text:
Annexation (Latin ad, to, and nexus, joining) is the permanent acquisition and incorporation of some territorial entity into another geo-political entity (either adjacent or non-contiguous).[1] Usually, it is implied that the territory and population being annexed is the smaller, more peripheral, and weaker of the two merging entities, barring physical size. It can also imply a certain measure of coercion, expansionism or unilateralism on the part of the stronger of the merging entities. Because of this, more positive euphemisms like political union/unification or reunification are sometimes seen in discourse. Annexation differs from cession and amalgamation, because unlike cession where territory is given or sold through treaty, or amalgamation (where the authorities of both sides are asked if they agree with the merge), annexation is a unilateral act where territory is seized and held by one state and legitimized via general recognition by the other international bodies (i.e. countries and intergovernmental organisations).[2][3]
During World War II, the use of annexation deprived whole populations of the safeguards provided by international laws governing military occupations. The authors of the Fourth Geneva Convention made a point of "giving these rules an absolute character", thus making it much more difficult for a state to bypass international law through the use of annexation.[4]
International law after 1948[edit]
The Fourth Geneva Convention (GCIV) of 1949 amplified the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 with respect to the question of the protection of civilians.[5] GCIV also emphasised the United Nations Charter:[4] the United Nations Charter (June 26, 1945) had prohibited war of aggression (See articles 1.1, 2.3, 2.4) and GCIV Article 47, the first paragraph in Section III: Occupied territories, restricted the effects of annexation on the rights of persons within those territories:
Protected persons who are in occupied territory shall not be deprived, in any case or in any manner whatsoever, of the benefits of the present Convention by any change introduced, as the result of the occupation of a territory, into the institutions or government of the said territory, nor by any agreement concluded between the authorities of the occupied territories and the Occupying Power, nor by any annexation by the latter of the whole or part of the occupied territory.
Article 49 prohibits mass movement of people out of or into occupied territory:[6]
Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive. ... The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.
Protocol I (1977): "Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, and relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts" has additional articles which cover military occupation, but many countries including the United States are not signatory to this additional protocol.
Examples since 1948[edit]
Portuguese India[edit]
In 1954, the residents of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, a Portuguese enclave within India, ended Portuguese rule with the help of nationalist volunteers. From 1954 to 1961, the territory enjoyed de facto independence. In 1961, the territory was merged with India after its government signed an agreement with the Indian government.
In 1961, India and Portugal engaged in a brief military conflict over Goa and Daman and Diu, Portuguese enclaves within India. India invaded and conquered the areas after 36 hours of fighting, ending 451 years of Portuguese colonial rule in India. The action was seen in India as a liberation of historically Indian territory. In Portugal however, the loss of Goa and the Daman and Diu was seen as a national tragedy. Goa and Daman and Diu were incorporated into India.
In 1947, a popular vote rejected Sikkim's joining the Indian Union and the prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, agreed to a special protectorate status for Sikkim. Sikkim came under the suzerainty of India, which controlled its external affairs, defence, diplomacy and communications, but Sikkim otherwise retained autonomy. A state council was established in 1955 to allow for constitutional government under the Chogyal. Meanwhile trouble was brewing in the state after the Sikkim National Congress demanded fresh elections and greater representation for the Nepalese. In 1973, riots in front of the palace led to a formal request for protection from India. The Chogyal was proving to be extremely unpopular with the people. In 1975, the Kazi (Prime Minister) appealed to the Indian Parliament for a change in Sikkim's status so that it could become a state of India. In April, the Indian Army moved into Sikkim, seizing the city of Gangtok and disarming the Palace Guards. A referendum was held in which 97.5% of the voting people (59% of the people entitled to vote) voted to join the Indian Union. A few weeks later, on May 16, 1975, Sikkim officially became the 22nd state of the Indian Union and the monarchy was abolished.[7]
In 1954, former British Ogaden (a Somali Region) was annexed by Abyssinia. Somali nationalists have waged wars of liberation since 1954. Currently, the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF) leads this nationalist effort and is engaged in a fierce military confrontation with Ethiopia, the new name of Abyssinia.
On 18 September 1955 at precisely 10:16 am, in what would be the final territorial expansion of the British Empire, Rockall was declared officially annexed by the British Crown when Lieutenant-Commander Desmond Scott RN, Sergeant Brian Peel RM, Corporal AA Fraser RM, and James Fisher (a civilian naturalist and former Royal Marine), were deposited on the island by a Royal Navy helicopter from HMS Vidal (coincidentally named after the man who first charted the island). The team cemented in a brass plaque on Hall's Ledge and hoisted the Union Flag to stake the UK's claim.[8] However this annexation is not recognised by Denmark (for the Faroe Islands), the Republic of Ireland or Iceland.
East Timor[edit]
Following an Indonesian invasion in 1975, East Timor was annexed by Indonesia and was known as Timor Timur. It was regarded by Indonesia as the country's 27th province, but this was never recognised by the United Nations. The people of East Timor resisted Indonesian forces in a prolonged guerilla campaign. (See: Indonesian rule in East Timor).
Following a referendum held in 1999, under a UN sponsored agreement between Indonesia and the people of East Timor rejected the offer of autonomy within Indonesia. East Timor achieved independence in 2002 and is now officially known as Timor-Leste.
Western Sahara[edit]
In 1975, and following the Madrid Accords between Morocco, Mauritania and Spain, the latter withdrew from the territory and ceded the administration to Morocco and Mauritania. This was challenged by an independentist movement, the Polisario Front that waged a guerrilla war against both Morocco and Mauritania. In 1979, and after a military putsch, Mauritania withdrew from the territory which left it controlled by Morocco. A United Nations peace process was initiated in 1991, but it has been stalled, and as of mid-2012, the UN is holding direct negotiations between Morocco and the Polisario front to reach a solution to the conflict.
West Bank[edit]
The part of former Mandatory Palestine occupied by the Jordanian Army during the Israeli War of Independence, which Israelis call "Judea and Samaria", was renamed "the West Bank". It was annexed to Jordan in 1950 at the request of a Palestinian delegation.[9] It had been questioned, however, how representative that delegation was, and at the insistence of the Arab League Jordan was considered a trustee only.[10] Although only the United Kingdom and Pakistan recognized annexation by Jordan, the British did not consider it Sovereign to Jordan .[11] It was not condemned by the UNSC and it remained under Jordanian rule until 1967 when it was occupied, though not annexed, by Israel. Jordan did not officially relinquish its claim to rule the West Bank until 1988.[12] Israel has not taken the step of annexing the territory rather, there were enacted a complex (and highly controversial) system of military government decrees in effect applying Israeli law in many spheres to Israeli settlements and to them alone.
East Jerusalem[edit]
During the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel captured the East Jerusalem, a part of the West Bank, from Jordan. On June 27, 1967, Israel unilaterally extended its law and jurisdiction to East Jerusalem and some of the surrounding area, incorporating about 70 square kilometers of territory into the Jerusalem Municipality. Although at the time Israel informed the United Nations that its measures constituted administrative and municipal integration rather than annexation, later rulings by the Israeli Supreme Court indicated that East Jerusalem had become part of Israel. In 1980, Israel passed the Jerusalem Law as part of its Basic Law, which declared Jerusalem the "complete and united" capital of Israel. In other words, Israel purported to annex East Jerusalem.[13][14][15] The annexation was declared null and void by UNSC Resolutions 252, 267, 271, 298, 465, 476 [16] and UNSC res 478[17]
Jewish neighborhoods have since been built in East Jerusalem, and Israeli Jews have since also settled in Arab neighborhoods there, though some Jews may have returned from their 1948 expulsion after the Siege of Jerusalem (1948).
No countries recognized Israel's annexation of East Jerusalem, except Costa Rica, and those who maintained embassies in Israel did not move them to Jerusalem.[18] The United States Congress has passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act, which recognizes Jerusalem as the united capital of Israel and requires the relocation of the U.S. embassy there, but the bill has been waived by Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama on national security grounds.
Golan Heights[edit]
Israel captured two-thirds of the Golan Heights from Syria during the 1967 Six-Day War, and subsequently built Jewish settlements in the area. In 1981, Israel passed the Golan Heights Law, which extended Israeli "law, jurisdiction, and administration" to the area, including the Shebaa farms area. This declaration was declared "null and void and without international legal effect" by United Nations Security Council Resolution 497. The only state that recognized the annexation is the Federated States of Micronesia.
The vast majority of Syrian Druze in Majdal Shams, the largest Syrian village in the Golan, have held onto their Syrian passports. When Israel annexed the Golan Heights in 1981, 95% of the native Syrians refused Israeli citizenship, and are still firmly of that opinion, in spite of the 15 March 2011-present Syrian civil uprising.[19]
On 29 November 2012, the United Nations General Assembly reaffirmed it was "[d]eeply concerned that Israel has not withdrawn from the Syrian Golan, which has been under occupation since 1967, contrary to the relevant Security Council and General Assembly resolutions," and "[s]tress[ed] the illegality of the Israeli settlement construction and other activities in the occupied Syrian Golan since 1967."[20] The General Assembly then voted by majority, 110 in favour to 6 against (Canada, Israel, Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, United States), with 59 abstentions, to demand a full Israeli withdrawal from the Syrian Golan Heights.[20]
After being allied with Iraq during the Iran – Iraq War (largely due to desiring Iraqi protection from Iran), Kuwait was invaded and declared annexed by Iraq (under Saddam Hussein) in August 1990. Hussein's primary justifications included a charge that Kuwaiti territory was in fact an Iraqi province, and that annexation was retaliation for "economic warfare" Kuwait had waged through slant drilling into Iraq's oil supplies. The monarchy was deposed after annexation, and an Iraqi governor installed.
United States President George H. W. Bush ultimately condemned Iraq's actions, and moved to drive out Iraqi forces. Authorized by the UN Security Council, an American-led coalition of 34 nations fought the Gulf War to reinstate the Kuwaiti Emir. Iraq's invasion (and annexation) was deemed illegal and Kuwait remains an independent nation today.
Subnational annexation[edit]
Within countries that are subdivided noncontiguously, annexation can also take place whereby a lower-tier subdivision can annex territory under the jurisdiction of a higher-tier subdivision. An example of this is in the United States, where incorporated cities and towns often expand their boundaries by annexing unincorporated land adjacent to them. Municipalities can also annex or be annexed by other municipalities, though this is less common in the United States. Laws governing the ability and the extent cities can expand in this fashion are defined by the individual states' constitutions.
Annexation of neighbouring communities occurs in Canada. The city of Calgary, for example, has in the past annexed the communities of Bridgeland, Riverside, Sunnyside, Hillhurst, Hunter, Hubalta, Ogden, Forest Lawn, Midnapore, Shepard, Montgomery, and Bowness.[21][22]

