Aldon Smith
Aldon Smith Vows To Stay Out Of Trouble For 49ers
Part of the process for the San Francisco 49ers' All-Pro linebacker to rejoin the team following a five-week stint in rehab included a verbal commitment to the NFL that he would stay out of trouble and keep clean.
Aldon Smith Reactivated, His Return Imminent
When Aldon Smith left the team to enter a substance abuse program in September, there was no real timeline as to when he would return. The team had to assume the worst and prepare for a season without their star pass rusher, however things have changed. It now looks like Smith will not only be back this season, but could play as soon as next week, which is in the best interest of the team and player.
49ers Activate Troubled Linebacker Aldon Smith
All-Pro 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith has been activated to the roster from the non-football injury list, two days after he turned himself in to Santa Clara County authorities as he faces weapons charges.
49ers' Aldon Smith Posts Bail On Gun Charges After Rehab Stint
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith was released on bail Tuesday in San Jose on three felony gun charges after turning himself in to the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office, a sheriff's office spokesman said.
Daily Madden: No Easy Division Games For 49ers
Both the 49ers and Arizona Cardinals enter their game at Candlestick Sunday with 3-2 records.
49er Aldon Smith Charged With Felony Weapons Possession
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith has been charged with three felony counts of illegal possession of an assault weapon, stemming from a party at his home in June 2012.
Schedule, Improving Health Of 49ers Point To Strong Finish This Season
When the San Francisco 49ers lost two games in a row this season, falling to 1-2, some called them the most disappointing team in the NFL. After winning a couple of games and having injured players return to the roster, the 49ers are now primed to remind the rest of the NFL why they were so many people's preseason Super Bowl pick.
Niners Still Paying Aldon Smith's Salary In Rehab
The San Francisco 49ers are paying Aldon Smith his normal salary even though the Pro Bowl pass rusher has left the team to begin his in-patient rehab following a second DUI arrest.
Analysis: Crucial Time For 49ers To Rediscover Magic
One-fourth of the season will be over by the time the 49ers walk off the field in St. Louis, and if they do it as a 1-3 team, they will have dug themselves a hole that will be awfully hard to climb out from.
Biggest Issue For 49ers Is Not Lackluster Offense, It's Defense
With the 49ers sputtering out to a 1-2 start in 2013, everyone is trying to figure out what is wrong with the team many had picked to be the NFC representative in the Super bowl. While most theories are around the offense that has failed to put up points, the real concern is a 49ers defense that is running out of bodies.

TomVH: Malcolm Crockett Visiting This Weekend
Washington DC running back Malcolm Crockett (5'11", 180 lbs, 3 star) is currently committed to Cincinnati, but that isn't stopping him from visiting Michigan this weekend. He'll be taking an official visit to take a closer look at what Michigan has to offer.
Malcolm's coach, Aazaar Abdul-Rahim said, "Michigan hasn't stopped recruiting him. He's never really been to any schools, so he's going to take some visits and see what happens. Michigan was his first offer ever, so he likes them still."
Tony Dews is recruiting Crockett, and doing a great job as usual. "Tony (Dews) has been recruiting him for awhile now, and he's done a really nice job. They're recruiting Malcolm as a running back, he's more of a downhill runner that will break tackles than the elusive guy," said Abdul-Rahim. "Our offense is more of a pro-style this year, but we ran mostly spread last year, so the Michigan coaches saw how he could fit into their system from last year's film."
Part of Crockett's appeal may be his versatility, as he also plays defensive back for Friendship Collegiate Academy.
A side note to Crockett's recruitment is that Michigan has also offered his 2012 defensive line teammate, Eddie Goldman. The 6-foot-4, 307-pound defender is being recruited by everyone, and has already racked up around 36 offers.
Moving Picture Pages: This Is Not A Stack
This Moving Picture Pages (original PP is here) looks at one piece of evidence that Michigan does not run a true 3-3-5 stack: the placement of the MLB. Kenny Demens is positioned several yards closer to the LOS than the MLB is in the West Virginia implementation of the 3-3-5 stack. Brian compares the play below to a play in the 2007 WVU-Rutgers game, where the MLB is positioned six yards back of the LOS. I don't have video of that game, and I'm kind of relieved about that, because I'd be tempted to try a side-by-side mashup of both plays together, and frankly my video editing skills aren't anywhere near good enough to pull that off.
Analysis and text courtesy of MGoBlog.
Wha'happon: It's the sixth play of PSU's first drive of the night. Michigan walks up Kovacs late to put seven in the box, which is a good thing, because he trips up Royster on the counter play. That slows him down enough that Demens and others could hold the gain down to four yards, when otherwise Royster might have broken it.
Brian adds a lot of analysis after the still shots, so be sure you go read the book after you see the movie, so to speak (oh, who am I kidding? You've all already read the book).
Original Focus of NCAA Investigation
Doug Karsch on 97.1 who is close to the UM Athletic Dept. said on air that when the NCAA originally came in to look at the football program, they weren't first looking at practice-gate issues, but instead they were questioning recruiting and recruiting practices. Obviously there was no smoke or fire there, but is that the norm for the NCAA? To go in and look at a possible worst case scenario as well as the original intent?
Karsch made it sound like the NCAA was looking there because of RR's history. Not sure what that even means.
Michigan Daily Article on Denard
Very well written article on Denard's hometown, and his high school days. It really shows how hard of a worker he is and how much he wants to get better and succeed and be the best. Just continues to show how lucky we are having a guy like Shoelace run our offense.

