The Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) has a long history of displacement, which has resulted from the Israeli occupation of this areas and its policies intended to consolidate control over it. Despite international condemnation, the Israeli government's actions to acquire land and redefine demographic boundaries in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and its actions to assert military control over Gaza, have continued to cause forced displacement of Palestinians. Over 160,000 people have been internally displaced over the past four decades.
Since the second intifada or uprising in 2000, the number of Palestinians displaced or facing almost certain displacement has risen sharply. Some 90,000 people were in 2011 reportedly facing displacement as a result of restrictive and discriminatory planning, the revocation of their residency rights, the expansion of settlements and the construction of the West Bank Separation Wall.
As the occupying power, Israel is responsible under international humanitarian and human rights law for the welfare of the Palestinians and the territorial integrity of the OPT. Instead its policies have violated these in favour of the construction of settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. In 2011, the population of Jewish settlements in the OPT continued to increase, to over 500,000 settlers in the West Bank and almost 200,000 in East Jerusalem. The rate of construction of settlements continued to increase and the incidence of settler violence increased by 50 per cent from 2010.
Israeli authorities continued to demolish Palestinian houses in 2011 on the basis that they lacked building permits in line with Israeli domestic law. During the year, nearly 1,100 people, including over 600 children, were displaced by the demolition of their homes. The number of demolitions rose by 80 per cent from 2010, and they displaced twice the number of people.
According to OCHA, only about one per cent of the West Bank's Area C, which is fully controlled by Israel, is allocated for construction by Palestinians. But these small zones have already largely been built on, and applications for permits by Palestinians have consistently been rejected. Thus people there, whose movement is already drastically restricted, have no means of addressing a growing housing shortage.
70 per cent of Area C has been allocated to Israeli military or civilian purposes, including the building of settlements. The activities of the Israeli authorities there have affected an increasingly large number of people, as they have targeted structures essential to the continued existence of entire communities. In particular they have destroyed 46 wells and water-storage structures, 170 animal shelters, two classrooms and two mosques. Coupled with violence by settlers and movement restrictions, these policies have severely affected the livelihoods of about 4,200 Palestinians.
In East Jerusalem, an area that was illegally annexed by Israel in 1967, displacement continued in 2011 as the authorities continued to work towards securing a Jewish majority of at least 60 per cent according to the "Jerusalem 2000" master plan. Under the plan, 13 per cent of land has been allocated for Palestinian construction and 35 per cent to settlers. Victims of demolitions were even charged the costs of the demolition and security staff, causing numerous Palestinians to end up demolishing their own houses. Finally, according to Israeli law, properties in East Jerusalem whose owners reside in the West Bank may become property of the state, since they are considered to be inside Israeli territory and the owner outside it.
Palestinian communities have no means of participating in planning decisions that directly affect them, and face prohibitively expensive and bureaucratic procedures to object to plans already established. People in Area C of the West Bank have to take any requests to the Civil Administration, which is in a military base inside the settlement of Beit Il, and so embedded among the principal agents of displacement and violence.
In Gaza, people remained displaced and in need of humanitarian support, three years after the Israeli army's "Cast Lead" operation of 2007 and 2008. Over 6,000 houses were completely destroyed or suffered major damage during the operation. At the end of 2011, humanitarian agencies had only been able to rebuild about 1,500 of them. They had not been able to provide shelter to more than 2,900 families whose homes had already been destroyed prior to the operation, or to over 5,600 Palestinian refugee families who were still living in inadequate shelters. After "Cast Lead", ongoing military incursions and air strikes destroyed or damaged over 6,900 more homes in Gaza by 2011. With the population growing, an estimated 75,000 additional homes were needed.
Human rights and humanitarian organisations have long called for displacement in OPT to be addressed and have warned of the continuing impact of Israeli policies. As of 2011, the international community's response remained limited to condemnations which had not been followed by any actions.

Over 60 nations to attend U.S. investment summit in October
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—U.S. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker announced September 12 that businesses, investors and government entities from more than 60 countries will participate in the SelectUSA 2013 Investment Summit October 31–November 1 in Washington.
Every region of the world will be represented at this first-of-its-kind event, the Commerce Department said in a news release.
The two-day event will connect investors with local, state and regional economic development organizations.
"We are delighted that more than 60 countries will be represented at the SelectUSA Summit in Washington, D.C., where they will have the opportunity to learn why the United States is the premier investment location," Pritzker said.
"This broad interest in the summit is a testament to the interest of companies, investors and government entities in doing businesses here in America. We're planning a very productive agenda for summit participants to discuss investment opportunities, network and learn about the U.S. investment climate and available resources."
The Department of Commerce recently announced that four members of President Obama's Cabinet will be participating: Secretary of Commerce Pritzker, Secretary of State John Kerry, Secretary of the Treasury Jack Lew and U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman. Also in the speaker lineup are the chief executive officers of BlackRock, Bloomberg L.P., Caterpillar Inc., Dow Chemical Company, Siemens Corporation and Wal-Mart U.S.
To date, economic development organizations in 42 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico will be participating in the summit. As an integral part of the summit, they will be prepared to discuss their investment attraction strategies with potential investors.
"Foreign investment in the United States is a win for American jobs and a win for those who invest here," said Secretary Kerry. "We offer the world's best infrastructure and the world's leading workforce to investors who want access to the world's most attractive and stable market for high-quality goods and services."

