My husband has a dirty factory job, you know, the kind where the dirt is ground in. He loves Prell and uses it as a body wash as well as a shampoo. We go through a bottle every 10 days or so. I should buy stock! From being the number one selling shampoo decades ago, now it is a little difficult to find, but I get it for him anyway. Love the scent. My hair is very dry so I wouldn't use it but it does wonders for him and he smells so nice out of the shower.

To the dreamers, the bad hair day conquerors, the jilted whose hearts are broken because so many shampoos have failed to to deliver: HERE IS THE SOLUTION!
Prell never lets me down. Its abundant lather-frenzy combined with a totally original fragrance create soft but light, airy locks which my waves and curls love. This radioactive green gel gives me the best hair days ever, and I often only use a light leave-in conditioner. I know Prell has been around a while, possibly longer than me, but it has withstood the test of time. My skin loves it too. And the price is absolutely fair, but varies from store to store. I wish more grocery stores carried it but oh well, Dollar General and Walgreens can usually be counted upon.
I recommend this for any hair. It's as good as shampoo gets.

I really love this shampoo. My longish, fine, highlighted and tangly hair can't stand protein, too much silicone, waxes etc. so this is perfect. I use Sheer Blonde and rotate it with this. I would have never considered trying this without having read the awesome reviews on makeupalley. So thanks guys! :) Leaves my hair clean, smelling awesome, bouncy and shiny.

I strayed from this for a year or so but I'm back. Why? I missed the fragrance. I missed the amazing cleaning frenzy generated by its abundant lather. And I missed smelling like Bath And Body when I use it as a body wash.
I enjoy dying my dark hair black and notice no color change. My hair is clean, healthy, not much falls out in my brush, and my skin isn't chapped even though it's mid-winter in the northeast and we're having brutal weather. Girls with dry hair should definitely condition after this but as a clarifier or basic shampoo, I think it's perfect. It has no oil, conditioning agents, or silicone so it gets down to the scalp for a super cleansing. I hope this is here forever! It works.

I've been using Prell for years and years now and it is amazing. Originally, it was recommended to me by a coworker to get brassy tones out of my (at the time) highlighted blonde hair, which I honestly don't remember if it helped with that at all, but I did like how clean it made my hair feel. Then I had several horrendous experiences where I went to the hair salon and asked to go back to my natural medium to dark brown hair which turned out being jet black and looked awful. I rinsed my hair 3 times in the shower with Prell over the next 3 days each time this happened and it lifted the color 2-3 shades! But you will need a deep conditioner or hair mask for this because rinsing your hair that many times with Prell will make your hair super dry. Fast forward a few years and I finally have butt length virgin hair again after letting all then old color(s) grow out and get cut off. Now I only wash my hair about once a week sometimes but rarely twice because I have a lot of heavy long brown hair where I can get away with not washing it for about 3 days before it even starts looking greasy, after that I use dry shampoo to mask it until I wash it. So compile all my leave in conditioners, heat protectors, shine sprays dry shampoos and on occasion hair sprays and I have myself an incredible amount of buildup that won't get washed out with using just a regular shampoo. That's where my holy grail Prell comes in! This shampoo is by far the best clarifying shampoo I've ever used. It has a very clean scent which is great since I am very weird with scents, it's affordable between 2-4 dollars a bottle depending on where you purchase it (I recommend walmart because it's usually the cheapest there) and it makes your hair so clean, you can literally hear your hair squeak! After I rinse with this shampoo (sometimes I rinse with it twice) I then use my regular shampoo and conditioner which currently is John Frieda brilliant brunettes for natural or colored brunettes or dove daily moisture. Some may say it's a lot to do but like I said I don't wash my hair very often as it's unnecessary for me not to mention it's a chore considering how long and thick my hair is haha but I refuse to cut it I love it long! On the flip side if you have color treated dark hair or red hair it will really strip the color out, as would any clarifying shampoo, so if you do use this I wouldn't use it every time you wash your hair like I do. I would also recommend you use a color depositing shampoo for your respective color if you decide to use this! Anyway that's my Prell story. I've loved and used this product for years and will continue to do so to keep my long hair clean and healthy!

I have a heard time finding shampoo i like, shampoo usually weighs my hair down and makes it look awful. I thought i'd give this ago. My great grandmother uses it. I wasnt expecting anything spectactular to happen but wow this shampoo made me hair light as a feather and gave it more bounce. I love it, i dont love the one chemical in it i cant remember the name so thats one bad thing but i'll continue to use it until i can find another shampoo that makes my hair amazing.

My hair always looks great when I use Prell. I recently rediscovered this super afforbable drugstore staple after many years. I have literally paid 10 times as much for salon and high end shampoos that do not deliver such good results. This lathers extremely well, smells fresh in that "classic clean" shampoo sense, and makes my hair look healthier, smoother, AND I can go longer in between shampoos when I use this. For reference, I have longish, fine/color treated hair.

I like how clean and shiny it gets my hair, but it gives me eczema inside/behind my ears, so I probably won't repurchase. I also don't like how liquid it is.

Like others, I bought this because I wanted to strip out some hair color that came out too dark. Quite honestly, I don't think really stripped out much color. But I did like that it made my scalp feel really clean. Sometimes I'll get spots on my scalp that are sore to the touch, even though there doesn't appear to be anything there, and Prell really seems to help with that. But,unfortunately since I started using Prell, my face has been getting little red bumps. I looked at the ingredient list and the culprit is most likely benzophenone-2, which is a sunscreen. Chemical sunscreens always irritate my face. I may use it once it a while, but I will have to be careful to wash any traces of it off my face.

My dream bourbon, that does not exist, would be a circa 1950's bottle of VOF 12 y.o. unfiltered, barrel strength. It would be incredible to be able to play with such a bourbon at barrel strength.
Beyond that, my tastes have moved more towards Rye, probably for the reason that you mention Gary, that the older bourbons seemed to be fruitier compared to today. Today I get a lot more "heat", which is probably due to the younger wood.
I would basically want a low entry proof, very old wood barrel. Probably a straight rye, or a heavily ryed bourbon. aged about 12 years. I guess that pretty much is a Wild Turkey 12 y.o. gold foil.
I do wish WT would start to offer some more high end offerings.....I think they could really make some exceptional specialty bourbons. The Rare Breed WT-03 (i think that's the current one) is awesome. Considering it's high proof and flavor profile, it an amazing purchase to what? mid $30??

