Microsoft Logistics Fleeing Germany Because of Patent Fears
Here's something you don't see every day: A Fortune 100 company and big-name technology business is shifting its distribution operations because of a lawsuit.
According to various news sources, including the Wall Street Journal and Reuters, Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) is moving its European logistics activities from Germany to the Netherlands as a risk-avoidance measure related to its ongoing legal battle with Motorola Mobility Inc. (NYSE: MMI).
Microsoft says that, even though it would prefer to stay in Germany (an important regional technology center and Europe's largest economy), the risk was too great to stay there. It is reportedly concerned that a court decision expected April 17 on patents could halt sales and distribution of its Xbox gaming consoles and Windows 7 software. To sidestep any potential business fallout from the ruling, the company opted to head across the border, where it's considered safer to warehouse physical goods, because there's less of a chance of facing court-imposed injunctions.
Motorola Mobility, which is being bought by Google, filed a lawsuit accusing Microsoft of infringing on a video technology patent. If the court in Mannheim, Germany, rules in favor of Motorola, Microsoft may be banned from distributing some of its products in the country. That would affect shipments to other countries supplied through the German hub. By moving its shipping base outside Germany, Microsoft is ensuring a court order would not affect deliveries to other parts of Europe.
According to the Financial Times, this is the first time a company has implemented such a workaround to Germany's stringent patent laws, which make it easy for patent holders who believe their rights have been infringed to obtain injunctions.
In the last few years, Germany has been a hotbed of patent disputes involving tablet, smartphone, and software makers. Last year, Samsung Electronics was banned from selling two Galaxy tablet models that allegedly imitated Apple's iPad. In February, Motorola enforced an injunction that briefly compelled Apple to stop selling certain devices. A higher court, citing antitrust issues, later said Motorola couldn't demand that from Apple.

VIDEO: JERSEY BOYS Perform on ABC's 'Day of Giving' Hurricane Benefit
Jersey Boys Broadway cast members Matt Bogart (Nick Massi), Drew Gehling (Bob Gaudio), Jeremy Kushnier (Tommy DeVito), and Jarrod Spector (Frankie Valli) performed as part of ABC's "Day of Giving" on Monday, November 5, 2012. Proceeds from the event benefited the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Check out their appearance below!
JERSEY BOYS is the journey of how a group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time: Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide - all before they were thirty.
Jersey Boys is the winner of the 2006 Best Musical Tony Award, the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album and the 2009 Olivier Award for Best New Musical. Directed on Broadway by two-time Tony Award winner Des McAnuff, Jersey Boys is written by Academy Award-winner Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe and choreography by Sergio Trujillo.

What??? I've just logged onto the site, the page formatting is all over the place with the shop headings displayed in a string above anything useful. When you do manage to locate anything you may wish to purchase, the price changes when you get to the checkout section (V4 creature wings going from 5 to 13 odd dollars). Other items in the 1.99 area being priced at over 11 dollars? I am a little confused…...

