- The CORD coalition will name those who are behind the mysterious killings of vocal politicians
- This will only happen when Raila Odinga is elected president in 2017
- In the last ten years, there have been a number of political deaths which were said to be assassinations
Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama said that killers of all outspoken politicians who were assassinated since independence would be known once CORD leader Raila Odinga ascends to presidency in 2017.
He was speaking yesterday, Monday, June 27, while in Busia county for the thanksgiving ceremony of woman representative Florence Mutua.

She was among those arrested with seven others on Tuesday, June 14, for hate speech utterances and put in police custody for four days.
If Muthama's promise is true, the following are some of the recent politicians whose killers would finally be known.
George Saitoti and Orwa Ojode
They both died in a helicopter crash in June 2012. Their deaths were said to be murders while others claimed it was assassinations because the two had knowledge on the people who actually planned the 2007/2008 post-election violence.
Saitoti had once said in a parliamentary session that he was willing to hand over the names to the International Criminal Court for prosecution.
According to a Daily Nation article dated October 23, 2012, a pathologist who worked on their post-mortems said that Saitoti may have died before the helicopter crash.

Mutula Kilonzo
His death in April 2013 came as a shock to many because he was in good health prior to retiring to bed the previous night and not waking up in the morning.
His family claimed he was killed and about a dozen United Kingdom experts supported this notion, claiming that the cause of his death perplexing.
A poison was said to have been used in his last meal because he suffered massive internal bleeding in his brain, parietal spaces and soft tissues.
To date, the reason for his death has never been known.

George Muchai
The former Kabete member of Parliament was shot dead alongside his driver and two bodyguards in February 2015.
Reports had it that his convoy was trailed by his would be killers from Westlands to the CBD and finally got to him on Kenyatta Avenue.
He was shot execution style between 3 am and 4.30 am as witnesses claimed four bullets were fired, instantly killing the politician and his entourage.
This sparked off speculation that the killers were professionals. No information on the investigation or the killers has ever been released.

George Thuo
The former Juja member of parliament was killed in November 2013 after a nigh out with his friends ended in his death.
His beer had been laced with pesticide before his sudden death.
His death was touted to be a political assassination though his friends who were with him in the Thika town club and a waitress were arrested and charged with the murder.
READ ALSO: How nursses tried to bring late Juja MP George Thuo back to life
Historically, some of the famous assassinations are those of Robert Ouko, Tom Mboya and J.M. Kariuki
A non-political assassination that the Kenyan public would be highly interested in knowing who the killers are is the murder of controversial city billionaire Jacob Juma.
This is because Juma worked closely with Raila Odinga, and was a sort of whistle blower who exposed corruption in government.
Just before his death, he had said he would expose those who had looted the Eurobond money as well as others involved in the National Youth Service KSh 1.8 billion scandal.

