(Updates with Israeli response in seventh paragraph.)
Oct. 6 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. opposed a Palestinian effort to gain full membership in the United Nations agency that promotes education, culture and science.
The 40 members of Unesco's executive board agreed yesterday to put the Palestinian request to a vote when the agency's 193 members meet at the end of October. The motion must be approved by a two-thirds majority. The U.S., Germany, Romania and Latvia voted against the request, while 14 members abstained.
With Middle East peace talks stalled, Palestinians are pursuing recognition as a full member state at the United Nations and elevated status in other international bodies, including the World Trade Organization and the Council of Europe. The U.S. has opposed these steps, describing them as a distraction from a return to peace talks.
"If you care about the fate of Palestinians, if you want them to get a state, this is a diversion," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said at a briefing in Washington.
The Palestinian request to be recognized as a member state by the UN is now with the Security Council. Meanwhile, the so- called Quartet of the U.S., European Union, United Nations and Russia is pushing for talks to resume by the end of October.
Negotiations stalled shortly after they began in September 2010. Palestinians balked at returning to talks after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to extend a freeze on settlement building in the Palestinian territories. U.S., EU and UN envoys have shuttled to the region since then, to little effect.
'Negative Response'
Israel criticized the vote and said membership in the cultural organization would not advance the goal of Palestinian statehood.
"The Palestinians' actions at Unesco negate both the bilateral negotiations route and the Quartet's proposal for continuing the diplomatic process," the Israeli Foreign Ministry said in a statement on its website. "Their actions are a negative response to Israel's and the international community's efforts to promote the peace process."
The chairman of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, Florida Republican Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, and the chairwoman of the House State and Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee, Texas Republican Kay Granger, have raised strong objections to the Unesco vote.
U.S. Funds
Both lawmakers have called for cutting off U.S. funding for any UN entity that recognizes the Palestinians. According to Nuland, the U.S. currently supplies 22 percent of Unesco's funding.
"Since April, I have made it clear to the Palestinian leadership that I would not support sending U.S. taxpayer money to the Palestinians if they sought statehood at the United Nations," Granger said in a statement.
"Feeling that their efforts at the UN Security Council will fail, the Palestinian leadership is shopping around the UN system for recognition," Ros-Lehtinen said. "This attempt to rig the process needs to be stopped dead in its tracks."

