Every Big Ten West team's most important recruit in 2015 class
Illinois Fighting Illini
Player: Ke'Shawn Vaughn, RB
247Sports composite rankings: 4-star, No. 314 nationally, No. 27 RB, No. 11 in TN
Why: While it was vital for the Illini to keep some of the top in-state talent in the fold, there's no doubting that the running game needed a severe upgrade. Gabe Megginson, the highly rated 4-star offensive tackle is the best player and a key cog in this class, but the offensive line isn't nearly the disaster that the running back position has been over the last few years.
Running back Josh Ferguson had a ton of potential, but never really got it going in the run game. He has never topped the 800-yard mark in a season, while rushing for over 140 attempts during both is sophomore and junior seasons. It's telling that Ferguson was more of a danger as a pass catcher out of the backfield, where he had 50 receptions for 427 yards and two touchdowns.
While that's nice, adding a dangerous run threat to a potent passing attack would make the Illinois defense even more difficult to deal with. Vaughn adds something this group has been missing and when you add in the fact that the Illini went in and stole a highly rated running back from SEC territory, you've got the most important recruit in the 2015 class.

Cephus says he wants to return to Badgers football
Earlier on Monday we got word from the University of Wisconsin-Madison on the status of Quintez Cephus, the student. He was to have his expulsion reversed after the evidence from his acquittal was brought forth to the university.
The only question left was if he would want to return to the university and the Wisconsin Badgers football team.
During a press conference on Monday afternoon, the speculation was put to an end. Quintez Cephus wants to return to the university and the football team.
During his press conference, Cephus mentioned how he wanted to stay at Wisconsin largely because of the support he got from his teammates and the entire staff of the UW football program.
He also mentioned that he had yet to speak with head coach Paul Chryst face-to-face after this decision was announced, but he would be doing so later in the day on Monday.
Many will also wonder if he's ready physically and mentally to get back on the football field this season. Well, Cephus has been working out in Arizona for three months straight in anticipation of coming back on the field.
Judging by the video he's put out, he's certainly in some good physical condition.
Of course, only time will tell how quickly any and all of this will happen for Cephus and the Badgers. But, Cephus is very clearly focused on not wasting this opportunity and doing things at a very high level.
There are likely a few NCAA hurdles to officially jump through, but I'm also guessing the paperwork was just waiting to be put in motion once the university reinstated him and he gave the go-ahead.
Either way, he will be a welcome sight for an already strong group of wide receivers.

UW reinstates Quintez Cephus
A week after Quintez Cephus, his teammates and his attorneys went in front of the cameras to implore the University of Wisconsin-Madison to allow Cephus back in to school, we now have word on his status.
On Monday morning, it was revealed that Cephus was reinstated to the university. UW sent out the following tweet regarding the matter:
In the statement announcing their decision, the university noted that they had received information that wasn't available during their initial Title IX investigation.
"UW–Madison obtained information following the criminal proceeding that was not provided to the university during the student conduct process, " said the statement. "Chancellor Rebecca Blank conducted a review of this information and the petition for Quintez Cephus' reinstatement as quickly as possible and in a complete and impartial manner.
"As a result of this review, sanctions for Quintez Cephus have been reduced and his expulsion lifted. There were findings of responsibility of the student non-academic misconduct code that were upheld."
Chancellor Rebecca Blank had the following to say about the situation.
"All three of the primary participants in this case are our students, and I know the past year has been painful for everyone involved," said Blank. "My decision is based on the availability of substantial new information that wasn't made available to us during the earlier process. I recognize that some will disagree with this decision."
"To those in our community who have experienced sexual assault, I sincerely hope that there is nothing in this case that will deter you from coming forward for support," she added. "Our university continues to be prepared to listen and respond."
Cephus had his expulsion lifted, but did not have all sanctions removed from his record. According to the statement, the findings of responsibility of the student non-academic misconduct code that were upheld.
With this reinstatement, Cephus has a decision in front of him. He is free to return to the university and the football team has made it clear they will welcome him back with open arms.
But, does he want to return to UW at all? All indications are that he does want to come back to school, but getting his expulsion lifted would allow him to move on from the university if he so chose.
We will have to wait for more information from the program once everyone has had a chance to make their decisions known.

Joe Thomas makes CBS Sports All-time All-American list
College football celebrates is 150th season in 2019 and that necessitates a look back at the history of the sport. That's exactly what CBS Sports decided to do and they came up with a long list of the best players in college football history.
Given the fact that the Wisconsin Badgers went through long stretches of horrific play and few years of good work prior to 1990, seeing a Badgers name on the list was a long shot.
But, one Badger did make the list and that was famed left tackle Joe Thomas.
He was named to the honorable mention All-Time All-American offensive line category. Center was broken out in to a different group all together as well.
While at Wisconsin, Thomas became the first Badger to win the Outland Trophy, which is given to the nation's best interior lineman. He also was named to the 2006 first team All-American list and started 39 games in his four years in Madison.
He is also a member of the College Football Hall of Fame after an 11-year career in which he made the Pro Bowl in 10 straight seasons.
Joining him on CBS Sports honorable mention offensive lineman list were Maurkice Pouncey (Florida), Lincoln Kennedy (Washington), John Hicks (Ohio State), Aaron Taylor (Nebraska) and Jake Long (Michigan).
Making the first team list were Orlando Pace (Ohio State), Jonathan Ogden (UCLA), John Hannah (Alabama) and Ron Yary (USC).
On the second team were Anthony Munoz (USC), Bryant McKinnie (Miami), Will Shields (Nebraska) and Tony Boselli (USC).
Those are all some amazing names and gives us all a great reminder of just how great college football has been over the years to be sure.
Thomas is the only Badgers player to make the list, yes including all-time greats like Ron Dayne and Alan Ameche, let alone perhaps the most famous player of the formative years of college football — Pat O'Dea.
Yes, he doesn't fit neatly in to the mold of a modern college football player, but this was supposed to be a list of the best players to ever grace the field in the history of the game.
It's very hard to argue that O'Dea wasn't exactly that in his era. He was a two time All-American in 1898 and 1899 as a punter and a fullback.
If CBS Sports was serious about honoring the entirety of college football, having O'Dea on the list would be a good place to start.

