Oklahoma pulls away from UConn in Fiesta Bowl

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) Watching film of their two previous, disastrous trips to the Fiesta Bowl back at the team hotel, Oklahoma's players didn't cringe, didn't get that here-we-go-again feeling.

School Uniform

We expect all children to wear school uniform. It creates a smart impression and is conducive to a sense of community. The school colour is royal blue. We offer the following guidelines:

Grey skirt/pinafore dress/grey/black trousers

White blouse/polo shirt

Blue sweatshirt or cardigan with embroidered logo

Grey/black trousers or shorts

White shirt/polo shirt

Blue sweatshirt with embroidered logo

We emphasize the importance for children to wear the appropriate shoes to school. Strong ‘school shoes’ are recommended as they give excellent support when the children are running and playing outside. Slip-on shoes, or those with higher heels than normal, are unsafe and inappropriate.   Shoes must be completely black (no white/coloured stripes/jewels).  Boots which are no higher than ankle-height are allowed.

For P.E. and Games each child will need black shorts, a pale blue polo-shirt embroidered with the school logo (or in winter a track suit), and a pair of plimsolls. Children will be permitted to wear trainers in the winter months if participating in PE outdoors but when inside all children should have a pair of black plimsolls.  These should be kept in a simple draw string bag.

Sweatshirt, cardigans and PE polo shirt are available from Brigade Clothing Ltd. Please visit the link below:

In the episode, "the Opposite" has anyone noticed that the wins/losses that Jerry's friends mention after the poker game, do not equal out to zero?? Can't the writers do simple arithmetic??

Maybe they can do math, but following a poker game is just way, way to painfully boring to pay any attention to.

In fact, Jimmy hates anybody who ever had a poker game when they were growing up (or now).

When Jimmy tells a woman he meets that he doesn't play games, they really don't understand at first. Jimmy means he doesn't "play games" ...from tic-tac-toe, to board games, to cards, quizes, contests, to sports of any kind.

But Jimmy's fine with lying to each another and keeping each other guessing about what the other wants out of a relationship. At least there's a sane reason for that.

Oscar Isaac Says Characters Will Be "Tested Intensely" in Episode VIII

By: Dominic Jones

Oscar Isaac, who played Poe Dameron in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is currently out promoting his next film X-Men: Apocalypse, in which he plays the titular mutant Apocalypse.   While speaking with Entertainment Tonight about X-Men, Isaac dropped a little info on Star Wars Episode VIII, which he is currently filming.

When asked about his role in Episode VIII, Isaac said "Well, I'm around, first of all, which is nice," referencing the fact that Poe was originally going to die early in The Force Awakens, though director JJ Abrams and co-writer Laawrence Kasdan reworked the script to keep the character around.

He also spoke about the larger role Poe would have in the sequel saying, "Poe, he gets to be more a part of the story, and all of the characters in the film, they get tested, intensely.  It's a lot of conflict in it, which is great."

Star Wars Episode VIII hits theaters on December 15th, 2017.

Outdoor Life: Get cranked up for summer bass

Let’s face it.  The long hot summer is in full swing and we aren’t going to catch many bass in the shallows.  Sure they may cruise the flats a little early and late but the bulk of the fish are finding their meals in deeper water whether it be in a reservoir or pond.  You can still catch them but you’ve got to change tactics and crank baits are one of the best bets for this time of year.

Oregon: 2017 Session Adjourns
July 10, 2017

Lawmakers ended the 2017 regular session a few days early on Friday after approving a $5.3 billion infrastructure improvement package, and a measure to raise the legal age for tobacco sales to 21. Legislators also approved a $600 million tax on hospitals and insurers, a measure to allow judges to confiscate firearms from suicidal persons, and legislation that mandates insurance coverage of abortions.

As the session adjourned, lawmakers could not reach an agreement on reforming the revenue structure and the public employees retirement system, as well as the regulation of carbon emissions. Governor Kate Brown (D), who does not possess a pocket veto, has until August 18 to sign or veto legislation that reaches her desk.

Car Wax

All about car wax

Car wax provides your vehicle's exterior with a vital protective layer, but if you're shopping around for auto wax, chances are you've already encountered a confusing and near-endless array of products. Choosing the best car wax is dependent upon many factors, including the age of your vehicle, the condition of its paint, and whether or not your vehicle has a clear coat layer. While it's always best to seek the advice of an auto care professional if you need help selecting a car wax, there are a few basics to keep in mind as you shop which will help guide you to the right products.

Advertising Links for Car Wax

All About Car Wax: Factors to Consider

Here are some of the factors you'll need to consider when shopping for new car wax:

  • Synthetic or natural: While auto wax has traditionally been made with synthetic chemicals, natural-based products are making a comeback. If you have a car that's dark in color, avoid waxes that contain abrasive chemicals.
  • Paste or liquid: Hand-applied paste wax tends to be the favorite of purists, while liquid auto wax can be machine-applied, saving you time and effort.
  • Neutral or colored: You can get neutral car wax, which can be used on vehicles of any color, or colored wax which will fill in and smooth over scratches and dings. However, if you're going to go with colored car wax, be sure to match the wax with your paint perfectly.

How to Wax a Car

While you should always follow the directions provided with your car wax closely, here are some general tips to follow when waxing a car:

  • Only wax a clean car; wash and dry it immediately before waxing.
  • Use a specially designed waxing sponge to apply the wax. The sponge should be damp when you dip it into the wax bottle.
  • Apply the wax to the surface of the vehicle in small circular motions.
  • Work your way over the surface of the vehicle.
  • Use a cloth diaper, clean chamois or clean cheesecloth to wipe away the wax. By the time you've made your way over the entire vehicle, the wax should be ready to wipe off. Work your way over the vehicle in the same order in which you applied the wax.

FinePix XP100

FinePix XP100

Fujifilm FinePix XP100 Preview

The Fujifilm FinePix XP100 is one of three new "lifeproof" cameras in the company's XP-Series, taking its place between the flagship XP150 and the economical XP50. In terms of performance and features, the FinePix XP100 matches the XP150 in almost every way -- including being waterproof down to 33ft (10M), shockproof to 6.5ft (2M), freezeproof to 14 degrees F (-10 degrees C), and dustproof -- and costs $30 less. The only real drawback here would be for someone looking for GPS capabilities; the XP100 has none.

However, all three of Fujifilm's new XP Series cameras now include a high performance 14 Megapixel CMOS sensor, a FUJINON 5x wide angle optical zoom lens (28-140mm) with a water repellent coating, and an all new, high-contrast 2.7" LCD to help see what you're shooting in bright sunlight or underwater.

All three cameras also feature full 1080p HD movie recording modes, 10 frames-per-second burst shooting capabilities in full resolution, and a newly redesigned double locking door to keep all the electronics housed in the rugged, metal uni-body chassis safe from whatever elements you may throw their way. To help with capturing crisp images and smooth video during any adventure, Fujifilm has included sensor shift Dual Image Stabilization (CIS) system as well as in-camera movie editing, Motion Panorama Mode, Face Detection and Automatic Red-eye removal.

