Young Harris College's Theatre Young Harris to Present Inventive Satire "Museum"
YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. – Young Harris College's Theatre Young Harris will present seven performances of inventive American playwright Tina Howe's witty satire "Museum." Performances are scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 8, through Saturday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m. with a matinee on Sunday, Nov. 11, at 2 p.m., and Thursday, Nov. 15, through Saturday, Nov. 17, at 7 p.m. All performances will take place in Dobbs Theatre located inside Goolsby Center on the YHC campus. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for seniors 65+ or with YHC ID.
Directed by YHC Assistant Professor of Theatre Rachel Chaves, Ph.D., "Museum" takes a look at people looking at art—and examines the movement and yearning of these people. Art aficionados, culture snobs, skeptics, foreigners, unruly students, lost souls, fellow artists and one beleaguered security guard are brought together on the final day of a group show of three fictitious contemporary American artists at a major modern art museum. The show is recommended for mature audiences only.
The production features senior Chase Alford of Carrollton, Ga., senior Kendra Cowart of Murrayville, Ga., senior Paige Crawford of Tucker, Ga., freshman T'Arica Crawford of Buford, Ga., sophomore Lateefah Dooling of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., sophomore Gina Dropp of Kennesaw, Ga., sophomore Hope Fletcher of Tiger, Ga., sophomore Ptah Garvin of College Park, Ga., junior Hayley Hoopingarner of Woodstock, Ga., junior Ashley Johnson of Canton, Ga., sophomore Ben March of Blairsville, Ga., senior Evan McLean of Woodstock, Ga., sophomore Aaron Shepherd of Murfreesboro, Tenn., sophomore Benjamin Sims of Hiram, Ga., sophomore Chelsey Sizemore of Flintstone, Ga., sophomore Will Skelton of Hayesville, N.C., freshman Shanteria Stokes of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and freshman Tre Wright of Martin, Ga.
Immediately following the performances on Friday, Nov. 9, and Friday. Nov. 16, the student cover band Ellis and Iris will present a free concert in Dobbs Theatre. The band features Skelton and junior music major Mathilde Brun of Gavleborg, Sweden.
Theatre Young Harris is a performing arts organization of Young Harris College. Each season, the theatre company presents a full lineup of notable productions, including full-length musicals, innovative dramas, classic plays, children's shows and more. Auditions are open to students, faculty and staff of Young Harris College as well as the community.
Tickets are on sale now through the Young Harris College Box Office located in the Goolsby Center lobby. Box office hours are Monday-Friday, 3-5 p.m. Tickets may be purchased online anytime at www.yhc.edu/tickets.

text: It's actually been waaaay to long since we featured our old friend and TMA-1 collaborator Tomas Barfod on the blog - which is why a fresh Souncloud update from the Great Dane couldn't have come at a better time. In this mix that he created for Danish national radio show Unga Bunga in early 2013, he once again demonstrates his unparalleled ability for balancing mood and texture with rythm and beat. It's one of those melancholy-yet-uplifting selections that just might have you dancing with tears in your eyes, as the song goes. Failing that, listening to it while enjoying a good cup of coffee and looking at the falling snow through your window, should get you good and ready for 2014.

The J&W alumni office paints an even rosier scenario for students who have spent some time in the industry: "It is common to see executive chef and food and beverage director postings from employers seeking J&W alumni to run between an average of $70,000 and $80,000, with some offering compensation as high as the six-figure range." What it fails to mention is the length of time fortuitous grads must wait to board this gravy train. Susser estimates that workers "can move up to twelve to fourteen dollars an hour in about one to four more years, again depending upon talent," but adds that "until you're in the role of sous chef or chef de cuisine, you're an hourly employee."
Not that achieving sous chef standing is reason to uncork champagne: The Bureau of Labor lists the average salary for this position at $25,000 to $35,000 per year, a figure seconded by Michael Schwartz, chef/owner of Afterglo, who pays his sous chefs "in the low thirties." And reaching even this modest plateau can be time-consuming, as Jeffrey Brana, executive chef at Norman's, attests: "It took seven years before I earned $30,000."
Sous status also opens the door to finally receiving health insurance and basic benefits the latter of which, in the food service industry, basically means a week or two of paid vacation. Overtime? Don't be silly. Holiday pay? Yes, but you'll have to work the holidays to receive it and you will always, without choice, work the holidays. Sick days? There's an old restaurant adage: Call in sick only if you're dead.

