Wearing nothing more than an open silk robe the model looks sexier than ever in her racy new shoot, channeling a sexy geisha in a kimono and the signature partial red lip design. Are you a fan of the photo or is it way too racy for your liking? VOTE.
Karrueche Tran has completely shocked us with a new photo of herself half naked and touching herself, which she posted on her Instagram account on Jan 7. In fact, it looks like she took a page out of rival Rihanna's book! While we think the model is gorgeous and quite exotic looking, this picture just might be a little too revealing for our taste. Do you guys agree? Tell us what you think & VOTE!
Karrueche is gorgeous and exotic — but we almost didn't recognize her when she posted a very revealing and sexy pic on Instagram. In fact, it just might be a little too sexy. She is completely nude, save for a blue and gold silk robe, which is covering just one boob and barely even concealing the other! She turned to the side so that you cannot see her face and her hair is tied up in a chignon, put together with chopsticks. Her makeup is beautiful, as she owns the smokey eye and you can see a trace of the typical geisha red lip design that only covers half your lips.
The picture really takes a twist from the waist down as Karrueche is seen with her hand underneath her robe and she is touching herself! Slow Down! Could this be a private photo shoot for beau, Chris Brown? The star seems to be very comfortable in her own skin, but this is just a little overboard.
We want to know what you guys think — is this picture too racy or totally tasteful? VOTE!

Just pitifu!l…..smmfh!…..tsk tsk tsk! Ms. Tran get your daughter! She tries too hard! And Chris Brown has her not knowing, her head from her azz?….You can tell its killing her. She bought him a expensive watch and black-eyes peas on X-mas! On New Year's Eve; she came with gumbo, and a request for him to commit …And yet?….and yet?….The boy still haven't fully commited to her "exclusively"
While I am the first to say I can't stand the leeching azz bish…..I do feel sorry for her. It's a hard "nuff" life, loving somebody when they don't love you back…..of course he cares dearly for her, but it looks like, that's as far, as it goes!
DWL, so let me ask u this? u came up with this theory that Chris Brown does not love Karreuche because u read in a hollywood life blog (known for lies) that she bought him all these nice things and asked him for committment which he declined, did you have a conversation with Brown on this matter?, did he open up to you exclusively and told you that he does not love Karreuche? how do you know my dear? enlighten us since we are all in the dark on the status on their relationship. i dont kno any thing about them but do u really think she would still be around if he didnt love her? check yourself.

Rihanna has a big forehead that she covers most of the time with her hair! so what! stop trying to compare all the time, both have their flaws! if u dont like her, u dont like her man and thats that…leave her be. ur just wasting your time spewing all this hatred, the only thing it will do is make her stronger.

Karreuche "donkey for a day tran" is a disgrace to womanhood. In her world it's okay to be dependent, disrespected and submissive to a pathological cheater, womanizer and liar, Chris Brown. Midgethoe Tran is an enabler and largely responsible for CB's career demise and estrangement from Mama J. Won't be spending my disposable income on Breezy again in this life.

It's hilarious how one poster changing her screen names wants to rant and rave about the comments being the same. I agree with Barb. Were commenting on the hoe and her pictures there's not much to say but what you are seeing. The fact is her boob is almost laying flat down, it's extremely saggy. Her body is not even average, she's built like a child. Seems the truth bothers one poster with split personalities. LOL

NFL Injury Report
Last updated 11/6/14
St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher has announced that wide
receiver Danny Amendola is shaping up to be a game-time decision Sunday against
the Buffalo Bills, while running back Stephen Jackson is probable to play.
WR Danny Amendola (foot), LB Mario Haggan (elbow) are questionable. Coach Jeff Fisher said Amendola will be a game time decision.
— St. Louis Rams (@STLouisRams) December 7, 2012
Amendola did not practice Wednesday and continued to sport a
walking boot to protect his injured heel. The wide receiver was able to shed
the boot on Thursday and was a limited participant in practice over the past
two days.
Amendola has been dealing with injuries throughout the
season, but when he's been healthy enough to play he's been productive,
catching 51 passes for 576 yards and two touchdowns.
Beyond Amendola, Rams linebacker Mario Haggan is also
questionable due to an elbow injury, while St. Louis has already ruled tight
end Mike McNeill (thigh) out against the Bills. Jackson and offensive lineman
Scott Wells, who are both recovering from foot injuries, are expected to suit
up Sunday.

