East African Community (EAC) heads of state on Saturday directed the Council of Ministers to come up with a verification report by November, this year, regarding an admission request of South Sudan to join the five-nation regional bloc.
The date was set at a closed-door meeting in Arusha, Tanzania, after the leaders received an initial report of the EAC Council of Ministers.
The meeting was attended by Presidents Mwai Kibaki of Kenya (Summit Chairman),Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, Jakaya Kikwete of Tanzania and Paul Kagame of Rwanda. Burundi's President Pierre Nkuruzinza was represented by his First Vice President Therence Sinunguruza.
The presidents expressed concern on the ongoing conflict between the newly independent Southern Sudan and Republic of Sudan and urged leaders of the two countries to return to the negotiating table for a peaceful resolution said Dr Richard Sezibera, EAC Secretary General, in the communiqué read at the close of the meeting.
The EAC in the communiqué, a copy of which has been availed to EANA, also appreciated the role the EAC Partner States have played in resolving the conflict in the two Sudans and asserted further commitment in assisting to solve disputes bordering the region's countries through peaceful means.
The Presidents in another milestone decision has directed for the extension of the jurisdiction of the EA Court of Justice to cover, among other crimes against humanity.
It has ordered for the Amendment of the Treaty establishing the EACJ and the EAC Council of Ministers to consider the matter before the end of next month and report to an extra-ordinary Summit to be convened immediately after that.
The EACJ's extension of jurisdiction comes up suddenly following pressure pile up in Kenya not to allow four top personalities to be tried before the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands for the December 2007 post-election violence in Kenya, which left about 1,500 killed and 3,500 injured and up to 600, 000 forcibly displaced. During 60 days of violence, there were hundreds of rapes, possibly more, and over 100, 000 properties were destroyed in six of Kenya's eight provinces.
The Summit commended the exemplary role played by Uganda's Ms Beatrice Kiraso, the outgoing EAC Deputy Secretary General in Charge of Political Federation, during the past six years.
The 43-year-old-Jessica Eriyo, sometimes spelled Jesca Eriyo, has been appointed as a replacement for Ms Kiraso, who according to EANA sources, is heading to join the United Nations as a Head of UN Mission for East and Southern Africa in Lusaka, Zambia.
Ms Eriyo is a Ugandan educator, social worker and politician. She served as the State Minister for the Environment in the Ugandan Cabinet, from 2006 until 2011.In the cabinet reshuffle of 27 May 2011, she was dropped from the cabinet and was replaced by Flavia Munaaba.
She also served as the elected Member of Parliament representing Adjumani District Women's Constituency, from 2001 until 2011. In the 2011 national elections, she lost to Jesca Ababiku, an Independent candidate, who is the incumbent MP.
As it was largely expected, the Summit has renewed contract for the last and final three years of a Deputy Secretary General (In charge of Productive and Social Sectors) Jean-Claude Nsengivumva from Burundi.
The appointment of new Deputy Secretary General will see shake up in the duties assigned to four deputy secretaries general next week.
The Summit has adopted in principle the destination model of clearance of goods where assessment and collection of revenue is at the first point of entry and revenues are remitted to the destination partner states subject to the fulfillment of key pre-conditions to be developed by the high level task force. The Summit directed the council to initiate its operationalization and report progress at November Summit.
The EA Presidents signed the Protocol on the regional co-operation in defense. The Protocol should be ratified and instruments of ratification deposited with the EAC Secretary General by 30th November 2012 and that the negotiations on the mutual defence pact commence to immediately thereafter.
The Protocol upgrades the co-operation in defence matters from the current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The Presidents were expected to leave for their respective homes today evening.

- "Where would we be if I was calm like you?"
- ―Mikhail Faustin.
- "Let me guess. In a prison camp in Siberia, or selling hash to tourists in Red Square, or still in the Navy. Which is it today?"
- ―Dimitri Rascalov.
Do You Have Protection? is the first mission given from Mikhail Faustin. However, the person who is assisting you in the mission is Faustin's best friend and second-in-command of the Russian Mafia, Dimitri Rascalov. This is the mission where Dimitri introduces back-alley gun shops and organized crime to Niko.
Mikhail Faustin gets control over all money in Hove Beach, but one video maker (Joseph) refuses to pay Faustin. Dimitri Rascalov and Niko Bellic go over to the sex shop ("The Peep Hole") in Hove Beach and beat up Joseph's buddies, taking the money as well (for Faustin). Dimitri introduces Niko to the gun shop and to organized crime.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Take Dimitri to the sex shop on Delware Avenue
- Enter the shop
- Target Joseph to intimidate him
- Target Joseph's buddy
- Shoot Joseph's buddy in the leg
- Follow Dimitri out of the shop
- Go with Dimitri to the gun store
- Head into the gun store
- Purchase a Micro-SMG
- Get back to Dimitri
- Take Dimitri to Faustin's house
Once the cutscene closes, you should be outside with Dimitri. Get in a car with Dimitri. Drive him to the "porn" shop in Hove Beach. On the way, Dimitri will explain that Faustin does not receive a cut of the money of a porn video that Joseph and his buddies are working on. Faustin wants Bellic and Rascalov to take out Joseph and his buddies and steal their cut.
Go down the stairs and watch the cutscene. After the cutscene, target Joseph with the new pistol Dimitri lent you. After their talk, move left and target one of Joseph's buddies. Shoot him in the leg to show Joseph that Dimitri means business. Joseph walks up to Rascalov, gives him the cut, then Dimitri knocks out Joseph.
If you want, shoot the last guy that kneels on the floor and begs for forgiveness. Either way, lead Dimitri out of the shop and back into the car. Drive to the Gun Shop in Downtown Broker. Buy a Micro-SMG. Niko won't be charged for the purchase, it will come out of Mikhail Faustin's credit card.
Drive Dimitri back to Faustin's mansion in Beachgate, Broker and collect a small earning for a good job.
Video Walkthrough
- Joseph Kaplan (optional) - Can be killed by Niko after Dimitri knocks him out.
- Brett (optional) - Can be killed by Niko.
- One of Joseph's associates (optional) - Can be killed by Niko.
Story continuation
Before completion, Dimitri will ask for you to visit Mr. Faustin at his club, Parestoika. Little Jacob will call text you and ask for you to help Badman.
- Use of gun shops
- Micro-SMG
- $400
- Joseph's shop is open at all times, before the mission and after. It has a wide selection of magazine covers and several TV monitors, all of which have sexy images. A player character can't buy anything, but can hide from the cops at a one-star wanted level (although a cop may wander in after a few minutes). If the player attacks or threatens anyone, cops will come quickly. They will also be quick to search the shop at a wanted level of two stars or more. The dildos on the shelf inside the shop when you first enter can be freely picked up and thrown. So you can get a dildo as a weapon technically.
- If you walk into the person who is pleading after Dimitri leaves the shop, he will die immediately. The reason for this is unknown.
- Dimitri instructs Niko to walk into the gun shop and purchase a Micro-SMG, and to tell the store attendant to charge it to Dimitri. It shows negative money as if the gun is being charged to Niko, but his money isn't actually spent.
- The missions title refers to condoms.

