Wildlife species which have been translocated between temperate and tropical regions of the world provide unique opportunities to understand how disease processes may be affected by environmental conditions. European mouflon sheep (Ovis gmelini musimon) from the Mediterranean Islands were introduced to the Hawaiian Islands for sport hunting beginning in 1954 and were subsequently hybridized with feral domestic sheep (O. aries), which had been introduced in 1793. Three isolated mouflon populations have become established in the Hawaiian Islands but diseases in these populations have been little studied. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare gross and histologic lesions in respiratory, renal, and hepatic systems of free-ranging sheep in two isolated volcanic environments on Hawai'i Island. Tissue and fecal samples were collected in conjunction with population reductions during February 2011. We found gross or histologic evidence of lungworm infection in 44/49 sheep from Mauna Loa which were exposed to gaseous emissions from Kīlauea Volcano. In contrast, only 7/50 sheep from Mauna Kea had lesions consistent with lungworm, but Mauna Kea sheep had significantly more upper respiratory tract inflammation and hyperplasia consistent with chronic antigenic stimulation, possibly associated with exposure to fine airborne particulates during extended drought conditions. We hypothesize that gasses from Kīlauea Volcano contributed to severity of respiratory disease principally associated with chronic lungworm infections at Mauna Loa; however, there were numerous other potentially confounding environmental factors and interactions that merit further investigation.Geospatial Extents

Cool!! Unique book shelf! Are you throwing a used dresser away? Is there a usable drawer? Make it a bookshelf for the library wall or for the reading corner. This shelf can be mounted on the wall going sideways (as shown) OR stand it up and stack the books on top of each other. IF the base is unsteady, just mount it to another piece of wood.

Great idea! Design Envy · Local Farming New Orleans: Ellen Macomber
Ellen Macomber is my neighbor. When her kitchen cabinets were being replaced she hated to see them trashed, so she came up with a very creative solution: using them as containers to grow a vegetable garden. Only one more challenge… We live in the French Quarter in New Orleans, as do rats and mice. Ellen's plan wasn't to help these vermin get their roughage, no. Instead, Ellen made a hanging garden. Genius!

Rash of burglaries prompts meeting in KillingtonMay 08,2013By Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer
KILLINGTON - The public is invited to attend a neighborhood watch meeting at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Sherburne Memorial Library.
"It's important for citizens to get involved as much as they can, when they can," said Whit Montgomery, Killington's first constable.
The town has seen seven burglaries in recent months, with six of the seven happening in second homes. Montgomery said six of the seven appear to be connected and asked the public to attend the meeting and to keep an eye out for suspicious activity.
"I just urge people to be vigilant and if they see something strange or out of place to not be afraid to pick up the phone and report it," Montgomery said.MORE IN This Just InCASTLETON The Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation is about to launch an $800,...

text: Fur trappers established the first permanent settlement in what would become the state of Wyoming. Located near the confluence of the Platte and Laramie rivers, the outpost was originally known as Fort William, in honor of William Sublette, the captain of the mountain men who first camped here on the night of 30 May 1834. Sublette's company, Sublette & Campbell, established themselves here in an attempt to compete with the already mighty American Fur Company, owned by John Jacob Astor. Earlier that year, the two competing companies had reached an agreement: Sublette would abandon his outposts on the Upper Missouri and, in exchange, Astor would abandon his trade in the central Rockies. In Sublette's estimation, Fort William would provide a perfect location for conducting trade with the Sioux and Cheyenne. In the constant merry-go-round of the fur trade, Sublette quickly sold out to the Rocky Mountain Fur Company (Fort Lucien) which then quickly sold out to Pierre Chouteau, who rebuilt the outpost and called it Fort John. But none of this could forestall the reality that the beavers were trapped out and the buffalo trade needed the Missouri River for efficiency. Nor did all the name changes do anything but help to insure the name by which it would be known forever – Fort Laramie, for its location. Throughout its history, Fort Laramie's most important function was probably its role as the primary way station on the westward journey. Nearly everyone of any importance frequented it: Thomas Fitzpatrick, Jim Bridger, Marcus Whitman, Jason Lee, Narcissa Whitman, Pierre De Smet, David Mitchell, Alfred Jacob Miller, Francis Parkman… Too many to name. In 1843, close to a thousand emigrants, including children, passed by the fort and, in the years that followed, it became increasingly evident that the primary role of the fort had become supplying the westward expansion. The U.S. government finally purchased the post, now in a dilapidated and sorry state, in late 1849. It took on a central position in the government's relationship both with the Plains Indian tribes as well as the westward bound emigrants. In 1851, it was tapped to host a multi-tribe treaty conference aimed at negotiating rights of free passage through Indian lands for the emigrants. And, in 1868, it would be the site of the great Sioux Treaty Council. Troops would remain stationed at Fort Laramie until 1890, witnessing and participating in all the great dramas of the westward migration and settlement. In 1890, the fort was abandoned and the 35,000 acre military reserve was opened for homesteading. Its buildings were sold at auction and a long period of neglect began. The ghosts around Fort Laramie would not die, however, and in the 1950s, just as the site seemed doomed to crumble, the National Park Service stepped in and reclaimed the site and history of Fort Laramie for all the generations to come. National Park Service Comprehensive Management Plan The site is a National Historic Landmark, administered by the National Park Service. There are no known threats. Ownership Public (NPS) Directions Goshen County, Wyoming. T26N/R64W. Follow the signs to the old fort site from the town of Fort Laramie on US 26.

