Who needs Project Greenlight? (We heard it leads to a bad case of the Giglis, anyway.) A simple love of raucous punk 'n' roll, a raw cinematic eye and the California Employment Development Department have thus far served local filmmaker Ernie Quintero just fine.
Quintero has made a slew of videos for local bands (John Cougar Concentration Camp, Machinegun) and national acts (The Dwarves, New Bomb Turks). He recently filmed and produced a DVD for Seattle's Spits (available at www.thespits.com), and was contracted to film the three-day Chicago Blackout, an annual music festival sponsored by rock-'n'-porn rag, Horizontal Action. His first feature-length film, The Hurtin' Crue, was released in February 2003, and plans are in the works to film another this summer, called Toilet Paper Rocks.
Not bad for a 23-year-old punk whose formal film training includes a few community college classes on film history and another on non-linear digital editing. "My training was pretty much fucking around with friends, making skate videos and short films," he says.
Quintero's methods are textbook D.I.Y. He does all his filming and editing on minimal equipment, and Hurtin' Crue was funded entirely through his unemployment checks. "I use a three-chip digital camcorder and do all my editing on my pimped-out PC with Adobe Premiere. I also use a lot of beer when I edit film," he says, suggesting our taxpayer dollars occasionally go for a six-pack (note to Republicans: it's in the name of art, so chill.)
Quintero hopes The Spits DVD will provide some funding for his second film, but so far he's made very little money off his work. "I let bands know I make buttons and videos in exchange for cheap beer," he says of his efforts to cure chronic destitution.
"Hurtin' Crue took about three years of my life," he says. "Too much shit to describe went into it, but it was war and we won."
The Hurtin' Crue's soundtrack features music from many of the bands already mentioned, as well as the Makeout Boys and Minor Threat. Toilet Paper Rocks "is gonna be the shit, and the soundtrack is amazing," he says. "I have a lot of rad bands committed to the soundtrack and some that will also play live in the actual movie."
Most of Quintero's work has been live footage edited to a video track, but he's currently working on his first storyline video for local band, The Liquorice Quartet. To view his work or have him shoot your crappy band's video, contact him at unemployed@the hurtincrue.com.
On the eve of releasing their debut album, Near Mint, cheeky rockers Rookie Card have lost longtime bass player Jason Hee. A volatile lineup for years, Hee had been considered a permanent member. "It wasn't an easy decision to leave RC, but I felt that it was time to concentrate on one band," says Hee, noting he left to focus on his other project, The Buzzkill Romantics. "We're all good friends, which makes it really hard to leave Rookie Card right as we're about to put out our first full album." No word whether the stock of Hee's rookie card skyrocketed because of the announcement. If you wanna play bass for Rookie Card, e-mail frontman Adam Gimbel at rookies@ rookiecardthemovie.com
As sacrosanct as it sounds to some, law affects your band as soon as you leave the comfort of the family garage. Luckily, a few music fans who've passed the bar are giving it up for free. Musicians, actors and authors will have the opportunity to talk to a entertainment attorneys, gratis, when the San Diego Bar Association hosts "Free Legal Consultation for the Creative Mind," as part of Law Week 2004. The lawyers will be on hand from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 1, at Guitar Center La Mesa. They'll answer questions on record deals, copyrights and whatever else you wanna ask, including how to make sure Courtney Love doesn't gain control over your back catalogue.
North County bluegrass trio Nickel Creek are included in a new documentary released this month, called Bluegrass Journey, which was taped in 2000 at the Grey Fox Festival in New York. On Aug. 19, the trio will also appear along with Gillian Welch and Joan Baez on a new episode of long running PBS-TV show, Soundstage.
Jason Mraz' Sly & Robbie-produced "Curbside Prophet" will be included on the soundtrack for the new Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen flick, out this month.
Just in time for her return to the venue on June 14-15, savvy marketer Jewel has released Live at Humphrey's by the Bay, a concert DVD taped in 2001.
Local artist Jamilla Naji has self-released a children's book, Musical Storyland, which includes a series of paintings interpreting some of David Bowie's mid-'60s songs. In perhaps the ultimate marketing ploy, Naji has included the songs with the book without Bowie's knowledge or consent, because the material is not owned or controlled by the legendary musician.

San Diego County Fair is trying to cull local talent this year with a series of contests. Amateur vocalists have until May 10 to register for the American Idol-esque Superstar contest, with top prizes including a trophy, cash, demo CD and an appearance on Fox in the Morning. The station's indie-music program, Fox Rox, will sponsor a Rock 'n' Roll Battle of the Bands, judged by the show's producer Scott Richison and host Troy Johnson (who is also CityBeat's A&E editor), among others. The deadline to enter is May 21.
Mike Stax' Ugly Things magazine expands this month into a label of the same name, starting with the release of an album of vintage material from '60s rockers The Misunderstood. They'll also release the second album by Stax' own band, The Loons. The recording is helmed by both Rocket from the Crypt's John Reis and Earthling Studios' Mike Kamoo.
North County's SBE Records has just released Friends for Life, a 10-song compilation featuring jazz acts Peter Sprague, Andy Villa-Boas and Blurring the Edges. Proceeds will benefit the Escondido Humane Society.
The Dragons might wanna just skip 2004. First, the lion's share of their tour with The Wildhearts was cancelled (because the Limeys wanted to tour with The Darkness... uh, OK, we don't blame 'em). Then their trusty van broke down, costing more than $2,000 in repairs. Help the local grease-rockers get back on the road by shelling out for their show at The Casbah on April 30. The band will tour Europe in June.
Jazz fans take note: saxophonist Joe Marillo will begin hosting free Sunday afternoon jam sessions at downtown's intimate Café Bassam starting at 4 p.m.
Singer-songwriter Cathyrn Beeks has decided to go digital and save costs on pressing albums. For $1.50 a tune, fans can choose from more than 60 of her songs on her website, and Beeks will ship out a hand-assembled disc with a personalized, four-panel insert the following day.

Yesterday (27th of April 2016) I had the pleasure of being part of the Australian Olympic Team's luggage reveal in Melbourne. Tucked away in a small alley way, Australian luggage legends Crumpler set up a spectacular scene for the release – complete with an athletics track made from fake grass! Throughout the day there was a lot of photos and interviews with TV Crews, Newspapers and the Crumpler team – and I even managed to score an interview with Adelaide radio station, FIVEaa (see below to listen!).
It was a great day and a wonderful experience that I don't think I'll forget any time soon! To top it all off, I somehow managed to make it into today's newspaper – have a read below and let me know what you think on Facebook and/or Twitter!

