Girls soccer: Vero Beach on a roll
Indians cruise into the region semifinals with a rout of Ocoee
VERO BEACH — It took almost 30 years, but the Vero Beach girls soccer team finally won another regional tournament game — and made it look easy.
Six days after ending a 24-year drought of no district titles, the Fighting Indians topped Ocoee 6-0 in a Region 2-6A quarterfinal Thursday at the Citrus Bowl to earn the program's first regional victory since 1983.
They played like a team anxious to get another monkey off their collective back and were rewarded for their effort, despite leading just 1-0 at halftime.
Vero Beach now plays host to Apopka or Bayside in the regional semifinals Tuesday.
"It's wonderful," Vero Beach coach Jose Gibert said. "It's another great gift for our seniors, who are a part of the Class of 2011 that will go down as the class that won a district title and won the first regional game in a long time. Hopefully we can keep it going and keep adding to that."
Vero Beach dominated possession from the start, but after several near-goals through the first 30 minutes, it seemed as though all it was going to take was one Ocoee mistake in front of the net for the Indians to punch in the first goal.
Left winger Sarah Keville made sure the Indians' hard work did not come down to luck, though. After the ball bounced around a few times inside the 18-yard box, Keville received the ball from Alex Kuh at the top of the box with a defender about three yards in front of her. She took a touch to the outside and sent a perfectly-placed shot to the upper right corner, giving Vero Beach a 1-0 lead with 5:14 left in the first half.
"It felt really good," Keville said. "We were getting so close for so long, and it took a lot of pressure off us when we scored. We got in a groove and were able to build momentum to score more goals in the second half — 6-0 is a huge win."
Vero Beach came out more patient and poised in the second half. After out-shooting Ocoee 13-5 in the first stanza, the Indians settled in and used their speed and good ball movement against a much slower Knights defense to break open the game.
About 14 minutes into the second half, Kathleen Keenan crossed the ball to an open Lauriell Young at the 12-yard mark, and Young headed it past diving Knights goalkeeper Gisselle Delgado, who had been playing far off her line all evening.
The Ocoee defense seemed to wear down quickly after that. Vero Beach also started to play smarter — working its attack from the outside or playing balls up the middle from the midfield to create more shot opportunities.
"We started picking them apart, finding the gaps and finding the seams," Gibert said. "We were moving the ball well, and they know if we possess the ball, we are going to get our opportunities."
Keenan made it 3-0 with a goal off a rebound at the 20-minute mark and tacked on another goal a minute later. A Young to Keenan to Young scoring effort gave the Indians their fifth goal with 11:45 left before Keville netted her second goal from the outside to end the scoring.
Vero Beach goalkeeper Destiny Kelley saw just four shots from Ocoee, three that required saves, as the defense shut down the Knights top player, Rasha Roberts.

A Naked Singularityby Sergio De La Pava
A Naked Singularity tells the story of Casi, a child of Colombian immigrants who lives in Brooklyn and works in Manhattan as a public defender--one who, tellingly has never lost a trial. Never. In the book, we watch what happens when his sense of justice and even his sense of self begin to crack--and how his world then slowly devolves. It's a huge, ambitious novel clearly in the vein of DeLillo, Foster Wallace, Pynchon, and even Melville, and it's told in a distinct, frequently hilarious voice, with a striking human empathy at its center.

Remains of missing former East Naples resident found near Atlanta on-ramp
Last Sunday, Pamela Papapostolou logged into Facebook and wrote on a page called "Find Ethan Condon."
It had been 687 days since she last spoke with her son, who was at a Greyhound Bus Station in Atlanta when he disappeared in 2010.
"Today is the second Mother's Day without you," she wrote. "You are always the first one to call me. I miss you and love you so much. Please come home."
She learned of her son's death two days later, when an officer met her in Sycamore, Ill., where she now lives. Condon, who attended East Naples Middle School and Lely High School in the 1990s, had been found near an interstate on-ramp in Atlanta.
Although the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office was able to identify Condon, it cannot say for sure how he died — there was no sign of trauma to his bones that indicated foul play and not enough evidence for toxicology tests to determine a possible drug overdose.
On June 26, 2010, Condon had been living in West Palm Beach but took a bus to Atlanta, where he planned to catch a ride to Chicago to visit his mom. He missed his connection, though, and called her to say he'd be late, Papapostolou said.
He sounded anxious, she said, but said he was going to go for a walk before he caught the next bus, which was scheduled to come in three hours. He told his mom he loved her and hung up.
When Papapostolou went to the Greyhound station to pick him up, though, he wasn't there.
"I called him on his cellphone, and I don't recall quite how many times I called, and nobody picked up, and nobody picked up, and nobody picked up," she said.
For almost two years, no one could tell her where her son was. Then, on April 19, a highway maintenance worker was clearing grass along Interstate 20, about a half-mile from the Greyhound station, when he saw a man's skull and called police.
With the body, authorities found a wallet, Condon's Florida ID, a phone charger and $1.56 in coins.
"It was heavily overgrown," said Tami Sedivy-Schroder, an investigator with the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office. "In fact, even once the debris was cut back to the fence, unless you were right next to him you would not have seen him."
Sedivy-Schroder identified the bones as Condon's through a metal plate in his wrist. She received confirmation Tuesday when Naples medical records were sent to her office.
Condon was 9 when the family moved to East Naples in the early 90s.
"He had many friends in Naples," Papapostolou said. "He was very popular. People loved to be around him."
At 13, though, he started smoking pot and became addicted to drugs, she said, eventually leaving high school to go into treatment and sober up in West Palm Beach. A bright kid, he received his GED without even studying and later graduated from Palm Beach Community College, Papapostolou said.
Condon was sober for eight or nine years and had made it part way through Florida Atlantic University, hoping to become a history teacher, when he became addicted to drugs again. This time, it was the painkillers doctors had prescribed for his wrist after the metal plate was put in.
Things got worse when at 29, his dog got out of a gate and was hit by a car.
"Ethan was not the same after that," Papapostolou said. "He really started using drugs more heavily."
At the time of Condon's bus trip to Illinois, the family planned to readmit the 30-year-old into treatment.
"He was terrible almost every time I talked to him," his mother said.
Papapostolou believes her son, who had a heart defect, might have fallen down a steep slope near where his body was found, either from a heart attack or from drugs.
Instead of a formal funeral ceremony, the family will have a "celebration of life," the way Condon would have wanted. Instead of flowers, they're asking for donations to the Freedom House in Lake Park, Fla., a halfway house for chemically dependent individuals, so others like Condon can receive the help they need.
On Tuesday, Papapostolou logged back into Facebook and posted another message: "Our long journey is over ... We are overwhelmed with grief and so sad for such a troubled life. He was a wonderful son."

