The New Mexico Center for School Leadership [the Center]
The Center will provide high quality technical assistance to educators that can be a catalyst for change in New Mexico. It will host the first and only visitation and replication program in the state and it will be supported by the services of a network of highly knowledgeable national school reform experts.
Technical Assistance
The Center will host school visits with educators from other communities (primarily in New Mexico) who can observe the ongoing practice taking place at the school. All visits will have the benefit of pre-conferencing to ensure that the visitor's time is maximized. These site visits include, classroom observations and critiques, text-based seminars, and "Ateliers" or design studios that can enhance the formative thinking of school founders.
In depth, place-based assistance will also be available from a network of national consultants contracted by the Center. We will also offer a one and two week leadership seminar at our site that will include consultation from the following experts:
- Leadership and institutional development—Education Resources Consortium
- Positive Youth Development and Community Engagement—New Mexico Forum Foundation
- Project-based Learning (PBL)—The Buck Institute for Education
- Professional Development Systems—Eagle Rock PDC
- Industry Partnerships—NM Center for School Leadership
The Center will create a four school network in New Mexico based on the ACE Leadership High School model. The network would include schools based on industries that are complementary to ours (Health Care, Information Technology, etc.). The network would provide two benefits:
1. A pipeline of talent that can keep each of the network members strong,
2. Partners that can propel the institutional development and practice of the members.
The program would be based on the mentorship model. Each school would be incubated from the Center beginning with a year-long internship with the founding administrator. The Center would assist in writing the charter and establishing the critical structures for success (Learning by Doing, Community Engagement, and 360 Support). Over time, the Center would create a network with these schools to provide a learning platform for growth. Also, we envision that the schools would broaden the learning opportunities for students through collaboration on curriculum (see the Health Care High School description).
The New Mexico Center for School Leadership's future scope of work will be:

A pure potstill rye whisky from innovative Dutch distillers Zuidam, Millstone Dutch Rye 100 is made in small batches and aged for five years in American oak casks before bottling. Time for a Dutch Manhattan!
"Millstone Dutch Rye Whisky 100" is distilled from Rye grain and Malted Rye grain mash at the Zuidam distillery in small pot stills. The Rye Whisky is aged for 60 months in 190 liter charred new American oak barrels at 120 proof; after that it is transferred from the barrels to a holding tank, diluted to 50% alcohol by volume and filtered.
Zuidam uses traditional windmills to mill the grains. In using windmills the distillery helps preserve the important Dutch heritage of the world famous windmills. Even more importantly, this traditional way of milling causes almost no increase in the temperature of the grain and thus helps preserve the wonderful aromas.
Nose: Rich and welcoming, but complex, with some candy stick, sandalwood, leather saddle and soft toffee. Some musk and five spice in the mix.
Palate: some youthful notes but with a beguiling mix of candy stick, glacé cherries, sweet corn, mint toffee, hickory, and raspberries.
Finish: rich, full and sweet with only a nod to spicy rye.
(Source: Whisky Connoisseur)
Our aged rye whisky is hand crafted in the artisanal distillery that is owned and operated by the Zuidam Family, where a second generation father and son distilling team with combined 50 years of experience use traditional methods and the finest natural ingredients to create this highly-acclaimed whisky.

Origin's new gaming laptops will crush most Alienware ones
Sick of hearing banter about new MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs? Good, because Origin has a 17.3-inch gaming laptop that'll run circles around those "pros" and probably fry your nether regions if you don't keep this thing in a cool room.
Meet Origin's EON17-S. Inside you'll find second-gen Intel Core i5 or i7 processors that can be overclocked up to 4.5GHz with Turbo Boost, a 2GB Nvidia GTX 485M GPU, high-definition 7.1 digital surround sound, 32GB of RAM, full size keyboard with number pad and a biometric reader all wrapped up under a glossy 1920x1080 resolution screen.
Sounds like a beast until you consider that the EON17-S has a battery life of "up to 100 minutes." That's under two hours in a package that weighs 8.6 pounds. You tell me if that's an acceptable trade-off.
Starting at $1,759 and shipping in mid-May, you'll have ample time to figure out what you plan to do with such a powerful computer. Finally play Crysis with all of its settings maxed out? Crank out that video of your cat doing a headstand in an instant? I honestly don't know what I'd do with a computer that fast. I'd probably just play a little Minesweeper on it and throw in the towel.

