I know I've seen repeated advice on this website that 00 is best for Neapolitan-style baked at 700-800 degrees. I've searched for an explanation of why 00 doesn't work as well in home oven temperatures of 550 or less. I know it's there but I can't come up with it. Could someone please enlighten me??

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I don't have any children myself, but I'd imagine your reaction is pretty normal - I'm desperate for a girl, and I think I'll have the same reaction if I have a boy, but I'm sure it won't matter once I hold him in my arms.
Name wise, your girls' names are so beautiful and old fashioned, so I assume you would like a name to match?
Finn Charles, Oliver Maxwell or Henry Cole are a few suggestions

I am due to have a little boy in July as well and we have not decided on a name either. I had hoped for another boy and thought we had a name before I even became pregnant... but nothing seems to fit right with him. I think (hope) the name will come to either me or my husband when the baby arrives. I have no name advice, but just know you aren't alone in having a "no-name" baby :-) Good luck!

i'm sorry you are feeling the way that you are. our first was a boy...and i didn't realize it...but i guess i had secretly wanted a girl...because when we found out, i had a pang of disappointment. the hairdo's i wouldn't get to do, the outfits i wouldn't get to buy. seriously...walking into a store irritates me sometimes! the amount of darling girl things vs. boy! luckily, it didn't last long. i love my boy. he is sweet and loving and boys always love their mama! i painted some big murals on our nursery walls! it was a lot of fun! his room is funky and fun...and there isn't a football in sight!
as for the naming bit...we are having our second boy and it is just no fun thinking of a name! that's how i ended up here! what about xavier? or edward? good luck! and i hope you are feeling better soon!

Stephens, Lawler medal on Day 1 of alpine worlds
Americans Laurie Stephens and Stephen Lawler medaled on Day 1 of the 2013 International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Alpine Skiing World Championships, in La Molina, Spain, with Her Royal Highness Princess Elena of Spain and IPC President Sir Philip Craven watching.
The gold medal for the women's downhill sitting event, one of six competitions on opening day, went to Stephens (Wenham, Mass.) for her time of 1:41.07, marking the first world championship for Team USA in Spain. The Torino 2006 Paralympic Winter Games downhill champion topped Canada's Kimberley Joines (1:41.37), the silver medalist, and Germany's Anna Schaffelhuber (1:44.17).
The final event of the day was a thriller with the medal positions changing throughout the men's sitting competition. Stephen Lawler (Burlington, Vt.) looked on course to take Team USA's second gold of the day (1:32.58) until Germany's Franz Hanfstingl, one of the final competitors, came out of nowhere to take gold in a time of 1:31.92.
Chris Devlin-Young (Campton, N.H.), a veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard, finished in fifth place with a time of 1:33.99.
The men's standing competition was won by Austria's Markus Salcher. His time of 1:29.74 placed him ahead of Switzerland's Michael Bruegger who took silver in 1:32.51. Bronze was won by Austria's Matthias Lanzinger (1:33.80).
Spain's Yon Santacana and his guide Miguel Galindo Garces stormed to gold in the men's downhill for visually impaired athletes. Santacana, the 2010 Vancouver Paralympic Winter Games champion in the discipline, led home a strong field to win Spain's first gold of the Championships in 1:25.14.
Despite only one medal, the men's downhill events proved to be a strength for Team USA, with the U.S. men claiming three Top 10 spots: Mark Bathum (Seattle, Wash.) and his guide Sean Ramsden finished the visually impaired race in 1:29.94, taking ninth; Ralph Green (Brooklyn, N.Y.) finished the standing race in 1:34.34, taking ninth; and Tyler Walker (Franconia, N.H.) finished the sitting race in 1:14.91, taking 10th.
Heath Calhoun (Bristol, Tenn.), a U.S. Army veteran, placed 13th in the sitting race with a time of 1:17.01.
On the women's side, the dynamic pair of Danelle Umstead (Park City, Utah) and guide Rob Umstead, her husband, took fourth place in the visually impaired run in 1:41.12 behind Slovakia's Henrieta Farkisova and Natalia Subrtova, who claimed the gold medal. Great Britain's Kelly Gallagher (guide Charlotte Evans) claimed bronze in 1:38.86.
In the women's standing event, France's took gold and bronze through Marie Bochet and Solene Jambaque respectively. Bochet, a silver medalist in this discipline at the 2011 World Championships in Sestriere, Italy, took gold in 1:35.62 whilst Jambaque took bronze for the second successive World Championships in 1:38.52. Germany's 23 year old defending champion Andrea Rothfuss managed silver in 1:37.23.
Allison Jones (Colorado Springs, Colo.) finished with a Top 10 spot, taking eight place with a time of 1:46.71.
Nearly 120 skiers from 28 countries are competing in the event which is the last major international championships ahead of the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games. The 2013 IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships in La Molina, Spain will run through Feb. 27 with Thursday featuring Super-G events.

Expert Q & A Answers About HIV risk prostitutes
How effective are condoms at reducing the risk of HIV?
I had sex with a prostitute two weeks ago. I used a condom, but I was wondering if there's a chance that I'm infected with HIV? This was the first time I ever had sex. I don't have a partner and I may have to rely on paid sex even in the future. If I use a condom every time, what are my chances of getting an STD?