Badgers unveil throwback unis for Northwestern game
College football is celebrating its 150th year in 2019 and the Wisconsin Badgers have been playing the game since the 1889 season.
In order to honor some of the history of the game and the program, the Badgers will put on throwback (and I use that term loosely) uniforms according to a video released by the football program on Tuesday afternoon.
It appears that UW is looking back to the days where a simple UW adorned the front of the sweaters, as they were called at the time, in that 1889 season.
Today, regulations say that all teams must include numbers on the front and back of the jersey and thus the conundrum the Badgers find themselves in here.
Interestingly, the helmets will feature a first-time logo with the 'UW' having never appeared together in any helmet in Badgers history. Given the fact that back in 1889 there was no such thing as a helmet in the game of football it was an interesting call.
The helmets will also feature just a thin Cardinal stripe down the center and gray face masks.
Personally, I have to say I'm not a fan of cramming the 'UW' on to the front of the jersey and it would've been interesting to see them go back to the Bucky Badger helmet or something else.
It just looks too congested on the front of the jersey, but I do like the idea of the black shoes, khaki colored pants and the red jersey overall. It does harken back to that era in as much as is possible in today's modern game.
However, the players were certainly excited for a different-than-normal look to the Badgers uniforms.
The logo on the side of the khaki colored pants is also the one that the athletic department used from 1962 to 1965 according to research.
Wisconsin will take on Northwestern in the Sept. 28 game that will feature these jerseys inside Camp Randall. Northwestern will also have a similar look as part of what Under Armour is calling its Second Heritage line.
What do you think of this 'throwback' look? Hit up the comments below or follow on Twitter @talkingBadgers.

Policy sets the framework for the Future of Food. And after an unprecedented week in American politics, it behooves us to re-examine how this new era will impact our food system.

Suspects "Michael Zottoli" and "Patricia Mills" – a married couple who were ordered to be kept in detention Friday along with a third suspect Mikhail Semenko – both confessed in post-arrest statements that their given names were fake and that they in fact were Russian citizens, prosecutors said.
"Zottoli" admitted his true name was Mikhail Kutzik and that his real birth date was different to the one given under his cover.
"Mills" confessed her real name was Natalia Pereverzeva and that her family still live in Russia.
The confession came a day after Juan Lazaro, another suspect in the case, confessed to prosecutors that he worked for Russia's intelligence service and he was working under an assumed identity.
Ahead of the hearing Friday, prosecutors insisted to the magistrate judge that the suspects would certainly flee if freed on bond, and the judge agreed the three were "at risk of flight."
Prosecutors also argued the government's case has strengthened since the original complaint Sunday unveiled the 11 alleged "deep cover" agents for Russia were living in the United States.
Ten of the suspects were arrested in the explosive saga that has recalled the shadowy Cold War hostilities between the superpowers, while the 11th, arrested in Cyprus, apparently vanished after being granted bail.
Prosecutors said Friday a wealth of evidence has yet to be revealed, with "well over" 100 decrypted messages between the conspirators, compared to only 10 such messages mentioned in complaints so far.
In searches of Kutzik and Pereverzeva's home and rented safe deposit boxes, since their arrest, prosecutors said among other evidence 80,000 dollars in cash was found in eight envelopes, "packaged in exactly the same way" as those recovered in New Jersey this week in search warrants on other suspects.
The court had been unlikely to grant the three suspects bail, with US authorities still sweating over the disappearance in the saga of eleventh suspect Christopher Metsos, who vanished in Cyprus after posting a 26,500-euro (32,330-dollar) bond and surrendering his passport.

text: I received a last mine invitation from Desire' of Hautie to attend a fashion show. Coincidentally, my night was actually open that evening and I decided to check it out. She told me it was going to be at 111 Minnna Art Gallery, and I always been curious with the location. The atmosphere at Minna was pleasant and the vibe was a proper fit for it's aesthetics. The colorful venue was filled with artwork from various artist all over their walls but I must admit it takes some serious coordination to appreciate these artwork since that evening was surrounded with open bars and alcohol. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a casual drinker and I avoid drinking when I have my camera with me, but my full attention that evening was focus on fashion. I manage to take some candid images here and there while I was mingling with some of the art fans that were soaking in the atmosphere at Minna.

Arab / Legalised Document Applications
Arab Certificates of Origin are managed by a network of Chambers who work with the Arab British Chambers of Commerce (ABCC) to complete the documents. You can obtain your Arab Certificates through a local chamber of commerce who is either an Arab Main Agent Chamber or an Arab Sub Agent Chamber, who will handle the process for you.
Certified Arab Certificates of Origin
Arab Certificates of Origin which require certification can be produced using e-z Cert. These documents can be applied for using the e-z Cert eXpress service or the Standard service, and will be stamped by the Arab Main Agent Chamber and by the Arab British Chamber of Commerce. You will then be able to print the documents with stamps and signatures in the usual way.
Legalised Arab Certificates of Origin
Applications for Arab documents requiring legalisation can also be applied for using e-z Cert, but only the Standard service can be used. Having submitted your application to your agent chamber, they will check it and if they are satisfied that it is correct, they will forward it to ABCC. This can normally be done electronically to save time, and ABCC will print the document and apply their stamps, and they will then take it to the relevant Embassy to complete the legalisation process. The document is then returned by post to the Arab Main Agent Chamber who will apply their stamps and will post the legalised documents to you.
You should contact your chamber to find out how you can obtain your legalised documents.
Note: If it is acceptable by your importer, then you can use the EC Certificate of Origin for certain Arab countries. If this is used then you must select the Arab Declaration disclaimer when adding manufacturers to your application.
The distribution for copies of the Arab Certificate of Origin is as follows:
Original Copy - sent to the customer
Green Copy - retained by the exporter
Blue Copy - retained by the chamber

