Theorical and empirical implications of the new definition of unemployment in colombia
In June 2000 Colombia adopted a new definition of unemployment following the standars of the International Labour Organisation (ILO). This change implied a reduction of the unemployment rate of about two (percentage) points. In this paper we contrast the Colombian case with other countries´experiences in terms of the methodological transformation and its empirical implications. Afterwards, we test the empirical support of the change of methodology. Our results suggest specific implications on structural unemployment and its relationship to unemployment people´s educational profile; therefore, they challenge the practical application of the ILO´s standard unemployment definition to the Colombian case.

- Trail Riding
- - Gps?
Gps? I have ben searching the internet but can't find what I want. I have a German GPS unit. I was hoping I could fine some maps for local trails. The place closest to me is east fork state park. It has alot of trails for bridal, mountain bike, and hicking. I figured somplace on the internet someone would have a PGS map of state park trails. BUT I sure can't find any. does anyone know of anyplace you can find somthing like that? |
RT, You're asking for data on one of my favorite places! I rode at East Fork for many years and served with the Mounted S&R there. Wonderful place!, the Red Fox Trail is my fav! Trail maps that you can upload into a GPS are available for some areas, unfortunately not all. You can find a free printable map for East Fork's horse trails, (the north side of the park) HERE. I'm working on exactly what you're asking for through TrailMeister.com to offer in addition to the free printable trailmaps that we already have. We should have a beta feature for the downloadable GPS maps in month or so. We'll be supporting Garmin products initially. If you're interested in being a guinea pig and verifying the validity of the data transfer into your GPS, your help would be much appreciated. You can contact us by visiting www.TrailMeister.com and sending us a note through the contact us page. Hope this helps and happy trails! |
Hay thank you friend I will do that. I was on the red fox saturday. LOL im not sure what the yellow trail is named but I loved it. Lots of ups and downs wich is what I like. Next time I plan on going across the road from the horsemans area. I was told it is a harder ride with lots of hills. I would have went saturday but by the time I knew those trails where over there we had already ben out for 4 hours and I didnt want to push the horses to hard there first time out. They have ben pasture babys for a couple years now. (not my horses) Thats what got me looking for GPS maps. Do you live in the area. We plan on going to the Brown county horsemans council tonight, thinking of joining. we will see. Feel free to shoot me an email, would be nice to meet others from the area. my email is the this screen name @aol.com |

text: Making Avatars That Aren't White Dudes Is HardLuke Plunkett4/20/10 5:30amFiled to: RpgPoliticsRaceCultureWorld of WarcraftScience396EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Since the majority of video game players in the West are white, when they play a role-playing game, it's not hard to have their character looking and dressing like them. But what if you're not white? Advertisement Fox Harrell (above), an artist, computer scientist and avid gamer, has written of the problems he's run into in video game RPGs when trying to create a character that, well, looks like he does.In Elder Scrolls III and IV: I wanted to create a character I could identify as African-inspired (the "Redguard race") but then was automatically made less intelligent.In Guild Wars: Nightfall, I could make an African-inspired character - but I wanted to both have [dread]locks and wear ornate masquerade-style clothing. I could not - locks were allowed for the earthy Ranger class, and the clothes only allowed with the illusion-casting Mesmer class - never to be combined.In Phantasy Star Online, I wanted to be elegant and clean-lined, and smartly-appointed. I could only be a female robot (called a Cast), males were always boxy and hulking.In Neverwinter Nights, I could actually make a character I was very happy with, but in Neverwinter Nights 2 the style was removed.In World of Warcraft, my first inclination was to play a spectral, Undead, ghostlike character - but the males all had poor posture, distended jaws, hulking shoulders, and silly hairstyles.Harrell, a professor at Georgia Tech, is working through this by coming up with Loss, Undersea, a program that's aiming to generate an avatar for a player based not on arbitrary, pre-determined features, but by reflecting their mood and personality. Advertisement There's plenty more interesting stuff in the same vein over on Boing-Boing, so head over to check out the full thing. Or, if you'd like to roll your sleeves up, you can read Harell's paper "Computational and Cognitive Infrastructures of Stigma", which goes into a lot more detail than simply an avatar's physical appearance.Chimerical Avatars and Other Identity Experiments from Prof. Fox Harrell [Boing Boing]Reply396 repliesLeave a reply


text: Acclaimed filmmaker Ken Loach follows up on his 2000 opus Bread and Roses about a Los Angeles janitors' strike with this drama about the privatization of British Rail. Set in South Yorkshire, the film opens with familiar British Rail sign being replaced with a shiny new one reading "East Midland Infrastructure." For a group of men working at a local train station, this subtle change ends up meaning that their lives have irrevocably changed. When they learn the grim details of this privatization, their chummy sense of community begins to splinter and fall apart. Under the new regime, the customer comes first. While on paper this sounds great, in reality this new arrangement is implemented haphazardly, resulting in bitter fighting and political backstabbing. Some from the old group take the company's severance package while others soldier on. This film was screened in the 2001 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

