Quote:im thinking GSP by decision or TKO from ground and pound.
Quote: Georges St-Pierre Vs. BJ Penn.About what I expected. Similar to the first fight, only moreso. GSP is simply amazing - his work ethic and ability to improve is outstanding. BJ did indeed look sharp in the first round, but it was all GSP after that. Fourth round was just an unnecessary beatdown. I do think that if BJ's conditioning ever caught up with his skill, he would be unbeatable.
Quote: Sadly, didn't see this one. Surprised to read that Nate got dominated in this one - that is what HE has been doing to everyone else. I do like Guida, though. That guy is a machine - insane pace, and he just keeps it up.
Quote: I am starting to come around a bit with Machida. While mantaining his trademark elusiveness, he offered just enough offense to keep from being boring. His accuracy and timing are simply incredible.
Quote:Penn called GSP a beyotch for tapping in the Serra fight and giving up but who is the beyotch now.

She went on till she came to a dip, or gulley, when a break in the cliff occurred.
I looked through the passage and saw that the gulley was black with baboons.
We had found a gulley washed out by an autumn storm, and it afforded a little protection against the wind.
Page 19: "gulley" changed to "gully" (on either side by a gully).
Soon some thirty of them had met with this fate, and the gulley was full to overflowing.
The camel was in a gulley between the second and third hills.
Let a portion of the drops of rain get together and make a stream, and they will form a gulley.
There were two very high hills, and we were in the gulley at the bottom.
This, in turn, had set off an avalanche on the gentle slope and all of it had poured into the gulley.
And mayhap among the bogs and hills 'tis lonelier than in the gulley.
"channel made by running water," 1650s, possibly a variant of Middle English golet "water channel" (see gullet). Gully-washer, American English colloquial for "heavy rainstorm," attested by 1887.

Official Announcements
New IMA advertising campaign: The CMA - You've got to earn it!
The IMA just launched a new advertising campaign for the Certified Management Accountant:
IMA und IBCS beschliessen Zusammenarbeit
IMA Europe
EBS Business School Named First European School Approved by IMA's Higher Education Endorsement Program
Montvale, N.J., USA, September 29, 2014 – Following more than a dozen American colleges and universities, Germany's EBS Business School has been recognized through IMA®'s (Institute of Management Accountants) Higher Education Endorsement Program as the first European school to achieve this distinction.
The Higher Education Endorsement Program recognizes undergraduate and graduate accounting programs that meet the educational standards that enable students to pursue the CMA® (Certified Management Accountant) credential.
"Properly trained accountants are vital to the success of businesses and economies around the world. We're pleased that EBS is supporting management accounting education and preparing its students for this important career path," said Raef Lawson, Ph.D., CFA, CMA, CPA, IMA vice president of research and policy and professor-in-residence.
Following a thorough review process, IMA endorsed the EBS B. Sc. program in Cost Accounting, and Performance Management and Measurement, as well as the M. Sc. Advanced Management and Enterprise Risk Management programs.
"Recognition by IMA as Europe's first endorsed school is a great achievement and a testimony to the emphasis we at EBS place on both academic rigor and practical relevance," said Niels Dechow, professor and chair of Management Accounting and Control. "The IMA endorsement is a clear testimony to the quality of the curriculum offered by the leading department at EBS for Finance, Accounting, Control & Taxation (FACT). FACT is very proud of this accomplishment."
Higher education programs seeking endorsement by IMA must substantially cover the content of the CMA exam in their curriculum, have adequate faculty resources, be accredited by a recognized accreditation organization, and have a faculty member designated as an IMA Campus Advocate. The Campus Advocate program helps professors demonstrate their commitment to the future of the accounting profession by mentoring students and encouraging CMA certification.
"IMA encourages faculty around the world to promote the management accounting profession by joining the IMA Campus Advocate program and by encouraging their schools to seek IMA endorsement," said Lawson.
IMA's Higher Education Endorsement Program offers two tiers of recognition: full endorsement, for those university programs that meet all endorsement criteria; and provisional endorsement, for programs with some minor to moderate shortcomings in meeting all the criteria for full endorsement.

