We were too quick to jump the gun on the Tom Glavine situation.
Although we were correct in believing that he'd decline the $13M option to pitch for the Mets next season, apparently he's still undecided about what he'll be doing in 2008.
"No one who's been around me all season could be surprised," Glavine said, "because I've said all along that I had no idea what I was going to do and that I'd need time to think it over. Five days was never going to be enough time.
Glavine said that his decisions — whether to pitch, and whether to pitch for the Mets — probably would come at about the same time he decided last year to return to the Mets, in late November or early December, but no earlier than the end of this month.
"I don't know. There's a lot of things to consider," he said.
Glavine is also unsure if returning to the Braves is a possibility. Atlanta made no effort to re-sign him last winter and apparently still has fiscal restraints despite freeing Andruw Jones and thus making significant money available to spend in other areas.
Glavine said that the Mets want him to return.
Personally, I'd be very surprised if he pitched in 2008 as a Met. My hunch is he'll be a Brave, and pitching, next season.
Hopefully, Omar Minaya and co. will move forward with the idea that Glavine is NOT part of the Mets' 2008 plans. While he can probably be counted on to make 30+ starts, and throw 200+ innings, he likely won't be top-three starter material. Best to plan without him, and then if by some stroke of fortune he chooses to pitch in New York next year, he can be the fifth starter. But the Mets can't do what they did last winter — simply wait around sitting on their hands waiting for Glavine to decide whether he'd come back.
There are two things missing from this post.
1. Over the past few yrs the Mets have gone into the off season with huge pot-holes, this yr there are very few (hence Willie comes back).
Last yr there were HUGE questions marks about Maine and Ollie, then Pedro. Right now these 3 project as 15 games winners. Mike Pelfrey, humber and Mulvey are viable options, Collazzo, Cullen, muniz also are viable.
That leaves the bullpen: Every year there are FA. hopefully this year Omar tabs 2-3 that work out better than Sho, Mota and Sele did last yr. (would that be hard?).
Gomez, Milledge, beltran and Endy are the OF core. Insert Moises, green, Jay Payton, Shannon Stewart or 1-2 veteran OFer.
every year Omar bring 3or more veterans in to compete for the rotation at #5.
So to Glavine: I agree he is not coming back. The hype, failures, distractions of #300 loom large in this seasons final grade. While I use the example of Burnett often, he is not a fixation but rather represents a younger fireball pitchers who (when emotionally balanced) is dominant (ala Dave Cone). as a teamate of josh beckett and dontrwelle he dominated in the marlins unexpected WS. he has the aura of a pitcher who (if healthy) can team with Ollie, Maine, Pedro to create the most fearsome rotation in the NL, registering double digits strikeouts on back to back nights consistently.
I think glavine in the Nats line up is very possible.
I've been hearing squeaks about Glavine with the Nats too but not buying it. If he wants money, he'll stay with the Mets and the slightly overvalued $13M. If he wants happiness he'll go back to Atlanta and be with his chums. Both teams also offer postseason hopes. What do the Nats offer?
I'm with you on Burnett, and wouldn't be surprised to see it get done. The Jays have already publicly admitted they wouldn't have done that deal again, and would be happy to unleash him. He'd do fine back in the NL.
Glavine wanted to be and wants to be a Brave. Met fans covet the players who kill us…or any Brave from the era where the Braves always killed us. Don't you get the feeling Glavine would pitch for the Braves even if they paid him $300,000.
all this winter. I appreciate all the hard work you do to put up and maintain my favorite blog, thank you.
glavine to Nats: Is feasible as his veteran presence relationship, lack of pressure proximity to Atl bode well for a farewell tour.
13M makes little sense for glavine. Consider Burnett gets around $10M. My crush on burnett has more to do with him being traded away for al Leiter, only to come BACK to the Mets (possibly) and make a difference.
Julie, I think you're right … I imagine Glavine will take a "hometown discount" and return to Atlanta. Which really stinks, because I bet he'd be willing to take half what the Mets are offering (of course, the MLBPA might have an issue with that).
Yes, I wrote all last winter (was anyone reading? another question entirely) and intend to do the same this offseason.
Thanks again for the kind words … it keeps me going. Hope to keep you entertained through this long cold winter!
Joe, the thing is, I think that Glavine goes either to the new park in Washington or he stays at Shea. I'm not sure that Schuerholz essentially "owns up to a mistake" and takes Glavine back, or even that the new ownership of Atlanta wants him. I think I said to you, at one point, that the effect that Glavine had on John Maine was pretty big. Also, I seem to remember some guy that only needs to go by one name–"Pedro," I think–said that he wants to become "the right-handed Tom Glavine." So, one could infer that, from this, at least the pitching staff wants Glavine back. Considering the effect that Pedro has on the rest of the team, I'd say that the team wants him back, too.
I'd also say that the team knows a heluva lot more about Glavine and his heart (for lack of a better word) than we do. As much as the last Sunday hurt us, think about this–do you really think that Glavine wants to be remembered that way? He's got an ego, too. I would think that he does not want to be remembered that way–anywhere he might be.
I have no doubt he can be productive…BUT this team cut bait on Piazza and Floyd and I dont seen 2008 glavine as a top starter.
AND as I look at the FA list…..I see Bartolo Colon and smile that there are possibilities.
Obviously we can only guess as to what's going on in Glavine's mind. My guess, five years ago, was that Glavine never wanted to leave Atlanta — he had a pipe dream that the Braves would pony up the dough and not let him run away to New York. I also thought he was ready to go to Atlanta last year, if they found salary room. And I think that he'll jump to Atlanta now, if they make him an offer that won't tick off the MLBPA.
But what I think doesn't mean much.
As for the Mets, of course they want him back. Where else are you going to get 30 starts and 200 innings, and not have to shell out a 3-5 year commitment to a schmuck like Jason Marquis or Jeff Suppan? And have the added bonus of a second pitching coach, fantastic team player, and all-around fine ballplayer?
The Mets — management and team — will be happy to take him back for another year. But if Atlanta calls, I don't see it happening.
Mic — I agree Colon is definitely on Omar's radar and I'd like to see him in NY. That's part of tomorrow's post.
You've got to be kidding me with some of this stuff.
First of all, to hell with Tom Glavine. All the heart I need to see was his comments not 2 hours after his awe-inspiring final start of the season. Saying something to the effect of, "it's not so bad. worse things could happen. i'm not that torn up about it." Yeah, ok, so he wants to save some face, but come on. The biggest start of his life in a Mets uniform and all he can come up with is one out? That's pathetic. I don't care if he's the nicest guy in the world and all the players like him. He stunk out loud in the biggest game of the season, as well as in all of his final 3 starts of the year, and cannot be trusted as a "viable" option or a "big-game" starter anymore. Don't even give him the satisfaction of believing for a second he's welcome back in NY. Go to Atlanta, be with your family, go 8-14 with a 5.25 ERA, and retire.
Glavine's also not going to the Nationals. If ending a career giving up 7 runs in the 1st inning to the Marlins is bad, then spending your final season as a National is catastrophic. Geography lesson: DC is closer to NY than Atlanta, so he's not really getting that much closer to home to make the move worth it.
Also, the only way I'd like to see Colon in NY in 2008 is as a member of the Yankees. Give me a break, guys. He's so untrustworthy the Angels left him off their postseason roster. He also hasn't thrown over 100 innings in a season since 2005. His ERA has been over 5 the last 2 years, and that's when he's been healthy, which hasn't been all that often. Yet, he's still going to command at least $5-mil a year simply because of his namesake. What in the world makes him so enticing to acquire? If Gagne is automatically discounted as reliable because of his recent arm issues, than so should Colon. If he's a Met next season, I'm renouncing.
isu: but the taxi cab ride to the airport might be less painfull.
re: cab ride – LOL!
isuzudude, why don't you open up and write what you REALLY think? if you hold it all in it's just going to ruin your lunch.
Strangely, I've always liked Colon, despite his ever-expanding waistline — can't really explain it.
But more than he being so enticing, is the "Omar Factor". Isn't he a typical Omar target? What with him being a guy Omar acquired while with the Expos, being Latino, and having a marquee name?
Though, Omar didn't sign Sammy Sosa (yet).

