UN demands release of abducted Filipino peacekeepers
More News from Agence France-Presse
UNITED NATIONS—The UN Security Council on Wednesday demanded that Syrian rebel fighters release more than 20 UN peacekeepers abducted in the Golan Heights ceasefire zone.
UN peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous said that negotiations were being held with the abductors. According to diplomats, the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) peacekeepers are from the Philippines.
The Security Council "strongly condemned the detention of a group of more than 20 peacekeepers," said a statement read by the 15-nation body read to reporters by Russian ambassador Vitaly Churkin.
The statement added that the abduction was carried out "by armed elements of the Syrian opposition."
"The members of the Security Council demanded the unconditional and immediate release of all the detained UN peacekeepers and called upon all parties to cooperate with UNDOF in good faith to enable it to operate freely and to ensure full security of its personnel," added the statement.
The United Nations has set up a crisis cell to handle the emergency, diplomats said.
"Negotiations are going on and the matter is mobilizing all our teams," UN peacekeeping chief Ladsous said after briefing the Security Council on the abduction. "It is a very serious incident."
Also Filipino
Syrian opposition fighters are also believed to be holding an UNDOF staffer who was announced missing on February 25. The staffer is also believed to be a Filipino.
Churkin said that the rebels have made demands but did not give details.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights distributed two statements by the rebel Yarmuk Martyrs Brigade claiming to hold the peacekeepers.
In one, a man identified as Abu Kaid al-Faleh, a spokesman for the brigade, said the peacekeepers would not be freed until Syrian regime forces pull out from the area.
"We call on them to withdraw all their troops to their bases. If they do not withdraw, these men (UN troops) will be treated as prisoners," he said.
In a second video, the same rebel accused the UNDOF of working with the Syrian army to try to suppress the insurgency and help regime forces enter the area.
"The Syrian regime, the UN and the European countries are all collaborators with Israel," he said.
"They all want the Free Syrian Army to leave this land. They want us to leave our land and they want the oppressor Bashar al-Assad to enter because they are collaborators with the Zionists, Israel and America," the spokesman said.

Hi L Gebhardt
Metering was outside the scope of what I was trying to get across in the article.
Proper metering is very important and as you have pointed out spot metering is an excellent tool to help match the scene to the film.

If you can, try a spot meter like a Pentax with the little mechanical calculator. It may give you insight into the placing of scene brightnesses onto the film. In theory the Matrix metering in the newer Nikons does this for you, but if I have time I like to meter by hand with the spot meter.

Borderlands 2
I have a friend who is a games journalist; a few days/weeks back he was invited to a private gaming session where he and others got to play the game for 4 hours. When he played he chose a class called Gunzerker. Basically this class allows the player to dual weild any two weapons! Even Rocket launchers. Now lets say the level cap is 90 and i'm strolling around with two level 90 rocket launchers one incendiary and the other corrosive would i be to overpowered? I know the Borderlands franchise is weird and wacky but is this too far? I have to say thought it would be pretty cool to stroll around with one Corrosive SMG to kill the shield and an incendiary SMG to kill the enemy but once again. Overpowered? Please share your thoughts!
Well for one thing, the dual wielding is the gunzerkers class skill, so it's not like you can permanently run around with two launchers all the time (however im sure there will be COM's and talents to reduce cooldown times). Secondly, it's quite possible they'll add a damage reduction on the second hand weapon but at this point anything is speculation,
Steam ID: majestikmoose06
Gunzerker can't aim while dual wielding and his skills are devoted are heavily centered around automatic weapons. Outside almost point blank range, dual wielding is likely going to do less damage than using one weapon.
From the sounds of it, you can either permanently dual wield or reduce the cooldown to less than the duration. However, this requires a massive skill investment and to be continuously killing enemies in combat. Skills put into dual wield are points not being put into more directly useful skills, as well.
Rocket launchers were also abysmal weapons in the first game.
Thanks your comment is probably true, because they wouldn't overpower the character that much but then again foes level up as you do so it wouldn't really be overpowering. Unless there is some kind of online multiplayer you would get high levels just pwning!
well, they did say that they were breaking a lot of rules whit the gunzerker. like dual wielding when you go down. i don't think that they're gonna nerf salvador. it's more likely that they'll adjust the enemies and such. who knows, maybe such an overpowered skilled was needed with all the kind of madness that we'll go through?
What nerf? Just because you have two weapons does not make you twice as powerful. You lose the aim function, which is basically required for many weapons to land most of its shots. In addition, the skill investment to keep it running is massive.
Right now, there are five skills devoted solely to letting you use dual wield. This is not counting the recoil and accuracy skills you almost assuredly need to hit something reliably at even midrange. None of these skills provide any other benefit. I'm really not going to be shocked if it turns out ignoring Dual Wield can result in a higher damage character and Dual Wield basically is only useful for tanky Salvadors.

