What GAO Found
GAO's prior work has identified several key factors important to secure the maritime borders. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its components have made progress (e.g., coordinating with partners), and in some cases also experienced challenges with their related maritime security programs.
Maintaining robust maritime domain awareness. It is critical that federal agencies maintain maritime domain awareness--the understanding of anything associated with the global maritime environment that could adversely affect the security, safety, economy, or environment of the United States. The U.S. Coast Guard has developed systems--including information-sharing and vessel-tracking systems--to enhance maritime domain awareness. GAO's prior work has found that the Coast Guard has made progress in developing its systems, but that it also experienced some challenges. For example, in July 2011, GAO reported that the Coast Guard had not met its goal of building a system intended to enable the sharing of information among its new offshore vessels and aircraft. GAO recommended that the agency take actions to address this challenge. DHS concurred and stated it planned to take actions.
Assessing risks coming from foreign ports. The security of maritime borders also depends upon security at foreign ports where cargo bound for the United States originates. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and the Coast Guard have developed models to assess the risks of foreign ports, foreign vessels entering U.S. ports, and the cargo carried by these vessels from these ports. In September 2013, GAO found that CBP has taken steps to enhance the security of U.S.-bound cargo, but CBP does not periodically assess the supply chain security risks from foreign ports that ship cargo to the United States. GAO recommended that CBP periodically assess the supply chain security risks from these ports. DHS concurred with GAO's recommendation and reported that it planned to take actions to address it.
Conducting maritime surveillance, interdiction, and security operations. Along the coasts and in ports, maritime surveillance, interdiction, and operations are conducted to ensure the security of the maritime borders. For example, CBP's Office of Air and Marine is to provide maritime surveillance and interdiction capabilities. In March 2012, GAO found that the office did not meet its national performance goal and did not provide higher rates of support in locations designated as high priority. GAO made recommendations to help ensure that the office's assets and personnel are best positioned to effectively meet mission needs and address threats, among other things. DHS concurred and reported that it planned to take action to address the recommendations by the end of March 2014.
Measuring performance. In securing our maritime borders, DHS and its component agencies have faced challenges in developing meaningful performance measures. For example, GAO's prior work found that they have experienced challenges collecting complete, accurate, and reliable data; among other things. In January 2011, GAO reported that both CBP and the Coast Guard tracked the frequency of illegal seafarer incidents at U.S. seaports, but the records of these incidents varied considerably between the two component agencies and between the agencies' field and headquarters units. GAO made a recommendation to improve the accuracy of DHS data, and DHS concurred and has made progress in addressing the recommendation.
Why GAO Did This Study
Maritime borders are gateways to our nation's maritime transportation system of ports, waterways, and vessels--which handle billions of dollars of cargo annually. An attack on this system could have dire consequences and affect the global economy. In addition, criminals could use small vessels to smuggle narcotics, aliens, and other contraband across U.S. maritime borders. Within DHS, the Coast Guard is responsible for many homeland security efforts in the maritime domain, including conducting port facility and commercial vessel inspections and coordinating maritime information-sharing efforts, among other things. In addition, CBP is responsible for screening incoming vessels' crews and cargo to facilitate the flow of legitimate trade and passengers.
This testimony identifies key factors important to secure the maritime borders, and discusses progress and challenges in related DHS programs. This statement is based on products GAO issued from July 2003 through October 2013.
What GAO Recommends
GAO has made recommendations to DHS in prior reports to strengthen its maritime security programs. DHS generally concurred with these recommendations and has taken actions, or has actions under way, to address them.

Here is another easy quiche recipe! This one is originally made with a typical French cheese called époisses after the eponymous village in Eastern France where it comes from. I used Brie but you can also add camembert, munster, chaumes, vacherin... or whatever soft cheese you like.
If you really have a hard time finding the perfect cheese for your easy quiche recipe you can always use feta cheese as well. Its fresh and rather sour flavor also works well in combination with the sweetness of the apple. And why not use a blue cheese and a couple of pears instead of apples? Serve the quiche with a fresh rocket salad.
Ingredients for 4 persons
2 apples
9 oz (250 g) plain flour
7 oz (200 g) cold butter, diced
3 tbsp (45 ml) cold water
2 oz (55 g) Brie cheese, sliced
3,5 oz (100 g) Emmental cheese, grated
3 oz (85 g) sliced bacon
2 large eggs
1 cup (200 ml) heavy cream
Pour the flour in a clean blender and add the diced cold butter and a pinch of salt.
Blend into a dry mixture and pour in the cold water.
Pulse the flour until you get a moist but not too sticky dough.
Transfer it to a clean surface and knead the dough for a couple of minutes until smooth.
Roll the dough out and coat a tart tin.
Cover it with a sheet of baking paper and fill it up with baking beans or dried pulses.
Blind bake the shell in a preheated oven at 359°F (180°C) for 10 minutes. In the meantime peel and clean the apples. Chop them into bite-size pieces. Slice the bacon finely. Add both apples and bacon to a bowl and season with a little pepper and salt.
Mix it well. Add the heavy cream and the eggs to a high cup and blend it for a couple of seconds.
Once the quiche shell is cooked, let it cool for 5 minutes. Then sprinkle it with half of the grated cheese.
Top with the bacon and apple mixture.
Pour the heavy cream mixture on top. Top with the Brie cheese.
Sprinkle with the rest of the grated cheese.
Season with another pinch of pepper and salt. Bake the cheese quiche in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30 to 35 minutes until the cream has set and the top starts to brown a little. Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