Columnist Bob Kravitz suspects subtle racism behind the harsher criticism for Chad Ochocinco (left) than Brett Favre.
- Filed Under
On the occasion of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I am reminded of a day that opened my eyes to racial issues and, more specifically, the racial divide.
It was Oct. 3, 1995. We had just played lunchtime pickup basketball at our health club, and most of us -- a group split almost exactly down the middle racially -- walked upstairs and noticed a huge crowd surrounding a television.
Everybody was watching the verdict of the O.J. Simpson murder trial.
Suddenly, the "not guilty'' verdict was announced, and the reaction in that room was, at least to me, at least on that day, completely shocking.
Virtually every white person gasped in horror, blown away that Simpson could somehow beat the system and walk away unscathed.
Virtually every black person rejoiced, clapped, high-fived.
There we were, maybe 20 guys, most or all of us college-educated professionals who lived economically blessed lives, and it was like we were citizens of different planets.
But as a child of very liberal parents, as a kid who grew up in a fairly diverse New York neighborhood where we concentrated on our common love of sports, I was struck:
We. Are. Different.
As much as we want to celebrate our commonalities, the fact is, we are different.
I bring this up on the King holiday because those of us in the media, especially the sports media, have the power to shape opinions, and we have to remain eternally mindful regarding issues of race.
We have to be vigilant about understanding that we all bring cultural and individual biases to the party, even those of us who like to think of ourselves as reasonably color-blind.
And the same goes for fans.
Why do so many white fans have a visceral distaste for Chad Ochocinco, who may not be a great teammate but is generally fun and harmless and has never had issues with the law?
Why don't many white fans have the same negative feeling toward Brett Favre, who has had drug problems, who has been investigated for sexual harassment and is, by almost any measure, among the most selfish athletes in the modern age?
Why was it that so many white fans got upset about high school basketball players going pro, but nobody fretted about baseball and hockey players going pro at 18, or golfers and tennis players getting paid at an even earlier age?
Our old friend Jermaine O'Neal used to have the right answer for that one: "Race,'' he would say with a knowing smile.
Why is it that white wide receivers are always "deceptively fast'' or rate as "possession receivers''?
Again, though, we bring our baggage -- or, as Rob King, a top editor at espn.com recently said, "our stuff.'' By stuff, he meant unique biases, cultural inclinations and racial experiences that are unique to each individual. And all that stuff shapes our views of people and events.
I'm teaching a college journalism class this semester at the Sports Journalism Institute. The other day, I asked how many students held a favorable opinion of LeBron James (after The Decision, etc.) and how many held an unfavorable view.
Four or five hands went up for favorable; three or four of them were from black students.
The rest of the class, 20-something students, ruled unfavorable. All white.
Doesn't make them racist. Doesn't make them misguided or unenlightened. Just makes them human -- both black and white.
And none of us is immune.
I go back to the Pacers-Pistons brawl. At the time, I lumped all the blame on Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson and the guys who went into the stands that night. I insisted that right and wrong have no racial component, and this was wrong.
And yet, I was later confronted by a very interesting question: Would I have the same reaction if a hockey team went over the glass and started whaling on fans -- which has happened a few times over the years?
My initial response was, "Well, no, fighting is part of the culture of the sport.''
Dumb response.
In the years since The Brawl, I've wondered how much of my opinion was based on a deeply emotional reaction to seeing several large, strong black men throwing punches at a mostly white group of fans?
Like most of my media brethren, who are, by and large, an open-minded lot, I try to consider the issues from as many perspectives as possible. And yes, it would help if there was more newsroom diversity, but these days, nobody is getting hired. It also helps that while I'm not a member of a visual minority, my sensibilities are somewhat shaped by being a religious minority. Of course, I've never been pulled over for Driving While Jewish.
So here's what I would ask of myself, and ask of you, the readers and fans, on this King holiday: Acknowledge your baggage, acknowledge your "stuff,'' and take a few moments before passing judgment on people or events in sports. Try to look at things through different eyes, from different angles.
Maybe you'll see a different picture.
Maybe I will, too.

I'll tell you what's not to love - the performance of the engine. I rode a 78 CX a fair amount back in the mid 80s when working at a Honda dealership. Really soft. What would be cool would be to hang one of the 83 CX650 engines in the frame. They had serious power in the same basic engine. They were almost as quick as a CB650 and quicker than the first VT750 Shadows (which weren't slouches).
But still a kinda cool bike ala MotoGuzzi from Japan.
By the way, how often do you have to clean out the sewer drain on that XR650?
Ever get lost?
You know, that good kind of lost - come to a dirt road intersection and you have no idea where you are or which way to turn?
I like when that happens!

Mitt Romney should be glad to be compared to an Etch A Sketch at this point: On Wednesday, former Sen. Arlen Specter kicked the bar way up (or rather, down) in the insulting imagery department by comparing the candidate to a "pornographic movie queen." Because he changes positions so often, you see.
RELATED: Sheldon Adelson Goes Long on Jewish Voters
The Democrat from Pennsylvania made the analogy on MSNBC's Morning Joe, eliciting "awkward chuckles," according to the Huffington Post's Luke Johnson, and causing panelist Donny Deutsch to pipe up, "I did not say that… The great senator from the state of Pennsylvania said that," according to Politico. It's got us wishing the campaign was a lot more like an Etch A Sketch, so we could quickly erase that image from our minds. Video courtesy of the Huffington Post:

Everyone understands that low birthweight babies often come with challenges. However, most expecting parents don't consider the possibility that the carseat they bought or chose to put on their baby registry might not fit baby well if she or he arrives early or is smaller than average at birth.
Of course, you often have no idea ahead of time that you're going to have a preemie or smaller-than-average term baby. But if you're expecting multiples, have a history of preterm labor or just a history of delivering small babies then you really want to be prepared with a carseat that is likely to fit the baby/babies well – regardless of whether they're 4 lbs. or 9 lbs. at discharge.