Remember when high-end memory kits would set you back several hundred dollars? Those days are long gone, and for various reasons (all of which are great for consumers but stink for manufactures trying to flip a profit), they might never return. One of the reasons is that overclocking no longer carries such a heavy reliance on RAM. Memory is still important, but not like it was in the Pentium IV and AMD 64 era. But the biggest reason manufacturers are stuck in a low price rut is because they're caught in a "vicious circle of oversupply," GBI Research says.
According to GBI Research, there are several factors at play. There's the global economic uncertainty of the past few years, along with more efficient applications that require less memory, both of which have led to an overabundance of DRAM and resulting price drops.
"Prices have fallen so much in fact that manufacturers have been forced to sell these memory devices at below production cost, preventing profit generation," GBI Research says. "In response, manufacturers have been producing DRAM at 100 percent factory capacity in an attempt to claw back expenses, which has only exacerbated the market oversupply problem."
The growing market for portable devices will offer DRAM makers some relief, but it won't be a saving grace. If they're to dig themselves out of the hole they're currently in, DRAM players will have to control supply and demand, GBI Research says.

The active ingredient responsible for Biotin-
Biotin is a safe water soluble vitamin, there are no known adverse side effects. Excess vitamin is excreted in the urine and does not accumulate in the body. It is safe for continued long term use if required.
Other ingredients are: vegetable gelatin(capsule), dicalcium phosphate and Maltodextrin (carriers for biotin), magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide (to aid powder flow and lubrication)
Biotin is a vitamin (usually called Vitamin H or Vitamin B8) that your dog cannot manufacture for itself. Therefore your dog must obtain the minute quantities required from the diet or possibly from the micro-
Usually we feed additional vitamins in order to counteract a deficit, but in the case of Biotin, there is virtually always sufficient within the dog's system for everyday needs.
However scientific research has confirmed that when Biotin is present in many times it's normal concentration, something very unusual happens; -
In a collaborative study with small-
In total 119 cases could be treated which were reported to show symptoms such as dull coat, brittle hair, loss of hair, scaly skin, pruritus or dermatitis. Cases requiring other treatments with e.g. glucocorticoids, were excluded from the study.
In 60% of the cases all symptoms were reported to be cured after the biotin treatment and in a further 31% an improvement was noted; in only 9% no effect was recorded.
All breeds responded but to a variable extent: e.g. in Poodles the response was lower (no response in 6 out of 11 cases) than in Alsatians where all improved and 14 out of 29 were completely cured.
The results confirm the favourable effect of biotin for treatment of fur and skin conditions in dogs

When hair loss occurs in dogs, it can be a time of concern and apprehension for you, the owner. The reasons for hair loss can be difficult to identify, creating even more worry for you. Additional symptoms such as soreness and inflammation can also be painful and distressing for your dog. If you are concerned about irregular amounts of hair loss or notice unusual patterns of loss, it is important that a diagnosis be made as soon as possible.

Neighborhood: Central/ Psar Thmei
Cuisine: French
Intimate lighting and a lush tropical garden courtyard make Le Bistrot a delightful place to sample some moderately priced French cooking. The menu offers a tantalizing selection of entrees, salads, meat and pasta dishes. The grilled beef fillet is an outstanding choice for meat lovers who may have missed this sort of cooking while in Asia. The salad of fresh greens and pan-fried goat's cheese with vinaigrette dressing is a very tasty lighter meal for a warm Phnom Penh evening. Imported French house wines are excellent value.

