Questions and Answers About Meditation, Yoga, the Spiritual Life, and More
How to Handle Fear
Hello! My question is concerning fears. For a while now I have been having panic attacks, and fear has made me a different person than I used to be. I used to think that I could do anything, but now is the opposite. Fear is not letting me move forward in life and take new chances. I always think that I will fail in whatever I do. What is the best way to overcome fear So that I can move on with my life and not be afraid of welcoming new opportunities?
Thank you and blessings!
Dear Faith,
Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita makes this immortal promise: "Even a little practice of this (meditation and right attitude) will free one from dire fears and colossal sufferings."
I, too, used think of myself as fearless. As the years rolled by I realized that, though not especially plagued by fears, everyone is challenged (aka stressed) by life's many seeming obstacles and opportunities.
Swami Kriyananda would sometimes give this counsel: Take your worst fear and imagine the worst possible outcome, including death itself. Do this as a kind of creative visualization. See if in your mental exercise you can face the worst case. If you can calmly do so interanlly you may well find that in reality you can handle just about anything.
Will I fail? Will people laugh? Criticize me? Will get injured? All of these things, well, what's the worst that can happen? Others have faced such tests, why can't I? Of course you will fail. The most successfuly people in the world and in history fail about half the time! It all has to add up to zero. But that's no excuse for not trying our best to fulfill the law of creation: the manifestation of the joy of God.
The more we learn to live by God's power and grace, the more we surrender both success and failure, fear and jubilation to the divine will. "Thy will, Lord; not mine." Then give it our very best and, as is often said, "leave the rest (to God)."
Meditation, both as the result of the science of meditation (in various breathing and other exercises) and as a result of the attitude of meditation (self-offering into the Divine Presence), will go a long way towards lifting from your shoulders the fears of everyday existence.
Swami Kriyananda had an expression we like to use, SAY 'YES' TO LIFE! Every morning when you arise, jump out of bed and say YES! And when you lie down to sleep, softly surrender the day's activities in the God's loving presence, whispering YES!
Be like a warrior, a soldier for good and right: face the day's tasks with calmness, boldness and a willing, happy attitude. Put on the armor of calmness; carry the sword of smiles, shooting everyone you meet with the buckshot of joy! Yes, as a soldier you will be struck down by your enemies of fear; just get up again and keep marching on!
Faith: it is with FAITH that we stride into daily action in the manner described. And faith is born of upliftment into superconsciousness, esp of course, in meditation. A state beyond all thoughts and fears, beyond all restlessness of body and mind. Strive to experience the SILENCE which is your nearest and dearest and into which will come the bliss of God that reassures you that you are "in possession of the kingdom of heaven." You need only to "improve your knowing."

The Los Angeles Forum for Architectural and Urban Design
Fall 1988 Series
Living on the Edge: Towards and Architecture of Housing
This fall the Forum will investigate how architecture can respond to the changing needs for housing in Southern California. "Living on the Edge: Towards an Architecture of Urban Housing" will comprise three panel discussions, one tour, and a design charrette. The series will focus on the housing crisis in Los Angeles end explore new models for buildings which can provide both shelter and accomodation. Our premise is that housing should be both a home and the basis of a larger community.
"Living on the Edge" will propose that a redefinition of "housing" is necessary for two reasons. One: there is a severe shortage of adequate, appropriate, and affordable shelter. Two: there are few clear models for the kind of housing which accomodates the complex needs of varied user groups. We suggest that architects must develop alternatives to the single family home, the apartment house, and a residential vocabulary derived from and appropriate to a society predominantly made up of nuclear families. Beyond the crisis of shelter lies the crisis of community and its absence in our culture. Our architecture must address both these issues.
Monday, September 26 – 7:30 pm - MOCA Library 250 S. Grand Ave.
Case Studies: Experimentation and Research in Los Angeles Housing.
A discussion with Thomas Hines (Professor, UCLA), Elizabeth Smith (Curator, MOCA), Robert Winter (Professor, Occidental College), and David Gebhard (Director, UCSB Architectural Collections).

Once one of the most popular mapping services, TomTom is now struggling to find its way on the Android platform.
The application has been launched on Google Play store for about two months but has yet to exceed 500 downloads. The low number of downloads might be due to its high price or short number of compatible devices.
Well, it looks like developers have solved one of these problems with their latest update, which adds support for more Android devices.
According to TomTom, the application is now optimized for Samsung Galaxy S III, HTC One X, LG Optimus G, Nexus 4 and other new smartphones with a screen resolution between 800 x 480 pixels and 1280 x 800 pixels.
In fact, this update is said to bring support for more than 200 new Android smartphones, which weren't compatible with TomTom navigation application until recently.
In addition, TomTom for Android now allows users to download and store maps by default on an SD card, in case it's available, of course.
The Driving View feature has also been updated, "making the journey information clearer at a glance. In addition, postcode entry is more flexible and the app can find locations from the phone address book more reliably."
Developers also claim that the map downloads are more reliable due to an improvement in the download mechanism. Last but not least, TomTom promises it will offer the next map update sometime in December.
TomTom 1.1 is now available for download via Google Play store and it should be fully compatible with most devices running Android 2.2 and up.
Keep in mind that TomTom can be purchased for a limited period at the special, discounted price of £30.99 / €41 / $52.
Before purchasing the application, Android users should make sure that there are at least 2.2GB of free storage space, either on the internal phone memory or external storage.

