The British and U.S. defense leaders vowed Saturday to go after the perpetrators of the Algerian terrorist attacks as well as Islamist militants fighting in Northern Mali.

At a joint news conference with his British counterpart, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said no terrorist group can attack the U.S. and "get away with it."
"Just as we cannot accept terrorist attacks against our cities, we cannot accept attacks against our citizens and our interests abroad," Mr. Panetta said at a London news conference with his British counterpart as the three-day crisis was ending on a tragic note. "Neither can we accept an al Qaeda safe haven anywhere in the world."
Philip Hammond, the British defense minister, added Britain's pledge: "The full force of the United States, United Kingdom and African countries will bear down upon them," he said.
Algerian television broadcast amateur video it said was filmed by a hostage freed in the standoff with Islamic extremists at the Ain Amenas gas plant in the Sahara desert. The video could not be independently verified. Video: A.P./Ennahar TV.
But as U.S. officials and their allies consider their next steps in Africa, the Algeria crisis demonstrates the outer limits of U.S. influence in Africa's al Qaeda fight.
Neither defense leader on Saturday spelled out precisely what their response would be. U.S. officials have said privately in recent days that the Algerian attack may require that they step up a counterterrorism campaign against militant groups in Africa, potentially including special operations forces or increased surveillance by unmanned drones.
Mr. Panetta mentioned U.S. counterterrorism operations against al Qaeda in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen and added: "Now we will do it in North Africa." He offered no specifics.

Officials have linked the attack in Algeria with the militant groups in northern Mali, in particular Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, that are waging a war against the central government based in the country's south, and face a week-old French intervention.
To stem a rise of al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, the U.S. has dispatched military advisers and trainers to a swath of countries from Senegal to Chad.
But those officials enjoy little influence over how terrorism is fought in Algeria, the largest country in Africa, and the birthplace of AQIM, which arose from Algeria's decade-long civil war.

U.S. officials complain privately that the former client state of the Soviet Union is both too heavy-handed in its pursuit of Islamists, and simultaneously too lax at stopping the cross-border flow of foreign fighters and weapons into Mali's north.
"They've always done Soviet-style intelligence, Soviet-style operations, Soviet-style everything," said CEO Rudolph Atallah of D.C.-based risk consultancy White Mountain Research, a former Africa counter terrorism director for the U.S. Defense Department. "They see a problem, they bring a mallet, not a hammer. That's how they've always operated, and probably they'll continue."
In recent months, Algeria's stance appeared to show bending room, as Mali's civil war escalated, U.S. officials said. The partnership, at least publicly, warmed.
As Algeria sought to try negotiations with Mali's AQIM sect, the U.S. backed those talks, with Hillary Clinton echoing Algeria's pro-negotiation stance in a September speech to the United Nations. Mrs. Clinton visited Algeria in October, with counterterrorism a major issue on her agenda.
"Definitely, there's a greater openness," a U.S. State Department official, who wasn't authorized to speak publicly, said at the time. "It's an opportunity to move things forward."
Mrs. Clinton spoke several times this week with Algerian leaders, but this week's crisis raised questions about the rapprochement.

"Western countries are going to have to work with the neighboring countries… Mali, Mauritania, Niger," said Mr. Atallah. "They [Algeria] would rather do it on their own, without any outside intervention."
Earlier this month the French launched a military campaign against AQIM and other militant groups, aiming to roll back the Islamists' advance from Northern Mali.
French officials have been requesting aid from allied countries, including the U.S. U.S. officials have endorsed the French campaign, but Washington thus far has placed strict limits on its support for the intervention.

