Army Sgt. Timothy P. Martin often found himself surrounded by Iraqi children clamoring for candy and pens as he made his rounds. He asked his older sister and mother to send him a big box of both.
His sister Alisa, a dentist, laughingly replied, "What are you doing asking a dentist for hard candy?"
But his mother, Lucy, bought bags of candy and boxes of pens Feb. 7, planning to ship them to her son the next day. "I had a box ready to send him," she said.
She never got the chance. As she was standing in the kitchen the next morning, she heard the doorbell ring and her husband, Anthony, answer it.
"Right away I knew. As soon as I heard the word 'Army,' " she said.
Her youngest child had been killed in the Iraqi city of Taji.
Martin, 27, was born and raised near the small Central Valley farming town of Pixley, just off California 99. He graduated from Monache High School in Porterville in 1996 and earned a bachelor's degree in biology in 2004 at St. Mary's College of California in Moraga.
One of Martin's college professors remembered him at a memorial service as a true Renaissance man because of his widely varied interests and accomplishments. He competed in numerous sports, including weightlifting, football and basketball. He majored in human biology, and chose to enter the military in 2005 after graduation.
Although he was a loving son, he never wanted to follow in his father's footsteps as a dairy, corn and hay farmer, his mother said. Martin wanted to be an FBI agent. He hoped that studying and performing intelligence work in the military would help him win a spot with the federal agency.
"He was very competitive in every aspect of life," his mother said. "Tim was always very quiet, but always listened to people, and I think the FBI fit in his personality. . . . Tim was someone who loved to learn. He was intelligent, and he hoped that [the Army] would give him a chance."
Martin went to interrogation and intelligence classes as part of his training and studied Arabic for eight months before being shipped overseas. He also became an expert sharpshooter. He served in the Army for three years but had been in Iraq just two months. He was doing intelligence work while attached to an infantry unit when he was killed, his mother said.
She recalled her last phone conversation with him. He had been on duty all night and it was 3 a.m. his time Jan. 28. "Oh, Mom," he said, "I have lots of stories I could tell you. But I don't want to get in trouble."
"Tell me when you come back," she said.
In his last e-mail to her, on Feb. 5, he promised that he would catch her up with lots of stories when he returned. He thanked her for everything and then, as always, concluded with "Love you, Tim."
"I always told him I loved him, and I always expected him to say, 'Me too' or whatever, but even if he was in a roomful of guys, he would always say, 'I love you too, Mom,' " she recalled.
Martin was buried in Tulare Cemetery next to his sister Bryna, who died of leukemia in 1990.

Tesla Releases Earnings Report
Tesla Motors, Inc. (TSLA) released its quarterly and full-year earnings on Wednesday, February 7. The company posted increased revenues and a lower-than-expected net loss for the quarter.
The manufacturer of electric automobiles reported $3.29 billion in revenue for the quarter, exceeding the $2.99 billion reported at this time last year. For the full year, the company posted revenue of $11.8 billion, up from $7.0 billion the previous year.
"2018 will be a transformative year for Tesla, with a high level of operational scaling," said Tesla Chairman and CEO Elon Musk and Chief Financial Officer Deepak Ahuja in a letter to shareholders. "As we ramp production of both Model 3 and our energy products while keeping tight control of operating expenses, our quarterly operating income should turn sustainably positive at some point in 2018."
Tesla posted a net loss of $675.4 million for the quarter, exceeding the $121.3 million loss reported during the same quarter last year. For the full year, the company reported a loss of $1.96 billion.
Tesla, known for its drive to be on the cutting edge of electric automobile innovation, has struggled to turn a profit. The company's optimism rests in its ability to meet production goals on its new Model 3. In addition to its automobiles, Tesla is increasing production of its Solar Roof product, which is a solar panel that resembles traditional shingles. The company recently announced it will be partnering with Home Depot to market and sell its solar products in 2018.
Tesla Motors, Inc. (TSLA) shares ended the week at $310.42, down 8.2% for the week.
Hasbro Reports Earnings

"Hasbro's global team's execution of our Brand Blueprint drove revenue gains in Franchise Brands, Hasbro Gaming and Emerging Brands, including immersive brand experiences across consumer products and digital gaming," said Hasbro Chairman and CEO Brian Goldner. "Our strong performance ranked Hasbro #1 across the G11 markets for the full-year 2017."
Hasbro reported a net loss of $5.3 million for the quarter. At this time last year, the company posted net earnings of $192.7 million. For the full year, the company reported net earnings of $396.6 million, down from $533.1 million during the prior year.
The company's decrease in sales for the quarter can be attributed, in part, to the performance of its Partner Brands segment. Hasbro reported a 21% decline in revenue for Partner Brands for the quarter and 10% for the full year. The company noted that revenue was down for its Star Wars and Disney Frozen branded products. In contrast, Hasbro's Gaming segment posted a 10% increase for the year.

Revenue for the fourth quarter was $218.2 million. This was an increase of 12% over the $194.8 million in revenue the company reported at this time last year. Yelp reported $846.8 million in revenue for the full year.
"We finished 2017 strong with rising growth in new advertiser acquisition and continued improvements in revenue retention from the prior year," said Yelp co-founder and CEO Jeremy Stoppleman. "In 2018, we are focused on increasing consumer usage through deepening our product experience in the Restaurants category and attracting advertisers through expanding sales channels and increased ad product flexibility."