When asked about such perks, Juliana Gonzalez, newly minted executive chef at Mosaico, laughs as she replies, "Not in here." Dewey LoSasso, chef/owner of North One 10, likewise chuckles at the notion. How long has it been since he's had Thanksgiving Day off? "Let's see, I've worked in restaurants since I was 13, now I'm 42...." But LoSasso draws the line come Christmastime: "In my job interviews I'd explain that I was from a large Italian family, and how it was a big thing. Because I was the sort of worker who'd come in when he wasn't on schedule and be fanatical about his work, I was given the day off when I was a dishwasher, prep cook, always. Truth is, I like playing with my toys."
LoSasso still likes working in a kitchen, too, and does so six days a week. "That doesn't include all the computer work you do at home when you can't sleep financial data, budgets, menu ideas. But for me it's always been fun, never about the work. It's always been Disney World," he says. According to Susser, that's the only attitude which will get you through: "The restaurant world looks romantic and sexy, but there are only a handful of star chefs out there. You'd better love to cook before you enter the business."
Of Iron Chefs and Tin Cooks
"How many of you want to be a chef?" asked an instructor at the Culinary Institute of America. Most of those in the class raised their hands (the few who didn't no doubt aiming for other positions in the ever-expanding food and beverage business). "Too bad," tsked-tsked the teacher, "because I'm here to make you cooks." Jonathan Eismann, chef/owner of Pacific Time restaurant, relates this story to illustrate the importance of learning to walk before you run, and the impatience of students to do so.
"Nobody wants to put time in to really learn the trade," says Schwartz. "Now they go to school two years, come out, and they're öa chef.'"
Relates Sindaco: "It's a joke. Take a look at the help-wanted pages; you'll see ads for line chefs and salad chefs. Nobody wants to be a cook anymore." Michelle Bernstein, Johnson & Wales's most accomplished North Miami alumnus, wishes that students "would be taught a little more humility. They shouldn't put it into these kids' heads that they're going to graduate and instantly become chefs, or even really good line cooks. The school should give them a glimpse into the workloads they can look forward to, and let them know they have to be open to working many hours without pay, and to be sponges, to absorb what people teach them rather than show off what they've learned in their two or four years."
In this age of the seven-minute chicken, maybe it shouldn't shock that students are eager to leapfrog into the elite strata of professional chefdom. Yet arriving at that level doesn't necessarily mean an end to the drearier aspects of the job. Brana notes how "there have been many days when a dishwasher doesn't show up, and the recent grads in my kitchen are taken aback to see me and my sous chef in the back washing pots. They are even more surprised when, being the low men on the totem pole, they are asked to peel potatoes or mop floors with the dishwasher at the end of the night."
They'd likely be stunned to witness the trials endured by those toiling in an Old World apprenticeship. Only in recent decades, and most prominently in America, has a culinary diploma been deemed de rigueur. Most who eyed careers in the kitchen trade worked their way into the field via a system of indenture that dates back to medieval times (when, in order to avoid forgeries, apprenticeship certificates were torn in half and the ripped edge of the student's copy then matched with the master's for verification of proper training).

Watch out Miley! You're starting to look way too thin! Take a break from the gym and eat something!
There's no denying that Hollywood is a cut-throat place, especially for actresses. There's always someone someone younger, prettier and thinner waiting in the wings. Industry veteran, Miley Cyrus, knows this all too well.
Despite her talent and undeniable good looks, Miley's career is at a standstill. While her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth's career is taking off, first with Hunger Games and now with The Expendables 2, Miley is being passed over for leading roles left and right.
She's completely jealous that her friends, Vanessa Hudgens, Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez, are getting new roles and opportunities and poor Miley feels left behind. "Miley is more frustrated with the lack of offers for films like Journey 2 and Spring Breakers," a source exclusively tells HollywoodLife.com.
Miley has been trying to stay positive about her floundering film career and focus on getting her body into tip-top shape, but her new obsession is becoming unhealthy! According to earlier reports, Miley is eating less than 1000 calories a day and has lost 25 pounds in only two months!
What's worse — Miley is showing no signs of slowing down. She's running and taking Pilates every day and is becoming obsessed about every morsel she consumes. "She may have a personal goal of being under 110 pounds. That's the magic number for a lot of celebrities," Alicia Hunter, weight expert and author of The Accidental Diet: From Fugly to Fox, tells HollywoodLife.com.
Miley, if you continue down this path, you're putting yourself at risk of developing an eating disorder! Love your body and eat some ice cream already!
Do YOU think Miley looks too skinny, HollywoodLifers?

i think she looks fantastic and i don't think for a second that she's eating less than 1000 calories. she's working out, and eating healthy, and she's young! of course she's going to shed that baby fat that she had! she looked fine before, but she looks FIT now. i will agree though, that if she keeps getting smaller it could be worrisome. but, at this stage, she looks good and seems to be very health conscious. there is nothing wrong with exercising, toning up, eating healthy, and showing off a beautiful body. so people should chill… she's not even close to the ridiculously skinny out of nowhere that happens to most celebs.
Posted at 5:45 PM on May 1, 2012
There's no proof that Miley Cyrus is jealous of those girls. She's richer than all three of them, and just because some anonymous 'source' spreads a rumor about a celebrity doesn't mean it's true. Everyone who has common sense knows that. You'd think that people who run a celebrity website would know that and not blindly accept all celebrity rumors as pure truth.
As for her health and weight, I've tried to calculate her BMI. Miley is either 5'4″ or 5'5″. If she's 5'4″ and weighs 110 pounds, that means she's still within a healthy weight range for her height and weight, but that she definitely shouldn't try to lose any more. However, if she is 5'5″ and weighs 110 pounds, that puts her at a BMI index of 18.3 and makes her 5 pounds underweight.
She may be starving herself in addition to the exercise, or she may not. Either way, she definitely needs to stop losing weight.

I love animals especially bald eagles because they're patriotic as fuck but if I said I didn't laugh out loud when that thing flew full speed in a gigantic plate glass window I'd be lying plain and simple. The jubilant crowd chanting USA! USA! followed immediately by the shrieks and groans as it knocks itself unconscious gets me every time. Fucking Oral Roberts. No more school spirit for you.

