Every year, tens of thousands of temporary H-2B workers travel to the United States with dreams of profitable employment that could lead to permanent residency. H-2B employees are temporary, foreign nonagricultural workers. Upon arrival in the country, many H-2B workers find employment abuses that resemble slavery. To understand the extent of the abuses, put yourself in their place and imagine that your legal sponsor has confiscated your passport, forced you to work 14 hours a day without a break and arranged for you to sleep in an uncomfortable, packed living space.
Whistleblower laws have been instrumental in revealing, uprooting and preventing environmental abuses, corruption and fraud. Sen. Richard Blumenthal hopes to use the power of the whistleblower to expose and eliminate the exploitation of H-2B workers by including a whistleblower provision in an amendment to the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act.
The legislation proposed by Sen. Blumenthal, Senate Amendment 1429, says that a person may not fire, demote, threaten, harass or discriminate against employees because they filed a complaint, disclosed information to an entity or supplied information to governmental offices about violations of this act. The amendment also protects employees who refuse to participate in any task that they think is a violation of the act. The proposed legislation also provides for relief under the whistleblower provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for employees who believe they were victims of retaliation.
If a whistleblower statute protecting H-2B workers can shadow the success of the U.S. False Claims Act, then great strides in protecting guest workers can be achieved. Since 1986, the False Claims Act has recovered more than $30 billion for the U.S. government because it provides retaliation protection for whistleblowers. If guest workers are provided the same measure of protection, they can be empowered to protest and disclose mistreatment.

Over nearly the last year, we've been piloting our Mobile Technology for Community Health, or MOTECH, initiative in the remote Upper East Region of Ghana. MOTECH's two key services – Mobile Midwife and Nurse Application – provide maternal health information via mobile phones to both pregnant parents and their community nurses in rural areas. The system was launched in July 2010, and we've experienced many successes ever since. As is expected with any new projects, it's also been an intensive learning process. Here's a short overview of some of the lessons we've learned.

20 LGBT Couples Who Have Been in Love More Than a Decade
BY Advocate.com Editors
January 09 2014 8:00 AM ET
"We've been together for so long, then what are we if we're not married?" Michael says. They actually wish that the gay community would just design or invent a form of marriage that is more creative in spirit and approach, that is more organic and not just a replica of heterosexual marriage, which they feel is not a particularly successful role model. They wish that society could create a new kind of marriage with new kinds of vows to each other that would surpass the rigidity of the standard view of marriage. As Dan says, "If you don't have love every single day for the person that you're with, then no marriage certificate is going to be worth anything."

While snow knocked out my power for much of the weekend games were still played in Bridgeport. The Sound Tigers split a pair but came out of the weekend with three points, losing in OT to the Worchester Sharks and edging out the Providence Bruins in the waning seconds of play on Saturday. The 3 points and W improve Bridgeport to 4-4-1 in the opening 9 games of the season.
Friday night was a story of 1sts for the Sound Tigers on the season as Tony Romano and Ty Wishart collected their first goals on the season and PTO signees Steve Oleksy and Dan Kissel suited up for their first games as Sound Tigers; finally, G Mikko Koskinen made his first start and second appearance on the season. Oleksy made his presence felt dropping the gloves, as he was brought in to do. Romano's goal tied the score at 1 on the PP (after the Tigers gave up a 1st Pd SH G) in the 2nd. Wishart's first would put the Sound Tigers ahead in the third but the Sharks answered later in the period and won in the closing seconds of OT.
Mikko Koskinen stopped 28 of 31 shots and in his two games of play (came on in relief of Poulin a few games ago) has amassed a 1.99 GAA and .940 SV% in 90 total minutes of play. More on the goalies in another post. What's seemingly working in LI, ISN'T working in Bridgeport.
The Sound Tigers played through the white out conditions much like their parent club (they will honor tickets for those who bought them, more details at soundtigers.com). Though unlike the parent club were able to eek out a W on the back of Casey Cizikas' pair of 3rd period goals to tie and end the game against the Providence Bruins. in the Sound Tiger's first home win of the season, it was the top line that made up the scoring ledger as Justin DiBenedetto notched his team leading 8th goal of the season and Cizikas added his first pair of the season. in addition to the Goal, DiBenedetto also notched his first assist on first Cizikas goal, restoring him to point pr game status as his hot start continues. Tim Wallace, Cizikas and DiBo's other cohort, added 3 assists and a +3 on the night as that line has done well.
With DiBenedetto's hot Start, I wouldn't be surprised to see him as a call up in the event of an injury. However, Bridgeport and the Isles again seem to have the same issues on offense; there's very little secondary scoring from the other lines. Through 9 games, there's certainly been more help from the other lines with Jeremy Colliton getting 6 points in 7 games and David Ullstrom picking up 4 goals and a helper already (he's off to a terrific start to his sophomore season), but there isn't a consistant threat from the other lines. It's still early though and the Sound Tigers are probably among the younger teams in the Eastern Conference, but there's a very thin margin of error it feels like if teams shutdown Cizikas and DiBenedetto (who've had Wallace and Sean Backman flank them so far this year, but they have chemist's and are preforming...unlike some third liners on LI).
Anders Nilsson was your winner on Saturday and is clearly the starter for Coach Thompson as his record is now 3-1-0 with a 2.98 GAA and a .902 SV%. Nothing remarkable, but he's clearly the superior goalie in terms of numbers and measured sample size to date. Kevin Poulin (who if you follow me on Twitter, @MattClausen, know that I have a near unhealthy obsession with over the years) checks in at 1-3-0 and a 4.71 GAA and a .853...simply horrid I'll admit. I'm not sure what's up with Poulin, but I don't think he's been playing at 100%. again, the Goalies will get their own post in a bit.
Wednesday the Sound Tigers face off against the Northeast leading Connecticut Whale and their new look Averyless lineup. SoundTigers won their first meeting in a 5-4 Shootout victory on 10/15 in Hartford.

