Back in February we showed you spy photos of a Porsche Panamera wagon that suggest the body style is slated for production. With the same car (or an identical test mule) now running on the Nurburgring, we're ready to say the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo is real.

25Nissan Altima and Sentra to get Murano-inspired design redo
- Brandon Turkus
- Oct 7, 2014
- 25
The Nissan Altima and Sentra sedans are both very competent, economical, comfortable and well-equipped ways of getting from A to B. They're also both decidedly boring to look at, which is not a good trait in their increasingly style-driven segments.

3Top five 2014 Paris Motor Show debuts
- Steven J. Ewing

While certainly not as bountiful as this year's Geneva Motor Show, the year's second big European expo in Paris proved to be an immensely busy couple of days for our team. We covered 57 unveilings in total (see them all, here), and now that we're back home in the good ol' USA, it's time to reflect and pick our favorites from what debuted over in France.
9We obsessively covered the 2014 Paris Motor Show

Greetings from the Porte de Versailles, where we've just wrapped up our full coverage of the 2014 Paris Motor Show. While our team on the ground takes a moment to sample some local food (and wine) and stare up at the Eiffel Tower (it's super bright) before heading back to the States, we've consolidated all of the week's coverage into handy dandy roundup format for you to peruse. Have a look at the fruits of our labor, below.
9Seat Leon X-Perience is something we'd want to experience
- Steven J. Ewing
- Oct 3, 2014
- 9
Attending European auto shows like this week's Paris expo always makes me kind of jealous of the things offered in other markets. Funny little MPVs, hot hatches of all shapes and sizes, and just generally weird stuff are plentiful here, but we'd never, ever see these things in the States. And among the wares not often found in our market that are of particular interest, to me, are lifted wagons, like the new Seat Leon X-Perience on display here.
7Citroen C1 Urban Ride imagines a more rugged city car
- Chris Bruce
- Oct 3, 2014

The French auto brands certainly haven't been afraid to display a plethora of concepts at the 2014 Paris Motor Show. We've seen everything from the imagined future of CUVs to a very weird looking hatchback. Citroën is adding one more to the tally with its C1 Urban Ride that tries to make a European city car look a bit more rugged, highlighting the model's customization potential in the process.
4SsangYong XIV-Adventure and XIV-Air Concepts are finding the pace
- Chris Paukert
- Oct 3, 2014

Every time we see a display from SsangYong, Korea's fourth-largest automaker, we're startled at the pace with which it is upping its game. Just a few short years ago, its show stands were littered with discordant designs that bordered on the comical – the original Rodius and Korando still have us biting our tongues. But now look at them – the XIV-Adventure (above) and XIV-Air concept (below) may not be design standouts, but they are perfectly contemporary, with some interesting detai
23Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Concept-S shows what a facelift can do [w/video]
- Chris Bruce
- Oct 3, 2014

Sometimes you need a second chance to get things right. Technologically, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is a pretty cool vehicle, with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder and additional electric motors providing more thrust. However, the CUV never really looked the part for all of its innovation.

In the contest for ultra-high fuel efficiency, France is coming up with a seriously tough lineup of concepts. Both Peugeot and Citroën have concept cars on display at the 2014 Paris Motor Show that blend aerodynamics, low curb weights and cutting edge powertrain technologies to return 141 miles per gallon on the European cycle. And now Renault has just unveiled its fuel-saver to the world's press, showing off the Eolab, a concept hatch that promises to use only one liter of fuel for every 1

Limited-edition, hand-built cars are kind of a bizarre thing. On the one hand, people pay umpteen amounts of money for bespoke cars, with the manufacturer adding that iconic descriptor to all its press materials, but then the company goes and produces 20 of the exact same car and sells them as a "special edition." It seems kind of contradictory.

NEW YORK (AP) _ Celebrity parents Jon and Kate Gosselin say they
plan to divorce.
In a statement, Jon Gosselin says he and wife Kate filed for
divorce Monday afternoon.
The co-stars of ``Jon & Kate Plus 8,'' who are parents of
sextuplets and twins, spoke of their decision to separate during
Monday's episode of the TLC reality series.
The network had promised a major on-air decision from the
couple, whose increasingly troubled 10-year marriage has dominated
the series in recent weeks as well as fueling a firestorm of
tabloid coverage.
The Gosselins' announcement raises new questions about the
future of ``Jon & Kate,'' which, now in its fifth season, is TLC's
most popular series.
But both parents say the show will continue, with their segments
of the show filmed separately.