A Message from the Principal
Dear Parents,
Welcome to an exciting year at John P. Thomas Elementary School. The staff and I are very excited that you have entrusted your child's education to us. We will make every effort to help your child achieve academically and socially this year. It is our goal to create an enriching learning environment that engages the student.
As an educator, I will make every effort to ensure that every child is treated with respect and is safe at school. I am committed to making our school the best possible place for children. Our faculty and staff are in agreement that our mission is to teach children not only academic skills but interpersonal skills as well. Academic, social and emotional well-being will be fostered at John P Thomas Elementary. We strongly encourage our students to wear school uniforms. As you shop for school items, please consider the school uniform of navy and white and khaki and white for both boys and girls. All boys are required to wear a belt, too. We strongly encourage our students to come dressed each day in their uniform.
At John P. Thomas, we believe it is important for families and schools to work together and share responsibility for student success. We value parent partnerships and want to show our students the importance of schools and families together supporting their work at school. As a part of this goal, we will emphasize some of the two- way communication tools and shared activities. You will be hearing more about these in the next few weeks.
They are:
Classroom two- way communication tools such as student agendas, communication folders, etc. (these vary by teacher and grade) so that you and your child's teacher(s) can share successes and concerns in an ongoing manner. This allows for early intervention if your child is struggling.
Different learning opportunities for families and staff on various topics throughout the year. Some of these opportunities will be at school and others at various places in our community.
In addition, we are continuing our implementation of Response to Intervention (RtI), which provides a continuum of support for students struggling in academic and behavioral areas. In RtI, families and teachers team together in intervention planning, monitoring and decision- making as to needed student support.
Collaboration, cooperation and open communication between home and school are keys to building a strong foundation for a successful school year. I encourage and invite parent and community involvement in an effort to build a positive and successful educational experience for each of your children. So, in an effort to begin this partnership, we encourage you to be active in our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) meetings and your child's education. "Parents lay the foundation for their children's lives; teachers help support the structure."This is a great way to get involved at John P. Thomas, meet other parents of students from the various communities that attend our school, and to plan for a great year together. With a strong home- school connection your child will grow and flourish into successful adults.
The Parent-Student Handbook contains information about the school day and policies that are necessary in its day to day operation. The goal of our school is excellence, and striving to reach this goal is a cooperative effort on the part of the students, teachers, administrators, parents and community. We would like parents to become actively involved in all school activities.
We will encourage all of our students to strive for academic excellence, to model attributes of good citizenship, and to be an active participant in school activities. Students will be expected to demonstrate good conduct and to be responsible for completing class work and all homework assignments. Only with parent cooperation can we continually assist your child in obtaining a high quality education.
I strongly encourage parents to be active in school activities, to volunteer in the classroom when possible, and to stay informed about your child's progress at school. We will communicate with you regularly through the agenda, notices and announcements, phone calls, the school newsletters, the district's auto-dialer, e-mail, etc.
Please read this handbook very carefully with your child(ren). Your knowledge of the material in this handbook can help eliminate misunderstandings that could develop during the school year. For those families who use Internet regularly, sign up for our school's list serve. Instructions as to how to do this are included in your child's first day packet. If you have questions or concerns regarding the operation of our school, please contact a staff member or me for further clarification. I also invite you to visit our school's web site and to e-mail the teachers with your questions. I look forward to your support for a great year of learning at John P. Thomas Elementary School.

McCormick & Murphy, P.C. is a personal injury and auto accident law firm operating in Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and Denver Colorado. They have a modest staff of two attorneys, and specialize in representing victims in a range of personal injury practice areas including vehicle accidents, product liability, wrongful death, premises accidents, among others.
Project Overview
URL: http://www.mccormickmurphy.com/
Services: Legal Representation for Victims in Personal Injury and Accident Cases
Campaign Components: On-Site Design and Optimization, Organic SEO, Local SEO, Video Marketing
Time Frame: January, 2012 – Present
Denver, Colorado 80206
(303) 321-3272
Campaign Background
Ethical SEO Consulting approached McCormick & Murphy, P.C. about their marketing efforts and learned that they were frustrated with pay-per-click campaigns, managed by large 3rd party vendors, which had not produced the results they were looking for. We put together a plan for re-designing their site with conversion optimization in-mind, as well as a combination full scale local and organic SEO campaign, in order to drive leads to the site via organic search.
The Challenge
Just a couple of months into the project we realized that the client's previous domain had been a victim of both malware and negative SEO efforts. We diagnosed the problem and determined that the best course of action would be a complete domain migration. We migrated the site to their current domain using Google's best practice techniques. Within a week of the migration we had recovered first page organic rankings that had been lost months before.
From there, we were able to set very defined goals and have thus far achieved substantial results.
- Generate solid leads via organic and local optimization (something that was not being accomplished with their previous PPC efforts).
- Establish the site as an authority, and achieve high rankings for keywords that will produce more leads and more cases.
Strategy Implementation
- Complete on-site optimization
- Off-site Optimization
- Local SEO
- Video Marketing