ETF Safety in the Eye of the Beholder
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- If you tune out the noise -- Spanish bond yields, Greek elections, U.S. job weakness, China "hard landing" -- simplicity can guide intelligent investment decisions. Here are three potential ideas for ETF enthusiasts:
1. Safety in emerging-market sovereign debt. For example, emerging-market sovereign bonds are clearly better than comparable U.S. Treasuries. We can debate European contagion risk until we are blue in the face. Yet the iShares Barclays 7-10 Year Treasury Bond Fund (IEF) is distributing 1.85% annually whereas Powershares Emerging Market Sovereign (PCY) is delivering 5.25%.
The reality that the Federal Reserve and the central banks of the world endeavor to create inflation (a.k.a "reflation") only makes things less attractive for the safe- haven darling of U.S. government debt. Traders may try to eke out a bit more capital appreciation from IEF. That said, PCY provides 3.4% more yield and the collective debt-to-GDP ratio for the emergers in PCY versus the same ratio for the U.S. or for Europe will soon redefine the concept of bond safety. (Note: PCY is also dollar-hedged, reducing the currency risk associated with today's "strong dollar.")
2. Below 10 P/Es in foreign markets. It's true that I have virtually no equity exposure to foreign stock ETFs. Without a "black swan" opportunity, I am not going to buy or hold onto assets that fall below and stay below 200-day moving averages. (Note: Review the commentary at this link to understand the way in which I protect ETF portfolios with stop-losses, hedges and non-correlated assets.)