Ratko Mladic, "God of Genocide," arrested
(PHOTOS / REUTERS. At left, in 1993: Bosnian Serb army Commander General Ratko Mladic (L) salutes.)
The self-proclaimed "God of genocide" in Srebrenica, the Serbian ethnic general Ratko Mladic was arrested today in a small village eighty kilometers from Belgrade.
Mladic sheltered there with a relative, and lived under a false name. For years on end he hid like a house-mouse, and was arrested with a similar meekness.
Old, docile, with one hand crippled, the formerly ferocious warlord lived peaceably and invisibly in a house that had been searched repeatedly by the Serbian police. This long-wanted war criminal and exceedingly successful fugitive from justice had a 10 million euro award on his head.
And yet, recent polls say that, despite the suffering and ignominy he brought them, 51 percent of Serbian citizens would not have given him up to the international war tribunal in the Hague. No, not for any money. Serbian stubbornness has gone beyond the period of Mladic's bloodstained hero-worship. Nowadays the Serbs have grown indifferent to Mladic while actively resenting the European Union, whose economic disorders have made Serbian life miserable.
And yet it appears that somebody did betray Mladic for the reward: someone among his circle of close friends. Some years ago, an entire group of people, who were all accused of actively sheltering Mladic, were released from a Serbian court through lack of evidence.
(Above, Mladic (C) arrives at special court in Belgrad, May 26, 2011. Bosnian Serb wartime general Mladic was arrested in Lazarevo in the early hours on Thursday after years on the run from international genocide charges.)
After his arrest, only a few drunken people gathered before his hideout, and also in downtown Belgrade: the usual hooligan nationalist bands. Mladic was taken to the special court of war crimes in Belgrade to be interrogated. But this effort was interrupted because of the former general's "difficult psychological and physical condition."
Mladic seems to have been babbling, but he managed to say, according to his lawyer, that he does not recognize the war tribunal in Hague, and will not plead guilty or innocent. He was armed with two pistols when he was arrested, but he gave himself peacefully.
Who will pick up the 10 million euro reward? How much prosperity did Ratko Mladic cost Serbia over these 16 years? These money issues are the big questions in Serbian press. Although the police said they will not take a penny, they did their regular job.
As a further financial twist, the state still owes the general his regular pension, which he never received (as a fugitive). Handsome lump-sums have paid by and to the other citizens of the state -- mainly, blood money for his victims.
And what about the dead? Do they have a price? Gone without a name, many of them still without graves since their bodies, dismembered and scattered all over the territory are still being sought. The silence of the ghosts is loud as ever in this moment of joy and victory.
More recently, European pressure has intensified from the Hague tribunal; on June 6 the Serbian government faced a grim report from Serbia by Serge Brammertz, citing them for non-cooperation with the United Nations. Europe is experiencing many difficulties, but Serbia, like a tin can tied to a cat's tail, suffers them even more so.
The primary obstacle to Serbia's European harmonization is and was, of course, the genocidal war criminal Ratko Mladic.
We citizens of Serbia all knew that Mladic was hiding among us in Serbia; don't ask me why, but we never believed the many tales spread about his death or his exile. Given his modest rural circumstances, he was concealed more discreetly than the Pakistanis hid Osama bin Laden -- but the parallels there are obvious. Mladic had his protectors in the covert wing of the government, and the Serbian government is traditionally an enterprise in which everything is covert, and yet everybody knows. Ask them not why they turned him in, but why they delayed until today.
A couple of years ago, Radovan Karadzic, the mastermind of the ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, was arrested in downtown Belgrade. Dr. Karadzic had been hiding under a long beard as a New Age quack guru. Witnessing this travesty on television, my aged father said: Ratko Mkadic is a soldier! He will never do a thing like that! He will rather commit suicide than humiliate himself in that manner or get arrested by police! Mladic will never go to The Hague!
The same myth of fearless valor was running for the late president of Serbia, Milosevic who actually was arrested and died in The Hague. Milosevic was a close collaborator with the Bosnian Serb warlords, Karadzic and Mladic, in surpressing the Muslim population of Bosnia.
This demon dream team of Balkan genocide: Milosevic, Mladic and Karadzic, were all destined for The Hague. They were playing chess with one another in the anteroom of justice, waiting for a sentence longer than their lives. Only death could bring them peace and liberation. Radovan Karadzic sent immediately from the Hague a message to arrested Mladic: I am sorry this happened, but I will help you out, we will work together for the truth!
Some years ago I wrote a book on genocide in Srebrenica, the largest single war crime in Europe after World War II. My first question, after analyzing the design of crime was: how did they manage to exterminate eight thousand people in a couple of days? How could they hide thousands of bodies from the international community, from the people present there, from the bereaved families?
After the recent capture of Osama Bin Laden, Ratko Mladic was the fugitive number one in the world. The US president Obama said he was happy Serbia perfomed its duty. The world press is giving all the credits to the pro-European government of president Boris Tadic, and his determined policy to pull Serbia away from the criminal past.
Today in Serbia even the radical right wing opposition is officially pro-European. No one in or near power aspires to dirty their hands with the Balkan wars; that brings no benefit. Modern Serbia has a cult of tennis stars rather than warlords. These Millennial adults have won some credibility, since they impress the outside world, without any taint of the distant 1990s.
The mothers of Srebrenica victims declared themselves contented with this turn of events. They expected it many years ago; but better later than never. These women have learned to be deeply suspicious of the tribunal in The Hague; the international lawyers there declared their prize mementos and personal evidence to be bulky and useless; unfit for a modern court proceeding. So much for their cherished mementos of their dead, their hoarded proofs that the vanished dead had really lived, that they were murdered.
A moment of justice is commonly liberating for the offended as well as the criminals. But the moment of truth even more so. There is no justice without truth. The arrest of Ratko Mladic and his adamant transfer to the Hague tribunal will be a litmus test for this universal and ancient motto. And for our globalized world of crime and punishment.

