A proposed amendment to our city's charter mandating that adult possession or non-public consumption of one ounce or less of marijuana be the lowest law enforcement priority of our city's police and law enforcers will appear as a ballot question Tuesday.
For several compelling reasons, Kalamazoo's citizens should support this effort to make our city charter more reflective of our community's progressive and fiscally conscientious values.
Let me begin by emphatically stating the proposed charter amendment does not legalize marijuana possession or consumption in Kalamazoo. Such matters are currently prosecuted under state law, which remains unaffected by our city's charter.
Law enforcement officers will remain able to enforce marijuana prohibition; the charter merely directs them to consider adult marijuana possession and non-public consumption to be the lowest priority criminal offenses.
In other words, as the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety and the City Attorney decide how to allocate dwindling public resources to investigate and prosecute criminal activity, the targeting of adults for marijuana possession or consumption shall be at the bottom of the list, leaving more police officers and city prosecutors available to target drinking and driving, property crime, violence and the methamphetamine trade, to name a few.
As a way to keep us informed, the charter amendment requires city officials to make public the number of adults arrested each year for marijuana possession or consumption. The only way to ensure that our law enforcers reflect the sentiments of the community is to insist on transparency.
In 2008, Kalamazoo law enforcement agencies made 1,600 arrests involving controlled substances, nearly 60 percent of which involved marijuana. Nearly 90 percent of those marijuana charges were misdemeanors, the vast majority of which involved personal possession or use of marijuana by adults 21 or older.
Like many criminal defense attorneys, I devote a substantial portion of my practice to these types of offenses and earn a stable income in part because marijuana remains illegal.
Watching misdemeanor arraignments in the downtown courthouse imparts the reality that there is no "typical" marijuana defendant — no stoner-slacker one-size-fits-all stereotypes that were once taught to us in such Reagan-era youth programs as DARE.
While the demographic is actually quite diverse, most adult misdemeanor defendants who I come into contact with professionally have common traits: they are employed, otherwise law abiding and tax-paying citizens whose only illegal behavior is marijuana-related.
Contrary to what our law enforcers tell us, marijuana is not a gateway drug to hard drugs such as cocaine, heroin or methamphetamine. Conceding that many hard drug consumers have tried marijuana, studies have shown that the vast majority of adult marijuana consumers, like adult alcohol consumers, will never go on to be users of cocaine, heroin or methamphetamine.
While consuming marijuana recreationally can be harmful to one's health, it simply does not lead to the same level of societal mayhem and erosion of community that harder drugs cause and probably has even less societal costs than the alcoholic beverage industry.
Most defendants do not get incarcerated in the Kalamazoo county jail for simply possessing or consuming marijuana.
However, our community must expend significant law enforcement and court resources to investigate, prosecute and usually sentence these individuals to terms of probation, toward which we must pay for months of supervision and chemical testing, threatening incarceration for the slightest infraction.
Not only is this spending precious money that our community should devote to more worthy causes, the scarlet letter of a marijuana conviction on one's public record can be devastating to those wishing to further their employment potential or receive federally subsidized student loans.
In an era of endemic unemployment, do we need to go out of our way to hinder those who wish to better themselves?
In its 2010 budget, Kalamazoo funded the Kalamazoo Valley Enforcement Team, one of two drug teams operating in the county, with a nearly $1.5 million annual budget. Besides enforcing statutes concerning marijuana possession by adults for personal use, KVET is tasked with investigating individuals for possession and/or sales of cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and other devastating controlled substances that have had a much more dramatic impact on our community than adult marijuana possession.
With the rise of the "one pot" small-batch method of manufacturing methamphetamine, the number of methamphetamine laboratories has skyrocketed over the past several years, and our community has yet to turn the page and honestly confront our options for combating this devastating scourge.
After even only a brief exposure to our local criminal justice system, it is readily apparent that public resources could be better spent targeting offenses that more directly affect the community's quality of life, integrity and public safety.
Having practiced in this community for the past several years, I find myself regularly appearing next to my clients at sentencing hearings for violent felonies, theft and drug dealing where they are sentenced to community supervision instead of incarceration, having barely spent time in custody away from their victims and society.
We need to reprioritize whom our courts incarcerate. That process begins at the intake point of the criminal justice machine, with prioritizing who gets arrested and charged with criminal activity in the first place.
This charter amendment serves that purpose in making an important distinction in law enforcement policy that reflects our community's progressive values and desire to best allocate public resources.
I hope you join me in supporting its passage by voting for its passage this November.
John Targowski is a Kalamazoo-based criminal defense attorney with a practice focusing on drug and alcohol offenses. He is one of the authors of the proposed charter amendment on this week's ballot. He can be reached at email@example.com.

UNDATED (www.incnow.tv) - Toyota Motor Corp. reached a settlement worth more than a billion dollars in a case involving hundreds of lawsuits over acceleration problems.
The Japanese automaker says the settlement will resolve cases involving owners who said they sold their cars at reduced prices because of the bad publicity over the claims of sudden acceleration. The settlement is valued between 1.2 and 1.4 billion dollars and still needs to be approved by a California federal judge.
A plaintiff's attorney says the settlement is the largest one in the U.S. history involving automobile defects.

