24 year old woman | Nashua, NH, USA | Seeking men 24-30 within 50 miles of Tyngsboro, MA
Sexy, Fierce, and Feisty ;)
Hey guys! I'm Alexandra, I'm a very confident, outgoing, and positive person who loves having an optimistic attitude. I come from a large Portuguese family and they are all very important to me and I will go out of my way to take care of the ones I love.I have been very active with opportunities in both the Federal and State government. Last summer I completed an internship in Washington, DC where I interned for the Executive Office of the President. Then this year I just completed an internship with the Department of Health Human Services Office of Investigations. Thankfully, due to all my hard work and dedication I just got a job working in the State government. My goal is to be a special agent and I am definitely going to make it happen ;) Overall, I'm extremely driven and will work hard to achieve success. I am a very loyal individual who appreciates helping others and being a mentor to someone in need. I've always believed in helping others first and by positively changing someone's life is where I will get my true fulfillment. I am definitely an extrovert, so you will always find me with a smile on my face and a personality that will put a smile on yours. I love to be sarcastic so it's definitely a plus if you have a fun sense of humor. I also love going on spontaneous road trips, listening to music, going to the beach, concerts, sports games( I was a basketball player so take me to a Celtics game and we will have an amazing time!) , drawing, laughing, and spending time with loved ones. Working out is also very important to me, I just completed P90X and am currently doing Insanity. My goal is to do a tough mudder one day :) I've always been there for others so it would be nice to find a man who will be there for me. Someone who will be faithful and not play games. I'm not here to be someone's "hookup". I want to be someone's other half. Therefore, I think communication is huge in a relationship and I respect a man who is open with his feelings. I love a guy who is outgoing, can hold a conversation, make me laugh, and is confident in his goals. I want that best friend who will be active with me during the day and can enjoy a home cooked meal with me at night. Plus who doesn't like having a cuddle buddy during movie nights ;) Feel free to message me and get to know me more, don't be shy :)

For 9 years, the Troops For Trees program has been providing soldiers at Ft. Sill with donated Christmas trees.
This holiday season local store employees say they are selling more artificial trees rather than real trees.
Some of you may not take down your Christmas tree until 2014, and when you do, the city of Wichita Falls Sanitation Department has set up four locations for easy disposal of the evergreen.
The nearly 80 foot tall Norway Spruce will be lit tonight outside New York's Rockefeller Center.
Sunday is the last day for Wichita Falls resident to drop off their live Christmas trees at two local parks.
Sunday is the last day for Wichita Falls resident to drop off their live Christmas trees at two local parks.
Bill Hornbacher's Christmas spirit is easy to see...he has 19 trees inside his Nebraska home.
Don't let unseen visitors put a bite on your Christmas cheer.
This year's lighting of the Rockefeller Christmas Tree represents much more than the start of the Holiday season.
For those seeking a glow to their Christmas this year, a jewelry store in downtown Tokyo has just the answer: a pure gold revolving "tree" covered in Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Tinker Bell and Cinderella.
Town residents upset with $30,000 artificial tree.

Top Teachers: Janet Givens
Echo Lake E.S., first grade
Officially, Janet Givens teaches first grade at Echo Lake Elementary School. Unofficially, she teaches creativity.
Givens' classroom is a wonderland of ingenuity, a place where students learn the same lessons in a multitude of different ways. Students often lead their peers in lessons on her classroom Promethean board or create scrapbooks from field trip experiences. Mind-bender games challenge their knowledge.
During a popular lesson about the solar system, Givens takes her students outside to draw a 15-foot sun in chalk on the pavement, then uses a golf ball to represent the size of Earth.
"The visual perception of the concept will forever be embedded in my son's head," wrote one woman who nominated Givens.
Givens – who gave up a career in interior design and retail merchandising to become a teacher 15 years ago – traces the roots of her own creativity to her great aunt, an art teacher who instilled much of it in her at a young age.
"I like thinking of news ways to do things, or unusual ways – ways the kids relate to," she said. "I just really try to be me in my classroom, and part of me is, a lot of times, doing things a little bit differently."
Givens earned National Board Certified Teacher status in 2004 – an involved process that requires teachers to develop an extensive portfolio and complete several assessment exercises. She has taught first grade at Echo Lake since the school opened in 1999. She works to develop a personal connection with each student, believing that in turn they'll open up to her and be more eager to learn.
"I like to try to find that one little special thing that makes a child unique or challenging or special," she said.
Her efforts haven't gone unnoticed among parents.
"She recognizes the wide ability range of children in her class and manages to incorporate the advanced essentials of curriculum yet still meet the needs of those requiring a 'second helping,' one nominator wrote.
Givens is a regular participant in recess – "I'm usually the pitcher for kickball," she admitted – and considers one of her most meaningful teaching moments to be one that came outside the classroom. A student had earned the reward of running a mile with her after school, but he had difficulty convincing himself he could finish.
"That whole time I kept telling him, 'One foot in front of the other, you can do this – we're not going to stop, you can do this' – and he did," he recalled. "It was the best mile I ever ran with him. It's something that I carry with me."
Short Pump Rotary volunteers help with rebuild, repair
On June 13, the Short Pump Rotary Club partnered with Schnabel Engineering for a day of volunteer work with Rebuilding Together Richmond. Team members (among them [from left] Chris Rufe, Melissa Abraham, Rick Naschold, and Micky Ogburn) completed a variety of repairs and home improvements ranging from painting and landscaping to cabinet installation and fence building.
"It was a privilege to be involved in this project," said club president Melissa Abraham. "The homeowner kept thanking the volunteers, but I think all of us would agree we are the ones who actually benefited. It was an opportunity to help a community member, fellowship with great people and improve our handyman skills." > Read more.
'Proof of Heaven' coming to Glen Allen
Dr. Even Alexander, a New York Times best-selling author who has been featured on Oprah and Dr. Oz, was in town last week to promote his June 27 talk, "Proof of Heaven," at Glen Allen High School.
Alexander (pictured, at right, while Unity of Bon Air church member Harry Simmons interviews him) has written about what he considers to be his journey through the afterlife.
Tickets to this month's event are $25 and will support the new Bon Secours Hospice House being built later this year. > Read more.