Eva Longoria is slamming rumors she and Lakers forward Matt Barnes are an item -- saying, "Once again, press gets it wrong. Matt barnes and I are not dating!"
Eva took to her WhoSay page to silence the rumors -- adding, "We are doing a charity event together for Padres and Athletes versus Cancer ... why is the truth never the headline?"
Rumors swirled when the two were spotted together at a dinner in New York last week looking "very flirty" -- according to the New York Post's Page Six.
Eva's rep also formally dismissed the rumors -- insisting the two were "just friends."

After Writing the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson Tackled A Subject Of Biblical Proportions
New York, NY – February 2, 2012 – At the age of 77, Thomas Jefferson took a knife to the four gospels of the Bible, keeping the sections he believed were the true teachings of Jesus Christ, and leaving the miracles, angels and the resurrection behind. Living at Monticello following his two terms as President, Jefferson assembled the private text in 1820. By compiling four translations—English, French, Latin and Greek— Jefferson sought to tell a chronological and distilled version of Jesus' life and moral teachings.
Jefferson considered his project an act of piety – and the results a moral code for the new nation.
Fearing public criticism, Jefferson kept his text, which he called "The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth," to himself. Discovered by a Smithsonian Institution employee in 1895, the artifact survived as a well-guarded family heirloom. The once beautiful, handcrafted book is now so fragile that it can no longer be safely opened. The Smithsonian Channel one-hour special JEFFERSON'S SECRET BIBLE, premiering Monday, February 20 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, follows conservators at the National Museum of American History as they work to preserve this national treasure, page by brittle page.
Every element of Jefferson's Bible is carefully analyzed. Not only do the choice of material and method of construction reveal subtle clues about Jefferson himself, but the chemical composition of every ink, paper, paste and glue are critical to the conservation process. Although it was cut and pasted with his own hands, conservators determine that the only way to preserve Jefferson's text is to first take it apart. It's a high stakes effort. By doing, so they open a page into the past.
From 19th century Monticello to a high-tech Smithsonian Institution lab, the program traces the life of this extraordinary book, exploring Jefferson's views on religion and providing fresh insights into the Age of Enlightenment and his enigmatic mind.
The newly conserved "The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth" is currently on display at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. http://americanhistory.si.edu/jeffersonbible/
Smithsonian Books has also released a full-color, reproduction facsimile, which features introductory essays by museum historians Harry Rubenstein and Barbara Clark Smith, as well as an overview of the conservation treatment by the museum's book and paper conservator Janice Stagnitto Ellis.

PIC: Bradley Cooper Busted for Having a Fake Tan
Bradley Cooper has suffered a bronze blunder.
See more fun photos from the Valentine's Day premiere!
On Monday, the actor, 35, hit the Hollywood premiere of his new romantic comedy Valentine's Day - with only about 2/3 of his face tan.
Orange alert! See stars who are too tan
The patchy look didn't seem to bother him too much.
Do Bradley Cooper - and these guys - look good with beards?
Sans girlfriend Renee Zellweger, Cooper spent most of the night chatting up costars Julia Roberts, Jessica Alba and Patrick Dempsey. (See more red carpet pics here!)
Cooper recently signed on to star in McG's upcoming comedy This Means War, playing a man who is in love with the same woman - played by Reese Witherspoon - as his best friend.