BNA - For Australian and visiting cyclists from Road to MTB, to Track to Freestyle
Video Camera who uses one?
open topic, for anything cycling related.
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
He'll get done for the horn, the unsafe lane change, and the overtake against doubles one would imagine.
What I find amusing about this, is that the source of the problem is the parked cars, not the bunch. It is of course perfectly alright to block a lane on an important road indefinitely with your unattended car, but for a bicycle to move through the remaining space at half traffic speed is apparently a dire insult against humanity.
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
Humans are so funny, we can sit in traffic for 1 hour, but doing 25 in a 45 zone for 5 mins drives some of us ballistic. Crazy.
This guy also needs to be given a bike and a helmet and spend 30mins on Parramatta rd. $600 fines is just going to deepen his hatred.
For a few incidents i can see camera's being useful, they seem to work well in diffusing immediate aggression in groups. I get an uneasy feeling that longer time they are going to create more problems than they solve.
Long term mediation. Police need to send these guys to RTA to do half day in Bicycle Awareness. Akin to what some drink drivers have to do.
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
He is getting done for unsafe lane change and crossing the doubles which he crossed after being told that he was on camera. If he is difficult he will get done for the horn as well.
Police also discussed driving in the manner dangerous but were doubtful as to whether it would stand up in court.
I think he is going to get a good talking to from the police.
Without the camera he would have gotten away free and this might make him think a bit next time he sees a bunch. He will be on record for this behaviour so any more would weigh very heavily against him if he did anything again to another cyclist
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
I think its ironic how he gets upset at a cyclist touching his car on their terms, yet him "touching" a cyclist with his car on his terms seems perfectly acceptable. If it wasn't so serious it would be funny.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
That's gold! I wonder where he had to get to so quickly on a Saturday
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
I wonder how many TINs this guy will get (go to 50secs in):
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
That is so sickening. How the hell can people act like that?
As for the other idiots that like to play chicken with us, I think they should lose the use of any vehicle for 3 months and have to ride a bike. Then they might understand.

Re: Video Camera who uses one?
That was sickening. Did you see the guy in the orange top look over his shoulder and just get out of the way in time?
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
That's got be one of the most nasty road rage by motorist against cyclists I've seen (similar to that Mexico incident where a car deliberately plowed into a racing peloton).
My observations are,
1) Why were the cyclists riding en-mass there?
2) Why were the cyclists riding slow and taking both lanes in what looked to be a busy city?
3) I note few riders wore helmet and at least two KO'ed riders on the ground were both helmetless.
Anyone know the background story?

Re: Video Camera who uses one?
The caption at the beginning of the video says "Critical Mass Tragedy 25.02.2011"
so I'm guessing this is a Critical Mass ride, all the cars behind were held up as the riders took all lanes.
Seems from the video the driver basically went crazy and decided to plough through from the back straight into the cyclists.

Re: Video Camera who uses one?
The above link suggests they have no suspects, this link has more news: http://www.bikejuju.com/2011/brazil-critical-mass-attack-dozens-of-cyclists-mowed-down-by-motorist/
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
If it's a Critical Mass ride, did they have signs stating the nature of their ride? Or did it come across as a random disorganized bunch of riders hogging the road? The police escort for our local CM rides really make sense in this context. Keeping motorists off as well as keeping the demonstrating cyclists within bound.
Bianchi, Ridley, Montague, GT, Garmin and All things Apple
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
It was an organised critical mass - but they do it a lot more frequently there - I believe that ride might have been monthly.
South American countries have poor driving safety in general (Brazil generally returns 3-4x our fatality rate per head of population), which is probably part of what prompts the riders to take critical mass more seriously.
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
Organized as in the riders know? Our local system makes much more sense. When it's organized, there's police presence and then motorists know it too.
I agree that there are some crazy driving situations in the Americas. When compared to gang killings, this kind of action would have been trivial for a drug gang member who was late to his next hit or deal.
Bianchi, Ridley, Montague, GT, Garmin and All things Apple
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
MY heart just dropped to the floor, I can't believe this
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
Speak your mind,Those that mind dont matter, Those that matter dont mind!!
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
Sickening. The driver is obviously a lunatic.
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
From what I read the authorities were aware of the ride, but escorts weren't requested.
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
it says the driver has been identified but in keeping with the extreme cowardice of his actions, he's now in hiding. he'll find that a bit more challenging in the prison showers.
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
What the??? Sorry.. that's just sickening
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
Yes indeed, lets all hope that he gets someone called big Momma to share a cell with, sick twisted... better not continue with that line.
Happy Days
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
just out of curiosity, how fast were the riders travelling along this section of road?
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
geoffs - can I ask why the bunch was riding so slowly and strung out in what appeared to be the middle of the road?
I love my riding but a strung out bunch like that meandering along would have irritated me too whether I was in the car or on my bike - possibly not to the point where I reacted like that ***********
Not wanting to get attacked but I think there needs to be respect both ways on the road here - he does deserve to get done but we can help ourselves a bit too.
Just my probably unwelcome two cents worth....