Employer retaliation cases reach U.S. Supreme Court
When can workers sue against acts of retaliation by employers? Two cases slated for hearing this week may help clarify.
Employers, managers, and supervisors wield enormous power in the workplace over the lives and wellbeing of their employees.
Congress has recognized that sometimes this power can be abused by managers who retaliate if they don't like something that employee has said or done.
This week, the US Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in two cases examining how, when – or even if – employees can fight back against such abuses of power. On Tuesday, the high court will examine whether a US postal worker can claim retaliation in a lawsuit under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act because she says her supervisor refused to let her return to her old job because he didn't like her personally. Instead, he hired a younger, less experienced worker.
On Wednesday, the justices will hear the case of a former assistant manager at a Cracker Barrel restaurant who alleges he was fired in retaliation for his repeated complaints about racial prejudice by his supervisor.
In both cases the laws cited do not explicitly authorize legal action in response to an act of retaliation. Lawyers for the employees say retaliation is a particularly virulent form of illegal discrimination and thus falls within the scope of the US's civil rights laws even when those laws don't specifically mention retaliation.
Lawyers for companies and supervisors counter that if Congress wanted to authorize lawsuits to punish acts of retaliation, it would have written it into each statute.
In 2005, the high court ruled 5-4 that a girl's high school basketball coach could sue the school board for allegedly retaliating against him after he complained his female players were not receiving equal access to sports equipment and facilities.
He sued under Title IX, which bars gender discrimination in education. Title IX does not specifically mention a cause of action for retaliation, but the majority justices found that retaliation was a form of discrimination outlawed under the statute.

BACKGROUND: Neuronal phenotypes associated with hemizygosity of individual genes within the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome locus hold potential towards understanding the pathogenesis of schizophrenia and autism. Included among these genes is Dgcr8, which encodes an RNA-binding protein required for microRNA biogenesis. Dgcr8 haploinsufficient mice (Dgcr8+/-) have reduced expression of microRNAs in brain and display cognitive deficits, but how microRNA deficiency affects the development and function of neurons in the cerebral cortex is not fully understood. RESULTS: In this study, we show that Dgcr8+/- mice display reduced expression of a subset of microRNAs in the prefrontal cortex, a deficit that emerges over postnatal development. Layer V pyramidal neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex of Dgcr8+/- mice have altered electrical properties, decreased complexity of basal dendrites, and reduced excitatory synaptic transmission. CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate that precise microRNA expression is critical for the postnatal development of prefrontal cortical circuitry. Similar defects in neuronal maturation resulting from microRNA deficiency could represent endophenotypes of certain neuropsychiatric diseases of developmental onset.

Mercedes hope to bolster Michael Schumachers faltering Formula One comeback with a range of improvements to the MGP W01 for the forthcoming Spanish Grand Prix. Schumacher, who has scored just 10 points since his return in March, will swap to a different chassis, featuring a longer wheelbase and a host of aerodynamic updates.
Schumacher, who previously retired from F1 competition at the end of 2006, has struggled to get to grips with his 2010-spec machine and its narrower front tyres. To compound the problem, Mercedes have admitted to a miscalculation with the cars weight distribution, an issue that will be addressed for Barcelona by the longer wheelbase, which should give more of the front-end bite that the German favours in his cars handling balance.
"It's not a new chassis per se, it's a chassis we used in testing," said team principal Ross Brawn of Schumachers car, speaking to news agency Reuters at a charity function in London on Monday. "The one he had got damaged during the first few races and we repaired it as best we could at the races. But now we are back at base we are going to re-introduce the test chassis and he will be using that in Barcelona."
While team mate Nico Rosberg has twice finished on the podium this season to put him second in the driver standings, Schumacher has only once bettered tenth place, with a sixth in Bahrain. Nevertheless, Brawn is confident the seven-time champion will soon be back on terms with his younger compatriot.
"He is so determined and you can see that in his driving, commented Brawn. The bits where it's not quite working are not because of (lack of) skill or bravery, it's because the technique needs tuning and the car needs tuning. It's odd places where he's losing time and that's why we think he'll sort it out and we'll sort it out."
At the last round in China Mercedes used a passive, blown rear wing - a simpler version of the solution employed by McLaren as part of their innovative f-duct system - and a development of this could be among the aerodynamic changes in the MGP W01s update package for Spain.
Mercedes lie fourth in the constructors' table, behind McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull.

