Sinkhole Insurance Sticker Shock
Talk about sticker shock – insurance rates in our region for sinkhole could go up between 400 and 2,000 percent. What's going on and what can be done about it?
Recently, the Citizens Property Insurance Corporation announced it wants rates in sinkhole property insurance by an average of 400 percent statewide. Sinkhole claims in Pasco, Hernando and Hillsborough County are rising fast.
And earlier this year, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 408, which took the cap off sinkhole premiums.
The proposed rate increases now go to the state insurance commission for final approval.
On Florida Matters, we ask four experts to help figure out why this is happening: Republican state Senators Mike Fasano of New Port Richey and Mike Bennett of Bradenton, Lynn McChristian of the industry-backed Insurance Information Institute, and Sean Shaw, former state consumer insurance advocate and now with the Merlin Law Group.
What's your experience with sinkhole claims? Let us know on WUSF's Facebook page.

Two Arrested for Downtown Gang-Related Stabbing updated: Feb 04, 2014, 2:41 PM
Source: SBPD
Javier Hernandez III, of Oxnard, and Juan Jose Vasquez, of Goleta, both ages 18, were arrested for assault with a deadly weapon stemming from a gang-related stabbing in downtown Santa Barbara. The victim is a 31-year old Santa Barbara man who sustained a non-life threatening stab wound to his back. He was treated at the scene by paramedics.
On February 3, 2013 at 12:57 p.m., officers from the Santa Barbara Police Department responded to multiple 9-1-1 calls of a fight in the vicinity of the 00 block of W. Carrillo Street. One caller advised that the incident involved an assault with a knife. Following the incident the involved parties fled. Numerous citizens reported descriptions of the suspects and their direction of travel; they were taken into custody at the intersection of State Street and Carrillo Street. The victim and a companion were located on the 900 block of Anacapa Street.
Investigation revealed that prior to the altercation the victim and a companion were walking in Paseo Nuevo Mall when they were confronted by a group of subjects that included Hernandez and Vasquez. A witness heard words and saw gang hand signs being exchanged between the subjects. The victim and his companion were subsequently followed out to the street and a fight ensued on the 00 block of W. Carrillo Street, during which the victim was stabbed. A witness heard the name of a Santa Barbara area gang being shouted during the altercation. Investigation indicated that Hernandez and Vasquez were involved in the stabbing.
Hernandez and Vasquez were both booked into Santa Barbara County Jail for assault with a deadly weapon with bail amounts of $30,000.00. This investigation is still ongoing and additional details are being withheld.

The ultimate macho man of B-town could not hold back his tears while watching the soon-to-be-released 3D version of his father's iconic movie co-starring Amitabh Bachchan
Sunny Deol's mighty exterior may suggest that the man is made up of steel, but those who know the Deol lad well will tell you that the action hero is a softie at heart. So when the sentimental Sunny watched the new version of Sholay –the iconic film of Indian cinema-in 3D format, he simply could control his emotional outburst.
Deol, who watched a special screening of Sholay 3D, said Saturday he got very emotional after watching the film that starred his father Dharmendra. "It's an iconic film and I got emotional watching it. I got emotional throughout the film," Deol told reporters.
Praising the film, he said: "It's been 38 years for Sholay and still it looks so fresh. I loved it and it's a new experience to watch it in 3D. The entire film looks good in totality."
The 3D version of Sholay will release Jan 3.

Book Review: 'The Hunger Games'
How Much Violence Should Kids Be Exposed To?
Monday, June 6, 2011
"The Hunger Games" Trilogy by Suzanne Collins is currently in production with the first film set for release on March 23, 2012. Collins is co-writing the screenplay and Jennifer Lawrence stars. Guest blogger Miguel Rodriguez has this review of the books.
Although very late to the game, I have decided to become yet another adult to entrench myself in the dystopian world of Suzanne Collins's "The Hunger Games" trilogy. Oddly enough, this wasn't because of the extremely hyped film adaptation currently being developed by Lionsgate. No, I discovered this title from a number of comments-section rants on Amazon.com, some of which were put off by the inherent darkness and violence of the books:
"But why use all that talent to write a book that leaves you so disturbed?"
So of course I knew they were for me. It wasn't until until several pages in that I realized that they were young adult novels published by Scholastic (I'm still getting used to my e-reader, which makes such distinctions hard to identify). They are very well-paced and exciting, but clearly written at about a fourth-or-fifth grade reading level.
Still, I was surprised to discover they were young adult because all I had read about them was their basic premise. The story is set in a future version of North America, now called Panem, which is organized into stratified districts with a wealthy capitol. In order to keep the working-class districts under control, the capitol ensures that they are impoverished to the brink of starvation. Oh yeah, and this is the part that frankly got me to read the books, they also stage an annually-televised sporting event in which 12 to 18-year-old district children are forced to fight to the death in a booby-trapped arena.
If you think that sounds familiar, perhaps you are thinking of the 1999 Japanese novel or 2000 Japanese film adaptation called "Battle Royale" in which—you guessed it—school children are forced to fight to the death in a government-sponsored game. "Battle Royale," however, was intended for adults from the start, which is part of why I find Suzanne Collins's trilogy—consisting of "The Hunger Games," "Catching Fire," and "Mockingjay"—so interesting. According to Scholastic, "young adult" refers to the 12 to 18-year-old range, so Collins's intended audience is the same age group as those selected for almost certain death in the Hunger Games.
In interviews, the author has said she wants to depict the horrific effects that war can have on children. She has cited her father's experiences in Vietnam as inspiration. In this mission she pulls no punches. The characters in "The Hunger Games" are well-crafted and relatable—and they endure veritably every form of torture imaginable before the trilogy comes to an end. The entire story is told from the first-person point of view of Katniss Everdeen (to be played by Jennifer Lawrence in the film adaptation), a teenage girl who volunteers to enter the games in the place of her little sister, who is "drafted" in a public lottery. The skills she acquired through illicit hunting are put to good use in the ultra-violent games.
And they are violent.
Scholastic Books
In the first book alone, children are stabbed, impaled, poisoned, stung to death by mutant bees, and more. The violence only gets more intense in the second and third books. What strikes me, however, is that the violence in these books is never used for sensationalistic purposes—it is the result of warlike situations and, more importantly, it has consequences. As the novels progress, Katniss is constantly placed in horrific situations beyond her control or her years and exhibits many symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (detachment, constant intense nightmares, hostility). The extreme violence is a necessary part of communicating the theme of how damaging such violence can be.
Which brings me back to the upcoming series of film adaptations in development at Lionsgate. Gary Ross ("Pleasantville," "Seabiscuit") is the director in charge and has already had to defend the films' announced PG-13 rating. According to his interview in the latest issue of "Entertainment Weekly," he gives a pretty solid defense: "It's not going to be an R-rated movie because I want the 12- and 13- and 14-year-old-fans to be able to go see it. This book means too much to too many teenagers for it not to be PG-13."
Though, it's hard to picture Ross on this project, considering his prior work, it's also hard to argue with that logic--but it does raise some interesting thoughts. First of all, the MPAA is far more sensitive to sex and harsh language than violence—and the novels have almost none of either (aside from non-sexual nudity that will probably left out of Suzanne Collins's script). Personally, I've always been fascinated by people's tendency to deem gruesome violence less harmful than sexual content.
Second, how much can the violence be toned down before the entire theme is lost? I can see Ross's point about wanting the films to be accessible to fans, but he also said that the films didn't have to be "needlessly violent." Okay, but for the stories to work there is a certain amount of "needful violence" that has to happen. The violence in the books is not only necessary to the theme, but it drives the story and gives a rationale for the characters' later actions. It is also interesting to me that anyone would think movie special effects are more intense than a reader's imagination.
Even more disturbing is the casting criteria for Katniss Everdeen. According to a Wall Street Journal article, casting director Debra Zane included "should be Caucasian" in those criteria. It would be one thing if the actress they found simply embodied the character of Katniss—her somewhat ambiguous character description of straight black hair and olive skin sounds like someone who could look Mediterranean or Latina—but to automatically discount anyone not Caucasian is pretty offensive, especially in light of other Hollywood "whitewashing" like "The Last Airbender," or the planned live-action "Akira" film. This detail alone leaves enough of a bad taste in my mouth to be reluctant to buy a movie ticket.
Anyway, all of this—the PG-13 rating and the possible whitewashing—are just so typical of Hollywood that I can't say I'm too surprised. I am willing to give them a pass on the PG-13 considering the source material is aimed at a younger audience. Lionsgate really needs this project to go franchise. Even if the films are total garbage, I learned long ago that however derailed an adaptation can become, the source work will always exist to be enjoyed—and I did enjoy "The Hunger Games." If nothing else, this trilogy did get me thinking about not only violence's effect on people, but also about how much violence we think we can let our kids get exposed to in the media, literature, or movies. As always, that is often at a parents' discretion. These books are worth talking about with your kids.
And now, I'll leave you with a fan-made film, faithfully depicting a scene from "The Hunger Games;"

