Here is a question about this article: Gaddafi sought to develop closer links in the Maghreb; in January 1974 Libya and Tunisia announced a political union, the Arab Islamic Republic. Although advocated by Gaddafi and Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba, the move was deeply unpopular in Tunisia and soon abandoned. Retaliating, Gaddafi sponsored anti-government militants in Tunisia into the 1980s. Turning his attention to Algeria, in 1975 Libya signed the Hassi Messaoud defence agreement allegedly to counter "Moroccan expansionism", also funding the Polisario Front of Western Sahara in their independence struggle against Morocco. Seeking to diversify Libya's economy, Gaddafi's government began purchasing shares in major European corporations like Fiat as well as buying real estate in Malta and Italy, which would become a valuable source of income during the 1980s oil slump.
What is the answer to this question: What was the name of the abortive political union between Tunisia and Libya in 1974?

Arab Islamic Republic

Cultural Differences
KIRKUK, Iraq – “If we left here now,” said Sgt. Efrain Fuentes of McAllen, Tex., gesturing toward a group of officers from Iraq’s Emergency Services Unit, “these guys are ready. They’re really good. We really don’t do much.”
As American forces plan to withdraw from Iraq, Sergeant Fuentes’s words are the hope underlying the country’s future security.
For four months his unit, Alpha battery, 3rd Battalion, 82nd field artillery regiment, has been training members of the E.S.U., a quick-response force of low-paid, poorly educated officers whom Sergeant Fuentes described as a model for all Iraqi security forces.
On a recent morning, at the unit’s weekly training session, the model showed both its seams and its potential.
As often, the E.S.U. officers were late to arrive at the American base. Matthew Watson, an international police adviser who led the training, took their tardiness with clenched humor. “These guys show up later each week,” he said. “Pretty soon they’re going to show up at 11:15 and say, ‘let’s go to lunch.’ ”
Mr. Watson, who works for the State Department, led the group in an exercise in neutralizing an “active threat” – a kidnapper who was threatening to kill hostages. The strategy was counter to Iraqi methods, Mr. Watson said, because it called on officers to risk their lives to save others’.
In a battered building, Mr. Watson pretended to hold 12 hostages, and assigned four E.S.U. officers to rescue them. “Bang!” he yelled, indicating that he had killed one. The Iraqis moved methodically through the building, clearing each room before moving to the next. “Bang!” Mr. Watson yelled. By the time the officers reached him, he had “killed” all the hostages and himself.
Then he asked them to change methods, sacrificing their safety to save the hostages, a strategy that American police departments adopted after the 1999 school shooting in Columbine. The four officers sped directly to the room where Mr. Watson held the hostages, “saving” eight of them.
Mr. Watson signaled for the next four officers to try the exercise. The Iraqis conferred among themselves. Finally the interpreter explained, “The officers don’t want to do it, because they say we have a lot of experience and we don’t need it.”
Mr. Watson regrouped. “I understand there’s some cultural differences,” he said. “It’s O.K.”
“Cultural differences” – the loaded phrase peppers many discussions of Iraqi training or methods, and enfolds volumes about the likely aftermath of American withdrawal.
Iraqi security forces have closer intelligence connections and understand the people better than their American counterparts, said Capt. Sam Allen, the battery commander. But the Iraqi soldiers have often been tools for sectarian vendettas, and sometimes leak information to their putative targets. And they work at tremendous risk, often becoming targets for insurgents.
To American soldiers, the cultural differences can take some getting used to. Two nights before the training session, Captain Allen’s Iraqi counterpart had planned a raid on a suspected weapons cache. The Iraqis would conduct the raid; the Americans would provide support. But when the weather called for rain, the Iraqis canceled the mission.
“It was absolutely the right call,” Captain Allen said, noting that a raid would have tracked mud into people’s houses, making more enemies than the troops arrested – a consideration that Americans might have considered secondary. “It’s not the way we’re used to doing things, but it has become the way we’re used to doing things,” he said.
Across such cultural differences, the Iraqis learn from the Americans and the Americans learn from the Iraqis, imperfectly and only within limits. And still the training continues, with both sides complying on some points and pushing back on others.
Col. Orhan Khaleel Juma, the E.S.U. battalion’s commander, said he would be sorry to see the Americans leave, but told them, “The major point is that we need top cover from aircraft. Otherwise we can handle it.” Then he joked, “before you go I have to beat you with my jump shot, just like I beat you at ping pong.”
The colonel’s cellphone rang, and as the Americans waited around him, he took the call.

Write an article based on this "Locate the VIN on your car to start the decoding process. Find detailed information quickly by entering the entire VIN online. Use a service to check whether your vehicle has a history of damage. Use the other methods to decode it yourself."
article: You'll need to find a long serial number, usually 17 digits, marked somewhere on your car or truck. It may be in one of several locations. You can read the wikihow article on how to Find Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) or look in the common locations listed below. Look on the dash at the base of the windshield on the driver's side for a small plaque. Look for a sticker on the driver's door. A VIN may also be found in the front of the engine block, easily visible once you open the hood. On most newer vehicles, some body parts such as fenders and hoods also have the VIN on them for identification and matching parts to the vehicle. Open the driver-side door, and look at the where the side view mirror would be located if the door were shut. Older cars may have VINs found elsewhere, such as on the steering column, radiator support bracket, or the left-side inner wheel arch. You can find websites that can decode the VIN of most manufacturers automatically. Try VIN Decoder.net if you're looking for detailed, quickly accessible information. You can try to find a VIN lookup on your car manufacturer's web site, but it's not guaranteed to have one. If your vehicle was manufactured before 1980, it might have a nonstandard VIN. If free lookup websites don't work, try a paid service such as CARFAX, AutoCheck, or VinAudit. These should give you a little information for free, but a full VIN decoding will cost money. Specialized VIN websites and VIN lookup services exist to see whether your vehicle was involved in an accident, fire, or other damaging situation. You cannot decode this information from a VIN yourself, since the VIN for a vehicle never changes. These services just take advantage of the fact that police and other organizations use the unique VIN to describe a car in accident reports. First, try the free service at The National Insurance Crime Bureau website. If you cannot get information for free online, you may need to pay for a Vehicle History Report. This should be included in the VIN report services described earlier, such as VinAudit's. Follow the methods below instead if you want to have fun decoding it yourself, or if your vehicle was made by an unusual manufacturer not decodable by a website. Finding out where and when your car was made should be easy, while the other methods may take extra effort. These codes are fully standardized in North America. Elsewhere in the world, most major manufacturers follow the same standards, but they may use the 9th and 10th characters for different purposes. In North America, the 9th must be used as "checking code" to confirm the VIN is real, and the 10th must be used to indicate the year the car was made.
Write an article based on this "Look up her family members' sites on Facebook. Look up her friends on Facebook. Look up school alumni groups."
article: Do you remember any of her family members' names? If so, they may be on Facebook. This is especially true of younger relatives. Look through their friend lists. If she's on Facebook, it's likely she will be friends with her family members. Again, remember that the name's rarity has to be factored in. If she was named Jane, but her brother was named Tobias, you may have more luck trying to find him because of his name's rarity. Also, men don't change their last names through marriage usually, so searching for her father or brother or other male relatives is a good bet. Can you find any of these? If so, you could add them and ask them if they know about her. See if you have mutual friends with her. Facebook has a “mutual friends” feature that Facebook uses to match you with a name. If you have any mutual friends at all, she will be high on the list. Look on the right column under the feature “people you may know” and see if she comes up (she may if you have a mutual friend). Or you could just scour their friend lists to see if she's listed on them. This will work better if you knew her recently because it will be more likely she is still in touch with them. Do you know any details about her? Where she went to school or where she worked? If so, it may be worthwhile finding the school or company on Facebook. These people might know her. You also might find that she is already a member of the school alumni group or has posted on comments on it. You might be able to jog your memory of her family members' names or friends' names by looking at alumni groups or high school yearbooks (many are also scanned in online).

For a professional finish and ease of production, buy a full button press. They aren't that much money and it will make the work a lot easier, if you need to make several hundred buttons. You can also buy a hand-held cheap version but this produces a cheap-looking button. You can also get paper cutters which will further streamline the process. Just make sure it's the right size for your machine. You'll need the disk, the back, and the clear plastic front. Make sure it is for a button machine and make sure it is for the same size button that your machine produces. Print and cut out the image that you want on your button. Make sure the image you have is the right size for the button casing and then print it out on regular paper. Cut out the images as perfectly as you can. Make sure the machine is in the starting position. Place the back piece in the circular nest, backside facing down and the line of the pin horizontal. The disk should be placed in next, bowl or underside-side down. The image should be facing up and aligned correctly with the pin. Place the plastic on top of the image. Press down on the lever until you hear a click. Switch the machine into the second position. Press down firmly. There may not be a click. Lift the lever again and your button should be complete. There may be a release switch to make it easier to remove the button from the nest.