WASHINGTON – Two Maryland lawmakers are pushing legislation that would require every person riding in a car to wear a seat belt.
While all drivers in the area are required to buckle up, Virginia and Maryland do not currently require passengers in the back seat to wear seat belts. D.C. does require all passengers to buckle up.
Maryland delegates Sam Arora, D-Montgomery County, and C.T. Wilson, D-Charles County, say their bill would save 30 lives every year in Maryland, prevent hundreds of injuries and raise more than $30 million in revenue in the coming years.

The projects below are the most significant solar cooking projects worldwide. These projects were selected either because they impact a significant number of people, show new strategies for solar cooking promotion, or illustrate new ways solar cooking is being used for income generation. They illustrate how solar cooking helps in achieving the eight United Nations Millennium Development Goals.
- The Solar Cooker Project helps to improve the lives of Darfur refugees living in Chad - More than 50,000 people in four Darfur refugee camps in Eastern Chad are using locally made solar CooKits designed by Solar Cookers International. The project is run by Tchad Solaire and by the British NGO CORD. It is funded by Jewish World Watch and the Kozon Foundation. The project has improved the safety and survival of the women in the refugee camps. Previously, they were faced with dangerous and arduous trips outside the camps to collect scarce firewood. Two of the most extensive projects are at the Touloum Refugee Camp and the Iridimi Refugee Camp.
- Long term investment in Madagascar has created a thriving solar cooking enterprise- The team of the Swiss ADES Foundation (ADES) started its solar cooking program in Madagascar in 2001. Since they began their program, they have taught the people of Madagascar to build and use more than 50,000 solar cookers, reducing local wood consumption by 65%. Read more detail about ADES' program.
- Solar cooking "Avon Ladies" in Zambia - The Solar Health and Education Project (SHEP) began in 2007 to fund solar cooking workshops in rural areas of Zambia. The team, with direction from Alison Curtis, developed a system to appoint a local leader at the workshop to follow-up with a group of participants to help and encourage using the new cookers. As of 2012, the solar team has ten excellent leaders who take turns spreading the solar news by setting up at shows, events, museum gatherings, school playgrounds, and clinics. Read more about SHEP leadership training.
- Solar Circle uses barter system to distribute 3000 solar cookers in Tanzania - The NGO Solar Circle has learned from their solar cooking program in Masasi, southern Tanzania that people will work hard to earn a solar cooker. The group has created a bartering system with community leaders. The community chooses a service project and the beneficiaries organize and oversee the effort. Participants earn an solar oven for their involvement. So far, the program has distributed more than 3000 solar ovens, and built 40 houses for people who are sick, elderly, widowed, or disabled. Read more about how the barter system is organized.
- Johannesburg-based NGO has aggressively promoted integrated cooking in South Africa and Somalia - SunFire Solutions, based in South Africa, has done more with its publicity campaign than any other solar cooking NGO to raise the profile of integrated cooking by introducing solar cookers, retained heat cookers and fuel-efficient woodstoves across southern Africa. Read more about their projects.
- Institutional solar cooking is gaining momentum in India - The world's largest solar cooking system, designed by Gadhia Solar Energy Systems Pvt. Ltd., is functioning at the Shirdi temple, where a solar cooked lunch is served to over 50,000 people per day. The solar steam cooking system is comprised of seventy-three rooftop-mounted Scheffler reflectors of sixteen square meters each. The dishes concentrate sunlight on receivers that contain water, generating steam that is piped down to the kitchen for cooking purposes. Read more about the Shirdi project.
- Indian government makes major investment to teach solar cooking in schools - Ajay Chandak reports that included in the Indian government's five-year plan for 2012 through 2016, 30,000 million INR (approx. $600,000,000USD) is budgeted for solar cooking instruction in 500,000 schools. This will not only help in saving the environment, but it will expose millions and millions of school children to solar cooking and build the confidence that these systems work. Read more about the event...
- Large-scale use of solar cookers in northwestern China shows promise - Solar Household Energy has tracked the Chinese government's efforts to reduce carbon emissions in the region, because in rural China the predominant fuel for cooking and heating is usually coal. The government has recently utilized the carbon credit trading program of the Clean Development Mechanism. The results have proven to support a profitable business model. At this point, it is estimated over two million people are benefiting from receiving and using 500,000 parabolic solar cookers. CDM project specifics.
- 30,000 parabolic solar cookers distributed in Indonesia to reduce kerosene consumption - Jakarta Indonesia officials plan to reduce kerosene consumption with the solar cookers as part of a Clean Development Mechanism project, with help from the German company EnerXi GMbh. Jakarta consumes about 2.7 million liters of kerosene a day. A family using one liter of kerosene per day emits two tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) each year. Through CDM projects, developing countries can earn Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) based on the resulting amount of CO2 reduction. Read more about the kerosene reduction project.
Latin America
- Bolivia and Peru have benefitted from successful solar cooking programs - The French NGO, Bolivia Inti-Sud Soleil and Bolivian NGO CEDESOL (working with Bolivian company Sobre la Roca, which produces solar cookers and high efficiency biomass stoves) have together trained thousands of Bolivians and Peruvians to build and use sturdy solar box cookers and fuel-efficient woodstoves. Bolivia Inti-Sud reports they have distributed more than 20,000 ecological appliances since 2000. See Bolivia Inti-Sud Soleil projects
- The HotPot solar cooker introduction in Mexico - Solar Household Energy (SHE), spent several years developing a solar panel cooker called the HotPot, a variation on Solar Cookers International's cooker, the CooKit. In 2003 SHE received a grant from the World Bank's Development Marketplace to mount a HotPot promotion project in Mexico working with the Mexican nature conservancy, Fondo Mexicano para la Conservacion de la Naturaleza (FMCN). By July 2004, 2,000 HotPots had been manufactured and trucked to eight local conservation NGOs that had agreed to participate in the HotPot distribution initiative. Solar Household Energy may be the global leader in promoting solar cooking. The history of the HotPot project.
- The World Central Kitchen has taken a comprehensive approach to helping the citizens of Haiti - The World Central Kitchen, founded by internationally known chef José Andrés, has proposed and been implementing a sustainable solution to food shortages in Haiti. Their mission is to promote local food production and purchasing, educating the public about solar cooking and the integrated cooking method, and using these new skills to create opportunities for local income generation. Learn more about the World Central Kitchen.
- Solar restaurant in Chile has produced profits - The Delicias del Sol restaurant, known for serving excellent food, has become a tourist destination for the village of Villaseca, Chile. Begun in 2000 with an initial seating capacity of sixteen, the solar restaurant now seats 120. The dry central valley area receives over 300 days of sunshine a year, and like similar areas, traditional fuel sources are becoming ever more scarce and expensive. The tourists enjoy viewing the solar kitchen at work. Visit the Delicias del Sol restaurant.

