Pan-African Parliament Stresses Governance, Accountability in Post-2015 Agenda
16 January 2013: The Pan-African Parliament (PAP) hosted an event to highlight the role of governance in the post-2015 development agenda, in advance of the Global Thematic Consultation on Governance in the post-2015 development agenda. The high-level meeting of the Global Consultation on Governance will take place at the PAP offices in Midrand, South Africa, from 27-28 February 2013.
Speakers at the event discussed: progress on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs); governance as a bottleneck to achieving the MDGs; the international development agenda; and how to align the post-2015 agenda with aspirations and needs of global citizens.
Several speakers stressed accountability and governance as issues that had hindered MDG achievement. Ebrahim Abrahim, Deputy Minister, Department of International Relations and Cooperation, South Africa, said "there is need to deal with bureaucratic bottlenecks" in governance structures and systems to achieve sustainable development. Bethel Amadi, PAP President, said transparency and good governance are needed to address inequality, hunger, job creation and poverty. Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi, UN Development Programme (UNDP) Director for Democratic Government Practice, emphasized "a need to look at governance…from global to sub-national" angles and levels within the post-2015 framework.
Also as part of the consultations on governance, e-discussions took place on the World We Want 2015 platform, from November to December 2012. Regional dialogues have taken place in: Dhaka, Bangladesh; Cairo, Egypt; Manila, Philippines; Brasilia, Brazil; and Johannesburg, South Africa. Participants in these consultations have called for aligning the post-2015 agenda "with international human rights standards and principles, including civil and political rights," according to Yanine Poc, Regional Representative for Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
Findings and recommendations from the e-discussions and regional dialogues will feed into the high-level meeting of the Global Consultation in February, which will discuss how to include global, regional, national and subnational governance and accountability in the post-2015 agenda.
UNDP and OHCHR serve as the co-leaders of the Global Consultation, with support from the Governments of Germany and South Africa. Governance is one of 11 themes being addressed on a global level by the UN Development Group's (UNDG) consultations on the post-2015 development agenda.

Rated 1 out of 5 by doxielover Tick on my dog I applied this mid-month and found a tick on my dog two weeks later. She only goes out to use the bathroom in the grass on the side of the house. Last year she went blind in one eye from a tick borne illness she contracted due to my negligence in only treating her for fleas & heartworm. I'm not willing to risk her losing the sight in her other eye. You get what you pay for. May 1, 2016

The Materiality of Languageby David Bleich
David Bleich sees the human body, its affective life, social life, and political functions as belonging to the study of language. In The Materiality of Language, Bleich addresses the need to end centuries of limiting access to language and its many contexts of use. To recognize language as material and treat it as such, argues Bleich, is to remove restrictions to language access due to historic patterns of academic censorship and unfair gender practices. Language is understood as a key path in the formation of all social and political relations, and becomes available for study by all speakers, who may regulate it, change it, and make it flexible like other material things.

CD's Love-Hate Station: Matt Hughes
Ok, so last week i had Sean Sherk and this were the results.
Love him 24 42.11%
Hate him 8 14.04%
Dont Really Care 25 43.86%
Obviously the terms Love and Hate are to be used loosely on this thread, so this week is all about Matt Hughes, his legendary WW Title run, his time as a coach in TUF, Rascism acussations and everything Matt Hughes.
So what's is it going to be for the greatest welterweight of all time? Love...or Hate?
Poll is up 6 days, and i have one on Jorge Gurgel in the Strikeforce section too.
Share the love (and hate) guys!
Personally, i don't care about Hughes, i wasn't around when he was doing great and i haven't been impressed with his performance as of late, wasn't around when he was in TUF too, though he seems like an ass..oh well.
love him. greatest champion in UFC history. he seems to find it funny to talk down to other fighters like gsp and alves...but whatever...looks like he's on his way out of mma...he really needs the Serra fight tho....in which he'll whomp Serra...
Great fighter in the octagon, should stfu while out of the octagon.
I don't know if I have any legitimate reasons but when he beat Gracie is when I first started to dislike him. What really did it in for me was when he handed out bibles on TUF. I know there is only one religion in the U.S. :confused02: but it just seemed like a very ignorant thing to do. Can't wait to see him leave the UFC, although if Serra is his last match, he probably will win.
Love him.
He's the greatest WW ever, and the greatest champion the UFC has ever seen. Top 5 fighter, had epic fights and was the working man's champion. He never ducked anybody, he took on all comers, and he beat most of them. Listing Hughes' great wins becomes tiresome, since he has beaten so many great fighters.
I'm indifferent personally. He's kind of annoying but there's a certain level of respect for his capabilities since he's the second or third best WW ever.
Yeah my early impression with his awesome wrestlemania overides my later learning that he's an angry short guy conservative type
I hate him.
Yes he had the greatest run as WW champion. But that doesnt make him the greatest WW of all time. GSP right now would beat the Matt Hughes of 2005 10/10 times. Therefore he isnt the greatest WW of all time. The answer to that question is GSP.
Great fighter in his day, however comes across as a "bully" who likes to ridicule others in a typical Jock/nerd manner
I went with love him cos even though I'm not the biggest Hughes fan he was the most dominant WW of all time and gave us the greatness that is Hughes - Trigg 2. I've never heard a UFC crowd that pumped up before and Hughes showed a champions spirit to comeback like that. Epic fight and one that I can watch over and over.

This talk marks the ninty-eighth anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. Using documents from The National Archives, James Cronan takes you through the history of the ship, from its construction and launch to its fateful end.

