Are they any good? I am in Istanbul, with a CELTA cert (pass 'A' no less!), a degree, but only 3 months' experience. They are the only response I've had (so far) offering work in Istanbul, although it is very early days and I plan to go door knocking in the next couple of days. Any help appreciated! Thanks Back to top lucia79Joined: 18 Jun 2011Posts: 156 Posted: Wed Jan 11, 2012 9:03 am Post subject: If you do an advance search or go through previous pages on this forum you'll find some people's experiences with Leeds Academy. I have a friend who got a k-12 school job through them, but they didn't want to take responsibility for getting a work permit neither did the school.

Back to top mestuart77Joined: 11 Feb 2009Posts: 7Location: San Francisco, CA Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2012 6:33 am Post subject: My experience with Leeds I had been teaching at a language institute for adults and my contract was coming to an end, so I was putting out feelers for a new job. I have taught children before, so I applied for many different jobs, including Leeds. I was contacted immediately for a phone interview, which lasted about 20 minutes, most of which was spent by Hilal telling me that the location they were trying to hire for was filled with spoiled kids who had no discipline. I'm paraphrasing, but she was very clear about the problems. I thanked her for her honesty, as most of the time the teachers are hoodwinked. I decided to meet with the Director of the schools, and on the car ride to the location, the driver (who worked for Leeds) spent about 30 minutes telling me the children were terrible, likening it to a movie he had seen about a teacher in Harlem (which I suppose was his version of 'nightmare' students...I'm not sure...) At the interview with the Director, about 20 minutes of the 25 minute interview was taken up with 'disciplinary procedures' and how teachers needed to be very firm with the classes in order to maintain control. I knew then that I didn't want the job, but I finished the interview politely and went on my way. A few days later, Hilal called me to say the Director was very impressed and they wanted me to start immediately, so I told her that all 3 of the people I met regarding this position seemed overly concerned with the negative behavior of the students and that gave me pause. I certainly understand children acting like children- you can't expect a classroom of 10-year-olds to be mature, but I felt like something was terribly wrong at the school and I just didn't want to chance it. Maybe I overreacted, I don't know. She said she understood but it was clear she was not happy with my decision to pass on this job, and she never contacted me for any other positions, which is fine because I found something else, anyway. Leeds is not the only game in town.

However the school they both worked for were quick to resolve any problems the teachers had so they both never had to contact leeds for any assistance. they paid for their own rp even though the contract stated that leeds or the school would pay. hope that helps Back to top rizlercmJoined: 15 May 2012Posts: 1 Posted: Mon May 21, 2012 5:59 pm Post subject: going in Sept! I am going this September to teach in Istanbul with Leeds. Any advice from previous people who did this? This is my first time teaching abroad. Thanks! Back to top ms42908Joined: 23 May 2012Posts: 2 Posted: Thu May 24, 2012 8:51 pm Post subject: I'm also considering a position beginning this September with Leeds, so advice is much appreciated! Rizler I tried to pm you but am new and have to write 5 posts first. Oh well. We should chat if I decide to take the position. Would love to hear from anyone with previous experience with them too though! I'm interested in hearing about the adequacy of the governmental health insurance offered, if you felt the hours were reasonable (did you have much time to travel/see the city?), if they were successful in securing you a work visa, if the school really provided curriculum, how much prep time was required in addition to class time... Thanks! Back to top cartagoJoined: 19 Oct 2005Posts: 282Location: Iraq Posted: Thu May 24, 2012 11:23 pm Post subject: I worked at Leeds about a couple years ago. My problem was that the behavior of the students was TERRIBLE. It was to the point that I just could not teach them. There was no effective way to discipline them, no detention, no office referrals, nothing. I was given no support from the administration. Judging from what other people have posted on here, this seems like a common problem with all of the schools. Leeds has contracts with a number of religious schools in Turkey, although the religion because of government regulations is pretty low key. I think the schools may be connected to Fethullah Gulen but not sure. Back to top clifton10Joined: 21 Mar 2010Posts: 71Location: Jakarta Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 10:06 am Post subject: Anyone had any dealings with Leeds Akademi? Hello Rizler and ms, I currently work for Ledds at a K-12 school and I can answer some of your questions. Insurance: I was never told about the government health scheme, and probably because I didn't start with Leeds until well into the school year. Work permits: I had no problem obtaining mine. They'll pay you on time and the hours and work days are good, usually Monday to Friday in the K-12 schools. But I have to agree with Cartago, the kids can be a bloody pain; they at times don't want to learn English and there's no Turkish TA to disipline them. So bring lots of patience with you. Leeds was good, compared with the language school I worked at before here in IST. But I'll be going back to SE Asia next month, so keep asking people on this post; the more opinions the better. But there is one postitive about working with some of the schools through Leeds: You will get a free lunch during school days. Oh, you will have time to explore Istanbul, at least I do. Hope this helps. Good luck, C10 Back to top vashdown2Joined: 14 Feb 2007Posts: 124Location: Paris, France Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2012 9:51 pm Post subject: Thank you!

Graphic Elements
DU Logos
The logo with the full University name, called a "word mark," is the preferred DU logo and should be used when space permits. The logo is the University's required graphic identity element and must appear at least once on all internal and external University communications.
- The logo may not be altered in any way and should not appear with any other mark, symbol, logo or logotype.
- The institutional identity mark may not be combined with any campus mark. Put space between the institutional identity mark and the campus mark if both are used, e.g., one could be used on the front cover and one could be used on the back cover.
The DU Logo and 3 Color Bars
These elements used together help brand Davenport University as a leader in business, technology and health.

