Janira was one of the Kin Elders in Ebou Dar, and a Wise Woman.
She was very weak in the One Power, she was not strong enough to become Accepted. This means that she was below the level 45(33).
She had graying hair and had the typical Saldaean hooked beak nose and sharp cheekbones.
Janira and seven other Elders met Matrim Cauthon, Elayne Trakand, and Nynaeve al'Meara at the Tarasin Palace to go after the Bowl. At the six story building the gholam killed Janira.

Lindsay Lohan's Mom Wants Her To Start Pumping Out Russian Babies
You can tell Lindsay Lohan's new Russian boyfriend is legitimately rich because already both of her parents have crawled out of the woodwork with dollar signs in their eyes and even more where their hearts should be. First, it was Michael with claims that Egor Tarabasov will revive Lindsay's career, which technically is true if we're talking about her current profession of milking international dick. Things couldn't be better. Which brings us to Dina who might as well be walking around yelling, "Gold! Gold! Gotta dig gold! Dig dig gold!" TMZ reports:
But it's Dina who's really smitten with Egor. Our Lohan sources tell us she's been telling friends she's anxious for grandkids and thinks Egor's a perfect candidate for fatherhood.
I'll just cut to the chase here: Can Lindsay Lohan even get pregnant? Because I'm pretty sure this guy's basically jizzing vinegar on top of baking soda, that's really cocaine.
"Vhat is happening, my love? Are you vith baby?"
"Well, there's foaming. Lots of foaming. Do babies foam?"
"I call mother. — She say I must wash dick with lava from volcano. She not laugh like this be joke."

Re: Missing alternative: OMake.
Indeed, this is an entry worth mentioning. Interesting design and interesting set of features.
Thanks, Aleksey. I'm afraid that OCAML is a bit of a barrier for the masses.
Re: Make Alternatives: Rake/Rant
> One that really needs to be mentioned is Rake,
I've tried out rake. And at that time (2005) I largely
preferred SCons to rake. The main reason
was that more was available out of the box.
Also the SCons distribution named 'scons-local'
was very well matching our setup.
Anyway, it is good to notice that both rake and SCons
are targeted more at the release engineer. Meaning
somebody whos job is to design, implement and maintain
build description. For that role the powerful syntax
(Ruby or Python) and their standard libraries readily
available really shine. For the casual developer,
these same things may be real disadvantages
(significant leaning curve). He never invents
new kind of build steps, never designs new builds.
It doesn't matter to him that the string manipulation
is much better in Ruby (or Python) than with 'make'
if he is completely new to Rudy (or Python).
Sharp contrast with the closely-build-involved
developer, who will instantly fall in love...
Still, let's not forget that "the power of the Ruby
(or Python) programming language at your disposal"
is largely irrelevant to a lot of developers.
They just "add to the build" once in a while
and that is just "copy, paste, change-a-name, run".
> and it's high-powered cousin, Rant.
What a pleasant discovery. I didn't know
about this one and it looks like I will like it.
So rant (http://rant.rubyforge.org/) has all the features of modern build tools:
content signatures, integrated implicit dependencies
checker, end-to-end builds (from generating sources
to making the deployment package).
It also have less frequently seen features: an
outstanding approach to bootstrapping, support
for C# builds, etc.
Too bad that the last update is about 1 year old.

States start foreclosure investigation
Attorneys general coordinate mortgage documentation cases
By Stephanie Armour
The USA's state attorneys general are vowing to halt improper mortgage foreclosures as they open a coordinated 50-state investigation into the industry's alleged use of faulty or fraudulent documents to complete tens of thousands of foreclosures.
"We want to get to the bottom of what went wrong, and ensure it never happens again," Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, who's heading the investigation, announced Wednesday.
Though no deadline for completing the investigation was announced, Miller said the group would work "diligently and expeditiously."
The announcement by the attorneys general comes amid an expanding number of reviews by regulators, the Justice Department and mortgage servicers themselves after disclosures that servicer employees signed foreclosure documents without proper verification or notarization. Pending completion of internal reviews, Bank of America has suspended foreclosure sales in all 50 states, and GMAC Mortgage and JPMorgan Chase have suspended them in the 23 states that require court approval to complete foreclosures.
In e-mailed replies to questions from USA TODAY, Miller said his group would begin by contacting mortgage servicers, getting a better understanding of the problem's scope, and weighing possible remedies. "We know that in many cases, despite this foreclosure mess, people will still lose their homes. But we hope that, in some cases, lenders will work with homeowners to modify the close-call mortgage cases and save those homes from foreclosure," he said. "That's a win-win."
Despite the outcry about improper foreclosure procedures, delays could hurt the nation's still-fragile housing market and its recovery.
For example, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which own or have guaranteed many mortgages in default, are owned by the government. Foreclosed houses that they can't sell are a taxpayer expense.
Their regulator warned Wednesday that servicers should review their processes and ensure that they've followed state laws, but a servicer that has not identified problems "should not postpone its foreclosure activities."
"Delays in foreclosures add cost and other burdens for communities, investors and taxpayers," said the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
For Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans, "delay means that taxpayers must continue to support (Fannie and Freddie) financing of mortgages without the benefit of payment, and neighborhoods are left with more vacant properties," it said.