For the attention of James Cronan (if possible)
Delighted to find this wonderful Podcast! My Family History Research had already thrown up the fact that James Cronan's great grandfather, Frederick Woodford who died on the Titanic was my husband's 1st cousin twice removed, making him James Cronan's 3rd Cousin. My husband's great Grandfather was Eli Woodford, one of Frederick's brothers.
I would appreciate if this e-mail could possibly be passed on to James, to express our admiration of his Podcast. It brought the sinking very much to life, especially in the knowledge that one of our ancestors was involved.

Heros–cowards–poor folks–millionaires–crew members–people like us. So unnecessary and so stupid. White Star Line's Folly. Being a student of history, I am intensely interested in all these things. Keep up the great work and never let the story die.

Oscar nominee worked with James L. Brooks
Polly Platt, executive producer of films including "Broadcast News," "Say Anything…" and "The War of the Roses," producer of "Bottle Rocket" and an acclaimed production designer Oscar nominated for her work on 1983's "Terms of Endearment," died Wednesday in Brooklyn. She was 72 and had ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease).
Platt was married to Peter Bogdanovich from 1966-'70 and worked with him on several films but was later associated creatively with writer-director James L. Brooks. She was the production designer on Bogdanovich's first feature, "Targets" (also credited with the story), as well as on "The Last Picture Show," "What's Up, Doc?" and "Paper Moon" — their professional relationship lasted longer than their marriage. She was also an uncredited costume designer on the Bogdanovich films as well as on Robert Altman's "Thieves Like Us."
(The 1984 comedy "Irreconcilable Differences," with Ryan O'Neal, Shelley Long and Drew Barrymore, was based loosely on the Bogdanoviches' relationship.)
"As Wes Anderson just wrote me, Polly was 'one of a kind,'?" Bogdanovich said in a statement Wednesday. "In the filmmaking process, in every department, she was golden.
"Polly had the quickest and most discerning eye as to what would work and what wouldn't. For anyone lucky enough to collaborate with her, it was a privilege. Our two daughters and three grandsons and I will miss her every day."
Platt worked for other directors as well as the production designer on films of the 1970s and '80 such as "Bad News Bears," "A Star Is Born," "The Man With Two Brains" and "The Witches of Eastwick."
Platt began producing with 1978's "Pretty Baby," which she also scripted. She received an associate producer credit.
Platt began her association with Brooks on 1983's "Terms of Endearment," followed by 1987's "Broadcast News," followed by "The War of the Roses" (she was exec producer, he producer), "Say Anything…" (she was producer and appeared in the film; he was exec producer), the Brooks-directed "I'll Do Anything" (both produced) and "Bottle Rocket" (she was producer, he exec producer).
Platt was VP and then exec VP at Brooks' Gracie Films.
"Polly almost never talked about her own extreme gifts," Brooks said, "but she could go hours on anyone whose work she respected. And the only time I heard her say anything with extreme pride of self was 'John Ford gave me his hat.' And he had..this great fedora..filled with the sweat stains of epic shoots. John Ford had figured out the extreme and perfect way to say what so many of us feel right now. Hats off to Polly Platt."
She produced "Terms of Endearment" sequel "The Evening Star" in 1996.
In 2000, Platt was exec producer of the Oxygen network comedy series "The Girl in the Picture."
Platt earned few credits in the 2000s but was exec producer of 2007's "West Texas Lullaby." Her most recent work was the 2011 doc "Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel," which she exec produced and in which both she and Bogdanovich appear.
Platt appeared as an interviewee in a number of docs on Hollywood, including "Picture This: The Times of Peter Bogdanovich in Archer City, Texas" (1991), "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls: How the Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll Generation Saved Hollywood" (2003), "A Decade Under the Influence" (2003) and "Women on Top: Hollywood and Power" (2003).
She was born in Fort Sheridan, Ill., and attended Carnegie-Mellon U. in Pittsburgh.
Platt received the Women in Film Crystal Award in 1994.
She was married three times; her third husband died in 1985. Platt is survived by two daughters, actress Antonia Bogdanovich and Alexandra Welles (Sashy) Bogdanovich, who has various film credits; two stepchildren; her brother; and grandchildren and step-grandchildren.
A private memorial will be held in Los Angeles at a later date.

Two nights before the season finale, Galavis was in Las Vegas to take in the Jorge Linares vs. Nihito Arakawa boxing match at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Flanked by two friends, Galavis, 32, drove to Las Vegas – documenting his road trip on Twitter – and immediately headed to the MGM's wedding chapel to jokingly take a picture in front of it.
Road Trip with @marquezparis... #Ñoelamaaaaa pic.twitter.com/ddHOmlbHMX— Juan Pablo Galavis™ (@JuanPaGalavis) March 8, 2014
Wearing a hat and waving the Venezuelan flag, Galavis stood in the ring with his fellow countryman, Linares, as the boxer was introduced. While he was dressed down, the crowd either did not notice it was him, or they didn't care, as there was little fanfare. He also returned to the ring as Linares was announced as the winner, and later took photos in the dressing room with the victor.
Listo para la GRAN pelea de mi HERMANO @JorgeLinares, con Venezuela en NUESTRAS mentes... pic.twitter.com/KpZ3BRnWnr— Juan Pablo Galavis™ (@JuanPaGalavis) March 9, 2014
Only there for the one fight, Galavis left the arena via the dressing rooms before the main event of the evening began. The Bachelor and a group of 10 then headed to Joe's Stone Crab for a meal. "It was him and a bunch of guys who were a part of the Venezuelan fighter's team and a couple older ladies with big hair," a source said of the two-hour meal.
At some point, however, he parted ways with the group and headed to the nightclub, albeit very briefly.
Around 12:30 a.m., Galavis walked into Beacher's Madhouse. He didn't drink but he posed for photos with girls and guys. Joined by his two friends, the trio exited after about 30 minutes and walked aimlessly around the casino for about 45 minutes with Galavis obliging any and all photo requests.
CONGRATS to my BRO @JorgeLinares for that WIN tonight... pic.twitter.com/LovIklVxXl— Juan Pablo Galavis™ (@JuanPaGalavis) March 9, 2014

