BEIRUT, January 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
IDM Cyberia Web - a web design and development agency based in Lebanon - has built up a large portfolio of clients, which includes the leading obesity center in the Middle East.
The COCP Obesity and Weight Control Center was facing some difficult challenges: it wanted to gain more clients, improve the user experience on the website and consolidate its position as an expert in the field of obesity and weight control.
IDM Cyberia Web was bought in to create a professional and attractive website that contained substantial, user-friendly content focused on patients' medical concerns and their solutions.
The website was built on a Content Management System (CMS), which allows COCP's staff to manage the site and quickly post new information and content. Specific web-based services provided by IDM Cyberia Web included the web design and development of the website, SEO (search engine optimization), patient education adaptation for the web, photography, marketing and management.
When it came time to measure the results, the website's success was evaluated primarily through the number of people that contacted the center and booked an appointment. After examining the previous months' online statistics, a 21.85% increase in website traffic was observed within 4 weeks.
COCP were extremely satisfied with the project's outcome. According to the center's manager Rania Haddad, "it was a great pleasure to work with a professional team such as IDM Cyberia Web, all the way from the first time we came into contact with them until the project delivery." She went on to thank them for their hard work and stated that she was "extremely satisfied with the results."

Roe v Wade - celebrating judicial activism
Updated 01-13-2011 at 08:08 by Razorsharp
While the concept of "freedom of choice" is compatible with the ideals of individual freedom and liberty that the Founding Fathers envisioned, all the angst and apprehension expended over how a prospective Supreme Court Justice may interpret Roe v. Wade, seems to be a good indicator that those wringing their hands realize, deep down in their hearts, that there is a fault in the Court's ruling.
So, did the Court rule judiciously in regards to the Constitution, or expeditiously in regards to an agenda? Let's go back and take a look at the genesis of Roe v. Wade.
The politics of feminism was in high gear in 1970, the year that Norma McCorvey, known as plaintiff "Jane Roe", found herself to be pregnant with her third child. The first two having been given up for adoption, Miss McCorvey says that she did not want to go through another pregnancy, just to give away another child. She then made the decision to seek a medical abortion.
Thwarted by Texas' law prohibiting abortion, except in cases to save the life of the mother, Norma McCorvey was put in touch with two attorneys, Sarah Weddington and Linda Coffee, who, as Miss McCorvey described in an interview, "were interested in challenging the Texas abortion statute."
When the Supreme Court is petitioned to hear a case, the plaintiff must provide an issue of a Constitutional violation for the Court to judge. In the case of Roe v. Wade, the attorneys for Norma McCorvey relied on "privacy" as their issue.
Notwithstanding the occasional pundit ranting over "privacy" not being specifically mentioned in the Constitution, a case can certainly be made that privacy is a constitutional right of the individual that emanates as a penumbra of the Fourth Amendment, but actual privacy was not really being addressed in Roe v. Wade. The real issue at hand was that the State of Texas had a law that forbade physicians, who also happen to be licensed by the State of Texas, from performing a particular elective medical procedure. A procedure that is also explicitly prohibited by the Hippocratic Oath.
The Texas law prohibiting elective abortion was no more a violation of anyone's right to privacy anymore than a state law that prohibits gambling. Furthermore, the very act of having to enlist a state-licensed practitioner to perform the procedure should have negated any perception of a privacy issue.
So, as illustrated, the issue of a privacy violation was more or less an excuse put forth by plaintiff's counsel that was used to justify the Supreme Court hearing the case, and being sympathetic to the politics of the day, the Court agreed to hear the case under that pretext.
The case of Roe v. Wade came before the Supreme Court on December 13, 1971, but attorneys for the plaintiff failed to put forth testimony sufficient to sway the Court to overturn the Texas statute on the basis of violating the plaintiff's right of privacy. But, rather than ruling accordingly, the Supreme Court gave the plaintiff's counsel another opportunity to make their case, and remanded the case to be re-argued on October 11, 1972.
In the interim, the case of Eisenstadt v. Baird came across the Supreme Court's docket. In Eisenstadt v. Baird, the Supreme Court ruled a Massachusetts law that banned the distribution of contraceptives to single people to be unconstitutional, and while writing the majority opinion, Justice William Brennen buried a bone.
Former Supreme Court Clerk, Edward Lazarus, in his book, "Closed Chambers", describes the tactic of "burying bones" as the deliberate insertion of words or phrases into court decisions, so they can later be dug up to be used to influence future cases.
Lazarus details Brennen's insertion into the Eisenstadt opinion a sentence claiming that the privacy right included freedom to decide "whether to bear or beget a child", despite the fact that Eisenstadt v. Baird had nothing to do with bearing a child. But since Roe v Wade did, the attorneys for Roe were able to cite the Eisenstadt opinion as a precedent the second time they brought their case before the Court, and on January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the plaintiff.
Now, that's judicial activism.
So, the next time you witness a senator perched upon high and looking down over his glasses at a prospective Supreme Court justice and inquiring if the nominee believes that Roe v Wade is the law of the land, the real question should be, how can any senator, who is charged with the utmost in responsibility in matters pertaining to the law, truely believe that Roe v Wade is judiciously settled law?
I'm new to this thread and blog stuff so please bear with me. I've been in the Pro-Life movement for over a dozen years, having believed the pro-choice lie back in '73 when I was 26 and ran on pure emotion. Since then I've grown up and see abortion for what it really is: Anti-Humanism. We all argue that the government will only take our weapons from our cold, dead hands, but we have swallowed a lie in order to butcher over fifty-four million American babies. Abortion never really was about a woman's right to choose. That never should be a right in the first place... to premeditatedly murder your own child. That's insanity and what this nation has been driven by since 1973. Abortion hurts and destroys women and their bodies, murders a child and removes any sense of morality from our culture: If we are willing to murder our own flesh and blood in the name of "choice", then HOW can we argue that the Nazis did anything other than make a different "choice" to eliminate Jews and Christians? Remember... what goes 'round comes 'round, and it's happening now. We are a nation of old people, and our working youth no longer have a sense of right and wrong. What makes you believe that they will not "choose" to eliminate the elderly and infirm, since WE chose to eliminate the young in our society. Remember... Obama and his cronies are ALL pro-abortion, and they have already set up "death panels" to deny care to those they believe to be too expensive to keep alive. Care WILL be denied to people in this category, so no one can argue that "universal" health care is really universal, because it will be denied to many people. People need to study the link between Eugenics and Margaret Sanger's link to it. I could go on and on, but I won't. Those that do not learn from history are DOOMED to repeat it. The American Abortion Holocaust has far surpassed Hitler's atrocities, Mao's atrocities, and all others. Should this nation be proud of that, when we won't even stop the influx of illegal aliens coming into this country, many who make anchor babies in order to stay here, yet we applaud a woman's "right" to choose to murder her American baby? Abortion is national suicide. Until we all realize that, we are all doomed.

