The White House won't comment on a possible ground invasion of the Gaza Strip by Israel. But spokesman Gordon Johndroe says Israel has a right to defend itself from rocket attacks from Hamas, and says the militant group must stop firing its missiles.
Johndroe says Israel needs to avoid civilian casualties, and that humanitarian aid into Gaza should continue.
Johndroe says President-elect Barack Obama is receiving the same intelligence reports on the Gaza violence as is President George W. Bush. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has spoken to Obama about the situation at least once in the last week.
Rice says the United States and key world allies are pushing hard for a "durable and sustainable" cease-fire in Gaza, but that there is no end in sight to the violence. The top U.S. diplomat says she's not planning an emergency visit to the region.

If you really want to improve the status of women, you have to work with men through education about their responsibilities. Correspondent GEORGE NYEMBELA reports on how the Tanzanian Men as Equal Partners Project has changed life styles of men in Singida Region.
IN many countries such as Tanzania traditional customs regard men as leaders and decision-makers in the day-to-day activities of the society. Singida men are not different from the rest of men in the country. They have changed greatly since the launch in 2010 of the Tanzanian Men as Equal Partners Project (TMEP) project.
The programme, which works in three district of the region -- Singida Urban, Singida Rural and Manyoni -- aims at scaling-up male involvement in sexual and reproductive health and rights, including HIV prevention.
Singida is among the central regions of Mainland Tanzania. It has an area of 49,341 square kilometres (about 4.9 million ha) -- equivalent to about six percent of the total area of Tanzania Mainland. It is comprised of four districts -- Singida Urban, Singida Rural, Iramba and Manyoni.
The region's population stands at 1,900,758 of whom 559,743 are women and 531,015 men, according to the 2002 national census.
The TMEP project is based on the notion that men play a meaningful role in the advocacy of safe sex, and the prevention of unwanted pregnancies, sexually-transmitted diseases, gender-based violence and HIV and AIDS.
It is very important to involve men in the struggle to strengthen women's rights and create a supportive network. Stereotypical gender roles hinder both men and women from access to information and reproductive health services.
TMEP works with local non-governmental organisations in implementing the project. Health and Actions Promotion Association (HAPA) based in Singida works with TMEP in the region.
According to HAPA director David Mkanye, the NGO received capacity-building before it was engaged in the implementation of the project.
TMEP community level implementation begins with information, sensitization and mobilization of stakeholders and the community. Mkanye said local people were recruited as peer educators.
After graduating, the peer educators facilitate local events to provide information and education. They also distribute condoms and refer clients to relevant SRH services.
Msafiri Kinungu is a TMEP Ward Coordinator at Ilongero village, abouth 35 kms north of Singida town. "Information on Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH) and Rights are the main tool in the project," he added.
A survey conducted in Singida and Rukwa regions before the implementation of the project showed that 49 percent of men and women had never heard about SRH rights. Also, nearly half of men were not aware that women have the right to decide whether or not to get pregnant.
The survey also showed that 50 per cent of men and women believed that women needed to tolerate gender violence in order to keep their families united.
Kinungu said each month 25 men are trained on different issues related to reproductive health issues. The training takes a month and is conducted by peer educators from each village. Ilongero ward has nine villages -- Ilongero, Iddi Simba, Mrama, Sekotare, Madamara and Itamka, just to mention a few.
"After attending such sessions, men change completely, after learning that child bearing was the only biological activity of women. They start helping their wives with day to day activities such as taking children to dispensaries, carrying water, cooking and washing clothes, which were earlier regarded as female issues," he added.
Distribution of resources in families was among the difficult areas for Singida men to grasp. Singida is among few regions in Tanzania blessed in the cultivation of sunflower. The crop produces the most admired cooking fat called "Sunflower Cooking Oil".
The product has helped to employ many people in the region, since they are engaged in sunflower cultivation, oil production as well as trading. The Singida sunflower cooking oil is very famous in most parts of Tanzania, including neighbouring Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi.
Families work together during sunflower cultivation and harvesting but after selling the produce, men take the role on how the money should be spent. "Sometimes men used the money to pay for dowry and marry another woman without the consent of the first wife. Today such cases are slowly disappearing after theTMEP Project," the Ilongero coordinator said.
"Since we have not reached all the villages in the region, some people have not received the training but now that the project has been extended, we hope to reach them in the coming months, Kinungu said.
The TMEP sensitisation goes to schools where clubs are established. The clubs are established to discuss sexuality, gender as well as to promote gender equality and male involvement to the coming younger generation.
The youth can easily change compared to the old generation, as it is always said, "It is very difficult to teach an old dog new tricks". Therefore, training youth in schools is the best way in getting good results.
The Clinical Officer at Ilongero Health Centre, Grace Kishindo said two public nurses at the centre were trained by TMEP to become more male friendly and to develop their understanding on a right based approach to SHR service delivery.
Kishindo, who is also the head of Ilongero Health Centre said as soon as a pregnant women visits the clinic centre for the first time, she was given a letter for her husband. The letter usually asks the husband to accompany his wife during the following visit to the clinic.
"Couples are usually given first priority at the clinic because men are not very tolerant so we quickly give them services and many are now responding to centre's call by accompanying their wives to attend clinics", she added.
Juma Athumani (37) from Iddi Simba village was accompanying his wife, Mwanahawa Hamisi (32). The Couple are having five children but were planning to have the last child, which would be sixth.
"It is my third time to accompany my wife to the clinic, during my first visit, I was oriented on the benefits of HIV test and I took the test with my wife", Athuman said.
Also, I was sensitized on the importance of helping my wife in daily activities like fetching water as well as washing. Also, I learnt on the importance of preparing for the coming new baby, which includes clothes and money in case complications occur during delivery.
"Usually we request men to accompany their wives to the clinic, only three time, before delivery which takes nine months, women attend clinic only once a month", the Ilongero Health Centre Head told the visiting Journalists.
During the visit, Athumani was not the only husband accompanying his wife, there were several other couples looking at us. Other men were taking their children to the Ilongero Health Centre to get treatment instead of their wives. That is U-turn to men in Singida.