Write an article based on this "Gather your digital or analog drawing tools. Start with one large circle. Create a smaller circle inside the original, tangent to one side. Draw an identical circle "across from" the smaller inside circle. Apply Descartes's Theorem to find the size of your next circles. Create your next set of circles. Carry on in this fashion to continue adding circles. For a challenge, try making a non-symmetrical Apollonian Gasket by changing the size of your second circle."
|
In the steps below, we'll make our own simple Apollonian Gasket. It's possible to draw Apollonian Gaskets by hand or on the computer. In either case, you'll want to be able to draw perfectly round circles. This is fairly important. Since every circle in an Apollonian Gasket is perfectly tangent to the circles next to it, circles that are even slightly misshapen can "throw off" your final product. If drawing the Gasket on a computer, you'll need a program that allows you to easily draw circles of a fixed radius from a central point. Gfig, a vector-drawing extension for the free image editing program GIMP, can be used, as can a wide variety of other drawing programs (see the materials section for relevant links). You will also probably need a calculator application and either a word processor document or a physical notepad for taking notes on curvatures and radii. For drawing the Gasket by hand, you'll need a calculator (scientific or graphing suggested), a pencil, compass, ruler (preferably a scale with millimeter markings, graph paper, and a notepad for note taking. Your first task is easy - just draw one big, perfectly round circle. The bigger the circle is, the more complex your Gasket can be, so try to make a circle as large as your paper allows or as large as you can easily see in one window on your drawing program. Next, draw another circle inside the first that's smaller than the original, but still fairly large. The exact size of the second circle is up to you - there is no correct size. However, for our purposes, let's draw our second circle so that it reaches exactly halfway across our large outer circle. In other words, let's draw our second circle so that its central point is the midpoint of the large circle's radius. Remember that in Apollonian Gaskets, all circles that touch are tangent to each other. If you're using a compass to draw your circles by hand, recreate this effect by putting the sharp point of the compass at the midpoint of the large outer circle's radius, adjusting your pencil so that it just touches the edge of the large circle, then drawing your smaller inner circle. Next, let's draw another circle across from our first one. This circle should be tangent to both the large outer circle and the smaller inner circle, which means that your two inner circles will touch at the exact midpoint of the large outer circle. Let's stop drawing for a moment. Now that we have three circles in our Gasket, we can use Descartes's Theorem to find the radius of the next circle we'll draw. Remember that Descartes's Theorem is d = a + b + c ± 2 (sqrt (a × b + b × c + c × a )), where a, b, and c are the curvatures of your three tangent circles and d is the curvature of the circle tangent to all three. So, to find the radius of our next circle, let's find the curvature of each of the circles we have so far so that we can find the curvature of the next circle, then convert this to its radius. Let's define the radius of our outer circle as 1. Because the other circles are inside this one, we're dealing with its interior curvature (rather than its exterior curvature), and, consequently, we know its curvature is negative. - 1/r = -1/1 = -1. The big circle's curvature is -1. The smaller circles' radii are half as large as the big circle's, or, in other words, 1/2. Since these circles are touching each other and the large circle with their outside edge, we're dealing with their exterior curvature, so their curvatures are positive. 1/(1/2) = 2. The smaller circles' curvatures are both 2. Now, we know that a = -1, b = 2, and c = 2 for our Descartes's Theorem equation. Let's solve for d: d = a + b + c ± 2 (sqrt (a × b + b × c + c × a )) d = -1 + 2 + 2 ± 2 (sqrt (-1 × 2 + 2 × 2 + 2 × -1 )) d = -1 + 2 + 2 ± 2 (sqrt (-2 + 4 + -2 )) d = -1 + 2 + 2 ± 0 d = -1 + 2 + 2 d = 3. The curvature of our next circle is 3. Since 3 = 1/r, the radius of our next circle is 1/3. Use the radius value you just found to draw your next two circles. Remember that these will be tangent to the circles whose curvatures you used for a, b, and c in Descartes's Theorem. In other words, they will be tangent to both the original and second circles. For these circles to be tangent to all three circles, you'll need to draw them in the open spaces in the top and bottom of the area inside your large original circle. Remember that these circles' radii will be equal to 1/3. Measure 1/3 back from the edge of the outer circle, then draw your new circle. It should be tangent to all three of the surrounding circles. Because they are fractals, Apollonian Gaskets are infinitely complex. This means you can add smaller and smaller circles to your heart's content. You're limited only be the precision of your tools (or, if you're using a computer, the ability of your drawing program to "zoom in"). Each circle, no matter how small, should be tangent to three other circles. To draw each subsequent circle in your Gasket, plug the curvatures of the three circles it will be tangent to into Descartes's Theorem. Then, use your answer (which will be the radius of your new circle) to draw your new circle accurately. Note that the Gasket we've chosen to draw is symmetrical, so the radius of one circle is the same as the corresponding circle "across from it". However, know that not every Apollonian Gasket is symmetrical. Let's tackle one more example. Let's say that, after drawing our last set of circles, we now want to draw the circles that are tangent to our third set, our second set, and our large outer circle. The curvatures of these circles are 3, 2, and -1, respectively. Let's plug these numbers into Descartes's Theorem, setting a = -1, b = 2, and c = 3: d = a + b + c ± 2 (sqrt (a × b + b × c + c × a )) d = -1 + 2 + 3 ± 2 (sqrt (-1 × 2 + 2 × 3 + 3 × -1 )) d = -1 + 2 + 3 ± 2 (sqrt (-2 + 6 + -3)) d = -1 + 2 + 3 ± 2 (sqrt (1)) d = -1 + 2 + 3 ± 2 d = 2, 6. We have two answers! However, because we know that our new circle will be smaller than any of the circles it is tangent to, only a curvature of 6 (and therefore a radius of 1/6) makes sense. Our other answer, 2, actually refers to the hypothetical circle on the other side of the tangent point of our second and third circles. This circle is tangent to both of these circles and to the large outer circle, but it would intersect the circles we've already drawn, so we can disregard it. All Apollonian Gaskets start the same - with a large exterior circle that acts as the edge of the fractal. However, there's no reason that your second circle necessarily has to have 1/2 the radius of the first - we just chose to do this above because it's simple and easy to understand. For fun, try starting a new Gasket with a second circle of a different size - this will lead to exciting new avenues of exploration. After drawing your second circle (regardless of its size), your next act should be to draw one or more circles that are tangent both to it and to the large outer circle - there's no right way to do this, either. After this, you can use Descartes's Theorem to determine the radii of any subsequent circles, as shown above.

By. Scarlett Russell. The Czech Republic has long been regarded as one of the most popular destinations for British men's stag parties: At one point, it was reported that 20 per cent of all weekend crime in Prague was caused by them. Perhaps one reason so many tourists flock to the Czech Republic is because of its relaxed attitude to sex, affairs and alcohol. The country has been deemed the most accepting of moral issues in the world, closely followed - bizarrely - by Japan. Cheers! Prague is one of the world's most popular destinations for stag parties, one pictured here. In a recent survey entitled Global Views of Morality, the Czech Republic was the most accepting of affairs, alcohol and sex. According to The Pew Research Center’s 2013 Global. Attitudes Project, Europe, Japan and countries within South. America are the most tolerant to premarital sex, with the Czech Republic coming out on top. 67 per cent of those questioned in the. survey from the country said they were accepting, compared to 59 per. cent in Greece, 57 per cent in Germany, 42 per cent in Italy and 38. percent in Britain. Britain is amongst one of the most relaxed attitudes in Europe towards sex before marriage, but one of the most disapproving of extramarital affairs. French kiss: France was the second most accepting country when questioned about extramarital affairs in a recent morality survey. French President Francois Hollande, pictured here, famously had an affair. Just four per cent of British respondents deemed them acceptable, along with Australia and Canada. 17 per cent is the figure for the Czech Republic, the highest of all the countries when asked whether affairs were acceptable. It is followed closely by France, where the figure was 12 per cent. Outside of Europe, Venezuela is the most relaxed in terms of premarital sex, with 61 per cent believing it is acceptable. The Pew Research Center’s survey asked 40,117 respondents in 40 countries what they thought about eight topics often discussed as moral issues: extramarital affairs, gambling, homosexuality, abortion, premarital sex, alcohol consumption, divorce, and the use of contraceptives. They were asked to rate each topic as morally acceptable, unacceptable, or not a moral issue. Overall, whilst the Czech Republic is the most morally relaxed, according to the results Japan follows closely behind. 66 per cent of the country are accepting of alcohol use, 55 per cent accepting of divorce, 47 per cent of premarital sex and 44 per cent accepting of abortion, a figure even higher than in the US, where just 17 per cent think abortion is OK. The US are also more morally opposed to homosexuality than Japan. Just 23 per cent of those questioned think being gay is acceptable. In Japan the figure is 38 per cent, Brazil 44 per cent, Spain 55 per cent and Czech Republic comes out on top again, with 56 per cent. Those most unaccepting of homosexuality is Ghana, Pakistan, Egypt, Uganda and Nigeria, where the figure is just one per cent.
Write highlights.

Grandmother Barbara Challons, of Mosborough, South Yorkshire, bought the two two-seater armchairs from Harveys Furniture Store three years ago and says they have always had problems. The company have sent her several spare parts but after repeated complaints they finally called at her home to fix them. A furniture shop refused to repair armchairs owned by Barbara Challons (pictured) - after claiming she had ruined them with sweat caused by her medication. An inspector from Harveys asked her if she was on any medication and she replied 'yes'. The 79-year-old was later stunned to receive a letter saying the medication had caused her to sweat and 'contaminated' the £500 chairs - meaning staff could not repair them. Mrs Challons said: 'I'm upset about it. People will think I'm dirty and I'm not dirty. They will think my house is scruffy. 'What makes me so cross is that they're saying these chairs are greasy. I'm really hurt by what they've made me look. 'If they didn't want to fix the chairs, why couldn't they use a problem with the furniture as an excuse. 'Instead they've made a personal attack on me and my health. People will think "what's wrong with her?"' The note from the company's repair partner, read: 'We have advised the customer that as she takes medication, this has affected the sofa. Barbara Challons bought the two two-seater armchairs from Harveys Furniture Store in Sheffield (pictured) three years ago and says they have always been plagued by problem. 'She does take high blood pressure tablets, this is unrepairable as now contaminated. 'The chairs are nearly three years old, this is from sweat through taking medication. No repair possible.' After receiving the letter Barbara showed it to her doctor who 'laughed at it' and described it as 'nonsense'. Widowed Mrs Challons, a retired auxiliary nurse, had applied for the chairs to be repaired by the shop. But the worker who visited her home asked her whether she was diabetic or on any blood pressure medication, to which she replied 'yes'. She said she later found this was used as a reason not to fix the chairs, which she said had been 'plagued with problems'. Mrs Challons added: 'It's a load of rubbish. To say my taking tablets damaged the chairs is unreal.' Mrs Challons said she had recently ordered two new armchairs, which are currently being handmade. She added: 'As soon as they arrive, I'm throwing these out. I can't wait to see the back of them.' Mrs Challons (pictured) was stunned to receive a letter saying the medication had caused her to sweat and 'contaminated' the £500 chairs - meaning staff couldn't repair them. The report (pictured) from the company's repair partner said there was 'no repair possible' Accompanying the report, Harveys said there was 'no manufacturing defect' and that she would need to pay an upholsterer to assess the chairs to challenge the decision. A spokesman from Harveys said: ‘Our Customer Service team have conducted a detailed review of Ms Challon’s concerns. 'Our technician carried out a thorough testing of the material and determined that, given the staining on the product, repairing it was not an option and also the age of the product, that we would not be prepared to offer any compensation. 'We do, however, appreciate that our technician could have handled the situation more sensitively. 'We have tried to contact Ms Challon to discuss the matter and offer a small goodwill gesture for any distress we may have caused in dealing with her concerns. 'As always, Harveys remains committed to offering the highest level of customer service to its customers and dealing with every issue fairly and transparently.’

Summarize:
Your hermit crab will need lots of places to hide. One of these hiding spots could be a broken ceramic pot, which you could pick up from a garden center or a pet store. You should disinfect it first with a mixture of two parts dechlorinated water and one part hydrogen peroxide. Since hermit crabs are scavengers, they may hide food between little cracks in your decorations. Be aware that this can cause mold. Sweep through the substrate every few days to check for buried food. To allow your hermit crab to move to a new shell, you should add three large shells. Hermit crabs love housing options. Each shell should be a bit larger than the crab’s current shell. Start by opening up a coconut. Put a screwdriver on the indentation of the coconut. Using a hammer, bang the screwdriver into the coconut and pry it open so that you have two halves. Use a spoon to take out the meat, which you can feed to your crabs. Leave it in dechlorinated saltwater for twenty-four hours, and then dry it out in the oven. Place the two halves of the coconut in your tank. For dehydration, you can bake it at 200 Fahrenheit (93 Celsius) for 30 minutes. Pick up some moss from the pet store. Sprinkle it across the substrate. Put a bunch into a plastic shower container to create a little moss pit. If you prefer, you could also add a little bit of substrate to the bottom of the container. Then, fill it up with some moss for a little play area. Don’t use craft moss or any dyed mosses. You can get some shower containers, such as the kind used to store soap in a shower. If the container doesn’t come with suction cups, you can pick some up from the dollar store. Install the shower container on the side of the tank for a higher hiding place.

