International Ethics: A Critical Introduction provides an engaging and accessible introduction to these foundational questions. In a cogent and carefully argued analysis, Richard Shapcott critically examines the theories of cosmopolitanism, communitarianism, realism and pluralism and scrutinises their approaches to the various obligations which members of 'bounded' communities, primarily nation-states, have to 'outsiders' and 'foreigners'. He then takes the theoretical approaches in context by discussing the ethics of hospitality and membership of political communities, issues of mutual aid and humanitarianism abroad, the ethics of harm related to interstate international violence, and the challenge of severe global poverty. The book concludes by suggesting that the terms of international ethical life in the 21st century require reframing in a way that focuses more intently on the nature of harm between communities and individuals.
This book provides students and scholars with a conceptual framework with which to analyse the policies, actions and philosophy of governments, NGOs and international corporations. Above all, it offers the means whereby individuals can assess their own positions on contemporary ethical issues such as global poverty, humanitarian intervention, migration and refugees and global warming.

"Unfailingly lucid and admirably comprehensive, International Ethics skilfully guides the reader through the complexities of recent debates on the morality of war and intervention, poverty and social justice, and the rights of asylum seekers and refugees. A strong argument for a cosmopolitan ethic of respecting persons, displaying hospitality and avoiding harm is advanced in this impressive work which deserves pride of place in courses on global ethics."
Andrew Linklater, Aberystwyth University
"A thoughtful, lively and stimulating account of international ethics that speaks directly to contemporary audiences. It is an accessible yet sophisticated guide to the hard questions raised by moral reflection and ethical practice in today's increasingly globalized world."
Patrick Hayden, University of St Andrews
- comprehensive and engaging introduction to the difficult terrain of international ethics
- aims is to provide the reader with a set of frameworks and concepts with which he or she can situate and assess any number of ethical challenges and solutions
- illuminates theoretical arguments with pertinent historical and up-to-date examples
- clearly written, this book is the ideal introduction for students and also provides a unique and original contribution to the field

Luis Angel Aponte-Rodriguez, 16, died at home Monday after a lifelong illness
STOUGHTON – When Luis Angel Aponte-Rodriguez, 16, is laid to rest Friday, his parents will be wearing white.
"He was our angel," said Luis Angel Aponte, the Stoughton teen's father. "He never did anything wrong."
Luis was born with severe hypertonia, a damaged central nervous system, leaving him confined to a wheelchair or bed.
He also had a mental delay and epilepsy, according to his mother, Migdalia Rodriguez.
Louis passed away at home on Monday. He spent the previous day with his great grandparents, who were visiting from Puerto Rico, and a large collection of cousins, aunts and uncles.
Luis wasn't battling any illnesses recently.
"He was just touched by God, I guess," said Aponte. "He wasn't really sick."
Though Luis had health problems his whole life; he would light up a room.
"I know he touched a lot of people," said Aponte.
His parents said people loved interacting with their son. Though he couldn't speak, he showed his delight.
Luis was a charismatic boy with big eyes and an even bigger smile.
"He was a very happy, sweet boy that loved to look out his window," said Rodriguez.
He also loved balloons and his caterpillar stuffed animal.
Everlina Jones, Luis' nurse for the past seven years, cared for him at home.
She called him "her little prince."
Luis was born in his parent's native Puerto Rico. After he was born, his parents consulted doctors there, looking for a diagnosis.
When Luis was a year and a half old, his mother moved with him to Massachusetts.
"We moved to the US to look for an answer," said Rodriguez.
They first lived in Waltham and spent the last eight years in Stoughton.
Luis was seen by doctors in the area, but his family never found real answers about his condition.
He was treated at Franciscan Hospital for Children in Brighton for years.
Most recently, he attended South Elementary School in Stoughton.
Paying for Luis' care, has been difficult for the family at times.
In late 2009, the family received great news.
A stranger offered to give the family $25,000 for a new wheel-chair accessible van.
The family bought the vehicle, but the generous promise of the stranger never produced a cent.
"After we bought the van, we were basically struggling," said Aponte, who is still making payments on the van.
Luis lived at home with his brothers, Hyden J. Aponte, 10, and Jonathan J. Aponte, 3.
His family and friends are asked to wear white to the funeral, which will take place at St. Patrick Church, Brockton, at 10 a.m., Friday.
Aponte found the purity of the color to be the perfect way to say goodbye to his son.
A viewing will be held Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. and Friday at 8:45 at Farley Funeral Home, 358 Park St., Stoughton.
Envelopes to make donations to the family are available at the funeral home.

