She Buys Baby For $300--Wanted Apartment
She went to Nigeria, bought a baby boy for about $300 and smuggled him to the UK in an attempt to get a free council flat. Police revealed that they had found a receipt in her belongings from a woman in Nigeria for that sum.
[International: Immigration Stories]
Peace Sandberg, 40, and of dual Swedish and Nigerian nationality, tried to pull-off an audacious plan; and almost got away with it.
She went to Nigeria, bought a baby boy for about $300 and smuggled him to the UK in an attempt to get a free council flat. Police revealed that they had found a receipt in her belongings from a woman in Nigeria for that sum.
Peace Sandberg, a Kensington Housing Trust worker, will now not realize her dream of that free apartment; she will have another form of accommodation. She was found guilty at Isleworth crown court of bringing a non-EU citizen to the UK and sentenced to 26 months in prison on Friday 16th May 2008.
The judge said: she was "manipulative and a stranger to the truth," at the crown court in west London.
After buying the child, Sandberg used a forged birth certificate to get a visa for him from the British high commission in Nigeria, her native country.
After arriving at Heathrow, and telling immigration officials that the baby was hers, Sandberg, who had been living in a hostel, was at Ealing council's homeless persons unit, cradling the child in her arms. She claimed she had returned to Africa in December 2006 to give birth and needed an apartment for herself and her "son".
But the court heard she was immediately recognized by Lizette Reddy, a housing officer. How could Sandberg deliver a baby when she as not pregnant two months earlier? Sandberg then denied any wrongdoing, claiming she had adopted her cousin's orphaned son to give him a better life in Britain, the Guardian newspaper reports.
Sandberg says that she took the $300 to Nigeria to provide for the child's upkeep while she was out there and not as money for the purchase of the infant.
Despite her protestation the jury took just 40 minutes to unanimously convict her of one count of child trafficking. Sandberg remained impassive as Judge Sam kathkuda told her it was clear she had lied repeatedly during the "pre-planned and pre-meditated" operation to breach immigration laws. But she later burst into tears, insisting: "I am not a liar. I have never told a lie in my life---I have done nothing wrong."
Outside court, Detective Inspector Gordon Valentine of the joint police and immigration service Paladim team, which investigates child trafficking and exploitation, welcomed the sentence. "This is the first case I am aware of where a child has been smuggled into Britain to get a free home," he said.
The child has since been taken into the care of social services.
Sandberg's five-day trial heard that in May 2006, she had been renting a private property in Acton, west London, when rent arrears and disputes with neighbors forced her to leave.
She contacted the local council for help only for them to decide she had made herself intentionally homeless.
But officials said they could provide temporary accommodation because she had a 12-year-old daughter. Some time later police and social services learned the girl had returned to her father in Sweden; Sandberg faced eviction.
Shortly afterwards the defendant bought return tickets to Nigeria, returning weeks later with the boy.
Chris Beddoe of Ecpat UK, a pressure group which campaigns for tougher laws against child traffickers, said: "We are seeing increasing evidence that children are being trafficked into Britain for benefit fraud", the Guardian reports.
Up to two million families face being pushed on to the waiting list for social housing by 2010 as a result of soaring mortgage costs and high property prices, town hall leaders warned today.
The Local Government Association said councils are struggling to cope with increased demand as experts predict the young middle class will increasingly be forced to turn to council housing.

Nearing the mid-way point of this nine game home stand, next up: the Pittsburgh Pirates. Division games often make the difference at the end of the season. Now is the time to pull away from the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Here are your 2011 standings in the NL Central as of today, May 27:
Sitting side by side like Siamese twins sharing the fourth spot in the NL Central, the Cubs and Pirates are both clawing away as best they can to see what the Cards and Reds are up to atop the standings. Hoping the hole they are standing in isn't made of quicksand, they've got their shovels out trying to dig their way out of the hole they dug themselves. Like watching two people doing their best to recover from a slip of the tongue, Cubs fans will be rooting for the Cubs to successfully do so and hope the Pirates end up packing up their things and asking for room in the basement next to the Astros in the basement of the division.
As expected, the Central is turning into a four team race. After this series, one of the two teams will have separated themselves from the other and hopefully it's the Cubs joining the Brewers, Reds and Cards and not the Pirates. It is so hard to make up ground in this division as we've seen recently. Feels like in the past couple weeks, while the Cards have picked up a couple games on us, every time the Cubs win, the Cards win and when we lose, at times they still win. It gets frustrating to win a day game and hope you pick up a game that night, only to watch St. Louis maintain their lead. It's a tough division, I know, but Pittsburgh, you're getting a little too clingy. Enough is enough. We need a little space.
The Cards, Reds and Brewers all get to play the Pirates and Astros as many times as we do. Chances are they are going to take care of business. This week is our turn, our shot at winning the games we need to win to contend. Four games over the Astros, we've done a good job stiff-arming Houston in the standings.
It's time to do the same to you, Pittsburgh.
Not too long ago, Pittsburgh might as well have been a difficulty rating of just above an off day or batting practice. A young team fighting desparately to become relevant again after 20+ years of coming up short, they are slowly getting better. Recently, the Pirates are making it a series against the Cubs and at the end of the year, like last year, the Pirates even took the season series between the two of them. Chasing the Cards is one thing. First thing's first though…we need to pull away from Pittsburgh. We're trying to achieve something here and you are cramping our style, Pirates.
Doug Davis on the mound tonight. Remember Doug, these are the Pirates. Not the Red Sox. Get the W. Go Cubs Go!