I have been living with the Google Nexus 5 for a week and just a couple days ago I thought I was going to return the device . After further evaluation and looking at available smartphones, it is clear to me the Nexus 5 is an outstanding value and there is no way I returning it.
The Nexus 5 hardware isn't particularly stunning or unique. I was surprised at how light it was and it gives you the feel that the battery is missing or something. As you carry around in your pocket though, the light weight actually ends up being a nice bonus.
The ceramic volume button (left side) and power button (right side) have sharp edges and the skin of my tender office hands tends to catch on the edges.
There is a single mono speaker on the bottom with the microphone on the other side and an upside-down microUSB port (same as my HTC One) in between. The 3.5mm headphone jack is on the top, just left of center.
There is a funky disc, reminds me of a small vinyl record actually, around the camera lens that sticks out a bit and may actually provide a bit of protection for the camera. A small flash is located below the camera, all on the upper left side of the back.
I like the large Nexus logo on the back of the device, reminiscent of what I see on my 2013 Nexus 7 tablet.
It's a rather squared off device, but the edges are curved nicely. The solid glass front panel is attractive and the bezel on the sides is pretty minimal.
It is nice to have a multi-color notification LED hidden down below the display and now I just need to find apps to set different colors for different notifications.
There have been some complaints about the display being washed out or having other issues, but I honestly haven't seen any of that. I think the display is gorgeous and absolutely love the crispness of the fonts and brightness of the display.
The Nexus 5 flies and handles everything I have thrown at it perfectly. The camera seems slow to focus, but with good lighting it seems to take decent photos outside (couple posted in this article.
Qi wireless charging is something you need to experience to appreciate and now that a couple of my devices have it, I expect all of them to support this charging technology. It is so dang convenient to just drop my device down on a Qi charging pad, especially when the Nexus 5 uses a reversed microUSB like the HTC One.
The pedometer function is great to see in the hardware and now I want Runkeeper to make a life tracking application that lets me use my Nexus 5 to track my daily activity as well as my dedicated periods of running. I am using the free Moves app at this time to track my steps.
As great as the hardware is on the Nexus 5, the real focal point and reason for its existence is really the latest and greatest Android operating system. Android KitKat 4.4 is great on the Nexus 5, for the most part.
As I wrote in my first impressions article , I like the overall look of the design, the new OK Google voice control functionality, the Quickoffice integration, the integrated pedometer functionality, and the pure application launch area.The ability to easily add widgets, folders, and shortcuts with an unlimited number of home screen panels is great for the person who likes to fully customize their Nexus experience.
Immersive mode is great for reading in Google Books, but I want to see it come to more apps too.
The Hangouts unified SMS and Google Talk/Hangouts messages app is a failure at this time. With the same contact, you have multiple discussion threads, depending on the service you are using. This defeats the intent of unification and creates a very clumsy messaging experience. I installed Textra for SMS/MMS and have it setup as the default messaging app in my settings.
Google worked on improving the phone dialer and People app, but it still needs LOTS of work to make me happy. Very few of my contacts now have caller ID images because those people do not have a Gmail account. I used to see changing contact photos through Facebook service integration seen on my other Android smartphones. I'm not sure if Google will update this support, but I don't like how my contact currently appear. Google did integrate smart dialing into the phone app so that is useful and appreciated.
I don't have an HP printer and haven't yet gotten printing to work on my Canon home network printer.
There are reported touchscreen improvements and I find it works just fine.
The camera software frustrates me a bit. It is pretty much what you find on the Nexus 4 and on Google Play Edition devices, but I don't like how you have to tap through all the way to the end to select a setting and then go back through the taps to setup yet another setting. I often accidentally choose a setting and have to go back and make mods.
The camera software is also very basic and doesn't give you any of the advanced functions seen on LG, Samsung, and HTC devices. These include filters, dual camera ability, and more.

help!! Blanket = dandruff
All summer, the mare I rode had a lovely, soft coat that she would get muddy, but it would easily brush clean.

Any suggestions? I'm curious about head and shoulders... after all, it works for me!

Drawing the Figure
I haven't had any classes on drawing yet, but I'm trying to learn by myself by drawing from some of the refrence threads around here on CA.
I have done about 10 or 11 drawings so far, but I'm just drawing them from the screen. I don't really think about it or try to get something from it. My mind is blank, I look at the screen, and I look at my paper.
My question is this: What should I be thinking about? Should I even? What details should I pay attention to? What should I expect from a figure drawing class if I take one?

Nikon D4 Card Compartment Door Flexes A Little

I too have a little bit of flex on the card door, however over time you learn to ignore it. I don't think it flexes enough to break the seal.

