Beaverton's China Town
No sooner do I write a post about a good restaurant I found in (gasp!) the burbs than I find myself in deepest Beaverton to get Walker's hips x-rayed (it's some kind of show dog thing). The appointment isn't till two o'clock and, since it's around noon, his breeder and I meet at a little dim sum place I read about in last year's Diner section of the Oregonian.
Stuffed tofu
On busy Murray Boulevard across from the Nike campus, China Town Restaurant is nearly invisible to drivers whizzing by. But if you know it's there, you'll step inside its anonymous storefront and into some of the best dim sum I've had in the area. It's not the buzzing whirl of ladies pushing carts that you'll find at Fong Chong downtown, but the quality and freshness are definitely better here.
The pork shumai (top photo, lower right) are hot and juicy, and you can really taste the shrimp, ginger and sesame oil mixed with the pork that are the signature of this dish. The tofu stuffed with vegetables are luscious and have a lovely, lightly sweet sauce, and the shrimp har gow are similarly bursting with juicy flavor. I love the eggplant I've had at other places, and China Town's are terrific with a slice of pork giving the eggplant a hefty bite.
As with Peter and his Original Thai BBQ, I wish this place was closer. But I'll definitely be making the trek to China Town again when I get a hankering for some great dim sum.
Details: China Town Restaurant, 14125 SW Walker Rd., Beaverton. Phone 503-641-4153.

Dangit, and I was thinking of doing a "can you eat well in the 'burbs" thing!
While you're at it, please please please tell me you went to Hakatamon. I have a friend who just returned from 2 years of teaching English in Japan, and he says that their curry beef tasted like he was there again. (I also recommend the edamame, the Karubi, and the tempura.)

You know, Alexander, I haven't been to Hakatamon, but it was on the Diner list along with China Town. I'll definitely put it on my list!

The National Review's Byron York reports on Republican fears that one or more Senate contest will result in a court challenge. The most likely candidates are Minnesota (over absentee ballots), South Dakota (fraudulent voting on the Indian reservations), and Missouri (the usual irregularities, plus something called "provisional voting," whereby people who may not be registered are allowed to vote pending a later determination of their eligibility).

Scott + Michaela Dreams Los Cabos
The wedding week was everything that I could have planned for this wonderful couple. Scott adores Michaela to pieces and he did everything he could to make sure the bride had a smile on her face the whole week. Michaela worked so hard planning with me to make sure that we had everything taken care of. She wanted to show up, soak up the sun and just enjoy all the people that were there with her, and that is what she did.
Destination Weddings are so much more than just being away. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get all the people you love in one place for a week!
The melding of family and friends along with lifelong memories were captured by one of my favorites Steve Bebb. I was so lucky to have such a wonderful photographer with me. Thank you Steve!
Scott and Michaela I wish you all the happiness and hope that you smile as much as I do when you look at these photos!

Kyoto was the best part of the trip in so many ways. The landscape, the people, the shrines & temples. It is stunning, all around. It is hard to put into the right words. The food, the warmth, the serene air, the sound of monks chanting. We stayed in the Gion District, which I highly recommend if quiet and quaint cobblestone streets, with temples and shrines down every alleyway is your jam. It is also known as the area where the Geisha's live. And yes, you will see them scurry, down winding cobblestone paths, in full dress, usually in the early morning (from the back on the left). The other women may be in training. Koi in the river moat! This is the roofline of the Chion-in Temple, so amazing, I spent an hour at the top once I climbed the unbelievably steep stairs (more like a ladder).
The river that runs through the little town center, surrounds the largest Shrine. There are beautiful arched bridges throughout-I can totally see how Monet was inspired by Japanese gardens and landscapes. That green color is the real deal. I think the light reflects all the lush green trees around it. It's surreal. This first Shogon's castle was seriously, one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. It was a really hot day-and it took three hours to walk around it-but I wouldn't have missed it, despite the tourist scene. We spent most every day walking, everyone walks everywhere in Kyoto and Gion, or rides a bike. Other than walking and looking at temples and shrines, and eating, we went to this one arts and craft museum, which was beautiful, but also had some displays that showed all the traditional crafts in Japan. Kyoto is really arty-so wherever you go there are little galleries, and a lot of museums. That's my dad in the red baseball cap-we stuck out like a sore thumb, there were not a lot of American, or Western tourists. Top of thepphilosphers trail. Very popular durring the cherry tree in bloom. Its a tiny narrow path along the river. This day. So amazing. We took a Taxi up to the top of the Philiospher's Trail. And hiked up to the temple. It was so hot, but they had soft serve green tea ice cream, and tiny cafes just before the opening of the temple, so I cooled off in the shade with the best green tea ice cream I've ever had. To give you an idea of the everyday architecture…this little gated home was so pristine, and private. These homes were tucked away off tiny small winding roads, barely big enough for a car to pass through. Very pretty, and all had beautiful landscaping. METICULOUS wedding going in every day in Japan, it totally made me feel like an amateur gardener! Our hotel was AMAZING! We staying at the Westin, and it was perfect. Right in the middle of everything we wanted to see, on a quite street, with amazing views of the green hills. They were also really great at giving us little tips about where to eat, and hike around. I loved the temple & shrine that was litterally next door to us. There are llong wide steps that lead up to, you'd never know that it was even there, I sat there many times at the shrine, and quietly listened to the chants from the monks, and the view from the graveyard…stunning, and powerful in so many ways. They also had a traditional Japanese style rooms "Kasuien" at the hotel, where you can stay on Takati Matts. It is a 7 level home-steeped over the hill so its lots of different levels. It is surrounded in glass (very mid-century modern) with a zen garden in the middle. We opted for the Western rooms, but I love that you have options if you wanted. I loved the creature comforts of the the Western rooms, which came with a kimono, and signature pajama's! On our last night we had cocktails at the lounge/bar and watched the sun set…A very swanky pretty room which is art deco (ish) and a bit mid-century. There is a grand piano and these views. The entire bar is glassed in, with a view from every side. I loved the lemon drinks they had, fresh lemon juice, with some rind, and sugar at the bottom. So refreshing! FYI The Queen (living) Elizabeth stayed here and had drinks in this lounge…can you picture that?
There are over 1, 600 temples and shrines in Kyoto alone. So I would recommend planning a bit ahead, and decide what you want to see. You cant see everything if you are there for a week-even two weeks. However they all begin to blend into one, and the bottom line is, none are disappointing ! No matter what you do, where you eat, and stay, Kyoto is really magical.
I could post a million more pictures of Kyoto, and go on and on, but I will spare you. It is everything and more, that I hoped it would be.

UNIDENTIFED MALE: You can see the people below trapped on Sinjar Mountain. BLITZER: ... covering the devastation... UNIDENTIFED MALE: I'm outside this pediatric hospital. Just take a look inside. UNIDENTIFED MALE: Some of these (inaudible) waiting outside now for more than three days. UNIDENTIFED MALE: I've been seeing dead bodies in the street here in Mississippi.

UNIDENTIFED MALE: George Zimmerman not charged with anything in this case. BLITZER: ... the terror... UNIDENTIFED MALE: Now a third of the building has been blown away.

