Girls basketball: Blayr Poston returns to help Hanover keep PCC Kup
By Will Culbertson Post-Tribune correspondent January 5, 2013 6:12PM
Updated: February 7, 2013 6:50AM
VALPARAISO — Coming off holiday break it would have been really easy for Doug Nelson's Hanover Central team to come out flat in enemy territory Saturday afternoon.
But that's not what happened as the Wildcats cruised to a 51-35 victory over Morgan Township in Porter County Conference play to keep possession of the traveling PCC Kup.
"We tried to emphasize coming over here to Morgan Township, not because it was a trap game necessarily, but more of a trap situation," Nelson said. "These Saturday afternoon games are kind of hard to get fired up for and you have a tendency to fall asleep and that's why we wanted to come out and take it to them instead of the other way around."
The Wildcats (8-4, 2-1 PCC) jumped out to a 14-4 first quarter lead and never looked back. Sophomore Hannah Blue helped set the tone scoring seven of her 10 points in the opening quarter.
In her first game back following a wrist injury, senior Blayr Poston led Hanover Central with 14 points which included 8-10 shooting from the charity stripe.
Free throws were the difference as the Wildcats were 20 of 29 (69 percent) at the line against the Cherokees' 25 percent.
"We've talked about getting to the free throw line all season," Nelson said. "In the past, we we're getting lazy and settling for the outside shot but today we did a better job of attacking and getting to the basket."
Morgan Township (6-8, 1-3 PCC) struggled to score, shooting only 36 percent on 16 of 45 from the field. The lone bright spot for the Cherokees was junior Trina Coleman, who had a game-high 16 points.
Nelson praised sophomore guard Frankie Turturillo's development throughout this season.
"She getting better and better at setting the tempo and controlling this offense to do what we want it to do," he said.

Our Work
Summer Bus
The RTA are always running promotional campaigns for driver awareness and safety. Two such campaigns were Summer Bus and Bike week. WISDOM was commissioned to create artwork for each of these campaigns. WISDOM chose to use illustration to do this.
WISDOM created a logo for the Summer Bus that would appeal to young adults. The branding focused on "fun" rather than the shock messages of other anti drink driving campaigns.
Bike Week promoted safe bike riding, wearing bike helmets, bright clothing and visibility flags. Once again, WISDOM created fun and bright illustration for this campaign, to send a message that a simple photograph could not have.

That was awesome, but extremely upsetting at the same time.
Yeah, I agree.
I'm not religious at all and tbh i'm not THAT much of an anime fan, but i loved this clip for the emotion. It really got you right in the heart. @_@ Love itttt.
Definitely. It was definitely very touching! Gotta admit though, it was really hard to watch at some parts... Who in the world decided that crucifixion was a good way to execute criminals??? It's just absolutely brutal. I dont think I realized how excruciatingly painful it would be until I watched this...
He should have used hokuto ujo ken
I dunno, I like to immerse myself in the worlds brutal history. People did this to other people. People like you and me. How anyone could do anything that horrific to another human being is beyond me, whether Jesus existed or not, Crucifixion was real. I may be wrong, but I'm not sure if they actually did nail the hands and feet. I think they basically just tied them up and waited for their bodies to collapse into themselves. Although crucifixion was also used in Japan as well as the Roman empire, so I may be getting mixed up. Also, interesting tidbit, and I only know this cause I'm Scottish, but St Andrew was also crucified but on an X, hence our flag 'St Andrews Cross.'
BUT YEAH. Awesome anime, not gonna lie I teared up a few times and actually grimaced at the absolute horror of the wounds. Very well done indeed. Don't know why this isn't more popular.
Actually its a misconception, they nailed the wrist and attached the feet with a rope. Its a common christian misconception as most images of christ have the nails on the hands, but its being proved countless of time that they placed the nails on the wrist, which make a horrible "electrical" pain in the whole body and its a good way to attach someone to something as the wrist has a little opening between its bones.
Also, they didn't crucify to execute the criminals (which weren't every criminal), because crucified people died by starvation or thirst. I read one time that some people used to give water and food to crucified people to make them live longer.
Finally, apparently crucification was a praxis from the old jew traditions to the most horrible criminals, a little like how stoning people was that too. But I find it way more interesting how torture evolve in the latest years with medieval times and christianity (which basically supported the most horrible crimes to humanity). But to not blame everything on christians and jewish, greeks also had some pretty gross executions, like the brazen bull where the victim was placed inside a bronze bull and then heated with a stove.

