taken into custody Sunday afternoon after investigation led to their arrest in an auto theft case.
Two of the youths were 15 and one was 14 years of age. All of them are from Topeka. Further investigation has now linked these youths and possibly others in a spree of criminal events over the weekend.
The investigation into this series of crimes is still in the initial stages and will continue over the next several days. </s> Government Can’t Kill Easy-Bake OvenSaturday, March 5, 2011

UO does horrible, offensive things all the time; take a look if you don’t believe me. This time, though, it’s personal.
They’re not selling the shirt anymore, and they’ve apologized (unconvincingly). The next group of people they dehumanize might not happen to include me. But it’s a sure bet they’re going to keep on being a moral cesspool. The best thing you and I can do, as far as I can figure it, is not shop there, and tell other people not to shop there.

Sometimes I get compliments on my cityscapes. I find this pretty funny since I only attained a good working knowledge of 2-point perspective about eighteen months ago. (3-point, forget about it.) People have asked me: “How do you get character into your buildings?”
It’s really, really simple!
When you ink your characters, do you use a ruler? No? Don’t use one on your backgrounds! If you use different tools when you draw different parts of the page, they will look like they come from different worlds. (Of course, if that’s what you want, go ahead on.)
* Obviously you’re going to use the computer for post-production, there’s just no getting around that. What I do in Photoshop is an adjustment layer for levels, an adjustment layer for black & white, and a layer for erasing stray ink and coffee stains. I hate doing corrections in post, so I just try not to screw up.

Remember last summer, when Michigan was one of the best states in terms of COVID spread?
What caused this flare-up?
Now, with the virus having been more widespread, which resulted in large numbers of mostly older Americans dying from COVID-19, and the rollout of vaccines, the more significant number is the "effective reproduction number," or Rt, which (per covidestim.org) is "the person infected at time t. I."

ButHannah Solis was a good friend. Her edgy sense of humor used get her into trouble, but she'd proved to be a devoted BFF to Nita time and again. And that is exactly what she needed. After a devastating break-up last year, without Hannah, Nita could have fallen into a much deeper depression and likely would be there still. Her "Star Wars" inspired nickname came from their mutual love of the franchise. Although Nita never chose a nickname for herself based on one of her favorite characters, Hannah's handle was a no-brainer.
Nita was in a much better place compared to a year ago. Hannah began inviting her to for lunch every Wednesday, and they would go out for smoothies at least once a month, after church. Even on days when Nita did not go to church, she would still meet Hannah. Both women now looked forward to their time together.
Over taco salad and flan, Hannah announced, "I think you're ready" and handed her a paperback.
"What's this?" Nita asked, surprised.
"It's a book!" Hannah said, with a mischievous smirk. "You know, the one the singles group read at church over the summer: 'Introduction to the Christian Single Life' by Dr. Challis Horkern."
"Oh, and I'm ready...?"
drama. You're happy again." Hannah stirred the last bits of ic'e in her glass with her straw as if urging them to hurry up and melt already.
"It's time for you to get back out there. I thought we'd read and discuss each chapter. It'll be like having our own private book club on the telephone.
Wanna' do it?"
"Sure, I guess." Nita nodded, unsure that her friend had correctly assessed her current emotional state.
"OK" Nita tucked her present carefully into her purse with a muted excitement about their new reading project.
"Ready?" Nita thought. "Am I ready?" Her mind went back to the break-up. Henry Gladstone Funderman seemed almost perfect. Living up to his names, he was generally up-beat, and always a lot of fun. He worked hard and had a plan for his life. He came from a upstanding family with loving parents, who raised him to be a decent, productive citizen. Even her own parents liked him, and they were divorced. Henry treated Nita very well... until suddenly, it all stopped.
Nita and Henry had been dating for almost two years and everyone who saw them together knew they were in love. All the signs were there. She even took her favorite parts of his name and made them into a pet name: "Glad-Fun". She would use it whenever they were alone together. He was attentive and considerate and made her feel like a princess. He looked at her as if she was his favorite dessert.
They had begun to daydream out loud together, imagining their future life. Everything was going so well, Nita started daydreaming about an engagement ring and a proposal in her not-too-distant future. It just seemed the logical next step. She had no idea what was coming.
After returning to her home from a date, they said their good-byes at the front door of Nita's building. She walked upstairs to her apartment and Henry went back to his car. Another car pulled up and double-parked next to him and a well-dressed woman got out and confronted him. They began to argue.
In her dark apartment, Nita heard the commotion and rushed to her window. Her apartment was lit only by the street lamp that shown down, like a spotlight on the space where Henry's car was parked. Just enough autumn leaves had fallen to allow her a clear line of sight on that unseasonably warm November night. She knew he couldn't see her, but he clearly wasn't interested in looking her way.
Confused, but concerned for Henry's safety, Nita found herself paralyzed behind the sheer curtains, unable to move. She had never heard Henry raise his voice in anger before, but the two were starting to make a scene in the middle of her street. Her window was open enough for her to hear them, but she couldn't make out exactly what they were saying.
Henry grabbed the pretty stranger by her shoulders and spoke to her forcefully, his eyes were locked onto hers. Still sobbing, she seemed to calm down as she looked up at him. She nodded her head and became still as he continued to speak to her, holding her in his grasp.
Nita was in shock as she watched what was unfolding before her eyes. She had never seen this woman before. She asked herself, “Could this be a coworker or a neighbor? Why was she following us?” Henry had never spoken of any other close female friends, especially none he knew so well that he would argue so passionately with them. Her spinning thoughts were interrupted by the sight of the two kissing as if they had just been pronounced man and wife.
Nita collapsed onto her floor.
Hannah answered the door after Nita's 2nd time ringing her doorbell. "Come on in, girl. You're the first one here. What'd you bring?"
Nita put her pot-luck contribution on the kitchen table and handed her friend her iPod. "I picked three songs".
"OK, are there any fast, up-tempo, happy songs on your playlist?" Hannah asked.
"You'll see" Nita replied.
fied" with her own personal twist. On this day, Hannah transferred the food everyone brought onto Star Wars themed serving plates. She'd re-purpose unconventional items in unexpected ways and her guests couldn't resist talking about them. Nita always admired her natural creativity and obvious gift for hospitality.
Hannah planned these evenings to spend quality time with her friends. After everyone arrived, they would eat, then the women would pour wine and bond while sitting on Hannah's carpet. They'd chat and listen to music each had brought on their smartphones or iPods that she would plug into her sound system. From previous pot-lucks, Hannah found her guests' playlists were as diverse as the women who created them, usually reflecting what was going on in their lives. The music fueled the conversation, then faded into the background as the talk continued.
It was Nita's first time attending one of, what she called, "Hannah's sit-down-shut-up-eat-listen-and-talk" evenings, but Hannah had invited her many times before. In the months since she saw Henry with the woman stranger, Nita had stayed to herself. She rarely went out, except for errands and work. She flatly refused when invited to spend time with anyone whom she considered a friend. Hannah saw it as a major sign of progress that Nita, finally, accepted her invitation.
Elle and Gina Baggins arrived together. They were cousins who were also best friends. A clique of two, they were raised together, almost like sisters, after Elle's father left them; Gina's mom took them in. People admired them for having such a close relationship. If one cousin liked you, the other would likely accept you, too. But, if one had a problem with you, the other would never befriend you, even if she didn't treat you with contempt. Seeing them made Nita wish she had a sister. The Baggins' considered themselves friends with Hannah. As for Nita, maybe they didn't know her well enough yet.
When it was time for dinner, the cousins were the first to sit down at one side of the table. Hannah and Nita brought the last items from the kitchen for their meal. They were somehow able to keep their own private conversation going no matter what else was going on in the room. With Hannah at the head of the table, Nita sat opposite the cousins on her left.
Gina seemed embarrassed at the invitation to share what she had been discussing with her cousin, or maybe she was just annoyed at the prospect of finally participating with the whole group.
Elle offered, "Oh, one of Gina's old room-mates is going through a tough time".
Gina interrupted, "I don't want to talk about it, Elle!"
Elle countered, "But, it made the local news when the case went to court. Everybody knows".
Hannah had little tolerance for gossip, but she wasn't a maniac about it. Sometimes she would hear someone sharing questionable news and just walk away without saying anything. Other times she would steer the conversation to another topic. Her policy was, if someone has news, it's their business who they want to tell; don't change their choices of who they wanna know about their business".
When the dinner ended, the women cleared the table and moved to the living room floor. Hannah's carpet was very comfortable and she didn't mind if any of her friends needed to pull a cushion from the sofa. Extra blankets were folded over the back of a chair waiting for a chilly friend to wrap it around her shoulders. Candles flickered next to the wine glasses and dessert tray.
Nita wedged herself into a corner of the sectional and pulled a large pillow down onto her lap. She had been fairly quiet during the meal. She knew her split with Henry was common knowledge in this room, but she was still not yet ready to talk about it. The conversation kept finding its way back to relationships. She began to use the pillow as her shield against anyone asking her to talk about herself.
The strawberry cheesecake cupcakes were so good, everyone wanted seconds, and Hannah was ready. Smiles were no bigger, that night, than when Hannah brought out the bonus treats. By then, everyone had warmed up and, at least, gotten a little more comfortable in present company. While they happily scarfed down the last morsels of their doubled desserts, Nita caught Elle looking in her direction. This was the first time either of the cousins paid her any attention all evening.
"You have such a pretty smile." Elle conceded.
"I guess I haven't smiled much in a long time." Nita confessed. "Thanks."
Hannah added "It has been a while since I have seen you smile... good to see it again!"
After dumping the emptied cupcake wrappers in the trashcan, Hannah placed a crystal candy dish on the coffee table. It was filled with colorful pieces of paper.
"OK, one at a time, each of us will pick a piece of paper and read it. We'll answer around the room, starting with the person to your left. Nita, will you pick first?"
"Describe the perfect man for you."
Elle was seated to Nita's left, so she answered first. Her response sounded like the one she thought the people at church wanted to hear: "He has to be a Christian and love God". Gina was more interested in height, weight, muscles, money and status. She said she wanted a man who could work-out and attend health-foodie cooking classes with her, someone with whom she could support their mutual commitment to fitness and who treats her like a princess. Nita thought description seemed a bit over-the-top. Hannah joked, "Frankly, I'd like to have some of that!"
"May I skip this question?" Nita begged.
As the women read the questions and shared their answers, they learned more about one another and began to feel more comfortable in their presence. The evening ended with the possibility of new friendships beginning. Although Nita appreciated Hannah's hospitality and Elle's compliment, she was still cautious.


