Scholar was 'hooked' on religion
Director of Centre for Religious Studies at the University of Toronto was lauded for important introductory works
By Ron CSILLAG Special to The Globe and Mail Monday, March 31, 2003 - Page R7
Like members of the clergy and their early epiphanies, scholars of religion can often pinpoint the instant they decided to pursue their calling.
For Willard OXTOBY, one of the world's foremost students of comparative religion and founding director of the University of Toronto's Centre for Religious Studies, a defining moment came at the tender age of five, when his father, a teacher of Old Testament at a Presbyterian seminary, taught his son to memorize the 23rd psalm, in Hebrew. One night, while an advanced Hebrew class met at the Oxtoby home, young Willard was summoned, in his pyjamas, to recite the psalm.
"See?" his father told the class. "Even a kid can do Hebrew, so get on with it."
A decade later, another breakthrough: While accompanying his father on a preaching visit, the elder OXTOBY recounted one of Jesus's parables, and then interrupted his exposition to say, "Of course that was just a story. Can a thing be true that never happened?"
About a year before his March 6 death in Toronto of colon cancer at age 69, the son remembered the father's blunt words as a turning point: "I can still recall the colour of paint on the wall at that instant. And thanks to the right question coming at the right time in my life, I've never had a problem personally handling the symbolic dimensions of religion."
He did more than merely handle. Through over 40 years of probing, analyzing, observing and writing in quantities that left colleagues astonished, Prof. OXTOBY bequeathed a legacy of scholarship that's been described as passionate and exuberant. From Anabaptism to Zoroastrianism, he dove headlong into all the world's major and minor religious traditions and had the ability, so often demonstrated, of connecting the dots between them.
"His command of detail was amazing," eulogized his former student, Alan SEGAL, who now teaches Jewish studies at Barnard College in New York, "all with specific knowledge of how it made religions fit together and help explain what religion was all about."
A fixture at the University of Toronto's religion department for 28 years, Prof. OXTOBY was a vocal proponent of interfaith dialogue, believing, as his friend, the Swiss Catholic renegade Hans KUNG, that there will be no peace on the planet until there is peace among its inhabitants' religions. In the specific case of Islam, he called for the need to understand the faith's diversity: "Lumping people of any group together, as if they're all alike, is one basic strategy of prejudice."
Prof. OXTOBY knew his share of grief -- he was twice married and twice widowed -- but he never lost his own footing. "He was optimistic and curious about everything until his final day, " said his son David, an executive with Ontario Power Generation Inc.
Willard Gurdon OXTOBY was born July 29, 1933, in Kentfield, Calif., just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, into a family of scholars. Both his father and grandfather were ministers and teachers of the Old Testament, and he spent a year between high school and college accompanying his father on a sabbatical to Europe and the Middle East. "I was hooked," he would recall. "The world of the Bible, both its archeology and its current events, came alive vividly."
After graduating from Stanford University with a degree in philosophy, he completed masters and doctoral degrees within a year of each other at Princeton, specializing in pre-Islamic Arabic inscriptions. In 1958, he married Layla JURJI, the daughter of one of his Princeton professors, and the couple spent two years in Jerusalem, with Prof. OXTOBY as part of the team that studied the Dead Sea Scrolls.
His first teaching job was in Montreal, where he launched McGill University's inaugural course on Judaism. But after a few years, he realized he needed to explore the influence of modern-day Iran on the religion of the Hebrews following their Babylonian exile. He returned to school, this time to Harvard, to study Zoroastrianism, an ancient faith born in Persia, possibly the world's first monotheistic religion. So expert would he become that he was made an honorary member of the Zoroastrian Society of Ontario.
He taught at Yale University for five years before accepting a full professorship at the University of Toronto's Trinity College in 1971, a relationship that would last until his retirement in 1999. In between were a slew of visiting professorships, appointments, awards and fellowships, and authorship of dozens of entries for dictionaries and encyclopedias on world religions.
Reprising his travels with his father, Prof. OXTOBY took his wife and teenage son and daughter, Susan, on an around-the-world sabbatical beginning in 1976 to study Zoroastrians in the diaspora. The clan lived in London, India and southeast Asia. The experience "definitely changed my perspective on the transient nature of North American culture," recalled Susan, director of programming at Cinematheque Ontario.
Cancer claimed Prof. OXTOBY's first wife in 1980. The following year, he married Julia CHING, a Shanghai-born onetime Catholic nun and formidable scholar of Chinese religions and neo-Confucian philosophy. The two formed an academic partnership at University of Toronto that produced a slew of monographs and articles, before cancer took Prof. CHING in October, 2001.
Prof. OXTOBY was probably best known for two introductory volumes he edited, World Religions: Western Traditions and World Religions: Eastern Traditions, in which he wrote chapters on Christianity, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism and general entries. Both have been hailed for their lucidity -- examples of his ability to render complex matters accessible without dumbing them down. He was working on a condensed, one-volume version of the books at the time of his death, along with a multitude of other projects.
In all, he travelled to more than 100 countries and studied over a dozen languages, including Arabic, Ugaritic and Sanskrit.
He was fond of recounting several humorous firsts in his career: That he was ordained a Presbyterian minister without actually attending divinity school; that he gathered the inscriptional data for his dissertation in one day; and that he smuggled pork sausages into Israel.
A deeply religious man personally and a biblical scholar too, Prof. OXTOBY never thought of himself as anything other than a Christian -- but as a comparatavist, never an exclusivist: "At no time have I ever supposed that God could not also reach out to other persons in their traditions and communities as fully and as satisfyingly as He has to me in mine," he concluded in his 1983 book, The Meaning of Other Faiths. "My Christianity, including my sense of Christian ministry, has commanded that I be open to learn from the faith of others."
He extended that openness to his own funeral: "He wanted it to be non-eucharistic," his son David said. "He wanted everyone to feel welcome."
Prof. OXTOBY even had a snappy comeback to pious Christians who asked whether he'd been saved: "Well, I'll be damned if I'm not."

Mo. Man Accused of Dismembering Man, Throwing Arms
KIRKSVILLE, Mo. - A northeast Missouri man is accused of killing and dismembering a man, then hurling his victim's arms at witnesses.
The Adair County prosecutor's office has charged 49-year-old Paul Potter, of Kirksville, with second-degree murder, second-degree arson and tampering with a motor vehicle.
Police have not released the victim's name.
Police officers arrested Potter on Sunday after officers responding to a call of a vehicle fire saw him throw the arms toward bystanders. Police said fires also were burning in two apartments, and that the dismembered body was inside one of them.
Potter is being held on $1 million bond.
A public defender assigned to Potter's case didn't immediately return a call seeking comment Tuesday.
Kirksville is about 200 miles northwest of St. Louis.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4 (UPI) -- The Princeton Review released its 2014 college rankings Monday, placing Syracuse University in the top spot for best party school.
The upstate New York school bumped the University of Iowa to the No. 2 spot. Other schools that made the list include: University of California at Santa Barbara, West Virginia University, Penn State University, Bucknell University and the University of Florida.
The Princeton Review said the list is compiled based on the ratings of 130,000 students at 379 top colleges who rate their schools on dozens of topics and write about their campus experiences.
"Every college in our book offers outstanding academics," said Princeton Review Senior Vice President Robert Franek. "These colleges differ significantly in their program offerings, campus culture, locales, and cost. Our purpose is not to crown one college 'best' overall or to rank these distinctive schools 1 to 379 on any single topic. We present our 62 ranking lists to give applicants the broader base of campus feedback to choose the college that's best for them."
"The Best 379 Colleges" list has been published annually since 1992.