It would be nice if it was possible to specicy in account settings whether to use AD/LDAP/whatever specified in the domain's authentication settings or just auth this user against the internal database. Would also allow admin access in case something happens with the LDAP backend.
This would be very handy for quick'n'dirty mailboxes without needing to create the accounts in the main user database.


text:
we use the network edition 8.0.2.
Is it possible, that users can edit their contact data like phone numbers and addresses?
I tried this using a galsync account with InternalGAL. This addressbook is shared with all users. I had to set the pollinginterval to 0d, because I don't want admin backend data overwrites the edited contacts.
But the problem right now is, that i cannot search for edited or new created contacts in GAL and mobile phone.
How can I solve this? Maybe using a LDAP server?
Thanks for responding!

I distinctly remember someone talking recently about dominating the ATP World Tour again. Ah yes - that was Roger Federer.
The Swiss stylist may have to rethink that statement after suffering a third consecutive defeat to defending champion Andy Murray (fourth if you count Fed's loss to the Brit baller at the Abu Dhabi exo that is) in Doha today. After winning the first set, Fed went down meekly in the last two and lost 7-6 (6), 2-6, 2-6. The 21-year will look to retain his title when he battles American Andy Roddick in the final.
But back to Rog: The 13-time Grand Slammer can now definitively count two ballers, Andy and top baller Rafael Nadal, who own him outright. The World No.4 now holds a 5-2 lead and Rafa can boast a 12-6 lead in their respective head-to-heads. Novak Djokovic, the remaining baller in the Top 4, is down in their series 2-7.
As I said before, I believe Fed's dominating days are over. Of course, someone of his caliber will always be in the mix as long as he continues to play and we, not to mention the game, will be better for it. But he'll most likely have to face Rafa, Andy, or both at any tourney he enters not to mention Nole and a plethora of young, up-and-comers who may hold reverence, but not fear, of the Mighty Fed.
Big winning is a hard habit to break and it will probably take a huge mental shift for the Swiss to accept it. But at this stage, I don't think he has a choice.

THE LOW DOWN: Fed upended by Murray again - will he finally face the inevitable?

He has to accept it. All these "youngsters" he's trounced on for years are now mentally stronger and physically stronger and it's not such a wash. I still say he won't win one slam this year.ReplyDelete

Funny, nobody seems to remember Federer's 6-2, 7-5, 6-2 thrashing of Murray in '08 US Open final. Guess that doesn't count, huh?ReplyDelete
Hard to forget when Federer keeps reminding us of it at every press conference.ReplyDelete