Driven apparently by the logic "out of sight, out of mind", the British government on Friday imposed a ban on the display of cigarette packets in shops, saying the move was aimed at discouraging young people from taking to smoking.
Cigarette packets disappeared from supermarket shelves across England and went literally under the counter as the long-threatened ban finally came into force amid fury among smokers who denounced it as yet another "assault" on their freedom on top of the existing ban on public smoking.
Small shops have been spared for now and given three years to refit suitable shelves and counters to "hide" cigarette packets.
The government cited the Irish experience which, it claimed, showed that the measure could help in preventing young people from turning to smoking.
"We cannot ignore the fact that young people are recruited into smoking by colourful, eye-catching, cigarette displays. Most adult smokers started smoking as teenagers and we need to stop this trend," said Public Health Minister Anne Milton.
No evidence: critics
Critics, however, said there was no evidence from countries where such a ban already existed that it had stopped young people from smoking.
Anti-smoking campaigners welcomed the move saying it would contribute to a healthy lifestyle.
"It's essential that we create a culture that promotes and protects public health and tobacco legislation is a significant factor in making this happen," said Jo Butcher, of the National Children's Bureau. Cancer Research U.K. went a step further and demanded a ban on branding of cigarette packets as well.
"Of course we want to see the pack branding taken away as well. This is not a normal consumer product, it kills people. We want to protect the next generation of children," said a spokesperson.
Other countries where display is banned include Canada, Ireland, Iceland and Finland. A move by Scotland to introduce a similar ban has been delayed by protests from tobacco companies.

Burton US Open: Contenders
The hunt for the 08/09 Swatch TTR World Snowboard Champion is on. The final round rocks up in Vermont, as snowboarding phenomenon Shaun White looks to add yet another title to his considerable collection.
Finland's Peetu Piiroinen is the current world number one, following his victory in the Billabong Air & Style in Austria. White will have to perform strongly in both the halfpipe event on Saturday and the Slopestyle contest on Sunday, if he is to take the TTR World title for a second time.
The top riders are fighting for a coveted top five finish, which guarantees big cash rewards, and invites to the top events next season. US riders Chas Guldemond and Kevin Pearce are finishing strong, and with Pearce on home turf, anything could happen.
The women's contest is more open, with snowboarding phenomenon Jamie Anderson sitting in number one spot, as Germany's Silvia Mittermueller, Lisa Wiik of Norway and Sarka Pancochova are all looking for an upset.
Check out this preview video to find out who's on it and who's up for it, as we look forward to the 6Star Burton US Open in Vermont.

