Three Team 9 Player Trade Rumor (TOR,IND,MEM)
LINK: http://www.bettingsportsreview.com/n...-and-grizzliesRumblings of trade rumours are coming out of the NBA for those teams now out of the post season. The news could get much more real for teams like the Pacers, Grizzlies and Raptors as a proposed 9 player trade could take place. Although just rumours one source has stated GM's of these teams have been in heavy talks. This proposed trade works out on paper with the required salaries balancing out and beneficial to all. This could be much more than a rumour!
This idea out of the woodworks has put forth a 3 team proposal involving the Indiana Pacers, Memphis Grizzlies and the Toronto Raptors. 9 players will be changing cities if the rumoured trade goes down.
The trade breaks down as follows;
To Indiana we would see OJ Mayo from Memphis, a player the Pacers have previously tried to trade for during the trade deadline as well as Xavier Henry the 12th pick of the 2010 draft. The Toronto Raptors would send Jose Manuel Calderon giving the pacers a veteran point guard who could again replace the departed TJ Ford.
The Memphis Grizzlies would receive Andrea Bargnani. Recently Bargnani stated on Italian broadcast of the playoffs his displeasure with how Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo ousted him out in his exit interview at the end of the season. The Grizz would also get Leandrinho Barbosa from the Raptors, along with the 10th overall pick of the 2010 draft; Paul George.
The Raptors would welcome a very much needed Rudy Gay, as well as James Posey and Dahntay Jones from Indiana. Rudy Gay would fit in perfect with this young, exciting, athletic core group of guys like J.Bayless, D.Derozan, J. Johnson, A. Johnson and E. Davis. Posey and Jones would be trade fillers with some possible up-side in Jones who was mainly signed to his current contract because of his defense which Toronto could use.
Trade rumor recap:
Trade to Memphis
Andrea Bargnani, Leandrinho Barbosa, , Paul George
Trade to Indiana
OJ Mayo, Xavier Henry, Jose Calderon
Trade to Toronto
Rudy Gay, James Posey, Dahntay Jones
Drops to knees and prays to the basketball gods this goes through. Imagine DD at the 2 and Gay at the 3. That would be sick. Dahntay Jones is crazy, too. I hope this goes thru. If this IS in fact true, maybe BC has an eye on a Big in the draft. Could be some magic. I like the fact that if possible, it may not affect the development of our young guys, too much. And remember, we still have Feb Trade Deadline, if some of these pieces don't work. As well as, it looks like BC's also trying to deepen the bench (Posey).

Breslow to start throwing program on Saturday
By Ian Browne / MLB.com
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Lefty reliever Craig Breslow, slowed this spring by weakness in his shoulder, will begin a throwing program on Saturday.
The program will start with work on flat ground and progress from there.
Is there still time for Breslow to build up in time to be on the Opening Day roster?
"As of today, yes," said manager John Farrell. "If we get further into camp, we'll have to adjust accordingly. Most importantly is that we respond to how he feels and not be totally attached to the date."
De La Rosa an early standout in camp
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Rubby De La Rosa will start the season in the Minor Leagues mainly due to the fact he is still rebuilding his arm strength after Tommy John surgery, but he clearly looks like a Major League pitcher, and it's fairly easy to envision he will help the Red Sox before the 2013 season ends.
De La Rosa looked in complete command on Friday night in his relief outing against the Pirates, allowing one hit over two scoreless innings and striking out two.
"I feel good. I feel very comfortable," De La Rosa said.
Though De La Rosa typically hits the mid 90s with his fastball, that is hardly what stands out about him.
"Most impressively is the feel for his secondary pitches, particularly his changeup," manager John Farrell said after the Red Sox's 5-2 win. "A couple of 3-2 counts, right-handed, left-handed, he's not only willing [to go to the secondary] but he goes to that pitch with confidence, and when you combine that with the power, it's really a rare combination.
"And just with two outings in Spring Training, he's not been afraid to go to any pitch in any count. It's been very encouraging the way he's thrown the baseball."
It's already evident why De La Rosa was viewed as the key piece who came back from the Dodgers in the blockbuster for Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett.
Former Red Sox ace Pedro Martinez has made De La Rosa a pet project during this Spring Training.
"I think the most important thing is he feels great physically," said Farrell. "He's been a student around [pitching coach] Juan [Nieves] and Pedro. He's a very good-looking young pitcher."
Farrell already sees a difference in Lester
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- It is only two Grapefruit League starts, but Red Sox manager John Farrell already sees signs that ace Jon Lester is positioning himself for a bounce-back season.
"When you look at the lower half in his delivery, he's working downhill much more consistently," Farrell said after the Red Sox's 5-2 win against the Pirates on Friday night. "If you look at video [contrasting] any time midseason last year 'till now, you'll notice a very different lead leg.
"That's been able to allow him to work from kind of a high to low type trajectory through the strike zone rather than collapsing on the backside and pushing the fastball through the zone. And that's what's allowed him to throw the ball down at the bottom of the zone."
