Police said the driver in a crash that killed two cyclists in New Hampshire did not have a license and had been stopped hours earlier for speeding.
HAMPTON, N.H. (AP) _ Hampton Deputy Police Chief Richard Sawyer tells the Portsmouth Herald 20-year-old Darriean Hess of Seabrook was stopped at 12:46 am Saturday for speeding in the same area where the crash happened eight hours later.
He said she didn't have a license. She was ticketed and ordered to wait for a friend to drive her car away.
Police said Hess was driving again around 8:30 a.m. Saturday when her vehicle crossed the centerline and hit four cyclists participating in a 100-mile ride.
The crash killed two Massachusetts women: 60-year-old Pamela Wells of South Hamilton, and 42-year-old Elise Bouchard of Danvers. Two other riders were injured, police said.
The investigation continues. Sawyer said Hess took a blood test that will check for alcohol or other substances.

Interstate 17 reopens north at New River after tanker rolls over
PHOENIX — A portion of a freeway north of Phoenix was closed for nearly
nine hours after an oil tanker rolled over.
Arizona Department of Transportation officials said the tanker truck rolled onto
its side around 4 a.m. Thursday in the northbound lanes of Interstate 17 about
35 miles north of Phoenix.
State Department of Public Safety spokesman Bart Graves said the driver drifted
toward another truck and overcorrected, but he suffered only minor injuries.
KTVK-TV reports as much as 500 gallons of used motor oil may have spilled.
The northbound lanes of I-17 near the accident scene were reopened about 1 p.m.
ADOT officials said the extended closure was needed to remove the tanker and for
a hazardous materials crew to remove spilled oil from the road.

Long before Black Label Skateboards was a glimmer of a thought, John Lucero grew up in Southern California skating in the local skateparks during the late 1970s. Skateparks like Skatopia in Buena Park fueled the fire of young kids to invent new tricks and push their limits. Lucero was one of those kids, and through the years his creativity, innovation and do-it-for-fun attitude played a major role in what skateboarding is today.

UT Martin (3-7)
Lipscomb (4-4)
12/8/2012 | Nashville, Tenn. (Allen Arena) | Attendance: 2129
Saturday, December 08, 2012
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Behind a career-high, 22-point effort from sophomore forward Martin Smith, the Lipscomb men's basketball team cruised to a 86-62 nonconference win over UT Martin on Saturday night at Allen Arena.
With twin brother and leading scorer Malcom in dress clothes on the Lipscomb bench due to an injury, Martin stepped up his sibling's absence with a 6-for-12 night from the field along with a perfect 9-for-9 evening at the charity stripe.
The injury also meant more playing time for the Lipscomb bench and freshman guard John Ross Glover capitalized on his time on the floor with 13 points including a jam in the second half that brought the Lipscomb faithful to their feet.
"It was unfortunate that Malcolm got hurt but it enabled John Ross and Talbott (Denny) to get more minutes and get more comfortable on the floor," said Lipscomb head coach Scott Sanderson. "That just comes with time and being on the floor and being able to play through some mistakes.
"When you're playing other teams like Murray State, Ole Miss or Kentucky, mistakes are magnified and you don't get to play through mistakes quite as often but with Malcolm being out, it gave them the opportunity to play a few more minutes. I thought John Ross, especially offensively, did some nice things. He's got to continue to work defensively. I thought Talbott did some good things as well."
The Bisons broke open a close game late in the second half by upping the defensive pressure on the Skyhawks. Leading 23-19 with 8:20 to play in the opening stanza, the Bisons went on a 12-3 run to make the score 35-22 on a Glover jumper. Lipscomb then capped off the first half with a trey from senior guard Deonte Alexander at the buzzer to give the Bisons a 46-27 lead at the break.
"I thought the last 10 minutes of the first half we were good defensively," said Sanderson. "We rotated well, covered the baseline, covered the back side and went on a run there to get (the lead) to 19 points. That's how we've got to play defensively for longer periods of time."
The top rebounding team in the A-Sun, the Bisons continued their strong play on the boards outrebounding UT Martin 49-33 led by Khion Sankey and Oscar Garcia, who each had seven.
"Pretty much all year besides two games, we've done a good job rebounding the basketball," said Sanderson. "I think that's something we can do. We've got to continue to do it. We got 18 offensive rebounds, which some of those were stick backs for baskets. When you rebound the ball 18 times on the offensive boards it allows you to shoot more free throws.
"We shot 34 (free throws) and made 24 which is an improvement from where we've been shooting. 70 percent from the free-throw line, I think we'd sign up for that right now for the rest of the season."
Alexander matched Glover in scoring as each posted a baker's dozen. Freshman Stephen Hurt also finished in double figures for the Bisons with 10. UT Martin was paced by Khristian and Myles Taylor, who each had 14 points.
After a short break in the schedule this week for exams, the Bisons return to action next Saturday against No. 17 Kentucky at Rupp Arena. Televised on Fox Sports Net, the game gets underway at 11:30 a.m. Be sure to tune in to 102.5 The Game to hear all of the action live from the "Bluegrass State."