Steampunk Xbox Knows What Time It is
There's been a lot of fascinating steampunk gear turning up lately, but none quite so unique as MissLadyVenom's work in progress at deviantART. Getting the steam-powered treatment this time is an Xbox–not the 360, but the hulking original model.
The size of the Xbox makes it a prime candidate for an elaborate, larger-than-life steampunk project like this. The mod isn't finished yet–the Xbox has been painted, aged, and equipped with a clock–but it's already been through a lot to achieve this brassy look.
I'd really love to see one of those giant original Xbox controllers modded along with the console, but perhaps that will come in time. Here's the faceplate, in progress, and in another photo at deviantART, you can see where MissLadyVenom has crafted some molding to add to the mod to give the Xbox the appearance of wooden scrollwork. The finished project is apt to be quite gorgeous indeed.

Very cool xbox….
Looks like it can keep track of time better than my 360 does. Seems like every time I turn around that thing is set to November 22nd, 2005…
yeh mine too man, howd you sort it?
>_> You just made my day when I randomly discovered this.. Now I want to go back and put the finishing touches on it and post the final version and work on the controllers. ^-^
seriously that is the most shocking attempt at steampunk iv'e ever seen, just sticking your kitchens clock doesn't make it steampunk. Hopefully you will burn this disgrace to both xbox and steampunk
after looking at this i totally wanted to take a knife to my eyes rip them out rip my balls out and switch them around

Most Useful Social Networks for Marketers
Marketers are spending, on average, six or more hours per week on social media. Facebook and LinkedIn are cited as the most important social networks, depending on whether you are a B to C or a B to B company. Twitter is a distant third for both segments of companies and both mention blogging as being important to them.
Marketing Nugget bottomline for Marketers: Invest in social media. If you are focusing on B to C, invest more marketing efforts into Facebook. If you are a B to B company, invest more marketing efforts into LinkedIn and blogging.

HARDWICK – The Lady Rangers traveled to Hazen Union, Saturday morning, to face-off against the Lady Wildcats, in a wet and sloppy soccer match. Lake Region got down early as Hazen would score just over 1 minute into the contest. Tyrah Urie would knot the game at 1-1 with a successful Penalty Kick at the 18 minute mark, but it would be short-lived as Hazen would go on to add a 2nd goal with 11 minutes remaining in the half to take a 2-1 lead.
WELLS RIVER–The Lady Chargers soccer team picked up a big 3-2 victory over Blue Mountain High School Friday night. Craftsbury got their 1st goal of the game thanks to Emily Jones, assisted by Meghan Brown. Brown would add the 2nd goal of the game, converting a pass from Melanie Sergiev. Late in the contest Sergiev would score a goal of her own, giving Craftsbury a 3-2 lead and sealing the win. Emma Spiese stopped 9 saves in the winning effort.
SARAH ROY UCA Girls Head Coach We lost our first game to Winooski, with a score of 3-0. I actually thought we had some great effort by our players in that game. We were really just outmatched physically - Winooski's roster includes 12 Juniors or Seniors, compared to our 4. Size and strength was a big factor in that game, along with our inexperience. However, every situation is a chance to learn and improve, and that, we are doing.
EAST MONTPELIER–The North Country boys and girls cross country teams both took home 3rd place overall at the U32 XC Invitational last Saturday. In an odd coincidence both teams ended up with a total of 113 points in their respective finishes. Middlebury (65 pts) set the pace in the girls division, Bellows Free Academy (80 pts) coming in second and the NC girls (113pts) in third. In the boys race it was Middlebury (47 pts) again at the top of the pack with host team U32 (78 pts) in second followed by the Falcons (113pts).
NEWPORT–On a beautiful warm and sunny day, the North Country field hockey team played host to the Highlanders of Harwood for a rare Monday afternoon contest. The Falcons played much better than in their previous outing against Spaulding, but still came out on the short side of the stick with a 4-0 loss. "This is a much better game than Spaulding. They (Harwood) are a D2 team and we can walk off the field with nothing to complain about," said Coach Chantelle Bouchard.
SOUTH BURLINGTON-While the North Country Falcon offense has made the big headlines this fall, the rock ribbed defensive unit of NCU showed its teeth Saturday afternoon. The Falcons raised their record to 4-0 as they steadily wore down the home team and defending state champion Rice Green Knights on their turf.
NEWPORT–A talent laden Montpelier team paid a visit to North Country Friday night, and defeated the Falcon girls in hard fought overtime soccer contest 2-1. The Solons controlled play for the majority of the game with a combination of accurate passing and a mid field regroup that the Falcons had a hard time defending. "They have a very skilled team, we knew that, and we let them cycle around mid field," said Coach Peter Alexander, "They are so quick on the ball. We are used to trying to possess, but they were right on us."
ORLEANS– Facing a highly skilled Danville team on Thursday, the Lake Region Rangers had their hands full as they were able to hold off their opposition and pick up a 2-1 win. "To be honest, in the first half I thought we controlled the play, but were unable to change our style of play," said Coach Tom Evans. All the scoring would take place in the first half, and Danville was first on the board when Scott Remick put the ball past Alex Beauregard staking his team to a 1-0 lead.
ENOSBURG–The Lake Region girls earned a 2-0 win over Enosburg on Friday. Sarah Burnham and Tyrah Urie tallied for the Lady Rangers, and Brooke Breault had thirteen saves for the shut-out.
CANAAN -- The Craftsbury Academy boys picked up their first win of the young season with a 4-1 victory over Canaan High School Tuesday afternoon, and ran their overall record to 1-2. Jason Martin and Kyle Adams each picked up 2 goals for the Chargers en route to the victory. Andrew Marckres played outstanding in net, giving up the loan Canaan goal on a penalty kick with 8 minutes remaining in the contest. Coach Ruetz was very pleased with the way his team played and was thrill to pick up win number 1 on the season.

