In this course, author Adam Wilbert illustrates how to create and leverage real-world queries and turn raw data into usable information. The course covers setting up queries, performing calculations, using the built-in Access functions to further refine query results, and identifying top performers or areas for improvement based on a range of criteria.
When creating queries that include multiple tables, it's important to understand how those tables are related in order to get meaningful results. Typically, Access will be able to assist you in building these relationships if they're not previously defined. But there are occasions when you'll need to create or modify how your tables are grouped together. Let's take a look at a couple of examples. In the Chapter 2-6 group, let's go ahead and open that and we'll open up our Sales department query. You can see that we're getting Employee ID, FirstName, and the Department is Sales, and we have a total of 84 employees in the Sales department.
If we look at this in Design view, we'll see that we've got the Employee ID, FirstName and Department, and the Criteria Sales. So 84 employees in our Sales department. Keep that number in mind. Let's go ahead and close this query out. We'll open up this query MaySales. Here we've got the employee ID, FirstName, and the May sales figures. But you can see we only have 31 records here. What happened to all the other employees? Let's go into Design view and take a look at this. This query is constructed with the Employees table, the Orders table, and the Products table.
We have the Employee ID and the FirstName coming from the Employees table, the Price coming from the Products table, and the OrderDate coming from the Orders table. Under Criteria, we have >=#5/1/2010# And <=#5/31/ 2010#, basically all of May. Finally, in the Price column, we have the total of Sum. So it's adding up all of the prices over the course of May. So why when we run this aren't getting all of our employees in the sales department? Well, we're only getting the employees that actually had sales in the month of May.
If I double-click on the join line between tbl_Employees and tbl_Orders, we'll see that the default view is to only include rows where the joined fields from both tables are equal. So that's why our results are only showing sales numbers for the employees that actually had sales. We're not seeing anything for the employees that didn't have sales. Now, we can construct a single query that fixes this issue. But if we were to try and change this here to include all records from the tbl_Employees and only those records from tbl_Orders where the joined fields are equal, Access won't allow us to do that.
If I try and run this query, Access is going to give us an error saying the SQL statement could not be executed because it contains ambiguous outer joins. In order to fix this, we need to create another query and use this MaySales query as an input. Okay, let me show you what I mean. Let's go ahead and close this MaySales query. Now we don't need to save changes to those. We'll create a new query in Design view. Go to Create > Create Design. First, we'll add our Employees table, and then we'll switch the tab to Queries and we will choose qry_MaySales.
Go ahead and close the Show Table window and you'll see that Access has generated a join between EmployeeID and EmployeeID here. Let's add a couple of fields to our query. Let's add our EmployeeID, FirstName, Department, and our May sales figure from that query. Now, if I run that query right now, we'll see the same number of records, 31, that we saw in the previous query. Again, we're only displaying the employees that had figures for May.
Go back into Design view and let's go ahead and change this relationship between the employees and the query that we had built by double-clicking on the line. What we want is the option to include all records from the tbl_Employees and only those records from MaySales where the joined fields are equal. Now depending on which order you put your tables in, these two options might be reversed. So yours might be 3 or 2. But what we're looking for is we're including all records from the Employees table.
Access updates the join line to indicate the choices that we made with the arrow pointing to the MaySales field. If we run this query now, we're going to get all of our employees regardless of whether they had sales or not. Now we're getting 200 and this is not the 84 people in our Sales department. So we have one more thing that we need to change here. You can see that we're also getting employees in the Advertising or Human Resources departments and it makes sense that they wouldn't any sales for the month of May. So let's go ahead and filter them out in Design view. Under Department, I'll change my Criteria to Sales.
Now, when I run this query, I'll get all 84 people that are in the Sales department, and for the people that had sales in the month of May we'll get their totals. If they didn't have any sales in May, it'll be a blank field here in MaySales column. So understanding how your data tables relate to one another is a critical component to creating well-structured queries that give meaningful results.

Credit cards for people with bad credit
It is hard to get a credit card from a bank if you have bad credit history, luckily there are alternatives, so you can get a credit card, and not only that, you can use it to rebuild your credit over time.
Compare credit cards for bad credit:
- Ideal if you have a fair credit rating.
- Online account management.
- 51 day interest free period on purchases.
- Some credit history required.
- Online and mobile account management.
- Quick response when you apply.
- Some credit history required.
- Past CCJs or defaults OK.
- Option to increase credit limit in future.
- No credit history required.
- Ideal if you are new to credit.
- Past CCJs or defaults welcome.
- Online and mobile account management.
- A prepaid card that can also help build your credit.
- Guaranteed approval.
- No credit check.
- Card purchase fee and other fees apply.
- Alternative credit scoring system.
- Helps you get financial services even if you have to credit history at all.
- Partly based on information you provide.
- Ideal for migrants, expats and students.
When you apply for a credit card, the main factor that determines whether you get approved or not is your credit rating: If you haven't used credit services before, missed payments in the past, had a CCJ or bankruptcy, your credit rating will be low and therefore you're likely to get turned down should you apply at a bank or other mainstream card issuers.
But a bad credit rating doesn't mean you can't get a credit card as there're cards that are designed to serve people in this category, like the ones listed above. They will function the same as a normal credit card i.e. you should be able to use it in all places that accept credit cards, the main difference is that you should expect to pay a higher interest rate.
1. Access to credit
Lending decisions are mostly based on your credit history, i.e. your history of borrowing and paying back money to financial institutions. If you've missed multiple payments or defaulted on debt in the past, it will result in bad credit history, therefore difficulty getting credit from banks.
Credit scores are increasingly being used for other things besides lending, so it's important to have a good one. In order to improve yours you need access to credit facilities, credit cards for bad credit provide that all important access for those who can't get it through banks.
2. Repair your credit history
If there's one positive to take from credit ratings, it's the fact that with time and activity they change. So however bad yours is, know that you can always improve it.
The way you improve your credit is by showing financial responsibility, i.e. make your payments on time and never go over the authorised credit limit.
Use your credit card regularly and pay off more than the minimum required every month; these activities will add positive points to your credit history and over time you will gain enough positive points to overturn bad credit.
Disadvantages1. Higher interest costs
To a card issuer, a credit rating is like a risk meter; the lower your credit rating the higher the risk of you missing payments or defaulting. To compensate for the risk, they charge a much higher interest rate than you might pay if you had good credit.
You can reduce your interest costs by keeping your outstanding balance low or paying it off every month (you only pay interest on existing balance).
2. Low credit limit
As a way of reducing risk, bad credit cards typically have very low credit limits; £300 - £1500. This will not be an issue if you just want to build your credit; the money is available for you to reuse soon after you pay it back.
If the low credit limit is an issue for you, you can apply to have it increased after you've had the card for some time, a year for example.
Alternatives1. Prepaid cards
These are top-up cards whereby you deposit money onto the card before you can use it to make payments.
Prepaid cards do not allow borrowing; you can only spend what you put onto the card. On a positive note, some prepaid card issuers offer an additional credit building service, which makes them a good way to improve your credit without getting into debt.
2. Joint credit cards
If your spouse or another family member has good credit, you may ask them to add you to an existing account or to apply with you as a joint account holder.
The advantage of this is that you will pay a lower interest rate and it may improve your own credit. The downside risk is that both account holders are responsible for any debt incurred on the card, failure to pay will negatively affect the credit ratings of all account holders.