@Morello: I for one am looking forward to seeing the new changes to Eve, and I don't doubt that you guys are working hard on making the changes (as with stealth in general). However, somewhere previously in the huge discussion, people were asking about if you guys would stop making new champions and instead create new maps and other features. My question to you is, is the Riot team working on trying to produce a new map for the LoL players to use at this time, as well as other new features for the game? I know that you are very restricted on what you're allowed to release, so I'm not expecting details. However, after the question was raised and seeing that you have been amazing at not only answering questions, but maintaining communication with players that have concerns and complaints, perhaps you could quickly shed a little light on the subject? If not, I still admire how you show kindness and cooperation to the community while maintaining communication of what's going on in the land of Riot's Development.
This is the first thread I've seen that has completely addressed almost all of my concerns and questions on an issue, I'm actually content to drop the topic myself until it's done. (Usually it's a depressing dodge around I see depending on =/ )
I know this is an eve thread and all, but I would really like any news on xin zhao and since you seem to be actively engaging with the player base at the moment morello, could you please tell us what your current plans for xin zhao are? Even if it is "nothing" I'm sure many people would like an answer.

In many parts of the West, fire suppression has caused a proliferation of smaller trees and other kindling that can allow wildfires to burn very intensely and reach into the canopy. The government has been treating an increasing number of acres with prescribed burns and mechanical thinning projects compared to a decade or two ago, but the scope of the problem is enormous. This dashboard breaks down the fuels work by agency, type of treatment, and whether it was located in the wildland-urban interface, where homes and businesses are at greatest risk. Also included is spending data from the Forest Service, which devotes much of its yearly budget to wildfires.

Nolan resigned Monday from the same position with the Denver Broncos and was previously DC under Bill Parcells when he was general manager of the NY Jets. He was also head coach of the San Francisco 49ers from 2005 until 2008, when he was memorably fired midseason.
In Denver, his defense finished seventh in the league, and he helped the team start with a 6-0 record before the Broncos dropped eight of their last ten games.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Dining here feels like a privilege, and it is. While the restaurant can be reached from the casino floor of the MGM Grand, it officially "belongs" to the Mansion section of the hotel, a cluster of Italianate villas reserved for high rollers. There are only 64 tables, and soft classical piano music fills the void between silverware clinks and light laughter. There are several prix fixe options starting at $89, but the best option is the 16-course degustation menubut be prepared to spend nearly $400 per person (without wine) and more than four hours. (Hey, it's a better deal than bottle service in a nightclub.) The menu dashes all over the place: Kobe beef cooked on a bed of rock salt with a vegetable fricassee; Japanese snapper floating in a rich broth made of lily bulbs; French hen with roasted foie gras. All are phenomenal in taste and presentation. For a higher-energy and lower-cost dinner, L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon is the chef's bistro-style eatery next door. Sit at the counter, where you can interact with the team of French chefs. There's a tasting menu here too, but it runs ten courses and costs considerably less; there's also a three-course "bento box" for only $39.
Both restaurants open Sundays through Thursdays 5:30 to 10 pm, Fridays and Saturdays 5:30 to 10:30 pm.

A cryoseism, also known as an ice quake or a frost quake,[1][2] may be caused by a sudden cracking action in frozen soil or rock saturated with water or ice.[3] As water drains into ground, it may eventually freeze and expand under colder temperatures, putting stress on its surroundings. This stress builds up until relieved explosively in the form of a cryoseism.[4]
Another type of cryoseism is a non-tectonic seismic event caused by sudden glacial movements. This movement has been attributed to a veneer of water which may pool underneath a glacier sourced from surface ice melt. Hydraulic pressure of the liquid can act as a lubricant, allowing the glacier to suddenly shift position.[5][6] This type of cryoseism can be very brief, or may last for several minutes.[7]
The requirements for a cryoseism to occur are numerous; therefore, accurate predictions are not entirely possible and may constitute a factor in structural design and engineering when constructing in an area historically known for such events.[3] Speculation has been made between global warming and the frequency of cryoseisms.[7]
Cryoseisms are often mistaken for minor intraplate earthquakes.[3][8] Initial indications may appear similar to those of an earthquake with tremors, vibrations, ground cracking and related noises,[2] such as thundering or booming sounds.[4] Cryoseisms can however be distinguished from earthquakes through meteorological and geological conditions.[3] Cryoseisms can have an intensity of up to VI on the Modified Mercalli Scale.[3] Furthermore, cryoseisms often exhibit high intensity in a very localized area,[2] in the immediate proximity of the epicenter,[8] as compared to the widespread effects of an earthquake.[3] Due to lower frequency vibrations of cryoseisms,[5] some seismic monitoring stations may not record their occurrence.[8] Although cryoseisms release less energy than most tectonic events,[9] they can still cause damage or significant changes to an affected area.[2]
Some reports have indicated the presence of "distant flashing lights" before or during a cryoseism, possibly due to electrical changes when rocks are compressed.[4] Cracks and fissures may also appear as surface areas contract and split apart from the cold.[2][8] These sometime superficial to moderate occurrences may range from a few centimetres to several kilometres long, with either singular or multiple linear fracturing and vertical or lateral displacement possible.[3]
Geocryological processes were identified as a possible cause of tremors as early as 1818.[3] In the United States, such events have been reported throughout the Midwestern, Northern and Northeastern United States[4] in Connecticut,[2] Indiana,[10] Maine,[2] Massachusetts,[2] Michigan,[2] Missouri,[10] Ohio[11] New York,[2] Vermont[2][8] and Wisconsin.[1]
Cryoseisms also occur in Canada, especially along the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence corridor, where winter temperatures can shift very rapidly.[12][13] They have surfaced in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces.[12]
Glacier-related cryoseism phenomena have been reported in Alaska,[14] Greenland,[15] Iceland (Grímsvötn).,[16] Ross Island,[9] and the Antarctic Prince Charles Mountains.[17]
Southern Ontario experienced numerous, albeit unverified, frost quakes on December 24, 2013,[18][19] and more severe, waking a great many from sleep, on December 30, 2013 at 3:00 AM and later at 7:00 AM,[20] as a result of the 2013 Central and Eastern Canada ice storm.[21] However, the loud cracking sounds attributed to frost quakes are better explained as contraction of building structures due to the rapid change in temperature. [22]
The towns of Cornwall, Middlebury, Ripton, and Weybridge, Vermont experienced the same phenomenon after the same weather conditions with the loudest occurring around 4:50am on December 25. Essex County in New York experienced cryoseisms as late as December 31, 2013. Numerous frost quakes again occurred in the Greater Toronto Area around 2:00 AM January 3, 2014, and January 7, 2014 overnight.[12] Many cryoseisms were also reported near Lac-Mégantic, in the Eastern Townships (Québec, Canada), in the last days of December 2013.[citation needed]
On March 4, 2014 the city of Calgary experienced a loud "BOOM" like sound at 5pm and many people are attributing this to cryoseism. [23]
Cryoseisms typically occur when temperatures rapidly decrease from above freezing to subzero, in the first cold snap of spring,[2][8] usually between midnight and dawn (during the coldest parts of night).[3] However, due to the permanent nature of glacial ice, glacier-related cryoseisms may also occur in the warmer months of summer.[5] In general, cryoseisms occur 3 to 4 hours after significant changes in temperature.[24] Perennial or seasonal frost conditions involved with cryoseisms limit these events to temperate climates that experience seasonal variation with subzero winters. Additionally, the ground must be saturated with water, which can be caused by snowmelt, rain, sleet or flooding.[3] The site of a cryoseism generally has little or no snow cover to insulate the ground.[2][3] Geologically, areas of permeable materials like sand or gravel, which are susceptible to frost action, are likelier candidates for cryoseisms.[3] Following large cryoseisms, little to no seismic activity will be detected for several hours, indicating that accumulated stress has been relieved.[24]