When compared to the XP50, the XP100 costs $50 more, but features a longer-lasting Li-ion Rechargeable battery (330 shots vs. 220 shots) and  upgraded waterproof and shockproof ratings (33ft vs. 16.5ft and 6.5ft vs. 5ft, respectfully). Both the XP100 and XP50 are available in a wider range of colors than the XP150 (only black and orange).

Fujifilm FinePix XP100 Features:
  • Waterproof down to 33ft (10M)
  • Shockproof to 6.5ft (2M)
  • Freezeproof to 14 degrees F (-10 degrees C)
  • Dustproof
  • 2.7" anti-reflective LCD monitor
  • 14-megapixel CMOS sensor
  • 10fps burst shooting
  • FUJINON 5x optical zoom lens (28-140mm)
  • Newly Redesigned Double Locking Door
  • 1080p HD Movie recording (30fps)
  • Dual Image Stabilization (CIS) system
  • 360-degree Motion Panorama Mode
  • Scene Recognition Auto (SR AUTO)
  • Face Detection and Automatic Red-eye Removal
  • Movie Editing
  • Blog Mode
  • Li-ion Rechargeable battery capable of 330 shots per charge

THROWBACK THURSDAY: Happy Birthday, Irving!

One hundred and twenty nine years ago today one of America's greatest songwriters was born.

In Russia.

But Israel Isidore Baline didn't stay in Russia long.  When he was five, his family immigrated to the U.S. to escape Russian persecution of Jews.

He didn't stay Israel Isidore Baline for long either, He rose to fame under the name Irving Berlin.

And Irving, who died at the age of 101 in 1989, wrote a ton of songs -- some of the most famous of the Tin Pan Alley era. "God Bless America," "White Christmas," "Easter Parade" (remember, he was Jewish!"), "Puttin' on the Ritz," "There's No Business Like Show Business" ... The list goes on and on.

Here are some of his best known tunes done by a variety of singers. Happy birthday, Irving. We're all richer for the music you left us.

This was Irving's first hit back in 1911, This version is by Bessie Smith in 1927.

Here's a prohibition-era tune about a little island in the Caribbean that became a playground for Americans. It's sung by crooner Billy Murray in 1920,

You say you mainly like songs about sex and Satan? Well, Irving wrote at least one of those. Here's one sung by Harriet Hilliard, who later would be known as Harriet Nelson -- yes, Ozzie's wife and Ricky's mom. This song is from the 1936 movie Follow the Fleet.

Al Jolson sang this Irving hit in The Jazz Singer (1927).

And this Irving song is the best cover Leonard Cohen ever did.

And so am I.  Therefore Wacky Wednesday and Throwback Thursday won't be appearing here this week or next. I have a Terrell...

The children will use the potatoes, spring onions and courgettes to make a vegetable soup with wedges in School. We hope to make more when our other vegetables are ready later in the year.

Well done Class One and a big thank you to Elaine Robinson who helps us to grow vegetables each year.

Strip High Card 1-12-2013

Gemma, Kamilia and Eva are going to try out a game of Strip High Card today. Three lovely players means that we end up with two lovely and naked losers. Better still there’s an embarrassing little forfeit for the losers of this game.

Strip Spin-the-Bottle 21-8-2013

Gemma and Kamilia are bored and wondering what to do when their landlady, Eva, turns up. After she enjoyed their previous game together, she’s keen to play another one. She persuades them to play a game of Strip Spin-the-Bottle with her. Will she beat both girls, or will she end up as one of the naked losers? Whoever loses, they’re going to suffer an embarrassing little forfeit!

Spin-the-Bottle 26-7-2013

After losing their last game, Kamilia (right) wants to play another strip game. Gemma reluctantly agrees to play but the game doesn’t go anything like both girls expected!

Kamilia and Gemma are here to try out a game of Strip High Card. Nice easy game for them to start with, but made all the more exciting with an embarrassing forfeit for the naked loser.

Gemma’s Audition.

Here’s another bonus update. Today’s it’s Gemma’s audition and as usual she has to just stand there and let her landlady Eva, strip her totally naked. Gemma hasn’t appeared on the site for quite a while but her reaction to being stripped nude by an older woman should not be missed.

Fans of videos, don’t worry, the next update will be a video.

• Body of landscape

    Body of landscape
    wroclaw POLAND

    suckerPUNCH: Describe your project.

    przemyslaw KOLODZIEJ: “Stasis is death, the general law of the world. The State – fortress its power, its laws exist in places of intense circulation.”
    —‘Speed and Politics,’ Paul Virilio

    The main purpose of this project is to combine three notions into one spatial object.: speed, perception and landscape.
    Based upon Paul Virilo’s essay Speed and Politics, speed is perceived in two ways: as a causing factor of changes of culture and civilization, and as a issue of (de)urbanization, which prepare ground for new spatial objects (spaces).

    The author analyzes highways as space objects, and defines supraobject (supra – above) as a separate category of space, describing structures attributed to their own space autonomy in relation to their context, and separate jurisdiction accompanying their use, to which the author includes highways as well. Definition of supraobject is developed with a support of the analysis of abstract work from conceptual architecture discourse entitled Continuous monument, issued in 1969 by design group Superstudio, and then the synthesis of those two is made by creating a description of an object named: a body of landscape.

    The author’s idea is to analyze the landscape as human body (seen as a phenomenology perceived of senses, not as an geometrical objects). Phenomenological description of body, sees a landscape as a living form having his own dynamics, facture, temperature, sensuality, etc.

    The author finds that the perception of landscape and any spatial objects, is depended on the speed of moving observer. If the observer moves faster – the perceived details are replaced by the mass of the objects (blurry vision effect). Every subject on the highway is involved to be a part of multiple relations between speed, perception and moving landscape.

    A body of landscape, by author’s definition is a continuous megastructure, fulfilling space paradigms of the supraobject (space continuity, space autonomy, internal jurisdiction defining the way of using). Conclusions were a basis for designing heterotopical space: a hypermall. The object located only in the close context to the highway, became a endless line of an artificial horizon for all subjects using the highway.

    sP: What or who influenced this project?
    pK: Paul Virilio (!), microphotos of tissues, Superstudio, Renato Rizzi.

    sP: What were you reading/listening to/watching while developing this project?
    pK: Reading: Paul Virilio, St. Augustin; Watching: House M. D.; Listening: Bon Iver, Agalloch, Behemoth, City and Colour.

    sP: Whose work is currently on your radar?
    pK: Kokkugia, Biothing, Renato Rizzi.

Buuuu.Fashion Review ♥ Pink Fuzzy Heart and Bunny Sweater ♥

Hey sweethearts!