LENOIR CITY, Tenn. (WVLT) -- It can't be a surprise to see schools like Maryville, Alcoa, Oak Ridge, and CAK in the state prep football rankings.
Lenoir City, on the other hand, might be.
"Around the school and around the community, it's the talk. Everybody is talking about Lenoir City football," senior Lucas Hamilton said Tuesday at football practice.
And more than just Lenoir City has noticed the Panthers this year. The entire state has. The Panthers have climbed to number two in the Class 5A state football poll.
The team is currently 3-0, making this season one of the Panthers' better starts in school history. All three wins have been by double digits.
"The school is starting to realize that we are a good team this year. Everybody is just kind of surprised that we started off 3-0," quarterback Jordan Hall said.
It's been a steady work in progress, but head coach Mike Zeller is seeing the results he expected to see when he was named Lenoir City's head coach in 2008.
"We've been building this program for five years now," Zeller said.
"We've got some kids that have been here for four years thru the system. A lot of them played when they were young, so they're veterans now. We've got a veteran team and they just believe in what we're doing."
Lenoir City will try to improve to 4-0 Friday night when the Panthers host Bearden. The Bulldogs are ranked number eight in Class

Introducing Palm Foleo. The Treo's only friend.
As we said yesterday, Palm has announced a new mobile device to work side by side with the Treo smartphones. The Palm Foelo is a light-weight thin mini laptop with a 10″ display and powered by Linux. The Foleo will be available this summer for $499 after $100 introductory rebate.
Key features:
- One-button access to full-screen email
- Instant on, instant off
- Rapid access to various applications
- 10-inch screen and full-size keyboard
- Web search and browsing via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi
- Editors for Word, Excel and PowerPoint, plus a PDF viewer
- Compact, stylish design that fits on an airline tray table
- Lightweight at 2.5 pounds
- Fast, simple and intuitive navigation
- 5-hour battery life
- Linux OS for easy application development
Read over for the official press release from Palm.
Foleo Mobile Companion Brings Large Screen and Full-size Keyboard to Smartphones
CARLSBAD, Calif., May 30, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Building on its vision that the future of personal computing is mobile computing, Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq:PALM) today announced the Palm(R) Foleo(TM), its first smartphone companion product. The Foleo mobile companion has a large screen and full-size keyboard with which to view and edit email and office documents residing on a smartphone. Edits made on Foleo automatically are reflected on its paired smartphone and vice versa. Foleo and its paired smartphone stay synchronized throughout the day or at the touch of a button. This powerful combination is for productivity-minded business people who want a more complete mobile solution for email, attachments and access to the web.(1)
The Foleo mobile companion turns on and off instantly and features fast navigation, a compact and elegant design, and a battery that lasts up to 5 hours of use. Its applications include email, full-screen web browser, and editors or viewers for common business documents such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files. The Foleo stays synchronized via Bluetooth(R) wireless technology and uses the smartphone's radio or the Foleo's built-in Wi-Fi radio for general Internet connectivity.
"Foleo is the most exciting product I have ever worked on," said Jeff Hawkins, founder of Palm, Inc. and the visionary behind the Foleo's concept and definition. "Smartphones will be the most prevalent personal computers on the planet, ultimately able to do everything that desktop computers can do. However, there are times when people need a large screen and full-size keyboard. As smartphones get smaller, this need increases. The Foleo completes the picture, creating a mobile-computing system that sets a new standard in simplicity."
Foleo mobile companions work with Palm's Treo(TM) smartphones (Palm OS(R) and Windows Mobile(R) versions). However, Palm believes that most smartphones based on Windows Mobile should work with little or no modification. Smartphones based on operating systems from Research in Motion, Apple, and Symbian likely can be supported with a modest software effort. The Foleo's synchronization architecture is open, and Palm expects to work with third-party developers to support as many smartphones as possible.
"As we did with the PalmPilot more than a decade ago, and more recently with the Treo smartphone, Palm is driving innovation and capitalizing on emerging opportunities in mobile computing, a market full of potential," said Ed Colligan, president and chief executive officer of Palm, Inc. "The Palm Foleo represents our first product in a new line of solutions that will redefine how people work while away from their desks. It starts today with a focus on wireless email, and we expect the Foleo to grow in features and expand its capabilities as the platform grows."
Skyrocketing use of mobile email creates demand for a new way of mobile computing. By the end of 2007, an estimated 24.2 million wireless email accounts will be in use worldwide, and by 2010 wireless email accounts will soar to 199 million.(2) The rapid growth of smartphone sales, the faster speeds of wireless networks, and the increasing digitization of content make this the right time for the introduction of Palm's first mobile companion product.
Although designed primarily as a companion to a mobile phone, Foleo is a powerful computer on its own. Its Linux-based operating system and built-in Wi-Fi radio make it easy for developers to create new applications that can be installed with a single click in the browser. The Foleo has a USB port, video-out port, headphone jack, and slots for SD and compact flash cards for memory expansion. This combination of capabilities in a low-cost design is new in the industry. Palm has opened its design and is actively supporting third-party software developers.