Ep. 64- Give Them An (International) Break, with Aidan Small of Fresh Saints
We're coming to the end of the last international break of the season, and it's driven me to new lows. We were asked about the most attractive Saints' manager of all time, and I took that and decided to make a "March Manager Madness Bracket" to find out who the sexiest manager in the Premier League is… If you are reading this sometime before 5:00pm on Tuesday then you should still be able to vote in round 3, otherwise be on the lookout for the business end of the competition and have your say.
Before I could come up with anything less spectacular than that, Aidan Small grabbed me and we had a chat about everything from the appointment of Mark Hughes, to the importance of Charlie Austin coming back from injury and the symptoms of Pellegrino that are still plaguing the squad. We also find out why I love Ryan Bertrand and much more on this episode of the show.
Aidan Small is on Twitter @MrAidanSmall and @FreshSaints, and you can read writing from him and others on his talented writing team by visiting freshsaints.com. I strongly encourage you to check it out, you'll be supporting a Southampton local, an aspiring journalist, and a fantastic person with each visit to the site and every time you share an article.
This is the last show before I head off to London and Southampton over the next week+. I'll bring you a special show next week from London, and a very special interview the week after when I'll be flying home and suffering the worst Jet Lag I've very experienced (at least I think that's what it will be).

Ep. 63- Huge News on Hughes with Two Views and You
Episode 63 went from being completely planned (twice) to over-crowded, to a bit shorter than normal, all within the space of a week. In the end, though, I'm more than happy with how it came together and thrilled to have gotten the chance to connect with so many wonderful people in such a short time.
The span of the last 7 days (I'm writing this about 7 days and 3 hours after Pellegrino was sacked), I've done more guest podcasts and TV appearances than in the past 2 years combined. Add to that I was on the road for work, and sharing a room with a friend of mine (who loves me plenty, but has little patience for me getting up at 4:00am to edit or stay up until midnight to record). Nonetheless, this week we have two separate, shorter interviews, and 4 voicemail messages sent in from listeners reacting to the hiring of Hughes and the win in FA Cup Quarter-final clash against Wigan.
The way the show is structured this week is a bit different. First we'll have a listen to some fan opinions on the hiring of Hughes, then speak with Saints' fan and fellow Podcaster Dave Lee (on Twitter @AODavelee) about how he became a fan, the season and the hiring of Hughes. Originally Dave and I were supposed to watch the Swansea City match and record a full episode with all the normal stuff while we were at a conference in Southern California. But, when the Swansea match was postponed and our cup match moved to Sunday, we had to settle for an abbreviated chat. We talked for much longer, with no mics around, and enjoyed a few beverages as well (getting ready for the trip to England, in my opinion).
I also had the chance to chat with a podcaster and presenter I respect very much. Jim Salveson hosts and writers "On the Left Side: The Alternative Football Show" along with Ant McGinley, for Abrupt Audio.I spoke with Jim a bit about his show (iTunes link here) and about his thoughts on our new manager Mark Hughes. Lastly, I was lucky enough to get a voicemail from Dan Jarvis (I won't lie, I actually asked him to send it in) with his thoughts on the Wigan match… it's perhaps the most concise and on-point any guest has ever been.. Maybe it's because I wasn't there asking him a ton of questions. Whatever, though, he and his dad will be on at some point in the future, and I'm truly looking forward to it!
I also joined The Independent Republic of Soccer Podcast, with Conal McCourt (Twitter at @Conall_Mcc) to discuss Hughes, Pellegrino, the season and more. Check it out here.