I wrote more of a discussion than a review. I tried to throw in the most key plot points and main character so people who hadn't read the books can get an idea of what they are about, but I am wondering about the thoughts of those of you who have already read them or are fans of them. From what I understand, these are extremely popular. All the news regarding the upcoming movies seems to take for granted that everybody has read them, revealing absolutely nothing about the stories themselves.

Great Review Miguel! I agree with your concerns over sex >danger than violence, I think it's oftentimes ridiculous (I would highly recommend 'This Film is not yet Rated' on netflix instant streaming). Moreover, the whitewashing/racebending aspect of the hollywood system blows my mind sometimes.
It's interesting people getting upset about dystopian ya novels that don't pull punches. Have you ever heard of a book called Unwind?
maysalee | August 15, 2011 at 5:50 a.m. ― 5 years, 7 months ago
listen, i'm fourteen years old and i read the -great- books six months ago.(and still, cause i bought them) i'm dutch, i don't know or i'm different to american children, (although i've noticed some time before that in foreighn countries most dutch children were seen older then they were, and when i was a couple years ago in england, i played only with 15-16 year olds, couse the 11-12 year olds were so childisch there)
i dont't think the books are to mutch violent ( i've read worser before) and i think it is the opposite, espiacially in mockingjay you see the consequences what all the violence had done to katniss, peeta, finnick, annie cresta, haymitch and all the others. and you really get the message that this must not happen.
but now going to the movie, or movies like some already say, i think it is good from the age of alround 10, cause they get the storie then. but it depents ofcourse of the child, everyone is different. i think the movie is going to be great, i saw footage of jennifer lawrence before, and she is a great actrice. i don't really know the others, but i think they are gonna do a great job, too.
and about your opinion that sex is mutch worse than violence, i don't know if i agree. if sex is not used as abuse, but as part of love, what is the problem? i mean, in titanic, for example there is violence, love, sex, nudity (although you can't real see it, but you know whats happening, you know what i mean) and that didn't had an age rating, right?
i'm a great fan of the hungergames, and i want that it's made exactly like the books (when it is possible) and that everyone has a chance to see it, and that that chance don't goes away by some silly american, who are thinking that children are baby's and don't know what's going on in the world.
i can't wait till the movie!
p.s. i'm not a native speaker, and i only have english lessons at school for tree years (that leurning to count and that stuff on the primary school i don't count) so don't see my mistakes in englisch, but see what i've written. thank you!
Technomike13 | August 30, 2011 at 5:14 a.m. ― 5 years, 6 months ago
You should leave it as bloody and gory as possible that's is what attracted so many readers. By making it less gory would take away from the granduor that is The Hunger Games. I hate it when they take away important aspects of the book for movies, look at The Lightining Thief. I read that book all the time when I heard there was a movie coming out I was extatic, they killed it that movie is so far from the book it's insulting...... Don't make another movie like that so far from the book it's unrecognizable.

Redskins Falter to Giant

After the Redskins signed QB Andre Woodson from the Giants, there was speculation that this was done purely to gain insight into the Giants audibles and offensive plays, but after watching yesterday's game, it's clear that was of no help to the Redskins.