Pixar's 'Inside Out' is a magnificent, emotional ride
Explaining the nuts and bolts of Pixar's new, exciting, innovative Inside Out – really digging into the film's shape-and-color explanation of the human mind – would take up the entirety of this review. And probably three or four more (if movies had instruction manuals, Inside Out's would be the size and general poundage of a cinder block).
It's a complicated movie. So here's the gist, in as simply-put terms can be. > Read more.

Better to be a beggar in freedom," he cried out, "than to be forced into compromises against my conscience.
The landays in I Am the beggar of the World are sung only when men are absent.
I am the beggar of the World is a book of poems, war reportage, and photographs.
c.1200, from Old French begart, originally a member of the Beghards, lay brothers of mendicants in the Low Countries, from Middle Dutch beggaert "mendicant," of uncertain origin, with pejorative suffix (see -ard). Cf. Beguine. Early folk etymology connected the English word with bag. Form with -ar attested from 14c., but begger was more usual 15c.-17c. The feminine form beggestere is attested as a surname from c.1300. Beggar's velvet was an old name for "dust bunnies." "Beggers should be no choosers" is in Heywood (1562).
"reduce to poverty," mid-15c., from beggar (n.). Related: Beggared; beggaring. Figurative use by 1640s.

Gear Review
Blown Away
This seemed like a good idea with some pretty impressive features: very light but extremely roomy, side entry, using trekking poles for support and a front awning large enough to cook under in a rain! Unfortunately wind is a big factor. If you know were it is coming from it is tolerable, but the wind has a tendency to shift around. I made the mistake of orienting it such that the vertical front side ended up facing into a gale. It filled up like a spinnaker sail on an America's Cup yacht, pulling out most of the stakes and flinging my trekking poles yards away. I can't tell you how much fun it is to be sitting inside a flapping orange bag at 2 a.m. in a thunderstorm! I donated it to charity immediatley on my return.

NCAA Women's Golf Regional Day One
May 11, 2012
IRVING, Texas - Conference USA champion No. 31 Tulsa finished day one of the NCAA West Regional as part of a three-way tie for seventh place, while No. 35 Tulane and No. 38 UCF sit in seventh and 10th place, respectively, at the East Regional. East Carolina wrapped up opening round play at the Central Regional.
Tulsa carded a score of nine-over par 297 at the par-72 Colorado National Golf Club.
Tulsa freshman Anna Young turned in the best round for the Hurricane with a one-under par 71 and sits in fourth place after the first 18 holes.
After bogeying her first hole of the day, the par-4 10th hole, Young birdied holes 12, 14 and 17 for her first nine holes to finish even-par on her first nine holes after two more bogeys. Young was one-over par heading into her final two holes of the day before sinking birdie putts on the par-4 eighth hole and par-3 ninth hole.
Tulane junior Maribel Lopez Porras and freshman Gemma Dryburgh each combined for an even-par effort and the 35th-ranked Green Wave carded a 10-over 298 total and sits in seventh place following the opening round of the 2012 NCAA East Regional at the Penn State Blue Course in State College, Penn.
Porras and Dyrburgh are each tied for sixth place.
UCF freshman Monifa Sealy delivered a strong even-par performance in on first day of the NCAA East Regional on the Blue Course at Penn State. The No. 38 Knights are currently 10th overall (+13) and just five shots back from fourth place.
Starting on the first hole of the 6,253 par-72 course, Sealy managed a birdie on both the front and back nine to tie her for sixth place overall in the tournament. The even par performance by the Glencoe, Trinidad and Tobago native is the eighth time she has either been at par or under during a round in her first season on campus.
East Carolina competed during the opening round of the 2012 NCAA Central Regional posting a 41-over par 329 and currently sits in 24th place after 18 holes. The three-day, 54-hole tournament is being played at the par-72, 6,264-yard Scarlet Course and is hosted by Ohio State.

