Ezequiel Lavezzi reveals he "has to live locked away at home or leave training in the boot of a car" because the passion of the Napoli fans is too much.
El Pocho is currently nursing an injury that will keep him out for several weeks, but should be back for the Champions League clash with Chelsea.
"It is going to be an historic encounter and we hope to go through to the next round. The Blues are an important side, but we are tough to beat," Lavezzi told Argentine newspaper Olè.
The striker has been linked with a move away from Naples, mainly because the supporters are a little too passionate.
"I appreciate the love that people give me when I make them happy. However, I still haven't found a calm place to hang out. I practically have to live locked away at home. I always eat in the same places so I don't have to go into the city centre.
"Once I went to a shopping centre to buy some clothes and it took me three hours to leave! The traffic was blocked off by the sheer number of people and they had to call the police.
"There were other incidents too. Once after I scored against Milan, a fan told me he wanted to gift me a race horse. Sometimes I have to leave the training session locked in the boot of my car. I am certain no other place on earth provides love like this."

Thanks to all who came out last night to hear the remarkable Mary Ellen Sheets share her story at our Evening at WKAR featuring Makers: Women Who Make America.
We had a terrific group and lively discussion. There is something energetic and motivating to hear about these amazing women who are doing good — in the world and in our own community.
There are a lot of them right here in mid-Michigan and that's why I'm pleased to announce our Michigan Makers project. Over the next few months I'll be interviewing some of the area's top women. You may well know some of their names, like MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon. But I also want to introduce you to some who are less well-known but doing remarkable work.
You probably have some ideas as well, so let me know. We're taking nominations here at WKAR — just submit an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and explain who your suggestion is and why you think she is a Michigan Maker!

Academy Award® Nominee
Lebanon in the year 2000. Not far from the old seafarer's fortress, Beaufort, is a military base with the same name kept by the Israeli army. This heavily guarded post has been here since the war in Lebanon in 1982. It is a symbol not only of Israel's most controversial campaign for military control of Lebanon, but also of a sacrificial struggle during which many soldiers lost their lives.
The Israeli troops move out of Lebanon, leaving behind their base at Beaufort. On the evening of May 24th, the base is destroyed, blown up by thousands of mines. The powerful explosion marks the end of 18 years of Israeli occupation.
The film tells the story of Liraz Liberti, the 22-year-old commander of Beaufort, and his troops during the last few months prior to their withdrawal. The story does not center on the war but on their retreat. The base is still under enemy fire as Liraz prepares to explode the site, thus destroying everything that his friends and comrades have died for trying to defend.
Starring Alon Abutbul, Eli Altonio, Daniel Brook, Oshri Cohen, Gal Friedman

Greenwich Hospital puts a friendly face on medical care with Teddy Bear Clinic
Published 5:11 pm, Tuesday, September 25, 2012
Greenwich Hospital is putting a friendly -- and furry -- face on medical care this weekend.
The hospital hosts its 14th annual Teddy Bear Clinic on Sunday, Sept. 30.
Youngsters are invited to bring their favorite stuffed animal or doll for evaluation and treatment at an outdoor mini-hospital, where doctors, nurses and other health professionals from more than 30 hospital departments and specialties will be on hand.
Depending on the diagnosis, bears and other fuzzy patients may receive X-rays, ultrasound, surgery, splints or stitches.
As they learn about their toys' medical conditions, children can peer through microscopes and tiny surgical cameras, help prepare medication and administer first aid.
Interactive opportunities continue with tips on exercise, healthy eating, new babies, sun protection -- even lessons on how to relax. There will be ambulance tours, too.
Greenwich Medical Building Parking Lot, 49 Lake Ave., Greenwich. Sunday, Sept. 30, noon-3 p.m. Free. 203-863-3627, www.greenwichhospital.org.

BC Ferries says a controversial new cable ferry from Vancouver Island to Denman Island has officially gone into service.
The Baynes Sound Connector is the first cable ferry in the fleet and replaces the Quinitsa, the current boat on the route. Existing schedules remain the same.
According to a release from BC Ferries, the new ferry uses less than half the fuel of the Quinitsa, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 480 tonnes of CO2 equivalent annually.
"This is an exciting day for BC Ferries as we welcome the cable ferry into regular operation and see the successful outcome of implementing a technology new to coastal B.C. that has proved to have significant cost and environmental benefits," said Mike Corrigan, BC Ferries' President and CEO.
"We are very pleased with the new ship and its strong performance, exceeding contract specifications and reducing the environmental footprint of our operations."
BC Ferries says the new ferry is much quieter than the Quinitsa, operating at 23 decibels below the usual noise level.
Impact on marine traffic
However, some residents of Denman and Hornby Islands had expressed concern over whether a cable ferry will be able to handle ocean conditions and West Coast weather — and the impact on marine traffic.
No other boats are allowed to cross over the underwater cables during the entire 10 minutes it takes for the ferry to cross between Buckley Bay to Denman Island.
Red signal lights have been installed at the cable ferry docks to indicate when other boats must stop.
BC Ferries expects to save $1.75 million per year through reduced crew, maintenance and fuel costs on the 50-car ferry, noting that adds up to $70 million over the 40-year lifespan of the vessel.

