Young American Heroes
In the Sergeant's arms lies the precisely
folded triangular banner of Red, White and Blue.
In the cargo bay of this giant silver bird lies the
golden casket of his friend and fallen Hero too.
No words can adequately describe the
significations of this unselfish supreme
sacrifice. Bravery, courage, dedication,
and loyalty to God, family and Country.
What more can be asked of a young man,
Whose life has been taken defending
the principles by which we so freely stand.
A loud report of rifles of honor and a moment
of silence…dear hearts can hardly bear.
High on this wind swept hill drifts the melancholy
echo of taps suspended in the cool Autumn air.
Here in this hallowed ground, lies another
young American Hero for whom the bells toll.
May we never forget his ultimate contribution
to the cost of freedom's goals.
May that Red, White and Blue banner always fly in
America's sky…for the cost in young American
Heroes continues to be tragically high.

Lorri Olan
As a Regional Representative, Olan will serve as a liaison and resource to the city groups and law school consortia in the Mid-Atlantic region. Representatives are charged with gathering employment trends and fluctuations from regional members, and assessing the types of information and training desired by recruiters and counselors alike. In the end, this knowledge is shared with the region and NALP's Board of Directors. Representatives also welcome new members and help identify potential volunteers for NALP workgroups and leadership positions.
"I hope my role on the Regional Resource Council will encourage employers to recruit W&L Law students and educate the region about our innovative third-year curriculum," says Olan. "I love working with colleagues and firmly believe that sharing resources, ideas, programming, and counseling strategies is imperative for our students' success in this tight job market."
One of Olan's projects with the Council will be compiling a list of law school consortia best practices on how to support each other regionally and share training and professional development programming.
Olan joined the Career Planning office at Washington and Lee in 2007. She received her J.D. from Northeastern University, after which she clerked for the Massachusetts Superior Court before relocating to Virginia. She previously served as the Executive Director of Project Horizon, a nonprofit domestic violence and sexual assault agency, in Lexington, and as a clerk for two judges on the Court of Appeals of Virginia.Email This Page

"My mother-in-law wanted a conventional announcement-type and this was perfect. We would have preferred that this was not a post-card style, so we were able to work with the design team to remove the mailing portion on the back so that we could place these in envelopes. They came out beautifully! Actually, the cards themselves, the customer service and the ease of ordering all exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this card type and Wedding Paper Divas themselves."
"I received my elopement announcements yesterday in the mail. Just beautiful...awesome quality. Service was speedy and perfect! Thank you!"
"Loved this cute little post card for a simple announcement, liked the design, happy with our order as is. Good paper quality, colors are true to online example. Great product, will be ordering invites."
"This site makes doing your invitations super easy and affordable. We were beyond impressed with the quality we received. We will absolutely be using Wedding Paper Divas again!"
"These cards are great, both in design and picture quality. They have a clean, cheerful, modern look. My only gripe was there is only a small place on the return address space so most standard address labels don't fit. I ordered a custom small address stamp instead."

In the second half of 2011, the twists and turns in the eurozone crisis dominated global markets to such an extent that nothing else seemed to matter. This remained true in January and February of this year, when the strong rally in peripheral bond spreads in the eurozone coincided with an equally strong rally in global equities. But in recent weeks, the umbilical link between the eurozone crisis and global risk assets seems to have broken down. As the graph shows, peripheral bond spreads (proxied by the average of Spanish and Italian spreads over German bunds) have returned towards crisis mode, while global equities have fallen only slightly.

Neither side inspires much confidence when it comes to the postseason. The Lions (11-5) rarely make it, and then go out right away. Dallas (12-4) has been a shell of the franchise that Tom Landry and then Jimmy Johnson coached.
History won't matter in this one. Even with Ndamukong Suh cleared to play after his one-game suspension was changed to a $70,000 fine, Detroit's defense will get burned by Tony Romo, DeMarco Murray, Jason Witten and Dez Bryant. No contest.

