Welcome to Girraween High School's Website
Girraween High School is a modern, coeducational high school with an enrolment of 760 students.
Our school is an academically selective high school. Year Seven entry is administered by the High Performing Students Unit of the Department of Education and Communities. Selection to fill vacancies in Years 8 to 11 is determined by the school.
Students are selected to enter this school on the basis of their academic performance. Some advantages of this environment are:
Academically talented students will benefit from being part of a group of students keen to achieve academic excellence. This leads to the development of sound work and study habits and high aspirations.
Stimulating and challenging programs of study have been devised to cover a wide scope within each subject. Furthermore the nature of the student group allows for greater depth of treatment in many aspects of the courses. In addition, certain courses can be offered which may not attract sufficient interest in other schools. In Years 11 & 12 a large number of classes are formed in subjects at the highest level of study.
It is the expectation of our staff that students will do well. Our students are aiming for entry to university. Our record in preparing students for further study is reflected by 100% of students gaining university entry.
Every teacher is committed to ensuring that all students are provided with opportunities to achieve and exceed their potential. Many are also involved with HSC marking which provides additional expertise in the classroom.
The school has an enrolment of 760 students. This allows the school to cater for the needs of the individual in a caring atmosphere. In Years 7-10 the enrolment is limited to 120 students per year. In Year 11 an extra class of 20 students is added. Students are selected on an academically competitive basis. See the Enrolment tab for more information.
We attract students from many different suburbs. Our school is approximately a 15 minute walk from Pendle Hill Station. School buses run from Pendle Hill Station as well as from Kings Langely, Baulkham Hills, Castle Hill, Crestwood, Glenwood and Wentworthville.
To see a map go to Google Map.
Our well developed Student Wellbeing program is designed to meet the academic, emotional and social needs of gifted and talented students. The range of programs are all based on the principles of positive psychology and the Positive Education model.
Our students have ample opportunity to develop leadership skills through many extra-curricular activities including:
We have a sister school agreement with Hisai High School in Japan which encourages the exchange of information, teachers and students.

A Call to Fix the JCP Oberver Status
As a book author and glutton for punishment, I am often interested in
bleeding-edge Java technologies, as they are cooked up through the Java
community process. For example, when David Geary and myself wrote the first
edition of our Core JavaServer Faces book, we needed to work with the early
access versions of the spec and reference implementation (RI).
A simple JSF2+AJAX example
JSF2 will provide a standard mechanism for adding AJAX capabilities to JSF
applications. Jim Driscoll has href="http://weblogs.java.net/blog/driscoll/archive/2008/11/a_simple_ajax_j.html">this
example, but it is a bit odd—the property getter is actually a
mutator. Here is a more run-of-the-mill example.
Baby Steps with JSF 2
There are
several blogs that tell you how to do fancy things with the upcoming JSF 2
(such as these by Ryan Lubke and href="http://weblogs.java.net/blog/driscoll/">Jim Driscoll).
What Worked for Our Blackberry Project
many weeks of labor, my software engineering class is ready to deliver our
BlackBerry project to Cinequest, the organizers of the San Jose Film Festival.
Moviegoers will be able to check the schedule on their Blackber
Where is the source?
This semester, my software engineering class is working on a project to
bring the San Jose Cinequest film festival catalog to the Blackberry. RIM has
generously donated us some devices.
Grief with Gantt charts
Occasionally, I have to put together a project schedule with a Gantt chart.
In my software engineering class, I figured I should use something
cross-platform and open-source, and not Microsoft Project, which I vaguely
remember as a muddleheaded mess.
Restless about REST
In my software engineering class, we are designing an application that shows films and events for the Cinequest film festival on Blackberry devices. We need to get film schedules and descriptions from a server onto the mobile phones.
Core Java Refcard
My second "refcard" has been published by DZone. This time, the DZone team managed to cram an unbelievable amount of Core Java language and library facts onto a small PDF file. Check it out here.

Will Friday's Class 4-A championship tilt be Jerry Pezzetti's last game as Ankeny head coach? One thing's for certain: It's the Hawks' final football game as a unified school.
- Filed Under
The feelings might be as split as the community will be next fall, but everyone associated with Ankeny football can agree on this: The Hawks wanted to prolong their solidarity as long as possible this season.
They wanted to see the end arrive like it will tonight - at the UNI-Dome in Game 14 with a state championship at stake - when Ankeny plays its last football game as a unified program.
The burgeoning community has tripled in size since 1981 when Jerry Pezzetti coached Ankeny in its first playoff game. It's home now to the second-largest high school in Iowa - at least for a few more months, before ...

