A cure for cancer may be a step closer
Cancer immunotherapy -- using the body's own immune system to fight tumor cells -- may be a major part in a cure for cancer, researchers in Britain say.
Bent Jakobsen, the Danish-born chief scientific officer of Immunocore who started to study T-cells 20 years ago while working at the Medical Research Council's Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England, says cancer has been largely treated by slicing (surgery), poisoning (chemotherapy) or burning (radiation). All try to spare healthy tissue from irreparable damage while attempting to kill every cancer cell.
"Immunotherapy is radically different," Jakobsen told The Independent exclusively. "It doesn't do away with the other cancer treatments by any means, but it adds something to the arsenal that has one unique feature -- it may have the potency to actually cure cancer."
Immunocore built a therapy around cellular immunity, where T-cells seek out and destroy invading pathogens, The Independent reported.
"There are a lot of companies working with antibodies but we are virtually the only company in the world that has managed to work with T-cells. It has taken 20 years and from that point we are unique," Jakobsen said.
Immunocore found a way of designing small protein molecules, which it calls ImmTACs, that effectively act as double-ended glue. At one end they stick to cancer cells, strongly and very specifically, leaving healthy cells untouched. At the other end they stick to T-cells, Jakobsen said.
The technology is based on the "T-cell receptor," the protein that sticks out of the surface of the T-cell and binds to its enemy target.
"Although T-cells are not very keen at recognizing cancer, we can force them to do so. The potential you have if you can engineer T-cell receptors is quite enormous," Jakobsen said.
"You can find any type of cell and any kind of target. This means the approach can in theory be used against any cancer, whether it is tumors of the prostate, breast, liver or the pancreas."

At the risk of being repetitive this week, I'm going to talk about the Superbowl. Hopefully, my spin on this "good old American tradition" is at least a little different….
When I was a kid, Superbowl Sunday was a pretty big deal. Back in those days, the Packers, my mom's favorite team as she's from about 2 hours away from Green Bay, were in the midst of the "Favre Era" so the post-season games were important to our family. I remember my dad would grill Johnsonville bratwurst outside, in the middle of winter, as the Packers played for the Superbowl title. Yes, the bratwurst had to be Johnsonville, as they originate in Wisconsin and therefore they rule supreme. We also usually had an assortment of Wisconsin cheeses and some miscellaneous German food. There was nothing like German food to accent the Johnsonville bratwursts. My immediate family would always gather in the basement, where the big screen t.v. was. When we lived in Minneapolis, my dad would get a fire going, so we could watch the game from right up against the fireplace….
Flash forward to college and I tried to keep the bratwurst tradition going, but it fizzled out as I started going to other people's homes and brats just aren't as good when they are not grilled on an outdoor grill (even George Foreman doesn't cut it) in the winter. So, the tradition first turned into skyline dip, guacamole, and pizza. But, last year, my boyfriend and I decided to split up the cooking responsibilities, so he made some AMAZING manicotti. I still made Skyline dip and guacamole and some kind of dessert. This year is manicotti again, although because the Packers are playing I have been tempted to get Johnsonville brats or at least some "real Wisconsin cheese." I'll also be making Skyline dip (for those who don't know, it's cream cheese, Skyline, and cheddar cheese baked for about 20 minutes).
I've come to realize Superbowl Sunday is very much like a national holiday, even though it isn't official. It's a time to have good, strange American (think melting pot of cultures here) food and time with friends to watch sports. Some of the best conversations I've had (because let's face it, in football there is plenty of time for talking) have come out of watching sports with friends and family. I feel very American bonding over sports with friends while eating large amounts of food.
On a side note, I still believe the Monday after the Superbowl should be a holiday. I mean really, Senegal declared a holiday when they beat France in World Cup 2002, I think we can make Superbowl Monday a national holiday.
At the risk of drawing criticism from others who read this, I'm going to show my allegiance to the one NFL team I've truly grown up cheering for…
Enjoy the Superbowl, everyone! May the best team win…..
What are your favorite teams and what made you become X fan? Or, if you don't have a favorite team, who will you being cheering for tonight?

John and Patience Mitton Clark were born near Broadkiln 100 in Sussex county Delaware in the years 1774, and 1781 respectively.They were married in 1801 and resided in Sussex County Delaware until 1803. Patience Mitton was a daughter of William Mitton. William Mitton married a daughter of the John Ponder family. John Ponder was a revolutionary war soldier. In 1803 John and Patience traveled from Delaware with 17 other families to Ohio settling near Circleville, Ohio. They lived north of Circleville until 1830. Then they moved to Marion township just south of Marion, Ohio. They had 17 children of which 13 survived to adulthood. Their daughters married men with the surnames Conwell, Wright, Riley, Reiley, Anderson, Sharp and O Day. John and Patience are both buried in Phillip Dreyer Cemetery near Marion, Ohio. They died in 1861 and 1862 during the Civil War. According to legend the Clark's traveled from Scotland/Ireland to Virginia in the early 1630's and while in Virginia worked as indentured servants for 7 years. At a later unknown date they traveled to the State of Delaware. John F. Clark's fathers name was John. His father's name was William and his father was John. A picture of Phillip Dreyer Cemetery in its restored condition is included with this information. Two veterans of the War of 1812; three veterans of the Civil War and one veteran of the Spanish American War are buried in the cemetery. One small tombstone, an infant daughter of Robert M. Clark and Delilah Biggerstaff Clark has the following inscription, "While this you see remember me lest I should be forgotten." Her tiny pure white tombstone buried in the earth and in the darkness of the woods for over one hundred years, stands again in the sunlight. This small cemetery is located south of Marion, Ohio. It is the oldest public pioneer and veterans cemetery in Marion township. It took five years to gain access to it and five years to fully restore it. A nature preserve with nature trails is being created in the wooded area behind the cemetery grounds. Visitors will be able to enjoy the beauty and peace of the woods and enjoy the sight of the wildlife in the area. White swans nest every year on a nearby pond.

