Rural health centers are located in rural and underserved N.C. communities. The centers offer basic health care to all residents, regardless of their ability to pay. All rural health centers accept Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance. If you do not have health insurance or cannot afford medical care, you may qualify for ORHCC's Medical Access Plan (MAP). MAP eligibility is based on income. MAP patients pay a co-payment, and the ORHCC pays the difference for each office visit up to $60.
Anyone may receive basic health services at the rural health centers.

Major: Sociology
Employer: Community Health Resources
Internship Title: Care Coordinator
Kelsey took the responsibility of finding an internship on herself to fulfill a requirement for her minor in Criminology. Along with her supervisor she works as a communication liaison between the courts, probation, or other referral sources as far as the clinician's recommendation or client activity within the agency. Kelsey works to update client information regarding things such as urinalyses or breathalyzer screens and psychotherapy or group therapies attended by clients. Her internship also includes activities like verifying, processing, and forwarding client discharges. Further, she has shadowed group therapies dealing with different areas of behavioral health. Her internship has provided Kelsey with knowledge regarding how agencies work with probation offices and how her work can have an impact on various clients.
Kelsey's position as a Care Coordinator is related to her career aspirations because she wants to be an adult probation officer. Specifically, this internship showed Kelsey how referral sources work when a client is mandated to attend court.
Based on her experience, Kelsey's advice for her peers is to not wait for someone to hand you a great internship. She got her internships on her own by talking to the right people and knowing exactly what she wanted to do. She says, "It really is all about whom you know, not what you can do. Make connections! A degree is great but without experience you can't get very far."

Congratulatory letter from our Superintendent
Wilbur Charter for Enriched Academics seeks to create a challenging learning environment that encourages high expectations for success through developmental-appropriate instruction that allows for individual differences and learning styles.
Welcome to Wilbur Charter for Enriched Academics!
Imagine a school where all students and staff are eager for the week to begin, parents unselfishly volunteer their time and money, and community partners willingly support our school. Our non-profit parent organization, (Friends of Wilbur) has contributed to our beautiful school with outdoor learning classrooms/landscape gardens, murals, grassy play areas, and a top of the line computer lab, with brand new touch screen computers. In addition, each classroom is equipped with an Interactive White Board, our yard has play structures that keep our children fit, our children use an upgraded library with current books, and we have a science lab and art room.
Welcome to Wilbur Charter for Enriched Academics, located in beautiful Tarzana. The school opened its doors in 1959 and is built on a solid academic curriculum, encouraging the growth of the whole child, and a reputation for excellence.
Wilbur has established itself as a high achieving school with academic excellence. Our API scores are consistently rising. This is the direct result of concerted efforts of a committed staff, determined students and involved parent community. Our incredible staff includes 5 staff development trainers, 2 BTSA support providers, 3 National Board Teachers, and 1 grant writer whose efforts have funded programs that complement our standards-based curriculum. Currently, two of our wonderful teachers are working towards their National Board Certification.
Wilbur is a California Distinguished School due to the joint efforts of our Administrators, Teachers and Parents. Of course, we couldn't have done it without our students who work so hard.
Our parents devote thousands of hours through volunteering and running many of the committees that have made us a great school. Many of our parents volunteer in the library, during art or computer class and as readers during Literacy Circles. The parent organization, Friends of Wilbur, encourages potential parents to visit and experience the Wilbur spirit. We have approximately six parent tours a year. Many of our events like Pajamarama, Open House, Pancake Breakfast, Spring Carnival and our annual Wilbur Dinner Auction are community events.
Wilbur has a diverse afterschool enrichment program that includes a performing arts component consisting of dance, art and play production that has been acknowledged by the Daily News and other local newspapers for an outstanding job. We have performed Annie, Young America Sings, School House Rocks, Evolution of Rock and Broadway Magic at the theater located at California State University, Northridge.
This collaboration and financial support from our neighborhood has brought back many of the students from the surrounding community and local private schools. We believe when parents and community become collaborative partners in their children's education, the results will speak for themselves.
Wilbur encourages visitors to experience a firsthand look at our fabulous school and we look forward to sharing our successes with all stakeholders.
We at Wilbur Charter for Enriched Academics are lucky enough to have two great parents who wrote a wonderful, energetic song that we sing at all events. In case you don't have it, download a copy to share with your kids. You can learn it together!

Don't Forget the Feet
27 "Playing with the arch of my foot will give me an orgasm." —Carmen, 37
28 Footplay can make a so-so session stellar. "The part of the brain that processes sensory input for the feet is right next to the part that processes genital stimulation," says Lorenz. "For some women, there may be some sort of cross wiring between these two parts of the brain." Even if her nerves aren't entangled, playing with her piggies is worthwhile: A 2010 Korean study found that couples who exchanged foot massages twice a week fought less and communicated better than less touchy couples.

Lenovo is open and ready for business with System x
IBM x86 products are now products of Lenovo in the U.S. and other countries. IBM will continue to host x86-related content on ibm.com until migrated to Lenovo.
Learn more about the acquisition
The IBM System x3950 M2 server provides extraordinary levels of scalability and processing power needed to run the most demanding enterprise database workloads. The x3950 M2 system is based on the fourth generation of IBM X-Architecture and is built on eX4 technology. As a scale-up platform, it offers unprecedented flexibility for supporting multi-node configurations using up to 96 processor cores.
The System x3950 M2 is the ultimate in scale-up design. Scale-up refers to the idea of increasing processing capacity by adding additional processors (and memory and I/O bandwidth) to a single server, making it more powerful. This is precisely what the x3950 M2 is designed to do: to scale up by adding chassis to a hardware partition to form two-node, four-node, and eight-node configurations. SQL Server 2008 is also designed for scale-up.
Thus, when your database application needs to scale-up to handle increased demands, the x3950 M2 and SQL Server 2008 together can grow from a one-node server to an enterprise-class four-node server with up to 96 processor cores and 1 TB of physical memory, which the 64-bit SQL Server 2008 x64 can take full advantage of.
This IBM Redbooks publication presents technical considerations and configuration examples for scaling up Microsoft SQL Server 2008 to support very high workloads.