Program Manual FY2015
Donated Funds Initiative (DFI)
The United States Congress created the Title XX Social Services Block Grant in 1981 as part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. The Title XX Social Services Block Grant, with the intent that states would be able to manage their own programs and respond more efficiently to local needs.
The Title XX Social Services Block Grant (catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance 93.667) funds be directed at one or more of five national goals:
The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) is the lead agency for the Title XX Social Services Block Grant Program in Illinois. The IDHS has administrative responsibility to ensure that all federal requirements are met. Mandates include planning, reporting, audit, public participation, and identification of activities that may not be supported with Block Grant funds. A network of state agencies and public and private social service providers utilize the Title XX Social Services Block Grant. The four state agencies that make up the Title XX Social Services Block Grant network include the Department of Children and Family Services, the Department of Corrections, the Department of Human Services, and the Department on Aging.
Within IDHS, the Bureau of Basic Supports, Office of Adult Services & Basic Supports is responsible for the administration of the Title XX Social Services Block Grant.
The State established the Donated Funds Initiative in Fiscal Year 1978 to encourage cooperative social service delivery efforts between local public/private providers and state government. The DFI Program is a "match" program meaning community entities who receive DFI funding must match the DFI funding with locally generated funds. The required match is 25 percent of the total award. The State's Title XX Social Services Block Grant allocation provides the remaining 75 percent of the total award. Through the use of locally generated funds, services can be expanded without the investment of additional state or federal funds. Examples of matching funds are United Way, local taxes, or certification of expenditures by local governments.
IDHS has Community Services Agreements with providers for the delivery of a wide range of services for people who are elderly, people with developmental disabilities, neglected children and adults, children who are at risk, people with physical disabilities, ex-offenders and victims of domestic violence.
IDHS, with the assistance of the state agency network, administers DFI. IDHS receives the appropriated funds and allocates funds for services sponsored by state agencies through Interagency Agreements. All DFI Community Services Agreements are between IDHS and the service providers. Through the Interagency Agreements, the Department on Aging, and the Departments of Children and Family Services and Corrections: identify service priorities, recommend community-based agencies for funding, and assist IDHS with providing technical assistance to DFI service providers to ensure service priorities are followed.
Within IDHS, the Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse, Office of Mental Health, Office of Developmental Disabilities, Office of Rehabilitation Services, and Family and Community Services identify service priorities and recommend community-based agencies for DFI funding. Staff within IDHS also provide assistance to the Bureau of Basic Supports to aid in providing technical assistance to providers.
Providers are reimbursed from the Local Initiative Fund. This fund is part of the annual appropriation to IDHS. For DFI, Requests for Reimbursement with supportive reports are submitted to IDHS at the 100 percent level and reimbursed at 75 percent. Providers/donors contribute 25 percent to meet the matching funds requirement.
The following is a listing of services funded by DFI. Service definitions and components are further detailed in the Title XX Social Services Block Grant annual Pre Expenditure report also known as the State's Intended Use Plan.
Availability of Title XX Social Services Block Grant, Donated Funds Initiative funding is contingent upon annual federal award and appropriation authority approved by the Illinois General Assembly and the Governor.
Following is a listing of terms used throughout the Program Manual that may be of assistance in implementing requirements of the DFI.
The Consolidated Accounting Reporting System (CARS) is the Illinois Department of Human Services' integrated accounting and financial information system. CARS has been customized for IDHS to accomplish the following main objectives:
This is the standard form used to make payments to organizations with DFI Community Services Agreements.
These are expenditures for social services that are certified as such by a public agency, pursuant to the contractual agreement, in order to be considered as a portion of the State's share of social services expenditures.
The C-13 Invoice-Voucher is the standard form used by IDHS to make payments to organizations with agreements to provide approved residential services.
The plan which includes a detailed description for notifying the community of the program, hours of operation, and admittance/eligibility requirements into the programs(s) they administer for IDHS. IDHS must approve any publication and distribution of flyers, printed materials and brochures that are part of the IDHS funded program. All contractors must have a referral process that assists program participants with enrollment into public benefit programs such as TANF, Food Stamps, All Kids, medical and disability assistance, as well as other resources that address the needs of the population targeted for service. A record of referrals made to and from IDHS must be maintained. This information is to be reported as required.
The Community Services Agreement is the standard legal boilerplate used by IDHS and approved by the Illinois Office of the Comptroller to purchase social services from private and public community-based organizations or units of local government. The agreement is signed by the provider and the Secretary of IDHS.
Report which will be completed by service providers quarterly to report the actual numbers of clients served and the actual contract deliverables provided for the quarter and year-to-date. In addition, the report summarizes performance indicators that measure the degree to which providers have achieved their identified program goals.
Title XX Social Services Block Grant Donated Funds Initiative is a fixed rate program for which the payments are made on the basis of a rate or allowable actual cost incurred and is based on a statement or bill as required by IDHS.
Group service is any activity, therapy, counseling, or regimen of treatment involving a participant to a counselor ratio greater than 1:1.
Individual Service is any activity, therapy, counseling, or regimen of treatment involving a participant to a counselor ratio of 1:1.
The value of third-party non-cash contributions provided for directly benefiting the program.
In-kind may consist of donated services, goods, property and equipment.
Public Act 88-0254 requires the Illinois Department on Aging (IDOA) to prepare an annual report on all programs and services provided to "Minority Senior Citizens" to the Governor and the General Assembly. The IDHS, along with other state agencies, must submit information on program/service participation of minority senior citizens to the IDOA. At the end of the fiscal year, the Department will ask each provider to report these statistics on the persons served through the DFI program during the fiscal year.
For the purposes of this report, the definition of a senior citizen is a person 55 years of age or older. The reporting categorizes are African American, Hispanic, Asian American, American Indian or Alaskan Native and Caucasian (Caucasian category included for comparison purposes).
The DFI program plan details the program services, deliverables, and budget that providers will implement for the DFI. The provider is required to comply with all of the conditions and provisions of the program plan.
A provider is a public or private community-based organization under a contractual agreement with the Illinois Department of Human Services to deliver specific social services to a target population.
A public agency is one which is created by an act of law.
Four state agencies sponsor providers that participant in the Donated Funds Initiative. The providers serve the target population and provide the services that coincide with the mission of the state agencies. The agencies are the Department of Human Services, Department on Aging, Department of Corrections, and Department of Children and Family Services.
Two of the Federal requirements that Illinois must meet in order to receive the Title XX allocation is to submit two reports. The Title XX Social Services Block Grant Projected Expenditure Report must be submitted to the Federal Department of Health and Human Services thirty (15 ) days prior to the beginning of the state fiscal year, July 1. The report is the State's plan for social services provided under the Title XX Social Services Block Grant. The report projects the number of clients to be served, expenditures to be incurred, and describes each service and target population.
The Title XX Social Services Block Grant Expenditure Report must be submitted six (6) months after the end of the state fiscal year or prior to the beginning of the new fiscal year. The Expenditure Report provides the actual number of clients served, expenditures, and services provided.
The total award for the Donated Funds Initiative is comprised of two parts, the required 25% match amount and the state's 75% funding commitment. The matching funds must be identified first before the state commits to funding. The Total Award is also referred to as the 100% level of funding.