Families, aging individuals and lawyers often discuss issues related to the well-being and safe treatment of elders. But what responsibility does the investment industry have for supporting elder law issues? Investment companies and advisors in Delaware and across North America may have a role to play in supporting and protecting their clients from fraud or other abuses.
Technology and elder law can help aging people live comfortably
One of the most contentious issues in families is where aging family members should live. Conversations, external support and an understanding of elder law can all help in making these arrangements for elders and their families. Delaware seniors can also benefit from a variety of technological advancements to help them stay safe and cared for, especially if they wish to continue living alone at home.
More to estate planning than drafting a will
Many people think that preparing plans for their estate is merely a matter of drafting a will. However, this piece of paper alone may not complete the estate planning process for those preparing such plans in Delaware. It is important to regularly review the will, consult with experts and ensure all proper documents and clearances are prepared for an executor.
Tips for buying residential real estate for the first time
Buying a new home is a big undertaking for anyone. For those who are new to the residential real estate market in Delaware, the many professionals, prices and considerations involved can feel overwhelming. Keeping a few tips in mind will help the process go more smoothly.
What are the responsibilities of the executor of a will?
If you learned that you are the executor of a Delaware estate, you are likely wondering what that means and what your responsibilities will be. Knowing what is expected of you throughout this process can help you avoid complications and fulfill your duties in a reasonable manner and appropriate amount of time.

HR Japan (previously HR) present in Tokyo, Kumamoto and Bangkok, is doing an excellent job on Human Resources with their MEXT Japan certified project developed for Thai Universities.
Only 14 projects have been certified as MEXT Japan,and this is the only project run by a NPO holding this certificate. HR Japan, with the help of the Thai Ministry of Education and the Japanese Embassy in Thailand, carry out Japanese Business Workshops for Thai nationwide university students and provide them with WEB training. After doing the course, students have the opportunity to be linked with Japanese companies that are developing activities in Thailand to help them gain employment in these businesses.
In addition, employees working at the headquarters of the Japanese companies, travel to Thailand to work on Problem-based learning cases (PBL) with Thai university students.
The full cost of the programme is funded by the companies taking part on the project and these funds will also be used to support the university costs of students without resources.
Even though the unemployment rate is low in Thailand; only 1.20% of the labour force was without work in October 2016, the unemployment rate among young people is much higher reaching 5.50% of youngsters in the same period. This program is focused on young people and is helping them to achieve the knowledge necessary to enter the workforce in a sector that holds opportunities for them in the future.

The other day I was on FaceTime with my folks who were traveling in Australia. I was chatting with my mom about their recent adventures. In the background, I can see my dad who is on the floor doing planks, push ups, and kicking his legs up and down. I looked beyond my mom and asked "Hey Dad, what are you doing over there?" He replied. "My exercises, I do them everyday."
My parents are enjoying their retirement to the fullest, having moved to the Big Island of Hawaii, building their dream home, and living at Priest Lake in the summers. They take a big trip every year somewhere new and make sure to visit family and friends all over the country. They are 70 years old. My mother underwent heart surgery a year and a half ago and her doctor said to walk everyday to get her heart in shape. So my parents walk 4 to 5 miles everyday and Dad does his core exercises and stretches.
When many boomers are feeling the effects of their age and finding it harder to get around, I notice the ones doing the best haven't lived fast and hard lives, but have managed to do little things every day to stay healthy. They have maintained a sense of discipline for their health and longevity.
I am one of those people that is fairly disciplined. When I decide I want something, I pencil it out, make a plan, and stick to it. I hit road bumps along the way and make sure to adjust, but I always keep going. Being self-disciplined is not something that is easy. There is nothing sexy or interesting about routine or sameness. Everyone loves the excitement of a new challenge, but many of us "peter out" when we get to the middle of the road.
Now in my 40s there is nothing more middle of the road than where I am now with so much life behind me and still so much ahead. What am I doing everyday? Where am I going? How does discipline show up in my life? For me it shows up in movement everyday. Doing something physical like Pilates, Yoga, or walking. I do it partly to stay in shape but mostly because it's also a way to find my center and stay grounded.
Taking a long walk gives me time to clear my mind and work through problems. Breathing deeply in a yoga class gives me a chance to be mindful and present. Practicing Pilates builds my strength and energizes me without making me tired.
I think discipline is a tough thing to do when there are so many distractions and choices out there. With the ease of everything being so accessible, it's harder to be disciplined. Once something gets a little challenging our tendency is to bail and find something else. With so many choices, there is a multitude of options out there that may or may not be better than our current routine. So we bounce from one fad to another, losing the disciplinary routine needed for good health both body and mind.
Yet throughout history discipline was a way of living and the key to our survival. How would we survive a cold and long winter if we didn't stock pile foods and wood for fires, or plan for spring if we didn't tend our soil? And we had to do this every year, day in and day out to survive.
I admit, that sometimes even when I face challenges I just want to quit and do something different, but I am reminded that discipline comes in many forms. It is mind and body. Attitude is what makes it work. Instead of always searching for a specific outcome, we should see it as a way of life and being present and taking care. It creates an environment of well-being. Discipline isn't about the immediate gratification, but more of a daily reminder of what is good and pleasant in our lives, whether we reap a reward immediately or not from it. If you were to take a survey of the most successful people in the world, you would find this common thread. They all have a fair amount of discipline.
In facing challenges it is this that keeps us moving forward. It allows for growth and gaining skill in any endeavor we face. With discipline comes accomplishment and allows us to improve ourselves, our minds, and our environments. It's not just a boring routine.
Even as my father is doing his push ups, I am reminded of how 20 minutes of disciplined exercise every morning and long walks has not only kept him in shape, but also happy.
So how does discipline show up in your life?