Ep. 62- Championship Manager (out), with Josh of The Saints FC Page
This week was a weird one. We were absolutely torn apart at Newcastle, as Saints conceded more goals than they had shots on target. The performance was gutless and it caused the likes of Freddie from The Ugly Inside, Adam Leitch of the Southern Daily Echo, and Adam Blackmore of BBC Radio Solent to begin to turn on the entire situation. All three have tried to remain neutral in their analysis and judgment, and although they have been critical in the past, this match really did it.
The same goes for me. I generally try not to be as harsh or critical as some, but this weekend put me over the edge. The manager had to go, and he did! But, Pellegrino didn't make his way out until my guest and I were done recording, the episode had been edited, and was pretty much set to go out. Nevermind, that, though, I don't mind doing a little extra work in this case.
My guest this week is Josh, who runs @thesaintsfcpage on Instagram and @SaintsFcPage on Twitter. Josh has the distinct disadvantage of speaking to me after a terrible performance from the squad and the day before Mauricio Pellegrino was sacked. This means that we were at peak frustration levels and as a result the mood can seem a bit dour. But, despite my spirits being lifted by the prospect of a new manager keeping Saints in the Premier League, I know that there are many aspects of the club that are still in trouble and need addressing. Since Josh and I talk about some of them as well, we keep most of the conversation in the episode.
So, as always, be sure to follow along, with us and the Josh, and enjoy and share the show.

Ep. 61- A Pointless Draw, with Rob Adam Evans of Fresh Saints
This week I'm joined by Rob Adam Evans to discuss the scoreless draw that took place at St. Mary's against relegation rivals Stoke City on Saturday. Despite the storm that blew in and brought snow to much of England in the days leading up to the match, volunteers and the staff at Saints gave it their all to make sure fans could get safely to and from the stadium.
Rob and I didn't talk all that much about the snow or the walkways, but we did look at the match and discuss the few positives that were there, the impact it had on our standing in the table, and what we need to do going forward in order to remain in the Premier League.
Rob was fantastic to chat with, and I hope you enjoy the hour or so of our two hour conversation about the team and life in general that made it into the podcast. Rob is on Twitter @RobAdamEvans and writes for @FreshSaints. You can find his articles and many more at freshsaints.com, and if you haven't done so yet I encourage you to check it out. The articles there are top notch.
Here's an example of some of the work you will find there from this week's guest. A Positive look into a fairly dark time at the club. CLICK HERE.

I have known Janice for around 5 years now. Back in September of 2014 (on my birthday, actually) I photographed her older sister's wedding and Janice was my point of contact who helped book me. We hit it off really well (I love her whole family), and she told me on her sister's wedding day that if she ever got married she was going to hire me no matter what.
Y'all, here we are FIVE YEARS LATER and she's booked me for her wedding this coming December. I could honestly cry. Clients like this are a dream come true for me, in all honesty. I'm so grateful and thankful for people like Janice and her fiancé Darryl. During their engagement session this past Saturday Janice had told me she had given up on love and within a few days/weeks of that she connected with Darryl on a dating app and they instantly had a connection. Digital age romance FOR THE WIN, y'all.
Anywho, I'm super pumped for this union. Janice and Darryl are such sweet souls and I'm so grateful I get to be a part of their wedding.

BEIRUT - Lebanon's military forces battling followers of a hard-line Sunni Muslim cleric closed in Monday on the mosque where they are taking cover in a southern coastal city, the national news agency said. It said a total of 12 soldiers had been killed since fighting erupted a day earlier.
The clashes in Sidon, 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of Beirut, is the latest bout of violence in Lebanon linked to the conflict in neighboring Syria. They are the bloodiest yet involving the army. At least three of those killed are officers.
The fighting has deepened tensions in Lebanon, on edge since the Syrian conflict began more than two years ago. Lebanon's sectarian makeup mirrors that of its neighbor and rival groups back different sides in the Syrian conflict.
Machine-gun fire and rocket-propelled grenade explosions caused panic among residents of Sidon, Lebanon's third largest city, which until recently had been largely spared the violence hitting other areas. Residents reported power and water outage.
The city streets appeared largely deserted Monday, and local media reported many residents were asking for evacuation from the area of the fighting, a heavily populated neighborhood in the city. The news agency said a government building was hit. The local municipality said that the city is "a war zone," appealing for a cease-fire to evacuate the civilians and wounded in the area.
The clashes erupted Sunday in the predominantly Sunni city. The army says supporters of Sheik Ahmad al-Assir opened fire without provocation on an army checkpoint.
Early Monday, al-Assir appealed to his supporters through his Twitter account in other parts of Lebanon to rise to his help, threatening to widen the scale of clashes.
Fighting also broke out in Ein el-Hilweh, a Palestinian refugee camp near Sidon, where al-Assir has supporters. Islamist factions inside the camp lobbed mortars at military checkpoints around the camp. Tension also spread to the north in Tripoli, Lebanon's second largest city. Masked gunmen roamed the city center, firing in the air and forcing shops and businesses to shut down in solidarity with al-Assir. Dozens of gunmen also set fire to tires, blocking roads. The city's main streets were emptying out. There was no unusual military or security deployment.
The army announced late Sunday additional force deployments around Beirut.
On Sunday, the clashes briefly drew supporters of Hezbollah in the city, who fired at the neighborhood that is a stronghold for al-Assir from an adjoining street. Many live in an area nearby. Last week, al-Assir supporters fought with pro-Hezbollah gunmen, leaving two killed.
Headlines of Lebanon's newspapers were all dominated by the violence in Sidon, with many seeing it as a test for the state to impose order. "An attempt to assassinate Sidon and the military," read the headline of the daily al-Safir. "Al-Assir crosses the red line," read another headline in al-Jomhouria daily. A third headline in al-Nahar read: "Yesterday war in Sidon. Today, decisiveness or settlement?"

Religious Discrimination in South Carolina

Should the government withhold benefits from people because they are religious? What if the government doesn't take your religion seriously, and considers your religious beliefs arbitrary?
Adell Sherbert worked for Spartan Mills textile plant in South Carolina for about thirty-five years as a spool tender. While working for Spartan Mills, Mrs. Sherbert joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church, a religion where the Sabbath falls on Saturday. From World War II until 1959, work on Saturdays at Spartan Mills was optional for all employees. On June 5, 1959, Mrs. Sherbert was notified that commencing the next day she would be required to work Saturday. Subsequently, when Mrs. Sherbert only reported to work Monday through Friday for six weeks in a row she was discharged from her employment.
After her involuntary discharge, Mrs. Sherbert tried to find work at other mills in the area, but could not find any suitable five-day work. After being unable to find employment respecting her religious beliefs, Mrs. Sherbert sought unemployment compensation benefits from the State of South Carolina.
Adell's request for unemployment compensation was denied. The unemployment office decided Adell did not qualify for unemployment benefits because she was unwilling to work Saturdays and thus had failed "without good cause, to accept 'suitable work when offered … by the employment office or the employer…"
The South Carolina unemployment compensation law required that people take employment when offered to them unless they had a good reason not to. The gist of the unemployment commission's decision was that declining to work on the Sabbath day was not a good enough reason to decline work.