Newest Padres work like Beavers
Call-ups from Portland help end Petco skid
New blood, new outcome.
The Padres called up three players from Triple-A, then ended their longest home losing streak since Petco Park opened.
"We feel these are changes that will help our team," manager Bud Black said before Tuesday night's game.
From his lips to Abner Doubleday's ears.
After spotting the Florida Marlins a run in the first inning, the retooled Padres answered with four of their own, then eased to a 10-1 victory, their most lopsided win since a rout of the Dodgers on June 12.
Leadoff man Scott Hairston powered a 13-hit attack with a three-run home run and two doubles, sending Randy Wolf (6-8) to his first victory in the left-hander's last five decisions and halting the team's nine-game losing streak at Petco.
The Padres also got help from outfielder Chip Ambres and pinch-hitter Brian Myrow, two minor league veterans called up from the Portland Beavers; and utility man Luis Rodriguez, who started at shortstop for the first time as a Padre. Left-hander Joe Thatcher, also promoted from Triple-A, helped mop up with a scoreless inning.
"We didn't know what to expect," Hairston said. "You looked around and there were new faces everywhere. But contributing right away was a big lift for us."
Ambres drilled a single in the first inning, drew two walks and played adequately in Petco's right field, which is large and quirky.
For all the former Beavers around him, Ambres might as well have been in Portland's PGE Park. He was one of 10 Padres players in uniform last night who have played for the Beavers this season.
"It kind of felt like we're back in Triple-A," said the 28-year-old, whose 16 home runs led the Beavers. "One guy gets a hit, and you want to keep it going."
A left-handed first baseman who is blocked by the Padres' Adrian Gonzalez and Tony Clark, Myrow had a .455 on-base percentage and 10 home runs for the Beavers. He batted for Wolf in the seventh and hit his first major league home run for the game's final run.
Rodriguez, another former Beavers regular, ably rested shortstop Khalil Greene, who leads all major league shortstops in innings played. The Venezuelan made a diving, backhanded catch, reached base twice and hit a sacrifice fly to cap a five-run outburst in the sixth (he also had a fielding error).
Former Beavers star Chase Headley delivered the game's biggest hit: a three-run double off a 97-mph fastball from Andrew Miller (5-8) with one out in the first. The first to score on the liner to left-center was Hairston, who had hit a leadoff double in quick response to the home run Wolf had allowed to Jeremy Hermida.
"Those four runs were big," Wolf said.
Wolf had called himself the "worst pitcher in baseball" after his previous start in Denver, a reflection of his 0-4 record and 8.31 ERA the previous four games. By moving his hands farther from his body in a bullpen session Saturday, he regained extension on his delivery, which he said improved his pitch accuracy, velocity and movement.

A SIMPLE molecule not only stops tumours spreading, it also limits their blood supply. And because it targets cancers with precision, it promises to cause fewer side effects than similar anticancer treatments.
The molecule, a circular peptide comprising just 10 amino acids, owes its precision to the fact that it binds to two enzymes produced exclusively by tumour cells and growing blood vessels. The target enzymes, called gelatinase A and gelatinase B, help tumour cells to burrow through structural tissue and the linings of blood vessels. This allows them to escape from their original site, migrate through the bloodstream and seed secondary tumours elsewhere. Once cancer has spread in this way, it becomes much harder to treat.
By neutralising the enzymes, the peptide also blocks the formation of new blood vessels, which are vital for nourishing tumours. In this way it delivers a double blow to a tumour, stopping its ...

Hi ,
I am currently in Switzerland in a small town outside of Zurich. Am here with my family for a holiday and am currently staying at my wife's aunt's house. The aunt is Swiss and quite elderly. One morning she decided to take my wife and kids to a near by farm to buy some fresh vegetables and flowers for the house. The children were excited and happy.
When they reached there, it was a lovely farm, only thing was that the farmer was not present. Instead, fresh vegetables were…Continue

Clear SEP 12.1.2 client virus definitions on computer running windows 8
i have a computer that is running Windows 8. Installing SEP as managed client (using the package exported from the console).
But SEP did not start; i decided to launch symhelp that tolds me that virus definition are damaged.
This technote is applicable; But not for windows 8? http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO59193
the ability to disable theBASH driver as it said on the technote, but it seems that in windows 8 it's not possibile to make visible hidden drivers.
Somebody had already incontred this issue?
My workaround was to uninstall reinstall SEP but i prefer something from technote if possible.
Comments 7 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Even if defs are corrupted SEP service should be started.
whats the version of sep you are using.
the latest is 12.1.3 try installing this version.New fixes and features in Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.3
Virus definitions don't update
Fix ID: 3075004
Symptom: The virus definitions do not update, but this issue does not appear to be related to a specific update. Restarting the computer may resolve this issue.
Solution: Changed a pre-cleanup process to prevent potential deadlocks.
yes, i correct what i said:
- the first attempt when installed SEP for the first time , SEP did not starts (no icon, no folder in the program files)
- the second attemps was to Reinstall (modifyin the client install settings on the package from silent to show progress):
i downloaded virus definition from symantec site, and installing it, i receive a message saying that the update failed beacauce virus definitio are damaged. At this moment i launched the symhelp.
- The third attempt was uninstalling then reinstalling SEP using the package used in the second attempts
like this is seems to work fine.