Justice will come when he's twitching at the end of a rope. Not before.
How's that justice? What is justice? As far as I was aware, there's just us (thanks Terry Pratchett!).
If we're gonna let our morals be sated by bloodlust, how does that make us any better than the war criminals we pursue?
Great text. Thanks.
Evil men will get caught when they're not of use anymore.
Hard not to get cynic.
How come Serbia did not emulate the 2009 Nobel Peace Price Winner and executed Mladic on the spot instead of capturing him?
[end sarcasm]
Well, partly because a lot of people there view him as a hero and partly because it's harder to get away with just splatting people that you don't like in Europe. But I'd still be very willing to try a cultural exchange and send The Leader Of The Free Worldâ"¢ to Serbia for a couple of years.
"Because a lot of people there view him as a hero".
That one doesn't stick – One could say the same about Bin Laden's popularity in Pakistan.
Well, Ratko Mladic is a Serb who was arrested by Serbs in Serbia, and Osama bin Laden was a Saudi Arabian killed by Americans in Pakistan, but other than that – identical circumstances. Radovan Karadžić's whereabouts was Europe's biggest open secret for years before it became politically expedient to bring him in.
What the moderator said – what precise evidence beyond Western media-sourced speculation do you have that bin Laden every enjoyed broad popularity in Pakistan?
That aside, I agree with the general point re: double standards and international war criminals – Kissinger for one ought to be standing trial in the Hague, among so many other American perpetrators.
Kissinger, yes. Another Nobel laureate that would have a lot of explanation to do…
Mind you I didn't say Bin Laden enjoyed broad popularity, I merely compared his with Mladic. They might have little nowadays. But how do you access Mladic's popularity? Half the Serbs saying they wouldn't hand him over to The Hague, is that an indicator? Or the few hundred that showed their disapproval last night?
It is hard evaluate in both cases, I can testify what I have heard people say over and over again in Belgrade for the last 10 years, but not in Pakistan. I've heard a lot of Serbs say that Mladic is a hero (more than one would already count as a lot to me in this case, but this was hundreds). Even more Serbs have said that they think Maldic is an assassin but they don't recognize the ICC.
In Pakistan (and the middle East for that matter), my preferred source is a colleague I met in the late 90's whose opinions I generally trust: Robert Fisk. He is party of the western-media abstract entity you mention, surely, but so am I and as so I make clear distinctions between some western-media and other western media. But again, I never made a case Osama had substantial popular support everywhere. I suspect he doesn't. Just like Mladic nowadays.
So, this dude kills thousands of Muslims and he's a war criminal, and America's been in the business of killing Muslims for a few years now, why arent our former leaders up on charges in the Hague? Conversely, perversely, this guy only killed 8 thousand, the US is up to over 100,000 between irag and Afghanistan, is a European Muslim's life worth more than an Arab Muslim's life?
I know you know, but it's never too much to remember:
The US refused to sign the International Criminal Court agreement. Clinton chickened out, Bush slammed it, Obama is being diplomatic about it.
The US actually voted against the original treaty in 2000 together with China, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Qatar and Yemen.
Therefore your former leaders cannot be up on charges in The Hague. Funny considering they seem very resolved on sending alien nationals over.
I must take issue with the number of 51% wouldn't turn him in for any money. That poll was not formulated very well, as there was no option for "I would turn him in for no money", or something equivalent to that. It is entirely possible that many Serbs answered "No" as they did not think it would be moral to accept money for his arrest.
I'm visiting relatives in Holland right now. Yesterday we went on a road trip and visited the Hague, where I insisted on snapping a picture of Peace Palace, the main building of the International Criminal Court.
As we were driving by the prison near Scheveningen, there was a media frenzy outside the gate. It was then that the radio announced that Mladic had been caught and was on his way there. How nice: My first visit to the Hague, and justice is being prepared.
This is just part of a policy change in Serbia. Mladic is the price they pay. They want to become an EU member candidate before the Croats get in a position (i.e. membership) where they can block Serbia.
Serbia just serves Mladic's head on a plate to Lady Ashton (High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy) visiting there this week.
Wow, Leo Laporte's really let himself go.
Oh, and justice can not possibly be achieved. You'd have to do it 8000 times to the few hundred people that did the deed.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
Three lefts do.
Thanks Ms. TeÅ¡anović for being the one to post this. You might be interested to know there's show here in FoAM, the photo museum here in Amsterdam, called "Antiphotojournalism":
The ethnic cleansing in Bosnia is prominently featured in it, as do a set of soldiers' private photos, developed at some drugstore or photo lab.
Franjo Tudjman of Croatia ought to have shared a cell with Milosevic, but death by cancer is better than nothing.
I imagine someone got tired of their "Serbian hero" bragging about some atrocity or another, or his mobbed-up former comrades-in-arms hanging around enforcing local silence. "Keep the money, give it to Muslim widows and orphans, who cares, just get the fucker out of here."
Trying Mladic and throwing him in international jail for the rest of his life is the most a civilized world can do. But I'd happily pay for someone to install in his cell speakers and an iPod loaded with the vilest and cheesiest turbo-folk songs on endless replay.
Let's refrain from sesationalistic titles please. Gen. Mladić is without a doubt guilty of genocide in Srebrenica and other atrocities, but "God of Genocide" is a bit severe. Especially, in the context of 20th century history. Keep in mind that unballanced and inflamatory writing has helped lit a fuse of Bankan Powder Keg back in end of 1980ies. If it is to be respected, justice needs to be administerd soberly.
Just one more fact to put the mood of general Serbian population in perspective, far greather number of people gathered in Belgrade to protest against new city ordinance forbiding sale of alcohol after 10PM then for arrest of Gen. Mladić.
Ok, I am from Serbia and fan of BB. Now,
Most of us are thrilled that Mladic is arrested. Yes he killed 8000 Muslims, but along with that, people are questioning why wasn't anyone brought to justice for killing 3500 Serbs near Srebrenica (bratunac), just before massacre in Srebrenica. Muslims killed 3500 serbs, than serbs killed 8000 muslims on that place. It was savage war. But I think that everybody deserve justice.
War criminals have a built-in justification for their actions. In my journey to the Balkans in '97, many of the Serbs, Croats and Muslims I met expressed outrage over the crimes committed against their own ethnic group, but few would ever name any of their own as guilty.
In response to Croatian war atrocities President Franjo Tudjman personally told me that his own soldiers "could not control their feelings of revenge, their wishes to retaliate."
The day before I interviewed Tudjman, a deal was announced where ten Bosnian Croat war crimes suspects "voluntarily" surrender to The Hague. This announcement is followed by the release of a $40 million credit to Croatia by the IMF.
