The Biggest Loser Starts On Sunday March 17 – Here Are The Contestants
The Biggest Loser: The Next Generation kicks off Sunday March 17 at 6.45pm this year it is about children losing weight with thier children. So expect a lot of guilt.
There are 14 contestants, that is seven teams of two.
Here are the contestants that will be on the show:
GERALD AND TODD: Father and Son, VIC (Green Team)
Gerald is our real life "Kenny". He's the proud owner of a portable toilet business and carer for his disabled daughter. At 52, he wants to be a better role model for his son Todd and a better husband to wife Kate. He hopes to reverse his Type 2 Diabetes by eating better food and by getting fitter.
Todd, 15, is our youngest contestant. He dreams of making it as a world-renowned baseball player and nothing is going to stop him. Todd idolises his dad and would like to "make Dad proud". They do everything together and were both bullied at school. As Gerald says: "The cycle needs to stop… now."
SAM AND JESS: Father and Daughter, QLD (Red Team)
Sam is a 42-year-old used car salesman who wants to be a good role model to his children, including Jess. He wants to feel attractive again and be as fit and healthy as he used to be 15 years ago. Sam's ready to give it all he's got in the name of love. "I can't wait to feel fitter and to go travelling to the top end of Australia to fish."
Jess, 21, works in customer service and is sick of feeling "fat and lazy". She knows her health is at great risk, and is "looking forward to feeling proud when I go shopping, to being a good role model to Mahlia (her step daughter), marrying Laurence (her fiancée) and looking beautiful".
MANDY AND BRETT: Mother and Son, WA (Grey Team)
At 53, admin worker Mandy is the oldest contestant in the show. She would love to weigh in at less than 75 kilograms and dreams of looking fit and fabulous alongside her son Brett at the finale. "I shy away from social engagements – I am looking forward to walking in a room and feeling proud."
Brett wants to make his dad proud, gain confidence and ultimately run around and play basketball with his local team. At 23, this IT guru is like his mum – shy. "I can't wait to get healthier in order to travel to the States and continue to play basketball."
RICHARD AND AMBER-ROSE: Father and Daughter, QLD (Blue Team)
Richard, 45-year-old salesman, is competitive, driven and wants to break the cycle of obesity from past and current generations, within his family. Ready for a new chapter in his life, he wants to "show everyone that I can do it and am not afraid to put in the hard yards".
Richard's daughter, 20-year-old Amber, dreams of running around with her niece and nephews and gaining more confidence. She wants to be able to wear fashionable clothes and have a busy social life – "I am sick of my current life and am ready to do something about it".
JANET AND KIRSTEN: Mother and Daughter, VIC (Pink Team) YMCA liasion officer Janet, 52, wants to be the person she is "destined to be" and finally feel good about herself. She wants to look nice for her husband and be taken to a ball in a luxurious dress. "I want to be fit for my children and go on a safari in Africa. I have so much life to live."
Her daughter Kirsten keeps herself busy as a part-time swimming instructor for special needs children and studies primary school teaching. At 20 years old, she wants to feel fit and healthy again and yearns for an active lifestyle. "I dream of looking beautiful and would eventually like to get married and have children."
ROBYN AND KATIE: Mother and Daughter, TAS (Orange Team)
Tassie bus driver, Robyn, 45, has always felt that she is being judged by her weight. "I want to walk down the street and feel normal. It would also be nice to have a beach holiday and not worry about how I look."
The other half of our "Tassie Sheilas" is Robyn's daughter, customer service attendant Katie, who dreams of joining the army and become a dog handler. "I am sick of always having weight on my mind, I want to love myself and achieve good things". At 19 years old, there's no better time to start.
CHRIS AND MARK: Father and Son, VIC (Black Team) Other than being a better role model for son Mark, Chris is "longing to go on long hiking trips to fulfil my passion for wildlife photography." The 48 year old works as a park ranger, and has gone from patrolling the park by foot, to driving around.
Competitive Mark, 23, can't wait to push himself to the limits. "Hard work has to be done in order to realise my dream."
The trainers are Michelle Bridges, Shannon Ponton and Commando. Host is Hayley Lewis not that you would know it as she has barely been sighted in the promos as TV Tonight points out.

i have a gut feeling they're all bogans, again.
- 5 Littlepetal { 03.05.13 at 9:45 pm }
I am afraid they will over play the sob story. Not sure I will watch. I
I have watch all the Australian series but the last few seasons were more about fake drama then about losing weight.
- 6 Dr T { 03.05.13 at 9:46 pm }
Geez… I know poor Todd needs help with his weight (I was in a bad way by that age too). I'm not sure who at Channel 10 has thought through the ethics of this decision to have them on the show. (But then again, the network is part owned by Packer and Rinehart). I'd be fairly sure that Todd has enough understanding to consent to go on a show like this in the immediate term, and also would benefit from the weight loss that he can achieve, but surely at the age of 15 he can't foresee (and no one can) what the potential reaction in the community is going to be. The potential for this backfiring for the young man (and to Ch 10 -less of a concern for me) is huge.

Comment 6 – cheap shot, with no evidence, against Gina Rinehart. Diagnosis, doctor, get over yourself, pal.
- 8 brain dead dave { 03.05.13 at 10:06 pm }
Gina Rinehart should be on the show shedding some lard.
I'll watch. This is the most exploitative ,fraudulent reality show going around.

Hey, GR reckons it's ok for people to work for $2 like they do in Africa… hard not to extrapolate

Yeah, I'll be watching. At least there's only one actual kid.
lol BDD
- 11 Jason { 03.06.13 at 12:57 pm }
I have often wondered how/why some parents let their kids get fat but then I guess if the parents are fat, they don't see it.
- 12 LB { 03.06.13 at 2:09 pm }
Dr T, I agree about the ramifications for that boy. He talks about being bullied at school & is being put up for judging by the whole TV watching public. This has jarred with us every time this promo comes on.
However, I do wish his & his family well, and all the contestants for that matter, as it must be a hard place to be in.