Bell Peppers with Summer Vegetables
While vegetable dishes usually take second billing, this side-dish casserole can easily assume star status when served alongside simple grilled meats or fish. Bell peppers filled with fresh corn, cherry tomatoes, and onion become mini casseroles. For a striking presentation, use yellow and orange peppers as well as red ones.
Level: Moderate
Serves: 8
- 4 red bell peppers
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 3 clove garlic
- 1½ c. fresh corn
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. pepper
- 2 c. red and golden cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp. fresh oregano
- 1 tsp. lemon zest
- ½ c. goat cheese
- ¼ c. cream cheese
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss the peppers in 2 tablespoons olive oil and place in a large baking dish and set aside.
- Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the onion and garlic, and cook for 3 minutes. Add the corn, salt, and pepper and cook for 3 more minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, oregano, and lemon zest and divide the mixture evenly among the 4 pepper halves; set aside.
- Mix the goat cheese and cream cheese together and distribute in heaping teaspoonfuls among the peppers. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the cheese begins to brown -- 5 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Scorpius's main problem is that the Weasleys's infuriating daughter has the prettiest red curls and most captivating blue eyes he possibly has ever seen. . . .

"Things are really getting out of hand..." Lily's one of those girls who doesn't believe in 'perfect', or 'happily ever after'. She's lost all her hope of happiness after her mother left her at such a young age. So naturally, when James comes along torturing her and asking her out countless times, she doesn't think much of it. Until things start to turn around, and the boy who she always thought meant nothing to her starts to mean everything to her.