Almost anything could happen to a chicken wing in PS Eatery's kitchen. The culinary team could crisply fry it and dunk it in buffalo spices, or prepare it Asian-style, tossing it in fish sauce. The eatery specializes in comfort food with a twist, adding flavorful touches and Asian influences to its classic platters. The mac and cheese, for instance, comes crowned in Japanese-style panko breadcrumbs and mixed with spicy tuna. Grilled pork loins arrive sided with tasty tangles of spaghetti chow mein, and even the humble veggie burger is reinvented with six layers of yellow squash, eggplant, and zucchini, rather than the standard autumn leaves.
Claremont Diner's cozy atmosphere and generous portions of classic diner fare have earned it the loyal patronage of locals, and favorable nods from critics from the San Francisco Chronicle. As guests devour breakfasts of pancake stacks topped with powered sugar and fresh fruit, or lunches of freshly made chicken salad or the ever-popular salmon burger, an adorable miniature train set steams through the restaurant and a tiny model village. The space bursts at the seams with heartwarming Americana, with its bar counter lined with swivel stools, guests sipping root beer floats in the red vinyl booths.
Working with farmers, ranchers, merchants, and bakers, Saul's ingredient pantry is stocked with the freshest, up-to-snuff ingredients. Count on finding cage-free eggs, locally sourced produce, and high-quality meats at this certified Bay Area Green Business. Each of the three potato pancakes is crafted from wholesome ingredients, such as organic and cage-free eggs. Pair the potato-y goodness with a pitcher of local, artisanal microbrew. Like the exchange rate between cumin and paprika, Saul's selection of brews changes often. Current thirst quenchers include Sebastopol's Ace Apple Cider, SF's own Anchor Steam, and Carlsberg. Check out the drink menu here.
In 1947, owners Mel Weiss and Harold Dobbs assembled a staff of 14 carhops to serve passing motorists at the first Mel's Drive-In. For the next two decades, customers partial to automobile dining flocked to the chain's 11 California locations, eager to wash down grass-fed half-pound burgers with thick milk shakes. As fast-food outlets outpaced the drive-in's once-speedy service, its popularity declined, and it was eventually scheduled for demolition. The building got a temporary reprieve, however, when filmmaker George Lucas decided to use the drive-in's original location on Lombard Street as the colorful backdrop for his film American Graffiti. As bulldozers destroyed the last remnants of the historic drive-in, American Graffiti opened in theaters.
A decade later, though, Mel's son Steven reopened Mel's Drive-In in an attempt to carry on his father's dream. Steven restored the drive-in's multiple locations to mirror their original motif by stocking each with midcentury must-haves such as illuminated marquees, jukeboxes, and Elvis-themed WiFi passwords. The drive-in's menu, meanwhile, balances period-appropriate fare, such as hot dogs and burgers, with healthy options, such as the Haven's Famous vegetarian sandwich, two slices of nine-grain bread topped with avocado, sprouts, and tomatoes.
When Ronn Teitelbaum opened the first Johnny Rockets location in 1986, his goal was to create a restaurant where people could escape the postmodern blues of everyday life and experience a taste of time-honored Americana. The name itself is a nod to this ideal?it combines the star of a classic American fable, Johnny Appleseed, and a classic car, Oldsmobile?s beefy Rocket 88. The chain now makes itself at home in America's cultural landmarks, including Yankee Stadium and the Flamingo Hotel.
During dinners at the famous burger joints, you?ll see signs of simpler times, starting with the cooks and servers. Dressed head to toe in white, including white paper hats, they look like they?ve fallen out of a wormhole from the 1950s ready to sling shakes and cook up some eats. Behind a stainless-steel bar lined with red leather stools they tend to their traditional diner fare, including burgers and melts with sides such as chili-cheese fries and onion rings. Riding sidecar to each meal is a collection of hand-dipped and hand-spun floats, shakes, and malts topped with whipped cream.