Security is arguably the top concern of IT professionals when it comes to employees using their own devices for work.
Which is why the holiday shopping season can be extra-stressful for IT pros tasked with locking down enterprise data assets -- it turns out that workers also are shoppers, and they lose stuff!
A new survey by data-protection vendor Credant Technologies shows that 67% of mobile devices lost at major shopping malls over the past year went missing in the period from Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) through December.
And we're talking a lot of mobile devices -- 5,754 devices total in 15 of the largest 44 malls in the U.S. According to Credant, that's double the number of lost devices from the same survey last year.
Using some napkin math, nearly 12,000 mobile devices were lost in the 44 largest malls during last year's holiday season. And that's just in malls. (I'm looking forward to the data on bars.)
Obviously IT pros can't accompany their work colleagues on holiday shopping expeditions, but now would be a good time for a reminder memo/email/text/tweet about the importance of protecting the organization's data residing on (or accessible via) their personal devices.
That memo might include:
1. A tribute to the benefits of shopping online (where the odds of a device getting lost drop dramatically).
2. A plea to never, ever put down a smartphone or tablet on a table in a mall food court. (According to the survey, 40% of mobile devices left behind in malls were found in food courts.)
3. A reminder of the importance of safeguarding your personal device with a long, unique password.
4. A reminder of the importance of encrypting data. Yes, it's a hassle, you can write to employees, but if they want the convenience of using their own devices for work, they should be willing to take extra steps to secure work-related data.
5. A reminder that if they lose their personal devices, you'll zap it with the "remote kill" service you (should have) installed on the phone.
Credant also reports that a shopper at one mall left behind a chandelier. But that's probably not an IT concern.

We are looking for a Clan that is friendly and are willing to have a bit of fun while also pushing our abilities, do you think you and your boys and girls are up to the challenge?

Looking forward to the games that will ensue. We will accept multiple challenges, just bear in mind this will be a casual match and not count towards any ladder or tournament.
Thank you.

For your Parents
Filigree Lace Jewelry
Citrine Jewelry
Moonstone Jewelry
Blue Lace Agate Jewelry
Crazy Lace Agate Jewery
Hawk's Eye Jewelry
Lace is the traditional AND modern material so definitely a gift with lace in it, or with a lace them, is right on target.
Great ideas for lace would be clothing, accessories like scarves, or a floral arrangement with Queen Anne's lace. Filigree lace jewelry would be a perfect match for the 13th anniversary!
Lingerie can be a really fun and spicy gift for your wife, but do keep in mind that some women have mixed feelings about lingerie. Many love it, and some are ambivalent. A few might even dislike it. It would be impossible for us to tell you which category your wife fits into so our advice is, if you are unsure, play it safe and get lingerie as the second gift rather than a primary gift. If she loves it and wears it often, then you will know for the future!
For the couple, gifts might be decorative tablecloths, curtains, or other lacey home decor.
For jewelry, either go with a lace design in any material or choose a piece with the alternate 13th anniversary modern materials of citrine, moonstone, or hawk's eye. Another option is blue lace agate or crazy lace agate which aren't traditional to the 13th anniversary but are certainly on theme with the lace name. Ultimately it's up to you and what piece you think your wife will most enjoy wearing!
For gifts to give your husband, skip the lace. But you probably already figured that one out! :-) Move right on over to the alternate material textiles and get him a top or other fabric gift with the logo of his favorite sports team, a funny t-shirt, or other clothing.
Fur is another alternate modern material, but please, only choose faux fur! Don't support what is quite often an unregulated, illegal poaching industry in foreign countries. Please only buy products that celebrate the beauty of Earth's creatures...alive!

I went to your website looking for a gift idea for my husband - it's our 13th anniversary... LACE, really??! It was helpful and I'll go to the NFL store, so we'll both be happy.
But I'm sending you this note because I'm really appreciative for your efforts to be kind and cruelty free - with a funny and light touch!! Sometimes the message gets lost. But every time it's reinforced, it's a WIN!

A Baltimore police officer on his way home from work watched as a gunman shot two people, one of them fatally, in a parked car near a major city thoroughfare at the start of yesterday's evening rush hour. Police said the officer shot the suspect after a brief foot chase.
The late afternoon gunfire on Pennsylvania Avenue near Martin Luther King Boulevard was the culmination of two days of violence that included the Thursday shootings of a clerk at a Korean grocery store and the fatal shooting of a 20-year-old man during a dispute over a basketball fee.

Games: Super Mario RPG
Offence: 130 (Normal) 30 (Magic)
Defence: 1 (Normal) 120 (Magic)
Speed: Slow.
Points: 10 Exp.
Items: Royal Syrup, maybe an HP Max in battle.
Attack Pattern: Outside of battle, Ameboid appears as a blue puddle, when approached, it reveals it's self to be Ameboid and attacks. In some areas they hop around the map wildly.
They use Vioroplasm (poison) and Psychoplasm plus some regular attacks in battle. They can also split into four more Ameboids.
Basic Strategies: Jump and fire attacks are strong. Sometimes hitting it will cause it to split into four parts.
Advanced Strategies: Use strong physical attacks (Bowser is good), or Mario's Flame attacks. They can usually only withstand one timed hit.
If an Ameboid splits, all the others will have the same stats that that the original had when it split. So you should be able to destroy them in one or two hits, depending on how much damage you caused the original. When they attack, they wobble their heads back and forth and then make a "kissing" motion. Press A as they "kiss" you to block.

