The post Business Travel to Brazil? Explore São Paolo appeared first on .]]>
If you've got a few hours free, take a stroll up Avenida Paulista, which is packed full of stores, restaurants and cafes. For a quick hit of culture, call into the Museu de Arte de São Paulo, or "MASP" for short, and for a panoramic view of the city, get to the top of the Banco Nacional do Estado São Paulo (or "BANESPA") building, Brazil's answer to New York's Empire State Building (except it's free!)
Feeling peckish? Well, there are a myriad ethnic restaurants in the city, but for something traditional sit down to a big portion of feijoada, a sumptuous meal of pork, rice, soup and more pork. Try to also get your hands on a Bauru sandwich – a hot sandwich filled with tomato, cucumber, and four different kinds of cheese over roast beef. As a snack, you can't beat Torresmo, (fried pig skins) for meaty, salty goodness, or grab an empanada, which you can find at street carts around the city. For liquid refreshment, enjoy a blended açaí berry concoction, or the fiery local liquor, cachaca.
And it's not all skyscrapers in São Paolo. The historical district is right next to the business district: take the train to Luz, a dingy, non-descript transit hub that's just a stone's throw from a breathtaking, old train station of the same name, which now houses the Museu da Lingua Portuguesa, as well as a node of the São Paulo commuter rail line. Old São Paulo is also home to the city's Mercado Municipal, whose 19th-century exterior encloses a huge variety of fruit and meat sellers, fine restaurants and pastel (pastry) shops within its grand walls and stained-glass windows. Indulge in a Pastel de Bacalhau, a delectable fried cod pastry unique to São Paulo.

The post Travel Hacks for Thanksgiving Weekend appeared first on .]]>
We're all about smart travel hacks at any time of year – but we wanted to share our favourites with you this week as the Thanksgiving season is the time where you may really, really need them. The weather outside is frightful, the traffic at airports and borders is far from delightful, and it seems the entire United States (and quite a bit of Canada) is trying to get home, or to someone else's home, so they can eat a turkey. Far be it for us to point out that Christmas is a few short weeks away – a holiday with pretty much the exact same objective – all we want to do is make your travel life smoother and more productive. So here you go – 3 ways to save your sanity this Thanksgiving:
Use those rewards: Now is the time to cash in on any upgrade, line-skipping, or airport lounge time owed to you by an airline or travel partner. With the amount of bodies passing through airports in the next few weeks, a quiet, executive seat in a lounge with a drink and an outlet for your laptop could be the difference between making it to your destination in one piece or as a frazzled wreck of a traveler. Use those points for car hire too, it'll save time at your destination and there's a good chance you'll be offered extras like GPS or heated seats, a godsend when you step out into the freezing winter.
Choose your days carefully: If you haven't bought your ticket yet you're probably in trouble but for future reference: the day before thanksgiving and the Sunday afterward are always the most popular days to travel, and should be avoided at all costs. It may sound crazy but don't completely rule out trains for some cities, especially on the east coast. The Acela high-speed Amtrack train from Boston to New York Penn Station takes about 3.5 hours, which is less than it would take you to drive to the airport, get through all that airport security, fly to NYC, and take a shuttle from the arrivals gate into Manhattan.
Get tecchie: Use all the technology you can to make your trip run smoother. Check in online 24 hours in advance, and download that boarding pass to your phone. Use the FlightTrack app to check detailed information on departure gates, delays and cancellations, download WeatherPro to check the temperature of your destination (and pack accordingly), and book transport with Uber, so there's a car to pick you up when you arrive.

The post Business and pleasure: Power your trip to Colombia with coffee appeared first on .]]>
Colombians pride themselves on their reputation for high-quality coffee beans, which result from rich volcanic soil and predominantly shade-grown cultivation. As a useful guide: Black coffee is referred to as 'un tinto', and if you're looking for a milky coffee, then you'll want 'un perico' for just a drop of milk or a 'cafe con leche' for a very milky cup.
Colombians drink their coffee with meals on work breaks called media nueves or half nines and onces (eleven), a break that may occur in the morning as its name implies or in the late afternoon. Brewed coffee is widely available from street vendors – look for the ones with the tell-tale thermos flasks. You'll notice Juan Valdez and Oma immediately, the largest national chains, which are still worth a visit. Unlike Starbucks, these chain stores are not very far removed from their suppliers. There are More than 500,000 coffee growers throughout Colombia working on family plantations, growing premium-quality coffee beans across nearly 2.2 million acres of Colombian highlands. In fact, coffee growing is the largest source of rural employment in the country.
If it's the process of coffee-making you're interested in, the appropriately named Coffee Region is the area to head for, and in particular Salento. Here you'll find access to myriad coffee farms where you can take tours and find out how coffee is made, from the first bean to the cup that you drink.

