War on Christmas
The War on Christmas refers specifically to the controversy surrounding the celebration or acknowledgment of the Christmas holiday in government, media, advertising and other secular environments. Modern-day controversy occurs around the world, and stems from the holiday's significant annual role in celebrating cultural values in Western society. See The War on Christmas: How the Liberal Plot to Ban the Sacred Christian Holiday Is Worse Than You Thought. Fox News has been particularly vocal in the War on Christmas, trying to prevent secular censorship of Christmas celebration.[1] Bill O'Reilly has devoted numerous segments on his show in recent years to the War on Christmas.
Atheists started the War on Christmas, often feigning concern for the sensitivities of Jews and other religious groups who do not celebrate Christmas, knowing people sympathize with Jews, but rarely ever with atheists. This is typical of the selfishness of atheism.
As Part of the Culture Wars
Culture War is a term used to describe the swaying of what is acceptable in a society between culturally conservative and liberal. To that end, the War on Christmas is a major skirmish in that war. Each year, more and more secular progressives work to eradicate the right of major retailers to say "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Christmas" in favor of the more benign, and ultimately godless "Happy Holidays." The term Christmas Tree is also being replaced by Holiday Tree in some places. When the retailer gives in, they are less likely to begin using the older terms again, and, in order to save money and time, will simply acquiesce to the will of the liberal protesters, saying "Happy Holidays" from that time on.
Conservatives argue that this is a form of censorship by the liberal minority in society, tasked with the purpose of removing even the smallest mention of the Christmas Holiday. An obvious danger for conservatives is the notion that such an issue will become a slippery slope. Once the issue is removed from public discourse, the next removal becomes that much easier.
True Christians and the War on Christmas
True Christians know that the Christmas is all about celebrating the Incarnation of Jesus Christ. They recognize that the War on Christmas focuses largely on the commercial or otherwise non-religious aspects of modern Christmas celebration, and has little to do with the true Miracle and message of Christmas.[2] It shouldn't matter how people greet each other at malls or other retail establishments, or what name they give to a festively decorated evergreen.
As is common, individuals with a tendency toward liberal ideologies will not see the War on Christmas as real, and may even deny that there is such a controversy.

ATLANTA (AP) — Dick Pettys, a longtime political reporter for The Associated Press who was a fixture at the Georgia state Capitol for more than three decades and a well-respected mentor to other journalists, died Monday. He was 66.
He died following a massive heart attack Monday afternoon at his north Georgia home just outside of Clarkesville, said his son Richard R. Pettys Jr.
Pettys covered Georgia politics from the time of Govs. Lester Maddox and Jimmy Carter through the end of the Democratic Party's political control of the state and the election of Georgia's first Republican chief executive since Reconstruction.
"For years, Dick was every Georgian's eyes and ears on the state budget and those who controlled it," said Maryann Mrowca, the AP's assistant bureau chief for the South Atlantic Region. "Even when politicians did not like what he reported, they knew he was fair, accurate and kept the same eagle eye on all in power to make sure they were held accountable for their actions and inactions."
Dubbed the "dean" of the Capitol press corps, Pettys was a fixture under the Gold Dome for 35 years. An insider with a reputation for evenhanded reporting, he had the ear of everyone from governors and House speakers to low-level clerks.
His death stunned current and former leaders in Georgia politics and journalism.
"I'm very saddened. Dick was a newspaperman's newspaperman," said former Gov. Roy Barnes. "He was a fixture at the state Capitol and knew more about what was going on than anybody I knew. He was quiet but thorough."
Matt Towery, CEO of InsiderAdvantage Georgia, was Pettys' boss after Pettys retired from the AP in 2005.
"I'm heartbroken," Towery said. "He was a fabulous guy. There was only one Dick Pettys."
Bill Shipp, a longtime political columnist and a Georgia journalism institution in his own right, knew Pettys from the beginning of Pettys' career covering politics.
"Dick over the years set the standard for the rest of us as a down-the-middle reporter who knew how to bring the news to everyone in a clear, concise and unbiased manner," Shipp said. "He was the best there is. His profession, we journalists, will miss him."
Joan Kirchner, now deputy chief of staff to U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., worked alongside Pettys in the AP's Capitol office throughout the 1990s.
"He was a legendary reporter and a Georgia institution. And he was the best mentor I could have asked for when I arrived at the Capitol wet behind the ears not knowing who to talk to or what to do," Kirchner said.
"He taught me so much in the time I spent covering the Georgia Legislature," added Michael Giarrusso, AP bureau chief for Arizona and New Mexico who worked with Pettys at the statehouse in the early 1990s. "Never compromise your ethics or morals to get a story. ... Never back down to bullies, even if they are in high office. Don't dare show bias in anything you do. And it was OK to have fun. I never smiled more at work than I did working with Joan Kirchner and Dick Pettys."
Sonya Ross, the AP's Race and Ethnicity editor, covered the Georgia Legislature from 1989 to 1992 with Pettys.
"Dick was a golden person, and he was always just so respectful and so good," she said. "I'm just really shocked. I learned so much about politics just being around him."
Aaron Gould Sheinin of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Capitol bureau recalled the Georgia Senate honoring Pettys upon his retirement from the AP. The chamber allowed him to speak from the rostrum. "First time that had happened," Sheinen said of such treatment for a reporter. "We joked and called him 'The senator from the 47th,'" a play on how the senators — who hail from 46 districts around the state — address one another on the floor.
Over the years, Pettys butted heads with many of those he covered. His son recalled hearing of one instance when Pettys revealed and disrupted a legislative plan to carve out a sweetheart congressional district for then-state Rep. Sam Nunn.
"In the rotunda of the Capitol, Sam Nunn comes up to dad and sticks his finger out at dad and says, 'You have nullified me.'"
Yet Nunn and other leaders knew they would get fair treatment from Pettys, the son said.
"He prided himself on being fair and balanced before fair and balanced was cool," he said.
In addition to Richard R. Pettys Jr., Pettys is survived by his wife, Stephanie S. Pettys; two other sons, William Howland Pettys II and Clement Nelson Pettys; a brother, William Pettys Jr.; and a sister, Barbara P. Macon.
Associated Press writers Russ Bynum in Savannah, Ga., and Bill Barrow in Atlanta, contributed to this report.