Longway Tavern opened on Toulouse Street in the French Quarter in May. That's barely enough time to get a few scrapes on the varnish. But still, the word new doesn't seem to fit.
The word that comes to mind here is next.
Longway Tavern was developed with unmistakably modern style in a snug Creole cottage with a very old lineage, reaching back to the 18th century. This bar and restaurant is just the next chapter.
What makes it stand out is the way the people behind it have embraced that idea.
Longway Tavern is a good place to get a drink. Cocktails are well-made and straightforward. The wine list is interesting, and the beer keeps it simple (Guinness pints and High Life mugs are the only drafts).
It's a good place to eat too, with an original menu that could fit at an ambitious restaurant but also furnishes snacks for easy noshing and keeps it coming until midnight.
The setting is everything.
The design work and renovation that led to Longway Tavern seem more centered on revealing than transforming. It shows in the building's old bones and the dimensions of its spaces, in its courtyard between the rooftops of adjacent townhouses, in the way its doors and multi-pane windows frame the people and mosaic details and street scenes of the French Quarter just outside.
Mostly, it's the way this tavern connects past and present, that relationship with time that is the allure of the French Quarter all over.
Old frame, new lens
Longway Tavern is hardly the only place treading this path in the city's historic heart.
But it is the latest and it helps cast a light on why the French Quarter needs more like it, more places that are enticing and relevant to New Orleans people, not just New Orleans visitors.
The tavern is run by LeBlanc + Smith, a local hospitality company with a track record for blending contemporary tastes with evocative New Orleans settings (see its restaurant Sylvain near Jackson Square or Cavan on Magazine Street).
More casual than a lounge, its design and approach are still more polished and intentional than a dive. The hurly-burly of Bourbon Street is just a few doors away, but Longway Tavern is not geared toward lowest common denominator calculations.
The Quarter must have its storied old classics and it must have its joints. It also must have bars and restaurants (or, in this case, a tavern that splits the difference) that exude a New Orleans sense of place while reflecting how the next generation interprets this cultural inheritance.
Every generation makes a mark on the French Quarter, one way or another. Just around the corner, on Bourbon Street, you can still see the high tide mark that a previous one left in the 1980s-era script of neon.
Longway Tavern is what happens when you take the current revival of freshness and craft, add deliberate notions of a modern hospitality culture and set them in an old French Quarter frame.
Interpreting authentic
The kitchen here is led by chef John Sinclair. The pork shoulder steak with broccoli raab and a touch of chili heat is your bistro-worthy dinner at the bar. Against all expectations, I've developed a craving for the succotash with its crispy cake of whipped tofu. The calamari is as good as any I've had in New Orleans.
There's no burger, but the thin-sliced steak sandwich on crackling-crisp baguette is a welcome alternative, and the salty-sour boquerones next to a glass of beer always reminds me of a tapas bar. The radish dish — halved, salted, served with goat butter and caviar — is too dainty for the tavern setting.
The design and concept for Longway Tavern was directed by its proprietors, Liam Deegan and Róbert LeBlanc, the founder of LeBlanc + Smith.
As it came together, they have talked convincingly about living up to the heritage of the building they took over and developing something here with character and authenticity.
That can be a fraught idea, authenticity. Just bringing it up can sometimes invite ridicule. But it's inherent to the city's great eating and drinking places, and you can also feel when it's absent.
Of course, it changes from one to the next. What is authentic at Arnaud's or Napoleon House or Tujague's is fidelity to a long history and character honed over time. What is authentic for Molly's at the Market or Harry's Corner or the Chart Room has been accumulated and weathered through successive tides of regulars.
What's authentic for a tavern that just opened has to be different. Here, it means a modern expression of the way New Orleans eats, drinks and convenes today while remaining mindful of the history that got us here.
Ultimately, like any business, the clientele will dictate what Longway Tavern will be by the way they use it. That interplay is what keeps all the great French Quarter places vibrant instead of just aging curiosities.
This spot will surely change with time (there's already a plan to replace the fixed bar stools, bolted to the floor, with moveable ones).
But when there's an idea of stewardship built in from the start, I'm ready to raise a glass.

Back in February — a year after construction crews broke ground — DeKalb County posted what officials tout as one of the premier jobs of the public school system: principal of the new Arabia Mountain High School.
Set to open next August, the high school will be one of Georgia's first public school campuses certified under a national rating system for environmental construction and one of the few — if not only — with an environmentally themed curriculum. Thursday, system officials find out who wants the principal's job as they begin to review at least 109 applications from across the country.

For me, decisions are SO hard to make. I don't like to fail and I always have trouble deciding things easy and hard. Finals are coming up and this week I have a paper, final project, one test, and one final due. I have been a little stressed, but the good news is that after this week I only have one final left and then I am done for the semester (which is crazy, but that's for another post) I am so excited, yet nervous at the same time. In order to get rid of this stress I decided to start early that way I wouldn't be cramming. Today we had the game and then tonight we had a little get together and I knew that I couldn't do both and be truly ready for this crazy week. I decided that as bad as I wanted to go to the game, I would want to do stuff Saturday night. So as bad as I hated it, I made the decision to skip the game and work on some stuff. I was real mad at myself when everyone was posting pictures at the game, but then when the night rolled around I was pretty happy because I got the paper and the project done and I didn't have stress in my head that would cause me to not enjoy myself. My friend, Trank, said that she was proud of me for making that good decision and I agree. It would have been so easy to do nothing all day, but instead I made this decision and it is already paying off. I am growing up y'all and I am so thankful that I made that decision. It is always so nice to make a good decision because in the end it has the best outcome. So even though I would have really loved to be at that game, sometimes we have to make sacrifices that of course aren't fun, but in the end it hopefully will turn out okay. It is hard and part of life to make these decisions and I am so thankful that I feel like I am doing the right thing. This is part of God's plan for us and we all have to think about that in order to really grow up in life. I am so thankful that I feel like I am doing something right! Prayers please as I start this week and prayers for a great ending to a great first semester. Remember to be thankful always, but especially thankful during this holiday season. Making a good decision can often be hard, but in the end we will all be thankful for what we take from the outcome!
Yours Truly,
Southern and Thankful

In 2017, Dr. David Sinclair and his team identified a critical step in the molecular process that facilitates the repair of DNA damage [1]. We experience DNA damage on a daily basis from sunlight and other environmental sources.
DNA damage is thought to contribute to the rising risk of cancer as we age and is implicated in various age-related diseases. Our cells have the innate ability to repair that damage, but, unfortunately, that ability to repair declines as we grow older.
In a 2017 study, the researchers identified that the metabolite NAD+, which occurs naturally in every single cell in our body, has a critical role in DNA repair by regulating the protein-to-protein interactions involved in that process.
They found that treating mice with the NAD+ precursor known as NMN boosted the cells' ability to repair DNA damage caused by aging or radiation exposure.
"The cells of the old mice were indistinguishable from the young mice after just one week of treatment," said lead author Professor David Sinclair of UNSW School of Medical Sciences and Harvard Medical School Boston.
As well as boosting DNA repair, it has also been established that NAD+ activates all seven of the sirtuins, which are genes associated with longevity and health.
The next step is to take NMN to human clinical trials, which could potentially lead to the development of the first therapy that directly targets the aging processes to combat age-related diseases and ill health.

