Zeer centraal gelegen. Zeer goede infrastructuur. Mooi en Britse.
Very centrally located. Very good infrastructure. Nice and british.
We hadden een geweldige reis! geweldige locatie!
We had a great trip ! great location !
Appartement zeer goed gelegen, op 5 minuten lopen van de metro en de aankomst van de Eurostar-station.
Alles ging goed, comfortabel appartement.
Appartement très bien situé, à 5 minutes à pied du métro et de la station d'arrivée de l'Eurostar.
Tout s'est bien passé ; appartement confortable.
De flat is net zoals het geadverteerd. Mijn familie was in de stad om te bezoeken tijdens mijn voorjaarsvakantie en ik wilde een plek enigszins dicht bij mijn school in een centraal deel van Londen. De vlakke nabijheid van King's Cross is geweldig want het is een centraal punt voor meerdere metrolijnen. Er waren 6 van ons in de flat dus het was een beetje krap bij momenten, maar de slaapbank geholpen en ik bracht een luchtbed van huis. De en-suite badkamer is vrij klein, maar met het tweede groter was perfect. De bedden zijn comfortabel en de wasmachine / droger zijn heel handig! Debbie was ook geweldig met communiceren en iedereen was heel glad!
The flat is just as it's advertised. My family was in town to visit during my spring break and I wanted to find a place somewhat close to my school in a central part of London. The flat's proximity to King's Cross is great as it's a central point for multiple tube lines. There were 6 of us at the flat so it was slightly tight at times but the pull-out couch helped and I brought an air mattress from home. The en-suite bathroom is pretty small but having the second larger one was perfect. The beds are comfortable and the washer/dryer are quite convenient! Debbie was also great with communicating and everyone was quite smooth!
Mooi en gezellig appartement gunstig gelegen op 10 minuten lopen van het station King's Cross St. Pancras.
Appartement agréable et confortable très bien situé à 10 mn à pied de la gare King's Cross St Pancras.
Ideal location, really close to St Pancras (Eurostar) and King's Cross (metro) but in a very quiet street, small supermarket nearby. Nice apartment, the bedrooms, the living and the separate bathroom are indeed spacious - only the place to eat breakfast in the kitchen is a bit small for four persons. Friendly and helpful owner!
It's a lovely apartment near King's Cross station. Debbie has been very responsive and helped us with any queries posed. The bedrooms are adequately size and rooms are clean.
The ensuite bathroom is a bit small and the sofa bed is not too comfortable. However overall I would rate the place highly and recommend others.
Had a really great time in this great position apartment. Debbie was very communicative and the flat was well provisioned with lovely linen and bedding.
Debbie's apartment was very cosy. It's very close to Kings Cross station. We were five people and there was enough place for us, although the beds were not that big. We really felt home.
We stayed for 1 week at this location.
Positive aspects were:
- cleanness of the apartment
- good quality of beds
- close to city center, underground and supermarket
- quiet street.
Negative aspects were:
- "bed bench combination" in the living room is a nightmare. During day time you cannot sit on it, during night time you cannot sleep on it. Very poor quality. The owner could have spend some money on this.
- although everything is quite new, the general impression is the owner saved a lot of money on furniture, dish washer, utensils, ...
- move the 2 furniture in the basement to the living room
- parking cost are high, I parked at http://stratfordintl.co.uk/getting-here/cars (UK pounds 25/week); 30 minutes travel to appartment.
- I took into consideration the price (+- Euro 2500/week).
- Kwaliteitsgekeurde accommodatie