Adell appealed the denial of unemployment benefits to the U.S. Supreme Court—and won. South Carolina's only argument for refusing benefits had been the "possibility that the filing of fraudulent claims" could occur by "unscrupulous claimants feigning religious objections to Saturday work." The Supreme Court rejected that argument because "there [was] no proof whatsoever to warrant such fears of malingering or deceit."
The Supreme Court ruled "South Carolina may not constitutionally apply" its unemployment compensation law "so as to constrain a worker to abandon his religious convictions respecting the day of rest." The Court concluded that "conditions upon public benefits cannot be sustained if they so operate, whatever their purpose, as to inhibit or deter the exercise of First Amendment freedoms." The end result was Adell Sherbert could not be denied unemployment benefits for refusing to work on her Sabbath; the First Amendment guaranteed the free exercise of religion.
Prior to this case, courts had long struggled with deciding how to resolve religious freedom claims. Adell's case clearly articulated a standard to help judges. The "Sherbert Test" limited the government's ability to "substantially burden" a person's sincere, religious beliefs unnecessarily.
The Sherbert Test (or Compelling Interest Test):
The Individual Must Show:
The person has a claim involving a sincere religious belief, AND
The government action is a substantial burden on the person's ability to act on that belief.
Then The Government Must Prove:
It is acting in furtherance of a "compelling state interest," AND
It pursued that interest in the manner least restrictive, or least burdensome, to religion.
The "Sherbert Test" became very popular – seen as an effective way by people on both sides of the political aisle to ensure the First Amendment's promise of freedom and equality for all. So much so, that when the Court significantly limited the Sherbert Test in a similar case nearly three decades later (see a prior blog post in this series, The Hallucinogenic Origins of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act), a large, bipartisan group quickly acted to reinstate the test through legislation called the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Summary: Sherbert v. Verner
Adell Sherbert was fired for refusing to work on the Sabbath after a change in company policy that occurred more than three decades after she was first employed.
South Carolina denied Adell unemployment benefits because she was unwilling to accept work on the Sabbath.
Did South Carolina violate the First Amendment by refusing to provide Mrs. Sherbert unemployment compensation?
The Supreme Court sided with Mrs. Sherbert and rejected South Carolina's argument that a "parade of horribles" would happen if she was granted unemployment benefits. South Carolina did not demonstrate a "compelling" reason for requiring Mrs. Sherbert to violate her faith.
What became known as the "Sherbert Test" was first fully articulated by the Court in this case and subsequently assisted judges in resolving religious freedom claims.
Religious freedom is not absolute; one requirement for the government to override sincere, religious practices is to demonstrate a "compelling" reason. Another is to pursue that "compelling" interest in the manner "least restrictive" to religion.
After nearly three decades, the Court significantly limited the Sherbert Test in Employment v. Smith. Legislation called The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) was then passed to reinstate the Sherbert Test.

Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian could not force the arbitration of trademark infringement claims that Kroma Makeup EU had brought against them, the U.S. Court of Appeals in Atlanta has ruled. The court found that Florida's doctrine of equitable estoppel allowed a non-signatory to an agreement—in this case, a licensing agreement between Kroma EU and By Lee Tillett Inc.—to compel arbitration, under the agreement, but only if the claims at issue fell within the scope of the agreement's arbitration clause. Because the trademark dispute between Kroma EU and the Kardashian sisters was not covered by the arbitration clause in the Tillett-Kroma licensing agreement, a trial court had properly found that Kroma EU could refuse to arbitrate its trademark claims (Kroma Makeup EU, LLC v. Boldface Licensing + Branding, Inc., January 18, 2017, Carnes, E.).

Prosecutor Says Smuggling Guns Onto Planes Has Been Happening For Years
Human Rights Fighter
NEW YORK (AP) — A brazen scheme in which guns — even an AK-47 rifle — were taken onto passenger jets for years in carry-on luggage was described by a Brooklyn prosecutor Tuesday as a terrorism threat that should cause the airline industry to end the practice of letting some workers enter airports without security screening. "I hope this is a wakeup call for the nation," Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson said at a news conference. "This was an egregious breach of our nation's air traffic security."

