You are herecontent / Campaign for Gaza: We need your help
Campaign for Gaza: We need your help
1b Waterlow Road, London N19 5NJ
Newsletter #1261. 21 November 2012

1) Campaign for Gaza: We need your help
2) Gaza: as the carnage escalates so do the protests
At the time of writing the death toll in Gaza from Israel' brual assault was approaching 140, with at least 30 of them children. Close to 1000 people have been injured and hospitals are running out space and supplies. 1500 buildings have been hit by Israeli airstrikes. (See Fact Sheet: Grim statistics behind Gaza grief: http://bit.ly/Q7MtDG)
The global protests against Israel's endless barbarity has spread to hundreds of towns and cities, with many planning major demonstrations this weekend, like the national demonstration in London on Saturday 24 November (See: http://bit.ly/UzD4Br).
In Britain, emergency meetings have been held across the country and plans made for transport to bring protesters from outside London to Saturday's demonstration (see http://bit.ly/10seyYw).
Examples of spontaneous action in solidarity with Gaza has seen students walk out of a Leeds school and students at SOAS in London occupy their university (see http://bit.ly/QunPhZ) .
The need for the national demonstration in London to be as large as possible was never clearer. First, to join the worldwide demand that Israel stop its war on Gaza and end its five year siege, which has brought such suffering to 1.7 million people. Second, to show the UK government that its support for Israel's assault on Gaza is not in our name. And most importantly, alongside all the other protests this weekend, to send a message to the people of Gaza under such horrific attack, that they are not alone.
Please join the demonstration, which assembles at Downing Street at 12noon, if you can, and encourage everyone you know to join us. And please use every means you can to publicise the demonstration as widely as possible -- where you live, work, study etc.
Called by Stop the War, Palestine Solidarity Campaign, CND, BMI. Supported by many other organisations.
For more details and updates, SEE: http://bit.ly/UzD4Br
3) Gaza demo 24 November: Transport from across UK
Transport is being organised across the country to bring people from outside London to Saturday's national demonstration. see http://bit.ly/10seyYw
The transport list is updated regularly as we get details. If you are organising transport in your area, please ensure that you give the details to the Stop the War office so we can publicise them on our website: email email@example.com or call 0207 561 9311
4) Volunteers needed for Gaza campaign
Stop the War needs volunteers to help the stewarding of the demonstration on Saturday. We also need volunteers to help in our national office, making placards, distributing leaflets for Saturday, doing mailouts to our supporters. If you would like to be a steward on Saturday or help in our office during the week, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 0207 561 9311
5) Grotesque inversion of reality that makes Israel the victim
The media coverage of Gaza has been an outrage -- with the BBC most supine -- for the most part acting as a stenographer for the Israeli propaganda machine. One columnist in the mainstream media who can be relied on to portray reality is The Guardian's Seumas Milne. His latest article is a must-read. SEE It's Palestinians who have have the right to defend themselves: http://bit.ly/Ujes27
The Stop the War website, which is getting tens of thousands of visitors every day, is updated regularly with news and comment about Gaza. For alerts when we post new articles on the website, join us on Twitter (http://bit.ly/yyKSFa) or Facebook (http://on.fb.me/hLUFGt).

Residents on Valley Drive say they're living in fear of getting shot
Residents concerned about proposal to approve hunting in area
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - Residents in one part of Dona Ana County say they're living in fear of getting shot. It's because of people hunting along the nearby Rio Grande.
Residents are afraid it's going to get worse.
A federal agency is proposing making hunting legal in that area.
"It's scary to think if we're out early in the morning or late at night that we're going to be dodging gunfire," said Melinda Lujan-Severns.
Surrounded by mountains and pecan orchards, Lujan-Severns said she loves her home of eight years. Incidents in the last year and a half have made her question her family's safety.
"The bullet which I have in my hand came in through this way and then it ricocheted and it came through our garage door," Lujan-Severns told ABC-7.
That wasn't the only bullet to hit her house.
"You can see from here where one of the bullets ricocheted off of this wall," Lujan-Severns said.
Despite that, the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC) is looking at making hunting in the area legal.
"We were approached by interest groups in southern New Mexico who are interested," said Salley Spener, a spokeswoman for the IBWC.
The proposal would allow hunting along the banks of the Rio Grande from Shalem Colony Trail to the Leasburg Dam State Park.
State law prohibits shooting within 150 yards of inhabited buildings, but residents don't think that will stop hunters.
"It's not a matter of if anymore. It's going to happen. One of these days one of us is going to get shot," said Linda Duval, another resident in the area.
"We want to reassure people this isn't just open season, if you will, for use of firearms along the Rio Grande," Spener said.
Residents still imagine the worst.
"There's going to be even more gunfire, more shots, more target shooting," Lujan-Severns said.
The IBWC is taking public comment on the proposal until Aug. 23. You can mail comments to Elizabeth Verdecchia, Natural Resources Specialist USIBWC at 4171 N. Mesa, C-100 El Paso, TX 79902 or e-mail comments to email@example.com

