Queen Fabiola of Belgium (born Doña Fabiola de Mora y Aragón;[nb 1] 11 June 1928 – 5 December 2014) was the wife of Baudouin, King of the Belgians. She was Queen consort of the Belgians for 33 years, between her wedding in 1960 and her husband's death in 1993. The couple had no children, so the Crown then passed to her husband's younger brother, King Albert II.

Early life[edit]
Fabiola de Mora y Aragón was born in Madrid, Spain, at the Palacio Zurbano, the main residence of the Marqués de Casa Riera.[1] She was the sixth of seven children of Don Gonzalo de Mora y Fernández y Riera y del Olmo, 4th Marqués de Casa Riera, 2nd Count of Mora (1887–1957), and his wife, Doña Blanca de Aragón y Carrillo de Albornoz y Barroeta-Aldamar y Elío (1892–1981), daughter of the 6th Marchioness of Casa Torres[2] and Viscountess of Baiguer.[3] Her godmother was Queen Victoria Eugenia of Spain.[4]
Before her marriage she published an album of 12 fairy tales (Los doce cuentos maravillosos), one of which ("The Indian Water Lilies") would get its own pavilion in the Efteling theme park in 1966.[5]
On 15 December 1960, Fabiola married Baudouin, who had been King of the Belgians since the abdication of his father, Leopold III, in 1951.[6][7] At the marriage ceremony in the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula, she wore a 1926 Art Deco tiara that had been a gift of the Belgian state to her husband's mother, Astrid of Sweden, upon her marriage to Leopold III. Her dress of satin and ermine was designed by the couturier Cristóbal Balenciaga. Fabiola was a hospital nurse at the time of her engagement; TIME magazine, in its 26 September 1960, issue, called Doña Fabiola the "Cinderella Girl" and described her as "an attractive young woman, though no raving beauty" and "the girl who could not catch a man."[8] On the occasion of her marriage, Spanish bakers set out to honour Fabiola and created a type of bread, "la fabiola", which is still made and consumed daily in many Spanish cities.
The explorer Guido Derom named the Queen Fabiola Mountains – a newly discovered range of Antarctic mountains – in her honour in 1961.[9] She also has several varieties of ornamental plants named after her.
The royal couple had no children, as the Queen's five pregnancies ended in miscarriage. There are reports, however, that she had a stillborn child in the mid 1960s. Fabiola openly spoke about her miscarriages in 2008: 'You know, I myself lost five children. You learn something from that experience. I had problems with all my pregnancies, but you know, in the end I think life is beautiful'.[10]
Queen dowager[edit]
Baudouin died in late July 1993 and was succeeded by his younger brother, Albert II. Fabiola moved out of the Royal Palace of Laeken to the more modest Stuyvenberg Castle and reduced her public appearances so as not to overshadow her sister-in-law, Queen Paola.
Admired for her devout Roman Catholicism and involvement in social causes particularly those related to mental health, children's issues and women's issues,[11] Queen Fabiola received the 2001 Ceres Medal, in recognition of her work to promote rural women in developing countries. The medal was given by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). She was also honorary president of the King Baudouin Foundation.
Health issues[edit]
Queen Fabiola was hospitalised for 15 days with pneumonia beginning 16 January 2009, with her condition described as "serious".[12] She subsequently recovered and began attending public functions the following May. In July 2009, the Belgian press published news of anonymous death threats she received stating she would be shot with a crossbow. She responded to the threats during Belgian National Day celebrations by waving an apple to the crowd in a reference to the William Tell folk tale.[13] Subsequent threats by an individual said to have a similar signature to the July 2009 threat-writer were received again in January 2010.[14]
Tax avoidance claims[edit]
In January 2013, Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo criticised Queen Fabiola for her plans to set up a private foundation (Fons Pereos), which was widely seen by the public as inheritance tax evasion (although, since the construction was admitted by Di Rupo to be legal, it would more precisely be a case of tax avoidance). The Queen denied the charges, claiming that the funds used were "her private money", and that most of her annual public stipend was used for housekeeping and staff wages.[15][16]
Linguistic skills[edit]
According to official sources, Queen Fabiola was fluent in French, Dutch, English, German and Italian, in addition to her native Spanish.[17]
Illness and death[edit]
Queen Fabiola had been in poor health for years, suffering from osteoporosis, as well as having never fully recovered from a lung inflammation she had in 2009. On the evening of 5 December 2014, the Royal Palace announced that Queen Fabiola had died at Stuyvenberg Castle.[18]
The federal government declared a period of national mourning from Saturday 6 December to Friday 12 December, the day when the funeral of Queen Fabiola took place at the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula in Brussels.[19]
The Royal Family, members of the government and the Lord Speaker received the coffin at the Royal Palace on 10 December where it was placed in the grand antechamber, where it was decorated with flowers and attended by an honour guard of generals, members of the King's Royal Military household.[20] Godfried Cardinal Danneels, Metropolitan Archbishop-emeritus of Mechelen-Brussels, celebrated the Requiem Mass.