Comments about Elemis Think Pink Beauty Heroes ($145 Value), 1 ea:
I love the marine face cream. It's super creamy and smells yummy. I have used it for 5 days/nights now and it works nicely. I like the neck cream as well, but do not like the way it smells. Very herbal. The pro balm stuff works nicely but smells the worst! It's kinda gross, but not so bad that I gag. Overall, I would recommend this kit. I have used better, but they were alot more expensive. I also have the ginger toner and tri something cleanser. It's a good product line.
- Skin Type:
- Dry
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Dr. Rajiv Shah leads the efforts of nearly 10,000 staff in more than 70 countries around the world to advance USAID's mission of ending extreme poverty and promoting resilient, democratic societies.
Under Dr. Shah's leadership, USAID has applied innovative technologies and engaged the private sector to solve the world's most intractable development challenges. This new model of development brings together an increasingly diverse community—from large companies to local civil society groups to communities of faith—to deliver meaningful results.
Dr. Shah leads President Obama's landmark Feed the Future and Power Africa initiatives and has refocused America's global health partnerships to end preventable child death. Feed the Future, alone, has improved nutrition for 12 million children and empowered more than 7 million farmers with climate-smart tools they need to grow their way out of extreme poverty. In April 2014, USAID launched the U.S. Global Development Lab to harness the expertise of the world's brightest scientists, students, and entrepreneurs. At the same time, the newly formed Private Capital Group for Development forges a more strategic relationship between private capital and development.
Dr. Shah also manages the U.S. Government's humanitarian response to catastrophic crises around the world, from the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
Through an extensive set of reforms called "USAID Forward," Dr. Shah has worked with the United States Congress to transform USAID into the world's premier development Agency that prioritizes public-private partnerships, innovation, and meaningful results. He currently serves on the boards of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation and the Millennium Challenge Corporation, as well as participates on the National Security Council.
Previously, Dr. Shah served as Undersecretary and Chief Scientist in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he created the National Institute for Food and Agriculture. Prior to joining the Obama Administration, he spent eight years at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where he led efforts in global health, agriculture, and financial services, including the creation of the International Finance Facility for Immunization.
He is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, and the Wharton School of Business. He regularly appears in the media and has delivered keynote addresses before the U.S. Military Academy, the National Prayer Breakfast, and diverse audiences across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Dr. Shah was awarded the Distinguished Service Award by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He has served as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, been named to Fortune's 40 Under 40, and has received multiple honorary degrees.
He lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife Shivam Mallick Shah and three children and has given up mountain climbing for family bicycle rides.
MRS. OBAMA: Thank you everyone. Thanks so much. (Applause.) You all take a load off your feet because you work hard enough. (Laughter.) It is truly a pleasure to be here. This is a big agency. This is good. (Laughter.) I think this is one of my largest agency visits. This is really wonderful.
I want to start by thanking Raj for that wonderful introduction, but more so for everything that he's doing here.
Professor Tesar, thank you for that introduction and the invitation to return to U-M.
Being back on campus brings back memories of my own graduation day. Ann Arbor in bloom, everyone in gowns, the marching, the music … and the speech by some guy I'd never heard of.
You know, on the way here this afternoon, I took a detour to the Michigan Union to have a look at the bronze plaque beside the steps.
Thank you so much for being here. This panel really does present an exciting opportunity to have a discussion with some key entrepreneurial leaders in the social sector, the business sector, here at home in the United States, and all around the world. One of the top concerns that entrepreneurs have articulated everywhere, and perhaps more so in the last few years because of what's been happening in our financial markets, is access to capital.
MR. CROWLEY: Good afternoon and welcome to the Department of State. We've got a couple of weary travelers here: Jack Lew, our Deputy Secretary of State; and Raj Shah, our Administrator of USAID. Raj got back in Washington last night, having visited first Afghanistan and then Pakistan. Jack Lew got back at 10 –
DEPUTY SECRETARY LEW: Ten o'clock this morning.
Thank you, it's wonderful to have the opportunity to be here and it is really wonderful to spend time today honoring the Development Credit Authority. I had the chance to walk through the EGAT Bureau and meet with teams there, and John you weren't there, but I did get a chance to meet with the DCA team, and it was very exciting for me because I've spent a lot of time, and I'll speak to this, seeing the DCA work in action, and I want to make an important point about that. But John, I want to thank you and the DCA team for having me here.
RAJIV SHAH: Well, good afternoon and thank you for joining us today. Today marks two months since the earthquake in Haiti. And in the days and weeks that followed the earthquake, the president was very clear with us. President Obama asked for a swift, aggressive and coordinated response on behalf of the entire U.S. government. And in fact, so many agencies from across this government, including the one you're in today, USAID, stood up to respond to that challenge.
Administrator Shah: Thank you.
We come today in partnership and in the spirit of cooperation both to mourn the tremendous loss of life and the tremendous suffering that's been incurred from this terrible tragic earthquake on its near one month anniversary.
We also come to continue our dialogue with the government of Haiti and to continue to learn what we can do to help support the people of Haiti and to help carry out President Obama's commitment to serve the people of Haiti as effectively, as swiftly, and as aggressively as possible.
Administrator Shah: Good morning. It has been one month now since the devastating earthquake in Haiti on January 12th, and Haiti's humanitarian crisis is far from over. The challenges remain significant, and as Haiti enters a three day period of mourning for the loss of life, the tremendous loss of life, we stand together with Haiti in mourning that loss and respectfully taking note of this tragedy.
MR. CROWLEY: Good afternoon and welcome to the Department of State. It's been a couple of weeks since two of our most senior officials working on Haiti policy have visited with you, so we thought we'd start up with kind of a Haiti update briefing with our chief of staff, Counselor Cheryl Mills, and the Administrator of USAID Raj Shah. And then we'll pick up on other subjects after that.
MS. MILLS: Thank you so much. Oh look, the waters are even labeled by our agencies. That's nice.
BETSY BASSAN: It is now my pleasure to briefly introduce our tribute speaker, Dr. Rajiv Shah, USAID administrator. Administrator Shah today celebrates his third week in the position - (applause) - and I'm sure he is saying, what a three weeks it has been. Given all that Administrator Shah has been doing to coordinate the government's Haiti relief effort, we are truly honored that he has taken the time to be with us tonight.