On an August evening, 300 winegrowers packed into a town hall 30 minutes' drive east of downtown Bordeaux, hoping to find a way to stave off economic ruin. Outside was devastation: Three days earlier, almost 30,000 acres of vines in the Entre-Deux-Mers, St.-Emilion and Castillon wine regions had been damaged in a hailstorm that lasted minutes.

PERRY HALL, Md. (AP) - The church attended by the Perry Hall High School shooting victim is planning a celebration for when the teenager can return to worship there.
Seventeen-year-old Daniel Borowy was critically wounded Monday and is being treated at the Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore.
He is a member of the Perry Hall Family Worship Center. Pastor Dominic Correlli says the church is planning "a day to honor Daniel and thank the Lord at the same time."
Correlli says the Borowy family still needs people's prayers.
The church is raising money to help the family with medical expenses. Correlli says people who want to donate can find information on the church website.
A fellow student is charged in the shooting.

Smashbox Bionic Mascara Reviews
AWFULI have extremly short lashes and this mascara promised to make them longer and stand out. it did nothing such as that. It clumped what little eye lashes I had together, it smeared very easily, and dried out quickly. Do not buy, not worth the price at all. — 5 years, 11 months agockc0808 | 8 reviews
blahOkay, so I rarely buy into the hype of a new product and rush out to buy it. I tend to wait a while and work myself up to it, especially something this expensive. But this time, this sounded so great, I ran out and got it (online) while I still had tons of my old mascara left. Thank goodness! I had some old stuff left when I tried this and hated it. It flaked really bad, there was so much on ...read morethe brush that you can't help but end up with clumps. It really didn't improve my lashes much either. No more than my cover girl does, anyway. I wouldn't waste my money if I were you. — 6 years agoCyandron | 8 reviews
pretty goodi like this mascara ok. i love the brush, but the mascara is a little thick. i wipe the product off the brush and still have enough to cover both eyes. — 6 years agoBethCrosby | 7 reviews
GREAT!I do makeup so i know how make lashes look great with any mascara but ive tried literally everything and this is amazing. um im gonna have to say if you dont clump your brush, nothing seperates better. Your lashes will fan out, then you just have to put on a few more coats for volume and brush from the back to lengthen. i dont want a mascara that makes me look like i have 3 lashes, i want one that...read more fans them out like a movie star and this does!...another thing, i ran out and found and had to use cheap stuff a couple times and my lashes were in bad shape from the cheap stuff. Right when i put on my bionic my lashes were strong and healthy again, it is a mascara to help strengthen your lashes. trust me it DOES!!! — 6 years, 1 month agobabyk8701 | 3 reviews
ClumpyThis mascara is really nothing special. Even Maybelline's Mascaras worked better than this for cheaper. Left my lashes clumpy with that spider legs effect. Didn't do anything to make lashes thick or long either. — 6 years, 1 month agocheetah11 | 154 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful
it is just OKI have pretty much everything that smashbox makes...they are not known for their mascaras! — 6 years, 1 month agoChristineJule | 3 reviews
unexpectedly greatI always have low expectations for mascara but this one really surprised me. It gives me nicely thick lashes without clumping. However, it delivers inconsistent results. I have "good mascara days" and bad ones with this. — 6 years, 2 months agoemkay150 | 17 reviews
Only had it a few days but...Given the price -this stuff is a rip off. I can't tell a significant difference between the mascara that costs $19 and the stuff that costs $9. Within a few hours of wear raccoon eyes have appeared. While it's better than some or just as good as most don't waste your money on an adequate product. — 6 years, 3 months agoLydiaLaCat | 13 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful
definitely not worth itfirst off, i really don't see much of any improvement to my actual eyelashes, so their go their advertisements...plus, it really doesn't give as much effect as i would want. there's some length but thats about it...on top of all that, this seems like the hardest mascara to take off...i dunno why but i can never see to get all of it off at night — 6 years, 3 months agochitownchik | 84 reviews
it's a flopI was excited to try this because I liked the separation I got with their original mascara. The problem with that one was it was so light it didn't do anything for lashes- this seemed to be a pumped up version of that- the brush looks bigger and promising. This mascara's marketing promises a lot. Alas... no results. This really doesn't do anything. Maybe if you want a natural look with not much ad...read moreded volume. Also; it smudges. There are much better preformers than this false advertisement! — 6 years, 3 months agomidori | 45 reviews

