Conservation groups condemn 'open and organized plundering' of Madagascar's natural resourcesJeremy Hance
March 30, 2009
31-Mar update
Taking advantage of the turmoil after interim president Andry Rajoelina took control of the country in a bloodless coup from former president Marc Ravalomanana on March 17th, pristine forests have been plundered for valuable wood, wildlife trafficking has increased, and illegal mining operations have begun say the conservation organizations.

"[They] have arrived in local towns seeking to take advantage of the political crisis that has weakened park protection and enforcement," the source said. "This is the worst, by far, that has happened to [Marojejy] park in recent years. The situation is worse than desperate."
The lawlessness of the situation is confirmed by the conservation organizations who write that the logging is done with "open and organized plundering, sometimes using firearms, of precious wood from several natural forests, including national parks such as Marojejy and Masoala."
The chaos has put a halt to Madagascar's tourism industry—one of the impoverished nations most important growth industries. Valued at $400-million-dollars-a-year the industry could be hurt for years to come, especially if its natural treasures are devastated.
As originally reported by Andy Revkin of the New York Times and Sobika.com, an online news source for Madagascar, the statement from the environmental organizations reads:
The Trees Must Not Hide the Forest: the Loss of Malagasy Heritage
During the last 20 years, Madagascar has undertaken significant and exemplary efforts to stop environmental degradation, effectively manage natural resources and preserve its unique biodiversity in the pursuit of sustainable development.
Beyond their inherent value, these natural riches –- which are a source of national pride -– also guarantee the benefits and services that are essential to the daily lives of the rural majority of the population, providing them among other things with water, food and energy. These natural resources also guarantee the development of the agriculture, fisheries and tourism sectors.

– Open and organized plundering, sometimes using firearms, of precious wood from several natural forests, including national parks such as Marojejy and Masoala, which have been declared World Heritage Sites.
– Intensified smuggling of wild species, especially reptiles such as tortoises, to the national and international markets.
– Proliferation, due to the current impunity, of destructive practices such as illegal mining and slash-and-burn agriculture within protected areas and environmentally sensitive areas.
These deplorable acts will only further impoverish the country and deprive future generations of the Malagasy people from their unique natural heritage.
This situation once again compromises the efforts that have been achieved up until now to help local communities to preserve their resources from individuals attempting to plunder the national heritage for their own short term benefits.
We hereby call upon the competent authorities and all Malagasy citizens to urgently take action to stop and punish such acts so that natural resources are no longer held hostage to political crises and post-cyclone emergencies.
Through this appeal, we confirm our commitment to work for the biodiversity of Madagascar and for the well-being of the local communities, who are the stewards of this natural heritage. We invite each citizen to recognize that the sustainability of the development of the country depends upon its natural resources and we call on every individual to take responsibility.

Conservation in Madagascar is highly dependent on income from tourism. Half of park entrance fees are returned to communities living in and around protected areas. Without this source of income, locals in some areas may turn to conservation areas for timber, fuelwood, agricultural land, and wildlife as food and for export.

Importing a Region Into SimCity 4These instructions are designed for importing the premade Future City region into your SimCity 4. However, if you need to import any other regions, such as a region that was saved from another computer, this method will also work.
- Open the .zip file that you downloaded from the Future City website. It does not matter
where you have saved it. A folder will appear in your Explorer window called "Medium
City", "Small City", or "Large City" depending on the size you downloaded.
If your computer prompts you to extract the contents of the file instead, extract to the
My Documents/SimCity 4/Regions folder (Documents/SimCity 4/Regions on an Apple computer). Then you may proceed to step 5.
- Right click on the folder (hold down CTRL and click on an Apple computer) and select
- Navigate to your My Documents/SimCity 4/Regions folder (Documents/SimCity 4/Regions on an Apple computer). You should see several other folders already in the Regions folder.
- Right click (or CTRL click on an Apple) on an open area in the My Documents/SimCity
4/Regions folder and select "Paste".
The folder will be copied into the Regions folder. The region will now appear in SimCity 4!
- To access the region, you will have to load it. From the main SimCity 4 screen, select
the leftmost button from the top menu. Then click the Load Region button (the file
folder icon) and select the new region from the list.
- The region will now be loaded and is ready to be used.

Just append "/tweber/socialmedia" to your search terms when using Blekko.
Random House lawyers were not so convinced and told him to append a complete list of citations at the back of the book.
late 14c., "to belong to as a possession or right," from Old French apendre (13c.) belong, be dependent (on); attach (oneself) to; hang, hang up," and directly from Latin appendere "to cause to hang (from something), weigh," from ad- "to" (see ad-) + pendere "hang" (see pendant).
Meaning "to hang on, attach as a pendant" is 1640s; that of "attach as an appendix" is recorded by 1843. OED says the original word was obsolete by c.1500, and these later transitive senses represent a reborrowing from Latin or French. Related: Appended; appending.