Players worked out the kinks following spring break to ready themselves for three games of proving matches this week.
The Wolves (5-2, 17 points), the second place team in the Olympic League behind North Kitsap (6-1, 18 points), traveled to play North Kitsap on Monday and Kingston on Wednesday before playing at home for the big local rivalry with Port Angeles (0-6) at 6:45 p.m. Friday, April 12.
For some players, the game is more than a homecoming.
Freshmen and sophomore players Eli Berg, Hayden James, Austin Wagner, Tyler Ebert, Cameron Chase and Thomas Winfield have played with the Storm King U-16 team. It splits its players between Sequim and Port Angeles. Last year, the team was in the Washington State Regional Club League and took second place, led by both Sequim and Port Angeles coaches.
For freshmen Chase and Ebert, the experience was a little weird.
Chase, a forward, said they've played together on Storm King for six years practically year-round and haven't played against other Storm King players in a setting like this before.
Ebert said it's been a fun experience playing with the Port Angeles players but he will have a different feeling seeing them on the field.
Berg, a sophomore, said it's weird and different playing friends.
Yet the boys agreed the rivalry isn't as heated as other sports in town.
"The traditional rivalry is displaced with a friendly rivalry," said coach Dave Brasher.
Last year, the Roughriders beat Sequim twice but with the Wolves playing at a high caliber, that doesn't seem likely this year.
Sequim already blanked the Roughriders 2-0 in Port Angeles on March 12.
Berg, who starts in center midfield, said one thing stays true when he plays with friends. "I'll try to knock them over," he joked.
This season, the Wolves' two losses came in shootouts.

