Campbell County Property Transfers
Oct. 18- Oct. 22
Robert Johnston to Whitney N. Wilson and Toby L. Wilson, Dist. 3, $79,900.
David K. Zornes and Brenda J. Zornes to Nicholas M. Polazkowyj and Jessica B. Polazkowyj, Dist. 2, $262,000.
No one was quite so surprised as Campbell County High School's boys when the announcement was made for them to receive the runner-up trophy Thursday afternoon following the Cove Lake Cross-Country Invitational.
The announcement for them to step forward had to be made more than once, as the Cougars mingled with onlookers, not even thinking that they were in the running for a trophy with the likes of Christian Academy of Knoxville, Catholic and Bell County, Ky. among the competition.
The Cougars finished 34 points behind CAK in the team standings.
The playoff journey is over for the Jacksboro and LaFollette middle school football teams.
Both the Eagles and Owls were eliminated after semifinal losses Thursday night.
Jacksboro was defeated 12-6 in overtime at Clinton in a game that was eerily similar to the regular season meeting between the two teams.
Clinton also won the earlier game, 16-14, in overtime on Jacksboro's field.
Answering a complaint call at the Super 8 Motel in Caryville resulted in three arrests last week. The complaint was from local business owners who claimed one of the renters was harassing people for money, said Caryville Police Sgt. Freddy Walker.
When Caryville Police knocked on the door of room 110 two women answered. A third suspect was in the bathroom of the room, said Walker.
The following is a weekly summary of the fishing conditions on Norris Lake as reported by creel clerks from the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA).
The lake level on Friday, Oct. 22 was 1,004.91, which is a over foot lower than the previous week.
Surface temperature readings taken during the afternoon hours are in the low 70s.
The water is clear, with as much as eight feet of visibility at some locations on the lower end of the lake.
If the slurred speech didn't give him away then the open beer cans indicated a Caryville man could be driving intoxicated.
On Saturday, Daniel Boone Hall, 62, was charged with his third DUI. Hall was observed driving on Highway 116, swerving across the yellow lines, said Caryville officer Ben Marlow.
"From a distance, I observed Hall walk unsteadily to and from his vehicle," said Marlow about Hall entering a gas station then returning to his vehicle to drive off.
Quail hunt set Nov. 6
for young sportsmen
On Saturday, Nov. 6, the Knoxville chapter of Quail Forever and Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency will sponsor a quail hunt at the McGhee-Carson Unit of the Tellico Lake Wildlife Management Area in Monroe County.
Campbell County Children's Center received a monetary donation despite not being chosen to receive $250,000 from the Pepsi Refresh Project.
The organization recently learned it was were not recipients of a large grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project. But during the process of telling the community to vote for its cause the center garnered approximately $36,000 in private donations.
Children's Center CEO Tracie Davis said the project was a success because community awareness was raised about the organization's services.

To have a shot at playing for its second NCAA softball championship, top-seeded Cal will have to maneuver its way past some of the nation's top pitchers in its half of the College World Series bracket.
The assignment certainly has the Bears' attention. They open bracket play Thursday in Oklahoma City against LSU.
"I don't feel like there's pressure, but I do feel like there is a lot of talk about people wanting to beat us because we have been in the No. 1 spot for a long time," freshman shortstop Cheyenne Cordes said. "Our ranking is not going to help us. The playing field is very even."
Pitching may be the equalizer. Oklahoma, South Florida and Cal rank 1-2-3 nationally in team ERA, and the Bears will face one of the hottest pitchers in the NCAA tournament in LSU junior right-hander Rachele Fico.
"Every team here has a great pitcher with a great ERA," said Cal coach Diane Ninemire. "It's the best of the best."
Winners of each of the tournament's four-team double-elimination brackets will be determined Sunday, and those two teams will meet beginning Monday in a best-of-three series for the NCAA championship.
Fico did not pitch when the Bears (56-5) scored an easy 14-3 win over LSU (39-23) on Feb. 19 at a tournament in Las Vegas. She brings a collegiate-best 0.92 ERA to Oklahoma City and is 4-0 in the postseason, including two shutouts.
"She has been phenomenal," LSU first-year coach Beth Torina said. "She's carried us throughout the year."
Fico measures up nicely against Cal ace Jolene Henderson, who is 5-0 in NCAA games with an 0.48 ERA and a current streak of 23 consecutive scoreless innings.
Fourth-seeded Oklahoma (50-8), whom Cal could face Friday if it gets past LSU, features San Jose native Keilani Ricketts. The junior left-hander this week earned USA Softball's Collegiate Player of the Year award.
A graduate of Archbishop Mitty High, Ricketts is 33-7 with 393 strikeouts in the circle and is batting .407 with 16 home runs. Even so, that ranks her only third among the Sooners in homers, behind freshman Lauren Chamberlain (27) and junior Jessica Shults (19).
But Oklahoma has pitching to go with its power, boasting the nation's No. 1 team ERA at 1.15. Cal is third at 1.21.
Sandwiched between the two is South Florida (50-12), which puts its 1.18 ERA on the line Thursday against Oklahoma. Bulls ace Sara Nevins, a sophomore lefty, has an 0.49 ERA in six postseason games.
There are more heavyweights in the other four-team bracket, led by No. 2 seed Alabama, which knocked Cal out of last year's CWS, and No. 3 seed Arizona State, the defending national champion. Teams can bounce into the opposite bracket if they lose either of their first two games.
Cal's immediate focus is on LSU, which has overcome one of the nation's weakest offenses to reach the World Series. The Tigers' batting average of .221 is 267th out of 283 Division I teams. They have hit just 13 home runs, compared with 81 by Cal and 95 by Oklahoma.
The Tigers have scored no more than one run in 25 of 62 games, but Henderson said she expects to see a different LSU team this time.
"There's a difference between games early in the season and postseason," the Bears' junior pitcher said. "Being in the College World Series means we need to be at the top of our game."
LSU's Torina said her team has figured things out. "We're finally in a spot where we understand who we are as a team," Torina said. "We do a great job of manufacturing runs, but it took us a while to get to that."
Torina said Cal presents a combination of power, pitching and speed comparable to anyone in the SEC. "They do it so well, maybe a little bit better," she said.
The 14 runs Cal scored on the Tigers three months ago tied a record for the most LSU has allowed in a game. Slugger Valerie Arioto did not have any of the Bears' four homers in that game, but Torina called the senior from Pleasanton "arguably the best player in the game."
"We're tired. We were almost up for 24 hours straight," Ninemire said by phone before a noon practice Wednesday. "It's just another obstacle we've got to work through."
Cal's four-team bracket at the College World Series in Oklahoma City features some of the nation's top pitchers. Here's how they rank in the NCAA in ERA:
1. Rachele Fico, LSU 20-11 0.92
3. Keilani Ricketts, Oklahoma 33-7 0.99
4. Sara Nevins, South Florida 31-6 1.03
5. Jolene Henderson, Cal 36-2 1.10