Evidence Based Care Coordination CAN Work in Medicare
In light of the recent summary from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), "Lessons from Medicare's Demonstration Projects on Disease Management, Care Coordination, and Value-Based Payment" there has been some short-sighted reporting on the findings of the demonstrations that have left some impressions that I feel need correcting. As I've highlighted in a more detailed commentary, it is important to take into account the true scope of the summary and the demonstrations that were conducted in order to provide an accurate assessment of the value of care coordination in Medicare. The solid and growing evidence base around care coordination - the vast majority of which was not included in CBO's document - shows that well-designed programs do work to both improve outcomes and lower costs.
Demonstrations are designed to examine how different program designs affect outcomes. The Medicare disease management and care coordination demonstrations in the report examined a wide range of program designs making broad general conclusions about the programs impossible. While most of the approaches examined did not appear particularly effective, some were, so a reasonable approach here would be to examine the key design features of the successful programs and build on them and to weed out the less successful aspects. Unfortunately though, the reporting on the CBO study simply says care coordination will not work which is just not true.
Would it be entirely fair to suggest that the outcomes concluded from CBO's brief are results of the debilitating increase of chronic disease in our country and the demand that these diseases put on our health care system? Perhaps. But again, broad generalizations still do not guide us to effective solutions. What is clear is that prevention must be a part of any successful and sustainable cost savings solution for our health care system. Well-designed care coordination and prevention programs can work. If we build on what data and evidence has shown to be effective in order to guide investment in and development of programs and policies aimed at better averting, detecting and managing chronic diseases, like diabetes, heart disease and cancer, we can give it our best shot at transforming the system into one of true health care as opposed to sick care.
What is critical to implementing valuable solutions within our health care system is not to be immediately dismissive of programs that don't provide 100 percent positive results, but rather to be collaborative in our approach to health care by piecing together a variety of core components that do work – this is exactly the crux of care coordination in the first place. One size fits all is not a productive mindset in health care, and if the overall health of our nation continues on its current path of one of more chronic diseases per patient, this will ring increasingly true as leaders in policy and health care grapple for cost effective ways to manage the health of our nation.

Great Training Fins

In my daughter's case, the XXS was too small unlike the other sizes that tend to run large. We had to size up, and I bought her swim booties to take up the space. It had made a difference in her breast stroke kick technique and power. It does create drag in the pull out phase of the start/turn which forces her to pull harder. Like any equipment, if you don't use it regularly, you don't gain the benefits.

Sizing is the problem here. Woman wears a size 8 shoe. XS is too tight (like wearing a 61/2 shoe) but small is too large (like wearing a size 9 shoe).
Fins work - be careful they make you use muscles that are rarely used.....you will be sore.
Great Fins!

I just got these fins due to the need to "feel the water." They are definately a great help! Keeps you honest, with hip adduction and rotation, helps with the feel for ankle rotation. Upon advice from my Masters Coach, I had been wearing socks with my regular fins. I put socks on with these and had a great fit. No "play", no rubbing. If you want help with the breast kick, these are the fins! I wear a 12 mens shoe, I got the gray 10-12 fins. Great fit! Worth every penny!

The fins seem to fit a little small and cut a little on the sizes by the ankle, but they do train your feet to position the right way in breaststroke kick.

These are the most hideous looking things I have ever seen. But, they work for what they're made for. Sizes are unisex so I had to order the XS for my 9 yr old daughter who wears a size 4 shoe and they're still a tad loose. People have suggested wearing socks with them if they're too big, but they don't seem to fall off of her once she gets in the water with them.