Luo Website
Yawei Luo is a sixth year graduate student in the Brown-MBL Joint Graduate Program. He is co-advised by Dr. Hugh Ducklow at the MBL's Ecosystems Center and Dr. Warren Prell at Brown University. His major scientific interest is ecosystem modeling and microbial ecology of the open ocean.
The world ocean has already absorbed a large amount of anthropogenic CO2 emitted by the fossil-fuel burning and the recent land-use change, and Yawei thinks that microbes may be playing important roles in the CO2 sequestration process. Here is how Yawei explains the phenomenon of CO2 sequestration in the ocean.
The primary production of marine ecosystems converts CO2 into organic matter at the ocean surface. Part of the organic matter synthesized is exported into the lower water column, where the organic matter is respired back to CO2. This process, called the biological pump, maintains a low partial pressure of CO2 at the surface ocean so that CO2 can continuously be pumped from the atmosphere into the ocean. Through this process, the marine ecosystems help reduce the atmospheric CO2 level and may cool down our warming planet. Yawei believes that heterotrophic bacteria, bacteria that consume organic matter synthesized by primary producers for energy production, are one of the key components controlling the biological pump. He thinks that about one half of the organic carbon produced by primary production is degraded by the heterotrophic bacteria and availability of a large amount of inorganic nutrients required for primary production depends on the recycling of organic matter by this degradation process.
As a graduate student in-residence at MBL, Yawei investigates the role of the heterotrophic bacteria in the ocean ecosystem and their impacts on the carbon cycle using mathematical modeling. Mathematical modeling is an essential tool in oceanography. Unlike terrestrial ecological studies, it is very difficult to operate observatories in the remote open ocean. In the past decades, oceanographers have generated enormous amount of field observation data. However, opportunities for such field observations are still very limited, compared to those in other types of ecosystems. Yawei says, "a modeling study can fill the gap when and where the observations are unavailable and can even predict the future." He is currently optimizing his model at the Arabian Sea, Equatorial Pacific, and North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, and his initial results shows that the heterotrophic bacteria may be more important in marine ecosystems than what people normally think.

1 star!
1 star!
Game of the Year.
I feel sorry for you Jeff for having to play this game.
At least it was a well written review!
Sorry Sony, development costs of 500 bucks are not sufficient if you want quality Vita games.
Damn son!
One less reasons to buy a Vita. What a fantastic console thus far.
Worse then Modern Combat 3 for smart phones.
"You'd think that the people in charge of the Call of Duty franchise would be more protective of it than this." Activision is usually much more careful about the quality when it comes to their IP.
@Jeff Did you guys ever figure out a good way to do video capture for the Vita? And if so, any plans to quick look this? Not that I'm into torturing anyone, but I'd like to see it.
Dayum sonnn!
Vita GOTY right here.
Damn. I thought it would've been cool to have the Black Ops multiplayer on a portable device. Seems like a total letdown though.
I feel sad for people that buy this thinking they are getting some Call of Duty.. damn.
YEAH, man the Vita really is proving me wrong. I totally should have bought one.
Damn. The Vita really needed this to be a good game.
haha this review surprised me.
"The console experience on a handheld". Sony's words, not mine.
I dont think I've ever seen Jeff's 1 star review image, so awesome!
Gotta love that TNT cigar
A new challenger for worst game of the year appears.
The Vita deserves better and unfortunately people will judge the console from this due to it being possibly the most popular bundle during the holidays. Congrats Nihilistic you have continued to take good franchises and make some of the worst games with them.
I'm so sorry you had the experience this Jeff.
EDIT: Even looking at the comments people judging the Vita as a platform from this game. Sony and Activistion should have put a bullet in it, the game has done more harm than good.
Holy shit the way Jeff was talking smack about this I thought it was gonna get a 3 star or at worst a 2. I didn't think it would end up being 1 star shitty.
To be fair, even in the console versions of Call of Duty I normally spawn within 30 ft of someone and they are either looking at my back or I'm lookign at them. :p
A rare Dynamite Gerstmann appears!
As soon as I saw the name Nihilistic Software, I knew this game would be a disaster. There's a reason they're refocusing the company on mobile games. I can't remember a title in the last decade with their name on it that wasn't bad. When Sony refused to show anything about it beyond a title graphic at E3, I knew this would be a mess.
Thank you for providing this valuable public service Jeff. :)
I didn't think it could tank that bad.... Good review btw.
Weird, some guys over at the PS Vita Hub are saying the multiplayer's actually pretty good, minus some technical issues. They all agree that the campaign is crap though.
I thought Alex was the person around here allowed to give 1 star ratings.
Knew this was going to the bad the moment I heard Nihilistic were making it. Resistance: Burning Skies was bad but this sounds flat out broken
Sounds pretty good!
And that's when Jeff decided to buy Alex a Vita.
Activision cashing that Sony cheque.
Oh wow, this is probably the first time I've seen Jeff's 1-star image.
Oh wow ...I expected mindless mediocrity but THIS bad?
I doubt anyone is surprised by this review at all. Shame that Sony seem to have been hedging their bets on this game as the Vita saviour. If they're serious about making shooters the staple for the platform, they need better games than this to justify it. Otherwise, they should do well to look at the (admittedly few) ways the PSP was successful and try to work on that. On a related note, really hope Persona 4 Golden outsells Declassified.
Let me remind you that one of the the primary bundles for the Vita this holiday ships with this game. Meaning most people buying a Vita will either buy it with Assassin's Creed III: Liberation...or Declassified.
The Vita is absolutely fucked.
Could that fact that the Vita is doing so poorly be a big reason why this game is so bad? It's almost like that game is nothing more than shovelware.
This game is available to me for free in the Vita bundle which when you buy that bundle at FutureShop you get a free copy of Uncharted for your Vita. Despite that fact, I still don't want this game
Fuuuuuck, that's quite surprising.
And So Call of Duty has sunk it's first low....since the PSP one.