With Gov. Tom Corbett having introduced his version of Pennsylvania's budget, Indiana University of Pennsylvania now has a bit of a better handle on its revenue picture for next year, and officials aren't surprised by what they're seeing — a deficit.
Administrators had been projecting one as of last semester, partly on assumptions that the state appropriation would remain unchanged, which is precisely what the governor suggested to the General Assembly last week.
Corbett is proposing to hold the line at about $413 million for the state system, roughly the same amount it received for 1997-98, some 17 years ago, according to state system spokesman Kenn Marshall.
The appropriation is one of the key figures IUP uses to make its revenue forecasts. The others are enrollment, and tuition and fees. Tuition is set by the state system's governing body, which usually makes that decision in the summer. IUP, however, controls its schedule of fees, and it is proposing increases for room and board as well as in a per-credit surcharge.
IUP is expecting to have to fill a $2.6 million budget hole, a figure that is not unworkable, said President Michael Driscoll.
"This is not horrific, but we do need to attend to it," he said.
Driscoll said that while the university is glad the appropriation wasn't cut, an increase, any increase whatsoever, would have been better.
"We do feel we are worthy of more investment," he said.
The last time the state system received an increase in its appropriation was in 2007-08, according to Marshall.
Under the Corbett administration, the state system has seen a significant drop in funding. In his first year in office, he proposed lopping the state system's funding by half (the Legislature approved an 18 percent reduction). In his second year, he proposed a 20 percent reduction, which the Legislature voted against, leaving it unchanged from the year prior.
It's remained there since. And more likely than not, it will remain unchanged from what's now on the table.
"A lot will depend on what revenue collections amount to over the next several months, but it certainly seems unlikely it would go down (from what the governor proposed)," said state Rep. Dave Reed, R-Indiana.
State Sen. Don White, R-Indiana, said there is no more room for the appropriation to go any lower.
"We're down to skin and bones," he said. "I don't know where else the fat is, unless it's in the administration."
White said he does not understand the reluctance to put money back into the state system.
"These are our universities. We set them up, and we don't want to fund them, and I just don't understand."
Nevertheless, he, too, said level funding is still better than a cut.
"I don't have to start from scratch fighting just to get back what we had," said White.
White said he will push for an increase to the appropriation, and he is expected to make that argument in testimony during appropriation hearings in March.
The Association of State College and University Faculties, the union representing professors and coaches at the state system schools, also said it will push for an increase of 8 percent, which works out to around $34.5 million.
"1997 funding levels are insufficient to maintain the mission to provide a high quality education at an affordable cost to students," said Steve Hicks, the union's president, in a statement. "Many campuses are already laying off faculty and staff, increasing class sizes, and curtailing programs. Another year of flat state funding puts additional pressure on PASSHE's board to raise tuition and increase the financial burden on students and their families."

Hip Dysplasia/Pano/Stiffnes - very confused!
Hi everyone,
Just after as much advice as possible.
I have a 7 month old German Shepherd girl, and lately she has seemed a bit stiff after getting up from a sleep.
She was desexed 3 weeks ago, and I have been wondering if she could still be a bit uncomfortable from the procedure or if this is something different. During the procedure the vet checked her hips for me, and she told me they are a little "loose" but that xrays will not be helpful before she is 18 months of age and fully grown. She said her bones and joints are not fully developed yet and that it is common for puppies to be a bit loose in the joints.
I am a bit worried though, and I can not seem to stop obsessing about this..
I am very careful not to exercise my girl too much (mostly off leash exercise, no long walks on concrete etc, and no jumping in/out of the car).
Is it possible to be TOO careful with your puppy? Can they "under-develop" if you take too much care?
She is a very gentle pup, but after the surgery she has become very quiet and not as eager to play anymore. Don't get me wrong, she loves to play and interact with other dogs, but at home she walks around very slowly and she sleeps a lot. She has also gone off her food a bit, she will eat it but is not as excited when I prepare it as she used to be and she eats a little bit then leaves it for awhile then comes back, then leaves it.
This is my first puppy, and I am not sure if all this are normal things and changes when puppies are growing up or if should be worried..
Would like to hear everyone's experience with their puppies, what to look out for and tips in general. Please feel free to ask questions if you need more info. I might even try to post a video, I am not sure how that works since I am new to this site.
Thanks in advance!

PVT George Watson
Jefferson County
Alabama, USA
Mar. 8, 1943, Papua New Guinea
World War II Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient. George Watson joined the Army on September 1, 1942 as a member of the 2nd Battalion, 29th Quartermaster Regiment. On March 8, 1943 Watson was on-board a ship near New Guinea when it was attacked by Japanese bombers. The ship was badly damaged and everyone was ordered overboard. Rather than swimming to safety on one of the life boats, Watson remained in the water assisting others who were unable to swim reach safety. It is believed he drowned when he was unable to get clear of the turbulence when the ship went under the water. His body was never recovered. Shortly after his death he was awarded Distinguished Service Cross, becoming the first African-American to receive that honor in World War II. He was also awarded the Purple Heart. In 1997, after the reports of his actions were reevaluated, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor by President William Clinton. The citation reads: "For extraordinary heroism in action on 8 March 1943. Private Watson was on board a ship which was attacked and hit by enemy bombers. When the ship was abandoned, Private Watson, instead of seeking to save himself, remained in the water assisting several soldiers who could not swim to reach the safety of the raft. This heroic action, which subsequently cost him his life, resulted in the saving of several of his comrades. Weakened by his exertions, he was dragged down by the suction of the sinking ship and was drowned. Private Watson's extraordinarily valorous actions, daring leadership, and self-sacrificing devotion to his fellow-man exemplify the finest traditions of military service."