On the other side i was thought that the internet would one day unite people in a contstructive way, like for example opensource communities.
However the good old blog somehow fails te reproduce some better text then what it started with.
Just to sketch the framework of the problem a bit.
Imagine a political party would like to end nuclear energy for some reason.
How could a blog handle the hundreds of people having a different or the same political ides, or even convince all the other people.
Therfore i wonder if blogs are on their end these days, and what i mostly wonder do you have allready seen something that could handle the political problem just sketched, so a goverment could make a choice on a subject listening to all those people who gave their more or less important fews (in regard to the other parties view) of such an idea. Such a next system should be able to solve the democratic problems we face today.
Please keep out the posts to be just the first poster,
Or those that leave out a democratic solution for humanity.
Rather dont post many replies, as i wont read it (oh yes i still believe your funny, no need to prove it here)

There are some diffrerces between people. Those with feeling and those with less feelings
The people you talk about have most of their feeling inside sharestocks, bonus systems, and bailouts. Like you they want to be rich quick. And like you they realy dont like all the dirty work. But instead of you they like the dirty way of getting those bucks.
Its no problem for them to fire you, if that will bring them more money by saving some costs. Its no problem either to sell the company, if it returns a quick win on their balance.
The problem is that current company models even promoto such behaviours, and as a result managed get dirty quick, and terrible. They get short sighted visions of how to manage a company. And mark my works the big companies heve the most trouble with this.
Cause if you layer a company with multiple management layers. all those small managers want to be on top, get a bigger sallary. In the end there is not much listening on what realy happens on the workfloor. People are reduced to numbers, and so bussines plans. The people who should make decisions are surounded by lower management who always agrees on whatever they say. Making such companies verry weak.
If the top people from microsoft or aple, like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs leave their companie. And from a family companie it becomes a pure shareholder company (in about two generations) then all those tiny managers start to fight their way up, with little control on them. Their divisions are so often reorganised, that they only see solutions in going up, to earn more, and to get away from the workfloor. While the workfloor get so many new management styles / reorganisations the people loose their connection with their work too. In the end people dont love the company and often leave as a result. The older technical people take a lot of knowledge with them out of the company, while the company with less technical knowledge strugles to survive with the people that stay...
The problem what causes is the way people get payed a bonus, those systems are for too short time ranges. For example if you sell a part of the company for a shortrun moneymaker. Then you shouldnt earn a bonus for it.. when you remove people you remove knowledge of a company. Even if they where on diffrent tracks then the main focus. Real good management would intergrate their focus to the main track. and so be more diverse.
That will cost you more management time, but will return in more profit in the long run.
However.. by use of "fantastic" tools like SAP and others... people loose the picture on whats realy going on inside companies. REason people can make good disicions on large numbers (thats been proven), our imagination cannt just handle it good, so money gets like invisible inside a company. It comes in but how and why exactly, and on what does it realy depend ?? on who ??.. smoke i tell you..
Its better to rethink bonus systems if you want a company thats stable, in the end you know even a company is a social thing, people forget. People joined it because they wanted to be part of it, to work together. If a bonus system results in anti social behaviour then there is something wrong, its not the goal of the social structure to fall appart, then it becomes less productive, till it even falls down like the banks did.

Compared to the energy required to get it up there.
What if you would use all that energy and craftmanship to build windmills..
Todays big windmills (huge ones) can generate up to 6MW of power. (= 6000 kW)
Mow we're talking watts.. but still a normal powerplant generates about 500 to 1.300MW
So you could remove a small one with about 100 windmills, that sounds perhaps as to much, but actualy there are more airplaines and cars builded each year. So perhaps create windmills for a while instead of cars.. (hmm not such a bad idea)
But with some clever engineering you could produce somehthing that doesnt use wind but seacurrent flow. since water is heavier, it is much more powerfull for propelling a generator.

YIELD: Serves 6
To make marinade:
In a blender or small food processor blend marinade ingredients with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large sealable plastic bag combine pork with marinade. Seal bag, pressing out excess air, and put in a shallow baking dish. Marinate pork, chilled, turning occasionally, at least 1 day and up to 2 days.
Prepare grill.
Let pork stand at room temperature about 30 minutes before grilling. Remove pork from marinade, letting excess drip off, and grill on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning every 5 minutes, until a meat thermometer registers 160°F., 15 to 20 minutes.
Transfer meat to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve pork with onion marmalade.
To make the jalapeno onion marmelade:
In a large heavy skillet cook onions in oil with salt and pepper to taste over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. Add jalapeños and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add honey or sugar and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add vinegar and simmer, stirring, until almost all liquid is evaporated. Add water and simmer, stirring, until mixture is slightly thickened and onions are very tender, about 10 minutes. Season marmalade with salt and pepper. Marmalade may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat marmalade before serving.