The post Business Travel Luggage – the essentials appeared first on .]]>
Materials: We advocate for carry-on size bags as often as possible, but if you're going long-haul, there may be no way around that large suitcase. With tough space-age materials that will withstand the abuses of foreign travel, extra wheels, and very little weight, the newest cases on the market are nothing like the heavy, awkward bags of the past, and can make your journey a real pleasure. Do be prepared to spend more for better quality, you won't regret it (anyone who has lost a wheel or had a handle come off in their hand during a terminal transfer will agree) Hard shell cases will protect your wardrobe much better than a soft garment bag (and you won't have to worry if it's raining as your luggage is loaded on the plane) and materials like polycarbonate or aluminum will protect even packed electronics.
Durability: In this category we're talking handles and wheels. Try to get rubber-treaded, ball-bearing wheels that rotate 360 degrees, and if possible, avoid wheels mounted in a plastic housing, which can crack. Look for at least a three year warranty, though the high-end companies usually offer lifetime. Another thing to test before you buy is the telescopic handle – a feature that can be extremely frustrating when it starts to malfunction. Check if it can be easily extended and retracted in a hurry, then put something heavy in the suitcase and pick it up by the handle (which you're not supposed to do, technically, but it happens all the time in real life)
Security: If you're nervous about lost or stolen luggage, you should look into the newest luggage tech. Companies like Tumi offer a Tracer program; register the unique code affixed permanently to your suitcase and Tumi will assist in tracking and identifying your stuff. Or if you're looking for a DIY option, TrackDot sells a tracker you can throw in your luggage and follow on your smartphone. If you're just planning on sticking an old-fashioned lock on your bag, you should be getting a 'TSA' approved model – locks that can be opened by security officers using universal "master" keys.

The post Our Favorite Irish Pub in Ottawa appeared first on .]]>
The Preston Street Heart and Crown is their second location of the same name, a brand new beautiful pub and restaurant with plenty of comfortable seating both inside and outside. On most weekends all those seats are filled with people having a good time or enjoying a good meal.
In addition to having a great selection of brews, their sizable menu is features traditional Irish pub fare, combined with vegetarian options, and lighter meals like their excellent salads and sandwiches. Their sweet potato French fries are excellent and can be substituted for a small fee.
The best thing about the Heart and Crown is the service, friendly and helpful wait staff and bartenders make the atmosphere of this Ottawa Pub something special. Come for the excellent selection of beers on tap, but stay for the good vibes and good times.

The post Relocating to Ottawa? Consider the ByWard Market Neighborhood appeared first on .]]>
The market itself, which is open year-round, is Canada's oldest continuously operating farmers' market and you can browse specialty food stores that have been here for over 100 years. In the warmer months, the open-air stalls are packed full of fresh produce, flowers and foodie treats, but venture inside the market building in Winter and you'll still have plenty of gourmet offerings to choose from – as well as some great gifts to send the folks back home.
The neighborhood is culturally diverse – originally French and Irish, it's now a typical Canadian melting pot, as seen in the lively variety of restaurants which have sprung up in the area. For something cute and Canadian, try the 'Beavertail' – fried golden dough topped with everything from cinnamon sugar to banana and chocolate. For dinner, check out Corazon de Maiz for authentic Mexican dishes, Blue Cactus for contemporary southwest cuisine, or the historic Black Thorn for a cozy bite to eat in the pub, which was once a local carriage builder's workshop.
The area is nothing if not picturesque; around the market, five open-air, cobblestone courtyards feature flowers, park benches, fountains, and sculptures, and street performers often draw crowds. The narrow streets are bustling with restaurants, nightclubs, cafés, and boutiques, so you'll be entertained from your first coffee of the morning to the last pint of the night. And when you've soaked up all that history, culture and cuisine? Why, you just have to roll into bed at your CorporateStays.com apartment rental nearby. Perfection!