Against the Pirates, Lester fired three innings of one-hit, shutout baseball, walking one and striking out two.
Lester doesn't dispute the notion that the return of Farrell -- his pitching coach from 2007-10 -- is comforting.
"Yeah, it's been good so far," said Lester. "It's nice having John here, just because of all the things that we worked on in previous years here. It's kind of weird that he remembers them all. He remembers all the little keys that stand out in my mind when we're trying to work on stuff. He's really helped Juan [Nieves] transition really nicely into so far a really good pitching coach."
Middlebrooks gets another day to rest wrist
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- After another day to think about it, manager John Farrell opted to wait until Saturday to re-insert third baseman Will Middlebrooks into the Red Sox's starting lineup.
Middlebrooks gave everyone a scare -- including himself - when he exited Wednesday night's game with discomfort in his right wrist, which he fractured last August.
It turned out to be nothing significant, perhaps just the breaking up of scar tissue when Middlebrooks took a check swing.
Farrell had planned on putting Middlebrooks back in the lineup for Friday night's game, but he decided to be more conservative.
"We just wanted to give him one more work day," said Farrell. "I think as he came out of that game, the way he felt, I think we're all best served by just another day of normal pregame, full BPs, on-field work, and right now, he's in the lineup [Saturday]."
Middlebrooks was still encouraged that the incident wound up being nothing more than a scare.
"I'm fine," Middlebrooks said. "No worries."
Meanwhile, left fielder Jonny Gomes was also out of the lineup for a second straight game after running into the wall in Sarasota on Wednesday. Gomes needed three stitches in his left kneecap.
"[He's] still probably another couple of days away," said Farrell. "We want to make sure that the laceration has a chance to start to close up and not prolong anything there. You talk to him, he wants to play tonight, but we're still in a day to day thing with him."
Buchholz set for Saturday debut against Twins
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Right-hander Clay Buchholz, a key to the Red Sox's starting rotation, will make his first Spring Training start on Saturday afternoon at 1:05 ET against the Twins.
Buchholz tweaked his right hamstring Feb. 12 during the club's first pitchers' fielding practice, which is why he was a little behind schedule.
The Red Sox need a little more consistency from Buchholz this season.
"[He needs] better command at the bottom of the zone," said manager John Farrell. "Games [I] watched early in the year, it looked like he had a little difficulty getting the ball down in the zone. That's where a lot of those home runs came from.
"As he got into his delivery and was a little more aggressive in the strike zone with his stuff and his location, that's where you saw the late action come in more consistently."
Buchholz incorporated a splitter into his repertoire last season, but the Red Sox don't want him to become too reliant on that pitch.
"He went to the split because he wasn't able to get his changeup down in the zone," Farrell said. "So it was a chance to keep his fingers on the ball, rather than to push it, and to finish with some downward action. I think by virtue of his challenges, he discovered another pitch, but we want to guard against having too many and by virtue of that sacrificing having three really defined and refined pitches."
Aceves has been 'model citizen' in camp
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- How has Alfredo Aceves been since an eye-raising incident earlier this spring when he didn't seem to generate the proper intensity while throwing batting practice?
"Like a model citizen," said manager John Farrell said. "His work has been good. He's got two innings [scheduled for Saturday]. He's been fine."
Those two innings for Aceves against the Twins will represent his last outing in camp before he departs for the World Baseball Classic, where he will pitch for Team Mexico.
Aceves has a personality that's a little quirkier than most, and Farrell isn't looking to suppress that.
"I think it's important for players to be themselves, and as long as being yourself doesn't start to take away from our team," said Farrell. "That's when conversations like that come into play, to understand that we are 25 people working in the same direction, and how you sacrifice in some ways to give to the team, that's a priority."
Aceves drew some praise on Monday, when he sat on the bench for the entire game after his two-inning start was over against the Rays. That isn't typical for veteran players in Spring Training.
"There's no denying his competitive nature," Farrell said. "There's no denying his passion for the game. That's clear. We're all individuals, and that's where we look to blend people from all walks into the clubhouse."
Brentz could see action with Red Sox this spring
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Although Bryce Brentz, who is ranked the Red Sox's No. 7 prospect by MLB.com, didn't get a formal invitation to Major League Spring Training after a hand-gun accident left him with a wounded leg, the outfielder still could see action in a big league uniform before the Grapefruit League season ends.
"We fully expect at some point in camp he'd be over in games here," said manager John Farrell. "We don't have the exact date, but we're hopeful that he would be back at full baseball activity and get into games on our side."
Brentz injured himself by accidentally shooting himself in the leg while he was cleaning his handgun. He has started baseball activities in recent days, according to Farrell.