Did you guys get the AssLib bundle in the Frozen North? That would be a much better purchase.

It's a shame that some people will inevitably see it this way. There are a good amount of games on Vita that are actually fun, but, Giant Bomb (among numerous other sites) haven't reviewed them (LittleBigPlanet, Dokuro, Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack!!!, Unit 13, Retro City Rampage), so, awareness is even lower than it already is thanks to Sony's poor marketing.
Wow, this and AC:L were Sony's big Vita games for this year and they both really disappointed it seems.
I bet Activision signed a contract to release a Call of Duty Vita game on november 13 and that makes Sony and Activision look like a bunch of idiots.
@Kingloo: I am going to go out on a limb and say that the Sony person who signed the deal with activision is probably going to get fired or is already gone.
I beat Liberation, and while it's not necessarily a good game, it's at least serviceable (with the occasional moment that almost fools you into believing it's good). But from the stuff I've heard, Declassified is on a whole another level of bad.
Wow, this and AC:L were Sony's big Vita games for this year and they both really disappointed it seems.
"but many of the other maneuvers--grenade tossing and melee attacks, specifically--have been moved to the touch screen."
Why do Vita developers keep doing this? The console is set up perfectly for first person shooters as it is. Putting in unnecessary touch/motion controls adds nothing. Stop it.
Nihilistic Software doing their best to twist that knife that's currently in the Vita's side. For shame, as it really is a great piece of hardware.
The sad thing is that a bunch of casual people will (could?) buy this and then write off the Vita entirely based on a single bad game. The nail in the coffin was placed when Sony and Activision handed this to Nihilistic in the first place...

Title: Dust
Author: Joan Frances Turner
KDL Description:
A story of the undead from their own point of view, as they battle time, decay, the loved ones they left behind, encroaching humanity and each other. Or, think Watership Down with zombies instead of rabbits.
Amazon Description:
What happens between death and life can change a girl. Jessie is a zombie. And this is her story…
Nine years ago, Jessie was in a car crash and died. After she was buried, she awoke and tore through the earth to arise, reborn, as a zombie. Now Jessie's part of a gang. They fight, hunt, and dance together as one-something humans can never understand. There are darkplaces humans have learned to avoid, lest they run into zombie gangs. But when a mysterious illness threatens the existence of both zombies and humans, Jessie must choose between looking away or staring down the madness-and hanging on to everything she now knows as life…

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1 - An Advanced Compact for the Casual Shooter
The LF1 is Panasonic's newest advanced compact and has similarities to its LX7 counterpart. While the sensor inside the LF1 is the same size and type as that of the LX7, the LF1 sports a higher resolution. Other differences include a longer but slightly slower lens and an electronic viewfinder (EVF) - a rarity on small cameras. Along with a lower price, are these differences enough to make the LF1 stand out?
Panasonic Lumix GF6 - Incredibly Good Value
With a new 16MP sensor and the return of the Mode dial, the Panasonic Lumix GF6 improves upon the GF5 and borrows a little from the GX1. It adds a near 180° tilting touch-screen for easy selfies and built-in Wi-Fi for easy sharing. It even has NFC to easily pair with mobile devices. Check out our review to see how it fares.
Tough Luck - Why Panasonic Isn't Scared of Waterproof Tablets
Water resistant or waterproof? Resistance suggests some kind of marginal impedance. Waterproof? Now that's a word with confidence. So why isn't Panasonic's Toughbook division worried about the rapid emergence of waterproof consumer devices like the Sony Xperia Tablet Z and Fujitsu Stylistic QH582? We find out.
A Day of Shooting with Panasonic GF6 and G6 in Bali
We didn't get a chance at handling the new Panasonic camera models when the news broke so how could we pass up an offer to spend a day shooting with them? So it's off to Bali this time around for Panasonic's regional digital camera launch and here are the highlights of the trip.
A HWZ PlayTest Event - Smart AV for Your Home
A well set-up home entertainment system doesn't only perform well, but looks good too. With so many components to consider such as the television set, speakers, amplifier, set-top decks and networking gear, just how do you go about deciding what to get and managing all of them? HardwareZone teamed up with Home & Decor, Mudian, ASUS, Panasonic and Yamaha to conduct a Smart Home AV PlayTest event to help our readers do just that. Find out what took place!
Panasonic's New AV Offerings for 2013

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 - Everything in One Camera
The GH series has always been the most serious of Micro Four Thirds (MFT) cameras, and the GH3 is the most powerful one of them all yet - it offers professional-grade video quality with high-quality stills, in a design that's both sturdy and also easy to use.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200 - Bridging the Gap
While there are many superzoom cameras with the ability to shoot at 20x optical zoom and further, the Panasonic Lumix FZ200 is the only superzoom capable of shooting at F/2.8 from its wide end to the telephoto end. But is this just a gimmicky feature or is the FZ200 a truly versatile camera? Read on to find out!