The 76ers worked out former Syracuse point guard Michael Carter-Williams over the weekend, a league source has confirmed.
The 6-foot-6, 184-pounder, who left the Orange after his sophomore season, is expected to be a lottery pick in Thursday's NBA draft at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The Sixers have a first-round pick (11th overall) and two second-round selections, the 35th and 42d picks.
Carter-Williams could fill the need for a backup point guard. He was fifth nationally in assists (7.3 per game) and fourth in steals (2.8) this past season at Syracuse. The Hamilton, Mass., native also averaged 11.9 points and 3.4 turnovers.
Carter-Williams is an excellent passer with great court vision and is extremely active on defense, but he needs to add strength and cut down his turnovers.

This is post #24 (last one!) in the GeneaBloggers Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories.
Christmas Eve traditions have varied over the years in my family, depending on who was hosting, when we were traveling, etc.
One Christmas Eve that stands out in my mind was during my senior year of college. My sister flew to Washington, D.C., from Albuquerque and then we drove down to Norris, Tenn. (it's near Knoxville), to see our mom. In a snow storm.
Our route took us down I-81 in Virginia — a truck route notorious for its two lanes in each direction through mountains and valleys. As I type this (on 12/19), I-81 is shut down during the current snowstorm due to a traffic accident last night. While it usually offers scenic views, the drive itself isn't always pretty.
That particular Christmas Eve, the roads were so icy that drivers were taking each bridge one car at a time — there was no telling how your car was going to handle the road conditions. And there were a lot of bridges.
When we made it to Lexington, Va., we stopped for lunch at the Wendy's there and then continued on our way. Two or three harrowing hours later, after many a dicey ice patch, my sister gasped. She had left her purse at the Wendy's.
I thought about our options for a minute and said, "Carrie, I love you, but we're not going back for that purse today."
When we finally reached Mom's house, 12 hours after we started the drive (it's usually seven to eight hours from D.C. to Knoxville), my sister was able to call the Wendy's. They had found her purse and had it stored behind the counter for when we made the drive back to D.C. a few days later.
Unfortunately, when we did make that drive and stopped by the Wendy's, the manager with whom we had spoken was not there and the other employees couldn't find my sister's purse. Thankfully, she was able to fly back to Albuquerque without its contents (this was pre-2001 and I don't think IDs were required to fly back then). The Wendy's manager did mail the purse back to her (after taking the money needed for postage out of her wallet). Everything else seemed to still be there though.

Mariah Carey's husband Nick Cannon was hospitalized for the fourth time in three months last week after suffering pain in his chest and right arm.
The America's Got Talent presenter was recently diagnosed with acute kidney failure after falling ill while on a post-Christmas family vacation in Aspen, Colorado. He subsequently underwent surgery in Los Angeles and returned for further treatment in January.
But Cannon had to seek doctors' help once again last Friday following another health crisis as a result of his busy work schedule between New York and Los Angeles.
This time, he was diagnosed with blood clots in his lungs and an enlarged ventricle in his heart.
He resumed his work commitments on Wednesday and has now opened up about his health struggles during a candid chat on his Big Apple radio show on Thursday.
Admitting it was "quite serious", he explained, "I was trying to downplay it a lot, even in my own mind.
"I travel a lot. Anyone who flies a lot can be a victim to getting blood clots because it can start in your legs or your lower back (from sitting for an extended period of time). That, on top of my previous condition (kidney failure) made me more prone to (getting blood clots). I couldn't sleep because I was in so much pain. I was having a lot of pain in my back."
Doctors have warned Cannon to cut back on his work schedule – and the father of twins is finally realising that he needs to take better care of himself.
He said, "My doctor was saying that my work is going to kill me – and he's not joking. I think part of the reason why my health did kind of deteriorate was because I wasn't resting a lot and I was doing too much. I was overworking myself, working out too much.
"I always took a lot of pride in working so hard and never taking a day off. But I'm learning that it isn't the wisest thing all the time, especially being a new father. Not only wanting to spend more time with my children, but wanting to be there for my children."

LITTLE ROCK � The names of about 130,000 Arkansas residents permitted to carry a concealed handgun would be kept secret under a proposal endorsed by a Senate committee Tuesday, over the objections of media organizations who say the information should be kept public.
LITTLE ROCK � The names of about 130,000 Arkansas residents permitted to carry a concealed handgun would be kept secret under a proposal endorsed by a Senate committee Tuesday, over the objections of media organizations who say the information should be kept public.
The measure is among several aimed at loosening gun laws that are expected to win legislative approval after Republicans won control of the House and Senate in last year�s election. The push for looser gun laws in Arkansas comes as Congress is considering tighter gun control laws in the wake of a school shooting in Connecticut last year.
The Senate State Agencies and Governmental Affairs Committee endorsed by a voice vote legislation that would exempt the concealed carry information from the state�s Freedom of Information Act. Current law allows the names and ZIP codes of permit holders to be released.
Sen. Bruce Holland, R-Greenwood, said he proposed making the list secret after a constituent said he was worried by a New York newspaper�s decision to publish the names and addresses of concealed carry permit holders in the wake of last year�s Connecticut school shooting.
�I�m very sensitive to the Freedom of Information Act and believe it should be protected, but this is more of a privacy issue,� Holland said.
News organizations, however, argued that the move would go against a compromise struck with the Legislature in 2009 after lawmakers then proposed making the list secret. The current law was the result of that compromise.
�This bill would eliminate a balance between personal privacy and open government,� said Dennis Byrd, executive editor of Stephens Media�s Central Arkansas newspapers.
Byrd and David Bailey, managing editor of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, said they weren�t interested in publishing the entire list of Arkansas residents allowed to have concealed handguns but said the public has an interest in accessing the information.
Bailey said his newspaper can use the list to �spot check� and cross-reference it with other lists, such as convicted felons.
Two concealed carry permit holders told the panel they worried that keeping the list public would jeopardize their safety.
�If I have to protect myself, I would certainly not want somebody coming into my house expecting a gun,� said Scotty Keller, a retiree from Faulkner County who said she recently received her concealed carry permit. �I want to be the person with a surprise, not him.�
Sen. David Johnson, the only lawmaker on the panel who could be heard voting against the measure, said he believes the public has a right to know who has concealed weapons. Republicans hold five of the eight seats on the panel.
�Homeowners and citizens of the state have an interest in knowing who of their neighbors may possess concealed weapons and the press has a legitimate interest in it too, I believe,� Johnson, D-Little Rock, told reporters after the vote. �I think Arkansas so far has been very responsible in the use and access of the list.�
A spokesman for Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe, who signed into law the 2009 compromise legislation, said the governor opposed Holland�s bill but declined to say whether he�d veto the legislation if it reached his desk.
It only takes a simple majority to override a governor�s veto in Arkansas. Republicans hold 51 of the 100 House seats and 21 of the 35 Senate seats.
�Governor Beebe feels that a good compromise was reached in 2009 that protected the privacy of permit holders while preserving the State�s FOI act,� Beebe spokesman Matt DeCample said. �Setting aside that compromise now would deteriorate the FOIA, and the governor opposes the bill.�
Beebe earlier said he opposed new restrictions to the FOI in general.
�I�ve never been for FOI restrictions, never been for them,� Beebe said.
The Senate on Tuesday gave final approval to a measure that would allow concealed handguns in churches and other places of worship if the institutions OK it.
Beebe has said he plans to sign that measure into law, but wants to work with legislators to develop another bill to address concerns that insurers could raise the premiums of churches that opt to allow concealed handguns.
Other measures pending in the Legislature include a proposal to allow faculty and staff at colleges and universities to carry concealed handguns. A House panel is expected to consider that measure next week.
Associated Press Writer Chuck Bartels contributed to this report.