Parts of Downtown Sharonville are experiencing flooding following a water main break.
The break happened Saturday afternoon near the Creek and Reading Road intersection at the Sharonville Depot Square.
The water main break began under a utility pole in the area.
The intersection will be closed all day on Saturday as crews clear the scene. Waterworks says the area should be open by Sunday morning.
The water break has been repaired and Reading Road is being examined for damage.
Reading Road will be open to through traffic except at the intersection of Reading and Creek Roads which will be taken down to one lane through that intersection only.
There will be road construction at this same intersection to repair the damage to Reading Road starting Monday morning at approximately 8 a.m.

Features : De Villiers' T20 juggling act continues
News : Du Plessis captain for T20s; Tahir left out of Tests Players/Officials:
Faf du Plessis
Pakistan tour of South Africa
South Africa
Faf du Plessis, the South Africa batsman, has been appointed full-time Twenty20 captain, beginning with the matches against Pakistan, after AB de Villiers requested to stand down from the role. The development means South Africa will have a different captain for each format, with Graeme Smith leading the Test side, de Villiers the ODI team and du Plessis the T20 side.
Jacques Kallis was once again rested from the limited-overs squads to play Pakistan - he had missed the games against New Zealand too - as South Africa seek to manage his workload. Cricket South Africa (CSA) said Hashim Amla had asked for a break from T20 cricket this year to focus on the other two formats and so was left out of the squad, as was Dale Steyn, who was also rested.
Fast bowler Morne Morkel, who will miss the third Test in Centurion because of a hamstring injury sustained at Newlands, was named in the ODI squad but will be replaced by the uncapped Kyle Abbott for the T20 matches. Lonwabo Tsotsobe, who is missing the Tests against Pakistan because of an ankle injury, was also named in both limited-overs squads.
Henry Davids, Aaron Phangiso, Chris Morris and Quinton de Kock, who made their T20 debuts against New Zealand, were retained in the squad, but wicketkeeper de Kock lost his ODI spot to David Miller. De Villiers will keep wicket in the ODIs.
"AB has expressed that sometimes he feels that he is not sure about T20 cricket so we have decided to give Faf the leadership," South Africa coach Gary Kirsten said. "The decision to make AB keep again is because we feel that is our strongest combination. Quinton de Kock will learn from the chances he had and he will be back at some point.
Du Plessis had filled in for de Villiers as captain during the T20 series against New Zealand at home as well, after de Villiers cited the need for rest because of his workload, which includes wicketkeeping.
"Handing Faf the T20 captaincy is an exciting option for us to explore our leadership resources," Kirsten said. "He showed a lot of potential during the series against New Zealand in both the T20 and ODI formats, and this will be another great opportunity for him to work on his role as a leader.
"Having three captains also allows us to spread the resources among our three formats, with Graeme (Smith) and AB also providing the ideal support in the Test and ODI formats. This is an important year for our limited-overs squads and this new direction is an exciting step forward."
The Champions Trophy during the summer in England is the next major ODI tournament and Kirsten said South Africa had a settled team for that campaign. "The balancing has been tried to rest players to explore a couple of new guys. We've got a strong team [for the Pakistan series]," Kirsten said. "It's only Jacques Kallis who does not get considered and JP [Duminy] who is injured. I am negotiating with Kallis around involvement in the Champions Trophy and he has expressed interest in it. We would look to play him in a major trophy."
ODI squad: AB de Villiers (capt), Hashim Amla, Farhaan Behardien, Faf du Plessis, Colin Ingram, Rory Kleinveldt, Ryan McLaren, David Miller, Morne Morkel, Robin Peterson, Aaron Phangiso, Graeme Smith, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe.