SUCCESS!! We recently shipped a 20-foot container (2013) packed with equipment & medications, including: an ultrasound, x-ray unit, 2 defibrillators & 220 spinal anesthesia trays & more ... The clinic gets to keep the container for use as a medical storage unit. (thank you Clear Lake Regional Medical Center & American Tank & Vessel & Heart to Heart International!) We also purchased a brand-new Welch Allyn video colposcope (Valued at $9,000) for cervical cancer screenings at the soon-to-open Women's Center in Kono, thanks to Dorsey Kastetter's generous donation!
Thanks Medical Executive Committee!
WMP is a Texas-based, non-profit 501c3 organization dedicated to healthcare support and humanitarian outreach through various aid projects. The group sponsors medical, vision and surgical teams, provides disaster relief, and builds community facilities. The organization has serviced 16 countries in 11 years – including Bulgaria , Burundi, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Ghana, India, Nicaragua, Mexico, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Swaziland, Togo, Uganda, USA, Viet Nam & Zambia.
We saw loads of cataracts (approx. 40%), an unreal amount of pterygiums (approx. 75%), some really bad corneal ulcers (approx. 10%), and glaucoma. One kid had some eye trauma, and one kid had a splinter deep in his eye that Tom took out. We had a local nurse anesthetist come by and perform conscious sedation and Tom did surgery without Lidocaine, using a needle taped to a Q-tip. The picture of the boy shows the "vital signs monitoring" that they do by simply taping a stethoscope to the person's chest… wow. The saddest case by far was a 4-month-old girl born with 2 congenital cataracts; I have to wonder what her future will be like.
During our visit, we trained both the staff at the Amputee clinic and also several nurses from the Koidu Government Hospital on eye anatomy, disease, trauma, and eye health, as well as correcting refractive errors of hyperopia, myopia, presbyopia, and astigmatisms. We trained both staffs and donated over 350 pounds of medications, supplies and equipment, including a manual focometer, 540 pairs of eyeglasses, and a vital signs monitor. During the clinics, we offered the assessment and treatment or referral of cataracts, pterygiums, corneal ulcers, glacoma, trachoma, etc., and the distribution of prescription eyeglasses. Tom also offered the docs and some of the nurses a short course on treating certain traumas, including splinting and advanced wound care.
The hospitals there are, even for West African standards, beyond ill-equipped… but healthcare staffing may indeed be their #1 problem. As an example, the Koidu Govt Hosp. with over 140 beds, has no equipment, not even one working O2 tank. (I did see 2 suction units and one IV pump, but the nurses didn't know if they worked!)
When we walked into sterilizing room with sterilization nurses, they stood in front of 5 stovetop autoclaves (glorified pressure cookers really, that boil for 35 minutes to sterilize). But later we found out that only ONE stovetop autoclave worked (others are broken). They heat the autoclave with an antiquated propane tank.
The 2 functioning O.R.'s they use for 15-20 surgeries a week have no electric or running water and zero equip ---- not even an O2 tank or one monitor of any kind. If they have an emergency c-section at night, they use a diesel-powered generator... The sad part is they have an ultrasound and an x-ray in boxes that no one knows how to set up or use.
There is a Methodist Eye Hospital in Kissy, about 20 minutes outside of Freetown, and it's the only real eye hospital outside of Connaught Teaching Hospital in capital city. The surgeon in Kissy said there are only 2 ophthalmologists in the country right now and there are 5 "cataract nurses" that also are performing cataract surgeries in the country. There is only 1 hematologist and 3-5 OB/GYN's in the entire nation.
Sierra Leone itself was surprisingly beautiful --- very lush, muddy, and the rains come on quickly and are extreme, sudden downpours! I certainly would hate to see what the "rainy season" (late July- Sept) looks like, the roads must be impassable. Getting around the country can make a sane person rather insane…frustrating, and the absolutely worst traffic jams I have ever witnessed (rivaling Cairo). You have to take an overcrowded and crazy ferry to get to/from airport in Lungi, which is, in itself, a wade into cultural waters that hits you smack upon arrival, jetlagged or not, no matter. The Krio (native language) is quirky – a pidgin English with expressions like "Go fast, small, small", and kids are "Pikins" and you ask for "dem book yonder dah." I cannot think of anything good to say about the food, so I won't!! The main meal is "ko-kri" which is rice (main staple) topped with cooked potato leaves fried in palm oil.
In another exciting note, we got to tour the "Africa Mercy" of Mercy Ships.org…it was a huge organization of 400 crew members (60% medical; 40% other) from 40+ nations. They had 6 OR's, dental and eye clinics and they run "specialty" sessions for cataract operations, etc. Mercy Ships was showing the award-winning "Pride of Lions" documentary that highlights some of Dr. Barrie and Dr. Kelly's work with amputees in Kono.
We also had 2 interviews (one live & one taped) on the national Sierra Leone Broadcast Corp. (SLBC) radio…the only national radio station. But we were able to talk about wearing sunglasses with U.V. protection & they invited everyone to the free clinics. People also called in with questions about their eye problems…it was fun as 2 nurses translated into Krio for us.
Pictured below is the happiest moment of the trip. The day before we left, we decided to donate our vital signs monitor (that everyone was soooo in awe of….!!!) to WellBodi Alliance's Amputee Clinic in Kono --- see the happy expressions on Dr. Bailor Barrie and Dr. Dan Kelly!! Dr. Barrie said of the monitor: "This is my heart. We will take great care of it. And when you come back, it will be working and in good order, you'll see."
In this tiny West African nation, a shocking one out of seven women dies during childbirth. If she lives in a rural area, she may not have the emergency transportation she needs to seek medical care from a midwife or hospital – and if she is lucky enough to get to medical care, she may not have the $3.50 she needs to pay for her medicine and treatment.
In Sierra Leone:
"Thousands of women bleed to death after giving birth. Most die in their homes. Some die on the way to hospital; in taxis, on motorbikes or on foot. In Sierra Leone, less than half of deliveries are attended by a skilled birth attendant and less than one in five are carried out in health facilities." – Amnesty International
To help combat this appalling lack of healthcare, World Missions Possible is set to launch a "Mobile Maternity Care-A-Van" outreach in Port Loko, northern district Sierra Leone, in an eight-village wide rural village span (Santigiya, Mapeh, Kholea, Sanya, Dentheh, Kipolo & Kontehya) in Kaffu Bullom area…. But we need your help! Please review our list of needs and also ask your local OB/GYN, doctor, clinic, neighbor, or church member to look at our list of basic needs and see what they can do to help.
BASIC "Mobile Maternity" Equipment:
1. Blood Pressure Cuffs & Stethoscopes
2. Hand-held *hospital-grade thermometers (1 tympanic & 1 adult digital = $640): (Recommendation: Welch Allyn "First Temp GENIUS" (approx. $390) takes very accurate temps, esp. kids 100+-degree temps) pediatric tympanic thermometer. Recommendation: Welch Allyn "SureTemp" (approx. $250) for reliable adult temp.
3. Hand-held vascular Doppler & gel.
Example: Nicolet Elite 100 Non-Display Doppler (approx. $500)
(The purpose of a doppler is to find and confirm the fetal heartbeat by measuring blood flow – this can indicate a possible miscarriage or if the baby is in distress (like low oxygen), which can lead to fetal damage or death.)
4. Oxygen Delivery: O2 tanks, O2 tubing, nasal cannulas & O2 masks (infant and adult)
5. Stovetop (non-electric) Autoclave for sterilization ($350) (The ALL AMERICAN Non-Electric Cast Aluminum Dry Steam Sterilizer model 1925X and has a 25 quart liquid capacity. These sterilizers have been made since 1930 and there are several million in service all over the world: Fast, 35 minute sterilizing cycle: Calibrated Gauge that shows when sterilization cycle begins. Any outside heat source can be used such as a hot plate or stove top. Lubricated Metal-to-Metal Seal which means no gaskets to wear out.)
6. Suction: 50 Delee suction cathetersfor suctioning baby's airway at birth ($ 120)
Continued "Basic" Needed Supply List:
o BVM - infant & adult ambu-bags
o Umbilical cord tape
o Exam gloves (Nitrile or heavy grade for HIV patient care)
o Stainless steel vaginal speculum(s)
o Infant scale
o Pregnancy & HIV testing supplies