Leveraging Our Strength in Small-Scale Advantages
The Kyorin Group's strength in research and development lies in the advantages of our smaller scale. In particular, excellent cross-departmental collaboration and the ability to nurture staff with diverse research capabilities able to handle a broad range of exploratory, development, and clinical research, are the source of our competitiveness in new drug discovery, and enable us to bring a multi-faceted knowledge to our research activities. In core technologies, our strengths also come from our drug discovery technologies, based on foundational research in inflammation, immunology, and infectious diseases, which we exploit to efficiently synthesize new compounds. Our research into optimized low molecular weight (LMW) drugs is also highly regarded, and by leveraging the Group's attributes in this area, we will continue to meet the challenge of discovering new and innovative LMW drugs.
Focus on Timelines in the Discovery, Development, and
Life Cycle Management (LCM) R&D Process
The Kyorin Group promotes research and development with an emphasis on timelines. We have established a timeline for each role in the process, beginning with HOPE100 Stage 1, which emphasizes maximizing product value through LCM. Stages 1 and 2 focus on bringing products to market through development, while in Stage 3 and beyond, the emphasis is on the creation of new drugs that can contribute to the health of the world's people. The direction of our drug discovery efforts is focused on creation of innovative new drugs in Stage 3, with a focus on the development of LMW drugs under the key concept of creating drugs that will change existing therapeutic systems.
In the development process, our goal is to bring a "developer-producer's" awareness to creating products. This refers to formulating development policies with a strong awareness of our vision for a product after launch, based on which we work to accelerate and improve the quality of development. In short, we envision the patients who will actually use the product, and endeavor to meticulously meet their needs.
In LCM, we work to build evidence by implementing high-quality research, maximizing product value by incorporating that evidence into guidelines for medical care and therapeutic policies.
In this way, by clearly delineating each department's functions and goals and enhancing collaboration, we aim to conduct research and development that will win the trust of medical professionals and patients alike.
Framework to Support Employees Making Efforts to Polish Their Skills
In drug discovery and research and development,it is important to retain advanced knowledge and technology at any age. Employees must think for themselves, and make an effort to polish their skills. At the Research & Development Headquarters, we are engaged in systematic efforts to formulate human resource management policies and provide ongoing education.
Foundational education is implemented on separate levels, including training through the Human Resources Department, R&D training, training by facility (systematic training provided at individual facilities), and workplace training (task-specific on-the-job training, or OJT). R&D training is conducted for the first three years upon hire, providing new employees with basic professional skills and a general overview of drug creation. By also holding more freewheeling "waigaya" sessions, we work to ensure employees learn to diversify their thinking and gain the creativity needed to generate new value.
Management employees undergo training in status quo analysis and strategic organizational reform, including next-generation human resource (asset) development. To support individuals and their career paths and develop independent careers, the Group also offers opportunities to employees to conduct research at or be assigned to work with domestic and foreign universities and research institutions.

Obama Climate Change Report: The Outlook Is Dire, the Time to Innovate Is Now
The Obama White House has released its first climate change report, and it doesn't say anything we don't already know. It says it, however, in stronger language than any presidency that came before, with statements like "Global warming is unequivocal and primarily human-induced" and "Thresholds will be crossed, leading to large changes in climate and ecosystem".
The report describes in vivid detail how our urban infrastructure will be placed in peril from intense hurricanes and storm surges, how heat waves, poor air quality, and insects will increase, and how a rapidly intensifying climate change will make it difficult for both society and the natural resources we possess to adapt.
But the 190-page report, produced by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, doesn't just revel in doom and gloom. The report also breaks down the impact of global warming U.S. region and economic sector. That makes it much easier for local governments—and businesses hoping to profit from rising seas—to focus their energies on areas that need help the most. For example, the report's section on transportation describes how sea-level rise and storm surge will increase flooding of airports, roads, rail lines, and tunnels. City governments may have already known that this would happen, but now that a report has been released by the White House, there is little reason to forsake immediate action.
Obama's report will also help farmers to make crucial crop and livestock decisions based on the length of the growing season and chances for drought. It will be an uphill battle for farmers; heavy downpours and droughts will reduce yields, and increased heat and disease could reduce livestock productivity. Still, the report stresses the need for innovation in farming. Perhaps creepily sterile Japanese plant factories won't be the wave of the future, but they do highlight our ability to come up with out-of-the-box solutions.

These global warming phenomena might decrease our life expectancy in this earth. I'm afraid to lose my company that offers freelance writing jobs.
A lot of people want to know How Obama Got Elected. How Obama Got Elected is also the title of a documentary by John Ziegler, whose film purports that he was elected because the mainstream media was mean to Sarah Palin. It has been suggested that Obama was elected was via a process called voting – which has not occurred to Mr. Ziegler, who isn't famed for intellectual prowess – and on a recent interview with Contessa Brewer on MSNBC, his microphone was cut due to his refusal to not act like an idiot. Many would give big cash advances<

Sterling 14K Pin Brooch Yellow Gold Hummingbird Silver Trumpet Flower Emerald
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
- $299.95
- Or Best Offer
- Quantity Available: 1
Weighs 5.7 g / 3.67 dwt / 0.18 ozt Pin/brooch design: 14K gold hummingbird on a sterling silver trumpet flower, eye is a natural emerald Pin measures: 1-1/2" X 1-1/8" Closure: standard pin back Hallmarks: Sterling 925, B.A.B., 14K Condition: pre-owned This pin is a beautifully crafted and finely detailed piece with individual feathers textured onto the bird, a tiny accent natural emerald for an eye, and a sterling silver trumpet flower that the bird is feeding from. The design is nice for the nature lover, the bird lover, and hummingbird lovers in particular. It is small enough to be worn on items of clothing that are not heavy, winter weight fabrics, and with a combination of both sterling silver and yellow gold, this pin will never clash with any other pieces you own. We encourage you to especially notice the comparison photo with the quarter because a US quarter is exactly 1" across, and a US dime is exactly 3/4" or 17.70mm across and thus you will have a better idea of sizes. With close-up photography, very small items can look very large, and by placing these photos on other sites, sometimes the colors are slightly more intense than in real life, so check out the photos again.