For a couple of days -------
Hello All
Well -- for a couple of days we were with out a home, but now we are back home again. The only thing is we don''t know where home is. Maybe they will tell us, not that it matters I guess, as long as it works. It looks like this thing might be like the EverReady Bunny and just keep GOING and GOING---------------------.
So we might as well stick with it, and keep going with it.
Walt Ward
For a couple of days -------
I usually check into three or four regular forums every day (that is when I''m not on the boat). It was a strange coincidence when I found that message on the SailNet blue screen along with another forum being down at the same time.
Being adrift in a cyber sea - without an anchor, was a bit disconcerting. Hopefully, SailNet will stay afloat after this receivorship transition.
For a couple of days -------
I was not able to log in for the last week. This morning was the first time I was able to get through. I had to use the cached pages in a search engine though.
Did anyone make it down to Annapolis (in the pouring rain) for the show?
Would like to hear what others found that was interesting there. I enjoyed spending time on the Valiant 42 talking with Bob Perry. Also chatting with Tim Jackett was very informative. I was very impressed with the C&C 115, it hit almost every hot button I have when it comes to design and construction, from it''s light weight, easily driven hull, to it''s fractional rig. Tim even said he would change out the below deck hand holds to a more traditional hoop design for me. They will custom build out a boat in just about any configuration for very modest design fees. Impressive! (Just struggling with the $206,000 for a boat built out to my specs)

LeBron Watch, 2 p.m.: Heat look to add Miller to new 'Big Three'
|07.08.10 at 2:19 pm ET
As news circulates that LeBron James is heading to South Beach to join friends Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh as a member of the Heat, Miami is looking to make more moves to fill out its roster.
FoxSports.com writer Jeff Goodman is reporting that free agent Mike Miller has been offered a five-year deal worth somewhere between $27 million and $30 million, with a deadline of Thursday night for him to accept the offer.
Meanwhile, the Knicks and Cavaliers are holding out hope that LeBron will have a change of heart. WEEI.com's Kirk Minihane reports that one source claims the Knicks still are confident he will choose the Big Apple.
The Cavaliers are doing their best to make their team more appealing, with rumors circulating that they are pursuing a trade with the Timberwolves involving point guard Jonny Flynn.

Carol Kivler knows she is not alone.
First diagnosed with a mental illness in 1990, Kivler, 59, suffers from periodic acute bouts of medication-resistant depression that responds only to electric shock treatment.
Since her diagnosis, she has had long periods of recovery and also four acute episodes of depression, each time requiring hospitalization and electric shock treatment.
She has been in recovery for eight years and is the president of New Jersey-based Kivler Communications, a company that provides corporate training development and coaching. And she wrote a book, "Will I Ever Be The Same Again? Transforming the Face of ECT (shock therapy)."
Q. Is depression – the acute stage that plunges you into a need for shock treatment – prevalent?
A. One out of five people have it, but men are reluctant to seek help. It's embarrassing and humiliating. You believe you are going to be judged. The general population views it as a character flaw or a bid for attention.
I hid my diagnosis for 10 years. I was afraid if the college where I worked found out I had been in a psychiatric hospital getting shock treatments, I would lose my job. I also was afraid neighbors wouldn't let children come to my home and play with my children.
Q. What got you out of this box?
A. I went to the National Alliance on Mental Illness conference and found out there are other people like me, people who understand depression and don't judge. I became a professional speaker because I thought I had a God-given ability to influence and persuade.
I thought I could really make a difference. I've even opened a company, Courageous Recovery. I speak in nursing schools, medical schools, hospitals. My children are grown up and have told me it's OK to tell my story if I help one family going through what we went through.
Q. You say being depressed made you more depressed?
A. If I had a heart problem, I would need to take medications and I would take them for the rest of my life. But I kept wanting to go off the depression medications. The public has a skewed vision of clinical depression and electric shock treatment. It is a difficult illness to accept.
Q. How do you live your daily life?
A. With this illness, I have to exercise. It brings in endorphins. Also I need to watch my diet. With psychotropic drugs, weight gain is easy. I gained 30 pounds with my last medicine change. I have learned to make better food choices.
I also have to really watch my sleep. It is deadly if I am deprived. I stay on East Coast time no matter where I am. I journal. I get things out of my head.

Pateros placed under state of calamity
More News from Niña Calleja
MANILA, Philippines–The municipality of Pateros was placed under a state of calamity after all of its 10 barangays (villages) have been submerged in floods.
Pateros Mayor Joey Medina said the municipal council on Tuesday afternoon issued the resolution declaring a state of calamity and allowing the release of a portion of its calamity fund.
As of Tuesday, the floods forced some 3,000 people to leave their homes and take shelter at 13 evacuation centers in the only municipality in Metro Manila as floods in some low-lying areas reached chest-high.
Two major roads–C. Almeda and Martires Streets–were also impassable to vehicles.
Medina said the Pateros River was swollen and would overflow if the heavy rains persisted.