To get started, we approximate the cost for all "basic" equipment for the Mobile Maternity Care-A-Van to cost no more than $ 2,000, and the cost for "basic" levels of supplies to be $1,500. The average salary of a licensed and qualified nurse/midwife in the country is $4,500 a year, and the cost of a used van for the transport of the nurse and/or the patient to receive life-saving medical care is approx. $10,000.
Any & all supplies and/or monetary donations are welcome & 100% tax-deductible. Please make your donation to: World Missions Possible.
"Mobile Maternity Care-A-Van" Program Goals:
We hope this report has touched you to reach out to help save the lives of our sisters and their babies in Sierra Leone.

Agricultural Research Service
Genomics and Bioinformatics Research Unit
1a.Objectives (from AD-416):
The genome sequence of Gossypium (G.) raimondii (D-genome cotton) is scheduled to be released in late 2011 while the G. arboreum (A-genome cotton) genome is slated for release in 2012. These two diploid species are believed to be the progenitors of the tetraploid commercial cotton species G. barbadense and G. hirsutum (both AADD). G. arboreum is a cultivated species in some parts of the world, but it does not have the superior characteristics of the two cultivated tetraploid species. While G. raimondii does not produce lint, many of the traits associated with fiber productivity and quality in the tetraploid commercial species appear to have been largely accounted for by G. raimondii genes. The availability of two reference genomes means it is now possible to start major whole genome comparisons between all Gossypium species. In this regard, we will use genome resequencing to explore the genetic diversity of the genus Gossypium.
1b.Approach (from AD-416):
We will use short-read sequencing technology to produce 20X-50X genome coverage of approximately 26 different cotton species/cultivars. The sequence data will then be mapped back to the reference genomes to identify differences between and within species. Approximately eight diploid species representing the D, C, G, K, A, F, E, and B genomes and five AD tetraploid species will be resequenced. Within cultivated tetraploid cotton, 4 and 19 accessions will be resequenced for G. barbadense and G. hirsutum, respectively. In this way it is believed relevant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) will be uncovered that can be used in genetic mapping and marker assisted selection. Allelic and gene variations will also be examined for future exploration to improve cotton fiber quality and yield.
3.Progress Report:

MORNING BRIEFING: Polish Data Kick Off The Week
- Local/GMT
- 1400/1300 Polish Nov industrial output, producer prices
The new week gets underway with fresh data from Warsaw likely to show the country's economy slowing as a result of the broader European economic cooldown.
Poland's economic expansion is expected to have slowed somewhat from the double-digit rates seen over the past few months, with economists predicting an increase of industrial output of 5.9% on the year in November, compared with 6.5% growth in October.
"A slight slowdown is expected. Given the situation in the European Union, I would say output growth of about 6% is still not a bad result," said Grzegorz Maliszewski, a chief economist at Millennium Bank in Warsaw.
Europe's debt crisis is likely to have started taking its toll on central Europe's largest economy, economists have said, although such expectations have been voiced for months and repeatedly proven wrong as Polish consumer spending has helped underpin the economy's healthy momentum.
Poland's producer price index is forecast to have accelerated to 8.7% on year in November from 8.5% in October.
CZECH REPUBLIC: Vaclav Havel, the Czech playwright and dissident who led his country's Velvet Revolution against communism before becoming its president and, later, a global campaigner for human rights, political freedom and the environment, died on Sunday. He was 75 years old.
POLAND: Poland's Treasury Ministry has canceled its already delayed plan to sell shares in PKO Bank Polski SA (PKO.WA) through a secondary public offering on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in conjunction with state-owned Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, the ministry and PKO BP said in separate statements Friday.
HUNGARY: European Union and International Monetary Fund officials broke off preliminary talks with Hungary over new financial backing because of fears the government is trying to limit central bank independence and lock in fiscal policies before any loan agreement can be negotiated, people familiar with the situation said.
ROMANIA: Romanian state-owned energy producer Nuclearelectrica Thursday extended until Mar. 15, 2012 the deadline by which investors can file binding offers for the construction of two additional reactors at its nuclear power plant in Cernavoda, news agency Mediafax reported.
BULGARIA: Workers at Bulgaria's state railway company BDZ called off their strike on Saturday after 23 days of daily train stoppages threatened to push the heavily indebted company into bankruptcy.