"The Theory That He Acted Alone..." (cont.)
6:14 PM, Dec 26, 2009 • By WILLIAM KRISTOL
From the article now up on the Washington Post website:
It's already likely--based on other reporting--that his premise is incorrect. But it's amazing how deep the wishfulness is among "authorities"--especially, I think, the FBI--that all these guys be found to be acting alone. It turns out, in case after case, that these individuals are in some kind of contact with al Qaeda types abroad. But that would make this more of an ongoing war, less of a law enforcement problem--so the law enforcement authorities try to wish the facts away.
Parts of the Bush administration, at least, pushed against this wishfulness. One hopes there are people in the Obama administration who, once repeatedly mugged by reality, will learn the appropriate lessons--and act on them.

Solving data consistency problems from Active Directory tombstones
Active Directory tombstones can cause problems with data consistency. Domain controllers need to be backed up as often as tombstones, if not more.
Can Active Directory tombstones cause problems with AD restoration?
To ensure proper replication between domain controllers, deleted objects are first converted into special objects...

called "tombstones."
As changes to Active Directory (AD) are replicated between domain controllers, the tombstones are also replicated -- effectively deleting the same objects on other domain controllers. However, tombstones take up space in storage, so they are given a finite lifetime and finally deleted from disk once their lifetime expires (60 days by default).
Active Directory tombstones can cause data consistency problems for AD restoration. If a domain controller is restored to state before an object was deleted, and a tombstone for that deleted object is not replicated to the restored controller (e.g., the tombstone for that object had already expired), then that old object will remain on the restored domain controller and cause severe AD problems. In actual practice, AD may prevent restoration if the backup is older than the tombstone lifetime.
This puts the onus on administrators to ensure domain controllers are backed up at least as frequently as tombstone lifetimes. As a rule, domain controllers should be backed up at least twice within the tombstone lifetime to help ensure all tombstones are available for proper replication to restored domain controllers.
IT administrators must understand how Active Directory iterations are coordinated and maintained, and domain controllers require careful protection using tools designed to accommodate those unique behaviors. Improper backup and restoration can easily result in data consistency and rollback issues that spell catastrophe for the enterprise. It's important to select adequate backup tools for the job, test those tools thoroughly, use the tools frequently, and implement restoration processes that will ensure continued domain controller operation.

For the garlic mayonnaise. Add the crushed garlic to the mayonnaise, stir and set to one side.
For the chicken stew:
Heat the oil in a heavy based pan. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown all over. Add the chopped pepper, chilli and lemon zest and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the stock, cleaned potatoes and saffron. Bring up to the boil, cover and cook for 20 minutes. When cooked remove the chicken and potatoes and keep warm. Add the leeks to the pot and simmer until the stock has reduced by a third. Blend the stock and vegetables to a puree. Beat the garlic mayonnaise slowly into the sauce and season with salt and black pepper.
To serve, put the chicken and potatoes into a bowl, pour the sauce over, garnish with the chopped parsley and serve with crusty bread.

April 16–October 12, 2008
Japonisme in American Graphic Art, 1880–1920 explores the myriad manifestations of Japonisme in a selection of rarely seen American works on paper from the Brooklyn Museum's permanent collection. Concurrent with the so-called "Japan craze" in America was a renewed interest in graphic arts: as watercolor, pastel, etching, and other graphic media came to be appreciated for their artistry and expressivity, they also reflected the impact of Japanese art. Color woodcuts by late-eighteenth- and nineteenth-century masters such Hiroshige, Hokusai, and Kuniyoshi were avidly collected in the West and served as particularly influential models of stylistic and technical innovation for American artists. (Examples of such prints are on view in the special exhibition Utagawa: Masters of the Japanese Print, 1770–1900, through June 15, 2008, and in the online exhibition Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous Views of Edo.)
Inspired by their encounters with the arts of Japan, the artists featured in Japonisme in American Graphic Art, 1880–1920 adopted Japanese subjects and design elements, embraced Eastern aesthetic principles, and sometimes even traveled to Japan to study its cultural traditions firsthand. Their resulting works demonstrate the variety and breadth of Japanese influence on American graphic arts at the turn of the twentieth century.
Japonisme in American Graphic Art, 1880–1920 was organized by Karen A. Sherry, Assistant Curator of American Art.