Members of several royal families around the world including the Empress of Japan, Queen of Denmark, King and Queen of Sweden, King of Norway accompanied by his sister Princess Astrid, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain, Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands, Sovereign Prince of Liechtenstein and Empress Farah of Iran, attended the funeral. No members of the British Royal Family or the Monegasque Princely Family attended the funeral, leading to criticism by both Belgian and international press.[21][22]

Gmail Outage Disrupts Working Day
Google's Gmail service went down Tuesday morning – a widespread outage that affected businesses and consumers and follows a few more minor blackouts in recent months.
The outage began about 4:30 EST–which is 9:30 a.m. in London–and lasted roughly two and a half hours, according to the company. Acacio Cruz, Gmail site reliability manager, in a blog post called it an "unusual occurrence" and said Google engineers are "still investigating the root cause of the problem."
But the disruption was ill-timed, particularly for business users.
"We know that for many of you this disrupted your working day," wrote Mr. Cruz. "We're really sorry about this, and we did do everything to restore access as soon as we could."
Google, of course, is trying to lure business users over to Gmail and its other software applications, as it tries to challenge Microsoft's dominance in the business software industry.
The blackout will do little to assuage companies' concerns about the reliability of Web-based software. Google, Microsoft, Amazon and others all tout the benefits of running software remotely but incidents like today could cause businesses to sit on the sidelines longer.
But Gmail has plenty of momentum. It is the fourth most popular Web email service in the U.S., according to comScore, with 31 million unique U.S. users in January. That's roughly a third the size of Yahoo's service and behind Microsoft's Windows Live Hotmail and AOL. But Gmail is by far the fastest-growing of the bunch – growing 54% from January 2008 to January 2009, five times' Yahoo's growth rate.
Update: Later Tuesday, Google moved to placate businesses irked by the outage by offering customers who pay for an enhanced version of Gmail 15 free days of service.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Mar 01st, 2002
Running Time: 74
Director: David Stanley
Company: Vivid Entertainment Group
Cast: Dasha (I), Nikita Denise, Jewel, Cheyenne Silver, April (I), Eric Masterson, Cheyne Collins
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Feature
A perfect companion for Morning Star - for very secure couples.
The flip side of Morning Star (reviewed last month) Perfect Couple focuses on Dasha's husband Cheyne Collins and what happened in his life when Dasha split. He jerks off to g/g action on the cable teevee while noshing on potato chips and Fig Newtons, for starters. After he gets Dasha's Dear John phone message, Collins gets a get-over-her pep-talk by buddy Eric Masterson, who tells him chatting up girls in a bar is "better than a kick in the nuts," and the first girl he meets gives him a chance to road-test that theory, with breaking-glass sound effects. In the men's john, when Collins espies Cheyenne Silver milking Lee Stone in a stall, he imagines - or maybe remembers - himself and Dasha similarly engaged. After an altercation with Stone, he wakes up face to face with Silver, who spent the night with Masterson and fucks him again on Collins' bed ("Hi!"), driving him out of the room. After a dinner/food fight with Masterson and Silver that looks like it's going to turn into a threeway, Collins takes off. When he reflects, "I don't want to be alone," to Silver, she reassures him, "You're not alone," and they do the horizontal.
The vid ends, like Morning Star, with Dasha's return. She's ready to come back - but Collins is reluctant to have her. He leaves Dasha and goes to be with Silver, with not-exactly-predictable-but-true-to-the-story results.
Stanley shows his mastery of storytelling again, dropping small hints that explode into story points later in the telling. Pre-nom for script and direction for the Morning Star/Perfect Couple one-two punch. Eric Masterson, pre-nom for Supporting Actor. Six sex scenes add value for the number-crunchers.

Rajoy Warns of Catalan EU Exclusion as Mas's Party Dips in Polls
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said that a vote for Catalan independence risked excluding the region from the European Union, as polls showed a decline in support for Catalonia's ruling party before Nov. 25 elections.
Rajoy, speaking during a meeting of his People's Party in the Catalonian city of Girona today, said that calling an early election in the region was a "mistake" that had wasted time and energy better invested in fighting Spain's recession. He reiterated his warning that a push for Catalan sovereignty jeopardized the region's membership of the EU as part of Spain.
"Today it is in Europe because it is in Spain, and it benefits from Europe as the rest of Spain does, and it contributes to Europe as the rest of Spain does," Rajoy told PP supporters and members in Girona. While his party has an absolute majority in parliament, Rajoy has said he doesn't have the power to call a referendum on Catalonia's independence.
Catalonia, the first contributor to Spain's economy as well as its most indebted area, is at the forefront of a resurgent push for regional autonomy in Europe as the debt crisis frays the ties that bind the regions to their constituent states.
Rajoy's warning on losing the benefits of EU membership echoes comments made by U.K. government officials and those opposed to Scottish independence before a referendum on Scots self-determination scheduled for the fall of 2014. Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond has said that he is seeking legal advice on future Scottish membership of the European Union.