The post Business Lunch in Panama City? Book these tables appeared first on .]]>
For a sophisticated, formal meal: La Casa del Marisco
If you need to impress new business associates and your expense account is fairly sturdy, then book a table well in advance at La Casa del Marisco. You'll likely be dining with politicians and celebrities, but that shouldn't distract you from the incredible seafood , particularly the Centollo (crab) which should be mentioned when booking as it's often sold out.
For Typical Panamanian Fare: Las Tinajas
If your meal is more about introducing Panama rather than impressing your guests, then you shouldn't rule out a stop at tourist spot Las Tinajas. The folkloric dancing show may not be your cup of tea, but the authentic and traditional dishes do give a real taste of the local culture. It's not fine dining, but it's a memorable all-round experience for those who want to get to know the country a little over lunch.
For a big group: Madrigal
A great spot in Casco Viejo – you can book a private room in advance if you need to accommodate a large group. Excellent wine list and good selection of meat and fish dishes. It's not cheap but the service, food and atmosphere live up to the pricetag. Spanish Chef Andres Madrigal uses more than 90 percent Panamanian ingredients in a unique style that blends modern Spanish and Mediterranean – go for the tasting menu and you won't be disappointed.

The post What to expect on a business trip to Mexico City appeared first on .]]>
It's not called Mexico City: Well, not by the locals anyway. The term you'll hear is D.F. (or, in the Spanish accent "Day-Effe") short for Distrito Federal. People from the city are called Capitalinos, Defeños or the much less formal, Chilengos.
It's much cleaner than you think: Thanks to an excellent metro system, bike-sharing, and tough industrial controls, the city has drastically cut it's pollution and traffic rates. Look out for the volcanic peaks that ring the city on a clear day.
It a great blend of modern and historic: If you're in town on business, you'll likely be spending time in the colonia of Santa Fe, located on the western edge of the city centre. This modern urban zone is comprised of glass and steel skyscrapers, a giant shopping mall, convention centre and office parks that house Fortune 500 corporate offices and global hotel chains. But take a walk down the Paseo de la Reforma boulevard and you'll pass forested parks, museums, historical sites, fountains, and majestic old homes.
Business and pleasure are inseparable: If you're coming from the U.S. or Canada to Latin America for the first time on business, you should be warned that the business travel "scene" in Mexico is very social. Your Mexican colleagues will feel more comfortable doing business with you after they have shared a beer with you, so expect invitations for lunch, dinner or cocteles in the district's many outdoor cafes, bars, and hotel lobbies. And before raising a glass, don't forget the essential cheers – "Salud"!

The post On business in Colombia? Take a side trip to Cartagena appeared first on .]]>
There's no need for an itinerary in Cartagena – your best plan is to just wander the narrow cobbled streets, taking in the proud colonial Spanish architecture, green leafy plazas, and clip-clopping horse-drawn carriages. The walled districts of San Diego and El Centro are good places to get lost – although if you happen to pass the famous Heredia Theatre or the Museo del Arte Moderno, you should definitely take a look inside. The former is a stunning building full of marble, overhead frescos and velvet, while the latter has a great collection of work from native artists.
And when your stomach starts to grumble you will not be disappointed. Located so close to the sea, Cartagena has some of the freshest, most delicious seafood dishes, including tangy ceviche and the traditional Cazuela de Mariscos, a hearty seafood stew. Finish with a sweet coconut flan and a cold glass of Colombian beer, and you'll find that you never want to leave.
And if you're ready for a dip in the sea to cool off? Nothing could be simpler. Just an hour's drive away you'll find the turquoise waters and white-sand beaches of Islas de Rosario, an archipelago of 27 islands stretching out into the glittering Caribbean. In the high season you'll find that it is a tourist draw, but get out there when it's quiet and you can enjoy swimming, snorkelling, and a delicious lunch of lobster, crab and red snapper. Spend the day here and forget you ever came to Colombia with business in mind.