Kennedy Winston is hoping his decision to leave Alabama early will pay off.
The former Crimson Tide star says he's confident he's done his part to secure a first-round selection in tomorrow night's NBA draft.
Winston skipped his senior season to enter the draft.
The 6-foot-6 shooting guard worked out for 10 NBA teams in recent weeks. Coach Mark Gottfried says his former player got positive reviews after the workouts.
UAB guard Donell Taylor also could be picked in the draft and is projected as a late second-round pick or free agent.

On my recent visit to New York, I made a trip to the Bronx Zoo. For years I have loved visiting zoos, and while my children were young, we took advantage of the family zoo pass, which is transferrable to many zoos across the country.
Zoos have long played a role in wildlife education and conservation. That is more important today than ever.
The Bronx Zoo is also a leader in wildlife conservation and the headquarters for the Wildlife Conservation Society, which is working with officials in Malaysia to stop people from hunting exotic birds for their feathers.
"We have to learn how to live in harmony with the animals around us and how to just think a little bit more before we do certain things," said Sara S. Marinello of the Wildlife Conservation Society.
According to Teacher.Scholastic.com, the San Diego Zoo has opened the Conservation and Research for Endangered Species Center. That zoo is known for helping save the giant panda. Three panda cubs have been born there, and it has the largest population of giant pandas outside China. Scientists with the zoo also are studying African wild dogs in Zambia and forest birds in Hawaii, and they are working to save iguanas in the Turks and Caicos Islands east of Cuba.
"Farmers in Africa," the website says, "think the spotted cheetah is an annoying pest. So they trap and kill them. Now cheetahs are in danger of disappearing forever. The National Zoo in Washington, D.C., is trying to change that through the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia. Scientists there are showing farmers that they don't have to kill cheetahs to keep them off their farms."
Several endangered species worldwide are no longer found in the wild, but only in zoos, such as the Guam Micronesian kingfisher. Their decline was due to a non-native brown snake, which escaped to the island from a naval ship during World War II. In 1985, a consortium of U.S. zoos went to Guam to capture the island's last 29 wild native kingfishers – brilliantly colored blue and orange, robin-sized birds – to start a captive breeding rescue effort. By the 1990s, 60 of the birds were living in zoos across the country, and the population now is 134 – all in zoos.
Further, it has been through zoos' education, research, and captive breeding programs that many other species have been kept from extinction or becoming endangered. According to Kelly Traw in Scientific American, "… the Association of Zoos and Aquarium's Species Survival Plan Program and related programs have helped bring black-footed ferrets, California condors, red wolves and several other endangered species back from the brink of extinction over the last three decades."
You can aid in the effort of bringing back endangered species by supporting zoos, or organizations that fund saving habitats. Remember one of the Green mottos – "Think globally – act locally."

COTTONWOOD, TEXAS (Callahan County). Cottonwood, on Farm Road 880 eight miles northwest of Cross Plains in southeastern Callahan County, was originally settled by J. W. Love in 1875 or 1876 and named for cottonwood trees growing in the area. Dr. H. O. Broadnax built the first store, and the region's agricultural prospects appealed to farmers who migrated from East Texas. A post office was established in 1882, and for some years Cottonwood was the area's trading center. The population was 350 in 1890, when a weekly newspaper, the Prodigal, edited by C. J. Wilson, was published. The town was remarkable in its early days for violence, including a couple of main-street shootouts with fatal results. Pioneers included Jim Champion, Dan Robinson, John Breeding, and Green and Henry Robinson. Early merchants included Bill Orr, Fred Griffin, Elias Norton, and J. F. Coffey. A fruit and vegetable cannery opened in 1903. Cottonwood faded with the advent of the automobile era and a shift of agricultural emphasis from fruit and vegetable farming to ranching. The population was reduced to 300 by 1915 and 120 in 1940. From 1980 through 2000 the population was sixty-five.

Farshid Moussavi's new Cleveland gallery opens doors
Farshid Moussavi Architecture's new home for The Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland (MOCA) has officially opened
Originally won in competition under the banner of her former practice Foreign Office Architects' in 2006 (AJ 31.06.06), the 18m-tall, $27.2 million (£17.6 million)scheme marks London-based Moussavi's US debut.
The 18m-tall, four-storey building in Cleveland's Uptown district is also Moussavi's first completed museum building.
Clad in mirror-finish black Rimex stainless steel, the 3,100m² structure rises from a hexagonal base to a square top which houses the main exhibition space.
The 10,300m², four-storey facility will give the museum 'street presence for the first time in its forty-plus-year history'.

Adan Osman left Kenya for a better life in the U.S., where he is a standout defensive lineman at Burlington High School. / GLENN RUSSELL/FREE PRESS
Adan Osman leads a contingent of African players warming up to American football at Burlington High School. / GLENN RUSSELL/FREE PRESS
During one of his social studies classes, Burlington High School football coach and teacher Brennan Carney asked students to give their personal reflections from the 9/11 attacks. Adan Osmans story stood out.
The Kenya native was bound for the United States, ready to leave behind a refugee camp in his homeland and begin a new life with his family. But Osmans plane was grounded after the 2001 terror attacks in New York City. Osmans dream was delayed, but for how long?
An entire calendar year, Carney said. All of sudden hes going back home to a refugee camp.
Osman and his family eventually made it to America, settling in Utica, N.Y., before moving to Burlington in 2004. Since, Osman has picked up the English language and received the education and opportunities he lacked in Kenya.
I wanted a better education. I didnt even go to school in Kenya because I was scared to go, said the 17-year-old Osman, who has four sisters and three brothers. I wanted a better quality of life. Im happy with the environment here. Theres positive energy.
Osman doesnt fit the mold of a Kenyan athlete. Hes not a runner; he tried soccer but didnt like it. At 5-foot-11, 200 pounds, Osman is a football player for the Division I Seahorses good enough to be named a captain in his senior year.
As a defensive lineman, hes a fearsome pass rusher with a high motor and strong work ethic.
Hes invested some time in the weight room. If you look at his frame, hes a big dude, Carney said. Hes playing really well for us. Hes put in the time and its paying off now.
Taking a liking to his position because he loves to just go get the quarterback, Osman wanted to prove Kenyans could excel in other sports.
I didnt want to do something my people are known for like running. I wanted to do something else in my life, Osman said. I played soccer for like three years and I wasnt feeling it. That was what dragged me to football.
And it might have started a trend at BHS. There are eight African immigrants in the Seahorses program, including two on the varsity squad. Kicker Ali Adam was the first to break through on varsity last year and Osman has taken the next step, Carney said.
Hes learned the game. Its a big learning curve. English is one thing, but football is its own language, too, which is hard for people to understand, Carney said. Its been a big step for him and hes been very successful.
Osman, who is playing through a knee injury, hopes to continue his football career at a Division III college.
Im really thankful Im here, said Osman, whose Seahorses (1-2) travel to South Burlington (1-2) tonight at 7.