Two leading politicians are staying put. Risky stuff. And what I'm doing next...
Look at the time, is it 2013 already? I've hardly given thought to anything since Christmas except what needs to be done to keep the kids happy and what jobs need to be done around the house (when we weren't in Onemana or Gisborne). But here are two brief thingamies to kick off the year...
First, I'm starting a new job this year, producing TV3's new primetime current affairs debate programme, The Vote. It should be a blast and it'll be great to work with Duncan Garner and, again, with Guyon Espiner.
Regulars here will know that I've produced (with Maryanne Ahern) Q+A on One since its birth four years ago. It's been superb, but also exhausting. So I'm looking forward to weekends again! But Q+A goes on with some new folk – although Maryanne, Shane Taurima and others will still be involved and will keep doing a grand job, I'm sure. What's really exciting is that before I left the programmers at TVNZ agreed to repeat Q+A late on Sunday evenings. It's not primetime, heck it's even well past the time you should eat cheese if you want to avoud bad dreams! But it's another chance for people to watch and record that rarest TV beast – tough politics interviewing.
The Vote will be something new – a big event every month in which Guyon and Duncan lead teams debating the big issues of the moment. It'll be unashamedly smart, but it'll be something new, what you might call competitive current affairs. There will be a winner and a loser, decided by the studio audience and people voting from home (hence the name). So the drama comes from both the topic and the format.
But best of all it's a chance to spark real national conversation in this niched world. The hope is that folk will sit around at home – perhaps whole families and flats! – and join in the debate. Whatever the topic, viewers will get the best, most passionate arguments that can be made. There will be no lazy assumptions that everybody thinks one way or another, but rather a strong, compelling case made for and against whatever the topic may be. So, fingers crossed.
The othert thingamy is to share some rough thoughts on the early fizz bubbling up in politics this week. In short, two people are staying where they are, much to the frustration of many others.
John Key has finally moved off the fence and committed to Hekia Parata remaining as Education Minister, which will worry some in the party. Her performance last year was the low point for National. Kim Dotcom, slow recovery anger in Christchurch, Opposition attacks (such as they were) and even Key's own weary evasiveness didn't match education in terms of damage done to the party's electoral prospects. Of course political popularity usually works like erosion, slowing slipping away a few pebbles at a time. But if there was a storm to end National's John Key-led honeymoon – a second term tipping point – it was the class size debacle.
Parata is smart, photogenic and an important part of National's message that it's not just the preserve of rich white men. Indeed, it's interesting to ponder if she'd still be in the job if she was a rich white man. Being the poll-watcher that he is, I'd assume Parata still polls ok with women voters. Or, at least, his appeal with women is strong enough to take the risk. Because risk it is. Parata has her blood in the water now, is notoriously prickly and Key's assertion that she's staying because of her communication skills is, well, questionable to me.
The other stayer in Pita Sharples. The first thing to always say about Sharples is that he is one of the great Maori leaders of his generation and a remarkable man. Having said that, the next point is to ask what on earth he is thinking.
He has been a reluctant spokesman for some time, so it's curious why he wouldn't have been happy negotiating some senior role which meant influence but not leadership. Te Ururoa Flavell has been working hard to earn his chance, but was clearly worn out by the end of last year. He was openly questioning his future in politics then, so now he must be looking at the jobs sites pretty closely now that his path to leadership seems blocked. Sharples knows that, so what's he playing at?
Maybe he relishes more power with Turia gone? Maybe he has a female coleader in mind who he things is the perfect foil for him? But the reality is that the party is struggling to win support and the brand looks as tired as its leaders.
Some have proposed that this is bad news for National. If the Maori Party remains at no more than two percent, it offers little as a coalition partner. But to be frank the Maori Party offers National little succour any which way. With Sharples remaining, it's hard to see any surge in the polls. But if Flavell was to take over, he would likely lead the party more to the left anyway.
Key must hope that Sharple can find a few more percent and maintain his conservative instinct. Meanwhile Labour may want to do some more serious courting, given that it's been Turia's personal anti-Labour stance that has stood most strongly between those two parties.
Sharples' decision is hard to comprehend from the party's point of view, but let's not do any writing off just yet. 2014 could be close enough that even at three perecent, the Maori Party and its leaders could have significant sway.