Should ART Match the Furniture?
What is the role of art in your life?
This exhibit asked artists to create an installation, a vignette, in which art and furniture are considered. There was no parameter. No expectation. Instead the concept was left to the individual artist's interpretation of how to incorporate art within the context of a "livable" space.
Ask yourself...
- Does art only serve the role of decoration in your home?
- How do you select what hangs in your home?
- Is it important to you that someone has made it?
- Do you consider how the art reflects your life?
- How do you know if the art is right?
Where: Helen S. Smith Gallery
When: April 1-30, 2015
The closing Artist's reception for "Should ART Match The Furniture" exhibition, will be on Thursday April 30 from 12:00-1:00 p.m. Refreshments will be served.
The Helen S. Smith Gallery is located at the main entrance of the Holman Library, located on the Green River College's main campus. The gallery features prominent artists from the Pacific Northwest.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
It's the last part, the state of mind, that is and ought to be most elusive. With Reinhardt, it involves the innocence of prewar swing, the nose-thumbing subversions of occupied France, the cool arrogance of bebop, and, tying them together, a uniquely Gallic combination of jazz and sentiment. Lagrene captures much of that, because his understanding of Reinhardt is deep and abiding, but he doesn't belong to that world, and probably doesn't give much thought to it. The best and worst thing you can do to his Gypsy Project is compare each track to the Reinhardt models: best because the correlation underscores his originality; worst because it demonstrates the limitations of devotion and virtuosity. He lacks Django's patience, dark moods, expressive feeling, constructivist logic.
Lagrene is all fireworks and jubilation, the possessor of 10 magical fingers (Django could count on only eight) that sometimes seem to have their own minds. He needs all his wits just to control them. With the first notes of the first track, "Blues Claire," he blazes his own turf. This was a tour de force for Django in 1943a 13-chorus blues solo, which he paced by strumming the sixth chorus and changing the game in the ninth, as the rhythm section briefly dropped out, returning to catch him in a new key. As on almost every track, Lagrene's "Blues Claire" is faster and brighter. He gets you by the short hairs right off with his knowing, percussive attack, tossing in lightning tremolos; he goes on to combine melodic comets with delirious runs, clarifying the schema with eight-bar riffs and fancy four-bar resolutions, and, after six choruses (he strums the sixth for those keeping track), turning it over to Florin Niculescu, an extraordinary violinist who reads Bireli's mind the way Stephane Grappelli read Django's. No key change, no steady buildupjust canny exhilaration, glowing tenacity, churning rhythm.
In every instance but one, Lagrene's versions are shorter than Reinhardt's. Often, I wish they weren'tthat he would let himself go on, if not quite as relentlessly as at Marciac then at least as much as Reinhardt. By sticking to 78-rpm-length performances, Lagrene focuses his statements, compressing them into jewel-like effusions, which is one reason this album never wears out its welcome. It's also one way Lagrene channels that aspect of the Reinhardt state of mind available to him. At Marciac, playing electric guitar (as Django sometimes did after the war, beginning with his only American tour, in 1946), he does what you'd expect to "Donna Lee" and goes over the top on "Autumn Leaves," maybe the fastest interpretation of that tune since Miles Davis played Antibes, although the brilliance itself can be wearying. The Django mindframe not only encourages him to make every note count, but increases a respect for feeling and mood, for site-specific improvisation, for melody. The very sound of the acoustic guitar induces a greater sensitivity to the moment.
Lagrene is the only musician I've ever spent an afternoon watching cartoons with. In 1980, he had released his first album, Routes to Django, at age 13one of the most dazzling debuts in jazz. A couple of years later, I convinced a magazine to send me to Salzburg to interview him and see for myself the young man whom Joseph Reinhardt claimed had inherited his brother's right (flat-picking) hand. He was not yet 16, and spoke as much English as I did Sinti (a Gypsy patois), German, or French, languages in which he was fluent. So through an interpreter, he explained that he began playing at four, began teaching himself Django records at eight, and, after learning that the fourth and fifth digits of his master's fretting hand were paralyzed, spent the next three years teaching himself to play Django's runs with two fingers. He was listening to everyone from Charlie Christian to B.B. King to Pat Martino, but stayed away from electric guitar, which he said did not afford him the sound he wanted. And then his favorite cartoon shows came on, the interpreter put a finger to his lips, and that's how we spent the rest of the day.

Glad to be joining this group!!
It took me a whole evening to try to get a thread or read feed and it just did not work. So now this eve. I was able to subscribe to the feed sucessfully. Something was wrong with this site maybe? But maybe you would be one kind enough to tell me how to read the threads that show up next to a person's post. When I originally posed a question I noticed there were about 12 threads and 120 or so under feeds. But I could not find out how to get to them, or open them or read them. What are they for? I have never had so much irritation. Usually everything works fine on my computer but just not this site. I am ready to say it's not worth the time I am wasting. I just want to knit a sweater for my dog. That's not asking too much is it.

