BEGINNING this year, most traffic offences will now attract heftier fines, in line with the 2016 National Budget statement given by Finance Minister, Patrick Chinamasa, last year.
The largest fines hikes are for offences involving motorists who overtake on solid white lines, drive without licences, operate vehicles with faulty foot brakes and proceed against red robots. Fines for these offences went up from US$20 to US$100 apiece.
Others, like encroaching white lines at traffic lights and verbally abusing road users, went up from US$10 to US$20.
In government's wisdom, the measures are expected to stem increasing carnage on the country's roads, caused largely by failure to observe road traffic regulations.
Chinamasa singled out drivers of commuter omnibus and mushika-shika — those pirate taxis plying city centre roads pick up and drop off passengers at undesignated points. He said these continued to risk the lives of passengers and other motorists due to negligent driving. It is very well that government is alert to the need to stem the needless toll on the country's roads. But there is an element of deception in the motive behind the increase in traffic offence fines.
Chinamasa avers that road traffic fines are meant to be a deterrent for criminal behaviour, and we agree with him on this. But his perception that the then-prevailing scale of fines, which were reviewed in 2009 when the country ditched its own currency for a multiple currency regime, do not promote safety and discipline on the roads is totally unfounded.
The fines which prevailed until the latest increases were indeed a reflection of the country's economic fundamentals, dominated largely by a tightening liquidity crunch. The problem with those fines was not necessarily that they were inadequate as a deterrent to traffic offences in the current economic environment, but that policing of our country's roads no longer promotes crime prevention due to widespread corruption.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police has not denied this, and has in fact put in place measures to flush out errant officials within the force, and this is commendable. But vice has become so rampant on our roads that the effect of the current increase in fines would be to make it easier for bribe-seekers to force motorists into making illicit payments, which would be far lower than the prescribed fines.
We welcome every move to ensure that carnage on our roads is reduced or even eliminated.
This includes a change in mentality for both traffic law enforcers and motorists. Government also needs to recognise that our roads have become so bad that they now constitute the biggest threat to the safety of all road users. Dealing with the state of roads should be the first step in ensuring safety on our roads.