Chile de Arbol Infused Bloody Marys
Draft, Mission Beach
4.5 🍅's
Do you love the beach and bloody marys? Well, if you live in San Diego there is an abundance of places where you can get both! One of my favorite spots for both is Draft, in Mission Beach. Draft was one of the stops I chose for my Bloody Mary Tour of San Diego with Shelley, from The Drunken Tomato; their bloody mary is exceptional!
The Draft bloody mary is a thick consistency, bright red in color, and served in a mason jar. The plentiful spices are visible from the jar and I couldn't wait to take a sip! On the first sip, my mouth was instantly greeted with a burst of flavor. Garlic and black pepper were prevalent from the spices and there is subtle horseradish, all that opened my airways. The thicker and saltier tomato base made this bloody rich and savory.
The wow factor in this bloody mary is the chile de arbol infused vodka. Chile de arbol peppers bring a perfect amount of heat (hotter than jalapenos but milder than cayenne) and have acidic properties that help balance out the cocktail. Chile de arbol peppers are grassy and nutty in flavor and have a searing heat that brings the house-made mix to life. I really appreciate the unique infusion of the Draft Bloody.
Topping off this Bloody Mary is a Baja meal on a stick. The meal includes a generous pepperoni slice, jalapeno, pickled carrot, pepper jack cheese, lime wedge and a kosher salt rim. The next best part besides the chile de arbol vodka? Make it a bloody chelada for only $2.00! You'll get the cutest Dos Equis pony to go with it.
Draft was a great spot to end day one of our bloody mary tour of San Diego; ocean views, great people watching, 60 plus beers on tap, sports on all TVs (including their giant projector screen) and one of the best bloody marys in San Diego!
For a list of the best bloody marys in San Diego, including this one, check this out!

An extremely rare and dangerous storm will turn in from the Atlantic, affecting 60 million people in its path and could lead to billions of dollars in damage.
Hurricane Sandy is forecast by AccuWeather.com to slam into New Jersey Monday evening.
Coastal inundation and damaging wind will occur in the Garden State and the New York metropolitan area. However, damaging and life-threatening impact from the giant, powerful storm will reach as far inland as the central Appalachians and will span the coast from North Carolina to southern New England.
Conditions will deteriorate through Sunday night with the worst of the storm raging Monday into Tuesday.
Sandy will weaken over land at midweek, but conditions will remain adverse throughout the Northeast, eastern Great Lakes and upper Ohio Valley.
Ripple-effect flight delays and cancellations are possible over a large part of the nation, as the storm will target major airports from Boston to Washington, D.C., with New York and Philadelphia in the middle. Many aircraft originate from or travel to these hubs on a daily basis.
Impacts from heavy rain and wind will be felt hundreds of miles inland and the power in some neighborhoods could be out for days.
Storm Surge Flooding
Storm surge flooding will occur over a much larger area, when compared to a hurricane and more severe than a typical nor'easter. It is likely to be more than just a few waves over washing the seawall in the hardest-hit areas.
Sandy has the potential to bring historic storm surge flooding near and north of the center.
There is the potential from central New Jersey to New York City and western Long Island have some of their worst coastal flooding on record with Sandy tracking into New Jersey.
Communities, neighborhoods, roads, rail yards, subway stations and other low-lying areas near the coast, generally north of the track can take on feet of salt water.
AccuWeather.com meteorologists are expecting a storm surge of 5 to 10 feet, but locally higher levels are possible near and just north of the storm track.
The full moon during the afternoon of Monday, Oct. 29, will add to high tide levels spanning the 28th through the 30th.
Near-coast waves will average 10 to 15 feet, while seas well offshore will range from 30 to 40 feet.
High Winds, Power Outages and Downed Trees
Damaging wind gusts will reach from Boston to Washington, D.C., and inland to the central Appalachians. Sandy will not be your typical hurricane when it moves in from the southeast. Hurricanes are small and compact.
Sandy will be more like a large nor'easter on steroids. It could have the impact of a Category 2 hurricane. Tropical storm wind gusts will extend out hundreds of miles from the center, so focusing on the center alone in terms of the severity for wind and rain is not recommended.
A extended period of wind gusts between 40 and 60 mph is forecast for two days, which will take its toll on structures, trees and power lines.
There is the potential for tens of thousands of trees to be downed and millions of utility customers could be without power at some point. Flying debris, including airborne panes of glass in the larger cities will pose a danger. Some secondary roads could be blocked by trees. Depending on the landscape, such as heavily wooded areas, the power could be out for a week or more.
Inland Flooding
Flash, urban and small steam flooding from rainfall will also be a significant impact. Sandy has the potential to bring over a half of a foot of rain to some areas on its west, northwest and north flanks.
Places in Delaware, southern New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania--including Philadelphia--could top Sandy's rainfall totals with more than 8 inches expected.
Fallen leaves will block storm drains in some towns and cities. Small streams will immediately rise in response to the rainfall.
Enough cold air will wrap into Sandy's far western side to bring heavy, wet snow to the mountains from northern North Carolina to southwestern Pennsylvania Monday into Wednesday. It is possible that snow zone extends northward to extreme western New York.
Snowfall should top a foot in the higher terrain of West Virginia.
Central and northern New England will be spared the worst of the storm due to the forecast track well to the south. However, there will be problems with strong wind gusts, heavy rain, coastal flooding and beach erosion. These conditions will trend more serious heading west along the South coast.
Eastern North Carolina will be spared the worst as well with the storm making landfall over New Jersey. However, north to northeast winds will bring above-normal tides and coastal flooding concerns to the Outer Banks. Strong, gusty winds can also cause power outages during and in the wake of the storm for a time.

The Nee Soon Swamp Forest (NSSF) represents the only freshwater swamp forest left in Singapore. Despite being only 5km2 in size, it consists of an extensive diversity of aquatic fauna. Freshwater prawns play an important ecological role in many tropical streams. Hence, their abundance and distribution in the NSSF is crucial. An 8-week period (January 2017 to March 2017) survey was conducted in the NSSF using traps to study the population of freshwater prawns in the area. The results showed the presence of two species. Macrobrachium malayanum and Macrobrachium sundaicum. Habitat characterisation done showed that pH strongly affects the presence or absence of M. sundaicum. It also showed that M. malayanum has a widespread distribution in the NSSF. Comparison with a previous study showed a declining rate in the distribution of M. sundaicum in the NSSF. Hence, the aim of this study is to update the status of freshwater prawns in the NSSF and to better understand the factors influencing biodiversity of freshwater prawns.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro spoke publicly for the first time on Tuesday about the prosecution of fraternity members in the hazing death of Penn State student Tim Piazza. Shapiro detailed why, after completing an "independent and comprehensive" review, his office is fighting to reinstate involuntary manslaughter charges against five defendants and drop those charges against some others.
The Attorney General's office announced last week that they had filed an appeal to Centre County Magisterial District Judge Allen Sinclair's dismissal of charges against eight defendants, including involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment.
At Tuesday's press conference that number was down to five. Shapiro said he's seeking reinstatement of involuntary manslaughter charges against Brendan Young, Daniel Casey, Jonah Neuman, Gary Dibileo and Luke Visser.
"We believe the elements of involuntary manslaughter were clearly met, when applied to the actions of those five defendants," Shapiro said.
He said the prosecution's four-month review determined that those five defendants planned and participated in hazing, were aware of Tim Piazza's fall and failed to get Piazza the help he needed.
"We concluded that some, though not all, of the charges that were initially dismissed in 2017 and refiled prior to our involvement warranted our continued effort to pursue on behalf of the commonwealth and the Piazza family," Shapiro said. "This included involuntary manslaughter charges pertaining to five of the defendants and reckless endangerment and conspiracy charges against many others."
Shapiro said he's confident that charges will be reinstated and his office will "use whatever legal tools we have" to proceed with the case.
President Judge of the Centre County Court of Common Pleas Pamela Ruest will make a decision on the appeal. Previously, she supported Sinclair's dismissal last September. Shapiro said, if necessary, his office will take the issue to the Superior Court of Pennsylvania.
Another preliminary hearing in this case regarding 12 new defendants will head to court on Wednesday. They were charged last November by former Centre County District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller, who brought involuntary manslaughter and aggravated assault charges against five of these 12.
These 12 will no longer face those severe charges, but instead relatively minor items including hazing and furnishing.
He also urged the Pennsylvania legislature to pass the anti-hazing bill named after Tim Piazza, introduced by state Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman and supported by the Piazzas and Penn State. The bill passed the Senate in April.
Piazza's father Jim spoke briefly and thanked the AG's office for "not giving up."