UNIDENTIFED MALE: Here come flash bangs and canisters coming right up at us. BLITZER: 35 years of... UNIDENTIFED MALE: CNN. UNIDENTIFED MALE: CNN. UNIDENTIFED FEMALE: CNN. UNIDENTIFED FEMALE: CNN. UNIDENTIFED MALE: This is CNN. (END VIDEO CLIP) BLITZER: Hello, I'm Wolf Blitzer. There's a lot of memories in that sequence you just saw. When Ted Turner launched the first 24 hour news network in 1980, many thought it was a crazy idea. Some referred to CNN as Chicken Noodle News. Not anymore. 35 years later, more people get their news from CNN than from any other global news source. CNN is the place where the world gathers to follow breaking news and to witness extraordinary events, some that impact the lives of millions, and others that focus on just one life, like the tense 58-hour drama that played out live in CNN in 1987 after Baby Jessica fell down on well. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFED MALE: What started as a child's innocent game turned into a child's terror, marathon rescue effort to save her life. BOB FURNAD, CNN FMR. EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT: When we found out at the local, the head of station a live cover, we jumped on it. UNIDENTIFED MALE: Little Jessica McClure was playing hide and seek. Jessica tumbled down a pipe and landed in a small area about a foot wide. She was trapped 20 feet underground. FURNAD: I could see that this is really a terrific story. And it's not going to be resolved quickly. Blow out all the commercials. Stay until it's over. UNIDENTIFED MALE: She's upset and crying. For as long as she's crying, we know that we have a chance. UNIDENTIFED MALE: It has gone frustratingly slow. TONY CLARK, FMR. DALLAS BUREAU CHIEF: When we got there, I started knocking on doors. And I would say, "I'm Tony Clark from CNN. We're here to cover the rescue attempt of Jessica McClure. I need your help. We're trying to shoot over the fence. Do you have a ladder that we could use?" You knock on another door and say, I hate to ask you this but can I use your phone. That was the day before cell phones. UNIDENTIFED MALE: Cameras and microphones have been dropped down. Jessica can be heard to call to her mother. CLARK: You could not widen the well that she was in. And you couldn't come in at an angle. UNIDENTIFED MALE: They drilled a shaft parallel to the one Jessica fell in. CLARK: So what you had to do is drill a parallel well that someone could get through. UNIDENTIFED MALE: The rescuers are making progress literally by inches. CLARK: It was scary. UNIDENTIFED FEMALE: Lord, help us always to remember that we are in your care... [21:05:00] FURNAD: This is a gripping story because it's about a helpless little baby who had a name, who had family there, with the whole community gathered around trying anything they could to get this baby out. It's a great story, a great human interest story. UNIDENTIFED MALE: For the second night, redlines have lit the backyard... CLARK: As the hours went on, you thought the chances of her surviving were less and less. FURNAD: The ratings took a huge jump. People are calling their mother-in-law, "Hey, turn on CNN." People who never watched CNN before are now going to CNN. UNIDENTIFED MALE: A two inch hole was drilled into the cavern where Jessica McClure has been trapped since Wednesday. LOU WATERS, CNN ANCHOR: In Midland, Texas, they are in the final stages of what appears to be the eminent rescue of Jessica McClure trapped... CLARK: They had sent a medical worker down who was going to recover. You could see the lines tightening and so we knew it was going to happen. We're expecting to see Jessica just any moment now. UNIDENTIFED MALE: She's alive, man. Holy shit. CLARK: I was very fortunate during all of my years in CNN to cover a lot of interesting stories. UNIDENTIFED MALE: You could see the enthusiasm. You could hear the applause. CLARK: But this is one of those that is very special because it does have a happy ending. FURNAD: That helps solidify our presence to the public when there's a major news event. You know that CNN's going to stay with it. UNIDENTIFED MALE: The applause for the paramedic who just -- who had brought her up. CLARK: People have worked very hard to come to a very happy ending. I'm Tony Clark reporting live from Midland, Texas. UNIDENTIFED MALE: Something is happening outside. BERNARD SHAW, FMR. CNN ANCHOR: You're damn right something is happening. War is breaking out all around you. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) [21:10:00] (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFED MALE: Approaching Lockerbie about 7:00. And the whole sky lights off. UNIDENTIFED MALE: Our witnesses on the ground say they do not see how anyone could have survived. UNIDENTIFED MALE: 11 million 300,000 gallons of crude oil is spilled into the calm water to (inaudible) sound off of Alaska -- 25 miles outside the Alaskan port city of Maldives. UNIDENTIFED MALE: A major earthquake registering between six and seven on the Richter Scale in the Bay Area. Game three of the World Series has been canceled. UNIDENTIFED MALE: The government has ordered us to shutdown our facility. UNIDENTIFED MALE: We are shutting down our facility. UNIDENTIFED MALE: OK. We've heard the orders. We have our instructions from headquarters in Atlanta. Goodbye from Beijing. Mr. Gorbachev teared down this war. UNIDENTIFED MALE: The events on East Germany are moving ever more swiftly. UNIDENTIFED MALE: After 27 years in prison, Nelson Mandela is now free. UNIDENTIFED MALE: The skies over Baghdad had been illuminated. (END VIDEO CLIP) BLITZER: In 1990, the U.N. ordered Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein to remove his troops from Kuwait or else. But he refused. As the U.S. prepared for war, so did CNN with a small snap at the Al Rasheed Hotel in Baghdad and unique technology called the four wire that kept them connected to CNN's newsroom broadcasting live as Operation Desert Storm began. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFED MALE: An explosive development near the Persian Gulf. UNIDENTIFED MALE: There is no place that this sort of nature detection in today's world... UNIDENTIFED MALE: The failure of Geneva Sox (ph) seems to convince the Pentagon that war is imminent. FURNAD: I don't think that the world really accepted CNN until the first Gulf War. The president has laid down the goblet and he basically gave us a window of what was going to happen. So we had prepared everything for it. I recall that during this time of preparation. I wake up from my sleep about 3:30 in the morning. I think that this is ridiculous, planning to cover the war on television. It's unheard of. BLITZER: It was very, very worrisome for all of us in CNN because we had producers back there, we had camera crews. We had three reporters. Bernie Shaw was there, John Holliman, Peter Arnett, they were all there. The management of CNN, Ted Turner and Tom Johnson, were under enormous pressure from General Colin Powell, from other U.S. officials, probably from the press. Get those guys out because once the air war starts, we don't know if they're going to be OK. SHAW: But our responsibility is to our worldwide audience. We will stay. We will cover this war as best we can and we will report in the world. UNIDENTIFED MALE: Military experts say a night air attack is the likely scenario for the start of any fight. BLITZER: That night, I was -- I got a chance to see two very senior Pentagon officials almost running through the halls. They could say when this was to begin because that will endanger U. S. troops. SHAW: And we shortly passed midnight Baghdad time. And I was walking pass the open window, and coming down from the sky, the black sky, like silver paper. I knew instantly what it was. It was chaff -- radar jamming chaff. UNIDENTIFED MALE: Tonight, the battle has been joined. SHAW: And soon as that chaff started filtering down to the ground, all hell brokes. [21:15:00] FURNAD: I was walking by the control room and I can hear the commotion. I walked in and there it was. BLITZER: Our team in Baghdad isn't restricted. They worked and got much information. The only thing they could do is report what they received. CASPAR WEINBERGER, FMR. U.S. DEFENSE SECRETARY: But it doesn't show any sign. UNIDENTIFED MALE: We have to go to Baghdad, Secretary. We're going to Bernard Shaw in Baghdad. SHAW: This is a... Out of my mouth came the words -- something is happening outside. You're damn right something is happening. War is breaking out all around you. UNIDENTIFED MALE: The skies over Baghdad have been illuminated. We're seeing bright flashes going off all over the sky. SHAW: The walls were shaking. The windows were vibrating, the concussions blowing us against the wall. UNIDENTIFED MALE: So we've now been on the air 20 minutes. PETER ARNETT, CNN REPORTER: Now the sirens are sounding for the first time. The Iraqis have informed us... FURNAD: And the line goes dead... UNIDENTIFED MALE: It just cut the line. FIRNAD: ... everybody is stunned and totally silent. And you could feel the tension in that room. UNIDENTIFED MALE: And John Holliman says it's the battery. The battery's dead. FURNAD: And of course our biggest fright was that the bomb had hit the hotel where they work. UNIDENTIFED MALE: Hello, Baghdad. UNIDENTIFED MALE: The line is dead. FURNAD: There was a hash in the control room. SHAW: They were running around trying to find the batteries. We find it, Holliman does the work around. JOHN HOLLIMAN, CNN REPORTER: Hello, Atlanta. SHAW: And we come back in the air. HOLLIMAN: Atlanta, this is Holliman. I don't know whether you're able to hear me now or not. But I'm going to get in to talk to you as long as I can. FURNAD: And there's a collected sigh. And you see shoulders drop down as these tensions leaves people's bodies. BLITZER: The whole world was watching CNN. We were the only ones who had reporters in Baghdad. FURNAD: I look up, CBS, NBC, and ABC, are taking CNN. Stations around the world are taking CNN. SHAW: The Iraqis shutdown CNN. They invoked censorship. So on Friday morning, we packed up and we started to leave Baghdad. News, especially television news is logistics, logistics, logistics. You can go anywhere in the world to cover a new story. Let's describe to our viewers what we're seeing. SHAW: But if you don't have the capability of getting that story out, there's no news. UNIDENTIFED MALE: We're going to go to a live picture in Los Angeles. O.J. Simpson is in that car. BLITZER: We were the O.J. Simpson Network, period. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) [21:20:00] (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Judge Thomas began to use work situations to discussed sex. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Of course, I'm concern it is a high-tech lynching for up with the blacks. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Verdicts against before police officers charge in the beating of Rodney King. AMANPOUR: The horror of this war as the cleansing goes on within few of United Nations patrol. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: An explosion underground in the garage section of the World Trade Center has killed now three people, hundreds of people are still being evacuated from the twin towers.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The Oklahoma governor's office says at least 19 people are dead, hundreds of other injured, and rescuers continue to search for survivors in the ravel of the AP Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is A.C., I have O.J. in the car. (END VIDEO CLIP) BLITZER: In June 1994, football legend O.J. Simpson was charge with a grizzly murder of his wife Nicole and her friend Ronald Goldman, what happen next, O.J. the fugitive from justice. A nine-month trial and a stunning verdict, it became one of the most watched dramas in CNN history. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is CNN. LARRY KING, FORMER HOST: Gentlemen, I have to interrupt this call, I understand we we're going go to where live picture in Los Angeles. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is Interstate 5, police believe that O.J. Simpson is in that car but nobody is pulling this car over. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They're in metro, their slot we got SWAT on their way. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Police helicopter is trailing it they going south through Orange County. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: 911 what are you reporting. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is A.C. I have O.J. in the car.. KING: And I'm sitting in Washington describing this, now I don't know L.A very well so they gave me a map of L.A. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The car is somewhere by Disneyland. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (INAUDIBLE), come on, men, just tell me. KING: Can you not confirm that O.J. Simpson is arrested? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, sir. He is in custody. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Finally, after more than seven months of relentless publicity the double murder trial of O.J. Simpson will unfold before the only people who really count in deciding his faith, the jury. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No on talk about anything else but the trial, that's all you can talk about in the coffee shops, in the restaurants, on the street. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All right. Council (inaudible) will be proceeding. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Simpson's defense team. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: In other developments... JIM MORET, FORMER ANCHOR: The extraordinary nature of the Simpson case between 8:00 and 04:30, we were the O.J. Simpson network, period. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It was the first reality show, it really was. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Kato mania is spreading across the nation's heartland. KING: I knew the defense team, I knew the prosecution team. I would have dinner with one side and breakfast with another side, everyday. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And you say on your oath that you have not addressed any right person as a nigger or spoken about black people as niggers in the past 10 years, Detective Fuhrman? MARK FUHRMAN, DETECTIVE: That's what I'm saying. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He is the key witness in their case. He is the one the allegedly found the glove. MORET: And the pivotal moment of course. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That's people 77. MORET: Was the self-distractive act by Chris Darden, the co- prosecutor who decided on his own to have O.J. Simpson attempt to try on this bloody glove. [21:25:00] Boy, he was a great actor this day. "I can't (inaudible) -- the gloves aren't -- it's hurting my hands." You know, it was unbelievable. KING: (Inaudible) told me that when (inaudible) arrived from Russia. He got off the plane and he said to (inaudible), "Do you think you did it?" That's how much the world knew. Well, when you think about it, he was the most famous person ever charged into murder. MORET: O.J. Simpson in a neat cap. I remember Johnny Cochran steal O.J. Simpson putting on this silly cap. That's an image that I think will be forever in my mind. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: If it doesn't fit, you must equip. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sir, Simpson, would you please stand and face the jury.

