Distinguished Co-Chairmen, Commission Members, Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is an honor to have been invited to speak at this hearing. The Commission is to be commended for organizing the hearing and focusing attention on an often overlooked group of people in need--the internally displaced. Currently, there are some 25 million persons uprooted within their own countries by conflict, civil strife, persecution and serious violations of human rights. Internal displacement is a global crisis, affecting some fifty countries in all regions of the world. Of the estimated 3 million internally displaced persons in the OSCE region, more than half are found in the Caucasus and Turkey.
Before focusing on specific countries, allow me to briefly describe the approach that has guided me in carrying out my mandate. To begin with, it must be recognized that internal displacement, by its very nature, is an internal problem falling within state sovereignty. In my dialogues with governments, I begin by assuring them of my respect for state sovereignty. At the same time, however, I argue that sovereignty must be viewed, not as a barricade to international involvement, but as entailing responsibilities for a government to protect the rights and welfare of all those under its territorial jurisdiction, if need be with supplementary assistance from the international community. Indeed the responsibility to protect and assist the internally displaced lies first and foremost with the national authorities, the role of the international community being only complementary.
As regards the rights of internally displaced persons, working with a team of international legal experts and broad international consultation, we developed, at the request of the UN Commission on Human Rights and the General Assembly, the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement--the first international standards for internally displaced persons. The Principles are appended to the text of my presentation. The Guiding Principles set forth the rights and guarantees of internally displaced persons in all phases of displacement: prevention, protection during displacement and the search for durable solutions. Since their presentation in 1998, UN bodies have recognized the Guiding Principles as constituting an important standard and a tool for the protection of the internally displaced and have encouraged their wide dissemination and application. The Principles are being used by the OSCE and the Council of Europe, for instance, as well as by local groups, and are also being drawn upon by a number of governments as guidance for policy and legislation. The Principles have been translated into more than 30 languages, including Abkhaz, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Georgian, Russian and Turkish.
Country missions are another critically important area of activity for my mandate. They provide an opportunity to study first-hand the situation of the internally displaced, to assess the effectiveness of national and international responses in addressing their protection, assistance and development needs and, most importantly, to engage in solutions-oriented dialogue with the authorities and other relevant actors. Of my 25 missions as Representative of the Secretary-General on Internally Displaced Persons, my very first were to Europe: to the former Yugoslavia and the Russian Federation in 1992. In more recent years, I have returned to the OSCE region to undertake missions to Armenia (2000), Azerbaijan (1998), Georgia (2000), Tajikistan (1996) and Turkey (2002). I have also participated in seminars on internal displacement held in the South Caucasus and in the Russian Federation, co-sponsored by the Brookings Project on Internal Displacement together with local partners and, in the South Caucasus, also with the OSCE. The findings and recommendations of these country missions as well as of the seminars are detailed in reports presented to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, to which I report every year.
In the South Caucasus, the plight of internally displaced persons is a protracted one, stretching back to the outbreak of various conflicts in the region in the early 1990s. For more than a decade now, cease-fires have been in place, virtually uninterrupted, and yet durable solutions to the conflicts and the plight of the more than one million uprooted persons remain elusive to this day. A defining feature of internal displacement in this region is that, unlike in many other situations where internally displaced populations are perceived by the authorities as associated with "the enemy" and targeted on that basis, in the South Caucasus, ethnic and external factors foster a general attitude of sympathy and solidarity with the displaced. Even so, there exist serious concerns about respect for the rights of the internally displaced, especially as regards facilitating solutions to their plight.
Azerbaijan has the largest internally displaced population of the three countries, with nearly 600,000 internally displaced. More than ten years after they were uprooted and a cease-fire to the conflict, the vast majority live in deplorable conditions of destitution, deprivation and dependency. Shelter conditions are substandard: weather-worn tents, overcrowded and dilapidated dormitories, even abandoned railway cars and dugouts. Poor sanitary conditions make these locations breeding grounds for disease, including respiratory infections and malaria. Moreover, these sites typically are in remote locations, far from markets and income-generating opportunities. Few displaced have access to arable land and adequate water to allow agricultural self-sustainability. Recent surveys indicate that 63% percent of the displaced (far higher than the national average) live below the poverty line. The Government reports that one in three displaced children below the age of 5 suffers from malnutrition and that infant mortality among displaced children is three to four times higher than the national rate. When I visited the country in 1998, however, the Government was resistant to efforts to improve the living conditions of the displaced and increase their self-reliance, concerned that doing so would signal abandoning the goal of return and regaining control over Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding areas from which the displaced originate and which constitute about 20% of the country. This order of priority was shared by the displaced themselves. The international donor community, for its part, after years of providing emergency humanitarian assistance was increasingly unwilling to keep the internally displaced in a state of dependency and instead was eager to begin the transition to development assistance.
During my 1998 mission, I emphasized to the Government the importance of supporting durable solutions for the internally displaced. To begin with, there was an urgent need to improve the living conditions of displaced persons, especially as regards shelter. In addition to placing priority on addressing basic humanitarian needs, I stressed the importance of supporting greater self-reliance among the displaced, in particular by ensuring their access to cultivable land, skills training, income-generating activities and micro-credit. I also emphasized the importance of continuing to pursue the right of the displaced to voluntary return in safety and dignity and the need for reintegration and reconstruction assistance in those areas where return already was possible. At the same time, I promoted the pursuit of alternative solutions, that is, resettlement or local integration and self-reliance, for the many internally displaced persons for whom return was not yet a realistic option. Having discussed these themes with various Government officials at all levels, I was particularly encouraged when President Aliyev concurred that such an approach indeed was necessary.
Since that time, the Government of Azerbaijan, together with the international community, have taken a number of important steps in that direction. Of particular note is the Government program, using a new $75 million IDP fund from state oil revenues, to improve shelter and socio-economic conditions for the displaced, including resettling some 3,000 internally displaced families into new sites. The new homes are reported to be an improvement in terms of shelter, although Refugees International also reports with concern that the lack of viable agricultural or economic opportunities near the new sites, without which resettlement represents only a partial solution. Another important initiative is the more than $40 million program of the World Bank, UNHCR and UNDP, in partnership with the Government, to support return and reconstruction in the so-called "liberated areas" as well as a social investment fund. Also of note is the National Poverty Reduction Strategy for 2003-2005, which will target internally displaced persons as one vulnerable group. The strategy includes plans for: the rehabilitation of the "liberated areas" to which return is possible; housing for more than 5,000 internally displaced families to resettle in other parts of the country, at least temporarily; upgrading infrastructure in camps; addressing the employment problems of the displaced; and interventions to improve their access to education and health care. This program is a positive step, signaling a significant shift in attitude and willingness on the part of the Government to give internally displaced persons the opportunity to escape their situation of perpetual dependency and resume their lives as productive citizens. This, in turn, can benefit the economic development of the country as a whole. The World Bank, the IMF and the Asian Development Bank have committed funds for this strategy, which should receive sustained international support.
The international community also has a role to play in advocating with the Government the need for legislative reform in certain areas. For instance, as I recommended in my report to the UN Commission on Human Rights, there is a need for the Government to amend regulations that place more onerous taxation obligations upon non-governmental organizations, which make such a critical contribution to assisting the displaced and promoting their rights.
The situation in Georgia, where there are some 260,000 internally displaced persons from the conflicts concerning Abkhazia and South Ossetia, bears certain similarities to that in Azerbaijan. In particular, the Government's pursuit of the goal of return, which in Georgia, as in Azerbaijan, is also shared by the overwhelming majority of the displaced, has for many years been so absolute as to deny displaced persons the ability to enjoy their full rights as citizens and lead productive lives in the interim. While supporting the right of the displaced to return in safety and dignity to their areas of origin, I stressed with the Government the importance of enabling internally displaced persons to live in dignity and lead productive lives in their current place of residence. In particular, urgent attention needed to be given to improving the living conditions of internally displaced persons, especially those living in collective centers and even hospital wards, which are overcrowded, dilapidated and were never designed as long-term residences. Entitlements already provided for in Georgian law, such as the monthly stipend to internally displaced persons, also needed to become a reality -- many internally displaced persons informed me that they had not received this modest, but critical, support for several months. Equal access to public services such as education and medical care, to land, and support for income-generating opportunities also was needed to enable the displaced to become more self-reliant.
