthwhile. Mahon is a beautiful ancient city full of character and if you drink gin, the local brew is a must!! All in all, an excellent holiday for all my family - thanks to all at Solmar who helped to make it happen. Mr Banner & Family 17/06/11

Small Child Dancing At Lakers Game Upstaged By Large Man Doing The Robot
The Los Angeles Lakers played the Denver Nuggets in a pre-season game last night in Ontario (the city in California, not the province in Canada). The Lakers won 90-88, pleasing the sparse crowd at Citizens Business Bank Arena. But it wasn't nearly as pleasing as a few off-court events, which included Kobe Bryant sitting on the bench in warmups, a small child dancing his ass off, and a large man doing the robot.[LakeshowGold] Powered by Sidelines

Malalai's Forced Marriage
- Comments (13)
- Recommended (1)
- View profile
This is the condensed version of the original story that was written by my Afghan son, Fazilhaq
Everybody was shouting for help as the fire flames danced in the dark night. The fire changed the happy ceremony to a sad one. The women who were singing wedding songs were left to scream and mourn. Their loud cries woke my family and our sleepy neighbors. Everyone went to check what had happened. By the time we got there, the fire was killed. The burnt body of the young bride lay on the floor. The wedding car which was decorated with flowers and ornaments took the girl to the hospital.
I came home and my mom told me, "Malalai disagreed to marry this man who was almost as old as her grandfather. She would rather commit suicide then lie with that old man." She continued, "Gull Bibi is her mother and a friend of mine. She's a really nice woman, but her husband isn't. He's very greedy and loves money and would do anything for it. She told me just three days ago that their daughter warned him that she would kill herself if she had to marry that man. Poor Malalai!"
The next day, the funeral prayer time was announced from the mosque's loudspeaker. The coffin was taken on the shoulders of those who came to celebrate her wedding ceremony. Malalai's mother chased the car that held her daughter's coffin down the unpaved streets of Sar-e-pul. She screamed, "Please don't take her away. Please don't put her in the grave. Please don't. She's my child. Please don't take her away……."
It was almost dinner time. For three days, meals are brought to the family by relatives or neighbors. My mom prepared dinner and told me to take it to Malalai's family. I entered the house and gave the meal to one of the family members. Inside the house, I saw Gull Bibi sitting in the corner leaning against the mud walls. I saw her red eyes. She had no more tears.
Seven days after Malalai's death, Gull Bibi came to our house to see if her daughter had borrowed anything from us or owed us anything. My mom quickly answered her question, "No, No, Gull Bibi sister. Malalai was like my own daughter. She doesn't owe anything to me."
Aunt Gull Bibi requested me to write a list of the things that her daughter owed to some people. "Look my son Fazilhaq, I asked almost all the people who knew my daughter if she owed anything to them. I told them I would pay them for it, but nobody is ready to tell me. They say that they've forgiven her. I remember some of the things. Could you please note them in a list?" She started, "Once when she was four years old, she took 2 Afghanis from her uncle's wallet without informing him. It sounds like stealing. Let's call it 'stole' - so she stole 2 Afghanis from her uncle's wallet to buy herself 2 lollypops. Whenever I see another child chewing a lollypop, I remember Malalai. How can I forget her while her memories are stuck with me in every moment of my life? I can't forget her! I can't forget her!"
As I looked at her weak, old and wrinkled face, I saw big drops of tears falling from her wrinkled eyes. She couldn't stop this rain of tears falling from her eyes. My mom tried to comfort her. A few seconds later she started again, "When she was five years old, she didn't have sandals. Her old ones were torn and not useable. She used to cry when she walked barefoot on the cold earth." Gull Bibi dried her eyes, "so our neighbor who died two years ago brought her a pair of sandals. I think it cost him 20 Afghanis at that time. Since our nice neighbor is no longer alive, I'll pay his son." She cried mournfully again.
Consequently, she became angry, "It was all because of her father, my husband, Zalmai Khan. I told him that our daughter doesn't want to marry this man, he didn't listen. He was too greedy. Saifuddin offered him a huge dowry. Malalai was 16 and he's 62 years old. She told us she would kill herself if she was forced to marry that old man. But my husband threatened to cut her tongue and told her she was shameless and disrespectful."
Gull Bibi continued, "Malalai didn't speak another word for an hour. She just cried. He said that my Malalai was Bihaya. Is it being shameless when you tell your parents that the decisions they make for you are wrong? He said 'study, knowledge and education don't fit our society' How can they fit our society while we've closed all our doors toward it?"
After hearing this sorrowful story, we all cried - me, my two sisters, my mom and aunt Gull Bibi. This story filled our hearts with sadness. Gull Bibi mumbled, "Sorry, instead of telling you the things she owed. I told you the whole painful story… How much money do I owe so far?"
"It's ok that you told us this. She owed 2 Afghanis for the lollypops, 20 Afghanis for the sandals and 60 Afghanis for the Eid clothes. The total is 82 Afghanis." I said.
Something came to her mind and she turned to my mom. "Look my dear sister; we have to stop all these forced and arranged marriages. Don't let your daughters go into a situation like this. Whenever someone comes to my home to show sympathy, I have the same advice for him or her. I don't want the same thing to happen to another girl like my Malalai."
She was quiet for a while and dried her eyes, but suddenly she remembered something else to add to the list. She looked at me and said, "My son Fazilhaq, since she killed herself on her own wedding night in her in-laws' house, she also owes something to them."
I replied with a shocking gesture, "She didn't spend one night there and didn't touch a thing in their house so what does she owe them?"
She replied with tears growing in her eyes, "Could you also add the money for the gasoline which she used to burn herself to death?"