denim on the brain
In looking through my recent pinterest/tumblr photos, I noticed a common theme. Pretty much the easiest formula to master: casual denim + polished shoes (flats and heels work equally well). Rinse. Repeat.

With New Year's fitness resolutions in the air, the AIDS Foundation of Chicago (AFC) today officially launched TEAM TO END AIDS, a new endurance training program that includes marathon, half marathon and triathlon coaching. Beginners and experienced athletes can register today at: T2EA.com
In a few months, TEAM TO END AIDS (T2 for short) can train you to complete a marathon, half marathon or triathlon, even if you've never trained before. T2 replaces the Chicago arm of the National AIDS Marathon Training Program, which had trained participants to complete a marathon or half marathon and raise money in support of AFC.
Since 2003, AFC has netted more than $4 million through the Chicago AIDS marathon training program. The funds support housing, case management, prevention and policy programs that advance the agency's mission to end new HIV infections and improve the lives of people with HIV/AIDS.
Funds raised through T2 will continue to support the life-saving work of AFC, which will mark its 25th year in 2010.
"AFC is proud to have served as a beneficiary of the National AIDS Marathon Training Program for the past seven years and enormously grateful to all the runners and individual supporters who helped make the program a huge success over the years," said AFC president/CEO Mark Ishaug. "We look forward to having former participants as well as first-timers take part in T2 program. Many have already expressed interest in the triathlon training, something we hadn't offered before."
Whether you're a beginner or a veteran of endurance challenges, T2 will prepare you to go the distance and raise money to help fight AIDS. Simply choose your challenge – marathon, half marathon, or triathlon – and T2 staff will be with you each step of the way providing professional fundraising, training and nutritional support.
T2 offers a five-month marathon and three-month half marathon training program. In addition, T2 has partnered with TriMonster and Fitness Formula Clubs to provide a complete four-month triathlon training program, including full access membership to a Fitness Formula Club (choose from five participating locations).
The T2 program registration fee is $95 and each participant will be asked to meet a fundraising goal. Training for all three events begins May 8, 2010. All levels of experience are welcome.
"Like most people who have completed this program, I can personally say that it has been life-changing," said Katie Wargula, a T2 marathoner. "Each participant is able to do something they never thought possible: help save lives and have fun in the process. It doesn't get any better than that!"
Get fit. Have fun. Make a difference. Register today at T2EA.com or call 312-725-T2EA (8232). Find us on Facebook at: facebook.com/TEAMTOENDAIDS, on Twitter at twitter.com/t2ea or connect with us via your mobile phone by texting "T2EA" to 30364.

Boston have released, "God Rest Ye Metal Gentlemen," a digital single released in celebration of the holiday season. The cut, produced by Tom Scholz, is available now on iTunes, and features Kimberley Dahme on bass and lead vocals, Gary Pihl and Scholz on vocals and guitars, along with Tom Hambridge on drums.
"This was my chance to BOSTON-ize one of my favorite Christmas carols. I had so much fun with this one, I think I'll have to try a few more," said Scholz of the cover.
The band's recently released sixth album, Life, Love & Hope, reached number 37 on the U.S. chart in its debut week.
The record features vocals by the late Brad Delp, as well as David Victor, who joined the group in 2012 after singing for a Boston tribute band, Kimberley Dahme, Tommy DeCarlo and Scholz.