LED Phosphor Intellectual Property (IP) LED Phosphors and Down-Converters Patent Investigation Report 2013
- Language: English
- 281 Pages
- Published: September 2013
- Region: Global
Growth of the LED industry has come initially from the small display application and has been driven forward by the LCD display application. In 2012, General Lighting has surpassed all other applications, representing nearly 39% of total revenue of packaged LEDs. Indeed, the LED TV crisis of 2011 (following an overestimation of the market) had the benefit of decreasing LED prices and intensifying the competitive environment. As a matter of fact, LED-based lighting product prices have decreased more rapidly than expected, increasing the penetration rate of the technology.
Yole Développement estimates packaged LED will reach a market size of $13.9B in 2013 and will peak to $16B by 2018. Growth will be driven mainly by General Lighting applications (45% to 65% of total revenue during this period), completed by display applications.
Regarding display and other applications, most products currently on the market integrate LED technology. Saturation mixed with strong price pressure and competition from OLED will make most of these markets decline starting from 2013 / 2014. Contrary to General Lighting, overcapacity (inducing price pressure) has engendered a decrease in market size more rapidly than predicted.
The report presents all applications of LED and associated market metrics within the period 2008-2020, detailing for each application: drivers & challenges, associated volume and market size (packaged LED, LED die surface), penetration rate of LEDs, and alternative technologies (…). For General Lighting, a deeper analysis is developed with details on each market segment.
Cost represents the main barrier LEDs must overcome to fully compete with incumbent technologies. Since 2010, the price of packaged LEDs have sharply decreased, which has had the consequence of decreasing the price of LED-based lighting products.
However, to maintain the growth trajectory, more efforts are needed in terms of price. LED still has some potential for cost reduction, but widespread adoption will also require manufacturers to play on all components of the system (drivers, heat sink, PCB…).
The report presents LED-based lighting product cost reduction opportunities, detailing: cost structure of packaged LED and LED lamps, key technologies and research areas (…).
Over the past 3 years (2010 to 2012), the number of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) has continuously grown, reflecting the increased consolidation of the LED industry. During this period, we have listed ~60 significant M&A deals. And 17 additional deals have already been identified during H1-2013.
Main objectives of these deals are:
1. Vertical integration
A consistent trend in the LED space, reinforced by the promising boom of general lighting applications. Such deals are motivated by the need for companies to access to new technologies, to close knowledge gaps in the LED supply chain, secure supply (…).
2. Strategic acquisition
The LED lighting market remains highly fragmented in all regions of the world (i.e., local features of fixtures…). In this environment, strategic acquisitions are mainly motivated by economies of scale, desire for improved market share, access to a wider customer portfolio, and increase the sales force (…).
3. Geographical acquisition
Mergers and acquisitions, rather than organic growth, have proved to be the main market-entry strategy by overseas acquirers. Such deals have been driven primarily by companies seeking access to new markets and local distribution networks.
The number of M&A deals is likely to continue to grow as LED technology has created a Solid State Lighting (SSL) chasm, modifying all traditional aspects of the lighting industry (light source, system design, test…) and forcing supply chain players to acquire new competencies.
The report presents the LED industry, detailing: evolution of supply and value chain, reactor capacity by region, analysis of M&A deals (…).
Sapphire (and SIC) remain the most widely used substrates for GaN epitaxy but many research teams are working on finding better alternatives in terms of performance and total cost of ownership. In that context, Si and GaN are the main new substrates developed in the LED industry:
- Benefits of GaN-on-Si LEDs rely on decreasing manufacturing cost by using cheaper Silicon substrate but mainly by switching to an 8" substrate and using fully depreciated and highly automated CMOS fabs.
- Benefits of GaN-on-GaN LEDs stem from the lower defect density in the epitaxial layers, allowing the device to be driven at higher current levels and to use a lower number of LED devices per system.
However, several barriers need to be overcome:
- GaN-on-Si LEDs are closer to GaN-on-Sapphire LED performance but increased manufacturing yields and full compatibility with CMOS fab still need to be achieved.
- GaN-on-GaN LEDs suffer from GaN substrate availability and its cost.
While GaN (GaN-on-GaN LEDs) holds some potential on specific high-end niches, we consider Silicon (GaN-on-Si LEDs) as the more serious contender as a potential alternative to the widespread use of Sapphire. But the success of GaN-on-Si LEDs will depend on the development of associated LEDs performance and development of manufacturing techniques.

Name craters on Mercury!
Cris, thank you for posting this. I will be sharing this with my middle school students. It looks like something several of them would be interested in participating in. Often I hear them complain about the name of something. Now they have a chance of making history. As a teacher, I am particularly excited students will have to some research as part of the naming process. This is a ...

Science Study Logs
Shalen, your post caught my attention because I have never used study logs, but have heard of them. The first question that comes to my mind is what do you hope to gain from the students using the study logs? I use graphing notebooks in my Design and Engineering and Science classes and for the first time have gone away from scoring them myself. Instead, I am creating a half sheet with q...

NGSS Virtual Conference Archive: NGSS Practices in Action
Just in Time NGSS PD, Priceless
I left this conference with a much greater understanding of NGSS and how others are incorporating the new standards in their classrooms. While all of the sessions were outstanding and the available resources helped promote deeper understanding, I was particularly drawn to the sessions on "Modeling" with Cynthia Passmore and "Explanation and Argumentation," by Jonathon Osborne. I have had so many questions the past year as I have tried to grasp the implications of NGSS on my middle school classroom, I am feeling more confident I am headed in the right direction. These sessions would make for wonderful PD opportunities. This is one conference I am looking forward to revisiting several times. As I grow, these sessions grow with me
The Justin Time Challenge
Time Challenge
This would be an interesting challenge to put to my middle school Design and Engineering students. I like the idea of the challenge, but am wondering how many solutions there are. Immediately my mind went to pendulums, though I don't know how you could keep the pendulum swinging throughout the entire song. The other thought was a metronome type of device, which would be more challenging for students to figure out how to construct. The advantage would be, once you had the mechanical piece working, it would not, or at least should not decay over time. I would have liked to have seen some actual photos of completed student designs created for this challenge. I would also have liked to see some sort of rubric for scoring and questions that might be posed to students as they went through the challenge, both to move progress forward and cause students to think about the process as well as the science behind their solutions.
Designing Earthquake-Resistant Structures: Integrating Science and Engineering Practices
Earthquake Resistant Structures
This article provided a fair amount of time setting up how to have the students create a model of a building and testing it for its durability in an earthquake. Sixth graders tended to like this activity better than the seventh or eighth graders, most likely because of the experiences I had given them that were similar to this activity. The greatest revelation to the students was the fact the structure with the rolling foundation support proved to be the most resistant. In fact, they thought they had done something wrong initially, so they retested it several times to validate what they saw was indeed true. I would have liked to have seen some actual photos of completed student designs both before and after they were tested.

Ptarmigan Lake is now iced off and fishable. Figure that cutthroats will be more occupied with spawning than feeding for a little while. Still, they will eat and the scenery up there is fantastic!
Just east of Jones Mountain on the Gladstone Ridge separating the Middle and South Forks of Cottonwood Creek, Ptarmigan Lake (about 12,000 ft) provides intrepid hikers with some exercise, spectacular scenery, and the chance at some significant high elevation cutthroats. With trails accessing it from both the north and south, Ptarmigan gets a fair bit of mid-summer traffic. But for those able to hit it soon after ice-out, usually near the end of June, the lake provides some memorable days of fishing. Ptarmigan is also a good indicator lake – conditions there are generally reflective of other lakes of similar elevation in the middle Sawatch Range.

