Scathing U.S. view of French unrest and Muslim integration in WikiLeaks
(Photo: Local youths watch firemen extinguish burning vehicles during clashes in the Paris suburb of Aulnay sur Bois, early November 3, 2005/Victor Tonelli)
The U.S. embassy in Paris turns out to be one of the sharpest critics of France's track record in integrating its Muslim minority. Thanks to WikiLeaks, we now have its unvarnished view of the 2005 unrest in the poor suburbs of Paris and other large cities. It is a scathing indictment that goes beyond even what many of the government's domestic critics at the time were saying. It may also go beyond most if not all of the criticisms of domestic policy found in cables from other European capitals (has anyone found anything more devastating elsewhere?). Here is our overall news report on the cables. Some excerpts from the key cables are copied below.
For FaithWorld, it's especially interesting to see what the embassy says about "what the violence is not". Back in those days, some American media were throwing around terms like "Paris intifada" and "Muslim riots" as if Huntington's "clash of civilisations" had reached the outlying stations of the Paris Metro network. The cables are clearly written to refute that view. Yes, many of the rioters came from a Muslim background, but this was a socio-economic protest by a growing underclass, as we have argued in earlier posts such as "Smoke without fire - there was no 'Paris intifada' in 2005? and "Why we don't call them 'Muslim riots' in Paris suburbs."
(Photo: Hooded youths from poor suburbs of Paris taunt riot police during a nationwide protest against a youth jobs law, in Paris March 28, 2006/Jacky Naegelen)
If religion had to be brought into the issue, it would have to be mentioned as an underlying cultural background on both sides - something that French politicians and editorialists didn't do and don't like. But this cable did do that in one of its most striking quotes - "The real problem is the failure of white and Christian France to view their darker, Muslim compatriots as real citizens." As Le Monde put it: "The Americans' logic has never been explained in such transparent fashion."
It's interesting to see how the embassy links the social exclusion of the Muslim minority now with possible radicalisation of some Muslims in the future. The first of our three excerpts examines the security issue in August 2005, months before the banlieues (suburbs) erupted in protest.The second and third analyse the protests themselves.
Italics are our own, to highlight the main points in these excerpts:
PUTTING OUT BRUSHFIRES: FRANCE AND ISLAMIC EXTREMISM - August 17, 2005
Although confident with its "offensive" C/T strategy, France still struggles with integration
(Photo: An Islamist arms dump uncovered by police in Choisy-le-Roi, an eastern Paris suburb, containing a rocket-launcher, three machineguns, three riot guns,several pistols, 8,000 cartridges and equipment to make explosives, 28 Feb 1995/Stringer)
Alain Chouet, former head of the DGSE (France's external intelligence service), added that the presence of the RG throughout French territory allows for "permanent surveillance and penetration of problematic communities." Furthermore, said Chouet, "It is hard to imagine the Anglo-Saxon countries imitating our harassment tactics, which sometimes take place without any real proof of wrongdoing."
?11. (SBU) Poloffs recently visited the northern Paris suburb of La Courneuve, which has recently become a living metaphor for violence and Islamic extremism in France... La Courneuve now features many large HLM (low-income housing projects). The streets are relatively wide and empty, with little street-level commerce aside from government services and larger supermarkets. No one background dominated and we saw no visible signs of an Islamic presence (we passed only one synagogue and no mosques). The suburb did not feel dangerous; instead it seemed more bleak and deserted than anything else... Its appearance confirmed what statistics report: the overwhelming majority of Muslims in France (whether from Africa, the Maghreb, or the newly converted) are moderate. The problem lies with the one or two apartments that harbour Islamic extremists hidden within the tens of thousands that do not.
?12. (C) Comment: As is widely recognized, the GOF wields a muscular and effective counter-terrorism apparatus that identifies potential terrorists and thwarts potential terrorist operations. Although there is always room for improvement, the GOF appears to have done what it can in the short- and medium-term to combat Islamic extremism. Over the long-term, however, much work needs to be done.
(Image: La Courneuve marked in red, north of central Paris outlined by the circle in the middle of this map of the Greater Paris area)