Most naval history fans have heard of Oliver Hazard Perry, Thomas Macdonough and James Lawrence ("Don't give up the ship!") and the big battles waged against the British on the Great Lakes in the War of 1812. But who has heard of Capt. Joshua Barney, who led the Chesapeake Flotilla during the War of 1812? A seasoned Navy veteran of the American Revolution, Captain Barney was responsible for identifying the weaknesses in the Royal Navy's armada that was terrorizing Maryland and Virginia at the time.
In Flotilla: The Patuxent Naval Campaign in the War of 1812, author and marine archaeologist Donald G. Shomette describes the Chesapeake Bay as a collection of estuaries and vast array of navigable waters that allowed the British to stretch deep into the U.S. homeland – en route to Washington, D.C. (and the eventual burning of the nation's capital). In a lecture at the Navy Memorial this week, Shomette recounted how the Brits' deep-draft ships hindered their mobility in the shallow Chesapeake and they had to rely on barges to reach the more shallow creeks and ponds and to ferry their troops ashore and to reach the shallow rivers and creeks.
To combat this threat, Captain Barney successfully convinced the secretary of the Navy at the time to build a heavily-armed, shallow-draft fleet of row galleys (or barges) that could nimbly out-maneuver the British in these shallow waters. It was a desperate move, as the Royal Navy's assets far outnumbered the Americans'. (Estimates were that the mighty Royal Navy had more than 1,000 ships of war and the Americans had approximately 16 at the onset of the War of 1812.)
The flotilla that Captain Barney built was comprised of 26 ships and approximately 500 sailors. They valiantly tried to defend the massive coastline and harbors leading farther inland. He was successful in eliciting a singular victory at St. Leonard's Creek and he made a heroic effort at Bladensburg in August 1814. But, without ancillary support and a choreography between land and sea forces, Captain Barney's flotilla was doomed.
The Chesapeake campaign was a diversionary one, as the stakes were much higher in the Great Lakes. But, it served a purpose, hindering the British forces' advance to Washington. And author Shomette highlights the lesson that Captain Barney's service and sacrifice illuminated: defending a coastline with a brown-water maritime force is not sufficient. A blue-water force is necessary to defend against commensurate enemy forces determined to invade our shores.

Cashner in midst of dominant run on mound
SAN DIEGO -- With a 1.27 ERA and zero clunkers after four starts, few pitchers have as much momentum as right-hander Andrew Cashner does right now. Each start, it seems, energizes everything around him -- from the dugout to the standing ovations he's received at Petco Park.
"From center field, I got to see the frustration of some of the [Rockies' batters]," Chris Denorfia of Cashner's strong outing on Wednesday. "He's really coming into his own as something special."
The numbers are stacking up to support Denorfia and everyone else who feels that way.
Over his past 10 starts dating back to Aug. 19, Cashner owns a 0.99 ERA and is holding opponents to a .175 batting average while surrendering two earned runs or fewer in 10 consecutive starts. That is the third-longest active streak in the Majors behind the Dodgers' Zack Greinke (15) and the Marlins' Jose Fernandez (13).
The streak is also the fourth longest in Padres franchise history -- and the longest since Mat Latos went 15 consecutive starts from June 10-Sept. 7, 2010.

Wayne County prosecutor receives warrant request in stolen Detroit casket case
Casket, body of 93-year-old man allegedly stolen by son
DETROIT – The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office said Wednesday it had received a warrant request in the case involving a son who allegedly stole his father's casket in an effort to help resurrect him.
The casket containing the body of 93-year-old Clarence Bright was discovered missing Monday from Gethsemane Cemetery.
Police took Bright's son and another man into custody Tuesday morning after discovering the casket in a van at a gas station at Harper Avenue and Dickerson Street.
Bright's body was later found in a freezer in the son's home on Eastlawn Street.
Sources said Bright's son had told family and friends he thought God would bring his father back to life.
The prosecutor's office said it would release more information after the warrant had been reviewed.

Non-toxic Shot
Non-toxic shot is required throughout the U.S. for waterfowl hunting. Studies showed that many waterfowl died each year because of lead poisoning. Lead pellets from traditional shotshells were picked up and digested by waterfowl. The toxic effect spread to other birds, such as the bald eagle, who consumed the poisoned waterfowl. To reduce this problem, conservationists worked with shotshell manufacturers to produce effective alternatives to lead shot—steel, tungsten, alloy, or bismuth shot.
Steel shot is slightly lighter than lead shot of the same size—reducing its velocity and distance (range). Also, steel shot is harder than lead, so the individual pellets stay round, keeping the pattern tighter.
Some hunters use steel shot one or two sizes larger to make up for the difference in weight from lead shot. Others use the same size steel shot or even smaller steel shot to get more shot into their patterns. You should pattern your shotgun with various loads of steel shot before hunting waterfowl with it.
Effective pattern density is the key. Maximum pellet counts spread evenly across a 30-inch circle are best. Full chokes generally produce poor patterns with steel shot.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Rabbi Shmuley Boteach this morning for an article I am doing for Her Life Magazine. You have probably seen Rabbi Shmuley around the major morning news shows lately promoting his book The Kosher Sutra. I first became aware of Rabbi Shmuley through his show on TLC Shalom in the Home. He was on Oprah talking about a couple who had a father who was "broken". My husband and I started watching Shalom in the Home soon after that and it was like having a weekly marriage therapy session. The issues were real, the families were relatable and the advice Rabbi Shmuley shared was invaluable.
When I was talking to Rabbi Shmuley today, I was reminded of something I had learned a couple of years ago when I was watching Shalom in the Home. Yes, my husband travels a lot, but when he is home one simple little thing that can turn his evening around when he comes home from work is to have the family greet him at the door lovingly when he walks in. I'll be honest with you… when Nick walks through our door, half the time I am in the middle of making dinner and barely look up at him to say hi, not to mention walk over to embrace him when he comes in. Our relationship is really good, we love each other dearly, but I know that making that one simple gesture when he gets home from work could make a huge impact on the rest of the evening. I would stop whatever I was doing to welcome a guest into our home… why shouldn't I do the same for my best friend/husband?
This week, Nick is not traveling, so I am going to do a little experiment. I am going to drop everything I am doing and have the kids do the same when he comes home from work. We are going to greet him with hugs and kisses and show our excitement to see him when he walks in. Tonight, he's going to be greeted with hugs, kisses and these yummy Brown Sugar Pound Cupcakes with Brown-Butter Glaze. He works hard all day long to give us a wonderful life. Welcoming him back home at the end of the day is the least we can do.
What is one small thing you do to help keep your relationship alive?

