"traffic, traffic everywhere, give this man a break" Cyprus Warnings Or Dangers Tip by MrBill
Cyprus Warnings and Dangers: 72 reviews and 50 photos
Visited Pafos for Carnival and ended up having a car accident. A minor one. There were cars double parked everywhere for the carnival celebrations. Some young guys stopped in the middle of the street in their 'sportscar' (sic) and would not move any further. I don't know why? Then there were several SUVs backed-up behind them. I was going the other way and I needed to get around a car parked illegally in front of a dumpster. As I manouvered around the parked car I side-swiped him. I have no idea how it happened? Maybe he backed into me? I don't know? In any case, very minor damage. We exchanged numbers and I still haven't heard from him. But annoying, and all caused by these idiots that parked in the middle of the street and would not move forward.
I am getting so sick of the many near misses in traffic in Cyprus EVERYDAY. Idiots and bad drivers. It is like knowing you'll have an accident no matter how defensive you drive, but not knowing when? It can happen at anytime. It is like walking on egg shells the whole time.
As you approach an intersection someone is making an illegal turn, someone has the nose of their car poked into the oncoming traffic, another is entering the stream of traffic from the wrong side of the street where they parked illegally, and a moped or motorbike is either illegally passing you on the lefthand side or is coming up the middle through the lanes of traffic. You have to pay attention all the time, and even then it is not a guarantee that someone won't hit your car.
If you have to drive you better practice yoga and deep breathing techniques, too. Good luck and drive safe.

Note: we only give a property a rating once it has received a minimum of 3 reviews.
- Page:1/1
- " Great atmosphere, all staff so friendly and helpful, excellent comma. I had a private room with comfy bed and en suite, all spotless and towels new and fluffy! Good kitchen, kept very clean.Common areas bright and lovely colourful touches. 2 minutes walk to small beach, another 3 mins to main beach. The hostel attracts backpackers from all over, many interesting people to meet always. I'd stay here again. Unbeatable value and very comfortable. "
- 27 Apr 2016 Inez England
- " This hostel had a great atmosphere, even before the season started! Met some great people, and had some good times. The breakfast was a nice touch :) The only downside were the showers, which had very little pressure, and sometimes were only cold water. "
- 25 Apr 2016 Anonymous Canada
- " The bathroom was hands down the worst in my 45 days of travels in terms of cleanliness and everything else. The shower water is burning hot and is only a trickle. Also, there is only one full bathroom per floor... Not even close to enough. The other toilet is super small and doesn't even have a sink. Also, the rooms could use more lighting (only one bulb in our room was working) and power outlets. Everything else was good, and certainly is a cheap stay considering Ibiza "

- " The building it's a little bit old but it doesn't matter at all. The hostel is a very cool place to stay! Nice atmosphere and staff! Party hard baby! "
- 17 Aug 2015 Caio Brazil
- " I had a single private room that didn't have air condition, which wasn't that fun. The staff wasn't bad, they were nice and helpful in letting me know what to do. The main the parties are primarily on the other side of the island, but only a cab ride away which isnt bad. Not many people who stayed there spoke english, but it wasn't bad. "

It was the year 2004 when she became a member of Ahon sa Hirap, Inc. a partner micro-finance institution of KIVA in the Philippines. She is one of the good performing members of ASHI. Though she is active, she only borrows capital that she thinks she can regularly repay. The family income is only enough for their daily needs and school expenses for their children.
After seven long years she has gained confidence and is now applying for a loan of 17,000 PHP to buy additional fishing gear, nets and a canoe or wooden boat for her husband to use. She will also buy additional piglets for her hog raising business. Fishing and hog raising have been their primary sources of income for the past seven years, and they have really benefited from it. Their future plan is to develop these businesses more and make them stable so as to be able to sustain the education of their children. They also plan to renovate their current house and buy additional appliances.
Jocelyn is so glad that she became a member of ASHI and KIVA because their life has improved since then and their dream is now at hand. She hopes and prays that the two institutions will continue to support her goals for herself and her family.
Additional Information
About ASHI
Ahon Sa Hirap, Inc. has the distinction of being the oldest existing replication of Grameen methodology for delivering credit to the poor in the Philippines. With more than a third of the nation's 90 million Filipinos living below the poverty line, ASHI was established with the vision of helping to alleviate poverty in the Philippines. Translated from Tagalog, Ahon Sa Hirap means "to rise above poverty."
Empowering women dedicated to supporting their families through hard work and dedication, ASHI lends 100% to women and specifically the bottom 50%, so the "poorest of the poor." In addition to general business loans, ASHI also offers educational loans, house repair loans, savings funds, and social development programs for its members. ASHI is committed to translating its social mission into practice.