RTD fare increases are better for everyone: Kenny Be's Worst-Case Scenario
Look on the bright side of fare increases and service changes...
Denverites pay a lot of money to vacation abroad. With the new service reductions going into effect, overcrowded RTD buses will make the trip from Park Hill into downtown seem like an exotic adventure in Budapest or Mumbai. Below, see how crowded buses are perfect for people who need both hands to use their new smart phones and computer tablets.
Hands-free computing is available to commuters sandwiched between strap hangers.
As shown in the illustration above, there is less chance of losing your balance and falling down when passengers are packed on board like sardines. Plus, overcrowded buses create greater people-watching opportunities!
Sassy mass-transportation-haters get slapped back below.

"Very happy with my purchase of Stenciled Scholar announcements. Had them done in red with a black and white photo (school colors). Love the stencil look. Great quality! Got lots of compliments."
"The only real problem with this card was trying to decide which design to use. The quality of the paper is very nice. It feels and looks expensive. Very easy to use as well. I love using Tiny Prints."
"I wanted a unique, simple card that would stand out from the sea of mini-collages typically used for graduation announcements. This design was exactly what I hoped to find! I used a black and white photo of my son as a young child on the cover, a color photo of my son as he is today (really handsome, as objective as only a mom can be) and as a surprise on the back of the card, included a tiny cap & gown headshot of my son when he graduated pre-K with a small caption "Proud Graduate of..." The technical customer support team was extremely helpful when I ran into a problem with one of the photos. In fact, credit goes to the customer service rep who suggested adding the little surprise photo on the back of the card. I received many compliments from family and friends on how much they loved the announcement. The highest praise came from the toughest critic...my son :)"
"Everything turn out beautiful, the picture , the quality it outstanding , fast and easy to order, i have to reorder more and costumer service is just wonderful to talk too."
"I really liked the design of this card, and it was very easy to use. The paper quality was just right, and there were enough choices to personalize it. I would recommend more color than the photo I chose. Picking the special envelopes didn't show up until the very end of the order confirmation, and I spent more time trying to figure that out. I guess in my mind that would show up earlier in the ordering process."

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

I just got all moved back home last weekend! I have a couple weeks before my internship starts, so I'm going to try to squeeze in as many DIY projects as I can until then. I've got to clean a couple chairs I found on Craigslist (any tips for cleaning fabric would be greatly appreciated!), spruce up a little dresser (and possibly repurpose it), repaint a TV stand, and replace the drawer pulls on another dresser. I have a few small DIY projects in mind too, so keep an eye out!
Summer always feels like a second chance to me. Most people try to get in shape before summer to look good in a swimsuit. I, on the other hand, want to use the summer to try to get in shape for the next school year. I don't live anywhere near a beach, our family vacation this year is to Denver so I don't have to worry about how I look in a bikini, and I don't see hardly anyone I know besides my family during the summer. The good news is I didn't gain any weight this past school year! That really shouldn't be such a big deal, but this whole "becoming a woman" thing was starting to turn into a "no, actually I'm just eating too much" thing. Yeah, I got hips and boobs a few years ago, but that twenty pounds I gained since high school isn't exactly excusable. Anyway. Here are some goals.

Salesforce.com Unveils ContentExchange Software
Seeking to broaden its base of subscribers beyond sales and marketing types, Salesforce.com (CRM) is rolling out a new product it says will drastically improve the ability to find information on corporate networks.
The San Francisco-based company unveiled ContentExchange on Tuesday, a new addition to its portfolio of online business software.
By using many of the concepts popularized by Web 2.0 consumer sites, such as user-generated ratings and tags, Salesforce says it has developed a service that will make retrieving corporate data much more intuitive and efficient than the current system of files and folders.
"We are another step towards our vision of managing all information on demand," CEO Marc Benioff said in a statement.Salesforce said the technology for its new product comes from a small San Mateo, Calif., company called Koral, which it acquired for an undisclosed sum in March. Salesforce.com's traditional products allow a corporation's employees to quickly share and access "structured" data -- information that is already stored within giant databases. Those applications are typically geared toward things like customer service and sales, because the databases contain customer contact information, sales leads and so forth. The advantage of the new product, says Salesforce, is its ability to interconnect so-called unstructured content, anything from email messages to Powerpoint presentations. Employees can tag their documents with various labels, descriptions and ratings that make it easy for other workers to retrieve the information.

