NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Even with nasty weather potentially on its way, one of the biggest parades in the run-up to Mardi Gras is set to roll.
The Krewe of Bacchus, led by Actor G.W. Bailey, was scheduled to roll at 5:15 Sunday evening, even though the National Weather Service said thunderstorms were likely from 3 to 6 p.m.
Parades sometimes roll early or on another day due to weather, but so far, not this one.
Bacchus spokesman Clark Brennan said, "We're rollin'."
Bailey co-stars on "Major Crimes" on TNT and is known for the "Police Academy" movies and the series "The Closer."
He also runs a nonprofit group that focuses on children being treated for cancer. Bailey invited more than two dozen from across the country to join him in Sunday's parade.

The Walrus Says
Among the wide range of talents, "Bad Habits" will make its world debut at the 20th annual talent show presented by the Jamestown Community Chorus. B.J. Whitehouse, chorus director, told us the group has been working hard at the arrangement of "Hail Holy Queen" from the film "Sister Act," starring Whoopi Goldberg. B.J. says, "It turns out that not only will they be singing and clapping and grooving to the music, but they have a costume committee, thus, the name "Bad Habits." So, when you see a dozen women in habits you're either in a road show of the "Sound of Music" or at the Jamestown Community Chorus talent show! So, get thee to a funnery."
Other talent will include the Jamestown Community Band; the Men's Chorus of Jamestown; Summer Song, whose members in the past have included Cheryl Rebecchi, Evelyn Rhodes, Terry Horsley, Joanne Taddei and others, and the Kathy Brownell Follies.
Frank Darigan and his hats return to the role of master of ceremonies and Janet Grant, the Chorus' stellar accompanist during the year, will also play for some of the show's acts.
Admission and raffle tickets will be available at the door.
Debra Vierra Murphy has B.J.'s poser correct. "You make everything groovy" is from "Wild Thing" by the Troggs.
When Shawn Ouellette was about 14, he took his first ride on the Jamestown-Newport ferry out of the Conanicut Marina and when he came ashore, he told his mom that that was what he wanted to do with his life. This summer, Shawn – now 23 and on an 8-week leave as third officer on the "APL Japan" – was back at the marina, this time running the ferry on her daily rounds. Since that first day on the launch, he has graduated from La Salle Academy and last year was awarded a degree in marine transportation at Texas A&M.
On Sept. 4, Shawn, who has lived on the island since he was 2 years old, will leave Narragansett Bay behind and travel to New York Harbor to rejoin the "APL Japan" for a passage to Singapore. We asked him about his duties and his ship:
"She's a 66,000-ton, 905-foot container ship. Our ports of call are New York, Charleston, S.C, Norfolk, Va., Dubai, Sri Lanka and Singapore, in that order. The round trip is 56 days, with 18 days at sea underway in each direction. My term on the vessel is three round trips, with a "relief trip" (vacation in the middle of my contract, which I am on now). We sail east from our east coast across the Atlantic, through the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden (off of Somalia) and into the Indian Ocean, Persian Gulf and Malacca Straits. There are 22 people onboard the ship. My job is two-fold. While we are underway, I stand eight hours of watch on the bridge daily, as well as conduct any inspections of equipment that may be necessary. My watch is 0800-1200, and then 2000-2400. As the officer on watch, I am responsible for the safety of the vessel, the accurate and safe navigation of the ship, and any and all communications had with her. In port, I stand eight hours of cargo watch. This basically entails noting any important times in the operation (i.e., "first discharge: 1430"...) and ensuring that operation is conducted safely. Additionally, when we arrive and leave a dock, I am in charge of the line handling operation on the stern. I supervise a crew of four handling six lines and, again, there's an emphasis on ensuring the operation is carried out safely."
Shawn said he loves his job. "It's an absolute blast. Where else could I turn off my cell phone for 56 days. Then, come home on vacation and run the launch."
In nine years, he's fulfilled his dreams, and more.
Islander Kaitlin Morton-Bentley, formerly Morton-Ranney, urges Jamestowners to cross the bridge and visit the Newport Historical Society's newest exhibit, "Homespun to High Fashion" featuring late 18th century clothing. Kaitlin says, " I have been an intern with the Newport Historical Society this summer and worked on this exhibit with the rest of the talented staff. The gowns are beautiful and most have never been put on display before."
The exhibit is open Fridays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon through December in the restored Seventh Day Baptist Meeting House at 82 Touro St.
Kudos to the Newport Gulls as the franchise won the 2009 New England Collegiate Baseball League championship. There's a lot of great baseball to be seen at Cardines Field.
We note that our Congressional delegation will not be holding town meetings during its summer break. Shouldn't it be reporting back to its constituents?
In answer to Peter C. Pemantell's question, Barbara-Ann McIntosh says that the color of the old St. Mark church was brown shingles.
John A. Murphy writes, "The old Saint Mark church, being clad in weathered red cedar shingles, was basically a blackish-brown mix in color. It was an architecturally distinguished structure, having been designed by Bevins. It was quite handsome, and fit well within what some might call 'the Jamestown vernacular.' The new church is, of course, what it is. Someone very infl uential with the Bishop must have had a lot of buff colored bricks to sell, because many churches built in this Diocese in the 1950s and 60s are clad in that material."
This week's missive from Peter: What was the name of the nursing home on East Shore Road that was torn down years ago and who were the owners?
This poser from Justus C. Pease in Jarrat, Va. - This song topped the charts at the number two position on Jan. 28, 1984. The lyrics are, I don't know anymore, are the neighbors watch'in me, well is the mailman watchin' me. I don't feel safe anymore, oh what a mess, I wonder who's watchin' me, now who? The IRS?
A proofreader at one of our local newspapers was having a bad day - "Tonight, mostly cludy with a cance of showers and thunderstorms."
In reference to the controversial fishing pier on the Saunderstown side of the old Jamestown Bridge, if the state DOT had properly maintained it when the old structure came down, there would be people fishing on it today.
A Snapple moment: The only jointless bone in the body is in the throat.