We celebrate the birth of Jesus, but it is difficult for me to imagine that God was ever a baby. We are grateful for his sacrificial death on the cross that brought us salvation, but I can't really understand that God would feel the pain of the nails. We celebrate Jesus' resurrection but it is unthinkable that he would have felt the anguish of death and of separation from God the Father before being raised.
I was brought up to believe that Jesus was special, a supernatural being, God. These are all true, but if my understanding of Jesus ends there, it leaves a distance between my Savior and me. The distance is great, between earth and heaven. I am tempted to not expect his care because he has many more important matters to attend to. However, it was prophesized that he would be called Immanuel which means God with us. The bible says that God became flesh and dwelt among us. (Matthew 1:22-23, Isaiah 7:14, John 1:1-18)
- He was born to Mary of Nazareth, a human mother, through the power of the Holy Spirit - not of a human father. (Matthew1:18)
- He was a child like any other child except that the grace of God was on him.
There is a story that, at the age of twelve, he went with his parents to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover. When his parents and their company left the city to travel back home, Jesus stayed behind. About five days later, his parents found him sitting in the temple courts with the teachers. He was listening and asking questions. Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. (Luke 2:40-51)
- He was made like us in every way. He shares our flesh and blood so that by his death he would destroy the power of death over us.
- He suffered when he was tempted, so he is able to help those of us who are being tempted.
- He suffered extreme anguish at the prospect of the cross.
- He became obedient through suffering and became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him.
- He is called my merciful High Priest who helps me in my troubles. The fully human Jesus understands every problem. The fully God Jesus understands the workings of my heart better than I do, since he created it, and is working for my good, in every situation.
(Read: Hebrews 2:10-18, Hebrews 4:15-16, Hebrews 5:7-9, Mark 14:33-36, John 12:27, Romans 8:28)
- Prince of Peace
- Good Shepherd
- Light of the World
- Resurrection and Life
- My Savior and Redeemer
- The Image of the Invisible God
- Bread of Life, Healer and Forgiver
- He is the Mediator between me and God the Father
- He is all of these things and so much more and I can still go to him as I would a father or a friend.
He is:
(Read: John 6:35,51, Luke 5:22-25, 1 Timothy 2:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6, Colossians 1:15-17, John 1:4-5,9-5,17, John 10:14, Isaiah 9:6, John 11:25-26, Revelation 1:17-18)

Where is the debug/console log location on an iPad?
I'm trying to determine if and where the console log is stored on the actual device (an iPad in this case). The log lives in the applications Documents directory in the simulator but not on the iPad.
To be clear, this is the log to which Ti.API.trace messages would be written.
2 Answers
If you install the ICU (iPhone Configuration Utility) on your MAC and then use the Console Tab while your iPad is connected you will see all the info/debug messages that are output to the iPad console.
That was I also thought, but I can't find that options in my device, does it means I don't have administration privilege altering the configuration system? Anyway, I bought case from http://www.kekacase.com/design-your-own/custom-case-for-the-ipad-mini.html any idea about this site?

Dr. Judith Litvin, Associate Professor in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, is Chair of the Curriculum Committee, Vice Chair of Education in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Ombudsperson at Temple's School of Medicine, Educator at the Medical, Dental, Podiatry and Graduate levels and is nationally and internationally recognized as a cellular and molecular developmental biologist. Dr. Litvin has mentored students at the high school, college and graduate school levels. Many of her students have won regional and national prizes for their work performed in her laboratory. She has been a leader in the advancement of graduate education within her department and at the medical school, has organized a workshop for chairpersons and section-chiefs to promote and teach the importance of 'mentorship' and continues to work towards providing faculty with tools to promote progress and advancement.
Dr. Litvin is trained as a cellular and molecular developmental biologist. Her research initially focused on the study of grastrulation in Xenopus laevis and later on muscle develpment. First, on skeletal muscle development and later on cardiac or heart muscle development. She is recognized in the field of avian heart development, specifically for her studies and reports on the location of cardiac progenitor cells early in the developmental process. Recently, her interests have moved to the identifiaction of genes expressed early in heart development and their role(s) in pathologies in the adult heart. One such molecule is Periostin-Like-Factor. Interestingly, it is also expressed in bone as are many other recently identified molecules. Since the bone-heart connection is intruiging and a natural extension of her research interests she has started to examine the role of PLF in bone formation and disease.

Good to know these folks can take a break from destroying this nation's economy. "It is like drinking merlot," said one trader. See a video below on what the heck curling is. Eric Dash writes in the New York Times:
Wall Street trading is often described as a blood sport. But inside the great investment houses, the sport of the moment is, of all things, curling — that oddball of the Olympics that is sort of like shuffleboard on ice.
This slow-poke game, which originated in 16th-century Scotland, has captivated the Type-A world of Wall Street almost by accident. CNBC, whose market chatter is the background music on trading floors, switches to curling from Vancouver shortly after the closing bell. And so, after a day of braying for money in the markets, traders are winding down with curling. It is, fans say, a bit of after-market therapy. Curling is so slow and drawn out that it becomes mesmerizing.
"It is like drinking merlot," said Douglas A. Kass, the president of Seabreeze Partners, who got hooked on Olympic curling a few years ago via CNBC. (Read More: New York Times)

The Wisconsin Department of Corrections (DOC) will again work with local law enforcement agencies across the state to closely monitor sex offenders on probation or parole and keep children safe during Halloween trick-or-treat activities.
Operations are planned throughout the state where DOC probation and parole agents will team up with law enforcement officers to keep children safe during trick-or-treating by conducting random home visits on high-risk sex offenders. Any offenders in violation of their "Halloween Restrictions" will be placed into custody.
"Halloween is a perfect opportunity to discuss safety with children that can be practiced throughout the whole year," said Grace Roberts, the DOC's director of sex offender programs. "For trick-or-treating, children should never go alone and always be accompanied by a parent or trusted adult. Children should be taught to never enter homes of other people without their parent's permission. Lastly ... parents should know the neighborhood before going out."
Parents can get to know the neighborhood by accessing the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry website at offender.doc.state.wi.us/public/ and conducting a zip code search. If possible violations are seen, call (877) 234-0085. As always, the DOC recommends that the public contact local law enforcement if the situation is an emergency.