I enjoyed visiting your cafe. The food was good and the buttermilk pie was fantastic. Your staff was frendly and very pleasant which is a recipe for success.
I just found out about your restruant while reading the news paper about free meals for veterans. My friend and I decided to come for the free veterans lunch. We both enjoy are meals very much. You have diffently gain two new customers. Thanks for the great food and service.
Hi, I am from Michigan and love the movie and stopped in took pictures and loved the food! First time eating Fried Green Tomatoes and they were yummy!! Bought me a cook book, and some batter but I just know when I make them they won't be as good as sitting in your diner eating them!
Ate at Irondale Cafe for the first time today. It won't be my last. The fried green tomatoes, cornbread and tea were excellent. The service was wonderful as well.
WOW! Jim ...just stumbled across this guestbook while checking out Break'n Bread local event and see you will be a participant there today. Have never ever had the wonderful sounding green tomato parmesan; but will be coming by soon in hopes it is on that day's menu. I am an Irondale Realtor and feature your home page on all my area listings
My husband & I ate at your cafe today for the first time. It was a wonderful meal, especially the fried green tomatoes & blackberry cobbler....YUM! This was the perfect topping for a beautiful October day in Irondale, AL.
Hello, My friend brought me and my daughter and new grandson of only 12 days old to the Cafe' monday sept 27th for my birthday. I love the movie fried green tomatoes, but never knew about the real whistle stop!!! I was thrilled to find out this was that cafe'! The food was more than words can say- all that comes to my mind is "pure Heaven!" I recomend that everyone stop by and try the spectacular food. The dinning experience was truly wonderful, I plan to take my Dad on his 69th birthday, I am sure my parents will appreciate it as much as I did!!!:)
My Husband and I loved the food. everything was GRAND! My Children are wanting to go to the resturant after they found out that we had gone there. It was so good. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YA'LL.
Hello Whistle Stop, I watched the movie regularly and will stop by next time I am in those parts.. thanks for keeping the ye old southern style alive in the American hearts.
It has a great selection for vegetarian meals. I'm so glad for that!
Loved the famous Fried Green Tomatoes - no wonder they are such a hit! Would love to know where you can get self-rising cornmeal. I bought the recipe book and made many items but those that ask for self rising cornmeal!
Excellent fried chicken, fried green tomatoes and corn bread!!!!
Great Food & Great Service!
Loved the food, advice for travel and friendliness!!! Australia
Just at at your establishment yesterday. As always, the food was wonderful!! Reminds me of my late mothers cooking. She was from Walker County, along with my father and numerous relatives. When in B'ham we ALWAYS frequent Irondale cafe. When I leave I do wish I were hungry all over so I could eat again. My favorite place!!! Your hostess/cashier gave me your e-mail to ask if I could perhaps get the recipe for the fried green tomato parmesean that was served on the menu 05/10/2010. It was the best and I am begging for the recipe. It will stay with me written into my book of faves. Please let me know. Your restaurant is the best!!! Sincerely, Luana Smothers email@example.com
I just watched the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" for the first time tonight. I was so impressed with the story, I've spent the past hour and a half researching the author, Fannie Flagg, trying to figure out the motivation and inspiration behind the original book. I never knew the lady I grew up watching on "The Match Game" went on to write such a heartwarming and enjoyable story. Anyhow, I hope to someday make it down to Alabama from my home in the Midwest, visit the Irondale Cafe (the impetus behind the book), try some blackberry cobbler and, of course, have a hearty helping of your fried green tomatoes!
If you love the book and the movie this is a stop worth making. I along with some friends were in Birmingham for a concert and stumbled upon the Irondale Cafe when looking for a place to eat dinner. The cafe had closed for the evening, but it was a destination stop for us the next day before heading home to Tennessee. If you love southern cooking you will love the Irondale Cafe including the fried green tomatoes. The food, service and atmosphere were wonderful. Thank you for a great experience! Erin, Chattanooga, TN
We ate lunch at the Irondale Cafe Saturday. The food was absolutely delicious and the service outstanding. Mr. Dolan told me to write him and he would give me his recipe for the White Vinegar Sauce. Please...... I followed his instructions regarding your Ranch Salad Dressing...and it is delicious. Thank you. We will be visiting your restaurant again....it's great!
I'm planning on coming through B'ham this weekend and look forward to stopping at your place. We used to swing by when I was in high school in the 1960's. I hope you haven't fixed up the place too much.

I am a newcomer at coding department, and would like to know if it is a good idea to create a top down shooter in pygame. I went through a couple of python tutorials about 1 year ago, but got frustrated and quit upon being faced with problems which I couldn't solve by myself at that time. Recently I stumbled upon stencyl, which has revitalised my interest in coding and game development, but since stencyl is using flash, there is only a limited amount of memory that could be allocated to things like AI and other algorithms, and after creating multiple enemies with even a basic AI (turn in the direction closest to the player, then walk towards player) the fps drops substantially. Since I'm already hooked on the project I'd rather port the basic mechanics to another language and see where I can go from there, instead of abandoning it altogether.
The idea is to make a 2d top down shooter with roguelike elements (semi -random level generation, semi-random loot, rpg-like character progression, permament death) and a high difficulty curve, as well as trying to maintain a retro feel. I was wondering if it is feasible to give python (and pygame) a shot, or should I rather work with an API such as Unity?
Sorry for the long post, and thank you in advance.

Icy conditions cause cars to slide off freeway in Abbotsford
Icy conditions along Highway 1 in Abbotsford resulted in a roll-over near the McCallum Road exit.
Icy conditions resulted in several cars sliding off the road along Highway 1 in Abbotsford early Friday morning.
It is estimated that about a dozen cars were affected in the eastbound lanes between Mt. Lehman Road and No. 3 Road throughout the morning, starting at about 3 a.m. This included a roll-over at McCallum Road and a car in the median at Mt. Lehman.
The last incident took place at about 7 a.m., but clearing away the cars resulted in major back-ups along the freeway during the morning commute.