Early on the morning of her eleventh birthday, on the beach beside her North Carolina home, Daria Cato receives an unbelievable gift from the sea—an abandoned newborn baby. When the infant's identity cannot be uncovered, she is adopted by Daria's loving family. But her silent secrets continue to haunt Daria.
Now, twenty years later, Shelly has grown into an unusual, ethereal young woman whom Daria continues to protect. But when Rory Taylor, a friend from Daria's childhood and now a television producer, returns at Shelly's request to do a story about the circumstances surrounding her birth, something precarious shifts in the small town of Kill Devil Hills.
The more questions Rory asks, the more unsettled the tiny community becomes, as closely guarded secrets and the sins of that long-ago summer begin to surface. Piece by piece, the mystery of summer's child is being exposed, a mystery that no one involved—not Shelly, Daria, not even Rory—is prepared to face.
Thank you to Harlequin Mira for kindly sending me a review copy. It was unexpected and I couldn't wait to read it as it was my first read of Diane's novels.
At age 11, Daria finds a new born baby on the beach. She doesn't seem to acknowledge what has happened at first and I couldn't help but wonder what she was hiding. The narrative quickly moves on to 22 years later and readers are left with a big gap of unanswered questions. What has occurred since then?
Every chapter is crucial in this book. The big 'who is the mother' secret is kept until the ideal moment, but I have to be honest, I really wasn't surprised. The build up was weak and lacked a grip. It wasn't obvious who the mother was, but I sat reading the book and it had no effect on me at all. I wasn't shocked, or surprised. I found myself finishing the book still with a lot of unanswered questions.
For me, the dialogue spoilt the book. There were a lot of unrealistic and dramatic conversations which threw me away from the main plot line.
I really wish I had enjoyed it more, but sadly, I didn't.

No, it's not the annoying sound fake nails make on the table when someone's tapping nervously, though it does grate on the nerves just as badly.
Those damn middle school cliques.
We consider ourselves endlessly blessed that Bear hangs with a strictly no drama llama crowd. She loves her friends, she loves her team, and overall I'd say middle school is off to a good start. But a middle school without girl cliques only exist in another dimension and we're stuck smack dab in this one.
This means that occasionally my no drama llama shows up hating her hair or her clothes (yes, all of them) or the fact that she doesn't own twenty pairs of shoes. She doesn't look like everyone else (hello, that's a good thing) or have those name brand labels or is rolling in dollas.
In other words, she's normal. And normal tends to clash with cliques.
I have this recurring dream where I get to go into the middle school and meet with girls. No, not a brass knuckles sort of meeting…but maybe if we could just sit them in a room…small groups, facing each other without their posse to hide behind, talking honestly until we chip away at some of the walls these girls build around themselves…well, maybe we could make some progress with the cliques.
Linda's stream of consciousness post is our Saturday fun. This week's prompt was to use a word with "liqu" in it.

Theoretically, WordPress is simply an additional method of placing your site on the internet. Therefore, theoretically, SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION with regard to WordPress ought to be susceptible to exactly the same guidelines which utilize somewhere else. As well as, for an degree, that is accurate. However there are several delicate (and not subtle) variations you'll want to be familiar with to make certain that your own WordPress website is really as nicely optimised with regard to the various search engines as possible.
WordPress by itself is able to end up being prolonged along with "plugins" which connect to the center associated with WordPress as well as permit you to perform just about anything by using it.
Should you have not currently carried out therefore, you need to set up a good SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION plugin.
There are a number of those obtainable however the marketplace innovator presently may be the 1 through Yoast, merely known as WordPress SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION. It is nicely backed as well as frequently up-to-date, that are each excellent indicators specifically for something which you are going to end up being having faith in your web achievement in order to.
Once you have set up your selected SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION plugin, you will observe that numerous additional containers seem about the locations exactly where a person include articles or even webpages aimed at your website.
The actual purchase of those containers will be different based on your selected plugin however they includes:
Your own focus on keyword. This really is optionally available however it enables the actual plugin to exhibit a person exactly how nicely your own web page is actually optimised for your specific keyword therefore I would suggest that a person total the actual appropriate container. Additionally, it has got the benefit when a person return to the actual web page within a couple weeks or even several weeks, you will not need to depend on your own storage by what you had been focusing on!
Your own web page name. Various WordPress styles manage game titles in a number of methods and do not usually display the perfect web page name in order to the various search engines. A good SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION plugin requires back again this particular manage to ensure that you aren't trapped using the default choice distributed by your selected style.
Meta explanation: this really is once again backed through various styles in various methods. It's not hard to disregard since it does not really display about the web page in your website. However it will impact exactly how your own web page turns up within the Search engines outcomes along with the default textual content that's put in the actual appropriate containers whenever your web page is actually discussed upon websites such as Tweets as well as Myspace.
Presently there may also be other available choices — perhaps concealed within an "advanced" area — which will let you know other activities as well as permit you to very easily good melody the way in which that the WordPress articles as well as webpages appear.
It is really worth discovering individuals other available choices, even though these people appear challenging in the beginning. There are many lessons close to that will assist to describe something that does not at first seem sensible. However simply because many people do not delve which much in to points, it is usually secure in order to depart these types of from their own default configurations.
So far as plug ins proceed, that is most likely just about all you must do.
Another stuff that have to occur would be the exact same with regard to WordPress because they tend to be for just about any additional web site: ensuring your own web page content material is actually top quality, that you simply revise your website frequently, and so on.