Actress nails portrayal of Monroe
'My Week with Marilyn'
Starring: Michelle Williams,
Eddie Redmayne
Director: Simon Curtis
Rated: R
Based on the memoir of Colin Clark, who was a 23-year old production assistant on a movie when he met Marilyn Monroe in 1956, this is faithful recreation of the era and the iconic star, thanks to a stunning portrayal by Michelle Williams.
The significance of Clark's remembrance is his relationship with the starlet, who had just married playwright Arthur Miller when she consented to star in "The Prince and the Showgirl," a Pinewood Studio feature directed by and starring Sir Laurence Olivier, played with stuffy brio by Kenneth Branagh. For each, the experience was supposed to be a career changer as Olivier wanted to show he could play the lighter fare instead of just Shakespeare, and Monroe was desperate to prove she was not just a face and a figure, but an actress.
Famous accounts of the filming recall that Monroe created a quite a clamor when she arrived in London with her entourage including her husband, and acting coach Paula Strasberg (Zoe Wanamaker), whose "method" approach collided with Olivier's more theatrical style, producing a strained tension on set. Complicating matters was Monroe's tardiness or absences due to a combination of her insecurities magnified by her self-medication with alcohol and pills.
From the outset, director Simon Curtis and scripter Adrian Hodge set up two sides to the story — Olivier and his camp abhor Marilyn for her lack of professionalism but, like everyone else, are mesmerized by her beauty. Others, such as Lady Sybil Thorndike (Judi Dench) and Strasberg, who was more of a nursemaid than an acting coach, coddle Marilyn. When Monroe asks young Clark which side he's on, he wisely replies "yours," and their close friendship begins in earnest.
When Miller leaves England to return to New York, Monroe turns to Clark, making him her confidant and protector. For that week, he was her closest ally as he fell in love with her and she turned to him out of neediness. We also see glimpses of her many sides — the frightened little orphan, the blonde bombshell — and it's not hard to believe that in six short years from then she would be dead from an overdose.
Besides the kick of seeing so many great characters come to life, the real wonder here is Williams. Much has been made of the fact she doesn't exactly resemble Monroe, but that's merely a detail. What she does do remarkably well is create the illusion of Monroe by capturing the cadence of her breathy voice, mannerisms and posture, but with such nuance as to keep her real, never tripping over into the caricature that has become all too familiar.
It's a very smart choice that naturally transforms Williams, who must not only be Monroe the woman, but Monroe the actress in the scenes lifted from the "The Prince and the Showgirl," and Monroe the entertainer in two of her famous song and dance numbers.
Redmayne, familiar to the American audience from "The Good Shepherd," captures the gawky, wide-eyed wonder of first love beautifully and mostly does a good job of staying in the background until needed. He doesn't try to compete with Branagh or Williams, but he's in almost every scene. In addition, there are great performances all around including Wanamaker, Dougray Scott as the bewildered Miller, and Julia Ormond as Vivien Leigh, Olivier's wife at the time.
Just as Monroe's infatuation with Clark lasted only a short while, the film itself is just shy of 90 minutes, making it a pleasurable diversion instead of a drawn-out platonic affair. It ends on a sweet note that one can only imagine were few and far between in Monroe's tragic life.This film is playing in Houston theaters now.

For more than a decade after the breakup of Yugoslavia, Montenegro — the smallest of the country's six republics — seemed to hold no place in the traveler's mind beyond that of Serbia's little sidekick. Now independent since 2006, the Adriatic nation sandwiched between Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Albania is quickly enticing Western travelers with a promising mix of history, beauty and culture. And for many English-speakers the country remains a largely unknown gem — a Croatia before Croatia was cool.
It certainly has a lot to offer: a 180-mile-long coast whittled with spectacular ports like the walled towns of Budva and Kotor, immense valleys and dawdling rivers seasoned with wild water chestnuts. Few visitors spend much time in Podgorica, Montenegro's pocket-size capital, because opinions like "not much there for tourists" creep into the reviews. But during my two visits to Montenegro over the last year, I found Podgorica to be surprisingly pleasant, with lively cafes, intriguing neighborhoods and no shortage of charms and moving encounters.
My connecting flight from Paris touched down on a sunny afternoon last fall at the Aerodrom Podgorica, code TGD, a reminder of Yugoslavia's Communist days when the city was known as Titograd. From the air I had squinted through the piercing glare of Lake Skadar, a national park, to absorb the terrifying peaks of the 8,000-foot-high Prokletije mountains that marked the Albanian border. Montenegro, or Crna Gora in Montenegrin, means "black mountain," and the rugged fastness of the landscape makes the name an obvious choice. Yet everything below me was so green, a patchwork of rolling farmland stitched together with rivers and creeks. It felt like flying into a Balkan Montana.
Podgorica, pronounced PAWD-go-ree-tsa, was no Bozeman but a place burbling with progress all the same. NATO had bombed the areas around the airport in 1999 when Serbs used it as a regrouping area after raids into neighboring Kosovo. Montenegro was largely spared much of the NATO wrath because Milo Djukanovic, who was president of Montenegro at the time, worked to distance his country from the Serbs during the war. By 2006, a majority of Montenegrins voted to part ways with Serbia for good, and the breakup happened peacefully.
"It was like a marriage that just wasn't working," Ninoslav Markovic, a Podgorica native who studied tourism in the World Heritage city of Kotor, told me later. "There was some anger but no big fight."
I struggled to spot any signs of the conflict on the ride into the city. Shiny BMWs and Mercedeses glided along a well-sealed road, past roundabouts, furniture stores and mechanic shops. Most of the buildings were squat, soulless apartment complexes with splashes of color from laundry draped over balconies. A donkey pulled a wood cart along the shoulder.
In searching for a place to stay I zeroed in on the Hotel Crna Gora, built in 1953, once the finest hotel in Podgorica. Back in the day it had been a place for the Communist Party elite. Looking at it now I saw little more than a drab concrete cube but quickly realized this was special in its own right. It had a bright lobby and dim hallways enlivened with long licks of red carpet. Over the decades the hotel had become a mini-repository for paintings by eminent Montenegrin and Yugoslav artists like Petar Lubarda and Milo Milunovic. My room had a creaky but comfortable bed next to an antique radio that probably wasn't intended to be an antique.
The hotel will become a Hilton, and since my visit, construction crews have demolished large portions of the hotel as part of a $56 million renovation project. The new Hilton Podgorica Crna Gora is scheduled to open in May 2015 and will have 200 rooms, a spa and seven conference rooms. The artwork and some of the original stone facade will all be preserved, Zarko Buric, the owner of the rebranded hotel, assured me in an e-mail. "The new hotel will maintain flair of old Hotel Crna Gora," he wrote, but I couldn't help but feel a little glum. Hiltons are everywhere. Communist throwbacks — even a "Stalinist dump" like this one, as one TripAdvisor user said — are disappearing fast.
But some things are still the same. Podgorica is a fine place for walking: compact with about 185,000 people, leafy sidewalks and loads of cafes for people-watching. I dropped off my bags and headed out, passing by the 46-euro heels for sale in the Fancy Shop shoe store and the mini-mini-skirts that hung like party streamers in the window of Butik Diva. You can stroll along the Slobode, a street closed to cars come evenings, where families eat ice cream and prides of teenage boys prowl about in clouds of cologne. Promenades meandered along the confluence of the Ribnica and Moraca Rivers, past the ruins of an old Turkish fort and beside a small stone beach. I spent one morning ambling through the hushed warrens of the Stara Varos, or Old Town, where men drinking brandy by pigeon coops waved and wished me well. The friendly secretary of Podgorica's Muslim minority welcomed me unannounced into an 18th-century mosque.
Empires have ebbed and flowed across the Balkans for centuries, and each passing tide has left its mark on the Montenegrin plate. I found Austrian-influenced strudlas and Greek baklava. I ate pizza in a Serbian Orthodox spiritual center that doubled as a restaurant where St. Simon judged me from his perch on a heavy stone wall. The Ottoman Turks ruled the Balkans for 500 years and left the most indelible impressions on the country's cuisine. I stuffed myself into a near coma with a huge platter of roasted meats and cevapi sausages at Pod Volat, a restaurant with stone arches near a 17th-century Ottoman tower. During the feast, in the no-smoking section, my waiter stood four feet away smoking a cigarette. It was so absurd I could only laugh.
My wallet was certainly giggling. I spent a whopping $25 at Pod Volat. That delicious pizza with a drink and coffee totaled $3.79. Hotel rooms clocked in around $75 a night. I never paid more than $1 for coffee.
Toward the end of my trip I met Fetah Mahmutovic at his bakery in Zabjelo, a neighborhood on the southern flank of a hill called Gorica that gives Podgorica its name. Mr. Mahmutovic, 28, has an eponymous band called Fetah Vibration, which he said was Montenegro's first and only reggae band. That seemed believable in a land where turbo-folk is far more popular.
"Turbo-folk makes me puke," he said.
When Yugoslavia was falling apart, Mr. Mahmutovic declared Zabjelo's independence and joked that his bakery, which specializes in burek, fried pastries stuffed with cheese or any other ingredient, was something like the White House. It was satire, of course, but his shop, Burekdzinica Zabjelo, has since become the undisputed capital of Podgorica burekdom thanks to a recipe passed down through at least four generations. We sat for more than an hour talking music and Montenegro over a burek packed with spinach followed by another one drizzled in chocolate. A glass of runny yogurt was the perfect accompaniment.
I felt the need to walk a little more vigorously, given how much I'd been eating, so on my last day in the city I headed north along Slobode with plans to hike a few miles to the top of the Gorica. There the city's fit run on trails that circle under the pines and offer views of the high-rises below. I'd eventually make it to the top, where I'd sit on a bench and watch the sun settle into an unmade bed of mountains rumpling toward the horizon.
But I was distracted. There at the foot of the hill sat a squat chapel tucked against a clutch of olive trees and cypresses. This was the 16th-century St. George Church, the city's oldest, a dark and moody bunker with an overgrown cemetery out back. The tombs had been vandalized and forgotten, and were now blanketed by enormous mounds of thick ivy.
Inside the chapel I stared at John the Baptist, St. George and Petar of Cetinje. There was nothing magical about the place for a nonbeliever. There was no organ music, no vaults to admire. The air was stale without a swinging censer. It was just me and a guy sweeping the floor.
"Would you like to see something?" the church's guardian, Radovan Mitrovic, asked when he saw my interest in the saints. He put down his broom and removed the icon screen to show me the chipped remains of the church's original frescoes. There were deep reds and navy blues. A forehead. A halo. They were ancient, he said, maybe the oldest in the Balkans. I felt no need to verify that but was content to accept it for what it was. Maybe that same thinking helped me like Podgorica as much as I did.
I bought a small icon of St. Nicholas from the chapel's modest gift shop and left for my hike.
"Wait!" Mr. Mitrovic hollered, running outside after me. "Here, a gift for you," he said, handing me an icon of St. Basil, one Montenegro's most popular saints. "Maybe he will bring you back."
Hotel Ambasador (Vaka Djurovica 5; 382-20-272-233; hotel-ambasador-podgorica.montenegro365.com) has nine rooms and a restaurant terrace overlooking the Moraca River. It sits within easy walking distance of downtown, St. George Church and Gorica park. Doubles start at 90 euros, about $116, at $1.29 to the euro.
The Hotel M Nikic (Kralja Nikole; 382-20-220-292; hotelmnikic.com) opened earlier this year on the banks of the Ribnica River and offers a contemporary setting with 71 rooms, walk-in showers and windows of blue mirrored glass. Doubles from 84 euros.
A stroll down Bokeska and Njegoseva Streets near the city's center square, Trg Republike, will bring you to dozens of cafes and nightclubs that are popular with the city's fashionable youth just about any time of day.
The Mojito Cocktail Bar (Bokeska 6; 382-69-222-579) serves many variations of its namesake as well as stiff coffee.
Pod Volat (Trg Vojvode Becir Bega Osmaagica 1; 382-69-618-633).