Here's how RW members rated this race (98 votes).
In short: Great fun in a fab setting for a worthy cause.Date of review: November 28, 2012
In short: MovemberIn full: Not a bad little raced , seemed friendly enough , more of a fun run. Very steep hills , ok for the advanced , but I could see lots of newbies that had to walk it. I will give it an 8/10Date of review: November 25, 2012
In short: Fantastic atmosphere, slick organisation, great marshal support, Fun crowd.In full: A chilly morning, thankfully no rain. Massive crowd to encourage the runners. Loads of fancy dress. Loved the warm up before the race (this is becomming the norm for events - and I like it). Runners were penned in and the start was a bit slow (owing to numbers but I wasn't too bathered as i was considering this to be a fun event (had to really as I was in the mankini - how could i take ANYTHING seriously?)The marshals were great, good sinage and massive encouragement. The supporters were fun too, clapping and bell ringing. The course is challenging what with the two hills up towards the observatory (done twice). We were a team of 4 (SES Runners) and we tried to keep together. The water station was placed well (I skipped the water as I knew it would be well cold and could present a stomach cramp issue). I was encouraged on with lots of support and loads of wolf whistles and came in a respectable 50 mins. The medal, drink and sweets were good, perhaps something hot might have been better. I got a special prize of a trophy and a T-shirt from the HP sauce people. Loved the free bacon sarnie!In conclusion - a well organised, well attended, well marshaled event. The route was challenging and the party like atmospher will make this an event to remember. ThanksDate of review: November 25, 2012
In full: You havent lived unless youve run through our beautiful bute park on a glorious november morning,unmissable.The event itself was ideal foe beginners,slightly less so for experienced runners,so many slow and overweight joggers and walkers causing confusion especially on the section where we had to run out and back on a narrow path.Running the 5k at the same time with just a 10 min start was a mistake,it should have been run 30 mins before to enable the 5kers to finish.Very expensive race for just a medal and a bottle of water unless you reverted to childhood and wolfed down the hideous sweets they offered.Results on the website currently confusing ,may be improved soon.Luckily the weather and the surroundings made it all worthwhileDate of review: November 19, 2012
In short: magnificent sunny sunday morning runIn full: Really enjoyed the free bacon sarnie. Some seriously funny fancy dress. Not enough water at the end.The web site for the chip results is not working. Date of review: November 18, 2012
In short: Fun, Fast Course on a cold November dayDate of review: November 18, 2012
Date of review: November 18, 2012
In short: My first 5K and absolutely loved it!!!Date of review: November 12, 2012
In short: Cold, Wet And Muddy.In full: Firstly, it isn't "flat" as described by a few reviews, the course undulates a fair bit with some short, sharp hills, one in particular (about 0.5k long) was ankle deep in mud. The depth of the mud in some places around the course makes this very testing. There is also a small pond towards the end that you run through, cold isn't even the word for it. On balance, good fun and as a relative beginner I wanted to test myself and the race was ideal for this. Muscles ached afterwards. All good fun. Towel and and warm clothes to change into are essential.Date of review: November 5, 2012
In short: Mud,mud and more mud!In full: Lovely race through the beautiful Swinley Forest. Hard going in places especially the water! Great atmosphere.Date of review: November 3, 2012

BarCamp Rochester, the unconference
If you're not familiar with BarCamp events, you might be disappointed to learn, like some people I know, that they have nothing to do with alcohol. Instead, they're an international network of locally organized participant-driven conferences. Often called an "unconference" because of the informal nature and the fact that the content, presentation, and workshops are all determined by the attendees and participants.
The morning of the event, attendees can sign up for a time slot (usually 30 minutes) and speak on a topic of their choice. All attendees are encouraged to present but that's not a hard and fast rule so don't let any public speaking anxiety discourage you from attending. (I attended the last local event but didn't present.) Traditionally BarCamp talks focus on technology but past local talks have ranged from corporate disaster recovery to event planning.
The informal nature of BarCamp events and talks make them extremely well suited to connecting with smart, motivated, and passionate people in your community working on cutting edge stuff. If your company is looking to hire tech people, you'll find the best of the best at BarCamp. Similarly, if you're working on something great, come and tell everyone about it.
The next local event, BarCamp Rochester, is taking place at Rochester Institute of Technology on October 29, 2011. It's free to attend and present but pre-registration is encouraged to assist in planning appropriate event space and lunch (usually free pizza!). Check out the BarCamp Rochester website, http://barcamproc.org/, for more information, registration, and a preliminary list of speakers and topics.

Middle parted dirty blond coloured hairstyle
Long hair plays up the different gorgeous shade of blonde in a simple yet sultry hairstyle. Shoulder-length straight hair is parted down the middle and given some body by natural waves coming through towards the ends. The waves perfectly show off the shine of dark honey blonde nearer the roots and in the inner layers, the dirty blonde of the outer layers, and the light blonde of the ends. The simple part from the forehead has the hair forming an inverted vee,skimming the temples and flaring out towards the shoulders, lending shadows to the cheeks.

Topic: looking for simple persistant web-service server solution
I've created a really basic web-service which one of my applications uses as a proof of concept. At the moment I run a screen command on my web server to get the application running and then close down my shell, but the screen commands seem to have a finite life, I'm not sure whether it's down to inactivity (the web service is rarely called) or whether my shared host (DreamHost) closes them down periodically, either way I want to try and make the service stay up more permanently. How can i get a server, like web brick, to serve my code? how can i make it persist on the server? can I use fastcgi somehow?
thanks for any comments/ideas in advance
the service, in case it helps