We have a space outpost 1 light year from earth that we want
to send a message to in much less than a year.
We have a collection of satellites in large orbit around earth
and a collection of satellites in large orbit around the outpost.
Each satellite will have a large mirror for collecting, focusing and reflecting
our transmissions. Each satellite will travel at 99% the speed of light.
When we transmit our message from earth we will utilize a satellite near earth
and a satellite near the outpost that are traveling toward each other.
Because the satellites are moving toward each other at almost the speed
of light the distance between the satellites will be contracted (length contraction).
The message will only have a short trip between the satellites. This will allow
a message travel time of much less than a year from earth to the outpost.
We are simply reflecting a message through an alternate reality.
Except the speed of light is always c (~ 3 x 10^8 m/s) regardless of the reference frame, so the light still has to travel the same distance for each (relatively-stationary) observer. The total length the light/data would travel is still the complete length of outpost-satellite1-satellite2-earth
You forgot to factor in time dilation. Proper time in the satellite frame doesn't match with the earth/colony proper time.
BTW, I've seen the subtitle:
Rule of thumb : the likelihood that a couple lines written on a forum between two meals can overrule a century of thought experiments, building up of conjectures and consistent set of equations, and (incredibly abundant) experimental testing and verification of these conjectures is absurdly close to 0.
Good point you could be right.
Most of the experimental testing and verification has been electro dynamics
and subatomic particles. Things might work different in the macro world we live in.
Is the universe analog or digital?
Is the human mind analog or digital?
If you travel in a space ship at almost the speed of light,
and the distance between objects contracts in the direction of your motion,
do the orbits of the objects change?
Do planets that are now closer to the star they orbit heat up?
Yeah for the fact of not being able to speed up light this way, and processing time it would require, having a pony hyperexpress system would be quicker.
If you run protons around a circular track at 99.9999999955 % the speed of light
and another track that runs perpendicular to it, and another track that runs perpendicular
to the first two all running at the same time.
do you get the whole universe in the accelerator after one full lap?
Do I need more nines? That could get bright in there.
I'm only half joking.
Probably they would meet at the other end and undergo fusion.
Ok I thing this idea is like voyagers slingshotting from Jupiter, but the only problem is that the speed of light can't change. I think you are suggesting using mass.
One possible outcome.
I wanted to see what some objects would look like if I boosted their velocity
and took a picture while they flew by.
A pentagon, special protractor, clock, gears and ruler.
If you made a small hollow gear and spun it with a lazar really fast
would the diameter shrink?
If an object is rotating parallel to its relativistic velocity
could length contraction precession occur?
Your asking me about a wormhole. I remember reading how it would require taking the mass of Jupiter down to two centimeters.
Not nessasarily with physics if you have the energy.
I haven't seen substantial proof in the space time.
Give me the money if it is possible I can build a wormhole. Assuming I don't time travel instead.
By the way contact is a good movie, not scientific, but good anyways.
Lets take an imaginary trip using current theory.
To make it easy to visualize we will say the speed of light is
100.00500025001250062503125156258 miles per hour.
We will take a space ship from earth to a space station 100 miles from earth.
We leave and go to the space station, the people on earth see that our trip
took 1 hour, and that we went 100 mph.
When we get to the space station our clock says the trip took 36 seconds.
That means we went 10000 mph to go 100 miles.
We know we can only go 100 mph with our ship and can't go faster than the
speed of light 100.00500025001250062503125156258 mph.
Therefore we in the ship only went 1 mile at a speed of 100 mph.
This means that while on our trip the distance from earth to the
station is 1 mile.
I used .99995 as our fraction of the speed of light and a Lorentz factor of 100.
We could go with the many worlds interpretation because this trip has 2.
In 1 world the station is 100 miles away from earth and in the other world the station
is 1 mile away from earth.
The real speed of light is 669600000 miles per hour.
Disclaimer: My math might be right.
First: Light speed is 2.79 x 10 ^6 m/s. The sun is 8 light minutes from Earth, approximately 93 million miles or one AU (astronomical unit). The moon is 1.3 light seconds from Earth, approximately 240,000 miles. Closest system to Earth is the Centauri system, Alpha Beta and Proxima at 4.25 light years. The fastest man made object is the Parker sun probe traveling at 400,000 mph thanks to two gravity assists from Venus. At that speed it will arrive on station some time in December. Average distance to Mars is 225 million km and app. 12.5 light minutes depending on their positions in orbit with respect to one another.
Second: To attain light speed (with an object of mass) you'd need to increase the amount of energy needed which adds mass to the object. The more energy needed to increase power, the more mass is added according to Einstein's equivalency principle E=MC ^2. The more mass there is the more energy needed to move it until it becomes infinite. Time dilation, clocks slow down because you're moving faster than the tic toc of the clock. Length contraction occurs because your bow is moving exponentially faster than your stern and your stern needs to catch up as it were. Therefore it contracts. More as it comes in lol.
I think this is special relativity I think the 36 seconds would be on the ship while the one hour would be at the station. According to special relativity when you are moving faster than the objects around you. It wouldn't be one mile it would only seem like it is one mile.
I think you guys need to read up on 'Doppler Effect' ...
Relativity is all about where the observer is - relative to what is experienced [seen/heard] ...
I know the Doppler effect and I understand relativity. The doppler effect is a good example of time dilation. An object moving towards you compresses a signal (higher frequency), shifts it towards the blue side of the spectrum therefore the signal reaches you faster. As it moves away from you the signal is stretched towards the red part of the spectrum (lower frequency) and the time it takes to reach you is longer depending on the distance traveled. Relativity is nothing more than perception. Where and or when you are with respect to your surroundings.
The following dramatization is theoretically possible with future technology,
fast acceleration equipment and an I-G-suit with built in cell phone and fax machine.
I am still using the math in reply #14 above to draw the picture.
You are holding your mental evaluation test results requested by your
personal doctor. You are near a space express station and your doctor
is at another space station one light hour from your location.
You could fax the test results to your doctor and he could read
them and fax you a prescription that you would receive in two hours
and five minutes your time, then you could go to a near by pharmacy for your pills.
But you are in a hurry, so you get on the space express and hand deliver the test
results to your doctor. 36 seconds travel to the station 5 minutes to the doctor
5 minutes for him to read the test results and write the prescription and 10
minutes at the pharmacy on the doctors station. Total under 25 minutes your time.
It happens that you have to work at the station you are now at in five hours.
You can see a movie and eat dinner before you have to clock in.
Enjoy your pill.
It's weird. Each successive post you make in this thread makes less sense than the one before it.
I read the doppler effect, and then I had to read the Wikipedia on frequency. Ok if I'm moving in a car then the distance would be shorter ahead of me, than behind me which is longer. I don't need a scientists to tell me this. This is a fact assuming the car went past me. A frequency is how many beams goes past me in agiven second. This is how fast, but in the doppler effect works on how far. Wether I shoot a beam a foot or a mile this does not affect how many times I shoot it. My question is how does that affect frequency. This says that if I shoot 100 beams 1 foot, then 100 beams turn into 101 beams if I shoot it 2 feet. If it is saying this then I say no.
Second contention is that according to relativity which came after the doppler effect. Light speed can only go at oneconstant speed. According to the doppler effect it can go faster, and slower. They used solar Ray's which is light as one example.
I think I will leave this for all you professionals that know what you are talking about.
Just to let people know those are questions
The Doppler effect is a frequency change caused by your relative motion
with the wave or the thing emitting the wave. It happens with sound and light waves,
the speed of the wave doesn't change.With light there is a wave length change also
and probably with any wave. We are looking at light waves in this post.
Here is an example of the effect with sound.
Lets bring it down to earth a bit. The speed of light is a constant, in a vacuum. So lets define light. Basically its electromagnetic in nature. It travels in waves, doppler effect, longer red going away from you, short sharp blue coming at you. Light can be deflected, it can be bent or curved depending on its local environment. Now take away the vacuum and light exhibits different properties. You can't speed it up but you can slow it down. A single quanta, photon of light, has been 'seen' moving through a medium like gas or whatever was used. This photon was even stopped cold, held in place briefly and photographed by a really fast camera. I saw this demonstration in an article I found on the news a while back. I guess you can still Google it. The point being is that what we perceive as constants albeit irrefutable in some cases like the Planck length and Planck time, smallest length and smallest time that can be measured, are only the results of current knowledge.
Currently we can measure the effects gravity has on local environments in space. We've detected gravity waves, ripples in space/time, eerily similar to the waves created by dropping something in water. So what does that prove? That space, like air and water, share similar characteristics. Of the three water is the densest. There is a lot more for an object to push against, friction. In the air not so much but the faster you go in that medium friction becomes a real issue. It gets hot, very hot, hot enough to melt metal. Leave now for space and the environment changes drastically. In space the density is on average one particle per ten cubic meters. That may not sound like a lot but on the scale of the universe that translates to a whole lot! Locally that means nothing, there isn't enough to get in your way.
The fastest surface vessel, in this case a Norwegian combat ship, is approximately 70 mph. In the air speeds of mach 7 have been achieved, seven times the speed of sound or 4,900 mph give or take. In space velocity is limited, according to current theory, to the speed of light. In all three mediums you are limited to how fast you can go using conventional means. We can use an ion drive but it takes a very long time, years, to reach an appreciable speed. An ion drive is basically an electric engine. We could use nuclear power but that was scrapped, I think in the early sixties, because of the cost, the risk and the lack of sufficient knowledge to pull it off. It was Project Orion. It might have worked but again, it will take a long time, not as much as an ion drive, but enough to dampen any dreams of getting to even the closest star system in a reasonable amount of time. Next up is a matter/antimatter drive. Sounds good in theory, but making it a reality right now is in the realm of fantasy, almost. There is the Alcubierre drive. A theoretical warp drive proposed some years ago. In theory and on paper it looks good but that's where it stays for the foreseeable future. We've taken our theories of physics to the point where they begin to break down. Like trying to see inside of a black hole, it can't be done because physics doesn't work beyond a certain point. The only way IMO to get past that limit would be first, to generate enough energy to reach light speed and second, multiply that energy to 'go faster' as it were.
Simply put it takes an enormous amount of power to speed up a single particle close to but not at the speed of light, 99.9 something something something percent. Not accurate but you get the idea. A ton of power to move a particle, imagine what it would take to move a ship in space. I can't even think that high.