Felluca Rides, Luxor
28 Reviews
28 Reviews
Price was 60LE for 1hr at sunset after some bargaining. Captain's name was this young guy called Mohammed and boat name was Shangri-La - out look for the Bob Marley picture on the the main sail - his boat docks opposite Luxor temple. Highly recommended.
Aim to start the cruise around 4.30pm latest to enjoy a perfect sunset. I was lucky enough to witness flocks of kingfishers flying around in formations.
Put this on your must do list as the experience is much more authentic in Luxor opposed to polluted and crowded Cairo waterways.
Another 'must do' thing in Luxor - take a trip on a Felluca. You can go for an hour or a day; expect to negotiate and agree the price before you step on board. There's Elephant Island but expect to end up at a sad little tourist shop if you go for this option. We chose not to and by all accounts we didn't miss anything. The boat is good for birdwatching.
If you visit Luxor you will be asked on numerous occasions to take a felucca trip. Feluccas are single sail traditional Nile boats. They are not expensive (I paid 150 Egyptian pounds or about 15 Euros) for a trip that took four of us out on the Nile for a couple of hours. It was one of the most pleasant things I've ever done and I'd do it again.
Our skipper was a really nice guy called Harris who was very informative about sailing and the river.
Example, he told me that they always head south towards Aswan first because if the wind dies they can use the current of the river to get back.
Also he told me before you get in a felucca you should ask to see their license. It has to be renewed every 3 years and they have to take a test to prove they are capable.
Like many tourists I chose to skip experiencing the Nile while in Cairo and instead opted to wait until I visited Luxor....turned out to be a good choice. The Nile River in Luxor is both peaceful and beautiful and you can't beat the backdrop of both the Valley of the Kings and Luxor Temple during your boat ride. The best time to take a boat ride is an hour before sunset, most tourists opt for Banana Island which is the best spot to see a sunset and have dinner at the same time. Be sure to negotiate a fair price as the boat operators will milk you for every pound. Prices vary and are alot cheaper when you have a group as opposed to going as an individual.
All along the Corniche area where the Nile boats moor, you will be hassled constantly by the felucca touts - so it's always a good idea to walk on the other side of the street to remain hassle free!
You will have to haggle with these guys to get a good price for your ride - we paid around 35LE each (there were around 10 of us) for a 3 hour ride in Aswan through our tour leader - which I imagine was way over the actual price!!
There is a fabulous felucca boat in Luxor owned by an English woman.
Her rates are very reasonable and the service you receive is great.
She can arrange holistic therapies on board while you are sailing if you are interested.
Her felucca captain is a lovely man and knows the Nile like the back of his hand.
I would recommend this lady as you know you are getting a good price and terrific service.
There are various ways to experience the magnificent river Nile.
You could opt for a cruise from Aswan to Luxor (various options available)
There are ferries(motor boats) which transport 20-30 passengers and there are feluccas, small sail boats. If you would like to experience the Nile at your own pace, in tranquility, or go for a romantic ride at sunset, you must try the felucca. You may choose to visit the Banana Island, Crocodile Island on the other bank, or simply ride in the waters for an hour or two, its really worth it. Our boatman and guide suggested a full day tour which we declined due to lack of time however i would really like to go for it next time.
Cost: 40-60 EL for 1-2 hours
After exhausting sightseeing, the boat ride can be a very pleasant and relaxing experience. Enjoy as the sights of Luxor as they pass by. The breeze will chill you of and give you the strength to go on in exploring the rest.
Many felucca rides will take you to Banana Island, which is fine if you've never seen a banana before and enjoy discussing at length what they're worth. A better bet for nature lovers is to ask for a slow glide round Bird Island. This is a low uninhabited island of papyrus more or less opposite the Sheraton, chock full of birdlife. We're not 'birders' but spotted from close up many kingfishers, ibises, herons, swifts, hoopoes et al.
I have been going several times on the GOLD FINGER fellucca with captain Volaa. He is a shy and wonderful guy, he loosens up a little bit after a while, if you like company he will talk in a funny but polite way with you, and if not he will leave you alone - that is what makes him different!
If you are after really special treasure souvenires, go to banana Island. Zoo, ice Cream or lunch can be done at movenpick island. For a bottle of Stella Beer is Ali Baba Island the place to go.
But the real attraction is anyway the Nile and the view of the west bank, specially at sunset time. Captain will make you a glass of tea. Enjoy!
There is a good chance someone will try to talk you into a felucca ride during your stay in Luxor. This is a very good place to take one, especially around sunset. We took a boat to a traditional village along the Nile, ate some bananas, and then had a peaceful cruise under the setting sun. Even if it is considered to be too "touristy", it will make a very nice memory.
I took felucca for an hour in Luxor at see the sunset for 30 EGP. The boatman will make tea for you on the felucca to enjoy the sunset. Of course it comes with a fee or high expectation of tip in return. See more pics for sunset.
We had a three hours 'sail' to Banana Island. I write 'sail', because there was too little wind and we were twice pulled by a motorboat and on the way back we drifted on the current and had to row. In this way it can easily been done in two hours. But, we're on holiday and needed the time to relax. And it was somewhat cooler on the water.
After the first pull, we rested on the shore and made some tea. 'The wind will come', the captain said. Then we tried to get another hike and after some time we managed to attract the attention of a motor boat. We were dropped at the Banana island - 20 pounds again - which is a lovely place. Full of fruit trees. We watched the sun setting on the southern most tip. Then we had some of the best banana's ever. Banana's with much flavour, a good bite and smell.
Then it became dark fast and we slowly drifted back to Luxor, now and then some wind, but not enough and the crew had to row. There were a number of very noisy boats on the Nile. Paid 45 euro's, it was worth it, but it was our first full day in Aegypt, so I had still somethings to learn.
It is a must to walk along the Nile. There are so many boats to see. There are the huge cruise shops with paddle wheels. You can only envy those who can afford the time and money to see Egypt this way. Friends who have 'done' the trip enjoyed it- having a guide, the dressing up and fun and games, the belly dancers etc.
But none of this is necessary to enjoy the Nile. Small boats and feluccas are within most people's pockets, and more enjoyable.
And if not, just walking along and enjoying the view of the pink hills of the west bank is a pleasure in itself.
An interesting book with nice illustrations is "Letters from Egypt" by Florence Nightingale. Yes, the same Florence Nightingale who made nursing a respectable profession. This is one book I do not regret having bought here in Egypt.
There is so much to see and so much to do in Luxor you soon get weary, so take time out and go for a sail. You can hire a felluca for an hour or two and just lie back and admire the scenery from your boat while the countryside rolls by. It can cost as little as 30 - 40 Le's for an hours sail or if you are in a romantic sort of mood, take your trip to coincide with the sunset. Luxor's sunsets can be really spectacular.

