5 "..AN EPIC MASTERPIECE.."sdx800 | 25/07/2012 | See all sdx800's reviews (1814)Number 1 Reviewer Number 1 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Games Reviewer Top 10 Gadgets Reviewer Top 10 Toys Reviewer This truly is an epic masterpiece and Christopher Nolan has completed what is the perfect batman trilogy! Rises has an amazing story that is set 8 years after the last events, everything is on a bigger and bolder scale now, the action is amazing, the character development is fantastic and there are lots of new additions to the trilogy all having major parts to play in the story, Tom Hardy is an amazing villain with Bane being an epic screen presence with his size and strength, Anne Hathaway was amazing as cat woman (although not referred to as) very slick and sexy in her role, plus great roles from Joseph Gorden-Levitt and the usual faces Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman. This is a very dark and very serious movie with allot of emotion and depth and must not be missed!! The ending as shocking in some ways but still great and leaves the story open for many possibilities, the movie score by Hans Zimmer is also an amazing addition to the movie making every scene even more epic!!
5 All out war! What a way to go!Skrtelboy | 19/08/2012 | See all Skrtelboy's reviews (38)I saw this in the cinema only a couple of days ago and have to say I was a little worried because third movies in franchises tend to be worse than the previous two. However if anything to go by this is not better than the Dark Knight but it is definitely on parr with it.So story, still a great story and Nolans team did very well to think about future developments of the Batman, such as his physical weakness now due to so much physical activity before the Batm,an retired. Introducing a lightning quick, full rolling tank of a villain called Bane was always going to be the best choice especially with the man who plays him (Tom Hardy). He proves to be one of the most memorable villains in the trilogy (just behind Heath Ledgers Joker). catwoman was always going to be a hard role to fill but Anne Hathaway pulls it off very very well, if anything she is the best catwoman portrayed in a movie, she provides Batman with both shocks and thrills and this is exatly the kind of catwoman needed in this movie, but also with her stories of why she came to be and as to why she does the deeds she does.Each character has enough depth to back them up although I would have liked to have seen Robin but that would have proved too much for one film, however I could see Joeseph Gordon Levitt portraying Robin in a possibly spin off film? Please Nolan.Both Oldman, Freeman and caine provide the best supporting roles obviously because they are their characters! Introducing the character Miranda Tate to the movie was very risky but it by the end of the movie you feel honoured she took part and that she does prove worthy to the story.But based on enjoyment this movie is a war! Bane vs Batman! cops vs inmates! Rich vs poor! It has so many different action Scenes that the last hour or so is all out war between society. Yes it starts off a little slow in introducing Batman again but think realistically and understand why it starts slow and you'll get your spirit pumping. Many scenes will give you goosebumps and I will not spoil any of them! But the action is top quality, the story is top quality, the cast is top quality, and finally the franchise is down right legend! And the end is an amazing tribute to the legend that is Batman!The ending scenes are AMAZING! How the story fits the ending scenes is very well thought out by Nolans team. But how everybody moves on leaves both answers but still offering so much more based on potential sequels (Nolan and Bale have stated they would be glad to make a 4th film, so who knows?), possible catwoman spin off film? And the best question is shown at the end end scene but I don't wish to spoil this as it's worth the look :) Thankfully they did not spoil this potential question with any added credit scenes as there were none so it still leaves the question rather than the answer.Overall verdict:Stunning piece of movie making, although not better than its predecessor it is definitely on parr with it, this provides more action thrills and introduces some memorable characters and performances. As well as the potential for so much more from Nolan and his team, this is a very very well made movie indeed. You will be entertained by this thrilling tribute of an end to one of the best legends ever made!Batman Begins: 8/10The Dark Knight: 10/10The Dark Knight Rises: 9/10
5 Brillent movieconwiddle | 23/10/2012 | See all conwiddle's reviews (1)This film is one of a epic masterpiece. Personally for me i would give it a 11 out of a ten because every moment just kept me watching. This is totally the best film out of the trilogy and the Best batman of all time. There are amazingly, absolute breath taking performances by Christen bale and Tom hardy and Anna Hathaway. The greatest Superhero ever made. Better then all batman movies, superman movies, Iron man movies and other superhero films. I thought this film was better then the Avengers. Brilliant movie mate.
4 Still the best oneDarkKnightSean | 26/07/2012 | See all DarkKnightSean's reviews (3)i really enjoyed this batman its a must see but the thing that spoiled it for me was baines voice wasnt keen on that and i really wasnt keen on the very ending but overall this was really good but its a pitty that we never seen more fights with baine alot of twists which were great but i can see why it never got an oscar award

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is scarring or thickening of the lungs without a known cause.
Idiopathic diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis; IPF; Pulmonary fibrosis; Cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis; CFA; Fibrosing alveolitis; Usual interstitial pneumonitis; UIP
Doctors do not know what causes idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or why some people get it. Idiopathic means the cause is not known. The condition may be due to the lungs responding to an unknown substance or injury. Genes may play a role in developing IPF. The disease occurs most often in people between 50 and 70 years old.
When you have IPF, your lungs become scarred and stiffened. This makes it hard for you to breathe. In some people, IPF gets worse quickly over months or a few years. In others, IPF worsens over a much longer time.
The health care provider will do a physical exam and ask about your medical history. You will be asked whether you have been exposed to asbestos or other toxins and if you have been a smoker.
The physical exam may find that you have:
Tests that help diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis include the following:
There is no known cure for IPF.
Treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms:
Making home and lifestyle changes can help manage breathing symptoms. If you or any family members smoke, now is the time to stop.
Some patients with advanced pulmonary fibrosis may need a lung transplant.
Medicines are now being tested to see if they can slow the disease.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
These organizations are good resources for information on lung disease:
Some patients may improve or stay stable for a long time with or without treatment. Most people get worse, even with treatment.
When breathing symptoms become more severe, you and your doctor should discuss treatments that prolong life , such as lung transplantation. Also discuss advance care planning .
Complications of IPF may include:

Soulan Ne'fey
Chaotic Neutral.
Appearance / Personality / Background
Soulan is just under average size for a human, which makes him roughly the same physical build as a half elf. Standing short of five and a half feet tall (about 5'5") and slender, yet toned to perfection, granting him an unimposing size without lacking in physical prowess. His face is covered in marking he had since birth, looking almost like scars cutting down the sides of his face. He hides these marks under a low hanging hood and behind his apparently meek demeanour.
His true personality and the personna he hides behind in public are completely different. On the outside he puts on a facade of weakness and being timid. Inside he is a warrior caged by the events of his past, hoping that this self imposed exile, or sojourn if you will, might either redeem himself or atleast give him a reason to go on...a purpose in a seemingly purposeless existance. Above all else he is calm, collective, and not quick to make brash decisions. He is quiet, but that doesn't mean that he will not speak his mind if necessary. He does as he pleases without much thought of what others may think, leading majority of those who meet him think he just don't take other people into consideration, and maybe he doesn't. After all, his expectations of the capacity of gaining any understanding from these 'other people' was limited and unlikely at best. he relies on himself, but this does not make him a loner, it just makes him a little socially impared in most cases, which often leaves him alone even when he is surrounded by others.
When he was born, Soulan was immediately recognized for his appearance. Under both eyes were streaks which appear almost like tattoos, which his parents recognized immediately. He was born with the mark of the psion, an inherited imbalance in his blood which connected him to the psionic powers of an age long since forgotten. In this age, psionics were non-existant, but remnants of that ancient force lurks in the blood of its ancient practitioners. Both his mother and his father knew that should a certain secret cult should discover their child had been born with this mark he would be taken and his father sacrificed, since the imbalance was inherantly passed on from father to son. So they ran...
When Soulan was entering his twelfth winter, his father had built them a shelter in a cavern off set inside of a large hill, most likely the previous dwelling of some sort of dire badger, or possibly someother magical beast. They survived the winter with little hardships thanks to his father's mastery of wilderness survival techniques, being a ranger of the norther tundras in an earlier life. His mother was a simple woman, with skills of her own. She cleaned and cooked everything and anything his father managed to bring back from his excurssions into the wilds, with the skills of a magician. His mother would often entertain his ideas that she was some sort of magically endowed princess and that his father rescued her from the clutches of an evil emperor in the far east. She was able to see the future and she helped the emperor to expand his kingdom for 10 long years before Soulan's father came and emancipated her from her prison. The story always entranced him as a young child, but as he became older and wiser of the emotions and glances passing between his parents during the telling of these stories, he became aware that atleast a great deal of what she was saying may have been true. Such powerful love and devotion could not be hidden under meager facades for long. Soulan was a happy child, and knew nothing of true hardship, living based on his father's skills and his mother's love. Soon he would learn to forage and hunt like his father, so that one day he could provide the same skills for his own family one day, though in his youth he had every intention to use such skills to repay the efforts of his mother and father by taking care of them the same as they did him, for as long as he could.
All he ever learned was basic sword fighting techniques, which his father insisted on since he was strong enough to properly wield one. That time of simple exhange of love and respect which Soulan dreamed of was never meant to be...
One evening his father returned from his hunt early, which excited Soulan, and immediately worried his mother. He staggered in out of breath, limping, holding one side...and bleeding...At first Soulan had thought he was mauled by some sort fo tundra yeti like the ones his father told him of when he patrolled the northern exposure beyond the mountains. But this thought gave way to a more immanent threat as his father explained to his mother that men had found them. Some sort of cult, Thae'loc'de'sion, meaning the Hand of Psion, he later discovered. This was the only detail, aside from the revelation of his curse, that remained with him after that day. Everything else happened so fast...The explosions...the wistle of blades flying through the air...the roar of his father...the skreeching clash of steel against steel...His father being overwhelmed by cloaked figures...the blood...And then the light...his mother shouting phrases in a language he had never before heard, and immediately forgot as if every syllable was burned from his mind immediately after she spoke them...The cloaked figure fell beneath streakis of lightning from her finger tips, orbs of flame her hands, and bolts of white energy...But when one fell, two replaced it. She altered her offensive strategies to offer them a better chance to escape, but not before Soulan spotted a single figure walking through the center of their cavern, a blade appeared in his hand as if out of no where and he was going to reach her before she could gather herself. Soulan knew what was coming...but he couldn't let it. He stepped forward to intercept the assassin, without a weapon...or atleast so he believed. He managed to cross over the assassin's path and struck his blade with such force that it shattered into a thousand pieces. He had never seen a blade that thoroughly destroyed, and knew immediately that it was not a completely physical thing. Just as he knew that the blade which took form in his own hands, an impossibly large blade for a boy his size to wield, but still it remained there, as if demanding that he believed in its existance. Then flickered from view and was gone a moment later. The man was just as surprised as he was, but more so when he took note of the boy's birth marks...Then shock became amazement, and amazement gave way to rage as another blade appeared in his hand, but it was too late. Soulan's mother stepped in between them and released a massive bolt of lightning into the man's chest sending him flying out of the cave. Then she grabbed ahold of Soulan's shoulder and before he knew it he felt as if his insides were being sapped from his body as his surroundings seemed to rush past him. He closed his eyes hoping it would settle his stomach, but when he opened them he couldnt help but take note of the fact that those surroundings had changed. They were now standing on the lip overlooking a straight drop to the valley several thousand feet below them. Infront of them was a temple Soulan had not been familiar with. The monks immediately came out to his mother's aid but she collapsed soon after their arrival. Only able to tell the first monk who reached them to look after her son, before she died. It seems that several of the blades which he heard flying through the air, found her, leaving many puncture wounds, though no blades remained in her body as proof.
A few years later Soulan left the monestary with their blessings, and the provisions he would need to survive in the wild. He became a wanderer hoping that in his travels he some how found some purpose, some meaning to his otherwise miserable existance. But deep inside he hoped to hone his skills and one day face the man who murdered his parents...and kill him...No other opponent would matter as much to him as that one encounter...it was his only reason for living. But in the mean time experience was a necessity, he had to learn how to kill...he had to master his power. The one his parents hid him from, the one that the monks tried to teach him to leave in his past. He would have made a decent monk...but that was not his path. He had neither the time nor the inner peace of a monk. His life was chaos...his mind saturated in vengence. The blade was a necessity...