A test of utter faith
November 20th, 2012 | Lauren Simms
Throughout the month of November, I've seen daily statuses on Facebook that share what people are thankful for. I haven't taken part like most have, but today, I have a yearning to join.
Today in my Frameworks course, my professor, Dr. Joy Qualls, started the class out with prayer. However, before prayer, she told our class about Brittany Sylvester. Brittany is an Evangel student and just so happens to be in my Frameworks class. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I see her smile and her joy that is made known.
Today, I found out that Brittany is very ill and has been for a couple months. I sat in class like normal and heard the story of a girl who smiles through her miserable pain — the pain she fights through and never makes known to the class.
As Dr. Qualls prayed, tears ran down her face as they did mine; my heart broke. Brittany is handling something bigger than I've ever had to deal with. Something bigger than I've ever had to face.
The things I complain about hold no comparison. So, here's my thankful status:
Day 19: I am thankful for all the things I take for granted, including my health. Thank you, Jesus, that I'm able to walk, hear, speak and see.
I don't know Brittany very well, but I know that she is a beautiful daughter of God. I know that she is hurting, as are her family and friends who care so much for her. I pray that God will heal her, and that He would show the doctors one of His impossible miracles.
I think of Matthew 11:28, "Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." I pray that as Brittany gives Jesus her biggest and her heaviest burden of illness, I pray that Jesus would completely heal her and give her rest. I pray that He would give her perfect health, so that she can speak of her test.
Because we all know that no testimony is complete without a test … a test of utter and divine faith.
Please join the Evangel University family in praying for Brittany Sylvester. You can follow her progress on the Facebook page: Pray for Brittany Sylvester and her family.

Family calls $22.5 million police settlement 'bittersweet'
Associated Press
The parents of a California woman who was raped and injured after Chicago police released her from custody in a troubled neighborhood despite her obvious mental problems said Thursday that a $22.5 million settlement with the city is a "bittersweet victory" that will help pay for her extensive continuing therapy.
The payout is the largest settlement for police misconduct in the city's history. It was approved Thursday by the city council at the same time as the settlement of another police abuse case, this one $10.25 million to a man who spent 26 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit.
After the council's action, Christina Eilman's mother and stepfather, Kathleen and Richard Paine, released their first public statement in years about the case, describing how the events had devastated their daughter's life.
"No amount of money will bring back the daughter we knew, the lovely young woman who was full of life and accepting of all people," the Paines said. "Her life was dramatically changed after she came to Chicago and found herself in the grasp of several insensitive and uncaring police officers and detention aides who humiliated her, directed cruel and insensitive comments toward her, ignored her desperate need for help and placed her in harm's way."
Eilman's federal lawsuit against the city was scheduled to go to trial next week. The family initially was seeking $100 million, but agreed to the lesser amount during extensive negotiations with the city.
Chicago Alderman Ed Burke says the city could have $80 million or more if the case had gone to trial.
Eilman was arrested at Midway International Airport in May 2006 because she was acting strangely and violently. Her parents phoned police from California asking them not to release the 21-year-old college student because she was bipolar.
Still, Eilman was released to fend for herself in a high-crime area of the city. She ended up in a public housing building, where a man raped her at knifepoint before she fell or was thrown from a seventh-story window.
Eilman's attorney, Jeffrey Singer, said that at the time the family filed the lawsuit, she was just coming out of a coma and was still hooked up to machines to feed her and keep her breathing.
"We thought that her medical expenses could be $1 million a year and her life expectancy was going to be close to 60 years at that time," Singer said.
But Eilman made a substantial recovery, and her ongoing care isn't expected to be nearly as costly, Singer said. He also explained that because a big chunk of the $22.5 million will be invested, the settlement amount could climb to $45 million or more.
Singer said Eilman has received various kinds of therapy over the years but, because she was reliant on public assistance for care, so it was limited.
That will all change now, he said.
"Christina will be able to have the gold standard of therapies that she's not had access to over the past 6½ years," Singer said. "Now she will be able to go to certain rehabilitation centers that are the kind you would want for your daughter to go to."
Singer said all Eilman's parents wanted was the best care for their daughter, "and by prolonging 6½ years, (the city) delayed their daughter getting access to the kind of care she really needed and could have really helped her," he said.
The second settlement approved Thursday was with Alton Logan, who will receive $10.25 million. He was among the victims of the city's notorious police torture scandal involving officers under former Lt. John Burge. Logan's award would be the biggest handed out in any case to stem from the investigation of the Burge unit, which framed suspects and tortured many into confessing.
Logan's eyes welled with tears Tuesday afternoon, after a city council committee approved the money. He said, "nothing, no amount of money will ever make up for the time I lost. ... I lost everything."

HANG TIME, Texas — Let's get back to talking about whether the Grizzlies should have let O.J. Mayo get away. Or talk about blowing that 27-point lead to the Clippers in the playoffs. Or Z-Bo's post game or Lionel Hollins' trademark grumpiness or anything else that happens on the court at the FedEx Forum.
As our good buddy and wonderful Commercial-Appeal columnist Geoff Calkins says, the one thing we shouldn't have to do anymore is talk about the Grizzlies leaving Memphis:
Never again will you have to listen to those who would tell you the team will be out of here in five years or ten. Never again will you have to wonder if a particularly thin Tuesday crowd is the beginning of the end.
Robert Pera is not moving the Grizzlies. Nobody is moving the Grizzlies.
"The team is not going anywhere," said Staley Cates. "That's the whole point."
Cates is one of a group of Memphians — others include Pitt Hyde, Duncan Williams, Ed Dobbs and Billy Orgel — who have reached a deal with Pera to buy between 30-35 percent of the team.
As part of the deal, Pera agreed to three provisions that will make it nearly impossible for the Grizzlies to move for at least 15 years:
If the Grizzlies were to leave Memphis, Pera would have to pay a $100 million penalty.
If Pera were to sell the team to someone who wanted to move it, the local owners would have the right to match the deal and buy the team themselves.
3) If Pera were to try and move the team himself, the local owners would have the right to buy the team at the current price.
All three provisions are in affect for the next 15 years. In other words: The Grizzlies ain't moving. Can we please never talk about that subject again? And can we please disregard the lunacy of any who would try and tell you that local owners haven't "stepped up?"
Let's get back to talking about the ribs at the Rendezvous or the shrimp and grits at Pearl's Oyster Bar or the Jungle Room at Graceland. The subject of the Grizzlies leaving town is now closed.

