7 cases of hedgehog-related salmonella in Wash.
SEATTLE - The state Department of Health says that of 20 hedgehog-related salmonella cases reported nationally over the past year, seven were in Washington -- and the only fatal case in the country was an elderly man in Spokane County.
The illnesses were caused by a rare but dangerous type of salmonella bacteria carried by the small pets.
Spokesman Tim Church says there were two cases in Pierce County, and lone cases in King, Clark, Thurston, Whitman and Spokane counties. The victim in Spokane was in his 90s and passed away this month.
In the Spokane case, the Spokane Regional Health District epidemiologist is in charge of the investigation into the source of the salmonella that killed the local man. The health district did confirm the hedgehog was purchased in Spokane.
Church says hedgehogs are like a lot of other little animals, such as frogs, turtles and chicks, that can carry salmonella without appearing ill. He says it's important to wash your hands after handling them and to always wash their cages and other items outside, to avoid spreading bacteria in the house.
Salmonellosis symptoms can include severe diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, fever, chills, abdominal discomfort, and occasionally vomiting; symptoms may appear one to three days after exposure. Infections can last from several days to months. The illness can be treated, though most people recover on their own, without medications.
Before this year, the Department of Health had one reported case of Salmonella related to hedgehogs in 2005.

Bucks fall in Washington
Wall's double double helps Wizards to win
WASHINGTON - John Wall had 23 points and 10 assists, and the Washington Wizards beat the Milwaukee Bucks 106-93 Wednesday night.
Wall and Wizards coach Randy Wittman appeared to exchange unpleasant words during a timeout late in the third quarter, but Wall rallied with eight fourth-quarter points to hold off the Bucks' comeback.
It was Wall's seventh double-double of the season. He also added six rebounds and four steals.
The Wizards (21-42) have won three straight home games and eight of 11 in Washington.

Oberheim Eight Voice
The immensely fat and analog Eight Voice from Oberheim is truly a Vintage Synth. It is essentially eight classic Oberheim SEM modules stacked together alongside the Polyphonic Synthesizer Programmer for memory, a simple analog mixer, and a 49-note keyboard. This gives you an eight voice polyphonic/polytonal synthesizer with 16 VCO's, 8 VCFs, 16 ADR envelope generators and more. In the late '70s a really cool 2-tier keyboard version was released with a larger 61 note keyboard added below the standard 49 note keyboard.
Because the Eight Voice derives its polyphony from having eight mono-synth modules hard-wired together, it has some pros and cons. What is cool is that this was a lot of simultaneous voices for the mid-seventies. And the ability to craft a different sound on each voice led to some diverse and complex sounds. However, it also meant you have to program each voice independently. Fortunately the Polyphonic Synthesizer Programmer stores 16 patches per voice (all of which can be different) so you can save all that hard work spent programming sounds.
The Eight Voice was the pinnacle of Oberheim's first synth system, completely based around the simple little SEM. But a need for truly polyphonic circuit designs would soon lead to Oberheim's legendary OB-series, leaving the SEM based poly-synths behind in the 1970's... It has been used by Herbie Hancock, Styx, and Rush.