Girding Mas
Catalan President Artur Mas called early elections after Rajoy rejected a request to let Catalonia have full control of the taxes it collects. Mas, who doesn't have an absolute majority in the regional parliament in Barcelona, is aiming for a strong show of support in the ballot to gird his hand for negotiations on independence with Rajoy.
Separate polls published today by the newspapers El Mundo and El Pais suggested that Mas's CiU party might not surpass its result at the 2010 election, with a projected 62 or 63 seats in the regional parliament, one more at best than it has now.
Mas's CiU has 37.3 percent support, according to El Pais, and 36.6 percent in El Mundo's poll. That compared with 40.9 percent in a poll for La Vanguardia published on Oct. 28.
The ruling CiU party has said that strong support on Nov. 25 will force the Spanish government and the European Commission to revise their positions about new states having to leave the union and reapply for membership. Even so, commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said yesterday its position on territories that secede from member states hasn't changed.
Market Access
Mas would consider pursuing autonomy even if an independent Catalan state were to be denied EU membership, his chief of staff, Joan Vidal de Ciurana, said in a Bloomberg Television interview on Nov. 13. Catalonia wouldn't need Spain's Treasury for funding if it had "the possibility to become a state and to negotiate directly with the markets," he said.
Rajoy, speaking in Girona, said the central government will continue to provide Catalonia with liquidity. Catalonia's bonds are judged non-investment grade by at least one rating company, while the Spanish treasury itself is on the brink of junk. Catalonia and Spain depend on each other, Rajoy said.

In addition, all pages seem to work fine.

Mersey Docks and Harbour Company
Coordinates: 53°28′1″N 3°1′12.5″W / 53.46694°N 3.020139°W
The Mersey Docks and Harbour Company (MDHC), formerly the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board (MDHB), owns and administers the dock facilities of the Port of Liverpool, on the River Mersey, England. These include the operation of the enclosed northern dock system that runs from Princes Dock to Seaforth Dock, in the city of Liverpool and the dock facilities built around the Great Float of the Wirral Peninsula, located on the west side of the river.[1]
Peel Ports, the MDHC's parent company, owns other maritime facilities in the area, including the Cammell Laird shipyard, Tranmere Oil Terminal and the Manchester Ship Canal.[1][2]
Liverpool Town Council's Dock Committee was the original port authority.[3][4] In 1709 it had been authorised to construct Liverpool's first enclosed ship basin, the Old Dock, which was the world's first commercial wet dock.[5] By 1750 the old Dock Committee was replaced by the Liverpool Dock Trustees.[6] In order to provide stone for the construction of the expanded dock system, from 1830 the Trustees (and later the MDHB) operated large quarries at Creetown, Scotland.[7]
The Mersey Docks and Harbour Board took over running of Liverpool's docks from the trustees in 1858. The need for Liverpool Corporation to divest its dock interests to a new public body was as a result of pressure from parliament, dock merchants and some rival port operators.[3][4][6]
At one point the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board railway totalled 104 miles (166 km) of line, with connections to many other railways. A section of the line ran, unsegregated from other road traffic, along the dock road. Today only the Canada Dock Branch is used.
In 1972 the Board was reconstituted as a company to allow it to raise money for new building initiatives and projects, including the new container dock at Seaforth.
The MDHC was accused of "macho management" by the Financial Times regarding its treatment of some its staff in the 1990s, which resulted in Liverpool Dockers' Strike.
On 22 September 2005 MDHC was acquired by Peel Ports, part of the property and transport group Peel Holdings, which owns a minority stake in Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
Cammell Laird Dock is a dock at Birkenhead, on the Wirral Peninsula. It exits directly onto the River Mersey.
The dock was built as part of an expansion of the Cammell Laird shipyard at the turn of the 20th century by enclosing what was once Tranmere Pool.[8]
Following the closure of the original Cammell Laird shipyard in 1993, the dock and the four remaining dry docks at the site are owned by the MDHC. All were subsequently leased, firstly to the A&P Group and then to Northwestern Shiprepairers & Shipbuilders, which officially renamed itself Cammell Laird Shiprepairers and Shipbuilders Ltd on 17 November 2008.[9]

From Our Editors
One moment, Dr. Coleman was standing tall on the lake's water, balancing on wooden skis as water splayed behind him like a rooster tail. The next moment, he crashed headfirst into the water, cracking his front teeth on the way down. It wasn't until four years later that Dr. Coleman regained his smile, an experience that left him yearning to study dentistry.
Now at the helm of Coleman Dentistry, Dr. Coleman works hard to pass on that feeling of being able to grin with confidence in a comfortable environment. Slight bubbling sounds drift from a hanging fountain in the waiting room, inducing daydreams of faraway lagoons or scuba divers singing Frank Sinatra. During appointments, patients sink into a heated massage chair, swaddle themselves in warm blankets, or watch flat-screen TVs inside the treatment room. Other perks include dark sunglasses, earplugs, and afternoon wines to cap off clean bills of dental health.