As we continue to respond to the heartbreaking crisis in the Horn of Africa, it's important to keep in mind that we are able to apply some lessons learned from our long term commitment to relief and development work elsewhere in Africa. The key, it seems to me, is to respond to the disaster while also building long term solutions to broader issues. Just before I visited refugee camps along the Somalia border last week, I traveled to Liberia to look into some of our longer term programs there. It was quite an amazing visit.
I was able to view firsthand the synergies between World Food Program (WFP) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) programs there -- programs which aim to improve the food security of Liberians as well as the Ivorian refugee populations they generously host.
Liberia has always had a special place in my heart, not only because of the American history we share, but particularly because of its future promise and potential. Liberia has just been approved as a priority country under President Obama's flagship global hunger and food security initiative -- Feed the Future -- through which the United States promotes a twin-track approach to hunger: by providing emergency food assistance while simultaneously supporting efforts toward sustainable agricultural development.
The WFP and FAO programs being implemented in conjunction with the Liberian Ministry of Agriculture and other partners are key in this effort, and support President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf's commitment to progress. They also ensure that the needs of refugees fleeing conflict from neighboring Ivory Coast are being met.
Our first stop was at Arjay Farms in Kingsville, Careysburg District, which is a prime example of a successful private and public partnership. Here we met two incredible women. One was Minister of Agriculture Florence Chenoweth and the other was Josephine Francis, the owner of Arjay Farms, and the president of a 2,300 strong farmers association that employs more than 50 women. Thanks to Josephine Francis, the association was awarded a grant from the Gates Foundation to carry out seed multiplication with 39 farms.
Minister Chenoweth and Jospehine Francis are the epitome of the industrious, multi-tasking, multi-talented women of Liberia.
The U.S. Ambassador to Liberia, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, to whom I am most grateful for the truly valuable insight she provided throughout the whole visit, and I joined Minister Chenoweth and Josephine, who were working hand-in-hand in the rice paddy with local farmers harvesting an abundant rice crop. In January 2011, Liberia declared itself rice seed sufficient thanks to the assistance of the United States and FAO, which have, since 2006, provided both input and technical support for Liberia to begin rice seed multiplication.
We then traveled to Gbedine where we made a stop at the new Center for Rice Research Institute to view the new offices of WFP, FAO, and the Ministry of Agriculture. It is an example of a country-led plan working closely with the national government -- something we strongly support. We also visited Purchase for Progress (P4P) and Livelihood Asset Recovery sites jointly run by WFP and FAO.
P4P aims to create market opportunities for organized farmers' groups by using a value chain approach. While there, we followed the entire supply chain process, from rice transplanting, to harvest and post-harvest processing -- including parboiling. We spoke to some of the 250 men and 125 women who make up the Dokodan Farmers Cooperative. It is one of two cooperatives awarded P4P contracts, thanks to which they were able to receive training in rice processing and packaging, and purchase the two power tillers they proudly showed us.
I am excited to see the positive changes we can bring smallholder famers under P4P, such as seed multiplication, and improved milling and processing. I am also proud to see an increased number of women doing post-harvest processing.
At and around Bahn refugee camp, which houses thousands of refugees from the Ivory Coast, we met with Liberian hosts and refugees working hand-in-hand in their villages to improve their food security. We felt the strong sense of community whereby Liberian families are paying back the Ivoirian families who hosted them during Liberia's many years of unrest. One Liberian man told us he was hosted by his Ivorian family for nine years, and therefore felt obligated to do the same for as long as his Ivorian relatives needed. And because many of the refugee families I spoke to said they are staying put in Liberia until the situation in the Ivory Coast is stabilized, it is imperative that the programs FAO implements in conjunction WFP build resilience. At and around Bahn Refugee Camp in Nimba County we saw examples of agricultural inputs given to both refugees and host families that produced lush rice plots as well as vegetable gardens aimed at diversifying and supplementing the general food aid diet as well as generating some income to restore lost livelihoods.
Our last visit was to the USAID/Food for Peace-funded LAUNCH (Liberian Agricultural Upgrading, Nutrition and Child Health) project run by ACDI-VOCA. Education is the cornerstone of stability for a country's economic development. At the health and nutrition site, we learned that most of the women and girls present, members of a project Care Group, averaged between the 6th and 8th grade. The young pregnant or lactating girls and women who participate in this program are being trained on the importance of proper breastfeeding and child birth spacing, and other health and nutrition topics.
Finally, I want to congratulate Liberia for receiving a $46.5 million grant from the World Bank and Minister Chenoweth for being awarded the African Prize from the President of Malawi for her work in fighting hunger.
My visit to Liberia was crowned by my private meeting with its formidable President, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. What an honor.
In Liberia, as in Somalia and throughout the region, we are combining immediate relief with longer term solutions. It isn't easy, it is never perfect, but based on what I saw on each step of my trip, we are definitely headed in the right direction and tapping into some very powerful and productive best practices.

Ambassador Cousin:
It seems to me that your post synthesizes the mission of the State dept. providing a concrete example of what we can do collectively to help stabilize nations through food security, education and other initiatives.

We've been having numerous complains on hostel being noisy from time to time. Sometimes, it isn't just houserules that make things work. Guests feedbacks are honestly important in all aspects. We have to offer no frills, undisturb rest for our backpackers; at least that's the most basic requirement.
Because of our strategic and good location, we've been risking something. Being next to a roadside is not a good thing; Most of our guests have no complaints feedback to us the sleep was pretty decent though. We've collected most of the feedbacks and I've concluded that should we do double glazed windows it'll probably take quite sometime for us to be able to afford such kind of luxury, so….
Tadaa! That'll keep most ground floor guests in place, though I do understand that most people don't like things to be stucked in their ears when they sleep, but this is just for emergency use in case you're really feeling irritated by any kind of noise outside (be it other lousy guests, music, road noise etc).
Right now at this very moment, we're getting contractors to get another new door up to block the music that's coming from Backyard Bistro after 10pm. House rules, it's important.
**Update: We have two brand new doors to filter out the music from our Bistro's live band and washing machine/ dryer noise on the 1st level. The doors has been effective in filtering out the noise coming from our bistro! My advice is not to take the ground floor beds unless necessary because the communal area is just right outside.
At G4 Station, we listen.
Now wait, I have never been a fan of kebabs to be plain honest. Nope, never.
Karen and I met up with Nicholas at Haji Lane (The Arab Street area) outside this funky looking Egyptian restaurant. The ambience was somewhat similar as of you visiting a Kopitiam in Little India having roti prata. Pretty cosy and decent. You have egyptian songs playing in the background (verified by asking one of their staff). There're different types of kebabs to choose from, as you can see from the menu.
We ordered some special drinks on the menu which costs us somewhat $9.00 for 3 different ones. My tastebud doesn't tell me anything special about a glass of jasmine and iced lemon tea though.
Here comes the main course.
The meat is tender and the sauce is savoury. The spread of salad and potato wedges are amusingly well proportioned. I'd highly recommend getting a piece of this action when you're around in Arab Street. Having said that, I have never noticed Arab Street to have their own unique stand in the buzzling Singapore city. You have shi sha boutiques, cafes in preserved shop-houses and alot of shopping.
Visit Arab Street if you can when you're here in Singapore. It's not far away from G4 Station
Benson's rating for the kebabs –
(3.0 out of 5.0)