From: Jay Scherrer
Subject: [OS:N:] IP indemnification
Just coming from an eye opening discussion at GSLUG covering the still
threatening legal issues concerning Open source software and Linux. I
got what I call a "Bulletin".
I had just gotten home and checked my US mail. Microsoft had sent me a
copy of their indemnification policy. Probably other persons on this
list have received one also. My question as a struggling open software
consultant, how do we counteract with this type of negative
advertisement against Open source software.
Below are snippets of the enclosed letter titled: Insufficient
intellectual property rights could be putting your company at risk.
As you may be aware, end-user customers can be sued for their
"unauthorized" use of intellectual property (IP) rights contained in
software and operating systems products.
Then the letter goes on to discus Open Source Software:
"Discuss this issue with your IT staff to see if your company has
deployed "Open Source" software. Open Source software vendors provide
no , or very limited , IP indemnification. Deploying open source
software that your organization downloads or copies free of charge
typically means your organization receives no indemnification at all."
The letter then points to a links at www.getthefacts.com/report and
Included with this is a brief document explaining Microsoft's commitment
to the end user.

Kristen Bell returns as 'Veronica Mars' — thanks to fansContinue reading.
Sasha Pieterse returns as Ali on 'Pretty Little Liars'
Sasha Pieterse, the young actress who plays the wicked and deceptive Alison DiLaurentis on the ABC Family hit "Pretty Little Liars" returns with the rest of her castmates for the fifth season's premiere Tuesday night. I caught up with Pieterse Monday morning to chat about her character and how it's caught on with audiences around the world.
Q: What is your reaction to the fact "Pretty Little Liars" has become such a phenomenon and so popular with its audience?
A: We all are completely shocked. We had no idea, when we started this, that it was going to be such a hit. We just feel very blessed, and also glad that we all still really love each other after working on the show for all this time. There are so many girls in our cast, it really is incredible that we do all get along as well as we do.
Q: Do you think that's particularly amazing, considering the back-stabbing and all the intrigue and drama your characters have to portray? I know you're actresses, but it's nice you haven't taken on the attributes of your characters, right?
A: That's true! It would be terrible if we did, wouldn't it?
Q: Why do you think the show has connected with the audience?
A: I think part of it is due to social media. Because it's a great way for the show and for us to connect with our fans all over the world. The audience is made up of a lot of little investigators and they are always looking for the little hints that we drop on social media about things coming up. They will continually go back and re-watch episodes and then go find other episodes that tie-into various storylines and then they will communicate with each other via social media to discuss. That all has been important to building and expanding the fan base.
Q: Now that you have played your character Alison DiLaurentis for so long, do you make suggestions to the show's writers on things she should say or do in upcoming episodes?
A: The are totally receptive to that. We all — all the cast members — give them suggestions and they're great about that. We may come across a line in a script and we'll say, 'I think we should say this or that' and they've very cool with it. But frankly, they have gotten to know us all so well, they really write our characters very closely to what they think will work for us. They know us so well. That's happened from the beginning.
Q: What do you enjoy most about playing Ali?
A: Honestly, it's a lot of fun to play a mean girl. There's something ridiculous fun about it. Everybody knows a girl like her — maybe not quite so exaggerated, of course — but that basic conniving kind of girl. In addition, Alison [her character] has caused so many ups and downs on the show and affected the lives of all the other characters — so that's great to be a part of.

F1 champ Button teams up with Hamilton at McLaren
While Button's McLaren will be adorned with No. 1, Hamilton, who won the 2008 championship, has been nurtured by McLaren for a decade since he was in karting.
Whitmarsh, who had to quell infighting between Hamilton and Fernando Alonso during the 2007 season, has no concerns about the partnership with Button.
"I'm confident that we'll be able to successfully balance and harness Jenson's and Lewis' complementary skill sets," he said. "Our engineers are already looking forward to working with Jenson, and I'm convinced that such a strong and dynamic driver lineup will make us an even more complete and competitive operation.
"Now we have to provide Jenson and Lewis with race-winning machinery."
Hamilton had a difficult third season in Formula One with McLaren but had a strong last half of the year to finish fifth – 46 points behind Button.
"The results from the second half of 2009 speak for themselves, and I'm convinced we can carry that momentum through the winter and into the new season," Hamilton said. "I've been closely following the development of our 2010 challenger, the MP4-25, and I think it's going to be a state-of-the-art car that will enable both of us to consistently fight for victories."

Logan Reed appeared in Lincoln County District Court Monday for sentencing on two felony drug charges for possession of a controlled substance and intent to deliver.
Officers went looking for Welch after Welch failed to take care of a speeding ticket. They found marijuana and paraphernalia in the house, including pipes and bongs, digital scales and packaging material.
They later learned that Reed was also involved in the marijuana operation.
Harling told Lincoln County District Court Judge Richard Birch that Reed was enrolling in drug court. Based on that, Birch deferred sentencing pending completion of drug court.
Austin Welch, 20, was convicted of a reduced charge of attempted possession of marijuana with intent to deliver.
Defense attorney Russ Jones said his client would not contest the reduced charge.
Per the agreement, Welch waived his right to a pre-sentence investigation.
Birch sentenced him to 180 days in jail, plus court costs, giving him credit for 20 days served. Jones asked that Welch be allowed time to finish some personal business before reporting to jail.
Rowlands told him to report at 9 a.m. on June 30.