Phoenix Suns
The overlooked P.J. Tucker of the Phoenix Suns
In any occupation, a person who doesn't fit the prototype description often has his or her talents overlooked.
In the NFL, it happened with quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Drew Brees, who were "too short" to play the position. Many teams ignored their skills, yet they still went on to post impressive accomplishments.
Successful wing players in the NBA are thought to be well-built, long, good creators and excellent outside shooters.
When you look at Phoenix Suns guard/forward P.J. Tucker, who is listed at 6-foot-5, 225 pounds, you see a bulky, thick player who is a poor shooter.
His abilities aren't natural for his position, but it doesn't mean it can't work. It actually worked really well for Phoenix last year.
When Tucker was on the court, the Suns were 2.7 points better per 100 possessions offensively and 3.4 points better defensively -- good for a total of six points.
Even though last season was only the 28-year-old Tucker's second in the league, I would argue he has already established himself as an elite NBA defender.
Tucker guarded point guards, shooting guards and small forwards with extreme success. Here's is a chart with numbers from NBA.com that show the significance of his defense:
Opponent | FG Made Tucker On | FG Attempts Tucker On | FG% Tucker On | FG Made Tucker Off | FG Attempts Tucker Off | FG% Tucker Off |
James Harden - HOU | 16 | 38 | .421 | 13 | 25 | .520 |
Chris Paul - LAC | 4 | 10 | .400 | 12 | 22 | .545 |
LeBron James - MIA | 5 | 13 | .385 | 13 | 24 | .542 |
Paul Pierce - BOS | 5 | 14 | .357 | 1 | 1 | 1.000 |
Joe Johnson - BKN | 5 | 14 | .357 | 3 | 5 | .600 |
Carmelo Anthony - NYK | 5 | 15 | .333 | 6 | 12 | .500 |
Kobe Bryant - LAK | 7 | 29 | .241 | 11 | 20 | .550 |
Kevin Durant - OKC | 26 | 53 | .491 | 11 | 23 | .478 |
That is a list of some of the elite offensive players in the NBA. When Tucker was playing, they combined to shoot 39 percent compared to 53 percent when he wasn't playing.
What sets Tucker apart from most defenders are his size and incredible foot speed -- it gives him the ability to stay in front quicker players while also having the strength to battle the bullies.
Offensively, I would expect current head coach Jeff Hornacek to make better use of Tucker's unique skills than the previous staff did.
His unusual foot speed that lets him guard smaller players -- meaning those same players also have to defend him. Tucker can be used a significant amount in the post, as an off-ball screener and on-ball screener.
His shooting is going to need to improve; a .525 true shooting percentage isn't going to cut it.
Tucker shot only 56 percent around the rim and 34 percent on corner threes, where the majority of Tucker's shots should be taken based on the context of what his role will most likely end up being in the Suns offensive system. These numbers will have to trend up for him to reach his potential.
The Suns have a fascinating piece to use and it will be interesting to see how Tucker gets utilized under the new regime.

After Ryan Dunn's death, Roger Ebert tweeted about the incident, prompting friend and 'Jackass' costar Bam Margera to get angry at the film critic!
Ryan Dunn was out drinking with friends on the night of June 19 before his fatal car crash, but when Roger Ebert (@ebertchicago) tweeted "Friends don't let Jackasses drive drunk," Ryan's fellow Jackass pal Bam Margera was NOT happy about it!
Bam spent the day mourning the loss of his close friend, but late Monday night he found time to respond via Twitter, saying "I just lost my best friend, I have been crying hysterical for a full day and piece of sh** roger ebert has the gall to put in his 2 cents / About a jackass drunk driving and his is one, f**k you! Millions of people are crying right now, shut your fat f***ing mouth!"
According to a TMZ source, Ryan had upwards of six drinks at Barnaby's of America in West Chester, PA before he left the bar and and decided to drive home in his Porsche 911 GT3, which can reach up to 190 miles per hour. Police are investigating the incident, but say that speed may have been a factor in the crash.
So sad — but even though it is a terrible loss, Roger Ebert has a point! He could have hurt other people on the road as well. What do you think?