Starting Into A New World
Blog auf Deutsch.
Two of our most proven people will leave ICF Zurich this summer 2013 with their whole family. ND & Sophal Strupler will plant a new ICF church in Cambodia. They are ready for a really big adventure.
We (ICF Zurich) asked how all this happened and what they feel personally.
Interview with ND Strupler
How on earth did it come about that you decided to move to Cambodia with your family? Your wife Sophal is an adoptive child from Cambodia…
This has to do with our first decision we took over 20 years ago: We where part in the ICF project and are prepared to go "all in". Now it's the same just with another challenge. It is a consequence of our first decision wanting to have an excited life in the kingdom of God. Sophal was the one who took the initiative to plant an ICF in Cambodia. It wouldn't have been my choice, I would have picked California (another place with "C"…). But when she vocalized this, I also realized that like a puzzle many pieces fit together and it really made sense.
Where in Cambodia will you start and why?
After a time of research we chose the city of Siem Reap. At the moment, this is the fastest growing city in Cambodia because it is a tourist spot which attracts many Cambodians from the surrounding provinces. Unfortunately, it's not near to the sea but one flying hour from Siem Reap.
What is your and your family's motivation to take such a step after such a long time of active church work in ICF Zurich? You are not 20 any more…
Exactly this motivates us! Continue reading Starting Into A New World
Never Walk Off
Blog auf Deutsch.
Don't be obsessed with getting more material things. Be relaxed with what you have. Since God assured us, "I'll never let you down, never walk off and leave you," Hebrews 13:5, 6
Thank you God for reminding me.
You will NEVER walk off and leave me.
This is good news in a world where this has become a common practice.
I want to take a stand and show the world, that STAYING is worth it.
Let's Go To Cambodia
Blog auf Deutsch.
1973 Sophal was born in Cambodia and as a baby adopted by wonderful Swiss parents.
2 years ago we flew to Cambodia for the first time.
We fell in love with the country and the people right away.
It was a coming home. Everybody looked like me.
This summer we flew to Cambodia again.
After sitting in a very boring church, ND said to Sophal on the way out: "With a church like this the people of Cambodia only have a small chance of experiencing God in a relevant way."
Sophal looked at ND and said: "We should start an ICF here."
ND was shocked that Sophal would say this.
Sophal never wanted to found a church.
Sophal continued and said: "Founding a church never passed my thoughts and especially not in Cambodia. But I knew it was the right thing and the only way to really help the people of Cambodia."
ND felt the same in my heart but was speechless.
Suddenly Sophal realized that what we were planning on doing would turn our lives up-side-down.
We took some time to test the decision.
It became clearer and clearer that we would start the next 40 years with a radical step. When we told Leo and Susanne Bigger (Pastors of ICF Zurich) they were very excited and support our vision.
So we decided to go to Cambodia and plant a new church at the heartbeat of our time.
We don't only want to found a church but help the young generation in many areas.
Next year in July we'll take the step.
We are going to Cambodia!

Like a mother loves her child. Love is unconditional. Love is given!
The problem with negative thinking is that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. People become reinforced in the direction they are determined, and they produce evidence to support the belief. They feel increasingly victimized and out of control, not in charge of their life or destiny.