WEST CARTHAGE For the past two weeks, 230 students learned to play the ukulele, made compost and practiced theater.
The elementary and middle school students presented a showcase tinged with art and science to parents and teachers Friday at Carthage High Schools auditorium, enlivening the event with pop songs via a ukulele and dance show.
Weve had (Carthage After School Enrichment) summer programs for four years, said Marilyn Bish, the Carthage Central School Districts director of grants and projects. We started with just 20 students, and this year we have 230.
The programs, which also run during the school year, help build childrens character and responsibility, as well as develop natural talents, through individual classes and team-building activities.
Students also practice their academic skills without them knowing it, Mrs. Bish said.
Samantha G. Schroeder, 10, learned how to use clay to make jewelry and pottery. Multiple pieces were made by mixing different types of clay and glazes, then they were fired in a kiln.
Its fun to work with clay and see how things turned out, she said.
Her favorite project was one that she made out of leftover clay: Turbo the snail.
Channing E. Runyon, 7, learned about both art and science in the Eco-Kids and Mixed Media Arts class.
We do science about animals and bugs, she said. We actually found a frog.
She said she enjoyed the class and plans to use the skills she learned this summer at home.
We learned that making stuff like compost is good for the environment and never throwing away plastic stuff ever again, she said.
It was not just a learning experience for students, however. Readers Theater and Photo Story class teacher Kathleen B. Branski said she plans to use plays to teach her first-graders how to read in the fall.
This is a wonderful program, she said. I love that the arts are incorporated. Theyre still learning the standards of school, but its all hands-on.
During the two-week course, she used plays at different reading levels for students going into first through fourth grades. She said practicing reading plays and creating shows meant students were practicing high-frequency words, phrasing and expression.
It allows all levels of readers to participate, and theyre working as a team, she said.
The programs are funded by a Department of Defense Education Activity Domestic Dependent Elementary and Secondary Schools grant and a YMCA Department of the Army grant.
To sign up for the fall programs, contact Jeanne Korman at 493-5123 for registration forms.

Kathy Fitzpatrick, coastal engineer with Martin County keeps, watch over bathtub beach while Martin County engineers build a protective dune line to protect MacArthur Boulevard. Strong surf and wlnds are causing heavy erosion to the beach.
Kite surfers Rick Larson (left), of Palm City, and C. J. McKinney, of Stuart, make good use of the high wind and rough surf developing from approaching Hurricane Sandy at Stuart Beach on Thursday afternoon. "It's just awesome," Larson said about getting lots of air time from the stormy conditions. "You float up there and it's amazing, you can see over the dunes and it's beautiful."
Jerry Alvarez, of Martin County's Engineering department, guides a dump truck operator as 1,600 tons of sand are brought Bathtub Beach in Stuart to defend against flooding of MacArthur Boulevard from approaching Hurricane Sandy on Thursday. "We've got some waves that are building up," said Kathy Fitzpatrick of Martin County Coastal Engineering "We had been hit out here at bathtub beach pretty hard with the extremely high tides and minimal storm we had last week, so we only had a small thin dune remaining out here and that dune is the only thing that seperates the Atlantic Ocean from Macarthur Boulevard which is a major evacuation route for about 253 property owners. so we started yesterday (Wednesday) trucking out sand.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Marcel Hirscher travels as last year's winner to Zagreb, where, at Epiphany, the next challenge of the January slalom rally is scheduled, "My Snow Queen Trophy, a glass crown, was unfortunately broken. During the World Cup finals in Schladming suddenly someone from Zagreb gave me a new one, that was cool." In January, the giant slalom Redster D2 will only be in use once, in Adelboden. "I'm spend-ing January, including the parallel event in Moscow, on slalom skis." And by saying so, the Atomic complete athlete is talking about is own Icon series.
"Racing in the World Cup is the best preparation we have for racing at the World Ski Championships." Marcel Hirscher likes the annual slalom staccato in January. "You've fully got the rhythm and there's little time left for thinking. The concentration is always at a high level." The classic (and most difficult) slopes in Adelboden, Wengen und Kitzbühlen are exactly his thing, the current slalom World Cup leader says. "Probably difficult conditions, extremely tight radii, perfect for the Redster setup."
It will be his 100th World Cup race on legendary Ganslernhang with its phenomenal atmosphere. "I think last year's World Cup finals in Schladming were quite a pretty good taste of what we have to expect this year: a red-white-red wave of enthusiasm – and I hope I will be able to give people reason for it", Marcel Hirscher laughed.