CFOs Face More Regulation and Risk Management: ACCA and IMA Report Outlines Future Roles of the CFO
CFOs Face More Regulation and Risk Management: ACCA and IMA Report Outlines Future Roles of the CFO
NEW YORK & MONTVALE, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--According to a new report published by ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and IMA® (the Institute of Management Accountants), CFOs will face many challenges in the future, including global economic uncertainty and volatility, fluctuating energy prices, and turbulent currency markets, along with a shift in economic power.
"The Changing Role of the CFO" presents the future landscape for the CFO, and it is available online at http://www.imanet.org/PDFs/changingrole.pdf
The report identifies emerging priorities that will impact the future role of the CFO and cites nine future key issues that will shape the finance function's top job, including regulation, globalization, technology, risk management, transforming finance, stakeholder engagement, strategy, integrated reporting, and talent. Highlights include:
Jamie Lyon, Head of Corporate Sector at ACCA, says, "We see more pressure on the CFO role than ever before. Apart from the sheer breadth of the role now, it really is a question of having enough time in the day to prioritize and deal with all the issues that need to be dealt with. Businesses are asking a lot from their top finance leaders right now, and we don't see this getting any easier, particularly with the current level of volatility and business uncertainty. It places the finance function and finance leaders under great pressure and scrutiny, but it also continues to provide great opportunities for finance to influence the organization. The CFO role of the future will be unique, requiring a special blend of capabilities and skills."
Raef Lawson, Ph.D., CMA®, CPA, vice president of research at IMA, added: "This comprehensive, global study highlights the challenges faced by today's CFOs. The results of this study will help shape our joint research agenda as we provide thought leadership for finance and accounting professionals."
This report reflects the perceptions of CFOs and finance leaders who participated in an ongoing engagement program through ACCA's Accountants for Business Global Forum, in which IMA also takes part. Findings are based on discussions with CFOs at roundtable events held in Shanghai, New York, Moscow, and Zurich in late 2012.

(Photo by John Shearer/WireImage) By Tony Hicks, Contra Costa Times Posted: 09/17/13, 6:29 AM EDT | Updated: on 09/17/2013 # Comments In what has to be the most shocking break-up announcement since ... never, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are apparently done.We knew there was big, big trouble when Cyrus stopped following Hemsworth on Twitter over the weekend."Liam and Miley are completely done and broken up," an insider told Us Weekly. Another added, "She wants nothing to do with him, and vice-versa. It's bad."No, that's good. Especially for him.The pair were last seen publicly at the Los Angeles premiere of Hemsworth's box office bomb "Paranoia" on Aug. 8. Reports said there was an "apparent chilliness" between them. Like, OMG, she didn't even twerk and only made the lizard face once or twice.According to Us Weekly -- which apparently keeps track of these things -- this is the third time the pair has broken up over the course of their four-year romance, which began on the set of "The Last Song." Hemsworth, 23, -- who seems like he may have a real career -- popped the question to 20-year-old Cyrus with a massive Neil Lane diamond ring in May 2012."I'm so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam," Miley said at the time.Ah, but then storm clouds appeared. Hemsworth was accused of cozying up to January Jones at a pre-Oscars party in February. Sometimes Cyrus would be seen without her ring, her twerking and tongue-flicking become less enthusiastic. It was sad.Us Weekly reported last week that Hemsworth was back in touch with Jones. Denials were issued. The twerking got more violent. It was an ugly scene.Then there was her overwhelmingly noxious performance at the MTV Video Music Awards Aug. 25. It was widely reported that Hemsworth was less than happy with it.E! News reported it was Cyrus' decision to end things because she believed he wasn't faithful. He's reportedly moving his belongings out of her Los Angeles-area house.Hemsworth -- one of the stars of "The Hunger Games" -- has reportedly been seen recently with two brunettes, one at the Toronto International Film Festival, and another, identified by Life & Style as Mexican singer Eiza Gonzalez, at a Las Vegas nightclub on Sunday night.I imagine he'll get over this.

It wasn't meant to be like this. Before the singing began we were assured that Engelbert was so popular in the host city of Baku, capital of Azerbaijan that he had to have a police escort wherever he went. Even the hosts of the show were at pains to tell us all what an honour it was to have a contestant who had stars on the Walks of Fame of both Hollywood and Las Vegas.
But from the moment he stepped out on stage as the very first contestant it became clear that this would not be Britain's night. Humperdinck, 76, seemed beset by nerves and with his voice below its best, the weaknesses of his charming, but deeply old-fashioned ballad became all-too apparent.
But even so, his humiliation is hard to explain. How could Humperdinck have proved less popular that, say, Rona Nishliu, the 'experimental jazz vocalist' from Albania? Her extraordinary shrieks, whoops and yells of pain sounded like a woman in labour, set to atonal music and she looked even stranger than she sounded. Yet she picked up 12 points from Italy alone.
In the end the event boiled down to a contest between age and beauty. To judge by their pre-contest publicity Buranovskiye Babushki, alias the Russian Grannies were as unstoppable as the Red Army at the gates of Berlin. These six old biddies – combined age 484 – bore an eerie resemblance to a set of wrinkled Russian dolls: had each one of the popped out of the one before? They exhorted us all to, 'Come on and dance, come on and boom-boom-boom,' while baking biscuits in an oven revolving on the stage. Who could compete with that?
Enter Loreen. Her song 'Euphoria' sounded like the kind of dance music that blares out all day from the poolside loudspeakers at countless Mediterranean resorts. But while most of the other girl singers went for the standard combination of sexy frock and gleaming smile, Loreen styled herself like the long lost child of Kate Bush and Joey Ramone: a heavy fringe, a big nose and a surly expression. The combination seemed to work wonders.
Some artists, of course, had serious matters on their minds in these straightened times. The Spanish entrant Pastora Soler had revealed in an interview before the contest that she had been told not to win. The Spanish simply could not afford to host the finals next year. And as the Greek singer Eleftheria Eleftheriou began her number there were serious worries that her country might go bankrupt before she got to the end of it.
There were no such fears in Baku itself, which possesses a Dubai-style effusion of wildly shaped skyscrapers, each of which is spotlit in a rainbow of wild colours. The Crystal Hall, in which the contest was set, had been built in seven months and was decorated with 45,000 lights. Somehow one couldn't help but feel that very few of them were powered by wind turbine. If there was ever a symbol of the shifting of power from west to east, this was it.
But as Britain recovers from another night of catastrophe we can console ourselves with one thing. The other countries may not like our songs. But when they sing theirs, what language do most of them choose? Why, English, of course. In that, at least, we're still top.