Panel Focuses on Sustainability and Innovation
Innovation—Not Just for Devices, Processes, and Materials Anymore
At a SEMI global executive conference, the semiconductor manufacturing industry acknowledges the opportunities, the challenges, and the immediacy of the need to be sustainable. It will be difficult, but it is necessary.
"It is now time for all companies in the semiconductor manufacturing supply chain to recognize the scope and extent of sustainable manufacturing issues and to adjust their businesses and their perceptions accordingly." This was only one of the major points that were developed and analyzed at the Sustainability Executive Panel at the SEMI International Trade Partners' Conference, held November 4–7, 2008 in Maui, Hawaii. Leaders from all over the world convened to learn and collaborate at the annual conference that addressed global semiconductor manufacturing, technology, and trade issues. This year, one of the key issues was sustainability.
The recognition by many companies that "green" models will result in better products and satisfied stakeholders is widespread; and, that fact is contributing to a "critical mass" approach in the supply chain.
Norm Armour of Applied Materials began by defining the scope of sustainability, and by offering a brief view of the opportunities for improvement in the semiconductor manufacturing industry.
Echoing that view, Shegihito Ibuka of TEL described the approach that TEL executive management has taken to directing that organization to be green—or even greener than before. As a semiconductor equipment supplier, TEL sees how small improvements in sub-components throughout a finished tool add up to large and valuable reductions in energy and materials use.
Seung-Ki Chae of Samsung Electronics explained the underlying drivers of Samsung's sustainability efforts as integrating device performance, manufacturing productivity, and green technology to produce the best products as cleanly as possible.
This effort, Chae explained, is perhaps paradoxically made easier by the new technology that is being developed for semiconductor manufacturing. While more and new materials are being used in fabs today, it means that sustainability considerations are beginning to move to the forefront of process development efforts—so it is likely that process will be more green from its inception and that any necessary post-implementation mitigation efforts will be minimal.
Chae further explained Samsung's goals in electrical energy consumption as reducing per-wafer energy cost by 5 percent per year from the 2004 baseline through 2010. To keep on that path, and on similar paths for other reduction efforts, Samsung sees a strong need for cooperation and collaboration through the supply chain. Materials suppliers need to provide more information, assess risks, and safely deliver known materials. Equipment suppliers must work with the materials suppliers to characterize wastes and usages for the tool and the materials to minimize environmental footprints. Device manufacturers must set and maintain their green targets even while developing product and technology roadmaps.
A similar view was espoused by Yu-ichi Mikata, general manager, Environment Planning Promotion Division, Toshiba. The savings available through intelligent application of proven EHS principles is reducing CO2 emissions by many tons today, and through energy saving innovation. Toshiba has made great strides in recognizing the opportunities that are presented by the effort to be a sustainable manufacturing operation, and their efforts are already bearing bottom-line profit results.
As a business-wide effort, green approaches become everyone's business—inside and outside the organization. Citing numerous studies and reports, Peter Williams of IBM demonstrated how "being green" was no longer optional for semiconductor manufacturers (or any company). Many stakeholders—customers, investors, employees, local and national governments and NGOs—now routinely ask about the environmental impacts of manufacturing plants and projects. This means that green is not about just energy emissions, or manufacturing activities—it is a business-wide issue that requires multi-disciplinary coordinated knowledge and effort. Even activities such as brand and positioning strategy, partner management, and after-sales support can have a serious impact on the lifetime systemic energy use and carbon footprint of a product; so, all of these attributes must be considered in early product planning stages.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and its challenging small-overlap crash test have passed judgment. In testing of nearly a dozen minicars, only one vehicle scored an acceptable rating on the ultra-tough test, which was instituted in August 2012.
The Chevrolet Spark was the only car out of 11 to net an "Acceptable" rating in the small-overlap test and the only one to be named a 2014 Top Safety Pick. The IIHS has four rating levels – Poor, Marginal, Acceptable and Good.
The Mazda2, Kia Rio, Toyota Yaris and 2014 Ford Fiesta all netted "Marginal" scores on the small-overlap test, while the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage, Nissan Versa, Toyota Prius C, Hyundai Accent, Fiat 500 and Honda Fit all netted "Poor" ratings. We've posted the full score result sheet to the right.
"Small, lightweight vehicles have an inherent safety disadvantage. That's why it's even more important to choose one with the best occupant protection," said Joe Nolan, IIHS' senior VP for vehicle research. "Unfortunately, as a group, minicars aren't performing as well as other vehicle categories in the small overlap crash."

Transcript of the proposal for WCBN-FM
- To: The Office of Student Services Policy Board
- From: WCBN
- RE: A 10-watt educational FM radio station
- Date: November 30, 1970
WCBN requests from the Office of Student Services Policy Board the following:
- Support for application to the FCC for a 10-watt educational FM radio station to be financed by the University and administered by WCBN (with the license held by the Board of Regents).
- Allocation of funds for operation of the proposed station in accordance with the budget herewith submitted (it is hoped that the assignment of funds for study and application to the FCC will be made immediately because delay in the study of finances might preclude license acquisition at a later daye due to frequency security).
WCBN makes this request for an FM station because:
- There is a real need for alternative means of communication on campus. This has been noted by manym in particulat the Wright Committee on Communications and the Regents, when expanding the University Record.
- WCBN presents a unique program service. We feel that the true worth of any medium is in keeping its audience informed and entertained, and in its promotion of the free exchange of ideas. In fulfilling these goals, WCBN programs the latest in progressive music, sports, including live broadcasts of Michigan sporting events; editorial and opinion programs, and other imformational programming, specificallt forums, panels, interviews, and a calendar service for free promotion of activities of groups within the University community.
- People can hear the 10-watt FM station. Past surveys of the WCBN audience show that most listeners have access to FM radios. Preliminary engineering studies show a minimum coverage area of radius 2 miles -- all of Ann Arbor.
- People would listen. WCBN is listened to (where it can be heard) now by 71% of its potential audience for an average of 2.1 hours per day.
- Fairness is guaranteed. The FCC, through the Fairness Doctrine, requires presentation of all sides of an issue.
- WCBN has the experience and capability to provide quality radio. WCBN has been on campus for 23 years. The staff is one of the largest (100-150) and most talented anywhere.
- WCBN-FM would offer more educational opportunities to more students -- both as listeners and as broadcasters.

natural mystic necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 26 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
I need a professional and 'hip' looking re-design for my guitar and amplifier related website (Tone Settings dot com).
This contest is just for the homepage however after picking a winner, I would like some inner pages to be designed.
Tone Settings
Tone Settings is a niche website that offers information to guitarists regarding how to get good sound, or tone, from your amp. The re-design should have all the basic information found in the current site, but with a different layout.The site should be professional looking, and should be especially appealing to guitarists who play rock or heavy metal. Main aspects of the site would be Settings (for Amps and for FX Pedals), Reviews, Forum.One decent looking, similar website that you can use for reference is UltimateGuitar dot com.
- A rock/metal feel to the design- Header should have a section to register/log in- Possibly some nice looking guitars/amps/fx pedal images somehow within the design- Good integration with Google Ads- Listing of latest settings (with the setting's name, and what product it is for..ex: Fender Twin Reverb, Dunlop Crybaby)- Listing of latest reviews- Listing of latest forum postsI will update this section with more information as I start to see some submissions and I get a better vision of what I want.
- A cheesy looking design- Cliche design ideas such as random music notes, etc.