TOWN OF TONAWANDA, NY - Amigone Funeral Home is taking another crack at trying to re-open its controversial crematory.
This time, Amigone wants to move it only a few feet from its current location in the Town of Tonawanda.
However, many residents near Amigone have been outraged at the environmental hazards Amigone has caused the community -- residents like, Neal Hodgson, who lives in the Town of Tonawanda.
"No smells of bodies being burned, remains, nothing, it's been wonderful," Hodgson said, who would like to keep his neighborhood pleasant.
Word is spreading quickly among Hodgson's neighbors that Amigone wants to reopen its controversial crematory and that doesn't sit well with him.
"We've been suffering through their contamination, their particles, their heavy metals, their human ash in our neighborhoods for over 20 years," said Hodgson.
Amigone Funeral Home wants to move its crematory, which is shutdown to another part of its property at 2600 Sheridan Drive.
The proposed site would be at the corner of Parker Avenue and Sheridan, where there's currently a parking lot. But first, Amigone needs the approval from the Erie County Legislature to make the location "cemetery land."
Amigone asked Republican Legislator Kevin Hardwick if he'd lead the effort to get this done. Hardwick tells 2 On Your Side that he wouldn't present a resolution supportive of Amigone.
"I think it's going to be tough to relocate it just moving it across the parking lot, I just don't see the residents going along with that," he said.
A year ago, Amigone agreed to stop operating at the current location. Under the agreement, Amigone also agreed to give the State Attorney General's office two weeks notice before expressing interest that it wants to open. The state, at that time, could still pursue more legal action to prevent that.
The agreement came after a public outcry that the operation was polluting the air and causing a terrible smell.
Amigone plans to restart its operation even if it doesn't get county legislature approval.
"I think I had a discussion this morning with their attorney and I think I made it quite plain, I didn't think it was a good idea to open up the crematory in its current location," Hardwick said.
Amigone is trying to get legislators to pass a resolution by Thursday that would allow the crematory to move. Thursday is a key day because after that, the legislature will be out of session until September.
Amigone did try to move the crematory to another location in an industrial zone, but this did not pass the town council because it was too close to residents.

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — They might not have won the Little League World Series championship, but the Cumberland American Little League all-stars proved one last time on Tuesday afternoon why they are champions.
Connor Mastin, Max Hanuschak and Conor Lavallee delivered clutch sixth-inning hits and Colin Cannata scored the winning run on an error as Cumberland roared back from a four-run, sixth-inning deficit to edge Rotterdam, Netherlands, 8-7, in a consolation game at Lamade Stadium.
Not even playing through an earthquake that hit around mid-game -- that players and coaches said they did not feel -- slowed down Cumberland in its final game.
"I love the way we ended our season in dramatic fashion like that because that's the way we've been. We've fallen behind in many a game, big games, and this was a big game, our final game as Little Leaguers together, and to win this game at the Little League World Series is the best way to end our season," Cumberland manager Dave Belisle said. "That's how we win. We're fighters and that was what this New England team represented this year, a team that fought to the very end."
The Netherlands scored five runs in the top of the sixth, turning a 3-2 deficit into a 7-3 lead. Three outs away from defeat, however, Cumberland seemingly had the Netherlands right where it wanted it.
Everything remained positive in the dugout between innings and Mastin ignited the game-winning rally when he belted a leadoff double. He scored a batter later on Hanuschak's single before Chris Wright reached on an error. Lavallee followed with an infield single, loading the bases for Cannata, who was hit by a pitch that made it 7-5.
James Belisle then mimicked his clutch play from the district championship when he delivered a key hit, this time bringing in the tying runs with a hard grounder that was thrown away at second base.
"I was walking to the plate and my friends were on base and we're down two and it was all on me, so I was thinking base hit so we could score the runs," James Belisle said.
Stephen Dugas produced the winning run a batter later. He belted a hard line drive that was caught at first base. When the Netherlands first baseman tried doubling Belisle off first, the ball skitted away and Cannata crossed home.
Cumberland players and coaches soon engulfed Cannata as its enthusiastic fans erupted with joy. Talk about putting an exclamation point on a historic season in which it became the first team from its league to reach the Series.
"Winning that final (New England Regional) game in Bristol felt really good," Cannata said. "But just to win on this type of stage, this kind of baseball game in front of this many people and this nice of a stadium at the Little League World Series just feels amazing."
Mastin stuck out seven in four strong innings of work, while Ryan McCormick earned the win in relief. Mastin took a no-hitter into the fourth inning and Jacob Glod produced Cumberland's first run in the third inning, slamming an RBI triple that scored McCormick.
Cumberland is headed home Wednesday and will receive a hero-like welcome upon its return. A police escort will guide the all-stars into their hometown where there likely will be a thousand or so fans eagerly awaiting. When Belisle also mentioned that the Boston Red Sox have something planned for the team at a postgame press conference, the eyes of Cannata, James Belisle, and Wright all lit up.
As much as those fans liked the team winning, it appreciated how it won even more. Cumberland came from behind in both the state and regional championships, and yesterday's dramatic ending seemed the proper sendoff.
"We want to go back home to our town and celebrate with the people who have been following us since the beginning," Dave Belisle said. "The kids haven't seen what's been going on back home. It's been a frenzy, the whole state of Rhode Island. I guess we gave Rhode Island a very positive light of things to forget about their worries. At least for a couple of weeks, there was something positive happening here in Williamsport with a bunch of young kids who are playing some baseball, working with young kids, and sharing ideas and making friendships that will last forever."