DEKALB — Northern Illinois football players threw oranges at the video screen last year when ESPN commentators said they weren't worth of their Orange Bowl selection.
What do you throw for the Fiesta Bowl?
A year ago, NIU didn't crack the BCS rankings until the penultimate tally. This year, the Huskies (7-0) made the first poll, coming in at No. 18.
"I didn't even know we were ranked this high until this morning," defensive end Perez Ashford said Tuesday. "My girlfriend told me."
That No. 18 ranking is one spot behind fellow outsider Fresno State (6-0), which squeaked out two early one-point home wins. A flood could help the Bulldogs steal a BCS berth from NIU; Fresno's Sept. 14 road game at the Pac-12's Colorado (3-3) was washed out, wiping out one of the Bulldogs' biggest hurdles. Fresno plays only one winning team (4-3 Wyoming) before a possible rematch against Boise State in the Mountain West title game. Fresno edged the Broncos 41-40 at home on Sept. 20.
Louisville dropped from No. 8 to No. 20 with last week's loss to Central Florida, which is huge for NIU and Fresno. If a non-automatic qualifier is ranked higher than an AQ champ (Louisville, at No. 20, is now the highest-ranked team in the American Athletic, formerly Big East), the best non-AQ team has to simply be ranked in the top 16 to go to a BCS bowl. If not, the Huskies or Bulldogs would have to crack the top 12.
That makes it likely that either NIU or Fresno will crack the BCS this year. That means the Fiesta Bowl, which has the last pick, and a possible date with Baylor, which has scored at least 69 points in five of its six games.
"We're really happy that we're getting this opportunity so early in the season," NIU offensive lineman Matt Krempel said. "We have to win out of course (but) if we keep doing the things we're supposed to do and the things we know we've got to do, we can reach our goal again."
BCS bowls were never supposed to be an NIU goal. Or even a Mid-American Conference one. When the Huskies rose to No. 10 in 2003 by starting 7-0 with wins over Maryland, Alabama and Iowa State, they ran into injuries, lost two MAC games and didn't go to any bowl at 10-2. Afterward, then-coach Joe Novak said he didn't think the Huskies ever had a BCS chance.
"We're just trying to make sure we don't fall into the same path and make sure we keep our head on straight and keep going the way that we have been and keep working hard," Krempel said.
The rules have been changed to make it easier for outsiders since then. NIU took advantage last year when it didn't even know it had a chance until a rash of upsets in the next-to-last weekend.
Now the Huskies — whose biggest obstacles are Ball State (7-1), Toledo (4-3) and the MAC title game — know they've got a shot early. But coach Rod Carey is downplaying that BCS ranking.
"The rankings, right now, I don't know what they mean other than we better go one game at a time," Carey said. "Before we were ranked No. 18, we had better have gone one game at a time, so it doesn't change us a whole lot. But it's nice."
It's nice to know that the Huskies are playing for more than a MAC title and just any bowl game; they are playing for a chance to play a top-10 team.
"Last year, everything worked out," safety Dechane Durante said. "We went to a BCS game, so we know if we take care of our job, the same thing (can) happen this year."

Cubs, Jones agree to three-year deal12/20/2005 9:12 PM ET
By Carrie Muskat / MLB.com
CHICAGO -- The Cubs have finally completed their outfield.
The Cubs announced Tuesday they have signed free agent Jacque Jones to a three-year, $16 million deal. Jones is expected to fill the vacant right field spot and join new center fielder Juan Pierre, acquired in a trade from Florida, and rookie left fielder Matt Murton. It would be a completely revamped outfield from the one that started Opening Day 2005 which included Todd Hollandsworth, Corey Patterson and Jeromy Burnitz.
"We like a lot of things about Jacque," Cubs general manager Jim Hendry said Tuesday in announcing the deal. "He's a very versatile guy. We were very intent on trying to get a left-handed hitter. He's very athletic, has some pop in his bat, an outstanding throwing arm. He's a versatile player and had a lot of upside in him."
Jones, 30, batted .249, hit 23 home runs and 22 doubles and drove in 73 runs in 142 games in 2005 for the Minnesota Twins. He isn't happy about some of the numbers.
"My main deal is to get my batting average back up," Jones said. "I haven't felt good about my average since '03. Two years, it went down. When I'm home, I'm sick about it, and can't stand it. I know I'm better than a .250 hitter. When I get my average back up, I think all those other things will come."
Such as home runs. Jones, Pierre and Murton don't appear to be much of a power threat.
"If you're a good hitter, I'm not worried about everybody being able to hit 40 home runs," Hendry said. "I think Jacque Jones is capable of hitting 25 plus home runs. Aramis [Ramirez], with a healthy year under his belt, can hit more than 30. [Michael] Barrett has a little pop as a catcher. I think we're more versatile, more athletic, I think we'll run a lot better and we'll play better defense."
With the addition of Pierre and Jones, the Cubs should be able to score more runs and not worry about hitting balls out of the ballpark. The team did rank second in the National League in home runs in 2005, slugging 194, but finished ninth in runs scored.
The left-handed Jones is a career .279 hitter and has played solely for the Twins. He has recorded 22 or more doubles every season, and is a career .281 hitter with runners in scoring position. He has played all three outfield spots, starting mostly in left. Jones did hit .300 in back-to-back seasons in 2002 and '03. What's been the reason for his recent drop off?
"It's just a combination of trying to do too much and putting too much pressure on myself to have an out of this world year," Jones said. "Hopefully, that's behind me and I can relax and go out and have fun again."
Hendry said his scouts felt Jones tried to carry the Twins, who had to deal with injuries to key players such as Torii Hunter and Shannon Stewart.
"[Jones'] batting average numbers were down but I think his overall production will rise," Hendry said. "He hits a lot of balls into the gap."
Jones also is patient at the plate, drawing a career-high 51 walks in 2005.
"I bring a lot of energy, I'm excited to play every day," Jones said. "Hopefully, the other guys can feed off that energy."
He had offers from other teams but chose the Cubs. Why?
"I just thought they had a good team. They had a lot of injuries last year," Jones said. "I always had a fondness in my heart for Dusty [Baker, the Cubs manager]. I told my parents that before I got out of the game, I wanted to play for him."
Minnesota did offer Jones arbitration, and by doing so will receive a compensation draft pick from the Cubs.
Jones is the fourth free agent signed by the Cubs this offseason. So far, Hendry has added relievers Scott Eyre and Bob Howry, and outfielder John Mabry, and traded for Pierre. Hendry said he likes the balance now in the Cubs' projected lineup.
Burnitz patrolled right field for the Cubs in 2005, the first year without Sammy Sosa since 1992. Burnitz batted .258 with 24 homers and 87 RBIs in 160 games and the team decided not to pick up his 2006 option of $7 million.
The next issue for Hendry to deal with is what to do with Patterson, who was being considered for right field. Patterson hit a disappointing .215 in 2005, and was demoted to Triple-A Iowa at the All-Star break to try to get back on track. A No. 1 draft pick in 1998, Patterson is arbitration eligible, and the Cubs tendered him a contract on Tuesday.
"I have a lot of fondness in my heart for Corey Patterson and I feel badly for what happened last year," Hendry said. "Not only did he fail, but he took it hard. I'll try to do what's best for the Cubs first, and what's best for Corey second. When [other teams] see he's tendered a contract, there will be even more interest in Corey."
Any other moves on the horizon for the Cubs?
"We're a long way from Opening Day," Hendry said.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Kevin Williamson says if you think his new CBS series, "Stalker," crosses a line, "change the channel."
He defended the show Thursday at the Television Critics Association summer press tour.
"Stalker" stars Dylan McDermott and Maggie Q as a pair of LAPD detectives investigating stalking cases.
Their work is based on the LAPD's Threat Management Unit, formed after the 1989 shooting death of actress Rebecca Schaeffer, who was killed by an obsessed fan on her doorstep.
The idea came about after Williamson himself had an "overzealous fan" that broke into his home.
Williamson admits he's "sort of ripping our stories from the headlines" but he's not trying to show "stylized violence."
"Stalker" will also focus on McDermott and Q's character's personal issues.
In the pilot, a man burns a woman alive in her car.
During the press panel, Williamson admitted the episode was especially scary, but joked he wanted the show to get picked up.
"This show is a hot button," said McDermott. "It's a very entertaining show and it's a scary show. Stalking is scary."
"Violence is really a byproduct of the story we're telling," added Q.
Williamson argued the show comes at a time when oversharing on social media is commonplace.
"We have too much access to each other and we put ourselves out there in a way ... 'Here, look at my children,' 'here's what I had for dinner,' 'here's the plate of food' ... you're encouraging the obsessive mind to consume that and consume you."