A man charged with an alleged attack that left a man in his 50s hospitalised for over a week called police and said the victim needed to be taken to the police cells to "think about what he had done", a court has heard.
Agatupu Samu, 27, pleaded not guilty to wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm in relation to the incident when he appeared at Napier District Court today to stand trial.
The alleged attack took place on June 29 last year on the seafront near the sunken gardens in Napier and left the victim with broken ribs, a punctured lung, a puncture wound to his hip, a ruptured spleen that was eventually removed, a broken finger and a number of cuts and bruises.
The court heard that the victim spent over a week in hospital.
Crown prosecutor Clayton Walker also told the court how the accused, Samu, made the initial emergency call to police and suggested the victim needed to be taken to the police cells to "think about what he had done".
Mr Walker said the victim had been drinking sitting on a grassy part of the seafront on the evening of the attack.
Samu had approached the victim and spent some time sitting with him throughout the course of the evening.
The court heard that Samu then left the victim to go and call a taxi, something he subsequently did twice further.
On every occasion that he called a taxi, Samu said he could not get the victim to move and the taxis left.
At 9.10pm he made an emergency call and asked for the number of a taxi, this was provided to him by an operator. He then called 111 again at 10.20pm to tell police of an assault. Mr Walker said he did not immediately request an ambulance but instead talked about the victim being drunk, angry and violent. He also said the victim had hit him.
The trial has been set down for three days, with the jury expected to retire on Wednesday.

Olivier Azam, a Grand Slam medal in his pocket and La Marseillaise still ringing in his ears, returns to Gloucester today demanding an apology from Rob Andrew.
After the jubilation of sharing in the first Six Nations' clean sweep on his championship debut, France's substitute hooker will now consult his club on what he regards as unfinished business with Newcastle. This concerns the race allegations behind their volatile Premier-ship match at Kingsholm last Christmas.
Azam, whose appearance for the last six minutes of the imperious 44-5 dismissal of Ireland entitled him to his golden gong, says he will consider pursuing a libel action against Andrew unless Newcastle's outspoken manager issues a public apology for alleging that the Frenchman racially abused the Tyneside club's flanker, Epi Taione.
Speaking on the controversy for the first time since being acquitted by the RFU after a nine-week inquiry, Azam said: 'If Andrew says he is sorry, then I will be happy and that will be the end of the matter. This has been the worst experience of my life.
'My reputation has been damaged. It is not good because rugby is a professional sport and we depend on sponsorship. I am pleased with the outcome of the inquiry but I have to discuss it now with the club to see what they advise.
'I can understand maybe that what Andrew said at the time was said because he was very angry. But I cannot understand why he then repeated it over a period of many weeks. That's what I am not happy about.
'I lost five weeks of work because of what happened that day. For me, it was a big story which cost me a lot of money. I spoke with Epi Taione after we gave evidence at the inquiry.
'We had a chat for five or 10 minutes and there is no problem between us. I'm not interested in speaking to Mr Andrew. All I want is for him to say he is sorry through the newspaper.'
Ireland could also do worse than say the same. The magnitude of Saturday's defeat left them no option - especially as France achieved it despite throttling back for long stretches of the second half.
Just when everyone, especially the Irish, thought their team had risen above this sort of thing, they were given a roasting of Welsh proportions. Another record beating, another no-contest offered disturbing confirmation based on the evidence of the last nine weeks that the Six Nations is a two-horse race with the rest nowhere.
Ireland's Keith Wood said: 'There was only one word for their rugby - irresistible. They've always been capable of being brilliant for 20 minutes and then they'd do something off-the-wall. Not any more.'
Quite so, but the manner of the French rout contained further material of a disturbing nature. They were terrific but only for as long as they needed to be. Had they been goaded into keeping their foot on the accelerator, France would have reached 70.
The Irish were mighty thankful to Brian O'Driscoll's heroics in preventing at least two more tries. It is not inaccurate to argue that a trio of French players, Olivier Magne and two helpers, were in more danger of busting a gut trying to uncork a jeroboam of champagne in the dressing room than at any time during the match. The biggest French hero of all refused all invitations to cavort round the pitch to the theme of Star Wars. Bernard Laporte has transformed his team from a national joke into the best in Europe, better than England - and that really is saying something.
What sets him apart from other French coaches, is that before he changed the results, he changed the worst habits of a lifetime. For all their fitful brilliance down the decades, the French would often self-destruct because successive teams were flawed by fragile temperament.
Laporte held his nerve until his players learned to keep theirs without setting off an avalanche of penalties. But they have not achieved it without help of South African tighthead Pieter de Villiers and the New Zealand Maori centre Tony Marsh.
Rejuvenated by the discovery of the bounding Basque Imanol Harinordoquy at No.8 and Damien Traille at outside centre, they will be better equipped to win next year's World Cup than ever before.
France have won three Slams in five years and Magne, their flanker who will now consider offers to join the English Premiership next season, has played in all three. What England would give for just one.