Cottage Grove resident released first album on 88th birthday
Jim Payne released his first CD on his 88th birthday.
Payne, a resident of Middlefield Oaks Senior Living Center, is the newest recording star at Soundsmith Records.
His first album is a collection of 10 cowboy tunes he recorded from an orthopedic chair in his room at the retirement center.
"I just started singin' and it went from there," said Payne, who's been singing since he was a boy on a farm in Alabama but never been recorded.

Multicomponent Reactive Flow and Transport Software
CrunchFlow is a software package for simulating multicomponent multi-dimensional reactive transport in porous media. The code is written entirely in Fortran 90 and incorporates into a single code most of the features previously found in the GIMRT/OS3D package (Steefel and Yabusaki, 1996; Steefel, 2001) along with a large number of new features. The use of the FORTRAN 90 language allows for runtime allocation of memory for arrays, thus minimizing the memory requirements while maximizing the number of options which can be selected at runtime. Using an automatic read of a thermodynamic and kinetic database, the code can be used for reactive transport problems of arbitrary complexity and size (i.e., there is no a priori restriction on the number of species or reactions considered).
The main features of the code include:
Features now under development include:
The code uses an integrated finite volume approach currently restricted to orthogonal grids. Advective transport may be simulated with the standard upwind method or with a third order accurate TVD method when using the OS3D runtime option.
Upwelling non-isothermal flow on the flanks of the Juan de Fuca Ridge: A one-dimensional multicomponent diffusion-advection-reaction calculation with over 100 equilibrium and kinetic reactions was run to steady-state to match observed pore water profiles.
Cesium ion exchange in Hanford sediments: Matching of column and field results using the multicomponent, multi-site ion exchange capability within CRUNCH. A 3D simulation of field results, which included 12 component species, 24 aqueous complexes, and 12 ion exchange reactions, took about 1.5 hours to run on a dual processor 933 MHz Pentium III Xeon-based PC.
Copper leaching benchmark problem from PNNL workshop: A 2D multicomponent benchmark involving copper leaching proposed by P.C. Lichtner (see description on PNNL WEB site) required about 8 minutes on a dual processor 933 MHz Pentium III Xeon-based PC using CRUNCH.
Biodegradation of VOC at the Aberdeen proving ground in Maryland: History matching of anerobic biodegradation of VOC using CRUNCH.

Pembrokeshire cyclists at risk of serious injury after wire left on busy cycle path
Latest episode comes nine months after female cyclist knocked unconscious in similar incident nearby
Previous News
Next News
Cyclists in Pembrokeshire are being warned to take extra care after wire was stripped from a fence and left on a busy cycle track in what is thought to be an act of vandalism or sabotage that could result in riders suffering serious injuries or worse.
Paul Smith, Walking and Cycling Officer at Pembrokeshire County Council, told the Western Telegraph that he believed adults had been responsible for removing the 30-metre stretch of wire on a cycle path between Johnston and Haverfordwest, given that it had been secured to a series of 20 fence posts by one-inch long staples.
"Stupidity has consequences," said Mr Smith. "It might have seemed like a good idea at the time but at that stretch of the path it could have been fatal.
"There are probably 50 cyclists a day, even in winter, and several hundred in the summer. It's one of the busiest paths in Wales."
The incident comes nine months after the same newspaper reported how a cyclist had been knocked unconscious and suffered injuries including a black eye and torn tendons in her left arm after being thrown from her bike when she rode across wire similarly left on a cycle track, this time close to Johnston School.
The victim in that incident, Lilian Vaughan from Haverfordwest, told the newspaper that she believed youths had been responsible for that incident, which also saw her partner come off his bike.
"We saw a group of youngsters in the playground at Johnston School just before the incident and a crowd laughing and running away afterwards," said Ms Vaughan, who was unable to return to her job as a British Airways cabin attendant until her black eye went away.
"It was a horrendous experience and I won't be smiling on any flights for a while," she said.
Both incidents bring to mind the story we reported on last month in which a cyclist was left unconscious on the Bath and Bristol cycle path and his bike stolen. In that case, however, rather than simply being placed on the cycle route, wire had been deliberately stretched across the path, similar to a tripwire.
Mr Smith believes that the latest episode in Pembrokeshire could have had much more serious consequences than the one involving Ms Vaughan, given the location.
"People coming down the hill could have been doing 20mph easily," he explained. "It could have been really dangerous and much worse than the incident in Johnston.
"This was beyond a joke, someone could have been severely injured," he added.
Anyone witnessing suspicious behaviour of obstacles on cycle paths is asked to contact Mr Smith at Pembrokeshire County Council on 01437 775 435 or the police on 101.