HFEA to consult on ethics of 'mitochondria transfer'*
19 January 2012
The Secretary of State for Health together with the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills have jointly asked the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) to seek public views on emerging IVF techniques designed to prevent the transmission of mitochondrial disease.
Such techniques may allow women with particular genetic diseases to avoid passing it on to their child. These techniques are only permitted in research at present. Our public dialogue will explore what people think about the possible use of these techniques in treatment – the transfer from laboratory to clinic.
The HFEA, working with Sciencewise, will begin the public dialogue later this year, guided by a group of experts which will oversee the process. The dialogue will be in several phases beginning with preparation starting now.
Professor Lisa Jardine, Chair of the HFEA, said today: "We were delighted to accept the Ministers' request to carry out this important piece of work, which we are uniquely placed to conduct. Explaining complicated science to the public is an important feature of our work. We will bring both our ethics expertise and our inside knowledge of licensing research and treatment in IVF to bear on this cutting edge and controversial area of reproductive science.
"This is an issue of great importance to families affected by mitochondria disease and it is also one of enormous public interest. The decision about whether this research technique should be made available to treat patients is one for the Secretary of State and, ultimately, Parliament. We will work hard to stimulate a rich and varied public debate, to help him make an informed decision."
A full timeline of consultation events will be announced in early Spring 2012.
How to participate
To register your interest in the consultation, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with 'subscribe' in the subject line. We will send you regular updates, news and information on how you can get involved.
What are the techniques being developed to avoid mitochondrial disease?
Information on mitochondria and mitochondrial disease is available on the HFEA's website.
*'Mitochondia transfer' is a lay term to describe scientific techniques to avoid mitochondrial disease through assisted conception.
Notes to editors
- The HFEA is the independent regulator for IVF treatment and embryo research. Our role is to protect patients and the public interest, to drive improvement in the treatment and research sectors and to provide information to the public and policymakers about treatment and research.
- Sciencewise is an organisation that helps policymakers commission and use public dialogue in emerging areas of science and technology. See http://www.sciencewise-erc.org.uk for more information.
- In Spring 2011, the HFEA carried out a scientific review of the methods to avoid mitochondrial disease - http://www.hfea.gov.uk/6372.html, also requested by the Department of Health.
- The HFEA was set up in August 1991 as part of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990. The HFEA's principal tasks are to license and monitor clinics that carry out in vitro fertilisation (IVF), artificial insemination (AI) and human embryo research. The HFEA also regulates the storage of gametes (eggs and sperm) and embryos. See www.hfea.gov.uk for further details.
For further information please contact the HFEA press office on 020 7291 8226 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Few everyday items are as precious as one's phone, and losing it can be a dreadful experience. If you need to track down a cell phone, you've come to the right place. Whether you're simply trying to track the location of your lost phone or you're a secret agent who needs to gain intel on the whereabouts of a crooked diplomat, we're here to give you the information you need to get the job done.
It'll be easier if you're trying to track a smartphone, but there are ways to locate older phones as well, so don't give up hope if you're still rocking a first-gen Motorola RAZR – we've still got your back.
Tracking your phone before you lose it
If you're here just to prepare for the day that you lose your phone (which for many is inevitable), then you're ahead of the game. If you've got a smartphone, consider installing the apps listed below
For smartphones..
There are several app choices available for your phone, but also remember to set up any included phone-locating software that comes with your device. That includes Find My iPhone, Android Device Manager, and Samsung's Find My Mobile. Head to the next section for more details. If you're looking for more choice, try these out:
Prey is free to use for up to three devices, there are paid plans for more, and the service can be used for both computers and phones. After you sign up for the service, you simply sync your devices with it, sit back, and relax. The day that your phone goes missing, all you'll have to do is find a computer, log into your account, and start tracking.
Prey runs discreetly in the background and won't track your phone's location until you tell it to, so there's no need to worry about your privacy while the phone is in your possession. We recommend this for any Android or iOS device, as well as any Mac, Windows, or Linux PC.
Download now for:
Lookout combines security, tracking, and anti-virus/malware protection. There are several interesting features, such as the system recording a phone's last location right before the battery dies, a chance to backup contact data before a remote erase, and it'll even snap a photo of any would-be thief and email it to you along with location data. There's a free two-week trial, after which it'll cost $3 per month.
Download now for:
Avast Anti-Theft
This app is designed to deal with theft and has a ton of free features. You can remotely lock or wipe your smartphone, or listen remotely to find the thieves who took your device. You can also use it to activate stealth mode on your device, so that the thief doesn't know Avast is protecting your phone. Avast provides SIM card change notifications, too, and the company offers similar services for Android, Mac, and PC.
Download now for:
Cerberus anti theft
Cerberus is a feature-rich app, and one of the best anti-theft apps you can get. It's free to try, but you'll have to pay $6 for a lifetime license. The app offers numerous ways to track and control your smartphone via the website, and even via SMS. You can also sound an alarm, even if your device in silent mode, and lock it with a unique code. Additional features include the ability to record audio remotely and snap photos of anyone trying to use your phone. Location history is just a plus.
Download now for:
For non-smartphones…
We recommend using a GPS tracking service. There are many different options out there, but AccuTracking is our current favorite.
It costs as little as $6 per month (less if you subscribe for a year), and uses GPS to track the location of your phone — and lucky for you, it works with a wide variety of feature phones. As long as your phone is GPS-enabled, this service should do the trick. Most modern cellphones are, so as long as your phone isn't headed to the museum due to age, you should be fine.
When the day comes that you can't locate your phone, just log in to AccuTracking's Web interface from any internet-connected computer and — so long as your phone isn't dead — it'll immediately show you its location.