Okay - I've been away for ages and there seems to be some new concept 'standard' cards... i don't really know what they are.... but it seems virtually none of my cards are... 'standard'. Could use a little help to understand what this all means and... i don't really understand why it's in the game.... Anyone want to explain? : I tried searching for it but no clear answers :
But why are some new cards like Frozn standard and oooooldddd cards not standard?
Standard cards include:
- Cards released in the last 2 1/2 years
- Leaders
- Basic beginner cards (so new players can play standard format)
A large amount of Skeelz are going to leave standard including Caelus Cr
you should read the link before posting anything..
Create a list of characters called "Standard" which will be reset half-yearly.
In this list you'll find
"all characters (and LD too) released within the =="three last years before the update" ===,
Leaders, starter deck characters and characters released after the update. You'll find 13 to 16 characters in each clan. New clan will keep all their characters.
that's the answer
to answer why: because they want to make a balanced room without any strong old OP cards like Jackie Cr, zatman, etc

Kathryn Phillips, (916) 798-3239, email@example.com
(Fresno, CA - October 31, 2006) - Three organizations representing residents of the San Joaquin Valley will take legal action today to support regulators' efforts to protect public health in one of the most polluted air basins in the country by reducing air pollution caused by new development projects.
Environmental Defense, Medical Advocates for Healthy Air (MAHA) and the Sierra Club will jointly file a motion today to intervene in the Fresno County Superior Court case of California Building Industry Association, et al. vs. the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. The motion supports the air district's authority to implement the landmark "indirect source rule" it adopted last December. It requires that developers of larger new residential, commercial and industrial projects reduce indirect pollution caused by construction activities and traffic linked to the development through a range of actions that reduce traffic or improve energy efficiency. If it is not feasible to reduce pollution at the development site, the developers have the option of paying a fee that the air district uses to buy and apply emissions reduction technologies elsewhere in the district.
"The indirect source rule is an indispensable piece in the puzzle to clean up the air in one of the most polluted air basins in the country," said Kathryn Phillips, manager of Environmental Defense's clean air campaign in the San Joaquin Valley. "Clean air depends on everyone playing a part in the clean up. Unfortunately, the California Building Industry Association is resisting being part of the solution."
"I see children and adults everyday who are suffering from lung disease aggravated by the region's air pollution," said Kevin Hamilton, a Fresno-based respiratory therapist and co-founder of MAHA. "We can't continue to stand by and do nothing. The California Building Industry Association's lawsuit essentially suggests that developers shouldn't look for ways to stop air pollution, and I just don't buy that."
Sierra Club members in the San Joaquin Valley have actively challenged developers' efforts to build without mitigating environmental impacts, especially in Kern County.
"We supported the indirect source rule because it provides a way for developers to systematically address the air pollution they cause through the choices they make about where to site projects and how to design projects. A number of developers down here agree," said Gordon Nipp, a Sierra Club member in Kern County. "It's disappointing that the industry's statewide trade association is so out of sync with its local member companies."
The air quality advocates are represented by the law firm of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, a nationwide firm with offices in Palo Alto.

You've been asked to evaluate a program, but you're not sure where you need to go or how you're going to get there. Focusing an evaluation is a little bit like choosing a map. There are wonderful maps that show the world in detail. They not only have all the continents, but show the bodies of water, the countries, the mountains, their elevations, and almost all cities. Very complete, but very overwhelming.
Then there are very specific maps, some which only show a particular street or a small group of streets. This will serve its purpose of allowing you to find a specific house, but difficult to place that house within the larger context of its city or state or even country. You choose a map by where you're trying to go, how you're going to get there (a map of the roads doesn't do you any good if you're trying to get from Boston to Paris), who's going to use the map (is it the driver, the pilot or the ship's captain) and what information you need to get to your destination. You focus an evaluation the same way as you choose a map. You need to know who will be using your evaluation, what specifics you and they are going to be looking for, what information you need to get, how you can get this information and then draw your map on how to find these specifics. Books have been written about this (a great one to use is "How to Focus an Evaluation" by Brian M. Stecher and W. Alan Davis). Determine the purpose of the evaluation. Who are the users of the program? Are they the same ones who want the evaluation? What do they want evaluated? (Who's going to be going on the trip, and do they all want to go the same place in the same way?)
Collect and read as much as you can about the program. Talk to people and ask questions. (After all, it's the people who live there who can draw the best map. Would you want a map drawn by someone who has never seen or heard of the place?)
Describe the program. Write it down, draw it up, see if you really understand the program and what is requested. (If your map doesn't look similar to an existing map, are you sure it's the right map?)
Visualize what you will do. Assess your strengths and weaknesses in performing this evaluation. Do you have the necessary tools to complete this evaluation? (If you don't have a boat, an airplane or a bridge, how are you going to get across that body of water?)
Share your preliminary discoveries with the staff. Are you really heading in the right direction? (Even Columbus got lost.)
Be prepared to stop and ask directions along the way. Even the best maps can become out of date quickly. The user may have changed the focus along the way, you may have gotten off the road, or maybe a detour has been set up. Be sure to keep your map and your focus up to date. (Have you ever ridden around town with someone who absolutely refuses to ask directions, yet insists on driving around aimlessly?) And finally, don't be afraid to go back to the point where you started and try your map again. You may get where you want to go a lot faster the second time. by Bea Stankard