France does not only have an integration/immigration problem; it must also work to give a place to Muslims in the French identity. Despite claims that its commitment to secularism nullifies prejudice against any religion, it is an open secret that historically Catholic France has heretofore failed to muster sufficient will and understanding to truly accept Muslims as French citizens. Although Islamic extremism may never completely disappear from France, acceptance of Muslims as full, participating members of French society will go a long way to minimizing its reach.
THE FRENCH INTEGRATION MODEL: GOING UP IN SMOKE? - November 9, 2005
What the Violence is Not
?4. (C) Nor has the unrest taken on the tone of an intifada, despite the fact that a large portion of those responsible for the violence are of Muslim background. In fact, Muslim groups have played positive roles in trying to quell the violence.
?5. (C) For the moment, the unrest is not viewed as specifically Muslim ... The issue is seen as a problem of disaffected ethnic minorities, not a local playing out of a clash of civilizations between Muslims and the West...
The French "Way" Questioned
?7. (C) ...The real problem is the failure of white and Christian France to view their darker, Muslim compatriots as real citizens. The cumulative effect has been the creation of a generation of young males lacking parental control and unequipped to secure and hold a job, even if they could break through the formidable barriers of prejudice faced by young Arabs and young blacks in particular.
?9. (C) ... At present, the immigrant community is vastly underrepresented in all parties and barely represented
(Photo: Burnt out commercial centre in Evreux, west of Paris, November 6, 2005/Franck Prevel)
?11. (C) ...The youths perpetrating the violence and vandalism - and the criminal groups that in some cases are manipulating them - are present in every poor suburb, and no amount of policing will preventively keep them completely in check. While responsible leaders across the political spectrum agree that France must do more to integrate its more recent immigrants, agreeing is not the same as doing. The recent wave of unrest has publicly and embarrassingly exposed France's deep social inequalities, reminding the broader public of the persistence of France's large, probably growing underclass ...
?12. (C) ... It will also be a challenge to change deeply ingrained negative attitudes towards non-white immigrants. However, not to make the effort would squander a crucial opportunity to significantly enhance the well-being and prospects of a disaffected Muslim underclass before it becomes politically radicalized.
ANALYZING THE CIVIL UNREST - THE ISLAMIC FACTOR - November 17, 2005
No direct links to Islamic extremism
?2. (C) ... Christophe Chaboud, head of the Ministry of Interior's counter-terrorism coordination body (known by its French acronym - UCLAT), categorically reconfirmed to PolOff on November 15, "we (the GoF) have not found any link between Islamic extremists and those fomenting the unrest. He acknowledged that police and internal intelligence organizations have received "a few" signs that some Islamic extremists have participated in the violence. That said, he believed that they were acting as individuals and not as members of a coordinated, Islamic group.
Fears of extremist and criminal exploitation
?3. (C) Chaboud reported that GoF monitoring of websites and blogs (in France and abroad) nonetheless reveals that extremists are trying to exploit the unrest to their advantage, claiming (for example) that it results from GOF attempts to control and muzzle Islam in France...
?15. (SBU) The gangs of underclass youths who are the perpetrators of the car burnings and urban violence in France are not Islamists, nor are they at all motivated by religion. It is highly misleading to characterize them - as is often done in media coverage - as "insurgent" and "Muslim" youths. The anger felt by these youths stems from how they are trapped and without a future - facing pervasive racial prejudice, and without the skills and education needed to get-a-life of employment and conventional respect.
(Photo: Suburban youths march for two teenagers killed in a collision with a police car in Villiers le Bel, north of Paris, November 29, 2007/Regis Duvignau)
?16. (SBU) That said, the dominant religion in France's low-income housing projects affected by the recent violence is Islam, and there are those intent on "saving" these communities from their social ills by re-founding them on religious, as opposed to secular, principles, in effect filling the vacuum where French republican values have failed to take root. Whether or not Islamic organizations and fundamentalist proselytizing will make significant inroads among the inhabitants of France's immigrant suburbs of course depends on the effectiveness of the GOF's social programs and the willingness of French society at large to face up to its pervasive prejudices against Blacks and Arabs.