I very much welcomed the initiative of the "New Approach to IDP Assistance in Georgia" adopted by the Government in 2000, in partnership with UNDP, UNHCR, the World Bank and OCHA, as it was inline with the recommendations I had made on the similar situation in Azerbaijan. A key component of the New Approach is the Georgia Self-Reliance Fund, which is a pilot-project offering micro-credit and employment opportunities to internally displaced persons in their current place of residence. Implementation of the New Approach, however, has faced several delays for administrative, financial and political reasons, such that to date the number of internally displaced persons to have benefited remains relatively small. Nonetheless, it is an innovative initiative that should be encouraged and expanded. This is particularly true in light of the report just a few months ago of the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights which referred to "the deplorable situation" of internally displaced persons in Georgia, noting that the Government's "efforts to provide basic services to this disadvantaged group...have succeeded only partially in alleviating the most basic needs of internally displaced persons, particularly with regard to employment, social security, adequate housing, access to water, electricity, basic services and to education." Clearly, greater effort is needed to ensure implementation of the New Approach and for the Government and international community to have the funds necessary to do so.
Another concern in Georgia to which I drew attention in my 1998 mission report related to the problems that internally displaced persons faced in exercising their political rights. Specifically, internally displaced persons were unable to vote in parliamentary elections for local representatives from the district where they were residing without forfeiting the entitlements and assistance they received as internally displaced persons. In 2000, a group of displaced persons sought to challenge Georgia's law on parliamentary elections on the grounds that it was discriminatory and therefore in violation of the Constitution as well as relevant international standards, in particular the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The Constitutional Court, however, held that the Constitutional provision concerning the right of citizens to participate in elections shall not be applied in an "extraordinary" situation and that the election law can establish a different rule concerning participation by displaced persons. In effect, this meant that internally displaced persons could not vote for local candidates in the areas in which they currently reside, even though they have resided in these areas for a decade--hardly a temporary or "extraordinary" situation.
The reasons for this restriction were not legal, but political. First, it was feared that if the displaced persons were to have a stake in the political processes in the areas where they resided, this would encourage their local integration and they would consequently lose the impetus to return to the territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia (currently outside the Government's control). However, there is no objective reason why displaced persons should not be able to vote for the representative of the area in which they reside, and without in any way relinquishing their right to freedom of movement and right to return. Second, the concern has been raised that in a number of districts displaced persons outnumber the local population and could therefore unduly determine the outcome - an argument which runs counter to the principles of democracy. Those in favor of restricting voting rights also contended that internally displaced persons from Abkhazia already have political representation in parliament, through the deputies of the Abkhaz Government-in-Exile. These representatives, however, were last elected in 1990. In keeping with the right to political participation, internally displaced persons should be able to exercise and renew their rights to political participation on a regular basis. Moreover, according to the Georgian Constitution, international treaties ratified by Georgia take precedence over domestic law.
At the Commission on Human Rights in 2001, the representative of Georgia stated that the Government took very seriously the recommendation made in my mission report that internally displaced persons be given the right to participate fully in the civil and political decision-making processes that affect their lives. He reported that the Parliament of Georgia had set up a special commission for elaborating new amendments to the election law which would include a stipulation that internally displaced persons shall not be discriminated against as a result of their displacement in the enjoyment of the right to vote and to participate in governmental and public affairs. Last spring, the Government reiterated this view to the UN Human Rights Committee, which monitors implementation of the ICCPR, and with which my office had also raised this concern. I was pleased to learn that the electoral code in Georgia has indeed been amended to enable internally displaced persons to participate fully in parliamentary elections as well as to vote in municipal elections. Local groups nonetheless point to the need for monitoring mechanisms to ensure that these important amendments are consistently implemented and observed. The OSCE could, in its election monitoring activities, play a valuable role in this regard.
Another key issue is that of property restitution or compensation and the need for national legislation on this issue. Several years ago, the OSCE began encouraging and assisting the Government of Georgia to draft a law on restoration and protection of housing and property rights for refugees and internally displaced persons. Since restoration of property and housing rights is a key issue in the negotiations seeking an end to the conflicts, this initiative is critical not only for the displaced themselves but for the broader conflict-resolution efforts. At a legal roundtable convened in Tbilisi last year, Government officials emphasized that the issue of property restitution should be regulated by law and made reference to the draft law. It is now critically important to finalize and adopt such a law and to apply it to both the Abkhazia and South Ossetia displacement situations. It would be valuable if the U.S. Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe could encourage the Government in this regard.
Finally on the South Caucasus, I would like to say a few words about Armenia, which also has a problem of internal displacement that is intrinsically linked to displacement problems in other parts of the South Caucasus, in particular Azerbaijan. Government figures put the number of internally displaced at some 192,000 persons, of which some 100,000 were displaced as a result of the devastating earthquake of 1998, 10,000 as a result of mudslides, 10,000 as a result of (unspecified) human-made disasters, and 72,000 displaced by the military hostilities in areas bordering Azerbaijan. Independent assessments suggest that the number of conflict-induced internally displaced is lower--around 50,000, which is still significant.
When I undertook a mission to the country in 2000, I found that while those internally displaced by the earthquake and disasters were a focus of considerable attention by both the Government and the international community, the needs of persons displaced by conflict had been largely overlooked. Even basic facts such as their location and needs were unknown. President Kocharian himself acknowledged that inadequate attention had been paid to their plight, noting that the conflict-induced displaced in Armenia had been "forgotten people." I was therefore very pleased that one effect of my visit was the raising of awareness among the Government and the international agencies present in the country of the particular needs and vulnerabilities of this group of people.
My visits to internally displaced communities in the border regions confirmed that many of their most basic needs were not being met. Shelter conditions were clearly inadequate. For example, I visited people who had been living for twelve years in iron containers that had been intended strictly as emergency shelter. I spoke with an elderly woman who said she was compelled to live in a barn amongst livestock because her home had been severely damaged by shelling and required repair. Continued sporadic shelling impeded safe movement and farmland remained heavily mined. Access to health care was limited. Schools had been destroyed and there were children not going to school at all. It was reported that only one in five internally displaced persons in the border areas was employed.
As I told the UN Commission on Human Rights, there is a need for the Government of Armenia to make the plight of its conflict-induced internally displaced population a national priority and to develop a national policy for addressing their needs. One focus for such a policy would need to be supporting the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the border areas so that internally displaced persons who choose to return can do so in conditions of safety and dignity. At the time of my mission, the Department for Migration and Refugees had drafted a project with this aim. The Government indicated to me that it would welcome international support for this undertaking.
More generally, there is a need for a comprehensive assessment of the location, needs and intentions of the displaced, whether to return or resettle elsewhere in the country. Last year, the Norwegian Refugee Council began a "mapping exercise" to identify the location and needs of the conflict-induced displaced. It is working closely with the Government on this initiative which is due to be completed by early 2004. It will be important for the Government to make use of the results of this analysis in order to most effectively target assistance to meet the needs of the displaced.
In addition, at a legal roundtable in Yerevan in October 2001, in which Government officials participated, and which was co-organized by the Brookings Project together with the OSCE, it was recommended that the Government formulate and enact a law on internally displaced persons. Local legal experts pointed out that it would be important for such a law to contain a clear definition of who is an "internally displaced person" as there has been misunderstanding about this in Armenia. It would be helpful for the U.S. Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe to inquire with the Government as to its plans to formulate such a law and also identify whether any assistance, such as technical legal assistance, is required of the international community.