Littledean Tower was the principal residence of the Kers of Littledean, and was built on the site of an earlier fort.
Standing on the south bank of the River Tweed, the site is close to an old ford, and so may have been built to protect this river crossing. When the site was first occupied is unclear, although the remains of a prehistoric fort have been identified.
Whether or not there was a continuous period of occupation over the centuries is unknown, as the earliest portions of Littledean Tower are thought to date to two periods in the 16th century.
However there was certainly a castle here prior to that, as the Kers of Cessford made this site the principal residence of their barony of Maxton, with that branch later becoming known as the Kers of Littledean.
In the late 15th or early 16th century a Mark Ker of Littledean married a Marjorie Ainslie of Dolphinston, and Dolphinston Castle passed into the Ker family at that time.
The first part of Littledean Tower to be built in the 16th century was a main oblong block consisting of four storeys, built from freestone rubble with ashlar dressings. The entrance was in the south wall at ground level, and gave access to a vaulted cellar. From what remains of this main block, namely the western ends of the north and south walls, it isn't clear how the upper floors would have been reached.
Later in the 16th century a massive D-shaped tower was added to the west end of the main block. In 1544 Littledean was attacked and burnt by the English, and it seems likely that this defensive tower was added in response to this, to give the castle extra strength against any future attacks.
This new tower was also rubble-built, with walls 1.8m thick and faced with ashlar. The tower was four storeys in height plus a garret, and as well as increasing the defensive capabilities of Littledean it also added considerable new accommodation.
A chamfered base course rises up to meet a series of six oval gun loops spreading around the tower at ground floor level. At first floor level are a further six gun loops, allowing the main approach to the castle to be covered by the occupants within.
The D of the tower is wider than the rectangular original building it is joined to, and on the south side there is an entrance into the back of the D. This gives access both to the ground floor of the tower which is vaulted, and also to a small spiral staircase with which to reach the upper floors.
On the first floor is the hall, with a large fireplace installed within the curve of the D, with the aforementioned gun loops on either side of it. Over the doorway is a small guardroom with a window in the east wall of the projecting part, allowing the guard to cover the south wall of the castle.
At the top of the tower was a corbelled parapet, and within that a garret was built, possibly at a slightly later date, consisting of a two storey attic with crow-stepped gables.
Littledean may have had a barmkin, although any trace of that has now gone. Since the castle was vulnerable to attack only from the west and the south, and the D-shaped tower covers the west side, I'm assuming that this barmkin would have extended to the south.
It is said that Littledean fell out of use when the Kers moved to nearby Nenthorn House in the 18th century.
Littledean Tower is sometimes said to be the birthplace of the scholar John Duns Scotus, although his birthplace is also given as a property just outside the gatehouse of Duns Castle.

Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL), Mumbai, has let a contract to Siemens Ltd., Mumbai, a subsidiary of Siemens AG, for work related to the expansion of its 1.24 million-b/d Jamnagar refining and petrochemical complex in Gujarat, India (OGJ Online, Jan. 22. 2014).
Under the scope of the contract, Siemens will design, manufacture, supply, and commission four of its SST-600 steam turbine generation units for the Jamnagar refinery, Siemens said in an Aug. 8 filing to India's BSE Ltd. (formerly Bombay Stock Exchange).
The contract is valued at 2.28 billion rupees ($37.3 million), Siemens said.
RIL's Jamnagar project, known as J3, is designed to increase production capacity of ethylene and other petroleum products at the complex. The third phase of the ongoing development project at the site, J3 includes expanding Jamnagar's gasification plants, ethylene cracker complex, and paraxylene plant.
RIL previously reported that the refinery off-gas cracker expansion would increase capacities as follows: ethylene to 3.248 million tonnes/year (tpy) from 1.883 million tpy; propylene to 913,000 tpy from 759,000 tpy; monoethylene glycol to 1.466 million tpy from 733,000 tpy; low-density polyethylene to 590,000 tpy from 190,000 tpy; high-density and linear low-density polyethylene to 1.478 million tpy from 928,000 tpy; and paraxylene to 3.656 million tpy from 1.856 million tpy (OGJ Online, May 3, 2012).
RIL in April secured loans from a consortium of Japanese banks totaling about $550 million to help fund the Jamnagar ethylene capacity expansion (OGJ Online, July 7, 2014).

Training Plan Template
To assist councils to develop effective training programs for new staff in councils, LGAT has developed the following training plan template. A training plan is a tool to measure the progress of a trainee against a set of pre-determined competencies. It is an agreement made between the employer and the employee that ensures both parties are aware of their obligations and each other's expectations throughout the training period.
A properly negotiated training plan will provide a structured approach to the development and attainment of skills, and will:
- provide an opportunity to select what, how, when and where skills will be achieved
- provide a measure to assess an apprentice's or trainee's progress
- assist in managing, planning and mapping work rotation.
Each workplace is different, therefore the training plan must be individually tailored for each person. The following training plan has been developed in a generic form so that it is easily adaptable to any workplace.

E. Rodney Quarcoo is one of Ghana's front running photographers. His mum comes from Cape Coast & his dad was born in Koforidua to Togolese parents and he fondly calls himself "ayigbeboy", and claims Cape Coast as his hometown. He grew up in Ghana and England and developed an interest in photography early. The most important part is that he worked on the interest and keeps updating his skills regularly by attending courses worldwide. ONB sits for a brief chat with him.
- How has travel and growing up in different parts of the world influenced your work? Experiencing other cultures has influenced how I garner inspiration for my work & for me; inspiration is a major factor in creating work that resonates with people who experience it.
- When did you first pick up interest in photography? For as long as I can remember I've also dabbled in photography, but I took it up as a profession about 4 years ago.
- Asides fashion, what other kinds of photography do you execute? I'm a people person, I love to observe & shoot people. I also shoot Wedding & Family Portraiture.
- What are the biggest challenges facing the growth and development of Photography in Africa? The expense of the kit I think is the biggest barrier to entry, as if that isn't bad enough – getting your hands on the quality kit locally is another story.
- What are some of the ways you have been able to deal with these challenges? God being so good, I have a wide network of family & friends across the globe, so I am able to get by.
- What other kind of creative people would you like to collaborate with apart from fashion designers or magazines? Ooh the possibilities are endless! I'd love to collaborate with artists, poets and seemingly unrelated disciplines like candle making! LOL! Trust me, I think up some crazy things! :-)
- What words of wisdom can you give out to young Africans in Africa who have dreams of becoming world class photographers? Learn, Practice & Persevere! It's not easy, but hustle hard & you shall get there! I learn everyday & I am on my grind, one day my name will be up there. Amen!

New insurance contracts said to save Vt. $10 millionBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | August 22,2013MONTPELIER Gov. Peter Shumlin is hailing three new insurance contracts that he says will save the state an estimated $10 million in employee health care costs in 2014.
A competitive bidding process to administer the states self-insured medical plans saw Vermont end its long-running relationship with Cigna in favor of an offer submitted by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont.
Commissioner of Human Resources Kate Duffy said Thursday that the Blue Cross bid contained more favorable provider rates than the ones negotiated on the states behalf by Cigna. Duffy said the state paid out $119 million in medical claims last year; under rates negotiated by Blue Cross, she said, those costs would have been $5 million less.
The way to save on costs on a plan like this is primarily on discounts you can get from providers that are negotiated by these (insurance) companies, Duffy said.
The state also put out to bid contracts to administer its prescription and dental plans. And while Vermont has selected the same carriers its used in the past Express Scripts and Delta Dental, respectively Duffy says the companies will deliver increased savings.
Lower pharmaceutical costs negotiated by Express Scripts, according to Duffy, will save the state a projected $5 million in 2014.
The state of Vermont is self-insured, paying out of pocket to settle the medical claims amassed by the 23,000 current and retired state employees as well as family members covered by the plan. But the state contracts with private carriers to administer the plan, and negotiate rates with providers, a task Duffy said the state is ill-suited to handle itself.
We dont have the capacity to do that, and I dont think we have expertise or the technology that the companies who were bidding on this have, Duffy said.
Duffy said the savings do not in any way derive from changes to the employee benefit plan, the terms of which are negotiated between the administration and state workers union during contract talks. But under the Blue Cross bid employees will also gain access to the insurance carriers wellness program.
I am confident Blue Cross new Accountable Blue program will help us save costs and, more importantly, improve the health of our state employees and their families, Shumlin said in a statement.

