Over the past two decades prominent sports auction houses have regularly offered items both stolen and suspected to have been stolen from the collections housed at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Rare photographs, correspondence and documents chronicling the history of the National Pastime were long rumored to have been contraband and have recently been confirmed as purloined items as a result of Haulsofshame.com's investigative reporting over the past year.
In the past six months, Heritage Auction Galleries of Dallas, Texas, has offered and removed several documents believed to have been stolen from the National Baseball Library's famous "August Herrmann Papers"collection. On several occasions we've informed Heritage that letters written by Hall of Famers Joe Tinker, Fred Clarke, Kenesaw Mountain Landis and others written by White Sox owner Charles Comiskey appeared to have originated from the Hall's Herrmann Papers archive. Heritage's Director of Sports Auctions, Chris Ivy, was able to view PDF files from the Hall of Fame containing the specific files supporting claims that Heritage auction lots were believed to have originated from the "Herrmann Papers." In each instance, Ivy removed the letters from the Heritage sales.
Just two weeks ago, Heritage sold another letter written by American League President Ban Johnson to August Herrmann on October 2, 1913. Haulsofshame.com learned about the sale of the Johnson letter after the auction ended and was unable to inform Heritage the letter likely originated from the Hall of Fame's collection.
The "Herrmann Papers" collection was donated to the Hall of Fame in 1960 by Major League owner Powel Crosley Jr. and included all of the correspondence of the Cincinnati Reds and their owner August "Garry" Herrmann spanning from 1902 to 1927." The collection is considered by historians as the most important and valuable archive of baseball documents in the world. Historian Dorothy Seymour Mills knows, first hand, how important the archive is. Says Seymour Mills, "The materials in those boxes are priceless for historians, as August Herrmann was also the head of Baseball's National Commission and presided over business in both leagues." Her late husband, Dr. Harold Seymour, called the collection, "The most important unpublished material used in (his) research."
The appearance at public auction of items wrongfully removed from this great collection went relatively unnoticed for decades, but the recent cataloguing and conservation of the archive by the National Baseball Library staff has provided key information in uncovering the long-time mystery of the sales of correspondence addressed to Reds owner August Herrmann, League Presidents and the National Commission.
Now, nearly two decades since the alleged thefts occurred, our exclusive interview with a former Hall of Fame employee confirms that the prime suspect in a late 1980's FBI investigation of theft at the Cooperstown shrine was Antiques Roadshow appraiser and Heritage Galleries consignment director, Mike Gutierrez. Gutierrez' employer, Heritage, is also currently auctioning yet another two rare documents that originated from the Hall of Fame's Herrmann Papers archive. One is a 1914 letter to Herrmann from Hall of Famer Ed Barrow (part of Lot 41100), and the other is a 1914 letter to Herrmann from American League President Ban Johnson (Lot 41101). Both letters were written to thank Herrmann for sending a complimentary season pass for Red's games for that season. Both letters originate from the Hall of Fame's Herrmann files located in "Folder 8, Box 3." That same folder is designated as including letters regarding: "Season Pass-Thank You (various major League teams) 1914″. The Hall of Fame's Herrmann archive includes over 25 folders full of hundreds of letters from Johnson to Herrmann spanning from 1902 to 1926. Folder 2 of Box 52 features correspondence from Johnson to Herrmann spanning from 1911 to 1917, which also includes season-pass related correspondence. Click here for: PDF file of, "Folder 2, Box 52, from the Hall of Fame.
The letters addressed to Herrmann first began showing up in public auctions in the early 1990s. One of the first letters to surface was a 1912 letter from Ban Johnson to August Herrmann that appeared in a 1992 sale conducted by Superior Auctions of Beverly Hills, California, an auction house that Mike Gutierrez was affiliated with at that time as a consultant. In that letter, Lot 998, Johnson thanks Herrmann for sending a Reds season pass to a friend named "Frank Teagardin." Further proof that this letter was stolen from the Hall of Fame files still exists in "Folder 7, Box 3″ of the Herrmann Papers, which still includes the actual letter Johnson sent requesting the pass for just three days earlier. Johnson wrote, "Can you favor me with a pass for Frank Teagardin, to the Cincinnati Ball Park this summer?" In the 1992 Superior Auction letter Johnson writes, "I am in receipt of a pass for Frank Teagardin." File folder 7 of Box 3 in the Herrmann Papers collection is designated "Season Pass- Thank You" for 1912.
Gutierrez also offered another Ban Johnson letter to August Hermann in his own "Mike Gutierrez Auctions" sale in December of 2003. In that April 5, 1905 letter sent to Herrmann, Johnson includes an American League season pass for the Reds owner. Haulsofshame.com has also viewed a copy of a receipt for a direct sale Gutierrez made to a private collector of another Ban Johnson letter addressed to August Herrmann.
Gutierrez' history at the Baseball Hall of Fame dates back to the mid 1980s. In the summer of 1986 hobby veteran Lew Lipset reported in his newsletter, The Old Judge, that Gutierrez was compiling an "autograph price survey" for items signed by Baseball Hall of Famers. Lipset referenced Gutierrez' visits to Cooperstown stating, "Mike has spent many hours at the Baseball Hall of Fame documenting autographs."
According to an ex-Hall of Fame employee, Gutierrez' last of several trips to Cooperstown appears to have occurred in the Fall of 1987 or 1988. Bill Deane, who held the post as the National Baseball Library's Senior Research Associate from 1986 to 1994, recalls the week long visit Gutierrez made to the library that year. Deane remembers, "He was there for a week or so with another guy and when he first got there it was clear he had been there before, but not since I started at the Hall in 1986. He was acting like he was everybody's best friend." Deane states that Gutierrez had propositioned Hall of Fame officials asking if they would send out inquiries to survivors of deceased players on his behalf to purchase baseball artifacts. Deane recalls Gutierrez' offer to the Hall was that, in return, he would "donate a portion of the items he acquired to the Museum." But that deal never happened.
Deane remembers Gutierrez handling many files of photographs in the library and described the area in which he viewed the materials. "There was a set of tables in the middle of the room where researchers were set up and we'd pull files for them or in some cases, people would pull their own files." Deane described a very casual environment with virtually no controls in regards to the security of the items researchers were viewing. Deane recalls, "At that time there was no security at the Hall and there were times when there would have been no employees in sight." That being said, Gutierrez left the library at the end of his stay without much notice.
It wasn't until months later that the Hall of Fame got a call from New York City dealer and auctioneer Josh Evans who stated that he'd purchased an autographed photo of Babe Ruth from Gutierrez and noticed something whited out on the reverse of the photo. Deane recalls, "He had noticed the Wite-Out and scraped it off and he recognized under it one of our accession numbers which starts with 'BL.' Deane says head librarian Tom Heitz asked Evans to send the photo to Cooperstown and then Deane says, "Tom brought it to the attention of the Hall of Fame brass and then they were launching this big investigation." The big question at that point Deane says was, "How many other photos could have possibly been stolen from the Hall of Fame by Gutierrez or by anyone else?" Looking back Deane thinks it would have been very easy for someone intent on stealing Hall of Fame property to, "Just slide something into their notebook or briefcase."
After the revelation of the stolen Babe Ruth photo and its sale by Gutierrez, the library assigned two employees to look for all autographed photos listed in the original Hall of Fame accession ledger books (dating back to 1939) and see if any others were missing. Deane confirms that, "They identified a lot of items that they couldn't locate." Deane also confirmed that an FBI investigation was commenced in regard to the stolen photo and after Hall of Fame officials learned about Gutierrez' alleged involvement, Deane added, "They said he wasn't allowed here, he was blacklisted from the National Baseball Library."
This past May, another stolen photograph of Hall of Famer "Smilin" Mickey Welch was featured in Robert Edward Auctions' Spring 2010 sale. The 1891 cabinet card had tell tale Hall of Fame ownership marks and also had the library accession number defaced. The card was removed from the auction and sources indicate that it has been returned to Cooperstown.
Another cabinet photo of Christy Mathewson, also stolen from Cooperstown, was posted in September on collector message board Net54. The photo had HOF ownership marks and was confirmed as stolen from the Hall of Fame. The Mathewson photo, which sold for over $12,000 in a 2008 MastroNet auction, also had its National Baseball Library accession number covered with Wite-Out, just like the Ruth photo from 1988. The Mathewson photo did quite a bit of traveling since its theft from from Cooperstown, as it was purchased from a Chicago-based auction by a collector named David McDonald, who lives in Honolulu, Hawaii. At the time it was exposed as a stolen item this past September, McDonald posted on Net54, "This is a serious matter. It will be dealt with." Net54 moderator Leon Luckey also commented on the situation stating, "The HOF and lawyers have been notified…(David) is also a very stand up guy and is doing the right thing." Another board member, Richard Simon, added, "Some people know who the theif is."
Bill Deane's recollections of Mike Gutierrez' 1988 visit to Cooperstown and the ensuing FBI investigation into the theft of the Babe Ruth photo and other items has also been confirmed by another ex-Hall of Fame official who spoke with us under the condition of anonymity. The source confirmed that Gutierrez was, in fact, "banned from entering the National Baseball Library." Said the ex-Cooperstown official, "The FBI investigated this guy (Gutierrez) pretty thoroughly and nothing was done about it because the federal prosecutor in Syracuse declined to do anything. It's on the Hall of Fame to re-open it and initiate it."
The ex-official also indicated that, "Stealing one photograph was all we were talking about at the time." He continued, "The FBI spoke to the guy who came with Gutierrez and he was ready to turn to implicate Gutierrez," and, "One of the things he told the FBI was that Gutierrez had threatened him and, so, the FBI was ready to charge him with importuning a witness, and that's a more serious offense, actually."
The same ex-Hall of Fame official also confirmed that Gutierrez was one of the few people to ever have access to the "Herrmann Papers" archive in the 1980s. The first persons with such access to the archive appear to be Dr. Harold Seymour and his wife Dorothy Seymour Mills, who utilized the collection as a source for their classic book, Baseball: The Golden Age (Oxford Press, 1971). The source also confirmed that Gutierrez had access to the Herrmann Papers prior to his last trip to the library in 1988.