SAGINAW — A fundraiser for the Saginaw Children's Zoo at Celebration Square attracted its biggest following in its inception, according to event organizers.
The Salvation Army sponsored the Labor Day Classic Car Show Monday morning, where more than 80 cars came to be judged. The show is an annual event since the event started in 2007, event organizers said, and the previous record was 75.
David Luft, major for the Salvation Army, said the show gives people a chance to look at classic cars.
"It's a fundraiser for the zoo, and the proceeds go to the children's zoo," Luft said. Each participant to the show paid $12, and the zoo receives those proceeds, aside from cost for expenses, he said.
The event started as a fundraiser for the Veterans Hospital, but the Salvation Army decided to add another car show to benefit the zoo.
A major attraction of these shows is nostalgia, Wayne Ruston, a Salvation Army major in Flint said.
"People bring their cars to show others, because their dad or grandfather had one or it reminds them of their first car," Ruston said.
Ruston said the show last year raised enough money to feed the zoo's "hooved" animals for a month.
Ruston's wife, Tracy Ruston is also a Salvation Army major in Flint and helped organize the event. She said the car show is special because it brings people together.
"I like the fellowship of it," Tracy Ruston said. "People that get together and talk about cars."
Colleen Harris, of Bay City, brought her 1989 Corvette to showcase at the show.
She said the car show was fun because of the charity and seeing fellow classic car owners.
"It's for charity, it's a great get together," she said. "We'll have a party after."
She said the appeal of the classic car is that it's fun to ride and always gets attention.
"We've had it 20 years, and everyone looks at it," she said. "When we first took the car out, it gave me a boost of self confidence, then I was reminded that they're not looking at me, they're looking at the car!"
Saginaw resident Tom Coscarelli said he's an old car fanatic, with three vehicles. He was not showing a car at Monday's show. He said he's attended each show since the event began a few years ago.
He said the attraction of classic cars is that they're "artwork."
Coscarelli said the design of a classic car represents a generation.
This event is different than most car shows, Coscarelli said, including an event in Frankenmuth next weekend.
"This one is smaller, more diverse," he said. This show is more for the city of Saginaw than anyone else, he said.
He said he meets up with more people he grew up with at the Saginaw show than at any other show.
Rick Ballor, senior manager at the Saginaw Children's Zoo said that the car show not only serves as a fundraiser to feed its 155 animals, but also a way to drive zoo traffic.
"It helps to bring people to the zoo that might not know we're even here," Ballor said. "Any time we can draw new people (is great). We're always looking to expand our visitor base."
He said the fundraiser and any other donations always helps the zoo's costs; currently it costs the zoo $30,000 a year to feed the animals.

NAACP Advocates with Poultry Workers Against Harmful USDA Rule
Posted on February 26, 2014
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is finalizing a rule that would allow poultry plants to increase processing line speeds from 140 birds per minute to 175, a 25% increase.
This rule also decreases the presence of highly-trained federal food inspectors. Thus, the proposed rule poses an increased threat to both poultry workers, who already suffer a disproportionate number of work-related injuries, and consumers. It is set to go into effect in April.
Here are the facts:
77 percent of poultry workers in line jobs reported cumulative trauma disorders in their hands and wrists, according to a 2013 survey by Southern Poverty Law Center and Alabama Appleseed.
42 percent of workers in a South Carolina plant had symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Two-thirds of those workers reported "awakening from sleep because of these symptoms."
We believe that the U.S. Department of Agriculture should not put consumers and food workers in harm's way.
The NAACP stands with poultry workers to demand that this rule is stopped. We should promote measures that will improve safety and health in poultry and meatpacking workplaces.

This is one of the most accessible of all operas, situated in 19th century Paris, with powerfully drawn characters and unforgettable music. The sumptuous surroundings and elegant costumes set the atmosphere for the worldly life of the fallen woman living in luxury yet empty within.

In 1868, in honor of the opening of the Suez Canal and the new Cairo opera house, Giuseppe Verdi was commissioned to write a new opera with an Egyptian setting. At first reticent, Verdi finally accepted the offer after becoming better acquainted with the story of the enslaved Ethiopian princess Aida. Aida's author was the eminent French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette who had deciphered the legend from ancient papyrus. The story is based on the lengthly struggle between Egypt and Ethiopia (Nubia). Sets and costumes for the original production were based on Mariette's own sketches. The story was translated into French by librettist Camille du Locle (1832-1903). The Italian libretto is by Antonio Ghislanzoni (1824-1893). The Cairo premiere was held on December 24, 1871, but its first Italian performance took place the following year, February 8, in Milan, with Verdi himself conducting. Both premieres were triumphant successes.

In 1994, Alfredo Kraus retired from opera stage after his last Il Duca di Mantua with Sumi Jo's Gilda at the Metropolitan opera theater.

The beautiful music of Verdi's opera "Aida" is set to scenes of the Nile River, Luxor, Abu Simbel, and other archaeological sites in Egypt.

NB: The flute intro for the Nile Scene is from the album "Giuseppe Verdi: Life and Works", narrated by Jeremy Siepmann; while the chorus section is from the album "Verdi: Great Operas From La Scala". There were no liner notes so not sure who conducted these pieces. I split the Nile Scene music because the flute was more audible on the Siepmann cd and the chorus sounded fuller on the La Scala cd.

