A Florence man trying to board an airplane in Eugene earlier this month with a number of bear paws in his luggage and a bottle containing bear gall, herbs and whiskey has been cited for unlawful possession of game parts.
More citations may be pending after a search warrant was issued for a barn on Highway 126 and the man�s home on Eighth Street, and police discovered bear heads and bear hides, according to the search warrant. Bear hunting requires a hunting tag, according to state law, something the man, Hong-Shiou Chiou, could not provide at the time of the incident.
Chiou, who was trying to fly to Taiwan, told detectives he was taking the bear paws � in plastic grocery bags � overseas to be made into a necklace for his housekeeper.
The whiskey drink, he said, was medicinal and helped him sleep.
Transportation Security Administration agents discovered the items on March 3 at the Eugene Airport before Chiou boarded the airplane. TSA called Oregon State Police, who came to the airport and spoke with Chiou. Chiou told detectives he did not know where he got the paws, or whether or not they were his, according to the search warrant.
Chiou told investigators he is a hunter and stores bear meat and other parts in a freezer at his barn, but also receives bear parts from other people, whom he did not name.
While Oregon State Police detectives were talking to Chiou, the TSA agent who had found the paws came back with more of Chiou�s luggage that contained more bear paws.
Chiou had allegedly given the bottle with the whiskey mixture to an Enterprise rental car employee at the airport before police arrived, the search warrant states. Police said the bottle was later given to police.
During the investigation at the airport, Chiou offered to show detectives his barn, according to the search warrant, and signed a consent form for troopers to search the freezer. Detectives discovered bear heads in bags and bear hides, authoririties said.
A trooper told investigators he had been investigating Chiou for the possible unlawful sale of bear parts. It is illegal to kill bears without a tag or license in Oregon.
According to a study published in 2008 for the Animal Legal and Historical Center of Michigan State University, bear bile is a prized ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine and there is a substantial illegal international trade of bear parts.
The bile, excreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, is said to cure fever, gallstones, liver problems, heart disease and eye irritation, according to the report. It sells for $410 per kilo in China and a whole gallbladder sells for $10,000 in South Korea, according to the report.
Bear paws are also considered a delicacy, the report states. According to the organization Big Wildlife, one serving of bear paw soup can fetch $1,400 in China.
Additional charges against Chiou could include unlawful take of wildlife and unlawful possession of game mammal parts without being properly tagged or without written transfer records.
Chiou was not taken into custody, according to the search warrant.

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) recently issued a press release about their plans to remove potentially unsafe trees from roadsides across the state. At this time, Caltrans is identifying and marking dead and dying trees that could impact safety for motorists on various state highways. There are an estimated 102 million dead trees that have died due to drought and bark beetle since 2010. Caltrans workers are traveling the roadsides and marking trees that are dead or dying in areas that would make a fallen tree hazardous to public safety.
Identifying Dangerous Trees
Where private property is concerned, they're mailing out "permission to enter" forms to citizens who have dead or dying trees close to busy roadways. Tree removal will be provided at no cost to the property owners since it's a public safety issue. The trees that could potentially create hazardous situations for roadway users need to be removed to ensure safe roadways. Sadly, the impact to trees by the drought and bark beetle has already been declared a State of Emergency in California. In addition to Caltrans, many other public safety agencies are taking part in the project to ensure these hazards are removed before they fall and create dangerous situations for the general public.
Tree Removal to Improve Roadway Safety
Currently, the Tree Mortality Task Force has removed or felled more than 640,000 dead trees in high-hazard areas. Caltrans has already removed 107,000 potentially dangerous trees near California highways. They expect to remove another 54,000 by next summer. Some of the most impacted counties are Amador, Calaveras, El Dorado, Fresno, Kern, Madera, Mariposa, Placer, Tulare, and Tuolumne.
Roadway Hazards and Car Accidents in San Diego
Ensuring roadways are free and clear of all hazards is an important part of highway safety. The last thing anybody needs is to navigate around a fallen tree or branches and other debris. Hopefully, this ongoing project will help to remove potentially dangerous hazards before they become a problem on California roadways.
If you have been injured or if you have lost a loved one in a car accident involving a roadway hazard or fallen tree in or around California, contact the skilled and proven team at Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, Inc. at 1.800.GO.HARRIS for a free case consultation today.