CLERMONT, Fla. – The MIT softball team had a very successful day on Tuesday, defeating Indiana Tech, 5-0, and St. Thomas (Minn.), who is ranked No. 16 in the country for Division III, with a score of 2-1. The Engineers, who have just one more day and two more games left in sunny Florida, are now 5-4 for the season and 3-4 for Spring Trip.
Against Indiana Tech, MIT took an early 2-0 lead at the bottom of the first when sophomore Sarah Van Belleghem (Los Gatos, Calif.) and freshman Alexandra Marshall (Glen Head, N.Y.) scored off an error by the first baseman that also allowed sophomore Ellie Fodor (Trenton, Mich.) to reach first.
The score remained at 2-0 until the bottom of the fifth, when MIT scored three more runs. Off a triple by senior Leah Alpert (Needham, Mass.), Fodor and freshman Tori Jensen (Holliston, Mass.) each scored a run. Alpert scored the final run in the game, ending the game with a score of 10-5.
Fodor took the win in this game, allowing only one hit and striking out six. She is now 3-2.
St. Thomas took the lead at the bottom of the second inning of the second game when Emily Gregory scored the first run of the game. The score remained at 2-0 until the top of the sixth, when Van Belleghem and senior Anna Christensen (Vernon Hills, Ill.) added two runs for MIT after a double by Jensen. With St. Thomas unable to make up the difference, the game ended with a score of 2-1 in MIT's favor.
Marshall pitched the entire second game, allowing only three hits, one run and striking out 11. She is now 2-2 during her first collegiate season.
On the Engineers' final day in Florida on Wednesday, they will face Oberlin at 9:00 p.m. and the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point at 11:00 a.m. before returning to MIT.

Pa. Woman Charged With Stabbing Boyfriend
ANNVILLE, Pa. (AP) - A central Pennsylvania woman has been charged with stabbing her live-in boyfriend of five years to death during a domestic dispute that reportedly began as an argument over her feeding the dog before dishing out food for him.
Police say 55-year-old Pamela Poorman is charged with killing 51-year-old Larry Coletti last Thursday night in Annville Township, Lebanon County. Court records indicate Poorman took out a protection from abuse order against Coletti last year but later withdrew it.
Police say the couple had returned to their Annville Township home with takeout food and an argument began that later turned physical. Police allege that Poorman told them she picked up a knife to scare Coletti but ended up stabbing him. She later said "she was being beaten and she had to stop it.''
Poorman was taken to Lebanon County Prison without bail.

For people who enjoy old collectibles as a way to keep in touch with the past, a trip to an estate sale can be a real treat. Jewelry lovers can usually find at least one or two items that interest them at bargain prices. Many women, and even some men, enjoy collecting jewelry. Vintage estate jewelry offers the opportunity to connect with the styles and fashions of the past that are now sometimes difficult to find for sale at retail outlets. If you are spending a minimal amount of cash, then buy to your heart's content. If however, you are thinking of making an investment in a very expensive piece of estate jewelry, you should take some precautions.
An investment in vintage jewelry can bring great returns later on, but you must make sure that what you are buying is worth the asking price. Beware of fake stones when buying vintage gemstone jewelry. You should do a bit of research to educate yourself in the ways to identify authentic stones. The idea of reading a book or doing online research simply to prepare for the purchase of a piece of jewelry may seem extreme, but the knowledge you gain will be yours forever. If you intend to continue purchasing estate jewelry, the few hours spent studying could be worth a considerable amount of money down the road.
You should learn about how to identify a variety of gemstones, but one of the most commonly seen gems on sale at estate clearances are diamonds. Most people have heard of the "four C's" as they pertain to diamonds. These identifying characteristics are cut, color, clarity and condition. You should make yourself familiar with the definitions of these terms as well as how to determine the quality of any stone you are considering.
The phrase buyer beware holds especially true at estate sales. You should not necessarily trust the appraisals you are given by the seller of the jewelry. They obviously have everything to gain by misleading buyers. This is not to say that all people selling at estate sales would cheat you, but you should certainly be careful, as many sellers have a no return policy. Most areas have a few prominent estate companies who handle the bulk of estate sales in their region. Try visiting the sales they host on a regular basis, and if possible, get to know the owner of the business to get a feel for whether or not you think they are completely trustworthy. Once you are familiar with both the process of purchasing vintage jewelry and the people selling the merchandise, you may be able to find and buy yourself some wonderful vintage treasures.

A soccer ball struck Jared Engelken in the head last year during a game. It gave him a black eye.
The Durango High School student went to the school nurse, who suspected he had been in a fight. She called the school counselor.
I just had to reassure her it wasnt anything like that, Engelken said. I think its pretty easy to get help if you need it.
This kind of attention to students well-being may be the most important step to keeping students and schools safe, administrators say.
The task is easier at the elementary level where teachers are closely connected with each student, said Dave Tanaka, principal at Needham Elementary School.
These teachers know these kids inside out, he said. You can tell if a kid is having a bad day from the second they walk in the door.
By the time students reach middle school, teachers and staff members need to build relationships and reassure students that it is OK to report troublesome behavior, said Karen Lunceford, principal at Bayfield Middle School.
Im trying to create that climate of trust that its OK to speak up, youre not going to get in trouble, were just going to move on and fix it, she said.
The desire for anonymity or the disdain for tattling are even stronger in high school.
At Durango High School, administrators work to breakdown that mentality by asking students to sign a No Place For Hate petition at the beginning of the year. The pledge aims to eliminate stereotypes by teaching respect for all humankind.
Students need a reliable way to report problems, whether its through a trusted adult or anonymous reporting service such as Safe2Tell, said Kathy Morris, safe school coordinator for San Juan Board of Cooperative Educational Services.
Safe2Tell is a toll-free hotline for students, teachers and others to report violent or troubling events. The goal is to break the code of silence by giving students an anonymous way to report threatening behavior.
The program was developed in response to the Columbine High School shootings in April 1999. The shooters, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, told peers they were planning something, Morris said, but no one reported it because students didnt know who to tell.
I see that were having more conversations, which is really positive, she said. Weve got to fight complacency.
Students need to be aware about their own safety, said Dan Riecks, who was a sophomore at Columbine High School during the 1999 shooting. It is one of the hardest things to teach middle school and high school kids, he said.
The best prevention that we have is peers, said Riecks, who is now 30 and works as a truancy clerk at Durango High School. The more eyes peers have on each other, the more programs that theyre involved in, the better.
Some kids dont even understand the difference between being a tattletale and notifying the right people, he said. If youre scared about anything, tell someone. If you dont think you have somebody to tell, there are anonymous lines you can call. Just get it out there. If nothing else, it will make you feel better.