Mediawikis for research, teaching and learning PROCEEDINGS
Daniel K. Schneider, Kalliopi Benetos, TECFA, FPSE, University of Geneva, Switzerland ; Martine Ruchat, Section des sciences de l'éducation, FPSE, University of Geneva, Switzerland
World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia and Telecommunications, in Lisbon, Portugal Publisher: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), Chesapeake, VA
This paper describes the design of various scenarios implemented with Mediawiki software. After discussing four case studies, we present and discuss pedagogical and technical design guidelines. This contribution is part of a long-term research and development program to design, implement and evaluate the use of ICT to support integrated scenarios for research, teaching and learning. We argue that properly configured Mediawikis are suitable tools if content production and knowledge integration are at center stage.

Luxury Sardinia beach holiday
Chia Village, Italy
Relaxing seven-night, family-friendly holiday close to a beautiful sandy beach - including half-board, flights and transfers
Chia Village is an exceptional four-star hotel situated within the grounds of the Chia Laguna Resort, with access to all of its facilities. Tip-toeing back from the serene Bay of Chia on the Southern coast of Sardinia, this hotel is close to a beach that's so silky soft, it's often compared to the Caribbean.
Perfect for couples, friends and family, the resort has plenty of places for you to relax and indulge in some quiet time, including a wellness centre, a gym, tennis courts and a selection of bars and restaurants. There's also nightly entertainment (and a disco - if you're prepared to brush up on your Macarena routine).
Comfortable cottage-style bedrooms are light, spacious and (more importantly) just seconds from the swimming pool. Like the beach, the pools have towel-service and just in case you get peckish - there's a poolside restaurant serving local delicacies.

LONDON (AP) - A high profile British lawmaker says she is quitting the House of Commons to move to the United States with her family.
Louise Mensch, elected in 2010 as a member of the governing Conservative Party after a career as the author of racy novels, said Monday she planned to leave Britain and move to New York.
The 41-year-old legislator, who has three children, last year married Peter Mensch, manager of rock band Metallica, who lives in New York.
In a letter to Prime Minister David Cameron, Mensch said she had been "struggling for some time to find the best outcome for my family life."
Mensch was a member of Parliament's media committee and took a key role in questioning Rupert Murdoch and other executives over the tabloid phone hacking scandal.

Student Flat by Tengbom Architects
Tengbom Architects have designed a 10 square meter student living unit that is currently being exhibited at the Virserum Art Museum in Småland, Sweden.
From the architects
Tengbom Architects has designed a student flat for students which is affordable, environmental-friendly and smart both in terms of design and choice of materials. The project is a collaboration with wood manufacturer Martinsons and real estate company AF Bostäder.
To meet the needs of students in a sustainable, smart and affordable way was the key questions when Tengbom in collaboration with students at the University of Lund was designing this student flat of 10 square meters. The unit is now displayed in Virserum Art Museum. In 2014, 22 units will be built and ready for students to move into.
To successfully build affordable student housing requires innovative thinking and new solutions. The area in each unit is reduced from current requirement, 25 square meters to 10 square meters through legal consent. This truly compact-living flat still offers a comfortable sleeping-loft, kitchen, bathroom and a small garden with a patio. Through an efficient layout and the use of cross laminated wood as a construction material the rent is reduced by 50 % and the ecological impact and carbon footprints is also significantly reduced.
Energy efficiency is a key issue when designing new buildings. Choosing right material and manufacturing methods is vital to minimize the carbon emission and therefore wood was chosen for its carbon positive qualities, and as a renewable resource it can be sourced locally to minimize transportation. The manufacturer method was chosen because of is flexible production and for it's assembling technique which can be done on site to reduce construction time.
By exhibiting this well planned and sustainable student flat we want to challenge the conventional views and show new ways of thinking. What is "good" living? What materials can we use? To meet the future in a sustainable way we must be innovative in all aspects and have the courage to break new ground, says Linda Camara at Tengbom Architects.
The exhibit is open to the public until the 8th of December.

Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy. Body mass index (BMI), is used to define a person as overweight, when their BMI is between 25 kg/m2 and 30 kg/m2 and obese when it is greater than 30 kg/m2.
Obesity is associated with many diseases, particularly heart disease, type 2 diabetes, breathing difficulties during sleep, certain types of cancer, and osteoarthritis. Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive dietary calories, and lack of physical activity.
In a limited number of cases obesity is due to genetics, medical reasons or psychiatric illness. Obesity is a leading preventable cause of death worldwide.
The primary treatment for obesity is dieting and physical exercise. However, only 10% of patients with severe obesity are able to loose weight using drugs, going on diets or doing exercise. A 90% will not succeed, and if they loose weight they are probably regain it in a short period of time.
Weight loss surgery, also called Bariatric surgery is commonly one of the better alternatives in controlling severe obesity. In Guatemala weight loss surgery – with hightly qualified Bariatric Specialist MDs – is half the price of what it costs in the U.S. Have a look at the price list.