How To Make Friends and Influence Poetry Editors
By Charles P. Ries
Writing careers are two simultaneous journeys—one is to become good at the craft, and the other is to find an audience, which often means cultivating the good graces of editors and publishers. Like it or not, this requires conscious effort or what many call self-promotion because if you don't do it, who will (other then your mother).
We poets often run from or don't have a clue about the give-and-take, ebb-and-flow of self-marketing and the good old-fashioned American hard-sell. Successful writing careers can happen without self-promotion—after all writing is its own reward. But most of us will have to make our own good luck. So how do we go about making some? Here are a few suggestions you might consider to reach a wider, adoring audience:
1: Your mother always told you to say please and thank you. I am telling you to always say please and thank you.
One has to think years down the road. Not tomorrow or next month, but years down the road. You are slowly building your network. Relationships are constructed one thoughtful touch at a time. Every productive opportunity to communicate with an editor or publisher is a good one. These meaningful touches do not have to be big, but they do need to be purposeful. So when you get a rejection or an acceptance from an editor, it's a good time to say thank you or something nice about their magazine because you have actually read it. Rest assured, each and every kindness counts—good manners matter—your mother was right.
2: The creation of an editor/publisher is their magazine. So get to know it and get to know them.
One of my favorite poetry editors lives on money from disability. Each Christmas I send him a box of cheese and something stupid and funny. Sometimes he takes my work, and sometimes he doesn't. I don't care. I just like what he does with so little and I let him know it. I go to great lengths to personalize my greetings with editors and publishers. I try to address them by their first names or make sure I spell their last names correctly. A few times a year I connect with everyone in my electronic address book. I might send them a holiday greeting, an interesting book review, articles I have enjoyed, or links to news stories about poetry. Only a few have asked me to remove them from my e-mail list. I assume every time you submit work to publication, you add the name of the editor and publication to your contact list? If you don't, I encourage you to. It's a long journey. Every step along the way gives you a chance to both collect and create something of relevance and value.
3: Love the editors and publishers who love you. If you do, the sex will get better over time, and who doesn't like really good sex?
Researchers say that the best sex is between couples who have been together for a long time. Yes, even really old couples have better and more meaningful sex then young, hot and restless hormones. So if you find an editor who wants to date you, stick with them. Over the years I have extended my network of writing outlets, because I have made loyalty the lubricant of my relationships with editors.
4: Live in a poetry world that is bigger than just you. Feed yourself while you feed others.
One of the things editors really like (oh, and I have been poetry editor to three online magazines) are writers who write for others. Writers who not only want their work published, but are just as passionate about supporting the work of others. When you provide editors with reviews, essays, articles and other non-fiction content it says, I love the work. All three on-line publications that I became the poetry editor for were places I was loyal to and created lots of non-poetry content for.
5: Subscribe and be nice to all small press magazines, and their long-suffering, dedicated editors and publishers.
This seems too blatant to even talk about, but knowing how cheap some of you are, I just feel I have to say it. If, over time, you want publishers to really consider your work, I can assure you that subscribing to their publication will not be viewed as a form of insult. I promise you, nothing bad will happen to your writing career or reputation if you subscribe to their publication. At one time I subscribed to over 40 poetry publications. I was getting so many I couldn't get around to reading most of them, but I figured if I was going to play the game, I needed to support the game. Some of these magazines have never published my work, but I will bet you they know I am a subscriber—eventually (I figure) my day will come. And that's the point: we plant seeds for the future.
If you want editors and publishers to love you, publish your work, recommend you to other editors and generally think, gee-wiz this is a really nice poet-guy, then why don't you treat them like you would someone you are trying to romance? If you think they are cute, sensitive, and well laid out, then why in the world would you ever stop trying to get a date? More than 50% of success in the literary world is patient, persistence, and good manners. Oh, and a little thoughtful self-promotion.

Why does Tesla have so many options?
Why does Tesla have so many options?
Benz | 28 Janvier 2013
I do not agree with keithz. But he may have his opinion, just like everybody else.
Talking about options on a car. I think it's great to have options, because you can leave out all that you do not want or need. And that's great, because the price that you then shall have to pay will not be much higher then the base price.
In my situation I sure would like to have the option to leave out the Falcon Doors on the Tesla Model X. I would prefer having normal doors, because that would be good enough for me. Many people do not want or need most options that are available. The base model with just 1 or 2 options will do very well. Options are not for free, you see.

The popular instant messaging service WhatsApp, could soon be available in a web version, according to resources. WhatsApp mobile boasts over 450 million users.
According to resources, multiple references to a next online platform appear in the code of the mobile application. This would make it possible, from any browser, discuss and share documents with friends or even take advantage of video conferencing. Subscribers may also know from which terminal they log their contacts, as long they are disconnected if they are not reachable.
If the rumor is true, WhatsApp would compete on the Web Skype (Microsoft) and Hangouts (Google).
A subdomain has already been established ( web.whatsapp.com ), although it still leads to nothing.

How To Eat Conveniently
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Farmer's Fridge. I am the queen of convenience, especially when it comes to food. I LOVE taking pictures of it, but could never, in my life, be a recipe-developing food blogger. Most of my meals take less than 20 minutes to make. For a while it even killed me to bake chicken because I felt like it took too long. The only time I spend more than that is when I make an epic cheesecake or some other baking masterpiece, because that I actually enjoy. For anyone else who wants to enjoy… View Post