Omni Magazine Co-founder Asks "Whose Science?"
By Caroline O'Shea | Contact Holly Foster 315-859-4068
Posted October 24, 2003
Dick Teresi, accomplished science author and co-founder of Omni Magazine, gave a lecture titled "Whose Science?" as part of the Kirkland Project's "Technology, Science and Democracy" series on Oct. 22, to a large crowd in the Fillius Events Barn. Teresi talked about his book, Lost Discoveries: The Ancient Roots of Modern Science – from the Babylonians to the Maya, which explores the many scientific and mathematic contributions of non-Western cultures and how they have been ignored by Western history and education.
The common consensus has long been that science began around 600 BC in Ancient Greece. Common knowledge also dictates, however, that civilization started thousands of years prior in the Middle East and Mesopotamia - had human civilization existed for millenia without science? In fact, as Teresi points out, some major scientific achievements were made by the Sumerian and Babylonian cultures during this period, such as a place value system of numbers and the generation of Pythagorean triples. Elsewhere in the world, the Chinese had a particle theory of light around 2200 BC, something which did not emerge in Europe until the Enlightenment.
Teresi told the crowd that finding these facts for his book did not take a lot of digging - the evidence of non-Western scientific achievement is around, it is simply ignored or discounted. As Teresi said, "Seeing Machu Picchu and the Pyramids, we should have had an idea that non-Western people knew something about math and science - they weren't just winging it." How, then, have the non-Western roots of science been ignored for so long? Teresi talked about the ways in which Western historians and scientists have traditionally undermined and downplayed the achievements of these cultures. Mainly, he said, it is because we discount discoveries that were made in the name of magic or religion, or scientific methods which were unlike the ones we use today. Teresi also discussed the puzzling emotion and anger with which some people will defend the view of science as exclusively Western.
Teresi concluded by saying why he thinks books like his and the dialogue they produce are important. "If we're talking about science," he said, "it should just be right."
The lecture was a part of the series "Technology, Science and Democracy: What's At Stake?", a program of the Kirkland Project for the Study of Gender, Society and Culture. The next event in the series will be a discussion with Danny McLain titled "Is Hamilton College Accessible to Persons with Disablities?" It will be held on Oct. 28 at 4 p.m. in the Fillius Events Barn. For more information on this and other upcoming events, visit the Kirkland Project Website.

You notice I didn't say jazz. He is to music -- notice I didn't say jazz -- what Einstein is to physics, what Freud is to medicine and what the Wright brothers are to travel. He took this ensemble music and made it a soloist's art. He invented modern time, which we now call swing -- playing before and after a note -- and then reinvented American singing. If Frank Sinatra were here, or Billie Holiday or if Ella Fitzgerald were still alive, they'd always say that all of it comes back to singing and to Pops [Armstrong]. Tony Bennett is still alive and he says that.

Esther Blake walked around her classroom at Chukker Creek Elementary School recently, checking her second-graders' work.
She knows them especially well, having served as their first-grade teacher last year.
In the next hallway, Dee Sanborn is enjoying the same experience with third-graders she taught in second grade previously.
The K-12 education field has a fascinating language all its own, including the teaching strategy called "looping" that the teachers are participating in.
Both Blake and Sanborn got the go-ahead from principal Amy Gregory. Blake, a 27-year veteran, has taught first grade at Chukker Creek since the school opened in 1995.
"There was an opening in second grade, and I thought it might be fun," she said. "I've read a lot of research on looping. The consistency is good for kids, and there's no loss of instruction time."
Actually, only 15 of her 23 students joined her in second grade, but the newcomers have benefited from the holdovers' comfort level.
Blake enjoyed first grade, which has changed dramatically over the years in terms of the students' capabilities and the expectations they're expected to fulfill. Kindergarten is more like what first grade used to be in terms of knowing letters and basic sight words.
"It's a sweet group, and they have worked together really well since day one this year," said Blake. "They're more mature and independent as second-graders."
Sanborn began a second career five years ago as an early childhood education intern at Chukker Creek in a second-grade classroom. She was delighted to return to that grade-level as a new teacher.
"It's a year of wonder," Sanborn said. "They learn quite a bit in first grade. Then in second grade, they take in new concepts, moving beyond that play-sense of learning. It becomes, 'Wow, I can use this in real life.'"
She enjoyed her students so much last year that she wanted to see how far they could go. But looping also provided Sanborn the experience of not having to do as much student assessment as she would with a new group.
Earlier this month, her students completed the Measure of Academic Program which, in part, provides information on areas of strengths and weaknesses.
"I have been really impressed with the results, and the students have shown a lot of maturity over the summer, "Sanborn said. "I'm a young teacher, as far as my career is concerned, and we're learning from each other. I would be totally open to doing this again with second-graders."
The new and more rigorous Common Core academic standards are being fully implemented this year in all grades, but Blake introduced them to her first-graders last year. The standards remain more challenging.
"They're not bubbling in answers," Black said. "The children are expected to tell me why they got that answer and if there is another way they could solve the problem. This is fun, and I'm enjoying it. The kids are growing up and becoming more responsible."