The Benefits of Hiring a Residential Painter
It is not disputable that hiring a residential painter is one of the most important decisions you will ever make.They will help you create that home that you have always envied.These are the homes you have viewed in commercials found in the pages of magazines.Doing the paintwork yourself might not be the best of decisions. Following are some of the advantages of letting a professional do your painting.
Painting your own home might make it stand out for all the wrong reasons. The end result will be that your house will end up losing its value.An amateur paint job is easy to spot from miles away. The product may be very different from what you had in mind.However, when you sit down with an expert they are able to take your ideas and make tangible improvements to your ideas.
The painter will prove very useful when it comes to painting areas that are more likely than not to be neglected if you personally paint your home. The roof and under the stairs are some of such vulnerable areas.They will also use very specialized equipment so as to get to the very hard to reach areas with ease. You risk one or two broken bones if you try to do this on your own.
Another advantage is that you are likely to benefit from the discounts.These are goodies that your local painters receive from suppliers since they buy in bulk. More often than not, all the cost benefits will end at the desk of the homeowner, ensuring that the home is actually painted at a cheaper price than your initial projection.This also applies to equipment which you might buy and afterward collects dust in your garage for not been regularly used.
Again, your painter will come in handy when it comes to coming up with a viable color combination for your different rooms, the sensitive areas and your exteriors. The professional painter will come in handy in ensuring that you get the right color shades for the sensitive areas like the bathrooms and other areas like bedrooms and the exterior.They have the expertise on the kind of paints that will do well on roofs and walls as well as floors. For a longer time, your home will look new hence benefit in the long run.
Working on a tight schedule and ensuring timely deliveries define the work of a residential painter.They will work for extended periods since they know already know what will be required at what time and have everything ready before the start of the project.Another does your paint plus is that they will, in most cases, offer after sale services like touch-ups on a regular basis.

Ugh the rain seems never ending already, and it's only been a bit over a day. Rain actually woke me up at one point last night, after I had only been asleep an hour. Now its just a very light/gentle rain, but boy are the trails taking a soaking.
So for now I must limit myself to bike entertainment via the WEB:
Danny MacAskill is back at it with some friends.
GPS should be in Thursday but I dunno if I'm going to be riding. Grrrr.
May have to pull out the rain jacket and take a walk or something tonight. Or maybe I'll go the mall and walk around for an hour or so.

The right to health is a human right recognized by the International Human Rights Law. Similarly Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are seen as a human right of the inventor worthy of recognition. Moreover, IPR is very much a private property rightfully owned by the proprietor. However, the relationship between human rights and IPR has been the topic of many debates in the recent past.
The position with regard to International Human Rights Law is very clear – the socio-economic and cultural (ESC) rights of the people are and indivisible part of human right and must be respected, protected and fulfilled by state. The economic reality today, on the other hand, forces State to turn away from these ESC rights, towards harnessing entrepreneurship and increasing trade and also on the grounds of resources conflicts. IPR too have increasingly come into conflict with ESC rights, specially the right to health.
The adverse impact of IPR on the right to health has been in the forefront of human rights debate in the 21st century. Intellectual Property law is an essential piece of legislation in any country. The challenging tasks therefore, is to ensure at least basic level of harmonization with the human rights - such as right to health – that are imperiled by these laws.
International Legal regime on the Right to Health
Traditionally, adequate health care has been associated mainly with prevention of disease and availability of health care. Today however, health is viewed as a right, which encompasses highest attainable standard or physical and mental health. Thus the right to health 'embrace [s] a wide range of socio-economic factors that promote conditions in which people can lead a healthy life, and extends to the underlying determinants of health, such as food and nutrition, access to safe and potable water and adequate sanitation, safe and healthy working conditions, and a healthy environment'. It further includes the right of the population to participate in all health related decision making at the community, national and international levels.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), and several other international covenants recognize the obligation of State to guarantee the enjoyment of right to health. The General Comment on the Right to Health issued by the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights is considered the authoritative interpretation of the rights to health as contained in the ICESCR. This General Comment delineates the nature and the extent of the obligation cast on the State towards the realization of the right to health.
According to these provisions, the obligation to guarantee all persons the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health is multifaceted. The General Comment outlines threefold obligations, to respect, protect and fulfill the right to health. It specifics a minimum standard of obligation which must ensure the availability of minimum essential levels of primary health care at all times, irrespective of other considerations, such as resource constraints.
At present, however, the right to health is not recognized in the Sri Lankan Constitution, nor is it included in the Directive Principles of State Policy. Recognition of a justiciable right to health would be essential. This would permit persons whose right to health is violated to take his complaint to a court of law.
Intellectual Property Law in Sri Lanka
The intellectual Property Act No. 36 of 2003 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act') replaced the Code of Intellectual Property Act No. 52 of 1979 (as amended). The new law has been designed inter alia to provide for the law relating to intellectual property and for an efficient procedure for registration, control and administration thereof.
Section 62(2) of the Intellectual Property Act (IPR) states that Act: 'An intervention may be, or may relate to, a product or process. The provisions in the Act give effect to the Agreement on Trade Related Intellectual Property, commonly referred to as the TRIPS agreement.' Article 27 of the TRIPS agreement defines the subject matter of a patent as any inventions, whether products or processes, in all fields of technology provided that they are new, involve an inventive step and are capable of industrial application.
An Invention is patentable if it is new and involves an inventive step and is industrially applicable. (i) An invention is considered new if it is not anticipated by prior art by the date of application or of the convention priority. (ii) An invention involves an inventive step if, having regard to the prior art relevant to the patent application claiming the invention, such inventive step would not have been obvious to a person having ordinary skill in the art. (iii) An invention is industrially applicable if it can be made or used in any kind of industry.
A patent is granted by the Intellectual Property Office upon the successful application made by the applicant. The applicant must conform to the formal requirements prescribed by law and must contain a description of the invention, claim or claims, drawings if any, and an abstract. A patent is valid for a period of 20 years from the date of application for grant. The patented is required to keep the patent in force by paying an annual prescribed fee.
The owner of a patent has the exclusive rights during the valid period the patent,
(a) to exploit the patented invention;
(b) to assign or transmit the patent;
(c) to conclude license, contracts involving the patented invention.
From the point of view of the pharmaceutical industry, it must be noted that patents are of special significance. The marginal cost or the cost of manufacturing drugs is usually very low. However, these companies have incurred very high 'sunk costs' or initial investments for the research and development of these drugs. By protecting their drugs through patents, the companies protect themselves from competition and can recoup the costs of research and development.
The State must ensure that at least the minimum core obligations are fulfilled. By enacting tougher patent laws the government provides for the continued profitability of pharmaceutical companies. But this burden of paying the dues for the companies cannot be at the cost of deteriorating health standards.
Tougher patent laws will increase the extent of state obligations with regard to the provisions of health care, necessitating an increased in State expenditure on drugs. It is therefore important to keep in mind that State expenditure on health must increase with the introduction of tougher patent laws. It is then the responsibility of the State to introduce the properly planned system of State financing and /or compulsory licensing to prevent escalation of drug prices in countries like Sri Lanka, at the very least for essential drugs.
IPR v. Human Rights - need for harmonization
In Re Intellectual Property Bill can be commended as a judgement that impacted on millions of Sri Lankans as well as on generations to come. Former Chief Justice Sarath N. Silva adopted a very farsighted approach and analyzed the likely effect of the proposed legislation on the millions of poor consumers and industrialists in developing countries like Sri Lanka. The Supreme Court took special note of the rights of patients, and also effectively addressed the issues of patenting plants and microorganisms. This judgement is a great victory not only to Sri Lanka but to all those in the developing and the least developed world right now faced with the ultimatum of drafting IP laws in conformity with the TRIPS Agreement in the near future. The Court stressed that people's right to health must be accorded primacy.
The ratifications and effective implementation of ratified Conventions are central to ensure decent work practices in Sri Lanka. Provisions referred to in the judgement are found in the TRIPs agreement as well as the Doha Declaration, on the TRIPS agreement and right to health which recognized this problem by stating that the "TRIPs agreement does not and should not prevent governments from taking measures to protect public health." These mitigatory provisions can be utilized by countries to protect the interests of the right to health of the people. Therefore a clear understanding of the same is essential in attempting to harmonize the protection of IPR and human rights. Under the heading 'TRIPS and Public Health' the Doha Declaration identified the rights of governments in the following instances.