Ed Koch, the three term New York City mayor known his larger than life personality and penchant for the big and small screen, died early Friday morning after months of health complications. He was 88.
The official cause of death was congestive heart failure, his spokesperson, George Arzt told the New York Times.
Koch had been in and out of the hospital since September for different respiratory problems: one stay in September, one in December and two trips throughout January.
A spokesperson announced on Thursday, January 31 that Koch had been placed in the intensive care unit at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
Edward Irving Koch was born on December 12, 1924 in the Bronx and grew up in Newark. He served in the U.S. Army from 1943 to 1946, fought in World War II and rose to the rank of sergeant.
Koch was elected mayor in 1977 after serving in Congress since 1969 where he represented parts of the Bronx. He went on to win elections in 1981 and 1985, but Manhattan Borough President David Dinkins ousted Koch in a 1989 Democratic primary.
In the 20-plus years since leaving City Hall, Koch has still been active in New York City life. He has spent years as a "NY1" wise guy, where he would weigh in on issues concerning the city. He also made a slew of cameo appearances in films and wrote his own film review column that was widely circulated.
From 1997 to 1999, he presided over The People's Court, a syndicated torts court show. In total, Koch appeared in 80 movies and TV shows, most of which were as himself. He made a cameo appearance as a newscaster in the 1996 film "City Hall," which was inspired by the corruption charges against late Borough President Donald Manes. Koch was mayor when Manes faced corruption charges and ultimately ended his own life.
Bloomberg announced in 2010 that the 59th Street Bridge would be named after Koch. The change was met with criticism by some for naming a landmark after a living, active person.
His legacy will also live on through film. Earlier this week a documentary on the former mayor, "Koch," debuted at the Museum of Modern Art.
On Friday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg ordered that flags at all city buildings be flown at half-staff in Koch's memory.
A funeral service will be held Monday at 11 a.m. at Temple Emanu-El on the Upper West Side, according to the Daily News.

The Story
From the makers of Japan's finest cutlery comes this Premier collection with a unique new "tsuchime" finish.

Durable VG10 steel core is clad with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel on each side for maximum strength and stability. Oblong pakka wood handle nestles comfortably in the hand; stainless handle cap embossed with the Shun logo adds balance and beauty. These knives will never rust or corrode if properly maintained.