The southern California church led by well-known Pastor Rick Warren recently saw the largest number of new members and baptisms in its 30-year history.
In a three-and-a-half hour service March 28, Warren baptized 800 people and welcomed nearly 2,400 new members after its "C.L.A.S.S. 101" session. The class, which stands for "Christian Life and Service Seminars," helps participants understand God's plan and their purpose in the church.
Warren personally led the class for the first time in 10 years. More than 35,000 have attended since the church started.
"It's good to see God at work in so many people's lives," said Steven Tang, a leader of one of Warren's small groups in Anaheim, Calif.
Tang was among those baptized Sunday, along with his six group members.
"This is what the small group community is about and what Pastor Rick is always talking about. It's amazing to be able to live and participate in the reality of it," he added.
The large number of new members and baptisms comes as the country continues to struggle economically. Warren explained that it's times like these that the church was meant for.
"The Bible says the church is the support and foundation of the truth," he said.
"If you don't have a good support and a good foundation when an earthquake comes around, your house will collapse. The same is true of every area of life," Warren added. "If you don't have the correct foundation and support for finances, relationships and your marriage, it will all collapse"
The C.L.A.S.S. 101 session was specific to Saddleback, but Warren also emphasized the need for everyone to find a church they can grow in.
"A Christian without a church home is an orphan," he said. "We aren't in competition with any church. We want every church to grow."

Josh Hamilton is out of the starting lineup for #Angels tonight. He left Friday with soreness in his knee. #Angels have recalled J.B. Shuck.— James Schmehl (@jamesschmehl) July 26, 2014
Original Text
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Josh Hamilton is once again dealing with an injury that could keep him out of the lineup.
The 33-year-old veteran was removed from his team's game Friday against the Detroit Tigers in the fourth inning and replaced by Efren Navarro. The club later announced that this was the result of a knee injury:
INJURY UPDATE - @thejoshhamilton left tonight's game with a sore left knee.— Angels (@Angels) July 26, 2014
Hamilton missed about a month-and-a-half earlier in the year due to a torn ligament in his thumb. He had been able to remain in the lineup until this point, but he struggled to a .291 batting average and just five home runs.
Despite the lack of power, Hamilton has remained the cleanup hitter for the Angels, where he has contributed with his .322 batting average with runners in scoring position. His solid production has helped the team remain one of the best in the major leagues. Only the AL West rival Oakland Athletics have a better record at this point of the year.
If Hamilton is forced to miss a significant amount of time, the squad could end up struggling to replace him in the lineup. Outfielder Grant Green was recently placed on the disabled list, which leaves Navarro as the only other option for the Angels.
Based on the severity of the injury, it is possible Los Angeles will start looking for outfielders before the trade deadline.

is Rage any good? cant decide if i want to pick it up for 5 bucks.
Good, but not great. Could've and should've been great - but, it's not.
The story is nothing special; and the ending is down-right terrible and actually worse than ME3's ending.
Though, this game has the best and coolest characters I've seen in an Id game.
Recycled areas for side-missions is not a good thing, either - and this is one of the major problems w/ this game. You'll feel like you've went through many of these areas before - b/c you've often explored them in the main quest!
Also, it can be a pain in the butt to just game actually looking and running well - if you actually can succeed at this.
Though, if you like Id-style shooters and combat - you'll see this is what this game is fantastic at.
Also, keep in mind - RAGE is like over 20 GB in size...

LP Monday Message: 149 elected Libertarians, help find more
Posted on Feb 15, 2010
February 15, 2010
Dear Friend of Liberty,
Nationwide, there are 149 Libertarians holding elected public office. 36 of them are partisan offices, and 113 are non-partisan offices. You can view the entire list here.
If you know of an elected Libertarian who is not on this list, please email us at email@example.com. Please include the words "elected libertarian" in the subject line.
We sometimes use political terms that may not be completely familiar to people who don't follow politics daily. Partisan elections are those where the candidates appear on the ballot with a party name, such as "Libertarian" or "Republican" or "Democrat," next to their names. Most races for governor or U.S. Congress, for example, are partisan. On the other hand, many states have non-partisan elections for local offices such as city council or school board, which means, among other things, that the candidates aren't associated with a political party on the ballot.
Because election laws vary so much from state to state, it's not always easy to decide who should be on our list of elected Libertarians, particularly when it comes to non-partisan races. Additionally, we give quite a bit of leeway to the state affiliates to decide who is or is not considered an elected Libertarian. In any case, below is an approximation of the criteria used to determine if someone qualifies to appear on the list of elected Libertarians compiled by the National Libertarian Party:
For partisan offices:
a) In the elected official's most recent election for his or her current office, the party designation that appeared on the ballot with his or her name was "Libertarian"; or b) the elected official is currently registered to vote as a Libertarian.
For non-partisan offices:
The elected official must be a current dues-paying member of the National Libertarian Party.
Again, please let us know if you see that somebody is missing who maybe should be listed. If you have questions or need clarification, let us know.
Perhaps you know of someone who is already elected to a non-partisan office who has Libertarian leanings, and you could convince him or her to join the Libertarian Party.
Many local offices are up for election this coming spring. If you are interested in running for an office, please fill out our candidate form here.
Wes Benedict
Executive Director
Libertarian National Committee
P.S. If you have not yet become a member of the Libertarian Party and
wish to do so, please click here and join the only political party
dedicated to free markets and civil liberties. If you need to renew,

Duvall Police looking for Explorers for new program
The City of Duvall Police Department, in conjunction with the Boy Scouts of America, has formed a Duvall Police Explorer Post.
The program, headed by Duvall Police officers, is open to all interested individuals between the ages of 14and 21.
The Explorer program is designed to give youths a better understanding of law enforcement through training and experience. Explorers meet with the Explorer advisor at least once a month for training. This training encompasses a wide variety of topics required of police officers.
Once Explorers can demonstrate a certain level of proficiency, they are able to assist the Police Department with tasks ranging from crowd control during Duvall Days to call-outs for natural disasters such as floods.
There will be an open meeting for new members on Wednesday, Sept. 2, 6:30 p.m. at the Duvall Fire Hall. Anyone interested is encouraged to attend.