Experienced MGoBloggers Comments
Not sure this is possible, but I would think it would be interesting to have a discuss limitied to the most experienced MGoBloggers (those with >10,000 points???) about what their thoughts wrt the direction the program ought to head -- stay the course, fire GERG, nuke the entire D staff...
Keeping it to the most experience MGoBloggers would eliminate the pictures of people lighting farts and the snarky comments. Most of them have probably expressed such an opinion, but this would consolidate their thoughts at one spot.
EDIT: The original idea was to try and use MGoPoints as a proxy for Block M's suggestion for a discussion for which the participants had to pass some sort of football knowledge competency test first. Based on the response, I now recognize the error of my way. MGoPoints and football knowledge are not necessarily correlated. My apologies to any I have offended -- I let my MGoDreams cloud my MGoJudgment.

The security company Blackwater Worldwide formed a network of 30 shell companies and subsidiaries to try to get millions of dollars in government business after the company faced strong criticism for reckless conduct in Iraq, The New York Times reported.
The newspaper said Friday that it was unclear how many of the created companies got American contracts but that at least three of them obtained work with the U.S. military and the CIA.
Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has asked the Justice Department to see whether Blackwater misled the government when using the subsidiaries to gain government contracts, according to the Times.
It said Levin's committee found that North Carolina-based Blackwater, which now is known as Xe Services, went to great lengths to find ways to get lucrative government work despite criminal charges and criticism stemming from a 2007 incident in which Blackwater guards killed 17 Iraqi civilians. A committee chart outlines the web of Blackwater subsidiaries.
Messages left late Friday with spokespeople for the Michigan Democrat and Xe were not immediately answered.
The 2007 incident and other reports of abuses by Blackwater employees in Iraq led to criminal investigations and congressional hearings, and resulted in the company losing a lucrative contract with the State Department to provide security in Iraq.
But recently the company was awarded a $100 million contract to provide security for the agency in Afghanistan, prompting criticism from some in Congress. CIA Director Leon Panetta said that the CIA had no choice but to hire the company because it underbid others by $26 million and that a CIA review concluded that the contractor had cleaned up its act.
Last year, Panetta canceled a contract with Xe that allowed the company's operatives to load missiles on Predator drones in Pakistan, and shifted the work to government personnel.
However, the Times quoted former Blackwater officials as saying that at least two Blackwater-affiliated companies, XPG and Greystone, obtained secret contracts from the CIA to provide security to agency operatives.
The newspaper said the network of subsidiaries, including several located in offshore tax havens, were uncovered as part of the Armed Services Committee's examination of government contracting and not an investigation solely into Blackwater. But Levin questioned why Blackwater would need to create so many companies with various names to seek out government business, according to the Times.
The report quoted unidentified government officials and former Blackwater employees as saying that the network of companies allowed Blackwater to obscure its involvement in government work from contracting officials and the public, and to ensure a low profile for its classified activities.

A Long Island municipal union is riled over a measure that gives Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano authority to make more than $40 million in budget cuts without legislative approval.
Newsday says the Civil Service Employees Association plans to go to court.
It wants to block Mangano from enacting employee furloughs or changing any provisions of the union's contract.[dmc-related-post-wp numitems="3" title="Also read"]
The union president says the measure approved by county legislators doesn't allow for the usual government "checks and balances."
The union represents some 6,000 Nassau County employees.
Mangano issued a statement saying he welcomed Monday's vote.