Treasury Yields Soar as Stocks Plummet
Yields on the 10-year Treasury note rose this week to their highest levels in four years. The yield spike has been a cause for concern in the stock markets, contributing to the stock market's plunge into a correction.
The benchmark10-year Treasury note yield was volatile throughout the week, opening at 2.85% on Monday and rising to a high of 2.88% before settling at 2.71% at the end of the day. By Thursday, however, the yield again reached its four-year peak of 2.88%.
"Quite honestly, getting to 3[%] or a little higher wouldn't be surprising to us," said Craig Bishop of RBC Wealth Management. "At this point it'll take another piece of economic data to do that."
The rise in bond yields is one of several factors contributing to this week's stock market volatility. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than a thousand points on Monday. Stocks rebounded somewhat midweek before another thousand-point plunge on Thursday.
"The big question to look toward is if rates are moving higher for a good reason," said Newfleet Asset Management Chief Investment Officer David Albrycht. "If rates are moving higher because we have a moderate pickup in growth and inflation, they're going up for the right reasons."
Despite the topsy-turvy week for markets, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) still appears set to raise rates three times in 2018, with the first hike coming as early as the FOMC's March meeting. The federal funds rate target range is currently 1.25% - 1.5%.
The 10-year Treasury note yield finished the week of 2/5 at 2.85%, while the 30-year Treasury note yield was 3.14%.
Mortgage Rates Continue Upward Trend
Freddie Mac released its latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS) on Thursday, February 8. Mortgage rates continued their steady rise this week.
The 30-year fixed rate mortgage averaged 4.32%. This is up from last week's average of 4.22%. During this time last year, the 30-year fixed rate mortgage was at 4.17%.
The 15-year fixed rate mortgage averaged 3.77% this week, up from 3.68% last week. Last year at this time, the 15-year fixed rate mortgage averaged 3.39%.
"The U.S. weekly average 30-year fixed mortgage rate rocketed up 10 basis points to 4.32% this week," said Len Kiefer, Deputy Chief Economist at Freddie Mac. "Following a turbulent Monday, financial markets settled down with the 10-year Treasury yield resuming its upward march. Mortgage rates have followed."
Based on published national averages, the money market account finished the week of 2/5 at 0.83%. The 1-year CD finished at 1.86%.

A TONGUE-lashing from Kilwinning Rangers boss Chris Strain was clearly taken to heart by his players as they battled back from adversity in the best possible style.
They beat struggling Arthurlie 4-1 in a McBookie Premier Division match on Saturday, just a week after going down 3-0 away to Bo'ness United in the third round of the Scottish Junior Cup.
And they did it the hard way, coming back from behind to seal all three points.
Now Buffs have an opportunity to soar to the top of the league this weekend and the boss is urging them to seize the day.
Strain had been bitterly disappointed with the display at Newtown Park but it was a different story back on home territory on Saturday as Buffs were back to their best, racking up their seventh win out of nine.
The manager said: "We started really well and were excellent throughout the 90 minutes. I was disappointed we lost a goal early on through a lapse of concentration. That proved a difficult time for us at it really tested our character. But we scored a lovely goal before half-tine through Michael Wardrope and dominated the second half. We worked hard and passed well, everyone looked good on the ball."
Strain, however, would not single out players and said: "Bryan Boylan will get the plaudits because he got two goals, but I felt it was a very good team performance. The players know when we get beaten we suffer together and when we win we win together. They do not become bad players because they lose a game and the players know that."
Buffs can go top by winning at Kilbirnie at Valefield Park on Saturday but Strain is taking nothing for granted and said: "It's a good position to be in. As Beith are in the cup we have an opportunity go top if we win and keep the momentum going, Kilbirnie have had an exceptional start to the season and are still a danger but we go there in good spirits. Hopefully we get a victory which puts us top of the table.
"But we won't get ahead of our station as we have done nothing, it's a decent start but leagues are not won in November. We just look to win the next game and see where it takes us."
James Latta misses the game through suspension but everyone else is available.
Irvine Meadow will hope to play at Dyce in their Scottish Junior Cup tie on Saturday after it was postponed for a second time. Irvine Vics are away to resurgent Saltcoats Vics after their game at Maybole fell victim to the weather.

Jessie St. James was one of the classiest starlets in the history of hardcore. She started out in the "sex-biz" as a sexual surrogate for an acclaimed therapist in the L.A. area, but she eventually realized that she was screwing for money ( and not a lot of it ), so she decided to check out the porn industry. She made her debut in 1975 with a small part in 'Blue Heat', then over the next few years worked sporadically. In 1979 she decided to jump in full force and began a legendary career in the blue cinema. Although she was a bit older than most of the other starlets in the industry at the time, she didn't let that slow her up at all. She garnered a reputation among directors & producers as one of the most dependable and capable actresses around.
Jessie was a stunning strumpet with long, beautiful blonde hair, a perfectly proportioned figure, & a brazen sexual appetite that she exuded in front of the cameras. She was a fan fave throughout her career, and still to this day, is considered legendary in adult cinema circles. Her best parts were when she was cast as a sexually frustrated or deprived housewife or lover. She was also good at the teacher seducing student type roles. Jessie used these talents to appear in some of the major classics: 'Talk Dirty to Me', 'Vista Valley PTA', 'Insatiable' & 'Charli' to name but a few. She also did nearly all her work in 35mm and as the video boom began to explode, Jessie kept pace and appeared in features right up to her early 90s retirement from the industry.

James, Serena, Sue Nero, Sharon Kane,
Kitty Shane, Kandi Barbour, Joey Silvera, Eric Edwards Synopsis: A kaleidoscopic trek through the far reaches of erotic excess, 'Extremes' is one of the most unique and original sex films of the early 80s. John Leslie and Joey Silvera star as a pair of sex-starved buddies who have somehow taken possession of $100,000 and a slick roadster that happens to be able to fly! The flick follows the guys on a quick-cutting series of erotic adventures as they travel the world in search of salacious sweeties. They pretend to be film producers, seducing youthful beauties with tales of starry nights and Hollywood heat. One after another, a selection of scrumptious sirens sashay their way into the guys' hearts -- and beds. From sultry sessions in San Francisco to wild fetish bars in Hamburg, the guys go anywhere and everywhere that their lusty libidos take them. They end up in the clinch with some of the sexiest women in early 80s porn, including busty beauty Sue Nero and the always delectable Serena. The film was shot by a European production company, and it retains a classy, elegant feel even when the action is at its most decadent. The rapid-fire editing techniques are ahead of their time and anticipate the flashy MTV-style effects of 90s hardcore. This is a classic of old school porn, scorchingly hot and erotically ambitious.