The real question to be asked is why a car that can go over 200 miles/hour is allowed to be sold to the general public and driven on public streets when the speed limit at best is 65 miles / hour. That my friends is equivalent to selling automatic weapons with hollow point amo to the general public and then be surprised when people are killed by its owner. All drinking questions aside, had the car he drove been restricted to say 90 to 100mph, he may still be alive today even if he was drinking and driving.
Posted at 11:00 AM on July 28, 2011
To you Cleo:
I would like to open my dialog with a question – are you freaking kidding me? So because it's a fast car your contention is that's the root of the issue? Not the fact that he was drinking and driving? The car's speed being restricted to 90 or 100 mph means he might still be alive? Unless I'm missing something, the odds say that crashing at 90 will still kill you. So no, it wasn't the fast car that killed him, it was the drunken idiot driving the car that did it all.

Joe Morello's album count is very impressive as he's played on over 120 albums. He's also written many top selling books about drumming inluding his book Master Studies." He is also included in Modern Drummer Magazine's Hall Of Fame.
What I like about this clip is the way Joe is using his hands to play his drum set at the beginning of the solo. It really makes me wonder if John Bonham had seen Joe Morello play like this at some point. As I'm sure you're aware, John Bonham has a nice section in his Moby Dick" solo where he plays with his hands. I guess we all learn from our heroes.

Tyler, TX — An East Texas man made an unexpected discovery when he went to check the balance in his bank account.
He found there was a lot more money in it than he expected, to the tune of more than $4 trillion dollars.
Reggie Theus says he couldn't believe his eyes, in fact, he says he was so stunned, he logged in and out of the banking system eight times, just to see if the money would still be there and it was every time.
Reggie Theus, "I was definitely surprised when I looked at my account and saw that much money in there. I looked it up and there's never been a trillionaire before, so, technically, I may be the first ever."
All good things must come to an end it seems. Theus' fortune disappeared as quickly as it came. Turns out, the banking error was due to a glitch during an online banking update.