I disagree it's bad for the children. It's a great opportunity forvth them to prevent a lifetime of diabetes, etc. The tactics are not everyone's taste but would they achieve it alone? I doubt it.
- 15 Tess { 03.17.13 at 10:47 pm }
Dr T, I'm glad someone else was thinking the same thing. I was looking for comments about this. I can't believe they have a person under 18 on this show. He is a child. Legally, he can't drink alcohol, vote or sign a contract. All the contestants say that the hardest thing about this show is not the weight loss, but the pressure, snarkiness and backstabbing. I know his Dad is there, but it's a lot of pressure for a child to be put under whilst in the spotlight of the entire world. It would be better if his father could come home and teach him these things! I hope he does really well and this doesn't adversely affect him.
- 16 Dr T { 03.17.13 at 10:55 pm }
Well… in Australia and medicine the standard is Gillick competency:
It refers to a legal case (I do not have a legal understanding), but basically if a minor understands what is going on, and the ramification of their decisions then they can provide consent without an adult or legal guardian present. It's why adolescent girls can access contraception etc.
I think the young man and his father are courageous for recognising their health issues and opting to do something about it. I think, however, that this is one of those situations where the producers and Ch10 could have made a decision to support this boy and his dad outside the auspicious of the show, and had them as one of those teams outside the show competing for an "outsiders" prize like in other seasons.
The potential for things getting very messy down the track is there. This show does provide strong motivation for the contestants to loose weight, but it remains a reality show with an element of both healthy and unhealthy competition. I'm happy with the former, but how will the later come in to play with any fairness or restraint with a 15 year old in the house. I suspect that the other teams will moderate their behaviour towards Todd (the young fella), but at the end of the day the name of the game is crash weight loss with the goal of being the "biggest loser".
Thanks for your agreement with my initial post LB and Tess.
Yours in junk food,
Dr T

Emergency Residential locksmith Services
Emergency Service
For fast emergency service when locked out of a car or home, mobile locksmiths can often get the job done within the shortest time possible. For example, rather of making a car, getting found by a relative or friend, going home and risk getting the vehicle harmed or stolen, a specialist locksmith can come to the rescue. These experienced locksmiths can offer emergency services to home and companies, saving both money and time.
Emergency Service
From re-keying ignition locks to helping house or business people enter into a locked building, a mobile locksmith is frequently the solution that is best. Why suffer the stress of leaving a motor car unattended or a home or business unsecured?
Instead of waiting days or much longer for a locksmith to arrive — or possibly even having to go to a store front side — customers can have the locksmith come to them. A mobile locksmith service can change or upgrade locks and restore peace of mind and home security if home keys have been stolen and the homeowner worries about possible break-ins or other dangers.
The homeowner doesn't need certainly to leave home first. Any possible burglars is going to be foiled inside their attempts to use the key that is stolen open a door. Just What other types of services can a mobile locksmith offer? If price is an element, free quotes is provided before arriving to handle a car, home or business emergency. Even though there is not an emergency, a locksmith can assess home, business or car safety and also make guidelines about how to ensure the maximum safety.
Some panicky people try to open doors themselves but numerous home, business or car hair are actually made so your old methods don't work. Even when they do, cars or other locks can be damaged or scratched as well as the lock can be broken even further. Do it yourself means of opening business or home hair also can cause problems.
Some locks may wear down, break or must be rekeyed. A new key is made which fits the door lock and opens it in the re-keying process. a professional mobile locksmith knows just how to take care of this on an emergency basis. The locksmith knows whether a master key or lock-specific key needs to be used (master keys may open a series of different locks, all in the same group of locks) by examining the lock.
In some cases, an entirely brand new lock has to be installed by a mobile locksmith solution. But a master locksmith will give a honest evaluation about whether that choice is necessary. After that, using up to date professional tools, the brand new lock can be put in place and look completely any way you like with the car, home or business exterior.
It helps to know exactly what kinds of services may be completed for each type of need: auto, business or home. Auto emergencies and work that is routine opening locked automobiles as well as changing, repairing, and setting up any type of lock. Mobile locksmith services can also make new auto secrets or re-key ignition and home locks.
Similar actions could be provided by mobile locksmiths to meet business and home owners' needs. The convenience of a locksmith on the go can't be beat whether helping individuals get into locked doors or making or re-keying new locks or keys.

SnoCountry SnoCast: Winter Storm Finishes The SnoCast Season
(Yes, this is really the end of April at Lake Louise Ski Resort in Alberta, Canada with nearly 145cm this month. Similar scenes will overtake the Rockies as yet another snowstorm finishes the month of April. (Lake Louise Ski Resort/Twitter)
Believe it or not, we'll be turning the calendar into May with a bonafide snow storm for part of the Rockies and upper Midwest.
This outlook and forecast is for the week of Wednesday, April 26 through Monday, May 1, 2017. (Head to the bottom of this blog to check out what ski areas are still open)
A very interesting weather pattern sets up for the U.S. this week. Unusually cold air plunges in across the West and northern Plains states, while very warm air surges up the East coast.
In the middle, the result is a powerful storm system that will bring heavy snow to the Rockies, and extend northeastward toward Minnesota and the upper Midwest. This system will also bring the threat of severe weather and flooding for the country's mid-section, but for our sake, we'll focus on where the snow falls.
Light to moderate snow will continue to fall across the Cascades and Rockies Thursday. Look for a more intense period of snow to develop over Wyoming's mountains Friday, then shift southward into Colorado Friday night into Saturday. This will be a base to peak snow, with even the lower valleys/Plains of Colorado picking up accumulating snowfall.
How much are we talking? While tough to pinpoint, it' probably 10" or more for the ski areas still open across Colorado. Utah's mountains will also bring in new snow, probably squeezing out 5"+ or more. Snowbird is the lone standing ski area still open in Utah, so this will be a great addition to the 1-2 feet picked up earlier in the week.
Looks like these same areas will stay in an active pattern through the first several days of May. For the Sierra Nevada range, no significant storms are forecast. For the east, it looks like a done deal with Spring fully in swing.
This is the last SnoCast update of the season. I hope you have thoroughly enjoyed these weekly forecast updates. Enjoy what the season has left to offer. I'll see you on the slopes next season, snow lovers.
-Meteorologist Kerrin Jeromin
Wondering who is still open? Here's the complete of who's still turning chairs by region:

Looks like all Southeast and Midwest ski areas are done for the season.