Roles of iron acquisition systems in virulence of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli: salmochelin and aerobactin contribute more to virulence than heme in a chicken infection model

Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) and uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) are the two main subsets of extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC). Both types have multiple iron acquisition systems, including heme and siderophores. Although iron transport systems involved in the pathogenesis of APEC or UPEC have been documented individually in corresponding animal models, the contribution of these systems during simultaneous APEC and UPEC infection is not well described. To determine the contribution of each individual iron acquisition system to the virulence of APEC and UPEC, isogenic mutants affecting iron uptake in APEC E058 and UPEC U17 were constructed and compared in a chicken challenge model.
Salmochelin-defective mutants E058Δ iroD and U17Δ iroD showed significantly decreased pathogenicity compared to the wild-type strains. Aerobactin defective mutants E058Δ iucD and U17Δ iucD demonstrated reduced colonization in several internal organs, whereas the heme defective mutants E058Δ chuT and U17Δ chuT colonized internal organs to the same extent as their wild-type strains. The triple mutant Δ chuT Δ iroD Δ iucD in both E058 and U17 showed decreased pathogenicity compared to each of the single mutants. The histopathological lesions in visceral organs of birds challenged with the wild-type strains were more severe than those from birds challenged with Δ iroD, Δ iucD or the triple mutants. Conversely, chickens inoculated with the Δ chuT mutants had lesions comparable to those in chickens inoculated with the wild-type strains. However, no significant differences were observed between the mutants and the wild-type strains in resistance to serum, cellular invasion and intracellular survival in HD-11, and growth in iron-rich or iron-restricted medium.
Results indicated that APEC and UPEC utilize similar iron acquisition mechanisms in chickens. Both salmochelin and aerobactin systems appeared to be important in APEC and UPEC virulence, while salmochelin contributed more to the virulence. Heme bounded by ChuT in the periplasm appeared to be redundant in this model, indicating that other periplasmic binding proteins likely contributed to the observed no phenotype for the heme uptake mutant. No differences were observed between the mutants and their wild-type parents in other phenotypic traits, suggesting that other virulence mechanisms compensate for the effect of the mutations.