The ex-Hall official also stated that back when the FBI was investigating the 1988 theft, the Herrmann Papers had not been catalogued or inventoried. "We had no way to know exactly what was missing from the Herrmann boxes back then." Now that the collection is secure, and half of the files have been microfilmed, thanks to a grant from the YawkeyFoundation, that's no longer the case. It's rather easy to match up letters appearing in auctions with the contents of specific files still located at the National Baseball Library.
Cornell University's Rare and Manuscript Division houses the original research notes that Dr. Seymour and his wife took at Cooperstown in the 1960s. These original documents, which were both hand and type-written, quote directly from thousands of Herrmann documents that the couple utilized on their visit to the National Baseball Library. The Cornell Seymour Papers archive will, no doubt, aid future investigations into the thefts at the Hall of Fame.
Similar research notes taken by the Seymour's at the New York Public Library have already aided the FBI in their investigation into stolen letters from NYPL's Harry Wright Correspondence Collection. Many letters addressed to Harry Wright, slated for auction in 2009, were confirmed as stolen thanks to the original Seymour research notes. By comparing Cornell's Seymour notes to the actual surviving Herrmann files at the National Baseball Library, investigators will be able to identitify more documents missing from the collection.
Dorothy Seymour Mills fondly recalls how Hall of Fame historian Lee Allen first made the Herrmann archive available to her in Cooperstown during the 1960s. "Harold Seymour and I examined thousands of original documents in the 72 boxes on the shelf in the room Lee Allen used as a writing room. There was no security at all, or the need for such protection," said Seymour Mills.
The only other public mention of the issue of the Hall of Fame thefts, besides a 2000 article in the New York Daily News that mentioned Gutierrez' sale of the stolen Ruth photo, was in the hobby newsletter, The Sweet Spot, in 1998. The article published by Charles Kaufman and titled, "Baseball HOF closes holes in library; '88 theft recalled," described much of the same detail that was offered to us in our interview with ex-HOF employee, Bill Deane, but never mentioned the name of the suspect in the thefts. The article referred to the suspect as "a dealer (who) remains active in the hobby" and "persona non grata at the Hall of Fame Library."
But The Sweet Spot claimed to have another eyewitness to the thefts who accompanied the suspect and spoke with The Sweet Spot under the condition of anonymity. This wittness gave detailed testimony, which was reported in the newsletter:
"During the '88 visit, the documents were lifted from the file of August Herrmann, owner of the Cincinnati Red Legs in the early 1900's. Our source remembers the dealer sifting through piles of documents out of the Hall of Fame Library's orange file boxes. During that day, the dealer perhaps went through 100 such boxes. The contents were remarkable, with letters to Lajoie and Ty Cobb. The dealer had permission to make copies of the documents. "He would go to the photocopy machine, make copies of some of the documents; he made neat stacks of copies," the witness said. "For every 10 items he'd take to the machine, however, nine originals would return to the file. One original would be mixed in with the copies and they would go directly into his briefcase. That briefcase would never leave his side."
The 1998 article in The Sweet Spot referred to the Hall of Fame thefts as a "secret" for "a small circle of influential hobby members." One long-time dealer and autograph authenticator from New York City, Richard Simon, has even included information regarding the alleged 1988 thefts on his website. Simon states, "I have talked to an eyewitness to the theft and three other individuals who purchased photos from this very well known dealer." Simon also adds, "The Hall of Fame covered up the incident because they did not want adverse publicity and the dealer, of course, denies any involvement. But I know of an eyewitness to this theft, and I know of three buyers of these photos who have seen the whiteout on the back of the photo."
In the 2000 New York Daily News article Mike Gutierrez responded to the allegations about his sale of the stolen Ruth photo saying, "If I got a photo with a Hall of Fame stamp, I got it through sale or trade."
We contacted Gutierrez at his office at Heritage Galleries in Dallas and asked if he was aware that Chris Ivy had pulled several letters addressed to or relating to August Herrmann from prior Heritage sales and was offering others in their current auction. Said, Gutierrez, "He (Ivy) might have said something, but I don't know." When asked about the allegations that he had been banned from the National Baseball Library, Gutierrez declined any further comment.
From 1990 through 2000 Gutierrez was also a partner with collector Doug Averitt and operated the company MVP Autographs of Woodland Hills, CA. Recently Averitt presented a copy of a letter featuring the rare signature of Hall of Famer John M. Ward for inclusion as an exemplar in Ron Keurajian's upcoming book Signatures From Cooperstown. The letter from February 15, 1905, is addressed to "The National Commission" by Ward who is writing as an attorney on behalf of his client, player Jack Taylor. Taylor was accused in a gambling scandal in 1904 and Ward's letter regards Taylor making himself available to give testimony to August Herrmann's National Commission.
The original copy of this letter is believed to originate from the Hall of Fame's collection, as the Herrmann Papers archive features the "Jack Taylor Gambling Case" in folder 6 of Box 46. This folder specifically includes correspondence written about the case in February of 1905. We called Doug Averitt at MVP Autographs to ask where he acquired his copy of the suspect John Ward letter, but Averitt did not respond to our inquiry. Industry experts estimate that the same 1905 John M.Ward letter would fetch anywhere from $10,000 to $15,000 at public auction.
Over the last two decades, hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of documents that originated from the Hall of Fame's "Herrmann Papers," have been bought and sold in private sales and at public auction. Rare signatures of Baseball Hall of Famers featured on letters addressed to Herrmann; League Presidents; and the National Commission (which Herrmann headed) are highly covered by collectors. Rare documents signed by George Davis, James "Orator" O'Rourke, John M. Ward, Henry Chadwick, Hughie Jennings, Christy Mathewson, John J. McGraw, Miller Huggins, Frank Chance, Joe Tinker, Barney Dreyfus and a host of others are missing from the Hall of Fame files. A letter written by O'Rourke to Herrmann in 1916, estimated at a value of $10-15,000, was offered in a 1992 sale at Richard Wolfers Auctions in San Francisco. In the letter O'Rourke thanked Herrmann for sending tickets to the 1916 World Series. Still in the Hall of Fame "Herrmann Papers" files is the letter that preceded it, when O'Rourke first asked Herrmann for the tickets.
Hall of Fame spokesperson Brad Horn declined comment on the Gutierrez banishment from the NBL, and he also declined comment as to why the 1988 FBI investigation was halted. Since our first reports earlier this year about the thefts from the National Baseball Library, Hall of Fame officials have declined to make any public statement.
Recently, the Hall of Fame has also been dealing with controversies involving their display of fake artifacts. In August Haulsofshame.com published a report that claimed an alleged 1919 jersey of "Shoeless Joe" Jackson was not authentic. In October, the Hall of Fame confirmed that report admitting to the New York Post and Chicago Sun Times that the jersey, purchased from collector Barry Halper, was a fake. Many other items purchased from Halper are believed to be fakes as well, including Joe Jackson's "Black Betsy" bat and a 1951 Mickey Mantle rookie jersey.
Many in the baseball research community feel that the scandals involving the thefts from the Hall of Fame collections and the display of fakes are not being handled properly by Hall of Fame officials, but were unwilling to make public statements. One unnamed individual even stated that the Society for American Baseball Research was reluctant to criticize the Hall's leadership.
PBS' Antiques Roadshow website features a profile of Gutierrez as one of their featured "guest appraisers" and "one of the foremost sports autograph authenticators in the sports memorabilia business." PBS gives high praise to Gutierrez for his work in an "industry (that) has been plagued by FBI investigations of fraud." Antiques Roadshow's website also states: "Mike is one of the most respected repositories of trust in the business." PBS also claims that Gutierrez, "authenticated all the autograph material from the Barry Halper Collection sold at Sotheby's in 1999." The Halper sale at Sotheby's featured many suspect letters written to August Herrmann by Hall of Famers like Christy Mathewson and Hughie Jennings.
Gutierrez is also considered one of the major authenticators in the baseball collectibles field having worked for PSA/DNA and other outfits. He is also currently listed as an authenticator for James Spence Authentication (JSA). For years, James Spence and Mike Gutierrez have been authenticating suspect letters addressed to August Herrmann, without ever noting the controversy over the provenance of the documents. Sources indicate Spence has been well aware of the controversy over the Herrmann letters, but has accepted payment for his authentications of the contraband materials nonetheless. Both letters addressed to Herrmann in the current December 5th Heritage Galleries sale are accompanied by letters of authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA). James Spence made no attempt to report the appearences of the suspect letters to the auctioneer or the proper authorities.
Another authenticator for PSA/DNA, Kevin Keating, is currently offering yet another Ban Johnson letter addressed to August Herrmann on his "Quality Autographs" website. Keating's offering is a January 10, 1922 letter informing Herrmann that his Reds open the 1922 season in Chicago. The letter, originating from the Hall of Fame's Herrmann Papers archive, can be had for $750. In the past Keating has also offered other letters addressed to Herrmann from Baseball Hall of Famers including Miller Huggins and Clark Griffith. The Huggins letter appeared in a March, 2000, issue of Sports Collectors Digest for a price of $9,950.
In Boston, at the headquarters of PBS and WGBH, Antiques Roadshow spokesperson, Judy Matthews, said that the network had no knowledge of Gutierrez' banishment from the National Baseball Library in the 1980s. "We've never heard of anything of that nature," stated Matthews. PBS declined to make any further comment. In addition to PBS' website listing Gutierrez as one of their guest appraisers, the network also features him prominently in television commercials for the show.
When informed of the allegations against Gutierrez and his banishment from the Hall of Fame's library his employer, Heritage Auctions, declined comment. Calls to Heritage's Director of Sports Auctions, Chris Ivy, were not returned. Heritage also declined to respond to an inquiry about their continued sale of suspect Herrmann correspondence.
Having been one of the first historians to benefit from the wealth of information found in the Herrmann Papers archive, Dorothy Seymour Mills has strong opinions about Herrmann's correspondence showing up in auctions for public sale. Says Mills, "Stealing from this archive, especially to make money, is reprehensible and should be punished."