People feeding backyard birds dates back to at least 184510:18 am | January 30, 2012
I couldn't blame the birds for thinking spring has come early. January's almost at an end, and we haven't really experienced much in the way of cold temperatures and snow.
Thankfully, the birds are still visiting my feeders, but perhaps not with the devotion they show to my offerings when there are several inches of snow covering the ground.
I got an email from Donald Rice this past week wanting to know why he hasn't been able to attract any Northern Cardinals so far this winter. I shared a story with him about how my own resident Eastern Towhees apparently vacated my feeders from early October until a single female towhee made a return appearance during the recent spell of inclement weather. I advised patience and, sure enough, he emailed me back later to tell me a cardinal had finally paid a visit.
First and foremost, most birds are attracted to our yard when we offer them three crucial items: shelter, food and water. At my home, a fish pond and access to Simerly Creek means I don't have to offer supplemental sources of water.
I do offer a variety of foods to appeal to birds, and they have responded with enthusiasm. Food can be a great magnet for attracting birds, but it helps to know the preferences of some of your feeder visitors.
Feeding birds has a long history in the United States. In his book A Complete Guide to Bird Feeding, John V. Dennis writes that Henry David Thoreau fed birds at his Walden Pond cabin as early as 1845. He scattered corn and bread crumbs to attract Blue Jays and chickadees as well as squirrels and rabbits. By the end of the 1800s, naturalists like John Burroughs offered food to lure birds closer.
Dennis notes, however, that the first person to establish something like the practice of feeding birds throughout the year was a housewife in the Vermont town of Brattleboro. The efforts of Mrs. E.B. Davenport are known because another woman, Florence A. Merriam, wrote about Davenport's feeders in a book titled Birds of Village and Field. Apparently, Davenport hosted birds such as Ruffed Grouse and Blue Jays at the feeders at her Vermont home.
Dennis notes that hummingbird feeders made their first appearance in 1900. Again, a woman can take the credit. Caroline G. Soule of Brookline, Mass., started the practice of offering sugar water to attract nectar-feeding hummingbirds. She hung up a bottle with an imitation trumpet creeper blossom inserted in the opening. As Dennis notes, the concept of a feeder for hummingbirds has changed very little since those initial attempts.
As a result of an increase in the popularity of feeding birds, some very noticeable changes took place. With ready access to food at all seasons, some birds expanded their native ranges. Birds such as Northern Mockingbird and even Northern Cardinal were once rare in the Northeastern United States. Today, these species have expanded well beyond their stronghold in the southern United States. Dennis identified four species — Red-bellied Woodpecker, Tufted Titmouse, Northern Mockingbird and Northern Cardinal — as four such southern species that were able to expand northward thanks to feeders.
Dennis died in 2002, but his books are still available through a variety of outlets. I highly recommend A Complete Guide to Bird Feeding and The Wildlife Gardener to anyone interested in attracting more birds to their yards and feeders.
I offer a variety of foods at my feeders in the hope of attracting as many different birds as possible. In addition to black oil sunflower seed, I sometimes offer such seed as millet, safflower and thistle. For people who lose too much seed to squirrels, safflower seed is not liked by these rodents, but will be accepted by such colorful birds as Northern Cardinals. The tiny pearl-shaped millet seeds attract sparrows, including Field Sparrow, Song Sparrow and White-throated Sparrow. When spring arrives, Indigo Buntings and Chipping Sparrows also enjoy millet seed. Thistle seed is primarily enjoyed by American Goldfinches. Special feeders or mesh stockings are used to dispense tiny thistle seeds, which also attract House Finches and, during spring, an occasional Indigo Bunting.
Many of our common birds, however, exist mainly on a diet of insects. During the colder months, insects are notably scarce and these birds must migrate to warmer climates or modify their diets. We can attract insect-eating birds by offering suet cakes, which can be purchased at various stores. You can also make your own by rendering fat and adding an assortment of other foods, such as peanuts, peanut butter, oats and cornmeal.
Suet cakes attract a wide assortment of birds, including Carolina Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Wren, Pine Warbler, White-breasted Nuthatch, Blue Jay, Downy Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker and Red-bellied Woodpecker. On occasion, a bird such as a Dark-eyed Junco or Northern Cardinal will also sample some suet. Mesh cages to hold your suet cakes can be found in any store that also sells bird seed.
It's worth noting that it's not only birds that enjoy suet. Many mammals — raccoons, opossums, squirrels and even black bears — will feed on suet. Raccoons and bears will also carry off your suet cages. Since most of these animals visit after dark, it's a good idea to bring your suet indoors in the evening and put it back out in the morning. To discourage nocturnal visitors, I place only enough seed in my feeders that the birds can finish in a single day.
Peanuts are also an excellent food for birds. I own several mesh containers that are designed to hold shelled peanuts. Buy unsalted peanuts for stocking these feeders. The list of birds attracted by peanuts is almost identical to the one for suet. It's fun to watch a White-breasted Nuthatch or Tufted Titmouse hang to the side of the feeder as they deftly maneuver a peanut out of the mesh container. Because they have to take a little time to extract the peanut, it also forces them to remain in view instead of "grabbing and going" as birds such as Carolina Chickadees are prone to do.
A survey would probably reveal that people feed birds for different reasons. For the most part, the birds need our handouts much less than we think. They are capable of finding their own food. Bringing them closer by using food, water and shelter to attract them, however, means we get to enjoy their beauty and their songs. The only effort we put forth is to fill feeders daily and clean them on a regular basis. I also think most people would agree that the expense of providing food brings a worthwhile return on their investment.