VIDEO: Christian Audigier Says "No Way" to Jon Gosselin Collaboration
Sorry, Jon Gosselin; despite whatever hopes you may have had, Christian Audigier is not interested in having you design a clothing line for him.
The Ed Hardy honcho recently sat down with E! Online to discuss, among other topics, the rumors that he and the Jon & Kate Plus 8 dad would be collaborating on clothes.
"I never said that I'm going to do a line with him," Audigier clarified. "I believe that was the media talking about that."
So why did he invite Gosselin and his new gal-pal Hailey Glassman to hang out in St. Tropez with him last month? Audigier explains that he had he had seen Gosselin talking about his need for a job on Jon & Kate Plus 8 (he's a fan; who knew?), and decided to meet up with him to find out what kind of work Jon might be interested in.
Plus, as Audigier notes, "I like publicity. Publicity, good or bad, is always great."
Check out the video below:
Let us know in the comments section: Now that Jon Gosselin's designer dreams are dashed, what kind of work do you think he should go into?

Washington (AP) - Barack Obama's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year got off to a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad start.
There he was, on New Year's Day, on vacation with his family in
Things only got worse for Obama when he returned to
From the start, 2010 delivered a string of setbacks that built up to an electoral shellacking come November, to use the president's own word.
No matter that the recession was officially over. That sweeping health care changes at last had been enacted. That combat operations in
"This is what change looks like," Obama said proudly, after the health care law passed.
But. The economic recovery was too slow. The oil gushed for too long. The health care law was too complicated. The unemployment rate too high. The political discourse too raw. The tea party too loud.
Americans were in a foul mood, and Democrats got the blame.
Unemployment rate: 9.7 percent. Presidential approval rating in Associated Press-GfK poll: 56 percent. Congressional approval: 42 percent.
The Jan. 19 election to fill the Senate seat vacated by the death of Obama's ally and friend, Ted Kennedy, delivered a jarring result. Republican Scott Brown's victory, in liberal Massachusetts no less, deprived Democrats of their 60th vote in the Senate, the number needed to overcome GOP delaying tactics on legislation.
The consequences rippled through everything, recasting the already bruising health care debate, dimming hopes for climate change legislation and exposing animosity from voters over joblessness, Wall Street bailouts, exploding federal budget deficits and the toxic ways of
Obama recognized what was obvious, yet remarkable for a man who just one year earlier had embodied the restless mood of voters who swept him into office. He was losing touch.
"Do they really get us and what we're going through?" Obama wondered aloud.
He meant that extraordinary circumstances had forced themselves on the presidency and the country. "I hated it, you hated it," he said of the bank bailouts, for example. "It was about as popular as a root canal."
His State of the Union speech was in part a soliloquy about the expectations he'd raised. "I campaigned on the promise of change - change we can believe in, the slogan went," he said. "And right now, I know there are many Americans who aren't sure if they still believe we can change. Or, at least, that I can deliver it."
Unemployment rate: 9.7 percent.
Bipartisanship came briefly into fashion, as lip service. Early in the month, Obama invited Republican leaders to the White House for the first time in two months, even as the capital was all but shut down by snow and ice. The meeting simply made clear
"Bipartisan cannot mean simply that Democrats give up everything that they believe in, find the handful of things that Republicans have been advocating for, and we do those things, and then we have bipartisanship," Obama sniped.
House Republican leaders John Boehner and Eric Cantor told Obama in a letter: "'Bipartisanship' is not writing proposals of your own behind closed doors, then unveiling them and demanding Republican support."
Unemployment rate: 9.7 percent. Presidential approval rating: 53 percent. Congressional approval: 22 percent.
It was a month of passion and poison, a cry of "baby killer" from the House floor, roiling tea party protests, ugly shouts at lawmakers and sometimes by them. In the fierce maneuvering for a health care law, Democrats rained favors in back rooms to placate deep-pocketed special interests and wavering lawmakers. Spring arrived like streaks of mud on the carpet.
It was a mess.
And it placed Obama squarely in the history books as the president who achieved what Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman and Bill Clinton could not - a path to nearly universal health care. Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, despised insurance company practices would be forbidden and Americans would finally get the help they need to afford health insurance as well as an
"We proved that we are still a people capable of doing big things," Obama declared after the crucial House vote late the night of March 21.
Boehner steamed from the House floor in the final throes of debate. "Can you say it was done openly, with transparency and accountability, without back-room deals?" Boehner demanded. "Hell, no you can't!"
Obama summoned exhausted aides to the Truman Balcony in the hour for champagne.
"Fired up! Ready to go!" Democrats exulted at the signing two days later. Vice President Joe Biden remarked to the president, a little too close to the microphone, "This is a big f------ deal."
Obama took his victory on the road. In
"Go for it," he said. "Be my guest."
"If they want to have that fight, we can have it. Because I don't believe the American people are going to put the insurance industry back in the driver's seat."
Unemployment rate: 9.9 percent. Presidential approval rating: 49 percent. Congressional approval: 28 percent.
At first, it was just another tragic accident. On April 20, an explosion ripped through the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, killing 11 crewmen and injuring 17 as the massive structure sank into the
Four days later, oil was found leaking nearly a mile below the surface.
Another circumstance had forced itself upon the presidency and the nation.
Unemployment rate: 9.7 percent. Presidential approval rating: 49 percent. Congressional approval: 28 percent.
The oil slick was massive and growing. Americans were becoming conversant with terms like blowout preventer, static kill and top kill. A live video feed from the ocean floor constantly reminded Americans that the government and the industry could not staunch a disaster unfolding before everyone's eyes.
"This man is working hard," Michelle Obama told a meeting of Democratic women early in the month.
"Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?" Malia Obama asked her father late in the month.
GM, rescued by government, reported its first quarterly profit since 2007.
Overseas, just before Memorial Day weekend at home, a roadside bomb pushed the
Unemployment rate: 9.5 percent. Presidential approval rating: 50 percent. Congressional approval: 24 percent.
Where's the outrage? If coolness in a crisis is a virtue in the Oval Office, people also want to see leaders channel their anger and frustration.
Obama absorbed that lesson as the oil still gushed. He told Americans his talks with Gulf fishermen and oil and environmental experts were "so I know whose ass to kick."
An Associated Press-GfK poll during the crisis found that Americans had become just as dissatisfied with Obama's work on the Gulf oil spill as they had been with President George W. Bush's handling of Hurricane Katrina.
"He's certainly moved from seeming to walk on water to really slogging in the mud, the oil-filled mud if you will," Fred Greenstein, a
In an extraordinary loose-lips episode, Obama's
Unemployment rate: 9.5 percent.
The administration called it "Recovery Summer" but people didn't seem to be buying it.
Yes, economic growth was coming back from the year before. But the $814 billion stimulus package was supposed to wrestle down unemployment, and that was still perilously close to 10 percent. Democrats who had gone to the wall for the health care overhaul were hearing voters tell them to fix the economy.
The vastly complicated health law may be as far-reaching as Social Security in the 1930s or Medicare in the 1960s. But it is different. Most people aren't suddenly getting a check from the government in the mail. The promised gains unfold in many stages spread out over years.
Joblessness is now.
Unemployment rate: 9.6 percent. Presidential approval rating: 49 percent. Congressional approval: 24 percent.
Vacations are rarely just vacations for a president and his family. This year was no exception.