Can I tell the guy who stood me up off?
I got stood up last night and let me tell you it feels horrible! I am a pretty attractive girl who has no problem finding a date. This guy was... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
This just happened to me too! In my case, I think, although he would never admit it, that he was hungover/still drunk from the night before and he even said to me that his explanation would never be "good enough", cos lets face it it doesn't look that good does it. "Er sorry I'm actually throwing up, I've lost a shoe and look like sh*t because I got a bit carried away with the tequila last night, so I think it's best we don't do dinner".
See we know that honesty, even in a slightly prettied up version, is ALWAYS better than nothing but guys, they don't get that. They avoid admitting anything that makes them look bad.
Whatever you do, do not send a 'have a nice life text'. He may be embarrassed to tell you the truth because if that is the case, it doesn't paint him in the best of lights. It could of course also be that he's not interested, but this isn't about him. Are you interested? Is it worth giving him another shot? We've all been in situations where we meant to have one or two beers and it turned into 10 because really after 4 we just feel like nothing can go wrong and of course we'll be up bright and early to jog around the park?!?
If you do continue this, you definitely need to tell him it wasn't cool...but fear not, he will remember he made plans and he will know he fu**ed up, so you don't need to labour the point. I know what you mean about the testing how far they can go. I agree, a little, but men are so much simpler than us and I don't mean that disrespectfully, they just don't think things through so much. It probably seemed like a great idea at the time to ask you for dinner.
Be cool. Be mature. Tell him you had a great night but it's a shame you didn't do dinner, his night would have been better if he'd spent it with you. The fact he is texting at all, kinda indicates he is still interested. If he was blowing you off he wouldn't bother, would he?
Maybe he was a little put out you didn't join him and his friends...have you met them before? Was that actually going to be a big deal for him?
It really comes down to whether you like him enough to even give him the benefit of the doubt. And call him on it, and see what he does from there...that will be your answer as to whether he is into you, or not.
And don't be clouded by the fact you were planning to have sex for the first time. He didn't know that. It throws other emotions in there about trust, and stepping things up that he could not be aware of.
Thank you for your response. I'm glad I didn't text him "have a nice life". The unfortunate/fortunate thing is I see him almost everyday. I work at a gym and he comes there to workout. So I saw him this morning and I just kept busy with my clients. Usually I go up to him and say hello if I don't have a client. Today, I left as soon as I was done without saying goodbye. I hope he tries to contact me again so I can tell him what you suggested. thanks again
What Guys Said 2
you know what you need to do. Tell him what you think, and be done with it. Ya dnt need to waste anymore time on this guy, as he don't give 2 craps enuf about you to be real with you in this case.
I agree with you. If he was drunk when he invited me to go over then regretted it later, he could have at least called or text me to say "sorry, I'm feeling sick". I think guys try to test you to see how much disrespect you will take. What's the best way to tell him off without seeming overly emotional?
Just tell him what he can do, where he can go, and what you think of him. He is just an idiot.
File this drama under "O" for Oh well. Why feel the need to tell anyone off, if he isn't into you just drop him like a sack of potatoes and move on already. your puting way to much energy into a person that is pretty indifferent towards you.
The angrier you respond the more of an ego boost you are going to give him. Just move on, pretty simple. You're too mature for this baby crap.right?
What Girls Said 2
hmm like you said he was drunk, maybe he had a really bad hangover the next day and didn't feel up to it and was reluctant to tell you this was why or said he would cook for you even though he had no food in and just felt it was easier to not go through with it. or maybe he was that drunk he forgot he made the plans at all, it seems like he's still intrested otherwise he wouldn't have text you again.
Yeah Jess but why wouldn't he at least text me and say something like..."I'm feeling really sick. Lets do this another time". Obviously he is still interested but may be he is trying to see how far he can get with me. How much he can disrespect me before I pull the plug.
Possibly, maybe like me he's really bad at lying. I know a time before where I drunkenly arranged to meet someone the next day after a night out and I looked awful and felt awful and didn't want to leave the house to get food to cook for them. I didn't want to tell the guy I was stupid enough to get so drunk I couldn't function the next day and looked awful and didn't want to lie or make a different excuse, so I just said nothing instead in the hope he would think I was just drunk and had forgot

A bill that would allow active-duty military personnel to defer property tax payments during a time of war and for three months after their return was approved Monday by the Senate Community and Urban Affairs Committee.
Under the legislation (S-925), property taxes would be due on the first day following the 90-day grace period. Interest would be applied to any past-due balance after that time period. The measure would require an eligible taxpayer or someone acting on their behalf to apply to the local tax collector for the deferment. To avoid an unfunded mandate, the state would pay cities and towns for the amount of property taxes deferred, plus 2 percent, under the bill. Municipal governments would refund the state in installments when deferred payments are received.
"The men and women serving our country, especially in a time of war, should not have to worry about property tax bills back home," Sen. Jeff Van Drew (D-Cape May), the committee chairman, said. "This measure will give our troops some financial peace of mind while they are deployed, and time to settle in when they return home, before they have to pull out the checkbook to pay their property taxes."
The proposal now heads to the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee for consideration.