Who doesn't love a good story? Every year millions of dollars are spent on movie tickets just so that we can be entertained by brilliant story tellers. It then makes sense, that to engage and capture the imagination of your customers, businesses should do the same. So why do so many businesses ignore this essential step to building a brand?
People remember stories far better than they can recite a list of attributes or benefits. Wrap what you want to say into an engaging story and your audience will remember you forever.
If you understand your brand personality, it makes it so much easier to develop a story. If you are the Hero brand for example, the pace and tone of your story will be far more energised than if your personality is that of the Seducer, which would be indulgent and intimate. Find out what your brand personality is.
Make sure you know what your core values are. Take time to structure what you want to say and how you want to say it. This is the mainframe of your brand story; who you are, what you do, who you do it for, why it matters to them, and how it's different from anyone else in the marketplace. Make sure that your tone and language match the brand personality of your business as this will add to the authenticity of your story.
A story is highly dependant on the characters within it. Developing believable characters is essential to a good brand story – one that people can relate to. The rags to riches type stories of the common man making good is one that everyone loves, as it gives them hope that they might be able to achieve something similar in their lives. Your characters need to be very human and ones that your target audience can relate to.
To ensure that the message comes across effectively, you need to ensure that you say it (and show it) in the same way ALL the time. By being consistent in all of your communications and actions your message will start to come together, creating a brand presence for you in the marketplace.
I touched on tone under Clarity. This is really important to set the tempo of the story. You can't have a nurturing story told with strong, dynamic language as it won't be believable. The tone needs to be gentle and flowing. If your story is being told in a TV ad, video or even on the radio, it is critical to find a voice over that will match the tone of your business.
People these days are very time poor, so it is essential to keep your story on point and moving quickly. Everyone has hear of an elevator speech. If not, it is the ability to be able to explain to someone in an elevator trip what your business is all about. It's about 30 seconds long and is concise and to the point. Your brand story does not need to be this short, but it does need to be to the point so that you don't lose your audiences' attention.
Writing is not easy to do, but getting your brand story right is an essential element to helping you build a strong and believable brand. If you find writing a challenge, we encourage you to find a copywriter who can write in a style that is going to compliment your brand.

Bear dies after falling out of helicopter while being transported to jungleBy Mason White 6:41 PM March 2, 2017
|Black bear (illustration)
By: Alexis Bell WorldWideWeirdNews.com
A bear that was being transported to a jungle, fell out of a helicopter and died of trauma, according to officials in Thailand.
Hin Tung police said that wildlife officers have launched an investigation over the death of the black bear that was found roaming in the streets of a town.
Officers who were called to capture the young bear weighing about 200 pounds, used tranquilizer darts to put the animal to sleep.
They then loaded the bear onto a helicopter and transported it to the Khao Yai National Park. However, the bear woke up while the helicopter was in the air.
The animal panicked and fell out of the helicopter. The bear fell thousands of feet to the ground and suffered trauma. The black bear died at the scene.
Wildlife Chief Wirat Chatuphon criticized the officer for transporting the bear in a helicopter, saying that such a large and unpredictable animal should have been taken to the jungle in a vehicle on the ground.
He also criticized the fact that the animal was taken to a secluded area, saying that black bears are social and need their family and familiar environment.