B.J. Denker has gotten yelled at this year — a lot.
If things go his way, he'll be the one doing the yelling soon enough. Denker, who will celebrate his Senior Day today at Arizona Stadium, said this week he wants to be a coach once his playing career is over. Yelling, he figures, will be one of the biggest job perks.
"Hopefully I'll be in Tucson in a couple of years and you'll be seeing more of me and coach won't be yelling at me, I'll be yelling at somebody else in a red and blue jersey," Denker said. "I'll be a Division I coach in the next 10-15 years. That would be my goal."
Denker said he's going "to try to play as long as possible" — even if it means moving to Canada or Europe for a few years. After that, the Wildcats quarterback wants to join a staff as a graduate assistant and move his way up the coaching latter.
Rodriguez thinks his quarterback will make a good coach.
"He's really smart and he picks things up well," Rodriguez said. "Sometimes I forget it's just his second year. I think he would be an excellent coach. I think he's got a pretty good base of knowledge."
Today will be Denker's final start at Arizona Stadium and the quarterback was the focus of a Rodriguez message to his team earlier this week.
Rodriguez was asked this week if he was proud of Denker, the team's first-year starter. His answer:
"Absolutely, and I mentioned that to the team the other day," Rodriguez said. "I said we got after him hard, Coach (Rod) Smith and I, from August, even in spring practice, and he's gotten better and I think he's been a good leader.
"For a second-year player, I'm really proud of the way he's performed."
Denker, who came to the UA from Cerritos Junior College before the 2012 season, has a hard time believing his Senior Day is already here.
"I remember graduating high school, saying, 'What am I going to do? Am I even going to have a chance to play Division I?' Denker said. "Then I got the call and I was here and now it's my last home game. It's gone by fast and I just try to enjoy every moment of it. I'll have some great memories."

South Africa v Scotland - International match preview
Last Updated: 15/06/13 3:58pm
South Africa have made five changes to their squad ahead of Saturday's Quadrangular Tournament clash with Scotland in Nelspruit.
Ulster scrum-half Ruan Pienaar comes into the starting XV in place of Jano Vermaak, who sustained an injury during last weekend's 44-10 rout over Italy.
The only other switch in the starting line-up sees Marcell Coetzee deputise for the injured Francois Louw at blindside flanker.
Prop Bismarck du Plessis makes a welcome return to Test rugby on the Springboks bench after 10 months out with knee injury, while head coach Heyneke Meyer could hand debuts to Siya Kolisi and Piet van Zyl who are both named in the match-day 23 for the first time.
Meanwhile Scotland coach Scott Johnson has named an uncapped trio in his side as Scotland look to bounce back from their opening round defeat to Samoa.
Full-back Peter Murchie, winger Tommy Seymour and lock Tim Swinson will all make their international bows at the Mbombela Stadium, as Johnson makes seven changes to the side which lost 27-17 last Saturday.
Ruaridh Jackson makes his first appearance in Scotland colours since the Six Nations as he replaces the concussed Tom Heathcote at fly-half.
Injuries have also forced Johnson to makes changes in the pack with hooker Pat MacArthur replaced by Scott Lawson while flanker Ryan Wilson deputises for captain Kelly Brown.
South Africa: 15 Willie le Roux, 14 Bryan Habana, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Jean de Villiers (capt), 11 Bjorn Basson, 10 Morné Steyn, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Pierre Spies, 7 Arno Botha, 6 Marcell Coetzee, 5 Juandré Kruger, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Adriaan Strauss, 1 Tendai Mtawarira.
Replacements: 16 Bismarck du Plessis, 17 Trevor Nyakane, 18 Coenie Oosthuizen, 19 Flip van der Merwe, 20 Siya Kolisi, 21 Piet van Zyl, 22 Pat Lambie, 23 Jan Serfontein.
Scotland: 15 Peter Murchie, 14 Tommy Seymour, 13 Alex Dunbar, 12 Matt Scott, 11 Sean Lamont, 10 Ruaridh Jackson, 9 Greig Laidlaw (capt), 8 Johnnie Beattie, 7 Ryan Wilson, 6 Alasdair Strokosch, 5 Jim Hamilton, 4 Tim Swinson, 3 Euan Murray, 2 Scott Lawson, 1 Alasdair Dickinson.
Replacements: 16 Fraser Brown, 17 Jon Welsh, 18 Moray Low, 19 Alastair Kellock, 20 David Denton, 21 Henry Pyrgos, 22 Peter Horne, 23 Duncan Taylor.
What they said...
South Africa head coach Heyneke Meyer
"It's great to have Bismarck back in the mix, but I'm even more excited about the inclusion of Piet and Siya on the bench.
"This time last year, Piet and Siya, along with Arno Botha, were part of the group of six young guns who trained with us and now all three are in the Test match squad."
Scotland coach Scott Johnson
"We've faced South Africa a fair bit in the last decade and right now they're the second best team in the world, playing on their own paddock, and with a win against Italy already under their belts.
"We have to be competitive and, once again, I'll reiterate that we have to get our accuracy and aggression 100% at breakdown to give ourselves the opportunity."

We went to the Rauhalahti Holiday village outside Kuopio for a couple of days where we stayed in a cabin - a beautiful cabin with pine floors, walls, and ceilings. All sparkling clean.

... Ice hockey is very popular in Finland so the atmosphere was amazing, not to mention Oulu were on a 15 match winning streak. For dinner we rode to Kauppuri 5, the home of the best burgers in Oulu. The small restaurant is always busy and there is sometimes a wait but it is totally worth it.
Wednesday 23rd October
Up bright and early to begin our day trip to Kuopio. With our close group of friends we had planned a day trip ...
It was a long bus ride from Rovaniemi to Kuopio. I had to stop several times to change buses in Tornio, Kemi, Oulu before getting to my destination. It is not nearly as green in the center of the country as it is up north, but it is still very nice. It turns to more of a green and yellow color of trees and leaves rather than only green up north. The green up north ...
1st stop, Kuopio
... at the hotel. Food was of a good standard, 3 course - pate, salmon & veg and lingonberries with cream yummo. Not good for the weight though.
Awake early as it is so light. Went for a walk at around 5am down around the lake, it was picture perfect got some amazing photos of the lake with the reflections in it. Back to the hotel for brekky and pack up ready for a 7.30am start for the day. ...
''I've been here 5 weeks now" said Aaron, "this is how I live my life." In fact I don't think his name was really Aaron. I can't remember his real name but he looked like an Aaron - brown curly hair, a beard of sorts, slightly Jewish looking in a cool kind of way. He would sit at a campfire or food circle, cross legged with a classical guitar and start playing the same chords over and over – mellow, spiritual ...

SOUTH SHORE, TEXAS. South Shore is a lakeside community off Farm Road 2484 about ten miles southwest of Belton in central Bell County. Probably named for its geographic location on the south shore of Stillhouse Hollow Lake, this residential development began by the 1980s. The 1990 census reported forty residents. The population remained the same in 2000.