Cropsey (Barbara Brancaccio & Joshua Zeman)
An interesting enough piece of low-budget journalism that attempts to get at the truth of five or more missing children that became alleged murder victims around 25-30 years ago in Staten Island. Brancaccio and Zeman truly seem to be hunting for the facts and not out to exploit tragedy for "the sensational documentary"'s sake. Still, there's something wrong when a Geraldo Rivera piece - that is used within Cropsey for some frightening exposition (truly frightening... sickening even) - is more interesting that the doc that's enveloping it.
****** Mandrill (Ernesto Diaz Espinoza)
Ernesto Diaz Espinoza and his crew may be the most exciting new Latin American filmmakers going. In short time, they've - on modest budgets - made three well measured and breezy feel-good action hero flicks. After seeing their martial arts film, Kiltro, I knew it was only a matter of time before the studly Marko Zaror would cross over into Hollywood stardom. Well, that's already on its way as we were host to some early footage of the Mirageman remake (retitled The Defender, for some reason). I admit that Mandrill does go a little limp after a first half that's frontloaded with its brightest ideas, but seeing as how this was the first time they've screened the film for an audience, perhaps this version of Mandrill is still a work in progress. Highly enjoyable, nonetheless.
OK. So, through no fault of Metropia, I kind of hit the five day wall at this point and slid down into my chair relying on only the arm rests to keep me from sliding to the ground in glorious full-fetal nap position. Luckily, later in the night, I caught a brief second wind, but Metropia suffered for my red eyes, I won't deny that. With that disclaimer, I still wasn't feeling this animated film. Europe in the near dystopian future where the corporations blah blah blah..., and the media blah blah blah..., and the brainwashing blah blah blah... . Not that those topics are unimportant, but Christ, give it a unique spin, please. The programmers played an old Brazil trailer beforehand as a good-natured and appropriate lead in, but little did they suspect that being reminded of Brazil right before seeing Metropia was only going to shine the light on the latter's flaws.
Wow. What to say about Stingray Sam? I surely wasn't expecting this to be the funniest movie of Fantastic Fest before walking into it, but man oh man was it ever the most oddball-weirdo-nutball hilarious film I've seen in quite some time. Since the festival brings in people from across the globe, it's often telling to gauge audience responses based on geographic origin. I say that, because my perception is that Stingray Sam possesses a goofball humor to it that is distinctly American. Most of our European and Asian guests didn't seem to connect with it. Director, actor, writer, everyman, Cory McAbee talked about the political aspects of his work, and boy was it refreshing to hear an artist understand the difference between creating propaganda and letting politics influence your fictional art. I think this guy may be too smart for Hollywood to ever understand. A sad shame, because he's immensely talented... and a total freak!
****** REC 2 (Paco Plaza & Jaume Balaguero)
I wasn't too hot on REC, so I wasn't expecting to be too high on its sequel. While, mostly, that is true, I do think that REC 2 is a superior film to its predecessor. For one, the camera work is cleaner and single shots last for a much more extended and fluid period of time. Also, Paco Plaza & Jaume Balagueró's inspired idea to jump to a "helmet cam" periodically gives the film time to breath and gain some much needed punctuation that was lacking in the first. There's also a spiritual/possession element in the sequel that wasn't sound in the first. Because Plaza and Balaguero have matured as filmmakers, and because their original film has now been given space to stretch out its story (I would imagine a REC 3 is in the works...), the REC franchise has instantly become more interesting than I ever thought it could be. Props to Plaza and Balaguero for keeping their film under 90 minutes once again. Though the hands are much more steady this time around, there's only so much hand held one can stomach.

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS436871
This knob accepts a D-shaped shaft.
This part works with the following brands: Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Tappan & White-Westinghouse.
First I removed the metal burner covers and then placed a thick towel over the top part of the oven to prevent scratching and in the event the glass fell, it towel would prevent breakage. I proceeded to loosen the screws holding the glides on both sides of the glass. The overhead glide attached to the upper oven bottom was the issue in extending the time to replace the lamp. All screws came out easily except one. One screw had become rusted from the moisture released during years of cooking. The head of the screw stripped inside the hole so I had to use a drill bit to loosen the screw. Due to dull drill bits, it took around 15 minutes before I was able to grip the head of the screw with a pair of pliers and screw it out. The treads of the rusted screw were undamaged so replacement would be no problem. The overhead glide hood was removed allowing me to remove the glass. The lamp was removed by a simple twist (flourescent bulb) and the replacement inserted with a half twist, a small click sound and a visual inspection indicated the lamp was installed. The overhead hood was reposition using two screws, one on each side. The glass was positioned to cover the lamp and the light switch was turned to the on position to test the light, the lamp turned on. Following the lamp test both side glides were fastened with all screws. The overhead hood was secured with the remainder of the screws. A new metal screw was used to replace the damaged screw. All the screws were checked and tightened where needed. The replacement knobs took seconds to install on the oven.

American innovation on display at Siemens Norwood Motors manufacturing facility
My final stop of the day on my week-long "Invest in America, Commit to the Future" bus tour was a visit to Siemens' Norwood Motors Manufacturing Facility.
This plant was built at the turn of the 19th century, when railroads symbolized the nation's revolution in technology.
And thanks to companies like Siemens, rail is helping once again to lead a new era of American innovation.
Over the past five years, DOT has invested more than $12 billion dollars in high-performance rail, and we've extended a half-billion-dollar loan to Amtrak so they could purchase largest American-made fleet of electric locomotives built since World War II – a fleet made by Siemens.
Photo courtesy of Siemens
While touring the factory, I had the chance to talk to some of the folks who were put to work building motors and gears – and Siemens has made room for even more hiring here, all because of opportunities created by investments like these.
One of the folks I had a chance to meet was Dan White, who was hired in 2011 as a painter and in 2013 applied for and was hired as a new traction assembler, a position that was created as a result of Siemens' new order for Amtrak locomotives. Dan currently works on the gear boxes for the Amtrak Cities Sprinter locomotives where he focuses on gear assembly, testing, and detailing. Dan enjoys his work so much that he convinced his son, Derek, to join him at the plant as well.
But they're not the only folks who have new or better jobs because of investments we make in rail.
Because when we invest in rail in this country, DOT's Buy America program ensures that everything we build is built with American parts and by American workers. To build this fleet of electric locomotives, Siemens is working with 69 companies in 60 cities and in 23 states.
This is something we've always understood in this country – investing in transportation is a tried and true way to create jobs, and to grow business.
That's a wrap for today! Stay tuned for more updates from the road at http://www.dot.gov/invest-in-america.