That's an amazing statement."

The Arno Olympia Urn should have a special place in your decorative scheme. Tall and regal, its lustrous silver-blue finish brings drama to a liv ing room, dining room or foyer. For an elegant statement, place a pair or a mantel or at the foot of a staircase. (28.75 inHx13.5 inD)
The silver-blue glaze of the Arno collection was inspired by the river that runs through the heart of Florence, home of the Italian craftsmanship that distinguishes our Fortunata collections. The other artistic feature of the Arno collection is the ceramic curls that belong only on these pieces. Each piece is piece is hand thrown on a potters well, hand decorated and finish ed with a glazing process that leaves a distressed patina on the terracotta bases.
Each Fortunata piece captures the tradition and charm of the ancient Tuscan workshops where the ceramics are skillfully hand thrown using a unique mixture of select clays. Every Fortunata piece is a unique comb ination of creative design and traditional skills. These pieces are imported directly from Italy. *Evidence of handcrafted work includes the slight color and size variations making the pieces truly one-of-a-k ind and highly collectable. Perhaps the most important feature of the Fortunata collection is the unique, heavily distressed, antique look created by uneven glazing.

In the last few days this board has come alive with the subject of name calling. I'll be the first to admit that I've called Obama something other then Obama because I hold him in such low esteem. I honestly believe he does not have the best interests towards the American People and this great country at heart. Has anyone seen the montage of Obama's apology tour? It turns my stomach. I don't believe anyone has to apologize for our Country.
On the topic of name calling, I can't believe the president of the United States has lowered himself into the gutter. It seems his strategy for re-election is to resort to name calling of Governor Romeny. He continues to call Romney "a Liar, that he has Romnesia, and the latest and greatest a Bullshitter". Don't know about you but I expect better from the president of our great country. Can he spell Benghazi and lying to the American People? Obama has proved that he is no more then a common Chicago thug. Is this what we want from our president? I don't.

A few weeks back, I talked about resetting. Resetting the blog and the YouTube channel.
Well.. Today is New Years Day.. and the reset has begun.
I am posting a video and also letting you know that I have entered a 30 day blog challenge designed to improve the blog and increase readership.
I am going to be asking YOU to help me. All you need to do is keep reading the blog, telling a friend to check out the blog and subscribe. I am NOT doing this for money. There is NOT one penny coming my way in this. I am doing it to help deliver the promise of Scouting and to share my love for the outdoors… that's it… no other motive or gain.
I think that this form of media is strong and far reaching and I want to be a part of it to tell the story of Scouting. Help me out.
So here is the first video of the year. Its about backpacking lanterns. I hope you enjoy it.. look for more to come… and after you watch it here on the blog.. subscribe to the YouTube channel also if you want. To me the blog is more important and you will be getting the videos here anyway.
What kind of lantern is in your pack. Leave a comment and let us know!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

OXFORD – Three men charged with six burglaries in the city of Oxford now face charges in connection with six more break-ins in rural Lafayette County.
Emmanuel Wallace, 25, of Memphis, Tenn; Jerry Johnson, 22, of Coldwater; and Lamarcus Ezell, 24, of Vardaman were arrested Tuesday night in a joint search warrant execution by officers with the Lafayette County Sheriff's Department, Oxford Police Department and Lafayette County Metro Narcotics. Oxford Police Department charged them with six counts each of house burglary on Thursday.
Sheriff's Investigator Scott Mills said that county charges were added Friday morning after several days' examination of the evidence confiscated from the home the men were occupying at 145 Twin Gates Drive in Oxford.
"We're charging all three of those guys with six counts of house burglary," he said. "There will also be a charge of possession with intent to distribute more than an ounce of marijuana."
Mills said the new charges represent at least six more burglaries in scattered parts of Lafayette County to which the confiscated property was connected.
"They were getting us from the areas of Taylor, Pine Flat, where they were living in Twin Gates, old Highway 7 North and the College Hill area," he said.
The trio is believed to have engaged in an extensive sale of stolen items beginning in September, and authorities are asking for the public's cooperation in recovering the property.
"If these individuals will contact us and surrender the items – a lot of electronics and guns as well – they won't be in any kind of trouble," Mills said. Those who don't voluntarily turn in items that turn out to be stolen could face their own charges of buying stolen merchandise.