Let's get right to it.
You're a business owner. Entrepreneur. Website owner, offline business...
... however you say it, you're in it to make money, right?
That means you need a steady stream of cash from your customers.
You need to turn potential customers into actual customers. As many as possible. Hordes of them. You want them hungry for your products and services, kicking your door down and scrambling to stuff fat wads of cash into your pockets...
... and you need them to be doing it over and over. You want every new customer to become a regular customer, happily handing over more and more money to your business.
Bottom line, if all that's not happening already, you need to make it happen.
And if you don't know how to do that, you need somebody who does.
You need a direct response copywriter/marketing consultant who knows how to make things happen. You need somebody with a history of making those things happen - over and over again for a variety of clients in a variety of markets.
To be blunt, you need me.
Well, this is not the time to brag - empty bragging means nothing, and you, like your business, deserve real results.
So I'm not going to brag. Instead I'll tell you about my previous results. How over the past few years I've helped my clients generate tens of millions of dollars...
... how I've helped them smash their controls, destroy their profit records, and in more than one case, become filthy rich.
In fact, I even helped an 18 year old English kid generate a million dollars with his first ever product.
And I did all that by writing hard-hitting, compelling copy that practically forces your prospects to pull out their credit cards and spend money...
... and by consulting with every client to make sure their whole sales process is airtight and ready for the big leagues.
Of course, all that could be just me making stuff up...
... so I want to throw some proof in here and let you know I'm the real deal.
After all, wouldn't you agree that results speak for themselves?
"... so far it's grossed me around $70,000 which is GREAT!"
Alex Shelton (you can see his video above) hired me to write his latest webinar. His results? He made $70,000 the very first time he ran it. That means my copy paid for itself and generated a very hefty profit within ONE HOUR of being used...
... and that's before he involved any JV partners or did anything to really ramp up the profits.
Not bad huh?
See that guy George? I helped him make a million dollars in sales from his first ever product... and he was just 18 years old at the time.
I mentored under one of the greatest copywriters and marketing minds of all time - John Carlton.
Here's what John says about me:
Aside from all the testimonials and comments from previous clients, I've written no less than TEN #1 selling Clickbank salesletters and video scripts...
... and some of them stayed at the #1 spot for months, generating the clients six figures a WEEK the whole time.
David I've seen enough - I need to contact you NOW!
Maybe you have an online business. Maybe you're offline... or direct mail, mobile, brick and mortar...
... whatever.
Really, it doesn't matter what business you're in.
Doesn't matter what your products are.
Doesn't matter what you're looking for - sales video scripts, webinar scripts, traditional salesletters, marketing advice, direct mail pieces, email campaigns...
... or even if you just want me to work my magic and give you insights into why your current project is tanking.
As long as your business is legal and ethical, I can help you rake in more dough than you are right now.
How will I do it?
By applying the principles of direct response - all those secrets I've fought long and hard for, all the stuff I've studied fr years and years...
... those same secrets that have generated millions of dollars for other people that have worked with me.
You hire me, my job is to make you more money.
Because you want results, right?
You don't want to throw your money into a black hole and just hope you wind up with a profit at the end of it. You want to hire a pro with a proven track record of generating profits.
Big, meaty profits. Delivered sizzling on a plate, just for you.
And that's what I do.
I eat, sleep, drink and breathe conversions and high-octane marketing tactics... and I'm itching to unload all my firepower onto your next project.
Or your current one, if you have something that you just know isn't performing like it should.
Can you magine what it's going to feel like to go live with your next project and explode into success immediately...
... just like some of my clients mentioned above have gotten?
Can you imagine how it feels to have those kinds of profits flooding your bank account every minute of every day?
... you don't need to imagine it.
You can experience it for yourself.
To do that... or to drag that tired old product up from the depths and start generating the kind of profits you deserve...
... call me right now on 512-487-7751
We'll talk it over, and if we're a good fit I'll go to work helping you make more money. Way more money.
I get a lot of calls, so be prepared to leave a message with your name and number, and I'll get back to you ASAP.
Oh and there's a 24 hour answer maching too - so if it's 3am and you just found this site, give me a call anyway and leave a message. I'll get back to you first thing in the morning, and we'll see about grabbing you some of those increased profits I know you deserve.
Alternatively, fill out the form below and I'll get right back to you by email if you prefer.
Give me some details below and I promise to get back to you within 24 hours.
P.S.- Let's get down to brass tacks. It's harder and harder to make sales these days. Your customers have more going on in their lives than ever, something new grabbing their attention every single day. It's never been tougher to cut through the noise and generate consistent profits... and that's why you need me.
You need me to help you create marketing and advertising that slices through that noise and shakes your prospects awake, demanding their attention.
You need me to turbo-charge your sales funnel and create the kind of vicious, snarling copy that gets your prospects bubbling with desire for your products and makes them eager to give you money.
Contact me now, and we'll make that happen together.