On the day I found the monks, I had barely eaten. After trudging for hours along the deserted dunes, bundled against a surprisingly chilly wind in a wool sweater and faded jeans, I peeked into a small community center on the beach near my crumbling art deco hotel. A sign above the entrance read "Enjoy Tibetan culture and art." Inside, six Buddhist lamas from a monastery in India huddled quietly over a six-by-six-foot platform. The monks were on day two of a weeklong project to create a sand mandala, a richly metaphorical depiction of the universe made of millions of grains of vibrantly colored sand.
I joined a handful of visitors seated in chairs arranged around the cordoned-off platform. Some guests closed their eyes. One silently chanted a mantra and thumbed her mala beads. Most of us were barefoot. The only noise came from the gentle crashing of the ocean waves, no more than 50 feet away, and the tiny stick each monk stroked over the grated surface of his chakpur, the metallic straw-like funnel through which he directed the brightly hued sand, grain by grain, onto the slowly blossoming mandala. One monk kept a fold of his maroon-and-saffron robe pulled over his mouth to prevent his breath from scattering the sand.
After a short while, I felt an unexpected calm wash over me; it was the first moment of genuine ease I'd had since first learning from my wife that she was considering a divorce. For months I'd been holding tight to broken promises and spending so much energy wishing things were different that I felt as though I'd forgotten how to breathe.
No Need to Panic
Sitting there, I recalled hearing that a spiritual journey is akin to falling from a plane without a parachute. Terrifying. And that's what my life felt like at the time. Like many other people, I sometimes desperately grasp for material comfort and cling to expectations for the future in a misguided attempt to stop the sensation of plummeting into oblivion. But watching the mandala unfold reminded me that panic is unnecessary because the parachute is unnecessary. Why? Because—as yoga teaches us—there's no ground to ever hit. We're all in perpetual free fall. One breath to the next. One exuberantly lived life to the next. The monks weren't going to preserve the intricate mandala for future generations; they were creating a symbol of the transitory nature of all things and would destroy the design almost as soon as it was complete. But the mandala was no less beautiful for its impermanence.
The monks' absolute mindfulness, punctuated by an occasional hushed comment or chuckle, proved both mesmerizing and deeply soothing. I stayed for more than three hours, until the center closed for the night. During that time, the monks never stretched their backs nor glanced at the clock. No matter how far they leaned over the table, they somehow never disturbed the sand. Despite a dozen arms stretching over the mandala, the effect of their collective work was a sense of profound stillness.
The proximity of the monks' delicate artwork to the briny mist and rolling whitecaps of the Atlantic Ocean reminded me of another unlikely shoreline meditation I once witnessed: the Santa Barbara Sandcastle Festival, held every summer on East Beach in Santa Barbara, California. From dawn until dusk, bare-shouldered teams equipped with buckets and rakes, melon scoops and putty knives, deliver wet sand to 16-by-16-foot plots to make enormous and impressively detailed sand sculptures, some as large as a mobile home. Past entries have included scaled replicas of the Taj Mahal and the Manhattan skyline, a 20-foot dolphin morphing into a mermaid, Hogwarts Castle, and an eerily realistic laughing buddha as rotund as a VW van.
While they're diligently working, the sand artists are intent, as if nothing in the world is more important than crafting their sculptures. And yet, at the end of the day, as the sun sinks beneath the horizon, the artists and their friends and families gather cross-legged on the dunes, sunburned and quietly exuberant, to watch without complaint as the tide washes their creations away.
Like the sand mandala, this event is for me an inspiring illustration of sunyata, a fundamental tenet of yoga. Sunyata, often translated from Sanskrit as "emptiness," is what Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction, represents: that everything eventually falls apart and becomes something else. This cosmic recycling dance is implicit in Shiva's jig-lifted leg, with which he's often depicted in Indian statues and paintings and in Natarajasana (Lord of the Dance Pose). Realizing sunyata's significance, not just intellectually but also experientially, is essential for becoming enlightened. For truly awakening.
Nothing Lasts Forever
Though it sounds paradoxical, sunyata is the core of what yoga and Buddhism generally affirm is a coreless reality. To fully understand yoga and Buddhism, you must not only recognize but also be OK with the fact that everything—every thing—is a sandcastle, and that material stuff, any compounded phenomenon, sooner or later falls apart and washes away with the tide. This magazine is a sandcastle.
My marriage is a sandcastle. So too are the yoga studio I own, the bike that gets me there, the century-old pecan tree in my backyard—even my achy but faithful body. I find this a sobering and empowering truth, and it leads to some compelling questions: Who am I really? What am I? And what, if anything, actually dies?
In Miami I began to more fully appreciate that moving toward enlightenment means, in large part, knowing that the wisest way to hold something (or someone) is with an open palm. William Blake understood sunyata when he wrote,
He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sunrise.
The challenge—and it's a challenge that can separate enlightened behavior from unenlightened—is to love the sandcastle no less for its transitory nature. To treat each precious moment as if it's the most important thing in the universe, while also knowing that it's no more important than the moment that comes next.
I returned to the Miami community center the following morning and sat alongside the Tibetan monks and their evolving sand mandala for much of the day. And the morning after that. Three days after my return to an empty Manhattan apartment, the six monks completed their work. What had made watching them hour after hour such a sweetly challenging meditation was my knowing from the start how it would end.
After a collective bow of respect, they'd brush their beautiful creation into a multi-colored heap, pour the heap into an urn, and empty the urn's contents into the ocean. Similarly, with a growing sense of peace, I gradually surrendered my dying relationship with my wife to the tidal pull of the cosmos.

