Child custody rights may be shared by both parents or, primary child custody rights may be awarded to one parent or legal guardian. Since the 1970s the family court will award child custody rights contingent with the best interests of the child.
Child custody for fathers following a divorce is one of the most important aspects of a dissolving marriage. Throughout history the legal presumptions about child custody for fathers has changed significantly. Before the twentieth century children were regarded as the property of their father. Under common law, child custody for fathers was commonly awarded, as children were considered a father's rightful property. A major shift occurred after this period in history, as family courts came to favor mothers in child custody cases. It was presumed that under normal circumstances, children did better when placed in the sole custody of their mothers.

|Forums: Index → Narutopedia Discussion → Description of a character's appearance
Now I know this has been talked about (at length) on one character's talk page but never in a general discussion. A slight issue is coming up in the way of describing female characters and their bodily development. More often that not, it's with regards to females with bigger breasts than other where it is said "large breasts/bust/bosom "and slender, yet curvaceous frame". I believe that before it gets out of hand we need to come to some middle-ground with regards to how detailed we get with describing the characters.--Cerez365™(talk) 14:01, November 13, 2012 (UTC)
You just took words from my mouth in this post.— UltimateSupreme ƒ(♫) 14:18 UTC, Tuesday, 13 November 2012
Well before X29 gets here with their fear of mammary glands going "....breast", "....breasts" (and I am mocking this person) I'm just gonna say the overkill of control on this wikia is ridiculous. I've been moding wikias for years, and I can proudly say, this wiki is the most overly contolled wikia I've ever seen
Let people write what they want and as long as it's clean and ture, let it go people. This isn't Bible Black but it sure ain't muppet babies here
I camn see why so many people on the fourms refuse to come here anymore --Shock Dragoon (talk) 14:33, November 13, 2012 (UTC)
I personally think describing a character's bust, waist, hips, whatever, since those are the notable "three sizes" for women is fine, especially in the case of people like Tsunade, whose chest has been documented repeatedly in the series. But when it comes to describing body type, things like "Slender, but curvacious" is a bit pointless. Saying a person has a lithe, stout, muscular, scrawny etc. body type is enough, isn't it? We don't have to describe every inch of them. Though honestly Lee comes to mind for someone with a confusing body type. One minute he's flat as a board, but when he went gates against Gaara you could suddenly see every muscle like the guy just went Super Saiyan. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 16:53, November 13, 2012 (UTC)
Overkill? Shock Dragoon, I've never gone to any of the other "big three" wikias and seen any article describing a female character the way we do I don't care how many wikis you've "modded". Yes they speak of their breasts which is very hard to avoid because like it or no, it's a central part of some characters and this is manga where it's prevalent and nearly customary. But speaking about their narrow waist, slender yet curvaceous frames is ridiculously unnecessary and hypocritical- what's next their milky white skin and supple legs? Should we mention that one time where Fū was fighting we saw her vagina print out in her shorts? There are children here reading articles and conservative parents that can monitor everything they do online and while they can take on mention of breasts, the derision into near-perverted details isn't that easily overlooked. The characters that usually get those details are the ones that have big breasts, nobody comes here and says someone has small breasts or no shape or even talks about how male characters have rippling muscles or a smooth athletic body or anything like that so why should such details be made for bustier female characters? Basic mentioning of a person's build should be more than enough.
I'm really annoyed with your post Shock Dragoon. People that have stopped coming here is of 0 concern to us. Is the wikia suffering because of it? No. We're still one of the top wikias so just because you, and the rest of those people won't be allowed free reign to muck up the wikia and they leave, I say good riddance, we have enough trouble here to be getting on with. I bet they still come here to read articles though.--Cerez365™(talk) 09:42, November 14, 2012 (UTC)
Okay this is getting out of hand. I don't know if people are doing it just to taunt X29 or what, but the fact that X is going around taking out single words and lines on female characters' articles is ridiculous, in particular one line which aside from the word curvacious, wasn't doing any harm to the article, this **** has to stop. It's happened on 4 different articles in half an hour. I think until a resolution is reached, everyone just needs to chill and stop editing the female appearance sections. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 06:42, November 15, 2012 (UTC)
I don't see a resolution here. I propose that it's fine if a females breasts are mentioned, since it is, inevitable but that it stops there and doesn't continue on to talking about their slender yet curvaceous frames or any details like that.--Cerez365™(talk) 16:00, November 15, 2012 (UTC)