Townsend Community School officials suspended an employee this past month for downloading confidential digital documents to his personal computer as a result of an employment dispute.
Stephen Nellett, an intervention specialist, apprehended the private information after school officials told him they weren't offering him a new contract for the upcoming school year.
The Register obtained emails and other documents Thursday confirming the matter through a public records request.
The documents Nellett apprehended include "answer keys to student examinations, 'study guides' prepared for such examinations, and other school documents," according to an affidavit he signed May 21.
He also embedded his personal email address into an online storage program the school uses, which would allow him to access other confidential school information, it said.
Nellett has been placed on paid leave, which concludes June 30, the last day of his contract, said Pete Bartkowiak, the school's director.
"We all agreed this was the best way to handle it," Bartkowiak said.
Any documents Nellett seized have since been deleted or destroyed, and they have not been distributed to anyone, according to the affidavit the Register obtained.
Nellett has been employed with Townsend Community School since it opened in 2011.
The school decided not to renew its contract after Nellett apparently performed poorly on his most recent evaluation, according to a May 4 letter, obtained by the Register.
In the letter, Nellett alleged Townsend Community School didn't follow proper state protocol to conduct the evaluation. He specifically highlighted the length of observation and the evaluation form school officials used.
The school's attorneys, however, said community schools are not required to follow state mandates for teacher evaluations, which exclusively apply to traditional public school districts.
The Register has submitted a public records request to Townsend Community School treasurer John Coffman requesting Nellett's pay rate, as well as a copy of his most recent employee evaluation.
A copy of the documents obtained through the Register's records request is available on sanduskyregister.com.