If you want botox injection, he may be the right one, but you want a doctor that can help you with your other medical needs, better go somewhere else
My wife fell from the stairs, and was badly deformed. He initially refused to take x-ray, then after waiting for over 90 minutes for x-ray person to come, were told x-ray was fine, only to found out in ER 24 hours later that the elbow was badly fractured.
I had a fantastic experience with this doctor. He was efficient and thorough and his staff was cheerful and kind. The whole atmosphere at his clinic was wonderful. I don't have insurance but the cost of the visit was what I expected. I would have been happy to pay more.
I was very surprised by the last review which was not my experience at all. Dr Ali's office did everything they could to help me save money because I have no insurance. The lady at the front desk recommended the cheapest pharmacy as well as a discount pharmacy card. And I'm pretty sure I should have paid more than I did for my visit. I found this clinic far from greedy and Dr Ali and his staff were courteous and funny. I would highly recommend him.
Money first, patient care last. Enough said
Wish all doctors were like Dr Ali. He's always so cheerful and kind. I wish I could use him as my PCP.
I saw Dr Ali at Calvine Urgent Care in Sacramento and was really impressed with the cleanliness of the place. The registration process was a breeze and I barely sat down before I was called back. He was so pleasant to talk to and made me feel comfortable immediately. It was a great experience from beginning to end. He won the patient's choice award 2 years in a row and I can see why!
Such a kind man, easy to talk to and very thorough in his examination. I felt that he understood what I was telling him and that he listened instead of just talking at me. I almost didn't mind being sick!
Without a doubt this was the best doctor visit I've had in a long time. Dr Ali didn't waste time asking useless questions that don't pertain to the visit. He got right to the crux of my problem, gave me a prescription and had me out the door in 20 minutes. He was thorough but I never felt rushed. He kept me smiling even though I was feeling crappy. And the next day one of the staff even called to see how I was doing (I think his name was David). I've never had a doctor's office do that before. I will be going back to see Dr Ali and his friendly staff and will recommend him to all my friends.
We saw Dr Ali at an urgent care clinic in Elk Grove and he saved my husband's life. He quickly diagnosed a life-threatening situation and sent my husband promptly to the hospital for surgery. If it wasn't for Dr Ali, I might be a widow today.
saw Dr. Ali at the ER in Turlock and found someone who was compassionate and thorough. i did not feel that he rushed, but took time to understand my problem. he diagnosed my infection quickly, explained what i needed to do to get better and return to work. exceptional bedside manner

Sebastian Junger—the guy who wrote The Perfect Storm—and Tim Hetherinton were embedded with these young men and keep their cameras on them even though the unit was often involved in firefights on a daily basis. It's intense stuff, and even though some of the footage is staggering, it's not a war movie, or even a war documentary, in any traditional sense.
That's because there's no judgment directed at the war. The circumstances of why they are there or whether we should still be there are unimportant in these soldier's lives.
They simply are there, and they have a job to do, and they do it as best they can. They're shot at. Some of them are wounded. A few of them are killed—the film, like the operating post the platoon set up where much of the footage was shot, is named for a medic who died early on in his tour.
What the film does so well is ensure that it doesn't just capture the fighting, the death and the grieving. The cameras are also with them when they're playing guitar, dancing to bad pop music and just goofing around the way young men do. You get to know them, or at least a side of them, and to relate to them over the course of the film. It's an eye-opening look at the nearly nine-year war. Restrepo, which won the Grand Jury Documentary Prize at Sundance in January, probably won't change your mind about the conflict. But it may make you think about it a little differently.
Daddy Longlegs: A New York dad who gets to see his kids for two weeks every six months has to decide what kind of relationship he wants to have with them.
Great Directors: A documentary that closely examines filmmakers such as Bernardo Betalucci, David Lynch, Agnes Varda, Todd Haynes, John Sayles and others. Question is, where does director Angela Ismailos fit in?

The Eclipse: Not to be confused with the latest Twilight iteration, this romantic drama stars Ciaran Hinds as a single father in Ireland who starts seeing ghosts. It's low-key and well-acted. Screens at 6:30 p.m., Monday, July 19, at the Central Library, downtown. Free.

Predators: Sure, Arnold Schwarzenegger is no Adrien Brody, but when it comes to action movies, Brody is no Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Despicable Me: Steve Carrell voices Gru, an animated master criminal trying to steal the moon—until he meets three little girls who think he might make a better dad than a crook.
The Girl Who Played with Fire: The second film in the massively successful Millennium trilogy gives us more of Lisbeth Salander, the ass-kicking female hacker heroine, and less originality.
Grease: Sing-Along: Is this the one that you want?
The Nature of Existence: Fitting title for the latest documentary from the guy who made Trekkies.
Wild Grass: The latest film from Alain Resnais of Hiroshima Mon Amour fame is about a wallet that is lost and then found, leading to a romantic drama. Ends July 15 at the Ken Cinema.
Cyrus: Mumblecore meisters Jay and Mark Duplass go big-time with a real studio film. John C. Reilly is a sad sack who meets Marisa Tomei, the girl of his dreams. There's only one problem—her 21-year-old son, Jonah Hill, who still lives at home and is a little too tight with his mother.
I Am Love: Tilda Swinton is terrific as the Russian matriarch of a wealthy Italian family who falls for a chef who just happens to be her son's best friend.
I Hate Luv Storys: Romantic comedy, Bollywood-style!
The Last Airbender: M. Night Shyamalan directs a big-screen, live-action adaptation of the hugely popular Nickelodeon animated series. That sounds so wrong. Oh, and it's in 3-D.
The Living Sea: The latest IMAX film at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center looks at all the creepy crawlies that live down in the deep blue.
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse: Blah blah blah Robert Pattinson. Blah blah blah Taylor Lautner.
The Ultimate Wave Tahiti: The latest IMAX entry at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park follows super surfer Kelly Slater as he does his thing on some massive waves.
Grown Ups: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider are a bunch of dumbasses. And they're in a movie together.
Knight and Day: Neither Tom Cruise nor Cameron Diaz has the box-office power they once did, so will a thriller starring the two of them have more or less drawing power?
Winter's Bone: Debra Granik's noir thriller, set in a closed meth-cooking community in the Ozarks, is as intense and grim as its name. It's well-written and well-made and features an amazing performance from Jennifer Lawrence, a 17-year-old who has to find her deadbeat father or she and her young brother and sister will lose their home.

