Syria accuses a 19-year-old detained blogger of being a spy, a Syrian official said Monday, the AP reported. Tal al-Mallohi was taken into custody last December. Her blog, known for poetry and social commentary, focuses mostly on Palestinian issues and suffering.
"She was detained on accusation of spying for a foreign country," the Syrian official said. "Her spying led to an attack against a Syrian army officer by the agents of this foreign country."
Her father, Dosar al-Mallohi, told The Associated Press that he and his wife visited their daughter at Doma prison last Thursday and that she was in good health.
Last month, Human Rights Watch called for al-Mallohi's release.

Jusko, Ph.D.Contact InformationPhone NumbersAdministrative: (585) 275-8784Office: (585) 273-2849Fax: (585) 424-1469LocationsPublic Health Sciences265 Crittenden Blvd.Rochester, NYBiographyResearchAs an environmental epidemiologist, Dr. Jusko's research interests concern the environmental causes of human disease. Within this broad area, Dr. Jusko's research primarily focuses on how environmental chemicals contribute to adverse immunological development over the entire lifespan. He is interested in the immune system as both a disease outcome (e.g., asthma, lowered vaccine response, development of autoimmunity), and as a mechanism of susceptibility for other disease outcomes, such as neurobehavioral development. Dr. Jusko is exploring these questions in a diverse set of populations. For instance, he is investigating whether in utero and early postnatal exposure to persistent pollutants is associated with measures of immune system function in a cohort of children in eastern Slovakia. In adults, he is examining whether chemical exposures are associated with antinuclear antibodies (ANA), autoantibodies frequently observed in individuals with systemic autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). He is also a longtime collaborator on the Rochester Lead Study, which examines the potential neurobehavioral effects of early life lead exposure in a cohort of children in Rochester NY, and an NIEHS-led project examining neurodevelopment in a birth cohort of approximately 10,000 mother-infant pairs (the Generation R Study) in relation to in utero exposure to organophosphate pesticide metabolites.CredentialsFaculty AppointmentsAssistant Professor - Department of Environmental Medicine (SMD) Assistant Professor - Department of Public Health Sciences (SMD) - PrimaryEducation2001BS | Cornell UniversityHuman Development2005MS | University of WashingtonEpidemiology2008PhD | University of WashingtonEpidemiologyAwards2014Early Career Travel GrantSponsor: Society of Toxicology2012NIEHS Intramural Paper of the Month (Satoh et al. 2012)2007 - 2009J.

I wanted to post , without criticism, the importance and benefits of the recent posts on the various special/additional needs . There has been information, opinion, ignorance, support and everything in between. I think alot of it has been a positive thing for parents to read as it has educated many of us, highlighted the ignorance of many, helped us to understand differing needs etc. I hope we continue to help eachother in this area and dont get despondent and frustrated by ignorance.There is so much to learn and we all want the best for our communities with differing needs.x
Perhaps not in a creche, but you can seemingly stick 30 chairs and the same amount of children in a classroom and have children of various needs without supports and expect a teacher to be able to be able to teach them all, so basic standards or not things haven't changed very much since the 1990s
I looked at lots of creches and play schools round that time, my eldest is the same age as Adam Harris.I never saw any pre school setting as bad the one videoed and I saw lots of totally unsuitable places.
The other children didn't even look around at first so Adam was distressed a lot, he said himself he was in his own fantasy world a lot of the time and it was other people and noise that distressed him, he also said he had to move around.He was stuck in that tiny room and there were at least eight or nine other children there, I would have had a meltdown too if I had to work in a place like that.How any of the children got an life enhancing experience out of that childcare environment is beyond me, as the videoing went on you could see the other children getting upset, they were very young so no, exposing them to this everyday wasn't good for them.
This was the late 1990s so probably not very much inspection of childcare facilities going on then, it is good that we now have basic standards and you can no longer stick ten chairs in a tiny space and hand children photocopied colouring sheets to occupy themselves .(at least I hope you can't anyway)
I have three children, none with special needs. I work part-time which meant I didn't have to take time off for appointments. Two of them had speech therapy, one had an annual eye appointment, they saw the school dentist when called, one had braces, one had a fairly minor health condition which meant overnight in hospital occasionally. One year I had 26 appointments, with my healthy children. So I can quite see how meeting more needs would be a job in itself.