Road rage turns fatal when man gets run over in Va.
Saturday - 10/27/2012, 2:42pm ET
WASHINGTON - A road rage incident turned fatal in Manassas on Friday when one man tried to climb into another man's car, fell, and was run over, police say.
Brian David Samf, 47, was headed west on Yates Ford Road around 4:30 p.m. in his Dodge Dakota when he began tailgating a man in a Ford F-350, whom police have not identified.
At a stoplight, Samf pulled up beside the Ford driver, got out of his car and approached the half-opened window of the Ford truck. He attempted to climb through the window and start a fight with the Ford's driver, police say. When the Ford started to drive forward, Samf fell and was run over by the truck.
An ambulance took Samf to a nearby hospital where he died.
Police have not filed charges as they continue to investigate. Drugs or alcohol did not appear to be factors in the crash, police say.

OXFORD – Jason Jones is a fifth-year senior. He's played a lot of November football.
But it's been a while since the Ole Miss defensive end has played November games with any real relevance.
If Jones and the Rebels defeat Vanderbilt this week they will secure a winning season and a bowl game for the first time since 2009.
"It feels good to be at this point in the season actually playing for something. The last two seasons, you want to get those out of your mind, out of the whole program," he said. "This is something that's really meaningful to us all, not just me."
Vanderbilt has won four of the last five in the series, and the game is meaningful for the Commodores – who like the Rebels are 5-4 overall – for all the same reasons.
Both teams will have two more chances to lock up a bowl should they fall short Saturday night in a 6 p.m. ESPNU kickoff.
Ole Miss will have remaining games against ranked SEC rivals LSU and Mississippi State, the first on the road, the latter at home.
Vanderbilt will have a home game with Tennessee and a road game with Wake Forest left to play.
Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze has called on his fan base for a strong and vocal turnout at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
"I hope our fans understand the importance of this game and will be here ready to cheer very loudly," he said.
While coaches and players often talk of a "game-at-a-time" approach to the season, Jones says players have talked among themselves of a bowl game since Freeze and his staff arrived.
For Ole Miss, it's not about just beating Vanderbilt to get to a bowl game.
"It would relieve a little pressure, but you never want to be like you're going to settle for six wins," Jones said. "Out of respect for yourself, your teammates, your coaches and the game plan they put together, you don't want to just win one game and be satisfied. You want to try to get all three of them."

Why didn't Hasbro bother to put the Ewoks' names on their box?
Isn't this an insult to Ewok fans everywhere?!!
OK, one of them seems too obviously close to resembling Logray, but I don't recall him being a Twinkie, so why is he colored like one?
Just like Hasbro to give us the light cream filling....
The second one looks awesome, but who the heck is he?
That's not Paploo or Teebo?!! Could it be?
Teebo has a more pig's like head trophy.
Paploo never wore an animal head trophy, so far as I can remember. But without the animal head, this Ewok sort of resembles him.
But I'm hoping it is the Death's Head Ewok you see the first time you see a shot of Leia in the Ewok village.
I'm watching RETURN OF THE JEDI this weekend, so I'll come back and verify that information if I can.
But why couldn't Hasbro just tell us,
who are those Ewoks?