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's Foreign Ministry says that Cairo has more evacuated more than 4,000 of its nationals and their family members from Syria over the past several months.
The Sunday statement did not provide a more specific time frame for the evacuations. It cited one recent instance of 90 people, including Egyptian nationals and their Syrian spouses and children, who were given special passage through the Syria-Lebanon border before being taken to Beirut airport.
Fighting has recently intensified around the Syrian capital. Egypt's national air carrier halted all flights to and from Syria late last month due to the deteriorating security situation around Damascus airport and the roads leading to it.

JP Morgan to pay $2.9M in settlement with securities regulators
March 31. 2014 1:30PM
CONCORD - New Hampshire will receive $235,210 in a settlement with JP Morgan over the financial services firm's failure to properly register sales assistants across the country.The New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulations (BSR) and members of the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) finalized a consent order Monday with JP Morgan Securities LLC in which it agreed to pay more than $2.9 million to the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.BSR led the regulatory investigation, coordinating with several states nationwide as part of an NASAA working group."Compliance with the registration requirements for securities sales people is a very important part of protecting investors," Eric Forcier, bureau staff attorney, said. "We applaud JP Morgan's cooperation in correcting this situation and accepting its responsibility."The bureau found that certain JP Morgan sales assistants who were authorized to accept securities orders from clients were not appropriately registered to conduct such business.In addition, JP Morgan used an order entry system that did not record the identity of individuals taking orders. The consent order notes the firm has since made several efforts to remedy the problems, including development of an enhanced trading system and improved policies and procedures.JP Morgan also will pay $10,000 directly to NASAA, a voluntary association whose members includes state, provincial and territorial securities administrators in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Canada and Mexico. The bureau has participated in four settlements in the past two years resulting in $20 million in fines and penalties paid to NASAA members.