This is a special and urgent call to arms to you and the people of life around the world: We must take action NOW to aid the pro-life resistance movement in Ecuador … and all of Latin America! Click here to send your much-needed support!
On September 28 the people of Ecuador will vote on whether or not to amend its Constitution so as to make abortion a legal right. If it passes it will inevitably lead to a domino effect that will topple the pro-life laws of all the countries in this Catholic continent. That is no exaggeration.
Knowing this, the pro-abortion forces have resorted to sending death-threats to some who most effectively oppose them.
Amparo Medina, the head of HLI's affiliate in Ecuador, recently received a shoebox with a dead rat and the following warning inside:
We who make the Citizenship Revolution … WILL NEVER ALLOW infiltrated agents from the extreme right, like yourself, to block our path. Remember that accidents happen, remember that accidental deaths occur daily in our country. DO NOT CONTINUE YOUR ANTI-WOMAN AND HOMOPHOBIC CAMPAIGN … death to traitors, death to those who oppose the nation, DEATH OR REVOLUTION. (Emphasis was in the original death threat.)
In a related incident, the severed head of a dog with a Eucharistic Host in its mouth was found in a Catholic chapel as a warning to clergy who dare to speak out. This is the direct result of the president of Ecuador calling on his thugs to insult and harass priests who dare to speak out against the upcoming abortion referendum. Profane acts have been committed against six churches … including the trampling of the Sacred Host and the painting of satanic symbols on church walls. It is shocking to learn that such things can happen in a so-called "democratic" country!
But these threats just confirm what we have always known about the promoters of abortion – they are violent and they are deadly!
In spite of all this, Amparo, the bishops, the priests and the other leaders of Ecuador's pro-life resistance movement remain committed to the fight. In fact, Amparo sent me a copy of the impassioned letter she sent out to her fellow Ecuadorans. It is filled with faith and confidence. She relates all that is happening to her and other resistance leaders, and then closes with these words:
We simply will not be silent. We will continue to speak out, to support our shepherds, our priests, and we will not allow our Mother the Church to be insulted. We are the majority, we cannot be quiet. … CHRISTIANS OF ECUADOR, LET US DEFEND OUR FAITH, LET US NOT BE SILENT, LET US SUPPORT OUR HOLY MOTHER CHURCH AND HER REPRESENTATIVES!! BE NOT AFRAID!!!
The bottom line is this: The people of Ecuador need our help … and they need it NOW!!!
Pro-life champions like Amparo and Archbishop Antonio Arregui Yarza, President of the Ecuadoran Bishops Conference, are literally risking their lives in order to beat back the abortion demon who threatens not just Ecuador, but all of Latin America. They are crying out to the people of life around the world to come to their aid.
That's why I've sent you this special and urgent Spirit & Life Newsletter.
Please click here to make an emergency contribution that HLI can use to send Amparo the materials and help she needs to lead Ecuador's pro-life resistance and rally the people to vote "NO" to abortion this September 28!
Your immediate help is required because that all-important referendum is just a few short weeks away.
I have already dispatched Adolfo Castañeda, the Director of Educational Programs for HLI's Hispanic Division (Vida Humana Internacional), to return to Ecuador after his missionary trip there last November. He is helping Amparo organize the pro-life resistance forces there and he is taking reams of pro-life materials with him … materials that HLI pro-life missionaries in other Latin American countries have used successfully to keep the abortion juggernaut at bay.
We also plan to help cover the cost for Amparo to publish and distribute a compelling book throughout Ecuador. The book is entitled: "TESTIMONIOS DE VIDA" ("Life Testimonies") and tells the story of the lives of courageous women and men who tell what it meant for them and their families to say "YES" to life despite the many trials and difficulties of everyday life.
All of this is going to cost HLI many thousands of dollars … dollars that were earmarked to fight other battles around the world. But the situation in Ecuador is so dire that I've been forced to divert those funds to this all-important fight now raging in Ecuador.
I'm counting on you to click here and rush HLI the largest gift you can so we can help the people of Ecuador … and keep legalized abortion out of Latin America!
The vile actions of the abortion zealots demand that we stand with Amparo and the valiant priests and bishops in Ecuador who are bravely defending the right to life against systematic campaigns and intrusion from foreign influences trying to impose western pro-abortion values on Latin America.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this vital matter. God bless you.

(Comprehensive Guide to Short Stories, Critical Edition)
"One of a Kind" is a story told by a first-person narrator, a young English writer, who meets an exiled Romanian dissident, Marian Tiriac, at a literary party. Through the course of their conversation, a subsequent and coincidental trip to Romania, and another chance meeting with Tiriac, the narrator learns the story of Nicolai Petrescu.
At the initial meeting between the narrator and Tiriac, the narrator shares an observation of his regarding Romanian artists: Romania has produced one great artist in each of several disciplines, but only one. He lists several artists and their respective disciplines. Tiriac adds a couple of names and disciplines to the list offered by the narrator, apparently corroborating the theory. However, between the two of them, they cannot name a great Romanian novelist. Tiriac concludes by stating that Romania has no novelists.
Roughly one year later, the narrator travels to a writer's conference in Bucharest, Romania. While touring the city, he and a companion from the conference happen on a prominently located bookstore. An entire display window is given over to a single book. Its author is a man named Nicolai Petrescu, and the narrator concludes that he must be a major Romanian writer to have so much attention from a bookstore that appears to be one of the major ones in the country.
Sometime after returning to England, the narrator meets Marian Tiriac again and asks him about Nicolai Petrescu, the...

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — In their closing statements, federal prosecutors say a Colorado woman faked a pregnancy, and then kidnapped her newborn nephew in Wisconsin in hopes of passing him off as her own son.
Prosecutor Stephen Sinnott on Thursday described 31-year-old Kristen Smith as a manipulative liar whose defense defies common sense.
Smith took 4-day-old Kayden Powell from the Town of Beloit in February. As police closed in she swaddled him inside a plastic tote that she left at an Iowa gas station.
Smith testified that the boy's father asked her to Kayden to Denver, and the parents would join her in a few days.
Sinnott says no new parents would send their newborn away without formula, diapers and other supplies. He also says a filled-out birth certificate application in Smith's home shows she planned to pass Kayden off as her own son, Kaysin.