Mount Airy Breaks Ground On $5 Million Indoor/ Outdoor Swimming Pool
Pocono casino and resort begins construction on luxury amenity
MOUNT POCONO, Pensilvania — March 7, 2013. Officials at Mount Airy Casino Resort – Pennsylvania's only AAA Four Diamond-rated casino – today announced that they have broken ground on the $5 million luxury indoor/ outdoor pool swimming pool project.
"We are excited to move forward with this highly anticipated project that we are sure will create the sense of a lavish oasis year round, " said John Culetsu, Mount Airy's Executive Vice President and General Manager. "Besides adding another jewel to our existing crown of resort amenities such as our spa, golf course and fine dining options, this spectacular enhancement will also create jobs."
Building the indoor/ outdoor pool will provide between 75 a 100 construction-related jobs, according to CECO Associates, the project's contracted engineering firm. Once completed, the pool area will employ approximately 20 additional full-time Mount Airy employees including but not limited to food and beverage servers, maintenance workers and entertainment personnel.
"This $5 million pool project goes well beyond a pool," Culetsu pointed out.
In addition to the 11,000 square foot, four season pool that features a passage allowing guests to swim continuously from indoors to outdoors, highlights of the 52,000 square-foot project include: a sophisticated poolside bar and lounge area offering an assortment of light dining as well as after-dark entertainment options; Private luxury cabanas replete with day beds and television sets; A heated spa conjoining the pool and an assortment of water features and sculptures; A 5,600 square foot outdoor deck area with table-side fire pits and expansive views of the resort's lake and golf course. The complex will be called "Get Wet."
"The finishes in the pool area will be an extension of the contemporary yet elegant details that already encompass the hotel, casino and spa," explained Lisa DeNaples, Mount Airy owner and managing trustee. "The space will not only reflect the high-end building materials and design elements we've utilized throughout the resort; it will also provide guests an energizing transformation as they exit the cool tranquility of the spa area and enter into this exciting new indoor/outdoor addition."

The same pathway that has put many in the seat of a new car — the lease — is taking off as a financial vehicle for homeowners who don't have tens of thousands of dollars sitting around to buy a rooftop solar-panel system outright.
And in Connecticut, a mixture of subsidies, high energy prices and ingenuity has made for fertile ground for the sales model that is attracting interest from investors and homeowners. At least 1,350 residences in the state are leasing solar-power system, with plans for thousands more. And the capital is flowing in to private firms as well as the state's clean energy office to support the programs.
It works like this. A solar company that offers a lease option — like SolarCity and SunGevity — comes to your house to determine whether a solar array would work on your roof. If it's suitable, depending on the company, you can choose either to pay zero upfront and a regular lease fee each month, or you can pay some money up front and have lower or no monthly lease fees.
A rooftop solar system from SolarCity, for example, that's guaranteed to produce a little more than 6,000 kilowatt hours annually would cost $63 a month with nothing up front. The payment is set to increase 2.9 percent annually, which the company says is lower than average price increases from the utilities.
Putting some money down on the system, say $2,500, lowers the monthly payment to $53 and erases the yearly percent increase. The last option would be to pay the lease upfront, which costs $7,920 and results in no monthly payments for all 20 years of the lease.
While the solar company handles installation, does maintenance and ensures the system's productivity, it also collects the subsidies and tax credits that the state and federal government give to people willing to invest in the renewable energy.
The solar company, not you, owns the equipment — just like car dealership owns a leased car. And so in many cases, when it comes time for routine maintenance or repairs, the company is responsible. When the lease ends, you have the option of buying the system, renewing the lease or having it removed. If you move out, the solar systems also can be transferred to a new owner.
SolarCity, a California solar outfit that has offered solar leases in Connecticut since 2011, has signed more than 350 leases in the state and more than 40,000 countrywide. The company's chairman, Elon Musk, is the CEO of electric car company Tesla Motors and spacecraft firm Space-X.
This week, Goldman Sachs said it would put up $500 million in financing for SolarCity leases, a chunk of the $40 billion the investment bank plans to set aside for renewable projects in the next decade.
"The ability to get in front of homeowners is kind of the biggest hurdle," said Lee Keshishian, SolarCity's head of operations for the East Coast. "Once we get there, the vast majority decide to go with us."
On the money and billing side, with the leased system, homeowners will now get two bills a month — one for the lease payment and the usual electric bill from the utility — and the savings from the system comes when the total of those two bills is lower than previous energy bills.
Keshishian said that, as a result, most customers see a 10 percent to 20 percent drop in their energy bills. And SolarCity, as well as other companies, also ensure the system's productivity for the entire 20-year lease.
Hands-Off Solar
Jay Pelchar, a high school math teacher who lives in Burlington, went with SolarCity after wading into the complicated world of solar systems. He researched the tax credits, the subsidies, took a step back and sought help.
"The learning curve on this is enormous," said Pelchar, 45.
An intermediary company, One Block Off the Grid, hooked him up with SolarCity. During a conference call last summer, Pelchar heard his options and agreed to lease a solar system.
"Without the leasing option, we would not have solar," he said. "No question, I would not be able to purchase a system for myself."
He took to option of putting up money for the system — about $8,000, which covers all of his lease payments. This way, SolarCity still handles the maintenance and repairs of the 20 solar panels that sit on a steep south-facing portion of his roof.
The process from "yes" to solar power coming down from above took just a few months. SolarCity did a site visit to inspect his house, making sure that it didn't have anything blocking the sun and that its roof was structurally sound. They later came back and did a home energy evaluation. By the first of the year, the system was up and running, with little effort from Pelchar.
"I never filled out a form for a rebate or tax credit," he said.