Ehrhardt awards contracts for new water system
Jerry E. Halmon, Staff Writer
The Ehrhardt Town Council unanimously passed a resolution in a special call meeting on October 26 to award contracts in three Divisions of work for the new water system.
In Division 1 of the project, which was noted by town administrator Scott Neeley as the biggest part of the project and were the most money is spent, of the five bids submitted the contract was awarded to Gene Ray Fulmer Construction Inc. of Ridge Spring SC. in the amount of $1, 707,097.50. The work in Division 1 will include installation of water lines, valves and hydrants. The next lowest bidder for the work in Division 1 was Green Construction Company with a total bid amount of $2,201,725.00. Mayor Bill Stanley noted that the bid that was approved by council left on the table close to $500,000 in savings for the over-all project.
Division II of the project was awarded to Caldwell Tank of Louisville, Ky. in the total amount $719, 200 to construct a 100,000 gallon elevated water tank. Caldwell was the only bidder in Division II. Neeley noted that the company built a lot of tanks in South Carolina.
Division III was awarded to Wateree Construction Company of Sumter SC. in the amount of $242,675.00 for installation of water meters, meter reading, software and installation of meter equipment.
Also during the meeting:
Ehrhardt Town Council members agreed to delay a second reading of the ordinance on animal control until Town Administrator Scott Neeley can make changes in the ordinance language related to dogs being under the control of their owners.
In discussion of the ordinance Administrator Neeley stated that you said that you didnt want a strict leash law. Police Chief Jim Preacher stated that state law says that he (a dog) cant leave the property unless under control of a leash. The town is responsible for enforcing state law.
Councilman Bill Edinger noted that, I think what we talked about was not about a leash law, but the dog had to be under the control of the owner. Preston Davis stated that he recently had to run a dog off his property three times that had a tag and dog collar, Davis said the dog chased his cat wouldve killed it.
Nell Walling, whose grandson was recently attacked by a dog said; An animal isnt predictable, an animal that may have never done anything to anyone for some unknown reason may suddenly do something, you cant say for certain what any animal wont do at anytime.
Police Chief Jim Preacher noted; What we are doing is trying to control the pets we have here, If youre going to have pets you must be responsible enough to take care of them. We want people to have control over them. The dog that did the damage was fed by someone, but the damage he did was horrendous. Any animal must be under direct control of the owner, if not the owner must be penalized.
There are too many dogs running around, we need to put in rules that everyone understands, Council Edinger said.
Veterans Day Program
The Cities of Bamberg County will sponsor a Veterans Day Program at the Bamberg Civic Center on Wednesday November 11 at 11:00 a.m. The featured speaker for the program is Butch Jacobs. The Bamberg - Ehrhardt High School Band will be performing along with the JROTC. All branches of the armed services will be recognized in honor of our veterans. A lunch will be served after the program. The event is open to the public.
Military Mailing
For military service members stationed around the globe, holiday gifts are a big morale boost. To help the families and friends of U.S. military personnel, the Postal Service offers a discount on its largest Priority Mail Flat Rate box.
The recommended mailing date for the most economical postage to overseas military installations, including Iraq and Afghanistan, is Nov. 13.
Mail sent to overseas military addresses is charged only domestic mail prices. The domestic mail price for the Priority Mail Large Flat Rate Box is $13.95, but for packages to APO/FPO addresses overseas the price is reduced to $11.95. Additional discounts are available for customers printing their Priority Mail postage labels online at Click-N-Ship.
The Postal Service continues to show support to those serving in the armed forces by offering free Military Care Kits, designed specifically for military families sending packages overseas. The mailing kits can be ordered by phone by calling 1-800- 610-8734 and asking for the Care Kit. Each kit includes two America Supports You large Priority Mail Flat- Rate boxes, four medium-sized Priority Mail Flat-Rate boxes, six Priority Mail labels, one roll of Priority Mail tape and six customs forms with envelopes.
Fifteen Local Governments
A spending-transparency initiative championed by state Comptroller Richard Eckstrom is gaining momentum, as 15 local governments in South Carolina have begun posting their spending details on the Internet.
By putting such information at peoples fingertips, these local officials understand its not their money theyre spending, said Eckstrom. Its the peoples money, and in this Information Age its not difficult or expensive to provide people easy access to government spending details.
Denmark Water System
Jerry E. Halmon, Staff Writer
USDA Rural Development has lots of money on a given year up to $40 million for water and sewer, and if you want big money, theyre the ones, Robert Bob Britts, Regional Program Manager (Loan program for water assistance) with the Southeast Rural Community Assistance Project, Inc. (Southeast RCAP), told members of the Denmark City Council at their October 19 meeting Monday night.
After Britts gave his presentation, Denmark City Council member Hope Long Weldon stated, We need to hit the ground running. What is the best option for us? Britts said the town needed to look ahead to where it wanted to be in the Spring of next year. This was a special year most stimulus funds went to state governments and was spoken for in March and April 2009. I wouldnt be surprised next Spring if there is another round of stimulus funding. You might want to think where you want to be March or February of 2010. Britts added that applications can be made at anytime to USDA Rural Development except in late December.