But where is the victims' share of that?
Those who receive no justice, seek revenge.
Well if he qualifies as a genocidalist for killing 8000 muslims, I guess Bush and Obama qualify since they killed half a million Iraqis " by accident "…. More Theatre…
Thanks for a fascinating post, but two objections:
"Nowadays the Serbs have grown indifferent to Mladic while actively resenting the European Union, whose economic disorders have made Serbian life miserable."
Let's be clear: Serbia's wars made Serbian life miserable. When you start wars against neighboring countries, you become a pariah. That's why the peoples of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Kosovo wanted no part of any union with Serbia.
"The mothers of Srebrenica victims declared themselves contented with this turn of events."
Not according to the accounts I've read. They are bitter because of the motivation behind the arrest, the intervening years, and the mess that is now Bosnia. Relatives of murder victims almost never experience closure (see A Grief Like No Other from the Atlantic Monthly, 1993), never mind all the other crimes.
You know, Mladic is a crazy, crazy, evil peasant idiot who suddenly found himself in a power position. There is no way this man should`ve been protected and hid by his fellow serbians (difference to serbs).
However!: the rest of the world has ludicrously found it`s scapegoat in the people of serbia. Most of them indifferent and/or opposed to the nationalist, fundamental, homophobe racist rants of the right wing and, as any person with common sense would be, ashamed by the evil deeds committed by men such as Mr Mladic.
After the Bosnia War, there is no-one who could claim to be less bad than the others. Rape, murder, sadism, pain, torture and mindless ongoing of atrocities were the daily program (Sarajevo is surrounded by mountains, and each ethnicity had one of it`s own. Snipers were placed onto those mountains and boy, were they busy. By all means: there is no was to recognise one`s ethnicity and religion through a sniper scope. But, nonetheless, shots were fired. The point here is that there were lots of drunk so-called soldiers on those mountains and had power over life and death of the bosnian citizens.)
Somewhere in the middle of the conflict, the international community had to decide who to help. Obviously. Not only did they not understand the nature of the conflict, but instead they used it for their own means. While the Russians always were very fond of the Serbs (same lettering, same christian variation to believe in…), the international community took the other side. The reason for this is still to be disclosed.
I (myself born in Sarajevo, aged 8 at the beginning of the war, none of the ethnicities in conflict) very strongly want to distance myself of saying "the serbs are innocent in this war" or "the serbs didn`t commit the deeds they are accused of". For that would be untrue. So would be "only the serbs are guilty" or "only serbs are to be accused and trialed".
The media echo to arrests of war criminals in the former Yugoslavia seems to vary quite a bit, depending on who`s arrested. A thing that I, personally, cannot comprehend. Cheers and talk of victory, revenge and joy as Karadzic and Mladic get arrested, while Ante Gotovina gets sentenced to 24 years, dutifully and quietly escorted to the penitentiary.
It is no surprise the Serbian polls show 51% of them wouldn`t have delivered Mladic. It is not only a homemade problem. This bullied, economically seen third-world scapegoat country has yet to recover from bombardments, the Kosovo-cut and ongoing media discreditation, without being further humiliated by Mr Obama and Mrs Merkel "The Serbian people did their duty and have made a significant step towards consideration to the EU." This is pure blind cynicism and has nothing to do with reality or objectivness. Croatia was taken into consideration long before Mr Gotovina was taken into custody.
Anyway. Good they got the monster. Ms Tesanovic, thanks fot the text. I rest my case.
Good job!
I still wonder what Zoran ÄinÄ'ić could have accomplished if he hadn't been assassinated. He seemed to be a Serbian politician with so much promise.
Amazing how a murderous scumbag like Mladic can look so much like Benny Hill. But then, Hitler copped Chaplin's mustache so maybe it all adds up.
There are a lot of mentions in the comments about the International Criminal Court in the Hague. However, we should all be aware that there is a separate court specifically for the former Yugoslavia. Ratko Mladic will be tried by the ICTY, The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. This is in the Hague, and it is an international criminal court, but not THE ICC. ICTY is an ad-hoc court, a court formed by the UN Security Council to address a specific need, like Yugoslavia, Sierra Leone, and Cambodia. The ICC is a separate treaty-based judicial body that will not try Ratko Mladic because there is already a court in place for that purpose. Both courts share the same prison in Scheviningen, The Hague, where Mladic will reside while his case is prosecuted.
As long as the free press doesn't associate 'men and boys' with either 'civilians' or 'soldiers'. Being a jew and my best friend and armenian, we are both grimly amused at how far the politically correct media and the ICTY will bend or ignore relevant information to get what they want, regardless of reality. The slaughter in the balkans which all four sides (yes, four, can you figure out which was the fourth side?) partook, pales into relative insignificance compared to the millions that have died because of direct western action. Still, they can sleep peacefully in their beds and feel good because the right kind of war criminal has been brought to justice.
Could you please provide a source for his proclaiming himself "God of genocide"?
When Kissinger, Bush Jr, etc, stand trial for war crimes, then we can talk about justice done. Not to mention Alija Izetbegovic and Naser Oric.
Curious how "we" only recognize sovereignty when it suits us. Kosovo independent? Sure, the poor poor Albanians! Serb Republic independent? No way, the brutal evil Serbs!
keep me informed on this guy, I'dlike to know what happens to him, thankyou !
Now they only need to catch George Bush and his crew who had a boner for Iraq and have killed over 100,000 people as a result, injured millions and traumatized tens of millions, to finally make this world a better place.
There are plenty more examples where that came from.
The USA currently holds the title of GOD OF GENOCIDE. Please retract your title about this amateur in comparison!
regarding the "God of Genocide" phrase:
When Ratko Mladic was giving orders to his soldiers he would say: consider that these orders come from God
Given that he ordered a genocide…
Ok, there are possiibly others qualified for this title, I agree, genocide is not monotheistic!
Thanks, Jasmina! Who was responsible for blowing up the Sarajevo library, in which almost all the Bosnian medieval texts had been collected? Was that Mladic?
Jasmina, you state above that Ratko Mladic is a 'self-proclaimed "God of genocide"'.
I cannot find any record of Ratko Mladic ever having referred to himself as such. In the interest of good journalism, can you please revise the sentence to be factually correct, or provide proof in this discussion that this event actually took place?
Of course, if Ratko Mladic did publicly call himself the 'God of genocide', then this upcoming trial in the Hague should turn out to be the shortest in history.
By BB standards, as of yesterday, your comment will be disemvoweled.
The old "two in the head" is cheaper, but I'm not a fan of governments being practical in that way.