A Des Moines police dog died Wednesday after an officer left it in a car during a vice investigation, officials said.
Harley, a yellow lab, was paired with Officer Brian Mathis on the vice and narcotics unit, police said.
Authorities are investigating the matter internally and few details were available Friday morning.
Officials didn't know how whether the air conditioning was on in the car or the windows rolled down, how long Harley was in the car or the cause of death.
"What we know is that when he came back to the car, his partner of seven years had died," said Des Moines Police Sgt. Chris Scott.
Harley was a familiar face around the department, where he wandered around the narcotics office and visited the rest of the station with Mathis, employees said.
Scott said Mathis didn't generally leave Harley alone in the car, but could only speculate about what came up Wednesday.
Without Harley, Des Moines police have eight K9s. Five are patrol dogs capable of sniffing for drugs, Harley's primary responsibility, but he was the only one specifically assigned to the vice and narcotics unit.
Officials said Harley often worked at the airport or with post offices and has helped generate numerous state and federal charges.
Mathis had no history of handling the dog poorly, officials said. He took Harley home with him each evening.
While K9s have been injured before, this is the first on-duty death for a dog with the department.
For now, the incident is being investigated internally and no criminal charges are pending.
Officials said investigators would look at criminal charges if the internal review reveals they are necessary.
According to the Iowa Code, a person commits animal neglect if he or she "fails to supply the animal during confinement with a sufficient quantity of food or water; fails to provide a confined dog or cat with adequate shelter; or tortures, deprives of necessary sustenance, mutilates, beats or kills an animal by any means which causes unjustified pain, distress or suffering."
A necropsy will likely be performed.

On the Ground in Kenya
Day One - The World doesn't respond
Day Two - UWT UK meet with UWT Somalia
Day Three - In the Dadaab refugee camps
Day Four - Living Conditions In Dadaab Refugee Camp, Kenya
Day Five - UWT Volunteers Preparing Food Distribution Packages
Day Six - Food Distribution for the Suffering Refugees of Somalia
Day Six
UWT Begin Food Distribution Project For The Suffering Refugees of Somalia.
Assalamu Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh,
Alhamdulillah, Ummah Welfare Trust have commenced emergency food distribution. Utilising UWT volunteers and local helpers, the project got off to a very successful start as the first batch of food packages were distributed to 3,000 individuals. A further 5,000 individuals will be benefit tomorrow inshaa-Allah.
Just in these 3 days, around 8,000 people will be provided food for ten days at a cost of only £17,000.
So, £1 will feed one individual three meals a day for five days, subhaanAllah! or
£1 will feed a whole family for one day!
Below: A very sick woman was wheeled in by her son
May Allah (swt) accept the donations of all brothers and sisters and may He accept the efforts of all those involved with Ummah Welfare Trust. Ameen
Please keep your donations coming in. The food distribution projects for drought victims in the Horn of Africa will carry on all the way till Ramadhan and then followed by our Suhoor and Iftar projects. I request you to remember all the brothers and sisters suffering from the drought in your humble du'aas both before the blessed month of Ramadhan and during it.
Please strive to raise donations in your own areas wherever you are, for our Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said:
'The one who strives to fulfil the needs of his brother, Allah (swt) will fulfil his needs' - Saheeh Muslim
Day Five
Assalamu Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh,
UWT Volunteers Preparing Food Distribution Packages
UWT Volunteers worked through the night on thursday to ensure 1,700 packages were ready to distribute at the Dadaab refugee camp from friday morning.
Pictures showing UWT volunteers preparing packages:
UWT food packages contain:
Rice, Pasta, Sugar, Salt, Tea leaves & Milk. Each package contains enough to last a family of around 6 people for 10 days.
Please donate generously towards our food distribution appeal. It only costs £1 a day to feed a whole family.
Day Four
UWT UK Reps At The Dadaab Refugee Camp In Kenya, More Videos...
Assalamu Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh,
Below: Ebrahim Moosa, a member of the UWT projects team speaks to refugees about their gruelling journey from Somalia to one of the world's largest refugee camps in Kenya in search for food for themselves and their young children.
May Allah swt ease their situation.
Below: A video clip where I speak from the registration camp in Dadaab where around a thousand refugees come in daily as 'new arrivals'. They are registered, immunised and allocated camps even though all the large camps holding thousands around Dadaab are full.
Below: Speaking about the living conditions at the camp where 370,000 refugees are currently living.
Doctors Wordwide Representative's Thoughts
I asked a representative of the charity Doctors Worldwide to share his thoughts on the crisis in Dadaab. Here is what he had to say:
'The continuing drought in the Horn of Africa presents an immense challenge to all those working to improve conditions for the worst affected. In Dadaab where as a public health doctor I've been involved in assessing needs for a British medical charity (Doctors Worldwide), the situation is becoming increasingly desperate. As thousands of refugees flood weekly into its environs, the strain on local services is now at breaking point. Organisations like Ummah Welfare Trust have been impressive in their ability to rapidly identify the most needy and provide them with food and nutritional support while maintaining the principle of conducting their operations at minimal cost.
The immediate focus for many involved in the aid effort has rightly been on the most vulnerable of the new arrivals in terms of providing basic essentials such as food, water, clothing, shelter and emergency care. However, the needs of the impoverished host communities should not be forgotten. These poverty-stricken communities share their meagre food supplies and belongings with the new refugees to help sustain them but often have no access to services brought in to aid the refugees. Their generosity of spirit should be applauded and future aid and service provision designed to cater for their needs as well.'