Protectionism worry drags on stocks, dollar hits six-week low
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-global-markets-idUSKBN16R015?feedTypNEW YORK The U.S. dollar slumped to a six-week low on Monday on worries over a dovish Federal Reserve, while U.S. and European stock markets dipped amid concerns about G20 financial leaders' decision to drop a pledge to keep global trade free and open.
The dollar index .DXY, which measures the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, was flat at 100.32 after touching its lowest since Feb. 7 of 100.020. The index extended last week's weakness following recent interest-rate guidance from the U.S. Fed that was less hawkish than many had expected.
Caution prevailed over U.S. and European stock markets after financial leaders of the world's biggest economies made only a token reference to trade on Saturday, acquiescing to an increasingly protectionist United States after a two-day G20 meeting failed to yield a compromise.
European stocks closed modestly lower on the day, with a 3.7-percent fall in Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE) shares hurting banking stocks.
Worries that Trump's plan to cut taxes and boost the economy could take longer than previously expected also weighed on U.S. shares Monday. Still, the benchmark U.S. S&P 500 stock index is up more than 11 percent since the election of U.S. President Donald Trump in November, spurred by optimism over his plans to reform the tax code and cut regulation.
"It's just one more day delaying talking about policy," said Ian Winer, director of trading at Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles. "The market wants tax reform, and you need to get healthcare done before you get tax reform."
The tech-heavy U.S. Nasdaq Composite index briefly bucked the trend and hit a record intraday peak of 5,915.120 before easing from that high.
MSCI's all-country world equity index was last down 0.16 points, or 0.04 percent, at 451.1 .MIWD00000PUS.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI closed down 8.76 points, or 0.04 percent, at 20,905.86. The S&P 500 .SPX ended down 4.78 points, or 0.20 percent, at 2,373.47. The Nasdaq Composite .IXIC ended up 0.53 points, or 0.01 percent, at 5,901.53.
Europe's broad FTSEurofirst 300 index .FTEU3 ended 0.23 percent lower at 1,488.36.
The dollar's earlier drop to a multi-week low against major rivals made dollar-priced gold cheaper for non-U.S. investors, helping spot gold prices XAU= hit a two-week peak of $1,235.50 an ounce.
"Even though (the Fed) hiked (rates), the perception was that they were mildly dovish. We are seeing continuing dollar sluggishness on the back of that," said Brad Bechtel, managing director at Jefferies in New York in reference to the dollar's earlier weakness.
Oil prices fell as investors continue to grapple with worries about growing U.S. oil output and high inventories.
Brent crude LCOc1 settled down 14 cents, or 0.27 percent, at $51.62 a barrel. U.S. crude CLc1 settled down 56 cents, or 1.15 percent, at $48.22 a barrel.
U.S. Treasury prices gained as Chicago Federal Reserve President Charles Evans reiterated the U.S. central bank's view that two more interest rate hikes this year. Benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury notes US10YT=RR yields hit a two-week low of 2.466 percent.

