You might not be screaming "Throw me something, mister" at these parades, but you, and the children riding in the parades, will definitely have fun.
You might not be screaming "Throw me something, mister" at these parades, but you, and the children riding in the parades, will definitely have fun.
Each year, several Lafourche Parish Public Library System branches hold Mardi Gras parades for preschoolers.
Five Mardi Gras krewes are rolling in early February.
All children are invited to participate.
The Library System emphasizes children's safety at its parades, so children are not allowed to ride in any type of motorized vehicle at any parades. They can, however, walk or be pulled in plain or decorated strollers and wagons as they toss throws to paradegoers.
Children can come in costumes, but costumes aren't necessary to participate.
Children must bring their own throws.
This year, the Library System's Carnival season begins Feb. 6 in Golden Meadow and Thibodaux.
The Krewe of Bookworms parade rolls at 10 a.m. Feb. 6 at the Thibodaux Civic Center, 310 N. Canal Blvd. The Krewe of Li'l Readers is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Feb. 6 at the Golden Meadow Library, 1403 N. Bayou Drive.
The Krewe of Once Upon a Time is scheduled to roll at 10:30 a.m. Feb. 7 at Bayou Side Park in Lockport. The krewe's king and queen, trailed by a parade of wagon floats, will stop for a toast from the Town of Lockport's mayor.
A story and the inaugural parade for the Krewe de Fantaise for preschoolers is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Feb. 7 at the Larose Library, 305 E. 5th St. Children should bring beads and other throws, but the library will have some supplies on hand for those children who need them to participate.
This year's Carnival season wraps up with the Krewe des Petits Enfants at 10:30 a.m. Feb. 8 in the South Lafourche Library's parking lot, 16241 E. Main St., Cut Off, weather permitting. If it rains, the festivities will move inside.
A large section of the parking lot will be cordoned off and unavailable for parking and to traffic to ensure safety. However, there is ample parking for those wanting to attend.
Family members, residents and visitors are welcome and encouraged to attend the parades.
Children who participate in the Library System's parades are excited and love to throw to spectators. The parades are loads of fun, organizers say, for everyone involved.
For information on any of the parades, call the respective library or visit the Library System's website at www.lafourche.org.
Katina Gaudet is the reference librarian for the South Lafourche Public Library. She can be reached at 632-7140 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Yoga is the perfectly balanced embodiment of strength and grace. Each yoga pose is an achievement and, like any other milestone, deserves to be celebrated. And what better place to share the achievements of your yoga journey than on your Instagram page?
Forget museums, tweed and fish and chips! While these are all nice things to experience on the first trip to the UK, maybe, this great country is about so much more than these tourist staples. The unique geography of the lands which comprise it, for example, make most sites exceptionally suitable to mindfulness and meditation.
November brings the last fall foliage in the Northern Hemisphere, but it also brings the first flurries and cold snaps as winter is inching closer and closer. It's the perfect time to head to warmer climates. And there are plenty of amazing choices.
Thanks to a host of celebrities endorsing the benefits of yoga in recent times, this ancient Indian discipline has been enjoying greater visibility in popular culture than ever before. But when I found even Kaley Cuoco – who plays the irrepressible Penny in the hugely popular sitcom Big Bang Theory – a fan of yoga, I knew I had to check it out.

Let's see how many dumb euphemisms for anal sex I can come up with. A while back I wrote about a reader who had written to me with questions regarding butt play, and I had recommended that if she is interested in some anal action for beginners she start small—with a finger. She reported back to me that the finger went over fine, and that she is still hoping to one day get comfortable enough to have an actual phallic member in there. Also apparently her boyfriend is quite large, which makes first-time sex of any kind even more painful. So we got on the subject of anal plugs. Anal plugs are the cilantro of the bedroom. You either love it, or hate it. You either want it all over your enchiladas, or you think it tastes like soap and gag every time you even think about it. Basically, anal plugs are not for the vanilla soft-serve style sexers, but more for the inquisitive mattress mavens—someone who doesn't find inserting a piece of plastic in their butt uncomfortable (in theory and action).But I mentioned them to my reader-friend, and suggested if that's something she thinks she is interested in, she should look into a very very small anal plug. She went out and got one of those kits that come with three different sizes so you can ease yourself into it gradually. She told me that even the small seemed pretty large. So, I recommended to her the Pop Plug (size small, of course).
The smallest sized Pop Plug is smaller than a lot of other "small" starter plugs, and it's pink which makes it seem friendlier, don't you think? Plus, it's shaped like a Ring Pop which were all the rage when I was growing up. It is also reminiscent of a pacifier, which gave me a good giggle on the subway the other day as I was ogling a cute baby suckin' away on one.
Okay but maybe you're thinking WHY would anyone ever want an anal plug? Often people use them the way my reader is interested—to prep them for a real-life romp in the backyard. But on top of that, anal plugs are popular with hetero couples interested in double penetration. For some women, using an anal plug while their partner is all up inside their ladybits is like chewing a stick of Double Mint Gum.
But, obviously, plugs don't discriminate based on sex or gender. The anus (Worst.Word.Ever) is an erogenous zone for both men and women, and so anal stimulation can feel extremely pleasurable if you're open to it. Let me just clarify that–despite popular misconceptions instilled by, oh, I don't know, homophobes–a man who enjoys a bit of ass tackling is NOT gay. And if he is-who cares?! It's called a prostate. We all have them. It's the sex of the person he is choosing to have nail his tail that will help you determine his sexuality. Anyway, back to pluggin' that up… Some people also insert anal plugs and then go about their daily business, which apparently can be interesting. Or they wear an anal plug out on a date as foreplay. SO the next time you see that couple cozying up in the movie theatre, ask yourself "which one of them is wearing the butt plug?"
When choosing a plug, it's important to get one with a wide base so that it doesn't get uhm…abducted? (Insert disgusting sound effects…) The Pop Plug has that cute and high-functioning finger loop for easy retrieval. Also they are affordable—ranging from 15-20 bucks a pop. And just when you think, wow, that butt plug couldn't get any more appealing, you learn that they are boilable, so you can stay hygienic. Hygiene is important! Just don't boil it in your room-mates favorite pasta pot. And if you do, don't tell her about it! Get it here! And, be sure to follow the Number One Rule in any sort of anal play: More lube is ALWAYS a good idea.
Okay, now tell me; have you used a Pop Plug? Did you like it? Worn an anal plug on a date? Think they are horrible? Worst invention ever? Do you like cilantro? Did you count how many different ways I referred to anal sex without saying "anal sex?"

#Packers practice: Lots of news. Matthews not wearing a club. Richardson, Worthy practicing for first time. EDS practicing. Barclay not.
— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) November 13, 2013
Hayward, Jolly, Rodgers, Perry and Barclay not practicing for #Packers Mulumba is back.
— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) November 13, 2013
In his first game since undergoing surgery on his broken thumb, Clay Matthews was largely ineffective while wearing a club cast in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles this past Sunday.
The Packers must feel Matthews' thumb is sufficiently healed to forego wearing a cast, especially in a practice environment. And perhaps that will lead to increased production as the team prepares to face the New York Giants this upcoming weekend.
Silverstein later reported that Matthews was wearing a brace on his right hand, however.
Good news at practice on Wednesday came in the form of Evan Dietrich-Smith returning to practice just three days after exiting the Eagles game with a knee injury.
The situation on the Packers offensive line is not nearly as bad as it could be with the return of Dietrich-Smith allowing T.J. Lang to return to his usual position at right guard.
Don Barclay remains out, although the Packers have Marshall Newhouse and Derek Sherrod in reserve at right tackle.
Also notable was seeing defensive linemen Jerel Worthy and safety Sean Richardson practice for the first time this season since being placed on the PUP list, although offensive lineman J.C. Tretter remains out.
Decisions on the future of Worthy and Richardson are forthcoming, but the team will at least get to see them in action before coming to any conclusions.
Outside linebacker Andy Mulumba returned to practice after being held out of the Eagles game with an ankle injury.
The bad news for the Packers is that quarterback Aaron Rodgers (collarbone), defensive lineman Johnny Jolly (groin), linebacker Nick Perry (ankle) and cornerback Casey Hayward all remain out.

