Two years after political reforms, freedom of faith nowhere in sight.
MALÉ, Maldives, August 10 (CDN) — Visitors to this Islamic island nation get a sense of religious restrictions even before they arrive. The arrival-departure cards given to arriving airline passengers carry a list of items prohibited under Maldivian laws – including "materials contrary to Islam."
After Saudi Arabia, the Maldives is the only nation that claims a 100-percent Muslim population. The more than 300,000 people in the Maldives, an Indian Ocean archipelago featuring 1,192 islets 435 miles southwest of Sri Lanka, are all Sunnis.
This South Asian nation, however, has more than 70,000 expatriate workers representing several non-Islamic religions, including Christianity.
Also, around 60,000 tourists, mainly from Europe, visit each year to enjoy the blue ocean and white beaches and normally head straight to one of the holiday resorts built on around 45 islands exclusively meant for tourism. Tourists are rarely taken to the other 200 inhabited islands where locals live.
Nearly one-third of the population lives in the capital city of Malé, the only island where tourists and Maldivians meet.
While the Maldivians do not have a choice to convert out of Islam or to become openly atheist, foreigners in the country can practice their religion only privately.
In previous years several Christian expats have either been arrested for attending worship in private homes or denied visas for several months or years on suspicion of being connected with mission agencies.
According to "liberal estimates," the number of Maldivian Christians or seekers "cannot be more than 15," said one source.
"Even if you engage any Maldivian in a discussion on Christianity and the person reports it to authorities, you can be in trouble," the source said. "A Maldivian youth studying in Sri Lanka became a Christian recently, but when his parents came to know about it, they took him away. We have not heard from him since then."
The source added that such instances are not uncommon in the Maldives.
"I wish I could attend church, but I am too scared to look for one," said a European expat worker. "I have not even brought my Bible here; I read it online. I don't want to take any chances."
The British reportedly translated the Bible into the local language, Dhivehi, and made it available in the 19th century, as the Maldives was a British protectorate from 1887 to 1965. Today no one knows how the Dhivehi Bible "disappeared."
"A new translation has been underway for years, and it is in no way near completion," said the source who requested anonymity.
Religion Excluded from Rights
The 2008 constitution, adopted five years after a popular movement for human rights began, states that a "non-Muslim may not become a citizen of the Maldives."
Abdulla Yameen, brother of the former dictator of the Maldives and leader of the People's Alliance party, an ally of the opposition Dhivehi Raiyyathunge Party (Maldivian People's Party or DRP), told Compass that the issue of religious freedom was "insignificant" for the Maldives.
"There's no demand for it from the public," Yameen said. "If you take a public poll, 99 percent of the citizens will say 'no' to religious freedom."
Maldivians are passionate about their religion, Yameen added, referring to a recent incident in which a 37-year-old Maldivian citizen, Mohamed Nazim, was attacked after he told a gathering that he was not a Muslim. On May 28, before a crowd of around 11,000 Maldivians, Nazim told a visiting Indian Muslim televangelist, Zakir Naik, that although he was born to a practicing Muslim family, he was "struggling to believe in religions."
He also asked Naik about his "verdict on Islam." The question enraged an angry crowd, with many calling for Nazim's death while others beat him. He received several minor injuries before police took him away.
"See how the public went after his [Nazim's] throat," said Yameen, who studied at Claremont Graduate University in California. When asked if such passion was good for a society, he replied, "Yes. We are an Islamic nation, and our religion is an important part of our collective identity."
Asked if individuals had no rights, his terse answer was "No." Told it was shocking to hear his views, he said, "We are also shocked when a nation legalizes gay sex."
Mohamed Zahid, vice president of the Human Rights Commission of the Maldives, told Compass that the country has its own definition of human rights.
"It is to protect people's rights under the sharia [Islamic law] and other international conventions with the exception of religious freedom," he said. "We are a sovereign nation, and we follow our own constitution."
Zahid and several other local sources told Compass that the issue of religious rights was "irrelevant" for Maldivians. "Not more than 100 people in the country want religious freedom," Zahid said.
Politics of Religion
Former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, a virtual dictator for 30 years until 2008, is generally held responsible for creating an atmosphere of religious restrictions in the Maldives, as he sought to homogenize religion in the country by introducing the state version of Sunni Islam. He also led a major crackdown on Christians.
The Protection of Religious Unity Act, enacted in 1994, was an endeavor to tighten the government's control over mosques and all other Islamic institutions. The Gayoom administration even wrote Friday sermons to be delivered in mosques.
In 1998, Gayoom began a crackdown on alleged missionary activities.
"A radio station based out of India used to air Christian programs via the Seychelles, but the government came to know about it and ensured that they were discontinued with the help of the government in the Seychelles," said a local Muslim source.
That year, Gayoom reportedly arrested around 50 Maldivians who were suspected to have converted to Christianity and deported 19 foreign workers accused of doing missionary work. A source said Gayoom apparently wanted to regain popularity at a time when his leadership was being questioned.
When the archipelago became a multi-party democracy in October 2008, new President Mohamed Nasheed, a former journalist and activist, was expected to pursue a liberal policy as part of the country's reforms agenda.
Although Nasheed is the president, his party, the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP), has only 28 members and the support of four independents in the 77-member People's Majlis (Maldives' unicameral Parliament). Gayoom, now in his 70s and the leader of the largest opposition party, the DRP, has a simple majority – which presents difficulties in governance. Nasheed pleads helplessness in implementing reforms, citing an intransigent opposition.
Today Gayoom's party accuses President Nasheed of not being able to protect the country's distinct identity and culture, which the opposition says are rooted in Islam. The Gayoom-led parliament recently sought to impeach the education minister for proposing to make Islam and Dhivehi lessons optional – rather than mandatory – in high school.
To pre-empt the impeachment move, the whole cabinet of Nasheed resigned on June 29, which caused a major political crisis that led to violent street protests. The Nasheed administration allegedly arrested some opposition members, including Gayoom's brother, Yameen. Political tensions and uncertainties continued at press time.
Now that President Nasheed's popularity is declining – due to perceptions that he has become as authoritarian as his predecessor – it is feared that, amid immense pressure by the opposition to follow conservative policies, he might begin to follow in Gayoom's footsteps.
Growing Extremism
Both the ruling and opposition parties admit that Islamic extremism has grown in the country. In October 2007, a group of young Maldivians engaged government security forces in a fierce shootout on Himandhoo Island.
Nasheed's party alleges that Gayoom's policy of promoting the state version of Sunni Islam created an interest to discern "true Islam," with extremists from Pakistan stepping in to introduce "jihadism" in the Maldives. The DRP, on the other hand, says that behind the growth of extremism is the current government's liberal policy of allowing Muslims of different sects to visit the Maldives to preach and give lectures, including the conservative Sunni sect of "Wahhabis."
Until the early 1990s, Maldivian women would hardly wear the black burqa (covering the entire body, except the eyes and hands), and no men would sport a long beard – outward marks of Wahhabi Muslims, said the Muslim source, adding that "today the practice has become common."
Still, Islam as practiced in the Maldives is pragmatic and unlike that of Saudi Arabia, he said. "People here are liberal and open-minded."
As extremism grows, though, it is feared that radical Islamists may go to any extent to extra-judicially punish anyone suspected of being a missionary or having converted away from Islam, and that they can pressure the government to remain indifferent to religious freedom.
How long will it take for the Maldives to allow religious freedom?
"Maybe after the Maldivian government legalizes gay sex," the Muslim source joked.
Report from Compass Direct News