Take Anti-Lynas to National Stage & Prove Them Wrong!
Despite the efforts to protest against Lynas by a number of activists and concerned Malaysians, a number of BN leaders (e.g. Nur Jazlan & Tajuddin Abdul Rahman) and a few analysts (e.g. Ong Kian Ming) said the issue may effect two parliamentary seats in Pahang BUT is unlikely to gain traction among voters out of state and affect the ruling coalition's chances in the next election.
Concerned Malaysians must strive to prove them wrong. Lynas is akin to a cancerous growth inside our body. If a part is effected, it will spread to the rest. Malaysia will face an unimaginable social and economic costs.
Family and social life would be badly affected. How many families in Kuantan and Gebeng areas would feel safe living near to the Lynas rare earth plant? Can we imagine the mental anguish faced by the people around the area?
All over the world, experts are good at giving out promises and are quick to justify their assurance once there is a mishap which may cause serious radioactive contamination of water source and others.
If rare earth processing plant is so safe, why can't the company set up the plant in Australia which is seven times the size of Malaysia. It does not make an economic sense to ship the raw materials to Kuantan all the way from Australia. Surely, it is more cost effective to locate the plant in Australia.
However, the environmental conscious Australian government and public would not want anything to do with the plant.
The question is why Malaysia? Is Lynas investment part of the grand Economic Transformation Programme of the administration? The plant is expected to create 3,000 jobs. How many local workers would risk their health to take up employment at the plant? Most of the vacancies might end up being filled by foreign workers.
On top of this, Lynas is given generous tax holiday. So, what is the benefit to local taxpayers? We might end up having to spend more to clean up the mess should anything untoward happens.
BN politicians said they are prepared to lose Kuantan and Indera Mahkota parliamentary seats. They are underestimating our ability to take the fight to national stage. I would like to urge you to prove them wrong!
In solidarity with our fellow citizens in Kuantan and Gebeng, I would like to urge the Save Malaysia and Anti-Lynas committee to ask all parliamentarians and assemblymen, throughout Malaysia, to make a stand on Lynas.
I noted that there are a few BN leaders who are against the Lynas plant. To be fair, we should not target the parties. Let these individuals make a stand.
Malaysians, this is the time for unity. This is the true clarion call for 1Malaysia! Do you part, ask your local representatives for their stand on Lynas. Do it NOW!
Get them to announce their stand in public. We shall get rid of the cancerous cells.
Take our Anti-Lynas to National Stage! It deserves better attention. This is the day Malaysians should feel proud standing up for something meaningful - thousands of innocent lives.
Politicians should listen to us, not the other way round.
1 comment:
First of all why are the Umno GOM politicians so interested to have Lynas in Kuantan,Malaysia.The Australian government and people treat it like they are rotting lepers.And the GOM is rolling out the red carpet for them to come here.
If the Lynas plant go ahead as scheduled,the first sign of trouble at the plant and there will be an exodus of people from Kuantan and neighbouring districts to other states.Property values then will drop like a rock.
If Malaysia's ruling elite can afford to let one trillion of illegal ringgit flowed out of the country in the last decade,who needs Lynas.Why Lynas?Corruption corruption corruption,money in the bank,that is why.
These Umno/BN politicians must be chased out of office before they do more damage to the country.It has to be in GE 13th when Umno is at its weakest or never again have this chance in another fifty five years.

Style: Red Wine
Grape Type: Merlot
Origin: France
Region: Bordeaux
Appellation: Saint Emilion
91 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - May/June 2008
($200-$325) Deep red-ruby. Aromas of raspberry, smoked meat, mocha and marzipan convey an almost exotic ripeness. Fat, large-scaled and supersweet; undeniably thick and concentrated but perhaps a bit unrefined. Finishes with huge but sweet tannins. A major mouthful of wine. Fans of sheer size will rate it higher.

Now that's how you promote a movie!
If there's anything we learned from 'Inglorious Basterds,' it's that history's more fun when Hitler gets his ass kicked. Apparently we're not the only ones who live by that credo, because Paramount Pictures has just released a new poster for 'Captain America: The First Avenger' that has us grinning like idiots and thinking it might be the best poster we've seen all year.
After getting a handful of 'Captain America' posters that all looked the same as the first one (we also shook our heads as to why anyone thought it would be a good idea to plaster Professor X's face over his silhouetted crotch), it's pretty fair to say that outstanding superhero posters have been lacking as of late.
But this is a game-changer. This has us legitimately excited for that July 22 release date, and did we mention that it shows Captain America cold-cocking Hitler's dumb face? God bless America.
Hit the jump to see the full poster in all its Nazi-hatin' glory.
A thing of beauty, folks.
Not only is this a gorgeous throwback to the glory days of the '40s, but it gets major bonus points for adapting the Fuhrer's beatdown from one of Cap's most iconic covers. What a cool move from Paramount, and other studios had better take note.
Oh, how we hope that actually happens in the movie, 'cause we're pretty sure it doesn't in 'Green Lantern.'
What do you think: Totally awesome, or totally awesome?