******Alert #283******
About ten days ago, Task Force members Margrita Harrison and Dorothy Strickland with the Attorney Generals Tel-Fraud Unit began to receive reports from consumers about alarming phone calls from persons claiming to be tech support specialists with Microsoft. The Attorney General issued the following warning on Friday when it became clear that the calls were persisting and that similar calls had plagued consumers in other English-speaking countries recently.
Need tech support? Beware of the latest telemarketing scam, warns AG Cooper
Scammers posing as Microsoft tech support attempt to steal your information, money
Raleigh: North Carolina consumers have reported getting calls from phony tech support specialists who are out to access their personal information and steal their hard-earned money, Attorney General Roy Cooper warned today.
Be suspicious of anyone who calls out of the blue offering to fix a problem with your computer, Cooper said. If you need assistance with your computer, seek out real help rather than responding to these calls.
More than a dozen North Carolinians have called Coopers Consumer Protection Division in the last two weeks to report suspicious calls from phony tech support specialists claiming to be partners with Microsoft or Windows.
According to reports from consumers, the phony tech specialist claims that the consumers computer has a virus and that they can fix the problem. The caller then directs the consumer to take a series of steps, supposedly to get rid of the computer virus. Some consumers are asked to locate "Computer Options" on their computer, go to www.windowsonlinesupport.com, scroll down the page and run a scan on their computer.
Following the steps actually gives the phony tech specialist access to all of the data stored on the consumers computer. At this point, the scammer may demand payment for installing security software.
Consumers report that the callers have South Asian accents and are calling from a call center with a lot of background noise. Most consumers hang up rather than completing the steps, but the tech support scammers often call back.
The calls seem to target seniors and other consumers who may not be as technologically savvy.
If you receive one of these phony tech support calls, keep the following tips in mind:
If youve fallen victim to this or a similar scam:
Consumers who have questions or may have fallen victim to this scam should contact Coopers Consumer Protection Division. Call 1-877-5-NO-SCAM or file a consumer complaint online at www.ncdoj.gov.

Efforts to inform pre-health-career advisors of opportunities in health professions and entrance and admissions requirements;
Educational enrichment programs aimed at URM and educationally disadvantaged students, which typically expose high school and college-level students to health professions education curriculums and to the programs and services of health professions schools; and
Partnerships between majority- and historically minority-serving institutions, to foster student exchanges and encourage URM students to pursue further study in health professions.
Several examples of these recruitment efforts are highlighted in published literature (see Boxes 5-3 and 5-4). Few of these programs, however, have been evaluated to determine their effectiveness and/or which components of recruitment efforts are most useful.
Recruitment, admission, and matriculation of URM students represent only the first steps for health professions training programs to ensure successful educational experiences for URM students. While data are not uniformly available for all health professions, URM medical students experience higher rates of academic failure, withdrawal, and lower graduation rates than non-URM medical students (Rainey, 2001), trends that are also likely to occur in dentistry, nursing, and psychology training programs.
This pattern of poorer success in health professions training settings is likely the result of many factors. As noted earlier in this report, because of inequitable educational opportunities, URM students often receive an inferior academic preparation in K-12 and college relative to non-URM students. URM students also face greater financial challenges than non-URM students, particularly in the face of rising tuition costs at almost all public and private universities. The dearth of URM faculty results in fewer opportunities for URM students to obtain mentoring from individuals who are most familiar with the cultural and economic background of these students (Rainey, 2001). Incidents of racial discrimination and unfair treatment on the basis of race and ethnicity are, unfortunately, not rare events for health professions students (e.g., more than one in seven medical students who reported being mistreated also reported being subjected to racially or ethically offensive remarks; AAMC, 2000). Furthermore, URM students typically report higher levels of alienation from the campus environment and may not find appropriate social supports to counter these feelings.
A growing number of HPEIs are developing comprehensive strategies to improve retention among URM students, with a range of programs that may include intervention efforts to increase academic preparation,