MANSFIELD, Mass. — Police are investigating a possible sexual assault at a weekend Keith Urban concert at which dozens of people were treated for excessive drinking.
Sean Murphy was arrested after concertgoers said Saturday night they saw a possible rape on the lawn at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, about 30 miles south of Boston. Bystanders captured the scene on cellphone cameras.
Murphy, who's 18 years old, said the encounter was consensual and the girl was 17 years old. He has pleaded not guilty to a rape charge.
The Attleboro Sun-Chronicle reported Wednesday that police said a woman at the concert asked Murphy's accuser if she consented and she said no. Police said the woman pulled Murphy away and he left. Police arrested him later at the concert, which 18,000 people attended.
Police said Murphy, who's from Boston, and his accuser met for the first time at the concert and were kissing at a concession stand before he led her to the lawn, the newspaper reported. Prosecutor Melissa Tafe said at Murphy's arraignment Monday that the accuser told police she went with him because she was afraid not to.
Murphy has no criminal record and isn't accused of using force against the girl, defense attorney Neil Crowley said.
"This was a private act that regrettably occurred in a public place," Crowley told The Boston Globe. "Mr. Murphy deeply regrets this incident, and I'm sure the young woman does as well."
Investigators are reviewing photos and videos and said they want to speak with other witnesses.
Urban had no comment on what happened at his concert and was referring all inquiries to local authorities, his publicist said.
Authorities said several dozen people were treated for alcohol-related illnesses at the concert and ambulances from five surrounding communities responded. At least 46 people were treated, and 22 were taken to hospitals.

Video: How to unlock a phone
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to unlock an Alcatel phone?
To unlock your Alcatel, you need access to the internet and an e-mail address where we can send you simple instructions. You will also need to be able to access the keypad and dropdown menus of the phone.
Do I need to know the exact model of my Alcatel?
Yes, you need to know the exact model of your Alcatel prior to requesting an unlocking code. If you do not know the exact model, or equivalent model, click here to find out using our free make and model search function.
Can I still unlock my Alcatel if I don't know the original network provider?
Yes. Just select a network provider from any country and fill out the rest of the information correctly, because the unlocking instructions youll receive by e-mail are the same for all.
How many attempts do I have to unlock my Alcatel?
You have nothing to worry about if you have never tried to unlock your Alcatel in the past. However, with some models you can see how many unlocking attempts you have left by inserting a SIM card from a network provider different to the one the phone is locked to. You will be prompted for the unlocking code and at the same time the phone will indicate how many unlocking attempts are remaining. If you have run out of unlocking attempts, it will not be possible to unlock your phone. This is why it is very important that you request an unlocking code through a reputable phone unlocking provider offering you full guarantees. Avoid cheap and untrustworthy online providers because they could easily damage your Alcatel. Your Alcatel will display the number of unlocking attempts remaining when you insert a SIM card from a different network provider to the one the phone is locked to.
Can I unlock my Alcatel if it has been reported or on the blacklist?
Reports are additional security measures which prevent the phone being used normally and are not removed by unlocking the phone. If your Alcatel has been reported stolen, lost or due to outstanding bills, you should contact the network provider to which the phone is locked to remove the blocking. You can still unlock your phone, you just wont be able to use it until it has been removed from the blacklist.

Taste of Travel: Something about The Surrey
With good reason, people flock to Florida and the Caribbean to escape the brutal chill of winter. But in the Big Apple, where taxis are the everyday mode of transportation, winters aren't so bad. In fact, there's so much to do in New York City in the summertime, winter allows visitors to partake in a new set of options, both inside and out. Think ice-skating at Rockefeller Plaza or a brisk walk along Central Park. Or, if you're like me, spend all your time indoors indulging in spa treatments, museum visits and the culinary pleasures that surround. If you opt for the indoors, break into your slush fund to stay in a luxurious hotel, preferably one that opened in the late 1920s as a residence that housed celebrities such as Bette Davis and John F. Kennedy, and one with a king-size bed priced at $10,000.
The Surrey could not be more welcoming. Before I arrive at this Upper East Side boutique hotel in the elusive section of New York City, I am sent a questionnaire in regard to my favorite snacks and reading material. My three-hour ride on the Amtrak train from Boston brought me to Penn Station, where a car sent by The Surrey picked me up. Once checked in, I open my door to a Chanel-inspired interior design of Lauren Rottet, as well as a table of goodies that includes a bowl filled with my favorite black licorice, a box of Parisian dark chocolate thin squares and Vogue, Vanity Fair and Town & Country magazines wrapped up in black ribbons with The Surrey logo. My peek over the orchid arrangement to gaze out the window is of rooftop gardens on Madison Avenue buildings. As I soak in the view, I imagine these rooftops as popular hangout spots in the summer, and even in winter, shoppers stroll the luxury retail-laden streets below. I later discover The Surrey has its own rooftop haven that I'll be sure to visit come summertime.
For now, I order a taxi and take a ride to Eataly for a quick lunch of Neapolitan pizza and Italian wine, stock up on kitchenware and homemade pasta and other Italian delicacies, head down to the Bar Pleiades. This isn't your everyday bar, but one designed in the fashion of a Chanel compact, right down to the puffed triangular stitching on the walls. I almost faint from the thrill of walking in to this design, but I compose myself to save face within the trendy bar scene. A sip on The Last Caress, a snow-cone consistency made with gin and topped with this libation's base: juniper berries, served in a champagne coupe, sets me at ease.
Bar Pleiades is adjacent to famous French Chef Daniel Boulud's Café Boulud, where I am seated for a French-inspired dinner that begins with an elegant 2010 bottle of Domaine Jean-Michel Gaunoux Les Perrieres, recommended by the sommelier, and an amuse bouche trio of a salty Massachusetts oyster, a tiny arancini and a truffled tuna ta tare. My favorite dish of the evening is chestnut agnolotti topped with shaved black truffles. A long drizzle of cheese and chestnut cream accompanies each spoonful. My big regret in ordering this dish is that I ordered it as an appetizer and not as my main entrée. It is that good. The smoky mushroom flavors mingle well with the Parmesan froth, black truffle butter and perfectly cooked risotto that lifts my winter-worn mindset.
Breakfast in bed the next morning kept with the same theme: mushroom quiche prepared by Café Boulud, before heading to Cornelia Spa for a signature facial.
Upon entering the spa, I am once again overcome with warm welcomes before seated between curtains of luxury linens. I accept a cup of pomegranate green tea and a warmed neck pillow as I unwind in the quiet transition space. A library of books and accessories for sale is within my view, but nowhere can I find lockers. That is not the style of Cornelia Spa, which has five treatment rooms, each with its own sofa, shower and restroom so that any and all treatments are conducted without having to change into a robe and move from room to room.
First things first, a teaspoon of raw chestnut honey to quiet my nervous system, or so I am told. It's delicious and coats my throat like the comfort of a warm blanket.
Based on an individual's needs, a facial service is varied, and my tired, aged, dehydrated skin welcomes the elaborate massage techniques, extraction and slathering of pumpkin cleanser before my oxygen mask is applied over gauze for better lifting and peeling. Before, during and after my treatment, I am lulled to relaxation with a thorough massage of my hands, arms, back, shoulders and face.
Apres facial I am led, slowly, to that same chair within the linen curtains where another cup of tea awaits, as does a meringue cookie and spoon filled with spiced nuts. Cornelia Spa has my vote as one of the factors that make The Surrey so special. The before version of my tired face was quite different than the one I walked out with, one revitalized, clearer and hydrated.
By the time my cab drops me off at Il Ristorante for lunch, I'm craving the kale/Parmesan salad and fill up on half the dish after a helping of Italian hams and before indulging in a few bites of spaghetti carbonara. The ambiance of fresco walls and patrons conversing in Italian add significantly to this must-repeat experience.
Now I am full, so a walk in lieu of a taxi is decided to get to Jewels by JAR at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where more than 400 whimsical works by the reclusive Joel A. Rosenthal and his Swiss-born partner/fellow designer Pierre Jeannett are on display. Prior to the Met's current show, Rosenthal's only show in New York was a small, invitation-only event for four hours in November 1987, when the JAR Jewels were displayed in the middle of a darkened room, and each guest was given a flashlight to view them.
Their owners have graciously lent most of the pieces in the show; JAR doesn't maintain a "stock" of pieces, as most are made for a specific person, or because of the inspiration of a particular stone or material.
Decadent jewels dangle or are embedded in handkerchief and spiral earrings, brooches and rings on loan from celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow. The exhibit is so intensely envy provoking that I find myself dreaming of sporting such splendors as I exit the large-scale museum.
Alas, my visions are alive only in my dreams in the catnap I take before dinner at Tribeca-based Dylan Prime, a brick-walled steakhouse where Chef Kerry Heffernan serves up plates of family-style portions to the large group I meet. House-made charcuterie, homemade cavatelli butternut squash with brown butter, pork belly with a crisp top of deliciousness, pasta "bathed in butternut squash," fried oysters with bone marrow and rib eye so tender it makes me crave more once I head back to Boston.
But before I head bid adieu from Penn Station, I work off some calories at Refine Method, a high-cardio energizing workout founded by Brynn Putnam, who has established a partnership with The Surrey. By 7:30 a.m. I was performing jumping jacks and running in place before using my body weight in resistance training, as well as kettlebells and a medicine ball. The women in this class are serious about getting and keeping in shape; there is no fluff and chatter here. The Surrey offers a spacation package that includes classes at Refine Method.