Dr. Byron Rossi knew his Howland High School Class of 1980 has given scholarships to many graduating seniors.
"I wanted to give something back more long-lasting and permanent - bricks and mortar-type of legacy for our class," said Rossi, a former football player for Howland.
The Canton-based dentist knew full well about Ohio State's tradition of ringing the victory bell and singing Carmen Ohio (OSU's alma mater) following football games.
Even though OSU's bell is in a tower, Rossi wanted the Class of 1980 to give his high school alma mater a similar tradition as well - something closer to the Howland fan base.
The Class of 1980 is donating a victory bell to be placed near the flagpole and band shelter inside Richard Lombardo Stadium.
"Byron had called me and asked me about a victory bell or doing something in the stadium," Howland Athletic Director Ron McCleary said. "He mentioned the bell. I thought it was a good idea. A lot of schools have it. We have a great spot for it. We actually did a little research and saw some schools that had them."
The brick base, which will be colored orange, is slated to be 40 inches high by 40 inches wide, according to Rossi. The bell will be black, to go along with the school's color scheme.
"We want to concentrate on making the designs and everything just right on it so it will be there a long time," Rossi said. "If it's not ready by the opener, that's OK. We want it ready for the homecoming."
This donation comes in the middle of a campaign where Howland is trying to get turf for its football field in the next couple of years, McCleary said
The donation of the victory bell will cost between $3,500 to 4,000 - all from donations from that Howland class.
Nicolette Bartz Koozer from the Class of 1980 said the money is almost raised.
"We have a lot of commitments from classmates and I hope they come in soon," she said.
"We are accepting money from our graduates," Rossi said. "We want to make it purely our gift, not going to other local businesses or other Howland graduates - totally built by our class."
Howland's opener is Aug. 30 against Akron Kenmore, while the homecoming is Oct. 4 against Marion Harding. The Tigers have seven home games this season.
"We expect to have it in by the first game," McCleary said. "We expected to have it completed. It won't be moved at all when we actually do put turf in. When we put it in, it will be in a permanent spot position."
A separate tiger is slated to be built next to the victory bell, Rossi said.
"Even if we don't have a tiger by Aug. 30 or even Oct. 4, the stand will definitely be up," he said. "It will be separate because it's a decent-sized tiger in front of the bell. It will be a two-tiered brick mounting. At the lower level, dead center, we want to get a tiger's head. Behind that, just a little bit elevated from that, will be the bell."
McCleary said the victory bell will be a source of pride for years to come.
"We think it's going to be something that's going to be great for our kids, the band and the football team," he said. "We're going to place it near the flagpole, which is right next to the band shell. Like a lot of schools, at the conclusion of the game, win or lose, our players stop to sing the alma mater. Of course, we think that victory bell is going to be a source of pride for us following games, ring it a couple of times in victory. Then, engage it with the band in singing the alma mater. We think it's going to be something that's going to be good for our stadium and be just another source of pride within our stadium and our school district."

Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao's Wife, Mother Asking For Retirement
Philippine boxing hero Manny Pacquiao shed tears on national television on Monday, saying he had let his country down in his devastating knockout loss to his great Mexican rival Juan Manuel Marquez.
The low morale, the sadness, I accept that. This is my job... But the reaction of the Filipinos, the many who cried, especially my family, it really hurts me, he said in an interview on the GMA network.
The former eight-division world champion wiped tears from his eyes listening to his wife, Jinkee, make a tearful appeal on camera for her husband, who turns 34 next week, to hang up his gloves.
When you see your husband get hurt, you cannot even sleep, she said in the interview, conducted in the United States after Saturdays Las Vegas bout.
Asked if she wanted her husband to retire from boxing, she said: You know the answer to that. He knows what I am asking him.
Pacquiaos mother Dionisia made a separate appeal on the same station.
I have long asked you son, it is time to retire because you started boxing at such a young age. I always pray that he will stop. I asked God to tell my son to stop, she said.
She said she was alarmed by her sons knock-out at the hands of Marquez in the sixth round of their non-title fight Saturday night local time in Las Vegas.

Yeah Manny it's time for you to retire, unless you fight Floyd.
Floyd would knock you down and you might not get up. That would be fun to see.