Modric is desperate to move to London rivals Chelsea but Tottenham Hotspur are determined to hold on to their man and have rejected bids of £22 million and £27 million for the player.
Modric submitted a formal transfer request to try to force through the move, but Redknapp insists any such move would have no change on the club's stance that he is not for sale.
Chairman Daniel Levy has long maintained that Modric does not have a price but the midfielder is now pushing as hard as he can to leave. He has surprised Spurs with his determination to quit this summer.
''We know he wants to leave and whether he writes it down on a piece of paper doesn't really make any difference to our stance," Redknapp told the BBC.
''He's a great player and we don't want to lose him.''
Modric, who is just 14 months into a six-year deal at White Hart Lane, joined the rest of the squad on their tour of South Africa this week.
Tottenham play Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates and Redknapp is hopeful that the time away with his team-mates will end Modric's desire to leave the club.
"Hopefully he will go away and get a bit of football now and just get on with it," said Redknapp.
"We hope that he will come back and get ready for the new season."

5 Stories That Tell Us It's a Great Week for Marriage Equality
Folks, it's been a good week for marriage equality, both in the U.S. and abroad. Here are the main headlines so you can keep up-to-date with the equal rights fight.
1) Rhode Island Senate Says Yes to Marriage Equality
Rhode Island's Senate Judiciary Committee approved, in a 7-4 vote, a marriage equality bill on Tuesday while later voting down a counterproposal to put the issue of marriage equality to a referendum. What's more, all five Republican members of the 38-member Senate committed to supporting marriage equality.
Said the state's Republican caucus:
"Today we join the 209 other Republican state legislators across America who have stood up for the freedom to marry. [We are] deeply committed to the values of freedom, liberty and limited government. In accordance with those values, we believe that freedom means freedom for everyone, and that every citizen of Rhode Island deserves the freedom to marry the person they love. We support Senate Bill 38 because it rightfully extends the civil aspects of marriage to all Rhode Islanders while protecting the freedom of religion our state was founded upon."
The full Senate voted 26-12 on Wednesday to legalize marriage equality.
The House voted 51-19 in January to first advance the bill. The measure must now return to the House for a final vote, where it is expected to pass. Governor Lincoln Chafee has committed to signing the bill.
Rhode Island will join Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Maine, Maryland, and Washington, as well as the District of Columbia and three Native American tribes, in recognizing same-sex marriage.
2) Nevada Senate Says Yes to Gay Marriage
The Nevada Senate passed a resolution late on Monday in a first step to repealing the state's ban on marriage equality.
Senate Joint Resolution 13 aims to repeal a 2002 voter-enacted constitutional amendment banning recognition of same-sex marriage while also declaring Nevada recognizes all marriages regardless of gender.
The resolution passed in a 12-9 vote that saw Republican Sen. Ben Kieckhefer (Reno) voting with the Democratic majority.
Monday's legislative debate on the issue also saw Nevada State Senator Kelvin Atkinson (D-North Las Vegas) officially come out. While it was no secret that Atkinson is gay, until now, he had not addressed the issue so explicitly during legislative debate.
"I'm 44 years old. I have a daughter. I'm black. I'm gay. I have dealt with a lot of what folks are talking about. And I know some of you are first time hearing me say that. That I am a black gay male," Atkinson told colleagues in testimony you can listen to in full here.
The resolution now heads to the Assembly. If passed, and then once again passed by both chambers in 2015, the measure will go before voters for ratification in 2016.
3) Delaware House Passes Marriage Equality Bill!
Delaware's state House voted on Tuesday to narrowly approve marriage equality in a 23-18 vote.
The vote saw five Democratic legislators break party lines and vote against the measure. Republican Rep. Michael Ramone of Newark voted in favor of the bill and was the only Republican to do so.
Democratic Governor Jack Markell has promised to sign the bill if it can survive the Legislature.
The measure now heads to the Democratic-controlled Senate where another close vote is expected.
4) Lawmaker Who Holds Swing-Vote in Minnesota Announces Support for Marriage Equality
Minnesota's groundbreaking turn from fending off a 2012 constitutional amendment banning marriage equality to potentially being among the next handful of states to legalize same-sex marriage rights in 2013 continues apace with Senator Kent Eken, who previously voted along with four other Democrats to side with Republicans to block a same-sex marriage bill from being debated, now announcing he will likely vote in favor of marriage equality if a bill reaches the floor.
Put simply, Eken says his district has bigger things to worry about and now that he has heard from many constituents who favor the bill he feels that "People are just becoming more accepting of it. Even among many who are against it, there's a feeling that it's inevitable, that it's going to happen."
The bill could be debated within the next few weeks, most likely in the State House first. While getting a firm tally on support is difficult because several Democratic lawmakers remain indecisive, with Eken having confirmed he will likely support the bill it appears that the necessary number of votes are now within reach.
If the state legislature can pass the bill, Democratic Governor Mark Dayton has said he will sign the legislation. Should that happen, marriage equality would go into force in Minnesota on August 1.
5) French National Assembly Says 'Oui' to Marriage Equality
Despite the violence, intimidation and lying rhetoric from those opposed to the bill, France's National Assembly on Tuesday voted 331 to 225 in favor of France's marriage equality legislation, which after some wrangling will also include adoption rights for same-sex married couples. While this was largely procedural as the lower chamber had previously approved the bill and was simply giving a nod to reconcile the legislation with the Senate-approved version, there was always very remote chance that lawmakers might cave to pressure and withdraw the bill. They did not, the death threats to legislators didn't work, and marriage equality is expected to be law by August.
This sees France join Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, and New Zealand in recognizing marriage equality.