Oil prices fell as China's release of gasoline and diesel stocks alleviated concerns about global supply scarcity, while investors cashed in ahead of a meeting of major crude producers on November 4 that might raise future production targets.
After rising 6 cents on Friday, Brent crude futures fell 46 cents, or 0.6%, to $83.26 a barrel. After rising 76 cents on Friday, U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures fell 64 cents, or 0.8%, to $82.93. The price drops followed China's announcement that it had released reserves of the two fuels to boost market supply and support price stability in some areas.
OPEC+ will meet on November 4th, with analysts anticipating them to stick to a plan to increase 400,000 bpd of production in December. Last week, oil prices rose to multi-year highs, aided by OPEC+'s decision to maintain its scheduled output increase rather than boost it in response to global supply concerns.
As part of a broader push to pressure OPEC+ to increase oil supply, US President Joe Biden asked major G20 energy producing countries with spare capacity to enhance output to assure a stronger global economic recovery.
However, Iraq's official oil marketing organisation, SOMO, stated that Iraq sees no need to raise its production capacities beyond what is currently planned for OPEC countries.
Kuwait's oil minister, Mohammad Abdulatif al-Fares, said that the Gulf nation supports the plan to raise global oil production that has already been agreed upon by OPEC+. The plan, which calls for a monthly rise of 400,000 bpd, secures enough oil supply to keep the global market balanced, he said.
Oil prices are anticipated to remain near $80 by the end of the year, as tight supplies and rising gas prices stimulate a shift to crude as a power generating fuel.

Watch the darkly funny Calvary trailer here:
Attention for McDonagh's film will be high following the success of The Guard. The comedy saw two policemeng. The fish-out-of-water tale included an unorthodox Irish policeman and a no nonsense FBI agent, whose union is unorthodox, improbably but 100% necessary.
The Guard managed to accumulate an impressive 95And while it only managed to pull in $19.5m worldwide, it's $6m budget adds some welcome context to the figure. Now can McDonagh do it again with Calvary?

Śrī Krishna Chaitanya and Nityananda Prabhu wanted to teach that a great devotee may appear in any family or in any caste, and so They had some of Their devotees take birth in such households.
One who takes birth in a low-class family is not disqualified from performing devotional service, nor is one who born in a pure, high-class brahminical family automatically qualified for such service. Whoever engages in the worship of the Lord is a great person; one who does not worship is rejected.