It's not often that you hear about rats that want to become world renowned chefs. In fact, most would rather go into the kitchen for food, cheese or other scraps instead of trying to cook complex dishes. That's not the case with Remy, a young French rat looking to fulfill his dreams of becoming famous with his own restaurant in Paris. The story of Remy and his culinary aspirations are the latest subject of Pixar's upcoming animated film, Ratatouille, and thanks to THQ and Heavy Iron Studios, gamers will be able to lead the rodent to his dreams of becoming a chef.
We managed to check out the game of the movie, which will follow the events of the film as well as provide a little additional backstory on the rodent and his friends. While the game is a family based title, Heavy Iron attempted to make sure that the gameplay was easy enough for little kids but deep and challenging enough for more experienced gamers. As a result, the designers put in a number of tips to tell players about Remy's various abilities, as well as a glowing outlines around items that can be interacted with. For players that manage to lose their way in the game's various environments, players can use Remy's scent vision to track down their primary objectives.
Impressively, the five environments (four of which are taken from the movie itself) are extremely large. If a player sees an area in the world, it's more than likely that they can travel there via jumps or other items, like a cocktail umbrella. The umbrella is one of those in-game items that uses the Sixaxis to maneuver around, leisurely floating wherever you direct Remy. Players will also use the Sixaxis to maintain their balance as they jump on sprinkler heads and other unsteady hops. While it doesn't shy away from its action platforming roots, the game places a heavy premium upon exploration.
While there are a certain number of tasks that you'll need to do in each stage, such as acquiring a set number of charms or collecting various items, players will be able to unlock up to thirty separate mini-games that they can play with up to four players. One of these was an insect crushing game where Remy and three other players could roll around on a pie crust and see which one was able to squash thirty bugs in a set time limit. Along with unlocking mini-games, players can also collect game tokens that will unlock concept art from both the game and the movie, as well as behind the scenes movies with the developers of the title.
Using the voice actors of the movie for the title and packing a lot of mini-games, Ratatouille should be released day and date with the film as it hits screens. We'll have more on Ratatouille soon.

The rotational defensive formation is probably the most commonly used defensive strategy among young and/or inexperienced volleyball teams. It allows the defense to better cover tips behind the block and dig deep line hits, as well as help the setter transition quickly from defense to offense. This guide will review the basics of the rotational defense.
Before the opposition sends the ball back to your side of the court, your team should get into the default defensive position also known as "defensive base," where each player switches from their original starting spot to the positions shown on the diagram below.
The defense has to continuously read the situation to anticipate the opponent's next move. If a pass to the setter is successfully completed, she could then dump the ball or set it to any of the front row players for an attack—a move that should become clear once the setter plays the ball and should prompt an immediate release into your rotation defense.
Defenders should transition as quickly as possible from "base position" (shown in the figure above) to the appropriate defensive location, since your team's chances of successfully digging the ball are exponentially increased by being in the correct defensive position before the opposing hitter makes contact.
The correct defensive positioning for each possible type of attack is discussed in depth below.
If the ball is set to an opponent's outside hitter while your team is in a rotation defense, the wing defenders (right back and left back) are responsible for covering the tip and the deep angle ball, while the middle back rotates to the same sideline to which the ball is set.
The diagram below illustrates each defender's position when the opponent sets the left front hitter:
The defensive formation for defending against the opposite/right side hitter is basically a mirror version of the outside hitter defensive formation.
Below is a diagram for defensive positioning during an opposite/right side attack:
The defensive formation for defending against a middle attack is similar to the base defense—the wing defenders take a diagonal step towards the net and towards the sideline, while the middle back defender step in towards the net.
Below is a diagram of the correct formation for defending against a middle attack:
When deciding which type of defense your team should run, consider two factors above all else:
The ideal defensive system plays to your strengths, but at the same time counters the strengths of your opponent.

Grief is one of those things that makes many of us uncomfortable. We're a society that likes to solve. Grief is ugly, painful, and on its surface unproductive (though I'd argue that underneath the surface it's highly productive).
I think we're particularly bad at grief when it's non-death-related. Death-related grief generally gets a pass. It's understood that the griever is mourning and that nothing other than time can soften the pain. It's also widely acknowledged as legitimate, as death is seen as the ultimate tragedy. It can't be solved. It just is.
What I'd like to encourage is an acceptance of grief as something that is personal and deserving of time and respect. Healing is possible, but only when the grief is given legitimacy.
As someone who has had an extremely hard year, I've noticed that while no words can make the grief disappear, some words can certainly exacerbate it.
Or at the very least exercising caution based on your knowledge of that individual.
One recommendation before I begin: Since death tends to be viewed as a legitimate source of grief, ask yourself if you'd say these things to a person grieving a death, as a litmus test for whether you should say them at all.
Grief isn't a decision made by people who spend careful hours contemplating their best course of action. It's a natural emotional reaction to loss and disappointment. Again, think of the death example. You wouldn't tell someone who lost a parent not to feel sad since sadness won't bring back their loved one.
A grieving person will at times feel angry about his loss. Accept this as part of the process rather than lecturing the griever about how he ought to pick himself up by the bootstraps/re-frame as positive/move on with life. Feeling anger and a sense of injustice temporarily is normal and does not signify a decision on the griever's part to never move on. Acknowledging a loss or challenge is also not the same as playing the victim.
This one depends a lot on the individual. For some, hearing that their grief is part of God's plan is comforting. For others, it comes off as flippant, as something that's easy for the non-suffering person to say when they're not the one in despair.
So what should you do?
Superb article. Sounds so real surrounded with real problem and practical solutions. Cheers!!