Obama sent McCain and Graham to Cairo Egypt on the pretense of observing the heating crisis there. The real objective was to cover up Deputy Secretary of State Bill Burns mission to meet with imprisoned Muslim Brotherhood Khairat al-Shater Even more interesting Khairat al-Shater was Chief of Staff and an employee of The Clinton Global Initiative offices in Cairo Egypt. So what was the 90 minute visit about, later the meeting was played down as not a meeting. After McCain and Grahams visit to Cairo, Egypt they met with President Obama. Since then the two men have not been functioning consistent with their past actions.

It is often thought that treating or enhancing jewelry, particularly diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and other high-priced gems, is a relatively recent development. In fact, it has been going on, in one form or another, for thousands of years. The heating of precious stones, to improve their color, has been around since the time of Cleopatra's Mines.
Increasingly, however, the suppliers of precious gems are coming up with ever more sophisticated techniques to improve the appearance, and hence the profitability, of their products. Such is the case with the latest round of treatment in the world of expensive ruby jewelry.
In the last five years, the amount of ruby jewelry that has been treated with "glass filling" has exploded. This product is finding its way into high-end jewelry and high-end stores, with expensive price tags. In short, it is being sold as high-quality jewelry. It is not.
The new glass-filled ruby, technically called "lead-glass filled" because of the presence of lead compounds in the filling, does not deserve the name ruby. The product begins with the mining of very low quality, fracture-filled, often near opaque ruby "rough." Before the advent of these new treatments, it was virtually unusable. In other words, it was just junk rock. With the advent of the latest rounds of treatment, this junk rock is patched up via the glass-filling treatment, made to look good, and sent off into the world marketplace. A lot of people are making big money off it along the way.
Is there a problem with this? There certainly is. Think of it this way – the treated ruby is like a fissure-filled rock, held together by a "glue" that is made of molten glass that has cooled and hardened. Not only is the resulting product not exactly pure ruby, it has serious durability issues. If you get some household cleaner on your glass-filled ruby, it could potentially interfere with the glass/ruby bond, and start to crumble the stone. If you take your jewelry to a jeweler for a repair, the heat from a jeweler's torch could make a glass-filled ruby shatter. And a sharp knock to the stone at the wrong angle could crack it along one of the filled fractures.
Right now, there is no clear agreement in the jewelry trade about how to describe this product, and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission has still to act. In the meantime, consumers need to protect themselves from purchasing this kind of junk gem. The best way is to demand to know everything about a ruby before you buy it, hopefully from a reputable store. Ask if it has been "fracture-filled" or "glass-filled" in any way. If it has not, you should insist that you get that fact in writing, on your guarantee. And if you are paying a lot for the piece, you may want to take it to a reputable lab, or an appraiser, to check that the jewelry is as described.

Empowering Adolescent Girls in Port-au-Prince: 'We are the future of Haiti'
Available in Español, Français
For almost a year, the World Bank has been supporting the Adolescent Girls Initiative (AGI) in Haiti, where much of the country is still recovering from the 2010 earthquake. Through this program, 1,000 low-income Haitian girls between the ages of 17 and 20 who did not complete secondary school have been able to receive vocational and technical training in areas of work not traditionally open to women.
The program seeks to ensure that these young Haitian women can enter the labor force with skills and experience. Internships are an integral component of the training they receive. In this context, the acquisition of technical skills suited to labor market needs and a change in mindset are critical to altering this situation in tangible ways.
I had the opportunity to go to Port-au-Prince when the program was launched and meet the future beneficiaries. I returned a few weeks ago to observe the progress made.

LAWRENCEVILLE - An attorney for homebuilders said impact fees could even be good for business, but only if governments are fair and honest when deciding when and how to charge for growth.Darren Hicks, a Columbus attorney who represented the Georgia Homebuilders Association in a lawsuit contesting Cherokee County's impact fee ordinance, spoke Wednesday to a Gwinnett panel considering the fees. Using common sense arguments often based on his life on a farm, Hicks said governments need to think through the costs of the program, the potential conflicts between cities and counties and the services the government wants to provide. Hicks said some counties use consultants to determine if impact fees are plausible then hire the same consultants to devise a system instead of assessing the funding situation on their own. Instead, he said, the county should determine internally if the fees make sense. The most important part of the Cherokee case, which he won in Superior Court but lost in an appeal, was about the county building facilities within cities even though the new homes and businesses in the cities weren't subject to the fees. Plus, proximity to parks and libraries wasn't taken into account in deciding who would pay the fees. Instead, it was implemented county-wide. Hicks said the maneuver is within the law, but it creates public perception and political problems and simply isn't fair to the homeowners and business owners who eventually have to pay the extra cost. "It may be legal as all get out today, but I don't believe it's fair," he said. "That's what the development community wants is accountability in writing and not just good intentions." At the same time, though, he said impact fees shouldn't be used to try to slow down growth. They have become common practice in Florida and California, but those states are still experiencing surges, especially since the fees mean improvements to roads and other services are guaranteed. "If you build infrastructure, it (growth) with come," he said. "But we think it's good for citizens generally to have (accountability)." As a former city planner in Fayetteville and a vice president of the Council for Quality Growth, Jahnee Prince said she had mixed feelings about impact fees. But she said major developers never balked at the fees imposed in the city south of Atlanta. Smaller "mom and pop" developers often caused the most uproar about the fees, she said. While the council has no official position on the charges, Prince said it could save developers from having to dole out even more money on area improvements as part of a condition of zoning. "Building the infrastructure actually creates more opportunity for economic development," she said.

Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister has said it would not rule out an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, despite alleged assurances to the contrary to Russia.
Danny Ayalon said: "I don't think that, with all due respect, the Russian President [Dmitry Medvedev] is authorised to speak for Israel and certainly we have not taken any option off the table."
Echoing Mr Ayalon's sentiments, IDF chief Lt Gen Gabi Ashkenazi stressed that Israel had "the right to defend itself and all options are on the table".
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has told Iranians that the Holocaust is a "lie", and that confronting Israel was an Iranian's "national and religious duty".
Speaking at the anti-Israel Quds Day rally at Tehran University, Mr Ahmadinejad said: "The Holocaust is a pretext for the creation of the Zionist regime and is false. It is a lie based on an unprovable and mythical claim. "
American Jewish organisations are intensifying their calls for the US Congress to enact strict sanctions on Iran, as Tehran continues to make progress on its nuclear programme.
Their activism comes amidst signs that the US might be getting more serious about sanctions. But they might find that the hardest opposition comes from Europeans, whose companies will be hurt by the measures.
Congress proposed sanctions legislation in the spring but did not attempt to enact it in order to give the new US administration time to see if diplomacy could work.
A high-profile advocacy group is campaigning to stop a top New York hotel from hosting Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad next week.
United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) was founded by diplomats Dennis Ross and Richard Holbrooke, both of whom serve in the Obama administration, and its president is Mark Wallace, a former US ambassador to the UN.
The nomination of General Ahmad Vahidi as Iranian Defence Minister has shocked the international community.
General Vahidi is wanted by Interpol for his alleged role in the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community centre in Argentina.
Many see his nomination as yet another sign that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is still intent on antagonising the West, and Israel especially.
An Iranian news agency has claimed that police in the north west Iranian province of Ardabil arrested three people, including a Jewish woman, for devil worship.
The Fars news agency, a governmental news body, said: "Two men and a Jewish woman, who were promoting the cult of Satan worship among the youth of Parsabad town, have been arrested,"
It also claimed more than 100 items, including jewellery made from human skulls, have been seized from the arrested people.
Dr Alexander Machkevitch, one of the world's richest businessmen and president of the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress, has a business plan — for Iran.
Once the current regime is replaced and sanctions are lifted, he wants to invest in the country's oil industry, as Iran loses capital by not refining its own oil.
"I discussed the plan with a group of Iranian businessmen who are quite tired of the situation in the country but it will be possible only with political support," Mr Machkevitch said. "I am very optimistic."
Sir Gerald Kaufman gave a scathing description of the actions of the State of Israel, comparing its "oppression" of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank with apartheid South Africa and the current Iranian regime.
Speaking at a Watford Friends of Salfeet meeting last night, the MP for Manchester Gorton described Iran as a "loathsome regime" but unlike Israel "at least it keeps its totalitarian theocracy to within its own borders".
London became the venue this week for discussions between the Israeli and American leaderships over a new co-ordinated policy towards Iran and the Palestinians.
A team headed by Intelligence Services Minister Dan Meridor has been meeting a White House team to discuss President Barack Obama's plans to talk to Iran about its nuclear programme.
The Israelis hope to receive a definite time limit to American talks.
Seventy-five years after arriving in England as a refugee from Nazi Germany, Max Block has helped an Iranian Jewish family gain asylum in the UK.
The Sinaei family have been helped by the entire Liverpool Jewish community as they struggled to survive without state aid when their application for asylum was turned down.
They fled Iran after their land was seized, their home demolished and a grandmother's funeral was disrupted, with security guards destroying the coffin and kicking the corpse.

A tragedy in five acts by William Shakespeare, Othello was written in 1603-04 and published in 1622 (although a later version was published in Shakespeare's First Folio in 1623). The play is based on an Italian play by Giambattista Giraldi called De gli Hecatommithi (1565). Giraldi's play had not yet been translated into English (only French), but Shakespeare was probably familiar with the original Italian version of the story.

A new bill was introduced in Russia by a member of the State Duma, the lower house of Parliament, this week that would allow children to be taken away from gay or lesbian parents. Sexual orientation falls in with alcoholism, abuse, and drug use as reasons for children being removed from their homes.
Does this outrage you? Alexei Zhuravlev is the member of the Duma that introduced the bill earlier this week. He argues that homosexual propaganda is "wrong in the family". This bill follows close behind the law President Vladimir Putin signed in July banning homosexual couples from other countries from adopting Russian children. Individuals are even being urged to report their neighbors if they suspect they are gay.
At what point are other world leaders going to step in and say this is wrong? There is a growing movement to ban the Winter Olympics in 2014 set to take place in Sochi. Putin has even set a ban on any rallies, picketing, or demonstrations surrounding the Olympics. That would be a prime time for Gay Rights Activists to be seen by the world…but now it's banned.
There are many discriminatory things happening in the vast country of Russia. No one deserves discrimination, but what is to happen to these poor children when they are taken from their loving homes? How is it better for them to be ripped from their same-sex families and placed with groups or people that are strangers? There are an estimated 2.3 million to 3.3 million families that will be affected if this bill passes.
Not all gay and lesbian families are made after the same-sex couple is together, but a large number of them are. These couples have a deep desire to have children and have to go to great lengths to do so. In fact, Melbourne University recently conducted a large study on children in same-sex families. They collected data on over 500 children and 315 gay, lesbian, and bisexual parents. They found that when it comes to emotional stability, self esteem, and the amount of quality time spent with their parents, the children fared no differently than children of heterosexual families. Where the findings differed from heterosexual families was the children's overall health and the strength of their relationship with their parents. Children in same-sex families were stronger in these areas. Based on this study, sexual orientation of the parents does not play a role in the child's well-being.
This is not the first study to look at same-sex families and how sexual orientation of the parents affect children. At the beginning of the year, the reputable American Academy of Pediatrics released a paper based on 30 years of research to conclude that "many studies have demonstrated that children's well-being is affected much more by their relationships with their parents, their parents' sense of competence and security, and the presence of social and economic support for the family than by the gender or the sexual orientation of their parents."
That being said, perhaps the Vladimir Putins and Alexei Zhuravlevs of the world should focus more on how poverty, discrimination, and access to good education and nutrition affect children and their well-being and leave sexual orientation alone. Social support of same-sex families is something we can all give.
Sep 19, 2013 :: Hilda
absolutely agree. i don't need a 'study' to know that same sex couples can parent as well as heterosexual or even single parents. what is happening in Russia is a disgrace and has been going on a long time. i feel really sorry for all gays and lesbians living there, it must be so hard on them. But what can we do to help????