SIMPSON: Pretty soon I'll have all -- I have enough to say to everybody and hopefully answer everyone's questions. KING: He said, I'm going to come on to your show soon. I'll tell the whole story and everything. SIMPSON: Oh, I've got to go. KING: All right. Can you just tell us... SIMPSON: I really got to go. KING: What was it like with the kids today?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: A plane has crushed into one of the towers of the World Trade Center. BLITZER: It was the day that changed the skyline and the nation, 9/11, a day unlike any other in CNN's history. The collapsing of the Twin Towers, the Pentagon burning, a field in Pennsylvania that became ground both horrible and hollow. Thousands of lives lost in the deadliest attack ever on American soil. Amidst the tragedy, CNN's anchors and reporters shared with yours their shock, their sadness (inaudible) footage we will never forget. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: So a plane crashed into... UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This was described (inaudible) the size is at 747... UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We have unconfirmed reports this morning that a plane has crashed into one of the towers of the World Trade Center. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We heard big bang and then we saw a smoke coming out. Everybody started running out... AARON BROWN, FORMER ANCHOR: My producer calls, he said, "You listen to the radio". And I said, "no". He said, "You should". He said a plane just crashed into the World Trade Center. I didn't know if it's a big plan or a small plan or it was an accident was deliberate... PAULA ZAHN, FORMER ANCHOR: But when the second point, yes, the South Tower. I think we all knew, it's the act of terrorist. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And so I drive in towards the Bureau. I could see people are rushing. They were driving the other way. People trying to get out of Washington, people were freaking out. At the Pentagon, a plane or a helicopter has passed and the Pentagon is being evacuated. LARRY KING, FORMER HOST: (Ted) also was a friend of mine. And he is right that in that plane that hit the Pentagon. And she called them before they hit the Pentagon on her cell phone and he has to tell her that the two buildings had been hit in New York and they said, "Provide with each other". She knew they were on that. BROWN: The Boston Airport, like airports now across the entire country is closed. All air traffic in United States has come to a halt. BLITZER: And then we heard that there is another plane, maybe going towards the Capitol, another plane was toward the White House. People were running out in the White House, people were running out of Capitol. There has just been a huge explosion we can see, a bellowing smoke rising and I can, I'm telling you that I can't see that second tower but if there was a cascade of sparks and fire and now, it looks almost like a mushroom cloud explosion... And then what happened to me and what happened to every person on planet earth who have access to T.V. is that our clock started ticking because once the first tower fell, you know, that second tower is going to fall. [21:35:00] Female: United Flight 93 New York to SFO had crashed in Pennsylvania for United Airlines. ZAHN: Some very brave passengers attempted to take control of that plane because they knew, from phone conversations, that they had had with family members at the World Trade Center had been attacked, can you imagine the courage? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There had been attacks in two American cities, New York and in Washington. The Trade Centers here in New York have been hit by airplanes. In Washington, there is a large fire at the Pentagon. The Pentagon has been evacuated. And there as you can see, perhaps the second tower, the front tower, the top portion of which is collapsing. Good Lord. There are no words. ZAHN: It was eerie to stand on the rooftop where we were broadcasting from. You can see how tough it is for anybody to sort out the magnitude of what this city endured as well as well as what Washington endured today. When the wind shifted, you could smell the jet fuel, you could smell metal burning. BROWN: Its 1:00, 2:00 in the morning, we sleep and was tired, and I was crying and I was thinking about my daughter was from middle school. And I thought, "God, her world is going to be totally different, is going to be totally different". ZAHN: 9/11 forever altered the soul of our nation. We could never again take for granted our sense of security, and life has never been the same since then. COOPER: There is a really big up here. I had a satellite truck with me. I had a crew with me and we were kind of on our own. Because as you can see, it's coming apart as we speak... (COMMERCIAL BREAK) [21:40:00] AMANPOUR: I reported a few minutes ago about a second wave of attacks they'll being described as more intense. GEORGE W. BUSH, FMR. PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: On my orders United States military has began strikes in Afghanistan. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (Inaudible) Colombia has been out of communication now for the past 12 minutes. BUSH: My fellow Americans, this day has brought terrible news the Colombia is lost, there are no survivors. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: More explosions have rock Baghdad after an unprecedented (inaudible) a few hours ago. U.S. led forces had unleashed their long awaited and punishing air assault. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: In Spain at this moment they are still counting the bodies at least 190 people are dead. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Hundreds are reported dead in Sri Lanka as a powerful earthquake of Indonesia produced devastating tidal waves across parts of Asia. MICHAEL JACKSON, CELEBRITY: I deserve a fair trial like every other American citizen. I will be acquitted and vindicated when the truth is told. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We the jury finally defend it not guilty. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Four separate yet simultaneous explosions striking the transit system there. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The real concern is the wind, and the rain, and any flooding that may cause. (END VIDEO CLIP) BLITZER: Katrina, to many it's a simple name, but for the people of the gulf coast it means so much more. For them it represents death and destruction, and a nightmare of August 2005, Hurricane Katrina. CNN teams were positioned across the south east of United States as the powerful storm hit. When the wind and rain subsided, they found other devastation, homes, neighborhoods, families wiped out, more than 1,800 dead in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. It was more than some CNN reporters could even bare, their reports filled with dismay, grief and eventually, anger. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: A powerful hurricane appears to be setting it site to the central gulf coast. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The winds are just incredible here in New Orleans, we can see the roof of the super dome has been shredded. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This is maybe the easy side of the storm but it does not feel very easy right here on the banks of the Mississippi river, I just want to show you a little bit... COOPER: It's a very strange feeling covering a hurricane particularly one that was this size, got there really just as the first kind of rainfall were starting. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The winds are really big up here. COOPER: I had a satellite truck with me I had a crew with me and we were kind of on our own. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Because as you can see it's coming to part as we speak. COOPER: Went to (inaudible) it was like a Walmart bought some supplies. I was in Walmart earlier in the day and people just come up here in the Walmart and they're like have you heard about my town? A woman at the Walmart said to me, you should to gulf coast of Mississippi because we haven't able to touch with our relatives in Waveland and no one is reporting from there. When I got wave on -- that was unlike anything I've seen before. It's just block after block was gone. People were starting to return and see their lives gone. It's devastating, I mean, after this. I went out with this female body recovery team. We went to the house of a family the last name was Bame (ph). [21:45:00] As you step from their porch, you could smell them. Everything was ripped apart and things are on the floor, it was very chaotic. There was mud everywhere and then they found them. These four people a man and wife, and two children have died in this home. They get drowned in their living room and there's a husband and a wife, and two of their kids were special needs kids. But there were really nothing they could do. They mark an X on the door and they put the number four for the number of bodies on the door that were inside and then they close the door and they left. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: A levee break the size of a football field is slowly flooding New Orleans. I am looking over a scene of other devastation and the entire neighborhood, this water has come up to the east of the houses. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: When we got out there, you could hear screams of people still being trapped in the attics. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: As we came across people punching holes in the attic spaces because the water is filled up all the way up to their attics. GUPTA: What are we doing now, doc, where are we going? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We're going to Charity Hospital. GUPTA: Is this really safe and we heard about the snipers earlier today? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No. Not really. You had to get a row boat and essentially row across from the parking deck across the street and to the ramp of Charity Hospital. GUPTA: OK. Well, we made it. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yeah. GUPTA: Safely. So this is what a Charity Hospital looks like in the middle of the natural disaster. When you get into Charity Hospital, you sort of immediately realize that it is as bad if not worst as has been described. It was completely crowded. There was a smell in the air. When we started to walk around the hospital and realize that the staircase is not becoming filled with bodies as a result of what was happening there, that you needed to start reporting. This is the parking deck between Charity and Tulane Hospital. Patients are here over the last several days since Katrina hit, have been trying to get out of here. One of the images that really struck with me the most was these people bagging patients, with been on ventilators who no longer had power, and they would take shifts. And you couldn't fall asleep and they have to just keep doing it and sometimes the patients would still be awake and are cognizance enough to know that literally in my entire life right now is dependent on where this guy can keep bagging this bag of air into my lungs. For the first time now, you can hear and see the choppers, to try and take some of these patients out. When the helicopter first landed, the Tulane patients started to be evacuated. Keep in mind, this doctor who is sitting here with critically injured patient still. Tulane got all their patients and staff out before they began to evacuate Charity Hospital. And we know that patients died while waiting and that's something that you know, I don't think ever leaves you. Some of these people had been waiting outside now for more than three days. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No food. No water. Helicopter is flying all over here. It's ridiculous. MAYOR RAY NAGIN, NEW ORLEANS: Now get off your ass and do something. And then speak the biggest (inaudible) damn crisis in the history of this country. COOPER: You know, someone actually said this to me in the days after Katrina. He said to me, "You know man? This is all going to be forgotten. It's all going to be cleaned up and washed away and forgotten". But I'm someone who never forget what I saw and I don't think a lot of people who were there. I don't think any of them will forget you. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: There's been an explosion at the Boston Marathon. It went from being an explosion to being a bomb. The FBI, as if, they don't know. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) [21:50:00] (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) BLITZER: And CNN can now project that Barack Obama, 47 years old, will become the President-elect of the United States. GARY TUCHMAN, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: This was a neighborhood in Port-au-Prince with apartment buildings. Now it's the worst devastation I have ever seen. DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: 15-Day old baby, they're begging for a doctor. JESSICA YELLIN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: And now another major story developing in the Gulf of Mexico. Eleven people are missing after an explosion and fire on an offshore oil rig. IVAN WATSON, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: This is one pocket of turmoil in the center of the Egyptian capital, but it is throwing the entire country into a political crisis. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We're following breaking news out of Aurora, Colorado. Twelve people have been killed and another 38 wounded at the screening of "The Dark Knight Rises." ALI VELSHI, CNN CHIEF BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT: This water, this is ocean water. There are waves in the streets of downtown Atlantic City. This is where I am. DEBORAH FEYERICK, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: There are thousands of law enforcement personnel on the ground. They do believe that he is in this area. They've been bringing people in. (END VIDEO CLIP) BLITZER: Marathon Monday, Boston's favorite day -- fans a moment of triumph but on April 15, 2013, two pressure cooker bombs turned the marathon to murder. Three dead, hundred wounded, suspects on the run. All eyes turned to CNN to witness of unfolding tragedy, a desperate manhunt and a city struggling to recover. CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Thank you so much for being with me. I'm Carol Costello. More than 27,000 runners are running in today's Boston Marathon, more than a half million people are expected to line the course. BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Let's get now to Boston. Apparently, there's been an explosion at the Boston Marathon. I am told... UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It was big. It was (inaudible). I saw a big mass of smokes come up. COOPER: And you knew you saw in the moments after the blast, people, civilians, you know, making tourniquets and saving people's lives. ERIN BURNETT, ERIN BURNETT OUTFRONT HOST: A lot of the injuries being on the lower part of the leg which indicated a bomb that was close to the ground. FEYERICK: I started working to phones because I've had a lot of sources in law enforcement. [21:55:00] And one of the first significant pieces of information I got was that the paramedics were seeing forbearance (ph), all out for some of the wounded. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Here on the ground in Boston the FBI admits they don't know... UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Right. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: ... they don't know if this domestic or foreign, they don't know if it's lone wolf or a group. FEYERICK: It went from being an explosion, to being a bomb, to being something that was created based on an al-Qaeda recipe. COOPER: President Obama made it clear said the bombings in Boston are being investigated as an act of terrorism. FEYERICK: And it was late Tuesday early Wednesday that they were able to get an impression of who they believe the bombers were. The problem is they didn't have the names of these two individuals they have no idea who they were. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: But on that Thursday morning, we got (inaudible) they had photo. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Good afternoon. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They were going to make this dramatic announcement and ask for help find these guys. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We are releasing photos of these two suspects. The photos and videos are posted for the public and media to use, review and publicize. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: These rules up the kind of lone wolf crazy person scenario. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Two people are together practicing potentially, buying these products together, assembling together. They're also planning their escape. GRIFFIN: We work all through that night up until the 10:00 news and just above 11:00, our phones are going off crazy. It's crazy. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oh my goodness all units respond, officers down, officers down. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Get on it. GRIFFIN: Over a Cambridge a cop was shot. Police are investigating a fatal shooting of MIT campus police officer by two men who then committed an arms car jacking in Cambridge. We hear the scanner and it is hell's bells everybody to Watertown. FEYERICK: Because there has been a major shoot out. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Gun's drawn and we have heard multiple gun shots. FEYERICK: One of the bombers is dead the other one had escaped. GRIFFIN: I was driving over 100 miles an hour. Cops were passing us. FEYERICK: We get to Watertown. GRIFFIN: The police hear have warned all residents not only do not come outside but not to open their doors to anyone. FEYERICK: You had police cars. You had military vehicles. GRIFFIN: Patrols of cops going through Watertown that looked like army squads going through Afghanistan, door to door, yard to yard. FEYERICK: We heard numbers between 9,000 and 10,000... COOPER: There was an ongoing -- it was all happening in the real time on camera. GRIFFIN: I know I think I still had my ear piece in. And waiting to go on with Wolf and all of sudden I heard it. Just unmistaken, rapid fire. What was that? Was that guns? I knew exactly what that was. Well, it sounded like multiple assault riffle shots to me. It sounded like police emptying their weapons rapidly fired and then all of a sudden it stopped. We're seeing some police activity I'm at Watertown right by the arsenal and school intersection. So Pitts (ph) run to the sound of the shot, and next thing, you know, he says through the surrounding of boat. It's a boat. COOPER: David (ph) it's Patrick (ph), our producer is on the scene David (ph), what do you seeing again? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Anderson, the armed police and FBI, they're done, still resting on the trunks of their cars. I see about a half a dozen, maybe eight guys in SWAT uniforms. GRIFFIN: And there's about 2 hours late, I think 8:00 that he finally gave up. FEYERICK: When Dzhokhar Tsarnaev comes out of that boat and he surrounded by hundreds of officers and federal agents, and he's got a red dot on his forehead and that's because he had a snipers riffle trained at his head. GRIFFIN: Captured, terror is over. That was the tweet from the Boston P.D. It was intense. It was intense. FEYERICK: I'm trying to find the real story and getting that out and having people to understand that I think it's really important to me. GRIFFIN: That's what we do. We want to bring the story to the viewer. We want you to see it. COOPER: There's very few networks that devote that kind of resources to tell the stories and to that stay with the story and then arrive at the story it's quickly CNN does, and stays at the story as long as CNN does, even after a lot of other people have left, CNN is there. I'm proud to be a part of that. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Where is Malaysia Airlines flight 370? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is the final resting place of MH17. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Another very disturbing video. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: An intentional act. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And the protesters have moved all the way down there. AMANPOUR: Democracy is not there without freedom and freedom is not there without freedom of the press. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is CNN.