Your code needs secrets in order to do its job--things like passwords, access tokens, and API keys. It's critical that these secrets don't fall into the wrong hands, so managing those secrets is an essential part of your overall security strategy.
At DevSecCon I'm speaking about best practices for secrets management with containers. Here arefour key actions that you can take today, regardless of the tooling and orchestration you're using.
If you have a piece of code that needs a secret, and you're running that code inside a container, somehow you have to get the secret to that container. You could build the secret value into the code itself, or into the container image by defining it in the Dockerfile, but this is a bad idea for a couple of reasons.
First, it means that anyone who can seethe source code also has access to the secret value. The more people who can read a secret value, the more likely it is to get compromised--perhaps by a bad actor deliberately abusing or revealing the secret, but more likely simply throughhuman error. It's therefore good practice to restrict access to a secretto theset of people who really need it.
The second reason not to build secrets into the code or the container image is that this would couple the secretlife cycle to your deployment process. If you want to change a password or rotate a key, you need to rebuild and re-deploy the code.
If secrets aren't built into the container image, there needs to be a way ofpassing them to containerized code at runtime. There are two mechanisms for doing this: Environment variables and volume mounts.
The danger of using environment variablesis that it's easy for the secrets to be accidentally leaked through logging, as it's common for software to log its entire environment. The set of people who have access to logs is often much bigger than the people who need production key values.

If the doors in your home are reallllllly tall, you'll appreciate this really long (hard to find) over-the-door hook. It's made for doors like yours!
This is the exact filing system I use inside my own home. It's the only filing system I recommend since its easy to use and requires little ongoing maintenance.
It works wonderfully.

These are the binders I always use for my organizing projects. They come in bright, fun colors and have rubber seams that don't rip like most binders!
These are the pouches that are in my tax drawer for organizing my tax returns. They are AWESOME! The zipper slides like butter and the pouch is large enough to
store really thick tax returns and associated documentation and receipts. I absolutely love these and the aqua pop of color makes organizing and accessing your taxes a little bit more fun!
I use file accordion's for mostly receipts, both personal and business in the home office. This is my favorite. Why? Because the tabs are color-coded in rainbow
order, obviously
These are the little recycling bins I have scattered throughout my house for responsibly decluttering! They are the cutest little things for recycling small
items that never seem to have a good "temporary home" until they leave your house including batteries, ink cartridges, expired medications, etc. They also make decluttering a little bit more fun! They are seasonal promotional items at Dollar Tree (always located in the check-out aisle!) but you can also find similar ones at Family Dollar, Walmart (expensive!), and on Amazon (expensive as well!).

This is the shredder Ed and I use in our offices. It's shreds (cross-cuts) up to 16-pages at once including staples, credit cards, CD/DVDs, and paper clips (however,
I recommend removing and reusing the paper clip as opposed to shredding it). It holds a good amount of paper, it's a bit quieter than our old one, and it has never jammed to date!
If you've always wanted a laminator but thought they were too expensive, this is the best "bang for your buck" laminator on the market! The machine itself is just under
$30 and works well (this is the one I have in my office). If you're looking for something functional that will get the job done right, and you don't want to spend a lot of money, this is the laminator for you! On the other hand, if you're looking for a super duper professional series reallllllly thick lamination, this isn't the machine for you. In that case, your best bet is having your nearest office supply store do the lamination for you (or purchasing a $300 laminator).
These are the laminating pouches that go with the " best priced laminator ". NOTE: There are two kinds of laminating pouches that fit this laminator:

Health professionals who may care for a child who has with type 1 diabetes include:
A child with type 1 diabetes needs to visit his or her doctor at least every 3 to 6 months. During these visits, the doctor reviews your child's blood sugar level records and asks about any problems you and your child may have. Your child's blood pressure is checked, and growth and development is evaluated. The doctor examines your child for signs of infections, especially at injection sites. Your child usually has the following tests at office visits:
If your child has a family history of high cholesterol or heart disease and is at least 10 years old, your child's doctor may do a cholesterol (LDL and HDL) test when type 1 diabetes is diagnosed or as soon as blood sugars are under control. If there is no family history of high cholesterol, your child may have a cholesterol test at puberty. If the LDL cholesterol is less than 100 mg/dL (2.60 mmol/L) and there is no family history of high cholesterol, the doctor may repeat this test every 5 years.
Diabetes increases your child's risk for dental problems. Experts suggest dental checkups every 6 months.

I don't think it's ever appropriate to market clothes to tween girls using the term "sexy." Manufacturer "PrettySinful" has a different opinion, as seen in these "sexy" tights sold on Amazon, accompanied by a picture of a prepubescent girl. Perhaps the picture is in error because the rest of the clothier's offerings are along the lines of crotchless bodystockings and various "do-me" adult party costumes. In any event, it's gross and should be fixed.

The $3 million spent on Tuesday's Council District 1 and Council District 13 elections did not exactly trigger a flood of voting. In the Council District 1 race, former State Senator Gil Cedillo took first place with 6,113 votes, according to the unofficial tally from the City Clerk. But those votes did not come cheap. An estimated $765,858 was spent on behalf of Cedillo in the form of campaign spending and independent expenditures, according to the most recent figures compiled by the city's Ethics Commission. That works out to $115.81 per vote. In contrast, second-place candidate Jose Gardea spent $69.25 for his 5,797 votes.
But spending lavishly per voter does not always make you a winner.
In the Council District 13 race, the 3,158 votes cast in favor of Public Works Commissioner John Choi each cost about $183.38, which includes spending and campaign expenditures. Choi, however, ended up in second place behind Mitch O'Farrell, a former city council staffer, whose cost-per-voter only totaled $40.09.
Who ended up paying the most per vote? It looks like that dubious honor goes to Council District 13 candidate Emile Mack, whose $182,000 in campaign expenses generated only 672 votes. That works out to $271.39 per vote.