Ms. Del Ponte is a Swiss and international Prosecutor and diplomat. Within the United Nations System, she is a former Chief Prosecutor of two United Nations international criminal tribunals. As an investigating magistrate and public prosecutor in Switzerland, Ms. Del Ponte investigated and prosecuted cases of money laundering, terrorism, arms smuggling and espionage, and other facets of organized transnational crime.
After serving as the Attorney-General of Switzerland, she was appointed Prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) in August 1999. She remained Prosecutor at the ICTR and ICTY until 2003 and 2008, respectively. A total of 91 indictments were filed during Ms. Del Ponte's term, including against Slobodan Milošević while he was an acting head of State, and a number of high-ranking generals and top politicians were convicted of a range of crimes. Among her achievements, Ms. Del Ponte proved beyond reasonable doubt that genocide was committed at Srebrenica, in eastern Bosnia, and that rape was used as an instrument of terror in Bosnia, and as such constituted a crime against humanity. She also succeeded in securing guilty verdicts against several defendants accused of committing crimes against civilians during the epic siege of Sarajevo. In a 2001 interview, Del Ponte emphasized "Justice for the victims and the survivors requires a comprehensive effort at international and national level." Ms. Del Ponte served as Swiss ambassador to Argentina from 2008 to February 2011.
Since September 2012, she has served as a Commissioner of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry for Syria

Steamboat Springs There's a posse of card sharks that's been operating in Steamboat for 80 years and I dare say very few people are aware of the activities of the Mesa Club.
They play a friendly game of 500 every Wednesday afternoon in the breakfast room of the historic Rabbit Ears Motel. Then, on Saturday, a few of the wilder members of the all-ladies club step up to nickel/dime pinochle. On a bad night, somebody can lose 40 cents.
Things turn serious Sunday nights at Rose Hart's house when they deal Texas Hold'em. It was Lyle Koehler's 90th birthday this past Sunday and her friends celebrated by taking $21 off that sweet elderly soul.
"Lyle is a great Texas Hold'em player," Hart said. "She's smart with her bets."
Koehler has a different philosophy of winning at cards.
"It's all positive thinking," she said. "If you think negatively, you won't get any cards."
Lyle and her late husband, Ron, purchased the Rabbit Ears Motel in 1970 and her family continues to run it. She and her husband were jazz fans and traveled far and wide to attend live performances. They also excelled at dancing and once jitterbugged in front of the Montana State Legislature in Helena, accepting ward bonds as their honorarium. But that's another story.
The Mesa Club is named after the little red Mesa Schoolhouse easily visible from U.S. Highway 40 south of town. It didn't begin as a card club. Instead, it was called the Homemakers Club.
Longtime member (think 1946) Katherine Gourley explained that the club was initiated by the administration of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in about 1930. The intent was to support rural ranch families, she said.
"It started as a home demonstration club," Gourley said. "An extension agent (Josephine Chambers) came from Hayden and taught canning and cooking and crafts — things like making baskets out of pine needles and toys out of inner tubes."
To understand the origins of the club it helps to understand a little bit about life in rural Steamboat on the edge of the Great Depression. People were much more self-reliant in terms of producing their own food.
Communities were organized around school districts and their one-room schoolhouses, Gourley said. Her family lived in the Sidney District just a few miles from the family of Elaine Gay in the Mesa District.
Women from the different districts gathered once a month. And there wasn't much entertainment to be had — of course there were no TV sets, and radios were battery operated.
People owned automobiles, but they weren't always the most practical form of transportation. In winter, the women might arrive on horseback or ride on a heavy sled pulled by a team. The roads were never plowed.
Elaine Gay, 93, can recall her mother hosting the gatherings of the Homemakers Club and the extension agent supplying everyone with aluminum pressure cookers so they could learn to can food for the long Routt County winters without risking exposing their families to botulism.
Somehow instruction in the home arts gave way to endless hands of pinochle and 500, and Gay is the right person to explain this enduring transformation.
"After pressure cookers came exercise," Gay recalled. "None of us had ever done exercise before, but Mrs. Irving, who was 85, could do cartwheels. I guess they thought ranch women didn't have enough to do. But that was the end of it."
Well, not quite the end of it.
"In about 1935 we thought, 'Let's have some fun!'" Gay said. "We got together with the men for dinner and played the game of 500."
Gourley added that it wasn't long before the men were banned from the gatherings except for one night a year, and the future of the Mesa Club was set.
Throughout the years in Steamboat, I've noticed that it's the determination of the individuals within generations to carry on traditions that best preserves the character of a community.
Whether it's weekly rodeos in summer, Winter Carnival in winter or hosting the best Independence Day fireworks in all of Colorado, it is those traditions and the people who carry on who determine the character of Steamboat Springs.
So let's recognizes the lady card sharks of the Mesa Club for preserving an important component of rural life in the Yampa Valley.
Just don't bet against them in a game of pinochle. They'll take your lunch money.

Car aficionados know that dependability is built into each Suzuki, and know that only top quality replacement Grand Vitara parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. Suzuki car, truck, or SUV enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of a variety of features and options when driving their Grand Vitara around town. Make no mistake, you bought your Grand Vitara because you wanted to buy Japanese engineering and youthfulness both rolled up into one automobile. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the vehicles currently being driven today.
The ability to slow down and make quick evasive maneuvers is crucial to keeping you and your passengers safe. However, it took a couple of decades of automobile production until brake drums were invented. Your Suzuki Grand Vitara brake drum is a large hollow cylinder, the interior surface of which the brake shoes press against to create the friction needed to slow down your vehicle. Drum brakes collect water in the bottom which can lead to slight inefficiencies, and they wear unevenly on the inside because of the way your Suzuki Grand Vitara leans into a stop; causing them to become lop-sided.
Get your Grand Vitara back on the road with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents on the phone with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Suzuki Grand Vitara part for your project or repair. Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. If your car or truck was built in 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, then you will find the correct Suzuki Grand Vitara Brake Drum parts right here.