Speed of reaction to social media trends is becoming more important in the battle between fast fashion and more established High Street retailers, say experts.
Young women are increasingly being influenced by what they see on apps such as Instagram, as well as by celebrities.
Fast fashion brands are jumping on these trends.
But High Street retailers say they are upping their game to compete.
The fashion industry is important to the UK economy. It supports 880,000 jobs, and contributes £28bn to GDP.
And for five days from Friday, the fashion world descends on the capital for London Fashion Week, which showcases British fashion and global brands.
Topshop's global marketing director Sheena Sauvaire told the BBC's Today programme that while the concoctions on the catwalk influence High Street retail design, social media is increasingly playing a role.
"The thing right now in fashion is it's not just runway that's inspiring those trends, trends are bubbling up on the streets.
"Street style will also inspire trends, so really it's become a melting pot of inspiration."
Just as social media is inspiring designers, it is also influencing young women in making style choices, she says.
"That's been the big shift… this inclusivity that social media brings, and the diversity. Girls want to see girls who look like them, that they can relate to wearing fashion, as opposed to those images that have been driven through print fashion magazines for many years."
Disruptive fashion firms, which quickly jump on trends, have recognised this and are gaining ground against High Street retailers.
Pink Boutique, one of the fastest growing fashion brands, says it takes design inspiration from sources including social media, says Dan Arden, the firm's chief commercial officer.
"There was… a saying that was trending over social media over recent months which was 'U OK hun?'," says Dan Arden, the firm's chief commercial officer.
"We were able to very quickly get that into slogan T-shirts – I think we turned that around in three days, and we were able to get that selling and online very quickly."
How quickly a brand can get a product through its supply chain directly correlates with sales, he adds.
Bricks and clicks
The fashion industry is evolving. In the past year, nearly seven out of 10 women have bought clothes online.
This year online fashion sales increased to 24% of total fashion spend, up from 17% in 2013.
Quiz Clothing defines itself as an "ultra-fast" fashion firm. Based in Glasgow, it recently floated on the AIM stock exchange, valuing the company at £200m.
Chief commercial officer Sheraz Ramzan says the firm has grown from "a couple of stores in Scotland to what is now over 300 outlets trading in over 20 countries".
"We've always been a fast fashion brand, and I think now that the buzzword that we're hearing is that we are an 'ultra-fast' fashion brand, and we've developed a very slick supply chain to allow the brand to react very quickly to fashion trends."
'Fierce competition'
So where does that leave bricks and mortar retailers? Have they been swept aside by this tsunami of fast fashion – or are they OK hun?
Richard Cristofoli, marketing director at Debenhams, isn't fazed: "Retail generally has always been fast moving, and critically it's a multi-channel business, not just a High Street business.
"So Debenhams today – over a fifth of our sales are online, and increasingly people are blending the channels – they are shopping online, collecting in store, or browsing in store, and shopping on their phones.
"We see it as a very fluid and dynamic place to be, but undoubtedly it is challenging."
Topshop is another retailer that is finding the line between online and physical shopping is getting blurred.
Ms Sauvaire says: "We know from insight that pretty much anyone now that's coming into our store, she's been on our site already.
She said people see trends on social media, browse online, then go into a physical store to try on clothes.
And it's this blurring of the lines that represents a real opportunity for established retailers, she says.
"If we can knit together the online experience with the physical experience, get to better know our customer and give her personalised choices, the right product at the right time, that's going to be the winning place for retail."
And how to do this? Through technology that is still in development, she says.
Meanwhile, the battle between fast fashion and the High Street continues.
"It keeps us on our toes. Fierce competition, nimble, agile competition is what they are, and it means that you really interrogate your business and your operating model, and who you're for as well," Ms Sauvaire says.