Released: Sep 01st, 1992
Running Time: 87
Director: Jack Wolfe
Company: Western Visuals
Cast: Bob Verna, Ron Jeremy, Peter North, Persia, P.J. Sparxx, Charisma (I), Ona Zee, Tony Tedeschi
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Uh-oh; when lovers Ona Zee and Tony Tedeschi can't quite syncopate in bed, it's time for that ol' sex clinic to come to the rescue. Bob Verna is The Doc and P.J. Sparxx is his assistant (and the all-around sex surrogate), and between his "art therapy" and her hot bod, relationships get sorted out within the required time, though not everybody goes home with the person they brought.
There are actually six sex scenes in this largely wraparound style tape. The best are both of P.J.'s encounters; first in a hot tub with Ona (watch the sun set between scene changes!), then among the wine casks with Peter North. Sparxx has a look of concentration during her better scenes that rivals that of Ashlyn Gere. Ona (with an anal scene) and Charisma (with Peter in front of the fireplace) are tied for second place here, with Persia and Ron Jeremy's anal bring up the rear, so to speak. This is a hot tape, well worth a look.

About Trayvon Martin
(Reposted from: http://davidmogolov.com/mogolog/)
My apologies if I'm saying nothing new. This is a moment when it seems like saying nothing is worse than saying something repetitive. I don't think I could maintain my self-respect if I didn't speak up. I don't think I could be content with complicity by silence. I know words aren't action, but I've never known what I think until I've tried to write it. I'm just trying to tell you what I think.
In 35 years, I've never had to justify my presence on a street. When I've made eye contact with a police officer they've said hello, nodded, or ignored me. When I've been in a space that is ostensibly somebody else's, they've never suggested they were afraid of me. Part of this, surely, is that I'm not an intimidating guy. But a larger part of it, the part I don't think about it, is that I'm a white man. I'm the person society is built for: I'm "normal."
I first came to realize this the summer before my last year of college. I lived in a crappy apartment on a busy street in a moderately dingy neighborhood. I came and went as I pleased. I worked late hours sometimes, drank at parties late, stumbled in late. I treated my neighborhood like it was my neighborhood, and that was that.
One of my roommates was Hispanic. Alex had grown up in suburban Maryland. He treated the neighborhood just as I did. If anything, he had more freedom of movement because he had a car and I didn't. One night, we had a party, and a female friend of ours asked for a walk home and he took her. There'd been reports of sexual assaults, not the sort of thing Alex and I had to think of, but to be asked for a walk home was a no brainer: of course he escorted her home.
After seeing her home, he walked back. This was maybe four blocks away. On his way home he was stopped by the police, pressed roughly against a wall, frisked, accused, denigrated, and sent on his way. It was the first time in his life, he said. I write about this with a certain sheltered horror because I still haven't had a first time and never will. But I knew Alex. I knew his harmlessness and goodness and the fact that he was just walking someone home to prevent a crime or at least make someone feel safer. He was pressed against a wall like a criminal for being brownish. There is absolutely no other explanation.
My senior year of college, I took a one-time yearlong seminar offered in collaboration between the Departments of Philosophy and Economics at Boston University, with the Institute on Race and Social Division. For a year, we read intensively in ethics, history, economics, sociology, and theology. We read Immanuel Kant and David Hume and Adam Smith and John Rawls and Charles Tilly and Charles Johnson and Amartya Sen. We read papal encyclicals and magazine editorials and contemporary economic analyses. We got to talk with scholars like Cass Sunstein and Kwame Anthony Appiah and Henry Louis Gates. We read libertarians and liberals and conservatives. I wrote papers on The Road to Serfdom and The Racial Contract . We were not told what to believe. We argued. We argued endlessly.
I don't write that paragraph to say "I KNOW THINGS ABOUT THIS." I write it to say that at the end of all that reading all I know is that I don't know very much and that I want to read more. I've kept reading. I've tried to piece it all together. Each book remakes me in a way. I'm reading The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson right now and it's remaking me again (this book is astounding, and gorgeously written).
For professional reasons I pay a lot of attention to the fate of higher education in America, and right now there's intense pressure to measure a college experience by what it produces in terms of employment, but I can say, despite my professional success, that the major benefit of my college education was what it produced in terms of citizenship. I am a better observer and participant in our society as a result of what I learned in college, and I'm wary of an our impulse to make education a tool for commercial efficiency. We read much about the death of the humanities (well, people in the humanities do, while others read business journals, I suppose), and I wonder where the stories are of experiences like mine. My education through that single seminar introduced me to entire streams of thought I'd have never known, and I wouldn't trade any of it for a degree that netted me $15,000 more per year. I know my world more clearly and I better know the scope of my ignorance, and that is worth a tremendous amount more than what I've had gained with a Quickbooks course (note to self: take a Quickbooks course).