I'll complete eventually.
Name: Xalein
Race/Class: Half-Elf/Sorcerer(Sylvain wild bloodline)
Stat Block: CG, Str 10, Dex 15, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 7, Cha 18 (+2 racial bonus)
Description: Green eyes, brown hair in braid behind the back.
Background: Xalein comes from a human noble family. He is the son of the lord and his favorite mistress, an elf, and he is the heir, or would be if he was actually interested in politics. He is the heir mainly because he doesn't have any other siblings, as his father's wife could not bear children.
Ever since his young age, he would sneak outside to explore the forest, watching wild animals. He also stumbled few times on magical beasts. The first time, he was eight. A bear attacked him, but was fend off by a wolfdruid with his pack of wolves. But these wolves weren't normal. The pack was casted Awaken by the druid himself. As they lived in the forest for few days, Xalein would come often and play a lot with the puppies. Few year after, he stumbled of a pair of unicorns. He watched in fascination as they grazed. Just as he took back his breath, because he had forgotten to breathe, he scared the pair and they ran off.
It was about this time that strange phenomenon started to appear. Heat. Cold. Electricity charged air. Moving objects. Apparitions. It was after a while he discovered it was his own powers that was running wild. He that, he started to learn his own powers by himself in the forest, and learning Sylvan from his father's vast library. When he almost mastered the last cantrip, he stumbled on a lost and abandonned bear cub. It was so young he just couldn't abandon it. It would surely die in the few days. He decided to raise it. At first, he asked his father for help but he refused. Even if his father refused, he still raised it at the edge of the forest. After it finished growing up, Xalein decided to make to travel with it, so he make it his animal companion.
(the story lacks just a bit of the end but I can't make write a good story now)

: Sidryn is a young woman, that much is obvious, even if she will not admit to her true age. Rumors have her age varying from sixteen to twenty-five, but who puts complete faith in rumors? She is, at times, a firebrand of boisterous emotions, while at others she is the embers of brooding. Her brown eyes have hints of gold in them when the light strikes them, but nothing out of the ordinary or extraordinary. Her curled red-hair is a giveaway, along with the fact that she likes to wear reds and oranges to match.
: Sidryn was born Sidryn Estrael Windsong. Her mother was Raven Hallowood, a quiet and lovely daughter of farmers. Her father was the adventurous Lyrus Windsong, an elven 'archaeologist'. Raven, though a dutiful daughter, sought adventure, and when she was of a mature age, left her family's village for the big city. She was at a loss, and easy prey - thankfully the kindly Lyrus Windsong decided to be an escort and guide, rather than predator to such a lovely young woman. Though Raven had no obvious talents, her head for knowledge was nearly as great as Lyrus' and the two adventured together, and ended up, after retiring, starting a family.
Sidryn was their first child, named after Lyrus' Mother, and Raven's Grandmother, the red-headed child was born healthy, strong, and quite vocal. As Sidryn grew older, and Lyrus and Raven had three more children, the eldest child showed quite the protective streak over her younger siblings. She was helpful and kind, and far more adventurous and daring than even her mother and father had been - without the knack for knowledge that her parents displayed. Thus, Lyrus decided to teach her a few ... simpler skills, and enlisted an old friend of his from his adventuring days to train Sidryn in the ways of stealth and observation.
Kalen Maloch, a bear of a grizzled old dwarf, and still sworn to bachelorhood taught Sidryn what he knew of being a ranger - well, when he swung by for a visit. It wasn't much, but it was certainly the beginnings - enough so that Sidryn was confident enough, and her parents as well, that she traveled to town on errands on her own. After all, two retired archaeologists ... well, they had a modest manor almost half a day's journey from town.
This was both a blessing and a curse. A blessing for the idealized life that could be led, and a curse when the kobolds were angered into frenzy like a nest of hornets.
Tensions had been ... growing for a while, though Sidryn was unaware of the politics. It was only a matter of time until some idiot farmer did something to anger the kobolds, and the magistrates, of course, could not see trouble beyond the walls of their own cities. Something happened, a kidnapping, a counter-kidnapping, a slaughter on both sides ... and the dam broke.
Kobolds came flooding into the area. Sidryn was on her way home from town when she first saw the warning signs. When she heard the gibbering and rustling of an advancing kobold raiding party, she did the only thing she could think of ... climb the tallest tree in sight. Looking over the signs of travel on the road the kobolds continued on the way, never seeing Sidryn. So scared, the young woman was, she stayed in the tree for the rest of the day, into the evening, and thru the next day.
Satisfied that the kobolds had moved on, Sidryn hurried home, knowing her parents and siblings would be worried.
What she found was the burned ruins of her home - her family slaughtered, Lyrus and Raven fallen before the charred door of a closet where the three youngest were hiding. It was a masacre.
Sobbing and broken, Sidryn spent the night rolled up in a half-charred blanket on the floor of her ruined parents' bedroom. The next morning came, and Sidryn hollowly buried the remains of her family. Then, gathering what valuables she could find, that might be able to be sold, she fled.
Sidryn bought supplies in town, then traveled to a harbor on the coast. She didn't think of leaving a note for Kalen ... though now she regrets not doing so. She tried to find him several times, but the most she found was a whisper of a rumor about a mad dwarven ranger on a rampage against kobolds. Taking passage on a ship, and trying her hand, though poorly, set sail for somewhere else. ANYWHERE else.