It doesn't matter if I'm with you in the kitchen making quinoa or talking to you through the lens of a computer screen, telling you I'm having a hard time making friends is one of the fastest ways I know to bring back all the emotions of second grade P.E. class. It's humiliating---kind of like announcing you're the kid no one wants to sit next to on the bus or that the guy who's taking you to dinner is only doing it because his mom knows your mom. Over and over again the last few days, when this topic has come up in conversation with acquaintances and friends, I've been shocked at how humbled I've been to simply state the truth, how much I've wanted to color it with less emotion and try to hide the fact that I crave deep relationships. I feel so embarrassed to say it, like I'm asking you to pity me and tell me I'm wonderful and invite me to your dinner party, but I force myself to do it anyway because it's true and I want to say what's true, and also, I want to fight the urge to only … [Read more...]
Night in Atlanta + Amaranth Porridge
Tim and I spent last Monday night in Atlanta---just a quick one-night getaway to the biggest city four hours from our home, made possible by a wedding gift from our friend Kim. After a rainy drive down that turned into a sunny stop at IKEA, we arrived at Stonehurst Place, our bed and breakfast for the night. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Stonehurst is a stunning estate built in 1896 and totally renovated in 2007-08. Our room, the Farnsworth, overlooked the screened-in back porch and was decorated with a Hollywood glam theme. It featured its own fireplace, a queen-sized bed with Egyptian cotton sheets, a marble bathroom and a full walk-in closet. One of the last times I'd stayed in a B & B was in Maine, a place whose quaint little towns often make it hard not to stay in a B & B, and the thing I've always liked most about them is the extra amenities: at Stonehurst, we had access to an upstairs sitting room with a Keurig coffee/tea maker, … [Read more...]

Vedic astrology teaches that doshas result from flawed aspects in a person's horoscope. According to the website, Vedic Astrology Predication, Mars positioned in the first, fourth, seventh, eighth or 12th house creates a Manglik Dosha. This "evil" aspect can indicate that a person's spouse may die early in the union. Three ceremonies to remove a Manglik Dosha include, but are not limited to, Kumbh Vivah, Vishnu Vivah and a Mangal Dosh Nivaran puja. A puja is a worship ceremony.
Things You'll Need
- Clay pot
- Red thread
- Fresh basil leaves
Kumbh Vivah
Ask a Hindu priest to perform a Kumbh Vivah ceremony to lift a Manglik Dosha. This involves the bride, a red thread and a clay urn. The ceremony takes place immediately before the wedding. The girl sits with her parents. She holds a red thread, which she discards when the ceremony is over. The priest crushes the clay pot, which symbolizes the death of her spouse.
Remove a manglik dosha with a Vishnu Vivah ceremony, also known as a Tulsi Vivah. In this ceremony, devotees celebrate the marriage of the Hindu god Vishnu using tulsi (basil) leaves. When the bride bathes in the water containing sacred tulsi, she is granted the same soul-cleansing virtues as taking an official Vishnu Vivah pilgrimage. During the ceremony, she also wears a tulsi bead necklace to remove her fear of death.
Ask a Hindu priest to perform a Mangal Dosh Nivaran puja ceremony with the bride before the wedding. This ceremony involves installing images of the Hindu gods Ganesha, Navgraha and Shiva and performing the worship in front of them.The priest performs Vedic rituals and chants mantras and japa (chanting the names of the gods) to remove the Manglik Dosha. The priest bases the ritual's exact details on the girl's Vedic astrological chart.
Tips & Warnings
- Consult a Vedic astrologer to evaluate the level of Manglik Dosha in a Vedic astrological chart.

WOW!! This was very, very tasty and so easy. I cooked and shredded the chicken meat the night before. Put everything in the crockpot in the morning and cooked on low all day. We came home and had incredible BBQ sandwiches. So simple and easy. Something that will be a regular thing around here. Thanks Nurse Di.
These came out pretty good. I would only add one cup of water next time because when I like a thicker sauce, this sauce was a little too runny for me.
We had this for supper tonight. What a treat. My family loved it. The sauce was seasoned just the way we like it. Wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for a great recipe.