Today I got an awesome new review for you all. This time it is for a super adorable shop called Buuuu Fashion (with four u's, yep!). It's a Storenvy store which sells unique and absolutely lovely sweaters. For anyone who doesn't know what Storenvy is - it is kinda like eBay, a platform where more or less small indie shops can sell their products. I purchased items from different sellers multiple times, and I've never had any problems. However, Buuuu Fashion was so kind to sponsor me these two adorable sweaters from their spring collection and here are the pictures:

I always appreciate a cute logo! And the bubble is such an wonderful idea, so I'm happy. On the backside of the tag is the washing information, and it says:

"How to wash?
Hand wash cold
Wash with like colours
Remove immediately
Do not use softeners/bleach
Do not tumble dry
Low iron
Iron on reverse side
Do not dry clean"

Okii dokiis, good to know! The housewaifus and husbandos of you will like this information at least xD

Hairy Rabbit Sweatshirt

Size: Freesize
Price: $39.99
Measurements: Length: 60cm, Bust width: 114cm, Sleeve length: 51cm

THIS. IS. JUST. SO. ADORABLE. No seriously, I love this sweater. You really can't believe how soft and fluffy the bunny (and the heart, too!) is, until you touched and felt it on your own. Everytime I wore this sweater I just had to pat my tummy because it was just so fluffy and cute and warm. The rabbit part is a little bit sturdier than the sweater itself, so it doesn't bend and you can always see the bunny perfectly fine! I personally love this a lot because I really don't like when you can't the print really well. The sweater has the perfect length on me in my opinion (I am 1.67m / 5'48" tall), and it is slightly oversized on me. Which is good, sweaters shouldn't sit really tight in my opinion! So I'm happy freesize fits me really well. Now to the quality of the product: It is simply top! But to be honest, $40 isn't really cheap, so I expected some nice quality too. And it really didn't let me down, the price is worth for what you get in my opinion. The fur doesn't shed and I didn't find any single stitch that was misplaced. I think the sweaters will last me for a long time ♥

 Hairy Heart Sweatshirt

Size: Freesize
Price: $39.99
Measurements: Length: 60cm, Bust width: 113cm, Sleeve Length: 44cm

This is the ultimative fluffiness, I love how much fluffy fluff fur they used for this design. The sleeves have a whole different design from the bunny sweater though, which makes them super oversized and kinda like batwing sleeves. I personally don't like these not sooo much, but they're okay! I think this really just depends on personal preference, because you can create some super cool looks with them. But to fit my style more, I simply pulled the sleeves up and that's it :> But you can see the whole process in the following pictures anyways! But other than that, everything is the same as with the bunny sweater. The color is super sweet, the quality is genuinely fantastic and aahhh I just can't mention enough how soft and fluffy the fur is... *drifts into a dream world*

Okay sweeties, I really hope you enjoyed this review as much as I did! I didn't do any review for such kawaii fashion in such a long time, it was a lot of fun to do it again. And the stuff just looks so super cute, I really love it >v< What do you think? If you have questions or any concerns, you can always leave me a question! Fastest replies are via my Instagram (@sugar.mew) though, since I am on there daily.
I hope you have a wonderful day!

Asus ROG GL502VS-DB71 15.6″ Full ¬HD Gaming Laptop Review

If you want a laptop that fits your needs as well as your budget, nothing can be a better choice for you than Asus. This is so because Asus provides a variety of products that contain a broad assortment of features at affordable prices. Moreover, its products are reliable and durable and give excellent value for your hard-earned money. That’s why we are reviewing here one of the finest products of Asus, the ROG GL502VS- DB71. If you want to see other reviews of this laptop see thetechinsiders gaming laptop review.

The chassis of the ROG GL502VS is pretty similar to the previous Asus laptops. The lid is made of aluminum and the base is encased in a plastic cover, and both of the components have a brushed metal finish. However, the metal finish makes the body vulnerable to fingerprints. The top is thin and doesn’t look sturdy, even though it’s made of aluminum, and sudden movements may result in minimal bounce of the display.

Apart from that, the overall build quality is excellent. The laptop contains no uneven gaps or protruding edges. The base might slightly bend when you twist it or put pressure on it. It also possesses red accents on its lid along with the Republic of Gamers logo. Its size is also compact, and the device is portable. It is 0.9 inches high, 15.4 inches wide, and 10.5 inches deep and only weighs 4.9 pounds. It comes with a generous 15.6-inch display that has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, which is ideal for gaming as well as for performing other tasks.

The Asus ROG GL502VS comes with almost all necessary ports, except for Thunderbolt 3. The connectivity features include an HDMI 2.0 port, DisplayPort, and three USB 3.0 ports. For a faster transfer of data, it also contains USB Type-C port with support for USB 3.1 Gen2. Moreover, it comes with an audio port that is basically a combined jack, so it doesn’t support the conventional headset.

The performance of the Asus ROG GL502VS is brilliant. It offers a Full HD gaming experience to users and provides them with a crisp, bright, and vibrant display. The image quality exhibited by this laptop is very sharp, and colors are vivid as it comes with the latest Nvidia GeForce GTX1070 GPU with G-Sync. Moreover, it has decent gaming-specific design features. The structure quality is also above average. The lid might seem wobbly, but the construction is sturdy.

Also, the keyboard keys are soft and smooth for everyday use. However, the keyboard might look a bit small for a good-sized laptop, yet the keys have proper traveling distance. The only issue that most people face in such type of laptops is poor battery life and unfortunately, the Asus ROG GL502VS suffers from the same issue. Apart from that, its general performance is excellent and users will surely love the gaming experience this laptop offers.

  • Provides Full HD gaming experience
  • Clear, sharp, and vibrant screen
  • Well-built
  • Plenty of storage
  • Powerful built-in speakers

  • Mediocre battery life
  • Slightly smaller keyboard size
  • Wobbly lid

Thomas J. Story

The West’s sweetest citrus might just be from a tree in your own backyard

And you thought being a federal bureaucrat was boring. Frank Meyer was a "plant explorer" for the U.S. Department of Agriculture when he arrived in China in 1905. After battling heat, cold, and at least one assassin, he was traveling near Beijing when he encountered a dwarf lemon tree he shipped back to America.

Meyer’s life was short: He drowned, mysteriously, on a return expedition to China. But his namesake tree won immortality. California growers deemed the lemons too soft for commercial use, but home gardeners fell in love with the Meyer’s nearly year-round bounty, cooks with its sweet, orange-accented flavor.

For decades the Meyer was a Western gardening secret, but now Meyer sorbets and soufflés star on menus in Manhattan and Miami, and a few growers in California’s Central Valley are planting orchards (albeit only acres at a time) to meet rising demand. Still, if you live anywhere the winters aren’t frosty, the best Meyer lemons will be the ones you grow in your backyard.

Let life give you lemons

Many nurseries stock Meyer lemon trees. Or order one from Four Winds Growers or Menlo Growers.

How Does Super Genes Work?

We Take The Guess Work Out Of Your Health.

By analyzing a small sample of blood, we can spot deficiencies that may be affecting your health.

How's This Different Than When I Get Tested By My Doctor?

We take the data generated by your blood sample and employ sophisticated software to analyze that data, allowing us to determine a general state of health.  Our doctors, trained in the most advanced Functional Medicine, will review results and discuss them with you.

Most medical doctors look for disease and attempt to stop it once it has already begun. Our testing, on the other hand, goes much deeper, and our analysis software is designed to prevent future disease and maximize your current state of health.