We're kicking off a new blog series to coincide with the launch of our new Shmoop Teachers website. Shmoop reports from the front lines. The trenches. Yes, real-life examples of teachers using Shmoop in the classroom. Send in your classroom examples (lesson plans, assignments, classroom activities, etc.) and we'll share it here with the Shmoop Teachers community.
First Up: Students Share Reactions to Shmoop Reading via Classroom Blog
Who: Debra Schneider, Ph.D.
Subject: Social Studies
School: Merrill F. West HS, Tracy, CA
The Idea: Assign a Shmoop reading to your class, and have them post their reactions to the classroom blog.
"We were viewing segments of "Eyes on the Prize," so my students are captivated by the Civil Rights Movement. I wanted them to show me they have read deeper and discovered more. I want them to read, show their comprehension, form an opinion, and convey their stance."
The Assignment:
- Debra assigned her students readings from Shmoop's Jim Crow in America
- She posted the assignment to her classroom blog
- Each student was required to comment on her blog, answering the question, "What section (in reading, photos, or videos) most surprised you? Include the URL where you found it. The deeper you go into Shmoop, the better.
Debra says:
"I found Shmoop on a teacher's list of "best Social Studies sites of 2008″ and I completely agree. The topics covered are comprehensive, the resources are varied and interesting, the writing acknowledges a complex history but in a way that my students can comprehend, and the writing style is very engaging."
The assignment was a success. See Deb's classroom blog for yourself. Deb plans to assign another Shmoop topic soon.

Author Notes: At the beginning of the year, I decided to learn more about what I was eating and feeding my 7-year old son. I find myself reading a lot of labels now. Mostly to figure out what ingredients are in the dressings and sauces I enjoy. I'd rather make them at home without the preservatives and high fructose corn syrup I am finding on many labels. I like the choice of sweetening with fruit juice or agave and I'd rather my ingredients grow out of the ground, than in a laboratory.
I use this sauce for everything from fresh spring rolls to roasted chicken.

To: Managers and Supervise
From: President Robert L. Caret
Subject: San José State University's Position Statement on the Injury and Illness Prevention Program (Supersedes PD 91-04)
It is the purpose of this Presidential Directive to assure that the colleges and operating departments of San José State University fully comply with the requirements of the injury and illness Prevention Program (IIPP) (Title 8, CCR section 3203).
SJSU is required by the IIPP to establish, implement and maintain an effective program designed to minimize the risk of morbidity and injury in the campus environment. SJSU has the obligation and responsibility to provide a setting relatively free from risk of environmental and occupational hazards in which its students, employees, visitors and neighbors may pursue their activities.
To insure that these objectives are met, each administrative area of the university must provide appropriate and effective health and safety programs in their specific area. The colleges and operating departments have the primary responsibility for implementing and maintaining their own effective health and safety programs.
The overall responsibility for campus health and safety rests with the President of the University. The Provost, Vice Presidents, Deans and Administrative Heads have the specific responsibility for implementing and taking corrective action. The Director of EH&OS has the responsibility for developing compliance procedures and ensuring institutional compliance within the regulatory framework under local, state and federal requirements.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A southern Kentucky man is being retried in the torture slayings of a young Knoxville couple.
The second trial of George Thomas begins Monday in Knoxville before a jury selected in Nashville. Thomas is one of four defendants convicted in the kidnapping, torture and killing of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom in January 2009.
Thomas was convicted in December 2009, but the trial judge abruptly left the bench without affirming the jury's verdict. Judge Richard Baumgartner was later convicted on charges related to his abuse of painkillers.
The Knoxville News Sentinel (http://bit.ly/19iizkK ) reported the central issue in the trial will be criminal responsibility. There is no forensic proof that points to Thomas, of Lebanon, Ky. He received a life without parole sentence at his first trial.