When Khloe Met Lenny (PHOTO)
So Khloe Kardashian recently met Lenny Kravitz and she's totally bragging about it. Today, the newly trained equestrian reality star posted this pic of her and hubby Lamar Odom with the rockstar. She explains:
"Last week Lamar and I went on Lopez Tonight and Lenny Kravitz was there and he asked for a picture with us! I wanted one with him but I was too shy to ask. So thank goodness he asked first! LOL I can't believe he even knew who I was. He told me he watches every episode of our show! Who would have ever thought that someone like Lenny Kravitz would be a fan?! I'm not sure if he was serious or not but I guess I have the picture to prove it! Hahaha.
I love his music and his performance in Precious was phenomenal — he's SO talented and so sweet and down to earth. It was really awesome to have the opportunity to meet him."
Honestly. Who would have thought?? Well, we have seen stranger things. Leo DiCaprio also watches Jersey Shore. Things just got real.

Those little cameras are adorable! I knew as soon as I saw them that they needed to be on my layout! One of my recent crops was themed a Mustache Bash, we had a makeshift Photo Booth with lots of fun props. Many of the photos ended up on Instagram and I had my favorites printed. I tried to use a bit of each pattern in the Snapshots line and then got a little crazy embellishing with Paper Pieces and Stickers. Bella Blvd lines come with enough coordinating stickers and embellishments, offering more time for creating and less time searching for matching embellishments!

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The distance between the University of Alabama and everyone else is getting larger. If the Crimson Tide dispose of No. 5 LSU on Saturday in Baton Rouge, the lead could be too much for any team to make up.
Alabama (8-0, 5-0) remains at No. 1 in the BCS standings after throttling No. 15 Mississippi State 38-7 at home last night. The SEC victory was Alabama's first true signature win of the season and served as the prelude for Saturday's rematch against LSU, whom Alabama beat to win the national championship in January. UA's season-opening win over Michigan has lost some of its luster after the Wolverines dropped out of the Top 25 this week.
The Crimson Tide are No. 1 in the Harris Interactive College Football Poll and USA Today coaches' poll, which are the other two pieces of the BCS standings formula.
The computer rankings place Alabama at No. 3, trailing Notre Dame and Kansas State who were tied as the top team.
Alabama's resume includes three solid victories away from Bryant-Denny Stadium:
a 41-14 win versus Michigan
a 44-13 win at Tennessee
a 38-7 win over No. 15 Mississippi State
Alabama still has regular-season games remaining against two more teams in the top 20 of the BCS standings:
at No. 5 LSU on Saturday
vs. No. 16 Texas A&M on Nov. 10
Alabama can secure the SEC West crown by beating LSU (7-1). Only a head-to-head tiebreaker would give LSU the title if both teams were to end the regular season with identical records. Texas A&M and Ole Miss have two conference losses apiece.
Alabama also has games against Western Kentucky and Auburn remaining, both of which have combined for two wins this year.
If Alabama were to make it to the SEC Championship Game, it would likely face No. 6 Georgia. The Bulldogs upset then-No. 2 Florida in Jacksonville this past weekend, 19-7. Florida fell to No. 7.

In 1909, three violent tornadoes developed in Norton County Kansas. Two of the tornadoes were rated F4 on the Fujita Scale. In one, a ranch house was destroyed as the tornado reportedly carried away everything moveable. Sixty three cattle were killed on two ranches, some reportedly carried to the heights of 500 feet. The other violent tornado occurred near the city of Norton, leveling farms, ranches, a school, and a church. A dubious and unconfirmed newspaper report noted that a 1700 pound steer was carried for a mile. In 1989, thunderstorms developing along a warm front produced severe weather from Colorado and New Mexico to Kansas and Nebraska. The thunderstorms produced hail three inches in diameter at Wheeler. $$