In the North Caucasus region of the Russian Federation, the plight of persons displaced by the conflict in Chechnya--currently estimated at over 300,000--has been of increasing concern to the international community and to my mandate. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to visit the region since the new wave of conflict began in 1999. Between 2000 and 2002, I made several requests to Russian authorities to undertake a mission to Chechnya and Ingushetia, where most of the internally displaced in the region are found. Concurrently, in 2000 and 2001, the UN Commission on Human Rights passed resolutions calling upon the Russian government to facilitate such a mission. In 2002, the Russian authorities approved the mission in principle, but it was then postponed indefinitely for "security reasons." In April of this year, however, Russian authorities informed me that they are now prepared to receive my mission towards the end of this year. We are currently in discussions about dates and I am hopeful that the mission will now go forward.
Although I am not in a position to give this Commission first-hand information on the problem, I will share some of the concerns that have been brought to my attention and which I hope to be able to address in direct dialogue with the relevant authorities in Russia. One of the most pressing concerns that I hope to raise with the authorities pertains to the security and sustainability of returns of internally displaced persons to Chechnya. An equally important and related matter is the right of the internally displaced to choose whether or not they wish to return or resettle elsewhere. In July and December 2002, Russian authorities were reported to have closed tent camps in northern Chechnya and Ingushetia respectively. Senior United Nations officials, including the High Commissioner for Refugees, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, expressed their grave concerns about these camp closures. Under-Secretary General Kenzo Oshima in particular emphasized that "[r]eturns can only be considered voluntary if no risk exists to returnees' life, safety, liberty, or health" and that "IDPs considering return must be given options, including the possibility of staying in their current place of sojourn or resettling in other parts of the Russian Federation of their choice." In my dialogue with Government officials during the mission, I hope to discuss with the authorities due respect for these principles. Finally, I would hope to look into the conditions of return and the adequacy of the existing infrastructure in Chechnya to accommodate the displaced, for instance in terms of housing as well as economic opportunities.
I would also like to draw attention to a number of issues that were raised last year at a seminar on internal displacement in the Russian Federation in which I participated and which was sponsored by the Brookings Institution Project on Internal Displacement, the Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Partnership on Migration. Participants pointed to the need for a greater focus of Russian law on the internally displaced, noting that current legislation only addressed the broader category of "forced migrants" which includes citizens and non-citizens as well as persons inside and outside Russian territory. From the standpoint of effective protection, the internally displaced "got lost among the other categories of forced migrants," and some were excluded from coverage, notably those displaced from their homes but remaining inside their own republic. Participants also noted that Russian institutions dealing with migration were undergoing a significant change, with greater emphasis and authority being delegated to local officials who sometimes lacked the necessary experience and expertise on displacement issues. On the policy level, seminar participants called upon the Russian authorities to ensure that plans for durable solutions include not only return, but also the possibility of resettlement, as well as effective mechanisms for property restitution or compensation.
Turning to south-eastern Turkey, internal displacement there arose from the armed clashes, generalized violence, and human rights abuses associated with what the Government and the OSCE characterized as the "terrorist" activities of the Kurdistan Worker's Party or "PKK" and the Government's own counter-insurgency operations from 1985 to 1999. Estimates of the number of persons still displaced from their homes vary widely between several hundred thousand and more than a million. Many of these were "evacuated" by government forces, ostensibly for their own protection, while others fled instability and fighting between the PKK and the "village guards," a state-supported civil defense force of local Kurds formed to confront the PKK.
Most of the displaced have moved to urban areas, where they live in conditions of extreme poverty, suffering from inadequate heating, sanitation, health services, education and general infrastructure. Without compensation for their lost property, and unable to adapt their rural skills to the employment market in overcrowded cities where unemployment levels were already described as "disastrous," their immediate prospects for improving their own situation appeared to be very limited.
Although, in the past, the Government of Turkey has treated the displacement issue as an internal matter, in 2001, the Government responded positively to my request to undertake an official visit to the country. My mission took place in May 2002. During my visit, I found officials willing to engage in an open dialogue and determined to "heal the wounds" of the long conflict by encouraging the return or resettlement of the displaced. Nevertheless, as the new policy was still in the making, there were naturally gaps between policy statements and the actual response of the Government to the needs of the displaced.
The Government's "Return to Village and Rehabilitation Project," begun in 1999, has reportedly assisted approximately 80,000 displaced persons to return to date. However, there have been a number of concerns raised about the project. One concerns the degree to which the displaced are included in the planning of new settlements. The other relates to the tension between the need to centralize settlement patterns for the delivery of services and the traditional pattern of hamlet structures. Yet another concern relates to the slow progress of implementation. Moreover, it is alleged that participants in the project have been required to indicate the reason for their displacement on a form which does not include, as an option, displacement by the government itself. This has, however, been denied as a Government policy even though unauthorized local authorities might be engaged in such a practice.
More worrying were indications of interference by members of the village guards and other security forces, called jandarma, in the return process. Village guards are alleged to have been involved in the expropriation of the property of the displaced and in blocking their return in order to safeguard the stolen assets. I therefore recommended that they be disbanded or at least disarmed. The Government argues that it has a responsibility to find alternative employment for the village guards before disbanding them. It was also worth noting that former village guards were reportedly being granted preferential treatment in the return programs.
Given the time that will be needed to carry out an effective return program, I have urged the Government to devote greater attention and resources to the current needs of internally displaced persons. Although many of their social and economic problems also plague their host communities, the displaced have particular concerns in the areas of housing, health care and psychosocial care for women and children that should be addressed.
Perhaps the most glaring gap I found in Turkey was the lack of coordination between the Government and the international humanitarian and development organizations based in the country with regard to both current and long-term needs of the internally displaced. Mutual mistrust on this issue was high. Fearing that the Government was not concerned with the issue of internal displacement, international representatives chose not to involve themselves in the assistance and protection of the internally displaced to an appreciable extent. Indeed, even as I was negotiating a change of policy, they remained cautious. My discussions with Turkish authorities were productive and have increased my confidence that they will move forward with my recommendation to begin holding meetings with UN and NGO representatives with an eye to bridging the gap between the declared new policy and performance on the ground.
By the same token, I have encouraged the international community to take advantage of the opportunity that now exists to bring effective and coordinated assistance to the internally displaced of Turkey. I have recommended to the Secretary-General and humanitarian and development officials that UN agencies operating in the country develop a unified strategy on how they might support the Government in addressing the situation of internal displacement. Likewise, I have recommended to senior officials at the World Bank that they consider targeting their intervention in the country to more effectively address the issues of the internally displaced. The OSCE could play an important role in encouraging effective national and international responses in this direction. Doing so would significantly benefit the internally displaced in Turkey and, in turn, contribute to the stability and unity of the country as a whole.
In conclusion, I would like to reiterate my appreciation for the attention which the U.S. Commission for Security and Cooperation in Europe is giving to the problem of internal displacement in the OSCE region. As responsibility for internally displaced persons lies first and foremost with their Governments, it is incumbent upon the Government in each of the affected countries in the region to devote attention, resources and political will to address the protection, assistance and development needs of their internally displaced populations. The OSCE, for its part, should be encouraged to do all it can to ensure that this is done. My colleague, Roberta Cohen, Co-Director of the Brookings-SAIS Project on Internal Displacement, will discuss specific steps that the OSCE could take in this regard. I would just note in closing today, as indeed I do in all of my mission reports, that durable solutions to the crisis of internal displacement will require addressing not only the protection, assistance and development needs of the displaced, but also the root causes of conflicts, in particular the social, political and economic cleavages from which they stem. In this and all aspects, effective responses to the global crisis of internal displacement require a multi-dimensional approach that engages actors at all levels, from local through regional to global.
Thank you.