By Edmund Blair and Leila Abboud
(Reuters) - Egyptian tycoon Naguib Sawiris is used to ruffling feathers and making headlines.
He was up to both on Tuesday, provoking shareholders at Telecom Italia with proposals to make himself a significant shareholder at half the price they might want, while the political party he co-founded prepared for protests against Egypt's president.
The 58-year old entrepreneur, who built an emerging markets telecoms empire that once stretched from North Korea to Algeria, is plotting a surprise return to the European telecom scene by buying a stake in Telecom Italia via a 3 billion euro ($3.9 billion) capital increase.
On Tuesday, Telecom Italia's core shareholders, which include Spain's Telefonica and three Italian financial institutions, learned that he is aiming for a deal around the market price - currently 0.68 euros a share - a long way short of the 1.50 euros at which they value the shares on their own books.
He also took a potshot at Telefonica, which competes with Telecom Italia in Brazil and Argentina, for "holding Telecom Italia as a hostage" to stop it growing in Latin America.
That characteristic bluntness has often landed him in court, battling business partners, governments and Islamists in Egypt since the country's revolution.
The Free Egyptian Party, which he helped set up, said it would take part in protests planned for Tuesday against President Mohamed Mursi's attempt to place his powers above the reach of judicial review until a new constitution is written.
Though a devout Christian believer - styling himself a "businessman who has a strong relation with God" - he says he is engaged in "a struggle for Egypt to stay as a non-religious state - where state, religion and church are separated".
"I am quite fanatic about my Scotch in the evening," Sawiris told Reuters last year. "I don't like anybody telling me that I can't drink. I don't like anyone telling me how my wife should be dressed."
In June 2011 he tweeted a cartoon of Mickey Mouse with a long beard and Minnie Mouse veiled in black to his million followers on Twitter.
That prompted a boycott of his joint venture Egyptian mobile firm Mobinil, spawned a Facebook page to denounce him and a court case, ultimately thrown out, for contempt of religion.
It didn't deter him.
"I'm a guy that if you shoot at, he goes forward, he doesn't retreat. The more you shoot at me, the more I go forward."
With his two brothers, who have billion-dollar businesses in fertilizer, construction and real estate, the Sawiris family is one of Egypt's biggest employers. They built on their father Onsi's Orascom enterprise, at one time nationalized by President Gamal Abdel Nasser in the 1960s.
Onsi Sawiris sent his three sons to a German school in Cairo, a move Naguib says framed his work ethic and prompted him to send his four children to the same school. He has a prominent picture of his father on his office wall.
Sawiris dreamed of turning Orascom Telecom into one of the world's biggest mobile firms, and believes the Algerian government destroyed that dream.
What had been a big gamble to go into Algeria in 2002 appeared to have paid off as local unit Djezzy soon became Orascom's top revenue earner. But a row with the government, which demanded back taxes that Orascom disputed, meant the cash stream dried up. He sold Djezzy and other telecoms assets last year to Russian-run Vimpelcom and has launched a $5 billion arbitration claim against Algeria.
Some who know him say he wants to rebuild his telecom empire.
For all his emerging market savvy, his plan to invest in Telecom Italia would bring him back to the developed market where he enjoyed perhaps his biggest success, turning around debt-laden Wind from 2005 to 2011 to create Italy's third-biggest mobile operator.
"I wanted to come back to Europe because I got sick and tired after the catastrophe that happened to me in Algeria," he said. "When you invest in the West, you are sure at least that law and order applies."
"The most value Naguib ever created in terms of financial value was Italy," said Khaled Bichara, who once ran Orascom and led Wind through the turnaround.
Sawiris is known for placing great trust in untested proteges. Bichara was managing a $50 million operation in Egypt before being sent to Italy to work at Wind. In two years, he was running the 1.6 billion euro business.
"The jump was not scientific," said Bichara, who now runs investment and management firm Accelero, set up by Sawiris and others to manage his fortune, which Forbes puts at $3.1 billion.
It was Wind, more than his operations in the Middle East, Africa, Asia or North America, that attracted Vimpelcom to buy most of Orascom and other Sawiris assets.
The $6.5 billion deal was completed in 2011 as Egypt was convulsed by the uprising that ousted longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak. Since then Sawiris has exited other telecom investments and focused increasingly on politics in the new Egypt.
Though known for his bluntness, he also has a reputation for magnanimous charm. France Telecom executive Henri de Joux recalls negotiating with Sawiris during a three-year battle for control of Mobinil.
After taking to the nightly news to slam the French as modern-day Napoleons on the march in Egypt, Sawiris invited his one-time foes to a swanky dinner in his penthouse apartment overlooking the Nile to celebrate the settlement.
"He rolled out the red carpet for us after we fought each other mercilessly for three years," de Joux said in an interview. "My colleagues used to tell me I had Stockholm syndrome, but at the end of it all, I still respected him."