November 19, 1999
The penetration of antiretroviral agents into CSF is a potentially important determinant of drug activity against HIV-1 in the central nervous system (CNS). Because of the blood-brain barrier, most drugs do not enter freely into the CSF from plasma. Several factors influence the rate at which drugs penetrate the CSF, including size, charge, fat solubility, and the extent of binding to serum proteins. Because measuring drug concentrations in the CSF requires performing a lumbar puncture (LP, or "spinal tap"), relatively little information is available on the CSF pharmacokinetics of most antiretroviral agents. Previous studies have shown that relying on simultaneous measurement of drug concentrations in plasma and CSF can give misleading results, since peak CSF concentrations might occur later than peak plasma concentrations. Haas and colleagues have applied a novel method of analysis in which an indwelling catheter is placed in the epidural space to allow continuous sampling of CSF over several days. This approach uses techniques similar to those used in delivering spinal anesthesia or intrathecal chemotherapy.
In this study, Clough et al reported the pharmacokinetics of 3TC in CSF and plasma at steady-state [Abstract 330]. Four treatment-naïve patients initiated therapy with a 3TC-containing regimen using standard doses of 3TC (15 mg q12 hours). After four days, patients underwent frequent sampling of plasma and CSF over a 12-hour period. Peak 3TC concentrations(Cmax) were 6.1 mM and 0.37 mM in the plasma and CSF, respectively, giving a ratio CSF:plasma ratio of 8%. It is interesting to note that the Cmax of 3TC in CSF occurred approximately 3 hours after the plasma Cmax. The ratio of the 3TC area-under-the-curve (AUC) for CSF vs plasma was approximately 15%.
Similar data were generated for stavudine (d4T). The Cmax for d4T was 3.05 mM in plasma and 0.32 mM in CSF, for a CSF:plasma ratio of approximately 10%. Despite this difference in peak concentrations, CSF d4T concentrations actually exceeded plasma d4T concentrations for more than half the dosing interval. As with 3TC, the time to peak d4T concentration in the CSF was longer than the time to peak plasma concentration (3.5 hours vs 1 hour), suggesting a delay in entry of d4T into the CSF [Abstract 340].
Haas et al. also studied the steady-state PK of indinavir (IDV) in the CSF in eight patients who had achieved complete suppression of plasma HIV-1 RNA [Abstract 338]. Although peak CSF concentrations of IDV were only 6% of peak plasma concentrations (366 nM vs 5.45 mM, respectively), the estimated mean trough (Cmin) of IDV concentration in CSF was greater than the plasma trough concentration (93 nM vs 130 nM, respectively) and exceeded the IC95 for IDV (100 nM) throughout the 8-hour dosing interval in 5/8 subjects.
Another application of the frequent sampling technique is determining the kinetics of virus production in the CSF. Using four of the same patients as in the PK studies, Haas et al. characterized estimated the half-life and clearance of HIV-1 in CSF. Baseline HIV-1 RNA levels in CSF were slightly lower than in plasma (3.35-4.68 log10 copies/mL vs 4..63-4.87 log10 copies/mL, respectively). The estimated half-life of CSF virus ranged from 1.3-4.0 days, as compared to 1.1-1.9 days for plasma virus. Based on these data the investigators estimated that the rate of virus entry into the CSF varied from 74,000 to more than 2 million per day. These experiments could not determine, however, whether virus found in the CSF was produced locally in the central nervous system or crossed into the CSF from peripheral blood and lymphoid tissues.
What is the clinical significance of these results? The data generated by Haas's group demonstrate the feasibility of conducting form PK analysis of drug penetration into the CSF, and show that there is a lag of serveral hours between the time to peak plasma and CSF concentrations. These differences in time to peak concentration can have a substantial effect on calculating the CSF:plasma ratio of a drug. In addition, this system provides the potential for more detailed analysis of viral dynamics in the CSF, which may provide further insights into the best strategies for controlling this important reservoir HIV-1.

One afternoon, early in the 2003 fall semester, Maggie Hargrave struck up a conversation with Elizabeth Penry, Ph.D., associate professor of history at Fordham, following Penry's introductory lecture in a class on Latin American history.
Hargrave, who lived briefly in Boliva as a child when her parents were Maryknoll lay missioners, had heard that Penry spent some time in the country as a Fulbright scholar. They immediately hit it off, bonding over a shared passion for Latin American history.
"Her class immediately grabbed my attention," Hargrave said. "There are some professors whose love for the subject they teach shows through even in an [introductory] course. [She] was definitely one of them."
Hargrave, who majored in anthropology and comparative literature, kept in regular touch with Penry throughout her time at Fordham and, when she decided to apply for her own Fulbright scholarship, Penry was there to help her navigate the international study and exchange program's rigorous application process.
"All of the time that she spent with me as she guided me through the process of dreaming up the questions and parameters of a project proposal was a gift of a class," Hargrave said. "By sharing her experience and knowledge, she helped me to find a path for my project that was both fascinating and feasible."
Penry's advice paid off. Shortly after graduating from Fordham in 2007, Hargrave earned a Fulbright and set off for Sucre, the constitutional capital of Boliva, to research the role the indigenous Quechua women play in the sale of traditional medicines within the country.
Within her first few weeks in the country, however, she realized that her research wasn't really getting her anywhere—especially after she witnessed firsthand the pervasive tension between indigenous people and their urban counterparts.
"I found that my questions focusing on the dynamics of race and gender were too narrow, said Hargrave. "They didn't get to the heart of [the] identity politics that indigenous market women face."
So Hargrave sought out a new approach. She soon found it after a chance encounter with a director of a local children's education center called Nanta, which works with child and adolescent workers, most of whom are indigenous or peasant families. Hargrave was hooked, gaining, in the process, a fresh perspective on indigenous life in Sucre.
"It became the best resource that I have for my project," said Hargrave, who has been splitting her time between the library, Nanta, the marketplace and the countryside.
This past summer, Penry, the director of Fordham's Latin American and Latino Studies Institute, spent time in Boliva and Peru, conducting research for a book she's writing about indigenous politics in the Andes. She took the time to catch up with Hargrave in Sucre.
"She's doing sophisticated ethnographic work," Penry said of her former student. "She's just doing great stuff."

Blu-ray Review: The Sword with No Name
The Sword with No Name could have been a great movie if the storytellers realized that not everyone knows the history behind Korea's Queen Min. Viewers who are not familiar with the backstory of Korea's relationship with Japan, the Joseon Dynasty or the First Sino-Japanese War, will be lost for most of the film. Since the core of The Sword with No Name is a love story, the dense political details often get lost. You'll never quite get what's going on with Russia, Catholicism, the Japanese and the internal civil war in the royal family. Decisions and motivations tend to jump around often, to focus more on the fabricated relationship between Empress Myeong-seong (Soo Ae) and Moo-myeong (Seung-woo Cho). Still there are several beautiful cinematic sequences. Some of the fight sequences look like they inspired the vivid fight sequences in Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch. The drama is there, it just needed some additional time to breath.
Just before the end of the nineteenth century, several Asian countries faced the threat of foreign imperialism. For Korea, Queen Min worked diligently to hamper Japanese influence in Korea. She developed stronger ties with Russia in order to block Japanese expansion. That's the story you needed to know or at least have the general idea of before watching the film.
The Sword with No Name begins with an arranged marriage between Myeong-seong and King Gojong. Just before they are wed, Myeong-seong meets Moo-myeong, a rogue who gave up his given name Johannes. The two develop a relationship that could never be do to Myeong-seong's duty as queen. In order to be closer to the queen, Moo-myeong earns a place in Gojong's court by testing out a prototype for a bulletproof vest. Guns were bad, even in the 1800s. Tensions begin to rise when Queen Min begins to exercise too much political power. Her relationship with the Russians is perceived as a threat to Gojong's father. Eventually, Gojong's father works to have the queen assassinated.
The intense love story between the two never quite comes to fruition since this is historical fiction. However, you can always sense the growing emotions between Myeong-seong and Moo-myeong. Soo Ae is simply amazing in every scene. You sense her conflicted inner turmoil of love versus duty.
There are two brilliant fight scenes in the movie between Moo-myeong and Gojong's father's main guard, Noe-jeon (Jae-woong Choi). The first takes place on a boat. It will be hard not to jump out of your seat when you see it. There's a lot of slow motion attack sequences and some terrific stunt fish work. You'll just have to see it. The second major fight between the two doesn't have quite the same impact. By the time it takes place, you will have forgotten that this movie had any fighting at all. However, once it hits, the visuals are spectacular. The two accidentally fight there way into a banquet. Instead of disrupting the banquet, the monarchy calls it a demonstration for entertainment. Then, instead of seeing Noe-jeon and Moo-myeong fight at the banquet, the scene cuts over into an icy world for the fight to take place. It's a highly imaginative scene and superbly executed.
The Blu-ray release comes with a few behind-the-scenes special features presented in 480i standard definition. These include making of videos and cast interviews. The audio is presented with its original Korean language track in Dolby TrueHD 2.0. You can also watch with English 1.5 TrueHD and subtitles. I can't say that I'm a fan of the English dialogue. It seemed to use some of the more sporadic Anime voices for its secondary characters. These were quite annoying, especially Moo-myeong's friends. So if you're a purist, it's better to go with the original language. The subtitles aren't great, but they do a good enough job in delivering the choppy political backstory.