It was always our plan that I would stay home. I went to uni, I've spent years working in the area and was a total stressed out mess. We both consider ourselves lucky enough to have been raised by a sahm and that's what we see for our kids. Not just now when they are little and at home but also when they are at school. I'm a terrible home maker but most of the time I feel like an ok parent.
Even if I wanted to work it would still fall on me, my husband has a good job but it is totally inflexible and long hours. I would consider studying if it didn't feel like a waste of money with not being able to do anything with it in the end.

I had never planned to stay at home and was due to return to work when DS was 6 months.
However I was made redundant when I was due to return and my husband was working away for 26 days and home for 9. So the decision was made if stay at home. Do I enjoy staying home - no not 100% but I am enjoying it a lot more now

1. So i could watch my kids grow and learn
2. Because financially it makes sense for us (at least for now)
3. More family time
4. Homeschooling (i didn't do this at first though)
ETA: I did work casually before #4 came along, i worked every Friday at an RSL and had a cleaning job cleaning two hours at a doctors clinic and three hours in a gym. I would do it again if i needed to.

DT75 I am in the exact same boat at the moment. Definitely do not want to go back to working in childcare either.

I'm always a bit torn at finding the balance. Before we had kids we always planned for me to only go back to work part time after kids.
Im currently home full time on Mat leave and i love being home. I generally don't find it boring or isolating, I love planning out our weeks and we have plenty of social time. I'm a bit of a geek in that I love doing kids craft and going to the library.
I also really like my job, it's interesting and challenging and I like the human interaction but I won't work more than 2 days a week when I return for quite a while yet. The reason for that is that I'd just miss my kids too much. I very nearly didn't have children and it was a long road to have them so I'm happy to sacrifice other things like career progression, more money etc. for time with them. I'd be very full filled being a sahm for a few years while they are little but I would be a bit nervous of staying out of the workforce for too long so I find part time work is a good balance.

Technically im not a ft stay at home mum as i work sundays and do a little work from home (but the home stuff is at my pace and when i want).
I worked 2-3 days and have gotten it down to 1 day and then hopefully none.
I really enjoy being at home. I was always that work to live not live to work person so i love that i get to go to the beach, pool, parks, zoos etc with my girls.
Now my eldest is at school i found the transition so easy and great that i can help out in class and be there for drop offs and pick ups. Ive got my whole life to work after kids so im not worried about taking a fraction of it off to be at home more with the kids.

@nicolier I don't mean to pick on you, so anyone, please feel free to answer too
When you say you've got your whole life to work after kids, do you mean after kids are adults with jobs? Or earlier than that?
What type of job/career will you target at that point?
I'm genuinely curious
12-11-2016 00:31 #28
I worked part time after I had my first, but she had some serious health issues at the time, and I found it really difficult to be the type of employee I would like to be, whilst dealing with her health issues at the time. She was having frequent hospitalisations and I was needing to be with her in hospital instead of being at work. I realised through that time that I didn't want to have to be torn between a job and the needs of my children. Now that I have almost 4 children under 6, financially it is not viable for me to work - the cost of child care is way more than I earn. I volunteer in various roles in my community, and I take my kids to my volunteer activities wherever I go. I would like to think that I am making a worthwhile contribution to my community in what I do And with (nearly 4) kids under 6, I work damn hard, too.
I also found it a bit of a no-brainer because I work in Early Childhood Education. It feels a bit silly to be paying someone else to look after my kids, while I look after someone else's kids, and then have no money for it at the end of the week because of the cost of the care of my kids... why not just look after my own kids, and spend my time and effort on them, instead of on someone else's kids. I am lucky that I have been able to keep up to date with my field with a small amount of study, and my volunteer community activities mostly revolve around the field of Early Childhood, so I feel I am able to keep up-to-date that way. In fact, volunteering in my community has given me an entire new set of skills and experience I wouldn't have been able to achieve otherwise.
That being said... I hate how I feel like I have to justify my role as a SAHM with the extra 'stuff' I do. If I didn't do any volunteer work at all, and dedicated my days to just being with my kids, doing school drop offs, cooking, cleaning, playing, teaching, nurturing, loving - that's ok. That's enough. Sometimes I think we feel like the 'extra stuff' is our job - when ultimately, our children are our job. I love having outside volunteer roles, but if my only job was to care for my kids, my job is a highly important one, and totally valid in it's own right I plan to return to work when my youngest is at preschool, and I know I will be fine getting back into paid employment. I have absolutely zero concerns about it.