Fantasy Football: Late Round Running Backs To Consider
The running back position is extremely volatile and finding the right late round guys is often key to winning your league. Right now we are still waiting for a labor agreement so we can get free agency going so we have to do a lot of speculation here, but that's pretty much what writing about fantasy is anyway!
Delone Carter: I'm not one to draft rookies in fantasy that often, but if they can be had at value, running backs are the way to go. With Joseph Addai and Donald brown both not living up to expectations and both not being all that effective running between the tackles Carter looks like he should really be able to fill a niche in Indianapolis that will allow him to score a whole bunch of touchdowns! His ADP is in kicker range right now, but I think as word gets out on him it will rise fast.
Michael Bush: The Raiders would like to keep Bush, and if they do his fantasy upside is limited as long as Run DMC can stay healthy, but there is a decent chance he ends up on a new team that will use him in early downs. He had some pretty nice games last season when he was the go to guy and in the right situation could be a beast.
Roy Helu: Ryan Torain in all fairness is not that good and Mike Shanahan knows it and he's very hopeful that Mr. Helu can step up fast. So unless the Redskins make a move in free agency it is Helu's job to lose. We know that Shanny can make average backs into fantasy gold, but can also throw some fool's gold your way as well! Helu isn't going to break the bank on draft day, so I'm not too worried about getting fooled again.
James Starks: Starks is an interesting case. His play in the playoffs was outstanding and he flashed real ability, but Ryan Grant will be back. Does Starks get a shot to compete for the #1 slot? Sure. Will he get it? Probably not. I'm not going to spit in your eye and tell you its raining. Grant is the workhorse in Green Bay if he is healthy. Starks has done enough to get his work in as well. I see him as a third down back unless injuries warrant otherwise. He is going in the 8th round right now which isn't horrible value if you don't believe in Grant, but I'm going to stay away from both unless the situation clears up.
Rashad Jennings: We've all heard plenty of talk about Maurice Jones-Drew's knee, but here is some more. Could he play all 16 games this season and be just fine? Sure. But would I bet my own money on that happening? I would not. I'm no psychic doctor, so I'm not going to tell you that his knee won't hold up, but we've already heard conflicting reports on when he was able to resume running and the "bone on bone" report scares the bejeebus out of me. Jennings is next in line. If MJD is on your team (he won't be on mine) you are going to have to grab Jennings before others because there will be more interest in him than your run of the mill backup.
Beanie Wells: Wells has been a huge disappointment so far. Last season was his to run with and instead he fumbled it away. The Cardinals drafted Ryan Williams and still have Tim Hightower so the competition for touches is growing. Amazingly I still believe in Wells' talent. Not enough to invest a high pick in him, but enough to take on a little risk in the 8th or 9th rounds. This is a make or break season for him and he knows it.
Ronnie Brown: Yet another free agent whose landing spot will play a lot into his possible fantasy value. Of course his injury history is also a sore spot you don't want to rub too hard. Brown has elite talent, or at least "had" elite talent. He's a guy like Wells that I feel has a lot of upside if he can stay healthy and live up to his ability. His ADP is all over the place. I've seen it from the 9th to 12th rounds. I'm ok with taking a risk on him in the 9th, but would much rather take a flier on him in the 12th.

Reviews for The Ellie Fund
1 person found this review helpful
My daughter, Tara Griffith, was struck with Breast Cancer in April 2010. I was living in North Carolina at the time (I have subsequently moved back to the Boston area) and the long distance service that I could provide was minimal at best. Tara told me how the Ellie Fund contacted her directly and offered their services of help to her. It was beyond anything I had ever seen before in a non-profit. The fact that the Ellie Fund is providing much needed care to cancer patients on such a generous level caused an interest in me. I have been thru Taras treatments when I was able and saw how hard it can be to manage cancer and life. The balancing act required to sustain a sense of normality is beyond what could be understood outside this cancer arena. I was moved when I saw how the Ellie Fund, and its fund-raisers, sacrificially devoted themselves to be not only a help...but a true Blessing. It is an organization that doesn't just issue a balance sheet at the end of the year; but, an organization that has faces....faces of people actually served. Worthy Worthy Worthy cause to commit to and support. Thank You all.

I've just started attending and supporting these events and find the volunteers extremely dedicated.
They have a great record of providing support to those women who have this terrible disease.
In fact, a friend of mine was just diagosed with breast cancer and I referred the Ellie Fund to her. Within minutes her email was answered by Gail Fine and now she's in the process of submitting her application for transportation services.
All I can say is "Keep up the Good Work" Ladies- for you are doing a tremendous job of supporting your sisters!