On Baseball: Once more, with feeling for Sea Dogs and Fisher Cats
By ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader
Sea Dogs-Fisher Cats
Monday through Thursday, 6:35 p.m. each night
Northeast Delta Dental Stadium, Manchester
Fast fact:
The teams are third and fourth in the EL's Eastern Division, chasing second-place Trenton for the second and final playoff berth.
nhfishercats.com, or call 641-2005.
The future Red Sox and future Blue Jays are taking the chase for a playoff spot into the last week of the season.
The New Hampshire Fisher Cats enter their final homestand of the season tonight against the Portland Sea Dogs. The teams are both trying to track down the Trenton Thunder for the second playoff berth in the Eastern Division.
The Fisher Cats bounced back from a loss at Reading on Friday night and another in the day portion of a doubleheader on Saturday with a win on Saturday night, 3-1, and Sunday, 7-3, to stay in the hunt.
They are three games behind Trenton after the Thunder beat Portland, 3-2, on Sunday. Portland is two games behind New Hampshire.
The Fisher Cats, 66-67, and Sea Dogs play at 6:35 each of the next four nights.
The Fisher Cats then move on to division-leading Binghamton for four games to close out the regular season.
The Sea Dogs are set up to help themselves, or perhaps even the Fisher Cats, down the stretch. They finish up with five games at home against Trenton, starting on Friday.
The Sea Dogs are expected to lead off this series with their two newest left-handers, both up from Class-A Salem, against a couple of New Hampshire right-handers.
Mickey Pena
is slated to go tonight for Portland against New Hampshire's
Marcus Walden
Henry Owens
is tabbed to go on Tuesday against
Marcus Stroman
Owens, 20, is 6-foot-6 and 205 pounds and is Boston's fourth-rated prospect, according to the web site soxprospects.com.
He is 2-0 with a 1.50 earned run average in four starts for the Sea Dogs and through 18 innings has allowed 10 hits, struck out 32 and walked 13 batters. He has not faced New Hampshire.
Owens was Boston's first-round pick in 2011 and Pena was taken in the sixth round the same season.
Pena, 22, is not as highly touted as his teammate, but he has already proven himself to the Fisher Cats.
He faced New Hampshire in his first Eastern League start on Aug. 21 and gave up five hits and no runs in his seven innings.
Portland comes back with right-hander
Matt Barnes
on Wednesday against righty
Austin Bibens-Dirkx
Barnes is 5-10 with a 4.33 ERA and has struck out 135 batters and waked 46 in 108 innings.
Casey Lawrence
goes for New Hampshire against
Keith Couch
(10-3, 3.49) on Thursday.
Barnes, at No. 8, and Owens are three of the top prospects playing for the Sea Dogs, according to the soxprospects.com. Third baseman
Garin Cecchini
(No. 3), who was hitting .296 going into Sunday night's game, is another.
Christian Vazquez
(No. 13), an outstanding defender, and shortstop
Deven Marrero
(No. 14) are also with the Sea Dogs. Marrero has been up from Salem for a dozen games.
- - - - - -
THE FISHER CATS got a boost in Saturday night's win at Reading from the return of a couple of players to the lineup.
Gabe Jacobo
was back after a short stint on the disabled list with a hamstring injury and had a single in five at-bats.
He had been on a tear before being sidelined and was the Eastern League's Player of the Week for the period ending Aug. 18. In four games during that stretch, Jacobo was 10 for 19 at the plate and had three home runs, a couple of doubles and eight runs batted in.
Lawrence made his first Fisher Cat start on the mound on Saturday night and allowed five hits in five innings and left with the game tied 1-1. He struck out four and walked one.
Lawrence, just up from High-A Dunedin, made one start earlier this year Triple-A Buffalo. He started two games and made three appearances with the Fisher Cats last year and gave up 20 hits over 12 2/3 innings.

- GP2, British Grand Prix, Race 2
Razia holds off DAMS drivers for victory in sprint race
- Race:
- British GP2 round
- Drivers:
- Felipe Nasr
- |
- Luiz Razia
- |
- Davide Valsecchi
Championship leader Luiz Razia took a well-deserved victory in the GP2 sprint race at Silverstone, coming through from fourth on the grid and holding off challenges for the lead from both DAMS cars.
Davide Valsecchi finished second after a late push didn't pay off, ahead of team-mate Felipe Nasr, who started well but could not maintain his pace. Towards the end Nasr did well to fend off feature race winner Esteban Gutierrez, who finished fourth after a clash controversial with Johnny Cecotto on the final lap.
Razia took the lead after making three clean overtaking manoeuvres in the first two laps, two of which saw him hang his car around the outside of the high-speed Stowe corner. The move for the lead was on Giedo Van der Garde, who got a good start from pole position but soon came under pressure and eventually retired two laps from the end.
Nasr also quickly found a way past van der Garde and then set about harrying the back of Razia's Arden. At one stage Nasr got his nose ahead into the Arena section, but Razia remained cool, took a better line through the corner and resumed the lead under traction.
Nasr's persistence eventually took its toll on his tyres and he dropped behind team-mate Davide Valsecchi on lap 14, leaving the two championship leaders to battle it out. Valsecchi narrowed the gap to just 0.9s on lap 18 but his pace dropped away rapidly towards the end of the race and he crossed the line five seconds behind the Arden.
Towards the end of the race Nasr's podium aspirations came under attack from Gutierrez, whose aggressive style had seen him bully his way up from eighth to fourth by lap 19. His opportunity to pass Nasr came soon after but he ran deep into Vale and dropped to fifth behind Cecotto once more.
Nasr was then safe in third, but Gutierrez wasn't about to give up and on the final lap he attempted to pass Cecotto on the outside of Stowe. However, on 20-lap old tyres he ran out of grip and ran wide into the run-off area, and seemingly out of contention for the position. But Gutierrez being Gutierrez, he didn't lift and as he rejoined the track at full racing speed his car twitched dramatically and he smashed into the side of Cecotto, punting the Venezuelan onto the grass, through a polystyrene braking marker and finally into a hefty collision with the tyre barrier at Vale. Gutierrez continued on to take fourth but the incident will no doubt be investigated after the race.
Joylon Palmer benefitted from all the action in front to finish fifth ahead of Nigel Melker, Marcus Ericsson and Fabio Onidi. Britons James Calado and Max Chilton should have been in contention for points but they both spun off as Calado attempted an ambitious move on Chilton through Becketts.

- Taipei
Introducing Taiwan
Taroko Gorge National Park © Mark Kao
Situated off the coast of mainland China, the mountainous island of Taiwan teems with people in massive urban developments, but at the same time hides some picture-perfect, breathtaking vistas and natural attractions. Jet into the airport at the capital, Taipei, and the island below greets you with majestic peaks, rolling hills and plains, basins and inlets, tropical beaches and green forests.
At the foot of the mountains cluster the crowded industrial cities and towns. Modern, high-rise buildings play backdrop to numerous traditional folk festivals, and ancient temples sit alongside glass-fronted boutiques in the bustling streets. Old and new live in harmony in Taiwan, and visitors will be enthralled as much by the bustling metropolis of Taipei as with the array of natural attractions throughout this relatively small island.
In the six national parks there are thousands of species of wildlife, 20 percent of which are rare or endangered, including the Mikado pheasant, the Hsuehshan grass lizard and the Formosan rock monkey. Unique experiences include taking a ride on the Alishan train, one of only three mountain railways in the world, and hiking up northeast Asia's highest mountain, Jade Mountain, and taking in the spectacular sunsets above a sea of clouds. With its volcanic origins, tropical climate and Polynesian flavour, Taiwan has deservedly been dubbed the 'Hawaii of Asia'.
Taiwan has long had an uneasy relationship with its larger neighbour, China. In 1684 the island became the refuge for the remnants of the deposed Ming Dynasty and when Mao's Communists forces took control of China in 1949 the nationalist leaders, and over one million supporters, fled to Taiwan. Economically, the island quickly became an Asian success story but its independence from China was never recognised by many governments - primarily due to the Republic's greater political and military firepower.