Scientists have uncovered crucial steps in a grim molecular dance that asphyxiates more than 5,000 people a year in the United States. The research pinpoints a pivotal protein involved in a multi-step process leading to pulmonary fibrosis, an incurable lung inflammation that eventually robs the lungs of their ability to supply oxygen to the blood.
The protein's specific and localized role makes it a prime target for developing a drug to block the severe lung scarring caused by the condition, the scientists conclude.
The research, reported in the February 5 issue of the journal Cell, was led by Dean Sheppard, MD, professor of medicine at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and director of the UCSF Lung Biology Center at San Francisco General Hospital Medical Center.
It has been known for more than a decade that a molecule known as TGF Beta plays an essential role in healing damaged tissue throughout the body. The molecule is active too in the debilitating buildup of excessive fibrous scar tissue in the lungs. The difference between restorative scarring and uncontrolled, deadly fibrosis involves the level of activity of TGF Beta, researchers believe.
But what triggers this molecule to develop fibrous tissue in the first place, be it restorative or deadly? Earlier research had concluded that only when enzymes break it down or cut it up, does the TGF Beta protein become active. But working with laboratory cultures of human cells, the UCSF-led research team discovered that a protein called an integrin is essential to activate the TGF Beta molecule, and it accomplishes this neither by breaking down, nor cutting up TGF Beta, but by changing its shape.
Normally part of a larger protein complex, TGF Beta is inactive until it interacts with the alpha v beta 6 integrin, the team found. The integrin lies partly within a cell and partly outside. When it makes contact with the protein complex that includes TGF Beta, it appears to act as a kind of chemical wedge, the researchers discovered, modifying the shape of the protein complex and exposing the TGF Beta site. TGF Beta can then bind with a specific receptor on the surface of lung cells, beginning the buildup of fibrous tissue.
The critical role of the integrin was confirmed in experiments with mice lacking the gene for this protein -- so-called genetic knockout mice. The team showed that in mice lacking this gene, the lungs do not develop pulmonary fibrosis in response to a drug that normally induces the condition.
But there is more to the story. The researchers also discovered that the integrin must interact with parts of a cell's rigid internal scaffolding, known as the cytoskleton, before it can activate TGF Beta. Their experiments support a model of the multi-step process in which one part of the integrin molecule first binds to the protein complex that includes TGF Beta -- outside the cell. This action modifies the integrin so that another part of it can engage with the cytoskeleton inside the cell. This in turn induces the integrin to change the shape of the molecule containing TGF Beta, allowing the TGF Beta to bind to another protein receptor, initiating the buildup of fibrous material.
"TGF Beta is a widespread and potent molecule," said Dean Sheppard. "But if it were able to become active in many places in the body, it would do great damage. The integrin normally allows it to do its work locally, where it is needed."
But even with those elegant controls, TGF Beta sometimes has exaggerated effects. If integrin is essential for activating TGF Beta and triggering the sequence of steps that leads to fibrosis, Sheppard reasons, then a drug that blocks the integrin locally could halt the deadly lung scarring of pulmonary fibrosis. Currently in the U.S., the condition traps more than a hundred thousand people in the grip of gradual suffocation.
"Knowing the role of the integrin, we have a potential target to control TGF Beta activity if it goes awry," Sheppard added. "The mechanism we described shows a way to allow TGF Beta to continue to be activated very restrictively so it can induce healing, while controlling its ability to cause severe damage."
TGF Beta itself might not be as safe a drug target as the integrin, he said, because it is crucial to a number of essential healing and other processes throughout the body.
The researchers further found that knockout mice, lacking the integrin, live full and healthy lives. Normal wound healing apparently is taken over by back-up mechanisms, but significantly, these mice can not develop lung fibrosis.

Other co-authors are Stephen Dalton, MD, PhD, dermatology fellow; Jianfeng Wu, staff research associate; and Naftali Kiminksi, MD, postdoctoral fellow, all at the Lung Biology Center; Jean Pittet, MD, associate professor of anesthesiology, SFGHMC; Chrystelle Garat, MD, post-doctoral fellow, UCSF Cardiovascular Research Institute; Michael Matthay, MD, professor of medicine and senior associate, Cardiovascular Research Institute; and Daniel Rifkin, PhD, professor of cell biology and medicine, New York University School of Medicine.

Brian Shapiro makes a Vinylmation Menorah for Hanukkah
Brian Shapiro is at it again, this time bringing some holiday cheer with his Vinylmation Menorah.
The Menorah itself was built from scratch out of wood and covered in gold leaf. Each candle is a customized Vinylmation Jr. figure -- the heads are painted so one side is "lit" and the other has a plain wick. That way, you can just turn the head around when it's time to light that candle. The difference is there's no fire hazard in leaving them "on" overnight.
We've got two pictures for you in the gallery courtesy Brian. Check it out!