I've already subscribed
Earlier today we got an update from writer Rob Thomas on his continued interest in making a Veronica Mars movie. In the write-up of his comments, Katey mentioned that I said I thought the film could work and Im sticking to that
Starz subscribers will be getting more of Ryan Hansens egotistically-charged humor when Party Down returns next month and it seems the Veronica Mars alum will be even busier on the small screen now that hes been cast in a new NBC comedy pilot.
The last decade featured a number of outstanding drama series, so it wasnt easy for us to pick our favorites. We did manage to narrow the list down to the dramatic series that topped the others, in our book anyway
This past decade has seen some of the biggest leaps in TV innovation. It will be remembered for the advent of DVR and online streaming, for genre redefining shows like The Office and Dexter
It's not easy being a badass (ask Chuck Norris). The cards are usually stacked against you, time is often running out and its often up to you to save the day. You have to leave your badass-stamp on the whole situation
From the sound of these upcoming projects, it looks as though The CW may have some worth-watching shows on the horizon. Whats more, Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas and One Tree Hill creator Mark Schwann are among the people involved with some of these new series.
One of ABCs new drama series premiering during the 2010 midseason season is The Deep End. A timeslot and premiere date has yet to be set.
Im already loving Starzs new comedy series Party Down. In addition to being full of witty dialogue, the series also appears to be a fantastic place for former Veronica Mars stars to reunite. Thats not surprising as VM creator Rob Thomas also happens to be at the helm of Party Down. Fans of Mars will be pleased to know that Jason Dohring (aka Logan Echolls) is set to appear in this weeks episode of Party Down.
As if Veronica Mars fans shouldnt already be excited for the premiere of Rob Thomas new series Party Down on Starz (coming in March!), now theres one more reason to start counting down. Starz announced that Kristen Bell, aka Veronica Mars is set to play a guest role in the series in its first season!
It looks like ABC is set to add a handful of new series to their midseason primetime line-up. The network has just greenlit three dramas and two comedies, including a series that will star Nathan Captain Hammer Fillion as well as Rob Thomas latest TV project (Veronica Mars fans rejoice!).
If youre a total Veronica Mars nerd like I am, then this is some great casting news. Francis Capra (aka Weevil) is set to play a role on the upcoming season of Heroes. Even better? He has at least one scene with Veronicaer, Elle (Kristin Bell).
The upcoming 90210 spinoff just became a little less awesome. Rob Thomas, creator of the dearly (oh so dearly) departed Veronica Mars, has announced that he is stepping down as show runner of the new series. Thomas, who in addition to the 90210 pilot on The CW, has two other pilots in development at ABC, is citing a time crunch as the reason for his departure.
With the success of The CW's Gossip Girl, it's no real surprise that the network is working on another primetime teen soap opera. New details about the Beverly Hills, 90210 spin-off (or rip-off - however you want to look at it) have emerged.
Say the numbers 90210 and you immediately think of Aaron Spellings popular 1990s teen soap, Beverly Hills, 90210, which aired on Fox from 1990-2000. Now the CW and CBS Paramount Network TV are developing a fast-track spinoff of the show, with Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas in talks to write the project. How cool is that?! I love Veronica Mars, and hope this show has the same edgy feel. I might actually watch it.
When you have a show that you love, its kind of hard not to have high expectations for it. Unfortunately, this can often lead to being insanely disappointed when the series has a bad season. If its failing to live up to what it once was, it can be almost painful to tune in week after week. Unfortunately, this happens a lot with TV shows. When it does, all we can do is hope that the series will eventually bring itself back to its original greatness.