The atoning sufferings of Christ
Here the sufferings of Christ have another and deeper character. We have before us that great work which is the foundation of all the blessing developed in the other psalms, and of every blessing and eternal glory, making the interest He takes in the saints possible, because it makes it righteous, and the very way of glorifying God. This psalm, as it has been already observed to be a common principle of their structure, gives us the theme in verse 1. Christ had suffered from man from men alike heartless and violent: dogs had compassed Him, fat bulls of Bashan closed Him in. But if the measure of this was extreme, and felt more and otherwise than ordinary sufferings from men because it was wholly unrighteous and for Jehovah's sake, for whose name He suffered reproach; yet others had in some measure borne the suffering of violence and reproach from heartless men too, and for Jehovah s sake. If He in grace was the leader and finisher of faith, others through grace had trodden it was their granted privilege, but His willing grace some steps of that divinely marked-out path. But they trusted in Jehovah and they were delivered. Jehovah never left or forsook them. He had promised He would not. They knew in their consciences that He had never failed in one good or gracious thing He had promised.
A new, unrepeatable scene -- the righteous One forsaken of God
But here was a suffering out of the reach of promise, yea, which was to lay the ground of its righteous accomplishment. It was a new scene, which none had been ever like, nor ever will be, in the history of eternity; which stands alone, The Righteous One forsaken of God. It cannot be repeated a second time; it would have lost its character and the repetition destroy or deny the witness of the first God perfectly glorified, morally glorified, about evil; He has not been, if it has to be repeated. It is once for all, complete and perfect. The nature of God has been made good in testimony, morally, in the universe. How should that be repeated? I say again, if it had to be, neither had done it; but it is done. The divine glory is perfectly, eternally, made good. But for this in respect of good and evil that righteousness and grace, or love, where feebleness and evil are, should be made good all that God is against evil must be verified and made good. Against whom? Who should endure it? Against the sinner it were everlasting misery, nor was love then displayed; what God is, not manifested. But the Lord gives Himself for this; He who was able to bear it, and, in the lowest humiliation of those He took up, to accomplish it in their nature, He bears in His soul all that God is against evil. Tremendous moment!
Righteousness and judgment as felt by Christ the submissive One
It is this alone which makes us in any way apprehend what righteousness and judgment are. This is what is shown to us here. It is shown in the utterance of Christ, showing the fact and His sense of it. What it was in its depths no human heart can fathom. It is the fact which is given here, but as felt by Him. Yet we see the consciously righteous One, but the perfectly submissive One; the sense of His own nothingness as to His position, of the certain and immutable perfectness of Jehovah. He is righteous; He can say, "why?" submissive: "yet thou continuest holy"; no working of will, calling God's ways into question; the clear and perfect state thus, which sees God's perfectness, come what will. For it was the one righteous One who had glorified God in all His ways, an exception from all God's ways in righteous grace with such. He is forsaken, cries, and is not heard. He is a worm and no man. But this could not last for ever, no more than He could be holden of death, having perfectly glorified God in going to the close of trial and awaiting His time. He who was the very delight of Jehovah all through could not be heard till all was accomplished; though more gloriously, and deservedly more gloriously, Jehovah's delight than any living righteousness, though ever so perfect, could claim to be. In that living righteousness He had glorified God about good, perfect in His obedience as man, and perfect in manifesting His Father's name of grace, declaring what God was, cost what it might. The reproaches of those that reproached God fell on Him. But now He glorified God in the place of evil as made sin. This, as we have seen, stands alone. "Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life that I may take it again." There in the place of sin before God, that is, as made sin, yet in that wherein obedience was absolute and perfect in entire self-devotedness to God the contrary of sin where God's righteousness found a motive for love, yet where it was made good in forsaking Him; there the foundation was laid of everlasting righteousness and everlasting blessing; there God perfectly glorified, the foundation laid for the accomplishment of all His counsels in glory.*
{*The more we study the cross, the more we shall see that every question of good and evil was brought to an issue, and the immutable basis laid for perfect blessing according to what God is in righteousness and grace and majesty too, for the new heavens and new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. We come by the blessed testimony that it meets all our wants; but in contemplating it at peace, we see man in absolute sin, hating and rejecting God in grace and goodness; Satan s full power the disciples fled in fear, and all the world else in his power against Christ; man in absolute goodness loving the Father and obedient, glorifying God in the very place of sin where it was needed, and at all cost; we see God in perfect righteousness against sin as nowhere else, and perfect love to the sinner. Innocence was conditional blessing. This is completed in perfectness, and its value can never change. It is everlasting righteousness. Hence the blessing of the new heavens and new earth is immutable. We have had an innocent Eden; a sinful world; and shall have, besides the reign of righteousness, new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.}
God glorified; Christ heard
Then, when the work is complete, the moral work of glorifying God, He is heard from the horns of the unicorn. Man and all around was hidden, by a darkened heaven, from view, when all of God, and of the power, and powerlessness, of evil as against the sovereign goodness and righteousness of God, was brought to this divine issue, and God glorified about it. And all is between the soul of Him who is an offering for sin and the righteous Jehovah. And it was closed. He was perfect, had secured the glory of God, had glorified Him when He could not be heard, and was heard and it was finished. He goes down indeed into the grave, that trusty and irrefutable witness that all was closed of this great question of which death was the appointed witness, but only to rise without one element wanting that the work of propitiation and of glorifying God in respect of sin was completed, and the victory over every and the last enemy fully won. He was heard. Who could call it in question who knew that He was risen? And now what remained? Not sin; it was as regards the work to be accomplished for that purpose wholly and for ever put away as in God's sight though not in full result yet, but perfectly for those who had a part with Him.* Wrath for such? The cup had been drunk. Judgment against the sin, or of the sinner for it, where faith is? He had undergone it. The power of death upon the soul? It was overcome. Of Satan who wielded it? It was destroyed. But there was the full light of the Father's countenance and love, the delight of God in divine righteousness, and for us. Into this relationship Jesus now entered as established there in righteousness on the ground of what He had accomplished to glorify His Father; not merely in the everlasting delight which God had in His Person. Hence it was immutable for those who had a part with Him in this place, and for eternal blessedness in the new heavens and the new earth. The place was won for sinners in the putting away of their sin, and founded on the righteousness of God Himself. Into the full blessedness of this name (that is, true relationship with God revealed according to it) He now entered as man.**
{*And this is known by the Holy Ghost sent down when He had ascended on high. The new heavens and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness will be the full result, while it is the manifestation of the just ground of unbelieving man's final condemnation.}
{**Christ in His lifetime uses naturally the term Father; on the cross, at the close of the hours of darkness, "my God, my God" (in dying, Father, and so before in Gethsemane); after His resurrection, Father and God: one, in His personal relationship and the Father's delight; the other; in divine righteousness, bringing us into it.}
The declaration of the Father's name to His brethren after His resurrection
But He had His brethren those at least, with whom He associated Himself and whom He had at heart first of all after His Father's glory. He was entered into this cloudless place of delight. What remained for His heart was to declare the name which expressed it, and to know which was the being brought into it, to His brethren. "I will declare thy name unto my brethren." And this most precious witness of His love was exactly what He did after His resurrection: "Go, tell my brethren, I ascend to my Father and your Father, my God and your God." Remark, He was heard from the horns of the unicorn. It was on the completing the work, or His subjection of soul to death as divine judgment, that He was heard. When the obedience unto death was complete, hearing became righteous and necessary. The resurrection was the proof to man. But He could say, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit," and deliver it up to Him, and assure the thief he should be that day with Him in paradise.
Judgment executed and passed, followed by wide, outspread blessing on earth
I have already remarked an infinitely important characteristic of this psalm, so opposed to those which speak of Christ's suffering from man: I mean that all is grace no word of judgment. Who was to be judged, when God had been the One to inflict the suffering the hiding of whose face rather was the suffering and the men who had a part in it, believing, had their sins put away by it? It was as to them the judgment, and the judgment executed and passed. Hence what follows is the wide out-spreading of wave beyond wave of blessing and nought else. We may remark, however, that the blessing here is all on earth: so much does the Lord confine Himself to Israel and the Jews in the Psalms. And though we have seen His own resurrection, and we shall see His ascension brought in, and the path of life thus opened up to faith into the presence of God Himself, yet the heavenly place for the saints is not unfolded. We know well that the truths on which the blessing is based carry us farther; but the psalm does not speak of them.
The widening circles of blessing and praise
"In the midst of the congregation will I sing to thee." The remnant then gathered is the first circle gathered into the place of praise; then millennial blessing all Israel. Those that fear Jehovah are to praise Him. Men fear Jehovah, and only fear; but this work makes those that fear praise. Those that feared Jehovah in that day and suffered might take courage, for Christ was their warrant for deliverance and confidence (and could be, having made atonement), but for positive deliverance also; for Jehovah had not turned a deaf ear to the affliction of the afflicted, nor hid His face from him. When He cried, Jehovah heard. He had been for a time there: that had only wrought atonement. And now, heard when that was accomplished, He could assure others of deliverance also. The meek of the earth should now eat and be satisfied, and be at peace. But the blessing would not limit itself to Israel. All the ends of the world would remember themselves, and turn to Jehovah, and worship before Him; for the kingdom will then be Jehovah's. All should bow before Him. Nor was it confined to that generation: to the people that should be born those should declare that Jehovah had done this.
The wonderful work of Christ in psalm 22 as to the outward, the expiatory sufferings on the cross
I cannot, in explaining the Psalms, meditate on the wonderful work on which this psalm is founded. I say founded, because the psalm speaks directly of the feelings of Christ under it, rather than of the work itself. I can only desire that this constant and exhaustless theme of the saint may have all the power on my reader's soul, as upon my own, that poor, but renewed, human beings, even by the power of the Holy Ghost, can be capable of. Our comfort as to peace is that God (as indeed His love gave it) estimates it fully; and, while He has glorified Jesus, has Himself accepted that work for our peace. My part here is to unfold, as well as I can, the structure of the psalm itself. As to the outward sufferings the reader will remark how deep they were. But Christ alone, of all the righteous, must undergo forsaking of God; and, having often declared His confidence in, and intimacy with Jehovah, and taught His disciples to trust in Him, as ever hearing prayer, has publicly now to proclaim that He is not heard, but forsaken. What a tale it tells of what that hour was! But what is important is, as has been already remarked, that His sufferings from man bring judgment on His enemies; His forsaking of God, being expiatory, is a bearing of the judgment, and all that flows from it is unmingled grace. This work being expiatory, once He is heard from the horns of the unicorns, all is grace. A stream of grace flows out for the remnant, then for Israel, for the world, for the generation to come all from the sure and divinely perfect work of atonement in the death of Christ. In the work, in the suffering, He was alone. Once that was finished, He takes His place in the congregation with which He surrounds Himself. Remark how perfect must Christ's knowledge of, and consequent joy be in, the name of God and Father, into the enjoyment of which He entered as man, consequent upon having put away sin, and the delight of God in Him and His work: all that God was against Him then, for Him, according to the virtue of this work, now. How well He must know what the deliverance out of His sufferings on the cross into this light is! Now this is the source of His praise. Such must be the character of ours, founded on the blessed certainty of being come out of the place of sin, death, and judgment, into the perfectness of divine favour. All that is not thus in the spirit of it is out of tune with Him who leads our praises.Synopsis by John Darby