Viator VIP: Exclusive Access to Tower of London and St Paul's Cathedral with Lunch

Viator VIP: Exclusive Access to Tower of London and St Paul's Cathedral with Lunch information and booking
Tour description provided by Viator
Get an insider look at the Tower of London and St Paul's Cathedral on this incredible Viator VIP tour! With exclusive preopening access to the Tower of London, your tour includes the tower's historic opening ceremony and a look at the Crown Jewels with a Beefeater guard. Explore the normally inaccessible Triforium at St Paul's Cathedral, alongside other highlights such as the Whispering Gallery and the Crypt. Stop for a 2-course lunch at The Restaurant at St Paul's Cathedral.
Your Viator VIP London tour starts at the Tower of London, which you'll enter before the public opening. Meet your guide as well as one of the tower's Beefeater guards who will personally show you around. The formidable 11th-century tower was built to act as a fortress, palace and prison — terrifying Londoners and foreign invaders alike. Watch the historic opening ceremony, where members of the military escort march around the tower with the Beefeaters to open it for business.
On your tour of the tower, see the Crown Jewels — a dazzling collection of jewels and diamonds that are still used today by the Queen. Stroll along the East Wall Walk for a bird's-eye view of the city streets, explore the White Tower, and see the ravens that have lived here since the reign of King Charles II. The superstitious king believed the tower would fall if the birds left.
Next, walk to nearby St Paul's Cathedral, the much-cherished architectural icon that's home to the Triforium, an area typically closed to the public but open to you! Standout features include the Dean's Staircase (featured in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) and a medieval library. See both, and then marvel at the vertigo-inducing views toward the nave. In addition to the Triforium, visit the Whispering Gallery and Crypt, too. Finally, enjoy a 2-course lunch at The Restaurant at St Paul's Cathedral (located inside the Crypt), and relax amid contemporary décor while dining from a classically British menu. Your experience finishes here.

BOSTON (AP) — A Boston University student was killed and 15 others were injured Sunday in a house fire in the city's Allston neighborhood.
Boston Fire Department spokesman Steve MacDonald said the fire at the 2-1/2- story wood frame house was reported at about 6:30 a.m. Sunday.
BU Today, the university's online publication, reported that two BU students were among nine building residents injured and that six firefighters also suffered injuries.
MacDonald said none of the injuries to firefighters or residents were life-threatening and all firefighters were treated and released. Some of the residents remained hospitalized late Sunday afternoon.
In a letter sent Sunday evening to BU students and staff, university President Robert A. Brown said BU is providing housing and other support to those students who have been dislocated.
"This tragedy comes close on the heels of the Boston Marathon losses, which have so affected our community," he wrote. "We are working to marshal counseling and support resources for all those touched by the fire while continuing to meet the needs of others who have been affected by the Marathon bombings."
Lu Lingzi, a 23-year-old graduate student at Boston University, was one of three people killed during the attack April 15. More than 260 were wounded.
The cause of the fire hasn't been determined and the identity of the victim who died has not been released.