Remember that Patrick Wilson episode of Girls where he and Lena Dunham spent two days together, enjoying steaks and sex with each other and the water pressure in Patrick Wilson's absurdly large and glass-walled shower? I remember it, because it made me feel weird, which is apparently the exact same argument that Lena got from everyone after that episode. (Or at least all the h8terz, you know what I mean?)
"That was the only argument I heard: "It feels weird to me." And I'm like, "Dude, I get it. It felt weird to kiss an actor that looked like Patrick Wilson." I get so tired of having to cry out "misogyny," but that's what's going on in this situation. People questioning the idea that a woman could sleep with a man who defied her lot in the looks bracket hews so closely to these really outdated ideas about what makes a woman worth spending time with. Really? Can you not imagine a world in which a girl who's sexually down for anything and oddly gregarious pulls a guy out of his shell for two days? They're not getting married. They're spending two days [having sex], which is something that people do."
I mean yeah. I'm not always the biggest fan of Lena (or her BFF-ship with Taylor Swift), but she has a solid point here. The reason the episode made me feel weird was because I was specifically weirded out by some of the things that Lena's character Hannah said to Joshua, like when she told him to beg her to stay. That felt super weird and cringe-y to me, but not necessarily in a fake way, just a way I didn't enjoy watching. The whole episode was so uncomfortably intimate, which is I think exactly what she intended. We've all done and said things or had whirlwind romances that make absolutely no sense by the light of day (let's all take a moment to privately cringe about some of them, like I'm doing now), and the Girls version just happened to involve a handsomer-than-average man. But Lena's 100% right, that so was not the point. The fact that a super handsome guy was interested in a super extroverted and uninhibited girl was by no means the weirdest part of the episode, and if it felt that way to you, then that's disappointing for all us girls out here with personalities. And also Patrick's wife,
HEY YA'LL CHECK OUT MY BIG SEXY BRAINS. Or don't, whatever, just bear in mind that I'm gonna be wearing really low-cut skulls all summer in order to show them off.

I am sure most of you have seen this zombie craziness going on right now. There I am in Nagrand the other day and this is what I come across:
Well when I realized that in zombie form, you can port from Shatt to the Horde capital cities, the little wheels in my head quickly started turning. The first thought in my head was, "Oh, could be an easy way to get to Orgrimmar to do the achievements related to fishing there!" So I tried that last night.
I went to Shatt, became infected, then waited to turn into a zombie. Then I ported from Shatt to Org. Now as soon as I ported, I was booted out and it took me a bit to log back on. When I was able to log back on, I had died! But the good thing is that the place where you port into in Org is a little hut area on top of water. Right below it there are a bunch of rocks and stuff where you can rez and easily hide. So that is what I did. From there I just cast a line and fished up one fish, getting the achievement to fish something in Stormwind and Org.
Well then I decided to try to stealth around in kitty form and check out the city and see what else I could do. I ended up going into Ragefire Chasm and killed the main boss in there. I was going to try to fish for Old Crafty inside the waterfall in the Valley of Honor, but I had died so much finding my way and getting into Ragefire Chasm (being detected by guards) that I left it for another time. I wonder if Elixirs of Camouflage or anything could help being detected by the guards so much...

Bright Eyes
- Rated: PG
- Genre: Classic
- Release Year: 1934
- Running Time: 90 minutes
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Shirley's mother dies in a car accident halfway through the film. Plus, Joy and her parents are mean and manipulative toward her. Shirley remains happy despite losing both parents, which may be confusing to kids. Shirley also hitchhikes and runs around by herself in adult places, like airports and down streets.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
What's the story?
Shirley Temple stars as Shirley Blake, the sweet and cheerful daughter of Mary, a maid whose husband died in the war. Mary keeps his memory alive by wearing his pilot's wings on her uniform, and the pilots at the nearby airport who knew and loved Mary's husband and family. When Shirley isn't hitchhiking to the airport to see her pilot buddy Loop (James Dunn), she's avoiding Joy (Jane Withers), the nasty daughter of the selfish family Mary works for. When Mary suffers a terrible accident, her friends and family must decide what to do with "Bright Eyes," Uncle Ned's (Charles Sellon) affectionate name for Shirley. Along the way, Shirley enchants everyone in her path.
Is it any good?
Like the song at the center of the film, "On the Good Ship Lollipop," Bright Eyes is a sweet story with a candy coating. But there are some sad, bitter scenes in the center of this confection that may be too tough on younger viewers, and there are a lot of things that kids today probably won't relate to. This Depression-era film has a certain kind of class consciousness: the rich people are mean, nasty, and manipulative, prone to throwing fits, lying, and cheating to get what they want.
The class divide is most obvious between out-of-control Joy (Jane Withers) and Shirley. If the difference between Shirley and Joy is that Joy is cruel and Shirley is always kind and sweet, that leaves no room for Shirley to be sad about her mother's death. Shirley cries once but then is happy ever after. For kids who often feel like they have to make others around them happy, this isn't the right message.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about how it's OK to be sad when you lose someone you love. Why do you think they gave Shirley such a sunny attitude after losing both parents? Parents can talk about what was going on in 1934 that may have led to the popularity of Shirley Temple movies.