Hello all.
I am at a road block with a client. I am not sure where to go so I will just describe what I am trying to do and see if I can get some direction from the PHP/MySQL folks.
Our client a medical doctor is needing to be able to upload files such as pdfs and word documents to what I am assuming will be an ftp. The doctor is not computer savy so she will need to be able to log in and easily locate a certain patient.
The doctor is uploading files to specific users or patients. Patients will be able to either create an account or log in and few whatever files are present in their account.
The important thing to remember is that the doctor is not computer savy. Trying to make the upload process very simple.
Any ideas or thoughts are welcome.
Thank you.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
It was not something to talk about at the dinner table, but for a presentation on the current state of Helper's underground pipes, it was an image that got the point across.
Water and sewer pipes run parallel and close together in many parts of Helper. If both should break at the same time and place, two flows of water that should never mix would do just that.
David Ariotti, district manager for the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, explained the situation to about 50 citizens who came to Civic Auditorium to hear why Helper City plans to invest about $20 million to rebuild its aging water, sewer and storm drainage systems.
Ariotti joined Mayor Dean Armstrong and engineer Eric Franson in the presentation.
Poster pictures of the situation surrounded the audience. Some of the snapshots showed the patchwork on city streets, where holes had been dug to repair busted pipes and refilled.
Armstrong estimated that the city is repairing breaks in the lead-jointed pipes one to three times a week, at a cost of $2,000 to $5,000 per repair.
The mayor added that a $1 million fix of the city's springs near Scofield is underway. This has saved half of the city's water system from being condemned, he stated.
In addition to needed maintenance on well structures, the city has to install fence around the springs. "We have cows around our springs," he said.
One photo showed contamination of one well by iron-eating bacteria. An orange scum was floating on the water.
"There is a lot of deferred maintenance," Armstrong commented. After about two years of analyzing all the systems, he stated, the city decided that "Doing nothing is not a viable option."
So the city council, backed by engineering studies by Franson Civil Engineers, is going to try to fix it all.
It will not happen all at once, explained Eric Franson. Engineers have divided the city into seven sections based on geologic and human-made features such as the Price River, the railroad tracks, Highway 6 and natural drainage.
The reason for dividing the project into smaller segments was so that local contractors would be competitive in bidding for the work, Franson said. "That was a conscious decision," the mayor seconded.
Franson's firm will provide on-site supervision and inspection of the contractors.
Work should take at least three years, provided the financing is available. It could be extended beyond that if the money is slow in coming.
The mayor explained that the city will be applying for a mix of grants, zero interest loans and low-interest loans.
The fixes have not been designed only to accommodate Helper's population as it stands now. Franson said the designs have factored growth into the plan.
As to what happens to the streets after the work is done, the estimate includes repaving. It was decided that it would be much more efficient to replace water and sewer at once, and handle grading and storm drainage. That way, the streets would not have to be torn up, repaved, torn up and repaved for each system improvement.

German Shepherd age
Like a kid you also possibly discovered this 1 year that was individual is eight dog-years ? Oh well, with lots of misconceptions we have been presented as kids. Fantasy since it is complete nonsense – as with the stork, the Santa Claus, and so forth.
So old is the German Shepherd truly, in dog-years so to express? Old does your pet believe it is? Old does he/she experience?
Numerous people created their very own methods to a solution because our Shepherd wont reveal – even more clinical than others. Monsieur LeBeau, the vet, came up one which views erotic efficiency etc, with a far more medical solution.
Because pets are pets not people, his program appropriately does no further make use of a balanced size – balanced towards the individual decades, like 1 means 7. Alternatively, a German Shepherd's age is decided within the method that is following:
As much as 12 weeks old, every month is the same as 1.25 decades that are individual. Therefore, a four month old German Shepherd dog is not approximately as immature like a 5 year old kid, along with a 12 month old German Shepherd puppies is really not as immature like a 15 year old teen.
Between 24 weeks old and 12 weeks of age, every month is the same as 0.75 decades that are individual. Therefore, an 18 month old German Shepherd puppy is not approximately as immature like a 20 year old adult, along with a 24 month old GSD is really not as immature like a 24 year old adult. Alsatian Wolf Dogs have average life durability according to the data taken from the web sources. They say a fair german shepherd expected life span is from 8 to 13 years. An adult female weighs up to 30 kilos, a male representative reaches 40 kilos in weight. From two years old, it's thought that it's appropriate to utilize a balanced connection. Today each Shepherd year means four decades that are individual. Therefore, a-9 year old GSD is thought to not experience as young like a 52 year-old individual that is, along with a 12 year old German Shepherd puppy might feel just like a-64 year-old person that is – notably the retirement that is normal.
You see that LeBeau, like the majority of veterans that are different, did not visit a natural age distinction between a feminine German Shepherd puppy along with a man – possibly since there be seemingly no systematic distinction within the life span of the female and male Shepherd.
Incidentally, you will find large variations in life span within the following regards: Element #1 undoubtedly is Puppy foods, Dinner instances, and Giving program (notice under house-training pets), and element #2 undoubtedly is normal and diverse workout.
Additionally, you may observe that this puppy-era formula program leads to dog fatalities in a newer age than using the "one year that is individual is eight dog years" fantasy. Case: your dog that got 15 years old is approximately 76 individual years 105 years old, although old naturally based on the easy "one year that is individual is eight dog-years" principle.
Lastly, because German Shepherds' majority appear to die at newer or age 12, based on the LeBeau puppy-era formula program they reside no longer. This could imply that living span of German Shepherds hasn't elevated during the last a century as significantly whilst the life span of people has elevated – that was significantly more than two fold (from 34 in 1910 to 72 this year).
When you have a healthier German Shepherd and also you handle your pet nicely (diverse and organic food, too much to drink, and normal and diverse workout), reviews claim that your GSD might become 16 yrs old – thus experiencing 80. However it is not that "each year after 10 is just a blessing" since, having a German Shepherd, each year is just a blessing, right?
Do not forget which kind of food you assist your Shepherd, in addition to that Feeding program, Puppy foods and Dinner times possess a substantial effect on your GSD's lifetime and much and what type of workout your GSD gets.Read More »