Monday's public premiere of Into The Fire was a resounding success. A packed lecture theatre in the School of Oriental and African Studies watched the film and hear from the film makers Guy Smallman and Kate Mara, Habib Rahman, Chief Exec of JCWI and one of the refugees featured in the film.
Since its online launch just nine days ago, the you tube film has had very nearly 63,000 views, which is a tremendous amount for a 40 minute film on YouTube. But public screenings are invaluable as they get a number of people together to watch the film and afterwards discuss ways they can help affect change, and to address the points brought up by the film.
JCWI is delighted to host Into The Fire on our website. We are co-hosting three public screenings of the film, to which you are warmly invited. Each screening will also have a Q&A with one of the film makers and a guest speaker
In her reckless pursuit of lower immigration to the UK, Theresa May put UK citizens and settled people in a far less privileged position than EU nationals living in the UK. The rule changes Ms May implemented last year also meant that UK citizens living in other EU countries had more rights than if they lived in the UK. But thanks to a certain Mr Singh, they not only have more rights elsewhere in Europe, but they can bring them back to the UK under certain conditions. On the blogs and in the facebook groups of people affected by the family immigration rules, Surinder Singh has become a buzz word.
JCWI are working alongside video activists from Reel News to help gain the widest audience possible for their new film Into The Fire. The film is thoughtfully made and brilliantly put together but makes, in places, for somewhat uncomfortable viewing.
Loathe as we are to add to the reams of comments on David Cameron's speech on Monday and Theresa May's announcement on the end of UKBA, we do have onr or two things to say.
Just a short post. Yvette Cooper, the shadow home secretary made a keynote speech on immigration this morning at the Institute for Public Policy Research.
The full text of the speech is handily available on the New Statesman website, so you may read without anyone else's opinion to decide for yourself where Labour are currently headed on the issue.
JCWI did manage to ask a question, over our primary policy issue family immigration. This is how the question was asked and answered::
The second session of verbal evidence to the APPG inquiry on the family immigration restrictions of July 9 2012 happened on Monday.
Present on the panel were: Sarah Teather (Lib Dem MP), Baroness Hamwee (Lib Dem Peer), Virendra Sharma (Labour MP), Kate Green (Labour MP) and Lord Teveson (Lib Dem Peer). This time the panel of expert witnesses (pictured) submitting evidence were:
One would imagine Daily Express readers would have bored of it by now, but the editor obviously thinks the fear has not been instilled deeply enough, the intolerance enflamed high enough or the xenophobia whipped up adequately. Today (19 February) saw the twentieth article about the coming 'flood' of immigrants from Romania and/or Bulgaria at the beginning of 2014. Given that we're a year away from the restrictions on working and movement being lifted, it promises to be a grim year for Express readers.
Most articles are accompanied by pictures of grubby horse and carts, grubby children or of people walking through grubby streets carrying plastic bags. It's a pretty desperate picture the paper is printing.
On Monday 11 February, I attended the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Migration inquiry into the effects of the family immigration restrictions introduced in July 2012.

Obesity is a huge problem in America and if you are one of the 30 percent of Americans that is overweight, you can start doing something about it today. Being overweight puts strain on our health system which costs everyone money. It is also bad for your joints and heart. You just don't feel as good when you are overweight. Weight loss supplements with ephedra sinica can help you lose that weight safely and quickly.
Ephedra diet pills work in a few ways to help you lose weight. The first thing they do is curb your appetite. This is important because when you diet you often feel hungry all the time. This can make you tired, cranky and feel plain bad.
When you aren't plagued with feelings of hunger, you can do more things and concentrate on other areas of your life. You won't be obsessed with food all day. You can eat reasonable meals and feel full instead of hungry.
Ephedra sinica pills also help your body to metabolize fat better. This means the fat will start to burn off and allow you to lose more weight. When your metabolism is high, you burn more calories and lose more weight. Ephedra keeps your metabolic furnace running at full blast so you lose weight. You will even burn calories when you aren't doing anything.
Most people lose an extra three pounds a month when they start taking the pills. You will also notice that your energy is better and that you feel more alert. At the same time you won't have an appetite, meaning you won't overeat.
If you are serious about losing weight, you will definitely want to try weight loss pills with ephedra sinica but read the reviews here first. You will lose more weight than you could by dieting alone.

Publisher's Description
God gave us emotions to experience life, not destroy it! Lysa TerKeurst admits that she, like most women, has had experiences where others bump into her happy and she comes emotionally unglued. We stuff, we explode, or we react somewhere in between. What do we do with these raw emotions? Is it really possible to make emotions work for us instead of against us? Yes, and in her usual inspiring and practical way, Lysa will show you how. Filled with gut-honest personal examples and biblical teaching, Unglued will equip you to: Know with confidence how to resolve conflict in your important relationships. Find peace in your most difficult relationships as you learn to be honest but kind when offended. Identify what type of reactor you are and how to significantly improve your communication. Respond with no regrets by managing your tendencies to stuff, explode, or react somewhere in between. Gain a deep sense of calm by responding to situations out of your control without acting out of control.
Author Bio

But she's been learning God's lessons and sharing them on her blog (www.LysaTerKeurst.com) and in her books. Lysa is president of Proverbs 31 Ministries and writes from her sticky farm table in North Carolina where she lives with her husband, Art, five kids, three dogs, and mouse that refuses to leave her kitchen.

It helped me learn to have a different perspective on how to deal with stress. Could read this again and probably get something I didn't the first time. helped me to understand I need to quit stuffing and deal with things before they become too much. I felt the book was speaking directly too me.