B-2012 hahaha...true..true..ReplyDelete
okay kids break it up. yeah, right...love it.ReplyDelete
things can happen fast in tennis - maybe fed gave andy the biggest gift he could give him in that final and the brit baller gladly accepted: motivation.
i like fed but the transition to "people's champion" has started a little slow. but i'm sure he'll come around - i mean they all did and do.
*gets in my corner*ReplyDelete
I take nothing away from what Federer has accomplished. Of course he's done more than many ever will. But I have zero tolerance for his snotty attitude and his disgust at having to be a lowly number two. And I don't even say that as someone who's obscenely Rafa-biased as a tennis fan.
I can't help but find great joy in seeing the new kids on the block mastering the mental Federer hurdle. Seeing them not just crumble at the mere sight of him makes me want to make victory fists of joy in the air.
- Phaura ReinzJanuary 9, 2009 at 8:42 PM
I saw parts of the match las night, and of course the story is about the down fall of the fed express, yet, what i saw is that andy is very much calculating his every move last night.ReplyDelete
And for fed, he is just out of sorts, like he just gave up after the second set. I thought that fed's gonna win it in straight sets, but Andy was frustrated in the tie break, so Andy channels his frustration to make Fed hopeless.
I guess Fed has to regroup and take very big leaps to formulate plans or tactics to defeat his adversaries now.
But Fed is very different at the grand slams, I hope he can pull this off.
- AnonymousJanuary 9, 2009 at 8:48 PM
Good grief, Barcelona, you're saying he won't win a slam this year. 2009 just begun. Let's see how the rest of the season goes.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 10, 2009 at 1:44 AM
Spot on with the 'good grief, Barcelona' bit, by the way.ReplyDelete
I'm an ardent, bitterly disappointed Federer fan. I think people are forgetting what he's capable of. Also disappointed in Federer though -- can't tell whether he's just not trying or he simply can't do it anymore.
What with Murray's back giving him trouble yesterday Roger should have been able to capitalize on that like he's capitalized on Rafa's injuries numerous times over the years. Somethings up with Fed - mentally.
Maybe Mirka's preggers and he's distracted with thoughts of impending fatherhood??
I wish.
Poor Roger this is really starting to upset me. I wanted him to have at least another couple of dominating year he is such a gentle man and great champion I just hope he can turn it around soon. I really want him to take over the Sampras record.ReplyDelete
lol okay, good grief, I now remember why I keep my Federer opinions to myself.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 10, 2009 at 4:27 AM
In my opinion Roger lost it yeasterday himself, not that Andy wasnt trying, but simply if Roger has got that break at the beginning of second set, it would have been game over for Andy. I see Rogers problem in his head, the forehand is working, contrary to last year French and sometimes at Wimbledon. It is like his patience gets lost, then he looses his first serve and there goes automatically the confidence. With a such good returner as Andy now, who is riding on high confidence, it is then inevitable to loose. I believe Roger must really gather his motivation for the Grand Slams, that he always did until now.ReplyDelete
So Barcelona I dont believe him not winning another Slam this year. If I have my doubts here about someone not making a grand slam this year it is Rafa, who is obviously trying to get quicker to points in changing his game. Good luck to him, wont be easy, to defend two slams, number one spot and change your playing style.
I agree with you anon - it will be a tough year for Rafa to defend everything. He's on a clay roll that's unimaginable. If he stays healthy I have every faith in him to take both middle slams, and it would be a dream come true to see him take the outside ones. But then that's the joy in the tennis season, isn't it - to see how it all plays out. :)ReplyDelete
Who knows, we may have a year of four new slam champions. You just never know. I look forward to seeing it all play out...
- Phaura ReinzJanuary 10, 2009 at 4:51 AM
hi rich.......ReplyDelete
i hate to bring this to you, but it seems that tennis, amongst all sports, are really just not embracing the equality of women or at the least the not keen on giving fair treatment for women.........
peter bodo of tennis.com is one of those people in tennis who singlehandidly thought that women is by far below of the men's standards.......
now the fed express is one of them, yeah, you heard it right roger federer himself treats women differently.....
read this news by bbc: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/7821469.stm
i don't want to be unfair, but the matter of saying it the first time doesn't erase the meaning of all the statement's meaning, i guess fed and some others really look down on the women