Wells Fargo's David Wong today reflects on "the changing foundry landscape" in the wake of last week's news that Intel (INTC) will take on programmable chip maker Altera (ALTR) as a customer for Intel's contract chip manufacturing.
Writes Wong, who has an Outperform rating on both Intel and Altera shares, the deal "highlights the value of Intel's manufacturing technology capability," and is probably a prep for doing a deal with Apple (AAPL) down the road.
Wong notes Altera's business is inconsequential to Intel's income statement, and so probably the agreement is a trial run for the chip maker, and that it could give the company an even greater edge over contract houses such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM):
The Altera arrangement is in itself small for Intel. In the December 2012 quarter, Altera's total cost of goods sold was $133 million while Intel's cost of goods sold was $5.66 billion and Intel's revenue $13.5 billion. Clearly potential foundry business from Altera represents a tiny fraction (at most 1%, probably a lot less) of Intel's total manufacturing business and capacity. We conclude that: The Altera/Intel arrangement will not have any meaningful effect for Intel's gross margin or for its capital spending plans; It is unlikely that Intel considers the Altera arrangement an end in itself […] We believe it unlikely that Intel will enter into many more foundry arrangements with other chip companies. Our guess is that Intel's interest in doing the Altera foundry arrangement is that its sees this as a way of exercising how to negotiate and execute a fairly small foundry agreement, and a demonstration of its foundry capabilities, with the goal of eventually securing strategic foundry customers such as, perhaps, Apple. Intel has noted that as time passes and the costs of building leading edge fabs rises, there are fewer and fewer companies that have enough scale to justify the cost of building new fabs. We calculate that TSMC's $9 billion in capital spending planned for 2013 represents about 50% of TSMC's 2013 revenue and perhaps as much as 150% of TSMC's revenue from leading edge manufacturing (i.e. 28nm manufacturing). In contrast, backing out the $2 billion Intel is planning to spending on 450mm technology which it does not expect to use in manufacturing for several years yet, Intel's approximately $11 billion of capital spending for current and near- future technology planned for 2013 represents approximately 20% of Intel revenue (the bulk of which is derived from leading edge manufacturing). We think that revenue Intel diverts from traditional commercial foundries (whether this be Altera business or future Apple business) might reduce the appetite and capability of these foundries for high cost advanced technology development, potentially resulting in Intel widening its technology lead over other semiconductor manufacturers. We believe that a growing technology lead could significantly improve Intel's ability to penetrate new areas such as the tablet and smartphone space against entrenched competitors such as makers of ARM-based chips.
Intel shares today are up 2 cents at $21.05.

Very happy ending for this family but now they must relocate due to the threats of harm to their Phineas.

Spoke to the district toy manager and he said ALL walmarts should have their fall/xmas toy set up this week by wednesday...some employee left out the stocking diagram sheets and they were dated for 8/11/10...
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
My Walmart called in extra shifts to get the toy reset done. They now have all of the TVC and Clone Wars figures up, along with a couple of AT-ATs and some Battle Packs. No Jabba's though. Oddly enough, they seem to have restocked the Saga Legends pegs with more of the Legacy red cards. I guess I'll have to wait even longer for my SL Bossk, since that seems to be the only figure from the first wave of SL that is sold out everywhere.
I did pick up an AT-AT and Dengar this morning after my shift (my employee discount knocked a full $10 off the price of the AT-AT ). But I'm in the process of moving right now, so I just dropped them off at the new house and will look forward to opening them once I get moved in within the next couple of days.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
I was wondering as the walmarts in my area have not released any new figures.....all the stores have an interesting strategy: TRU is a month early but with jacked up prices; Target on time with SMRP, and Walmart cant be bothered to put anything out....hmmm
Real men buy Willrow
I stopped by my closest Walmart on Sunday night and the star wars section had nothing but empty pegs. Last night, just 24 hours later, I stopped in again and they have 8 vintage figures on the pegs and 2 of the starfighters left, indicating they had put something out earlier in the day.
Walmart has been horrible at a regional level with regards to rotating their stock. If they would just rotate waves, they would do so much more business.
BTW, no Jabba here. No reserved space or price tag. Exclusives are very hit and miss with Walmarts here. Some will never get them, other stores will get 6 stores worth of allotment.
Stopped by Walmart on my way to work yesterday and the toy section was a giant mess and no new Star Wars Toys out. I stopped by again this morning and everything had been moved and cleaned up. The plan-o-gram thing was taped to each section showing where everything was going to go. There was also a few signs taped over some of the shelves where the close-out stuff had been placed. A note on these signs stated, "THIS SECTION NOT FOR CLEARANCE ITEMS. CLEAR THIS SECTION FOR TONIGHT'S RESET!!!"
The new Star Wars section was nice and orderly with 2 columns of Saga Legends, 2 columns of Clone Wars and 1 column of Vintage. They had been picked through, but they had obviously put new product out since yesterday morning. The price tags were in place on the shelves for the AT-AT, Jabba's Throne, the Battlepacks and all of that, but the shelves were bare. One case of Vehicles had been put out, but the Cloud Car and Snow Speeder were already gone.
Guess I'll be stopping by for the third morning in a row tomorrow