|49904.2 (2372)
Following a hit and run attack on Deep Space 9 by a band of rogue Jem'Hadar, Sisko and his crew are joined by the Dominion on a mission to locate the rebels who have discovered another Iconian Gateway.
- "Captain's log, stardate 49904.2. After driving away Breen privateers from the Bajoran colony of Free Haven we are returning to Deep Space 9."
Dax and Chief O'Brien are sitting in the mess hall aboard the USS Defiant discussing Molly's habit of coming to sleep in bed with her parents as Dr. Bashir gets a drink and approaches. Unknowingly, Bashir sits in Commander Worf's favorite chair, and when advised to choose a different seat by Dax and O'Brien, chooses to remain in the chair. Worf then enters the mess hall, gets an extra-large prune juice from the replicator, and walks towards his favorite chair. Bashir quickly stands up and gives the chair to the commander, but then all senior staff are called to bridge by Captain Sisko, where they find out that Deep Space 9 has been attacked and an upper pylon has been destroyed.
On the attacked portion of the station, Quark is looking for his brother Rom, and finds out that he is fine and working with the damage control teams headed by Kira Nerys. Odo then reports that a Jem'Hadar strike team beamed in from a civilian transport, set off a bomb in upper pylon 3, and stole some items from the science labs, all before the station could respond. About fifty people were killed, with many more injured. They left only forty-five minutes ago, so Sisko decides to follow their ion trail through the wormhole with the Defiant. Bashir stays behind to assist the wounded, but the rest of the crew remains with Sisko.
Act One
The Jem'Hadar used a magneton pulse to hide their trail, and the Defiant has trouble locating them, but stumbles upon a badly-damaged Jem'Hadar attack ship on the verge of exploding. Sisko has the surviving crew beamed aboard the Defiant without their weapons, which consists of six Jem'Hadar soldiers and their Vorta commander, Weyoun, who orders his men to stand down and asks for a word in private with Sisko.
In the Defiant's mess hall, Weyoun says that their ship was attacked by the same Jem'Hadar who attacked Deep Space 9. These Jem'Hadar are renegades, and Weyoun has been tasked with eliminating them, but he needs Sisko's help. Sisko is disbelieving, saying that the Dominion could send a fleet of warships to eliminate the renegades, but Weyoun says they don't have the time. Several months ago, a Dominion science team discovered the remains of an Iconian gateway on a remote outpost world, Vandros IV. Unfortunately, the science team's Jem'Hadar guards rebelled and seized control of the gateway. Weyoun guesses that the equipment stolen from Deep Space 9 could be used to repair the gateway – which, if made operational, could enable the renegades to teleport, instantaneously, to any world or solar system in the galaxy. Dominion experts have already predicted that if the renegades convince the rest of the Jem'Hadar to revolt, they could take over the entire Dominion in less than a year.
Though moved, Sisko claims that that isn't his problem, but Weyoun begs to differ: if the Jem'Hadar seize control of the Dominion, they will almost certainly declare war on the Federation, and with the gateway, they could invade any Alpha Quadrant world at will, even if the wormhole were shut down. Sisko is shaken, but still not entirely convinced. He asks why the Founders cannot simply order the renegades to stand down – since, after all, obedience to the Founders has been genetically hard-wired into the Jem'Hadar's make-up. Weyoun, shifting uneasily, admits that the degree of the Founders' control over the Jem'Hadar has been "somewhat overstated," but insists that the Dominion is, and will always be, stable. Sisko, after considering the threat the gateway poses to both their sides, agrees to help Weyoun destroy it and the rebel Jem'Hadar.
Act Two
Aboard the bridge, Sisko informs his staff about their mission. Worf interjects that he was part of the away team from the Enterprise that discovered the Iconian homeworld in the Romulan Neutral Zone and was forced to destroy the gateway they found there to keep it out of the hands of the Romulans – so Worf fully appreciates the danger the gateway poses. Dax and O'Brien expresses some unease about working with Weyoun's Jem'Hadar, especially since they are as likely to revolt if they learn about the gateway, which could help liberate their entire race. For that reason, Sisko warns, they have to keep it a secret from them.
In his quarters, Sisko summons First Omet'iklan, the Jem'Hadar commander. Omet'iklan makes no secret of his contempt for the Federation, but agrees that that dislike is trumped by his duty to punish the renegades. Sisko makes clear that, for the duration of the mission, Omet'iklan and his men are under his command, not Weyoun's. Omet'iklan appears to accept this, but adds, ominously, that after the mission is completed, "we shall see."
There is a joint briefing in the mess hall. Since the ziggurat that the renegades are using as a base (where the gateway is housed) is composed of solid neutronium, it cannot be destroyed from orbit with quantum torpedoes, which means they have to do it "the hard way," with a ground assault. Omet'iklan reports the number of the renegades as around 150, and several of the Starfleet officers remark that they don't like the odds. When Worf remarks that silencing all nine guards outside the ziggurat before one of them raises the alarm will be difficult, the Jem'Hadar Second, Toman'torax, taunts him that the much-touted Klingon bravery is a sham, and he will look forward to the day when the Dominion invades the Klingon Empire and massacres its people. Worf launches himself at the Jem'Hadar, but the two are pulled apart by Sisko and Omet'iklan.
Act Three