Images of our coffins and urns.
News and press coverage.
Commission a coffin or organise an exhibition.
The origins of Crazy Coffins, and of its parent, Vic Fearn & Company Ltd, stretch back to Victorian times. In those days, joiners routinely made coffins, and many carried out funerals as well. For practically a century, our forbears ploughed this furrow from Nottingham's back streets. But the extinction, in 1958, of the founding family permitted one of its employees, Victor Harry Fearn, together with a colleague, Leonard Gill, to buy the premises and the company's goodwill.
Mr Vic Fearn, a colourful and irascible character, had no taste for undertaking, but was keen on coffin manufacture. He changed the company's name, bought some land at Crabtree Farm, Bulwell, and put up a small factory, Crabtree Mill. He hired further labour, and with new energy spread the Vic Fearn name.
For twenty years, the Company did well. After that, when Vic himself grew older and his partner died, the firm began to drift.
By the time of Mr Fearn's retirement, in 1989, the world of funerals had changed. Funeral parlours were being bought and sold, and newcomers were entering the trade. Leonard Gill's sons, themselves outsiders, joined with David Crampton, whose background was in textiles: together with the existing workforce, they kept the company afloat.
Today, the bulk of turnover still comes from the manufacture of veneered and solid timber coffins, and their sale to undertakers who, in many instances, have been clients since the 1960s. The workforce, too, remains practically unchanged, two-thirds having completed twenty or more years. Nevertheless, the orientation of the company has changed. From the outset, the new management sought to reach a wider public, to step outside the traditions of the trade. The company's first decorated coffin was made in 1990. It was so unusual, with its stags and swags of flowers, that The Guardian published a large photo. Such decorated coffins are now commonplace.
Ten years later, an elderly Scotswoman turned up at the door. She was clutching a Red Arrows coffin, only partly built. She was no joiner, so could we finish it, she said? A month later and the coffin was complete. We heard no more; but then, one by one, complete strangers came forward with requests. A man wanted a canal-boat coffin, followed by a second for his wife. We built a sledge coffin, and a coffin modelled on a kite.
One day, to our surprise, these modest efforts were blazed across Page 3 of The Sun. It called them 'Crazy Coffins': a name which seemed to stick and which we have made our own.
Orders trickled in and art galleries approached us, with a view to staging exhibitions: initially in provincial towns in England and in Ireland, and then in major museums in Switzerland, Germany, and France. On two occasions the South Bank Centre has invited us to stage exhibtions of coffins in the Royal Festival Hall in conjunction with its major cultural programmes.
We continue to build enough conventional coffins, from our factories in Nottingham and on the Isle of Wight, to keep three trucks daily on the road. But the Crazy Coffin market continues to develop and with it the market in decorative ashes urns: we have recently made an urn in the shape of the Starship Enterprise for a lady whose late husband was a serious Trekkie. This was picked up from our Facebook page by George Takei, the original Mr Sulu, and went global. The workshop has recently completed a coffin in the shape of the Tardis for a Dr Who fan.
We do not carry a range since we respond to rather than dictate our customers' tastes: our Crazy Coffins are entirely bespoke and the only limit is your imagination.

In a study that followed more than 400 women just as they were starting to try to get pregnant, the researchers found that women with the highest levels of the stress indicator alpha-amylase in their saliva were 29% less likely to get pregnant than women with the lowest levels.I'll check my audacity enough to admit that I'm not certain I understand either, but I'll hazard a seemingly obvious though politically incorrect guess: Reproductive fitness.
They also found that women with the highest levels of alpha-amylase were more than twice as likely to meet the clinical definition of infertility--meaning they did not get pregnant even after a full year of trying.
Alpha-amylase is associated with our fight or flight response, but it can still be chronic, said Lynch.
"When you think 'fight or flight' you think acute response, but what most people don't know is that if you are chronically stressed, your body will learn to keep that system hyperactive," she said. "It has learned you are under attack constantly."
The researchers still do not understand exactly why stress affects a woman's ability to become pregnant, but this study did rule out some possibilities. For example, they found women with high levels of alpha-amylase had the same amount of sex as some of their less-stressed counterparts. "It's not that stressed out women have less intercourse," she said.
There are countless stress triggers in contemporary western society that don't have obvious parallels with pre-industrial human history, but the biological consequences of excessive stress haven't changed much. If a woman is hand-to-mouth and even that existence is precarious, it's probably not an optimal time for her to stretch her meager resources--biological, psychological, material, and otherwise--by additionally becoming responsible for her own delicate genetic future at the current moment.
Female reproductive investment is substantially larger than male reproductive investment is. And not just in terms of time and energy spent, but also in terms of opportunity cost--in becoming pregnant, women give up nearly a year of their reproductive lives, while men give up fifteen minutes of theirs, which are decades longer to being with. Waiting for the sources of the stress to dissipate is, genetically, often the better bet for women. Let me go out on a limb here, since I'm not able to verify this empirically, and presume that stress--or a lack thereof--has more influence on female fertility than it does on male fertility (though it seems plausible that it also has the potential to effect the latter).
Political correctness makes us collectively dumber. A corollary to that is the assertion that factoring human biodiversity into our thought processes makes us more insightful.

Urijah Faber explains Full Contact Skydiving, which is basically MMA in the air
MMA in the air? Yeah, pretty much.
Just when you thought you've seen everything, watch UFC star Urijah Faber explaining Full Contact Skydiving in this video (h/t MMA Junkie). Because the only thing more ridiculous than jumping out of an airplane is jumping out of an airplane and getting punched in the face the entire way down.
OK, so visually speaking it does look kind of cool. But would we do it ourselves? Not a chance. Who regulates this anyway? Is there an athletic commission 10,000 feet in the air? They do have referees, which is fantastic. How do you even get a job like that? This is where UFC president Dana White would like Steve Mazzagatti to get more seasoning.
Faber seems pretty into this and probably not just because they're paying him. There's absolutely no way the UFC lets him actually participate in this "sport" though.
In his next fight, Faber meets Alex Caceres at UFC 175 on July 5 in Las Vegas. Caceres himself has been accused of fighting high — he was suspended after a positive marijuana test following a win over Kyung Ho Kang in March 2013.