Okay, So What Do The Test Results Really Tell Me?

Some people are tired every day. Others may experience hair loss, while many have trouble losing weight. Our testing can pinpoint the root cause or causes of many conditions ranging from A to Z. Our analysis may uncover something as simple as a gluten intolerance or even point to why a person may be having fertility issues. Your very life blood carries the clues to these and many more conditions. Our testing represents the gold-standard for identifying, predicting and preventing chronic disease in the human body.

Why Is This Becoming So Popular?

We certainly aren't the only doctors doing this testing. However, many others are charging thousands of dollars for this analysis and to work with you to identify and resolve your health concerns. We believe that every person has the right to a professional blood chemistry analysis at a much more modest cost.

How Much Does It Cost?

Our analysis is only $97. This gives you a full report along with an explanation from one of our doctors.  Lab testing fees, at your end, will vary depending on many factors such as your insurance coverage. Special pricing is available for people without insurance. Ask the doctor for details.

What Is My Next Step?

Let's schedule a free consultation by clicking the SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT link at the top of the page.

Below, are the 3 easy steps to getting you on your way to better health.

(1) Schedule Your Initial Consult

Book Consult

Pick a time to talk to one of our doctors.

(2) Our doctor recommends your specific test and contacts your lab on your behalf.

Test orders vary from person to person based on your particular history and symptoms.

SN's Annual Top 75 List Shows Big Industry Moves

SN's Annual Top 75 List Shows Big Industry Moves

If we were to rank the annual supplements published in SN according to those that attract the most interest when issued, and for months following, high on that roster would be SN's Top 75 supplement.

Luckily, this is the week the supplement issues, and you'll find it against Page 18. The Top 75 supplement generates much interest because it's little less than a state-of-the-industry report in tabular form. The tables list industry players in order of top-line revenue, which offers a way to assess quickly who's up and who's down in the food distribution industry. The tables are also backed by a couple of pages of narrative that help explain what they mean. The annual supplement, issued to coincide with the Food Marketing Institute's Midwinter Executive Conference now meeting in Scottsdale, Ariz., was prepared by SN's Elliot Zwiebach.

As usual, this year's list contains several changes from the previous year's list, changes that account for mergers and rising or falling company performances. Let's take a look at some of the changes you'll see in the supplement.

The change highest on this year's list is the one that finds Safeway swapping positions with Supervalu, as compared to last year's list. Supervalu, fueled by its integration of the 2006 acquisition of Albertsons, replaced Safeway as the nation's fourth-largest operator. Safeway became the fifth largest. Similarly, Publix Super Markets moved up to the seventh slot on the list, from eighth, displacing Ahold to eighth place. Publix rose on the strength of 40 store openings. Ahold dropped because of continued asset sales, most recently Tops Markets.

Three names vanished from this year's list because of merger activity. Gone this year are Pathmark, sold to A&P; Wild Oats Markets, sold to Whole Foods; and Associated Grocers, Seattle, sold to Unified Grocers. Those changes put in motion other rearrangements, such as A&P's lift to No. 17 this year, from No. 21, and Unified's leap to 32, from 39. Whole Foods rose one notch, to No. 22. Another move related to Whole Foods involved Smart & Final, which rose one slot to No. 49. Whole Foods spun off 36 stores it acquired to Smart & Final.

Three names joined the list this year, filling the three vacancies. Tops appeared on the list at No. 54; owing to Ahold's divestiture, Tops became a separate company for the first time in many years. Fareway Stores and Piggly Wiggly Carolina Co. joined too at Nos. 73 and 74, respectively.

Finally, several companies moved on the list because of internal growth instead of for asset-sale reasons. That was the case with these companies, each of which moved up four places: Trader Joe's, to No. 23, because of a new-store program. Wegmans, to No. 30, because of revenue gains and some new-store activity. Ingles Markets, to No. 40, because of gains captured with an identical store count.

Don't miss the Top 75 list.

Don't Give a Witch

Dylan Apel is at it again…

When the Magical Abilities contest is announced, Dylan couldn't give a flip about entering. But when she discovers the prize is the coveted Never Forget, a spell that makes you immune to mind erasing, she's all in.

That is, until the potion is stolen. Now, she's on lockdown in Castle Witch with a thief on the loose. But, lucky for her, the witching elite has also arrived, and Dylan's convinced one of them is the Master, an elusive criminal who she believes committed a heinous murder twenty years ago. All Dylan has to do is slip a magical ring on the right person's finger, and she's got her killer.

But when the ring is stolen, Dylan's not sure who to trust. Things get worse when her boyfriend is arrested for a theft he didn't commit, a close friend can't remember important details, and Dylan herself is accused of cheating in the contest. Before things get any worse, Dylan must find a thief and a murderer—before she becomes the next victim of the Master.

An arm snaked around my waist. My breath caught in my throat.

“It’s been too long since I’ve smelled your hair,” came the gruff voice over my shoulder.

I narrowed my eyes. “I didn’t know you had a hair fetish. That’s totally weird.”

Hot breath parted my locks like fingers. “You’ve got a knack for ruining romantic moments. Did anyone ever tell you that?”

I giggled. “Anyone ever tell you that telling a girl it’s been too long since you smelled her hair is weird?”

Roman spun me around. I pitched forward only to be caught by muscular arms as soon as made of iron as they were of flesh and blood.

“Hold on there. Don’t fall over.”

I straightened. Sea-green eyes met my poo-brown ones. Yes, they were poo brown.

Blond hair grazed the top of his shoulders. I wove my fingers through the ends, pretending to be getting out a bit of lint or something, but really I just wanted to touch his hair.

He wrapped me in a quick hug. “You do smell good.”

“I try.”

We parted and he smiled at me. A goopy look filled his gaze. I bit down on the lopsided grin I knew was stitched on my own face.

“So,” I said. “Fancy meeting you here.”

Roman pocketed his hands. “You come to weddings often?”

“All the time.”

“I bet you go to pick up men.”

I rocked back on one heel. “Am I that obvious?”

Roman leaned on one hip, studying me. He rubbed his chin. “You’re not that obvious. It’s more of a sense I get from you.”

I quirked a brow. “Oh?”

“You seem like the type who goes to weddings, picks one guy, dances with him all night. It’s just long enough for that guy to fall a little bit in love with you. Then you dump him.”

My jaw fell. “That’s horrible. Why would someone do that?”

Roman shook his head. “Ever heard of a black widow?”

I rolled my eyes. “You’re terrible. I’m not a black widow. If anything, you’re a dark assassin.”

It was time for Roman to do some major eye rolling. Which he did. Which didn’t surprise me. “Right. Listen, how about you agree that I’m right and we do some dancing?”

I folded my arms over my chest. “Is that the proper way to ask a lady to dance?”

In a flourish of testosterone, Roman dropped to one knee and extended his hand to me. “My lady, would you care to dance with this poor soul?”

I nearly busted my gut laughing. Tears blurred my vision as I said, “Yes.”