Upon assuming power in May, the United Kingdom's historic coalition government set in motion three exercises that collectively aimed to reshape British foreign policy. Taken together, the new National Security Strategy (NSS), the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) and the Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR), seek to lay down the bounds of Britain's future role in the world, articulate Britain's national interests, establish the goals of policy and set the means by which to achieve them.

Looking forward to a review! I've considered picking up a repro scope or two, for hard use. I saw these, but wasn't sure what to think of them. So, I'm anxious to see your results, especially with the scope, itself.
Got this in the mail yesterday, In the past the Firefield scopes looked more like SVT scopes but this looks just like a PU scope, no maker marks on the scope but the optics look clear, has the correct 53.5 mm hole spacing on the mount, the mount is cast steel and comes with screws and pins and of course is all made in China. I bought this from Sportsman's Guide for $134 and I guess the real test will be to see how it holds up under use. Perhaps the Chinese could start cranking out T-53s again?
Looking forward to a review! I've considered picking up a repro scope or two, for hard use. I saw these, but wasn't sure what to think of them. So, I'm anxious to see your results, especially with the scope, itself.
I have a quality PU repro scope made in Russia from Westrifle in Canada, as well as one from Accumount.
The Chinese ones seem somehow to just be wrong for rescoping real ex-snipers, but that's just my view -sort of like putting a Chinese scope on a Garand.
The rifle will have an Accumounts mount with the scope shown above, if it fails I can always get one of the more pricey repros, the Chinese after all, made many Mosins so I don't think it's that much of a stretch.
Well, since you have an Accumounts base, I can't complain in the least as I have put those on myself.
I too would like to know how it holds up (review?)
Still having the bolt bent, so will be a little while longer before I head to the range with it. Am going with a Max Shepard bolt.
I'm also anxiously waiting for a review.
Anyone know if that firefield PU scope could fit on the M40 Tokarev scope mount sold by Numrich?
The earlier Firefield scoops looked like SVT scopes, the newer ones look like straight PU scopes, The locking screws are a joke, very small, although the regular mounting screws seem fine, they are coarse thread. If working with this mount and pinning it you have to purchase at least one set of screws and pins from Accumounts, since the kit comes with one very short pin and one normal length pin. Would advise using the longer pin provided for the front of the mount and getting another longer pin for the rear of the mount. And if you buy the screw and pin set you can have normal looking locking screws.
OK, the mounting is complete. These scopes and mounts can be used with the Fairfield base supplied (screws are coarse thread 6.0 x 1) or the Accumounts base. Whatever base you use you will have to use their screws, the threads on the locking screws are incompatible. The scope has a slightly smaller diameter than other ones so if you want to use a different mount you will need something to take up the space in between the scope and the mount. The optics on the scope are incredibly clear and bright, will get to the range sometime this week and post again.
I purchaced one of these scopes and im unable to lock the windage and elevation knobs by tightening the screws on top. Have you had this problem with yours? Because mine one I get it sighted in there is no way that I know of to keep the knobs from turning
I was under the impression that there was no way to "lock" the adjustments on any PU scope. That said, am waiting for my bent bolt to come back before I can try it.
Any word on the range report of the scope. I'm new here but am thinking of getting this set for my nagant to build a sniper clone..
I just looked thru one my buddy mounted for a customer at his shop. I watched the crosshairs as he moved the windage knob and they seemed to move in an arc somewhat resembling a speedometer hand. Cant imagine trying to zero one of these things. Your mileage may vary but no thanks Ive seen enough. They arent in the Belarus- Russian clones class.
Well nothing really has been posted yet on whether a yay or nay so i ordered one and i'll mount it up and see what is does. I know i got a good shooter to start with so i'll add the scope and try and post a range report with pics.