Obama Under Fire for Backing Deal to Lift Global Ban on Commerci. President Obama is under fire for backing a deal to lift a 24-year-old international ban on commercial whaling.
(AP) Environmentalists, already peeved with the administration's handling of the Gulf oil spill, are accusing President Obama of breaking his campaign pledge to end the slaughter of whales. Pierce Brosnan Takes President Obama to Task on Whaling Issue - 06/04/2010 at 05:10 PM EDT As British spy James Bond, Pierce Brosnan battled many fictional bad guys – but now the actor is fighting for a good cause: He wants to help save the whales.
In a new PSA for the International Fund for Animal Welfare, Brosnan directly addresses President Barack Obama, telling him that "whales face more threats today than ever before" from everything from pollution to professional whalers to climate change. Wayne Pacelle: While Australia Leads for Whales, U.S. Lags. Humane Society International and The Humane Society of the United States, together with actor Pierce Brosnan and his wife, Keely Shaye Smith, are asking supporters to take action to save whales -- again.
Nearly a quarter century after the moratorium on commercial whaling took effect, the threat to whales worldwide has never been greater. Whaling, toxic pollution, ship strikes, noise pollution, and climate change are all factors in the endangerment of these creatures. This week, on the eve of the 62nd meeting of the International Whaling Commission in Agadir, Morocco, the government of Australia took a decisive step to protect whales, filing suit in the International Court of Justice against Japan's "scientific whaling" in the Southern Ocean.
Wayne Pacelle. The Humane Society of the United States: A personal mess. June 3, 2010 Dear Friend, I'm writing to you today because my friends at The Humane Society of the United States and I need your help.
More importantly, the whales of the world desperately need a hero. Unless we speak up now, the International Whaling Commission, which has banned commercial whaling for more than 25 years, may surrender to commercial whaling interests: It is poised to give its blessing to commercial whaling, even in the pristine waters of the Antarctic Southern Ocean Sanctuary. The Obama administration has the power to stop this cruelty. A License to Kill…Whales? « International Fund for Animal Welfar.
Pierce Brosnan issues license to save the whales. Delaware doesn't get many whales.
No matter. Pierce Brosnan wants you to help save them anyway. Pierce Brosnan Urges Obama to 'Save the Whales' The actor says the president's support of a new compromise bill is essentially a 'license to kill' cetaceans.
Former James Bond actor and longtime environmentalist environmentalist Pierce Brosnan is speaking out against a proposed plan, backed by the president, that would clear the way for Japan, Norway and Iceland to resume commercial whaling. In a guest column (appropriately called "A License to Kill ... Whales? ") for the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW,) Brosnan addresses the proposal that has the entire anti-whaling community up in arms.

Very nice, light-weight jacket with 3 good sized pockets; good ventilation and I like the elasticized cuffs. It packs well into my knapsack and is great for layering. I don't like the Velcro collar closure in my face when the hood is up and really wish it had some good reflective markings.
I spent the extra money on this and I'm glad I did. The small features on this jacket are really nice like the full body side zips. I use it for hiking, backpacking and mountain biking and looks good just wearing it around town. Also good for spring skiing. Hoods folds into the collar. Inside of the collar is super soft. Pockets are accessible even with a pack on. Love it.

@anon973556: Believe it or not, you can make a delicious dessert with fallen pound cake. Happened to me two years ago at Thanksgiving.
I tore the cake into pieces, layered it with vanilla pudding and sliced strawberries in a big bowl, and topped with Cool Whip. Presto! Punch bowl cake!
It's kind of like a trifle. Works great and you can use whatever flavor pudding, and whatever kind of sliced fruit you like. Works like a charm every time! Hope this helped you.

In MINUSTAH Abuse Case, Cover-Up Goes Unpunished |
Friday, 13 July 2012 10:34 |
In March, three Pakistani MINUSTAH troops were found guilty, sentenced to one year in prison and repatriated for the rape of a 14-year old Haitian boy. Although the trial was held on Haitian soil, it was a "military justice procedure…undertaken in accordance with the national laws of Pakistan," according to the UN. Additionally, Reuters reported at the time that "Haitian government authorities were given no advance notice of the military tribunal." Had the troops faced a Haitian court, their sentences would likely have been much longer. Had the troops had to face Haitian justice they may also have had to respond to further allegations that the Pakistani UN Mission tried to cover-up the crime, going so far as to kidnap the victim.
As "Experts on Mission", members of FPUs are inter alia "…immune from personal arrest or detention" and are immune from legal process of any kind "in respect of words spoken or written and acts done by them in the course of the performance of their mission". However, the Secretary-General has "…the right and the duty to waive the immunity of any expert in any case where, in his opinion, the immunity would impede the course of justice and it can be waived without prejudice to the interests of the United Nations". Rather than lift immunity and let the details of the case become public, the tribunal was held behind closed doors. Le Nouvelliste reported in May that the local authorities in Gonaïves investigating the case, and even the victim's family only learned of the tribunal through the media. While the three rapists have been repatriated and are serving short jail sentences, the MINUSTAH accomplices in the cover-up have not been held responsible. In responding to Klarreich's piece in the Christian Science Monitor, the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General in Haiti, Mariano Fernández Amunátegui addressed the sexual abuse allegations: I will not evade the cases of sexual exploitation and abuse, against which the United Nations are committed to enforce its zero tolerance policy. They are outrageous and totally unacceptable, and they are severely punished. Impunity does not prevail. Yet, while the UN has sought to portray this and other acts of sexual abuse as simple cases of "a few bad apples", the possible involvement of higher level MINUSTAH officials and multiple bases to cover-up a rape should raise serious questions about the commitment to accountability and "zero tolerance" on the part of the UN. |