Roman guided me out past the chairs. The quartet strings thrummed as he twirled me into the space. Others quickly joined and the post wedding fun kicked into high gear.

I have to tell you, those of us who weren’t centaurs had to make a lot of room for them.

Laughter buzzed in the air as the romance of the wedding took hold of us. Roman and I fell into a smooth rhythm, my head on his shoulder, his arms wrapped around me protectively. There was no place else I would rather have been.

A crack of light splintered into the center of the dance floor. People screamed. Others leaped back. Roman pushed me behind him, shielding me with his body.

My heart hammered against my ribs. Heat rose in my chest, rippling up my neck. I peered over Roman’s shoulder.

A man stood in the center. He wore an ebony cape with lapels starched up to his eyebrows. His amber hair was slicked back and he had a deep widow’s peak that plunged down his forehead.

He clapped his hands. “Greetings, everyone!”

The air stilled. The looks of shock on people’s faces quickly changed to confusion.

The man’s gaze washed over the crowd. He studied the gathering as if analyzing us in bits and pieces. He clapped his hands again. “I’ve come with good tidings to the happy couple.”

From his seat at the wedding table, Pearbottom gave a stiff nod. Eliza clutched his hand, her knuckles stretched to white.

I was surprised that neither Pearbottom or Roman had moved on this guy. The small bit of analytical brain I had quickly realized they didn’t consider him to be a threat. That one notion made me relax a tiny bit, the muscles in my neck and shoulders unknotting.

The man flashed a brilliant smile. “This year’s Magical Abilities contest is open for submissions. The grand prize is a vial of Never Forget.” His eyes swept across us once more, landing on me. His piercing gaze made my stomach knot. Maybe it was the cape, but I felt kinda creeped out by him.

The man raised his hands. “You may enter the contest,” he brought his watch to eye level and said, “starting now!”

A puff of gray smoke billowed up around him. The smoke took on lines, becoming sharper at the edges, more delineated until small circles broke off from the edges. These orbs of gas transformed into doves. Their wings fluttered as they rose high into the sky before disappearing.

A shimmering picture remained where the caped wizard had been standing. A halved roman column sat squat on the ground. Resting on it was a small, golden trophy. A halo shot out around it. After a few seconds the picture faded away, revealing a red banner with yellow script.

From all around me, the wedding crowd released a collective breath.

Roman turned. “You okay?”

I dragged my gaze from the banner. Energy still bubbled in my stomach from where the wizard had stared right through me.

“Hmm?” I said. I shook my head. “Yeah. I’m fine. Wow. That was totally weird. What was that all about?”

“I’ll tell you what it was about, toots.”

I glanced over and saw my paternal grandmother, Milly Jones, caning up to us. She’d dressed up for the occasion. Oh, she still wore black orthopedic shoes, beige support hose, a dark skirt and a shapeless cardigan. But this sweater had sequins!

“Milly, you’ve out done yourself,” I said.

A loud snort jutted from her gnarled hook nose. “I spare no expense when it comes to weddings. What can I say? I love seeing people get married. The only thing better than that is playing with babies,” she said flatly.

I really didn’t know if she was being serious or not. Milly loving babies? That was kind of like an alligator liking small deer.

Not that Milly was going to eat said children. She didn’t do that. Of course not. But she just didn’t strike me as the type to love playing with sweet, cooing babies.

I’d been known to be wrong before, though. It could happen again.

Milly eyed Roman like a pirate eyed treasure—with a glint. The only thing she was missing would have been a metal hand and maybe a gold tooth.

“Roman, it’s good to see you.”

“Good to see you, Milly.”

She studied the magical banner. People were milling about, taking their places once again on the dance floor.

“So I missed the announcement,” she said.

I pulled a tissue from my clutch purse and dabbed a splotch of sweat from my neck. “Where were you?”

“Bathroom.” She drifted toward the banner. “So it’s time again, huh? Time for the contest.”

I shrugged. “Looks like.”

Her neck snapped back to me. “You know you need to enter.”

I dropped the tissue. I shot her a panicked gaze. “Me? Why me? Why do I need to enter?”

She thumbed her nose. “All of you do. You and your sisters.”

“Why do we have to enter?”

Milly’s lips coiled into a serpentine smile. “So that you can win the Never Forget spell.”

I frowned. “Why would I need that?”

Her eyes dragged across the pavilion until they landed in my grandmother Hazel’s direction. “You need the spell,” she said slowly, “so that you can start remembering.”

Confusion fogged my brain. “Remembering what?”

Milly glanced back at me, her eyes stony cold as she said, “Everything your other grandmother makes you forget.”

Charity car auction organisers overwhelmed by generosity of the motor trade

Cars at last year's auction
Cars at last year's auction

Chestnut Tree House and Shoreham Vehicle Auctions have been overwhelmed by the generosity of the south coast motor trade and individual donors ahead of its charity auction on Monday 21st November.

Dealerships across Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire have exceeded their incredible support from last year’s auction, with Yeomans Group, Frosts, Tates, Caffyns Volkswagen, Newton Honda, Dinnages, H.A. Fox, Peter Cooper Group and Harwoods all generously donating to the cause in a bid to better the 2015 total of £14,000 raised on the night.

A scene from last year's auction

With just under a week to go until the sixth annual auction in aid of the Arundel-based children’s hospice, Shoreham has received a plethora of donations, including dealership part-exchanges, signed sporting memorabilia and tickets for Premiership Rugby, Championship football, horse racing and T20 cricket, as well as a Land Rover and Jaguar F-Pace for a weekend.

A round of golf for four at local courses, a London lunch for two, a free MOT and interim service and alloy wheel refurbishment will also be going under the hammer on the night.

The only hospice of its kind in East and West Sussex and South East Hampshire, Chestnut Tree House cares for 300 children and young adults with progressive life-limiting conditions. The charity’s goal is to provide the best quality of life for children, young people and their families with crucial support.

As annual service charges exceed £3m, the hospice relies heavily on donations, which will also be used to fund community nurses in the local and surrounding areas, allowing children to receive around-the-clock care at the hospice or at home.

In what’s expected to be another fantastic night, Shoreham’s annual charity sale is always a favourite for buyers, as the south coast auctioneers aim to maximise funds for an incredibly worthy cause.

“The response we’ve had from the local community, and dealerships further afield has been incredible. I can’t thank all of our customers enough for their generosity in donating some fantastic lots, which we’re sure will be snapped up quickly on the night,” commented Catherine Stone, Business Development Manager at Shoreham.

“Every member of the Shoreham team is passionate about raising as much as possible for such a worthy cause and we can’t wait to see what the final total will be,” she added.

A glass display at the Museum of Liverpool containing John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1969 peace protest bedspread, lit by Sutton Vane Associates.

Six Sutton Vane Associates projects have been short-listed for the Lighting Design Awards, 2013. They are the London 2012 Park and Public Realm Lighting Strategy (Exterior); Titanic Belfast (International, Exterior); the Museum of Liverpool (Public Buildings); Gosforth Parish Church (Low Carbon) and two special projects: the Bournemouth Arts by the Sea Light Trail and Ravenscourt Baptist Church Hall.