2012 University Co-op / George H. Mitchell Undergraduate Awards For Academic Excellence
Recipient of $20,000 Award:
George Miller
Category: Science and Technology
Senior, Astronomy / Plan II
Nominator: Don Winget, Astronomy
To put it bluntly- George led the UT team that collaborated with an international consortium (including astronomers from Germany, Chile, the United States, and the United Kingdom) on the discovery of two new planets. This resulted in first-authorship of a paper and a world-wide press release. The paper details the discovery of a planetary system containing a least two massive planets orbiting the binary star system NN Serpentis. The two stars in this system are joined in a very tight orbit and are of different sizes – one is a small but very hot white dwarf (just 2.3 times larger than Earth but burning at 50,000 degrees Kelvin) and the other is a larger, but cooler star with a mass only one-tenth that of the Sun. Because of the disturbing effects of a binary star system's gravity, such systems are very difficult to explore.
But, because Earth lies in the same plane as this binary star system, observers on Earth can regularly see the eclipse which occurs when the larger star moves in front of the smaller one (every 3 hours and seven minutes). This regular change in the brightness of the system acts like a very precise light clock- a clock that allowed detection of even minor variations in brightness that weren't explained only by the two stars orbiting each other. Variations that resulted in the discovery of these two planets. The planets discovered by this method were the first of their kind, and dynamically similar to outer planets in our own solar system.
Many of the eclipse timing observations were obtained in West Texas, on the 2.1-meter Otto Struve Telescope and the 1.2-meter MONET telescope at McDonald Observatory – which George is the local expert on. George has become such an integral part of the science occurring at the McDonald observatory in West Texas that he supports and trains scientists and students alike. He has developed software, scripts and even hardware to improve the usefulness of several of the telescopes, resulting in validated and verifiable data on multiple additional projects.
Recipients of $5,000 Awards:
Seth Whitsitt
Category: Science and Technology
Senior, Physics
Nominator: Gregory Fiete, Physics
The greatest minds the planet has ever known have been drawn to theoretical physics, which is arguably the most intellectually demanding of the scientific disciplines. Seth Whitsitt deserves a George Mitchell undergraduate award because of what he has already achieved in theoretical physics, and for what he will no doubt achieve throughout his scientific career. His recommender said it best, "Seth will bring high value to the Mitchell award, and in my view will come to be recognized as one of the finest undergraduates to have studied at the University of Texas at Austin."
Seth works in a branch of theoretical physics that seeks to identity new quantum based properties of matter through calculations at the very limits of what is known. Working with assistant professor Gregory Fiete, Seth is the first author on a soon to be submitted paper entitled "Exact Chiral Spin Liquid and Mean-Field Perturbations of Gamma Matrix Models on the Ruby Lattice". This roughly translates into looking for new magnetic or other quantum properties of materials that are so exotic, they can only be investigated by theorists at this point. The prediction of important new properties by theoretical studies such as these are needed to inspire and refine the search for or design of actual materials that could potentially revolutionize technology in a number of fields. The amount of math and state-of-the-art quantum theory that Seth has mastered as an undergraduate to make important contributions in this area is simply breathtaking. Extrapolated to the future, one gets the sense that there is simply no limit to what Seth Whitsitt might accomplish in his graduate work and beyond.
Ramu Kharel
Category: Social Sciences
Senior, Asian Cultures & Languages
Nominator: Syed A. Hyder, Asian Studies
Ramu Kharel presents a remarkable and inspiring example of a student who has combined his passions with his talents in the service of his professional interests and the betterment of humanity. Ramu began his life journey as an impoverished child in Nepal, where basic sanitation and medical care was so poor that he lost his mother at the age of nine to an infection that we in the U.S. would overcome with a course of antibiotics. Committed to giving his child the best opportunities, his father brought Ramu to this country, where he excelled in school. Upon coming to UT, Ramu pursued a pre-med program of study, so that he could provide the very type of medical care that those in his home country so desperately need. But at the same time, Ramu realized that he loved the study of language and poetry. So he entered the Hindu-Urdu Flagship program at UT, where he not only learned two additional foreign languages, but came to master them. And then he utilized his new language skills to go overseas, to India, to both work in and write an ethnography about poor Muslim women living in one of North India's slums. Eloquent in both English and Urdu, Ramu has written a bilingual thesis, in which he provides an impassioned yet sober analysis of the particular intersections of gender, religious identity, class and politics that make the lives of these women so challenging. Also an outstanding student, Ramu has at the same time garnered admission at University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, where he will begin this fall.
Ryan Truby
Category: Science and Technology
Senior, Biomedical Engineering
Nominator: Stanislav Emelianov, Biomedical Engineering
Ryan Truby's research project in the Biomedical Engineering Department produced a novel scientific advance, a tribute to his rare combination of remarkable intelligence and imagination, plus his desire to make a difference in the ongoing fight against cancer. During his four years of undergraduate research, Ryan contributed significantly to the development of silver-coated agents for the imaging of cancer in living tissue, and he independently created hybrid nanostructures that can be used as imaging contrast agents in a method called magneto-photo-acoustic imaging. This method advances biomedical science by allowing doctors to better differentiate diseased regions from normal tissue, and it provides a valuable new tool to noninvasively diagnose and characterize pathologies such as cancer by enhancing their imaging and detection. Not surprisingly, Ryan is listed as a co-inventor on a patent recently filed with the UT Office of Technology and Commercialization. His adviser, Dr. Stanislav Emelianov, states that "the amazing progress he has made has inspired younger undergraduates, because they see what is possible when you start with a clear goal and apply yourself resolutely." He has been admitted to a top graduate program and undoubtedly has a very bright future in the biomedical field.
Recipients of $2,000 Awards:
James Salazar
Category: Science and Technology
Senior, Biomedical Engineering/Computational Biology
Nominator: Mia Markey, Biomedical Engineering
James' work in Biomedical engineering is at the forefront of his field, yet addresses fundamental questions relevant to the quality of life of breast cancer survivors. Although life expectancy for women diagnosed with breast cancer has dramatically increased, primarily due to early detection and advances in treatment, many survivors face difficult decisions about reconstructive surgery- a misnomer that actually typically involves multiple, complicated procedures that can be used in various combinations and result in very different outcomes. A recognized problem in this field is the lack of a consistent "language" with which doctors and patients can communicate about priorities for reconstruction and preferences about aesthetics. Currently, patients often must make choices without a good understanding of competing outcomes.
This work aims to provide objective, measurable characteristics that define the size and shape of breasts in order to provide a clear, unambiguous language with which doctors and patients can communicate about likely and desired surgical outcomes of reconstructive surgery. Additionally, the future of surgeries of this type lays more and more with automation and programmed parameters for repair. We fully expect that 5 years from now, we will look back on this work as being at the very forefront of, and a necessary precursor to, modern reconstructive repair strategies.
Jillian Owens
Category: Humanities