HOW much lead gets eaten along with wild-shot game? Enough to poison regular eaters of some wild birds, thanks to fragments of lead too small to be picked out during a meal.
Debbie Pain of the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust in Slimbridge in Gloucestershire, and colleagues, bought wild-shot birds from supermarkets, game dealers and butchers across the UK. After X-raying them, they cooked them either in wine or cider or a pH-neutral preparation such as a cream sauce. As is traditional with game, only then did they pick out the larger, visible lead fragments.
Subsequent analysis of the deboned, pulverised meat revealed that just over three meals of woodcock in a week would take a 70-kilogram person over the lead-threshold set by United Nations bodies for most farmed animals. Red grouse, partridge and pheasant hit the limit with about 10 meals per week. Wood pigeon and mallard fans ...

you rest it over the biceps area.
the idea behind it is as far as i know, you have some base in case you get a blow on your dword.
it's also a position from which you can stab.
i'd never use it personally.
with japanese swords i played the kendo approach, so both hands, point aiming at opponents throat.
no fancy stuff.
i've also done some iaido but didnt like it too much.
because when you receive a blow, you cannot maneouver as easily.
Furthermore, unless hit by a clubb, anyone should be able to parry a downward strike without using his bodyweight as a factor.
Loved Kendo as a youngster, when I did Aikido. Ended up leaving Aikido and learning swordfighting, from a few "serious" SoCA people and so on...
Still prefer the Katana/bokken to any other weapon.
"Rurouni Kenshin" has worked on me...

Middle States
As the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the body that accredits post-secondary educational institutions in this region, explains: "The accrediting process is intended to strengthen and sustain the quality and integrity of higher education, making it worthy of public confidence and minimizing the scope of external control." Penn College's accreditation by the Middle States Commission serves as a stamp of approval that does a number of things:
- Reflects the institution's commitment to "freedom and quality in higher education and its commitment to striving for and achieving excellence";
- Enables students and employees of the College, alumni and donors, community members and employers to have confidence that the institution uses its resources wisely and fulfills its mission;
- Satisfies essential governmental criteria for students' ability to receive loans and grants;
- Builds students' confidence in the quality and the value of their educations;
- Serves as the foundation for School Programs' applications for accreditation;
- Attests to the fiscal soundness of the institution relative to federal and state government;
- Bolsters the College's ability to compete with other colleges and universities for quality students and employees.
Every ten years, colleges and universities must reapply for accreditation. This decennial evaluation involves an extensive self-study and a visit by a team of external evaluators who will read the College's self-study report; examine documents and other information that serve as evidence of that the College meets the standards (the 14 "Characteristics of Excellence"); speak to students, faculty, staff, and administrators; and, ultimately, make a recommendation about whether to reaccredit the College. The design document for self-study is available for review. (http://www.pct.edu/president/docs/2010Self-StudyDesignDraft.pdf)
To conduct the self-study, five study groups, chaired by individuals who represent a cross-section of the institution, will identify and report evidence of the College's ability to satisfy the standards. Standards that have a common focus have been grouped and then assigned to different study groups.