Press Rejection
Peter Slapnicher
I was totally honored when JA at MLP said they'd be happy to look at anything I might have that would fit their new Nephew imprint. Unfortunately, I had a feeling the thing I had that fit their word count range was not right for the project. I reworked it a little bit, before sending it their way, but in the end, my instincts were right, and JA respectfully declined.
The thing I sent is weird little collection of disembodied quotes from a fake interview. I've been playing with it for a while now - a few years - and I can't figure it out yet, but someday I will.
That said, there are only 75 copies left of the first book in the Nephew series, and I think you'll regret it if you don't order it. The snippets I've gotten my eyes on are pretty spectacular. So go on. Get.

I was hoping to leave on Thursday May 13th, but felt it best to leave on the 14th instead to give me time to finish the last few details on the bike and leave a little better rested. Unfortunately the weather thought that was a bad idea. Friday started out cold and was only interrupted by snow and rain for most of the first day. The trip over Monarch pass was treacherous. The snow and freezing rain made riding difficult to say the least. Toward the top of the pass (the continental divide) visibility was about 10 feet as we literally rode through the storm cloud. The bike putted along as if it hadn't a care in the world and we were able to overnight with my brother in Grand Junction.
Some time in the wee hours of the morning I was awoke by the sound of pounding rain. I hoped it would pass by morning, but it did not. As we prepared to leave I monitored the weather patterns on my cell phone and was amazed to find that the rain was closely following the highway we would be on. It was as if someone was trying to wash the asphalt with rain. My wife Teresa and I suited up in our rain gear and hit the road. The rain was history within a hundred miles and we were able to make it into Las Vegas before night. We decided to stay in the first cheap place we found in Vegas which I think was a mistake. It wasn't the worst place I have ever stayed, but will be on my never again list for sure. The next morning as we left sin city we found places that looked a lot nicer for the same or less money. Oh, well live and learn.
It was a real joy to ride through Utah and Arizona. The scenery is breathtaking. Unfortunately I can't take pictures without stopping so photos are few. The ride from Vegas to Ontario, CA was uneventful except for the heat, wind, and California traffic. I was glad to check into a brand new motel 6 by two in the afternoon. This place is definitely on my stay here again list. We will try and rest before the real fun and work begin Monday morning.

I've been terrible about updating this blog. Honestly, I sometimes forget it's here. So, I'm sorry about that. I get distracted by so many other projects, including my new fitness challenge blog, Steamed Vegetables and Lunges, that I'm currently writing with my friend Patrick.
Also, here's an essay I wrote that was published in Eyedrum Periodically, called "The Wheat from the Chaff."
Enjoy. =)

Throughout life's cooking art, food eating, hygiene etc, you find Men giving the loveliest compliments; the willingness to learn from Women and strong criticism from mothers. I want to pick on the Men. Some selected few though*Smiles*
Man was the first thought of humanity with skills, knowledge and intelligence deposited in him, he discovered his own food, and he combined different things in the garden to make a meal for himself. The first meal his woman ever had, was put together by him, he gave her foundational training on what to put together to get them satisfied, he was in charge of making sure they had the right meals……
So why did Man change? "it was the forbidden fruit"? Not the fruit because the woman hasn't changed till now!!!!
Few questions about your habits, Men…..
Why don't you like cooking?
Why don't you pack your plates after eating and wash them?
Why do you sit and let your woman bring you soap and water to wash your hands after eating?
Fair enough some Men rinse the plate and return it!!...what happened to using soap and sponge?
Why would you rinse a cup after use and place it back like it's clean?
I am not putting an axe to anyone's head; I just want to understand this pattern of thought!!!
MY Take!
As food is to all, cooking is to all,
As using plate is to all, washing is to all……including your hands in the appropriate place. It's really advisable not to burden your Woman and be considerate. Learn the art of cooking; make it an attitude if possible.
Strong opinion though but there's nothing as good as a Woman knowing her better half can also manifest in the kitchen.
I for one like to spoil my Man, I am ready to cook him 50 shades of anything he wants to eat. BING!!!! So does every other woman who can cook well. But men have to also step up…women like meals being cooked for them and they appreciate you packing your plates and washing them after eating, it's a sign of selflessness and consideration, it means thank you for being my Woman. That gesture lingers on and she keeps being selfless to you more. Most women look forward to tasting the different meals their men can create in the kitchen so far it smells nice and looks healthy they will eat.
There are times when the best cooks go wrong, it gets salty or just don't taste right, rather than condemn and just look scornful, take over the kitchen and give your woman a break. Every woman likes a competition, give her two days and she wants her kitchen back. Don't just walk out on the food, or grumble till you finish the last grain
My conclusion!
It's good to get involved in some of the things your woman does for you, it doesn't make you less of a man, you are only being the man of her dreams. And when you help please don't pass comments like "how many Men would do this", Your comments should be "i always want to make you happy".