Any others, subject to editing, are published in the online Journal Junction at www.journal-news.net under opinions.
From Martinsburg:
Where or how would anyone go about getting rid of unused interior cans of wall paint?
From Martinsburg:
I encourage co-workers and others in charge to stand up for women who are intimidated and discriminated against by their boss. I can't believe a whole group of people would allow this to happen to employees that they are responsible for in the workplace. Very sad and not very professional, but I guess it is an election year and the less that is said, the better it is for them!
From Inwood:
To Gerrardstown, regarding two-hour delays: You don't have children, have never had a sick child, have never had to call upon a spouse or other relative (which you undoubtedly are blessed with in your perfect life) to help care for that child. With respect to the delays, I understand their importance. The "shoulda thought about delays before having children, or live within your means, or spend more time with your child" comments are just uneducated.
From Jefferson County:
To the person who wrote: "We need to vote them out before they totally mess up this country with their wrong-headedness." Do you remember the wrong-headed policies that brought us to the brink of financial disaster in 2008? Romney/Ryan are advised and supported by the same people who developed those policies. If you liked the policies that took us from a balanced budget to the 2008 panic, you will love Romney's policies.
From Jefferson County:
Regarding the Jefferson County Board of Education finding the $6.3M: Why after finally getting many inefficient teachers to accept retirement is the board now rehiring so many retired teachers as substitute teachers? Young teachers new to the profession have to start somewhere, often in this county by working as a substitute teacher and then moving up from that list as full-time jobs become available. How can they do this if the list is already made up of retired teachers?
From Clone Run Road:
We were placing the RV cover on when hubby fell from the ladder. Three young men came to help. It was Saturday afternoon, they were walking. Parents, thank you for having such good boys. Thank them for us.
From Charles Town:
When one man laughs and chuckles with a sarcastic tone at another's views on something, it usually means they are insecure and immature. I'm sorry Biden had to show his true colors, now it's time to be voted out. Hello, Ryan!
From Huntfield:
Has anyone noticed how many more deer are in the area? I thought our new City Council members promised to thin the population. What exactly are they waiting for?
From Charles Town:
Seriously, after watching Joe Biden totally embarrass Paul Ryan in the VP debate, does anyone really think that Ryan is capable of leading our country?
From Harpers Ferry:
To the person who bought the orange Camaro from a guy on Old Leetown Pike: He would like to have his wheels back.
From Charles Town:
To the person from Harpers Ferry asking about a soup kitchen: The Jefferson County Homeless Coalition is dependent on volunteers. We provide an overnight winter shelter and a year-round daily drop-in center to give assistance to those without homes. We need volunteers to help with meals, supervision of our programs and be a caring presence. You may contact us at email@example.com.
From Hedgesville:
To the party who had a house for sale just a few days in the 500 block of Virginia Avenue: You should know that your realtor did not present all possible offers to you on the day you asked for best and final offer. For two days before that I waited for the realtor to contact me on my inquiry about your property. How many other parties did they ignore? This is clearly unethical in my opinion.
From Martinsburg:
To the real low-life person who stole the chenille blanket from me at Edwards Auction on Saturday: If you wanted it you should have bought it, but thank you for being a thief. Hopefully it is infested with bedbugs! You are the kind of people I am sure Edwards Auction does not want. I, on the other hand, pay for my items.
From Huntfield:
As if the leaves, deer and bird droppings were not bad enough, now a neighbor informs me that some of the alligators that live in the Shenandoah River have been making their way inland and ending up in peoples' yards. What are county officials going to do about this? We cannot keep our children and pets locked indoors forever.
From Berkeley Springs:
Open Arms Ministries, W.Va. 9 West of Hedgesville, will be having a special all day service on Sunday, Oct. 28. The Stevens family (Willing Vessels) will be blessing us with music and the message. We will break for a meal and time of fellowship and then return for a message. Everyone is invited to join us for this special time. For more info, call 304-676-4660.
From Hedgesville:
Tonight is the homecoming dance in Hedgesville, and yes the traffic is heavy, however does that give a Berkeley County ambulance driver the right to use their siren and lights to have traffic move over so they can pull into Murphy's gas station so the three occupants can get a soda? Now is this misuse of taxpayer dollars or someone's abuse of their authority?
From Martinsburg:
In relation to the Interstate 81 article: Why is it that no one is talking about how many years it has taken the crew working on the Marlowe overpass? Do they even work on this anymore? Rarely do I ever see work getting done.

World Bank Promotes Geothermal Energy Expansion in Developing Countries
6 March 2013: The World Bank has called on multilateral banks, governments, donors and business stakeholders to join the nascent Global Geothermal Development Plan (GGDP), which envisages fostering geothermal energy that is, at present, underutilized. The Bank expects to mobilize US$500 million for the GGDP to better manage risks of exploratory drilling and mainstream geothermal energy.
The mission of the GGDP is to scale up funding for exploratory drilling and to enhance commercial opportunities for future projects at a global scale. The Bank indicates that the most adequate regions to explore for geothermal energy include East Africa, Southeast Asia, Central America and the Andean region of South America.
According to the World Bank, to date only 11 gigawatts of geothermal energy are being produced globally but has three advantages from the perspective of the developing countries– it is clean, reliable and locally-produced. However, prohibitively high up-front costs of up to $15-25 million have hindered its expansion.
The Bank says donors can contribute to GGDP by evaluating project viability; providing bilateral assistance; or contributing to the Climate Investment Funds (CIFs) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The GGDP is designed to complement the Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative that seeks to provide universal access to modern energy services, double the proportion of renewable energy in the global energy mix, and double the rate of energy efficiency improvement.

While Sacramento enjoyed above-average temperatures and sunny skies this weekend, big changes are on the way.
The forecast for Monday calls for sunny skies and cooler afternoon temperatures in the low 70s.
A big change will come Tuesday night with the arrival of a strong, rain- and snow-producing storm. The system is moving in from the Gulf of Alaska.
The KCRA 3 First Alert Weather Team is tracking the storm that is expected to bring wet weather through Wednesday and Thursday.
Beginning Tuesday, the Sierra will be on a winter storm watch.

- This reply was modified 5 months, 3 weeks ago by firstname.lastname@example.com.
Found the answer thanks to Support. For anyone else who wants the home page to display as sidebar/content/sidebar you must replace the code in front-page.php with the following:
//* Force sidebar-content-sidebar layout setting
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_sidebar_content_sidebar' );
Now it works! Not exactly "out of the box" but this tweak should do it.May 29, 2015 at 5:20 pm in reply to: Can home page with 2 sidebars be widgetized? #154172

It works fine until I start adding featured post widgets. Once I add even one widget, the layout reverts to content/sidebar. If I remove the widget, it goes back to sidebar/widget/sidebarMay 29, 2015 at 9:46 am in reply to: Home page with 2 sidebars? #154117

I found that the solution was in the css file not home.php. I removed the background color from .home-top-left and that seemed to fix the issue.