Vegan chef, Chloe Coscarelli, shares her dairy-free recipe for Pumpkin Cranberry Cinnamon Rolls with Maple Icing in HUNGRY's Holiday Kitchen. Complete with that sticky-sweet, ooey-gooey goodness synonymous with the decadent treat, these fluffy rolls are perfect for breakfast, dessert, or really any time of day. And best of all, Chloe makes use of that pesky leftover can of cranberry sauce tucked away in your holiday pantry. Watch the video below to see how easy it is to make these delicious cinnamon rolls.
HUNGRY's Holiday Kitchen: Chloe Coscarelli's Vegan Pumpkin Cranberry Cinnamon Rolls with Maple Icing
Makes 12 cinnamon rolls
Make-Ahead Tip: After the assembled unbaked cinnamon rolls have risen, cover them in plastic wrap in the pan and refrigerate overnight. Remove plastic wrap and bake the next day, according to recipe directions.
1 cup pumpkin puree, canned or cooked fresh
1-cup soy, almond, or rice milk
½ cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
½ cup vegan margarine
½ teaspoon salt
1-teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ cup warm water, about 110 degrees
1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
5 cups all-purpose flour, divided, plus extra for rolling
Canola oil, for greasing
¾ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons vegan margarine, melted
1 (14-ounce) can Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce
1½ cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 to 3 tablespoons water
To make the dough: In a medium saucepan, whisk pumpkin puree, nondairy milk, ½ cup sugar, margarine, and salt over low heat until combined. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Let it cool until very warm to the touch, about 110 degrees.
While the pumpkin mixture is cooling, place the warm water, remaining 1-tablespoon sugar, and yeast in a 1-cup glass measuring cup. Stir for a second or two and set aside for about 10 minutes. The yeast will become foamy, double in size, and reach the ¾-cup line. If it does not do so, then the yeast is dead or the water was not at the proper temperature, so make another yeast mixture before proceeding to the next step.
In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, combine the pumpkin mixture and the yeast mixture, and beat at medium speed for about 1 minute. Reduce the speed to low, and add 2½ cups flour. Beat until incorporated and add the remaining 2 ½ cups flour. Beat for 1 more minute. The dough will be somewhat wet and sticky. Change to a dough hook attachment and knead on medium speed for 2 minutes, or place the dough on a floured surface and knead for 2 minutes with your hands. If needed, add more flour to keep the dough from sticking to your hands.
Transfer the dough to a large well-oiled bowl and rotate the ball of dough, so that it is completely covered with oil. This will prevent the dough from sticking to the bowl as it rises. Cover with a dry kitchen towel and place in a warm part of the kitchen. Let it sit until it has doubled in volume (about 1 ½ hours).
Remove the kitchen towel and punch your fist in the center of the dough, so that the dough deflates. Take the dough out and put it on a floured surface, cover with the kitchen towel, and let rest for about 10 minutes.
To make the filling and assemble the rolls: Lightly grease a 9- x 13-inch pan. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into approximately a 20- x 13-inch rectangle. Brush or spread the melted margarine over the entire surface of the dough. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the surface of the dough. Spoon evenly spaced tablespoons of cranberry sauce on top of the brown sugar.
With the long end toward you, roll the dough up evenly. With the seam side down, use a sharp knife to cut the log in half. Then cut each half into 6 equal pieces. You will have 12 cinnamon rolls. Place the rolls, cut side up, into the prepared pan, in 4 rows with 3 rolls in each row, leaving some space between them. Cover with a dry kitchen towel and place in a warm part of the kitchen for the second rise until the cinnamon rolls have risen and expanded, about 1 hour.
Once the cinnamon rolls have risen, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly browned on top. Let the rolls cool for about 10 minutes before glazing.
To make the icing: In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and 1-tablespoon water at a time, until smooth.
Drizzle the icing over the rolls. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Chloe's Tip: Rising Dough
If your kitchen is cold, use this trick to create a warm environment for your dough to rise. Heat the oven to 200 degrees, and then turn it off. Let the covered bowl of dough sit in the oven until it doubles in size.

Authors: Mazengia, Shimelis

Abstract: The main objective of this study is to show whether or not the education currently given in schools has brought change in awareness and attitude among students to influence conservation of natural resources for sustainable development in Northern Shewa Zone in Molale and MehalMeda schools. More specifically to show the effect of schooling on conservation of natural resource for sustainable development, to assess student's level of awareness about conservation of natural resource and issues related to natural resource problems, to assess student's attitude about conservation of natural resource, to explore difference in awareness and attitude among students in terms of Gender difference, Place of residence (Urban and Rural) and Grade levels (grade nine and Eleven). The study incorporates both qualitative and quantitative methods. Student's text books that emphasize natural resource conservation were assessed from grade five to ten to assess whether or not student's had the necessary environmental education in their formal learning. A field study was also conducted so as to generate primary data. An awareness test and attitude scale were developed and administered to investigate respondent's awareness and attitude about environmental issues. About 565 students and 120 parent were took part. The selection of students in the study considers grade nine and grade eleven including male and female students both from rural and urban center. Similarly the selection of parent considers male and female both from rural and urban center. The result using one way analysis of variance indicates statistically significant difference both in awareness and attitude of respondents. Students are found less in their awareness and attitude about conservation of natural resource for sustainable development compared with those out of school parent. Thus it is concluded that the education currently given in schools has not brought the expected change in awareness and attitude among students to influence conservation of natural resource for sustainable development in the study area. Education in Pastoral Areas: Compatibility, Challenges and Policy Responses: The Case of Awash-Fentalle woreda, Afar Regional State http://etd.aau.edu.et:80/dspace/handle/123456789/2673 Title: Education in Pastoral Areas: Compatibility, Challenges and Policy Responses: The Case of Awash-Fentalle woreda, Afar Regional State