From Daniel Boulud's book, "Daniel: My French Cuisine"
• 1 3/4 cups pasta flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 t salt
• 1 t colza oil
• 1 cup fromage blanc
• 1/2 cup crème fraiche
• 2 T flour
• 1 T colza oil
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/4 t freshly ground nutmeg
• Salt and freshly ground white pepper
• 3 T butter
• 1 lb. hen of the woods or other wild mushrooms, cut into bite-size pieces, washed and patted dry
To finish:
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 bunch oregano leaves
• 1/2 bunch chives, thinly sliced
For the dough: In an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour, milk, salt and oil. Mix on medium speed for three minutes. If needed, add one tablespoon warm water to help the dough come together into a solid mass. Continue to knead the dough on medium speed until smooth, about eight minutes. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to three days.
Divide the dough into six portions. Using a pasta machine, roll each portion, decreasing the thickness after each pass, into long, very thin 5-inch-wide sheets (setting No. 1 on most machines). You will need to do this in several batches. Trim the sheets into approximately 10- to 12-inch lengths. Transfer to a tray in between layers of parchment paper and refrigerate (or freeze until needed).
For the topping: In a medium bowl, whisk to combine the fromage blanc, crème fraiche, flour, oil, egg yolk and nutmeg until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and keep chilled.
Brown the butter in a large sauté pan over high heat. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain onto a paper towel-lined plate.
To finish: If you have a pizza stone, place it on the bottom of the oven; otherwise, an upside-down baking sheet can be substituted. Preheat the oven to 500 F.
Place a sheet of dough on a lightly floured pizza peel. Spread the cream topping in a thin layer over the dough, making sure it is evenly distributed. Leave a quarter-inch border around the edge of the dough. Sprinkle one-sixth of the onion, mushrooms, oregano and chives evenly over the cream topping. Repeat to make all six tartes. Slide the flambees, one at a time, onto the pizza stone and bake until crispy on the bottom and lightly browned on top. Slice and serve immediately.

CostaLiving column: He's not heavy, he just has a higher IQ
My older brother doesn't need the new Norwegian study to bolster his assertion that he has a higher IQ than I have. He has been telling me and my younger brother that for years. I always suspected it was true anyway. He is a very bright and accomplished guy with a competitive streak that makes seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong look like he needs training wheels.
To have the IQ issue quantified by a legitimate scientific study is depressing for us younger siblings. The research focused on 241,300 Norwegian men and found that first-borns score three points higher on IQ tests than their younger brothers. First-born children reportedly receive more time, money and energy from their parents and this extra attention, they claim, accounts for the additional three IQ points.
Researchers are also quick to point out that although three points may seem small, it can mean the difference between a B-plus and an A-minus average, or between getting into an elite college or one that is second-tier. It can also mean the younger brother has to mow the lawn more so the older brother can have more time to read.
After all, he is the first one to go to college and he needs the extra preparatory time.
This new development will take some getting used to, I'm sure. I already have trouble acting appropriately deferentially to my brother as it is, but now in our debates I am going to have to listen more carefully to his point of view. Maybe he sees something I don't with my lower IQ.
What do those Norwegians know anyway? Aren't they the very same people who suffer from the effects of long, dark winters and experience some of the highest rates of depression in the known world? And isn't it very cold in Norway? Maybe there is a cold equivalent of the hanging-chad problem. Did those No. 2 pencils malfunction in the sub-zero temperatures and fail to cover in the ovals on the answer sheet? I want a retest. Is Al Gore an eldest child? Is the issue of higher IQs for eldest children just an inconvenient truth?
I can always fall back on my long-established excuse of not doing well on standardized tests because of my anxiety issues and my non-standardized way of looking at the world. I demand an essay-type IQ test, one that would be graded solely by younger siblings or by Woody Allen. By the way, can someone find out if the head Norwegian researcher is an eldest child?
So overnight I have been saddled with a minus-three handicap and this isn't golf. I guess I won't be so haughty waiting in the morning coffee line and maybe I will slump a little, with my Neanderthal-like brow, now that I have been scientifically and irrefutably cast as second best.
"You say my brother was just in here? Okay, then. I'll have whatever he ordered. I know it will be a smarter choice than what I normally get. Oh, I'll still take the chocolate-glazed donut. I hear sugar is good for the brain – especially before test-taking."