Facts and figures are flying as debate heats up over a proposed new state law to discourage illegal immigration.
Advocates say illegal immigrants could be costing Arizona taxpayers up to $1 billion a year in state and local services.
Critics say the costs are much lower and claim Mexican immigrants actually benefit government at all levels by paying nearly $600 million in sales and income taxes last year.
The numbers vary wildly because researchers are trying to make projections for a segment of the population that is difficult to track. And in some cases, the statistics tossed around surpass the limits of credibility.
"I believe any research project will lose validity because up to a certain point you will have assumptions," said Hector Gutierrez, the project team leader for a June 2003 study on Mexico-Arizona economic relationships. "After that, you are guessing."
There's a renewed effort to assess the impact of Mexican immigration as a group called Protect Arizona NOW seeks a November 2004 vote on an initiative intended to discourage illegal border crossings.
The new law would require state and local officials to verify a person's residency status before providing "public benefits," to see valid identification before allowing people to vote and to report any suspected cases of illegal immigration to federal authorities.
Initiative supporters said they believe illegal immigrants are straining public resources as tax revenue has slumped, forcing government officials to choose between deep cuts to existing programs or raising tax rates. The supporters claim many immigrants take the lowest-paying jobs, send the money back to Mexico, and rely on government assistance to survive.
Rep. Randy Graf, R-Green Valley, said the cost of illegal immigration to state and local governments reaches $1 billion a year. But he admitted that's basically a guess because so many pieces are unknown.
Rep. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa and chairman of the Arizona Legislature's House Appropriations Committee, said he won't even try to estimate the impact to Arizona until after a committee he has created researches the issue with the state Auditor General's Office.
"How do you know what the real cost is?" Pearce said. "Nobody asks the hard questions because it's just not politically correct to do that. We turn a blind eye."
Critics of the initiative point to a more positive image of immigration profiled in the study by Gutierrez and his team assembled by the Thunderbird Mexican Association, a group of students, alumni and professors at the Thunderbird Graduate School of International Management in Glendale.
Gutierrez, a legal immigrant from Mexico City, said the researchers spent about six months combing through public documents and analyses of various think tanks for a comprehensive look at the economic relationship between Arizona and Mexico.
The study claims immigrants to Arizona annually receive a combined $250 million in welfare and another $31 million in unpaid emergency medical care. But at the same time, immigrants paid $559.7 million in state and federal taxes in 2002, based on a combined purchasing power of $3.9 billion, the study concludes.
Rep. Ben Miranda, D-Phoenix, said those numbers only begin to illustrate how Mexican immigrants, both legal and illegal, are critical to many businesses that depend on relatively cheap labor to keep costs of goods and services from rising.
"This debate over what the undocumented does and what he provides for the state of Arizona is long overdue," Miranda said. "What (initiative supporters) are going to do, if they are successful with their mission, is destroy the state of Arizona and its economy."
But the Thunderbird study includes some shaky assumptions. Gutierrez said the estimate of $250 million in welfare costs was based on research by the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington, D.C., think tank that advocates better immigration enforcement.
Gutierrez acknowledged that figure assumes only legal immigrants receive welfare such as food stamps and Medicaid insurance, because that's what is required by federal and state law.
"According to the rules, according to the information out there, this is not happening," Gutierrez said. "The value of this project is exactly the objectivity of the world out there. If the world does not run as it should, well, that's a different story."
Steven Camarota, director of research for the Center of Immigration Studies, said that assumption is unrealistic. Even the U.S. Census Bureau acknowledges in its research that some illegal immigrants receive welfare, in many cases because they have U.S.-born children eligible under the law.
For example, the census bureau estimates from 2001 show about 4,400 households of illegal immigrants have someone enrolled in Arizona's version of Medicaid, Camarota said. "To a large extent, the health insurance crisis in Arizona is being driven by U.S. immigration policy," Camarota said.
During a phone interview with the Tribune, Camarota used information complied from census figures to estimate the total amount of welfare going to Arizona illegal immigrants annually at $380 million.
Initiative supporters said that demonstrates why the state should take more aggressive steps to deny immigrants access to public services. But Camarota said he doesn't believe that strategy will work.
"Those incentives are probably modest. That's not why they came," Camarota said. "It may have the effect of keeping people here who might have otherwise gone home. I think that happens and it matters. But that's not the driving force behind immigration to the United States. It's mainly people looking for better jobs.
"The frustration that the people in Arizona feel at the situation, however satisfying it may be to direct it at trying to deny benefits to illegals, ought to be directed . . . at people who don't want to control illegal immigration. Once they're in, the state is kind of stuck."
The speculative nature of tracking people who have migrated to Arizona without U.S. permission leads to plenty of guessing about the statistics. Some examples:
Illegal immigrants living in Arizona in 2000:
-- 283,000, as estimated by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Bureau
-- 200,000, as estimated by the Migration Policy Center, based on 2000 Census information
Costs of immigration:
-- $31 million annually in unpaid emergency hospital care for illegal immigrants, as estimated by Thunderbird Mexican Association and the governor's office.
-- $72 million to imprison criminals without legal residency, as estimated by the governor's office.
-- $250 million in welfare, as estimated by the Thunderbird Mexican Association, assumes no illegal immigrants participate.
-- $380 million in welfare to illegal immigrants, as estimated by the Center of Immigration Studies.
-- $1 billion for all state and local services for illegal immigrants, as estimated by state Rep. Randy Graf, R-Green Valley
Taxes paid by immigrants:
-- $599 million in 2002, as estimated by Thunderbird Mexican Association; includes both legal and illegal immigrants.