Authors: Tsehaye, Zeray

Abstract: Awash-Fentalle woreda, one of the pastoral and agro-pastoral areas in Afar regional state, is located in zone 3 and bordered by Amhara region in north western, Oromiya in west and south eastern and Amibara worwda in north eastern and east parte. The woreda has six administrative kebeles, with total population of about 48,750 (27,123 male and 21,627 female). Of this total population, it is estimated that 17403 is school aged and only 5478 (30%) is enrolled both in the formal and informal schools. furthermore, the share of Afar origin students is limited in 12% of the total enrolled ratio. The researcher had initiated to investigate the low educational enrollment, participation and continuity of the pastoral and agro pastoral children. The main intention of the study was to investigate the compatibility, challenges and policy responses of the educational practices in the pastoral and agropastoral areas of the woreda. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were employed in analyzing and describing the primary and secondary data collected from different sources. The overall findings of the study shows that, the education provision in the study areas of the woreda did not fit/compatible with the special features, livelihood systems of the pastoralists and agro-pastoralists. The type and facilities of schools, the curriculum developed, teacher's familiarity to the pastoral environment, school incentives etc. did not fit with what the pastoralists need. The should be practical approaches and strategies, intended in the national and regional education polices did not in function/ practice. Hence the national, regional, and other voluntary NGOs should give greater emphasis, especially in the practicality of the polices and strategies provided. Farmers' Awareness about Land Degradation and their Attitude towards Land Management Practices http://etd.aau.edu.et:80/dspace/handle/123456789/2283 Title: Farmers' Awareness about Land Degradation and their Attitude towards Land Management Practices

Authors: Anteneh, Gebremariam

Abstract: Abstract The study examines farmers' awareness about land degradation and their attitude towards land management practices in Aleta wondo woreda, Sidama zone, southern Ethiopia. With the use of structured questionnaire and interview schedule, a total of 219 farmers were surveyed for the study. The findings show that about 96% of the respondents were males while 64.0% of them either had primary or secondary education qualification and 36% had no formal education. All the respondents aware of soil erosion and deforestation about 92% and 85% were aware of over grazing and poor farming practices respectively. Only very few of the respondents were indicate absence of crop rotation, planting eucalyptus trees and lack of fertilizers as a cause of land degradation. The assessment of farmers' awareness in the consequence of land degradation shows that all of the farmers in the study area have been aware of loss of agriculture production. The majority aware of increases the requirement of fertilizers, difficulty of farming and loss in livestock productivity which accounts 93.2%, 91.8% and 84.9%, respectively. Only very few of the respondents were aware that poverty and economic backwardness, migration and landlessness as a consequence of land degradation. The findings of farmers' awareness in land management practices indicate that all of the respondents were aware of mixed cropping, organic manure (93.6%), closure of grazing land (93.2%), terracing (90.7%) and crop rotation (87.7%). While a very few of the respondents aware of contour plowing and fallowing. Information on land management practices was mostly obtained from fellow farmers and extension agents. Mixed cropping and organic manures were widely used land management practices in the study area. The survey showed that the respondents have favourable attitude towards land management practices. The findings also showed that there was a significant association between age and awareness in the causes and consequences of land degradation and land management practices. There were also statistically significant association between educational background and awareness about the issue of land degradation and management practices. In addition, statistically significant association was also found between age and attitude towards land management practices. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that there is a need of modifying educational/training programs which was provided for farmers by considering the existing knowledge and practices in a particular area. TEACHERS' AWARENESS, ATTITUDES AND PRACTICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION: THE CASE OF OROMO NATIONALITY ADMINISTRATION, AMHARA REGION http://etd.aau.edu.et:80/dspace/handle/123456789/2247 Title: TEACHERS' AWARENESS, ATTITUDES AND PRACTICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION: THE CASE OF OROMO NATIONALITY ADMINISTRATION, AMHARA REGION

Authors: AKLILU, DALELO (PhD)

Abstract: This study focuses on the Upper Primary level teachers' awareness, attitudes and practice of environmental education with particular reference to the Oromo Nationality Administration of the Amhara Region. It also comprises an assessment of the integration of environmental issues into the textbooks of Upper Primary level; examination of the extent to which various experiences contributed to the teachers' environmental education knowledge, attitude and skills; and identification of the opportunities and constraints for teaching environmental education. Qualitative data generated from textbook analysis of two subjects and quantitative data gathered by a questionnaire from 120 participants randomly selected from 30 schools of three woredas were used for the study. The textbook analysis showed that environmental issues conceptually linked to environmental education are adequately integrated in the textbooks of civics and ethical education and most of the environmental issues of Ethiopia are covered in the English textbooks though the three strands of environmental literacy are not sufficiently balanced in both subjects. The study also revealed that teachers possessed positive attitudes towards both environmental issues and environmental education though there are indications that they lack the necessary awareness about several issues related to the environment and environmental education. It is evident that environmental education practices are limited to routine classroom activities. Extracurricular and out of school activities are almost neglected. The study further showed that the media and personal reading are the most important sources of information for the teachers' knowledge, attitudes and skills of environmental education. The study revealed teachers' pre-service training has inadequately prepared teachers for EE as a result of which, along with other factors, teachers feel less competent to teach EE. Even though there are several opportunities for teachers that enhance their EE, this study made it clear that teachers didn't use all the opportunities effectively. It appears that heavy workload, lack of teaching resource materials, lack of training and time constraints are the major obstacles that hindered environmental education. In light of these findings, recommendations have been suggested for future improvement.

