As UN officials tried to unravel the
situation in quake-ravaged Pakistan they said was worse than the
horror in Indonesia following the tsunami, NATO delegates were to
meet Friday to decide how they will respond. They were reportedly
going to consider urgent pleas for a massive airlift of food and
equipment into the worst-hit areas of the Muslim country.
"You must rest assured that NATO fully realizes the gravity of
the situation and … NATO will act accordingly," NATO
Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said, quoted by
NATO delegates in Brussels were spurred by hand-wringing UN aid
officials like Emergency Relief Coordinator Jan Egeland, who told a
Geneva news conference Thursday, "The emergency in Kashmir is
becoming worse by the day as the extent... dawns on us. The world
is not responding as we should be," Egeland told a news conference
in Geneva. We have never had this kind of logistical nightmare
ever. We thought the tsunami was bad, this is worse."
Already acting on its own, the
Pentagon responded to an urgent call for light helicopters by the
government of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf. At least 40 US
helicopters are on the ground in Pakistan now.
"We need a second Berlin airbridge," Egeland said of the
legendary airlift into West Berlin at the dawn of the Cold War. "We
are humanitarians, we don't know how to evacuate hundreds of
thousands of people in the Himalayas. But the most efficient
military alliance in the world should be able to."

Jake is working on a science project, the only means of learning on DS9, about plants and what kinds of water yield the best results. Sisko asks him if he could do any project at all, Jake gives him an honest answer (after learning that flying a runabout is not a science project): visit the Gamma Quadrant. With the need to do actual science being a planetary survey, it will be a working vacation for them. However, just as Sisko is delegating his station duties, Jake says that Nog will be coming along as he needs to get a good grade as well. Meanwhile, Quark learns that the senior staff has rejected his proposal for advertising, as he's only a greedy merchant and advertising clearly won't improve the station economy. So, he invites himself along on the trip.The group arrives at an uninhabited planet, which Quark mentions he wants to start exploiting for resources. They do some farting about and there's whacky antics with Quark, causing Nog to run off and Jake to go after him. Just as it looks like Sisko is going to beat the crap out of Quark for being an annoyance, a woman stumbles out of the forest. She says she's running from the Jem'Hadar, who then appear out of thin air and take the three captive. The kids return to find their guardians gone, and decide to follow the footprints. In a cave, the woman introduces herself as Eris, who fills them in on the Jem'Hadar: they're the feared soldiers of the Dominion. Her homeworld was offered membership, but when they refused, the Dominion sent in the Jem'Hadar which quickly conquered them. Despite this, Sisko begins working on an escape plan. Eris has psionic powers, but they are being suppressed with a collar she's wearing.Jake and Nog find the cave, being guarded by tall reptilians. One of the Jem'Hadar finally comes speak with Sisko and is blunt: the Dominion will not tolerate Starfleet boldly going through their territory. The kids meanwhile beam up to the runabout to try and get help, but unfortunately they don't know how to disengage the autopilot or the access code to set a new course. A ship leave the planet and arrives at DS9. The Jem'Hadar inform the senior staff that Sisko is being detained for questioning, and delivers a list of ships that have been destroyed for violating Dominion space...on a padd from a Bajoran colony in the Gamma Quadrant. Shortly afterwards, the USS Odyssey arrives, a Galaxy-class starship captained by an older, white-haired, balding captain, and they begin planning a rescue mission.Arriving in the Gamma Quadrant, they find the runabout with Jake and Nog, and O'Brien beams over to help fix the shuttle. Meanwhile, Quark removes Eris' collar and they make their escape. In space, three Jem'Hadar attack fighters engage the Odyssey and the DS9 runabouts. The Dominion's weapons effortlessly pass through the Starfleet shields and the Odyssey is quickly disabled. Sisko, Quark, and Eris are rescued, but while they make a run for it, one of the fighters slams into the Odyssey, destroying it. Back in the Alpha Quadrant, Quark realizes that Eris' collar has nothing in it. They try to apprehend her, but she beams away, telling them that they have no idea what's begun...