NEW YORK (AP) — A brazen scheme in which guns — even an AK-47 rifle — were taken onto passenger jets for years in carry-on luggage was described by a Brooklyn prosecutor Tuesday as a terrorism threat that should cause the airline industry to end the practice of letting some workers enter airports without security screening.
"I hope this is a wakeup call for the nation," Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson said at a news conference. "This was an egregious breach of our nation's air traffic security."
Thompson's comment came as he described a case brought against five people, including an airline baggage handler who was charged a day earlier by federal authorities in Atlanta.
Thompson said he was not trying to scare anyone. But he said it's "truly frightening" what investigators learned after a probe that started as a way to reduce gun violence in Brooklyn.
He said Mark Quentin Henry, 45, who was fired by Delta Air Lines in 2010 after three years for abusing its buddy pass system, took guns aboard at least 17 commercial airliners this year as they traveled from Atlanta to both New York City airports.
The prosecutor said Henry was given the guns, sometimes in airport restrooms, by Eugene Harvey, 31, an Atlanta baggage handler who worked for Delta before he was fired as a result of the investigation.
Three others were arrested on gun charges in the probe.
Henry's lawyer, Terence Sweeney, said his client, held without bail, "maintains his innocence and he's looking forward to his day in court."
Henry was arrested Dec. 10. Investigators videotaped him in the Atlanta airport prior to a morning flight to Kennedy International Airport in New York, where he was videotaped leaving the airport and was followed to his residence in Brooklyn.
Thompson said when Henry was confronted by investigators, he said there were guns in a knapsack in his apartment.
"He said: 'I just brought them from Atlanta on the plane. He made that admission," Thompson said.
The prosecutor said investigators discovered that guns were individually wrapped and that ammunition was in the bag next to them "that he could have just put together and started shooting."
He said the scheme "really poses a threat in terms of terrorism."
"They can put guns on a plane, they could easily have put a bomb," Thompson said.
Thompson said 153 guns, almost all of which were bought in Georgia, were seized during the seven-month gun trafficking probe, which led investigators to Henry and his frequent flights between Atlanta and New York.
The prosecutor said investigators believe he has been transporting guns on planes for at least five years, using companion passes available because his mother had worked for airlines for years before retiring.
On Dec. 10, Henry flew with 16 weapons, including four 9mm pistols, a .380-caliber pistol and ammunition and magazines, Thompson said. The prosecutor said he flew with the AK-47 in November.
He said it was likely he chose airplanes for the speed and ease of the travel.
"We didn't know for sure that he was transporting guns on a plane until Dec. 10," Thompson said, though he added that Delta was notifying investigators each time Henry boarded a plane.
Delta spokesman Morgan Durrant said Delta has cooperated with authorities.
"We take seriously any activity that fails to uphold our strict commitment to the safety and security of our customers and employees," he said.
In a statement Tuesday, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport spokesman Reese McCranie called safety and security its "highest priority."
He said all employees must pass extensive criminal history record checks, security threat assessments, and security training prior to being approved for access to secured areas and employees are subjected to continuous vetting and random inspections.
"In light of these recent events, we are reviewing the security plan and will make the appropriate changes to prevent future incidents of this nature," McCranie added. The airport is considered among the world's busiest.
The Transportation Security Administration, which is responsible for screening airline passengers, said in a statement that it takes "potential for insider threats at airports very seriously."
It said security threat assessments and airport criminal checks made before people are hired is an ongoing process that includes random checks.
"TSA continues to closely partner with law enforcement on this investigation and, where possible, will use the findings from the investigation to improve current processes," it said.
Associated Press writers Phillip Lucas in Atlanta and Joan Lowy in Washington contributed to this report.

My name is Andrew Ison and, as a celebrant with Humanists UK, I am available to lead ceremonies in Yorkshire and the north of England – and I'm willing to travel much further if it can be arranged. I am a thoughtful, creative and dynamic person with a wide experience of public speaking, script writing and as a leader of ceremonies.
Through the training offered by Humanists UK, I am qualified as a celebrant of weddings and partnerships, namings and funerals. Over the last few years, it has been my honour and privilege to prepare and lead a wide range of ceremonies for people who seek to celebrate life in a way which is honest and relevant. It has been such a positive and rewarding experience to support people who have no religious faith but want to mark the great milestones of life in a public and meaningful way.
In such ceremonies, people offer themselves to each other in the presence of their families and friends – and it is wonderful when such an event can use the words, symbols, music and places that mean something to you, the couple. I aim to create such a ceremony in partnership with you, leading a celebration that expresses all that you want to share with each other on such an important day.
Humanist and non-religious ceremonies are powerful, diverse and creative experiences. Working in partnership, we create memories which rich in symbolism in language so that they can truly celebrate the occasion be it the commitment of marriage, the joy of a naming or the sadness of a funeral. Ceremonies can be supportive and uplifting, quiet and reflective, emotional and funny – but they are always unique occasions which touch the lives of all who attend.
I am also more than happy to plan and lead other celebrations for you, your family and your friends, such as anniversaries, renewal of vows, recovery from an operation or illness, adoption, coming of age, birthdays, funerals for pets, memorial services or any range of other milestones which are important to you.
I would be delighted to be able to be a part of any of your celebrations and ceremonies so, if you would like to know more, please read through the pages of this site and contact me for further details.
I am available to organise and lead weddings, partnership, namings and funerals ceremonies in Yorkshire and the north of England. I am happy to discuss travelling further afield.