Very touching
Dear friend,
This is very touching and thought provoking. Thousands of such incidents keep happening around the world everyday. But to see it positively i would say just like Malalai's mom every mother would take a decision to be careful in not loosing another life or fall victim to another incident like this. That is the change we need. If not now, when?
Lets pray for all the mothers who are put down with this burden and pain which is no more bearable and certainly needs a counteraction. Thanks for sharing.

Malalai's Forced Marriage
Wow thank you for sharing this story. This is so very sad. How does Zalmi Khan feel now that his daughter is dead. Does he care that he forced her into ending her life? He should be held accountable for her death. Also, the in laws do not deserve anything. The marriage never occurred so you don't owe anything. Mothers need to stand up to their husbands. Women in this village need to come together and fight your husbands because you are going to lose your kids. These kids are the future generation and should not be forced to marry older men. I know in the Eastern world that this is common, but in order to change the mindsets of men, women need to come together and create a powerful group. Best of luck please keep us posted.

Changing mindsets
I agree too. We have to change these traditional mindsets and sometimes I think that because males are threatened by females (our emotional and physical strength) that they initially set these rules and then used religion to justify them. Of course we know that God is unbiased but we have to change mens' minds....take care and I wish you the best. do you celebrate Aid or Navratri? In any case, I wish you the best.
Kind Regards,

Thats shocking!
So painful...so touchy...But yes, its happening in different forms in different countries...forced marriages and many Malalai...I pray it ends.

Thank you for sharing such a
Thank you for sharing such a painful and tragic story, Kara
I can only imagine the desperation that Malalai felt as she decided to end her life rather than marry a man she knew would make her miserable. It's very sad that the family didn't believe that encouraging Malalai to get an education and to make her own decisions was a possible option.
I agree with you that in patriarchal societies both girls and boys are being told what their roles are and how they should behave. They believe that this is how they must act and if they do reject common practices, they are seen as a disgrace.
Unfortunately, practices such as arranged marriage shows us that there is still a lot of work to be done in order for fathers to value their daughters and to empower them.

Cases of yeast infection have been so common among many men and women hence necessitating the question "how long do yeast infections last?" It's imperative to note that a yeast infection is a natural occurring disease that affects women at least once in their lifetime. The disease is caused by a fungus called Candida albicans and has been a thorn in the flesh for many people across the globe. Yeast is naturally produced in the body and does not have any side effects unless it reaches low levels. In the absence of good bacteria to check the growth of yeast, it turns into a yeast infection and causes itching, discomfort and soreness. The treatment of a yeast infection typically lasts about a week for those infections which are not severe.
This however is heavily pegged on the type of medication a person uses as well as the severity of the infection. People who get the infection for the first time should consider consulting a doctor before they can seek self medication. In a nutshell, yeast infections do not last for a long time depending on how quick a person takes medication. The duration should take at least four to five days if the medication is taken in the right way. As such, individuals should take it upon themselves to seek medication for every yeast infection.

USOC chair would vote to amend charter
PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — America's newest member of the International Olympic Committee would vote to amend the Olympic charter to list sexual orientation as a form of discrimination.
U.S. Olympic Committee chairman Larry Probst, voted onto the IOC last month, said Tuesday that such an amendment is one of the few avenues available to the USOC as it tries to send a message to Russia, which recently passed an anti-gay law, less than a year before it hosts the Winter Olympics.
The sixth item in the charter's "Fundamental Principles of Olympism" says "any form of discrimination … on grounds of race, religion, politics, gender or otherwise is incompatible with belonging to the Olympic Movement." It does not specifically mention sexual orientation.
Probst reiterated that a boycott of the Sochi Olympics is not an option.

Feed Your Ears: New Music "That Sh*t Cray" by Shane Eli
First things first, don't worry, this isn't a "Ni**as in Paris" freestyle. Come on folks, do you really think I'd do that to you? But Shane Eli's new banger "That Sh*t Cray" does find inspiration in Ye and Jay's deliberate ignorance for an ode to Klonopin, Behihana binges and wrecked Bugattis….
Unlike the majority of his work, "Cray" wasn't also produced by Eli - this time around it's Erik Belz who flips Ye's instant classic tag line into a banger. LOVE it! Makes me wish I had a sports finals, its the perfect hype song, its cray cray!

Any suggestions of which would be the better route to take? I want to try for a primarily PvE spec that includes solo grinding, 5 man dungeon crawls (normal and heroic), 10 man raiding and 25 man raiding.
11/0/43 Base Talent Spec:
17/0/43 Deep Wounds/Impale Spec:
11/5/43 Cruelty Spec:

LAMORNA, England, Nov. 21 (UPI) — A British artist said she and her loom "miraculously" evaded injury when a pair of cows fell through the roof of her workshop.
Sue Marshall, 77, said she was vacuuming in her Lamorna, England, kitchen when the cows crashed through her roof and landed next to her loom, the BBC reported Thursday.
Marshall said the cows, which were not injured, broke through a fence in a field overlooking the building.
"I heard a terrific crash. I ran outside thinking a tree had come down," Marshall said. "Then I noticed a hole in the roof and a cow looking at me through the door. It was skidding about on wool and a broken table and skylight."
"Each one miraculously missed my loom," she said.
Marshall said the farmer next door has reinforced the fence to make sure the cows stay contained.
Alan Goddard of insurers Cornish Mutual said the June incident highlights a safety issue.
"This very unusual case really does highlight the importance of keeping boundary fences in good condition," he said. "Fortunately, no one was physically harmed and neither of the cows suffered any injuries. Livestock owners are potentially liable through common law and statute for accidents caused by animals straying, so land or animal owners should ensure that all fences are kept in reasonable order at all times."