Later in the month, the oil spill finally choked off in advance of the final kill of the well, the Obamas symbolically vacationed in the Gulf to show the world that beaches were safe, clean and open for business again.

GM, recipient of a nearly $50 billion bailout, reported another quarterly profit, $1.3 billion, and began the process of shedding government ownership. The automaker stayed profitable in the fall and raised $13 billion for taxpayers in its initial stock sale to the public. Like Chrysler, also out of bankruptcy protection, GM has been hiring thousands more workers.

Unemployment rate: 9.6 percent. Presidential approval rating: 49 percent. Congressional approval: 23 percent.
Obama campaigned largely in urban areas in liberal states, his unpopularity such that many Democrats wanted to keep their distance from him in the home stretch. Former President Bill Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden stepped in to fight for the cause in places where the president could not.
If Democrats used the health care law in their campaigns, it was to dissociate themselves from it. Some labored equally hard not to be tied to Nancy Pelosi, the House speaker demonized by Democrats' foes.
"Republicans are on offense and Democrats are running for cover," Boehner said. Democrats used every opportunity to remind voters of the bitter fruits of Republican governance. "They're offering more of the past," Biden said, "but on steroids."
Democrats had little doubt they were in for a drubbing Nov. 2.
Unemployment rate: 9.8 percent. Presidential approval rating: 47 percent. Congressional approval: 26 percent.
Obama was reflective the day after. He was not looking for asses to kick. Republicans won the House from the Democrats, shaved the Democratic majority in the Senate, picked up governorships and surged in state legislatures.
"You know," Obama said, "this is something that I think every president needs to go through."
"Now," he went on, "I'm not recommending for every future president that they take a shellacking like I did last night. You know, I'm sure there are easier ways to learn these lessons."
Said Pelosi: ""Nine and a half percent unemployment is a very eclipsing event."
The tea party demonstrated both its potency and its limits. Republican House candidates backed by the activists are coming to