By Sgt. Antony LeeFebruary 5, 2014
KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan - Master Sgt. Harry E. Slone Jr., 4th Infantry Division's master chaplain assistant, was a couple of months into his deployment in southern Afghanistan when he found out his son, Pfc. Aaron Slone, was stationed in Germany and would soon deploy to Afghanistan.
He was both excited and concerned at the prospect of his son deploying to Afghanistan. Aaron Slone, an information technology specialist, arrived in Afghanistan - at Forward Operating Base Mehtar Lam, in eastern Afghanistan - in mid-January.
"As a father I am concerned, as a soldier I am proud," Harry Slone said. "Knowing that my son is following in my footsteps is honorable and humbling."
Harry Slone, who is based at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, has been in the Army since the early 90s and has deployed several times. Aaron Slone joined the Army last summer and just arrived in Afghanistan to begin his first deployment.
"Two generations being deployed at the same time probably doesn't happen too often and it's pretty cool," Aaron Slone said in an email.
Although the two are serving in different regional commands, the two hope to see each other while both are serving in Afghanistan.
Harry Slone's concern and joy for his son is representative of the demeanor he takes in overseeing all chaplain assistants in Regional Command (South). He makes sure they are trained in their duties and responsibilities: Chaplain assistants are counted on to help run chapel services and support chaplains, among other tasks. Harry Slone also helps organize memorials and services for fallen warriors - something he considers one of the most important jobs he has as a master chaplain assistant.
"In a solemn way, one of the greatest tasks we accomplish is to honor the dead and to help bring closure to the unit," he said.
Harry Slone attended basic training in 1991 and has been a chaplain assistant his whole Army career.
"As soon as I was able to join, I joined," he said. "The Army saved my life. It instilled a lot of discipline in me. It taught me how to be a man, how to be a better father."
He speaks confidently about the relevance of the seven Army values - loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage - and how they can impact one's life even outside the military.
"If you live the seven Army values daily, they transfer over to being a father and husband," Harry Slone said, pointing to duty as an example. "If I do my duty as a husband and father, I will create an environment for my family to be successful and for my kids to give something back to society."
An important aspect of Harry Slone's current job is to to track the battlefield movement of the division's Catholic priest, so Soldiers at different bases in southern Afghanistan are able to celebrate Mass as often as possible.
He also provides security for Lt. Col. Bill Harrison, RC(S) command chaplain, when both fly out to other locations to check up on other International Security Assistance Force chaplains and chaplain assistants.
"One of our major tasks is to make sure chaplains move safely around the battlefield," he said.
Training in mid-November that Harry Slone helped organize allowed chaplain assistants at KAF to experience firing their weapons with increased heart rates, better preparing them to use their weapons should they have to protect a chaplain in combat.
Harry Slone looks to his foundation - faith and family - to get through every day of the deployment, he said.
"Knowing that I have an avenue to turn to, knowing God will answer my prayers, is what pushes me through," he said. "My family is huge for me too. I know what I do is honoring them. My wife accepts me being away from her and accomplishing the mission. She is a former soldier and knows how this goes."

Would a Sale deal involve Sox for Sox?

Jim Bowden remains leery of the AL Cy Young favorite being dealt. But if White Sox GM Rick Hahn parts with Chris Sale, Bowden sees Boston as the most likely landing spot. Top trade targets/best fits (Insider)
Clubs talking with the Red Sox say they're still trying to do "something big." But for what high-end starter? Chris Sale? Sonny Gray? Mystery pitcher?
The media predicted the 2016 season would play out much like 2015 did, with the Tigers and Tar Heels meeting in the ACC title game.
Boston already landed starter Drew Pomeranz. But with the deadline looming, the Red Sox still need pitching -- and they're determined to get it.
Recently asked two AL talent evaluators about Red Sox top prospect Yoan Moncada's future position and got same answer: "Anywhere he wants." Dave Dombrowski doesn't typically regard any player as "untouchable," but indications are Moncada may be pretty close.
The ACC has some pretty daunting venues, from Syracuse's Carrier Dome to North Carolina's Smith Center. Is Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium the toughest place to get a win?
As is regularly the case for the Patriots each year, with QBs and rehabbing players reporting for training camp early, Tom Brady is among those at Gillette Stadium today. The official reporting day for veterans is Wednesday, with the first practice Thursday.
The Patriots will surely be keeping an eye on offensive tackle Nate Solder, who is returning from a biceps injury that kept him out of spring workouts.
A few days ago, one AL executive said he had "no idea what [Chris] Sale would cost, but would think it would be off the charts." No sense around the league that anything has changed. Expectation is the White Sox aren't prepared to accept anything less than a massive package for a 27-year-old ace with one of most team-friendly long-term contracts, regardless of his disagreements with the team.
Safety looks to be a major strength for the Patriots, but Vinnie Sunseri, whom the team signed on Sunday, is a candidate to fill a special-teams role.
Rick Porcello is the first Boston pitcher in 55 years to open a season 10-0 at Fenway, further proof he has been the steadying force in the rotation.
The Patriots announced the signing of free-agent safety Vinnie Sunseri on Sunday. The 6-foot, 210-pound Sunseri was a 2014 fifth-round draft choice of the Saints who played in 9 games as a rookie before a broken arm ended his first year in the NFL. Then he missed the entire the 2015 season with a knee injury sustained in the preseason finale. In his senior season at Alabama, Sunseri tore his ACL, so injuries the last three years have added up. The Saints released him in April and he will compete for a core special teams role in New England.
Patriots announce the signing of safety Vinnie Sunseri, a 2015 fifth-round draft choice of the Saints. He played nine games last year before landing on IR. Released by Saints on April 25. Patriots now have 1 open roster spot.
Rick Porcello became the first Boston pitcher in 55 years to open a season 10-0 in Fenway Park, and Hanley Ramirez and Travis Shaw both hit a three-run homer as the Red Sox beat the Twins 8-7.