My Research Team in 2012.
Approach to graduate student supervision
I find that students need to realize that there is a broad spectrum of talents, that each has unique talents and one is more skilled in a given area than another, that while at an earlier stage in their lives there were pressures for conformity, now they should recognize the great values of diversity.
An important part of the teaching in a University occurs in the research laboratories where students undergo the transformation from assimilating knowledge to generating new knowledge. This transformation occurs under the guidance of the professor in whose laboratory the work is done. My approach to graduate student supervision is guided by the following premises:
- provide as much guidance and support as necessary, and as much independence as possible;
- challenge graduate students with ideas and research concepts that are foreign to their research projects, and expect to be challenged by their concepts and insights;
- provide positive feedback and rewards for significant achievements.

Research Associates and Post Doctoral Fellows
Dr. Maurice Ndagijimana (Research Associate)
There is a growing interest in marine and meat processing by-products as sources of peptides and proteins. Dr. Ndagijimana is focused on extraction of proteins and characterization of their functionality as well as characterization of bioactive peptides.
In addition, Dr. Ndagijimana is researching on how to modify proteins and peptides (by glycation or glycosylation) in order to improve their functionality and bioactivities (eg. antimicrobial activity). Proteins and peptides as well as glycoproteins and glycopeptides are characterized by a repertoire of different techniques including FPLC, UPLC, LC-MS/MS, MALDI-TOF-MS or Orbitrap-LC-MS/MS.
Dr. Zied Khiari (Post Doctoral Fellow)
Dr. Khiari is currently involved in process piloting and scaling-up technologies for recovering value added food ingredients from poultry by-products. The scale-up of technologies, developed in Dr. Betti's laboratory, includes:
- Scaling-up poultry protein isolate extraction process,

US supports Lamy for head of WTO
06.04.05 @ 09:53
The former French EU commissioner for trade and candidate for head of the World Trade Organisation's , Pascal Lamy, would serve the institution "very well", the US deputy secretary of state Robert Zoellick has said.
Speaking on Tuesday (5 April) at a press conference in Geneva, Mr Zoellick, who was Mr Lamy's American counterpart during the last tenure of the European Commission, said the Frenchman is "a very solid candidate" for the helm of the organisation and recommended that he travel to Washington to put his ideas to the Bush Administration.
The US has not yet officially indicated which candidate it will support for the position, fuelling speculation that Washington will back Mr Lamy for the WTO as a reward for tacit European support of Mr Wolfowitz's bid to be head of the World Bank.
However, even if "the WTO would be very well served by his candidacy", Mr Zoellick quickly added that "there are other candidates as well".
The other candidates to head the WTO are Brazil's WTO ambassador Luis Filipe Seixas Corrêa, who has China's support, Mauritius Foreign Minister Jaya Krishna Cuttaree, favoured by India, and Uruguayan WTO veteran Carlos Perez del Castillo, backed by Australia.
The WTO General Council will nominate a new WTO director general on 31 May 2005 at the latest, with the winner starting work on 1 September. The four candidates have been in the race for the presidency of the international trade organisation since 31 December 2004.
The previous mandate, of six years, was split between Thai Supachai Panitchpakdi (who has been in charge since 2002) and New Zealander Mike Moore. Each served a three-year term in an unprecedented compromise deal.

Robot snakes may one day explore Mars
Mars is essentially one big desert, and what do you tend to find in deserts? Snakes. There's a reason for this, so the European Space Agency-funded SERPEX project is conducting a feasibility study on how robot snakes could one day be used to explore the Red Planet. Read More
ZA architects designs buildings for Mars
Setting up house is always a pain and when that house is on Mars, it's a logistical nightmare. To make things a bit easier, Dmitry Zhuikov, Arina Ageeva, and Krassimir Krastev of ZA Architects in Germany have come up with a concept architecture for future Mars colonies, built underground by robots before the colonists arrive.

New evidence presented by Prof. Steven Benner at The Westheimer Institute for Science and Technology in Florida suggests that, billions of years ago, Mars was a much better place for the first cells to have formed compared to Earth. This gives more weight to the theory that life may have started on the Red Planet and then found its way to Earth aboard a meteorite. Read More
Curiosity goes autonomous for the first time
NASA took the metaphorical training wheels off the Mars rover Curiosity on Tuesday, as the unmanned explorer took its first drive using autonomous navigation. It used its onboard cameras and software to select and drive over an area of ground that mission control at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California couldn't see and vet beforehand. This capability allows the nuclear-powered rover to negotiate the most direct route to Mount Sharp rather than having to detour to find routes that can be seen directly by Curiosity before entering, so they can be analyzed by mission control.