and it is just not right!!!!
Maybe Roger should mix it up and play doubles with Stan again. After their Olympics gold he was on a high again and went on winning the US Open. Just an idea but maybe he will have more fun on a tennis court this way. He just doesn't seem like he is having a great time out there, even when he hits some amazing shots he barely cracks a smile...ReplyDelete
I mean, Andy plays doubles as well and Rafa just won Doha!
It shouldn't be a fitness issue and he wouldn't have any pressure out there. Just playing for the sake of tennis, some fun competition and improving while playing!
maja - totally true. Roger seems to play so much better when he's loosened up and is ineracting with other people - like the crowd at the US Open and Stanislas at the Olympics. But even watching him lose a match you still see glimpses of the ol' Federer magic.;)
Phaura Reinz - I could happily murder you for that comment. Sexist people do NOT play mixed doubles.
Phaura Reinz-It's not sexist at all, it's good observation f how things are, but still things are not simple as that, Federer..Things defer in woman and mens game of tennis.And it tells A LOT.A LOT.But also, we shouldn't compare men and woman, in the same sport, cause things are different, and for the obvious reasons.So it was kinda lame more then sexist of Fed, (who's hihgly intelligent pal so wtf), to even make that comment, cause it was totally unnecessery.He should know(knows) that man and woman defer in physics a lot, and the reason not all can be strong as Williamses are physic again.And really, there have always been number ones in WTA who highly deserved it, not that Jelena didn't, but yeah it doesn't quite sink in beautifuly as Henin or Masha at N1.But it's just that time at WTA, can Fed quarantee it'll never happen at ATP N1 will get there without winning Slam?It can happen there too in different time maybe.So basicly it's for long disccusion, and Feds frustrated obviously on not just one level, one can see.ReplyDelete
Tessa - just remeber Marcelo Rios. He never won a slam and still got the No.1 ranking.ReplyDelete
Ok, it happend ten years ago but still...
- johanneJanuary 10, 2009 at 7:09 AM
I think it's just that Murray knows how to beat Fed, plain and simple. And it could just be that their head-to-head record against each other is just enough to mentally throw Fed off. Who knows for sure, but I think Murray just straight up knows how to beat Fed's game.ReplyDelete
**If I have my doubts here about someone not making a grand slam this year it is Rafa, who is obviously trying to get quicker to points in changing his game. Good luck to him, wont be easy, to defend two slams, number one spot and change your playing style.
If this is true about Rafa trying to end points sooner (I haven't SEEN matches yet bc the States makes it hard to actually watch some of these smaller tourneys) I wouldn't be surprised if this is something he's trying out on the hard-court surface in particular. He's been very vocal about this surface being the toughest on his body so he may just be experimenting with trying to ease up the pressure on his knees. Just a thought.
Roger should play doubles with Rafa. It would be the best thing ever. Rafa wants to, he's said so. I think it'd give Roger some fresh motivation at this point in his career, and he seemed to get a lot of pleasure from his doubles wins with Stan.ReplyDelete
And anyway it'd be fun to see all the fans lose their minds. :)
Great point on the doubles play MAJA. In fact, more ballers - particularly top ones - would benefit from playing doubs (plus more fans, like myself would start to watch it more). It's probably a great way to mix up their training and practices by getting out there and working on stuff in a match environment but without the same pressure and intensity. The Sisters Sledge also play much better when they play doubs together.ReplyDelete
Fed actually seems even more brilliant when playing doubs. The stuff he came up with in Beijing was pretty sick - and beautiful to watch.
I agree that Roger isn't going to dominate this year. But I don't think Rafa will or Murray, either.ReplyDelete
It would be fascinating if, like someone else said above, we have 4 new Major champs this year.
As a Fed fan, though, I want to see Roger get a few more Majors!!!
I totally agree with B2012's comment of earlier:ReplyDelete
"I take nothing away from what Federer has accomplished. Of course he's done more than many ever will. But I have zero tolerance for his snotty attitude and his disgust at having to be a lowly number two. And I don't even say that as someone who's obscenely Rafa-biased as a tennis fan.
I can't help but find great joy in seeing the new kids on the block mastering the mental Federer hurdle. Seeing them not just crumble at the mere sight of him makes me want to make victory fists of joy in the air."
Nuff said.