The Guardian, September 1999
The greatest dream of all good experts is to find a government who will listen and turn their research into reality. Some succeed. Peter Mortimore did. But the greatest frustration for any expert is to have found a government who finally listened - and ended up misunderstanding.
Twenty four years ago, Peter Mortimore abandoned a nine-year career as a school teacher to join a team of researchers who were about to embark on a special project for Professor Michael Rutter at the Institute of Psychiatry at the University of London. The goal which Mortimore and his colleagues set themselves was to try to identify the seeds of success in the classroom by spending four long years studying a dozen schools in London. They were to ignite one of the longest running theoretical disputes in the world of education.
In 1979, they published "Fifteen Thousand Hours: Secondary Schools and Their Effects on Children." It was a ground-breaking work. It challenged the conventional wisdom of the time by showing that although the social and economic background of pupils was a very powerful factor in deciding academic results, nevertheless it was not the whole story. Schools could make a difference, and they tried to identify the kinds of things which successful schools could do for their pupils to start to overcome their inherent social disadvantage.
This was important. There was no disguising the fact that state schools were in trouble. Numerous schools had been renamed 'comprehensive' without any training for staff or change in their curriculum. Local education authorities allowed their schools to be accountable to just about no one. Headteachers could be as secretive as they pleased, concealing their results and disguising their problems, failing to heed criticism or complaint. There was widespread concern that some teaching methods were sloppy and ineffective and that 'child centered' learning had reached a point of absurdity where teachers declined to mark their students' work for fear of appearing critical. Many schools appeared to have low expecations of their students, reflected in indifferent results. Now, finally, there was a chance to spread the best practice, to make schools more effective.
It took nearly ten years for the message to get through to the Department of Education. By that time, the research had been confirmed and refined repeatedly, in the United States as well as in Britain, and there was real excitement about a cluster of possibilities for school improvement - some involved different approaches to leadership and management, some to classroom technique. But, when they finally acted, Conservative ministers grabbed the wrong end of the stick and started beating teachers over the back with it. They fired off a volley of reforms - league tables, SATs tests, Ofsted inspections - all of which was aimed at the kind of School Effectiveness which Mortimore and his colleagues had identified and all of which utterly ignored the fact that the social and economic background of pupils remained a very powerful factor.
Mortimore and others tried to warn them. They explained that the most you could hope to achieve by improving schools was an increase of between eight and ten per cent in results. It was important and yet it was only a fraction of the whole. It was like watching a furious motorist pumping up the tyres on a car which had run out of petrol: it might eventually help the car to run more smoothly, but if he refused to address the real problem, it would do very little good and sooner or later, if he just carried on pumping regardless, something was bound to blow.
By now, Mortimore had become one of the leading experts on education in the country and had been appointed head of the Institute of Education at the University of London. In a book called Road to Improvement, he warned: "It is crucial that policy makers desist from claiming that school improvement - by itself and in the absence of extra resources - can solve all the problems. Whilst this might be true in 'advantaged' schools, it is certainly not true in disadvantaged schools." Rather like the atom scientists who saw their work hijacked by government for immoral ends, he saw his warnings ignored.
The difficulty was that School Effectiveness was immensely attractive to politicians. By pinpointing the work of teachers and administrators, it completely absolved central government of all possible responsibility for failure. By sidelining the impact of intake, it permitted policies which focussed on detail in the school and were therefore relatively cheap, and which promised to deliver results quickly and were therefore electorally attractive. And so the Department for Education and Ofsted were already committed to hunting down failing schools and attributing their failure entirely to the weakness of teachers and managers, ignoring the destructive impact of an intake which had become progressively more delinquent as the new poverty swept through the country. The government's supporters were determined to recognise part of the truth and nothing but that part of the truth. Conservative columnists savaged Mortimore's book, effectively accusing him of not understanding his own research.
Ofsted and education ministers justified themselves by pointing to the performance of a group of schools with a disadvantaged intake, who appeared to have succeeded against the odds. The National Commission on Education organised studies of eleven such schools and found there was real evidence that, despite their intake, these schools had succeeded, using a combination of strong leadership, the setting of clear targets, and the involvement of parents and staff and community. And yet this study warned, first that none of the eleven schools saw government policy as helpful; and secondly that "the nature of school improvement.. has yet to be thoroughly understood and measured in a sensible and sensitive way." Researchers expressed real doubt about whether such schools would succeed in the long term, once the special effort of rescuing them subsided; and whether, in any event, there was any prospect of schools generally achieving these exceptional results; and, finally, whether some of those who were being credited with success against the odds had not simply attracted an easier intake of children.
One of those who took part in the eleven studies and who celebrated the achievement of these schools was Professor Peter Mortimore. However, this support for his early work only left him struggling all the harder to persuade the government to understand the rest of the story: "Whilst some schools can succeed against the odds, the possibility of them all doing so, year in and year out, still appears remote, given that the long-term patterning of educational inequality has been strikingly consistent throughout the history of public education in most countries.... We must be aware of the dangers of basing a national strategy for change on the efforts of outstanding individuals working in exceptional circumstances." None of which has stopped the government pursuing precisely such a strategy.