Implementing Delete Confirmation Dialog in List View (ASP.Net) – Part 2
In my previous blog post I described how to implementing delete confirmation dialog in ListView Control of ASP.Net. In one comment Dan Gilleland asked how to get the localized message text from resource file. In this post I am providing solution to Dan's query.
I have created a project which has following files:
1. default.aspx (and other related files)
2. XMLFile.xml (a simple xml file which provides the data to list view control)
3. Resource1.resx (resource file that contains the localized string.
Follow the below steps to get the confirm dialog text from resource file.
1. Create a resource file in App_GlobalReosurces folder. I named this file as Resource1.
2. Add a string in the Reaource1.resx. I named it as DeleteConfirm. Enter the value you want to display on the delete confirmation dialog.
3. Open your code behind file (.aspx.cs). Write the following line in the Page_Load method.
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page { protected string deleteConfirmText; protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { deleteConfirmText = App_GlobalResources.Resource1.ResourceManager.GetString("DeleteConfirm"); } }
Note that I declared a string variable outside the method and made it protected. This makes the deleteConfirmText variable visible in the .aspx file.
4. Create a javascript function in the body of your aspx page.
function delConf() {
return"<%= deleteConfirmText%>";
5. Change the OnClientClickevent of delete button to call JavaScript function.
<asp:LinkButton ID="DeleteButton" runat="server" CommandName="Delete" ForeColor="Red" Text="Delete" OnClientClick="return confirm(delConf());" />
6. Save all and run your page.
You can download the complete project from here.

Liverpool's rapid downfall since losing Luis Suarez to Barcelona in the summer continued Sunday with a fourth consecutive loss, as Crystal Palace added to Brendan Rodgers' woes with a 3-1 victory.
The pressure, though, eased up a bit on coach Mauricio Pochettino after his Tottenham team came from behind to beat 10-man Hull 2-1 in the Premier League.
A look at the action from Europe's leading leagues on Sunday:
Runners-up last season, Liverpool is now 12th after 12 matches — closer to the relegation zone than the top four. Although Rickie Lambert finally scored his first goal for Liverpool, Dwight Gayle tied it from close range before Joe Ledley netted and Mile Jedinak scored directly from a free kick to secure Palace's first win since September.
Tottenham had lost three of its last four league games before traveling to Hull. When former Tottenham player Jake Livermore put Hull ahead with an early 25-meter drive, it looked as if it would be another miserable day for Pochettino.
But Tottenham had a man advantage from the 50th minute when Gaston Ramirez was sent off. And after striker Harry Kane leveled, Christian Eriksen scored Tottenahm's winner in stoppage time from the edge of the penalty area.
Hull is now just a point from the relegation zone, while Tottenham is up to 10th, only two points from fourth place.
Hamburger SV moved ahead of Werder Bremen and out of the relegation zone with a 2-0 win in the Bundesliga's 101st northern derby.
Artjoms Rudnevs broke the deadlock in the 84th minute from close range. There was a touch of good fortune about the second goal in stoppage time. Tolgay Arslan struck the post from close range and Bremen goalkeeper Raphael Wolf inadvertently knocked the rebound in as he tried to catch it.
Levante continued its turnaround under new coach Lucas Alcaraz by beating Valencia 2-1 in a derby.
With goals from Victor Casadesus and Jose Morales, Levante extended its unbeaten run to three games and rose two points clear of the relegation zone.
Fourth-place Valencia dropped points for the second straight league match and slipped six points adrift of leader Real Madrid.
Rayo Vallecano edged Celta Vigo 1-0 at home to break a three-game losing streak, while Cordoba squandered a two-goal lead and an excellent chance to get its first win after Elche recovered for a 2-2 draw.
Nantes extended its unbeaten run to 10 games in all competitions by drawing 0-0 with Saint-Etienne on Sunday to stay fifth in the French league.
Montpellier moved into ninth place by defeating Toulouse 2-0.
Roberto Mancini's first game back in charge of Inter ended with a 1-1 draw against city rival AC Milan in front of a sellout crowd on Sunday.
A stunning Jeremy Menez volley gave Milan the halftime lead but Joel Obi leveled shortly after the hour mark.
In previous seasons, the derby would often be vital for the destination of the title.
Not this season.
The result left Milan in seventh spot, 13 points behind Serie A leader Juventus, with Inter a point further back.
Earlier, Napoli squandered a two-goal lead to draw 3-3 at home to Cagliari and lose ground in the title race, while Udinese's Antonio Di Natale scored his 200th Serie A goal in a 1-1 draw against Chievo Verona.
Sampdoria remained fourth after Constantin Nica's own goal salvaged a 1-1 draw at Cesena.