Fracko Rohm
Str-10, Dex-14, Con-13, Int-16, Wis-12, Cha-12
Craft(Alchemy), Heal, Intimidate, Perception, Survival
Extra Hex
Healing, Misfortune
With his ragged clothes, unkempt hair and beard, and adornments made of small bones and polished stones, Fracko Rohm makes for a somewhat comical, if unpleasant-smelling, figure. He has taken to roaming the countryside, plying a modest trade as a healer and sometime-fortune teller, finding comfort in those villages that accept a stranger like him, and (all too often) fleeing from those that would burn him at the stake. Fracko is quick with a quip and happy to tell jokes or trade news over a flagon or five of ale, but he never divulges anything about his past before he took the road and began dabbling in the supernatural. When pressed, he becomes silent and sullen for a moment and then turns the conversation to lighter subjects. Of late, it seems like life on the road has begun to wear on him a bit and that perhaps it would be good to settle in a bit and have a warm stove and comfy bed to call his own. Of course, comfort costs gold, so Fracko is keeping his eyes open for remunerative opportunities of all sorts.

Where can I find a list of Traits? I'm not seeing them in the Core or APG books. Sorry, this is my first Pathfinder game, so am still learning the rules.

: Lamére Seapearl
: Merfolk Synthesist
Damage Dealer
Lamere Seapearl
Female NG Mermaid Synthesist,
Base Attack Bonus
+3 (1d4+2, x2)
+3 (1d6+3, x2)
Studded Leather
(+3 Armor, +2 Dex, +2 Natural)
Str 14, Dex 14, Con 13, Int 14, Wis 14, Cha 18
Evolutions: Claws, Pounce, Trip (bite)
Lamére's hair and eyes are the colour of her watery home, years of sunlight having faded her once seaweed green hair to a teal closer to the sea. Her skin carries a dark tan after many years of being burnt by the sunlight, her people unaccustomed to so much direct light. Her tail fin is the same shade of green as her hair, speckled with silver and darker greens and blues.
Lamére has remodeled her Eidolon recently, where once it simply looked like a long-limbed tortoise, she has since come to model it after her favourite land mammal, the Dire Wolf.
: Lamére's father was a member of the Shell Military, the Merfolk elite, and trained his daughter to follow in his foot steps as a great warrior. Meanwhile, her mother trained her in her own art, Witchery. Lamére had a special knack for summoning magic, which led her to her own experiments. Lamére was seventeen when she created her first Eidolon, but she wanted more. She didn't want to just create something powerful, she thirsted for that power herself. It became an obsession.
Three years of hard work finally paid off when Lamére finally unlocked the secret of Synergy. In the end it had seemed simple, all she had to do was risk her own life, by summoning her Eidolon exactly where she stood, weaving its energies into her physical make up. With that task accomplished, Lamére set herself to the second mystery that plagued her. If her people could breath on land, why did they not extend their military endeavors their. She left the military and her home to start her own adventure on the dry land, hoping to learn new secrets and tactics to bring home, so one day her people can expand their control.
Are you suffering?

numerically speaking , your nothing ... compared to the millions of deaths you

you walked apon the heads of victims of many a false wars and not a nary of
you spoke truth to power, and deep down , like what's happening to Iran , it's happening again, and the pathetic thing is you know it .
Israel is a stones throw from Iran and yet you turn a blind eye to her injustice
and outright slaughter of the Palestinian people. not to mention that she is
the " lone wolf of nuclear ambiguity" has nuclear weapons and is not a signatory
of the NPT .
your collective and editors , obsess about Iran , think that's the story.
well, is it really ? are you balanced ? what of Israel ? why isn't Pakistan
getting similar treatment ? it's considered more a threat because of known
multiple radical elements and factual nuclear capability.
as far as I'm concerned , in these reguards media does a grotesque injustice
it's clients whom depend on you for fair and impartial reporting.
not perpetuation of propaganda. iran is not a aggressor nation , history
bears this out.
become the beacon of freedom like early America . when writers were
the hue and cry of something that stirred passions , and built nations.
times have changed if your worried about going someplace .
why go ? telecommute, or telephone . consider another career.
because the best writers shoud get the job .the ones that stick to writing.
and are fair and balanced .
I will continue to write about any perceived threat
from " unknown outside aggressors " to myself ,family or freedoms.

Refugee & Asylum Policy
Refugee & Asylum Policy
Recent Activity
New migration patterns at the U.S. Southwest border, including a shift in border crossers from primarily Mexican men to Central American families, and from the California and Arizona borders to the Rio Grande Valley, have important implications for U.S. border policy and enforcement strategies, raising questions of what consequences might deter unauthorized Central Americans while still meeting international obligations to protect vulnerable migrants.
Recent surges in the arrival of unauthorized migrants with possible humanitarian claims have prompted the United States and the European Union to consider in-country and offshore processing for some refugee and asylum applications. As this article explores, some of the questions raised about the feasibility of such programs include their consistency with humanitarian law and their effectiveness in reducing unwanted entries.
Drawing on a case study of two Hmong refugee populations from Laos that were resettled in a major Texas city and a German village, this article explores the different approaches to immigrant integration found in the United States and Germany as well as the outcomes for the Hmong and their sense of belonging in their new communities.
Turkey's migration identity has shifted from being principally a country of emigration and transit to becoming a destination for immigrants and people fleeing conflict. In response, Turkish policymakers recently enacted a comprehensive migration and asylum law that took effect in April 2014. This article examines the new law, which is intended as a significant step toward managing both legal and irregular migration to Turkey, including humanitarian migration.
From a massive typhoon in the Philippines last November to the ongoing civil war in Syria, recent global events demonstrate that natural disasters and political strife occur suddenly and often without warning. This article examines the U.S. Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program that grants humanitarian relief to nationals of certain countries embroiled in violent conflict or recovering from natural disaster.
This panel discussion offers perspectives on border policy management from leading officials in the Canadian, Mexican, and U.S. governments, and showcases the MPI book, "Managing Borders in an Increasingly Borderless World."
UN Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees T. Alexander Aleinikoff joined Kathleen Newland for a discussion on the Syrian refugee and internally displaced population, now considered one of the biggest humanitarian emergencies in a generation.
With global mobility on the rise, the international community is finally grappling with the challenge of stranded migrants, which is one of the main agenda items for the High-level Dialogue on Migration and Development in the UN General Assembly in October 2013.
The event discussion, which touched on the intersection of race and immigration, focused on the demographics of Black immigrants (both African and Caribbean) in the United States and their children, their educational success, and the implications of the recently released volume's findings for research and public policy.
MPI is pleased to host a discussion with experts from both KIND and the Women's Refugee Commission, focusing on the causes of the increase in unaccompanied minor migrants, the situation these minors face once detained or apprehended, and the challenges confronting both nongovernmental organizations trying to provide aid and the U.S. government agencies responsible for processing minors through the system.
This event with UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres features findings from UNHCR's report, Children on the Run, which examines the increasing numbers of children from Central America and Mexico who head off alone to find refuge in the United States, fleeing violence, insecurity, and abuse.
This panel discussion on unaccompanied minors focuses on a report by Kids in Need of Defense and the Center for Gender & Refugee Studies at UC Hastings College of the Law, whose primary conclusion is that children face a U.S. immigration system created for adults that is not required to consider the child's best interests.
This discussion explores how the 2014 Greek Presidency of the European Union and the United States can work to address the challenges of managing migration while meeting humanitarian obligations and nurturing economic growth.