FAYETTEVILLE � Arkansas forward Marshawn Powell noticed something different in the locker room before Tuesday�s game against No. 2 Florida.
It was quiet. It was intense. The Razorbacks understood the opportunity that awaited them against the Southeastern Conference�s top team. So much they didn�t need coach Mike Anderson to say anything to them before they took the court.
�The level of concentration and focus in the locker room was unbelievable,� Powell said. �Coach didn�t even have to do his usual pep up talk. We were already ready.�
It was evident Tuesday night, when Arkansas used a blistering start to ambush Florida during an 80-69 win in front of an announced crowd of 13,059 in Bud Walton Arena. The Razorbacks jumped on top of the Gators � who had been beating Southeastern Conference opponents with ease � by as much as 27 points and did enough down the stretch to remain perfect at home in SEC play.
It helped Arkansas (14-8, 5-4 in SEC) avenge last year�s 30-point home loss to the Gators (18-3, 8-1), which was its worst in Bud Walton Arena history. It finally gave the Hogs a significant win under Anderson, too, beating a team ranked second or higher for the first time since a 104-88 win against No. 2 Auburn on Feb. 24, 1999.
Anderson said before the game his team would have to play close to perfection on both ends of the floor to win. They nearly accomplished it on a memorable night.
�Our guys were wanting to play,� Anderson said. �They wanted to go out and perform well. We had our fans here. We had a national audience.�
Powell set the tone from the opening tip, knocking down a 3-pointer for the second straight game to start the scoring. But unlike the Tennessee win, when the rest of the Razorbacks struggled from long range, Powell�s teammates followed his lead.
Mardracus Wade � who was 4-for-23 from behind the 3-point line in SEC play � knocked down two straight to give the Razorbacks a quick 9-2 lead. BJ Young, Jacorey Williams and Michael Qualls joined in as well. The early barrage of buckets helped the Razorbacks take a surprising 36-13 lead with 9:19 left in the half.
Arkansas was shooting just 24 percent from behind the 3-point line through eight conference games. But the Razorbacks opened 7-for-10 on Tuesday night.
�That�s something that hasn�t been happening on a consistent basis for us,� Anderson said. �But I think we�re a much better shooting team than the stats show. I thought (Tuesday) we got a chance to see some of that.�
But the performance was unexpected against a Florida defense that entered Tuesday�s game holding SEC opponents to just 48.6 points a game. The Gators had been rolling through SEC play, leaning on its stifling defense to suffocate opponents.
Arkansas made 15 of its first 20 shots Tuesday night. The Hogs eventually cooled off late in the half, making one of their final 10 attempts. But they still led 43-27.
�They shot the ball very, very well,� Florida coach Billy Donovan said. �For me coming into the game that was a concern. I know the stat shows in the league they are shooting 24 percent, but give Mike a lot of credit. � I am sure Mike instilled confidence in them to just keep shooting the ball. I thought we did a poor job of letting them shoot the ball with their feet set and not having our hands up at all.�
Arkansas continued to dominate Florida in the second half, getting out in transition for some easy buckets. One of the biggest highlights came on a lob pass from Rashad Madden to Coty Clarke, who dunked the ball to push Arkansas� lead to 67-40.
The Razorbacks had to hold on over the final 9:40, though. Florida finally settled down and began making shots to cut into Arkansas� lead quickly.
The Gators used a 19-5 run over the next six minutes to close to 72-59. But Michael Qualls got a dunk on a fast break a few seconds later to end the threat and Arkansas went 6-for-6 from the free-throw line the rest of the way to wrap up the win.
Arkansas� 80 points against Florida was a season-high. The previous best was Kansas State, which beat the Gators 67-61 on Dec. 22.
Anderson called it a �team win� and he was right. Eight Arkansas players finished with seven or more points Tuesday night, turning in one of the most balanced performances. Young led the way with 13 points, while Powell and Qualls added 11.
Anderson, who didn�t press the up-tempo Gators on Tuesday night, also lauded his halfcourt defense for making life tough on Florida all night.
Mike Rosario led Florida with 15 points, while Scottie Wilbekin added 14. Florida�s leading scorers � Kenny Boynton and Erik Murphy � combined for just 19.
�We knew they were going to come out and play hard,� Boynton said. �They played harder than us. It was just their night.�
The Razorbacks enjoyed the aftermath, too. Several players ran to the student section, jumped in the crowd and celebrated the win for several minutes.
Powell then said in the postgame interview room the upset �showed the level of potential that we have.� He watched last year�s 30-point loss from the bench because of his knee injury, but was determined to lead Arkansas to �something positive� in its second chance against the Gators on Tuesday night.
It happened. And Anderson believes it will continue as his team presses forward.
�I think we played against an outstanding team and it was good to see us come out and perform,� Anderson said. �I think more than anything else it just tells me that we are growing up. I told people before the season that you are going to see this team change before your eyes throughout the season. We have taken some lumps throughout the season, but you can see the growth.�

'"They are very good at preparing conditions to suit themselves I think," Smith said of his hosts.'
That's Graeme Smith, guys and dolls. Now I completely disagree with this statement, and although it was dressed up diplomatically, I feel it was a criticism of the way NZ prepares for its home games.
I don't believe that's the case, heres why:
1. NZ Cricket have repeatedly stated that they are trying to move away from the "low, slow" pitches of the past, to tracks that contain more pace and bounce.
2. Last season's India series was an aberration brought about mainly through experiments aimed at getting the results mentioned in point 1, and extremely uncooperative weather. Like it or not, with climate change, these are our summers now.
3. Seam movement is also going to benefit the South Africans, given that their attack, like NZ's, is predominantly comprised of right-arm seamers.
4. What exactly is wrong with seam movement anyway? We can't have nothing but rolled concrete-type pitches on which both sides knock up 500. How about some variety? Test the skills? Come on batters, you love it...

For those who can't be bothered with a DIY kitchen timer tripod (and I'm one of you), now you can just go ahead and buy one: the Camalapse, from Camarush, does the trick with an adorable egg timer. Updated with video!
The Camalapse really is simple, just an egg timer modified to have a tripod mount on the bottom and camera mount on the top:
Just attach your gear, set it, and forget it. It'll set you back $25—which includes just the timer itself, not the tripod, etc—which is at least as much as all of the butchered egg timers would cost if you added up all my failed DIY attempts. [Camarush via Crave via CrunchGear, Thanks Adrian!]