I think that is right.
I got two questions:
1. I tried creating one but instead of a new map, the created map replaced one of the old ones. Why?
2. When I open a FR rom at A-Text, some texts are blank, I tried to fill it but it will cause a text glitch. How can I fix it?
1. I dont understand this either. I guess just make a new directory and store your new maps there
2. Make sure you have a clean ROM because sometimes that might make it now work (duh)

Oklahoma City Thunder: Why Kevin Durant could be the most likable athlete in professional sports
NEW ORLEANS — Could the most likable athlete in professional sports be playing in our backyard?
Kevin Durant, in his seventh NBA season, has quickly made a case for that title.
The Oklahoma City Thunder star has become a household name, a player whose appeal transcends age, race and gender. It's something few sports stars have been able to do and perhaps something not seen since Michael Jordan.
Durant has endeared himself to the masses by being grounded, generous and, of course, great. And he's kept a stranglehold on hearts through his unrivaled humility.
"He's as authentic as anybody," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "What you see is what you get, and what you see is an amazing, amazing person."
Durant enters his fifth consecutive NBA All-Star Game on Sunday night in the midst of his most sensational season yet, a year that could soon be capped with Durant taking home his first league Most Valuable Player award.
In a marvelous month of January, Durant averaged 35.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 6.1 assists. He captured the collective attention of the sports world when he turned the league into his personal playground by scoring 30 or more points in 12 straight games, something that hadn't been done in more than a decade. Durant pumped in a career-high 54 points on Jan. 17 and registered more 40-point games in the month (five) than anyone else has produced all season.
When the Thunder comes out of this All-Star Weekend, it will carry a four-game lead over second-place San Antonio in the NBA's Western Conference, largely thanks to Durant.
But unlike other athletes who have ascended to this level of greatness, Durant's appeal hasn't diminished because of his dominance. The jealousy, envy and animosity that great players often receive have yet to land on Durant's doorstep.
They may never.
He's dodged detractors and risen above backlash.
And he's becoming more popular with each made basket.
Over the past year, Durant's awareness among the general public has grown from 29 percent of all Americans to 34 percent of all Americans, according to Henry Schafer, executive vice president for The Q Scores Company. By comparison, Spurs center Tim Duncan, a 16-year veteran, 14-time All-Star and four-time champion is at 33 percent.
"He's probably underutilized as a sports salesman," Schafer said of Durant.
Meanwhile, Durant's Q Score rating, which measures familiarity and appeal, is 20. The average NBA player is 15. Miami Heat star LeBron James has a 17 Q Score.
"If Durant stays on the track he's on," Schafer said, "he can start approaching the watermark of Michael Jordan, which is 25 (Q rating) and 79 percent (awareness)."
James, unquestionably the game's biggest darling before famously botching his free agency announcement in 2010, said holding such status comes with a certain level of pressure to maintain that reputation.
"But when you be yourself then it's easy," James said.
James added Durant is doing all the right things.
"I just think the way he plays the game and his demeanor," James explained when asked what makes Durant so liked. "He's a guy that never gets in trouble and plays the game the right way. And that's what it's about."
Durant committed himself to those things long before he entered the league. But he began garnering more attention for how he conducted himself only as he matured from the soft-spoken teenager who was drafted second overall in 2007.
His superb talents aside, Durant's clean-cut image was the first thing that drew in casual fans. He has no piercings or visible tattoos. In fact, one of Durant's few blemishes didn't come until he was four seasons in. It happened when the world learned Durant had marked up his torso and back with ink. The only other stain has been Internet pictures of Durant sitting down inside Hookah lounges, puffing flavored tobacco.
But there might not have been a person on the planet who couldn't relate to Durant's devotion for his family, seen when he routinely concluded games early in his career by kissing his mother before walking off the court.
"He comes across as pretty wholesome," said TNT NBA analyst Steve Kerr. "He's never in the news for anything negative. And yet … he still has a little bit of an edge, which I think people love, too. Just the competitiveness. You can see what a great guy he is, but you can see also how badly he wants to win."
Durant made hearts melt in 2011 when he dejectedly whispered into a microphone "I let the city down" following a painful Game 5 home loss to Dallas in the Western Conference Finals. His emotional news conference sparked an outpouring of support while revealing a star who was not self-centered but contrite.
The day before James announced his decision to sign with Miami in a live television special, Durant quietly announced his five-year extension with the Thunder via Twitter. It illustrated Durant's humbleness and earned him even more respect.
The list goes on and on.
He told Sports Illustrated before the 2011 season that he wouldn't pose for the magazine's cover unless Thabo Sefolosha and then-Thunder center Nenad Krstic, two lesser-known teammates, appeared with him.
He privately donated $1 million to Moore following the devastating tornadoes last May. Then he toured the area, offering hugs, handshakes and whatever else he could to uplift a torn city.
He toted the Bible to games and postseason news conferences.
And he credited God for his sizzling streak in January during a live postgame interview on national television.
"What I like about him is his likability is not forced," said TNT analyst Shaquille O'Neal. "You see a lot of guys (acting for the cameras) and it's forced. But he's natural."
Durant downplays his likability, deflecting the attention back to his team like he always does.
"When they call our names, they cheer for everybody on our team," Durant said. "So I would say our team is likable more so than just myself."
Durant, after seven years, still hasn't given people much reason to not like him. That has as much to do with his likability as anything.
He's done plenty right but more importantly has strayed away from wrong.
"I think he does a good job of just being Kevin. And I don't think that will change," said Brooks. "I've been around him seven years and he hasn't changed from just being Kevin."