Back on dribbble with a new shot of an old piece. I left this one by the wayside for quite awhile just because I couldn't settle with anything I was entirely pleased with. But, with a fresh set of eyes and the expertise of one @Matt Kauzlarich, I was able to crank this one out in my spare time, and it's safe to say that I'm finally happy with it.

ANNAPOLIS -- Crisfield officials who sought an exemption from a new state ethics law had "a partially successful day" before the Maryland State Ethics Commission on Thursday.
Commission members agreed to exempt the city from requirements for lobbyists, but left the rest intact, said Robin Cockey, the city's attorney who presented the case.
"That's real nice, but we couldn't afford (a lobbyist) anyway," said Mayor Percy Purnell. "This is what I expected. They've turned down small cities than we are." ...

EDITOR'S NOTE: Right on Patrick Cockburn! This is the aim of Western propaganda agencies in pursuit of the initial Zionist plans outlined by Theo Hertzl over a hundred years ago. It is false reporting, and it is not working.
"Scoundrel media wars rage against Syria. People are being systematically lied to and manipulated to accept more war. Western-recruited proxies wage it no-holds barred. They specialize in gruesome atrocities. Managed news reports suppress them." writes prominent journalist and radio host Stephen Lendman
It is no surprise that the Western Media will rewrite current events, emphasizing some, omitting others in order to effectively show or create schisms whether imagined, created or real, between various Islamic factions in order to weaken them, or to justify Western forces and Western interests to attack and destroy them in some "weakened " state of disrupted state of Islamic affairs. A functional State in Syria is a dangerous threat to Israeli plans for Lebanon and Hizbullah, and Syria must go. Think cui bono, and you will not have to dig much deeper for What? Who? and Why?
An armed and stable Syria is a threat to any militant or belligerent plans which Israel might have for Lebanon or Hizbullah, therefore Syria must go. If this means heads must roll then let the heads roll!
America and American policies have long been noted for their ability to alienate long term long time friends and especially former or potential strong and beneficial allies.
It seems to have been afflicted with some sort of political/diplomatic suicide syndrome.