Great Lent
By Fr. Vasile Catalin Tudora. Fr Vasile is "one of our own" from the DFW area. He pastors St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church in Euless, Texas, and edits the Gladsome Light Dialogues blog
The idea that any Westerner has about fasting is strongly linked with renunciation, with giving-up, with sacrificing something for God. In the Eastern Orthodox Church however, fasting achieves a much richer meaning. Fasting is not only about giving up, but it is actually more about gaining, about being able to reach things that are possible only through this spiritual exercise. …
Repentance and Confession
By Fr. Sergei Sveshnikov
For the Russian version go to http://osergii.wordpress.com/
In order to understand what repentance is, one must first think about what sin is. Most often, people liken sin to breaking God's law or transgressing against God's commandment. Undoubtedly, such a characteristic of sin has its basis in the Old Testament. But just like all Old Testament things, this is only a shadow or a symbol of that which has received a deeper meaning in the New Testament. …

In an inaugural lecture on 31 October, Revd Professor Matthew Steenberg spoke to a large audience on the topic 'Fallen Man or Exiled Son? Voices from Antiquity on "Original Sin" for the Twenty-first Century'.
Beginning with a reflection on the Confessions of St Augustine and the common view of humanity as 'fallen', Professor Steenberg went on to address a different paradigm for the human condition, drawn from the writings of early Christianity and the liturgical life of the Eastern Churches. Exploring the theme of 'exile' as found in the parable of the Prodigal Son, as well as a number of patristic and liturgical considerations of it, he reflected on the different nuances to human nature, development and potential bound up in this somewhat different approach to articulating the human condition. …

Man building addition to Waterford home sues town in state and federal courts
Waterford - The owner of a house on Oswegatchie Road is suing the town in state and federal courts over the handling of permits and inspections that he says led to an illegal search.
Adam McNiece of East Lyme, who is a building contractor, is seeking more than $450,000 in damages and attorney's fees in a federal civil rights case. He is also suing in state Superior Court for more than $15,000.
The permit and inspection disagreements arose during the building of a second-story addition at 184 Oswegatchie Road.
According to the suit filed in federal District Court in New Haven in August 2011, McNiece alleges town officials mailed him a photograph taken from the inside of the house at 184 Oswegatchie Road without any explanation. The lawsuit claims this is evidence that Waterford officials searched his home illegally. He is represented in the case by attorney Paul Spinella of Hartford.
"The search of McNiece's home, with malicious intent, without prior warning, without consent and while McNiece was away, was unreasonable and illegal," according to court documents.
McNiece's suit makes several other complaints of unfair treatment. All were dismissed except the claim of unreasonable search as a violation of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution.
The town was removed from the federal lawsuit last August. The court ruled to remove the town "because it is unclear from the face of Mr. McNiece's amended complaint which of the defendants was involved in the violation" of entering the house.
Town officials including First Selectman Dan Steward, building official Frank Hoagland, assistant building official Steve Cardell and former planning director Thomas Wagner are still listed as defendants.
In December 2012, McNiece filed a lawsuit against the town and town officials in state court alleging that officials engaged in "bizarre" conduct that delayed his ability to obtain permits to renovate the property.
That lawsuit alleges among other complaints that town officials unlawfully entered his property and took photographs and that they retaliated against him for bringing the federal lawsuit. McNiece is representing himself in the state case.
McNiece alleges that town officials followed him around to job sites and attempted to intimidate and harass him. On at least one occasion, an official approached one of McNiece's clients and said McNiece did not hold a valid contractor's license, according to the lawsuit.
At a Board of Selectmen meeting last week, McNiece made public comments about homeowner rights which Steward later characterized as inappropriate because of the pending litigation.
Steward said he could not comment on the lawsuit. The town is represented in both state and federal courts by the firm of Ryan Ryan Deluca of Stamford.

(Human Rights Watch/IFEX) - New York, November 26, 2012 - Pakistan's judges should cease using their contempt of court powers to prevent the media from airing programming critical of the judiciary, Human Rights Watch said today.
Since Pakistan's independent judiciary was restored to office in 2009, Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry and provincial high courts have repeatedly sought to prevent media criticism of the judiciary through threats of contempt of court proceedings, which can bring prison terms. Since October 2012, the high courts in Islamabad and Lahore have issued orders to stop the broadcast of television programs critical of the judiciary.
"Judges sworn to uphold the rule of law should not be using their broad contempt powers to muzzle criticism by the media," said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. "Judges have no special immunity from criticism. Unless they want to be seen as instruments of coercion and censorship, they should immediately revoke these curbs on free expression."
Recently, Pakistani courts have openly issued a spate of orders that seek to limit the media's free expression rights, Human Rights Watch said. On October 9, Judge Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui of the Islamabad High Court issued a restraining order to the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) to stop airing criticism of the judiciary on television. The court sought to justify its order by asserting that the media ban was "to ensure that no programme containing uncommendable, malicious, and wicked material is telecast by any of the channels in which person of the honourable chief justice of Pakistan and other honourable judges of the superior court are criticised, ridiculed, and defamed."
On November 20, the court maintained the stay order preventing the airing of critical programming and demanded a progress report from PEMRA on a television show broadcast October 26 on ARY, a private channel, which criticized the conduct of Supreme Court Chief Justice Chaudhry. The court also issued a contempt notice to the channel's chief executive officer, Haji Jan Mohammad.
On October 16, Judge Nasir Saeed Sheikh of the Lahore High Court issued a stay order against the airing of "anti-judiciary" programming on television. On November 7, the court extended the stay against airing of television programming "intended to scandalize" the judiciary and directed PEMRA to ensure implementation of the order.
Journalists have told Human Rights Watch that major television stations and newspapers were informally advised by judicial authorities that they would be summoned to face contempt of court charges for criticizing or commenting unfavorably on judicial decisions or specific judges. In 2010 editors and former editors of several publications, including the English-language newspaper Dawn, faced contempt proceedings for publishing a story alleging misuse of office by the Sindh High Court chief justice, which was averted after their papers apologized publicly to the court.
Pakistan's judiciary, independent of the executive since 2009, has been embroiled in a major crisis since June when Malik Riaz, a real estate tycoon, publicly accused Arsalan Iftikhar, the son of Supreme Court Chief Justice Chaudhry, of using the threat of prosecution to extort millions of dollars from him. Riaz also alleged he had held "secret meetings" with the chief justice. The allegations against Chaudhry's son emerged in the backdrop of persistent tension between the judiciary and parliament. This peaked in June when the Supreme Court controversially disqualified Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani from office for refusing to bring criminal charges against the president, an act widely dubbed a "judicial coup." The courts have since faced recurring allegations of judicial overreach into the legitimate constitutional domain of the legislature and the executive.
"No branch of government, including the courts, should be immune from public opinion in a democratic society," Adams said. "Pakistan's judges have demonstrated the independence to hold the government accountable. But their credibility will be lost so long as they fight against scrutiny and accountability of the judiciary itself."
Pakistani judges muzzling critics in the media
(Human Rights Watch/IFEX) - New York, November 26, 2012 - Pakistan's judges should cease using their contempt of court powers to prevent the media from airing programming critical of the judiciary, Human Rights Watch said today.

