Turkish Civil Aviation is experiencing a golden age...
The state of Turkish Civil Aviation, from Dr. Ali Arıduru, Director of Civil Aviation
The projects carried out as part of the Regional Aviation Policy launched in 2003 by Transport Minister Binali Yıldırım with the aim that 'Every Turkish citizen will board a plane at least once in his lifetime' have spurred a rapid development of civil aviation in Turkey that has astonished the world.
In 2002 all scheduled domestic flights in Turkey were made by Turkish Airlines to 25 points from two centers. Following the opening up of civil aviation to private companies, five airlines are operating in the country today, from seven centers with flights to a total of 45 destinations.
The number of passengers carried on the domestic routes has climbed from 6,729,000 to 33,546,000, and last year a total of 74,367,000 passengers were carried on the combined domestic and international routes.
Air traffic on the domestic routes, which was 532,053 in 2002, rose to a record-breaking 1,009,064 in 2008. On the domestic routes alone there has been a 143% increase in airplane traffic from 156,000 in 2002 to 385,000 today.
Similarly, the number of companies operating in the civil aviation field, which was only thirteen in 2002, has risen today to seventeen, three of them in the area of cargo transport. With the addition of 132 aircraft, our own fleet of large-bodied Turkish flagship planes has risen from 150 to 282.
At five percent in the world, aviation sector growth in Turkey has reached a record 53.3%. Viewed in terms of its contribution to the economy, the turnover of companies operating in the aviation sector in 2002 was approximately 2.2 billion U.S. dollars; today it is over 7 billion.
To ensure that all these developments in the sector can be effectively sustained, efforts have been made to raise the standards and improve the infrastructure of existing airports rather than building new ones.
During this period eight of our airports have been opened for service in the way just described. At the same time, however, the Build-Operate-Turnover model has also been adopted for non-budget financing of airport terminal buildings, and six terminal buildings, all equipped with latest technology at international standards, have been built to a cost of over one billion U.S. dollars in a gain for the national and world economy without putting a burden on the budget.
In this framework, a second international terminal has been added at Antalya Airport, domestic and foreign terminals have been built at Erzurum, Gaziantep and Ankara Esenboğa Airports, and international terminal buildings have been built at Izmir's Adnan Menderes Airport in the recent period. In addition, construction of a new International Terminal is currently under way at Istanbul's Sabiha Gökçen Airport (on the city's Asian side), which has an annual capacity of 10 million, and is slated to open for service on 29 October 2009.
Developments in Turkish civil aviation are not only taking the form of an increase in number of passengers, they are also manifesting themselves in successes in many other areas such as airports and ground services and guarantees of airport security and flight safety.
Several projects are currently under way to promote the rapid development of the civil aviation sector: the Project to Open Up Idle Airports for Service, the Cross Flight Project, Ataturk Airport Cargo Base Project, Ataturk Airport Expansion and Cargo Facilities Project, the Economic Airport Project, the 'A Heliport for Every Township' Project, the 'A Heliport for Every Skyscraper' Project, the Ambulance Helicopters Project, the Project to Spread the Operation of Air Taxis, the Share-cab Aircraft Project, the Ground Services Development Project, the Green Airport Project, the 'Uncontrolled Airport' Project, and the Project to Turn Turkey into an Aircraft Maintenance and Training Center.
Ninth in Europe in 2006 with a 400% increase in its SAFA/SANA (Safety Assessment of Foreign Aircraft) inspections, Turkey had the highest growth in inspections among the countries of the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC). Once in the lowest rankings among member countries of the 44-member ECAC, Turkey is one of the top five today. It was also among the top five countries in Europe in 2008 in terms of achieving the biggest drop in takeoff and landing delays. Beefing up airport security measures by the day, Turkey has certified all her airports (with the exception of those that are military-civilian joint operations) that are open to international traffic to ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) standards to become one of the top five in Europe.
Besides taking part in the meetings and other activities of the international organizations of which it is a member, our country is also actively involved at the administrative level in the ECAC Coordination Board, the JAA Committee and Board of Directors Chairmanship, EUROCONTROL (European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation) Temporary Council Coordination Committee Membership, and EUROCONTROL Road Fees Expanded Committee Chairmanship. Furthermore, Turkey, which pioneered in including civil aviation among the areas of cooperation of the D-8 countries, has also taken on the important task of Chairmanship of the D-8 Countries Civil Aviation.
The foundations were laid for a regional cooperation with a total of 42 countries by holding meetings with the Directors of Civil Aviation of the KEI, D-8, TRACECA and Mediterranean countries. The basic aim of the Regional Cooperation Project is to create the conditions that will ensure a sharing of their existing potentials between the D-8 countries and the countries of the Middle East, the Caucasus and the Mediterranean so as to ensure cooperation in a number of areas relating to maintenance, training, ground services and civil aviation.
Turkey has bilateral air service agreements with 92 countries allowing civil aviation between their territories. Twenty-five of these agreements allow for flights by a single airline while the other 67 allow for flights by multiple airlines.
Turkey earned EASA Maintenance Accreditation in 2008 both to fulfill her own needs and to sell maintenance services to neighboring countries. Our maintenance firms such as Turkish Tecnic and the other maintenance corporations of private companies provide maintenance at the hangar level for aircraft of several of the world's airlines including some in Europe and America, and are among the maintenance services preferred for such work. Meanwhile, completion of the 'Advanced Technology Industry Park', which will offer services in a number of areas such as transport, foreign trade, aviation and technology, is going to rapidly boost Turkey's potential in the aircraft maintenance market.
As a transit point for cargo movement between Asia and Europe worth billions of dollars, our country is going to become one of the major logistics bases in the world aviation arena in the near future thanks to the international structure of its fleet, its powerful infrastructure and the rapid growth it is experiencing in civil aviation.