During a simulated assault, a Defiant crew storms into a chamber of their "objective", neutralizes two Jem'Hadar guards, but hesitates, knowing there must be a third somewhere. Then the lights blink on, signifying that, had that been real, the room's auto-defense systems would have engaged and vaporized them all. Omet'iklan, watching from above, say they should have detonated the explosives then and there to ensure success. He, Sisko, and Weyoun enter a turbolift, Omet'iklan insisting that their mission cannot succeed as long as the Federation's officers value their lives over success. Sisko disagrees, saying that a healthy fear of death does wonders for keeping officers on their toes. Omet'iklan recommends that the Jem'Hadar train in mixed teams with the Defiant's crew, but Weyoun starts to overrule him (concerned for the secrecy of their objective). Omet'iklan interrupts, informing Weyoun that he and his men know all about the gateway. Weyoun may believe that the Jem'Hadar's loyalty is bought with deceptions and "the white," but the truth is that their loyalty to the Founders is inherent, unwavering, and stronger than the Vorta's ever will be. If the renegades disagree with this, then they deserve death. Sisko agrees that mixed teams will be used, but makes clear that he does not intend for this to be a suicide mission.
A short time later, Dax is put off by a Jem'Hadar, Virak'kara, assigned to her squad, who has been staring at her for hours on end, trying to learn more about her "patterns." Conversing with him, Dax learns some new (and unsettling) facts about the Jem'Hadar's way of life:
- They are bred in "birthing chambers" (and for that reason, their species has no females) and their growth cycle is such that they reach maturity and are ready to fight within three days;
- They do not sleep, eat, or engage in any kind of recreational activity; and
- Because of the frequency with which they are deployed in battle, their lifespans are extremely short; no Jem'Hadar has ever reached the age of thirty, and those that reach age twenty are considered "Honored Elders"; Virak'kara himself is only eight, and appears stunned when Dax casually mentions that she's over three hundred.
She shares these findings with Worf and O'Brien over a meal, and they are further disturbed to witness another one: Weyoun is eating by himself in a corner, when the Jem'Hadar enter with his white dispenser and he grudgingly interrupts his meal to unlock it and pass out their next dosage.
After this is done, Toman'torax swaggers over to the officers' table and threatens O'Brien, starting a fight with Worf. Sisko and Omet'iklan break up the fight, again. Both Worf and Toman'torax admit to starting the fight, with the Second admitting that he has failed to obey orders. Omet'iklan punishes him by snapping his neck. He is then amazed, and outraged, when Sisko punishes Worf by confining him to his quarters while not on duty. Omet'iklan says that Sisko is weak, that Sisko should have died in the place of Toman'torax, and that when the mission is over, Omet'iklan will make sure that he does.
Act Four
Weyoun confronts Odo in a hall and tells him that his people still love him, and that they want him back. Odo says that he does not love them back, and that he does not want to return.
As the Defiant approaches Vandros IV, O'Brien is recording a farewell message for his wife and daughter. He confides to Dax that it is the eleventh time he has done so, and every time he does, he is afraid that it will be the message they end up hearing. Dax assures him that her many years of experience tell her that he will die of extreme old age, peacefully in bed, and surrounded by loving friends and relatives. Then she adds that she will file his farewell message along with the one she has recorded to her mother, "just in case."
Before going to his quarters as ordered, Worf approaches Sisko and warns him to stay on the ship during the battle, so Omet'iklan cannot make good on his threat to murder him. Sisko declines, and Worf tells the captain to be watchful, "reassuring" him that, even if Omet'iklan succeeds in killing Sisko, Worf will make sure he does not live to brag about it.
As the Defiant is approaching the planet, O'Brien hands out phaser rifles to the crew and the Jem'Hadar. Sisko tells the strike force to prepare to beam down, but Omet'iklan tells him to wait, and intones a Jem'Hadar battle chant, ending, "Remember: victory is life."
On the planet, the teams are approaching the ziggurat, when Omet'iklan angrily whispers that they have been betrayed, their weapons have been sabotaged. The Defiant officers check their weapons, and also find them non-functional. Dax theorizes that the gateway is generating some kind of dampening field. At that moment, several Jem'Hadar materialize and ambush the crew with melee weapons.
Act Five
The team overpowers the Jem'Hadar, losing two Defiant crewmen in the process. Omet'iklan guesses that, without energy weapons or the element of surprise, Sisko will abort the mission. Sisko says, "Guess again!", picks up a kar'takin, and leads the team towards the ziggurat.
The teams storm into the ziggurat, killing several of the renegades, until O'Brien, Sisko, and Omet'iklan reach the chamber where the gateway is. After they kill the two Jem'Hadar on guard, O'Brien starts to set the explosives (which have a chemical backup detonator unaffected by the gateway's interference).
Sisko notices a decloaking Jem'Hadar lunging at Omet'iklan and pushes him out of the way, receiving a wound in his arm for his trouble. Omet'iklan is stunned that Sisko would risk his life to save his, even after being threatened. They all exit the ziggurat and make their way to a safe distance by the time the bombs explode.
With the gateway destroyed, their phasers are functional again. Weyoun beams down and offers his congratulations to everyone, and asks to inspect the remains. Instead, Omet'iklan turns his rifle on the Vorta and vaporizes him, as punishment for doubting the Jem'Hadar's loyalty.
There is a tense moment, as the Defiant crew and the Jem'Hadar stand off against each other, but Omet'iklan lowers his weapon, saying that there has been enough killing for one day. He announces that he and his men will stay on the planet to hunt down and kill the remaining renegades. Sisko wishes him luck, but Omet'iklan warns him that, though they fought well together, they will be enemies the next time they meet. With that, the Jem'Hadar cloak and vanish.
The Starfleet officers beam aboard the Defiant and return to Deep Space 9.