UWT UK Reps Meet With Provincial Commissioner
11 July 2011, 8.00am
Assalamu Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh,
We met the Provincial Commissioner this morning to find out more about the situation in Dadaab and also to inform him of our objectives at the refugee camps. He welcomed us as an NGO from the UK and thanked us for coming to the aid of some of the world's poorest and most needy. He spoke of the poor condition of the people and what the government of Kenya is doing to help.
11 July 2011, 9.30am
We travelled to Dadaab from our base in Garissa, Kenya. It's a 100km drive but there was no proper road which links to Dadaab, just rocks and sand, so it could take anything between 2 hours and 3 hours on a rough road. There we had meetings with local Imams, commissioners and the UN.
UWT UK Reps In The Dadaab Refugee Camps, Kenya
We arrived at the camps, spoke with the District Commissioner and travelled around to assess the situation. The refugee population in Dadaab now is around 400,000, much more than the camps can hold.
The goverment said to us that they have a moral obligation to allow these refugees to come in from Somalia in their thousands, even though the sheer amount of refugees is very difficult to deal with. The refugee camps are way over capacity and they are looking at other ways to accomodate them.
When the refugees initially come in, they arrive at a registration camp where they and their families give their details, take photographs and are immunised against common diseases. They are then allocated into various large camps all around Dadaab. This registration point is where refugees from Somalia first arrive and where they are in their worst state. Most, as found out through our interviews, had been walking for months and were in a terrible state. Many women and children were coming in without adequate clothing while some children were left behind with no hope of survival.

An interview with one of the Imams of the Dadaab area, he speaks in Somali about the conditions here.
We then moved on to see the living conditions of the refugees in the camps.
Pictures showing how the Muslim refugees are living. Upto 10-12 members of a family are sharing one makeshift shelter made from twigs and cardboard. There is a severe shortage of food and very little access to clean water. Providing aid for 400,000 refugees is proving very difficult for the NGO's working on the ground. Some refugees have been living in Dadaab for 20 years!
Ebrahim Moosa, a member of the UWT projects team from UK speaks about the living conditions in the refugee camp.
'They have lost everything except the Deen of Allah!'
Shaykh Yasin, our UWT head of operations summed up the conditions of the Somali refugees by saying to me, 'They have lost everything, except the deen which is still strong walhamdulillah!'

Day Two
UWT UK Reps Meet With UWT Somalia Leader
10 July 2011, 9.00am
Assalamu Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh,
This morning, Shaykh Yasin from our partner organisation in Somalia flew into the Kenyan capital, Nairobi to join us for talks and the visit to Garissa and then on to the Dadaab refugee camp.
|Shaykh Yasin (left) and one of his colleagues (right)
We will inshaa-Allah be leaving Nairobi this morning and travelling to Garissa, a 4-5 hour drive. From there we will plan the next day's visit to Dadaab - a dangerous and difficult place to work for NGOs.
Unfortunately it's not as simple as driving there and meeting people, assessing the situation etc. Our partner organisation here in Kenya, YMA has applied for official clearance from the government, they will be asking local brothers to escort us and request a police presence.

Before we build our next £1-2 million masjid!
10 July 2011, 6.00pm
Next time we build a £1-2 million masjid in the UK, maybe we can use paint instead of marble on our walls, lose a couple of carved doors or two and build an entire masjid in Africa instead! Who needs marble when we can a establish a place of worship for an entire Muslim community instead.
'Whoever builds a house for Allah, Allah will Build a House for him in Paradise' [Bukhari]
|A former masjid we saw along the way to Garissa
Ibrahim (UWT field worker - UK) speaks about the drought in East Africa
Talking to a UWT Kenya volunteer about the situation in Dadaab
Alhamdulillah we reached our base in Garissa. Brother Abdur Rasheed (pictured above) has already been to the Dadaab refugee camps in the last week. He spoke to me about the situation there. Some alarming points he mentioned:
- Women and children are walking on average 500-700km just to get to one of the largest refugee camps in the world. That's like walking from London to Glasgow! SubhaanAllah!
- When young children become ill on the journey and there is no hope of recovery, many mothers are forced to leave them behind. Brother Abdur Rasheed mentioned that many of these young children are then eaten by wild animals!
Visiting a local madrasah
Have a look at the children at this madrasah. Not having mushafs of the Qur'an doesn't stop them from learning, inspirational! May Allah swt reward them for the eagerness and grant them the knowledge of the Qur'an.
The best of you is he who learns the Qur'an and teaches it.' [ al-Bukhari]
UWT UK reps meet with local leaders and organisations
10 July 2011, 9.30pm
We have just had a meeting with local leaders, members from various organisations and experienced aid workers. We informed them of UWT's main objectives this week.
We didn't realise how difficult it would be to work in this region. SubhaanAllah, there are tens of issues to address before we can start any work. Alhamdulillah, UWT are ready, always prepared for hard work and here in the region for the long term, ready to serve humanity.
We have to understand, these people are totally destitute and desperate; many are without any food, clean water or medicine giving rise to crime around the refugee camps. Simply establishing a camp in the region and distributing aid can have many implications especially given the insecurity. UWT are carrying out full assessments, working through the goverment and the UN and most importantly utilising local knowledge through our brothers and volunteers on the ground. Nevertheless, tomorrow and the rest of the week will be quite dangerous. Make du'a insh-Allah.
UWT really have thought about everything and this is why the donors of the UK alhamdulillah, continue to place their trust in the charity. Ummah Welfare Trust - fulfilling an obligation on behalf of the Ummah, walhamdulillah.
Day One
'The World Doesn't Respond!'
by Muhammad Taaha Laher
UK PR Representative, reporting from Nairobi, Kenya
Assalamu Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh,
'The world doesn't respond' was how one aid worker in the Dadaab refugee camp put it. 'What is the point of warning the rest of the world when they do not respond!', a huge difference from the response of the likes of Uthman (Radi-Allahu 'anh), when once during a severe famine, he reponded to the cries of the ummah by donating his entire caravan of 100 camels, laden with goods amongst the suffering people, only hoping for the pleasure of Allah swt in return.
We touched down in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi yesterday and immediately were made aware of the alarming situation.
One of our Kenyan representatives, Abdul Qadir, spoke of the increasingly worse situation with a major shortage of food, water and clothes leading to illnesses and deaths.
|A Somali refugee carries his son as he hurries to join a new line outside a registration and food distribution point [Roberto Schmidt/AFP]
Thousands of refugees are arriving on a daily basis, many walking for weeks barefooted in the scorching heat. They are malnourished and dehydrated when they arrive and many die along the way or within days of reaching the camp. As far as they are concerned, undertaking this journey is their only hope of survival due to the severe drought, lack of jobs and instability in Somalia.
Some of our mothers are forced to make such sacrifices, letting their weaker children die while trying to save their stronger ones.
One can not even begin to imagine the pain and grief faced by them.
|Abshira Abdukadir, a four-year-old Somali girl suffering from severe diarrhea and having trouble breathing, is looked after by a doctor hours after they finally reached Dadaab [Roberto Schmidt/AFP]
One of our sisters and mother Halima Omar, 30, buried four of her children who died of hunger. She said: 'I lost four of my six children to hunger. We felt helpless. There is nothing in the world worse than watching your own child die in front of your eyes because you cannot feed him.
We are scheduled to have a meeting today with our Kenya field workers and Somalia field leader to plan how best to work in a very difficult region for relief organisations.
We will later on today get official clearance for Ummah Welfare Trust through the Kenyan government to enter the Dadaab refugee camps which are situated around 6-7 hours drive from the capital, Nairobi close to the Somali border. We will be meeting UN and other aid organisation reps to ensure aid is delivered to those who need it most.
As soon as we reach Dabaab, we will inshaa-Allah be able to gather images and footage of the situation and provide feedback to donors in the UK.