Government Policies and Programs to Eliminate the Worst Forms of Child Labor
The Government of Kyrgyzstan has made efforts to improve the educational sector through various national programs. The Asian Development Bank supported the Bilim project, which included measures to ensure access to schools among poor populations and rehabilitate school facilities,[1403] and Araket and Jetkincheck are government education programs that provide school supplies or other educational benefits for low income families.[1404] The IOM, with funding from USAID, is implementing an anti-trafficking program in cooperation with government ministries to raise awareness, educate potential victims, and initiate a preventive action plan.[1405]
Incidence and Nature of Child Labor
Statistics on the number of working children under the age of 15 in Kyrgyzstan are unavailable. Children are reportedly found selling newspapers, cigarettes and candy, washing cars, or working in bazaars.[1406] In southern rural areas, children work in mines; they are pulled out of school to harvest cotton; and during the summer, when school is out, they work on commercial tobacco farms.[1407] Child labor is also found on family farms and in family enterprises such as shepherding or selling products at roadside kiosks.[1408] Children are reported to work as prostitutes in Bishkek, and girls as young as 13 years are trafficked to countries including the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, China, Russia, Germany, and Kazakhstan, to name a few.[1409]
The Constitution establishes free and compulsory education up to the secondary level, which is generally completed by the age of 14.[1410] In 1995, the gross primary enrollment rate was 104.1 percent, and the net primary enrollment rate was 94.6 percent.[1411] The current economic crisis and declining family incomes has led to an increase in the number of children who drop out of school and take up work.[1412]
Child Labor Laws and Enforcement
The Labor Code sets the minimum age for employment at 16 years. However, work may begin at age 14, so long as children obtain the consent of parents or guardians and the work does not interfere with school attendance or pose a threat to their health and development.[1413] The Labor Code prohibits children under 18 years from working overtime hours or at night.[1414] Hazardous work is prohibited for children under 18 years of age.[1415] Both the Constitution and the Labor Law prohibit forced labor.[1416] The Criminal Code prohibits the recruitment of individuals for exploitation, trading or selling of children, and coercion into prostitution.[1417]
According to the IOM, weak legislation and a lack of coordination between government ministries results in the prosecution of few crimes related to the trafficking of people.[1418] Compliance with labor legislation is monitored by state health agencies, trade unions, government departments, and commissions for minors.[1419] The Government of Kyrgyzstan ratified ILO Convention 138 on March 31, 1992, but has not ratified ILO Convention 182.[1420]

>Sonora / Tuolumne News, Sports, & Weather, Angels Camp, Twain Harte, Jamestown | Union Democrat
Sherri Brennan was sailing towards victory Tuesday night in the race for Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors' District 1.
Preliminary results from the county Elections Office show Brennan with a comfortable lead over incumbent Supervisor Liz Bass, 59.11 to 40.43 percent. According to the unofficial results, Brennan has received 2,095 votes, and Bass has received 1,433. An estimated 5,000 mail-in and 1,800 provisional ballots were counted Tuesday.
Bass has been the supervisor for two four-year terms for the district, which includes the city of Sonora and some adjacent areas. The former educator touted her experience in local government during the campaign, with Brennan promising to fight for private land-use rights and lower regulation.
Brennan said she's "excited" about the preliminary results, saying the support her campaign has received is "incredible."
The campaign, she said, "Wasn't about talking about (Bass') record as much as what I could do differently," she said when reached Tuesday evening, adding the voters "have to applaud" Bass' service on the board.
The two emerged as the top two vote getters in the June primary, with Brennan bringing in the highest number and Bass clinching second place by a handful of votes. Brennan out-raised Bass during the campaign by an almost two-to-one margin, with strong support from local agricultural interests.
Bass conceded the loss, but declined to comment further on the election when reached Tuesday.
Brennan's victory could change the dynamic on the Board of Supervisors. While supervisor elections are officially nonpartisan, Bass was the only Democrat on the board for many years. Her departure also means four out of the five supervisors will have served for two years or less.
Dick Pland, the board's current chairman and senior supervisor, opted not to run for re-election. With Bass no longer on the board, the change will make John Gray the senior member. Gray secured a second four-year term in the June primary by receiving more than 50 percent of the vote.
Brennan said she believes it's "exciting" to have so much new energy on the Board of Supervisors. She pointed to multiple priorities for her and the board in the coming term, including revising the county's Biological Resources Review Guide to make sure it less restrictive for developers.
"I think that the residents of Tuolumne County have sent a message. They want us to look at things with fresh eyes, and we're gonna do that," she said.

McConnell returns from injury, leads Chartiers Valley
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Chartiers Valley's Matty McConnell had 32 points, including 17 in the third quarter of Friday night's 74-59 victory over Section 5-AAA rival Montour. It was the first game in two weeks for McConnell, who underwent an appendectomy Dec. 19.
"I thought I was going to be tired, but I didn't feel tired at all," said McConnell, who wasn't cleared to play until a 3 p.m. doctor's appointment. "I was surprised when I didn't have any rust."
The junior guard had four of his five 3-pointers in the third, when his only missed shot was a free throw. The Colts led 35-27 at halftime but started the fourth quarter with a 19-point lead.
"We weren't sure he was going to play," said Tim McConnell, his father and CV's coach. "He's still a little bit sore, but it was his decision. ... I know my son. He wants to go. There's no keeping him out."
The game-winning effort from his son was more than even his dad anticipated.
"He was a lot better than I expected," Tim McConnell said. "He was moving and in there banging around. I didn't know if he'd be tentative."
The surgery cost McConnell three games, including his team's lone loss this season, 57-46 to Ambridge. He played Dec. 17 but woke the next morning feeling ill. He left school early that day and visited the hospital Dec. 19.
"It was so swollen, and it was lacerated and leaking out a little bit," Tim McConnell said. "If it had burst, it would have been a lot more severe."
This was a rematch of last season's WPIAL Class AAA championship, which Montour won 47-40. Graduation removed notables from both lineups, but it remains an important matchup for No. 2 Chartiers Valley (8-1, 4-0) and No. 5 Montour (5-3, 2-1).
With a pressing defense and an up-tempo attack, Chartiers Valley forced 23 turnovers and made Montour play at a pace faster than normal.
"We don't practice that way, (and) we don't play a lot of games at that pace," Montour coach Adam Kaufmann said, "so absolutely, we played into their hands. We don't play in the 80s or 70s."
Protecting a double-digit lead, CV didn't attempt a field goal in the fourth quarter, forcing Montour to foul.
Dustin Sleva had 25 points for Montour, and Kyle Kutchman had 14.
Haedyn Herzer had 14 for Chartiers Valley.
Chartiers Valley led 35-27 at halftime. McConnell had eight first-half points for the Colts, who needed just four minutes to build a big lead.
Tied 2-2, Chartiers Valley scored the next 11 points. When sophomore Eddie Flohr scored with 4:35 left in the first quarter, the Colts led 13-2. Montour went more than three minutes without a point.
With its lead down to five, Chartiers Valley went on a 14-2 run in the second quarter.