Being from Iowa and this being my first western hunting trip, I am curious how the check station thing works. Where are the check stations located? Are these fixed locations or a random mobile unit? Do hunters need to actively seek them out for mandatory reporting or is it stop if you come accross one?
I have been able to find very little information about how this works online.
In Iowa, we do all of our game harvest reporting online or by phone.
Also, anybody know a good place in Cheyenne to stop for conservation stamps and last minute hunting supplies?

So…I've had a long standing theory for many years now that rock face = sex face. 'Tis 89.7361 percent accurate by my scientific findings. OK, maybe not uber scientific, but I find it to be highly unerring all the same. So do most o' my girlfriends, upon having the fact pointed out to 'em.
Man, I just recently started watching Deadwood with the boyfriend. (I just IM'd him to confirm that he's offish my boyfriend, because I'd never typed out the word before — in regards to him — and it looked funny, so I had to double check.)
Despite the fact that three businesses have called it quits in Northside in the past month or so (Ali's Boutique, Shoe-topia and the Northside Art Gallery), two ladies are trying their hand at opening something. Aileen McGrath and Chris Salley are celebrating the opening of their new gallery/boutique/supply store, Fabricate, tonight with an exhibition of Salley's small, self-portrait paintings and music by PROJECTMILL (along with hors d'oeuvres and beverages).
Danny Cross wrote a To Do pick about the party here. And I e-mailed some questions to McGrath and Salley to learn more about their vision for the gallery/shop. See their answers below:
CityBeat: What is the name of your gallery?
Fabricate: fabricate
CB: What does the name mean?
F: It means "to make by art or skill and labor; construct." We'd kinda been butting heads on a name that we both liked and we'd both had that same word on our lists to describe the kinds of things we are going to be doing in there. We liked that it describes working with hard things, like metal or wood, and soft things, like textiles. It also means: "to devise or invent something."
CB: Do you have a mission statement?
F: A store and gallery hybrid where artists, crafters and designers can be inspired, supplied and showcased.
CB: Who is responsible for the gallery? What did you two do before this?
F: We both are equally responsible for everything. We will both pick what art will show each month and work to constantly be filling the store with consigner's merchandise. We will also both be working in the store. We will still continue to work our other jobs as well. (Chris as a Program Manager for Girl Scouts of Western Ohio and Aileen as a bartender at Northside Tavern.)
CB: There aren't generally many galleries in Northside, save for Feralmade, which is now Raymond Thunder-Sky, inc. and Prairie. How do you think the neighborhood will respond to your presence?
F: We've already gotten a really positive response. We both know a lot of people in Northside and Cincinnati and it seems like everyone is coming out for the opening. We are kinda intimated actually with how many people have said they are coming. … We think the community will embrace it. There isn't anything like what we are doing in Northside already. Everyone we talk to is really fired up to have an art show in there and create other things to sell as well.
CB: With the recent closing of businesses like shoe-topia and Ali's Boutique, how are you two planning to ensure your vitality?
F: Bribery via pie! But seriously, this is our passion project and we both have other incomes, so we are not sweating every dollar even though it is going to be tight. We are able to experiment because we have stability elsewhere. There will be new art exhibits once a month and a lot of our friends are creative people who make amazing things, but don't have a place to display/sell them except for online, so we are providing them that space. We will have unique items, locally made, that you can't find anywhere else.
CB: What else will be there besides artworks?
F: Ultimately, all sorts of handmade goods from local indie crafters: art prints, scarves, jewelry, cards, stationary, accessories, pillows, curtains, unique artist T-shirt lines and eventually bigger creations like furniture and lighting. Anything that we think is interesting and would be cool to sell. We will also have art and craft supply as well. All of this we will be building up as we go. It's gonna start-up small and then grow from there as we acquire more merchandise and, therefore, the funds to stock more art supply.
CB: What are your plans for the future? How do you envision the gallery six months from now?
F: Haha! Hopefully we'll not still be paying rent out o' pocket. It's gonna be a slow build, but we are comfortable with that. We hope the creative community sees us as a resource and an outlet, as well as a great place to see new art once a month along with the other new things that their peers create. And hopefully in turn that inspires them to keep creating more things to display and sell there.
CB: What can gallery-goers expect to see in your inaugural exhibit?
F: Chris' paintings. The space in general. Us jumping up and down when we make out first dollar…aaaannnnnd probably making sure it's being documented via various photographic devices. Potable beverages. Their friends! The beginnings of the boutique and us communicating with future consigners about their work. Suggestion box for art supplies to stock. High fives! My mom. Snackage generously supplied to us via Hideaway, Take the Cake and cookies from the now imfamous Mikey B!
CB: You say you enter through Red Polly. HOW? Where is the gallery?
F: We are 4012 Hamiliton Ave. in Northside, but you will enter through 4016 Hamilton Ave. You will come through Red Polly's front door, we share the same entrance. Walk to the room on the right. Two of the walls in our space will always be dedicated to artwork that will stay up all month.
CB: Tell me bout the party.
F: Fabricate's grand opening will be on Friday, with the inaugural art show 4 x 6 x 100: an exhibition of Chris' paintings. What started out as sketches for larger works turned into a series of one hundred 4 x 6 paintings that are self-portrait snapshots of everyday emotions, split-second ideas and random documentation of the images that reside in her brain. There will potable beverages, hors d'oeuvres and entertainment provided by the DJ's of PROJECTMILL, creators of award winning DANCE_MF. This is your first chance to get a glimpse of the location that will house once-a-month art exhibits and shows, preview the beginnings of the boutique and meet/talk with the owners about consigning your own handiwork in the future. It's gonna be a lot fun and will hopefully get everyone ramped up for future exhibitions we plan on having each month accompanied by different DJ's and bands.
Can't stop thinking about 'em!
Yesterday, my friend Mikey B. pulled a menu out o' his wallet that he'd snagged cuz it made him think of me. One o' the items listed was Bang Bang Tacos!
Those who know me know I'm kinda obsessed with tacos. I don't know why, I just am. Mostly cuz they are delish … and they like to sit next to margaritas. And the word taco is funny. And it makes me think of vaginas. Another funny word. I'm kinda obsessed with vag, too, you might have noticed.
Midgets are adorable. I can't help it. So imagine my surprise when I went to Lexington last night with You, You're Awesome for a show at Al's Bar (Owl's Bar to Kay Bay Bay) and there were not one, but TWO midgets there! Little people? Whatever you're supposed to call 'em, I like 'em! I like 'em a lot!
Cookie was an adorable little African American midge in a doo rag and I was immediately endeared. My first real encounter with her was in the bathroom. She went running past me at top short person speed to get to the stall proclaiming: "This one's an emergency!"
Last week I randomly found myself bending over and examining my crotchal region from behind in the bathroom mirror. Well, and my sphincter region, if we're being honest. This newfangled vaginal narcissism was all spawned from a recent conversation with my good friend Leroy over drinks at NST, where most ridiculousness o' this ilk begins.
Gaaaaaaah! Hung. Over. Ugh. Is it the weekend already? I'm still recovering from this week and the weekend is lookin' to be pretty high up on the tomfoolery totem pole. Fun hurts.
So … apparently homeless men use our back courtyard as their neighborhood self-service bar. For several days in a row, upon first moving in, I would come back from brunch shenans or some other stuffing-my-mouth-hole activity (boozing) only to find one or several dudes sitting at our outside table knocking back a couple.