- Tell us about a piece of music inspired by tale
- Share with us a musical that started out as a story
- Make up your own piece of music (lyrics or sing it onto YouTube) with a story as a basis
My earliest musical story
I remember when I was little sitting down infront of the stereo and listening to a tape of Peter and The Wolf. It was an orchestral version with each character being played by a different instrument. At the beginning all the characters and instruments were introduced. I remember vividly the high fluttering voice of the flute which played the bird andthe deep sound of the bassoon (which I think represented the wolf).
What I really liked was how the story took out a new depth when instrumentation was added. It was so easy to imagine the bird being stalked by the wolf, or Peter merrily playing. I would close my eyes and wish myself into the scene, seeing each moment with fresh eyes.
Music and words, both inspiring in their own right but, together, truly magical. What more can be said but that?!

Marceline Rosenberg was born to Polish Jewish parents who immigrated to France in 1919. At the beginning of the Second World War, the family moved to the Vaucluse. Marceline and her father Szlama Rosenberg got captured by the Gestapo and were sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau in convoy 71 of 13 April 1944. Marceline later gets sent to Bergen-Belsen, and finally to Theresienstadt, until the liberation on 10 May 1945 by the Red Army .
The Rosenberg family; young Marceline left with ball
Her father does not return and her experiences in the camps and her life after are hauntingly matter-of-factly described in her book "But you did not come back", a letter to her father (and one of the best and most moving books I have read).
Marceline joins the French Communist Party in 1955 and in 1963 she met and married the documentary film maker Joris Ivens. She assists him in his work and co-directed some of his films.
Joris Ivens, Ernest Hemingway, Ludwig Renn, 1936, Spain
From 1972 to 1976, during the Cultural Revolution launched by President Mao Zedong , Ivens and Loridan shoot numerous films in China. Criticized by Jiang Qing, Mao's wife, they have to hastily leave China.

Hafucha Square Table, Black
Edition: Unlimited Production
Year of design: 2015
The concept of the project, which was inspired by the work of American sculptor Alexander Calder, was to use the constructional elements of an object as the leading element of the design language.