Getting sick sucks. Catching a bug during the holidays sucks even more. Sick people are around us all the time. Some might be mere carriers, while others might already be sick even though they aren't exhibiting any symptoms just yet. If you want to minimize the odds of bumping into someone who has a cold or is down with the flu, then you might want to check out SickWeather before you leave the house.
SickWeather's advanced logarithm analyzes posts and status updates by users on social media networks like Facebook and Twitter and checks for any mention of illness or sickness. It takes note of the places where these illnesses or sicknesses are mentioned and flags these locations down on the map. Alternatively, you can also search by specific illnesses on the map to see which sites are relatively safe (cough and cold zones) and which sites are places that you should definitely avoid (chicken pox-infested areas.)

Poland's Janowicz withdraws from Hopman Cup
Dec. 18, 2013
PERTH, Australia (AP) — Wimbledon semifinalist Jerzy Janowicz has pulled out of the Poland team for this month's Hopman Cup with a foot injury.
Janowicz was to team with women's No.5 Agnieszka Radwanska at the annual international mixed team tournament in Perth, Australia, which serves as a warm-up for January's Australian Open. He will be replaced in the draw by Davis Cup teammate Grzegorz Panfil.
Janowicz said he injured his foot a couple of weeks ago and was hoping to be fit in time to play.
"Poland will be making its debut at the event and I wish Agnieszka the best of luck."
John Isner, Sloane Stephens, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Petra Kvitova, Sam Stosur and Bernard Tomic are among the field for this year's tournament from Dec. 28 to Jan. 4.

The children were dressed mostly casual for their spring picture day. More formal photos are taken in the fall.
FALL RIVER — "Hello Princess," photographer Sharon Arruda said to the little girl — dressed in a red top, jeans and black boots that came to just below her knees — when it was her turn to step up for Hoyle Elementary School's spring picture day.
Arruda of Lifetouch Photography patted down the girl's bangs and maneuvered the barrette holding back her shoulder length light brown hair until it was just so. She adjusted the table and crossed the child's arms.
"Gorgeous," Arruda said. "All set princess? Say 'stinky.'"
When the little girl smiled at the choice word, Arruda snapped the picture and was on to the next child.
The children from each kindergarten to second grade classroom came into the gymnasium and formed a haphazard line. The children sat on the floor and chatted, clapped, and played as quiet as one can at that age.
Second graders Erica Baxter, 7, and Damien Caetano, 8, sat on a bench side-by-side when their photos were complete. They may have been a couple, but Caetano would only admit that they were "very, very close."
Caetano wore a name brand designer white dress shirt with thin red and blue stripes.
"My mom chose my shirt," Caetano said. "My favorite is a black and blue vest."
"She said it was ugly," said Caetano, gesturing toward Baxter. "I never take her advice."
"You didn't wear it," Baxter said.
"It wasn't washed," Caetano quipped.
Baxter swung her legs and talked about acting in some local plays. The girl wore a red plaid blouse with silver threading.
"It's one of my favorite shirts," Baxter said. "Me and my dad were rushing. I only had seven minutes to get ready."
The children were dressed mostly casual for their spring picture day. More formal photos are taken in the fall. Some of the kids, however, decided picture day was still an occasion to veer away from their regular school wardrobe.
Brady Watkinson, 8, wore a white dress shirt and tie beneath a head of thick blond hair.
"I wore it for catechism when I did my first reconciliation," Watkinson said. "I like it."
Sophie Genereux, 6, made a last minute decision for that day's outfit. "I was going to wear black, but I couldn't because last year I wore something black."
Lillyana McGrath, 6, fiddled and yanked at the tie that kept her red top snug at the waist.
"I don't like it," McGrath said.
First grade teacher Matthew Conway was patient with the children as they slid around on the gym floor.
"She made me say 'smelly,'" one little girl said and laughed after her photo was taken.
"I had to say 'smelly puppies,'" a boy said.
Conway listened and kept an eye on the children. He said they spoke about picture day in the classroom and it was an exciting day for the kids.
"It's going to create a lasting memory," Conway said. "It's something special for the sake of doing something special."
Carmine Puniello, 6, wore a green and white striped shirt.
"My mom gave me some shirts to choose to wear," Puniello said. "I like green, but my favorite is orange."
Jordynne LeBlanc, 7, wasn't very interested in why she chose the flowered Tshirt she wore for picture day. Lunch was on her mind.
"I'm having French toast tomorrow," LeBlanc said. "Today, I have macaroni and cheese."

The upcoming version of xorg-server will have a lot of workarounds and patches removed. Doing so, the package becomes easier to understand, as even its maintainer has no idea what is happening anymore. When upgrading to xorg-server-1.6, you will see these file conflicts on most systems:
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting files)
xorg-server: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libdri.so exists in filesystem
xorg-server: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so exists in filesystem
It's safe and advised to overwrite these files. The symlinks were previously created from post_install by the xorg-server and nvidia-utils packages. It is advised to install xorg-server first by using "pacman -Sf xorg-server", after which you can upgrade the rest of your system.
This release of xorg-server requires a rebuild of all video and input drivers. Older drivers will fail to load with an ABI mismatch. Drivers in our repositories will receive an update to match the xorg-server ABI.
Nvidia has updated their latest drivers with support for this version of xorg-server. AMD does not support xorg-server-1.6 yet in their Catalyst drivers. AMD users are advised to switch to the xf86-video-ati or xf86-video-radeonhd drivers instead, or keep any X.Org related updates on hold via IgnorePkg in pacman.conf. This can be done by putting xorg-server in IgnorePkg in pacman.conf. All other updates should have conflicts set, so it will be clear which additional packages should be added to the IgnorePkg list on your system. Note that there will be no support for older versions of xorg-server when this version moves to extra.
How long we can expect it will remain in testing?
I know that generally it depends on how many troubles it will bring. But I'd like to know some predictions (a week, a month, a half of a year...)
Given we are not waiting for AMD to release drivers for this xorg update, I'd expect it to only be in testing for a short time (think weeks not months). But it all depends on what issues users run into.
is the nvidia driver in testing compatible with xorg-server 1.6?
Acer Aspire V5-573P Antergos KDE
yes it is. At least the nvidia one; I couldn't test the legacy drivers.
Xf86-video-ati works great with xorg-server 1.6 as I can see myself here.
guys i cannot see the xorg-server in testing is it my mirror? (thought i used the main one)
Acer Aspire V5-573P Antergos KDE
It will be there soon. Jan was getting the announcement out first so people were prepared. Also, try not to use the ftp.archlinux.org mirror as this uses a lot of resources for us.
Working fine here with the new nvidia-96xx.
It seems disabling hotplugging isn't working anymore and i have to run hal/dbus now to get my keyboard and mouse working, anyone else have this problem yet?