Apple product fan and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres isn't above
poking a bit of fun at her gadgets of choice. On a clip Monday,
Ellen DeGeneres spoofed the iPhone commercials, showing that the
interface can at times be clunky with simple chores like
typing becoming
a headache.Apparently Apple wasn't very amused. In
a video Tuesday, Ellen said that Apple contacted her and was upset by
the fake commercial.Now you don't want to mess with Apple.
The company is more than willing to sue anybody -- asHTC
knows far too well. And the company has already shown
that it isn't a big fan of satire; in fact, it's App store developer
agreement has
anti-satire provisions in it.So in a long nervous
apology, Ellen says that she really loves Apple products and that
they're easy to use. She even personally apologizes to the old
Apple chief himself, Steve Jobs.The video of that apology
(which also contains the original faux commercial) can be found
here.Hopefully Apple accepts the forced apology and
doesn't sue. And hopefully someday they can learn to take a
joke. For a company that for years made
fun of its chief competitor, Microsoft, Apple seems to have
pretty thin skin.

Apple iPad Mini Review Roundup

The iPad mini is pretty impressive, but not easy on the pocket like most 7-inch tablets
The iPad's smaller sibling,
iPad mini
, was finally revealed last week in an effort to sneak Apple into the 7-inch tablet market -- and the reviews are in.
Here, we take a look at reviews by three tech news sites that were able to get their hands on a mini:
The Verge
The Specs
Before we dive into the reviews, lets take a peek at what the new mini is packing:
7.85-inch display
1024x768 resolution
Dual-core A5 processor
Lightning connector
5 MP rear-facing camera
1.2 MP front-facing camera
720p HD video
16GB, 32GB and 64GB storage options
10-hour battery life
Bluetooth 4.0
802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi (802.11n 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz)
4G LTE availability
The iPad mini starts at $329 for the 16GB version, $429 for the 32GB, and $529 for the 64GB. If you're looking to add 4G LTE to any of these, you can tack on another $130 to the price tag.
Those interested in buying a mini could pre-order starting last Friday. The Wi-Fi versions will ship November 2.
On to the Reviews!
The design of the iPad mini is likely the most popular topic, considering the main point of its existence is to offer a smaller, more mobile tablet. The mini is different from its larger iPad predecessors in that its back is made of anodized aluminum, and according to reviews, it looks and feels much different.
Joshua Topolsky of
The Verge
If the iPhone 5 is reminiscent of jewelry, the iPad mini is like a solidly made watch.
In fact, the iPhone 5 and the mini have a lot in common. They both share a metal housing (in silver or black) that's lean and smooth, with that reflective, chamfered edge that runs around the border of the display. The iPad mini's paint job is similar to the iPhone's, but smoother, and on the black version I tested has a glint of blue and purple to it in certain light. It looks dangerous, and it feels great.
Tim Stevens from
Apple wanted to be very clear at its product-packed iPad mini launch event that this isn't just a shrunken-down iPad. And, indeed, that starts with a very different case design. While the second, third and fourth generations of iPads have all been more or less indistinguishable, the iPad mini's anodized aluminum back looks entirely different. In fact, the whole thing looks a lot more like a blown-up fifth-generation iPod touch than a shrunken-down fourth-generation iPad.
However, Topolsky did mention that the wide form of the iPad mini feels kind of awkward in your hand (Stevens disagreed, saying it was quite comfortable to hold). Topolsky also didn't seem too keen on the fact that it only has 512MB of RAM and a "two-generations-old A5 CPU."
Stevens offered benchmark scores and performance figures:
Geekbench averages out at 751 and GLBench shows 24fps on the 2.5 Egypt HD benchmark. The SunSpider JavaScript benchmark completes in 1,426ms. These numbers pale in comparison to the new, fourth-gen iPad but we think that in day-to-day usage the relative lack of performance won't be as noticeable. Apps do load more slowly but most are still up and running within a second or two and when it comes to general web surfing tasks the iPad mini easily kept up with our taps and swipes. So, perhaps not the greatest performance in the Apple lineup.
The iPad mini isn't sporting the Retina display, but it didn't seem to bother reviewers. However, there were mentions of issues like the visibility of pixels.
Well for starters, it's a really good looking display in general terms. Apple is using the same treatment here as it does on the iPhone 5 and iPad, and it makes for a crystal-clear screen that seems to hover just a tiny bit beneath glass. Colors are vibrant and blacks are deep, and games, photos, and video look terrific. That's only half the story, however. There's no question that to the naked eye this screen does look lower in resolution than its nearest competition. Pixels are noticeable, especially in webpages, books, and when viewing email — and that can be distracting sometimes. Since Apple is the company that's gotten our eyes used to the hey-look-no-pixels trick of the Retina display, it's hard to take a step back and not notice.
No, this isn't Retina, but maintaining the same resolution as a 10-inch display shrunken down to 7.9 means a necessary boost in pixel density: 163ppi. That's a nice increase over the iPad 2's 132ppi, but it still falls short of the 264ppi of the fourth-generation iPad -- not to mention, the iPhone 5's 326dpi. Naturally, this means that text isn't anywhere near as sharp as on the newer iPads, but this is still a very nice-looking display.
As for the camera, Stevens notes that the iPad mini's is better than the iPad 2, but not better than the iPhone 5. Topolsky added that the iPad mini offers a better image than most newer smartphones:
As you may know, I'm not a fan of people taking photos with tablets. Just as with previous models I've tested, I find the act to be not only awkward, but embarrassing as well. The slightly more diminutive size of the iPad mini does make the experience slightly better, and its 5 megapixel backside camera is actually not terrible for general shots. In fact, its color tone and low light performance was better than what I've seen on many newer smartphones. It was sometimes difficult to get a clean image due to shakiness, but that has more to do with the odd physicality of taking a photo with a tablet than it does with the actual camera.
The reviewers agreed that the battery life is very competitive with other 7-inch tablets, and that the software is basically the same as a regular 9.7-inch iPad...just smaller. A few changes were made, however, such as the ability to reject unwanted touches near the sides of the screen, which helps keep your thumbs from making accidental touches in apps.
The verdict?
This isn't just an Apple tablet made to a budget. This isn't just a shrunken-down iPad. This is, in many ways, Apple's best tablet yet, an incredibly thin, remarkably light, obviously well-constructed device that offers phenomenal battery life. No, the performance doesn't match Apple's latest and yes, that display is a little lacking in resolution, but nothing else here will leave you wanting. At $329, this has a lot to offer over even Apple's more expensive tablets.
The iPad mini is an excellent tablet — but it's not a very cheap one. Whether that's by design, or due to market forces beyond Apple's control, I can't say for sure. I can't think of another company that cares as much about how its products are designed and built — or one that knows how to maximize a supply chain as skillfully — so something tells me it's no accident that this tablet isn't selling for $200. It doesn't feel like Apple is racing to some lowest-price bottom — rather it seems to be trying to raise the floor.

I'm getting really sick of this bullshit about the lord told me this and helped me do this from athletes. Whether you are a believer or non-believer, this statement from Josh Hamilton just wants to make you go up to him, punch him in the head and tell him to STFU.
Gee, Josh. Did he tell you to swing the bat hard too?I would tell y'all something, but y'all wouldn't believe me. The Lord told me it was going to happen before it happened. He said, "You hadn't hit a home run in a while. You're about to right now."
This is a great article that helps explain how I feel.
Now besides the fact that you beleive in God, jesus and all that or whether you don't.