Manipur Polls: NPF returns one to Cong
Dimapur, February 21 (MExN): The one-to-one between the Naga People's Front (NPF) and the Nagaland Congress continues with the former today refuting that it spent Rs. 30 crore in the Manipur elections. In a response to the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee's (NPCC) allegation, the NPF returned the ball by saying the Congress "siphoned off from their respective LADF and collected to help their Congress friends in Imphal during the Manipur elections."
"The allegation that the NPF spent Rs. 30 crore in the Manipur election is another wild allegation of the Congress that has no iota of truth. In fact, the NPF stuck to the model code of conduct in letter and spirit under an environment where the Congress government in Imphal went all out to suppress the voice of the Nagas by using all its machineries and forces to harass the NPF candidates and workers," the NPF's publicity cell said in a rejoinder today.
"Since the Congress has brought up the issue, we demand to know how much money has been siphoned off from their respective LADF and collected to help their Congress friends in Imphal during the Manipur elections."
The NPF is "sad" that "at a time when Nagas were being suppressed in the hill areas, it was indeed sad for all Nagas to see Congress leaders from Nagaland marching to Imphal and extending monetary assistance to Ibobi Singh, the anti-Naga chief minister of Manipur."
The regional party then reiterated that "the culture of high command politics" is "alien" and people "cannot accept Nagaland Congress leaders marching to Delhi to resolve internal issues and also imposition of such culture upon our people." The NPF is a regional party where its leadership and its policies "are determined by our real high command which is the people and the masses," the NPF's Media bureau stated.
According to the NPF, the "division within the Congress camp ensures that its internal discussions and actions are in public domain within minutes of their closed door meetings." Therefore, the NPF says, "the maturity of a responsible party like the Congress is once again debatable as it has unnecessarily dragged in the name of Raj Bhavan in its attempts to confuse the public. What sort of mental balance the Congress leadership in Nagaland has is for the people to judge."
Further, the NPF is 'shocked' to observe the "NPCC president reiterating their citizenship." As elected members under the Constitution of India, they are duty bound to participate and attend national day programmes instead of announcing their citizenship to the people "through a press release," the party remarked.
"It is ridiculous to see that most of them stayed away from Republic Day functions and now they are resorting to announcement of their citizenship through a press release. The NPCC needs to understand that all of us are Indian nationals but they perhaps do not know that Nagas have been given political recognition and protection by the British government during the colonial rule and after attainment of the country's independence, even the Government of India has extended special provisions and protections for the Naga people."

In 2002, three soldiers entered Inés Fernández Ortega's house while she was cooking with her children. They pushed her to the floor and one soldier raped her while the others watched.
Valentina Rosendo Cantú, then aged 17, was washing clothes by a river. Soldiers approached her, threatened her and two of them raped her.
Inés and Valentina are Indigenous Me'phaa (Tlapaneca) women. Due to cultural, economic and social barriers Indigenous women in Mexico who are raped rarely file a complaint, particularly if members of the military are implicated. These women have shown great courage by reporting their ordeals to the authorities – until now, however, no substantive investigation has taken place and no one has been brought to justice.
Military investigators tried to disprove the allegations, placing the burden of proof on the victims, and civilian institutions have not adequately dealt with the cases. Since reporting their cases, both women and their families have suffered intimidation and death threats.
In August 2010, their long struggle for justice resulted in the Inter American Court of Human Rights issuing two binding judgements against Mexico which ordered a full investigation by civilian authorities, as well as reparations and reforms to the military justice system. The case has finally been passed to civilian justice system, but a full investigation is still pending.
It is time to demand justice for Inés and Valentina!
We call on the President of Mexico, Filipe Calderón Hinojosa, to,
- implement in full the binding judgement of the Inter American Court
- carry out a prompt, full and impartial investigation, under civilian jurisdiction, into the rape and torture of Inés Fernández Ortega and Valentina Rosendo Cantú in 2002
- guarantee adequate reparations and effective protection for both women