Why cyberwar isn't the warfare you should worry about
- By Tom Mahnken
News reports describing the U.S. role in developing the Stuxnet computer virus, and similar allegations about the existence of a second computer virus, named Flame, have sparked a much-needed debate of cyberwarfare and cybersecurity. President Obama contributed to the discussion last week with a call for greater attention to the latter in the Wall Street Journal.
News of Stuxnet has also, however, generated its share of hysteria. Writing in the New York Times, Columbia University's Misha Glenny painted an alarming picture:
"The … Stuxnet computer worm … marked a significant and dangerous turning point in the gradual militarization of the Internet … If it continues, contemporary warfare will change fundamentally as we move into hazardous and uncharted territory … Stuxnet has effectively fired the starting gun in a new arms race that is very likely to lead to the spread of similar and still more powerful offensive cyberweaponry across the Internet."
Glenny goes on to warn of the "frightening dangers of an uncontrolled arms race in cyberspace" where viruses "inevitably seek out and attack the networks of innocent parties." He worries that "Nobody can halt the worldwide rush to create cyberweapons" but calls for a treaty to regulate their use in peacetime.
Strong stuff. And certainly there is reason to harden U.S. infrastructure against cyber attack. In doing so, however, we should avoid cyber hysteria. Earlier this year, Thomas Rid of King's College London published an important article on cyberwarfare in The Journal of Strategic Studies (which, in the interests of full disclosure, I edit). Rid argues, persuasively in my view, that it is misleading to talk about "cyberwar" when, in fact, all politically motivated cyber attacks to date are merely more sophisticated versions of three traditional activities: sabotage, espionage, and subversion. Stuxnet clearly falls into the first category; Flame into the second.
I would take the argument a step further. Although many view cyber weapons as tools of the weak, they are likely to be most effective when wielded by the strong. That is because cyber means cannot compensate for weakness in other instruments of power. In other words, if a cyber attack by a weaker power on a stronger one fails to achieve its aim, the attacker is likely to face retaliation. In such a situation, the stronger power will possess more, and more lethal, options to retaliate — what is known in nuclear deterrence terminology as escalation dominance. A weak power might be able to cause a stronger power some annoyance through cyber attack, but in seeking to compel an adversary through cyberwar, it would run the very real risk of devastating escalation.
In addition to escalation dominance, stronger powers, particularly stronger states, are likely to possess a greater ability to combine cyber means with other military instruments to conduct a combined-arms campaign. As a result, it may very well be that although weak powers may attempt to wage cyberwar, they are likely to face cyber weapons wielded by the strong
Because Glenny overestimates the effectiveness of cyber weapons, he also overestimates the speed and scope of their spread. There is a considerable body of work on the diffusion of innovations, and that research tends to show that new ways of war tend to spread more slowly, unevenly, and incompletely than one might think. Adam Liff of Princeton University has recently argued, again in The Journal of Strategic Studies, that the spread of cyber weapons is likely to have a relatively small influence on the frequency of war and that in some cases it may actually decrease its likelihood.
The growth, spread, and effectiveness of cyber weapons is an important subject. Although cyber-hysteria may grab headlines and sell books, it is a topic important enough to deserved focused, reasoned, and thoughtful discussion. Let the debate begin!

If ever there was a dog whose prospects looked grim, it was Carson the Shih Tzu. Two years ago, when the three-year-old breeding dog was rescued from a puppy mill in central Minnesota, Carson's face and underweight body were completely overwhelmed by huge mats of hair, urine and feces. When his rescuers bathed him, they discovered that his eyes had been eaten away by infection. There was nothing left to save: His eye sockets were cleaned out and his lids sewn shut.
Jessica Danielson was on Petfinder.com seeking a companion for her senior pooch Diesel, and although she wasn't looking for a challenge, she was drawn to Carson's posting. "I knew I could give him everything he needed. God put him right there and said 'This is the one. He needs you.' When I called the rescue to set up a meeting, Carson's foster mom almost started crying because she thought he'd never find a home."
"It took almost a year before he would trust me enough to cuddle me, kiss my face, and just feel safe enough to wander the house," remembers Jessica. In spite of his rough start, Carson is now a very loving and affectionate boy who has taught his new mom, in her words, about "survival, trust, and the real meaning of love!"
Carson's impact on Jessica doesn't end there. Now in love with the breed, she went on to adopt two more rescued Shih Tzus—Ernie and Mr. Wiggles—and became a volunteer foster mom for special-needs dogs through Ruff Start Rescue.

While a pet store puppy may be hard to resist, purchasing one dooms his parents, dogs like Carson, to lives of cruelty, filth and neglect.