Recent prostitution arrests and sex trafficking cases in federal court show that South Dakota is not immune to these types of crimes.
When she opened Be Free Ministries, an anti-human trafficking organization that rescues victims of trafficking and raises awareness, Susan Omanson had her sights set on overseas. She worked with victims in places like Bangkok, Thailand. Omanson expected sex trafficking to be a big issue over there. Then she took a good look at her home town of Sioux Falls.
"Like most of the population, I had no idea these things were happening and the stories are tragic," Omanson said.
Every form of sex trafficking happens in South Dakota according to Omanson. From sex tourism during hunting season and Sturgis to an increasing number of women and teens being sold on the internet. The latter can often start from something small.
"A lot of kids, they love it when they can say, 'I have 653 friends on Facebook.' But you don't understand when you've let anybody be your friend, who might be lurking on Facebook," Omanson said. "It could be somebody who you think is a 13-year-old girl and it turns out it is a 64-year-old man."
Omanson said prostitution can often be sex trafficking. In many cases, a pimp will use force, fraud and coercion when dealing with prostitutes. Still, the recent arrests are not all bad news. True, it is evidence sex trafficking exists in the area, but Omanson hopes it means people are opening their eyes.
"There's an increased awareness, but also we have amazing law enforcement that have taken this issue on. Everybody from the U.S. Attorney's Office to our Police Department, guys on the street crimes division; amazing," Omanson said.
Plus with helpful tips from concerned citizens, and legislation passed last year, Omanson said we could be slowly catching up to the criminals.
"We're aware of who some of the bigger fish are, and we haven't caught them yet," Omanson said.

The lure of Pinterest has me already decorating the nurseries of my unborn children and so it should come as no surprise that I offered to host my older sister's baby shower.
But what started as a simple "cake and coffee" celebration morphed into more as the excitement built and the invites went out. Suddenly there was a color scheme to follow, decor to handcraft and a bakery-worthy cake to display on the stands collecting dust in the kitchen.
Not one to take the easy way out, I began with decorations some months before the big day. While my friends were out at happy hour, you could find me at Michaels ...

Refreshing change of doing auto repair. I needed a tune up on my Toyota. The local dealer was going to do it. The local dealer was way to high so I decided to look for another alternative. I am happy to say "same day service" all my car needs are done. I would highly recommend this facility for Toyota or Lexus service. Fast, clean, friendly, on-time. I could not ask for anything more.

Last week: 18 rushes for 54 yards and one TD; six receptions for 61 yards in 40-27 loss to No. 4 LSU.
Is it harsh to put him 10th? Maybe. One game can't kill a campaign, but it may take a while to make up for this one. Playing against what is likely the best defense he'll see all season, James failed to live up to the moment. It was just the third time in the 19 regular-season games he was held under 100 yards, but considering the last time we saw James he was limited to 54 yards by Auburn, that makes two spotlight games in which he's faltered. He's had his mulligan and needs to get back on track this weekend.
Next up: Saturday vs. Nevada

Wherever you live, work or visit in Rhondda Cynon Taf, you are very close to a site of historical importance and interest.
There is evidence that the history of Rhondda Cynon Taf dates back over 10,000 years. Ranging from the Mesolithic Period of the hunter-gatherers, and the nomadic tribes of the Bronze & Iron Ages. The sparse population in the Middle Ages depended on the forestry and raising cattle & sheep to survive, and lived in green and densely wooded valleys. The Iron Industry was evident in the 16th century followed by tin plate and china works in the south.
The 1800s however brought the industry that changed the beautiful landscape dramatically. Pits were rapidly sunk all over the valley and the once green and lush valleys changed out of all recognition.
Rhondda Cynon Taf, at the heart of the World's first industrial nation, had hillsides quarried away and artificial ones created with waste products from the coalmines. Canals, viaducts, bridges, railways and roads were built to support the transport of coal, further destroying the natural environment.
The population of Rhondda Cynon Taf increased by over 230,000 from 1801-1901. Row upon row of terraced houses were built to accommodate the influx of workers, thus forming the basis of the communities we know today.
Since the decline of the coal industry however, nature is reclaiming its land. The valleys are green once more, with breathtaking views as far as the eye can see.
This is our history and heritage, and this web page has been developed by the Heritage Service to guide you through the various links, to enable you to learn more about the people, places, and events that gave us our culture and shaped Rhondda Cynon Taf as it is today.

In a video released on Facebook this morning, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, the party's chair, is shown walking to an office break room refrigerator. As she opens the door, she pulls out a cheesesteak. Then, the camera pans in on the bumper stickers outside the fridge. Those bumper stickers all note past host cities of the convention. Then, Schultz is seen slapping a Philadelphia sticker on the door. The city's convention bid site is still up and running and has facts about why Philadelphia is the right choice for the party of Obama and Clinton. It appears the party agreed with that assessment. The last major political convention held here was the 2000 Republican National Committee convention, in which George W. Bush was nominated for president. That four-day confab raised over $63 million for the GOP. Presumably, Philadelphia will raise even more for the Democrats, given that the city's a staunch blue urban center, with Dems outnumbering Republicans eight to one. The city worked hard for the convention, and despite some people bleating about how it might not be in Philly's best interest, the convention will certainly be an economic boon to the city and to Democrats. More than that, though, is that this choice by Democrats is yet another feather in William Penn's cap. Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Login with your Social ID Your email address will not be published.