Re: Video Camera who uses one?
C'mon, you've been around long enough. Stop playing dumb about Critical Mass
In case you are really so out of touch:
1. CM does not have warning signs , it is not a protest rally.
2. Yes CM is a "random disorganized bunch of riders " - generally referring to it as a 'disorganisation' or 'organised coincidence'. The only organisation is a regular time and place to meet to ride. There are reasons for this, any formal organisation would lead to official action against such organisers.
3. Police escorts are unwanted and generally irrelevant to CM. The local authorities may feel the need but CM exists on its own undertaking.
Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Video Camera who uses one?
Hi Steve,
all the cyclists were riding in the right hand lane as the left hand lane has parked cars. The ride has quiet a few beginner riders who have zero bunch skills. I do agree the bunch has to be tighter however it only takes a moment for gaps to appear. There will be a discussion regarding this before the next rider and the instructions will be firmer. The ride goes hough there at 6:50 am when there isn't much traffic around.We do try to let any vehicles that were behind us on edgeware rd go through before we move into the right hand lane

Cash for Clunkers to allow reservation of popular models that run out
by Chris Shunk (RSS feed) on Aug 14th, 2009 at 9:59AM
The first half of 2009 was so poor in terms of car sales that automakers had to shut down factories for weeks and even months at a time in order to keep inventory in check. Now that Cash for Clunkers put a jolt back into car sales towards the end of July, the same dealers who weren't ordering cars a couple months back are begging for more product to fulfill requests. Since nearly half of the $2.95 billion allotted for C4C is already accounted for, dealers were beginning to worry that they wouldn't be able to fully capitalize on the program because of vehicle shortages.

Gob Gets Job as AT&T Pitchman
Arrested Development star Will Arnett, who's no stranger to commercial work having served as the VO on GMC truck ads and co-creator of those Orbit shorts along with Jason Bateman, hams it up in a new holiday campaign from BBDO for AT&T dubbed "You've Got a Case." Here, the comedic actor plays a lawyer-for-hire named Kent Wesley and plugs the telecom giant's 4G smartphone/Facebook app with a bit more cockiness, charm and pizazz than chubby Luke Wilson. It's everything you'd expect from the man who's resurrecting his classic role as Gob in the near future thanks to Netflix. Credits, which will tell you that is not the handiwork of new AT&T creatives Rick Ardito and Grant Smith, after the jump.

Garner Extension Dining Table 24 24
Awesome table and elegant style! Got this right before the holidays, purchased in the store and picked up myself. We love this table. We also bought the matching, gardner chairs. The set is very sturdy, and well made. I've seen tables like this at other retailers that are 1K plus just for the table. The leaf extension is also great, if you have extra guests. It slides right in and locks from underneath the table. The finish is also great. Has a nice weathered look that is consistent throughout the table build. I love the metal accents, it looks very rustic, yet industrial. Easy to clean and maintain. We did purchase place matts to use with the table. Putting it together was pretty easy. Once you get all the legs on, it takes two people to stand it up. Very heavy, which means it's going to last the test of time. I'm very pleased with this purchase. And, I got it on sale, can't beat that! Do yourself a favor and don't hesitate to buy, you wont find a better one for the price! January 4, 2014
Beautiful Table for Great Value! I spent months looking at dinning room tables. The cost seem to be over $1,000 for a decent table anywhere I looked. I came across this table and loved the look and price. After reading all the positive reviews, I made my purchase. I am so glad I did. Not only did the table take a few days to arrive, it is more beautiful than I ever expected! This is really is a great product for the price. Do not hesitate to purchase this table! December 10, 2013
WE LOVE IT! We scored this table on one of WM's table sales. It was packed exceptionally well. My husband and I could not carry it into our home, it was so heavy, we carried it in piece by piece! It took less than a half hour to assemble and the finished product is BEAUTIFUL. It is very sturdy and durable. Due to us having children, some crumbs do get stuck in the cracks, but a hand held vacuum does the trick perfectly. One thing I didn't see on any of the reviews at the time of our purchase is that the wood is soft...it does ding/dent fairly easily, but I guess it adds character. The metal suspension rods on the bottom are solid and well constructed and so is the entire table. We have yet to use the leaf that came with it, but I know it will look just as gorgeous with it, as it does without it. We are very pleased with our purchase and would recommend this table to anyone! It's a statement piece in our dining room, we use it several times a day and it's very fun to decorate for each holiday. December 6, 2013
TERRIFIC TABLE THIS IS A TERRIFIC LOOKING TABLE. IT DID TAKE 2 OF US TO DO THE ASSEMBLY - PRIMARILY FOR ONE TO JUST HOLD THE LEGS ECT. AND THE OTHER TO DO THE ATTACHING. IT WAS ALSO HEAVY OUT OF THE BOX, BUT NOT BAD AFTER ASSEMBLY. ONCE WE GOT THE HANG OF IT, IT TOOK LITTLE ADDITIONAL TIME. WE WERE ORIGINALLY GOING TO USE THIS ON AN ENCLOSED PORCH, BUT LIKED IT SO MUCH WE PUT IT IN THE MAIN EATING AREA. October 16, 2013
LOVE IT This table is beautiful. And so is the color. The wood is heavy and durable. After reading online about rubberwood, I was pleased to find out it was the eco way to go. I was dreading putting it together based on other reviews but luckily had some amazing house guests that put it together before I got home from work! September 28, 2013
Table Upgrade! I was so excited to purchase this table in store during the weekend sale, so it was $399. It is big and solid and although I only saw it online and not in the store, I still felt like I had to have it. I'll be honest - the first step of the assembly tricked us a little bit, but it didn't take all too long to assemble. Its a great table, I'm very excited about it - but now I need some chairs! September 25, 2013
Stylish,strong & sturdy. We love this table so much. It fits in our space perfectly both size & style. We looked at other places but so happy we got this one. August 7, 2013
Product looks great in dining area of 100+ yr old home. Sturdy, attractive, unusual. Very happy with it. Put leather (faux) side chairs with it and it's impressive. July 31, 2013