Diablo IIINewsPVP Update for Diablo III
PVP Update for Diablo III
A dueling ability is coming with patch 1.0.7, other PVP features are still being worked on
By Jennifer Davis on December-27-2012 (9 years ago)
The long-promised Blizzard blog about bringing Player Versus Player (PVP) to Diablo III has arrived, with Game Director Jay Wilson giving a look into the current design process. The Team Deathmatch system that was initially shown back at Blizzcon 2011 was tested further, and didn't bring the sort of gameplay that the designers were looking for.
For the immediate future, a simple dueling system is scheduled to be added with patch 1.0.7, the next patch being worked on. The developers are still working on coming up with the best way to add more involved PVP combat to Diablo III, but for the next patch it's just dueling. More information about dueling is promised "in the next few days".
Click through for the full post from Jay Wilson.
Update: See the Patch 1.0.7 Guide for all the latest patch info!
The development team has been working really hard on the features, content, and systems for PvP in Diablo III and I wanted to take some time to give an update on where we're at.
Of course, our goal has been to release our Team Deathmatch mode as soon as possible, but we don't want to put anything out there before it's ready. Right now, Team Deathmatch isn't yet where we want it to be, so I want to provide some insight into where we are at in the development process.
The State of PvP
Our original intent with PvP for Diablo III was to provide more formal support for the dueling community that existed in Diablo II. We wanted to give players some kind of structure that would not only make it easier for you to duel with one another, but also allow you to have duels that were team-based. This is how our Team Deathmatch mode emerged, and it's been instrumental in making a lot of improvements to Diablo III. But in continuing to develop this mode, playtest it, and put it in front of other developers within the company, we've found that it falls short of our expectations for a high-quality Blizzard experience.
Putting people into an arena and letting them hurl fireballs and swing crazy-ass swords at one another always has an element of fun to it. I imagine it's no surprise to anyone reading this blog that people like battling each other in video games, so if you had the chance to play our Team Deathmatch at one of the BlizzCons where we featured it you might not understand why we'd say that we don't feel the current mode is good enough.
Well, Here's Why…
For us it comes to a few issues, one of which is depth. Simply fighting each other with no other objectives or choices to make gets old relatively quickly. We've brought a lot of people in to try out Team Deathmatch and, while some found it entertaining, most of our testers didn't feel like it was something they'd want to do beyond a few hours. Without more varied objectives, or very lucrative rewards, few saw our current iteration as something they'd want spend a lot of time in.
Another is class balance. Like Diablo II, Diablo III was designed to be a PvE-first kind of game, where we never compromised on player abilities in the name of future PvP balance. We want to be able to carry over as many of the crazy runes, items, and skills as possible, with their crazy effects, and alter them as little as possible. In a casual PvP mode, something equivalent to a WoW Battleground, this would be fine, but Team Deathmatch felt very hardcore, and it put a laser focus on class balance in a way that we didn't think would be good for the game as a whole.
Certainly, we've gotten a lot of benefits from the development of Team Deathmatch, especially in the areas of controls and combat model tuning, but at this point we don't believe it's the experience we feel it needs to be in order to ship, so we will be shelving it for now and exploring other options.
So, our core problem is that our Team Deathmatch mode doesn't feel like a great addition to Diablo III. It's not up to the quality that Blizzard gamers expect or that we feel you deserve, and it doesn't really fit with our goals for the rest of the game. The question now is what are we going to do about it?
First and foremost, if our original goal was to support dueling, then we're not achieving that goal very well if we don't actually give players a way to duel in-game. You've been asking us for dueling for a while, so we're going to add it to the game soon. Dueling is currently scheduled to release with patch 1.0.7, which is set to hit sometime after the new year. (We'll be providing details about that feature very soon, so stay tuned.)
But as I mentioned before, we are going back to the drawing board on a new replacement for Team Deathmatch, something that feels more appropriate for Diablo III. And as we stated previously, regardless of when we release it, it'll be a free addition to the game. Team Deathmatch provided us with the foundation that we needed and served us well. Hell, it may even still be added in some form in the future. For now, though, we're going to first be looking at new modes that play up to the strengths of the character classes, focus on objectives beyond just defeating other players, and possibly even integrate PvE elements and rewards.
Keepin' It Real
We wanted to be upfront and honest with the community about where this particular project is at. It's certainly not ideal, and I know some of you got to play Team Deathmatch at BlizzCon and are probably thinking, "It seemed good enough! Just give us that." I also know how I feel whenever a game or game feature I'm looking forward to is delayed, but, as with all things Blizzard, we want to be sure that the features we add to Diablo III are actually worth it and will make the game better, and PvP is no exception.
While we don't have any further information to share right now about our plans for additional PvP modes, we really look forward to posting more about dueling in the next few days.

Sanofi Pasteur Posts Positive C. Diff Vaccine Findings
By R&D Editors | May 19, 2014
Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccines division of Sanofi, presented Phase 2 trial (H-030-012) results for an investigational vaccine for the prevention of Clostridium difficile (C. diff) infection (CDI) at the 114th General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM). The Phase 2 trial met its primary objectives, reactions were generally mild and of short duration, and the candidate vaccine generated an immune response against C. diff toxins A and B. These toxins are largely responsible for CDI, which can cause potentially life-threatening gut inflammation and diarrhea.
Based on the Phase 2 results, a high-dose plus adjuvant vaccine formulation administered on days 0, 7 and 30 was selected for further evaluation in the global efficacy program, Cdiffense. This ongoing Phase 3 trial began in August 2013 with plans to include up to 200 sites in 17 countries.
"C. diff infection threatens the many people who frequently use antibiotics, as well as older hospitalized patients and residents in long-term healthcare facilities," said Jamshid Saleh, M.D., who participated in Phase 2 and is currently the principal investigator for the Phase 3 trial at Northern California Clinical Research Center in Redding, Calif. "It would be great if we could offer patients a way to help prevent this contagious and debilitating disease versus just treating it after it happens."
The Phase 2 vaccine study was a randomized, multi-center trial split into two stages. The first, conducted with 455 volunteers, was placebo-controlled, double-blind and designed for dose and formulation selection. The second, which included 206 additional volunteers, was designed to compare the dose and formulation chosen in the first stage against two alternate dosing schedules. Volunteers in the study were adults aged 40-75 years who were at risk of CDI due to impending hospitalization or residence in a long-term healthcare facility.
"In this trial, we saw a significant increase in antibody production against C. diff toxins, across all dosing schedules and volunteer ages," said Guy De Bruyn, director, Clinical Development, Sanofi Pasteur, who presented the data at ASM. "These results provide a strong foundation for our efforts to develop and offer a vaccine to prevent first occurrence CDI."
In Stage 1 of this trial, volunteers were randomized into one of five study groups: high-dose or low-dose vaccine either with or without adjuvant, or placebo. Each formulation was administered on days 0, 7 and 30. Immune responses were measured using both Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), which assesses anti-toxin A and B immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations, and Toxin Neutralization Activity (TNA), which measures anti-toxin A and B neutralizing activity. Composite ELISA ranking analysis determined that the high-dose plus adjuvant vaccine formulation (Group 3) generated the greatest immune response over a 60-day period. ELISA results also showed four-fold increases in the development of detectable antibodies for both toxins A and B.
The high-dose plus adjuvant vaccine formulation was then selected for further study in Stage 2 of the trial, which compared its use across three schedules: days 0, 7 and 30 (Group 3, N=101); days 0, 7 and 180 (Group 6, N=103); and days 0, 30 and 180 (Group 7, N=102). Analysis was conducted on days 0, 7, 14, 30, 60, 180 and 210.
Increased immune responses were observed in all vaccine groups and with each dose, according to ELISA and TNA. Overall, Group 3 demonstrated the most favorable immune profile over the 30-, 60- and 180-day periods, particularly in volunteers aged 65-75 years.
The safety profile of all vaccine doses was deemed acceptable throughout the Phase 2 study. Reactions were monitored until day 210 and were generally Grade 1 (classified as mild), of short duration, did not lead to study discontinuations, and were not considered clinically significant.
"Sanofi Pasteur's investigational vaccine stimulates a person's immune system to fight C. diff toxins upon exposure and, ultimately, may help prevent a future C. diff infection from occurring," said Saleh. "Like other toxoid vaccines—such as tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough—this investigational vaccine targets the symptom-causing toxins generated by C. diff bacteria and could be an important public health measure to help protect individuals from infection."