I have tested both CalDAV and Subscribed calendar accounts and received different experiences in regards to reminders and mounted calendars.
CalDAV gives a "read only view" with updates to whatever calendar accounts we have mounted on the Zimbra web client. With CalDAV, I receive meeting reminders from calendars that I subscribe to along with my own. A co-worker tested this on his iPhone and had the same results.
Here is the URL we use for CalDAV account:
Subscribed calendars account are "read only" as well, and they work fine because there is an option to turn off meeting reminders in each account. Subscribed calendars do require that you setup each individual calendar account while CalDAV simply imports the same calendars that one has mounted on the web client.
Here is the URL we use for Subscribed calendar accounts:
Has any one with iPhone 3.x using CalDAV had this issue or is there something I am missing ? I am not the server admin and working with CalDAV and Subscribed is new to me. Is this normal behavior for CalDAV and iPhone?
My goal is trying to get the mounted calendar functionality of CalDAV and the ability to disable reminders like in Subscribed calendars, all in one package. The CalDAV account would be great if we could disable the meeting reminders on mounted calendars like with Subscribed calendars.

Trey Hillman Pregame Media Session: Tejeda, Cruz
Round 2!
Royals pitcher Robinson Tejeda is looking to keep the momentum going tonight against the Detroit Tigers after his very impressive outing vs. Los Angeles last Friday night (5.1 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 6 SO). This will be his second start of the season, so Manager Trey Hillman says this start should be a little different. "I don't anticipate a different outcome with his performance, it's how his body responds to the pressure of starting two games in six days that should be interesting. We are going to monitor him like any other pitcher on this team, but will be watching closely to see how he recovers more so than with other starters. Again, we are not putting a pitch count on Robinson, but we will be watching to see how he is feeling as he gets closer to 80-85 pitches, if that so happens. This is the first time in quite a while he will be making consecutive starts, so it is important to see how his body rebounds and that he conveys to us how he is feeling at that time.
Juan Cruz
Royals reliever Juan Cruz has been on the Disabled List since August 6 with a right shoulder strain, but he might be back sooner then later according to Hillman. "He has had a couple of bullpen sessions that consisted of a heavy diet of nothing but fastballs. Juan has been throwing long toss without discomfort or pain in that shoulder which is encouraging. We are trying to increase the strength in that right shoulder so we can get him in the bullpen on back-to-back days, which is critical. I don't know when he will be available, but once we see that shoulder can withstand continued pressure for consistent days in a row, then we'll know he is ready, but until then, he's just rehabbing at a pace our team is comfortable with."