Peripeteia /ˌpɛrəpɨˈtaɪ.ə/ (Greek: περιπέτεια) is a reversal of circumstances, or turning point. The term is primarily used with reference to works of literature. The English form of peripeteia is peripety.
Aristotle's view[edit]
Aristotle defines it as "a change by which the action veers round to its opposite, subject always to our rule of probability or necessity." According to Aristotle, peripeteia, along with discovery, is the most effective when it comes to drama, particularly in a tragedy. Aristotle wrote "The finest form of Discovery is one attended by Peripeteia, like that which goes with the Discovery in Oedipus…".[1]
Aristotle says that peripeteia is the most powerful part of a plot in a tragedy along with discovery. A peripety is the change of the kind described from one state of things within the play to its opposite, and that too in the way we are saying, in the probable or necessary sequence of events. There is often no element like Peripeteia; it can bring forth or result in terror, mercy, or in comedies it can bring a smile or it can bring forth tears (Rizo). This is the best way to spark and maintain attention throughout the various form and genres of drama "Tragedy imitates good actions and, thereby, measures and depicts the well-being of its protagonist. But in his formal definition, as well as throughout the Poetics, Aristotle emphasizes that" ... Tragedy is an imitation not only of a complete action, but also of events inspiring fear or pity" (1452a 1); in fact, at one point Aristotle isolates the imitation of "actions that excite pity and fear" as "the distinctive mark of tragic imitation" (1452b 30). Pity and fear are effected through reversal and recognition; and these "most powerful elements of emotional interest in Tragedy-Peripeteia or Reversal of the Situation, and recognition scenes-are parts of the plot (1450a 32). has the shift of the tragic protagonist's fortune from good to bad, which is essential to the plot of a tragedy. It is often an ironic twist. Good uses of Peripeteia are those that especially are parts of a complex plot, so that they are defined by their changes of fortune being accompanied by reversal, recognition, or both" (Smithson).
Peripeteia includes changes of character, but also more external changes. A character who becomes rich and famous from poverty and obscurity has undergone peripeteia, even if his character remains the same.
When a character learns something he had been previously ignorant of, this is normally distinguished from peripeteia as anagnorisis or discovery, a distinction derived from Aristotle's work.
Aristotle considered anagnorisis, leading to peripeteia, the mark of a superior tragedy. Two such plays are Oedipus the King, where the oracle's information that Oedipus had killed his father and married his mother brought about his mother's death and his own blindness and exile, and Iphigenia in Tauris, where Iphigenia realizes that the strangers she is to sacrifice are her brother and his friend, resulting in all three of them escaping Tauris. These plots he considered complex and superior to simple plots without anagnorisis or peripeteia, such as when Medea resolves to kill her children, knowing they are her children, and does so. Aristotle identified Oedipus the King, as the principal work demonstrating peripety. (See Aristotle's Poetics.)
Oedipus Rex[edit]
In Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, the peripeteia occurs towards the end of the play when the Messenger brings Oedipus news of his parentage. In the play, Oedipus is fated to murder his father and marry his mother. His parents, Laius and Jocasta, try to forestall the oracle by sending their son away to be killed, but he is actually raised by Polybus and his wife, Merope, the rulers of another kingdom. The irony of the Messenger's information is that it was supposed to comfort Oedipus and assure him that he was the son of Polybus. Unfortunately for Oedipus, the Messenger says, "Polybus was nothing to you, [Oedipus] that's why, not in blood" (Sophocles 1113). The Messenger received Oedipus from one of Laius' servants and then gave him to Polybus. The plot comes together when Oedipus realizes that he is the son and murderer of Laius as well as the son and husband of Jocasta. Martin M. Winkler says that here, peripeteia and anagnôrisis occur at the same time "for the greatest possible impact" because Oedipus has been "struck a blow from above, as if by fate or the gods. He is changing from the mighty and somewhat arrogant king of Thebes to a figure of woe" (Winkler 57).
Conversion of Paul on the road to Damascus[edit]
The instantaneous conversion of Paul on the road to Damascus is a classic example of peripeteia, which Eusebius presented in his Life of Constantine as a pattern for the equally revelatory conversion of Constantine. Modern biographers of Constantine see his conversion less as a momentary phenomenon than as a step in a lifelong process.[2]
The Three Apples[edit]
In "The Three Apples", a medieval Arabian Nights, after the murderer reveals himself near the middle of the story, he explains his reasons behind the murder in a flashback, which begins with him going on a journey to find three rare apples for his wife, but after returning finds out she cannot eat them due to her lingering illness. Later at work, he sees a slave passing by with one of those apples claiming that he received it from his girlfriend, a married woman with three such apples her husband gave her. He returns home and demands his wife to show him all three apples, but she only shows him two. This convinces him of her infidelity and he murders her as a result. After he disposes of her body, he returns home where his son confesses that he had stolen one of the apples and that a slave, to whom he had told about his father's journey, had fled with it. The murderer thus realizes his guilt and regrets what he has just done.[3][4]
The second use of peripety occurs near the end. After finding out about the culprit behind the murder, the protagonist Ja'far ibn Yahya is ordered by Harun al-Rashid to find the tricky slave within three days, or else he will have Ja'far executed instead. After the deadline has passed, Ja'far prepares to be executed for his failure and bids his family farewell. As he hugs his youngest daughter, he feels a round object in her pocket, which is revealed to be the same apple that the culprit was holding. In the story's twist ending, the daughter reveals that she obtained it from their slave, Rayhan. Ja'far thus realizes that his own slave was the culprit all along. He then finds Rayhan and solves the case, preventing his own execution. That was a plot twist.[5][6]