The Republic of the Congo is relatively rich in natural resources, including forests, oil and other mineral resources, and it has the deepest port in Africa. A civil war in 1997 led to years of unrest, but stability has now returned. However, the country continues to struggle to restore democratic governance. More than 80 percent of the population is literate, and primary education is widespread among both girls and boys.
Rwanda is a small, landlocked country with a population density that is among the highest in Africa. It is one of the world's poorest countries but much has changed since the 1994 genocide that killed over 800,000 people. The country has made remarkable progress in developing national and local government institutions, maintaining security, promoting reconciliation and strengthening the justice system.
USAID's programs are supporting Serbia's vision to be democratic, prosperous and fully integrated into Euro-Atlantic institutions. USAID is helping Serbia enact reforms for the country to complete its economic and democratic transition into the European Union (EU) and other international institutions.
With a population of approximately 6 million, Sierra Leone is a low-income country and one of the least developed in the world. The country's GDP per capita is only $254, leaving 73% of Sierra Leone's rural population in poverty. Women and girls feel the impact of this poverty disproportionately, with customary laws and widely held cultural and social beliefs acting as significant ongoing barriers to women's full integration into the decision-making sphere at the household, community and national levels.
Since 1991, Somalia has essentially been a collapsed state. The social costs of war have been enormous, leaving Somalia with some of the lowest human development indicators in the world. In 2011 and 2012, the worst drought that East Africa has seen in 60 years led to famine in southern Somalia, uprooting thousands of families and putting millions at severe risk. Food security has improved, largely driven by humanitarian assistance.
USAID is working to increase stability and reduce the appeal of extremism in Somalia through programming that fosters good governance, promotes economic recovery and growth, offers youth skills training, and works to increase social cohesion through improved community with government relationships. Our programs are planned and carried out with local partners in the context of Somali culture and values.
Almost two decades after the end of apartheid, the South African Government continues to uphold the rights of its citizens and to invest heavily in the wellbeing of its people. South Africa plays a key economic and political role on the continent, but faces many challenges, including unemployment, HIV/AIDS, crime and corruption.
Fighting that erupted in the capital of Juba in December 2013 plunged the Republic of South Sudan into its most severe crisis since it became independent in 2011, following decades of civil war. Thousands of South Sudanese have been killed and traumatized and more than 2 million have been displaced from their homes, including more than 500,000 who have sought refuge in neighboring countries and more than 100,000 who are sheltering at United Nations compounds in South Sudan.
Approximately half of South Sudan's population—6.4 million people—are projected to be food insecure in early 2015, including an estimated 2.5 million facing crisis and emergency levels of food insecurity.
USAID has worked in South Sudan for decades, providing lifesaving humanitarian assistance, conflict mitigation assistance, and support for key milestones of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement, which culminated in South Sudan's independence. USAID has helped provide essential services to the people of South Sudan, such as health care and education, built key infrastructure such as roads and bridges, supported agriculture initiatives, and established the basic foundations of critical institutions.
While Southern Africa has seen significant economic growth achievements, the overall number of people living in poverty has grown over the past two decades. Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, and South Africa have some of the highest levels of income inequality in the world. Since 1995, we have maintained a regional program in Southern Africa that has evolved over time to address the changing development challenges of the sub-region. Our programs increase trade and strengthen regional economic ties, address the HIV/AIDS crisis, mitigate food insecurity, and support democratic processes.