You just might be missing a piece in your life if you aren't familiar with sliders. A slider is a miniature burger or sandwich that gained popularity after the burger chain, White Castle, featured and sold them 4 for $1. Yes, they are adorably tasty! Bottom line, they're not as good as what you can Traeger yourself.
We switched things up things a little from the traditional beef sliders, using ground chicken with a salty, rich smattering of grated parmesan cheese inside to keep the patties moist. (Of course you could easily substitute ground beef, turkey, lamb, pork, etc.) And we did it all for an affordable price to feed you and your family/friends. We'll prove that you can still eat like a king with a pauper's pocketbook.
And don't forget that because they're smaller, you can cram more into your mouth without the accusing glare from anyone else.
Find these tasty morsels, along with other penny-pinching recipes, in our Traeger on a Budget cookbook.
PELLETS: Apple or Oak PREP TIME: 15 min. COOK TIME: About 30 min. SERVES: 4
• 2 pounds ground chicken • 1 cup shredded Parmesan • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce • Freshly ground black pepper • Traeger Chicken Rub, or salt and pepper• Canola oil• 1 cup mayonnaise • 2 tablespoons prepared pesto sauce • 12 slider buns, split • 3 Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced • Fresh spinach or arugula leaves, washed and dried• Sliced cheese, if desired
Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, the Parmesan, the Worcestershire, and a few grinds of black pepper.
Wet your hands with cold water, and use them to mix the ingredients. Divide the meat mixture in half, then form six 2-inch patties out of each half. Dust each side of the patties lightly with the Traeger Chicken Rub. Place the patties on the baking sheet, cover with another sheet of plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Combine the mayonnaise and pesto in a small bowl and whisk together. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to 300 degrees F and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.
Take the chicken patties out of the fridge and lightly brush both sides with canola oil to help get a good sear on the outside and hold in those juices.
Arrange the chicken patties on the grill grate and grill, turning once, until the patties are cooked through (165 degrees F), about 30 minutes.
If you like cheese on your patties, top the patties with cheese during the last 2 minutes of grilling.
To serve, put a chicken patty on the bottom of a slider bun and top with a dollop of the pesto mayonnaise.
Add tomato, onion, and spinach as desired. Replace the top of the bun and skewer with a frilled toothpick, if desired. Enjoy the fruits of your labors!

Crash.Net F1 News
De Villota free to drive again
28 February 2013
Former Marussia F1 test driver Maria de Villota has been given permission to resume driving.
De Villota suffered serious injuries in a testing accident last year at Duxford Airfield, which resulted in the loss of her right eye as well as losing her sense of taste and smell. However she continues to make a good recovery and has now got the okay to get back behind the wheel.
"Last week they gave me permission to return to driving," she told
BBC Sport
. "The distances I can already calculate quite well and it feels like nothing ever happened."
"Very busy days take their toll, but I am calm because I know everything is going well," added the 33-year-old. "To start with it was difficult just to do day-to-day things. Catching keys in flight or getting a glass of water was a problem, but now things are much better."
Meanwhile, despite her injuries, she remains as enthusiastic as ever about F1 and motorsport in general.
"At the end of the day, my natural habitat is in a car and I am happiest in that environment. I missed it," she continued.
"When your life is saved, no-one owes you anything. I don't hold any rancour towards the sport. The only thing I want is for the safety in races and tests to be improved. I will collaborate with them on what is currently lacking.
"Moreover, I feel very grateful to all the teams and drivers who have supported me after the accident."