Obama calls first 100 days tense but fruitful
Published: Wednesday, April 29, 2009 at 7:19 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 29, 2009 at 7:19 a.m.
ARNOLD, Mo. (AP) Marking his symbolic 100th day in office, President Barack Obama told Midwesterners Wednesday: "I'm pleased with the progress we've made but I'm not satisfied."
Obama: Schools with infections may have to close
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama said Wednesday that schools with confirmed cases of swine flu should consider closing.
Speaking at the White House, Obama said he wants Americans to know the government is doing "whatever is necessary" to contain the emerging health threat, which was officially blamed for a U.S. death for the first time Wednesday.
Obama also conveyed his thoughts and prayers for the family of the 23-month-old child in Texas who became the nation's first reported death. The president's remarks came at an event welcoming Sen. Arlen Specter to the Democratic Party, and hours before Obama's evening televised news conference.
"This is obviously a serious situation," Obama said, that "we are closely and continuously monitoring." He urged local authorities to be vigilant in reporting any suspected flu cases.
Obama said it is the recommendation of public health officials that authorities at schools with confirmed or suspected cases of swine flu "should strongly consider temporarily closing so that we can be as safe as possible."
He advised parents to get ready for such disruptions.
"If the situation becomes more serious and we have to take more extensive steps, then parents should also think about contingencies if schools in their areas do temporarily shut down, figuring out and planning what their child care situation would be," Obama advised.
Just moving children from schools to day care centers in infected areas "is not a good solution," he said.
Obama said the federal government is "prepared to do whatever is necessary to control the impact of this virus." He noted his request for $1.5 billion in emergency funding to ensure adequate supplies of vaccines.
And he advised individuals to take their own precautions washing hands, staying home if they are sick, and keeping sick kids home.
"I'm confident in the future but I'm not content with the present," the president told a town-hall style event in a St. Louis suburb.
Later, the president planned to head back to Washington to send that same message to the rest of the country at a prime time news conference.
Even as his administration sought to minimize the symbolism of the 100-day marker, the White House staged these two high-profile, high-visibility events to promote Obama's accomplishments while pressing his big-ticket agenda.
In office just three months, the Democrat enters the next phase of his new presidency with a high job approval rating and a certain amount of political capital from his history-making election last fall. But he also faces a thicket of challenges as he seeks to move ahead on multiple fronts both foreign and domestic amid recession and war. He will need continued public support to accomplish his lofty goals.
Thus, Obama used the anniversary some aides derided it as a "Hallmark holiday" to travel to Missouri to press his case.
"We have begun to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off, and we've begun the work of remaking America," Obama proclaimed. But he acknowledged, "We've got a lot of work to do because on our first day in office, we found challenges of unprecedented size and scope."
He defended his ambitious, costly plan, saying: "These challenges could not be met with half measures. They couldn't be met with the same, old formulas. They couldn't be confronted in isolation. They demanded action that was bold and sustained."
And, Obama countered critics who said he's taking on too much, as he works to turn around the recession while revamping energy, education and health care in the United States.
"The changes that we've made are the changes we promised," Obama said. "We're doing what we said we'd do."
Earlier, Obama began his day at the White House, where he welcomed Sen. Arlen Specter, the veteran Pennsylvania Republican, to the Democratic Party. The president said he was "grateful" for Specter's decision to switch parties. Vice President Joe Biden, who had long encouraged his former Senate colleague to become a Democrat, also attended.
The president then darted to Missouri to hold what aides billed as a question-and-answer event, though Obama spent roughly 20 minutes making opening remarks in which he touted changes his fledgling administration already has made and other issues it wants to tackle in the coming months.
Obama drew a standing ovation from the crowd as he noted his first 100 days, saying: "That's a good thing." He also hailed the day as "the beginning of another long journey," given the challenges facing the country. And he said he's pleased the public seems to understand that.
The president promised to fight for everyday Americans, saying: "My campaign was possible because the American people wanted change. I ran for president because I wanted to carry those voices, your voices, with me to Washington. So I just want everybody to understand you're who I'm working for every single day in the White House. I've heard your stories. I know you sent me to Washington because you believed in the promise of a better day. And I don't want to let you down."
Obama reached his 100th day with strong public backing. An Associated Press-GfK poll found that 64 percent of Americans approve of his job performance and 48 percent believe the country is headed in the right direction. The "right direction" number is up 8 points since February and 31 points since October, the month before Obama's election.
But problems may lurk behind that public optimism. Ninety percent of Americans consider the economy an important issue the most ever in an AP poll and 65 percent said it's difficult for them and their families to get ahead.