Randal Wilhite '14 has received a Peggy Browning Fellowship to fund his public interest labor law work this summer at the headquarters of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) in the Washington, D.C., area. He is among 71 law students selected from more than 500 applicants representing 139 law schools nationwide.
Wilhite's interest in labor law springs in part from his working-class roots; he is a first-generation college student. As an intern in Yale Law School's Veterans Legal Services Clinic last summer, Wilhite dealt with issues directly relevant to labor, including disability benefits and the problems of rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment endured while serving in the armed forces. Currently a teaching assistant in the Lawyering Program, he is also involved with the Education Law and Policy Society and the Public Interest Mentoring Program. Wilhite earned a B.A. in philosophy magna cum laude from Cornell University.
The UMWA has been an aggressive pioneer in championing workers' rights, and takes credit for such milestones as the eight-hour workday, collective bargaining rights, health and retirement benefits, and mine safety and health protections. The focus of Wilhite's assignments will likely range from organizing, negotiations, and contract enforcement to internal union affairs and safety and health law.
"The UMWA is kind of an old-school, dogged, unapologetic union," said Wilhite, "so the work I'll be doing will, I hope, be in that spirit. Our workers are what make the country run, and at the least they deserve some respect and a good standard of living for their effort."

Some of you may be acquainted with Tom W. Clark and his excellent naturalism.org web site. In 2007 Mr. Clark published an article titled When Worldviews Collide: Root Differences Between Theism and Naturalism which discusses his impression of a debate between theist philosophers Stewart Goetz and Charles Taliaferro and atheist philosopher Andrew Melnyk. I do not have strong opinions on many controversies, particularly regarding questions that focus on technical questions requiring expertise that we non-experts do not possess, but with this debate I am unequivocally in agreement with the atheist side. One of the reasons I am so comfortable taking sides here is that the only expertise that is needed to evaluate this controversy, despite the academic rigor of the discussion, is a decent general education.
I very much agree with Tom Clark's analysis that at the bottom of the disagreement between the theists and atheists (a.k.a. naturalists) is a different approach to evidence, or in the words of Tom Clark "The debate reveals some rather different ideas about what counts as good evidence, good explanation, and admissible argument.... disagreements about the explanatory potential of dualism, about the epistemic status of intuitions and data ...."
As Tom Clark argues, "A striking methodological difference between the two sides, one that helps explain their differing takes on reality (dualist vs. monist), has to do with the status of what T&G call first person data. They put great stock in the validity of what they believe are widespread and commonsensical intuitions about metaphysical matters, intuitions deriving from personal experience.... But from a philo-scientific perspective, the claim that some intuitions or experiences wear truth on their sleeve and can't be second-guessed is to let the tail of data wag the dog of theory.... We shouldn't trust intuitions, however widely they might be shared, as direct apprehensions of what's real since they are notoriously unreliable: mass delusion is possible. Instead, we must test intuitions against objective evidence."
Mr Clark continues: "Transparency and reliability come from having specified and verified the existence of all entities, mechanisms, and events that participate in the explanation, such that there's nothing mysterious or ad hoc involved.... A transparent explanation, at least for naturalists, can't have gaping holes, filled with unexplained, ad hoc explainers. If some things currently escape explanation, so be it; that simply makes life more interesting." In other words, theists have an unfortunate tendency to mistake weak arguments for strong arguments as a result of applying a too lax standard regarding what qualifies as reliable supporting evidence. Or, as Mr Clark says "Yet their departures from good philo-scientific practice can best be explained, I think, as a function of putting the desideratum of a purposive reality above the desiderata of explanatory transparency, evidential reliability and cognitive coherence."