FBI Atlanta Warns Consumers of Green Dot MoneyPak Scam
|FBI Atlanta September 16, 2013
ATLANTA—Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Mark F. Giuliano, FBI Atlanta Field Office, in an effort to provide an alert or warning to consumers, is providing the following details of an emerging scam that has been reported throughout the country and is now making an appearance in Georgia.
On September 12, 2013, 10 retail stores in Savannah, Georgia, each received telephonic bomb threats. In each case, the caller asked to speak to the store manager, demanding that 10 Green Dot MoneyPak cards each be activated and loaded with $500 and that the card numbers be read aloud over the phone. The caller threatened to blow up the stores if the managers did not comply and also threatened the store employees' homes and families. The managers of all the stores described the caller as a male between 20 to 30 years of age and with a foreign accent. No manager complied with the demands, and no explosive devices were found.
Subsequent investigation has determined that these calls mirrored a number of similar telephonic threats made to various drug stores and retail outlets nationwide. One such call placed to a discount department store in Snellville, Georgia, was identified as an overseas Voiceover IP (VoIP) telephone number. To date, no explosive devices have been found anywhere in the country linked to this type of threat.
While the above incidents involved bomb threats, the types of threats vary. Green Dot MoneyPak cards are reloadable and available at most retail outlets throughout the country and, like money wire transfers, are just as untraceable. These cards are not associated with any bank, meaning that the money is in the card. Users of these Green Dot MoneyPak cards are reminded to never give anyone those numbers associated with those cards in that doing so gives them instant access to the money on those cards.
Anyone with information regarding this type of emerging scam can provide a report or complaint to the FBI at www.IC3.gov.

As said last time...I lost a color for Amsterdam. In addition to that I ran out of a color. Which never happened to me before. And no answer to any of my emails from Thea Gouverneur or whoever works for her. That they don't do a thing of a lost color, ok, that's my fault, but running out of a color already, that's rather uncommon. And shouldn't happen for a rather pricey kit.
To say that I wasn't thrilled is the understatement of the year. But then I thought...I don't have the time nor the patience for that type of negativity in my life.
I still thank the day where I bought a DMC color card with real thread. I sat down (for 2 days!!!) and matched each and every of the 124 colors (125=braid) After that it was easy to determine the missing color. It had to be DMC 640 or 642. 642 was another symbol already so it had to be DMC 640. Phew.
Oh...couple of days later I found the missing color back...LOL. Doesn't take away I ran out of DMC 839 though.
If anyone stitching this design ever runs out of a color and into the same problem of non existing customer service, give me a shout. I'll be able to help..lol...I matched them all.
Enough of that....I managed to put a few stitches in it and will enjoy the rest of this beautiful design
There was one thing that really brightened up my day: a darling ornament sent to my by Elisa. Her stitching and finishing are just gorgeous. LOVE it. I was her partner in the Hooked on Exchange Quaker ornament round and was very lucky she got my name. :)
My ornament went to Anne, whose favorite color is blue :)