Hawaii has only five counties, and the two tallest highpoints have roads right to the top. However, this list is very difficult to complete, since the trip to Kawaikini is an extremely rugged 20+ mile hike to one of the rainest (and muddiest) spots on earth. The Oahu island high point is a relatively easy (but steep) hike, while the Kalawao high point offers difficult road access and more jungle trekking.
This list was first completed in February, 2006 by four intrepid county highpointers who pioneered the arduous trek in to Kawaikini.

Does a reviewer have a right to say that books for adolescents are "ever-more-appalling"?
By Janice Harayda
For years Meghan Cox Gurdon has been reviewing books for children and teenagers for the Wall Street Journal – at first biweekly and, since the launch of the paper's book review section in late 2010, weekly. Her reviews are consistently intelligent and well-written and almost always favorable.
Cox Gurdon clearly has made it her mission to look for and call attention to high-quality books for children and teenagers on many topics and in a variety of genres. She has praised books as different as Brian Selznick's The Invention of Hugo Cabret, which won the 2008 Caldecott Medal from the American Library Association, and Ruth Krauss's reissued classic The Backward Day.
Over the weekend the Wall Street Journal published "Darkness Too Visible," one of the rare articles by Cox Gurdon that faulted a major trend — the burgeoning array of novels for adolescents that involve violence, abuse or other bleak topics. For this she has been pilloried in blogs and on Twitter at the hashtag #YASaves, which was created in response her story and has generated more than 15,000 responses, according to the trade newsletter ShelfAwareness. Cox Gurdon has been called "biased" (@KelliTrapnell), "idiotic" (@fvanhorne), "a right-wing nut" (@annejumps), full of "ugliness" (@AprilHenryBooks), and "brittle, ignorant, shrewish" (@Breznian).
What did Cox Gurdon do to earn this torrent of vitriol? She did what critics are supposed to do – to look beyond plot and characterization and consider the deeper themes and issues raised by novels. In "Darkness Too Visible," she questioned the effects of books like Jackie Morse Kessler's Rage, a "gruesome but inventive" 2011 book about a girl whose secret practice of cutting herself "turns nightmarish after a sadistic sexual prank." Cox Gurdon quotes a passage from the novel that says: "She had sliced her arms to ribbons, but the badness remained, staining her insides like cancer. She had gouged her belly until it was a mess of meat and blood, but she still couldn't breathe."
It is entirely legitimate for a reviewer to ask, as Cox Gurdon does, how this might affect a vulnerable child or teenager:
"The argument in favor of such novels is that they validate the teen experience, giving voice to tortured adolescents who would otherwise be voiceless. If a teen has been abused, the logic follows, reading about another teen in the same straits will be comforting. If a girl cuts her flesh with a razor to relieve surging feelings of self-loathing, she will find succor in reading about another girl who cuts, mops up the blood with towels and eventually learns to manage her emotional turbulence without a knife.
"Yet it is also possible—indeed, likely—that books focusing on pathologies help normalize them and, in the case of self-harm, may even spread their plausibility and likelihood to young people who might otherwise never have imagined such extreme measures. Self-destructive adolescent behaviors are observably infectious and have periods of vogue. That is not to discount the real suffering that some young people endure; it is an argument for taking care."
Anyone who writes about children's books regularly knows that Cox Gurdon hasn't made up this trend: Books, like movies, keep getting more lurid. Or, as she puts it, the publishing industry is serving up "ever-more-appalling offerings for adolescent readers." If this issue might not concern all adults, it would surely concern some, given how many buy books as gifts for children without having time to look at much more than the cover and flap copy. And Cox Gurdon isn't saying: Never read young-adult books. She's saying: Know what's in those books, and use judgment, as you would with movies.
Contemporary child-rearing experts urge parents to protect their children in ways that would have been unthinkable a couple of generations ago, when psychologists warned of about the dangers of "overprotectiveness." This shift has resulted from social changes that require more caution, and Cox Gurdon has encouraged adults to apply to their children's reading the level of care that they bring to all other areas of their lives. Is this so terrible? Thousands of people on Twitter have said, "Yes." Anyone who believes that adolescents' reading habits matter as much as their viewing habits may disagree. In her latest article and others, Cox Gurdon has paid young people's literature the highest compliment: She has given children's books the close scrutiny that, in an age of shrinking book-review sections, typically goes only to those for adults. For that, she deserves gratitude.

'SlotZilla' zip line opens in downtown Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS— A zip line that swoops riders past the vintage casinos of downtown Las Vegas and under the giant video canopy of the Fremont Street Experience is now open for business.
The lower zip lines on the $12 million SlotZilla attraction opened to the public Sunday after 14 months of construction, while a set of higher lines is expected to open a little later this spring.
"People are really enjoying it," said Fremont Street Experience spokesman Thomas Bruny, who pointed out more typical zip lines take tourists over forests and lakes. "This one is unique because nowhere else are you flying over people and under the largest video canopy in the world."
The high-flying rides start from a 12-story tower designed to look like a giant slot machine. Riders can now take the 77-foot-high zip lines, in which visitors are harnessed in a sitting position and glide 850 lateral feet to a platform near The D and 4 Queens casinos.
A "zoom line" opening later this spring launches riders from 114 feet up and sends them soaring in a horizontal "Superman" position 1,700 feet across the entire pedestrian mall. That attraction uses a power boost to ensure riders make it the full distance of the wire.
Zip line rides cost $20, while zoom line rides will cost $30.
The attraction is an expansion of a much smaller, temporary zip line that has for two years scooted families, newlyweds and Elvis impersonators beneath a long metal canopy that displays an hourly light show.
That ride was intended to be a 30-day novelty, but it proved such a crowd pleaser the business community began working to make it permanent.

Gosh - I can't believe all the new cartridges coming out - I love the Ribbon and Rosettes cartridge. I am new at using Cricut and am just loving it. One of the things I struggle with is knowing what each cartridge can do/make. So my best tip right now is when you get the cartridge, take the time to play with it and test out each of the functions and characters. This way you know for sure what can be done with that cartridge - too often, I would use one or two characters only not realizing what else was available. Thanks for all your tips and videos, I love visiting your sites. Claudette email@example.com
Wow, such great cartridges again! Aaaw, I think I want them all:) cute vampire card, tfs!ReplyDelete

I thought it might be nice for newbies if I shared the very first tip I was given when I got my Cricut. That is: Write the word "top" on the protective sheet for your Cricut cutting mat so that you don't accidentally put it upside down on your sticky Cricut mat when you are finished using it.ReplyDelete
Great halloween card! TFS!ReplyDelete
Glad i am a Circle Member! I love paper Trimmings!ReplyDelete
My tip is... Make sure the blade housing setting is facing out. Your cut will be smoother.
Thanks for a chance to win. Edwina Brown email@example.com
Love this card.... and the Cricut cartridges you showed are AMAZING.....LOVE EVERYONE OF THEM!ReplyDelete
My best tip is to save every bit of your 'scraps' from cuts. I have an accordion folder by colors. You can piece these together to cut more wonderful things!ReplyDelete

