The girl now faces disciplinary action from the school and will be charged with filing a false police report, AISD superintendent Fred Hayes said during a news conference today.

From an AP report : Iran has assembled hundreds of advanced machines reflecting a possible intention to speed up uranium enrichment, diplomats told The Associated Press. One diplomat said more than 300 of the centrifuges have been linked up in two separate units in Iran's underground enrichment plant and a third was being assembled. He said the machines apparently are more advanced than the thousands already running underground, suggesting they could be the sophisticated IR-2 centrifuge that Tehran recently acknowledged testing. But a senior diplomat said that while the new work appeared to include advanced centrifuges, they were not IR-2s. He added that it was unclear whether the machines were above or below ground. The location is significant, because the aboveground site at Na

Easter will be "a time of great anxiety" for Christians in Indonesia, where radical Islamist have reportedly threatened to attack Christian targets.The Barnabas Fund, a charity working among Christians in Islamic countries, cited "credible reports" of threats against Christians by Jemaah Islamiah (JI), the terrorist network blamed for a number of bombings in Indonesia in recent years."Jemaah Islamiah is dedicated to creating a single Islamic state throughout Southeast Asia under shari'a law," the organization said in a dispatch on Tuesday. "It considers non-Muslims as legitimate targets and is active throughout the region."Prof. Zachary Abuza, a specialist on South-East Asia terror networks, said Wednesday reports of JI threats against Indonesian Christians this Easter did not surprise him

What is Reported speech?Reported speech is speech relayed by the narrator. That is, it is indirect speech, words attributed to but not actually (directly) spoken by a character. It is a grammatical construction in which reports are made of something that was said, written, or thought (eg, She said she was going home)El estilo indirecto (REPORTED SPEECH) lo utilizamos para contar lo que una persona ha dicho pero sin citar exactamente sus palabras.Why is Reported Speech important?It is important because it is a great tool to transmit information from a third person or people. We use this all the time. Let us use an example:Suppose Juan (your friend) says this to you : ' I am going to quit my job'Now, you want to inform Alice (another friend) what Juan told you.

Mumbai, (IANS) Last week at the press conference of the movie “123″, fiery actress Neetu Chandra is reported to have given the film’s director a taste of her acid tongue.

The incident involved a shootout with automatic rifles Friday morning in the Bourj el-Barajneh camp, south of Beirut. The officials said three people were wounded - two from the Palestinian mainstream Fatah group and one from the rival Syria-backed radical Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command.An official of the PFLP-GC in the camp, Ramez Mustafa, described the incident as a squabble between two families, the al-Bashirs and the al-Habets. He said the squabble erupted into a gunfight near the Palestinian group's offices after Friday noon prayers.Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon are generally known for lawlessness and armed groups vying for control. The Nahr el-Bared refugee camp in northern Lebanon was the scene of heavy fighting between Lebanese troops and al-Qaida-inspired Islamic militants from May to September. That battle left around 400 people dead, including Lebanese soldiers, Islamic militants and civilians. More...

The long awaited and much anticipated launch of the latest version of the Mac OS X operating system, codenamed Leopard, has resulted in the usual round of craziness from Apple’s adoring fans. Early adopters camped outside stores to be first in the queue, and what a queue it was! Early estimates suggest that around 9 percent of OS X users upgraded to Leopard in the first couple of days of it going on sale, and at $129 a pop that’s a welcome boost to the Apple coffers. There’s been a fair amount of excitement surrounding the launch but the claimed 300 ‘New’ features have been widely dismissed as hype, and one or two commentators have pointed out that a couple of them bear an uncanny resemblance to features in Windows Vista, which Leopard is clearly designed to challenge.

Our subject this week is children and AIDS.The United Nations Children's Fund, UNICEF, has just released a report on a campaign launched in October of two thousand five. UNICEF, the U.N. AIDS program and other groups wanted to bring greater attention to the needs of children affected by AIDS.The report on the "Unite for Children, Unite Against AIDS" campaign says there are signs of progress.One of the biggest problems is the spread of HIV from mothers to children. Mother-to-child transmission was the main cause of the estimated half-million new infections last year in children under the age of fifteen.UNICEF reports that several countries in eastern and southern Africa have made what it calls breakthroughs. It says they greatly increased the number of mothers who receive antiretroviral drugs. These medicines can prevent mother-to-child transmission.For example, the report says Namibia increased coverage from six percent of mothers to twenty-nine percent. That was between two thousand

RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 17 — A high school student hospitalized for more than a week with an antibiotic-resistant staph infection died on Monday, as schools across the country were reporting outbreaks of staph infections, including the antibiotic-resistant strain.The student, Ashton Bonds, 17, was a senior at Staunton River High School in Moneta, Va., and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, was diagnosed in him, his mother said.Officials shut down all 22 schools in Bedford County for cleaning today in an effort to keep the illness from spreading, after students at Staunton River organized a protest overnight Monday, using text messages and social networking sites. On Tuesday, the student organizers led the Bedford County schools superintendent, James Blevins, on a tour of the Staunton River school to show him the state of its sanitation, particularly in its locker rooms.Mr. Blevins said at a news conference today that the high school would be cleaned today by a commerci

Many Officials, However, Warn Of Its ResilienceBy Thomas E. Ricks and Karen DeYoungWashington Post Staff WritersMonday, October 15, 2007; A01The U.S. military believes it has dealt devastating and perhaps irreversible blows to al-Qaeda in Iraq in recent months, leading some generals to advocate a declaration of victory over the group, which the Bush administration has long described as the most lethal U.S. adversary in Iraq.But as the White House and its military commanders plan the next phase of the war, other officials have cautioned against taking what they see as a premature step that could create strategic and political difficulties for the United States. Such a declaration could fuel criticism that the Iraq conflict has become a civil war in which U.S. combat forces should not be involved. At the same time, the intelligence community, and some in the military itself, worry about underestimating an enemy that has shown great resilience in the past."I think it would be premature at

Most media have reported, as has the BBC in the story below, that Air Asia has ordered hundreds of new A320s.However the list provided athttp://www.edinavtn.co.uk/assets/files/PDFs/A320.pdfdated 1 September 2007, shows only 6 planes on order.Air Asia raises Airbus A320 orderMalaysian airline Air Asia has boosted the size of its fleet, ordering 100 more A320 planes from Airbus.The group has also taken out an option for a further 30 planes as it prepares for the launch of a joint venture for budget long-haul flights, Air Asia X.Air Asia declined to give details of the deal, but at catalogue prices it would be worth more than $6bn (£3bn).The deal doubles an order the group placed with European planemaker Airbus last month for 100 of the A320s.The small planes are used for short- and medium-haul flights, and are expected to be delivered after 2012.Air Asia currently has a fleet of 50 aircraft, comprising 15 A320s and 35 Boeing 737-300s.Earlier this month, the group said it was launching a

As we know, Lloyd's of London is the oldest insurance market. The following is its first half year of 2007 profit report.Looks good on profit in such a soft market.Lloyd’s has reported a pre-tax profit of £1.8 billion [approximately Cdn$3.65 billion], for the first six months of 2007, marking a 34% increase over last year. Lloyd’s saw a profit of £1.35 billion [approximately Cdn$2.74 billion] for the same period of 2006. The insurer also reported a combined ratio of 82.9% for the first half of 2007, compared to 86.0% for the same period in 2006). A Lloyd’s release contrasts this ratio with an estimated average of 93% for U.S. property and casualty insurers, 90% for U.S. reinsurers, 86% for Bermuda, and 97% for European insurers and reinsurers. “This result was driven by the favourable rating environment in 2006, together with the release of prior claims reserves,” a Lloyd’s statement says. This was balanced by the weaker, but still profitable, underwriting conditions ex

As usual, the Associated Press disguised an editorial as a real article. The title of the editorial/ article was: “More Bad Air Days for U.S. Cities.” Underneath the title it says, “Study: 10 U.S. Cities Will Have Increase Unsafe Air Days If Global Warming Continues Unabated.” It turns out that the study was conducted by the Natural Resources Defense Council in partnership with several universities, including Yale and Johns Hopkins, and was published in the scientific journal Climatic Change.First, it must be noted that the NRDC accepts funding from environmentalists and has a clear agenda according to its own website: “NRDC is the nation's most effective environmental action organization. We use law, science and the support of 1.2 million members and online activists to protect the planet's wildlife and wild places and to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all living things.” Not only is it a lobbying organization by its own admission, this would imply a confl

After weeks of anticipation, yesterday the iPhoneSIMFree software unlock solution became the first software of it's kind to become publically available. Gizmodo had exclusive access to some of the experiences of the first customers to purchase a retail copy of iPhoneSIMFree and attempt to use it to unlock their iPhones. Unfortunately, the news wasn't very good.Based on the experiences of three customers who attempted the iPhoneSIMFree unlock, numerous road blocks may exist to keep the average user from a stress-free unlocking experience. Several of the initial customers were met with an unability to unlock their iPhones at all, due to a "baseband communication error" reported by the iPhoneSIMFree application. As Gizmodo and the unlockers discovered, this was due to the existence of PIN security protecting the GSM SIM card the customers in question were attempting to use. As it turns out, the initial release of iPhoneSIMFree cannot unlock the iPhone when a PIN-protected SIM card is i

It might be tough to realize but looks like it is all over between John Abraham and Bipasha Basu. Timesnow quoted Rocky S, Bipasha’s designer friend, saying the lady declared, “I am single for the first time in ten years.” First it was rumors of John having flings with his co-stars and then it was Bipasha’s friendship with Saif Ali Khan that got the media talking too much about the rift between the couple. After Bipasha’s smooch with the famous sports person Ronaldo, media went berserk about the split rumors. Looks like, finally the media has been successful in splitting the couple. But we wish the Bollywood’s hottest couple would get back strong enough to burry the media speculation forever.