Ghadi Mansour al-Rahbani has written a new play, "A Ard el-Ghajar", that explores one man's complex relationship with his home country and a people of a very different culture.
The play is about an expatriate who returns to Lebanon to build a villa on the land that he inherited from his grandfather only to discover that a group of gypsies are living on it. The play premiered at Casino du Liban on February 16th.
Al-Rahbani discussed the musical with Al-Shorfa.
Al-Shorfa: Tell us about "A Ard el-Ghajar".
Ghadi al-Rahbani: The play is about a Brazilian expatriate named Salvador Kozhaya Hussain, who is a businessman with Lebanese roots. He inherits from his grandfather a plot of land in Lebanon, and he returns to build a villa for his fiancée. He discovers that his land is occupied by a group of gypsies who have built a small community for themselves. As a result, he faces threats and is forced to leave the land.
Al-Shorfa: What are the main lessons that Salvador learns?
Al-Rahbani: He discovers how corrupt society is and that injustice prevails. He also finds out that some government officials in the region are complicit in protecting and providing support for the gypsies in exchange for personal and political reasons prior to the elections. He learns about poverty and how the gypsies live by relying on fortune telling and astrology. He also finds his true love, Zeina, the daughter of the head of the gypsy tribe.
There is a conflict at the heart of the play that asks what is more important, the land or people? It is a bold play in terms of its theme.
Al-Shorfa: Who did you collaborate with on the play?
Al-Rahbani: I am the writer, producer and composer. I worked with Marwan, Osama and Omar al-Rahbani on the music and music arrangement. Marwan was the director. Papou Lahoud, our fashion designer, captured in her designs the world and the colours of the gypsies. Felix Haroutiounian did the choreography and Sami Khoury was responsible for the dabkes. We worked with a host of designers, sound engineers, stage designers and technicians.
Al-Shorfa: Who plays the leading roles?
Al-Rahbani: Actor Ghassan Saliba plays the Brazilian expatriate and Aline Lahoud is the daughter of the head of the gypsy tribe. Other actors in the play include Paul Sleiman, Pierre Chamoun, and Assaad Haddad.
Al-Shorfa: Would you call this play a musical?
Al-Rahbani: It is a musical par excellence. We dedicated all our efforts to the script to convey the play's main message. The direction and design were fresh, and the choreography was notable for its movement and eclectic dancing. The scenery, costumes, décor and lighting were elaborate and innovative.
Al-Shorfa: Is the music new?
Al-Rahbani: We combine gypsy and Arabic music, and we offer the audience a colourful music experience that mirrors the lives of the gypsies. We researched different types of gypsy music throughout Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and some European countries, and we created an eclectic music form that supports the script and the dancing. We created a magnificent gypsy world but with the spirit of al-Rahabna. The music is new, and we recorded it with the Kiev City Symphonic Orchestra, conducted by maestro Vladimir Sirenko.
Al-Shorfa: To what extent is the spirit of your father Mansour in this play?
Al-Rahbani: That is for the audience to determine through the screenplay and the music.
Al-Shorfa: What differentiates you from your father in this play?
Al-Rahbani: The entire project is new starting with the screenplay, the dialogue, the music and how the theme is boldly presented through dark humour. The play moves along the border between reality and fiction. There are elements of truth to the story as well as imagination and innovation.
Al-Shorfa: Does that include your take on Lebanese immigration and the relationship with land?
Al-Rahbani: The play does not address immigration as much as it explores the struggle between what is more important, the land or people and whether people are subject to fate or have a role in their own destiny.
Al-Shorfa: Do you plan to travel the world with this play?
Al-Rahbani: We hope so, but it might be difficult to do in light of events in the Arab world even though the play's theme is universal.
Al-Shorfa: Is it a risk to stage a huge project in the midst of current events?
Al-Rahbani: We gamble as we continue living, and we seek to present a theatrical experience the audience can enjoy wherever they might be because we continue to be optimistic.

Bing.com to double cashback starting August 10, 2009 for a limited time – if you need to buy online, buy now!
Posted By Ashraf On August 9, 2009 @ 11:48 PM In I suck at spellings,Tips 'n Tricks | 3 Comments
***This is for USA residents only. Sorry rest of the world!***
By a raise of hands how many dotTechies know of Microsoft sponsored Bing.com Cashback (formerly known as Live.com Cashback)? I learned of this cashback program last year (figured most people know about it so no use creating an article on it) and have been using it to save money while buying online (mostly eBay) for a while. For those that know about this great cashback program, let me explain quickly.
As most people know, Microsoft has been lately been very aggressive in their attempt to increase their search engine share and knock Google down a notch or two. Bing.com Cashback started as Live.com Cashback as Microsoft's way to entice people to use Microsoft's Live.com search engine (now Bing.com) and has since become an online shopper's goldmine. Basically what this cashback program does is if you access any of the many online stores that participate in this program via a link from Bing.com, you will get an X% amount of cash back from your total purchase price. Let me explain by examples.
Say I want to purchase an HP laptop. Currently Bing.com cash back for HP is at 5%. So…
Now the above HP example is one way to using Bing.com Cashback. Another way is by literally searching on Bing.com. I will again show by example.
Lets say I want to buy a toothbrush. Therefore I go to Bing.com [4] and search for "toothbrush" (without the quotes). In the search results for toothbrush the first sponsered result is a 20% Bing.com Cashback for Drugstore.com:
So I click on the link, enter my e-mail (just like above), purchase a toothbrush from Drugstore.com and get 20% cashback (just like the above HP example). The great thing about this second method is that the cashback received by actually searching on Bing.com is usually higher than if you went to Bing.com's Cashback page (i.e. Drugstore.com cashback is only at 10% via the Cashback page as opposed to 20% via Bing.com actual searching).
While I am on the subject of using cashback via the Bing.com search engine let me point out that eBay is also a participating Bing.com cashback location. If you purchase items via "Buy it now" and pay with PayPal on eBay you can get cashback. However you must go to eBay via Bing.com search engine.
For example, look at the above search of "toothbrush". The second sponsored link is to eBay with 8% cashback:
Clicking on that link will take you to eBay.com with a cashback banner at the top:
If I buy something with "Buy it Now" and pay with PayPal I get 8% cash back to my PayPal account. eBay cashback is instant.
Of course there are some limitations on this, such as some stores won't let you stack a coupon with cashback and you are limited to $200 cash back via eBay per transaction, but Bing.com Cashback can potentially save you a ton of money (read the Bing.com Cashback FAQ [8] and the special terms and conditions [9] that apply to eBay cashback for more info).
Anyway, the point of this post was not to introduce Bing.com Cashback (even though I kind of did), but to inform dotTechies that starting August 10, 2009 Microsoft is increasing the cashback % on many stores for a limited time in Microsoft's "back to school" promo! Some stores are seeing cashback increase by almost 2x! According to my, uh, "sources", this is an example of the possible cashback increase:
Drugstore.com – 25% (Note: prescription drugs are not eligible for cashback)
Ebags – 30%
Overstock – 20%
Sears – 15%
Circuit City – 12.5%
Shoebuy – 20%
Tiger Direct – 12.5%
eBay – 15% Update: eBay only 10% – use keyboard "camera"
Eastbay.com – 50%
This list is not inclusive at all and many other stores cashback will also double and/or increase. So if you are looking to make an online purchase now is a great time to do it!
Hope this helps save dotTechies a lot of money.
Update: I have decided to create a running forum post [10] on what Bing.com search keywords get extra % cashback (such as the toothbrush example above). Please post there [10] if you find any (including for eBay).