New York (CNN) -- It's primary day in New York City, where a whole lot of Democrats and not that many Republicans will select their nominees for mayor and a slate of other city offices. Given the city's liberal bent, the primary serves as a de facto general election. Most of Tuesday's Democratic winners will sail to victory in November against token Republican opposition. But New York hasn't elected a Democratic mayor since 1989, when David Dinkins became the city's first African-American mayor. This is shaping up to be the year that streak ends. Mayor Michael Bloomberg has presided over more than a decade of economic expansion in the city, but his tenure has left a sour taste in the mouths of rank-and-file Democrats, who say the mayor cares more about wealthy Manhattan elites than the outer borough middle class.
Roughly 700,000 Democrats are expected to cast ballots in Tuesday's primary, while

Question: Alaska Natives are indigenous peoples of Alaska, United States: Inupiat, Yupik, Aleut, Eyak, Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian, and a number of Northern Athabaskan cultures. They are often defined by their language groups. Many Alaska Natives are enrolled in federally recognized Alaska Native tribal entities, who in turn belong to 13 Alaska Native Regional Corporations, who administer land and financial claims. Ancestors of the Alaska Natives are known to have migrated into the area thousands of years ago, in at least two different waves.
Arriving from Siberia by ship in the mid-eighteenth century, Russians began to trade with Alaska Natives. New settlements around trading posts were started by Russians, including Russian Orthodox missionaries. These were the first to translate Christian scripture into Native languages. British and American traders generally did not reach the area until the nineteenth century, and in some cases missionaries were not active until the twentieth century. In the 21st century, the numerous congregations of Russian Orthodox Christians in Alaska are generally composed mostly of Alaska Natives. Rather than hunting the marine life, the Russians forced the Aleuts to do the work for them. As word spread of the riches in furs to be had, competition among Russian companies increased and they forced the Aleuts into slavery. Catherine the Great, who became Empress in 1763, proclaimed good will toward the Aleut and urged her subjects to treat them fairly. On some islands and parts of the Alaska Peninsula, groups of traders had been capable of relatively peaceful coexistence with the local inhabitants. Other groups could not manage the tensions. Russians took hostages, families were split up, and individuals were forced to leave their villages and settle elsewhere. The growing competition between the trading companies, merging into fewer, larger and more powerful corporations, created conflicts that aggravated the relations with the indigenous populations. Over the years, the situation became catastrophic for the natives. As the animal populations declined, the Aleuts, already too dependent on the new barter economy created by the Russian fur trade, were increasingly coerced into taking greater risks in the dangerous waters of the North Pacific to hunt for more otter. As the Shelikhov-Golikov Company and later Russian-American Company developed as a monopoly, it used skirmishes and systematic violence as a tool of colonial exploitation of the indigenous people. When the Aleut revolted and won some victories, the Russians retaliated, killing many and destroying their boats and hunting gear, leaving them no means of survival. The most devastating effects were from disease: during the first two generations (1741/1759-1781/1799 AD) of Russian contact, 80 percent of the Aleut population died from Eurasian infectious diseases. These were then endemic among the Europeans, but the Aleut had no immunity against the new diseases.

Question: Keane are an English rock band from Battle, East Sussex, formed in 1995. The band currently comprises Tom Chaplin (lead vocals, electric/acoustic guitar), Tim Rice-Oxley (piano, synthesisers, bass guitar, backing vocals), Richard Hughes (drums, percussion, backing vocals), and Jesse Quin (bass guitar, acoustic/electric guitar, backing vocals). Their original line-up included founder and guitarist Dominic Scott, who left in 2001. Keane achieved mainstream, international success with the release of their debut album, Hopes and Fears, in 2004.
In a March 2007 video interview, Chaplin and Hughes spoke of wanting to take a more "organic" approach on album three, but played down suggestions about the use of guitars, referring to them as "a fun part of the live set" at present; however, the cover of "She Sells Sanctuary", became the first song recorded since "The Happy Soldier" (2001) to feature the instrument. Photographic updates to the Keane website also implied the use of guitars in the album's recording sessions. Jesse Quin joined the band since this album as permanent studio and live member. He plays the bass, percussion, guitar, synths and backing vocals. On 25 August 2008, Keane appeared as studio guests on BBC 6 Music with Steve Lamacq where three of the new songs from Perfect Symmetry were played for the first time: "Spiralling", "The Lovers Are Losing", and "Better Than This". The album was released on 13, October 2008, and reached number one on the UK Albums Chart on 19 October. It also reached number 7 on the Billboard 200 chart. In December 2008, it was voted Best Album of the Year by the readers, listeners and visitors of Q Magazine, Q Radio and Qthemusic.com. The song "Perfect Symmetry" was voted best track. In November of the same year, they started their third world tour, the Perfect Symmetry World Tour. On 2 April 2009, Keane became the first band ever to broadcast a live show in 3D. It was filmed at Abbey Road, the site of the world's first satellite broadcast (by The Beatles). Keane fans were prompted to buy 3D glasses along with the new 7" single, "Better Than This", or also to hand-make their own glasses. The show is available to watch on Keane's official site in high definition.

Sun Ra (born Herman Poole Blount, legal name Le Sony'r Ra; May 22, 1914 - May 30, 1993) was an American jazz composer, bandleader, piano and synthesizer player, and poet known for his experimental music, "cosmic" philosophy, prolific output, and theatrical performances. For much of his career, Ra led "The Arkestra", an ensemble with an ever-changing name and flexible line-up. Born and raised in Alabama, Blount eventually became involved in the Chicago jazz scene during the 1940s. He soon abandoned his birth name, taking the name Sun Ra (after Ra, the Egyptian God of the Sun) and developing a complex persona and mythology that would make him a pioneer of Afrofuturism: he claimed he was an alien from Saturn on a mission to preach peace, and throughout his life he consistently denied any ties to his prior identity.
After the move to New York, Sun Ra and company plunged headlong into the experimentalism that they had only hinted at in Chicago. The music was often extremely loud and the Arkestra grew to include multiple drummers and percussionists. In recordings of this era, Ra began to use new technologies--such as extensive use of tape delay--to assemble spatial sound pieces that were far removed from earlier compositions such as Saturn. Recordings and live performances often featured passages for unusual instrumental combinations, and passages of collective playing that incorporated free improvisation. It is often difficult to tell where compositions end and improvisations begin. In this era, Sun Ra began conducting using hand and body gestures. This system inspired cornetist Butch Morris, who later developed his own more highly refined way to conduct improvisers. Though often associated with avant-garde jazz, Sun Ra did not believe his work could be classified as "free music": "I have to make sure that every note, every nuance, is correct... If you want to call it that, spell it p-h-r-e, because ph is a definite article and re is the name of the sun. So I play phre music - music of the sun." Seeking to broaden his compositional possibilities, Sun Ra insisted all band members double on various percussion instruments - predating world music by drawing on various ethnic musical forms - and most saxophonists became multireedists, adding instruments such as flutes, oboes, or clarinets to their arsenals. In this era, Sun Ra was among the first of any musicians to make extensive and pioneering use of synthesizers and other various electronic keyboards; he was given a prototype Minimoog by its inventor, Robert Moog. According to the Bob Moog Foundation: "Sun Ra first met Robert Moog after Downbeat journalist and Sun Ra acquaintance Tam Fiofori arranged for a visit to Moog's factory in Trumansburg in the Fall of 1969....it was during this visit that Moog loaned Sun Ra a prototype Minimoog (Model B), several months before the commercial instrument (Model D) was introduced in March 1970. Ra immediately added the instrument to his repertoire of keyboards, later acquired a second, and featured the Minimoog prominently on many of his recordings of the early 1970s." Notable titles from this period include The Magic City, Cosmic Tones for Mental Therapy, When Sun Comes Out, The Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra, Volume One, Atlantis, Secrets of the Sun and Other Planes of There.Answer this question using a quote from the following article:

Opt for bitter, dark chocolate.
As a rule of thumb: the darker the chocolate, the healthier it is. This is because dark chocolate contains a higher percentage of cocoa, which is where the health benefits of chocolate come from.

Further, a higher percentage of cocoa means less of the unhealthy ingredients that are often included in low-cocoa chocolate bars. Look for a dark chocolate that is at least 70% cocoa.

New York (CNN) -- It's primary day in New York City, where a whole lot of Democrats and not that many Republicans will select their nominees for mayor and a slate of other city offices. Given the city's liberal bent, the primary serves as a de facto general election. Most of Tuesday's Democratic winners will sail to victory in November against token Republican opposition. But New York hasn't elected a Democratic mayor since 1989, when David Dinkins became the city's first African-American mayor. This is shaping up to be the year that streak ends. Mayor Michael Bloomberg has presided over more than a decade of economic expansion in the city, but his tenure has left a sour taste in the mouths of rank-and-file Democrats, who say the mayor cares more about wealthy Manhattan elites than the outer borough middle class.
Roughly 700,000 Democrats are expected to cast ballots in Tuesday's primary, while

Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story is a 2005 direct-to-DVD animated comedy film set in the Family Guy fictional universe. Released on September 27, 2005, the film's main plot point concerns Stewie Griffin trying to find who he thinks is his real father after seeing the man on TV. He travels to San Francisco, only to find that the man is him from the future.
When the Griffins go swimming at the Quahog Community Pool, Peter tries teaching Stewie to swim and attempts to toss him into the pool, despite Stewie begging to be put down. Lois takes Stewie to swimming lessons, where Stewie meets Brad, a child about his age who is the "Star Swimmer." In jealousy, Stewie does everything he can to steal Brad's glory. As a last resort he tries to kill him by rigging a lifeguard chair with dynamite and luring Brad beneath it with marzipan; however, Stewie's detonator malfunctions, blowing up the legs of chair and causing it to fall on Stewie himself. He ends up in hell with Steve Allen. When Stewie is revived by Lois, he believes it is a sign for him to be a good boy. After Peter learns that the new video store will not let him rent pornography, he vents his frustration in front of newscaster Tom Tucker, who gives him a job at Quahog 5 hosting a segment called "What Really Grinds My Gears," in which he rants about things that bother him. Peter becomes extremely popular, overshadowing Tucker, who is fired after attempting to distract Peter during filming. Stewie attempts to be a good boy by smothering Brian with affection. Brian finally goads Stewie into reverting to his old, violent ways by crushing a spider web and eating the spider. Stewie starts drinking heavily, following Brian's way of coping. Brian attempts to cure Stewie of his alcoholism by taking him out for a night of drinking at the Drunken Clam. While drunk, Stewie crashes Brian's car through the wall of the bar. Knowing Stewie is Peter's son, Tom takes advantage of the situation and presents footage of the accident at the news station. Peter is fired and Tom is rehired as the anchor. The next morning, Stewie has a hangover and realizes his lonely existence in the world, wishing that there were someone else to whom he could relate. At the end Stewie says it is good that he stopped drinking now, so that it would not have any repercussions later in life.
What happens next?
When Stewie is revived by Lois, he believes it is a sign for him to be a good boy.
Answer the question at the end by quoting:
Caitlyn Marie Jenner was born William Bruce Jenner on October 28, 1949, in Mount Kisco, New York, to Esther Ruth (nee McGuire) and William Hugh Jenner. Her father was an arborist. She has two sisters, Lisa and Pam. Her younger brother, Burt, was killed in a car accident in Canton, Connecticut on November 30, 1976, shortly after Jenner's success at the Olympic Games.
Jenner was the American champion in the men's decathlon event in 1974, and was featured on the cover of Track & Field News magazine's August 1974 issue. While on tour in 1975, Jenner won the French national championship, and a gold medal at the 1975 Pan American Games, earning the tournament record with 8,045 points. This was followed by new world records of 8,524 points at the U.S.A./U.S.S.R./Poland triangular meet in Eugene, Oregon on August 9-10, 1975, breaking Avilov's record, and 8,538 points at the 1976 Olympic trials, also in Eugene. The record in Eugene was a hybrid score because a timing system failure and wind aided marks. Still, Jenner was proud of "A nice little workout, huh?" "We got what we wanted. We scared the hell out of everybody in the world only a month away from the Games." Of the 13 decathlons Jenner competed in between 1973 and 1976, the only loss was at the 1975 AAU National Championships, when a "no height" in the pole vault marred the score. At the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal, Jenner achieved five personal bests on the first day of the men's decathlon - a "home run" - despite being in second place behind Guido Kratschmer of West Germany. Jenner was confident: "The second day has all my good events. If everything works out all right, we should be ahead after it's all over." Following a rainstorm on the second day, Jenner watched teammate Fred Dixon get injured in the 110 meter hurdles, so took a cautious approach to the hurdles and discus, then had personal bests in the pole vault, when Jenner took the lead, and javelin. By that point, victory was virtually assured, but it remained to be seen by how much Jenner would improve the record. In the final event--the 1500 meters, which was seen live on national television--Jenner looked content to finish the long competition. Jenner sprinted the last lap, making up a 50-meter deficit and nearly catching the event favorite, Soviet Leonid Litvinenko, who was already well out of contention for the gold medal, but whose personal best had been eight seconds better than Jenner's personal best before the race. Jenner set a new personal best time and won the gold medal with a world-record score of 8,618 points. Olympic world record performance:

A nicely done and excellent underrated animated fantasy epic that combines live actors with animation traced over them ( rotoscoping), it's Ralph Bakshi's second best movie only with "American Pop" being number one and "Heavy Traffic" being third and "Wizards" being fourth. It's certainly better than his "Cool World" or "Lord of the Rings", the artwork is designed by famed artist Frank Farzetta and the animation has good coloring and there's also a hottie for the guys.
I highly recommend this movie to fantasy and animation lovers everywhere especially the new 2-Disc Limited Edition DVD from Blue Underground.

An example of a movie review. negative (OPTIONS:
- negative
- positive).
A: It's been close to ten years since I've seen either of the last two sequels to "Phantasm" - surely due to my still vivid remembrance of them not being very good. That being acknowledged to this day, I'm still a huge fan of the first two installments so I thought I'd go back and re-experience the 'final chapters'. Part three is definitely the worst of the series since it obviously takes itself less seriously and throws in a bunch of confusing stuff that doesn't make much sense... Again, kicking off right where the previous movie left us, Reggie saves Mike from the Tall Man who vows to come back for him later, but things aren't safe for long when they come across Jody who is inexplicably able to the take the form of a sphere. Apparently his soul is held prisoner by the Tall Man so Mike is then dragged into the sinister double-pronged Netherworld and Reg has to find him... Along the way, he meets up with a ten year-old kid and a nun-chuck wielding black chick named Rocky who assist him throughout his journey.
There's really nothing memorable about "Phantasm III" other than how stupid and forcefully "humorous" it tries to be. Only one positive aspect that didn't even help the movie and that was the return of A. Michael Baldwin and Bill Thornbury who reprise their roles for the first time since the original 1978 classic. The problem is, they pretty much make cameo appearances... Reggie Banister is of course back in his starring role, but his bumbling, love-sick attitude makes his presence far too annoying to like. Angus Scrimm also just didn't seem entirely "into" his role. He talks too much here and is nowhere near as menacing and creepy in contrast with the "quirkiness" that the movie seemed to carelessly resort to. Most people's opinion on this flick seem pretty impassive and tend to think "it's still entertaining". Maybe I'm just too much of a nit picker but I just couldn't get into this one. I remember disliking it when I was a kid and after re-watching it - I can safely say - nothing has changed. Don Coscarelli rocked the scene with his original low-budget, nightmarish, legendary film "Phantasm", which I still rank as my top favorite horror flick and his respectable sequel kept things moving and darkly surreal and GORY, but "Lord of the Dead" (stupid title) just looked too rushed and slapped together to me... The inclusion of the two new characters, Tim and Rocky (the only thing missing was Scrappy Doo!!), was a strong indication of Coscarelli running out of ideas and seeing how far he could ride the franchise...
So, it's a "Phantasm" movie with very little gore, nudity, and quadruple-barrel shot guns. Need I say more?
Q: What's an example of a movie review?
An example of a movie review is here: I don't think most of us would tend to apply the term "must-see" to action films, but I was very impressed at how good this film was and it deservedly gets the "must-see" stamp from me.
Mandy played by Shannon Lee (daughter of the late and great Bruce Lee and sister of the late Brandon Lee) is recruited by Martin, a professional thief to help pull off a diamond heist at a museum for a criminal syndicate, and get rewarded handsomely for it. Little do they know that another pair of thieves (Lucy and Tommy, a pair of lovebirds), who were spurned earlier by Mandy and Martin to get in on the deal, are also planning to steal the diamond.
How each pair of thieves plans out the heist is a thrill to watch. Things go awry, as Martin and Mandy unknowingly find themselves a step behind Lucy and Tommy.
You'll find yourself rooting for these thieves as they find that they need each other to stay alive from the crime syndicate, who are not happy at all that the diamond is not in its hands.
Action fans will not be disappointed, as there's a healthy dose of gun battles, martial arts, and hand-to-hand combat sequences.
What is surprising is that, it's not just the action that carries this film, but the romance and laughs (and I don't mean your typical one-liners prevalent in action films) that sneak in.
It's not easy to root for bad guys, but we get to see the human side of these thieves and the chemistry they develop.
A great film and one NOT to miss!

I can still remember first seeing this on TV. I couldn't believe TVNZ let it on! I had to own it! A lot of the humor will be lost on non-NZ'ers, but give it a go!
Since finishing the Back of the Y series Matt and Chris have gone on to bigger and better(?) things. NZ's greatest dare-devil stuntman, Randy Campbell has often appeared on the British TV series Balls of Steel. Yes, he still f^@ks up all his stunts because he is too drunk.
Also the 'house band' Deja Voodoo have since released 2 albums, Brown Sabbath and Back in Brown. The band consists of members of the Back of the Y team and singles such as 'I Would Give You One of My Beers (But I've Only Got 6)' and 'You Weren't Even Born in The 80's' continue their humor.
The South-By-Southwest film festival also featured their feature length film 'The Devil Made Me Do It' which will be released early 2008 in NZ.

Q: Iran's invitation to Syria talks marks significant shift for US and allies
Inviting Iran to take part in talks over Syria’s future is a highly significant shift for the US and its western and Arab allies, and one that will gladden the heart of President Bashar al-Assad. It will be seen as another sign, following Russia’s military intervention, that things are going his way.
Assuming Tehran accepts the invitation, and it’s hard to see why it would not, it will have a formal role to play in helping decide the outcome of the bloodiest crisis of the Arab spring for the first time in more than four years. As Assad’s staunchest regional ally, it is also reasonable to assume it will be broadly sympathetic to his position.
It certainly has been so far. Unlike the countries that support the anti-Assad rebel groups, Iran has taken an unwaveringly strategic view of the crisis, consistently backing Damascus while pursuing its own interests. It has provided billions of dollars in cash and loans, as well as advice and expertise.

Its military role in Syria has been shadowy but vital, deploying Revolutionary Guards as advisers and overseeing offensives by its Lebanese ally Hezbollah and Shia fighters from as far afield as Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. It has raised its profile slightly in recent weeks as the forces it commands have taken part in Assad’s offensive against Aleppo. It has also suffered casualties that are starting to be noticed at home.
Iran’s formal position is that it backs a political solution to the crisis, but unlike Russia it has never signed up to the idea that it could end with a “Syrian-led political transition” that would almost certainly exclude Assad. That ambiguously-formulated idea lies at the heart of the Geneva conference communique of June 2012 - the basis for all international efforts to find a way out of the impasse.
“In any political process the role played by Bashar al-Assad will be important,” Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Hossein Amir Abdollahian, told the Guardian in an interview last week.
“We are not working for Assad to stay in power forever as president, but we are very cognisant of his role in the fight against terrorism and the national unity of that country. The people of Syria will make the final decision and whatever decision they take, we will endorse.”

The invitation to Tehran will dismay Saudi Arabia and other countries that fear – but also exaggerate – its growing influence in Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon and Bahrain, as well as Syria. Riyadh firmly blocked previous UN-led efforts to bring Iran into talks. The fact that King Salman has apparently given way reflects US determination, Saudi weakness and international desperation about Syria.
Riyadh, its Gulf allies and Israel have always feared that July’s landmark nuclear deal with Iran, ending years of sanctions and international isolation, would give it free rein to expand its activities elsewhere. Its possible role in deciding Syria’s future will alarm them no less than what they perceived as conventional threats to their security.
Syrian opposition groups, which regularly condemn the “Iranian occupation” of their country, will also be furious at the news, not least because Sunni militants will interpret it in the sectarian terms that have helped to make the crisis so intractable. Beyond verbal protests, however, there is little they can do about it.
Iran has repeatedly signalled in recent months that it deserves a seat at more tables than it is currently invited to, and that it wants to play its part, on its own terms, in resolving the multiple crises of its own tough neighbourhood, including fighting terrorism. It now seems to be making significant headway.