Deroy Murdock: Obama lives large while Americans struggle to get by
Amid the alleged horrors of the sequester, truly shared sacrifice is the last thing on Obama's mind. The American people are enduring 0.4 percent GDP growth and 7.7 percent unemployment. A record 48 million citizens are on food stamps. Meanwhile, those in America's royal palace are enduring tropical beaches, country clubs and ski resorts.
As Joseph Curl recalled in Sunday's Washington Times, the Obamas rang in 2013 in a 6,000-square-foot, $8 million estate in Oahu's Paradise Point. That's when Obama played his 100th presidential golf round, one of five during the First Family's 17-day Hawaiian getaway.
The First Lady and her daughters skied Aspen, Colo., in February. Some like it hot. So, Obama rode Air Force One to Palm City, Fla., where he swung his clubs with Earth's now-No. 1 golfer, Tiger Woods.
Not to be outdone, Clown Prince Biden greeted 2013 in the Virgin Islands. He slid down the slopes of Snowmass, Colo., in February. That month, Biden visited Europe. He and his entourage invested $459,338.65 in tax money for 136 rooms tied to Biden's one-evening sleepover in London. Biden stopped overnight in Paris. Rather than rely on, say, the U.S. Embassy's car fleet, Team Biden spent $321,665 for limousine rentals. This reportedly was just for Biden's party; Biden himself appropriately used his secure official vehicle, which was flown with him.
Meanwhile, Uncle Joe could have stayed, essentially for free, at the magnificent, 60,000-square-foot American ambassador's residence. Instead, Team Biden bunked at the Hotel Intercontinental. That one night cost U.S. taxpayers $585,000.50.
Late March found the Obama daughters on spring break in the Bahamas. They enjoyed the Atlantis resort, which boasts three breeze-caressed beaches, 11 swimming pools, and a 141-acre water park.
After their fun in the sun, Malia and Sasha frolicked in the snow. "The Sun Valley Ski Patrol confirms the girls were enjoying the wonders of the mountain," Idaho's KMVT-TV revealed.
Easter found Biden on South Carolina's posh Kiawah Island for five days. Located 15 miles from Charleston, Kiawah's lush golf facilities are world-famous. These include the Ocean Course. Greens fees: $353.
Obama whipped out his putter on Easter Eve. He and some pals played Andrews Air Force Base's course. This was Obama's first golf round since the sequester, his sixth in 2013's first quarter, and his 115th as President.
No one begrudges Obama, Biden, and their families some relaxation from the pressures of their duties. And who can blame the Obama daughters for wanting to cavort with their school mates?
However, as Americans struggle by the millions, such self-indulgence is like devouring a double cheeseburger, fries, and a milkshake right in front of someone who is fasting on Yom Kippur. This soon grows unnecessary, unseemly, and uncaring. And expensive, as Secret Service agents, advance personnel, motorcades, helicopters, and jumbo jets facilitate such extravagance.
Obama literally endangers the American public by padlocking airport control towers and releasing criminal illegal aliens from federal custody, so that this country's citizens squeal beneath the sequester. Instead, Obama should set an example and save taxpayers millions by tempering his and Biden's monarchic lifestyles.
This gluttony would be easier to tolerate if Obama did his job. Instead, in violation of federal law, Obama's budget is now two months overdue. The Budget and Accounting Act of 1921 requires that the President's spending plan reach Congress by the first Monday in February. What on Earth have some 500 Office of Management and Budget employees done since Feb. 4? If Obama won't busy his OMB staffers with budgeting, they should conduct White House tours. Instead, troupes of Girls Scouts touring Washington are barred from the Executive Mansion. Message: Let them eat cookies.
Obama now reigns over Versailles on the Potomac. And America's taxpayers are the vassals who bankroll the opulence of King Louis-Barack and Michelle Antoinette.