I have 5 shih tsu dogs, I rescued 2 and they are the loves of my life. It is my great honor and privledge to receive love and devotion from them. My Lily now 3yrs. came to me because her previous owner felt she was aggressive and wanted her euthonized at 3months old, she weighed 3.5 lbs. She was meant to be my dog and is the most devoted and loving little girl. These little creatures teach us what unconditional love is all about. Bless you Jessica.
I love a happy ending! Carson is certainly blessed to have found such a loving home. I am so glad that his mom saw the value in little Carson. Animals have so much to teach us.
OMG, He is adorable. I would like to go with the ASPCA on a rescue at one of the puppy mills, I feel the need to be a part of that so bad. I want to be able to rescue some dogs from a horrible situation. It would give me satisfaction, a great satisfaction.
I rescued my spoiled little fellow in mid october 2012. I have been trying to get him groomed by someone used to dealing with rescue dog issues. Ziggy is afraid to have someone get anywhere near his face since he has had a broken jaw from his attack before I got him. Little tongue hangs out all the time from where the piece of jaw bone is missing. I can't even brush him now that his hair has grown across his eyes and he can not see. I have been trying to get him groomed since November 2012, but my groomer has cancelled on me 3 times and now I am desperate to find someone who is not afraid to groom him. He will swing his head as if to smip when being brushed etc, but he can not clasp his jaw to bite. he is just jumpy and makes me jumpy when I try to brush him. He is becoming a mess due to this dilema. I never let my long hair dogs get to this point. He is 3 months overdue for a groom. HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!
This is why I hate the puppy mill industry so bad. Look what it does to helpless animals. I had a friend give me a rescued puppy mill mom-King Cavarlier Spaniel. She was the most loving, sweet little angel. But very sad to say, I only had her 3 months. She died one night, in her sleep. It broke my heart, but I knew, in those 3 months, she had a wonderful, loving home with me. I'm so happy for Carson and his mom!
jaw dropped when i read this...bless carson's new home...can not believe someone could hurt animals. especially shih tzus!!
I love people who love animals! Thank you so much for having such a big heart!
poor little guy i took one just like him in the same condition took almost a year for him to come around but now he is the sweetest thing you will ever meet he is one of 2 i took in from awful conditions. these people shoud be treated the same way they treated these poor dogs
I took in a shi tsu because his family left Dubai at the start of the economic crisis and 6 months later his left eye became extremely infected and the vet, who I visited, didn't know what to do so he lost his eye. After a few weeks Snoopy behaved as if he had perfect vision. Snoopy was bought in a pet shop here and had come from a puppy farm in eastern Europe. But now, 4 years later, he is full of life and enjoying life with all the other dogs who come to spend their holidays with us.
OMG! Carson looks just like my Shih Tzu, Ty Ty. How can anyone be so cruel as to let this baby suffer like he did. I can't imagine the pain he went through. My Ty is almost blind, but from old age. Their eyes need lots of care because of the hair surrounding them. They are high maintenance pups, but the best breed. If you ever have a Shih Tzu, you will never go back! They are just the most loving and precious babies. Carson is lucky to have his new Mommy, and she is lucky to have him.

Aga Muhlach supporters barricade Camarines Sur town hall
More News from Shiena Barrameda
TIGAON, Camarines Sur, Philippines—About 50 people consisting of town officials, members of the municipal board of canvassers, Commission on Elections representatives and members of election watchdog groups were trapped inside the municipal hall for about 18 hours since Wednesday after a throng of supporters of actor Aga Muhlach refused to let them out.
The Muhlach supporters, numbering from between 1,500 and 2,000, massed around the town hall and barred anyone from leaving for fear that the actor would be cheated out of his votes in the Tigaon balloting and ruin his chances of victory in the hotly contested race for the congressional seat representing the province's fourth district between him and William "Wimpy" Fuentebella, scion of the clan that has dominated the district for decades.
Local Comelec personnel led by municipal election officer Haide Tigue were able to leave at around 8 a.m. Thursday only because she needed to be taken to a hospital after she collapsed at 5:30 a.m. due to stress and fatigue.
This correspondent was also among those barred from leaving the town hall until about 6:30 a.m., when a member of Muhlach's campaign staff arrived and intervened.
Hours before that, at around 10 p.m., municipal employee Jerry Cama, who was handling food preparation and janitorial work, tried to leave but was mobbed and beaten up by Muhlach's supporters.
Police and soldiers sent to the town to provide security rushed him back inside the town hall, his face heavily bruised and his shirt stained with blood.
Eric Amador, head of the local National Movement for Free Elections, tried to calm down the crowd but he was shooed away.
The municipality's mayor, Arnie Fuentebella, is the younger brother of Wimpy and this gave rise to more suspicion among Muhlach's supporters that the municipal returns would be rigged in favor of Wimpy.
Mayor Fuentebella, who was inside his office when the crowd started to gather at around 10 a.m. Wednesday, was likewise trapped and was hardly seen outside his office, except for the few occasions during the night when he talked to police and soldiers positioned outside his office to ask them to exercise maximum tolerance to ensure that no untoward incident would happen.
According to a member of the mayor's staff, he did not go anywhere near the canvassing being held at the municipal session hall to avoid suspicion of manipulation of the vote count.
The municipal board of canvassers convened at around 7 p.m. to count the votes for the congressional seat and immediately electronically transmitted each precinct count to the provincial board of canvassers at the Capitol in Pili, Camarines Sur.
The canvass ended at 11 p.m., with one precinct uncounted, that of Barangay Cabalinadan, as it was excluded due to corrupted CF card, Tigue told the Inquirer shortly before midnight.
The uncounted precinct return, which accounted for about 668 ballots, would be canvassed by the municipal canvassing board once the replacement CF card arrived, mostly likely at around noon Thursday, said Tigue.
To ease the tension, a projector was mounted outside the town hall to flash the official results from each precinct but these were ignored by the crowd, which was interested only in knowing if Muhlach had won in the town or had been cheated.
The municipal canvassing board also decided not to do a partial official count to ease the tension and just let the official precinct results be released at the provincial canvassing board level.
Annie Nicolas, a leader of Muhlach's supporters, said in an interview at around 8 a.m. that they intended to stay at the municipal hall grounds until the final results are out, including that in the CF card that was corrupted, because they believed the actor won in the municipality.