Elite 150 and other scooter owners beware of CDI!
So this is going to be a thread for anyone experiencing any intermittent type problems on their scooter. I wanted to spread the word on spark problems. But any problems with performance can go here, all scooter models and brands welcome.
So for my problem[s]. So I have had a Satellite blue 1986 Honda Elite 150 Deluxe for the past 2 years. You have likely read many of my posts on problems that I have had with it. But I will explain if you haven't.
Unfortunately, this scooter has suffered many problems in the past 2 years. It has had it's engine overhauled at just 11,700 miles with a 1897 Elite 150 engine that had only 2,900 miles on it or so. It had no compression with bad piston wrings and engine damage to the side walls. Figuring it wasn't worth it, I simply replaced it with an engine in great condition off of ebay.
Ever since I have had it, it has had a power problem. It would CONSTANTLY have the power go on and off. Usually it would start up running very rough and poorly. But once in a while it would start up running great. Or sometimes restarting it helped, but now usually. This problem drove me insane. I could just be riding down any road at any time and the power would just flick off like a switch. The first thing, like most mechanics would suspect was the carburetor. I checked it out. I took it apart and all was great. I blamed the Auto By starter, as these can cause a couple of problems. But after enough research and wrenching, I discovered that this was completely uninvolved. I also replaced the carb with a brand new OEM one just to be sure. Nothing better.
So I was stuck for a while, and upon trying to commute on it to San Jose, it just wasn't doing it. I avoided the interstate, and took a 2 lane 55 MPH highway. Not enough speed or power to be safe. So I tried a 45 MPH road parallel to the 2 lane highway. Still dangerous! So I had to pull out a big bike to commute. But it doesn't get such great gas milage, and is harder to maneuver in traffic. The Elite is perfect for the expressway in rush hour, especially with it's light weight and auto CVT. I just love it for this ride!
But I couldn't do it! It was to damn slow, and no top end. Winds would even slow it down a ton.
I trouble shot it everyday, everyday! I took it apart, trying desperately to find the issue. Now, after 2 years, I find it! It was the CDI! You may have read this on a previous thread.
So I test it with a multi meter, and YES! It failed 2-3 of the tests from the service manuel! So I just ordered a new CDI from Monster Scooter parts. It has an aftermarket one with no rev limit. It gives an even better spark for even better acceleration! It runs like a dream now!
So now the logic behind CDIs and why the hell we need then.
So a CDI, or Capacitive Discharge ignition, is just in simple terms what boosts your voltage and advances your timing. It takes voltage from your pulse generator or alternator, and boosts the voltage big time by holding charges.
Generally about 100 or so AC volts come into it, and it takes that and shoots out around 37,000 AC volts! Sometimes more or less, depending on your engine. If it is not working right, it can fail intermittently like mine did, or fail altogether, so that your engine won't even start at all. It could also be the connector or wires going out of it or into it. Or your ignition coil, spark plug wire, spark plug, etc. But this is definitely something to take a look at!
So why the hell do we need this kind of voltage? It doest take 37,000 voltes to jump that tiny little gap and explode very flammable gasoline with in air does it?
No, it doesn't take that much voltage at all. In fact you can take your spark plug out, ground it to the frame, and you will see a decent spark or even a nice, clean blue spark, even if your CDI is failing! But there is a good reason why we need the CDI.
So when your engine is running, what's right before the combustion stroke, or spark plug firing stroke? COMPRESSION STROKE! Yes, a compression of around 180 PSI, possibly much more or much less depending on your compression ratios and engine size, type, etc. But, there is compression. This means that right before that spark plug fires, there is a vacuums in the cylinder. It is very tightly compressed, and the air pressure is high. What does this mean? This means it will take much much more electricity for travel the same distance under this pressure. It is sealed in there, and no air is escaping once that exhaust valve closes on a good motor. So that means you will need WAY more electricity to jump that tiny gap. The pressure makes it much harder to jump that gap.
When you ground the plug against your frame, air pressure is normal, but when you put it in that cylinder, you will need much much more electricity to successfully jump that gas and make a powerful spark. This is where the CDI comes in. It sends tons of voltage to the ignition coil, and if this is not enough, you will get spark, but not enough for a full, powerful combustion. It just stores energy in a rectifier and at the correct intervals sends it to your coil.
It will explode, but not a great one under that pressure. This causes fuel inefficiency, slow acceleration, low top speed, etc. Then sometimes it will work, and send a great charge to your ignition coil and it'll run great.
My top speed was only 45-50MPH, with horrible slow acceleration. Sometimes at WOT it would flicker, as in slow down and speed up, while backfiring, but now always.
So this is some of the basic workings of it. Now I will make a chart of other electronics that could cause similar issues:
-Pulse Generator
-Ignition Coil
-Spark plug wire
-CDI connectors/ wires
-Bad spark plug
These also can cause problems, so also check them if this is not your problem
Now here are some of many symptoms. If you have even one of them, its worth a look!
-Slow top speed
-Lack of "Kick" in power
-Poor acceleration [Off the line and especially in midrange]
-Poor Hill climbing abilities
-Low torque
-Lack of high RPMs
-Intermittency between power
-Poor gas milage
-Backfiring [Especially during de acceleration]
-Engine sounds low to low pitched and won't rev up or even sounds different
-Full throttle is the same at half throttle
-No passing power
-Just doesn't quite "FEEL" right
-Restarting sometimes changes performance or runs poor after start up after sitting [especially in cold]
These are a few major symptoms that you may or may not have. If you have one, just check it out. It doesn't mean it is not something else, but it could be involved.
If you ride an Elite 150, it may have a different sound when it is running right. I think it is normal. It make a sound that sounds like it is sucking in gas in.
So if you have any questions or want to discuss this, just post!