Thx for the reply Antennipasi
But unfortunately it does not work
Perhaps a little more info is needed.
I running my server on OpenSuse 11.0 setup using this tutorial:
Everything works great including the email when default port 25 is used to send.
The problem is a 1 local ISP blocks port 25.
I uncommented said line and a client on blocked ISP and a client on ISP that is not blocked and a client on the same network as the server will not send (cant connect to server).
Clients can not send on port 25 either (except client on blocked ISP) until I re comment submission line and restart postfix, then clients on unblocked ISPs can send using port 25.
I have opend all ports in the servers firewall.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

As delivered
STATEMENT BY MAJOR GENERAL RAGCHAA GUR ( Military Adviser )
61st SESSION OF THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Mr. Chairman,
Since my delegation is taking the floor for the first time I would like to take this opportunity express my delegation's sincere congratulations to you and other members of the bureau on your election. I am confident that under your able leadership this committee will be able to accomplish its goals.
My delegation associates itself with the statement made by Morocco on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement.
My delegation also joins other delegations in thanking Mr. Jean-Marie Guehenno, Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping, for his presentation to this Committee on the current situation and progress of UN peacekeeping operations. I should especially like to commend the lucidity and analytical nature of his presentation.
Mr. Chairman,
Peacekeeping is becoming one of the core and a flagship activity of the UN. Peacekeeping is more of embodiment of the promise of peace and security that this Organization brings to people in conflict stricken communities.
The scope and range of today's UN peacekeeping operations is staggering. Moreover, one can see that the potential for growth has not reached its ceiling as PKOs continue to expand both in terms of numbers and quality.
Our debate today is, thus, of immense importance. We face a dilemma of meeting the ever-surging demand with the limited resources at hand, while keeping and further improving the effectiveness, efficiency and quality of the peacekeeping operations. Under-Secretary-General Guehenno addressed these issues in his presentation and made a few interesting proposals that my delegation stands ready to discuss further. We share the vision of 2 strategic priorities –that is the effectiveness of peacekeeping operations and exit strategy. We also support the proposal to great a professional and effective management capacity.
Mr. Chairman,
The significance of quality training for peacekeeping personnel cannot be underestimated. Good progress was made through the Integrated Training Service over this year in this area.
Training is also at the heart of activities that my country is taking to develop its peacekeeping capabilities. We have, for example, introduced the United Nations Peacekeeping Training Standards for all pre-deployment training programs for our troops. This training program has been implemented for consequent deployments of our peacekeepers on the ground, as well as in the bilateral and multinational training exercises organized in the country.
Mongolia has also been pursuing an ambitious goal to establish a Regional Peacekeeping Training Center in Ulaanbaatar. The regional center is intended at offering a training ground for regional militaries to improve their interoperability and supporting the United Nations' peacekeeping training efforts. Having close bilateral relations with all regional nations, Mongolia could provide a training ground for regional military to enhance their tactics, techniques and procedures for the United Nations peacekeeping operations.
It is gratifying to note that our training center has hosted various international peacekeeping exercises annually since 2002. Most recently, in August 2006, we hosted at our Training Center a highly successful multinational command post exercise and tactical exercise. Needless to say, the UNDPKO Integrated Training Service was involved in it.
As a TCC participating in 5 UN PKOs, Mongolia is deeply concerned about the damage that the problem of sexual abuse and exploitation may inflict on the image of the United Nations and our troops if left unabated. This ugly phenomenon must not be allowed to undermine the high-profile of the United Nations peacekeeping efforts in the world, and most importantly on the ground. My delegation welcomes therefore the efforts taken at the DPKO to tackle this problem. Allow me to underline here the role of pre-deployment training to avert the occurrence of such shameful acts. Mindful of this my Government ensures that our troops receive thorough instruction on issues of sexual exploitation and abuse as part of their pre-deployment training program.
Mr. Chairman,
Under-Secretary-General Guehenno in his presentation touched upon the exit strategy for PKOs as a strategic priority of his department, an assertion that I cannot but support. I also agree with the delegation of Japan that "exit strategy is also important from the viewpoint of the effective allocation of limited resources". Indeed, if PKOs continue to grow, both terms of personnel size and numbers of individual operations, at current pace for another few years without successful terminations of existing operations, the amount of human and financial resources needed to sustain such extensive global effort would be enormous.
Therefore, close coordination with the newly established Peacebuilding Commission will be of highest importance for successful exit strategies for PKOs. The key is to ensure that conditions for a lasting peace are already in place at a time of the operation's termination, or else we run the risk of repeating the bitter lesson of Timor-Leste.
Mr. Chairman,
Last but not least, allow me to express Mongolia's resolve to further expand its participation in and contribution to the United Nations peacekeeping operations. My delegation takes this opportunity to express its gratitude to the United Nations and the DPKO for the continued assistance and support in developing our peacekeeping capabilities.
I thank you.

Absolutely wonderful and did not skimp on the garlic! If you read the ingredients, you will see that it really isn't "rich", it just tastes that way!

Time consuming since it takes some time just to roast the garlic, but this gave me time to prep for the rest of the recipe. It was delicious. Everyone was happy, even my mom! I left just a few pieces of garlic whole because I love roasted garlic. I also used 4 heads of garlic. Can't wait to make this again!

Wonderful soup! I used 4 medium sized heads of garlic and used all of it in the soup -- and it was not overwhelming. In fact it was smooth, flavorful, and incredibly savory. I blended the soup in my Vitamix to make sure there were no large chunks of garlic and that also made the texture like silk. I did not use fresh whole artichokes. Instead I used frozen artichoke quarters, which I chopped up and sauteed with the shallot. I also used gruyere, not emmenthal, and it worked very well with the soup. This was an elegant restaurant quality dish.