MediaWiki Handbook: Contents, Readers, Editors, Moderators, System admins, Researchers +/- |
- See also: Wikipedia:Redirect
A redirect is a page that automatically redirects the reader's browser to a specified target page. Redirects are used to help users locate information and keep wikis organized, so that multiple names, abbreviations, misspellings, or related topics can all point to the same page.
A redirect is created by the text
#REDIRECT [[name of the target page]]
As an example, if the page "Foo" starts with the line #REDIRECT [[Bar]]
, then the persons who visit the page "Foo" will be shown the page "Bar" with a note that they were redirected from "Foo". The page "Bar" does not need anything in it to be the target of the redirection.
Any text thereafter is ignored and is rendered only in a diff.
If the redirect target is an existing page in the same project, going to the redirect page by means of a link, the URL, or the Go button, results in the redirect target page, just like following the link. However, the browser shows the URL of the redirect page, and the target page shows a small notice after the top title to indicate you arrived here indirectly.
For example, if somebody goes to Help:Redirection, then they will end up at this page instead, and the beginning of the page will look like:
From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
(Redirected from Help:Redirection)
To get the canonical URL of the target page in your browser's address bar, click the article tab.
If the redirect target is a non-existing page in the same project, or to a page in another project, one simply arrives at the redirect page.
When a page called for inclusion is a redirect page, the redirect target is included instead, with the same parameters, without any redirect message. A double redirect does not work (see further).
On visiting any page on a simple chain of redirects, the browser is redirected to the final destination. If the chain forms a loop, the browser is brought to its predecessor and the redirect loop is displayed. See, e.g., Redirect 1 → Redirect 2 → Redirect 3 → Redirect 1.
A redirect target cannot depend on a variable, template, or parser function. If that is the case, the browser will not be automatically redirected on visiting the page. See, e.g., /expr.
A code like %70 in a redirect disables it, although the link works from the redirect page.
Some projects have policies on what redirects should exist. For example, on the English Wiktionary, most redirects are prohibited by policy.
Purposes of a redirect[edit]
- Allow access in the case that a page name is provided:
- which is an alternative name for the subject
- which is a name for a subtopic (in this case one may use a redirect to a section)
- which uses alternative capitalization and hyphenation
- which uses alternative spelling
- which has a common misspelling
- Provide a way of conveniently going to a page (shortcut).
- Keep links to a page active after it has been moved (even if internal links are updated, this still applies for links from outside; also for links in edit summaries).
Special purposes[edit]
- Conveniently linking indirectly to a page, without the need for a Piped link. However, a piped link is in some respects even better than relying on a redirect, see Comparison with piped link.
- Allowing a link title independent of the final link target; one creates a page whose name is the desired link title, and which redirects to the desired target page. See e.g. w:Template:Ft, containing [[30.48 cm|ft]], with the page w:30.48 cm redirecting to w:Foot (unit of length). The link title "30.48 cm" informs in the hover box about the unit "ft" even without following the link to the article about this unit. See also Help:Advanced_editing for another technique with a similar result.
When creating new redirects, bear in mind that creating too many redirects can clutter up the search results page, which can hinder users. Also, don't spend too much time creating redirects — often it's more important to spend time improving the quality of the target page. A piped link is another way to make a link to a page with a name which does not occur in the first page.
Creating a redirect[edit]
If you are creating a new redirect, start a new page, write #REDIRECT [[page name]]
(or #redirect [[page name]]
) at the beginning of the page, where page name is the name of the target page. Here is an example. If you are replacing an existing page with a redirect, for example after merging a duplicate page, go to the page, edit it, and replace the existing text with #REDIRECT [[page name]]
The page will not redirect if there is anything on the page before the redirect. Also, there must be no spaces between the # and the REDIRECT.
Extra text after the #REDIRECT command and link is ignored. It is rendered only in a diff, see [1], [2], and [3]. Category tags are not ignored. If a category is set, the redirect-page is listed in the category it belongs to. When following the link from the category page to the redirect page then as usual the redirect is applied.
An edit summary is automatically provided, as displayed at MediaWiki:Autoredircomment, but only if no edit summary is supplied (as opposed to the automatic edit summary in section editing, which can be supplemented by the user).
Rendering of the redirect page[edit]
After you save the redirect page, you get sent to a page with the string "&redirect=no" in the URL. Thus the just created redirect page is shown, not the page to which it redirects. The redirect page should look something like:
From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
Redirect page
After the page title, the content of MediaWiki:Redirectpagesub (by default the text "Redirect page"), a bent arrow, and the link to the redirect target is rendered. This link shows the canonical form of the target. As mentioned previously, the text after the link to the redirect target is ignored, except for category tags.
To see your redirect working, use your address bar to delete that part of the URL. Alternatively, create a link on another page to your redirect, and then follow that link.
Changing a redirect[edit]
When changing a redirect target to a different page, or turn a redirect page into a regular page, you must go to the redirect page. To do so, click on a link to the redirect page. Then look for the link to the redirect page at the top of the page you've been redirected to; e.g.
Once you get to the redirect page, click Edit this page. You can then either change the target of the redirect, replace the redirect with a brand new page or revert to an earlier version of the article, before it became a redirect.
Another way to get to the redirect page: Go to the target page, and click "What links here". This will show you all the back-links from that page, including redirects. To change a redirect, click on it, and then click on Edit this page as previously.
Broken redirects[edit]
A broken redirect is a redirect whose target page does not exist. This type of redirect does not function and redirection will not occur. Broken redirects are logged at Special:BrokenRedirects.
On many wikis administrators simply delete them, but it is sometimes useful to keep a broken redirect and wait for the creation of the target, or to set a new target. For an example, see Help:Redirect/Broken redirect.
Template redirects[edit]
Calls to a template that redirects to another template will result in the transclusion and function of the target template. Double redirects and broken redirects do not work as usual. See also the help page on templates.
For example, we have the chain /double redirect → /single redirect → /Target. The template call {{/double redirect}} is rendered as:
- REDIRECT Help:redirect/Target
Moving a page[edit]
When a page is moved, a redirect from the old to the new pagename is automatically created.
If the new pagename is occupied by a redirect that has only one edit in its history and targeted to the old page name, it is replaced by the page being moved. If the redirect has more than one history entry, or the redirect target is somewhere else, then it can only be deleted-and-moved by an administrator.
Redirect to special targets[edit]
Interwiki redirects and redirects to special pages[edit]
Interwiki redirects and redirects to special pages have been disabled, try e.g. Help:Interwiki redirect demo and Help:Redirect to special page demo.
Use direct interwiki links (or direct links to Special pages) without redirect, or a soft redirect (non-automatic).
A redirect to an anchor[edit]
One may redirect to an anchor, in particular a section. Help:Section linking and redirects is an example and its target also provides more info. (It does not work for every environment.)
One method is the following syntax: #REDIRECT [[target_page#section_title]]
Section redirects are supposed to work from r18220 onwards. See bugzilla:218. If it does not work, you will be redirected to the correct page but you will not be sent to the intended section.
A redirect to a page in the image or category namespace[edit]
On Meta and Wikipedia a redirect to an image page or to a category shows the editable text only. To get the full page after being redirected, use the link "Image", or "Category", respectively.
On Commons a redirect to a category gives the full page, but not the subcategories and pages in the redirect page (if that is also a category).
To prevent a page that redirects to a category from appearing in the category; precede the word Category with a colon like so :
#REDIRECT [[:Category:Glossary]]
Images linking to a specific page[edit]
There are ways to make an image link to a specified page, some which work especially well on Mediawiki sites that support embedding external images. For possibilities see Help:Navigational image.
CSS class[edit]
With the new preprocessor an internal link to a redirect page has CSS class "mw-redirect". This can be useful to make them stand out, for clean-up work involving bypassing redirects.
Redirect and/or link to non-existing page[edit]
When B is a subtopic of A, and B does not have its own page, or at least not with additional info, there are the following possibilities:
- Redirect B to A, use the backlink to go from A to B (disadvantage: not very inviting to create a new content page B; inconvenient if A has many backlinks).
- Link A to B ("red link") as invitation or preparation for creating page B; use the backlink to go from B to A (disadvantage: not obvious for newbie, much less convenient than automatic redirect, especially if B has many backlinks).
- Both (indirect self-link on A). To go from A to B, click the link from A to B, which brings you back to A, and use the link in the redirect message (for detecting a redirect see hereinbefore; however, there is no distinction between a redirect back, and an onward redirect) (disadvantage, as far as not yet mentioned: not obvious for newbie).
- Ditto but with a soft redirect from B to A, i.e. a page only containing something like "See [[A]]"; one can see at A that B is very short using the stub feature (disadvantages: a soft redirect is non-standard; people who do not know about its reason may change it in a regular redirect; is a little less convenient than automatic redirect; requires stub feature setting)
- B is a redirect, link from A to B with "redirect=no", or link to B's edit page, e.g. Template and start page Template, respectively.
In the 3rd and 4th cases, especially if A has a list of links to pages B, one can mark the links with more info, e.g. by bolding, and explain the marking.