The Maryland General Assembly's regular 90-day session ended in disarray Monday at midnight as legislators failed to approve an income tax measure to which their leaders had agreed.
The lack of action meant that a so-called "doomsday" budget — balanced entirely through hundreds of millions of dollars of cuts — is in place for the fiscal year that begins July 1. House and Senate leaders said they would ask the governor to call a special session this week to allow them to take up a plan to increase income taxes to avoid the most severe cuts.
It is the first time since 1992 that the legislature has not completed its work on the budget during the 90 days.
Assembly leaders had reached tentative agreement earlier Monday night on a state budget for the coming year and an income tax increase to help pay for it.
But the full Assembly didn't manage to vote on the tax measure by midnight. A related measure — to allow a casino in Prince George's County and to permit table games at all casinos — was in trouble in the House of Delegates when plans to take up the tax bill were halted.
Early Tuesday morning, Gov. Martin O'Malley had harsh words for legislators. "This is not in keeping with what the people of our state expect of their legislature," O'Malley said.
Taking what appeared to be a swipe at Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller — the architect of the gambling measure — O'Malley said, "The republic was not built on gambling gimmicks, bingo or bake sales."
Sometimes lawmakers have to put "egos and pet projects" aside in order to "advance the common good," the governor said.
He declined to say when he might call a special session. "They had 90 days to do the work," he said. "Exactly which steps we take on this score remain to be seen."
For his part, Miller said it was simply a matter of the clock running out. "We just ran out of time, there's nothing to get angry about ... I've seen it before, it's happened before. It's part of the legislative process."
He made clear that he expected a gambling measure, not just the budget and taxes, to be part of any special session. "Just the two issues, revenues and gaming, remain on the table," he said.
House Speaker Michael E. Busch blamed the Senate for dragging its feet on the revenue bills after it was clear the casino bill was failing. "I think it is pretty evident that our counterparts in the Senate slow-played all the revenue bills," Busch said.
Miller, Busch and O'Malley are all Democrats.
Senate Minority Leader E. J. Pipkin, an Upper Shore Republican, put the blame for the chaotic finish squarely on O'Malley.
"At the end of the day, there was a lack of leadership from the governor," he said. Pipkin said there's no need for a special session. "We have a balanced budget. We've done what was needed. Let's go home," he said.
Democratic budget negotiators had broken a deadlock Monday afternoon when the Senate gave in to the House position that individuals earning less than $100,000 and families making under $150,000 should not have to pay higher income taxes. Marylanders with incomes higher than those levels would pay from one-fourth to three-fourths of a percentage point more.
Negotiators had also reached an agreement on the $35 billion state budget — the one bill that the Maryland Constitution requires the legislature to pass. To help balance the budget, they agreed to a companion bill to shift part of the burden of teacher pension costs from the state to the counties over four years.
A key element in breaking the deadlock appeared to be the House's agreement to bring a bill to the floor to expand gambling in Maryland by allowing a sixth casino — to be located at National Harbor in Prince George's County — and allowing table games there and at Maryland's five already authorized slots locations. Then House leaders realized the needed votes were in question.
One piece of business that did get done Monday was the capital budget. Legislative gave final approval to a $3.6 billion capital spending plan that includes extra money O'Malley requested to pay for improvements to parks and schools and to encourage construction of rental housing.

Survey of Nigeria's foreign policy - 6
Nigeria must attempt at being the Japan of Africa, a symbol which will forever shatter the image of failure associated with the black man. Once we have the economic foundation at home we must integrate our economy with that of ECOWAS. The present structure of ECOWAS requires an overhaul for the present organisation is not realizing its full potential and aim. There is need to develop a common ECOWAS currency and this is why one would like to suggest that Nigeria should break down the 'Berlin Wall' between herself and the Ivory Coast, the two economies in West Africa which can provide the catalyst for a West Africa Monetary Union (WAMU). Nigeria also needs to build appropriate and overlapping mechanism to relate to her immediate neighbours of Chad, Benin, Cameroons and Equatorial Guinea. This is necessary to guarantee peace at our borders. It is a truism in international relations that the most secure borders is the undefended borders. We must raise the level of our economic and political relations with our immediate neighbours so that we can open borders with them. One will like again to suggest strengthening of the Gulf of Guinea Commission, restricted to Benin, Nigeria, The Cameroons, Equatorial Guinea and possibly Gabon for joint development of the Gulf of Guinea where overlapping territorial claims could lead to war. The recent commercial exploitation of crude petroleum in Equatorial Guinea calls for our attention so that there is no clash of interest over rival claims to oil fields. We should also pursue the realization of the Abuja Charter of Economic Integration of Africa in the long haul. But we must begin from the realistic level of first taking care of Nigeria's interest, then that of our neighbours, and then ECOWAS, before burning our energy on a visionary hope of continental union. We cannot do everything in one or two generations, but let us realize that the journey of a thousand miles must begin with the first steps. Let us therefore begin at home by honestly building a country where there is equality of opportunities and where all government actions conform with justice, equity, fairness and virtue. We must also realize that while there is equality of all states in the international system and particularly in our orbit in Africa, nevertheless some states such as South Africa, Egypt, Morocco and possibly Algeria, Kenya, Ivory Coast and Ghana require more attention from us. Whatever leadership aspirations Nigeria has would have to receive the support of these states before they can be realized. The possibility of an African seat in the Security Council of the United Nations would require all the diplomatic skill our country can muster and also progress on domestic front. Right now our chances are slim but not hopeless if we can conquer the demon of disunity.
Finally, every student of diplomacy and international relations knows that when diplomacy fails, force becomes the ultimate sanction in international affairs. This is why we must develop highly mobile and efficient armed forces. This will be very expensive, but this is predicated on a strong economy as we have indicated. We need to pay special attention to the navy and air force. This is because in the past, navies have been very useful instruments of diplomacy. Naval demonstration at the coast of potential or truculent enemies has been very effective in conveying diplomatic message without outright war. Naval courtesy visits in peace time can be very useful in demonstrating ability to project power to friends and foes alike. The role of the Nigerian Navy in Liberia and Sierra Leone underscores this point I am trying to make.
Modern wars can hardly be fought without an efficient air force. One is also aware of the fact that there is no replacement for foot soldiers, because somebody has to mop up after successful bombing raids. What is being suggested is that an efficient and manoeuvrable air force is not only strategically and logistically useful, it is also a useful tool of diplomacy. We need a highly mechanized army that can be deployed rapidly in whatever theatre of operation. We must establish our priority between a large inefficient and immobile army and a small rapid deployment force. Building strong armed forces does not necessarily mean one is advocating a policy of jingoism.
Armies exist all over the world to deter potential enemies and to help maintain peace when called upon by civilian or domestic political authorities. Nigeria does not have a potential enemy that could threaten her existence in her region, but this does not mean that her neighbours would always have pacific feeling towards her. Our aspiration for a big role in the international system also demands that we have strong armed forces that may be called upon for peacekeeping or peace enforcement, as we have previously done in several parts of the world including Bosnia, the Congo, Lebanon, Namibia, Tanzania, Angola and the armistice line between Israel and Egypt, Liberia, Sierra Leone and so on.
In conclusion, we have had a panoramic view of Nigeria's foreign policy from its genesis to the present, highlighting the ebbs and flows of events. We have also suggested that Nigeria has played an important part in world affairs since she entered the stage while still under colonial rule. This importance she carried to the period of post independence. We have also suggested in line with the theory of the impact of dominant personalities in history that Nigeria's foreign policy has been shaped by the will of whoever was head of state or government at a specific time of our history. This does not mean that there was no conjuncture of events pushing whoever was at the driver's seat of state of affairs at that time. Internal events as well as responses to external situations usually proved decisive in shaping our foreign policy. We are now at this democratic juncture of our history when our foreign policy, unlike in the years of military rule, has to respond to democratic forces of different interests usually manifesting ethno-religious sentiments. Luckily our current leaders are or should be familiar with the various nuances of internal and international pressures affecting the course and direction of our foreign policy.