The Brussels sprout is a comparatively young vegetable, having been grown only since the 17th century. They originated somewhere in northern Europe (in Brussels, Belgium, is possible but still problematic) and made their way to the United States in the 18th century. Thomas Jefferson grew them at Monticello.
Brussels sprouts are incredibly healthful and nutritious and, like other members of the cabbage family, offer the same cancer-fighting benefits. They are also low in calories (65 calories per cup) and rich in fiber, vitamin C. Vitamin K, beta-carotene, vitamin B6, folic acid, thiamine and potassium.
Interestingly enough, while the Brussels sprout is, apparently, still the vegetable people love to hate, it has recently been discovered – or rediscovered – with impunity by American chefs and been observed, at least by this writer, popping up on restaurant menus with extraordinary regularity.
… Which, of course, leads me to my favorite restaurant renditions… Third place belongs to Sovana Bistro in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, for their first-rate combo of roasted sprouts teamed with applewood smoked bacon. Delightfully crunchy. Coming in second is the version served up by New York City's Vino 313. Here you have the sprouts served up in bite-size quarters – once again companioned by smoked bacon – swimming in a superlative and completely addictive whiskey butter sauce. So very rich… and so very delicious.
But the ultimate prize goes to the newly opened Peppercorn in Wayne, Pennsylvania. Chef David Murray flash fries the sprout leaves and then tosses them with diced house-cured pork belly, roasted candied walnuts, and slivers of pecorino cheese. The culinary catalyst, however, is a marvelous splash of tangy mustard cider dressing. Colors, tastes, and textures all work together to consummate this relatively simple but utterly sublime gastronomic gestalt. From one Brussels sprouts lover to another, this dish is not to be missed.There is, however, no reason why you cannot enjoy this vegetable at home. If not overcooked, which usually means boiled into oblivion – they then turn mushy and develop a strong flavor and odor that many find objectionable – Brussels sprouts make an excellent side dish.
My favorite method of preparation – and a surefire way to win over skeptics – is roasting. Here's a simple recipe from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook that always gets raves…Ingredients:
1 ½ pounds fresh Brussels sprouts
3 tablespoons good olive oil
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Cut off the brown ends of the Brussels sprouts, pull off any yellow outer leaves, and cut an "X" into the bottoms of the stems to help them cook more evenly. Mix them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour them into a sheet pan or glass baking dish and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Shake the pan (dish) from time to time to brown the sprouts evenly. Sprinkle with more kosher salt and serve immediately.
For a fancier dish, you also can't miss with Brussels sprouts gratin, which I adapted from Food Network Magazine. The original recipe called for white cheddar cheese, but I felt the Gruyére imparted a much more interesting flavor to the dish. I also substituted Panko Italian breadcrumbs as they added more flavor and texture…Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for the dish
Kosher salt
1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts, outer leaves and stems removed
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Gruyére cheese
½ cup Panko Italian breadcrumbs
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and butter a 2-quart glass baking dish. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook until tender, 8 – 10 minutes (do not overcook).
Drain the sprouts and coarsely chop. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, toss with the red pepper flakes, salt & pepper, and spread out evenly. Pour the cream on top, sprinkle with the cheese and breadcrumbs and dot with the butter pieces.
Bake the gratin until bubbly and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
One final word of advice: Whatever you do, avoid frozen Brussels sprouts like the plague. With this vegetable, fresh and, ideally, locally produced in-season is the only way to go.Bon Appétit!

Seventeen and sure of nothing, Maria has left her parents' small-town grocery for university life in Dublin. An ad in the Student Union – "2 females seek flatmate. No bigots" – leads Maria to a home with warm Ruth and wickedly funny Jael, students who are older and more fascinating that she'd expected.
But one day something Maria glimpses by accident blows her mind open, and she is forced to question everything she thought she knew about sexuality. A poignant, funny, and sharply insightful coming-of-age story, Stir-Fry is a lesbian novel that explores the conundrum of desire arising in the midst of friendship and probes feminist ideas of sisterhood and non-possessiveness.

I enjoyed the story but not as much as the other books by this author. The storyline was good but dragged on a bit at the end, nevertheless a good book.
"A book about discovering who you are"
This is a lovely story about 17 year old Maria who leaves home to go and study in Dublin. The book centres around her discovering who she is, who she really wants to be and finding her sexuality along the way.
I read this book years ago on first going to university and many of Mariah's thoughts and experiences resonated with me. However, revisiting this as an older (although maybe not wiser!) listener has not diminished it at all.
I particularly like books that captivate not necessarily by their exotic storyline but by making the everyday enthralling. This relies on good dialogue. I always think of it as being like the kind of banter I have when out with friends where the deep and insightful ricochets off on farcical random tangents. In other words, how people actually speak.
Emma Donoghue is supremely good at portraying people and makes this simple story far greater than the sum of its parts.
The narrator is perfect and I could happily listen to her reading the phone book. Luckily she has something better to get her teeth into!
"Outside my comfort zone - but not for long!"
Not my usual style of audiobook - sometimes it is time for a change. I found myself drawn into this novel, engaged by the characters, the storyline held my interest and the narration was excellent. Fortunately I had the time, through illness, to listen in long spans, which grew longer as I sought to find out how the story ended.
Rachel, I think. Not the heroine but the star. Rachel was not the central figure but was such a sympathetic creation.
Pacing is first class, clarity of diction and the right accent. I have heard Ms Lennon read a number of stories; in this case, unlike the others, she was on home territory and added to my enjoyment. That said, this was a happy coincidence. Ms Lennon is a most accomplished reader, regardless of where the book is set. She draws out the story in a most engaging way.
Yes - it took just two days as I was unwell. I can think of some audiobooks (no names, no pack-drill) that would have sent me to sleep - I am not a good patient. Stir Fry, and its narration held my interest and involved me in the story telling. It is the involvement that is important.
Highly recommended - I shall look forward to listening to it again. So, I know the ending (no spoilers from me) but that means I can concentrate on the language, the details of the plot and a lovely reading.