Via: Katu On August 10th, Oregon State Police troopers recovered a 1940 Plymouth sedan that was reported stolen exactly 21 years ago. The owner of the Plymouth, Bruce Rask of Rainier, reported to police in August 1986 that his 1940 Plymouth, a 4-door sedan with suicide doors that he hoped to restore to its original condition, had been stolen. "It was all rusted out," Deanna Rask said, "probably from sitting out in the rain all these years. We bought the car intending to restore it when we lived on Sauvie Island, but while we were moving from there to Columbia County, the car disappeared from the property." Rask had originally reported the stolen vehicle to the Portland Police Bureau on August 10, 1986. Today, 21 years later, the Oregon State Police recovered his stolen vehicle at a residence in Sheridan. No charges are anticipated against the man who — the investigation showed — was unaware of the stolen status of the vehicle when he purchased th

If you are wearing your helmet how it should be or are correctly buckled up in your car - that has usually only one reason -> to extort money from you - the “wealthy” foreigner or tourist.Their most common and successful scheme is to ask you for your International Driving License, which - if you can’t show one, but only a national one - would cost you some ‘tea money’ of Rp 20.000 if you ride a bike or Rp 50.000 if driving a car (more, if you appear ‘fresh from the boat’, or if you wear gold rings and necklaces all over or Dollar Bills are hanging out of your pockets). As an alternative you will be “threatened” to come with them to the Police Station or more seriously to go on standing trial in Bali’s capital Denpasar (Both this never happens, as it would mean

I have been given what some might consider the dubious honor of being dubbed an Award Winning Schmoozer. I choose to see this as a high honor indeed. “The Power of Schmooze” award was created by Mike at Ordinary Folk and Danielle at Pink Reviews to help “recognize those people that were [are] exceptionally adept at creating relationships with other bloggers by making an effort to be part of a conversation, as opposed to monologue.”The rules: If, and only if, you get The Power of Schmooze Award, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think, or have schmoozed you into submission. Link to this post and Mike so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme Optional: Proudly display the ‘The Power of Schmooze Award’ with a link to the post that you wrote. This award was passed to me by Beverly of Perpetual Expressions. I am honored and humbled that she thinks me such a great schmoozer. :) I do think of this as an honor. My husband and ev

The Oilers have reportedly signed or nearly signed Michael Nylander. That is lousy. The Penguins have made 2 additions, signing Darryl Sydor to a 2-year $5 million contract and Petr Sykora to a 2 year contract. While Sykora may find new life in Pittsburgh, I like the addition of the veteran Sydor a lot better. T Tags: Oilers+sign+Nylander Penguins+sign+Sydor+Sykora

The case of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean will go down in infamy as one of the vilest things perpetrated by the Bush administration. Putting two Border Patrol agents in prison for shooting a Mexican drug smuggler that had brought over 700 lbs of marijuana into our country. The drug runner Osvaldo Davilla gets treated like royalty to testify against them for Johnny Sutton. And this was even after being caught a SECOND time running drugs into America. And Bush won’t lift a finger of course because he’s too busy bending over to take it from México. Did you know that Mexico specifically demanded of President Bush that we prosecute Ramos and Compean for shooting one of their drug runners? We will not forget this Mr. President. In the past I had always considered Congressman Dana Rohrbacher a bit of an empty suit. In my opinion his voting record had always left a lot to be desired. But since the Ramos & Compean travesty happened he has picked up the gauntlet and slapped the Bush ad

If you ran a business and some of your employees came to tell you that workers were being sprayed with a toxic chemical, wouldn't you listen to them?  And if it turned out to be true, wouldn't you praise them for reporting the problem?  That's not what Chiquita, one of the world's biggest and best known fruit companies, did.  Instead, they have sacked two union members (Alexander Reyes and Marcos Borge) and ignored their warnings.  They've refused to negotiate with the union, which has called for an international campaign of protest.

Statistics from the UK Mesothelioma Register show that more than 2,000 North East people died of the asbestos cancer mesothelioma from 1985 to 2004. That represents an increase over the 1701 deaths reported from 1981 - 2000. The Mesothelioma Register statistics also show that more women are being affected by mesothelioma, with 251 deaths during the later period compared to 216 previously. Many of the people stricken with mesothelioma in the North East worked in shipyards and factories where asbestos was used. It is anticipated that the number of people in the UK diagnosed with mesothelioma will continue to rise until 2020.For the full article, go to www.legal-medical.uk.