Home Opinion Editorials Dudley for governor
Dudley for governor
Oregon has a money problem.
Two of them, actually.
We're spending too much money on state government.
And we're not collecting enough in taxes.
The result is an estimated shortfall of $3.2 billion for the two-year budget cycle that starts July 1, 2011.
In the midst of this fiscal crisis, voters will decide whether John Kitzhaber or Chris Dudley is the more likely, as the state's next governor, to deal effectively with these twin dilemmas.
We think it's Dudley.
On the spending side of the ledger, Dudley has suggested ways to reign in the exorbitant benefits given to the state's union-represented workers.
For instance, most state workers don't pay any part of their health insurance premiums. And the state pays the 6 percent contribution employees are required to make to their retirement accounts.
Kitzhaber did nothing to address these unsustainable practices during his eight-year tenure as governor.
Even the modest changes Dudley has proposed — requiring state workers to pay the same percentage of their premiums as public school teachers do on average, for example — could trim the state's personnel expenses by more than $100 million in the next biennium.
As for revenue, both Dudley and Kitzhaber want to cut the state's capital gains tax rate to encourage businesses to grow.
But Dudley's much more aggressive proposal is the better approach in these trying times than Kitzhaber's tentative tactics.
Dudley's critics cite the supposed "cost" of his tax-cutting plan — $800 million over four years — compared with Kitzhaber's $100 million for the same period.
This is misleading.
The purpose of cutting capital gains taxes, after all, is to stimulate the economy and to help businesses grow.
When businesses grow they hire more workers. And those workers pay state income taxes — the biggest, and unfortunately also most volatile, slice of Oregon's general fund revenue pie.
Many pundits have droned on about the difference in public sector experience between the candidates.
Dudley has never worked in government. Kitzhaber served in the Oregon Legislature for 14 years before his two terms as governor.
A significant difference, certainly.
But the important question is what, exactly, is significant about that difference?
The conventional wisdom, which holds that veteran public servants are more capable than newcomers of rescuing a troubled government entity, seems to us, well, not very wise.
Look at the situation this way instead: Is the best person to solve a crisis the person who was in charge while that crisis was brewing?
That's akin to saying that a quarterback who throws an interception is the guy who should lead a crucial fourth-quarter drive because, well, he knows what it's like to throw an interception.
To borrow an analogy from a different sport — golf — John Kitzhaber has had his shot, and Oregonians shouldn't give him a mulligan.
This time let Chris Dudley have a swing.

Teen led police on high-speed chase down 80
By: Jenifer Gee Journal Staff Writer
Auburn father, daughter feared for their lives
A 14-year-old boy put his young life — and the life of an Auburn father and his 8-year-old daughter — in danger after he led law enforcement on a high-speed pursuit in a truck he stole from his grandfather. The youth, whose name was not released because he is a juvenile, was arrested on charges of vehicle theft, evading a police officer and driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs after he ran his grandfather's 2000 gray Ford Ranger onto a curb near Marguerite Mine Road on Highway 49 in Auburn Saturday, according to Rocklin Police Department spokesman Lt. Lon Milka. At about 8 p.m. Saturday, Rocklin police received a report of a stolen vehicle from a residence on the 4800 block of Lel Cid Drive in Rocklin. A patrol officer later saw the truck on Sierra College Boulevard, approaching Interstate 80 toward Auburn and started to pursue the vehicle with his patrol lights and siren on. Milka said the 14-year-old Citrus Heights resident reached speeds of about 90 mph and was weaving in and out of traffic traveling eastbound on 80. The pursuit was called off shortly after authorities realized the driver was a minor and deemed it unsafe to chase after him given traffic conditions and his age, Milka said. The Rocklin police officer turned off his lights but continued to trail the driver. According to Milka, Auburn California Highway Patrol officers and deputies from the Placer County Sheriff's Office then pursued the 14-year-old until the chase came to an end in Auburn. Auburn resident Roger Lord said he and his daughter were leaving the Home Depot on Highway 49 Saturday night and we're thinking about heading over to Starbucks for an evening treat. He said when he looked down the road and saw flashing police lights, he decided to go home instead. As he and his daughter were sitting in his vehicle at a stoplight on Atwood Road, he noticed police cars coming over the horizon. Then he saw a -man in a small pickup truck "barreling" down the road — with about six or seven patrol cars chasing after him — headed straight for Lord's car. "I was thinking, 'This could be it. This could be the end,'" Lord said. Lord said what probably happened next most likely occurred in about 10 seconds but felt like it took "forever." He watched as the gray truck made a last-minute veer out of Lord's lane. "He took a hard turn," Lord said. "You could see the truck leaning on its side, fighting to keep from rolling over." Lord said thousands of thoughts ran through his head as he watched the scene unfold. "My daughter was in the car with me and it was scary," Lord said. "I really literally said my prayers like, 'God, don't let this be it. She's only 8 years old.'" Lord said after the car had blasted through the intersection and the patrol cars had zoomed by, the light turned green but no cars moved. "Everyone was still just sitting there," Lord said. Milka said no injuries were reported and the vehicle was returned to its owner. Milka said authorities do not know yet why the teen took the vehicle. The teen was booked into juvenile hall and will face his charges in the juvenile court system. As for Lord, he said he's thankful to be alive. "It was a very surreal experience," Lord said. "You think you only see this on 'COPS.'" The Journal's Jenifer Gee can be reached at email@example.com or post a comment.

Right, so, here's another post relating to Necrons.
My dynasty uses the standard metal scheme with my own twist on it, I like to paint the heavier armor on my models as a ceramic or porcelain style, this is in the new Ceramite White over a standard black basecoat followed up with a glaze of 'Ardcoat.
It generally looks good, but I've been having trouble applying the white in a way which doesn't cause it to streak rather badly on the first coat, causing the undercoat to be partially visible. It normally takes two or three to get a matte white finish I'm happy with glazing. Is there an easier way to use the white I'm missing which could let me cut down on the coats? Or should I just stick with the multiple coats?
Pics so you have an idea of what I'm on about. This is the finished product.

This snowblower is an Honda 8 horse two stage walk behind blower, and this thing is a beast. It never bogs down, even in the wettest snow. Our neighbor's Ariens can't even keep up. In this video its blowing snow up to 14 inches deep that had fallen all night. Even as I'm uploading this (4 hours after the video was taken) its still snowing, so the HS80 will probably get even more use tonight. We're also due for another big storm tommorrow afternoon. Please comment maturely, and enjoy!

The only place i've seen natty PB is on the net. No shop in newcastle sells it - they've all go added salt. I'd get it from the net, but i don't see sense in having a 300g £4 jar of PB being delivered to my door, so i was planning on making my own.
I can get the nuts, but what oil is best to add? I read safflower oil, but could olive oil be used? any other oils that would work or is the choice of oil merely just for flavour?