As the follow up to saxophonist David S. Ware's laudedSaturnian (Solo Saxophones, Volume 1) (AUM Fidelity, 2010) studio session, this second volume comprises two entire concerts documented in March and November 2010, each pairing matching titled cuts on sopranino and tenor saxophones.
If the previous album served to demonstrate that the reedman's solo powers were undimmed, Volume 2 not only affirms that situation, but goes further in showing reservoirs of interior focus and invention that are stronger than ever. The standard is remarkably high over its four tracks totaling more than 78 minutes, with few of the longeurs that can afflict extended single-instrument recitals.
Ware espouses a stream-of-consciousness approach, on occasion tumbling into eastern tonalities, invoking a profound personal spiritualism, especially on the straight horn. In contrast to the companion disc the saxophonist makes fewer altissimo power plays, staying largely within the normal range of his instruments. But with a tone big enough to pin listeners to the back of an auditorium, the intensity generated in more intimate spaces can only be imagined. Peaks are traversed in his arcing trajectory—but as part of the journey, not the ultimate destination. Ware paces himself across both sets, his purposeful extemporized flights of fancy pierced but not deflected by aching cries in a bravura exhibition both powerful and compelling.
Recorded at a private residence in Brooklyn, "Minus Gravity 1" straightaway signals a marvelously controlled performance on piping full-toned sopranino: unhurried and focused, but nonetheless tuneful and freewheeling. "Organica 1" starts in similar vein, with Ware hefting his tenor saxophone in Trane-like grandeur before developing into a passage of regulated over-blowing and frayed blurts. But overall, the piece is more abstracted than its predecessor, switching between tonally centered phrases and expressionistic distortions, guided by some incisive inner logic. On sopranino again for "Minus Gravity 2," the the Chicago date opener, the saxophonist creates a magnificent exposition, starting with legato flowing wave before cresting in an unbroken circular breathed torrent. At times on "Organica 2," it seems the creative process is laid bare, with Ware insistent and almost obsessive in his worrying of motifs until they yield further inspiration. While the occasional lick surfaces, as at the ten-minute mark, this—like the other numbers—convinces as complete in itself, almost entirely devoid of extraneous references.
Either concert alone would have made a satisfying release, so while few are likely to digest both at a single sitting, there is no danger that the appetite of saxophone aficionados will be left unsated by this latest masterful installment in the Ware oeuvre. - By on allaboutjazz

Spaghetti with Sicilian Pesto
There are a few people in my life who never let me down: Mr. President, my parents, Jon Stewart, and Ina Garten. Topping the list of people who do sometimes let me down is Martha Stewart. I dig her, a lot. And, I admire her for all her accomplishments, her marketing and business brilliance and her ability to to give a shit about Halloween. But for some reason, the recipes of Martha Stewart magazine (yes, I'm a subscriber) meet with inconsistent results in my kitchen.
This whole week, I've been struggling with inspiration in the kitchen. I worked from home, and normally, the time and energy I save by not having to commute to an office is used prepping and planning home-cooked dinners. I'm having a stressful time at work though and nothing saps my creativity like stress. I struggled to even come up with a decent meal plan for the week. So, when I saw the easy pasta recipes featured in this month's Martha Stewart Living, I was tempted.
This recipe makes use of the late summer bounty of red sweet peppers and heirloom tomatoes my garden is still pumping out. Mr. President likes anything made with golden raisins, so that cinched the deal. I didn't even have to make a trip to to grocery since the ingredients were already in my pantry or garden. And boy was this good! Simple and delicious, this is a recipe I'll make over and over again. The pesto is basically a no-cook puree that freezes well, so make an extra batch if you can. I did and I'll pull it from the freezer the next time I'm feeling overwhelmed and want to skip making a proper dinner.
I don't like having days that feel hurried and stressed, but it happens to all of us. That's why you should add spaghetti with Sicilian pesto to your short list of things to make when nothing else seems possible.
Thanks, Martha – you are now the wind beneath my wings!
Ingredients (Serves 4)
1 red bell pepper
1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes, cored and quartered
5 anchovy fillets, rinsed and patted dry
3 Tbsp. capers, drained and rinsed
2 Tbsp. golden raisins
1/3 cup blanched toasted almonds, coarsely chopped (toast in a dry skillet), plus more for serving
2 1/2 ounces of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for serving
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound spaghetti
Fresh chopped flat-leafed parsley for serving
1 red bell pepper
1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes, cored and quartered
5 anchovy fillets, rinsed and patted dry
3 Tbsp. capers, drained and rinsed
2 Tbsp. golden raisins
1/3 cup blanched toasted almonds, coarsely chopped (toast in a dry skillet)
2 1/2 ounces of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Roast your whole red pepper by either turning it directly over a gas flame or blackening it under a broiler. Char the pepper on all sides and transfer it to a bowl and cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Let sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the tomatoes, anchovies, capers, raisins, almonds, cheese and oil and place them in a food processor. Once the pepper is cool enough to handle, slide off the skin, and remove the seeds and inside membranes. Tear the pepper into pieces and add them to the food processor. Puree everything together until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step two:
1 pound spaghetti
Fresh chopped flat-leafed parsley for serving
Cook spaghetti in a large pot of rapidly boiling, generously salted water until just shy of al dente. It will continue cooking once you add the sauce, so don't overcook here. Reserve one cup of the pasta cooking water, drain pasta, and return it to the pot over low heat. Immediately add the pesto sauce along with 1/2 cup of reserved pasta water and stir to coat the spaghetti. Add more pasta cooking water only if needed.
Serve topped with more freshly grated cheese, chopped almonds and freshly chopped parsley.