NICOSIA – Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades has called an emergency meeting of party leaders Wednesday in a frantic search for a viable plan B after MPs rejected the terms of an EU bailout aimed at saving Cyprus from bankruptcy.
Angry lawmakers on Tuesday voiced their disapproval for a divisive levy on bank accounts, devised as part of the bailout EU-IMF rescue package, decrying as "blackmail" the recently forged deal which already lies in tatters.
Under the bailout deal reached at the weekend, the troika of the European Union, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund were to provide Cyprus with 10 billion euros (US$13 billion) on condition the island raises another 5.8 billion euros.
It called for a levy of up to 9.9 per cent to be slapped on all Cyprus bank deposits, an unprecedented move that triggered outrage among savers and raised fears other financially crippled EU states like Italy and Spain could be next.
The Cypriot government backtracked, and on Tuesday dropped the proposed tax on savings below 20,000, while keeping it at 6.75 per cent for deposits of 20,000-100,000 euros and 9.9 per cent for those above 100,000.
But that too was heavily criticised by the speaker as amounting to "blackmail" before it was flatly rejected in parliament, in a vote that plunges the eurozone into uncertainly and leaves Cyprus scrambling for other sources of financing.
Speaker Yiannakis Omirou said 36 MPs voted against the bill, 19 abstained and none were in favour, prompting an explosion of joy outside the parliament among thousands of protesters who were demanding the house spurn the onerous measures.
President Nicos Anastasiades' office said he "fully respects" the decision and that he had a "constructive" phone conversation with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, amid reports Cyprus was seeking alternative financing.
Anastasiades called an emergency meeting of party leaders for Wednesday morning to "examine alternative plans to address the situation that may arise following... the parliamentary vote."
Later on Tuesday eurozone finance ministers said they remain ready to help Cyprus.
"I confirm that the Eurogroup stands ready to assist Cyprus in its reform efforts," Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem said in a brief statement. Dijsselbloem, who heads the group, gave no indication of what further step the 17-nation eurozone might take to help Cyprus.
Meanwhile Germany, which has taken a very hard line on the Cyprus rescue, said it regretted the outcome of the parliamentary vote and warned Nicosia against taking the easy option.
"For a rescue plan to exist we need a credible way to know how Cyprus will regain access to financial markets. For now the debt is too high ... it must be reduced," German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said in a television interview.
Warning against "irresponsible solutions," Schaeuble said "the situation is serious but this must not lead us to take decisions that make no sense."
The ECB said it would continue to provide financial support for troubled Cypriot banks and a eurozone official said it was now up to Nicosia to come up with "a counter-proposal of equivalent effect."
Media reports on the island said the government would seek other ways of making up a 5.8 billion-euro shortfall, with a bond issue, bank restructure and trying to secure more Russian investments among the options.
Fearing a run on accounts, Cyprus has shut its banks until at least on Thursday, with the island's stock exchange closed for the same period. Given the latest developments, there was no certainty the institutions would open this week at all.
As the island's leaders raced to stave off bankruptcy, Finance Minister Michalis Sarris was on his way to Moscow to seek an extension to an existing Russian loan.
Finance ministry director Andreas Charalambous told reporters that securing an extension to the loan was "very important" as it would throw Cyprus a lifeline.
Moscow extended Nicosia a 2.5-billion-euro loan in 2011 at a rate of 4.5 per cent.
Sarris's goal was to lower that rate and extend the loan's expiration date until 2020 from 2016, reports said. AFP

Help me bring a little sparkle into Blandford Forum - Kate Seeger (festival Director)
So What are we planning, and what do we want to achieve by doing it?
Free Expression is a festival celebrating the arts. Giving employment & commissions to established artists, inspiration & opportunity to emerging artists and the opportunity for the public to watch , experience and take part. An all inclusive event covering a wide range of styles enabling us to introduce people to areas of the arts they may not have seen before. There are too many events to describe in detail here (but don't forget to visit our website www.free-expression.com) but to set the character we have through either exhibition, workshops or performance :Painting, photography, pottery, sculpture, music, classical, contemporary and choral works, theatre, dance, trapeze, literature, poetry. An exciting drumming workshop by the company `Magic Drum` culminating with`Call & Responce` , the public performance in the afternoon. Commision of two permanent mosaic sculptures. The theme Brother and Sister. Two pieces of art linked in theme and linking 2 parts of the town. Model making by artist Peter Rush, stone sculpting by Johnathan Searls and a fantastic chance for the children of Blandford to write their own story and see it published. Specially commisioned the debut performance of `Send me a postcard` by aireal performers ` Airtime`. Started by local girl Emily Redsell, who currently performs in Bristol, this would be her first time performing in her home town of Blanford. Our aim is to use this event to not only kickstart but set an aspirational bar which stimulates year round activity.
Why is this activity important for Blandfords artistic development?
Blandford is a rural town with limited transport links making it difficult for certain areas of the community to experience cultral events outside of the town. There has been a call for many years for some kind of arts centre. The town councils 'Re-generation Project' are trying to raise funds to develop the Corn Exchange but if Blandford can have a local cultral event, it will help establish Blandford as a cultral hub. We hope to reach a wider spread of the community , introducing them to new experiences on their doorstep - changing the way they relate with their Town and their perceptions of what is possible. Its important for the regeneration of Blandford and to give something to inspire the community. Also by having an opportunity to commission quality, diverse new work, it will elevate the profile of the festival and perceptions of the cultural landscape in Blandford.

As the use of wireless devices becomes widespread, so does the need for strong and secure transport protocols. Even with this intensified need for securing systems, using cryptography does not seem to be a viable solution due to difficulties in implementation. The security layers of many wireless protocols use outdated encryption algorithms, which have proven unsuitable for hardware usage, particularly with handheld devices. Summarizing key issues involved in achieving desirable performance in security implementations, Wireless Security and Cryptography: Specifications and Implementations focuses on alternative integration approaches for wireless communication security. It gives an overview of the current security layer of wireless protocols and presents the performance characteristics of implementations in both software and hardware. This resource also presents efficient and novel methods to execute security schemes in wireless protocols with high performance. It provides the state of the art research trends in implementations of wireless protocol security for current and future wireless communications. Unique in its coverage of specification and implementation concerns that include hardware design techniques, Wireless Security and Cryptography: Specifications and Implementations provides thorough coverage of wireless network security and recent research directions in the field.This technique has been recently proposed for low-power and high-speed designs [8].