Trey Hillman Media Session: September 10
Gil Meche
Royals starter Gil Meche has inflammation in his right shoulder possibly leading him to have made his last appearance of the 2009 season. "We are going to continue to treat Gil as if he will pitch again this season, however it is quite possible he will not pitch again this year. I am going to monitor how his throwing and catching sessions go and we will see how his body responds to the activity. On a side note, Brian Bannister is going to New York to get a second opinion on his right shoulder, which is quite customary for injured athletes. There is absolutely no timetable for Bannister's return," manager Trey Hillman stated.
What Can I do!
A reporter asked a wonderful question this afternoon, is there anything Hillman can do to try and improve his ace's (Zack Greinke) chances of attaining the Cy Young Award this season? "What a tremendous honor and accomplishment it would be for Zack, but this is still a team and I am not going to juggle my schedule to adhere to the possibilities of one individual. If there is something in my power with regards to a line-up, etc, I might do something like that, but I am not going to rearrange our priorities for the possibility of one player winning a post season award. No one is pulling for Zack more then me, I have a lot of pride and affection for him, but I don't want to diminish anything we have done this season as a team or organization.

Returning mine
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I had the double version of this but most of my pro's/con's still apply. Loved the light weight, volume, reflective surfaces, low price, and shoulder strap. What I was missing: separate compartments/pockets, zippers (however this one says it has zippers), and sleekness (quite bulky and my heels would occasionally hit it while pedaling). Also, I had about 9 inches of seams come undone after only about 3 months.
what are the internal dimensions?
what are the internal dimensions?
I measure 15" tall x 14" wide x 5" deep- which is more like 17L instead of the stated 13L. So yes- it could hold a case of beer in a pinch.

We moved some accounts from an old server to a ver7 zimbra server, and had to update their zimbra connector and change the server settings. updated 6.0.5 to 7.0.0
When the old connector was installed it created this no-name profile (seriously, nothing shows up when you go to control panel->mail under profiles) and nothing can be done, normally, to alter this profile. Outlook opens this profile no matter what. How can I change things so that I can pull up any profile of my choosing? Normally to fix this, I create a new user on the PC with fresh outlook settings, but that's not what I want to do this time.

GENEVA (AP) -- Cycling's governing body has agreed to strip Lance Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles and ban him for life.
UCI President Pat McQuaid announced Monday that the federation accepted the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's report on Armstrong and would not appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The decision clears the way for Tour de France organizers to officially remove Armstrong's name from the record books, erasing his consecutive victories from 1999-2005.
Tour director Christian Prudhomme has said the race would go along with whatever cycling's governing body decides and will have no official winners for those years.

I'm into different kinds of gaming. I like video games, MTG, tabletop games. I just joined because a character I have in a D&D campaign wants to build a castle. While I have no where near enough funds right now I could probably get it, my DM is nice like that I guess. This character is a cleric whose religion is actually Hylian, so the shape of the kingdom might be inspired by that in some way. I know little of architecture so may need some help getting a blue print made since my DM wants details. I'll look forward to talking to people and getting this project made.

The mission of the Office for Gender and Sexual Diversity (OGSD) is to work with all members of Tulane University to foster a climate of respect, understanding and appreciation for diverse genders, sexualities, cultures, and histories; to encourage critical thinking about gender and sexuality; to provide support and leadership development for students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, questioning, asexual, allies, (LGBTIQA) and gender non-conforming (GNC); and, to ensure an open and affirming learning environment, free of homophobia, heterosexism, transphobia, sexism, and other forms of gender- and sex-based bias and discrimination. OGSD works closely with the Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) to provide educational, social, and cultural opportunities that address the ways in which gender and sexuality intersect with race, ethnicity, class, nationality, dis/ability, and religious identifications.
Our Work
To accomplish our mission, we create a welcoming environment for all individuals who are interested in developing their understanding of gender and sexuality. We serve as a hub for social, cultural, academic, and intellectual resources. We provide mentorship, academic and career development, leadership opportunities, advising, advocacy and social justice trainings, a designated lounge and meeting space, social and cultural programming, critical dialogue and engagement, and internship opportunities.
We sponsor academic lectures, panels, and workshops on gender and sexuality-related issues. And, we provide campus-wide education, consultation, and workshops for faculty, staff and students. Past programs have focused on the role of sexuality in the Civil Rights movement; the criminalization and activism of people who identify as transgender; the history of LGBTIQA people in New Orleans; the relationship between LGBTIQA and asexual communities; and, the intersections of race and class with sexuality and gender.
We collaborate with administrators throughout the university to addresses issues of bias, harassment, and discrimination and to ensure that policies, facilities and programs are inclusive of gender and sexually diverse individuals. We work with community–based organizations, artists, and other universities in New Orleans to foster a citywide culture that respects and appreciates gender and sexual diversity. And, we conduct on-going campus climate assessments and evaluations of the Office and its service.

Welcoming Space
Whether on the uptown or downtown campus, you can expect Tulane University to be a welcoming and inclusive environment. There are four spaces, however, that serve as a hub for gender and sexual diversity on campus: The O, the Mosaic Lounge, and two Living Learning Communities: Mo' 5 and Willows of Culture. It is from these spaces that the Office for Gender and Sexual Diversity (OGSD) and LGBTIQA undergraduate student organizations meet, socialize, work, study, and live.
The O is a comfortable space on the garden level of the LBC that has couches and chairs for students to drop in and relax any time.

The Hunter was riding around cruising and he pulls into the local gas station. While pulling in he spots a chick with long sexy legs. He liked what he saw and was ready to strike. But he saw she was in a heated a feud with her EX so he had to chill and wait for the moment to strike. Knowing Hunter it was the old damsel in distress routine and he had the situation under control. After the dude left he knew it was time and made his move. Taraa was a little shaken up and a bit edgy. She explained what had happened and Hunter was all ears. He acted like he cared but knowing Hunter he was just probably thinking of what positions he was gonna fuck her in. He made her feel comfortable and offered a ride home. She resisted at first but she could resist the Hunter charm. She finally agreed to get in the pimp mobile and it was a done deal. He knew she wanted more than a ride so he took her to his place. There he had Taraa unwind . She stopped her whining let loose and was ready to play! Hunter is a fucking Genius!

