I do not have WordPress SEO 1.1 or above so are there any other plugins that could be causing this issue?
I also keep getting the following error message:
"The backup failed: The server attempted to retrieve the data, but received junk from your blog. This can happen if your blog is not accessible over the internet. Otherwise, you may have a third-party plugin installed that is changing the backup data as the server tries to receive it. Please contact support if this is the case so we may improve compatibility. Please consult the event log for more information."
I started using this Backup Dec 20, 2011. I had it set to backup daily. There have been two "unexpected stops," one "partial (2 errors)," and most recently the last two backups (one manual and one scheduled) have failed altogether.
What could be wrong? I am holding off on updating to the latest version of WordPress until I figure this out.

FILM; The Taskmaster Of 'The Titanic'
By JUSTINE ELIAS
Published: December 14, 1997
WHEN IT OPENS ON Friday, ''Titanic,'' the movie that has long been the subject of Hollywood gossip and public fascination, will be almost six months late and $100 million over its original $100 million budget. But there is nothing personally slow or extravagant about the film's director, writer, producer and editor, James Cameron. He is a tall, thin man with a pale, hard-edged face and a brutal haircut, and he is a supremely focused taskmaster who speaks so fast that his associates can scarcely apprehend one of his ideas before he has moved to the next.
Case in point: As Mr. Cameron critiqued the final cut of ''Titanic,'' giving his last directions regarding its printing, his obsessive, rapid-fire remarks so confounded his colleagues that they had to scramble to videotape him so they would be able to review his commentary later and carry out his orders. ''There's no way to take notes when I get going,'' Mr. Cameron said recently. ''And usually there is no second chance.''
During a decadelong run of seven technically innovative, emotionally complex action films -- from ''The Terminator'' (1984) to ''Aliens'' (1986) to ''True Lies'' (1994) -- Mr. Cameron, who is 43, moved boldly in establishing himself as the leading action-movie director. All told, his films have earned more than half a billion dollars and 18 Academy Award nominations. ''Titanic,'' which is both a lavish simulation of one of the worst sea disasters ever and an old-style romance, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, may serve notice that Mr. Cameron is something more: a Hollywood director who has learned how to put technological innovation, and a huge budget, at the service of drama.
Mr. Cameron is known for his perfectionism and for highhanded dealings with actors, crew and studio bosses. His friend William Wisher, with whom he wrote the screenplay for ''Terminator 2: Judgment Day,'' calls him, only half-joking, ''the ultimate scuba-diving Navy Seal filmmaker.'' But Mr. Cameron also has a reputation for getting things done under adverse circumstances, and that reputation will be enhanced now that ''Titanic,'' despite its troubled history, is arriving in theaters, to much early acclaim, with some chance of breaking even if not actually making money.
The history of the movie is almost as familiar as that of the Titanic, the state-of-the-art British ocean liner that sank in the early hours of April 15, 1912, after colliding with an iceberg in the North Atlantic (more than 1,500 of some 2,200 people aboard died). Mr. Cameron and his team started to research the ship's story more than five years ago. In typical Cameron fashion, he eventually insisted on filming the actual wreckage, which was discovered in 1986 about 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland.
He did so with the help of his brother Michael, a mechanical engineer who fashioned a mobile titanium housing that could protect a 35-millimeter movie camera from the water pressure two and a half miles down and could be operated by remote control from a small submarine. (Film from this expedition is included in ''Titanic,'' as part of a contemporary story that frames the historical account.)
In May 1996, the original backer of ''Titanic,'' 20th Century Fox, became nervous about Mr. Cameron's rising costs and sought a production partner. Paramount kicked in $65 million, on the condition that it have the distribution rights in the United States and Canada. As Mr. Cameron continued to film the contemporary part of his story on a Russian scientific boat off the coast of Nova Scotia, Fox finished constructing its new production center in Rosarito, Mexico. There, in the fall of 1996, set designers constructed a nine-tenths-scale model of the opulent ship and a 12-acre water tank, and Mr. Cameron proceeded to re-create the sinking of the Titanic.
After shooting fell a month behind schedule -- because of weather and technical difficulties and not, Mr. Cameron said, injuries on the set and a bizarre incident in which 80 members of the cast and crew were poisoned by tainted seafood -- the projected release date, July 2, became impossible to meet. To help cut costs during the additional months of post-production, Mr. Cameron offered to forgo the salaries for his work as director and producer, receiving only his screenwriting fee.
MR. CAMERON'S previous screen stories, about self-reliant heroines who tangle with killer aliens, killer androids and killer spies, were composed on a large canvas. This time, he has dared to go farther, setting his story in the midst of one of the most potent symbols of 20th-century hubris. He said he wanted audiences to come away from ''Titanic'' not primarily awed by effects-driven spectacle but humbled by the depiction of the hard choices faced by the people on the ship.
Mr. Cameron said that in his ''Titanic'' he wanted to take a different tack from that taken in the almost documentarylike ''Night to Remember,'' the acclaimed 1958 British film. ''I wanted to honor the reality of Titanic, but I don't want that to get in the way of telling a great story,'' he said. ''This is the most character-driven script I've ever done. I wanted it to be about the Titanic in the way that 'Dr. Zhivago' is about the Russian Revolution. It isn't, really. It's about these two people.''