Since the 1965 "Moynihan Report," conversations about disproportionate inequalities between white and black communities have historically focused on "black culture"—that is, explanations of racial discrepancies as products of different values, social norms, and cultural practices within black communities. The study, formally titled "The Negro Family: The Case for National Action," saw black poverty as the result of non-nuclear family structures and absentee fathers. Now, University of Maryland sociologist Philip N. Cohen tells Vox that academics are leaving the argument behind because it simply doesn't hold up:
The predominant view now is that there is a specific condition of inner-city concentrated poverty especially in black communities, because of racial segregation and racism, and the structural conditions are very damaging to family life, family relationships. People lose jobs and housing because of incarceration, job discrimination, etc., which create real obstacles to family stability, which in turn is a challenging condition for children's development.
Indeed, as social science has matured and issues of race and racism have come under scrutiny and greater focus, more people are aware that structural issues, rather than personal ones, best explain advantage and privilege by race. Hopefully 1960s-era thought is well on its way to being replaced with more nuanced understandings of the factors behind racial discrepancies.

The Bulls are up to the No. 14 team in America, but we just don't know if all of those accolades are truly justified or not. The win against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish is looking better and better, especially after the Irish took care of these same Panthers just last week right here at Heinz Field, but aside from that, there isn't a win that has come against a team that is going to even think about going to a bowl game. That being said, USF has taken care of business and done so in a big time way, not just by beating foe, but beating the snot out of them. Case in point: Last week, the team posted at 52-24 beat down of the UTEP Miners, marking the third straight game with at least a 28 point margin of victory. QB BJ Daniels, not nearly known for his passing prowess, has done a nice job this year fending off QB Bobby Eveld as the starter for the Bulls. Daniels has thrown for 1,071 yards and has eight TD passes against just one pick, whereas Eveld has been intercepted three times without throwing a TD pass with just 108 total yards.
Meanwhile, the Panthers are struggling with first year Head Coach Todd Graham, and the possibility is there that this might not even be a season that ends in a bowl game when push comes to shove. Pittsburgh is only 2-2 in what will likely amount to be its final season in the Big East, and it hasn't even touched the conference schedule yet. The only wins that this team has are against the Buffalo Bulls and Maine Black Bears, and the loss two weeks ago at the Iowa Hawkeyes proved to be one of the biggest collapses that the school has ever seen in football. QB Tino Sunseri just isn't adapting to the new Pitt offense all that well. He only has four TD passes and 823 passing yards in four games, and he has been picked off four times as well. The defense isn't helping matters any, and if this unit is allowing 29 points against Maine and 31 to Iowa, we can't even imagine what USF and its 45.5 points per game average has the ability of doing.
South Florida Bulls @ Pittsburgh Panthers Pick: Here's the only thing that bugs us, though. Neither one of these teams are truly proven commodities. The Panthers are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 conference games, and they are winners of three in a row both SU and ATS this in this series. We just don't love the chances that the Bulls have of pulling this one out, so we're going to go with the hosts by default.

Oklahoma City, OK -- State and federal officials announce that disaster assistance is now available for tornado damages in Caddo and Kiowa counties. This declaration follows a review of additional information regarding damages caused during the October 9 and 10 storms and tornadoes in the Southwestern region of the state.
The declaration covers individual as well as infrastructure damages and losses in Caddo and Kiowa counties. Residents are eligible to apply for a variety of programs including disaster housing assistance, low interest loans to repair or replace storm-damaged property, or grants for serious needs and necessary expenses not met by other programs. Governmental and qualified non-profit organizations with losses caused by the storms may qualify for the repair or replacement of damaged buildings, equipment and other infrastructure costs.
State and federal disaster assistance programs help cover the costs of damages and losses that are under- or uninsured. Some disaster aid does not have to be paid back, while other help may come in the form of low interest disaster loans. Residents and business owners are urged to call the toll-free registration number at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362), 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. The system will be closed on Thanksgiving Day.
"Federal, state, and local governments, along with volunteer agencies are working together to meet immediate needs and address the long-term recovery issues," said Joe D. Bray, Federal Coordinating Officer.
Three Oklahoma counties...Caddo, Kiowa and Washita...are now eligible for individual and public assistance.

Baltimore and Buffalo were winners on Monday night with each team keeping its playoff hopes alive. Here is a recap of the night's action:
"Sleeping on the job" is a phrase that is not positive. It's often preceded by "He was fired for" and can make you the butt of jokes for years to come. But maybe it shouldn't be such a bad thing.
The New York Giants may be immersed in a lost season, but there's a glimmer of hope in electric wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. The rookie from LSU made a you-have-to-see-it-to-believe-it catch for a touchdown during the G-Men's 31-28 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night that some are saying is the best grab ever.
There weren't a lot of big-time games this week, but that didn't mean we couldn't have one big upset and another record-breaking performance.
Derek Carr threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to James Jones with 1:42 to play, and the Raiders shocked the Kansas City Chiefs, 24-20, in Oakland on Thursday night.
Wondering when all those big stores will be opening and offering those massive discounts this Black Friday?
As the NFL heads into the final six weeks of the 2014 season, the hottest teams will try to keep their win streaks alive. Here are the most interesting storylines for Week 12:
You may have heard Buffalo was slammed this week with a snowstorm the likes of which you don't usually see outside the Arctic Circle. One NFL player used the opportunity to play with his kids.
It should be a relatively quiet week in college football, but this season has taught us to expect the unexpected.