text:
It was inevitable that the global debate on allowing same-sex couples to marry would generate an intersecting debate on what marriage is for. Only by determining the purpose of marriage, can we decide if same-sex partnerships fulfil that purpose.
David Novak's contribution to this debate is a comprehensively-stated case for excluding same-sex couples because they cannot fit what he deduces marriage ought to be. Novak's case is important in the Australian context because almost all the serious-minded opponents of marriage equality in this country espouse some part of his thesis.
The Catholic Bishops share Novak's belief that marriage pre-exists the state and cannot be changed.
Many Protestant pastors agree with Novak that marriage is fragile and vulnerable and should not be changed.
Like Novak, most of Australia's marriage equality opponents believe marriage and same-sex relationships are chalk and cheese, and pine for a largely mythical and sometimes frightening past when marriage was what they want it to be.
Where Novak differs is the depth of his argument, and the fact he responds to common critiques of this argument, making a response to his case a crucial part of the Australian marriage equality debate.
Transcending the state
To establish that marriage is his to define, Novak must first seize it back from those who define it now - namely, the state and society - and invest it with some kind of inherent meaning that is not subject to the contingencies of time and place:
"The state inherited marriage from traditions that predate the founding of the state. These traditions are pre-political in the way culture precedes secular society and its polity, and in many ways transcends them."
Novak isn't simply distinguishing between marriage as law and marriage as it is practiced in everyday life.
He is creating a kind of theoretical "state of nature" for marriage and family from which the state, faith, society and, not least, the complexities of everyday experience have been removed, and reason alone, his reason, prevails.
It's tempting to see Novak's point about the pre-existence of marriage as a disingenuous way to re-introduce the concept of God into the debate only paragraphs after Novak assured us that he has not deduced his position "from authoritative theological propositions."
Talk of marriage as "God-ordained" has a strictly limited audience. This is probably why the aforementioned Bishops declare their opposition to same-sex marriage is based on a concept of "Universal Natural Law" that has nothing to do with the Bible, even though the former confirms their version of the latter in almost every way.
But let's take Novak at his non-theological word - the state can correct heterosexual marriage, say, by removing legal inequities formerly suffered by women, but it cannot extend marriage to include same-sex couples.
The example he uses to explain this distinction is instructive.
He argues that public schools are created by the state to ensure an educated citizenry, so it was perfectly legitimate for the state to de-segregate schools in the 1960s. But because marriage as an inherently heterosexual union "pre-exists," the state is exceeding its power to remove discrimination by allowing same-sex couples to marry.
In fact, education and marriage have more in common than Novak concedes. For most of western history both were regulated by the church and/or parents. Generally, only the wealthy were formally educated or had their marriages legally recognised.
Only in the modern period did the state assume control over education and legal marriage and extend both to all classes of people.
Education of the young "pre-exists" the state no less than marriage does. The state's removal of discrimination in one is no more or less legitimate than the removal of discrimination from the other.
Of course, the other parallel is that marriage was also racially segregated until the 1960s, both in the United States and in parts of Australia.
Supporters of the ban on inter-racial marriages declared that allowing such unions would destroy marriage and society because they offended against God and/or Nature's plan. Similar rhetoric was deployed by defenders of the legally-entrenched domination of husbands over their wives.
But they were wrong. Far from being undermined by these challenges to its "traditional definition," marriage benefited from no longer being a vehicle for prejudice.
Clearly, the state and society can and do legitimately reform marriage to better reflect values like equality and fairness.
"The only true reason"
Does same-sex marriage fit this historic pattern of reform? Will it benefit marriage or render it meaningless as Novak suggests?
Having attempted intellectually to sequester marriage, Novak then attempts to invest it with what he believes is its one obvious purpose - and the only legitimate purpose for the state's involvement in marriage - the begetting and raising of children.
He dodges the obvious response that heterosexuals who are infertile can marry by declaring the law is only made "for what usually obtains."
But this is hard to accept. If, as Novak says, "procreation combined with child rearing is the only true public reason for marriage" then marriage law would impose some expectation or obligation on heterosexual partners to procreate.
Instead, it is completely silent about fertility and child-rearing.
It is a double-standard to exclude same-sex couples from marriage on the basis of a principle that doesn't apply in any way to those heterosexual couples who can marry.
Of course, there is a cultural association between marriage and children, and this is where Novak turns next.
Having married parents can provide children with legal, social and emotional stability, security and recognition. But this is an argument for allowing same-sex marriages, given that ever more same-sex couples are raising children and ever more research shows these children are fairing as well as their peers.
So, not surprisingly, this is not the association between marriage and children that Novak has in mind.
He argues that children have a need and a right to be raised by their biological father and mother. For Novak the idea of two people of the same sex raising a child is
"unnatural, inasmuch as a woman is now represented to function as the children's new 'father', or a man is now represented to function as the children's new 'mother'."
This is a common argument from opponents of marriage equality. It seems so self-evident that children do better with a father and a mother that opponents of equality rarely bother to present sound empirical evidence to back up the claim. Novak is no exception.
He dismisses empirical evidence about parenting outcomes mentioned above as an irrelevant argument based on "utility." Clearly, not even science can stand against the elegant, unbending abstractions Novak prefers.
Where Novak differs with most of those who share his view is that he draws the logical conclusion, not only that homosexual adoption should be discouraged and same-sex co-parents go legally unrecognised, but that artificial reproductive technology involving two women or two men is a "conspiracy" to deprive children of their biological parents and should not be legally permitted.
At this point most Australians would probably turn away. In this country, same-sex partners have access to the same fertility services, and increasingly to the same parental recognition, as heterosexual couples.
But this isn't the only alarming aspect of Novak's argument about marriage and children. Despite drawing out the implications of his hostility to same-sex parenting, he conspicuously fails to define exactly what the specialist "functions" of a father and a mother are.
Do fathers teach football rules and firearm use? Perhaps they impose discipline and model emotional stoicism? If so, they are only needed at nights and weekends. The rest of the time they can go to work and provide.
Are mothers more likely to have the patience to change nappies, the delicacy to darn baby clothes and the instinct to nurture? If so, it's probably best for them to stay at home in order to fulfil their "natural function."
Opponents of marriage equality never explain why a child needs a male and female parent because they know their argument is inherently sexist. It judges each of us, not on the basis of our individual character, morality, skills or experience, but simply on the basis of our gender.
When taken to its logical extension the father/mother argument would be no more palatable to the majority of people than the biblical God opponents of equality carefully avoid mentioning.
Perhaps because he is aware of this, Novak declares his opposition to some of the grosser legal inequalities that once prevailed between husbands and wives, for example a wife being "considered an appendage to her husband in matters of domestic property."
But his out-dated values also emerge elsewhere, including in his apparent opposition to a woman's right to choose an abortion and his desire to eliminate no-fault divorce in order to protect children.
It doesn't seem to matter to Novak that women have been the main beneficiaries of removing fault-based divorce, or that a child may suffer far more from the loveless, emotionally abusive marriage of her parents, than from their divorce.
"The expressive aspect of marriage"
But there is a much more important problem with Novak's equation of marriage with children than the lack of science or the abundance of sexism he deploys when drawing the link.
The problem is that marriage is about more than children. Novak refers to these other features of marriage using terms coined by Martha Nussbaum, the pro-equality academic with whom he takes issue. They are marriage's "expressive aspect": "sexual relations, friendship and companionship, love, conversation and mutual responsibility."
I can't see how Novak can so blithely separate these from child rearing. Surely, a healthy relationship between parents is the foundation upon which a healthy relationship between parents and child is built?
If the state has an interest in recognising marriage because it is good for kids, then it has an interest in the "expressive aspect" of marriage for the same reason.
More than this, the state has an interest in the "expressive aspect" of marriage for the sake of partners in that marriage.
The study of marriage and its impacts on the health, wealth and happiness of partners has grown so much in the last decade it is almost a discipline in its own right.
What marriage studies have shown is that, compared to singles or unmarried partners, married couples tend (a) to live longer, healthier lives, (b) to rely more on each other rather than the state in times of personal crisis and (c) to experience a greater sense of belonging, security and happiness.
How is it not in the interest of the state to legally recognise, entitle and protect marriages when being married offers these benefits?
David Novak is obviously someone who values tradition. This makes it all the more puzzling that when he came to define marriage he failed to consider the definition that is the most traditional of all, but which also echoes the contemporary studies I have mentioned and can still be heard from the lips of marrying partners when they vow:
"to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part."
If an ideal marriage is about one thing, it is about the enduring conjugal love that mutually sustains two people through their lives. From this everything else about marriage springs, including the care of children. There is nothing in this old but self-renewing definition of marriage that excludes same-sex couples.
The exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage also looks odd when we consider the ways in which marriage has responded to modern notions of gender equality and personal choice.
In law, and increasingly in practice, matrimony is now the union of two legally-equal, autonomous adults who are responsible for the choice of if and when to marry, the choice of how to conduct their marriage, and the choice of if and when to end it.
Indeed, it is precisely this element of equality and choice in marriage that prompts debate on same-sex marriage. Only when wives and husbands are legally, socially and economically equal does it make sense for there to be a marriage of two husbands or two wives. Only when marriage is a choice for the heterosexual majority does the denial of that choice to the homosexual minority become an issue.
Seen from this perspective it is not same-sex couples who seek to re-define marriage. Both the enduring, core meaning of marriage, and marriage in its generally-accepted modern manifestation, can readily embrace us.
It is people like Novak who seek to redefine marriage according to abstract principles, unrealistic norms and oppressive expectations that the majority of Australians would find out-dated and alien.
Why Novak and his counterparts do this, I cannot say. Perhaps they are redefining marriage to shut out same-sex couples, or perhaps they are using the same-sex marriage debate to legitimise their inflexible, idealised vision for marriage?
Either way, the fact that redefining marriage is their chief response to the demand for marriage equality shows how impoverished their case against equality really is.