As a physician, informed consent means I have an obligation to my patients. I must research and relay what I can about a given intervention's risks, known and unknown, in the context of the purported benefits, and potential alternatives. The prescription of the pill, which interferes with reproductive hormones, is an example of an egregious lapse in true informed consent.
That naughty little pill
Oral contraceptives confer significant risks to mood, carcinogenesis, and even sudden death. This is in addition to masking potentially reversible pathology — such as PMS, PCOS, and acne. Exploration into underlying mechanisms has revealed that these agents deplete nutrients, cause inflammation, and perturb hormones such as testosterone and thyroid. As I discussed in a previous article:
Synthetic hormones like those in combined oral contraceptives increase thyroid and sex hormone binding globulin, effectively decreasing the available testosterone and thyroid hormone in circulation. This can render you with nun-like libido, and functionally hypothyroid or depressed, constipated, overweight, mentally cloudy, with dry skin and hair, to boot!
Not exactly what women have in mind when signing up for birth control.
A randomized, open-label, 9 week trial of 3 forms of hormonal contraception found that they all increased SHBG, as well as insulin resistance, and markers of inflammation such as C-reactive protein. Another study suggests that increases in SHBG may persist long after discontinuation of the pill, contributing to sexual dysfunction/low libido.
Incidentally, xenoestrogens, such as PCBs, BPA, and phthalates, as well as poor excretion of estrogen as occurs with gut dysbiosis, can also contribute to elevated SHBG and lead to undesirable states of "estrogen dominance."
The pillpromotes oxidative stress. Stress is often defined as the inability to cope with demands, and oxidative stress is a destructive force in the body perpetuated by reactive oxygen species that outnumber available antioxidant enzymes and factors. Oxidative stress is an important etiologic factor of the pathologic process of Alzheimer's Disease, Parkison's Disease, and cancer.
One measure of oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, was found to be higher in those taking oral contraceptives, and improved (not quite to baseline controls) when they were treated with vitamins E and C, known antioxidants.
The pill depletes vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants as measured by activity of Coenzyme Q10, vitamin E, and Total Antioxidant Activity. More specifically, oral contraceptives have been acknowledged to deplete vitamin B6, a cofactor for the production of serotonin and GABA, as well as zinc, selenium, phosphorus, and magnesium demonstrated by this cross-sectional randomized study. Interestingly, birth control use was associated with elevated levels of copper, iron, calcium, and cadmium compared to controls. Copper can upregulate catecholamines, potentially causing feelings of overstimulation. Iron can be a pro-oxidant.
What about OCs and breast cancer risk?
Could oral contraceptives be another way that women are buying into the allure of an oversimplified quick fix that has undisclosed long-term risks?
In a paper entitled "Normal Breast Physiology: The Reasons Hormonal Contraceptives and Induced Abortion Increase Breast-Cancer Risk," Angela Lanfranchi, MD discusses why and how a woman achieves protective effects through completion of a full-term pregnancy and breast-feeding.
Beginning at five weeks after conception, fetal breast tissue develops, termed the "milk ridge," over the fifth rib. In an illustration of the complex communication between fetus and mother, the fetus secretes hormones (hCG and hPL) that are responsible for the final maturation of a woman's breasts into milk-producing lobules.
Over the course of pregnancy, type 1 and 2 lobules increase in density and are meant to evolve into type 3 and 4 lobules. If this does not happen, it may put a woman at increased risk for carcinogenic changes to manifest. If a pregnancy is completed to term, 85% of lobules will be type 4, conferring further breast cancer risk reduction of 10% with each pregnancy.
According to Lanfranchi, induced abortion or preterm birth prior to 32 weeks AND oral contraceptives all increase the predominance of type 1 and 2 lobules. After breastfeeding, and regression back to type 1 lobules, epigenetic changes to tissue persist, representative of long-term benefits.
Growth of estrogen-sensitive tissue through synthetic exposure is one of the ways that birth control sets women up for increased risk. In fact, Lanfranchi states:
"In 2005, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the UN's World Health Organization classified hormonal contraceptives as Group 1 carcinogens for breast, cervical, and liver cancers after reviewing the world's literature on estrogen-progestin combination drugs."
Informed consent
I support a woman's right to engage her reproductive capacity at her own discretion. However, medicine's failure to describe and disclose known risks is essentially a means of disempowerment.
Breast cancer risk, as depicted in this article, is much more complex and both subject to and mitigated by environmental exposures. For instance, this article assumes that receiving a diagnosis of breast cancer is equivalent to actually having it. Unfortunately for millions of women subject to breast cancer overdiagnosis mostly through x-ray mammography breast screenings, this is simply not true.
We now know that over 1.3 million U.S. women were incorrectly diagnosed with breast cancer over the past 30 years. These women were subjected to the unnecessary removal of lumps or entire breasts, as well as to chemical and radiation therapies which themselves carry significant cancer risk. A National Cancer Institute-commissioned expert panel last year acknowledged that ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), one of the most prevalent forms of breast cancer diagnosed through mammography screenings, is not cancer, should no longer be called cancer, and should instead be reclassified as a benign lesion of epithelial origin.
Without further information on the other co-risks that are engaged and whether the diagnosis was valid, this paper is food for thought. I present a theoretical consideration that there might be more to the story on birth control than we have been led to believe.
Kelly took birth control for 12 years and wishes she had read this article first!

Amethyst, a semi-precious stone, is the traditional birthstone for February. It is a violet variety of quartz and is found in South America, North America, Africa and Asia. The best amethyst comes from Siberia, Sri Lanka, Brazil and the far east. Greek for "not-intoxicated", amethyst was believed to prevent drunkenness and in fact people made wine goblets out of amethyst for that reason. Amethyst crystals are used to help heal personal loss and grief. They have a gentle, calming energy that promotes peace and happiness. Amethyst is also associated with protection and some people believe it wards off the "evil eye". Amethyst is said to help with insomnia and headaches. It is still worn by Catholic Bishops as a symbol of piety and spiritual wisdom.
Whatever its mystical qualities, we love amethyst for its beauty.

Scotch and Chocolate Pairing
Looking at the heading, you might be wondering that I must have gone bonkers to talk about the combination. Most of my friends had tried Scotch pairing with Chocolates. I never imagined nor tried Scotch pairing with Chocolate.
Preferred choice is always fried stuff or spicy stuff along with Scotch. This is all new combination.
Does Chocolate add on? Yes it does. Chocolate helps to avoid alcohol burn and helps you to feel the taste of the Scotch which would not have been possible otherwise. Further ahead, it helps to enjoy the taste. Honey and Hazelnut match with the Antique Golden color and sweetness of Honey will match with the honey flavor in Black Dog TGR.
Sometimes, people do like to have the chocolates which has butterscotch flavor. In that case, it can match again with Black Dog TGR. There are quite a bit of chocolates that come with Almond and Cashew. Those kind of chocolates can also be consumed with Black Dog TGR.
Black Dog TGR Scotch has Vanilla sweetness and smooth texture, it can match up with most of the dark chocolates or nutty or fruity flavored chocolates. In case, you feel that they are too sweet, opt for ginger flavored or spicy or peppered chocolates which will again go hand in hand with the Black Dog Scotch. Do remember, not to bite in too much of chocolate. Start slowly or you might miss the taste of the Scotch.
The combination of chocolates and liquor are well known over the world and most of them prefer that too. I always preferred the nutty chocolates and the scotch as I liked the combination of them. Nothing specific but I do like the dark chocolate combo and the alcohol combination.
Have you tried any of the combinations above or do you want to share your favorite combination of Scotch and Chocolate pairing, do let us know and we can add it in here.