Under Eye of U.N., Billions for Hussein In Oil-for-Food Plan
By SUSAN SACHS and JUDITH MILLER
Published: August 13, 2004
Toward the end of 2000, when Saddam Hussein's skimming from the oil-for-food program for Iraq kicked into high gear, reports spread quickly to the program's supervisors at the United Nations.
Oil industry experts told Security Council members and Secretary General Kofi Annan's staff that Iraq was demanding under-the-table payoffs from its oil buyers. The British mission distributed a background paper to Council members outlining what it called ''the systematic abuse of the program'' and described how Iraq was shaking down its oil customers and suppliers of goods for kickbacks.
When the report landed in the United Nations' Iraq sanctions committee, the clearinghouse for all contracts with Iraq, it caused only a few ripples of consternation. There was no action, diplomats said, not even a formal meeting on the allegations.
Since the fall of Mr. Hussein, the oil-for-food program has received far more scrutiny than it ever did during its six years of operation. Congress's Government Accountability Office, formerly the General Accounting Office, has estimated that the Iraqi leader siphoned at least $10 billion from the program by illicitly trading in oil and collecting kickbacks from companies that had United Nations approval to do business with Iraq. Multiple investigations now under way in Washington and Iraq and at the United Nations all center on one straightforward question: How did Mr. Hussein amass so much money while under international sanctions? An examination of the program, the largest in the United Nations' history, suggests an equally straightforward answer: The United Nations let him do it.
''Everybody said it was a terrible shame and against international law, but there was really no enthusiasm to tackle it,'' said Peter van Walsum, a Dutch diplomat who headed the Iraq sanctions committee in 1999 and 2000, recalling the discussions of illegal oil surcharges. ''We never had clear decisions on anything. So we just in effect condoned things.''
As recently as February, the official position of the United Nations office that ran the program was that it learned of the endemic fraud only after it ended. But former officials and diplomats who dealt directly with the program now say the bribery and kickback racket was an open secret for years.
In blunt post-mortem assessments, they describe the program as a drifting ship -- poorly designed, leaking money and controlled by a Security Council that was paralyzed by its own disputes over Iraq policy.
The program, created in 1996, was an ambitious attempt to keep up international pressure on Iraq to disarm while helping the Iraqi people survive the sanctions imposed on the Hussein government after its invasion of Kuwait in 1990.
The entire effort was financed by the sale of Iraqi oil. A political compromise allowed Iraq to decide to whom it would sell its oil and from whom it would buy relief supplies. It was up to the United Nations to make sure that the price Iraq set for the oil was fair and that the proceeds were buying relief goods, and not being funneled to Mr. Hussein's coffers or being used for illicit arms.
As the flow of money ballooned, the United Nations, with an annual budget of just $1.5 billion, was responsible for collecting and disbursing as much as $10 billion a year in Iraqi oil revenues. Even as the fraud engineered by Mr. Hussein's government became widely understood, the officials said, neither the Security Council nor United Nations administrators tried to recover the diverted money or investigate aggressively.
The work of the Office of the Iraq Program, which administered the oil-for-food activities, and of its former director, Benon V. Sevan, is the focus of an independent United Nations investigation headed by Paul A. Volcker, the former Federal Reserve chairman. His panel is looking into the broader charges of mismanagement and corruption in the program, as well as specific accusations that United Nations officials, including Mr. Sevan, took kickbacks.
Mr. Volcker announced in a news conference on Monday that his panel would need at least $30 million and probably a year to determine whether the charges are justified. Despite an elaborate system in the United Nations for overseeing oil-for-food contracts, corruption never seemed to be the chief concern of anyone involved. The United States and Britain were focused on keeping material related to illicit weapons out of Iraq. Other nations that had greater financial stakes in Iraq, including France and Russia, favored lifting the sanctions. And for the United Nations bureaucracy, diplomats said, the priority was keeping goods flowing to the Iraqi people.
In the halls of the United Nations, the program became a battleground for the competing commercial interests and political agendas of the 15 individual nations that made up the Security Council, diplomats said. Those same nations made up the Iraq sanctions committee, which took action only by a consensus that could be blocked by any member.
The result was a paralysis that translated into acquiescence toward matters like oil kickbacks. Annual reports of the sanctions committee reflect the limp reaction to repeated signs of corruption.

Just How Terrible Does Watch Dogs Look On Low Settings?
Watch Dogs is set to hit shelves (legally) tomorrow, and personally I cannot wait. In honestly, I should be saying that I can't wait for the weekend, because I still haven't been able to start pre-loading my copy of the game from UPlay. Because fuck UPlay, seriously.
But while I and countless others wait, we can feast our eyes on a lovely comparison done by the ever reliable Digital Foundry.
In this video, they compare the Ultra and Low settings for Ubisoft's open-world adventure title. The most surprising part of it all is that there doesn't seem to be a massive difference between the two extremes. There are differences, and they're clear as day, but when you take into account the massive requirement difference for either setting it seems a bit negligible.
The features that seem to take the biggest hits, unsurprisingly, are lighting and shadows. Watch Dogs on Ultra is absolutely stunning, especially with a little bit of rain involved. The Low setting looks just fine, but held up against its more superior setting just makes it a little depressing.
So great news for both sides of the coin. If you've just upgraded, you're in for a treat. And if you're like me and your PC has some age to show, then you're not getting shafted too badly either. A win win for once.

Skeleton star Laura Deas hopes to be dressed for Sochi success
Posted: October 20, 2013|
She spent the summer selling dresses in a Bath store but rising British Skeleton star Laura Deas only has designs on one item of clothing this winter – a Team GB body suit.
The 24-year-old worked at Phase Eight during the skeleton off-season but is now fully focussed on the battle to earn a World Cup place and put herself firmly in contention for the Sochi Olympics.
"Competition is really tough but it's a sign of how strong our squad is," said Deas ahead of next week's British selection races.
"There are three Olympic places and five girls fighting for them but it means that whoever gets to Sochi will be in a really strong position to win a medal.