Hi I'm 6.3 weeks pregnant with my first and was wondering what hospitals take Medicaid for OB and L&D and which ones were the best?
Hospitals that take Medicaid
Comments (5)
Congrats!! I delivered at Baptist Beach Hospital. They accept Medicaid and the hospital experience was amazing. You also stay in the same room post-partom. They have a flat screen t.v and also a DVD player in all the rooms. Oh and the rooms are private with your own bathroom of course. They also allow the spouse to stay with you overnight and visitors are welcome 24/7. The OB/GYN that I went to is called University of Florida Beaches Women's Health located off of Beach Blvd. There phone number is (904) 633-0420. There are four doctors there and are affiliated with that hospital. I was going to go to Shands (they also accept Medicaid) but I quickly changed my mind after I did a tour of Baptist Beach. Oh and I decided to go all natural and they let me walk around unlike other hospitals that make you stay in bed. The one thing that made my first birth experience great was the nurses at that hospital btw. Good Luck in your search!!
I too have medicaid. I delivered at Baptist South and It too was amazing! It sounds just like Baptist Beach from what PP said. Besides the TV and the shades on the window you can close from your bed, the nurses were awesome and attentive! and the bed they provide for your spouse or partner is big and comfortable. My docter is Doctor Brody 904/260-7886 he has 2 offices one on San Jose and one on Salisbury. He was great too.
I was in a bad car accident 7 months pregnant and was rushed to Shands, after I got out of trama I had to spend 3 days there, they put me in L&D so they could monitor the baby and I would suggest ANYWHERE BUT THERE! The nurses were not very attentive, I was in SERIOUS pain it would take then forever to respond to my call when I pushed the button then when they did come it would take forever for them to come back with meds! also they provide ONE uncomfortable chair for your spouse to sleep on!

Thank you so much Ladies, i know this is an old thread but i am hoping to find more of these because looking for a OB/GYN provider has been hell. I made an appointment at OB/GYN Associates in St Augustine and i have never been talked to like that in my whole life. I called as a self/pay and the lady was so nasty and mean to me , she almost made me cry (and i did after i got off the phone ) .I told her that for a self/pay first time patient she should at least try to be a little nicer to me (ddint faze her one bit). I am ignoring that appointment in search of a better provider since i still have almost a month till 12-13 weeks and will be going on medicaid.

HowTo? Eval Sigma Dp2-Q by Sigma newbie in 5 days?
I'd appreciate guidance on how to best use the limited time "try before buy" promotion by Sigma on the DP2-Quattro.
I'm mostly ignorant about Foveon sensors, and been curious to understand their pro's and con's compared to my Canon DSLR full-frame 6d.
- What kind of images show the Dp2-Q to best advantage over a conventional DSLR like the 6d? Landscapes? Architecture? Interiors? Portraits? Night? Other?
- I've obtained the SPP 6.0.1 software that is required to post-process DP2-Q images. Also several raw files that I've opened and played with. I'm thinking this will give me a head-start to not spend too much of the evaluation time wrestling with the quirky software.
- My thinking is to have a variety of locations pre-planned, and go around with two tripods. I plan to have a Canon EF 35mm f2 IS prime mounted on the Canon 6d for comparison.