The table comes with detachable 3D printed black leglets to prevent noise and scratching of gentle floors.
Material: Powder coated steel
Size (in cm): : H43 X W59 X D59
Product type: Unlimited production. Every table is signed and numbered on the bottom.

Meet the mother who has spent $160,000 on her daughter's acting career – and put nothing aside for her college fund
22:06 GMT, 9 May 2012
It's one thing to encourage your child to pursue their dreams, but sometimes encouragement comes at a price.
A mother and daughter who live in Los Angeles told Anderson Cooper that moving to Hollywood so the young girl, Presley Cash, could become an actress has so far cost them over $160,000.
Not only that but the money that Presley's mother has whittled away on seven years of rent in Burbank has left nothing for the 14-year-old's college fund.
Like mother like daughter: Presley Cash, 14, an aspiring actress, appeared on Anderson Cooper today where her mother revealed they had spent $160,000 on her acting career and put nothing aside for college
During the episode that will air tomorrow, the red-headed mother-daughter team shocked Anderson and his guest Kelly Cutrone with the confession of how much they have sacrificed in pursuit of fame and fortune.
Presley's mother revealed that not only does she not have money put aside for her daughter's future, they have to share a bed in the expensive apartment.
How, why, what Scandalised by the fact that Presley's mother has spent such a fortune on her daughter's aspiring career, Ms Cutrone berated her for not even buying Presley a bed
Incensed by the situation and unable
to control herself, the outspoken fashion PR guru demanded: 'How you can
spend $160,000 and not have a bed Could you please just answer that
question for me'
to let her even answer the question, Ms Cutrone continued admonishing
Presley's mother for not letting let her daughter grow up and become a
teenager with the privacy of her own space.
/05/09/article-2142068-1302A422000005DC-241_306x423.jpg" width="306″ height="423″ alt="Anderson Cooper" class="blkBorder" />
Voices of reason: Anderson Cooper pointed out that taking an eight year old to Hollywood and setting up camp there for seven years is vastly different from an adult moving there and working to make ends meet
The dumbfounded bottle redhead had no
reply but nodded and agreed with Ms Cutrone who went on to speak of the
many famous people she knows who have come from deprived backgrounds
and whose parents 'didn't pick up the trailer and fly it over to
also pointed out the difference between an 18-year-old moving to LA and
working as a waiter to make ends meet while auditioning, and Presley's
arrival aged eight.
'That's an adult making a decision. But an eight-year-old saying "oh yeah I want to be an actress" and you picking up and moving there…' he started.
But unable to finish his sentence
Presley's mum finally spoke up, cutting in: 'I would never… What I
know about that town, I would never allow my teenager or even someone
right out of college to go to that town because they would be eaten
Shining star Presley Cash appeared in a Taylor Swift video last year for the country singer's single 'Mean'
Real star: Crooner Taylor Swift sings in a 2011 video for a song about underdogs achieving success in the face of adversity
Presumably she meant, without her supervision – a discrepancy that Ms Cutrone jumped at the chance of pointing out.
'I think this is convenient for you,' she asserted. I' don't think you like being married to your husband and you just hang out with your daughter.'
After the taping today, the teenager who appeared last year in a Taylor Swift video for the single 'Mean', tweeted: 'Anderson Cooper and Kelly Cutrone bullies my mom and I on national tv. It's airing tomorrow.'

5. Don't Rush The Casting - Who plays Wonder Woman is a big decision. While seeing Wonder Woman make a cameo in Batman Vs. Superman would be thrilling for fans, Warner Bros. shouldn't cast this important of a role for just a cameo. Warner Bros. should take the time and make sure that they cast an actress who is capable of carrying a Wonder Woman solo movie and who has availability in her schedule for both future Wonder Woman and Justice League movies.
4. Wonder Woman Needs An Origin - Batman's origin has been told on the big screen before, so there's really no problem with introducing him in a Superman movie. With Wonder Woman, it's been a long time since the seventies TV series. The youth of today need to see a full-blown Wonder Woman origin on the big screen. Wonder Woman's origin is a story that needs to told, before she is inserted into any type of superhero team-up movie.
3. Don't Introduce Wonder Woman In A Movie Titled After Two Male Superheroes - Wonder Woman finally makes her big screen debut, and they do it in a movie that is titled Batman Vs. Superman. That just seems so wrong. When Wonder Woman finally hits the big screen, she deserves to have her name up in the title.
2. Too Many Superheroes - Sure, The Avengers proved that a superhero team movie could be done and could be done well, but Marvel introduced their team in several successful solo movies. Warner Bros. needs to learn how to crawl before they walk. Warner Bros. made a wise call be deciding to try a two superhero movie first before tackling a Justice League movie.
1. Doesn't Need To Be Anybody's Girlfriend - If Warner Bros. were to introduce Wonder Woman in Batman Vs. Superman, we have this sneaking suspicion that she might wind up as either Batman or Superman's girlfriend. If Wonder Woman wants to date Bats or Supes down the road that's fine, but in her first introduction, she should stand on her own and not be labeled someone's girlfriend.

IF HUGO CHAVEZ is an autocrat, how could he be in danger of losing the Venezuelan presidency in an election on Sunday? The question, posed by one of Mr. Chavez's dwindling band of American supporters, is a fair one: Polls show a race to the wire between the caudillo and challenger Henrique Capriles Radonski. An opposition victory would mean an epochal change of political direction in one of the world's largest oil producers, with far-reaching consequences for Cuba and other leftist Latin American regimes.
The answer begins with the fact that Mr. Chavez, like his allies Vladimir Putin and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, feels obliged to stage elections; the totalitarianism of Cuba or North Korea would risk rebellion by his population and international isolation. So elections are held — but in an environment that heavily favors the regime. Mr. Chavez controls Venezuela's courts, election commission and most television channels, which bombard the population with propaganda. That includes hours-long appearances by the president on all channels simultaneously. Mr. Capriles is allowed three minutes of air-time per day.
According to a report by the Committee to Protect Journalists, even media not directly controlled by the government have been reluctant to report critically on Mr. Chavez. Many voters, too, are intimidated by high-tech polling machines that read their fingerprints; polls show that they suspect their votes will not be secret. Those not motivated by fright might be lured by greed: The government has amassed a list of 3 million people it has promised new homes. There are about 12 million likely voters.
That Mr. Chavez is in danger of losing in spite of all this is testimony to the havoc he has wreaked in what was once Latin America's richest country. At more than 20 percent, inflation is the highest in the region and is accompanied by chronic shortages of food, basic consumer goods and power. The country's infrastructure is crumbling: Within the last two months an explosion at a state oil refinery killed 50 people, and a major highway bridge collapsed. Perhaps worst of all for average citizens, violent crime has become epidemic under Mr. Chavez. The murder rate, which has more than tripled, is one of the five highest in the world. Drug traffickers have made Venezuela a hub for shipments to the United States and Europe with the help of senior government officials, including the current defense minister.
Fortunately, Venezuela's opposition has evolved from a collection of feuding has-beens to a united and dynamic movement spearheaded by youth who long to push the country onto the modernizing paths of Brazil, Chile and Mexico. Mr. Capriles has survived imprisonment and systematic harassment by Mr. Chavez while remaining a committed liberal democrat who cites Brazil's social democrats as his model. A tireless campaigner, Mr. Capriles has visited more than 300 municipalities, while Mr. Chavez — visibly weakened by what several reports have said is a terminal case of cancer — has mostly stuck to television.
Mr. Chavez's illness probably means that his days as Venezuela's leader are numbered anyway. The question now is whether he will give way if he loses on Sunday. Venezuela's neighbors, and the Obama administration, should be ready to react if he attempts to remain in power by force.