Schilling's big-game record stands tall on Hall ballot
Righty compiled 11-2 postseason mark, won three World Series rings
By Ian Browne / MLB.com
BOSTON -- In Curt Schilling's first year of Hall of Fame eligibility, he matched the uniform number he wore throughout his career, taking home 38.8 percent of the votes.
Eventually, he might get the 75 percent he needs to join the exclusive fraternity that comprises the best of the best.
But Schilling, ever the realist, doesn't see it happening in 2014, his second time on the ballot. And for that matter, he's skeptical it will happen in 2015, either.
There are two pitchers on the 2014 ballot this season that Schilling views as shoe-ins: Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine.
And next season, two of the aces Schilling had the privilege to share a rotation with, Randy Johnson and Pedro Martinez, will be eligible. John Smoltz is also on his first ballot in 2015.
"I don't think I have a shot this year," Schilling said in a recent interview with MLB.com. "If I remember right, just about all the pitchers are first-ballot guys this year and next year. This year and next year, you have Maddux, RJ, Glavine, Pedro and Smoltz. And they are all first-ballot guys."
The results will be announced exclusively on MLB Network and simulcast on MLB.com live on Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET as part of a three-hour live show beginning at noon. On Thursday, MLB.com and MLB Network will air the news conferences featuring the electees live from New York at 11 a.m. ET.
Schilling's regular-season numbers -- 216-146, 3.46 ERA and 3,116 strikeouts -- make him a bubble candidate for the Hall.
However, throw in what he did in October and it isn't hard to imagine Schilling one day in the middle of an induction ceremony in Cooperstown, N.Y. In 19 postseason starts, Schilling went 11-2 with a 2.23 ERA.
The righty pitched in the World Series four times (1993, 2001, 2004 and 2007) and for three different teams (the Phillies, Diamondbacks and Red Sox).
Three out of those four teams won it all, while the '93 Phillies were sent home on that walk-off homer by Toronto's Joe Carter.
"You know what, the fact that I was considered on that many ballots is cool," said Schilling. "Whether I believe [I belong] or what I think is irrelevant. I know what I did. At the end of the day, when I think about my career, the thing I always tell people that I wanted when I started was, I wanted to have a career where the 24 guys I suited up with, if their life depended on a win or a loss, who would they want to have the ball? I wanted to be that guy."
Schilling is 15th on baseball's all-time strikeouts list. Of the 14 men in front of him, the only ones who aren't Hall of Famers are Johnson, Roger Clemens, Maddux and Martinez.
Though Schilling fancies himself as a baseball historian, he said that his Hall of Fame candidacy isn't something that keeps him up at night.
"I played with Randy Johnson," said Schilling. "And Pedro wasn't at his best when I played with him, but he should be a unanimous choice. I played with a hobbling Dale Murphy. The guy was the most dominating player in the '80s for a while. I don't understand how he's not in the Hall. If it doesn't work out, I can look at some guys who don't have plaques and say, 'Wow, I'm all right.'"
Whether or not Schilling winds up in Cooperstown, he had a career filled with indelible moments.
Who could forget Game 6 of the 2004 American League Championship Series against the Yankees, when Schilling had a loose ankle tendon sewn back into place so he could pitch? With blood leaking through to his sock, he won that game, keeping the Red Sox alive in their quest to become the first team in history to recover from an 0-3 deficit in a postseason series.
"We literally were the most focused I'd ever been as a team, or I'd ever seen anyone as a team for that period of time," Schilling said. "And that's why we won."
Schilling went through the painful procedure again before Game 2 of the '04 World Series, and silenced a heavy-hitting Cardinals team. The Red Sox swept, winning their first World Series since 1918.
In 2001, he teamed with Johnson to dethrone the Yankees, who had won the World Series the three previous seasons.
"October gave you something you didn't have, from an adrenaline perspective. But I think there was a sense of accountability and responsibility I wanted," Schilling said. "I wanted everything to matter on me. I wanted that ... There's a couple of statistics or things I walked away from that I remember. And I know stats. I know my stats. I believe the number is five.
"I pitched in five win-or-go-home games. My team was 5-0 in those. I never lost a game that would end my team's season. Every game I took the ball, we won those games. I loved that."
Though Schilling's heroics for Philadelphia in '93 are overshadowed by what he did for Arizona and Boston, that's where his postseason lore started.
"I remember my first postseason game against Atlanta in '93. We weren't supposed to beat them," Schilling said. "Maddux and Smoltz and Glavine and [Steve] Avery. [Terry] Pendleton, [Ron] Gant. We were the scruffy dudes from Philly. And I went out there and struck out the first five hitters of the game. In five hitters, the entire momentum of the Series, I thought, changed. I realized what I was capable of doing by myself on the mound. I realized -- that's powerful."
While some players have fuzzy memories of their accomplishments, Schilling remembers everything down to the smallest detail.
"In the '93 World Series, we're down [in games], 3-1," Schilling said. "[The Blue Jays] scored 15 runs the night before; this offense had the top three hitters in the American League -- [John] Olerud, [Roberto] Alomar and [Paul] Molitor -- and we win [Game 5], 2-0. I learned in those games that, as a starting pitcher, it's just like being a quarterback. I can change everything based on my actions."
His peak, Schilling remembers clearly, was 2001.
"I still believe that the '01 postseason, those were the best 48 innings I ever threw," Schilling said. "I threw 305 innings that year, and my best 48 were at the end."
Not only craving the October spotlight, but thriving in it, is something that separated Schilling from a lot of others.
"I've talked to guys, great players, unbelievable players, Hall of Fame players who were teammates, who were terrified of October," Schilling said. "They viewed that as a way to screw up everything you did during the season. I was like, 'Wow, what a loser mentality that is.' You realize in life, that's exactly how life is. Fear is a motivator or a paralyzer -- it's one of the two. I was always motivated by it."