Maybe so, as torquier and more fuel-efficient gasoline engines and cheapening hybrid technology are cutting into what had been perceived as the advantages of diesel drivetrains, the Detroit News says.

New Israel Fund president Brian Lurie. (photo credit:Courtesy)
"Which of you is causing me the most trouble? " New Israel Fund president Brian Lurie asked the heads of the many groups that his organization funds at a recent meeting during one of his biannual trips to Israel."Five of them raised their hands at the same time," says Lurie, noting that "the one who is really causing me the most trouble didn't raise a hand."Such is life as president of one of the most powerful funds of liberal Jewish organizations in Israel, including all of the complex realities of trying to restore or improve the sometimes embattled organization's image.Although Lurie, who took the helm of NIF in the summer of 2012, takes issue with the idea that he was brought in to be a friendlier, less controversial and harder-to- attack face of the organization, that is certainly his style when compared to the group's previous leader, highly controversial former deputy Knesset speaker and Meretz MK Naomi Chazan.After allegations were made that NIF funded groups that provided large amounts of evidence for the Goldstone Report, which made allegations against Israeli soldiers for war crimes during the 2008- 2009 Gaza War, extra-parliamentary Zionist group Im Tirtzu portrayed Chazan in an ad with horns on her head and associated her with the report.While Lurie admits that he and Chazan have the same fundamental principles, he says that "we come to the issues from different places. I worked in the Jewish establishment; I'm American. She came from a minority party and is Israeli."He continues, "It's easier for me to talk to the Jewish establishment in the Diaspora and easier for some right-wing politicians to talk to me if we've been friends forever. She carried some political baggage because of her background in the opposition" – fighting head-tohead over issues in the Knesset – "but the hatchet job done on her was grossly unfair."An ordained Reform rabbi, Lurie comes from the US Jewish "establishment," having served as executive vice president of the United Jewish Appeal and for 17 years as executive director of the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco, among other positions, where he frequently rubbed elbows with top Israeli officials across the spectrum.Lurie says that "I knew what I was getting into. I knew it was going to be controversial, the strong feelings people had, I was aware of that." But he also knew that "the New Israel Fund is the best organization to impact in a more complicated world. I can't think of another one with the same tremendous resources at play."Lurie says that his diverse group of old friends, including former Likud foreign minister Moshe Arens, still talk to him and have not broken ties over his new role.DESPITE LURIE'S generally calm and almost philosophical manner, he gets serious and forceful when it comes to discussing the controversy surrounding some of the organizations that NIF funds.Responding to allegations that NIF funds organizations involved in anti-Israel activities, like the divest from Israel movements or forums where Israel is labeled an apartheid state, he says, "We're a big tent. NIF is an organization in the middle of a complicated time.We will support organizations which are not black and white, but gray. If an Arab organization does not believe" in an Israel constituted "as a Jewish state, but does believe" in an Israel that is "a state of all of its people, I understand their feeling; still, NIF believes we need a Jewish state."Naomi Paiss, NIF's vice president of public affairs, who is present throughout the interview, adds that NIF has clear funding guidelines and "won't support organizations working to deny the Jewish people's right to sovereign selfdetermination."But, she says, if "leaders of Arab organizations prefer a multinational, multicultural state," NIF won't cut them off.She said that there are many targeted purposes having to do with change for organizations like Adalah, Massawa and Kayan, but that at the end of the day the organizations are not "designed to change the State of Israel" itself, regardless of their beliefs, she says.Paiss also says that she often attends events where speakers express views she disagrees with and that NIF "can't hold organizations responsible for what other organizations say in a free forum."She notes that outgoing defense minister Ehud Barak once said Israel would become "an apartheid state if there was no peace."Regarding the recent first-time publication of the amounts of funding NIF gives to various liberal organizations in Israel as part of a recent law demanding such reporting, Lurie says that NIF has always been "transparent. We list our donors, most of whom are individuals and foundations."This publication and past publications