interviewBy Yaya Bajo
SOROPTMIST International of Banjul on Tuesday 29TH January walked into the office of GFD with some crutches and wheelchairs as their contribution to promoting the welfare of persons with disabilities in the Gambia and after the donation the advocacy volunteer of GFD Mr. Musa Jobateh decided to conduct some interviews with the President of SOROPTMIST and Mrs. Ndella Faye Colley and her companions
Musa: Good afternoon Madam. My name is Musa Jobateh, GFD Advocacy and Awareness Volunteer. May you kindly introduce yourself?
Ndella: Yes, good afternoon Musa. My name is Ndella Faye Colley and I am the president of SOROPTMIST International, Banjul.
Musa: Can you go further to highlight the objectives of SOROPTMIST International?
Ndella: SOROPTMIST as you and others may know is a women's organisation whose objective and vision is to empower and create opportunities for women and girls all over the world. It is an international organisation and the Gambia has a local chapter which we belong to. Our objective is really to improve the lives of women and looking at the issues that affect them in the areas of education, health, and agriculture and income livelihood. We work with women in communities to support them in their livelihood. We also have girls that we support in schools, and we also work with some health facilities to improve the qualities of services provided by those institutions.
Musa: I just saw you walked into GFD with some materials for disability support and I know GFD must have been identified earlier. What are the criteria that you look at which led you to identify GFD among the lot of other organisations?
Ndella: Like I have said earlier, our objective is to support and improve the lives of women and girls, but women are also in the disability community. Globally we have activities that we organize. We get them involved and we also have a relationship with our sister SOROPTMIST that come from other countries. For example, we have a sister from the UK, who has come to the Gambia with some items and we work together to make sure that the items reach the right people. The disability community is one of the targets because they are also one of the most of the disadvantaged in the community. Amongst this donation we have crutches and some of the walking sticks that we are giving, could have gone to many places but we feel that GFD, which is the federation of the disabled, is the right place to come, so that they can give it the right people who are members of their organisations, be it from the head office or sister members of Disabled People's Organisations that belong to GFD. So these are some of the reasons why we choose GFD and we are very sure that people in the community who need these items should be able to access them, because they are situated in parts of the country where we may not be able to reach, so working with GFD will really add value to make sure that these items are able to reach the right people in the community.
Musa: This is just the beginning. How far do you intend to go with GFD with this partnership and how would you rate these donations to the daily lives of people in the disability community?
Ndella: This is not the first time that we have worked with Persons with Disabilities. We had some sensitization activities in the past, where we invited People with Disabilities to participate. This time, we are bringing items to them and these technical aids are usually needed by people with physical disabilities. We know that they would able to use these aids to facilitate their mobility because from experience with working with persons with disabilities when I was working with VSO, technical aid for mobility was one of the main challenges faced by persons with disability in the Gambia. Some of these people are very far from where the technical aids are available, but even those facilities who have them, they are not always in abundance for people to use them, so giving them to GFD will be able to help bridge accessibility barriers. GFD is a membership organisation with Disabled People Organisations as their members, so you don't need to go and scout for people who need these aids as I am sure you have the demand from People with Disabilities, both here and upcountry. We had the feeling that if we brought them here, they will reach the target, which will be able to use them and facilitate their movement from their households to the communities so they will be able to participate and do things for themselves and their communities and not be confined to their houses. If you are a person with a physical disability and you don't have a mobility aid, it affects your movements and you can hardly do anything for yourself or for the community. These people have talents and skills to be productive citizens, but if there is a mobility barrier, then they are confined and lose gain from those hidden talents. I think these aids will really help to improve mobility and enable the participation of People with Disabilities in the community and to the development of the community.
Musa: At a personal level, you were working with GFD since your time at VSO and now you are no more with VSO but still continue to work with GFD. May I just ask if you have any enjoyment in working with GFD and what benefit do you derive from working with Persons with Disabilities?
Ndella: It is not easy to say who you are, but those who are close to me know that I am someone who believes in equal rights for everybody, and my experiences in life have really shown that I was given my rights by the support of other people, because if you have a humble background, unless people who respect the values of individuals support you, you can hard realize your potentials. I was given support by other individuals who did not care where I was coming from, but they saw that I was a girl with high potential, so they supported me to reach where I am today, with SOROPTMIST, with other people that I have met along the way, arriving in the position where I am in a position to help others. I derive pleasure in helping others and interestingly, before I joined VSO, the disability community were people that I did not really think about, so I thank God that, through VSO, I had the opportunity to understand that there is a social group who are equal with other people but are often forgotten by virtue of what people perceive them to be. Sometimes it is not that we think Persons with Disabilities are wicked, but we think that we need to have them in the house and care for them, but we need to go beyond that. Persons with Disabilities are equally human beings; they have potentials that some of us don't have. It all boils back to the opportunities they have to explore that potential and if Gambians don't reap that potential we are always going lose out because People with Disabilities are doing a lot of development in other parts of the world.
Musa: You think differently from the majority of Gambians regards the way they treat Persons with Disabilities. What would be your advice to those who treat Persons with Disabilities negatively?
Ndella: I admit that many times, Persons with Disabilities are victims of mistreatment, because people do not know to treat them. So let's continue with our sensitization works so that we enlighten the general public about how deal with People with Disabilities, because if you don't know how to deal with them, even with the spirit of doing good for them, you may end up harming them, so that's one area that we need to be aware of. Furthermore, we want people to change perception and like I've said, I don't look at the physical appearance of the person. I look beyond that because people are beyond how they look physically. Let's appreciate or have a different mind about them, as there are a lot of things behind them and persons with disabilities are some the people I've seen that are that way. So sitting on a wheelchair doesn't mean that the wheelchair defines them or that is how the person is throughout his life. The person is beyond being on a wheelchair so we have to open up our minds and give them the opportunities from outside the households, because sometimes that's where the problem starts. If your parents keep you in the house rather than taking you to school, then you miss out from the opportunity of being prepared for life, and that affects you later because the way development is going, those who are educated have higher chances of being employed. So let's give all the people in the houses the opportunity including the PWDs and as we move on, we open up doors for them in the institutions, higher training institutions, and also in the job market, so that we get the best out of them and forget about looking at only the physical aspects that demonstrates disability in them. I think they are people who have many more things in them beyond how they look. That is my piece of advice for everybody.
Musa: It is a pleasure having you. Thank you very much.
Ndella: Thank you very much.
Musa: Madam, can you kindly introduce you self?
Pauline: I am Pauline from England and I am very privileged to be able to work alongside Madam President of the SOROPTMIST in the Gambia and my fellow sisters. I just want to say thank you for allowing me, through the SOROPTMIST, to bring some technical aids that will enable the Person's with Disabilities to fulfill a very meaningful life and for them to benefit from using the aids and to enable them to integrate into the community.
Musa: How would you rate the situation of persons with disability in The Gambia to the situation of persons with disabilities in the UK?
Pauline: I feel that the Persons with Disabilities in the UK have support and I think perhaps PWD in the Gambia need that accessibility and if I can help with that, I will.
Musa: Yes madam?
Patience Sonko Godwin: I'm Mrs. Patience Sonko Godwin, a member of SOROPTMIST international of Banjul
Musa: Do you have anything to add to what your colleagues have said?
Patience Sonko Godwin: I have been impressed by Persons with Disabilities and what they can do. I have a few friends with disabilities that I have supported in the past. I was very happy to see that Ndella was thinking about this association and we hope that you people will help others and ensure that they get access to these working aids.
Musa: Thank you very much. It is a pleasure having you people here. Now I just want to turn to our Director to give a vote of thanks and say how he feels about these donations.
Musa: Can you say anything and how do you feel about the donations that SOROPTMIST have just brought for GFD?
Anton: Persons with disabilities in the Gambia suffer many difficulties because of a lack of access to support aids. These donations will be very helpful; it will enable persons with disabilities to go to school, access training, to go to work and to integrate in their social life. Thank you very much.