Semaj Christon scores career-high 28, Xavier beats Marquette 86-79 for 8th straight win
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
CINCINNATI – Semaj Christon scored a career-high 28 points and hit back-to-back 3s in the closing minutes Thursday night, helping Xavier hold on for an 86-79 victory over Marquette and its eighth win in a row.
Xavier (13-3, 3-0 Big East) let a 12-point lead slip away in the second half before Christon hit the pair of 3s, putting the Musketeers ahead to stay in a matchup of the league's top defensive and rebounding teams.
Marquette (9-7, 1-2) hadn't allowed 80 points this season. Xavier dominated the boards 39-20 and went 32 of 41 on free throws.
The Golden Eagles were last in the league in 3-pointers, but stayed close by making a season-high 11 shots from beyond the arc. Davante Gardner had 19 points.
Xavier improved to 11-0 at the Cintas Center this season and 182-25 in its 14 seasons at the on-campus arena.

The Bible starts out by recording, In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth (Genesis 1:1) and from the original text, the word that is used to refer to God here is Elohim, which is plural in nature. The Spirit of God moved over the waters of a dark and void world and God spoke and there was light. But is there a mention of Jesus Christ in creation? We find this in the epistle that the Apostle Paul writes to the church at Colosse stating that Jesus Christ was in the creation of all things and it is in fact for Him that all things were created (Colossians 1:16). So we see that the Trinity (triune God-in-One) was actively involved in the creation. However despite the three personalities, God is one. There is unity in these personalities. Jesus himself makes it very clear that He and the Father (God) are one, and whoever has seen Him has seen the Father.
We also see the plurality of God (in the personality of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit), evident in the creation of man for God says, Let us make man in our own image (Genesis 1:26-27). The words "us" and "our" in that statement makes it clear that the three personalities of God (God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit) were actively involved in the creation of mankind. In fact, upon the creation of man, man was made, a Spiritual being on a physical journey and not a physical being on a Spiritual journey for the Bible teaches us that when the breath of God was breathed into man, made from the dust of the earth, man being a "living soul" (Genesis 2:7). But sadly, many a times, we act as living bodies and dead souls.
Point(s) to ponder:
How are you/I on this spiritual journey?
Is your life dark and void? If so, ask God to shine his Light (Jesus Christ) on you.
God has been personally involved from the beginning, in your creation, but blessed is the person who has become a new creation, by placing their trust in Jesus Christ. Are you a new creation?
Let us live our lives as living souls and dead bodies (dead to the flesh) and not the other way around!
Genesis 1:26-27 (KJV)
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Can voters consider a bunch of complicated ballot initiatives at once? Not really.
So with 10 initiatives on this November's ballot, a number of measures aren't getting enough attention, scrutiny, and debate for voters to make informed decisions.
This is natural, in a way. The two competing temporary tax initiatives, Propositions 30 and 38, have big money behind them, and are drawing big media attention because of Gov. Jerry Brown's role in the fight.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Prop 31 has been pretty well-scrutinized by media organizations, many of whom care about reform.
Prop 32 also has big money on both sides, so its details and flaws are getting sufficient attention.
Prop 34, the death penalty repeal, and Prop 37, the initiative to label some genetically modified foods, have received extensive publicity, both in the national media and on California television.
Voters who are paying attention would have enough information to make well-informed decisions on all of these initiatives. But what about the others?
The others simply aren't attracting enough attention, debate, and deliberation to inform voters -- and to make the November vote a legitimate popular judgment.
- Prop 33, an initiative to change auto insurance, has been backed by one wealthy insurance company owner, but there's been no real substantive debate on the issue.
- Prop 35, on human trafficking, isn't drawing attention., because who could be against human trafficking? But there are real arguments against this measure -- particularly because the new penalties it imposes would add costs and burdens for law enforcement, when state and local governments don't have any extra money. Legislators who opposed a bill to do some of these same things also had questions about how broadly some new restrictions in the bill would apply. Prop 35 may be a good idea, but we don't know that yet because it hasn't really been scrutinized by the full force of engaged citizens and the California media.
- Prop 36, a three strikes change, has a similar problem. It has a big lead in the polls, because no one is talking about it.
- Prop 39, a corporate tax change, is a close call. It's gotten some attention, and the idea of changing the corporate tax has been debated closely for several years, including in the last legislative session. But the way the initiative would spend money from additional corporate tax revenues -- on green energy projects -- hasn't received scrutiny.
So what to do? Voters might be wise to go with the strategy of simply voting no on things they don't know much about it. But what would be even better would be to take such measures off this ballot -- and delay them to another time.
This sort of thing can be done in some other states and countries with the ballot initiative process. But not in California. Once an initiative is on a ballot, it's on the ballot -- and it can't be moved. The result is that voters will be voting blindly on these measures.
But there's another solution to this: limiting the number of measures that can be on any one ballot.
One way to do that would be to separate ballot measure elections from candidate elections, as is done in Switzerland, which was the original inspiration for California's initiative process. The Swiss hold quarterly elections on initiatives and referenda. Those elections are set up to make sure there's only one or two initiatives on the time, so each measure gets scrutiny, deliberation, and debate.
California should adopt the Swiss election calendar, and vote up to four times a year on measures. Each initiative deserves some time in the sun before we vote on it.