*EDIT* Replaced Nvidia GTX 570 for a AMD Radeon R9 290, and added an extra SSD 180GB
Note that DRI2 works only with UXA, not with EXA or XAA.
Note2: UXA is still experimental, though I haven't noticed issues with it yet.
UXA works, though EXA seems to be faster, especially in 3D -- 2D performance (gtkperf) seems comparable with UXA and EXA (at least on my Intel 945GME). All works great, by the way
May I just say: Thank you!
Finally my intel card is working again.
Here it seems UXA is better than EXA cause the frame rate doesn't drop in 3d-mode. Everything smooth.
Xf86-video-ati works great with xorg-server 1.6 as I can see myself here.
Same here, absolutely no problems so far Didn't have to change anything for the new X

Can you post your xorg.conf because i have the same card and very low performance with this update. Only 500 fps on glxgears.
Excuse my poor English.
I tried, but I'm back to old packages again (xorg 1.4 + i810 driver). With mesa 7.3 + intel 2.6, 3D is basically useless on my Intel 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML (rev 03). According to our beloved glxgears, I get one fourth of the possible framerate with this new stack compared to the old one... and desktop effects hurt the eyes.
http://counter.li.org/ - Registered User # 286669 | My AUR Packages | Arch Linux Installation on a Thinkpad X60
I have updated xorg-server and I have replaced catalyst driver with xf86-video-ati. Command "sudo hwd -x" got:
Testing: kernel (2.6.28-ARCH) supports uevents
Please wait...
No Xserver installed!!
What can I do?
Use X -configure to get an initial xorg.conf.
Updated [testing] -> working fine here with Slim, Xfce and xf86-video-mach64; "Generic Event Extension" errors are finally gone

You know that glxgears is not a real benchmark?
I have a 965GM chip and my xorg.conf contains only a line for UXA which is maybe interesting for you:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
VendorName "Intel Corporation"
BoardName "Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"
Option "FramebufferCompression" "true"
As long as you can use desktop effects smoothly and maybe gaming is fine, why bother about glxgears frame rate?
my results on i915:
edited - updated results on next page.
@dcrabs: I think there's more to this than the UXA line (modules, compositing?). Can you please post your whole xorg.conf if things are working ok for you?
Last edited by karabaja4 (2009-03-03 19:02:28)
zenite.io - create a MongoDB, PostgreSQL or MariaDB database on a dedicated SSD server.
Because on my comp, low glxgears frame rate = bad performance on real apps.
Ok, i went to my bios and changed memory management to DMVT and Maximum DMVT, I put UXA on my xorg.conf and performance was better, but still a little slow on composite and mupenplus give me 3 fps. I have dri2 and is cool but i have this bug (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/x … 44044.html) alredy solved on git. The best thing was a noticiable low memory consumption of X process. I hope 2.6.29 kernel fix these problems.
Excuse my poor English.

Not that I'm going to snatch up a new moderator right away, but if you're interested, let me know in this topic. You must...
1) be a highly-respected member
2) have no history of suspensions or bans
3) be an active member across the board
There will be instances where I will not select a member based on the fact that I would rather have that member as a full-time poster, and not having any responsibilities as a moderator. If you meet the criteria and are not selected, this is possibly why.
Moderating TLN is not something you get paid for, and it's not a privilege. The only extras you'll have? A staff forum. While it's not difficult, you'll be held to higher expectations as a member of the community, and you'll be expected to make calls against any member, regardless of your relationship with him/her.
The staff will be evaluated, and in some instances, rebooted...and a new set of guidelines will be written for TLN. The moderating team will include fido, netlord and Game, with possibly two new additions by summer. The Contributor and Analyst groups may be filled as well (though not a top priority).
If you want in, raise your hand.

Kenyan FA president Sam Nyamweya has revealed Manchester United and Arsenal transfer target Victor Wanyama is set to join 'one of the two biggest clubs in the world', according to the Manchester Evening News.
United have scouted the Kenyan international on several occasions - the report claims Sir Alex Ferguson's brother, Martin, has personally watched Wanyama in action for Celtic more than once - and the Premier League leaders are thought to be weighing up a late transfer window swoop for the midfielder.
Ferguson ran the rule over Wanyama last weekend, taking the trip up to Parkhead to watch him in action against Dundee United.
But Arsenal have also been credited with an interest in the defensive midfielder.
Celtic signed Wanyama for just £900,000 from Belgian club Beerschot back in 2011, but his value has gone through the roof since joining the Scottish champions.
Neil Lennon's side are desperate to keep hold of their key midfielder past the close of the transfer window, but the Kenyan FA President thinks the £10m-rated star could be leaving Celtic pretty soon.
"Wanyama will soon be joining one of the big two clubs in the world," said Nyamweya. "It is an exciting moment for us, which means that Kenya is a powerhouse in football."
Celtic face Juventus in the last-16 of the Champions League, while Arsenal take on Bayern Munich and Manchester United battle Real Madrid.
It's a competition that handed Wanyama his first big break - a couple of huge performances against Barcelona in the Champions League group stage last year brought him to the attention of Europe's big clubs.
His goal at Parkhead helped Celtic to a famous 2-1 win over the Catalan giants, while his colossal performance at the Nou Camp drew many admirers.
A physically imposing, ball-winning midfielder, the Kenyan star would be expected to adapt well to the rigours of the Premier League, should Arsenal or United make a move before Thursday's deadline.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — A massive fire in Haiti's capital has ravaged a portion of a popular marketplace where hundreds of vendors sold their wares.
Police spokesman Frantz Lerebours said Saturday that dozens of stalls at the Port Market in Port-au-Prince were burned to the ground and that few items were recovered. He said authorities are investigating what caused the fire late Friday.
He says there are no reports of deaths or injuries.
The same market was destroyed in April 2010 just months after a devastating earthquake killed an estimated 300,000 people and left hundreds of thousands more homeless. Vendors at that time said the fire was politically motivated, although police never determined the cause.