If you're willing to buy a brand new phone for the same price as some second hand cars, today is your lucky day. That's because the iPhone X pre-orders go live today, ahead of the first release wave in a week's time.
Pre-orders haven't been open for very long, but there's already a waiting list. The Apple Store says pre-ordering will come with a 4-5 week wait, so it's not very likely that you'll be getting it on launch days. Even though there's a wait, pre-ordering might be beneficial if you want the phone as soon as possible, given the reports of numerous manufacturing delays related to the FaceID system that waiting period might be around for a while.
Obviously the main place to buy the phone is Apple's own store. That's available SIM free, or you can buy it on contract that spreads the cost over 24 months (prices start at £48 a month).
Carphone Warehouse also stocks the phone, with contracts available from EE, Vodafone, iD, and O2. Contracts are available for as little as £20 a month with Vodafone (12 months with 20GB of data, unlimited minutes and texts), but those come with an up-front cost of £964. The cheapest deal with an upfront cost under £100 is £71 on O2, with £80 up front, 20GB of data, plus unlimited minutes and texts.
EE's cheapest plan is £68 a month, with £200 up front, which comes with 15GB of data, unlimited minutes and texts, 24 months of BT Sport, and up to 60MBps speeds. The cheapest up front cost is £10, but that comes on an £83 a month contract with 100GB of data, unlimited minutes and texts, up to 60MBps speeds, 24 months of BT sport, an annual upgrade option, and a free pair of BeatsX headphones.
O2's cheapest monthly plan is £58 a month with £190 up front. That comes with 1GB of data, unlimited minuted and texts, and free O2 Wi-Fi. The cheapest up front cost is £30, with the cheapest monthly cost £7 a month with 20GB of data and unlimited minutes and texts. All the tariffs seem to come with all the usual priority perks (like early ticket bookings and perks at O2 events), and Flex data which lets you change your tariff once a month. So far the iPhone X does not seem to be included in O2's free screen repair service.
Vodafone's cheapest plan is £56 a month, with a £300 up front charge. That gets you unlimited minutes and texts, 1GB of data, and a three month trial of secure net. The cheapest up front cost is £80, on an £80 a month contract that comes with 70GB of data, unlimited calls and texts, plus a free two year subscription to Spotify, Now TV, or Sky Sports' mobile app.
Three's cheapest plan is £61 a month with £250 up front. That includes 4GB of data plus unlimited calls and texts. The lowest up front cost is zero, but that will cost you £114 a month in the process (with unlimited everything). The next cheapest is £79 up front, for £68 a month with 4GB of data and unlimited calls and texts. All these come with Go Binge, which lets you use services like Netflix, Deezer, and Apple Music without using up your data allowance.
Sky Mobile's deals are a little bit deceptive, with the network claiming that all plans start at £37 a month with zero up front cost. But you're not going to get an iPhone X that cheap, since you have to pay to add data (500MB, 1GB, 5GB, and 10GB available for £5, £10, £15, and £20 a month respectively). Unlimited calls and texts also cost £10 a month, unless you're a Sky TV customer - in which case they're free.
So the cheapest deal is actually £57 a month (with 500MB of data) on a 24 month contract. If you want to be able to upgrade after a year on Swap 12, that price increases to £64 a month with £99 up front. Both are assuming you don't have Sky TV. Knock off £10 if you do, and are willing to swap networks.

I love this book. It's great. I'm also happy there is not a single romance in the story Thank-you Orson Scott Card! (though there was some random nudity..) Seriously though, read this book. It makes you think, has lots of intertextuality and like Animal Farm was an allegory for a real event, I think comparisons could be made with Ender's Game as well. Oh, and did I mention the awesome battles in zero gravity?
It won the Nebula Award for best novel in 1985, and the Hugo Award for best novel in 1986 - which are the two most prestigious sci-fi awards.It also won the Margaret A. Edwards Award in 2008 which honours an author for lifetime contribution to young adult literature. The U.S Marine Corps even have the book as recommended reading for their officers!
There is a video game, comics, a subsequent series and a shadow series. A movie is also in the works and the screenplay is actually written by the author. They are still casting, but I found a great fan-made trailer:
Clare has already read and reviewed this, so check out her summary.

|JSPReader/JSPGenerator on Websphere
|Tue, 21 Jun 2005 18:40:47 GMT
Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem I'm having running JSPs through Cocoon on Websphere, although from what I've found in the archives it seems like there's more problems than solutions so far as Websphere's concerned :-) I've built a web application based around Cocoon 2.1.7 and deployed it to Websphere 5.0 (more accurately, 184.108.40.206 cf30403.04) on Solaris, which sits behind an iPlanet 6.1 server. The app starts up okay and I can view the output from the StatusGenerator without any problem. In fact, I can view a whole bunch of pages, made up from assorted XML files, cincludes, XSL, etc. The only problem I have is that when it tries to cinclude the output from a JSP (the cinclude has src="cocoon:/..." and I've a pipeline matching that which uses the JSP generator and serialises to XML) I get absolutely nothing returned to the browser. Not even the part of the page prior to the include. Unfortunately, I don't get any error messages in any of the log files either - Websphere's System.out & System.err logs, nor Cocoon's sitemap/errors/core/handled-errors.log etc., and I'm receiving a 200 OK HTTP status code - so I've no idea what's going wrong. I've tried fiddling with various settings, but no luck. I tried switching the jsp-engine to use the JSPEngineImplNamedDispatcherInclude but got the error message "No RequestDispatcher found. Specify a correct 'servlet-name': *.jsp" that's been mentioned in earlier postings, so put it back to using the JSPEngineImpl with com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.jsp.servlet.JspServlet as the servlet-class. I tried using "/*" in the servlet mapping but just get "Error 403: Invalid URI passed to Security Collaborator." from every request, so switched back to using "/". I tried removing the servlet mapping for "*.jsp"; that allowed me to call the JSP directly (and see it's output okay) but as soon as Cocoon tries to do it I get no page returned. I tried switching the cinclude to use context:/ instead of cocoon:/ but just got an error message telling me "the content prior to the root element must be well formed". I'm currently using the ParanoidCocoonServlet, but can't avoid that as otherwise the CocoonServlet attempts to use the older versions of Xerces & Xalan from Websphere's appserver/lib directory and refuses to start (I have very little control over the server configuration and am stuck with the PARENT_FIRST classloader mode for the application as it doesn't appear to be possible to set that through the XMI files in the war/ear). The most frustrating thing is that when I deploy to an NT box running the same versions of Websphere & iPlanet, it works perfectly! Unfortunately, our production servers are all Solaris :-( Any other suggestions or ideas, before I tear the rest of my hair out? Andrew. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