Joel Osteen is a wonder of twenty-first century America: a charismatic televangelist whose Houston ministry reaches millions of viewers weekly and the director of a business empire that generates hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue. Jillian Owens examines the Osteen phenomenon in an insightfully conceived, carefully researched and compellingly written thesis. During several months of field work, she attended services at the Lakewood Church and interviewed members of the congregation. In her thesis she analyzes Osteen's message and practices, and she concludes that his appeal is at once theological, personal and organizational. The Osteen gospel is comforting rather than challenging, and this is a secret of its success. "Even if people say it's Christianity lite, I tell you what," one of Owens's informants explains, "my life has been changed because of it."

In these politically tumultuous times, the consequences of Mexican immigration to the United States are well-studied and understood. What is less clear is the effect of this emigration on Mexico. In this innovative study, Jean Nava explores exactly this phenomenon. He finds that as much as 10 percent of Mexico's population resides in the United States. In a wonderful mix of passion, qualitative analysis, and heavy duty quantitative analysis, Nava shows that the effect on these Mexican subregions can be fairly substantial. Given the tilt toward male emigrants, these regions in Mexico will have a skewed male-to-female balance in both social and employment structures. As a consequence of this thoughtful study, we will never think about Mexican immigration to the United States without thinking of the effect also on Mexico.

Professor Andrew Oswald at the University of Warwick, one of the researchers, said "Consumption of calories has gone up but that does not tell us why people are eating more. Some have argued that obesity has been produced by cheaper food, but if fatness is a response to greater purchasing power, why do we routinely observe that rich people are thinner than poor people?"
He said: "A lot of research into obesity, which has emphasized sedentary lifestyles or human biology or fast-food, has missed the key point. Rising obesity needs to be thought of as a sociological phenomenon not a physiological one. People are influenced by relative comparisons, and norms have changed and are still changing."
However, the authors found a significant gender split. Females were much more prone, for any given BMI value, to feel overweight. For European women, weight dissatisfaction and overweight perceptions depended crucially upon not just their own absolute BMI, but also upon their BMI relative to other women of exactly the same age in their country.