Chennai: Even as Sri Lanka's jumbo delegation continues its heavy lobbying in Geneva ahead of a US resolution against the country at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) this week, a new footage showing the summary execution of the 12-year-old son of slain LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran is likely to bring fresh pressure on the island nation.
The footage is part of a new Channel 4 documentary titled Sri Lanka's Killing Fields: War Crimes Unpublished to be aired this Wednesday. It will provide additional evidence of alleged human rights violations, including summary executions, by the Sri Lankan army during the final phase of its war against the LTTE.
The earlier part of the film, broadcast a year ago, carried chilling footage of large-scale shelling of civilians and human rights violations that led to instant damning of the country.
In an article published in the Independent yesterday, Callum Macrae, the British journalist-filmmaker who made both the documentaries, describes the scene involving Prabhakaran's son vividly:
"A 12-year-old boy lies on the ground. He is stripped to the waist and has five neat bullet holes in his chest. His name is Balachandran Prabakaran and he is the son of the LTTE leader, Velupillai Prabhakaran. He has been executed in cold blood. Beside him lie the bodies of five men, believed to be his bodyguards. There are strips of cloth on the ground indicating that they were tied and blindfolded before they were shot – further evidence suggesting that the Sri Lankan government forces had a systematic policy of executing many surrendering or captured LTTE fighters and leading figures, even if they were children."
Besides the footage, Macrae has obtained high-resolution pictures of the boy with bullet wounds, which were analysed by a forensic pathologist Prof. Derrick Pounder. Quoting Prof. Pounder, Macrae says: "It is possible that the boy may have been made to watch the execution of his bound and blindfolded guards before the gun was turned on him."
On the forensic analysis, he continues, quoting Prof. Pounder: "There is a speckling from propellant tattooing, indicating that the distance of the muzzle of the weapon to this boy's chest was two to three feet or less. He could have reached out with his hand and touched the gun that killed him."
Remarkably chilling words there.
The film will also show further evidence that the Sri Lankan government prevented humanitarian assistance to the civilians trapped in the "grotesquely misnamed no-fire zones."
The new evidence comes in the wake of serious assertions by members of the Sri Lankan delegation that the the US resolution is an infringement on the sovereignty of the country. Camping in Geneva, they claim to have obtained the support of China, Pakistan, Russia, OIC and African countries and non-aligned member states.
Sri Lanka's special envoy Mahinda Samarasinghe, who will address the resolution at the UNHRC, has reportedly said his country had enough support from member states to defeat the resolution. The country's position is that its domestic mechanism is capable of addressing the issues, and hence international interference should not be encouraged.
The draft resolution by the US, submitted to the Council on Wednesday last, calls on the Sri Lankan government to implement the recommendations in the report of the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC), set up by the Sri Lankan government to look into alleged rights violations. But LLRC was seen as a ploy to prevent international scrutiny.
The resolution also calls for all necessary steps to fulfill Sri Lanka's relevant obligations and commitment to initiate credible and independent actions to ensure justice, equity, accountability and reconciliation for all Sri Lankans. In addition, it asks for a comprehensive action plan on the steps that the government has taken, and will take, to implement LLRC recommendations, and to address alleged violations of international law.
While acknowledging the "constructive recommendations" of the LLRC, the resolution notes with concern that the report doesn't address serious allegations of violations of international humanitarian law. If the resolution is passed, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) will be asked to intervene to implement the steps.
Dismissing international pressure in the face of mounting evidence of human rights violations, Sri Lanka always maintained that the evidence was fabricated and if at all there were some incidents, the country was competent enough to handle it. The country, speaking in a single voice except the Tamils, including through its proxies, decried that the West was immorally interfering in its internal matters.
In the midst of all this, the most disturbing ambiguity was that of India, which never condemned Sri Lanka for its alleged excesses, but opted to focus on the softer humanitarian and political dimensions. Such a stand has irked the political parties in Tamil Nadu where it has a certain emotional appeal.
The new film will definitely raise the protest pitch in Tamil Nadu. Although the sympathy for LTTE has always been limited to a few provincial outfits, the people of the state and the political parties are unequivocal in their stand on the oppression of Tamils in Sri Lanka and the killing of civilians.
Continues on the next page
All the political parties, including the local unit of the Congress, have asked the centre to support the US resolution. Jayalalithaa, a staunch critic of the LTTE, but a stronger votary of Tamil rights in Sri Lanka, has led the chorus and even gone a step ahead, asking the Centre not to send any Lankan VIP to the state without consulting her.
Despite the outcry and the unanimous demand from the entire political class from Tamil Nadu, the Centre hasn't made its stand regarding the US resolution clear. SM Krishna's words on the issue were not categorical when he said: "Certainly we will take into account the overall relationship between India and Sri Lanka and the sentiments that are prevalent in our country (Tamil Nadu). We will take every factor into consideration before we take a final call on our stand in Geneva."
Krishna's words betray India's diplomatic predicament vis-a-vis Sri Lanka and its geopolitical strategy in the region. The China-Pakistan-Russia axis that the island nation brags about to sail through in international forums is a nagging thorn in the flesh. The presence of China and Pakistan in Sri Lanka are too strong to ignore and India doesn't want to lose out on whatever influence it has on the island. Sri Lanka knows India's weakness well and has been playing ping-pong with it quite a while now. Even during the height of the war, India's criticism of Sri Lankan excesses were, at best, muted.
Even if India abstains, it will be seen as yet another instance of the Centre's indifference to the sentiments of the people of Tamil Nadu. The parties in Tamil Nadu will get a new handle to attack the Congress for betraying the interests of Tamils.
Interestingly, the recommendations that the US resolution wants implemented, are not external prescriptions, but have been suggested by Sri Lanka's handmaiden, the LLRC. The LLRC recommends the need to credibly investigate widespread allegations of extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances besides demilitarising the North and implementing impartial land dispute resolution mechanisms.
It also calls for strengthening of formerly independent civil institutions, re-evaluate detention policies, reach a political settlement involving devolution of power to the provinces, promote and protect the right of freedom of expression for all and enact rule of law reforms.
These recommendations are not radical and will be only be in Sri Lanka's interest, to clear its name of the alleged excesses. Fixing accountability and taking reparative steps will serve its image better than the majoritarian jingoistic shrills that one gets to hear from the country whenever the "T" and "HR" words are mentioned.