Front Sight or No Front Sight that is the question
By Tom Perroni
I have worked as a Firearms Instructor since 1986. I think the most debated topic in the Firearms Industry is the use of the front sight or not using the front sight. No matter whom you take training from, or what book you read or what internet forum or chat room youre in everyone has their own opinion as to weather or not they use the front sight when shooting.
The arguments on both sides are very compelling and they all have good points as to why one choice may be better than the other.
However this article is not going to try and sway you one way or the other, instead I will tell you that I think that both methods are important and have their place in training and real world application. The trick is to have a proper understanding of both training philosophys and use what is needed from both in a given situation.
So lets define Front Sight Shooting as Sighted Firing or using the front sight to line up the firearm with the target to get the bullet to go where you want it to. The lets define Non Front Sight Shooting as Point Shooting or Not using the sights to get the bullet to go where you want it to.(Pointing the firearm in the general direction of the target).
No matter what method you use Front Sight or No Front Sight continued training and practice is the key. I will also say that Combat Mindset is also critical I once had the opportunity to hear a very good firearms instructor say If you had a person armed with a loaded handgun and No Combat Mindset and a person armed with a hammer and Combat Mindset, The person with the proper Combat would win the fight every time.
I have also said at the moment of truth when your life is in danger you will not rise to the occasion you will default to the level of training you have mastered.
So how do we train with both methods? What I teach my students is not Point Shooting but more of indexed fire. At close distances 3-10 feet I teach my students the elbow up, elbow down, handgun canted method. Lets take this step by step:
No matter what stance you use make sure you have a good shooting platform or base to shoot from we begin with the handgun in the holster. Then you hear the command THREAT and then .
1. Non shooting hand comes to the abdomen shooting hand acquires a firm grip on the handgun we release any retention device.
2. The elbow is pulled straight up.
3. The elbow is pushed down and then indexed next to the rib cage the handgun is canted out about 5-10 degrees so the slide is not impeded. The front sight is indexed in the center of the chest of the target. We then begin firing. (One handed)
4. The handgun is moved to the center of the chest (Retention Position) where we acquire a two hand grip. We are still firing at the target.
5. Then we begin to press the gun forward towards the target while we are still firing at the target. Are elbows are partially bent.
6. Then we press the gun completely forward bringing the handgun to our dominant eye or using both eyes we focus on the front sight for the precision shot to the head (Cranial Ocular Cavity) hopefully this stops the threat and ends the fight.
7. We then compress back to the retention position finger off the trigger scanning left and right looking for threats and breaking tunnel vision.
8. Then we compress to Position SUL and scan 360 degrees.
9. Then we reload and holster a fully loaded firearm.
* Note* Once I am comfortable with the skill level of my students I teach them to move off the X. (In all directions) the above method has been called the Zipper Method
In this method we have used both non sighted fire and sighted fire and employed sound tactics to mitigate a threat. I am a BIG proponent of getting as much training as you can from as many instructors as you can so that you have many tools to put in your tactical tool box. So that when you need them you can pull them out and use them as the situation dictates.
Be very Leary of instructors who say never do this or dont do that unless they can explain why! A good instructor should be willing to demonstrate any technique they are teaching and explain how any why the technique works.And if they tell you not to do something they should offer an alternative. I have a saying in my training school. What I teach is A way to do it not THE way to do it.
Stay Safe & Shoot Straight!
Remember that conflict is inevitable .but combat is an option!