Las Vegas, NV (Sports Network) - Anthony Bennett scored 27 points and grabbed
14 rebounds, as 20th-ranked UNLV blitzed La Verne, 91-44, at Orleans Arena.
Katin Reinhardt added 14 points and six assists, while Savon Goodman posted 13
points and nine rebounds for the Runnin' Rebels (8-1), which posted their
sixth straight win. Bennett was coming off a 25-point, 13-rebound performance
in a dramatic victory over California.
Vince Bauer led La Verne (1-5) with 16 points and Jake Veith posted 11 for the
Leopards, who were overmatched from the outset.
UNLV got off to a quick start, scoring 13 straight points capped by three-
pointers from Reinhardt and Anthony Marshall for a 15-2 lead. La Verne fought
back with Veith's three-pointer, drawing the visitors within 18-12, but they
couldn't get over the hump in the first half.
The Runnin' Rebels extended their advantage bucket-by-bucket, taking a 33-19
lead on Bennett's slam with just under five minutes remaining in the half.
Easy baskets from Goodman and Bryce Dejean-Jones put UNLV firmly in front,
38-21, after 20 minutes.
Four straight points by Goodman made the score 54-32 and consecutive slams by
Marshall and Bennett capped 13 straight points for a 60-32 advantage. Justin
Hawkins' three-pointer with just over six minutes on the clock opened a 74-38
margin, and the rout was on from there.
The Leopards are a member of Division III, but will continue their brief 2-
game stint against Division I foes against Cal State Bakersfield ... This is
the ninth meeting between the two programs, but the first since 1965 ... This
was UNLV's first game since starting forward Mike Moser dislocated his elbow
versus California ... Pittsburgh transfer Khem Birch is eligible to make his
debut on Monday at Texas-El Paso.

Your Preteens and Teens Need Vaccines Too!
Beat the back-to-school rush! Make an appointment for vaccinations before the back-to-school rush begins at the doctor's office.
While your preteens and teens are thinking about all the fun things they'll be doing this summer, you're probably thinking about keeping them healthy and safe. When you're planning trips to get new swimsuits and sunscreen, make an appointment for vaccinations before the back-to-school rush begins at the doctor's office. Vaccines can help our kids stay healthy, and most states require certain vaccinations before school starts again in the fall.
There are four vaccines recommended for preteens and teens—these vaccines help protect your children, their friends, and their family members. While your kids should get a flu vaccine every year, the three other preteen vaccines should be given when kids are 11- 12 years old. Teens may also need a booster of a vaccine that requires more than one dose to be fully protected.
Any visit to the doctor— from an annual health checkup to a physical for sports, camp, or college—can be a good time for preteens and teens to get the recommended vaccinations. Even if your child is going to the doctor because they are sick or hurt, they still may be able to get shots that they need. Before visits to the doctor, review this easy-to-read version of the Recommended Immunizations for Children from 7 through 18 Years Old [478 KB].
What are the Vaccines for Preteens and Teens?
The following vaccines are recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), other medical societies, and CDC:
- HPV vaccine
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines help protect both girls and boys from HPV infection and cancers caused by HPV. HPV vaccine protects girls from the types of HPV that cause most cervical cancer. HPV vaccine also helps protect both girls and boys from anal cancer and genital warts. Girls and boys should start and finish the HPV vaccine series when they are 11 or 12 years old. Preteens and teens who have not gotten all HPV shots should ask their doctor or nurse about getting them now.
- Meningococcal conjugate vaccine
Meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MenACWY) protects against some of the bacteria that can cause meningitis (swelling of the lining around the brain and spinal cord) and sepsis (an infection in the blood). Meningitis can be very serious, even fatal. Preteens need the meningococcal shot when they are 11 or 12 years old and then a booster shot at age 16. Teens who got the meningococcal shot when they were 13, 14, or 15 years old should still get a booster at 16 years. Older teens who haven't gotten any meningococcal shots should get one as soon as possible.
- Tdap vaccine
Tdap vaccine protects against 3 serious diseases: tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (also called whooping cough). The Tdap vaccine takes the place of what used to be called the tetanus booster. Preteens should get Tdap at age 11 or 12. If your teen didn't get a Tdap shot as a preteen, ask their doctor or nurse about getting the shot now.
- Flu vaccine
Flu vaccine protects against flu and the other health problems flu can cause, like dehydration (loss of body fluids), making asthma or diabetes worse, or even pneumonia. Preteens and teens should get the flu vaccine every year as soon as it's available, usually in the fall. It is very important for preteens and teens with chronic health conditions like asthma or diabetes to get the flu shot, but the flu can be serious for even healthy preteens and teens.
Adolescent Vaccines are Safe and Effective
The vaccines for preteens are very safe. Some kids might have some mild side effects from shots, such as redness and soreness in the arm. Some preteens and teens may faint after getting a shot or any other medical procedure. Sitting or lying down for about 15 minutes after getting shots can help prevent fainting. Most side effects from vaccines are very minor, especially compared with the serious diseases that these vaccines prevent.
Be sure to check with the doctor to make sure that your teen has received all of the vaccines recommended for them. They may need to "catch up" on vaccines they might have missed when they were younger.
Need Help Paying for Vaccines?
Most health insurance plans cover the cost of vaccines. If you don't have insurance, or if it does not cover vaccines, the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program may be able to help. The Vaccines for Children (VFC) program provides vaccines for children ages 18 years and younger, who are not insured or under-insured, Medicaid-eligible, American Indian or Alaska Native.