Prep Table
OK, I fired up my pizza oven last weekend (after the curing process) and it seemed to work like a charm. The only downside was having to run back and forth from the kitchen to the side yard to make and then cook the pizza's. I'm now considering building or buying a good sturdy large pizza prep table where people can shape the dough and load all the toppings. I'd like one big enough to store the paddles and peels and rakes under. Does anyone have any ideas about how to go about this? Marble, stone, etc?
Re: Prep Table
Don't know about building one, but I found a folding table that has adjustable height, making it counter height. I love it!
I got mine at costco. I don't see quite the same one on-line anywhere.
Re: Prep Table
sounds like an outdoor kitchen soon on the planning table, rather than just a bench
I am planning on installing one in an existing barbeque area and have been looking at ebay. Check out the site window and then select Business Industrial and thenthen under the Restaurant/Catering group. There are a multitude of stainless benches etc that may be suitable.
Check out:
stainless, Food Preparation Equipment, Cleaning Warewashing items on eBay.com
Re: Prep Table
I found a piece of granit 2x5' for $100. I was justing going to build a frame covered in concrete board and stucco. (Also planning storage shelves and maybe a fridge underneath). I think this will happen next spring as I'm using all my "honey-do" points with the wife on the oven build.
I think the skies the limit in what you want to do. I would recommend something smooth (or at least a "board" you can put down) to work your dough on. I would think it would be hard to form a pizza on tile or something with a rough surface.
Re: Prep Table
That's a super idea. We also need a prep table and have been kicking around a few thoughts. I like yours the best. It's a fairly easy build and will look fancy.
Re: Prep Table
I have been very pleased with what I use. I bought a "beverage bar" that is made of the same material as my deck table and chairs. It sits to the right of my oven. I can hold pizza toppings, oven door, thermometer, candleabra, pizza dough, pan with water, and lots more. I will try to attach this picture. I don't know how to add the picture here, I will add it to photos
Re: Prep Table
I can't get the photo thing to work. There is a pic of my prep table under the photos in cooking.
Re: Prep Table
Here you go Krosskraft:
I like this version, because it takes up so little space. And it looks really nice too.
Though maybe not the ideal solution for those of you with enormous massive gardens streaching all the way round your houses for a couple of acres in each direction...
Mine is a small table we used to have on our balcony. It folds up when not in use - which is VERY practical, because otherwise it would immediately get covered in various interesting stones, buckets, tools, broken bycicle bells, deflated footballs and whatever, and I'd have to clear it each time before making any pizza...
Re: Prep Table
Auctions can be great. I have a couple of food service stainless steel prep tables about 2 feet wide and six feet long. They are on steel pipe frames but that can be easily covered and made to look nice. I got lucky on these because nobody else bid on them and got them for $10 each.