Bright lights outshine Trans-Siberian Orchestra in ho-hum show
Taking on Christmas staples with a blend of symphonic bombast and progressive rock drama, Trans-Siberian Orchestra brought a much needed edge to the pleasant, ho-hum holiday music landscape beginning in 1996 , and in the process TSO has become one of the highest-grossing touring acts in North America.
But right before the start of the first of two TSO shows at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Sunday, there was a curious sound, or really a lack of a sound. Following some meek applause when the lights went dark, the crowd strangely grew quiet, to the point that the only noise was the awkward, quiet hiss of fog machines. »Read Full Article(14)

Pros and Cons of new anti-HIV vaginal gel
Could Anti-HIV Gel Actually Lead to Less Safe Sex?
The gel, used before sex, is intended for women who cannot convince their partners to use condoms, which, according to the UN, amounts to most women in the world. Critics say embracing such a gel as the solution cements the idea that a man has a right to condomless sex. In other words, huge amounts of money is going toward research simply to make sure men don't have to wear condoms, instead of focusing resources on teaching safe sex and changing social norms.
For more on the dilemma keep reading.
While the gel's original purpose does concede to men's desires, it has the potential to give women a way to take control of their sexual health. Men have condoms, why can't women have a gel? But it's not there yet. The gel is 39 percent effective in preventing HIV, while condoms are 98 percent with perfect use and 85 percent with typical use. So for now, at-risk women in dire situations will use the gel to increase their protection — and that's something to welcome.