You have come here
In pursuit of your deepest urge
In pursuit of that wish which till now has been silent, silent
I have brought you
That our passions may fuse and merge
In your mind you've already succumbed to me
Dropped your defenses, completely succumbed to me
And now you are here with me
No second thoughts
You've decided, decided
Passed the point of no return, no backward glances
Our games of make-believe are at an end
Passed all thought of if or when, no use resisting
Abandon thought and let the dream descend
What raging fire shall flood the soul?
What rich desire unlocks it's door?
What sweet seduction lies before us?
Passed the point of no return, the final threshold
What warm unspoken secrets will we learn?
Beyond the point of no return
You have brought me
To that moment where words run dry
To that moment where speech disappears
Into silence, silence
I have come here, hardly knowing the reason why
In my mind I've already imagined
Our bodies entwining defenseless and silent
And now I am here with you
No second thoughts
I've decided, decided
Passed the point of no return, no going back now
Our passion play has now at last begun
Passed all thought of right or wrong, one final question
How long should we two wait, before we're one?
When will the blood begin to race?
The sleeping bud burst into bloom?
When will the flames at last consume us?
Passed the point of no return, the final threshold
The bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn
We've passed the point of no return
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Lead me, save me from my solitude
Say you want me with you here beside you
Anywhere you go let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of...

Pistorius accused of lying in court
Oscar Pistorius was an "appalling witness" who repeatedly lied in his testimony in a crude attempt to defend himself against a murder charge over killing his girlfriend, the chief prosecutor at his trial has said.
During closing arguments, Gerrie Nel also harshly criticised the legal team of the double-amputee, saying it floated more than one theory about what happened on the night he shot Reeva Steenkamp through a closed toilet door in his home.
He said defence lawyers had argued that Pistorius acted in self-defence, fearing an intruder was in the house, but also raised the possibility that he was not criminally responsible, accidentally shooting Ms Steenkamp because he was "startled".
"It's two defences that you can never reconcile," Mr Nel said as Pistorius sat behind him in the dock. The once-celebrated athlete appeared calm, in contrast to some past occasions during which he retched and wailed in apparent distress.
The fathers of the Olympic runner and Ms Steenkamp, a model and television personality, were in the Pretoria courthouse for the first time since the trial began in early March.
They sat at opposite ends of a long bench in the gallery. Pistorius is said to be estranged from his father, Henke, and Ms Steenkamp's father, Barry, has been ill.
Pistorius' older brother Carl, who has regularly attended court sessions, is in an intensive care unit in a South African hospital and was on a ventilator because of injuries suffered in a serious car crash last week, the Pistorius family said.
Barry Roux, the chief defence lawyer, listened and checked files as Mr Nel spoke for hours, occasionally urged by Judge Thokozile Masipa to speed up.
He elaborated on the prosecution's written arguments of more than 100 pages that were submitted to the court last week. Mr Roux will present his final arguments on Friday before Judge Masipa adjourns the trial to deliberate with two legal assistants on a verdict.
The prosecution has argued that Pistorius intentionally shot Ms Steenkamp before dawn on February 14 last year after a quarrel. The defence has contended that he fired by mistake, thinking he was about to be attacked by an assailant in the toilet and that she was in the bedroom.
Pistorius was vague in allegations that police had possibly tampered with evidence around the scene of the shooting, including fans and a bed cover strewn on the floor of his bedroom, according to Mr Nel.
It was also improbable that the athlete, in his version, rushed with his gun to investigate a purported sound in the bathroom without first trying to talk to Ms Steenkamp and confirm that she was safe, the prosecutor said.
"We cannot argue that he was the worst witness ever, that honour belongs to someone else," said the prosecution's written argument. "The accused was, however, demonstrably one of the worst witnesses ever encountered."
The prosecution said Pistorius "used well-calculated and rehearsed emotional outbursts to deflect the attention and avoid having to answer questions".
A psychologist who examined Pistorius during a court-ordered observation period concluded he had become severely traumatised since the killing and could become an increasing suicide risk unless he continues to get mental health care.
In addition to the murder charge, Pistorius faces three separate gun-related charges, one of which stems from his alleged firing of a shot in a crowded restaurant in Johannesburg, months before he killed Ms Steenkamp. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Because South Africa has no trial by jury, Judge Masipa will decide whether Pistorius committed murder, is guilty of a negligent killing, or if he made a tragic error and should be acquitted.
The runner faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted of premeditated murder, and would also be sent to prison for years if found guilty of murder without premeditation or culpable homicide.
Earlier, Judge Masipa told Mr Nel and Mr Roux that they had only until the end of Friday to complete their final arguments in court.
"Unless, of course, you want to work on a Saturday and perhaps Sunday, after church," she said, smiling.
The prosecution argues Pistorius knew Ms Steenkamp was in the bathroom.
Mr Nel ended his closing argument by saying he was guilty of premeditated murder because he then "made up his mind" to find his gun, walk through to the bathroom and shoot.
"That, my lady, is pre-planning," he said to the judge.
Mr Nel said Pistorius should still be convicted of murder even if the court accepts he did not know it was Ms Steenkamp in the toilet cubicle.
He argued the athlete intentionally shot at and killed a person with no reason to believe his life was under threat.
Mr Roux began his final arguments before Judge Masipa postponed proceedings until tomorrow for the defence to finish.
He noted that some of the evidence at the scene, which Mr Nel referred to, had been moved around by investigators.
"We're not talking about a conspiracy," Mr Roux said, calling it unintentional.
He also noted that Hilton Botha, the former chief investigating officer in the case, had acknowledged mistakes in police procedure but was not called by the state as a trial witness.