I have been battling long time to create a full screen website. After experimenting and researching looks like using JQuery is the best way to design one.
Just to make sure. Is using JQuery really the best way?
If so is there any tutorials I can base my website? (I have been searching on Google but I can't find any good tutorials)
Finally this tutorial for full screen website created using jQuery, as the user scrolls the web address changes. Many other websites has the same looks but the web address does not change. What are the pros and cons? (I don't want my website to do that...)
JavaScript or JQuery is use for behavior.CSS is use for layout.
I think you are referring to CSS for layout for design?
OK... I am spiraling down... More and more I research and learn it seems more difficult...
Please explain in detail how to create a full screen website... (I have been trying to create one only using HTML and CSS but it does not seem very practical)
If it seems difficult, that's because it is difficult (well, at least to do it right).
There are many facets at play with such a site and to learn how to get to the finished product you need to get a very good grasp at HTML, CSS and javascript, then jquery.
First I would create a very simple 2 content div HTML file (no css or javascript at this point) - then validateThen add CSS to get it to look OK (would be a longer page that could be scrolled) - then validateThen add javascript/jquery to hide/show the divs - then check for errors
After you get that working it would be fairly easy to add more content divs
Do have any development files you're working on so far?
You really need to clarify what you actually want to do. What kind of content does the site really need to present and in what way? Why are you so attached to this idea, which will probably be more confusing for users and introduce unnecessary accessibility issues? Make sure you have reasoned answers to questions like this. Users don't care how cool your site looks. Indeed, what seems cool to you is probably an annoyance to them, as it usually makes information harder to access—which is the reason they've come to your site.
Sorry I should have been more clear.
I am building the website to just have fun and learn and maybe use it as a public portfolio in the long distant future...Basically I don't expect people to visit. Haha
I made a basic 2 minutes mock up:
So, this is the basic full screen website I want to create. I will be refining the information (I just copied from wiki for now) and formatting.Each images (only two for now) will take full screen on: around 16:9 desktop screens.
First question for you. How would you want to display the images on monitors with wider resolution? White space on the sides?
If I understand what you want correctly you should only need to set the page background as fixed using your images in CSS and have the content within it scrollable?
No, no white spaces. It has to be full screen meaning the image must take all the space on common widescreen screens with widescreen ratios.
Do you mean: I merge those two images into one image file and make the browsers to load one whole image?If so that would increase the loading speed significantly...
This might help you understand my design. (Treat each image as a slide)(But this way the browser is constantly requesting different webpage files. I don't think this is a good idea)
I think I have set the goals to high but I seem to be getting somewhere!
There are no additional page requests. It's simply a fragment identifier for an in page link.
First slide
That normally just sends you to an id in that same page of firstPage. No additional page loads are required. The author is using that method so that the back button takes you back to the previous slide as you would if they were separate pages. In the documentation there are examples without using anchors.

"Since the late 1980s, public-health authorities have known that four primary influenza strains circulate each year causing the majority of influenza illness, but the influenza vaccines used for the past thirty years only covered against three strains," said Dr. Leonard Friedland, V.P., Director, Scientific Affairs and Public Health, GSK Vaccines North America. "With this limitation, global influenza experts have had to make a difficult determination around the strains each season to cover, and in six of the past 11 influenza seasons (2001-2012), one of the predominant strains was not included in the season's influenza vaccines. Trivalent vaccines do reduce influenza risk even in years when a vaccine strain-mismatch occurs, though quadrivalent influenza vaccines are the important next step in broadening strain coverage."
Scientists classify the influenza strains that cause seasonal influenza as A or B strains. Influenza vaccines have been used in the U.S. for more than fifty years, most recently in the trivalent (three-strain) form to help protect against the two A virus strains most common in humans and the B strain expected to be predominant in a given year. Yet two distinct B virus strains (Victoria and Yamagata) co-circulate to varying degrees each influenza season. FluLaval Quadrivalent helps protect against the two A strains and B strains, decreasing influenza-related morbidity across all age groups children, adults and the elderly.
Beginning in 2014, GSK will have the capacity to supply the U.S. substantial quantities of quadrivalent influenza vaccine shots manufactured in Quebec, Canada (FluLaval Quadrivalent); and Dresden, Germany/Marietta, Pa. (Fluarix Quadrivalent). Additionally, today's approval marks the first time that all GSK influenza vaccine shots are approved for use by the FDA for children three years of age and older as well as for adults. FluLaval Trivalent vaccine was previously limited for administration to individuals 18 and older. The availability of FluLaval Quadrivalent gives GSK the capability to meet the needs of healthcare providers who prefer to stock multi-dose vials of influenza vaccines. FluLaval Quadrivalent will be available in multi-dose vials, while Fluarix Quadrivalent is available in pre-filled syringes.
GSK anticipates making a limited amount of FluLaval Quadrivalent available this influenza season and will immediately begin taking order reservations on http://gskvaccinesdirect.com. Most healthcare providers order influenza vaccine months ahead of the current season, though some in season demand typically occurs. FluLaval Quadrivalent is not currently approved or licensed in any country outside of the U.S. The full U.S. Prescribing Information will be available on http://www.gsk.com/products/index.htm.
For a link to the GSK FluLaval Quadrivalent electronic press kit, U.S. journalists can click here.
About Seasonal InfluenzaSeasonal influenza may cause three to five million cases of severe illness and up to 500,000 deaths per year worldwide. Vaccination against influenza is considered one of the most effective ways of preventing mortality, complications and hospitalizations. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that children six months of age and older and adults receive an influenza shot annually. More information about seasonal influenza can be found at http://flu.gov and http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/flu-season-2012-2013.htm.
Important Safety Information for FluLaval Quadrivalent FluLaval Quadrivalent is a vaccine indicated for active immunization for the prevention of disease caused by influenza A subtype viruses and type B viruses contained in the vaccine. FluLaval Quadrivalent is approved for use in persons 3 years of age and older.