To make a good company logo, use simple and clear imagery, plain text or a combination of both. Ensure it is unique and memorable, presenting your professionalism and quality in business.Continue Reading
First, spend time looking at other companies and what makes their logos stand out. Decide on the elements to have in your company logo, such as symbols depicting what your business is about. This is the first thing your potential clients see.
You can attempt a sketch on paper or basic design software if you have the skills. A simple visual draft of what you want to create helps when brainstorming your company logo. If on a tight budget, use a free online logo design service. Most of these generate a logo based on information you provide about your general line of work.
Another way of creating a company logo is by engaging other people. You can create an online competition offering a prize for the best design. This is a sure way of collecting as many samples as possible.
For a higher fee, you can engage the services of a professional graphic designer to create a variety of logo concepts from which you will pick one and refine. Often, professional service providers can get you a logo, letterhead, printed business cards and other stationery, all delivered as a package. Before settling on the final design, it is important to get feedback about your logo. Family, friends and colleagues provide invaluable insights.Learn more about Advertising

Waller County in Texas just approved a nearly $2 million settlement with the family of Sandra Bland, a mentally ill woman from Chicago who committed suicide in jail a few days after being arrested for a minor traffic violation:
Leaders of a Texas county have approved a $1.8 million settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Sandra Bland, who died in jail days after being arrested last year.
Waller County commissioners on Wednesday formally approved the Houston-area county's portion of the settlement.
An overall $1.9 million settlement was disclosed by Bland family attorneys last week although the Department of Public Safety, also a defendant in the suit, has said it has not settled litigation and is not a party to the county's agreement.
Authorities have said Bland, who was from the Chicago area, killed herself three days after being stopped by white Texas trooper for a minor traffic offense. Trooper Brian Encinia was later fired and charged with misdemeanor perjury related to Bland's arrest.
GotNews' exclusive reporting over a year ago on Sandr Bland led us to discover videos of her admitting plainly to having "depression" and "PTSD."
No one disputes that Sandra Bland hanged herself in police custody alone. Foul play is not being considered.

Shay Given has said that he is confident the Republic of Ireland can make the Euro 2012 finals regardless of who they are drawn against in the play-offs.
Ireland had a 2-1 win over Armenia at the Aviva Stadium last night and that was sufficient to finish second in Group B.
The draw for the play-offs will take place in Krakow on Thursday with Giovanni Trapattoni's men seeded alongside Portugal, Croatia and the Czech Republic.
The Irish will face either Turkey, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Estonia or Montenegro over two legs next month, and the Aston Villa keeper is happy his side can do themselves justice:
"We will just take it on the chin. Whoever we play will know they are in for a very tough game when they come here, and we will give them a tough game at their home place as well.
"Please God, we can get across the line this time and get through the play-offs."
Team-mate Richard Dunne added: "This whole week has been about getting the points, and that's what we got in the end.
"We knew realistically the play-off was going to be our best shot coming into this week. We thought if we could get six points, then we were guaranteed it, and we have done it.
"It may not have been the prettiest, but we have got the results."

XL Events, working with Premier PR, supplied LED for the London premiere of 'Total Recall' starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel.
Premier PR designed a "red carpet" experience which complemented the futuristic look of the movie. To achieve the right look, Premier called on the expertise of XL Project Manager, Mark Rooney, to specify and supply the LED.
Pixled's versatile FX-11 LED was chosen due to its high brightness, and suitability for outdoor use – a must given the unpredictable British weather.
In total 150 tiles of FX-11 LED were used. 128 tiles formed the Total Recall stage backdrop where the movie's stars appeared for the fans and paparazzi in Leicester Square, and were interviewed by Alex Zane.
A further 22 tiles of FX-11 were used to front the booth for the DJ who played as the stars arrived.
XL Events' Mark Rooney comments: "It was a pleasure working with Premier PR on this event. We had a great team of highly-experienced LED engineers, led by XL's Steve Grinceri, who ensured that the quick rig and even quicker de-rig ran smoothly, which was essential for a premiere in a central London location."

From Ottawa, Ontario, Canada:
I am a recently diagnosed Tpee 2, 49 year-old male. I have excellent control with metformin [a pill for type 2 diabetes], diet and exercise. I expect that medication will be discontinued once weight loss is achieved.
My only control difficulty is with fasting level glucose. They tend to be a bit elevated: 6.8 to 7.8 range. Otherwise, levels are normal. Are there measures that can be taken to improve fasting level glucose readings?
First of all, you are not alone with this problem: it's even got a name, the dawn phenomenon. Getting the fasting blood sugar down is one of the difficult problems in type 2 diabetes.
Several thoughts:
- If you are eating a bedtime snack, discuss with your doctor or dietitian about changing or stopping it.
- The metformin should help: perhaps a bigger dose might be tried (again, talk to your doc!)
- If nothing else works, either (a) live with it, especially if your glycohemoglobin remains in a good range, or (b) start a small dose of NPH insulin about 10 P.M.: this insulin would have its peak effect at the dawn, when the problem is occurring.

The Moon Sisters (Therese Walsh)
Make way for a weird, delicious book that is like your dreams but written down by someone else. Therese Walsh has produced a beautiful little novel and it is about a lot of things and it will bleed inside of you.
The Moon Sisters is, most simply, about the Moon sisters: Jazz, the older, is a stubborn, hardened realist, and Olivia, the younger, lives a real-life fairy tale because of her synesthesia, a mental "wiring" condition in which senses overlap and names have flavors, for example. At the beginning of the novel, Jazz and Olivia's mother has died a few months ago, suffocated in the kitchen by the gas stove, which Olivia believes to be an accident and Jazz believes to be suicide.
Their mother suffered from what sounds a lot like depression, having strong, long-lasting mood swings and chronic exhaustion. She spent her entire married life laboring over a novel she never could bring herself to finish, and she believed that seeing the will-o'-the-wisps in a local park would inspire her. After her death, Olivia blinds herself by staring into the sun and Jazz gets hired at the local funeral home, preparing to settle into a boring life in Tramp, the West Virginia town the Moon family has always known.
Olivia impulsively decides that she and Jazz ought to go looking for the will-o'-the-wisps, and Jazz hesitantly agrees. Their car breaks down and Olivia hops onto a train in a desperate attempt to fulfill her mother's dream. There, she meets Hobbs, a guy with face tattoos who is trying to run away from his life, and he agrees to lead her on her quest. Jazz, ever dedicated to rationality and level-headedness, angrily pursues them.