Select your lines or 2D poly, then Properties and change the THICKNESS value.
If you wanna instead get 3D objects, simply issue _EXTRUDE on closed polylines.
I press "connect" and then "Add SHP Connection".
I Chose the 2D shp file, connect it and then add to map.
I have height value and i want to create 2.5D Buildings from my data, like google maps example
what is my next step?
in that case you can't use the FDO technology as you need AutoCAD polylines for extrusion.
So use command _MAPIMPORT, after you selected type SHP and the filename don't forget in the next dialog to go to the 3rd tab and mark "use closed polylines for polygons" (not the exact wording).
Then you have polylines and can do what antoniovinci suggested to do.
- alfred -
i used the mapimport command and its import points instead polygon
what version of Map3D do you have?
Are you sure that you selected the correct SHP-file? Because I don't know any option within Map3D that creates points from a polygonal shape!
- alfred -
AutoCAD Map 3D 2013
it was my mistake! sorry!
>> it was my mistake! sorry!
Could happen always and to everyone, don't worry!
- alfred -
Now i can see the 2d polygon of buildings.
i have the height value for the polygons.
How i can convert the polygon to 2.5D like google maps?

UAW, Ford talks heat up
Ongoing contract talks between the UAW and Ford are heating up.
The union has indicated it expects more for workers from the only Detroit automaker to avoid bankruptcy.
Since Ford is the best-positioned of the three US carmakers, union leaders expect to get better terms from that company than from GM and Chrysler.
If the two sides can't come to an agreement, there is the possibility of a strike. Since Ford didn't go through bankruptcy, it doesn't have the no-strike clause in its current contract that the other companies enjoy.
Like its fellow US automakers, Ford is reluctant to increase its fixed costs by raising wages. But the union is expected to make a major push for bonuses, more generous profit-sharing formulas and retaining jobs in the US.
In the meantime, the UAW is also juggling ongoing contract talks with Chrysler. Entry-level wages and health care contributions are the major sticking points there.
The UAW and GM have already reached a tentative contract agreement. Union locals are set to vote on the plan this week.

The New York Mets will target veteran bullpen arms through free agency and trades this offseason, a team source tells Andy Martino of the New York Daily News:
"The young guys give us some depth, but we will still need to add," one source said.
Last winter the Mets also made their bullpen a primary focus. New York signed veteran relievers Jon Rauch and Frank Francisco and acquired right-hander Ramon Ramirez from the San Francisco Giants. Despite their wheeling and dealing this offseason, the Mets bullpen entered the day with baseball's worst ERA (4.67). Rauch has been solid for New York, posting an ERA of 3.59 over 73 appearances, while Ramirez hasn't been as good as expected, maintaining an ERA of 4.24 over 58 appearances. Francisco has faced the most struggles of all the acquisitions, as he's only managed an ERA of 5.53 through 48 appearances. Rauch and Ramirez will hit the free agent market following the season, while Francisco is under team control through 2013. The right-hander will make $6.5 million.