May is Bike Month is rolling right along. The California goal is 2 million miles for the month. So far, 1.1 million miles have been posted. There's about 2 weeks left to get that other 900,000 miles ridden.
Across the nation, a few more million miles will be posted. The whole idea is to bring riding bikes right up front in the news and everyone's though processes. Generally speaking, there are quite a few riding events throughout the month.
Depending on where you live, riding at this time of year may be wide open or still just a bit dependent on what the weather is doing. Where I live, rain and snow still are on the menu. Back east, a lot of rain and snow may still be on the menu. Ride when you can, then post your miles on the May is Bike Month site.
You don't have to ride any set number of miles, or join a team, or doing anything other than ride. The "teams" aren't actually teams in the sense of a competitive group. It's just a way to associate with your friends or colleagues from work, or the folks who frequent your local bike shop.
I am on a team, but like almost every mile I ride, I ride alone. My miles, 171.5 of them for this month, are recorded under the bike shop's team. We are over 3,000 miles so far. If it got any more simple, it would be done while we were all fast asleep.
What's it cost, you say? Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero. Bubkis and so on. Free in plain speak. If you ride a mile, record a mile. One mile is better than no miles.
Sign up, ride, record, enjoy. It's a good deal.

Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation
The Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center of Delaware Valley
Magee Rehabilitation offers one of the nation's leading rehabilitation programs for people with spinal cord injuries (SCI). With more than 4,000 SCI patients in its follow-up system, Magee has the clinical experience and the unique peer resources that no other Greater Philadelphia rehabilitation program can offer.
Since 1978, Magee has partnered with Thomas Jefferson University Hospital to form The Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center of the Delaware Valley. This federally designated model system of care is one of only 14 in the country to provide coordinated lifetime care for people with SCI and their families. Magee's SCI program is also accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
Magee's SCI services include an expert clinical inpatient program; state-of-the-art assistive and therapeutic technology; unique outpatient therapy programs; and community reintegration services. Lifetime follow-up care is coordinated through Magee to address the unique health and community reintegration concerns of people with SCI.
Magee's SCI inpatients can begin taking part in restorative programs immediately following their admission and initial evaluations. Therapies are offered seven days per week, and physician and nursing services are available 24 hours a day. Patients will be at Magee for varying periods of time, based on their goals and progress. Each member of the treatment team works with the patient and caregivers for a return to home that is both as safe and speedy as possible. Most inpatient stays are complemented by continuing care services at home or in outpatient settings.
The benefits of rehabilitation do not stop after a patient has successfully demonstrated improved function and has returned home. People with SCI are likely to have some form of long-term disability and unique healthcare needs through the remainder of their lives. All resources and services of Magee Rehabilitation are available through the Lifetime Follow-Up System of Care.
Magee's Lifetime Follow-Up System of Care provides patients and families with continued access to a rehabilitation physician and a team of expert rehabilitation professionals. This team provides a variety of services to help patients maintain or regain their level of physical function and good health. Case management is offered to coordinate each patient's lifetime SCI care needs. Magee treats patients who are at least 14 years old, and has a specialized adolescent coordinator that works with young people. Within the last year, Magee has treated 10 spinal cord inpatients and 4 outpatients under the age of 18.

Magee is proud to partner with the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to offer the NeuroRecovery Network (NRN). The NRN is part of our Locomotor Training Program, which is one form of activity-based therapy now offered at Magee.
Not only is rehabilitation therapy vital for maintaining the general health of spinal cord injured individuals, but now evidence is accumulating that shows how vigorous repetitive exercise can exploit neural plasticity both above and below the injury site, leading to an improvement in walking and standing capacity.

The Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center of the Delaware Valley (RSCICDV) has assembled a comprehensive Spinal Cord Injury Patient Family Education Manual, that is being used throughout the US and in some areas internationally to help persons understand the sequela of the spinal cord injury. It is designed for use by the person with a spinal cord injury or dysfunction and his or her family and caregivers. It is a guide to provide information on the many aspects of spinal cord dysfunction, including medical, functional and psychosocial issues.
This handbook will help prepare for discharge from a rehabilitation program and supplement lifelong learning about spinal cord injury. The handbook is divided into topic sections. Please feel free to request additional information, and we would appreciate any comments you may have about the handbook. The handbook may also be downloaded to a personal computer from this site. A Spanish version of this manual will be coming soon.

Parents sue UW fraternity for son's fall from window
SEATTLE -- Just two days after a University of Washington student fell to his death at his fraternity house, the parents of another student nearly killed the same way began what they say is their search for justice.
The Renton couple is suing the Delta Upsilon International Fraternity for the fall that left their son with serious injuries.
In April 2005, Erik Anderson fell from the window of his his fourth-story bedroom at the Delta Upsilon house. Anderson was asleep in his bed when he suddenly fell out of his window, plunging 45 feet down to the pavement below.
Anderson survived, but has spent nearly $280,000 on medical bills since. Now his parents want someone to pay.
The lawsuit filed by Anderson's parents blames several people for his fall. It says the fraternity failed to provide a safe living and sleeping space.
It claims Anderson's top bunk to which he was assigned had no safety railings and was placed next to a free-swinging window.
The suit also alleges the fraternity made repairs and changes to the bedroom windows without permits, making them even more dangerous.
The fraternity's alumni advisor is said to have gotten a good deal on the contractor for the window replacements, according to the suit, and that contractor, Caledonia Bay Builders, wasn't qualified to do the job.
Back in 2005, the university said Anderson had been drinking before he fell. The fall had taken place shortly after he had attended the fraternity's "Trashed Tuesday" party. Noting he was only 19 at the time, the lawsuit claims the fraternity failed to monitor underage drinking.
Anderson's attorney even alleges the fraternity encouraged underage drinking and says its members had so-called emergency procedures in place to cover it up. The procedures allegedly instructed members on what to say, how to remove evidence and hide underage drinkers from authorities.
No one at the fraternity was willing to answer questions and calls to the fraternity headquarters in Indianapolis were not returned.
Earlier this month, 21-year-old Kevin MacDonald, a member of the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity from Kent, died after falling out of a window. Police said the window to MacDonald's third-floor bedroom was open and that he was either getting in or out of bed when he fell.
Six years ago another UW student was killed in a fall from the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. His parents sued and later settled out of court.
Delta Upsilon operates more than 80 undergraduate men's fraternity chapters in and outside the U.S.