Obama blew off some steam at a pickup basketball game, coming away with a gashed lower lip needing 12 stitches.
The year drew to a close with the government in a defensive crouch against the drip-drip-drip of WikiLeaks disclosures. The first hundreds to be released, in a cache of more than 250,000 State Department cables coming out, proved a huge embarrassment for Washington in its dealings with other nations, and followed the leak of nearly half a million documents from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
A burst of bipartisanship came back, this time with teeth. It has left liberal Democrats feeling bitten.
Although Obama has probably called the Republicans' bluff on their vow to repeal "Obamacare" - they don't have the votes - he has to deal with them on a broad front now. He compromised on tax cuts in the lame-duck session, agreeing to extend lower rates for the rich as well as the middle class before their expiration at year's end. The agreement is expected to add $900 billion to the deficit.
Has harmony come to the capital? Hardly. Obama likened the Republicans to hostage-takers.
But it's a new world now. He dealt.


text: Posted June 8, 2012 http://blackcla.ws/n...thlete-of-year/ It's possible no one in the game of football has had a better, more successful two-year run than Cam Newton. In 2010, the 6-foot-5, 250-pound quarterback led Auburn to its first national title in 53 years, winning the Heisman Trophy, the Maxwell Award — given to the nation's top college player — and the Davey O'Brien Award — as the nation's top quarterback. He was also named an Associated Press First-Team All-American and the SEC Offensive Player of the Year. After being selected by the Carolina Panthers with the first overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft, Newton went on to set not only rookie records at quarterback, but all-time marks. He was named the AP's Offensive Rookie of the Year and was selected to replace Super Bowl-bound quarterback Eli Manning on the NFC's Pro Bowl roster in a season in which he became the first player in NFL history to pass for 4,000 yards and run for at least 500. His 4,051 yards passing set an NFL rookie record, while his 14 rushing touchdowns is the most ever by an NFL quarterback in a single season. Newton can now add one more accolade to his ever-growing resume as he was selected the Alabama Sports Writers Association's Pro Athlete of the Year.

Militants Kill Christians In Syria, Lebanon
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent BosNewsLife
DAMASCUS/BEIRUT (BosNewsLife)-- Christians in Syria and Lebanon were mourning Saturday, October 20, the growing number of believers killed in anti-Christian violence, including children.
Among the latest victims in Syria was missionary and house church leader Sami, his wife and their three children, who were murdered by "a marauding militia earlier this month," said the Christian Aid Mission (CAM) group.
In a letter to a missionary and pastor, obtained by BosNewsLife, a survivor of the bloodshed claimed they were killed while he and other Christians were meeting for worship at Sami's house church. "A group of fanatic Muslims...broke down the door and started to shoot all over the place," Haddad recalled.
"We were afraid. They said we have to stop meeting and start praying to [Islam's Prophet] Muhammad and that we were all going to hell," Haddad wrote.
"Then they asked us to leave the house and told Sami to stay with his family. [When we] left the house, we heard people shouting and then they killed Sami and his family."
He expressed concerns about the future. "What shall we do? The brothers here are afraid and we have no more houses or food or anything. Why is Jesus not coming soon to take us home?"
BosNewsLife could not independently verify the authenticity of the letter, but it seemed consistent with other reports.
In a written reaction, the missionary leader to whom the letter was addressed said that while he is "very, very sad" Christians should realize that "Sami and his family are with Jesus now and they are rejoicing with Him now."
He told Sami's house church members to flee to Lebanon. "Remember brother that Jesus has been through death and overcame it with His resurrection. Remember that we will all be with Jesus and we are not afraid to die for His glory. Sami was a man of God and loved Jesus with all his heart," he wrote in a letter released by CAM.
Christians were either identified with only one name, or not identified, and no specific location was provided, amid security concerns.
CAM said the latest killings bring the total death toll of believers linked to Sami's "ministry" to 11.
"Many believers from this area have fled to Lebanon [but] there are 32 Christian families left in Syria" in the region who "need to find a way to Lebanon," added the group.
However even in Lebanon, Christians face growing violence, following Friday's bomb attack that rocked a Christian district in Beirut, killing at least 8 people, including a senior security official.
The head of Lebanon's national police and security force, Wissam al-Hassan, was among the dead and was believed to be the target of the attack.
Hassan, who was to be buried on Sunday, October 21, led an investigation that implicated Syria in the 2005 bombing that killed former prime minister Rafik Hariri.
His son, Saad Hariri, has accused the Syrian government of being behind the car bombing in Beirut, that also injured 80 people.
Anti-Syrian protests were held Saturday, October 20, in several Lebanese towns with at least one death reported in the northern city of Tripoli.
Despite the mounting tensions in Lebanon, CAM told BosNewsLife CAM there is "an urgent need to help Syrian believers escape the violence" otherwise "they will all be dead if they stay."
Syrian Christians, who comprise roughly 10 percent of the mainly Islamic population, have been accused by opposition fighters of having cooperated with the regime of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad.
Christian refugees have told reporters that if the uprising against Al-Assad is successful, they will find themselves "on the losing side" regardless of whom they support.
Across Syria, over 30,000 people are believed to have been killed since a Sunni-led popular uprising against Assad, a member of the Shiite-linked Alawite sect, broke out 19 months ago.
CAM said it was involved in supporting missionaries seeking shelter for Christians.
"They will need to find housing and take care of them once they get to Lebanon."
The Christians can't expect much luxury. A small room rents for $600 month, with three or four families living their, "sharing one bathroom and kitchen", CAM said.