Sri Lanka's top general resigns, may run for prez
Fonseka was the man behind the defeat of the LTTE after a 25-year war.
COLOMBO: Sri Lanka's top general, who engineered the defeat of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) after a 25-year war, has resigned, sources said on Thursday, amid speculation he will run for president as an opposition candidate.
General Sarath Fonseka is expected to challenge his Commander-in-Chief, President Mahinda Rajapaksa, in an election due to be held by April.
If Fonseka enters the race, analysts expect it to weaken Rajapaksa's core voter base and erode the incumbent's present monopoly on claiming political capital from the war victory.
"General Fonseka had submitted his resignation to the president," said a military source.
Another defence official speaking on condition of anonymity said the resignation had been sent. Two other sources confirmed the same.
Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who is the president's brother and served as army officer in combat alongside Fonseka, told Reuters he did not know about the resignation. "The president didn't tell me," he said.
In July, Rajapaksa promoted the then-army commander to a newly created post, chief of defence staff, which many analysts saw as neutralising the wide powers Fonseka had been given in wartime.
The government has repeatedly denied any split between Fonseka and Rajapaksa, but evidence of a long-brewing rift has been clear. Numerous ruling alliance politicians have publicly rubbished Fonseka's ability to lead the nation as president.
Opposition parties have been happy to fan speculation of Fonseka's potential candidacy to unsettle the ruling alliance and help find any issue that can help them erode the incumbent's enormous post-war popularity.
Rajapaksa has called for early presidential and parliamentary polls to be held by April in what analysts have said is a manoeuvre to lock in a second term before his post-war popularity fades over issues like the cost of living and public wage hikes.
Trade unions allied with the Marxist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna and pro-business United National Party have joined hands in an ongoing five-day labour action, demanding pay raises the president pledged to give after the war ended.
The government's agreement to reduce its budget deficit under a $2.6 billion International Monetary Fund loan could complicate Rajapaksa's ability to deliver on that pledge, a fact the Opposition parties know.
Although both parties are ideologically incompatible, they have both indicated they will back Fonseka for the purpose of defeating Rajapaksa.

I'll probably never get tired of chocolate chip cookies. They're a cookie that you can always come back to because the combination of flavors – butter, vanilla and chocolate – is one that never goes out of style, no matter how many other flavors of cookie you eat. Chocolate chip cookies are also a great canvas for other flavors, whether you're mixing oatmeal in to ... Read More »

Vanilla Cashew Butter Cookies
Peanut butter is, hands down, the most common type of nut butter out there and it is used in all kinds of recipes, from ice creams to cookies to cakes. Other nuts can be used to make nut butter, as well, and they are just as versatile, although they lend a completely different flavor to a recipe. Cashew butter, for instance, is a mild nut ...

Jif Cashew Butter, reviewed
Peanut butter is the go-to nut butter for most people, but any kind of nut can be turned into a creamy nut butter beacause nuts are so high in fat. About 10 years ago, it would be uncommon to see nut butters that were made with almonds, cashews or sunflower seeds anywhere but health food stores, but these days they are so mainstream that even ...

Coconut Cashew Cookies
Coconut and cashews aren't two flavors that I would have put together off the top of my head, but when I ate a piece of a chocolate bar that combined these two elements, I realized that the two make for an excellent flavor combination.

Alternatives to Peanut Butter in Baking
Even though neither Jif nor Skippy, the two largest peanut butter brands in the US, have been included in the recent peanut butter recall (neither sources products from the Peanut Corporation of America), peanut butter is still not at the top of most people's shopping lists at the moment because of the salmonella scare. One of the upsides to this is that more people are ... Read More »

As the Republican right's fear swells in advance of Hillary Clinton's anticipated presidential campaign, conservatives' feverish smears increasingly resemble the desperate gambits of a certain Wile E.

The latest episode in their cartoonish crusade appeared in The Washington Free Beacon, which headlined "The Hillary Letters" the other day with an ominous subhead: "Hillary Clinton, Saul Alinsky correspondence revealed."

A few weeks ago I spotted one of the cutest birthday parties for a baby I have ever seen. I am talking party perfection — just so adorable. Of course, it was on Pinterest and when I clicked the photo it didn't surprise me when it directed me to a lovely blogging friend, Camille of Camille Styles. But, what really caught me off-guard was that it was for her 6-month-old daughter Phoebe. Camille decided to celebrate Phoebe's half birthday! I just love this idea. Yes – half birthday party.
After a few hours of DIY ideas and a homeade cake, Camille and her family put together the most amazing little party for their baby girl.

Beware of the Acid Bath
Beware of acid washes. One of the car wash (detail centers) facilities near me uses an acid bath on every car that comes in for a full detail. WHY? Because acid is the quickest method to remove surface contaminants from a finish. Problem is that is also softens the clear coat plus it removes all the polish/wax/ and sealant on the finish. Repeated use of acid will kill a finish, not something you want to practice.. I have also seen people bring in their car for only a hand wash, get an acid wash, and drive away with no protection on their car. Be informed, ask questions, your car will thank you. Gary