I have been a fan of Murad products for a long time,but had never used this specific one. A friend reccomended it as she found it helped for her uneven skin areas. After a couple of weeks of use I saw results, but after one month I saw a huge difference in the uneven darker pigmentation areas on my face - in that they were fading. I heard how great Vitamin C really is for fine lines, discloration etc and would agree. Also love how smooth the product goes on and you don't need a lot. I probably could only use it once a day,but have been using twice. Would reccomend.

This is the only product I have used on my face where my skin really got irritated (I've tried various serums, including vitamin C serums/additives from philosophy and Lancome and even prescription Renova). This surprised me because of Murad's reputation and my good luck with their pomegranate line of skin care. I tried using it less often, taking a break and coming back to it, nothing worked. No matter the circumstances, this product irritated my skin. I found that so disappointing because of the steep price tag. Unless you are confident this will work for you, I strongly recommend trying to get a sample and using it for a few days before dropping the money on it.

Ryan Hanigan: The Reds' Rodney Dangerfield
SEP 12, 2012 7:06p ET
When it comes to respect outside of Cincinnati, Hanigan makes Rodney Dangerfield seem like The Man of the Year.
Not long ago, a sports network polled fans with the question: "What catcher can a contending team least afford to lose?" There were five choices and Hanigan smiled and said, "Let me guess, I wasn't one of the five choices."
No, he wasn't. But Hanigan has come to expect it.
Never mind that Cincinnati pitchers have a 3.01 earned average, the best ERA for a catcher in the majors, when he's behind the plate.
Never mind that he throws out 42 percent of runners trying to steal, one of baseball's best percentages.
Never mind that the Reds have a .651 winning percentage when Hanigan catches, 50 points higher than the team's .601 winning percentage for all games.
Never mind that (through Tuesday night) he is hitting .290 and has more walks (39) than strikeouts (33), something he does every year.
"Hanigan is not a household name for the people," manager Dusty Baker said. "In the modern game most people see offense on everything.
"You lose games on defense and it is especially important for a catcher. Especially important. It is a tremendous confident factor for the pitcher to know that he can bounce a pitch and it is going to stay right there in front of the catcher. Hanigan is great at that.
"And Hanigan will throw you out and he calls a good game. He has had to work for everything he has got. He was an undrafted free agent and it is tough to make it that way."
Hanigan played at Rollins College and was unnoticed, then Reds scout John Brickley spotted him play in the amateur Cape Cod League in 2002 and signed him.
"He didn't have any money invested in him so he had to impress and he still had to wait his turn," Baker said. "He had to jump over some guys, but I liked him the first day I saw him camp."
Baker likes to conduct skull sessions, ask his players what to do in different situations and he said, "I had to quit looking at Hanigan, look the other way, because he had all the answers. He never misses a sign from the bench and he knows all the bunt plays — the little things that go unnoticed that you have to do to win.
"The first day I met him, he promptly told me, 'I'm the only guy in the organization who has more walks than strikeouts.'"
A scout from another major league team loved Hanigan from the first day he saw him and implored his general manager to try to trade for him.
"When the Reds extended his contract during spring training last year, my GM told me, 'This is the best day of the year for me,'" the scout said. "I asked him why and he said, 'Because the Reds extended Hanigan's contract and now I don't have to listen to you tell me every day that we should try to get him.'"
If Hanigan is bothered by the lack of identity, he doesn't show it. He was sitting at Joey Votto's locker before Tuesday's game when a writer approached and he said, "I can be Joey Votto, if you want me to be. I can imitate him."
Hanigan was surprised to learn the writer wanted him, not Votto.
"I don't worry about that aspect of things of recognition. I worry about what matters in terms of games," he said. "I worry about my teammates. If we keep having success and winning games then people will take notice of all of us, not just me or any one player.
"I'm proud of our guys and with what we've done despite missing Votto for so long and a lot of guys out of our bullpen. We've seen guys step up and no guy on this team wants more credit than the next guy."
Hanigan, 32, is a 6-0, 208-pounder and even more so than most catchers is known as a down-and-dirty guy. You know if his uniform isn't brown after a game, he didn't play.
"I take pride in my job and base it on the success that our pitching has," Hanigan said. "That's the huge part of winning games and you have value that and put a lot of work into it. That's what I do. Make sure the guys are always doing what they are supposed to do — pitch smart, be aggressive. It has paid off."
Hanigan, though, is extremely proud of the fact he has the lowest catcher's ERA in baseball.
"Yeah, that's a big stat," he said. "People tell me this stuff because I don't go looking for numbers. But I heard that one and I was very proud of that one because it shows a unity with the guys. They lean on me, don't shake me off very often and they have confidence in my preparation."
When his astounding percentage of throwing out baserunners was mentioned, Hanigan finally couldn't resist and said with a broad grin, "Yeah, I've always been a pretty damn good defensive catcher."
Of that, nobody can argue, and if a sports network doesn't think so, at least one of his pitchers does. Said Bronson Arroyo, "Nobody talks about him, but he is one of the most important players on this team."