White Sox 7 Cubs 4: Bombs Away
That score is misleading. All four of those Cubs runs came in the ninth inning on a set of two-run homers off Zach Stewart that made this a lot closer than it ever was.
No, homers were the order of the day, as both teams combined for 5 of them on the night, accounting for 8 of the runs scored on the evening.
Dayan Viciedo and A.J. Pierzynski started things off by going back-to-back in the third inning, and then Adam Dunn hit yet another bomb in the eighth inning to cap the night off. Dunn's night was picture perfect, actually, as that home run was his only official at bat.
He walked in his other 4 plate appearances.
The real good news for the Sox on Saturday night was that John Danks didn't give up a run over 6.1 innings, and carried a perfect game into the fifth inning. He finished the night allowing only 3 hits and walking 1 while striking out 4.
It also seems that Robin Ventura is adjusting to handling Danks. After John struck out Bryan LaHair to open the seventh inning, Ventura pulled him from the game even though he'd only thrown 83 pitches.
There are probably a couple different reasons why Robin did this. The first is that, all season long, the more times Danks gets through the order, the harder he gets hit. The second is that Danks had just struck out LaHair and had pitched a great game, so better for his confidence to get him out on a high note.
Oh, and nobody got beaned.
The Sox look to complete the sweep tomorrow afternoon.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.I love thee to the depth and breadth and heightMy soul can reach, when feeling out of sightFor the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday'sMost quiet need, by sun and candlelight. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to useIn my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to loseWith my lost saints,--I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.
"How Do I Love Thee?" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning was written in 1845 while she was being courted by the English poet, Robert Browning. The poem is also titled Sonnet XLIII from Sonnets From the Portuguese.
Elizabeth Barrett was born in Durham England in 1806, the first daughter of affluent parents who owned sugar plantations in Jamaica. She was home-schooled and read voraciously in history, philosophy and literature. Young Elizabeth learned Hebrew in order to read original Bible texts and she learned Greek in order to read original Greek drama and philosophy. She began writing poems when she was 12 years old, though she did not publish her first collection for another twenty years.
Elizabeth Barrett developed a serious respiratory ailment by age 15 and a horse riding accident shortly thereafter left her with a serious spinal injury. Both health problems remained with her all of her life.
In 1828 her mother died and four years later the family business faltered and her father sold the Durham estate and moved the family to a coastal town. He was stern, protective, and even tyrannical and forbid any of his children to marry. In 1833 Elizabeth published her first work, a translation of Prometheus Bound by the Greek dramatist Aeschylus.
A few years later the family moved to London. Her father began sending Elizabeth's younger brothers and sisters to Jamaica to help with the family business. Elizabeth was distressed because she openly opposed slavery in Jamaica and on the family plantations and because she did not want her siblings sent away.
In 1838 Elizabeth Barrett wrote and published The Seraphim and Other Poems. The collection took the form of a classical Greek tragedy and expressed her deep Christian sentiments.
Shortly thereafter, Elizabeth's poor health prompted her to move to Italy, accompanied by her dear brother Edward, whom she referred to as "Bro." Unfortunately he drowned a year later in a sailing accident and Elizabeth retuned to London, seriously ill, emotionally broken, and hopelessly grief-stricken. She became reclusive for the next five years, confining herself to her bedroom.