MBA: Onsite Program
Onsite Program Overview
The Nyack College MBA Onsite Program affords the learner with an opportunity to complete the MBA journey within a sixteen month time frame. The courses are run serially in a small cohort environment, providing a community experience and peer support for each student. Since the cohort size is small, it ensures that each student receives personal, hands-on attention, as we believe in the individual and their personal and professional transformation. Courses are offered both on Saturdays in Nyack and on two weeknights in Manhattan, thus allowing students the flexibility of coordinating their educational pursuit with their ongoing professional commitments. Each course is five weeks in duration (except the three one-day required seminars which are held on Saturdays throughout the program). During the program, at least two courses will be offered online to afford the student a break of having to physically attend the onsite classes, and to gain the experience of taking courses in an online venue.
Our program is clearly focused on Social Responsibility and Entrepreneurship, understanding that entrepreneurship is not only about "new" ventures, but about creativity and innovation for new ventures or existing organizations. Our well defined capstone process and project allow the student to apply their learning for a meaningful creation of a viable and real business plan. Each student is afforded an individual advisor to guide them with their capstone project.
As a Christian college, we are not apologetic about our Christian principles, as they serve as a guide post for everything that we do.
Technical Requirements
• Consistent access to a computer with a high-speed internet connection
• Ability to run Flash Players
• Ability to send/receive e-mails and e-mail attachments
• Ability to download files
• Ability to conduct research via the internet
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (i.e. Word, Power Point, Excel)

Utility regulators will be asked again Tuesday to approve a rate increase to repay money Mississippi Power Co. has borrowed to build a coal-fired power plant in Kemper County.
The unit of Atlanta-based Southern Co. wants a total rate increase of 21.6 percent, or $171.6 million.
For an average residential customer, that's projected to work out to $31.08 a month, according to a company filing.
It's the second time that the Mississippi Public Service Commission will be asked to approve a plan to start paying for the $2.88 billion plant, which Mississippi Power calls Plant Ratcliffe.
The PSC rejected the first request, leading to a lawsuit settled with commissioners agreeing to consider another request quickly.
Commissioners could vote on the request Tuesday, but have until March 12 to decide.

After attending Yeshiva, a school that focused on the study of the Torah and other classical Jewish texts, he went to New York University with the intention of going into medicine. But instead he discovered acting, which he studied at NYU and later at the famed Actors Studio with the iconic Lee Strasberg. Climbing his way up the New York theater scene in the late 1950s, Rifkin eventually made his Broadway debut in the original production of Neil Simon's "Come Blow Your Horn" (1961).

So easy and wonderful. I make this all the time, you can change up the cheese, meat, veg's etc. to whatever you have on hand. I do use fresh snipped up spinach instead of frozen. Enjoy!
I substituted the cheese and mayo with a can of cream of mushroom soup as suggested by another happy recipe maker. It was really delicious!!!! This was my first time ever making a quiche. After this one, on the same day, I made another one with some leftover ham. AWESOME!!!!!
As this cooked, the aroma filled my house. The taste was equal to the smell. Amazingly, this is the best quiche I ever made.

Performing the following steps can help you resolve some of the more common device issues that you may experience with your Sprint 3G/4G USB Modem 250U by Sierra Wireless.
Find and update your device software
Just like a computer, the software on your phone needs to be updated periodically to make sure you have all the latest fixes and enhancements to keep it running at optimal performance. Check your current version and perform any needed software updates.
Update the device data profile
If you are experiencing any data issues, we recommend performing a data profile update. This will refresh your data service parameters such as username and password and help clear out any memory issues that might be affecting your USB Modem.
Note: To perform the update, you must have Sprint SmartView open and your 250U USB Modem inserted in the computer in a Ready to Connect state, but do not connect to the Sprint network.
To update the data file in Sprint SmartView:
If the above option is grayed out:
Ensure signal strength is sufficient
If you are only receiving 1-2 bars, it is very possible you will lose connection or occasionally not be able to connect. You need 2 or more bars for a good connection. Try using your 250U in a different location to gain increased signal strength.
If you are having issues connecting to 4G in a building or home, keep in mind that at this time, 4G USB devices are primarily capable of getting the best service near an exterior wall or outside. To potentially resolve in-building coverage issues, you may have to use the device in other locations within the building to see if your coverage or signal improves.
Check for computer issues
Sometimes your computer could be having an issue that prevents your 250U from working correctly. To check for this:
If you are still having issues, you should try inserting your 250U USB Modem in a different USB port on your computer.