STOCKTON - After questioning a person of interest a second time in the case of missing Stockton woman Dalene Janice Carlson, 23, who has not been seen in more than a week, police arrested Jason Ross Gilley, 25, of Stockton early Monday morning on felony charges of kidnapping and false imprisonment.
STOCKTON - After questioning a person of interest a second time in the case of missing Stockton woman Dalene Janice Carlson, 23, who has not been seen in more than a week, police arrested Jason Ross Gilley, 25, of Stockton early Monday morning on felony charges of kidnapping and false imprisonment.
Carlson was last seen shortly after 1 a.m. Aug. 7 after leaving Finnegan's Pub and Grill, 6252 Pacific Ave., and a few minutes later on a video at Food 4 Less on nearby Hammer Lane. The video shows her with Gilley at the market, according to police, who would not provide details on what was purchased.
Police held a news conference Monday to bring attention to the case and urged anyone with information to come forward and contact investigators at (209) 937-8377.
Inconsistencies in Gilley's versions of what happened that night led police to arrest him.
An emotional Margret Baker, Carlson's aunt whom she lived with in Stockton, said outside police headquarters her niece moved here from Sands, Idaho, in June "to better her life, to become independent." Baker said Carlson was preparing to enroll in San Joaquin Delta College to take general education courses.
"I just want everybody to know we love Dalene so much. Please contact police," said Baker, who with other family members have been distributing and posting fliers throughout Stockton making people aware of Carlson's disappearance.
Police described Carlson as 5 feet 1 inch tall and 120 pounds. She did not have money or identification with her at the time of her disappearance.
Baker described her niece as "bubbly. She was a little go-getter - spunky, but quiet. She loves animals. She wouldn't hurt anybody or anything." She is known for helping people, and her favorite color is purple, which Baker said she might incorporate into a ribbon awareness campaign soon.
"She was going no place where she lived. ... She knows we all stand behind her," Baker said.
In addition to her family, the staff at Finnegan's is heartsick about Carlson's disappearance. In her short time in Stockton, she had become a regular at the north Stockton hangout, where owner Tony Mannor said he watches out for his patrons and puts their safety above all else.
He described Carlson as "a very sweet girl."
"This was always a safe place for her to be. It's a pretty tight community of people who come here. When you're introduced to your family's friends, your guard comes down a little bit," Mannor said, noting Carlson first came into the bar with her cousin, Cesilee Baker, 22, a regular patron for about a year.
Cesilee Baker's friends quickly became Carlson's friends, Mannor said, and that included the Finnegan's staff as well as Gilley, another regular at the bar. Cesilee Baker said she did not know Gilley well.
Mannor said he saw Gilley and Carlson together the night she disappeared.
"On any given night, there are 100 people in here; 75 percent know each other. His friends and her friends knew each other. They were part of the same social circle. I know she would have felt comfortable getting a ride home from him," Mannor said.
Mannor said that both were sober when he last saw them. "She had a couple of drinks over several hours. She would have passed a Breathalyzer. I saw her before she left; she didn't seem intoxicated at all."
When asked if he thought it was possible Gilley could have harmed Carlson, Mannor said: "My hope is she is just somewhere locked up and can be saved, and that we can get there in time to do it. We're here to do anything it takes."
Cesilee Baker, who shared her bedroom in her mother's house with Carlson, said she was "very close" to her cousin.
"I just want him (Gilley) to cooperate, if he knows something. We're staying positive. We just want to bring her home," Baker said. "If Jason knows any little thing, he needs to tell us. He owes us to give us that closure."

Pa. police seek suspect road-rage slaying vehicle
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — State police said Wednesday they have narrowed down the description of a vehicle being sought in the apparent road-rage slaying of a Maine man along an interstate highway in south-central Pennsylvania last month.
Paint evidence has prompted investigators to search for a 1993-97 dark lapis blue Ford Ranger pickup, which may appear black depending on lighting and probably has damage on the driver's side, state police said.
Repair shops and insurance agents should report any such vehicles with similar damage, Lt. Adam Kosheba of the Harrisburg barracks said.
Timothy Davison, 28, was driving home to Poland, Maine, on Interstate 81 when he was shot to death a few miles north of the Maryland line around 2 a.m. Jan 4, police said.
Davison had called 911 as he crossed into Pennsylvania to report that another driver was shooting at him. Police believe the pickup driver rammed Davison's car into a grassy median, before the driver or perhaps a passenger shot him about 10 miles north of Hagerstown, Md.
Kosheba said investigators believe the suspect vehicle and its driver were observed by several motorists along I-81 in Maryland, and possibly by other motorists after Davison's vehicle veered into the median strip.
Davison's family and the Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers organization are each offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the killer, state police said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says he is prepared to do "tough things" for a "fiscal cliff" deal and says there is no reason for the talks to fail.
The president said he remains optimistic that a deal can be done, even though talks have reached a standstill.
Negotiations between the White House and Boehner's office on a deal to raise revenue and cut spending have stalled since House Speaker John Boehner decided to seek a vote in the House on a narrow bill that would raise taxes on taxpayers earning more than $1 million.
Obama has proposed raising the top tax rate for those earning more than $400,000 along with savings and spending cuts of $1.2 trillion.

A 15-year-old girl abducted from a medical facility in Alabama has been reportedly spotted in East Texas.
Alabama's Dothan Police Department issued a release on Friday morning stating the girl and her accused abductors were spotted in East Texas.
San Augustine Sheriff David Smith says the preacher of First Baptist Church in San Augustine reported that the suspected abductor, Charles 'Dean' Partin came to his church around 7:30 Thursday morning seeking gas money.
The preacher copied his driver's license, as it's standard protocol when giving away money.
Sheriff Smith says Partin got back into a green minivan and drove off with a woman and six children. Officials say he stopped at a Brookshire Brothers on State Highway 21 to get gas before heading west.
Intelligence shows they used food stamps in the Beaumont area, officials say.
The FBI says East Texans are "key" to locating and bringing her home safely, and bringing her kidnappers to justice.
The girl, Ailene Lander, was last seen at the Southeast Alabama Medical Center on Monday afternoon, where she was attending a medical doctor's appointment. Ailene was in state custody, officials say, and the parents had no right to take her.
Officials say Ailene was transported to the appointment by an employee of the Department of Human Resources. That employee told police while at the hospital, she and Ailene were approached by Ailene's stepfather, Charles Partin. The DHR employee says Partin took Ailene to a van and exited the parking lot.
Ailene was last seen wearing a see-through white shirt and pink gym shorts. Police say Ailene's hair color may have been altered to appear blonde.
Partin was last seen wearing a dark shirt and dark blue jeans.
The FBI says intelligence indicates that Partin and Ailene may be accompanied by Ailene's mother, Julie Bethke and her five siblings.
Both Partin and Bethke have active warrants our for their arrest for the their participation in the abduction, officials say.
Authorities say they believe the suspects may reach out to charitable organizations seeking assistance.
No suspect vehicle description is available, as Dothan Police say the two-tone light blue over dark blue 1994 Mercury Village van was located with the girl and suspects no where nearby.
Border Patrol agents are on the lookout for all parties, as it's likely they'll make an attempt to cross the U.S. border.
According to information released by the Dothan Police Department, Ailene is in immediate medical danger, but would not specify further on her medical condition.
Authorities say a reward is now being offered for Ailene's safe return.
Anyone with information on this case should call 1-800-CALLFBI (225-5324) and choose option one.

Monday January 28, 2013
Keith Lemon has spoken out about work colleague Fearne Cotton and how he thinks she will a fantastic mum.
"I think Fearne will be a fantastic mum. She's the most professional person I've ever met in her life so I guess as a mother she'll be the same. She's committed to everything she does."
The comedian also admitted he doesn't think he'll be asked to babysit his Celebrity Juice co-star's baby.
Fearne is expecting her first child with boyfriend Jesse Wood but Keith reckons she wouldn't trust him to look after the newborn.
"I don't think she'll ask me to babysit. I'll show it the wrong films. I'll be like, 'I've brought Trainspotting around, First Blood, Rambo'," Keith said.
The funny TV host, who has a series of catchphrases, also revealed he gets recognised everywhere he goes.
"It's tough especially when you're in a supermarket buying potatoes and everyone's shouting 'Potato' at you," he confessed.
"I don't sit there thinking, 'I've got a catchphrase'. The audience makes them. I say something and they start repeating it, and then I'm obliged to say it every week."