She continued to write poetry, however, and published a collection in 1844 simply titled, Poems. I was also published in the United States with an introduction by Edgar Allan Poe. In one of the poems she praised one of the works of Robert Browning, which gained his attention. He wrote back to her, expressing his admiration for Poems.
Over the next twenty months Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning exchanged 574 letters. An admiration, respect, and love for each other grew and flourished. In 1845 Robert Browning sent Elizabeth a telegram which read, "I love your verses with all my heart, dear Miss Barrett. I do, as I say, love these books with all my heart – and I love you too." A few months later the two met and fell in love.
Inspired by her love for Robert Browning, Elizabeth Barrett wrote the 44 love poems which were collected in Sonnets From the Portuguese and which were eventually published in 1850. Her growing love for Robert and her ability to express her emotions in the sonnets and love poems allowed Elizabeth to escape from the oppression of her father and the depression of her recluse.
Her father strongly opposed the relationship so she kept her love affair a secret as long as possible. The couple eloped in 1846 and her father never forgave her or spoke to her.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning and her husband, Robert, went to Pisa, Italy and soon settled in Florence where she spent the rest of her life, with occasional visits to London. Soon Elizabeth's health improved enough to be able to give birth to the couple's only child, Robert.
In 1850 she published Sonnets From the Portuguese. Some have speculated that the title was chosen to hide the personal nature of the sonnets and to imply that the collection was a translation of earlier works. However, Robert's pet name for Elizabeth was "my little Portuguese," a reflection on Elizabeth's darker, mediterranean complexion, possibly inherited from the family's Jamaican ties.
While living in Florence, Elizabeth Barrett Browning published 3 more considerable works. She addressed Italian political topics and some other unpopular subjects, such as slavery, child labor, male domination, and a woman's right to intellectual freedom. Though her popularity decreased as a result of these choices, she was read and heard and recognized throughout Europe. She died in Florence in 1861.
Sonnet XLIII, "How Do I Love Thee?" is probably Elizabeth Barrett Browning's most popular love poem. It is heartfelt, romantic, loving, elegant, and simple. It is also quite memorable.
The love poem starts with the question, "How Do I Love Thee?" and proceeds to count the ways. Her Christian spirituality testifies that she loves Robert "to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach." She then professes seven more ways that she loves Robert. Her "passion put to use in my old griefs" refers to the depth of her former despair. The love that "I seemed to lose with my lost saints" refers to the lost loves of her mother and her brother.
The love poem ends with the declaration that time and death will not diminish her love for Robert because "if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death."
Here's another poem from Mrs. Browning's collection, Sonnets From the Portuguese. This is Sonnet XIV wherein she asks Robert Browning for a sublime and pure love.
If thou must love me, let it be for noughtExcept for love's sake only. Do not say'I love her for her smile--her look--her wayOf speaking gently,--for a trick of thoughtThat falls in well with mine, and certes broughtA sense of pleasant ease on such a dayFor these things in themselves, Beloved, mayBe changed, or change for thee,--and love, so wrought,May be unwrought so. Neither love me forThine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry,A creature might forget to weep, who boreThy comfort long, and lose thy love, thereby!But love me for love's sake, that evermoreThou mayst love on, through love's eternity.