About Verity Pulford
I am a Glass Artist living and working in North Wales. I studied Applied Art/Architectural Glass at N.E.W.I in 2006 and gained a 1st Class Hons. Degree. I create wall pieces, vessels, functional ware, jewellery and architectural commissions using fusing, sandblasting and other glass techniques. I sell and exhibit my work in galleries and outlets throughout the U.K. In my current work I am investigating light and layers within nature. My inspiration comes from the beautiful countryside around me in North Wales, the mountains, forests, rivers and meadows. I am influenced by the seasons, using plants which I have collected from my garden and the countryside. In this way my work is constantly evolving- every piece being unique. I fuse glass, coloured frits, enamels and use sandblasting to create layers of pattern and depth, sometimes combining this with handpainted and screenprinted imagery. The pieces are fired several times to create these effects. My installation work has been about communicating memories and emotions. The way in which they are viewed is crucial, the glass has been displayed with under lighting in either small boxes, sets of drawers or tunnels which the viewer has to interact with. I want the viewer to feel they are seeing something private, to feel absorbed within a private memory or moment in time.

Here is the full quote by Gabe:
I'm hoping for something Half-Life related but it's Valve so I'm also prepared to be disappointed. My guess is we'll be adding "12 months" to Valve time in Sep' 11.
We have three pretty big surprises in the next 12 months at least; I can guarantee you people are going to be surprised at stuff we do. That isn't going to stop anytime soon. I'm just laughing because…people will be shocked again.

After Israel, African kids start afresh in Uganda
KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Speak no Hebrew.
That's what Ugandan teachers repeatedly tell the South Sudanese teenagers transplanted here from Israel. But Hebrew is what they speak when they are not being watched; it's the language they grew up with as migrants.
Some 70 South Sudanese teenagers now call Kampala their home after they were deported from — or voluntarily left — Israel, which is trying to rid itself of tens of thousands of African migrants. In recent years Africans have poured into Israel, causing friction with locals and alarming some authorities who say Israel's Jewish character is threatened by the presence of the Africans.
After leaving Israel the teenagers spent a few months in their home country, South Sudan, where they struggled because of the threat of hunger, tropical diseases and the country's political tensions. They later were relocated to Uganda thanks mainly to the work of an Israeli activist who has criticized his country's policy toward African migrants as Israel's "moment of shame."
The 44-year-old activist, Rami Gudovitch, entered the lives of the teenagers as both father figure and friend, first by trying to prevent their impending deportations from Israel and then by finding families willing to sponsor their education in Africa. In December 2012 he put a group of them on a bus leaving the South Sudanese capital of Juba for Kampala, where the children hoped to return to school and start afresh as refugees. Many of those now enrolled at a private boarding school in Kampala have Israeli benefactors who pay their tuition of about $1,000, charity for which they are grateful but which doesn't cancel the memory of the country they called home for much of their life.
They must adjust to a different culture and school system, often without the help of family. Many students who should be one or two years away from taking college-entrance examinations are now stuck in lower grade school because their English is not adequate, a serious consequence of the transition from Israel, where they were instructed in Hebrew.
"When they first came here they had a language barrier," said Alex Gumisiriza, a science teacher who heads academic programs at Trinity School. "But now they are catching up."
Several of the teenagers who spoke to The Associated Press said they left Israel in 2011 or 2012 and lived in South Sudan before coming to Uganda. The move had effectively broken up their families, with many going months without seeing their parents. Although some said their parents had chosen to return to South Sudan in response to growing anti-refugee sentiment in Israel, many were deported.
"We were told that in Israel they didn't want refugees, that there were many refugees in the country," said Victoria James, a bubbly 16-year-old student whose family lived in Tel Aviv. "It was very bad. I was going to live in a country that I knew nothing about."
James said she misses her friends, who occasionally chat with her on Facebook, and her teachers. Quite a few of the students said they miss Tel Aviv's big malls, of which there are not many in Uganda. Others recall the good basketball courts there.