Happy Friday, my friends! First things first.
1) If you look to the left of your screen, you'll see some changes have been made to the blog. First of all, it's now three columns instead of two. I recently was approved as a Foodbuzz Featured Publisher! It's been one of my goals since I started the blog and I'm so excited that it's finally worked out.
2) I'm slightly computer challenged. I'm doing my best to try to learn all of this coding and widget stuff to make my blog look presentable again. It might take some time…so please hang with me! The main problem is that the size of the middle column has changed and now all of my picture layouts are messed up 🙁 Like I said, I'm working on it…but i'm not sure if i'll be able to fix past posts or if i'll just have to focus on future posts.
Basically what it boils down to is "Please excuse my virtual dust while I reconstruct!" THANK YOU!!
Moving on, look what goodies I found for you this week!!
Check out these eco-friendly lunchbags from Rebel Green:
Or this one from JulieMeyer:
Sigh…I want them all.
In case you're new to Lindsay's Lunchbox, it's a weekly feature on my blog where I post a few healthy lunch ideas. In addition, I ask readers to send me pics of things they ate for lunch this week. I compile them all into these posts, thus providing everyone reading with a one-stop shop for lunchtime inspiration! Did you eat something great for lunch this week? Next time, snap a picture and email it to me at email@example.com!
Moving on to food, here's a few ideas for you this week:
1) Loaded potato
Bake them the night before or stab one a few times with a fork and throw it in the microwave for five minutes. Then, instead of topping it with sour cream, bacon and cheese, try adding some or all of the following toppings: black beans, vegetables, chicken sausage, barley, salsa, cumin and a little cheese!
Although I was already planning to make these, I was happy to see them pop up on a couple of other blogs this week as well! Both Jessica & Erica enjoyed these delightful treats this week. And you may remember we enjoyed them in NYC as well.
2. Grilled Cheese
I mean really, does it get any easier. Some bread, a little butter, some cheese and a little heat…Voila! Bonus points for using homemade bread like I did!
3. Parfait

FAU Ranks Among Top 100 Colleges and Universities in Graduating Hispanic Students
BOCA RATON, FL (May 21, 2010) – Florida Atlantic University has been ranked 25th out of 100 of the top four-year colleges in the nation in conferring bachelor's degrees on to Hispanic graduates, according to a survey conducted by Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education magazine . The magazine reaches out to members of the higher education community with information related to Hispanics in academia, and informs college students, organizations and community-based corporations of matters Hispanic students encounter on college campuses.
"We are extremely proud of the academic accomplishments of FAU's diverse student body," said FAU Interim President John Pritchett. "To be in 25 th place in the national rankings for Hispanic students is indeed a point of pride."
The survey is based on the 2008-09 academic year, in which FAU advanced from being 26th in the 2007-08 rankings. The findings state that FAU awarded 816 bachelor's degrees to Hispanic students during the 2008-09 academic year. This figure represents 18 percent of all FAU undergraduate degrees awarded in that academic year. The number also reflects a rise in the number of Hispanic undergraduate degrees conferred. In 2007-08, FAU awarded 738 degrees to Hispanic students.
In the category of master's degrees, FAU awarded 138 degrees to Hispanic students during the 2008-09 academic year. This number represents 13 percent of all FAU master's degrees awarded in that academic year and designates FAU as 54 th in the nation in the awarding of master's degrees to Hispanic students. In 2007-08, FAU awarded 125 master's degrees to Hispanic students. This represents 11 percent of all master's degrees conferred during that academic year at FAU. Last year's report ranked FAU as 55 th in the nation in the awarding of master's degrees to Hispanic Students.

"I committed to Texas A&M," Avery said. "I think it was mainly because it felt like home. All of my friends and family felt like it was the right place for me too."
The 6-foot-5, 203-pound Avery ran the 40-yard dash in 4.75 seconds, the shuttle in 4.72 seconds and posted a 25-inch vertical jump.
"At this point I don't know if I would visit any other schools," Avery said. "I guess we'll just have to say, but right now I am a firm commitment and don't have anyone else in mind that I would want to visit."
During his junior campaign Avery was a second team all-district selection.
"Texas A&M was always at the top," Avery said. "There were other schools I considered, but A&M was always in my heart. I called the coaches and told them I was committing and they were real happy."

Weather Girls
There's a lot of fun in this album. The title tune, the 1962 Four Seasons' hit, is appropriately playful. There's also a cover of the Creedence Clearwater tune Down on the Corner. And Well-a-Wiggy has a relaxed girl-group sound, even though it is impossibly shmaltzy as only a pet-name song can be (it's dedicated to Izora Armstead's husband, Frank, whom she calls her "Wiggy"). Still, Izora and the other W.G., Martha Wash, never really cut loose, which is disappointing. It may be that they miss Paul Jabara, who produced their 1983 first LP, It's Raining Men. In any case, nowhere on this album do they mount the sort of gutsy attack that makes them such an exciting duo. If Evan Rogers they sounded any more toned Bearing the white man's funk down, it would be tempting to think they had done something silly, like starting to diet. (Columbia)

First printing. The author's rather hard-to-find second book for children. Although written just a few years after her detention in a 'wartime Assembly Center' (where she met Henry Sugimoto, the illustrator of the this book), this is a sunny and upbeat story of a thoroughly assimilated Japanese-American family living in Berkeley, CA, a story based loosely on the author's childhood experiences. Near fine in very good dust jacket (one closed tear to the edge of the dj, some rubbing to back cover and a little toning to the spine.) Overall in very attractive condition. .