 Forcing a list into scalar context returns its last argument,

 Um, no. Make that NO. (:

 Constructs that would return a list of scalars if used in a list context may or may not return the last scalar of that list if used in a scalar context.

 I choose that wording very carefully as the word "list" is not narrowly defined for Perl and can mean any number of things (despite the fact that "scalar", "scalar context", and "list context" are all clearly defined for Perl).

 Many constructs do behave this way (one reason for the persistent nature of this myth). In particular, an array slice behaves precisely this way. So, if you actually did have a scalar context here, then your conclusion would be correct even though your reasoning was flawed.

If You Were Me and Lived In… The American West by Carole P. Roman
Publisher: Self Published
Genre: Children's Illustrated Non-Fiction
Length: Short Story (44 pgs)
Age Recommendation: 4+
Rating: 4 Stars
Review by: Stephanotis
Join Carole P. Roman and travel through time to visit the most interesting civilizations throughout history in her exciting new series. Learn what kind of food you might eat on the Oregon Trail, the clothes you wore in in the American West, what your name could be in the 19th century, and what children did for fun once their many chores were done. If You Were Me and Lived in…does for history what her other award-winning series did for culture. So get on-board this time-travel machine and discover the world through the eyes of a young person just like you.
This the sixth book in the If You Were Me and Lived in series, and like the previous ones, this title was just as entertaining and educating. I know the intended audience is middle grade readers, but I find myself learning something new with each book I read. For example, I had no idea that you're never supposed to wave at another man when you're on a horse, you simply nod and another no-no is never put on another man's hat.
This book is once again nicely illustrated by Paula Tabor and like the other in the series, complements the text. The author gives you a sense of the hardships settlers endured to find a new way to make a living. Not only is the journey on the Oregon Trail documented in this book but also what life was like for young people once the family arrived. Readers can learn about the types of chores young pioneers did and what type of schooling they had.
If you or your child wants to learn about the settlement of the American West, this is a book to definitely check out.