Amongst devatas, Viṣṇu is supreme. Only by uttering the name of Viṣṇu can all of one’s sins be burned up, all inauspiciousness in one’s destiny be destroyed and auspiciousness gained. A single utterance of the name of Rama equals a thousand repetitions of the name of Viṣṇu.

“The Blaine and Butler Combination”
Irish Americans; Labor; Presidential Election 1884;
Blaine, James G.; Butler, Benjamin;
We hope Butler will catch him this time, if he makes any promises.
Thomas Nast drew several cartoons for Harper’s Weekly during the 1884 presidential campaign that featured Republican nominee James G.Here, Butler enters the room as Blaine tries to avoid him by climbing out the window. Unlike most nineteenth-century presidential nominees, Blaine and Butler took to the stump personally, covering much of the same ground as they courted the vote of workingmen, especially Irish-Catholics.
The Irish-Catholic vote was an important part of the Democratic coalition in the late-nineteenth century, particularly in the urban North. Irish-Catholics were repelled by the Republican Party faction that backed the prohibition of alcohol, state-mandated Sunday closing of businesses, and denial of public funds to parochial schools. By the mid-1880s, though, the divisiveness of the education issue had dissipated somewhat.
In 1884, Blaine believed that he could make inroads into the Irish voting bloc by criticizing British policies toward Ireland, by appealing to workingmen through the issue of tariff protection, and by capitalizing’s alienation of Tammany Hall, long associated with the New York Irish. Given the expected (and actual) closeness of the election, New York was crucial to each nominee. Furthermore, the Blaine camp spread rumors that Cleveland was an anti-Catholic bigot, and emphasized the fact that Blaine’s mother was an Irish-Catholic.
Meanwhile, Butler's popularity with Irish Americans and workingmen made him a threat to draw votes away from the Democratic Party. Democratic leaders offered him promises of patronage and a possible cabinet position if he turned down the Greenback-Labor nomination. Butler rejected the Democratic overtures because he could not abide the views of Democratic nominee Grover Cleveland.
The Republicans, on the other hand, wanted Butler to enter the presidential race, and offered to support his campaign with $5,000 per week until the election. (Democrats were secretly funding the campaign of the Prohibition Party nominee, John St. John.) In August, Butler accepted the Republican offer and the Greenback-Labor nomination, and then set out on the campaign trail where he attracted large, enthusiastic crowds. He soon asked for more money from the Republicans, but they refused.
On November 4, 1884, 78.5 percent of the American electorate cast ballots for president, a figure down only slightly from the turnout in 1880. The election in New York State was so close that the results were not known until several days after the polls closed. In the end, Cleveland narrowly won his home state of New York and, hence, the presidency, 219-182 in the Electoral College, and 48.5%-48.26% in the national popular vote. Butler received only 1.8%.


I think it was at the point when I was sitting behind my drum kit looking at the crowd that I finally realized it. Looking out into the crowd of familiar fans and friends was surreal enough, but then to look over and see Pitt standing in his familiar position to my right channeling John Cale, just put it all in perspective to me. It was really happening. The O.G. Loud Pipes were about to play again, something that hasn't been done since 2006 at some party @ Grandpa Spooky's bat cave (Click here to see the photos from that night).  It was good seeing you all, I think we played a fantastic set, and hopefully we get together much sooner than 4 years to do it all over again
Sleazy from Throbbing Gristle passed away last week somewhere in Bangkok. I wasn't that big of a fan but I knew Genius when I saw it. Makes me wish I made the trek to Coachella last year to see them play again. Oh well. I hate when that happens.
And speaking of Death, Leslie Nielsen passed away this past week as well. The movie Airplane! seriously warped my little brain in the 80's, and Leslie Nielson's performance in that flick was a major contributor to that. I loved the Frank Drebin character in the Naked Gun flicks, and who could forget his appearance in Creepshow (I can hold my breath for a loooooooooooongg tiiiiiiiiiimeeeeeeeee... hahahahaha). Yeah, it's a trip when people you grew up watching and loving in the movies gets old and dies. Very strange feeling indeed.
Don't even get me going on what's happening with the Raiders or the Sharks...
Tonight is Bigg's Birthday Bonanza @ Yayo Taco with Die Laughing, B.F.O.M. and Dodsfalla. Come out and wish a cool dude a Happy Birthday, and check out some good bands while you're at it. Tomorrow night @ the Hard Rock Cafe on the Strip is Battle Born, Guilty By Association, Holding On To Sound and some band that should of never gotten back together. ;-) Thursday is Naomi's Birthday Bash with the Apocalyptics, and then Friday there's all sorts of stuff going on, including the Safe Nest benefit @ Area 702 with TheCore and a bunch of other bands, Tatiana's Birthday Party with the Subtimes and a bunch more bands, and then Saturday it's all about 1/2 Ast, The Bitters, The Insect Surfers and The Dickless Bastards @ Ace's And Ales, which, I think, is owned by the guitar player from Alice Cooper's band, if you can believe that! A fun filled week, to say the least.
Get there early. We're one of the first bands playing. If you miss out, you're gonna have to wait another 4 years to see us play together again. Unless you live in San Francisco, New York, Austin or Seattle, of course! ;-) Trust me - you do NOT wanna miss this tonight. Attendance is mandatory. Leaner. Meaner. Cleaner. Some things do get better with age. See ya there!
  Go figure! Apparently, it hit Vegas pretty hard, with a lot of people I know either getting slowed up by it or completely shut down because of it, so I think I'm in good company. Good to catch it now and get it out of the way, right?  At least that's my excuse. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Anyways, all sorts of things going on here, with lots of good gigs happening and some coming up that potentially look interesting. I was hyped on tonight's gig @ the Divebar with the Queers, but after hearing about what happened there last Friday at the Agent Orange gig and then on Sat. with the D.I. gig, I think I'll be staying home. Drama and Drunken Fools Fighting just bores me to tears. Nice to know nothing changes there, despite what they're telling people, huh? What? You didn't know Agent Orange and D.I. played @ the Divebar this past weekend? Yeah, neither did a lot of people apparently. Promoters, Bars, Clubs, whatever, try getting the info out to people and, surprise surprise!, people might show up to the gigs. A strange concept I know. And BTW, Myspace is dead. If you're posting show flyers and gig information through that fucked up beyond belief vehicle, don't forget to post the same info on Friendster too.  Promoters - get a Facebook page. Everyone you know is on there, and if you wanna entice people to get out and check out some of the bands you have playing your venue, that's the way to do it. That, and maybe send me the info beforehand, so I can put it on my Gig Calendar page and let all 9 people who read this website know what's coming up and what's going on. Yup.
Pitt is coming to town for Thanksgiving. Just to grub with his family, and not to play a surprise reunion gig @ the Double Down with the Loud Pipes this weekend. Remember, you did NOT hear that from me. ;-) Pek was spinning through the channels and saw Jesse on Pawn Stars last night, fixing up some old Gibson ukulele that some shnook brought in. Pek's daughter seemed hyped that she had been playing and hanging out at a 'TV Star's" house. LOL Kids. You gotta love 'em. Me, I don't even hang out with Jesse in his "TV Star" house as much as I do Gibson, his precious beautiful baby boy. I just hang with him on the couch drinking Slurpees and watching football. Between watching him and watching Tony running around with Jesse's other boys playing football in the street, I'm fully entertained every Sunday afternoon. Yeah, that Tony. Grandpa Spooky. The Prince of Pinche Darkness. He came back from the South healthy and vibrant. Weird. It was a bit unsettling at first, but now I'm used to it. Tony's outlived his usefulness as mine and Jesse's Raiders good luck charm though, the bastard. After our drubbing by Pittsburgh yesterday, I'm convinced our good luck well has run dry.  Inconsistent play and a giant clusterfuck at the Goalie position has them looking real, real bad. **sigh** Oh well. It's early, right? It's gonna be an interesting Season, that's for sure.
"Hey, how did you hear about this show?"
"Oh, I read about it on this website called 138."
"I didn't even know the Bronx were playing until I read about it on your website!"
Yeah, I think I've found my niche with the website. Gig information. I know lots of people get info about gigs from here, because they tell me so, or they copy my misinformation and misspellings word for word and put them up on their Myspace pages. **coughcoughlasvegaspunkshowlist** hahahaha Who cares? As long as the message is getting out there, that's all that matters.
After that gig everybody and their Mom was @ the Beauty Bar to see The Bronx playing for free. I love running into people who I talk to all the time on Facebook and having them completely ignore me when I try to talk to them in real life!  You would of thought it was a high school dance or something! LOL The band needed a tuba player and some Spanish cat calls to make the sham more believable though. Seriously. Lame. As. Fuck. I almost left it was so terrible. All was forgiven about an hour later when the Bronx proper took the stage. Intensity level went through the roof from the first note played onwards, and as one of the bodies being pummelled up front against the low slung stage, I again caught a kick to the eye - same eye, same situation - an errant stage diver. I stood in the back after that and watched the action from the rear. My Momma didn't raise no fool! LOL The Bronx were ridiculously awesome, and although I'm not that big of a fan of theirs, they did play my favorite song by them, Shitty Future, so I'm happy I was there. Why weren't you there? Something better going on? No matter the case, if you weren't there, you missed out big time! Pictures are already posted. Show Review might be forthcoming, who knows?
any flyer with Bart Simpson on it is a winner in my book!
Tomorrow it's all about this gig, again, at the LVCS, featuring TurbonegrA, an all female tribute to every Turbojugend's raison d'etre! Local support is amazing, and you do not wanna miss this gig - Seriously!
I GOT ERECTION!!!
Comic books and Punk Rock - what more do you need???
I do get out on Sundays to watch the Raiders at Casa de Amoroso though, and with our new Good Luck charm Tony, things have been most festive as of late. Roxie is the best host a group of Neanderthal football fans could ever hope to have, and with our 3 game winning streak going into the bye week, I'm feeling most optimistic that we'll give Pittsburgh a good run for their money next game. And what about what happened to Wade Phillips? hahahahaahahahaha Jerry Jones is a douchebag! The only way the Cowboys are going to the Super Bowl this year is if they buy a ticket!   Niemi Sucks, the Joe Thornton suspension was total bullshit, but you know what - at least we're not the Ducks, the Kingss, or the Sabres!! hahaha Oh SNAPS!