Grasshopper Jungle (Andrew Smith)
Austin and Robby are best friends in the tiny town of Ealing, Iowa. Austin has a girlfriend, Shann, whom he loves very much, a dog named Ingrid who can't bark, two parents and a brother fighting in Afghanistan. His moral dilemma at the beginning of the story? He's very much in love with Shann, but he is also very much in love with Robby. What's he to do?
The obvious answer is to end the world. Robby and Austin accidentally trigger apocalypse by unleashing an Unstoppable Virus that hatches massive praying mantises inside human bodies, giant insects that only want to eat and breed and are, well, unstoppable. The two boys find themselves wrapped up in the controversial McKeon Industries' scientific experiments (owned and operated by Shann's stepdad's deceased older brother!) and only they can save the world.
This is a book with many different levels: there's the Armageddon layer of the novel, where giant praying mantis warriors are ravaging the Earth. I'll evaluate that first. It rocks. In a world overrun with horrible zombie literature, it was refreshing to read a novel in which the end of the world is brought on by something as wacky as big, killer insects. McKeon Industries is a fascinating villain because, by the time the story kicks off, it has been nonexistent for about 40 years. The chief scientist, Grady, is a horror of a psycho, and watching his terror unfold decades after he is gone is maybe even scarier than if he were alive and orchestrating it himself.
It's a meditation on the weaving, paths-crossing, cyclical nature of history. I'm a sucker for this theme, something I know of I've spoken of before. Austin has this fascinating way of unfolding his story, going back in time to trace his ancestor's journey from Poland to America and his offspring's journey to Ealing, Iowa in a way that expands out into the whole universe. Everything is part of Austin's life and Austin's life is part of everything.

Deep Winter (Samuel W. Gailey)
I don't know what exactly compelled me to request an advance copy of Deep Winter from NetGalley. I guess the blurb is what did it: it makes the book sound like this fascinating murder mystery that is high on intrigue and soapy drama (which I iterate repeatedly is my guilty pleasure). As it turns out, that's not the case, not even slightly.
So what is the novel? Well, it's a portrait of a small town, Wyalusing, the sort that I'd describe as a black hole in that there seems to be no escaping from it. It's populated by all sorts of people who never managed to leave and who are very unhappy with their lives at age 40. There's Danny, who fell through a frozen lake and suffered extreme brain damage that has arrested his mental development; Mindy, the only person who has ever shown Danny kindness; Sokowski, the police deputy with a drug-and-alcohol problem and an interest in hurting Danny and using Mindy; and Carl, Sokowski's sidekick, along with a variety of other, more marginal characters.
The book opens with Mindy dead in her trailer, brutally injured. Danny is there and he is panicking about what has happened. This is supposed to be the mystery of the book, and the blurb definitely makes it sound like we're supposed to be unsure of Danny's guilt in the murder. The only problem, then, is that the book rewinds to before Mindy's murder.
We see who does kill her, and I'm not sure if it's really a spoiler, but I won't identify the character. It's fairly obvious that that's what's going to happen, and then we witness it ourselves. Any element of "did Danny do it?" disappears because we know for certain that he doesn't. Deep Winter then tries to clean up the bloody mess in the trailer by means of false accusations, a poorly-handled investigation, and a blizzard.

The Flight of the Silvers (Daniel Price)
The Flight of the Silvers is one of those books that's difficult to blurb, and because of it, I was misled about the nature of the story, I think. I don't like the word "misled" because it makes it sound like intentional misdirection, but really I just had no idea what the story was or where it would go before I started reading. It's difficult to explain because so much of the basic plot information unfolds slowly--to describe the plot here would spoil a lot of it. So I'll try my best.
One day, our world melts down. It disappears completely. Everything is destroyed and all that remains is a void. But 6 of us are saved: Amanda and Hannah, two sisters who have never gotten along; Mia, a young girl; David, a young boy; Theo, an alcoholic former child prodigy; and Zack, a comic book artist.
Strange, almost-human-but-not-quite people put bracelets on their wrists right before the apocalypse and they are spared, transported to an alternate reality. There, they are rounded up and kept in a facility where they learn that they have special gifts--they can control a force called tempis, something readily available in the universe they found themselves in that doesn't exist in ours. It's to my best understanding that tempis is similar to time, and controlling it allows you to manipulate an object's age or position in time (more or less).
The new universe is full of machines that can control tempis, but people who can do so are considerably rarer and believed not to exist. And so the six Silvers fall into a conspiracy in which they are trying to be killed because they are believed to be the catalysts for the destruction of this alternate reality they now belong to. They have to escape the facility (in California) and head for New York to meet with a mysterious figure named Peter who is supposed to help them.

Struggle for Life: "It's going to be hard to bring things up to standard"
by Fabien Lemercier
- After The Rendez-Vous of Déjà-Vu, Antonin Peretjatko brings us a new unrestrained, intelligent and corrosive comedy being distributed by Haut et Court
Tarantulas, iguanas, snakes and other beasts from the animal kingdom should watch out, as planet Earth is home to a much more astonishing species, which thrives on the pig-headed absurdity of its civilising ambitions: human beings. And it's in a modern world in which the high administrative spheres of decisions that are completely out of touch with reality come crashing down that highly original French filmmaker Antonin Peretjatko has chosen to invest in Struggle for Life [+see also:
film profile], with the farcical and poetic freedom that also characterised his debut feature film The Rendez-Vous of Déjà-Vu [+see also:
film review
film profile] (unveiled at Directors' Fortnight at Cannes in 2013 and nominated for the César for Best First Feature Film in 2014). Joyfully returning to his favourite actors, Vincent Macaigne and Vimala Pons (after resisting pressure from the system to choose actors that would be more 'bankable') and not once turning away from the wild spirit of his comedy, the director takes up the challenge, with astounding ease, of broadening the horizon of his humour (which is a lot more subtle than his addiction to an unrelenting pace of gags would initially have us believe), with a film shot on another continent that mixes several genres, from adventure to romantic fiction, with a fanciful and sarcastic portrayal of the absurdity of the conformism that dominates the present-day.
Stuck in a cycle of internships for going on ten years, Châtaigne (Vincent Macaigne) is sent on a mission by the Ministry of Standards in Paris to "ensure that European standards are being applied on the Guyaneige building site", a project for the first ever Amazonian ski slope put together in partnership with a pension fund for seniors and the World Sport Bank. Equipped with the Code of standards and pursued by a relentless bailiff following some homonymic confusion ("take a few steps to prove that you're alive"), our kindly singleton, who's stuck in a rut and full of willingness, heads for French Guyana ("it's France, whose empire that the sun will never go down on!). But predictably, despite the best efforts of the Guianese Tropical Council (headed up by Mathieu Amalric), the reality of the situation on the ground is far removed from what the technocrats intended, like the statue of Marianne that opens the film, which falls into the middle of the Amazon rainforest as it is being airlifted by helicopter for an opening ceremony. And Châtaigne's South American stay is full of twists and turns, as our 'hero' quickly gets lost in the jungle alongside another intern, Tarzan (played by the charismatic Vimala Pons, who also stars in Elle [+see also:
film review
film profile] by Paul Verhoeven, currently being shown in theatres). What follows are nights spent sleeping under the stars perched on tree branches, crossings of rapids, grotesque encounters with mercenaries and a religious sect, an overpowering aphrodisiac, meals of larvae, and flights of butterflies. Adventure and love are on the cards in this return to nature, in a film that knows how to take the time to dream in the midst of the corrosive farce born from the follies of globalisation gone mad.
Produced by Alice Girard for Rectangle Productions, Struggle for Life was co-produced by Belgium and most notably received support in the form of an advance on receipts from the CNC. Released in French theatres this Wednesday by Haut et Court, the feature is being sold internationally by Be For Films.