With the European Council meeting in late June 2014 to adopt strategic guidelines on asylum and migration policy, amid strains resulting from Syrian refugee migration and other flows, this MPI Europe policy brief identifies challenges and proposes a forward course. The brief recommends increased engagement by Member States in practical cooperation as a way to strengthen implementation and consolidation of existing EU laws and achieve more consistent asylum decision-making.
In the absence of a policy plan to address the surge in unaccompanied child arrivals at the U.S.-Mexico border, simplistic explanations and draconian "solutions" are already surfacing. In reality, the problem is enormously complex and there is no single policy approach that is going to bend the curve on unaccompanied child arrivals. This commentary explores possible ways forward.
This MPI Europe policy brief, published with the European Council poised to articulate a new set of long-term objectives and priorities for action on migration and asylum policy, details the immigration and other challenges that policymakers confront and sets out the reasons for increasingly sclerotic policy development.
A discussion with findings from an ORSAM report that evaluates the effect of the Syrian refugee crisis on Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq, as well as on the more than 3 million Syrians who have fled their homeland to become refugees in neighboring countries. The discussion focused on the social and economic impact of the refugees in Turkey, with remarks by the Director General of Turkey's state-run relief agency, AFAD.
This MPI event, in partnership with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), discusses the critical issue of climate-related displacement in the Asia-Pacific region, focusing on the vulnerability of environmental migrants and how the international legal framework can better ensure their protection.
Many of Sweden's immigrants are refugees who lack the skills and education to gain employment soon after they arrive. Over time, however, newcomers to Sweden have improved their employment rates, displayed income growth similar to natives, and moved from low- to middle-skilled positions. This report assesses how new immigrants—refugees, labor migrants, and others—fare in Sweden's labor market.
This issue brief addresses the rights of migrants whose movement is induced by environmental degradation or climate change, particularly in the highly vulnerable Asia-Pacific region. The brief evaluates the current international legal framework, identifies gaps in the framework and its implementation, and reviews options available to the international community.
This event with UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres features findings from UNHCR's report, Children on the Run, which examines the increasing numbers of children from Central America and Mexico who head off alone to find refuge in the United States, fleeing violence, insecurity, and abuse. The discussion provides analysis on the reasons behind the growing migration of this vulnerable population and offers recommendations. Read the report here.

Per St. Louis Game Time, the lines looked something like this:
David Perron-David Backes-T.J. Oshie
Andy McDonald-Alex Steen-Vladimir Tarasenko
Jaden Schwartz-Patrik Berglund-Chris Stewart
Matt D'Agostini-Vadimir Sobotka-Ryan Reaves
Cole Porter-Scott Nichol-Jamie Langenbrunner
Kris Russell- Alex Pietrangelo
Barrett Jackman-KevinShattenkirk
Ian Cole-Roman Polak
Jeff Woywitka-Taylor Chorney

Interesting to see Schwartz with Berglund and Stew. That could always change, of course, but good seeing Hitch is throwing him on a line with skill players. Those top three lines are DEEP. There's no elite player in the bunch, but just like last year, the Blues are just going to keep throwing waves of skill players at teams and scoring will come from all over the place.

The Schilling test is used to determine whether the body absorbs vitamin B12 normally.
Vitamin B12 absorption test
This test may be done in four different stages to find the cause of a low vitamin B12 level.
Stage I: You get two doses of vitamin B12 (cobalamin). You take a small, first dose (a radioactive form of B12) by mouth. You get a second, larger dose by a shot 1 hour later. You then collect your urine over the next 24 hours and deliver it to a lab or your doctor's office. The urine is checked to see if you are absorbing vitamin B12 normally. If Stage I is abnormal, Stage II may be done 3 to 7 days later.
Stage II: You are given radioactive B12 along with intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor is a protein produced by cells in the stomach lining. The body needs it so the intestines can absorb vitamin B12.
Stage II of the test can tell whether a low vitamin B12 level is caused by problems in the stomach, preventing it from producing intrinsic factor.
If Stage II is abnormal, a Stage III test is done.
Stage III: This test is done after you have taken antibiotics for 2 weeks. It can tell whether abnormal bacterial growth has caused the low vitamin B12 levels.
Stage IV: This test determines whether low vitamin B12 levels are caused by problems with the pancreas. With this test, you take pancreatic enzymes for 3 days. You then take a radioactive dose of vitamin B12.
The injection of vitamin B12 may sting.
The Schilling test checks vitamin B12 absorption and evaluates you for pernicious anemia . This is a decrease in red blood cells that occurs when your intestines cannot properly absorb vitamin B12.
Other conditions for which the test may be performed:
Urinating 8% to 40% of the radioactive vitamin B12 within 24 hours is normal.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Low vitamin B12 levels can cause megoblastic anemia.
If there is a problem with the stomach's ability to make intrinsic factor, Stage I of the test will be abnormal and Stage II will be normal.
Stages I and II will be abnormal in people who have problems absorbing vitamin B12 and intrinsic factor in the small intestine.
Abnormal results may be due:

For That Perfect Hair You Have Been Missing Click above to read more about Perfect Hair Plus by Phyto-Life
Recommended Products
Here are some Reviews about our products from around the web by real clients
(The user names were diffused for privacy)
there can be no better product out there! I have had several professional keratin treatments that were very nice but because of the ridiculous prices I decided to try this one. This was the second treatment I tried and it is better than any I have had before !! I had dry damaged thin, sort of straight hair where parts of it were like straw and would not lay flat- after the treatment- I have shiny hair of a teenager, stick straight, soft and amazing, it could not look any better and I could not be happier!
I have blonde curly/wavy hair. Humid days are ridiculos and spring rain is super bad!!! I have tried all the other brands but I will continue to buy this one. It does everything it claims. Makes my hair smooth, frizz free, healthy and overall a great product for bad hair.
Loved this product. It worked great and feels very similar to when I got a professional blowout. I will be reordering again. Definitely got a little fumey during the blow dry part but overall great and you can't beat the price.
I have never been able to chemically straighten my hair, because I have this weird half african american, half middle eastern hair that is super thick and curly, but not nappy. I tried chemical relaxer when I was younger and it had literally no effect whatsoever. However, after this treatment my hair feels unbelievably soft, de frizzed and is WAY straighter. I'm actually still in shock haha
"I used your Keratin hair treatment product 3 days ago. Looked awesome, but also wasn't my first time using these "wonderful straightening solutions." Today was the first day to wash my hair....it almost put me in tears....my hair has NEVER looked so AMAZING 15 minutes after a shower!! Your product is absolutely heaven sent! I just want to say thank you. I have the most resistant and rebellious hair. Your product did an amazing job!! "
"I tried the Keratin Hair Treatment this weekend -AND I AM SO HAPPY WITH MY HAIR. I have thin hair, so I wasn't expecting much, but now I have the hair I've always wanted. It's straight and soft. Thank you so much for a great product. I've never had anything work so well and make a real difference." Thanks again,Liz M Atlanta GA
I really like the texture and the scent of the express formula. The product goes on easily and distributes well throughout the hair. Thus far I have been able to straighten every hair type possible. My clients look in the mirror and have a "WOW" look on their face.
Keratin Mask Recent Review by one of our client
We, women, all know: one of the most essential secrets of our appeal lies in gorgeous hair. Unfortunately, we also know how hard it is, sometimes, to take a proper care of it in today's lifestyle. Allow me to share with you a pleasure of Inverto Mask discovery - an easy, fast, and affordable way to fabulous hair!
My hair is being constantly exposed to bleach and color treatments, which makes it especially hard to maintain healthy and beautiful. In attempts to succeed, I have been trying various conditioners and masks from leading brands for years, many of which, to tell the truth, been hitting the pocket heartlessly. Treatments helped partially and temporarily, constantly leaving one issue untreated: it remained dry and tremendously hard to comb, making every shower a painful torture for my hair. Following by friend's recommendation, I tried the Inverto Mask using it pretty intensively: every day for a first week instead of the conditioner, and 3-4 times a week during the second week. Surprisingly, the results were unexpectedly amazing: my hair miraculously "healed" from a constant dryness and transformed to a healthy and gorgeous within just a few days. For better and faster results, try this intense formula and then switch to twice a week for general maintenance and enjoy getting compliments for your stunning hair! Sincerely recommend to all women who think they deserve looking fabulous!!! :-)