Veterans Administration Procurement:
Protests Concerning Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Preferences Sustained
GAO-12-278T: Published: Nov 30, 2011. Publicly Released: Nov 30, 2011.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Under the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984, GAO is required to consider protests filed by interested parties concerning the terms of solicitations or contract awards. In deciding protests, GAO makes a determination of whether the agency's actions complied with procurement statutes and regulations. Aldevera, an SDVOSB concern, argued that two solicitations issued by the Veterans Administration should have been set aside for SDVOSB concerns.
The Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006, 38 U.S.C. 8127-8128 (2006) (the 2006 Act) provides in relevant part that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) must set aside procurements for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) concerns if the contracting officer has a reasonable expectation of receiving offers from two or more SDVOSB concerns and that award can be made at a fair and reasonable price that provides the best value to the government. Aldevra, an SDVOSB concern, challenged the terms of two solicitations issued by the VA for kitchen equipment. In both protests, Aldevra argued that the VA should have restricted the competitions to SDVOSB concerns, instead of issuing the solicitations for competition under the General Services Administration's (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule (FSS). In its response to the protest, VA argued that the SDVOSB set-aside requirements of the 2006 Act did not apply to the FSS. In a decision issued by our Office, GAO concluded that the 2006 Act applies to the FSS. Accordingly, GAO sustained the protests. The decision is available at: http://www.gao.gov/decisions/bidpro/405271.pdf. GAO recommended, for the solicitation where the record showed that two or more SDVOSBs were capable of meeting the agency's requirements at a fair and reasonable price, that the VA cancel the solicitation and obtain its requirements using an SDVOSB set-aside. GAO also recommended, for the solicitation where the record did not indicate whether there were two or more SDVOSBs capable of meeting the agency's requirements at a fair and reasonable price, that the VA conduct reasonable market research regarding its requirements. If the VA determines that there is a reasonable expectation of receiving offers from two or more SDVOSB concerns capable of performing the requirements at a fair and reasonable price, we recommended that the VA cancel the solicitation and re-solicit its requirements using an SDVOSB set-aside.

Quant Finance, Trading Strategies, Algorithms, C#, Python, MATLAB
United States - Last active: 28 days ago - Tests: 2
If you want to create a trading system, run a statistical analysis, develop a pricing model, build a financial GUI, or find a pattern in a sea of data, I may be the guy to help. I work primarily in MATLAB, C#, and Python. On the finance side, I'm a CAIA Charterholder, with an Economics degree and experience at McKinsey & Company. On the technical side, I hold degrees (with honors) in Engineering, and worked at a number of California tech companies through the 1990's and early 2000's. Since 2008 I've focused my work in the field of computational finance. Recent clients have included: a Swiss proprietary trading desk (Energy Futures), a Canadian hedge fund (Currencies), a US asset management firm (Equities & Bonds), a US portfolio consulting firm, a US aircraft manufacturing operation, and several others. For those clients I have developed, backtested, and deployed alpha-seeking trading strategies, automated execution algorithms, portfolio optimization models, user-friendly GUI tools. Techniques have included machine learning algorithms, classifiers, feature detectors, digital filters, matrix-based models, and concepts borrowed from detection theory and signal processing, along with various technical analysis indicators. I've worked with many financial platforms and data feeds: Deltix QuantOffice (C#), CQG API, Bloomberg, Interactive Brokers API, MultiCharts (PowerLanguage), MultiCharts.NET (C#), TradeStation (EasyLanguage), FIX (HotspotFx), ITCH (HotspotFx), etc. I can integrate other systems with MATLAB or Excel where there's an advantage. I've created C/C++ .mex files, VBA macros, Java/MATLAB integration, MATLAB/Excel integration. I've been programming in MATLAB since 1990, and can sometimes get it to do things that others can't. I can also translate or port a MATLAB application to other languages, especially Python or C#. I'm located in Southern California. For clients located within 2 hours, I can drive to meet you (sometimes same day, schedule permitting). I'm also happy to work remotely. I'm a US Citizen and have held a security clearance, though it is no longer active. The foundation of every successful project is good communication. If you have a project that needs to be done well, then let's communicate!
Expert software designer and programmer (Python, Perl, Unix)
Argentina - Last active: 1 day ago - Tests: 8 - Portfolio: 5
I am a software designer and programmer and Unix admin. I've been programming for 20 years. More than 10 years of working remotely and I think I'm a very good team player. What motivates me most is to learn something new. My main strengths are my academic background (I studied computer science at the UBA university in Argentina) and that I'm a proactive, independent worker. Whenever I can, I find the answers by myself. Currently I'm interested in non UI, back end jobs. I developed websites (not web design) but that's not what I'm looking for right now. Very good knowledge of: Languages: Python, Perl, C, Unix tools. VCS: Git, svn. DB: Postgresql, Mysql. Non rel DBs: Redis. Web frameworks: Django, Catalyst. Bug tracking systems: Jira, Mantis, Bugzilla. I always worked on Unix and all its flavors, so I got a lot of experience on its usage, networking, administration, operating system internals, etc. Different jobs and curiosity by itself made me learn lots of different languages, APIs, frameworks, like Ruby, PHP, Javascript (esp. JQuery), Twitter and FB APIs, Amazon S3, etc.