Bargain-Basement Picks From a Hedge Fund
In mid-February, the last of the fourth-quarter disclosures rolled in for hedge funds and other notable investors. We have found that, despite the delay in many of these 13-F filings, it is still possible to use them to develop profitable investment strategies. The most popular small-cap stocks among hedge funds, for example, outperform the S&P 500 by an average of 18 percentage points per year. If you look at 13-Fs as sources of ideas from top market players, you can proceed to refine these ideas further or do more research on interesting names.
With that in mind, let's take a look at the cheap stocks held by billionaire Richard Chilton's Chilton Investment -- that is, stocks priced at no more than 16x their trailing and forward price-to-earnings ratios.
As of Dec. 31, Chilton owned more than seven million shares of Corning (GLW - Get Report), making the stock its seventh-largest holding overall. Corning, which provides materials for display screens and other purposes, saw revenue rise 14% year over year last quarter, though earnings were down sharply. Judging by the trailing P/E of 11x, the market is expecting a stable to declining profit in the medium term. Wall Street analysts are only mildly optimistic, with consensus 2014 estimates implying a forward earnings multiple of 10x. While the stock is cheap, we would want to see its business stabilize before we'd consider it on a value basis.
This article originally appeared on March 18, 2013, on RealMoney. To read more content like this + see inside Jim Cramer's $3 Million portfolio for FREE Click Here NOW.
Auto-parts retailer AutoZone (AZO - Get Report), with $14 billion in market capitalization, was Chilton's eighth-largest position at about 230,000 shares. Given its business focus, AutoZone has little exposure to the broader economy, so the stock's beta is 0.2. The company's financial performance has been somewhat stable, with only limited growth on both top and bottom lines, although the shares trade at 16x trailing earnings. We think the company would need higher growth in order for the stock to be undervalued at that price point. Chilton also added a small number of shares to its position in Avago Technologies (AVGO - Get Report), an $8.8 billion-market-cap semiconductor-device designer based in Singapore. The stock, Chilton's ninth-largest holding, has dipped a bit in the last year against a rising market, and revenue growth has been limited. This is not a positive development, considering that the trailing earnings multiple is 16x. The sell side expects considerable earnings growth over the next couple of years, translating into a forward P/E of 13x. Still, we would prefer to avoid Avago until it has shown that it can grow earnings and hit analyst targets.Select the service that is right for you!

Specifications at maximum gain of 26 dB and 100-MHz input frequency are: 9.7-dB noise figure, 44-dBm OIP3, and –100 dBc HD3. The parts are suited for medical, T&M, wireless communications, and microwave backhaul applications.They support dc/ac coupling and single-ended-to-differential conversion which eliminates the need for a balun, giving designers the flexibility to operate from dc to high frequencies with minimal external components. Gain control can be implemented via SPI bus or dedicated pins, with no external resistors needed.In addition, the LMH6882's channel gain matching of 0.2 dB and phase matching of 1.5 degrees provide excellent image rejection for wideband zero IF and I/Q sampling applications. The LMH6881 is available in a 24-pin QFN package and the LMH6882 in a 36-pin QFN package.(ea/1,000; LMH6882, $3.71; LMH6881, $5.95 — available now)By Christina NickolasTexas Instruments, Dallas, TXInformation800-477-8924www.ti.com Learn more about Texas Instruments Purchase the LMH6881 LMH6881EVAL/NOPB LMH6881SQE/NOPB LMH6881SQENOPB LMH6881SQ/NOPB LMH6881SQNOPB LMH6881SQX/NOPB Purchase the LMH6882 LMH6882EVAL/NOPB LMH6882SQE/NOPB LMH6882SQENOPB LMH6882SQ/NOPB LMH6882SQNOPB LMH6882SQX/NOPB Add Comment Text Only 2000 character limit Please login to comment on the article