I'm ashamed.
As a Singaporean, I've never been interested in guide books about our own country (Who reads guidebooks of their own country anyway? I bet most of you don't!). Jody, one of our friendly staff has donated a series of Citiescape of Asian countries from Lonely Planet, 2006 Edition.
Not exactly a very comprehensive guide, but it covers and has vivid photos of Singapore, and the rest of the asian countries like Beijing, Delhi, Ho Chi Minh, Sydney (huh?) and more.
What particularly caught me was the itinerary that was listed behind by Mat Oakley, an expat that stayed in Singapore for almost two years,
Start early, amid the chatter of an old kopitiam (breakfast and coffeeshop), for hot sweet kopi, runny eggs and kaya toast, slapped onto your table without ceremony. Once you're loaded with cholesterol, take a stroll in the magnificent Botanic Gardens, then along Orchard Road before the crowds hit.
Head down into the MRT, up one stop to Little India and out into another world of grubby streets and food markets, and dip your hands into a curry lunch – fiery fuel for a walk to the mosques, carpet sellers and coffee houses of Kampong Glam, the Muslim Quarter.
After a cardamom coffee or hot mint tea, take a bus to Chinatown and browse through the antique shops, street markets and teashops. A few steamed dumpling and tea from a Chinatown cafe, then leave the city for the green centre, and Singapore's zoo and peerless Night Safari.
After seeing the sunset with the leopards, do a taxi race down the flawless, tree-lined expressway to Newton Circus, the city's most famous hawker centre. Bursting with seafood and beer, take another taxi to Raffles Hotel for a cocktail.
Energy permitting, dance your way into the early hours with the beautiful people at Zouk, Singapore's thumping megaclub.
Matt Oakley
Well I couldn't put it better in words than Matt. And take note all these locations that are mentioned apart from the Zoo are very, very, very close to G4 Station. So if you're coming and need help in directions, feel free to ask our frontdesk staff for help.
They'll probably point a direction and tell you you can even walk there for some of the destination mentioned above, seeya soon!

Obama: Syrian govt carried out chemical attackBy DEB RIECHMANN and KIMBERLY DOZIER , Associated Press
Aug. 28, 2013 11:21 PM ET
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Wednesday declared unequivocally that the United States has "concluded" that the Syrian government carried out a deadly chemical weapons attack on civilians. Yet U.S. intelligence officials say questions remain about whether the attack could be linked to Syrian President Bashar Assad or high officials in his government.

Obama did not present any direct evidence to back up his assertion that the Syrian government bears responsibility for the attack. U.S. officials were searching for additional intelligence to bolster the case for a strike against Assad's military infrastructure and rule out the possibility that a rogue element of the Syrian military could have used the weapons on its own authority.
While Obama said he is still evaluating possible military retaliation, he vowed that any American response would send a "strong signal" to Assad.
"We have concluded that the Syrian government in fact carried these out," Obama said during an interview with "NewsHour" on PBS. "And if that's so, then there need to be international consequences."
New hurdles emerged that appeared to slow the formation of an international coalition that could use military force to punish Syria. Earlier Wednesday, the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council failed to reach an agreement on a draft resolution from the British seeking authorization for the use of force. Russia, as expected, objected to international intervention.
Obama administration officials said they would take action against the Syrian government even without the backing of allies or the United Nations because diplomatic paralysis must not prevent a response to the alleged chemical weapons attack outside the Syrian capital last week.
British Prime Minister David Cameron promised British lawmakers he would not go to war until a U.N. chemical weapons team on the ground in Syria has a chance to report its findings, pushing the U.K.'s involvement in any potential strike until next week at the earliest. Cameron called an emergency meeting of Parliament on Thursday to vote on whether to endorse international action against Syria.
Even so, British Foreign Secretary William Hague suggested that U.S. military action need not be constrained by Britain. "The United States are able to make their own decisions," he told reporters late Wednesday, just after speaking with Secretary of State John Kerry.
More intelligence was being sought by U.S. officials. While a lower-level Syrian military commanders' communications discussing a chemical attack had been intercepted, they don't specifically link the attack to an official senior enough to tie the killings to Assad himself, according to one U.S. intelligence official and two other U.S. officials. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the intelligence publicly.
The White House ideally wants intelligence that links the attack directly to Assad or someone in his inner circle, to rule out the possibility that a rogue element of the military acting without Assad's authorization.
That quest for added intelligence has delayed the release of the report by the Office of the Director for National Intelligence laying out evidence against Assad. The report was promised earlier this week by administration officials.
The CIA and the Pentagon have been working to gather more human intelligence tying Assad to the attack, relying on the intelligence services of Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Israel, the officials said. The administration was planning a teleconference briefing Thursday on Syria for leaders of the House and Senate and national security committees in both parties, U.S. officials and congressional aides said.
Both the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency have their own human sources — the rebel commanders and others who cross the border to brief CIA and defense intelligence officers at training camps in Jordan and Turkey. But their operation is much smaller than some of the other intelligence services, and it takes longer for their contacts to make their way overland.
The CIA, the Pentagon, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence all declined to comment on the intelligence picture, and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.
Obama said he was not seeking a lengthy, open-ended conflict in Syria, indicating that any U.S. response would be limited in scope. But he argued that Syria's use of chemical weapons not only violated international norms, but threatened "America's core self-interest."
"We do have to make sure that when countries break international norms on weapons like chemical weapons that could threaten us, that they are held accountable," he said.
Laying out a legal justification for a U.S. response, Obama said Syria was violating the Geneva Protocols, an agreement signed in 1925 in the wake of World War I to ban the use of chemical gases. The White House has also cited the Chemical Weapons Convention, a 1992 agreement that builds on the Geneva Protocols by prohibiting the development and stockpiling of chemical weapons.
Syria is a party to the original Geneva accord, but not the latter chemical weapons agreement.
Syria, which sits on one of the world's largest stockpiles of chemical weapons, has denied the charges. Moreover, Syria's U.N. ambassador, Bashar Ja'afari, is demanding that United Nations experts investigate three alleged chemical weapons attacks against Syrian soldiers. He said the attacks occurred on Aug. 22, 24 and 25 in three suburbs of the Syrian capital and dozens of soldiers are being treated for inhaling nerve gas.
Certain members of Congress are expected to get a classified U.S. intelligence report laying out the case against Assad. An unclassified version is to be made public. Officials say it won't have any detail that would jeopardize sources and methods.
Some lawmakers have argued that Congress must authorize any military action unless there has been an attack on the U.S. or the existence of an eminent threat to the U.S. Both Democrats and Republicans on Wednesday pressed the White House to provide a clear explanation of how military action would secure U.S. objectives.
Specifically, in a letter to Obama, House Speaker John Boehner asked him to make his case to Congress and the public about how military action would "secure American national security interests, preserve America's credibility, deter the future use of chemical weapons, and, critically, be a part of our broader policy and strategy."
Boehner said it was "essential you address on what basis any use of force would be legally justified."