have been met with critiques of NIF and its refusal to sever or delay in severing its connections with certain organizations it funds by Gerald Steinberg's NGO Monitor, among others.Lurie hits back at the criticism, saying "I'd like to ask Gerald when was the last time his donors were made transparent.I don't know where to find his donor list, if it is listed. Is that balanced?" he asks, hinting that Right-leaning organizations are getting a pass on reporting their funding while Left-leaning organizations are being scrutinized.Paiss says that a right-wing organization called Elad "even went to court to prevent making their donor list public."Lurie and Paiss also asked who had funded an Im Tirtzu campaign against Lurie with ads in 20 Jewish newspapers across the US.ASKED WHAT he thinks of the election results, Lurie gives a somewhat confusing answer, as if he wrestling with his own contrary feelings or uneasiness about certain aspects of the results.Lurie begins with the word "hope," but goes on to describe several results of the election that sounded like the opposite of what would give him hope.He says that the loss of Likud moderates (some of whom he is friendly with, which shows the breadth of his contacts) like "Dan Meridor and Bennie Begin was a real blow to the Likud party, Israel, the Jewish people. It saddens me."Lurie says the fact that these moderates did not finish high enough on the Likud list to make it into the 19th Knesset means Likud will lose "values they instilled in the party, which is still the largest. They will be sorely missed in the next government. They were true democrats with a small 'd' – people whose only ambition was to make the state a better place."In contrast, Lurie says that "the current Likud is like other parties to the Right. I'm not sure if there is anyone to the right of Likud" as it is currently constituted.Where does he disagree the most with Likud and "other parties to the Right"? He says that we "can't just absorb chunks of the West Bank and say that's our destiny. That's such a mistaken concept.We live in a larger world, we're part of it, and these barriers and borders," lead to conflict with those who are "friendly to us, like the US and Europe."Lurie also says that his view of the election results will ultimately depend on "what the government would look like. If Yesh Atid is in it, I would be more hopeful."He says he does not agree with some left-leaning groups that are hoping for an "all-Right government to force Obama to take a very strong position" against some of the right-wing policies, and that he would "rather see a more moderate-centrist government in place."Lurie adds that it's better to have a "smiling, open, positive face than a closed one. A more moderate government would be good for Israel, good for Diaspora Jewry and good for the world."Asked who represents the "smiling, open, positive face," Lurie identifies Yesh Atid's Yair Lapid, though he is still critical of Lapid for comments he made categorically opposing forming a government with a group of "Zoabis," referring to the Israeli-Arab parties.Lurie states that Lapid's "Zoabis" remark was an "unfortunate comment.Someone might not like [Haneen] Zoabi, but the plural of it got me."IRONICALLY AND despite all of the above, Lurie says that NIF has very little to do formally with issues like the peace process."We believe in a two-state solution, but we're worried most about internal issues, not external – that is someone else's job," he says matter-of-factly.He says that many issues mentioned in the election, such as "housing, the middle class, the poor, the safety net and social welfare, working for a more equitable society are cornerstones we've been working on for years," and are the organization's focus far more than foreign policy is.At this point Paiss interjects, noting the example of funding programs that help youth at risk in development towns and marginalized populations, such as an afternoon school in Ashkelon that teaches the fundamentals of Judaism. Both also cite Arab youth, Ethiopian youth, women's empowerment and educating the Beduin community as major NIF goals.Lurie takes a deep breath before wading into the controversy regarding the Beduin.Although helping the Beduin community is a major priority, he says that "NIF has no position" on the state's current proposal, which was largely developed by outgoing minister Bennie Begin and essentially proposes recognizing and allowing 62% of Beduin communities in the Negev stay in place while relocating and compensating the rest.Looking uncomfortable, Lurie says "we are studying it. But I'm going to do something dangerous. I'm going to give my own personal opinion, not yet reflected by the organization... Bennie Begin is a tzadik [righteous person]," he says. "What he is trying to accomplish, what the ministerial committee passed, among Beduin leaders is viewed as having flaws. Some want more money, more land. But equally, on the far Right, many