I had a bad CDI on my Daelim that took over a year to diagnose. The scoot was under warranty but I got so frustrated with its intermittent coughing that I talked the dealer into letting me exchange it for another. Low and behold the new scooter had the exact same problem. The mechanic finally got around to replacing the CDI and all was good. The faulty CDI was causing my scooter to intermittently misfire on acceleration. Since having the CDI replaced I have had 12,000 trouble free miles.
The world would be a better place if there were fewer people who felt like they needed to teach other people a lesson.

Yep, thats what those damn little things do! They are very very hard to diagnose. They make problems that seem very Carburetor like or mechanical like! Sometimes they cause the regular problems, but many times they cause very weird problems.
Wow, the other brand new scoot did the same exact thing? Jeez, CDIs can be a real pain! I hate that intermittency! Because you could be running with full power, and then you got to pass a car and halfway through the pass the power goes away! And there is definitely no power to pass!
Glad you also got yours fixed!

One preventative maintenance strategy on the China GY6 50cc and 125/150cc scooter engines is to just replace the CDI module and ignition coil every few years . . because the stock components are relatively inexpensive.

Yea, I agree. I should also replace my Ignition Coil and spark plug too! I am going to order many parts today, so I'll add one to the list due to it's age.

good article
the cdi system is superior to the old points coil system but no system is perfect. Sometimes when the cdi fails it does so all at once where as the old points system crude as they are fail over time and in emergencies can be tinkered with in the field to get you homea a nice feature when you are off road.

I definitely agree with you robertjludwigsr. There is no truly perfect system. I also know that CDI is better than points. But yea, points is simpler. Just replace your CDI box every so often, or better yet, keep a spare.

This makes no sense. If there is a vacuum, it cannot be tightly compressed with high air pressure. A vacuum is an absence of pressure. There is a vacuum in the cylinder on the intake stroke, then there is a compression stroke at the end of which ignition occurs, thus producing the power stroke. You should reread the principles of the four stroke engine.

Looks like I got my words wrong! Your right, it is actually just pressurized, like in an air compressor. I just got the word Vaccume confused with pressure. It is actually basically the opposite in some ways!

I'm glad I could help mctnez13! We should try and spread the word for these scoots! Spread CDI failure AND the rubber intake manifold replacement.
It just seems to me on these old bikes that CDIs fail somewhat often. I've seen this as the leading cause of various dirt bike cases over the years as well as some big bikes [older carbed models]. CDIs tend to work good, far better than points ignition in my opinion most of the time, but the box can lead to problems like this. It is just so hard to diagnose, you THINK SO STRONGLY its got to be fuel or something! They cause the funniest symptoms.

Baucus has high hopes for farm bill
BOZEMAN — Americans' disgust with a government that accomplishes little is improving the odds of a farm bill passing this year, U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., said Friday.

Alton School Board member tries to make his point with a knife
A portion of the taped meeting during which board member Stephen Miller held up a large knife during a discussion on the district's policy on weapons is posted in a YouTube video called "Knife at Public Meeting - Alton, NH." Videos of school board and other public meetings in Alton are also routinely available on YouTube.
At the Feb. 21 meeting, Miller said he opposed non-students carrying a knife on school grounds. Then, holding up a large knife, said, "This is essentially legal," and he said there are no laws against carrying a knife, any knife, in Florida.
School board chairman Jeff St. Cyr said the current school board weapon policy is the same as in the 1990s, and that the knife should be folded. He then asked Miller to put the knife away.
"Please keep your knife in your pocket because we don't need knives at a school board meeting," said St. Cyr.
"Does that offend you? It should offend you," said Miller.