The item The autumn of the ace, Louis de Bernières represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in Randwick City Library.
De Bernières, Louis
trueFrith, Nicholas John
Daniel Pitt has seen a lot of action. He was an RAF fighter in the First World War and an espionage agent for the SOE in the Second. Now the conflicts he faces are closer to home. Daniel and Rosie's marriage has fractured beyond repair and Daniel's relationship with their son, Bertie, has been a failure since Bertie was a small boy. But after his brother Archie's death, Daniel is keen for new perspectives. He first travels to Peshawar to bury Archie in the place he loved best, and then finds himself in Canada, avoiding his family and friends back in England. But some bonds are hard to break. Daniel and Bertie's different experiences of war, although devastating, also bring with them the opportunity for the two to reconnect. If only they can find a way to move on from the past. Louis de Bernieres' new novel is a moving account of an extraordinary life in extraordinary times. Daniel is a flawed but captivating hero, and this coming-of-old-age story illuminates both the effect of two World Wars on a generation and the irrepressible spirit and love that can connect families despite great obstacles

Q: How to generate a 32 byte private key? I am facing an issue while using the crypto class of salesforce
Below is the code snippet:
Blob cryptoKey = Crypto.generateAesKey(128);
System.debug('KeyBlobSize:-'+cryptoKey.size());
System.debug('Blob:-'+EncodingUtil.base64Encode(cryptoKey));

With different bit size, I get 16, 24, and 32 bytes key respectively. Now if I store this key as string after doing a base64Encode for all different algorithms
Blob newcryptoKey128 = Blob.valueOf('xGhMrqIixKvQ4S1bqv8CYw==');
Blob newcryptoKey192 = Blob.valueOf('kBsCore1SUxZ8sTxSU5FCGqUGLhJ8IGq');
Blob newcryptoKey256 = Blob.valueOf('Wc0gT/1xfFAjlRwip7l7MmEdjw7DzMXamEHLjyCOQQ0=');

Now if I check the size of these blob values it got increased.
system.debug('Size1:-'+newcryptoKey128.size());
system.debug('Size2:-'+newcryptoKey192.size());
system.debug('Size3:-'+newcryptoKey256.size());

For 128 bits size , it became 24 bytes
For 192 bits size , it became 32 bytes
For 256 bits size , it became 44 bytes
It means I am generating the key with 256 bits size but I cant use the same in the encrypt code:
Blob data = Blob.valueOf('Test data to encrypted');
Blob encryptedData = Crypto.encryptWithManagedIV('AES256', newcryptoKey256, data);

Because it throws an error

Exception: System.InvalidParameterValueException: Invalid private key. Must be 32 bytes.
  StackTrace: Class.System.Crypto.encryptWithManagedIV: line 55, column 1

Reason: for 256 bits the size got increased to 44 bytes. Is it because of EncodingUtil.base64Encode or Blob.valueOf? What's the solution for this?

A: Above error is thrown because the private key is not 32 bytes. The expected and actual private key byte calculation is mismatching.
Recommended approach to resolve this
String algorithmName = 'AES256';
    Blob privateKey = Crypto.generateAesKey(256);
    Blob data = Blob.valueOf('Test data to encrypted');
    Blob encryptedData = Crypto.encryptWithManagedIV(algorithmName, privateKey, data);
    // In order to get the text out of a blob
    String encodedString = EncodingUtil.base64Encode(encryptedData);

While decoding use EncodingUtil.base64Encode to convert it from string to blob and then decrypt the same.
Blob decodedData=EncodingUtil.base64Decode(encodedString);
Blob decryptedData = Crypto.decryptWithManagedIV(algorithmName, privateKey, decodedData);

Additionally, If you want to you want to specify your own initialization vector then use this method encrypt(algorithmName, privateKey, initializationVector, clearText) for encryption. Refer Crypto class for same.
Specifically, regarding above issues find below observations
Blob cryptoKey = Crypto.generateAesKey(128);
System.debug('KeyBlobSize:-'+cryptoKey.size());
System.debug('Blob:-'+EncodingUtil.base64Encode(cryptoKey));
String Str =  EncodingUtil.base64Encode(cryptoKey);
Blob newcryptoKey128 = EncodingUtil.base64Decode(Str);
system.debug('Size1:-'+newcryptoKey128.size());
Blob data = Blob.valueOf('Test data to encrypted');
Blob encryptedData = Crypto.encryptWithManagedIV('AES128', newcryptoKey128, data);

Above snippet will give the desired results.

A: I got the issue, The issue is with
EncodingUtil.base64Encode(cryptoKey), when we do that encoding.util it increases the byte size. Thats the reason I am getting 24,32,44 bytes for 128,192 and 256 bits.
In my example above, when I use this below line, encoding util the extra bytes got added to it
System.debug('Blob:-'+EncodingUtil.base64Encode(cryptoKey));
System.debug('Blob:-'+EncodingUtil.base64Encode(cryptoKey).length());
So, while decoding it instead of blob.valueOf we should use EncodingUtil.base64Decode(cryptoKey);
This will give the correct number of bytes.
The below updated code snippet will work perfectly fine:
Blob cryptoKey = Crypto.generateAesKey(128);
System.debug('KeyBlobSize:-'+cryptoKey.size());
System.debug('Blob:-'+EncodingUtil.base64Encode(cryptoKey).length());

Blob newcryptoKey128 = EncodingUtil.base64Decode('xGhMrqIixKvQ4S1bqv8CYw==');
Blob newcryptoKey192 = EncodingUtil.base64Decode('kBsCore1SUxZ8sTxSU5FCGqUGLhJ8IGq');
Blob newcryptoKey256 = EncodingUtil.base64Decode('Wc0gT/1xfFAjlRwip7l7MmEdjw7DzMXamEHLjyCOQQ0=');

system.debug('Size1:-'+newcryptoKey128.size());
system.debug('Size2:-'+newcryptoKey192.size());
system.debug('Size3:-'+newcryptoKey256.size());