On International Coastal Clean-up Day, students of Chennai schools and colleges hit the beaches for a massive drive and also sent out a strong anti-pollution message.
In its effors to ensure a clean environment, the Indian Coast Guard in collaboration with Loyola College and Tree Foundation observed the International Coastal Clean-up Day at all the major beaches in Chennai. The Mayor of Chennai M. Subramaniam presided over the event.
Like the previous yearss, this year's also saw huge participation from people in and around Chennai. The aim of the annual drive is to create public awareness on the need for prevention of pollution in marine environments, as visitors tend to leave garbage behind and dirty our lovely beaches.
A giant Olive Ridley Sea Turtle and life-size dolphin models were mounted on a van, decorated with various posters and slogans with the message to prevent pollution, which went around Chennai for a week preceding ICC day on September 25. The 210 km stretch of the coast was divided between 40-45 teams which consisted of around 3500 students from 24 colleges and eight schools. The winners of the ICC Competition were WCC (1st place), Kanniyapan Community College (2nd place), Loyola College (3rd place) and the consolation prize was bagged by the Guru Nanak College. The litter collected at the Marina beach amounted to four tonnes, 1.5 tonnes each from Elliots and Thiruvanmaiyur beaches and the fishing villages collected around half a ton of garbage each.
The participants in teams of 20 pooled in their energy and time, and collected trash from the various parts of the beach, covering part by part, putting all the trash in the given trash bags, filling up the data collection sheet and also flaunting banners, charts and slogans.
C. Sharan of P.S. Senior Secondary School said , " the plastics that get into the ocean pose a major problem to the turtles and larger marine life, when they eat plastic covers that look like jelly fish, it gets stuck in their intestines; because plastic is buoyant, the animals cannot dive to get food and they starve to death". According to a student from WCC, their strategy was to divide their team into small groups and scatter throughout the Marina, they also presented data on the collected trash with lots of charts and posters with slogans. Sindhu, a volunteer from Anna University said that it is these small steps that would ensure a better society for future generations.
An officer from the Coast Guard said , " the ICC is a great movement which evokes people's participation in conservation and maintaining our bio-diversity, but if it is brought more into practice it would help to sustain the seas and its biodiversity in a much better way.' The International Coastal Cleanup Day proved to be an eye opener to many and one definitely could hope that it will bring in a sea change.
According to the data collected, the maximum amount of litter was from:
Cigarettes and filters
Plastic bags and bottles
Food wrappers and containers
Caps and lids
Fishing ropes and discarded nets
Paper bags
Straws and plastic spoons
Cups, plates and spoons
Glass bottles and tins

Legless cyclist rides for asylum seekers
Sunday - 11/10/2013, 11:26am EST
Associated Press
EL PASO, Texas (AP) -- Carlos Gutierrez passed out as the large blade cut through his legs -- punishment for his refusal to pay a Mexican gang extortion fees from his successful catering business in northern Mexico.
Four men had forced him into the back of his vehicle at a local park before slicing just under his knees. He spent two weeks in critical condition and sought asylum in Texas as soon as he was able.
Now, facing long odds on getting approval to stay in the U.S., Gutierrez has been staging an unusual demonstration to call attention to his plight and to the thousands of other Mexicans who seek asylum in the U.S. each year from drug cartel violence, with little success. Gutierrez has been riding his bicycle through Texas using his prosthetic legs, talking to everyone he meets.
"If someone from Cuba or from Venezuela can get asylum, why not someone from Mexico?" said Gutierrez, who spent nearly two weeks on his 800-mile bicycle trek from El Paso to Central Texas.
U.S. law allows asylum for those who have credible fear of persecution based on their race, religion, national origin, political status or membership in a particular social group.
But Mexican asylum seekers have struggled to convince U.S. courts they fit in any of these categories, with approval rates running 1 to 2 percent. By contrast, more than a fourth of immigrants from other Latin American countries such as Colombia and Venezuela were granted asylum last year. Many can cite ethnic or political grounds.
Since he hopped on his bicycle in El Paso on Oct. 28, Gutierrez has been making his case for a change in the system. His journey ended Saturday in Austin.
Along the way townspeople came out from shops and houses to wave and talk with him during rest stops. The 35-year-old endured rain, strong winds, flat tires and fatigue. On the fifth day, a prosthetic specialist met him to adjust his legs because he was bruising and blistering.
"There were times when we thought it'd be best to have him rest, to drive him to the next town to let his legs recover, but he'd say, 'No,'" said Jaqueline Armendariz, a member of the support team for the ride to Austin. "He has a mission."
Gutierrez said he never considered quitting.
It doesn't matter, he said, "how grave your wound was. What matters is that you get up. I have no legs, but I am on my feet."
The U.S. Executive Office for Immigration Review did not specifically comment on Gutierrez's case. However, immigration judges have acknowledged in court that asylum cases based on fear of crime or violence are difficult to make.
"I believe everything you just told me," immigration Judge Stephen Ruhle told a Mexican applicant at a recent hearing in which the man described being targeted by corrupt police officers for extortion money. "But asylum is not applicable to cases like yours."
Some scholars have argued that many applicants should qualify under a looser definition of "social group." A 2010 report by the United Nations' High Commissioner for Refugees said people who, on principle, refuse to pay extortion could be considered a group.
Other experts say the threats to individuals have evolved since asylum categories were defined in treaties after World War II.
"Now, people are fleeing different forms of persecution," said Karen Musalo, director of the Center for Gender and Refugee Studies at the University of California. "There are women fleeing from domestic violence, genital mutilation or honor killings. There are people fleeing from drug cartels and gangs."
But others are skeptical. About 9,200 Mexicans sought asylum last year, up from 3,560 in 2008. The increase has prompted some lawmakers to suggest that immigrants are using the asylum system as a backdoor way to stay into the U.S. Applicants often wait more than two years for their court date. Gutierrez's case has been pending since 2011.
Philip Schrag, a professor of public interest law at Georgetown University, said many applications come from Mexicans who have been apprehended crossing illegally into the U.S.
"Many come seeking employment but are not threatened," he said.
Gutierrez has worked in a burrito shop to help support his wife and children while his case goes through the system.
He said he has put his life in Chihuahua behind him.
"I'd rather think about the future," he said.