This is a Paid Commission. The amount we are willing to pay is negotiable and we are willing to work with the designer to find a fair price for their work.
We recently funded our Kickstarter Campaign to produce our first entry into a new Role Playing world. The name of the game is Edara: A Steampunk Renaissance. You can find more information about the game at Edara: A Steampunk Renaissance | The official website for the tabletop role-playing game
We are looking for a skilled and professional artist to design a map of the main continent that the action in this rule book takes place in. Neither of us are cartographers or artists so the map designer would need to be able to take un-specific requests and comments and build it into a map. We want to be able to trust our designer to produce high quality work. We have hand sketched maps and very basic digitally made maps which we will share with the designer once involved in the project.
The art style within the book is pretty varied between renaissance artwork and steampunk design but for the map we were wanting to go more with the Renaissance style of map, though this can be negotiable if the designer wants to take their own approach. It would need to showcase terrain such as mountains, forests, lakes, and rivers. The world has very basic roads and one very basic train system. It also needs to point out notable cities within the world.
Quality & Size
The map would appear in both print and on the web. I can't tell you an exact size by pixels because to be honest I don't know the conversion. But it will be shown in both a two page spread, which would be two 8 1/2 by 11 pages with a small gap between for the binding, which would probably be about 1/2 inch. We also plan on showing the map in smaller pieces, focusing on each realm of the world. This wouldn't require new maps, just to be able to zoom in on a specific part of the map for print.
Time Constraints
The book is set to publish in May of 2014. We would LIKE to have all of the pieces together by February or March so that we have plenty of time to fix any errors that we come across. If it can be done faster, then good, but we don't want a rush job on our first project.
We would need to retain copyright for both print and web use, as well as for reprinting. If used in any other book printing outside of what we initially agree on (for instance if the book really takes off) we can discuss the use of the map and renegotiate any royalties. You will also retain the right to use the image of the map for promotional purposes, to sell prints at conventions, or to show case in your portfolio.
Contact Details
Please respond to us via email, which is edarathegame-at-gmail.com
Hope to hear from you soon,
Caelestis Designs.

MBDA Business Center Spotlight: Detroit
Created on June 14, 2013
Nestled on the banks of the Motor City's Detroit River where approximately one mile of water separates America with Canada, the Detroit MBDA Center uses the city's international urban flair to expand its clients' business reach across the globe, including to South Korea and Myanmar (formerly Burma).
To facilitate exporting opportunities with our free-trade partner South Korea, the Detroit MBDA Business Center is drafting a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Korea Importers Association (KOIMA). According to KOIMA, an organization comprised of 8,000 business members, Korea imported over $600 billion worth of goods and services in 2012 and expects to import close to $1 trillion dollars of goods and services in 2013. In partnership with KOIMA, the Detroit MBDA Business Center will pursue reverse trade missions with Korean companies to showcase U.S. minority-owned firms and promote business partnerships.
Unlike the well-established market of South Korea, Myanmar is an emerging market. A country rich in natural resources, it is geographically bordered by five countries including India and China. Acknowledging the recently signed United States and Myanmar bilateral trade and investment framework agreement, the Detroit Center secured meetings with the Ministers of Commerce, Construction, and senior officials of the Myanmar Chamber of Commerce. These meetings led to a MOU with the Myanmar Minister of Commerce that will be used to inform the MBDA Business Center network of the numerous export opportunities.
Pre-Registration Opens For SelectUSA 2013 Investment Summit
Created on June 14, 2013
Pre-registration is now open for the SelectUSA 2013 Investment Summit! This first-ever event will take place in Washington, DC on October 31 and November 1.
The two-day SelectUSA 2013 Investment Summit will connect international and domestic investors and firms with economic development organizations (EDOs) from across the country in an effort to promote investment here and support the creation of American jobs.
Through a series of presentations and panel discussions, Summit participants will hear from world-class business leaders, senior Administration officials, and industry and technical experts. The Summit will feature an exhibition area where EDOs can showcase their business opportunities. Participants will also learn what Federal resources are available for investing in the United States. Another key component of the Summit will be matchmaking sessions, with opportunities for extensive networking.
SelectUSA, located within the International Trade Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce, was established by President Obama in 2011. This Presidential initiative is charged with leading federal government efforts to promote the United Sates as the premier global investment destination and facilitate investment in the nation. SelectUSA provides counseling to the global investment community, serves as an ombudsman for investors, and advocates for U.S. cities, states, and regions competing for global investment.
Facts You Should Know About Direct Line for American Business
Created on June 10, 2013
Direct Line for American Business: Market Information U.S. Business Can Use
"Let me be very clear: more than ever, foreign policy is economic policy. One of the best things our diplomatic presences abroad can do is to advance our economic interests and help create jobs here at home." – Secretary of State John Kerry
With 96 percent of global consumers living outside the United States, exports are a great way to increase jobs and income here at home. Successful exporting requires accurate and up-to-the minute information on opportunities and market conditions abroad.
Direct Line to American Business
Direct Line lets U.S. business hear directly from our Ambassadors and our economic and commercial experts at over 260 Embassies and Consulates in over 190 countries. Our staffs are trained to identify promising market sectors and to help U.S. exporters capitalize on new opportunities.
Working Together with Indian Country
Created on June 5, 2013
Last month, Acting Secretary of Commerce Rebecca Blank signed the "Tribal Consultation and Coordination Policy," (PDF) which establishes the manner in which the Department works with federally-recognized Indian tribes when developing Department policies that have tribal implications.
The Consultation Policy follows from President Obama's Presidential Memorandum on Tribal Consultation from November 2009 which strengthens former President Bill Clinton's Executive Order on "Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments" (PDF). Upon signing, President Obama stated the importance of the Presidential Memorandum: "History has shown that failure to include the voices of tribal officials in formulating policy affecting their communities has all too often led to undesirable and, at times, devastating and tragic results. By contrast, meaningful dialogue between Federal officials and tribal officials has greatly improved Federal policy toward Indian tribes."

GMPP 383 Crate Engine Install - Weekend UpdateWritten by on January 4, 2012 Installing a Great Crate
For me, it's always exciting when I get a chance to spend some time on my '57 Chevy project. Staying as close to on-time with the production of Classic Trucks as I can often rules out garage time, but I've been able to get out there for a few days over the last week or so. Taking advantage of that garage time, I finally installed the pickup's engine and transmission.
You may recall me mentioning that I was planning to use one of GMPP's E-Rod LS packages. Well, as usual, my plans have changed. I actually rethought the cost/benefit of that choice and decided that I'd be smarter, and just as happy, installing one of their HT-383 crate engines rather than the E-Rod LS1.
The HT-383 is a big-inch small-block that produces a whopping amount of low-end torque. And since the '57 is destined to not only be a daily driver but a tow vehicle as well, that torque will come in handy. And speaking of torque, GM states the HT-383 offers an impressive 435 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm and 400 lb-ft at 2,500 rpm—more than enough for the '57 to pull a 27-foot travel trailer with ease.
Since the Tri-Five Chevys offered a V-8 option, the installation of the small-block was pretty easy. Though, since I went and modified the pickup's chassis with the installation of an aftermarket street rod-style IFS setup, I did make the V-8 install a bit less straightforward than it would have been. Since I receive lots of queries regarding the build, I promised I'd get my butt in gear and show you how it's coming along … so here it goes. It may not be real exciting but every time I get to bring the project closer to the road it's a big deal to me, so bare with me and check out this latest step in the long process that is building a home-brewed classic pickup.