Top 10 milestones of Curiosity's first year on Mars
Today, NASA paid tribute to its Curiosity rover, which has completed its first year exploring the planet Mars. On August 6, 2012 (August 5, PDT), the unmanned explorer landed on the Red Planet as the start of a two-year mission to seek out areas where life might have once, or could still exist. To commemorate this event, the space agency broadcast reminiscences by Curiosity team members from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. What follows is our own look at the top 10 milestones of Curiosity's first year. Read More
A dozen inventors have received a chance to demonstrate the potential for their pet space projects as winners of NASA's 2013 Innovative Advanced Concepts Program Phase I awards.

Read on for a closer look at some of the most promising proposals with a view to how they would work, and where the tricky bits might be hiding. Read More
While the Mars rovers Curiosity and Opportunity continue to set new records, NASA is looking at its next mission to the surface of the Red Planet. On Tuesday, the space agency released a 154-page report by the Mars 2020 Science Definition Team, which sets out the objectives and preliminary design of the probe scheduled to be sent to Mars in 2020. It's main task will be to seek out areas where life might exist and return samples to Earth. Read More
After over six months exploring the Glenelg area of Gale Crater on Mars, NASA's Curiosity rover is on the move. The nuclear-powered robot began a months-long drive on July 4, which will take it to Mount Sharp to fulfill the major part of its its two-year mission to seek out areas where life could have, or still could, exist on the Red Planet. Read More
On Wednesday, NASA unveiled a rather large postcard sent back from Mars by the Curiosity rover. It's in the form a panoramic image packing more than one billion pixels that was stitched together from 896 images. NASA sees the gigapixel image as a way for "armchair explorers" to take a close-up look at the Red Planet by means of an interactive webpage. Read More
Scientists looking for life on Mars are studying the driest desert on Earth. This month, Carnegie Mellon University's Zoë robot will traverse Chile's near-uninhabitable Atacama Desert as part of an astrobiology experiment aimed at testing technologies and techniques for NASA's next rover to search for life on Mars at the end of the decade.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Waivers of Inadmissibility – Hardship Waivers
Applying for a Hardship Waiver is a means by which an individual facing deportation is able to remain in the United States. Teplen Law Group has won many landmark cases that have resulted in the cancellation of removal proceedings, permitting the individual to remain in the United States.
According to US immigration law, certain circumstances make an individual inadmissible for entry into the US. These circumstances are most often because of previous criminal history or because an individual accrued an unlawful or illegal presence. However, if they are able to demonstrate that their deportation would inflict a hardship on a US citizen or legal permanent resident, this inadmissibility may be waived, and they are granted a hardship waiver.
Is a Hardship Waiver Available For Me?
In these types of cases, it is absolutely essential to work with an experienced and competent attorney, who is well-versed in the preparation of hardship waivers and who is able to determine whether an individual qualifies for this kind of deportation relief.
Individuals who have been in the US illegally are subject to a 10 year bar on re-entry to the United States. However, most immigration law requires that those who entered the country illegally undergo visa processing in their home countries, at which point the 10 year bar is often triggered.
Generally speaking the individual may obtain a waiver of the 10 year bar, if he/she can demonstrate that a US citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR) qualifying relative would suffer extreme hardship should the individual not be granted a waiver of inadmissibility.
Certain criminal grounds of inadmissibility may also be waived, including crimes involving moral turpitude, a single offence for simple possession of marijuana under 30 grams, multiple criminal convictions, some serious criminal offences and prostitution and commercial vice.
The essential element of all waiver considerations is whether inadmissibility to the United States would result in extreme hardship to a US citizen or LPR qualifying relative. A knowledgeable immigration attorney will be able to determine if the criteria of a particular case makes an individual eligible for a waiver.
Who is a Qualifying Relative?
The qualifying relative, for purposes of hardship, differs depending on the grounds of inadmissibility being waived. Individuals subject to a bar of admission due to unlawful presence can have the bar waived if they can demonstrate extreme hardship to a US citizen or LPR spouse or parent.
Children are not qualifying relatives for purposes of unlawful presence waivers.
Children are, however, qualifying relatives for purposes of waivers for criminal grounds of inadmissibility. Therefore, if the individual can demonstrate extreme hardship to a US citizen or LPR child, spouse or parent, he/she can possibly obtain a waiver of inadmissibility.
However while children are not qualifying relatives for purposes of unlawful presence or fraud waivers, it still should be argued that hardship to the children is imputed to the qualifying relative, (usually the spouse), because what the child suffers, adds to the qualifying relative's extreme hardship. For example, if the child has a medical issue, the child's hardship causes added emotional strain on the qualifying relative including medical bills, time off from work, and psychological distress.
What is "Extreme Hardship?"
US immigration law does not define extreme hardship. United States Customs and Immigration (USCIS) sets forth a few factors considered as "hardship," including health, financial consideration, educational considerations and personal considerations, but it does not actually define "extreme hardship."
Generally speaking, USCIS adheres to the opinion that most individuals, who are deported, will suffer some degree of economic hardship. Thus, using this factor alone will never be sufficient as a showing of extreme hardship. Conditions in an individual's home country are relevant in determining hardship, such as adverse economic and political situations, but they must rise to an extreme level. High rates of crime in the home country may also serve as one factor in determining extreme hardship. To be stronger, the hardship should also be demonstrated or shown in the aggregate whenever possible.
The strongest arguments for hardship waivers are made using a combination of different, comprehensive factors. For a hardship waiver application to have the best chance of success, factors such as advanced age, severe illness, family ties, and possible persecution or harm etc. when combined with the economic component, would appear to offer the strongest argument.
New Stateside Provisional Waiver Procedures
Provisional hardship waivers were introduced under rulemaking proposed by USCIS on March 30, 2012. (The rulemaking is not final as yet.)
Although the hardship waiver application discussed here is currently available, an individual must still depart the US and undergo visa processing in their home country. If granted a provisional waiver here in the United States, the individual must still return to their home country but time spent away from their family would be considerably lower. Most importantly, an individual would know in advance before departing the US, whether the waiver of inadmissibility was granted, significantly improving the chances of being granted a new visa (assuming that no other grounds of inadmissibility exist.)
It is important to note that this new procedure when finally implemented does not change the existing standards for unlawful presence and extreme hardship.