Write an article with the title: "The New York Times"

As I said in today’s column, nobody who thought Trump would be a disaster should change his or her mind because he won the election. He will, in fact, be a disaster on every front. And I think he will eventually drag the Republican Party into the abyss along with his own reputation; the question is whether he drags the rest of the country, and the world, down with him.
But it’s important not to expect this to happen right away. There’s a temptation to predict immediate economic or foreign-policy collapse; I gave in to that temptation Tuesday night, but quickly realized that I was making the same mistake as the opponents of Brexit (which I got right). So I am retracting that call, right now. It’s at least possible that bigger budget deficits will, if anything, strengthen the economy briefly. More detail in Monday’s column, I suspect.
On other fronts, too, don’t expect immediate vindication. America has a vast stock of reputational capital, built up over generations; even Trump will take some time to squander it.
The true awfulness of Trump will become apparent over time. Bad things will happen, and he will be clueless about how to respond; if you want a parallel, think about how Katrina revealed the hollowness of the Bush administration, and multiply by a hundred. And his promises to bring back the good old days will eventually be revealed as the lies they are.
But it probably won’t happen in a year. So the effort to reclaim American decency is going to have to have staying power; we need to build the case, organize, create the framework. And, of course, never forget who is right.
It’s going to be a long time in the wilderness, and it’s going to be awful. If I sound calm and philosophical, I’m not — like everyone who cares, I’m frazzled, sleepless, depressed. But we need to be stalwart.

He told the BBC they had clearly been in the trucks for a long time, and many were dehydrated and very tired.
He suggested ministers were taking the wrong approach to people trafficking.
Four Polish lorry drivers were arrested on suspicion of facilitating illegal immigration and are being questioned at separate police stations.
The Border Force found the suspected illegal immigrants inside four separate lorries at Harwich International Port.
There were 35 people from Afghanistan, 22 from China, 10 from Vietnam and one from Russia.

(Numbers of people trying to enter the UK illegally detected by the Border Force, other agencies in France and Belgium, and at UK ports)
Source: Home Office
Mr Jenkin said the individuals were being questioned on Friday night about who they had paid, how much they had paid and where they had got on the lorries - but none spoke English making communication difficult.
The Red Cross, social services and ambulance services were all at the scene, while some of the most sick were treated at Colchester Hospital.
It is believed those not seeking asylum will be sent back to their home country.
Stena Line, operator of the Stena Hollandica ferry that transported the lorries, said the service had left the Hook of Holland on Thursday afternoon and had arrived at the Essex port at 19:45 BST that same day.
It is not clear where the lorries had been before sailing to Harwich.
Mr Jenkin said the operation had been intelligence-led, and "this is why we're allowed to feel delighted and proud of our border force" who had worked closely with the Dutch.
The UK has an agreement known as "juxtaposed controls" meaning people travelling on certain routes between the UK, France and Belgium go through immigration checks before boarding a train or ferry rather than on arrival.
No such agreement exists with the Dutch.
Some 41,000 illegal immigrants were picked up at UK borders in the year to April, and almost all were stopped in France and Belgium before reaching the UK.
Asked if it was time for an agreement with the Dutch, Mr Jenkin said he was advised that the UK had a "very good arrangement" with the Dutch.
However, he said that only about 6% of lorries - or 250,000 - were stopped each year at Harwich port, and there was an argument for many more to be stopped and searched.
Former chief inspector of borders John Vine, however, warned that any more checks could lead to clogged-up ports.
He told the BBC that good intelligence and experienced staff were critical, but a lot of experienced staff were leaving and not being replaced.
This week, the chancellor announced the Home Office, which is responsible for the Border Force, was facing budget cuts of £30m.
Mr Jenkin, a former shadow defence secretary, said it was "bizarre" that one of the "frontlines" was not protected in the government's spending review, "and yet we're, dare I say, increasing our contributions to the European Union to spend on what they want".
"I don't think the government's got the priorities right here," he added.
The tragic deaths, 15 years ago this month, of 58 Chinese people in a lorry which had been searched at Dover was the first, and clearest, indication of an emerging problem: people smuggling.
Migrants seeking a better life pay criminals to help them reach their destination.
But the routes, typically through northern Africa and southern Europe, or via Turkey and eastern Europe, are hazardous.
In the year to April, almost 41,000 so-called "clandestine" migrants were detected - the vast majority picked up by British staff at joint border controls in northern France and Belgium.
But there's anecdotal evidence that because security is so stringent there, migrants are finding other ways to enter the UK: nearly 1,500 were discovered at ports in Britain - including Harwich.
However, we may never know how many have got in without the authorities finding out.

Brassed Off, which starred the late British acting legend Pete Postlethwaite, featured the fictional town of Grimley and was partly based on the closure of Grimethorpe's pit in 1993.
It used music from the village's band.
Stephen Tompkinson, who starred as Phil in the film, said: I'm incredibly proud the film has lasted and lasted it means so much to people.
"It really strikes a deep note in them, when it would have been far easier just to pack up and stop entirely this band kept playing on.
"They're still there loud and proud today."
Roy Bowater, a tuba player, said: "I think the sound of Grimethorpe is unique, it grabs you by the throat it is just something that gets you from within."
The band was founded in 1917 by workers from the local coal mine.
It survived the closure of the pit in 1993 and relied on sponsorship money from a coal mining company, until 2011. Despite occasional concerns for its future it still continues to make music.
Grimethorpe is about 7 miles (11km) from Barnsley.

News article: Not so perfect: Does Ramirez hurt Dodgers more than he helps?
Hanley Ramirez’s defense at shortstop only cost the Dodgers a perfect game Wednesday night. What might it cost the team in September and potentially October? What might it cost Ramirez in free agency after that?
Many expected the Dodgers to sign Ramirez to an extension by now. It hasn’t happened, in part because the Dodgers want to see him stay healthy, in part because they might not be sure what the heck to do with him long term.
Third base could be a possibility, but the Dodgers would need to trade Juan Uribe, a popular clubhouse figure who is under contract for $6.5 million next season. Some Dodgers officials have toyed with the idea of playing Ramirez in left field, but you may have noticed that the team has too many outfielders already.
Maybe the Dodgers could win the 2014 World Series with Ramirez at short — heck, the Red Sox pulled off such a feat with Julio Lugo in ‘07. Advanced metrics, however, portray Ramirez as one of the worst defensive shortstops in baseball. And strong up-the-middle defense should be a requirement for a team built around starting pitching, no?
Erisbel Arruebarrena, a Cuban defector in the first year of a five-year, $25 million contract, was a major defensive upgrade in his brief stint with the club. But the Dodgers have said that they do not want to shift Ramirez between short and third, perhaps out of respect for Ramirez’s wishes. Besides, Uribe could return from his strained right hamstring on Monday.
For this season, it appears, the Dodgers have little choice but to play Ramirez at short; they probably value his offense too much to trade him. But if Ramirez hits free agency, his market could turn problematic at a time when teams continue to place increased emphasis on defense. Indeed, what would it say about Ramirez if the Dodgers only were willing to make him a qualifying offer?
Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. Ramirez and many of his teammates are on the uptick offensively. The Dodgers, winners of eight of their last 11, are only four games behind the Giants in the NL West. A big run to the postseason, a World Series title, and Ramirez’s attributes again might outweigh his deficiencies.
Still, his poor throw that cost Clayton Kershaw a perfect game came on a play, as Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully noted, that most shortstops make. Ramirez didn’t make it. He is costing his team. He is costing himself.
Beyond Ramirez, questions persist about the Dodgers, just as they do for every club.
One rival executive said Thursday that the Dodgers’ best outfield would be Matt Kemp in left, Joc Pederson in center and Yasiel Puig in right. The exec added that the Dodgers should trade one of their left-handed hitting outfielders, Andre Ethier or Carl Crawford, and keep the other in reserve.
Pederson, while batting .320 with a 1.016 OPS in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, continues to strike out a ton, including 13 times in his last 28 at-bats. Crawford remains on the DL with a sprained left ankle. Ethier has only three homers and a .691 OPS. And let’s not even talk about their respective contracts.
Kemp finally is getting hot, his disposition improving with his swing. Many in the industry, however, believe he ultimately will be moved — most likely in the offseason — due to his tempestuous relationship with some of his superiors.
*By clicking "SUBSCRIBE", you have read and agreed to the Fox Sports Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
The Dodgers trail only the Cardinals and Athletics in rotation ERA. Kershaw, Zack Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu are perhaps the best 1-2-3 in the game. But does anyone seriously expect Josh Beckett and Dan Haren to hold up the entire season?
The loss of Chad Billingsley, who will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a partially torn flexor tendon in his right elbow, hurt the Dodgers’ depth. The team lacks a prospect as polished as Marlins left-hander Andrew Heaney, who made his major-league debut Thursday night. The situation, in the words, of one club official, is “precarious.”
So, expect the Dodgers to be in the market for a starter.
THE ORGANIZATION AS A WHOLE
The Dodgers have yet to slow down their spending, so it’s natural for them to be linked to a pitcher such as the Rays’ David Price, who could give them a third pitcher earning $20 million next season.
The team, however, likely would need to part with two or more of its top prospects to get Price, and its farm system isn’t terribly deep to begin with (Price’s teammate, super-utility man Ben Zobrist, is another potential LA target).
Club officials keep talking about developing youngsters such as Pederson and shortstop Corey Seager so they don’t need to maintain a $230 million payroll. They’ve made progress not only in signing players from Cuba, but also Mexico, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic. Still, are they truly intent on developing a player-development machine?
The July 31 non-waiver deadline could prove the next test.
Much has been made of Price’s loss of fastball velocity, from an average of 95.3 mph in 2012 to 93.5 in ’13 to 92.6 this season. But can anyone seriously argue that his stuff is significantly diminished?
As pointed out by Rays Index earlier this week, Price is on pace for 280 strikeouts this season, which would be the most since Randy Johnson in 2004. Price’s 12.1 strikeout-to-walk ratio, meanwhile, would break the record set by Brett Saberhagen in 1994 (11.0).
Based upon those numbers, it’s impossible to say that Price is losing it, even though his 3.93 ERA is — for him — unusually high. Poor luck, however, may help explain that number.
Price’s home run rate and opponents’ batting average on balls in play are well above league averages, and probably will revert to his career norms as the season progresses.
Meanwhile, Price’s FIP (fielding independent pitching) is within the same range it has been for the past two seasons. That statistic is considered an indicator of future performance, signaling that Price’s ERA likely will drop.
The biggest issue for teams that want to acquire Price, as FanGraphs’ Dave Cameron wrote Wednesday, is not his pitching. No, it’s his expected $18 million to $20 million salary in his final year of arbitration in 2015.
Few clubs will want to part with high-end prospects while absorbing such a payroll hit. Then again, the numbers are relative. Price’s salary next season will not be terribly above the qualifying offer for free agents, which is expected to be $15 million to $16 million.
The Phillies, despite their recent surge, surely recognize that they need to get younger. But even if the team has the will to be active sellers, it might not have a way.
Second baseman Chase Utley, after telling club officials last July that he did not want to be traded, signed a two-year extension with three club options. Now, less than a year later, he’s going to reverse a course, waive his 10-and-5 rights and approve a deal?
Shortstop Jimmy Rollins, another 10-and-5 player, left open the possibility that he would approve a trade after breaking the team’s all-time hit record last weekend. But realistically, where is Rollins going?
The shortstop’s wife is from Philadelphia. They are the parents of two young children. And good luck finding the right fit.
Rollins’ $11 million option for 2015 is almost certain to vest; he would not be just a rental. No, he would need to be comfortable spending the rest of this season in his new city, and all of next season as well.
Neither team in Rollins’ native Bay Area needs a shortstop. And while Rollins might crave the spotlight in either New York or LA, he wouldn’t go to the Mets, the Yankees aren’t going to displace Derek Jeter and neither the Angels nor Dodgers figures to pursue a shortstop.
Then there is left-hander Cliff Lee, who — if all goes well — will return from his strained elbow before the All-Star break. By July 31, Lee still will have more than $45 million left on his contract, including a $12.5 million buyout for 2016.
The financial obligation number actually might be higher than that for many; Lee can block trades to 20 teams, and could require his $27.5 million vesting option for ’16 to be guaranteed to join a club such as the Dodgers.
Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. has said he would include cash in certain deals. The Phillies always could trade Lee during the August waiver period. But unless the team paid the majority of his contract, it could not expect a bounty in return.
Closer Jonathan Papelbon could get moved if the Phillies pay down his $13 million salary; he, too, has a vesting option for ’16, and can only be traded to 12 teams without his approval.
Unless the Phils get truly creative, they will find it difficult to make impact moves.
I normally do not favor starting pitchers for MVP unless the field lacks strong position-player candidates; I voted for then-Red Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury in 2011 over the eventual winner, Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander.
An interesting MVP case, however, can be made for Yankees right-hander Masahiro Tanaka, at least to this point of the season.
The Yankees are 12-2 when Tanaka starts, 25-31 when he does not. Even more striking, their run differential in Tanaka’s starts is plus-33, while in all other games it’s minus-54.
In other words, the Yankees are worse than the Rays (minus-48) when Tanaka isn’t pitching and nearly as bad as the Padres (minus-62) and Diamondbacks (minus-64).
Of course, Wins Above Replacement (WAR) tells a different story. Tanaka is third among pitchers at 2.9 in the FanGraphs version of the metric, and well behind Mike Trout, the leader among position players at 4.7.
Outfielder J.D. Martinez is one of the Tigers’ few recent bright spots; he has three homers during his nine-game hitting streak, and is now batting .300 with a .903 OPS in 108 plate appearances on the season.
Martinez, 26, spent the offseason watching video of Miguel Cabrera, Ryan Braun and other accomplished hitters, then completely overhauled his swing and approach. The Astros released him in spring training, and he signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers two days later.
“If you watch video of me in the past, it’s the complete opposite — it’s that extreme,” he said. “It’s kind of like I re-invented myself.”
Martinez worked with his personal hitting coach for three weeks, then implemented his new ideas in Venezuela. Mostly, he’s trying to line up directly to the ball and keep the barrel of his bat in the zone longer — the way Cabrera does.