Laser pierce control now standard on cutting machines
TRUMPF's pierce control system (PCS) now is a standard feature on the company's TC L 3030 and TC L 4030 laser cutting machines.
The system continuously monitors and adjusts pierce parameters in real-time to reduce pierce time and improve pierce hole quality, making smaller laser-cut holes possible, the company says. It also eliminates the need for pierce dwell times.
Using a combination of new beam delivery hardware and machine control software, the system is designed to deliver soft-pierce quality at quick-pierce speeds, the company reports. It is most effective on 1/8-in. and thicker materials, on which shorter pierce times could negatively affect pierce quality.
The system also is a standard feature on the company's TC L 3050 and TC L 4050 5,000-W laser cutting machines.

Is there a business Honda's not in? Back in 2003, Honda came up with plans for a new experimental compact business jet equipped with Honda-developed HF118 jet engines. Now, after three years of tinkering with it, they've now set up a way to sell the little bastards. They've signed an alliance with Florida-based we have a Piper down Aircraft, Inc, for sales and marketing support and now it looks like Honda's goal of taking to the skies is ready to take flight. All we know is it never bodes well for a company doing well in auto sales to suddenly decide to shovel money by crook and by foot into the money pit that is aircraft development. Good to see that other companies can head down the same shit-hole taken by luminaries such as SAAB.AdvertisementHonda jumps into jet market [Freep]Related: Line 'Em Up!

Fedun back to normal summer training
by Ryan Dittrick / Edmonton OilersCertain moments can leave a more damaging impression if you witness them live and in person. Sitting high above the ice at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, MN, I was certain a promising young player's career had come to an end.
As Taylor Fedun awkwardly slammed into the boards behind Devan Dubnyk, the rink went silent. A pin drop would have been deafening, but a welcomed distraction at that, as the eerie quiet was short-lived.
Within seconds, screams filled the air and time stood still. Oilers Athletic Therapist T.D. Forss rushed to Fedun's side -- others did, too, as the situation worsened.
Just as Fedun's nightmarish cries rattled me, I did my best to explain what happened in that night's game story. Accidental or not, I didn't hold back on Eric Nystrom's careless play. It didn't help that I glanced over my right shoulder and saw the scratches in the press box -- most notably, Ryan Smyth -- standing and staring at the ice in obvious concern.
The Oilers went on to the win the game 4-3 in a shootout. But you'd never have guessed it, given the team's post-game mood.
That night, we boarded the plane and air-bussed our way to Vancouver. Fedun, along with Athletic Therapist Chris Davie, were noticeably absent on the silent, four-hour trek.
There wasn't a single person who didn't feel the emotional impact of what we'd all been a part of. So when I got a chance to catch up with the 24-year-old prospect Sunday at Rexall Place, his story had become all the more miraculous.
255 days later, Fedun isn't thinking about his once-broken leg anymore. He's training like normal, as if he'd played the 2011-12 campaign as he should have.
"I tried to get to the point where -- once summer training started – I'd forgotten about everything that happened in the past and I could train as if I did play the season," he said.
"I'm at the point now where I'm back with the group that I've trained with every summer, and I'm not thinking too much about [my leg]."
Fedun's recovery involved multiple surgeries, a wheelchair, crutches, pools and everything in between to help heal, rehabilitate and rebuild strength. The process was as speedy (relatively speaking) as it was phenomenal, giving the Princeton graduate an opportunity to return to full team, full contact practices late in the season.
"The way the progression worked out, I was skating on my own with the skills coach [for a while]," he said, noting that the process helped eliminate any back-at-it nerves. "Then, with a couple guys (with no contact) and then back at practice. Small steps like that helped me not think about it too much, and I didn't have to."
The 6'2", 190-pound rearguard was having a sensational pre-season prior to the incident, halting his chance to establish a permanent spot on the Oilers' roster. But Fedun isn't concerned, as he's prepared to take what he's learned over the past year and apply it to next, beginning later this month at the club's week-long prospect development camp.
"I wouldn't be putting in all the time if I didn't think there was an opportunity to be here at some point next year," he said with a determined smile. "Ultimately, I'm trying to prepare as well as I did last summer -- if not better, because I feel like I know a little bit more about what to expect, whereas last year I didn't. I'm going to keep working hard and taking all the opportunities I have, like at development camp."
"There were so many highlights throughout the year (2011-12). We've got so much young talent and there were so many glimpses of what we want to be. That's something to be excited about heading into next year."
So is the tale and pedigree of this well-spoken prospect, whose career is back on the rails.
That, too, is pretty memorable.