GROZNY: As the plane from Moscow touches down in Grozny, the capital of the Russian republic of Chechnya, a young woman wraps a scarf around her hair.
"Here it's better to be veiled," she told AFP.
On Grozny's streets, many women follow her example and wear headscarves or a hijab that covers the chest, while others are in long dresses that hide their arms and legs.
"We don't force women to wear a headscarf," the city's mayor Muslim Khuchiyev said. "But we remind them that this is the Chechen tradition and what our faith calls for".
Under authoritarian leader Ramzan Kadyrov, in power since 2007, the role of Islam has grown massively in the Russian North Caucasus republic.
In Grozny, dozens of mosques have been built from the ruins of a city devastated after separatists waged two wars against the Russian army.
Grozny hit the headlines in recent months after Russian opposition daily Novaya Gazeta published a report alleging that gay men were being persecuted by the Chechen authorities.
Homosexuality in the conservative region is taboo.
Kadyrov, 40, has also expressed support for polygamy, which is against the law in Russia, saying that "for me, the most important thing is Islamic law".
With alcohol sales restricted, school children studying the canons of Islam and women officially encouraged to wear headscarves for work and study, regional authorities are actively promoting Islam.
'The good Islam'
Malika, 29, goes to the mosque every day with her husband.
"In the last two or three years, people have become more and more religious," she said, adding that she makes her daughter take lessons in religious morality.
"Of course the authorities encourage us. A religious woman is a good mother, a religious man is a peaceful person," said Malika as her phone rang to alert her to one of the five daily calls to prayer, which are also broadcast around the city over loudspeakers.
"Grozny has emerged from ruins to become a modern Muslim city, a showcase for Islam," Khuchiyev said.
Taking pride of place in the centre of Grozny is the Akhmad Kadyrov Mosque, named after Kadyrov's father. Chechnya's previous leader Akhmad Kadyrov was assassinated in 2004.
It was opened in 2008 on the site of the ruined former parliament building, destroyed by Russian bombs.
Now "the largest mosque in Europe… is already not big enough," said Khuchiyev.
Asked about financing for the mosque, the mayor simply said "the money came from Allah," echoing a phrase often used by Kadyrov himself to bat away questions about public spending.
Most of the city's grand reconstruction projects were enabled by lavish funding from Russia.
Since taking power Kadyrov has sought to eliminate the Islamist insurgency known as the Caucasus Emirate that grew out of the pro-independence fighting units in the second Chechen war that erupted in the late 1990s.
"We absolutely had to build new mosques so that people came back to the good Islam," Khuchiyev said.
Khuchiyev means that Chechens should embrace religion without being drawn into the Caucasus Emirate or the Islamic State group, to which the Emirate has now sworn allegiance.
A large number of Chechens have joined IS fighters in Syria and Iraq, according to Russian authorities.
'Muslim city, for Muslims'
In recent years, Kadyrov has expanded his message to address the wider Islamic world.
After the violence erupted this month at a sensitive holy site in Jerusalem, he seemed to declare support for Palestinians on his highly popular Instagram account.
"Almighty Allah has always at the necessary moment put a sword in the hands of a warrior for Islam who is capable of liberating Al-Aqsa," the post read.
Al-Aqsa mosque is part of a compound in Jerusalem's Old City known as Haram al-Sharif, or Temple Mount to Jews.
Moscow-based political analyst Nikolai Petrov said Kadyrov's desire for "a special role in the Muslim world" has been visible ever since Charlie Hebdo.
Hundreds of thousands of Chechens joined a government-directed protest against the French satirical magazine for publishing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in January 2015, just days after staff at Charlie Hebdo were murdered in a jihadist attack.
Kadyrov's "latest statements on Israel and Palestine, on Chechens in Syria, and even the scandal over gays in Chechnya — all this only strengthens his position," said Petrov.
"The greater the shock tactics, the stronger his status as leader."
Grozny is aiming to be a place of influence for Muslims internationally, Khuchiyev said: "People come from very far away to pray and study here".
However, the emphasis on Islam has alienated some residents, such as Yelena, who has lived in the city since she was born.
Yelena, a Russian Orthodox member, said she feels "like a second-class citizen."
"Grozny is a Muslim city, for Muslims," she said.

Domestic inflation driving monthly headline inflation higher
- Details

- Created: 15 August 2017
|Inflation May 2017
|May 17
|Apr 17
|Mar 17
|Feb 17
|Headline *
|Domestic ^
|Imported ^
|* Year-ended growth
|^ Percentage point contribution to year-ended growth
The annual headline inflation in May 2017 rose significantly by 10.0%. This is the highest level of annual headline inflation since the inflation rate picked up in July 2016. The same period in 2016 recorded an annual deflation of 1.0%. The rise in the annual headline inflation rate was due to the very low level of imported prices in May 2016, which recorded a negative 5.0%. The impact of the custom duties and excise taxes imposed on various goods in July 2016 continued to be reflected in the annual headline inflation. In comparison to the annual inflation of April 2017, the contribution of the imported component of the headline inflation to the annual headline inflation eased by 0.4 percentage points whilst the contribution of the domestic component rose by 0.9 percentage points.
Inflation rose by 0.2% over the month mainly driven by the rise in the prices of local kava-Tonga and imported meat.
The annual imported inflation rose by 11.8% driven by higher food and oil prices. The price of imported food was the largest contributor which rose by 15.5% contributing 4.1 percentage points to the overall headline inflation. All imported food categories rose, except for fruits and vegetables, and this was led by a 23.4% increase in prices of meat, fish & poultry reflecting a 34.7% and 29.7% rise in the price of mutton flap and chicken pieces respectively over the year. This was followed by an 11.7% rise in the prices of other food components for items such as sugar which rose by 26.1%. Dairy farm and vegetable products rose by 3.3% for goods such as cheese and butter. The prices of these imported food continued to reflect the excise taxes and custom duties imposed on various imported food in July 2016. Similarly, the price of Winfield blue tobacco rose by 32.5%. Additionally, the increase in world oil prices drove the price of fuel higher by 19.2%, petrol and diesel prices rose by 21.1% and 18.7% respectively. This was followed by a 7.9% increase in the price of fuel and power under the household operations group which comprised of kerosene and liquid petroleum gas. The price of house maintenance goods also increased by 1.4% particularly the price of items such as paint and bricks.
However, over the month imported prices rose by 0.2% largely due to a 1.6% increase in the prices of meat, fish and poultry, followed by a 1.6% rise in the prices of clothing supplies and services.
The domestic inflation rate rose by 7.8% over the year accounting for 3.5 percentage points of the annual headline inflation. The local inflation was driven by the seasonality of local food, rise in electricity price, and the continued short supply of kava-Tonga. The prices of local food rose by 7.1% contributing 1.5 percentage points to the overall headline inflation. This was due to the prolonged dry weather in 2017 for growing vegetables compared to the same period in 2016. Increases in oil prices drove the electricity price higher by 22.7% contributing 1.0 percentage point to the annual headline inflation. Moreover, the price of kava-Tonga increased over the year by 69.4%, followed a 5.4% increase in the price of domestic alcohol.
Monthly domestic inflation rose by 0.2% in May due mainly to an 8.9% rise in the price of kava-Tonga.
On the outlook, the Reserve Bank expects the upward inflationary pressure to remain in the near term as world oil and food prices slowly rise, coupled with the impact of the excise tax which was introduced in July 2016. However, this tax effect is expected to disappear in the coming months, when it was effective the same time last year. The continued shortage of supply in kava-Tonga compared to its high demand is likely to impact the domestic inflation for some time, therefore contribute to the annual headline inflation. The Reserve Bank anticipates the annual headline inflation rate to fall below the inflation reference rate of 5% per annum after August 2017. However, movements in commodity and oil prices, and other temporary factors such as taxes on goods may pose a risk to this forecast. Additionally, the vulnerability of Tonga to natural disasters also poses a risk to the local food prices and consequently the inflation outlook.