text: My understanding is that ldconfig does 2 things: 1. Create symbolic links /usr/lib/foo.so.n is made a link to the most recent library whose soname is foo.so.n; nothing happens if this is already true. 2. Update the cache file /etc/ld.so.cache If a library is needed (eg. during loading of a process by the dynamic linker) and its soname is found in the cache, it can be accessed directly; strace a process to see this (open, read, mmap, close, ...). If its soname is not found in the cache, ld goes through a sequence of up to (at least a possibility of) 12 directories, I guess in some priority order, in an attempt to find the library (actually, the runtime symlink, as created above). Policy 8.1. already recommends ("should") that packages include the runtime symlink. If it *is* included, ldconfig won't update the cache, since only one version of a shared library can be installed at a time, since the shared library version is a part of the package name. Right? Policy requires running ldconfig to avoid having to unnecessarily search for potentially many libraries at each program execution; this makes perfect sense. However, ldconfig is pretty slow on some machines, eg. laptops with slow disks or low memory. Dist-upgrading presently requires running ldconfig once for each installed or upgraded library; on a machine with a fast disk or lots of ram to cache /usr/lib/, this doesn't matter much; only the first execution will be slow. I know this has been discussed before (#68981), but I still don't understand why can't happen just once, at the end of the dpkg run. Is it, at this point, just because dpkg doesn't support this kind of hook/trigger/affects? If so, it would be useful for some program to include ../something/ldconfig-once, in the style of the backgrounded-menu-updates-after-dpkg-exits, and debhelper to use that instead of calling ldconfig directly. Ack that it is ugly.. Some of the bug logs indicate that dependencies will be broken if ldconfig is only run once; my understanding is that this is not true. But maybe I misunderstand something..

According to Politico's Friday cover (which we won't link to and satisfy their troll-baiting thirst), the true "feminist nightmare" is Michelle Obama. Yes. That Michelle Obama. Rather than focus on actual feminist critiques of the First Lady, Politico tore down her work for failing to look like either Big Macho Male Politics or the magazine's blurry vision of grassroots feminist organizing. (It also attributed a quote to the Feministing staff that we didn't write. But whatever.)
The article boils down to four Politico criteria for being a real feminist. Here they are:
1. Only talk about Serious Manly Problems.
Are you interested in childhood literacy? Veterans' homelessness? Access to nutritious foods? Sorry, lady, but these aren't political issues. Politics is only about guns and bombs and oil and… education reform? But I guess only ed reform for big kids who already know how to read, because "reading to children" is apparently too feminine to be political.
2. Don't dress well.
Are your feet "fashionably shod?" Do you have sartorial tips to share? Sorry, lady, but that means you aren't a feminist. Although if you're not super toned and fashionable we'll probably ignore everything you say. Just FYI.
3. Be medium-angry.
If you're not rabid enough, we'll say you're not a feminist. Then again if you're really angry – particularly if you're black and really angry – we'll probably call you a terrorist. Sorry, lady, but like Goldilocks you need to make sure you get it juuuuuuust right. "She tried Mama Bear's porridge and it was anti-feminist. She tried Papa Bear's porridge and it was terrorist. Then she tried Baby Bear's porridge and it was perfectly tone-policed."
4. Don't raise your kids.
Sorry, lady, but if you're serious about serving as "mom-in-chief," you're obviously not serious about anything else. If you're not, we'll probably shame you incessantly for neglecting your children and denying your maternal nature and being a witch. But at least we'll think you're a respectable feminist.

A perfectly respectable Old Testament name ruined forever through its association with the odious Uriah Heep in David Copperfield. Some people also find this name just too close to the word urine. These negative connotations may be wearing off, however. (Perhaps because people don't read as much Dickens as they used to.) Since 1997, this name has gone from zero to hero; in 2016, Uriah ranked in at a very respectable Number 547.

But after fighting tooth-and-nail to a 12-13 disadvantage in Game 3, the toll of a three-game week against top-flight competition seemed to set in for Sierra, and Oakdale took advantage.
The Mustangs surrendered just three more T'Wolf points in the third stanza and won the match going away, 25-22, 23-25, 25-15, 25-13.
Jaci Powell was credited with 23 kills, but the senior was never more lethal than at the end of Game 1. Oakdale fought from behind the entire game to make it 19-19 before Powell sent home a pin-point tip finish that lit a fire under her teammates all the way to the finish line.
"Jaci will do everything," Sierra head coach Tevani Liotard said. "She saw us all up, that was a great move. So I just told them, 'Hey, you've got to give her credit for reading the coverage.'"
Undeterred, Sierra responded with another gritty performance in Game 2, the difference being that Jaslynn Liotard (six kills, six blocks) and Alysia Atkins (13 kills) had the last laugh.
Sierra took a quick lead in Game 3 but fell behind just as quickly. Liotard's boisterous stuff block made it 7-8, and both sides traded blows until Oakdale started to run away with it.
After four games against Sonora Monday and five more against Ceres Tuesday, the Timberwolves appeared to run out of gas.
"You could see it," Liotard said. "There were those long, long rallies in the second game too. At one point I had to call a timeout just to tell them to breathe."
Modesty Rodriguez finished with 18 assists and 10 service points (three aces), and Chelsea Bereta had seven digs and eight service points.
Michelle Arroyo went down with a rolled ankle in Game 4, but not before she had picked up four digs and four more kills.
Juli Powell had 20 digs, Domi Powell had a block, and Jackee Lee was credited with 45 assists and five aces for the Mustangs.