I expected a #!/usr/bin/bash line to work, but as you pointed out, Solaris doesn't provide for that.

What makes this worse, is that the script happily prints out > the success message when in fact it failed. If Python is not your in your path, I think there is no other solution other than hard coding it. I agree that it shouldn't print success when it failed. We can add that to the bug list. My thought is that we should put Solaris comments at the top of the script to save the next person some research time. Sorry if I don't have stronger solutions, but those Solaris characteristics seem awfully weird... -Chuck

When I try and stream through the Wii, I get to the correct page, click on the PLAY arrow...and wait.....nothing. I don't get an error message so it seems the proxy server is working. Any ideas?

The Associated Press
From left, protestors Dayanna Rebolledo, Maria Marroquin, and Andrea Rosales, join hands before being arrested during a demonstration to bring attention to rights for illegal immigrants such as education, Tuesday, April 5, 2011 in Atlanta.
ATLANTA (AP) - Seven illegal immigrants arrested while blocking a downtown Atlanta street have been instructed to perform community service.
An Atlanta municipal court judge on Wednesday agreed to the penalty. The seven are charged with violating two city ordinances: obstructing traffic and prohibited conduct during assembly. An assistant solicitor says the charges will be dropped once they complete their community service.
The young people were arrested Tuesday, after they sat in the middle of a downtown street for more than an hour.
They protested to bring national attention to the issue of equal access to higher education for illegal immigrants.
Police told The Associated Press Tuesday eight protesters had been arrested, but the court said Wednesday it was seven.
U.S. immigration authorities have not said whether they'll pursue action against the protesters.

Living in Hong Kong
No... I am not living in Hong Kong, but I've always wondered what it would be like. I was surprised to see how green and hilly parts of the city were. It almost reminded me of a San Francisco x10 on with 10x less Asians.
My very nice friends and regular fans on here get tired of the following daily message, but if I remove it, then I keep getting the same kinda emails: This is from My Tutorial right here - I have over 17,000 unread emails - sorry but I am too swamped - but most of you ask for that tutorial, so there it is! :)

Employer Size or Skill Group Size Effect on Wages?
The authors analyze explanations for firm- or establishment-size effects on wages. One theory is that each firm faces an upward sloping supply curve for labor, implying that the number of any particular type of worker should matter for his or her level of pay, rather than the total number of workers in the firm. To test this hypothesis, the authors add the log of skill group size to the standard log wage equation. Results indicate that the traditional employer-size effect on wages dwindles away once control for the number of workers of the same skill group (educational type) as the observed individual within the establishment is added to the equation. The skill group size effect on wages is substantial. After controlling for both individual- and establishment-specific heterogeneity, a dwindling employer-size effect and a significant group size effect remain.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - The attorney for a Florida man says
her client admits raping a woman at a public housing complex in
Florida two years ago, but denies taking part in more than a dozen
other acts during what prosecutors call a brutal assault.
Tommy Lee Poindexter is charged with 14 counts in the 2007 gang
rape and beating of a mother and the sexual assault of her young
son. His public defender acknowledged at the start of Poindexter's
trial today that DNA evidence will link him to the woman's rape.
But during her opening statement, the attorney Haughwout told
jurors there was no proof that Poindexter was present during other
parts of the attack.
Authorities allege that 10 masked teens attacked the woman and
her son. A second teen is being tried with Poindexter, but in front
of a separate jury. A third teen is scheduled to be tried next
month, while a fourth person has pleaded guilty and has agreed to
Police are also looking for others who may have drifted in and
out of the apartment to participate in the attack.