Alfred Hitchcock
Music to Be Murdered By
(Imperial Records #9052; 1958)
Sadly, I'm still on the lookout for a decent copy of this one (I believe there is a CD, but I'd rather have trusty old vinyl), but from what I understand it's largely a collection of vaguely menacing mood music. Hitchcock does wry intros for each track, and I've tracked down a couple of those.
Side 1 intro
Side 2 intro
From the liner notes: "These days a murder is amusing for the onlookers and the murderer but no one thinks of making things pleasant for the victim. He may be a tiresome bore but he is still rather essential and is entitled to some consideration. Music, I feel, will heighten his appreciation and make his own murder the truly ennobling experience it should be."

Alumni Profile
Alexis T. Shenfil Smart, SIS/MS '12
Why I chose SIS:
The range of courses offered in the International Development program provided technical skills in project and program design, management and evaluation. I was particularly swayed by the practicum component, which allowed students to work in the field with a development organization.
How I make a difference in the world:
After graduation, I became a technical officer for Root Change, a non-profit that produces strategies and tools for organizational capacity development, innovation identification and network strengthening. I help to coordinate and manage several projects that strengthen the capacity and social capital of civil society organizations and social entrepreneurs in developing countries.
One example of a tool that I helped to launch is our online, network-mapping platform, which allows organizations to map real-time relationships with others in various social sectors and immediately see a visualization of the ecosystem where they work. This tool helps organizations identify influential actors and strategic partnerships, minimize duplication of efforts, improve program performance, and diagnose bottlenecks and gaps in information and resource flows. We have pilots in Mexico, Central America, East Africa and Serbia.
Field of Study:
Development Management, with a focus on project and program management, and community and livelihood development
SIS activities:
I was Communications Coordinator for the International Development Program Student Association. I helped to alert ID graduate students about relevant events and activities happening on and off campus; and I supported the Friday Forum Series, which brought academics and practitioners to campus to discuss the latest thinking and trends in international development research.
English and Spanish
World Issues of Interest:
Poverty alleviation, livelihood development, social enterprise, organizational capacity development, technology and development.
Professional role model:
My mom. As director of the Human Services Department for the city of Fremont, Calif., she manages community-based programs and services that strengthen neighborhoods and help individuals and families become self-sufficient. She is a savvy fundraiser, an active networker and an excellent manager who inspired me to make a difference in the world. She is also one of my biggest supporters, to whom I owe much of my confidence and professional drive.
Favorite Book:
Gregory David Roberts' Shantaram, about a convict who escapes a prison in Australia and flees to Bombay, where he starts a medical clinic in a slum and serves an apprenticeship with the Bombay mafia.
Favorite Movie:
My favorite movie of 2012 was "The Intouchables," a French dramatic comedy about a Parisian aristocrat who after becoming a quadriplegic from a paragliding accident hires a young Senegalese man from the projects to be his caretaker.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. - A Northern California couple might be able to blame this one on the dog.
Authorities say sun refracted off the dog's shiny water bowl and ignited a fire at Terry and Shay Weisbrich's Santa Rosa home on Wednesday afternoon.
The fire was quickly put out, but it left a hole in the siding.
The Press Democrat of Santa Rosa reports that a fire department engineer helped discover the dog bowl's role in the fire.
Rene Torres returned the bowl to its original position during his investigation of the fire's cause. He found it concentrated light right on the area of the home that was charred.
The Press Democrat says the couple's dog, Toby, had a replacement bowl by the evening.