Rain Repellency for Shipboard Aircraft Transparency

AbstractNavy aircraft often have to taxi, take-off, and land during conditions of differing amounts of rain. While performing taxi and take-off operations the pilot must be able to clearly see ground crew directions. During landing, the pilot must be able to clearly see landing strip lights, and for carrier landings, the Optical Landing System (OLS). As a consequence, maintaining visibility during inclement weather is critical to flight crew operations. This can be a difficult task as aircraft transparency materials are not inherently water repellent and there are no mechanical means of maintaining viability. To address this issue, the Navy is interested in the development of innovative methods to promote water shedding during ground and low speed operations. Under the proposed program, METSS will address this issue by using a proprietary process to permanently treat the surface of existing aircraft transparency topcoat materials with an appropriate level of short chain hydrophobic polymers to create a highly rain repellent surface. The hydrophobic materials will remain permanently anchored into the surface of the topcoat via polymer chain entanglement networks or, alternatively, cross-linked into the polyurethane coating, essentially forming an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN). The significant advantage of the proposed process is that the bulk properties of the aircraft transparency topcoat will not be measurably altered by the surface treatment process as the amount of materials infused into the surface of the topcoat will be quantified at molecular levels. Critical performance testing will be conducted to demonstrate rain repellency while maintaining strict adherence to optical property requirements and service life performance in an aggressive marine aviation environment.

The U.S. Gulf Coast port handled 1.09 million TEUs during the first half of 2016, a 4 percent decline from the corresponding period in 2015.
ZS Fund has acquired Amerijet Holdings, an operator of cargo aircraft under the name Amerijet International, along with logistics services subsidiary ITN Worldwide for an undisclosed sum.
Until now, Freightos has focused on helping forwarders quote faster, but since January, the logistics technology provider has been beta testing its China-to-United States marketplace.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The intermodal center, which is scheduled to commence operations in the late summer of 2018, will enable shippers from surrounding states to more easily reach the Port of Savannah by rail instead of truck, the Georgia Ports Authority said.
The Philadelphia Regional Port Authority's board of directors has named Jeff Theobald as its new chief executive officer, replacing James T. McDermott, Jr.
Federal Maritime Commissioner Richard A. Lidinsky Jr. said that ports in the United States must continue to expand and improve to handle rising container volumes in order to stay competitive with neighboring foreign ports.

The cumshots are all internal pops, but the focus here is, refreshingly, on the getting there rather than the finale. Five ladies treat the viewer to a stylish solo tease, shot partially in B/W, then get down to sucking, rubdowns with body butter (including some possibly inadvertent, but recognizable and amusing, product placement), and smokin' hot pounding action. Exotic Mariane and eager Lorrayne do anal, but Michelle Lay steals the show, with her playful smiles and sense of fun, as she rides Nick Manning. Lorrayne is also fun to watch, as Don Picone stuffs her lace g-string in her pussy and sucks it back out again.
This is very formulaic, with each scene beginning the same way, and while the fetish is cream pies, director Ron Hightower doesn't make a big deal of it, preferring instead to make this vid user-friendly for a less specific audience.
Retailing: In the wall-to-wall section, but point out to internal pops enthusiasts.

By email@example.com 15, 2013
FORT BENNING, Ga. (March 13, 2013) -- Many Soldiers have passed through Fort Benning on their way to completing a larger mission.
On March 4, Leonard "Mac" McQuown, a former Marine, did the same.
McQuown is in the midst of a six-year journey to walk to every state capital in an effort to raise awareness and funds for veterans.
McQuown left his home in Stafford, Va., on Sept. 11, 2011, and walked to ground zero in New York before turning south and heading for Florida.
So far, he has visited six state capitals, walked through nine states, and has traveled a total of 1,680 miles on foot.
However, McQuown said he does not feel comfortable with the attention he often receives on his walk.
"I'm just a man on a mission," McQuown said. "I never want the spotlight to be on me, but the cause that I'm walking for."
McQuown said he first came up with the idea for the walk in the days following Sept. 11.
"When 9/11 happened, it affected everybody in a certain way," McQuown said. "The way that it affected me was that it caused me to notice that when our veterans came home from combat, whether they came back in one piece or were wounded or even if they paid the ultimate price, they were soon forgotten about. That didn't sit well with me at all. That seems to happen with every conflict that we're engaged in.
"So, I wanted to do something to bring the attention back to the veterans. So, I prayed about it, and it occurred to me that every state produces a veteran. So, what better way to call attention to it than to walk to all 50 capitals?"
While McQuown is usually alone while he walks, he does have a strong support structure in the form of Silver Star Families of America, a nonprofit organization committed to helping wounded or ill veterans, and a bevy of friendships he has forged through social media.
It was because of one of those friendships that McQuown decided to make his way here.
His path to Fort Benning began when he posted a message on his Facebook page asking for donations of beef jerky.
"I found that beef jerky on the road is good for me because it's low in fat, and provides a lot of energy and is easy to eat while I'm walking," McQuown said. "So, a couple of weeks ago, I went on my Facebook page, and started Operation Beef Jerky, where people could send beef jerky for me."
Jaymie Oakley, a Columbus resident, had been following McQuown's journey on Facebook for some time, and when the call for beef jerky went out, she and her daughter Katy, a Junior ROTC cadet at Northside High School, responded.
"We saw where he needed beef jerky, and my daughter Katie decided she wanted to try to help out, and we came up with the idea that for every two bags that she bought, we were going to try to find someone to donate one bag," Oakley said.
However, she said many businesses were unwilling to help, leading her to ask the commissary for help.
"We went to several different businesses, and I don't know whether or not they thought this was a scam, but even after I showed them the website and the Facebook page, they still didn't want to help us out," Oakley said.
Store director Arrie Carson contacted Dee Shaw, a vendor representative, and the end result was 22 bags of beef jerky being mailed to McQuown while he was on the road in Florida.
After receiving the donation, McQuown decided to make his way to Columbus to thank the Oakleys, Carson and Shaw personally.
After leaving Columbus, McQuown was headed to Warner Robins before making his way north to Atlanta, and then to Nashville, Tenn.
From Nashville, his planned route will take him south to Montgomery, Ala., where he will begin the long trek west to California.
Upon arrival in California, McQuown will have completed one third of his walk, and will make his way back to the East Coast, moving north and south as necessary to visit all state capitals in between.
His journey will end at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, and McQuown said any assistance people are willing to give along the way would be much appreciated.
"I know money's tight for everyone right now, so if everyone could just keep us in their prayers if they can't donate financially, that would be much appreciated," McQuown said. "That's been so powerful on this walk. I've had days where everything that could go wrong did go wrong and everything was falling to pieces, but somebody came out of the blue to help."
To follow McQuown's journey or for information on how to donate, visit operationwalkamerica.org or facebook.com/macmcquownwalking. McQuown can also be reached via email at email@example.com.