Specially packaged in a custom-made box to ensure your gown is always as beautiful as the first day you wore it.
Size & Fit Details
Luella mermaid gown
Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brandi perfect gown My wedding is in June in Punta Cana on the beach, so I was looking for a gown that was light and airy. After looking in bridal stores I thought I was not going to find what I was looking for. Then I looked at J.Crew Bridal and this gown was what I was looking for. The different layers of the gown makes it beautiful and very flatering. I ordered the dress online, size 4, which is my normal dress size and it fit perfect. February 3, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by pamela summer love, but must be tall and thin I loved this dress in the photo, and the fabric in person was absolutely beautiful in color and drape...but at 5'3", 125 lbs with broad shoulders and a small waist this did not work at all. The length was far too long for a short person, the tiers would be lost with significant alterations. The top portion cut above my natural waist. This could be the perfect dress for a fairly tall and thin figure, and the weight is perfect for the beach or a summer night. This was very comfortable as well, just did not work at all on my body type. June 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by 27eve Just Beautiful! This dress is beautiful! It is light and airy and perfect for an outdoor wedding. The structured bodice perfectly complements the gently cascading tiers. The quality and workmanship is great as well. Note that the dress runs slightly small due to the empire waist fit, and I had to order a size down and it was still a touch large. I did end up returning the dress as it did not suit my wedding venue, but I still wanted to write a review as the dress itself is stunning and I think I will never be rid of a few lingering doubts as to whether I made the right decision to return the dress. On that note, I also want to mention that the J.Crew return process was incredibly convenient and all the associates I spoke with on the phone were nothing short of helpful and understanding. I am really impressed with their sales team, and will continue to be an avid J.Crew customer! May 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Leigh Perfect beach wedding dress I love this dress! To begin with, the ruffles give a airy and ethereal effect to an otherwise classic dress. The fabric itself is light which will be perfect for my beach wedding in July. When I put it on I found it fit me perfectly (it will need small alterations but it's incredibly flattering) I am larger on top (36D) and my waist is my one area that makes me self conscious. This dress enhances the good (bust and arms) while placing a nice flow over the stomach area that I'd rather not be highlighting. I'm 5'7 and weigh 155. This dress suits my body type to a T. Lastly the color is a beautiful cream, which I am excited about because I wanted to be mostly traditional in color choice but think this warmer white is more flattering for me, and it's very elegant. April 8, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by ssbeachgirl Beautiful perfect wedding dress This dress is so beautiful! It runs true to size and is just the most perfect wedding dress!! I was planning on a beach wedding, but changed my mind ....it is still perfect for a summer country wedding too!! It is so fabulous that I plan on wearing it ALL night outside even if it means grass stains BC I won't want to take it off!! I highly recommend it. I did purchase one size smaller the first time and that one just wasn't quite right - but JCrew customer service was flawless and as soon as the larger size was available - it was sent to me ❤❤❤Very happy bride to be May 11, 2015

WIN OR LOSE, there is no question that Notre Dame is back. Just look at their recruiting class.
NOTRE DAME MIGHT be close at the half, but my prediction is Alabama 42 - Notre Dame 10.
AS AN ALABAMA fan, it hasn't been a long wait for me because the Georgia game was so exciting. If they can pull this game out, we can start talking dynasty since there are only nine seniors on this Alabama team.
I DON'T QUITE understand the thought process of the Shanahan's in Washington's loss on Sunday.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH the Redskins home field? It looks worse than the Rockpile!
I SEE WHERE Gettysburg has petitioned to get out of the Mid Penn, and they're just the beginning. The folks at the Mid Penn took on Mifflin County and State College. I'm not against those schools, but it's not in a lot of schools' budgets to make those trips.
I'M A FORMER basketball player at Bishop McDevitt and was wondering why you did not cover the final game at Tracy Hall. Maybe you have something planned for Tuesday. The game was covered, see the PennLive article.
I THINK THE Hershey Bears make it too easy for visiting teams that play at the Giant Center. They need to throw more body checks and play a little nastier. It doesn't take a lot of talent to throw good, clean, hard checks.
HOW CAN all the AHL sports scores from around the league all be late when they play the same time as Hershey?
HALF OF an NHL season is not better than nothing at all. The fans need to show their muscle and boycott.
I'M REALLY TRYING to give your paper a chance, but after three days without sports news, I opened the paper on Sunday and there was not one word about the Packers victory against Minnesota. The game ended before midnight and I just have to say, I'm so disappointed.
MEMO TO Dave Jones, the Patriot News is a sinking ship. You're the best they got, get out while you can.
I DON'T understand why the Patriot News went to three days. I'm one of the unfortunate folks that do not have a computer, so I cannot follow my local teams.
APPARENTLY JEREMY ELLIOTT doesn't know football either, calling Ray Lewis the best ever. There have been many more great linebackers than Mr. Lewis.
IT WOULD really be nice to start seeing the High School sports standings.
AFTER GETTING your first Sunday paper of the new year, I have to give the sports section a grade of very poor. We need the high school results from Friday and Saturday.

Last Call from the Desert…Las Vegas
"What I'm doing here and what I'm trying to do here, I just take it out on the field and compete. Just trust your stuff. I'm getting to the point where I'm too old to think about that stuff. Maybe when I was younger and going for a fifth starter spot. With me, what you see is what it is. If it fits in their bullpen, that's awesome. I'd love to be here. I've had more fun in this camp than the last few combined."
Nate Robertson, who is competing for a spot in the bullpen and has not allowed a run this spring.
Rangers catcher A.J. Pierzynski on rookie pitcher Nick Tepesch, who allowed three runs in five innings against the Cubs on Saturday, "I thought he threw the ball well. Yeah he gave up a home run (to Scott Hairston) but it wasn't a horrible pitch. There was an inning where he gave up a few hits but he wasn't behind in the count. He was ahead. He threw four pitches for strikes. It just didn't work out, but he's definitely not afraid. He definitely wants to attack hitters and be aggressive."
Matt Harrison threw five scoreless innings in a 4-0 victory over the Dodgers on Saturday in Surprise but the big news for the Rangers was Josh Lindblom throwing a scoreless inning. He also struck out two. That's two scoreless outings in a row for a pitcher that club officials are saying privately really needs to step forward for the Rangers bullpen to work.
Ben Rowen pitched a scoreless inning against the Cubs and struck out two. The Rangers are intrigued by what he might have to offer as a submarine-style reliever and manager Ron Washington said he could get opportunities earlier in the game against better hitters.
Washington on losing Kyle McClellan for 3-4 weeks or longer: "It's a blow because we thought he could give us something but now it gives somebody else an opportunity."
The Rangers brought Joey Gallo to Las Vegas as a reserve player and he got to play in front of his family and friends. Gallo went to nearby Bishop Gorman High School and they played their home games at Cashman Field during his freshman year. Gallo went deep out of the Triple A park as a freshman but could "only" double off the wall in center on Saturday afternoon. That wall is 433 feet away and the wind was blowing straight in.
"I was just hoping it would land in," Gallo said. "I knew the wind was blowing in and it was deep. I was hoping it would get off the wall or behind the guy for a double."