The model, 20, got into a scuffle Thursday night in Paris outside L'Arc nightclub, allegedly throwing a punch at a paparazzo after he apparently got too close to her and bestie/fellow model Gigi Hadid, 20.
Jenner's bodyguard stepped in to intervene, holding back the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star and Hadid. The bodyguard also restrained the photographer.
VIDEO: Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid Kill it on the Red Carpet
Jenner said often it becomes "overly invasive."
"When I literally have ten paps waiting outside my house every single day – that's legit stalking," she said. "The fact that I don't have any say in it is frustrating. I understand that I'm a public figure, but it becomes very dehumanizing to have zero privacy. No matter what my title is or what I do, I'm still just a normal person who deserves normal privacy."
Luckily, her friends have her back: "I have a small group, so I don't have to juggle a bunch of people and have them try to understand it."
"But, the people who are in my life and stay in my life have at least somewhat of an understanding – they get it. It's actually kind of nice; some of my friends forget it's even a thing. We'll be hanging out and they'll suggest we go to the mall and I'm like, 'Yeah!' Then we go and they forget that the paparazzi are even an issue," she added. "It's so refreshing to have friends like that. Everything has its benefits and setbacks, I guess!"

Gifts for Dad that matter
Fathers have had a hard time of it in recent years. The oldsters will remember T.V. programs such as "Bonanza," "My Three Sons," "The Andy Griffith Show," "The Cosby Show," and even "I Love Lucy" where fathers were portrayed in an honorable and positive light.
Today, fathers are depicted as bumbling, incompetent, clueless clods on programs such as "Everybody Loves Raymond," "The Simpsons," and "Family Guy." Even the male heroes of such notable shows as "24," the "Law and Order" franchise, and "NCIS" are portrayals of men who are losers at love and family. It's little wonder that fathers are devalued.
Before the advent of cellphones, the most phone calls of the year were placed on Mother's Day. The most collect phone calls were placed on Father's Day. Mother's Day sermons usually extol the virtues and values of motherhood while Father's Day sermons typically exhort the dads to "man up" and quit being such a disappointment. Kids put some thought into Mom's gift on her day, but if a dad receives a gift at all, it is often an afterthought on the night before Father's Day.
Here are a few gifts that fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, and other "father figures" might actually be pleased to receive:
1. Appreciation. Someone said, "A father is someone who carries pictures where his money used to be." It is usually the dad who trains the child in the art of athletics but, when the kid reaches the Big Time and is featured on T.V. his comment is, "Hi, Mom!" Dads will just grimly smile and ache on the inside. Napoleon is said to have remarked, "Give me enough medals and I will conquer the world." He knew the value of appreciation. Do we?
2. Admiration. Or, in another word, "respect." Even little boys want to be admired by those they care about. The driving motivation for males is the "need for significance." If he doesn't get it from his family, he will often seek it elsewhere. What do you admire about your father? Have you ever told him?
3. Affection. Yes, even real men need and desire affection — no matter how crusty they appear. Most little boys become accustomed to hugs and kisses, but somewhere along the way, people think they "outgrow" such displays of affection.
The older my father grew, the more he seemed to want to be hugged by his sons — something we weren't used to. When he was in his final illness, he delighted in simply having his hand held.
Where did we ever get the idea that our dads don't need to be told, "I love you?" Give Dad a hug — even a kiss on the cheek. Not in front of his friends, of course — unless you are a daughter.
4. Attention. When I was in my early 30s, I had my last argument with my dad. He continually gave me advice that I considered to be flawed and told him so. Finally, my mom privately said, "David, he just wants to be in your life. He wants to not be ignored." After that, I listened whenever he gave advice.
To "honor your father" doesn't mean, for an adult, that you have to obey him. It does, however, mean that we give him our attention.
I learned a lot about my dad's early years from my cousin, Connie Salyer. Why from her and not from Dad? Because when he was in his final days in the hospital, she was there by his side and listened to his stories. Living 350 miles from my hometown, I wasn't there and I missed out on something precious.
Want to give Dad a gift? Spend some real time with him. Ask his advice. Ask him to tell you about his own childhood and his early years.
I lost my own father almost 14 years ago. Every Father's Day since then has brought with it a certain sadness. I wish I could give my Dad some real gifts — not ties or socks or underwear. I wish I could give him — just once — the gifts of appreciation, admiration, affection, and attention.
There were missed opportunities and I regret them deeply. Perhaps for you — and your dad — it is not yet too late.