Alicia - from Harlingen, TX
Most cake mixes already include vanilla flavoring, but if you would like additional flavor, you can certainly add more to a mix. Orange and other extracts and flavors can also be added when you are preparing a mix. I suggest you start with small amounts, as some extracts are more concentrated in flavor than others.

Everybody interested in Linux can make it better by contacting the developers of the open-source free software we love so much.
Today I sent off two e-mails:
1) To KDE, telling them about the problem of using the GUI to change Desktop path
2) To Ubiquity, suggesting that the target partition need not be wiped before installing the operating system
I think communication like this is great, developers love to know what's good and what's bad about their software, and they like to hear suggestions.
Here's what I have to say to all my fellow Linux users:
Next time you're using a Linux program, if it falls short, if it's buggy, if you think it could be better, if you have a suggestion, if you think it could do with a new feature... find the e-mail address of the person maintaining the project and send a nicely-worded e-mail.
I'm not talking about complaining. The difference between "complaining" and giving "suggestions" is all about how you word it. Be polite, come across friendly and don't make demands. Instead of saying "it's bullshit that the partition needs to be wiped", say "it would be nice if we had the option of not wiping the partition". And at the end of the e-mail, be sure to compliment the developer on his work: "Awesome program by the way!".
Of course, if you really love a piece of Linux software, you can always just send an e-mail saying "thank you very much your program's awesome", developers will appreciate it. I got one or two e-mails about my Internet Prober program which I really appreciated. One of the guys who e-mailed me even said "it would be nice if the screen didn't get wiped when the program exits", he was polite about it and I appreciated it. (By the way I'm working on a GUI for Internet Prober... it's gonna be transformed entirely...).
So don't just sit around moaning about a piece of Linux software wishing it could be better, send an e-mail! Make a To-Do list beside your computer of developers you need to contact!
If you're shy and worried about how the developer will take it, you can always make a new e-mail account with the name Monkey Dishwasher and send the e-mail through that. I mean what's the worst response you're gonna get: "F*** off who are you to question my programming". If he responds like that he's an a**hole and deserves all the abuse he gets.