Narrated by 'Abdullah bin Abbas Al-Fadl (his brother) was riding behind Allah's Apostle and a woman from the tribe of Khath'am came and Al-Fadl started looking at her and she started looking at him. The Prophet turned Al-Fadl's face to the other side. The woman said, "O Allah's Apostle! The obligation of Hajj enjoined by Allah on His devotees has become due on my father and he is old and weak, and he cannot sit firm on the Mount; may I perform Hajj on his behalf?" The Prophet replied, "Yes, you may." That happened during the Hajj-al-Wida (of the Prophet).
Know the Conditions of Hajj
Before Hajj Badal is explained, let's understand Hajj. Hajj is one of the pillars in Islam which is made good for those who can afford the journey.
The following are the requirements for Hajj:
1) To be a Muslim
2) To be mentally fit (not insane)
3) Freeman
4) To have sufficient provisions for dependents for the duration of absence; to possess all requirements of travel and financially be able to afford the journey and its expenses.
5) Security of route. Ensure the journey is safe.
6) A woman must be accompanied by her husband or a Mahram (a male member of her family whom she cannot marry according to Islamic Law).
If any of the above conditions are not found, Hajj will not be considered Fardh.
Hence, there is absolutely no need to take loans, nor is there any need for the 'Fly Now, pay later' scheme. It should be borne in mind that Hajj is not Fardh upon a blind person; a person who is unable to walk; and upon an invalid person.
When the conditions that make Hajj Fardh are found, then it becomes Waajib upon that person to perform Hajj immediately (during the first available Hajj period). One is not permitted to delay the Hajj, one will be committing a very grave sin and in the eyes of the Shari'ah one will be classified as a Faasiq (disobedient to Allah the Ta'ala).
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said; 'Hasten in performing the (Fardh) Hajj, for verily one never knows what will befall one'.
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said; 'The one who intends performing Hajj, then verily he must hasten'.
What happens when one falls critically ill or passed on when all the requirements of hajj are met?
Hajj Badal is the term use for performing Hajj on behalf of others.
To do so one must meet the requirements for Hajj E Badal.
1) This person must have passed away or is very sick (have no hope for surviving).
2) If best it must come from the wealth of the deceased that was left behind.
3) The family must have the financial means to do so after paying all the debts of the deceased.
4) The cost of Hajj Badal cannot be more than 1/3 the cost of an actual person going for Hajj.
5) The performer that performs this on behalf of the deceased must have gone for Hajj before.
What if all the wealth left behind was just enough to pay the debts he owed to others and nothing left behind?
Then this is not compulsory for the family to perform Hajj Badal as it does not meet the requirement above.
What if the family members still insists on doing so for them as they pool the money for this?
May Allah swt reward them for this effort but please take note it is still not compulsory to do Hajj Badal for this deceased person because of the requirements not met. Do not put burden onto yourself nor your family if you don't have the financial means. Allah knows best.
Hajj Badal is only for one whom had wealth and was not able to perform the Hajj during his/her lifetime.
If you have fulfilled the criteria above, we offer the following package.

Earlier this week, 42-year-old Mohamed El Fechtali was found guilty of attempted kidnapping/child enticement and accosting a child for immoral purposes in connection with a 2011 incident, according to Upper Michigan's Source. El Fechtali pleaded not guilty to charges of attempting to abduct a 12-year-old girl in Munising in November of 2011.
News reports claim that El Fechtali, a native of Montreal, Canada, was traveling back to Montreal from Saskatchewan following a job interview when he got turned around and asked the victim for directions. He then offered to take the little girl home. When accused of trying to entice the girl into his vehicle in order to have sex with her, El Fechtali said "That's not true." He went on to say that all he wanted was directions so that he could get back home. However, he did confess at a later date that he was attempting to get the girl into his car in order to have sex with her, but that confession was thrown out by a judge. He claims to have confessed out of fear of a beating from police. After returning to Canada, El Fechtali was brought back to the U.S. after the Michigan Court of Appeals reversed the judge's decision to throw out his confession.
During his trial, El Fechtali took the stand in his own defense, telling the jury that he did speak to the girl, but that he did not intend to kidnap her. The defendant said that he wanted to get home, did not know where he was, and was interested only in getting directions, not friendship.
The trial was held at Alger County Circuit Court. A sentencing date has not yet been set.
El Fechtali likely faces serious punishment when sentenced. In Michigan, accosting a child for immoral purpose is considered a Class F felony. Those convicted face fines of as much as $4,000, up to four years in prison, or both – this is for a first-time offender. Individuals who are found guilty of child enticement will also be required to register as sex offenders. Accosting or soliciting a child under the age of 16 for immoral purposes is a Tier II offense, which means those convicted will be required to register as a sex offender for 25 years.
In cases such as the one above, it is difficult to know whether the accused has been convicted of a crime he or she is not guilty of. El Fechtali claimed he has never been in jail before, and that he was afraid of what police would do to him while he was being interrogated. Michigan criminal defense attorneys know how aggressive and intimidating police can be, and that suspects are often worn down, exhausted, and forced into admitting to crimes they did not commit.
Regardless of a person's innocence or guilt, it is vital to consult with a skilled defense lawyer who is committed to getting to the truth, and obtaining positive results.

No doubt about it, the complexity of integrating IT systems is proliferating. More regulations, diversification and federation of data, and growing security considerations, coupled with the diaspora of on-premise and hosted software, infrastructure, and platform offerings have made efficient integration a challenge. As businesses come to the realization that the challenges of integration may be beyond the ken of in-house IT, they are increasingly looking to managed service providers (MSPs) that can offer a combination of technology, people, and processes designed to expertly streamline integration and data management for enterprises. When paired with purpose built technology solutions, the human element offered by many MSPs can be the secret sauce that delivers lower costs, simplicity, and better security for enterprise customers.
I am proud to share the Liaison has been ranked among the top ten elite MSPs in Nine Live Media's MSPmentor 501 Global Edition (#9) and the MSPmentor 200 North America Edition (#8). Recognized for our comprehensive service offerings, including data management, cloud and on-premise integration, data and application security solutions, as well as our professional services, this recognition from Nine Lives Media affirms the success of our efforts to streamline the increasingly complex integration challenges that our customers face on a day to day basis.

As some of you have said, I am always around then I go missing for a couple of weeks. When I'm not at work, I'm am usually found doing something to do with cricket.
For the last couple of weeks of February, I was away training with the England Cricket Team in Mumbai. The tour comprised of 3 Senior players and 5 Academy players and just as many staff! Why the hell would we go to Mumbai? Well the playing conditions are totally different to those in England, so the way I play in England means I was completely stuffed on the first day. The training camp was a great opportunity to have a decent block of training, push ourselves physically in the heat (roughly 35 degrees each day) and basically get as much wrong as possible so that we, as individuals, find out what works for us in India.
What does a typical day of training look like?
One thing all the girls have in common is our love of food so anything to do with food is a highlight of our day. At breakfast, being the super cultured person I am, I tried the spiced scrambled eggs which were delightful. Some people were less adventurous and went for normal scrambled egg but who am I to judge? The hotel ran out of Greek yogurt pots and we all nicked a few each to have as a snack when we got back from training!
Afterwards, we travelled to the cricket ground by coach and we got to see a few delights of Mumbai, like a goat being walking down the street. Every morning we trained for at least 3 hours, comprising of a mixture of batting, bowling or fielding practise with either a strength session or running session. After our usual chicken curry (apparently, there's no such thing as not spicy), naan bread and rice for lunch, we head back out for another few hours training, building on what we focused on in the morning. Having the senior players there was great as you get an idea of their work rate. All the academy girls upped their games to match the England Girls, which was great to be a part of. It was also pretty satisfying to see that all the hard work we have put into our fitness had paid off.
Once training was done and dusted (literally…everything we owned was now orange from the dust), we headed back to the hotel. I was one of the few to head straight to the pool after I'd had a cup of tea, whilst reevaluating my life after an epic day's training! Tired does not cover it sometimes. Burnt also does not even really cover it…
In the evening, there wasn't that much to do so we did what we did best and took ourselves to the buffet and we did our best at finding anything that was not spicy. Feeling very full, my roomie and I took ourselves off to bed, watched a movie in the evening and got ready to do it all again the next day.
I've been lucky to have played cricket in several countries and each has their own challenge! India, at just under 40 degrees, is a tad hot for someone who has to wear factor 50 sun cream in England. India is a wonderful place! Not just because they love cricket so much (I mean the club had already trained before we got there at 8:30 am and then stayed there all day to train with us!), but there is just so much going on. Goats are being walked down the street, people walking through the middle of giant crossroads with their food stall, markets along the street and Tuk-Tuks that don't stop for anything. It was completely mad and I loved it!