Steve Horner's Top 5 Best Quotes
There's something to be said about a guy with no filter. That's Steve Horner, brother of the Independence Party-endorsed gubernatorial candidate Tom Horner. While Tom has made headlines with his political ambitions, Steve has earned himself plenty of space in print and time on the airwaves with his blunt rhetoric and his quest to put the kibosh on Ladies' Nights everywhere. In tribute to a man not afraid to say what's on his mind, here are the top 5 Steve Horner quotes found on the Internet.
1. Steve's take on his legal counsel.
"The lawyer I hired wasn't worth a damn," Horner proclaims. "She just fell into line with the dyke prosecutor, who was nothing more than a bitch with balls."
--"The Makings of an Angry White Guy," published in City Pages in 1997.
2. Steve's take on a Denver County Judge. While he continued to file complaints with the Division of Civil Rights, he was also filing lawsuits in Denver County Court, where he called one judge who ruled against him "a pussy-whipped farthead."
--"Steve Horner fights for his right to be wrong," published in Denver's Westword August 2009.
3. Steve's take on liberals. "Liberals are about pro-choice and gay rights. And what's gay rights about? It's about blow jobs and fucking in the ass," he opines, jumping from his chair to slap his knee. "That kind of stuff runs through everyone's mind just before they go to sleep at night. But let's not have parades to celebrate it! Let's not confuse our kids into thinking they have to act on their lust!"
--"The Makings of an Angry White Guy," City Pages 1997.
4. Steve's take on the difference between him and his brother.
"I spent 30 days in the Ramsey County workhouse for nonthreatening phone calls I made to the commissioner of Minnesota's Department of Human Rights for what I believe was her failure to protect my civil rights -- the rights of a balding white guy. I doubt Tom has ever had so much as a traffic ticket."
--Steve Horner's letter-to-the-editor, published in The Minnesota Daily last month.
5. Steve's take on his quest to stop Ladies' Nights. Steve: "Listen, a lot of people tell me, 'Steve, why didn't you just go to another bar?' Rosa Parks stood for the principles of equal rights. A lot of people say 'Well why didn't she just get up and get on another bus?'"
John Oliver: "How's this for a list? Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela, the girl in Tiananmen square with the flower, and now, Steve horner. What do you think?"
Steve: "And Muhammad Ali."
- A February 2007 episode of The Daily Show.
"It would not be sacrilegious to put me in the same camp as Jesus Christ."
--The Daily Show, 2007.

The menu is no doubt loaded with several delicious dishes. And yet, The Station Burger continues to be one of the most popular. This downtown core restaurant features one of the best, biggest and juiciest burgers in town. Prepared medium rare, it's topped with lettuce, beet chutney and aged cheddar all between a soft bun.
Price – $21
HOTB Burger – Home of The Brave
Chef Nate heads this American style restaurant and with that being said, the classic American burger is taken very seriously here. House Ground AAA Ribeye, house pickle mayo, house American Cheese, tomato and lettuce, this is one of the best burgers in Toronto for a reason. Don't be thrown up by the knife going through the burger. You may need it to eat the burger.

When attempting to add a normal A record (which has so far always worked), the Microsoft dnsmgmt app in MMC is returning a successful creation message "The host record oneworld.mydomain.com was successfully created". However, after refreshing the zone, it displays a folder icon next to "oneworld" indicating a sub domain, i.e. it is not the A record dnsmgmt said it created successfully.
This is really strange behavior that has never happened previously. We have tried this on two separate PCs and remote consoled into the primary DNS server and tried adding the same A record with the same results.
Any help is appreciated.

Won Climbs Toward Nine-Month High as Foreigners Buy Korea Stocks
South Korea's won rose to within 0.1 percent of a nine-month high after global funds extended a buying spree of local shares. Government bonds were unchanged.
The currency recovered earlier losses as foreigners bought more South Korean stocks than they sold for a record 38th day, exchange data show. The won traded in a narrow range before U.S. jobs data that may offer clues about the timing of a reduction in stimulus that has fueled emerging-market inflows. The world's largest economy added 180,000 jobs last month after boosting positions by 169,000 in August, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Today's report, delayed by a 16-day government shutdown, was originally slated for Oct. 4.
"Foreign investors are buying shares non-stop," said Jude Noh, the chief currency trader at Suhyup Bank in Seoul. "The U.S. jobs report is likely to meet the expectations, although the market impact may be limited since the figures won't reflect the shutdown."
The won climbed 0.1 percent to close at 1,060.95 per dollar in Seoul, after sliding as much as 0.2 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It touched 1,059.75 yesterday, the strongest level since Jan. 21. One-month implied volatility, a measure of expected moves in the exchange rate used to price options, dropped 14 basis points, or 0.14 percentage point, to 5.95 percent.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said in June the central bank may start reducing $85 billion of monthly bond purchases if the U.S. economy grows as projected.
Currency Intervention
Intervention in the currency market by the Bank of Korea is expected to continue and the won trading below 11 per Japanese yen is a "major worry," Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. strategists including New York-based Marc Chandler wrote in a research note yesterday. South Korea is monitoring fund inflows and currency moves to identify speculative activities and will prevent "herd behavior," Finance Ministry Director Kim Seong Wook said Oct. 18.
The won traded at 10.79 per yen and has advanced 28 percent in the past year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. A stronger currency makes it harder for South Korean exporters such as Samsung Electronics Co. and Hyundai Motor Co. to compete against Japanese rivals overseas.
The yield on South Korea's 2.75 percent sovereign bonds due June 2016 was unchanged at 2.84 percent, according to Korea Exchange Inc. prices.