close, this doesn't deserve it's own thread.
h34r: h34r: h34r: h34r: h34r: <_< <_<
Lol. This is a funny thread. I thought I was the most toy writer here, but you need a definition of a blackbook. Pshhh.
Ha. Anyways, I had to get like 8 spirals for school, and they only asked for 2. So now I have 6 spiral notebooks lyin around. So I use those mostly. I do have a blackbook, but I'm only just now writin in it. I carry around my spirals, not my black book.
I think I'm gonna do somethin similar to what a guy on the first page said and I'm gonna fold some paper and make a mini bible. That way I can carry that around and not look suspicious when I glance at it for help on my bombs/pieces.
Just do whatever. I grab some paper from my printer and use that when I want some legit lookin art. Than I shove the paper in my portfolio. (a cheap ass folder)
I suggest you get a portfolio, too. For when you do a tight-ass sketch on some paper and you want to be able to show it off later. They're pretty nice to have around imo.
maybe i didnt understand you correctly but if you bring ANYTHING with you that you have written on when you go bombing that is one of the stupidest things you can do, if you get arrested and they find that on you they'll look for other shit like it and book you for that too same goes for cell phones with pictures and digital cameras, if i just misunderstood my badOriginally posted by City@Nov 18 2005, 10:27 PM
i will actualy answer his question, instead of bieng a postwhore
I have 2 black books.
My 1st one is just a composition notebook, i just scetch in it while im at home or where ever.
Then Some guy gave me a Mini bible thing, and I cut out all the pages, and put some blank paper in it, and made a makeshift notebook kinda. And when i go out to tag, i just take a look at my mini blackbook. Its about 2 x 3 or 4 so its relitively small. I just put my tags in there.
Thats what i use. And lol made of paper
I use a hardbound sketchbook just for convenience, it's kinda nice to be able to open it up and flip through looking at your past work instead of just having a bunch of papers around everwhere..
Good for you. I use note paper. Rich bastards. And when you run out just flip the pages over and use the other side
lol. The cheap mans 'white' book. lol
Never thought of the cops checkin my books for other work. Nice catch. I'm not gonna bring a mini bible. Maybe I'll bring a folded piece of paper with that single bomb on it. But not a bunch of my tags/throw-ups/bombs/pieces. And who cares if they take that piece. They already know you write that. They caught you doin it.
yeah but if you bring a whole book you lose all your sketches, just bring a piece of paper with the sketch you want and use that sketch to bomb, theres no need for all those other sketches.
Yeah, thats what I was just thinkin. You'd have to ditch the book if they caught you and than YOU couldn't find it. Ya know? So I'll just bring ONE sketch of the bomb I'm planning on doing.
Its just... what if you don't know what bomb you want to do. Like... what if a certain one would look best on a certain wall? Than you'd have to wait until next time.
plan it out..
Well in my own idea i just use a nice 70 page MEAD notebook.
It was like 75 cents at the dollar store.
ive never purchased a ''blackbook'' in my life, an i got about 20 layin around my room, an it doesnt gotta be a damn "BLACKBOOK" to keep ur art in it, get ne notebook or what ever u want

Valentines Day is one day that it doesn't hurt to ignore your partner if they tell you to forget about it. In fact, it's a rare occasion when ignoring your partner is recommended.
Most of us know it's a marketing gimmick. Last year, Australians spent around $900 million on the day. But, an excuse to get romantical has got to be a good thing.
For thousands of years February 14 has been a day to celebrate love, sex and procreation. In ancient Rome it fell in the midst of an annual fertility festival. Young men would strip naked and use goat- or dog-skin whips to spank the backsides of young women in order to improve their fertility.
If that's not quite your (or your beloved's) idea of romance, there are the more traditional ways to mark the day, such as a romantic getaway, chocolate, lingerie, flowers, jewellery and dining out.
You can tweak the traditional ideas as well by going to a chocolate-making class, instead of buying the stock standard box of chocolates, for instance. Try strewn flower petals leading down the hall to a candle-lit living room for an indoor picnic or go to a great gig and make her wear your lingerie gift underneath her clothes to add a touch of spice to the night.
Your display of love needn't be cheesy or expensive. Most women will be touched by any gesture that shows thought - a beautifully written letter, a massage, or a meal made with love and care. You can even break the pleasure-giving budget and do all three.
There are, of course, other options for celebrating and showing a little love and appreciation.
Remember that one person's poison is another's pleasure, so to aim an arrow straight to the heart tailor your gift to suit the personality and interests of your sweetheart.
Our guide provides ideas that are a little classic, a little sweet and a little bit risqué.

Kate Middleton 'disappointed' by invasive bikini baby bump photos
(Yahoo!) - Once again, Kate Middleton's privacy has been violated while on vacation.
On Wednesday, Star magazine published bikini photos of the four-months-pregnant Duchess of Cambridge frolicking with Prince William on the beach in Mustique - the first glimpse of her bare bump!
The tabloid's accompanying headline claims "Kate Shows Off Her Bump!" – but she clearly had no idea she was being secretly photographed.
And just like the previous time she and her husband were secretly snapped on the beach (when she was topless!), these new photos were obviously shot with a long lens, evidenced by how super grainy they are.
Regardless of their quality, the Palace is understandably upset.
In a statement, the royal family expressed that they are "disappointed that photographs of the Duke and Duchess on a private holiday look likely to be published overseas. This is a clear breach of the couple's right to privacy."

Ghana-Nigeria Jan. 2010
People don't like to travel on New Years day. That's why I managed to score a cheap last minute ticket to Ghana and left NYC in the early afternoon of January 1st on a direct flight to Accra.
I arrived in the early morning of January 2nd. My friend Ken had already plugged a large "Records Wanted" advert in the biggest, national newspaper for that day and I hit the ground running. Only minutes after depositing my luggage at the hotel, Ken and I were already sitting in a taxi, speeding towards the first piles of records.
After a few days in Accra, we left for Kumasi, Ghana's second largest city in the Ashanti region from where we had received a lot of calls. On our way back, we stopped for a visit at Kwaho Bepong, a beautiful small town located on a plateau, not far from the Volta river. We had received a serious call from there and scored a large collection of incredibly well preserved afrobeat, funk and some seriously deep highlife. Not only on LP but also on 45. Finding good 45s is very rare and always a cause for celebration. We went to a small village in the bush and bought a fresh caught grasscutter (also called cane rat) which we had prepared for us on the spot over and open fire. Later, on a nightly scroll along the Volta river, a large praying mantis landed on my hand, traditionally a sign for good luck!
We stopped in Accra for only another 2 days and then chartered a car to bring us to Takoradi, a coastal town in the West the niece of legendary musician CK Mann had called us and set up a meeting with her uncle. On our way back, we stopped by Cape Coast, picked up some more vinyl and back in Accra met with another living legend: Pat Thomas who as I had hoped for gave us some clues about the whereabouts of the members of the mythical funk band Marijata. The subject Marijata shall remain on hold for now until sometime later this year.
On January 17th I took a plane to Lagos where I met with my friend Damian and together we went on a journey to Enugu where Damian had located a warehouse full of records. He had sent me pictures of the place and I couldn't wait to get there. The region prepared for local elections and the atmosphere was tense. Kidnappings were at an all time high and there were a lot of rumors about armed robbers randomly stopping buses on the highway, robbing people and taking hostages. We had no trouble reaching our destination and on the evening of the first day, when I was sitting outside the hotel, enjoying the evening sun and a couple of Star beers, some military type guys came up to me and told me they were concerned about my safety and would therefore set up a road block directly outside the hotel...
Just like I had seen in Damian's pictures, the warehouse was filled with records. Literally. The entire place was flooded about one to two meters high with mostly 45s, some LPs and even old 8-track tapes. No shelves, not even boxes, just records. You will have to check out the pictures below and you will understand.
We hired three helpers who cleaned out a narrow path alongside one wall by piling records into boxes and dragging them outside for us to sort through them. The warehouse belonged to a record label and distributor and about 95% of all the vinyl consisted of the label's own releases, for the most part highlife and folklore. We made sure to leave a good stack of every single release in the big shelf that stood in the middle of the mess and then just threw the rest of all these undesirable 45s onto a huge pile in front of the building. After half a day, the path was cleared down to the floor and we were able to dig ourselves through the rest of the place, from one end to the other.
The result wasn't huge but I walked away with a good stack of killer 45s including a whole bunch of stuff that I had never seen before, mostly Nigerian releases but surprisingly enough also some Ghanaian stuff.
Once we were done with this place, we took a bus back to Lagos where I spent the remainder of my stay checking up on various local record dealers. Then I took a plane back to Accra from where Ken and I followed up on various leads all over Southern Ghana.
Constantly being on the move made the time pass very fast and before I knew it, the month was over. My plane back to NYC left on January 31st and now I'm busy cleaning myself through piles and piles of fresh African vinyl. One thing is for sure: This wasn't my last trip to Africa for this year!
Here's a new mix featuring the best 45s from this trip.