Very Satisfied
I got this wonderful new coffee machine as a gift and I've gotta say that I'm really happy with it. No more full pots of coffee going to waste because I can't either drink it all or it goes cold before I get to it.This machine is detail oriented and does exactly what it's asked every time. Keeps coffee hot for hours and taste is very consistant.I found that if I feel like 8 cups of coffee one day, than I'll fill it with 8 cups of water and turn the coffee grind dial to 6 cups and the strength to "mild" for a perfect cup of coffee.If I feel like a stronger more bold cup of coffee than with a one touch button I'll use the "med" setting instead. I clean the grind chute about every 7 times, or once a week and it's always made excellent coffee for me. No more grinding coffee beans for the freshest coffee anymore, this machine does it all!!My beloved and loyal Bodum coffee machine has been officially placed into storage.Read More
Best coffee Maker I've ever had
I had the previous model to this and the grinder broke after a year. I found out that it was common and Cuisinart redesigned with a new Burr grinder which is more durable and grinds the coffee better. Also love that this model has a bin to hold a 1/2 lb of beans. One less step to make coffee every day!! If you are a coffee-person, you will love this machine.Read More
coffee pot
I have used the cuisinart 12 cup grind and brew for several years. I love the convenience of a self grind machine. It gives us fresh coffee each morning. In fact the grinding is our alarm clock many mornings. I love the thermos carafe too. Coffee is fresh to the last cup. No burnt coffee taste after sitting awhile. This is our second pot in about 5 yrs. so the only down side is that they don't last a really long time. Otherwise, it is the best coffee system I've ever owned.Read More
Manual a must
After reading the complete manual I am thoroughly satisfied with this product. Whatever you do - don't forget to empty grounds or to change the water amount. This machine calls for focus, and I need that. Great looking!Read More

The devastated parents of a baby who died after allegedly being beaten by her nanny have said they are going through "unimaginable pain and suffering".
Rehma Sabir died in hospital in America two days after her first birthday, and is said to have suffered severe brain damage caused by head injuries while in the care of her nanny.
Her British born father, Sameer Sabir from Thornton Heath, and his wife Nada Siddiqui have been comforted by relatives since Reema's death in hospital on January 16.
Mr Sabir's parents Seema and Naveed were in the US at the time of the tragedy after flying from their Thornton Heath home to Boston, Massachusetts, to celebrate their granddaughter's birthday.
Mr Sabir, a UCL graduate who attended Whitgift School, moved to the US from Croydon four years ago.
He is understood to have visited London just weeks before the death of his baby, when attending the wedding of a family friend.
Neighbours of his parents say Rehma was "normal and healthy" when they saw her in November.
Sameena Chaudhary, 59, who is a friend of the Sabir family and lives on their street in Thornton Heath, said: "Rehma seemed a normal, healthy baby. Sameer and his wife are wonderful parents.
"They are a very close family and Seema and Naveed often travel to Boston to see them, they were proud grandparents. We are all praying for Rehma- they are all in shock, deeply.
"We can't speak to them because they are so upset. We can't think how it happened, it is shocking news."
It is understood Mr Sabir's parents were due back in London last Wednesday, but delayed their return to comfort the couple.
Another neighbour, who did not want to be named, said it was very sad news for the family.
Irish nanny Aisling McCarthy Brady, who had looked after Rehma for six months, has been charged with assault and battery.
The 34-year-old denied all charges when she appeared in court last week.
Police were called to Mr Sabir's home just before 5pm on January 14, after Ms McCarthy Brady who is from Lavey, in the Irish Republic, called emergency services.
Rehma was found unconscious and was taken to hospital, where she was treated for bleeding to her brain and eyes. She died of her injuries two days later.
A neighbour reported hearing screaming from the house for an hour and a half before it fell silent. Investigators have revealed a blood-stained pillow, blanket and baby wipes were found in the Rehma's bedroom.
US prosecutors spoke of the "pain and sorrow" the family were enduring.
A statement by the Middlesex district attorney said: "The family of this child is going through unimaginable pain and suffering.
"Very few can fully understand the sorrow and pain that they are enduring, and we all need to allow them the appropriate time and support they require to cope with this tragedy."
It has emerged Ms McCarthy Brady was allegedly in the US illegally and has a history of violence.
In 2005 her boyfriend filed a restraining order against her for attacking him and two years later she was accused of attacking a woman.

Man accused of buying others' SNAP cards
Published: Wednesday, December 11, 2013 at 8:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 11, 2013 at 8:29 p.m.
A Gainesville man accused of paying cash for food assistance cards at a reduced cost and then using them to buy groceries was arrested by the Alachua County Sheriff's Office Wednesday.
Greg Liuzzo, 55, of 4816 SW 80th Place, was charged following an undercover investigation that began when authorities got a tip that he was buying Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) cards, sheriff's spokesman Art Forgey said.
"He was buying SNAP cards from people for half or less of what was on the cards and he would go purchase his own groceries on them," Forgey said. "We got turned onto it and started an undercover investigation, and used the state's help on it. It's been going on since September."
A search warrant was served on Liuzzo at his home, charging him with aiding and abetting public fraud, obtaining property by false personation, misrepresenting personal identification information and racketeering.
Forgey did not have a total value of the fraud but said it will be substantial.
A transaction outlined in his arrest report states Liuzzo paid $50 for a card that had $100 left on it. He used it at the Publix on Williston Road to buy groceries.
In another transaction, he reportedly bought a card with $200 in credit on it for $100. He is accused of buying items from a Sam's Club in Melbourne with one of the cards.
Forgey added additional arrests are possible, noting that selling the cards is illegal.
"I think the people that were selling the cards were committing fraud too," Forgey said. "(Detectives) have several people identified who were doing that, so I anticipate additional arrests."
Liuzzo often returned the cards to the people to whom they were issued so they could be reloaded and bought again by Liuzzo, Forgey added.
SNAP, originally known as the food stamp program, was instituted in 1939. It allows individuals or families to buy nourishing food they might not otherwise be able to afford. The benefit each recipient receives is based on family size, income and assets.