Big Bang G-Dragon Has The Most Popular Instagram, 1 Million Followers!
By Staff Writer | June 13, 2013 11:58 AM EDT
It maybe doesn't come as a shock that Big Bang leader G-Dragon has a very popular Instagram account. But the K-Pop rapper has just hit a major milestone - one million followers!
Like Us on Facebook
On June 12, G-Dragon posted a screen shot of his achievement with the simple caption, "Wow 1m now."
His followers and fans congratulated him with more than 6 thousand comments and well over 100 thousand 'likes.'
What exactly makes G-Dragon's Instagram account so popular?
For starters, G-Dragon is very popular. He and his group Big Bang have an enormous amount of fans around the world for their unique brand of K-Pop that mixes dance, electronica, hip-hop, and R&B in an entertaining (and sometimes very theatrical) way in their music videos and dynamic live performances.
G-Dragon himself is credited with penning many of the group's songs as well as his own solo works and numerous singles for other members of the YG Entertainment family.
He is quirky, in-your-face, and an all-around nice guy, and his Instagram definitely reflects that.
Every day, G-Dragon updates his followers with scenes from his day, funny pictures, and behind the scenes photos from his tours and projects - another way that he has been able to rack up the long list of followers. GD fans know that each day they can escape into the singer's world and maybe even get a glimpse of some other famous idols along the way.
And as the K-Pop mega star continues to spread his music around the world, he can expect his number of followers to continue to increase.
Check out some of G-Dragon's recent Instagram photos here.

TAP's Elements Multiple Career Paths Ongoing Applied Professional Growth Instructionally Focused Accountability Performance-Based Compensation Bibliography TAP Outcomes Legislation Understanding Value-Added Teacher Quality Resources The Working Group on Teacher Quality
Research Supporting TAP's Elements@if>
TAP was developed based upon scientific research as well as best practices from the fields of education, business and management. The TAP Elements of Success stem from research findings about effective practices in attracting, developing, motivating and retaining the highest quality teachers to the profession, and particularly to high-need schools. The core aspects of TAP are also consistent with best practices in business and industry to develop and motivate employees. These elements are:
- Multiple career paths
- Ongoing applied professional growth
- Instructionally focused accountability
- Performance-based compensation
- Bibliography
The research cited in this section was the basis of TAP. However, during the past decade, additional work has been conducted that continues to support the four elements of the TAP system.
Lynn Kuykendall, Master Teacher, Clinton Elementary School, Clinton, South Carolina
"We do the initial legwork and field testing so we know the strategies can work with our students, and then we share the positive results with classroom teachers. But then we don't just leave them in the lurch. We go in and support them through the follow-up piece as they implement the new strategies."

78% of Florida voters favour more development of US oil and natural gas resources, and similar numbers believe more oil and natural gas development would provide major benefits to the nation, including more US jobs, according to a new poll released on 31st January.
'Voters in Florida know developing more of America's homegrown energy makes sense for jobs, government revenues and our energy security,' said API President and CEO Jack Gerard.' Our economy will demand large amounts of oil and natural gas for at least several more decades even as the role of alternative energy increases. Common sense says we should have Americans producing that oil and gas here at homes as much as possible.'
The telephone poll of 600 likely Florida voters found that large majorities believe that more US oil and natural gas development could lead to more American jobs (91%), increase the nation's energy security (85%), help reduce consumer energy costs (80%), and deliver more revenue to the government (73%). 72% believe that some in Washington are intentionally delaying domestic oil and natural gas development, potentially hurting the economy and leading to higher energy costs for consumers.

To mark IDC Herzliya's 20th anniversary, we spent a day following Prof. Uriel Reichman, IDC's founder and president, and Jonathan Davis, VP for External Relations, around its delightful campus.
Caught between the larger Sunni-Shi'a battles for supremacy in Syria, Christians are forced to contemplate an uncertain future as Western powers debate action against the government of Bashar al-Assad.
Many Christians support Assad out of fear that if he is overthrown and replaced by Islamists they will face greater persecution, especially from al Qaeda-linked Sunni Muslim rebel groups such as Jabhat al-Nusra, who have attacked Christians.
Christian villagers in Wadi al-Nassara in western Syria, home to about 50,000 Christians, have formed popular defense committees with the blessing of the Syrian government.
These militias are armed and trained by the Syrian government to supplement the Syrian army and protect their own neighborhoods or villages from attacks by rebels. Many of these militias are comprised of Syrian minority groups such as Christians, Druze and Alawites.
While Assad may have links to Iran and Hizbullah, his secular government, led by the minority Alawites, has proved to be friendlier toward Christians than other regional elements, compounding the uncertainty surrounding Syrian Christians' future.
In April, two Syrian bishops, Yohanna Ibrahim and Boulos Yaziji, were kidnapped at gunpoint at a rebel checkpoint near Aleppo. Their whereabouts are still unknown.
In early July, a video posted on LiveLeak.com apparently showed Syrian Catholic priest Father Francois Murad being beheaded by the al Qaeda-linked Syrian rebels, Jabhat al-Nusra, in front of a cheering crowd. While there are conflicting reports over whether Murad was the person depicted in the video, the Vatican has confirmed that Murad and two others were taken from a monastery in northern Syria and killed.
In late July, an al-Qaeda linked group abducted Italian Jesuit Priest Paolo Dall'Oglio, who has worked for years to restore Deir Mar Musa, an ancient Christian monastery located 80 kilometers north of Damascus, and make it a modern center for Muslim-Christian interfaith dialogue.
Christians comprise between five and ten percent of Syria's estimated 22 million people, down from more than 20 percent a century ago.