Sri Lanka, an island nation located along major maritime trade routes in the Indian Ocean, is currently experiencing steady economic growth following 26 years of conflict and a disastrous tsunami in 2004. USAID works with the Government and people of Sri Lanka to help the country sustain this growth while ensuring all citizens enjoy its benefits.
USAID prioritizes programs that bolster economic growth, extend critical social services to local communities, and strengthen the ability of local organizations to advocate for citizen needs and sustain these vital services.
Sudan was the largest country in Africa and the Arab world until 2011, when South Sudan became an independent country. It sits at the crossroads of sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, with fertile lands, abundant livestock and natural resources. Since independence in 1956, Sudan has faced highly complex development challenges, but is key to stability of the region.
USAID Provides Additional Emergency Food Assistance to Millions of Sudanese People
Swaziland is a small country almost completely surrounded by South Africa. Due in large part to its geographic position, the economy is heavily dependent upon trade with South Africa. The country has a relatively high per capita income, but nearly 70 percent of the population lives in poverty. Most high-level economic activity is conducted by non-Africans living in Swaziland. Primary education is widespread among boys and girls.
According to the U.N., the conflict in Syria had resulted in more than 191,000 deaths as of April 2014—more than double the figure last reported by the U.N. in July 2013. Nearly 11 million people are in need of aid inside Syria and face threats, displacement, hunger, injury and death due to the appalling tactics of the Asad regime and extremist groups such as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
Таджикистан, имеющий границу с Афганистаном протяжённостью 1287 км, является связующим звеном в системе безопасности и стабильности стран Центральной Азии. Таджикистан играет значительную роль в развитии торгового и энергетического сотрудничества стран Центральной и Южной Азии. Соединённые Штаты сотрудничают с правительством Таджикистана с целью сохранения продуктивных партнёрских отношений, что может оказать благотворное влияние на повышение взаимосвязанности и благосостояния стран региона.
U.S. assistance supports Tanzania's national development goal to build public and private capacity to foster a healthier, prosperous and secure nation through accountable, democratic government that responds effectively to the needs of its citizens.
Tanzania Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS)
Since 1832, the United States and Thailand have maintained a strong relationship. Through its assistance programs, USAID has built a solid foundation of partnership in development with the Royal Thai Government.
Timor-Leste is one of the world's newest countries and also one of the poorest. This small, half-island nation is home to a young and culturally diverse population of just over 1 million. In its pivotal Southeast Asia location between Indonesia and Australia, Timor-Leste is already playing an important role in regional and global organizations. It currently holds the chair of the g7+ Group of Fragile and Conflict-Affected States, helping to lead the way to more effective engagement between developed and developing countries.
The United States strongly supports the Tunisian people as they lay the foundation for a future of economic prosperity that empowers a new generation, strengthens civil society and solidifies the foundation of democracy.
Tunisians have charted their own political transition, and USAID has answered Tunisian requests for support for economic growth, good governance, and expanded opportunities—areas that are interlinked in this transition environment.
Туркменистан, имеющий протяженную границу с Афганистаном и Ираном в Центральной Азии и служит связующим звеном с Южно-Азиатским субконтинентом, играет ключевую роль в обеспечении стабильности и интеграции стран региона. Кроме того, значительные запасы нефти и газа делают Туркменистан основным поставщиком на региональный и мировой рынок. По мере того, как Туркменистан, бывшая советская республика, оставляет в прошлом десятилетия изоляции, Соединённые Штаты оказывают стране поддержку в создании благоприятных условий для формирования более открытого и интегрированного общества.