Target sizes?
Allright this has been bugging me for a while now and this article has me re-thinking everything Ive assumed before about the bullseye size (mainly 200-300 yardlines)
If you click on "Rifle" it lists the size of every ring.
Same target is obviously used for 200-300yds
But I believe the sizes of the rings are +1 inch
Theyre all odd numbers
10 ring should be 6in based on what I was told before, 9 ring being a basic 12in wide.
Can someone please confirm the long range target sizes too?
This is pretty interesting since I was shooting at 12in targets with stricter scoring in the past before getting serious about NRA matches. This only increases my score by 10-15 pts.
sounds too good to be true, dont want to wrap my mind about this yet

I don't know what you are asking, If I read your post right, you are questioning if the High Power dimensions listed in the link are correct.
They are.
The 200 & 300 yard targets' scoring rings are the same size. For the 300 yard target the "8" ring is black. This was changed in the late 70s to make the "black" the same size, relatively, on your front sight. At the same time they added black to the "7" ring on the 600 yard target. Again making it the same size relative (almost) to your front sight.
When the change came about many said it was do to High Power Shooters getting old, and their eyes were going south. I don't know if that reasoning is true or not, but at the same time they changed the times for the Rapid Fire stages. It use to be, for setting, 50 seconds for gas guns and 60 seconds for bolt guns. For prone rapid it was 60 & 70 seconds respectively. Every thing was changed to 60 & 70 seconds regardless of gun.
Also I believe this was the time the CMP (then DCM) changed the rules for LEG or EIC matches. It use to be that is such matches you couldn't use a ground cloth (mat) in prone and you had to load from the person as oppose to laying the second mag. on the ground.
Anyway, to answer your question, the scoring rings dimensions listed in your link are correct.

Thanks for the confirmation.
Its a welcomed relief that my offhand shooting will be 1 inch easier than what I was doing before on 12in targets.
I totally see the reasoning behind making certain rings black as distance increases. In other words its not the size of the black but the size of the 9 and 10 rings we should worry about.

Neb. Furniture Mart to allow concealed guns
Neb. Furniture Mart to allow concealed guns
OMAHA, Neb. —
One of the biggest retailers in Omaha, the Nebraska Furniture Mart, is changing its policy to allow shoppers to carry concealed weapons as long as they the proper permit.
The Nebraska Furniture Mart also plans to begin arming some of its security guards with handguns after they are trained to handle them.
The store's loss prevention manager Jim Cahill says there have been incidents where a shoplifter pulled a knife on employees, and the store wants to be able to protect staff and customers.
The Nebraska Furniture Mart is owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
Similar policies will be used at the company's existing store in Kansas City and its store under construction in the Dallas area.

The Record sports department received applications from 20 high school senior student-athletes for the Charles Washington Award this year.
CORRECTION: July 29, 2013
Madeleine Barth attended St. Mary's High School. The high school she attended was incorrect in the print and initial online versions of this story. The error has been corrected online.
The Record sports department received applications from 20 high school senior student-athletes for the Charles Washington Award this year.
Since 2005, the Charles Washington award has been presented to an individual who has demonstrated excellence in athletics, academics and community service. The award is named for the late Edison football coach, who mentored countless people in all walks of life before he died in 2009 at 76.
Each year, the quality of the applicants for the Charles Washington Award seems to rise, providing the sports staff and judging panel an increasingly difficult task in choosing five finalists from which the overall winner of the award is selected.
It's a welcomed dilemma and a credit to the quality of the young women and young men in our area, whose commitment to achieve their goals and help the community is inspiring, if not humbling.
Colin Anderson of Lodi, St. Mary's Manuel Cisneros III, Weston Ranch's Candisse Griffin, Edison's Gaby Guzman and Franklin's Colizel Lewis were selected as the finalists out of the 20 applicants, and from that group of finalists, Lewis was selected as this year's Charles Washington Award winner. He will receive a $500 scholarship from the Charles Washington Scholarship Fund and his name has been engraved on a trophy that will be displayed at Franklin during the 2013-14 academic year.
Each finalist richly deserved to be recognized.
But there were 15 more applicants whose r�sum�s and letters of recommendation were given fervent consideration. (Applications were submitted by the student-athletes or their school's career counseling department). Any of them could have made the group of finalists and won the award. And they deserve to be commended, as well.
Madeleine Barth played volleyball at St. Mary's and was an AP scholar with a 4.06 cumulative grade-point average. She worked with campus ministry and the Red Rhino Orphanage Project in Africa. She will attend UC Davis.
Megan Byrne earned three varsity letters in volleyball at St. Mary's and works with the International Outreach Organization and volunteers at her church. She had a 4.02 GPA and will play volleyball at Cal Poly Pomona.
Joseph M. Carl of St. Mary's was a first-team All-Area offensive lineman who collected dental supplies for the Red Rhino Orphanage Project and achieved a 3.9 grade-point average. He will attend San Diego State.
Asia Cortez of Sierra was a four-time all-league soccer player, who helped coach youth soccer. She had a 3.8 GPA and will attend Notre Dame de Namur.
Jacob Eakin of Millennium received an A. Dale Lacky Scholarship from the Sac-Joaquin Section and was a standout on the Falcons' football team. He put in more than 300 hours of community service and is going to Chapman University.
Frederick Ferrer was co-captain of the St. Mary's swim team, received an A. Dale Lacky Scholarship, volunteers as a swim instructor and achieved a 4.27 cumulative GPA. He's attending UC San Diego.
Andres Flores was Stagg's football Lineman of the Year and the school's Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year with a 3.66 GPA. He volunteered at Walton School and is going to Greenville (Ill.) College.
Taylor Getty of Lincoln received an A. Dale Lacky Scholarship from the Sac-Joaquin Section, set a school record in the high jump (5 feet, 5 inches) and achieved a 4.18 grade-point average. She will study computer science at UC Santa Barbara.
Brandon James held the No. 1 singles position on the St. Mary's tennis team all four years and was a two-time league singles champion. He had a 3.5 GPA and helped raise funds for the Women's Center of San Joaquin County. He will attend Arizona.
Fiona Kennedy of St. Mary's was a standout soccer player, her school's student body president and an officer with the International Outreach Club. She maintained a grade-point average above 4.0 and was her class valedictorian. Kennedy plans to attend UCLA.
Maria Lauron-Ramos was co-captain of the St. Mary's basketball team and received department awards in Spanish and history with a 3.88 GPA. She took part in several school clubs and volunteers at her church. She will attend Pacific.
Austin McDonnell was an accomplished swimmer and achieved a 3.96 GPA at St. Mary's, while volunteering as a youth swimming coach. He is going to Wright State in Dayton, Ohio.
Jessica Munoz of Manteca played volleyball for four years, softball for three years, and was a member of the Buffaloes' band for four years, while maintaining a 4.16 GPA. She will attend Marymount Manhattan College in New York.
Latee Piggee of Franklin was the Stockton Unified School District's Cross Country Runner of the Year and a 3.5 student with four years of volunteer service with the Stockton chapter of the YMCA. He will attend Cal State East Bay.
Logan Sanders was a co-captain of St. Mary's baseball and football teams, a member of the Boys Senate, co-founder of "Books on Call," which collects and distributes new children's books to pediatric wards of local hospitals, and had a 3.75 GPA. He will attend California Lutheran University.
Next year, the sports department and selection panel likely will have a difficult task once again choosing from another crop of deserving high school senior student-athletes for the Charles Washington Award. Applications can be submitted during the spring semester at Recordnet.com or P.O. Box 900, Stockton, CA 95201.