London 2012 Public Realm Lighting Strategy moves to next stage

Sutton Vane Associates’ lighting strategy and the design of the iconic Memory Masts have put the London 2012 Olympic Park Landscape and Public Realm (PPR) in contention for a Lighting Design Award. The practice’s involvement began in 2008 and the strategy will continue to shape the lighting in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park after the Games’ legacy phase begins in 2014.

Titanic, Belfast: lighting provides narrative

The visitor experience at Titanic Belfast begins as the iconic building comes into view. In addition to lighting all the public areas inside the museum, Sutton Vane Associates also meticulously lit the facade and plaza. This involved focusing light on to individual facets of the facade to create a dramatic effect while skillfully avoiding light pollution and reflecting light on to the plaza.

Museum of Liverpool: scale and daylight present a challenge

The Museum of Liverpool is the largest newly-built national museum in the UK for more than 100 years. The design of the building and constraints imposed by the base build meant that lighting its vast exhibition spaces presented the team led by Mark Sutton Vane with a variety of challenges. However, daylighting studies enabled the team to develop a lighting scheme that took the architecture fully into account and is adaptable, efficient and more than able to cope with the demands of a museum of this scale. The solution includes an array of more than 1,000 specially adapted, track-mounted spotlights, lighting controls and replica fittings.

Ravenscourt Baptist Church Hall made more versatile

Sutton Vane Associates’ scheme for Ravenscourt Baptist Church Hall has been shortlisted as special project. Mark Sutton Vane’s innovative design has created a flexible and low-cost lighting system that enables the space to be used for a wide range of social uses.

Light Trail opens festival

Sutton Vane Associates devised a Light Trail – a series of installations for visitors to discover and interact with around town – to open the Bournemouth Arts by the Sea Festival, the second annual month-long mutli-arts event, which started in September. The Light Trail was an engaging and thought-provoking set of ‘light interventions’ developed for specific locations.

Gosforth Parish Church seen in a new eco-friendly light

Gosforth Parish Church has been comprehensively re-lit, replacing inadequate and inefficient lighting with a low-maintenance scheme that is easily controlled and sympathetic with the architecture and heritage of the building.

The Lighting Design Awards 2013 take place on 27 March at the London Hilton Park Lane Hotel.

Information about The Others from CMON Expo 2015

By Polar_Bear
In Board Games
Jun 20th, 2015

Terror. Corruption. Redemption.
Those are the themes of The Others, the new game from Guillotine Games and Studio McVey. We’ve been seeing some pretty sweet-looking models (one of which we did an unboxing for last year), but now it’s time to get some real information about the game. We had such a chance here at the CMON Expo during The Others panel that just wrapped up.

Eric Lang, the designer of the game, described it at the biggest game he’s worked on. In it, one person plays as the Sin, and the others are hero players who are part of F.A.I.T.H. (the Federal Authority for the Interdiction of Transdimensional Horrors). It’s a sort of pre-apocalypse genre. The end of the world hasn’t happened… yet, and it’s the hero players’ job to make sure it doesn’t happen.

The game will always have 7 hero characters in it, no matter how many players there actually are. They are encouraged to work together to overcome tasks. In fact, if they don’t work together, it’s almost a guarantee that they will fail. The game ends in defeat for them if all 7 heroes die or become fully corrupted. All of the hero’s information is open, anyone can look at it. It’s only the Sin player who knows things that the heroes won’t.

The antagonist miniatures are based on the 7 Deadly Sins. All of those factions play very differently. For example, Pride gets extra dice when fighting against heroes that are separated from the group, while Lust is the opposite, getting bonuses when heroes are grouped together. All of them have various sets of minions and abominations as part of their ghoulish arsenal. As for the heroes, they are assigned to protect the city. The characters fill various archetypes, such as leader, bruiser, fixer, and sniper.

The game uses special customized dice for combat. Both the Sin and the heroes have different ones. For example, the Sin’s dice have symbols that mean attack, defend, corrupt, and critical (along with miss, but just don’t roll those). There’s an exploding dice mechanic as well. So if you roll a critical, it counts as both a hit and adds and extra die to your roll. So there’s the potential for some pretty spectacular things to happen if the rolls go just right (or wrong, depending on what side of the board you’re on).

Helping you keep track of things is the Hero Sheet. There’s one track for your character’s corruption and the one below it for health. There are various ways for them to gain corruption, but one is by choice. A player can choose to have their corruption go up by one. If they do, they’ll get a bonus that’s shown on the health track below. But it’s not just the one bonus, they’ll get each previous bonus on the health track as well. Pretty powerful, but you must be careful because that bonus is based on a character’s health. So as they take damage, the bonus from gaining corruption goes down. And when a character is at maximum corruption and must gain more, it goes straight to their health. Also, Sin players can give out corruption cards. None of them are ever good to have. They can do things such as deal more damage, kill the character, or even turn the hero into a minion of Sin.

When setting up, players pick a Story Board. This is like the scenario for the game. One player is the Mission Leader who chooses how the heroes go about the scenario. Each Story Board has branches that players choose from while advancing through scenario. In this way, there’s extra variety to your games. Also, since the Sin player can pick any Sin to use (and as we’ve mentioned, Sins play very differently from one-another), each Story Board can end up going a variety of different ways during the game.

Like the Hero Boards, there’s the Apocalypse Track for the Sin player. These are related to the Story Board and give various effects for the Sin player, including the amount of dice they get to roll in certain situations, the number of monsters available, and other bonuses and effects the Sin player can use during the game.

The Others uses modular tiles to build the game board. They’re comparable to the Zombicide boards for anyone familiar with how those tiles work. Tiles can provide players with various actions that can be performed while on that board. For example, the City Hall lets the players gain resources, while the Church may help get rid of Corruption.

A Kickstarter campaign for The Others is in the works, with a most-likely launch date being sometime in September. Obviously, Zombicide is rolling right now, and Guillotine is going to give people a bit of a breather in-between that one and The Others, but the plan is to have the campaign running by the end of the year. There will be exclusive content for Kickstarter backers, as is usual for a CMON campaign.

 Motech secures five-year silicon supply - Taipei Times

Motech secures five-year silicon supply

Taiwan's biggest solar cell maker, Motech Industries Inc (茂迪), yesterday said it had inked an NT$10 billion (US$305 million) contract with Renewable Energy Corp to secure supplies of silicon wafers for the next five years amid an ongoing shortage of the key material.

"With the contract, Motech will have a sufficient supply of silicon wafers [to cope with its capacity expansion]," Motech said in a filing to the Taiwan Stock Exchange yesterday after the market closed.

The Norwegian Renewable Energy Corp is the world's No.3 supplier of silicon wafers.

The new deal was announced by Motech after the company ended its five-year agreement with the world's biggest silicon wafer supplier, MEMC Electronic Materials Inc, early last month.

In mid-July, Motech signed an agreement with Chinese ReneSola Co (浙江昱輝) to supply it with silicon wafers over the next three years.