Coming to North Wind Manor: The Gandalf of Nashville
He has a magnificent beard. He seems both old and young. He's wise. I'm pretty sure he has a walking stick. He's always traveling from here to there, there to here, appearing when you least expect him. He's a teacher and a student. He's an author, a singer/songwriter and a banjo player, he's a carpenter, a hobby astronomer, and a hunter.
I'm pretty sure there's only one person on Earth who meets all the above criteria, and his name is Michael Card. I first met Mike at an artist's retreat hosted by a ministry in Knoxville, and, knowing his name for years and years as "the guy who wrote 'El Shaddai'," I was surprised that he didn't play us a single song the whole weekend. He seemed perfectly content—eager, even—simply to teach and to talk about the Bible without throwing a guitar into the mix. Truly, his teaching was so stimulating I didn't miss the music by the end, either. Since I didn't grow up paying any attention to Christian music it was a long time before I heard songs like, "Come to the Table" and "Immanuel," and when I finally did it was live, in a church jammed with people singing at the top of their lungs. Goosebumps, I tell you.
A few years ago I was in dire need of a mentor. I needed someone older and wiser, a Christian to whom I could stay accountable, someone to encourage me to read my Bible, to guide me in some kind of formal relationship. Late one night I emailed Mike and, with fear and trembling, asked him to be that mentor. He emailed back the next day saying, in effect, "No." He went on to explain that he wasn't interested in a mentoring relationship. "What I need is friends," he told me. "We can get together and hang out, but not just to talk about spiritual stuff. Let's just be friends. And in this town, the only time you really get to hang out with your friends is on the road, so why don't you open for me for a few shows?"
I was disappointed at first (about the mentor thing, not the shows), but several years later it turns out Mike was right. I asked for a mentor and ended up with a friend—a good friend, which is a much better thing. My disappointment was a sign of my immaturity. It was as if I had emailed someone and asked if I could pitch a tent in their backyard, and they said, "Sure, you can stay. But you're not sleeping outside—you're going to be in the guest cottage." Mike's friendship, I believe, has yielded far more encouragement and edification than an accountability partner ever would have.
Several more Mike Card stories come to mind—like the time he shared the stage with Frederick Buechner and Walter Brugemann, or the time we were watching the History Channel and he read a snippet of Isaiah from a scroll they flashed on the screen, or the time he showed me his new rifle with a laser sight, or the time he asked if he could record "The Silence of God" after he had already done it. I'm so grateful to call this man my friend.
AND I'm grateful that he's coming to North Wind Manor in two weeks to talk about his new book. Mike has written about a zillion books, but his latest four are commentaries on the Gospels, part of the Biblical Imagination Series. Think about that for a second. Can you imagine writing not one but four commentaries? On the Gospels? Most of us would feel like we had just run four Iron Man races. So congratulations, Mr. Card, and we thank you for bringing your musical/poetic gifting to bear on the Scriptures so the rest of us can see it afresh. On August 29th, at 7:00, the Gandalf of Nashville will be teaching from the Gospel of John, and I hope you'll join us. Trust me, there's nothing quite like seeing Mike turn into a little kid while he talks about Jesus.
Admission to the event is totally free, though we do ask that everyone bring a snack item to share (drinks are on us). Space is limited, so if you intend to come, it's very important that you RSVP via an email to email@example.com. There are only 30 seats available. RSVP quickly if you want to secure a spot. We'll include the address to the Manor when we respond to your RSVP.

NEW YORK – New York City police say they're looking for a man who tried to sexually assault a woman with three children.
The woman got into the man's car at around 2:45 a.m. Sunday after he said he was a cab driver.
Police say the attempted sex assault occurred when they got to her destination in Queens.
While the woman was trying to escape, the man elbowed her 5-year-old in the head. He forcibly removed her 3-year-old from the vehicle before fleeing. She also had a 1-year-old with her.
The children were treated for minor injuries.
The suspect had an earring in his right ear and had manicured eyebrows.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.