R699 new car scheme 'is a con'Comment on this story
Johannesburg -
'It had the historical traits of a true Ponzi scheme." So said Wesbank chief executive Chris de Kock on Friday of the Satinsky Group's "New Car From R699pm" deal, which imploded this week.
In a statement issued on Friday, De Kock was scathing about not only the scheme but about the banks' competitors, which have financed the deals.
In 2012, Wesbank declined Satinsky's invitation to finance the cars in a deal aimed at relatively low income earners, having investigated the company and deemed its business strategy not to be in consumers' best interests, De Kock said.
Consumers were sold on the idea of "subsidising" their monthly car finance instalments by plastering advertising stickers on their cars in return for a monthly advertising fee.
Absa, Nedbank and Standard Bank's vehicle finance divisions agreed to finance the deals, over long terms - six years - and at high interest rates; up to Prime plus 4 percent.
Most of the estimated remaining 7 000 branded car owners discovered this week that they had not been paid a cent in advertising fees for June, leaving them legally indebted to pay the full instalment to their banks - typically about R2 600 a month.
De Kock said there was no evidence of the company's financial reserves. "It seemed blatantly obvious that the scheme relied on upfront profits - from car sales, and commissions on finance and insurance products - to fund its downstream obligations: the historical traits of a true Ponzi scheme."
On Friday, Absa told Independent Newspapers that it had reviewed its relationship with Satinsky late last year after receiving consumer complaints about the advertising scheme.
The bank recently terminated its relationship with the company altogether. Asked to comment on the Wesbank statement, Satinsky Group chief executive Albert Venter denied that his business model - in place for eight years - was anything like a Ponzi scheme, and said it was not true that the business was "barely solvent and with little capital", as De Kock alleged. "If that is so, how come we paid a substantial amount in tax last year? And how come Wesbank has accepted my personal surety for the floor plan of another dealership I am involved in?"
As for the affordability issue, Venter said each applicant's income and expenditure was assessed and verified in the normal way. If approved, they were made to sign the bank documents.
Asked why the advertising fee deal had collapsed, Venter said a lot of bad publicity had been generated by clients who fraudulently took their stickers off their cars and submitted fake photographic proof of their continued advertising of the deal, with the result that "fewer and fewer advertisers came on board".
He conceded that the company had failed to communicate with its clients as their fees began to diminish in recent months, for no apparent reason.
On Tuesday, Satinsky told its clients that it had dissolved the "management agreement" between itself and Blue Lakes Trading & Promotions of Hong Kong, and appointed Accelerator Rewards (Pty) Ltd as its new partner instead.
No need for stickers on cars, no need to do a specific mileage, Venter says - just download a smartphone app, send out referrals, and if you sell a car you get "up to R3 000 in cash".
About 4 400 people previously contracted to Blue Lakes had already signed up, Venter said. "We are aiming for 7 000 people, which will make us the biggest dealership in the country, and I can assure you customer satisfaction will be very high."

Our New Look
Yay! I finally got around to taking photos of our new business system. We created this identity with the understanding that we would be traveling for a year. Because of this, we kept amounts small and only printed what we felt we needed and what we felt would work best for this "alternative" working style. Instead of a standard letterhead, we opted for a postcard and notecard. We felt this was more mobile and highlighted the idea that we were on the road. We also use a stamp to pinpoint our location on a map on the mailing label.
Our new blog was a large part of this trip. For us it was a way to record and share our travels. Because of this, we wanted to have something to give people we met along the way, or those people or places we wanted to feature that wasn't as stuffy as a business card. Our solution was the blog pog–a bit quirkier leave behind that let people know we were going to blog about them (EHD Likes You) or simply directed people to the blog to find out more (EHD Was Here).
It was beautifully letterpressed by the always awesome Studio On Fire.
Very slick! Love the blog leave behind idea.
Those pogs are awesome! Seems like it captures the fun spirit that you guys are all about (at least from my far-off evaluation!).
I love this! Hope you don't mind if I post about it tomorrow.
Really nice and fresh look. The blog pogs are a great idea and they look awesome!

With the brand new maternity range that's just arrived online and in stores, we've been thinking about maternity styling, which can be tricky. We wanted to give you a few tips on how to dress through pregnancy, so I asked the maternity team for their suggestions:
If you want to stay on trend for the whole nine months, try our new over-the-bump leggings, available in black or navy, which are not only a great fit but really comfortable too. You can team these with a 2in1 cardi to create a slimming effect by combining long lines and a close fit, which draws the eye vertically.
For an easy to wear casual outfit, we also have an indigo skinny jean with under-the-bump waistband, which works well with our empire ditsy top. The empire line is really flattering with a bump, and the ditsy print means you'll stay in style all summer.
Look out for our new fit advice page, which is coming soon exclusively on the website and will help you find out more about what to wear and how to wear it.
Great advice from the team! Don't forget, for any questions you can email them directly on firstname.lastname@example.com

A Philadelphia mother of two is facing three years in prison after she mistakenly entered New Jersey, where she was stopped for a traffic violation and found in possession of a handgun loaded with hollow-point bullets.
Shaneen Allen, 27, was pulled over in New Jersey's Atlantic County after making an unsafe lane change in the early morning hours of Oct. 1. Allen then told the officer that she had the .380 Bersa Thunder handgun, as well as a concealed carry permit for Pennsylvania, unaware that her permit was not transferable to The Garden State.
She faces a mandatory three years in prison if convicted. I also suspect that the initial charge of an "unsafe lane change" was no doubt really just "driving while Black." N.J. cops are known for that.

This makes me sick. Here you have a woman who takes responsibility for her family's safety and get her CHL and furthermore she is an honest woman who is not making trouble but informing the police that she is armed.
Now with all of the crime in New Jersey they decided to punish her and make a criminal out of this mother who has not done any harm to anyone. If Christi does not step in and help her he does not deserve to become a Federal Dog Catcher, much less be considered as a presidential candidate.

"much less be considered as a presidential candidate."
I was telling my wife this the other day. She is a bit new to thinking on the right side of reasonable. She likes the big guy, but I told her that he would never get the nomination because of his gun record.

She volunteered to the officer that she had a permit and had a weapon in the car. I've read that the officer and judge told her she was being punished for being honest.