Bordering Israel, Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, Jordan is sometimes overlooked by the media and policy experts because of its peace treaty with Israel, its alliance with the United States, and its relatively liberal socio-economic system.

Credit Where Credit Is Due: Feinstein Questions ESPN's Sourcing On Collins/NU Story
Published March 29, 2013
DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME: In Columbia, Josh Kendall reported Univ. of South Carolina football coach Steve Spurrier was upset that Southern Cal's pro day "was being broadcast live by ESPN" instead of his team's pro day. Spurrier said, "I noticed both USCs had their pro timing day today. One of them finished No. 7 in the county last year, the other was not in the Top 25, yet ESPN decided to go out to the one in California ... and televise their pro timing day live. It's interesting that (ESPN doesn't) come around here on signing day, they don't come around here on pro timing day, and yet they want us to play all these Thursday night games for them, which we do." He added, "Maybe we need to consider playing on that new network, what is it? FoxSports Live?" (GOGAMECOCKS.com, 3/27).
SPRING INTO SHAPE: In Orlando, Matt Murschel noted ESPN's family of networks "will carry coverage of 13 college football spring games." Longhorn Network will air Texas' Orange & White game Saturday night, while ESPN will air Texas A&M's Maroon & White game on April 13 and ESPN2 will carry Alabama's A-Day game on April 20. ESPN3 "will air 10 games from the ACC and SEC" (ORLANDOSENTINEL.com, 3/28).

Near the airport
There was no one on reception and was extremely hard to communicate because no one speaks english.
Close to the airport, good place for a short stay before you board to go to some island.
very near to Air Port, very frindly family staff, very near the calm temple, available early check in
Great location, close to the beach, supermarket, and airport. Very friendly. Had a great time. Recommended.
Perfect for the airport
Nice, clean accommodation! Perfect for staying if you are flying in or out of Phuket. We walked the 1.7km to the hotel no problem after landing
Only 20 minutes from airport. You don´t need taxi. Also close to very nice beach where were only few people.
Good location (close to the airport)
The family atmosphere Local restaurants around
Cosy and clean. The owners are very nice and helpful. 5 min to the AirPort and really nice beach not far away.
We only stayed briefly on the way to the airport. It served the purpose well. The owner was very nice.
Perfectly fine for the price. Basically the American equivalent of a Motel 6. No frills, close to airport. The owner lives just across the street in case you arrive and nobody is in the office. I was going out to grab food and she offered to give me a ride to the Thai market with her, which was very nice. I declined and ate at the hotel just to the right and across the road. Bed was okay, not super hard like most here.
Wifi intermittent. Not close to restaurants so be prepared to walk. A few bugs but nothing crazy or uncomfortable.
Close to Phuket airport, excellent markets nearby, helpful staff
Is the perfect place if you need to be near to the pukhet airport... 10m walking. My flight was at 6.00 am so I stay there 1 night.
You only have the airport near...
Close to airport. Clean room, hot shower, fan and air con. Complimentry breakfast. Short walk to beach.
Great location, good staff, very close to the airport and a wonderful beach.
Close to the airport, nice staff, nice room
The beds were a bit too hard, no restaurants nearby
1. Very very good 2. 1.5km from hotel to airport. It is about 15mins to the airport by walk 2. I will book this hotel if I go to Naiyang beach next time
It is far from hotel to the Naiyang beach. But the boss lend a bicycle to us by free. It only takes about 10 mins to the beach.
Near the airport (20 minutes to walk), nice lady in reception.
Some loud noise coming outside from bathroom window - it was so loud that we couldn´t sleep. Closing the bathroom door didn´t help. Taxi to airport was too expensive (200 baht for 5-min drive), we prefered to walk.
2 Nights at this cosy place.. Very friendly and helpful staff Only 1,5 km. kilometer from the airport Nice and compfy room with reasonable WiFi-access - If not in the room, just sit outside on the terrace and you will "catch" it
A bit far from everything (except the Airport) - 20 minutes walk to the fantastic Naiyang Beach
- Near airport - Price - Clean
.very handy for Phuket airport. Short walk to Naiyang beach, the best beach on The island if you want to escape from the resorts. Local village has numerous stalls a mini-mart, motorbike rental and a few restaurants
200 Bt for 1.5 km to the airport is a bit steep
the cottage is walking distance to some lovely restaurants and a nice beach. We stayed there for it's proximity to the airport.
There is a bit of confusion with the names of these places as the beach is Naiyang and we ended up needing a second taxi transfer from the first hotel we were dropped at which had a name which was" same same but differnent".Cost an extra taxi fare we could have done without at the end of our stay
Is near the airport, enough clean and not expensive
Near the road, ok if just for sleep