Secretary Clinton Statement on Nelson Mandela International DayAbout the Author: Tau Shanklin Roberts serves in the Public Affairs Section of U.S. Embassy Pretoria.
There is much responsibility that comes with being the face of the United States government in a foreign country. We, the embassy community, must uphold and explain the policies of the United States to our counterparts in whatever country we're in; we must also continue to represent the common thoughts, beliefs, and practices that demonstrate what it means to be an American. When I reflect on what it means to be an American, I recall Martin Luther King, Jr.'s statement, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'"
So, it goes without saying that the embassy community would participate in one of South Africa's newest, but most cherised holidays, Mandela International Day.
Mandela Day recognizes and honors the extraordinary contribution to world peace made by former President Nelson Mandela of South Africa. President Mandela is an example to every leader and every nation for his ability to take South Africa out of apartheid and to create a multi-racial democracy without bloodshed. For this, he and former South African State President F.W. de Klerk were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
We recognize this event not only to commemorate the illustrious public service career of a great man, Nelson Mandela (or "Madiba" as we call him here in South Africa), but also to support those who need our help the most. This year the embassy community's contributions for Mandela Day consist of two efforts. The first is an embassy-wide donation drive to benefit Two Sisters, an established care center for children orphaned through the AIDS pandemic.
The second endeavor consists of embassy staff and their families volunteering their time to work with local children on Sunday, July 18 (Mandela Day) and on Monday, July 19. For Sunday's event, volunteers will participate in one of the several volunteer projects organized through Cheesekids for Humanity, an organization run by Shaka Sisulu [grandson of Walter Sisulu, a much-admired anti-apartheid activist and member of the African National Congress (ANC)]. On Monday, 28 embassy employees will give their time at three U.S. government supported organizations: Moepathutse Children's Center, Child Welfare Tshwane, and the Mae Jemison U.S. Science Reading Room.
More information on the groups we have partnered with:Cheesekids for Humanity ("Cheesekids") is a youth-oriented community service platform, encouraging young South Africans of privilege to individually contribute regularly to the upliftment and empowerment of our more marginalised communities. Its
Child Welfare Tshwane is supported by funding from the U.S. Government. The organization is ninety-two years old and has seven community-based service sites (Atteridgeville, Mamelodi, Eersterust, Olievenhoutbosch, Centurion, Elandspoort, Pretoria Central). Beneficiaries of services are mainly orphaned and vulnerable children and families in need of social, emotional and financial support.
Moepathutse Children's Center was established in 2006 to assist orphaned and abandoned children. The center provides shelter, a nutritional diet, psychosocial care, healthcare and access to education. The center recives funds from our Community Grants program.
The Mae Jemison U.S. Science Reading Room is a U.S.-focused science library and program venue specializing in outreach to secondary school students in Mamelodi. Situated on the Mamelodi campus of the University of Pretoria, Jemison is a partnership between the U.S. Embassy Pretoria Office of Public Diplomacy and the University of Pretoria. It aims to improve science and math education results for students in the local community, as well as teaching computer literacy, English skills and interest in the United States.
Two Sisters is an established care center for children orphaned through the AIDS pandemic. When a parent passes away, the organization works with the local traditional affairs office and the municipality to transfer the property into the names of the children. At the same time, Two Sisters identifies a suitable foster parent, preferably a family member to care for the children. Two Sisters provides the main meal of the day as well as all medical care, school uniforms and fees and sees to it that the children are well cared for in the foster homes.

Finally… on a few counts. Finally I'm writing. Finally, things are getting achieved around here!
Back in July last year, I blogged about the dining room being cleared out. But I had so much more to do than just that room. Much of the stuff ended up in this room below….
Ok, so this is not how the room looked at all times – this was taken in the middle of the sorting and moving. I was actually able to move around in there….
The next photo shows more accurately how my room was 90% of the time. It was still a crazy mess.
So I bought some flat packed shelving units and got busy assembling!
…and voila! Here it is!
Jars and boxes and tins of goodies!
All organised and sorted and cupboards shifted
And supplies sorted through, many sold at our garage sale and many donated because I was just too tired to list them on Etsy!
I actually enjoy walking in this room now. The home is coming together nicely. We've got lots more work to do, but have done so much these past couple of months!
Until next time, and I promise that won't be in a month this time!