MONTREAL -- According to Canadian doctors, playing the Tetris videogame is an effective way to treat lazy eye. A team at McGill University (Montreal) discovered that the popular tile-stacking puzzle can train both eyes to work together.
In a small study involving 18 adults, published in Current Biology, Tetris worked better than conventional patching of the "good" eye to make the weak one work harder. Next, researchers plan to test if it would be a good way to treat children with the same condition. UK studies are already underway. An estimated one in 50 children has lazy eye, known medically as amblyopia.
Tetris was originally designed and programmed by Alexey Pajitnov in the Soviet Union. It was released on June 6, 1984. The game's name is derived from the Greek numerical prefix tetra -- all of the game's pieces contain four segments -- and tennis, Pajitnov's favorite sport. It was the first entertainment software to be exported from the USSR to the U.S. Atari sold it as an arcade game in the 1980s.

Damian Lillard returned to Utah on Monday night and made NBA history.
Lillard, the former Weber State star, broke the record for 3-point baskets by a rookie during the Jazz's 112-102 victory over Portland at EnergySolutions Arena.
With 6:17 left in the first quarter, Lillard took a pass from Nicholas Batum and made the 167th 3-pointer of the year.
The old record was set by Golden State's Stephen Curry in 2009-10.
"That's an honor to be able to do that, in my first season," Lillard said. "But I wish I would have done it in a win. So it's bittersweet."
Noting the record he broke was set only three years ago, Lillard added, "I think now, in the league, guys shoot a lot more threes than they did in the past. So it takes away a little of the significance. But it takes a good shooter to be able to do it and I'm happy I was able to."
According to Portland coach Terry Stotts, Lillard's accomplishment puts another exclamation point on a sensational season.
"I'm happy for him," Stotts said. "It's something to be proud of anytime you set an NBA record. There have been a lot of rookies in this league and that 3-point line has been in since '79. So that's impressive."
One year ago, Lillard had just finished his collegiate career at Weber State. He was awaiting the NBA draft, where he was the eventual No. 6 overall pick.
The dizzying speed of his journey to a likely Rookie of the Year award makes Lillard shake his head.
"It kind of blows my mind how fast things happen," he said. "It seems like I was just [at Weber State] and now I've played almost a whole NBA season."
Before the game, Lillard greeted a handful of Wildcat fans, including his former coach, Randy Rahe.
"It was good to see a lot of familiar faces," he said. "But, like I said before, it's bittersweet to come here and lose the game."
Lillard did his part.
He scored 17 points, handed out five assists and grabbed five rebounds.
Still, Portland lost its fifth straight game by allowing Utah to shoot 54 percent.
Asked about the Blazers' effort, Lillard said, "I thought it was up-and-down. Defensively, we weren't nearly as consistent as we needed to be." • Ex-Weber State star Damian Lillard breaks the NBA record for three-pointers by a rookie.
• Lillard has 17 points, five rebounds and five assists, but the Jazz defeat Portland, 112-102.
• The loss was the Trail Blazers' fifth straight and dropped them to 1-3 against Utah this season.