Re: Beware of the Acid Bath
Very true, I sell to several car washes, and have friends that own automatic car washes, many use acid in the winter time to get the salt off quicker, stay away if you can.
Re: Beware of the Acid Bath
Mon dieu! What is a Frostback to do come winter time, then? Those "Touchless" car washes are the lesser of several evils up here north of the 49th parallel.
The automatic wonders that drag your car through hanging fibrous brushes, dripping with the last car's salt/dirt/bird droppings and maybe one or two suds bubbles are but the first insult to your pride and joy. Then on it goes to the spinning oilskin strips to really press the garbage into your poor car's paint, finally ending up at the high school drop-out lineup with their oh-so-used and fouled "drying chamois" to work in that final patina on your clearcoat that can only come from a gazillion small scratches and swirl marks.
On the other hand, we can go to the "hand wash" services and pay through the schnozz for a half-assed attempt, complete with threadbare toweling to grind the missed and left over residue further into our paint. Did I mention we pay through the schnozz for this "service"?
Or, we can bravely go outside in -30 degree weather, steaming hot bucket of water in one hand and another steaming hot bucket 'o suds in the other and try and do the most half-arsed job imaginable - before we sucumb to frostbite on all our extremities. If we are really lucky, we won't have inadvertantly frozen ourselves out of the car's locks.
So, it's back to the touchless washes. If they're spraying acid on the cars to peel off the winter grime, then are we doomed to always pay the premium price for the "hot wax" multi-coloured suds-job that we all know is horseshit anyway?

Re: Beware of the Acid BathOriginally Posted by Frost
That's good to know about the acid wash. Thanks for posting it. Hopefully we don't have that down here because of our mild winters.
Re: Beware of the Acid Bath
Well that's one good thing about having a ragtop. Wouldn't go through one even if I didn't know about the acid

Melbourne coach Mark Neeld has revealed veteran Brad Green will finish his career on Sunday at the MCG against Adelaide.
After previously flagging his retirement at season's end, Neeld said Green will end his 13-year career in front of his home faithful on 254 matches this weekend.
"After discussions last week, Brad came to the realisation that he wanted his last game for our footy club to be at the MCG," Neeld said at AAMI Park.
"It is still going to be a tribute game for Brad. These sort of things deserve to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. We're not going to play finals, so we're in a situation we think that's fair enough."
However, Green will still travel with the side for their Round 23 clash against Fremantle in Perth next week, as he undertakes an observatory role in the coaches' box.
Neeld said Green has been on the coaching path for some time now, as he has been through a training course with the AFL Players' Association.
"It's something we've spoken about for quite a while... he's certainly shown an interest in coaching, so he's doing all the education part of it, and he's going to come and have a week's look to (see) what it's like being a coach," Neeld said.
"So a bit of experience, a bit of testing the water, and Brad Green I don't think will be lost to the footy industry at all."
The Demons won the corresponding fixture last season by a whopping 96 points in 2011, and Melbourne now have the losing Crows coach that day Neil Craig in their corner.
And Neeld said his players had been chewing their sports performance director's ear off about some of their upcoming opponents.
"Neil's a very influential character around the club every week. A couple of players have no doubt had a chat to him about some of the players," he said.
"(He's) full of knowledge about some of the individual players... Adelaide footy club has changed a little bit since Craigy left, they've modified their game style, have a new coaching group."
Neeld denied Adelaide would be any more motivated than usual to make a statement against his side, after Brenton Sanderson's side slumped to a shock 10-point loss to the Brisbane Lions last week to throw the battle for a home qualifying final wide open.
"I just think that they'll be looking at areas to improve. Gone are the days where coaches get up and do all this motivational 'rah rah' type activity, it's about continual improvement," he said.
"They've still got a significant part of their season to go, and that's for Sando and his group to work out with his players."
Forward Mitch Clark will be ready for the start of the Demons' pre-season, with Neeld saying the big man had recovered well from foot surgery.

Flower power
Date published: 15 July 2014
JUDGES swooped on Oldham town centre to inspect the borough's North-West in Bloom entries.
The group, led by key council figures and members of the community, were guided through Oldham's displays to see for themselves the hard work carried out by the Parks and Gardens department.
Their tour also took in Coldhurst Community Park, Heyside Community Allotments, Uppermill Park, St Anne's School in Royton and Dr Kershaw's Hospice.
Oldham won Best City in last year's North-West in Bloom competition (the category was based on population) which gave them automatic entry into Britain in Bloom.
If you walk on the pavement behind that display, you see practically nothing. Walking past the front of it, it appears to be a complete waste of money.