Problem: Documentary examines the inception of PC viruses 25 years ago
It was in 1986 that brothers Basit and Amjad Farooq circulated a floppy disk carrying Brain -- the first PC virus in history.
F-Secure researcher Mikko Hypponen was one of the early handful of self-styled virus hunters. When Hypponen reverse engineered Brain, he found buried in the code a block of text with the Farooq brothers' names, phone number and address, near Lahore Railway Station, Lahore, Pakistan.
Hypponen recently traveled to Pakistan and found the Farooq brothers 25 years later working at the same address. Here is an exclusive USA TODAY release of a video documentary, produced by F-Secure, revealing what Hypponen learned on his visit:

Problem: Paris attacks vigil a scene of panic as tension grips city
Outbursts of panic gripped several Paris neighbourhoods Sunday where vigils were being held in the wake of this weekend's suicide attacks, but they were false alarms, French law enforcement officials said.
A crowd at Place de la République apparently panicked after hearing firecrackers, one of the officials said. Someone reached out to police in the plaza out of fear, and when officers arrived with weapons drawn, the spooked crowd scurried, a security official said.
CBC's Thomas Daigle, reporting from the French capital, said calm was soon restored.
Vigils and church services were being held for victims of Friday night's attacks, which left 129 dead and more than 300 wounded following in a series of co-ordinated assaults on restaurants, a concert venue and a soccer stadium.

Close to Place de la République, panic broke out near a small Cambodian restaurant and a bar that were the scenes of shooting on Friday night. Police were seen running with guns drawn, but a security official said there were no confirmed threats to the area.
The security officials weren't authorized to be publicly named, in accordance with government policy.
Earlier, French authorities said they have formally identified one of the suicide attackers who tried to storm the Stade de France, the country's national stadium, as well as another man who attacked a restaurant in central Paris.
One of the men was 20 and the other was 31. Both were French nationals living in Belgium.
A third man, who died in the assault on the Bataclan concert hall, was identified earlier as 29-year-old Ismael Mostefai, a Frenchman with known ties to Islamic radicalism.
The 29-year old, from Courcouronnes, south of Paris, was identified from a severed finger found at the concert hall. Mostefai was one of the attackers who detonated suicide belts there.
Initially silent after the ordeal, survivors who endured two hours of being held hostage at the concert hall — where 89 of the victims were slain — have started sharing their memories.

A French survivor of the rampage said Sunday that he was struck by how young the gunmen were.
Julien Pearce, a journalist at Europe 1 radio, was at the Bataclan on Friday night to attend the concert by the U.S. rock band Eagles of Death Metal. He said when the three attackers stormed in, "it took me few seconds to realize it was gunshots."
Pearce and his friends immediately got down on the ground to avoid the random shots, then ran and crawled into a tiny dark room next to the stage. "There was no exit, so we were just in another trap, less exposed, but still a trap," he said.
Pearce said he could discreetly look out and see one of the assailants. "He seemed very young," he said. "That's what struck me — his childish face, very determined, cold, calm, frightening."
Once the attackers reloaded, Pearce said, his group ran across the stage to an emergency exit, helping a wounded woman out. Looking back, he saw "dozens and dozens of entangled, bullet-riddled bodies in a pool of blood."

Minutes before and eight blocks away, gunmen began firing into the Petit Cambodge restaurant, where a 24-year-old man from Britain said he remembers shards of glass flying past his head.
The man told The Independent on Sunday he and others dropped to the floor. He ended up lying next to a woman who had been shot in the chest.
More than 100 bullet cartridges were found throughout the restaurant.
Around the corner, British-Danish psychotherapist Mark Colclough told reporters he was with a colleague on de la Fontaine-au-Roi Street when he saw a gunman dressed all in black fire at the Bonne Bière café before targeting a pizzeria called Casa Nostra across the street.
He described the gunman swivelling left and right as he opened fire first on the window of a car and then patrons of the two establishments.
A Belgian official said Sunday that seven people have been detained in Belgium as part of the investigation into the massacre.
The official told The Associated Press that two of the seven attackers were French men living in Brussels.
As the investigation continued, an unidentified French police official was quoted as saying three Kalashnikov assault rifles were found inside a car used in the attacks.
There was a heavy police presence at Notre Dame Cathedral, where a mass was to be held for victims.
Two cars are known to have been used in the attacks: a Volkswagen Polo parked at the Bataclan concert hall and a Seat, a Spanish-made vehicle, where the arms were found. The Seat appeared to be have been involved in the carnage at Paris bars and restaurants, and was found in the eastern Paris suburb of Montreuil on Sunday.
In addition, French police have issued a photo and wanted notice in their search for a suspect at large.
The notice, released Sunday evening, is for Salah Abdeslam, a 26-year-old man born in Brussels. It warns people who see him that he is dangerous, saying "do not intervene yourself."
About 3,000 French troops were in the streets of Paris on Sunday, in part to try to make the city's residents feel safe. Museums and theatres remained closed for a second day.
Notre Dame Cathedral was closed to tourists, but open to church-goers wishing to attend services. The famous cathedral held an evening mass for attack victims.
"Off to the side, dozens of police stand at the ready in bulletproof vests," CBC's Nahlah Ayed reported.
A police official said the heavy security was because the tourist attraction is a "sensitive site."
Everyone using the church's six entrances had to go through a security check.
The bells of the 670-year-old church rang out 15 minutes before the service in a special homage to the victims.
Streets, parks and stores were unusually empty for such a mild, clear day, and several city monuments were closed because of security reasons or to express their grief.
Some Parisians and tourists defied the high security, walking past heavily armed soldiers in body armour to take pictures beneath the Eiffel Tower.
Write a one or two sentence summary.
Summary:
|
Tense moment in Paris scares mourners at a vigil, but appears to be false alarm. CBC News reports from the streets as the city mourns. Meanwhile, survivors begin to recall how determined the gunmen were to massacre dozens of people.