Maybe you've rented a few times or borrowed a friend's stand up paddle board. Or maybe you know you'll love the sport and are ready to dive right in to new gear. Regardless, it's always a wise idea to do a little research to pin point the board that's best for you. With a properly sized board constructed for your ability, you will be more likely to enjoy the sport and to get outside to paddle more often. Our suggestions below will give you the confidence you need to select a board that's right for you.
Before getting into the logistics of board lengths and widths, stew on these thoughts…
Next, ask yourself these next few questions…
Stand up paddle boards can be broken down into three simple categories. Like snowboards and bikes, different paddle boards will perform best in specific conditions. Check it out…
Above all, your size in relation to the board is one of the most important aspects to consider. Volume is a great way to think about board size. The volume is what floats you, so it's important to have the correct amount of volume for stability. Be sure to review the manufacture's size recommendation before making a purchase.
Still confused? Chances are that you'll be best matched up with a all-round board. You can't go wrong with a board that will perform in all conditions and types of water. Whether it's the beach or the lake house, you'll be psyched with an all-round board. If you're strictly looking to perfect your paddle surfing skills, then a surf specific board will keep you happy for years to come. And if racing and long distance paddling is your thing, go for a touring paddle board. For SUP beginners, more resources can be found in our Paddle Boarding for Beginners article.
Stand up paddle boarding or SUP has exploded in popularity the past couple of years. And for good reason! It's a fun and easy way to enjoy beautiful scenery, soak in some vitamin D and experience that peaceful bliss of being on water. It offers a great full body workout and skiers and snowboarders enjoy cross training on paddle boards during the summer months. Choosing the best SUP gear for your needs and budget will depend on your level of experience and what you hope to get out of paddle boarding. Regardless of whether you're an expert or just starting out, there are a few things everyone must have.
Paddle Board First things first – the board! Stand-up paddle boards come in an array of shapes and styles, each best suited for a different style of paddling – surfing, cruising, or racing. Sizes are based on the paddler's weight and experience. The general rule is that once you're up to paddling speed you don't want the tail to drag. The flotation is a combination of the length, width and thickness of the board. More experienced and lighter paddlers can choose narrower boards. They are tricky to navigate for beginners, so we don't recommend narrow boards for beginners. Novice paddlers should choose wider, flatter boards, which offer more stability.
Paddle Next, you'll want to choose a paddle. It should be between 8″ and 12″ longer than your height when standing barefoot. If you're on the fence, remember that a slightly longer paddle is better for flat water where longer strokes are used, while a shorter paddle is better for more challenging water where shorter, high cadence strokes are necessary.
Paddles come in a few different materials which impact their weight and performance. The least expensive paddles have an aluminum shaft with a plastic blade and handle. They are most often considered a beginner's paddle because of it's relatively inexpensive cost and high durability. More experienced paddlers should steer toward higher end paddles with fiberglass shafts and carbon fiber paddles. Such paddles are much lighter weight than plastic and allow for more efficient strokes with less shoulder and arm fatigue. Distance paddlers will be far happier with a more expensive, performance paddle. Check out The House's diverse selection of paddles for every budget and experience level.
Paddle Boarding Regulations Depending on where you plan to paddle, you might need to invest in a few more pieces of gear. Stand up paddle boards are nowclassified as vessels by the US coast guard, which means that paddle boards must comply with the same rules as kayaks and canoes when outside the surf zone. So, a personal floatation device (life jacket) must be worn or attached to the boat. Since there really isn't a great place to put your PDF on a paddle board, most people prefer to wear their life jacket at all times. Many life jackets are now constructed in a way that they can be worn without limiting your movement. When paddling in the ocean beyond the surf zone, the Coast Guard also requires a sound producing device (whistle) and a light (headlamp or flashlight) if you're paddling before sunrise or after dusk. Clothing Yup, you should probably wear clothing when paddle boarding. Depending on the temperature and time of day, a bikini for the gals and board shorts for guys is perfect. Many girls will wear board shorts over their suit. For chillier days, a rash guard will provide a little extra warmth. Even in warmer climates, it can be chilly on the ocean certain times of the year, so a wet suit will make for a more comfortable (and longer!) experience on the water. Sunglasses are a must, even on overcast days. The sun's rays will be stronger on the water due to the reflection. A hat is also a good idea to shield the sun from your face. Sure, you might fall in the water or might want to take a dip mid paddle, so wear a strap with your sunglasses and leave your favorite baseball hat on shore if you're worried about it getting wet!
Accessories While not absolutely essential for paddle boarding, a few accessories will make life a little easier, especially if you plan to hit the water on the regular or travel with your board. For choppy waters or peace of mind, a leash will keep your board from floating away should you fall or or take a dip. A board bag will protect your investment during the winter months when it's stashed in your basement. It's also nice for traveling if you have a packed SUV or truck. You don't want that baby banging on the walls of a flat bed! Some people enjoy traction pads on their boards. Again, it's not essential, but they're helpful for more aggressive paddling and also serve as a sturdy place for your pooch to sit. Yup. Your dog can sit on your board while you paddle away! The House carries all of these accessories, so check them out!
Oceans, lakes and rivers have all seen a recent explosion in stand up paddle boarding (SUP). Due to it's increased popularity, the US Coast Guard classified SUPs as vessels in 2008, which means they have to adhere to the same regulations as canoes and kayaks when operated outside of surfing areas. Such regulations should always be followed not only for safety reasons and respect to others in the water, but also to avoid fines!
US CGA Inflatable Life Jacket
Personal Floatation Device Coast Guard Approved (CGA) life jackets must be worn or carried in an easily accessible position when paddle boarding outside designated surf areas. While a ring buoy attached to the cord or a floating seat cushion are acceptable, wearing a comfortable life jacket is preferred by most paddle boarders. If you're surfing waves on your paddle board, hence inside the surf zone, a life vest is not required.
Sound Producing Device The most basic and commonly used sound producing device is a police-style whistle. It's a convenient solution for SUPs to comply with the requirement to carry a sound producing device and can be worn around the neck or attached to a life jacket. A whistle will facilitate hands-free auditory signals when help is needed. The whistle can also be used to signal to other vessels when changing direction and passing another vessel.
Visual Signaling Device If you're heading out after sunset or before sunrise, a waterproof flashlight or headlamp is recommended by the coast guard. A headlamp offers hands-free signaling while a flashlight can be attached to shorts or a life jacket. Either way, the light will warn other vessels of your presence.
Other Restrictions State governments may have additional requirements so it is important to check local regulations. Even some lakes and inland waterways have their own regulations, so it's best to do a little research to avoid fines and potential harm to yourself or others in the water. Adhering to all regulations will ensure an enjoyable time in the water! Effective 1/1/13 all non motorized watercraft (including Stand Up Paddle boards) over 10 feet in length are required to be licensed by the Department Of Natural Resources.
The Future of SUP Regulations Since the paddle board itself might be classified as a PFD, there are some talks that the Coast Guard will revise their paddle boarding regulations to remove the PFD/life jacket requirement. Currently windsurfers aren't required to wear a PFD since their boards are considered to be "sea-anchors." Stand up paddle boards could essentially fall under that same category. In the meantime, don't get caught outside of the surf zone without your life jacket!