DJControl AIR
- Two-Deck Control
- Air Control
- Pressure-Detecting Jog Wheels
- Two-Deck DJ Controller
- 2 Jog wheels with pressure detection
- Velocity sensitive pads
- Air control: 1 contactless control
- Pressure-Detecting Jog Wheels
- Scratch by pressing on the jog wheels, as naturally as with a vinyl record
- Jog wheels also control pitch bend and browsing within tracks
- Eight Pads with Velocity Detection
- The pads control the sampler, loops and effects
- The inner backlight shows the pads' activation
- Pads can be set as binary On/Off controls, or gradual controls
- Air Control: A Contactless Sensor Lets You Control the Mix from Above, Without Even Touching the Device
- DJ Control Air converts the distance to your hand into a MIDI command
- No need to touch the controller: one command of the mix without any physical contact
- Compatible with all light conditions
- Built-In Audio Outputs for Mixing and Previewing Tracks
- 1/8" (3.5mm) Stereo mini-jack output for the mix
- 1/4" (6.35mm) Stereo jack output for previewing tracks
Technical Specifications
Air Stands for "Adjustment by InfraRed": It is a Contactless Control
- The DJ places his or her hand flat over the infrared beam.
- The controller calculates the distance between the sensor and the hand, and converts it into a gradual MIDI command.
- This MIDI command modulates a setting in the DJ software.
No, Air Control Functions Under Any Light Conditions
- The infrared light beam projected towards the hand is invisible.
- The sensor captures the infrared reflection on the hand, and uses the reflection to calculate the hand's distance.
- The reflection is the same in both daylight and low light conditions, allowing Air control to be used during the day, at night or in places with weak lighting.
- Air control functions with all flesh tones. The only incompatibility is the use of black gloves (as the infrared sensor would not be able to detect the reflection).
Two Sets of Four Pads Control Loops, Sampler and Effects Commands
- The DJ taps on the pads with his or her fingertips to send commands such as looping, sampler or effects.
- The pads light up when touched.
- In addition to a binary On/Off command, each pad can transfer velocity information to modulate the command.
- For example: in sampler mode, the velocity can control the volume of a sample's playback. The playback volume depends on how soft or how hard the DJ taps on the pad.
The Jog Wheels Detect the Pressure from the User's Hand
- With scratch mode enabled, the jog wheels scratch when the hand's weight is detected, and stop scratching when the hand's weight is no longer detected. This allows the DJ to:
- Stop playback by pressing on the jog wheel.
- Restart playback by lifting up his or her hand.
- Scratch by turning the jog wheel while pressing down, and stop scratching by lifting up his or her hand.
- Bend the pitch (if playback is on) / browse within tracks (if playback is off) by turning the jog wheels using their outer ring, to avoid applying downward pressure.
- With scratch mode disabled, the jog wheels bend the pitch or browse within tracks when the jog wheels are turned, regardless of the pressure applied.
- 1/8" (3.5mm) Stereo output for the mix
- 1/4" (6.35mm) Stereo output for headphone previewing
- Intuitive, powerful software
- Mix two audio tracks on the fly
- Save your mix as an audio file
- Casing: 13.78 x 8.66 x 1.18" (35 x 22 x 3cm)
- Jog wheels: 3.94" (10cm) diameter
- Weight: 3.1lbs (1.4kg)
- USB cable: Attached

Ambre Energy proposes to ship up to 44 million tons of coal through here by rail ("Hearings to begin on coal terminal," Sept. 16).
Please, if possible, attend the Oct. 9 hearing at Clark County Fairgrounds and demand a full impact study.
As a registered nurse who worked full time for over 30 years, I know our history of poor knowledge regarding harmful substances.
We thought lead paint was OK. It was cheaper. Now, we learned that lead causes nerve damage and brain damage, so we protect our children.
We used mercury to fill cavities. Now, we find mercury fillings linked to Alzheimer's disease and other brain damage.
Coal contains mercury and lead. Both are toxic to brains, especially if we pump them into the air from coal-burning factories, or dump coal or coal dust into the Columbia River Gorge. Fish absorb mercury and lead from the river!
Coal contains many other poisonous substances. Just look at the coal mining towns here and overseas to see big coal corporations' legacy of bringing irreversible health damage to all.
No thanks. Clean energy, please.

£15m Toure de force
Kolo Toure is pondering his Arsenal future after strong interest from Manchester City.
The Gunners would want around £15m.
Starsport revealed in January how Toure – the last remaining regular from the Invincibles squad of the 2003-04 season – had handed in a transfer request. It was rejected and the Ivory Coast international, 28, was later said to have withdrawn it.
But it is understood Toure remains unhappy about his situation.
The north Londoners have already shown interest in Ajax centre-back Thomas Vermaelen, 23, for £10m – and Swiss ace Philippe Senderos, 24, will be returning to the Emirates Stadium after a year on loan at AC Milan.

I had a c section this last time because of the health of my baby... this time I have the option of attempting a vbac or getting a planned c section. the issue is, my doctor does not do vbacs, so i will have to switch to another doctor in order to do it. i don't want to switch because i love my doctor! he is awesome, but i just can't imagine trying to heal from my c section while taking care of a 1 and half year old and a newborn at the same time. i won't have as much help this time because my hubby can't take as much time off of work... that makes me nervous to have another c section... plus, i really really want to try to attempt a natural birth. i worked so hard for it during my last pregnancy, but as many of you mommies know, being pregnant is all about being flexible.
help ladies, what do i do? should i go ahead and attempt the vbac or stay with where im comfortable and get the c section even though i have quite a few reservations about it? what would you do?