Chairman Will Hurd and Representative Ted Lieu of the Oversight and Government Reform's Subcommittee on Information Technology, released the following statements on news of the recently formed bipartisan Congressional Tech Staff Association (CTSA):
"In order to protect taxpayers and move towards a more efficient federal government, Congress is desperately in need of leaders to address pressing technology issues, such as cybersecurity and improving federal IT systems. Ensuring that today's thought leaders have a forum in which to engage their colleagues and work towards innovative solutions is a step in the right direction and one I am proud to support," said Rep. Will Hurd, a former undercover CIA officer and cybersecurity professional.
"As one of four computer science majors serving in Congress, I believe it is critical to develop resources to understand the complex technology policy issues before us," Congressman Lieu said. "I am proud to be one of the originating sponsors for the creation of the bipartisan Congressional Technology Staff Association and to have my office involved in its leadership."
A bipartisan group of thirty senior tech staffers on the Hill formed CTSA. The founders leveraged their resources, contacts, and combined knowledge and formed the association's first board of directors to govern the CTSA in its primary mission of elevating congressional staff's technical expertise and understanding of technology policy.
CTSA brings together a growing number of professional staff who are passionate about technology issues for the purpose of policy and strategic development, growing relationships internally and externally, and collaborating to maximize efforts.
The association will focus four standing objectives:
- Community: foster a more visible, cohesive community of tech staffers within Congress.;
- Policy: create a forum for engagement, discussion, and education regarding technology policy and emerging issues;
- Professional Development: drive professional development programs and educational opportunities.; and
- Networking: form a robust professional network for staffers, stakeholders, and policymakers in and out of Congress.
CTSA will host briefings, working groups, roundtables, private gatherings, dinners, happy hours and other events to accomplish the four standing objectives. Participants will range from Members to caucuses, staffers, and other stakeholders
Executive Staff includes Madison Smith, Andrew Lachman, Amy Murphy, Austin Carson, Burak Guvensoylar, John Costello, Sasha Moss and Jessica Levandowski.

Published in Int. Journal of Anthropology – Vol. 30 – n.3-4 – 2016
KEY WORDS: Adolescent growth spurt, standing height, sitting height, subischial leg length, biacromial diameter, bi-iliocristal diameter, secular trends.
In the backdrop of ongoing socioeconomic transition in India, a cross-sectional growth and socioeconomic survey was under-taken in the families of 4194 Bengali children, adolescents and youth of both sexes aged 7.0 to 21.0 years from Kolkata city, India during 1999-2011.The objective of the study was to in-vestigate secular trends phenomena in the measures of physical growth and maturation of three linear and two width measures (standing height, sitting height, subischial leg length, biacromial and bi-iliocristal diameters) through comparisons of results of the present study with two earlier growth studies (1952-66 and 1982-83) carried out in the same population during the pre-transitional period of the country (before 1990s). The possible influences of socioeconomic, demographic and public health related factors have also been investigated. Approximately over six decades of time difference, mean values of anthropometric measures increased in both sexes and that was more evident during ado-lescent years than at maturity. In standing height, the highest increase of mean value was 14.4 cm for boys at 13.0 years and 11.8 cm for girls at 10.0 and 11.0 years of age. In adulthood, averages of four body dimensions (except bi-iliocristal diam-eter) increased in a lesser magnitude than the increase found during adolescent years. Mean of adult standing height in males increased by 3.0 cm of which increase in mean of subischial leg length was greater (1.8 cm) than the increment in mean sit-ting height (1.2 cm). Increased standard deviation values over time indicated early initiation of adolescent growth spurt of the contemporary children. Time of reaching peak of the spurt esti-mated by fitting Preece-Baines model 1, was found to be about two years ahead as recorded in the contemporary population compared to the children of earlier study periods. Finally, mean age at menarche (11.80 years) of the contemporary Kolkata girls was observed to have declined by 1.10 years over about four decades of time span.
Among the probable factors responsible for positive secular trends, came into the discussion, were improvements in sev-eral socioeconomic factors including maternal education level, monthly family expenditure per capita and decline in sibship size of the families. In addition, improvements in several im-portant parameters of public health, namely decline in infant mortality and morbidity rates, increase in life expectancy, child immunization rate and overall Human Development Index of Kolkata population appeared to be the secondary contributing factors for the observed trends.

Syria war: US warns over Turkish-Kurdish violence
The US says fighting between Turkey, pro-Turkish rebels and Kurdish-aligned forces in northern Syria is "unacceptable" and must stop.
Clashes in places where so-called Islamic State (IS) was not present were a "source of deep concern", the US envoy to the anti-IS coalition tweeted.
Turkish forces have attacked what they say are Kurdish "terrorists" since crossing the border last week.
But the Kurdish YPG militia says Turkey just wants to occupy Syrian territory.
Ankara says it aims to push both IS and Kurdish fighters away from its border.
Turkish forces and allied factions of the rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA) forced IS out of the Syrian border city of Jarablus on Tuesday and have since pounded neighbouring villages held by Kurdish-led, US-backed Syria Democratic Forces (SDF).
The Turkish military carried out 61 artillery strikes around Jarablus over the past 24 hours Reuters news agency reported on Monday,
Turkey has insisted Kurdish militia, which it regards as terrorists, retreat east across the Euphrates river.
The Kurdish Popular Protection Units (YPG), which dominates the SDF, says its forces have withdrawn, and that the Turkish action against the group was a "pretext" for occupying Syria.
The US Pentagon spokesman renewed Washingtons call for the YPG to pull back over the river, which he said had "largely occurred".
He warned that unco-ordinated operations "provide room for ISIL [IS] to find sanctuary and continue planning attacks against Turkey, the SDF, the United States, and our partners around the world".
Turkish concern over Kurdish expansion increased after the SDF took control of the strategic Syrian city of Manbij from IS two weeks ago.
Turkey has been fighting a Kurdish insurgency in its south-east for decades and fears Kurdish gains in northern Syria will fuel Kurdish separatism at home.
Turkish-backed forces moved towards Manbij, 20 miles (30 km) south of Turkeys border, on Monday, Reuters reported.
On Sunday, tens of people were killed in Turkish air strikes on Kurdish-held areas near Jarablus.
A monitoring group said at least 35 civilians and four militants had been killed, while the Turkish military said 25 people, all Kurdish militants, died.

Staff at supermarket giant Asda have saved more than half a billion pounds since a share ownership programme was launched 30 years ago.
Under the savings scheme, workers set aside between £5 and £250 a month for a three-year period, at the end of which they receive a tax-free bonus and a chance to buy discounted shares in parent firm Walmart.
Around 25,000 employees have joined the scheme every year, saving an average of £20 a month.
Hayley Tatum, Asda's people director, said: "Our in-store and depot colleagues work extremely hard, day in, day out, to serve the 18 million customers that come through our doors each week. The ShareSave scheme is just one of the ways we want to thank them for their efforts."