Syrian Contradictions
When I arrived in the capital at the start of the month I asked a friend about the mood and he said: "Fifteen per cent for the government, 15 per cent against and 70 per cent want this war over before it ruins us all."
by Patrick Cockburn
"Shame on you!" boomed the voice of a Syrian intellectual in my phone half an hour after I had returned from Damascus to Beirut. He was so incoherent in his rage that it was difficult to know his precise objections, but my sin seemed to be that I had been in Damascus, talked to members of the Syrian government and concluded that it was not going to collapse any time soon.
Our conversation was not of a high intellectual calibre. After an acerbic exchange, I asked why, if he felt so strongly, did he "not stop being rude to people like me, go to Aleppo and fight beside the rebels instead of spending all your time in the cafés of Beirut". Shortly afterwards, there was a mutual clicking-off of mobiles.
Driving the short distance between Damascus and Beirut is like shifting from one planet to another. What seems obvious and commonsensical in the Syrian capital becomes controversial and a minority viewpoint over the border in Lebanon. Outside Syria there have been repeated media and diplomatic forecasts of imminent victory for the rebels and defeat for Bashar al-Assad. Ignored in this speculation is the important point that Assad's forces still hold, wholly or in large part, all the main cities and towns of Syria.
The difference in perceptions inside and outside Damascus is explained partly by the way the international and regional media describes the war. There are few foreign journalists in the Syrian capital because it is difficult to get visas. By way of contrast, the rebels have a highly sophisticated media operation – often also foreign-based – proffering immediate details of every incident, often backed up by compelling, if selective, YouTube footage.
Understandably, the rebel version of events is heavily biased towards their own side and demonizes the Syrian government. More surprising is the willingness of the international media, based often in Beirut but also in London and New York, to regurgitate with so little skepticism what is essentially good-quality propaganda. It is as if, prior to the US presidential election in November, foreign journalists had been unable to obtain visas to enter the US and had instead decided to rely on Republican Party militants for their information on the campaign – moreover, Republican activists based in Mexico and Canada.
It is true that there is the rumble of artillery in Damascus, but the city is not besieged. The roads north to Homs and south to Deraa are open, as is the road to Beirut. When the rebels do capture a district, government artillery pounds it, killing some and forcing others to flee. For those living in undamaged areas of the capital, there is an ever-growing fear of what the future holds, combined with increasing difficulties in day-to-day living because of cuts in electricity and a shortage of bread and cooking gas.
The rebels are making some progress on the ground but, overall, Syrians face a political and military stalemate. The rebels' assaults on Aleppo and Damascus have faltered, but the government forces do not have the strength to push them out of enclaves they have taken over. In the north, in particular, the rebels are making ground in the countryside around Hama, Idlib and Aleppo, but their advance is still slow.
The revolution has turned into a civil war. The uprising of Syrians against a cruel police state that started in March 2011 increasingly looks to Alawites, Christians, Druze and other minorities like a sectarian campaign aimed at their elimination. They watch YouTube pictures of Alawite officers being ritually decapitated and wonder what fate awaits them if Assad is defeated.
On top of this, there is a simple fear of anarchy on the part of middle-class urban Syrians who have seen Aleppo devastated and believe the same will happen to Damascus. When I arrived in the capital at the start of the month I asked a friend about the mood and he said: "Fifteen per cent for the government, 15 per cent against and 70 per cent want this war over before it ruins us all."
Can the present stalemate be broken? It does not really look like it unless the rebels receive a massive transfusion of money, training and guns, and this would not immediately have a decisive impact. Alternatively, Washington and London have long been hoping for a split in the Syrian leadership, but this has not happened. Even a string of well-publicized defections in recent weeks has not come from the core of the regime.
The furies of civil war grow ever fiercer. The war has long ago reached the stage of what in Northern Ireland we used to call "the politics of the last atrocity", in which too much blood is being spilled to allow for negotiation and compromise.
The policy of the US and its allies is increasingly bizarre: on the one hand, they recognize the opposition National Coalition as the legitimate government of Syria but, on the other, they label its most effective fighting force, the al-Nusra Front, as "a terrorist organization" linked to al-Qa'ida. Just as in Iraq after 2003, Syria has become a magnet for jihadi fighters across the Muslim world. Washington is showing ever-decreasing enthusiasm for an outright rebel military victory that would strengthen jihadi militants and dissolve the governing machinery of the Syrian state.
A problem for Syria in this crisis is that so many conflicts are wrapped into one. Secular supporters of the uprising emphasize that it is about "the people against the regime". They downplay its sectarian nature, saying this is being exaggerated and manipulated by the government. But sectarianism and democracy are intertwined in Syria, just as they were in Iraq. In Iraq, a fair election meant rule by the Shia majority replacing the Sunni. In Syria, it means rule by the 70 per cent of the population who are Sunni replacing the Alawites and their allies. In both countries, democratic change has had, or will have, explosive sectarian consequences, because majority rule means a change in which community holds power.
The Syrian crisis is further complicated and exacerbated by being at the centre of two long-running regional struggles. These are [1] the growing confrontation between Sunni and Shia across the Muslim world and, secondly, the conflict that pits the US, Israel, Saudi Arabia and their allies against Iran and its few friends.
It is difficult to see how the present stalemate is going to be broken. Damascus, Aleppo and Homs feel increasingly like Beirut during the 15-year civil war. Parts of these cities cling to normal life while, a few blocks away, snipers have their hideouts in buildings shattered by artillery fire. Neither side has the strength to checkmate the other. Warlords, small and big, become the real rulers of the country. In Aleppo, the commercial heart of Syria, the rebels' main preoccupation is looting the city. The militarization of the uprising is degrading its original democratic purpose. Barring full-scale foreign intervention, a negotiated settlement is becoming inevitable though it may be a long time coming.
PATRICK COCKBURN is the author of "Muqtada: Muqtada Al-Sadr, the Shia Revival, and the Struggle for Iraq.
Ed.Note: It appears that author and journalist Webster Tarpley's analysis about what is behind all the noise and smoke in Syria is much more close to what I have said, on the subject of America's ongoing lies and propaganda.
Debbie Menon
Her main focus are the US-Mid-East Conflicts. Her writing has been featured in several print and online publications in the Middle East. She is committed to exposing(AIPAC) the Israel Lobby's control of American policy for the Middle East. Control which amounts to treason by the Zionist Lobbies in America and its stooges in Congress, and that guarantees there can never be a peaceful resolution of the Middle East conflicts, only catastrophe for all, in the region and the world.
Her focus is Israel's drift towards greater oppression of the Palestinian people; the political deceptions and crisis in Syria and Ukraine; the cold hard facts about America's so-called 'war on terror' and grim future; countering the propaganda war towards Iran & Russia and calling attention to, the new, developing, promising, strategic alliances as a consequence.
Her mission is to inform and educate the public on issues of the US/Middle East conflicts that are unreported, underreported, or distorted in the Zionist ownedAmerican Media.
Her writing reflects the incredible resilience, almost superhuman steadfastness of the occupied and oppressed Palestinians, who are now facing the prospect of a final round of ethnic cleansing.
Her mission is to inform and educate internet viewers seeking unfiltered information about real events on issues of the US/Middle East conflicts that are unreported, underreported, or distorted in the American media.
Her purpose is to look at the current reality from a different and critical perspective, not to simply rehash the pro-US/Israel perspective, smoke and mirrors that has been allowed to utterly and completely dominate Mainstream discourse.
PS: For those of her detractors that think she is being selective and even "one sided," tough, that is the point of her work, to present an alternative view and interpretation of the US-Israel-Middle East conflict, that has been completely ignored in mainstream discourse and denied the US public. Oh, and she is not Muslim or Palestinian and not married to one either! She is practicing Roman catholic.