Migration Policy Institute - Climate Change
RSS - Climate Change
Subscribe to our Climate Change RSS feed using your favorite RSS reader: Subscribe
From earthquakes to drought, natural disasters and climate change played a key role in migration flows in 2015. Climate-induced migration surfaced as a concern at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (known as COP21) as international organizations and policymakers have begun to recognize the growing challenges, and potential protection obligations, of such movement.
This MPI event, in partnership with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), discusses the critical issue of climate-related displacement in the Asia-Pacific region, focusing on the vulnerability of environmental migrants and how the international legal framework can better ensure their protection.
Discussion at launch of this MPI-IOM Issue in Brief, Human Rights, Climate Change, Environmental Degradation and Migration: A New Paradigm, which focuses on the vulnerability of environmental migrants and how the international legal framework can better ensure their protection, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.
Environmental change is likely to affect global migration flows in a number of ways. Both long-term trends such as increased flooding and the increasing scarcity of resources as well as shorter term trends like severe weather are likely to contribute to displacement and increased migration for individuals already in vulnerable situations. While often viewed as a negative outcome of climate change, planned migration can also serve as a strategy for mitigating its impact.
This report summarizes the economic and social development policy achievements of Central American countries over the past 20 years, as well as the notable obstacles to development that remain. The author identifies long-term challenges and outlines how they can be incorporated into a new development agenda.
This volume from MPI's Transatlantic Council on Migration aims to fill the analytical gap regarding the question of what greater global cooperation on governing the flow of international migrants could achieve. The book focuses on a set of fundamental questions: What are the key steps to building a better, more cooperative system of governance? What are the goals that can be achieved through greater international cooperation? And, most fundamentally, who (or what) is to be governed?
The impact of climate change as a driver of human migration is expected by many to dwarf all others. Still, certain frequently repeated forecasts of the number of people who stand to be displaced by climate change are not informed by a complete understanding of migration dynamics, as this report explains.

Talk:Pump leak and fire shuts down nuclear reactor in France
Style issues[edit]
Two style issues that immediately caught my notice (alas, the review queue is likely to be sluggish atm, as we're unusually shorthanded for the next week or two).
- The headline is a noun. Headlines really should be sentences (in headlinese, of course), preferably in active voice; see WN:headline.
- The article should start with a lede answering the basic questions about the news event, followed by paragraphs expanding the story in inverted pyramid style. Occasionally it turns out, when reviewing an article with a too-long first paragraph, simply inserting a paragraph break after the first or second sentence can fix the problem; this can be done by a reviewer, but much more than that could not be done by a reviewer since the reviewer has to remain sufficiently independent to review.
--Pi zero (talk) 01:51, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Looking for roommates [Morzine - French Alps]
Hi everyone,
I'm french and I lives in Morzine [French Alps].
I will be riding the whole season this ski resort [Portes du Soleil, with Morzine-Avoriaz].
I have a flat located in the center of Morzine (30m² - 4 bedrooms)
It's typically the kind of accomodation you can get when you come in Morzine.
It's fully clean and furnished (internet, TV screen, hot water, whatever you might want to spend a nice week).
I'm alone and I can accomodate 3 extra-persons.
If some guys want to come, I can offer you accomodation at a cheap price.
This would be the perfect opportunity for you to ride in the French alps at a cheap price, with a local guide.
I can arrange myself transfers from the airport (Geneva) and other stuffs.
Feel you free to contact me by PM. I will give your my details and we could talk further.
This is a serious proposal, for cool riders.
Thanks for taking it seriously
are you looking for someone for a week here and a week there, or are you looking for someone for the whole season?
I've been several times to morzine, and love portes du soleil....
Me and a mate are looking to go boarding for 4 or 5 days end of jan, beginnen of Jan.... would love a guide to show us the best places.
would this be possible? send me details ( price for a week of 4/5 days ) in a pm.
Whats the apres ksi like there? Is is still good, or has it gone down hill like alot of other places?
We like to ride hard during the day and love a beer ( or plenty more :cheeky4: ) afterwards... but we're always on the first lift up :thumbsup:
Hi everyone,
I already replied to Skippy.
The day following his request.
Other people interested can still contact me
...why do scenes from the slasher flick "Hostel" keep popping into my head when I read this post?????? :dunno: :laugh: :laugh: ;)
I didn't know that Morzine was like this small city in Slovakia that everyone recommends you but that you shouldnt visit :)
Hi there,
22 year old female from Scotland looking for accomdation for January as I am about to start work in a hotel.
Any chance you have a free room going to rent? or know of anyone that does?
^ Do you have a time machine too? This post is from 2012.
you never get anywhere in life if you don't ask.. might as well take the chance.