Just looking for some tips on how to introduce new baby to my little one. I am very nervous as to what his reaction might be any ideas?
You are one busy momma! I think that anyway that you introduce the baby to your toddler is fine so long as it's filled with love, reassurance and patience on everyones part. Encourage your toddler to "be gentle" and give him a ton of positive reinforcement for good interactions with the baby.
Keep us posted!
Congrats on your little ones! You can try giving your 13 month old a baby doll and help him mimic how to care for the baby. Just keep things simple as far as introducing the baby and keep the basic routines that your son has intact such as bath time, bedtime, etc. so he doesn't feel too off kilter. I have friends who have kids close together and they simply see the younger child as another baby in the house and a buddy to play with eventually. :-)
At 13 months old, it is hard to really get through to them that it is a baby and something they have to be careful with. Just be sure you are taking the necessary safety precautions and never leave them alone in a room together. I used to put our baby in her bouncy seat in a pack n play to keep her safe from her brother. Try to encourage him to help you put lotion on the baby 's feet or to give the baby her pacifier. It is rough, but in time they will be best buds!
Yea true, my son is a busy body. never stopping to play and very energetic. I have heard some very scary stories of older ones pulling baby off of couch and even hitting.
I was wondering the same thing. I have a 7 month old and I am due with another boy in Jan. They will be 11 months apart.

Place of Birth
While he has made quite a name for himself in New Japan, there are rumors floating around that Lance Hoyt could be interested in signing with Jeff Jarrett and his new Global Force Wrestling. The belief is that Hoyt would want a schedule that enables him to still do frequent tours of Japan. Jarrett might be willing to agree to that since he wants his promotion to be internationally known.

With so many of their performer contracts expiring this year, TNA officials have been busy with negotiations and signings.

With the deal, he is expected to remain with the company for a couple of years, and he is also expected to continue on his push since splitting with James Storm.
April 16, 2014
"Seems like TNA is signing their core talents whose contracts are either up or in need of revising. WWE has seemingly made it clear that they have no interest in Impact talents and will instead reply on their Performance Center for their future stars. However, with Jeff Jarrett preparing to launch another promotion it makes sense for TNA to be proactive." - Jim Ross reveals that WWE is not interested in TNA performers
April 15, 2014
An article about Jeff Jarrett was recently published in the Tennessean, and some interesting tidbits are in there for professional wrestling fans.

April 14, 2014
Earlier this month, Jeff Jarrett finally made the long awaited announcement of his new wrestling promotion, Global Force Wrestling. Another announcement was set for today, but the former world heavyweight champion had to delay things for another day.

April 14, 2014
Since he is rumored to be in the process of looking for a new home in professional wrestling, rumors have it that Mick Foley could possibly end up joining Jeff Jarrett in his new wrestling promotion, Global Force Wrestling. The two of them are scheduled to be on a show together in Pennsylvania next month, and a meeting is expected to take place between the two former world champions.
April 12, 2014
Even though the company has scaled back tremendously on their pay per view schedule over the last year, TNA is holding an event this Saturday night. It is a One Night Only theme, and several former stars are returning to the promotion to work the show. Sonjay Dutt, Trent Baretta and Low Ki are among the names already announced.
April 10, 2014
Now that Jeff Jarrett has announced his new wrestling promotion, even more rumors have surfaced about which wrestlers will be joining him. Former WWE star Shane Helms has popped up as a candidate, as he is still in great shape and has been working steadily on the independent wrestling circuit. He has enough name value to help Jarrett get Global Force Wrestling going.
April 8, 2014
For those wondering what Trevor Murdoch has been up to as of late, the former WWE tag team champion is still wrestling on the independent circuit. Plus, he still owns a restaurant that specializes in steaks and pork tenderloins. The belief is that Murdoch is trying to sign on with Jeff Jarrett and his new promotion, Global Force Wrestling.
April 8, 2014
After weeks of rumors floating around, Jeff Jarrett has finally launched his new promotion. It is called the Global Force Wrestling. The company boasts about 400 performers in their database, including several international wrestlers. No word yet on when GFW will start doing shows, but Jarrett promised that there will be more announcements coming soon.
April 7, 2014
Some further details have been revealed in regards to the wrestling promotion that Booker T owns. There were plans to shut down Reality of Wrestling back in December, but a local businessman named Hilton Koch stepped in to save it. After securing local sponsors and a television deal, RoW is expected to be profitable before the summer.
April 4, 2014
Independent wrestling shows are usually done on the weekends, but a promotion in Tennessee has decided to do a rare one on a Wednesday. James Storm has been booked to be the headliner, and he will be going up against former TNA star Chase Stevens. Crimson, another former TNA star, is also working the event as well, but his opponent has not been revealed yet.
March 26, 2014
Last month, rumors started heating up about Matt Morgan being one of the potential new signings for Jeff Jarrett and his new wrestling promotion. With the big announcement just a couple of weeks away, there are now talks that the deal is all but certain. Jarrett knows that he needs some familiar faces if he wants to kick start his new company.
March 26, 2014
In order to promote the upcoming movie, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon took a promotion picture with a guy in a Scooby Doo outfit. The WWE vice president of talent and live events is lifting up the person in the suit.

Earlier today, it was reported that Paul London was heading to Europe for a tour, and it has now been revealed that Brian Kendrick is joining him. The former WWE stars have been booked by a promotion called Southside Wrestling, where they will be working a show next weekend. No word yet on whether or not London and Kendrick will be teaming together or facing one another.

There are talks that Jeff Jarrett could be interested in signing Homicide and Hernandez for his new wrestling promotion. Right now, Homicide is working on the independent wrestling circuit, and the belief is that he would love to be back on television. Hernandez is still under contract to TNA, but he might be able to request a release since the company is not really using him.
March 22, 2014
Since his contract with WWE is set to expire very soon, there are speculations that Rey Mysterio could be headed to AAA to join his good friend Konnan as the company is attempting to expand into the United States market. During a recent interview in Spain, though, Mysterio flat out stated that he is not signing with that promotion and wishes to stay with WWE.

The fake police officers that were utilized on Monday Night Raw during the closing segment with Triple H and Daniel Bryan were actually wrestlers from Reality of Wrestling, a promotion based in nearby Houston that is owned by WWE star Booker T. The group traveled to the event together in San Antonio. Management did it as a favor to Booker.

Since TNA decided to shift Mr Anderson into a program with Sam Shaw, there is now a need to find an opponent for Bully Ray. Since most of the performers on the roster are already involved in a program, one of the ideas being tossed around is to have the former world heavyweight champion joining the program between Eric Young and Joseph Park.
February 24, 2014
Eric Young and Joseph Park, who worked under the mask as Abyss on Impact Wrestling this week, were heavily praised by TNA for their recent performance. Their hardcore match came off really well, both with the live audience and on television. Plus, their overall selling of the story line over the last few weeks have been better than expected.
February 8, 2014
There are those backstage that are hoping that TNA does not get rid of the Joseph Park character, as they feel that he is a character that still has some life left. Plus, it seems like Christopher Parks genuinely enjoys playing the role, as he does put a lot of attention into the details.
January 20, 2014
When is not wrestling for the company, Joseph Park has been working as a backstage agent and producer for TNA.