Does US Casinos Online Have Sports Betting?
Yes, there are a few US Casinos Online that have sports betting. This is much different then playing at the slot machines, or playing poker and blackjack. Sports betting is when a individual places a bet on their favorite sporting events, like NHL,and college football. Not all US casinos will offer this, but because it is a very popular form of gambling and more casinos have started offering sports betting; which is not only fun and exciting, but perfectly legal as well.
What Types Of Games Do US Casinos Online Have?
US Casinos Online offer only the very best in online gambling. Slot machines are the most popular game to play at an online casino, because they are extremely fun, simple and enjoyable. Many slot games have their own themes and some offer progressive jackpots. Table games such as blackjack and Poker are available as well. Roulette and scratch tickets are two incredibly popular and lucrative games for people to play at US Casinos Online. Many even have their own specialty games, which are unique to each casino.
Can International Players Join US Casinos Online?
While most US Casinos online do accept international players, there are a few that cannot do so. This is because gambling laws vary a great deal from country to country. For example, people have to be over the age of eighteen to play at a US casino online; where other counties' legal gambling age may be different. In order to allow Americans to gamble, internet casinos are governed by the gambling laws of the USA. This is to protect their players and to make sure that the casinos themselves do not end up facing legal trouble. The one way to determine what casinos allow international players is to read through their terms and conditions.
Why Don't US Online Casinos Accept e-Wallets?
While e-Wallets are a very convenient way in which an international player can withdraw and deposit money, US online casinos cannot accept that method for many reasons. Americans are much more likely to have a major credit card or a checking account than an e-Wallet account. Many e-Wallet companies do not permit Americans to sign up for their service, so it would not make any sense for a US online casino to use e-Wallets when there are many other payment options available. Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover are the most popular and easy to use deposit and withdraw methods, because when an individual makes a withdrawal or deposit, the transactions are instantaneous.
Do US Online Casinos Have To Be Downloaded?
While the majority of US online casinos have software that must be downloaded before a person can create an account and play, not all of them have to be downloaded. There are some US online casinos that allow people to preview their games in a person's browser, that way they know what to expect before they start the download. However, there are a few US online casinos that permit people to create an account and play a few games in a browser window without having to make an account. While browser play is more restricted than if a person downloaded the software, most casinos understand that not everyone has a high-speed internet connection, but they still may want to play a few games.

Ferry was more right than he knew, and in Woodall's final appearance in the City Game, the Pittsburgh senior provided Ferry with an up-close look at how far he's come.
Woodall scored 24 points and tied a career-high with five 3-pointers as the Panthers rolled to a 66-45 win to beat their crosstown rivals for the 12th straight time.
"I think he's doing a great job," Ferry said of Woodall. "He doesn't take many bad shots and now because he's not, he's so threatening. If you have breakdowns like we did, he's going to hit shots."
It was heady territory for a player making the switch to shooting guard, a move Woodall went along with after watching freshman James Robinson blossom so quickly this fall. The arrangement allows Woodall to play off the ball and find open spaces, something he did with ease against a Duquesne defense that gave him too much room to shoot.
"He was tremendous," Pitt coach Jamie Dixon said. "It might have been the best game he's played here."
Lamar Patterson added 13 points and freshman center Steven Adams had eight points and grabbed a career-high 14 rebounds for the Panthers (8-1), who pulled away after a sluggish start to continue their dominance over the Dukes. Pitt has now won 31 of the last 34 meetings between the schools separated by just two miles, and its current 12-game run is the longest by either program since the series began in 1932.
Sean Johnson led Duquesne (4-4) with 13 points but the Dukes shot just 31 percent (18 of 57) from the field and were never in it once Pitt got rolling midway through the first half.
"We played really hard, I didn't think we played well," Ferry said. "If you're going to beat Pitt, you have to out-rebound them and we certainly didn't do it today."
Not with Adams having his way in the lane. The 7-footer from New Zealand is a work in progress but he dominated the paint. His nine offensive rebounds were the second-most in school history by a freshman and helped Pitt post a 19-3 advantage in second-chance points.
"He's a big body and he goes after the ball," Patterson said of his teammate. "I think he just needs to get comfortable. I felt this game was a good boost for his confidence. I expect to see the same from here on out."
It would be a welcome development for the Panthers, who have won four straight overall by an average of 21 points. They had little issue against Duquesne, in a game that showcased just how deep the chasm between the two schools has become.
Pitt wore down the smaller, younger Dukes with its depth and Woodall's excellent outside shooting. The Panthers made nine of 17 3-pointers in all to overcome a flurry of chippies that rolled off the rim and led an exasperated Dixon to joke the team will go through a series of layup drills in practice when they return to practice on Thursday.
Dixon can deal with the misses, however, if Woodall can stay hot. The Dukes helped by giving Woodall plenty of room to work with in the backcourt.
"I think we was helping off too much on him," Johnson said. "He was getting his shot off real quick. By the time we would close out, the shot was up."
And more often than not, it was in.
The Dukes are rebuilding in Ferry's first season following a player exodus last spring that led to coach Ron Everhart's ouster. Duquense plays seven freshman and sophomores and was picked to finish last in the Atlantic 10.
Still, Ferry believed the Dukes could compete with the Panthers if they pushed the pace and made shots.
They did neither during an abysmal first half. Johnson actually drilled a 3-pointer on Duquesne's first possession, but the Dukes wouldn't score again for six minutes, clanging nine straight shots. Still, Pitt wasn't much better and a conventional three-point play tied the game at 15 before the Panthers finally found a rhythm behind Woodall.
The team captain went down with an abdominal injury in last year's City Game that changed the course of Pitt's season. He missed a month and the Panthers never recovered, failing to make the NCAA tournament field for the first time in more than a decade.
Woodall is healthy now, and so is Pitt. He scored eight straight points over the final 4 minutes of the first half as the Panthers used a 14-2 run to take control and continue their mastery in a rivalry that remains heavily one-sided.
Pitt took a 29-17 lead into the half and the Dukes never got within single digits the rest of the way. Whenever they would try to make it interesting, Woodall would knock down a jumper. By the end, the Pitt student section was chanting "this is our house" at Consol Energy Center, a neutral site that is a couple of long 3-pointers from the Duquesne campus.
Ferry downplayed the idea his players were overcome by the venue.
"We could have played this game in a parking lot somewhere," he said. "Pitt's a really good team."