Puffer Mines are Puffers which have been cybernetically enhanced with Phazon gas by the Space Pirates and are used to patrol the Pirate facilities. The creatures are found on the Space Pirate Homeworld. Strangely, while the mentioned planet is said to be the planet of origin of the Puffers seen on Tallon IV, there were none to be found. Either they were located in an area unexplored by Samus, or all the natural Puffers inhabiting the planet were turned into Puffer Mines.
The Preeds encountered in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, which bear considerable similarities to the Puffer Mines in look and behavior, are also cybernetic organisms used as patrol animals by the Pirates.
Logbook entryEdit
Puffer Mine
Morphology: Puffer Mine
Cybernetic bioform capable of releasing toxic gases.
Avoid contact with the Puffer Mine. These creatures are a cybernetically enhanced version of the Puffers native to the Pirate Homeworld. Engineered by Space Pirates, they are now used as patrol animals. Their bodies have been filled with Phazon gas to be used as a defensive measure. If their shell is broken, their bodies explode and send a cloud of toxic gas out all around them. Nearby attackers rarely escape the volatile fumes.
- The Puffer Mines in the Airshaft room spawn from openings that are very similar to the Air Holes on Zebes. If Samus were to return to the same room later on in Corruption however, the creatures are nowhere to be seen and are no longer spawned.

Federal authorities and local police agencies raided two Westside marijuana dispensaries Wednesday as well as the residences of the owners.
The raids occurred at a facility on Washington Boulevard in Culver City and on Overland Avenue in Los Angeles. Authorities seized undisclosed items and are continuing their investigation, according to a Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman.
The names of the owners whose homes were searched were not immediately available.
During one of the raids, officers shot a dog believed to be a pit bull, but the circumstances of the shooting remain unclear, a law enforcement spokesman said.
The DEA, FBI, Internal Revenue Service, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Los Angeles Police Department, Torrance Police Department and Culver City Police Department took part in the raids.
Law enforcement agencies have been cracking down on pot dispensaries for some time, but officials did not immediately say what prompted these raids.

A visit to Suhrke's Bandcamp page reveals that his discography includes the tunes from Spelunky, Ridiculous Fishing, Super Crate Box and more. Even better, you can own or gift any of these albums on a "pay what you want" basis. Running low on funds? Maybe kick a dollar toward Suhrke. Feeling more generous? Spend $20. Whatever the amount, it's entirely up to you, and as the 62-track Spelunky soundtrack demonstrates, you're getting a lot of quality video game music for your money.
Helpfully, Suhrke's albums are available in most major audio formats, including MP3, AAC and FLAC. According to his recent Twitter announcement of the sale, Suhrke's albums will remain at this floating price point through the end of the week.

CENTRE OF ATTENTION: Zharnel Hughes at the end of the controversial race
ENGLAND SPRINTER Zharnel Hughes was sensationally disqualified after winning the 200m final at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast, Australia.
Day eight of the multi-event saw the 22-year-old dip just ahead of Jereem Richards but appeared to have struck his Trinidad and Tobago opponent and was judged to have run out of lane. In a nail-biting race, Hughes and Trinidad and Tobago's Jereem Richards were neck and neck with both athletes crossing the finishing line at 20.12 seconds.
Yet following the replays, Hughes was disqualified for impeding Richards who now takes home gold. The English sprinter, born and raised in Anguilla, has competed internationally for Great Britain since 2015.
The disqualification saw Canadian athlete Aaron Brown and Northern Ireland's Leon Reid land silver and bronze respectively.
Team England are reportedly appealing Zharnel Hughes disqualification.

The idea was that if one side of a lower rank Caught find SEO and make changes to recover. To start with SEO basically do their job well. even though I hate this kind of technique to punish web masters just because they try to organize, I also think it is a very clever tactic to use Google. And some SEOs started to argue that Google has already begun to do that. This could be one of the hardest things to try, because this would require monitoring the ranking of many sites, and then try to see the changes rebound what happens.
I know, I know, and Google knows! Google loves brands. But one thing you may not know much about what kind of labels say Google sector a brand that has? Are Goolge, trademarks anchor text, navigational queries and other things that we expect all of them, with Google as the brand marks, but very few of them to try. If we could lock up a better understanding of these factors, it is likely that all other aspects of our SEO efforts have an easier time because we're the brand name behind us would.
Can you think of other areas of SEO that deserve more tests thinking? Have you tried any of the above areas? Share with us your thoughts in the comments, and until next time, happy testing.

After a break of a couple of weeks its was good to get out again last week and talk about Search. I did a great session for the Marketing Society in London perfectly entitled 'Search Me!'
Well not literally! it was an event run by Microsoft so it was good to hook up with my old mate Mel Carson again to present search in the UK space, Mel has blogged about it as well on his brand new blog on Brand Republic called Digitales, definitely stick it in your favorites.
It was a good session and well received by the attendees but as Mel mentioned in his blog and I will as well the hot topic was 'Privacy'. We here about it more and more in the media press and it is interesting to see that this is echoed in the industry as well as the public domain.
We talked a lot about how the search engines need to deal with it and as the search landscape moves more into maps, mobile and particularly social search the lines need to be carefully defined.
Well the next speaking stop is in a few weeks over in the US at San Jose SES Conference where I will be speaking on the 'Search Marketers On Click Fraud' panel. I have done this panel for a few years now at various SES conferences and it always makes for lively conversation you could say.
Should be a good session so if your there come and say hello!

Cohen Rodriquez, Deo's hilarious, über responsible best friend in LENGTHS got dumped by his longtime girl because he's 'not impulsive enough,' and he's burned up.
But maybe, just maybe, she's more right than he wants to admit. So he starts to date.
A lot.
But no one really feels like the one. And the more girls he dates, the more Cohen's convinced she isn't really out there.
Luckily he has Maren—the girl with the sexy voice who always cracks the best jokes. They've been talking daily for a year…on the phone. What started as all work soon blooms into friendship. Then she asks him.
Do you want to meet?
He's scared out of his mind to ruin the one easy, fun relationship he has going for him. But he takes the plunge, and things are just fine, totally easy and comfortable.
Except that they both sense it's not strictly platonic...there is an undeniable attraction and absolute raw chemistry between them…and every time they're in the same room, that attraction gets deeper and harder to ignore.
Maren could be the best thing that's ever happened to Cohen… Or she could send his carefully compartmentalized life into a tailspin.
Cohen has to decide if he's ready to let go of his comfortable fantasy and embrace the one girl who might be able to change his luck in love.
"How much more excitement do you need out of life that a half-Jewish, half-Mexican household."
Cohen Rodriquez just got dumped by his longtime girlfriend, because he's not exciting enough, because he never wants to try new things. So she's moving to L.A. to start her acting career and he's left working at his family's furniture store. Not that he doesn't mind that, but it was never what he expected to do for the rest of his life.
Now that he's single, he's ready to mingle. Which he might have had to think through a bit more, because the only thing that happens are some of the worst dates you've ever come across. How Steph and Liz came up with this I have no clue, but they are brilliantly bad.
"Her voice is a little too raspy - a little too sexy to have me totally convinced that she's all good."
Lately the only upside in his life are his telephone conversation with Maren, the girl who works in their warehouse site. They've never met, but they talk daily and not just about stock orders. Sharing their woes about work, but also about their love life, they have formed this connection. At least that's what he hopes, but for all he knows she might be some ugly toad, instead of the pin-up vibe he imagines in his head.
I love those stories where people have been having conversations, but never met so they can dream about the other person being sexy as hell. Of course in real life Steven, the guy who calls me about my payment plan, is probably as unsexy as a guy can be. (Screw you reality!)
"And it hits me. Maren is going to ask me out."
So finally they meet, but not in the way you would expect. They indeed try to keep things platonic, just friends, but resisting the attraction is killing them. Things get even more complicated when they realize not everything is as it seems and they've been keeping things from each other. Cohen is a nice, respectable and reliable guy, which means he has this whole knight in shining armor thing going on, but not every girl needs a knight.
There's definitely enough (sexual) tension going on, some family drama on both sides and smoking but realistic sex scenes. Two people who realize they don't always have to do things on their own, they can confide in others. It's mostly about putting your fears aside and daring to live life to the fullest.