'Tis the season for cold weather allergy and asthma triggers
Seasonal allergy sufferers may be breathing a collective sigh of relief now that the leaves have fallen and autumn is on its way out, but there are still a few things to keep allergists in business throughout the winter.
Dr. Lee Perry of Chattanooga Allergy Clinic helps patients overcome seasonal allergies.
"We're seeing a resurgence of asthma symptoms with the cold weather, in addition to cold-weather allergens," said Dr. Lee Perry, allergist at Chattanooga Allergy Clinic. "There lots of different viral illnesses going around that can cause a surge in asthma symptoms."
For asthmatics, the colder, drier air can be an unwelcome trigger for symptoms. When you inhale cold air, it dries your airway, and rewarming it can cause some people to have spasms in the airway, Perry explained.
Cold air can also make things worse for those who suffer from exercise-induced asthma, he added.
"In these cases there are medications that can be used prior to exercise," said Perry. "Some people also need albuterol inhalers, and they're used 15-20 minutes before exercise."
The viruses swirling around during flu season can also be problematic for asthmatics.
"There are certain viruses that are attracted to the airway, like the rhinovirus — it's the most common cause of the common cold," Perry said. "The average person who gets it will probably experience coughing, runny nose, maybe even fever. But somebody with asthma already has a baseline level of inflammation in their airway and lungs, so they have a greater potential to overreact to that virus in such a way that it causes worse respiratory symptoms in them, like wheezing and shortness of breath."
The severity of the reaction to viruses often depends on how well a person has been managing his or her asthma.
"Depending on the level of control a person has over their asthma, often, getting a virus like that doesn't affect them anymore than someone without asthma," said Perry. "But if their asthma isn't under control, like if they're not taking their medication regularly, it can be much worse. I've seen several patients just over the past few weeks ho have been admitted to the hospital, or even the ICU."
So what's an asthmatic to do? If the case is severe enough, an allergist can prescribe a daily maintenance medication that should be used every day — both good and bad, Perry said.
"We also prescribe rescue inhalers that are only to be used in response to symptoms," he added. "In the winter, when cold air is a trigger, they may have to use it more often. And you can't prevent every common cold, but everyone needs to be practicing regular hand washing because that's the most common way viruses are spread."
Let's say you're not asthmatic, but you suffer from allergies. If you're still experiencing regular symptoms throughout the winter, like sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes or coughing, keep in mind that not every allergen is seasonal. Pollen counts flare in the spring and fall, but triggers like pets and house dust mites can provoke year-round allergy agony.
"Most allergy triggers are seasonal, and in Chattanooga it's worse in the spring and fall; but house dust mites are perennial, as are pet allergens," said Perry. "Most people don't realize it and don't realize their cats and dogs are contributing to their symptoms. Just because it's winter and the leaves are gone doesn't mean you won't be affected. If you get worse in the winter, it's probably one of those."
Patients who discover they are allergic to their pet can treat their symptoms with medication under the guidance of their doctor, but those who suffer from dust mite allergies can go a step farther, treating their homes as well as their bodies.
"You can buy dust mite protectors for your mattress and pillows that zip up and encase the whole thing, and those are impermeable barriers to dust mites — they can't get out," Perry said. "Everything else on the bed — sheets, mattress pads, blankets, stuffed animals — those are the kinds of things that should be washed in really hot water once a week. But all this won't necessarily get rid of dust mites completely, so that's why it's sometimes necessary to treat the resulting allergy symptoms really well. The only curative treatment for allergies to perennial allergens such as pet(s) and dust mites is allergen immunotherapy, or allergy shots."

text: KANSAS CITY, Mo. — There were a few more offensive positives for the Mariners in this latest loss than they'd seen since prior to last weekend. They finally hit another home run on Tuesday night, then pulled off a hit-and-run to position themselves to overcome a three-run deficit. But the Mariners ultimately fell, 4-3, to the Kansas City Royals largely because of the same things that had plagued them all holiday weekend when they weren't going deep or playing situational baseball.