According to Guns, Germs, and Steel, when did the Bantu come to dominate sub-Saharan Africa?
- print Print
- list Cite
To the extent that Diamond gives an answer to this question, he does so in Chatper 19. However, he does not give an exact date.
The Bantu domination of sub-Saharan Africa is not recorded in the historical record. Therefore, its dates must be inferred from other evidence. Diamond cites archaeological and linguistic evidence to support his estimates. He says (p. 394 in the paperback edition of the book) that the Bantu expansion out of their West African homeland "may have begun as early as 3000 B.C." He then goes on to say that "By soon after 1000 B.C." Bantu peoples had arrived in the Great Rift Valley area of Eastern Africa. By 500 A.D., they had completed their expansion.
We do not know an exact date for this expansion and domination, so we can only give approximate dates.

Here are some things you can do about the problem of students arriving late to class.
Model punctual behavior. Set a standard for your students by beginning class promptly.
Be clear from the very beginning that you expect your students to be seated at the time the class begins.
Have clear consequences for lateness.
Be fair and consistent in their use.
Begin your class with something interesting. Students will be encouraged to be on time so as not to miss out.
Recognize that chronic lateness on the part of a particular student may likely be symptomatic of a bigger problem. If it is, enlist the help of specialists at your school.
Regardless of why students are late, do not allow late arriving students to disrupt your class. Require students who arrive late to simply take their seats. If you want to talk with them about their lateness, do so after class.

U.S. Senator Angus King (I-ME) is one of a select few lawmakers who has been appointed to a joint House and Senate budget conference committee charged with developing a long-term budget plan by December 13th.
"I am pleased to be a member of the conference committee, and I look forward to working with my House and Senate colleagues to develop a long-term budget that puts our nation back on a path to fiscal certainty and stability," Senator King said. "Passing a budget is the most fundamental task of governing, and it's not been done for far too long. There is no doubt that reconciling the differences will be challenging, but it's also an invaluable opportunity for us to do some real good for the country and demonstrate to the American people that we still have the ability to govern."
The conference committee, which consists of 29 total members between the House and Senate, is a result of last night's agreement to reopen the government and lift the debt ceiling. The committee is tasked with reconciling the differences between the two budgets passed by the Senate and the House earlier this year. Senator King, a member of the Senate Budget Committee, helped to craft the Senate's budget and has been a vocal proponent of moving to conference.

"Poet Teri Youmans Grimm visited the Living Writer's Series class on Monday, Sept. 27, to discuss poetry to students, as well as her first collection of poems, titled "The Dirt Eaters." Grimm has taught at the writer's workshop at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and her work also appeared in The Nebraska Review, The Baybury and several other publications.
""The Dirt Eaters" reflects Grimm's life growing up in the South. She stated that the first poem in the collection, "Down South Vapors," actually started out as an exercise for using unique diction. She said that people who aren't from the South viewed the locations occurences as "intriguing" once they read her poems.
"Grimm gave striving poets several techniques for writing. She stated that "imagery is the cornerstone of poetry" and that poetry is about diction and the way words sound. As for form, she advised students to consider content and to play with form.
"Among the texts Grimm recommended for those interested in writing poetry were Richard Hugo's "Triggering Town" and Charles Simic's "Uncertain Certainties."
"Grimm also advised students to study the work of other writers, and that writing is a challenge.
"Grimm received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in writing at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and Grimm later accomplished her Master of Fine Arts in writing from Vermont College.
"Poetry not only stemmed from Grimm's love of writing, but also from her love of film. Grimm stated that she learned "a great deal of poetry by [studying] cinematography." One of her poems portrayed the silent film actress, Louise Brooks.

- Sites and apps must be clearly distinguishable from any "real money gambling" that your business may offer on another domain.
- Clearly and prominently inform users of the following:
- The games are intended for an adult audience.
- The games do not offer "real money gambling" or an opportunity to win real money or prizes.
- Practice or success at social casino gaming does not imply future success at "real money gambling."