Today on my way home, I heard a legal expert on the radio saying that the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case was not about race. George Zimmerman, he said, is of mixed race. George Zimmerman's mother is Hispanic. George Zimmerman's grandmother was African. This is what the expert said. He said this as if George Zimmerman's particular racial beliefs are what have troubled people. He said this as if he didn't understand that what's really at stake here is something far larger than George Zimmerman. He said this as if, 150 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, almost 50 years after the Voting Rights Act, and 5 years after the election of an African American President, this trial didn't suggest that our laws continue to protect white life from black life.
I don't dispute the courtroom outcome: based on the law and our legal standards, there is reasonable doubt. George Zimmerman may have acted in self defense, narrowly defined.
But if the defense's argument is true, that he acted in self defense, he was only in danger because of a situation he created, based on his assumptions about a harmless teenager. I have yet to hear a credible argument that the dispute that led to Trayvon Martin's death wasn't based wholly, and I mean 100%, on his being a black man. Not even a man. Not legally. If he were white, that legal distinction would matter. A 17 year old white victim is a child, after all, his whole life ahead of him. But Trayvon Martin, 17, was suspicious.
I'm not saying anything new. I know I'm not.
There are people who read this (and let's be real, they probably said "TL;DR" and moved on) and say, "This is dumb liberal guilt." And you know what? They're right, to some extent. I feel guilty. I feel guilty for being able to do everything that Trayvon Martin couldn't and never will be able to. I feel a bit of survivor's guilt because this world is sculpted and maintained to protect me, to protect me from him. So yes, it's liberal guilt. But it's not dumb. I feel this guilt because I've done the work to know that I should.
What do you do with guilt? What do you do when you know the house is dealing you a winning hand, even if it's only 51% of the time? What do you do about the fact that you live in the suburbs in relative safety from the horror of the daily existence of the violence that defines the life of a huge swath of the population of the most prosperous, scientifically and medically advanced society that has ever existed on this planet? What do you do about the fact that you could easily just shut up and go about your business and never have to think about any of this because you personally have never shot a black boy?
What do you do with the knowledge that things are getting worse, not better, but in ways that hardly impact you at all?
What do you do with the knowledge that parents in Florida, about to send a son off to college and a lifetime of opportunity are instead mourning his murder, when your own kids are safe in bed upstairs and will never in their lives face a neighborhood watch that demands to know why they are who they are where they are?
What do you do?
That last question isn't rhetorical. Despite my reading and my relative certainty about what's wrong, I haven't the slightest notion of what a person is to do right now. I've seen many well-intended but vague statements about working for change and examining oneself, and while I appreciate them, they seem short of the mark.
Ultimately, a young black man was lynched in the 21st Century in the United States of America. If you don't believe that's the fact, I assure you it's at the very least the perception. Our long movement as a country away from the original sin of slavery is real but it is not over. We have durable and pernicious inequality in this country, and the response to that ought to be more than to examine oneself.
But I don't know what it is. Perhaps my reading is incomplete. I want to do something more than feel guilt. I want to do more than wish my black friends' children the best. But I'm at a loss right now. I know what I believe, but I can't see the path forward.
I hope somebody out there has a good suggestion, and I hope it's bigger than a response to George Zimmerman.

■ CONVICTED COP KILLERS UP for parole review
I remember this way too well. We were sitting at my parents' home Christmas night, watching TV, when they broke in with a news bulletin about this shooting, and none of us could believe it then. Once they moved the trials to Galveston, I got to fly down for a day with my husband, who was covering them for KFDA. These guys weren't remorseful the night it happened. They weren't remorseful at the trial in Galveston. And I bet they still aren't remorseful ... Parole? No. hope they never see the light of day again, and the best thing is they sure won't ever be seeing Officer McGuire again where they'll be going.
I worked at municipal court and knew the officer (and we shared a birthday, so every May 18 and Christmas Day I remember) and know what happened. Those brothers came to Amarillo to kill a cop. They should have been sentenced to death, but since (they were) only sentenced to life — that is what they should serve.
Aletha Sawyer
I remember this very well. These men showed no mercy to Berry Joe McGuire. They're cop killers and should have been executed!
Joe Simmons
First of all, you guys only know ... the press releases. You are nobody to judge them. Had that been you in their position, you might have reacted the same way!
Brenda Yanez Garcia
They got life sentences ... let them all live in prison until they die. That's what life means to me!
■ POTTER COUNTY SEIZES $5K, pills after domestic dispute
I have a legit job, and I'm barely making ends meet. I'm good to my wife and kids and stay out of trouble, but I'm broke. You know what I could do with that kind of $$$? Make my family happy, but I'm not a lowlife drug pusher. Guess I'll stay broke and out of jail.
Mark-Ashley Dallas
■ NCAA TO BEGIN paying college athletes?
Why not? They make a ton of money off of them. And don't give me "they get a free education." It costs the universities very little in the grand scheme of things to give an athlete a scholarship. And they make millions off of their athletic programs from sponsorships and merchandise sales.