Francois Ambang Wins the Road to Glory 77 kg Tournament
- Written by Dave Walsh
The Road to Glory NYC tournament was stacked. It was, far and away, the most talent packed Road to Glory show put on thus far. So it comes as a large surprise then, that the tournament winner- Francois Ambang- was given virtually no chance before decimating the competition and bringing home the $20,000 prize.
Ambang began the night with a vicious first round KO over Jeremy Carper. In the second round of the tournament he then faced one of the tournament : Marcus Fisher. Francois brutalized Fisher for the first two rounds, earning a 10-8 score after a knockdown in the first, and a solid 10-9 after handily dominating the second en route to a unanimous decision victory. The final saw Ambang meet one of the most well known Americans at 77 kg, Brett Hlavaceck. Brett was also featured on Liverkick's "Top 8 North American Fighters to Watch Out For," (So you know he was legit.) After a close first round, Hlavaceck got injured in the second. Ambang seized the oppurtunity and finished the fight with a flurry to become the next Road to Glory Champion. This goes to show that even though a fighter may be a Muay Thai monster on the American scene, kickboxing is a completely different ballgame.

Somalia: Humanitarian Coordinator calls for more access and an end to fighting
UN agencies and their humanitarian partners continue to have limited access to thousands of families affected by seasonal floods and inter-communal fighting in Somalia's Middle Shabelle region.
"The flooding has affected some 66,000 people in 33 villages in Jowhar district alone," said Humanitarian Coordinator Philippe Lazzarini who visited the region earlier this month. He added that although humanitarian organizations continue to provide assistance, much more needs to be done to help people recover and rebuild their lives.
The Shabelle River floods started in late August in and around the Middle Shabelle town of Jowhar as a result of rains in the Ethiopian highlands. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), an estimated 8,000 hectres of farmland has been destroyed by the floods, affecting the lives of a vast majority of the people in flood-affected areas who are agro-pastoralists.
Farmlands affected, access cut-off
Mr. Lazzarini explained that longer-term assistance is needed to help farmers re-establish their livelihoods and help feed their communities. Many are now in need of seeds, fertilizer and tools so they can start planting once the floods subside.
The floods have also destroyed main roads cutting off Jowhar from neighboring towns, including the capital Mogadishu, affecting the movement of commercial merchandize to the market and limiting aid organizations' access to people in need.
"Many communities have been isolated by the floods. We had to take a boat to reach Jowhar," said Mr. Lazzarini.
Emergency allocation is made
"From our meetings with local authorities, local humanitarian partners and traditional leaders, it was very clear what people want – a solution to the perennial floods affecting many families every year," continued Mr. Lazzarini. "It is critical that the two main canals on the River Shabelle are rehabilitated."
Despite the challenges, aid organizations have ramped up their efforts in recent weeks and continue to reach as many people as possible with emergency supplies such as food, water and shelter. The local and diaspora Somali business communities have also joined the humanitarian effort to support flood-affected families and are providing hot meals for as many as700 people per day for the next four months.
Thousands of people have received shelter and many others have received medical treatments through mobile health clinics. A few days after Lazzarini's visit, the OCHA-managed Common Humanitarian Fund allocated US$1.2 million to support emergency health activities and to improve access to clean water and sanitation in the area.
The fighting must end
The humanitarian situation in Jowhar was further compounded in early November by an outbreak of inter-communal fighting. Nearly 3,000 families fled the fighting and are still living in a congested settlement near the Jowhar air field.
Mr. Lazzarini met displaced families, including a mother of eight who had recently lost her husband, and is struggling to cope. She feared for the safety of her children and did not want to return to her village in case clan violence broke out again.
"The women and children I met in Jowhar told such heartbreaking stories. Many of them were victims of the clan conflict," said Mr. Lazzarini. "The loss of life and displacement of the most vulnerable people, including women and children, is unacceptable. The fighting must end."
Traditional elders in Jowhar have since confirmed that an agreement has been reached to resolve the current conflict. However the displaced families are still waiting for the situation in their villages to stabilize before returning to them.