Toys for ages 1-2 encourage natural play
Play is an inherent part of the natural instincts of all children. Babies and toddlers are especially inclined to use play as a way to learn more about their environments and build essential skills like hand-eye coordination and problem solving. At Kmart, you'll find a variety of toys for ages 1-2 that can help your child reach important developmental milestones.
When you're shopping for interactive toys, you'll find that they feature bright colors, movement and sounds that engage and delight both babies and toddlers. Many of these toys make noises or play music meant to catch and keep the attention of very young children. Some models, like Big Hugs Elmo, sing and dance, as well. Others focus on number recognition by helping kids count or get them started with letter sounds and saying the alphabet. Both letter- and number-related skills involve basic pattern recognition, so even children who don't yet talk can benefit from playing with these toys.
Educational games and learning toys focus specifically on getting kids started with the essential skills they'll need later in life. Play sets, tables and interactive systems geared toward the baby and toddler set feature shapes, letters and number just like interactive toys do, but they are designed to give a more intensive learning experience. More than just playthings, these toys encourage problem solving while teaching babies and toddlers to recognize colors and patterns. Some are designed to aid children who are in the early stages of standing and walking by giving them something to hold onto as they play, thereby improving coordination and balance.
Electronic toys take the concept of traditional stuffed animals one step further by adding sound and movement. Babies and toddlers love watching and listening as these toys dance, sing, walk, talk or zoom around. And when it's time for a nap, the toys can be put in the crib or taken to bed to give kids something soft to cuddle with. Like other toys for the 1- and 2-year-old set, electronic plush toys are colorful and just as fun to look at as they are to play with.
Whether it involves singing and dancing, counting and saying the alphabet or learning to recognize shapes, play is an important part of development for all children. You can find popular Sesame Street toys and other favorites for your kids when you shop at Kmart. Make Kmart your go-to store for educational and interactive toys to give your baby or toddler the engaging play that they need.

A stitch in time
By Lenny DiFranza
Baseball history comes in all shapes and sizes – and fabrics. And the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is there to record it all.
Check out these socks that bear the Colorado Rockies logo, made at Coors Field by Rockies fan Meredith Davey, which won Craft magazine's Stitch N' Pitch design contest in 2007. They were then featured in the Rockies' official magazine. Stitch N' Pitch, a program of the National NeedleArts Association, has been hosting events at major and minor league ballparks and other venues since 2006.
Stitch N' Pitch members came to Cooperstown in 2009 for a day of programs that had visitors "in stitches." They'll be back at the Hall of Fame this year on Saturday, April 24, for a hands-on opportunity for the whole family to create their own needlework projects. For more information on this event, click here.
Items made by fans, like these socks, have long been part of the Hall of Fame's collection. In addition to celebrating baseball history and the greats of the game, the Museum also explores the relationship between baseball and the people who love it.
The socks are now in the Rockies' exhibit in Today's Game, the part of the Museum that presents artifacts from recent seasons, with a display for each major league team.
Lenny DiFranza is the assistant curator for new media at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
2 Comments
I salute the Hall of Fame for recognizing some of baseball's most loyal fans; the girls, the women, and those who turn their creative talents to the celebration of the game.
I want to thank Meredith for coming to the aid of a forlorn baseball-fan-in-limbo, and designing a Baseball Sock pattern for my beloved BROOKLYN Dodgers. I gave up sports when Walter O'Malley hijacked our Bums to LA. And, NO, they're not the same team. I went to Ebbett's Field and saw Jackie Robinson play. Now, THAT was real baseball.
Thank you, Meredith, from the bottom of this fan's broken heart.

April 1, 2010 – For Immediate Release
ELKHART, Indiana – After receiving rave reviews at its Winter NAMM introduction in January, Crown today began shipping its new line of XLS Series amplifiers. The new line – consisting of four models and offering an unprecedented level of performance and configuration flexibility, will usher in a new era of power amplification at the entry level.
The XLS series amplifiers implement a flexible PureBand™ Crossover System. A user can select crossover points from 50 Hz to 3 kHz, allowing for precise matching of specified crossover points on most bi-amplified loudspeakers. Increased control is also highlighted by the three selectable channel modes and clip limiters designed to protect loudspeakers that can be turned on and off by channel.
"Today we are extremely proud and excited that our XLS Series amplifiers are now available to our customers," said Matt Bush, Vice President of Sales for Crown. "The development of this amplifier represents the values we feel strongest about: industry leading technology, quality, reliability, and the most competitive pricing. Since the amplifier's introduction at Winter NAMM we have received an outstanding response and are confident it will exceed our customers expectations."
PeakX™ limiters allow higher output levels than conventional analog limiting while providing assured driver protection, and deploy algorithms derived from the extensive research and development of the OmniDrive HD loudspeaker processing in Crown's flagship I-Tech HD Series
In another major advance, the new XLS series amplifiers feature Integrated DriveCore™ Technology. Regardless of AC Line sag or distortion due to other equipment such as backline or lighting gear, the user will consistently have the highest level of performance as though there is a power conditioner built directly into the amplifier. It also provides fast recovery on peaks, accurate reproduction of low-level detail, and precise tracking of low-frequencies at high power levels for maximum subwoofer output.
The new XLS Series amplifiers are housed in a new premium industrial design chassis, featuring a cast front panel for durability. They also feature integrated rack handles and weigh under 11lbs, making the XLS Series the ultimate portable amplifier.
Crown is a unit of Harman International Industries, Incorporated (www.harman.com). Harman International designs, manufactures and markets a wide range of audio and infotainment products for the automotive, consumer and professional markets, and maintains a strong presence in the Americas, Europe and Asia, employing more than 11,000 people worldwide. The Harman International family of brands includes AKG®, Audioaccess®, Becker®, BSS®, Crown®, dbx®, DigiTech®, Harman Kardon®, Infinity®, JBL®, Lexicon®, Mark Levinson®, Revel®, QNX®, Soundcraft® and Studer®. Harman International's stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "NYSE: HAR."
Harman HiQnet™ is the world's first connectivity and control protocol that integrates all product categories in the signal chain for professional audio systems of all types, size, and applications. Harman HiQnet no longer requires the user to manage multiple disparate operating systems or be responsible for programming individual signal processors, speaker controllers, wireless microphone systems, and mixing consoles. HiQnet was developed by engineers from across the Harman Pro Group and is coordinated by the System Development and Integration Group (SDIG), a team of dedicated systems specialists based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