Lysa you are my new best friend. I saw the title for several months, and laughed because the woman had her head in a purse. I saw the title again and read some inserts_.wow! I thought, this woman is peaking in my window. I kept returning to this title and its inserts, then it hit me_this woman writes like I talk and feel. I bought the book and Lord behold, there I was on almost every single page. And the pages I was not on, well all I can say to those are "been there and done that". At the tender age of 61 I too am STILL working on all these issues, especially the stuffing and the "rock" throwing part. You have put your pen to paper just for me. I also have the audio book which I have now listened to 3 times (it's a 45min drive to work/45min drive home), so you really are my new best friend. Unglued, what a title! To the young ladies, to the mature ladies, to moms, to grand moms if you genuinely want to understand who you really are this is a requirement read book. Just so you know, me and some of my stuffer, over reacting, bump into my happy, emotional, unglued girl friends are going to study this book. Thanks for talking out loud about my (our) Ungluedness.

nomer15Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Excellent and Wise WordsJanuary 11, 2014nomer15Gender: female"Unglued" by Lysa TerKeurst is a phenomenal book that helps women learn to make wise choices when confronted with their own raw emotions. Drawing on her own personal experience and biblical teaching, she shares what she has learned (and is learning) about submitting her emotions to the power of Jesus.
She addresses the fact that our emotions are God-given; our emotions help us to feel, connect, and experience life. But so often, women in particular are vulnerable to allow our emotions to run our lives. One truth that TerKeurst draws out in this book is that "God gave [us] emotions so [we] could experience life, not destroy it" (p. 16). This book is a fantastic manual to help women of all ages and stages experience "imperfect progress", which she defines as "slow steps of progress wrapped in grace" (p. 14).
Of especial importance are the chapters that help the reader define what kind of unglued you are. She explores four different types, two that stuff their emotions and two that explode with emotions, and offers sound biblical truth to help you on your journey of imperfect progress. One of my favorite quotes from the book comes from the chapter entitled "I Need a Procedure Manual": "The human soul is designed to recognize and respond to the calm assurance of Jesus. When I am in an unglued place, I can invite a power beyond my own into the situation by simply speaking His name. I don't have to know what to do. I don't have to have all the answers. I don't have to remember everything I learned in Bible study last week. I just have to remember one thing, one name--Jesus" (p.110-111).
This book was absolutely outstanding. TerKeurst has an easy writing style that makes the material easily accessible. The subject matter is a neglected one that desperately needs to be discussed in the church. She does a wonderful job with balancing her own experiences and stories with what the Bible says about handling emotions. While there are no study questions at the back of the book, there is a companion DVD study which would be helpful for small groups to go through the material. I highly recommend this book!
(I've received this complimentary book through the Book Sneeze program in exchange for a review. A positive review was not required and the views expressed in my review are strictly my own.)

Wolfe compares the system to compounding interest. "As you go further out in time, you save more and more lives. If you compound a chronic pandemic over decades, you begin to see the enormous impact viral forecasting could have."
He adds: "Today, global disease control is in the stone age." Scientists typically respond and react after viruses have already spread. Once a major outbreak starts, stopping it is virtually impossible. Yet no global monitoring system exists to identify and control diseases as they emerge. Wolfe and his team seek to do just that—implement a plan to detect the next HIV, Ebola, SARS or West Nile virus at the very point it will most likely originate.
His survey of diseases that have historically had the greatest impact on humanity revealed that most started with animals. Based on this, he created a global network of field sites in viral hot spots where people are highly exposed to animals and most at risk for early infection when those viruses leap from animals to humans. He works with local villagers and scientists to conduct detailed studies of Cameroon bush meat hunters, Chinese wet-market workers and butchers, wildlife sanctuary employees, Malaysian bat hunters, and others.
"When I started this work in 1999," Wolfe recalls, "we were particularly interested in retroviruses because we knew they had the potential to cause devastating pandemics like HIV. But we didn't have a good idea of the frequency with which they were crossing over from animals to humans. Our results were shocking. We discovered that cross-species transmission wasn't rare; it was happening on a regular basis. What's more, the current mechanisms for detecting it were wholly inadequate."
Wolfe and his colleagues work to spot viruses as soon as they surface by collecting and cataloguing blood samples, surveying wild animals, scanning urban blood banks, and documenting the transfer and distribution of disease. His data, gleaned from a dozen field sites and analyzed by more than 15 laboratories worldwide, has already led to the discovery of several previously unknown retroviruses, notably simian foamy, a primate virus with which hundreds of thousands of people worldwide may be infected.
Today, globalization and transportation create unprecedented opportunities for disease to spread exponentially. "You can travel from a remote village in Congo to New York or Tokyo in 24 hours. From the perspective of infectious agents, the whole world is now one village. Individuals infected almost anywhere have the potential to seed pandemics everywhere," he says.
"As a species, I think we have no choice but to try and forecast pandemics. We've put huge resources into predicting tsunamis, hurricanes, and earthquakes. HIV/AIDS is like an earthquake that's lasted 30 years and touched every country on the planet. We have such incredible capacity to think about the future, it's time we used it to predict biological threats. Otherwise we'll be blindsided again and again," he says.
"There's this entire, unknown microbial world waiting to be discovered," Wolfe stresses. "If an alien visited Earth, they would take some note of humans, but probably spend most of their time trying to understand the dominant form of life on our planet—microorganisms like bacteria and viruses.
"For the first time in history we have the tools necessary to explore this incredible diversity of organisms. It's really the dawn of a new scientific era. As we try to detect viruses that can do great harm, we could also discover the next generation of vaccines and cures. If we can provide even a few months of early warning for just one pandemic, the benefits will outweigh all the time and energy we're devoting. Imagine preventing health crises, not just responding to them."