Some of the tools of my trade: Python, Ruby, Javascript, Jenkins, Rails, Sinatra, Flask, bash, Java, Jenkins, Watir, Selenium and more. I'm more than willing to learn on the job too. Furthermore, if I build a tool for you, I will document it and work with you so that you can maintain it going forward, if that is your goal. I offer technical consulting as well, consider me a sounding board for any decisions related to development, testing, deployment and design.

SEITZ, James Joseph ("Jim")
Beloved husband and father, Jim Seitz passed on Thursday, November 8th, at Arcadia Methodist Hospital, following a long fight with various ailments, including kidney failure.
Jim was born in Sidney, Montana on August 16, 1938 to Nell and Bill Seitz. He graduated from Sidney High School, and boarded a train for East Lansing, Michigan, where he spent the next four years earning his baccalaureate degree in hotel and restaurant management at
Michigan State University
. A two-year stint in the Navy brought him to Pasadena, where he took a job at the Huntington (Sheraton) Hotel. After serving in multiple roles at the Huntington, he settled into a position as a food buyer with Sheraton's corporate office, where he remained for over 30 years. After retiring from Sheraton, he served as a consultant for the Hilton Corporation for five years.
It was at the Huntington Sheraton Hotel that he met his beautiful wife Ann (Hoover), with whom he had three children. Jim and Ann bought a home in Temple City, where their children attended school, and where Ann still lives today. Jim served as a baseball coach for his two sons, as President of Temple City National Little League, and then spent over 25 years as an assistant district administrator for Little League Baseball's District 18. He was an avid golfer, and loved spending time with his family watching the Angels, the Kings, and his beloved Michigan State Spartans.
He is preceded in death by his parents Bill and Nell, and his brother Bill Jr. He is survived by his wife Ann, his daughter Elizabeth Gibson and her husband Shannon of Toledo, OH; his son Joe and his wife Hilary of Anchorage, AK, and their daughters Taylor and Abbigale; and his son Bill of Chicago, IL. He is also survived by his sister-in-law Margaret Seitz; his brother-in-law George Hoover; his sister-in-law Chris Hoover; his nieces Dannette Stevens, Deanne Rauschendorfer , Donna Wilson, and, Carolee and Laurel Hoover ; and his nephews David and John Seitz.
A memorial service will be held at Church of Savior Episcopal Church in San Gabriel, CA on Saturday, November 17, and 5:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Jim's memory to the Union Station Foundation (
), or Immanuel Episcopal Church at 4366 Santa Anita Ave, El Monte, CA 91731.

Comments about Set of 2 Bell + Howell Ultrasonic Pest Repellers:
Having just discovered field mice at my bird feeder, I have been taking steps to humanely get rid of these pests. Reading the reviews for this product by others who had a rodent problem was encouraging, so I just purchased a 4-pack, using one on my protected outdoor patio and one in my hall entrance facing the front door. Tested all four, all of which had the blinking red light at intervals, and all had a VERY soft clicking noise you cannot hear unless you bend down close to the near-floor outlet. It has only been a few days of use, but I have not seen or heard anymore mice in my patio/yard area and I'm so pleased. Read the instructions carefully, for best success don't get the unit wet or dirty, don't use if you have rodent type pets like hamsters or gerbils, and try to limit food laying around (for this, I've discovered lacing bird seed with hot red pepper powder i.e. cayenne is a great deterrent for both mice & squirrels but not harmful to birds)

MANILA (AFP) - Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pledged increased maritime cooperation with the Philippines on Saturday amid growing territorial disputes with regional rival China.
"For Japan, the Philippines is a strategic partner with whom we share fundamental values and many strategic interests," Mr Abe told a joint news conference with Philippine president Benigno Aquino after their meeting in Manila.
"In order to further reinforce this relationship...we confirm continued assistance to the capacity-building of the Philippine coastguard."
Mr Abe's overnight visit came as tensions have steadily risen between China and Japan, which accuses its neighbour of sending an increasing number of ships to exert its claim over unpopulated Japanese-controlled islands in the East China Sea.