What a fun card, love him!!ReplyDelete

UPDATED: In recent years Canada's Royal Ontario Museum has acquired eight objects from Art of the Past, the Manhattan antiquities gallery specializing in South Asian art that is now the focus of an international investigation into its owner's alleged ties to the illicit antiquities trade.
The now shuttered gallery is owned Subhash Kapoor, the American antiquities dealer of Indian extraction who has sold ancient art to museums and private collectors around the world since 1974. As we've reported previously, Kapoor was arrested in Germany last year and extradited to India, where he facing charges of trafficking in looted Asian antiquities and being the mastermind of a network of temple looters operating in Tamil Nadu. In July, American authorities issued an arrest warrant for Kapoor and seized $20 million worth of ancient art from his Manhattan warehouse. Indian investigators have also asked authorities in Australia, Singapore and the United Kingdom for help with their expanding investigation.
We've previously traced more that 200 Kapoor objects to museums around the globe. We can now add the Royal Ontario Museum to that list. Six of the Kapoor objects at the ROM are modern works on paper, a specialty of Kapoor's that are not the subject of the current investigation. Two other objects, however, may be of interest to investigators.
The first is a Ghandaran stone reliquary from the 1st to 2nd century A.D.. in the shape of a stuppa that was featured in the museum's 2004-2005 newsletter. "Purchased through the generous support of the Louise Hawley Stone Charitable Trust, the ROM acquired a beautiful Buddhist Reliquary dated to the 2nd century CE," the newsletter said. "The outer container is made of steatite, a grayish stone common to the region of Gandhara, in presentday western Pakistan. The inner container is carved from rock crystal and is decorated with stunning gold granular ornamentation, a testament to the level of skill in ancient gold craftsmanship. The ROM's reliquary would have contained the relics (ash, bone, precious metals) of an important Buddhist monk and would have been placed in the centre of a large burial mound, called a 'stupa.'"
UPDATE: In response to our questions, a museum spokeswoman said, "The Gandharan Reliquary was in the personal collection of a well-known US-based collector since 1969. A signed letter by the owner is on file at the museum and ownership was confirmed through direct contact with the collector." We've requested the identity of the collector and any underlying documents to support that provenance and will post them when we have them.
The Taliban-controlled region of western Pakistan where the Gandharan culture thrived centuries ago has been the subject of extensive looting in recent years.
The second Kapoor object of interest is an 18th century bronze figure of Krishna Venugopala. While not ancient, it is listed as coming from Orissa or Bengal, India. It is not clear when the piece left India or whether it received the required export permit. Kapoor is alleged to have used false export permits to disguise stolen cultural objects as garden furniture or modern handicrafts.
UPDATE: The ROM museum apparently purchased this object in 2006 with no record of legal export. A museum spokeswoman tells us: "The statue of Krishna from Bengal or Orissa was in a UK-based collection since 1970. There is no documentation on file at the museum and we continue to investigate its provenance further." We've requested details on the UK-based collection and will post it here when we get it.
Beyond the objects purchased from Kapoor, the museum has an extensive collection of
recently acquired objects from South Asia that are of interest, some of which were acquired recently. (In an email, a museum official notes the South Asia collection has been built since the founding of the museum, with most of the historical collection coming into the museum in the 1920s to 1950s.)
For example, this 10th century figure of a yogini from the Chola dynasty of Southern India was acquired in 1956
in 2004. It is described by the museum as "part of a dispersed set of goddessed [sic] that occupied a temple in the Tamil region of southern India," an area known for the rampant looting of temple idols. When did the group of objects leave the temple? Does it have a legal export permit from India? The museum is silent on these questions.
UPDATE: A museum official notes the object was acquired in 1956. "It is part of a set of similar sculptures dispersed across museums in India (Government Museum Chennai), Europe (British Museum, Guimet), and North America (Asian Art Museum San Francisco, Freer Sackler Galleries, and others). This set has been extensively documented and its collecting history published in a new book: Scattered Goddesses: Travels with the Yoginis by Padma Kaimal, 2012."
Then there's the ROM's bronze dancing Shiva from Chola dynasty of the 12th century A.D., also from the Tamil region. The Shiva bears some resemblance to those that Indian authorities said were allegedly removed from Tamil temples by looters in recent years. (One has allegedly been linked to Australia's National Gallery of Art.) The ROM's description of the object notes, "Such bronze sculptures were predominantly produced from the Chola period onward, a dynasty of kings that ruled over much of southern India from the ninth to the twelfth centuries AD. They were housed in temples and regularly brought out and decorated for processions." Again, when did this particular object leave India, and did it have a valid export permit? UPDATE: A museum official says the Nataraja was acquired in 1938.
In a statement about the Kapoor objects, museum spokeswoman Shelagh O'Donnell said, "Following museum policy, each acquisition was carefully investigated in terms of quality, authenticity and provenance. The antiquities in this group have been documented as having acceptable provenance from published auctions or from known private collections. The modern works comply with all current Indian export regulations. The ROM is in the process of re-examining the documentation for this group of objects."
On October 3rd, we asked the ROM to provide the underlying documentation supporting the 'acceptable provenance' for several of the above objects. We have not received a response. We'll let you know when we learn more.
Here is the full list of Kapoor objects released by the museum:

As featured in her brand new cookbook, Kosher Revolution, Geila Hocherman teaches us how to make hamentashen in print and on video:
Hamentashen with Four Fillings
- 2 1/2 cups flour, plus more for flouring work surface
- 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon orange juice (optional)
Poppy filling
- One 2-ounce jar poppy seeds
- One 12-ounce jar black currant jam
- 1/2 cup raisins, soaked in boiling water until soft, drained
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
Raspberry filling
- One 12-ounce jar raspberry jam
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Apricot Filling
- One 12-ounce jar apricot jam
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries, soaked in boiling water until soft, drained.
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Coconut -Chocolate- Hazelnut Filling
- One 13-ounce jar Nutella, or other
- chocolate-hazelnut spread
- First make the crust. Sift the flour and baking powder onto parchment paper. In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the oil, sugar and vanilla, and blend at medium speed. One at a time, add the eggs, incorporating the first before the adding the second, and blend. Add the orange juice, if using and blend. Reduce the speed and add the flour mixture, gradually to make a dough.
- Divide the dough into 2 parts and flatten each to make a disk. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap, stack the discs on a plate, and refrigerate until the stiff enough to work easily, at least 2 hours.
- Meanwhile make the filling(s). For the poppy, raspberry-and/or apricot fillings, combine the ingredients in small bowls, stir to blend, and refrigerate for 1 hour. For the chocolate combine the ingredients in a small bowl. Transfer half the filling to the centerof an 18 inch piece of plastic wrap, fold the wrap over the filling to enclose it, and squeeze the mixture to create a log 1-inch in diameter. Repeat with the remaining filling and freeze the logs.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Flour a work surface well and roll 1 of the discs out on it. Using a 3-inch glass or round cookie cutter, cut out rounds. Pipe about 1 tablespoon of the poppy seed, raspberry and/or apricot filling(s) in the center of each round, wet the edges with water and bring up the dough together to seal. Alternatively, drop the filling onto the dough by heaping tablespoons. For the chocolate filling, cut the frozen logs onto 1/2 inch discs. Fill the rounds by placing a disc in the center of each form and seal.
- Transfer the hamentashen to 1 or more cookie sheets and bake, in batches if necessary, until pale gold 12 or 14 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool.
Enjoy, gentle reader, enjoy!