Review: V-Moda M80 (on ear portable headphone)
V-Moda M80 (on ear portable headphone)
A very good looking headphone from a company that seems to care a lot about fashion on their designs. but who said good looking headphones cant sound good?
First things first: If you just want the straight-to-the-point review and no blabbering, read only the blue bits and the picts
3 cables, an excellent hard carrying case known as exoskeleton, a clip to hel carry the bag, 3 cables and ¼ to 1/8 inches adapter. All this in a fancy hard cardboard box.
The good: exoskeleton case is so very awesome and useful and good looking. More cables than you'd need.
The nitpicks: none.
The bad: none. V-moda does not fool around giving you accessories.
Cables and plugs.
Build quality:
Two things come to my mind, tough and flexible. Headband flexes like few, I've manage to set it flat or twist it to the other side and cross the cups far from what seems normal.
The hinges that holds the cup is metal. And its hold with four screws per cup, the cup shell is plastic with a metal back plate.
The headband is some sort of fiber with a soft felt in the part where it touches the head. It looks very durable, but only time will tell.
The cables look well built, I have 3 cables in my package, one audio only (grey, 2 meters) , one with volume +/- and play/pause keys (black, 1.5 meters), and the other with mic (red, 1.5 meters), the audio only one soft and docile, the others two tend to become stiffy specially when twisted. The plug housing in all cables are minimalist, stylish, rubbery and flexible.
Physically, the attention to details by V-moda is remarkable. and I can throw this around with trust that it wont break, it can take the abuse, even more if you store it in the case, but I've been just trowing it inside my backpack, no case, no cover, Commando style!.
The good: flexibility in the headband, solid build, replaceable back plates. Detachable cord and you can use almost any cable extension (slightly jack only the massive plugs wont fit). It can take a lot of abuse.
The nitpicks: the cable from the cups to the headband could be held to the hinge to avoid it to pop up (the sony V6 prevent this with a clamp in the hinge holding the cable). 2 of the 3 the cables gets stiff and even more when twisted.
The bad: none.
Definitely stylish, not your standard rugged plain black headphone, but it doesn't go as far as being pretentious either.
Body is mainly black (glossy or matte) with red bits here and there.
Bonus: V-Moda sells laser engraved custom plates for your M80, I send them this design (guess where is it from and win a cookie)
The headband is well padded and the clamping force is low, additionally the earpads are soft. All this sums up to have a very comfortable headphone. I can wear this for long listening sessions without a single problem.
After a while I forget the headphones are on, which is hard to achieve with an on ear headphone.
The good: top notch comfort. (your mileage may vary)
The nitpicks: none.
The bad: none.
Not the best, fair less than the Sennheiser HD25. I believe it might be due to the shape of the cups, oval shaped (hexagon) and the fact that they have vents in the back. It manage to block the high frequencies but creates some sort of tunnel like sound with the lower frequencies. I wouldn't use it in a noisy environment, tried it at a football stadium and got distracted by the exterior's noise every now and then.
It confuses me how V-moda advertises this in their website as "Noise isolating" and at the same time advertize the V-port technology.
Where sound/air goes out, sound/air comes in. right?
Edit: From V-Moda's owner himself I got the fact that this are semi-closed headphones, and it was made to gain some soundstage and bass, and it really works in that matter, covering the vents will end up in a different sound. at the end it was a good choice, at expenses of some isolation, you lose some you win some.
The good: block some noise.
The bad: Isolation could be better, not on par with HD25 and DT1350, but fairly more than open back headphones.
Is you are expecting the M80 to sound the typical bass heavy fashion headphone, you're in for a surprise, the midrange was the first thing that caught my attention.
I used this headphone right out of my Zune120, Cowon J3, ipod classic and clip+, also used iBasso D3 and Mini3 as amps but felt that the M80s doesn need the amplifier, it does well from the headphone out alone. but it does
Not prominent, it isn't as tight and detailed as other headphones like the DT1350 either, but enough as to know that the M80's does not lack bass.
Extension is good enough as to perceive subbass when the track demands it.
They have punch, don't hit as hard as the HD25, but definitely more punch and kick then the DT1350. you get the "bass is there" feeling but it doesnt dominates the sound.
This is my favorite of the three. Very articulated, clear, fairly detailed and liquid. They make the HD25 mids sound recessed.
I've also being using the M80s to watch movies and listening poscasts, something I wouldn't do with a headphone without articulated mids. These are responsible to make the M80 sound slightly bright, even at the lack of sparkling highs, maybe because the bump in the mid-high section of the FR graph.
The mids are perfect for vocals, specially female vocalist, piano and violins. like this:
From the three ranges this is the one in the third place. See it this way, if you were to categorize the clearness, detail and how loud each range is, the highs would be in the background. I can safely say the highs feels tamed and lacks sparkle, without sounding dark.
This could be seen as an advantage considering that piercing and sibilance are out of the equation.
Sound signature:
I would say it's a fun signature but not V shaped (oddly enough since V-moda seems to like to put a V in everything they made ) bass is not the priority, but you certain have decent amount of bass. Bassheads, you've been warned. The liquid, open and clear mids makes this headphone what it is, a pleasant non fatiguing portable headphone, specially good for vocal oriented music.
The M80 offer more soundstage than one would expect from an 'on ear portable' as a Grado fanboy I have very little acknowledge about soundstage . I often get amazed at soundstage and how my beloved Grados lacks it. The M80 space doesn't feel so cramped as the Sennheiser HD25, for my listening sessions, I'd compare the soundstage with the Beyerdynamic DT1350, or even a bit larger.
Separation and Details:
I find it to be very good, channel separation is very noticeable, which gives out a larger soundstage feeling, instrumental separation with heavy, faster and technical music (progressive metal) was good enough as not to feel cramped and neither lacking details.
Sound summary:
With the mids in the front row, the bass in the second and the highs behind them, the M80 offers a very different option from the two better known competitors, Sennheiser HD25 and Beyerdynamic DT1350.
I really enjoy the M80s, I like the fun yet different sound it makes, most fun headphones tend to be bassy and sparkly or recessed mids, the M80 defies that and the results are quite exciting. It was a pleasant surprise and I plan to use them a lot from now on, at expenses of the beyer DT1350, which was already getting little use next to the senn HD25.
A very welcome new option for those of us who believes that portable-fi should be about fun and comfort, after all I don't want a clinical signature to analyze the music in a 30 minute trip or a 15 minute relax in between classes, I want to have fun and enjoy the music. The M80 does that for me, and plenty more, I've used this at the office for 2.5 hours straight without feeling tired at the sound or my ears hurt.
The good: Clear, liquid and articulated mids. Over average level of details, good soundstage, not overpowering bass. does not require amplification.
The nitpicks: None.
The bad: lack of sparkle, lack of extension in the upper levels.
I got this for free (on a give away, I'm lucky )and perhaps that and the fact that I like it makes me put a higher value rate.
But thinking as a potential customer, the actual MSPR from V-moda is $230, do I think its worth it? not really, but rarely a headphone worth its list price, none that I remember actually, audio stuff is just plain overpriced in general. And that is why street price exists. The actual price in amazon right now is 170$, I say it is very fair. .
Here's the thing, it is a whole package, class A+ buld quality, very good sound, and the accessories, including the excellent exoskeleton case, it all sums up for a great portable.
Technical specs (from V-Moda's website):
Type: Supraaural (on-ear)
Speaker Drivers: 40mm.
Impedance: 28.5 Ohms
Frequency Response: 5 - 30,000 Hz
Sound Pressure Level: 105 dB
Weight: 180g (headphone only)
Size comparison:
The cups are hexagonal shaped, smaller than the HD25 and slightly bigger than the DT1350's.
A few more pictures here
Pros: Many: Clear, articulated and fun sound, does not require amplification, superb build quality, great accessories, good looking, customisable, detachable cable.
Cons: Isolation could be better.
Hope this is useful to some one and hopefully I put enough picts to make it up for the lack of words .