PROTEGE-QV: "Third African Internet Governance Forum a success"
From July 10 to 12 2014, Abuja, the federal capital of Nigeria, hosted the third African governance forum. This is a United Nations led activity initiated in 2006 as part of the Millennium Development Goals. Under the theme "Connecting continents for enhanced multi stakeholder internet governance", the objectives addressed at this third AfIGF included the usual concern of increasing awareness and capacity building on Internet Governance for African users, ensuring that the concerns of Africa are taken into account in the IGF process, strengthening the multi-stakeholder dialogue model for Internet governance in Africa, promoting the use of African languages in the cyberspace.
Co-organized by the Secretariat of the Economic Commission for Africa, the Federal Ministry of Communications Technology of Nigeria through the Nigeria Internet Registry Authority and the Nigeria Internet Governance Forum with support from APC, AFRINIC, ICANN, NIRA, OIF…, the meeting brought together more than 400 participants from government officials, academics, civil society organizations, private sector, research institutions, media, regional and international organizations from well over 20 countries.
Among the key issues raised during this meeting, are:
- Internet and Human Rights
Workshop panelists at the African internet governance forum discussed internet and Human Rights issues. The Internet and other communication technologies have created unprecedented opportunities to share information and knowledge. Besides, they constitute an open path for individuals and activists to hold accountable governments. But these new technological tools are vulnerable to exploitation by governments aiming to crush dissent and deny human rights. Therefore, AfIGF panelists explored ways to find the right balance between governments need to deal with serious issues such as security, hate speech, and the concerns to allow the free flow of online information without violating citizens rights to privacy for, these concerns have often served as pretext to engage in censorship or surveillance of the Internet. This rights-based internet governance approach was also underscored by APC representative Emilar Vushe who addressed the audience in her opening remarks by stating "The same rights that people have offline must also be protected online"
- Internet as engine for growth and development
It is well known that developed countries have made the most as concerning their use of the internet with up to date infrastructure. On the other side, Africa often lacks appropriate infrastructure (broadband) and literacy is still a huge concern. Africa, more than any other region of the world, has the most to gain from the internet. During the opening statement of the third AfIGF, Dr. Mrs Omobola Johnson, Minister of the Communication Technology of Nigeria said that the Internet can contribute up to $300 billion to Nigeria and other African countries GDP by 2025 against an estimated 18 billion in 2013. For our continent that lags behind the world in almost every economic indicator this translates directly to opportunities to generate income, to create wealth, to create jobs, new business opportunities. So, states were invited to encourage policies that drive affordability of the internet, to encourage broadband access policies and to encourage increase in investment of internet infrastructure especially in rural areas.
- The African Virtual Library and Information Network (AVLIN)
This is an initiative aiming to provide digitized full text resources to learners in Africa via the Internet, thereby contributing to the revitalization of education in Africa. This collection of electronic books (eBooks) can be accessed and used free-of-charge by any person living on the African continent. Individuals can access the library from any PC that is connected to the Internet in Africa. Workshop panelist at the AfIGF discussed this issue with emphasizes on the AVLIN concept and activities, identification and selection of virtual resources as part of the African Virtual Library. To our opinion, this is an initiative that would be of great help to both African students and African research institutions.
As concerning some of the shortcomings of this 3rd AfIGF, the National participation. It appeared during the session devoted to the updates from the five Sub-Regional IGF's that only representatives from Benin, Nigeria and Kenya delivered reliable and relevant reports from their respective national IGF's. Yet, African Internet Governance is a forum were "we need to identify and communicate the uniqueness of our environment and ensure that they are considered and are reflected in decisions that are taken at global levels" and as such requires participants with direct involvement within their country Internet Governance structures, regardless of their level of involvement.
Another shortcoming was the absence of African's lusophone countries (Mozambique, Angola, Bissau-Guinea, Cabo Verde…) which is detrimental to the success of a continental and inclusive event.
Overall, we must note that the 3rd African Internet Governance Forum was largely successful. This face to face meeting gave us a unique chance to meet and share with some members of the network. We attended panel discussions that further broaden our minds on topics such as Policies enabling access, IGF and the future of the Internet Ecosystem. Attending this regional IGF under the APC Member Exchange and Travel Fund (METF) has also provided us with new skills and knowledge to successfully taking part in our national IGF.

Short Story by: aworldofexplosions
Status: Finished
Genre: War and Military
Klaxons blared loudly, telling security teams to move to Level 2 and contain the outbreak. Infected growled and wailed, sprinting towards what remained of the third security team here. Bullets whizzed down the corridor, slowing the infected, but not stopping them. What went so wrong? It was just a simple milk run, or at least that's how Sgt. Compton described it. We were supposed to deliver one of the bio-bombs from Level 6 to Level 3. That's when everything went to hell. One of the bombs pre-maturely exploded on Level 3. Most of the team was dead in seconds, only a few of us quickly put on our gas masks, including me. Our team turned in a matter of minutes, along with any personnel killed in the blast. We took a couple of potshots and ran for the elevator. Now we're here, fighting the hordes of the dead. Three teams have already been sent here, all killed. This the third , and they're barely holding up.
\"Higgs, move!!\" a soldier yelled, pissed at my ignorance. I turned just in time to see an infected scientist sprinting towards me, toppling objects over to get to me. Suddenly a gunshot sounded, and the thing lost its balance, toppling over.
\"You gotta watch out, Higgs, these things would NOT hesitate to rip your face off.\" said PFC Kentley, an old friend of mine. Bastard got me drunk before formation last week.
\"Thanks for the heads up. Maybe that would have been useful before it was 20 inches away from me?\" I said, joking around. Kentley smiled, or at least I think it was, I couldn't tell behind the gas mask. I looked at highest ranked trooper in the room, Major Fonstrom. \"What do we do now? We've been sitting here for hours, our guns don't have the ammo!\" I yelled over the radio.
\"We sit tight and wait until reinforcements arrive!\" he yelled back, clearly annoyed.
\"Sit tight? We've been--\" I was about to yell back, but a large explosion interrupted me midsentence.
\"What the hell?!\" Major Fontstrom yelled.
\"Sir, the fire has reached the alternative fuel cells on Level 5! That explosion could level the whole base!! \" one of the security guards said, checking his handcom. Just then, a loud roar came from the end of the corridor. An infected began signaling others to his location, as infected began pouring out the double doors. The guard began punching numbers into the elevator, desperately trying to open it. As the corridor flooded with infected, I thought, it's amazing how much shit can happen in 2 hours, and raised my gun.