In William Shakespeare's tragedy Othello, the peripety occurs in the mere middle of the play, act III, scene 3. Othello is slowly deceived by Iago's rhetoric, persuasiveness and imagery, yet in this scene the transition occurs. Iago says 'Indeed' with emphasis, whereafter Othello replies: "Indeed? Ay, indeed. Discerns't thou aught in that? Is he not honest?". Iago keeps using rhetorical emphasis to corrupt Othello: "Honest, my lord? [...] Think, my lord?". Othello who is of weak character and easily persuaded replies: "Think, my lord! By heaven, he echoes me, / As if there was some monster in his thought / Too hideous to be shown". The corruption continues until the peripety. There are two stanzas indicating this change. Othello has just married the beautiful Desdemona, whom he seemed unlikely to marry because he is a Moor (of North African descent), nevertheless he has been very lucky. Yet the peripety arrives and Othello exclaims: "Why did I marry? This honest creature [Iago] doubtless / Sees and knows more, much more, than he unfolds". [III, 3, 243-4]. Othello concludes that: "This fellow's of exceeding honesty / And knows all qualities with a learned spirit / Of human dealings" [III, 3, 260]. The peripety has happened and Othello degrades mentally and the transition can be observed in his usage of language. Othello is very eloquent and uses subtle imagery ("Keep up your bright swords, for the dew will rust them" [I, 2, 59]). After the peripety, his language degrades to the usage of diabolical and physical imagery. Following the confirmation of his absolute belief in what Iago has told him, he remarks: "I had rather be a toad / And live upon the vapour of a dungeon" [III, 3, 272].
This section possibly contains original research. (September 2013) |
In Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet: Prince of Denmark, the peripeteia occurs in Act 3 scene 3 when Hamlet sees King Claudius praying alone. It is the perfect opportunity to avenge his father and kill Claudius. Hamlet draws his sword, but then hesitates. He realizes that, since Claudius is praying, he would go to heaven if killed, thus Hamlet's father would not be avenged. Hamlet decides not to "take him [Claudius] in the purging of his soul,/ When he is fit and seasoned for passage" (Shakespeare 90-91). He resolves to "know thou a more horrid hent", or wait for a more horrible occasion (93). The irony of the situation is that, unbeknownst to Hamlet, Claudius cannot ask for forgiveness for murdering his brother because he is "still possessed/ Of those effects for which I [Claudius] did the murder./ My crown, mine own ambition, and my queen" (57-59). This scene marks Hamlet's point of no return in avenging his father and his hesitation allows Claudius to constantly be one step ahead. In the end, it is Hamlet's hesitation that causes the death of himself, his mother, Laertes, and Ophelia. On the other hand, according to Hegel's theory of the tragic, tragedy is "set in train by a peripatetic act that rebounds upon the agent as a conflict between ethical powers" (Finlayson 500). The downfall of the hero is because of an act done in error rather than from a character flaw, so therefore, the character is responsible, at least in part, for his or her downfall (501). In Hamlet's case, it is the lack of action that causes his downfall and eventual death.

HOPE Board of Directors
The Board of Directors of HOPE creates policies and procedures and gives general direction under which HOPE operates.
HOPE Personnel
HOPE is administered by an Executive Director, a Client Service Manager, an Administrative Assistant/Volunteer Coordinator, a Bookkeeper, and a Food Room Manager who organize and administer a staff composed of 100 volunteers.
Our History
In early 1982, Susan Preslar of the Department of Social Services recognized a need in Lancaster County for an organization that would help those in crisis situations.
In May 1982, she organized a meeting to be attended by interested citizens and representatives of the churches of the county. About 50 people attended and 11 volunteers agreed to serve on a steering committee led by Rev. James White to establish such an organization.
HOPE in Lancaster, Inc. opened its doors on February 28, 1983. In the nine months from the very first meeting until we opened our doors we secured building space, office equipment, supplies, freezer and refridgerators, and our food pantry was fully stocked all due to generous donations from the Residents, Churches, and Businesses of Lancaster County. All at no cost to HOPE in Lancaster, Inc.
Our first Executive Committee had 14 members and was led by James Bradley, our first Executive Committee President.
Our goal and mission is the same today as it was 32 years ago at that very first meeting:
To provide cooperative, short-term, emergency assistance to local residents, at a central location, through a voluntary association.
The Seal of HOPE in Lancaster, Inc. is two circles surrounding a flaming urn which is supported by two hands. The flames coming from the urn are the flames of a new beginning, the help that HOPE offers those in urgent need. The hands supporting the urn represent those who have given to HOPE--given time, money, food, prayers, and concern. Those hands represent each person who supports HOPE and makes its work possible. By placing these helping, uplifting hands within two circles, the seal shows the continuity of HOPE's task. Just as a circle does not end, so HOPE's commitment to the needs of Lancaster County will continue for as long as the community's hands lift up these life-giving flames that offer help to those in need.
Hope is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. All donations are tax deductible.