Eat dates for shorter labor
Look in the produce section or dried fruits. That's where they usually are. If you're close to a healh food store, they may have them with the dry bulk goods.
Just want to comment that this study was done in Jordan, and so probably only includes Jordanian (is that right?) women, so it's possible genetics would affect the outcome.
That said, I'm totally going to try this... good thing I love dates ;-)
First comes love (2006), then comes marriage (2009), then come the babies in the baby carriage (2013, 2015)
Mirandas34, thank you. I printed out the recipes and will try!
Me(27), DH(29), Baby #1 (9/4/13) - It's a girl
I wonder if it helps with milk production, too? Fascinating! I'm going to try this, since I'm planning an unmedicated childbirth---my second had a pretty quick labor (that resulted in an unmedicated childbirth), and if I can have that again, I'd be a happy mama!
This is neat! I had never heard of that before.
@emelief. I understand what you mean about Jordanian women/genetics, but if both samples were similar in their demographics and there were the significant differences they reported in terms of labour outcomes, genetics shouldn't really be a confounding factor because both groups would in theory be matched on all other factors, with the exception of date consumption. You're right that, technically, generalizability is limited because of where the study was done and it should be more widely replicated scientifically, but I don't imagine that date consumption and it's effects on labour hold true for only Jordanian women. Just my two cents! I've done a lot of Psych work, so studies and stats like these are my bread and butter. :)
Thanks for the reminder. :) I usually have dates around during Ramadan, but not during the rest of the year. I'll have to remember to keep buying them after Ramadan is over.
Since a week i have been eating dates like a go to snack!! omg... may be not the right time now!!
I have heard this too. And its awesome. The only sweeteners I use are dates and maple syrup, so this rocks!
Hmm... I know that I couldn't access the whole article (just the abstract), but I thought the results were significant given that the probability levels were less than .05 for all of the results reported in the abstract. Does the medical community require a more strict probability level than the APA?

Hilla Medalia's documentary Dancing in Jaffa derives its strength, much like a dancer's, from various isolated strains.
Pierre Dulaine is a famous ballroom dancer and instructor (played by Antonio Banderas in 2006's Take the Lead), and his Dancing Classrooms project in New York City is a character-building program for elementary- and middle-school-age kids.
Dulaine brings his idealism about the power of dancing to his hometown of Jaffa, Israel, a Tel Aviv suburb and ancient port city of Christians, Muslims, and Jews.

The story, like so many in the Middle East, is pocked with complexities. Dulaine is a Palestinian (his mother was Palestinian and French, his father an Irish soldier) whose family lost their home after the 1948 war. Medalia, as an Israeli, knows this bumpy territory well and serves up her story sensitively, but with its difficulties unvarnished and unsolved.
She focuses on a few children whom we get to know well enough to care very much about their progress. Dulaine himself is one of those beautifully arrogant masters of his craft, which enables him to overpower all kinds of resistance from his 11-year-old pupils — their awkward bodies, their awkward emotions, their politics, their religions, their fears — and confront his own intense brew of mixed emotions.
"In ballroom dancing, there has to be certain amount of trust," Dulaine says, and that, plus the rhumba, the tango, and the merengue, are his gifts to the children of Jaffa.