About Aditi Surti
Aditi Surti is a well known and loved Facilitator. She was one of the first six people in India to start facilitating Access Bars Classes in late 2012. She is known for her effervescence, humour, a sense of lightness, allowance and overall ease of being.
Aditi grew up overseas and lived most of her adult life in Mumbai, India. She has battled with physical abuse as a teenager and in her 20's a phase of alcohol addiction and acute depression. She grew up amidst the ravages of the Gulf war and later the 9/11 tragedy that affected her deeply. All throughout she always felt that there was more to her life than this. She struggled with corporate jobs and could not find what she was looking for. Deep angst, sadness and a sense of resignation pushed her to find meaning and joy.
She then began her journey as a seeker a decade ago and dabbled with various forms of healing and therapies. Being an alternative therapist and very highly aware energy healer, she found Access Consciousness in late 2011. After a few months of listening to loads of audios and clearing various aspects of her life, she attended her first Bars Class in July 2012. She became a Bars Facilitator in Sept 2012 and began facilitating Bars Classes across India.
Other than Access Consciousness, she has done Clinical Hypnotherapy, Bach Flower Remedy, Past Life Regression, EFT, Matrix Energetics, Matrix Reimprinting, The Journey and Energy Medicine.Every modality that Aditi learnt contributed to her transformation. She found courage, resilience, allowance and forgiveness, mostly for herself. Access Consciousness took her to a pinnacle of herself that she had never known. It opened up possibilities in her life that she had dismissed as "never will happen". Aditi truly stepped into her potency and has transformed into a highly potent creator of an amazing life. She invites truly conscious relationships in her life especially of that with her amazing husband and 6 year old son. She is known to contribute to lives of many of her friends, colleges and clients.
Aditi has also hosted and contributed to many of the Access Consciousness Facilitators worldwide and brought them into India - Susan Lazar Hart for 3 Day Body Classes, Shannon O'Hara for Talk to the Entities, Blossom Benedict for Right Voice For You, Glenna rice for 3 Day Body Classes, Anne Maxwell for Conscious Parents-Conscious Kids and Healer's Class, and Gary Douglas, the founder of Access Consciousness, Dr. Dain Heer for "Being You, Changing the World" and Energetic Synthesis of Being and Simone Milasas for "Joy of Business".
Today for Aditi, AWARENESS, BEING and ALLOWANCE are her greatest keys to joy and freedom. She is a powerful catalyst for the lives of those around her through her kindness and contribution. She is a Access Consciousness Certified Facilitator, Talk to the Entities Facilitator, Right Voice For You Facilitator and Access Body Process Facilitator and she holds classes for people across the country.

The southern wall of the theater's (largely collapsed) stage building was also the northern closing wall of the stadium. The facade facing the stadium was 37 m wide, 19 m in height and decorated (with marble) with two registers of eight large arches separated by columns. On the ground floor six square doorways led into the theater (to the 'orchestra'/stage, to be precise); one of them can be seen on the picture, still half filled with earth and debris.Correspondent: J.M.Criel, Antwerpen.Source: 'Antik Stadyumlar' – Secda Saltuk (Istanbul 1995).

FO: Babes in the Woods blanket
2011 will forever be known to me as The Year of the Baby Blanket. I spent 12 straight months knitting nothing but baby blankets. Here is the last one!
Free pattern from Caron: http://www.caron.com/projects/ss/ss_...s_blanket.html
My ravelry notes with more pictures: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Shan...s-baby-blanket
That is my co-worker's son, James, who is now 5 weeks old. :heart:
Oh, how adorable! You've done wonderful work on your baby blankets. This one is a perfect combination of color and pattern. And the baby agrees.
It is really pretty. And the baby looks so cozy :)
What a wonderful baby blanket! :muah:
What a beautiful blanket! :inlove:
Beautiful! And in it baby went night night. Winning combination. :yay:
My coworker texted me that picture with the caption, "He was fussy so I wrapped him in this blanket and he calmed right down. He may not like you but he likes your work!"
I spent the afternoon with them yesterday and tried to hold James 3 separate times and each time he started to cry after 3 minutes, haha. I finally meet a baby I WANT to hold and he wants nothing to do with me! So it goes. It will be a funny story to tell him when he's older.
:cheering: :cheering: :cheering:
What a gorgeous blanket and for such an adorable (though sometimes uncooperative) recipient!
You did a fabulous job on this blanket, and I bet your coworker was thrilled!

The Christian Education program at Rutgers invites people to grow in faith and discipleship through the study of scripture, theology, and the world in which we are called to serve. We believe people of all ages learn best when questions and doubts are explored rather than stifled, and when everyone is welcome and respected.
When I was a teenager, I was always angry at the church. There were so many things that needed to be changed. Through the years I found that Rutgers was a place that let me say those things. They let me talk about what I thought needed changing, and they helped form me. I feel very grateful for that, and I like this place that takes seriously what we're called to be as Christians, and we do struggle with it, and that's what I like – the fact that we're willing to change and grow and struggle.