Cuba profile
Cuba's Communist government has survived more than 50 years of US sanctions intended to topple veteran leader Fidel Castro. It also defied predictions that it would not survive the collapse of its one-time supporter, the Soviet Union.
Since the fall of the US-backed dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in 1959, Cuba has been a one-party state led by Mr Castro and - since February 2008 - by his chosen successor and younger brother, Raul.
Fidel Castro exercised control over virtually all aspects of Cuban life through the Communist Party and its affiliated mass organisations, the government bureaucracy and the state security apparatus.
Exploiting the Cold War, Fidel Castro was for decades able to rely on strong Soviet backing, including annual subsidies worth $4-5 billion, and succeed in building reputable health and education systems. But, at least partly because of the US trade sanctions, he failed to diversify the economy.
The disappearance of Soviet aid following the collapse of the USSR forced the government to introduce tight rationing of energy, food and consumer goods. The economy soldiered on with the help of Canadian, European and Latin American investments, especially in tourism.
Controls were relaxed in the 1990s, with companies allowed to import and export without seeking permission and a number of free trade zones opening up.
At a glance
- Politics: Communist leader Fidel Castro led the one-party state for nearly 50 years; his brother Raul took over as leader in 2008
- Economy: US economic embargo has been in force since 1961; since collapse of USSR and loss of Soviet aid, there have been several tentative moves towards economic liberalisation
- International: US President said in December 2014 the US and Cuba would end more than 50 years of hostility
Profiles compiled by BBC Monitoring
Some of these economic reforms were later rolled back, with Fidel Castro denouncing what he called the "new rich".
However, after Fidel Castro was succeeded as president by his brother Raul, the pace of economic reform picked up once more.
RightsCuba has forged closer ties with China and with oil-producing Venezuela. The latter supplies cheap fuel, while the former is helping Cuba to develop its own oil industry.
But the money sent home by Cubans living abroad - many of them in the US city of Miami - is still crucial to the economy. Hardships have led to an increase in prostitution, corruption, black marketeering and desperate efforts to escape in search of a better life.
Cuba has fallen foul of international agencies, including the UN's top human rights forum, over rights abuses. The UN's envoy has urged Havana to release imprisoned dissidents and to allow freedom of expression.
The US leases the Guantanamo Naval Base on the eastern tip of the island under a 1903 treaty, and continues to send Cuba payment for it. Cuba under the Castros disputes the lease, saying that it was concluded under duress, and has refused to cash any of the cheques since the early days of the revolution.
Relations with the US showed signs of a thaw following the election of President Barack Obama. In December 2014 Mr Obama said the US and Cuba would end more than 50 years of hostility and were talking about restoring diplomatic ties. He said the policy of isolating Cuba had failed. President Castro said the island would not give up its socialist principles.
Russia has also taken steps to revitalise ties with its Soviet-era ally, and has signed agreements to explore Cuba's offshore oil deposits.
In 2014, Cuba won international praise for its response to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, after Havana sent hundreds of front-line medical staff to help deal with the crisis.

Conference 2014
Nationalist Responses to Economic and Political Crises
CEU-ASN Conference, 2014
June 12-14, 2014
As a sequel to the 19th Annual World Convention in New York, the Association for the Study of Nationalities and the Nationalism Studies Program at Central European University are organizing the joint ASN conference in Europe in Budapest in June 2014. The focus of the conference will be on the Nationalist Responses to Economic and Political Crises in Central Europe, the Balkans, the former Soviet Union, the Middle East and Central Eurasia. Special attention will be given to themes discussing the relationship between economic crises, nationalism and politicized ethnicity. In addition, a number of panels will discuss other aspects of nationalism and ethnic conflict, focusing on Central Europe in particular.
The conference which will take place at the Central European University in Budapest will provide an opportunity for young scholars as well as senior scholars from Europe, North America, the FSU region and Central Asia to share their research findings.
The interdisciplinary conference will host more than 40 panels devoted to comparative perspectives on nationalism-related issues, empirical case studies as well as papers on theoretical approaches. Disciplines represented in the papers selected for presentation by the Conference Program Committee include political science, philosophy, history, anthropology, sociology, international relations, economics and political geography.
The final program of the conference is available here.
The short overview of the panels and rooms is available here.
The keynote lecture (Friday, June 13 6 PM) will be delivered by Donald Horowitz.

The removal, announced by the search giant in a brief blog post, will happen "in the coming weeks."
Google acquired the app suite in 2012 and it was usually ranked as a strong competitor to other productive suites for the iPad designed to fill the gap left by Microsoft's reluctance to offer a version of Office for Apple's best-selling iPad. Among other features, Quickoffice lets you view and edit Office apps. But Microsoft finally did launch Office apps earlier this year and the Word, Excel and PowerPoint apps for iPad have been a huge hit.
Google said the reason for the removal is that Quickoffice has been integrated into Google Docs, Sheets and Slides apps.
As for current Quickoffice users, Google said: "Existing users with the app can continue to use it, but no features will be added and new users will not be able to install the app."