Hello. I saw what you wrote on Vivek13's talk page. To me, to one who's being an idiot is you. If you want to discuss something on the Naruto series, search a forum with google, or at best make a blog here.[1] This site is an encyclopaedia, not a blog. Please think about it.--JOA20 (talk) 20:26, November 22, 2013 (UTC)
Just as he said, this website isn't a blog or forum. It's an encyclopedia such as Wikipedia, but for Naruto. Please don't put your opinions on the page with information. Vivek 13 (talk) 20:41, November 22, 2013 (UTC)

By: David E. Gehlke
Currently on their second North American run, Finnish melodic death metal upstarts Insomnium are coming to find what a quality back catalog and increased label support will do on these shores. On their maiden 2007 run in support of Katatonia (Blistering attended the tours stop in Cleveland and was sick as a dog
but persevered), the Finns were still an unknown commodity, even if their firebrand take on the Amorphis-meets-Sentenced sound was starting to boil. This time around, clap-alongs, spirited audience participation, and a cleaned-out merch booth stand to reason that Insomnium are capable of making a success out of themselves in the good ole U.S.-of A. All this, thanks to the strong promotional push of new label Century Media which has aided in the prolonged visibility of their 2011 Across the Dark album. The interview setup with guitarist/clean vocalist Ville Friman was to be on the bands bus, stationed outside of the Altar Bar in the Strip District area of Pittsburgh. For an international band, the Strip provides a unique cultural setting, as various street vendors peddled European foods, along with the visually-disturbing array of Pittsburgh Steeler gear, of which Blistering never fails to give the stink eye to. Fortunately, no member of the Insomnium team was decked out in Yinzer gear, or some serious trouble was to be had. Our chat with Friman went off without a hitch (as youll read below), and was subsequently followed by the deal of the century in the form of a $5 Omnium Gatherum hoodie thanks to OG/Insomnium guitarist Markus Vanhala. Great bargains like this and Finnish hospitality are even more reason for the band to keep coming back
Blistering.com: First things first, how is the tour going? Ville Friman: Its going really well. Were in the middle way of the gigs, with three weeks to go. The shows have been really great and a lot of people seem to remember us, even after five years. People came to see us then and theyre coming back. We have very loyal fans and I think we have a lot of new fans as well. Blistering.com: You were in 2007 with Katatonia, so how does this tour compare to that one? Friman: Naturally, its a bigger audience. We had very good shows back in 2007 and we played a few big venues, but now, everything is bigger. We did that tour in a van and now were sharing a bus with Alestorm, so theres a bit more quality, especially with the US venues, you dont have backstage for all of the bands. Its really nice when you have a bus so you can lay down. Blistering.com: You have the new guy Markus out with you
Friman: Hes very talented, obviously. Hes a great guitar player. We already knew him from when he was filling in for the other Ville [Vanni]. Hes a good guy and fits into the band. I think we have tightened up as a band because it takes some time. We had one European tour and one tour in U.K. and some shows in Asia, and this tour in America; we have a good time and its a lot of fun. Blistering.com: In terms of the guitar parts, very rare is it when both guitar players are doing the same thing. You were always doing something, and the other Ville had something else to do. Is there a good division of parts now with Markus? Friman: We have been dividing them up. With the songs, theres not always one guitarist playing the leads; we mix it up. Markus has his own playing style so he had brought something to give him freedom with solos. He adds his own touch. Its been a good transition; everything has been working fine! Blistering.com: Being on Century Media is a step up for you guys, so how are you managing your personal life with the band? I remember a few members in the band were in school. Have you found the right balance that allows you to do the band when you can? Friman: We cant 100% fully commit to the band and tour 10 months out of the year like Alestorm. We take all of the vacation we can get from work, then we go on tour. Luckily we have the kind of jobs and our employers understand. Theyre supportive and have a positive outlook toward this hobby or lifestyle we lead [laughs]. Century Media is better of course, and they do everything bigger than Candlelight. They also understand our situation, and we also didnt want to rush the album
we wanted to make the best album possible. They were rushing us, but they also understand that theres no reason to put out anything thats not solid. Blistering.com: Generally, Insomnium has been able to stay on the two-year schedule for its releases, but you went off it for One for Sorrow. Did the writing take longer for this one? Friman: The writing didnt take that much time; there were a lot of other things going on. We were constantly doing the band stuff, so it was good to have some time off. Basically, when we came back from the Dark Tranquillity tour in fall 2010, I practically started writing the album after that, so it was a four or five month period of composing the songs. It was a very intense period and I dont remember much of it because I went to work, came back, and went back to work [on the album]. Well probably go to the studio next year, but we dont want to rush it because we could get too tired. And if you get tired, you lose enthusiasm and you lose the whole point of the thing.