We are hard up against the 2014 Academy Awards and this one is going to be particularly exciting. The Big Fish pulled some strings and FishDuck has been invited to appear on the red carpet for the awards.
This year's roster of Best Picture nominees is one of the main reasons why we were selected to attend. Never have there been as many movies relevant to Oregon sports:
1) Twelve Years a Slave: The inspiring yet gruesome story of Ken Simonton, who famously said that he felt like a slave during his years in Corvallis. Since even driving through Corvallis is a bit like being whipped bloody, I can understand. But he did get an education . . . of sorts.
2) Captain Phillips: Another harrowing tale, this one about what it is like to compete in the Pac-12 when Oregon is always the better team. Tossed about on a murky sea of seemingly endless losing, opposing teams have only one way to get rid of the gnawing feeling that plagues the pits of their stomach.
3) American Hustle: A no holds barred look at whatever black magic keeps Lane Kiffin employed.
4) Dallas Buyers Club: Docudrama of how SMU helped make the Southwestern Conference the greatest collaboration in the land.

New All Black Ngani Laumape finishes brilliant Hurricanes try against the Lions
Outstanding young Hurricanes centre Ngani Laumape has been rewarded for his impressive form with a call up to the All Blacks bench for the second Test against the British and Irish Lions on Saturday. Laumape finished this excellent try for the Hurricanes on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old, who played four years of Rugby League and was actually a forward when playing Union at high school, has had a stellar season of Super Rugby, combining well with Vince Aso to make it easy for fans to forget about the legendary pairing of Ma'a Nonu and Conrad Smith.
Laumape will make his Test debut in front of his home crowd in Wellington. His strong performances this year saw him lead Super Rugby for line breaks and defenders beaten and he's currently joint leading try scorer with 14 tries.
This effort against the Lions was just another stunning piece of Hurricanes backline play, and signaled the beginning of Laumape terrorising Lions flyhalf Dan Biggar, who made a courageous tackle over the line but felt the full brunt of it.
The bruising young centre then attacked his channel repeatedly throughout the contest, which was a thrilling game but ended in a stalemate, 31-31.
ALL BLACKS SQUAD (Test caps in brackets):
1. Joe Moody (26), 2. Codie Taylor (17), 3. Owen Franks (92), 4. Brodie Retallick (62), 5. Samuel Whitelock (86), 6. Jerome Kaino (79), 7. Sam Cane (42), 8. Kieran Read (98) - Captain, 9. Aaron Smith (60), 10. Beauden Barrett (51), 11. Rieko Ioane (3), 12. Sonny Bill Williams (35), 13. Anton Lienert-Brown (11), 14. Waisake Naholo (12), 15. Israel Dagg (63)
16. Nathan Harris (6), 17. Wyatt Crockett (60), 18. Charlie Faumuina (48), 19. Scott Barrett (6), 20. Ardie Savea (14), 21. TJ Perenara (31), 22. Aaron Cruden (48), 23. Ngani Laumape - new cap

Confetti wasn't the only thing that got dropped at Wednesday's night's "American Idol" finale. Need a hint? Keep your eyes glued to Jennifer Lopez's, uh, crotch.
The "Idol" judge is reportedly leaving the show after this season, but before saying adieu, she apparently wanted to wow her audience with one more attention-getting outfit.
Lopez, 42, started the show in an elegant sequined long-sleeved dress, but when she took to the stage in between performances from finalists Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez to sing "Goin' In" and "Follow the Leader," it was off with the gown and into something a little sportier. And sparklier.
On stage, the singer showed off her midriff in a glittery sports bra and matching drop-crotch harem pants, which gravity threatened to overcome as she leapt around stage performing with reggaeton duo Wisin and Yandel.
Do you dig J.Lo's harem trousers? We'll definitely miss Lopez's amazing "Idol" outfits when she leaves, but to be honest we might be glad to give these pants an early send-off.
See more of J.Lo's "Idol" outfits from this season!