AN INVESTIGATION has begun into a data leak blunder involving the personal details of 1,900 housing benefit claimants in Basingstoke and Deane.
The information, which includes each claimant's name, address and National Insurance number, was accidentally released by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council to a person who made a Freedom of Information (FOI) request. No bank details were released.
The borough council has written letters of apology to those affected, warning them that their personal details have been released, and offering advice on how to combat fraud.
It has also said it will carry out an investigation and has referred the leak to Hampshire Constabulary and the Information Commiss-ioner's Office (ICO).
David Murphy, from the ICO, confirmed the watchdog is looking into the potential breach of data protection laws, and said potential outcomes could include issuing an enforcement notice or imposing a fine of up to £500,000.
He said: "The first job is to investigate and find out what happened, and then to find out what appropriate action to take at the end of it.
"Not releasing bank details is not necessarily a reason for this not to be considered a serious case."
The mystery person making the FOI request had asked for information about people who claim housing benefit, and who also rent a property from a private landlord.
The borough council said the personal information was sent in reply by mistake. The council has not been able to contact the person who received the information since the mistake was spotted.
A 47-year-old woman, who did not want to be named, received a letter from the borough council to say her details had been released.
She said: "I am worried and I am annoyed as well – there is a risk of identity fraud. I called them (the borough council) straight away and they listed what to do to protect myself. They have said they are willing to pay for us to sign up to the UK's Fraud Prevention Service and they are saying they will pay for everybody. They are obviously very worried and they were very apologetic on the phone."
Laura Taylor, director of governance and commissioning at the borough council, said: "I am very sorry that this mistake has happened and for the inconvenience and distress this may cause.
"We take the security of personal information extre-mely seriously and we get a high volume of Freedom of Information requests."

For the first time, EU Commissioner for Science and Research Janez Potočnik will pay an official visit to the African Union and Kenya. From 7 to 9 September, he will hold high-level political meetings and will visit EU-supported research centres in Nairobi (Kenya) and in Addis-Ababa (Ethiopia). This visit takes place in the framework of the Science & Technology Partnership established between the African Union (AU) and the European Union (EU) in December 2007. This unique partnership between two continents aims to strengthen African research capacity in the area of science and technology, enabling Africa to produce and to use its own scientific knowledge to address its development challenges and emerge on the global scientific scene.
EU Trade Commissioner Catherine Ashton will visit China from the 6th to 11th of September on a trip that includes the cities of Beijing and Xiamen. She visits China to further discussions on trade and investment issues in her capacity as co-chair of the EU-China High Level Economic and Trade Dialogue (HED). Commissioner Ashton will raise issues such as barriers to investment, protection for intellectual property and cooperation on trade and investment in green technologies. Commissioner Ashton will speak at the China International Fair for Investment and Trade while in Xiamen, and will meet with Chinese leaders in Beijing, including Vice Premier Wang Qishan and Commerce Minister Chen Deming.
The Commission adopted today a report on the use of the provisions on mutual assistance for recovery of claims relating to certain levies, duties, taxes and other measures between 2005 and 2008. The statistics show an increase in the amounts of tax due recovered through the procedures of mutual assistance between Member States. The amounts grew six fold between 2003 and 2008. However, the amounts actually recovered are still deceivingly low in comparison with the amounts Member States claim to recover. Although it is very difficult to quantify, the available figures show that only 5% of the amounts claimed are actually recovered. In addition, in spite of the increase in the use of mutual assistance, there are still many cases where Member States do not avail of the possibilities offered by the Directive. Therefore, the Commission recommends Member States to strengthen the recovery instruments available in their domestic legislation and invites the Council and the Parliament to adopt quickly the legislative proposal, presented on 2 February 2009, to reinforce mutual recovery assistance. For more information: http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/taxation/tax_cooperation/tax_recovery/index_en.htm
The European Commission has granted clearance under the EU Merger Regulation to the acquisition of joint control of Manucor S.p.A. of Italy by Italian companies Intesa San Paolo S.p.A. (ISP) and Reno de Medici (RDM). ISP provides banking services at national and international level. RDM produces and sells cardboard made from recycled materials.

(OneCarbon) of The Netherlands by Orbeo, a joint venture controlled by Société Générale and Rhodia of France.