Rapid City Public Library engages total community in National Library Card Sign-Up Month
by John Pappas
Rapid City Public Library
Each September, the Rapid City Public Library does a READ poster promotion in conjunction with the local businesses and non-profits of Rapid City. During that time, we display READ posters in both of our libraries (RCPL-Downtown and RCPL-North) to help promote the businesses and non-profits that work with us on a daily basis to encourage library card registration.
Each business we feature agrees to provide a special benefit or incentive (like a price discount or "Buy One Get One Free" offer) to customers that show their RCPL library card when making any purchases. Participants then get a READ poster to display at their location as well. We can tailor their special offer to something that makes sense for their business and needs.
"The Library's READ poster campaign provides us with the opportunity to interact with and engage the community from outside the Library doors" states Library Director, Greta Chapman "as well as develop relationships with area businesses and non-profit organizations."
READ posters are photographed, designed and framed by our Publications Department. This year, along with past participants, we are happy to include the Museum of Geology at South Dakota School of Mines, Girls Incorporated at Youth and Family Services as well as Boy's Club.
The READ poster project is only one part of what the Rapid City Public Library does to promote community engagement during National Library Card Sign-Up Month. Outreach events to area schools, interaction through our social networking sites as well as library-wide prize drawings encourage community interaction and interest in new and ever-expanding library services.
Mystery Room offers quiet, adult space
by Amber Wilde
Grace Balloch Memorial Library
In May 2008, the Grace Balloch Memorial Library in Spearfish celebrated the dedication of the Kathy Follette and Mattie McVey Mystery Room. The room, created in memory of two members of the Spearfish library community – Kathy, a beloved reference librarian lost to cancer in 2007, and Mattie, an educator and patron – has become a source of pride and comfort to library patrons.
The Mystery Room houses the mystery collection, Kathy's favorite, as well as a single cup coffee machine, cozy chairs, reading lamps, and an electric fireplace in a quiet, inviting space. The room solved a number of practical problems: what to do with a collection that has outgrown the available shelving, how to deal with patrons who complain the library is not the quiet place it once was, and how to appropriately honor two special people.
The room was made possible with memorial donations in honor of both women and the cooperation of city employees and a local decorator who donated their time as well as several local businesses that sold furnishings at cost. The space that was formerly a storage room took months to clean out, paint, and decorate, but since its opening the overwhelmingly positive response has made all the work worthwhile.
Concern about moving the mystery collection away from the other adult fiction was overcome by the fact that patrons were welcomed into a quiet, adult space where they could get away from the normal chaos of everyday library functions and settle in with a cup of coffee and a good book. And the patrons who for years had been asking that children be quieted and confined didn't complain a bit when the library elected to confine the adults instead.
Read Around the Clock
Here's a bulletin board idea to encourage your readers with a bit of old time rock'n roll. Deb Bonte, third grader teacher at Beresford Elementary, and her Vermillion Valley Reading Council committee used the theme and display for their awards night and also to decorate at the 2009 SD Reading Council Conference held in July.
Homemade pies motivate
summer readers
Danielle Wilkinson, community librarian at the Elk Point-Jefferson School/Community Library, loves to bake pies. The high school and adult readers in her community love to eat them. So, for every book read during June, July and August readers enter their names in a drawing for a free pie. Every two weeks a reader wins a homemade pie of their choice. All books in the "Graveyard" (the back stacks where the old books live) are worth two chances.

Third Best Paranormal Romance Story - [writing deleted]
I would really like to see some paranormal romance. I'm talking warewolves, and other such creatures. It can even be a person with some kind of power.
It has to be a story, and I ask that you make it somewhat short. It doesn't have to be two paragraphs short, but I ask that you don't make it so long that I have to take breaks in between paragraphs.
The story can be as sweet or as erotic as you wish. I absolutly love erotic stories, but I also love sweet, romantic stories. It has to be a romance, and please nothing with girl on girl or boy on boy action, because I don't really like reading it. Its fine to enter a story with a same sex couple as long as it doesn't get descriptive with any sexual encounters, because I won't read it.
Other than that, any other sexual encounters are welcomed and encouraged so long as it's between a man and a woman, or I guess I should say a female and a male, because I'm not really sure if you would classify a creature as a man or woman. haha.
I ask that you don't submit anything with vampires, as they are highly overused right now, and I am sick of reading about them. Its fine if a vampire makes an appearence in the story, but they cant be the main character.
Well have fun with this and good luck. I'm going to try to keep up with reading submissions as they come in, and am going to put up several awards.
I am changing it to TWO submissions, so that you have a better chance. I also moved the date up to December so that you have more time.
Bragging rights, lots of reviews, and a fancy ribbon for your page.

You would think after years of being part of a scripted reality series, the TOWIE lot would be able to remember their lines.
But when we asked them to film messages to co-star Dan Osborne and his girlfriend Jacqueline Jossa , they got rather tongue-tied.
Who said some scenes had been created for our entertainment?
The EastEnders actress and her boyfriend TOWIE star Dan Osborne welcomed the arrival of their little bundle of joy yesterday evening.
Dan tweeted the happy news, writing: "So so so so happy to tell you all!! Our baby girl Ella arrived yesterday evening @jacquelineMjos done SO well, proud of you. I love you."
While Jacqueline, who announced she was expecting her first child with Dan last August, tweeted shortly after saying she was "perfect".
"Baby ella osborne was born yesterday thankyou @DannyO and @Sarabro2 for everything. Amazing. She's perfect," she wrote.
Dan's old TOWIE cast mate Lucy Mecklenburgh led the way with congratulatory messages.
"Congratulations @jacquelineMjos & @DannyO .. I bet baby Ella is beautiful," Lucy tweeted.
While Jacqueline's mum Selina has said she's "one proud nanny" following the announcement.
"@DannyO @jacuelineMjos you both done a great job yesterday, I'm one proud nanny baby Ella is amazing nan and grandad jossa love you all [sic]."
Jacqueline's sister Katrina also took to Twitter to gush over her new baby niece.
"Aww you did well too! She is sooo beautiful, I am a very proud auntie! Can't wait to see the little cutie again xxx.
"Well done you! You done amazing! I love Ella so much already [sic]," she continued.