Selecting furnishings for educational environments can be challenging. It's not uncommon for a school's union lounge to be overflowing with students draped across chairs, couches and floors while a university official tours prospective students, and his or her parents, within same the space.
The furnishings in libraries, offices, conference rooms and other public spaces must meet the needs and aesthetics of students, faculty and visitors, while withstanding excessive use — a tall order for any piece of furniture.
When evaluating furnishings, facility managers should concentrate on four areas:
Durability and ease of maintenance
In some educational environments, durability and maintenance are two of the most important features. Continual wear and tear from students, especially to seating, makes it increasingly important for facility managers to consider the following:
Today, educational settings need products that can withstand several years of repeated use. Of these three areas, the most important is understanding the product's American National Standards Institute/Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer's Association (ANSI/BIFMA) level certification.
This program provides facility managers with peace of mind about a product's quality and ability to perform over several years. For example, it is not uncommon for a seating piece to undergo 100,000 cycles of weight testing to meet the manufacturer's standard for sturdiness and quality of design.
Safe and healthy atmosphere
A second key area of focus is creating a safe and healthy environment, and furnishings can play a large role. In places where furniture is touched daily by hundreds of people, low maintenance and easy cleaning are key requirements. The following features give facility managers the ability to quickly and safely clean furnishings and the surrounding environment effectively:
Quiet and comfortable
It may seem like a given that furnishings for education environments should be quiet and comfortable, but surprisingly it can be a forgotten feature when making evaluations. Furniture that is quiet and comfortable means that seats do not make noise when users sit down or get up, drawers and doors don't squeak or rattle, and users can easily adjust worktops and/or chairs to create a more ergonomic fit. Depending on the requirements of the space, wide arms are gaining popularity in education settings because they offer a convenient space to sit books or laptops.
Interior furnishing selections play a critical role in creating effective-learning environments. Prior to purchase, it is recommended that an organization gauge the comfort and noise level of products by either seeing or experiencing them firsthand.
Green initiatives and budget
Many organizations with new construction or remodeling projects are identifying ways to make buildings more sustainable. To ensure different areas of sustainability are addressed during construction, the most common standard to follow is the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).
The USGBC recently introduced LEED Pilot Credit 43 – Certified Products, which validates the use of third-party products that include transparent documentation about the materials, ingredients, sustainable attributes and life cycle. The credit aims to help facilities increase the use of products that incorporate a holistic approach to sustainability through materials, economic impact and corporate social responsibility. For furniture, some of the most recognized organizations evaluating products' sustainability include Scientific Certification Systems (SCS), Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) and ANSI/BIFMA. A complete list of approved certifications and labels is available on the USGBC website, in the LEED Pilot Credit Library, www.usgbc.org.
Because manufacturers use different certification systems it can become confusing to review product attributes using an apples-to-apples comparison. To make it easier, www.ecoScorecard.com brings together all the necessary data and provides the documentation designers and facility managers need to verify if a product meets LEED guidelines.
Through careful analyzing and specifying of products, facility managers increase the likelihood of the final products meeting all facility needs and budget goals. Educational environments must cater to a variety of audiences and by examining products from different perspectives, chances are greater that the solution will meet and exceed all expectations.

With the word cautious no longer necessary, the economic outlook took a backseat this year to the seemingly unending parade of new lifestyle brands.

I showed my cousin a small portion of one of the finale, first time watching it myself. Never got past ten minutes before she had to leave, so I closed it to play some games. Go to her house, she's already watched a full season while I never finished an episode. Don't dislike it though. Pretty decent compared to alot of shows nowadays.

NSFW Video: Handsome Furs: "What About Us"
By Larry Fitzmaurice on July 7, 2011 at 4:00 p.m. EDT
The album cover for Wolf Parade offshoot Handsome Furs' latest album, Sound Kapital, is pretty NSFW-- so it makes sense that the video for HF single "What About Us" isn't exactly cubicle-friendly, either. Stereogum has the clip, which was directed by actor (Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire) Scott Coffey, who also directed Wolf Parade's "Yulia" video. It's a dark one (literally), with dual-gender nudity, strange car rides, hotel room trysts, and straight-up fucking in the great outdoors. Check it out below.