My events
Clubs and communities
For most new staff, joining the EPO means leaving their home town or country. Relocating to the EPO sites - Munich, The Hague, Berlin and Vienna - is made easier by frequent social events and a wide variety of clubs and communities in which staff can get together in their free time and pursue shared interests.
Each EPO site has its own social committee ("Amicale"), which organises social activities and oversees the various clubs.
Amicale activities
Regular social events play an important role in bringing EPO staff - and their families - together. These include Christmas parties, summer festivals, music parties, after-work lounges, children's field trips and an annual "inter-Office weekend" for staff from all four sites. The Amicale also co-ordinates all sorts of courses, ranging from languages through cuisine to fitness and sport.
So how about learning Chinese, discovering the intricacies of gourmet chocolate, or giving fencing a try?
Clubs and communities
Ever wanted to play in a big band or join a motor bike club? Or get together with other computer buffs and brainstorm the next-generation operating system?
There are between 50 and 70 special-interest clubs in Munich and The Hague, covering all kinds of sports, hobbies and interests. Under the umbrella of the Amicale, these clubs offer a wide variety of social activities and contact to like-minded individuals working at the EPO, and help new arrivals connect quickly to existing communities. And staff are of course always welcome to start their own clubs to share their interests with others.

Oracle trims workforce
Who's next?
Oracle is joining the IT herd and culling jobs - a move affecting between one and two per cent of staff.
The software giant said today that up to 866 jobs would go worldwide "through normal attrition and regular business performance assessments".
The staff cuts come a week after Oracle met reduced fiscal third quarter results, with profits up 16 per cent.
At the time Oracle CFO Jeffrey O Henley said the US economy downturn had affected profit growth more than expected, adding that "current economic uncertainty continues to limit our visibility going forward". ®

Speedways towards tsunami-hit Japanese regions blockedMarch 14th, 2011 - 12:11 pm ICT by IANS
Natori (Japan), March 14 (IANS/RIA Novosti) Japanese authorities have blocked several speedways towards tsunami and tremor-hit regions to ensure that rescue vehicles are not hampered in any way, reports a RIA Novosti correspondent.
Japan's northeastern Fukushima prefecture, one of the most seriously affected by the 9 magnitude quake and the tsunami, suffers a shortage of petrol and lines of cars can be seen waiting near fuel stations.
Natori, a town in Miyagi prefecture, still suffers a massive power outage, resembling an abandoned area with lights coming from several single buildings.
There is no drinking water and food in the town, Saito, a 60-year-old taxi-driver, said.
He said the tsunami had devastated the eastern part of the town.
"It was a tsunami wave, not the quake that swept away the buildings from the coastal line."
"When the earthquake started, I was in my car. I thought I would die," Saito said.
On March 11, known as Black Friday, Japan was stricken by the strongest earthquake in 78 years. It triggered a 10-meter tsunami wave that swept away people, houses and cars.
On Sunday, Miyagi prefecture police chief Naoto Takeuchi said the toll could go over 10,000.

Oz Ashes fans may not get tickets for 2009 AshesSeptember 18th, 2008 - 2:41 pm ICT by ANI
Sydney, Sept.18 (ANI): Tickets for the 2009 Ashes series between England and Australia is proving beyond the reach of many Australian cricket fans.
Warwickshire officials have unveiled a scheme where only members and attendees of recent Edgbaston Test matches are able to apply for tickets to the third Ashes Test.
The first three days have sold out, with Ticketmaster reportedly receiving 78,555 calls within 90 minutes of opening the Edgbaston box office - traffic matched only by Bruce Springsteen and Madonna concerts, and an FA Cup semi-final.
England officials expect similarly high demand when tickets go on sale in November for the Cardiff, Lord''s, Headingley and The Oval Tests.
The small capacity of English grounds - Sophia Gardens, the venue controversially chosen to host the first Test, can hold only 15,643 - combined with the proliferation of sports tour companies and the general interest in the series will price many Australian cricket supporters out of the market.
The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Luke Gillian, operator of the Waving The Flag tour company, as saying that he would not be taking a group to England for the Ashes.
"This is the corporate world we live in. I wanted to get tickets and sell them on for face value, but what chance am I when a big company will pay $1000 for that same ticket? I won"t be going, and I"m sure a lot of cricket fans will find it really tough to get tickets," Gillian said, a week before leading an 80-strong touring contingent to India for Australia''s four-Test series.