MOBILE, Alabama -- The city is getting a bit of national exposure as a strong winter storm continues to pummel the Gulf Coast with sleet.
Al Roker and Stephanie Abrams on The Weather Channel's "Up with Al" show, interviewed Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson earlier Tuesday. The mayor posted the interview on his Facebook page.
Roker called the winter storm a "historic event" for Mobile and wanted Stimpson to provide an update on whether Interstate 10 would be closed to motorists.
Stimpson said the decision would be left to the Alabama Department of Transportation, which has since acquired supplies from the northern part of the state to battle the winter conditions.
"We asked the citizens to stay off the roads," Stimpson told the national weather network. "We're not used to driving in icy conditions. We've asked people to stay home unless it's absolutely an emergency."

Bestiality Joke, Cantor Cluelessness - Is Sen Thad Cochran Losing It?
- published: 16 Jun 2014
- views: 45213
\"Depending on the order in which a pair of interviews with embattled Mississippi Thad Cochran were conducted, the longtime se either didn\'t know, or totally forgot about, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor\'s stunning primary defeat on Tuesday. The story of Cantor\'s loss is no doubt the biggest one to emerge out of this year\'s midterms, and is an unprecedented electoral upset in the history of Congress. It should have a particular resonance for Team Cochran. Cochran is an \"establishment\" Republican who is about to proceed to a run-off election against a conservative, Tea Party-backed challenger, who is running on a platform similar to that of the conservative, Tea Party-backed challenger to took out Cantor earlier this week. Cochran himself came in second in the first round of his primary against challenger Chris McDaniel, but Mississippi rules require the two to face off again in a runoff primary on June 24. So, many were shocked to see Fox News\'s interview with Cochran where he appears to be completely unaware of Cantor\'s loss.\"* Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz (Turner Classic Movies), John Iadarola (TYT University) and Richard Fowler (The Richard Fowler Show) break it down. *Read more here from Abby Ohlheiser / The Wire: http://www.thewire.com/politics/2014/06/sen-thad-cochran-either-didnt-know-or-forgot-about-eric-cantors-loss/372775/...

Syracuse is one of the 15 least "Bible-minded" cities in the United States, according to an American Bible Society study of 100 U.S. municipalities.
An article about the study findings generated a lot of comments from syracuse.com readers about the meaning of the result. Here's a sample:
From orangery: Syracuse has had a history of rejecting the Gospel ever since it was started as a city. All of the great men of God who evangelized and saw citywide revivals found Syracuse to be quite difficult.
While some would see this as a good thing, it truly is not. Ask yourself this question as you see empty, dilapidated buildings, every quadrant of the city turning into slums, violence on the increase, and future bankruptcy looming over us as it did with Detroit: Are we a blessed city? . . .
From Reallynow123: Thankfully many of my fellow CNY'ers are putting their brain cells to use. I don't believe in God for the same reason I don't believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy. No proof, just a bunch of old stories told so often that gullible people believe it. Bottom line is you will never see two atheists killing each other over which God not to believe in. That's reason enough for me to reject such foolishness.
From PHIL 1956: I would imagine any city that has predominately liberal institutions of higher learning would have less interest in any input God should have in their lives. Until they need him! And he'll still be there for them.
From Jack Bauer: The Catholic Church is not as Bible-based as Protestantism. Catholics reject a literal interpretation of the Bible, especially the Old Testament. The stress in Catholicism is theology/tradition, and not Scripture taken out of historical context. Thus, Catholic cities would not stress Bible reading at home.
From DumpDaryl: Syracuse used to have a "Parochial League" Catholic sports conference, but most if not all of those schools, and the churches they were associated with, are gone now. Many mainline Protestant churches around town have also shut their doors. Marx said religion was the opiate of the masses. It no longer is, sports has taken its place. Churches go empty while fans flock to the Dome for basketball games.
From bangzoomalice: Basic human needs -- food, clothing, shelter. When those get met, humans may contemplate the meaning of life.
If the meaning of anyone's life is just getting better food, better clothing and better shelter, those people have their own bibles and their own gods and their own types of worship.
If life is all about "you," all about "here" and all about "now," the word of God is probably not on your reading list.
What's your take on Syracuse's Bible-mindedness ranking? Please leave a comment below.