Associated Press
DUBROVNIK, Croatia (AP) -- A landmark referendum held in Croatia has failed to derail plans for the construction of a large golf complex that could change the face of the ancient walled tourist resort of Dubrovnik.
Officials said Monday the referendum failed because only 31 percent of Dubrovnik voters cast their ballots Sunday. The official requirement for the vote to be valid is at least a 50-percent turnout.
The result meant that the 1.1-billion-euro ($1.4 -billion) golf course designed by Australian golfing legend Greg Norman -- which includes villas, hotels, tennis courts, a horse-riding club and restaurants -- will be built on the rocky Srdj hill above the historic town.
"Golf will be played on Srdj after all," said Maja Frenkel, the head of Razvoj Golf, the main Israeli investor group behind the project.
The referendum was only the third such vote in Croatia after it

The question is: Do you look purely at damage taken or do you look at Healing Required? This is the amount of healing other people healed you for, so it is basicly damage taken - self-healing done.
This should roughly be the same for tanks in equal gear in the same situation, if not, you need to start analyzing what kind of damage you're taking in more, and how you can prevent that. Maybe you're using barrioer too often instead of SB, maybe the other way around? Maybe you jsut need more hit/exp to get your rage generation up? These are all questions you should be trying to answer when alanyzing performance.

NFPA 99: Health Care Facilities Code, 2012 Edition
Contains the full content formerly found in NFPA 99C*.
|Item # 9912
|Member *
|Table of Contents
|Quantity Discounts
Featuring a groundbreaking shift to a risk- vs. occupancy-based approach, the 2012 NFPA 99 ushers in a new era in health care safety!
In response to an increasingly decentralized health care system, a growing array of high-tech procedures, and new security demands, the 2012 NFPA 99 has reinvented itself to reflect a new environment where it is the risk that a procedure poses to patients and staff, not the location where it is conducted, that defines safety guidelines. Its new title -- Health Care Facilities Code -- signifies that it is rewritten to make performance criteria for health care facilities more enforceable and adoptable.
Completely reorganized, this new benchmark advances health care facility safety with major changes such as...
- A new risk-based framework
- A fully updated Chapter 5, Gas and Vacuum Systems, including additional maintenance requirements
- New chapters on security, fire protection, and information technology
- Operating rooms are considered a wet location unless a risk assessment of the area determines otherwise.
Move up to a new level of protection and keep facilities up-to-code and patients and staff safe from harm.
The 2012 NFPA 99 is essential for engineers, facility managers...AHJs...plumbers...gas and vacuum system installers, designers, and verifiers...security personnel...insurance companies...and manufacturers. (Softbound, 211 pp., 2012)
*Looking for NFPA 99C: Gas and Vacuum Systems?
Starting in 2012, NFPA 99C will no longer be a stand-alone document. Instead, NFPA® provides 3 options.
- The former NFPA 99C content can be found in Chapters 1-5 of the 2012 NFPA 99 on this page
- Access all of the former NFPA 99C medical gas and vacuum systems content in Chapters 1-5 of the 2012 NFPA 99 Handbook
- NFPA's brand-new and best value Medical Gas and Vacuum System Installation Handbook with all the latest rules for Category 1-3 systems plus expert insights, examples, and visuals that help you understand and apply them correctly.