Why can I advertise to adults only?
We have decided that social casino games should not appeal to minors. However, we review our policies regularly and make changes to keep them current and effective. Our goal is to have policies that are fair, consistent, and adaptable.
When can I upload ads to my account?
Ads for social casino games will be disapproved if they are uploaded to your account before the beta is live or before you're notified that your account has been certified. For this reason, we ask that you do not upload ads for social casino games to your account until this time. If you want to prepare your campaigns in advance, consider using AdWords Editor. Note that if your account and associated URL are approved to promote social casino games, the targeting restrictions that apply to this beta will be applied to all ads in that account.
Will I be notified when the beta is live?
Yes, you'll receive an email confirming when you can begin running ads for social casino games.
How long will the beta last?
The beta is expected to run for several months. We'll try to give all participating advertisers in good standing at least two weeks' notice before the beta ends.
Can I use my existing AdWords account to promote social casino games?
Yes, unless the existing account is used to advertise gambling games where real money or prizes can be won. If you are already certified to promote online gambling games, you should set up a new account to promote social casino games. Note that if your account and associated URL are approved to promote social casino games, the targeting restrictions that apply to this beta will be applied to all ads in that account that point to the approved URL.
How can I tell which region my account is certified for?
After your application is processed, we'll notify you of the result of the application review. If your application is accepted, the email will indicate if you can use this account to advertise in Asia or the Rest of the world.

The 500 life-size fiberglass cows that arrived on New York City streets in June have inspired impassioned opinions. Some people welcome the herd, with their imaginative designs by local artists. Others consider the whole cow parade just a hokey import from Chicago.
Yesterday, the cows inspired some old-fashioned rustling.
''Cow Hands,'' one of the creatures in town for the parade, and apparently the ideal tool for a practical joke, was unfastened from its concrete base at West Houston Street and La Guardia Place early yesterday morning.
The police arrived as ''Cow Hands'' was about to be loaded into a blue Jeep Cherokee. The officers found Patrick Kraft, 24, of East Windsor, N.J., and Michael Macisco, 23, of Stratford, Conn., clearing their Jeep, apparently to make way for the cow, the police said.
''As I got closer to the Jeep, I could see that a statue of a cow'' was leaning against it, Detective Andrew McDermott said. While the two men were caught cow-handed, the police said, they initially denied having anything to do with the blue and purple stray, covered with white handprints. Detective McDermott said the two soon confessed to plotting a prank. They told the police that they were probably going to station ''Cow Hands'' in front of a friend's Manhattan home, he said.
By yesterday afternoon, ''Cow Hands'' stood silently in the Sixth Precinct station house, on West 10th Street, where she was to be kept for 48 hours as evidence. Her green eyes pointed at the front desk, which she appeared poised to charge. A stolen-property invoice was fastened to her back with tape, in lieu of a brand.Continue reading the main story
Snapping a Polaroid picture for the station house scrapbook, Officer Jon Goldin shook his head, saying that when he first saw the cow at the station house, he figured that it was a prop in a publicity stunt. ''Well, that's life in a big city,'' he said.
The bounty for ''Cow Hands'' is quite hefty. Officials from the city and CowParade Holdings, the parade organizers, were hoping that ''Cow Hands'' would fetch $20,000 to $50,000 at an auction planned for Sept. 28, whose proceeds are to be donated to six charities.
''Cow Hands'' was painted by the artist Edwina Sandys, who is Winston Churchill's granddaughter.
''I don't know what the punishment should be for such a crime,'' Ms. Sandys mused after learning of the attempted theft. She suggested that the guilty parties do time ''working on a farm or something.''
The police said the two men were charged with grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property and criminal mischief.
Since the cow parade began in June, about 50 of the 500 cows have been damaged, said Jerome Elbaum, president of CowParade Holdings. In late June, the police found that the colorful ''Moo-Stripa'' had been removed from her spot in Richmond Hill, Queens. ''Moo-Stripa'' has since been recovered.
Last week, the police arrested three New York teenagers for a rural form of mischief: cow-tipping, in John Jay Park in Manhattan.
At a news conference yesterday, Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani said, ''Given the fact that on any given day you have 11 million people in the city, the way in which the cows were treated was very respectful.''Continue reading the main story