Are your closets costing you a fortune? Do you spend a fortune on clothes and shoes?
Are your closets costing you a fortune? Do you spend a fortune on clothes and shoes? Do you know what clothes you have or are your closets bulging? If you are not smart with your clothing purchases, you can face a major hit to your budget.
Throughout the last week I have talked to a lot of people about my frugal lifestyle. During one of my most recent conversations, I talked to a woman about her closet. She questioned me on whether or not I had my summer and winter clothes hanging in my closet together. I quickly told her that I did and had no clothes in storage. I also told her that I did not have a lot of dressers in my bedroom. I believed in hanging up my clothes so that I know what I have. To truly believe to live the frugal lifestyle that you must follow the motto, "Living with less allows you to be free from stress."
I keep a small selection of clothes on hand. I wear them on a regular basis. This allows me to get full use of the items that I have and do not waste money on items that I do not need. I typically do laundry on a daily basis so that I can stay on top of the items that I have.
When purchasing clothes for my family I refuse to pay full price. Two of my favorite places to shop for my children's clothes are two local Facebook pages that are similar to Craigslist. Bargains to Bargains and Fort Leavenworth Buy Sell & Trade are my two favorite Facebook shopping sites.
Recently I was able to purchase my son's summer wardrobe of name brand clothing for a fraction of what I would have paid for the items in the store. However, it is not just children's clothes that I find on these sites. These sites sell household decor, clothing, toys and more for drastically reduced prices.
The second way I save money on children's clothing is by having a clothing swap with fellow moms. I have a moms' group that share clothes. I receive clothes for my children from other children who have outgrown them. When my children grow out of clothing, I give them away to a family who can use them. If they cannot use them, then they give them away to another family. It is a wonderful program that keeps cost down and helps keep used clothing and shoes out of the landfills.
I am also a huge fan of eBay for myself. I have recently purchased summer dresses for myself for under $5 and they look brand new.
It is truly important to remember you do not need closets bulging to have a great wardrobe. Living with less will help you have a better understanding of what you have, will keep you from spending on new clothing items and just help you save money in the long run.

Longtime Tufts executive joins Brandeis senior staff
Steven S. Manos is a manager, mediator and health-care activist
Steven S. Manos, who is credited with dramatically improving and stabilizing the finances and management of Tufts University during 26 years as executive vice president there, has been appointed senior vice president and chief operating officer of Brandeis, President Fred Lawrence announced this morning.
Manos was recruited to Brandeis by Provost Steve A.N. Goldstein, to whom, Manos said, he will be "joined at the hip" in efforts to improve the budgeting, administrative and financial functions that Manos will oversee.
Manos, who will report to President Lawrence, also will have responsibility for the physical plant and human resources, and be a member of the president's cabinet and senior management team.
"Steve's wealth of experience and record of accomplishment will be tremendous assets to Brandeis as we begin implementing our vision for the future," Lawrence said. "We are fortunate to have him join our team."
Goldstein said Manos "has a national reputation for creativity and financial acumen. He will strengthen our existing financial and administrative operations as we concurrently work to complete the strategic plan. Having these operations be effective and efficient are key to our long-term success."
Manos said he is looking forward to working with the Brandeis faculty and staff to strengthen the university.
"Success to me does not just mean a good bottom line," Manos said. "It means working with academic colleagues to create a stronger faculty and to provide a better education for the students."
Manos retired in September 2007 after twenty-six years on the job, and says that seeing Tufts develop a solid financial base and using it to achieve its academic goals were his proudest accomplishments. "Of course," he is quick to add, "many hands made that possible."
Prior to joining Tufts, Manos was assistant executive director of the American Bar Association in Chicago and senior administrator of the department of psychiatry of New York Hospital-Cornell University Medical Center in New York City. He also worked as director of management systems for the Manhattan District Attorney, as chief executive officer of the nonprofit Manhattan Bowery Project, which provides health services and support to homeless alcoholics, and as a corporate attorney on Wall Street.
Since his retirement from Tufts, Manos has served as a trustee of the Cambridge Health Alliance, a health-care system that covers Cambridge, Somerville, and other Boston-area communities, and has been active as a mediator, volunteering in the Massachusetts district courts to help resolve landlord-tenant disputes and small-claims cases, among others. Manos also serves as president of the Community Dispute Settlement Center, a nonprofit organization that provides affordable mediation services and trains mediators.
Most recently, he has worked as a consultant at Wheaton College, assisting the president there in developing a five-year financial plan.
Manos earned a B.A. from the University of Minnesota in 1962, a J.D. from New York University School of Law in 1968 and an M.P.A. from New York University in 1974.