They surely didn't want to spend the entire month of March in semi-survival mode, and yet here the Sharks are.
Banged up and breathing hard.
Slip-sliding in the Western Conference standings and waving bye-bye to any shot at grabbing a top-two postseason seed.
And now losers for the 10th time in their past 15 games, after a dismal 3-1 defeat to St. Louis on Saturday in front of a grumbling, morose HP Pavilion crowd.
Of course, the Sharks -- after consecutive trips to the Western Conference finals -- didn't want to have to grind their way into the playoffs.
But that's what they have gotten themselves into.
Now they just have to accept the drama and make the best of it, if possible.
Maybe this is a good preliminary test, and if they're as good as they think they are, it will sharpen them for a long journey to come.
"The stretch run is going to be tough, which is OK. That takes us in the playoff mentality," general manager Doug Wilson said before Saturday's game. "But you'd better make sure you've got depth, you've got competition, you've got some guys that can go in there that can be fresh."
Wilson's point: The two trades he made at the deadline last week solidified the Sharks' third and fourth lines.
Add that to Logan Couture and Douglas Murray returning from injury Saturday, and Wilson believes the Sharks have the bodies to navigate the intense weeks ahead.
"I think we've got more depth than we've ever had," Wilson said.
But there is uncertainty. There are questions. This will take a massive effort, from now until the end.
During Saturday night's fizzle -- the Blues reduced the Sharks' offense to weak, blockable flares from deep -- HP Pavilion was as quiet as I've ever heard it.
And this is exactly what the Sharks wanted to avoid after last season, when they believed the strain to move up in the standings and finish off Detroit in the second round after going up 3-0, took a toll when the Sharks faced Vancouver in the conference finals.
The Sharks were as docile as I've ever seen them. It will take a jump-start for them just to make the playoffs now.
The current setup? Not quite comforting.
Their coach, Todd McLellan, missed his third consecutive game Saturday with concussion-like symptoms, and Wilson stressed that the team will not rush him back to the bench.
"You almost have to protect somebody from themselves," Wilson said with a smile of McLellan. "He's not a very good patient. As a matter of fact, he's an awful patient. But that's the beauty of him; he's such a competitor. But we'll get him there."
Meanwhile, the Sharks started and ended play Saturday as are the seventh seed in the West, now on pace for a 93-point season after ringing up 105 last season.
This is an antsy feeling for a team that has finished either first or second in the each of the past four seasons.
But Wilson said the goal is to hit the playoffs in stride, if not necessarily with home-ice advantage in the late rounds.
And Wilson predictably gave 100 percent backing for up-and-down goalie Antti Niemi, for his headline stars and for the entire roster.
"If we're playing well and we're healthy," Wilson said, "we'll play anybody."
Are they as talented as Vancouver, which swept the Sharks last year and is back in first place?
"Probably, yeah," Wilson said. "I don't think the talent differential is that much between any of the top teams.
"Do we have enough talent? Yeah, we do."
And Wilson bristled a bit when I asked him about the older players -- Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau -- who have seen their point totals drop again this season.
Are the declining point totals showing that the Sharks are less talented at the top than they used to be?
"Pavel Datsyuk doesn't lead this league in scoring," Wilson said of the Detroit Red Wings star, dismissing point totals as a barometer of individual performance. "When Steve Yzerman went from 140 points to 90 points is when they started winning.
"Joe's not old. Patty's not old. I mean, on Detroit, they'd be kids. It's all relative. It's a state of mind.
"Joe now is at the age when Steve Yzerman won his first Stanley Cup. And it's possible he's in better shape and training better -- look at how he played in the playoffs before he hurt his shoulder. I'm not sure I see a decline as much as I see an evolution."
You could say the same thing about this season's Sharks, maybe in almost exactly those words.
It's not a decline, it's a struggle. Maybe the Sharks aren't less talented, they're just in need of time to coalesce.
The only sure thing: It will be a grind, one way or the other.

I wore this outfit to the ballet. I got to use my new disco-ball leather clutch that my brother gave me as a mother's day gift! The top is from Zulilly.
Anther Zulilly item - this dress. Worn with (non-maternity) Commando cropped lace-trip leggings. The no-waistband style of the Commando leggings works well for me in pregnancy! The jacket I've had forever and is Current/Elliot.