say that Bennie is giving away the store, way too much, how could he have done this?" "Talking with Bennie, and after a cursory review, with the increase in money and land" in Begin's plan over a prior plan that offered to recognize only 50% of Beduin communities, Lurie says "I think it's the best attainable deal possible."He adds that reaching a solution "sooner is better. The longer this drags out, the less likely it can be resolved and there will be real loss. Bennie's been the driving force."Paiss adds that many key NIF grantees "strongly oppose the plan," saying that there is still far too much "forced relocation."Lurie says that the issue is "complex for the organization, with many groups opposing the plan now."We've had "lively discussions," he says, and that he thinks that eventually more Beduin will come out and support the Begin plan.REGARDLESS OF Lurie's remark that NIF is an inward-looking organization, he does not deny that organizations that NIF has funded could have an outward impact – such as those that criticize the IDF and develop either nonflattering or biased (depending on your political leanings) video footage against it.Once again, Lurie differentiates his own opinions from those of the organization."Personally, anytime I see the IDF portrayed in a bad light, it makes me nervous," he says. "I totally appreciate how important it is to keep Israel secure and strong. Israel is living in a rough neighborhood, and without the IDF it would not exist."He says he recognizes that criticism of the IDF makes "everyone feel more vulnerable, including me."That being said, he says that both personally and speaking as NIF president, the organizations the NIF funds "do the right thing. We need a self-correcting mechanism with an occupation going on as long as this has, where inherently there are abuses."We might be the best army in the world on those abuses, as good as one can be – and no one with a 40-year occupation would be as good as we are – but we can improve," he says."The more moral we are, the stronger we are as a nation, for the Jewish people," he states.WHEN LURIE took over as NIF president, he laid out a number of specific goals in public interviews, including moving the center of NIF's Israel operations from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, joining the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations and making the structure of NIF's funding strategy "smarter," among others.How are these goals faring half a year into the job? Moving the center of operations to Tel Aviv is being explored. "There is no question; we need a Tel Aviv presence.But how big and when? It is a necessity and it'll happen before I leave," says Lurie.In contrast, joining the conference is a lower priority for now, "but it does make sense" at some point, he says.Changing its funding strategy and structure in light of a changing world is one of Lurie's primary goals and "at our board meeting this week we worked hard on this," he says.Discussing some less well-known projects of the organization, Paiss says that NIF was very involved in a campaign to change what was set to be an all-haredi 50,000-person city placed in the Harish wadi area between a regular middle-class town of ordinary Jewish people, a kibbutz down the road and an Arab village up the hill.Paiss says the new city would have ruined an area where pluralism is working by artificially throwing in a new ghetto.She says she has no problem with haredim moving into the new development, but that NIF is proud it has succeeded in making the new development open to all.Paiss also discusses Right Now, an organization that advocates asylum for African migrants.She says the group was founded by a graduate of NIF's social justice fellows program and is "exactly the young leadership we want to foster," adding that we "feel very strongly, if there was ever a case of treating a stranger well who has no other place to go, it's here, since most of them are legitimately seeking asylum."Lurie criticizes some Israeli politicians for "public statements against the migrants," which, he says, "hurt Israel."At the same time, he says that he "understood that it's complicated in Israel and that it's a balagan [mess] in the US Congress also," adding that it is "wrong to single out Israel when Europe and the US don't have it right either."This last exchange between Lurie and Paiss may be the most indicative of the still relatively new face of the NIF.While he will not apologize for many of the organization's controversial positions, it is likely disarming for opponents of the NIF to hear its president talking about the importance of the IDF, not singling out Israel and being ready to give personal opinions breaking with the organization's policies.NIF and some of the organizations it funds will likely remain controversial, but for those wanting to paint a blackand- white picture of the organization, Lurie will be harder to fit into the perennial box.