Justin Phillips
■ LETTER: THANKS FOR honesty of my newspaper carrier
Good story, and this just goes to prove that there are honest people that walk amongst us.
Yes, or her paper carrier didn't have her PIN number! Just kidding. This is a good story and a nice change from all the other news!

A question tag, also called a tag question, is an interrogative fragment added to the end of a declarative or imperative sentence.
A question tag, also called a tag question or tail question, is a grammatical structure in which a declarative statement or an imperative is turned into a question by adding an interrogative fragment (the "tag"). For example, in the sentence "You're John, aren't you?", the statement "You're John" is turned into a question by the tag "aren't you". The term "question tag" is generally preferred by British grammarians, while their American counterparts prefer "tag question".

Top 10 Moments in Sitting
February 28, 2011 | Lists
Sitting on one's arse for a living is no longer the sole domain of philosophers and drumstick-gnawing kings. More people than ever are doing jobs that involve minimal physical effort – hell, even the sweatshop workers stitching up a chain store's fall line get chairs these days. This isn't all positive, however, as a slothful lifestyle will kill you faster than taking "what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger" to heart. Willing your body to gelatin with a sedentary lifestyle will shave years off your life and if you smoke while sitting down, the strain of jumping up in shock at just how unhealthy that is might kill you, so we won't elaborate.
While sitting around all day has been responsible for the early delivery of many couch potatoes to the bone yard, some major accomplishments have been made while folks were seated. Some of the great declarations were signed and some of the great poker hands dealt while people were sitting, and in the spiritual realm yogic fliers have proven that dragging yourself across a hardwood floor isn't just for pets with worms.
Sitting also brings moments of great clarity: enlightenment through meditation, a brilliant idea on the crapper or remembering that key bit of evidence guaranteed to exonerate you right before the warden throws the switch for the electric chair. Here we're focusing on 10 feats involving sitting that— like missionary sex with a devout Christian—could not have occurred in any other position.
10) Stadium Sitting World Record:
We have been known to occupy more than one seat at a concert – in succession, not due to chronic obesity. Grabbing a cheap nosebleed seat next to a guy who'd suffer cardiac arrest during an impromptu bass solo if he sat any closer – is a great means to scan for vacant spots, which can be had once stadium security is busy shaking a teenager upside down for his stash. Briton Terry Twining set a world record for changing seats by touching down on 40,040 of them in a Belgian soccer stadium over a 48-hour hemorrhoid-inducing episode to raise money for a charity. As oddly impressive a feat as this was, it should be noted that the stadium was empty of all flare-setting opposing fan-stomping hooligans at the time, otherwise we would've given him the top slot on this list.
Although we get as much exercise as the right to vote in a fascist state, our native land of Canada has produced many fine athletes. Among our ranks is a champion of a competitive sport for which chronic unemployment would be considered an ideal training regimen: watching TV. Torontonian Suresh Joachim watched TV for 69 hours and 48 minutes on "Live with Regis and Kelly"— 'on' Regis and Kelly, not 'of', which would've no doubt required a Quaker's commitment to curbing violent impulses. During this retinal pummeling feat, he was given 15 minute breaks every eight hours to apply eye drops, vacate his bowels and pray for another writers' strike. (Associated Press September 2005)
8) Most People in One Chair:
We were horrified when we heard that 722 school kids set a world record for the most people sitting in one chair, imagining the 488 or so who would have been crushed in such an undertaking. As it happens they took turns sitting on the chair, breaking the record in less than 90 seconds. Skeptics might point out that this exploit could be bested any time with a shopping mall Santa, a stopwatch and Ritalin withdrawal. (Community Free Press Missouri September 2007)
7) Collapsing Toilets Research Wins Prize:
Like the real Nobel Prize, the 'Ig Nobels' honor scientific experiments, however they're for "those that cannot, or should not, be reproduced", like, we imagine, genetically engineering a chicken that can peck out the notes to the Battle Hymn of the Republic on its cage. In 2000, the Ig Nobel for Public Health was awarded to Scottish researchers who studied injuries sustained from collapsing toilets. What they found was that far from pre-bout sumo wrestlers stopping by for a bowel movement, most of these incidents were because the pulverized porcelain was old. The doctors suggested caution for those with older commodes and offered advice that would apply just as well in the bush: "An obvious way of using a toilet without fear of collapse is…not to sit down, but to adopt a hovering stance."
6) David Blaine Airborne in Box:
In 2003 "endurance artist" David Blaine subsisted solely on water for 44 days, sitting inside a Plexiglas case above the Thames (which would've been far more enjoyable if this stunt incorporated elements of the state-fair dunk tank) wowing the few onlookers who weren't preoccupied hurling anything they could get their hands on at him. Blaine showed that there aren't many benefits to such extreme asceticism unless you're impressing the gods or a ballet teacher.