Related article: Date: Fri, 20 Sep 2002 22:10:49 +0800 From: jacko99westnet.com.au Subject: African KidnappingAs a white guy who loves black men, this is my fantasy. I hope enjoy it. Please email me on jacko99westnet.com.auThanks Jacko. African Kidnapping.I was a twenty three year old Australia guy, bumming it around South and West Africa on an extended holiday. I had little money, however could usually find a good time wherever I went.The two mates I was travelling with had been together for a couple of months when I joined them about six weeks ago and we all got on well together. Michael was from southern England and was a good looking guy with the usual smooth pale skin, sandy hair and good body, as he played a lot of soccer at home. Mike, who was about 24, was well educated, but lacked the so called street skills of survival that our other friend Jose had, Jose was from somewhere in New York and had been brought up to know how to survive on the streets. He was a good-looking Porto Rican guy, 21 years, who had dropped out of college after a year and a half and had started to travel. As I said, we had been together for about six weeks travelling up the west coast of Africa, and had originally met up in Cape Town. We had enjoyed the scenery, the people and a bit of good diving on the west coast of South Africa and Namibia.My real story starts as we were heading northwest from the Ivory Coast, through Guinea and into Sierra Leone. Our plan was to get to Freetown for a few days and then travel north up the west coast of north West Africa.We each had Honda bikes, which we had bought in Cape Town. It was cheap travel and you could see a lot of country as you drove. Some roads were good, however most were very bad and we had to be very careful as we travelled, as that part of Africa was not the safest place in the world to be. We usually camped in the scrub and washed in whatever rivers or streams were available. I used to get quite turned on watching Mike and Jose skinny dip. One was so white and other, Jose, was quite dark and so well hung. I would love to have seen his cock hard. It would have had to have been at least two to three inches longer than mine and I'm 7.5" thick and cut. Mike, I guessed, was about the same as myself, however was not cut, the same as Jose. Both guys were smooth skinned not like me as I had a hairy chest. We were all very fit and our bodies well toned. We played real man type games while swimming, with the occasional grope, but all acting very straight. It was pity, as I would have loved to be fucked by either of them, and even slip a length into either tight butts, but I guessed that was not to be. I would have to satisfied with jacking off when I could sneak off into the bush to shit.We were about one Preteen Tits hundred kilometres from Freetown, just passed a place called Yonibana and heading into some very hilly and heavily timbered country, when we where stopped by a group of young black men in their early twenties. They were all dressed in those camouflaged type trousers with boots and no shirts. All were big guys and looked really fit, as their chests were well defined and muscled As we did not want any trouble we did everything they asked. A couple of them could speak English and they informed us that their leader wanted to meet us. It was all very friendly, so we were not all that alarmed at that time. It wasn't until they got our bikes onto the back of the truck that things started to get rough.A very tall and solid black guy ordered us into the back of the truck with our bikes. Jose, in his usual smart ass way asked why. With this the big guy ordered his followers to throw us into the truck, binding our hands together in front of us and then tying the rope to pipe frame above our heads, so that our arms where stretched upwards as we stood in the back of the truck. The rest of the ten or twelve black guys all climbed aboard and sat around the edge of the truck as we headed off into the dense bush. A couple of the black guys started touching up Mike. They were saying something about a pretty white boy, but I couldn't quite understand. I did notice that Mike was getting a bit excited as he had quite a lump in his trousers. Even though most off these guys were young and quite good looking with no shirts and well muscled bodies, I was far too scared to get in the slightest bit excited sexually.We had been travelling for about twenty minutes when the truck stopped. Four of the black guys got out to piss. The three guys that had been touching up Mike again got interested and with the encouragement from some of the others, undid his zipper and pulled down his jeans and his underwear, exposing his growing cock. He face was bright red with embracement, and although he was as scared as we were, his cock just kept getting harder. One of the well built black guys stood up, pulled out his big soft black cock and started to jack it off, teasing Mike as he did so. One of the other guys walked up to Jose and myself and grabbed us both in the crutch and said something that I did not understand. The rest of the group thought it was very funny as they all fell around laughing. One of the three Preteen Tits started to jack Mike off. The guys that were pissing got back in the truck and we again headed north, but the guy jacking Mike continue with the wild encouragement of the rest of the group. I could see that a few of the black guys were also getting excited as their cocks started tenting their trousers. The guy who had pulled out his cock in fun was now nearly fully hard. A couple of them pointed to me and one guy lent forward end undid my belt and the zipper on my jeans, pulling them down to expose my thickening cock. The guy next to him then did the same to Jose. As his monster was revealed there were big hoots and whistles and a couple of the guys grabbed his cock and gave it a couple of tugs. The black guys all started pointing to the big guy at the front of the truck, pulling out Jose's cock. I think they were trying to get this guy to compare size. He shook his head, but they kept on at him until he stood up, walked up to Jose, unbuttoned his trousers and pulled out a real monster cock. I don't know if it was bigger or not than Jose's, but it was real black, thick and heavy with big veins. He grabbed his and Jose's cocks docking then together with both foreskins together and started to jack them. The rest of the guys went mad. Someone stuck his finger up my arse as the big black looked at me and said in rough English and a toothy grin "You like?" He must have known I liked as my cock was getting very hard. He reached down with his other hand and started to jack my cock. Jose looked at me with a slight grim of his face. He was loving this.The action was just starting to get very hot when we pulled into an opening in the timber and a few huts. Another ten or so guys came out to meet the truck. As they did, the guys in the truck put their cocks away and did up their trousers. We unfortunately had to stand there with our hands tied above our heads and our jean around our ankles and our cocks still quite hard. They all stood around pointing and laughing for about a minute, when a very tall and extremely