What matter is that today that little boy lives on the other side of the planet, far away from his own hometown. In his quest to leave his mark he had seen so many wonders. And everything started with some photos.
That little boy still dwells in my heart and urges me towards change. So what I really want is to touch people lives with my work as Gregory's photographs did with me.

First came the "Wiggle," and now Zac Efron is getting his groove on to club smash "Turn Down for What."
In an Instagram video posted Tuesday (July 1), the "High School Musical" hottie does a choreographed dance to the Lil Jon and DJ Snake tune with his buddies Gianluca Vacchi and Youseff Giga.
Forming an unlikely friendship, Zac Efron and Michelle Rodriguez showed up in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, Italy last Wednesday (June 25).
The "High School Musical" stud and the "Fast & Furious" female both seemed to be in good spirits as they enjoyed their afternoon aboard a snazzy boat while shutterbugs snapped up pics.
Taking some time away from her busy career, Michelle Rodriguez scored a luxury yacht and went sailing on the coast of Sardinia, Italy today (June 27).
Joined by some friends, the "Fast and Furious" female donned a skimpy black bikini and began performing various daring jumps into the ocean while shutterbugs looked on.
Every year, amfAR caps off the Cannes International Film Festival with a celebrity-rich Cinema Against AIDS event, and on Thursday (May 22) it seemed like the A-list guests just kept filing in.
She revealed her bisexual status last October, and Michelle Rodriguez hopes her news inspires others to feel comfortable with their own sexual preferences.
During the LA Gay & Lesbian Center's annual An Evening with Women event last weekend, the "Fast & Furious" actress opened up about her decision to come out with Gay Star News.
Showing off her fit and trim figure, Michelle Rodriguez started off her weekend with a few sultry Instagram shots.
Posing on the set of "Fast & Furious 7," the 35-year-old actress rocked a tiny pink bikini and transitioned into a yoga headstand in front of one of the flick's super fancy rides.
Fulfilling her need for speed, Michelle Rodriguez attended the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on Sunday, followed by the after-party (March 16).
The "Fast & Furious" star wore a gray sweater, black knitted hat, and white pants as she checked out the Formula 1 race and later changed into a black and gold outfit.
Celebrating a long and crazy day, Cara Delevingne and Michelle Rodriguez partied hard at London's Chinawhite nightclub on Wednesday evening (March 5).

"I wanted to include details on our wedding but the mini cards were just too tiny. I thought the enclosure cards would be too large for the 3 lines we wanted to have on the card. Let me tell you, the weddingpaperdivas are some kind of genies :-) They re-worked this enclosure card for me several times until it was to my liking. There was no dead space like I feared there would be and the picture of us on the card make this such a neat little keepsake."
"Instead of a "direction" card I am using this as a "More Info" card to send out with my save the dates. It is the perfect size and I was able to put hotel information & wedding website on it, The designer was awesome to work with !"
"I thought this was the perfect card for a relationship that has gone on for quite a while. I used the wedding colors in the card. The direction card has some body to it which I think is good for folks who need the printed card."
"You can change whatever you need to on these invites. We changed the directions to information. And then just included information on where to book a place to stay and what restaurants where around. Plus it was a good way to provide activities for people to do and other little information."
"Our designer helped us with our response cards and invitations but did BY FAR the most work on the enclosure cards. She let us do front and back, organized everything so perfectly, and suggested different ways for us to lay everything out. I couldn't be more appreciative or happy with how they came out!"

A failed insulator on North Bridge Street knocked out power Friday to more than 500 customers, including a number of businesses.
The outage lasted from about 7:11 p.m. to about 10:30 p.m., said Vikki Michalski, a spokeswoman for AEP Ohio.
Insulators, which are found atop power poles, prevent energized wires from coming contact with each other or the pole itself.