Shedding Some Light on the DARK Act
July 20, 2015 in Uncategorized
A Message from Brian Snyder, Executive Director of PASA
PASA Members & Friends,
Since 2008, at least five polls have shown 90% or more of Americans support labeling food containing Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). Last Tuesday, the House Agricultural Committee in Congress decided to go against the supermajority of their constituents, and voted the deceptively named Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act (H.R. 1599) through committee.
More appropriately labeled the Deny Americans the Right to Know (DARK) Act by its opponents, H.R. 1599 would continue the failed policy of "voluntary" labeling of GMO foods, while:
- Stopping state and local governments from requiring labeling of foods that contain GMOs
- Preventing regulation of genetically engineered crops through local control, which is used to protect organic and sustainable farms from contamination
- Banning the Food and Drug Administration from requiring companies to label foods containing GMOs

The eight-time Pro Bowler, who had an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee three weeks ago to help relieve swelling, hopes to play in Chicago's National Football League season opener against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
"He had a good first day back," Bears coach Lovie Smith told reporters. "He was one of the guys. Today was back to the normal routine as much as anything.
"He's got to get in shape. I'm sure he'll tell you that and a few other things like that. But we didn't have any trouble with him today. He's right on schedule."
Urlacher, 34, did not talk to reporters on Monday but he was in an optimistic mood when he spoke to WFLD-TV Channel 32's "The Final Word" the previous day.
"I'm playing Sunday, that's a done deal," said Urlacher, who partially sprained the posterior cruciate ligament in Chicago's final game last season against Minnesota and was sidelined for the entire off-season training program.
"I feel good going into the season. There are going to be some restrictions (in practice) on what I can do because they don't want to overwork me too early. It's a long season ... but there won't be restrictions in the game on Sunday."
Urlacher's team mates were delighted to see him back in action.
"He looked good," fellow linebacker Nick Roach said. "He's back in the flow."
Center Roberto Garza added: "When you get one of your starters back, it will definitely boost the team. We know the type of player he is and getting him back on the field is a priority for us."
The ninth overall pick by the Bears in the 2000 draft, Urlacher has spent his entire NFL career in Chicago while establishing himself as one of the sport's top defensive players.

Statement attributable to the Spokesman for the Secretary-General on the Balkan floods
New York, 20 May 2014
The Secretary-General is concerned by the devastating impact of the floods in the Balkans, which are the worst for a hundred years. More than 70,000 people have been evacuated and more than fifty have lost their lives in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia and Croatia. People urgently need drinking water, food, tents, and medical supplies. Thousands of homes are without water and electrical power or are only reachable by boat.
The Secretary-General notes that the United Nations and humanitarian partners are working closely with the national authorities, supporting coordination and assessment efforts and providing aid and equipment including water purification units, hygiene kits and other emergency supplies.
The Secretary-General thanks UN Member States for their prompt response, including relief teams and civil-military support. The United Nations stands ready to mobilize further humanitarian support if requested.

Curriculum Guide Printable Version
Inspiration and ExplorationOnce a week, our youngest learners are escorted through an ornately decorated archway into our Story Cottage by a costumed librarian whose outfit matches the day's reading. It's a much-anticipated literary and visual adventure for the children, and it's just one way in which joy and inspiration guide our interactions with young learners.
Children are natural explorers, and our Lower School supports their inquiry by establishing a safe environment for questions and mistakes. By encouraging and supporting children's voices, confidence and curiosity grow, along with wisdom and an appetite for learning.
Caring for Each ChildWhether the child is three-years-old or a rising middle-schooler, we make it our business to challenge students to greater and greater achievement while responding to each child individually. Both the full-time teachers and associates in each grade level strive to create a positive and safe environment for the students.
Fun and Challenging WorkOur youngest students learn reading and writing-readiness skills, math, music, art, and physical education. By kindergarten, the curriculum is enriched with classes in French, Spanish, Chinese and keyboarding. The Grade 4 and 5 curriculum expands to include Latin and Greek studies, and a band requirement. All grades participate in our Character Education Program.
Aftercare and Enrichment ProgramsA fee-based Aftercare and Enrichment (ACE) program is available for all students enrolled in Grades PK3 through 5. Students registered in ACE participate in planned activities that include arts and crafts, board games, puzzles, computers, movies, outdoor play, snack time, reading and supervised homework and study time. ACE operates from dismissal to 5:45 p.m. on full class days.
Various after-school enrichment classes are also offered each quarter where students have the opportunity to explore and develop a variety of new interests. Some of the enrichment classes offered include chess, drama, Art Club, Lego Robotics, and an array of intramural sports.
Our rich, hands-on curriculum and our compassionate faculty succeed every day in exciting children's interests and desire to learn. When students leave our Lower School, they move into Middle School with the confidence to ask questions and the skills to find the answers.

Dunedin Plunket car seat co-ordinator Tonia Scoullar said
that the law change was ''doing very, very well''.
''People are really catching on to it.''
The new laws have been in place since November 1, and require
all children under the age of 7 to sit in a booster seat
while travelling in a vehicle.
If the child is 7, a booster seat is recommended, but if one
is not available, the child must be restrained by a seatbelt.
The new laws also recommend that children under the height of
148cm remain in a booster seat, regardless of their age.
Previously, children up to the age of 5 had been required to
sit in a booster seat.
Mrs Scoullar said booster seats allowed the seatbelt to sit
correctly around the neck and shoulders, without the child
pulling at it or slipping their arm out.
Much like adult seatbelt laws, parents caught without having
their child under the age of 7 secured in a booster seat
could receive a fine of up to $150.
Mrs Scoullar said the law change did seem to take a while,
however, was very happy with the decision.
''I would have liked to have seen it pushed further than 7,
but it is definitely a good start.''
Green Island resident Valeska Moore said she ''definitely''
agreed with the law change and sits her daughter Cassidy (7)
in a booster seat when travelling by car.
Although Cassidy is ''quite tall'', she said she would
continue to keep her in the booster seat for safety, even
though she was 7.
All booster seats sold in New Zealand are approved, and can
be bought from the not-for-profit Plunket organisation or
various baby stores.
Mrs Scoullar said booster seats sold from Plunket ranged
between $90 and $150 and they had ''sold quite a few'' since
the new law came into action.
In conjunction with ACC and Plunket, community services
card-holders can buy booster seats for $50 if their child is
legally required to use one.

