Teen slain in Maxwell Park
I am not saying that these gang members shouldn't pay the price for thier crimes. Of course they do. There are reasons we have laws. They are to be abided by. We need to have stronger laws against gang related activity. There are people who have learned from their mistakes. I know of some personally. These young people need someone who will tell them the truth of what happens when you are associated with people who want to start "gangs" and think that it is okay to steal, kill, and traffic drugs. Like I said these kids need positive guidence. We need to strive to make and example of this incident by punnishing the criminals and teaching the youth headed done the same path. And yes God can save everyone. But it's thier choice. God is our Father. And what parent forces thier kids to love them.

It's about 30 minutes before kick off of the Chick Fil A Bowl where Auburn will be taking on the talented Clemson Tigers. I wanted to give my quick thoughts on why I believe Auburn will win this game. 1. While Clemson has a very strong running game, Auburn has faced the tandem of McFadden & Felix Jones when they played Arkansas earlier in the season & they virtually shut down the Hogs excellent rushing attack. I don't believe the Clemson RB's to be superior to those two so I think that will be a big factor in Auburn's favor. 2. The "mystery" spread option attack. While AU certainly has not had time to install the full package due to the limited amount of practice time allowed since they hired new OC Tony Franklin, I think this unknown element will cause some defensive problems for Clemson.
Food and flowers flown from Hawaii warm up a tropical dinner put on by ...
Diners got into the festive spirit of the evening, with several men in colorful Hawaiian shirts and women in summery halter-top dresses. A few guests wore shorts and flip-flops. "I wish more restaurants would think out of the box," said Tom Dott of Barnstable, who sported a plastic grass skirt over slacks.
Island foodKelley aimed to make the luau authentic by researching traditional fare and drawing from his experience attending one. Kelley ordered 70 leis and 70 pounds of fresh fish from a company in Honolulu. "It's hard to get tuna this time of year," Kelley said, because it's out of season. The chef ordered other native ingredients, including tropical fruits, Maui onions, Okinawa sweet potatoes, taro root and fresh coconuts for drinks. Kelley and his staff spent two days preparing the feast.

Jerome Kerviel: In His Own Words
On his belief that superiors tacitly encouraged his activity: "In July, 2007, I suggested we should bet on a fall in the market, but he (Kerviel's superior) did not want to. My bet proved a winner, a cash generator....I had taken a (trading) position anyway with the consent -- or at least not contested by -- my No. 1 (apparently a higher-level supervisor) who helped record the transaction....The transaction proved fruitful, and thus it was authorized, indeed supported by the hierarchy. After that, I had to take positions every day. Even during my vacation, my manager was calling me to ask what position to take. The incentive to take positions was at a maximum." .