The #FREEBASSEL campaign asks supporters to take the pledge to do 5 public acts to be posted about on social media with the tag #freebassel5years to increase awareness about Bassel's situation. It is 5 years he has been arbitrarily jailed and we will not quit until he is completely #FREEBASSEL.
To inspire the #freebassel5years 5 public acts pledge, Bassel friend and #freebassel co-campaign lead Jon Phillips is releasing a secret letter Bassel wrote to Jon on January 31, 2014 and had delivered from behind the walls of Adra Prison at great risk to himself.
"In mid-2014 I received a personal handwritten note from Bassel. And, as I've come to find out, there are many more handwritten messages from Bassel to people outside the walls of his fake jailing in Damascus' notorious Adra Prison. His January 31, 2014 letter to me is the first of several to come, Letters from Adra Prison," said Phillips. "This letter released today is in simple raw image form. We need help to make Bassel's projects become real, starting with this letter towards #freebassel5years."
The first two pages of the letter may be accesssed at http://letters.freebassel.org.
5 public acts for #freebassel5years ideas

I used to have a cat some years ago. Rio lived more than 18 years, but I worried she wouldn't make it to 5 years because of her habit of chewing on electrical cords. I wish CritterCord cord protectors had been around back then. The clear tubing slips over the electrical cord to provide a protective layer. They are heavy-gauge, so they resist even the most determined chewer. They're also infused with citrus scent and a bitter taste that won't wash away that should make the cords less attractive to your pet. They are sized to fit standard outlet cords or USB and smaller computer peripherals cords. Each size is available in a 6-foot length; the outlet cord size is $11.99 and the computer peripherals size is $7.99.
1 thought on "Protect Your Pet with CritterCords"
This product sounds good, but Amazon reviews include many comments that the cord protector smells awful. My sister has an "electrician" cat and I'll have her try the smaller diameter "Micro" version of the product. It's for smaller diameter cords like iPod power/sync cords. It get better ratings, perhaps because there's less stinky surface area than the larger diameter tubing.

To help introduce this session on the power of our words, point out that, according to a July 2012 article in Psychology Today, an MRI can actually show the impact negative words have on a person's brain. Brain scans show the release of stress-producing hormones and neurotransmitters in test subjects when the word "no" was flashed on a screen for one second. Normal brain functions, such as logic, reason, language processing, and communication are all impacted simply by negative language.
After sharing this insight, ask some of the following questions:
- We've grown up hearing the nursery rhyme, "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me." This story suggests this isn't true. How much of an impact do you think persistent criticism or negativity can have on a person?
- Would you expect there to be any data on the impact positive words have on the brain?
Allow for responses. You may choose to give the answer here, or you may choose to save it for the end of today's session. But note that the article goes on to say that positive words and thoughts "propel the motivational centers of the brain into action, and help us build resilience when we are faced with life's problems."
Emphasize that this is NOT a session on "the power of positive thinking." However, we need to recognize, just as James did in this session's focal passage, that our words have great power, both for good and for bad.
We want to hear from you! How will you explore the topic "The Pressure of Words" with your group?