Fox News (07.31.2013)
Data from the National Cancer Institute reported that the United States diagnosed nearly 18,000 cases of esophageal cancer and recorded 15,000 deaths from the disease annually. According to World Health Organization data, esophageal cancer is the eighth most common cancer in the world and caused approximately 400,000 deaths annually. The STD human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is linked to cervical cancer, anal cancer, and some cancers of the upper throat. Dr. Surabhi Liyanage, a graduate student at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and colleagues investigated the relationship between HPV and esophageal cancer.
The researchers collected results from all studies that compared patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and those without it. They examined esophageal tissue samples from patients with and without the cancer from the 21 eligible studies, to determine whether HPV was present. The researchers found HPV in the esophageal tissue of 35 percent of cancer patients compared to 27 percent of those without esophageal cancer.
The results indicated that those with HPV infection in their esophageal tissue were three times more susceptible to esophageal cancer. The author noted that if HPV caused the cancer, then HPV vaccines could help prevent it. However, she acknowledged that further study was needed because cancer-preventing vaccines most often took many years after the initial vaccination to show benefits. Liyanage suggested alternative ways of reducing the risk of developing esophageal cancer, such as not smoking and not drinking excessively.
The full report, "The Aetiological Role of Human Papillomavirus in Oesophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Meta-Analysis," was published online in the journal PLoS One (2013; doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0069238)

For the last 8 years I have lived in Nong Khai, a peaceful border town located along the Mekong River. The Mekong passes through six countries and is an important water and food source to hundreds of millions of people. It is also home to some of the largest fresh water fish, and biodiversity, in the world.
Each morning, for the past few weeks, I've been sailing a small fishing boat on the Mekong River. While on the river I've noticed A LOT of trash in the water. Over the years, when going to restaurants along the river, our volunteers have noticed customers, waiters, and cooks throwing their trash into the river. I remember also seeing the same thing happening in Vientiane, Laos too. Chances are the same careless behavior is happening along the entire 4,000km course that the river takes.
I've decided that Isara needs to educate the communities who live along the Mekong River about the dangers of polluting their environment. If we can get just a few people to stop throwing trash into the river then the impact will be worth the effort. But, the only way to truly reach the people along the river, is to get out there and visit them.
So that's what we're going to do!
In the next few months we will be building a boat using recycled plastic bottles. It will have a wind generator, solar panels, electric engine, and be made of recycled wood. It will also have parts that will be made of trash found in the Mekong River. Don't worry (Mom), I won't be building it. We're having professional boat builders put it together and make sure it's strong enough for the voyage.
The boat will be built here in Nong Khai but our journey down the Mekong will actually start in the northern most part of Thailand (#1 - below), where the Mekong River first enters Thailand. We will then follow the river down stream, through Laos, until we arrive back to Nong Khai (#2). After a short break, to restock and check the boat, we will begin the second phase of the journey. Our goal is to eventually reach the ocean (#3), passing through Cambodia and Vietnam. But there are a few obstacles (waterfalls) on the second phase which we need to work out first. If it's too risky then we'll stop before leaving Thailand (#2.1).Click for Google Map Version
In this topic you will be able to follow along as we build the boat, get permission for the 1,500 mile (2,400km) voyage, and raise awareness of the campaign.
Post your comments below! ;D
UPDATED: Here's the campaign video.
Here's an artist rendition of what the boat's frame "might" look like. We're still waiting for the boat builder to give us the final specs.
There will be a lot more "things" on the boat (rain guards, etc.) but that image gives you a general idea of what we're going for.
Yesterday morning we did a speed/distance test on the Mekong. We sailed 4 miles in 24 minutes. That is an average of 10 mph. If we can maintain that speed with the electric engine then we should be able to complete Phase 1 of the campaign in about one week.
We'll let you know when construction begins. ;D
Ginafish said:That's the same thing I said, Ginafish. haha! I went back up to Kirk's original post and re-read it to see that he did mention it would be a carbon neutral footprint vessel with solar panel, wind generators, electric engine, and second hand wood, etc. Very cool! I am excited to see what he names her! :D
On the boat specs it looked as though there are solar panels on the top, am I imagining things, or are those just panels to keep things protected?
Until we hear back from the boat builder, we thought it would be fun to start experimenting with different bottle designs.
Of course, building it on the computer is the easy part. The hard part is putting hammer to nail and making the drawing into a reality. So today we started putting hammers and nails together to build a sample pontoon (100 bottles) to see how much weight a bundle of plastic bottles can hold.
For the sample we experimented with different bottle layouts to see which would be the most efficient and practical. Cylindrical was the easiest to make but connecting the rest of the boat to it would have been very difficult.
We also tested a trapezoid shape which turned out ok.
A rectangle will hold more bottles and create more buoyancy, but it has more drag. So we're not sure if the pontoons will end up being a rectangle or trapezoid shape. Hmmm...
Once the sample raft (100 bottles) is built we will post photos of it floating (fingers crossed).

The CIA has an almost diabolical reputation in the Arab world.

Contact Corpwatch:
2958 24th Street
San Francisco, CA
phone: +1-415-641-1633
fax: +1 510-271-8083
web: www.corpwatch.org
CorpWatch counters corporate-led globalization through education, network-building and activism. We work to foster democratic control over corporations by building grassroots globalization a diverse movement for human rights and dignity, labor rights and environmental justice.
For the past five years San Francisco Bay Area-based CorpWatch has been educating and mobilizing people through the CorpWatch.org website and various campaigns, including the Climate Justice Initiative and the UN and Corporations Project.
Initially we were known as TRAC--Transnational Resource & Action Center, and our website was called Corporate Watch. In March 2001 we simplified the situation by bringing TRAC together with our Internet presence under one name, one logo and a matching website address: CorpWatch.
In any case, with our website at the forefront of the movement against corporate-led globalization, we have repeatedly found that people know us best as CorpWatch.
In addition to the vast array of resources available on CorpWatch.org, the organization's accomplishments are many. They include playing a role in pressuring Nike to improve conditions at its overseas sweatshops by releasing a confidential independent audit that exposed the conditions at a Vietnamese sweatshop. The release of the audit garnered significant media attention, including a front-page story the New York Times
We have also co-produced five live one-hour radio broadcasts from the WTO Ministerial meeting and protests in Seattle that aired on 135 stations. We broke the story of the UN's growing entanglement with corporations in 1999 and have campaigned on it ever since. And we are working hard to re-define the global warming issue as a question of local and global human rights and environmental justice.
Our staff currently consists of seven experienced and diverse people. The organization, a project of TRAC, which remains behind the scenes as the official entity and the Tides Center, is guided by a five-member Executive Committee of our Advisory Board. The diverse, San Francisco-based Executive Committee meets regularly and helps govern the board through programmatic and financial oversight.