Watkins preaches at the Greater Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, where he leads a gay and lesbian congregation he calls the Ministry of Reconciliation. He made his disappointing discovery October 3 in Melbourne, where he traveled in hopes the 213-year-old religious institution's South Florida chapter would ordain him as a deacon at its annual conference. If ordained Watkins would become the first openly gay member of the AME hierarchy.
He arrived at Melbourne's Greater Allen Chapel AME Church during a break in a heavy downpour. Inside the sanctuary elegantly dressed women cooled themselves with fans that advertised a local funeral home, while men in dark suits shook hands and joked with one another. As the air conditioning quietly succumbed to the heat and humidity rising from the crowd, elderly ladies wearing white gloves busily set up folding chairs in the narrow aisles and urged those sitting in the pews to make room for late arrivals.
All were gathered for the AME's Eleventh Episcopal District annual conference, at which hundreds of congregants, from Melbourne to Key West, would set policy, select new leaders, and chart a course for the coming year. Though few realized it, this year's conference held the possibility of marking a new era for the historic church, which was established in Philadelphia in 1787 by freed slaves who'd been prohibited from worshipping in white churches.
The supreme leader of Florida's six AME regions, Bishop John Hurst Adams, told the assembly to prepare for a socially progressive millennium. The church already had broken tradition earlier this year, when Rev. Vashti Murphy McKenzie was ordained as its first female bishop. �We're going to be sensitive to issues and calls of support before us,� Bishop Adams declared from a table in front of the altar. �Leadership is expanding the definition of what is possible where issues like justice, fairness, and opportunity are concerned.�
Behind a pulpit to the bishop's left, about fifteen church elders were gathered. One by one they approached a microphone and read the names and brief biographies of those who would lead the church into the 21st Century. New officers with titles such as licentiates, deacons, and elders were nominated for Bishop Adams's approval.
Squeezing into the last row of pews, Watkins sat expectantly. Two years of ecumenical study, which he completed this past summer, had qualified him for ordination as a deacon, and finally, almost two hours into the seemingly interminable roll call, his name was due to be announced. But the elders' alphabetical list jumped from �Thomas� to �Williams.� Watkins got up and quietly walked out of the church.
Bishop Adams's pronouncement that the AME Church was ready to break new ground evidently contained unspoken limits. Watkins and his gay and lesbian brethren, it seemed, stood outside those limits. Though crestfallen, Watkins claimed he wasn't really surprised. �This tells me it's just going to take some time,� he conceded shortly after the meeting. His personal struggle to forge a new path for the church would continue, though as this official rejection made obvious, it was not going to be easy. But then, doing the easy thing has not been the 25-year-old minister's style.
Since coming out of the closet three years ago, Watkins has waged several battles, publicly and privately, against homophobia. He was pressured to resign from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis in 1997, when a fellow midshipman with whom he claims to have had a relationship accused him of sexual harassment. (Watkins has denied the harassment allegation.) He sued the navy this past June after the service sought to charge him nearly $90,000 in tuition for the three years Watkins attended the academy. (The navy seeks such reimbursement when a midshipman leaves the academy voluntarily or because of misconduct. Watkins claims he was unfairly forced to resign. His lawsuit is pending before a federal judge in Baltimore.)
Following his breach with the navy, Watkins finished his degree at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach and then moved to Miami in 1998. The following year he began teaching mathematics at Christopher Columbus High, a private Catholic school. This past June Watkins filed a complaint under the county's human-rights ordinance after the school declined to renew his contract following publication of an article in the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel describing his gay and lesbian ministry at Greater Bethel, located at 245 NW Eighth St. (After an investigation the county closed the case, because the human-rights ordinance does not apply to religious organizations.)
These public conflicts, however, do not compare with his most personal one. Watkins's parents, devout Southern Baptists from Birmingham, Alabama, have distanced themselves from their son since he revealed his sexuality. He hasn't spoken with them since he filed the lawsuit against the navy.
The family ostracism, he says today, has only strengthened his religious faith and motivated him to help others who are rebuffed because they are gay. His Ministry of Reconciliation strives to aid in healing the emotional wounds suffered by those whose sexual orientation has led to them being abandoned by church and family. �If certain people can't come to God's house and serve, where are they going to go?� Watkins asks.