The story goes that inn, King George II stood during the Hallelujah Chorus in deference to the King of kings. Scholars still debate the why and even the if of this singular event. Had the king been suddenly awakened by the loud music? Was he stretching his legs at the two-hour mark? Was it a reaction to his painful gout? I don’t suppose we’ll ever know the answer.

Last year and about a month before this time, journalist Mark Snelling hitched a ride through a portion of Somalia with a Red Crescent relief mission. [1] He filed three brief pages on the experience, and as I expected, he found a lovely country in disarray and disrepair.
Missing in information: the results of shelling militant positions by a U.S. destroyer last week off the Puntland coast.
Let's reflect a moment here: you rob a bank; the police chase you back to your sanctuary, guns blazing as you go; the army arrives to control the situation, which is your situation, of course, and you set up sniper positions to sap military personnel as the civilian evacuating begins and tedious negotiations and politics get under way to save lives; the army, applying heavier metal than you have, then grinds away at your positions until your sandbox turns into one square kilometer of wreckage, and the Palestinians who have elected to stay, a former and now middle-aged PLO terrorist, who has done his time, among them, revile you for endangering their lives and bringing this disaster down on their heads; at which point, you turn around and assert that you're defending them.

"If I had a chance to do it another way, go somewhere where there's championships or whatever, I wouldn't have changed it," Flannery said. "I've always wanted every kid in this community to have a chance to play football."
"Not only is he one of my coaches, he's one of my best friends," Brown said. "That makes a difference."
Through the years, he's acquired extensive knowledge from several head coaches with various personalities, all while remaining fairly even-keeled. Flannery began coaching when drinking water during practice was frowned upon, but he never truly had that "old school mentality."
"He's very technical in his coaching, relates to the kids well," Brown added. "He's a very good football coach."
"I never felt it was in the best interest of the program," Flannery said. "I was looking out for the program, not for myself."
"I've had a chance to coach with some really good coaches," said Flannery, referring to a group that includes Vic Marsh, Mike Jones, Randy Shepard, John Dyer and Terry Osborne. "When people say, well why didn't you win?
"We don't have kids moving in or any of that stuff. We look at our seventh grade team, and we know what we're going to have in a couple years."
"I'm probably making $1 an hour coaching," he said with a chuckle. "If somebody's coaching for the money, they're really a bad financial planner."
"We're looking at the big picture," he said. "These kids are still practicing hard. We think that there's some good things coming down the road."