What user Say about Clarks Women's Clarks Wave.Trek Lace-Up Fashion Sneaker,Navy,8.5 M US?
Great fit for me. Some things to consider before purchasing.
This was my first time ordering shoes online and I was a little apprehensive about it because I have difficulty finding shoes to fit me correctly. I have pretty narrow, long feet and need plenty of support. I read the other reviews that said these shoes are narrow to begin with, so I ordered the 10M. The shoes fit wonderfully. The are the perfect fit for my narrow feet, but I also have plenty of toe room. If you have wide feet, I would not get the medium width. The length seems right on in terms of size. There is quite a bit of support in the heels and toes, but not so much in the arches.
I bought the "pale blue" which look almost grey, something I was hoping for. I was afraid they would be more of a "baby blue," but thankfully are not. I think they are very cute looking, especially compared to other waterproof shoes on the market which look too masculine for me. I really like the dark material added to the toes, heels, and tongue, as well as the…

Aaron Sorkin, who's creating buzz with his HBO show "The Newsroom," takes on his druggy past in the upcoming Men's Journal. When asked what advice he'd give his younger self, Sorkin responded, "I'd tell myself not to try drugs. Once you do that, you're going to change the trajectory of your life in a terrible way." The former addict and Oscar winner continues, "My big fear when I quit drugs was that I wouldn't be able to write anymore. Because if you're a writer and you're on a roll — and I was on a roll when I was high — you don't want to change anything about the way you work." The "Social Network" scribe has been clean for 11 years. The issue comes out on July 13.

Person with knowledge of voting says Knicks G J.R. Smith is NBA's Sixth Man of the Year
A person with knowledge of the voting results tells The Associated Press that J.R. Smith has won the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award.
The Knicks have called an afternoon news conference at which Smith will be given the award, the person tells the AP on condition of anonymity because no announcement has been made.
The eighth-year guard has averaged 18.1 points in 80 games, all off the bench. He had 29 games in which he scored 20 points as a reserve, tying him with the Clippers' Jamal Crawford for the NBA lead.
Smith helped the Knicks win the Atlantic Division title for the first time since 1994. New York is the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference and leads the Boston Celtics 1-0 in their first-round playoff series.

We investigate the sequence of gaps between consecutive prime numbers, by recasting Eratosthenes
sieve as a recursion explicitly on the gaps. This approach preserves subsequences of gaps, known as
constellations. We can count the exact numbers of constellations at each stage of Eratosthenes
For a constellation of a gap of 2 followed by a gap of 4, we simply concatenate
the single digits as 24. This constellation occurs for example between the primes 5,7,11
and again between 11,13,17. The sequence of primes and their gaps begin as follows:
primes 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 ...
gaps 1 2 2 4 2 4 2 4 6 2 6 4 2 4 6 6 2 6 4 2 6 ...
Traditional approaches based on Hardy and Littlewood's seminal 1923 paper go
immediately to probabilistic estimates of the frequencies with which particular gaps occur between
primes. These estimates are very good, but they apply primarily to single gaps and to simple
constellations (such as 24 or 242). The recursion extends the deterministic analysis of constellations, and allows us to apply probabilistic methods to constellations of any complexity.
These probabilistic estimates agree well with the traditional ones, but also apply to situations where
the traditional methods do not.
By generalizing our methods, we are able to demonstrate that for every even number 2n the gap g=2n occurs infinitely often through the stages of Eratosthenes sieve. Moreover, we show that asymptotically the ratio of the number of gaps g=2n to the number of gaps g=2 at each stage of Eratosthenes sieve converges to the estimates made for gaps among primes by Hardy and Littlewood in Conjecture B of their 1923 paper.
Entry and download on arXiv.org Backup Copy
In this paper, we study these systems of constellations of a fixed sum. Viewing them as discrete dynamic systems, we are able to characterize the populations of constellations for sums including the first few primorial numbers: 2, 6, 30. Since the eigenvectors of the discrete dynamic system are independent of the prime -- that is, independent of the stage of the sieve -- we can characterize the asymptotic behavior exactly. In this way we can give exact ratios of the occurrences of the gap 2 to the occurrences of other small gaps for all stages of Eratosthenes sieve.
A few years ago we identified a recursion that works directly with the gaps among the generators in each stage of Eratosthenes sieve. This recursion provides explicit enumerations of sequences of gaps among the generators, which are known as constellations.
In this paper, we use those enumerations to estimate the numbers of these constellations that occur as constellations among prime numbers, and we compare these estimates with computational results. We include in our estimates the constellations corresponding to three and four consecutive primes in arithmetic progression.
For these initial estimates, we assume that the copies of a given constellation tend toward a uniform distribution in the cycle of gaps, as the recursion progresses. Our simple estimates based on the recursion of gaps and the assumption of uniformity appear to have correct asymptotic behavior, and they exhibit a systematic error correlated to length of the constellation.
We study the gaps between consecutive prime numbers directly through Eratosthenes sieve. Using elementary methods, we identify a recursive relation for these gaps and for specific sequences of consecutive gaps, known as constellations. Using this recursion we can estimate the numbers of a gap or of a constellation that occur between a prime and its square. This recursion also has explicit implications for open questions about gaps between prime numbers, including three questions posed by Erdős and Turán.