One of the first events I attended sober as an ambassador for Hello Sunday Morning was a wrap party. Of all things.
As the alcohol is always free and plentiful, and it's been a very hard eight weeks, everyone is typically inebriated hours before the event actually starts.
As I was sober this time, I was lucky enough to be a spectator to some of the drama and not be involved - such as the director telling the actors that they aren't as good as they think they are; an art director telling a writer they couldn't write their way out of a paper bag; or the boom operator trying it on with the hot makeup artist.
It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye ...
The minute I walked into the party, there's a shot lined up for me. "Mate, not drinking tonight," I try to explain to the director of photography, who laughs and orders me a beer as a chaser.
Maybe I should have made a public announcement earlier.
It was so hard trying to explain and remind people that the poor tree in the courtyard ended up thoroughly watered with booze.
I hope alcohol doesn't affect trees as badly as it can affect people.
Being sober for the formalities didn't necessarily mean I would hear the speeches. A small drunk person managed to dismantle the sound system right before kick off.
However the night was still a hit. We have a disgruntled writer, a broken sound system, an offended actor, a little fella in a coma, an abused director, a happy makeup artist and I'm sober.
Cheers (without beers), Will

Took Me Long Enough
This probably should've been the first blog I wrote, but oh well:) Ok so I havn't really payed much attention to this website until now. I think I discovered it when I was bored one day and decided to see if there was an actual website called taylorswift.com. To my surprise there was because if you think about it, it's kind of a long shot. I just recently decided to make an account. I don't why I waited so long, but I guess it's ok now cause I finally did:) Now I'm just really excited to get in the loop and meet other Swifties

Popularity, Target Markets, Money & Multimedia
"Is Facebook the Internet?" It was a polite question from the daughter of a friend. It took a moment to hide my incredulity, but then the realisation dawned: maybe it wasn't such a stupid question after all.
Taken on a literal level the notion is ludicrous. The Internet is a network of networks, a global system of interconnected computers and servers all tied together through a common communication language. Facebook is merely one of millions of sites which runs on the Internet. 500 million users may make it hugely popular, but the planet has 6.9 billion (6 900m) people. Simple maths suggests that works out to just under one in 14 people using Facebook around the Globe - hardly ubiquitous. The trouble is the overall picture isn't simple.
To use Facebook you need access to the Internet. 2010 estimates put global Internet access at 1.9 billion people. Facebook use becomes one user in 3.8. Of this Internet access, the highest penetration is in developed countries. These countries have aging populations. One in five people in America will be 65 or older by 2035. Your grandparents may have Internet access, but are they on Facebook? Given Facebook hasn't updated its member numbers since July and given it grew from 100 million to 250 million between July 2008 and July 2009 and from 250m to 500m by July 2010 just what percentage of its global target audience does it now reach?
It's popular, so what? That hardly makes Facebook the Internet!
Ordinarily I'd agree with you. The popularity of Lady Gaga hardly makes her all 'music'. Facebook is different. Lady Gaga doesn't stop you listening to other artists. Facebook, by its very nature, drags you away from MySpace, Orkut, Bebo and Friends Reunited. It kills diversity and drives them out of existence. Unlike many sites and services designed to coexist with one another, Facebook replaces. What's more it looks determined to try and replace everything.
Just days after being stumped by an eight year old Facebook made things even more difficult. On 8 March Warner Brothers became the first major media company to offer a movie for rent through Facebook. "This is definitely a test" said Warner digital distribution president Thomas Gewecke to The New York Times. It didn't matter, shares in online rental store Netflix dropped five per cent the same day.
Equally significant was how Warner implemented the rental. Users pay with Facebook credits. Until now credits have been a reasonably niche part of Facebook. They were introduced two years ago and limited primarily to virtual goods inside 'free' games like FarmVille and Mafia Wars. Facebook was biding its time. Facebook credits quietly went on sale at US megastores Wal-Mart, Target and Best Buy last year. Now its currency is open to all Facebook applications with 400 developers signed up. What's next? Mark Zuckerberg's head on a virtual coin?