The Nike Alpha is designed for Pro athletes who need both support and speed. For that reason, the Nike Alpha Pro is offered in both a low and mid cut and with a molded or detachable plate. No matter which combination you choose, you're getting the lightweight support of Dynamic Flywire technology, locking the foot exactly where it needs to be for stability on cuts. Each also includes a wedge Phylon™ midsole that cushions the middle of the foot while allowing the forefoot to remain responsive and explosive.
The molded Nike Alpha Pro uses a TPU and Pebax� combination to hold adaptive forefoot cleats. The traction system amps up your control, especially on the edge. If you choose detachable cleats instead, you'll get a seven-stud pattern design for sharp cutting. The Alpha cleats have always been popular among players, but this new design is the lightest and most stable one yet.
Ready to get your hands on serious performance? The Nike Alpha Pro Cleat is not just available in a wide range of varsity team colors. You can also get it in a color combination that matches any team in professional football.

30 year old man | Denver, CO, USA | Seeking women 18-38 within 50 miles
Strong weakness for petit women with brown eyes and dark hair.
Petite girls are my total weakness. I like smaller women who are intillegent, and think for themselves. I'm a radical photographic artist and musician, so I like artist girls and musician girls, as long as they're not "extremist-feminist" types (that is a big deal breaker). My biggest attraction are to the petite mixed-race women, with dark hair and hazel eyes. If she has a nice shaped butt/hips/legs as well, then she might be so completely attractive to me, that she can capture my total attention. Some women like this are so attractive that i'd have a hard time not overlooking any flaw to enjoy her presence and passions... I like women with a smaller butt/hips, and sexy legs. The better her body shape, the hotter my attraction gets, the hotter my attraction; the more I am willing to consider making some kind of monogamous or committed romance/sexual relationship. I know a good woman once I'm with her, and once I know for sure I've got a good one, I'll do what it takes to keep the attention and love of my lady. Places I have LIVED in during the past ten years: Paris, FR '02-'06 Honolulu, HI '04-'06 Vancouver BC, CA '06-'07 San Francisco CA '07-'08 Ann Arbor MI '08-'11 Hilo, HI '11-'12 Kona HI 2012Santa Cruz CA 2012 Highland MI 2013 Ann Arbor MI '12-'13 Denver, CO. Since I spent my late teens and early 20's in Europe, mostly Paris; drinking and partying is all played out for me and has been since I was 22. I don't drink any alcohol excpt the occasional culinary usage (like a glass of wine, or rarely an "aperitif"); club-rats are a big turn off. I sometimes use medical cannabis for nerve pain, and will not ever apologize for it. I'm extremely well educated in human Psychology and Spirituality, so don't tell me about your pop-psyche amateur diagnosises of persons X, Y, and Z. Also having arbitrary ambitions is not a good thing to me. If you're over 30, and still don't have your major life-goals sorted out, then we are not a match. Curriculum Vitae: I can read French and understand it too, but don't speak it all that well, since I moved there at 17. I finished high-school in Paris, and then started undergraduate college at University of Hawaii in Honolulu, at 19 in 2004. Now, at 28 I've got six courses remaining to complete my B.S., to walk with a Philosophy Major/ Psychology Minor. I love it when a chick knows how to have fun and be sexy all at the same time. I appericate when a woman is in touch with her own passions, and body too. I'd like to get to know someone, and share fun expirences with. Petite girls are my weakness; if that describes you please message me! I like smaller women who are intillegent and think for themselves. Cluture-whores and 30 year old club-girls are a major turn off and red flag. If all you have you offer is physical beauty, I will be bored with you very quickly; so I hope you're a sharp wit. I'm not one of these neutered men who will appologize for their masculinity and only talks in politically correct terms and perspectives. I came of age in Europe, where intillect is paramount and where women are loyal, beautiful, smart, and are not raised to be entitled little princesses as many many American women are. I do not care if my masculinity or clairty is offensive to you - so spare me. I'm picky, because I have so very much to offer and will not settle for someone who is not concerned with their physical appearance, or self-respect. NOTE, BODY WEIGHTS: I am definitively not sexually attracted to any woman who weighs more than I do (175lbs). I like to be able to lift and manhandle women during sex. Generally speaking, obesity is very very not appealing. I will clearly state this in advance, (to avoid hurting anyone's feelings!); that I am only interested in a woman under 170lbs and under 6 feet tall!] Please don't waste your time, trying to convince me that fat women are sexy, with that "Big Beautiful Woman" bs, it is just plain unattractive to me; sorry.