After ending the deal with MEMC, Motech cut its output target for the year by 45 percent to 110 megawatts from the 200 megawatts it had originally planned. But the adjusted output would still represent an 83 percent increase from the 60 megawatts made last year, the Taiwanese company said.

Motech said it aimed to further boost its annual capacity to 240 megawatts by next year.

Shares of Motech dropped 2.59 percent to NT$715 on the GRETAI Securities Market yesterday.

Bayern claim title in record time

JOB DONE:There was some singing and dancing in Frankfurt, but no big party, as Bayern are focusing on their Champions League clash with Juventus on Wednesday

Reuters, BERLIN

Bayern Munich players throw their head coach Jupp Heynckes into the air in celebration after winning the Bundesliga title by beating Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 at the Commerzbank Arena in Frankfurt, Germany, on Saturday.

Bayern Munich won their 23rd German league title in record time on Saturday by winning 1-0 at Eintracht Frankfurt to open up an unassailable 20-point lead with six games remaining.

The Bavarians ended the two-year reign of Borussia Dortmund by clinching a 22nd Bundesliga title faster than any club in the league’s 50-year history.

Bastian Schweinsteiger flicked the ball into the net with a neat back-heel in the 52nd minute to lift Bayern to 75 points ahead of second-placed Dortmund, who beat Augsburg 4-2.

“It’s a fantastic moment and I’m winning a league title after 23 years again,” said coach Jupp Heynckes, who guided Bayern to the championship in 1988-1989 and 1989-1990 during his first stint as coach.

“I have won a few championships in my time as player and coach, but never when it was still that cold,” he said of the fastest title win in Bundesliga history. “My players are now harvesting all the work they put in throughout the year. They put into action exactly what I told them.”

Heynckes will make way for Spaniard Pep Guardiola at the end of the season, by which time Bayern, who are chasing an unprecedented treble for a German club, might have added the UEFA Champions League and DFB Pokal trophies.

Fresh from a 2-0 Champions League quarter-final, first-leg victory at home to Juventus, Bayern should have taken the lead much earlier against Frankfurt, with Xherdan Shaqiri rattling the post with a low shot in the 10th minute.

David Alaba missed a penalty by firing against the same spot 15 minutes later as the visitors showed some nervousness, but Germany international Schweinsteiger made sure of their 11th straight league win this year with his seventh goal of the campaign, turning in a superb Philipp Lahm cross after the fullback’s burst down the right wing.

Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer needed to come to the rescue late in the game as sixth-placed Frankfurt, battling for a Champions League spot, poured forward.

“You feel that this team wants more,” club boss Uli Hoeness said. “Now we want to win the Champions League and the DFB Pokal [German Cup]. There will be time to celebrate at some point.”

There was some singing and dancing on the pitch in Frankfurt, but no big title party in Munich, as Bayern are focusing on the second leg at Juventus this week.

“We really wanted to win this and get the title out of the way,” Bayern captain Lahm said. “There will be one or two beers that will be opened on the way back tonight, but we now want to focus on Juventus. It [the season] is not finished yet.”

Bayern’s 23rd league title covers their 22 Bundesliga crowns and a German national championship trophy in 1932.

Dortmund rested seven key players ahead of their own Champions League quarter-final, second-leg at home to Malaga this week, but had little trouble easing past Augsburg, despite briefly trailing 2-1.

Bundesliga top scorer Robert Lewandowski sealed their victory with his 21st goal of the campaign in stoppage-time after a Julian Schieber brace.

Fourth-placed Schalke 04 boosted their hopes of a Champions League place next season by beating Werder Bremen 2-0 away with goals from Julian Draxler and Ciprian Marica to reach 45 points, four behind Bayer 04 Leverkusen who drew 1-1 at home with VfL Wolfsburg.

Hamburg SV failed to bounce back after the previous weekend’s 9-2 demolition by Bayern as they slumped to a 1-0 home defeat by SC Freiburg, who also twice hit the woodwork, piling more pressure on coach Thorsten Fink.

 Tsai vows to monitor cross-strait policy if elected - Taipei Times

Tsai vows to monitor cross-strait policy if elected

By Shih Hsiu-Chuan  /  STAFF REPORTER

Former vice premier Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) vowed to closely monitor the incoming Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) administration’s handling of cross-strait policies if she were to win the contest to lead the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).

The KMT might be too “radical” in enhancing ties between Taiwan and China in the hope of delivering on its economic promises and that would cause permanent damage to the nation, Tsai said during a radio interview yesterday.

“It’s unlikely that Taiwan will be ‘sold out,’ but it’s a worry that the country’s sovereignty may be sacrificed to economic development or other purposes,” the former chairwoman of the Mainland Affairs Council said.

Enhancing cross-strait ties is listed in Tsai’s 12-point election platform, but Tsai said that defending Taiwan’s sovereignty should be an uncompromising premise.

In the run-up to chairmanship election on May 18, Tsai and her two rivals — former senior presidential advisor Koo Kwang-ming (辜寬敏) and DPP Legislator Chai Trong-rong (蔡同榮) — yesterday picked up the pace in canvassing support.

Yesterday Chen Shih-meng (陳師孟), former secretary-general of the Presidential Office, said Tsai should team up with Koo as his deputy. Chai yesterday also invited Tsai to be his deputy if he were to win.

Chen made his suggestion to DPP Chairman Frank Hsieh (謝長廷) during their private meeting yesterday. Hwang Kun-hu (黃崑虎) of Tsai’s camp also attended.

“Both Chen and Hwang said that they supported Koo being chairman and Tsai being his deputy and Chai would consider dropping out of the race in that case,” Hsieh said.

Hsieh added that the meeting was unbinding as it was not a formal meeting.

“We haven’t worked out a proposal to coordinate a candidate to be the [next] chairman,” Hsieh said.

Some of the DPP’s younger members, however, were not in favor of the proposal and Tsai was warmly welcomed when she visited the party’s legislative caucus convention to drum up support.

 US wants Uganda's AIDS model - Taipei Times

US wants Uganda's AIDS model

PANDEMIC CONTAINED The East African country managed to stem its once spiraling rate of HIV infection by stressing behavioral changes, monogamy and condom use

US President George W. Bush wants Uganda's journey out of the dark scourge of AIDS to serve as a model for his US$15 billion global initiative to contain the pandemic.

Bush was to meet yesteray with President Yoweri Museveni and tour an AIDS clinic in Uganda, the fourth stop on his five-nation tour of the region of the world most seriously affected by AIDS. His trip ends today in Nigeria.

Uganda is a model for stemming its once spiraling rate of HIV infection. It stands in sharp contrast to Botswana -- another stop on Bush's African journey -- which is struggling with the world's highest HIV infection rate.

Bush's five-year AIDS plan is modeled after a program in Uganda, which stresses abstinence, monogamy and condom use.

Bush spent several hours Thursday in Botswana where almost four of 10 adults carry the AIDS virus.

The country recently launched a public program to give free AIDS drugs and treatment to anyone who needs them, a first-of-its-kind effort in Africa.