Mike Ribeiro C NAS 2 months ago
Ribeiro collected two assists in Friday's Game 2 win over Chicago.
A good offensive outing for Ribeiro, who has just 27 points in 50 career NHL playoff games. With the series tied 1-1, look for Ribero's line with Filip Forsberg and Craig Smith to continue to play a big role up front. With 62 points in 82 regular-season games, it looks like Ribeiro has carried that success right into his sixth career NHL postseason.
Mike Ribeiro C NAS 3 months ago
Ribeiro recorded the game-winning goal and an assist in Saturday's win over the Capitals.
It's the second two-point effort in three games for Ribeiro, who also had a two-helper performance Tuesday versus the Canadiens. The move to Nashville continues to prove fruitful for Ribeiro, who has notched 15 goals and 59 points over 76 games in his first season with the Predators.
Mike Ribeiro C NAS 3 months ago
Ribeiro had the primary assists on Ryan Ellis's game-tying goal in the third period and Filip Forsberg's power-play winner in overtime Tuesday against Montreal.
The big night ended a six-game scoreless skid for Ribeiro, who's seen his production -- so strong for the season's first four months -- fall off precipitously in February and March. Fantasy owners won't exactly complain, since Ribeiro's production has increased over last yer and he's likely to hit 60 points for the first time since 2011-12, but late-season slumps are fantasy-team murder.
Mike Ribeiro C NAS 4 months ago
Ribeiro notched his 13th goal of the season in Thursday's loss to the Islanders.
Ribeiro was able to get a forearm on Ryan Ellis' point shot with 10 minutes remaining in the third period, which ended up deflecting into the net to cut the Preds' deficit to one goal. Though the tally was fluky in nature, it still allowed Ribeiro's bounce-back season to rage on. The center has 13 goals and 40 assists over 66 games.
Mike Ribeiro C NAS 4 months ago
Ribeiro potted a power-play goal in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Sabres.
Ribeiro has gotten back into a groove lately as he's registered five points in his last five contests and seven in his last nine. The goal gives the 35-year-old his ninth 50-point season, but first since 2011-12.
Mike Ribeiro C NAS 4 months ago
Ribeiro rattled off a pair of assists and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.That's three helpers in the last two games for the veteran pivot, who'd collected just two points in the prior eight contests. Now that he's pulling out of it, he's again safe to deploy in fantasy lineups, although his owners probably stuck with him through the slump anyway.
Mike Ribeiro C NAS 4 months ago
Ribeiro assisted on Colin Wilson's game-winning goal late in the third period of Saturday's match against the Devils.There have been fewer better bargains in hockey this season than Ribeiro, who was forced to settle for a modest one-year, $1.05 million contract with the Preds in the summer after burning bridges with management in Arizona. Suffice to say, he's found a home under the leadership of Peter Laviolette, who plugged Ribeiro into a top-line role from Day 1 and has been reaping the dividends ever since. The 35-year-old ranks 10th in the league with 35 assists, and has an outside chance at reaching the 70-point mark for the first time since his prime years with the Stars.
Mike Ribeiro C NAS 5 months ago
Ribeiro took a break from scoring Friday, racking up 22 PIM in a loss to Colorado.
While Ribeiro has 43 points (33 assists) in 48 games this season, he is also now among the league's top-100 PIM leaders. Producing at basically a point-per-game pace and sporting a steady plus-15 rating, Ribeiro is worth owning in most formats.
Mike Ribeiro C NAS 5 months ago
Ribeiro dished out three assists and went plus-2 in Tuesday's win over Colorado.
In an unusual stretch for him, Ribeiro had gone three straight games without an assist, though he had tallied a goal in the Preds' final game before the All-Star break. He continues to be one of the more productive options at center, so keep rolling him out if you've got him.
Mike Ribeiro C NAS 5 months ago
Ribeiro accounted for the whole of the Preds' offense with his first goal since Dec. 16 in Tuesday's overtime loss to Montreal.
Despite his typical lack of goals -- in fact, he'd actually finished without even a shot on goal in five of the prior seven games -- Ribeiro has dished out plenty of assists to retain his typically solid fantasy value this year. He could hit 50 assists with a goal total in the high teens, which would add up to yet another terrific campaign for the crafty veteran center. Now if only he could win more draws -- he lost 12 of 16 Tuesday. This year's .424 winning percentage is among the lowest he's posted, and Ribeiro was never a good faceoff man in the first place.