Though taking a timelapse over a few hours with an app like Lapse It might be interesting, what's more touching is a timelapse that takes place over a longer period of time. You can keep track of your baby's growth, or just watch yourself change over time. PhotoChron is a great little app that lets you take regular photos and turn them into a great little timelapse.
Developer Andy Dyer-Smith had a baby sometime last year, and decided to keep track of his growth. That's why he created PhotoChron: now, he can take a photo every day, week, or month to track Isaac's growth. In just a few short weeks, he was able to make this 9-second video that already shows how Isaac's been growing:
Now imagine doing it with your child–or yourself. PhotoChron can set up daily, weekly, or monthly reminders to take scheduled photos, so no matter what you're timelapsing you can always remember. After you've taken a pile of pictures, you can export the video as HD or SD, and upload it to Facebook, YouTube, Google+, or just email to share it with your friends and family.
The developer knew that not everyone's a perfect photographer, and especially with their phone cameras. If you mess up a shot, you can always crop it to realign it. It goes to show that the developer didn't just build this app and shove it out into the world, but that he instead sat down with the app and used it himself. If you're looking for an app that takes long-term timelapses and was designed by a developer that eats their own dogfood, PhotoChron is the perfect app for you.

With the advances in trauma care, chronic fracture dislocation of the ankle is not a condition commonly seen in modern clinical practice. When encountered, it can be difficult to preserve the ankle joint. We present a case of a 65-year-old female, with a chronic fracture dislocation of the ankle. The ankle joint was subluxated with posterior translation of the talus, displacement of the posterior malleolus fragment, and a distal fibula fracture. A minimally traumatic approach was devised to treat this complex fracture dislocation which included gradual reduction of the ankle with a Taylor spatial frame, followed by stabilization with internal fixation and removal of the frame. Bony union and restoration of the ankle joint congruency was achieved.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Football League North and Football League South divisions of the Football League were created for the League to continue while limiting the amount of movement that was required by teams. The Leagues started in 1941; however, the leagues only had one full season, in 1945–46. Previous seasons were, in a sense, bit-part leagues with clubs only playing teams that were generally local. An example of this is that in the 1942 Football League North Leeds United played Middlesbrough, Gateshead, Newcastle United, Doncaster Rovers, Sunderland, Bradford Park Avenue, York City, Halifax Town and Huddersfield Town, which they played Home and Away in succession.[1]
The two Leagues consisted of all the members of The First and Second Divisions of the Football League split on a purely geographical basis. The 1945–46 full season was instituted as a precursor to the resumption of the previous divisional split in force prior to World War II. As the war had only just finished travel was sometimes difficult to arrange, many of the players were still away and the teams often included guests.
Sheffield United were the Champions of League North and Birmingham City were the Champions of League South for the only full season in 1945-46.
Results and players' contributions do not tend to be included in official statistics.

Iain Duncan Smith calls benefit rises unfair
It is unfair for benefits to rise at a faster rate than wages, the work and pensions secretary has said ahead of a key Commons vote on capping benefits.
Figures highlighted by Iain Duncan Smith show jobless benefits rose 20% in the last five years, compared with an average 12% rise in private sector pay.
He said benefits should no longer automatically increase with inflation.
But Labour said job seekers allowance had failed to keep pace with wages over the past 10 years.
MPs are due to debate legislation on Tuesday which is designed to break the link between benefit rises and inflation.
Instead there will be a three-year cap of 1% - which is below the expected rise in the cost of living - on most working-age benefits and tax credits for three years from 2013/14.
Child benefit, housing benefit and universal credit will be capped for two years from 2014/15.
The Opposition, who will fight the 1% cap, say that job seekers allowance has risen by 32% over the past decade, whereas wages have gone up by 36%.
BBC political correspondent Gary O'Donoghue said that these are not new figures from either the government or the Labour party.
"But this is not really a row over numbers - this is a battle to win not just a Parliamentary vote, but the public argument over whether those on benefits should feel the squeeze to the same extent as those in work," our correspondent said.
'Tightening belts'Chancellor George Osborne told MPs in his Autumn Statement last month that the incomes of those on out-of-work benefits had risen "twice as fast as those in work" over the last five years.
Mr Duncan Smith said that working families had been tightening their belts after years of pay restraint while watching benefits rise - and that, he said, was not fair.
Increases had cost the taxpayer £6.3bn since the start of the 2008 recession, he said.
"The welfare state under Labour effectively trapped thousands of families into dependency as it made no sense to give up the certainty of a benefit payment in order to go back to work.
"This government is restoring fairness to the system and universal credit will ensure it always pays to be in work."
Shadow work and pensions secretary Liam Byrne said cuts to tax credits had pushed millions of working families into poverty and now meant thousands of part-time workers were "better off on benefits".
"Now he wants to hit working families again with his strivers tax bill. Yet this omnishambles government thinks it's right to give an average £107,000 tax cut for 8,000 millionaires," he said.
"This Tory-led government is comprehensively out of touch with the reality of Britain's working families."

It kinda makes sense, after all, I am loading X driver modules in that kernel. But the kernel is compiled with gcc 2.95.3 (as recommended), and X is compiled with gcc 3.2.3.

Published on Jun 10, 2013 11:04 PM
HALLE, Germany (AFP) - Roger Federer is hoping to kick-start his tennis season on the Halle grass this week as he goes in search of a morale-boosting first tournament success this season.
The 31-year-old top seed has not won a single trophy this season but is still the all-time most successful player in the Halle ATP tournament's 20-year history.
He won it for the first of five times in 2003, the same year he landed his first Wimbledon title.
"I would like to lift my first trophy of the season in Halle... it would give me a confidence boost," said the Swiss.