The World Day of Prayer takes place right across the world each year on the first Friday of March. For many years now the women of Doneraile, both from St. Mary’s and the Roman Catholic Church, have organised the event together, alternating each year between both churches. This year it was the turn of the Roman Catholic Church to host the event and Mrs. Eily Palmer, one of the main organisers, suggested that it be held in her local church of St. Joseph’s, Hazelwood (part of Doneraile Parish). This proved to be an ideal location. It was warm, friendly and inviting, despite the dreadful cold outside. The simplicity and size lent itself perfectly to the occasion.
The theme for this year’s Service was “Hallelujah! Let everything that has breath praise God!” and that is what we did! This year’s Service was put together by women from the Cameroon and we were highly honoured to have two women from the Cameroon amongst us. They joined with other African women and men, from our own church and from Christ Chapel of Grace in Mallow in traditional dress, in leading a colourful procession and recession of praise. They also sang hymns of praise during the offertory.
The address was beautifully given by Mrs. Regina Ohonsi, wife of Pastor Francis from Christ Chapel of Grace. She reminded us that we should praise God in all
Situations. This is what African women do. They may not know where the next meal is coming from but they believe that God will provide and so they praise and thank Him in all situations no matter how bad things are. Certainly “the joy of the Lord” was very evident on the night. Someone commented that after the Service “there was a smile on everyone’s face.”
Afterwards, when we were all sharing a very welcome cup of tea, everyone was hugely impressed by the wonderful witness of our African sisters and brothers, and it made us only too well aware of the inadequacy of our own half-hearted attempts at praise and worship. We need to hear and see a lot more of them, and maybe it will be infectious!
We greatly appreciated the fact that our Rector was present to support us. Thank you to all who helped to make this such a joyful occasion – the readers, organisers, choir, those who helped with the tea, those who just came along and, above all, to those who organised the “praise” group. A special word of thanks to Mrs. Ina Lillis who put so much thought, prayer, effort and hard work into organising the event. She has certainly helped, in no small way, to revive the event. The collection of E300 has been forwarded to the World Day of Prayer Committee in Dublin.
On Wednesday the 10th of March 2010 we held a meeting in St. James Hall Mallow to consider: What is our vision for the future of our church? Everyone who attended was invited to share their hopes for our church life together in the years ahead and explore ways to build on what God has done here in the past and to take part in recognising what God is calling us to prioritise in the immediate future.
The first one is to be held on Monday the 19th April in Doneraile, Tuesday the 20th April in Castletownroche and Wednesday the 21st in Mallow. All meeting are at 8pm and your attendance at these meeting would be greatly appreciated to draw up an action plan for the growth and development of your particular church.
We would like to thank the work party (men and women) from throughout the Union who responded to the call to help clean up St Anne’s Church and graveyard and to prune the trees in St. Jame’s Church. This work is an on going project under the guidance of John Coulter and his able assistant Denis Dineen. In the interest of gender balance I better mention Jackie Nagle and Eleanor Woods (even though she lost John’s hand clippers!)
We express our sympathy to Gordon Mewis and his family on the death of his father in England and also to Ruth Sherlock on the death of her aunt in Kerry.
Following Church 21’s discussions it was decided to arrange something for the over 60 age group. If you have ideas about this and/or are willing to help arrange something please give your name to one of the Church 21 members. Rev. Denis, Emmanuel Adebisi, Ruth Sherlock, Susan Brennan, Avril Gubbins or Diana Buckley on or before Sunday 11th April and we will then arrange a meeting to discuss it.
We are planning to do a time line in Mallow Church. If you have any photos or history on the church going back years and would be willing to hand them in (they will be returned). Please do so to any of the Church 21 members.
Eight members of our Youth Group attended the annual quiz in Douglas. We had a fabulous night and would like to congratulate our neighbours in Fermoy Union on winning the quiz. Again thanks to all those who organised the night, these events don’t just happen they are the result of a lot of hard work and planning.
ST PATRICK DAY PARADE
The Mallow No 1 National School took part in the Mallow St. Patrick’s Day Parade the theme for their presentation was the Green Environment. We would like to congratulate them on coming first in the Education section.

We have to thank whoever was responsible for providing and preparing tea for us after the Service on Mother’s Day 14th March and particularly – as has always happened over the years – to thank the Fathers for attending to the Washing up afterwards! Another word of thanks to the children of our congregation who, under the leadership of Rachel Wharton, distributed flowers to each of our Mothers present – starting with Mrs. Dorrie Daly, our most senior Grandmother. Last, but not least, our thanks to Ring Nurseries in Doneraile who kindly provided the flowers.
The Blackwater Social Club AGM was held on Tuesday the 16th March in the Adair Hall Fermoy. Linda Deane was re-elected Chairperson, Diana Buckley Secretary and Gail Patterson Treasurer.

MOTHERS UNION AND FRIENDS
For our March meeting we joined with the Fermoy branch for the Lady’s Day Service on Thursday March 26th. We had a Holy Communion Service celebrated by Rev. Eileen Cremin and Margaret McCormack was commissioned as there branch leader on the night. This was followed by refreshments in the hall.
Our next meeting is the Diocesan Council meeting in St. Peter’s Church Bandon on Thursday 29th April at 7pm.
There is only two more Saturday mornings for bible Club before the Summer Holidays Saturday 17th April and Saturday 24th April. Thanks to all the teachers for putting in so much work into preparing for each week.
Plans are well under way for our Alpha Course which commences on Thursday 22nd April at 8.00 p.m. in the Hall, Mallow. It will run for six nights. The following sessions will take place on each Wednesday night.
When exploring Church21 we realised that, for change and growth to take place in our Union of Parishes, it has to begin within ourselves. This is the prefect opportunity for us to explore our Faith and to seek a closer relationship with Christ. Alpha is a tried and tested method of doing so. A lot of thought and prayer is going into the planning of this Alpha Course so please make every effort to be there. Don’t miss out!
This meeting – held in the Old McAuley Nursing Home in Charleville on the Third Sunday evening each month at 7.30pm has been running now for quite a few years and comprises members of the Roman Catholic Church, the Methodist Church and our own Mallow Union of Parishes. Unfortunately the Church of Ireland representation has dropped sadly in recent months and it would be lovely to see more of us joining together for this time of corporate worship. Do please contact Olive Buckley (24165) if you need help with directions as to find the venue.
“BY ANY MEANS SAVE SOMEONE”
Lift up your eyes and look on the field (John 4: 34-38). St Paul’s motivation to save souls by any means made him sacrifice much and as a result innumerable people got saved even after 2000 years his epistles continued to be awesome. When a child of God was going around distributing tracts, he knocked at the door of a house. After a while a man opened the door. The Christian offered him a tracks, the man of the house angrily snatched the tract and banged the door shut on his face. Anxious to know why the man had been so upset and angry; the Christian went back to the house after a few days. This time the man has a smile on his face when he opened the door. He invited the Christian in and showed him the fan from which he had hung a rope to commit suicide. He had been in act of putting his head into the noose that day when the doorbell had rung. Dear child of God do all you can be all means to save someone. In John 4 Jesus ministry is going to an end but needs go to Samaria to do what to save the Samaritans. Children of God what are you passing through, when dark clouds of trials and temptations rise in our lives, we can look to the cross where the Lord has made a covenant of safety with us, if you look at your trial you’ll be discouraged. If you look at the cross you can press on cheerily no matter how the trials (Jesus is Lord).