Get the official Quaker Steak & Lube Android application! Find your nearest location, get directions, get quick links to online ordering and more! Every month we will choose a high score winner from our "Wing Drop" game to receive a gift certificate for free food or other goodies!
Great food, awful app. Title says all, I would be embarrassed as an owner of Quaker Steak to have this as an app. Very little in the app is functional, and that which is is very poorly executed. The 10 or so 5 star reviews are clearly astroturfing as this app would fail even as a school project. Please consider rebuilding the app from the ground up, as it is an embarrassment.
Very disappointed. Every option just opens up the website, no actual content in the app. Also, the app will not close or exit. I hope the food is better than app.
Poor..app Took..half an hour to oder take out..doesn't resize right..to order options ..if.its an app. It should be phone format, than computer size.
Completely useless I wasn't even able to pick the nearest place to me, let alone look up the menu. Huge waste of time.
Doesn't work I've tried straight from the website and this app and neither one will let me "order online" PLEASE FIX!
Location doesn't work Can't get location to work and can't see specials. Love the food tho!

Cocoa Brown is a gifted actor, comedian, and mother. She stars in Tyler Perry's The Single Mom's Club which opens Friday, March 14, 2014. Her co-star, Terry Crews says she's the one to watch as being the next great comedian on the scene in an IMDB interview.
She spoke with me about her journey as a comedian, this film and some sage advice for single mothers.
When did you realize you could make people laugh?
I think in college more than anything. I just was about living life and enjoying my moments. But I knew I had a gift the first time when I received a standing ovation on stage.
When did the acting bug bite you?
The fifth grade actually. I did a play where I was cast as the lead and loved it. But coming from a traditional family, acting wasn't considered a career choice but I did a short film in DC about twelve years ago and knew I wanted to be a serious actress.
What is The Single Moms Club about?
It's about five single mothers from different backgrounds and circumstances that are forced into planning an event for the kid's schools to prevent them from being expelled and they all realize how much they do have in common and become each other's village in raising their children.
Who is your character?
Her name is Lytia, who is a no nonsense, caring mom to five kids. Two of her sons took a wrong turn in life and ended up in jail so she finds herself being a little harder on the younger ones. But she realizes that their choices were not a reflection of her parenting and that her babies are fine. She also finds love again even though she fights it tooth and nail. She learned to trust and love again with Branson (Terry Crews' character).
Are there any similarities between you and your character?
I am a single mom to a very active and happy 2-year-old. I do find myself worrying if I make all the right choices in how I raise him but I know I'm blessed to have an incredible village of friends and family that are parents to show me the ropes.
What is the film's message?
Honestly, that it truly does take a village to raise a child and it doesn't make you a bad parent if you scream for help.
How do you balance your busy acting career and motherhood?
I have an awesome village that helps me balance it all. My son has a plethora of aunties and uncles that love his mom and him. I utilize my village. I know that I have to rest sometime and my village ensures I can do that... on occasions.
Do you have any words of wisdom for single moms?
Utilize your village!!! It's crucial that you know who's in your circle and can be there when you hurt, need that moment to breathe and collect yourself. Being a single mom is no joke but it's so much easier when you cast pride aside and call on those friends/family/babysitters. Also don't be so hard on yourself, remember our parents didn't know everything and we turned out all right .... didn't we?
Follow her on Twitter and take a peak at the trailer:

Comments about Storage System:
Bought these from a different site when the product launched and wasn't sure of them at first. The tray is really too bulky for our smaller freezer and the large jars don't really work when making single batches of food (rather than combined meals). Ice cube trays were better for that. However, I use them all the time to store baby leftovers, i.e. when I don't give her a whole container of yogurt. The screwtop lids are great and I would throw a couple of cubes of frozen food in one of these if we were going out for dinner and then just put them in a cup of hot water to thaw/warm up. Now that our daughter is bigger I lightly puree leftovers from our dinner, fill these up, and pop them in the freezer. The lables do come off easily (don't get them wet though). I REALLY loved the cookbook so it's too bad they aren't selling that separately on the site.

The Air Jordan IV was the sneaker that introduced us to the cement speckling, a pattern that's since been utilized by countless sneakers and sneaker companies. This time around the shoe is seen wearing not a cement speckle but an asphalt one. And it's not just seen on the midsoles this time around, but all across the upper. The creation is one of Sekure D, that Australian master of comic book creations. Get with us after the click for a thorough look at this pair of Air Jordan 4s from the lab of Sekure D and let us know what you think in the comments.

|Has changed hands and had a name change already. Not a good sign...
littledrummerboy - 3 Aug 2016 00:03
|Has now become a craft beer type of place. I was quite looking forward to having this new addition to the towns beer scene, but it's a bit crap to be totally honest. A good choice of beers in bottle in the fridge albeit at a really over-inflated price - particularly the British ones. The staff seem pretty inept at serving and have no knowledge of what they are selling. The background muzak is enough to do your head in too!
littledrummerboy - 6 Feb 2016 14:52
|has been operating as a "freehouse" ? been in a few times over the past six months though to be honest although the ales well kept there isn't not much choice - a permanent Greene King beer plus a guest which more often than not is just another approved GK beer - don't feel like rushing back anytime soon.
moclips2002 - 5 Apr 2015 16:45
|The bear is a bit of a hidden gem right on the high street, laid back locals, decent pool table... not as many ales on tap but fairly well kept
dontlookaway - 6 Mar 2011 17:37
|Always liked the Bear, nice beer laid back atmosphere and its consistent. If you fancy a decent drink with good company out of the usual rat run - this is the place

Pattern sizes really don't relate to RTW size. And, pattern size standards are typically redone at different points in time. Chances on, the vintage size you wore before are not the same. But, all pattern companies post their suggested measurements online and you can read reviews here to see how much ease there is (or if the pattern in true to size).

More often than not, you will be buying a larger pattern size than the RTW sizes you wear. It is only a number and it is based on some series of body measurements. The thing that matters most is the end result and how it fits.
Someone once said in another discussion here years ago, when size was being discussed, "there is only one size that matters...the right size", or something to that effect. She was spot on!

Pros: It arrived quickly.
Easy to put together.
Cons: The LCD was broken when it arrived. The entire lower left quadrant of the box and LCD display were cracked, possibly by poor shipping.
Other Thoughts: I have spent a considerable amount of money with little to no assistance and due diligence with this issue. The fact is I have all the parts and no display to use. Had I been home, I would have refused the monitor box, as it was the only damaged box.READ FULL REVIEW