Corinne Momal-Vanian, Director of the United Nations Information Service in Geneva, chaired the briefing which was also attended by Spokespersons for the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the United Nations Children's Fund, the International Organization for Migration, the International Labour Organization, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and the World Health Organization.
Marixie Mercado for the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said soaring summer temperatures, overcrowding and worsening hygiene were the latest threats facing some four million children affected by the ongoing conflict in Syria.
Without enough safe water and sanitation, the likelihood that children in Syria and those living as refugees around the region will fall sick with diarrhoea and other diseases was certain to rise, she said. In Syria, the availability of safe water was one third what it was before the crisis. Of the more than 4.25 million displaced Syrians, many live in overcrowded shelters with insufficient access to toilets and showers.
In refugee camps like Domiz in Iraq – which hosted many more refugees than planned for it was expected that temperatures would soar into the 40s during the summer period. In Lebanon, multiple families often share small apartments or live in makeshift settlements that lack access to safe water, basic toilets and waste collection. Women and children often have to walk long distances to collect water that in many cases may be unfit for drinking.
As the escalating conflict triggered ever more population movement, UNICEF had accelerated efforts to provide sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene services, reaching almost 9 million people since the beginning of the year. In Syria itself, new generators and repaired systems were keeping water networks and purification plants operational even in areas where heavy fighting had occurred.
In Jordan, UNICEF and partners trucked in more than four million litres of water a day to Za'atari while rehabilitating water infrastructure and networks in nearby towns. Water infrastructure was also being installed in a new refugee camp in Azraq.
In Lebanon, so far this year, UNICEF and partners operating in the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene sector distributed nearly 100,000 hygiene kits, including shampoo, soap and detergent – benefiting more than 430,000 people.
UNICEF needed more than $200 million for its water, sanitation and hygiene programmes in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq until the end of the year. Nearly half way through the year, UNICEF remains $124 million short of this target.
Answering questions she said, the temperature was now in the mid-30s in Zaatari and Domiz, and this was expected to rise into mid-40s at the height of summer. In terms of public health, signs of an increase in cases of acute respiratory illnesses and measles were being monitored. A measles campaign was now underway in Syria, which had reached over a million children. On diarrhoea, she said around 1,200 cases reported which were related to the influx of displaced persons from Qusayr. There was also a small increase in Domiz camp last week, which was not a cause for alarm but was being watched very closely.
On another point, she said that a lot of work had gone into training teachers, young people, youth workers and others to offer psychosocial support.
Gaëlle Sévenier for the International Organization for Migration (IOM) said IOM, with the support of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs / Directorate General for Development Cooperation, had launched a €1.5 million programme to increase the capacity of formal and informal actors to provide psychosocial support to people affected by the crisis in Syria and neighbouring countries.
The project was to initially aim to train some 1,210 professionals and volunteers in Damascus, Rural Damascus, Homs, Aleppo and Lattakia in various aspects of psychosocial support in emergencies. The initiative was to provide basic training to front-line workers, collective shelter managers and carers in orphanages on how to cope with the emotional challenges faced by their beneficiaries and how to avoid causing them any further harm.
Psychosocial support was desperately needed in conflict-affected communities in Syria, she said. Feelings of anger, fear, uncertainty about the future, sadness and disorientation were widespread, particularly among the internally displaced population. Relief professionals, especially those dealing with psychosocial support, lived with the double burden of being affected themselves and exposed to the terrible experiences of others, many of whom were dealing with personal losses, grievances and high levels of anger. Building their capacity and supporting them was vital for the wellbeing of all those affected.
Part of the project was also to distribute some 50,000 self-help booklets, during distributions of food and non-food relief items, to reach a total of 270,000 indirect beneficiaries in remote areas by the end of 2013. The project was to also offer a series of specialized trainings in specialized counselling, art-based psychosocial activities and small-scale conflict management for psychosocial professionals.
Answering questions she said that some cases of scabies among refugees in Lebanon had been reported due to the bad water and sanitation facilities.
Ms. Momal-Vanian answered a question confirming that a new session of the tripartite talks on Syria was to take place next week on 25 June. The United Nations delegation was to be headed by the joint special envoy Mr. Brahimi and it was possible a press conference would follow. If so, interpretation would be available in English, French and Arabic. The schedule and attendance list at the talks was not yet confirmed.
On behalf of the World Food Programme (WFP) Ms. Momal-Vanian said the heads of WFP and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East were on a joint visit this morning to a Bedouin village near Jericho. A press release was available at the back of the room about rising food insecurity among Palestinian households, as one in three now struggled to feed their families due to high food prices and low wages. Broadcast quality footage of the trip was available and the spokespeople of both agencies were available to take questions.
Glenn Thomas for the World Health Organization (WHO) said a meeting being held in Cairo on the MERS-CoV virus was to release a statement after it closed. He added that four new cases had been reported by the Saudi authorities, taking the number of cases worldwide that the WHO was aware of to 68, with 64 of those confirmed, and 38 known deaths.
Answering questions, he said the statement was to be issued as soon as it could be cleared following the close of the meeting tomorrow, and would be mailed to all journalists on the distribution list.
Employment in Greece
Hans von Rohland for the International Labour Organization (ILO) said
together with the European Commission (EC) and the Government of Greece, the International Labour Organization (ILO) was to organize a high-level conference on 25 June in Athens on, "Tackling the jobs crisis in Greece: what ways forward?".
At the conference, the ILO was to present a new study on the Greek labour market, making various policy recommendations to assist the Greek economy in recovering from recession.
At 14.00 a press conference was planned at the Hilton Hotel in Athens with ILO Director-General Guy Ryder, Mr László Andor, EU Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion and Mr Giannis Vroutsis, Minister of Labour, Social Security and Welfare of Greece. A media advisory was to be issued. The conference will conclude with a second press briefing at 19:00 with high-level participants, including the Prime Minister of Greece (to be confirmed), the Greek Minister of Labour and the ILO Director-General.
Elisabeth Throssell for the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said it was of concern that six months on there seemed to be no progress in investigating the supposed forced disappearance of Sombath Somphone, a human rights activist from the Laos People's Democratic Republic. He disappeared as he was driving home from the capital of Vientiane on 15 December 2012. Security camera footage supposedly showed his car being stopped by police and then him being driven away by men in plain clothes. The OHCHR was concerned about his safety, as his whereabouts were unknown and no progress has been seen in identifying the suspected perpetrators. OHCHR urged the Government to intensify measures to locate him and to ensure his prompt, safe return to his family. Sombath Somphone had been recognised worldwide for his work on equitable and sustainable development. Reports suggest that his apparent abduction may be related to this.
Geneva activities
Ms. Momal-Vanian said the Conference on Disarmament met this morning as part its latest session which was to last until next Friday (28 June.)
She said that next week's schedule of World Trade Organization (WTO) meetings, and the agenda of the Director-General were available at the back of the room. Upcoming events included the meeting of the Trade Policy Review Body for Brazil on Monday (24 June) and the public opening of the new WTO Campus next Sunday (30 June).
Jean Rodriguez for the United Nations Economic Commission on Europe (UNECE) said on Wednesday 26 June at 10 a.m. the UNECE was to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Eurasian Economic Commission, represented by its President Viktor Khristenko. This aimed to strengthen cooperation between the Parties on areas such as customs administration, technical regulations, trade, macroeconomic policy, transport and logistics.
Also on Wednesday (26 June) there was a press briefing in Press Room I at 1 p.m. for the presentation of the main issues to be discussed at the regional conference, "Enabling Choices: Population Priorities for the 21st Century," (held 1-2 July in Room XVIII). This was to be a contribution to the debate on the place of population issues in the post-2015 development agenda. Speakers were Werner Haug, UNFPA's Regional Director for Eastern Europe and Central Asia and Vitalija Gaucaite Wittich, Chief, Population Unit, UNECE. All material was under embargo until 1 July, 9:00 a.m. CET.
Finally, he said that UNECE's World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29) was expected to adopt on 27 June a United Nations Global Technical Regulation (UN GTR) governing the safety of hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles. This new UN GTR will represent the first international legislation addressing the safety of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCVs).
Answering questions he said the regulations was to look at how manufacturers needed to look at specific security measures around the use of hydrogen. The security considerations around the presence of high voltages in electric cars were also to be considered.
Glenn Thomas for the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday (24 June) at 2 p.m. in Press Room 1 there was a press conference on the launch of new WHO guidelines and global progress report ahead of the upcoming AIDS Conference in Kuala Lumpur. The details needed to access the website containing the report were to be released today, under embargo until Sunday 6 a.m. Geneva time.
Ms. Momal-Vanian said that on Monday (24 June) at 3 p.m. in Press Room 1 the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) held a press conference for the presentation of the World Investment Report 2013: Global Value Chains: Investment and Trade for Development. This material was under embargo until 26 June at 7 p.m. Geneva time.
Hans von Rohland for the International Labour Organization (ILO) said the ILO's Governing Body was meeting today in a short session. It would elect its President and review the latest report of the Committee on Freedom of Association (CFA).
In its report, the Committee drew the special attention of the Governing Body to the cases of Guatemala, Islamic Republic of Iran and Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The Committee's procedures define serious and urgent cases as those involving human life or personal freedom, or new or changing conditions affecting the freedom of action of a trade union movement as a whole.
Hans von Rohland for the International Labour Organization (ILO) said his colleague Jean-Luc Martinage will serve as ILO press officer in Dhaka, Bangladesh for a month. The ILO actually discusses an action plan with the Government to reform labour law, strengthen social dialogue and ensure workplace safety in the textile industry. Mr. Martinage was available to take questions on this from the field.
The representatives of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, the United Nations Refugee Agency and the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs also attended the briefing but did not speak.