Waiting on a rental car shuttle at the Raleigh-Durham airport on the way to Pinehurst for the U.S. Open, a couple of New Yorkers were reading the news on their cell phones and wondering aloud why Phil Jackson would hire a novice instead of a veteran coach -- or, better yet, why Phil Jackson didn't decide to coach the Knicks himself.
Nothing personal against Derek Fisher, just business. The business of being a fan of a franchise that's been waiting a whole lot longer than New York's hockey team to win it all.
The same kind of fans had the same kind of questions and concerns about Steve Kerr, another Jackson disciple with no coaching experience who almost took this job first. Almost. Now it's Fisher cashing in the way Kerr cashed in with Golden State, proving that it's a really good thing to be a heady role player with five championship rings.
Especially if some or all of those rings were earned under the detached gaze of the greatest winner in major American sports.
Jackson was usually right in his time with Michael Jordan's Bulls and Kobe Bryant's Lakers, blowing by Red Auerbach with the 11 titles won on star power and the principles of his cherished triangle offense. But that was Zen, and this is now.
This is Jackson's chance to prove he can build a team, and build a coach along with it. You'll remember Auerbach kept poking Jackson in the ribs on his road to history, assuring everyone the Zen Master wasn't as much a gourmet chef as he was a lucky soul who was handed delicious prepackaged meals and merely asked to slap them in the microwave.
Maybe that old cigar smoke Auerbach blew into Jackson's face ultimately inspired him to take on a massive rebuild; maybe not. Maybe Jackson figured he couldn't turn down $60 million of Jim Dolan's money, even if he had no experience as a team president and no idea if he could coexist with his owner half as easily as Rangers president and GM Glen Sather does with Dolan.
"For Phil," said one NBA official who knows him well, "this could be the easiest and best-paying part-time job in the world."
Jackson swears he won't be spending most of his time on any California beach; he swears he's in it for real. He wants to mold a head coach in his image, and when Kerr jilted him and jilted him good, Fisher was there on the rebound.
Kerr helped Jackson win three championships in Chicago, and Fisher helped him win five in L.A. So on that scoreboard, advantage Plan B.
Fisher was always a wise and opportunistic point man, a guy who was never afraid to take the big shot in the big game or to assume a leadership role for a players association in dire need. If he fails in New York, it won't be because the market scared him off.
But as someone who has never done this before, Fisher still represents a major gamble. Kerr was handed a credible contender with Golden State, and last year Jason Kidd walked off the Knicks' roster and into a brave new world in Brooklyn, where he could fall back on the leadership provided by a pair of proud former Celtics, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.
Fisher? He gets Carmelo Anthony -- assuming the Knicks re-sign him -- and a roster that failed to make the playoffs in a dreadful Eastern Conference, a roster Jackson called "clumsy" before he landed on Dolan's payroll.
The mess would seem to scream for a veteran coach, especially with the team president a newbie himself. Jackson could've made a strong play for Mark Jackson, a New Yorker's New Yorker, or for Jeff Van Gundy, the last coach to lead the Knicks to the NBA Finals and a potential candidate who said he was willing to listen if his old buddy happened to call. Jackson could've made the kind of run at John Calipari that Cleveland made, or he could've chased after a college coach with two national championships instead of one: Florida's Billy Donovan, who grew up in Long Island worshiping the Knicks.
He decided Kerr, then Fisher, were the safer bets, and perhaps Fisher will turn out to be better at this job than any experienced NBA or college coach the Knicks could've pursued. At the very least, Fisher deserves a fair-and-square chance to succeed.
But if Jackson was looking to match what Pat Riley accomplished with Erik Spoelstra after Riley hired and fired Stan Van Gundy, he needs to remember something: Spoelstra had spent more than a dozen years in the Miami Heat system, working his way from video coordinator to advance scout to assistant coach, before Riley promoted him to head coach in 2008.
Spoelstra was also hand-delivered LeBron James in the summer of 2010, after two straight first-round losses in the playoffs. Chances are, Spoelstra wouldn't have survived long enough to reach one Finals, never mind four in a row, if Riley didn't sign up James and Chris Bosh that summer to partner with Dwyane Wade.
Of course, Spoelstra never played in the NBA, something Fisher did for 18 distinguished seasons. Fisher can certainly make the claim that he learned more on the court about running a team than Spoelstra or any non-player could learn breaking down tape in a video room.
Jackson needs to help him either way. He needs to make the free-agent score in 2015 or 2016 that Riley made in 2010. In other words, against the odds, he needs to persuade James or Kevin Durant to leave their home sweet homes.
For now, that's a distant dream. Jackson just made his first significant move as designated savior of the Knicks, and it was a gamble, a big one. He thinks he can start building a team by building a coach by the name of Derek Fisher.
If he wants to prove the late, great Auerbach wrong in New York, hey, Phil Jackson had better be right on this one.