U.S. Troops Fire on Iraqi Protesters, Leaving 15 Dead
By IAN FISHER
Published: April 29, 2003
FALLUJAH, Iraq, April 29 — American soldiers shot dead what hospital officials said were 15 people at an anti-American rally here late on Monday. Accounts of the incident, which occurred on Saddam Hussein's birthday, varied widely today: Iraqis said the soldiers opened fire, unprovoked, while the soldiers said they were fired on first and then responded with a careful counter-attack.
Residents said at least 65 other people were injured in the incident at a school.
No matter what triggered the incident, sentiment against the United States military presence jumped up several notches, even as American officials sought both to more firmly fill the void of power three weeks after they took control here and to build greater trust among ordinary Iraqis.
As United States military units left the school here this evening, boys shook their shoes at the soldiers, an insult in Iraq, pelted them with stones and yelled in English: "Down USA!"
"We won't remain quiet over this," said Ahmad Hussein, in a hospital room with his 18-year-old son, Riyadh, who was shot gravely in the stomach and who, his doctor said, would likely die. "Either they leave Fallujah or we will make them leave."
Meantime today, military officials said that two more people on the most-wanted list of senior Iraqi officials reportedly surrendered. They said that Amer Mohammad Rasheed, a long-time oil minister who advised Mr. Hussein on weapons programs, turned himself in on Monday to American forces.
Mr. Rasheed is married to Rihab Taba, a scientist who is known as "Dr. Germ" because of her purported role in developing Iraq's biological weapons program in the 1980's. She is the last person on the list of 55 most-wanted Iraqi officials. Mr. Rasheed, a well-spoken, British-educated technocrat, was No. 47 on the list.
Ms. Taba remains at large.
With Mr. Rasheed's capture, three of Mr. Hussein's top weapons experts are now in custody, and American officials clearly hope they can provide information on whether Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. So far, American forces have found no evidence of such weapons.
The other two weapons experts captured are Gen. Amir al-Saadi, the former Iraqi president's chief weapons advisor, and Gen. Hussam Amin, Iraq's chief liaison to the United Nations weapons inspectors.
Also today, an opposition group, the Iraqi Free Forces, reported that Walid Hamid al-Tikriti, the former governor of the southern city of Basra, surrendered to them in Baghdad. The group said that Mr. Hamid, No. 44 on the most-wanted list, would be handed over to the American military.
The incident here on Monday night was the second in which American troops were accused of firing into crowds of demonstrators — incidents that may underscore the difficulties as United States troops move from active combat to peacekeeping duties in a nation that largely opposes their presence here.
In a still-murky incident two weeks ago in the northern city of Mosul, residents said American soldiers killed 10 demonstrators, though, as in Monday's incident, the soldiers said they were fired on first.
Today in Fallajah, there were few details that both the Americans and local residents could agree on, apart from the fact that it began with a demonstration of perhaps 200 people, some of them shouting slogans in support of Mr. Hussein on his 66th birthday. It was a night, American soldiers said, of far more gunfire and rock-throwing at soldiers than has been usual, in this city of mostly Sunni Muslims, many still loyal to Mr. Hussein. Fallajah is about 30 miles west of Baghdad.
The demonstrators gathered after evening prayers, sometime after 9 p.m., first stopping at the headquarters for one unit of American soldiers in the Nazzal neighborhood in central Fallujah. A commanding officer there, Capt. Mike Riedmuller, said some in the crowd fired automatic rifles in the air, but that American soldiers did not fire at the demonstrators because they did not feel they were being shot at directly.
He said the crowd then moved several blocks away to the yellow, two-story Al Qaed school, where American troops had set up a base for the previous three nights.
Here the two versions of what happened diverge sharply.
Lt. Wes Davidson, a company commander with the unit stationed at the school, said that about 20 to 30 people among the demonstrators had rifles and were shooting mostly in the air, and the soldiers responded with smoke bombs. Then, he said, several more people with rifles appeared from three houses across from the school and they began shooting directly at the soldiers, as did others from nearby rooftops.
Both Lieutenant Davidson and Captain Riedmuller said that the American soldiers returned precise fire.
"Our soldiers returned deliberately-aimed fire at people with weapons, and only at people with weapons," Captain Riedmuller said.
Today, the second story of the school was pocked with bullet holes, most of them apparently from low caliber guns, and there were half a dozen more holes in the school's concrete wall. There were also many bullet holes in the houses and walls of the neighboring houses across the street along with bloodstains on the sidewalks — which residents here said was testament to what they claimed was indiscriminate fire.

This is the text that came out of our second performance, held at the apartment of Brendan Howell and Sabrina Small on February. 8th, 2009 in Berlin, Germany. The participants were:

The chiff of Bogus security was going to inspect a human organs factory in Suffolk. Years back there were a pig farms there and his grangrandad was a pig farmer once...Not any more. Time has erased the past so much there were no pigs anymore. The road was trecherous and plagued by dangers. Run away genetically modified criaches bred and mutated.
The pigs were not just regular pigs, they had the ability to impart onto those who ate them the gift of clairvoyance. This was discovered only after several years of eating the genetically modified swine. The village of suffolk started to experience a weird shift in their mental abilities. A mother was looking for her son John and she scoured the village with her preoccupied air. other villagers were aware of her search and they began to help her. "He"s in the barn behind Malloy"s farm." one said. "He"s not hurt really, just confused and lost." another said. Eventually everyone in the village had this ability and soon enough they relized it was the pigs who were creating this ability. Now the village wanted to sit on this discovery. they enjoyed the understanding between them. One of the villagers, who was a big hippie in the 60's said that it reminded him of an acid trip he had at a pink floyd show where everyone around him seemed connected and concerned about each other. it was beautiful and the government would want to take it away from them if they found out.
The village healer, Jeremy, was the main organizer of the underground pig movement. He would go door to door and conduct meetings in peoples kitchens where he discussed the blessed events of pig clairvoyance and the urgent need for secrecy. he wanted to secretly patent the genetic code of these pigs and he wanted to enlist them in a new animal hagiography he was developing. Animals with power and kindness, Lassie was a big star in his animal cathedral. He was up against the research center on the edge of town. In this research center, there was a woman named Minta and she was sure something was going on in suffolk and made various trips to the village to observe people and find out what was underfoot. Jeremy warned people about her existence and told them not to behave in the new way, the pig way, but to try to act like they did before the pigs came. He also organized ritual feastings where the village would gorge on pork until they had visions. The concentration of pig lipids at these feasts was so high that people were able to see the future and converse with the dead. he was especially fond of using these feasts to congratulate new couples on their eventual offspring.
This is where air and space come in. These things work their way through tubes, which can either be underground, from the nostril to the lung and through to the anus, or they can be cosmic, where light reflected from mirror shards on a hatbrim work their way through the atmosphere, and make the three poles of a teepee. The poles are hollow, so while they are a perfect support for cowhide or other planes of matter, things can also work their way through them. Rust builds up on the inside, however, which is a hindrance to free movement. So those with names that match those on their passport generally make it through, but the nameless have only hats, and light, which was never quite specified in the constitution. Additions to the document were lost in the fire of '63, which took the barn down with it. But some species are born with a natural hologram, which can sometimes be sufficient to convince the authorities.
Obviously Stonehenge is important here. That formation was and is the basis of the pneumatic teepee system. There is a certain molecular construction that occurs once in a great while and which makes possible the sort of energy and flow needed for teleportation, clairvoyance and more abstract processes. Stonehenge is one of the only physical monuments to this energy. The truth about stonehenge is that when people touch it, even the lowliest tourists, the rock enables them to have instant epiphanies. this accounts for the glazed over expressions of tourists in the photos taken of them at stonehenge. they are staring emptily, but inside they have just discovered that the color red is connected to the vibration that made their desires possible, or that Ansel Adams is an asshole in so many ways, it's actually infinite and impossible to count.
Johnny No Credit had a numb head after yesterday's night orgy and he looked at the vessels with fetuses with disapproval and major disgast, as if he was one of them. I need to run but there nowhere to run,bollocks to it.
It always come back to form, and this is a bore, because it's always shapes without letters, traveling through holes, trotting over crevices, making its way through. Somehow though, once you establish a doer of the holes, it starts to drip, it starts to dribble, and there are all these banal syllables that try to obliquely refer to hard and soft, entries and exits, up and down, back and forth. But here is where we introduce the absolute, the up-against, and that's where it reaaaly starts to feel good, the question is is whether it's from the vantage point of top or bottom, pokes or poking, and in the end that's just a question of territory, which has no map, no dialect, only space and the tiny torches that show you the way.
the research lab is gray and has a laminated quality to it. the people that work there have a laminated quality to their faces. their faces are set and disciplined. each lab has a leader. each leader has a group leader and each group leader answers to minta. minta looks like an ostrich. she is tall and hunched with thick powerful haunches. she oversees the research and organizes the lab results to test the status of genetic modification of animals and their effect on the communities that eat them. so far she has 6 thick manilla folders on Suffolk. She herself would never eat gen-modified meat. she is 100% organic and enjoys administering organic chicken feces facials to herself every other week. she sees a clear distinction between the haves and the have nots and she identifies having with the flavor of california-organic shtiake mushroom pizza, enjoyed with a glass of spanish rioja. Suffolk people eat shepherd's pie and fart in public. these worlds are not compatible, but something is up there and she is going after jermey to find out.
in jeremy's dreams he floats above the people of suffolk and periodically lowers down ropes to them. these ropes are gold and fleshy. the people that grab onto them are raised and once they reach jeremy they burst into pure light and jeremy feels their consciousness enter into him and make him stronger and yet gentler at the same time. why despite the advanced mindset of this village does jeremy see himself as a messiah figure. this belief in one, a natural inclination toward monotheism, cannot be accounted for by jeremy. he only recognizes his benevolence and power over the villagers and because of his special position, he finds it difficult to confront the deeper philosophical and ideolgoical implications. what he can't escape, is the other image that greets him so often in the rope dream. this image is of a fox in a compost pile. the fox is crafty and he collects the best bits from the compost pile under an oak tree. when jeremy looks back at the fox he sees that the fox has collected human skulls and is delicately licking the remaining blood and flesh from them.
The ranger finally found the spot. There had been rumblings around, Sheila had said so, late last night even, she was fumbling with the lampswitch and knew that somewhere on the way from the plug to the fire, there was some was some sort of pattern, something that would be revealed, like a trapdoor to the sky, but she didn't say anything, because she had gotten in the habit of testing these things, even if the movies had convinced her that this was a dangerous thing to do. And what's the spot? It was the vortex, a moment like discovering an eyebrow that is actually a G-spot, a moaning, sweating, hairy moment, that for some is inside a cave, but is for the wider public a matter of overpasses and lips that are half ajar, a slight opening, a clue. A stamped, franked and crinkled message to whomever stopped listening a long, long time ago.

a way for me to change when it switches over?

What does this mean? It means that we're targeting EB for an AFOL age group, not a TFOL one. We try to be flexible on this, but some recent topics make it clear that there is some confusion.
For this reason let me remind people that posting things like that you're 13, saying you need more pocket money or that you have to do your school homework is stupid. We probably won't ban you for it, but it makes it clear that you lied while joining, and that's a bad way to start. Once we've noted this we then know that you're a likely immature member and you will be watched more.
So please, if you're underaged on EB be subtle about it and try to post in a mature fashion. If not we'll ban you according to the guidelines that you agreed to when you joined.
Sorry for the negative nancy post, but posts like this...

The kids lined up today for a special helmet.
Over 35 children went to pick out free bike helmets today.
Cash Pal partnered with Marietta City Health Department to help keep kids safe this summer by offering free bicycle helmets.
Cash Pal offered drinks and refreshments outside for anyone that stopped by as well.
Registered nurse from the Marietta City Health department Jonni Tucker says this is just another way to prevent accidents.
"Even just fitting one helmet would be success for me, because you are keeping that child safer, so the more that we do, the better it is for me so I'm really excited I think it is a good turnout so far," said Tucker.
Each child was individually fitted for a helmet and got to pick out their favorite color. Both Cash Pal and the Marietta City Health Department were happy with the turn out.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the signing of memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with Hong Kong and Australia to improve product safety.
The vision for improvements in the safety of consumer products extends from Asia to Australia to America. The MOUs with Australia and Hong Kong put formal structures into place for information sharing about recalled products, consumer product regulations, product testing requirements and product safety campaigns. The MOUs also allow regulators to work more easily toward compatible product safety standards.
CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum signed both MOUs with product safety regulators during visits to Hong Kong and Sydney to discuss the need for global improvements in consumer product safety. Chairman Tenenbaum and Richard Yuen, Hong Kong's Customs and Excise Commissioner signed the MOU between the U.S. and Hong Kong (pdf). Chairman Tenenbaum and Graeme Samuel, Chairman of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, signed the MOU between the U.S. and Australia (pdf).
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the
nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or
mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the