Russian-Iraqi Relations: A Historical and Political Analysis
Ismael, Tareq Y., Kreutz, Andrej, Arab Studies Quarterly (ASQ)
RUSSIAN (BETWEEN 1917-1991 SOVIET)-Iraqi relations have been generally part and parcel of their relations with the Third World countries and their national liberation movements, particularly Arab nationalism, which for both historical and geostrategic reasons has been especially important for Moscow. However, at the same time, particularly between 1958 and 1990, Soviet-Iraqi relations were marked by some special features, putting them in contrast with Soviet links with other Afro-Asian nations and even some states of the Arab Middle East.
(1) Iraq was first of all the nearest of all Arab countries to the Soviet borders and because of that proximity the threat of Soviet expansion could have been seen as being much more real by its leaders than by the leaders of the other Arab states. (1)
(2) Different from the other Arab states of al-Mashreq, Iraq, since its very beginning in the 1920s, contained a very substantial (close to 25%) ethnic non-Arab Kurdish minority with specific constitutional rights, which were granted in 1925 as a condition for the incorporation of the largely Kurdish populated Mosul region into its borders. (2) The Kurdish people, other groups of which live in Turkey, Iran and Russia, have never completely submitted to their division and lack of national self-determination, and in Iraq since 1961 have constantly demanded territorial autonomy. Their aspirations towards which the Soviet Union could not remain indifferent, were, however, putting it in the awkward situation of having to make a choice between their recognition and its general support of Arab nationalism and the friendly Iraqi government.
(3) The Iraqi Communist Party, which was formally founded in 1934, was one of the most effective and socially influential Marxist organizations in the region. Although it was never strong enough to take power by itself, it nevertheless represented a by no means negligible political force in the country, being for Moscow after 1958, both a valuable asset and an embarrassment in its deals with the "progressive" but still often viciously anti-communist Iraqi government.
(4) Last but not least, Iraq's economic potential and relative wealth, especially after the 1973 October War and the subsequent rise of the oil prices, made this country a financially attractive partner and customer for Moscow. These economic aspects, which had never been absent in the past, have acquired additional importance since the collapse of the USSR and the emergence of Russia as a separate and pro-capitalist nation.
Post-Soviet Russia, rejecting Marxist ideology and the ideological support of the Communist parties and the national liberation movements of the Third World peoples, is nevertheless still interested in cooperation with Iraq, and since 1994 has been supporting Baghdad politically against the U.S.imposed punitive sanctions. As the authors want to show, the history, geopolitics and economics at both regional and global levels were inextricably interwoven in the process of shaping its attitudes and foreign policy decisions. Although the main focus of the paper is Post-Soviet Russia after December 1991, the Soviet background needs to be taken into account and analyzed in order to find the elements of continuity and change in the present policy.
Russian (Soviet) relations with Iraq have a relatively long and complex history. Diplomatic relations between the two countries were established for the first time on 9 September 1944 at the end of World War II. (3) The monarchic regime in Baghdad was nevertheless staunchly anti-communist and established its links with Moscow only because of its dependence on Britain and the British-Soviet alliance during the war. In January 1955 relations were broken off after the Soviets criticized the Iraqi government's decision to join the Baghdad Pact. (4)
When the pro-western monarchy was overthrown by a military coup on 14 July 1958, the new leader of the country, General Abd-al-Karim Quasim immediately re-established diplomatic ties with Moscow and started to buy Soviet arms. …

EOIR posted a letter from Thomas Snow, Acting Director, EOIR, to the editor of The New York Times regarding a 7/10/09 article titled "Immigration Judges under Strain." The article discusses a study published in the Georgetown University Law Journal, which applied a psychological scale for testing professional stress and exhaustion to 96 immigration court judges who agreed to participate. The study found that overwhelming case loads, and a lack of sufficient resources, has left them highly strained.

Rated 4 out of 5 by AshevilleKate Great quality These curtains are well-made and exactly the color I was looking for. I like that there is an option for a pocket rod or hidden tabs. Because they are jute, the texture is a little rough, but overall I am happy with them! November 25, 2014

Why no flags at city sites?July 16,2014The lack of an American flag at the monument at City Hall and lack of any flag or pole at city police is most discomforting. I worked 22-plus years for the Police Department; there is no way this should be happening.
PBA is in charge of the monument. They run fundraisers. The union has a fund. The city of Rutland has funds. With that considered, why are there no flags in mentioned places or in fact in Main Street Park?
It is not a matter of oversight but neglect, as flags have been absent for an extended period. Even the flagpoles are in terrible shape. Goes with what national press has been inferring: This area is a mess. Cant we at least fly the flag so many have defended?