A coozy, aka coozie, is an insulated holder for keeping drinks cool (typically beer or soda). Usually made of neophrene, styrophome, or other types of polymers/rubbers, a coozy can typically be found in the south, often adorned by Nascar numbers, funny sayings, or advertisers.
Glenn was a serious Nascar fan, and he even had a tattered coozy with Dale Earnhardt Jr's number on it to prove it.
by Giskard July 12, 2004
A very good picture of what a coozy is
Coozies is a word that started in Chicago and the reached southern california. Coozies means cool, often sed in a funny unserious voice. Used by funny people especially. The word itself means cool.
Do you like this? It's coozies. Often associated after people ask you if you like things.

Panel Discussions - Monday, September 26, 2011
Elections and Stability in West Africa: The Way Forward
There is no single recipe for providing electoral assistance—this was a critical takeaway from a September 26th roundtable discussion at IPI on "Elections and Stability in West Africa: The Way Forward."
Keeping this in mind, the workshop aimed to find best practices that could be applied across many cases, drawing on the recommendations to facilitate peaceful elections from the Praia Declaration, an outcome document from a regional conference in Praia, Cape Verde in May 2011 on Elections and Stability in West Africa, convened by the United Nations Office for West Africa (UNOWA).
The roundtable brought together approximately fifty participants, including UN staff, Permanent Representatives to the UN, as well as academics and civil society organizations working on elections.
The views shared by the speakers reflected a range of backgrounds, including Said Djinnit, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for West Africa and Head of UNOWA; Dr. Abdul Fatau Musah, Director for External Affairs of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS); Dr. Christina Thorpe, the chairperson of the National Electoral Commission of Sierra Leone; Professor Timothy Sisk from the University of Denver; and Mariama Bayard-Gamatie, former presidential candidate in Niger.
The participants spoke candidly about ways to improve international electoral assistance as a key to facilitating democracy, stability, and development, and as a tool of preventing violence. During the discussion, a number of themes emerged, including the need for national ownership of the electoral process; transparency and national consensus; strong and credible opposition parties; and the importance of independent and effective electoral management bodies. Strengthening human rights, security institutions, the independent media, and the role of women in the political process were identified as key components to successful elections.
Participants also emphasized the need for greater consideration of national contexts in electoral assistance efforts, and explored the possibility of linking electoral assistance to wider development and governance work. In addition, it was noted that the electoral assistance regime should have greater accountability and increased coordination to avoid duplication of efforts and wasted resources.
Participants analyzed the root causes of election-related violence in West Africa by looking at how elections can serve as the impetus for violence based on underlying tensions and can create new grievances if elections mobilize group identities that were not previously salient. The effects of politicians employing divisive tactics and patronage politics, increasing urbanization and demographic changes, and the acceptance and perceived credibility of election results were among the key factors thought to contribute to election violence. These risk factors highlight the need for innovative monitoring tools to prevent conflict during elections.
Both the Praia Declaration and the ECOWAS Conflict Prevention Framework and Protocol on Democracy and Good Governance were recognized as key normative frameworks to guide electoral assistance in the region. However, despite regional initiatives taken toward their implementation, participants recognized that there is still much to do on the ground to make these norms a reality.
The discussion was held under the Chatham House rule of non-attribution.