Manuel Frutoz, 81, was found about 1 a.m. in the 1900 block of Saviers Road by an alert citizen, officials said.
Frutoz was returned to his family and appeared to be in good health, police said.
Frutoz was last seen about 8 a.m. Wednesday before he leaving the 1400 block of East First Street in an unknown direction with no known destination, police said. He was last seen wearing a black baseball hat, a striped sweater and beige pants.
He was also described as being 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 145 pounds, officials said.
He lives in Merced County and was visiting family members in Oxnard. This was apparently the second time Frutoz had gone missing in the Oxnard area, officials said.

Epilepsy is the third most common neurological disorder, after stroke and Alzheimer's, in the United States. Yet it is often presumed to be a rare disease. Those with epilepsy can often feel that, on top of living with seizures, misunderstanding "causes a stigma that makes life more difficult" and recount how, after suffering a seizure at work or school, they've experienced discrimination and social isolation.
Epilepsy affects some 2.7 million Americans (about 1 in 26) and some 50 million people around the world. In about 70 percent of cases of epilepsy, medication can help control seizures; in some cases, surgery can provide a "cure" by removing the source of seizures.
As November is Epilepsy Awareness Month, here are some other commonly held misconceptions about epilepsy.
1. People with epilepsy are mentally ill or possessed.
Photo via Wikimedia Commons.
The Ancient Greek medical writer Hippocrates called epilepsy the "sacred disease"; even today, some traditional cultures still see epilepsy as a kind of spirit possession. Epilepsy is now understood to be a chronic medical condition and an umbrella term for some 20 different seizure disorders. It is a disorder of the brain and it is not something you can catch; epilepsy is not contagious.
2. Someone having a seizure is in danger of swallowing their tongue.
They are not; it is impossible to swallow your tongue. Nothing, though, should ever go into a person's mouth during a seizure as biting down on something at such a time could cause serious dental trauma, contrary to Hollywood depictions of epilepsy. Neither, by the way, does anyone foam at the mouth when having a seizure.
When someone is having a seizure, they are unconscious and not in any pain. They may feel discomfort afterwards due to a fall, muscle aches or a bitter tongue.
3. Epilepsy affects intelligence.
Image via Wikimedia Commons.
People with epilepsy have the same level of intelligence as those without epilepsy. Frequent seizures may make learning more difficult and medications can have side effects such as excessive fatigue but epilepsy itself does not typically lower intelligence or affect people's ability to think. (Just ask Leonardo da Vinci, Sir Isaac Newton and Ludwig van Beethoven; they're just same noteworthy historical figures who had epilepsy).
4. Epilepsy is something you're born with.
Anyone can get epilepsy at any time in their life. Some are born with epilepsy (meaning that it is genetic), but you can also develop it as a result of head trauma, a brain tumor or lesion and stroke. The cause of epilepsy isn't known in 65 to 70 percent of cases.
5. Seizures happen all the time and involve convulsions.
Epilepsy affects each person differently. Seizures can occur frequently (even daily) for some individuals. Some people, thanks to medication, are able to manage their seizures while it's more difficult for others.
There are actually some 40 different types of seizures, of which convulsions are only one. Seizures can involve a blank stare, an involuntary movement, altered consciousness, a change in sensation or convulsions.
6. Seizures can be predicted.
Photo via Wikimedia Commons
The onset of a seizure can't yet be predicted. Some people have reported feeling a certain physical sensation prior to a seizure occurring. Some foods and sensations (flashing lights) have been thought to trigger seizures in some people.
More and more service dogs are being trained to detect the onset of a seizure. A seizure dog for a child can be trained to bark to alert family about a seizure happening. Dogs can also be trained to activate a pre-programmed device that sends out an alert.
7. People with epilepsy can't have jobs.
People with epilepsy are employed in all kinds of positions in business, government, medicine and many other fields. They can certainly hold high-pressure, demanding jobs including firefighting.
8. A seizure is a medical emergency.
Epilepsy is not a benign disease and uncontrollable seizures that keep occurring can be a serious health risk. Nonetheless, emergency medical attention isn't always required. Such attention should be sought under these circumstances, when
… a seizure lasts five minutes or longer or repeats one after another without the person regaining consciousness in-between; it is someone's first seizure; the person is injured during the seizure (through a fall, for example); the seizure happens in water; or the person is pregnant or has diabetes.
Women with epilepsy can get pregnant and have healthy, normal babies. As there is an increase in the risk of birth defects for women with epilepsy, it's crucial to work closely with a neurologist and obstetrician.
9. Only humans have epilepsy.
Epilepsy can occur in animals and has been identified in dogs and cats. Epilepsy in dogs is often inherited and may be higher in some breeds such as Belgian shepherds; it can be treated with medication (though this can lead to weight gain) and changes in diet and environment.
In cats, seizures are thought to be the result of previous damage to the brain. They can be treated with medication, but long term anticonvulsants can put unnecessary stress on a cat's liver. Consultation with a veterinarian is certainly called for as is careful monitoring. With proper and attentive care, epilepsy is a condition that humans and animals can learn to live with.