text: top_shelf_12 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2015 Two days away from the premier asphalt touring series (TALMS) and the longest running series (TPS) returning to the Bullring of CC Speedway, along with the Dwarfs and local Bombers and Super Streets. TALMS will be competing in Race #3 of the season and the top 5 are separated by less than 15 points. John Heil leads Gary Box by 7 points and ten behind is Anthony Monroe, Derek Legg and Tyler Box close behind Monroe. Cody Beddoe and the rest of the TALMS drivers consistently put on close races with intense battles throughout the field. Put walls around the track and these guys amp it up more. The Pro Sedans look to return to CCS for Race #7 (4th on the track with 3 rain outs). Everyone will be looking to dethrone Sergio Hexel as his domination of the series seems to keep going and going and going. Points are tight behind Hexel with Lisa Sandoval in second (38) Jeff Meeks on her tail (37) and Sterling Beck in striking distance (33). Bob Sherland and Josh McCain tied at 27 points, Cesar Garrido with 26, James Hogan at 25, Tommy Goldman and Mike Knotts with 24. Tight battles up and down the field of TPS drivers and a mix of Rookies and very experienced drivers as well. TPS is always good at CCS so it should be a great show. The always exciting Dwarfs along with the CCS Bombers and return of Super Streets to round out a busy night of racing action Saturday Night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kylie Bax hasn't been shot since she paused her career to raise a
family; the highlights of her early career include iconic stories with
Steven Meisel for Italian Vogue and numerous covers and campaigns from
Versace to Escada.
The New Zealand-born model takes modelling to a new dimension with her dedication and love for fashion: "Modelling, for me, isn't about being beautiful but creating something interesting for people to look at and think about," she says. Bax "had a ball" working with fellow New Zealander Mariano Vivanco, whose films capture the star quality of these exceptional women.

BURGENTINE CREEK. Burgentine Creek rises two miles south of Austwell in eastern Refugio County (at 28°22' N, 96°52' W) and runs southwest for four miles, through the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, to its mouth, on St. Charles Bay in northern Aransas County (at 28°16' N, 96°55' W). The name, also variously spelled Bergantin, Vergantine, and Brigatine, is supposed to have been given to the stream because a Spanish barkentine, carrying the payroll for the Mexican garrisons at Bexar and Goliad, was caught in a storm and driven up from Aransas Bay to St. Charles Bay and up the stream. The vessel was supposedly left stranded in the prairie, where it was later found by colonists who used the metal and timber in building homes and constructing implements. Early Spanish records refer to present Goose Island as Isla de Bergantin and to St. Charles Bay as El Bergantin. The surrounding flat, marshy terrain is surfaced by dark clays that support mesquite, cacti, and grasses.

I leaned to the left, heading straight toward the trees and the fresh twelve inches of powder.
As I watched my skis disappear below the snow I found myself smiling out of gratitude for a sport that has allowed me to once again enjoy the fluffy white powder on the ski slopes of Colorado. And on my preferred mountain, no less, which is Copper Mountain.
I glanced over my left shoulder and saw my husband chasing after me. His singing mixed with laughter was dampened by the falling snow and face-mask wrapped around his mouth. But I could hear him, and his joy made me giggle.
For the first time he was on his own set of unique skis enjoying the same "rush" I was.
I suddenly stopped and he quickly slid to a stop next to me, covering me in a spray of snow.
"Why are we stopping?" he asked.
"I want a picture," I said and he didn't argue because he too knew how special the moment was.
Both my husband and I have years of experience on "normal" skis and a handful of experiences crashing on snowboards, but it has been a decade since I have had the opportunity to be back on skis, due to a non-skiing injury. You see, In 2007 I severed my foot from my leg as a result of a horrific horsing accident. My life went from being "invincible" to fighting for life and limb… and at one point I finally accepted my permanent limp verses an amputation.
Nonetheless, in 2013 (at the age of 30) I received a full ankle replacement. I also discovered an "adaptive" way to ski – a way that I refer to as "bad ass".
I discovered a full suspension ski bike custom created by Devon Lenz at Lenz Sport. With a Lenz bike I could safely get back on the ski slopes! The suspension allows me to get "off" the mountain, which means the bike absorbs the impact that my joints took when skiing. And since my artificial joint has a limited life span, anything I can do to make it last longer is a positive choice!
And this Christmas, for the first time my husband and I were ski biking the slopes of Copper Mountain together on full suspension Lenz Ski Bikes. What made the moment extra special? Typically Copper Mountain doesn't allow full suspension ski bikes, but a few years ago the mountain was kind enough to grant me an "adaptive skier" pass. And this Christmas they allowed my "ski guide" (AKA: my husband) to have his own adaptive pass.
I guess this is my long way of saying "Thank you Copper Mountain (especially Tina) and Lenz Sport for allowing this to happen! Copper Mountain is my all-time favorite mountain to ride and now I get to enjoy it with my all-time favorite person… my husband! You are two awesome companies!"
Side note to the reader: if you see a girl on a full suspension purple and hot-pink ski bike… please say hi!