It's Good for Us
Giesbrecht continues: "We give God permission to do whatever He wants with us when we choose forgiveness instead of bitterness. This is one of the most difficult steps of faith we will ever take. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, 'Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a permanent attitude.' Forgiveness should actually begin at the time of the offense. Forgiveness is the only way to follow God in faith." It helps to take these four steps toward getting rid of the grudge.

With film the light that is focused on the frame that exposes the film and records the amount of light exactly as the lens has focused it in fine detail, forms a physical latent image recording three layers of color film to make a Red, Green and Blue image superimposed on top of each other. Then after exposure the film is developed and you have a film emulsion of layers developed into physical dye blobs that represent what the lens focused and recorded.
Does a digital sensor capture images similarly. No, it doesn't, absolutely not. So let's say to keep the numbers round the sensor chip has 3,000x4,000 sensor sites, that's 12 megapixels, or 12,000,000 sensors. To keep it simple lets assume that the sensors are equally divided between Red, Green and Blue, that's 4 million each. But with a 12 megapixel camera you get a file image that has 12 million pixels, each with an RGB value. So how does that happen? Well, the lateral association of the sets of 3 different colored pixels is calculated in relation to the surrounding pixels and an "educated" guess is made by a processor chip as to what the color balance of each pixel should be.
So now lets consider what is in each of these educated pixels and where the information came from. Lets say you are taking a picture across the street of your neighbor's house and yard, and lets say at your lens setting the image area measures 60 feet high and 80 feet wide. When the camera is focused and framed to measure the value for each sensor site, the camera is projecting a virtual matrix upon the scene. So, each section relative to each sensor site is 1/4th of an inch square in the matrix of the scene. So then when the exposure is made each sensor site measures the Red, Green or Blue light value that is the average reflected by each 1/4 inch square of the scene's matrix. If a pixel area has a part of a green leaf and a part of a brown fence within the area, the measurement is the average of those light values. So is your digital camera recording an image or is it measuring a pixel matrix, sensor site by sensor site, and recording the average value for each pixel area within the matrix? Yes, a digital camera is just that, a measuring device recording number values for the average value of light reflected from each separate pixel area in the matrix of the scene. Does any physical picture result? No, just a file of numbers.
So what does this recording look like. If the file is read by a digital editor it is line after line of numbers, with an XY number for the location of each pixel in the matrix, and a Red, a Green and a Blue number for each of those colors. If the camera is a high-end dSLR a Raw file can be made pretty much as the information comes off the sensor (called neutral or faithful), if the camera is set for no sharpening, no contrast and no saturation, in other words an essentially unprocessed Raw image as the sensor records it.
I am a curious person, so the first dSLR I used that had this option I used it, and with the camera on a tripod also shot a picture in normal mode with average sharpening, contrast and saturation enhancement. With both images opened in Photoshop there was only a vague similarity between the two, the neutral unsharpened and un-enhanced image was extremely soft, very flat in contrast and had little color saturation. In fact, using the tools in Photoshop I spent many hours trying to make the off-the-sensor image look like a "normal" shot of the same scene, and never even got close. Taking a small part of each image and then zooming in so each pixel could be seen clearly, the pixels looked a little alike in that every pixel in an image is an even flat square of tone, but the off the sensor unprocessed pixels were extremely low in value and differed little from one another.
What conclusion can one come to looking carefully at what a dSLR image sensor records, and what the images look like when "normal" settings are used? I have asked this in several items I have written, and no photographer has acknowledged that they have made the tests I have, nor ever examined what an unprocessed off the sensor raw image looks like. Apparently no one has read about how the scientists at NASA use computing, and how the images made by the Hubbel telescope are processed. I think the answers are rather obvious, but it seems to me photographers want to believe using a dSLR is no different than what we did with film well back in the 20th century. I'd like very much to hear what you, and what your thinking is, just send a note to David B. Brooks at: email@example.com

Went to the vet yesterday regarding my BLF sprained ankle.
She's been down for just about 8 weeks, the vet said yesterday that she's looking great, healing as expected and that I should start slowly working her into her normal routine.
She still limps a bit and will favor the leg on occasion but the swelling is completely gone with only a small lump on her carpel joint. The vet said the lump is most likely scare tissue and may never go away.
The whole pack will be training tomorrow.