Globalization & Monetary Policy Institute
International Economic Update
Global Stability Will Require Short-Term Sacrifice
March 29, 2013 · Update in PDF
Immediate risks to the global economy remain concentrated in advanced economies. A prolonged recovery has damaged investor confidence, making financial markets vulnerable to a sudden reversal of capital flows. Doubt stems from the unsustainable government debt that has accumulated in advanced economies. Though fiscal austerity could further dampen growth, it is necessary for long-term stability.
Emerging economies continue to outpace the advanced economies and have become influential contributors to global growth. However, to achieve sustained development, emerging economies will need to strengthen domestic demand, which current fast-paced growth strategies are neglecting.
Financial Markets Respond to Monetary Stimulus
In response to low bond yields, more investors are entering equity markets, causing equity prices to rise (Chart 1). Low yields are a result of investors' risk preference and monetary stimulus. In times of economic uncertainty, investors gravitate away from risk, causing demand for bonds to rise, which negatively affects bond yields. Through government bond purchases, central banks have been able to continue monetary accommodation and aid the recovery in advanced economies. This has caused a further decline in yields.
Attempting to increase returns, investors have developed a higher risk tolerance and an increased demand for equities. The rise in equity demand can stimulate economic growth: As equity prices rise, wealth increases, which spurs domestic demand. However, if the adjusted investment strategy does not accommodate the accumulation of riskier assets, financial distress could result from a decline in equity prices.
Though equity prices have increased, foreign exchange-rate fluctuations support a fall in risk appetite. The U.S. is perceived as a safe haven, so as investors become more risk-averse, they increase their holdings of U.S. dollars, causing the currency to appreciate. The U.S. dollar has appreciated against the currency of advanced foreign economies (excluding Japan) since February (Chart 2). Movement in the Japanese foreign-exchange markets exaggerates investor sentiment. The rapid devaluation of the yen is a result of aggressive monetary stimulus by the Bank of Japan.
Government Austerity Must Accompany Japanese Inflation
To achieve a 2 percent inflation rate, the Bank of Japan expanded its Asset Purchase Program. Following a sustained period of declining prices, the Japanese economy has begun to stagnate (Chart 3). Persistent deflationary pressures have dissuaded private investment, necessitating government expenditures to bolster the economy.
Current-account surpluses have generated domestic funding and enabled persistent government deficits. A large amount of government debt has accumulated in Japan; in third quarter 2012, general government gross debt represented 233 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). However, Japan's current-account balance has fallen to record lows, maintaining a negative balance for three consecutive months, starting in November.
Private savings, once a large contributor to Japan's current-account surplus, is declining due to an aging population. The currency depreciation resulting from the Bank of Japan's asset purchases helps stimulate export demand, but the improvement to net exports has been offset by the rising cost of imports. If a current-account surplus is no longer achievable, the government will be forced to limit expenditures. Negative current-account balances along with increasing interest rates make it more difficult for the government to honor debt obligations. If government expenditures decline, private investment must become a larger contributor to economic growth. Inflationary pressures should facilitate this structural change by providing investment incentives.
Politics Delay Reform in Europe
On March 16, 2013, Cyprus requested a bailout of 10 billion euros to rescue the economy's two largest banks. To secure the bailout funds, the Cypriot government was responsible for generating a payment of 5.8 billion euros, but disagreement arose over the financing method of this payment. With each day that passed without a resolution, banks in Cyprus remained closed and investors grew more anxious. By March 22, negotiations had become strained, prompting the European Central Bank (ECB) to issue an ultimatum. If a resolution was not met by March 25, the ECB would terminate the emergency funding being provided to the Cypriot banks; the resulting financial collapse could force Cyprus to exit the euro area.
To maintain emergency funding, Cyprus agreed to restructure its banking system by closing the economy's second-largest bank, Cyprus Popular Bank, and downsizing the economy's largest bank, Bank of Cyprus. The bailout payment will be financed by the banks' large depositors (those holding more than 100,000 euros) and bondholders. Restructuring the banking sector will be costly for Cyprus. A pronounced economic contraction is expected, but its effect on the euro-area economy should be limited. Even so, the inability to provide a swift resolution has aggravated tensions within the euro area, where political disputes have delayed structural reform.
In Italy, growing opposition toward fiscal austerity has hindered the government's ability to impose the structural reforms necessary to restore economic growth. Italy continues to suffer from high unemployment, though limited progress has been made to mitigate rising labor costs and restore competition among euro-area economies (Chart 4).
With inconclusive elections implying further reform delays, investor confidence has waned. Capital flight from Italy picked up in February, and outflows reached levels not seen since March 2012. If a liquidity strain reemerges and financial aid becomes necessary, stipulations set by the ECB will require Italy to enroll in structural and budgetary reform programs, which would be impossible without a political consensus.
Income Equality Lags Behind Growth in Emerging Economies
Though necessary for structural reform, fiscal austerity restrains economic growth. As a result, underperformance is expected to persist in advanced economies. However, the effect on global growth will be partially offset by emerging economies' increased contribution. Overall activity in the global economy is measured by the weighted performance of individual economies. The emerging economies' combined share of global GDP is expected to surpass that of the advanced economies in 2013 (Chart 5). Thus, global growth prospects will become more hinged on the performance and development of the emerging economies.
Even as leaders of global growth, emerging economies have been unable to catch up to the living standards of advanced economies (Chart 6). Sustained development will require structural transformations that will promote income equality. Export-oriented growth strategies are common among emerging economies because low labor costs allow inexpensive export production. As the standard of living elevates, wages will rise. This will increase the price of exports and eliminate the economy's competitive edge. Increased domestic demand must be able to compensate for the declining growth contribution of the export sector.

"I was either in Miami or Atlanta," said Isom, who was preparing for his only NFL season with the Miami Dolphins. "I was watching the Fiesta Bowl, and I remember most of the plays from that game. But there's one I'll never forget."
How could he? It was the first quarter of the national championship game between heavily favored University of Miami and Penn State. Both were undefeated, but the Nittany Lions had squeezed past a few unheralded opponents that would have been appetizers for the Hurricanes.
Isom's little brother, Ray, was one of two starting safeties for a Penn State secondary that had the daunting task of covering one of the most talented group of receivers in college football history: Michael Irvin, Brian Blades and Brett Perriman.
Penn State, the common wisdom held, had no chance against the U. The Nittany Lions wouldn't be able to move the ball against the brash Hurricanes (that turned out to be correct); Penn State's smallish secondary -- nicknamed the Smurfs -- would be savaged by the swaggering, swift 'Canes.
That turned out to be wrong, and much credit goes to one tone-setting play early in the game.
Miami had the ball on its 21 on its second possession. Miami quarterback Vinny Testaverde fired the ball complete to Irvin at the Miami 44.
Rickey Isom remembers what happened next.
"I'm watching the game, and here comes Raymond," Rickey said. "He just ran through Michael Irvin. When he knocked him out, I jumped up and started screaming, 'That's my boy. That's my boy.' "
Irvin was not knocked unconscious, but he didn't own the ball anymore. Ray Isom, who was just 5-9, 180 pounds and had been mocked by the future NFL Hall of Fame receiver at a chance meeting earlier that week, had violently left Irvin and the ball at different spots on the ground. Isom's fellow safety, Duffy Cobbs, recovered. And the suddenly shaken and baffled Miami receivers played cautiously the rest of the night, a huge factor in Penn State's 14-10 victory.
The result shocked Miami and just about every college fan, which had tuned into the broadcast in record numbers.
But it didn't surprise Rickey Isom. Or his older brother, Marion "Punchie" Isom. Or sisters Lynette and Jemir Isom. Or parents Marion Sr. and Minnie Isom. Or the Buie cousins across the street. Or the Mathis cousins up the street.
No, they knew perfectly well that when Miami swagger intersected with Walnut Street family values more than 22 years ago in the Arizona desert, the U didn't stand a chance.