A Head-to-Toe Guide to Aging
What is considered normal aging and when to seek care
As you age, you may experience a variety of changes with your body, many may be a "normal" part of the aging process, while others may indicate a more serious health issue. In most cases, there are ways to minimize the impact certain conditions or their symptoms have on your life and activity level. Some of our specialists share what's considered normal and when you may want to seek medical care.
Your Head-to-Toe Guide to Aging:
Memory Loss (Head)
You may experience lapses in memory and forgetfulness. Treat your brain as you would a muscle, and engage in habits that exercise your brain like puzzles, reading and learning something new.
Eating a balanced diet with brain-boosting, antioxidant-rich foods like nuts and blueberries, and minimizing stress can also help keep your memory sharp.
If your memory loss worsens, impacts your ability to perform daily activities or your judgment, your doctor may recommend you meet with a neurologist to determine if you are experiencing a more serious memory-related condition like dementia.
Hearing Loss (Ears)
Age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) is common in older adults, affecting nearly one in three people between the ages of 65 and 74. It is often gradual and affects both ears and may be accompanied by ringing in the ears.
Hearing loss may be cause by a variety of reasons including high blood pressure or diabetes, long-term exposure to loud noises and certain medications.
As hearing loss worsens it may become hard to talk with family and friends, which can lead to feelings of isolation.
Untreated hearing loss is associated with cognitive decline and dementia, so it's important to seek medical care. An audiologist can help you select a treatment that best fits your needs which may include hearing aids, implants and other assistive listening devices.
Fracture Risks (Bone Health)
To keep our bones healthy and strong, our bodies naturally replace old bone with new bone until about age 30. At that time, bone removal starts to out pace new formation, which leads to loss of bone structure over time.
This can pose bone density risks as we get older, such as fracture and osteoporosis. Eating foods rich with vitamins and minerals, exercising daily and quitting smoking can all help you maintain bone density health.
Talk to your doctor about your individual risk for fracture, need for bone density testing and to see if you qualify to be evaluated at our Fracture Liaison Service.
Chronic Constipation (Stomach and Digestive Tract)
Nearly 25 percent of adults over the age of 60 reported experiencing frequent constipation, and nearly one-third have occasional constipation. If you develop constipation you may experience straining, lumpy or hard stools, a sensation of incomplete evacuation or a decrease in stool frequency.
Constipation becomes more common with age due to weakening digestive muscles, physical inactivity, other chronic health conditions and increased medication use. Simple lifestyle modifications, including increased fluid and fiber intake, may help prevent chronic constipation.
If the problem persists for more than three weeks, or occurs more frequently, and lifestyle or dietary modifications and over-the-counter medications aren't helping, a gastroenterologist will develop a treatment plan which may include medications to manage your symptoms.
Frequent Night-time Urination (Bladder)
About one in three adults over the age of 30 experience nocturia, an increased urge to urinate throughout the night. Your likelihood of developing nocturia increases with age.
Nocturia can be caused by a variety of reasons including increased fluid intake, an overactive bladder or more serious issues like uncontrolled diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, congestive heart failure, fluid retention or a bladder obstruction. Nocturia also can be disruptive to your sleep cycle and have a negative impact on your overall quality of life.
Simple lifestyle adjustments like reducing fluid intake in the evening, especially caffeinated beverages and alcohol, and elevating your legs in the evening may help.
If you are waking up more than once each night to go to the bathroom, a urologist can help you to determine the cause, and prescribe medications to help your body regulate urine production and bladder emptying.
Body Aches (Joints)
Body pains often become more frequent with age, and may be difficult to determine if it's caused by muscle pain or arthritis. Body aches are temporary muscle pain that you may experience anywhere on your body, often after an injury, fall or an illness like the flu. Arthritis pain occurs in your joints as the protective cartilage in your body wears down over time. Arthritis pain is chronic and you may experience flair ups often, especially after periods of inactivity or fluctuating weather.
You can reduce your arthritis risk by eating foods rich in omega-3, incorporating regular exercise into your routine and maintaining a healthy weight.
If you suspect you have arthritis, seek prompt medical care. A rheumatologist can diagnose arthritis and help establish a treatment plan to minimize your symptoms and reduce your risk of joint damage.
These are just a few of the many age-related changes you may experience. It is important to discuss any changes you experience with your primary care physician. Your physician can help determine what is normal for you and provide referrals for certain age-related symptoms and conditions. Our primary care physicians and specialists work together to provide you with comprehensive care to keep you healthy and active throughout adulthood.

I have been enjoying my online time with friends via Twitter and Facebook. There is much to be gleaned from the postings, be it links to websites, blogs, music and film trailers. In recent weeks, the amount of humour has also increased and there is certainly room for laughter at every moment.
I also identified leaders within our midst. They have started discussions; focused on safety, care for the environment, fair play and values. If you are willing, you can begin reading and make the connection. Sometimes you agree; other times, you disagree. Sometimes, you just enjoy the arguments and proposals. We have choices. Make good decisions to write, make better decisions to post. Sometimes it would be better to read and lurk, than post and regret.
New media (or Social Media 2.0) can be a powerful tool to educate, eradicate and entertain. However, like a double-edge sword this electronic pen can be mightier than the digital sword. Be upset, and you can upset others with a few deft strokes on your keyboard. Nothing is sacred for discussion. Dirty laundry gets aired, and gets dirtier on a colossal scale; digital imprints are left over this universe of information and infamy.
Think before you hit the 'return' key. Make sure you check before you post for inappropriate content and tone. Ensure there is a delete function so that you can make corrections rapidly. Be a responsible Netizen. With great bandwidth (and applications) comes greater responsibility.
Expand your consciousness of thinking and connecting, not your notoriety.