Hi! I would like (shouldn't be nice) to be able to create projects with names like "03.listWithDetail"? noted that it starts with a number like:
The reason why I ask is because some people, like me! used to have a organized structure of folders.
Thanks or your time!
On my humble opinion, Designer 2 Groupers does not match what the documentation says, in other words it is not completed clear the correlation on the Designer-UI and the documentation, I'm sending screenshot:
This is the documentation URL:
Also, in the Vimeo's video "Sencha Touch 2 - Intro to List Component" you can check in the Minute: 3 sec: 30 (3:30), the UI is kind of ambiguous:
I updated EXT Designer from build 255 (I think) to 363. I opened my existing project and it got upgraded. Everything appears fine in Designer, however when I click "Deploy", it only deploys "Models". "Stores" and "Views" are not deployed (no files are created).
Is there any trick to address it?
After migrating to build #363 the grid column names are not showing properly in "Project Inspector". They are listed as "MyColumnXX" (where XX is some number). Before it used to show columns by using "header" (or maybe "dataIndex").
Please note, it does not affect actual column headers on the grid itself. It's just "project inspector"which shows columns in "awkward" way.
I would appreciate if it could be fixed.
Aaron Conran
One more little bug (in build #363):
I just noticed that designer puts the wrong event signature for "beforeedit" event in "Ext.grid.plugin.CellEditing".
Instead of "function (e, options)" (as per API), it puts "function (editor,e, options)" (with one extra param).
Thanks for your prompt responses Aconran.