Kappa Alpha Theta
House Information
Kappa Alpha Theta, the first Greek letter fraternity for women, was founded in 1870 at DePauw University. Our four founders, Bettie Locke Hamilton, Alice Allen Brant, Bettie Tipton Lindsey, and Hannah Fitch Shaw, were quite the forward-thinking women when creating the first all-women fraternity modeled after male fraternities. Kappa Alpha Theta was founded at Brown University in 1897 as the Alpha Epsilon chapter. We have many sisterhood events and study breaks throughout the year, which increase our campus presence as well as bring us closer together as sisters! Our various activities each semester include Ratty dinners, study breaks, social events, attending sporting events, gym classes, community service activities, going out for ice cream, and movie nights. Study breaks include pumpkin carving, apple picking, picnics, ice-skating, BBQs, ballroom and swing dancing lessons, making s'mores, and cookie decorating!
In joining Theta, you are choosing to be a part of a sisterhood that values friendship, scholarship, and leadership. On campus at Brown, Thetas stand out in academics, sports, clubs, volunteer organizations, and other extra-curricular activities such as SPEC, varsity and club athletics, and Meiklejohn advising. Each fall we host two campus-wide philanthropy events. This year the two events were a Charity Denim sale and a "Hoops for CASA" basketball tournament; in the past our events have included "ROCK the CASA" and a KATWalk fashion show.
In striving to succeed intellectually, our chapter has consistently achieved the highest all-sorority GPA average on campus. One of our sisters was even named one of Glamour Magazine's Top 10 College Women of 2008! Our chapter has been recognized nationally for our achievements by being awarded a "Bronze Kite" as well as a Risk Management award. Alumnae from our chapter have gone on to programs such as Teach for America, Harvard Law School, Americorps, Brown Medical School, the 2+2 Harvard Business School program, and other successful job opportunities.
Members of Alpha Chi Omega, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Zeta Delta Xi got together Sunday afternoon for a kick-off event to Spring Greek Week. Zete joined forces with AXO against Theta in the second annual powderpuff game. The exhilarating game ended with a Theta victory of 28 over 14.
The powderpuff football game was one of many events happening this week. A Greek-wide...

The Capitan was very nice, it was a beautiful day to be on the water
Because of weather conditions we were not able to make it out to the ocean. We traveled on the intercoastal with no sail. We did enjoy our trip but would of preferred a phone call in the morning to tell us of weather conditions so we could chose if we wanted to reschedule rather than driving all the way down to find out there would be no sailing.

The grand plantation homes of the Mississippi delta are testaments to the fortunes made from sugar and cotton and the labor of slaves.
In the heyday of the Old South, as slaves labored under the hot sun, fortunes were made in cotton and cane. Along the Mississippi delta in Louisiana, some of the most impressive mansions in America stand as testaments to the vast wealth and widespread suffering of a long-vanished era.
Go inside these timeless reminders of the Old South, and trace the peculiarities of their designs with noted architectural historian Richard Guy Wilson. See the "steamboat gothic" architecture of San Francisco Plantation and get a behind-the-scenes tour of Destrahan Plantation with curator Don Didier who reveals the surprising role that yellow fever played in plantation history. Go inside Henry Clay's exquisite bedroom suite in Rosedown Plantation, and walk the perfectly preserved grounds of Shadows on the Teche, one of the grandest of all the BAYOU ESTATES.
It's a memorable tour of the finest homes of the antebellum south and a reminder of a vanished way of life.

That looks really, really good. I like how you have all the info and important data you need, and yet it's not cluttered and overcrowded. I can't really find anything I don't like so 10/10.
Here's mine; I completely re-built it today. Got tired of my previous layout.
Let me know what you think. The only real gripe I have (other then the fact that I only have a 1400x900 monitor) is how I'm using ElksBuffBars to keep track of DoTs and debuffs on my target. Any recommendations on a different debuff tracker AddOn would be welcome.