5) Saint Simeon Stylites, a Pillar of the Community:
Long before David Blaine hoisted himself aloft, this Syrian 'Pillar Saint' spent 37 years atop a pillar with a heavy iron collar around his neck to show his devotion and expedite beatification paperwork. People apparently climbed up the pillar daily to bring him food and ask his advice, which was no doubt quite insightful coming from a lunatic who had spent the past three decades 15 meters above civilization.
4) Snakes in a Tub:
Stretching out in the bath with a good book or a good person (the type not prone to reaching for electronics at the height of an in-tub argument) is one of the luxuries of life available to regular folks. All you need is some bubbly, glasses, and the ability to rouse yourself if you're alone and pass out drunk. That's on the more pleasant side of the spectrum of bathing for reasons other than strictly cleanliness or doing the dishes in a small apartment. Then we have Jackie Bibby, the aptly named Texas Snake Man, who, cowboy hat topping his dome, sat in a bathtub with 87 snakes for 45 minutes. Either of us would have taken the challenge had the tub been filled with water that the snakes had been held under for a few days, but the tub was dry and they were all alive and poisonous. Bibby wasn't bitten – despite his name going so well with the past tense of that verb.
3) Most Tattoos Given in 24 Hours:
Tattooing, like invasive surgery, is not something you would want to rush, lest your back ends up resembling what Jackson Pollock might have cleaned up off the floor. The current record for most tattoos given by someone in a 24-hour period is for a star, appropriately needled under the dermis in the Lone Star state 726 times (luckily, to 726 different people). We say "current", as this is an accomplishment many are trying to best. Just imagine how silly you'd feel if you got one of these record-setting etchings, just in time for an artist less sensitive to caffeine-induced tremors to come along and top it. (Guinness Book of Records 2009)
2) Record Lawn Mower Ride:
The responsibility of having to regularly mow a lawn is enough to make anyone, even those who don't break into hives at the mere sight of anything green and outdoors, want to permanently live in an apartment. The sound of some inconsiderate prick starting up his lawnmower bright and early on a Saturday morning while you're trying to sleep off what initially put you face down in said lawn the night before is enough to justify voluntary manslaughter. Many lawnmowers are pieces of junk that take numerous pulls and countless expletives to start, while others, like the ones you sit on, provide a leisurely few hours of inhaling fumes before your freehold resembles a putting green. Why anyone would want to sit on one of these for longer than it would take to polish off a few beers and let a gust of wind take care of the rest is beyond us, though not one Gary Hatter, who started in Maine, in May 2000 and passed through all 48 continuous US states as well as Canada and Mexico in a 23,487.5 km record setting riding mower journey. (Guinness Records 2009)
1) Please, Don't Play it Again, Sam:
Thankfully, it's unusual to be subjected to a lengthy recital on the piano, especially if you steer clear of hotel bars, where a chanteuse draped over one might momentarily divert attention away from coercing a guest who isn't your wife upstairs. Unless the fruit of your loins is up there letting you judge whether the money spent on piano lessons could have been better spent on classes for the tone deaf, it's unlikely that you'd ever have to endure two hours of different versions of "Chopsticks", to the point you'd want to stick a couple in your ears. A 28-hour piano recital sounds like something reserved for a cocktail lounge in one of the more sinful circles of Dante's hell, but that's just how long a Canadian pianist went, with a 300-piece repertoire. (ABC News May 2009)

Moyes admits relief as O'Neill groans: We should have been out of sight
Everton manager David Moyes admitted he did not think he would mark his 400th Premier League match with a victory but was not surprised by side's late turnaround.
Trailing to Sunderland winger Adam Johnson's first goal for the club on the stroke of half-time the Toffees struck twice in quick succession through Marouane Fellaini and Nikica Jelavic to clinch three points with 11 minutes to go.
Topsy-turvy: Nikica Jelavic celebrates as Everton dumped the game on its head to delight the home fans
Back on track: Marouane Fellaini equalises for Everton to start the turnaround
Everton: Howard, Coleman, Jagielka, Heitinga, Baines, Mirallas (Naismith 30), Osman, Neville (Vellios 73), Pienaar, Fellaini, Jelavic (Hitzlsperger 86).
Subs not used: Mucha, Oviedo, Distin, Gueye.
Booked: Heitinga
Goals: Fellaini 76, Jelavic 79
Sunderland: Mignolet, Gardner, O'Shea, Cuellar, Rose, Johnson (Vaughan 84), Larsson, Colback (Wickham 88), McClean, Fletcher (Saha 69), Sessegnon.
Subs: Westwood, McFadden, Kilgallon, Bramble.
Booked: Rose, Gardner, Vaughan
Goal: Johnson 45
Att: 35,999
Referee: Lee Mason (Lancashire)
It was Everton's first win in five
matches, keeping them in the top four, and ensured Moyes could end a
landmark game with a smile.
'I thought it was going to be one of
those days. It didn't look as if it was coming,' said the Scot. 'I
thought it looked like a 1-0 to Sunderland - but that was not for us not
trying to keep knocking at the door.
'In the end I think we got what we deserved because we kept at it.