The Philippines: Helping each other in times of emergency
21 December, 2012
Hide Main Image:
Show Image
Sunday afternoons in the Philippines are, in normal times, peaceful affairs – a time to relax, reflect and spend time with one's family. But in Nabunturan, in the heart of Compostela Valley in Mindanao, these are far from normal times. This valley was one of the areas worst hit by Typhoon Bopha (known locally as Pablo), which struck the Philippines at the beginning of December.
And the municipal hall, far from being peaceful, is abuzz with activity. Through one door comes a steady flow of men carrying 20kg bags of rice over their shoulders, marked with the logos of the World Food Programme, Australian AID and the Department of Social Welfare and Development of the Government of the Philippines. All around are boxes and bags with tins of fish, meat and noodles, many donated by private individuals and companies. All donations are recorded by officials, and noted on a large white board by the main office.
The whole of the first floor is filled with over a hundred volunteers, sitting in groups and busily taking the food and organizing it into family packs in bright red and blue plastic bags for delivery to those affected. The space is filled with chatter and laughter.
It is impressive coordination – a system that brings together large scale international assistance, the private sector, government and ordinary people giving their time. But perhaps the most impressive thing is that so many of these volunteers are people who have themselves been affected by this emergency.
Laarni works in the accountancy department of the municipal government, which is already stretched due to the emergency. As she holds open a plastic bag, a colleague carefully tips in five scoops of rice, 1kg each to make up the prescribed family ration of 5kg. Her kids are at home, she says, and she will stay here helping out all night if that's what is needed.
One group consists entirely of employees from a local banana plantation. Their whole crop was wiped out by the storm – an experience as devastating as it is sadly familiar in post-Bopha Mindanao. As he busily packs items in bags, their Human Resources Supervisor Bernabe Camay says the company will be forced to downsize from 250 employees to just 90: a terrible blow for the 160 who will lose their jobs for up to six months. Yet no less than 42 of them are here today, with their families, giving their time to help others.
"We have been here every weekend since the storm," Bernabe says. "We have husband and wife teams, and families have brought their kids. We have totally lost count of how many parcels we have packed." Among them is the niece of one employee, 15-year-old Fridglin who was too busy to stop except for a quick photo with a beaming smile and beads of sweat across her forehead.
In another corner are Jovy, Jasmin and Norhan. All are education students on provincial scholarships. Their school was damaged in the storm, and has closed for the rest of the term. Exams have been cancelled. They say that when they got an SMS from their scholarship supervisor asking if they wanted to help out, they didn't hesitate. "The province paid for our studies so we kind of feel we owe it to them to give something back," says Jovy. "We have been up the valley to the affected areas and it's awful," adds Jasmin. "The people there really have nothing right now."
In addition to working here, they have been out with fire trucks which are travelling up the valley and are used to provide improvised showers for displaced families, especially children. This is particularly critical, given reports of skin disease from wounds sustained during the typhoon.
On the other side of the hall, the finished food parcels are packed back into rice sacks for ease of transport and loaded into government and military trucks for delivery. The volunteers here say they will carry on working until their services are no longer needed. Unfortunately, the enormous damage to agriculture means that the suffering caused by Bopha will continue for months to come. And for those who lost family members and friends, it will take far longer to heal.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
It was initially used to, to book in another country something online and doing everything to write / read in English. The contact persons at Wimdu or Break Square but were great and extremely helpful.
The apartment was exactly as described: beautiful, well appointed, great bathroom, great kitchen, central, very well accessible location.
From the nursery from the Eiffel Tower can be seen from the window of the living room is a part of the dome of Sacre Ceur seen. The small Montmantrebus holds virtually on the doorstep.
Mostly we are but took the metro and got off at Blanche and booted. Goes well.
Supermarket at the bottom of the rue le Pic / Tholose on the way to the metro station Blanche.