Central pulls away from Busco late
Churubusco held Maverick Baumer in check for most of 30 minutes, but the Adams Central big man came through with some clutch play late and helped the Jets to a 39-34 victory in the first round of Sectional 36 action Tuesday night at South Adams.
Baumer found the net with a 3-pointer with 2:31 left in the fourth quarter, breaking a 30-30 tie, and Central never trailed again.
Baumer was held well below his season average (18.3 ppg) with just 10 points, but seven of those came in the fourth quarter and Adams Central in dire need of an answer for a suffocating defense deployed by the Eagles.
Churubusco's Joshua LeFever knocked down a pair of free throws with 15 seconds lef...

The Washington Post
WASHINGTON - In the anxious weeks after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., the idea of bringing more police into the nation's schools has picked up support. But for many parents and educators, there is a more immediate priority: protecting schoolhouse doors.
Some schools in the Washington area lack buzzer entrance systems. Some leave a main door open, with a sign asking visitors to report to the office. Some, according to parents, do not closely screen all visitors or use different rules for after-school activities and child-care programs.
What happened at Sandy Hook on Dec. 14 -- when gunman Adam Lanza overcame a security system, shooting out glass near the school entrance, police said, before killing 20 children and six staff members -- sent the nation reeling and brought new attention to school entry points.
Across the Washington region, officials in many school systems -- including those of the District and Fairfax, Montgomery and Prince George's counties -- say they have strong practices already in place and are taking a close look for areas of improvement.
But the aftermath of the Connecticut tragedy has spotlighted inconsistencies at schools, funding concerns and a heightened interest in basic security measures, even if they would not prevent an attack like the one at Sandy Hook.
In Virginia, 2012 data show that controlled access systems are in place at 59 percent of elementary schools, 51 percent of middle schools and 37 percent of high schools.
Seventy-three percent of schools said they lock up during school hours, and 46 percent said they had someone posted at the front entrance to ensure that visitors check in. Just more than half of schools said all classroom doors could be locked from inside and outside. Maryland and D.C. officials said they could not provide similar figures last week.
"We just have to do everything possible ... and just say a prayer," said Montgomery County Board of Education member Patricia O'Neill (Bethesda-Chevy Chase) moments before a January vote to speed up a $364,000 project to install buzz-in systems, with exterior cameras and intercoms, at a final group of elementary schools.
In Maryland, Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) has proposed spending $25 million in construction money in the coming year to tighten physical security at public schools, with cameras at entrances, automatically locking doors, shatterproof glass and buzzer entrance systems.
"A lot of what we're doing is strengthening what's already in place," said State Superintendent Lillian M. Lowery, who noted that Maryland is reviewing every district's emergency plans while seeking best practices and looking to "put in as many safeguards as possible."
In Virginia, Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (R) created a school safety task force that is expected to issue a set of recommendations Thursday.
At a Jan. 16 public meeting about security in Rockville, the father of a kindergartner focused on beefing up security at elementary schools. The mother of a high-schooler asked about doors near portable classroom trailers.
Then there was parent Mike Richman's pointed question: Shouldn't all middle school doors be locked?
"Are they?" Richman asked.
Officials in local systems say schools lock exterior doors, but not all entrances are locked in all school systems. In some districts, schools with younger students often have tighter building controls, and schools with older students have more security staff or police on the premises.
"Security is always a balance," said Robert Hellmuth, safety and security director for Montgomery schools. The goal, he said, is to control who gets inside schools while not turning them into fortresses.
Experts say schools are among the safest places for the young. Researcher Dewey Cornell, who studies school safety at the University of Virginia, says 99 percent of homicides of children ages 5 to 18 occur outside of school.
Nationally, schools became more vigilant about locking doors, and some installed buzzer systems, after the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School, said Kenneth Trump, a school security consultant.
"The momentum faded four to six years after Columbine," Trump said. "The mind-set became more and more lax."
Trump said secure entrances are critical in schools -- and need to be paired with well-trained school staff so that visitors are noticed and screened.
At Sandy Hook, the security system might have prevented more deaths, Trump said, because it slowed the gunman's entrance.
"Those were seconds that gave people on the inside time to lock down," he said. "Seconds count."
Police officers, although the focus of many proposals nationally, are primarily used locally in secondary schools, with the greatest number in the District, which has 100 "school resource officers" and 300 security guards in its 118 buildings.