Gold has been used as a store of value since long before paper money arose. Though investing in gold is ancient, it has become easier with electronic trading. Online trading has given investors multiple ways to invest in gold securities at the touch of a button.
Ways to Invest
There are many different ways to invest in gold. These include direct investment in gold-miner stocks, exchange-traded funds of gold-miner stocks, royalty trusts of gold mineral rights, holding physical gold bullion or coins, and purchasing ETF shares of publicly traded gold vaults. With the exception of ownership of physical gold, each of these investment options can be accomplished easily online.
Owning shares in gold miners is one way to gain exposure to variations in the gold price. The gold mines that they own or control may become more valuable when the price of gold rises. Particular companies may profit disproportionately if they keep their costs from rising as fast as the price of gold. Gold stock investors can benefit from rising stock prices or from dividend payments.
Investors can easily diversify their investment in gold-miner stocks by purchasing them through shares of gold-miner ETFs. Investors should inspect candidate ETFs to make sure that they do not charge excessive management fees and that they are appropriately diversified.
Mining Risks
Investing in gold miner stocks involves many risks. Some do not fully benefit from gold-price appreciation because they have purchased gold derivatives or sold rights to future output at fixed prices. These actions effectively remove or reduce a company's exposure to upward and downward gold-price movements. These stocks also may not fully benefit from gold-price appreciation if the miners' costs appreciate faster than the price of gold itself.
Political Risks
Many gold miners operate internationally and are subject to legal changes that favor local governments. For example, Ernst & Young's June 2013 Mexico Quarterly Briefing listed legal issues facing miners in various countries, from the repercussions of Venezuela's gold mine nationalization to tax and royalty hikes in multiple countries.

Skip to comments.Ecuador paints EU countries as US stooges
Posted on 08/19/2012 1:18:33 PM PDT by Olog-hai
Ecuador has granted asylum to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange saying the UK and Sweden plan to hand him over to the US for "persecution."
Its foreign ministry in a statement on its website on Thursday (16 August) said it granted his request on grounds that if the UK extradites him to Sweden, then Sweden will hand him over to the US, where he risks "persecution [and] cruel and degrading treatment" in a military trial which could end in life in jail or the death penalty.
Despite its own track record of silencing government-critical journalists, it added that Assange, who helped leak thousands of classified US diplomatic cables, is "an award-winning communications professional renowned internationally for his struggle for freedom of expression, press freedom and human rights."
For its part, the EU is trying to steer clear of the affair.
"This is essentially a bilateral issue between the UK and Ecuador
[but] the EU delegation in Quito is following this case closely, in contact with the UK embassy," a spokesman for EU foreign relations chief Catherine Ashton told AFP.

It's weird how many people from Ecuador risk their lives each year escaping from that sewer to come to the U.S. Very weird.
I don't think this is going to go very far. The little weasel Correa is in increasing trouble in his own country as resistence grows to his corrupt and dictatorial left-wing government.
As for the EU, Assange was spying on these countries, too, so I don't think they're very fond of him.
Anyone who pi$$es off the ruling elites like Assange is a hero.
"ecuador is under the thumb of chavez. Their president is a fraud."
And ours isn't? Peas in a pod, Obama and Chavez and the president of Ecuador. And he is right, the UK and Sweden are doing this at the behest of the US. I'm actually shocked at how far the UK seems willing to go, if they really do storm the Ecuadorian embassy to get Assange it basically means that no embassy will be safe in the future, especially US and UK embassies. Just remember back to the Iranian embassy take over during the Carter years and imagine that in a dozen places. Not good.
Would you have said the same about Lenin in 1917?
So people like Che and Lenin are also heroes?
That's what we get for neglecting the Monroe Doctrine and allowing Red China to influence the politics down there.
So all embassies must be inviolable no matter who they harbor?
Julian Assange has been talking with his legal adviser Baltasar Garzon inside the Ecuadorean embassy
He is enraging them by illuminating what they do not want us to see. He is not a politician, but just a guy with a website that exposes the truth.
Obama's leaks have done more to damage the USA.
A very good point. Ecuador is just another of Hugo Chavez' puppet states. Others include Nicaragua, Bolivia and Argentina. What Chavez is doing is trying to make up for South America's lack of importance in world affairs, a kind of "look at me! look at me!" schtick, which is why he's getting cozy with Mahmoud Dinner-jacket. We should take comfort in the fact that without Hugo, the rest of these morons are like headless turkeys. Just look at how their "Support us on the Falklands and invite Cuba next time" platform at the latest summit collapsed when Chavez had to be air-lifted to a hospital. Correa, Morales, Ortega and Kirchner are laughable, and Asshat Assange is going nowhere. He'll have to leave eventually and then its a short stop in Sweden before arriving in a US prison. Don't worry, Julian. We'll take good care of you...
Both Obama and Assange should share a cell for their leaking.
YES! That has been in treaties since after WWI and if it was not why do you think that armed marines are at all of our embassies? That is considered sovereign ground of the country that owns the embassy, it's literally part of their country and invading an embassy like that would be considered an act of war.
In 1989 or 1990 during the operation to oust Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega, a US infantry unit in Panama City broke ino the Nicaraguan Embassy, believing there were Sandanistan weapons in there. There was hell raised and Ortega declared a bunch of US diplomats, some friends of mine, personae non grata and expelled them in retaliation. It's a serious infraction of international law.
Britain brought in a law in the 1980s giving the government the power to revoke the sovereignty of embassies if they were being misused for illegal purposes. They brought this in after the Libyan embassy was used to fire at crowds of anti-Gaddafi protesters and killed Yvonne Fletcher, a policewoman on duty that day. Prior to this law being passed, Britain was basically forced to watch the murderers escape justice due to diplomatic immunity and literally watch them walk away, board a plane and fly away scot free...
It hasn't served any good purpose, has it? All it's done is shielded tyrants. And led to more wars. Time to scrap it.
And frankly, the actions of the Ecuadorian embassy are an act of war.