The hse has just appointed a batch of slts, hopefully this will make at least a small difference to the waiting lists which are outrageous, especially in light of reports into the importance of early intervention. Locally hse therapists have advised parents to attend sessions run by a charity. This costs about 60 euros per session, some parents have medical insurance and some can be claimed on med1. For those who can't pay, there is some grant money from fundraising. Money which should be going to extra services, not core services which the hse is not providing. Then we wonder at the charity funding chaos. My Dd1 will be paying higher rate tax, her salary is in the low thirties. By starting employment partway through the year she has that to look forward to. I think the money spent on the under six cards should have been targeted, but I would have little faith in the ability of the current administration to do that.
Fossmum your talking through your arse again, you know nothing about it
Brilliant post ruru and thank you! People forget the work parents put into their sn children and all the sacrifices- their career, mental health, social life, many marriages fail also. It's done out of love for the kids and determination that they can do the best they can for their kids.
Betty you really don't need to justify or prove what your DCA goes towards. Fossum is like a dog with a bone.
Post Deleted Because: The OP deleted this post
309x12 = 3,708
1100 replace carpets total loss
500 couch also lost (constant bowel movements)
200 clothes (hundreds of knickers)
400 medical visits... nothing found
1000 special toys to help learning
.... I could go on, but the DCA does not even cover the day to day EXTRA costs a disabled child can mount up. I am very lucky that mine is a great kid and very easy to raise, others have costs that makes the DCA look like chump change.
It is such a small amount, paying for the administration, appeals, stress etc it would take to test the parents who are already like bugs under the microscope would not be cost efficient. Like with the children's allowance, if is for the child and should be treated the same way. If you worry about the rich getting to much, just increase taxes, that will get them....
If you read the official document on DCA it is intended to compensate parents for the additional support they give to their disabled child. It is not intended to compensate for poor services. You could say it is a little wage to parents for the extra work they do. Even if a child does not need therapies etc (though most do) the parents are entitled to this allowance. That is why the application is so detailed in terms of the extra care needs of the child. Some children actually do get all their services through the state and still get DCA. Some parents who have to pay for private therapies do NOT ever receive DCA even not well off parents. DCA is not linked to the need for therapies or to low means. It is linked entirely to CARE NEEDS.That is why there is no requirement to account for how it is spent and why it is not means tested.
There is no such thing as free health care, nothing is free in this life.
The free GP visits for all under sixes for example is funded through cuts in the health care budget in another services area and these cuts will be made where there will be least protest.
If someone thinks you are worth paying three hundred and four thousand euros in salary to you aren't going to look a gift horse in the mouth ruru.You will pay the top rate of tax on these salaries but you still have huge disposable income.
In an ideal world where public services for the poorer child are available then yes the very rich should get DCA and children's allowances.In an ideal world though you wouldn't need DCA allowance, your child would get whatever services they require in a timely manner and they will be all free.
I don't think people should feel guilty taking whatever is going, I think transfer of taxpayers money should go to the most deserving, that should be Government Policy.
You can't have free health care in a country where Consultants have a stranglehold on the Health service ruru and where most of the health budget is gone on salaries.
In countries like France where health care is free the consultants etc are on a very good salary but its not astronomical.Here a consultant can charge you two hundred and fifty euros to stand in his office and you will pay it because you want to get ahead of the huge numbers of people in the queue for the public bed.
The whole system is rotten from the top down and the professional organisations are too powerful to take on.
1... medical card is solely for the child. Mine will get hers in June but the rest of us will still be without one or medical insurance. There is a line they impose on your income, and if you are a carer they make your payment as income, hence filling in a P21 tax return each year. Unemployment payments are not counted so you can have 2 people with the same money but one does not get it because their care for their disabled child.... very fair system we have.
2... been up since just after 3am, another night of crying and laughing.... she is stimming now so I get my first break to have a cuppa.