British Skeleton's Laura Deas secures superb silver in Calgary World Cup race
"I had a really interesting season last year. I stepped up into the Inter-Continental Cup squad and had a good time, I won two silver medals and was challenging for the podium quite a lot.
"I learnt an awful lot about what it takes to go up to a higher level of competition, so I'm hoping that's something I'll be able to do on the World Cup stage this year."
Deas, who got into skeleton through the Girls for Gold talent identification programme in 2009, is on the Jaguar Academy of Sport Rising Star scheme.
That helps towards her living and competition costs but her summer retail work was also vital to Deas' Olympic dreams.
"You might have seen me trying to sell a dress during the summer in my part-time job," she said.
"I quite like the challenge of doing both, it keeps me occupied and fresh for training as well.
"2018 is a real long-term goal for me and every season between now and then is about building on what I already know and trying to pick up some new skills.
"Going to Sochi would obviously be a really big part of that. The Olympic experience would be amazing, so I'm really hoping to get on that plane."
* British Skeleton has been the UK's most successful sport at recent Winter Olympics, with Shelley Rudman winning silver in 2006 and Bath's own Amy Williams famously striking gold at Vancouver in 2010.
* The squad for February's Sochi Games will be based on performances in the upcoming World and Intercontinental Cup competitions, making this week's selection races in Altenberg crucial.
* Training will take place on the German track from today to Monday before four heats are run on Tuesday and Wednesday.
* Selection races for the European and North American cup circuits are also taking place in Lillehammer this weekend, with the four squads being confirmed ahead of the season opener in Calgary next month.
* British Skeleton is based at the University of Bath, which has a specialist pushtrack for training.

Is California getting ready to ban big-screen TV's?
150″ Panasonic "Life Wall"
The influential lobby group Consumer Electronics Assn. is fighting what appears to be a losing battle to dissuade California regulators from passing the nation's first ban on energy-hungry big-screen televisions…
"Voluntary efforts are succeeding without regulations," said Doug Johnson, the association's senior director for technology policy. Too much government interference could hamstring industry innovation and prove expensive to manufacturers and consumers, he warned…
The association's views weren't shared by everyone in the TV business. Representatives of some TV makers, including top-seller Vizio Inc. of Irvine, said they would have little trouble complying with tighter state standards without substantially increasing prices…
"We would not propose TV efficiency standards if we thought there was any evidence in the record that they will hurt the economy," said Commissioner Julia Levin, who has been in charge of the two-year rule-making procedure. "This will actually save consumers money and help the California economy grow and create new clean, sustainable jobs…"
California's estimated 35 million TVs and related electronic devices account for about 10% of all household electricity consumption, the Energy Commission staff reported. But manufacturers quickly are coming up with new technologies that are making even 50-inch-screen models much more economical to operate.
New features, such as light-emitting diodes that consume tiny amounts of power, special reflective films and sensors that automatically adjust TV brightness to a room's viewing conditions, are driving down electricity consumption, experts said.
I'm saving my pennies, now, waiting for LED-full backlit LCD's to get down to affordable – for me. I'm not an early adopter on TV sets. But, the set I have in mind will use about 30% less electricity than the critter currently inhabiting the entertainment corner of our living room.
Oh, the Panasonic "Life Wall" up top? I could fit it into one end of the living room if I took out the woodburning stove. And I probably wouldn't need the stove, anymore – after that.

The Spanish colonial mission and fort known as Los Adaes held the unique position of being a borderland site and served as both a destination and a UGRR way station on an established route between French Louisiana and Spanish Texas.As such it was under the jurisdiction of the Spanish Crown which early on prohibited the enslavement of peoples in the New World. Unfortunately, this prohibition was oftentimes ignored as economic necessity prevailed and the labor needs for plantations and thusly an enslaved labor force formed. However at Los Adaes cattle ranching and subsistence farming was the primary economic pursuit for the residents, thereby eliminating the need for enslaved laborers. As a borderland community, Adaes was not self-sufficient and residents engaged in trade for food with the French at Natchitoches (Galan 2006:2). This led to an established path between the two countries (Spanish Texas - French Natchitoches) which is known today as El Camino Real de los Tejas. The long established transportation corridor, known as El Camino was the route chosen by freedom seekers escaping to Los Adaes and other parts of the Spanish interior. By the late 1700s, free people of African descent formed 15% of the population in Texas (Barr 1996:3).

Lee (English surname)
Lee is a common surname in English-speaking countries. Lee is one of the most common British surnames. Lee is also the 22nd-most-common in the United States during the year 2000 census, although this conflates a number of unrelated surnames with the same spelling (see below).[1]
There are several distinct origins of the Lee surname. The most common is derived from Old English lēah, meaning a meadow or forest clearing.[2][3]
This developed variously into the surnames Lee, Lea, and Leigh. The Lees of Shropshire (originally Norman de Lee) were notable as the forebears of the colonial American Lee family which produced Richard Henry Lee, Robert E. Lee, and Zachary Taylor.
The name in Ireland has several diverse origins, resulting in widely dispersed clusters of the name in South Western, Western (Galway) and North Eastern Counties.[4] One recognized root was the anglicization of the gaelic surname "Ó Laoidaigh" which resulted in a number of variants, such as Lee, Lea, and Leigh.[5]
Other Lees have English roots and still others may have derived from the Norman "Du Lea". The 20th and 21st centuries saw the arrival of Chinese Lees as well.
The 1901 Irish census[6] list 4912 entries primarily in the counties of Galway, Dublin, Cork, Antrim, Limerick and Down.
East Asian[edit]
Lee is also the anglicized spelling of a number of East Asian surnames used by Chinese Americans or Korean Americans translating numerous surnames also romanized as Li,[1] particularly the one deriving from the Chinese word for "plum" (李, pinyin Lǐ; S.Kor. 이, Lee; N.Kor. 리, Rhee; Vietnamese 李, quốc ngữ Lê, Lý or Lí) which is among the most common surnames in the world. In America, Lee is the most common surname for Chinese and Korean Americans and the second-most-common surname for Asian and Pacific Islanders, behind the Vietnamese Nguyen.[1] Similarly, Lee is the third-most-common surname among Chinese Singaporeans.