This kind of sounds like entrapment but it illustrates the kind of people we are dealing with in Planned Parenthood. A pregnant eighteen year old girl posed as a fifteen year old who wanted an abortion. Under the law, a statutory rape would have to be reported to the police. The answer? Lie. We must abort this baby with no questions. We must do it for the cause. California law requires abortion clinics to report instances of statutory rape to police. The age of consent in California is 16. In covertly-filmed video of the meeting between Rose and an unnamed Planned Parenthood employee, the staffer is heard to tell Rose: “If you’re 15, we have to report it … If you’re not, if you’re older than that, then we don’t need to.” “Okay, but if I just say I’m not 15, then it’s different?” Rose asks. “You could say 16,” the worker replies, later adding, “Just figure out a birth date that works. And I don’t

HUD today released the HECM reverse mortgage program activity report for April 2007. After surpassing the 10,000 mark for the first time in March, Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) endorsements fell sharply in April to 8,041. This represents the first calendar month since July 2005 that HECM endorsements fell below their rolling 12-month average (see graph). It’s not clear if the sharp plunge from the March level is due to inter-month timing issues (Spring Break?) or if it represents a real falloff in HECM activity. What is clear is that even with the decline, HECM activity in 2007 remains well above 2006 levels: through the first four months of 2007, 37,102 HECMs were endorsed - 49% more than the 24,924 HECM loan loan endorsements in the same eriod in 2006. Total HECM in the most recent 12-month period were 97,817 - 67% higher than the 12-month period ended April 2006. On a related note, an article at Realty Times note that the reverse mortgage boom is especially impr

As per media reports, Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications quarter 1 earnings for 2007 has more than doubled on strong sales of its "Walkman" music-capable handsets. Sony totally outclassed its larger rivals Nokia and Motorola, which had reported reduced profits and a horrid little loss, respectively.Net profit for Sony Ericsson was $346 million in the first three months of the year, up from $148 million in the same period last year. Sales soared 47 percent, to $3.99 billion from $2.7 billion in the first quarter of 2006. Units shipped in the quarter reached 21.8 million, a 63-percent increase from the 13.3 million shipped in the first quarter of 2006, although considerably fewer than the 26 million phones shipped in the final quarter of last year.The lesser performance came despite a decrease in average selling prices (ASPs), from $202 per unit in the first quarter of 2006 to $182, reflecting the company's thrust into developing markets.In the year 2007 global handset market sales of

SUB-PRIME LOAN BUBBLE IN CITY by David Seifman, City Hall Bureau ChiefNew York Post 4/12/07 snip:A startling 50 percent of homeowners in five of the city's poorest neighborhoods are holding sub-prime mortgage loans, it was reported yesterday. NYU's Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy said the percentage of home-purchase loans in the sub-prime category here more than tripled from 6.5 percent in 2002 to 22.9 percent in 2005......"If [home-value] appreciation flattens out, you're going to see a lot of homeowners going into distress," warned Furman research fellow Solomon Greene. When there's a downturn in the housing market, overburdened borrowers could find themselves unable to pay the mortgages and unable to sell their homes for what they paid, which would lead to foreclosures. In many cases, sub-prime loans offer low two-year teaser rates that increase dramatically in the third year. They're also tougher to refinance. "These homeowners could be stuck in very expensive l

I decided to pull some data yesterday from Homeseekers.com to have a look at what their data says about the housing inventory situation here in Orange County. They have a feature that lets the user pull lists for cities either including or excluding properties that are in escrow; so, coming up with "in escrow" counts is a pretty simple, if time consuming, process.What I found blew me away:First, note that there isn't data for all cities, just the largest, those for which there was a decent sample size of listings and those where the data made sense (there were very few homes listed in Fraudera Ranch.) But once you get past that, the data is pretty amazing.If the Homeseekers.com data is correct, there are a total of 13.9 months of inventory currently available in OC largest cities. This is more than double what is being reported in the media elsewhere and over a year's worth the homes already on the market! I have to wonder what a seller might think if he were to know that number--he

When you apply for a new bank account, chances are the bank will do their own version of a credit check. They use a system called ChexSystem, developed by Chex Systems, Inc.The ChexSystems report basically tells the bank if you have a history of bouncing checks or leaving your previous banks holding the bag (leaving an outstanding balance). What does this mean to me?What it means to you is simple: if you mishandled your bank accounts in the past, and find yourself in the ChexSystems database, you could find it extremely difficult to open a bank account for quite some time.Basically, during the five years that the negative ChexSystems report stays in the database, you will probably be turned down by most Banks or Financial Institutions.How can I get around it? If you try to search out a bank that does not review your ChexSystems report before opening the account it will be pretty hard to find. This is due to the fact that over 80% U.S. banks and credit unions belong to the ChexSystems n