Because of growth in the agricultural economy, Dawson Tire & Wheel is selling its retail tire business to Gothenburg Tire & Service July 1.
"This was a difficult decision but we have realized that Gothenburg Tire is much more aligned to service the tire and service needs of Gothenburg and the surrounding area," said owner Eric MacPherson.
MacPherson said Dawson Tire & Wheel will continue to service farm tire and service trucks and also farm and irrigation tire and wheel sales and service.
Kacie Morris, Dawson Tire & Wheel marketing manager, said the company will remain in the building and concentrate on the irrigation part of the business.
"Anything to do with ag tires and wheels," Morris said.
Danny Pfeiffer, co-owner of Gothenburg Tire & Service, said his business may hire more employees and expand in the future.
What they'll increase, after the sale, is the number of wheel alignments, Pfeiffer said.
"We're excited about it," he said.
The corporation that owns Gothenburg Tire & Service, located at 302 W. Eighth, also has a tire business and gas station in Eustis.
Dawson Tire & Wheel is located at 806 Eighth. About a year ago, the business moved its wholesale operation into a newly built facility at 511 Cottonwood Drive.

battery calibration is needed each time you flash a new custom Android ROM. The aim is to fully charge your battery, delete the batterystats.bin file and then unplug the phone letting it FULLY deplete the battery (until phone powers down) before charging the battery to 100% without interruption. The Android OS will create a new batterystats.bin automatically which will then know the correct maximum and minimum charges of your phone!
The batterystats.bin can be deleted directly from /system/data/batterystats.bin. But there is an excellent lightweight app "Battery Calibration" to do this for you.
- Download Battery Calibration from the Android Market.
- power up your phone, connect to charger or USB to a computer (for charging)
- open Battery Calibration and wait until the voltage meter hits 4200 mv,
- hit the calibrate button (deletes batterystats.bin)
- unplug the phone and allow it to fully drain then charge the phone back to 100%.

Hear a live concert every Friday at 12noon ET from WXPN and NPR Music
Broadcast live from the stage at World Cafe Live
Listen to the Concert Live Friday on the Radio and Online at XPN.org/listen.
John Langford has been at the core of punk-country expression from the start--and his latest album is more proof of that fact, and just adds one more entry into this man's list of formidable achievements.
As described in the Chicago Tribune, this "punk-rock pioneer, a leading light of alt-country, a troubadour for our times, a musicians' mentor, a visual artist of uncommon skill, a singer-songwriter who writes with the authority of having lived a life rather just having imagined it" is not to be taken for granted.
Many probably remember Langford getting his start as a drummer with punk band The Mekons, and since then he's been in involved in numerous projects playing numerous parts. From Waco Brothers to Killer Shrews to visual art to his current group, Jon Langford and Skull Orchard, he's evolved but kept basic folk and punk always close to his work.
Old Devils is his latest release, with Skull Orchard, is evidence that the man is not "mellowing in his old age," as Popmatters reviewed it. It addresses issues personal and public, from insecurity to homelessness, and it does it in an extremely effective manner--with music that perfectly complements the message.
Don't miss this week's Live Friday, with Langford and Skull Orchard on stage at World Cafe Live. It's free and it's a great way to start the weekend.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - France is still ready to start pulling its forces out of Mali next month despite a rebel attack on the key northern town of Gao, the French head of the armed force said on Friday.
Admiral Edouard Guillaud, chief of the defense staff, told reporters after a speech in Ottawa that he was not surprised by Thursday's attack in Gao, when 15 Islamists were killed by French and Malian troops.
France's defense minister had earlier said Paris could start pulling out troops in early March.
Asked whether this was still the plan, Guillaud replied: "This is obviously conditions-based, that's obvious. But yet, I don't see any reason not to begin some drawdown."
France sent troops last month to fight Islamist rebels who had captured the northern half of Mali. There are now around 4,500 French soldiers stationed in the country.
Guillaud, in initial comments to Reuters, blamed Thursday's attack on the MUJWA group that had held Gao until French forces liberated it late last month. MUJWA is a splinter faction of al Qaeda's North African wing AQIM.
"It's simply the continuation of attacks by MUJWA which will probably want to try more attacks in the coming days. It was sadly predictable and the next attacks will fail just like they did yesterday," he said.
Separately on Friday, five people were killed in two car bomb attacks by Islamists on pro-autonomy MNLA Tuareg rebels in a remote Malian town bordering Algeria, an MNLA spokesman said.
Violence in the north reinforces the risk of French and African forces becoming entangled in a guerrilla war as they try to help Mali's weak army counter al Qaeda-linked rebels.
Pressed on whether he was worried the attacks meant France would be staying in Mali longer than anticipated, Guillaud replied "No."
Canada has provided a transport plane to help the mission but says it will not send troops, citing the risk of Mali turning into a prolonged counterinsurgency like the ones seen in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Guillaud said the French operation was going as planned.
"The first phase is nearly finished and that was reconquering Mali on behalf of the Malian government and the international community. The second phase is handing over to the African forces and this is being done," he said.
The U.N.-backed African military force (AFISMA) has about 3,800 troops on the ground in Mali.