Blob data = Blob.valueOf('Test data to encrypted');
Blob encryptedData = Crypto.encryptWithManagedIV('AES256', newcryptoKey256, data);
String encodedString = EncodingUtil.base64Encode(encryptedData);
system.debug('encodedString :-'+encodedString);

Home Business LEC Promises Stable Electricity in 2019
LEC Promises Stable Electricity in 2019
Alvin Worzi
Mr. Howe, deputy managing director for operation, transmission and distribution at the Liberia Electricity Corporation, speaks with newsmen.
The deputy managing director for operations, transmission, and distribution at the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC), Joseph Y. Howe, says the corporation is poised to provide stable electricity across the country in 2019.
Mr. Howe spoke to newsmen yesterday at the LEC's Bushrod Island office in Monrovia when he indicated that the corporation will provide uninterrupted 24hrs electricity and increased access to power next year.
"We want to double the number of electricity users by 2019 and also reduce the price of electricity. The corporation will ensure that those using LEC's current will not turn their machines off in 2019," Mr. Howe said.
According to him, 80 staffs of the LEC are currently in Nigeria and are undergoing training in networking, power distribution, and repair of transformers, an initiative that will impact power distribution in the upcoming year.
"We have 34-35 megawatts and hope to sustain it in 2019 and add more people to the network from the hydro. Because of the management contract, this year has been tough for us; but the LEC is poised now to better handle connection and other problems," he said.
He said people who are stealing electricity want legitimate power and because they cannot have it they get involved in power theft.
"We will also reduce the length of time customers take to get power. We will change the story and have a stable access to power. We continue to get some of the big businesses using LEC's power and more are requesting for power," he said.
He said the corporation has brought about 5,000 meters into the country, which will be used to replace customers whose meters are damaged, and also for people who have paid for their meters and are yet to be connected.
"The network is now more stable as compared to the past. We continue to be aggressive with the maintenance program. We also experience that a lot of transformers are being damaged, which is due to the demand on the network," he said.
He said President Weah called on all government officials not to complain of problems as they have been appointed to solve a problem.
"The reason we have planned to breach the gap between supply and demand is that there is a huge gap between the power that is being generated and to the one being supplied," he said.
He said the government has reduced its debt from US$9 million to US$800,000, which is welcoming news for the LEC.
"We still have challenges at the LEC in procuring meters and other connective materials. The LEC's problem has now been elevated to a national security issue and gives the corporation the opportunity to do single sourcing. We are moving forward with all procurement processes and we are now procuring 90-100 pieces of transformers," Mr. Howe said.
"We are not at the level the corporation should be moving in power distribution, because the plan called for increased access to electricity by 70 percent by 2030, which the corporation is below. We will not reach the 70 percent if the corporation keeps moving at the same level," he noted.
He said negotiations with the Minister of State is ongoing to allow donors and partners to align their programs with the current government's goal.
"We don't want to see any contract lasting for more than three years, as it is supposed to move as quickly as possible. We need to move from PowerPoint, excess sheet and emails to actual work. Our people want to see that poles are planted and that power is distributed to their homes and businesses," he said.
He added that the corporation has launched a campaign to connect street lights for the Christmas season, along with restoring broken poles.
"We have completed Fish Market to Vamoma, ELWA junction, Duport Road junction, Broad Street and other parts of Monrovia. Beginning today, we will be visiting various communities from 7 P.M. to 10 P.M., thereby ensuring that our people have full access to electricity during the festive season," he said.

High-Speed Rail is a financial train wreck in the making.
High-Speed Rail is a financial train wreck in the making. Your editorial of Nov. 30 outlining the initial grossly under-estimated construction costs and the current cost overruns is spot on.
However, that description of the financial disaster didn't even include reasonable estimates of projected fare revenues compared to the associated operating costs, which will make the financial picture even worse. California taxpayers will be burdened with this disaster for many, many years to come.
A Supreme Court justice, in voting to overturn a legal precedent, once wrote, "Too often wisdom never comes, so one ought not to reject it merely because it comes late." The governor and/or the Legislature should not reject the ample evidence that California high-speed rail is, or is obviously becoming, a boondoggle.

La Football League Second Division 1994-1995 è stato il 68º campionato inglese di calcio di terza divisione, nonché il 3º con la denominazione di Second Division.

Stagione

Formula
In previsione della riduzione dei club della Premier League, destinati a scendere da 22 a 20 nel 1995-1996, la Football League fu costretta a rimodulare il numero di promozioni e retrocessioni degli altri campionati professionistici. Per quanto riguarda la Second Division, salirono nella divisione superiore due squadre anziché tre (il campione di lega più la vincente dei play off), mentre a scendere nella categoria inferiore furono le ultime cinque della graduatoria (a differenza delle precedenti edizioni veniva dunque coinvolta anche la 20ª classificata).

If you are looking for simple and cute appetizer for Easter, then look no further! This is as easy as it gets, yet looks super adorable! Try it and I guarantee it will be a hit! You could pair this appetizer with an Easter bunny bread filled with dip. Then you have a bunny and his carrot. Also, you can eat the veggies from the carrot with the dip. Happy Easter!
1. Arrange slices of carrots in a narrow triangle shape.
2. Add broccoli florets in a heaping pile at top of the carrot triangle to make the carrot!
That's it! Like I said. Easy. Cute. Perfect.

La Cappella di Sant'Anna è una cappella gentilizia incorporata nel palazzo della famiglia Stella che è un palazzo storico di Modugno (BA).
Sorge in via Conte Rocco Stella.

Si ricorda il nome del rettore di questa cappalle nel 1774: don Luigi de Rossi.

Il suo portale è squadrato ed è contornato da stipiti scanalati e ornati da bassorilievi di fiori. Esso è sormontato da un timpano triangolare spezzato con al centro uno stemma, il cui disegno però non ci è pervenuto integro. Forse è stato cancellato. L'interno della cappella presenta una volta a crociera adornata da bassorilievi. Conserva l'altare di Sant'Anna con un pregevole dipinto secentesco che raffigura la Santa e Maria e una statua in cartapesta di Cristo deposto.

Wow, that was a surprise, somehow I'd missed the voting altogether on this challenge. Didn't even realise I was in the finals. Guess I should get on with the next round.