well built and handsome guy came out of the big hut at the end of the clearing. The talking and laughing subsided as he approached and he said something to the truck driver, who answered him. The big guy then said something to the whole group and they all pointed to Mike. The big guy laughed and gave an order. With that four guys jumped up onto the back of the truck and undid Mike and dragged him off the back and into one of the huts followed by most of the men. It wasn't hard to work out what was going to happen to Mike. The big guy then barked another order and a stack more guys jump up on the truck and undid both mine and Jose's ropes from the canopy frame and lead us off the back of the truck and into the big hut at the end of the clearing.The big black leader then joined us and I asked in a very shaky voice what he was going to do with us. He informed both Jose and myself, in very good English, that we were going to stay with him and his friends for some time and that we, Jose and I were to be his official masturbators. Someone translated this and the whole room of black guys burst into laughter.He then barked another order, and we were striped of all our clothing and shoes. He then told us that to venture out of the hut with no shoes would be a great mistake, as the thorns around the camp would not only cripple us but would also poison our bodies. With this the ropes around our wrist undone and we stood there beaten and very scared.He barked another order and all but four of the biggest black guys left the hut. Both Jose and I were taken by two guys each and lead off to the corner where we were each doused with water and washed by the guards. We were then lead back into the centre of the hut where we found the boss guy stretched out on a bed with his boots and trousers off and his big cock sticking out of his bright red boxers. He said "One of you guys are going to suck my cock and the other is going to suck my balls. Please yourselves." We stood dumb founded, when he pointed to me. "You suck this!" I was then pushed to my knees by the two guards.He had a magnificent cock and I was very much looking forward to sucking all the cum out of it. I peeled the thick, long foreskin back down to reveal a big plump pink cock head. I bent and licked the big drop of pre cum off the cock slit and milked another large drop from his thick cock. Jose was pushed down to the big hairless balls that hung under this magnificent piece of meat. He eagerly sucked on one of those great eggs as I devoured as much as I could his great cock. Jose smiled at me and whispered that I should have told him that I liked this sort of action as he had been wanting my cock since we first met.I heard some movement behind us as the four guards started to undress. I knew what was to come. As I slipped off the end of the big cock I whispered to Jose "Have you been fucked before?" He just smiled at me. There were four or five guys pushing into the building as the four big guards got undressed. I could see that they were Preteen Tits all very well endowed with big semi hard cocks swaying between their legs and large scrotums full of heavy balls thick with cum. Only one was cut, all the rest had large foreskins covering their hard dicks. They started to jack them as they watched Jose and I suck off the boss man. He had hold of my head and was pumping his big dick deep into my throat. One of the guards got a bucket of cooking oil from the stove and started covering my cock and balls and my arse with this lube. His mate did the same to Jose. He then lubed up his friend's cock as he knelt down to position his cock head at the entrance of my arse. His friend first stuck two fingers from one hand, then two from the other into me and stretched my arse wide so I could accommodate this big black man's big black cock. He moved forward placing his cock head between the fingers of his friend and slowly pushed forward. The other two guys were doing the same to Jose. He let out a moan of delight, as did I when my guy started to enter me. He was so thick and long. I had never had a dick that big before. He kept pushing into me as his friend pulled my arse cheeks apart. I eventually felt his tight pubes at my arse cheeks and knew he was fully inside me. His friend grabbed my cock and balls and stretched them down to stop me from cumming too early as his mate started to fuck my arse as it had never been fucked before. His mate slowly worked on my greased cock and balls, holding my balls tight so I would not cum. The other guys were doing the same to Jose who was in seventh heaven. I looked up at the Boss man who had a big smile on his face. "I think you boys are going to like your stay here" he said. Jose's cock was very hard now and I could see one of the guys slowly jacking it. As I had guessed it was immense.One of the on-lookers at the door pushed forward and held an amyl bottle under my nose. It was the strongest Preteen Tits stuff I'd ever inhaled and sent my head into a spin. The ring of my arse and my cock head felt so good and the pre cum tasted so sweet. Just then the boss man unloaded the biggest load into my mouth. It was so good. Preteen Tits Thick, sweet and so creamy. My fucker was pumping my arse so hard and his mate jacking me so well I was so close. I felt the cock in my arse push to the hilt and flex as it pulsated it's hot load deep into me as I erupted into the hands of the guy jacking me. He immediately dived under me and sucked the remaining juice out of me. Jose had been watching me cum and came bolt upright as he unloaded long white strips of ropey cum all over the boss man stomach. His arse fucker was also depositing his load deep in Jose's bowels. The guy that was jacking Jose then lent forward and quickly licked up all the cum, apart from that scooped up by the boss himself and sucked from his finger.What hot man sex. I had to have more.The boss guy got up and pulled up his trousers, as he did he motion for the five or six guys a t he door to come in and he said something to them which mad them all very happy and then he left.The five or six guys were quickly getting undressed and by that stage I had worked out what the

His appointment of Pruitt is interesting. Pruitt would love to shut down the EPA.
Appointing Carson to HUD is another indication of intent. He HATES the welfare system, and has spoken openly of his contempt for it.
Puzder will be tasked with shutting down the Department of Labor. He was CEO of Hardee's and has railed against labor regulations.
Chao's husband McConnell will profit handsomely if the Department of Transportation is shuttered.
DeVos will make money by shutting down the Department of Education through her private education company.
Price is a doctor and will make money by drastically cutting the Department of Health & Human Services.
Could it be that a government bloodbath is coming? Could Trump actually have the audacity to completely shut down these various Cabinet positions, returning the power back to the states?
Just speculation, but I'll be curious to see what the results are.
Is Trumpussolini going to shut down various Departments?
His appointment of Pruitt is interesting. Pruitt would love to shut down the EPA.