The recent Earth Day celebration brought a slew of often-conflicting reports on consumers' environmental or green attitudes and behavior, such as "consumers cut spending on green," "green worth paying more for," "Americans hate faux green marketers," and "[Boomers] passionate for green." Green marketing initiatives were also everywhere, from Jet Blue's "One Thing That's Green" pledge to Procter & Gamble's "My Carbon Footprint" app and Target's eco-conscious "Refresh Your Nest" home makeover sweepstakes. Faced with this barrage of information and activities, many marketing leaders will be asking themselves what this means for their brand. Should they bide their time until the dust settles, or jump in? What about the risks of green-washing? Do consumers really care about the environment, or is it just something that they think they should care about? In truth, there is no one answer, because green marketing and green consumer behavior is changing rapidly. That being said, the expectation for companies to be more sustainable, from consumers and CEOs alike, is not going anywhere. So marketing leaders need to figure out what level of green engagement is right for their brand and their consumer.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
StaplesQuincy, Illinois USA
Staples is a ripoff with ink cartridge recycling rewards Quincy Illinois
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
On 7/31/13 I dropped of 12 ink cartridges for recycling and checked my account online to see if my rewards had been posted. The were to pay $2 for the first ten cartridges and .20 for any subsequent cartridges. They hadn't account showed zero. I sent a message to Staples on Facebook, to no avail. I was told program has changed and I will not be honored with rewards payment. Needless to say, I was not aware program had changed since last usage of Jan 2013.
Neither was I notified by the sales clerk that took my ink cartridges, nor did I see any signage in the store reflecting this change. I asked for the return of my cartridges since they would not honor the rewards payment and was told, sorry for your inconvenience. I was ripped off by Staples for $20.20. I know this seems like nothing to most, but think about how many people they are doing this to? I had no intentions of "donating" the ink cartridges to them. They would not even offer me a reasonable solution.
This report was posted on Ripoff Report on 08/02/2013 08:41 AM and is a permanent record located here: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/staples/quincy-illinois-62301/staples-is-a-ripoff-with-ink-cartridge-recycling-rewards-quincy-illinois-1072406.

Yes, I am positive
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 02, 2013POSTED: Friday, August 02, 2013
Yes, I am sure they give $2 for ten cartridges, but that was not my issue. To my understanding from Staples customer service, apparently, since March their program requirements have changed. Now, you have to purchase $30 of ink/toner from Staples before they will honor the rewards redemption. However, since I had not visited the store/website since January & have updated my email, I was not informed of this change. In additon, it would not make any sense for me to waste my time recycling them for 20 cents a piece. They cost too much to let go for 20 cents, I'd rather donate them to the school, instead of just giving them to a big corporation like staples. I had asked for them to return the cartridges, but they told me, "sorry for your inconvenience" & I was not given a reasonable solution on my end. I am the customer & in this case am totally unsatisfied.