Background Information
- This episode was filmed after "The Quickening" but it aired the week before.
- According to Robert Hewitt Wolfe, "To the Death" was written specifically to give the Jem'Hadar more depth; "our intention was to show that the more you learn about them, the less you want to be around them. If you meet the Borg on a one-on-one basis, they're kind of cuddly, and when you get to know the Klingons, they're not so scary anymore. But the Jem'Hadar, when you really get to know them, are damn scary guys." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- This episode featured the second Iconian gateway after its introduction in TNG: "Contagion". Some of the places shown in the Iconian gateways are Starfleet Command, Paris, Earth, and Bajor.
- This episode marks the first appearance of Weyoun (Jeffrey Combs) in the series. Of the character, Combs says, "Weyoun is the snake of the universe. He's the smiling car salesman who'll tell you anything to make you feel as if you're the most important thing in his life just to get you to buy his product." Combs claims he based the performance on a scene in Stanley Kubrick's 1975 film Barry Lyndon where two characters are being really formal and nice to one another, showing perfect etiquette, but under the surface, it is obvious they despise each other. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- The character of Weyoun was written to be a one-show character, but the producers were so impressed with Combs, and the character got such a strong reaction from the fans, that they decided to bring him back in season 5, inventing the concept that the Vorta routinely clone themselves to explain it. According to Ira Steven Behr, "[in] multitalented Jeffrey Combs, we finally had a Vorta who sold the Vorta." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- According to the script, when Weyoun "claps" Odo on the shoulder, he infected him with the virus that presents itself in "Broken Link" and necessitates his return to the Great Link (although the way the scene is filmed it does not allow the "clap" to be seen on screen). [1] This means that as of this point, Odo is infected with two viruses, one by Starfleet and one by the Founders. One may assume the Starfleet virus was dormant during Odo's return to the Great Link at the end of the season.
- This episode is the first ever Star Trek show to be cut for violence. According to Ira Steven Behr, forty-five seconds of hand-to-hand combat was cut prior to the episode being screened. This displeased Behr a great deal; "that really hurt the show. We built up to this battle and now it's just perfunctory. The fans who wrote letters on the internet saw that the rhythms were thrown off." Similarly unimpressed was stunt coordinator Dennis Madalone; "in the first edited version, fifty-two Jem'Hadar had been killed. Dax had killed ten and Sisko had killed seven. But when the censors got hold of it, they took out over thirty-two Jem'Hadar deaths." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion) The BBFC added a further five seconds of picture and sound censoring and rated the episode 15.
- The outdoor material for this episode was shot in Griffith Park's bird sanctuary.
- This is the first appearance of the Vorta since "The Search, Part II", the second episode of the third season.
- Jeffrey Combs (Weyoun) and Brian Thompson (Toman'torax) later appeared in ENT: "Babel One", "United", and "The Aenar" together, playing Commander Shran and Admiral Valdore respectively.
- Cirroc Lofton (Jake Sisko) does not appear in this episode.