Teddy Roosevelt fans heading to Nationals Park tonight might want to check out the party in the Right Field Terrace, where a group of enthusiastic Teddy Roosevelt fans will be cheering on #26 during the 4th inning presidents race.
The group of American history students is on its 8th-grade visit to Washington, DC from Hillwood Middle school in Ft. Worth Texas. Faithful readers may recall the night they took over Nationals Park two years ago. The group once again voted on homemade Teddy #26 jerseys for their trip t-shirt.
In preparation for tonight's contest, the group visited Roosevelt Island this afternoon, to give Teddy an inspirational pep talk.
We'll be featuring a guest blog post from the Ft. Worth students later in the week.

Etna Lions varsity baseball preview
The potential is certainly in place for another solid season from the Etna Lions varsity baseball team. But, head coach Collin Krueger empathized, they still have a lot of work ahead if they want to achieve what the Lions accomplished last season.
Last Friday and Saturday Etna opened the season 0-3 at the Foothill High tournament in Palo Cedro. While Krueger thought they played fairly well in losses to Shasta and University Prep, he was not as pleased in their play in a 6-5 five-inning loss to fellow Shasta Cascade squad Burney after losing a four-run lead in the fifth.
"It was disappointing," Krueger said. "We need to work harder."
Last season, the Lions finished 22-5-1 overall and won the Shasta Cascade title. Etna also made it to the Northern Section Division 5 title game where they lost 1-0 to Hamilton.
The key for this year, Krueger said, comes down to if the squad is willing to put in the maximum effort needed to have another successful season. If they can do that and improve with each game they should be OK. If not, there will be struggles, he said.
"We need more intensity," Krueger said. "We've got talent but they need to realise that we can do well again, but it isn't going to be handed to us. It takes work."
Krueger believes that if his squad can do the fundamentals right, such as keeping errors on the field down and being mentally prepared they should again be in contention for another SCL title.
Krueger said a high point in the first three games was that his top two pitchers in seniors Preston Munson and Ricky Reynolds threw well. They both also hit well, with Munson going 5-for-9 in the three games and Reynolds going 3-for 9. Andrew Stone, a newcomer to the varsity squad, also did well from the plate and went 3-for-5 for the tournament.
But, Krueger said, more players need to get involved and play well for the team to reach its full potential.
"We need to improve," Krueger said. "We need to do better than three guys."
Munson was a standout pitcher and hitter last season. He pitched a perfect game in a first round playoff win versus Biggs and finished 7-1 with a 1.75 ERA and 87 strikeouts. As a hitter he batted .393 with 31 hits, 20 runs and 24 RBI's. While not a starting pitcher last season, Reynolds was solid when he did pitch and finished with three wins and 1.58 ERA in nine appearances. As a hitter Reynolds was lights out, finishing with a stellar .528 batting average with four home runs and 23 stolen bases. Reynolds was the SCL MVP while Munson was a first team selection last year.
The Lions lost several key players from 2012, including first team SCl selections Colby Rimmer, Nick Hansen, Tanner Schaefer and honorable mention selection Will Johnson. Other returners who should include seniors Nick Meyer and Kainen Krueger. Newcomers Krueger said should contribute include Harrison Hogun and pitcher Trevor Stacher.
This week the only game on tap for the Lions is a scrimmage game against Yreka on the road in Yreka. Next week Etna will face Bonanza at home on Tuesday and host a tournament from Thursday through Saturday.

We've been using Recruit a Friend to level up some alts on Argent Dawn where SAN lives, but the obvious flaw with this scheme was that Reversion was about to get multiple level 60s characters and I wouldn't have any once the RAF account lapsed. So we did the obvious thing and linked an RAF account to my main account for him to play, making four active accounts for us for a while (Analogue main, Analogue RAF, Reversion main, Reversion RAF)
And obviously once you've got four accounts that can level at triple XP speeds, what do you do? Run all four at once, of course! So Reversion created a hunter (main) and a druid (RAF), while I created a shaman (main) and a paladin (RAF). Rev has two computers setup on his desk so he has one account on each; my offside machine is having video card issues so I hooked up a second monitor to my machine and ran two WOW instances in windowed mode.
Reversion is planning to discuss some of his strategies for getting the most out of his setup; he uses a lot of macros and interesting techniques. Mine are a bit less complicated and less effective, since I only have one mouse and keyboard to control things and I have to switch which WOW is the active one in order to do things on that character.
Some general things we've learned: We set up with me controlling both my accounts and Rev doing both of his, which works ok except we're constantly having to check to make sure the other halves of our RAF pairs are close enough for XP. If we do another quartet like this we might have to swap accounts around.
Our mains have heirlooms for an additional 20% XP gain and some really hard hits. We have to work to keep the other characters close to the same level. Usually, we just pick some drop quest to only do on the lower characters and haul them back to level.
The hunter is doing most of the damage. With the heirloom chest, shoulders, bow, and sword, things just drop dead. If we're out questing I run with the shaman and nuke things with lightning bolts and save the paladin for healing when things get sticky. Going to talk about our adventures in Deadmines in a bit and how that was different.
The key for me being able to do this successfully is Vuhdo, that queen of mods that I've rhapsodized in the past. Both the paladin and the shaman start out with one long slow heal; I mapped that in Vuhdo to right click. Later they gain a short heal and a dispel; I've set the short heal to the right side button and the dispel to the mouse wheel scroll up action. All I have to do is move my mouse to the correct Vuhdo setup and click. At worst I have to click twice, if I am trying to do something in the copy of WoW that was not active, the first click activates it and the second does what I want.
We quested in Teldrassil, then moved to Westfall where the killing is good and the quests are plentiful. Seems there was a plague of red-bandana'd Defias. And some gnolls. There were a lot less of both after we steamrolled across the zone, a multi-boxing killing machine of death. (Wait, killing machine of death? You're getting carried away there…)
In ordinary questing, I pretty much ignored the paladin except to keep up buffs, loot quest items, and throw some heals. The one macro I did write on both accounts that was key was a follow macro:
/tar CharacterName
A neat trick for this macro is you can do as many /tar lines as you want. So if you're doing multiple sets of RAF pairings, write one account-wide macro that looks like this:
/tar Character1
/tar Character2
/tar Character3
and you don't have to keep recreating it. The downside is, if you have more than one of these characters in your party it will end up targeting the last one on the list, even if that character is not there, or offline, so plan things out carefully.
Anyway the ordinary questing went well. Reversion's hunter did most of our killing, my shaman helped and my paladin threw around heals. Since I was mostly using lightning bolts on my shaman, I could set a lightning bolt casting, switch to the shaman, start a heal, switch back and do lightning, switch back and do heals… it worked really well.
We did all the quest chains leading up to Deadmines and dinged 20 on all our characters. I took my shaman to get her water totem, and then we went and manually found the entrance to Deadmines (how weird is that!) and decided to see how well we could do. We were a higher level than the instance, so we thought we had a pretty good chance.
I started pretty much the same way I'd done the questing, with the paladin basically just on follow. Then we got to the first boss, the ogre dude, and I figured what the heck, it's easy to grab aggro with a paladin, so I turned on Righteous Fury, taunted, and let the paladin tank while I healed and threw lightning with the shaman. It worked really well. The guy dropped and we didn't.
After that I worked harder to use the pair. Most fights didn't last long enough, but when a patrol came by I'd grab aggro with the paladin, start healing with the shaman, and drop some fire novas when I could. Reversion shot things and Moonfired on his druid and we were just steamrolling through the place.
It helped a lot that we were higher level, that we knew the place well, and that we knew our classes and roles well. Reversion's original main is a hunter and that class is like a well worn pair of shoes for him. I have a paladin tank and I set this paladin's abilities in the same spot as that tank's. I've never done a shaman past about 25, but I do know how to heal and I'd already set up Vuhdo to let me do what I needed; tanking and healing at the same time was not too hard.
The worst times we had were with patrols coming up behind us – they do that a lot in Deadmines. It would take a while to grab aggro, and peoples' health would get pretty low. But we got to the boat with no wipes!
We took down Mr. Smite easy – Reversion's hunter hits like a ton of bricks and he took out the adds fast so we didn't have any trouble getting through the stuns. Then we carefully cleared onto the boat. Being higher level here really helped. It is tricky at the best of times not aggroing half that boat down from above, and when you're maneuvering multiple characters at once it gets hard.
We took down Captain Greenskin with only minimal "ack we're going to die heal heal grab aggro ack DIE!" angst – nobody actually died – and then set up for Van Cleef himself. I set my totems, switched to the paladin, pulled, consecrated, switched to the shaman and healed, switched back to pick up more adds, back again to heal – and then the "Achievement Complete!" box popped up, we finished taking down the adds, and victory!
Of course after this screenshot we jumped down and killed Cookie. I stole his rolling pin, hah!
And we were done! Turned in quests, and logged out for the night. Whew!
It was a lot of fun and we're looking forward to seeing what else we can pull off with a quartet like this. Might be slower than with actual other players, but on the other hand we don't have to deal with idiots…