I fled the Peoples Socialist Republik of New Jersistan 14 years ago for the rational and reasonable Gunshine state of Florida.

Global Service Parts Logistics in the High Tech Sector

Trends in the Global Service Parts Logistics Industry
Service Parts Logistics is one of the key growth areas in the global logistics market. The importance to manufacturers of after sales service as a product differentiator has developed significantly over the last decade, as many high tech products have become increasingly commoditised.
At the same time as being required to provide exceptional customer service by maximising 'up time', manufacturers are facing the challenge of reducing inventory levels. If they fail to deliver world class after sales service they risk devaluing their brand, and losing ground to competitors which have endorsed the importance of providing a comprehensive, whole-life service.
The need to deliver enhanced levels of customer service (for which they can charge premium prices), has led many manufacturers to position product parts in close proximity to their clients. Many sectors - medical technology for example - require service recovery in hours, if not minutes, due to the criticality of the nature of their business.
From a supply chain perspective, the importance which manufacturers are now placing on the service side of their business has led to much more stress in the system, as locating parts close to customers can lead to vastly over-stocking.
How this seeming paradox is reconciled is one of the greatest issues facing the industry. Global Service Parts Logistics for the High Tech Sector sets out how many companies are going about meeting this challenge.
What information does Global Service Parts Logistics contain?
Global Service Parts Logistics in the High Tech Sector contains an analysis of all the major trends impacting on the industry. Looking at four key segments - IT Services, Telecommunications, Medical Technology and Computer and Office Equipment (including Photocopiers) - the report looks at how the industry has evolved to meet client needs in a dynamic, fast moving environment. Global Service Parts Logistics contains sections on:
- The market structure and logistics of the Telecommunications and IT Services sectors.
- Profiles of the SPL operations and requirements of the major Telcos and OEMs.
- The expanding role of the Contract Electronic Manufacturers in the sector.
- Trends in the Computer, Office Equipment and Photocopier sectors.
- Global market sizing and forecasts for the major segments.
- SPL demands of the major Medical Equipment manufacturers.
- Profiles of all the leading SPL providers.
The report provides an essential overview of the sector, containing an insight into many manufacturers' SPL strategies, the SPL providers they use, and how systemic changes in each sector will affect how the industry will look in the next five years.
Service Parts Logistics Models
A number of different models have been developed by manufacturers and their logistics suppliers to provide the high levels of customer service required in today's service parts logistics industry. Although basic requirements are the same i.e. ensuring that the end user gets the level of service which has been contracted, there are several ways in which this can be achieved.
Usually it is only the biggest companies which are able to demand customized solutions from SPL providers. Small to medium sized players are most often satisfied by a generic, menu driven approach. The report sets out the various options which are on offer from the major SPL providers.
Market Sizing, Sector Trends and Developments
The most important trends and developments in the high tech sectors are addressed within the report. Coverage includes IT Services, Telecommunications, Computers and Office Equipment (including a section on Photocopiers) as well as Medical Technology. The latest thinking of the major manufacturers, distilled from in-depth interviews with leaders in the field, reveals how the market has evolved and in which direction it will develop. Most importantly the implications of these trends for SPL providers are assessed, providing a clear strategic road map.
Service Parts Logistics Supply Side Profiles
The report contains profiles of the largest global SPL providers, UPS SCS, DHL, FedEx and TNT plus many other regional players from Europe and North America. The profiles look at the strategic rationale for the development of the SPL operations; their importance to the leading express players; their acquisitions and network development; scale and scope of their operations as well as their prospects for the future. Also featured in the report are profiles of the leading European drop off box networks and brief portraits of the key Service Parts Optimisation Software providers.

Bridget Riley: Learning from Seurat
- 17 September 2015 — 17 January 2016 *on now
In 1959 Bridget Riley painted a copy of Georges Seurat's Bridge at Courbevoie, one of the highlights of The Courtauld Gallery. This experience represented a significant breakthrough for Riley, offering her a new understanding of colour and perception.
The lessons she took from Seurat emboldened her to strike out into the realm of pure abstraction and over the following few years she produced the first major abstract paintings based upon repeated geometric patterns for which she is today famed.
This seminal moment of artistic discovery is the springboard for a special display which will bring Seurat's Bridge at Courbevoie with a selection of seven early works by Riley.
Suitable for
- Any age
- 26 September 2015 — 10 January 2016 *on now
Over the centuries, artists have used lofty, sometimes imagined viewpoints to create panoramas: dramatic, sweeping overviews of the world. Such panoramas can express a range of ideas, from civic pride and political power to Romantic notions of the sublime and the awe-inspiring power of nature.
This display, which runs concurrently with the exhibition Soaring Flight: Peter Lanyon's Gliding Paintings, explores the tradition of panoramic landscape before the age of powered flight. Ranging from the sixteenth through the nineteenth centuries and including works by John 'Warwick' Smith, J. M. W. Turner, Canaletto and Adam Frans van der Meulen, it considers some of the many facets of artists' enduring fascination with the infinite.
Suitable for
- Any age
Soaring Flight: Peter Lanyon's Gliding Paintings
- 15 October 2015 — 17 January 2016 *on now
This major exhibition explores a remarkable and unprecedented series of paintings by Peter Lanyon, one of Britain's most important and original Post-War artists.
Lanyon (1918-64) sought to create a new vision of landscape painting for the modern era that could express both sensory experience and a profound understanding of our fragile existence within the world.
During the 1950s, he produced radical, near-abstract paintings of the tough coastal landscape of his native West Cornwall inspired by his experience of gliding, this series will be showcased in a major retrospective at The Courtauld this autumn.

Gender Focal Points Appointed
Friday, 07 May 2010 00:00
On 7th May 2010 Major General Bernhard Bair, COM EUFOR appointed Lt Col Christianne Vermue and reappointed Mrs Nikolina Marceta as mission Gender Focal Points for Operation ALTHEA. The protection of Human Rights and Gender Equality are fundamental principles of EU policy. Their appointment underlines the ongoing need for efforts to continue gender mainstreaming in the mission area.
In congratulating Lt Col Vermue and Mrs Marceta on their appointments COM EUFOR said:
"For me this issue is of particular significance and therefore I have put a clear emphasis on gender perspectives in Operation ALTHEA. We have aimed and continue to aim to achieve a greater sensitivity towards gender issues, in order to foster more balanced gender awareness, and thus to improve the overall situational awareness.