How to Rank: 25 Step SEO Master Blueprint
Blog Post: May 14, 2013-
Fantastic post, thanks very much for all these tips. It's great to have them all in one place, and in somewhat of a chronological order. The tools and programs you mentioned along the way were also very helpful! I agree that most people get the 90/10 rule the other way around, but its probably because link building can see instant rewards. Creating the best content possible is the best long term SEO plan though.

Blog Post: December 03, 2013-
Great post Martin, keyword rankings have been something we have been keeping a very close eye on. Whilst Google's (not provided) update has made things harder to track, I agree that it has done us all a favor in a way, since we have to undertake a lot more in depth research now, leading to a better overall understanding of our situations.
I still suspect they will release this data in time, but for some kind of a fee.

Good times, great friends
I love to go explore and travel internationally. So far this year I have already been to spring training in Arizona, Indian, the Winter Olympics, Napa, and Mt. Batchelor in Oregon. I've been exploring this area a lot too. The things I enjoy doing daily are working out, reading, or writing. I'm a young professional who just moved to the area and really don't know many people. However, I love Orange County and I'm really excited to be here. I really like doing non-profit/charity work. Right now I help out with Engineers Without Borders and the Boys and Girls Club here in Orange County. I went to India this year to help out villages with getting clean water. If you are an affable, easy going person, then I'll probably get along with you really well. I like women that have great communication skills too.

Shelby Farms Park has always seemed, in a way, like Memphis' 4,500-acre backyard.
Venture to the park on any given day, and what's liable to greet you is a cross section of Memphis that presents itself amid the park's rolling hills, pastures, trails and lakes.
The parking controversy at Overton Park is probably the best place to begin to think more about what happens when we get our wish for more density within the parkways.
More people living and working or going to the same area or park, in this case, means change on a lot of different levels.
The president of the Memphis Zoo says solutions to the parking problem at Overton Park won't be easy and likely will involve change for all of the park's institutions.
"Overton Park is a community park. … It's clearly not a neighborhood park," Chuck Brady told The Daily News in his first interview since protests began in late May over the zoo's use of the park greensward for overflow parking. "It's easy to define the problem. But it's difficult to carve out a solution."

A DIFFERENT KIND OF ADDRESS. The sticker on the door of Elwood's Shack – sort of on Summer and sort of in Lowe's parking lot – said "Summer Ave. is my Poplar."
The University of Memphis is in the early stages of updating its campus master plan, and it will seek input from its neighbors as it moves into its next century of higher education.

Overton Park's combination party and fundraiser this past weekend celebrated a milestone birthday for the park.
But in addition to serving as a way for supporters to tip the hat in honor of the park's 111th anniversary and enjoy drinks, hors d'oeuvres, music and dancing in the park's "formal gardens," the "Magical Night at Overton Park" event Saturday, Nov. 10, was something more. Tina Sullivan, executive director of the Overton Park Conservancy, said the event was the group's first major fundraiser.
Downtown Memphis Commission president Paul Morris calls it "Main Street to Main Street Over The Harahan."
The unofficial name for the $30 million project linking Main Street Memphis to Broadway Street in West Memphis via a bicycle and pedestrian boardwalk on the Harahan rail bridge across the Mississippi River draws fewer questions than the title that involves the term "intermodal connector."
Approaching the second anniversary of "New Face for an Old Broad" and the Historic Broad Avenue Business Association's painting of its own bike lanes, the Binghampton district has seen activity increase exponentially on several fronts.

Hayes led the effort to secure a $4.8 million grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies, allowing Wharton to establish an "Innovation Delivery Team" of researchers to reduce handgun violence and accelerate economic development in the inner city.
There are many shades of green.
And the use of the term "green" to describe public policies, business practices and other decisions designed to improve or sustain natural surroundings and our connection with them touches on so many other considerations.
Shelby County Commissioners seeking to stop the referendums on municipal school districts have a heavy legal burden going into Thursday's hearing on the matter in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee.

Ross and executive chef and owner Erling Jensen made a good team and worked together extremely well in that kitchen.
More than 60 business owners along the Midtown leg of Madison Avenue are coalescing around the idea of something other than a dedicated bicycle lane in both directions on the street.
Their idea is that bicycles and motorized traffic should continue sharing the curb lane in both directions with no new lane markings. That would keep two lanes of motorized traffic both ways.

There is a time in your young life when you realize you are a mechanical dunderhead. One such realization came when I was trying to unscrew a strange screw on my bicycle that I had never seen before. It had no slot. It looked like the point of a knife would turn it, so I proceeded to break a few tips off mom's steak knives before my dad appeared.
The 11-story Baptist Memorial Hospital-Desoto may tower over Southaven, but its nurses are grounded in the community they serve.
They stage health fairs, teach children bicycle safety and send gift packages to soldiers. Besides their community outreach efforts, they constantly work to improve the quality of care by keeping current with innovations, continuing their educations and sharing their knowledge with one another.