Soul Devotional - June 10, 2014
The Soul Sisterhood Retreat was incredible. For those that could not make it, I want to give a little compilation of the takeaways I got from our wonderful speakers. Remember, these are either quotes from the speakers, or messages I felt I received from this group of beautiful women. The theme of the weekend was pouring in-pouring out. Wilma Derksen started off the weekend. One of the main things I pulled from her session was that we often think of people who pour into us, as being All positive. We need to beware the "stranger", who may only have a very short-one time interaction with us, but that can change our lives forever. If they affect us in a negative way...what will we do with that? Will we let it control or ruin our lives? Will we choose to forgive and love(as Jesus would want), and become healthy people that can pour into others? Victoria Graham continued on the thoughts with the fact that we are always pouring into someone, somehow...who and what are we pouring in? We can look at mentoring or pouring into someone as a "walk" with people. It is intentional time spent with someone, using the teachable moments and being real and transparent. Caitlin Krahn spoke on Luke 10:38-42(the Mary and Martha story), where she added that Jesus knows our hearts and the motives behind the things we say and do. He knows when something we do for someone else, may start out in love, but also when our attitude changes and we feel a sense of martyrdom, self-importance, or pride. These feeling can change in a second, depending on our self-talk. The amazing thing about this is that Jesus never leaves our side or "our home" when we lose sight of Him, He instead uses those opportunities to correct and teach IN LOVE. "The cure for anxiousness is to let Jesus pour into us." Lauren Ritchie went on to talk about how we are ALL called by Jesus to disciple or pour into others. We always have excuses. "Discipleship is not for perfect people to pour into imperfect people, but rather the broken sharing with broken." We are called to give up our fears, comforts, and anything else standing in our way; leave our excuses at the feet of Jesus. Misty spoke on Luke 8(the woman with the bleeding that touched the hem of Jesus and was healed). She talked about vulnerability as the key to a sense of wholeness. "Connection can be the thing we crave most, yet fear most." She left us to evaluate our hearts and consider what ways we feel untouchable. Jesus longs for us to have courage, which can translate into coming out of hiding. "Authenticity makes you approachable."
These women were so inspired of God this weekend. I feel that even though you were not able to attend, you can still learn from them by meditating on some of their thoughts and engage yourself in walking a path with people that have things to teach, and sharing things with others that you have learned. Live authentically, with purpose and remember to be intentional! God will do the rest.

CHICAGO (AP) � While two Illinois lawmakers want National Guard troops deployed to help quell violence on Chicago�s streets, Mayor Richard Daley and the city�s police superintendent aren�t embracing the idea, and crime statistics show the number of homicides is no worse than in previous years.
Daley and Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis said yesterday that getting guns off the streets was the way to end violence, and they renewed their call for tougher gun legislation.
�Everybody knows there�s frustration when one crime is one too many in any community,� Daley told reporters. But he was tepid about calling in the National Guard, calling it only �something to think about.�
The call by the lawmakers for the military to help Chicago police comes during the approach of summer, when the number of crimes often rises along with the temperature. It also came after a recent headline-grabbing night of violence when seven people were killed and more than a dozen others were injured in shootings.
�I want our city to be free of crime as much as possible, and that�s what I�m shooting for,� said Rep. LaShawn Ford, who joined Rep. John Fritchey in making a public plea over the weekend for Gov. Pat Quinn to call out the troops.
Quinn made clear yesterday that he would defer to Daley and not take action unless Daley and Weis wanted it. �Anytime you do something serious like this, you must have absolute cooperation and coordination,� Quinn said. �You just can�t just willy-nilly do this.�
Weis also has resisted the idea, saying training is different for members of the military and civilian law enforcement officials.
Bringing in help for Chicago cops isn�t a new idea. Ousted Gov. Rod Blagojevich once suggested turning to the Illinois State Police, but the idea went nowhere when Daley rejected it.

Homicide suspect who fled house arrest found in Mint Hill
A 19-year-old homicide suspect who police said cut off his court-ordered ankle monitor this month was arrested Friday morning in Mint Hill.
Ricco McHam was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of his best friend, Markas Vereen, last Fourth of July. Prosecutors said both McHam and Vereen were wounded in a shooting involving a rival in the Grier Heights neighborhood. The two drove to a hospital, where they crashed their car into the emergency room. Vereen died there and McHam was charged in Vereen's death.
A judge set a bond for McHam at $275,000 and he was placed under 24-hour home detention in February after he was able to post bond.
Police said McHam cut off his ankle monitor and ran away on June 15, the date of a court hearing to decide if he had violated his bond. He has a lengthy arrest history in Mecklenburg County, with at least 16 arrests for charges that include assaulting a female, drug trafficking and firearm violations.
McHam faces charges of murder, felony possession of a firearm, damage to property, and interfering with an electronic monitoring device, police said.

Dear Friends,
Today we finish Genesis 1-11. I will preach on the last of chapter 11 and the first few verses of chapter 12. Where will we go next?
Please pray for me as I discern what the Lord would have us listen to and learn from in His Word Written. As you know, we go through whole books of the Bible, or a big "chunk" of the Bible. I divide the Biblical book into parts and we preach each part in order until we have finished the book. So most Sundays we are in a series that takes us through a book of the Bible or a part of a Biblical book.
This summer we will listen to and learn from a small but important part of the Bible. The Ten Commandments or Ten Words. There are two versions of the Ten Commandments, Exodus 20: 1-17 and Deuteronomy 5: 1-21. The two Biblical texts have a couple of small differences – I am sure you will hear more about this as the summer progresses. We will look at one commandment each week.
For many centuries Christians have recognized the importance of the Ten Commandments in "being a disciple of Jesus gripped by the Gospel and living for God's glory". Most catechisms, instructions in Christian living, have at least three sections. One section answers the question, "What should we believe/know?" by looking at The Apostles Creed. One section answers the question, "How do we pray?" by looking at The Lord's Prayer. And finally, one section answers the question, "How should we live?" by looking at The Ten Commandments. This summer we will look at the Ten Commandments. Please pray!
In September, just after Labour Day weekend, we will begin a series on the book of Galatians. Many churches are liable to be looking at either Galatians or Romans this fall. The reason is that 31 October 2017 is the 500th anniversary of the start of the Reformation.
After this? Probably the Gospel of John. But please pray that I will know God's leading for us.
In closing, please pray that those who call Messiah their church home will develop the habit of daily Bible reading. Please pray as well that we will develop the habit of reading all of the Bible, not just bits and pieces of the Bible. It is important that we come to know "the whole counsel of God". Pray that, as I preach, and as others at Messiah preach and teach the Bible, we are modeling and equipping people to read the Bible themselves.

The catalyst to Boundless/
It was a fascinating time doing business in the Soviet Union. I'd always wanted to write about my experiences during this time, but I was never inspired to pick up a pen; primarily because I thought I was incapable of writing to an adequate standard.
It wasn't until three friends, independently, suggested that I should write a book. I decided to cease resisting the desire to write, and I got on with it. That was in August 2008. I thought the task would be complete within six months. It's now 2014. The book is finished. Just.