Orvedahl trying to take firm to new heights
Focus on Construction & Design
Send this to a friend
- Kaellen Hessel
Twenty years ago, Todd Orvedahl took a summer job working on roofs and washing trucks for FJA Christiansen Roofing Co. Inc. Working hundreds of feet in the air in all kinds of weather, he never imagined he would one day run the business.
But what started as a simple summer job has become so much more as he was promoted to top position of the Milwaukee firm at the end of 2010.
"I didn't mind the hard work and it paid better than flipping burgers at a local fast food joint," Orvedahl said of his humble beginnings.
Orvedahl continued working for Christiansen Roofing during his senior year at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee as a sales intern before being offered a full-time position after he graduated in 1994.
Since then, he's worked his way through sales, estimating and project management. Orvedahl said sales was a natural fit because he has both the technical experience and people skills.
The 39-year-old Orvedahl quickly realized he wanted to eventually retire from Christiansen Roofing.
The firm, which has 120 employees, has been involved in many of the major construction projects around southeastern Wisconsin, such as Milwaukee City Hall's copper replication and replacement work and Marquette University's new law school building.
"I look at the Milwaukee skyline and there aren't many buildings I haven't been on," Orvedahl said. "My wife thinks I'm crazy because I only look at roofs."
Understanding both the technical and business aspect of the company allows Orvedahl to be a good leader.
"I've done every job there at that company," he said. "I've walked in their shoes so I can relate to the employees."

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day marked in Israel

(photo credit:REUTERS)
A voluntary organization working out of Yad Sarah chapters around the country intervenes to curb elderly abuse and give legal advice, but the 850 people served so far is just a drop in the bucket, given the prevalence of the problem.Although the elderly constitute about 10 percent – and growing portion – of the population, they are usually powerless or too fearful to defend themselves and demand their rights.The volunteer group, which marked the second World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on Sunday, is Yad Riva (www.yadriva.org.il). The non-profit organization, headed by lawyer Mickey Schindler, was founded in 1984 to provide free legal assistance and support to elderly who suffer from abuse and exploitation, often from family members and caregivers.According to a survey, elder abuse afflicts nearly one-fifth of seniors. That includes physical or sexual violence, verbal abuse, limitations on freedom, and financial exploitation, all of which damage the quality of life of the senior citizen and cause suffering.Yad Riva receives financial support from the United Jewish Federation of New York, Eshel, municipalities, and other institutions.Yad Sarah, which gives space in its branches to the organization, noted that close family members and others may extort, neglect, abuse the elderly, and force them to give money or possessions in exchange for care.Yad Riva has volunteer lawyers and others to defend the elderly in court and restore their rights and property.The elderly are usually reluctant to file complaints against their children or other family members, because they love them or fear retribution, said Schindler.Yad Riva, which has some 100 volunteers, mostly lawyers, and a small staff, has sent them to give some 150 free lectures to seniors in the past year. A total of 10,000 elderly and professionals attended. The volunteers also make home visits.

Computer virus stifled Marussia
Marussia Team Principal John Booth has confirmed that the Banbury team struggled with a computer virus during last week's pre-season test in Bahrain.