About the Author: David T. Killion serves as U.S. Permanent Representative to UNESCO.
I can't think of a better location than Amman for a unique international museum celebrating the work of women artists from around the world. That's the reason I recently spent a fascinating weekend in Jordan joining a delegation of the International Museum for Women in the Arts (IMWA) Board of Directors for an audience with Her Majesty, Queen Rania, at the Royal Palace to discuss the museum project. This IMWA Board seeks to create a world-class museum celebrating the genius of women artists from around the world.
During these historic days when citizens are defining the future of their countries through peaceful protests, I am reminded of the power of the freedom of expression. Never has it seemed timelier to establish an international gathering place for women in the arts which will serve as a cultural and educational center -- to showcase the art of women from around the world, with a special focus on the Middle East. To jump-start this effort, Queen Rania generously offered a fantastic site in the center of Amman to house the new museum, and expressed her support for the project, as well as its importance to help empower women through art and expression and to bring cultures together from around the world. Secretary Clinton has expressed support for bringing UNESCO's priorities to life in furthering culture, education, capacity-building, and gender equality -- all in celebration of the incredible contribution of the world's great women artists. For me, this is an exciting project that brings together so many elements of our work to improve intercultural dialogue, help advance freedom of expression, and empower women in the region and globally. To advance these goals, we will work to formally associate this project with UNESCO at the Spring Executive Board meeting, which would create the first such UNESCO art museum.
As we celebrate International Women's Day in the weeks ahead, we will strive to build partnerships to secure support to renovate the building, and move the project forward, with an anticipated launch in 2013. As women play vital leadership roles in our communities, we would be remiss not to establish a vibrant international center, which will encourage youth through featured artistic works of women. We are committed to reach out to every nation to educate and inspire the young artists of tomorrow using cutting-edge technology in order to foster peace and cultural dialogue through art and free expression. Will you join us?

About the Author: Ambassador Gaddi H. Vasquez is the 8th U.S. Representative to the United Nations Organizations in Rome.
Around the port city of Cartegena today I traveled in and out of poor neighborhoods that would make even the most optimistic person despair. Urban slums with precarious living conditions: putrid water seeping down crevice-filled dirt roads and pooling in front of makeshift houses without windows, donkeys attached to carts, young kids in their underwear standing in doorways. A place called home for the displaced of Colombia and for many of its Afro-descendants.
Families on the run who are drawn to these quarters find few if any social services. The group of Latin American reporters accompanying me on this trip and I were deeply moved by this reality and by the work of an 80-year-old Belgian nun who helps to keep women and children of Barrio Nelson Mandela from slipping through the cracks. An education in nutrition is what Sister Ines and her staff offer the young mothers, some in their early teens. With food from the United States delivered through the World Food Program, medical practitioners welcome mothers to the clinic to teach them how to provide the necessary care to their newborns to keep them alive and well.
Education comes in the form of useful training at the Minuto de Dios Corporation's vocational center supported through a World Food Program food-for-training initiative. I was impressed by students engaged in an array of programs the center offers, from the art of hair dressing to Baking 101. The students learn skills that they can apply immediately in the local market.
Due to such excellent training programs, even in these cramped neighborhoods, entrepreneurship is taking root. Today I witnessed a community in San Basilio de Palenque, a UNESCO cultural heritage site recognized for its strong ancestral ties to Africa, working together to create a village micro-enterprise of production and marketing of traditional sweets. They compete for funds provided by the UN's International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). My group also spent time learning how two young displaced men transformed their lives through small businesses. One has built a thriving sausage factory with twelve employees out of a one-man, backyard production operation. The other operates a mini-market in Barrio Olaya Herrera. These examples showed us how the displaced, through emergency humanitarian assistance, are lending a hand to their neighbors who have even greater needs.
Tomorrow we travel to Bogotá, Colombia's capital, for a stop in Soacha, the neighborhood that receives the highest number of displaced in the country. Hasta manana.

Sleepy Eye Public flattens Truman
TRUMAN – Both the Truman and the Sleepy Eye Public girls basketball teams were without their top players due to injury on Thursday night in Truman.
For the Indians, 6-foot freshman Josie Schieffert and sophomore point guard Justine Gonzalez each stepped up and delivered 17 points to propel the visitors to a 61-24 nonconference victory over the Bluejays.
"Our top center was out tonight. She usually gives us 17 (points) and 12 (rebounds). I've been trying to work the two of them in our offense together this season, but Josie did a good job tonight," said Sleepy Eye Public head coach Ryan Hulke.
Likewise for Truman, junior Emily Zaharia was out with a concussion.
"Emily was saying that she felt better, but just to be on the safe side, we'll keep her out until Monday," said Truman mentor Bruce Hartwig. "I think the girls were shell-shocked a little out there, playing without her, but we've got another game (tonight)."
Brooke McDonald scored four of her team-high 10 points in part of a double-double performance for Truman, while grabbing 14 boards. McDonald generated her first points on back-to-back layups with just over 8 minutes to play in the opening half to cut the Indians initial lead to 14-9.
Unfortunately for the Bluejays, McKayla Alhrich grabbed eight of 24 first-half rebounds for the Indians to limit their offensive chances.
"We had too many one-and-done possessions, they out-rebounded us. And even though we had good shots, they just didn't fall," said Hartwig.
Cleo Maloney made one of her five first-half steals, leading to an easy layup with 30 seconds remaining in the opening frame to make it 26-15.
Alhrich responded with a quick 3-pointer from the top of the key that rolled in at the buzzer to make it 29-15 in the Indians' favor at half.
Maloney picked up where she left off for Truman, making two steals and using them for a pair of quick baskets to open the scoring.
After pressuring the Indians' inbounds pass, Maloney passed across the lane to a cutting McDonald for the first basket, before Briannia Pearson hit a runner on a pass following Maloney's second steal to make it 36-19.
Schieffert's offense helped the Indians maintain and increase their lead early though, scoring nine of her 17 points, while Gonzalez made eight of her 17 tallies in the opening minutes of the second half.
The Bluejays made only 9 of 70 from the floor, scoring just nine points in the second half.
"Gonzalez is a good and quick guard, she does a good job of running their offense and moving the ball," said Hartwig. "We were too slow on defense and reached too much. They got to the foul line and converted, which didn't help."
The Indians made 12 of 19 from the charity stripe in the game, while the Bluejays netted just 5 of 13 free tosses.
Maloney finished with six points for the Bluejays, while Elizabeth Kotwea grabbed five boards.
Along with Gonzalez and Schieffert's17 points each, the Indians had Ahlrich finish with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Schieffert also finished with eight rebounds and Kaylee Hillmer finished with nine for the Indians.
Truman (1-17, 1-9 Valley) travels to Cleveland for a 7:30 p.m. conference game today, while Sleepy Eye Public (6-11) travels to Wabasso for a 7:30 p.m. game today.