|Issue Date:
|Babooram, M., Mullan, B., & Sharpe, L. (2010). Children's understandings of mediated health campaigns for childhood obesity. Nutrition & Food Science, 40(3), 289-298.
|Purpose: The present study investigated children's understandings of the intent and importance of current media initiatives designed to target childhood obesity. Semi structured interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis, for the responses of overweight and normal weight children. Methodology: Thirty-three children were interviewed, 24 of normal weight and 9 overweight. They were shown 2 print and 4 television advertisements from the New South Wales Health Department website that were popularly broadcast between 2003-2007. Children were then asked if they had seen the advertisement prior to the interview, and their understanding of the intent and importance of the advertisements. Findings: Most children in both weight groups recalled seeing 5 out of the 6 presented advertisements prior to interview. The main themes identified were 'Health Maintenance' and 'Illness Prevention' for 5 of the 6 advertisements. Overweight children were more numerous in their detection of a health message as opposed to normal weight children who mostly commented on the safety aspect of advertisement 6. Practical implications: Future evaluations of mediated health campaigns should go beyond recording simple recall of campaign material and investigate instead the understandings of target groups. Mediated health campaigns should also specify messages to particular target groups, as they appear to be most likely to facilitate behaviour change. Originality/value: Mediated health campaigns are mostly evaluated quantitatively rather than by qualitative means. In addition, no study has evaluated the views of overweight and normal weight children with regards to these health campaigns.

In a grim reflection of what's going on south of the border, the Canadian government will be considering a personhood motion in parliament at the end of April and will be voting on it in late spring or early fall. Motion 312, coined by Conservative MP and anti-choice activist Stephen Woodworth of Kitchener Centre, is a motion to make fetuses be considered as people under the law in an attempt to re-criminalize abortion.
This is bloody ridiculous.
Canadian law already states that a fetus does not become a person until it leaves the womb – perfectly reasonable, absolutely nothing wrong with that. This preserves the rights of pregnant people (most anti-choice people think that only women become pregnant, completely ignorant of the fact that trans men exist), something that's important and actually recalls that someone becoming pregnant doesn't suddenly stop being a person.
If Motion 312 is passed, this will change, and the anti-choice ("pro-life") groups will win one stage of their war against bodily autonomy.
Say NO to Motion 312; sign the petition, send a letter to your MP, keep this circulating. Let Canada know that this exists and that it is an issue. Read and share the reasons against Motion 312 and let our voices be heard: the government does not belong in your uterus, or in mine, and it needs to leave the laws alone, as they are. A fetus is not a person. Until a fetus is born and can exist outside the womb, it cannot be a person.
If you are for Motion 312, you are against me. You are against everyone in Canada that could ever become pregnant. You are telling us that we are not capable of deciding what's right for ourselves and our bodies and you are the enemy.
When a person becomes pregnant, they do not suddenly cease to be their own person – they do not suddenly need to give up everything for what's growing inside them. They do not need to face prosecution for, say, a miscarriage, something going wrong with their health, anything that threatens the fetus – no, the fetus should not come first. There is something wrong with us as a society when we start trying to protect a fetus instead of the person carrying it.
Stand for choice. Vote NO on Motion 312 and let that anti-choice jerk know exactly what you think of his attempts to invade your uterus.
This seriously makes me want to get my tubes tied now as opposed to when I become sexually active. Seriously.