3... The person, I think his mother, was trying to document an episode he was experiencing. I am sure in the normal situation she would interfere more to calm the situation. It is also worth noting that exposure to normal classes is very beneficial for a child with special needs. They need this experience to help model their own behavior. Imagine what would happen to a baby raise by a pack of dogs with no other humans to learn from... we all need others to help us grow and learn how to deal with society. They other children also benefit from limited exposure as it helps them accept differences. If they only know NT people, who will they learn about all the others that share their world. We don't advocate apartheid for a good reason. Let the children play together and they grow to accept each other ;)
I didn't go on a rant Robynn but you are on a rant yourself.You are entitled to your opinion and so am I.
No one is is earning an enormous salary is entitled to any non means tested benefits, that includes DCA, children's allowance,free GP visits etc.I don't know how these well of people got free GP visits and I don't know was it for the whole family but definitely some medical care was free.As I said I used to wonder why the child was constantly being brought to the GP for minor stuff and then something was said about free GP care and I remember thinking that explains it.I don't pry into anybody else's affairs and I don't care how much money people have but I do think scarce resources should go to children who are depending on Public Services and we all know they are non existent.
Anyway back to the programme.The videoing of Adam Harris while he was in distress was just awful to watch, it was very unpleasant for the other little children in the play school too, why didn't whoever was running the play school take him out and why was he left sitting at a table with nothing in front of him.The room was so small and narrow for so many children and the children were colouring or whatever they were doing while sitting jammed together facing a wall.Who would want their child in a play school setting like this, this would have been in 1998/1999 and not 1950.
I take my hat off to the teachers filmed too, they have a very difficult job and they were so dedicated, the SNA was wonderful too, all these professionals get paid less than Luas drivers and the SNA is probably paid less than a cleaner who is working cash in hand.
Well well fossum you are going on a rant you know nothing about cos your friends told you???I and probably abaparent and others are up dealing with my child's SN issues, your probably snoring your block off.Everyone no matter how much they earn is entitled to DCA if their child qualifies for it and they damn deserve it, ever single penny is used to top up the absolute disgraceful services provided for our most vulberable. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of families that take the children's allowance that can well afford it and rightly so. NO your not entitled to anything else but DCA unless you qualify for Medical card, which we are not. SN affects the whole family, siblings especially and we have to fight tooth and nail so your child is given every opportunity. No one knows what way progressing disabilities will go hopefully it will seriously benefit those who have nothing and make it fairer but i doubt it. It's a battle every day.So unless you have been told 2 days after the birth of your child tick the box there that says 'mental handicap' and you'll be one of the lucky ones to get DCA be careful what you say
Agreed. Under 6 med card is completely abused and GPS are under serious pressure because of it. The most ridiculous initiative by the government.
Is the discretionary card means tested.
Im pretty sure no one would take their child to the GP with sniffles unless they didn't have to pay the GP.
I was at the GP the other day and the surgery was full of children under six playing on their iPads.My appointment was for 515 and I had to wait till 6 PM.None of the children looked very sick to me.The Poor GPS don't like this at all because it means people like me will be at death door before we come back again to sit for an hour and part with sixty euros.
The Domiciliary Care Allowance is not means tested, but it is not for the parents, it is for the child. I have 2 children with significant disabilities, I have been receiving the DCA since they were diagnosed. I have spent every cent that I have received on the needs of my 2 children. It does not go very far, believe it or not. 309.50 a month gets eaten up in therapies. An hour of therapy is 70 for speech and language therapy or occupational therapy. In some areas it can be more. I pay for 6 hours of therapy a month, 3 SLT and 3 OT per child per month. That means my DCA is well gone. That means I am paying for Psychology, and other specialist services the children may need. In regards to the medical card, my children were never eligible for one. They will get one for the first time because of the changes. My son has severe epilepsy and has multiple seizures every day. His medication has been changed and altered many many times. I have paid for all GP visits and his medication up to now, plus visits to casualty when his seizures were prolonged.
I would give anything for my 2 children not to have a disability. The DCA is welcome and is helpful, but it is not substitute for a healthy typically developing child.