Late Thursday afternoon I was able to snag about 10 minutes with NBC's Matt Lauer, who for the last several months has been working with the families of Laura Van Ryn and Whitney Cerak, telling their emotional story and how each coped with the outcome.
Lauer promoted tonight's special, which airs from 9-11 p.m. on NBC, by interviewing family members Thursday and again this morning on the "Today" show.
But it's tonight's "NBC Dateline" special that Lauer is moved to talk about. He calls tonight's special "gripping," and possibly the most compelling story he has ever done in his 13 years with "Today."
"This is one of the greatest stories I've ever seen," he says. "It's incredible in the twists and turns; it's almost unimaginable in the tragedy of it, and through it all, these two families are remarkable people. I think they're extraordinary in their forgiveness, their faith and their spirituality."
• Cerak doesn't remember time with Van Ryns
Lauer knows some of this may come off as TV hype, but he says he's sincere in saying that tonight's special is extremely powerful.
"I'm more proud of (tonight's special) than I can think of anything I've worked on here the last 10 years," Lauer says. "It is fantastic, it is gripping...It's really extraordinary."
Lauer said when the mistaken identity story came out two years ago, one of his producers and bookers, Matt Glick, made contact with the families. He traveled to Grand Rapids and Gaylord and spent time getting to know the families. Over time, Lauer says, the families gained their trust and agreed to share their stories exclusively with Lauer and NBC.
Lauer said he also spent countless getting to know the families through phone calls, letters and interviews. He also visited Grand Rapids and Gaylord.
"I told them (on Thursday) as they left the studio, 'I hope you know, I'm honored you decided to let us tell your story,' " Lauer says. "Now that I know them, I honestly feel it's really important for people to get to understand them a little better. And I'm happy, I'm honored, that they chose to allow me to be the one to conduct the interview. I really am. I feel that strongly about the story."
Lauer said the "Dateline" special will feature some real personal information, including a prayer journal kept by Susie Van Ryn and blog entries from Laura's sister, Lisa.
"We make great use of the prayer journal... Mrs. Van Ryan was wonderful in sharing what she wrote on a daily basis," Lauer said. "And some of Lisa's entries in the blog are just amazing."
Lauer said viewers will get to see some poignant moments throughout the special, especially at a gathering in Gaylord of both families. The whole experience "is very moving," he says.
"I'm not a deeply religious person, but I am a spiritual person," he says. "I just said to someone (Thursday morning) as we were getting ready to do the show, 'It makes you want to be even more spiritual and makes you want to embrace your spirituality.' These people have such a positive outlook on life, despite all they've been through, and that's because of their faith."

Burlesque artist Dita Von Teese has filed a lawsuit against her former landlord for making antisemitic remarks - despite the fact that she is not Jewish.
Ms Von Teese said the comments came after she told her landlord she was leaving the property and wanted her £3,200 deposit back.
According to court documents filed in Los Angeles, the landlord "went on Mel Gibson-like antisemitic tangents, personally attacking [Ms Von Teese's] Jewish managers and business managers."
He also allegedly warned her to "beware of Jews" because "in your business no one can do anything without them.
"Jews they have shucks [sic] the whole world dry and still more to come."
Ms Von Teese is perhaps best known for a routine that involved her stripping while in a giant cocktail glass.

There are just 21 more fall camp practices before the Nebraska Cornhuskers kick off the first game of the 2011 season, and here we'll predict the winners of five raging position battles.
If you are like me, you're already getting pumped up for game day in three weeks. But the Huskers are far from ready to play in a game, according to coach Bo Pelini.
Throughout the remainder of fall camp, all players will have their chances to impress coaches and win starting jobs. Nebraska has built remarkable depth at multiple spots during the Pelini era, and there are some positions that are being competed for more heavily than the others.
Those contenders will have to turn on the afterburners during competition in an effort to stand out.
Many may think one of the biggest battles will take place at quarterback between embattled incumbent Taylor Martinez and flashy freshman Brion Carnes, with dark horses in Ron Kellogg III and Tyson Broekemeier.
However, a reportedly rapid maturation process by Martinez has him entrenched as the starter at the moment, and there are five positions that will be even more hotly contested than quarterback during Nebraska's training camp.

After a series of heavy-hitting dramas, including "Brothers," "Rendition," and "Brokeback Mountain," the actor is playing a character straight out of a video game console.
Based on the game "Prince of Persia," Gyllenhaal portrays Prince Dustan, a street kid with a big destiny. He is adopted by a king at a young age and brought up to be a sword-wielding warrior in 6th century Persia. The story follows a royal murder mystery and his adventure with a mystical dagger that can turn back time.
During a recent interview in London, Gyllenhaal was in a lighthearted mood:
Q: I'm presuming you've been offered action roles before, so what was it about Prince Dustan that grabbed you?
GYLLENHAAL: Well, to me the moment I read the first sequence of the movie, which is the siege on Alamut where he's (Prince Dustan) jumping around and lighting things on fire and having a good time doing it, I think that was the moment when I thought, 'there's a sense of humor here.' Here's one of those classic characters that's in the vein of Errol Flynn or Indiana Jones and those are the movies I loved when I was a kid, and I loved watching.
Q: Had you played the video game before? Are you any good?
GYLLENHAAL: When I was 8 or 9 I played the original side-scroller game a lot. And then I took a 20 year hiatus (laughs) and only picked it up when I was doing research for the movie — which was very, very difficult research, it was hard. Three to four times a day I would have to be forced to go and play the video game. People don't really know how hard it is to be an actor and I can tell you how hard it is; it's working out every day and getting paid for it and also playing video games. So it's really been tough, a really tough road (laughs).
Q: Did you enjoy the stunts? It's very different doing them compared with playing the game. I'm actually quite disappointed you're just sitting there and you haven't swung through the window onto a horse.
GYLLENHAAL: That would be an incredible entrance, I would have done that for you if I could have and we had more time. But no, Mike Newell, the director, had a wire attached to my back and he would just control me ... I would do whatever he wanted. Move to the left, move to the right, jump, fight this guy, win!
Q: I want to ask you about the Parkour (free-running) stunts. Are you quite good at that now?
GYLLENHAAL: No, I have to say. I saw this thing on MTV called "The Ultimate Parkour Challenge" ... where they brought in some of the best Parkour athletes in the world. And I watched them do all these crazy things, which was actually semi-disturbing to see because they got injured quite a lot and I just thought 'I've got no idea what I'm doing, these guys are extraordinary.' The fundamentals I do know and I can do things, but ultimately I cannot say I'm a card carrying Parkour athlete. I just try to mimic. I did jumps, I did my own jumps and different things but the dangerous stuff was done by the professionals."
Q: Would you return to the role? Obviously Disney's got the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, too, and this looks like it could run awhile, too.
GYLLENHAAL: Of course, I'd loved playing the role. I loved being a part of the movie. It's an incredible world, so if that were an opportunity, I would definitely take it.
-- Hilary Fox, AP