- Jonna Lee, Swedish singer and head of iamamiwhoami.
- Barbara Lee, American politician
- Bernard Lee, British actor
- Brett Lee, Australian cricketer
- Caspar Lee, British-South African YouTube personality

Distinguished Friend of the College of Arts and Sciences
Edward G. RendellGovernorCommonwealth of Pennsylvania
Edward G. Rendell, Pennsylvania's 45th Governor, began a second term of office on January 16, 2007, following a landslide re-election victory. His unprecedented strategic investments have energized Pennsylvania's economy, revitalized communities, improved education, protected the environment and expanded access to health care to all children and affordable prescription drugs for older adults.
Governor Rendell is in many ways responsible for the amazing growth of the College of Arts and Sciences. When Allegheny University declared bankruptcy in 1998, it was Governor Rendell, then Mayor, who shared President Constantine Papadakis' vision of merging Drexel University with MCP Hahnemann University, also encouraging the economic growth of the area. It was his support that won the confidence of undecided Drexel trustees, and persuaded them to support the merger.
More recently, Governor Rendell has provided financial support, making available $10 million to Drexel University for the Constantine Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building through the Commonwealth's Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program.
Over the course of more than ten years, Governor Rendell has continually supported the development of the University and the College of Arts and Sciences in both principle and in action, and for that reason, we are pleased to honor him today.

Time for action at Gloucester's 'at risk' Bakers Quay
Posted: April 19, 2014|
Derelict buildings near Gloucester Quays are in danger of being lost forever as their condition worsens.
Falling masonry, collapsed walls and rooftops buckling under rainwater damage are just some of the problems at the complex of 19th century warehouses at the privately-owned Bakers Quay.
Squatters have even created their own drug den in the Downing's Malthouse Extension.
The Grade-II listed Provender Mill, the Malthouse Extension and a once-impressive timber-clad bridge between the two buildings are all on the 'buildings at risk' register kept by Gloucester City Council.

New pub in Gloucester at Bakers Quay to bring 50 jobs
Gloucester's heritage 'at risk' - how can historic city buildings be protected?
The 'at risk' register warns: "There is considerable vegetation growth to the walls and high-level details due to defective rainwater goods. One bay of the vented roof ridge to the north range has collapsed. The timber-clad gallery bridge between the Malthouse and the Extension is in very poor condition."
But owner Dick Bishop said the buildings are 'dry and water tight'. He added: "If you didn't maintain them the historic buildings lot would have me in court tomorrow morning. When you do try and repair the buildings they say you can't do this, can't do that."
Mr Bishop said he had visited the site in the last week and regularly secures the buildings but they are repeatedly broken into by squatters.
Asked if there was any sign that the site would be developed he vowed there would be an announcement in 'three or four weeks'.
Mr Bishop said: "It is all going on at the moment behind the scenes. When it does happen it won't just be one customer, there will be 20 people on the table.
"The area has been ripe for development for the last 20 years but the country has been in a state. We have had so many developers, even the big ones, who want a miracle but haven't got a ha'penny in their pockets. The customers are coming back now though."
Mr Bishop previously revealed plans in March 2013 for a new Premier Inn hotel, a Costa coffee drive-thru and Brewers Fayre pub-restaurant along with apartments.
Baker's Quay was constructed in the late 1830s by a group of businessmen led by Samuel Baker but the buildings fell into abandonment as industry at Gloucester Docks starting to wind up in the 1970s.
For several years developers Peel, owner of Gloucester Quays, have been trying to buy Bakers Quay from the Bishop family so that it can be redeveloped as part of the Quays shopping and leisure complex.
Jason Pullen, managing director of Peel Outlets, last night renewed his desire to see the site development by Peel. He said: "In June we will be seeking to renew the planning permission for the whole of the Gloucester Quays site which incorporates Bakers Quay and we still retain an interest in seeing a comprehensive development there."
The eyesore site has even been criticised by the Queen during her visit to the city in 2009 to see the progress of Gloucester's regeneration. Her Majesty looked at Bakers Quay and said: "You've still got some work to do then."
Frustration at the rate of progress, continues today. Gloucester City Council leader Paul James said: "They maybe water tight but they buildings are going to deteriorate if substantial repairs are not carried out and it detracts from the area where we have got the biggest regeneration scheme that Gloucester has ever seen.
"The economy has improved and it will make getting a development started easier. There have been some lengthy discussions with Rokeby Developments so I have a renewed sense of optimism, although I have learnt not to count my chickens. I look forward to hearing an announcement in three or four weeks then."