AVT buys emission reduction credits issued by greenhouse gas emission reduction projects and sells related credits to trading partners. Orbeo is active in trading of carbon emission rights, especially certified emission reduction (CER) and European Union allowance (EUA) instruments. The operation was examined under the simplified merger review procedure.
Today, President Barroso has sent his political guidelines for the mandate of the next European Commission to the President of the European Parliament. The document sets out the objectives and ideas that President Barroso believes should inspire a political partnership between the Commission and the Parliament for the next five years. President Barroso said: "Europe is facing stark choices in today's interdependent world. Either we work together to rise to the challenges. Or we condemn ourselves to irrelevance. I will redouble my efforts to make an ambitious Europe happen. A Europe that puts people at the heart of the policy agenda and projects European values and interests in the world. A Europe that nurtures new sources of growth and drives forward smart regulation of sound markets that work for people. A Europe of freedom and solidarity." President Barroso added: "I want to work closely with the Parliament for a prosperous, secure and sustainable Europe, which builds on the strengths of the enlarged EU's internal market, the euro and our European model of society."
The European Commission tabled yesterday its proposal on fishing possibilities for fish stocks in the Baltic Sea for 2010. Scientific advice has shown that cod stocks are recovering, but that the Western herring stock still gives rise to serious concern. Based on the advice and in line with the communication on fishing opportunities for 2010 and the multi-annual plan for cod in the Baltic Sea, the Commission proposes increases of fishing opportunities for Baltic cod of 15 % (Eastern stock) and 9 % (Western stock). For the Western herring stock, the Commission is proposing a 21 % reduction in fishing opportunities. The present proposal for fishing possibilities shall be discussed at the October Fisheries Council.

Jordanian Women's Rights Activists Protest for Citizenship Rights
Jordanian mothers and women's rights supporters are not backing out from their rights to pass their nationality to their children.
Activists demanding citizenship rights for their children pledged on Sunday to demonstrate every week in front of the Prime Ministry until they receive a response from the government.
Nimat Habashneh, who is heading a campaign to amend the Citizenship Law so that children of Jordanian women married to foreigners can receive citizenship at birth, yesterday said the government had been very slow in responding to their demands.
"Everyone was dismayed by the premier's remarks in a local daily last week that now is not the right time to give citizenship to the children of Jordanian women married to non-Jordanians," she said.
"Our slogan is: 'Now is the right time to give the citizenship to our children.' We really wonder why the government is doing this and who decides when is the right or wrong time for this," the activist told The Jordan Times.
"To us it is always the right time for the government to grant us our civil rights," added Habashneh, who has led 18 sit-ins since last March.
The main demand of the group of activists, who demonstrated at the Prime Ministry Sunday, is a new Citizenship Law that would consider a newborn Jordanian if either the father or the mother is Jordanian.
Habashneh said she met with a government official at the Prime Ministry during yesterday's demonstration and pledged to hold weekly protests until "we receive an answer from the government regarding our legitimate demands".
Um Shadi, a mother of five and one of dozens of women and activists who participated in the demonstration, said her family is suffering greatly because her children are not considered Jordanians.
"I have to pay JD40 for each of my children to go to a government school and when they graduate they will have to pay JD270 to get a work permit," she told The Jordan Times.
Another woman, who declined to give her name, complained that in addition to the fees her children have to pay for work permits, "most of their requests to obtain driver's licences are turned down by the authorities because they are not Jordanians".
In January, activists said the Prime Ministry had informed them that it had sent a memo to the interior ministry to consider meeting their main demand.
"The officials informed me that they are still waiting for answers from the interior ministry," Habashneh noted.
Also among the activists' demands is including the word "gender" in Article 6 of the Constitution, which stipulates that "there shall be no discrimination between Jordanians as regards to their rights and duties on grounds of race, language or religion".
Women's rights activists had received assurances from the Royal Committee on Constitutional Review panel members that the word "gender" would be included in Article 6, but the word was excluded from the final draft that was handed to His Majesty King Abdullah, for reasons observers say were "political".
Activists have stressed the importance of having the word "gender" included, as "it will make all articles in the Constitution clear and nondiscriminatory, and ensure justice for Jordanian women".
The exclusion of the word "gender" also means that Jordanian women cannot file lawsuits at the projected constitutional court to demand their full citizenship rights, they noted.
Minister of State for Media Affairs and Communications Rakan Majali was unavailable yesterday to comment on the issue.
The group also wants the government to lift Jordan's reservations on Article 9 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, which calls on member countries to give women the same citizenship rights as men.
Jordan, like most Arab countries, links nationality to blood relation from the father's side.
Tunisia had for a long time been the only country that gave men and women equal nationality rights with few other countries responding to continued campaigns for the regulation to be changed, Agence France-Presse reported.
But in 2005, Algeria amended its nationality law, giving women the right to pass citizenship to their foreign husbands and children, and in 2007, Morocco said the children of Moroccan women will automatically get the nationality, while foreign husbands can demand the citizenship after five years of marriage and residency in the country, AFP reported.
Egypt followed suit giving women the right to pass their citizenship to their children, while the campaign continues in many other Arab countries
Last week, the UAE president issued a decree granting citizenship to more than 1,000 children of Emirati women married to foreigners, AFP said, citing the official WAM news agency.
Citizenship was granted to 1,117 children of UAE women married to foreigners "who satisfied requirements for citizenship", WAM reported, adding that the children will receive full citizenship when they reach the age of 18.