Like I've said before, my husband is pretty goofy and always keeps me laughing. So when I see the boys behind the blog posts all the time, it makes me wonder how he would answer those same questions. This is my first time linking up with the boys behind the blog linkup, but after doing it this time, I will definitely participate again. It was funny to hear some of my husbands answers. After trying it this time, I would definitely send him these questions in an email and let him write out his answers instead of asking me for what he should choose, but I tried to type out his answers exactly as he told me. So without further ado, here's my hubby Dan.
1. What was your favorite movie of 2013?
Did we even see any in 2013? What movies did I go see this year? We don't go to too many movies. I would say Argo would be my favorite that I saw this year, but I'm not sure if that actually came out in 2013. But Argo was my favorite.
2. What is your all time favorite movie quote?
I don't know . . . "keep it classy Chicago, wait is it Chicago?" What he means is keep it classy San Diego from Anchorman, the things my husband says!
3. What is your favorite type of movie?
War/Action – like Saving Private Ryan
4. What is your Nea Year's Resolution?
To be healthier
5. Finish this sentence: This year I will . . .
Be even more of a better husband – his exact words.
Don't forget to grab these questions and link up with your boy behind the blog!

There are only two reasons that I consider looking at options:
- Income Generation
- Purchasing stocks (that I already want) at a lower price than the current market price
Basically, either for additional income or for bargain shopping. And, as it turns out, neither of these reasons are good enough when the market is clearly bullish.
Income Generation
In a bull market (of the kind that we are currently in – summer of 2011), it does not make sense to use options for income generation. The reason is simple. You will get much higher returns simply finding (somewhat beaten up) stocks and watching them appreciate (as they will in a normal bull market). The returns on a good stock in a bull market trump any gains that options can possibly provide. In addition, you have the luxury of owning the underlying asset at all times.
Purchasing stocks (that I already want) at a lower price than the current market price
Again, while writing PUTs is a good way to purchase stocks at a lower price (than the current market price), it also suffers from two disadvantages in a bull market
- You may not get the underlying stock – since the price may stay steady or move up – never reaching the strike price
- You WILL tie up the money in the written PUT – since you are obligated to buy the stock if the price reaches the strike price. This means that your account will need to have the additional cash balance to make the purchase for the entire duration of the option (till expiration). This ties up the money that could be well used to purchase other rising stocks in the bull market.
In a market that is flat or declining (bearish), options provide a way to generate income without buying risky stocks (risky because the market sentiment is bearish and/or the market is staying flat). In such a market condition, it may make sense to buy/write options to generate income – or even to buy your favorite stocks at bargain prices. However, in a clearly bullish market (such as the one we currently have in the summer of 2011), none of these reasons are strong enough to outweigh the basic bull ride that a half-decent stock can give you.

text: Sooo today I watched AVGN. I was watching the Ninja Gaiden episode. And then...I totally got a flashback. Yes, I had Ninja Gaiden. Only the first one. It was my fifth game for the NES. I remember that day...when I was like 9 years? I kept whining. Eventually when I cried a river of tears my mum gave up and bought the game. So I was like very happy to fill my collection of games. I came home and immediatly started playing. After two stages I felt a connection of joy and I wasn't planning to have a break. Yes man good time.. NO! NO! NO! NO! Now comes the part that killed me, frustrated me and let me cry.... I immediatly noticed that the knockback was very annoying, but I the first stages I didn't had so much trouble with it. But a stage or two later... I turned so mad... I was planning to bite myself. This game made me cry, it made me suffer and it made me say words that are inappropiate. I decided to give up... But honestly I think that frustration must be felt with games. It gives you a challenge. And you want to beat that challenge. It puts you in the game very deeply. My concentration was so big that I ignored every sound in my environment. It's kinda funny. Remembering that I locked myself up and spending my whole weekend on that game. So yeah. That's Ninja Gaiden. A game that I still haven't beat. What are the games that made you guys mad? Swear? Cry? Or even attempt suicide ? Did you guys beat those games? Are they memorable moments that you want to share with me ?

It is run by a friendly italian family, there is an italian restaurant/ bar downstairs in the loby.the hotel is about 1.5 km away from the beach which is a bit of a walk in the heat, you can rent a moterbike from the hotel for 200 baht for 24 hrs that makes it very easy to get to the beach and restaurants, bars etc. Overall exellent value for money in phuket. Has free WiFi, aircon, fridge, cable tv, and all the essentials for a budget but comfortable hotel. Would defiantly stay again when we return to kata.