Saying "There is no way I could be part of this," Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o portrayed himself as a victim late Friday in an interview with ESPN about the revelation that his supposed girlfriend who died of leukemia never existed.
Te'o did admit he stretched the truth to his father and reporters, intimating he had met her in person, because he feared the embarrassment of admitting he had never actually met someone he was so invested in.
The Heisman Trophy runner-up broke his silence two days after the website Deadspin reported the hoax with a 2 1/2-hour off-camera interview with ESPN reporter Jeremy Schaap at a training center in Bradenton, Fla.
The station supplied quotes from the linebacker but did not provide audio clips during its initial 9:45 p.m. report.
Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, the Palmdale man alleged to have duped Te'o, apologized for the hoax, Te'o also told the network.
The network reported Thursday that Tuiasosopo confessed last month to the hoax. A friend of the former Antelope Valley and Paraclete high quarterback told ESPN he'd called her in early December crying, and fessed up to tricking Te'o.
"He (Ronaiah) told me that Manti was not involved at all, he was a victim," the woman in her 20s told the network's "Outside the Lines" on Thursday under the condition she not be identified. "The girlfriend was a lie, the accident was a lie, the leukemia was a lie.
"He was crying, he was literally crying, he's like `I know, I know what I have to do."'
She said he told her what was at first "a game" on the unwitting Te'o "got serious." She also said Tuiasosopo confessed that he and two other cousins - a man and a woman - participated in the hoax.
"It's not only Manti," she told ESPN, "but he was telling me that it's a lot of other people they had done this to."
Tuiasosopo's friend told ESPN that Tuiasosopo admitted to having his female cousin speak to Te'o over the phone.
ESPN interviewed two other people who said they have a cousin who had the same online hoax pulled on him by Tuiasosopo.
J.R. Vaosa, 28, of Torrance, and Celeste Tuioti-Mariner, 21, of Whittier, said that the cousin showed Vaosa a picture on MySpace of a woman from a Victoria's Secret catalog that he said was Lennay Kekua, the supposed girlfriend.
Vaosa said the online Kekua agreed to meet his cousin at certain places. Vaosa said he went with the cousin to meet her.
"When Lennay said she was gonna be at this park one day, we'd go to the park and Ronaiah pops up, and then we go to the gym in Orange County where the kids have volleyball tournaments, Ronaiah's there," he told ESPN.
They persuaded Vaosa's cousin to cut things off, not only with Kekua, but Tuiasosopo, who they were convinced was the real Kekua, Tuioti-Mariner told ESPN.
Then this fall, Vaosa and Tuioti-Mariner - who played volleyball this school year at El Camino College - saw the story of Te'o's dying girlfriend and tweeted their suspicions.
After Deadspin.com broke the story on the Te'o hoax, they say threats were made to them and their families on Twitter.
Also Friday, Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said the school had encouraged linebacker Te'o to speak publicly - and soon - about being the victim of the hoax.
Swarbrick said during the taping of his weekly radio show, which airs regionally on Saturday but was posted online as a podcast on Friday, that Te'o should explain exactly how he was duped into an online relationship with a woman whose "death" was then faked by the perpetrators of the hoax.
Swarbrick added that before Deadspin.com broke the news with a lengthy report on Wednesday, Te'o and his family had planned to go public with the story Monday.
"Sometimes the best laid plans don't quite work, and this was an example of that. Because the family lost the opportunity in some ways to control the story," he said.
Late Friday, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported that Te'o told family members that the voice claiming to be his late girlfriend contacted him in December, saying she had faked her own death to escape a drug dealer who was after her.
Daily News Staff Writer Dana Bartholomew and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

February 28, 2008. This is a one of the near-monthly letters Dr. Lockwood sends to donors and alumni. See more archives here.
Throughout my twenty-eight years at Multnomah, one thing always inspires wonder: that the Word of God—living, active, sharper than a double-edged sword—shapes and sharpens lives in miraculous ways.
Just Ask Bruce
In fact, that is why students enroll here. Just ask Bruce, one of my students in Grad Theology. Retired, an empty nester, and a committed churchman, Bruce, along with his wife Cathy, travelled to Multnomah from Paradise, California. "For years, I've known Multnomah's reputation for teaching the Bible," Bruce says to me, "and that is why I'm here."
Bruce is a man of deep, genuine faith who served in his local church in many ways. But, approaching sixty years of age, Bruce discovered something was missing. "In a nutshell," he admits, "I realized I was biblically illiterate! Sure, I knew enough of the basic doctrines of the Bible to function, but I hungered to know the deeper things of the Word, to wrestle with the great issues of the faith, and to forge my own positions as a result of personal study."
Into Leadership With No Training
Perhaps what alarmed Bruce most was that he—and scores of others like him—are thrust into positions of leadership without really understanding the fundamental things of God. So, he seized the opportunity to study at Multnomah to fill this spiritual void. "For years, I've been told what to believe," he remembers. "Now, for the first time, I am beginning to discover what I really believe and why."
By his own admission, Bruce, in the first year of a two-year MAPS program, will never be the same. And it is Multnomah's unique blend of biblical knowledge applied to the spiritual issues of life that drives this. "Multnomah's professors push me to ask the tough spiritual questions," Bruce explains, "like 'What is the condition of your soul?' For decades, I have longed for this direction!"
There is nothing more exciting—and rewarding—that this: to see how the Word of God transforms minds and hearts of men and women who will, in turn, change the world.
Rejoicing in life-change,
Daniel R. Lockwood