1901 Union St, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9412337.797602 -122.430769
Monday To Friday From 10:00 AM To 02:00 AM Saturday To Sunday From 09:00 AM To 02:00 AM
Neighborhoods: Cow Hollow, North
A no fuss neighborhood bar that's perfect for watching a game. The staff is friendly to locals and the drinks are cheap. What more could you ask for?!
the best bloody marys and bloody marias ever! amazing pool tables! greeat place to watch a basketball game!!
Fun Bar – Dive Bar???? That last chick who made that comment must be used to the more upscale places where it is more expensive. This is a sports bar for crying out loud, not a romantic bar for a date! But she had a good time I guess. I have been a regular in the Bus Stop for many years. I know the staff and the other regulars pretty well. The reason the regulars like it there? The atmosphere and the friendly staff. There are good Happy Hour specials at 4-6 pm, and each day has a different special. There are more tvs in this bar than anywhere else I have seen. There are two pool tables in the back, and cue stick lockers. Now where else will you find cue stick lockers? I have mine in there with my hubby's. The place is well kept, and has a lot of wood finish which gives it a warm atmosphere. They have a cool jukebox which is on Wi-Fi so you can play just about any song! There are several places you can order food from which deliver too! Dive by my a**!!!!
Great place for drink specials – My boyfriend took me to Bus Stop on our first date (I know, how romantic haha), but it was so fun! We played games like liars dice and cards (provided by the bar) all night and got drunk off of their bucket of beer deal and cheap margaritas. We have been going at least twice a month ever since. It's our "go to" place when we want to go out in the Marina. We just went last Friday and got sloshed (by accident) on their My Thais (sp?). It was a great, casual place to meet up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. We had to talk really loudly to each other to have a conversation, but that's expected at a bar on a Friday night.
Friday nights are the best! – I'm not sure what Mr. Wilson was looking for, but I've been a regular at the stop for a couple of years. I've always found the place to be friendly and fun. I've never seen a "beat up" "old" waitress in the place myself. I think the oldest cocktail waitress in there might be 26.
It's always crowded, and the crowd is usually friendly. I have noticed lately that there has been a more rowdy crowd the past few months, but figured it was a passing trend. Always a fun place to meet new people.
Great Service, BEST Hi Def TV – I just moved to the city and was looking for the best local haunts... the Bus Stop is my last stop! In contradiction to Mr. Wilson's comments I found the waitress to be accommodating, funny, and HOT! This place also has about 20 TVs almost all of them flat screen high def. TVs- which of course makes the game that much better! Sit at the bar if you want, or test the waitress in the lounge. This place ROCKS!
Great bar – This bar has great specials, chill people and is a great place to hang with friends. Highly recommended!
Marina types mingle with old-school San Franciscans, catching a game and a buzz at this quintessential sports bar. – In Short
In operation since 1900, the Bus Stop is a busy, yet friendly, place to watch a game and shoot some pool. The front bar windows overlook Union Street and are ideal for people-watching. Tables, TVs and video games fill the room, while a lone server runs the bar. Located through a back archway is a handsome billiards room, complete with two large tables and lockers for the regulars.
Best Sports Bar in the Marina – I agree with mwilson's comments. They were pretty accurate. The Bus Stop is the perfect mix of a Dive Bar, a Sports Bar, and a Marina Bar.
Looks like they hired some new girls though. Cute ones too.
A Great Neighborhood Bar.... – Bus Stop is really a great neighborhood bar, unless you are looking for female bartenders. The guys that the thend this bar have worked there for decades and will not be going anywhere soon! Great daily drink specials and they even buy pizza for the bar every day from the local joint Amici's. All they need to do is get some attractive females working in there somewhere. All of their cocktail waitresses are a complete disaster. Either old and beat up or dating someone on staff and giving horrible attitude and service to even the regular customers. Stay away from their bunk waitresses, use the bartenders only and you will have a great experience. Every time that the GIANTS win, PBR's are only 50 cents for the next half hour....
It's Happenin' – When I moved back to San Francisco I found the staff at Bus Stop very friendly. I quickly made friends and became a regular patrol. I have now been visiting the establishment for 12 years. I met my husband there and we both continue to enjoy the staff, the people, the drinks and the enviroment. It's not just 20 somethings that go in there. At Happy Hour you will get the regulars who are of all ages and walks of life.
Come in, have a drink and start wonderful friendships!