Schindler's List (US - BD RA)
Gabe revisits Spielberg's first grown-up film in HD, including comparison caps...
On the third episode of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's Extras – a satirical look behind-the-scenes of the modern movie-making machine from the point of view of underpaid film extras – Kate Winslet played herself starring in faux-movie about a nun hiding Jews during the Holocaust. The joke here is something about the easy road to an Oscar for any actor willing to be a part of a Holocaust drama (coincidentally, Winslet actually won an Oscar for her role in The Reader, where she played an illiterate Nazi concentration camp guard). At this point in mainstream movie history, it's easy to make these jokes, because we have been saturated by Oscar-baiting Holocaust melodramas. This saturation would never have been possible without the success of Steven Spielberg's Schindler's List. In the early years following WWII and the discovery of the concentration/extermination camps, the Holocaust was mostly either ignored or pushed to the boundaries of mainstream period films. Hollywood eventually took an interest with movies like Edward Dmytryk's The Juggler, Stanley Kramer's Judgment at Nuremberg, Sidney Lumet's The Pawnbroker, and Max Nosseck's Singer in the Dark, all of which dealt with the tragedy in hindsight and flashback. The ever-popular story of Anne Frank was twice adapted before the 1970s, but Anne and her family never actually witness the horrors of the gas chambers.
Then came the '70s and with it the advent of Nazisploitation. Celebrated movies like Bob Fosse's Cabaret and Liliana Cavani's The Night Porter dealt with Nazi guilt without spending screen time on the intricacies of extermination, while exploitation filmmakers found the 'courage' to make notorious bad taste 'classics,' like Don Edmonds' Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS, Sergio Garrone's SS Experiment Camp, and Cesare Canevari's Gestapo's Last Orgy. Some might say these films are actually less exploitative than post- Schindler films that soften the horrors of the Holocaust (many of the Nazisploitation films have shocking roots in historical reality), but there aren't a lot of people jumping to defend their lack of tact. The grindhouse finally gave way to mainstream in the form of a miniseries, entitled, plainly, Holocaust and directed by Marvin J. Chomsky. Released only one year after Roots took aim at another, even longer ignored historical horror called slavery, the success of Holocaust seemed to prove that American audiences were interested in the subject – they just weren't interested in harsh realities. Then, in the '80s, Holocaust star Meryl Streep birthed the Likable Nazi = Oscar Gold phenomenon when she appeared in Alan J. Pakula's Sophie's Choice, which, again, mostly dealt with the Holocaust in flashback and personalized the tragedy.
Even Spielberg, the prominent (happens to be Jewish) filmmaker of our times, had his doubts when it came to creating a mainstream film that could effectively display the grotesque terrors of the Nazi extermination machine without entirely alienating his audience. Spielberg's obsession with WWII permeates throughout his entire filmography, which in itself could be perceived as a lead-up to Schindler's List, but the obvious 'prequel' would be 1987's Empire of the Sun – a still underrated look at the somewhat less terrifying life in a WWII-era Japanese internment camp (well, less terrifying for the British kid Christian Bale plays, in reality the Japanese were committing many of their own atrocities against their mostly Chinese prisoners, specifically in the notorious Unit 731 research facility). Apparently still unprepared by Schindler's List-lite, Spielberg wasted some time on an Indiana Jones sequel (with a strong WWII influence) and made two of his worst movies – Always and Hook – before finding the courage to couple Schindler's List's production with one of his biggest mainstream slam-dunks – Jurassic Park. Even if Schindler's List had been a failure, he would have a surefire popular hit on his hands (as a producer, Spielberg considered pawning director duties off on Martin Scorsese, Roman Polanski, and even Billy Wilder, who worked on the script and whose influence can be seen in the film's surprisingly funny moments). The important thing for many people isn't the time it took, or the fact that the film wore the director out so much that he didn't make another great movie again for another five years, but the fact that a filmmaker with the clout and popular acceptance of Steven Spielberg was able to bring a mostly honest portrayal of The Shoah to multiplexes across the world.
Schindler's List's sometimes unfortunate legacy aside (Roberto Benigni's Life is Beautiful, Peter Kassovitz's Jakob the Liar, Mark Herman's The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, for example), it is a massive achievement in filmmaking and one that, despite an last minute influx of sap and an unneeded documentary coda, deserves the accolades it received over the last two decades (that's right, in case you weren't feeling old enough today, Schindler's List turns 20 this year). Like many popular films about touchy subjects, Schindler's List has gone through a period of varying acceptance. Originally, audiences were so moved by its shocking, sorrowful images that the idea of saying anything negative in regards to the film was more or less an unbreakable taboo. Only the bravest/most obnoxious critics and filmmakers dared to discuss shortcomings in tone or Spielberg's apparent loss of nerve during the film's climax. Then it became a bit of a joke, thanks largely in part to an episode of Seinfeld where Jerry is chided for making out while watching the movie. By the time Schindler's List won seven Oscars backlash was is inevitable. Now we have two decades worth of perspective on the film and enough truly terrible, Holocaust Chic, Oscar-bait pretenders to revisit Spielberg's film without the burden of guilt, resentment, or expectations based on The Beard's pre- Schindler films.
Spielberg had many choices when it came to visualizing the Holocaust on the big screen. Spielberg and cinematographer Janusz Kaminski (who Spielberg would continue to collaborate with in the years following Schindler's List's release) chose a spontaneous, cinéma vérité look. They didn't spend a lot of time prepping or lighting shots. Black and white stock was also chosen in an effort to make the film appear 'timeless' and stark, which was in keeping with most images available from the actual event. What is often forgotten in the mix is the fact that Schindler's List is the only black and white film to crack the top ten grossing film charts since Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein in 1974. Every time I see the film, I'm shocked at how accurately Spielberg and Kaminski capture the period look. Recognizable actors and modern sound techniques aside, it would be very easy to convince even an expert that Schindler's List was shot early in the post-war era. The harsh white and black contrasts and grainy grey diffusion aren't faux-noir, either – they're authentic-looking period images.
This newly remastered 1080p, 1:85:1 transfer is precisely what we were all hoping for when this Blu-ray release was first promised. Ever since the Spartacus debacle, videophiles have been unfortunately suspicious of Universal's more prestigious catalogue releases. First things first – I see no overt signs of DNR enhancement here. The wonderful grain has all been perfectly preserved without any grotesque smoothing effects. Kaminski uses a lot of wide angles and deep-set details, but diffuses most of the finest textures pretty well in his soon-to-be-trademarked fashion. The limits of the 35mm, B&W stock also keeps the backgrounds from ever appearing needle-point sharp and leads to some understandable edge enhancement, but, a handful of really dark shots aside, there are no unnatural-looking sharpening effects. The detail increase over DVD is not mind-blowing, of course, because certain limits are built into the film's style. The bigger upgrade is in the purity of complex patterns, which were previously damaged by bayer effects and similar compression noise. Now only the most aggressively decorative tweed jacket shows signs of moiré effects. Despite being generally more purely monochromatic than the DVD, this transfer is also a bit warmer in its grays (the brief sequence where Germans discover Jews hiding in the walls and floors of the ghetto late at night has some bursts of faded yellow that probably aren't an intended part of the equation). Blacks are noticeably deeper than the DVD release as well, without crushing the finer details of the darker grays (which are pretty muddy on the DVD). Kaminski's patented smoky blends feature nothing significant in terms of banding effects.
I remember Schindler's List as a largely low-impact film in terms of audio design, but this uncompressed, DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack proves those memories false. I should've remembered that it was an early digital sound production and that Spielberg's sound designers would want to show off their new toys and skills as often as possible. Jurassic Park was DTS' first rock concert, but Schindler's List was its first proper symphony. The sound design is rarely aggressive, save some punchy steam engines and factory machinery; rather everything is encapsulated with natural warmth that gives all six channels plenty to do without drawing attention to the modernity of it all. The subtle cacophony that flutters throughout the speakers doesn't spike oddly or sound 'canned,' which is certainly better than the norm for the early days of boisterous digital mixes. The use of handheld camera and tracking shots gives the sound plenty of chances to move off-camera noises around the audience. Good examples include the party sequence that introduces playboy Schindler to the audience, sequences of German soldiers shouting as they round up Jews from the ghetto (the crack of gunshots through the rear channels widen the scope as things grow quiet), and the horrifying thunder of Auschwitz. The flatter, strictly dialogue-based scenes are certainly drier and feature their share of minor pops and fizzles, but there's no real high-end distortion to speak of, nor are there signs of the material being compressed. John Williams' score has its down moments when it comes to the more obviously melodramatic moments (I'm not a huge fan of the New Age-y acoustic guitars here), but works incredibly well while moving the film along its narrative track, especially during the early montages, where he uses traditional Jewish melodies and rhythm signatures. The best thing about the score is that it's entirely absent for much of the film. Williams and Spielberg don't cram music in where it isn't needed.
Spielberg has made it pretty clear over the years that he isn't interested in audio commentaries. He's also hinted that he's uncomfortable talking about Schindler's List altogether, specifically in terms of his behind-the-scenes process, so the lack of special features on this release is not surprising. It's still disappointing, though, especially considering the wealth of documentary material the USC Shoah Foundation has created since the film's release. Still, not unexpected. What is a little obnoxious, though, is that there are literally zero extras on the Blu-ray, unless you count BD-Live links to Universal trailers. All the special features are delegated to the second of the two included DVD discs, which means that Universal just reprinted the old discs and crammed them in the box set. These include Voices from the List (1:77:30, SD) a feature documentary with testimonies from the surviving Schindler Jews, USC Shoah Foundation Story (4:40, SD), and a sort of promo spot for the foundation with Spielberg, and About Iwitness (3:50, HD), another promo spot for the USC SF's Internet archive.
Schindler's List is still a great film and twenty years after it was released the minor shortcomings are starting to fade into the even-handed, honest approach, powerful performances, expert editing (…right up until the end), and stunning photography. Universal's remastered Blu-ray fulfills all realistic desires in audio and visual departments, but they and Spielberg have missed another chance at retrospective special features and new historical documentaries, which is a minor disappointment.

If anyone is interested, the colour segments that bookend the film and the sequence with the girl in the red coat were shot on colour film with the colour removed/altered. For the 35mm prints, the colour sequences (and film) were physically hot spliced into each print.
I'm speaking as a projectionist (who has assembled this film and screened it many moons ago) which is how I come to know this.