A new study published in JAMA Internal Medicine last week has found, yet again, that vegetarians may live longer than their carnivorous counterparts. In this study, the largest of its kind to date, researchers from Loma Linda University in California surveyed 70,000 participants and found that vegetarians had a 12% lower risk of death than meat-eaters. This association between lower risk of death and vegetarianism was far greater in men than in women. Men showed lower risk of heart disease and heart-related conditions while women did not show that same association.
Some are questioning this study and calling it inconclusive, though. With 70,000 participants, this was an extremely large survey, but the participants were surveyed only once as opposed to studied over time. Since humans' dietary choices and needs change over time, this only shows us how vegetarians fared at that time. Furthermore, the study was done only on Seventh-day Adventists, a religious group that promotes vegetarianism and frowns upon alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco as part of their godly lifestyle. These other restrictions could have played a part in a reduced risk of death, as well.
However, it's been proven time and time again that plant-based diets help people live longer, healthier lives. Here are a few ways going vegetarian can help your health.
1. Reduces Risk of Heart Disease
Heart disease is America's leading cause of death. Animal foods are our only source of dietary cholesterol, and high cholesterol is a main cause of heart disease, so it makes sense that cutting animal products out of your diet will help reduce your risk of heart disease. In this way, going vegan — not eating any animal foods at all — is the best way to reduce your risk of heart disease.
2. Reduces Risk of Cancer and Stroke
Cancer and strokes are the number two and three killers in America, respectively, and cutting out meat products can reduce your risk of both. According to a study on cancer and vegetarianism, incidences of all cancers are lower in vegetarians. In fact, a vegetarian diet can reduce or eliminate your risk factors for cancer. As for strokes, it has been found that one of the best ways of preventing strokes is to eat potassium-rich foods. These foods are mostly plant-based; the best sources of dietary potassium are leafy green vegetables, dates, and beans. Most Americans don't even come close to eating enough potassium, but vegetarians who consume these plant-based foods are well on their way to preventing strokes.
3. Makes You More Aware of Food Choices
Being a vegetarian can be difficult at first. When you go out to restaurants, there aren't as many options, and you might find yourself putting some of your favorite meat-filled recipes on the shelf. However, one of the best things about being vegetarian is having an excuse to explore some great new cuisines. Knowing what foods contain which nutrients and how much of them you need during the day is crucial to living a healthy lifestyle, vegetarian or not. Since they have to think about food without meat, though, vegetarians are often more aware of those food choices.
4. Can Help You Lose Weight and Feel Your Best
On average, vegans are 30 pounds lighter than meat-eaters. Vegetarians in general are also less insulin resistant than omnivores and therefore, have less need for medication and are at a lower risk for type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, as stated above, vegetarians have a wider variety of foods they generally eat. This almost always increases their intake of dietary fiber, phytochemicals, antioxidants, magnesium and folic acid. All of these help your organs function properly to keep you healthy.
It's important to note that just cutting out meat will not automatically give you these health benefits, and you don't have to be a strict vegetarian to enjoy a healthier lifestyle. Vegetarians who cut out meat but who continue to eat greasy and sugary foods without increasing their plant-based food intake will likely not see a health benefit. Meat-eaters who choose salads, fresh fruit and veggies, or who add other plant-based sources of nutrients to their diet, can see a reduction in their risk of death and disease, as well.

Mindanao areas brace for possible mass deportation due to Sabah issue
More News from Inquirer Mindanao
ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines–The local governments in Western Mindanao and in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao are getting ready for the Filipinos who might be repatriated to the country as a result of the fighting in Sabah.
"We are expecting mass deportation, but I hope our expectations are wrong," said ARMM acting governor Mujiv Hataman, as he announced the creation of a crisis management committee.
Hataman said that with its national security threatened, Malaysia would most probably review its internal security policies to ensure that the conflict will not happen again.
He said that with the huge number of Filipinos, with and without proper documentation, working in Malaysia, it is possible that many will be ejected from Sabah.
"But we are appealing to the Malaysian government not to include those who (have) no participation in the conflict," Hataman said.
Lawyer Laisa Alamia, human rights director for ARMM, said a humanitarian crisis might be at hand.
"We are expecting a humanitarian crisis. We are also looking at the impact after the violence," Alamia said.
Alamia added that the crisis management body would be setting up the protocols in handling the imminent massive deportations.
"This is a different experience because unlike the previous deportation, which are caused by not having the proper documents, this time the deportation is due to violence," Alamia said.
Hataman explained that the crisis management committee, as an inter-agency effort, has already identified important tasks for each agency to provide government social services.
For immediate concerns, the Departments of Health and Social Welfare and Development were mobilized, Hataman said.
For long-term needs, the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, the Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources will implement programs to help the people reconstruct their lives.
The crisis management committee will have stations in Tawi-Tawi, Zamboanga, Basilan and Sulu where those repatriated are expected to arrive.
Hataman also appealed to all parties involved in the conflict to look beyond sovereignty.
"Let us go beyond the issue of sovereignty and sit down and talk as Muslim brothers," he said.
DSWD Undersecretary Pombaen Kadir said their projection is that at least 10 percent of 800,000 Filipinos in Sabah would be going home.
On Tuesday morning, a total of 47 families arrived on a kumpit (wooden boat) in Sibutu Island in Tawi-Tawi.
"These families are from Basilan, Tawitawi and Sulu," Kadir said.
Kadir said the DSWD in Western Mindanao and the ARMM are pooling their resources for the crisis.