Electric Vehicle Infrastructure
Case Reviews
Since camp cases are emerging, I have decided to scan through select case Affirmatives and deliver some summaries. While I will be looking at specific camp cases, I intend to summarize the general advocacy without reference to specific files. So, if several camps put out a high-speed rail case, for example, I will generally summarize the case plans, advantages, etc. without referencing a particular file. Now for sure, some of the reviews will be one particular file, if no other camp puts out a similar case.
This series will spread out over several postings as I find time to review the cases. In general, the posts will be short, the comments will be brief and they are strictly my opinions. If I say I do not like a case, it does not mean you should avoid looking at it, especially since sometimes the files are updated and improved.
The case files, I review will be taken from the National Debate Coaches Association, Open Evidence Project.
Airport Improvement Program (AIP)
The AIP is a block of funding grants available for a wide range of improvement projects as long as they meet a nebulous set of National objectives which give top priority to noise abatement and military projects. Because there is such a wide range of projects that may qualify, the Aff is potentially a shell for any kind of project a team hopes to advocate.
At the time I reviewed the case files, NDCA had filed two AIP cases. One was a shell which I review below and the other was a specific case. Both used some of the same cards. The specific case identified a few other advantages, the shell did not. Those interested can look at the specific case to see how to use the shell to create a specific case. I am not a fan of the political advantage claimed by the case however, since it may only be valid until the election and in my opinion, it's links are opinion or speculative at best.
Increased capacity enables reduced delays with a net benefit to the economy. Airports are a source of jobs and revenues. As you might expect if you are a policy debater, upholding the economy avoids a worldwide collapse and resulting conflicts and increased risk of terror attacks.
Improved security reduces the risk of terrorists using general aviation aircraft and facilities to carry out their nefarious deeds. This scenario generates bio and nuclear terror potentials. Guess what terrorism leads to...yup nuclear war.
If airports succeed in reducing their carbon footprints then global warming is slowed, environmental damage mitigated and the biosphere thanks you for preserving the earth. Otherwise, environmental damage leads to famine which leads to yet another nuke war scenario.
Various Solvency/Advantage Add-ons
Bomb Detection
Improved screening for baggage bombs. The advantage links for this should be obvious.
NextGen is the satellite based aircraft navigation system and is a case by itself. AIP provides the infrastructure improvements required to support NextGen which requires substantial upgrades to airports and aircraft. Therefore AIP links to NextGen's copious advantages.
Military Airport Program (MAP)
This program is an AIP pre-approved grant so, if AIP gets funding, the advantage or perhaps, better, solvency for capacity and congestion problems, is a no-brainer. MAP does not increase militarization or security. It merely converts idled military air-bases into commercial and private airports.
The Good
I like the idea and think it makes a good shell for a variety of specific cases which can fall under AIP in general. Topically and states CP challenges should be non-starters since airport management has long been a USFG responsibility. The files has good extensions, and background cards with help in understanding how the funding can be achieved.
The Bad
The case file I looked at is a shell, but a pretty good start. This needs work so don't expect to just start reading the cards and expect to have a case. The links could be a little better. Certainly, the environmental advantage is a stretch in my opinion.
Good shell. I would recommend it as a basis for creating a pretty good case. Definitely a good start for a novice team if a coach or varsity teammate helps them develop it.
Electric Vehicle Support
Provides investment in infrastructure for electric vehicle charging stations.
Increase in EV infrastructure means more vehicles which means lower prices for EVs and batteries so then this feeding frenzy sort of begins and consumers get excited and the industry skyrockets.
PPPs (Public Private Partnerships) can provide the mechanism for funding.
Clean energy industry is stimulated by targeting electric vehicle infrastructure.
Auto industry is stimulated as the sales of electric vehicles increase.
Either of the above advantages are linked to a declining economy in the SQ which is on the brink of collapse with expected nuclear war impact. By stimulating one or the other industries, clean energy or automobile, the flagging economy harm is solved and nuke annihilation averted.
Heg is supported by the competitive auto industry which we helped out by investing in charging stations. When heg is strong, the military-industrial complex thrives. Strong heg also allows the case to claim the electric vehicle industry is helped because the military uses the technologies which spin out of that industry. Of course we all know what happens if heg is weak or collapses.
Electric Grid
The power grid is vulnerable to nuclear attack which would be devastating if we had no way to charge our iPads. The claim is made that investment in EV infrastructure stimulates the powers that be to build up and harden the grid. Well, maybe build up but hardening is only suggested by the tag on the card.
Dwindling Oil
We are rapidly running out of oil and when that happens all manner of stuff will hit the fan. EVs are the key to ending our dependency on oil.
Climate Change
You can no doubt see the connection between electric vehicles and mitigating climate change. Electric cars reduce harmful emissions and since all global warming is anthropogenic, problem solved.
The Good
I see the case as topical and certainly the inherency is valid.
The Bad
Is there any reason at all this infrastructure can not fall under state initiatives? The inherency evidence claims that most of the EV charging facilities are in California which strongly suggests the State of California spurred the development locally rather than some federal push to build the infrastructure.
The link to the Heg advantage is non-existent. I mean, if Heg is strong it benefits industry and a strong industry benefits Heg is very circular. Heg is pretty strong right now, and that alone has not been a particular stimulus to the EV industry, otherwise this case would not even be inherent. Also, the electric grid advantage is overstated. The nuclear vulnerability is not even remotely solved in the evidence provided. The case wants us to assume that, hey since we're upgrading, why not harden against nuclear attack? That shouldn't add too much to the upgrade cost.
Even though people may support the idea of stimulating the EV industry, this case is going to be met with all kinds of good Neg challenges. Most significantly, other than funding, there are no real inherent barriers to normal market forces building up the EV industry. Besides the fact the need for USFG action is unclear, many of the advantages are not linked in a consistent way. You may want to consider a different case altogether.