#2 Consumer Comment
Are you sure?
SUBMITTED: Friday, August 02, 2013POSTED: Friday, August 02, 2013
Are you sure that it is $2 each for the first 10? I believe it is $2 total for the first 10. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that they would take $0.2 for subsequence cartridge after ten. If it is, the system is easily abusable and that does not make sense for a corporation reward system. For example, I would take 10 to them, and give anything over 10 to my relative to go back and get another... So I don't think it is $20+ for your total loss...

Bad Business: Apple CEO Tim Cook has told global warming skeptics to "get out of this stock." But in essence, he did more than that. He told every Apple shareholder to take a hike and waved potential investors away.
When Cook met with shareholders Friday, he lost his usual business cool when a group proposed that the company be more open about its environmental activism as well as transparent about costs it incurs as it increases its dependence on renewable energy.
"If you want me to do things only for ROI (return on in vestment) reasons, you should get out of this stock," Cook snapped back.
He might think that he's merely brushing off gadflies who aren't sold on climate change. But he's really telling the investment world that anyone interested in making more money from this superstock should stay away.
That's no way to run a business. If a CEO says profit is overrated, he's sending a strong signal to investors about the company's future performance. Investors, by definition, expect a return. They don't put their money in a stock to get a warm feeling from political activism — they want nonpolitical profits.
Who does Cook expect to invest in Apple if he limits shareholders only to those who aren't interested in doing "things only for ROI reasons"?
In what the media described as Cook's blistering response to the representative from the National Center for Public Policy Research, the group that floated the proposal, the CEO played the political correctness card.
He yammered on about wanting "to leave the world better than we found it" and guaranteeing workers everywhere the right to "a safe and fair work environment." Nothing wrong with such goals, per se. But reaching them is not Cook's job. His duty is to run Apple as profitably as possible. It's a business, not a charity.
Under Cook, who succeeded founder Steve Jobs as CEO in 2011, Apple has taken on the global warming bogeyman, roughly tripling its use of renewable energy for its offices to 75%. The goal is to go 100% renewable.
That progression plays well with green groups that consider profit to be evil. But there are costs. Energy prices are highest in the countries whose energy portfolios have the largest shares of renewables.
Spain went green years ago but had to abandon what became a disaster. The New York Times reported last fall that the renewable industry there "is now seen as an unwanted and costly extravagance." Similarly, Germany is now busy walking away from its own disastrous green experiment with renewables.
Government spending on renewables hasn't fared better in the U.S. In fact, it has produced business crashes across the country, the most famous being Solyndra, which alone could cost taxpayers $1 billion.
Comparing costs is enlightening. The U.S. Energy Information Administration says the cost per megawatt-hour of a new natural gas power plant averages $66 while the tab for wind is $96, solar photovoltaic $153 and solar thermal $242.
With costs so high, there can be no doubt that Cook's dabbling in renewables further hurts an Apple bottom line that, as the chart above shows, is already suffering under his stewardship. To serve an activist agenda that costs the company and investors money is a dereliction of his duty.
If Cook and Apple's board, including Al Gore, were doing their jobs, they'd adopt the NCPPR's proposal.

No matter where you are in the summer, Paris, L.A., Tokyo, NYC or right here in the T. Dot, chances are you're feeling the heat! Just this week we've reached temperatures that feel like were in the 40's!
Icky, sticky summer weather can kinda complicate your makeup routine since the last thing you want to do is put makeup on, since you're most likely going to be sweat it off later (trust me, I'm with you on that one!). However, no need to fear I'm here to share some valuable tips! Here are a few different routes I like to take:
1) Cover FX is a great brand that originated at Sunnybrook hospital to help people with sensitive skin conditions such as vitiligo, rosacea and sun damage. They've developed an AMAZING tinted moisturizer with SPF 30! It also includes anti-oxidants which help give your skin a nice finish. It's a bit pricey at $43, but I just recently ran out of my bottle that I purchased at the beginning of LAST summer so it's worth the money!
Available at Shoppers Drug Mart.
2) Smashbox's BB cream is in my opinion the best BB cream that I've tried to date. Smashbox has a wonderful reputation in the makeup world for their awesome photo studios in L.A. and their makeup that has been developed to look picture ready and withstand hot lights. It can be used by itself during the day (SPF 35? Hell yes!) or under a foundation for more coverage.
Available at Shoppers Drug Mart.
3) MAC Face and Body Foundation is great for the summer! This water-based foundation can be worn on its own for sheer coverage or try mixing it with your fave face cream with SPF for a tinted moisturizer created by yourself!
Available at MAC Stores.