Flyweight objects must be immutable bFlyweight objects provide a memory-efficient way to share common state between objects. This common state is called "intrinsic." Intrinsic state must be kept immutable, because if you change it, you change it for every object sharing the intrinsic state.
The immutable nature of the intrinsic state also allows the flyweight to be thread-safe.
When you change, for example, the x and y coordinates they will change for that instance of Tree only. But when you change colour it will change for all Trees.
Making the fly-weight shared part of the Tree immutable prevents a developer accidentally changing a property on all Trees when they mean to change it only for one Tree.

In the world of SUVs, diesel engine is very important and you need to provide a very powerful one to increase your competitive power.
So, Porsche realised this situation and revealed the new 4.2-lt twin-turbo diesel engine. This new diesel engine produces 382 PS of power and 850 Nm of torque. Both power and torque levels are really high and makes Porsche Cayenne one of the most powerful SUV on the market.

Conversion of two flats into one house, including complete refurbishment.
The client brief was to design a light and spacious house, containing two large interconnected living and entertaining areas for the family.
We designed a large open plan living space in the lower ground floor consisting of the main kitchen, leading to the large dining and media area opening up to the rear garden .
The project plays with different level changes on each floor, to create areas of privacy within the open space, while at the same time maintaining a continuous flow throughout by using dark timber flooring. This acts as the main connection between all floors and throughout the cantilevered staircase.

The Hanoitimes - Appropriate mechanisms and policies will help Hanoi attract social resources and investment in infrastructure and smart services and utilities.
Hanoi finds itself at an early stage of creating a smart city and urgently needs to set up an information technology (IT) architecture which is commensurate with its development, according to local media.
Over the past years, Hanoi has shown a drastic transformation after joining the Industrial Revolution 4.0. The application of IT in many fields has brought initial positive results for the city.
Currently, three traffic video surveillance systems in the city are operated from control centers. For instance, the Traffic Control Center run by the Traffic Police receives real-time traffic data through cameras installed along the streets.
Another example is the Bus Operating Center under Hanoi Transport Corporation (Transerco) which manages and operates the largest public transport network in the city. According to Transerco’s executives, IT has improved the management and quality of bus services, actively contributing to building a civilized and modern public transport.
The benefits of IT application is best shown in the settlement of administrative procedures through one-stop shop mechanism, step by step reducing the procedures for people.
Gamuda Land’s Deputy General Director Dennis Ng Teck Yow said that building a smart city depends not only on technology but also smart infrastructure to create the connection.
According to experts, as smart city is operated based on data and information, Hanoi must find out what it needs, which technology is appropriate, how IT infrastructure will be applied to suit the city’s social infrastructure. Then, it is possible to shape an essential technical architecture for the smart city creation.
investments, experts suggest.