Currently waiting lists for assessment is over a year. A long time to wait while your child isn't coping at school. My dd was waiting 3 YEARS for occupational therapy. The waiting list for speech therapy is around the same.Psychology - forget about it.
Some areas take years to assess a child, that's unacceptable as it's crucial that a child needing extra help is seen asap. I totally agree ruru it's important to intervene straightaway. My sons issues went out of hand because nobody would listen to me - the professionals openly said to me and agreed he should have been helped when younger Fossum blame the system, not the parents! However I do agree people are bringing in kids for every little sniffle and twinge, I used to be like that and the gp would tell me to get lost and stop panicking over every little thing
Hi. Those In receipt of DCA do not receive free medical care.
I think they had free visits voila, they used to go for every little sniffle while I would begrudge handing over sixty euros to be told to buy dioralte and to get my child to drink sugar free seven up.
Im nearly positive they didn't pay for GP visits.
I wouldn't begrudge it either if there was plenty of money to go around and if every child who needed speech therapy for example could just get it.The high taxpayers do hand over a lot of their huge income and get very little for it ,they usually work very long hours too.
I said from a financial point of view it can't be hard to get DCA starr, it isn't means tested at all.
Fossum I do apologise I misread one or more posts.Actually no suggestion whatsoever of DCA being bought with reports from professionals only Special Needs Assistants.Amazing what a "cut and paste" job will get you these days.Definitely out for me now but I will say lastly and it's easy for me to say it but the people posting here with genuine experience either through working with or being a parent of a child with special needs are educating me.
Fossum you think it can't be that hard to get DCA......over 6 months it took us to fill out that horrible horrible form !!!! When you have to put in black and white what your child's abilities are and you realise how bad he/she is progressing as a parent it's one of the hardest things I've done !!!!! Also we get DCA because our seriously inadequate government can't get their act together and provide the necessary resources that our children NEED.
Olympia, where did you read that someone could pay professionals to get a favourable report for the DCA allowance, was it on this thread.
I hope I didn't confuse you, I posted that reports are needed from psychologists to be presented to schools to enable children to get resources hours, this is what people mean by saying you need "to get a label".
The system is now changing so you won't need to hand over five hundred euros to have your child assessed, the principal who will be advised by her teaching staff will decide where the very scarce resources are to go.
The psychologists must be absolutely raging that this income source will now be drying up.
Private reports are accepted but the hse in some areas will not accept them, I think it depends on circumstances- a child may urgently need resources etc. I heard also that if you pay for a private report then you won't be assessed by the public system- a full multidisciplinary assessment with various professionals.Somtim3es
That's a good idea Siobhanor. It would be helpful though if those "who knows somebody who said....." could take a step back. They don't know the full story and it's all hearsay.
I think you get free medical care when you qualify for the DCA allowance.
I used to think my pals spent a lot on GP visits and then there was some reference to medical cards.Is this true Siobhan.
The under six GP medical care is insane too, that should be means tested as well.
Would it be a good idea if thise who genuinely want to know more asked some open sincere questions and listened to the answers. And thise who havr first hand experience give answers and everyone tried to be civil.That way ignorance may be diminished and some trust and understanding may takes its place here. I work with families affected by ASD. I visit family homes. I can put the kettke on in many houses around the country and I know who never sleeps and who has no family to talk to, who is afraid to let the truth in and who is a tireless networker and crusader and they know me and what biscuits I like and that they can cry or shout or curse or say nothing and be supported. It is the best job in the world. So I dont live with anyone with ASD but I spend more time with ASD families than I do with my own! So any questions just fire away and let's try to build a bridge of understanding.
So was I wise up . what I've learned most in the last few days, is what a vast spectrum ASD is and all the associated extra difficulties that can come with the diagnosis. I've also learned that because of the new SEN model, children with ASD may well be more under resourced than ever. As for buying assessments, I've never come across it myself but I expect that people have been paying for private assessments as the waiting lists are so long in the public system , much like health insurance I guess. You get to jump the queue if you pay for health insurance?
The GP section is not so important unless it is a physical issue that is involve. Remember these forms are for ALL disabilities... not just ASD (something we can be blind too if we stay within our own experiences).