Europe's leading learning disability theatre company is gearing up for a stellar year of performances and new productions in celebration of its 30th year.
Yorkshire's own Mind the Gap works in partnership with learning-disabled artists in an effort to give them a voice and deliver a bold artistic programme designed to both surprise and excite audiences.
Thirty years of success
To mark its 30th birthday, the company will spend the next 12 months celebrating its achievements and artists by touring highly-acclaimed productions, creating new work, including a large-scale, outdoor spectacular, and challenging the current lack of work for learning disabled artists.
"We have championed learning disability arts for 30 years," says Julia Skelton, executive director at Mind the Gap.
"We have a theatre company and an academy, each with exceptional facilities, and we've worked alongside other arts venues to help create more opportunities for both learning disability audiences and artists.
"There are success stories for learning disability artists and performers as shown by the recent Britain's Got Talent results, bu there's still no room for complacency."
Despite 1.4 million people having a learning disability in the UK, Mind the Gap insit that their voice is still noticably missing.
"We work with learning disabled artists to give them a voice," Skelton explains.
"Our work is all about collaboration - we don't tell our artists what to say or how to say it; our work is created by them.
"We want to see more learning disability arts respected and heard at conferences, events and in other people's productions."
Creating equal opportunities
The company's aim is to create ambition for people to play their trade elsewhere and with several of its artists already independently commissioned, it has already created excellent opportunities for learning disabled artists.
Liam Bairstow is just one of the artists to benefit from Mind the Gap's support, having become a regular to the cobbles of Coronation Street where he plays Alex Warner.
And later this month, Bairstow will appear on the celebrity judging panel of Leeds Young Talent, a talent show for youngster with a learning disability hosed by People in Action.
"Having a disability is not a bad thing," he explains.
"It's a good thing because you get to know people inside.
"I'm very proud to inspire and represent people through my role on Coronation Street and my work with Mind the Gap."
Work for the future
Since starting life in 1988, the company made itself a permanent home at Lister Mills in Bradford ten years ago, allowing it to grow, produce more work and create more opportunities - all in spite of those who said they couldn't achieve it.
"If we'd have listened to those that said we couldn't do it we'd never have done it, but here we are" adds Skelton.
"We've achieved so much and we are incredibly proud, but there is more to do.
"Our Performing Arts Academy is oversubscribed which is great news for us, but not so for those who don't make it in.
"Mind the Gap shouldn't be the only option for learning disabled artists."

vineyard hut domaine bonserine ampuis rhone france
Domaine Bonserine, Côte Rôtie, Rhône, stock photography samples, by Per Karlsson, BKWine.
THIS IS ONLY A SELECTION OF SAMPLES. Use the image SEARCH function to find more relevant photos.
Domaine Bonserine is a wine producer in the northern Rhône Valley. It is located near Ampuis, the central town in the Côte Rôtie appellation. Domaine Bonserine was bought by Domaine E Guigal, the biggest producer in the region, in 2006, but is managed separately.
Domaine Bonserine has around 10 hectares of vineyards in Cote Rotie, which makes it one of the biggest producers. The Cote Rotie wines are made from syrah grapes – powerful wines full of fruit and tannin. Sometimes there may be a touch of viognier (white) grapes in the blend to lighten it up a bit.
Domaine Bonserine also has a few hectares of land in Condrieu. There is grows the white viognier grape, making aromatic and powerful whites.
The Cote Rotie vineyards are on steep slopes, sometimes terraced. Vines are trained individually and not on wires. The land is often too steep for that and it is not the local tradition. Instead the vines have support from wooden poles, sometimes one per vine, sometimes three. This is called en echalat.

If you've got about 150 thousand bucks burning a hole in your pocket, you can build and launch one of these little personal satellites called cubesats.
What you're looking at here is the future of personalized space exploration. When prices come down on these things, anybody could launch their own mini-space telescopes or science experiments into low Earth orbit for a couple of months (after that time, they're designed to fall back to Earth and disintegrate in the atmosphere so they won't add to all the space junk in orbit).
Just please do not use them to launch your own personal geoengineering project, OK?

Watch the 140th Kentucky Derby Saturday on NBC starting at 4p ET. Follow all the action online at NBC Sports.
After months of competing in qualification races, the world's top thoroughbreds are getting ready to face off on May 3 in the Kentucky Derby, the first step toward the elusive Triple Crown.
No horse has won all three races – the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes – since Affirmed accomplished the feat in 1978. But heading into the first of this year's Triple Crown races, one 3-year-old is attracting attention for his flawless races and breakneck speed: California Chrome, a colt who won his last four races by a total of 24 1/4 lengths, appears to be the horse to beat at Saturday's Kentucky Derby. Churchill Downs oddsmaker Mike Battaglia made California Chrome the 5-2 morning-line favorite.
U.S. & World
"If there is a horse who has the qualifications, and I'm talking about a horse who does not have a flaw, it's California Chrome," said Steve Haskin, senior correspondent at The Blood-Horse magazine.
The California-bred horse with humble beginnings seemed at first an unlikely Triple Crown contender. Owners Steve Coburn and Perry Martin bought his mom, Love the Chase, for $8,000, according to KentuckyDerby.com, and California Chrome was her first foal. That's a bargain for an elite thoroughbred: Constitution, a Triple Crown contender that will miss the Derby due to a shin injury, cost his owners $400,000.
California Chrome, a chestnut colt with a wide white stripe down his face, trains at California's Los Alamitos Race Course, which up until recently was a track for quarter horse racing. It was lengthened in 2014 to accommodate thoroughbred racing. If California Chrome wins Saturday's race, he would be only the fourth horse from the state to do so, according to bloodhorse.com.
But on the track, California Chrome kept winning. His workouts are flawless, Haskin said, and he managed to win four straight races without regressing.
"He wins with no urging at all and runs his competitors into the ground at the same spot and with the same burst of speed each time," Haskin said.
California Chrome's would-be challengers include Wildcat Red and General a Rod. Both horses are fast, but some analysts believe they'll struggle with the Kentucky Derby's mile and a quarter distance.
"(Wildcat Red) will be at California Chrome's collar from the start," The New York Times' Joe Drape said. "The question is whether either of them can keep running through the Derby's last quarter-mile."
The track conditions at the race should be pristine. The weather forecast for Saturday in Louisville, Kentucky, calls for temperatures in the 70s and no rain, accoridng to the The Weather Channel.
Haskin sees one horse that could threaten California Chrome: Danza, named for actor Tony Danza.
Danza entered the Arkansas Derby earlier this month as a 41-1 long shot and delivered a shocking 4 3/4-length victory, showing just who is the boss. A performance like that at the Derby could make the colt a contender.
"He did something at the Arkansas Derby that an average horse should not do," Haskin said.
Danza and Intense Holiday, another Derby contender, are trained by Todd Pletcher, who also trains the injured Constitution. Pletcher-trained horses have won three Triple Crown races, including the Kentucky Derby in 2010 (Super Saver)
Danza seems to be peaking at the perfect time, according to Haskin.
"Consistency is not the main factor, it's who is blossoming that day," he said.
Other top Derby contenders include Vicar's in Trouble, Dance with Fate, Samraat, and Wicked Strong.
Hoppertunity was among the top contenders, but was scratched from the race because of a sore left front foot, trainer Bob Baffert said Thursday.
Wicked Strong earned a spot in the Derby by winning the Wood Memorial in April. The colt's original name was Moyne Spun, but his owner changed the name to Wicked Strong after the Boston Marathon bombing, as a tribute to the bombing's vicitms.
"To me, he's the Derby favorite," jockey Rajiv Maragh told the New York Times. "He showed me more distance is going to be better for him. There's a lot left in the tank. I don't think we're at the bottom of him yet."