The Sun Devil family wishes to remember the life of former football student-athlete Brandon Rodd. Rodd, who was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, passed away in his home state of Hawaii on Friday, February 14, 2014. He was 28.
Rodd, of Aiea, Hawaii, was the epitome of the student-athlete in every concept. Rodd started all 36 games that he appeared in at ASU, as a fixture at left tackle, but also as a guard early in his career. He earned honorable mention All-Pac-10 recognition in each of his final three seasons at ASU. Rodd was a four-time recipient of Pac-10 Conference All-Academic honors, including second-team accolades as a junior and as a senior. He was named to the 2007 Lombardi Award preseason watch list.
In 2007 Rodd started all 13 games at left tackle and earned second-team All-Pac-10 kudos by PhilSteele.com. That same year he was named honorable mention All-Pac-10 and second-team All-Pac-109 All-Academic. Rodd also was named to the ESPN The Magazine's Academic All-District VII team. He was invited to play in the 2008 East-West Shrine and Hula Bowl postseason all-star games. He was named ASU's Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman of the Year and was a main factor in ASU's offense, which ranked third in the Pac-10 in scoring offense at 32.3 ppg.
As a junior in 2006 Rodd started 10 games at left tackle and earned honorable mention All-Pac-10 honors and was named second-team Pac-10 All-Academic. He helped contribute to ASU's offense, highlighted by its greatly improved rushing attack, featuring the highest team total since 1999 and the team's first 1,000-yard rusher since 2001. ASU finished second in the Pac-10 Conference with an average of 169.7 rushing yards per game. As ASU's top left tackle, he protected quarterback Rudy Carpenter's blind-side, helping allow Carpenter to be only the second ASU quarterback in the past 10 seasons to start every game of the year. Rodd was ranked as the No. 51 offensive tackle in the nation by Phil Steele. He was named a preseason first-team All-Pac-10 honoree by Athlon Sports and regarded as a preseason third-team All-Pac-10 member by Phil Steele. A tremendous student, he has twice earned Pac-10 All-Academic recognition. For the second time in his career he was recognized as a Hard Hat Player in the team's winter strength and conditioning program (top five overall).
After graduating from Arizona State University with a degree in business and education, Rodd played professionally in the NFL with the Oakland Raiders and the Buffalo Bills.
A 2003 graduate of Aiea (Hawaii) High School, Rodd was a 2002 All-State football selection and O.I.A. Red Division Football All-Star. He was named Aiea High Lineman of the Week five times in 2003 and was the Aiea High team captain. He was a preseason all-state selection and participated in the H.U.B. Goodwill Football Classic. Rodd was team captain for Higher, Faster, Stronger as a junior and senior. He was the Aiea High Canoe Team Captain. In 2002, Rodd was a O.I.A. White Division Football All-Star and was all-state as a junior. He was the Aiea Lineman of the Week three times. He was an O.I.A. Canoe Team All-Star and was O.I.A. White Division Football All-Star as a sophomore. He made Aiea High Lineman of the Week twice. An excellent student, Rodd lettered four times in football and four years in paddling. He was coached by Wendel Say.
Rodd earned his degree (B.I.S., interdisciplinary studies (business and education) in May of 2007. His mother is Valeriz Lee of Aiea, Hawaii. He has a brother, Jared and two sisters, Aimee and Nicol. He was born Nov. 1, 1985 in Honolulu, Hawaii. His full name was Brandon Edward Kaina Rodd.

Big Bowl
60 E Ohio
Chicago, IL 60611
Big Bowl is a yet another restaurant in the Lettuce Entertain You Enterprise Family of venues. Chicago is proudly served by several of the Lettuce Entertain You Enterprise (LEYE) outlets including 5 Big Bowl locations in the Chicago and Suburban areas. There are more outlets in Minnesota and Virginia.
Offering a substantial menu selection of Chinese and Thai food fair, Big Bowl strives to provide fresh, flavorful, scratch-made Asian cuisine from locally farmed produce, antibiotic and hormone free chicken and beef, fair trade products, and conscientious cooking and business practices.
The Ohio street location is warm and inviting. It is a medium sized venue with a cute bar and Asian inspired decor that isn't so traditional that you feel as if you are staring in a Kung Fu movie. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive without being too intrusive into the dinner conversation. The kitchen service was prompt and accommodating to special dietary request.
We began our night with some bar offerings, as everyone should in my opinion. On offer was a seasonal sangria made fresh to order, ours was a light blended version of the darker wine drink made with white wine and fresh watermelon, delightfully refreshing.
Moving on to the menu, we decided to try the appetizers on the "to share" selection and went with the Thai Herb Calamari. These well cooked rings of fresh squid were lightly battered and fried, served with two dipping sauces. Very tasty and the ample portion was enough for two but was so tasty that we didn't let the server remove the dish without scrabbling for the last bits.
Big Bowl not only lived up to its name by giving us substantially large portions but the dishes were as good as promised with light, fresh flavors, well crafted and balanced symmetry, nicely seasoned, and made to order.
I selected the Kung Pao Noodle dish with chicken for my entrée while my dinner guest selected the Tofu Pad Thai, we both enjoyed them very much. All the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. The hand cut rice noodles in my dish were deliciously gelatinous with just the right balance of veg, meat, and spicy sauce. As I have new food allergies, the kitchen was not able to serve me this dish as per usual as the chicken is marinated in sesame oil, so a very well seasoned substitute was offered. Neither dish was smothered in excessive amounts of sauce or seasoning meant to mask freshness but rather allowed the bold flavors of excellent produce and proteins to shine.
We ended our meal with two choices from the dessert bar, blueberry cheesecake and chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches. The ice cream pressed between two yummy cookies was not some skimpy-on-the-flavor cheap vanilla type but rather a robust full-fat ice cream like the ones we all grew up eating but now have been diet-shamed from enjoying regularly, wonderful. The cookies were crisp and light, they were not too large to enjoy socially and cut in half for easier eating, gladly they presented the dish with two whole sandwiches, as one would not have been enough to share. The cheesecake was a rich plain cheesecake in a nicely proportioned size topped with a fresh blueberry compote and topped with fresh vanilla whipped cream. This items texture was very creamy and lightly sweetened. The richness of both of these treats was a great compliment and contrast to the lightness of the entrées.
Of note: Big Bowl's menu includes Group Share meals $21.99 per adults and $9.99 per child for groups of four or more. These include 3 salads and/or appetizers, 3 entrées, and for $2 more per person you can add a dessert sampler. This type of dinning is in a traditional Asian style of family dinning that inspires conversation and sharing. A great addition to any menu and much better than just another buffet.
Overall, this reviewer was impressed with the overall menu and ambiance and would recommend you stop in for a great dinning experience. Moderately priced, we two dined for a price tag of about $75 including drinks and dessert, well worth the price. Kudos to you Big Bowl.