Our GP sign it after I presented the psychologist's report. The report is the true bases of the application and it can be a long drawn out process that can be difficult. It would be foolish to try cheat the system as there are much easier methods I am sure that will net more that 309euro a month. To be a carer you are assessed and if you have even a modest job your payment is reduced. You also must insure you don't save too much or that will reduce your payment too... lucky my means falls well below so I can rape the system for all 232euro a week (just got my extra 5euro today).
Thanks Siobhanr here I am again!!!I'm also following a similar post on RC currently and one poster who works in a school wrote that she she has seen parents in tears when birthday party invites go around and yet again the child with SN is not invited.No allowance will buy that and it could make such a difference to child and parent.
Olympia. I think it is great that you want to know more about special needs. If you have any questions do continue to ask. Emotions can run high but genuine interest and concern won't go amiss.
Summersky I wasn't tarring any parent with any brush.I read a post which suggested professionals could be paid for favourable reports to get DCA.I looked at the form and drew a conclusion for which I stated in my post I hoped to be wrong.Over and out on this one for me I've no experience on the issue just an interest and would like to think a bit of empathy now I'm a a parent.
DCA is based on the diagnostic report, a letter from the GP, letters from relevant therapists and a detailed diary of the child's every need every day for several weeks. I know a few parents who deferred completion of the form for months as they broke down and cried every time they sat down to list their child's extra care needs. I also know some well off people who claim nothing from the state.Don't generalise. It is too simplistic and does not add anything of value to a discussion.
Those friends of yours do talk a lot Fossum.
Perhaps people want to believe that sn doesn't exist! That the parents are liars and scroungers, please spend a day in our shoes before making such crass assumptions
Olympia all the gp does is sign the form and tick a few boxes, it is not a deciding factor, I submitted numerous reports and they were written professionally on the basis of numerous hours observation, speaking to teacher and others etc . I can't speak for other reports but please don't tar all parents! I find it hard to believe that a gp would write up a fake.report for money- no gp will put their job on line
I am no expert on the welfare system so correct me if I am wrong. Benefits are non means tested when the majority of people in the target group would pass the means test at the threshold set and when the cost of assessing the means is higher than the cost of paying it to all. Child benefit is not means tested. Non means tested allowances give blanket coverage and despite covering a small number who don't need it provide the best way of alleviating suffering for the majority.
Out of curiosity I just looked up the DCA application form.While thee are multiple questions parents have to answer and the opportunity to submit assessments from different healthcare professionals it would seem the GP's medical report might be the deciding factor??.Now I'm genuinely not trying to stir it here but are people suggesting that GP,S are being paid to enhance reports because that's shocking to me although I will admit I'm fortunate enough not to have needed any of these services.I really hope I'm wrong!

They'll be loaded up with an empty 9 gallon firkin barrel and will have to roll it from Princetown on Dartmoor to cross the finish line at the Kings Arms on Weymouth Harbour.
They'll stay under canvas at the River Dart Country Park for one night.
Sunday morning will see the teams finishing in Weymouth 'by any means necessary'. They're encouraged to find the most novel and unique mode of transport to arrive in.
The event will raise money for two charities, Help4Heroes and MV Freedom, a local boat made for the disabled in Weymouth.
Jennie Jackson, Chairman for MV Freedom told Wessex FM "What I really want is to see lots of people in Weymouth to see the guys come in because they have to put in so much effort to be able to arrive in style."

EducationI recently graduated from law school, but I continue to tutor part-time. In addition to my law degree, I hold a Masters in Political Science and a double-major undergraduate degree in English Literature and Philosophy.
ExperienceI offer subject matter sessions in history, government, law, politics, literature, composition, and philosophy, but I am also available for generic essay editing, debate preparation, and college application consultations.
I also offer AP test preparation in AP US History (APUSH), AP English Language & Composition, AP English Literature & Composition, AP European History, AP US Government and Politics, and AP World History. AP tests are more about time management, reading comprehension, and composition skills than subject matter-expertise. I myself gained enough AP test credits (including high-passing scores on tests for AP courses I did not even take) to graduate a year early from college, while obtaining a double-major in English Literature and Philosophy in the process. The AP tests are entirely "doable" with the right preparation; and I will provide instruction in the core skills required to master the exam.