How youth, drive and attitude helped create post-recession construction success
Send this to a friend
- Thomas "Torrey" Hawkins, special to Upstart Business Journal
(Page 2 of 3)
I wanted each and every client to think that Angler Construction was the best commercial general contractor they had ever worked with. Most of them didn't even know it was a one-man operation and that I handled everything from construction supervision to project management, accounting, marketing, etc.
Use your relative agility to your advantage
In an established industry, in order to gain market share, you have to figure out the weaknesses of your competitors.
To do that, I met with numerous individuals (some clients, others not) and allowed them to vent the issues they were facing with the contractors they worked with. I then took this information and made sure we exceeded their expectations in all of those areas.
I also used the age and experience of my competitors against them. I moved faster, sold harder and developed more creative solutions to help my clients. Instead of just selling them, I worked to become a construction resource for my clients. I shared ideas and value engineering solutions with them to prove that we cared about the overall cost and schedule impact of their project—a major pain point in the industry.
And if a mistake was made (which happens in construction), I made sure that I was 100 percent honest and accepted full responsibility. This was another major issue I heard from a prospect (now a current client) who felt their contractor was always making up excuses when projects weren't completed on time, or when issues arose.
Don't get complacent
Angler Construction has since grown from a one-man operation to 11 full-time employees. Revenues have grown from $400,000 to almost $20 million in less than four years. And we're currently constructing one of the largest site-cast industrial business park facilities in the City of Houston.

Raining on the parade here - I tried this eye makeup remover based on reviews here, but I'm not totally satisfied. It does take off my waterproof mascara - eventually. I need to spend several minutes and soak my cotton pad 2-3 times before it's all gone. Maybe I just use heavy duty mascara or something (L'Oreal Voluminous). The main gripe I have so far with this product though, is that it isn't very gentle on my eye area... after two nights of using it, my eyes felt dry and sore, especially at the corners - big thumbs down. Also, everyone keeps saying it's cheap, but I got it for $10.99 CDN which doesn't seem that cheap to me, especially for something I need to use every night that won't last very long. So, I'm still looking for "the one".
HATE this stuff! It feels weird and it doesn't do a great job of taking off my mascara. I now use grapeseed oil as my makeup remover.
As I have super oily lids, and always trying new waterproof makeup, but then when the time to remove it comes choosing the right product is essential, and this ladies, become one of my HG.
My first cleansing step is to remove eye makeup, so shake the bottle and pour it onto a cotton pad and leave it in the eyes while patting it gently where the most of the makeup is (generally the roots of the lashes), you could think at first glance that the "oil-free" label is a lie, but after cleansing the whole face and rinse it throught the sensation will fade away.
Almost forgot to mention that this remover didn't make me feel the blurriness sensation.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been using this remover for many years. great product.
This is a great makeup remover, I don't wear eye shadow everyday but I tight line with a heavy duty liner and I always wear waterproof mascara and a heavy duty concealer. This remover gently takes off everything and I find that the oil in the remover really helps to not tug at the sensitive area around the eye. A tip is to lightly dampen the cotton round and then pour remover on it, a moist cotton pad is always gentle on the eyes. I follow this up with cleansing my face with warm water and it doesn't leave any oily residue. I will definitely repurchase this later at some point cause I want to try the Gariner makeup remover next.
does the job at removing waterproof mascara just fine, but it feels oily and leaves an oil film.
I'm so glad MUA led me to this product. The only makeup remover I've enjoyed using was Lancome Bi-facils but I couldn't justify the price tag for makeup remover. This product is great for removing everything with no effort at all.
Not sure why it says that it is oil free when it is incredibly oily? It is effective in removing makeup but leaves an incredibly oily residue after rinsing with water. I had to cleanse my face twice with my regular cleanser to get rid of all the oil! Will not repurchase.
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a very good eye makeup remover that I have repurchased twice already. It is amazing at removing eye makeup although with waterproof mascara you have to rub a bit longer. All in all it is my favorite but I still have an eye out for a mascara that removes my waterproof mascara with no effort.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Omg this removed my makeup with little to no effort. I was wearing waterproof mascara and gel liner and everything came of in one swipe. Never purchasing a different makeup remover again ♥