Look, up in the sky, in Times Square — it's the city's stop-question-and-frisk numbers.
The Center for Constitutional Rights, which keeps an eye on the police tactic of stopping people in the street to question — and, roughly half the time, to frisk — is running a 15-second advertisement showing stop-question-and-frisk numbers scrolling across a giant digital screen, on West 42nd Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues.
A giant spinning wheel shows how many stops occurred for the calendar year 2009. It is accompanied by a red stop sign.
"It's the previous year's total," said Jen Nessel, a spokeswoman for organization. "This is so millions of people will see it in Times Square and raise attention on the issue. New Yorkers, visitors, police officers will see it."
The ad will run once every hour through the end of March, Ms. Nessel said.
The organization sued the New York Police Department in federal court in January 2008, for what it says is a widespread pattern of unprovoked and unnecessary stops and racial profiling in the department's street stop policy. The department denies the charges; the suit is pending.
The precise number of stops can be difficult to pin down. On Tuesday, police officials said they had made 600,601 street stops in 2010, but numbers released by the City Council put the tally at 601,055.
Some analysts were yearning to get to the bottom of the discrepancy. As it turned out, each side deferred to the other. A City Council official conceded that its numbers "are preliminary and sometimes are a little off." Paul J. Browne, the Police Department's chief spokesman, was firm when asked which number was accurate: 601,055.
By way of explaining the numbers, Mr. Browne said: "In compiling the annual figure, we used a statistical chart that had been prepared a number of days before the quarterly report to the Council was submitted for the first quarter. The chart that we used in compiling the total indicated 149,299 stops for the first quarter. The updated report submitted to the Council days later indicated the higher number of 149,753 — a difference of 454. In using the number from the statistical chart that was some days older than the quarterly report, the total was misstated by 455, or by 0.07 percent of the 601,055 total for the year. In either case, the total rounds to 601,000. As with virtually all police data based on daily activity that takes time to be recorded centrally, totals are a moving target, changing depending on when the snapshot was taken and then recorded. "
Either way, the tally broke the 600,000 mark for the first time since the department began recording it, in 2002. (It may have been higher higher in the late 1980s, when crime was higher.)
Peter F. Vallone Jr., the chairman of the City Council's Public Safety Committee, said he was "constantly amazed" that the police force was able to keep up with the workload of so many stops.
"It is tough to do this many stop and frisks when they are losing so many police officers," he said.
Mr. Browne, who said he believed there were more stop-question-and-frisk encounters in the late 1980s and early 1990s, also made a point about crime so far in 2011.
He said that through Feb. 23, there had been 51 homicides recorded in the city, compared with 68 homicides recorded through the same period a year earlier — a reduction of 25 percent. And of the 51 killings logged this year, he pointed out, eight stem from episodes that occurred before 2011 and fall into a category known in police parlance as "reclassified" cases.
Those eight cases, Mr. Browne said, are "reclassifications, to homicide, for individuals who died this year but whose initial injuries were sustained in previous years — some decades ago."
He added: "When you strip out the reclassified cases, there have been 43 murders so far this year compared to 68 for the same period last year, a decline of 34 percent."
Mr. Vallone said that stop-question-and-frisk would continue to be a crime-fighting tool going forward. He said that police officials believe, "as I do, that as the police force dwindles they are going to have to work harder to keep crime down and this is the best tool they have to get guns off the streets, before the gun is actually used to commit a crime."
"You can wait until the drive-by happens, and the child is killed by a stray bullet, and then track down the gun, or you can prevent that from happening with good police work and instincts," Mr. Vallone said.
Holder to Visit 1 Police Plaza
In honor of Black History Month, several fraternal organizations of the New York Police Department have invited the country's highest law enforcement official, Eric H. Holder Jr., the United States attorney general, to be the speaker at their annual event Thursday evening at 1 Police Plaza.
"They invited him, and he accepted," Mr. Browne said.
He said the groups that invited Mr. Holder were the NYPD Guardians, a black fraternal organization, and NYPD Noble, a group of black police executives, as well as a fraternal group of Haitian-American officers.
Mr. Holder is scheduled to speak at Police Headquarters, in Lower Manhattan, around 6 p.m., officials said.
According to a media advisory from the Police Department: "United States Attorney General Eric Holder, Jr. addresses members of the New York City Police Department at the NYPD's annual Black Heritage Celebration, today Feb. 24, 2011, 6 p.m., One Police Plaza main auditorium. Police Commissioner Kelly will attend."

The snorkeling sites of Isla Verde is one of the best I have seen so far even comparable to Coron at very minimal expense. I was able to experience/see coral formations which are still very pristine and untouched and better yet with the experienced guidance of our tour guide, kuya Diet, I was fortunate enough to see lobsters, baraccuda, and sea turtle. How cool is it!
The kubo accommodation that we got was good for 4 pax. 2 bunk beds with our own sala. It is very charming and cozy.
The best of asset of this reason is their people. All are very nice, that makes the experience a whole lot better.
If you will ask me if i will come back, my answer would be a resounding " HELL YEAH "and next time, I'll bring my bestie along so he can can experience this as well.
For the food they would tell you to bring your own, but I wouls suggest that let them cook for you. The price is very reasonable and Ate Jo and Jaja can even make the experience better by preparing a romantic candlelight dinner for you. A hint for incoming guests, you can ask for Miso soup, it is authentic as you can get locally.
We came here as turista looking for a new place to experience, but we came out with new friends and whole lot envigorated ready to face the world of work again.
This may sound cheesy but I tell you must go to this place/ resort and you will understand.