When he was in high school, Clarence Scott thought about playing college football, but he knew it would not be where he preferred because Georgia or Georgia Tech did not recruit blacks in those days.
It did not stop him from dreaming and fortunately things worked out well for him as he became an All-American at Kansas State and 13 years with the Cleveland Browns, where he was defensive captain and Pro Bowl performer.
When denial comes about in a person's life, there is great disappointment, and in some cases bitterness, but not with Clarence Scott who understood what was going at that time. It wasn't right and the system denied opportunity to many young athletes, but Scott simply looked on the positive side.
''It was just the times and I don't blame anybody,'' he says. ''At that time we had a segregated school system. In college, there were not any black athletes playing at the majority of colleges. That was just the way the system worked. It was something we grew up with. The change came about right after I had enrolled at Kansas State.''
Vince Gibson had taken over at Kansas State, getting the first of three head coaching jobs at a school which, at best, usually won only a single game, sometimes two.
''He told us,'' Scott says, ''that if we came to Kansas State and were successful then it would be a lot better than going to a college where they were used to a lot of success. This recruiting pitch worked for me. What he said made sense. They had not done that well at Kansas State and I liked the idea of getting something done at a school which had not enjoyed any success.''
Gibson brought in some talented players and in his second year, Kansas State won four games and in 1970 the Wildcats won six games.
''You can imagine the reaction that took place in Manhattan, Kansas,'' he says, ''It was like we had just won the Rose Bowl.''
While Gibson was there, KSU defeated Oklahoma and Nebraska. Nebraska would not lose to KSU again until 1998, nearly three decades later. Purple, Kansas State's dominant school color, was in at Manhattan.
''There was purple every where we went,'' Clarence says. ''Downtown in all the stores. People were really proud of what we had accomplished.''
By the time he had finished college, Scott, who had always dreamed of playing professionally, not only was drafted first by the Browns, but they were his favorite team.
''I really loved the Browns,'' he says. ''There were no NFL teams in Atlanta, Miami and New Orleans in the early sixties and I became a Cleveland Browns fan.''
Scott enrolled at Kansas State thinking that he would play offense since he was an accomplished wide receiver, but Gibson and his coaches put him on defense where he would play the rest of his career. He was told that KSU was recruiting Lynn Dickey, who had a great reputation as a passer.
It only made sense to put Scott on offense. But he became a defensive starter as a sophomore (freshmen were not eligible) in those days.
''I didn't have any complaints,'' he says. ''I enjoyed defense and to be a starter made me realize that I could be very happy playing defense.
''When I got to Cleveland the Browns were used to winning all the time. We expected to win and there were times when we lined up against teams that were slightly better, we often came out ahead. I learned that there is something about winning when it becomes a habit. The Browns were a team which had respect and won games they were not supposed to win. I really enjoyed that experience.''
Recently, Scott was inducted into the State of Georgia Sports Hall of Fame, an honor he takes great pride in.
''I'm a Georgian,'' he says. ''I'm proud to be a Georgian and I am proud to be recognized by the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame.''

Insular-onset seizures are rare and easily misdiagnosed. In this article, we aim to highlight the often distinctive semiology of seizures involving the insula with reference to three cases. We suggest three points to aid the recognition of seizures involving the insula: (1) Seizures originating in the insula frequently present with a sensation of laryngeal constriction, dyspnoea or unpleasant somatosensory symptoms; (2) Seizures involving the anterior insula may have a silent onset, but tend to propagate rapidly to motor areas causing motor or hypermotor symptoms; (3) Seizures involving the posterior insula cause somatosensory symptoms, which are normally contralateral to the seizure onset.

The Slow Food movement was founded by Carlo Petrini in the small northern Italian town of Bra in 1986. Its initial aim was to support and defend good food, the enjoyment of eating and a slow pace of life. It then broadened to encompass a wider quality of life, as well as sustainability and environmental issues.
We wholeheartedly believe in the concept of Slow Food. We reflect this belief by the way we grow our animals - slowly, naturally and in harmony with nature - and by the way we like to enjoy food and encourage others to do the same, taking care over the cooking process, and sitting down together to eat it.
The team at Slow Food campaign for a better food system for all. They work hard to reconnect people with where their food comes from and how it is produced, in order to give consumers a better understanding of the implications of the choices they make about the food they put on their plates. They encourage people to choose nutritious food that tastes great from sustainable, local sources.
We hold many events here at Pipers Farm to give groups a better understanding of how we produce our meat. If you would like to find out more about Slow Food or arrange a visit to the farm please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

|J Crew top, Citizens of Humanity jeans, H&M belt, vintage LV bag, Kohls heels
I showed a glimpse of this outfit in yesterday's post but since I have more pictures, I thought I'd do a full post on it. It's no secret that the 70s are making a big comeback for this spring; everyone seems to be dusting off their wide-leg jeans and busting out their flowing, silk blouses–myself included. I bought these jeans a few years back when high-waisted, wide-leg pants were making yet another comeback (they come back every few years, it seems). I find it to be a pretty androgynous look and ultimately, that's what I like about it. I can just imagine it, back in 1972, where both men and women wearing a variation of this outfit to le discotheque. Let's boogie….in my apartment hallway.