The staff at Wimdu / Square Break were in case of need (once it has carved out the fuse) to reach directly and have taken care of immediately, brought a solution immediately. Absolute superclass.
Greetings and have fun in Paris, Thomas
Es war zunächst gewöhnungsbedürftig, in einem anderen Land etwas online zu buchen und dabei alles in Englisch zu schreiben/lesen. Die Kontaktpersonen bei Wimdu bzw. Squarebreak waren aber klasse und extrem hilfreich.
Das Appartment war genau so, wie es beschrieben ist: Schön, gut ausgestattet, tolles Bad, tolle Küche, zentrale, sehr gut erreichbare Lage.
Vom Kinderzimmer aus ist der Eifelturm zu sehen, aus dem Fenster des Wohnzimmers ist ein Teil der Kuppel von Sacre Ceur zu sehen. Der kleine Montmantrebus hält quasi vor der Haustüre.
Meist sind wir aber mit der Metro gefahren und bei Blanche ausgestiegen und hochgelaufen. Geht gut.
Supermarkt am unteren Ende der rue le Pic/Tholose auf dem Weg zur Metrostation Blanche.
Die Mitarbeiter von Wimdu/Squarebreak waren im Bedarfsfalle (einmal hat es die Sicherung rausgehauen) direkt zu erreichen und haben sich sofort gekümmert, sofort eine Lösung gebracht. Absolute Superklasse.
Grüße und viel Spaß in Paris, thomas
The apartment was wonderful . Melissa was very nice. We would not hesitate to book this apartment again .
The apartment was located very beautifully and perfectly.
Die Wohnung war sehr schön und perfekt gelegen.
super nice big apartment, the sofa bed could be better, but really good location, close to the hot little shops with everything your heart begær.Tæt the metro, and plenty of eateries. Because of the holiday, a little trouble getting in touch with udlejerselsskabet.Men altogether lovely stay and a big thank you for Alpha, our contact from the square break. Highly recommended.
super dejlig stor lejlighed,sovesofaen kunne være bedre, men rigtig god beliggenhed, tæt på små lækre forretninger med alt hvad hjertet begær.Tæt på metro, og masser af spisesteder. På grund af helligdag, lidt problemer med at komme i kontakt med udlejerselsskabet.Men alt i alt dejligt ophold, og en stor tak til Alpha, vores kontakt fra squarebreak. Kan varmt anbefales.
Quiet street on the edge of the tourist area in the sixth, so there is more of a feel of being in a neighborhood. Metro stations nearby. Nice 1850s building with lift. Kitchen (dishwasher, washer and dryer) and bathroom recently updated and very satisfactory. The flat is owned by a woman in her sixties who apparently moves out when it is rented. It reflects her taste, which is gracious and elegant (and quirky). A very nice Parisian experience
The view from the balcony was breathtaking! The apartment is very modern and the Metro was not far away. To fill a supermarket around the refrigerator, was just around the corner.
Die Aussicht vom Balkon war atemberaubend! Das Apartment ist sehr modern eingerichtet und die Metro war nicht weit entfernt. Ein Supermarkt um den Kühlschrank zu füllen, war gleich um die Ecke.
Zentrale Lage, Supermarkt und Bäckerei gleich um die Ecke, Ca 500m zum eiffelturm. Gastgeberin freundlich, alles lief sehr unkompliziert. Parkplatz ist keiner vorhanden, allerdings kann man für 18€/Tag das Parkhaus des Supermarkt nutzen.
Sehr empfehlenswert!!
Wir hatten schöne Tage in Paris. Die Wohnung ist hell und sauber - für 5 Personen großzügig. Sie liegt in einem ruhigen Viertel etwas außerhalb von Paris. Die Metro-Station ist aber nicht weit und mit der Metro ist man schnell an allen wichtigen Orten. Unterhalb der Wohnung ist ein ital. Restaurant. Den Gastronomiebetrieb haben wir aber nicht als störend empfunden. Vielleicht noch ein Hinweis: Die Straßenbezeichnung Rue de l'Eglise kannte unserer Tom-Tom nicht. Der gleichnamige Place ist aber auch zielführend. Parkplatz ist in einer Tiefgarage in der benachbarten Rue Godefroy.
WLan ist praktisch.

ean Little's most recent book, The Sweetest one of all, is a picture book for very young children and their parents. In it, barnyard animal babies ask their mothers who they are and each of them is told that he or she is the sweetest one of all. The book ends with a human mother telling her little one the same thing. And getting a loving hug in response. The playful text should continue to delight both children and adults even after many readings.
The colourful illustrations by Marisol Sarrazin are endearing and filled with lively detail. Each will hold small readers spellbound.

Wow, you guys get raped for material costs down under!
I'm storing time zone offsets and DST adjustment rules in EEPROM ...
My ultimate goal would be a heap of clocks that keep reasonably good time, and then a GPS-based "central clock" that gets highly accurate time (eg. daily) and then updates all the other clocks with a radio transmission to them. And that central clock could keep track of daylight savings time as well.