Hey, girl, good to hear from you! I admire your bravery on the orchid. With the great advice I know is available on GW, the actual caring for it is no longer intimidating to me, but I have yet to see one that looks like it could make the trip home. They just look SOOOO fragile and delicate. I'd say the hard part's over for you, especially since you were already NOT killing the one you had before. Good luck! |

Château de Cassis
A former 13th-century stone fortress may not seem like the most welcoming structure for a bed-and-breakfast, but Château de Cassis feels at once intimate and modern. It hovers 250 feet above the Mediterranean, in Cassis, which is quietly becoming an insider's alternative to St.-Tropez. Carved from a citadel that dates back to the Roman presence in Provence, the inn is steeped in history. Bricks salvaged from the fortress's ancient ovens line the towering vaulted public spaces. In the five suites—each with a private garden—rigorously edited furnishings are a breezy cocktail of high and low: ebony four-poster beds, pierced Moroccan wall lights, woven-plastic floor mats, and terra-cotta olive-oil jars.
Open / Closes- Breakfast Included
- Concierge
- Historic

Some evidence in favour of planned management (usually by induction) when women have prelabour rupture of membranes at term.
When women's membranes rupture at or after 37 weeks' gestation without having contractions, they can choose to intervene (usually by immediate induction with oxytocin or prostaglandin) or they can wait for spontaneous labour to occur. The concern that early planned intervention might result in more caesarean and operative births was not supported in this review, which also found that fewer mothers developed infections and that fewer babies were admitted to the neonatal intensive care units than if women waited for spontaneous birth. Similar number of babies developed infections whether intervention was early or whether women waited. In one trial, women clearly preferred early planned intervention.

This is a question that can be asked by many who are searching for homes in the Southern California area. But for Newport Beach in particular, it is a question that may be asked by all. The steep prices make price reductions a welcomed sight. Although the reductions don't automatically mean that you will be able to purchase the home, it does give one a bit of hope for the future housing market. At this point every penny counts or in this case I shall say, every thousand counts. Happy hunting my friends.

How to Use AJAX With PHP on Your WordPress Site Without a Plugin

VIRGINIA, Minn., Oct 26, 2011 -- USDA Rural Development State Director Colleen Landkamer today announced that three organizations in Minnesota have been selected to receive grants to help cooperatives grow, create jobs and strengthen their capacity to serve rural communities.
The Food Co-op Initiative in Southern Minnesota, The Latino Economic Development Center in Minneapolis and the Northcountry Cooperative Foundation in Minneapolis were selected to receive $225,000 grants through Rural Development's Rural Cooperative Development Grant Program (RCDG).
"These grants help build and strengthen rural cooperatives so they can create jobs and boost the rural economy," Landkamer said. "October is National Cooperative Month and we are proud to support Minnesota cooperatives as they bring increased value and economic opportunity to rural residents."
Under the RCDG program, grants are awarded to colleges, universities and non-profit groups to create and operate centers that help individuals or groups establish, expand or operate rural businesses, especially cooperatives and mutually-owned businesses. Grants may be used to conduct feasibility studies, create and implement business plans, and help businesses develop new markets for their products and services.
For example, the Food Co-op Initiative (FCI) will use its grant to provide seed grants, training and resources to start new retail grocery co-ops throughout rural America. Activities include regional conferences and workshops, webinar training for start-up organizers, expanding web resources, board development and collaborations with other organizations.
The Latino Economic Development Center (LEDC) used a RCDG grant in 2010 to launch the Latino-based Rural Cooperative Development Center and utilize the entrepreneurial talents of Latino people living in rural Minnesota. This most recent grant will expand on those efforts by providing additional technical assistance and financing programs to start-up cooperatives and existing cooperatives. For example, the LEDC's award-winning Mercado Central cooperative public market concept, a facility developed and owned in partnership with a cooperative of Latino vendors, will be expanded to new areas of rural Minnesota.
The Northcountry Cooperative Foundation will use RCDG funds to strengthen rural housing cooperatives in the Upper Midwest, assist rural cooperatives with job retention, and provide technical assistance and specialized training that focuses on housing and food consumer cooperatives. The overall project work plan is designed to transform rural communities through a strategic, focused and collaborative approach to cooperative development.
Almost $8 million in loans and grants were announced for 36 organizations in 26 states. To learn more about the RCDG program, click here.