Defending champions Tim Reed and Lisa Marangon return to take on arguably the strongest professional field for the 14th Mercure Capricorn Resort IRONMAN 70.3 Yeppoon on Sunday.
Joining Reed and Marangon is a stellar cast of Kiwi racers: Gina Crawford and Adam Gordon, along with top-line Aussies Tim Berkel, Michelle Wu, Ollie Whistler and Matty White.
The favourite is likely to be Australian IRONMAN 70.3 Champion Berkel, who is well versed for any heat after racing in Samoa last weekend.
Both Reed and Berkel are outstanding runners, while White is a strong all-around triathlete.
Marangon is back after a break following her fourth place in Busselton (IRONMAN Western Australia) and second in Huskisson. She's expected to find Crawford the major obstacle. The Kiwi mother returns following a winter break, having finished runner-up to fellow New Zealander Sam Warriner in Samoa after a runner-up finish at IRONMAN Cairns.
There are 20 pro athletes entered for the battle of Capricorn who will join around 600 age groupers from all around Australia and 13 countries.
While the fight out front will be all about the professional athletes, spare a thought for 13-time finisher Adrian Ellul from Mackay. After a bike crash two weeks ago, Ellul thought he would be out of the race, but he decided yesterday he can swim well enough to make the start line. If he finishes he will be the only athlete to have completed all 14 events held in Yeppoon.
Sunday's event also serves as the Queensland Long Distance State Triathlon Championship.

A Hidden History
Scholar Walidah Imarisha to lead civil rights talk
| 7/9/2014, 9:40 a.m.
Portland is often quoted as being ''The Whitest Major City'' in America. Portland State University professor of Black Studies, Walidah Imarisha, examines this reported statistic with a more revealing question, "Why Aren't There More Black People in Oregon? A Hidden History." Her inquiry is the title of a seminar she's been taking across the nation.
Local residents are invited to hear Imarisha speak on the subject when the Oregon State Bar Civil Rights Section hosts a public commemoration for the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 on Thursday, July 10 at 7:15 p.m. at the Matt Dishman Community Center, 77 N.E. Knott St.
An authority in Oregon history relating to race, Imarisha hopes that more Oregonians will see that the small presence of blacks in the state, just 2 percent of the population, was mapped out by its founders, and the oppression and neglect of this community continues into today.
"Oregon was constructed as a white homeland, and that ideology of white supremacy has shaped every community of color – Black, Latino, Asian/Pacific Islander, Indigenous - in the state," says Imarisha.
Once inhabited heavily by indigenous tribes before the arrival of mostly white explorers and travelers, Oregon became the 33rd state of the United States of America in 1859. As reflected in many of the laws even before it became a state, Oregon at its core was to be completely void of black people.
The racism was clear; a law passed in 1844 stated that blacks were to be excluded from Oregon's borders, and if found, they would be publicly whipped every six months until they left, a penalty now more commonly referred to as "lash laws."
Imarisha says this law and others dictated what black people could and could not do, and the punishment they could face was purposely designed as a message for African Americans to stay away from the state.
Whether it be on-the-book laws outlawing interracial marriage, real estate covenants confining black people to particular parts of town, or even de-facto segregation of the state's public schooling system, Imarisha says every one of Oregon's historic institutions economically benefited the majority white population by disenfranchising black people.
For example, Imarisha points to the state's largest city, Portland, calling it a "white playground."
"The excess resources that allow Portland to be such a 'liberal livable city'—as long as you are middle class and white—are available because Oregon never intended to serve the needs of anyone but its white population," she says. "[Because of that] it is embedded in all of our institutions that shape every one of our lives, and has been reinforced and reaffirmed for centuries."
While it's vital for Oregonians to realize that there are no longer laws overtly stating what black people can do, there is now a coded racialization that targets minorities to this day, she says.
"We have been taught by media and other institutions that gang member means Black and Latino youth, just like we have been taught that undocumented means Latino, and terrorist means Arab/Middle Eastern. So while we were told laws like Measure 11 would lock up criminals, we actually see that it has a racialized impact, and that people who have committed the same crimes are treated markedly differently based on their race," says Imarisha.
Despite this intentional targeting of blacks in the state, Imarisha says the mere existence of black communities is Oregon is solely because of the people's determination, creativity, resilience, community-building, and resistance.

Beltran returns to Kansas City during free-agent tour
KANSAS CITY -- If Royals fans doubted that the Glass family would make a strong push to sign Carlos Beltran, that was put to rest on Tuesday, when the coveted free-agent outfielder was at Kauffman Stadium to meet with team officials.
Beltran acknowledged the meeting after he left late in the afternoon after a lengthy session with team president Dan Glass, general manager Dayton Moore and other team officials.
KANSAS CITY -- If Royals fans doubted that the Glass family would make a strong push to sign Carlos Beltran, that was put to rest on Tuesday, when the coveted free-agent outfielder was at Kauffman Stadium to meet with team officials.
Beltran acknowledged the meeting after he left late in the afternoon after a lengthy session with team president Dan Glass, general manager Dayton Moore and other team officials.
"I met with Dayton and ownership, and everything was good," Beltran texted.
Moore confirmed the meeting with Beltran and his representatives through team spokesman Mike Swanson, but said he'd have no further comment.
The New York Post first reported the Beltran visit, part of a tour that he's making that will include other clubs. Several teams have expressed strong interest in him, and things are heating up with the approach of the Winter Meetings, which open Monday in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
At the same time, ESPN's Buster Olney reported that an unidentified club has made a three-year, $48 million offer, but there's no indication that it was the Royals.
New York sources, however, believe the Royals are willing to go three years in an effort to out-do the Yankees in terms of contract length.
Beltran, in an interview with MLB.com last month, indicated his health -- including his previously troublesome right knee -- is good and said he felt good enough to play another 10 years. At 36, that's not likely, but he's eager to add to his credentials for possible entry into the Hall of Fame.
He's made no secret of his interest in returning to Kansas City.
"I think it would be a great story, if it happens for me to go back," he said last month.
His history with the Royals is certainly a rich one.
A second-round Draft pick out of Manati, Puerto Rico, in 1995, Beltran jumped from Class A Wilmington to Double-A Wichita to Kansas City during the 1998 season. He played 14 games in September of that year, and in 1999 was the Royals' center fielder and the American League's Rookie of the Year. He got the news while on a honeymoon cruise with his bride, Jessica.
He began the '99 season as the leadoff batter but eventually became the No. 3 hitter and finished with 108 RBIs, 22 home runs, seven triples, 27 doubles and a .293 average. He also scored 112 runs, and he was on his way, but not without a road bump.
His 2000 season started with a slow April. Things picked up, but on July 4, he went on the disabled list with a bone bruise in his right knee. Later, he showed his independence by insisting on rehabbing with the Major League club instead of at the team's Florida training facility and was suspended by then-general manager Allaird Baird for 18 days. He finally returned to the lineup on Sept. 4 and finished with a career-low .247 average.
But happy days returned in 2001, when he was voted Royals Player of the Year after leading the club with a .306 average, 106 runs, 101 RBIs and 31 stolen bases. He also had 68 extra-base hits, 24 of them homers. At age 24, he was the youngest player to win the award since George Brett in 1976.
In 2002, he played all 162 games and while his average slipped to .273, he led the Royals in virtually every other offensive category, including 29 homers, 105 RBIs and 35 stolen bases.
In 2003, Beltran missed the first 14 games because of a Spring Training oblique injury, but he recorded his fourth season with at least 100 runs and 100 RBIs. With a .307 average, he belted 26 homers and had a career-best 41 steals. Among other things, he had the Royals' first inside-the-park homer at Boston's Fenway Park.
Things were going well but time was flying by. Free agency was approaching after the 2004 season. Fearful the Royals wouldn't be able to afford Beltran, who was up to $9 million in salary, Baird decided to get what he could through a trade. On June 23, 2004, Beltran was sent to Houston in a three-team deal that netted the Royals catcher John Buck (from the Astros), third baseman Mark Teahen and pitcher Mike Wood (from the A's).
Strangely, though he was voted onto the American League All-Star team by AL players that year as a Royal, when the game came around, he played for the National League in an Astros uniform. Fittingly, the game was in Houston.
It was during the 2004 playoffs with the Astros that Beltran blazed into postseason history, hitting eight homers with 14 RBIs and 21 runs scored in the Astros' 12 games. In one stretch, he homered in five straight games. That helped him secure a rich contract with the Mets -- $119 million over seven years.
His Mets years included three straight years of triple-digit RBIs, including 116 along with a career-high 41 homers in 2006, when the team made the playoffs but lost in the NL Championship Series to the Cardinals. Knee problems hampered his 2009-10 seasons with the Mets and, recovered in 2011, he was traded at midseason to the Giants.
Then came a two-year deal with St. Louis that helped put the Cardinals into the postseason twice, including Beltran's first World Series this season. When he emerged from the loss to the Red Sox, in 51 postseason games for the Astros, Mets and Cardinals, he had 16 homers, a .333 average and a .445 on-base percentage.