WALLA WALLA — Gone are the days when Jeff Reinland's Walla Walla Community College men's basketball teams lived and died on their ability to sink 3-pointers.
And not necessarily to the coach's liking.
"It's not because we want it that way," said Reinland, a lifelong gym rat who made his basketball living filling it up from the perimeter during his playing days at Pomeroy High School, WWCC and Eastern Washington University.
And throughout his coaching career — he spent eight seasons in Washington's prep ranks at Leavenworth and Kelso before taking over the men's program at WWCC in 1993 — Reinland has done his best to develop and recruit players who could deliver the long bomb. Especially so because of the 3-point reward, a rule, by the way, that was not in place when Reinland was lighting up opposing defenses from downtown.
But a couple of things have happened recently that have eroded Reinland's coaching philosophy.
For one thing, the 3-point arc at the collegiate level was moved back a full foot last season. The official distance now is 20 feet, 9 inches, compared to 19-9 in previous years.
"It's too far for our level," Reinland said as a matter of fact. "It should be at a distance you are forced to defend, and I don't think it is now for most guys."
The second, Reinland suggested, is that fewer players coming out of high school are as dedicated to developing outside shooting skills as they once were.
"There simply aren't as many pure shooters as there used to be," Reinland said. "Kids aren't putting in the time anymore."
So it shouldn't come as a surprise to hear the words "strong" and "physical" repeated time and again when Reinland assesses the player he hopes can get the Warriors back to the NWAACC Championships for the first time in three years.
"I think we are going to be pretty good inside," Reinland said. "We have two legitimate guys who can score with their backs to the basket. They can rebound, and they are pretty versatile, so I feel good about that.
"I feel respectably good about our ability to shoot the ball. We have guys who can shoot it pretty well, and we have some other guys who can shoot it OK."
Reinland must replace four starters and a key reserve from last year's 14-12 team, including all-East center Ray Stout, who averaged 16 points and eight rebounds per game as a sophomore. Wing Cameron Stevens, who averaged 13 points and three rebounds, also graduated along with starting point guard LaKeith Gardner and wing players Tyler Bollman, who averaged 13 points a game, and Jim Williams.
Key returnees include 6-foot-10 center Emery Henning, who replaced and sometimes joined Stout in the paint; post D.J. Wright (6-5), another sometime-starter; Cody Fullerton (6-4), who saw some significant minutes as an undersized post; and wings Ben Searle (6-4), whose playing time increased as the season progressed, and Alex Roll (6-4), who also saw key minutes off the bench.
"Emery is a tremendously improved player," Reinland said of Henning. "He has put on about 30 pounds and is going to be a legitimate post presence for us all year long. He averaged 10 points and eight or nine boards as a freshman, and right now he has one of the starting post positions nailed down."
Wright averaged six rebounds, three points and several assists coming off the bench last year. Reinland expects more from him as a sophomore.
"He's a little bigger and a little stronger this year," the coach said. "He's a real good defender, and he should give us a lot more offensive output.
And he shows a lot of leadership.
"We have some good competition on this team and we will see what happens, but (Wright) has that year of experience under his belt and we expect more than what we got last year."
Reinland describes Fullerton as "an all-purpose guy" who won't provide a lot of offense but plays good defense in the post and will be a valuable reserve.
Searle, who actually started a few games as a freshman, averaged around nine points per game and turned in some 20-point nights late in the season.
"He is a good shooter and a good driver," Reinland said of Searle. "And he's a strong kid who rebounds well. He's been one of our top performers in practices and scrimmages, and we are expecting quite a bit from him."
Roll is another player who has looked good in practices, Reinland said.
"He saw some playing time last year and had some good moments," Reinland said. "He's battling for playing time at the wing."
Reinland holds his breath when he talks about point guard Ryan Andrews (6-2), who averaged 10 points and five assists a game two seasons ago but sat out all of last season with a knee injury. He's missed practice again this year because of the same injury but was scheduled to get his doctor's release this week.
"We haven't seen much of him, but we know he's a real strong kid, physically and mentally," Reinland said. "He's a little older and kind of a leader on the team. It all comes down to, is his knee going to hold up or not?
"He works as hard as any player I have coached here at Walla Walla. And if he can't play, it's a significant loss."
One of the players poised to step in and replace Andrews, if necessary, is redshirt freshman Dustin Moore (5-10), described by Reinland as the "only true point guard in the system."
"He was down a little bit on the depth chart coming into the season," Reinland said. "But if I had to play a game today, he would probably start.
He's quick, handles the ball well and knows how to quarterback a team. My biggest concerns are his size and his ability to shoot the ball — at times he shoots well, and at times he doesn't."
Four other redshirt freshmen and three true freshmen round out the roster. And Reinland has three others in practice who will be redshirted this season.
The redshirts from a year ago are guards Jason Smith (6-3) and Ryan Schulz (6-1), forward Dewey Baker (6-4) and Boris Vlaco (6-4), who can play either wing or forward and has even been considered as a potential point guard.
"He's a very versatile player," Reinland said of Vlaco. "But he tore his ACL last year and he isn't quite the same player he was. He's still not totally recovered, but his skills are very good."
Reinland describes Smith as "the best shooter on the team" and has penciled him in as his starting off guard.
"He can put it on the floor, stop and pull up to shoot," Reinland said. "My concern is his lateral quickness and his ability to defend, but he's a super dedicated basketball player."
Schulz is a well-built left-hander, Reinland said, who has also impressed in practices and scrimmages.
"He knows how to finish, and he's demonstrated an ability to hit that shot from the top of the circle," Reinland said.
And Baker, according to Reinland, is an athletic, multi-purpose player who rebounds and blocks shots, although his scoring ability is a little suspect.
"He's still a little behind, but by next year he is going to be a pretty good player," the coach said.
Of the three true freshmen, Aaron Corsi (6-7) of Saint Maries, Idaho, is expected to contribute the soonest.
"He is going to be a perfect compliment to Emery Henning, although I'm not convinced we can play them together very much," Reinland said. "But it's a 40-minute game, and I've always tried to have two (posts) to get us through those 40 minutes. Aaron's not as polished as Emery, but overall he's a better athlete, and we expect big things from him in the next two years."
Jordan Steele (6-6) is a Boise State University transfer from Pocatello, Idaho, who never played basketball for the Broncos. And Nate Gibson (6-0) of Eisenhower High in Yakima, who has been out of school for several years, is the younger brother of former Warrior Sam Gibson.
"Jordan has good size and can shoot the ball, but so far he hasn't demonstrated that to the degree that I thought he would," Reinland said. "Nate is a real quick, north-south player who has a lot to learn about organized ball. Sometimes he looks extremely good, and sometimes he struggles, but he is absolutely competing for playing time this year."
Beginning Friday night when the Warriors entertain Seattle CC in their 7:30 opener in the Dietrich Dome.

Jordan Adams scored 26 points, making all 16 of his free throws, and No. 13 UCLA edged UC Irvine 80-79 in overtime on Tuesday night in regional play of the Legends Classic. Will Davis II missed two free throws with 2 seconds left in regulation that would have sealed the upset for the Anteaters (1-1), who fell to 10-35 all-time against Pac-12 teams. Daman Starring tied the game on a 3-pointer and Michael Wilder's three gave the Anteaters a 79-78 lead with 22 seconds to go in the extra session. But Larry Drew II's layup with 17 seconds kept the Bruins (2-0) perfect at new Pauley Pavilion. David Wear added 13 points and nine rebounds, and his twin brother Travis had 12 points and eight rebounds for the Bruins. They will host James Madison on Thursday night in their second regional game before moving on to the championship rounds.