Many of us who live with HIV are alive today in part because we received effective treatment to clear our hepatitis C (HCV) co-infections. Interferon-boosted Ribavirin was a lifesaver, but the interferon side effects could be rugged.
MedPage Today reports that a triple-drug regimen without interferon has been found in a small study to be highly effective in clearing even treatment-resistant HCV genotype 1. FDA approval for clinical use is still a long way off, but we look forward to a future of effective HCV treatment without interferon.

Video: Lawmakers Hold Last Minute Negotiation To Avoid Default
WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate leaders are optimistic about forging an eleventh-hour deal preventing a possible federal default and ending the partial government shutdown.
It's just hours from Thursday, the day the Obama administration has warned it will run out of borrowing authority and face the risk of a federal default that could shake the world economy.
Aides to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell say the two men were negotiating and expressed optimism that they could conclude a deal reopening the government and preventing default.
The Senate leaders' talks were continuing Wednesday after an extraordinary day in the House. On Tuesday, House Speaker John Boehner (BAY'-nur) produced two bills to end the shutdown and avoid a default but couldn't find enough GOP support to bring them up for votes.

Married couples have been urged to avoid acquiring loans by using family properties secretly as collateral because the move has far reaching consequences to children in case loans are not paid accordingly.
The Tanzania Media Women Association (Tamwa) said in a statement yesterday that couples need to inform each other and their respective family members, including children, in case they decide to take loans which involve presenting houses and other properties as collateral for taking loans so that when the borrower dies or fails to pay, families could follow up effectively to save loosing family assets.
"The current trend in the country shows that some married people, women or men, take loans secretly from banks and other financial facilities without informing their husbands, wives and children even if their children are grown up," the statement read in part.
As a result, it said, family properties presented as collateral get sold through court processes after the borrower fail to repay the loans accordingly.
"This leads to family problems, including subjecting children to homeless and denying them other basic needs," it added.
"Tamwa is concerned with this matter because over the last six months, it has attended 12 cases of women complaining of their families suffering as a result of loosing properties after their husbands engaged in mortgaging family properties secretary to acquire loans," it said.

Each individual's calorie and protein requirements will vary depending on a number of factors, such as age, gender, body weight, and activity level. The current recommended daily allowance for protein for most adults is 46 to 56 grams per day. It is important to discuss your individual calorie and protein needs with your healthcare provider or registered dietitian. With some cancers, the metabolic processes can cause a situation known as hypermetabolism that affects how the body uses proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. With hypermetabolism you may need to increase your calorie and protein intake. Discuss this with your healthcare provider or registered dietitian.
Listed below are some suggestions for adding calories and protein to your meals and snacks:
Add butter or margarine (30 calories per teaspoon) to puddings, casseroles, sandwiches, vegetables, cooked cereal, breads, and pasta.

Hot cereals
Meat dishes, cookie batter, and casseroles
Add mayonnaise or salad dressing (35 calories per teaspoon) liberally to sandwiches, salads, and as a dip for raw vegetables or sauce on cooked vegetables.
Add evaporated milk (25 calories and 1 gram protein per tablespoon) in place of whole milk in desserts, baked goods, meat dishes, and cooked cereal. This can be added to most foods without drastically changing their flavor.
Add sour cream (26 calories per tablespoon) to:
Potatoes, casseroles, and dips
Sauces and baked goods
Add sweetened condensed milk (60 calories and 1 gram protein per tablespoon) to:
Pies, puddings, and milkshakes
1 to 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, and spread on toast

BEACHWOOD -- The Justice for Aliza campaign invites all women to join them at noon Sunday (July 28) for a Self-Defense Class in honor of Aliza Sherman, whose life was tragically cut short after she was brutally murdered in downtown Cleveland.
The class is intended to promote safety for women in the community. The training will provide women with the necessary tools to protect themselves and to prevent a tragedy like this from happening in the future.
The class will be taught by Master Gary Yano, 8th Degree Black Belt and State of Ohio Police Defense Certified Instructor, in conjunction with Partners To Empowerment Wellness Center.
The Self-Defense Class will be held in the Fairmount-Richmond Room at the Beachwood Community Center, 25325 Fairmount Boulevard in Beachwood.
Participants are asked to wear their JUSTICE FOR ALIZA t-shirts to the class. Individuals who do not yet have a JUSTICE FOR ALIZA t-shirt are asked to arrive at 11:50 a.m. to obtain a t-shirt.
Aliza Sherman firmly believed that all women have the right to feel safe and know how to protect themselves; therefore there will be no charge for this event.

Awesome deck, had a blast playing against it. As soon as I saw Miffyre + KP + Armadillo, I knew it will be glorious battle, one that I won't mind losing. And boy, was I right or was I right? Together we generated more SP than 2 regular games together. And yes, I know you hated Guardian Sphinx revive (I'll tell it once again: change should have been 1sp -> 1 unit), but now you know how it feels to play against return.
This is my deck, so you can imagine it was real clash of titans (5+ SP available to both sides at all times, fun times ).

|This article concerns a game that is unreleased.
Some details may be speculative, and may turn out to be incorrect.
The Felon (unofficially named) is a high performance executive saloon/ sedan, first appearing in GTA V.
This car features a front end based off a mix of the design of a second generation Saab 9-5 and facelifted Jaguar XFR. The front bumper features three intakes, the central intake being the least tall of the three, occupying half the width of the front bumper. Either side of this intake, there are two taller, chrome-trimmed intakes, with upper edges that are parallel to the lower edge of the headlamp units. Above the central intake there is a large, chrome-trimmed main grille with a curved lower edge and staright top edge, with a manufacturer emblem inset. Beginning from half the grille height there are chrome-edged headlamp units with a curved lower edge and a flat top edge. These hedlamp units feature two circular lamps closest to the centre, and a turn indicator lamp, furthest on the outside. The car features a long bonnet/ hood with two levels of elevation. The first signified by the line from the corner of the grille to its respective corner of the windscreen. The second level of elevation is inset centrally on the first.
The sides of the car significantly resemble a fifth generation Maserati Quattroporte. The sides are formed mainly from a range of smooth, elegant curves. The wheel arches are flared, creating a more muscular appearance. Behind the long front quarter area the main body is smooth, with the only extra formation being a tall, thin duct behind the front wheel arch. The greenhouse area features small body-coloured wing mirrors (mounted on the window area, near the base of the A-pillars, chrome-trimmed windows and door handles. The B-pillars are neither chrome-trimmed nor body coloured. The rear wheel arch features a more prominent bulge than the front. Above, a long, elegant C-pillar can be seen, clearly illustrating the luxurious element of the car's design. By default the car features eight-spoke wheels with split edges connecting the spokes to the lip of the wheel. The wheels are wrapped in low-profile tyres.
The car draws on more XFR design elements and features rear lamp units that are dominantly red, which partly have the horizontal chrome trim inset. The horizontal trim also forms the top edge for the impressed license plate area. Beneath these there is a rear bumper that protrudes from the main body in two levels, with the lower half having more elevation. The base of the bumper features a polymer covered area which spans the entire width and housing two twin-tipped exhaust tips at either edge.
The car features large, cross-drilled brake discs.