text: Early-Season Walleye Tactics September 24, 2010 It's that time of year to hit your favorite walleye lake! These tips will help you put a few more fish in the boat. By Ted PeckEarly-season walleyes are great fantasy builders for those who dream about buying a checkered flannel shirt, strapping on a fillet knife and calling themselves a fishing guide.Location is more than half the battle when it comes to consistently boating walleyes. And right now you can use that fillet knife to carve away most of the water over 10 feet deep while poring over a topographic map of a chosen lake. If anyone is still within arm's reach and willing to share your boat after this display, locate the lake's major inlet and stab the map with great flair, announcing, "We're gonna start right here!" Shortly after ice-out, walleyes stage near inlets, moving up into these feeder arms to spawn when water temperatures reach the mid-40s. Sometimes they'll locate desirable spawning habitat on rocky rubble shoreline or similar bottom around islands for this imperative annual migration in the lake itself. Exactly where these fish decide to attempt procreation can vary. But you can bet your tattered fishing hat that a substantial portion of the lake's walleye population is near entry points and in less than 10 feet of water right now. And it doesn't matter whether we're talking a natural walleye lake or water where these fish have been stocked - walleyes are walleyes wherever they swim. A close second to procreation on the walleye's priority list is food, with a somewhat limited forage base available for their consideration until insect hatches start to occur and young-of-year baitfish become part of the food matrix. Walleyes aren't the only fish species drawn by warming water and inlets with the spawning urge. Baitfish have the same spawning needs, making it easy for these myopic predators to pin lunch in the shallows. We're talking the walleye equivalent of a "couch potato" in a comfortable chair with a bag of chips, a cold drink and the NFL on the big-screen TV: why move elsewhere? With fairly limited light penetration and tolerable water temperatures, all habitat parameters are met, with little need to change location until the forage base begins to scatter with weed growth and warming temperatures. There will be some relocation between now and early June, most of which is driven by weather conditions that affect the lake's finned biomass. We're in a period of seasonal change. That means cold fronts and windy days. Walleyes take advantage of the wind by moving to the windward side of rocky-rubble habitat, where baitfish are pushed and even more vulnerable.Photo by Ron SinfeltWeather will also drive the kind of habitat that walleyes will relate to. These predators like to tuck in the shadows of larger boulders when the lake is calm and the sky is bright, moving to bowling-ball- to softball-sized rocks when there is a little "walleye chop" on the water, and even smaller aggregate when the winds they are a howlin'. One rule of thumb you can pass on as walleye wisdom is "The harder the wind blows, the shallower walleyes move." Of course, all of this movement is relative and is driven by the location of the baitfish. Understanding the predator/prey relationship is the single most important component of being a consistently successful walleye angler. Part of this endeavor is understanding how lake characteristics drive the movement of both predators and prey. Those rocks we're talking about aren't laid out on the lake bottom like you'll see in bins at the landscape supply store. There are areas of transition where bigger rocks meld into smaller ones and smaller stones become sand or hard bottom. These transition zones are where you can indulge in your fishing-guide fantasy.Transition zones are important clues to walleye location throughout the year. Right now they are mostly rocks, old creek channels and wood near shallower water. In a few weeks, more transition zones will develop with weeds and changes in weed types as well.Walleyes spend a lot of time locating in areas where they can expend the least amount of effort to move after food, or better yet, in areas where they can let the food come to them. The definition of "successful predator" is a critter that can take in the most food with the least effort expended. For walleyes this often means feeding during low-light periods. Walleyes are lazy feeders by design - no point in chasing minnows at 4 p.m. when you can just cruise up a little shallower and open your mouth to eat at 9 p.m.Using a powerful spotlight, where legal, is a great way to locate schools of walleyes at night in shallow water in lakes where there is more than 5 feet of visibility. Often you'll see their eyes glaring back at you from waters less than 3 feet deep. Winds usually lay down about dusk. Target points and shorelines that have experienced recent wind action. Walleyes will likely be nearby.Once you find 'em, back off a long cast and throw stick baits, making a steady retrieve. In clear lakes, silver and gold are usually good colors. In off-colored waters, fire-tiger, orange and white hues generally work better. A steady retrieve of a Rapala or similar lure is easier for walleyes to locate than you animating the lure. Plastic grubs are also effective when casting to fish in an active feeding presentation, as are in-line spinners like the venerable Mepps. The walleye fishing fraternity has pretty much overlooked in-line spinners for night-bite walleyes in recent years. There are still times when they outfish all other artificial lures, especially at night, just like they did 30 years ago when I bought my first checkered flannel shirt and strapped on a fillet knife. Anchoring up and fishing a lighted slip-bobber with a minnow hooked under the dorsal fin is even more productive, once you find active fish.Of course, the jig-and-minnow is by far the most consistent producer of early-season walleyes ever developed. Since you should be targeting less than 10 feet of water, you'll only need 1/16- to 1/8-ounce jigs, maybe up to 1/4-ounce weight at the most. Slow-falling jigs are usually better than the basic ballhead jig, with the Lindy Timb'r Rock jig tailor-made for pitching to walleyes relating to shallow rocks.With stable weather conditions, post-spawn early-season walleyes are generally in a neutral to active feeding mood. If this is the case, thread the jig hook through the minnow's mouth and out just in front of the dorsal fin. You'll lose less bait than lip-hooking and will catch just as many fish. Most of the time, shiners, fatheads, small red-tailed chubs and little suckers come close enough to approximating the forage base for walleyes to find them appealing.Since we are in a period of seasonal change - and cold fronts are a fact of life - there will be times when you need to slow the presentation down considerably to find success, even when in close proximity to great numbers of fish. Tougher conditions early in the season also call for the basic jig-and-minnow, forgetting any kind of plastic tail. And you always want to have a selection of bucktail jigs in the boat, which are sometimes better fished without any bait.Lindy Rigs are great to employ when the fish gods aren't on your side. Soft, floating jigheads can be a good option. A plain hook - especially a red hook - tipped with a minnow also works. And there are times when adding a single red or orange 5mm bead above the plain hook is what it takes for consistent success.When live-bait rigging, one of the most critical components is the length of your leader. As a general rule the clearer the water, the longer your leader length, somewhere between 18 inches and 8 feet. It's easier to start long and then shorten the leader up if necessary. How do you determine a good starting point for leader length? Stick your rod tip in the water and add a foot to the length of the leader past where the rod tip disappears.For effective weight on the Lindy Rig, figure roughly double the jig weight it takes to get in front of fish. A walking sinker or the Lindy No-Snagg sinker will minimize hangups.If you're in the right location, one or more of these techniques will surely work on early-season walleyes. But if the bite is still tough, tip back the brim of your tattered fishin' hat, work up a good scowl and dig around in the pocket of that checkered flannel shirt for a little paper bag containing split shot, some No. 6 red bait hooks and a few red beads. Peg the shot about 18 inches up the line, add a red bead for effect and bait up. Sometimes the simplest approach is the best. You should be able to outfish a buddy who is using a $6 crankbait and $200 rod. Before long, the flannel shirt and fillet knife will feel mighty comfortable. Then you can get serious about building a guide's persona. Try two different colored tennis shoes.