"Freedom Feminism": I'm For It
I recently called myself a "personist," meaning that I'm for fair treatment for all people, male and female, but I can buy into what Christina Hoff Sommers is selling here.
Christina Hoff Sommers writes at reason (in a response to Sharon Presley who slammed Hoff Sommers' book, Freedom Feminism):
Freedom feminism shares with egalitarianism an aversion to prescribed gender roles: Women should be free to defect from the stereotypes of femininity if they so choose. At the same time, however, it respects the choices of free and self-determining women--when they choose to embrace conventional feminine roles. Nowhere do I say women should stay in the home or that women who defy convention are "aberrations." I simply note that, to the consternation of hardline contemporary genderists, many women, when given their full set of Jeffersonian freedoms, continue to give priority to the domestic sphere. Somehow in Presley's mind "giving priority" means a total rejection of the workplace. Not at all. But many women, especially when they have children at home, do appear to have a strong preference for working part-time.
Hoff Sommers is also correct on the biological basis of sex differences:
Presley faults me for accepting the possibility that the sexes are equal--but different. "From a feminist point of view--and from an individualist one--Sommers' stereotyping is unacceptable." She reports that the consensus among "most serious scientists" is that gender differences are small and insignificant. She cites a few of her favorite feminist authors as proof. That won't do. In fact, there is a vast body of serious research indicating a biological basis for sex differences. In 2009, David Geary, a University of Missouri psychologist, published Male, Female: The Evolution of Human Sex Differences under the auspices of the American Psychological Association. This thorough, fair-minded and comprehensive survey of the literature includes more than 50 pages of footnotes citing studies by neuroscientists, endocrinologists, geneticists, anthropologists, and psychologists showing a strong biological basis for many gender differences. While these particular studies may not be the final word, they cannot be dismissed or ignored. Presley's instinct is to ignore or dismiss research that challenges her worldview.
Presley seems to be captive to a 1970s-style of "free to be you and me" feminism that sought to free human beings from the constraints of gender. But is that truly liberating? In a 2008 study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, a group of international researchers compared data on gender and personality across 55 nations. Throughout the world, women tend to be more nurturing, risk averse and emotionally expressive, while men are usually more competitive, risk taking, and emotionally flat. But the most fascinating finding is this: Personality differences between men and women are the largest and most robust in the more prosperous, egalitarian, and educated societies. According to the authors, "Higher levels of human development--including long and healthy life, equal access to knowledge and education, and economic wealth--were the main nation-level predictors of larger sex differences in personality." New York Times science columnist (and awesome libertarian) John Tierney summarized the study this way: "It looks as if personality differences between men and women are smaller in traditional cultures like India's or Zimbabwe's than in the Netherlands or the United States. A husband and a stay-at-home wife in a patriarchal Botswanan clan seem to be more alike than a working couple in Denmark or France."
Why should that be? The authors of the study hypothesize that prosperity and equality bring greater opportunities for self-actualization. Wealth, freedom, and education empower men and women to be who they are.

A world of fun, sun, outdoor adventure and natural beauty await you. What else could a runner want in a winter weekend getaway?
It is sure to be an unforgettable race experience in a magical paradise. The Pensacola Double Bridge 15K Run spans two bridges, across Pensacola Bay and Santa Rosa Sound. This spectacularly scenic tour includes downtown Pensacola, the historic district, picturesque Bayfront Parkway and a run through Gulf Breeze and onto Pensacola Beach—and of course, the famous bridges.
The 5K beckons both runners and walkers to enjoy the sights from Gulf Breeze to beautiful Pensacola Beach on Santa Rosa Island and the Gulf Islands Seashore. Runners will delight in the gentle breezes and the sight of crystal clear waves from an emerald sea.
With so much to do and see in Pensacola Bay area, your running adventure will extend beyond the race and will be filled with endless possibilities for the whole family to enjoy. This is a magical place where the beaches stretch sparkling and white; brimming with natural beauty. Open the door to a world alive with a 450 year old history, the National Aviation Museum, plenty of outdoor adventure, restaurants and entertainment. Be sure to explore the downtown area filled with arts, culture and an exciting nightlife. The area also boasts a stellar lineup of accommodations to meet any budget and lifestyle.
This unique charm of the region owes itself to the nearby Gulf Islands National Seashore, an unspoiled paradise that bookends Pensacola Beach to the east and west. Whatever your tastes, Pensacola Beach and Santa Rosa Island have plenty to offer.
View from the Bridges
The Double Bridge Run offers more than double running enjoyment given that both the 15K and the 5K courses show off the stunning landscape that Pensacola Bay is famous for. More than half of the 15K (9.3 miles) offers fantastic water views from Pensacola across Pensacola Bay and Santa Rosa Sound to the shimmering white sands of Pensacola Beach. The 5K runs from Gulf Breeze to the co-located finish at Pensacola Beach on the Gulf of Mexico.
The Double Bridge Run 15K starts on south Polofax Street in front of the new De Luna Park in downtown Pensacola at 7:00 a.m. It is a USATF-certified 9.3 mile course that begins in the historic district, runs north on Palofax Street, east on Garden Street, south on Alcaniz Street for a tour of downtown, then east on the beautiful Bayfront Parkway and across the Pensacola Bay Bridge to Gulf Breeze. From there the course crosses the Bob Sikes Bridge to Pensacola Beach.
The 5K Race and Walk will start at 8:00 a.m. at the Gulf Breeze Schools. It starts with a loop in Gulf Breeze before heading out to the Bob Sikes Bridge and the Gulf Breeze Parkway to Pensacola Beach.
Prize Money and Awards
Monetary awards will be given to the first three overall finishers for men and woman in the 15K- $1,250 to the first male and female finisher, second is $500 and third place is $250. In addition to the overall top three, there will be awards for the top three masters, grand masters, and senior grandmasters. Prizes for age divisions go three deep in both the 15K as well as the 5K. Awards in the 5K walkers division go five deep to men and women in two age divisions: 0-39 and 40+.
It is no surprise that the Pensacola Double Bridge Run, with its great location, terrific organization and attention to detail by the host organization, the Pensacola Sports Association, draws some of the best runners around. Last year's male winner was James Carney with a time of 44:46. Janet Cherobon had a winning time of 51:05. Previous year's winners included two-time USA Olympian, Amy Rudolph.