Our new album is out this week...
'Evidence – the third album with Modular Moog-obsessive Ben 'Benge' Edwards, ferries the listener to a paranoid, dystopic, late-night city soundtracked by dense, pulsating synths, glacial melodies and ethereal half-sung, half-spoken vocals. Foxx's creative fires still burn white hot.' 4/5 MOJO
'His relationship with young producer Benge has seen Foxx release his best music since the glory days of early Ultravox and debut solo album Metamatic, and Evidence is even more brimful of sci-fi sensuality than last year's The Shape Of Things. Highlights include the dark house of Matthew Dear collaboration 'Talk (Beneath Your Dreams)' and two centre-piece excursions with Brighton electro maverick Gazelle Twin.' 4/5 UNCUT
'Foxx's legacy has come to be revered, with his influence on electronic music recognised by the likes of The Orb and LFO. Evidence, Foxx's third album in 3 years with The Maths, provides plenty of evidence why. The tracks are crafted and atmospheric and the collaborations serve to anchor the album in the present rather than the past.' THE WIRE
'Evidence offers 15 tracks of escapist, dreamlike 'ballads', glowing with sprawling analogue paranoia and grimy, debased atmospheres. The beauty lies in the music's simplicity, of which the duo revel effortlessly throughout, as if they couldn't be having more fun if they tried.' 8/10 BARCODE
'Foxx has refreshed his creative music with consistently excellent work in recent years. Lush and romantic, Evidence is the kind of timeless electronic album you can dream inside.' 8/10 CLASSIC ROCK
'The new John Foxx And The Maths album is quite something. A beauty.' ELECTRONIC SOUND
'The mood is dark and unsettling as Foxx combines the icy beauty of 'My Town' with the eerie 'Changelings', featuring the haunting voice of Gazelle Twin.' 4/5 CLASSIC POP
'A pulsing electro cover of Pink Floyd's 'Have A Cigar' might be an unexpected (though warming) surprise, but the closing quartet of 'Shadow Memory', 'Walk', 'Myriads' and 'Only Lovers Left Alive' sees Foxx and Benge simmering in exquisite fashion.' 4/5 RECORD COLLECTOR
'The third album from the cutting edge electro innovator's adaptable outfit is another classy blend of off-kilter ambient atmospheres, dubbed dreams and general analogue silkiness. Pink Floyd's 'Have A Cigar' gets re-rolled but Foxx's own compositions exert a compelling fascination.' 4/5 DAILY MIRROR
'Rather than treat their analogue synthesizers as museum pieces, John Foxx and his electronic producer partner Benge have cranked their machines into life for a succession of albums of futuristic electronic pop. This Dark Lord Of Synth still wields fearsome power.' Q MAGAZINE
'Foxx has embraced technology to create something otherworldly, chilling and at times dream-like on an album that hangs together beautifully.' 4/5 VIVE LE ROCK
'Subtlety and ambience is the thing here. This garden of seemingly straightforward songs is nothing of the sort; it's an analogue world of shifting details.' 4/5 GAY TIMES
'Lush basslines and dubby synths aplenty inducing a spaced out, slightly experimental but visceral vibe throughout.' 7/10 FUTURE MUSIC
'Ever since he started making music John Foxx has always sounded contemporary – and here, more than 35 years on, that remains the case. As a consequence Evidence is a mandatory listen for long time followers of Foxx and electronic music – but also for those new to the form.' 5/5 DMC WORLD
'If you already own John Foxx & The Maths' previous albums Interplay and The Shape of Things then you need this album. If you don't own those records then you need all three, and what a treat you have coming your way.' 4/5 THIS IS NOT RETRO

To The Batcave!
I used to love watching Batman especially when they were in the Batcave. Its practically what I want my studio to look like inside thinking about it! I just found out it was filmed round the corner from where I am living, in Bronson Canyon. Actually lots of films have been shot there over the years, check out the wiki page. So I cycled round today and explored. Heres a little film I took and when I got home I made some bat-sounds on the Buchla 100
And heres what it used to look like in the 1960s:

The Super Bowl… that pinnacle of commercial spots!
So many of us watch the Bowl just to see the car ads that are featured. The creativity and ingenuity that goes into these once a year commercial opportunities is so far above the norm that many of us rush home just for the commercials!
So many cars have been featured in these car ads. Kias, Toyotas, Mercedes and more have already been featured.
But what about real cars? What about the muscle cars from before the Super Bowl made commercials into art?
Here are 11 vintage muscle cars that we believe deserve their own Super Bowl Commercial!

Rare Flower Bounces Back From Presumed Extinction
The delicately hued petals and striking brown florets of Tennessee's purple coneflower once seemed fated to live on only in description, or as a ghostly sketch yellowing on the page of some dusty botanical volume, yet today it's thriving. For over half a century after it was first discovered, the flower was believed to have died out entirely, never to be seen again dotting the cedar glades of central Tennessee. But now, after years on the endangered species list, the purple coneflower has made a remarkable recovery -- bouncing back from the brink of extinction like few other species have done before.In a rare, but hard-fought victory, officials announced plans to remove the Tennessee purple coneflower from the endangered species list. The flower had the unfortunate distinction of being one of the first plants placed on the list when it was added back in 1979 -- but that was just the first in series of conservation efforts that would take place over the following thirty years aimed at saving it from extinction.
Once the coneflower is officially delisted in September, it will be one of only five plants whose recovery has been so profound as to warrant a loosening of protections.
A report from the Knoxville News Sentinel describes how a partnership between U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and The Nature Conservancy worked to help the species, once thought extinct, to make such a comeback.
Beginning in 1984, The Nature Conservancy purchased 950 acres of cedar glades in Middle Tennessee to protect the Tennessee coneflower as well as other rare flowering plants.
New colonies of coneflowers were discovered, and at the same time, researchers began establishing new colonies from seed or from Tennessee purple coneflowers grown in nurseries.
Meanwhile, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation in the early 1980s entered into a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that directed federal grant money to the state for on-the-ground coneflower recovery efforts.
"We threw everything we had at this plant," David Lincicome, biologist for the resource management division of Tennessee State Parks, tells the News Sentinel. "This has been all about partnerships and cooperation."