Estrellita won the Mexican National Women's championship from Princesa Blanca in Arena Coliseo Guadalajara last night. It's not a big surprise, Estrellita has been doing well in CMLL for the last year and they might have done this weeks ago if Estrellita didn't cut her hand in a match and had to sit out for a few weeks. Marcela is the world champion, but CMLL presents Estrellita as the biggest female star. If you're going to go with Estrellita, you might as well go strongly and having Estrellita with a belt is step in that direction.
It's actually more surprising it didn't take place on a big show. Blanca and Estrellita have been slightly feuding on the El Luchador show: an early episode included a pull apart when Blanca found out Estrellita was dating Puma King and tonight's episode appears to center around the cage match they were both involved in. I'm still not sure if the A&E reality show makes a tangible difference to CMLL business – the worst period of CMLL last year was when season 1 aired – but it seems like worth trying to capitalize on it somehow. Right now, the only way they might be doing it is making sure Mistico is back in the ring just in time for the El Luchador episode where he becomes Mistico airs.
Princesa Blanca was champion for nearly 4 years. Amapola was world champion for most of that time, so they've gone in a couple months from the rudas dominating the championships to the tecnicas. (It also means the bodybuilding contest tomorrow is the only title Dark Angel is probably getting a shot at in the near future.)

Los Mazisos vs Queretaro locals, last one in loses hair or mask
8) Paranoiko & Pesadilla vs Halloween & Psicosis and Makabre & Super Mega
DTU tour. I think it's neat how it's not just Tulancingo & Mexico City wrestlers on the show, but luchadors from places they go to regularly (Guadalajara, SLP) are involved. Also nice is how they've getting tag teams together for an extended period prior to having titles (which I assume are coming sometime soon); it's much better than the other way.
Whenever's last week's Fusion recap gets posted (2014), I'll go over this again, but you really want to book Nicho el Millionario and not Psicosis I right now. Nicho is alright. Psicosis I has been back for months and hasn't gotten a mask he can actually see and work out of it.
A long long time ago (earlier this year), Daga vowed he was done with DTU. He's back because of the Perros del Mal deal.
I would guess a local is losing their hair in the cage match. But that must mean Loco Max has hair again.

7) ?, Astro Latino, Jhonky vs Joe Lider
Mystery wrestler is a DTU trainee, as Lider takes on new wrestlers.
8) Pesadilla vs Cerebro Negro [DTU]
Pesadilla is the champion
Pesadilla is the DTU champion though Joe Lider still seems to defend this title from time to time.
Semifinal appears to be 1 vs 3 and not a four way, but I could be reading the poster wrong. The idea is Lider is going to destroy some rookies.
The three way mask match has been teased for a while. It's a long term feud with an actual payoff. Those of us who just follow AAA and CMLL may be unfamiliar with the concept.

01 May 2014 21:19:00
It's Workers' Day and all workers should be off this day. Except me - I'm a rebel and I say fuck to Workers' Day! :)
Well I worked even harder in Workers' Day in order to release Notepad++ Workers' Day Edition.
The main feature of this release is Session snapshot & periodic backup.
If this feature is enabled (enabled by default), user won't be asked to save unsaved file as he quits Notepad++, and on startup Notepad++ restores the unsaved file and unsaved untitled document of last session.
This feature brings another advantage - periodic backup of unsaved files which protects your data from the PC crashing or power outage.
You can always turn off this feature to get back the old behaviour:

LONDON (Reuters) - A Pakistani man accused by British authorities of being an al Qaeda operative who took part in a plot to bomb U.S. and English targets was extradited from Britain to the United States on Thursday to face terrorism charges.
Abid Naseer, 26, was one of a dozen men arrested in April 2009 on suspicion of preparing to cause mass casualties by bombing Manchester city centre in northern England.
He and the other suspects were never charged, but Britain said in addition to the alleged Manchester plot, Naseer was part of a wider al Qaeda cell bent on staging attacks in the United States and Norway.
On Thursday, he was taken by counter-terrorism police from a high security prison in east London to Luton airport, north of the British capital, and handed over to U.S. officials.
He is wanted for trial in the United States for his alleged role in planned suicide bomb attacks on New York City subways in 2009, for which a number of men have already been convicted.
He faces three charges: providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization; conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization; and conspiracy to use a destructive device.
Naseer and 11 others, mostly students from Pakistan, were arrested in daylight raids in 2009 after Britain's most senior counter-terrorism officer was photographed openly carrying details about the operation.
Britain's then-prime minister, Gordon Brown said officers were dealing with a "very big terrorist plot", but no explosives were found and all the men were later released as there was not enough evidence to charge them.
Britain's case against them had been based around emails exchanged between Naseer and a Pakistan account believed to be registered to an al Qaeda operative.
British authorities said the emails, which appeared to be discussions about girlfriends and wedding plans, in fact related to ingredients for explosives and they said Naseer posed a serious threat to national security.
The men were ordered to be deported to Pakistan but Naseer won an appeal against the decision because of fears he would be mistreated if he was returned.
He was arrested again in July 2010 when the U.S. warrant was issued, and last month European Court of Human Rights rejected his appeal against the extradition.

The essential Omega-3 EPA in Renew Life's Norwegian Gold oils is a natural substance your body needs to maintain optimum health. Extensive research links this type of Omega-3 to the heart, joints, mood and immune systems. Because the typical American diet is lacking in this vital fatty acid, supplementation with natural fish oil is an ideal source of EPA.
How Does Norwegian Gold Deliver 3x Better Omega-3 EPA Absorption?
1 Norwegian Gold Enteric-coated Fish Gel = 3 uncoated softgels
Enteric-Coated Targeted Release means less exposure of the fish oils to harsh stomach acids and more Omega-3 delivery to the intestines.
Digestion Enhanced with Lipase further aiding in Omega-3 absorption. Lipase is critical for complete oil digestion, yet most other fish oils lack this powerful fat-splitting enzyme.
Burp-Free Guarantee
Many fish oils cause a fishy burp or 'repeat', but our unique Ultragest Technology ensures more complete digestion to help prevent any unpleasant repeat, odor or intestinal discomfort.
What makes Norwegian Gold the Ultimate Omega-3 Fish Oils?
Higher potency of molecularly distilled essential Omega-3 EPA than most other EPA fish oils. Total Omega concentration of over 90%! Ultimate purity & freshness exceeding or meeting world standards. Sourced from smaller, unthreatened wild fish from cold, pristine waters. Enteric coating for 3x more omega-3 absorption than uncoated softgels and reduced burping in most people. Lipase-enhanced digestion for better absorption. This natural fat-splitting enzyme helps the body utilize these beneficial Omega-3s. Fresh-Assure blue glass bottle and dark cap seals in freshness and shields the pristine oils from the harmful effects of light. 100% fish-derived gel caps ideal for fish-eating vegetarians and others who wish to avoid animal-based gelatin softgels.