Jets' Scott's injury, not performance, giving Davis a chance
Rex Ryan has made it clear that Bart Scott's playing time went down because of his injury, but it gives Demario Davis a chance to impress.
Jets place S Landry on active/PUP list
The Jets placed four players on the active/physically-unable-to-perform list, including S LaRon Landry.
The New York Jets have signed Davis, their third-round draft pick, to a four-year deal.|||||||
Davis, whom Jets coach Rex Ryan compared to Ray Lewis for his leadership qualities, is expected to give New York's defense some depth as he backs up veteran Bart Scott. The speedy 6-foot-2, 235-pound Davis had 230 tackles and seven sacks in four seasons at Arkansas State.

How to assign a preferred WIFI connection?
I work in a place with 2 WIFI networks. One is my preferred connection which is secured with a password, then one which is Open. The secured WIFI is near my desk and the open is everywhere in the building. When I step away from my desk my phone switches to the Open network. When I come back it doesn't switch back to my preferred secured connection.
Is there any way to assign a preferred WIFI connection so that when I'm near my desk it switches over automatically? The only other solution I've found is to "forget" the open network which I actually like to have access to when I'm in a dead cell connection area like the basement.

Deschutes River SRA
[ 10/10 ]
Gorgeous park where the Deschutes River meets the Columbia. Railroad enthusiasts will enjoy this park as they roll past the campground. Use as a base camp or just relax - this is a campground definitely worth visiting.

McCloud Dance County RV Resort

This is a beautiful little park near Mt. Shasta. We used it as a base camp to explore Northern California. Very friendly and helpful staff. We would definitely stay here again.
Dunsmuir, California
Railroad Park RV Resort
[ 8/10 ]
A beautiful park set among tall trees (we have stayed here before in the "caboose motel"). We looked forward to eating at the diner only to find out that it was closed on Sundays. We would definitely stay here again.

This KOA campground is a great "base-camp" for the Central Valley. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and we would definitely stay at this park again.

In new ad, Nokia admits its new phone is really a camera
When someone is finally honest with you, it's refreshing.
All these years, Apple and Samsung have been selling us phones that really aren't phones at all.
We don't make calls on them. We fiddle about on them like mini-computers.
Finally, Nokia has taken steps to admit that its new phone isn't a phone. It's a camera. A really, really good camera, at that.
In the launch ad for its new Lumia 1020, the company explains that Finns aren't what they used to be.
No one does any phoning or texting or surfing the Web. The sole reason… Read more

Published: June 22, 2010

I am 41 years old and have suffered with urinary stress incontinence for years. It was something I just dealt with, limiting my activities as necessary so I wouldn't end up in an embarrassing situation!
I am very active, keep myself in very good shape, but had to quit playing tennis, and running was totally out of the question!
I decided it was time to get back all of the things I missed so much. I was referred to Dr. Anthony Visco at Duke Urogynecology to talk about my options.
I had the robotic sling procedure one month ago, and I just have to say that I wish I had done this fifteen years ago! Dr. Visco has changed my life! To cough, sneeze, and run around without having to think about my bladder is a dream come true.
Thank you, Dr. Visco, for your expertise and your kindness.

Sometimes you just get a craving to do something different to your hair. If you fancy a change but don't want to commit to a new haircut, why not add a pop of color to your style?
Whether it's long or short, bright highlights will add new life to your hair, and can always be changed back when you get bored of it. Check out these color pop hairstyles and decide what will suit your looks and personality the best.
Here, Alexis Grace adds a touch of pink to her light blonde bob. This color technique is perfect for girlie girls who love pink, but don't want to commit to a bold all-over color. Only the tips of the fringe and front hair layers have been colored—just enough to look funky and fresh.
Brunettes can add a pop of blonde by copying Christina Perri's 'do. Her long layered hair has a striking chunk of platinum blonde added to the front on one side.
Or, you can do an Eve and place a panel of platinum blonde across the whole front hairline.
If red hair is more your thing, then take inspiration from this fiery auburn 'do that has cherry red highlights pulled through the bangs and the layers around the face.
See more colorful hair by browsing our range of hairstyles here and try the hairstyles on with your own photo, or give one of the 53 virtual hair colors and various highlight options a try using our Virtual Hairstyler.