HobbiesI tutor because I enjoy "wrestling" with knowledge, so I fully appreciate how students sometimes run into the proverbial wall, or feel overburdened by standardized tests and mindless assignments. As such, I guarantee high energy, personality, and preparedness for all tutoring sessions.

Crystal Cox Case
December 8, 2011 by staff
Crystal Cox Case, First, Crystal Cox is not a p*rn star, so let's just get that out of the way right now. If you blog, you've probably heard Cox's name right now. The tale of woe that catapulted Cox's name onto blogs and news sites across the web this week is somewhat multifaceted- on one hand, Cox was sued for defamation, fined $2.5 million for her words and a judge in Oregon ruled that the blogger's words did not fall under typical press protections.
On the other hand, her sites are- to be charitable- a bit alarmist and coarsely presented, and one could be forgiven to think that perhaps her intentions weren't entirely altruistic in targeting Obsidian Finance Group as well as co-founder Kevin Padrick with her campaign of capital letters and red on black websites across several shrill, self-published sites.
Forbes suggests journalists- and by journalists, I assume the writer means people who spent $60,000 or more in J-school and don't publish on the WordPress platform- should be reluctant to "claim" Cox as "one of [their] own." Which on the surface sounds reasonable, and perhaps a case could be made for Cox's postings being unreasonable, untrue, libelous, defamatory or- and I would stand behind this one- a crime against web design everywhere. But what I believe is most of note with the Crystal Cox case is what was said in US District Court Judge Marco Hernandez's ruling. If you post anywhere on the internet- Facebook, Yelp or a message board for Corgi lovers- I'd encourage you to read this statement very carefully and with a critical eye:
"[While Crystal Cox] is a self-proclaimed "investigative blogger" and defines herself as "media," the record fails to show that she is affiliated with any newspaper, magazine, periodical, book, pamphlet, news service, wire service, news or feature syndicate, broadcast station or network, or cable television system. Thus, she is not entitled to the protections of the law."

016T Kits for drawing by pebbles (canvas) Carriage dog (Lasko)
The kit contains: kit of patterns with a glue basis, pebbles with numbers by colors, a conversion key of numbers by colors, a tweezer.
The work can carry out by rows (like beadwork) and by colors (like embroidery by threads). It is easier to carry out in the second way. It is more convenient to glue on staggered-order, and then insert pebbles inside, in that way they lay down exactly.

My most favorite event place at Green Sun is The Eye! Given its 360 degree panoramic screens that will definitely surround you, it's as if you're transported to a new place that you've never been to. The ventilation was really good, too. Despite having so many lights, the temperature's still good and it won't make you perspire at all.

There seems to be a lot of confusion among the general public as to what the standards of healthcare should be and what kind of service they should expect.
Even more important is knowing what they are entitled to and what they can do if things ever go wrong through medical negligence.
The idea behind the articles on this website is to set the records straight by informing everyone on how they can get the best out of their medical providers in their location and what to look out for when sourcing the right one.
Thanks for checking out our website and we hope you find it useful.

Daytona 500 Qualifying | www.usspost.com
February 6, 2010 by USA Post
Daytona 500 Qualifying | www.usspost.com:Welcome to Yahoo! Sports live coverage of Daytona 500 qualifying. Stick with us and we'll fill you in on all the action.
1:28: Dale Earnhardt Jr. has clocked the fastest lap – 190.913 mph. He's sitting on the pole right now.
1:36: It's pretty windy here in Daytona. Drivers are getting a push down the backstretch, but it's making it squirrely for some.
1:38: Last year's pole winner Martin Truex Jr., driving for Michael Waltrip Racing now, is only ninth fastest out of 11 cars so far.
1:40: We've got a new pole sitter and it's Mark Martin, clocking a lap of 191.88 mph.
1:44: Walked through the Nationwide garage a little bit ago and there was a huge crowd standing outside Danica Patrick's hauler. She'll make her stock car debut this afternoon in the ARCA race.