Symphony audiences have grown accustomed to being reminded to turn off their cell phones before every concert, so Saturday night was a bit of a surprise. They we asked to turn them on just moments before the performance began.
And since they happened to be on, maybe they could use the text function to send a quick $10 to support the CSO. Right now as a matter of fact.
It was a clever move, and not at all a desperate one for the financially troubled Colorado Symphony Orchestra. People seemed happy to do it, and the moment set a nice communal tone for the casual evening of pops they shared the rest of the night.
The interactivity surely benefited singer Patti LuPone, who joined the CSO for a night of Broadway tunes. Her act was built around intimate stories of her life, punctuated by theater classics. And the audience was already in a sharing mood before she hit the stage.

How do I reach the fortune teller ending?

How do I reach the fortune teller ending?
I have the gallery filled, and now I am working on achieving the variations on the endings. I cannot figure this one out. I figure fortune telling needs magic and knowledge of the stars something like astrology? Are there events need for this? Help!!!
IIRC 'fortune teller' was one of the new "easy" endings, which has pretty low requirements including not-much-Dream. I don't have the stats for it in front of me at the moment but my first guess would be to learn magical-type things but then end the game with low stats so that you don't qualify for the other endings.
Low Dream, that makes sense
Oh Okay so its like the clerk ending except for the skill set. I'll try it out. Thanks!

I struggled to just go out as I was online and questioned the factor of doing a long run. Motivation...seriously not there.
So I eventually bit the bullet and set a time limit on how long I was actually going to run.
Maybe my questioning came from the cold...winter...
Or maybe it was because of the major storm that we just had yesterday called a northester named NEMO, which dropped about 6-9 inches in the city and 2-3 feet in Boston....crazy!
But the sun finally came out and that got me going slightly as I dragged my body into my running gear. It didn't seem that cold, as I put on my stuff and left. Simple...let's route around the bottom of Manhattan and back around. I didn't need to venture into Central Park today for a long run, but I don't think I would have lasted if I did that and schemed my way to doing less mileage. The essence of picking a longer route is that you are choosing to finish it...or really, you have no choice but to finish, since you are so far out.
So I first dropped off a DVD that I watched last night and then started my usual route going down 1st ave past the UN building and over to the East side...and boy did I have to trek through some snow, wet piles and slosh...it was at the moment of crossing at about 20th street near the circle line, where I went straight into the water of slosh and ice....oh crap!
My foot then was submerged and it was a no go from there on in...I started feeling my sock, cold and wet drag against my skin and no sooner than 2-3 miles in...I started feeling a blister forming. (Mind you that this is basically about 5 miles into the actual run) which was not good at all!
I carried on, past the Brooklyn Bridge, the seaport and across the Staten Island Ferry...the sun was shining and I went past some difficult areas to go around in the snow as I off-road ed...but you make with what comes with you.
Through Battery City where a guy yelled at me to say hello that was on the ferry to the a Statue of Liberty...he was a worker and was friendly...I donno! The wind was miserable though, right into your face and some winter glitter along with it. It was ok...
So almost home, by this point my mind was set to just make it home and cut across 57th street or 59th...I would be ok with ending up with 12 miles today. My legs were not hurting, but it was really the uncomfortably of the blister.
Then...as I was going up the West Side Highway, I see two familiar faces that I haven't seen in a while. Jos and Jon, whom I had always ran with from the downtown group and I since our crew had broken up because of different schedules and different things...
Ahh, our crew...the old flyer downtown crew. How I miss those years, which were very good years and much support in my life.
Anyways, I flagged down Jos and gave her a hug, so good to see her as it has been a while, since my busy schedule with coaching and my world turning around in the past 2-3 years...it has been crazy!
They told me that they couldn't chat too long as they were late and they just came from Central Park which was beautiful and was a winter wonderland...they told me to go! So I was convinced. They told me that they were doing Paris, as I shooed them off.
So...basically, changed my thoughts. I would venture up to Central Park, but would I go all the way around? Nah...ok, I decided to go midway and go all the way up to 72nd street (where I saw all of these kids sledding down the hill and having so much fun!) By that point, all I wanted to do was get home...not because of the snow, the cold...but because of my blister. I could have ran another 6-8 miles to complete my 20 miles...but the hunger (no water) and blister was getting to me.
Up to 72nd street, cross into Central Park, make my way around the lower loop and then done...
But right when I entered Central Park, no joke! It was beautiful! Seriously a winter wonderland where everyone was out enjoying the beautiful sunny weather, the fresh snow and the pure beauty of nature. It was outstanding!
I made my way around the lower loop just seeing everyone so happy and just taking pictures...decided to take a few pictures of my own.
Almost home!
I finished up running a total of 15 miles...not bad for a person who had a blister at mile 5...
Also, I have been practicing my stair climbing as last week really scared me with the whole Kelly Ripa fiasco, so my regular boston or rather marathon training had to wait.
It was a nice winter wonderland today...pretty perfect day out!
Pictures, soon to follow.