Valley runners do two-day, all-night Ragnar relay
Twelve young Valley runners raced all day, all night, in the 198-mile Running Relay, part of the Ragnar Relay Series, in Skagit County, Wash., July 19 and 20.
Participants included Danielle Curley, Kami Nicolino, Tom Kirby, Paul Nelson, Dominick Canady, Mari Patis, Richard Carmichael, Hunter Franklin, Jason Hinman, Tyler McBride, Seth Houldridge and Spencer Ricks.
The team started at noon Friday, July 18, and finished on Saturday afternoon. In the relay, in which the team had one runner on the course at all times, the nighttime legs were tough, but sometimes better for the team, says Karen Nelson, mom to Paul, the team captain. This group of runners has been inspired to raise funds as a team, thanks to the event.
"They deserve some props and kudos for all their hard work training and planning, running this course," says Nelson.

Re: "Eggo production waffles," Money, Nov. 19.
Thank you for alerting your readers to the national Eggo shortage! I immediately visited three local grocery stores only to find the freezer cases cleaned out. As panic set in, I envisioned stuffing empty Eggo boxes with homemade waffles to placate my family. A large area box store, however, was stocking its freezer with fresh supply and I scored eight boxes of Homestyle waffles.
While eight boxes will not see my children through next summer when the crisis will be over, it will at least ease the pains of withdrawal while we search for alternative breakfast foods. Please keep an eye out for any news about shredded wheat disruptions.

About the Raymond Weil Jasmine Collection
The Raymond Weil Jasmine collection of watches was launched in 2011 exclusively for ladies and was intended as a tribute to the unmatched beauty of Turandot, the female lead of Puccini's opera. The collection aimed to imbibe the natural beauty and grace of the feminine from.
The Jasmine Collection saw a departure from the regular needle shaped hands to more rounded and curvy leaf-shaped, blue hour hands. This imparted a more feminine look to watch. All the watches in the Jasmine series feature a blooming jasmine flower in the centre of the dial. Another prominent feature of this series is the sapphire lacquer forming the facade of the crown, imparting the watch with the look of a piece of jewellery. The entire Jasmine series uses rounded features, be it the case or the crown, which is reminiscent of the soft and elegant female gender. The more opulent watches in this series are adorned with small yet stunningly brilliant diamonds, and thus make it irresistible to the fairer sex. The strap has been crafted either in leather or stainless steel, each having its own charm. The strap comes in a variety of colours and designs to capture the mood and imagination of women. The dial with Roman numerals has a crystal clear display, owing to the case window being crafted with anti-reflective and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass.
These watches use either mechanical or quartz movement. They are water-resistant up to a depth of 50 metres. A date window at 3'o clock imparts the female connoisseur with the complete view of time.

Gay Football Supporters' Network applauds rainbow laces campaign
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
If all of Man U don't wear rainbow laces, I'm not watching another game this season.
It'll be interesting to see which premier league team wear the most rainbow laces. I wonder if paddy power have got odds on that?
Just don't wear transgender pride colour laces as far as Paddy Power's concerned:
Seems that the Gay Football Supporters' Network are as dim as Stonewall by allowing themselves to be duped by a dodgy insurance company.
It's not even good enough to be an April Fool's joke.
Paddypower mixes headline-grabbing stunts for promotional purpose? Some would think their games a bogey?
I like this…It's a start.. maybe a bit slow but it's a simple and low key way to allow ordinary people, players, officials etc to show support for the gay community, players and officials.
Let it build as one person sees others laces and makes a comment, thinks about it and then hopefully copies them.
It's footballs equivalent to a lapel badge.
Love it. – Thanks
Turn this into a cool fashion item…..win, business, win football, win gay players, official and community.
A cool advert would go a long way sponsored by the football association showing families, friends, gay groups, officials, players, some straight, some gay, like he's my son or daughter as we go to our local game, he or she is my friend as we go to the game, we are a gay football team who meet on Saturdays at the game. and of course mum either with the groups or at home making food for after the game.
A Saturday event.
Just an idea.
And the drinks industry could do the same….before and after the game in groups as a follow on advert to keep the issue alive. Everyone still wears their rainbow laces…
And maybe M&S after that
And the football results on Saturday on TV could use the faded background as the rainbow laces for a while to show their support…Sponsored for Equality in Football..
This really could take on a life of it's own.
Anyone out their work for an advertising agency….please take this idea up.
This would all be great, if it weren't for the obviously antagonistic name of the campaign.
This has really annoyed me. They had the opportunity and the motivation to do something extremely good, and it's been tarnished because of that one pathetic attempt at exploitation by PP.
That's what it is, of course. PP chose that name because of the "nudge wink" comedy value.
I would be "right behind" this campaign, if it were not for the involvement of PP trying to cynically use Stonewall and the LGBT community for their own exploitative marketing.