Notre Dame Cathedral evacuated after man commits suicide
PARIS – Crowds of visitors were cleared out of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris after a man put a letter on the altar of the 850-year-old monument Tuesday, pulled out a gun and shot himself in the head, the cathedral's rector said.
It's the first suicide in decades at the landmark site, Monsignor Patrick Jacquin told The Associated Press.
"It's unfortunate, it's dramatic, it's shocking," Jacquin said. The motives for the suicide, and the contents of the man's letter, were unclear.
A police official says officers closed the cathedral to the public and were investigating. It's highly unusual for the cathedral, visited by some 13 million people from around the world every year, to be evacuated.
Police, the Paris prosecutor and church employees gathered inside the cathedral, while puzzled tourists crowded outside on the island in the Seine River that has been home to the cathedral since the 12th century. This year Notre Dame got new bells as part of celebrations marking 850 years since construction on the cathedral began.
Tuesday's death comes less than a week after another unusual suicide in central Paris, when a man shot himself in front of a dozen schoolchildren at a private Catholic school in the French capital.
Jacquin said a few people had committed suicide by jumping from Notre Dame's twin towers, but he had no knowledge of anyone ever committing suicide on the altar. The Eiffel Tower occasionally shuts down because of suicides or attempts to jump off its ledges.

Worst Player
Goal Choice

Team Ratings
A. Boruc
Had surprisingly little to do in the first half as the hosts moved two up, but was finally beaten by Dzeko when he was caught slightly out of position. Kept Southampton's two-goal cushion intact when he denied Aguero with a fine stop.
M. Yoshida
Always reads the game well, and this game was no different. Stuck tight to Dzeko and Aguero wherever possible and made it very difficult for City to get in behind. But for Dzeko's goal, the visitors hardly looked like scoring and that was - for a large part - down to Yoshida.
J. Hooiveld
Dealt with the high balls well and is forming a good partnership with Yoshida in the absence of Jose Fonte, but conceded a dangerous free kick on the edge of his own box before the break and was a regular infringer as City got back into the game.
D. Fox
Standing in for Luke Shaw, who has been excellent this season, Fox had a lot to prove, and he looked strong in the when Nasri and Zabaleta pushed forward, as well as making a couple of telling clearances. Also played several good balls forward but his evening ended on a sour not as he limped off with 20 minutes remaining.
N. Clyne
Looked good defensively and was a threat going forward, supporting Puncheon well. Nearly scored at 2-0 with a deflected long-range effort which flew just over. It was a solid performance among one of the best team performances of the season.
J. Puncheon
One of Saints most consistent performers this season, and proved a threat right from the off, opening the scoring with a cool finish after starting the move by dispossessing Barry, before drilling a volley wide of the post and then blasting over early after the break. Replaced by Lallana with half an hour left but produced another fine performance.
J. Cork
Had a slow start, losing possession a couple of times, and was caught out by City's counter attack for Dzeko's goal, but with Schneiderlin and Davis he helped Southampton put pressure on the visitors when they had the ball. Was much quieter in the second half but it was a solid, if unspectacular, performance.
S. Davis
Sitting in front of Cork and Schneiderlin, Davis' intent was to provide attacking support, and he did just that when he was first to Hart's howler to put away the second goal. Made an excellent burst forward before the break, floating a superb cross over to Schneiderlin who fired wide.
M. Schneiderlin
Was part of a solid midfield unit which pressed City well, but his individual performance was fairly quiet, although he had an excellent chance in first-half stoppage time, volleying wide of the post before belting another first-time effort wide.
R. Lambert
As ever, made life difficult for the defenders with his strong presence and good movement, and inadvertently set up Davis' goal, forcing a terrible mistake from Hart after showing up Clichy and blasting a shot from a tight angle. Also bagged another accidental assist when Barry put the striker's cross past Hart for the third goal. Was always involved in Southampton's biggest attacks and inspired the team to a famous victory.
J. Rodriguez
Made life very difficult for Zabaleta, often cutting inside the defender and making several dangerous runs. Couldn't force an excellent early chance away but Puncheon followed up to score, and had another opportunity at 2-0 but fired wide. Had no joy from the referee when he felt he was fouled by Toure in the box, but had a good game despite not making the most of his chances.
Manchester City
J. Hart
Had little help from his defenders as Southampton took the lead through Puncheon, but he was definitely to blame for the second, completely fumbling Lambert's shot to allow Davis to come in and prod home. Helplessly watched Barry's own goal slide past him and his distribution was hit-and-miss. A day to forget for the England shot-stopper.
G. Clichy
Found himself in no man's land when Puncheon dispossessed Barry and pressed forward for his goal, and was again shown up as Lambert cut inside in the build-up to Southampton's second. Booked in the second half for a silly challenge on Puncheon and, like his defensive team-mates, had a wretched evening.
P. Zabaleta
Had trouble dealing with Southampton's early pushes forward, with Rodriguez drifting in between him and Garcia. Defensively, he struggled badly, but was much better going forward, and did superbly to set up Dzeko's goal in a sweeping move forward.
J. Lescott
Caught out by a couple of balls over the top early on, and City's centre-back pairing had Hart barking in their ears more than once. Did his best to lead the back line but they all had a bad day at the office, and he was replaced by Kolarov as City changed formation.
G. Barry
Partially at fault for the opening goal, conceding possession in the build-up to Puncheon's strike, and was given little time in the first half as Southampton pressed well, before scoring the hosts' third goal, diverting it past Hart under absolutely no pressure as he tried to cut out a cross.
David Silva
Strangely quiet as City struggled to get motoring and wasn't as accurate with his passing, but played a delightful chip to Zabaleta in the build-up to Dzeko's goal. Overall, though, it didn't rank amongst his better performances and he was taken off with just under 20 minutes left.
Y. Touré
Made a welcome return to City's midfield after being away on Africa Cup of Nations duty and had to help out defensively more than once, but had trouble orchestrating things in possession, wasting a chance from a free kick with a poor long shot in the second half. Perhaps fortunate not to concede a penalty in first-half stoppage time with a clumsy challenge on Rodriguez.
S. Nasri
The France international hasn't really set the world alight since he joined City, but he was showing more desire than many of his team-mates in the first half, although he couldn't produce anything that matched the effort and was substituted early in the second half.
Javi García
Again shifted back into defence in the absence of Kompany but, like Lescott, looked very shaky as Southampton played several balls in behind looking for Rodriguez and Lambert. Caught out of position for the hosts' first goal; something which happened far too often as he regularly saw Lambert and co get in behind him.
E. Džeko
Largely anonymous in the first half as Southampton looked disciplined at the back, with Yoshida and Hooiveld working hard to shut out any opportunities, but orchestrated a superb counterattack to bring the visitors back into the game, albeit with an unorthodox finish. Looked threatening when he had the ball, but that happened too rarely.
S. Agüero
Nearly drew City level after Puncheon's strike with an excellent long-range effort, and looked like the visitors' best route back into the match during the first half. Wasted a great chance from a free kick, driving into the wall and forced a good stop from Boruc in the second half with a left-footed effort.
F. Richardson
Came on for the injured Fox with 20 minutes to go, but the pace of the game was very slow and he had little to do despite City's late pressure, making challenges as required but not being hugely tested.
A. Lallana
Replaced the dangerous Puncheon on the hour and provided a fresh threat for City's disappointing defence, linking up well with Rodriguez and Lambert and covering defensively when needed.
A. Kolarov
Came on for Lescott with 25 minutes remaining as City changed formation to try and get back in the game, and worked hard to push down the left, nearly setting up a chance for Maicon.
Introduced in place of Silva with just under 20 minutes to go and provided a threat as City looked to get back in the game, whipping in a couple of crosses and nearly getting on the end of one from Kolarov.
J. Milner
Replaced Nasri early in the second half and had a chance straight away, seeing a shot deflected wide. Southampton managed to keep the ball well, however, and Milner couldn't do too much.