Before getting my hands on the new HT-383, I used an old small-block 350 I had on hand (for one of my other projects) to get a head start on the install. As I stated earlier (and as anyone who's been following my project knows), I'd replaced the original solid axle leaf spring front suspension for a Total Cost Involved street rod-style IFS setup. The aftermarket crossmember and suspension components made engine installation a bit more interesting so the head start really helped facilitate the final engine install.I had originally ordered a V-8 engine mount kit from Speedway Motors. The kit I'd ordered was designed specifically for a V-8 swap in a '55 to '59 Chevy pickup. Unfortunately, my messing with the original chassis design ended up requiring me to modify the mount kit so it'd work in my application (as a matter of fact, you'll be able to check out that process elsewhere in this issue).Once I'd finished using the 350 and trans to pre-setup the engine and trans mounts, I pulled out the duo and set it aside so I'd be ready for the new HT-383 when it arrived.The GM Performance Parts HT-383 has been specifically engineered for low-rpm torque, and it's packed with durable parts that are all brand-new. It produces 435 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm, but more importantly, it produces more than 400 lb-ft of weight-moving torque from 2,500 rpm all the way up to its 4,000 rpm peak. The bottom end has a 383 stroker forged steel crankshaft, heavy-duty rods, and hypereutectic pistons. The block is cast iron with four-bolt main caps. The brand new HT-383 is a great alternative to salvage and rebuilt engines. Once installed, the HT-383 should make it possible for me to look forward to that big hill or long haul.The first thing I did once the engine was uncrated was to give it a once-over to make sure all was well and there was no shipping damage. All was well so I ripped open the paperwork that came with the engine and sat down to give it a read through.After reading the spec and instruction sheets I was ready to begin prepping the 383 for installation.Since I wanted the whole truck to have a traditional look, I followed that style by painting the fresh engine with a few coats of Chevrolet Orange engine paint. As you can see, I even painted the aluminum four-barrel intake as well. As you'll notice, I didn't bother scuffing and squirting the valve covers—you'll see why shortly.Once the paint had time to dry, I lifted it off of the shipping pallet and threw a few coats of Chevy Orange on the oil pan to finish up the painting end of the prep. After that had time to dry, I then rolled the hoist and engine around to the side of the garage so I could attach the new transmission.With the price difference between the E-Rod package and the HT-383 being what it was, I was able to pick up a GM factory remanufactured 4L60E and electronic controller to go along with the crate engine. The transmission came complete with a torque converter too, so I was ready to mate the two right off the bat.
Since I do nearly all my work singlehandedly, my Harbor Freight gantry crane and electric hoist come in really handy. As you can see, I used it to pick up and hold the tranny as I lined it up and attached it to the 383.Next, I picked up the engine/trans combo and rolled it back around to the front of my massive (LOL) garage and began to slide the assembly into place.After bolting everything in place it was time to start installing a few of the components for the engine that I had on hand.The first were the Headers. To be honest, it took me two try's to find a set that'd work with the rack-and-pinion IFS I'd installed. The first fit fine but were directly in the way of the steering shaft. The second try were these nice, coated Doug's headers (PN D317, listed for use in a Chevy II, I believe). These were nearly perfect, allowing a good straight shot for the steering shaft to run from the column to the rack.You'll notice I said nearly perfect—there was one tube that the steering shaft just barely hit when installed. So, I pulled the left side header back off after marking it where the shaft was touching the header tube. I then laid the header down on a sheet of cardboard (to save the ceramic finish as best I could) and heated the marked area on the tube with my torches. Once the spot was nice and red, I grabbed an extra section of 3/4-double-D steering shaft and used it as a die between the header tube and a two-pound hammer. A couple of good whacks and I had a perfect indentation that was perfectly sized for shaft clearance.Next, I sprayed the heated and dented section of the header tube with a few coats of ceramic header coating (a VHT spray bomb) I had on the shelf hoping it'd stand up a fraction as well as the Doug's coating—hey, I can wish can't I?
Next, came one of my favorite parts of the 383 install—the unwrapping and addition of my cool cast aluminum Corvette valve covers from PML. These covers are awesome. They fit perfectly, are super high-quality, and are manufactured with oil filler/breather/PCV holes in the upper inner surfaces of the castings.The machine work on these valve covers is great and the gasket grooves accept factory rubber GM gaskets perfectly. The hex-head counter sunk stainless mounting bolts fit the factory mounting points perfectly as well.Here you can see the breather hole and insert on the right side valve cover and a small portion of the grommet on the left side. The location of these make for a much cleaner, early-style look but the one trade off will be slower oil filling via a flexible-tube funnel since there's no top surface oil filler hole. Definitely worth the trade off for me!One of my last chores for the day was the addition of a new Summit Racing 650cfm four-barrel carburetor. I've used these Summit carbs on other projects (most recently on the Ford X-302 in my '29 Model-A pickup) with great results. These Summit carbs are easy to tune and offer great throttle response, too.And there you have it. My latest weekend in the garage has me one step closer to the culmination of this project. Though there's a lot of work to go, at least the summer event season is winding down leaving me with a lot less travel time and hopefully more garage time instead. Keep your eyes peeled for more on my '57 Chevy project in the future (or even in this very issue as well.

Lucinda Williams, born in Lake Charles and the daughter of former Lousiana poet laureate Miller Williams, brings her unique mixture of rock, blues, country, and Americana to this NPR Music Tiny Desk concert.
This video is an entertaining and hilarious romp, even if somewhat a contradiction in terms, being an "official" music video by the New Orleans street band Yes Ma'am. FWIW, it's a bit naughty and NSFW, including, among other things, some recreational drug use, a ton of twerking and the troubling decapitation of live crawfish. Enjoy, and happy new year.
WWOZ show hosts have eclectic tastes and personalities, but one thread runs through them all-- a big love for music and New Orleans. They also tend to know where the party's at whether you're looking for brass, blues, jazz, rock, performance art, or anything else.
Maria Muldaur and David Torkanowsky, "Don't You Feel My Leg"
Maria Muldaur and David Torkanowsky performed "Don't You Feel My Leg" during our recent Fall Fund Drive. They did not know beforehand that we were now videotaping live shows, but they were gracious enough to allow us to film them in street clothes.
Tonight from midnight to 3am Sunday, "Mr. Boring" will convert his always-sleep-inducing personality into the power of hypnotism.
Join guest host Alski on the Block Party this week with special guest dj Tarik from the land of Prince. A transplanted local, he is a show host at our sister station in Minneapolis KFAI. Tarik will be doing a dj set spinning rare and funky 45's.