"There." Danny smiled as he stood back and wrapped an arm around Charlotte, "Perfect."
"Almost." Charlotte said quietly, "Mum's still not here."
"She'll get through this Charlie. She's stronger than we give her credit."
"She's not superhuman though is she?" Charlotte asked, "Can Mum really survive a fire?"
"I did." Danny replied, "It was your Mum who..."
"It doesn't matter." Danny shook his head and walked away, "I just, I can't."
"Did Mum..." Charlotte began,
"Charlotte, don't be cruel." Danny begged, turning around and looking her directly in the eye. "I know you won't intend to be but... I don't want to talk about those last moments with your Mum ok?"
"Did you argue? At least tell me that."
'No, the opposite." Danny responded before remaining silent and looking out of the window. Charlotte stood stationary for a few moments, before nodding and walking off. Danny sighed, "That's what kills me the most." He whispered.
The next morning at breakfast, there was an unusual quietness and hush about the table. Liv was sat shoveling scrambled egg into her mouth as though it was a hated chore and Charlotte was more interested in playing with it than actually eating it.
"You should eat Charlotte." Rosie smiled, walking around to sit down with her own plate off Nomsa.
"I don't want to."
"Rosie's right..." A strong South African voice boomed, "You should keep your strength up."
"Max?!" Liv squeaked.
"Oright, oright!" Rosie called before everyone could begin nagging, "Caroline you needn't looking at us like that! Max and I are seeing how things go..."
"That pilot won't be happy, Dylan."
"He never stood a chance." Rosie said to Caroline who went back to eating her scrambled egg in the most elegant manner imaginable. "Where's Dad?" When no one answered, Rosie shook her head, "So not one of you has checked he's ok?"
"He was checking on Robert." Nomsa called.
"Thank you Nomsa." Rosie smiled standing up, "If you'll excuse me."
"Rosie!" Max whimpered.
"Max, you know who they are!" Rosie sighed before walking off leaving Max to smile awkwardly and engage in the small talk of the table.
Robert grinned as Danny dressed him, playing with him as he did so. Robert was growing to be such a beautiful little boy and Danny cursed himself for not being there for his son. He'd done nothing more than imitated his father and that was something he could never be proud of. Still, he'd make it up to his son and his mother, and never hide the reasoning behind missing those precious years, no matter how ashamed he was.
"Do you need a hand?" Rosie asked, quietly letting herself in.
"A lift to the hospital?" Danny smiled, "I'm going to go see Mummy and Mr Robbie is going to nursery."
"Any news?" Rosie asked.
"Not that we know of..." Danny said in a sing song voice to Robert, despite the fact the statement was intended for his daughter, "What do you think?" He asked his daughter properly. "Is he dressed ok?"
"If you mean does he look presentable, yes. Very smart. I can see Alice has worked on that fashion sense of yours." Rosie smirked, "I'm glad."
Danny chuckled warmly, "Yes, but Alice can do all this is four seconds flat. How she gets his arms in and his legs in so quickly..." He shook his head, "When will you be ready?"
"When you've had-"
"I ate early." Danny intervened. "I was up at three am so I just got on with the animals."
"Jesus Dad." Rosie breathed, "Sure, yeh, let's go."
"Thanks Rosie." Danny smiled, "It means a lot."
Rosie said nothing, instead just smiling as she picked Robert up, playing with him immediately. Danny watched them for a moment wondering if his daughter could amaze him anymore than she already had. He shook his head before walking out of his room, following Rosie through to the kitchen. He smiled at everyone until he realised that one person extra was sitting at the table.
"Max?" Danny asked, shock evident in his tone.
"Danny!" Max gasped, standing up ramrod straight.
"Max, sit down. I'm not Lord of the manor." Danny chuckled, "I was just... surprised."
"I'll explain in the car Dad." Rosie smiled. Danny nodded content and walked on ahead of her. Robbie was itching to follow in Rosie's arms, "Sorry Max, I'll be about an hour?"
"It's ok." Max sighed, "Do what you have to do. I'll help Dup out for a bit."
Rosie nodded before walking off, much to Robbie's delight, after her father.
Max glanced uneasily at Dup as he drove them far out into the bush. Max might not have been here for a while but he knew that this was miles away. Dup obviously had an ulterior motive, he was being far too 'gutted' about Max not running the bar.
"Dup, what is it?" Max asked quietly.
Dup brought the Jeep to a halt, killing the engine before resting back in his seat.
"I don't want Rosie hurt again." Dup said quietly, "I know it's not your intention but... that divorce, she's a good actress but even she couldn't hide the pain in her eyes."
"I'm not here to hurt her. I love her Dup." Max replied simply, "Yes, I admit. I hurt her, but she also hurt me. She rang me in this time of need and I'm here... I'd been planning on calling her anyway... life isn't the same without Rosie. I realise now, just what she means to me."
"Only stay if you do love her." Dup warned, "There's a difference between loving someone and being in love with someone."
Max nodded slowly as Dup started the engine. Thoughts filling his mind about his future, would it be alone, or would it be with Rosie?
A/N - So a fire alarm did actually go off about 2 minutes after posting Getting Through It update haha!
Anyway, Danny is off to see Alice, will there be any news? And Dup is warning Max, but has he warned him off?

Re: Harris families ~Henry & Patrick Co
In Response To: Re: Harris families in Henry and Patrick Co. ()
Paul, I have been in contact with you when you were outside the US. and purchased your first book. I would like to know which lines he is researching. One of my Harris lines fits with some of the Harris in VA. info on the website.
Milly Harris dau. of Joanna and sister of Micajah Harris and that would make so it appears that Martha Harris is or could be the mother of Joanna Harris.The death record for Milly in 1860 says she is the daughter of Joanna Harris and she died in her 90's so it makes sense.
Paul, I think James Harris from Patrick Co. had family members that moved over to Henry Co. which many did so when the county split.

But with David piling on the pressure to expand their brood as his football career comes to an end, Victoria, 36, is encouraging him to pursue an acting career in a desperate bid to give him something else to focus on.
'She's been urging David to try his hand at acting and has told friends she'd take such pride in him becoming successful in Hollywood,' a source tells Now.
'David's always been reluctant because he didn't feel he had what it takes, but he's finally given in to the idea of giving acting a go.'
It wasn't so long ago David dismissed a career in acting, saying that he looked 'a bit stiff' with a cameo in the film Goal! in 2005.
But what a difference five years makes, especially now an injury to his Achilles tendon has threatened his football career.
Our source adds: 'David's been getting help from his friends Tom Cruise and Vinnie Jones. But if he's going to make it as an actor, he'd be well advised to step out of his comfort zone.
Recent reports have suggested David's being lined up to star in a remake of 1981 football movie Escape To Victory.
A source tells Now: 'He's also had talks with people at ABC and Disney for possible TV work.'

The city has received more than 250 mosquito-related complaints since Memorial Day's record-breaking rain fall, and officials are working to combat the rising number of pesky insects.
But what seems like swarms of blood-sucking bugs is actually the norm for this time of year, Timothy Segura, the city's vector control coordinator, said.
"This is actually a normal outbreak," he said. "We just haven't had this much rain in so long that we tend to forget that this is kind of normal."
However, a more aggressive breed of mosquito, Cyanescens, is much more prevalent this year.
"They come out only when we get large amounts of rain," Segura said. "We normally don't get a whole lot of those, but we have them because most areas got five inches of rain."
Lubbock Vector Control employees have been working ahead of a deadline set by Mother Nature to spray playa lakes, trash cans and other standing water sources to ward off an outbreak.
Mosquitoes usually hatch seven to 10 days after a rainstorm, giving crews time to reduce the numbers by spraying larvicide over the surfaces of playa lakes and other standing water on public property.
Though the hatching mosquitoes feed on the fatal larvicide, many are expected to survive in part because of standing water on private property and areas crews can't treat, according to A-J Media archives.
For the mosquitoes that survive, the city is hitting them with a deadly dose of a toxic fog, said Bridget Faulkenberry, the city's cemetery and vector control manager.
Crews were out every night last week hoping to keep the number of insects at bay.
Essentially, the fog creates a net of chemicals at about tree-top level that kills mosquitoes as they fly into it, Segura said.
Residents can also help to reduce the mosquito outbreak by draining standing water, Faulkenberry said.