Last week, in the middle of the two-week-long implosion of NBC's prime-time and late-night edifice—caused by executives who, having already set fire to their building, finished it off with dynamite—Jeff Zucker, NBC Universal's president and C.E.O., appeared on "Charlie Rose," the PBS late-night interview show, to explain what had happened. He couldn't explain it, actually—but that didn't stop him from justifying it. Telling Jay Leno in 2004 that he would have to leave the "Tonight Show" in 2009 (even though his ratings were solid); promising the show to Conan O'Brien, who at that point had hosted the show following Leno's for eleven years; deciding, just months before Leno was to end his tenure at the "Tonight Show," that he would do a prime-time hour five nights a week, instead, potentially undermining O'Brien; then deciding, two weeks ago, to pull the plug on Leno's very, very bad prime-time show and return him to the "Tonight Show" slot for a half hour, pushing O'Brien to 12:05 A.M.—all of these decisions, Zucker said, were examples of "leadership," a two-pronged thing. "Leadership," he said, "is about taking chances and taking risks and also leadership is about acknowledging when they don't work."
It's not a bad definition, if you stick to it, but Zucker's words don't describe what he's done in the nine years since he left his successful tenure as the producer of the "Today" show and became the head of NBC's entertainment division. Spectacular failure has been the wind beneath his wings, with one bad decision after another leading to increased responsibility and power, to the point where, three years ago, he was given the top job. G.E., which owns a majority share of NBC Universal, will no doubt be glad to hand over fifty-one per cent of the company to Comcast, assuming the planned merger takes place. At that point, media watchers will be counting the days until Zucker gets fired.
People enjoy chatting about what's on TV more than they do about the executives who control what's on TV, but the business of TV and the pleasure of TV are inseparable, perhaps most of all when it comes to late-night talk shows—partly because the hosts themselves have made a habit of disparaging their employers. Johnny Carson did it; David Letterman did it when he was at NBC and still does it at CBS. Business was the reason that Leno was given a show at 10 P.M.—his bare-bones comedy show cost less to produce per week than the typical drama does per episode—and business was the reason that O'Brien was fired. Technically, of course, O'Brien wasn't canned, but he might as well have been; NBC must have known that bumping him to 12:05 A.M. wouldn't fly with him. Nor should it have; the idea was both stupid and cynical. It is true that the "Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" had ungreat ratings, and he couldn't touch Letterman, whereas Leno had been ahead of Letterman for more than ten years. But, interestingly, O'Brien's ratings among younger viewers were about equal with Letterman's, and that's the group that advertisers most want to reach (even though middle-aged people are the ones with the dough).
I don't think O'Brien was a smart choice for the "Tonight Show," but he should have been given at least a year before being written off. People need time. About a year and a half after Katie Couric was made anchor of the "CBS Evening News," her career seemed doomed; she hadn't been able to move the broadcast out of its third-place position, and she just wasn't catching on. But her interview with Sarah Palin in the fall of 2008 changed all that, and overnight Couric seemed to snap into place in the public's mind. Jimmy Fallon, who got his own late-night show, last year, on NBC, had such a moment—for one viewer, anyway—a couple of weeks ago, when he did a parody of an "American Idol" auditioner, singing the man's original song, a hortatory, mocking call to young men who dress sloppily to clean up their act ("Pants on the ground, pants on the ground, lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground"). Fallon, sitting on a darkened stage with an acoustic guitar, sang it as if it were an early Neil Young song, capturing perfectly Young's nasal voice and cadences. It was nothing short of inspired. This is what can happen when you allow your talent to stick around awhile.
But NBC wouldn't do that with O'Brien and couldn't do it with Leno. The network's affiliate stations around the country weren't happy about Leno's show—it was virtually guaranteed to be a weak lead-in to their local news broadcasts—but were forced contractually to air it. Leno tried to make it work—around ten minutes before the end of each show, he set up a promo for the local news, and his last words each night, shouted to the TV audience, were "Your local news starts right now!" It didn't work. NBC bowed to the affiliates and pulled the plug. It's precisely because Zucker and his team didn't take earlier risks that NBC suddenly found itself in this embarrassing predicament, scrambling to fill the now vacant 10 P.M. slot. It has done so with a motley collection of old and new, like "Law & Order" and a non-scripted Jerry Seinfeld comedy show about squabbling couples. Shortly before the Leno news was announced, the network said that it was ordering up eighteen pilots, a distinctly larger number than it has commissioned in recent years, including ten hour-long dramas; this is what NBC should have been doing all along—that would have been leadership, not merely a game of catch-up.

D-backs GM Towers on trading young talent: 'I think we know our players better than anybody else'
Originally published: Feb 10, 2014 - 2:14 pm
Arizona Diamondbacks GM Kevin Towers probably knows that better than anyone these days.
Early on in his tenure, he was lauded for acquiring key contributors like David Hernandez, Aaron Hill and J.J. Putz, but lately has been more known for trading away young talent like Trevor Bauer, David Holmberg, Matt Davidson, Tyler Skaggs and Adam Eaton.
Naturally, some moves will work out better than others, and the occasional miss is not reason enough to be completely down on a GM's plan or direction.
But when you seem to continually part with a team's top young prospects, players whom fans have heard so many promising things about as they've moved through the minor leagues, people have questions.
Towers has answers.
"I think we know our players better than anybody else, and we should," Towers told Doug and Wolf as part of Newsmakers Week on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Monday. "We maybe over-scout our players. We know character. We know, from a health standpoint, our trainers are probably the most progressive trainers that there are in the game when they're measuring spines and looking at what they do off the field. Are they smokers, are they drinkers, do they stay out late?
"And then they rank these guys."
Towers added that a player's risk level is judged, be it with potential health issues down the road or simple character flaws the organization does not want to deal with.
"We weigh all those things," he said. "To me, sometimes these decisions, people say, 'Why are you doing that,' well I can't explain it all the time, but there's reasons sometimes behind my madness.
"A lot of it is I don't think they're going to continue to trend upward. I think we've seen what we're going to get, and they might even go the other way."
And yes, Towers understands sometimes he'll be right and sometimes he'll be wrong. But regardless of how a deal ultimately turns out, every move he's made has been done so with one goal in mind.
"Every move that I've made or make, myself as well as our baseball operations staff, is for the betterment of this organization," he said. "It's not for selfish reasons or because I've got an ego or I don't like this guy as a person. It's because I think, in my heart of hearts, that we're going to be a better ball club not only now, but in the future."
But don't get him wrong, he does want to win now, and moves have certainly been made hoping to reach that end.
"If you're sitting there worrying about rebuilding and three, four, five years down the road, you're not going to be in this chair much longer," he said. "It used to be different that way, not anymore."