Superfood Smoothie Bowl
Did you ever notice how every food is now a "superfood"? Also most foods are now also detox foods. People need to slow their roll with putting food into categories.
Anyway, I know I owe you about a million two travel recaps along with a ton of other stuff I want to share, but I haven't had the chance to create a recipe for a couple weeks and this takes a lot less brain effort to write then something I have to go fact-check.
Nicaragua was amazing. I'll recap fully soon, I promise. Of course the first place I made my dad stop after he picked me up from the airport (at 11 p.m.) was the grocery store to buy spinach. I had been feeling pretty gross my whole trip and couldn't wait to start eating super clean again.
I just felt like I ate so much when I really didn't. I was just eating differently than normal (trying to eat for energy – surfing is hard work!) and I start to feel weird when I'm not eating a ton of veggies and protein. After Tuesday, I made the exec decision I was no longer going to eat white rice… I don't love it, my body doesn't love it, I might as well spend the calories somewhere else and eat something satisfying.
Sunday morning, I woke up pretty hungry from not eating anything substantial on Saturday (the Managua and Houston airports both lack healthy options and plane food is probably just injected with sodium). I also knew I needed vegetables stat. I had a smoothie bowl at this cool raw foods cafe in San Juan del Sur and decided to just Cassie-fy it. I was a little cold after breakfast but I suddenly had a ton of energy and felt like myself again. Oh, and did I mention it was delicious?
Superfood Smoothie Bowl
- 2 huge handfuls spinach
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup ice
- ½ cup coconut water
- ½ scoop vanilla protein powder
- ¼ cup raw rolled oats
- ¼ avocado
- ½ banana
- ¼ cup blueberries
- 2 tbsp Purely Elizabeth Blueberry Hemp Granola
- 1 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 tbsp shredded coconut
- Put spinach, frozen strawberries, ice, coconut water, protein powder and oats. into your blender and blend until smooth. It should be a little thicker than a normal smoothie and not flow out of the container - you should have to use a spatula to get it all out.
- Put smoothie into a bowl.
- Add remaining ingredients as toppings and try not to get a brain freeze as you dig in (this is coming from experience).

From my daughter: I've been reading about the new bill that was passed by the senate, what does it mean exactly? How is it different than what we have now? What does it mean for Guantanamo, Anything? My Answer:
1. Both Bush and Obama have claimed the right to kill and capture alleged terrorists anywhere in the world or hold them in military detention indefinitely—ie Guantanamo.
In their view the world is a battlefield—not just Afghanistan and Iraq.
Their claim is that alleged terrorists –at least those related to al Qaeda, Taliban and associated forces (whatever that means) are at war with the United States and that the US can make war on them which includes capturing them and holding them forever without trial—no matter where they are: Yemen, Somalia, United Kingdom, South America or anywhere.
The determination of whom to capture and/or kill is made by the President without any court.
Bush and Obama have always claimed that US citizens can be so treated as well—so that is why under Obama we saw the killing of an American citizen by a drone in Yemen—al-alwaki.
Both Presidents have also acted as if they can kill and capture alleged terrorists that have no relationship to 9/11—the new law confirms this practice.
2. CCR and I have always asserted that the attack on the World Trade Center was a criminal act and that the people allegedly involved in that act or other similar acts against the US at other places in the world should be treated as alleged criminals, arrested, and tried in regular courts. And we think we are right on the law—especially international law.
Unfortunately, CCR's position is not the position of Obama or the courts in the US—and we have mostly lost on this issue—that is one reason Guantanamo and the polices that underlie it are still there and will be for a long time.
3. What the legislation does is make what have been the practices of Bush and Obama into law—prior to this legislation, it was more or less what the presidents did—but without congress passing a law.
So in that sense the legislation does not make worse many of the bad practices of Bush and Obama—but it does make it harder to change back because now congress is behind it. Of course it's bad for that reason but the real blame here is on Bush and Obama.
4. Many of those writing about the legislation are upset that it may require the President to put US citizens captured in the US into military custody—the legislation does not do that—but it does not prohibit the president from doing so. In fact Bush did that in a case called Padilla. —he is an American citizen who got off a plane in Chicago and was allegedly going to commit an act of terrorism. He was put into military custody and only given a trial to avoid a Supreme Court ruling on whether holding him in military custody without trial was constitutional.
Conclusion: Obama already broke his promise on closing Guantanamo; he has gone along with most of the Bush policies regarding Guantanamo and the "war on terror:" indefinite detention, military trials etc. This law gives a congressional imprimatur to what he has been doing—and requires him to jump through some more hoops to get people out of Guantanamo. However Obama had already made it almost impossible to close Guantanamo and impossible to end the practices which underlie it—as he supports those policies: this law makes it a bit harder.