San Francisco, CA 94104
Phone: (415) 954-4907
Farella Braun + Martel LLP represents a diverse group of clients in one of the most diverse regions of this country, and we believe our firm's success is founded upon our diverse workforce. We strive to cultivate an inclusive culture at all levels within our firm and are committed to increasing the diversity of the legal profession through the hiring of law students and attorneys from diverse backgrounds. As part of our continued commitment, we are awarding Diversity Scholarships to support outstanding, diverse Bay Area law students. This year, Farella Braun + Martel will award a total of $30,000 in scholarship grants to be divided equally among three first-year law student recipients.
Scholarship applicants must be current first-year, full- or part-time (attending first-year classes) law students who are students of color, members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) community, disabled, or whose background or experience would otherwise contribute to the diversity of the legal profession. Recipients must currently attend one of the following local law schools: University of California Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall); University of California Davis School of Law (King Hall); University of California Hastings College of the Law; Santa Clara University School of Law; Stanford Law School; or University of San Francisco School of Law.
Our scholarship committee is composed of attorneys and staff at the firm. Firm clients may co-sponsor the scholarship, and our committee may also include representatives of those clients. Scholarship applicants agree that all application materials may be reviewed by committee members, including representatives of client co-sponsors. Scholarship recipients will be chosen based upon a combination of merit and financial need. With respect to merit, the committee will consider each applicant's academic accomplishments, background, activities, obligations and commitment to community service. Need, as interpreted by the committee, will be determined based upon: the applicant's and the applicant's family's income; the applicant's sources of financial aid, including loans, grants, fellowships and scholarships, if any; assets, if any; expenses; and expected income during the summer of 2015. Preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate a commitment to working and living in the Bay Area.
Scholarship recipients will be notified by April 6, 2015 and will receive their scholarship checks shortly thereafter.

However, that rate was adopted with the understanding that commissioners might reduce the increase to $17.50, if City Administrator Fred Russell can find other revenue sources within the next few weeks.
The rate increase would be added to the current tax levy, which is $974.19 on a $100,000 home in city district, and $825 in the county.
There will be three public hearings before millage is finally set on July 28.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- The Jerusalem municipality announced Thursday night that schools would remain closed for a second day Friday, giving school children one more day to play in the rapidly melting snow.
Though the eight-inch snow is disappearing fairly quickly, officials fear low temperatures could make slushy roads treacherous for bus drivers.
Overnight Friday, road crews spread salt while snow plows continued clearing streets citywide.
Israel's meteorological service said parts of the country received as much as 300 millimeters of rain (11.8 inches) and the Sea of Galilee rose 73 centimeters (nearly 29 inches) so far.
Runoff from melting snow on Mt. Hermon expected to raise the water level another 50 centimeters (almost 20 inches) by the end of the month, bringing it to within two meters (yards) of full capacity.
Last winter's rainfall broke a years-long cycle of below-average winter rains that had left the Sea of Galilee dangerously depleted.