Keauna Inaba[1] McLaughlin (born September 25, 1992) is an American pair skater. With former partner Rockne Brubaker, she is the 2008 & 2009 U.S. National Champion, the 2010 Four Continents silver medalist, and the 2007 World Junior Champion.
Personal life[edit]
Keauna McLaughlin was born in Tarzana, California. She moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado to train and attends Cheyenne Mountain High School. Her name is based on a Hawaiian word for "feminine wind running through the forest".[2]
Her mother, Lei Ina, was a senior-level pair skater[3] and skated professionally as a show skater with Disney on Ice.[4] Her father left the family when she was a toddler.[2]
McLaughlin began skating at the age of four.[3][5] She originally competed in single skating. As a singles skater, she is the 2006 U.S. Juvenile silver medalist.[6] She began pair skating at age 10[3] and focused entirely on pair skating when she teamed up with Brubaker.
With partner Ethan Burgess, McLaughlin won two consecutive medals at the U.S. Championships: the bronze medal at the novice level at the 2004 U.S. Championships and the pewter medal at the junior level at the 2005 U.S. Championships. Her partner was too old for the Junior Grand Prix circuit so they split and she skated on her own for a while.[7]
When Rockne Brubaker's previous partnership ended due to a lack of height difference, his coach Dalilah Sappenfield called McLaughlin, whom she had seen competing at other events, and arranged a try-out.[3] McLaughlin and Brubaker teamed up in May 2006.[8] McLaughlin relocated from California to Colorado Springs.[5]
The pair went undefeated in their first competitive season together (2006–2007). In that season, they competed on the 2006–2007 ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit and won both their events and the Junior Grand Prix Final. They went on to win the Junior title at both the 2007 U.S. Championships and the 2007 World Junior Championships. McLaughlin and Brubaker were the fourth American pair team in history to win the World Junior title.[9][10] Because of the age difference between McLaughlin and Brubaker, this was their only junior-age-eligible season.
McLaughlin and Brubaker began the 2007–2008 season on the Grand Prix circuit at the 2007 Cup of China, where they won the silver medal. They won a second silver medal at the 2007 NHK Trophy. Their success at these two competitions qualified them for the 2007–2008 Grand Prix Final, but they withdrew after the short program due to an injury to Brubaker.
Later that season, they competed at the 2008 U.S. Championships and won the senior national title, becoming the first U.S. pairs team in 51 years to win consecutive junior and senior national titles.[11] Despite winning the U.S. Championships, McLaughlin and Brubaker were not assigned to the World Championship team or the World Junior Championship team due to ISU age restrictions. McLaughlin was too young for senior ISU championships and Brubaker was too old for the World Junior Championships. McLaughlin and Brubaker's win, combined with the wins of Jessica Rose Paetsch / Jon Nuss on the junior level, and Brynn Carman / Christopher Knierim on the novice level, gave their coach Dalilah Sappenfield a sweep of national pair champions for 2008, an accomplishment which led to Sappenfield being named Coach of the Year.[12]
McLaughlin and Brubaker began the 2008–2009 season at the 2008 Skate America, where they won the silver medal. A week later they competed at the 2008 Skate Canada International, where they won the bronze medal. At the 2009 U.S. Championships, McLaughlin and Brubaker successfully defended their national title, which resulted in them being selected to compete at the 2009 Four Continents and the 2009 Worlds. They placed 5th at Four Continents and 11th at the World Championships.
In May 2009, McLaughlin and Brubaker changed coaches to John Nicks[13] and relocated to California.[14]
McLaughlin and Brubaker began the 2009–2010 season at the 2009 Cup of Russia, where they won the bronze medal. They continued their season at the 2009 Skate America, where they placed 4th. As the top American pair team on the international circuit, McLaughlin and Brubaker entered the 2010 U.S. Championships as the favorites to win their third consecutive national title and secure one of the two pair skating berths on the U.S. Olympic team. Despite several days of strong practices, they delivered an uncharacteristically rough short program, including falls on a triple salchow and a freak fall on a death spiral, leaving them in 7th place.[14] The pair was able to move up to 5th place after the long program but it was not enough to win a place on the Olympic team.[15]
Determined to rebound from their National Championship result, McLaughlin and Brubaker competed at the 2010 Four Continents less than ten days later. There, they recorded a personal best score in the short program and ultimately won the silver medal.
On June 22, 2010, McLaughlin announced the end of her partnership with Brubaker.[16]
Post-eligible career[edit]
In 2010, she was cast on Skating with the Stars as a skating pro. Her partner was Brandon Mychal Smith. [17]

It is not Billick's fault that McNair can't hold onto the football, and the defense played very well with no experience at corner. After that the play calling sucked, we saw another 4th and one pass, we turned it over on 3 consecutive plays, and this team once again was not prepared to play.
That is on the head coach, and there needs to be some sort of shake up