Memorial Day Weekend: The unofficial start of summer. With cookouts, baseball games and kids splashing in the pool on opening day, the countdown begins for the last day of school and we all bask in the sun while enjoying hot dogs and iced tea. This Memorial Day was supposed to be full of those things for my family, but instead the hubby and I spent most of the day in the emergency room because of my graceful moves while walking up to my mother's house.
I fell and I fell hard. I rolled my left ankle, fracturing it, and then slammed into the concrete, scraping up my legs like a 10-year-old boy. It was painful and embarrassing, to say the least. The kids were able to stay and enjoy the attention of both doting grandmothers as the cookout proceeded without the wonderful company of their parents. After getting home with my temporary cast, I began to realize what a pain this was going to be with two children.
This is the third time I have fractured this ankle. Sports injuries from the past have haunted me as an adult. However, the ease of having my mother wait on me and having no responsibilities to contend with as a teenager was long gone; I was a Mommy now, and things were totally different. Thankfully, as I have bragged to y'all before, my husband is the best man on Earth and he tried very hard to do everything, from getting up with the baby in the middle of the night (usually we alternate) to getting both kids fed, bathed and to sleep, plus fixing dinner for the two of us. The guilt that goes along with being incapacitated is immeasurable.
This accident made me realize how scary it would be for single parents to hurt themselves. As parents, our responsibilities are so great; it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day grind and not realize how much you have to rely on things like standing on two feet. Thankfully, I was able to get a "boot," which I can hobble around in and also remove to take showers (thank goodness for that one, casts and trash bags are very overrated). I only have to wear this "robot foot" (little man officially christened it) for three weeks until I'm free from all restraints and back to my old, graceful self. I just really need to watch where I'm going from now on.
You really do have an amazing husband and your babies are so lucky to have such a great daddy. "The Guilt that goes along with being incapacitated is immeasurable" is so true! While I have yet to be put in a situation like yours (don't worry, I'm just as clumsy as you, so it is only a matter of time), it makes you realize how an injury or even an illness can have such an impact on your ability to parent effectively and how emotionally tax it is.
Things truly are different now that we're adults with obligations to our children. I'm sure I speak for both of us when I say that I wouldn't have it any other way.

A Fresh Way to Make Money Online
March 29, 2012 | Author: admin | Filed under: General Business
Description Here
Visit SiteYou see, I left home with dreams of becoming an actor, and I moved to Hollywood on a wing and a prayer…
… Because even though I started having success in Hollywood, I quickly realized that even the top actors and actresses have it tough when it comes to their wallets.
And I found a better way. I left behind a promising career as an actor, when I stumbled across a secret that made me $90,000 in one day, at just 21 years of age.
Now, I've decided to give you my top secret formula, in a simple ABC format that anyone, including a grandmother from Texas, can follow with ease…
Listen. There's a reason that I'm the most controversial, and some say the most hated enemy of the "big name" gurus.
Because listening to the gurus brag about pulling another fast one on their customers, while they laugh it up, makes me want to puke.
Most of the "top name" gurus are just riding my coat tails anyway. I helped many of them make their first dollar online.
In a moment I'm going to spell out the whole conspiracy to hold your wallet hostage, and why getting your hands on my top secret recipe is the guru's biggest nightmare…
… But first I want to give you a bit of my background, because it's important for you to understand that I came from one of the roughest neighborhoods in a crime-ridden Alabama town…
… And I was able to turn it all around… so I KNOW that no matter what you're faced with financially, there is a way out.
My early childhood was spent on a farm in a very small town called "Roy", about 100 miles outside of Seattle, Washington. We had a mule, a horse, 2 donkeys, a miniature bull (only 32 inches tall… Read more…

A burglar takes off running after a middle school student catches him in the act.
The incident happened just after 2 p.m. Wednesday in the 700 block of Angus Street. Officers say the boy had just gotten home from school when he found a burglar in his house. Nothing was taken and nobody was hurt.
KSBY spoke with a girl who is friends with the boy whose home was burglarized. She said he was pretty shaken up, but seems to be doing okay.
The suspect is described as a man wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. He is 6 feet tall and about 180 pounds. Anyone with information should contact the Paso Robles Police Department.