OH! And a new giveaway. Check it out below the review of GLOW. It's got a soonish end date.
GLOW by Amy Kathleen Ryan
Goodreads Summary: What if you were bound for a new world, about to pledge your life to someone you'd been promised to since birth, and one unexpected violent attack made survival—not love—the issue?
Out in the murky nebula lurks an unseen enemy: the New Horizon. On its way to populate a distant planet in the wake of Earth's collapse, the ship's crew has been unable to conceive a generation to continue its mission. They need young girls desperately, or their zealous leader's efforts will fail. Onboard their sister ship, the Empyrean, the unsuspecting families don't know an attack is being mounted that could claim the most important among them...
Fifteen-year-old Waverly is part of the first generation to be successfully conceived in deep space; she was born on the Empyrean, and the large farming vessel is all she knows. Her concerns are those of any teenager—until Kieran Alden proposes to her. The handsome captain-to-be has everything Waverly could ever want in a husband, and with the pressure to start having children, everyone is sure he's the best choice. Except for Waverly, who wants more from life than marriage—and is secretly intrigued by the shy, darkly brilliant Seth.
But when the Empyrean faces sudden attack by their assumed allies, they quickly find out that the enemies aren't all from the outside
I know what you're thinking. Space travel to create a new world? Um, doesn't this sound like ACROSS THE UNIVERSE? I don't know, maybe you're not thinking that, but let's say you are. Okay, yes, it does share a common concept, but it's not exactly a new concept. It's all about the execution, i.e. the clever unfolding of the story. Right?
The good news is GLOW has a pretty kicking storyline. It holds its own, and beyond the first page, similarities really fade away. I was hooked from the beginning, and I have to tell you, did not see the twists in this coming. Taking its cues from pretty much most of YA lately, GLOW is a bit of a genre buster. It's got a space opera feel as well as a strong dystopian element with a hint of Lord of the Flies slash Matched--BUT, it's faster paced than either one of those with a love triangle that...isn't. It's a sort of coming of age story dropped into the middle of a survival book--where survival is a constant quest...in space.
The story is actually told from two points of view, but it's not constantly alternating. You see a block of time occur in one POV, and then a block of time occur in another. But the important thing is it works. The sections weren't jarring, each section just the right length to make you anxious to see the other POV. And I never stopped to think, "I wish this were in the other person's POV." Really well thought out.
Most of all, I was impressed by how much GLOW made me stop and think. It indirectly presents ideas, and then, as if listening to a debate, you get to see contrary ideas that seemed just as valid. Boils down to where you're standing and what you stand to gain or lose. Talk about verisimilitude in science fiction.
But when I say science fiction, I don't mean it in the hard sense. GLOW is really accessible. A lot of cool, realistic futuristic concepts, but there's a strong emphasis on characterization. Love, hate, hopes, dreams, loss, humanity, inhumanity, greed, loneliness, desperation, and above all, an unquenchable need to continue existing. This is what any good YA-space-opera-dystopian-survivalist love story is all about. I, for one, am digging the genre busting, but I'm especially taken with GLOW.
CLICK HERE to win an ARC of GLOW
This giveaway is international and ends Sunday, September 18, midnight EST. You must be 13 years old to enter. If you win, you will need to provide an address for shipment. Under 18's must have parent/guardian permission to enter.
Full of romance, mysticism, and intrigue, this dark take on Navajo legend will haunt readers to the final page.
Just as a side note, this is actually the third cover I've seen for this book. The first was a girl facing a cheetah head on. The second was a shot of a girl from the back with the braid morphing into a snake. And then this one. And I must say, I like this one best. It suits Maggie's personality well. Her eyes really say it all, revealing the depth of sorrow within her as well as her fierce determination.
Which brings me to my first point. One of the greatest qualities of SHIFTING is that it isn't afraid to go there. In SHIFTING, we see a foster child who has faced abuse and real hardship. And through it all, her reactions to her life feel real. She's not artificially wise, capable of adult-level introspection . When she buys a pretty outfit--from Wal-Mart--she feels glamorous because it's new. And she's not ashamed of wearing charity clothes. You know what they say--it's not until Eve was made to feel ashamed that she was aware of her nudity. And her foster mother, as kind as she is, isn't made of money either. SHIFTING bypasses the old cliché of the poor kid getting taken in by the rich family and given a new lease on life. At times I cringed, wanting so much to give this girl a hug. She's really suffered, and yet, she's really strong regardless.
And that's not even getting into the paranormal aspect of the story. If you read the summary, or...eh hmm...the title, you know Maggie's a shapeshifter. But not just any shapeshifter. SHIFTING has a clever new spin on the whole concept, incorporating the Navajo legend of the skinwalkers--also given a clever twist. What's more, Maggie's reactions to the shapeshifting ability feel truly genuine. It made for some pretty humorous scenes. There were some sad ones, too, as well as a bit of youthful drama that you would expect in YA, all of it adding richness to the story and making Maggie feel like more of a 3D character.
Did I mention the romance? Because there's that, too. But that doesn't come any more easily to Maggie than the shapeshifting. Bridger's got his own secrets, which adds to the tension, and as the summary says, the intrigue. There's a great mystery and a certain level of darkness that stems from her difficult past, her troubled present and unknown future in love and shapeshifting. You can't help but feel pulled in. SHIFTING is a fairly quick, enjoyable read with surprising twists and a clever new spin on old ideas.