Race Report - Jared Mees - Springfield 2012
NEWS June 8, 2012
Springfield IL – TT – 26 May 2012
Here we were back at it in full swing in Springfield, two and a half months after Daytona. Last year we had an amazing weekend, first winning the Mile and placing 2nd in the TT. I knew that matching those results would not be easy. It was the hottest I have ever been in Springfield... record temperatures added to the mix.
The TT started out decently... I never seem to qualify the greatest but at least was in the front row for my Heat. I was able to pass Mikey Martin in the right-hander, but he tried to make a re-pass on me, ramming right into the back of PJ Jacobsen, taking out PJ and himself, and knocking me to the ground as well. The red flag came out and I had to line up at the back of the field, since I had been involved. I got back going again and was making some decent passes and another flag came out. I was in mid-pack. We re-started again and J.R. Schnabel went down really hard, moving me up a spot. After we got going again, I was able to come up through the field into 2nd and a lap later took the lead and won my Heat race. Man, it was a burner, coming up through the pack like that was really tough!
Next up was the Dash for Cash. I grabbed a second place start and was on tow to Henry Wiles. In turn One I was going to try to go under him, but there was no room so I had to check up and just about went over the handlebars because of how deep I was. I lost a spot to Jake Johnson and stayed there for the rest of the race.
In the Main Event I was 3rd off the pole. Wiles got a great jump and Johnson and I were side by side. I got the advantage going right but he stuck it in there on the next left turn and I basically rode his rear wheel for the rest of the race, unable to pass. Wiles checked out and I ended up in 3rd Place. Not a bad night but I really wanted to get a win here to add to my GNC wins!
Springfield Mile - 27 May 2012
Next up: The first Twins race of the year. I qualified, I believe, 11th and was in the 2nd Heat race. I got the hole shot and was leading it for a while until Willie McCoy and Brandon Robinson came into the game. We played the normal cat and mouse back and forth for a while and then on the last lap I slid under Robinson, towing off of McCoy, and was able to get 2nd , which qualified me for the Dash for Cash.
In the Dash I came out right behind Kenny Coolbeth and went by him early on. Then came the Kawasaki of Bryan Smith who had a rocket-ship bike and was darn near impossible to draft. I lost a spot to Johnson and held onto 3rd. We then made a few minor adjustments for the Main, nothing too big.
In the Main Event, Smith got the hole shot and was leading but a red flag came out. It was a pretty big crash involving Robinson, Nichole Cheza, Sammy Halbert and Robbie Pearson. Nichole and Sammy were hurt and were unable to make the re-start. Later I learned that Nichole had two broken vertebrae and was very sore, and that Sammy had a hurt shoulder and concussion. Hopefully they both recover in time to make it back for Lima. On the re-start I nailed the start and was leading. John Lewis and Johnson came up and we were dicing it up. And then came Bryan Smith. We all towed behind Smith for most of the race until McCoy and Coolbeth came into the mix and we were all dicing behind Smith. I was the last guy of the lead pack and then something happened with Lewis and Coolbeth and they slipped up the track, allowing me to get by them, running 4th. I finished 4th with McCoy winning his second Springfield Mile in a row.
Congratulations go out to Willie.
We made some great points, and now sit 14 points ahead of Matt Weidman in Combined GNC points.
Dairyland Classic – Plymouth WI – 1 June 2012
This place has been great for me the last few years. Coming into 2012 I had won it three years in a row.
I had the same setup as in the past. The track was in great shape and it was very chilly... quite a change from Springfield. I was fast qualifier, sitting on the pole. I got the hole shot in the Heat and took the lead on lap one, winning it. I got to pick my spot on the line for the Main, so I picked the middle. I nailed the start and put in some good laps, winning my 4th Dairyland Classic in a row.
All Star – Calumet County Speedway – Chilton WI – 2 June 2012
This was a Steve Nace race at a new track for me. Before the race was to start it rained a lot but then the sun came out and the wind picked up so we went out quickly. In practice I struggled but once the Heat races came around I was good to go. I won my Scratch and Heat races and sat on the pole for the Main Event which I hole-shotted and won by a good length.
Thank you to my Team and supporters for making these last two weekends such a success. I have a weekend off and then will be racing the All Star races in Peoria, IL as a warm-up for the August GNC race.
Again, thank you all.