Covert performance.
While the Arc'teryx Women's Covert Cardigan looks like a cardigan and offers the comfort and fashion of a collared cardigan sweater, this thing also offers everything you'd expect from an Arc'teryx performance fleece. The Alpenex heathered face fabric has the look and feel of fleece, but it's actually polyester so the jacket is breathable, wicks sweat, and dries quickly on your hiking adventures.
The Covert has a relaxed fit so you can layer over and under it with ease for your skiing sessions, and gusseted, and stretch-knit cuffs keep the jacket in place and feel smooth next to your wrists. A color-contrasted binding covers the hem, cuffs, and collar for a bit of style and a lot of durability. Arc'teryx laminated the sleeve and hand pockets and glued-in the zipper to decrease bulk and keep you comfy whether you're hiking through Glacier National Park or sipping coffee at the local café.

How Do You Welcome New Team Members?
Many organizations have a formal orientation process for onboarding new hires. In this post, I'm not thinking about that. I'm thinking about what happens when a new person joins your department. When a new employee joins your team, what 's the experience like for that person? For current team members? What do you do to get that person comfortable and productive?
You don't need a big, hairy, formal process, but I encourage you to be thoughtful and intentional. Cultivating relationships should be your number one priority. The more rapidly you can get positive relationships going, the more rapidly a person will become comfortable and productive. To get relationships going people must get to know each other.
Make sure this new person gets invited to join team members at lunch, on breaks and at social events outside of work. If there are no social gatherings planned, plan one. I'm taking about an informal drink or a pizza after work, nothing more. Make it part of your department's culture for current team members to go out of their way to make new team members feel welcome. In some cases it might be helpful to appoint a "buddy" (not a supervisor) who can answer questions for the new person. Perhaps team members can "Friend" them or "Link in" with them.
If you do only what's in the preceding paragraph, you'll create a more positive experience for the entire department, integrating the new person more rapidly, thus enhancing both morale and productivity.
If you're interested in doing this even better, facilitate activities that provide a framework for people to get to know each other. These activities can be incorporated into the social gatherings mentioned above. Create opportunities for people to exchange the following kinds of information:
Where are they from?
Where did they grow up?
Where did they go to school?
What did they study?
What's their work history?
What are their interests outside of work?
What's their personal life like? Married? Engaged? Children? Grandchildren? Hobbies? Interests?
What have some of their success been?
In closing, I'll share the most effective technique I've seen. Some years ago I had a couple of team members who really enjoyed creating mild, good-natured initiation experiences for new team members. For instance, in one case we filled someone's office, floor to ceiling, with balloons. In another, we wrapped everything in aluminum foil. The timing was crucial. They were wise enough not to do this right away. They waited a couple of weeks, after relationships had a chance to form. The message was crystal clear: You're one of us now. Every new person just loved it!
Whatever techniques work in your situation, be thoughtful and intentional about welcoming new team members.
Thanks for reading. Always interested in your thoughts.

Obese Women Face Higher Complication Risk After Breast Surgery
|Wed, 12-07-2011 - 9:28am
Are you overweight? Have you had your surgery yet? Were there any complications?
According to a Health Day News article:
Obese women who undergo elective breast surgery, such as a breast reduction or reconstruction, are nearly 12 times more likely than non-obese women to have complications following their operation, according to a new study.
In light of their findings, Johns Hopkins researchers said that obesity should be taken into account when assessing a patient's surgical risk. READ MORE