LG G3 - I don't know if I should be happy, or depressed, that my list of personally-owned phones has reached 60 devices...
Nokia E75 - A weird, candybar Nokia running Symbian that also had a horizontal-sliding physical QWERTY keyboard underneath. Tried to like it a lot, but, ended up hating it.
Nokia 6822 - Forgot about this. One of my favorite ever Nokia phones. That keyboard made typing messages so easy.
Palm Pre - The Pre and its operating system, webOS are the ultimate example of unfulfilled potential. Hardware left a lot to be desired, but it was a great start from Palm that never amounted to much.
Motorola RAZR V3 - One of the most iconic phones of all time. It was so vastly different to anything on the market and caught everyone's attention.
Palm Treo 750v - A classic Windows Mobile phone with a great physical keyboard.
Ericsson R380 - A retro smartphone from 2000. Underneath the keyboard is a long, monochromatic touchscreen. Pretty awesome for its time.
HTC One (M8) - Following the original HTC One was never going to be an easy task. But HTC easily accomplished it with the M8. It's easily the classiest Android phone on the market.
Sony Xperia Z2 - Sony's finally made a quality Android phone. It has an amazing camera, great battery life, and the display has none of the coloration problems of previous models.
Apple iPhone 5s - My daily driver.
Apple iPhone 5c - In the short time I owned it, I loved using the iPhone 5c. But, I needed cash for the iPad Air and so I sold it. I couldn't part with the 5s.
The latest. Loved using it so far. Great stock Android experience. Very reliable, and stupidly good value for money.
HTC One - HTC's best ever phone, and bar the iPhone, has the best build quality on the market.
BlackBerry Z10 - I was in love with this phone for the first month. But, the poor camera, glitchy software and low number of quality apps meant I soon got bored of it.
Apple iPhone 5 - Elegant, beautiful, powerful and precisely engineered. There's little I don't like about it.
Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III - I only had this a couple of months before getting bored. I didn't like TouchWiz or the plastic body
Apple iPhone - I bought this just over a year ago. It's an iconic device that changed the whole smartphone landscape, and for that reason alone will not be sold.
HTC One X: Latest device.. great piece of hardware.
Forgot to add this.. great phone. Shame there were no useful apps available.
Motorola RAZR XT910 - Not had enough time with it to gather my thoughts fully.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus - My favorite Android phone of all time. If it wasn't for the fact that I run an iPhone blog, and have everything in Apple's ecosystem, I would have kept this. Amazing smartphone.
White iPhone 4S - Natural upgrade to my iPhone 4. Blended seamlessly back in to my life...
BlackBerry Bold 9780 - Another great device from RIM, sold it, didn't offer enough over the 9700. Free upgrade, lost nothing.
White iPhone 4 - The "Unicorn" phone, launched almost 10 months after the black one. Looked much better than its black counterpart.
Nexus One - Stunning Android device. Couldn't get on with the onscreen virtual keyboard. Had no ounce of desire to root, or customize. Sold it after a few months.

Waco Hearings
NPR's Brian Naylor reports that House Government Reform Committee Chairman Dan Burton, a Republican from Indiana, will hold new hearings into what happened at the Branch Davidian Compound outside Waco, Texas, in April of 1993. Congressman Burton says he'll subpoena at least 20 witnesses, including a U.S. Attorney, now that the FBI has admitted that federal agents used incendiary tear gas cannisters before the compound erupted in flames.

text: Hey Everyone, I have been reading Sci-Fi for years, and I remember reading a couple of books back in 1998-99 that I loved. The problem is, I can't remember either the titles or the author The books were futuristic, where humans had colonised the galaxy. The Japanese Imperials ruled, with the Hegemony comprised of all other races. It started as a basic civil war type story with a revolution against the imperials, while a war agains a nanobot capable alien species was also happening. They used mechs and huge tanks for land battles, as well as "crunchies" (infantry). The Aliens had mech style fighters reffered to as "Snakes" I think, I seem to remember them being descriped as looking like cobras. I have been trying to locate, or at least find out about, these books for a while and have been unsuccessful. Please, if anyone knows, let me know? Thanks Everyone!!!!