1:45: Mark Martin just said, "I was flying, and I knew it. … I can't wait to get started racing." Remember, he's never won a Daytona 500. "It's time," Martin said. "This is the best shot I've had."
1:47: Greg Biffle is 13th out of 14 cars so far. The Roush Fenway cars have not shown any speed so far in what limited track time we've seen.
1:57: Not a great run for Boris Said. He's dead last of the 17 cars that have gone so far. He'll get in regardless. He has the owner's points on the No. 26.
2:00: Just a reminder – they are only setting the top two spots today. The rest of the field is set by finishing order in Thursday's Duel 150s. So, if you're not No. 1 or No. 2 today, then your starting spot is not set. As of now, the front row is Mark Martin and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
2:19: Jimmie Johnson just put down the fifth-fastest qualifying lap. He wasn't terribly quick in practice. Mark Martin is still looking good. Probably the only driver left to qualify who can overtake Martin is his teammate, Jeff Gordon.
2:31: Carl Edwards is 16th-fastest, just behind his teammate, David Ragan, who is the fastest of the three Roush drivers to have gone out so far.
2:35: At 51, Mark Martin would be the oldest Daytona 500 pole winner. Dale Jarrett won the pole when he was 48.
2:39: Jeff Gordon is ninth-fastest. Gordon was probably the last driver who could challenge Martin for the pole.
2:51: Joe Nemechek is not guaranteed a spot in the Daytona 500, but he just clocked the 13th-fastest lap and the fastest of those drivers who need to qualify on time to get in. That should hold up for "Front Row" Joe.
3:10: For those unsure how qualifying for the Daytona 500 goes, you're not alone. It's confusing. But I'll give it a try: the top two qualifiers today are on the front row. The top 35 in owner's points from last year are in, however their starting position is determined by how they finish in Thursday's Duels. The top three or four drivers in today's qualifying who are not in the top 35 will also get in. That leaves four to five spots still up for grabs in the Duels. … I think.

Features To Look Out For In The Best E-cigarette
You might not be entirely new in the cigarette smoking industry, or may be a seasoned smoker but you are somehow new to the world of electronic cigarette smoking. Finding your way through the many different products and settling at the one that best suits you can look like an overwhelming task.
There are a number of options that are available as we are witnessing an increased number of new e-cigarette arrivals into the market now and again. Meaning there is a lot of competition among the sellers. The best method so far of getting a good e-cigar is looking through reviews. Look at the Best E-Cigarette Reviews & Brands In The UK for 2017 | Buyers Guide. Aside from this, you need to have the knowledge on what specifically makes a good e-cigarette.
The guide given below will be essential in enabling you to know what you will be looking for in an electronic cigarette and thus help you make a good choice.
Cigarette like appearance
When you make a general assumption, most electronic cigarette users aim at obtaining something that has a close resemblance to the ordinary cigarette. While they want to have the smoking experience without having to worry about the smoking side effects that come with regular smoking. It may happen that a cigarette's look may not matter to you. But you should have by now realized that all e-cigars bear a close resemblance to their tobacco counterparts. Other brands bear more resemblance than others. If the appearance does matter that much to you, then you should go for that which has a glowing orange tip. But am pretty sure that with time, the resemblance will not be that important. For those making the switch, it is pretty helpful.
Vapor production
The amount of vapor that the e-cigarette will be producing is a very important factor to take into consideration. It is very crucial more especially when one is looking to achieve the experience of ordinary smoking. The majority of e-cigar brands will give a considerable amount of vapor, however, the vapor will be lesser than a tobacco cigarette. With time one gets used to this. But you should always go for a brand of e-cigarette that gives more vapor as this is more satisfying.
Nicotine level
It is also a good idea to take into consideration the amount of nicotine that you will require to consume. If you know that you are a heavy smoker, then you should go for an e –cigar brand that gives 24mg cartilage and above. This is meant to ensure that your smoking craving is fully satisfied. But it is advisable that you go for an 18mg one as it is enough for most users.
When selecting an e-cigarette, it is important to determine how long the battery will take before it is exhausted. You should always select that which can allow 200 to 300 puffs before it is exhausted. This will allow you use it for longer periods before it requires some recharge. It is also important to go for automatic activation batteries as opposed the manually activated batteries.