'The Voice': Can the show produce a superstar?
This season of "The Voice" dismissed every possible question about its singing-competition superiority except one: Can it produce a Kelly Clarkson-size superstar?
Well, they will certainly try Monday night (at 8 on NBC/4) -- as teenage country phenom Danielle Bradbery, alterna-pop singer Michelle Chamuel and harmony-loving duo The Swon Brothers compete in "The Voice" season 4 finale.
After all, "The Voice" already has navigated what could have been a challenging season -- as new coaches Usher and Shakira replaced original coaches Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green with no drop in chemistry with Blake Shelton and Adam Levine or in ratings. It's an achievement that neither "American Idol" nor "The X Factor" can claim in their most recent seasons.
No matter what the outcome tonight, "The Voice" is already a winner, with more than 14 million viewers in April, around the same number that "Idol" had for its finale. ("The Voice" season finale is tomorrow night at 9 on NBC/4.)
But what about the contestants? Here's a look at how the Top Three stack up:
(Team Blake)
HOMETOWN Cypress, Texas
BEST MOMENT Her version of Jessica Andrews' "Who I Am" during Top 5 night showed how far she has come, delivering the sweet, age-appropriate country anthem with the power and style of a pro, even tugging at the heartstrings by singing to her folks in the audience.
STRENGTHS More than her solid, pretty voice, Danielle's greatest asset is her unflappability, showing none of the nerves that would affect most teenage singers.
WEAKNESSES Her calm demeanor sometimes comes across as a little cold.
STRATEGY She needs to stay on the same track with Coach Blake. He has done a great job managing expectations for her, as well as training her to connect with every song.
CHANCES Clear favorite
(Team Usher)
HOMETOWN Amherst, Mass.
BEST MOMENT When she tackled Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" on Top 6 night, with Tay's blessing, Chamuel showed she can be current without sacrificing any of her vocal precision or passion.
STRENGTHS The most dynamic of the remaining singers, Chamuel's voice has great power and control, useful for everything from ballads to rockers.
WEAKNESSES Her "It Gets Better" vibe is praiseworthy, but it drags after a while.
STRATEGY She (and Usher) should play up how she embodies "The Voice" ethic. Danielle will likely be a star, regardless of whether she wins the show or not, while Chamuel could really use the extra boost.
CHANCES The underdog ready to pounce if Danielle stumbles
(Team Blake)
AGE Zach, 28; Colton, 24
HOMETOWN Muskogee, Okla.
BEST MOMENT Their version of Loggins and Messina's "Danny's Song" on Top 5 night showed they can appeal to more than just hard-core country fans with their brotherly harmonies.
STRENGTHS In addition to being extraordinarily likable, the Swons have the harmonies to make any song sound unique.
WEAKNESSES At times, they get too tied up in the traditional country leanings of their coach, cutting them off from a larger audience.
STRATEGY After singing country classics more or less all season, they need to pick some more middle-of-the-road rock that suits their voices -- The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac -- to bring in the votes.
CHANCES The dark horse that may be peaking at the right time.

AP PHOTOS: John XXIII, John Paul II names saints
Pope Francis declared Popes John XXIII and John Paul II saints on Sunday in an unprecedented ceremony made even more historic by the presence of emeritus Pope Benedict XVI in St. Peter's Square.
"John XXIII and John Paul II cooperated with the Holy Spirit in renewing and updating the church in keeping with her pristine features, those features which the saints have given her throughout the centuries," Francis said.
It was Benedict who put John Paul on the fast-track for possible sainthood just weeks after he died in 2005, responding to the chants of "Santo Subito!" or "Sainthood Now!" that erupted during his funeral Mass. His canonization is now the fastest in modern times.
Francis took a deep breath and paused for a moment before reciting the saint-making formula in Latin at the start of the ceremony, as if moved by the history he was about to make in canonizing two popes at once.
Here's a gallery of images from today's canonizations.