Compared to years to come, Big Brother 4 was relatively tame - although it had its share of talking points.
Cameron Stout - who held strong Christian beliefs and was against sex before marriage - won the competition, although it was one of the losing housemates who made an impression.
Lisa Jeynes became the focus of headlines when other contestants believed she used to be a man, while she noted she could "kill someone with two fingers".
Here's a breakdown of the guys and girls who competed on the fourth series of Big Brother in 2003.
Winner Cameron Stout
The devout Christian became known for his religious believes and unwavering insistence on waiting until marriage to lose his virginity.
His innocence and strong believes were enough to convince viewers, and he went on to win the series.
Runner-up Ray Shah
Ray Share insisted friends would describe him as "witty" and "outgoing", and he went the distance - just falling short as runner-up to Cameron.
Anouska Golebiewski
Nursery assistant Anouska had ambitions of being a child psychologist, and had a lover outside the house.
She was seen as quite loud by her fellow contestants, and she was quickly evicted on Day 8.
Federico Martone
Lighthearted Federico showed his cheeky, happy side but insisted there was more to him than that.
Although he wasn't triumphant, he later appeared on the show again in 2009 as part of a task which celebrated a decade of Big Brother.
Jon Tickle
Quitting your job for a stint on a reality show is either brave or stupid, and it's still hard to tell just how daft Jon was.
An identical twin, the housemate admitted before the series that he would try to 'stretch' the rules.
Justine Sellman
Justine broke new ground for the show, becoming the first Jewish housemate at the time.
Also a twin, she insisted she could feel her sibling's pain, while admitting she was looking for love.
Lisa Jeynes
Ah, Lisa Jeynes - the blonde housemate became the name on everyone's lips when other contestants believed she used to be a man.
Also on the show, she scarily noted she could "kill someone with two fingers".
Annuszka 'Nush' Nowak
'Nush' may not have had great success on the show, but some good did come of it - she met her husband Sam Ornbo during her time in the house.
Scott Turner
Poor Scott was still looking to reach his full potential, but what he had wasn't enough to win BB.
Joanne 'Sissy' Rooney
Known to viewers as Sissy, the fashion designer was inspired by her mum and went into the house having been in a three-year relationship with partner Julian.
Stephanie Coldicott
Steph was married to Grimsby Town and West Brom footy star Stacy Coldicott, although the couple were going through their divorce during her time on the show.
Tania do Nascimento
Teased by temporary housemate Gaetano Kagwa, who called her piggy, Tania took twelve choccie bars and nine paris of shoes when she entered the house.
During her time on the show, it was revealed she had once dated Peter Andre!

Funny story I once made a cocktail waitress laugh so hard I made her spill a tray of drinks on herself and a customer.
I am also a world traveler. I have been all over Europe, parts of Asia and of course Mexico and canada. Travelling is a passion of mine and I would love to travel a lot more in the future.
I am a generally happy person and I am begining to love my life. I would like to find one woman(one because I am a fierce believer in monogamy) to spend some time with and build a strong relationship.

Major Robert Marshall Grubbs
DeWitt W. C. Davis (1850–1881) was born in Michigan and in the Civil War served as a private in the 7th Regiment, Michigan Infantry. He married Ella R. Grubbs (1852–1932) and was in Denison, Texas, shortly after the town's founding.
The 1876 Denison City Directory listed him: "Davis, DeWitt C., hardware, stoves, tinware and agricultural implements, 113 north side of Main between Houston and Austin Avenues; residence north side of Gandy Street between Burnet and Rusk Avenues."
Living in the same house with DeWitt and Ella was her father, Major Robert Marshall Grubbs. According to his tombstone, he was born on December 12, 1825. In 1876, the City Directory had him: "Grubbs, Robert M., asst postmaster, residence north side of Gandy between Rusk and Burnet Avenues." His wife was Elizabeth F. G. "Eliza" Reid Grubbs (1829–1921). They had married on December 7, 1848, in Henry County, Indiana.
The Denison Daily Herald for January 1, 1879, carried this short profile of the major: "Major R. M. Grubbs served two years as mayor iof Denison. He was born in Kentucky in 1831 and received a common school education before settling in Indiana, a state he represented in the Federal army. He came to Denison in 1873 in charge of D. W. C. Davis hardware store. That year he was appointed Postmaster, an office he filled to the satisfaction of the public for one year before being elected mayor in 1877." Grubbs served as a major in the 84th Indiana Volunteer Infantry.
By 1880, the household
had moved to nearby Sherman,
living on North Travis Street. On June 2, the Census taker listed
DeWitt, 30,
as a hardware merchant. Also present were wife Ella, 26; two young
(Pauline and Blanche); Major Grubbs, 52,
DeWitt passed away on February 18, 1881, in Sherman, and was buried at West Hill Cemetery there. He left behind an infant son, DeWitt Clinton Davis Jr., born September 26, 1880. Major Grubbs managed his son-in-law's estate and served as guardian of his three grandchildren. After he died in 1897, however, Ella had legal trouble. Her efforts to protect her children's interests resulted in protracted litigation, the positive results of which can be seen in the Southwestern Reporter, vol. 50 (1899), pages 1087ff
In 1886 Major Grubbs and his family received news of their daughter Maud's death in New York City.
Major Grubbs passed away on April 21, 1897, and was buried in West Hill Cemetery in Sherman, Texas. His wife, Eliza, died in Denver, Colorado, in 1921.
After residing in Kansas and Chautauqua, New York, Ella, in 1930, was living near her daughter and son-in-law (Pauline and Stanley Ferguson) in Alhambra, Los Angeles County, California, She died there on March 29, 1932.