Friday, June 10, 2011 - Adam Piskat's massage
Adam Piskat's Massage
Adam Piskat is a very fit looking guy who we persuaded to come in for a massage. It was rather a hard sell I think, but eventually he agreed. He certainly looks very good as he strips off and climbs onto the massage table. The massage itself progresses quite well, until the introduction of the vibrator, whereupon Adam's pucker hole tightens inexorably, he clearly wasn't going to allow anything to go in there. So after a little teasing with ...
... more about Adam Piskat's Massage further in this newsletter
Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Pavol Zbynek, Ruslan Tarovsky and Ivan Cakovsky are three of the best models you could ever hope to see, and here they get together to give us a wonderful scene. It starts in the park, where Pavol and Ruslan Tarovsky have gone for some football practice. While the are there they meet Ivan, who is practising on his roller blades. Very soon they decide to go somewhere more discreet, and we next see them inside, where Ruslan Tarovsky seems to be sporting a huge erection in his shorts. It's not long before the other guys start to investigate that, and we get to view Ruslan Tarovsky's stiffy. Ivan and Pavol are no slouches with erections and soon they are hard too, as Ruslan Tarovsky drops to his knees and sucks them,in turns, and after a while, both at the same time. Then Ruslan Tarovsky lays down and Ivan climbs on top and starts kissing him, while Pavol seeks his entertainment at the other end, where two delectable asses are on display. Pavol pays them a lot of attention as he rims and fingers both holes, with some relish. Then it is time for more and we see a wonderful three way fuck, as Ivan plays piggy in the middle, He deep dicks Ruslan Tarovsky whilst Pavol does the same to him. It looks great as Ivan fucks Ruslan Tarovsky and in so doing works his ass on Pavol's dick. Pavol then fucks Ruslan Tarovsky, while Ivan feeds his rock hard cock into Ruslan Tarovsky's mouth. Soon there is a switch with Ivan fucking and Pavol being sucked. A final great change has Ivan straddling Ruslan Tarovsky, so both asses are available for more action from Pavol, who is happy to oblige. Then, fully satisified Ivan and Pavol squirt over Ruslan Tarovsky's face, before he shoots his own load. Goodness this is a wonderful scene, I have watched it repeatedly since we finished it.
Latest Updates Trailer
William Higgins Atelier Backstage Vlog
Our 'Coming Soon' is a threesome with three of our most erstwhile models, Dmitry, Pavol, and Ivan. Put it down in your calendar. It will be a good one.
You can also watch my Vlog for this Newsletter by clicking the video above or over at the Blog:
I just returned from a great BrokeCzechBoys shoot. Perhaps you'll remember my writing Dalibor Janek. He's 18. We did a BCB with him a couple of weeks ago and I asked him when was the first time he had sex? He replied that he'd never had sex. A VIRGIN! Well that got my interest. He did fine as a top with another guy. Today we brought him to have his cherry poppes by Petr Kristen. I asked him whether his 'position' had changed since the last shoot, and he replied, 'no changes.' Whoopee! Let me tell you, Dalibor is not longer a virgin and his cherry is no longer intact. He got it busted by Petr Kristen. Dalibor got super hot and erect during the sucking, and I had to warn Petr: "He has a hair trigger. So, be careful." We learned that after Dalibor was 'molested' during his solo shoot, a couple of strokes by Franky, and Dalibor was off to glory with no warning. Today, Dalibor got plowed by Petr's very big dick, and plowed, and plowed. What a way to lose one's cherry. Well, I had a good time. That's my favorite kind of shoot.
Miro is back from Tunisia where he broke a finger playing volleyball (or at least that's his story). Today he finally got some competent medical attention, and his finger will be in a cast for six weeks. Meanwhile, tonight is the third anniversary party of 'Kiss-Kiss-Bang-Bang' parties in Leipzig. Franky is on the fastest train smoking, making a bee-line for Leipzig.
Aida was kidnapped by Pavel and is on her way to Granny's for a three day weekend. I told Pavel: She always goes crazy when your, Luci or Marc come around. With me, when she returns home from a long stay, she just walks right past me, and seems to be saying 'where's the chow?' Pavel said, "Don't you know that kids always love their aunts and uncles more than their parents?" Good point. Because the aunts, uncles, and grandparents spoil them.
The Dutch TV crew, with the four cute guys is gone back to Holland. Their Czech fixer told me: "Enjoy the summer now in June. Because July and August are supposed to be cold and wet." Isn't that always the case? I've always said, "The hottest month of the year is always May." Not true this year. June is hotter. Hopefully, we'll have a warm summer where we can do some outdoor shooting. But that doesn't seem to be in the cards.
Be sure to have a look at our new Castings. My pick is Jirka Rypar. But I also particularly like Roland. He came dressed in a school boy uniform. I got inspired to do a spanking with him. Boris did the honors. Boris played the coach and Roland was late to practice. Gosh Boris put him thru his paces. The Mad Monk should pay special attention. He can learn a few new techniques from Boris. In fact, I know when Boris visited New York City, he went with the MM to Paddles, the spanking club, and really liked it. I guess you learn something every day, Boris has a real kinky side.
The warning for CzechGuysNextDoor tonight: High. We have a new Duty Bound plus two solo shoots.

On the PGA Tour, Ted Potter Jr. won the Greenbrier Classic in a three hole playoff over fellow FJ staffer Troy Kelly (DryJoys Tour). Potter, three off the lead with two holes to play, eagled the 600 plus yard par five seventeenth to get within one of the leader. The PGA Tour rookie, in FJ Icon, added another birdie on the par three finishing hole to take the clubhouse lead at 16 under par. Opting to watch the action unfold instead of staying loose on the range, Potter watched Kelly par his final two holes to tie him in the clubhouse.
With the playoff set, they headed to the par three 18th where both players exchanged pars. Moving to the seventeenth, Potter narrowly missed a short birdie putt that would of sealed the deal on Kelly's chances, but Potter calmly tapped in his par and they headed to the par three last for the third time today. This time Potter stuck one into a few feet and made the birdie putt for the win. This is Ted Potter Jr's first PGA Tour win.
CLICK HERE TO ENTER FJ WINS, YOU WIN for your chance to win FJ ICON just like Ted Potter Jr. used to win the Greenbrier Classic.
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Void where prohibited.
Open to US residents 18 years or older. Sweepstakes will begin at
12:01AM ET on 07/09/2012 and end 07/12/2012 at 11:59PM ET.
Now, moving to Paris for the European Tour's Alstom Open De France, where Marcel Siem put together a final round five under par 67 to outlast the field by one. Siem, in FJ Icon MyJoys and StaSof, started his day with a drive into a hazard but the German showed some grit, fighting back to save his par despite the errant opening shot. Marcel added five birdies and a single bogey to close out the field and win the Championship.
This is Siem's first victory since the 2004 Dunhill Championship, stating post round, "It means so much to me to win after that long stretch. It's all about
winning in the end and it puts so much pressure every time you don't win
and people start talking, you will never win again and stuff like that,
so it's very important for me."
On the LPGA Tour, Na Yeon Choi battled the long and tough Blackwolf Run U.S. Women's Open venue to win by four shots over fellow FJ player Amy Yang. Choi, in Women's DryJoys, was around the top of the leaderboard all week but a third round 65, the fifth lowest round in U.S. Women's Open history, catapulted her to the top field by six strokes. Shooting even par on the front nine, Choi tripled the tenth hole to give the other players an outside chance of catching her. She bounced back with birdies at 11, 15, and 16 to promptly slam the door on her competition and win the championship.
This is Choi's first major triumph and the win will moves her to second on the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings.

Arrests As Communications to Criminals in St. Louis, 1970, 1972-1982 (ICPSR 9998)
Principal Investigator(s): Kohfeld, Carol W.; Sprague, John
This data collection was designed to assess the deterrent effects over time of police sanctioning activity, specifically that of arrests. Arrest and crime report data were collected from the St. Louis Police Department and divided into two categories: all Uniform Crime Reporting Program Part I crime reports, including arrests, and Part I felony arrests. The police department also generated geographical "x" and "y" coordinates corresponding to the longitude and latitude where each crime and arrest took place. Part 1 of this collection contains data on all reports made to police regarding Part I felony crimes from 1970 to 1982 (excluding 1971). Parts 2-13 contain the yearly data that were concatenated into one file for Part 1. Variables in Parts 2-13 include offense code, census tract, police district, police area, city block, date of crime, time crime occurred, value of property taken, and "x" and "y" coordinates of crime and arrest locations. Part 14 contains data on all Part I felony arrests. Included is information on offense charged, the marital status, sex, and race of the person arrested, census tract of arrest, and "x" and "y" coordinates.