Main dishes, such as fried chicken, cold-cut subs, hamburgers and hot dogs, tend to be high in sodium and fat. A few substitutions can make your entrées just as tasty and convenient while reducing calories and fat.
Choose instead:
•Rotisserie chicken: Pick up one at the store or roast your own and cut it into pieces or slice at the picnic site. Just make sure to remove the skin to avoid excess calories and fat.
•Low-sodium lunch meats and cheeses: Read labels or ask at the deli for salt-free or low-sodium varieties. Aim for no more than 400 mg of sodium per serving of lunch meat. Use low-sodium whole-wheat bread and plenty of fresh vegetable toppings. If possible, opt for fresh meats that are naturally low in sodium.
•Lean hamburgers or turkey burgers: If you plan to grill at your picnic, choose at least 90 percent lean beef. As an alternative, consider making lean turkey burgers and enhancing their flavor with spices, herbs or a small amount of Worcestershire sauce.
Heavy side dishes
For many people, go-to picnic side dishes are chips, macaroni salad and potato salad, which tend to be high in calories. With all the fresh produce around, it is easy to lighten up side dishes. If you can't live without the macaroni or potato salad, focus on portion control and limit serving size to no more than quarter cup or stick to one bite of each.
Choose instead:
•Fresh vegetables, such as carrots, celery, cucumbers and radishes. Try dipping them in hummus, or make your own dip with plain low-fat Greek yogurt and your choice of herbs and other seasonings.
•Build your own salad by using quinoa or whole-wheat pasta, fresh vegetables and a vinaigrette dressing. Try making your own dressing with herbs, balsamic vinegar and a small amount of olive oil.
•Pack a fresh green salad to go. Wait until you arrive at the picnic site to dress the salad and limit dressing to 2 tablespoons.
Sugary drinks
Regular lemonade, sport drinks and sodas can pack on the calories and leave you still feeling hungry. Our bodies often confuse thirst for hunger, so staying well-hydrated can also help us to avoid overeating. It is especially important when spending time outdoors to stay well-hydrated.
Choose instead:
•Water, is the beverage of choice. If you don't like plain water, try adding a squeeze of lemon or lime juice or fresh mint sprigs for more flavor.
•Iced black or green tea. Just brew the tea and chill in the refrigerator until you are ready to go.
•Try sparkling water with a splash of juice or sugar-free flavor mix to make your own quick and refreshing beverage.
Calorie-laden desserts
Brownies, cookies, cakes and pies are often part of the picnic spread. With so much fresh produce around this time of year, why fill up on high-calorie baked goods?
Choose instead:
•In-season produce from the farmers' market. Right now, strawberries are available, but soon, the choices will expand. In the coming months, you'll find fresh local blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, plums, cherries, cantaloupes and my favorite, peaches.
•Try a slice of angel food cake topped with fresh berries.
To make the most of your picnic add some physical activity. Get your friends and family together and toss around a football or toss around a Frisbee after the meal to spend quality time together and burn extra calories.

Let's think about this nature vs. nurture controversy in entrepreneurship. Is entrepreneurship something you're born with or something you learn? Can we really teach entrepreneurship?
If you're reading this you're probably teaching entrepreneurship somewhere, and you're probably also an entrepreneur. One thing I've learned in two years of work with NACCE is that most of us who teach entrepreneurship are also entrepreneurs. I've met you at the conferences. We've talked. Like me, you've had your years in the front lines of entrepreneurship, starting your business, running your business, and dealing with the real world. And now you take the time to teach others.
Me too; I've taught entrepreneurship to undergrads, 14 three-credit courses in 11 years. I also started a business that's 25 years old with 44 employees, multi-million-dollar sales, no outside investment, and no debt. I was a co-founder of one that went public before its fourth birthday. And I have a Stanford MBA degree.
Valuing An Entrepreneur's Business Education
The value of my business school experience was in what I learned, not what I earned. The value wasn't salary. Like so many MBAs do, I recruited into the wrong job out of business school, and I didn't stay, so I couldn't pretend the MBA degree helped me make a higher salary as an employee. I went back to the consulting firm I'd worked with before the degree, and left to go on my own a couple of years later. So my employability and post-MBA salary power was a moot point.
The value wasn't entrepreneurship. School didn't make me an entrepreneur. I was at business school before entrepreneurship was fashionable. Stanford had one course called Small Business Management, which, fortunately, was about developing a business plan, starting a company, and getting venture capital. That course was exciting, the idea of my own business was exciting, and I learned a lot about the process and the plan; but it was just one course.
The value was what I learned about the nuts and bolts of doing business. I had been a journalist. Business school taught me the basics of accounting, finance, cash flow, organizational theory, leadership theory, marketing, and operations. That knowledge gave me the confidence to go ahead on my own. I felt like I knew enough about business basics to understand how to run things myself.
What We Can and Can't Teach
So, going from that life experience into the nature-vs-nurture in entrepreneurship question, I say 1.) there is never going to be a definitive answer to that question. 2.) The best guess is that it's a mix of both, and it depends a lot on the specific case. 3.) Teaching entrepreneurship is valuable regardless of how you answer that question. In all logical cases – the nature, the nurture, or both – teaching entrepreneurship is valuable.
Take the first case: let's assume for a bit that entrepreneurship is in fact something in the entrepreneur's nature. Let's say it's like jumping off of a bridge and some people will do it and some people won't. Even if that's the case – and I'm not saying it is – then teaching entrepreneurship won't influence whether or not they jump, but we can still teach them about what jumping means, how to aim and target the jump, and what jumping has been like for other people. We can give them skills that will help them jump correctly. We can give them skills that will help them understand the dangers, and avoid the avoidable risks. We can give them tools that will help them see – or make an educated guess about – what's underneath the surface of the water. And that means that we teach them about startups and the variety of startups. We teach them how some startups get investment and others bootstrap. We teach them how to project sales, costs, expenses, profits, balance, and cash flow. We teach them how to focus on their business identity and their market needs to make strategy. We teach them how to develop a business plan suitable to real needs – formal or not, depending on the situation. We teach them about finding professionals and managing administration, and so on. All of that helps those who are the born entrepreneurs do it better. We help entrepreneurs to succeed.
Now let's take the second case: maybe it's all nurture, so that we can teach people to be entrepreneurs. The logical conclusion of that assumption would be the same teaching topics as with the previous assumption, but, I suppose, with more hope of having an influence. Does that make sense? Do you agree?
And then there's the third case, in which entrepreneurship is a mix of nature and nurture, in varying degrees, depending on the specifics. I think you guess my suggestion: that in that case, too, we teach people about entrepreneurship process and business management because that helps them succeed.
My conclusion is that we should get on with our teaching, and make sure we're giving the people who want it more knowledge about starting and running a business.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Pay-TV operator Sky Deutschland has agreed a deal to make available top-flight German soccer matches to Deutsche Telekom clients, tapping into the telecom operator's subscriber base.
Deutsche Telekom has been showing Bundesliga matches on its Entertain internet TV platform but lost the broadcast rights to Sky in an auction last year.
The agreement announced on Friday, gives Sky access to Entertain's 1.9 million customers and will force subscribers to the platform's Bundesliga package - called "Liga Total" - to switch to Sky contracts from the 2014/15 season.
Sky expects a "good portion" of Telekom's 190,000 "Liga Total" subscribers to sign new contracts by the end of the 2013/14 season, Sky Chief Executive Brian Sullivan told journalists during a conference call.
Sky currently has about 3.2 million subscribers.
Shares in Sky Deutschland, part-owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, rose to a 3.5-year high on news of the deal and were up 1.9 percent at 4.44 euros by 6.34 a.m. ET.
"Sky has improved its market position significantly. Especially the possible cross-selling of the Sport (pay-TV subscription) package including Champions League will be earnings accretive," DZ Bank analyst Harald Heider said.
Telekom, whose shares rose 0.5 percent to 8.80 euros, did not say how much it was paying Sky.
The loss-making pay-TV firm is shelling out a total of 485.7 million euros ($636 million) per season for cable, satellite and internet TV rights together.
Sullivan said the deal with Telekom would have no impact on Sky's outlook for this year, which sees the company returning to core operating profit.
Germany's Bundesliga matches draw an average television audience of about 18 million people, only about a sixth of the U.S. Super Bowl's viewership but still representing almost a quarter of soccer-crazy Germany's population.
The agreement between Telekom and Sky will run until mid-2017 and also allows Telekom customers to subscribe to Sky's other packages offering further sport, film and high-definition (HD) channels.
($1=0.7636 euros)