...more dates coming...
From Matador Records:
Fucked Up formed in Toronto in 2002, high-school friends influenced by first- and second-wave hardcore bands like Minor Threat and NOFX. It was instantly apparent that they were not carbon-copy punks. Their first 7" was entitled No Pasarán after an anti-fascist slogan from the Spanish Civil War. It was also ferociously melodic and inventive, setting the scene for a string of 25 singles over the next four years that combined political commentary with incredible musicianship and a sense of theater.
Known by bizarre aliases, Fucked Up employ creative methods of spreading information & misinformation, spurning MySpace and a band website in favor of Wikipedia and an oblique blog. Basic facts are constantly in flux. A guru-like manager named David Eliade shares the same last name as a controversial Romanian philosopher, and allegedly taught 10,000 Marbles how to garden. It is unclear how many of their 7"s have actually been released. Rumors about Fucked Up circulate like wildfire among their obsessive fans.
Some things nonetheless became clear during the course of the band's early existence. Their musical influences are varied and deep: singer Pink Eyes' record collection is one of the more noteworthy assemblages of independent vinyl in Canada. The band has a deep affection for twee English pop, while the live shows are theatrical events where it's not uncommon to find a half-naked, bleeding Pink Eyes prowling the audience. Fans caused thousands of dollars of damage at MTV Canada's studios during a performance of the appropriately titled "Baiting The Public." Attention follows Fucked Up like a sick puppy, whether from a midnight bridge concert at SXSW that turned into a police riot, or a split single with an allegedly fascist band that required clarification at a Toronto press conference.
In 2006 Fucked Up released their first album, Hidden World (Jade Tree), and they had clearly moved on from their frenetic early singles (collected on Epics In Minutes). The songs were stretched out, slower. Guest musicians played string intros and outros. Songs explored organized religion, rebirth, mysticism. Tibetan motifs in the artwork enhanced this newly mysterious direction. Still, despite new textures and layers, much of the music remained very much punk and hardcore in its massive riffage, its guitar-only breaks and, of course, Pink Eyes' gruff vocals. This was about to change.
In 2007 the band released an 18-minute single entitled "Year Of The Pig," an impassioned commentary on the plight of sex workers in Canada. Opening with female vocalist Jennifer Castle singing creepily about pigs being led to slaughter, guitars enter one by one, followed by Pink Eyes trading vocals with Castle as the song crescendos. Abruptly it slips into a fast, intricate breakdown more reminiscent of Neu! or Faust than anything punk. The effect is thrilling and disorienting this band could only come out of hardcore, but they are now making music like no hardcore band in history.
Fucked Up's new album, The Chemistry Of Common Life, synthesizes all these diverse impulses into an expansive epic about the mysteries of birth, death, and the origins of life (and re-living). Merging elements of hardcore songwriting with up to 70 tracks of guitars, organs, winds and vocals, (including 18 guitars on the first single, the fatalistic "No Epiphany"), the music remains iconoclastic and startling, with Pink Eyes' vocals front and center. Guest musicians, of course, abound, notably gorgeous female voices such as Brooklyn's Vivian Girls and Toronto's Katie Stelmanis.
The band remains contemptuous of churches and religion (opening track "Son The Father," with its refrain "It's hard enough being born in the first place: who would want to be born again?") while promoting an almost Buddhist mysticism ("Royal Swan"). But in the end the view is idiosyncratically scientific: amid soaring guitar chords, the title track pays homage to the random chemical processes that created life on this planet. Though Fucked Up remain punks at heart - if quixotically diverse ones - they have created a great, weird, heavy record that stubbornly sticks in your brain and your heart.

So! Did you enjoy day one of Mel's video journal? If you haven't already posted a comment, please do–we'd be so encouraged to hear from you!
Now, in putting together day two of the video journal we encountered some obstacles. Alas! We almost weren't able to show it to you! But anyway … God is good. We've salvaged what we could. And the stories can still come alive, to some extent. 😉
Mel will explain the situation to you from the bottom of her heart: 🙂
"While in India, we met some pretty amazing children — and Compassion staff for that matter. We heard some impressive stories, plenty that had the tears flowing (it's a weird thing to cry in front of your colleagues — not the sort of thing we've done in previous jobs!).
"Anyway, back to the stories … it's so sad that we cannot share them with you, but there is good reason.
"Last year in this part of the world, religious violence flared to a tragic point where innocent civilians died and our own Compassion-assisted children were caught up in it; some witnessing things they should never have seen.
"Christians around the world face persecution every day. Persecution that we in Australia and the U.S. (and many other places too — you are just our main readers of this blog!) could never imagine — even in our nightmares.
"We closed some of our child development centres for a time (it's always the kids who suffer from our decisions, isn't it?) and requested police protection when a Hindu leader died (they worried about retaliation towards them).
"And while things have settled down and our centres are back open again, there's still the potential for more trouble.
"Our wings have been clipped, and it shows in this video blog, which we edited at the eleventh hour to take out one of the most beautiful stories of a little girl that you could ever hear, to ensure it wouldn't cause any trouble abroad.
"And of course, that's the last thing we want to do, stop the life-changing work of Compassion so we could tell you one more story.
"Check out this great quote from Mark Hanlon, Senior Vice President for Compassion International's USA Group, in response to the violence last year: 'Compassion's greatest tool in the fight against poverty and its effects is an active, educated and engaged church that seeks to partner with us to change the lives of children and families. When the church is moved to action, the enormity of its power is felt throughout the world and that power is desperately needed right now for the children of India.'
"We couldn't agree more, and they still need it.
"If only we could tell you the stories, you'd be encouraged and so would we. But let your imaginations run wild, we beg you, because in these desperate places, a light is shining — brightly."
And now it's time for take two!

Join Jean Stern, Executive Director of the Irvine Museum and recognized authority on California Impressionism, for an engaging discussion of the premier paintings in the Museum's current exhibition, California Impressionism: Paintings from the Irvine Museum.
From the turn-of-the-century until the start of the Depression, painting in California was dominated by a remarkable artistic style that combined several distinctive aspects of American and European art. Commonly called California Impressionism or California Plein-Air Painting, this movement was concerned with the colors and the splendid light of the Golden State. Masterpieces of California Impressionism from the Irvine Museum, arguablly the most important collection of West Coast American Impressionism will be discussed. The Irvine Museum is the only museum in California dedicated to the preservation and display of California Impressionism.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to meet one of the most renowned authorities on the California Plein-Air movement!