Two Taboos in One Week You Can Do in Your Car
This Thursday and Friday you have permission to do the things you love, but are a bit taboo, to do in your car. I know I am guilty of doing both of these things. Sometimes I get stared at or laughed at when doing this in my car, but I have to be honest with you, sometimes I just can't help it either.
This Thursday is National Sing in Your Car Day. The weird thing is, I have never been a sing-in-the-shower type of person, but I have always been a sing-in-the-car type person. Apparently, I like an audience. It is also important to know that I am a terrible singer (my children can attest to this). However, when I jump in the car, there is just something about being surrounded by a car rattling song that makes me want to sing like Julie Andrews belting out "The Sound of Music."
This Friday is National Fast Food Day. I am also guilty of this not so healthy, but very convenient, taboo. The drive-thru is a godsend when traveling with kids. I never want to stop, pile all the kids out of the car, haul them into the restaurant, let everyone take 30 minutes to order, 30 more minutes before the meal is ready, 30 minutes to eat it and then pile everyone back into the car and get back on the road. Needless to say, this is very inconvenient if you are trying to get somewhere in a short amount of time.
I would have to say that if you are going to pick one of these guilty pleasures to do frequently, it should be the singing. It is much better for your health and only a little painful for those in the car with you.

Why Choose Ultimate Aloe Powder?
Why Choose Ultimate Aloe Powder?+
Aloe vera naturally contains over 200 biologically active components. Ultimate Aloe Powder is derived from whole leaf aloe and retains the qualities of natural occurring aloe vera through a proprietary extraction process called TotalAloe™; isolating and concentrating the most active polysaccharides while removing undesirable components, such as aloin and emodin which may cause digestive upset.
Ultimate Aloe Powder carries the IASC (International Aloe Science Council) seal, certifying the Aloe content and purity. The aloe vera in Ultimate Aloe is harvested and processed according to sanitary manufacturing practices that use specific time and temperature guidelines. This preserves the natural properties of the aloe vera plant so you receive the maximum benefits of the product. Ultimate Aloe's quality is analyzed for chemical and physical characteristics and in-vitro assays for monitoring biological activity. Ultimate Aloe Powder contains three times more polymers than most commercially available aloe gels and delivers superior support, which our customers can depend on time after time, and with 16 individual powder packets in each box, Ultimate Aloe Powder is easy to carry on the go and share with friends.
Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Linne Gel
Linne gel is named after the scientist Carl von Linne (Carl Linnaeus), who is given credit for categorizing plants and animals. Linnaeus deemed Aloe to be the genus and vera the species. The type of aloe in our product is Aloe barbadensis Miller. Miller is the person who described and categorized the plant we know as aloe vera.
Aloe Vera is rich in polysaccharides and a source of trace minerals such as iron, copper, calcium, zinc, chromium, manganese, potassium, sodium and magnesium. Minerals are important for the proper functioning of various enzyme systems in metabolic pathways and some minerals act as antioxidants.
Aloe vera promotes healthy digestion by providing natural plant enzymes that break down food. These enzymes include amylase (starch); cellulose (cellulose); lipase (water insoluble lipids); and alkaline phosphatase (proteins).
Poor diet and stress cause the mechanical function of the colon to be disrupted. This leads to intestinal discomfort, incomplete digestion of food, and establishes a favorable environment for foreign bacterial and fungal growth. Aloe supplementation helps support normal gastrointestinal pH. Consumption of aloe vera can promote intestinal comfort after eating.
How do I take Ultimate Aloe Powder?
Pour one packet of Ultimate Aloe Powder into 4 fluid ounces of water and mix well. Take once daily or as directed by your healthcare provider.
How many calories are in one serving of Ultimate Aloe Powder?
The natural flavor contains 20 calories per serving and the strawberry kiwi flavor contains 25 calories per serving.
Does Ultimate Aloe Powder need to be refrigerated?
No, it can be stored safely at room temperature.
Is Ultimate Aloe approved by the FDA?
No. Ultimate Aloe is classified as a dietary supplement, labeled in compliance with FDA regulations .
Why does the taste vary?
The taste will vary from lot to lot due to the seasonal time of harvest. The sun and the amount of water the plants receive are directly responsible for the ripeness of the plants. Just as with any vegetable, you will have a different taste depending upon the growing process.
I noticed the IASC Seal on the Ultimate Aloe Powder box. What is it and what does it mean for me?
The seal is a certificate from the International Aloe Science Council (IASC). It demonstrates that the quality of aloe in Ultimate Aloe has been validated and certified by an independent group of professionals. Market America has made a strong commitment to sell a standardized, well-defined, thoroughly tested product that meets the rigid standards of the Council.
What is so important about using whole leaf aloe vera?
Modern chemical analysis of aloe leaves shows that the active agents that are responsible for the plant's widely celebrated health properties are concentrated in the green skin (rind) and yellow sap (latex), which is found just under the skin.*
The juice of aloe contains at least 99.1 percent water, which means that the polysaccharides (acemannan and other polypeptides), glycoproteins, and other components constitute less than one percent of the juice. To date, over 200 active components have been identified including fatty acids and immune-supporting compounds.*
Why is the aloin removed from the aloe?
Fresh whole leaf aloe vera contains aloin, a very powerful laxative, which must be eliminated from the aloe if it is to be used safely as an ingredient in topical products or as a dietary supplement. Aloin is a compound, which is produced from emodin and glucose. When whole leaf aloe is pasteurized and the aloin is eliminated, the aloe is safe for both topical and internal use.
What is the history of aloe vera use in promoting health?
The idea that Aloe vera can promote health is as old as the Pyramids. It is believed to have originated in the warm, dry climates of northern Africa. It has been found referenced in ancient hieroglyphics, which indicate it was a product that was traded between the Egyptians and the Sumerians as many as 6,000 years ago. It was first described in the Papyrus Ebers, an Egyptian book written between 1553-50 B.C.E. The ground whole leaf of the plant has been used as a health agent or cosmetic ingredient for thousands of years in promoting normal healing and healthy digestion . The soothing powers of aloe vera were used in Persia and India for centuries. In addition, both Chinese and Japanese civilizations have taken advantage of aloe vera's beneficial properties. Greeks and Romans also used aloe vera in supporting health as early as the first century. Ancient Greeks obtained it from the island of Socotra in the Indian Ocean. In the 10th century C.E., its soothing powers were recommended to the British King Alfred the Great by the Patriarch of Jerusalem. Muslims who have made the pilgrimage to Mecca are entitled to hang an Aloe plant over their doors as a talisman against evil.
If you look at the history of aloe as a topical application or cosmetic ingredient, there are three types of evidence that have been used to support its value, including testimonials, scientific research and chemical analysis. Reports show that as early as the 1930s, the gel was used to soothe burns.
Many individuals apply the gel to minor cuts, abrasions and burns. Aloe vera products enjoy growing public interest. Strong examination of aloe vera continues. Most of the modern research has focused on aloe vera's ability to support normal healing.
The juice of the plant continues to gain in popularity as an effective health supplement. Hundreds of chemical reports show that aloe vera contains amino acids, enzymes and a large number ofcompounds.*
How does aloe work?
Aloe vera works because the green skin of the plant produces and the sap stores at least six beneficial health agents: lupeol, salicylic acid, urea nitrogen, cinnamonic acid, phenol and sulfur. In addition, the plant also produces at least 23 proteins (polypeptides) and at least four mannan sugars, which promote the normal regulation of cell growth and support the immune system .