Charleston, SC (WLTX) - The admitted white supremacist responsible for the massacre of nine people inside a Charleston church has plead guilty to state charges against him.
Dylann Roof appeared in court Monday afternoon, where he entered the plea to murder and attempted murder charges. In exchange for the plea, he'll receive life in prison without parole from the state of South Carolina.
The action was largely a formality, since Roof had already been sentenced to death at the beginning of the year following his conviction in federal court on murder and other related charges. By taking this option, the state avoids another lengthy trial for a verdict where the outcome was virtually certain, and will begin the process of transferring him to federal custody so he can begin serving time in confinement in a U.S. prison facility.
During last December's trial, prosecutors showed videos and journals that proved that Roof killed his victims because they were black. The recording and writings showed a man with a deep hatred of African-Americans and other minorities, and who spoke of starting a race war.
Roof had planned and prepared for the mass shooting by doing things like buying a gun, having target practice in his backyard, researching and studying racist websites and driving to the church several times in the months leading up to the shooting.
Before being sentenced in federal court, Roof was unrepentant, saying "I felt like I had to do it and I still feel like I had to do it."
The victims that night were all in church for a Bible study. Roof sat with them for about an hour, then pulled out his gun and started firing. Three people survived the rampage.
Roof is expected to be transferred to a federal prison within the next few weeks.

The Syria Files,
Files released: 1432389
The Syria Files
Thursday 5 July 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing the Syria Files – more than two million emails from Syrian political figures, ministries and associated companies, dating from August 2006 to March 2012. This extraordinary data set derives from 680 Syria-related entities or domain names, including those of the Ministries of Presidential Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Information, Transport and Culture. At this time Syria is undergoing a violent internal conflict that has killed between 6,000 and 15,000 people in the last 18 months. The Syria Files shine a light on the inner workings of the Syrian government and economy, but they also reveal how the West and Western companies say one thing and do another.

Re: BRAMES from Mississippi
In Response To: Re: BRAMES from Mississippi ()
I did some checking. My Beckley cousins appear to be direct descendants of Jacob Brame (Braham), listed in the 1870 Pontotoc County census. His age is 61, and in his house were Caroline (40) and several children. Who appears to be Jacob's son, Elias Brame, is next door. Elias's son, Richard, and then Richard's son, Robert Brame, are my cousins' ancestors.
I also saw a Major Brame as the son of John & Martha Brame in 1880. His age matches your Major, and there's a daughter named Betsy. I can not even tell you the numerous times I've come across people that did not quite fit the names/ages of the people I was looking for, and they turned out to be the correct family. Also, I never try to match up parents' birthplaces, because it most cases, different birthplaces would be reported in various censuses.
I wonder if John Brame is a son of Jacob Brame?