Truth is defined differently inside the Beltway — especially in the hands of the government.
The FBI rarely record interviews, preferring instead to rely on written summaries known as 302s, which are widely help up in court as credible evidence of conversations even though defense attorneys routinely debunk their accuracy and credibility. So no matter how honest and factual you may be during FBI questioning, you could still face legal peril if your statement fails to harmonize with the FBI – "trust me on what I heard" – memos.
Federal agents have the right to lie to you without consequences yet, they will gladly put you in prison if you lie to them, unless of course you are a member of left-wing ruling elite. Making a false utterance of nothing more than a simple yes or no could land you in prison for 5 years and fined up to $250,000.
The federal false-statements law conveys so much power that, according to Solicitor General Seth Waxman, it could allow federal agents to "escalate completely innocent conduct into a felony." One federal judge actually condemned the law for encouraging "inquisition as a method of criminal investigation."
Though other federal agencies cannot play the FBI's game with 302 forms and the false-statements law, they have plenty of options for editing the public record. Inside the Beltway, "plausible deniability," a phrase first publicly used by CIA chief Allen Dulles in the 1950s, is "close enough in government work" to truth.
The FOIA law enacted in 1966 to make government accountable to the public is now being used and abused daily to hide evidence of misconduct. Another way the truth is hidden is through the 50 million plus decisions to classify information each year. The more the government can classify and withhold, the easier it is to manipulate public opinion with whatever real, altered or imagined facts they are willing to release. By selectively disclosing only details that support the administration's policies, government prevents citizens from fairly assessing the latest power grabs or interventions.
The more power government seizes, the easier it is to suppress the truth. The Justice Department can totally suppress embarrassing facts on the most contentious issues by invoking the "state secrets" doctrine.
The George W. Bush administration routinely invoked state secrets to seek "blanket dismissal of every case challenging the constitutionality of specific, ongoing government programs," according to a study by the Constitution Project. A federal appeals court slammed the Obama administration's use of state secrets for claiming the judiciary should cordon off all secret government actions from judicial scrutiny, for immunizing the CIA and its partners from the demands and the limits of the law. Let's face it; government's sway over damning information is boundless at least until some whistleblower such as Edward Snowden obliterates their credibility.
Unfortunately, Americans have no legal way to commandeer government files until long after most power grabs are consummated. Pervasive secrecy ensures that Americans are deceived far more than they realize.
Politicians get away with lies in part because Americans are taught that anyone who disbelieves the government must be crazy — the same view the KGB took of Soviet dissidents in the 1970s. And these self-serving lies are compounded by kowtowing so-called experts and the drive-by media. In Washington, power is the highest truth. Credibility depends on titles, not veracity. Blind deference to authority might be expected from semi-literate peasants in some mountain hollow but, it is more of a problem coming from the academic elite and establishment heavyweights.
Washington's hypocrisy on lying shined brightly when Congress passed the Stolen Valor Act of 2006, which made it a federal crime to falsely claim to have received a U.S. military award. The Bush administration made hundreds of false claims regarding Iraq to justify its 2003 invasion; Obama lied through his teeth to support the Arab Spring and finance and arm possible terrorists; and, Hillary lied pretty much about everything that happened when she was Secretary of State and again running for president. But the Justice Department sees no problem with that duplicity. As a side note – the Supreme Court struck down the Stolen Valor Act in 2012 as a violation of freedom of speech.
Lies subvert our Republic by crippling the ability to rein in government. We are left clueless until it is too late for the nation to pull back. Political lies are far more dangerous than most recognize. Big government requires Big Lies — and not just about wars but across the board. The more powerful centralized administration becomes the more abuses it commits and the more lies it must tell. The government becomes addicted to the growth of its own revenue and power — and this growth cannot be maintained without denying or suppressing the adverse effects of Leviathan's growth.
Ironically, despite the government's long record of deceits, distrust of government is often portrayed as more dangerous than government power itself. Private doubts are supposedly a greater threat to America than official lies. Trust in government becomes mass Prozac, keeping people docile and compliant.

America's first bestsellers were collections of Puritan sermons written in 50 shades of grey.
My lawd, how times have changed! But Christian publishing is still a significant section of the book industry, even if it attracts somewhat less attention nowadays than the latest dystopian novels for teens.
Earlier this week, the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association announced the finalists for its annual Christian Book Awards in seven categories. The faithless need not apply. To be eligible, a book must include "explicit Christian content and an overtly Christian message." But more than that, "the Christian content in each entry must be evangelical," and nothing in the book can contradict the organization's belief in the Trinity, the infallibility of the Bible, the Virgin Birth, the Atonement, the Resurrection, heaven, and the eternal damnation of sinners.
I know of no other literary contest that sets down such explicit and detailed content qualifications. But perhaps that's to be expected. After all, the National Book Award judges are just trying to save literature, not their immortal souls.
Here are the finalists for this year's Christian Book Award in fiction:
• "Burning Sky," by Lori Benton (WaterBrook Multnomah). A romance about a woman captured by Native Americans.
• "Dark Justice," by Brandilyn Collins (B&H). A thriller about terrorists who target America's electrical grid.
• "Iscariot: A Novel of Judas," by Tosca Lee (Howard). A historical novel about Judas, from his childhood to his role as the man known for betraying Jesus.
• "The Prayer Box," by Lisa Wingate (Tyndale). When an elderly landlord dies, one of her tenants discovers a series of prayer boxes that tell the story of a long, complex life.
• "Wings of Glass," by Gina Holmes (Tyndale). The story of a young woman in a small town who falls in love with a handsome farmhand who begins abusing her as soon as they get married.
This contest gives feature editors another chance to consider how they're covering this section of the market. The Christian book industry is estimated at $1.4 billion a year, and yet its books remain mostly invisible to mainstream newspapers and magazines. Marcia Z. Nelson, a religion editor for Publishers Weekly, says many of these novels are better than literary snobs might assume. "At its best, it's good commercial fiction. It's certainly not as formulaic as it used to be; the explicit come-to-Jesus resolutions are few. The best of it is thoughtful and develops engaging characters, believable dialog and plotting that reels you in," Nelson said.
Karen Watson, associate publisher of fiction at Tyndale — best known for the miraculously bestselling "Left Behind" series — laments that the "old snapshot for this category is fairly unyielding." She suggests that people who scoff at Christian fiction probably haven't read it lately. "Critics say that it is full of poorly written, simplistic stories with little literary quality. But that is an old snapshot. The quality is there for readers who are looking for an inspirational read," Watson said.
Nelson notes that PW has started referring to these novels as "inspirational" rather than "Christian." "Think Mitch Albom, with a little more God sauce," she says. "It's a genre characterized by stories intended to edify and uplift, like Oprah's Book Club titles, but with a few more rules, including no swearing and no sex before marriage. They are clean reads for those who really don't want to get inside the mind of a serial killer or don't expect that fictive romantic relationships require explicit sex."
Jennifer Smith, director of publicity at Howard Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, says that the Christian novels that her house publishes are just like other works of fiction. They try to tell "amazing stories with characters that readers can identify with and that will take readers on an exploratory journey." The difference is that Howard books "have a faith theme woven into the mix of story-telling and character development."
Smith also notes that controversy can be good for sales. "With the success of outspoken celebrity Christians, like the Robertson family (from A&E's "Duck Dynasty"), we have found that there is an extreme need in the marketplace for this type of literature that people gravitate toward," she said.
But just as God sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust, these inspirational publishers find themselves struggling with the market pressures that traditional publishers suffer. Nelson says, "The category's not quite as hot as it used to be in terms of sales. The market is just saturated."
Watson agrees, although she says that Tyndale is in the middle of a very successful year. "The Christian fiction market is facing many of the same challenges as general market fiction. The loss of channels like Borders impacted our sales, as has the closing of many Christian bookstores. There is significant downward price pressure brought to bear from the shift to e-books," Watson said.
But if Amazon has disrupted the traditional pricing structure, Watson acknowledges "one of the interesting advantages of the Amazon model" for the kinds of novels she publishes: Christian books "are given an opportunity to be considered simply by genre without the designation or separate placement that can occur in stores. Many readers have found authors and books they would have never encountered otherwise," she said. Such are the benefits of letting the wheat and the chaff grow together until the harvest.
The winners of the Christian Book Awards will be announced on April 28 at the ECPA Leadership Summit in Colorado Springs.