Imagine the spending spree hangover Linda McMahon must be nursing today.
No matter how much money you have, the estimated $100 million McMahon spent over two campaigns trying to acquire a U.S. Senate seat was an enormous fortune to fritter away.
And really, in the end, what's to show for it?
Think of the hospitals and schools all that money could have built, how much could have been spent on, say, medical research that might have improved so many lives.
She might have even gotten the lights on sooner in Connecticut, if she had saved just some of the money spent on airing so many more campaign commercials during the state's hurricane disaster week and instead hired teams of linemen.
Imagine spending more money on egocentric political campaigns than anyone ever, and still losing.
I thought it curious that McMahon, in doubling down on her loss to Sen. Richard Blumenthal in 2010, did more harm than good to her reputation on her second Senate campaign.
The 2010 campaign unearthed the seamy side of her WWE wrestling empire, the federal investigation into steroids abuse, the drug-addled wrestlers, wrestlers who died early because of their work, wrestlers who were not even entitled to medical benefits despite the severe toll their work took on their health.
It all seemed new then to voters, and newsworthy.
I was reminded a few weeks ago, when someone began circulating old video clips of the original raunchy WWE programming, back when Linda McMahon was in charge, of how people forgot this year how awful many of the shows were.
One scene in particular that I had never seen before seemed especially distasteful.
There was Vince McMahon, Linda's husband and business partner, in the ring one night, leaning over a cowering woman dressed only in a bra and panties. McMahon was shouting at the woman while undoing his belt and unzipping his trousers.
The camera panned the crowd and showed thousands of young men on their feet, cheering and shouting and egging McMahon on.
It's hard to imagine an architect of that kind of distasteful entertainment, no matter how entertaining to some, could find her way into the country's political elite.
By the start of her 2012 campaign, McMahon had a new strategy. In part, she and her campaign advisers knew the shock of WWE programming would have waned somewhat and that it was less newsworthy.
At the same time, they began refashioning McMahon as a mild-mannered grandmother, hoping women voters in Connecticut would forget about all that sexist programming.
In the end, the 2012 campaign was much more dishonest than the one in 2010, in which McMahon confronted the attacks against WWE and took on Blumenthal on the issues.
Instead, against Chris Murphy, McMahon crafted a nasty campaign full of character assassination and misleading or untruthful attacks.
Even her campaign press releases were harsh and mean-spirited, the product of a take-no-prisoners, win-at-any-cost political machine manned by a lot of old hands at the game of attack politics.
In other ways, it was a new animal in Connecticut politics, a campaign that dodged traditional media, interviews with reporters and editorial boards, and subsisted instead on images fabricated in television advertising and glossy brochures.
Even many of her supporters, the young people holding up McMahon signs on street corners and at rallies, were on the payroll.
Party leaders, sucked in by her money, turned their backs on traditional Republican candidates who have succeeded in winning elections in the past.
And now they've lost twice with the let's-buy-a-Senate-seat strategy.
Let's hope that's the last we have seen of that strategy in Connecticut for a while.
This is the opinion of David Collins.

So far, I know of no incompatibility that would require any manual work.
I am not aware of any, either.The latest major breakage with autoconf/automake, I encountered was introduction of AC_ENABLE/DISABLE_OPTION_CHECKING, which causes irritating warnings when not being treated manually.
However this was introduced by autoconf, not automake, and is more a nuissance but a regression.
The fact "make V=..." uses an unprefixed/non-namespace safe environment variable is a candidate to cause problems. Admitted, the likelihood of older packages tripping over this is close to null.But even if there are a few corner cases, anyone who cannot find the time for whatever small changes are needed to update to automake-1.11 can install an older version and use that.

Study: Swine flu took a greater toll on minorities
SALT LAKE CITY — Last year's outbreak of H1N1 resulted in a higher toll on young, overweight minorities, say Utah medical researchers, who argue that not putting this population at the front of the vaccination line may have cost lives, and cost hospitals and taxpayers millions of dollars.
Children, pregnant women and people with lung problems were given first priority for H1N1 vaccinations, some of them standing in line for hours outside health departments.
But early on, doctors noticed the sickest patients were more likely to be young adults, obese and of Hispanic or Pacific Island descent, says Russ Miller, medical director of Intermountain Medical Center's respiratory intensive care unit.
They were also less likely to be insured, says Miller, lead author of a study confirming doctors' observations.