Pivotal Moment: Hillary To Attack Trump On Foreign Policy
The following is an excerpt from Olivier Knox | June 2, 2016 | Yahoo.com |
Looking past rival Bernie Sanders to the general election, Democratic White House hopeful Hillary Clinton on Thursday will denounce GOP nominee Donald Trump's foreign policy ideas and bluntly declare him "simply unfit" to lead the country in a dangerous world.
The former secretary of state will "lay out in stark terms" how the reality TV star is "fundamentally unqualified to be commander in chief" senior Clinton foreign policy aide Jake Sullivan told Yahoo News by telephone.
"She will call Donald Trump out by name" and offer "a systematic and comprehensive critique of the alarming and bankrupt foreign policy ideas that Donald Trump has put forward," Sullivan said. "She will not be pulling any punches."
Clinton will not, however, make a point-by-point defense of her handling of world affairs as secretary of state, or present specific policy ideas, Sullivan said.
The Washington Post first reported plans for what Clinton's campaign is billing as "a major address." She will speak in San Diego at 11:30 a.m. local time.
Her remarks will come one day after President Obama — his sleeves rolled up and droppin' his g's like any campaignin' politician — talked up his role in the recovery from the Great Recession of 2008 and declared Republicans unfit stewards of the economy.
Obama urged voters to pick Democrats in November "if what you really care about in this election is your pocketbook, if what you're concerned about is who will look out for the interests of working people and [who will] grow the middle class."
The unusual one-two punch on foreign and domestic policy issues most on voters' minds suggested an attempt to shift the 2016 race to general election terrain as Clinton hopes to essentially lock up the Democratic nomination next week.
The Obama White House and Clinton's campaign are known to plot communications strategy regularly. And the incumbent has made it no secret that he sees his former secretary of state as a better political heir than Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. But aides to Obama and Clinton said privately that the two camps had not coordinated the timing of the two events.
Republicans who say the national recovery has been sluggish and has failed to reach many middle-class Americans have argued that electing Clinton would be tantamount to giving Obama a third term. The president's chief spokesman seemed to welcome the idea.

Network Appliance is buying partner Topio for $160 million in cash.
The purchase will add the company's products to NetApp's storage management software.
Topio's software helps customers replicate, recover and protect data over any distance regardless of the underlying server or storage infrastructure. Based in Santa Clara, California, not far from NetApp's headquarters in nearby Sunnyvale, Topio also runs an R&D facility in Israel.
NetApp says the acquisition of Topio will help its customers replicate data on any vendor's system, including those of main rivals EMC, HP and Hitachi Data Systems, to any NetApp storage system.
NetApp expects to complete the acquisition before the end of the year. Topio will become a new business unit within NetApp and its facility in Israel will continue to operate after the deal closes, NetApp said.

Some of you of a certain vintage will recall a superb Michael Caine caper film, "The Italian Job". No, I am not referring to that appalling 2003 American re-make which had none of the delightful irony of the 1969 original (typical!). In the real Italian Job a bunch of 'plucky' London criminals steal $4 million in Chinese gold being paid to the Italians (plus ca change…?) from the centre of Turin. To steal the loot Caine's gang cause a monumental traffic jam in and around Turin. Escaping from the city three Mini Coopers use the only route available – the sewers. The Mafia boss is, of course, a tad dischuffed but grudging in his admiration for the planning that went into the job. "If they caused this traffic jam, they must have planned a way out", he laments, his prestige having been severely tarnished.
In the Libyan Job we have created the jam, but have no idea how to get out. Indeed, the Libyan Job exemplifies all too clearly the inherent contradiction in much of Western (particularly European) policy as we routinely confuse values and interests. It is all too easy to espouse values when one never has to really defend them.
I was in a conference call with a senior French official who admitted candidly that there had been no real plan prior to the action. The impulse was simply to prevent a humanitarian disaster in Benghazi. I believe that but find it bizarre that so little contingency planning had apparently taken place in Washington and the major European capitals. Tunisia, Libya and Egypt are on Europe's doorstep and I was warning (in writing) some years ago of just such dangers…and was dismissed. Yes, I know that sounds a bit of an 'I told you so' moment - but I did.
So, how do we get out of this jam – which is all the West's leaders are really thinking about? Clearly, 'we' are at the go all the way or simply go away point, facing an adversary who is rapidly turning the struggle into urban counterinsurgency successfully negating much of NATO's air power. The mythical international community has as ever gone for a hike at the critical moment. The UN and the Arab League keep reminding NATO that UN Security Council Resolution 1973 imposes very real constraints on allied action. And yet, they are doing very little to create the conditions for a political solution.
Indeed, I am surprised how little political vision is at all apparent, let alone creative thinking. What matters now is a political settlement that brings a rapid end to the killing. However, to bring that about a critical vision is needed for a post-Gadhafi future for ALL Libyans. To do that the unpalatable will have to be swallowed.
First, Gadhafi and his clan must be progressively isolated. This will require a back-channel political track to the regime elite that offers them encouragement to defect in the short-term and gives them a say in post-Gadhafi Libya. This will likely also require concrete inducements, such as immunity from prosecution and protection for families/clans. Libya is not simply a state, it is also a complex amalgam of clan/tribal loyalties. Of course, Gadhafi's departure would be preferable prior to any cease-fire, but need not be insisted upon and could take place AFTER an agreed period if necessary. That, the opposition would have to swallow.
Second, the political space must be created to enable the Gadhafi regime to withdraw/leave. This may well require immunity from prosecution by self-seeking Spanish lawyers, the self-juridicating International Criminal Court and, sadly, the relatives of the victims of the Lockerbie bombing. I say this with the heaviest of hearts recalling vividly as I do that dark December day in 1988 when Pan Am 103 blew up. As I write this I wince.
Third, tribal leaders have been marginalised recently following the concentration of power in the hands of the Gadhafi clan. They must see they have a role in immediate post-Gadhaffi stability and that their interests will be protected. This should extend to elements in the Army so that the Libyan top brass need fear no reprisals, nor an Iraqi-style disbanding of the Army.
Fourth, the West must engage the Arab League and the African Union much more aggressively in consideration of a post-Gadhafi constitution. The European Union has a vital role to play in this respect, particularly as it concerns bringing key parties to the conflict together. An informal Libyan Transitional Conference in Europe would help give political momentum to the vision.
The next steps will be critical and this will involve some risk because to create the political space a breakthrough of sorts is needed. Two actions are needed urgently. NATO and/or the EU (preferably the latter) must now intervene on the ground in Misrata which is fast becoming the leitmotif of the struggle. This humanitarian intervention in strength could unlock what is fast becoming a stalemate with Misrata the key to the struggle. Turkey must be encouraged to play a leading role in post-Gadhaffi stabilization. Although a former colonial power that was a long time ago and as a Muslim, allied country that has expressed grave concerns about Operation Unified Protector, Ankara would have all-important legitimacy.
Mission creep? Perhaps, but unless the regime is placed on both the political and military back foot and quickly this quagmire will only deepen.
Why is Libya so important? First, Libya and the struggle of the Libyan people is of course important in principle. It is amazing for an idea apparently in decline that so many people are prepared to die for freedom. Second, we are already embroiled. The Libyan Job is therefore important in fact. Third, we cannot afford any more successes of the type we are 'enjoying' in Iraq and Afghanistan. It has been a bruising decade for the West. And, the Taliban have just given us another good kicking by re-enacting "The Great Escape" in Kandahar.
Ultimately, as Mr Bridger, the English capo dei capi (played by Noel Coward) tells Caine in "The Italian Job" - "It is all a question of prestige".
Yes, ultimately, it is all a question of prestige.