About Me
Last year of Master's Degree at KU!!
Actually, just graduated, I live in Salamanca now.
Heya! =D
Me seniores
I'm a Libertarian, Vegetarian and studying to be a librarian. Haha! no jk, I'm not really studying to be a librarian (although I am a devout Libertarian and Vegetarian). I've recently been accepted to The University of Kansas in order to attain a Master's Degree in Health Education & Psychology of Physical Activity. So I'll be living in Lawrence Kansas for the next couple of years, so come on over!! =)
I'm keen on my ability to be a free thinker and come up with my own unique concepts of what this mystery called "life" truly entails...
I'm currently interested in lucid dreaming and transcendental meditation. I want to go there, and beyond, I want to know...
The intellectual pursuit is one of the most important feats of this life, and is very important to me. I like to think of myself as a sponge, thirsty for knowledge on this side of the lower concetration gradient of a cosmic semi-permeable membrane (yea, I'm a biology nerd).
I'm very much into the arts of and I like poetry, for example I wrote this just a bit ago...
Time doesn't exist,
Clocks exist,
We don't age,
Our dna decays
But the Journey,
The Journey is very real,
I wrote that during the first few hours I arrived home after a 6 month journey backpacking alone through Spain and a bit of Eastern Europe. That journey has truly opened my eyes and changed me forever. CouchSurfing during my travels provided me the most memorable and special events during my trip. I discovered how special this community is and I will never forget it.
I consider myself to be a kind person, articulate, respectful, multi-cultural, educated, intelligent, conscious and well rounded (or at least I strive to be these things!)
I love to philosophize and ponder our existence and place in the Universe, it's basically what I do all day.
I'm a dreamer, endlessly in this existence.
I believe in the Big Bang Singularity, which proposes that we all come form one single point in time. Therefore, I believe in Oneness, and I think it's absolutely beautiful.
Our Universe is such a truly majestic place, infinitely beautiful.
I'm very open minded and love to meet people, and talk about this or that, or basically anything. So feel free to start a conversation.
The meaning of life,
Is to live it,
So live it up,
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I open my home and offer whatever I can to surfers. After surfing around Europe, remembering all the love I received from this special community, I feel obligated to give some love back.
Have hosted quite a bit: individuals, couples, families, musicians, bands... would like to host more and give back to this awesome community though!
And have surfed all around the world, mostly in Asia (3 cities) and Europe (9 cities).
I really got involved in CS while studying abroad in Spain. I found it a bit difficult to really integrate with the Spaniards so I started attending CS meetings and such. It was an awesome decision. The friends I made and different people I met opened my eyes to how great this community is.
As I backpacked through Spain and Europe after my semester ended, I really got into the CS mentality and had an absolutely great experience.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
-Two Summers ago I studied abroad in South Korea, that was absolutely amazing. It was my introduction to the world, basically. Before that I had basically lived my entire life in a small town in Kansas.
-Last Summer I lived and interned in Lawrence, Kansas at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. I worked with mainly elderly patients in Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation. The stories and time I spent with those patients truly opened my eyes to the need to enjoy life before my time is up.
Teach, Learn, Share
"Everyone's a student and everyone's a teacher"
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can offer you a true Lawrencian perspective on this beautiful city, a direct connection with the sprawling music and art scene here, history, as well as a place literally 5 minutes walking distance from the heart of downtown Lawrence for as many people and pretty much as many days as you'd like. We have a slightly anarchist perspective on communal living and reducing our carbon footprint. I live with my three best friends and we're friendly, welcoming and try to be worthy stewards of CS. A word of warning though, we are all college students and occasionally like to party so you might be kept up late a night or two and we live in not the most most luxurious home (although it has it's fair share of character).
Anyways as you can probably see from my references, I'm a pretty decent host and will gladly accommodate you as much as possible!
Countries I've Visited
Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, Russian Federation, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, United Kingdom
Countries I've Lived In

All three top ministers in the Israeli cabinet below the Prime Minister — defence, finance and foreign affairs — are about to change. What does this mean for Israeli policy in the coming years?
On his visit to Israel, US President Barack Obama will speak to thousands of Israeli and Arab students rather than giving a speech to the Knesset, in order to reach out to the younger generation.
Shas, Israel's religious Sephardi party, has announced its official list for the upcoming Knesset elections.
Interior Minister Eli Yishai was awarded top spot by the party's Council of Torah Sages.
Aryeh Deri came second and Ariel Attias won third place.
In an interview with Ynet on Wednesday, Mr Deri denied that he was running for the top position.
The Israeli Labour Party released its list of members running for the 19th Knesset on Friday morning following its party primary.
Labour leader Shelly Yacimovich expressed her delight at the outcome of the votes of 35,000 party members across Israel.
The announcement of an early election in the past week by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu brings to an end the 18th Knesset, the longest serving parliament in the past two decades.
A report in Ma'ariv has revealed some of the more stomach-turning goings-on during the four-year session.
The Knesset voted unanimously on Monday night to dissolve itself and to hold Israel's general election on January 22.
Israelis should stop sensationalising the problems facing Jews in the UK, a British Jewish leader urged in the Knesset on Tuesday.
Mick Davis, head of the Jewish Leadership Council and chairman of the UJIA, said: "The hyperbole and headlines which dominate the discourse in Israel about the UK often harm our community and bilateral relationship."
Israeli is to go the polls for a national election in September, more than a year before a vote was due to take place.
Following speculation earlier this week that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was due to announce an earlier date, the election has now been scheduled for September 4.
Tzipi Livni is to step down from the political frontline, she announced today.
The former Kadima leader handed in her resignation from the Knesset to Speaker Reuven Rivlin, following speculation in the Israeli media.
It is thought that Ms Livni will maintain a central role in Israeli politics, but do so from outside Israel's parliament.
Until now, Israel's best-known contribution to the catwalk has been supermodel Bar Refaeli, but that may be about to change.
The Knesset passed a law this week that will prevent Israeli advertisers from using underweight models, including those who appear underweight, and force publications to acknowledge when photographs are airbrushed to make models appear slimmer.

Too Gay, Too Black
I believe Li'l Kim's is being punished for her rising popularity in the gay community. Her sentencing is yet another marching order. We must not separate her fate from the fate of disco in the late 70s, which was despised by middle America for being too gay and too black.