Health kick: The vegetable risotto at Vegie Bar. Photo: Angela Wylie
No laughing matter, being a comedian. For starters, there is no such thing as a sickie. Case in point: Celia Pacquola, who was away in Sweden for a two-night gig when she became an involuntary exponent of Barry McKenzie's fabled "technicolour yawn". "I went to bed after the first show," Pacquola says, "ordered a sandwich through room service then threw up from midnight to 6am. There's nothing quite as sad as being alone in a hotel room on the other side of the world, throwing up into a toilet while wearing a shower cap - because I couldn't find any hair ties. It would've been funny if I hadn't been so miserable. Any other job you would have taken the day off. But you have to go on so you conserve yourself all day for those 20 minutes on stage."
Comedy festivals? Even worse. "They are quite difficult," Pacquola says. "They run for a month and you always get sick at least once. Everyone does. My biggest fear is losing my voice."
Pacquola says she usually falls ill halfway through a festival but "that's good" - by the time she is doing her last few shows she has regained her mirth-giving mojo. However the health aspect is not why we are here at the Vegie Bar in Fitzroy, surrounded by patrons in knitted caps, channelling the homeopathic vibes of the earth children. It's more like a guilt trip. "I come here to win some points back from my body," she confesses. "For treating it like such crap. So I bring it here and say: 'I'll give you a plate of vegetables and you shut up about the other stuff'."
Payback: The "Mostly Greens" dish at Vegie Bar is perfect for those who want to be kind to their bodies when the late nights catch up.
In Pacquola's world, meals are a constant challenge. Late nights, bar food, a dietary red flag. Here in vegie-land, Pacquola orders a dish with satay sauce that carries the environmentally friendly name of "Mostly Greens". I choose a vegetarian risotto, secretly harbouring a yen for something meaty.
She reflects on that Swedish trip. Every gig has an air of "I don't know how this is going to go" about it and on this one, she had expected most the performers to be speaking Swedish."They always have an international guest," Pacquola says. "That was me. But I was the only act in English. Fortunately most of the audience understood me but I didn't know what the Swedes' sense of humour was like, whether they would understand my sentence structures, whether it would translate in their heads. But it was all right. There were only a few words they had no translation for – 'lanyard' for example. The Swedes don't have a word for it, which is weird. How do you show people you are more important than them in Sweden?"
Who's paying?: What we ordered at Vegie Bar.
The comedian is excited, even overawed. For eight weeks she has been taping Utopia with Working Dog, the secretive outfit that has pumped out so many television winners. "Frontline is my favourite of all time," Pacquola says. "Rob Sitch was brilliant -- and now I've been working with him. It was pretty intimidating." The series – which features a comedian in every role -- revolves around a bureaucratic beast called the National Building Authority. "For once, someone tells me what to say," she says. "The scripts were brilliant. I'm a straight guy, the least ridiculous character, one of the hard-done-by workers in the office dealing with the idiocy that's going on. It's very much a satire about working in an office, the little power plays. I wear a lanyard all the time, walk fast, carry files. Unfortunately they can't play it in Sweden because they don't know what a lanyard is." Pacquola's character is named Nat and, to her delight, she is not killed off, so fingers crossed for a sequel.
It was a fellow comic - a boyfriend - who first pushed Pacquola into stand-up. "Guess what you are doing tonight?" he said one day in 2006, having already booked her a spot in the national Raw Comedy competition. "I was doing theatre and sketch comedy, "she says. "I don't think I would have made the leap by myself." She won a gong for the best first-time entrant – but has since broken up with the boyfriend. Pacquola has dredged much material from her failed romances. "I had one show about long-distance relationships," she says. "I was living half my time in Australia and half in the UK and that doesn't really work. We did really well for a couple of years and then it was all too hard. It was both financially expensive and emotionally expensive. I was writing cheques that my heart couldn't cash."
Nice turn of phrase, that, and it is not from any of her shows. "Just thought of it now," she says. There are snatches of Pacquola on the web. "My boyfriend and I were too different," she told the audience on the Rove McManus show. "I was allergic to cheese and he [pause] hated me. Allergies, waddaya going to do...?" So for the time being, Pacquola is unpartnered and cracks jokes about that too - "Comedy is my mistress" and "I've made an honest woman of my career". The lifestyle has also caused her to lose touch with many of her friends. "Other comedians become your friends," she says.