Carl's Jr commercials feature obnoxious portions and combinations of food that are merely ideological in intent. Nobody would seriously eat a double six-dollar burger with bacon and guac, but they're advertised anyway. The goal is to affirm the macho, guy-like, over-the-top, gonzo style that currently defines American masculinity. Other examples include raised pick-up trucks, Calvin peeing stickers, and driving like an asshole.
There's no way that totally bangable chick riding the mechanical bull in that Carl's Jr commercial could eat one of those burgers and still have such an incredibly hot ass.

Who's Got Next? A Recruiting Notebook…Posted by Josh Paunil on April 11th, 2011
Who's Got Next? is a weekly column by Josh Paunil, the RTC recruiting guru. We encourage you to check out his website dedicated solely to college basketball recruiting, National Recruiting Spotlight, for more detailed recruiting information. Each week he will bring you an overview of what's going on in the complex world of recruiting, from who is signing where among the seniors to who the hot prospects are in the lower levels of the sport. If you have any suggestions as to areas we're missing, please let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com.
With this past week full of events such as the All-American Championship, Nike Hoop Summit and Nike EYBL that displayed top high school talent, there were a lot of chances to watch, analyze and talk to some of the best high school basketball players in the country of all grade levels. We were able to watch more than half of the top-50 prospects in both the classes of 2011 and 2012, and saw great match-ups such as the two best guards in the class of 2012 in Rodney Purvis (#9 – Louisville) and Ricardo Ledo (#10) going at it in the EYBL. We also saw Anthony Davis (#4 – Kentucky) go up against one of the top international big men in Bismack Biyombo (Fuenlabrada, Spain) in the Hoop Summit and two class of 2011 top-five point guards in Josiah Turner (#10 – Arizona) and B.J. Young (#22 – Arkansas).
What We Learned
Rodney Purvis Elevates to Top Guard. Purvis clearly established himself as the best guard in his class during the EYBL as he out-played the second-best guard in Ledo, hit clutch shots and scored prolifically from everywhere on the court. He is a big-time scorer who can shoot the lights out from behind the arc or take it to the rim where he can finish through contact. He is also a good ballhandler and applies great pressure defense at times which results in turnovers for his opponents. Purvis is able to keep his opponents in front of him as well on defense and has good anticipation which results in steals and easy transition baskets on the other end. Expect him to move even further up the rankings since he has started to consistently get into the lane where he can finish or dump it off to a big man. Purvis is an elite level talent who will make an immediate impact for Louisville in a couple of years.
Anthony Davis Rises to #1 Player (coming soon). Like Purvis, Davis staked his claim as the best player at his position during the Hoop Summit. However, he went one step further and seized the title as the number one prospect in the country (our new rankings will be out next week). Saying Anthony Davis is versatile at 6'11 is an understatement. The former guard is a force down low as a tremendous shot-blocker and rebounder and is very good at guarding the perimeter against smaller players. He can also handle the ball well and is a deft passer. Additionally, he can score off the dribble and can play either with his back or facing the basket. He is a very tough match-up due to his versatility. His shooting is respectable and he is a dominant offensive rebounder which allows him to get a lot of easy putbacks. Davis' potential is unlimited and the sky is the limit for him, which is why he is the best player in his class. Look for Davis to dominate at Kentucky next year and to be an impact player in the NBA down the road.
A Duke Version of the Fab Five? The Fab Five documentary got a lot of press and media attention due to Jalen Rose's remarks and Grant Hill's response, but Duke-commit Rasheed Sulaimon took something else away from it. "I saw it and thought it would be a cool idea and I know Duke is recruiting [#5] Shabazz [Muhammad], [#19] L.J. [Rose] and [#15] Tony [Parker] hard so I thought why not put another one together," Sulaimon said when I asked him about it. L.J. Rose also had some remarks about Sulaimon's idea, "Him and Alex Murphy have been recruiting me, Shabazz [Muhammad] and Tony Parker hard. It would be fun, it would be a lot of fun." Parker also smiled at the thought of the idea, "It would be fun," he added.