Olivia Wilde covers the October 2013 issue of Allure magazine. The actress' photo shoot was inspired by her upcoming film "Rush," which also stars Chris Hemsworth. The film centers around Nascar racers in the 1970s.
"I've thought for a long time that my body type would have worked well in the '70s," she tells Allure. "The idea that you could be a broad-shouldered, small-breasted woman and still wear really great outfits."
Wilde willingly talks about her fiance Jason Sudeikis and their upcoming wedding plans.
"Jason is fantastic with children," she said, adding that she is "slowly developing" their wedding plans. She wants a "funny, silly wedding," she said. "I trust everyone to not leak any information. I just hope no one ends up flying a stupid helicopter over it or anything dumb like that."

Hallgren v. Fry, 2013 BCCA 15 – 2013/01/15
The issues on appeal were settled prior to the hearing. The cross appeal from a Supreme Court order concerning the division of family assets and spousal support is allowed in part. The trial judge made an error in principle in his valuation of the husband's professional corporation. Fairness required the value of its short term investments to be based on investment statements current during the extended trial. The other grounds on the cross appeal are dismissed. The trial judge made no reviewable error in valuing a strata office property, declining to award retroactive spousal support, and refusing to award special costs.
Moradkhan v. Mofidi, 2013 BCCA 132
This appeal, arising from the trial of a matrimonial dispute, concerns the appropriate exercise of a judge's discretion to reopen a trial in order to receive further submissions and evidence after judgment had been delivered. Following a three day summary trial the chambers judge delivered her reasons for judgment on April 15, 2011: 2011 BCSC 485. After release of that judgment, an application to reopen the trial was brought by the appellant wife, Ms. Moradkhan. The application did not complete in the allotted time, and the judge invited the parties to make written submissions. Both parties made additional submissions, including submissions on matters that were not part of the application to reopen. They both filed additional evidence. Based on these additional submissions and evidence, and without a further oral hearing, the judge delivered supplementary reasons for judgment on August 25, 2011, almost entirely replacing her earlier judgment: 2011 BCSC 1157. A final, clarifying judgment was released several months later on May 17, 2012: 2012 BCSC 722. On appeal, the wife argued that the judge's acceptance of further submissions and evidence, and the manner in which the post-trial proceedings were conducted was "procedural mayhem", which led to a result that was profoundly unfair. In her factum, the wife sought an order setting aside the August 25, 2011, judgment. The husband, argued that the judge properly exercised her discretion to reopen the trial. He cross appealed the judge's decision to reapportion the division of family assets in favour of the wife. The judge's decision to reopen and recast almost her entire judgment was an error. The judge also erred in reconsidering and recasting her judgment by adopting an informal procedure that was not procedurally fair to the wife. The wife's appeal was allowed and a new trial was ordered. The cross-appeal was dismissed.
Prpich v. Prpich, 2012 BCSC 1498 – 2012/10/11
Supreme Court
Ouellette v. Ouellette, 2012 BCCA 145 – 2012/04/02
Court of Appeal
Appeal from various aspects of two orders made following a trial dealing with the division of family assets as well as child and spousal support. Held: appeal allowed in part. The trial judge erred in treating a truck owned by the appellant's business as a family asset based on a misapprehension of counsel's concession. He also erred in declining reapportionment of the family home on the basis that he disbelieved the appellant's evidence regarding the extent of renovations to the home; the same factors that supported reapportionment of the business should have been applied to determine that an equal division was unfair. The judge properly declined to consider disposition costs when valuing the business, as the appellant did not intend to sell his interest, making such costs hypothetical and speculative. The judge did not err in determining the respondent was entitled to spousal support, but he made several errors in the calculation of the appellant's income for the purpose of determining spousal and child support.
Brown v. Douglas, 2011 BCCA 521 – 2011/12/16
Court of Appeal
Summary trial judge below had erred in concluding that court had "no evidence" of damage that might possibly be due to alleged misrepresentations made by defendants to plaintiffs. Accordingly, he had erred in dismissing the action. Discussion of "damage" vs. "damages" and obligation of a party responding to an application for summary trial, to take all reasonable steps to prepare his or her case. If not, responding party risks having judgment made against him or her.