For more than 35 years, Pioneers' passion has been to see God glorified among those who are physically and spiritually isolated from the gospel of Jesus Christ—from bedouins in the deserts of North Africa and animist villagers in the jungles of South America to secular humanists in Eastern Europe and middle-class urbanites in the sprawling cities of East Asia.
Whether they come from a home-based fellowship or a multi-site congregation, each member of Pioneers is sent by his or her local community of believers. We value our partnership with these sending churches and with the congregations emerging among the unreached as a result of their obedience. Pioneers seeks to foster fruitful relationships as we come alongside local churches to help them fulfill the Great Commission.
Seeking opportunities to serve among the unreached? Looking for ways to invest financial resources to advance the kingdom of God? Researching ideas for your church's missions convention? If so, we welcome you to explore our growing archive of videos, stories and photos documenting what God is doing around the world through Pioneers' missionaries, national partners and sending churches.
Today, 2.9 billion people live among languages and cultures with no church. In response, Pioneers sends church-planting teams to serve among these 7000-plus people groups. Your financial support of our sending office, global projects and missionaries helps equip and sustain these men and women as they persevere in the face of persecution and hardship.

Climate change, unsustainable development and biodiversity loss are mounting threats to life on earth and human societies. Throughout the ages, local communities have developed knowledge and tools for survival and adaptation to their environment. But as indigenous cultures, local languages and practices are eroded, so is our civilization's resilience to new environmental challenges.
A new book, Biocultural Diversity Conservation, a Global Sourcebook, published with the support of IUCN, analyses the inextricable link between cultural heritage and ecological knowledge, and spells out recommendations for preserving both culture and nature.
The book was written by Luisa Maffi, Executive Director of the NGO Terralingua, a member of IUCN, promoting the importance of biocultural diversity, and Ellen Woodly, an expert in culture, sustainable development and climate change adaptation.
Based on a worldwide survey of 45 projects on the ground, the book is a first of its kind, providing accessible and comprehensive information on the links between culture and nature to affect thinking on a global scale.
"As known to biologists, diversity contributes to ecosystem's resilience, and there are growing indications that the same applies to human cultures." Says Gonzalo Oviedo, IUCN Senior Adviser on social policy who has been long involved in work on biocultural diversity with Terralingua and other expert networks. There is no sustainable future without greater resilience of both ecological and social systems."
The Gamo people of Ethiopia's veneration of spirits believed to control some sacred sites have helped to prevent over-exploitation of these areas. But as traditional beliefs are in decline, tree cutting, cattle grazing and forest encroachment are on the rise.
India's Andaman Island is host to the last survivors of pre-Neolithic populations. There are 50 remaining Great Andamanese people on India's Andaman Island, and only 7 still speak their ancestral language. But the wealth of information in their language on local ecology, species and natural disasters offered them protection against the 2004 tsunami.
2010 is the International Year of Biodiversity. Since governments are pressed to come up with new action to halt the loss of biodiversity - as they will fail to fulfill the 2010 targets set by the UN Convention on Biological Diversity - this book is an essential guide for anyone acting in this field.
"We believe our book can help influence policy and practice that helps people to deeply cherish and care for the inherent, but quickly declining, diversity of all biological and cultural life," says Luisa Maffi, co-author of the book. "Biocultural diversity is not something outside us – it is the sum total of nature and culture and the many-faceted expression of the beauty and potential of life on this planet"

Business leaders are asking the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council to spend Gulf oil spill fine money on large-scale coastal restoration projects they say will create jobs, strengthen coastal community resilience and contribute to long-term economic renewal.
Business leaders are asking the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council to spend Gulf oil spill fine money on large-scale coastal restoration projects they say will create jobs, strengthen coastal community resilience and contribute to long-term economic renewal.
More than 120 businesses with combined revenue in excess of $20 billion signed on to a letter in support of restoration. The companies also urged that Gulf states invest the money in worker training initiatives to connect local low-income and disadvantaged workers with new jobs that will be created in constructing, designing and administering restoration projects.
The letter was addressed to the governors of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, who sit on the restoration council, which will decide how the fines are spent.
Nonprofit groups Oxfam America and The Nature Conservancy delivered the letters Tuesday to the Gulf state governors.
Local companies and groups that signed the letter were Bayou Industrial Group and Duplantis Design Group of Thibodaux, South Central Industrial Association and Phylway Construction of Houma and Ted M. Falgout and Associates of Larose.
"If we have the support of the business community then hopefully the local people made most vulnerable by land loss will have a chance as well as the livelihood opportunities that will arise," said Rebecca Templeton, executive director of Bayou Grace, a community nonprofit in Chauvin.
The Restore Act, passed by Congress last year, dedicates 80 percent of Clean Water Act fines from the oil spill back to the Gulf Coast for restoration.
Companies involved with the spill can be fined from $1,000 to $4,300 per barrel leaked after the 2010 deadly explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig.
On Tuesday, a federal judge approved Transocean's $1 billion civil settlement for its involvement in the spill. A portion of those fines will go into the Gulf Restoration Trust Fund and could be available by the end of April, said Teresa Christopher, senior advisor for Gulf restoration with the U.S. Department of Commerce. For BP, that settlement could add up to fines of between $5 billion and $20 billion.
A recent study by Mather Economics found the Restore Act could result in the creation of 57,697 new jobs, an average of about 1,549 new jobs per year.
The money would promote job growth in industries such as transportation and utilities, government, hospitality, business services, construction, retail and manufacturing. Those jobs would have annual wages between $13,334 and $54,471 per year, according to the report.
"Coastal restoration projects have the opportunity to wrap together both ends of the socioeconomic spectrum in the Gulf Coast as it relates to jobs. Under the leadership of the Gulf Coast states, this is a chance to put scientists and engineers to work together with construction and monitoring crews. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to invest in the Gulf environmentally and economically," said Elliott Bouillion, CEO of Resource Environmental Solutions, which operates Louisiana's largest native plant and coastal grass nursery in Pointe-aux-Chenes.
Ecosystem restoration will also protect the Gulf's productive outdoors-based economy. The Gulf Coast produces 1.3 billion pounds of seafood annually with a dockside value of $661 million.
In addition, the Gulf hosts more than 23 million recreational fishing trips each year and provides 600,000 jobs and $9 billion in wages.
Healthy wetlands, barrier islands and oyster reefs can mitigate the impacts of hurricanes and storm surge flooding. Annual losses from disasters are estimated at about $17 billion, according to the letter.
"Thanks to the resources made available through the Restore Act, there is an unprecedented opportunity to restore the Gulf, to strengthen our traditional industries, create new economic mobility and accelerate emerging markets that center on environmental restoration," the letter reads.
Simone Maloz, executive director of Restore or Retreat, a coastal-advocacy group, said as much of the Restore Act dollars as possible should be devoted to restoration. The ecosystem council also has goals to put some of that money toward economic revitalization, Maloz said, but any workforce or economic projects should be weighed carefully by the council for their coastal benefits.