Research Workshop on Monetary Policy Committees
Oslo, 6 - 7 September 2007
Norges Bank (Central Bank of Norway) will host a research Workshop on monetary policy by committees in Oslo 6 - 7 September 2007.
In a modern central bank, the responsibility for monetary policy typically lies within a committee and not, as assumed in the theoretical literature, with a single policymaker. What are the arguments in for delegating monetary policy decisions to a committee? Why do the committees differ? What is a good institutional setup for monetary policy decisions within a central bank? How should a committee deliberate? How should it communicate? What are the linkages between committees and other aspects of monetary policy like communication, goal, independence etc.?
These and related questions are receiving increasing interest by researchers. The aim of the research workshop is to inspire more research on these questions and to bring together researchers working on the topics to discuss the ongoing research.
Alan S. Blinder, Princeton University, will give an opening lecture at the workshop
Program committee:

Concluding remarks by Research director Øistein Røisland


text:
This morning while reading the news, an article I read in National Review caught my attention.
Now you can reference the article, and there is one reply comment I read that was so to the point, in so many areas—I just felt obligated to share.
I know not who this person who calls themselves Voltaire is; but his insight is so marvelous; it's something we can all learn from.
Hope you take the time to "think" about what he says.
In my background—the reality is, our path is the design of Antonio Gramsci, right down the letter—but perhaps you'll see it more clearly in his words.
Decline or Decadence?
America is suffering from a lack of mastery over its own riches.
I'm afraid that Dr. Hanson has touched mainly on the symptoms of our decline, not on the causes. Sure, he has mentioned a vague "moral confusion," but there is much more to that. Our decline coincides with the overall decline of the West, although of course not all nations decline in all aspects at the same rate.
It started after WWII, and was then precipitated by the Vietnam war and the 1960's revolutions. I lay the blame squarely on the suicidal pessimism towards Western culture that the events I have just mentioned have (respectively) brought about, intensified and ingrained in our social conscience. This pessimism has in turn been the perfect host–I would even say the catalyst–for the virus of Marxism (alive and well since at least the days of FDR), and its many mutations of racialism, historical revisionism, radical feminism, environmentalism and a host of other -isms that we can easily see all around us. Let's stay with America and see how this has played out.
One of the first victims was academia—and this is downright tragic. Suddenly, the culturally-masochistic ranting's of the maladjusted became serious mainstream scholarship—and what's worse; it became cited scholarship, which is spreading like poison to this day. As a result, America became the perfect Marxist oppressor and exploiter, founded on the backs of the African slave, bloodied with the genocidal extermination of Natives, grown through the ruthless greed of Robber Barons at home and through its manifest-destiny military imperialism abroad. Our very founding fathers were forcibly removed from the pedestal on which they had been, and placed in the chair of the accused–as slave-raping, self-serving capitalists who ingrained their chauvinistic gun-toting values in an illegitimate body of White-man's laws.
Meanwhile, traditional Western learning became disgustingly passé'–Aristotle, Shakespeare, Milton, Gibbons became optional, while the vapid social 3itchings of a new crop of [insert victim group]-studies "scholars" passes as serious work. Bye bye, logic, hello feel-goodism.
The next victim was the American white male, now seen as an embodiment of America's guilt. Masculine values became caricaturized into "machismo" a boorish vulgarity to be socially avoided and apologized for. Thanks to this, the social rites of passage that turn boys into men have lost their meaning–and boyhood is pushed through adolescence, and adolescence continues almost indefinitely, to the cheers of our popular culture.
Then came the traditional family, seen as a microcosm of the patriarchal oppression that plagued the nation. Women were encouraged to burn their bras (I never understood that one), liberate their bodies, have it all, and if cursed with an offspring, either abort it or "keep it" as a "lifestyle choice." And now these "lifestyle choices," are raised by the millions by single mothers, often just barely old enough to function biologically, who have to spend all day working thanks to their newly-found freedom from patriarchal oppression. Hence the vacuous young minds that spends all day playing videogames or fattening themselves on ersatz pap in front of the TV.
Lastly came the plague of multiculturalism, which replaced the melting pot as the new National way. Let's bring in as many foreign cultures as possible, by as large numbers as we can, until we can actually look forward to a year when European-Americans (the most despised of hyphenated nationals) become the minority—then the 3@stards will know what it feels like.
I could go on and on, but it's easy to see how this cultural masochism has gone a long way in enervating our spirit, and turning us into a depressed, pessimistic nation that entertains herself away from reality and prefers that others (the government, foreign manufacturers and oil-producers, etc.) to do her heavy lifting–while looking in the mirror and telling herself how noble she is for leaving a small carbon footprint.