Man recovering after coyote attack near Longmont
LONGMONT, Colo. - Wildlife officials say a 22-year-old man is recovering after he was attacked by three coyotes while he was walking to work southwest of Longmont.
Andrew Dickehage tells The Longmont Times-Call he was on his way to the IBM campus in Boulder at about 5 a.m. Monday when he was attacked by the coyotes, which bit and scratched him for more than a minute.
He says the attack "was nonstop. It was so dark all I could see was the glimmer of their eyes."
Dickehage was treated at a Longmont hospital, where he says he received nine shots that included "everything from rabies to tetanus."
Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman Jennifer Churchill tells the Times-Call that officers have killed two of the coyotes involved and are seeking the third.

The frame SN was more than likely stamped on the bottom bracket shell in 1948 before the fire. I believe all the serial numbers were stamped on the individual frame component prior to the frame being built.
I think BobHufford has posted before that someone has started to assemble a pre-fire data base of serial numbers.

Changing economics and consumer tastes have affected the garage door business, but it was the death of its founders that spelled the end for Eckert Door Co.
Eckert Door, owned for 50 years by Robert and Mary Jane Eckert, is out of business, and its site, filled with a sprawling hodge-podge of structures at 6510 W. State St., is likely to be occupied by a trim, square branch of the UW Credit Union.
The Plan Commission unanimously approved a change of zoning and a conditional-use application for the credit union this week.
The site, directly south of Walgreen's, holds one of the last remaining industrial buildings on the north side of State Street. With Metcalfe's Market, the proposed credit union, Carstar auto body shop at 6242 W. State, and the planned arrival of Central Bark doggy day care at 6228 W. State, Grede Foundry is the last remaining manufacturer in that stretch of a quickly diminishing industrial corridor.
A block east of the doggy day care, in The Reserve and The Enclave, reside people who are increasing demand for the retail and customer-service businesses that are arriving. And more potential customers will be coming if a proposed apartment project by Wangard Partners, behind the foundry, is successful.
The credit union expects to break ground in the spring, and be up and running about a year later, said Brad McClain, executive vice president of the Madison-based UW Credit Union.
The end of Eckert Door
Eckert Door specialized in garage doors made of wood, said Brad Hershey, owner of GD Corp., in surburban Chicago, one of Eckert's customers.
"They were around for a long time; that was a family business for a long time," Hershey said.
Robert Eckert died in 2010 at the age of 72, and his wife, Mary Jane, died in March. The business closed shortly thereafter.
At the same time, the market for wooden garage doors has shrunk, Hershey said. Raynor Garage Doors, a major manufacturer, discontinued making wooden doors this month, and Eckert's business was caught up in that trend.
Insulation, low maintenance
"People want high insulation, they want low maintenance; that's what everybody wants," Hershey said. Most doors sold today are galvanized and painted steel, and most have lifetime warranties on the finish against rust or paint problems.
"On the high end, there's still some custom wood doors being made," he said. But keeping a wooden door stained drives up cost, and today, some manufacturers make very convincing wood-looking doors that hold up well.
The company's inventory and equipment has been auctioned off, and the name Eckert and its phone number have been purchased by D&G Garage Doors & Openers, a Milwaukee installer, said Dustin Gerdman, an owner of the company.
Credit union expanding
UW Credit Union is one of the top five credit unions in the state in terms of asset size, and accepts as members those who live or work within five miles of a UW Credit Union branch office, University of Wisconsin System employees, former employees, students and alumni, and family and household members of those members, among a number of other categories, according to its website.
This is the credit union's second branch in Wauwatosa — the other is on Mayfair Road, across the street from Mayfair Mall — and its sixth in the Milwaukee area. There are about two dozen branches in Madison and around the state.
The 5,000-square-foot branch will have drive-through lanes on the back, or north, side, including two ATM lanes, and an ATM inside the front door, McClain said. The credit union's ATMs do not charge a surcharge.
Alderman Dennis McBride, who represents the area, praised McClain for accepting city recommendations for changes to the site plan and the architecture.
"The UW Credit Union has given every indication of wanting to be a good neighbor, to comply with our comprehensive plan and the character of State Street," he said. "I drove by Eckert Door again today and this is going to be about a thousand-percent improvement over the looks of what's down there right now, and a continuing improvement to that part of State Street."