Just a few days ago I discovered Codility, and I tried their challenges. And I must say. I got my behind handed to me on a platter. I'm not sure what the problem was, but I'll lick my wounds and wait for the solution to come out and compare it with my own. In the meantime, I want to get ready for the next challenge so I'm reading their previous blog posts and seeing how to solve their previous problems. There are a lot of new things I haven't heard about like (Cartesian trees, various sort algorithms, etc.)
So, how does one prepare for such challenges (especially the O(x) time and space complexity). What should I read to prepare for such a task?

New Bathymetric Map of Mona Passage, Northeastern Caribbean, Aids in Earthquake- and Tsunami-Hazard Mitigation
The Mona Passage between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic in the northeastern Caribbean is an area long known for its strong and shifting currents, abundant marine mammals and fish, and pirates and smugglers. All are there because the Mona Passage is an area of shallow banks over which a vigorous exchange of waters takes place between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The Mona Passage is also the site of a devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit western Puerto Rico in 1918, and the site of frequent small earthquakes. Prompted by the likelihood of further tsunamis and earthquakes, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) undertook the task of mapping in detail the sea floor under the waters of the Mona Passage, to identify active faults and submarine landslides and to better understand their underlying causes.
Mapping of the sea floor was carried out aboard the NOAA ship Nancy Foster between March 14 and 26, 2007. The data were collected by using a Simrad EM-1002 multibeam-sonar system in water depths of 50 to 1,000 m. Multibeam-sonar systems emit acoustic (sound) energy in a fan shape that sweeps over a swath of sea floor as the ship moves forward. The time it takes for echoes to return to the system is used to calculate the depth to closely spaced points within overlapping swaths. During the March cruise, data were processed in near-real time to create a 30-m. grid (in which all the measurements within each 30- by 30-m cell were averaged to a single value) over about 4,200 km2 of the sea floor. These data were added to multibeam bathymetric data collected previously by the USGS and NOAA in deeper waters to produce an image of sea-floor topography over a broad area (totaling approximately 164,200 km2) around Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rico Trench. (Information about some of the earlier mapping is available in Sound Waves article "Mapping of the Puerto Rico Trench, the Deepest Part of the Atlantic, is Nearing Completion") To aid with interpretation, the data were also entered into a geographic-information-system (GIS) database, which includes additional types of data, and were displayed as three-dimensional surfaces.
First results show a rift zone that extends westward from southern Puerto Rico and overprints an older and partly eroded tilted-block structure. This rift and an additional fault system extending westward from northwestern Puerto Rico are probably the only currently active faults. The map also unexpectedly revealed abundant evidence for concentrated water flow through certain parts of the passage and erosion of the underlying rocks. The important contribution of ocean currents to shaping the sea-floor topography of the passage through massive erosion of the carbonate platform and creation of conspicuous flow marks and sand waves could only be appreciated through these new high-resolution data.
The scientists and crew got an intimate look at the sea floor under the Mona Passage by hiking, swimming, and diving around Mona Island, a pristine nature reserve on an uplifted piece of the sea floor in the middle of the passage. The scientific party on board included Uri ten Brink, Bill Danforth, Brian Andrews, and Claudia Flores from the USGS Woods Hole Science Center; Jason Chaytor from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution; Chris Chamberlin from NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory; Brooke McMahon from NOAA's Office of Coastal Survey; and Kelly Carignan from NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center. Special thanks are due to Commander James Verlaque and the crew of the Nancy Foster for their professional support and friendly conduct, to Melissa (Missy) Partyka and Lieutenant Junior Grade Tracy Hamburger for their scientific support, and to Lieutenant Commander Alan Hilton for his logistical support.

Lauren Conrad has a dream life: She's got killer style, a gorgeous fashion line for Kohl's, and she's the author of eight books, but like every normal girl, insecurity still creeps into her dreams.
"Everybody has the naked dream. Regularly. It's either the naked dream or the completely under-dressed dream, like I showed up to prom in a potato sack kind of dream," the 27-year-old admitted to omg! at an event for Downy fabric softener and her LC Lauren Conrad fashion line.
Since The Beauty Department blogger is usually covered up in designer threads (instead of hitting red carpets in the nude), we asked her to dish on her favorite trends right now, how she'll dress her tots someday, and what her style was really like as a kid.
Where do you get your style inspiration?
Whether it's shopping for myself or working on my lines, I have always gravitated to what I like. I like pretty, girly things, soft colors, floral prints, and bows. Certain things, especially when it comes to clothes, just make me happy so that's kind of how it developed.
Did you like that style when you were a kid?
No, I was super tomboy.
When did like the transformation happen?
Very slowly! Even in high school, I wasn't a tomboy, but I definitely didn't dress overly feminine.
Would you say you dressed like a surfer chick?
Yeah, it was much more laid back. I think when I started getting the opportunity to go to events where I could put on some high heels and a dress [things changed]. I thought if I am going to do it then I just should because I am not sure how many events I am going to get to go to. So I would just wear the big bow or the pretty dress and it just never went away.
Who's style advice do you trust the most?
My friends. They are brutally honest. I don't always listen to them, but I trust that they think that.
What's one item in your closet that you refuse to part with?
I still have my shoes that I wore to high school formal my sophomore year. I will never wear them again, but they are just pretty to look at. They just remind me of feeling pretty that night, so I refuse to get rid of them.
What's one trend you wish you never tried?
In middle school, I wore the chokers. Remember those? They almost looked like a faux tattoo. Like the little, fitted, wired black ones. I wore those. It was terrible.
I wore them too – why were those even trendy?
I don't know. I feel like roles reversed, if I was my mother, I would have cut that thing off me so fast and been like, 'Not today.'
Down the road, would you nix your own kid's outfit if it were ugly?
No, probably not. My mother didn't always agree with my fashion choices, but I think that it is important to be an individual. If I could get away with wearing a tutu on a Tuesday I would do it, so let the kids do it.
What summer trends do you love?
I love a more casual take on lace, like more of the crochet and open work. It doesn't feel so fussy. It's summer so everything just gets to lighten up. I like the lighter white fabrics and everything that summer is about.
You always post summer snaps on Instagram. What's the trick to a good pic?
This sounds really nerdy. I think it's about composition. I used to take photography in high school… I apply the basic tricks they teach you know like the 1/3 rule.
We know you're a fan of Downy. Have you ever had any big laundry disasters?
Many. You know my biggest problem was shrinking clothes, like accidentally putting things like sweaters in the dryer. Have you ever shrunk a really good sweater, but it super shrinks, so it's like a child's sweater? It's such a bummer!