While its competitors have been nickle/diming travelers for years with checked-bag fees, Southwest has done its best to equate its brand with the slogan "bags fly free." But the airline's CEO now says that he's not completely averse to the whole notion of making a mountain of cash off baggage fees. [More]
Southwest Could Start Charging For Checked Bags, Says CEO
DOT Fines Southwest For Promoting Deals But Not Actually Making Seats Available At Sale Prices
Is a sale a sale when only a few people can actually take advantage of the deal, or if no one at all can get a piece of the advertised deal action? Nope, said the Department of Transportation, which has fined Southwest Airlines $200,000 for touting a sale that didn't provide enough actual seats — or in one case, any at all — at the bargain price it advertised. [More]
Southwest Wins Customer Over With $75 Voucher She Didn't Ask For
We've said it before and we're about to say it again — Proactively reaching out to customers who've had a bad experience will (almost) always be more effective than trying to apologize and make good later. To illustrate that point, we bring you the short story of Alexandria and Southwest Airlines. [More]
Giving Up 1″ In Legroom Earns Southwest Up To $770 Million A Year
Not so long ago, Southwest began readjusting the seats on its fleet of Boeing 737 jets, getting rid of 1″ of legroom for each passenger in order to squeeze in an additional six seats. Your initial thoughts might be that this a lot of work for just a few more seats, but when you add it up, you're talking nearly three quarters of a billion dollars a year. [More]
Southwest Airlines Mails Lost Phone, Provides Outstanding Service And Terrible Poetry
Jane's husband left his mobile phone behind on a Southwest Airlines plane. Oh, no! How sad! He had every reason to expect not to see it again, but someone turned it in to Lost and Found. The kind souls at Southwest mailed it back to him, enclosing a poem. We're not saying that it was a good poem, but it's certainly a thoughtful one. [More]
Southwest Raising Bag Fees, Will Start Charging For No-Shows
Hours after announcing a $29 million settlement over its drink voucher program, Southwest Airlines revealed plans to add $300 million in new and increased fees, along with a policy change that will certainly irk some frequent Southwest travelers. [More]
Southwest Owes Passengers $29 Million In Free Drinks
August 1, 2010 is a day that many Southwest Airlines Business Select fliers know well. It's the day on which the carrier stopped allowing these passengers to carry over their unused free drink vouchers to future flights. More than two years and one class-action settlement later, Southwest is having to buy a lot of rounds. [More]
'Passenger Of Size' Policies For The Largest Domestic Airlines
For passengers who don't easily fit into the narrow seats on most commercial jets, it helps to know in advance what each carrier's policies. [More]
Relief In Sight For Sandy's Stranded Passengers As JFK & Newark Reopen For Some Flights
Call her a hurricane or call her a superstorm, but weather phenomenon Sandy is responsible for either stranding a lot of passengers away from home or keeping them from their destinations elsewhere. There's some relief in sight after three days of flight cancellations, as two New York-area airports, John F. Kennedy and Newark Liberty, have reopened for some flights. [More]
Southwest Passenger Sues For $800,000 Over Spilled Tea
Tea, unless it's of the "iced" variety, is generally considered a hot drink. Commercial jets, while smoother rides than some planes, are known to be occasionally bumpy. One Southwest Airlines passenger found out the hard way that these two facts could result in her being burned — and she's suing the carrier for $800,000.
Sorry Airlines, Court Says You Have To Tell The Truth About Airfares
In the last year or so, the U.S. Dept of Transportation has instituted a number of new rules — like requiring airlines to include all known taxes and fees in its advertised prices — aimed at adding more transparency to airfares. Some carriers, especially discount airlines that love to advertise a bottom-dollar price with oodles of fine print hiding the fact that it's not such a good price, have challenged these changes. But today, a U.S. appeals court sided with federal regulators (and common sense).
Southwest Doesn't Approve Of Your Cleavage-Baring Outfit, Young Lady
Know how you can avoid situations you have to apologize for later, Southwest? Stop giving ridiculous reasons to passengers why they can't fly. In this case, a woman claims an airline worker told her she'd have to cover up her cleavage before boarding the flight. Her response? Too bad. Not gonna do it.
Only JetBlue, Southwest Score Above Average On Customer Satisfaction Index
For almost two decades, Southwest airlines has sat comfortably atop the American Customer Satisfaction Index's annual survey of air carriers. But not only did Southwest's numbers slip a bit in the new list, it also ceded the lead to JetBlue.
Do You Get More Satisfaction From Cheap Airlines Than Legacy Carriers Because You Expect Less?
When it comes to being satisfied with our flying experiences, it turns out we'd rather opt for low-cost carriers like JetBlue, over old legacy airlines like US Airways, according to a new study that rated customer satisfaction.
Survey Finds Best & Worst Airlines For Redeeming Rewards Miles
It's incredibly easy to pile up airline miles. I think I just earned 400 miles for merely mentioning this fact. But as you may have already discovered, it's not always so simple to actually redeem those miles. A new survey looked at dozens of domestic and international carriers to find which ones were more likely to have seats available for rewards travel.
Woman Sues Southwest To Clarify "Customers Of Size" Policy
You may remember the story from last year about a woman who was not allowed on a Southwest Airlines flight after allegedly being told she was "too fat to fly." The airline apologized for the incident, but the woman is filing a lawsuit in an attempt to get Southwest to clearly define its "Customers of Size" policy.
Southwest Confuses Rabbits With Rodents, Won't Let Passenger Board With Bunny
Southwest Airlines allows passengers to carry-on Emotional Support Animals, so long as the passenger provides the required documentation, the animal is trained to not freak out on a crowded plane and the passenger isn't seated in an emergency exit seat. But at least one Southwest staffer not only decided this allowance does not extend to rodents — he also mistakenly believes that rabbits are rodents.
Southwest Pilot Wishes Happy Birthday To "Mom On Board," Passengers Hear "Bomb On Board"
We have no idea why anyone would think a pilot was saying "happy birthday" to a "bomb on board" a plane, but that's exactly what some passengers on a Southwest Airlines flight from Baltimore to Long Island thought they heard on Friday.