Mushrooms offer numerous dining options
Life has been a little slow this year for local mushroom hunters. It's been unusually cold with few warm spells, and until recently wet and getting wetter.
Wet is good so long as it's coupled with warm weather, so by the time you read these words serious hunters should have found plenty of greys and hopefully even more of those lovely big yellows.
Those are the ones we hurry out to seek each year.
There have been plenty of articles written about how to find morels, and I've written a few myself. The basic fact is that you walk until you find some, wherever they may be.
You'll find them here this year, there next year, sometimes within five minutes, sometimes after half a day. It's a matter of paying your dues. But what do you do after than onion sack is filled with tasty morels? Lots of things.
First, do use a loose mesh onion sack, because the experts say your travels around woods and fencerows will cause bagged morels to drop some spores and hopefully start a few for next year.
When you get the fungi home, the first step is to slice them lengthwise and soak the lot in light salt water for half an hour or so to dislodge any tiny insects that have made a home inside.
Then rinse them well, set some aside for immediate use, and freeze the others. One top way to freeze mushrooms is to fill a half gallon milk carton with them, add water and freeze.
"There's no freezer burn this way." I was told by one old timer. "I've kept them for two years in cartons and had them taste fresh when I thawed them out."
Now what to do with the fresh ones? Standard operating procedure is to take at least a few handfulls and fry them in butter. Lightly salt, toss onto a platter and dig in. Morels will shower you with their full flavor when used as finger food this way. Don't overdo the frying because morels don't need much. A minute or so on each side is plenty.
Everybody has enjoyed steak and mushrooms and morels are perfect for this combination. Get the outdoor grill fired up, cook your steak until it's close to where you want it, then add morels the last couple of minutes, just enough to get them sizzling hot. Fixed this way, the mushrooms could make a strong man cry. They're REALLY good.
I don't find morels every year, but when I do stumble over a goodly quantity, some are always assigned to breakfast,and I may travel in one of several directions here. The simplest way is to stir up some eggs and milk and pour over fresh morels in the skillet making a tasty omelette. If I'm feeling ambitious, I'll saute lightly some chopped fresh onion and green bell pepper, then add chopped morels and finally the eggs. Excellent. For a grand finale, I might do the above and add chopped or crumbled bacon, ham, or spicy sausage, then again the eggs. Suit your own tastes on touching up the final product with tabasco sauce.
Another breakfast idea? Make old time gravy using bacon or ham fat, flour, milk, etc. and stir in some small morel pieces.
Spoon the result over fried potatoes, and you've a meal that will make any weight watcher cringe and your taste buds shout for joy. After this it's time to get serious. Like making a morel meatloaf. Saute the morels for about three minutes in butter, then mix with your favorite ingredients for a meatloaf, and cook in the oven until done. Serve with mushroom gravy.
Roast chicken with morels? Sure. Roast a large chicken until it's done, split into four equal pieces on a platter. Then saute morels in drippings and butter in a large pan for about five minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of flour until smooth, add a cup and a half heavy cream, a touch of lemon juice, a little fresh parsley, pour over the kept hot chicken pieces, and serve. You'll like it.
The above are a long way from the end. Think about morel zucchini, morel bisque, morel pasta, cream of morel soup, and lots more. All you need is to find some of the basic ingredient.