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop a nutritional anemia with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing a nutritional anemia. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Gender and Age
Women between puberty and menopause are at higher risk for iron deficiency anemia than men and women of other age groups. Infants and young children are at risk of iron deficiency anemia.
Pregnancy also places extra iron demands on women. A folic acid supplement is usually included in a standard prenatal vitamin. Check with your doctor. The supplement is recommended for every pregnant woman, as much to prevent neural tube defects in the baby as to guard against folic acid anemia in the mom.
Low levels of bleeding from the stomach are a side effect of aspirin and other pain medications, like ibuprofen and naproxen. The risk is highest for those who take the medication regularly for chronic conditions such as arthritis.
Medications used to reduce stomach acid (especially proton pump inhibitors) may decrease the absorption of iron. Other medications, such as the anti-folate drug, methotrexate, and some antibiotics, can also affect your risk of developing anemia.
Unusually poor diets, such as in alcohol use disorder, can increase the risk of folic acid deficiency anemia. In addition, excess consumption of tea or foods made from wheat may decrease the absorption of iron.
The diets of infants and young children can be deficient in iron. This may be due to too much cows milk (not iron rich), not enough iron rich foods, and picky eating.
Medical Conditions
Cancers, especially colon cancer, can cause slow leaking of blood within the body, which increases your risk of developing anemia. Many stomach and intestinal disorders may interfere with the absorption of iron, B 12 , or folate.
Lead poisoning in adults or children can also affect how the body uses iron.

Florida First to Completely Eliminate Paper Auto Titles
With just a few weeks away from a Jan. 1 deadline to comply, Florida will be the first state to completely eliminate printing paper vehicle titles, according to electronic lien and title service provider VINtek.
The Philadelphia-based firm said the $170 million Orlando Federal Credit Union is among the financial institutions that has already implemented the ELT technology.
According to Florida's Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, lenders must contract with an approved service provider for the ELT transition.
Among them are VINtek, American Security Insurance Co. in Duluth, Ga.; Auto Data Direct Inc. in Tallahassee, Fla.; Decision Dynamics Inc. in Lexington, S.C.; FDI in Sacramento, Calif.; and PDP Group Inc. in Hunt Valley, Md.
Lienholders are required to electronically transmit liens and lien satisfactions to the department, according to Florida House Bill 1223, which passed during the 2012 legislative session.
Participation is mandatory for lenders including credit unions. The exceptions are businesses and individual lienholders that are not typically involved in vehicle financing.
In August, VINtek announced that it is now the exclusive partner of LEVERAGE, the service corporation for the League of Southeastern Credit Unions.
The league represents 298 credit unions in Alabama and Florida.
In addition to Florida, Georgia also has a Jan. 1 deadline to comply with its own ELT rules.

It seemed at first like just another armed holdup of a roadside corn stand. Corn-seller Dusty Moore told police that he was innocently selling ears in a North Ogden parking lot when a Hispanic-looking man in his 30s approached, demanded some money (no word on whether he also wanted some corn) and shot Dusty in the back, according to the Ogden Standard-Examiner. Oddly enough, it was the second time Dustys corn stand had been hit by a gunman. Police went on a manhunt, residents locked their doors, and a private company planned a free concealed-weapons permit class at the public library to help folks protect themselves from the criminal or at least avoid shooting themselves in the back.
A week later, Moore admitted fabricating the story to save himself embarrassment: He had somehow shot himself in the back with his own gun, which he started carrying after the earlier robbery. Not surprising that hed arm himself, youd think. Except it turns out Dusty made up that robbery, too. No word on what motivated this corny tale.
Northern Las Vegas is like many Western burbs, a sprawling and homogenous zone of placelessness, where long, wide streets are lined with house after brand-new house, and almost 80 percent of the mortgages are underwater hard to picture in such a dry place. But underneath that suburban blandness lurks a wild heart, where street names like Bucking Bronco and Trotting Horse Road arent just nostalgic nods to a mythic past. That past lives on, thanks partly to Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins, who lives in and livens up that neighborhood.
In mid-August, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, one of Collins bulls escaped and ran rampant through the streets of northwest Las Vegas. Police shot the bull with a tranquilizer dart, but not until it charged a woman, sending her to the hospital with minor injuries. A cow also escaped, and was captured.
Collins got slapped with a misdemeanor, just as he did about six weeks earlier when he was shooting while drinking on his property. A stubborn tree resisted his chainsaw, reports the Las Vegas Sun, so the commish got mad and opened fire (apparently shooting at a wooden post, as well).
Collins, a Democrat, is running for re-election against a Republican and an Independent American, but the incidents apparently havent hurt his standing. In fact, they may have helped, judging by the sentiment of a commenter on the Review-Journal bull-incident article. Kerrie Heretic enthusiastically supported Collins and his cattles antics: This town has turned into an entire population of wusses ... most of the men here are a bunch of metrosexuals, who are more concerned with the kind of hair product they use than being real men. Collins, as near as we can tell, doesnt fret about his hair: He usually appears in a big straw cowboy hat.
Every town needs something to be proud of. Portland not only has its own television show, Portlandia, but also a toilet. A very special toilet: Portland, if the L.A. Times is to be believed, has revolutionized the public loo, creating a minimalist, solar-powered bathroom that boasts its own Facebook page. It supposedly solves the age-old problems of its kind, which, notes the Times, include graffiti, trash-can fires, furtive needle activity, commercial lovemaking, emergency baths, laundries for the homeless and more.
Im convinced Portland is the only city in the U.S., and maybe the world, that celebrates the opening of bathrooms, said a city commissioner at a toilet dedication ceremony, where students also reportedly sang Skip to my Lou.
It wouldnt be the West without a whimsical story about wildlife and humans snuggling up, would it? On Aug. 25, a crew fighting the Chips Fire, which has burned for more than a month in Northern California, stumbled across a bobcat kitten that had lost its way and its mother to the fire. The firefighters tried to walk away and let natural selection take over, but the baby cat, about the size of a domestic kitten, followed them, curling up on (their) boots and snuggling into (their) chaps every time they paused, reports the Sacramento Bee. Firefighters turned the kitten over to Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care for treatment.
Meanwhile, in Aspen, Colo., a couple of bears had to be chased away from the finish line of the third stage of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge as the riders climbed the mountains toward the resort town. Aspen police chalked up a whopping 292 bear-related calls in August, a record. While the Aspen bears didnt disrupt the bike race, the same cant be said for Canadas GranFondo Banff cycling event, which had to be rerouted due to bears feeding on the original course.