So hard to believe that 17 years ago (almost to the minute as I write this) my first baby came into this world and life just has not been the same since. Amazing to see how big they have grown. Aren't they just adorable? Seems like a lifetime ago when we celebrated this birthday up here in Vermont.
TJ really, really wanted a Carvel ice cream cake for his birthday this year, can't you tell how excited he is?
He made sure that he had a sizeable piece of cake for himself…. first. And yes, that is one-fourth of the cake that he sliced for himself…. and he ate.
Happy Birthday TJ!

People were happy to be hurt -- for a worthwhile reason.
People were happy to be hurt -- for a worthwhile reason.
Every three years, Columbus Regional Airport Authority officials are required to hone disaster preparedness with a full-scale emergency exercise at either Port Columbus or Rickenbacker international airports.
This is one of those years, June 20 is the date and it's Rickenbacker's turn.
Finding the necessary 200 to 250 volunteers willing to portray the injured, even if it does mean getting to the airport's main terminal at 7 o'clock on a Saturday morning, was a snap, according to Shaddy Swade, disaster preparedness coordinator for HandsOn Central Ohio.
"We actually had a really good turnout this time," Swade said. "We kind of have learned from past exercises and have figured out where to recruit volunteers."
One ready source of "victims," he said, is nursing students. At least 115 from Columbus State Community College and several from other programs in the area signed up.
"We give every victim a symptom card, and we ask them to play a role, so there's some acting involved," Swade said.
"They will have some instructions about how to act based on the severity of their injuries."
Some of the actors are instructed to go into panic mode, he said, whereas others are to remain calm.
The scenario for the June 20 event involves a flight from Mexico that must make an emergency landing at Rickenbacker, according to Angie Tabor, manager of communications and media relations for the airport authority.
The landing goes bad, she added, and the plane slides into part of the military's property at the former Air Force base.
"It really gives us an opportunity work very closely with the military," Tabor said.
Because the flight is supposed to have originated in Mexico, Swade said some of the injured will receive instructions to act as if they don't speak English, a nod to the growing diversity of central Ohio's population.
The exercise will require emergency personnel and others to handle situations where language is a barrier.
"It's certainly something that I know first-responders have been looking at," Swade said.
The exercise, which is required to maintain the Region-al Airport Authority's operating certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration, boun-ces back and forth every three years between the two major airports, according to Tabor.
Bolton Field, which the airport authority also operates, is exempt from being the scene of such scenarios, she added.
"Three's a huge benefit to holding the full-scale emergency exercise," Tabor said.
"I think it's absolutely critical," Swade said. "No. 1, we never know when something like this might happen or where it might happen," he said.
"Every time we do one of these exercises ... we're constantly trying to look at what are the gaps in these plans and how do we address them. You're always kind of chasing perfection in these situations."
The June 20 event, which will also involve 50 to 60 American Red Cross personnel dealing with people portraying the family members of injured passengers, has been in planning for about six months, according to Swade.
Along with HandsOn Central Ohio and the American Red Cross, the Central Ohio Trauma System and Medical Reserve Corps are helping to put on the event, along with Columbus Regional Airport Authority personnel.
At least six area hospitals and 30 different agencies will be involved that day, Swade said.
The airport authority has budgeted $6,000 for the exercise, according to Tabor.
"It's the cost of doing business," she said.