Police offer active shooter defense classes
Class aims to provide mental and physical tactics to survive an active shooter attack
In the wake of recent mass shootings, Springdale police will offer free active shooter defense classes Thursday.
The classes follow the A.L.I.C.E. strategy, which is an acronym for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate. Police said Tuesday they hope to keep people in a calm mindset if they ever encounter an active shooter.
"Knowledge is what we're trying to give people. Give people knowledge so they know what to do, so they've got the tools in the toolbox as to what to do given the situation," Lieutenant Derek Hudson said.
Police have already trained some local businesses in active shooter defense techniques. Employees at the Jones Center, where police will hold the classes said they feel more confident after the three-hour course.
"I can make a difference. I can make a difference by helping others, I can make a difference by knowing my role in the center and where my surroundings are," Joy Heuer, the membership director at the Jones Center said.
The classes examine past active shooter cases like the Portland mall shooting in December where a masked gunman killed two people.
"Sometimes you may have to fight. You may have to prepare yourself mentally and physically to know what to do in case you need to take down an intruder," Lt. Hudson said.
The next class March 21 from 1-4 p.m. at the Jones Center. Police said space is limited.
To sign up, email Sergeant Robert Sanchez at firstname.lastname@example.com

Interviews & Commentary on CCA Dismissal of Westwood
Yesterday, the Canadian Cycling Association announced that they would be eliminating the position of High Performance Director, and that Kris Westwood, who currently holds the position, would therefore be leaving the CCA as of September 30th. The reason given was a realignment of the High Performance sector prior to the Beijing Olympics next year.
The CCA has now seen the loss of three senior staff in the last 12 months - Chris Dodson (Director of Finance), Michel Leblanc (Mountain Bike Coach) and now Kris Westwood.
The duties of the High Performance Director included developing and coordinating the long term development of athletes for the High Performance program (ie, the national team).
We subsequently spoke with Kris Westwood and CCA CEO Lorraine Lafreniere about this shift in strategy.
"It is yet another difficult decision that we have had to make." agreed Lafreniere "but the High Performance Director (position) is just not necessary to get us to Beijing. Kris was our technical expert, but that role is not needed at this point. We will be holding a full review after Beijing, and will determine our needs at that time."
"It is the coaches who will make or break us in Beijing, and you will see more technical involvement (from them)."
Westwood agrees with that assessment: "From my perspective that is right; we are not creating talent between now and Beijing because all of the groundwork has been done for those Games."
Lafreniere insists that this staff reduction is not about a shortage of funding, "it is not a budget consideration. Of course, it frees up some funds, but it is not about being able to afford the position."
On the other hand, all sports have been impacted by a shift in funding from the Feds, which has seen money going into the 2010 Vancouver build up, as well as Sports Canada demanding that money go into specific, targeted disciplines where the highest possibilities lie for medals.
"We are still one of the better funded sports, but we have lost some funding in the last year" admits Lafreniere.
Under the realigned funding formula, cycling has received increased cash for BMX (because of Samantha Cools) and Mountain Bike (Marie-Helene Premont), but none for younger and developing athletes and programs which may bear fruit in 2012.
"The funding is now based on instant results," agrees Westwood "but that doesn't help turn Max Plaxton into a medal contender in London. Like other sports organizations, we have to try and be everything to everyone, but the (funding) support isn't there."
"There should be efforts concentrated with the younger riders; the Ryan Andersons and even the Catharine Pendrels. That will see value in 2012."
For the run up to Beijing, Westwood's responsibilities will be spread between the three national team coaches with the support of High Performance Manager, Sean O'Donnell. The CCA's coaches are Houshang Amiri, National Team Training Centre (West) in Victoria, BC; Vincent Jourdain, National Team Training Centre (East) in Bromont, Quebec; and, Tanya Dubnicoff, National BMX Coach, in Calgary, Alberta.
Houshang Amri will be responsible for Track and Mountain Bike disciplines, Vincent Jourdain for Para Cycling, Road and Cyclo-cross, while Tanya Dubnicoff will focus on BMX.
"Sean is a very good administrator," points out Lafreniere "and at this point we don't need another decision maker, but more administrative support for the coaches."
Westwood's last duty with the CCA will be at the Road Worlds in Stuttgart, Germany, although Lafreniere hopes to keep him involved in some capacity, possibly on a project basis.
"Absolutely, we would like to have Kris continue to contribute, it just has to be in the right areas."
"It's always a possibility," concedes Westwood "I'm still just as passionate about cycling as I have always been."
However, there is also a significant chance that Canadian cycling could once again lose a scarce resource - Westwood also mentioned the possibility of a return to the journalism career he was developing when he took his full time position with the CCA three years ago.