Acute bilateral panuveitis caused by herpes-simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2)
Search Medline for
|September 22, 2004
Up to our best knowledge, until now an acute bilateral panuveitis caused by HSV-2 has never been described. Some case reports indicate that HSV-1 can be responsible for monolateral or bilateral acute retinal necrosis. The herpes simplex virus type 2 is normally sexually transmitted and may infect the meninges leading to the syndrome of viral meningitis or may even advance to a meningoencephalitis with benign course, while HSV-1 is more likely to cause meningoencephalitis with serious brain dysfunction.
Case report with clinical, histopathological and infectional diagnostic findings.
Two weeks after excision of a suprasellar epidermoid cyste and systemic steroidtherapy (dexamethasone 20mg/day) a 34-year-old woman complained about retrobulbar pain associated with reduction of visual function on both eyes. The patient suffered a sterile meningitis six years ago. (There were two travels abroad, to Thailand and Yugoslawia). The clinical examination presented bilateral iridocyclitis with posterior synechia in the left eye and massive cellular infiltration of the vitreous accompanied by multiple subretinal infiltrations of different size. There were no clinical signs of acute retinal necrosis. In the vitrectomy material we could identify HSV-2 by PCR. The cerebrospinal fluid indicated an aseptic meningitis and the presence of HSV-2 infection.(In the meantime the patient told us about a redness with some small vesicles in the inguinal region.) Immediately after the identification of HSV-2, intravenous therapy with Zovirax (1800mg/day ) and corticosteroids (100mg/day) was initiated. The panuveitis responded well to the treatment, however to date, the visual function of the eyes recovered only partially.
Acute bilateral panuveitis with chrorioretinal infiltration especially after surgery or high dose corticosteroid therapy one should consider an infection of HSV-2. A fast diagnosis is of paramount importance, because the patient is endangered by the local and systemical progression of the HSV-2 infection, which could possibily lead to a meningoencephalitis.

To call Smaltimore, the Canton bar that replaced Lager's Pub in July, "busy" on a recent Sunday afternoon would be a severe understatement.
Surrounded by almost all New York Giants fans — the rowdy type, as if there is any other kind — I took two steps forward through the main entrance and quickly realized that would be as far as I could comfortably go. It was a shoulder-to-shoulder playoff atmosphere, filled with fans rooting for a team that would later lose 38-0 to the lowly Carolina Panthers. (After the Americana in Canton closed this summer, Smaltimore became the neighborhood's new Giants bar.)
The Giants were not winners, but judging from the large, passionate crowd, the same was not to be said about Smaltimore.
Managing consultant Jason Zink, owner of Federal Hill's No Idea Tavern, was hired by Smaltimore's owners to establish the bar as a new corner hangout with a strong emphasis on customer service. (The bar's all-too-appropriate tagline is "Where everybody knows everybody and everything about them!")
But in a couple months time, initial expectations have been smashed, and Zink's bar is an overnight hit the likes Canton hasn't seen in years. The question surrounding Smaltimore was once "Will it work?" Now, there's a slight concern that it's working too well. Zink imagined a slow, organic rise to the top of Canton's bar options away from O'Donnell Square, but instead, his bar has attracted regular nightly crowds normally reserved for Claddagh's Pub and Looney's Pub. There's a slight sense of "too much, too soon" when Zink discusses his new project.
It's not difficult to see why Smaltimore has worked so far. First, it has a gimmick that no other Baltimore bars have — the Drink Exchange software system, which updates its beer prices, in real time, based on the day's sales. If a draft becomes popular at Smaltimore, the price will increase and, in turn, less-purchased draft prices will drop. On a recent Friday night, a Brewer's Art Resurrection was down 21 percent to $4.75, and the "ticker" (typically displayed on four of the 15 flatscreen TVs) informed patrons the daily high-price was $6.75 and the daily low-price was $4.50.
The Drink Exchange software is a fun draw, especially for first-timers. But it's also a novelty that can be off-putting for the same reason it's intriguing. (Staring at a screen advertising a $4.50 Stillwater Ale draft is great ... until you see a Dale's pint is up to $7.) The key, obviously, is to buy low and to remember prices are constantly fluctuating. Still, seeing a screen always flashing $6-7 drafts — even next to nicely discounted options — will make you think Smaltimore is expensive for a corner sports bar. Here's one suggestion that could help: Make National Bohemian the exception, and sell it at a flat, low rate. (Is there a quicker way to turn off a Baltimore drinker than to sell a Boh for $4?)
More so than its pricing system, Smaltimore should be commended for its smartly crafted beer selection. There are 36 taps, and every Maryland brewery is represented. Bars yet to open should pay attention.
The true appeal of Smaltimore is not the fancy pricing system, but rather the core elements of any good bar: service and design. Bartenders know many customers by name, and make it a point to frequently check on parties to see if they want anything. Zink said the unexpected crowds have made this more difficult, but on my many visits since Smaltimore opened, its staff has been consistently cordial and accommodating.
Even better is the layout. Smaltimore's left wall has two large sets of French doors that stay open until 9 p.m. On a warm day, it can be the ideal place in Canton to enjoy a craft beer.
Smaltimore isn't without problems. The most obvious and pressing is how loud it is, inside and outside, of the bar. A friend who lives across the street said the noise can get overwhelming at night, even with closed French doors, and Zink said neighbors have complained about the noise. (In those cases, Smaltimore has closed its doors and windows. "We want to be neighborly and the neighbors come first," Zink said.) He said the problem isn't just the bar's "openness" but also the hardwood floors and the brick walls. Zink called it a "problem that needs to be resolved," and he's hoping that adding speakers to the wall away from the TVs will help balance the sound and control the volume. (He acknowledges that adding speakers sounds counterintuitive, but Zink is confident it will quiet things down.)
Too loud, too busy, too many beer options — these are problems new bars would love to face, and Zink certainly isn't complaining. Smaltimore may have been envisioned as a low-key neighborhood bar, but Canton's thirst for the new has turned it into something more busy and thrilling. If it can somehow strike a balance between the two extremes, Smaltimore will make a strong case as Canton's best new bar.
But even if it can't, there's little reason to bet against it. Smaltimore simply does too much right to fail.
Back story: Formerly Lager's Pub, Smaltimore quietly opened in Canton in mid-July, and held its official grand opening on Aug. 15. Since then, it has seen steady crowds coming in for local beer, cheeseburgers and strong service. Managing consultant Jason Zink said sushi will be offered in the near future, which he hopes will attract more diners.
Parking: Free on the street
Signature drink: This is a place for beer and wine drinkers. On a recent visit, a pint of Saranac Pumpkin Ale was less than $5, thanks to the Drink Exchange format.
Where: 2522 Fait Ave., Canton