I worte to a Sales represente asking him the following:
To: email@example.com
Sent: Monday, 30 April, 2012 8:45:57 AM
Subject: Zimbra testing
Dear Mr. Fred Freemantle,
Thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to test ZCS network.
I have some concerns about ZCS. Actually we are running ZCS already since 2009. We were using most of the features that are provided with Network edition, especially Outlook connector.
But during the last months, we got some reclamation from our clients that Outlook connector from ZCS 6 NE did not work on Office 2010. Therefore I hunted for a new version, this trail version that I ask for and tested this with Office 2010. After successful testes, I went to upgrade our production ZCS server to 7.1.4 and during the upgrade I used our license, that we used since all the time on the ZCS 6.
The upgrade was just a matter o backups, install and fixing small issues. After upgrade all 6 client domains were working fine, with exception to Outlook connector. We running 500 user license and about 40% of our users were using Outlook connector. This is quite a huge problem. What I did, were asking the clients to use the Webmail, but users are still not satisfied. They may use a webmail from gmail for they personal communication, but they do not accept this for business communication.
Just let me summaries:
Same license used in ZCS 6 upgrade to ZCS 7.1.4 and Outlook connector does not work anymore.
Should I go back to ZCS 6 and tell my clients that Zimbra do not support office 2010 outlook? Should I convince my manager to change to MS-Exchange? If so could you provide technical assistance to migrate from ZCS to MS Exchange 2010?
Sorry, may be you are not the right contact for this issue, but kindly could you forward this email to a department, which could me give a helping hand.
Please find annexed to this mail the license files. I hope this license assure technical assistance to migrate to Exchange.
Kindly Regards,
Network Admin
Actually he answers to his sales problems not to the issue Vmware has create to all the companies that were using Zimbra as backend to outlook and now facing the same problem we do.
Have a look to this :
As explained in my previous email on this, your licenses with VMware Zimbra is Standard Edition licenses, and have been Standard Edition licenses since you originally purchased licenses with Zimbra. These licenses were never meant to include the ability to use Microsoft Outlook, please see the comparison of features included with the Standard and Professional edition licenses here: Zimbra - Compare Products
Fundamentally it appears that this functionality was included in your previous licenses as a license production error in previous editions. The only alternative resolution to this is to upgrade the licenses to Professional where users require this functionality, this could be for a specific group of users in your pool of 500 licenses or for all licenses if they all require this functionality.
Upgrades from Standard Edition licenses to Professional licenses means that we will charge with the difference is costs between the two versions.
Please advise on how you would like to proceed in resolving this.
Kind Regards

I started to think about this after the recent reputation "adjustment". It seemed weird that you would lose reputation when a question is deleted (or an answer you posted with upvotes gets merged into a comment).
Obviously those contributions (questions or answers) had some value to somebody at one time - otherwise they wouldn't have been upvoted. It is my fault that some question I asked 3 years ago - which was popular at the time - is no longer relevant or doesn't meet the current direction of the website? Or that I answered a question which was later deleted or deemed to be a duplicate of another. My answer still got up votes so it was useful to someone.
I guess what I'm most angry about is that some of my contributions to this community have been treated like scrap, with their existence permanently expunged from the record. The loss of reputation is minor when compared to the lost of my activity in this community. For many of my answers and questions, I've spent a lot of time communicating what I've done or my thought processes. Some of my intent was that I could direct prospective employers to my "body of work" to see what I've done, my experience, and my thought processes. My StackOverflow contributions have mostly taken the place of my blog posts which used to serve the same purpose. Now I'm thinking that my approach has been wrong and I should direct most of my efforts to my blog instead of Stackoverflow - where I can be the sole judge of when to expire my content. I don't believe that any content with upvotes should be able to be removed by anyone other than the originator of the content.
I do happen to believe that the current moderation process is too heavy handed at times and I don't really understand why StackOverflow needed to be subdivided into Programmers, but this permanent loss of "thought content" seems absurd - and I'm wondering if I should continue to contribute.

If you're reading this, chances are that you are considering traveling with your pet bird by car or by plane. Choosing a carrier cage may seem daunting at first, but follow our handy guide to narrow your choices and zoom in on the bird carrier that suits your travel needs.
Car, plane and bird backpacks are made in different styles. For instance pet carriers for plane use have very specific requirements and are different than those used in over the road transportation.
Make sure that the carrier fits comfortably in the back seat of your vehicle and that it can be secured with a seat belt or bungee cord. You want the cage to be big enough to allow your bird to move about but not so large that your bird can thrash about if it becomes frightened.
For large birds, such as Macaw's, make sure the actual carrier fits in the back seat and that it can be restrained with either a belt buckle or a strap of some sort Once you know what size of carrier you need, consider how hot the back seat may get. Do you need to cover your windows to screen out direct sunlight? You can use sun shades that may be purchased int the baby department of your local Target or Walmart.
Like any animal, you don't want to leave your bird unattended in the car, especially in the summer. Your bird can become over-heated or it can even be stolen. Look for a well-ventilated carrier that is easy put in and take out of the car.
Are You Staying In A Hotel With Your Bird?
There are two options when shopping for a carrier for airline travel. Cargo or incabin.
In cabin carriers must be a specific size to fit under the seat in front of you. There are currently three models available, a hard-sided carriers such as the Cabin Kennel and Crystal Shuttle. There is a high quality soft-sided In Cabin Kennel that can expand for comfort yet collapse as needed to fit under the seat during flight, as well.
Airline Approved Cargo Carriers are a different story. The carrier must meet IATA guidelines that are in place to minimize risk of death due to poor ventilation or luggage slamming up against it. The carrier must be able to hold a perch, food and water cups. Individual airlines each have their own safety requirements. The only bird specific cargo approved carrier at the time of this writing is the Wingabago when used with the optional stainless steel door. A lot of people purchase a thick sided cargo carrier such as the Sky Kennel and insert an after market perch.
These soft-sided carriers are designed to be carried on your back or front, slung over your shoulder. Remarkably well made, Pak O Bird Backpacks are incredibly functional offering the ability for a view and privacy. A bird that has been conditioned to ride in the Pak O Bird can enjoy any number of outings and social activities. These carriers fit nicely in the car, too.