I've been telling a lot of people about twitter lately, so I thought I'd broach the topic as to what makes Twitter so great.
For me, Twitter has been WAY more effective in helping me find and connect with individuals with similar interests than anything else. More effective than if I had actually been looking for them.
That's part of the beauty of Twitter. It happens organically. I am constantly finding more people to follow that "speak my language", and/or are interested in the same things I am.
There is minimal effort involved in the beginning, but once you start following a few people, you tend to just naturally find additional people to follow that add value. One thing I would suggest is to browse who other people are following, and check them out as well. I've found lots of great new people to follow this way.
I was definitely a naysayer at first, but this article was what caused me to give Twitter a second look and actually try it out:
Ten Questions with Chris Brogan – http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2007/09/ten-questions-w.html
Also, if there is one person I would suggest you follow to start, follow Chris Brogan. Check out his blog as well. Fantastic stuff. Definitely one of my favorite reads online.
Here's an additional link to a good post about how twitter improved Truemors:

April 30, 2016
North Carolina's governor is considering new oversight of the state's beleaguered Highway Patrol.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported that Gov. Beverly Perdue is talking with Mike Robertson, the commissioner of the state Division of Motor Vehicles.
Perdue spokeswoman Chrissy Pearson confirms Perdue has discussed the possibility with Robertson but no formal offer has been made.
The governor met Wednesday with 160 patrol supervisors across the state, demanding an end to a string of embarrassing ethical lapses. But she made no leadership changes.
Perdue probably wouldn't be able to replace patrol commander Col. Randy Glover with Robertson because state law requires that the commander come from within the agency.
Robertson would not talk about the potential move.

text: Gr 4-6--"Were you raised by wolves?" is a common question when children behave in an unruly manner. In Maryrose Wood's witty gem (HarperCollins, 2010), the answer is "Yes!" On a hunting trip, Lord Fredrick Ashton discovers three wild, naked children and decides to bring them home. His wife is too spoiled to care for feral children, so she hires Penelope Lumley to be their governess. Penelope's primary responsibility is to prepare the children for a holiday party that will occur in just a few months. All goes according to plan, and the children impress the guests with their etiquette and education. But a troublemaker's scheming threatens to undo all of their hard work, and their future at Ashton Place is uncertain. The tale concludes with several unanswered questions, building anticipation for the next volume in this excellent new series. Katherine Kellgren brilliantly narrates the tale which is told from Penelope's perspective; she also gives unique, convincing voices to the entire cast of characters. Listeners will particularly enjoy her interpretation of the children's speech patterns, including life-like wolf noises. Her knack for pacing heightens tension at the appropriate moments. With an exceptional story and first-rate narration, this audiobook is a must-have for library collections.--Amy Holland, Hamlin Public Library, NY[Page 58].

Rocklin High grad earns Young Entrepreneur scholarship
By: Amanda Calzada, Placer Herald Correspondent
Niki Silveria and friends start business selling anime-themed items
When a tsunami struck Japan in 2011, recent Rocklin High graduate Niki Silveria was struck with an idea. "It was a spur-of-the-moment decision," smiled Silveria, whose efforts to start her own business earned her one of the ten Young Entrepreneur scholarships given to California high school seniors each year. For more than nine years, the National Federation of Independent Business, California, has worked to promote entrepreneurship and small business as a career path for students. "We achieve our mission primarily through our annual scholarship program recognizing graduating high school seniors who have started their own business," said Michelle Orrock, spokesperson for National Federation of Independent Business, California. Silveria was honored by the federation at a luncheon held in July. The 2012 Rocklin grad and her three 18-year-old friends — Caroline Kilby, Michaela Blagg, and Tabatha Sartain — decided to set up a booth showcasing artwork after the creators of Sacanime announced plans for a small convention to raise funds for the American Red Cross' disaster relief fund in Japan. "We had all visited and explored several anime-related conventions in the past and the artist owned booths located there had always provided a source of enjoyment and curiosity," Silvera explained. "While we had not yet seriously considered taking the time to start our own ventures, we had all contrived several ideas that could be put to use." After paying for the booth and admission to the convention, the friends decided to donate one-half of their profits to the relief effort. The business, Majestic Quartet, honors the four entrepreneurs who were surprised by the amount of hard work invested and the amount of enjoyment received. Each one manages a different aspect of the business — finances, inventory, transportation and artistic creation. Silveria, who heads up the Majestic Quartet, also crochets items to sell. "She certainly has found her niche," said Michelle Orrock, spokesperson for National Federation of Independent Business, California. Scarves, key chains, and bookmarks are the primary items the Majestic Quartet have offered at the four anime conventions since that first run. All products have anime themes and characters — both classic and contemporary. As consumers, the artists find the booths have become a source of "enjoyment and curiosity." "It's a bit different; it's so versatile," said Silveria. "The style of art can be used for children's shows or dramas. I think it's interesting that someone can convey so many different types of emotions and reach different audiences with the same style of art." Drawing, textile arts, and crocheting have always interested the 2012 Rocklin High graduate. She derives inspiration from nature – using flower and leaf patterns in her crocheted items. Silveria joined the Textile Arts Club at Rocklin High around the time the other members of the Majestic Quartet introduced her to anime. "It's a lot deeper than the usual television series," she said. "There's a lot more styles than you think would exist," she said. And the variety of styles in the artwork poses the most challenging aspect of the business – selecting a few ideas from a plethora of possibilities. The most rewarding aspect is working with the close-knit members of Majestic Quartet, who meet once or twice a week to put together ideas. Although Silveria will begin working on a computer science degree at the University of Nevada, Reno in the fall, her entrepreneurial endeavors will not cease. "It gives us hope for the future of our state when we meet students like Niki," said Orrock. Inventory of the Majestic Quartet can be viewed at majestic-quartet.deviantart. com

Fashion Museum Omotesando Has Beautiful Latticed 'Living Wall' Skin
Posted By Yuka Yoneda On March 30, 2010 @ 10:30 am In Architecture,Design,Green Roof,Sustainable Design Organizations | 1 Comment
There have been some spectacular submissions to the Fashion Museum Omotesando Competition [1] to design a 100 meter high museum for Tokyo's most en vogue district, and Wing Shun Leung and Donald Shek's ethereal, multi-layered proposal [2] spattered with colorful plants and flowers really captured our attention. The challenge was to create an environment that could both house the museum's exhibitions celebrating all things fashion-related, while continuously evolving with its surroundings much like fashion [3] does to intrigue and entice passersby. The milky white layers that form the facade allow daylight [4] to filter through the building and trays overflowing with plants trickle down the side of the tower, achieving a look that is very fashion-forward and constantly interacts with the outside environment on Omotesando Street.
Each stack that makes up the building will be lined with a bed of sedum and plantation that will act as solar shading to filter direct sunlight as well as add to the aesthetic appeal of the structure. Another interesting feature of Shek's vision for the museum [5] is the plateaued "cliffs" that jut out from certain levels of the tower forming balconies where visitors can overlook the city.
The building will also have reception and conference areas, offices, a gift shop, and an urban garden [6]. The top floors of the museum will house sky gardens and a sky bar for tourists to enjoy.