Summer Institute: Global Mental Health & Psychosocial Support
Resilience Training for Journalists & Aid Workers
Training: Mindfulness for Journalists
A resource for journalists who cover violence
Journalists frequently bear witness to human suffering whether covering mass disasters or individual atrocities; however, little is known regarding the impact of such exposure on the well-being of journalists. Researchers in the field of traumatic stress are only beginning to examine the toll this line of work may have on the health of journalists. This fact sheet reviews the extant research regarding the types of events journalists are exposed to, the impact of covering these events, and the factors that may place journalists at risk for psychological distress.
The majority of journalists witness traumatic events in their line of work:
Most journalists exhibit resilience despite repeated exposure to work-related traumatic events. This is evidenced by low rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other psychiatric disorders.
A significant minority, however, are at risk for long-term psychological problems, including PTSD, depression, and substance abuse:
Feinstein et al., 2003
160 war correspondents
Teegen & Grotwinkel, 2001
61 U.S. & European journalists
Weidmann et al., 2008
61 European TV, radio, print journalists covering the 2004 Tsunami
Smith, R. 2008
167 U.S. print & TV journalists
Newman et al., 2003
875 U.S. photojournalists
Taken together, these studies suggest that journalists are at risk for exposure to work-related traumatic events. Further, some journalists exposed to these events appear vulnerable to the development of PTSD and other psychiatric symptoms. This is particularly true of war correspondents. The identification of risk factors in the current line of research indicates several ways in which news organizations can be involved in reducing occupational risk. Efforts to increase organizational support for those who cover traumatic events appears warranted. This may include educating journalists about the psychological risks involved in their work, decreasing the frequency and intensity of exposure to traumatic news assignments, and providing appropriate resources for coping with the emotional toll of these assignments. As the news room culture shifts towards increasing organizational support and decreasing organizational stressors, the likely result is reduced risk of harm, as well as greater work satisfaction and productivity among journalists.

Implementing Java and .NET in Linux
In today's heterogeneous environments, it is hard to escape the influence of Java and .NET. So why not come prepared? This month we examine some tools and techniques for integrating the Java and .NET frameworks with Linux.
As Linux expands across the enterprise, Linux systems must adapt to compete in unfamiliar environments. The course of this evolution draws Linux ever closer to the realms of Java and .NET.
Linux has a long history with Java. Several open source projects began soon after the appearance of the first Java standard, and now that many of Sun's own Java tools are released under open source licenses, the path to full compliance is open to any Linux user or distro builder.
The more recent .NET framework is still fairly new to the Linux world, and many would say that Linux still hasn't come to equilibrium with the forces of .NET. Many Linux developers are wary of all .NET technology, which is not surprising, considering the framework is, ultimately, a creature of Microsoft's business strategy.
Several components of .NET, including C# and the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI), are released under open standards, which makes it fairly painless to develop tools around them. However, other parts of the .NET infrastructure are still under the influence of Microsoft patents and proprietary licensing. Although Microsoft would love to see their technology adopted in spite of legal misgivings, this complex arrangement has led to vigorous debates among open source developers.
This month we visit the two best-known projects bringing .NET to Linux. We start with DotGNU, a community-based project with a small team of volunteer developers. Then we tune in on the Mono project, a larger and better-funded effort to deliver a nearly complete implementation of .NET. We show you how to use Mono's mod_mono Apache module to support ASP.NET web pages in Linux.
On the Java side, we begin with a roundup of the various Java Virtual Machine tools available for the Linux environment, and we finish with a study in how to use the open source Hyperic HQ monitoring tool to monitor the performance of a Java application server.
Read on for more about the state of Java and .NET in Linux.