Works, to be executed by a consortium comprising Soletanche Bachy France SAS, SACEEM and Dredging International, will begin on August 11 and last for one year, according to a government statement. The signing ceremony was attended by the president of national ports authority ANP, Alberto Díaz, Belgium's ambassador Patrick Renault and executives of the consortium. The works include an additional 180m of pier and dredging to increase the depth of the base of the structure and the rest of the dock to 12m. Pier C currently measures 360m and was inaugurated in February 2015. During ANP's 100 year anniversary on July 21, Rossi described the expansion of pier C as a strategic project for national port development. Source: BNamericas

In retrospect, the seven were good points for designing a Diablo game. The problem wasn't that the Seven Pillars were bad objectives… the problem was that D3v didn't execute them properly. But our vote on that was from early 2013, barely half a year after Diablo 3's release. Now that we're a year into Reaper of Souls, how well do you guys think the original seven design pillars are doing?
Please vote yes/no based on how the current version of Reaper of Souls supports (or not) these seven pillars.
We talked all seven of these over on last week's podcast and the consensus was that most/all of them were pretty sturdy at this point in Reaper of Souls. Whether you guys voting will agree… remains to be seen.
Click through for a reminder of the results of that old 2013 vote, and a reminder of Josh's Three Pillars for Reaper of Souls.
Results from the original vote in January 2013:
D3's Design Pillars. Vote for as many as you think were done well.
1) Approachable (66%, 1,967 Votes) 2) Powerful Heroes (50%, 1,491 Votes) 6) Strong Setting (27%, 804 Votes) 7) Cooperative Multiplayer (23%, 677 Votes) 9) None of them (19%, 561 Votes) 5) Endlessly Replayable (12%, 351 Votes) 3) Highly Customizable (10%, 311 Votes) 10) Other factors were more important than these 7. (9%, 274 Votes) 4) Great Item Game (7%, 198 Votes) 8) All of them (2%, 57 Votes)
Total Voters: 2,966
That's the 2013 vote, and it'll be interesting to compare the new results to that one. As for Josh's Three Pillars for RoS, here they are: 1) Focus on the Fantasy, 2) Endgame for Everyone, 3) Make Online Matter. Hard to argue against any of those as useful pillars, but they seem like Expansion pack pillars to me; non-specific and meant to be more inspiration than actionable.
That said, while I think #1 is well-done, I'd actually quibble about #2 and #3. I still want longer-form Endgame, along the lines of an endless dungeon, or viable bonuses for doing Story Mode, or completing every Bounty in a game. RoS is much better than any previous Diablo series end game, but it's still all about repeating the same semi-random content in 10-15 minute blocks. As for #3, clans and leaderboards and seasons are great, but until there's at least one kind of proper PvP, I can't say that Online really Matters.

Swami Veda Bharati has a 2 minute meditation for people who feel they are too busy to meditate. It's a great way to start meditating, because once you get a taste for it, you will develop a habit of it.
It's very helpful in calming the mind and reducing stress even if you meditate for only two minutes.
The following is a copy of Swami's recommendations.
2 Minute Meditation
Swami Veda Bharati suggests going every 2-3 hours into a state of inner silence (meditative state) for just 2 minutes.
How to reach this inner state of silence?
Sit comfortably (If sitting is not possible, stand comfortably – be practical).
If possible, relax all musculature and joints in one breath. The most proficient can do so, but do not struggle. With your awareness, quickly and systematically relax your whole body.
Relax your forehead.
Feel the touch of the breath in the nostrils.
Breathe slowly, gently, smoothly.
Let there be no sound, jerks, or pauses.
Eliminate the pauses between the breaths. As soon as one breath is completed, begin to feel the next breath flow.
Use one of the four thoughts below. Let the chosen thought flow with each breath, not on the lips, not on the tongue, not in the vocal cards, but only as a thought in your mind.
Your personal mantra
In the absence of a personal mantra, exhale "ham" and inhale "so". Let there be no break in the chain of "ham so", "so ham" thought flow.
Choose a name of a divinity you prefer in accordance with your tradition.
If you do not believe in the above three, then count 1 with the exhalation and 2 with the inhalation. There are many ways of counting breaths; this is the simplest.
After whatever number of above observations of the breath and single repeated thought, observe how the breath, mind, and the word thought are flowing as a single stream.
The entire mind becomes an even blowing stream.
Without breaking the stream and its operation, slowly open your eyes.
Resolve in your mind that you will calm the mind in this way many times in the day
Whatever you do with the mind repeatedly becomes the mind's habit. At present, disturbance is the mind's habit. Later calmness and peace will become the mind's nature
Thoughts may arise during the meditation. Do not be angry with yourself because of thoughts arising. Be gentle to yourself, and bring your awareness back to your object of concentration.
Even at home you can do this. A good possibility to integrate the 2 minute meditation into a daily schedule is doing them every time before you begin doing a new activity and after finishing an activity. You can also use otherwise wasted time, like waiting for paying in a store, sitting in a taxi, waiting for a bus, during a television commercial. Be creative, it is just 2 minutes.
I BEGIN NOW: To meditate for 2-minutes a few times a day.