Kayla Lardy generated a double-double performance of 16 points and 10 rebounds to top the Cardinals, while teammate Alex Christianson registered 12 points and three steals.
Sierra Schultz netted eight points and three assists, Tracy Thiesse scored seven points, Courtney Mosloski delivered five points and six rebounds, while Kristen Campe added five points to Fairmont's effort.
The Cardinals made 22 of 59 shots from 2-point range, 2 of 5 from behind the 3-point line and 5 of 8 at the free throw line.

Martin County West 59, Windom 57 – The Mavericks had three scorers in double figures as they outlasted the Eagles 59-57 in a nonconference girls basketball action on Thursday in Trimont.

text: David Hall: The 1942 was the first Washington quarter to have a mintage of over 100,000,000 coins. Perhaps this dampened the enthusiasm of dealers and collectors of the era to save this coin as the 1942 is actually a bit of a sleeper in Gem condition. And I remember back in the "BU roll" days of the 1960s and 1970s that this wasn't exactly an easy uncirculated roll to find. This coin is scarcer in Gem condition than most of the other Washington quarter issues of this time period. But when found, Gem examples can be fully lustrous and quite nice.

Review Details
AX-Lightness Universal SkewersProduct Review (submitted on March 17, 2010):
These skewers are an excellent way to maximize the $/gram to drop weight off a bike. I use them now on my daily rider bike. They clamp with strong force and have very ample (more than adequate) lever size and shape. The AX rear shaft may require a little shaving to shorten the ti axle. AX hit a home run on this one. The AXs are even lighter than KCNC skewers and are more substantial in the lever. The carbon-ti (and tune) levers are a joke in the lever shape and size department and didn't last more than one ride on my bike. Since the AX skewers are light, strong and even come in colors, they are a definite buy in my book.

(Updated: April 13, 1:06 p.m. Byline updated to include both authors' names.)
Dear President Bollinger and Provost Coatsworth,
We are writing as colleagues, current and former students of professors Kim Hopper and Carole Vance, and concerned Columbia alumni to express our extreme displeasure at the termination of these outstanding long-term professors at the Mailman School of Public Health. We are equally concerned about the way these terminations seem to signal a larger trend of devaluing teaching and mentoring at Mailman.
[Related: Faculty layoffs at Mailman are bellwether for academic corporatization]
We are surprised and disappointed by your failure to respond to our concerns about this matter. On Jan. 23 and 30, University Provost John Coatsworth received letters signed by over 60 highly prominent academic colleagues of professors Hopper and Vance, requesting his intervention in this matter. Since that time, you have also received many letters, phone calls, and emails from professors, alumni, representatives from nongovernmental organizations, and students from around the world who have used Hopper's and Vance's research in their work on poverty, homelessness, trafficking, and gender and sexual rights. Many of these communications have also been conveyed to University President Lee Bollinger, Dean of Mailman Linda Fried, and other Columbia administrators. Finally, we call your attention to the hundreds of signatures on petitions that call for the reinstatement of these scholars. These petitions are being delivered in hard copy to your offices and may be viewed online.
We will not repeat here in detail the extraordinary contributions of these scholars, because they have been amply documented in the communications previously delivered to you. Suffice it to say, both are internationally respected, trailblazing medical anthropologists, and models of the publicly engaged intellectual. Vance, for example, has received two major awards (the Simon and Gagnon award and the Kessler award) for career contributions to the field of sexuality studies. And Hopper, past president of the National Coalition on the Homeless, was recently described in an American Anthropologist article as "a model for all of us in his dedication to collaboration, systematic research, and careful writing." Hopper and Vance have each given more than 25 years of dedicated service to the department of sociomedical sciences, in which they have been central to the design and operation of certificate programs as well as Mailman's core curriculum, and they taught and advised a huge number of master's and doctoral students. Disrespecting long-standing members of the Columbia community with such summary dismissals is shocking to us, and it goes against the values that the University professes. Moreover, the notion that eliminating these effective and experienced faculty members will be a money-saving move is frankly ludicrous. Moving their salaries off the department's balance sheet doesn't solve the problem of paying for the work that they do—work that can only be performed by experienced faculty members.
[Related: Mailman faculty, students say they're locked out of funding conversation]
We are gravely disappointed by the months of silence on the part of the institution. Your silence and these dismissals call into question Columbia's commitment to academic innovation and teaching excellence, which opens the question: What is the administration's vision for the future of the University? Will Columbia continue to fire its most popular and dedicated professors, while expanding degree programs so that an increasing number of master's students can serve as economic engines for University expansion?
We would find this vision reprehensible for both our community and our students. We would appreciate the courtesy of a response. We are not going away, as the issue is too serious. It calls into question Columbia's commitment to academic excellence, which is the cornerstone of our pride in the community we have helped build as faculty, students, and alumni of Columbia.