Chaudhary, in his complaint against Jindal and several Directors of JSPL, said that defamatory statements were made in an FIR lodged against him in the alleged Rs 100 crore extortion bid case at a press conference held here.
Metropolitan Magistrate (MM) Jay Thareja heard the brief arguments advanced by Chaudhary's counsel Vijay Aggarwal and fixed the matter for January 3 for passing order on the issue of taking cognisance of the complaint.
"Fresh written complaint filed under section 200 CrPC alleging commission of offence under section 499 (defamation) of IPC. Arguments on the point of taking cognisance have been heard. Put up for orders on taking cognisance and if required, further proceeding on January 3, 2013," the magistrate said.
During the arguments, Aggarwal said there were two causes of action for filing the complaint against the Congress MP and the directors of JSPL.
Chaudhary and Zee Business Editor Samir Ahluwalia were arrested on November 27 on a complaint by Jindal's firm that they had demanded Rs 100 crore as an advertising deal for not airing negative news against the firm in connection with the coal block allocation scandal.
Both Chaudhary and Ahluwalia were later on granted bail on December 17 by the court.
They have been booked under section 384 (extortion), 420 (cheating), 120 B (criminal conspiracy) and 511 (punishment for attempting to commit offences punishable with imprisonment for life or other imprisonment) of the IPC.
During the hearing, Aggarwal said the complaint was filed by an accused Rajeev Bhadauria who is the Director (HR) of JSPL and all other accused persons were well aware that in it false statements have been made.
The complaint further said that on October 25, 2012, when Naveen Jindal along with other accused held a press conference and made "false statements" that Broadcast Editors Association (BEA) had removed Chaudhary as a Treasurer "after giving him opportunity and after considering his statement, but Sudhir Chaudhary never appeared before BEA and BEA passed the order without hearing him".
Aggarwal said his client has challenged his removal from BEA in the Delhi High Court which has issued notice to the association.
"The statements made by the accused persons are totally malicious, false, incorrect and defamatory allegations/remarks against the complainant," it said.
Chaudhary in his complaint has also alleged that JSPL has circulated among its shareholders a letter containing very "serious and utterly false allegations" against him because of which he is facing humiliation, ill treatment and his goodwill and reputation has been lowered down in his social circle.

The Puck Stops Here
Kane Has It Easy
by PuckStopsHere on 03/21/10 at 01:38 PM ET

One valuable sabermetric number that is often ignored is zone starts. For each player, the zone where faceoffs occur (offensive, neutral or defensive) with that player on the ice is recorded. Some players are used for many more defensive faceoffs than offensive ones. These players tend to be lower scoring and have worse +/- and Corsi ratings than players who are on for significantly more offensive faceoffs than defensive ones, but those differences in their numbers do not show that the defensive player is a weaker player. They have a tougher job and may more more important to their team`s success.
Last year, Evgeni Malkin was a player who had one of the easiest jobs last year in terms of zone starts. He was the top scorer in the NHL and one reason for his offensive success was that he was put on the ice for offensive situations and taken off in defensive ones. On a team with other offensive stars (most notably Sidney Crosby), it is a poor way for the Penguins to allocate their shifts. Thus it was a good prediction that Evgeni Malkin`s offensive totals would decline this year. Malkin has 70 points in 63 games. If he scored at last year`s pace he would have 87 points by now.
This year, the player who has had the easiest role of offensive zone faceoffs without getting many defensive zone faceoffs is Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks. Kane has had 345 offensive zone starts and 166 defensive zone starts. This gives him 179 more offensive zone starts than defensive zone ones. This is a bigger differential than anyone had last year, though it should be noted that Kane was the second most prominent offensive zone starter last year, so this advantage is not new to Patrick Kane.
Patrick Kane is the eighth highest scorer in the NHL right now. He has 80 points. These offensive totals are inflated by the way he is used. Like Malkin, Kane would still be a good scorer if he was given a harder role on his team, but his numbers are inflated. Patrick Kane is not as good a player as his offensive numbers alone show. It is a good bet that in the future Patrick Kane will play a tougher role on his team and as a result his offensive totals will not stay as high.

Is Sophisticated Loudspeaker Crossover Design Possible Without Sophisticated Measurements?
Given the accurately measured (complex) electric drive signal to acoustic pressure output transfer functions of the drivers to be used, the design of a crossover network, to achieve any realizable response, is a routine problem in network synthesis. However, this direct approach is often precluded by the difficulties associated with the accurate measurement of acoustic phase. Several ways to avoid the need for this measurement are examined and a new design algorithm is proposed and evaluated.

I was at that precise crossroad a few months ago. I had such positive and fun experiences with my two 3" 1911s over four years that I wanted to get a barebones version like the RCP. After a long period reading about the model, and lots of window shopping online (scarce as they seemed to be) they showed up late last year in Bud's online inventory. Then, while I was breaking-open my piggy bank and looking for lost treasure under sofa cushions to shore-up the funds, I stopped by the Paris store one day and found one in the display case. They put it back for me till the next day, but when I returned, a Colt New Agent was there too. Anyhow, I looked at them both for a while. I surprised myself, after all that seed-time, and left with the Colt. Sometimes you just fall in love...and it was a couple hundred$$ less.
As for the info you actually asked for, I can only say that my New Agent is great. I fired 200 rounds before cleaning it with no hint of a malfunction--with lots of rapid fire too. I found I do pretty well with the grove. I'm certain, tho, that I would have liked the RCP two too!
I can't give any technical eval of the safeties. All I know is that I have a Kimber Ultra CarryII and commander size series 70 1911 too, and they all work the same way for me.

what a GREAT family movie!! A must see. Lots of action, laughs, and it actually teaches valuble lessons, not your "average" kids movie. Definitely worth viewing. We have watched AGAIN AND AGAIN, ps I bought this online a shipped FREE site to store BECAUSE it cost $8.00 more IN STORE.
This is a great movie, fun for the whole family. Animation is amazing. I catch myself suggesting this movie for my child to watch so I can see it, hehe ;-). Walmart online price is way cheaper than the in store price and shipping was fast. Site to store always rocks.
My kids and I enjoy this movie very much. Having the bundle makes it even better b/c we can watch it on our bluray when we're at home and when we're on the go, the kids can watch the dvd one in the van. Great cartoon for family and kids.
My family and I love this movie. It is too cute however, we are huge Will Ferral (as he's the main character) fans so I can see how this movie could be slightly boring to an adult.
Great movie for the family
great movie the kids watch it 15 times so far and it got a great point that evil always loss so you better off swithc to the good side
Blu-Ray & DVD are in perfect new functional condition. Megamind is a great movie with lots of laughs for the family!