text: The Nasty Gal brand is not for the shy and retiring, in fact it is a label that is intended to be as 'badass' as the women who wear it. With its bold and youthful aesthetic, Nasty Gal is trend driven and designed for body confident women who understand their own shape and know how to dress it properly. The label is fairly unique in that it was only established in 2012 but is already a much loved name for individual design that is cool without conforming. The brand is aimed at young women in their late teens or early twenties but many of the looks translate to different markets. The bracelets line includes many directional designs, from box cuffs through to motif bracelets, hand pieces and vintage items.

Power woes don't end with winter in LondonderryBy APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
June 18. 2013 6:22PM
LONDONDERRY — Though winter is now a distant memory, some Londonderry residents are being reminded of the season more often then they would like.
In recent months, power outages around town have been random and frequent, leaving many citizens shaking their heads.
PSNH spokesman Elizabeth LaRocca said that in most cases, crews have been able to return power to various neighborhoods within several hours.
LaRocca and other company officials were present at Monday night's Town Council meeting in hopes of informing the community about the issues at hand.
"One issue we've been seeing is outages in small spots," Councilor Tom Dolan said. "This has been seen most recently towards the center of town."
"It's been grating on many residents having to deal with these frequent outages," he added.
Dolan further noted that the power outages also pose a danger for some of the town's elderly and those with health problems, since the lack of air conditioning can endanger those with respiratory illnesses.
"We have such a changing demographic in our community with many seniors in town," he said. "When it's very hot outside, some residents have oxygen, generators and so forth that have to go on a temporary battery system."
According to LaRocca, the solution to the problem isn't a simple one, though it's one the company is working hard to address.
With many of Londonderry's communities relying on underground utilities, it's often no quick fix when its time to target an outage source.
Over the years, millions of dollars have been spent to replace underground cables around Shasta Drive. LaRocca said the company's budget for underground replacements in its southern division, which represents 40 percent of its customer base, is $4.3 million dollars. Over a third of that budget is devoted to Londonderry, she said.
"The public's perception that the cure for outages is to go underground isn't necessarily the case," Dolan said.
Paul Casper, manager of PSNH's Derry/Londonderry work center, agreed.
"Every type of utilities system is a double-edged sword," he said.
"The positive is that if a tree falls down, there's no problem underground," he said. "The flip side is if a cable faults, unless you have x-ray vision it's hard to figure out where the fault is."
He said being ready for the unexpected is a vital part of his job. Just last week, a raven flew into the Mammoth Road substation and knocked out the power in several neighborhoods.
Right now, the greater Londonderry area is being equipped with a Smart Grid, which uses intelligent devices to help workers pinpoint outage sources faster.
"It's very costly, but we don't mind that," Casper said, noting that the Smart Grid system allowed workers to promptly locate the dead bird and restore power to several thousand homes.
"When this cable system underground was developed, it was like a miracle. It was new to New England, and we all thought it would last forever," he added. "But nothing lasts forever."
About two weeks ago, an underground cable fault resulted in an outage near Holten Circle. Workers promptly responded and dug into the ground, replacing a 10-foot section of cable and filling the hole again. "
"We'd all gone home and 12 hours later, and just 15 feet away, a second piece of cable had failed," Casper said. "It was just one of those things. If we had x-ray vision it would be easy."
PSNH officials said they're hoping to minimize future outages while preparing for the coming winter season.
"The tree-trimming we've been doing has definitely helped." Casper said.
"I think the big question here is communication," Dolan said. "If the town knows what's going on, we can let citizens know. And when people know what's happening and why, it can improve some of the angst we all experience."firstname.lastname@example.com

The defendant, Personal Insurance Co., brought a motion for summary judgement on the basis that personal injuries that plaintiff claimed for pursuant to a policy of insurance were not sustained in an "accident" within the meaning of the s. 2 of the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (Ontario Regulation 403/96).The application was dismissed.
[2011] O.J. No. 3806
Ontario Superior Court of Justice
J. C. Murray J.
August 23, 2011
While sitting in his parked vehicle at a gas station, the plaintiff was assaulted by 3 or 4 men. The assailants tried to pull him from his car and the plaintiff tried to change gears to reverse out of the spot. One of the men tried to force the vehicle into park, before the plaintiff managed to reverse the vehicle. In the course of driving away, the plaintiff believes that he may have run over one of the assailants . As a result of the incident, the plaintiff asserts that he suffers from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic low back pain, migraine headaches, anxiety, nervousness, and other ailments which impact upon his ability to function.
At the time of the incident, the plaintiff was insured with the defendant, the Personal Insurance Co. He claimed for benefits pursuant to the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (Ontario Regulation 403/96) in relation to his alleged injuries. The defendant denied that there was an "accident" within the meaning of that statute which defines an accident as: "an incident in which the use or operation of an automobile directly causes an impairment or directly causes damage …".
The Court's analysis of the issue was guided by the two part test set out in Amos v. Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, [1995] 3 S.C.R. 405: (1) Did the accident result from the ordinary and well known activities to which automobiles are put? (2) Is there some nexus or causal relationship between the plaintiff's injuries and the ownership, use or operation of his vehicle; or is the connection between the injuries and the ownership or use or operation of the vehicle fortuitous?
To reflect the fact that indirect causes of impairment had been removed from the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule since the Amos case, the Court added a third aspect to the test: Is there a direct or proximate causal relationship between the injuries and ownership, use or operation of his vehicle or is the connection between them merely incidental or fortuitous?
The Court found that pulling into a gas station is an activity that all vehicles are put and therefore the first part of the test was satisfied. The Court also found that there was a direct causal relationship between the injuries and the use, ownership or operation of the vehicle because the use of the car had not come to an end before the injury was suffered. The plaintiff had not left the car and the engine was running when he was assaulted. The logical and probable inference from the facts is that the assailants had intended to try to take the plaintiff's vehicle. It was the use or ownership of the vehicle that had put him in harm's way.
The Court concluded that the plaintiff had been involved in an "accident" within the meaning of the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule. The motion for summary judgment was denied.