Some other viewpoint
I'm new to Colorado so everyting's still an adventure. I want someone to go walking in the mountains and city with. And someone who is comfortable spending time with, and actually get to know.
University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, HI
I'm a Prose Writer and Poet, Satirist; Experienced Meditator; Very Experienced Surfer, having lived in Hawaii, too for almost half a decade; also decent Ski/Snowboarder too; Philosopher; Lover; Amateur-Musician (rock, and blues guitar); Entrepreneur.
Adventures and romance are easy, let's go! Let's go to out for drinks and dinner, or walking and talking in nature. As long as we can get to know each other. I don't like dinner movie until we already know each other already.

Comments about Fender Custom Shop Custom Deluxe Stratocaster Electric Guitar:
If you are thinking this guitar isn't much of a change from a standard american strat than you are far off. The quality of the wood on this custom deluxe is amazing, tonal wise and just looks. The pickups are well laid and a nice combo, especially coming from a american strat. You go from crystal clear to gritty rock with this twanger. The neck is a bit fatter and will need a few tries to get use to it. The clarity of the notes is amazing. You can always hear the guitar during whatever you do to it. I was originally going to buy JM strat but I have an american and I could just swap out the originals for the big dippers. It is pricey but you pay for what you get. If you can find a used model I would recommend getting that. Go try it out and make the dramatic step up from american standard strats.

I got this guitar today (Christmas) as a step up from my 65' mustang reissue. A big step up. I was looking for a much smoother tone and less of an "icepick" sound. I was using the stock Fender Hot Rod Deluxe overdrive channel which is very thin sounding, though today and I also got a Fulltone Full Drive 2 Mosfet (best O.D pedal I've ever played through without a doubt). The second I got his guitar the finish was just AMAZING. I got an extremely limited transparent cobalt blue finish with a very figured ash body from a private seller and it was the best looking guitar I ever saw. I then played it unplugged and the whole body just shook with resonance. The neck is the perfect size for me. I like larger necks like on the 62' hot rod Strat but this one is just perfect and the Birdseye and 6150 frets are amazing. I then plugged it in clean and the 69'/Texas special combo sounded incredible. I try to get a sound like Hendrix/SRV with my own twist and this does it PERFECTLY. The neck and middle pickups are clean and clear and have a very balanced sound and the bridge pickup is hot and trebley but the neck pickup is my favorite. The two pint tremolo with pop in arm stays in tune much better than a vintage six point especially in combination with Schaller locking tuners and Ernie Ball regular slinkies.. The Schaller strap locks are very easy to put on and work a lot better than Dunlop's. I gave a 4.5 on features just to point out that this is just a Strat. Nothing special about it. There is no TBX, mid boost, Noiseless pickups, peizo bridge or S-1 switching and because of that, this is an amazing, simple tone machine. By the way buy a new strap, the one that comes with it is the worst thing I've ever seen. Also the cord is very good.

Spent 2 yrs. lookin at Strats & strat style guitars. Always came back to Fender Strats for the sound and quality. Found my FCS Custom Deluxe with ash body and Surf Pearl nitro. Stunning!! Same set up as the specs with a maple neck (AA flame upgrade) The pick ups are unbelievable! Almost dead silent and great clarity, but with the ability to sound Trowerish & SRVish through a Gibson Goldtone GA15 and my fender Vibro-Champ(1966) Snarly Overdrive with amps cranked and a toadworks Txflood pedal. Great Quack. Neck is comfortable and a work of art. This is my first guitar where I'm not changing a think on it! This beauty will not dissapoint! BUY!BUY!BUY!