thanks for the article.
people should learn
I just recently learned that seizures can be caused by food intolerances. Who knew?
I am an epileptic and contrary to what your article implies-no one is willing to hire me because I have ongoing petit mal seizures and smoke medical marijuana. My memory is "shot" from either my meds or from the mini seizures. I often shake involuntarily and fall down quite often. People still treat epileptics with disdain and when I go out in public I have to make sure that my medical alert necklace is visible.
Epilepsy has been a stigmatized condition throughout human history because it appears mysterious to the uninformed. This article reminded me of a homeless man I knew (through my profession) who had no health insurance or source of income. His medication could be purchased for $4 or $5 a month, but he had no way to pay for it. As a result, he had seizures on the sidewalk and would hit his head on the pavement.The ambulance would arrive and take him to the hospital where he sometimes was held overnight for observation. Try to imagine what the cost was for that care as opposed to having a source of public funding to buy the medications, which he would have taken.
Situations like his are not uncommon. When we refuse to provide universal medical care, we not only endanger people in vulnerable situations, we increase the cost horribly. Our system of health care is penny-wise and pound foolish.
Good to know.
interesting, thank you
This is a good article, but it makes a mistake in saying that epilepsy is the 3rd most common neurological disorder, after stroke and Alzheimer's. While all these are serious disorders, migraine is far more common. It's much more common than any of these disorders.
And migraine is listed by the WHO as among the top ten most disabling medical conditions in existence. Yet there are so many misunderstandings about migraines too, in particular that it's "just a headache" that patients use to get an excuse to get out of things. So while epilepsy is often confused, how about doing an article on migraines too? They are much more common and prevent most of us from working during an attack, costing insane amounts of money to the economy!
If you'd like, I'll write that article for you, having learned all about migraines after my constant migraine completely disrupted my life!
Thanks for this information.

yesterday I finished the last or the fitness quick polls, and today started the motivation ones
What is the #1 goal I hope to accomplish this year? there were a number of fill in the blank choices and several are high on my list but number one has to be "lose weight and become more fit". Every day I am making choices that help me journey towards that goal, but deep in my heart I want to be firmly established in "100-ville" I have not been below 200 lbs since pre pregnancy- 28 years ago- and hold no delusions of ever being able to wear my wedding gown again.. every pound I get closeer to 200 I feel a spring in my step, I look for was to sit and stand talller, I feel more confident and energetic and I like who I see in the mirror. I dread visits from my sabotuer (mother) who can not stuff enough food in me face and does not accept the word no at any time- our visits are strained because of it- As an adult, my response to her now is, " unless my weight falls into the suboptimal bmi range she has no right to comment or critcize my diet and fitness choices", many of my weight and health issues are directly tied to habits learned as a child dependant on her choices.. Enough of my ramble and rant. May always sees my parents come for a weeklong visit at their conveniencs ( this year May happens to have 3 of my heaviest weeks of shift rotation) I'm already reinforcing my armour, and trying to remember that they won't alway enjoy health that allows them the freedom to travel. My journey to health is a choice that I make every day of the year

I do admire you, your spirit & your insight.
I believe your decision to allow your parents to visit when they chose is wise.
They will not always be available, so try to focus on their positive attributes.
Good luck.

Paranormal Activity 2 Discussion and Grading
Haven't seen a thread on this...probably because there are so few that are actually interested in the sequel. I saw the original (before the alterations) last year and absolutely loved it. I realize that these types of movies aren't for everyone and that they can either scare the shit out of you or make you bored to death and that seems to be the consensus of the first film.
So now a year later and becoming one of the most profitable films of all time, Demon Katie is back and haunting her family now. Some of you may remember that I originally was against this sequel, as a lover of the original film I consider Katie and Micha dead, the victims of a tragic unexplained incident. Hollywood though sees more money and a potential franchise they can muck around with.
I've seen most of the viral material online and the trailers have impressed me so far. Going to see this on Sunday afternoon. Anyone else planning on checking it out? Katie is back, it's a mystery so far how Micha factors into the movie but he is supposed to return as well. I'm actually pretty excied about the film.

if you're talking about the white of the xbox case, it's white not really off white. and if i were you i would use a white vinyl die
Posted 24 January 2008 - 11:07 PM
I can't say what specific paint to use, but for continuity's sake, I'd hit the white case with your white paint, as well as the HDD and extras.
It's going to be easeir than trying to achieve the exact same effect as the original plastic.

'Mars One' vows to defy fatwa by sending people to space
A space exploration company is planning to send four people on a one-way trip to Mars to fight against the fatwa issued by Islamic authorities which mentions that the trip was akin to suicide.
Bas Lansdorp, the co-founder and CEO of Mars One, has disagreed with the fatwa and cited that there is a long history of exploration and scientific learning in the Muslim world as well, Fox News reported.
He said that the Muslim world had a rich tradition of exploration for centuries and the mission to Mars is a road that has never been walked before.
Lansdorp added that his company would like to inform the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowment in the United Arab Emirates about elements of the Mars One mission that reduce the risk to human life as much as possible.
He claimed that the first settlers will be walking in the footsteps of Ibn Battuta, Marco Polo, Neil Armstrong or any of the other great explorers in history.
The GAIAE recently banned Muslims from participating in the mission and took the issue with Mars One's plan by calling it tantamount to suicide.
The fatwa said that such a one-way journey poses a real risk to life, and that can never be justified in Islam and there is a possibility that an individual who travels to Mars may not be able to remain alive there, and is more vulnerable to death.