Singapore port held another glamorous naming ceremony for first of a kind 50,000 DWT MR chemical tanker.
In the presence of many international guests and it's new captain Jacob Valiaveed, Jesslyne Widjaja (Director Corporate Strategy & Business Development, GAR) became the godmother of IMOIIMAX Stena Impression. The impressive vessel is equally owned by a joint venture between Stena Bulk and Indonesian Golden Agri Resources (GAR) and will be operated by Stena Weco. The ship is the first one from a 10-vessel order with a total cost of $400 million and scheduled to be completed by 2017.
These new vessels will be added to the Stena Weco logistical systems which will then reach 60 tankers.
The new Stena ships have been designed to transport clean and dirty petroleum products, as well as vegetable oils. Exactly palm oil will be the first cargo IMOIIMAX Stena Impression will have to deliver on its maiden voyage to US. The duration of the sail is expected to last 2 months.
Erik Hånell, CEO of Stena Bulk stated that IMOIIMAX tankers would be of significant addition to the successful collaboration with Golden Agri and one step ahead to one more sophisticated trading system.
What makes the new IMOIIMAX tankers special is the unique design, result of the team work between Stena Teknik and Chinese shipyard Guangzhou. A tanker is designed to have 18 equal tanks, as each one of them has the capacity of 3 000 cubic meters. Only this one innovation gives the cargo a better flexibility. But there are also other improvements like the auto-tuning main engine, recovery of propeller energy loss, effective tank-cleansing system, aerodynamic design of the accommodation and bridge etc.
All innovations put into action lead to 10-20 percent lower fuel consumption when the vessel sails at service speed. Exactly flexibility and energy efficiency are the main features that distinct the IMOIIMAX concept from the other vessels from the same class.
Mr. Hånell gave also some information in advance regarding the next tankers of the order which are about to be delivered:
- The Stena Impeccable - owned by Stena Bulk and GAR
- The Stena Immaculate - owned by Stena Bulk and GAR
- The Stena Immortal - owned by Stena Bulk and GAR
- The Stena Imagination - owned by Stena Bulk and GAR
- The Stenaweco Impulse - owned by Stena Bulk and GAR
- The Stena Imperative - owned by Stena Bulk
- The Stena Imperial - owned by Stena Bulk and GAR
- The Stena Important - owned by Concordia Maritime
- The Stena Image - owned by Concordia Maritime

Recommendations for the community of older, neighborhood-oriented commercial areas and a mix of single-family and multifamily housing, will become one in a series of land use plansthat set design and development patterns in Purple Line station areas.
Reflecting input from members of the community collected over three years, the draft recommends new mixed-use zoning, varied housing options to serve residents at different life stages, and a safe, connected pedestrian and bicycle network. Overall, planners expect the transit stations – at Arliss Street and University Boulevard – to catalyze redevelopment and reinvestment. The plan includes a recommendation to designate the Flower Theater and Shopping Center as a historic site, placing it on the county Master Plan for Historic Preservation.
The County Council has received the Planning Board draft and will be setting up a public hearing for July. Document [PDF]
The Design Guidelines will assist in implementing the recommendations in the approved and adopted Long Branch Sector Plan. The Design Guidelines, comprised of text, maps, illustrations and photos, are not regulations. They illustrate the plan vision and suggest ways the plan recommendations may be met, encouraging creative designs that create an attractive public realm. They also provide guidance in creating graceful transitions between existing single-family zoned residential properties and proposed CRT zoned properties.
After the draft guidelines are approved by the Planning Board, they will be transmitted to the County Council. When the Sector Plan is approved and adopted, the Planning Board will resume work on the Design Guidelines to reflect the approved and adopted Sector Plan. At that time, the Planning Board will hold a public hearing and take into consideration testimony before approving the design guidelines for use. See guidelines [PDF]
Long Branch was covered in part of the East Silver Spring and City of Takoma ParkMaster Plans, which were approved and adopted in 2000. Both plans cited reinvestment in commercial centers and quality of life issues as important to this multicultural community.
Two groups appointed by the County Executive examined commercial reinvestment, pedestrian and public safety, and recreational opportunities. The Long Branch Sector Plan will build upon the recommendations of those groups. View the Long Branch Scope of Work [PDF] (600KB).
Planners will focus on land use and regulatory recommendations to create a mixed-use, transit- oriented community that enhances the attributes that make Long Branch unique and dynamic. The plan will:

Council of State Candidates Detail Opinion on Open Government in North Carolina
ELON, N.C. — A majority of statewide political candidates in North Carolina favor requiring state agencies that violate public records law to pay legal fees for those who sue for records, and two-thirds of them say that finalists for major state and university positions should be made public, a survey of the candidates shows.
Reporters from The News & Observer, The Charlotte
Observer, The News & Record of Greensboro, The Winston-Salem Journal and
the Wilson Daily Times interviewed 40 candidates who have filed for statewide
political office. The survey was produced for the North Carolina Open
Government Coalition.
"Open government is one issue that voters should consider, and it is vital," he said. "These interviews are part of an effort to help the public understand the importance of having easy access to government records and meetings."
The candidates for Council of State offices were asked 11 questions about open government laws. All interviews were conducted live; 40 of 42 candidates participated.
About three of four candidates had read the state's open government laws and 65 percent said that the law is clear in regard to public officials' responsibilities and duties.
The full survey results are available for review and downloading at www.ncopengov.org.

text: Abstract: During Christ's mortal ministry at Jerusalem, his teachings often drew upon the writings of Isaiah, Moses, and other prophets with whom his audience was familiar. On the other hand, Christ never seems to quote Nephi, Mosiah, or other Book of Mormon prophets to the Jews and their surrounding neighbors, despite being the ultimate source for their inspired writings. It is because of this apparent confinement to Old Testament sources that intertextual parallels between the words of Christ in Matthew 23–24 and the words of Samuel the Lamanite in Helaman 13–15 jump out as intriguing. This paper explores the intertextual relationship between these chapters in Helaman and Matthew and suggests that the parallels between these texts can be attributed to a common source available to both Samuel and Christ, the writings of the prophet Zenos.

I spent so much time editing that I completely forgot to prepare a post for today! So I'm winging it 🙂 It'll be another short one – partly because I forgot and partly because there's somehow still so much editing left to do!
If the prompt speaks to you feel free to borrow it – if you publish it please link back here so I can have a read! 🙂
This week's prompt chosen at random is…
Your favourite hiding place
I didn't want to hear their screaming, or their crying. Their accusations. So I ran to the playground, knowing no one would find me there even if they did come looking for me.
Two older kids were by the fence, smoking, but they paid no attention to me.
Quickly I made my way over to the hedge which circled around the whole playground. There were no gaps for people to enter or leave on this side, only a small hole between the branches and leafs perfect for me to squeeze through.
I went inside and walked all the way to the part where it wasn't as narrow. I could just about stand up, but twigs caught in my hair and scratched my skin nonetheless. No one could see me here, hidden away by the shrubs.
It was my safe place, and I would stay here until the screaming stopped.