Launcher crashes after login.

You are in it seems the exact same position as myself, as soon as those two words, loading launcher appears on the sto launcher i get the same white cryptic error reporter pop up.
As for ISP im in the UK so its completely different ISP's to you. Everything was working fine my end before the patch. after the patch that little white box is all i have seen.
I've now spent over 10 hours trying to force the launcher to patch. Steam is having the exact same issue at the same point. I went looking for a full download manual patch installation file, but even though according to tech support pages there is one, its been removed and replaced with arc.
I've downloaded and installed arc, still have the exact same issue once the initial 110mb has been downloaded by arc.
I've tried copying files over from steam and tried tricking the launcher into force verifying them, but again its not happening.
The launcher system is breaking in between entering password and before the patcher actually launches.
Due to this there is no way of forcing a verification, or triggering it to start in safemode. There also doesnt seem to be anyway of manually triggering the patcher to pull the latest versions of files.

You could call it a match made in heaven.
Pete Zalizniak was an acting teacher without any students. Pastor Todd Redden wanted to start a drama group to perform skits for the services at New Beginnings Christian Center in Seneca Knolls, so he placed an advertisement in a local religious publication. Zalizniak responded to the ad, and the Open Door theatre group was born.
For the past few months, the group has been meeting every Saturday at 6 p.m. at the church at 7247 State Fair Blvd. Their first big performance, an Easter show, was "a really big success" according to Zalizniak. Participation is open to anyone who is interested in learning more about theater.
"It's an opportunity for anybody who's ever been interested in theater to get involved in a no-pressure environment," Zalizniak said. "It's a really supportive environment. That's why we came up with the name Open Door. Everyone's welcome -- come as you are."
"More churches are using drama than ever before," Redden said. "People respond very well to the visual arts. We decided that we are going to try to do more drama as part of a different way to approach a message. Our real focus is to have a message in what we're doing."
Zalizniak, who has a master's degree in theater and currently works with Appleseed Theater in Syracuse, provides basic acting lessons to Open Door participants at no cost so that the group can perform small skits at the church every month. Aspiring actors as well as those interested in non-acting pursuits such as props, set construction, make-up, costumes and playwriting are all welcome.
"The guy is phenomenal," Redden said.
"Whoever is interested is getting some really, really good teaching," he said, adding that the skits performed so far ranged from comedy to drama to slapstick.
Those interested in learning more about the group can contact Zalizniak at 456-9667 or firstname.lastname@example.com. The church's website is newbeginningssyracuse.org.

THE Plaza Rakyat project in Kuala Lumpur was launched at about the same time that the Suria KLCC was being built in the mid-90s.
However, while the iconic twin towers stand majestically tall today, the Plaza Rakyat project has been left uncompleted and stands like a sore thumb at the busy Pudu area.
While many of the buyers have now given up hope on the RM1.4bil project after waiting for almost 15 years, some are still keeping the fingers crossed, hoping that it could be revived as they had invested heavily in it.
Retiree Steven Yong, 65, said when the Plaza Rakyat project was launched in 1996, he paid a substantial amount in downpayment for two shop lots of different sizes, one on the first floor and another on the fourth floor, both costing a total of nearly RM600,000.
"During that time, there was a huge publicity about the prestigious project and it was very promising. It had a sense of security and modernity to it, and it sounded like a real good investment," Yong said.
"My late wife, who was running a hair salon at the Central Market bought a unit with the intention of moving her business into the Plaza Rakyat. But my wife didn't live to see her dream come true as, even till today, the project has yet to be completed," he said.
"Now my son Will has taken over the salon, which is still at Central Market, and we are hoping that the Plaza Rakyat project will be revived," Yong said.
He said the developer had promised to complete the building in three or four years at the time of purchase but till today, despite various promises, the project was still stalled.
"In 2005, the project developer was asked by the then Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Zulhasnan Rafique to provide a timetable of its work schedule till completion, but till now, there is no sign of any progress," he said.
According to Yong, there are about 200 buyers who are in such a dilemma like him.
"The first floor of the building is completed before work was halted. I am still servicing the bank loan interest for my first floor unit although I am paying nothing for the fourth floor unit," he said.
The Plaza Rakyat project, developed by Wembley Industries Hol-dings Bhd, is on 6.322 million sq ft of land leased from the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) for 88 years.
The first phase comprises a retail shopping plaza with a million sq ft of net letable area, a 223-unit 41-storey condominium block, a central terminus for the Light Rail Rapid Transit system (LRT), long haul buses and outstation taxis, and a 150-room tourist class hotel.
The second phase comprises a 72-storey office tower with a million sq ft of letable space and a 19-storey 480-room 4-star hotel, originally scheduled for completion in 1998.
However, work on the project was stopped after the developer landed into a financial crisis.
But there may be hope yet as the developer has been given three months to come up with a plan to revive the project.