Her mother Pam is chuffed at her success and may well have supplied the comedy gene. "Mum's very funny without knowing it," Pacquola says. "I heard her on the phone to a friend once: 'It's very exciting - Celia is in the paper and she's not even going to prison.' Mum comes to all the shows."
Pam, an accountant, has done her best to cushion her daughters from the perils of life. "She told me never to buy a car with an electric windows because if you drive in to a dam they won't open," Pacquola says. "Yeah, there has been plenty of advice.What else? If you have long hair be careful swimming near the pool filter. Don't put your birth date on the internet because someone will steal your identity. Don't use an ATM that is not your bank because they charge you. Mum is great, very capable with money and taxes whereas I am hopeless. When I was in London she mailed me a book on how to do tax. I just sent it back saying: 'You know I'm never going to read this'."
Pam was the inspiration for one of Pacquola's shows, Flying Solo, after her mother took lessons and got a pilot's licence. Mother, who separated from her husband after Pacquola had left home, can also be handy providing accommodation when her daughter is back in town. In this transient stand-up life Pacquola flits between Melbourne and the UK, sub-letting the rented room that she is vacating. "One of my two older sisters, Lia, lives in London, so that's handy too," she says. Her other sister, Amalia, lives in Melbourne. "We all have names ending in 'lia'," Pacquola says. "Not sure why."
The bill, please.
One thing Pam can't shield her daughter from is the bane of all comedians, the heckler. "That's one of the reasons I go to England," Pacquola says. "It toughens me up. Over there hecklers are regarded as part of the show, they do it for fun. That doesn't happen as much here." She seems to have copped more flak during her secondary school years in the Yarra Valley. "High school girls can really not be very nice," she says. "They can psychologically destroy each other. I did well at school academically but on a personal level it was horrible. You just don't know who you are and you think that is the whole world. You can't see anything past it. You are locked in with these people at the most awkward stage of your life and you might have nothing in common with them. And by year 12 these are the same people who knew you when you were really awkward. But I think that helped me become a comedian."

The classes provide you with the education and support to facilitate weight loss. These classes are taught by a registered dietitian, physician assistant and health psychologist, and the class setting will help you understand your own weight issues.
Couldn't I just do this with a nationally-known weight loss program?
While other programs can be helpful, our program uses a team approach intended to help you with all aspects of your weight struggle. Our goal is to help you manage your weight without having to diet any more.
How long can I come to the classes?
Class duration ranges from eight to 10 sessions (Lifestyle Program) to six months (Very Low Calorie Diet). Once you complete the classes we offer an ongoing support group that you can attend.
Can children participate in the medical weight loss programs?

It's bathing suit season, and the last thing you want to worry about is shaving everyday, especially around your sensitive bikini area. Brazilian waxing is quick and less painful (and less embarrassing) than you think, and it lasts much longer than shaving, too.
Michelle Kobernik, Got Beauty's Lead Master Aesthetician, has 12 years of experience waxing and makes Brazilians a breeze. We chatted with Michelle this week for a little Q&A guide to what Got Beauty calls "The Best Brazilian North of Rio."
Michelle Kobernik, Got Beauty's Brazilian Waxing Expert
SLM: What are the benefits of waxing compared to shaving or other hair removal methods?
MK: Waxing lasts longer than shaving because you pull the hair out from the roots, and there are no cuts or nicks like you get from a razor. You will find that with regular waxing your hairs become finer and grow slower. The best thing about waxing is your skin is so smooth, no stubble! It is very important to avoid shaving between waxing appointments, as this will interrupt the process and stimulate the hair growth again.
SLM: What's the best way to prepare for a waxing appointment?
MK: Be sure you have at least a 1/4 inch of hair growth, 1/2 inch for course hair. That's usually about seven to ten days of growth if you've been shaving. Soft hair follicles release hair more easily, thus making the waxing process less painful. So it is helpful to exfoliate with a loofah or exfoliating gloves the day before waxing. As far as pain medication goes, I don't suggest it. If it's your first time please let us know and we will walk you through every step.
SLM: What should a client expect from her appointment?
MK: Hairless skin! Everyone's skin reacts differently to waxing treatments, but you can expect to have temporary redness and minor irritation for a day or two. Try to avoid heavy exercise that will increase perspiration and chaffing for about 24-48 hours after waxing.
SLM: How often does a client need to follow up?
MK: Regular waxing is essential. Most clients come in every four weeks. The skin will be less sensitive and the hair becomes finer if waxing is done every four weeks.
SLM: What is the best way to prevent ingrown hairs between appointments?
MK: I suggest exfoliating with a loofah and exfoliating gloves, alternating between the two. Some people are more prone to ingrown hairs, in which case adding a topical exfoliant is a must. My favorite go to is a miracle product at Got Beauty called Tend Skin. I would definitely add it to your exfoliation program.
SLM: Any other important pieces of advice for waxing?
MK: Breathe and relax! The experience is super quick and speedy... and if you do have sensitive skin, any pain is very minor and very temporary! Keep the waxed area protected from direct sunlight for 12 hours, no hot baths, hot tubs, or community pools for 24 hours. Should irritation occur, use an antibiotic ointment, aloe vera, or hydrocortisone cream to keep the area moist and to avoid infection.