'I thought we played quite well in the first half but found ourselves a goal down and a bit fortunate not to be two down.
'If that had been the case you would have to have said that was unjust.
'We didn't deserve that with our possession, we just hadn't created any clear-cut chances from our good play.
'We needed something because
Sunderland had the third-best defensive record in the Premier League and
they had showed that resilience and made it hard for us to score.
'I thought we kept going and the players showed great character to come from a goal behind.
'Maybe the amount of pressure we had told a little bit.'
Breakthrough: Adam Johnson celebrates opening the deadlock for Sunderland
Keeping it up: Tim Howard saw his side maintain their excellent record over Sunderland
Diving in: Steven Naismith tries to drag the ball away from the sliding Jack Colback
Sunderland were eventually unpicked
by the vision of Leon Osman and Fellaini. Osman, who received his first
England call-up at the age of 31 this week, twice linked up with
Fellaini, who turned and shot for the first before playing a cheeky
backheel through the legs of John O'Shea for Jelavic to score.
Asked whether Osman warranted a start
against Sweden on Wednesday Moyes said: 'Roy Hodgson picks that team. It is hard enough picking this Everton team without picking Roy's
The one downside to the afternoon was
an injury to Kevin Mirallas, probably Everton's best player in the
first half hour, which forced the Belgium international off.
Effort: Hard workers James McClean and Seamus Coleman (left) vie for possession
Well done: Players rush round Johnson to congratulate him on his first league goal
Tucked away: Johnson fires his strike past Tim Howard
'It looks like he has a bit of a
hamstring injury and it was a miss because we were a bit stodgy after
that, we didn't flow as nicely as we had done,' added the Toffees boss.
Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill,
who thought his side would end their 11-year win-less run against
Everton, was frustrated with the result.
'We should have been out of sight at
half-time. Instead of being one up we should have been three up,' he
said. 'Having said that, the players played brilliantly away from home
against a side who have a great chance of being in the Champions League.
'It was a great performance by the players. To be fair I thought we were exhilarating in the first half.
'We knew we would be under pressure in the second half but I always thought on the break we looked dangerous.
'The second goal epitomised a bit of luck and a bit of misfortune. We are obviously very disappointed.'

text: Maybe he didn't have the razor-edge irony of Stephen Sondheim or the bitchy wit of Lorenz Hart, but Oscar Hammerstein II was a colossus in the history of the American musical theater. A beautiful morning turned into an even more beautiful day as I whizzed through my favorites in this volume — from the badly underrated Carmen Jones of 1943 to the "Pore Jud Is Daid" requiem in Oklahoma! I knew that Hammerstein slaved over his lyrics for weeks and was always a bit jealous that Dick Rodgers could sit down and bang out the perfect music in seconds. That care is evident in Oscar's amazing job on Carmen Jones, fitting Bizet's rousing music into an African-American idiom: ("Beat out dat rhythm on a drum, / Dere's one big heart for all de worl' ") "Pore Jud," proved another challenge: as Hammerstein said, it was tough to elegize this "sulky farmhand, a 'bullet-colored, growly man,' a collector of dirty pictures." But the lyrics find a way: "He's all laid out to rest / With his hands acrost his chest. / His fingernails have never b'en so clean." I could go on for pages — there are 850 songs, about a quarter never before published in book form, including many cut and unused songs worth including in some dream show. A final anecdote to illustrate where credit is due: Mrs. Jerome Kern and Mrs. Oscar Hammerstein II were supposedly at a dinner at which a third companion told Mrs. Kern how wonderful it was that her husband had written "Ol' Man River." As Mrs. Kern was thanking her for the compliment, Mrs. H. chimed in, "My husband wrote 'Ol' Man River.' Her husband wrote, 'Da de da dum.' " Exactly.

Simulation modelling of temperate grassland based dairy calf to beef production systems
Profitable beef farming requires continuous appraisal and adaptation of production systems in response to advances in technology and evolving market and agricultural policy conditions. In this context bioeconomic models can be a useful aid to researchers seeking to understand how production systems react to these changing circumstances. A mathematical model, the Grange Dairy Beef Systems Model (GDBSM), is presented and used to simulate grassland based dairy calf to beef systems. The whole farm model consists of four interdependent components comprising farm system, animal nutrition, feed supply and financial sub models. Model applications are presented through the analysis of production scenarios concerning three cattle breed types and two finishing ages with the sensitivity of these scenarios to beef, fertiliser and concentrate price also outlined. The model results highlight the small and sometimes negative net margins (ranging from −€3000 to €13,000 on a per farm basis) of dairy calf to beef systems even with technically efficient management. The financial performance of all systems examined was sensitive to variation in beef price but relatively insensitive to variation in concentrate and fertiliser prices; on average the net margin per farm changed by €9900, €1800 and €500, respectively, as the beef, concentrate and fertiliser price increased and decreased by 10%. The model presented can be used to increase understanding of the complex relationships within dairy calf to beef production systems.