Historical Traveler Reviews Castle Kona Bali Kai Kailua-Kona
Beautiful Island, Ugly hotel
The Kona Bali Kai was VERY outdated. The furniture and carpeting appeared to not have been cleaned or replaced for 25 years. Cockroaches and geckoes (lizards) were seen in our kitchenette and bathrooms. Matresses and bedspreads were very old and stained. The rooms are not sterilized everyday (I wonder if at all). The front desk staff is not present 24 hours (only 8AM-10PM) and the safety and sanity of the guests is left to 1 or 2 lazy security guards. We had problems with youth teams staying at the hotel running around, yelling and lauging all night. The security guard's sollution was to yell "STOP RUNNING" several times from the lobby late at night instead of coming upstairs and disciplining the kids. So between them and the waves, there was (unfortunately) very little relaxing rest.
Oceanfront bedroom is so loud with the crashing waves that it truly does sound like war cannons. They have sliding doors without locks and provide little privacy or security.
Second bedroom is small with one tiny window and you cannot keep the blinds open unless you would like everyone that walks by to see in.
Bathrooms do have good hot water and pressure.
Kitchenette cleanliness is in question, but the supply of necessities (plates, pans, utensils. refrig, micro, dishwasher, etc) did come in handy
Livingroom area is average at best, there is no fold-out couch bed and I definately would NOT recommend you sleep on the floor in this place. If you want to watch some television, it has to be on max volume because of the wave noise.
Lanai (balcony) does have beautiful views and is pleasantly shaded during the hot daylight hours.
The outside carpeting, steps and elevators to/from the lobby are very unsanitary and uninviting.
The "beach" is nice for setting up one of the provided lounge chairs and tanning. There is no swimming, and if you would like to wade in the water, bring protective shoes because there are TONS of poisonous sea urchins within the rocks. The turtles are a highlight, but they can be seen on any beach of the Kona Coast.
The pool is small and is all locked up with no view of the beautiful oceanfront. What a waste. The jacuzzi is VERY small and seemed a bit scummy.
Overall, I survived, but would choose a different hotel next time
Bad feeling right from the start
From the moment we checked in I got a bad feeling about the place. We were instructed to use a code to get in the gate to use their swimming pool which wasn't a great pool to begin with, mine at home is 10 times better. Going up to our room I could not help notice the dirty carpeting and the grounds were very un-kept. Red flags were going up all over the place. Security doors on every room, Security gate to access the pool with a code that gets changed daily which is inconvenient if you did decide to stay. We had a 2 bedroom 2 both ocean view room, you would think this would be great, but NO. The view was nice but the ad says surf that will lull you to sleep, the surf is pounding and sounds like a cannon going off each time it reaches the shore. There is no air conditioning in the ocean front rooms I was told because of the suppossed breeze you will get. It was so humid I was dripping wet within 5 minutes, and you are stuck between a rock and a hard place, because the surf being so loud you have to close the sliding glass door which doesn't allow you to get that wonderful"ocean breeze" they were talking about. I totally agree with the remark made by the folks from Laguna Niguel Ca, this place does scream BUDGET, it is a two star rating which is low 2's in my opinion, but if BUDGET is what you are looking for and don't care then this is the place for you.
Loved this place
We stayed at the Marc Kona Bali Kai for 3 nights from July 5 thru July 8, 2004.
The condo (unit 207) we were in was oceanfront (literally -- the waves were breaking less than 20 feet from our lanai). Sea turtles were in the surf. There was no air conditioning, yet there were ceiling fans in every room and we never felt the need for air conditioning. We left the sliding doors open and opened the mountainside windows and let the breeze flow thru.
The pool was average -- not too large, but clean. The grounds looked to be well kept. Parking was under the units on the ground level and was free.
The king bed was comfortable (firm) and the bathrooms were roomy. Hot water was virtually instantaneous and water pressure was good.
Full kitchen with all appliances. Dinnerware, cookware, and flatware were all provided. Bed linens were not changed during our stay, but the bathrooms were cleaned daily and restocked with toiletries and towels.
The in-room safe was $3.50 US a day. There was an in-room washer and dryer in our unit. Note that the hotel has a guest laundry also.
Ocean swimming was not an option with too many rocks and lava, but surfing and fishing seemed to be big activities. At night there was also a horde of little bugs, smaller than flies and bigger than gnats, so we had to keep the screen doors closed. This seemed to be a problem everywhere, however, not just at this hotel.
The unit was clean and attractive. We wish we had not stayed in Waikiki for 4 nights and that we had spent the whole time here.
I would recommend this to almost anyone without reservation, especially considering it is marketed as an "economy" level property.
Waterfront condo is great.
We just got back from the Big Island. We stayed 3 nights at this resort. The unit was great. We were right on the ocean. the views and sounds were wonderful. I would recommend this condo.Only problem we had was I was sick while there and as soon as we left I was better. Don't know if something in the unit was the cause of the problem or not. They had damage because of a prvious storm and this may have contributed to a mold problem or something. Overall a great place to stay.
Some units may be OK...but there are much better places
Our unit was not as good as the photos and we were disappointed the minute we walked in the door. It screamed BUDGET. The black grout in the tiles of the bathrooms bothered me all week. We had to call for maintenance the moment we arrived because the ceiling fans didn't function (there is no A.C.). Second bedroom is very tiny and unappealing. Exterior of bldg needs maintenance. There is no real area in front of the building to relax near the water -- the building is too close. The waves were high all week, so you couldn't safely get in the water. The pool is tiny and unappealing because it is blocked by the building. They have security some days to keep other people out of the parking area, but it seemed ineffective. Lots of people who don't stay in the building hang out there. The place had a negative feel to it. We even left early and sacrificed our prepaid remaining nights. There are a lot of great condos with nice grounds, but this is not one of them.
Would NOT stay there again.
Enjoy the pounding waves
The condo I stayed in was ocean front and it was absolutely fabulous!
The unique and stylish condo was clean and comfortable. It had a full kitchen which made it nice to relax and enjoy home cooked meals on the deck overlooking the beautiful surf. The pounding ocean waves put me to sleep each night as the moon shimmered over the water. Everything in town was nearby within walking distance. I would come back and stay here if I was in town again. Thank you Karen and Bruce for the lovely condo!!!
We stayed here in 2/2000 for our honeymoon. It was not super fancy but the staff were courteous and helpful. Our condo was RIGHT on the ocean and had windows for the walls facing the ocean and the sunsets. There was no air conditioning but with the cool breezes off the ocean, none was needed, and the plus of keeping the windows open was the amazing sound of the waves crashing on shore just below our windows--I've never slept better! We walked onto the rocks in front of the hotel and watched tons of sea turtles. The road it's on is a little busy but there is easy access to restaurants, etc. Would definitely recommend it!
The Kona Bali Kai is an incerdiable vacation get away. The sound of the surf is very relaxing and a soothing to forget the hustle and bustle of a busy life. The ocean is 45 feet from the back door, sea turtles feed close to shore. The grounds are great and the staff friendly and very helpful. The sunsets are post card quility and occure every night. This resort brings a new meaning to "Ocean Frtont" it is paradice on earth.
I highly recommend this wonderful resort.
The Best
I've been to Hawaii many times, and stayed in, what the reviewers call, the best hotels the Islands have to offer. I was pleasantly surprised, when I arrived at the Kona Bali Kai. Amazingly clean, beautifully decorated and WHAT A VIEW. It just felt like home, only in Paradise.
The rates were excellent and the service was great. As a matter of fact, I'm going back to Hawaii this year, and while in the Kona area, will be staying at this exceptional hotel again. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone.
This was the worst place we have ever stayed. We arrived at the property and it had such a bad feel to it, We checked into our room which was far from the main building. The unit only had a a/c unit in the living room, which was very far from the bedroom. We went to dinner and came back around 10 pm to find a security guard roaming the property. He informed my husband that there was break-in's during the night while the people were sleeping. Needless to say in the morning we moved to a different hotel- Keahou Resort. Which was wonderful.This property is very misleading and I would not recommend it at all.Also, we did rent a card and it did have roaches in it. We returned it that night and they gave us a upgraded car without bugs.