Julie Jacobson, Associated Press
MENLO PARK, Calif. — Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are donating $120 million to the San Francisco Bay Area's public school system.
The couple's gift will be spread over the next five years and is the biggest allocation to date of the $1.1 billion in Facebook stock the couple pledged last year to the nonprofit Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
"Education is incredibly expensive and this is a drop in the bucket. What we are trying to do is catalyze change by exploring and promoting the development of new interventions and new models," Chan said in an interview Thursday at Facebook's Menlo Park, California, headquarters.
The first $5 million will go to school districts in San Francisco, Ravenswood and Redwood City and will focus on principal training, classroom technology and helping students transition from the 8th to the 9th grade. The couple and their foundation, called Startup: Education, determined the issues of most urgent need based on discussions with school administrators and local leaders.
Zuckerberg and Chan, a pediatrician, discussed the donation in an exclusive interview with the Associated Press. It was Chan's first significant step into the public spotlight and the couple's premier interview together. The two met while studying at Harvard and married in their Palo Alto backyard on May 19, 2012 — the day after Facebook's stock began publicly trading in a rocky initial public offering that now seems a distant memory. In 2010, they joined Giving Pledge, an effort led by Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett to get the country's richest people to donate most of their wealth.
"I'm really focused on connecting the world. That's my main thing, and you're primarily focused on children," said Zuckerberg, turning to Chan. "And we're able to do some of this work together, which is neat...There are interesting overlaps."
Chan, 29, and Zuckerberg, 30, have made philanthropy a central theme of their life together. The two made the largest charitable gift on record for 2013. That $1.1 billion donation was on top of another $500 million the couple gave a year earlier to the Silicon Valley foundation, which helps donors allocate their gifts.
"I just think that philanthropy is a fancy way to say that you care about others and that you want to serve others. And that's been a part of me for as long as I can remember," said Chan, fresh from a pediatrics residency shift at the University of California, San Francisco medical center, where she works primarily with underserved, immigrant families. "(We) have this amazing opportunity it's really important to me that we use this opportunity to continue to give back and create even more change to affect other people's lives."
Last year, Zuckerberg was No. 21 on the Forbes list of the world's richest people, right behind Amazon's Jeff Bezos and ahead of well-known billionaires such as activist investor Carl Icahn and philanthropist George Soros. He owns Facebook stock worth over $27 billion. In 2013, as the median yearly pay for U.S. CEOs crossed the $10 million mark amid a widening income gap, Zuckerberg took a symbolic annual salary of $1.
Though it's been long in the works, the latest gift comes at a time when critics are still questioning what became of Zuckerberg's $100 million donation to Newark, New Jersey's public school system. Four years ago, he announced the donation flanked by then-mayor Cory Booker and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. A recent New Yorker article criticizes the donation and the chain of events it set in motion. While well-intentioned, the money has so far failed to fix the city's ailing school system. The process lacked meaningful community input and much of the money has been spent on high-paid contractors and consultants. Four years later, the money is nearly gone and a lot of people are angry. The story's most poignant quote is from Vivian Cox Fraser, president of the Urban League of Essex County, who says "Everybody's getting paid, but Raheem still can't read."

Ice Cream Sandwich numbers continue to improve
If you've been following along here, you likely saw the article last month about how only 7.1% of Android device users could play audio in their browser using the <audio> tag. Updated figures were provided by Google recently that put Ice Cream Sandwich usage share at 10.9% now, an increase of 3.8 points since last month. In what hopefully signals a shift away from an antiquated version of the Android operating system, Gingerbread usage share decreased by 1 point to 64%. Usage share numbers for Jelly Bean, the newest release of Android were not included in Google's figures.

The authority cited the economic downturn and market forces making it unable to sell the course to a developer at a price that would enable it to pay down $12 million in debt on the property. The authority said its one prospective buyer for the course proposed paying $7 million, which would have left a $5 million shortfall.
The authority did not immediately release the identity of the prospective buyer. In a statement from the authority, Vice-Chairman David Transue said the authority board is "willing to partner with (Dauphin County and Swatara Twp.) to help defray the debt costs of the course through such incentives as special discounted rates for residents and increased marketing."

Top 10 iOS 7 Tricks You Must Know: Blocking Calls To Connecting With Other iPhones
Now that many new iPhone 5S, 5C and 5 have arrived as gift bringing more people to the club, it would be interesting for new adopters to learn a few tricks on iOS 7 firmware.
1. Number Blocking
Now you don't have to install separate apps to block unwanted calls. The new iPhone you got offers an option to do that. Simply go to your iPhone's Settings > Phone > Blocked. Tap over "Add New" and enter the number you want to block.
2. Hidden Control Panel
There is a full fledged control panel on the new iOS 7 powered iPhone that offers all the frequently used settings options. To access the hidden control panel, simply swipe up your screen from the bottom of the display. As you will notice there are options like brightness control, Wifi toggle, Bluetooth toggle, and many more. Interestingly, there is this flashlight button also to use rear LEDs as a torch.
3. Connecting With Other iPhones
Among the set of buttons and controls in the newly added Control Panel mentioned above. There is this "AirDrop" button located in the middle of the panel. You can use the AirDrop button to wirelessly transfer photos, links and even contacts to nearby handsets.
4. SMS time record
The much-anticipated feature is now included with the new firmware. You can check the time text message arrived on your phone. To see the SMS time, simply open that particular message and swipe from the right to left on your iPhone screen.
5. Automatic Apps and Games Update
Unlike previous iOS, you can now make updates happen automatically instead of doing it manually from the App store. To make updates without delay simply go to your iPhone Settings > iTunes > App Store and enable the "Updates" option.
6. Spotlight Search
Your iPhone powered by iOS 7 offers a quick access to search bar to find anything on your phone. Simply, swipe down in the middle of your home screen, and you will find the Spotlight search option on the top.
7. Level Meter on iPhone
The Compass app by default now offers a level meter also. To access the newly added level tool, launch the Compass app, then swipe from the right to left, and you will find the level meter.
8. Free iTunes Radio
You can now enjoy an endless stream of free songs on your iPhone 5S and other iPhones running iOS 7. The new iTunes Radio offers free music streaming over the Internet, simply start the Music app on your phone and tap over the "Radio" button located at the bottom.
9. Youtube and Google Maps Requirements
Unlike previous iOS and iPhone, the new handset requires you to download the YouTube and Google Map apps from the iTunes app store. Simply, start the App store app and search for Google Maps and Youtube and install it. They are free and better than the stock mapping solution from Apple.
10. Stopping background apps draining battery
There are apps running in the background draining your iPhone battery. Now, you can tell those apps not to run in the background by going to the phone Settings >> General >> and enabling Background App Refresh.