A successful Asian foray for Coca-Cola Femsa provides a springboard for further expansion
To Mexico's Coca-Cola Femsa (KOF), the opportunity was clear. Says its CFO Héctor Treviño, when it comes to consuming soft drinks, no other market in south east Asia looks as much like a Latin American nation as the Philippines. "In other [Asian] countries you see a much higher percentage of hot beverages and tea," he notes.
Such dynamics were behind the company's...

Hypothermia is dangerously low body temperature, below 95 °F (35 °C).
Injury Considerations
Other types of cold injuries that affect the limbs are called peripheral cold injuries. Of these, frostbite is the most common freezing injury. Non-freezing injuries that occur from exposure to cold wet conditions include trench foot and immersion foot conditions. Chilblains are a type of nonfreezing injury that develops in cold, dry conditions.
You are more likely to develop hypothermia if you are:
- Very old or very young
- Chronically ill, especially persons who have heart or blood flow problems
- Malnourished
- Overly tired
- Taking certain prescription medicines
- Under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Causes of Hypothermia
Hypothermia occurs when more heat is lost than the body can make. In most cases, it occurs after long periods in the cold.
Common causes include:
- Being outside without enough protective clothing in winter
- Falling into cold water of a lake, river, or other body of water
- Wearing wet clothing in windy or cold weather
- Heavy exertion, not drinking enough fluids, or not eating enough in cold weather
Symptoms for Hypothermia
As a person develops hypothermia, they slowly lose the ability to think and move. In fact, they may even be unaware that they need emergency treatment. Someone with hypothermia also is likely to have frostbite.
The symptoms include:
- Drowsiness
- Weakness and loss of coordination
- Pale and cold skin
- Confusion
- Uncontrollable shivering (although at extremely low body temperatures, shivering may stop)
- Slowed breathing or heart rate
Lethargy, cardiac arrest, shock, and coma can set in without prompt treatment. Hypothermia can be fatal.
First Aid for Hypothermia
Take the following steps if you think someone has hypothermia:
- If the person has any symptoms of hypothermia are present, especially confusion or problems thinking, call 911 right away.
- If the person is unconscious, check airway, breathing, and circulation. If necessary, begin rescue breathing or CPR. If the victim is breathing fewer than 6 breaths per minute, begin rescue breathing.
- Take the person inside to room temperature and cover with warm blankets. If going indoors is not possible, get the person out of the wind and use a blanket to provide insulation from the cold ground. Cover the person's head and neck to help retain body heat.
- Once inside, remove any wet or tight clothes and replace them with dry clothing.
- Warm the person. If necessary, use your own body heat to aid the warming. Apply warm compresses to the neck, chest wall, and groin. If the person is alert and can easily swallow, give warm, sweetened, nonalcoholic fluids to aid the warming.
- Stay with the person until medical help arrives.
Do Not
- Do NOT assume that someone found lying motionless in the cold is already dead.
- Do NOT use direct heat (such as hot water, a heating pad, or a heat lamp) to warm the person.
- Do NOT give the person alcohol!
When to Contact a Health Professional
Call 911 anytime you suspect someone has hypothermia. Give first aid while awaiting emergency help.
Prevention of Hypothermia
Before you spend time outside in the cold, do NOT drink alcohol or smoke. Drink plenty of fluids and get enough food and rest.
Wear proper clothing in cold temperatures to protect your body. These include:
- Mittens (not gloves)
- Wind-proof, water-resistant, many-layered clothing
- Two pairs of socks (avoid cotton)
- Scarf and hat that cover the ears (to avoid major heat loss through the top of your head)
- Extremely cold temperature, especially with high winds
- Wet clothes
- Poor circulation, which is more likely from age, tight clothing or boots, cramped positions, fatigue, certain medications, smoking, and alcohol

The foundation overseeing about $3.6 million donated after the West disaster in April has now approved a third of that for residents in need, according to a post this week on its Facebook page.
"Good News: To date over $1.2 million dollars approved in funding for unmet needs of the residents of West, TX!" the post said Tuesday.
At the new year, when we last checked in on the slow pace of aid distribution, West Long-Term Recovery had approved $650,266 for payment. About two-thirds of that money had been paid. The rest awaited invoices or other paperwork from victims.
I emailed the foundation's new director, Suzanne Hack, yesterday about the progress. She replied that they hope to have $2 million in payments approved by April 17, which will mark a year after the explosion. She sent along this news release.
Among those who have now received help is the mother of Sharon Maler Rios, one of those leading the push to get the money moving faster. Rios noted the payment a few weeks ago on Facebook. "Many thanks to her caseworker, Melissa, for her help in assisting my mother in the completion of her paperwork," Rios wrote. "If you are still awaiting funds, please do not give up."

A Las Vegas man was taken into police custody on Friday after walking into a police command center and admitting he killed his wife, according to Las Vegas police.
Richard Magdayo Dahan, 40, was booked into Clark County Detention Center on one count of murder with a deadly weapon in the death of his wife of two years. Police say Dahan walked into the Las Vegas Police Northwest Area Command about 3 p.m. Friday and turned himself into a counter employee.
Police later found the body of a woman with what appeared to be multiple stab wounds at an apartment in the 6500 block of Vegas Drive.
The couple had no known history of domestic violence and neither Dahan nor his wife has a local criminal record. There was no record of calls to the residence, police said.

In its 2012 ranking of the nation's best high schools, U.S. News and World Report has ranked Milwaukee's Rufus King High School and Ronald Wilson Reagan Preparatory High School among the top 200 high schools in the country.
In the report released Tuesday, Rufus King was ranked 130th nationally and Reagan was ranked 197th. Both schools are in the Milwaukee Public Schools district.
The magazine also offers its take on the 10 best high schools in Wisconsin, where another city high school joins the list: Milwaukee School of Languages. There's also a complete ranking of Wisconsin's 543 high schools.
The magazine's methodology for analyzing 21,776 high schools in 49 states and the District of Columbia relied on looking at reading and math results on each state's high school proficiency tests and how economically disadvantaged students were doing in compared with the state average. Researchers also looked at percentages of students at the school who were taking - and passing - college-readiness Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate tests.