the Nets and Knicks are not title contenders, they are wasting space here
Give And Go: What could stop five contenders from cracking conference finals?
Give And Go is a recurring feature in which The Point Forward's Ben Golliver and Rob Mahoney bat an NBA topic du jour back and forth.
This week: digging into five would-be contenders that finished outside the NBA's final four in 2013, and what might hold them back in 2014.
1. With Russell Westbrook back, the Thunder could well be the Western Conference favorites. What could get in the way of their second trip to the NBA Finals in three years?
Ben Golliver: After preaching the Thunder's gospel for most of last season — I'm still not sure everyone realizes just how amazing their regular season scoring differential was — you won't find me changing my tune. I would summarize my thoughts on Oklahoma City in this order. One: As good as the Spurs were, they don't make the Finals if Westbrook is healthy. Two: Kevin Martin was a very valuable, but not irreplaceable, rotation piece. Three: The Thunder's offense will find a way to be elite as long as Kevin Durant and Westbrook are both available. Four: It's really a shame that Mikhail Prokhorov doesn't own this team, because the core is so good that the extravagant extras his limitless bankroll would offer could produce the Heat-killing machine that the basketball world is ready to see.
Oklahoma City has upped its winning percentage every year since Durant's rookie season, and it's possible that 2014 finally sees the end of that continual improvement simply because the bar was set high at 60 wins in 2012-13. Even if that does happen, it's difficult to envision the Thunder's taking a meaningful step backward when they return such a large portion of last year's balanced, deep and athletic unit. Put me in the group that believes only a major injury at an inopportune time in the playoffs will stop them from winning the West.
Rob Mahoney: While the Thunder deserve preference as the West favorite, I hesitate to embroider their logo on a "WESTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS" T-shirt just yet. Losing Martin will hurt. It takes a very particular player to oscillate between acting as an ideal complement to two high-usage superstars and working as a primary creator when asked, but Martin filled that role beautifully for OKC and played a part in most of the team's top lineups. With him gone, I'm not sure that I'm quite ready to trust Jeremy Lamb and Reggie Jackson to the degree to which coach Scott Brooks will now be required.
MAHONEY: Lamb among young players on the spot in 2013-14
Durant and Westbrook are fantastic, and the team's core is more than capable enough to solidify the Thunder as a top-flight contender despite Martin's departure. But there's just enough reason for doubt to leave the West's playoff outlook as something of an open question. As many as six teams look to be contenders, and the Thunder appear to be first or second among them in championship viability. But it's one thing to accept the transition (and downgrade) from James Harden to Martin, and another entirely to assume consistency in the transition from Martin to two shaky young players.
2. Chicago will likely be a credible contender with Derrick Rose's return, but what might come to separate the Bulls from a chance to take the Eastern Conference?
Mahoney: Miami is the easy answer here, and the definitive one. Everything that the Bulls accomplish will be measured against the defending champions, and rightly so; obstacles loom no larger than the Heat, who have both improved their roster and their ability to execute their game plan since last meeting a Rose-led Bulls team, in the 2011 conference finals. Chicago still has the potential to trouble Miami in a seven-game series, and to take the conference throne if all goes according to plan. But the actualization of that plan begins with Rose being Rose, a development we can't quite take for granted, given the length of his absence and the reasoning behind his ever-tentative return timeline.
MAHONEY: Grading the Bulls' offseason
Both are particularly relevant because the Heat will load up on Rose in a potential postseason matchup, a tactic that worked rather effectively two years ago. If Rose isn't able to drive and shoot with confidence to beat Miami's defensive pressure on the perimeter, he'll have to — at the very least — heighten his awareness as a playmaker. With their pick-and-roll traps in that 2011 series, the Heat held Rose to 35 percent shooting and forced him into 3.8 turnovers per game. Miami's D has only become that much more ferocious since then.
Rose is capable of beating that first line of defense with smart passing and selective attacking, and it's quite possible that his initial playoff matchup with the Heat was simply the kind of trial that all young players experience. But he's yet to put it all together in a way that could help Chicago sustain scoring against such an aggressive, scrambling defense, and for that reason I'll remain slightly skeptical of the Bulls' chances to take the conference.
Golliver: So much bandwidth has been spent on Rose injury non-updates and outraged responses to his year-long absence that I dare say many have forgotten just how tremendous the Bulls were when he was on the court. A quick reminder: When Rose played, the Bulls were a combined 94-26 (.783) during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons. Put in simpler terms: Chicago went 68-14 in Rose's last 82 regular-season games.
Yes, a number of the rotation players have turned over in the interim, including Omer Asik, Ronnie Brewer, Kyle Korver and C.J. Watson, but the emergence of Jimmy Butler and the additions of Marquis Teague and now Mike Dunleavy during Rose's absence should be taken very seriously. Based on the proven track record of the Tom Thibodeau/Rose/Joakim Noah/Luol Deng/Taj Gibson/Carlos Boozer combination, I would start the Bulls at No. 2 on the East pecking order, behind only the Heat.
That brings us to the question of whether Chicago is positioned to defeat Miami in a seven-game series. The answer would seem to be "yes" rather than "YES!" at least until Rose has proved that he is at or near 100 percent and all of the Bulls' bigs make it to the playoffs in good shape. The Bulls have their heart, toughness, team-first, defense-first ducks in a row, but they have also always seemed one dynamic perimeter scorer short of cracking Miami's defense. That elusive piece appears to linger as the two teams get ready for what will be a must-see opening-night showdown.
boy golliver is a lot smarter than poor mahoney.
kevin martin was catastrophically bad on defense in the post season. So, no, his loss wont hurt at all. In fact forcing brooks to play Lamb is a huge uptick.
I had to laugh out loud at the suggestion that Miami and Chicago are the two pillars of the Eastern Conference. BWAHAHA! Let me remind everyone, the only team that has had any measure of success against Miami that's still largely intact is the Indiana Pacers. 2011-2012 Boston Celtics gave them trouble, but they're not together any more. 2010-2011 Chicago Bulls gave them trouble, but guess what? That team's no longer together, either. Indiana returns 100% of the best starting 5 in basketball. Period. Look it up, no other 5 put up consistent +/- numbers like Hibbert, West, George, Lance and Hill. Add to that the upgrades of so many trouble positions on the bench, coupled with the return of swingman Danny Granger and the Pacers downfall from last season (an absolutely ATROCIOUS bench) becomes a benefit. There's Miami at the top, they're the 2 time defending world champs, Indiana next, as they've proven to be an excellent defensive team and should get better offensively (which they were a top 10 offense at the ASB last season), then everyone else. BKN has questions marks (age and coaching, mostly), Chicago has question marks (Rose, health, Boozer, and the Bench Mob). If any two teams are the "pillars" of the East, it's Miami and Indiana. Quit living on past accomplishments.
This article could have been written in one phrase:
The Miami Heat.
A Melo led team will never win a title. Guy is no Leborn, Wade or Kobe that's for sure. He just scores a lot of points ,sells a lot of tickets. If he decides to be no 2 somewhere maybe till then forget it. Didn't work for Denver whose owner was $20M over the cap building team around Melo wont work in NY either.
i'm tired of you media doush-bags taking shots at the Knicks. Sure STAT's 20 mil could have been better spent elsewhere, but when no one else was coming to NY. Were the Knicks going to say no? STAT's the reason the Knicks are relevant again, and only real Ny Knicks fans know that. His body has let him down, but you @ssholes at SI see fit to keep taking shot sat him because it's the easy thing to do. Unfortunately, the kicks are handicapped by his contract, but he didn't sign in NY knowing that his body was going to breakdown and let him down. Screw you guys for not being more sensitive, and I hope you rot in journalism hell for not being more considerate. The Knicks did the best they could with what they had, and they'll prove you wrong just like they did last year when ESPN and SI had them finishing no better than 5th in the East...BOOK IT. #nykallday #knickstape
Rose will get the sniffles and miss 3 months...
@jstepplingHuh? Who cares if Martin was bad on Defense? OKC was one of the best defensive teams with him. Their glaring weakness is no other reliable offensive force beyond Durant and Westbrook. Those two are really good scorers, and on occasion others like Ibaka step up, but as a top contender you can't rely on two real sources of offense even if those sources are potent. Losing Harden was a step down and losing Martin was another. At some point these issues will begin to haunt OKC (if they haven't already).
@DrewinIndy when wade was getting 8 points a game and bosh nothing, it was lebron just like in cleveland putting the team on his back.
@DrewinIndy Pacers match up well with the heat, this much is true. But a healthy rose who plays even 80% of what his form was will blow the pacers away.
@DrewinIndy What a pack of nonsense. The Pacers only became an Eastern contender in Rose's absence. Now that he's back, he's going to put the Pacers back exactly where they belong: behind the Chicago Bulls, the best defensive team in the NBA.
@FredFlintsone Lebron joined Wade and Bosh. Melo joined broken down Amare. Big difference.
Hahahaha. Were you crying the whole time you wrote that?
@Ohno Why are you calling him STAT`s he was good in NY for like 40 games...you dont earn a nick name in 40 games if thats the case then we should be calling Jeramy Lynn the TRUTH calling Amar`e stats thats funny Career averages of 20&8 for a power forward who played most of his career with Steve Nash
@Ohno I have to admit,if no one else will,Knicks fans are great. Now,that when that contract of "Stats" is brought up,the fans act like b%#@^es. You are right his body broke down,but the Knicks should've thought about that but didn't. Now they have no money to keep getting better. Don't blame the outsiders,blame the team.
@SukeMadiq Sounds like you're afraid of Rose coming back at full strength. Well that's not a surprise - every single NBA team should be afraid of Rose coming back, because he's on a mission to humiliate all of you.
@SukeMadiq hard to disagree with you there...
@ajudki20 @jsteppling what do you mean who cares if he is bad on defense?????????????????? What does that remark mean? Defense doesnt matter? Um, he was so freaking bad post season that brooks had to finally take him out for stretches because he was being abused. Read zach lowe's description of the post season for OKC: Defense ALWAYS matters. And martin cant play it at all, in fact he is among the worst permiter defenders in the NBA.
@NucLear The Indiana Pacers are the best defensive team in the NBA. Rose's return doesn't make the Bulls significantly better on defense. Roy Hibbert is the best interior defender in the league, and Paul George is a better perimeter defender than anyone on Chicago. There's 82 games to be played and anything can happen, but dismiss the Indiana Pacers at your own peril.
He's calling him that because it's been his nickname his whole career and its tattooed on his neck. Been that way since he was a high schooler.
@eddie767 @Ohno I like STAT and really wish he could stay healthy, but the Knicks didn't have a ton of options. They pretty much *had* to offer him that deal, and while it's not working out now, Amare made an impact.
Remember, sports are a business, and the Knicks had the whole city waiting for a LBJ signing that wasn't happening. They had little choice but to sign SOMEONE to a max deal as an attempt to revitalize basketball in NYC. Knicks hadn't made the playoffs in 10 years and were a perennial loser.
STAT was the start of a brand rebuild and served his purpose. Knicks have good attendance and the fans are interested again. Amare helped a lot with that. Contract isn't helping things now, but it absolutely did a lot to help the franchise.
@jsteppling @ajudki20 Of course Defense always matters. But did OKC lose in the playoffs because their D was not good enough? No. So it isn't a big concern. How are they going to score enough when one their big 2 is having an off night? They needed a slight upgrade to spread scoring and got a downgrade instead. It would be great if that 3rd option was a great two way player, but they need another scorer, not another defender. Guys that do both well are rare. You seem to dislike Martin which is fine. He certainly isn't god's gift to defense. But he helped that team get where it needed to. Obviously the team was not designed to be without Westbrook.