I'm using SharePoint 2007. I have created Custom list. On that list I need to create read-only view.
There's no such thing as read only view. You can remove rights to edit items from users so they will not be able to open items for edit and SharePoint will remove all interface for editing items. And you cannot disallow users to change current view. And remember of Access view.
Anyway if you still want to do it I can suggest to use DataViewWebPart and manually delete any editing capabilities. And you don't have to create it from scratch - you can convert traditional ListViewWebPart connected to your desired list into the DahaViewWebPart in a few clicks.

The AMITRAN project will develop a framework for the evaluation of the effects of ICT measures in traffic and transport on energy efficiency and CO2 emissions. By doing so, it will contribute to the development of ICT solutions that allow more efficient multimodal goods transport and passenger mobility. It is AMITRAN's ambition to build the foundations for a standardised assessment of future European ICT developments.
Earlier studies indicate possible CO2 reductions up to 25% based on certain ICT measures. AMITRAN provides the methodology and tools to assess such reductions at European level in a systematic and realistic way. This will support developers, public authorities and investors in ICT solutions to make sound decisions based on reliable impact estimates, covering the complete transport chain.
Top EU transport R&D institutes have bundled forces to cooperate in AMITRAN. There will be cooperation with recent and ongoing EU projects where ICT applications and tools are developed which potentially contribute to CO2 reduction (e.g. eCoMove and COFRET). As active participants in those projects, the AMITRAN project partners will ensure direct liaison with these projects.
DLR is responsible for the identification of user needs for a general assessment framework as well as for the categorisation of ITS in order to facilitate their assessment. Furthermore, the development of the assessment framework itself and the interfaces for assessment tools (traffic simulation models) will be supported.
AMITRAN's objectives are:

What are the feelings that come over you when you enter your home or a particular room in that home? Do you feel warm and comfortable or does it make you feel uneasy or cold? You may not realize what is causing that feeling but the majority of the time it's the colors of the walls, flooring and the furnishings.
A brightly lit room that's painted or paneled in a dark color will seem cramped and busy. You will notice any scratches or imperfections in the walls or woodwork and any discoloration in the rugs or furnishings. Instead of appreciating the size of the room and the beautiful sunlit aura, you will be drawn to the negative aspects of the room.
Change the colors to light neutral tones and light woodwork and replace the flooring and furnishings to lighter colors, bright accents and a variety of textures the room will blossom into a warm, wonderful place to be.
Check out your bedrooms. Do the feel inviting, relaxing and cozy? No? Well maybe it's the bright yellow paint or the busy bedding and drapes. Your bedroom is a place to relax, not a place to be stimulated by bright colors and confusing prints.
Cool colors such as pale greens and blues tend to calm and relax. Solid colored fabrics and soft mono-colored patterns won't fight for your attention. Soft flowing fabrics and fluffy pillows smooth out the corners and angles in the room. Soft but adequate lighting is all a bedroom needs. If you need more light, you need to be in a room other than you bedroom.
When you enter your bathroom (either your own or you hall bath) and close the door, does it feel like it's closing in on you? Is there a hectic wall paper surrounding you or a dark crimson closing in on you from all sides? A bathroom should say two things, Simple and Clean.
Installing good lighting, hard, easy to clean surfaces and neutral colors in a bathroom will make it seem larger, cleaner and safer to use. Simplicity in a small room seems to expand the space. One dominate color will make the room seem larger and less engulfing. Smooth surfaces are easier to maintain in a room that has to scream "Clean" to both family and visitors.
Does that kitchen seem drab and out of date but you can't afford granite counters and new appliances? Here again color and texture can come to the rescue.
A coat of paint on the walls and refinishing those drab, dark cabinets can bring an older kitchen to life. A ceramic tile back-splash will modernize and update and is easy on the pocket book. Ceramic tile floors are easy to maintain and will bring color and serviceability to your kitchen.
To Summarize; You need to take each room in your home into separate consideration as to it's use, it's functionality and the message it sends to those who enter it. Ask yourself these questions: 1. Is this a public or private portion of the house? 2. What is this room used for? 3. What message do I want to convey in this room? 4. How can I make this room do and say what I want it to? When you have answered these questions, you are on your way to deciding what to do with the room and what color palate you need to use to accomplish it. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN WITH IT!