National Potato Chip Day 2013
- next ›
- 170 of 735
- ‹ previous
People celebrate National potato chips day on March 14th every year. The day is dedicated to celebrate the most favorite of snacks worldwide. So it's time to lather up in salt and grease, because at the Foster City Library on this auspicious day, from 12:30-1:30 p.m., we will taste and vote for your favorite potato chips.
This Spud's No Joke
It is hard to believe that the world's most famous snack food began as a joke. Potato chips were first made in 1853 while Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt was on vacation in New York. At one restaurant, he kept sending his fried potatoes back to the kitchen because he said they were "too thick." The chef, George Crum, decided that he would cut them into paper-thin slices, boil them in oil, fry them, and salt them as a joke to the Commodore. It backfired. They became an instant success and the restaurant was well known for them.
Flavors Galore
Since then, the potato chip revolution has exploded with flavors such as Lincolnshire sausage and brown sauce, sour cream and spring onion, and Birmingham chicken balti from across the pond; Cajun herb and spice, chile limon, chipotle ranch, classic BLT, dill pickle, garden tomato and basil, sweet southern heat barbecue, tangy Carolina, Parmesan and Tuscan herb, southwestern ranch, creamy Mediterranean herb, spice rubbed BBQ, Maui onion, jalapeno, mesquite BBQ and spicy cayenne and cheese created right here in the U.S. by Lay's; Blastin' Buffalo Wing, Screamin' Dill Pickle, Ragin' Cajun, and Sizzlin' Sweet BBQ are all chip flavors offered by Pringles, and even a line of sea-inspired flavors from Route 11 in Virginia including Chesapeake Crab Potato Chips ... Wow! Who knew!

Barbara Stephens will be the first to tell you she loves to eat good food. While she is not much of a potato chip connoisseur, when she craves them, she eats them. Her favorite is sour cream and chives flavor chips, but admits that after doing the research for this blog, that could all change.

Exposure Axis - Single XML Light $0.00
The fact that you can attach the 550-lumen Axis Single XML Light to your helmet, complete with battery, in a sub 100 gram package is pretty impressive to say the least. Exposure's makes this possible through the use of LED technology, a 2900mAh lithium ion battery (good for 2 - 36 hours), and extensive engineering.
This includes collimated Lens Technology, a high-tech resin lenses that's specifically designed to maximize light collection from the Cree XML white LED. It then projects the beam in an optimum pattern, ensuring no light is wasted. Housing the lens, bulb and battery is a one-piece aerospace grade, exquisitely CNC'd aluminum body.
The extensive machining, however, isn't just to look cool. It's actually designed to help heat transfer and physically cool the light. Packing one Cree XLM white LED, the Axis can generate excessive heat. One way it's managed is through the weather-tight body, the other way it's managed is with Exposure's patented Intelligent Thermal Management (ITM).
If the internal temperature gets too high, ITM kicks in and automatically drops the power level down to the next lowest setting. It will remain at the lower setting until the temperature inside the housing returns within normal operating range. This, and the weatherproof housing, ensures the light's battery and LED bulbs are safe from moisture, muck, and heat for a long life span.
Another feature found on the Axis XLM is Exposure's Optimum Mode Selector. OMS offers preprogramed settings to provide the optimum lighting for ride conditions. The OMS modes are selected using the power button located on the back of the unit, and an info display resides under a clear silicone covering with 3 color mode LED's that double as the OMS display indicator and a fuel gauge.
Exposures' Axis Single XML Light comes with both wall and USB chargers and an easy to use, lightweight helmet mount.

Tiny and powerful
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Beautifully made, as light weight as advertised, very bright, nice beam pattern. The basic issue is whether for the high cost it gives enough light or if you should get the Diablo (or similar higher-output light) instead, perhaps with a back-up battery since the Diablo burns through battery life really fast. This has much better battery life, perhaps since it is a single LED v. 3 LED's for Diablo. I tend to think that most folks will want more light or settle for a bit less light at a far lower cost from one of the very nice 2014 lights from various brands that are coming out. Also, the "flash" setting is fairly ineffective - it only "blips" slightly so is just not very noticeable as a daytime warning light. The $79 Tracer is actually far more effective for that. Bottom line - a great light with a very narrow niche.
Good light for a roadie?

On Wednesday, local football, soccer, basketball and lacrosse players joined young athletes around the country in signing their national letters of intent to play at the college level. Take a look at where students from the District, Maryland and Virginia are headed next fall.

Would I also need a front derailleur to run this setup? I have a single speed e.13 setup upfront right now. I guess all i'm asking is how does this thing work?
Yes, you still need a derailleur. The Shiftring kit just allows you to use with cranks that do not have inner chainring tabs. Instead, one ring mounts to the other ring. The end function is the same and requires a derailleur and shifter to actually switch gears.

Our 'chief cook & bottle washer' came up with the idea for 'Buggies for good' when asked to donate to 'change for good' on an Air NZ flight. He thought that maybe owners of pre-loved phil&teds or Mountain Buggy products might want to play their part and donate back to us... So, in 2009 'Buggies for Good' was born! We collect pre-loved buggies from generous gems - around the world - then our clever little engineers and service fellas give 'em the once over, make sure they're in good working order so we can then donate the jazzed-up-beauties to a deserving cause or charity within the community.