Laimonas Čiakas starts to lead the National Land Service under the Ministry of Agriculture (NLS).
According to Minister of Agriculture Bronius Markauskas, changes in the National Land Service are crucial, as more than half of the complaints received by the Ministry are related to the work of the Service. The main urgent tasks that the new leader of the Service is to implement, names the Minister, is not only to restore confidence in the institution, but also to complete the unforeseen prolongation of the restoration of property rights and, in particular, to strengthen measures to prevent corruption.
"Of course, rebuilding the trust of the NLS in the eyes of the public is an essential objective towards which the work of the Service will move. Also it is important to find the reasons for the factors that led to the problems of the NLS, which remained unresolved. There will have to be a lot of consistent change",– says Laimonas Čiakas, the new leader of the NLS, who has majored in economics and management at the Academy of Agriulture.
L. Čiakas also emphasizes that the NLS is carrying out a special mission - ensuring the proper use of land, the largest state property, therefore, the issues of smooth restoration of ownership rights to land and control of state land will be given priority attention.
Since 2011 March, L. Čiakas has worked for the State Audit Office, has recently headed the First Audit Department of the National Audit Office. Until then he worked as an advisor to the Lithuanian Seimas Committee on European Affairs, and earlier – to the Ministry of Agriculture.

As we cope with severe drought conditions, the state of our local groundwater is of keen interest. In a typical year, about half of the water we use in Santa Clara County is pumped from the ground. The Santa Clara Valley Water District actively manages groundwater basins that span from Palo Alto to Gilroy.
The history of groundwater in Santa Clara County dates back to the 1850s, when local communities began drilling wells to supply water to residents, agriculture and businesses. By 1920, with far more water being pumped than naturally replenished, groundwater levels declined and land subsidence, the broad sagging of the land, occurred over many miles.
The water district was formed in 1929 to address groundwater overdraft and land subsidence. Early water district efforts focused on constructing reservoirs to capture local runoff, and using that water to recharge groundwater through creek beds. These efforts helped groundwater levels to recover somewhat, but explosive population growth after World War II resulted in further strain on groundwater.
Two major breakthroughs helped halt groundwater overdraft and subsidence in Santa Clara County. First, in the late 1960s, Santa Clara County tapped into the State Water Project, and imported water began flowing from the Sierra Nevada watersheds through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to our county. Over the next few years, groundwater levels rebounded.
The growth of Silicon Valley continued to expand the region's need for water. In 1987, imported water began flowing through the federal Central Valley Project into San Luis Reservoir and up to our county. Again, groundwater levels rebounded, despite the six-year drought, which ended in 1992.
This severe drought period, 1987-1992, had a significant impact on the state and our region. Since 1980, the population of our county has grown nearly 45 percent, yet our water use has remained flat.
One reason is that the water district has significantly expanded water conservation. Programs to replace water-guzzling toilets and clothes washers began. Low-flow showerheads became the norm, and the district adopted a model ordinance which promoted water-efficient landscape measures.
The water district also began working with local partners to expand the use of recycled water for non-drinking uses, like irrigation and industrial purposes. Both water conservation and recycling reduce the demands on our groundwater or other water supplies.
The groundwater basin is the county's largest reservoir and our primary reserve during droughts. While future growth of our region will be met primarily through greater conservation and expanded investment of recycled water, the basin beneath our feet is what provides us with the safety margin for continued economic vitality and quality of life.
You can help us protect and preserve our groundwater resources by preventing pollution in our creeks, streams and waterways and by reducing your water use in this drought. There's never been a better time to take advantage of the water district's rebate programs, many of which have been doubled until September.

I stress to customers the importance of selecting a product based on individual personal needs, rather than simply following Consumer Reports or a friend's suggestion.
These sources can help validate a decision, but ultimately, your lifestyle is not your friend's lifestyle — and I'm sure it's certainly not Consumer Report's lifestyle.
Saying that, I think it's interesting to know what we sell the most of in each category. And in dishwashers, it's the Bosch Evolution 300 series (models SHE43P02UC white or SHE43P05UC stainless steel).
It makes sense for the value. This European dishwasher is packed with features for $600 (stainless costs $100 more):
- Energy Star qualified
- Engineered to be super quiet (52 dBa)
- 14-place setting capacity, with adjustable upper rack for taller pots, etc.
- 4 wash cycles, including 30-minute Quick Wash
- OptiDry for spotless drying
- NSF Certified – Eliminates 99.9% of Bacteria
Of course there are a ton more features, but I'm only highlighting the ones I found most interesting.
And some features require more explanation, mostly because they're branded (note the ™) with names that don't really explain what they do, like AquaStop™.
So, for those keeping score at home, AquaStop™ detects leaks in the solid molded base of the dishwasher, shuts down operation and automatically pumps out water before contact with floors. Some won't understand why this is important. And the rest of you had to replace an entire kitchen's worth of hardwood floors and cabinetry due to leaking. Trust me: it's important.
The Flow-Through Heater™ warms water (up to 161 degrees) more efficiently by having it flow through a heating chamber. Other manufacturers use conventional heating elements where water falls randomly onto a coil, warming it inefficiently. This is bad.
And, for the smart feature with the stupid name win: EcoSense™. Standard dishwashers constantly bring fresh water into the dishwasher, which could be completely unnecessary — the water might not be that dirty. So Bosch, being the energy efficient thinker it is, put a sensor in that checks to see how clean or dirty the water is and decides whether a fresh water refill is necessary and will customize the selected cycle to the individual load of dishes.
Again, this might not be the dishwasher for you, but there are a ton of different Bosch dishwashers so perhaps you might find that works best for you.

Much like Iran did late last year when it allegedly recruited Manssor Arbabsiar to perform a terrorist act in the U.S., Tehran has been caught plotting an attack with three Egyptian citizens along the Suez Canal.
Avi Issacharoff at Ha'artz reports Egyptian security forces learned of the attack, planned on an Israeli ship, and arrested Suleiman Razek Abdul-Razek and Salameh Ahmed Salameh Saturday.
The two reportedly received their instructions from Iranian agents, and recruited Mohammed Zakri to help with the plot, in return for 50 million Egyptian pounds — about $8.3 million U.S.
The news came from a report issued by the prosecution in Egypt's state security court and was announced to the public by the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram on Saturday.
Issacharoff's sources told him they have no proof of the two men's involvement other than the fact it was reported at all. Israel has been warning that Iran is setting up terrorist cells in Egypt for just such an attack.
Despite allowing Iranian warships to pass through the Suez on their way to Syria a few months ago, Egypt prohibited any attacks on Israeli targets from within its borders.
A Jerusalem official told Ha'artz:
"We can see signs that Iran is building a terror infrastructure throughout Sinai," he said. The official added that although Israel has responded to every Egyptian request to beef up its forces in Sinai, no significant Egyptian operation has taken place in Sinai since the Egyptian revolution last year.
"It must be remembered that a host of Palestinian organizations are using Sinai to carry out attacks," the official said, adding that since ousted Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi's fall, Libya has become a huge arms depot, where weapons are transferred to Egypt and then the Gaza Strip.
There has been growing concern that Israel will strike out its own against Iran's nuclear facilities and drag the U.S. into a costly, and bloody, conflict.