That sound drowning out the applause for this year�s Emmy nominees announced Thursday morning is the grinding of teeth over worthy shows and stars Emmy ignored.
For instance, Jeff Probst already has four Emmys for hosting CBS� �Survivor.� But did he deserve to get voted off the Emmy island when this year�s nominations were handed out?
What about �The Killing�? Viewers were disgruntled by the mystery underlying this AMC drama, but you didn�t have to care who killed Rosie Larsen to realize that co-stars Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman gave two of the year�s best performances.
Sure, Fox�s �American Idol� has slipped in the ratings, and two of its judges are jumping ship. But does that explain why this TV juggernaut has been snubbed for a nomination as best reality-competition program � for the first time ever?
Meanwhile, Fox�s �House,� which recently ended its eight-year run, goes empty-handed into Emmy annals deprived of one last chance for a best drama trophy, or a best actor nod for its star, Hugh Laurie.
Other lame-duck series are getting a similar Emmy cold shoulder.
FX�s firefighter drama �Rescue Me� has now concluded its seven-year run with routine Emmy neglect for this outstanding series and its gifted star-writer-producer.
And ABC�s much-honored �Desperate Housewives� will be remembered in its eighth and last season only with a nomination for the late Kathryn Joosten in the category of supporting actress in a comedy.
FX scored big with its splendid comedy �Louie� and its creepy �American Horror Story.� But why not some Emmy love for �Sons of Anarchy,� the network�s riotous motorcycle-gang drama that boasts a gang of wonderful actors, including 2011 Golden Globe winner Katey Sagal?
Emmy continues to shrink from vampire and zombies. Again this year, both wildly popular �True Blood� on HBO and �The Walking Dead� on AMC were shut out of major drama awards.
HBO�s mystical comedy-drama �Enlightened� was spurned, as was its co-creator and star, Laura Dern, whose Golden Globe-winning performance as its scrambled heroine is among the best of her career.
And while all six regulars on �Modern Family� snagged nominations, a fellow ABC comedy, �Happy Endings,� went unnoticed by Emmy, as did its six excellent co-stars.
Not one, but two freshman drama series on the Starz network were overlooked: �Boss,� starring Kelsey Grammer as the tyrannical mayor of Chicago, and �Magic City,� set in the sordid glamour of 1960s Miami Beach. But both series will be courting Emmy with second seasons.
With the broadcast networks continuing to cede Emmy glory to cable, Emmy seemed suitably unimpressed with last season�s new crop of broadcast shows.
Only nine freshman series on the five broadcast networks got so much as a lone minor nomination, and only one, Fox�s comedy �New Girl,� scored a major acting nod. In fact, it got two of them: for lead actress Zooey Deschanel and supporting actor Max Greenfield.
But what about two other breakout hits from last season: CBS� sitcom �2 Broke Girls� and ABC�s fairy-tale drama �Once Upon a Time�?
Couldn�t Emmy have made room for at least one of the funny �Broke� co-stars, Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs? And why was Emmy blind to the spell cast by any of the �Once Upon a Time� ensemble?
When it comes to Emmys, AMC�s �Mad Men� has nothing to complain about. The advertising drama continues its reign this year by picking up a leading 17 Emmy nominations. But, oddly, none of those was for costumes. Even though the series has never won in this category, it has landed a best costume nomination every year since �Mad Men� began. Why none this year? Viewers who savor the characters� eye-popping �60s sartorial style have to be wondering.
If Emmy�s annual bumper crop for �Mad Men� has become ritual, another of this year�s big scorers is, by contrast, a big surprise. �Hatfields & McCoys,� a three-night miniseries that aired at the end of May, made history on � fittingly � History channel by averaging 13.8 million viewers as the most-watched miniseries ever on cable.
Following on that ratings triumph, the program (recounting the famous interfamily feud) collected 16 nominations. Nothing to argue about there: This is the sort of out-of-nowhere surprise that Emmy watchers thrive on.

ACT men living longer
According to figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) today, males in the ACT have the longest life expectancy of all States and Territories (77.5 years) while female life expectancy (81.6 years) is only marginally below the longest life expectancy of Western Australia (81.9 years) in 1996-98.
Although the national median population age (35 years) was higher than the ACT, the population is ageing, with a median age in 1998 of 32 years (compared to 29 years in 1988). The population of the ACT at December 1998 was 308,400. It grew by 1,150 people over the calendar year despite a net loss of 2,000 residents to other States and Territories.
For the sixth consecutive year ACT women had the lowest fertility rate of all States and Territories at 1.56 babies per woman. This is below the national level of 1.76 babies and below the average 2.1 babies needed per woman for population replacement.
Women in the ACT are having their babies later than women Australia-wide, with fertility rates peaking in the 30-34 years age group, compared to 25-29 years nationally.
The major causes of death in the ACT in 1998 were malignant neoplasms (30% of all deaths) and ischaemic heart disease (17% of all deaths).
For the first time in the ACT 1998 saw more marriages performed by civil celebrants (866) than by ministers of religion (826). Australia-wide, 49.5% of marriages were performed by civil celebrants, while 50.5% were performed by ministers of religion. The median age at marriage continues to increase, being 29.8 years for grooms and 27.6 years for brides in 1998.
In the ACT, 72% of marriages involved parties who indicated the same usual address before marriage compared to 67% of marriages Australia-wide.
The median duration from marriage to divorce was 12.1 years in the ACT compared to 11.2 years Australia-wide. Around 5% of couples who divorced in the ACT in 1998 had separated within the first year of marriage. However most separations (28%) occurred within one to four years of marriage. Wives remained the main applicants for divorce in the ACT, however, joint applications have become more common in the last decade, increasing from 13% to 22%.

A 40-year-old Steger woman who allegedly drove over her child in Crete Wednesday evening was booked into the Will County Adult Detention Facility today on two counts of aggravated DUI.
Yvette Y. Guerrero-Silva of the 400 block of Richton Road is charged with aggravated DUI leading to the death of another - a Class 2 felony - and aggravated DUI causing injury to another - a Class 4 felony. Bond was set at $1 million, police said.
Crete police said Guerrero-Silva was backing out of the driveway of a family business on the 1100 block of Main Street around 7:10 p.m. Wednesday when the vehicle rolled over Holly Silva, causing massive head injuries to the 19-month-old, who had been playing in the immediate area.
Responding paramedics transported Holly to St. James Hospital and Health Centers in Chicago Heights, where she was pronounced dead at 7:41 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
An autopsy Thursday determined she died of multiple injuries, and her death was ruled an accident.
Paoletti, in a prepared statement, said Guerrero-Silva admitted at the scene to consuming several alcoholic beverages just prior to the accident. Initial results of a blood test at St. James Hospital indicated her blood-alcohol content exceeded the state maximum for driving, he said.
Paoletti said additional charges were expected, pending results of toxicology tests.
If convicted of the death-related charge, Guerrero-Silva could be sentenced to up to seven years in prison. The injury-only charge carries a sentencing range of up to three years in prison.