Cost of college: Government push to gauge students' bang for their buck gains steam
Sens. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) and Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) are expected to reintroduce this week legislation that would require states to make more accessible the average salaries of colleges' graduates. The figures could help prospective students compare salaries by college and major to assess the best return on their investment…
High-school seniors now trying to decide which college to attend next fall are awash with information about costs, from dorm rooms to meal plans. But there is almost no easy way to tell what graduates at specific schools earn—or how many found jobs in their chosen field. Supporters say more transparency is needed as students graduate deeper in debt and enter the rocky job market.
The Wyden-Rubio bill doesn't spell out exactly how this information has to be assembled. The goal is that students and parents could use the U.S. Department of Education website to query data from all 50 states. But the bill relies on states to knit together wage data submitted by employers with information on graduates submitted by colleges.

It seems what doanire fans are hoping is for Rigo's chin to not hold up against Donaire's power, cuz thats the only x factor here. If rigo's chin is up to the challenge then donaire is in a wolrd of s
it. I mean it will be streches when Donaire will swing for air and not lay a glove on Rigo. I mean when Vazquez Jr boxed against Donaire he made him look bad for streches, Donaire couldnt lay a decent glove on small as
narvaes. Imagine what rigo can do to this guy.
The notion that Donaire will win and easily is ridiculous and wishful thinking. This is a 50/50 fight, that if both guys play to their strengths it will be very close.
Like I said I got donaire in a close fight because of activoty and Donaire is a smart fighter and knows how to still rounds.
I agree on practically everything. One of the most overused lines on this site is "so-and-so will
so-and-so." This isn't Mike Tyson versus Michael Spinks. These are two excellent, well-matched fighters with similar qualities and some individual strengths of their own. I'm with you: I give the edge to Donaire, but this is practically a 50-50 fight where anything can happen.

I think what you want is called "quadratic programming." It is like
linear programming in that you are looking for a point whose coordinates
satisfy linear inequalities ( and equalities), but you want to minimize
a quadratic function rather than a linear one.
I recently looked for references on linear and quadratic programming.
There are shelves of books on linear programming, but much less on
quadratic programming. Among the books that I consulted, the most
helpful was /Linear/ /Programming/ /and/ /Extensions/ , by George
Dantzig. An oldie but a goodie.

South Main redevelopment should be a priority
Waynesville is a beautiful place to live, work and play, and we want our main corridors into town to reflect that beauty and sense of community.
While North Main Street has been revived into a bustling downtown, South Main Street still needs some work to keep up with the new developments in West Waynesville. The once industrial side of town is now shifting into a retail and service area since Dayco closed and the Waynesville Commons development opened. That development has spurred other new businesses, which is great for our economy, but it has put more demands on our roads and created more traffic congestion.
The Town of Waynesville has done its part by conducting feasibility studies and approving a very detailed and comprehensive redevelopment plan for South Main Street. The plan includes widening the road, adding more turning lanes and green arrow traffic signals, bike lanes, sidewalks and a roundabout at the intersection of Ninevah Road.
The conditions of the roadway as they stand are not safe for higher traffic counts or for pedestrian traffic, according to the redevelopment plan. With more restaurants and retailers opening up in the area, the roadway needs to me more conducive to bikers and pedestrians.
Now the project is in the hands of the North Carolina Department of Transportation, which has limited funding each year for road projects. The South Main Street project is not even funded yet, but residents will have an opportunity to give the DOT engineers input before projects are prioritized.
A redeveloped South Main Street would improve our image to visitors entering town from the West Waynesville exit, it would help attract new businesses and would be an incentive for existing businesses to update their buildings.
We will keep you informed about future public hearing for the project. We encourage residents to be actively involved in the process and let NCDOT know the importance of widening the road and making these improvements. Until these projects can be completed, we hope drivers will be courteous to one another in traffic and keep an eye out for pedestrians crossing the road.