Bill Hayes Retiring From Verity Credit Union
After 23 years of serving as president/CEO of the $396 million, 26,020-member Verity Credit Union in Seattle, Bill Hayes plans to retire at the end of the year.
Verity CU is conducting a national search to replace Hayes.
"We will certainly miss Bill," wrote Verity Board Chair Daniel Strandy in a letter to members in the credit union's annual report. "Any employee will tell you that Bill is a down-to-earth, compassionate leader."
Strandy also said Hayes led the credit union with a strong and steady hand through many changes, difficult financial times and significant growth.
"Bill's legacy will live on for many years," Strandy wrote. "He is leaving the credit union on extremely solid ground."
"I could not have asked for a better career here at Verity Credit Union," wrote Hayes in his letter to members in the credit union's annual report. "The people I had the fortune to work with – members, our board, our staff, other credit union professional and communities – provided me with a rich and rewarding experience for over two decades."

Benjamin loves a good party, and he had been planning one for Valentine's Day since before we put away the Christmas tree. In January, he dictated his guest list: Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Jay… and soon after we discussed the importance of having Tootsie Roll Pops and red velvet cake.
The day of the party there were red streamers to hang and balloons to tape in place. Dishes to wash. A toilet to clean. Crowds at the store and crankiness among the boys at home — so much that I felt foolish for celebrating. How could I put the l-o-v-e banner on the China cabinet and invite people in when I felt my life was such a mess? How did my gift for my 5-year-old turn into a stressful burden?
So, I did what any reasonable mom would do. I put myself in time out. I snuck to the top of the stairs and sat there until I decided that I could celebrate even if things weren't perfect, that things like love and hope and joy were meant to stand in the midst of the mess. That they aren't a magical place that we arrive at but a choice we make all along the way. And if I couldn't choose hope and celebration over squabbling brothers and cobwebs, how would I ever choose hope when the real struggles hit? How could my feeble hope possibly anchor my soul?
I got downstairs in time to watch Benjamin arrange Little Hug Fruit Barrels in a circle around our heart candle and put the Swedish Fish in a dainty dish.
And smile.
And laugh.
And have a great party.
Thank you, all of you, for joining us for the 40 Days of Hope project. Each day during Lent, we'll share something about hope here — something that we pray inspires you or encourages you. We're also planning to share free journal pages for you to download, We don't quite have 40 yet, so if you'd like more information on submitting one, please click here.
Today's journal page was designed by Tanya Herrold, whom you may remember from an article she wrote on having a peaceful dwelling. Her father has been waiting for a liver transplant for more than four years, and frankly, his health is declining. He has been in the hospital for the last three weeks and the family would greatly appreciate your prayers. "My hope comes from God," she said. "The only option I have is to put my trust in Him."

Ever since it's inception, the Raptors have been an 'up n down' team. After a naturally slow start, some shrewd moves by Glen Grunwald in terms of trades, free agency and above all drafting(VC first and later CB), Raps. gained some respect around the league. As we all know Glen was later fired, the promising Babcock hired and before we knew it, was fired too. In came the so called saviour in BC. After living up to his reputation and the hype initially, he too couldn't keep things going. Raps. found themselves in a familiar losing position again.
Until the Gay trade there has been negativity and pessimism surrounding the team. While the acquisition of Gay has turned pessimism into optimism, it does not assure a consistent winner. Gay along with a strong supporting cast of Derozan, Lowry, Jonas, Amir, Ross, Andrea are a bunch of good players. With the addition of a couple of good pieces, this team is seemingly a winner for a long time to come. SEEMINGLY.
Raptor fans are all too familiar with this sort of promise and hope. The best remembered team of course would be the Vince led team that went to the second round of the play-offs and almost made the conference finals. The addition of Hakim O the following year pretty much had us Raptor fans feeling that ours would be the team to come out of the East. What followed was disappointment and a series of events and changes that none of us who followed Vince Carter and his teams success anticipated.
As always I feel optimistic and hopeful about this team that BC is building. As always I see reason for it as well. Will they be a consistent winner? What do you guys think? Are the Raps. finally on the road to consistent success? If so, why?

Members 1st Sends (Cash) Mob to Local Businesses
Members 1st Credit Union wants to help local businesses, so it's turned to the Mob.
That would be the Members 1st Cash Mob, in which social media are used to attract consumers to mom-and-pop businesses by rallying Facebook friends and others to show up there en masse.
The $101 million, 17,000-member Members 1st CU will determine who gets the love through nominations accepted each month on Facebook. The four most-frequently nominated businesses will then be put to a vote and the winner gets a scheduled time to be mobbed.
Members are encouraged to join the Cash Mob online mailing list to find out where to be and when.
The credit union planned to kick off the effort on Wednesday with a visit to the Fallis Around Town food truck on Hilltop Drive in Redding. Visitors will receive $5 off their meal when they use a Members 1st card as a non-PIN transaction.
"Our cash mob is unique by being sponsored by our credit union and covering a portion of your purchase," said Josh Markle, Members 1st marketing director. "This is a great opportunity for us to aid local business in Shasta and Tehama counties."

Hints for selling college textbooks to get cash 4 books in South Gate CA:
1) Determine Which Used Books and Old Textbooks to Sell Back for Cash:
Put all your old textbooks to sell in a stack – never underestimate the cash price of your used books. Even if you think that no book buy back sites want to buy an old edition of your calculus school book.
2) Create an ISBN Book Buy Back List:
When you selling old school books most book buyback websites use the International Standard Book Number (ISBN). Create the list on your computer as most buyback websites allow you to paste in a list of multiple ISBNs. The ISBN is usually on your school book's back cover or copyright page. Keep the books in the same order as your ISBN book buy back list so it easier and faster for you to keep track of the books once you see book buy back prices.
***If your used school book has a sticker over the ISBN on the back cover, double check that ISBN against the ISBN on the copyright page because often bookstores mislabel books***

4) When Selling College Textbooks for Cash – Pack Your Books Carefully:
When selling books, realize they are like cash. Use a strong box and put packing material in the empty spots so your textbook does not slide around. Try and find a box that fits your used books as closely as possible. Don't use packing peanuts.
4) Ship Your Used Books from South Gate CA:
After we show you where to sell back used books, prepare them for shipment based on the instructions provided by the book buy back website.