The Yankees have optioned infielder-outfielder Eduardo Nunez to Scranton/Wilkes Barre a.k.a Empire State Yankees, making room for Eric Chavez on the club's active roster. Manager Joe Girardi said the Yankees want Nunez to get back to playing mostly shortstop, with some second base mixed in.
"We talked about it and said, maybe we're asking this kid to do too much at this time in his career," Girardi said. "…Our thought is, this kid is going to be an everyday shortstop at some point."
The move was made after Nunez committed two errors -one fielding, one throwing – on Thursday night against the Rays, resulting in two unearned runs. Nunez was removed in the sixth inning for defense, replaced by Jayson Nix.
In three seasons with the Yankees, Nunez has committed 25 errors in various positions on the field.
Jayson Nix will be the new backup shortstop and second baseman while Chavez can back up first and third bases.

Inclement Weather Plan
With the onset of colder weather, snow and ice will begin to become part of our local weather forecasts. The Facilities Department began preparing for these events in early fall by stock piling de-icing materials and salt. We have also been upgrading and testing our snow plowing and removal equipment.
We would like to share our inclement weather response plan with the campus community so you know what to expect from us during an inclement weather event. Snow and ice removal on campus is prioritized with consideration for safety and maintaining primary access roads for emergency vehicles. Priority areas include:
1. Main access roads and areas for emergency vehicle response.
Facilities will monitor the weather and respond as conditions require. As you can imagine, it is difficult to plan with precision what an inclement weather event will actually do. However, during a snow event we will generally arrive on campus at about 3 am to begin snow removal activity. With no mechanical difficulties and a full crew we are usually able to have the entire campus ready by 8 am. During a continuing snow event, we focus on maintaining priority areas.
Facilities reports snow and campus access conditions to the Vice President for Administration (usually by 5 am). This allows enough time (usually by 6 am) to notify the campus community of University schedule changes utilizing media outlets, the University's website and switchboard and the Rave text messaging system.

Zeebox plots first screen integration with TV manufacturers
By Sarah Shearman, mediaweek.co.uk, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 11:35AM
Zeebox, the social TV app, is working with hardware manufacturers to integrate its technology into TV devices before the end of this year.
Speaking today at the Social Media World Forum in London, Simon Miller, chief technical officer at Zeebox, told the audience of 50, that the integration would mean its interface would, for the first time, become "overlaid on the first screen", which would be a "wild west".
He also revealed that Zeebox's Android app would launch in the next two weeks.
Miller was part of a keynote panel at the event that discussed the state of social TV and the trends which are driving it.
Lloyd Salmon, co-founder and director of Outside Line, said that while second-screen devices were proliferating, what was core to social TV was understanding consumer behaviour.
He said the "narcissistic five minutes of fame" drove social TV because "people want their opinion heard".
He said agencies and brands should think about audience behaviour first, "then create content ideas around that ... underpinning that is hardware tech but it's the adoption of that technology that will be really driving [social TV]".
Miller argued that not all TV viewers actually wanted a social TV experience.
He discussed results from interviews Zeebox did, prior to its launch, with 6,000 people about their TV viewing habits. It found that half of them did not want a social experience when watching TV, because for them it was a private experience.
Miller said: "This doesn't mean it won't get social. But any proposition which pins itself on being social is not going to work.
"Zeebox doesn't rely on you being social – you don't need to sign in with Facebook or Twitter"
He said that its research found that the most important thing for TV users was finding out more information, and the second, "which was the most surprising and interesting", was that they wanted to buy what they saw on TV. Zeebox added a click-to-buy function last month.
Sidharth Jayant, content service manager at Samsung Electronics, said that in social TV, the aim should be to "focus on the TV and then make it social" and not the other way around.
He said: "There is a lot of focus on the second and third screen, but that has to be in relation to what is being watched on TV, otherwise there will be a usage lower than what you expect."
David Nahmani, director of business development and partnerships at Orange / France Telecom, said social TV activity generated "a lot of data".
He said: "Tomorrow's value will come from understanding data from an advertising and broadcasting perspective.
"When we combine the strength of apps with the carrier it becomes really interesting from a monetisation standpoint."

Reviews for Space Run
A fun take on Tower Defense, but no Privateeruriel222 | Nov. 16, 2014 | See all uriel222's reviews »
Space Run's greatest strength is also it's biggest weakness. The core of the game is you have a ship with a very limited deckplan, and have to "fit" in your weapons and defenses, Tetris style, with more powerful equipment have larger, more awkward shapes. This starts as a neat twist on the usual Tower Defense formula, but soon becomes an exercise in frustration as you find the upgrades you've been grinding for are next to useless as you can't fit them in anywhere. The presentation, UI and voice acting are all first-rate, and really evoke a "trucker" vibe. Fun to play for a bit, but no real depth. Value to money? Probably worth about $5 or so.
Space Run: A Neat Gamemrminecrafter1 | June 24, 2014 | See all mrminecrafter1's reviews »
Space Run is basically a moving tower-defense game. Your spaceship has to transport various materials and you have to defend against various obstacles. The gameplay is suprisingly fun. The frantic micro-management against incoming waves of enemies is really fun. Sound design is pretty good as well as the soundtrack. Graphical fidelity is pretty good considering the budget of this game. Overall this game is pretty good. I would recommend this to fans of tower-defense games. I'm not a fan of those games and this game just shows how well they impressed me.