Understanding the Impact of Variation in the Delivery of Healthcare Services
Charles E. Noon, Charles T. Hankins, and Murray J. Cote
In the past
several years, healthcare providers have coped with the financial aspects
managed care and the resultant constraints on revenue. In fact, working
with decreasing margins of return has become routine for many providers.
Beyond straightforward cost cutting, providers must also consider a variety
of other operational factors to achieve success. To this end, higher patient
satisfaction and improved utilization and efficiency of resources are
natural objectives. Ironically, fundamental to the pursuit of better operations
management is the fact that the delivery of healthcare services can vary
between and among patients, providers, and organizations for many reasons.
Unfortunately, such variation may be overlooked or trivialized if the
phenomenon is not well understood by healthcare managers. Knowing how
variation affects the delivery of services creates opportunities for focused
The Perils of Healthcare Workforce Forecasting: A Case Study of the Philadelphia
Metropolitan Area, David Barton Smith and William Aaronson
In 1996,
a widely circulated and influential forecast for the Philadelphia Metropolitan
Area stated that a decline in hospital and healthcare employment in the
region would occur over the next five years. It also suggested that this
decline would exacerbate the problem of an oversupply of nurses seeking
hospital employment. The forecast reflected a regional leadership and
expert consensus on the impact of the managed care transformation on workforce
needs and was supported by short-term statistical trends in regional utilization
and employment. Confounding these predictions was that hospital and healthcare
employment actually grew. By the end of 2001, hospitals in the region
were experiencing problems in recruiting sufficient nurses, pharmacists,
and technicians. The forecast failed to anticipate the impact of a strong
regional economy on supply and underestimated the resilience of underlying
forces that have driven the long-term growth in healthcare workforce demand.
More effective ongoing monitoring can help moderate the fluctuation of
workforce shortages and surpluses.
Relationship-Centered Administration: Transferring Effective Communication
Skills from the Exam Room to the Conference Room, Kim Marvel, Austin Bailey,
Carol Pfaffly, William Gunn, and Howard Beckman
Medical researchers
have shown that relationship-centered healthcare increases patient satisfaction
and improves health outcomes. The components of relationship-centered
healthcare-listening, sharing decision making, and respecting others-improve
patient motivation and commitment to a plan of action. Currently, no data
are available on the extent to which medical administrative settings adhere
to relationship-centered principles. To begin to answer this question,
we observed a convenience sample of 45 meetings in healthcare settings
to assess the frequency and types of relationship-centered behaviors shown
by group leaders. Our results provide preliminary data that leaders, especially
female leaders, praised the value of group member efforts and encouraged
members to provide input. Less frequently employed relationship-centered
behaviors included providing a verbal summary of a discussion, responding
to feelings expressed by members, and setting explicit agendas. Finally,
we found some provocative associations. Female leaders received higher
satisfaction ratings, and male leaders were more verbally dominant. Similar
to physician-patient interaction, new topics for discussion are less likely
to arise spontaneously late in a meeting if early agenda-setting is utilized.
To our knowledge, this is the first such study in a medical setting. Our
findings encourage those who chair meetings to reflect on the extent to
which they use a collaborative approach and offers specific content areas
on which to focus. Further research on the concept and outcomes of relationship-centered
administrative approach is warranted.

Joined: Dec 2010
Location: butler, ky/Franklin, tn
Oddometer: 842
When I did it, I took off about 5 in the morning and got back around 11 at night....18 hrs. Mine was a lap of Kentucky, with a little bit of WV added to get the required mileage. Since I took off before the sun was up, I headed east for a little bit, then went south at Charleston, WV. By the time the sun was up, I was heading west for the other end of Ky....it is a very loooong state. Was about 6 by the time I headed back east, so sun was on my back while setting. Summer sun in your eyes for hours on end is not fun, so I suggest setting your time/course to avoid that. I used primarily Ky parkways, which are 3-4 land highways with 65-70 mph speed limits, and tried to avoid expressway as much as possible. Did mine over Labor Day Weekend, on a Sunday, to avoid traffic as much as possible and give myself a day of rest before and after. I had plenty of time to take longer rest/gas stops as I wanted. Stopped a cople of times just to stretch and rehydrate. Stopped for 30 minutes for a meal mid-day. It was an EASY ride.
I also did a 850 mile ride as a charity fundraiser, 2 years ago. Took me just about the same time, but it was all 2 lane roads for the first 750 miles. I made it s point in that ride to make sure I enjoyed all the roads I was on, so I went down through eastern Kentucky, crossed over extreme western Virginia, and did a bit of eastern Tennessee, before heading back up through the Danial Boone national forest area of south central Kentucky. I was very tired by the end of this ride, but I found some really really great roads that I had never been on before. I could have stretched it out to a SS1000, but since I had already done one I didnt see the point. I was tired and just wanted to get home...LOL.
Since your starting point is Charleston SC, you have several choices on how to set up your route for an enjoyable ride. Personally, if you are just going after a SS1000, I would suggest a circular route. However, if you want to do it as part of a trip, then pick a destination and head for it...Key West? Texas? Maine? Just remember...if you do 1000 miles out...you still have to do at least that to get back....