Boeing's 787 "Dreamliner" has been more of a nightmare for many at Boeing as the project has cost significantly more than expected and is still two-years late (and counting).
Another problem in the 787's design has been found, this time in the wings. During tests to certify the aircraft, damage to the wings and wing box of the 787 was found. The damage was delamination of the composite sheets covering the wings under stress.
The Seattle Times reports that the structural flaw in the Dreamliner was discovered in May during ground tests that bent the wings upwards to simulate stress during flight. The stress at the end of rods used to stiffen the upper wing skin panels caused the composite plastic material used in the wings to delaminate.
The damage to the wing occurred just beyond the Dreamliner's load limit, described as the maximum weight the wing is expected to bear in service. The Seattle Times mistakenly reported last week that the damage occurred just over the wing's ultimate load, which is 50% higher than the in-service limit load the wing is expected to endure. The limit load is the FAA test target and proves that the problem with the design of the wing is worse than originally believed.
The plane could have flown after the wing damage, but the test flights would reportedly have been severely restricted. The damage the wing sustained is reportedly not severe enough to have caused any sort of catastrophic failure had it happened in flight.
The design flaw and time needed to devise and implement repairs on the fleet means that the test flight will not likely happen this year according to one engineer on the project. The test flight was delayed in late 2008 to Q2 2009.
The damage to the wings extends inside the fuselage of the aircraft as well making repairs more difficult. The failure in the wing and the wing box is not the fault of Fuji Heavy Industries, who manufactures the components for Boeing. That means Boeing is solely responsible for any cost overruns and time delays because of the issue.
The fix has yet to be certified but could involve engineers creating a U-shape cutout in the end of the upper wing skin stringer and then refastening the reshaped stringer ends with new titanium fittings.

Scoping the lines…….
This season has gone by way too fast, so we're going to take you back in time to recap the previous months. February was constantly back & forth between jibbing & jumping, making it one of the most productive yet hectic months of the year. We kicked it off with the last SIA tradeshow that Vegas would ever see, followed by the first time the backcountry was safe/stable & deep enough to get to the good spots. After this, it was back in the air again to the east where we drove a loop around Lake Erie, which was hands down the most successful rail trip we had ever taken. Cam Pierce, Derek Dennison, Gulli Gudmondsson, & Trevor Rhoda made up this crew that logged 6 minutes of A-footage from 8 spots/8days of shooting. Not bad! Rain melted the 2 feet of snow everywhere in the midwest/eastern region within 36 hours so it was time to head back to Utah straight to the pow. Knut Eliassen had just made it across the Atlantic from Norway & started stacking immediately. His part was coming together real quick & he has kept his momentum going for a solid two months now. The fresh stuff lasted about a week or so before it was pretty baked & as hot as 67 down in Salt Lake, Gulli logged a few more shots before heading back to Iceland, & we were given a nice little preview of the spring to come. Lot of sunny slushy days up at Park City & Brighton were had, then winter showed its face again.

Seasons in Orleans County are not just about changing weather, leaves, or recreational pursuits. They also bring wide swings in bird populations, from the near absence of sound or flight during a mid-winter walk in the woods to the deafening chorus of an early spring morning.
My husband, Bob Stymeist, and I have been regularly visiting my mother in Westmore and chronicling the birds we see and hear all year-round. In 2013, over 56 days, we tallied a total of 152 bird species in Orleans County for the year, our personal record. In all, birders recorded 179 species in Orleans County in 2013, according to Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology's eBird. Our total number since we started birding the county about a decade ago is 178 species.
Birders love statistics and to keep lists. A yard list. A town list. A county list. A year list. A trip list. A life list. The term "lifer" becomes a unique word for birders, not only indicating a new species that the birder has never seen, but expanding to anything new to the individual, be it a road, a restaurant, or anything at all.
For us, Orleans County holds special affection. It is where we welcome back our avian friends every spring. "Our" wood thrush returns every year to a particular spot on our property. A northern waterthrush greets us with song every spring morning along the road to Willoughby. A chestnut-sided warbler sets up territory near our mailbox. We are truly astonished and moved by the ability of birds to travel thousands of miles to and from their wintering or breeding grounds, only to settle in the same place as the year before. Welcome back indeed.

Bhutan hosts international conference on protection of cultural property in Asia co-organized with INTERPOL
THIMPHU, Bhutan – More than 80 participants from various International and Bhutanese government agencies, police and customs services, cultural institutions and the private sector have attended an international conference on protection of cultural property in Asia, jointly organized by Bhutan's Ministry of Home and Cultural Affairs and the INTERPOL General Secretariat.
The three-day conference (16–18 February 2013) covered numerous topics, including national laws and international legal instruments, methods of protecting cultural heritage from natural disasters, as well as law enforcement activities against theft, looting and illicit trafficking.
Experts from INTERPOL's Works of Art Unit and international partner organizations, such as UNESCO and the World Customs Organization, and specialist police officers from the Asian region and European destination countries shared their experience and expertise with the participants.
The conference agreed on the need for increased information exchange in the Asian region and beyond on the protection of cultural property, and the effective use of INTERPOL's global tools and services – in particular, regularly contributing to, and systematically searching, its stolen works of art database, which today contains 40,000 records from 125 countries.
Speaking at the conference, Bhutan's Minister of Home and Cultural Affairs, Lyonpo Minjur Dorji, stressed the importance and uniqueness of cultural identity in contributing to the richness of the world's cultural diversity.
INTERPOL Executive Director of Police Services, Jean Michel Louboutin, underlined the role of concerted worldwide cooperation as a requirement for the protection of cultural heritage.
"For law enforcement to meet the challenges of protecting cultural heritage, a global approach is necessary, one that brings together modern techniques to facilitate the identification of stolen property, locate criminals and prevent their plans to cross borders and carry out crimes," said Mr Louboutin, highlighting INTERPOL's long-standing commitment to providing assistance to member countries facing crisis situations and instability when cultural property is particularly vulnerable.
The conference was organized in the National Convention Center in Thimphu with a substantial financial support from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