I love the images of this cart. Actually putting them together is another. Putting together at small sizes 2.5 is difficult. lots of little pieces and many layers. Not for a beginner.
i agree with the other revie definately not for begginers which is what i am, found it difficult to figure out how to do the eyes and mouth as have to adjust the size, lovely images though, once got the knack will be a brill catridge
Love this cartridge but a word to the wise, there are many layers and it can be difficult in the smaller sizes. If I need a small one instead of cutting out the eyes and mouth I use a red gel pen for the mouth and a white gel pen for the eyes. Much easier to do and gives them both a pretty little glisten...love the effect.

The process of self-healing is the privilege of every being. Self-healing is not a miracle, nor is self-healing a dramatization of the personality as though you could do something superior. Self-healing is a genuine process of the relationship between the physical and the infinite power of the soul.
You have to understand the process of healing in the Age of Aquarius. What will give the healing is the flow of your soul energy.
The art of healing, the art of ecstasy, the art of God-consciousness has millions of names in mystic terms. It has to do with rhythm and reality. When the body is in rhythm, there is ease. When the body, or any part of the body goes out of rhythm, there is dis-ease.
If your breath is very deep in the lungs, it will give you a good red blood. Good red blood, with the oxygen, is quite sufficiently empowered to take away impurities. When the lungs start clearing the blood, then the liver, spleen, and kidneys have much less work to do.
We have given you different sets of exercises. They can work for you. Why do you have to exercise? When the body grows, each year of its existence, it becomes more rigid. You move in special patterns. You move your hands in a special way, your legs in a special way; and that does not exercise a lot of muscles. The muscles which do not get any type of exercise get weak and that area of your skeleton gets out of shape. The moment your skeleton gets out of shape, the nervous system starts feeling the pressure. It starts messing up the circulation, then reconstruction of the tissues gets weird. After a while you fall apart and you are in trouble.
There are times when you cannot even control the sugar level in your body. Remember that when you put sugar in your metabolism, you are upsetting your metabolism in a very direct way. X amount of sugar is understandable, but the amount of sugar you put in, only God can save you. And whenever you put x amount of sugar, you must follow the law of depression. When you get that kind of depression, you lose a lot of friends. Therefore, it is very fair to channel your energy. One of the best ways to channel the energy is to do the pranayama.
When you do not channel the energy properly, then you must get depressed. Don't [over]extend yourself and get out of balance. I have seen people who get depressed in this way: Alright, let us have a party in the evening. At 11 o'clock, the party will be over. Let us go to a movie. Then, after the movie, come home. Alright honey, give me a cup of coffee. They up the next day at 4:30 in the evening. They do not know what to do. This is called Phase Depression. That person will not get his scene together for almost four days. It takes the body 72 hours to get the body back into the same working process. Just one night of action.
There is only one problem: You do not trust your powers. There is no difference between you and God. Count your blessings. Be proud of yourself. Make your children, friends and neighbors proud of you. Let your touch be the Master's Touch. Serve the Age of Aquarius. Keep up and God will keep you up. Trust it. Stop looking down at yourself. Feel God within. There is no God outside of you.
When you are blessing the sick, you beg of the Almighty, but actually you are not begging for anything, because from inside your being, energy is pouring into the other person. It is from a state of compassion, of compassionate meditation, that the healing activity of God, within the being, flows.
'Hail Guru Ram Das and heal the world.' It is His problem to heal. Your problem is to insert Him into it. You have nothing to worry about. If he doesn't heal, His Name will be spoiled—what's it to you? Most of the time you do not know what to do, true? There are so many times I don't know what to do. So, I insert Him into it.
A few years ago we said, 'Hail Guru Ram Das and heal the world.' It looked like a joke at that time. Heal with what? Now the Age has come when your own psyche can be in flow and beam on the other personality, and in the cross-exchange you can heal a person just by walking by his side. For this we have to have a mental clarity, and we have to have a mental projection.
All you have to do is send a message or somehow establish communication between the mind and body of the sick person. The mind should be in peace, so that the body can do the job. That's all the cure is. The body cures itself. Medicine allows it to get into that space where healing can take place.
Before you touch anybody you have to make sure that you are as pure as possible. If you don't purify yourself of all the inner duality, negativity can prevail through the flow of the psyche.
Whether you are a medical doctor or a chiropractor or another type of healer, life has a challenge that you have to be egoless. You have to just become, without self, a healer at that moment, for that purpose.
As a healer, the first thing to tell every patient is to breathe deeply. Shallow breathing means no endurance, no patience.

TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - The most visible advocate for Mexican American Studies is probably losing his job.
Program Director Sean Arce has heard from TUSD his contract will not be renewed.
Arce's attorney says the move is premature.
When the Mexican American Studies program came under attack, program director Sean Arce came to its defense.
In a May 2010 interview he said, "We find that for Latino students this class acts as a mirror. When students find themselves in the curriculum as reinforced through research - it's a validation as who they are as a people, a validation of the cultural contributions to the U-S."
Arce defended the program against then State School Superintendent Tom Horne, who wrote a law to levy millions in fines against the program under the claim that it teaches students to resent other races.
Arce sued to overturn the law and found himself sued by former teacher John Ward who said he was pressured out of the program when he said he thought it radicalized students.
Now that TUSD's board has shut down the program, Arce's been notified his contract will probably not be renewed.
Arce's attorney, Richard Martinez, says it's premature because he thinks a Federal judge may rule soon to overturn the law that led TUSD to shut down the program.
"If that's taken away as unconstitutional, then the program needs to be reinstated and certainly the reinstatement of the program includes keeping the same director and teachers."
KGUN9 reporter Craig Smith asked Martinez: "Does this seem like it's an effort to dismantle the program so it's hard to reconstitute if you get a court order that it should be reinstated?"
Martinez: "I think part of the move here by Superintendent Pedicone is to make sure the program can't be brought back, at least not in the form that it existed which will create many problems for TUSD."
Martinez says if TUSD's board follows through on firing Arce that could lead to still more lawsuits.
TUSD'S superintendent is not commenting, at least until the board formally considers Arce's contract.
That will likely happen, along with many other employment contracts, in the board meeting next Tuesday.