It really works for your digestion and constipation. I prefer the natural flavour only, because it does not contain any sugar. Other flavours do have a lot. And even the liquid version of the natural flavour is very good. It would be great to have in each box 30 sachets, not 20.

With Sterling fighting sale, here are 5 ways the LA Clippers ownership fight could be resolved
As he threatened, Donald Sterling is not giving up the Los Angeles Clippers without a fight.
The embattled owner said this week that he is going ahead with a $1 billion lawsuit that claims the NBA violated his rights by banning him from the league and trying to take his team away.
Instead of a quick resolution to the sordid saga, which started when Sterling's girlfriend recorded him making racist remarks, the league now faces the prospect of months — or longer — in court.
Here are five ways the dispute could be resolved now that Sterling's lawsuit against his fellow NBA owners is back on:
NEGOTIATION: The league could hammer out a deal with Sterling to get him to drop the lawsuit and let the $2 billion sale to Microsoft executive Steve Ballmer proceed. What would persuade the notoriously litigious Clippers owner to go quietly? The NBA could back down on the $2.5 million fine levied against him by commissioner Adam Silver. But it's doubtful Sterling is jeopardizing a $2 billion deal over a relative pittance.
More likely, the league's longest-tenured owner wants to maintain some association with the Association. Would the NBA be willing to let him attend team functions, retain courtside seats or serve on the board of the planned charitable foundation after some sort of sensitivity training? Perhaps, if that's what it takes to make this all go away.
BANISHMENT: Sterling's temporary acquiescence to the sale may have been a legal rope-a-dope to lull the NBA into canceling the meeting at which it was virtually certain he would have been voted out of the league. Now that the sale is on hold, the league could reschedule the hearing — if for no other reason than to pressure Sterling into a settlement. If he doesn't, the owners vote, the league seizes control of the team and sells it to Ballmer or re-opens the bidding.
BUYER'S REMORSE: Ballmer's bid of $2 billion was almost four times the record for an NBA team, and 3.5 times the value placed on Los Angeles' second-most illustrious NBA franchise by Forbes Magazine earlier this year. He won the auction in a crowded field of celebrity bidders that included Oprah Winfrey, entertainment mogul David Geffen and some of Los Angeles' richest men and women.
But if Ballmer was hoping for a smooth transition, the potentially long delay could give him time to rethink his purchase. The Clippers have never been as hot a property as they were during the frenzied sale process, and Ballmer overbid the next-highest offer by $400 million. If Shelly Sterling can't deliver the team, it could give Ballmer a chance to back out or renegotiate.
LITIGATION: The lawsuit proceeds, and a California jury decides whether the league violated Sterling's rights by stripping him of his team based on a private conversation with his girlfriend. Or the NBA fights to have the case moved to New York. Or Shelly and Donald Sterling wind up fighting it out in divorce court. Or Ballmer sues Donald Sterling for interfering with his deal.
The winners in this scenario are the lawyers, with a twist: the league constitution says Sterling pays the NBA's legal fees unless he wins on every single claim against him. And even if he does, he is essentially winning a judgment against himself: Shelly Sterling has agreed to indemnify the NBA against all lawsuits, including by her husband.
VINDICATION: Sterling wins in court and keeps the team. His lifetime ban is overturned. Maybe he even gets to keep his $2.5 million fine. And then the appeals. And the player boycotts. And sponsors flee. And the Clippers once again become the laughingstock of the league they were for so much of Sterling's tenure as owner.