The study was published in this month's issue of Chest, the scientific medical journal of the American College of Chest Physicians.
Researchers examined the records of 47 H1N1, or swine flu, patients admitted to adult intensive care units in Utah at Intermountain Medical Center, LDS Hospital, and the University of Utah Health Sciences Center between May 19 and June 30, 2009, the first outbreak period in Utah. All of the 47 patients resided within Salt Lake County.
They found a disproportionate number among minorities.
Pacific Islanders make up 1 percent of the county's population, but accounted for 26 percent of the H1N1 stays in the intensive care unit. Hispanics are 13 percent of the population, but 23 percent of the H1N1 cases studied.
The patients were also more likely to be overweight. All of the eight patients who died were obese or morbidly obese, the study found.
More research is needed to determine if obesity or ethnicity alone are risk factors, or whether it's a combination of things, said Miller.
"But at least we got a hint at some of the socioeconomic factors at play,"said Miller, pointing to another disparity: a whopping 45 percent of the most severely ill had no health insurance. It's well documented that the uninsured delay getting care, he said.
The Salt Lake County data mirror similar findings in other parts of the country.

OKC Thunder: Turnovers doom Thunder to loss at Atlanta
ATLANTA — Serge Ibaka caught the ball on the left block with his back to the basket. He paused for a moment, sizing up his defender before going into his move. It was a good start to what seemed to be a sound strategy to create an easy bucket.But when he started his attack, Ibaka shuffled his feet and was called for traveling. It was the first possession of the game. Just 13 seconds had ticked off the game clock. There couldn't have been a more telling beginning. The Thunder dropped a 97-90 decision to Atlanta on Saturday inside Philips Arena because, once again, Oklahoma City couldn't take care of the basketball. Twenty-one turnovers was the final tally. And a short-handed Hawks squad playing without leading scorer Joe Johnson turned those into 22 points. Eight Thunder players had at least one turnover. Seven had at least two. That's why Oklahoma City left Atlanta with its seven-game winning streak in the rearview mirror. "We got to fix it," Brooks said. "We keep talking about it. We're working on it. But we got to figure out that because it's going to be hard to win night in and night out the way we turn it over." The Thunder entered the night averaging a league-worst 16.75 turnovers. Saturday marked the 10th time the Thunder finished with at least 20 turnovers. "We are an attack team. We are an aggressive team. I understand that. But we still have to be solid with our decisions," Brooks said. "It's unacceptable having 20 turnovers in an NBA game." The biggest problem was that the turnovers snowballed into selfishness. Sound play and selfless passing was quickly replaced with myriad isolations and mounting ineffectiveness. The Thunder finished with a season-low 11 assists, a shockingly low number even for a team that ranks fourth-to-last in the category, but a tell-tale total that displays precisely how OKC got away from trusting the system. "We had a lot of bad ones," said Nick Collison. "I had four myself, and I probably only catch the ball four times a game. We were just playing in traffic, trying to do too much." In spite of the turnovers — which came in just about every way possible — the Thunder managed to hang around and make yet another game a riveting down-to-the-wire finish. The Hawks led by as many as 11 in the second quarter, but the Thunder battled back in the third, outscoring Atlanta 28-23 in the period. A buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Hawks guard Jannero Pargo is all that kept Atlanta from going into the fourth trailing. Even after the Hawks took an eight-point lead following two straight monster dunks by Josh Smith (team-high 30 points and 12 rebounds), it felt like the Thunder would assemble another magical finish. Oklahoma City started this three-game road trip by bouncing back from a brutal third quarter Wednesday at Philadelphia to secure a four-point win over the Sixers. One night later, the Thunder erased an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit to win by three at Orlando. This time, the shots wouldn't drop. Ironically, when it was the Hawks all but trying to give away the game late with, of all things, turnovers, the Thunder couldn't capitalize. Trailing 95-90 with one minute remaining, the Thunder missed its final four shots. After two misses, the Hawks gave the ball right back to the Thunder, the first time when Smith sent a pass sailing over Marvin Williams' head out of bounds, and again when point guard Jeff Teague was whistled for an offensive foul for pushing off on Royal Ivey as he brought the ball up court. "They were good looks, but we probably settled for 3s," Brooks said. "We were down five. I trust our defense. We score, we're down three. And then if we get a stop we can run a play for a 3. But they were good looks. I can't complain about those looks. … We make one of those we're down two with under 30 seconds." It wasn't to be. Instead, the Thunder fell to 29-8 and felt the sting of a loss for the first time since Feb. 15. "It's basketball, man. It's going to happen," said Durant. "We got to figure out how we can get better."