Since the beginning of pageants, I've grown so much!
Alanha is just like any other young girl. She loves music, movies, dancing, sports, and hanging out with her little brothers! But once she was diagnosed with cancer, her life changed forever. She had to undergo six brain surgeries and three spinal cord surgeries.
Through pageants, Alanha has learned a lot from her. When asked why she competes in pageants, Alanha replied, "Since the beginning of pageants, I've grown sooo much! The confidence, grace and poise it has taught me is priceless! I feel completely at home with my pageant family. The whole reason I began my journey in pageants can be summed up in a few short words…it's all about the kids. My goal is to use my own journey and trials to show kids that it doesn't matter what your circumstance is…YOU CAN SUCCEED!"
When Alanha and her family met with Make-A-Wish, she had no difficulty deciding what her wish was. She wanted to go to New York City and tour the Miss Universe office.
Last December, Make-A-Wish Mississippi granted Alanha's wish to go to New York City and meet the Miss Universe office. It was truly an incredible experience! Alanha and her family kicked off their trip by going to the Miss Universe Office and meeting the contestants! They ended their day by going to the Gershwin Theatre to see the Tony Award winning Broadway musical, Wicked. The next morning, Alanha and her family went to the Radio City Music Hall to see it's Christmas Spectacular featuring the world-famous Rockettes! The remainder of their trip included admission to the 86th floor observation deck at the Empire State building, a ferry ride to the Statute of Liberty, and tickets to the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum.
Alanha and her family had a wonderful time! They loved every aspect of the wish and said it was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. Not only did her wish provide her with a time that she will never forget, but it gave her a new spark for life!

We're headed for a run-off in the race for Orange County Sheriff between Charles Blackwood and David Caldwell.
All six candidates vying for the position ran as Democrats with no Republican challenger. This means the race will be decided in the second primary to be held on June 24.
Blackwood received the highest total in the May 6 primary with 30.34 percent of the vote; Caldwell received 29.98 percent, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections.
Per state law, a second primary is required if the winner does not receive more than 40 percent of the vote and the second place candidate asks for a run-off in writing.
Caldwell has confirmed that he will.
"I think with all of the candidates, you wouldn't be in it if you didn't want to win it. That's the attitude I'll take to the end," Caldwell said.
Caldwell retired from the Sheriff's Office after 22 years to become a community organizer for the Rogers Road neighborhood.
Blackwood is a 32-year veteran of the Sheriff's Office who served as Major of Operations until his retirement in 2012.
"Like I said, the goal, of course, was to win with the realistic goal in mind of finishing in the top two so that we could move forward, and I planned for that," Blackwood said.
Larry Faucette, Keith Webster, Andy Cagle and Buddy Parker also sought the position, which has been held for more than three decades by Lindy Pendergrass.
Faucette came in third place with 25.9 percent of the vote.

|Tube Feeding Tips: Leaks and Odors
Share |
How Do You Handle Leaks and Odors?
Unfortunate as they may be, leaky tubes, leaky ostomies and incontinence 'accidents,' are a common occurrence for people with chronic gastrointestinal disorders and those on tube feedings. Even without an actual leak, many consumers find they emit strong odors at times which can be uncomfortable for the consumer and the people around them. How do you get over these incidents graciously, minimizing your embarrassment, and hopefully avoiding a 'scene?' Please send your comments to the Lifeline editor, Lisa Metzger.
—Kathleen McInnes
Two Ideas for Ostomy Odor Control
I read the letter from Kathleen McInnes regarding odor control in the September/October LifelineLetter. When I had an ostomy, chlorophyll tablets placed directly into the ostomy bag worked fairly well. There are chlorophyll tablets that can be taken orally to reduce effluent odor also. I purchased these at GNC Nutrition Centers. (Editor's note: you can take some chlorophyll tablets orally, but you must read the directions to make sure they are an oral preparation. Also, be forewarned, the tablets may turn your tongue green.)
—Alan Segal
There is a liquid deodorant which can be added to the ostomy bag called "M9" which is made by Hollister. Our ET nurses recommend it as an effective option for odor control.

Agenda is the appointment diary included with the Series 3 computers. The obvious use is to log meetings etc. but Agenda also lends itself marvelously to timetable and lesson planning!
Set up each lesson as an appointment using Psion-e on the day view, using a unique code. If you run a weekly or two-weekly timetable, press Psion-r to set up a repeating appointment. Make sure you set an end date (eg 31/07/xxxx). Make the repeat weekly, and the period either 1 or 2. Then, to set each lesson, go to the lesson, press enter and type the details. Press enter, and change the second dialogue to "this occurrence only". All the other lessons will be left unchanged.

Seven Democrats are now on the ballot for the 3rd Congressional District primary election, and that number is likely to increase in the coming weeks.
The Secretary of State's office said Monday that seven Democrats -- Jeff Ballinger, Rufus Gifford, Dan Koh, Barbara L'Italien, Bopha Malone, Juana Matias and Lori Trahan -- collected enough signatures and had them verified, confirming their spots on the Sept. 4 primary ballot.
Rick Green, the lone Republican in the race, is also officially on the ballot, although he does not face any primary opponents.
Candidates had to collect signatures from 2,000 registered voters in the district and submit them to cities' and towns' election officials for verification by May 8. Local officials have until June 4 to complete verification, and candidates must then file paperwork with the state, the final step to get on the ballot.
Four other Democrats -- Alexandra Chandler, Beej Das, Leonard Golder and Patrick Littlefield -- have told The Sun they filed the required signatures at the local level. They must now wait for town officials to complete verification before going to the state.
It is likely that some, if not all, of the four remaining candidates will succeed in getting at least 2,000 signatures verified, meaning the 3rd District Democratic ballot this fall could feature as many as 11 names.
A race of that size would be unusual.

That is the question……
I have spoken before about life or love being a game, one big fat fucked up fucking game.
From Pawns to Rooks, from Rooks to Knights and Knights to Queens, and Queens to…….
Like the musical number in Chess 'Nobody's on nobody's side'.
I am so sick and tired of playing or trying and failing to play with others, is it nurture or nature that enables us to bond, to mould, to work and play nicely with other people? Maybe a bit of both, maybe we are pre designed to be a player or be played.
Or neither, why should we allow people to walk heavy on our souls and change how we feel.
It's like looking at someone who has their fingers hold slightly the arm of a vinyl turn table, they are looking at you, straight in the eye as they lower it onto the record which is your life, now they could just drop it, hurting the record damaging the needle, they could place it slowly, delicately, with tenderness and let the music play, then again they could grind the needle into the grooves, fucking up the whole fucking equipment.
What do you do?
You look them back in the eye and take back the turn table which is you.
Play your own tune.
It is hugely easy to do, it's how you see yourself.
One second I could be a pent up frustrated old crone, or perhaps underutilised at work, or even not being listened to at home, then the next moment I'm sitting back and gaining control. It has taken such a hell of a long time to do this, it might not even last, but right now I feel able.
It's not meditation, it's seeing the whole world as a game that needs playing.
One giant SIM's universe that's been left.
For us.