"The people of this nation have the courage and the resolve to defeat this disease and you will have a partner in the US," Bush said to applause Thursday before lunch with Botswana's President Festus Mogae.

Uganda has managed to put the brakes on a rising HIV infection rate that had decimated the country in the 1980s and 1990s. About 1 million Ugandans are infected, out of a total population of 24 million.

A massive public education campaign helped drop the infection rate to about 5 percent. Condom use is widespread, the average age of first sexual contact has been raised and the average number of sexual partners has been reduced.

The government's latest awareness campaign promotes the ``A,B,C,D'' of HIV -- "abstain," change "behavior," use "condoms," or "die."

"We made it our highest priority to convince our people to return to their traditional values of chastity and faithfulness or, failing that, to use condoms," Museveni told drug company executives at a meeting in Washington last month.

"The alternative was decimation," he said.

Prevention is affordable but drugs to treat the infected are not. They cost about US$26 a month, while Uganda spends about US$3.50 on health care per citizen annually.

Bush's US$15 billion AIDS plan would target prevention and treatment assistance to a total of 14 hard-hit countries -- two in the Caribbean and a dozen in Africa.

In Washington on Thursday, a House panel has approved only two-thirds of the US$3 billion it had authorized for the first year of Bush's battle plan for global AIDS.

US Secretary of State Colin Powell told reporters in Pretoria on Thursday that the administration will be aggressive in making sure that whatever amounts of money Congress appropriates for Bush's AIDS proposal goes for "worthwhile programs that deal with education, deal with teaching young people to abstain, be faithful [and] use contraceptives."

 Man pleads `guilty' in 911 plot - Taipei Times

Man pleads `guilty' in 911 plot

`FIGHT EVERY INCH' A Moroccan charged with four counts of conspiring to commit terrorism changed his plea but says nothing he signed makes him `specifically guilty'

With the first US conviction from a Sept. 11 case in hand, federal prosecutors face a new battle over whether Zacarias Moussaoui should receive the death penalty.

Although he pleaded guilty as expected Friday, Moussaoui told US District Judge Leonie Brinkema, "I will fight every inch against the death penalty." Just last week, he had told her he would plead for execution.

That was among several surprises as the defendant voluntarily admitted his guilt on six counts of conspiring with al-Qaeda leaders and the Sept. 11 hijackers to wreak havoc on Americans. Four counts carry a possible death penalty.

Moussaoui also declared for the first time in public that Osama bin Laden personally instructed him to fly an airliner into the White House. The target date was not clear.

Over the objection of his lawyers, Moussaoui admitted guilt as he appeared in a courtroom a few miles from where one of four hijacked planes crashed into the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001. The others crashed into New York's World Trade Center towers and a Pennsylvania field, taking nearly 3,000 lives.

After Brinkema accepted Moussaoui's pleas, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales told a news conference that prosecutors will seek death for him.

But the nearly hourlong court proceeding made clear that would produce a legal battle.

Moussaoui attributed his reversal to a conversation with Brinkema this week that he said gave him a clearer understanding of his rights.

Brinkema carefully pointed out to Moussaoui in court that his guilty pleas did not waive his right to continue fighting to obtain potentially mitigating evidence from three top al-Qaeda leaders in US custody. Moussaoui said he was prepared to go back to the Supreme Court for access to those prisoners, although the high court earlier declined to overturn a plan to give him just unclassified summaries of what the trio has said.

This new struggle by the 36-year-old French citizen of Moroccan descent could ignite protests in Europe, where the death penalty has less support and most countries forbid it.

Unshackled and wearing a green prison jumpsuit, Moussaoui told the judge he had not been promised a lighter sentence. "I don't expect any leniency from the Americans," he said.

Moussaoui admitted to conspiring with 19 hijackers and al-Qaeda leaders in a broad plot to kill Americans using commercial airliners as weapons. The overall conspiracy included the Sept. 11 attacks.

In a "statement of facts" compiled by prosecutors and signed in court by Moussaoui, he acknowledged knowing about the plot to fly planes into prominent US buildings, then lying to federal agents after his arrest in August 2001 to avoid exposing the plot.

But Moussaoui hinted at a possible death penalty defense as he tried to distance himself from the specific events of Sept. 11. He told the court that nothing in the statement he signed declared he was "specifically guilty of 9/11."

Moussaoui was arrested in August 2001 for overstaying his visa after drawing suspicion at a Minnesota flight school because he wanted to learn to fly a Boeing 747 even though he had no pilot's license. He was behind bars on September 11.

 New Delhi's foreign minister to visit Pakistan on Jan. 13 - Taipei Times

New Delhi's foreign minister to visit Pakistan on Jan. 13

India's foreign minister will visit Pakistan on Jan. 13 in a bid to invigorate their peace process and to invite Pakistani leaders for a South Asia regional summit next year, officials said yesterday.

"We will have substantive talks at that point of time," Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee told reporters after meeting his Pakistani counterpart Khur-sheed Mehmood Kasuri in the Indian capital.

"This was just an informal meeting," Mukherjee said.

The meeting between the foreign ministers, the first in more than a year, came two weeks after their foreign secretaries resumed peace talks and set up a joint panel to fight terrorism and curb tensions.

It was also the first time the two men have met since Mukherjee, a veteran politician, moved from the defense ministry to foreign affairs last month.

Kasuri, who was in the Indian capital to attend the wedding of the daughter of another Indian minister, said the two sides need to build trust further.

The India-Pakistan peace process has made slow progress since it was launched in 2004.

New Delhi suspended the dialogue after bomb attacks on trains in Mumbai in July, which it blamed on a Pakistan-based militant group.

But it agreed to resume talks after leaders of the two countries met on the sidelines of a Non-Aligned Movement summit in Havana in September.

Ahead of his talks, Kasuri said the counter-terrorism panel -- whose task is to share information and pursue leads connected to attacks -- would only succeed if the two countries did not use it as a propaganda tool.

"If it is used propagandistically, blaming each other, it will fail," the Press Trust of India news agency quoted Kasuri as saying late on Sunday. "It should discuss specific cases and evidence. Both countries should cooperate with each other."

"When Pakistan cooperated with Britain and prevented airliner accidents, it did not happen through newspapers, it happened through cooperation," he said.

Kasuri was referring to a plot by terrorists uncovered in August to detonate liquid explosives on planes flying from Britain to the US. The plot was foiled in Britain with more than a dozen arrests in the UK, thanks to intelligence tip-offs from Pakistan.

In other developments, India said yesterday that its first test of a missile designed to intercept other missiles was a success, amid its ongoing efforts to develop a home-grown ballistic interception system.

A surface-to-surface Prithvi-II missile was shot down over the Bay of Bengal by a similar missile fired seconds later.

The weapons were fired from the country's Chandipur-on-Sea and Wheeler Islands testing sites respectively, about 45 nautical miles (83km) apart, an officer with the Defense Research and Development Organization, which conducted the test, said on condition of anonymity.

The Prithvi-II missile, which is capable of carrying conventional or nuclear warheads, was last tested on Nov. 19. It has a range of up to 250km.