Handsome Furs Share NSFW LP Cover, New Song
By Larry Fitzmaurice on May 20, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. EDT
So...yeah. That's the cover of Handsome Furs' new album, Sound Kapital (out June 28 via Sub Pop). Suddenly, all those promo shots that Wolf Parade co-leaders Dan Boeckner (of Wolf Parade) and his wife Alexei Perry have done in the past seem awfully tame, innit? (BTW, that is not Perry in the above pic, in case you were wondering. Pervs.)

ANCHORAGE — A public memorial was held in Anchorage for late Athabascan elder Katie John, known for her long legal fight for subsistence rights for Alaska Natives.
John died May 31 at age 97.
Yvonne Echohawk led the Wednesday service at the Anchorage Baptist Church. Echohawk, a pastor and an adopted daughter of John, said her mother never bowed to bitterness in her fight for Native rights, KSKA (http://is.gd/RXntUu) reported.
ANCHORAGE — Alaska Attorney General Michael Geraghty acknowledged Thursday that prosecutors, corrections officials and a sentencing judge made a mistake in assessing the criminal history of murder suspect Jerry Andrew Active before he was sentenced in a 2009 felony case.
JUNEAU — The U.S. Justice Department is expected to appeal a judge's ruling that overturned the suspensions of two federal prosecutors over their conduct in Sen. Ted Stevens' corruption trial.
Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday he did not agree with the judge's decision and expected the Justice Department would appeal it to the Merit Systems Protection Board.
Holder's comments were in response to questions from U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, during a subcommittee hearing in Washington, D.C.
Gov. Sean Parnell went before the Juneau World Affairs Council Thursday where he used his recent trip overseas as anecdotal support in signing an overhaul of Alaska's oil tax structure last month.
Between Alaska, Scotland and Norway, the industries had similar structures.
"Like Alaska, the North Sea is a harsh, unforgiving environment. It's an off-shore industry with platforms, supply ships, helicopters, sub-sea pipelines," Parnell said. "They, like us, have relatively mature fields."
ANCHORAGE — Five passengers who survived a fatal plane crash in Alaska are members of a Pennsylvania family who were on a cruise line expedition for alumni of Duke University, an alumni association spokesman said Thursday.
They are the Rev. Frank Allen, 54, rector of St. David's Episcopal Church in Wayne, Pa.; his wife Amy, 54; and their sons: Will, 24; Rob, 21; and Ben, 19.
Ben Allen is a student at Duke, in Durham, N.C., and the other family members are alumni, according to Michael Penn, a spokesman for the Duke Alumni Association.
KENAI — A dead moose salvage program faces closure by this fall after its funding request was denied by the Alaska Legislature.
The Alaska Moose Federation is trying to solicit private donations after lawmakers didn't fund its request for $2.2 million, the Peninsula Clarion reported.
FAIRBANKS — Alaska Airlines plans to replace most of the jets it flies between Fairbanks and Anchorage with three turboprop planes, freeing up the jets to be used for new routes between Anchorage and the Lower 48.
Three Bombardier Q400 planes will mostly replace the Boeing 737 jets that now fly between Alaska's two biggest cities, beginning next March, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported. Q400s also will replace the 737 that flies to Kodiak from Anchorage twice daily from October through April.
ANCHORAGE — A foreign cargo ship has been ordered by the Coast Guard to remain in Valdez until it deals with containers leaking oil onto the vessel.
The Anchorage Daily News reports the Coast Guard also wants to determine the chemical composition of oil leaked onto the BBC Arizona.
Coast Guard Lt. Allie Ferko said Tuesday the containers are carrying transformer oil, a highly refined mineral oil, used for cooling and insulating transformers.
ANCHORAGE — An Army Corps of Engineers permit granting ConocoPhillips permission to build a bridge across the Colville River to reach oil leases within the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska was challenged in federal court Wednesday by an environmental group.
The Center for Biological Diversity claims the Corps conducted inadequate environmental review and did not consider the effects on endangered species before granting the permit in December 2011.