Please tell me how to talk to the masks in the mayor's house to be able to return the last book to the library. Thanks so much.
Games Guru: You don't need to talk to the masks. Just run into the wall under each of the masks to make them fall.
Could you tell me where all the wall kingstone fusions are? Also, how do I get to the minish in the library?
Games Guru: That would be a very large answer, as there are more than 40 kinstones here.
How do you beat the Fortress of Wind?
Games Guru: It's a big place. Where exactly are you in it?
How do you get past the third dungeon?
Games Guru: Please write back and let me know the name of the area you wish to get through. Do you mean the Fortress of Winds?
Are there any secret codes for this game?
Games Guru: There are no secret codes for this game. There are, however, a number of tricks that can help you along through the game. Here are two of my favorites:
An endless supply of rupees awaits just outside of Link's house. Once you have the mole mitts, take Link home and have him dig to the left of his front door. You will find 20 rupees. In fact, there will always be 20 rupees in that spot, so just come back any time you need some cash. Better yet, go in the house and come back out, and 20 more rupees will be waiting every time you step out that door.
Want a double shot of life just when you need it most? You can catch two fairies in one empty bottle if you go to the tree with the door in South Hyrule Field. Enter the tree and go to the room with the fairies, stand in the center of that room and wait for the fairies to come within range. You need to catch both fairies with one swing of the bottle, so make sure to wait until two fairies are flying around you at the same time, then swing the bottle.

A Prescription For the Health Care Crisis – Health
With all the shouting going on about America's health care crisis, many are probably finding it difficult to concentrate, much less understand the cause of the problems confronting us. I find myself dismayed at the tone of the discussion (though I understand it—people are scared) as well as bemused that anyone would presume themselves sufficiently qualified to know how to best improve our health care system simply because they've encountered it, when people who've spent entire careers studying it (and I don't mean politicians) aren't sure what to do themselves.
Albert Einstein is reputed to have said that if he had an hour to save the world he'd spend 55 minutes defining the problem and only 5 minutes solving it. Our health care system is far more complex than most who are offering solutions admit or recognize, and unless we focus most of our efforts on defining its problems and thoroughly understanding their causes, any changes we make are just likely to make them worse as they are better.
Though I've worked in the American health care system as a physician since 1992 and have seven year's worth of experience as an administrative director of primary care, I don't consider myself qualified to thoroughly evaluate the viability of most of the suggestions I've heard for improving our health care system. I do think, however, I can at least contribute to the discussion by describing some of its troubles, taking reasonable guesses at their causes, and outlining some general principles that should be applied in attempting to solve them.
No one disputes that health care spending in the U.S. has been rising dramatically. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), health care spending is projected to reach $ 8,160 per person per year by the end of 2009 compared to the $ 356 per person per year it was in 1970. This increase occurred roughly 2.4% faster than the increase in GDP over the same period. Though GDP varies from year-to-year and is therefore an imperfect way to assess a rise in health care costs in comparison to other expenditures from one year to the next, we can still conclude from this data that over the last 40 years the percentage of our national income (personal, business, and governmental) we've spent on health care has been rising.
Despite what most assume, this may or may not be bad. It all depends on two things: the reasons why spending on health care has been increasing relative to our GDP and how much value we've been getting for each dollar we spend.

Controversial artist Tracey Emin is being investigated by Scotland Yard's Obscene Publication Unit, after complaints were made about two pieces she is displaying as a curator of The Royal Academy of Arts.
The two controversial pieces that Emin is displaying as part of the academy's summer exhibition are The Old Fashioned Way, by Mat Collishaw, which depicts a zebra having sex with a woman. And there is also a photomontage by Elke Krystu which features a naked woman menstruating in front of a group of toddlers.
If the Obscene Publication Unit decide the works are illegal they will have to be removed or Emin and the Academy would face prosecution.

LISDOM ponders it...This makes for an intriguing discussion: in some instances, like tomorrow when I give a presentation to librarians in Australia, the world seems amazingly flat. In others, there is a great disparity.
Friedman, toward the end of the book, concedes that the world is not truly "flat" but advances and shifts in the global economy are certainly making it seem that way.Posted by Michael at September 12, 2005 08:53 AM | TrackBack