A handful of volunteers combined their efforts on July 12 to build a portion of trail connecting trails in the Mill Site trail system for mountain bikes.
Essentially they worked to reconstruct trail #2 (bypass the existing trail) to include more "whoop-de-doos", which makes the ascent or descent (whichever direction you decide to travel) more fun and interesting.
According to Matt Moore, of the Four Corners School of Outdoor Education, "The goal is to improve the mountain biking experience of the local area."
The volunteers on Saturday included Matt Moore, Steve Munsell, and Jenna Whetzel of Four Corners School, Andrew Goodwin of Blanding, and three members of "Team Carnage Asada", including Rick Clark, Sam Robins, and Andy Platt.
Several groups have been involved in trail building and improvement at the mill site and on the network of trails that meander among the Blue Mountains.
The groups include The Four Corners School and it's Canyon Country Youth Corp, Monticello City Recreation Director Oliver Crane and his summer youth parks and recreation experts, and "Team Carnage Asada".
The next volunteer trail building day is August 2. Interested recruits are encouraged to enlist. The focus on August 2 will be on the Tower Trail at Abajo Peak. The work is in preparation for the inaugural Abajo Enduro Mountain Bike Race, which will take place on August 9. The race will begin on Abajo Peak and end at Foy Lake.

Human evolution theory utilizing concepts of neoteny & female sexual selection
An etiology of neuropsychological disorders such as autism and dyslexia, and the origin of left handedness.
Charles Darwin made three proposals that he thought, together, could explain the process of species transformation, or evolution. They are the theories of natural selection (1859), sexual selection (1871) and pangenesis (more commonly called Lamarckian selection, 1868).
The relationship between neoteny and human evolution is explained in the following video.
The work that this website represents is a step back to Darwin's original thesis (the one he died with), that all three processes are integral to an understanding of evolution. This work, we believe, is also a step forward as it seeks to convince you, the visitor, that there is a single principle uniting all three theories, an umbrella concept not available to Darwin. Four features of this single principle are:
1) Natural selection is the first and most powerful of the selective processes. Sexual selection, Lamarckian selection (or the adopting of acquired characteristics) and additional selective processes outlined in this work were created by the branching evolution of the selective processes themselves. In other words, not only do species evolve, but so do the processes behind species creationa meta evolution.
2) Recent discoveries in neuropsychology evocatively support a side branch of contemporary evolutionary theory, heterochronic theory, which covers the study of neoteny in human evolution. There is a powerful body of evidence that suggests that Darwin's third theory, pangenesis, makes way for an understanding of the etiology of neurological disorders in human beings as evidenced in recent discoveries of human hormonal structures and neurological anomalies. We believe that the origins of some forms of autism, dyslexia, disorders characterized by maturational delay and many other disorders and diseases are understandable and possibly treatable with this new Darwinian synthesis.
3) We have created a theory with a number of predictive elements. We invite you to explore our hypothesis that humans evolved as a result of a joint action between neoteny and female sexual selection, acting upon those early humans adept at proto-song and proto-dance. The implications of this hypothesis bind the varying elements of our theory together and suggest specific interventions for specific neurological conditions. It is our belief that art, not aggression, drove the evolution of our species.
4) In polygynous society engaging in female infanticide, there are far fewer females than males to mate. The males considered least desirable as husbands by the fathers of the females to be married go mateless. Female infanticide is an example of the patrifocal co-option of sexual selection from the female, or more specifically, from matrifocal cultures. We propose that human culture evolves similarly to how species evolve. Beginning with this hypothesis, we will guide you toward an understanding of how social structure drives evolution in humans, informing personality structure, physiological conditions and diseases, and even historical change. Integral to insights derived from this hypothesis is an understanding of left-handed individuals and brain lateralization differences at the individual and societal levels. We believe that lefties are our genetic forebears and that matrifocal culture is the social-structure (and neurological/hormonal) ancestor of our mostly patrifocal contemporary culture.
There is more. We believe that a) The sudden drop in the age of puberty onset over the last 100 years shows evidence of an evolutionary dynamic in contemporary times and emphasizes the speed with which evolution can unfold. b) The curtailing of the final stage of cerebral development by early puberty directly and negatively influences the ability of western individuals to have spiritual experiences, contributing to the social complications of artificially generated altered states. c) Human migration patterns influence cerebral development. Jewish and African diasporas have deeply affected the neurological make-up of these two culturesboth suffering the effects (over generations) of diurnal solar cycles on equatorial hormonal/neurological structures. d) When you cross two individuals of the same species that have diverging lines several thousand years old, there is often a reversion of the offspring to features characteristic of the last common progenitor. So, too, with humans. We believe that here may be a partial explanation of several developmental disorders and extraordinary talent clusters. It goes on. This website introduces you to an opportunity for connecting all these seemingly disparate postulates into a single theory, shift theory. At the very least, this site seeks to incite you to consider what you may not have considered up to nowthat much of what you believe to be true may be only partially true, and that the alternative perspective we offer here creates an opportunity for healing.

Ashley Madekwe & Christa B. Allen: InStyle Golden Globe Girls
Ashley Madekwe and Christa B. Allen hit up the 2013 InStyle Celebration of the Golden Globes Awards Season held at Cecconi's on Thursday evening (November 29) in West Hollywood, Calif.
The Revenge stars looked to be channeling the same color palette in their berry-colored dresses and lips too!
"Plum is the lip colour du jour. I have no idea where our noses went…" Ashley tweeted.
"I wore a lovely dress from Zimmermann to the InStyle summer soir�e," she recently shared with THR about her favorite red carpet moment. "It was such a frothy girly look which is not my comfort zone at all. It's rare that a red carpet look makes it into my blog but that one did."
FYI: Ashley wore a Burberry Prorsum dress, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes and clutch, Gilan ring and Sorilina earrings. Christa wore Emilio de la Morena dress with Christian Louboutin shoes and a Reece Hudson clutch.
15+ pics inside…