Man's body found in ditch near Canada-U.S. border
Canadian border authorities at the Aldergrove crossing notified their American counterparts, after spotting a body in a muddy ditch on the U.S. side of the border on Thursday, June 5.
Whatcom County has identified the man as Suleman Jivani, 44, who had ties to both Atlanta and Vancouver.
It is unknown what the man, who is not a citizen of either country, was doing in the corn field or in the ditch, but a coroner said his body had been there for around three weeks. The death is considered an accident.
The ditches in that area are very wide and can be deep.

Topic: SIRT results
Hello- Mom had SIRT 5 weeks ago. She has one inoperable tumor (5cm) that had already shrunk 20% from 3 cycles of gem/cis.
Dr. M called
He said I had the best results they could hope for with this radiation treatment. He believes all areas were hit including right lobe blood supply. He doesn't feel I need chemo embo at this time so he wants to wait for another scan in 2 months and evaluate then. He said to go and enjoy my trip . Liver is recouping from radiation. I should make appt. with Dr. H who will probably start chemo again and I can have embolization while on chemo if I need it. He also said a true picture of results is 3-6 months out from treatment. Significant portion of tumor is dead so this is great!
We are very happy! I'm assuming that it will be a different chemo than the gem/cis- hopefully one that is not quite as harsh.

It took a Senate committee about three hours to discuss and amend a $955 billion farm bill before approving it with a 15-5 vote on May 14.
Unofficially the goal is to send the bill to the full Senate immediately so that the chamber can have a final vote on the legislation before the Memorial Day recess, said Robert Guenther, senior vice president for public policy for the United Fresh Produce Association, Washington, D.C.
"I think there is better than an even chance they will get it to the floor (of the Senate) next week," Guenther said after the May 14 vote by the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry.
"It is almost identical to the 2012 (Senate) version of the bill. No surprises in terms of fresh produce programs. Overall we are supportive of the bill."
The U.S. House committee on Agriculture is scheduled to begin discussions of its version of the 2013 farm bill May 15. The lower chamber is expected to take longer with the bill at the committee level than the Senate did, but Guenther said the unspoken goal in both chambers is to finish work on the farm bill as quickly as possible so Congress can focus on immigration reform.
"The House anticipates going to the floor (with its version of the farm bill) in June," Guenther said. "That sets a timeline up for it to go to a conference committee in late July or August with final approval possible in September."
If Congress does not approve a new farm bill by Sept. 30, a continuing resolution to maintain funding would be necessary because the current extension expires that day.
Guenther said the funding levels for fresh produce in the 2013 versions from the House and Senate are virtually the same as they have been.
There are a couple of concerns, though, about the Senate's version that Guenther said the fresh produce industry is watching closely.
One concern relates to a section in the Senate bill that would require growers who buy crop insurance to have a conservation plan for the land they are insuring.
Guenther said other commodities have had this requirement previously, but not specialty crops, which include fruits and vegetables. He said United Fresh and other produce industry groups have asked for a cost analysis, but none has been provided yet.
"Until we know more about this provision we can't support it," Guenther said. "We need to know what the financial impact might be and how many growers and acres this would impact."
The other sticking point in the Senate's farm bill as far as fresh produce growers are concerned is a section that could open the door for growers of subsidized commodities such as corn, soybeans, wheat, rice and cotton, to grow fruits and vegetables on their subsidized acres.
Guenther said the fresh produce industry has been successful since 1985 at preventing subsidized growers from planting specialty crops on land subsidized for other commodities.
"It's a question of fairness," Guenther said.
The biggest roadblocks to the farm bill's ultimate passage, Guenther said, are provisions in both the Senate and House versions related to food stamp cuts, reforms of commodity programs and conservation issues.
The Senate version would trim $4 billion from the food stamp program while the House version seeks to cut $20.5 billion from the program during the next 10 years. Increases to subsidies for rice and peanut growers are another sticking point for some lawmakers.
Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., said during the May 14 committee hearing that the commodity provisions in the Senate farm bill amount to "income transfers, not risk management tools."
"This is not a reform bill," Roberts said. "This is a rearview mirror bill."
Guenther said the concerns of the fresh produce industry are not as difficult to negotiate as the food stamp cuts and the commodity provisions.
"Our issues for fresh produce are important, but not unsolvable," Guenther said, stopping short of predicting whether legislators will be able to resolve their differences on non-produce issues.

The applied linguistics concentration prepares students to teach on the college level, conduct research into modern and ancient languages, to consult in multicultural workplaces, and serve in medical, legal, and educational environments. Many students decide to focus to their PhDs by adding a cognate or certificate.
At Ball State, you will working with faculty with a variety of research interests, including Conner Prairie Interactive History Park employees' interactions with visitors and endangered languages in Mexico. Your research might even attract national attention. One of our students received a Fulbright-Hays grant to study Sheng, an urban vernacular common in Nairobi.
Degree Requirements:
ENG 520 Introduction to Linguistics and a graduate research course are prerequisites to the program. Students who have not taken them or done equivalent work must take ENG 520 or an additional 3 credits of ENG 601, but these courses are not included in the 48 credits of course work required for graduation.