There's nothing like a fancy fete to bring out the famous folks, and last night (May 7) NYLON magazine and BCBGeneration hosted the Annual Young Hollywood Issue Party at HYDE Sunset: Kitchen + Cocktails in West Hollywood.
May 2015 cover girl Dakota Fanning was the woman of the evening, strutting around the event and mingling with fellow attendees Victoria Justice and her younger sister Madison Justice.
If 2014 was all about the 1960s, the 1970s are all the rage this year, and Dakota Fanning is all decked out as a classic rock goddess on the May 2015 cover of NYLON magazine.
She recently celebrated her 21st birthday in Las Vegas, and Dakota Fanning definitely looked like a fully-fledged woman at the premiere of her new film "Effie Gray" last night (March 30).
The "I Am Sam" actress showed up at The Paris Theatre in New York City for the shindig, showing off her curves in a lovely grey satin dress as she hobnobbed with fellow guests.
Teaming up for a variety of fabulous front pages, Dakota Fanning and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley are among the lovely ladies chosen for the cover of VS magazine's Spring/Summer 2015 edition.
Stepping out for an evening of sport, Dakota Fanning took her dad Stephen Fanning to the New York Knicks vs Miami Heat basketball game at Madison Square Garden in New York City last night (November 30).
The "Runaways" babe couldn't stop laughing as she chatted with her handsome papa while enjoying their primo courtside seats.
Though she usually tends toward a more conservative aesthetic, Dakota Fanning surprised spectators with her sartorial selection for the 2014 Accessories Council ACE Awards in New York City last night (November 3).
Joined by Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler, the "Runaways" starlet donned a see-through dress that showed off her bra and underwear as she posed outside Cipriani 42nd Street restaurant.
Taking care of her to-do list, Dakota Fanning went for a stroll in New York City's SoHo neighborhood on Monday afternoon (October 27).
Always beautiful, the "I Am Sam" actress kept it cool and casual in a black sweater with cuffed jeans and white sneakers as she toted her lovely lavender handbag up the street.
Showing off an impressive new collection of athletic-inspired apparel, Alexander Wang unveiled his H&M range in Washington Heights, New York City last night (October 16).

Obama Lies- Even about Sports
After his girl pitch yesterday Obama was asked Who's one of your Favorite White Socks Players Growing up?
His response:
You know ah, I I thought that ah, you know.
The truth be told is that a lot of the cubs I like too. Um but, uh, I didn't become a Sox Fan Until I moved to Chicago. Because I ah, you know I was growing up in Hawaii so I ended up actually being an Oakland A's fan.
He goes on to talk and talk hoping that the announcer forgets that he had ever asked the question and that Obama couldn't even name a player because he never really was a fan. He was to busy hanging out with his radical friends to ever care about an American sport like Baseball.

Kenneth Frampton
Kenneth Frampton (born 1930, Woking, UK), is a British architect, critic, historian and the Ware Professor of Architecture at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation at Columbia University, New York.
Frampton studied architecture at Guildford School of Art and the Architectural Association School of Architecture, London. Subsequently he worked in Israel, with Middlesex County Council and Douglas Stephen and Partners (1961–66), during which time he was also a visiting tutor at the Royal College of Art (1961–64), tutor at the Architectural Association (1961–63) and Technical Editor of the journal Architectural Design (AD) (1962–65).
Frampton has also taught at Princeton University (1966–71) and the Bartlett School of Architecture, London, (1980). He has been a member of the faculty at Columbia University since 1972, and that same year he became a fellow of the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in New York -- (whose members also included Peter Eisenman, Manfredo Tafuri and Rem Koolhaas) -- and a co-founding editor of its magazine Oppositions.
Frampton is a permanent resident of the USA.
Frampton is well known for his writing on twentieth-century architecture. His books include Modern Architecture: A Critical History (1980; revised 1985, 1992 and 2007) and Studies in Tectonic Culture (1995). Frampton achieved great prominence (and influence) in architectural education with his essay "Towards a Critical Regionalism" (1983) — though the term had already been coined by Alexander Tzonis and Liane Lefaivre. Also, Frampton's essay was included in a book The Anti-Aesthetic. Essays on Postmodern Culture, edited by Hal Foster, though Frampton is critical of postmodernism. Frampton's own position attempts to defend a version of modernism that looks to either critical regionalism or a 'momentary' understanding of the autonomy of architectural practice in terms of its own concerns with form and tectonics which cannot be reduced to economics (whilst conversely retaining a Leftist viewpoint regarding the social responsibility of architecture).
In 2002 a collection of Frampton's writings over a period of 35 years was collated and published under the title Labour, Work and Architecture.
In 2006, he wrote the introduction to a book about the Flemish architect Georges Baines (b 1925).

How to remove the odor of marijuana smoke
July 6, 2009 by admin
Filed under Frequently Asked Questions, How To
Here is a simple technique to use the next time you have to go somewhere where the smell of your marijuana smoke might get you into trouble. As a medical marijuana user, sometimes I need to medicate where the smell can be an issue. This is my solution. You will need:
-Cardboard paper towel roll
-2 dryer sheets (I use Bounce. Don't ask me why.)
Stuff the dryer sheets into the paper towl roll and exhale your tokes through the device. The smell of the smoke will be changed from acrid to a fresh clean laundry scent!