Permission of lender to debtor for Hajj
If a Muslim wants to perform the obligatory duty of Hajj, and he is in debt, if he seeks the permission of the person or people who loaned him the money, is his Hajj valid?.
Praise be to Allaah.
If the situation is as described, and the person or people who loaned you the money give you permission to go for Hajj before you pay off the loan, then there is nothing wrong with your doing Hajj before you pay off the debt, and the fact that you are in debt does not affect the validity of your Hajj in this case.
And Allaah is the Source of strength.

Men's Soccer Falls 3-2 to Nationally-Ranked Young Harris
DAHLONEGA, Ga. – The North Georgia College & State University men's soccer team played with extreme spirit Saturday night in front of their home crowd. However, despite setting an extremely fast pace that pushed No. 18 Young Harris College to its limit, the Saints fell 3-2 in their Peach Belt Conference opener.
The Saints start the conference campaign 0-1 with a 2-3 record overall while the Mountain Lions begin PBC play 1-0 with a 5-0 record.
The first half of the game saw two major momentum swings as Young Harris controlled the early going. The Mountain Lions scored their first two goals four minutes apart with the first score coming just 12 minutes into the game.
William Schonfeldt headed the ball into the net off a corner by Lewis Hilton for the first score before Hilton scored a goal of his own to clean up Khurram Shazad's play into the box.
Despite being down 2-0 early, the Saints did not give up and kept pressuring the Young Harris defense and, eventually, it paid off as Ashley Walker scored an own goal in the 29th-minute.
With the deficit cut in half, Pat Parris' men turned up the heat even more and just five minutes later, freshman Amin El-Shami scored an unassisted goal – the first of his career. Leading up to the score, El-Shami made a beautiful tackle on a Young Harris defender to capture the ball, then turned and took the ball into the box for the score.
The two went into half time tied at 2-2, but it was Young Harris that came out with just a little more energy. Andreas Pechmann scored 14 minutes into the second stanza to break the tie and eventually win the game for the Mountain Lions.
The Saints gave it everything they had in the closing minutes, but were unable to break through to find the equalizer.
The two squads were even in shots (16-16) and both goalies made six saves, but Young Harris held the slight advantage in corner kicks (8-6).
North Georgia's next two games will be on the road and out of conference. The Saints will first travel on Wednesday, Sept. 19 to Lees-McRae located in Banner Elk, N.C. for a 3:00 p.m. match before traveling to Anderson, S.C. to take on Anderson University on Saturday, Sept. 26 at 4:00 p.m.