Victor Frankenstein and John Faustus are two characters that are alienated because of their intellectual curiosity. Faustus’s and Frankenstein’s pursuits of knowledge begin with an inexorable journey to their downfalls as they become alienated. Both characters attempt to exceed human ability and are alienated from God because of their attempts. These men are concerned with the secrets of nature and are ultimately alienated from the world because of their quests which violate nature. They are alienated from themselves because of their extreme passions for knowledge. Faustus and Frankenstein could escape their tragic endings and their alienation's if only they had fortitude.
According to Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary (1985), alienation is “of or belonging to another person or place, foreign in nature or character, the action of a stranger, or a state of estrangement, or a withdrawing or separation of a person or his affections from and object or position of former attachment”. According to the class lecture on alienation, Raymond Williams defines alienation as “ cutting off or being cut off from God, a state of being cut off or estranged from the knowledge of God or from his mercy or worship, loss of original human nature, or a loss of connection with one’s deepest feelings and needs or sense of powerlessness”(notes).
Victor Frankenstein’s journey begins with his notable childhood. Victor is extremely loved by his parents and they bestow upon him a wonderful and educated life as a child. Victor states, “During every hour of my infant life I received a lesson of patience, of charity, and of self-control”(39). However his downfall begins as he develops a desire for the knowledge of the metaphysical or physical secrets of the world. He attends the University of Ingolstaldt and begins his work on the creature. The task consumes him, and he rejects his family and his upbringing that are so full of love and contentment. Victor states, “And the same feelings which made me neglect the scenes around me caused me also to forget those friends who were so many miles absent, and whom I had not seen for so long a time”(40). Victor disregards the lessons that he learned as a child and becomes obsessed. He loses his patience and his self-control, which result in his alienation.
John Faustus’s journey begins when he is a young man. His parents send him to school and he studies and becomes a very intelligent doctor. The chorus says of Faustus, “Excelling all, and sweetly can dispute In th’ heavenly matters of theology”(Prologue). Faustus begins his downfall as he searches for knowledge but complains that he has not accomplished any great featc. Faustus confuses knowledge with power and wants to learn the black arts so that he can become a supreme being.
Victor Frankenstein attempts and completes one of God’s greatest miracles. He creates a human life. In his attempt and completion of playing God, he loses all faith and contemplation of his higher being. Victor asserts, “I seemed to have lost all soul or sensation but for this one pursuit”(39). After the being’s creation, Victor realizes that he must destroy it. Instead of praying to God and asking for advice, he takes matters into his own hands and pursues for the death of his creature. Perhaps Victor is alienated from God in the sense that he feels himself a supreme being, a creator, or an arbiter of who shall live and die.
Faustus attempts and succeeds in surpassing human ability by involving himself with the devil and possessing certain black magic powers. Faustus gives in to the Seven Deadly Sins and sells his soul to the devil. Faustus states, “Ay, take it, and the devil give thee good of it”(2.1.22). Selling one’s soul to the devil is essentially alienating oneself from God and the grace of God. However, although Faustus is deemed a possession of the devil, he is not completely alienated from...
...most famous novels from this era, Frankenstein, conveys the style of Romanticism. The main character Victor Frankenstein, a man who is sensitive, intelligent, and passionate about science, becomes absorbed in the quest to figure out what creates life. Dr. Faustus, a famous novel written during the Scientific Revolution period, plays with the idea of sorcery and magic. Dr. Faustus sold his soul to the devil in order to gain power and knowledge. Although Victor Frankenstein and Dr. Faustus have different reactions to their self-created problems, both of them have a thirst for knowledge and try to transcend human limitations that lead to their own destruction. Both Victor Frankenstein and Dr. Faustus try to transcend human limitations by aspiring to equal God, which no human will ever have the ability. Victor began to undertake the task of creating “a human being”, but he didn’t comprehend the “magnitude and complexity” of his plan (Shelley 32). God had never intended for mankind to possess the ability to create a living being. Victor, foolish enough to strive to match God, didn’t understand the consequences for his actions. Victor soon became obsessed with his work and became very ill. When he finally finished the “beauty of...
...DR FAUSTUS IS MARLOW’S CHRISTIAN PLAY WITH ANTI CHRISTIAN ELEMENT. COMMENT. ALSO DISCUSS IDEA OF KNOWLEDGE IN THE LIGHT OF RENAISSANCE CONTEXT. Christopher Marlowe’s “Dr Faustus” is a renaissance tragedy written at a time of religious conflict and controversy between Protestants and Catholics in England. It is Christian play but ironically, it depicts anti Christian element. In play, Faustus seen as a renaissance man who has thirst for knowledge and power. He is cunning, self-conceited man and has no connection to spirituality and belief. In the quest of knowledge, he consciously chooses to defy Christianity and renounces God in hopes that he will gain something greater from his sacrifice. Faustus situation is a symbol for the people of the era of the Renaissance who lost their faith in Christianity and God, and devotes themselves to science and seeks knowledge in a purpose to achieve power (i.e. atheism). Marlow portrays Faustus as a respected member of the academic world who has studied the bible and fully well informed about the religion. In the opening speech, he praised various subjects like Logic, Metaphysics, Medicine, Law and Theology and impressed scholars with his knowledge. The "Prologue" in "Act 1" provides the background for Dr Faustus, revealing his intelligence. That shortly he was graced with Doctor's name However,...
...Frankenstein and How to Read Literature Like a Professor Chapter 1: Every Trip is a Quest (Except When It’s Not) The pursuit of knowledge is the very heart of Frankenstein. Mary Shelley depicts how the very pursuit, thirst for knowledge ruined one man’s life. Victor’s life is consumed by a want for more knowledge and Mary Shelley shows the before and after effects of that relentless pursuit. Robert Walton life could also be ruined by an endless need for more knowledge. The ruthless pursuit of knowledge, of reaching for a distant light proves dangerous to both Victor and Robert. The monster, Victor’s act of creation, eventually results in the destruction of everyone dear to him and Robert’s expedition is dangerously encased sheets of ice. It is here that the two characters pursuit of knowledge diverges. Victor’s telling of his story shows the dark path his need for knowledge led him down and ultimately his obsessive hatred of the monster, his creation, leads to his death. It is the telling of Victor’s story that pulls Robert back from his single minded mission and shows him the destruction that can lead from a blinded need for knowledge. Although the monster’s learning experiences and knowledge are not as advanced as Victor and Robert’s it is significant in this book. The monster’s thirst for knowledge was driven by a need for acceptance and understanding of his creation and ultimate rejection. Chapter...
...“Doctor Faustus is the tragedy of an aspiring intellect that is doomed to failure.” Discuss. Introduction Doctor Faustus, a unique creation of Christopher Marlowe, conveys a deep conception of tragedy. In awe inspiring and terror, the play fulfils one of the true functions of tragedy. It thrills us because there is something of the ‘desire of the moth for the star’ of Faustus’s desire to conquer human limitation, in all of us, and we are fascinated by the audacity with which he persists in his desperate course. Extraordinary Courage and Indomitable Will Doctor Faustus deals with the heroic struggle of a ‘great souled’ man doomed to inevitable defeat. The entire interest in a Marlovian tragedy centres round the personality of the hero, and the pleasure comes from watching the greatness and fall of a superhuman personality. And ordinary German scholar, in the beginning, Faustus’s intellectual endowment raises him to the status of a great hero. He has the genuine passion for knowledge infinite. With his inordinate ambition he soars beyond the petty possibilities of humanity, leagues himself with superhuman powers and rides through space in a fiery chariot exploring the secrets of the universe. Marlowe’s Faustus aspires to be more than man and therefore repudiates his humanity and rebels against the ultimate reality. Being a true Renaissance hero, he surpasses his mortal bounds to be as powerful on earth as Jove in...

It’s perfectly fine to wear your white dress with opaque tights, leggings or dark heels. Ginnifer Goodwin, for example, wore black tights and shoes with her white Camilla and Marc dress while Kim Kardashian wore the same dress sans tights. Goodwin looked far edgier and gave the dress the full attention it deserved. Derek Lam’s white dresses were all paired with black stilettos as they strutted down the runway last September. Just remember that tank tops and sundresses are not cold weather appropriate!

An Iron Fist season 2 character description suggests that the Marvel/Netflix series will be introducing a new female villain in the mix, with the list of possibilities including Tanya Adrian aka. Lady Gorgon. Iron Fist season 1, of course, featured a female antagonist of its own in the form of Madme Gao (Wai Chin Ho), a member, who first made her debut in the Marvel/Daredevil season 1. After menacing Danny Rand (Finn Jones) for a good chunk of Iron Fist's freshman season, Gao went off the radar and subsequently resurfaced as one of the main baddies in this summer's The Defenders crossover event.
Although Gao (seemingly) perished with the other four "fingers" of The Hand during The Defenders, Iron Fist season 1 also setup another female antagonist for season 2; namely Joy Meachum (Jessica Stroup), who was shown plotting her revenge against Danny with the latter's old comrade from K'un-Lun, Davos (Sacha Dhawan) near the conclusion of the season. While Iron Fist season 2 showrunner Raven Metzner - who is taking over from season 1 showrunner and series creator Scott Buck - will no doubt pick up that narrative thread, it's not unreasonable to assume that Danny will be facing some new enemies this time around, too.
First introduced in comic book form in Punisher War Journal Vol. 2, #20 back in 2008, the Lady Gorgon character is a member of The Hand and was famously hired by the villainous Jigsaw/Billy Russo to kill Frank Castle/The Punisher. Ben Barnes made his Marvel/Netflix small screen debut as the Billy Russo character in The Punisher season 1 this year and has since completed his transformation into the disfigured Jigsaw. However, if "Tanya Parker" is indeed Lady Gorgon, then it's unlikely that she will have any ties to Barnes as Billy Russo, seeing as The Punisher TV show tends to avoid connections to other Defenders TV series whenever possible.
The Lady Gorgon character would provide an organic way for Iron Fist season 2 to incorporate The Hand back into the mix, even though The Defenders seemingly left the organization in shambles with With production on Iron Fist season 2 set to get underway next week, additional details - including, a casting announcement for the "Tanya Parker" role and more details on who, exactly, they are - should be arriving sooner than later now. The possibility of a cool new villain, plus a fresh showrunner at the helm and confirmation that Misty Knight (Simone Missick) is joining the fun this season, is reason enough for now to be hopeful that Iron Fist season 2 marks an improvement on its not so beloved predecessor.