Nice article! Coffee is getting more and more popular in Japan. If you're still looking for a place to get good coffee beans, check out this coffee map map.abccoffee.co. It ranks good coffee shops in Japan according to Instagram. You can find one near you.
Selamat Datang, Danny. I have to say, your blog and life journey really inspires me.
I can't choose between this trio... Rin is so cute, but Makoto is adorable, and Haru is just such a wonderful (swimming) dork.
So , what I use materials that can be as big as a projector screen
Ah yes, perfect place to be obliterated by diabetes and sweetness!
"Children, feed me your trash."
Books and books everywhere! My kind of heaven!
Such an interesting name. I think it's rather creative that someone chose "Mozart" as bakery name instead of musical one. Perhaps this is a reference to Austrian sweet delicacy.
Is it normal to just walk around with green afro wig in Japan? Very interesting-looking, nevertheless!
This is rather interesting. People usually shy away from smoke. The only moment I know has someone waving smoke towards themselves is when I cook and my brother want to smell the food's aroma.
That's a cute and rather small bow... well, compared to the one I used back at school, where one has to run few laps before using it.
Is it strange that I really want to taste the blue one? Or perhaps the blue and pink one. That aside, I'm a big banana fan; banana smoothie, banana milk, and real banana. I will nom them all.
Wahhh! So awesome!
I want all the egg ones! They are all so adorable.
Look at this strange bunny-like and bread-like creature. It looks so confused. I want ten of it.
Such a beautiful and memorable sign!
I play tons of instruments because of extracurricular activities throughout my school year, except high school. But if there's one instrument I still play and love, it would be guitar from my classic guitar lesson. I used to play ensemble in group, though, so playing by myself now feels a little lonely.
Cool shop front! It will be very easy for customer to remember and recognise the shop.
This reminds me of Nakajima from RAVE, LOL. Only less creepy.
Such a cute sign!
looks badass!
"I have no idea what im doing".
Japanese schools seems so nice :3
When will Eijiclock appears? :3 it will be awesome!
Pretty doll princesses!
Look at dem tiny boots.
Wahhh this is such an adorable combination.
Summer attires! So adorable!
So lovely! I am sure I will get one of this if I were to own a doll.
I'm not a big fan of this type of bags myself, but they sure are lovely; both on real people and tiny dolls!
This is a nice one.
So cute!
What a beautiful Sakura ;3
Is that Jun? Yes, my kind of Ikemen.
Anpanman aired for sometime when I was a very young child in Indonesia. I remembered the happy-looking face.
"Please kill me." LOL, they are actually rather cute! I'd like to have some so I can gaze at them when I'm bored or tired.
Very interesting packaging.
This is so adorable! I'll take three.
Such a lovely-looking design! I love how it says 'fruity salad', like it's a salad made out of fruits instead of 'juice', 'smoothie', or other similar terms.
That looks so neat! It's interesting to know the process, in case one day I will get a job on thorough branding of a company, including for companies' vehicle.
Love the outfit!
Can someone elaborate me on why these things are very expensive? Is it the detailed craftsmanship? The component?
Oh God, I want him, I want him, I want him! If there are dolls from anime, I would like it very much if I can get some from animes like Shingeki no Kyojin, Hetalia, or Free!
A Kanata Smart Doll soon?
I'll take the frog one, please.
I need at least a dozen of these.
These bentos are so cute! I wish I can own at least one.
Lover of all things Japanese.

Those who live in the colder climates say that munching on gingerbread cookies in front of the fire and watching jumbo snowflakes coat the ground with a fresh, blank canvas is the best way to spend Christmas Eve. Obviously, they've never experienced sitting on the stoep in the warm evening or hustling through the crowds at the beach on Boxing Day. Celebrate the fact that a sunny, beach-weather Christmas is better than it's snowy cousin and save up to 60% on getting summer-ready with slimming treatments or waxing at the Skin and Body Improvement Clinic.
Like an unemployed younger sibling, your body's winter coat of extra-padding and hair can sometimes show up uninvited and just refuse to leave. Luckily, an afternoon in the Skin and Body Improvement Clinic promises to do just what it says on the tin. Staffed by a team of aestheticians with more experience under their stylish belts than the entire cast of an extreme makeover show and calmly nestled on Caledon road, the chic and trendy clinic is the perfect place to give yourself a bit of pampering and ensure that you're ready to grace the beach once all your Christmas gifts have been unwrapped.
Everyone is always saying that exercise is so important and that the gym is the perfect place to get healthy. What they don't seem to remember is that gyms can be scary places that can leave you and your tracksuit feeling out of place and demotivated. Luckily, with an electrotherapy slimming treatment from Skin and Body you can get well on your way to that bikini-body you dream of without shelling out for fancy work-out clothes or try to figure out exactly how all the new-fangled equipment works. Using pads placed over specific parts of the body, Electrotherapy stimulates normal exercise without you having to do much of anything. Causing the muscles to contract and relax, it's almost like the machine is tricking your body into thinking it's exercising. The electric impulses also help to break down cellulite and detoxify the body, with no need for drinking seaweed smoothies or wrapping yourself in boiled towels.
If it's excess limb-lint that's getting you down, console yourself with the fact that there are no follicles too wispy to avoid Skin and Body's waxen masters. The half-leg, bikini and underarm waxing takes care of the most obvious shave-worthy places and can shave some time off your morning shaving time. It can also ensure that you don't have to balance your urge to wear a knee-length dress or bikini to the beach with your dread of shaving.
Of course, 'tis the season to celebrate, so there's nothing stopping you from getting into the spirit and getting both. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who'd want to spend their Christmas eve snowy rather than smoother and slimmer.
Slimming Statistic: Scientists in Nicaragua have discovered that combining the liquid from inside a Magic 8 ball, a handful of sawdust from a dictionary factory, and half a litre of blue paint can create a body-scrub that helps users to lose weight.

Age really is just a number, and Lance Berkman —at the ripe old age of 37— has proven that so far this season.
The longtime Astros switch-hitting slugger won a world series title as a member of the Cardinals, and got off to a similarly hot start the same year they won it all. While it's still early in the season, Berkman is hitting .480 with a homer and seven RBIs, and is slugging an astounding .760.
Roberto Hernandez saw first hand the power that "Big Puma" still has, even this late in his career. Berkman laced a double right up the middle in the third inning, driving in two runs in the process and giving the Rangers a 2-1 lead that they would only add on to in the later innings.
Apart from giving up a two-run double to Berkman in the third, Hernandez had a particularly rough night on the mound: he gave up runs to Elvis Andrus and Adrian Belre in the fifth, and in the seventh gave up another run to Elvis Andrus. An errant throw by James Loney allowed Craig Gentry to score to make it a 6-1 ballgame.
Hernandez has never really found much success as a starter, other than his 2007 campaign with the Indians which put him in the middle of the Cy Young Award talks. Since '07, he has had trouble keeping his ERA below 4.50, and his career ERA is quite high at 4.64; tonight showed why it's that high. Location/command troubles were evident from the 10th pitch, and Hernandez was never able to recover after Berkman's two-run double.
The Rangers starter, Nick Tepesch, was making his major-league debut tonight, and he more than impressed the Rangers coaches. 7.1 Innings pitched, only 4 hits and a single earned run, with 3 walks and 5 strikeouts, and kept the Rays hitters off all night.
The final game in the series is tomorrow afternoon at 2:05 p.m., with Matt Moore taking on fellow lefty Derek Holland.