As we return to the happy island of castaways, we find Galang returning from tribal council and their blindside of Laura M. They were an octopus with eight strong legs and now they have but seven. Whatever. Laura B. is happy to not have been axed and Aras is a little worried because he made eye contact with Laura M. and she gave him the evil eye, marking him as a leader and thus a threat.
Dawn arrives and finds Tyson and Gervase plotting to get rid of Aras. They like him, but they fear him. He is a big threat to win the million. Timing is crucial.
Gervase doesn't want to be a pawn like he was the first time he played, so he's sort of on board with making a power move.
Those not voted off come into the arena to watch those that were voted off, at least three of them, compete to stay alive, figuratively speaking – this isn't ancient Rome, you know. Ciera is sad to see her mom, Laura M., was voted out but Laura tells her everything is fine and no way would she want Ciera to volunteer and take her place. She's got this, she tells Ciera.
So it's onto the challenge. They have to walk across a balance beam and untie a bag of puzzle pieces, carry it over to their tray, then go back and get another bag, all without falling off the beam. This proves difficult for the two men, John and Brad, who have balance issues; Laura M. has no problem.
The puzzles aren't very difficult – just putting numbers in order – and Laura M. wins easily. It's neck and neck for John and Brad, but John finishes first to stay alive.
Brad tells Monica he came on the show to be a shield, but he apparently, through no fault of his own, or maybe it was his fault, he became an anchor. She needs to sail on. He's so articulate, don't you think?
He departs and Laura M. gives the clue to the hidden immunity idol to Aras, who immediately burns it. Laura M. and John head back to their hole and Jeff Probst gives the remaining players the news that things are being switched up. Yes, they are going to even out the tribes.
The old buffs are taken off and the players draw for new buffs. Gervase, Aras and Tyson move to Tadhana while Katie and Vytas go to Galang. The move reunites Katie with her mom, Tina. Ciera is the only woman on her tribe while Vytas is the only man on his tribe.
Everyone starts settling in, wondering if alliances will hold. Gervase and Tyson start interrogating Tadhana, and they give up the goods on who is who, who hates who, and where the hidden idol might be. Tyson also helps himself to all the food he can find, most of the time eating behind everyone's back. Good times.
At Galang, Tina is thrilled to have her daughter with her. Vytas is not happy. He had been a power player on Tadhana, and now he's odd man out on Galang. Two of them came over to Galang, but Katie is bonded to Tina, not to him. Meanwhile, Monica is irritating Kat by wanting to talk strategy all of the time. The way to play 'Survivor,' Kat tells the camera, is to shut it.
Tyson wins the title of Evil Genus. On Tadhana, he's undermining Aras but making it look like Aras is super bossy, socially inept and someone who rocks boats. He does it in a sort of joking manner, but before long Ciera is glaring at Aras and the others are starting to look annoyed by him, too.
At Galang, Vytas decides the best way to connect with the women is to confess his sins as a drug addict and his attempts to make amends with his brother, Aras. It works, somewhat, but Laura B. thinks both brothers are dangerous.
Today's challenge with the new tribes has players swimming out two at a time, diving down to untie gates on an underwater cage and retrieving a fish trap full of puzzle pieces. First to assemble the puzzle wins immunity and a nice feast.
The first surprise is that Gervase apparently has learned to swim. The second is that Tina and Laura B. completely misunderstand the challenge. They swim out and release the gate, but don't bring the trap back. As a result, Galang falls way behind.
Aras and Tyson work to solve their puzzle, but they get confused and amazingly, Galang solves the puzzle first. Yea, they cheer. Except they don't have it quite right. They fix it, cheer again, and fail again. In the meantime, Tadhana wins.
Let the strategizing begin.
Back at Galang, Tina apologizes and says she'll understand if they vote her off, and if they don't, she'll feel guilty for whomever does get booted because its was her mistakes that cost them the game. Laura B., just as culpable, remains silent.
The obvious vote is Vytas, but Kat tells Tina she would like to vote off Monica instead because she's bugging her. Tina doesn't like that because when the merge comes, they could be facing an all male alliance and they need to keep the women's alliance strong. Tina rats Kat out to Monica and Vytas, and Monica says that they had already decided on Vytas (sorry Vytas), but now she questions Kat's loyalty.
Monica confronts Kat, who lies through her hoodie. She's on board with the all-girl alliance. Everything is cool, right? As they head to council, Monica is wanting to vote out Kat, but Tina still wants to get rid of Vytas. Who will it be?
Probst gets right to the point and stirs the Monica-Kat pot. Monica is still concerned; Kat begs not to be voted out. She thinks they should vote out Vytas (sorry Vytas). Kat loves all of the women and wants to please, please stay together. And we will, says Vytas, playing up the feud to the hilt. We will stay strong, he says. And it's time to vote.
We'll cut right to the chase. Kat is out. She heads off to Redemption Island while Probst admonishes the remaining players that trust has to be earned, not just asked for, and that if they haven't been developing trust, they better start. Seriously, the man should be writing fortune cookies.
Next time: Tina is matchmaking between Vytas and Katie; Aras is targeted for elimination.

Fugitive ex-LA cop charged with murder of officer
RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Hundreds of tips prompted by a $1 million reward poured in to authorities seeking help finding the most wanted man in America, an ex-Los Angeles police officer who was charged Monday with murdering a Riverside policeman.
With thousands of officers around Southern California searching for Christopher Dorner, prosecutors in Riverside announced charges for last week's killing. Dorner also was charged with attempted murder for wounding another officer and firing at two others, Riverside County District Attorney Paul Zellerbach said.
Authorities obtained a no-bail arrest warrant, which allows Dorner to be apprehended anywhere, Zellerbach said.
The manhunt for Dorner, 33, began last Wednesday when he was named the suspect in the Orange County murders of a former Los Angeles police captain's daughter and her fiance the previous weekend. Hours after police announced they were looking for him, Dorner first fired at two LAPD officers, then ambushed the Riverside officers.
"By both his words and conduct, he has made very clear to us that every law enforcement officer in Southern California is in danger of being shot and killed," Zellerbach said at a news conference that was guarded by four officers armed with rifles.
Police say Dorner wrote a lengthy manifesto that was posted to Facebook after the double murder. He vowed deadly revenge on those in the LAPD responsible for his firing years earlier, and their families. Police now are providing protection for some 50 families thought to be targets.
The search for Dorner was focused in the mountains near Big Bear Lake about 80 miles east of Los Angeles after his burned-out truck was found there last Thursday. Authorities are searching more than 30 square miles day and night in the ski resort area and checking on roughly 600 cabins.
Police and city officials believe the reward, raised from public and private sources, will encourage citizens to stay vigilant. More than 700 tips had come in since the reward was announced.
"Now it's like the game show 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire,'" said Anthony Burke, supervisory inspector for the U.S. Marshals regional fugitive taskforce. "Instead of one contestant, we've got 100,000, and there's only one question you have to answer. All they have to answer is where he's at, and we can take it from there."
The wide-ranging search has created unusually heavy traffic backups at California border crossings into Mexico, as agents are more closely inspecting each car. State police in Mexico's Baja California were given photographs of Dorner and warned to consider him armed and extremely dangerous.
Zellerbach said authorities believe Dorner will emerge at some point and try to continue carrying out his vendetta.
"I don't think he's done," Zellerbach said. "Just read his manifesto and look at his actions. He's trying to send a message, and it would be my belief that his message is not completed yet."
Dorner was fired from the LAPD five years ago, when a department board determined that he falsely claimed another officer had kicked a suspect. Randal Quan represented him during the proceeding.
Quan's daughter, Monica, and her fiance, Keith Lawrence, were found shot dead Feb. 3 in a car in the parking structure of their Irvine condominium. Last Wednesday, after discovery of the manifesto, Irvine police announced they were searching for Dorner.
Early Thursday in the Riverside County city of Corona, police say Dorner shot at two LAPD officers who had been dispatched to protect a possible target of Dorner's. One officer's head was grazed by a bullet; the other was unharmed.
Minutes later, authorities said Dorner used a rifle to ambush two Riverside officers, killing one and seriously wounding another. The slain officer was identified as Michael Crain, 34. The other officer's identity was not released to protect his family.

Hi, My name is Nicholette, and I am the mom behind "Mixed Family Life." Hair care can be a cultural barrier, so how does one do the hair of multiracial children? As the white mother of two mixed kids, I felt it was my responsibility to learn how to properly care for their hair. This personal pursuit led me to share what I've learned through my blog where I provide tips, tricks, and product reviews so that other interracial parents don't have to make the same mistakes I've made. I also share stories, anecdotes, and lessons learned through parenting. Join me in our goofy adventures and learn some hair tips along the way.

The Chicago Tribune reported the deal is worth about US$11 million annually with incentives that could take it higher.
The Globe And Mail
The Globe And Mail
Amir 6 pts. 5 rebs 1 blk 17.7 mpg (of course playing mostly behind all star bosh)
Noah 11pts 11 reb 1.5 blk 30mpg
bigger role more confidence and taking fewer fouls will show the value of this deal. Much of what Amir does to help raps does not even show up in stat line yet. He is their best one on one defender and plays very hard.