Ann Coulter Says Romney Spokesperson Andrea Saul Should Be Fired for Citing Massachusetts Health Care in Response to Super PAC Ad
Sean Hannity reported on his show tonight that there is new evidence linking the Obama campaign with the controversial pro-Obama Super PAC ad released by Priorities USA. He said that the evidence appears to indicate that campaign officials closely coordinated with PAC organizers on the ad that blames Mitt Romney for the cancer-death of a steel worker's wife. Such coordination would be a violation of federal election law.
The man in the ad, Joe Soptic, once appeared in an Obama campaign ad. Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter said on CNN that she doesn't have anything to do with Priorities USA and that she doesn't know the facts of when Soptic's wife became ill.
However, a conference call contradicts
Cutter's statement. In the audio, Soptic explains in detail about his wife's illness and death while Cutter is on the line.
Ann Coulter joined Hannity to discuss the latest in this heated campaign season. She said, "I think the bigger issue is how repulsive this ad is. This man, his wife didn't even have health insurance through his job. She had health insurance through her job […] Obama is a liar, this is a repulsive despicable ad, it shows the true colors of the man that oh we thought was hope and change."
She saved some of her criticism for the Romney campaign spokeswoman, Andrea Saul. Instead of calling out the ad for being despicable or pointing out that Romney had already left Bain or even that the woman had died five years after the plant closed, Saul's response in Coulter's words was, "well if she had lived in Massachusetts with Mitt Romney's health care plan, she would've had health insurance."
Coulter charged, "Anyone who donates to Mitt Romney, and I mean the big donors, ought to call Mitt Romney and say if Andrea Saul isn't fired and off the campaign tomorrow, they are not giving another dime because it is not worth fighting for this man if this is the kind of spokesman he has."
Heatedly, she went on to say, "There is no point in us going to a convention and pushing for this man if he's employing morons like this."

Glee's Season 3: The Five Worst Song Performances of the Year
We all love Fridays, but the relief wouldn't be quite as sweet if we didn't also have to endure the pain of a Monday, too, right? And along those lines, Glee's not-so-stellar songs help us appreciate the stellar ones even more. Granted, every Glee song is iPod-worthy, but here are the five from Season 3 that we didn't find ourselves replaying as much as the rest.
Or maybe we just prefer our disposable cups to have illustrations on them, Dixie cup-style.
5. "Red Solo Cup" by Sam
Sam (Chord Overstreet) doesn't get many solos, so we hate putting one on this list, but this song was just so much less than what we were expecting from Trouty Mouth's triumphant return to New Directions. We suppose the lyrics were appropriate for Sam's story, but the vocals were blah, as we're not even sure that this is our favorite Glee song about a drink receptacle (Brittany's [Heather Morris] "My Cup," anyone?). The lyrics refer to a red Solo cup as "cheap and disposable," and that's also kinda how we'd describe this song.
4. "Stand" by the Warblers
Maybe we're just biased, but neither of the Warblers numbers at Regionals impressed us much, especially not this one, which comes off as generic and boy band-ish. We loved Sebastian's (Grant Gustin) vocals on "Smooth Criminal" (as you can tell from it's #1 spot on our list of Season 3's best songs), but the performance here just can't stand up to all those unbelievable Blaine (Darren Criss)-led Warblers performances of yesteryear. Come to think of it, we're just glad Blaine is on our side now.
3. "Dinosaur" by Brittany and Santana
It certainly doesn't help that the original version of this song is the kind of recording that we wish could have been destroyed by the Big Bang. And we appreciate that Brittany puts on a good show — those splits! — but still, her "singing" (or should we say, shouting) leaves something to be desired. With a track record like this, we're just hoping Glee never decides to do another song by Ke-Dollar-Sign-Ha again.
2. "A Little Less Conversation" by Schue
Sigh. When it came time to square off against David Martinez (Ricky Martin), this was Will's ace in the hole? We lost a little respect for Schue during this number, not to mention that we're still shocked that this is the treatment Elvis gets after we've waited the entire series for him (not counting "Blue Christmas," which Elvis only covered). Frankly, we're struggling to find anything good to say about this fun but offensive number. Uh... we suppose Will looks good in shoulder pads?
1. "The Rain in Spain" by Puck and Finn
Here it is — the most regrettable performance of the year! The nicest thing we can say about this silly little ditty is that it was at least something different. All in all, this song might have been fun in theory but was way too cringe-worthy, as this "vocal performance" just didn't belong in the same league as the season's other numbers. By George, this song doesn't got it.