Britain is rightly seen as a nation of animal lovers. Some 13 million households, one in two across the UK, have at least one pet. Eight million cats warily eye eight million dogs and we are the proud keepers of some 25 million fish.
In such a land, it is no wonder that the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals enjoys an annual income of more than £100 million and traditionally has been widely admired for its work in protecting, rescuing and re-homing unwanted or unloved animals. For these reasons, I was a member for many years.
The RSPCA is believed to be Britain's most prolific private prosecutor. It pursues around 10 cases a day at a cost of more than £8 million a year. By contrast, its Scottish sister, the SSPCA, prosecutes no one, leaving that task to the police and Procurator Fiscal.
The NSPCC, one of the country's most respected charities protecting children, has not taken a private prosecution since 1993. Most animal and human welfare charities rely on the police and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and rarely, if ever, take cases on themselves. The RSPCA will say (as will certain police forces) that only it has the manpower and expert knowledge in this difficult field. In other words, it is easier for the society to do it than the hard-pressed local force. So why does this only apply to the RSPCA? And why is it not the case in Scotland? The RSPCA is also aggressive, high profile and commercial, needing millions of pounds a week just to survive.
Today, for the first time, Parliament will debate the RSPCA's role as a prosecutor and ask whether the society has lost its welfare credentials to an increasingly animal-rights-driven agenda. The Attorney General himself will respond for the Government. He will face four questions.
First, MPs will raise the question of conflict of interest. The RSPCA claims to adhere to CPS guidelines when it decides whom to prosecute. These are rightly stringent, with clear rules as to how to act when suspects are old, infirm or vulnerable. So why was Pauline Spoor, a pensioner from Manchester, convicted and tagged for not having her old arthritic dog put down? She admitted that her actions were misguided but said she could not bear to lose him as he was her constant companion. Wouldn't a quiet word have resolved the problem just as effectively – and more cheaply?
In 2010, three RSPCA inspectors, with police reinforcement, entered the home of 67-year-old Georgina Langley and took away her 13 cats, four cockerels and dog. Within days, she was told the RSPCA had put down five of her cats. The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) carried out an independent post-mortem examination on a ginger Tom and an adult female, after being contacted by Miss Langley's vet. The vet said: "There appears to be no good reason why the RSPCA allowed these animals to be put to sleep. The RVC post-mortems concluded that the cats were healthy… This lady needed help and support, not hauling through the courts." The RSPCA pushed for costs of £28,000, asking magistrates to make an order on the pensioner's home and calling for her to be banned from keeping animals. Instead, it was ordered that Miss Langley's dog, cockerels and one cat should be returned. She was given a conditional discharge with no fine or costs imposed.
So the Attorney General will be asked whether a prosecutor can honestly apply CPS guidelines when it has such a tempting political and commercial morsel dangling in front of its hungry mouth. We will explore why the society has never prosecuted any member of its wholly owned Freedom Food scheme, despite a number of high-profile examples of cruelty. It seems that on those occasions the CPS was deemed expert enough to prosecute. Are the understandable commercial interests of the charity encouraging it to resist prosecution when its brand is at risk, but to apply the opposite principle when it feels a case could help fill the coffers?
Second, we will debate its relationship with the police. Despite its uniform, rank structure and language, the RSPCA has no more powers than you or I. Yet it frequently uses covert surveillance, carries out raids and hands down cautions. We will ask whether the police should show such trust in an organisation driven as much by political ideology and financial reality as it is by welfare requirements.
Third, we will set out the argument that the CPS is able to prosecute all cases under wildlife crime and animal welfare legislation, so there is no longer any need to rely on political charities bringing prosecutions. Parliament's environmental audit select committee suggested that "the CPS should review its performance on prosecuting wildlife crime in England and Wales with a view to either employing specialist wildlife crime prosecutors or introducing specialist wildlife crime training for its generalist prosecutors".
Finally, we will ask the Attorney General to exercise his right to deploy the CPS Inspectorate to "inspect other prosecution bodies for which he has responsibility, or to inspect bodies where they are agreeable to voluntary inspection, and to undertake reviews of high-profile cases".
By raising these questions we seek to prevent the valuable work of the RSPCA's local staff and volunteers from being undermined by its over-zealous leadership. It's time for the RSPCA to decide if it wants to be an objective and trustworthy prosecutor, or a campaigning political charity. It cannot be both.