Article: The Sun's critic went on to predict the "lavish" adaptation of the 1992 cartoon "will be a huge hit with families".
The Guardian's reviewer also admitted being "won over" by the London show's "blend of spectacle [and] illusion".
Yet according to the Telegraph, "little registers emotionally" in a musical that "barely rises above the generic".
First staged in Seattle in 2011, Aladdin opened on Broadway in 2014 and has since been seen by more than 1.5 million people.
Its West End production follows other screen-to-stage transfers including Beauty and the Beast, Mary Poppins and The Lion King, which is now in its 17th year in London.
Like the film, the musical tells of a wily street thief who finds a magical lamp containing a genie who promises to grant him three wishes.
Voiced in the film by Robin Williams, the Genie is played in London by Trevor Dion Nicholas, originally an understudy in the Broadway production.
According to the Mail's Quentin Letts, the US actor "certainly gives it full welly" and "is the best thing in the evening".
The Times's Ann Treneman agreed, describing him as "a genius genie" and his "big number", Friend Like Me, "a show-stopper".
Listen to Aladdin composer Alan Menken perform a medley of songs from the musical on BBC Radio 3's In Tune.
Aladdin himself is played by former Britain's Got Talent performer Dean John-Wilson, while ex-Sugababes member Jade Ewen plays female lead Princess Jasmine.
John-Wilson was supported on Wednesday's opening night by his girlfriend Cynthia Erivo, who won a Tony award on Sunday for her performance in The Color Purple.
"My other half was on stage playing Aladdin and I can't be any prouder," the 29-year-old Londoner told reporters after the show.
"I'm astounded by how wonderful he is - he was awesome."
Other attendees at the Prince Edward Theatre included Star Wars actor Mark Hamill, comedian and actor Rufus Hound, Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson and The Hobbit star Luke Evans.
Sherlock actor Andrew Scott, McFly's Tom Fletcher and panto regular Christopher Biggins were also among the celebrity-filled audience.
Analysis - Tim Masters, entertainment and arts correspondent
Aladdin has reinvented many of its jokes to make it more relevant to a British audience.
While its cast use mainly American accents, the script contains references to Sir Bruce Forsyth, Tommy Cooper and Strictly Come Dancing.
"There were a lot of American references that people wouldn't get here," director Casey Nicholaw told the BBC after Wednesday's gala premiere.
"We got people here to read the script and say what they didn't think would work and suggest what we should try instead. We just kept playing with it."
"This version of Aladdin is something you can't see anywhere else on the planet," said Trevor Dion Nicholas, whose Genie produces a Union Jack umbrella during his opening monologue.
The American star, who also played Genie on Broadway, said Aladdin was his favourite Disney film growing up.
"I had the cassette tape and the VHS and I used to read the lyrics and learn all the songs when I was a kid."
Aladdin's producers have revealed the lavish show features 108 costume changes that each take place in under a minute.
According to Nicholaw, though, that does not rule out the occasional wardrobe malfunction.
"There might have been a girl with her costume round her ankles when she exited the stage after the Prince Ali song," he revealed.
Nicholaw is excited about being back in the UK later in the year to direct Dreamgirls, a musical inspired by the rise of 1960s R&B acts such as The Supremes.
"London feels like a second home to me," said the director, whose other credits include West End hit The Book of Mormon.
++++++++++
Summarize: The West End launch of Disney musical Aladdin has been broadly welcomed by critics, with a number suggesting it shows "panto has come early this year".
Article: They have also backed a move to consult on a proposed tax on sugary drinks.
The measures were proposed by Sinn Féin as part of amendments to the Health Bill which is making its way through the assembly.
Health Minister Simon Hamilton said any smoking law change would be unlikely to come into force before early next year.
He opposed the sugar tax, saying "any such tax would displace the problem rather than solve it".
The minister added that Stormont "may not have the powers to implement such a levy in Northern Ireland" but said he was seeking further advice on the issue.
Despite his remarks, the amendments both passed by oral votes in the chamber on Monday evening.
Sinn Féin's Rosie McCorley, who proposed the tax, said it would "benefit all members of society, young people in particular".
"Sinn Féin believe that a sensible way of reducing the consumption of sugary sweetened drinks is to raise the price, which is a tried and tested method, as seen with taxes on cigarettes and alcohol," she said.
She added that revenue raised by by the tax could be reinvested in other initiatives to improve health.
A ban on smoking in vehicles carrying children has been in force in England and Wales since October.
In the Republic of Ireland, a ban took effect on New Year's Day.
The Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) also supports a ban in Northern Ireland and its health spokesperson Fearghal McKinney proposed a similar amendment to that from Sinn Féin.
However, his amendment, which went further and asked for provision on public awareness campaigns, did not pass.
++++++++++
Summarize: Northern Ireland Assembly members have voted in favour of introducing a ban on smoking in vehicles when children are present.
Article: Spurs were Women's Premier League Southern Division champions this term, while Rovers won the Northern Division.
Bianca Baptiste's brace either side of the break and Wendy Martin's late lob gave Spurs victory and the WPL title.
With just one promotion spot available, Tottenham will now join the WSL subject to meeting certain licence criteria.
But BBC Sport understands meeting those criteria will be a formality for Spurs, a club who have bolstered significantly behind the scenes this season, adding a strength and conditioning coach and additional resources off the field.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Then, as a WSL 2 club, Spurs could - in theory - join other WSL 2 outfits in applying to join WSL 1, if they were to submit an application before 30 May, after the FA invited second-tier sides to bid to replace defunct club Notts County in the top tier.
For the first winter season of the WSL - starting in September - there will be 10 teams in WSL 1 and 10 in WSL 2.
Meanwhile, Gemma Donnelly's Blackburn - who impressively went their entire regular league season unbeaten - are set for a further year in the third tier.

Tottenham are set to join the Women's Super League for the first time in 2017-18 after a 3-0 win over Blackburn in a third-tier play-off at The Valley.

Question: A dispute over the fate of a missing pig has landed one Missouri man in jail and another in the hospital with 23 stab wounds. Joshua Finke, 22, of St. Charles, was charged Tuesday with felony assault for allegedly attacking a 38-year-old neighbor with a screwdriver. The Lincoln County Sheriff's Department says Finke was accused by three roommates Monday night of stealing a 200-pound pig, and what started as a verbal spat between the men quickly turned physical. Skirmish sparked by a swine: Joshua Finke, 22, of St. Charles, was charged Tuesday with felony assault for allegedly attacking his 38-year-old roommate during an argument over the victim's missing pig. Court documents obtained by Stltoday.com indicate that the victim and his two roommates had been fattening up the pig for seven months for slaughter in their backyard east of Highway 79 in Winfield. Two weeks ago, the animal vanished from its pen and the pig's owners have come to suspect Finke of being the thief. When the roommates confronted Finke about the missing animal at around 10.30pm Monday, the 22-year-old allegedly lunged at the 38-year-old man, plunging a sharp object believed to be a screwdriver into his back 22 times and stabbing him once in the head. Pignapped: Finke was accused by three men of stealing a 200-pound pig (not pictured) that had been raised by one of them for meat. The unnamed victim was rushed to a local hospital for treatment and was released Tuesday morning. Finke is being held on $100,000 cash bond. The pig that sparked the bloody attack remains at large.

Question: It is one of the key bonding experiences for a mother and child: breastfeeding. So lesbian partners Heidi and Maryellen Olson wanted to share that with their first-born Sequoia. They both nurse their one-month-old daughter. Phenomenon: Maryellen Olson, 25, nurses her daughter Sequoia despite not giving birth. Both breastfeeding: Her wife Heidi, 26, naturally lactates meaning they can both nurse their first-born. Dubbed 'co-nursing', the little-known practice requires Maryellen, who didn't give birth, to induce lactation and take a natural drug to boost breastmilk. According to the new parents, it has changed everything. 'It is so worth it for the closeness I feel with Sequoia, and also for the sanity-saving it provides both of us,' graduate student Maryellen, 25, told MailOnline from the family's home in Santa Cruz, California. 'We both feel pretty amazed. 'It's amazing to see what our bodies can do, and we felt lucky to have this additional bonding experience available for both of us.' The couple, who married in 2012, discovered the treatment - more common among adoptive families - in a group for lesbians trying to conceive and immediately agreed to pursue it. Maryellen followed a program named the Newman-Goldfarb protocol, which made her body simulate pregnancy. Starting four months before the birth, she took birth control pills and a breastmilk-enhancing drug called Domperidone. The drug does not yet have FDA approval but is prevalent in Europe, some US states, and Canada, where Heidi and Maryellen eventually bought their dosage. Experience: The couple from Santa Cruz, California, said it has made them stronger as a family. Journey: Maryellen (right) started taking birth control pills and a drug called Domperidone four months before Heidi (left) gave birth to Sequoia on November 7. They conceived using artificially inseminated donor sperm. Maryellen stopped the birth control pills six weeks before Heidi's due date, to make her body believe she had given birth, and started 'pumping' up to six times a day. The pump is designed to make a woman's body produce more milk. By the time Sequoia was born on November 7, Maryellen was ready to nurse. She will continue with Domperidone and herbal tablets called 'More Milk Special Blend' until Sequioa is no longer breastfeeding. 'Our friends are fascinated by the fact that my wife and I both breastfeed our daughter,' Heidi, a 26-year-old nurse, said. 'We get a lot of: "Wow, that's amazing!" and "I didn't know that was possible!"' It came after a long battle to conceive. Heidi endured a year-long battle with endometriosis and ovarian cysts that threatened to affect her fertility. In spring this year, she was finally able to undergo an intrauterine insemination (IUI) to implant a donor's sperm in her uterus. But it took ten cycles before the pregnancy test flashed pink. 'It was a heart wrenching time and very hard on us both,' Heidi said. 'Every cycle and negative test was harder than the last, and the doctors were less and less hopeful. Birth: Having followed the meticulous program, Maryellen was able to nurse Sequoia as soon as she was born. Joy: They celebrated the birth at their family home and say they are already easing into their nursing routine. 'Our positive pregnancy test came just in the nick of time, and we were so glad.' Now, four weeks after their home birth, photographed by Santa Cruz Birth Photography, Heidi, Maryellen and Sequoia are easing into their unconventional routine. For Sequoia, it means she doesn't have to wait around - even though she is sometimes stubborn ('she really makes us work for it!'). 'We don't really have a set schedule or rotation,' Maryellen said. 'Whoever is near the baby or holding her will feed her, and the other will try to pump then or shortly after.' 'We are able to sleep in longer chunks due to this, since it's not all on one mama to have to feed her and stay awake. We switch whenever the awake mama feels like she needs help or sleep.' Makes everything easier! Both nursing, it means either can respond to Sequoia's cries if the other is busy. But the crucial benefit is their connection. Maryellen said: 'For me, I am able to feel even closer to her. 'I am absolutely in love with her and feel incredibly connected to her ever since she was in utero, but since she's been out of the womb and I'm breastfeeding, I feel even more connected. 'I know other non-carrying lesbian mothers who feel like they are not as close to their child as the mom who carried the baby, and I know that breastfeeding has helped me feel incredibly bonded to her. 'When she is breastfeeding and falls asleep on me or lays her hand on me, I feel an overwhelming amount of love for her that I wouldn't have were I not breastfeeding.'