Introducing principles we can all use, as well as a riveting collection of case histories - stroke patients cured, a woman with half a brain that rewired itself to work as a whole, learning and emotional disorders overcome, IQs raised, and aging brains rejuvenated - The Brain That Changes Itself has "implications for all human beings, not to mention human culture, human learning and human history." (The New York Times)
©2008 Norman Doidge; (P)2008 Brilliance Audio
"Fascinating. Doidge's book is a remarkable and hopeful portrait of the endless adaptability of the human brain." (Oliver Sacks)
"Readers will want to read entire sections aloud and pass the book on to someone who can benefit from it....Links scientific experimentation with personal triumph in a way that inspires awe." (The Washington Post)
"Amazing & Wonderful"
This is a book for people who enjoy scientific theory and the exploration of concepts related to anatomy and physiology. It examines how the brain works, changes, grows and repairs itself. It presents thoughts about how the brain evolves throughout life--involving neuroplasticity, aging, illness and injury. Thirty plus years ago it was thought that the brain and nervous system were static--once injured always injured. How exciting it is to see how this thinking has evolved. To me it was a hopeful, insightful, and fascinating listening experience.
"Worth reading"
As someone who had 4 massive strokes at age 25 I had to fight to get back all that I have. I was told just 7 years ago that after 3 months my recovery was done. That was it. When you're in that situation you can either accept it or not, I chose not to accept it. Neurologists are all amazed as to what I got back. So I love this book, it might not matter to you in your life but if you know someone's who has had a severe brain injury, all you can tell them is to keep trying. Don't let the doctors tell you to give up, don't accept it. Keep trying! Let's see how many doctors we can confuse, lol. There's one thing that everyone can accept about the brain and that is we know nothing about it. So good job Dr. Doidge.
"Perfect Timing"
It is great to know that those with brain injuries, abnormal brain development and boomers move into the later stages of life can take control of their mental health. It is a fascinating subject. We learn that many ideas held about the brain are being proved false. Read, learn and be empowered. Oh yeah, there is also a sales pitch in there,,,,
I focus on fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, science, history, politics and read a lot. I try to review everything I read.
"Change your Brain"
I rated this 5 stars because, in some ways, this is a 5 star listen even though it sometimes goes off the rails.
The main point of the book is that until recently it was believed that the brain was largely hard-wired and could not heal and there is new research showing the brain can indeed heal, changes physically in response to environment, and can re-organize itself in response to sensory changes (blindness, deafness, paralysis, etc.) In 2008 there was still significant resistance to the studies demonstrating neuroplasticity, but since that time neuroplasticity has become much more widely accepted.
The book sometimes becomes a bit bombastic in its promotion of neuroplasticity, but then it self corrects pointing out neuroplasticity is responsible for both great positive and negative changes depending upon the circumstances. Some of the predictions are overly optimistic and many of the stories are antidotal.
Nevertheless for those unaware of the research into neuroplasticity, or just want to hear interesting stories about people who have improved their lives by changing their brains, or if you are not sure you can alter your own behavior, this is a great book, and worth my 5 star rating.
But, there are a few things I found not quite so great.
There is an odd long passage on the dangers of internet porn, which delves into long graphically explicit details of sadomasochism. The author seems to fear internet porn will (literally) warp the brains of young Americans altering them into perverts. This does not worry me too much. This whole section just oozes with Freudian overtones.
The author is an odd mix of classical Freudian psychotherapist and neuroplasticity researcher and this book is peppered with various bits of Freudian language and ideas that have little or nothing to do with neuroplasticity. I found much of this material outdated, and in any case, it was off topic for this book.
The narration, although not at all bad, is a bit to bombastic for my taste.
"Text book"
Very informative. A must for scientific minds. Much like a text book on the brain in its scientific feel. Focus on brain damage and defects repair. Would have been more interesting if there were more examples of how normal brain people can use this research to strengthen their brains.
Old & fat, but strong; American, Chinese, & Indian (sort of); Ph.D. in C.S.; strategy, economics & stability theory; trees & machining.
"Very Important"
The basic thesis of the book is that the brain can be radically rewired through experience. That this can happen until shortly before the point of death and that this is the norm has only very recently been accepted as a mainstream view in science. This book is probably the first good survey of this revolutionary new understanding.
The book is entertaining more than scientifically rigorous. That doesn't mean that the basic thesis of the book is scientifically suspect (it is not), just that the book doesn't attempt scrupulous rigor.
It contains sections on the formation of sexual fetishes that make for slightly creepy reading and sections on psychodynamic that are probably pretty speculative. But it also contains truly inspirationally stories of recover from stroke and other misfortunes.
"Amazing Stuff"
This is an important book for anyone close to or
responsible for another person who has suffered
brain injury. I am such a person. The old
beliefs about the brain being the only major organ
in the body incapable of self repair is still held
by too many so called professionals who have medical or rehab contact with these people, not to mention everyone else. I have believed differently for some time, now, but this
is the first place I have seen the idea of
"neuroplasticity" laid out in an understandable
manner for everyone to see.
Some parts of the book, itself, were better than others and it sort of fizzled out, at the end.
The narration was fine. Not too long and pretty
clear. A good starting point for one's research.
If you are or know someone with brain injury, no matter
what caused it, and you are not familiar with
the ideas and facts related to the neuroplastic
nature of the human brain, this is a must read.
"Blew my mind"
This book is a comprehensive survey of evidence in the realm of neuro-plasticity... the ability of the brain to change. I really enjoyed this book, and found it to be profoundly mind-opening. However, the chapter on psychoanalysis was a little sketchy. Other than that, a great book that lights the way for neuroscience for the next decades.
"Surprisingly enlightening"
I'm very interested in the subject matter, but I was afraid this would be too dumbed-down and oversimplified. I was skeptical that it would enhance my knowledge of the brain.
I was pleasantly surprised by the detailed characterization of mental plasticity. This is definitely one of my favorite audiobooks.
I also think this goes well together with Jeff Hawkins' "On Intelligence" audiobook.
My Opinion's for your review, Thank You!
"Interesting information on brain activity"
I enjoyed this book because it was not hard to follow. The case studies were quite interesting and reviling on how the brain can heal itself through the will of the individual of said brain. To me it shows what faith, will power, and action can accomplish. There is uncomfortable subjects and information in the book but i felt it showed the positives of brain power more then the negatives. Cool Book.

Thanks to recent improvements in insulation and compressors, today's refrigerators use much less energy than older models. With an ENERGY STAR certified refrigerator, you can maximize your energy and dollar savings without sacrificing the features you want.
Slash your energy bills.
ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators are about 9 percent more energy efficient than models that meet the federal minimum energy efficiency standard.
Replace your old fridge for bigger savings.
An estimated 170 million refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers are currently in use in the United States. More than 60 million refrigerators are over 10 years old, costing consumers $4.4 billion a year in energy costs. By properly recycling your old refrigerator and replacing it with a new ENERGY STAR certified refrigerator, you can save more than $270 over the next 5 years.
Use the ENERGY STAR Savings Calculator to find out exactly how much money you'll save by replacing your existing refrigerator.
Protect the environment.
ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators use less energy and help us reduce our impact on the environment. If all refrigerators sold in the United States were ENERGY STAR certified, the energy cost savings would grow to nearly $700 million each year and 9 billion pounds of annual greenhouse gas emissions would be prevented, equivalent to the emissions from more than 870,000 vehicles.
Current Specification Effective Date: September 15, 2014
Refrigerators originally qualified for the ENERGY STAR label in June 1996. ENERGY STAR certified refrigerators are about 9 percent more energy efficient than models that meet the federal minimum standard for energy efficiency.
Refrigerators and Freezers Key Product Criteria: ENERGY STAR
What else should I look for when buying a refrigerator?
Ask for an ENERGY STAR model.
When buying a refrigerator, request an ENERGY STAR certified model to ensure it is energy efficient.
Check the yellow EnergyGuide label.
Use this label to determine the model's energy use, compare the energy use of similar models, and estimate annual operating costs. Learn How to Use the EnergyGuide Label.
Consider buying a refrigerator with a top-mounted freezer.
A top-freezer refrigerator that has earned the ENERGY STAR uses less energy than a 60-watt light bulb.
Purchase an appropriately sized refrigerator.
Generally, the larger the refrigerator, the greater the energy consumption. The most energy-efficient models are typically 16-20 cubic feet.
Consider retiring the old refrigerator in your basement or garage.
Refrigerators over 10 years old could be costing you about $110 per year to run. If you need a second refrigerator year round, replace the old one with a new ENERGY STAR certified unit and save about $55 a year in operating costs.

What do you do when your children are bored or over-tired?
I was just reading this article about how to survive the day with over-tired children. I think there are many great points mentioned throughout the article. I can admit to using the TV sometimes, but we also do other things, as well. My children enjoy playing with play-dough or clay, and I have heard that there are recipes to make your own, although we have not tried that yet. We also do keep toys in boxes, so we can switch them out every so often. The children enjoy playing with toys that seem like new to them, since they have not played with them in a while. Sometimes going outside and just running around helps, but I agree that sometimes it is important to have the children do something purposeful, such as playing a game or drawing with chalk.