Forbes indulges in some wealth watching of royals and dictators below. Be warned: Valuing these folks is a tricky business. For starters, one must figure out what actually belongs to them and what belongs to their throne or their country. For instance, Forbes does not count the crown jewels or Buckingham Palace as part of Queen Elizabeth II's net worth. She enjoys these riches, but they technically belong to the British state, much like the White House belongs to the U.S. government.
Some of these estimates are pretty rigorous. Others are a little fuzzier. For example, we calculate the net worth of Castro based on a percentage of Cuba's GDP. We separate these folks from our traditional ranking of the world's billionaires because of these reasons and because a couple simply do not boast the $1 billion purse necessary to qualify.
The House of Orange polished the ceremonial carriages in February for the marriage of crown prince Willem-Alexander. His bride is a former investment banker from Argentina. Princess Máxima (née Zorreguieta) learned Dutch prior to the wedding, in part to allay public fears about her father, who was a high-ranking minister in the brutal military junta that ruled Argentina in the 1970s. Queen Beatrix has embraced her new daughter-in-law, but Máxima's father wasn't invited to the wedding. The Queen's fortune is believed to be tied up in large stakes in Royal Dutch Petroleum and ABN AMRO.
United Kingdom
Queen Elizabeth II marks her 50th year on the throne this year. Though she remains popular with her subjects, the relatively subdued Golden Jubilee celebration for her 50th reflects the waning public interest in the monarchy. Like the rest of the London exchange, the queen's stock portfolio is believed to have suffered declines last year. Still the bulk of her fortune is tied up in luxury real estate like Balmoral Castle in Scotland. The queen spends much of her time tending to her family. The latest events: the recent death of her sister and Prince Harry's well-publicized marijuana exploits.
Saudi Arabia
King Fahd remains the technical ruler of Saudi Arabia, but the stroke he suffered in 1995 means his half-brother Prince Abdullah rules de facto. Much of his fortune is owed to oil interests, real estate and equity investments. His palaces in Riyadh and Jidda are said to have cost a combined $5 billion.
North Korea
North Korea's "Dear Leader" reportedly buys Mercedes Benz cars by the dozen and is said to be one of the world's biggest importers of Hennessy's cognac. His 60th birthday, in April, is a national holiday, as is that of his father Kim Il-Sung who died in 1994. The 60th birthday is a benchmark event in the zodiac cycle, and festivities for the dictator will last from April to June.
Concerns about the health of the 75-year-old cigar-smoking, fatigue-wearing dictator persist. (Castro's brother Raul was tapped as successor years ago.) Despite a U.S. ban on travel to the debt-laden nation, Castro has reportedly hosted filmmaker Oliver Stone, Ted Turner and CBS president Leslie Moonves in the last year.
Defending himself in The Hague against charges of genocide, the former president of Yugoslavia is said to have salted away $100 million in banks around the world. According to published reports, the German Federal Intelligence Service, Germany's equivalent of the CIA, said the money came from money laundering, drug dealing and oil and tobacco smuggling. It also alleged that Milosevic skimmed off privatization of state-owned companies.
The Sultan, who is the absolute ruler of Brunei, controls income the country receives from its oil and gas exports. Forbes estimates that his fortune, once as high as $38 billion, has been depleted to $10 billion. The Sultan's brother, Prince Jefri, squandered billions on decadent knick-knacks like Mercedes Benz fire engines and gilded toilet paper holders. Some 10,000 of these items ended up on the auction block last summer in a well-publicized fire sale to repay creditors of Amedeo, a debt-heavy private company Prince Jefri once headed.

Box Office: 'Hunger Games' dominates again; Roberts flops [Video]
"The Hunger Games" was the dominant force at the box office for the second consecutive weekend, blowing by the quarter-billion-dollar mark after just 10 days in release.
The film about teens battling one another for survival did so well that two new films suffered: the 3-D sequel "Wrath of the Titans" and the Snow White adaptation "Mirror Mirror." The follow-up to 2010's "Clash of the Titans" collected $34.2 million, while the modern spin on the fairy tale only grossed $19 million.
The latter film was another box office dud for Julia Roberts, who plays the evil Queen in "Mirror Mirror." After appearing in a string of flops, can the actress retain her A-list status? Check out this week's box office video report for more.
'Bully' will get re-cut to land a PG-13, sources say
Another victorious weekend for 'The Hunger Games'