US Military Official: Pennsylvania woman, husband, children not returning to US
An American woman, her Canadian husband and their three young children have been released after years of being held captive by a group that has ties to the Taliban, but will not be returning to the United States, a U.S. military official tells CBS News.
U.S. officials said Pakistan secured the release of Caitlan Coleman of Stewartstown, Pennsylvania, and her husband, Canadian Joshua Boyle, who were abducted five years ago while traveling in Afghanistan and then were held by the Haqqani network.
Coleman was pregnant when she was captured. The couple had three children while in captivity, and all have been freed, U.S. officials said. The Toronto Star reports that the couple has two boys and a girl, who was born two months ago.
The Pakistani military said the family was "being repatriated to the country of their origin."
But as of Thursday midday, the family's precise whereabouts were unclear, and it was not immediately known when they would return to North America. The family was not in U.S. custody, though they were together in a safe, undisclosed location in Pakistan, according to a U.S. national security official, who wasn't authorized to discuss the case publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
U.S. officials had planned on moving the family out of Pakistan on a U.S. transport plane, but at the last minute Boyle would not get on, the official said.
Another U.S. official said Boyle was nervous about being in "custody" given his background.
The official told CBS News Boyle is in no danger of being held in US custody against his will and that it would be difficult to say what is behind Boyle's decision because that length of time in captivity could be impacting his judgement.
The official also told CBS News the family has decided to stay together as a unit and that the US military stands ready to evacuate the family.
Boyle spoke to his parents and told them that he was in the trunk of the kidnappers' car with his wife and children, when Pakistani forces rescued them.
The Toronto Star reported there was a shootout and Boyle said the last words he heard from the kidnappers were, "kill the hostages."
The paper reports all five kidnappers were then shot dead and Boyle was injured with shrapnel.
His mother, Linda Boyle, says they spoke to him for the first time in five years. She calls it amazing and says he told them his children are looking forward to meeting their grandparents.
The High Commissioner for Pakistan to Canada says Pakistani commandos carried out a raid and there was a shootout before they safely rescued the hostages from a van.
Tariq Azim Khan said Thursday that Boyle and his family were then flown by helicopter to the U.S. embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan where they remain.
He says Boyle and his family are fit to travel and it's undecided whether they will fly to Canada or to the U.S. from there.
He says they don't know how many of the suspects were killed. He says one or two escaped and there is a search for the suspects.
He says he exchanged emails with the father of Boyle to tell them they had been rescued.
Statement by Ambassador Aizaz Chaudhry issued this statement on the rescue of Ms. Caitlin Coleman and her family:
I welcome successful rescue of Ms. Caitlan Coleman, a US citizen and her family from terrorists' captivity.
I also wish to extend warm felicitations to Ms. Coleman's family and her loved ones in the United States and Canada. No one should have to experience the pain and anguish that Ms. Coleman and her family had been put through in the past years. I am delighted that their ordeal is finally over.
Ms. Coleman and her family were captured by terrorists from Afghanistan in 2012 and kept as hostages there.
Pakistan's security forces acted within hours on the basis of actionable intelligence on hostages' shifting across to Pakistan. Their action constitutes yet another successful effort by Pakistan's security services against the terrorists.
Ms. Coleman's successful rescue operation is a testimony of results that can be achieved through cooperation and team work.
Cooperation is the most effective way to defeat terrorism.
Boyle was once married to Zaynab Khadr, the older sister of former Guantanamo Bay detainee Omar Khadr and the daughter of a late senior al-Qaida financier. Her father, Ahmed Said Khadr, and the family stayed with Osama bin Laden briefly when Omar Khadr was a boy.
The Canadian-born Omar Khadr was 15 when he was captured by U.S. troops following a firefight at a suspected al-Qaida compound. He was taken to Guantanamo and ultimately charged with war crimes by a military commission. He pleaded guilty in 2010 to charges that included murder and was sentenced to eight years plus the time he had already spent in custody.
Several years ago, Zaynab Khadr and her mother also upset many Canadians by expressing pro-al-Qaida views.
Officials had discounted any link between that background and Boyle's capture, with one official describing it in 2014 as a "horrible coincidence."
The couple has told U.S. officials they wanted to fly commercially to Canada, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly about the situation.
The release came together rapidly Wednesday. It happened nearly five years to the day after Coleman and Boyle lost touch with their families while traveling in a mountainous region near the Afghan capital of Kabul.
The couple set off in the summer 2012 for a journey that took them to Russia, the central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, and then to Afghanistan. Coleman's parents last heard from their son-in-law on Oct. 8, 2012, from an internet cafe in what Boyle described as an "unsafe" part of Afghanistan.
The only trace of the couple since has been in the form of videos released by their captors and family letters.
Coleman's parents, Jim and Lyn Coleman, told the online Circa News service in July 2016 that they received a letter from their daughter in November 2015, in which she wrote that she'd given birth to a second child in captivity. It's unclear whether they knew she'd had a third.
"I pray to hear from you again, to hear how everybody is doing," the letter read.
In that interview, Jim Coleman issued a plea to top Taliban commanders to be "kind and merciful" and let the couple go.
Boyle's parents, Patrick and Linda Boyle, said last year that a Taliban-released video had given them their first glimpse of their grandchildren.
"It is an indescribable emotional sense one has watching a grandson making faces at the camera, while hearing our son's leg chains clanging up and down on the floor as he tries to settle his son," the Boyles said in a written statement. "It is unbelievable that they have had to shield their sons from their horrible reality for four years."
The parents say their son told them in a letter that he and his wife have tried to protect the children by pretending their signs of captivity were part of a game being played with guards.
"It is simply heartbreaking to watch both boys so keenly observing their new surroundings in a makeshift film studio, while listening to their mother describe how they were made to watch her being defiled," the Boyles said.
John Kelly, Trump's chief of staff, tells reporters at the White House that the family have been essentially "living in a hole" for five years. He added, "I mean that's the kind of people we're dealing with over there."
Kelly credited Pakistan with playing a key role in their rescue. He also says the family is "being cared for now as we speak."
U.S. officials call the Haqqani group a terrorist organization and have targeted its leaders with drone strikes. But the group also operates like a criminal network. Unlike the Islamic State group, it does not typically execute Western hostages, preferring to ransom them for cash.
The U.S. has long criticized Pakistan for failing to aggressively go after the Haqqanis. In recent remarks on his Afghanistan policy, Trump noted billions paid to Pakistan "at the same time they are housing the very terrorists that we are fighting. But that will have to change, and that will change immediately."
In his statement Thursday, Trump described the release as "a positive moment for our country's relationship with Pakistan."
"The Pakistani government's cooperation is a sign that it is honoring America's wishes for it to do more to provide security in the region," he said. "We hope to see this type of cooperation and teamwork in helping secure the release of remaining hostages and in our future joint counterterrorism operations."
Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said her country was "greatly relieved" the family was safe, and she thanked the U.S., Afghan and Pakistani governments for their efforts.
"Joshua, Caitlan, their children and the Boyle and Coleman families have endured a horrible ordeal over the past five years. We stand ready to support them as they begin their healing journey," Freeland said.
Baldor reported from Tampa, Florida, and Ahmed from Islamabad. Associated Press writers Matthew Lee and Deb Riechmann in Washington, Rob Gillies in Toronto, and Jon Gambrell in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, contributed to this report.

Barcelona striker David Villa says he is happy about his understanding with Lionel Messi after his side's 3-1 win over Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.
The pair have been rumoured not to get along very well, but combined to great effect in the Liga clash, with each creating and scoring the Blaugrana's goals.
"The three goals were between Messi and me. I'm happy to participate directly with him on so many," the 31-year-old told Canal+.
He added to Barca TV: "I don't normally set up that many goals and I really feel valuable having done so in these last couple of matches.
"I'm very pleased with how I did this week and now I just want to make sure I carry on like that and help the team to get to the end of the league and the Champions League final."
Stand-in coach Jordi Roura added that the two players have a perfectly good relationship, despite rumours to the contrary over the years.
"People have always talked about this, but it seems absurd to me," the 45-year-old told reporters.
"Currently their relationship is the same as always, very good. I see no significance."