Court of Appeal
The appellant alleged three errors in the trial judge's disposition of certain family assets: (a) the finding that the appellant's shares in a company referred to as 812Co had been "customarily and constantly" used for a family purpose, thus making it a family asset; (b) the order that the respondent receive an in specie division of the appellant's shares in 812Co and a company referred to as 412Co; and (c) failing to consider evidence that supported a partial reapportionment of a company referred to as 2002Co. Held: Appeal allowed in part. The evidence did not support a finding that the appellant's shares in 812Co had been customarily and constantly used for a family purpose. The evidence established that dividends from 812Co were used for a family purpose on only two occasions during the eight year marriage which did not satisfy the test of "ordinary use". The other grounds of appeal were dismissed. Objection to the order for an in specie division was raised for the first time on appeal and there was insufficient evidence to decide the issue. Having regard to the disposition of the appeal regarding 812Co, and taking into account the factors to be considered under s. 65 of the Family Relations Act, the decision not to reapportion 2002Co was not unfair.

For more information about the programs below, including assessment, please call (925) 674-4100.
Inpatient Programs
Adult Psychiatric Program
This program focuses on crisis management and prevention for people with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, suicidal tendencies, or other emotional, psychiatric, or behavioral problems.
Inpatient hospitalizations, which usually last five to six days, include individual and group therapy sessions; therapeutic recreational activities such as music, dance, and art; and pastoral care. Patients learn to recognize stressors and develop healthy coping mechanisms.
Patients may be admitted on a voluntary or involuntary basis, but our philosophy is to employ the least restrictive methods possible. That means we don't curtail our patients' privileges any more than absolutely necessary. With a physician's order, patients are generally able to leave the locked unit for brief periods. They are encouraged to enjoy their surroundings and to take advantage of the fully equipped gym.
After leaving the program, patients are encouraged to check in periodically with us, or return as needed to stabilize a crisis situation. At the time of discharge, we refer our patients to our hospital-based outpatient programs or to individual community practitioners for continued treatment.
Outpatient Programs
Adult Partial Hospitalization Program - Concord
The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is an intensive day treatment program for adults 18 years and older who need crisis intervention or short-term stabilization. It also helps people make the transition from inpatient care to home. Patients attend treatment programs from 8:45 AM to 3:30 PM. Transportation to and from the center is available for those living in the Concord area.

Easter dinner isn't the sort of meal we try to rush. The whole point is to savor the food, not sprint through it the way we do most weeknights.
But that doesn't mean we don't appreciate an easy, time-saving trick here and there.
In this case, I've applied an easy technique to both the appetizer and the dessert, an approach that allows cooks to focus on the all-important glazed ham, the roasted vegetables, perhaps a cocktail.
The trick begins with purchased frozen phyllo pastry cups called "fillo shells" that can be found in the freezer section alongside the puff pastry and often near the frozen fruit. They usually come 15 to a box and are fully cooked. They thaw in minutes, so all you need to do is fill each one holds about 1 tablespoon of filling and eat them. However, you may need to bake them depending on your filling.
For the appetizer, we don't even need a recipe. Just transform the classic Easter quiche into bite-size treats.
To do this, heat the oven to 400 degree. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray, then arrange the phyllo cups on it. Fill each cup with 1 to 2 teaspoons of fillings. Chopped cooked meats, chopped vegetables and shredded cheese are great choices.
In a one-cup liquid measuring cup, whisk 1 egg, a splash of water, milk or cream, and a bit of salt and pepper. Carefully pour about 1 teaspoon of the egg mixture over the fillings in each cup. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the egg is puffed and the fillings are lightly browned. That's it. The quiche cups can be served warm or room temperature.
For the dessert, I went with a ridiculously easy and delicious no-cook option creamy lemon-berry tartlets. These are so simple you even could delegate this part of the meal to the kids.
Creamy lemon-berry tartlets
1/2 cup creme fraiche
2 tablespoons purchased lemon curd
Pinch cinnamon
15 frozen baked phyllo cups*
1 cup fresh berries
Powdered sugar, to sprinkle
In a small bowl, whisk together creme fraiche, lemon curd and cinnamon until slightly thickened. Spoon 1 to 2 teaspoons of the mixture into each phyllo cup. The filling should be lightly mounded in the cups, but not overflowing.
Top each cup with several berries, then arrange the cups on a serving platter. Spoon powdered sugar into a mesh strainer, then hold it over the filled cups and gently tap to dust with sugar.
*If the tartlets won't be consumed immediately, you don't need to let the cups thaw before filling. Just proceed with the recipe and by the time they are eaten they will be perfect. You'll usually find jarred lemon curd in with the jams and jellies.