Hawaii Adventure Day 3
Tough night sleeping, jet lag continues. We got a late start and headed south to Kona. Nothing great. Honky tonk town with tons of souvenir shops. We spoke with a gentleman who works in one of the coffee shops and he is from Miami. He did not speak highly of any of the restaurants. We left and went to the Kona brewery for lunch. It was quite good and my husband loved the . Headed back to the villa and stopped along the way at a lava cave. Very ...
Adventure Weekend!!
... pizza I've ever had. Humpy's is a tourist trap in tourist trap row, so I expected the pizza to be tasty but average. We were not prepared for it to be so damn good. This pizza blew us away. It had the traditional Hawaiian pork, homemade BBQ sauce, grilled pineapple, caramelized onions, crispy onion straws and whole cloves of creamy, roasted garlic. It was. So. Good. And here we are, back at the farm. There was so much unbelievable stuff that we crammed into the last 72 ...
North on Big Island
... couple of weeks ( Don't honk your horn, you might wake it! ) and is expected to give it's las gasp in another million or so. We don't intend to stay that long. On the Highways here there are very few stopping places to allow picture taking and with a minimum speed limit, sometimes you have passed a lay by before reacting. Yes, I know I'm getting slow, it's because I'm old. At Hawi we had a Coffee Brownie ...
Downtown Kona
A late morning for us then a $2, 2 hours trolley bus ride around Kona Resorts, beaches and shopping areas. Sort of like a hop on hop off bus...but we stayed on. It was interesting to see the differences in little beach coves, some white and some black sands. The sun was shining so they looked inviting. A good way of orienting yourself and get a 'feel' of ...
Day One in Kona
... tropical fish that live in the rocks of the small bay. In the few times I've snorkeled, I've never seen so many beautiful fish; Yellow Tang and a little polka-dotted puffer fish were the few that I could identify. After a leisurely lunch and siesta, our foursome met up and toured about the immediate area and doing a bit of shopping. Brent also arranged for an exchange on the car which turned out to be very advantageous as we now have a van that seats seven. With Inger ...