About one in ten adults in the United States suffer from depression. Women experience depression at twice the rate of men. Clinical depression is different from the regular ups and downs of life. After a disappointing experience, death of a loved one, or other loss it is very common to feel some of the typical symptoms of depression such as:
But when these symptoms are very intense and last for long stretches of time and/or occur without any life changing event, they are likely the symptoms of clinical depression.
There are three main types of clinical depression each of which has a slightly different set of symptoms:
Major Depression - In major depression, sometimes referred to as unipolar or clinical depression, people have some or all of the symptoms listed below for at least 2 weeks but frequently for several months or longer. Episodes of the illness can occur once, twice, or several times in a lifetime.
Dysthymia - In dysthymia, the same symptoms are present though milder and last at least 2 years. People with dysthymia are frequently lacking in zest and enthusiasm for life, living a joyless and fatigued existence that seems almost a natural outgrowth of their personalities. They also can experience major depressive episodes.
Bipolar Disorder or Manic-Depression- This condition involves disruptive cycles of depressive symptoms that alternate with mania (extremely elevated mood). During manic episodes, people may become overly active, talkative, euphoric, irritable, spend money irresponsibly, and get involved in sexual misadventures. In some people, a milder form of mania, called hypomania, alternates with depressive episodes. Unlike other mood disorders, women and men are equally vulnerable to bipolar disorder; however, women with bipolar disorder tend to have more episodes of depression and fewer episodes of mania or hypomania.
Symptoms of Major Depression and Dysthymia are:
Symptoms of Mania include:
There are several general causes of depression including:
Many causes of depression that are specific to women are associated with hormonal changes, which may partially explain why depression is so much more prevalent in women than in men. Common hormonal changes in women include:
Talk to you doctor - If you suspect you are suffering from clinical depression it is important to discuss you symptoms and feelings with your healthcare provider. He or she can refer you to a specialist who can help you diagnose, treat, and manage your depression.
Get Treatment - In addition to counseling, many antidepressant medications exist that can supplement your treatment. These drugs inhibit or promote the production and release of certain chemicals in the brain. Medications are often used to correct a brain chemistry imbalance that may be having an adverse effect on your mood.

We've been brown-bagging it all week at Parenting.com and on our sister site Saveur.com, and while our healthy packed lunch ideas and two-ingredient sandwiches are great ideas, we wondered what the pros pack in their kids' lunches. Saveur.com spoke with four food bloggers for their best lunch ideas:
Phyllis Grant of the Dash and Bella goes for simple comfort foods with a grilled cheese sandwiches, veggies and chocolate chip cookies (pictured). Classic!
More blogger lunch ideas:
- Elizabeth Stark and Brian Campbell of Brooklyn Supper jazz up old standbys with new flavors, like a roast beef sandwich with tomato jam instead of slices
- Katie Workman from Mom 100 sticks with standbys like pretzels and carrots
- John Donohue of Stay at Stove Dad packs sandwiches from frozen bread, which defrosts during the day

The petite, Missouri S&T blond was cooking a pancake as I walked through the kitchen to the laundry room, her roommates scattered around a kitchen table discussing the best way to remove a bee sting.
The petite, Missouri S&T blond was cooking a pancake as I walked through the kitchen to the laundry room, her roommates scattered around a kitchen table discussing the best way to remove a bee sting.
Her landlord, Reverend Dale Wands, had called me earlier in the week to get a honeybee colony off his rental property.
Hundreds of honeybees were gathered around the cable junction box and disappearing – it could be into the junction cable box area, or all through the building wall.
"Well, let's find out where they are" said Sam Elia. With his electric jigsaw, Sam started to cut a hole in the closed off laundry room drywall, located behind the outside cable box.
Sam is a beekeeping friend of mine from Meramec Valley Beekeepers Association, Bourbon, MO who does "cut outs," or removes honeybee colonies, provided he can get to them. He never knows what he is "getting into" until he visits the property and literally follows the bees.
Removing the dry wall revealed the most amazing white honeycomb hanging sideways from the wooden support beams. The space was densely-packed, which from a distance looked more like insulation than the inside of a bee colony.
One of the property managers stopped by while we were working and said the bees had been around for 3 years. It was possible the honeybees had more honeycomb stored elsewhere but the challenge was how far to remove the drywall, and possibly siding.
Periodically there are sensational stories that make national news about bees taking over a house. Africanized honeybees notwithstanding, regular honeybees are not predisposed to harass anyone. They want to build honeycomb, raise bees and store honey for winter. As their possible habitat continues to be reduced, they are going to try to make alternate housing arrangements.
Honeybees were brought by European settlers to North America in 1622. Today they contribute about 15 billion dollars to US agriculture's efficiency through pollinating services. Every third bite of healthy food we eat is pollinated by bees - mostly honeybees.
"I heard a radio show a few weeks back about how important they are to our food supply," Wands said. "I hope you can save them."
With a modified shop vaccum, Sam and his wife Nora tackled corralling the outside bees. When the screened box that served as a bag was full, we dumped the bees into the small portable hive with comb I held on frames with rubber bands, and waited for the bees to return to the junction box before gently vacuuming them again.
The key is to get the queen, although it's hard to see her among agitated bees. At one point, Sam spotted a bunch of bees huddled in the box corner, a sign that bees might be protecting the one queen.
When only a handful of bees remained, I - ve-ry care-full-y – drove my car with a box full of frazzled bees home and waited for Sam and Nora to join me.
We found a good spot in the garden and pick-axed a flat area. Once it was stable, I moved the frames of honeycomb into the hive and dumped the screened box full of bees.
"Nurse bees will quickly go to work carrying for the larvae," Sam said as I watched some bees fly off. The rest seemed to scurry down into the hive frames so I quickly shut the hive and let them find their way around their new home.
If the queen bee is with them, they will settle in quickly. If we missed capturing her, they will grow a new queen in a month. In either case, they will spend the rest of this season re-making the honeycomb that was destroyed in the junction box and hopefully saving honey to eat over winter.
I double-checked the property a couple of days later, hoping my garden was not within the bees' 2-mile flying radius. I only found a couple dozen forager bees hanging out at the property corner.
And the renters? At least one is disappointed.
"I didn't mind the bees," the pancake cook told me. "They gave us free cable."