We have posted previously on how to build your initial keyword list for your SEO campaign. In contrast to paid search where you cast as wide a net as possible, with your SEO keyword list, you need to be more selective and target the most important terms. You need to strip it down your keyword list to the essential terms that achieve a balance between search volume, relevance, and competition.
Your target keyword list should be comprised of terms that have a healthy search volume, are highly relevant for your website's content, and have as little competition as possible. This sounds like a tall order, but if you want to target the right terms, doing a little research upfront will save time and enhance your performance.
Keyword Relevancy
Of all the keyword metrics, this is the least concrete. This means that there aren't handy tools out there to determine this for you. You'll have to figure this out yourself. However, there are a few steps you can take to help determine the level of relevancy for your initial keyword list.
First, do a gut check. You should be able to vet your initial keyword list simply by reviewing the terms and knowing which ones are mission critical for your business/product/service.
Second, use the search engines. Conduct search queries for the keywords that you think are relevant for your website. If none of your main competitors come up for a certain keyword it could mean two things: you have discovered a new keyword that your competition are not yet targeting (gold!), or this term isn't relevant for your website or your competitors' sites. More than likely it will be the latter.
Third, ask around. Use your co-workers or partners as a sounding board. Ask anyone who has a hand in the development of the website. You may get different perspectives you weren't expecting.
With these steps completed, hopefully you will have already shrunk your keyword list considerably. Now, how do you choose from the terms that are left?
Search Volume
There are a few tools out there that will allow you to find the search volume for your initial keyword list. And by search volume, I mean the average number of searches that are conducted for each keyword per month. Here is a quick list of helpful tools:
SEO Book Keyword Suggestion Tool
The search volume displayed by these tools will vary. I would suggest using one tool for all of your search volume research. This way, you are using a consistent source and your numbers will be more valid, comparatively speaking.
Keyword Competition
Once you have found the search volume for your initial keyword list, then you'll want to get an idea of what you're up against in the search engines. To get a quick idea on the amount of competition you'll face, you can take each keyword and type it directly into Google, Yahoo or MSN. Honestly, I think most people will use Google for this purpose.
You'll notice at the top of the search engine results page there is a line that appears above your results:
This information is telling us the number of competing pages for this particular term. Here we can see that the keyword, "tennis shoes" currently has 16,100,000 competing pages within Google's index. FYI: that's a lot of competition.
Once you have put all of this together you should be targeting keywords that fit into these categories:
High Relevance & High Competition: There are going to be terms that are highly relevant for your business but have a lot of competition. If you are going to target these terms, know what you're getting into and be aware that it's going to be a long battle for good rankings.
High Relevance & Low Search Volume: You may find that some keywords that you have deemed highly relevant have a low monthly search volume. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. You may be able to rank for these keywords with less effort. It also means that when someone does search for this term, you'll be exactly what they're looking for. And your chances of converting this visitor are pretty good!
However, ideally you'll be targeting…
High Relevance & High Search Volume & Low Competition: Ideally, you want to target relevant keywords that are searched for frequently and have a low amount of competition.
Of course, we don't live in an idealistic world and your keyword list will not be comprised of keywords that are solely ideal. You'll have mix of terms. But as long you do the research upfront in order to get the right balance of relevancy, search volume and competition, then you're already ahead of the game.

The student, Kenneth Ray Egan, 21, did not live in the house, but was "a close friend of the residents and a frequent guest," the Stillwater Police Department said in a news release. Police officials said that they arrived at the house early Sunday morning to find Egan unconscious on a living room couch, and that their attempts to resuscitate him failed. The two residents of the house escaped and, according to the police department, did not know Egan was in the house.The U.S.

By now, it is widely accepted that curricular efforts to "engage" students -- to involve them deeply in the process of learning and in the actual material they study -- pays off.

Agents who shot at speeding van felt threatened, officials say
Tuesday's shootings occurred after a customs agent stepped into his booth to check the license of the first van. All three drivers stormed the border together and tried to find open lanes that would lead to Interstate 5 or Interstate 805, police Lt. Rooney said.
The vans ended up stuck in traffic and two of them backed up to find other avenues of escape. The three federal officers opened fire when the driver of one of the vans drove toward them, Rooney said.
Two people were hit by gunfire, including a 31-year-old man who was driving the van and a 42-year-old male passenger.
The driver of that van continued to a lane on the west side of the port, where he crashed into a pickup, injuring a 30-year-old passenger in the truck.
Another passenger in the van, a 37-year-old man, suffered a head injury and cuts as a result of the crash, police said.
Two people were arrested in connection with the smuggling attempt, a U.S. citizen and a Mexican citizen. A third man, now in the hospital, will be arrested Thursday, said Lauren Mack, an ICE spokeswoman.
A total of 79 people were taken into custody; some passengers will be held as material witnesses, Mack said.
The driver of one of the vans, arrested by Mexican authorities after the van was observed returning to Mexico, was a minor, and a Mexican citizen, De Cima said.