"I was the hit of the class because I duplicated everything so beautifully. Then one day Gerry, my instructor, took me aside and showed me some Cezanne slides. He showed me one painting of a ladder and asked, 'What's wrong with this ladder?'
" 'It doesn't look like it will hold anything,' I answered.
"Then he asked, 'Why do you think he painted it like this?' and I began to understand about the nature of art, how it expresses ideas about things. He told me that since I reproduced everything like a camera, that I should use a camera for future assignments. I started my photography then and never looked back."
Although Mr. Nagatani never had a formal technical photo class, from 1975 to 1983, he "sponged everything photographic," taking photographic theory class and reading everything he could about the technical aspects of photography. In 1983 he realized that he had accumulated quite a bit of knowledge but needed to explore more about its relationship to the art world. He wanted to find photography's place in the art world.
"I create moments. I like photography's ability to do that."
"I had started to establish myself as a colorist in the field. Colored light was perfect in that the fact that the technical methods are the same as a photographer's. Colored light went to the source."
In the same passionate way he pursued his knowledge of the camera, Mr. Nagatani spent years gathering information on chromotherapy. "I found that there were several things I had started and wanted to re-engage with. I had a lot of work I'd never shown. The state of the art with color materials was so amazing and my ability as a color printer got better. I said I've got to pursue this. I had a lot of images in mind with a more sophisticated eye and technical ability."
"I succumbed to the scalpel knife and all the procedural things, so now my own body is subject matter. Chromotherapy is a beautiful, non-invasive possibility for healing that visually excited me."

Most managers would probably say "no," but people often harbor unconscious perceptions that can influence day-to-day decision-making and job reviews of the employees they manage.

To be eligible for FMLA leave, employees have to show more than that they suffer from a serious health condition. They must also show that they can't perform at least one essential job function because they have that condition or are undergoing treatment for it. For employers, that means it's necessary to compare the employee's certification and his job description.
As an HR pro, you probably have to review all employee evaluations as well as records of employee complaints. Keep close tabs on both. Why is that important? Because even an all-star employee can let her performance slip or do something that breaks company rules.
With some people, the problem isn't a matter of ability, it's a matter of attitude. This can manifest itself in everything from quiet disobedience to outright insubordination. How should you respond?

What causes low blood sugar in a cat
My cat was takern to er last nite and they gave a blood transfusion and his count is up and hes eating but his sugar count is still low
Asked by
Member 660382

- This question is closed.
Best Answer
Low blood sugar occurs less commonly than high blood sugar and can be a sign of pancreatic cancer or overwhelming infection (sepsis). Low blood sugar can cause depression or seizures.
Kittens can get low blood sugar more commonly than adult cats. Most instances of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in the kitten are the result of inadequate nutrition; either not enough or poor quality (undigestible) food. Excessive exercise may also cause the body to use up more sugar than is available.
Other causes:
Fasting before vigorous exercise
Excessive insulin administration (may occur in cats with diabetes)
Insulin-producing tumors of the pancreas
Severe liver disease
Other tumors that produce insulin-like factors
Portosystemic shunts
Hereditary diseases arising from abnormal storage of glucose
Serious systemic bacterial infection

If the Indians ever built a statue in honor of former shortstop Omar Vizquel, he envisions it featuring one of his patented barehanded throws.
Close your eyes for a few seconds to envision what it'd look like: Vizquel's right arm raised, cocked back by his side with a baseball gripped in his bare hand destined to end in a spectacular out that often brought fans at Progressive Field to their feet in appreciation for defense at its finest.
Alas, it's former Tribe slugger Jim Thome whose statue will be unveiled at Progressive Field in August - a Vizquel teammate whose stunning home runs had the same effect on Indians fans that Vizquel's slick fielding did.
So for now, Vizquel is happy to be recognized by his former team in another way - during a June 21st induction into the Indians Hall of Fame that will take place six weeks before Thome is honored.
"It's a great piece of history for me to be inducted," Vizquel said Sunday during Tribe Fest at Progressive Field. "When (fans and media) talk about Omar Vizquel, they always relate the Indians to it. I played in Seattle for five years and I played with the (San Francisco) Giants for four years. But I played 11 seasons (in Cleveland) - and this is where I really established myself."