Multilateral development cooperation of the Czech Republic
02.09.2013 / 12:15
Czech Republic works with a number of international organisations that strive to reduce poverty and contribute to sustainable development on a global scale. The country participates in activities of the UN, the European Union, OECD, international financial institutions and other intergovernmental organisations.
The ways in which the Czech Republic becomes involved in the activities of international organisations are varied: by the direct participation of Czech experts in specific development projects implemented by the various organisations; or via contributions focusing on specific activities that the organisation pursues in the developing world, with annual contributions towards the organisation's budget being the basic method of participation. Besides compulsory contributions, which arise directly from the country's membership in a given organisation, the Czech Republic annually provides voluntary funding to a number of organisations, while also supporting the involvement of Czech experts. The Czech Republic is also represented in the managing, executive and other bodies of various organisations, thus contributing towards defining their strategy and general action plans.
The financial volume of Czech ODA contributions to international organisations in 2012 is presented in table below:
|Volume (USD million)
|Multilateral ODA Ratio (%)
|European Union
|78,54 %

- If you want to save money, pillows filled with a combination of down and feathers are generally less expensive than their 100 percent down-filled counterparts. Be aware, however, that the stiffer feathers can poke through a pillow covering in some cases. Many new fiberfill or combination pillows can mimic the feel of 100-percent down at a fraction of the cost and may be better suited for allergy-sufferers. Look for a pillow that claims to provide the most support for your preferred sleeping position.
- Check the care instructions when buying a pillow, too. Most can be machine-washed, but some suggest using a certain type of machine, such as a front loader, or some specify dry clean-only care. Foam pillows are usually not washable.
- Consider picking up a pillow protector or liner while you're in the store, too. This will help prevent wear and prolong the life of your pillow.

Credit Suisse moves Russia investment banking to London
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Megan Davies and Douglas Busvine | December 6, 2012 2:49 AM EST
Credit Suisse
The news on Wednesday marks a significant, but not complete, retreat from a market that Credit Suisse entered in the chaos that followed the breakup of the Soviet Union, and did not abandon despite the hit it took in Russia's 1998 financial crash.
The Zurich-based bank will move its debt and equity capital markets, and corporate advisory businesses to London, venue of major recent Russian share offerings by Sberbank
Credit Suisse was involved in both deals, propelling it to the top spot in the year to date in Russian equity deals, according to Thomson Reuters rankings. It placed 12th in debt deals and sixth overall in Russia.
Switzerland's dominant banks have come under massive regulatory pressure to cut risk and shrink balance sheets, while Russian state rivals Sberbank and VTB
The move responds to a flow of liquidity away from Moscow which - despite the Kremlin's efforts to transform the Russian capital into a global financial center - has failed to attract major deals.
Capital is leaving Russia at an annual rate of $80 billion, reflecting concern about corruption, the weak rule of law and the state-capitalist agenda pursued by President Vladimir Putin since his return to power in May.
Russia CEO Steven Hellman and Chairman Diana Gindin will stay on in Moscow to oversee trading in fixed income and equities, and private banking. They will continue to coordinate relationships with investment banking clients on the ground.
A "handful" of roles will be affected as some senior bankers relocate to London, the source added.
In a statement issued to Reuters, Credit Suisse said: "We continue to be proactive about monitoring the size of our business relative to client opportunities and market conditions.
"This involves realigning resources to growth areas and adjusting capacity to meet client needs and to manage costs across the business. Credit Suisse remains committed to its clients in Russia."
As part of a major efficiency drive, Credit Suisse expects to achieve cost reductions in its 2013 financial year of more than 3 billion Swiss francs ($3.24 billion), rising to 4 billion a year in 2014-15.
Credit Suisse was an early adviser on Russia's post-communist privatizations, but its investment banking arm, Credit Suisse First Boston, took losses of $1.3 billion when Russia defaulted on its domestic debts and devalued the rouble in 1998.
CSFB cut its Russia head count by a third after the crash, but the Swiss bank went on to expand its presence in the boom that followed Putin's rise to the presidency in 2000.
Foreign banks have found it increasingly difficult to compete against Russia's state banks, which enjoy a funding advantage and implicit guarantee from a sovereign that itself has a strong balance sheet.