Hollywood is working on new movies featuring Superman and Batman and they will give the iconic DC heroes 16 theatrically released feature films between them.
But Wonder Woman, the third most famous name in the DC vault, will celebrate her 70th anniversary this December with exactly zero feature films as well as the lingering ignominy of the live-action television pilot that NBC and Warner Bros financed but then deemed too awful to air.
What's the problem? That's one question our Geoff Boucher asked writer Brian Azzarello and artist Cliff Chiang, the new creative team chronicling the adventures of the Amazon princess in the pages of DC Comics.
The pair, who took over the title under The New 52 initiative to revamp or revitalize their entire DC line, caused a stir right away by changing the heroine's classic origins story and giving her something that she's never had in any of her adventures in any medium — a father (who, it turns out, just happens to be the Greek god-king Zeus).
GB: There are some interesting things to balance with Wonder Woman; her heritage makes her a sort of hero of antiquity, but she needs to appeal to today's young readers. There's also the balance between the portrayal of her femininity and her warrior spirit, which seems to trip up some creators.
BA: It's a challenge but it's not insurmountable. When you look at antiquity that's shiny, it gets boring. Look, antiquity has been around a long time there's a lot of dents and bruises in it and a lot of dirt. I think the whole white toga thing — yi-yuh-yi.
CC: We're striving for something that speaks to a certain timelessness but at the same time doesn't get bogged down with older notions of the Greek gods. We've done away with togas and sandals and stuff like that in order to make you look at them with new eyes. We want the characters to look and sound different, we want them to act different than you would expect if you were watching "Clash of the Titans" or something like that. The fact that all of the Greek myths are really rooted in human behavior is great. Universal themes get played over and over again and Brian is so great at writing that kind of story. It makes it easier to keep it as timeless stories as opposed to stories that are dressed up to be ancient … sometimes we go for the real fantastic too and sometimes it's more mundane and the fun is in having that huge swing.
GB: This is a character that dates back to the Roosevelt administration and all the history can be a vast resource to draw from but, I suspect, it could also be somewhat paralyzing when you're trying to decide on your tone and responsibility to the heritage. What was your view coming in — and did you do a lot of research?
CC: I looked back at some of it but I didn't go through it obsessively. I wanted to see some of what had been done before but with the mandate of this [company initiative] and its need to feel new, it was less of a priority. We knew we were going in a different direction with things. The fact that Jim Lee had already designed the new costume [last summer], that part of the problem was solved for me and more of it was trying to figure out how to design the gods and the rest of her supporting cast so they would fit the tone of the book.
BA: I steered clear of a lot of it. We wanted to do something new. We didn't really want to bring too much of the old stuff. There are certainly nods to it but I'm sure there will people who will disagree when I say that we've been respectful. We're kind of forging our own trail right now. We've cleaned her up. You can describe who she is now. She's got the specific description now just like Batman or Superman. She's the daughter of a god. It's weird, through the years people don't have a strong grasp of her. In the general popular culture, she's huge, not that anybody really knows anything about her. I've asked people –what do you know about Wonder Woman and they say, 'The Amazon, right?' And that's about as far as it goes. They don't know what her origin is. The idea of the character is bigger than the character herself. She's recognizable but not known. And when that happens they go to the side stuff, they talk about [the accessories] like the lasso and the bracelets.
GB: That's a big change. The classic version of the Wonder Woman origin was that the Queen Hippolyta longed for a daughter and shaped a youngster out of clay and the goddess Aphrodite then brought that statue to life. You guys are going in a very different direction by making her the daughter of Zeus, which means she's the half-sister of Heracles, Perseus and Helen of Troy.
CC: If you went to the average person on the street and showed them a picture of Wonder Woman they would recognize her immediately. Ask those people her origin story and some of them might know the clay story but many, many others would not know that at all. That's not a problem you have with Superman or Batman; everyone knows their origin. By making her the daughter of Zeus, we've gotten a big driving force behind our story. It gives her a motivation and it's a key to character that we now feel is very important. She's a child of the gods who defends us from them, in the same way that Superman is from another planet trying to save humanity and Batman is the orphan who is protecting us from the criminals who killed his parents.
BA: It's going to be key to a lot of things. We can't just make this change and leave it hanging. It's going to inform the first year of stories. She's got a whole family she's got to meet. Some are looking forward to meeting her and others aren't. We're heading toward the family reunion. Ever been to one of those? At the same time she is protecting this young woman Zola, who happens to be carrying a baby — we don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet — who is another one of the children of Zeus. So she's protecting her half-brother or half-sister who is on the way.
GB: Wonder Woman has been pretty stiff at times in the comics. Some writers and artists don't seem to know what to do with her and they treat her like a museum piece they're afraid they might break.
CC: I agree and it goes to what you mentioned before about classic femininity versus Amazonian femininity and that crosses some people up. A lot of people have these ideas about Wonder Woman and that she would act in a certain way– very prim and proper, almost Victorian notion of femininity — and we're trying to bring to something that brings it closer to an older warrior culture. Wonder Woman is extremely self-confident. When we introduce her in the first issue and she's in her bedroom and she's sleeping in the nude, that's not a sex appeal thing, it's a character thing. She's so confident in herself of course she's going to sleep in the nude and the wardrobe she has across the room isn't going to be full of clothes, it's going to be full of weapons.
BA: She has a really dry sense of humor. A lot of these characters in comics, if they're funny it's because they're wiseguys. That's the way people write them. I wanted to write it right a little more seriously. She's very confident so she makes jokes and they kind of go over other people's heads.
GB: Superman and Batman are taking flight again on the big screen but Wonder Woman is still waiting her turn. It sort of boggles the mind especially when you consider the fact that Ghost Rider, Swamp Thing, the Punisher and Hellboy each have made it to the screen two or more times. Do you think that speaks to something in the audience or in the creative world? In other words, is it the fact that we don't want to see a movie bad enough or is it the fact that Hollywood can't make it good enough?
CC: Wow, that's a big one. I would say that the audience has wanted different things out of a Wonder Woman movie over the years and that the creative side hasn't quite figured out the way go. Wonder Woman presents a thorny question: How are you going to show the premier female superhero to the audience in a way that will satisfy that audience? I think now is the time for a Wonder Woman movie. I think it would be great. I think people's ideas of what a woman can do and the way women heroes can be presented is much broader. You think back to the old TV show, it was pretty campy, but it was the '70s. The thing is Lynda Carter never made fun of Wonder Woman, which was great and it's one of the reasons the show really inspired a lot of people to fall in love with Wonder Woman. She did it with a straight face and one of the things we want to do is sort of present this no-nonsense woman warrior. That's not to say she isn't compassionate, she's just ready to get down to business.
BA: I don't know, they like her on TV. At the theater? I don't know the answer. I think when people go to comic-book movies they're going with a preconceived notion of the characters, although I guess "Iron Man" broke that mold. But you go to a Superman movie or a Batman movie and you know who they are. What sold the first Superman movie was the fact that he could fly and the special effects were so great — 'You'll believe a man can fly,' that was the tagline. They are kind of these clear niches where they work, Batman in Gotham City and has seriously creepy villains, Superman is in Metropolis and he fights with the smartest man on Earth. With Wonder Woman, I don't think people know what they would get out of that right now. Lyle Waggoner as Steve Trevor?

Following a U.S. Justice Department investigation and a civil lawsuit, a group of software engineers employed by Adobe Systems Inc., Apple Inc., Google Inc., Intel Corp., Intuit Inc., Lucasfilm and Pixar filed a class-action lawsuit challenging those companies' use of agreements not to "cold call" each others' employees for recruitment purposes.
The agreements were bilateral and involved the active participation of a company under the control of Steve Jobs and/or a company whose board shared at least one member of Apple's board of directors. The agreements allegedly were negotiated, executed, monitored and policed by senior executives for each company, who also actively concealed each agreement.
The Justice Department concluded that the companies had reached "facially anticompetitive agreements" that eliminated a form of competition and were "naked restraints of trade that were per se unlawful under the antitrust laws."
Ruling on a motion to dismiss, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California held that the plaintiffs had alleged the requisite who, what, where and when of the conspiracy sufficient to withstand a motion to dismiss.
The court observed that "the bilateral agreements were not limited by geography, job function, product group or time period, and were not related to a collaboration between the defendants.
The court also held that the employees alleged an antitrust injury, explaining "that, where, as here, an employee is the direct and intended object of an employer's anticompetitive conduct, that employee has standing to sue for antitrust injury." In re High-Tech Emp. Antitrust Litig. (N.D. Cal., No. 5:11-cv-02509, April 18, 2012).
IMPACT: Agreements made between companies that restrict competition between their employees may violate antitrust laws.

What is the evidence for offering the prayer for rain (salaat al-istisqa')?
Praise be to Allah.
Offering prayers for rain (salaat al-istisqa') is Sunnah, as confirmed by saheeh hadeeths and the practice of the early generations of Islam. Ibn Qudaamah said: Prayer for rain is a confirmed Sunnah, proven by the practice of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and of his successors (the caliphs – may Allah be pleased with them).
End quote from al-Mughni, 2/148
Abu Dawood (1165), at-Tirmidhi (558), an-Nasaa'i (1506) and Ibn Maajah (1266) narrated that Ishaaq ibn Abdillah ibn Kinaanah said: al-Waleed ibn 'Uqbah, who was the governor of Madinah, sent me to ask Ibn 'Abbaas about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) for rain (istisqa'). He said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) went out wearing modest clothes, walking humbly and beseeching Allah, until he reached the prayer place, where he ascended the minbar, but he did not give a khutbah like this khutbah of yours; rather he continued to offer supplication (du'aa'), beseech Allah and recite takbeer, then he prayed two rak'ahs as he used to pray at Eid.
Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, etc

And Allah knows best.