Weed scientists in North Carolina are taking precautions to stop a weed so prolific that it forms a carpet in fields. Tropical spiderwort, a member of the dayflower family, so far has only been spotted in Wayne County, but North Carolina State University scientists are urging farmers to be on the lookout for this noxious weed that thrives in Roundup Ready systems.
In the past five years, tropical spiderwort has emerged as a major weed problem in cotton and peanuts in Georgia and Florida. "It's in four out of five counties in the Coastal Plain of Georgia," says Mike Burton, a North Carolina State University weed ecologist. "In North Carolina, we didn't notice it until after a sequence of Roundup Ready soybeans and cotton."
Tropical spiderwort is on the federal noxious weed list, and is therefore automatically on the noxious weed list in North Carolina. The North Carolina Department of Agriculture has funds to survey the extent of infestation in the state, Burton says, but not for eradication.
Above ground, the tropical spiderwort produces attractive flowers. But the noxious weed also produces flowers and seeds underground. "It's one of the most impressive flowering adaptations I've seen since the peanut," Burton says. Pieces of stems cut by disking can also re-root to form new plants, if not buried too deeply. Left alone, it can sprawl out and fill the space between the crop rows.
In North Carolina and Georgia, researchers are conducting trials on pre- and post-emergence herbicides looking for possible control strategies. They have found strategies that rely on post-emergence herbicides alone are ineffective because of herbicide resistance and because the weed continues to germinate late into the summer.
In North Carolina, however, a methyl bromide trial at 340 pounds per acre gave complete control, Burton says. "Our colleagues in Georgia also tell us they haven't seen tropical spiderwort become a problem in fields that have been treated with methyl bromide as part of a crop rotation with vegetables."
"Tropical spiderwort has emerged as a problem as producers have gone to more Roundup Ready systems," Burton says. "Fields that have one Roundup Ready crop after another are the ones where we're finding spiderwort problems."
Dayflower species, like tropical spiderwort, have flowers with a very short life — only a single morning — but each plant will produce several flowers per stem. The petals quickly decompose after blooming. They are monocot plants and have only one leaf when they emerge from the seed. Tropical spiderwort flowers have three petals: two blue or light purple petals and one smaller, white petal. Leaves of the tropical spiderwort are egg-shaped and about one and a half times longer than they are wide.
Tropical spiderwort has also been noted as a problem in agricultural production in Australia, where it grows through peanut canopies. Warm climates like those in the Southeast United States are nearly optimal for growth and reproduction of this troublesome weed.

PARIS (AP) — French police arrested six people Tuesday in northeastern France in a roundup of suspected jihadists who recently traveled to fight in Syria's civil war, the interior ministry said.
The sweep around dawn in Strasbourg came weeks after authorities announced a new push to prevent French militants from traveling to Syria, part of measures by many European governments to reduce the appeal of jihad.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said the six were suspected of participating in a jihadist network, and recently traveled to Syria — though he did not provide details.
In a brief statement at his ministry, Cazeneuve said the sweep "went down perfectly" and showed "the total determination of the government to fight with all its power against terrorism and the enlisting of youths in violent radicalization." The suspects were in police custody.
Cazeneuve didn't make any reference to a news report on Europe-1 radio earlier saying that the sweep involved a police investigation of 14 young men who had told their parents they were going on vacation in December but instead went to southern Turkey and eventually to Syria.
The minister said an investigating judge is handling the case, and declined to comment further. Contacted by The Associated Press, spokespeople for the national police and the Paris prosecutor's office — which handles terrorism cases across France — said they had no further information immediately.
Last month, French authorities announced a series of tough-love measures aimed to deter youths from joining the ranks of Islamic militants in Syria, including a system for suspicious parents to alert authorities and measures to strip passports from those suspected of wanting to be foreign fighters.
The government said then that nearly 300 French people were currently in Syria, 130 were in transit and 130 others had returned home after one or more tours there. Its 3-year-old civil war has left 150,000 dead and forced millions to flee their homes. Authorities fear they could return home with fighting skills and ambitions to carry out terror attacks.
"I'm often asked what happens to people who leave to wage jihad in Syria when they return to France," Cazeneuve said in his comments Tuesday. "It's simple: They're connected with a terrorist enterprise, arrested and handed over to justice."

Medicaid expansion: Who's really at fault?
Conservatives are understandably unhappy with the emerging legislative compromise that expands Medicaid in New Hampshire. Those looking for someone to blame should focus on the right people: Gov. Maggie Hassan and her Democratic enablers in the Legislature.
Some conservatives, egged on by purity-minded advocacy groups on the right, are shooting at Republicans in the state Senate, as though they are responsible. The Manchester City and Rockingham and Strafford County Republican committees unanimously passed resolutions opposing the deal last week. A liberty movement activist has cited the compromise as the reason why he intends to run against state GOP chair Jennifer Horn at the end of the year, which is a political nonsequitur. It's like blaming your team's third base coach when the other team makes a good catch in the outfield.
Gov. Hassan has made expanding the health insurance program for the poor one of her top priorities. She has the support of a pro-expansion Democratic majority in the State House. The only thing standing in her way has been the Republican caucus in the state Senate, which holds a slender 13-11 majority.
Not every member of that caucus is unalterably opposed to any expansion of Medicaid in any form, but collectively the GOP caucus has used its one-seat majority to fight Medicaid expansion as much and for as long as it could. They have managed to prevent Medicaid expansion from taking the shape of a government-run entitlement program. They have conditioned expansion on using private sector providers. They have inserted sunset clauses that will force future Legislatures to vote to continue the program when the federal government reneges on its funding promises.
The Republicans in the state Senate, and specifically state Senate President Chuck Morse and Majority Leader Jeb Bradley, have been the good guys in the battle. They deserve praise, not scorn, from conservatives for maximizing what little leverage they have to prevent an even worse Medicaid expansion from being enacted.
Monuments aren't built for those who stop worse outcomes, of course. Those who oppose the compromise would do well to put their energy into defeating the governor and some of the 11 pro-expansion Democratic senators, as well as electing a Republican majority to the House, in elections this fall.
Blaming Senate Republicans is misdirected and counterproductive.

This past week I visited the nursing home in Grant County and made a new friend named Mabel. Mabel is probably around ninety years old and she gets around in a wheelchair. She was embarrassed to smile in front of us because she thought her teeth needed some work. But nothing about Mabel needed any work at all.

Growing up is something all kids and teenagers want to do. Parents long for a day when their children grow up become self-sufficient, independent and have a hopeful future. Growing up from childhood to adulthood is a process. Part of the process of growing up is making mistakes, learning, struggling and overcoming. Growing up includes starting middle school, getting a drivers license, high school graduation, college graduation, marriage and on and on. Those are proud moments that can define our lives.
We human beings are incredibly quick to assume the worst. As teenagers, we throw tantrums and slam our bedroom doors when our parents ground us, forgetting that they only want the best for us. Having spent most of my college years involved in youth ministry, I have heard both teenage boys and teenage girls pull the "my parents hate me and don't get me" card. But I have also witnessed many parents tearfully lament after hearing their child say, "I hate you" for the first time. Usually, these words are uttered after a petty argument or misunderstanding.