Football: Weekly Picks
Besides, I just checked Tampa Bay's game log, and guess what? Five of the Bucs' six wins have come by at least a touchdown — and four have come by double digits. At home, they're 4-1, with three wins of seven points or more. That's good enough for me.
Prediction: Buccaneers
South Carolina +3 vs. ClemsonYou have a better chance of seeing God this week than you do seeing Clemson getting up for this game after their ACC Championship hopes went up in smoke with that indefensible home loss to Boston College last week.
Pardon my bitterness, but I got sucked in by the Tigers last week. They were at home, they were coming off an impressive four-game winning streak — in which they outscored their opponents 191-51 — and they were facing a deflated Boston College squad that had lost back-to-back games after starting 8-0. To top it off, a berth in the ACC title game was on the line. It was THE perfect situational play that demanded that you back the team that was riding high against an opponent that was down in the dumps. So, of course I made Clemson my biggest play of the week.
Only one problem — I completely ignored the Tommy Bowden Factor. Not familiar with the Tommy Bowden Factor? Let me enlighten you. Whenever a Tommy Bowden-coached team is playing an important game that they're supposed to win… they will lose. Sure enough, Clemson lost 20-17, blowing second-half leads of 10-3 and 17-13.
What's the good thing for me? There's more to the Tommy Bowden Factor, and it's this: When the inevitable does happen and Bowden blows a big game, he has no idea how to motivate his players to get up for the next game — they generally come out the next week and get their tails kicked. For instance, after starting this season 3-0 with three double-digit wins, Clemson kicked off its ACC schedule at Georgia Tech and lost 13-3 as a three-point road favorite. What happened the very next week? They came back to base camp as a six-point home favorite and Virginia Tech whacked 41-23.
Brandon Lang goes against the rivalry cliché…

AMHERST, Mass. - Freshman Pam Rosanio (Southampton, Pa.) scored a career-high 24 points as the University of Massachusetts women's basketball team (11-7, 4-3 A-10) defeated Saint Joseph's (4-15, 2-5), 62-61, Monday afternoon at the Mullins Center. The game was originally scheduled for Jan. 23, but rescheduled due to the Blizzard of 2005. Whitney Ffrench missed a shot at the buzzer which would have won the game for Saint Joseph's.
The Minutewomen trailed by six points with 12 minutes remaining in the game before going on a run. It started as senior Edris Bailey (Mt. Hope, Trinidad & Tobago) stole the ball and set up Rosanio for a lay-up with 11:48 left. A few seconds later, redshirt junior Katie Nelson (Ellicott City, Md.) set up senior Brooke Campbell (Baltimore, Md.) with another fast-break lay-up and forced Saint Joseph's to use a timeout as the lead was cut to two. Rosanio then came up with another steal and drove the length of the floor with the tying lay-up.
The teams exchanged baskets for the next few minutes until Rosanio drained a three-pointer at the 5:53 mark to give the Minutewomen their first lead since mid-way through the first half. With the score tied at 55 and under four minutes left, freshman Kate Mills (Elkton, Md.) scored inside to give UMass a 57-55 lead. Erica Pollock tied it up on the other end with a pair of free throws. UMass then got the lead back a few seconds later as Mills scored inside off a feed from Rosanio. Timisha Gomez scored as the teams went down the other end and tied the game up at 59. Following a shot clock violation, UMass took the ball down the floor and under a minute remaining. Mills was fouled and made them both to give UMass a 61-59 lead with 41 seconds left. After an SJU miss, Nelson was sent to the line with 22 seconds left. She made one of two and Erica Pollock quickly scored on the other end to make it a one-point UMass lead. Nelson was fouled again with 10 seconds left and missed the front end of the one-and-one. Saint Joseph's went back down the floor and Whitney Ffrench missed the game-winning shot. UMass redshirt junior Patrycja Gulak (Olsztyn, Poland) pulled down the rebound as the buzzer sounded and the Minutewomen escaped with the win.
Rosanio scored her career-high 24 points on 9-of-18 shooting from the field. Campbell also added 12 points and seven boards for the Minutewomen. Nelson chipped in with eight points and three assists. UMass shot 40 percent from the field and 75 percent from the free throw line. The Hawks shot 42 percent from the field and and 73 from the line. UMass was out-rebounded, 34-31, but committed a season-low 11 turnovers.
The Minutewomen will head to New York for a pair of games this weekend. Up first, UMass will take on St. Bonaventure Friday at 12:00 PM. Then the Minutewomen will play at Fordham on Sunday at 2:00 PM. Both games can be heard live on WMUA, 91.1 FM and at www.umassathletics.com beginning a half-hour before tip-off.

Editor's Note: Our subscribers were given a 2013 issue of Utah Bride & Groom with their April issues. A reader sent us this note after receiving her package.
Truly, this was one of the best issues. So many places to eat, such great photos of Salt Lake City ("SLC Has Risen"), and we CSI fans are intrigued by our local CSI story ("DNA Crime Busters"). Add that to the bonus of the wedding issue!
—Cece Holt, Salt Lake City subscriber
Editor's note: Executive editor, Mary Brown Malouf interviewed gun advocate Janalee Tobias for "Gun Lovin' Utah," a story in our February 2013 issue. Tobias responded with this letter.
What a great article. You covered all the main arguments and issues about guns in Utah. I posted the article (which was also published on saltlakemagazine.com) on as many gun Facebook sites as I could as well as my own page. Thank you for your portrayal. I especially like that you quoted me as saying, "The right to have a gun is more important than the gun itself." You and Salt Lake magazine represent this area with a lot of class.

I've played Hackycat on the iPad for a few hours and have had five cats active many times. However, no matter how tightly grouped I have all five cats, I have never observed a "quintuple" bonus. I consistently produce consecutive "quadruple" bonuses with the five cats.
Has anyone observed, or know if it is possible to get, a quintuple kick bonus?