10 Steps to a Suicide Prevention Plan
Jovan's Tragic Journey
Imagine: Jovan is on top of the world – athletic football star, first string starter for the Kansas City Chiefs, father of a beautiful three-month-old daughter. But a rash decision during a heated argument forfeits it all. And today, two lives are tragically snuffed out – a young, new mother violently murdered and a hotheaded "hero" … by suicide.
But, how could this horror have even happened? Financial issues, strained relationships, changing family dynamics – sound familiar? Actually, everyone must contend with these stressors at some point. And while they are difficult for everyone, for some, they are deadly. Add alcohol, immaturity and a gun ... and a catastrophic concoction has just been created for NFL linebacker Jovan Belcher, causing him to commit the murder/suicide that drew worldwide headlines.1
The Prevention Plan
If you are in the midst of a turbulent relationship ... if you are seriously wanting to harm someone ... if you are contemplating suicide, plan now to avoid making the same type of impetuous, overpowering choices that can only cause immeasurable pain – choices that are irreversibly permanent. Before you are tempted to take violent action, decide now … 2
1. I will not:
• Act on impulse or act rashly
• Take any action that is harmful or even potentially harmful to myself, others or property
• Drive my automobile if there is a possibility of driving recklessly
"Now this is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Give careful thought to your ways'" (Haggai 1:5 NIV).
2. I will pray:
"In you, LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame ... come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me" (Psalm 31:1-2 NIV; pray verses 1-9, 14-24).
3. I will claim God's promises:
"My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life" (Psalm 119:50 NIV).
4. I will recite Scriptures aloud:
"Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed" (Psalm 57:1 NIV).
5. I will question myself:
• "Why do I feel the need to hurt myself – or others?"
• "What do I think I will accomplish through this?"
• "What impact would this act have on those who care about me?"
• "Would God approve of this?"
• "Would the people I love approve of this?"
• "Would the people who care about me approve of this?"
"The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception" (Proverbs 14:8 NIV).
Yet for Jovan ... it's too late ... He kneels over the bloodied form of the woman he loved and asks forgiveness, but she is already dead – with nine bullets in her body. Then he says good-bye to his mother and infant daughter and drives to Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs' home field. Outside the team facility, Jovan thanks his mentors for their investment in his life, asking them to care for his child. Emotionally devastated by his impulsive crime, he ends his own life.
So ... what lessons can we learn from this lingering tragedy? Do not allow your story to mirror these anguishing scenes of brokenness. Instead resolve …
6. I will make positive affirmations:
• "God loves me and has a purpose for my life."
• "Because God has a plan for me, I will treat the body He gave me with respect."
• "Because God loves all people, I will treat others with kindness and respect."
• "Even though I can't see the future, I will walk by faith, not by sight."
The Lord says, "For I know the plans I have for you ... plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV).
7. I will review encouraging words:
• Read aloud positive letters and notes from friends and family
• Review positive thoughts of why it's worth it to wait ... and heal
• Recall those who believe in me and my growth
• Remember what others have said about why there is hope for me
• Rehearse God's promise:
"The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged" (Deuteronomy 31: NIV).
8. I will listen to uplifting praise music:
"Sing the praises of the LORD, you his faithful people; praise his holy name" (Psalm 30:4 NIV).
9. I will consider how special it is to be a child of God:
"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!" (1 John 3:1 NIV).
10. I will call for help:
• If I continue to spiral downward emotionally and recognize that I am in a crisis, I will reach out and call others who will be helpful and truthful. They can help me regain perspective.
• I will continue to call until I have reached someone. I will state directly, "I am calling because I am in an emotional crisis."
• I will honestly discuss the feelings and events that led to the crisis and seek possible solutions.
• I will continue making as many phone calls as necessary until the crisis is resolved, no matter what time of day or night.
But who would you call? Having a list already prepared, can be a matter of life and death.
Here is help for compiling a call list:
Friend: _________________________________
Relative: _________________________________
CounselorTherapist _________________________________
Doctor _________________________________
Church _________________________________
Pastor _________________________________
Crisis Hot Line _________________________________
Hope For The Heart 1-800-488-HOPE (4673)
Suicide Prevention 1-800-SUICIDE (784-2433)
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up" (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NIV).
Prepare your response before a crisis
Most likely, Jovan Belcher made no preparations for dealing with an emotional crisis, but he absolutely regretted his violent, impulsive behavior and ultimately, saw no way out but to forfeit his own life. This fact is certain: Suicide is never the right response in a crisis … never.
You are a unique creation of God. Your life has invaluable significance to Him, and He has unique plans for your life. Therefore, plan now to take the necessary precautions to protect yourself and others. Never forget, He promises to give you ... hope for your heart.

Shailene Woodley: Lovely in yellow at 'The Fault In Our Stars' premiere
Shailene Woodley, 22, looked like a star, (literally!), in her bright yellow gown at the premiere of her new flick, The Fault In Our Stars at the Ziegfeld Theater on June 2 in NYC. Woodley was completely glowing at the premiere and she stole the show - it was premiere perfect! What do you guys think of Shailene's gorgeous gown? VOTE!
Shailene Woodley's 'The Fault In Our Stars' Premiere Dress - Her Glowing Yellow Gown:
The young star looked absolutely fab, (once again!), with her simplistic yet elegant style. Woodley always manages to look effortless but flawless at the same time!
For her very last stop on the promotional tour for her new film, Shailene went out with a bang in a delectable Ralph Lauren Collection gown. The sleek silhouette was perfect for Shailene's svelte frame and fit her like a glove. The dress was strapless, showing off her toned upper body, and the peplum added the perfect touch, completely cinching in her waist and highlighting her figure!
She let the dress do all the talking by just donning a pair of sparkly heels, a simple gold ring, necklace, and studs, leaving her arms completely bare. A slicked back 'do and a magenta lip completed her look, making it perfect for the red carpet!
Shailene Woodley's Simple Yet Chic Style:
Shailene has a special way of throwing together a simple, yet classy outfits that completely suit her. Just before the red carpet of the premiere, Woodley was seen walking around barefoot - saving her pain from her shoes til the very last minute! She is so down to earth and we would have done the same thing. She has a total tomboy style that we admire and her effortless fashion is always chic.

My first recollections of a telephone were as a child. The instrument was black and stood like an old outside water spigot, with a large round head that you spoke into. To listen, there was a round cylinder hooked to a black cord attached to a hook, which you jiggled to make contact with the operator, also known as "central."
I wasn't the dumbest kid on my block, because I had been taught to read the newspapers at an early age. Maybe I didn't grasp everything in print, but I could tell that America was getting back on her feet at the end of the Great Depression.
On my 83rd birthday, I was knee deep in banking problems. At my age, I should be running (make that hopping along) after pretty girls and checking out new sports cars. But not this day.
Some years ago, my bank convinced me to move into the computer age. You'll no longer be bogged down with reams of bank statements and canceled checks, they told me. With just a few strokes on the keyboard and remembering the proper passwords, I had all my banking stuff at my fingertips.
Recently I described my Chesterfield Avenue neighborhood as two-story wooden framed homes with wide, breezy porches. Well, that's not the whole picture.
The television variety of weather folks didn't exist back in the days of my youth. In fact, television didn't exist. We got our weather predications from the Esso Weatherman on WBT radio out of Charlotte.
Do you recall school auditoriums where speakers came and told us all kinds of stuff?
At Chesterfield Avenue Grammar School, we had touring magic shows, the dental show where we all got a new toothbrush and a tube of Ipana Toothpaste. We had morning chapel, sang "Onward, Christian Soldiers" and closed our eyes for a fast prayer to help get us off the hook for the evil we had done, were doing or maybe were about to do. Seems like the third grade always had a class play filled with silly songs and tap dancing.
Now my mama wouldn't approve of me sharing this chapter of my life with folks. The reason being that it was a great big fib to begin with.
She might not mind, though, if she saw all the news stories a few years ago about how down and out Lancaster had become, with Springs gone, high unemployment and such. It was spread all over television and in the papers.
Usually, my great-grandson, Steven, spends the weekend with us. To be more specific, he spends his weekend on our computer.
I have no secrets in cyberworld. Steven has unlocked my passwords, and in doing so, he has unleashed a stalking tiger. As his granny says, "Well, you let him do it, so don't complain."
This boy is only 8 years old, and we do our best to protect him from unsavory individuals and web sites.
Oh boy, what a surprise! I knew it was cold that day as soon as I popped my bare feet on the cold bedroom floor. The windows were glazed over with beads of moisture. That always happened when it was colder outside than in our house.
Well, I didn't get that flu shot as early as I planned. It's no wonder the sniffling, snorting and lousy feelings have just about gotten the best of me and my bride.
Out of Klennex, push came to shove and I made the trek to the Walmarts.
There is one thing for sure, spring cleaning comes every year whether you live on a dirt road or a paved road. If doesn't play favorites, either.
Seems like mamas and aunts have some kind of little bell built inside of 'em and when the trees bud and the wild onions sprout, that bell starts clanging and there is work to be done.
Old Man Winter's cobwebs, dust and mildew are gonna get wiped away.