Yoga Westbury, Long Island
Yoga is a group exercise class that we offer at our Westbury gym several times a week. Yoga has been around for over 5,000 years and has been shown to offer many health benefits but is also used as a form of mediation and relaxation. Most of our classes focus on learning physical poses, called asanas.
The benefits of our Long Island yoga classes in Westbury include developing your flexibility, strength and balance.
Flexibility from Yoga
You are never too old to start doing yoga which is why many seniors enjoy the benefits of the classes. Unbeknownst to most people, yoga does not necessitate that you stretch like a gymnast. Yoga seeks to help you safely stretch your muscles to release the lactic acids that build up with muscle use. Stretching these muscles properly can help you to relieve feelings of stiffness, tension, pain and fatigue caused by the day-to-day activities of life. It can also help to increase the range of motion and increase the lubrication within the joints. After a few sessions you may benefit from a sense of ease and fluidity throughout your body.
Strength from Yoga
Yoga is also known to provide strength and endurance benefits. The various poses, such as downward dog, upward dog, and the plank pose, build upper-body strength. Strength can also be built in the hamstrings, quadriceps, abs, lower back and core. The increased flexibility and strength developed from yoga workouts can also improve posture as enhanced core strength makes you more likely to stand and sit tall.
Other Benefits of Yoga
The benefits of yoga go on and on. Yoga also helps with the following:
- Breathing– the mindful breathing involved has been shown to improve lung capacity
- Stress– even the most novice yoga students can experience feelings of relaxation through the meditation techniques of yoga
- Concentration– many students report that yoga helps them to focus mentality and also puts them in a better mood
- Heart– yoga has been shown to lower blood pressure and slow the heart rate
- Aging– yoga has a positive effect on learning and the memory. It also has been shown to slow the aging process and improve energy levels
Sweat New York Yoga Long Island

Basically, a Christian who writes can write anything, whether it glorifies the Lord or not. They write for a market. A Christian writer focuses their work on Jesus Christ. He is central to their story. Christian fiction is supposed to stir up a longing for the real thing: a relationship with Jesus Christ. Of course, both want to sell books, but it is all about the focus. Not that one is better than the other, but it is a different calling.
I knew from the very beginning that I did not want to preach in my stories. I wasn't sure I wanted to write conversion scenes. Maybe that stems from being a preacher's wife and having a wall go up every time I am introduced to people as a "pastor's wife". I don't want to throw up walls. I want to break them down. I want to be real, flaws and all.
But is it good enough to write an entertaining story that is not centered on Christ? Shouldn't my heart's desire be to write with Christ in mind? Maybe my focus is not where it should be.
My friend, Pepper, is an encouraging soul. As I wrestled with this line of thinking, she had some wise things to say. She says, "People are drawn to Him because of what they see in our lives - how they see HIM in our lives. We don't have to preach with words. His joy in your life will come out in your stories, even if you never quote a Bible verse." She went on to say, "Just because a story doesn't have loads of 'preaching' in it, doesn't mean it still can't be life-changing. The acts of the characters and their transformation - the way they respond to their difficulties, should reflect Christ. Isn't that how it is in real life? What is it that Francis of Isisi wrote? "Preach the Gospel and if necessary, use words."
Isn't she smart?
I suppose, though, that if the Lord living in me shines through in my writing, then in some small way it IS Christ centered. Whatever we do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord, right?
So what are your thoughts? Is there a difference between a Christian who writes and a Christian writer?

Lovato will join Britney Spears, L.A. Reid and Simon Cowell on the Beacon Theatre stage. The confirmation was made Monday in New York City, at the network's upfront presentation.
"I'm so excited about this whole experience," Britney Spears said. "It's going to be so much fun and so different from anything I've ever done. I'm ready to find a true star."
Lovato and Spears will replace Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul, the two judges on the first season.
"I'm absolutely delighted that Britney and Demi are joining us," said Simon Cowell.
"Britney Spears remains one of the biggest stars in the world, she's talented, fascinating – and I believe she knows exactly how to spot The X Factor," he continued.
"Demi's had an amazing career in music, TV and film for someone her age. She's young, confident, and enthusiastic," he added.
"It's important that she speaks to our younger audience. The new panel will be dynamic and will work really well with the changes to the show."
Britney will earn $ 15 million for one season, a deal the singer accepted a few weeks ago.
Another choice would have been Fergie, but despite "talks" the singer said that she's not interested, shooting down rumors that she had agreed to be a part of the jury.
"I know there were talks last season and this season," the singer said. "But it's just not – Simon said before, timing is everything and it's not the right time for me."
"I mean, I love Simon and I love the show. It's just that last year, nor this year, do I have the time to commit to that sort of commitment because I would be somebody who would really throw myself into it, as I do with all my projects … It's just not fair to the contestants and their careers — that's their career — to not be full in," she said.
Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and Britney Spears have since been rumored as possible replacements.
Now we have the entire component. What do you think about the choices?