What's that smell? Clean, fresh air
March 27, 2006
The smell of money is not for everyone. And so some area dairy owners are adding technologically enhanced bacterial cultures to their lagoons in efforts to diminish odors.
Doug Idsinga, owner of Crosswinds Dairy about 15 miles northeast of Portales on Highway 202, has been adding a bacterial product called Roetech-106 to a large lagoon at his dairy. He began adding the bacterial cultures last summer and claims they have greatly reduced the smells associated with cattle.
The product is processed and sent all over the country by a Connecticut company, Roebik.
"The smell used to be really bad. It smelled like a sewage plant out here," Idsinga said. "We used to have to hold our noses. Now, you can hardly smell it at all."
Doug White of High Country Enterprises in La Veta, Colo., distributes Roetech-106 in the Portales and Clovis area. He said 13 dairies in the Portales-Clovis area use the product.
"This product does several things," White said. "It reduces nitrates in the cow manure to pure nitrogen. Nitrates cause toxicity in plants and topsoil. Nitrogen is fertilizer. Changing the nitrates to pure nitrogen allows dairy farmers to apply their lagoon water on their farm crops rather than using harsh chemical forms of nitrogen."
White said the bacterial cultures break down the gases from cow manure that produce odors.
"Ammonia sulfide and hydrogen sulfide produce the bad smell," White said. "This bacteria produces an enzyme that changes those odorous gases into harmless non-odorous gases."
Loretta Heavyside who owns Greenfield Park Dairy, about two miles west of Crosswinds, said she has looked into similar products, but found them too costly.
"I'm not familiar with that product, but usually that has been the case when we've investigated," Heavyside said. "But also, we usually don't have much water in our lagoons — only when it rains."
And, Heavyside said, dairy smells have multiple sources, not just lagoons. "Most of the smell comes from water on the animal skin, not necessarily from the standing water," she said.
High Country Enterprises distributes Roetech-106 to area farmers at $300 for a 50-pound drum. Idsinga said he adds about a pound of the product per week to the lagoon at his dairy farm.
One of Idsinga's employees, Roy Tarango, said the smell has greatly improved since Crosswinds started adding Roetech-106 to the dairy's lagoon.
"I live here and work here, and now you can't smell it anymore," said Tarango. "We've gotten lots of compliments from people who live in the area."
White said Roetech-106 creates 100 percent organic compounds, so area residents don't have to worry about hazardous chemicals resulting from the addition of the bacteria to the dairy lagoons.
"It's completely environmentally friendly," he said.

Dry SKin Cream
Posted by Reviewer2505659 on Dec 10, 2009
I do like Aubrey Products but don't feel this cream is enough for my face. I would need another product with it.
The Best Moisturizing Cream EVER
Posted by Reviewer1815879 on Mar 04, 2010
This is the best moisturizing cream I have ever used. I have very dry skin and during the winter, my skin flakes constantly. I haven't had more than a few random flakes since I started using this. I also takes very little to get good coverage. It's really amazing. I highly recommend it! Finally I found something that works in the winter!
very good
Posted by Reviewer3076129 on Aug 30, 2010
The product is wonderful, but it is too moisturizing for my skin for the summer. It should be great for the winter months. My skin felt so moisturized and soft the next morning. Dry skin ladies will love it!
Posted by PinkOveralls on Feb 25, 2009
This moisturizing cream did what other lotions have failed to do for me -- treat some very dry, cracked skin on my fingers. It really helped the healing. It's thick, rich, and has a pleasant honey/almond scent that doesn't linger longer than you want.
Great for dry skin
Posted by Reviewer2104723 on Oct 12, 2010
I have been using this product daily for 4 years now and have found that it gives me NO problems with allergies that have appeared in my senior years. It also is very light and I find that when I wash my face there is much less build-up to wash off. Of course, a little goes a long way. I love the soft scent.
This product saved my legs!
Posted by quakerorts on Sep 11, 2011
I was suffering from eczema on my lower legs for several years. I tried many different creams and oils, which kept in in check but never 100%. I finally went to a doctor who gave me two prescriptions, one steroid ointment and one cream. Both were $50 each. It greatly improved my legs but I didn't want to keep using these unnatural products, especially since they didn't 100% solve my problem. My fiancee had a bottle of this Rosa Mosqueta cream, so I tried it. I immediately noticed a difference and today my legs are 100% clear! You use very little of this cream so $13 a bottle is a bargain. I sure hope they never stop making this!
Mostly good but.......
Posted by Reviewer1426361 on Sep 25, 2010
leaves my face sticky instead of smooth, even many hours later. I do like the smell, texture, consistency, etc. just not the stickiness. I'll look for another product next time.
Nice cream
Posted by Reviewer1728405 on Jan 01, 2010
This is a nice cream, but it is not really nourishing, so not my first choice for dry skin issues. I find the scent somewhat overwhelming.
scent too strong
Posted by Reviewer2512494 on May 06, 2010
I ordered this on the strength of reviews and the aubrey organics reputation. Was very disappointed mainly because of the super strong scent -- i didn't expect it to be so perfume-y. It bothers my nose so much I can't use it.
Love lost.
Posted by Reviewer2505428 on Jan 05, 2013
Aubrey Organics lotions and conditioners are no longer the same and I do not like the change. I would rather have paid more for the original ingredients. It's heartbreaking to have my favorite products no longer the same.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton issued a statement on U.S. commitment to the complete destruction of U.S. chemical weapons on October 3, 2011. Secretary Clinton said:
"At the end of the Cold War, the United States joined together with other nations in the Chemical Weapons Convention to state in unequivocal terms that we will end our chemical weapons programs and destroy existing stockpiles, precursor chemicals, production facilities and weapons delivery systems. The United States is committed to the complete elimination of chemical weapons stockpiles in the United States and around the world. To date, we have already destroyed 89 percent of our original chemical weapons stockpile. We reaffirm our commitment to finish the job as quickly as possible in accordance with national and treaty requirements that ensure the safety of people and the protection of the environment.
"As of today, 188 countries have joined the international community and renounced chemical weapons. Under international verification, stockpiles and production facilities are steadily being eliminated. The United States will continue to cooperate closely with the other member states of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and work toward complete elimination in the United States and around the world. The international community must continue to speak with one voice and remain vigilant, so these weapons pose no threat to people here or anywhere."