Teen Mom Week in Review: Chelsea Houska Posts a Hot Bikini Selfie and More News | OK!
And we're back with another fun-filled week of Teen Mom news, and boy did those gals (and guys, too) keep us on our toes!
All Teen Mom talk has reverted to Chelsea Houska this week. Normally not one of the cast members to make headlines, Chels made the news for a good reason this week—she posted a super hot bikini selfie!
Over in North Carolina, Jenelle Evans is still pregnant, even though her due date has come and gone. She's responded to a few fan questions saying that she hasn't even had contractions yet, and also has been posting a series of cutesy family pics on Instagram like this one that prove that that bun just won't come out of the oven. Come on, Kaiser!We're ready for ya!
Can't wait to see Girl Meets World!
And speaking of Twitter, remember that Farrah Abraham/Catelynn Lowell Twitter feud that we mentioned last week?Farrah just won't let it go!When asked by Radar Online what she thinks about the whole thing, she said, "I've moved on with my life. Maybe they should too." Have you really though, Farrah?
But clearly Cate and Ty won't let it get them down. Tyler posted this too-cute-for-words pic of him and Catelynn goofing around in the car, but wait, are those cameras we see on the dashboard?Could this mean that the new season of Teen Mom is happening (and thus, will be confirmed) sooner than later?


Catholic Sacristan: Journalistic Integrity—Is there such a thing anymore?

Have the mighty have fallen?
Democratic nations rely heavily on journalists who understand a responsibility to report the news, not to make or invent the news, by presenting the facts, which is to say truthful information without spin. So often the content that journalists and media organizations proffer is little more than commentary without substance, or reflective of personal bias that many journalists are tragically unaware of or incapable of freeing themselves from in order to serve the truth. Mainstream journalists have amply demonstrated an inability to convey information regarding a wide variety of topics ranging from the law to religion to science and social issues. Who can deny the impact journalists have had on reshaping the narrative to assist the reengineering of social institutions in the West?
Unlike our American cousins who have access to several independent media watchdog groups, Canadians largely rely upon the media to self police (Can you say the 'guilty banging the gavel' or the 'inmates running the prison'?
When the media cannot nor will not represent the facts with precision, fair-minded people will abandon the purchase of newspapers and online news services and simply avoid the mainstream media that more and more are resembling their formerly distant trashy tabloid cousins. The behaviour of individuals representing the mainstream media—national, regional, local, college—can and should be derided as an obstacle to creating an informed populace. As long as media organizations and individual journalists engage in cheap editorializing, rumour mongering and the uncritical selective adoption of political enterprises, society will be mired in useless controversy and partisanship. To paraphrase Pope Saint Leo the Great: Journalists, remember your dignity!


Objectives Our aim was to investigate the prevalence of MEFV gene mutations in patients with SLE and their effect on organ involvement in a well-defined group of SLE nephritis patients.
Methods Carrier frequencies of MEFV gene mutations (M694V, M680I, V726A and E148Q) were investigated in 111 SLE patients (102 females, 9 males, mean age 40.7±13.1 years [median age 39, min–max: 19 – 82])Carrier frequency for the MEFV gene mutations under study was 14.4% in SLE patients and 18.8% in controls (p=0.34). After the exclusion of the less penetrant E148Q variation, re-analysis revealed an association between exon 10 mutations and SLE nephritis [p =0.050, odds ratio (OR) 4.16, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04–16.6]. Carrier rate for the E148Q mutation decreased in the SLE group (controls vs. SLE=20/186 vs. 4/111, p=0.03) and E148Q mutation was absent in SLE nephritis (controls vs. SLE nephritis=20/186 vs. 0/47, p=0.016, OR=11.69, 95% CI=0.69-197.13).
Conclusions Carrier rate of the studied MEFV mutations was slightly lower in the SLE group, which is in parallel with previous observations that FMF may confer some protection from SLE. Interestingly, Exon 10 mutations were associated with SLE nephritis only after the exclusion of the E148Q mutation. The significance of the E148Q as a disease causing mutation is still controversial.(3,4) Strikingly, the E148Q mutation disappeared with SLE disease severity while its carrier rate was 10.7% in controls. Until now, E148Q mutation was evaluated on the basis of its similar frequency in FMF and control groups and by the presence of healthy subjects homozygous for this mutation. Whether E148Q is a polymorphism generally affecting inflammatory pathways is not tested, yet. The only study, dealing with this issue reports an association with longevity and E148Q mutation.(5)

There's nothing I hate more than cleaning up after Jimmy Carter's verbal messes.
But I couldn't let this one go unanswered.
Carter thinks it's unfair the U.S., European Union and Israel have refused to recognize s. The Islamists won 42 percent of the popular vote and a majority of parliamentary seats.
I totally disagree with that premise. Quite frankly, if the goal is peace and freedom in the region – both for Israelis and Arabs – there is simply no substitute to destroying them both.
Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany through elections. That didn't make him a legitimate leader. Instead, his election was an indictment of the morality of the German people at that time in history. Likewise, Hamas' electoral victories last year don't make the murderers politically legitimate. They are an indictment of the morality of the Arabs living in Gaza and the West Bank.
Hahey didn't have the option of voting for freedom-loving statesmen. Their choice was between the corruption represented by Abbas, a disciple of Yasser Arafat, and the unrelenting fanaticism of Hamas. They chose the latter.
Frankly, the world would have been better off had the Americans and Europeans minded their own business and not weighed in on the side of corruption.
Palestinian Arabs are taught to hate Jews – all of them – from the time they are infants. It is the central guiding principle in their education. They are taught to believe in jihad and to esteem the suicide bomber. Christians are infidels, too, and subject to widespread persecution throughout the Palestinian Authority.
The truth is we all lose when election charades are held in such hateful authoritarian hellholes.
It's wrong to choose sides between devils like these – wrong for Bush and wrong for Carter.