Giving this another shot.
My name is Katie. I'm 26 and I'm a nurse at a local emergency room. I'm not very outgoing at first, but once I'm comfortable around you, look out. I'm a very caring person and sometimes too trusting, which is probably why I always end up getting hurt. At this point in my life, I am more than over games and drama. I won't put up with either. I just want someone that will put up with my crazy work schedule and prove you're not all the same. So, I know this isn't incredible detailed but if you want to know more, feel free to message me. And just a tip, if you really are interested, messages get my attention more than a wink does! Oh and not to sound mean, but seriously, if you're old enough to be may dad, please don't waste your time or more importantly my time because I'm simply not interested. They have the "looking for" section for a reason.
Book club , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Watching sports
Auto racing / Motorcross, Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Dancing, Football, Swimming, VolleyBall
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Cats
usually i tend to stick to the irwin/greensburg/monroeville area. um tgi friday's, buffalo wild wings, any of our various movie theaters, westmoreland mall pretty much make up my hang outs. but really anywhere fun.
i love just about every type of music, my collection is rather extensive. the only kind of movie i won't watch are scary ones, i'm kind of a big baby lol. fave tv shows - big bang theory, NCIS (original and LA), just got into Once Upon A Time.
when i actually have free time i like to ride motorcycles with my dad and uncles. i love hanging out with my friends and it really doesn't matter what we do. i'm pretty much game for anything as long as its fun
i read a lot. mostly fantasy type stuff.

Carter: Well, if you go back and see what Vice President Cheney has said for the last three or four years concerning Iraq, his batting average is abysmally low. He hasn't been right on hardly anything, in his prediction of what was going to happen; reasons for us going over there. And obviously, this is not playing into the hands of Al Qaida or the people who are causing violence and destruction over there, to call for a change in policy in Iraq.
Stephanopoulos: You know, I've heard a lot of complaints recently that this presidential campaign is starting too early. And I think people who say that have short memories.
We went back and looked -- and maybe this is the unofficial start of the year '76 campaign -- you're on "What's My Line?" in December of 1973.
Moderator: "Panel, all I can tell you about Mr. X is that he provides a service and let's begin the questioning with Arlene Francis."
Arlene Francis: "Is it a service that has to do with women?"
Carter: "Yes, it certainly does." (laughter)
Female panelist: "Mr. X has a very spiritual aura. Does he recruit nuns?" (laughter)…
Stephanopoulos: No one knew who you were, but two years later, you had the nomination.
Carter: That's right.
Stephanopoulos: Do you think it's possible for anyone to run the kind of campaign you ran, '73, '74, '75?
Carter: No. I didn't have any money. We've never had enough money for me or Roselyn or my children or my mother to stay in a hotel. We always had to find somebody to take us in. Nowadays, you can't do it. You can't dream of getting the nomination for either party now, I would say, unless you can raise $100 million in advance, you know, as an indication of your authenticity. That's a gross distortion, in my opinion, of propriety in an election process.
Stephanopoulos: Your favorite Democrat dropped out of the race: Mark Warner.
Carter: I like Mark. I never did endorse him. My favorite Democrat, for a number of years now, has been Al Gore. If Al should decide to run -- which I'm afraid he won't -- I would support Al Gore.
Stephanopoulos: You think he should?
Carter: I think he should.
His burning issue now is global warming and preventing it. He can do infinitely more to accomplish that goal as in the incumbent in the White House, than he can making even movies that get -- you know, that get Oscars. So, I would hope he would. But I don't think he will. I've put so much pressure on Al to run that he's almost gotten aggravated with me.
Stephanopoulos: Have you actually called him?
Carter: Not lately. He almost told me, the last time I talked, "Don't call me anymore."
Carter: ... He said -- he said, "Jimmy, I'll support you. Don't call." But he would be my favorite.
Stephanopoulos: It sounds like Barack Obama is actually trying to take elements of the message you had in 1976: running against the process, the system, cynicism. But a few months ago, you said you thought he wasn't ready.
Carter: Back in those days, I was, kind of, hoping that he wouldn't run. But now that he's announced, you know, he's a legitimate candidate, and I'll let the American people decide.
Stephanopoulos: You think the country's ready for Hillary?
Carter: I think so. I think the country would be ready for Obama too if he should get the nomination.
You can look all over the world, all the way from Nicaragua to Indonesia, India, Great Britain -- women have been the -- have provided leadership in their countries, and they've done quite well. So I don't think there's any doubt about that.
Stephanopoulos: Mr. President, thank you very much.
Carter: I've enjoyed it.

Following the news of the nominations for the 85th Annual Academy Awards – which will be handed out on February 24 on ABC — the stars spoke out about their big Oscar news!
"It is such an honor to receive this recognition from the Academy. Working with Paul Thomas Anderson was a unique and wonderful opportunity that I am so grateful for. I'd also like to send congratulations to the other nominees and to my co-stars Philip and Joaquin." — Amy Adams, nominated for Best Supporting Actress for "The Master"
"I hadn't planned to listen live to the announcements, but when I got into the car this morning to go to work, the driver had the nominations streaming as they were being broadcast. To be honest, it's very exciting but all a bit surreal, and it hasn't fully sunk in yet. This is a brilliant awards year that has been defined by an eclectic list of stories that have been told by incredibly talented and courageous filmmakers, and it's an honor to be mentioned in the same sentence as the other nominees in the Best Actor category. Having hosted the show, I have seen so many different sides of the Oscars, but to be an actual nominee is something I never would have dreamed possible." — Hugh Jackman, nominated for Best Actor for "Les Miserables'
"Everyone who made Beasts happen is so happy! Thank you to all you Oscar folks, from me, my mom and my dad. I am so happy for Benh and Lucy and the gang in Louisiana. Meeting all these great new people is one of the best parts for me. I want to thank my family, friends, fans and everyone so much. Beast it!" — Quvenzhané Wallis, nominated for Best Actress for "Beasts of the Southern Wild"
"I am deeply honored and frankly a little overwhelmed by all of the nominations that 'Life of Pi' has received this morning. So many talented people gave everything they had to this film, both in front of and behind the camera, and to see all of them receive this kind of recognition is something I am incredibly grateful for." — Ang Lee, nominated for Best Director for "Life of Pi"
"I am of course very excited about the nomination this morning. Ben Affleck is an amazing director, and I am so happy that 'Argo' was recognized in seven categories!" — Alan Arkin, nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "Argo"
"I am very pleased that the Academy has chosen to honor the many individuals who were a part of 'Silver Linings Playbook.'" — Robert De Niro, nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "Silver Linings Playbook"

20 CFR 664.310 - When is dropout status determined, particularly for youth attending alternative schools?
A school dropout is defined as an individual who is no longer attending any school and who has not received a secondary school diploma or its recognized equivalent. A youth's dropout status is determined at the time of registration. A youth attending an alternative school at the time of registration is not a dropout. An individual who is out-of school at the time of registration and subsequently placed in an alternative school, may be considered an out-of-school youth for the purposes of the 30 percent expenditure requirement for out-of-school youth. (WIA sec. 101(39).)
Title 20 published on 2012-04-01.
No entries appear in the Federal Register after this date, for 20 CFR Part 664.