Certainly with the amount of information data that you get about the data sgp can be used as a reference or special consideration so that you can get the numbers exactly and know your benefits. To be able to have a winning chance you must be able to use a formula for the calculation so that you can get the corresponding number. To be able to use the output data can use the selected game type. Like for example in a free plug game that is important for you to determine the type of output number by getting one number that is adjusted by the toggle output number later. In addition, you can use the lottery output data by combining the same zodiac information or estimates that you can find. Later it can be considered more wisely to achieve the right lottery output figures. You can use or have zodiacs and dream interpretation from the information of the dealer you choose first and later it will be reapplied. Or As for services on earth prediction numbers that you can know through the services provided by the city and of course can provide services for free for you.

Moreover, if you join a trusted place, the data provided is fast enough so that you don't have to wait any longer to find out if you won or the number you put out. It cannot be denied that in order to achieve success one of the things that must be done is to provide sufficient capital. But there are a lot of players who think that using large capital of course this can be a way so that they can win more easily. This is what you should be aware of especially for new players who don't know the tricks to win on SGP lottery bets. With you use a very large capital of course this will be very high risk because you could lose and lose so much money. Conversely, if you use a very low capital it is possible to win more easily is very small and there do not expect to get a chance to win big if not accompanied by ability. The ability is to read a prediction precisely so that you can produce the best numbers.

That means if you keep failing at lottery bets it's good for you to stop playing and find out the root of the defeat. Because usually players are not complacent and are constantly playing without thinking of harm.

"It's hard not being nice"
Tuesday, 30 November 1999 01:00
from Intrum Iustitia - Fair Pay magazine
On the tennis court he rarely gives away a point unnecessarily. Tennis champ Stefan Edberg is aiming to be as tough in his new career. As a businessman he has learnt the importance of getting paid on time. "I am probably a little too kind, which is a problem," he says.
Almost eleven years have passed since his last volley as tennis pro. The former Wimbledon winner was not attracted by the idea of becoming a trainer or joining the veteran tour, although Stefan Edberg has always retained close contact with the sport. He is involved in the ATP tour's If Stockholm Open, where Intrum Justitia is one of the main sponsors.
He also sees a further link to tennis in his investment firm's results-based activities: "If you do a great job you get paid well, if you do a bad job you don't get paid well. I think that is a good basic philosophy."
But the most basic demand is to just get paid, he says. Over the years he has amassed substantial experience in this area. "In tennis everything functioned pretty well, even if there was occasional problems. But I was pretty spoilt because I had agents who took care of everything. After a tennis career it is almost as if you grow up when you start having to suddenly lead a normal life. You have to take responsibility for things yourself and sometimes tackle these types of problems."
This became most concrete for Edberg in his other role – as a landlord in his hometown of Växjö in central Sweden. Cash flow is vital, especially during certain periods when major payments have to be made. "Most of the time it works really well, but sometimes people forget to pay the rent. My philosophy is to deal with the problem immediately."

CS sits down with director Denise Di Novi and her Unforgettable cast
This Friday, Warner Bros. Pictures brings to the big screen Unforgettable, a dramatic thriller that also represents the directorial debut of Denise Di Novi. Di Novi, who has been working in Hollywood as a producer for more than three decades, is responsible for films like Heathers, Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, The Nightmare Before Christmas and many more. ComingSoon.net recently had the chance to sit down with Di Novi and her Unforgettable cast (including stars Rosario Dawson, Katherine Heigl, Geoff Stults and Cheryl Ladd) to talk about what made her decide that Unforgettable was the right film to finally move into the director's chair.
RELATED: It's Rosario Dawson vs. Katherine Heigl in the Unforgettable Trailer
Unforgettable stars Heigl as Tessa Connover, who is barely coping with the end of her marriage when her ex-husband, David (Stults), becomes happily engaged to Julia Banks (Dawson)—not only bringing Julia into the home they once shared but also into the life of their daughter, Lilly (Isabella Rice). Trying to settle into her new role as a wife and a stepmother, Julia believes she has finally met the man of her dreams, the man who can help her put her own troubled past behind her. But Tessa's jealousy soon takes a pathological turn until she will stop at nothing to turn Julia's dream into her ultimate nightmare.
The Unforgettable cast also includes Simon Kassianides (Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Whitney Cummings (The Wedding Ringer) and Robert Wisdom (Chicago PD).
The film is also being produced by Di Novi alongside Alison Greenspan (If I Stay) and Ravi D. Mehta (Grudge Match), from a screenplay by Christina Hodson. The behind-the-scenes creative team is led by multiple Oscar-nominated director of photography Caleb Deschanel (The Right Stuff, The Natural), production designer Nelson Coates (Flight), editor Frédéric Thoraval (Taken), and costume designer Marian Toy (Ballers).

For those who haven't heard, what's the book about?
Save the Deli is an in-depth look into the history, culture, and personalities behind the Jewish delicatessen business around the world. It's also a call to arms, as it were, because the Jewish delicatessen has been disappearing for almost a century, and I'm arguing essentially why we should care, fight for its survival, and eat more deli.
What'd you learn from your journey?
At least 320 pages worth of stuff! But I'd say that no matter where the deli was, whether it was Paris, or Salt Lake City, or New York, the owners all had a common experience, faced common problems, served common foods, and dealt with similar customers. Though geography and local culture left their imprint, the Jewish deli is like the Jewish experience in the Diaspora...distinct in some ways, but incredibly close in many others.
What's the best deli in Toronto?
I don't have one favorite, but many. I grew up at Yitz's and Centre Street, love Moe Pancer's and Wolfie's, and because I live downtown, spend a good amount of time at Caplansky's.
What's the most interesting deli you've been to?
Probably Maison David in Paris. It's just a tiny butcher shop, but the owner, Michel Kalifa, makes the most incredible kosher meats and sausages that just blow your mind.
What's next for you?
Many many sit-ups.