Always endeavor to make a purchase of an e-cigarette that has the features that are right for you. Get the above factors right, and your experience will be what you were looking for.

Board members at the South Jersey Transportation Authority said Wednesday that they will defer to Gov. Chris Christie to name the agency's next chief executive, but they stressed that they want to be included in the selection process.
The authority's top position has been in question since former Executive Director Sam Donelson left in early January to take a job with a private engineering firm.
Board members insisted there has been no leadership vacuum following Donelson's departure, but they are eager for the governor to fill the executive director's job — preferably with someone from South Jersey.
"I believe it would help," board member Joseph Ripa, a representative from Camden County, said while advocating for a South Jersey appointee.
Another board member, Jeffery April, a Cape May County attorney, also argued that the governor should hire someone from South Jersey or, at the very least, a person with intimate knowledge of the region's economy and tourism industry.
"We care that the executive director is qualifed and competent to do the job," April said.
Speaking after the authority's monthly board meeting Wednesday, both April and Ripa said they expect the Governor's Office to take the lead in searching for a new executive director. At the same time, they emphasized that the authority's seven-member board should be closely involved in the hiring, too.
"I have offered my services to the Governor's Office to assist," April said.
Christie's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.
The governor has the ultimate say in senior-level appointments by virtue of his veto power over the authority's decisions. However, the board members vote on the appointments and often wield their own power to influence top hirings.
Christie's choice as the authority's new executive director will oversee a regional transportation network that includes the Atlantic City Expressway, Atlantic City International Airport and bus traffic to the Atlantic City casinos.
The authority, meanwhile, has been under the temporary leadership of its chief financial officer, Frank Frankowski, since he was appointed interim executive director in early January. Frankowski confirmed he is interested in becoming the full-time executive director.
Frankowski, 63, of Mount Ephraim, Camden County, has served as the authority's finance chief for the past two years. Previously, he worked for 12 years as a vice president and controller at Atlantic City Electric and spent time as a finance executive for another electric utility, PECO.
Frankowski said his management background, financial expertise and his involvement with South Jersey community groups over the years give him the experience to run the authority.
April called Frankowski a qualified candidate for the executive director's job and encouraged him to put his name up for consideration.
For months, reports swirled that Christie might name a fellow Republican, former Atlantic County Assemblyman John Amodeo, to head the transportation authority. Amodeo has repeatedly characterized those reports as mere speculation.

Tanzania's Magufuli, the President who has been nicknamed the bulldozer by the media and citizens for his strict, no-nonsense style of governance has struck again.

After an earthquake struck the northern Kagera region of the country leading to the death of at least 16 people with 200 additional people wounded, the country had rallied to raise funds for the earthquake victims. Today, it turns out that Tanzania's Magufuli has sacked two senior officials for opening a fake account to siphon money from an earthquake fund.
His office shared the news in a statement which also added that along with the sack of the two senior officials, an accountant had been suspended for being part of the plan to take money collected for earthquake victims.
In raising money for the earthquake fund, foreign governments had chipped in, donating money for Tanzania's use. Tanzania's privately owned Citizen newspaper reports that on Tuesday the government of India donated 545m Tanzanian shillings ($250,000; £190,000) towards the fund.

The statement reveals that the two senior officials who have been dismissed by Tanzania's Magufuli had allegedly opened a bank account which "bears the same name as the one opened by the government,". It then goes on to state that the two along with the suspended accountant had in mind to "use the account to collect money for their benefit while it was meant to help the victims".
Local media reports the identity of the sacked officials as; Amantius Msole (Kagera's regional administrative secretary) and Steven Makonda (Bukoba city municipal council director). The suspended accountant is Simbaufoo Swai. The three are, however, yet to comment on the allegations.
East Africa's Great Rift Valley runs along a geological fault line but major earthquakes there are rare. In July 2007, a magnitude six quake struck the Tanzanian town of Arusha, east of Bukoba and the recent earthquake that occurred September 10 was a magnitude 5.7 earthquake. Along with the lives that were lost, the quake caused significant damage to buildings in Bukoba.