Drawing with chalk is a big one in our house, we have huge chalkboards in the children's rooms that were made using chalkboard paint. If they happen to go a little overboard and draw on the walls, the beauty of chalk is that I just have to wipe it off with a wet rag.
We also play with homemade clay dough outside, play with toys, and I will admit sometimes I put them all down for a movie. Of course, when they are more than just bored and genuinely crossing over into tired, I put them down for a nap or mandatory quite time (which usually ends up with them falling asleep). It is also important to make sure they aren't just hungry/acting out due to low blood sugar. So, a snack is a smart choice as well.

Mom2many--would you mind sharing your recipe for homemade clay dough? Also, have you found that the chalkboard paint works well? I considered buying it at one time, but I read some negative reviews, so I was not sure if it was worth it or not.

Hi Jessica,
Here's my favorite clay dough recipe. You keep it in the refrigerator so it stays a bit fresher. I love it and it smells really good!
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
2 (4 g) packages unsweetened powdered drink mix (orange and grape work best)
2 cups boiling water
3 tablespoons oil
1. Combine flour, salt, powdered drink mix until blended.
2. Carefully add oil to boiling water
3. Add to the flour mixture and mix with spoon until cool enough to knead.
4. Continue kneading until color is blended.
5. Store in air tight bag or container in the refrigerator
My boys love it, which reminds me, it's probably time that I make a new batch of it

The biggest sporting news over the weekend wasn't the US upsetting Canada in hockey or that Tiger Woods came out to publicly apologize. The biggest news out of the world of sports was the fact that Joe Mauer reported to Twins Camp with a full beard. Finally, Mauer found a way to silently protest the fact that he doesn't have a contract extension yet. Mauer's sideburns have been one of the most marketable items for the Twins since he entered the league. The Twins have had Mauer sideburn day at the Dome and a Twins Territory commercial about his famous facial hair. So take that slap in the face Twins. Give Mauer a contract or there won't be any sideburns to market at Target Field.
Thank you Mauer, for finally standing up for the contract that you deserve. All of Twins Territory should start the "No Contract, No Shave Campaign." Everyone should help Mauer protest until his new contract is signed on the dotted line. An added bonus is the extra facial hair will help with the blustery weather at Target Field. It sounds like Mauer is going to shave off the beard this morning, but Twins Fans can help to push the Twins to sign him. I hope to see Target Field full of beards for Opening Day, unless a new contract is signed for Mr. Mauer.
Here is a look at some of the best facial hair in the history of MLB:

Saturday, July 18 2009 - Legal Response to 9/11
Judge: Airlines can't question FBI in 9/11 suits
By Harry R. Weber (AP)
ATLANTA -- A federal judge ruled Thursday that airlines and other companies in the industry that are being sued by families of terrorism victims can't question FBI agents about the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
The defendants wanted to depose the agents and sought access to other evidence related to the investigation of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in order to show at trial that the government's failure to catch the terrorists and prevent the attacks mitigates and excuses any alleged fault on the aviation companies' part.
The government objected.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein in New York said the defendants have also argued that the terrorists likely would have succeeded even if the defendants had exercised due care.
"The issues to be tried relate to the acts and omissions of the aviation defendants, not the government," Hellerstein wrote in his ruling. "The government's failures to detect and abort the terrorists' plots would not affect the aviation defendants' potential liability."
There was no immediate comment from the defendants or their lawyers. Spokespersons for UAL Corp.'s United Airlines, AMR Corp.'s American Airlines and US Airways Group Inc. declined to comment. Lawyers for several airlines did not immediately return calls seeking comment. Other defendants include Delta Air Lines Inc., Continental Airlines Inc., AirTran Airways, Boeing Co. and several airport authorities and security companies.
The judge said he plans to set a trial date for the lawsuits involving three wrongful death cases and 19 property damage cases on July 28.
Many relatives of victims of the attacks received money from a special national fund established to compensate victims' families, though some relatives chose to sue instead.
The lawsuits claim negligence on the part of the defendants and seek to recover damages for injuries and fatalities, property damage and business loss that occurred as a result of the attacks. According to court papers, the plaintiffs have alleged or have indicated they are likely to allege that the aviation companies should have anticipated that terrorists would hijack planes and crash them into buildings in coordinated suicide attacks, and that the defendants should have put in place security procedures to effectively defend against such attacks.
The government urged the judge to block the aviation companies from interviewing six current and former FBI employees who the companies say would be able to testify as to what intelligence the FBI, CIA, Federal Aviation Administration and airlines had before the attacks regarding the terrorists' plans and capabilities, as well as how the entities shared and exploited the intelligence.
The government argued that it would be impossible to interview the employees without disclosing classified or privileged material that could cause serious damage to national security and interfere with pending law enforcement proceedings.
The largest investigation in FBI history has resulted in 167,000 interviews and more than 155,000 pieces of evidence and involved the pursuit of 500,000 investigative leads, the government noted.
The government said the FBI has turned over more than 33,000 pages of information to the aviation industry lawyers, including more than 10,000 pages of laboratory pictures and related information, witness interviews and descriptions of the hijackers' weapons.
The airlines and aviation companies have said they are defending themselves against lawsuits seeking billions of dollars in damages for injuries, fatalities, property damage and business losses related to the attacks.
The companies filed separate lawsuits against the CIA and the FBI seeking to force terrorism investigators to say whether the aviation industry was to blame for the Sept. 11 attacks.
Lawyers for the victims of the attacks have said the FBI should not be forced to provide more information.
In Thursday's ruling, the judge also denied the aviation defendants' motion for an order that the 9/11 commission's report as a whole, a staff monograph and selected staff statements, are relevant to the lawsuits. He said specific portions of the report may be admissible.
As to a motion by the defendants seeking to have testimony given by FBI agents during the trial of Sept. 11 conspirator Zacharias Moussaoui admitted in the lawsuits case, the judge granted the motion only as to the testimony of two agents in which they recount what they learned in their investigations.
"Testimony as to what their superiors did or did not do is not relevant, and is not admissible," the judge wrote.
Moussaoui, a French citizen, is serving a life sentence after pleading guilty to helping plan the attacks.