Target: President Barack Obama
Goal: Stop the United States Government from sharing license plate tracking data with third party organizations
Every time a car crosses the border of the United States its license plate is photographed. Until recently, these photos were thought to only be used by our government for official purposes; but documents recently obtained via the Freedom of Information Act show that these photos are being shared with third-party insurance companies. Automatic license plate recognizing cameras are now being installed in cities across the country on fixtures like bridges, as well as on police patrol cars. As this camera system becomes more ubiquitous, the continued sharing of data with third parties will allow corporations access to the private location data of American citizens without their knowledge or consent. We must ensure our government does not share our private license plate data with any third parties.
Documents obtained by the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) outline how our government has been sharing license plate recognition data with an organization called the National Insurance Crime Bureau, which represents hundreds of insurance companies. This information can from there be shared with unknown third parties, who would then have access to the private location data of ordinary citizens; thus enabling people's movements to be retroactively monitored by non-government agencies. As it currently stands, this information is being shared without any provisions governing the sharing process. Perhaps even more alarming is the fact that there is no way to know just exactly who has access to this data beyond the NICB; and as this recognition technology continues to spread, more location data about where we go and when will be available to unknown third parties.
There is no shortage of examples of individual freedoms being eroded in our nation today. This is just another instance of our government exploiting what should be private information. Insurance companies and other third party entities have no business tracking the whereabouts of private citizens. Act now and keep this private information out of the hands of any non-government agency.
Dear President Obama,
We urge you to cease the sharing of license plate data between our government agencies and private insurance firms. As citizens of this republic we understand that some privacy and freedoms must be sacrificed for the safety and well-being of us all. However, insurance companies and other third party entities have no right to any private location information regarding the travel habits of American citizens without our consent.
We ask you to immediately halt this practice and ensure our whereabouts and destinations remain solely our own knowledge, and not in the hands of unknown, unregulated, and uncaring organizations. The audacity of greed is shamelessly on display here sir, and we would ask that you restore our hope in freedom and liberty by ending this unauthorized and unethical violation of our fundamental rights as citizens of this great country.
[Your Name Here]