Members of this task force have been selected for not only their fraternal, but also for their professional acumen and success. The task force is designed to be a "low-impact" addition to their already demanding schedules. Originally, four en masse meetings of two hours each were scheduled between September 2nd, 2011 and January 24th, 2012. As a result of additional topics of study, additional meetings have been added. While all members are encouraged to be present for meetings, members unable to join in person are able to teleconference with the group.
To facilitate efficient examination of the wide range of subjects to be discussed, the topics for review were initially broken into four strata with each stratum corresponding with a convening of all task force members.
However, as clear priorities emerged among topics, meetings have tended to not adhere to this outline rigidly. Additionally, Ad hoc subcommittees have been formed and disbanded as needed to continue reviewing topics that are not fully understood or resolved at the conclusion of full meetings of the task force.

Dead Island RiptideKonok91 | June 6, 2013 | Review of Dead Island Riptide Standard - PC
This game is similar to the original dead island with slightly better optimization and more weapons,mods,zombies,etc. This game can be a bit frustrating at first especially if you are either new to the dead island series or playing alone. I would highly recommend this game to be extremely fun when you play co-op with a group of 4 ( including yourself) friends. I would say if you enjoyed the first dead island, there is nothing holding you back and despite all the criticism this game received, this game was supposed to be dead island 1.5 with much more tweaks.


text: pcxmac August 05, 2013 3:58 PM I am not bashing Sam, I am calling it out like it is, the guy has the fastest bike on the grid, his teammate is not a 'mug' but hes not exactly world class either. On top of that his teammate isn't being courted by Yamaha. and on top of that the R6 when properly 'kitted' has pretty much owned since forever. Last year when Sam ran in to someone like Marc Marquez and apologized for it I thought that was really great, Sam is a fast clean rider. But its very very clear the media have been pumping him like they did Marc, all for the sake of pushing the 'idol' treatment and stupidity. Its not Sam I dislike, its the stupidity that is surrounding him, it's will, and the fact that Sam doesnt even have to try to beat the 2nd fastest guy in the WSS, its very much like Marquez in MotoGP, and it's pretty FKn lame.

Kaiden and Elena were a strange couple. You see their problem lies in Two things. One) she's a fey and He's a Vampire. They're supposed to be sworn enemies. Two) There was a reward for the last fey heads that could be captured. You see because of the slight human epidemic, pure fey blood is quite the rare find.
Running through the forest is where we meet our young fey. Elena had woken up in the morning thinking it would be just like any other boring day. Fey learning rituals, for she was almost of age, then perhaps spending time with her mandolin crazed best friend Kalafina, and then of course going to visit her mother within the confines of her prison. Elena's mother had been caught attempting to leave the forest. Leaving the forest unless being sent on a mission by the Queen was absolutely forbidden. It was so forbidden in fact that the fey put you in stocks and left you out as an example. Elena's mother had been granted a private cell due to the fact that her mother had been a favorite general of the queen's. But on this day it seemed like nothing was to go right. Elena had firstly woken up extremely late, causing her to miss her fey learning rituals. In addition she had run out of food and needed to go hunting. Because it was already well into the learning rituals Elena had decided to go hunting by her self. As she was walking out of the village a few of the men folk had spotted her. After enduring a few seconds of the wolf whistles Elena moved on. Elena could be described as beautiful. She boasted the height of 5 and a half feet tall, which in fey height standards is fairly small, and her skin was paler than the moon which was strange for a summer fey since they were almost always out in the sun. Her best friend, Kalafina, who was even shorter than her often made fun of her skin. Elena would joust right back making fun of her friends mandolin playing. She also had long flowing Auburn almost red hair, that she felt sometimes got in her way and it seemed like that what it was precisely what it was going to do today. Elena was running for her life right now. The vampires had gone deep into the forest again, and she had been spotted. Idiotic, yes but Elena had been hungry so she left the mythical city of the summer fey, Solaris, without telling anyone. And now she was about to become the prize of some spoilt Vampire idiot. She picked up the pace 'if the brat wants me he'll have to come and get me' she thought indignantly. As she was running she didn't happen to notice the rather large tree roots in front of her. Just like that she was on the floor about to become some crazy vampire consolation prize. The voices of the hunters came closer, and she felt the net land on to of her body constricting the flow of power within. 'The power of a sphinx hair net. Never would have thought
' and like that Elena was unconscious and in the hands of her vampire hunters.

Phillips says it's important to start in one room and work slowly — "2 feet by 2 feet," she said, adding that it's a good idea to start in the youngest kid's room first so it will already be organized when you start bringing the older kids' hand-me-downs into it.
"I tell them to only leave out everything that is in-season," Phillips says. "Put the stuff that is out of season in the basement."
Garages can also get messy after a long summer because more items see more use in the summer. Also, Cooper says, garages often serve as a "catch all" spot for many households.
Unlike some service providers who get called in for a repair and work alone until the job is done, most home organizers prefer work closely with customers, Cooper said.
"We go in and see the areas that need to be organized," Cooper says. "We'll purge things that need to be thrown out, get rid of broken toys or donate clothes that have become too small."

Congo at the Crossroads
Tony Gambino and Michael O'Hanlon, CNN

Last week, millions of people turned out in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to vote in Presidential and Parliamentary elections. Unfortunately, because of myriad mistakes in the run-up to the polling, the elections themselves were marred by disorganization, fraud, and violence. And Congolese, as well as the world community, now face a fraught moment.