By. Chris Pleasance. PUBLISHED:. 08:09 EST, 15 September 2013. |. UPDATED:. 06:05 EST, 16 September 2013. With divorce fast becoming the norm it seems true love is harder and harder to find these days. But as these letters reveal, one smitten couple found a love so strong it was able to endure even while they were separated during World War II. Not only that, it lasted for a total of 70 years of marriage until they both died in 2011, he aged 96 and she aged 92, within just three days of one another. How time passes: Frederick and Elizabeth Noble wed on New Year's Day 1941 while Frederick. was on 48-hour leave from the Royal Tank Corps and stayed married for. the next 70 years. But, as remarkable as their relationship had seemed in life, in death it was about to give up its biggest and most heartwarming surprise. After Frederick and Elizabeth Noble had passed relatives discovered they had kept 250 love letters, telegrams, notes and Valentine's cards from each other. Their grandson, Dr Andrew Rowland, has taken them along to the Antique Roadshow TV program. In one extract read on tonight's show, Frederick writes: 'You are the most wonderful, marvellous, precious, beloved, lovable,. adoring, adorable, charming, divine and loving sweetheart wife that has. ever lived. 'Darling, come a little closer and let me whisper in. your darling ears, all these loving words, because they are meant for. you, my sweetheart.' The pair wrote a series of remarkable and passionate love letters to one another throughout World War II. The amazing collection of 250 letters, telegrams, notes and Valentine's cards was stored in a tea chest. The couple, who shared the same birthday, kept the memories stashed away inside a tea chest in their home in Wingate, County Durham. Speaking about the letters, Fiona Bruce, the show's host, said: 'Theirs was a real love story. What struck me about the. letters was the sheer outpouring of emotion across their pages. 'They. reveal two people who had fallen headlong in love - and that love burned. even more brightly while they were forced apart by war.' Frederick and Elizabeth Noble wed on New Year's Day in 1941 while he was on 48-hour leave from the Royal Tank Corps. He had volunteered for the Army in 1936 despite having been selected. as a professional footballer by Aston Villa and served in Afghanistan,. India, Burma, Ceylon and France. From these war-torn. countries he wrote the tear-jerking telegrams to his wife who was. nursing injured servicemen back home. After the war,. Elizabeth carried on her work as a nurse while Frederick became a miner. in the East Durham coalfield, before rising to the position of colliery overseer. During their long lives the besotted pair built up a large family of two daughters, four grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren and it was grandson who discovered the letters. Perhaps the most heart-wrenching messages were written when Frederick's leave was cancelled. He says: 'I'm very sorry my beloved, I can't get home. That's all I live for,. home and you. In another passage he adds: 'We both feel the same when I have to return from leave. I have to take a. firm hold of myself or I would never come back. 'I hate to see the back. of you as my bus or train pulls out because I know it will be weeks. before I set eyes on you again. It's terrible when we have to part - too. awful for words.' Showing a touch of humour, Frederick writes again to compliment his wife's skill in the kitchen: 'Darling, no matter what you think, I still say that you are a good cook. - so let's not have a small row. You know I wish that today I could. have sat down to one of your dinners.' Elizabeth's communication is more limited, as she was kept in the dark about where her husband was to keep military operations a secret. In the letters she did write she talks about the home front, rationing, and hiding under the kitchen table while bombs fell on the main road near their house. Only a small selection of letter were taken to Antiques Roadshow for filming and the family are keeping the rest secret while they decide what to do with them. While the letters reveal a lot about the couple's marriage, the war and their incredible devotion to one another, only a small selection were taken along to the show's filming in North Yorkshire. The rest are being kept a secret while the family, made up of the couple's two daughters, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, decide what to do with them. In an interview with the Sunday Mirror, Dr Rowland revealed that towards the end of their lives the pair talked about not wanting to go on without each other. He said that the family were comforted in their sadness by the thought that, in the end, Elizabeth had only had to endure three days without her beloved other half. Frederick died peacefully on December 4th, 2011, and Elizabeth on December 7th.

Q: Asking for parenting advice via social networks can be harmless, but it can also be invasive, Kelly Wallace found. Sharing disciplinary problems, emotional issues or developmental issues may be cause resentment for children. "I believe children still have the right to some privacy about their lives," said parenting blogger Pam Moore.
****
A: (CNN)Just about every day on Facebook, I see posts by parents asking for advice related to their children. Granted, many of my friends are parents, but I imagine you see similar posts when you log on as well. And pretty much every time I read one, I wonder about the pluses and minuses of a world in which many parents now head to their social networks to make parenting decisions. Sure, getting advice on how to get a toddler to sleep through the night or how to deal with a fussy eater makes sense and seems relatively harmless. But is there something creepy about picking a baby name based on Internet responses or deciding on a punishment based on the opinions of followers? Last year, an expectant father created a website, NameMyDaughter.com, allowing anyone on the Internet to suggest and vote on a baby name for his daughter. 10 signs you might be addicted to your smartphone. Thankfully for his child, who was born in April, he and his wife reportedly did not go with the winning name of "Cthulhu." Instead, they chose the second place name, Amelia. My question: How is Amelia or any other child named by strangers online going to feel when they learn the origin of their name? "I am sure the child will be happy to know that her name was approved of by thousands of strangers she will never meet," said Vicki Hoefle, author of the book "Duct Tape Parenting: A Less is More Approach to Raising Respectful, Responsible, and Resilient Kids." "Can you imagine the outrage an adult would have if, say, a guy crowdsourced whether he should propose or not?" asked Hoefle, a mom of five who has spent the past two decades working with families on parenting. Asking not just your followers but random strangers to choose a name for your child is no doubt one of the more extreme examples of crowdsourced parenting, but what about deciding discipline based on social media responses or asking for help with deeply personal issues such as a child's depression or anxiety, or a case of bullying, or a child's exploration of sex? Replace the 'sex talk' with the 'tech talk'? In conversations over email with parents across the country, I found a real split in opinions about whether using social media to help parent is positive or inappropriate. Put mom of four Janeane Davis in the positive camp. She said that since many of us live far away from our parents and friends, "social media crowdsourcing is a quick way of getting a lot of opinions and ideas at one time." Davis, founder of the blog Janeane's World, said she only crowdsourced for her children once. "I asked people how they got their sons to behave better at home and school. I did get some good ideas. I tried one of them, and it worked," said Davis, who said she'd do it again. Louise Sattler, a mom of two grown children in Los Angeles, also believes crowdsourced parenting is OK in certain cases. "We use to call it getting advice during coffee klatches," said Sattler, a school psychologist, educational consultant and owner of a business providing sign language instruction. 28 web abbreviations parents should know. Pam Moore, host of the blog Whatevs, believes there is an age limit on when it's no longer OK to discuss a child's behavior on social media and ask for help regarding that behavior, even though she admits she's not quite sure what that key age is. "Whether it's tantrums in kindergarten or wetting the bed at age 9 ... I believe children still have the right to some privacy about their lives," said Moore, a mom of two who writes about motherhood, marathons and life in Boulder, Colorado. "I think that if you aren't sure whether to post something about your kid on Facebook, ask yourself how the child (and you) would feel if he or she ever came across it at the age of 12. If you wouldn't want him or her to see it on your timeline, then it's probably not a great idea to post it on Facebook." There are things that happen within the family that do not need to be aired in public, said Tracey Koch, a mom of two and nurse practitioner who works with teens in Lewiston, Idaho. Chances are, your teen has sexted. "I think you are risking your child essentially shutting down if you publicly discuss punishment over social media. The postings are too easily shared, and information spreads too widely." Beth Engelman, a mom of a 9-year-old in Chicago, agrees. She also thinks parenting by crowdsourcing, which can lead to a multitude of suggestions, can be overwhelming and make parents feel less secure about their own instincts. "I think the ease in which parents can go to social media often chips away at their confidence to trust their gut," said Engelman, co-founder of the blog Mommy on a Shoestring. "The more you are reliant on others to help you make decisions, the less confident you feel making decisions on your own." Another issue, said educational psychologist, consultant and parenting coach Lori Day, is when parents rely on social media, when they should instead be talking to professionals such as a teacher, pediatrician or child psychologist. Teen 'like' and FOMO anxiety. Day notes that people may too often view the advice of some followers and friends, especially popular bloggers who have a large digital footprint, as experts, when in fact they don't have any expertise on the issues at hand. "It's not necessarily about what your credentials are because you could be one of those really wise parents that has really good advice, but sometimes the way I see it articulated, it's almost as if the person is a psychologist and they're in positions that they really don't know about and they aren't educated on, they have no work experience on, and that gets me worried," said Day, author of "Her Next Chapter," a book about mother-daughter book clubs. "That's when parents really need to be seeking out professional help." Separated at birth, reunited on Facebook. Hoefle, whose newest book "The Straight Talk on Parenting" will be released in April, encourages parents to see themselves as "the true experts in their children's lives," not their thousands of friends and followers on Facebook and Twitter. "By answering just a few questions, they can begin to see clearly the strategy that will work best for their children and one that they can actually implement to get the kind of long-term sustainable change they are looking for." When do you think crowd sourced parenting is a bad way to go? Share your thoughts with Kelly Wallace on Twitter or CNN Living on Facebook.

****

Q: NEW: Police make an arrest. Authorities say Matthew Flugence, 20, babysat the girl in the past. Ahlittia North was missing since Saturday morning. Flugence's brother is arrested for obstruction of justice.

Louisiana authorities said Tuesday they found the body of a missing 6-year-old girl, stabbed and stuffed in a trash can down the street from her home. Ahlittia North had been missing since Saturday morning. Her mother awoke to find her gone from their apartment in the New Orleans suburb of Harvey. Late Tuesday night, authorities charged Matthew Flugence, the nephew of Ahlittia's stepfather, in the girl's death. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said Flugence, 20, often babysat for her. Flugence was arrested after he was spotted walking along a road in the area. He had a knife on him, Sheriff's Col. John Fortunato said. Witnesses told authorities that Ahlittia was a friendly, outgoing child who always wanted to be first at the door when the doorbell rang, Normand said. After she was reported missing Saturday, investigators spent all day combing her neighborhood, looking in alleys, Dumpsters and boarded-up fourplexes. They found a pool of blood in one of the buildings, Normand said, and when DNA results came back Monday evening showing the blood belonged to Ahlittia, investigators searched the area again. That's when they found the girl's body in a garbage can, wrapped in a blanket from her house and covered in a garbage bag, Normand said. Investigators looked at the garbage can during their first search of the neighborhood, so they know the body was put inside sometime after Saturday -- but they still don't know when, he said. It's possible Ahlittia's body was placed there so the garbage trucks would take it away. Normand said garbage collection in the neighborhood happens Tuesday mornings. Ahlittia suffered four stab wounds -- two to her neck, likely the fatal wounds, and two to the abdomen, Jefferson Parish Coroner Gerald Cvitanovich said. She also had bruises to the front and back of her head, shoulder, lower back, and lower extremities. Cvitanovich said were no obvious signs during an autopsy of sexual assault. Flugence's brother Russell, 21, was arrested for obstruction of justice in the case, Normand said. Russell Flugence had information about the crime that he didn't come forward with, and he also had information implicating his brother, the sheriff added. CNN's Joe Sutton contributed to this report.

The first rule of hipster fight club: Hipster fight club must know about hipster fight club before it's cool.
Screenwriter Max Landis "gathered acquaintances, friends both casual and close, paired them randomly, put them in a void, and asked them to hit each other in the face," according to his YouTube account.
That's it, really. The result is a hilarious doubling of
video that went around a while back. And, as Landis puts it, "No one was pressured, and everyone was hit as hard as THEY asked to be hit." So that's nice. And although we're merely observing reactions from this video and in no way endorsing the behavior, it's kind of cathartic to get hit in the face, right?
seems to think so – that's him around 1:48.

(CNN) -- You could say Chris Nsamba has always been something of an overachiever. By the age of 16 he'd already won three science competitions for adults. Now in his late 20s, the Ugandan is still dreaming big: He hopes to build and launch the first African manned shuttle into space. "It isn't about money, it isn't about competition or pride," said Nsamba, founder of the African Space Research Program. "The mission is about advancement in space technology as a continent and what we can contribute towards that growth." While the group's plans are ambitious, they are starting at the beginning of the aerospace ladder.
To test their engineering skills, Nsamba and his team are finishing off the first