NEW YORK – U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday he still believes Manhattan is the right place to put the self-professed mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks on trial but he won't revisit the decision to have his fate decided by a military tribunal instead.
Holder commented on the case against Khalid Sheik Mohammed during a visit to New York to congratulate the trial team that last week won a conviction of Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, who is Osama bin Laden's son-in-law and was al-Qaida's spokesman after the 2001 attacks.
The attorney general said it was fitting that Abu Ghaith, "who publicly gloated about the attacks on the World Trade Center, stood trial near where those buildings once stood; before a jury of New Yorkers, and; in full view of many of those who lost loved ones in the attack."
He added: "This verdict has proven beyond any doubt that proceedings such as these can safely occur in the city I am proud to call home, as in other locations across our great nation."
But he said at a news conference that the success of the Abu Ghaith prosecution did not mean Mohammed could be moved to New York for a civilian trial.
"The time has passed for that determination," Holder said. "This is not a decision that we are going to revisit."
In November 2009, Holder announced that Mohammed would be tried in Manhattan courts. He reversed the decision in April 2011 amid rising political opposition and claims by city officials that a trial would damage the local economy and require hundreds of millions of dollars to boost security.
On Tuesday, Holder said he based his decision to announce Mohammed would be tried in New York on the recommendations of prosecutors in New York and the Eastern District of Virginia.
"I think the decision I announced at that time was a correct one," Holder said. "Many of the problems that we're now seeing in the military commissions were predicted in the papers that I reviewed that helped shape my decision."
When Holder announced in 2011 that Mohammed would be tried before a military tribunal, he said families of victims of the attacks deserved swift justice.
The prosecution of Mohammed and four others at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, drag on with a trial unlikely before next year.
Holder praised the handling of Abu Ghaith's case in a trial before U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan.
"The defendant was put on trial a little over a year after being captured," he said. "He was convicted on all three counts after roughly six hours of jury deliberations."
He said the government had demonstrated "great skill" in catching foreign terror suspects, obtaining high-value intelligence from them and then processing them through the civil court system, with more than 165 defendants convicted of terrorism or terrorism-related charges in U.S. courts since 2009.
"While our military courts remain an appropriate venue in certain circumstances, decisions on how best to seek convictions against terrorism defendants must always be based on prosecutorial considerations and never on political ones," he said.
Abu Ghaith, who married bin Laden's eldest daughter, is the highest-ranking al-Qaida figure brought to trial on U.S. soil since the Sept. 11 attacks. Prosecutors said he played a leading role in the terror organization's post-9/11 propaganda videos, but defense lawyers argued he was being prosecuted for his words and associations, not his deeds.
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said the conviction of Abu Ghaith had prompted some Sept. 11 families to contact his office to express "gratitude and relief that justice was done in this case."

Beleaguered Florida offensive coordinator Brent Pease said Tuesday he thinks he'll be back next season and feels he's earned the opportunity.
Beleaguered Florida offensive coordinator Brent Pease said Tuesday he thinks he'll be back next season and feels he's earned the opportunity, but he does not sound convinced that it's going to happen.
"I think, you know, you look at the first year and some of the situations and knowing the body of work and not just a game-to-game basis and situations we've been under (this season)," Pease said. "I hope any evaluations are looked at that way. But, you know, I understand things, too. It's not like ... I know you've got to win and have success. If it's not meant to be ... I came into this with friends, and I'm walking out of it with friends."
Perhaps the only Florida coach under more criticism than Will Muschamp during the Gators' current six-game losing streak is Pease, whose injury-depleted offense has dropped to last in the SEC in scoring and total yards per game.
Muschamp said after Saturday's loss that the poor play of the offense has "infected" the entire team.
On Monday, Muschamp said he has made no decisions on possible changes to his staff, but would evaluate the performances of his assistants after the season.
Pease was asked Tuesday if he believed he would be retained.
"I mean, I would hope so, but I mean, I'll kind of direct that at that time later on after this game," he said.
When asked if he felt he's earned the right to come back, Pease said, "Yes."
Pease said Muschamp has given him no indication whether or not he will be retained.
"No, not really," Pease said. "He's like, we've got a game to worry about in Florida State. It's like he said, he said to you guys yesterday, evaluation-wise we'll do that at the end of season, just like probably with coaches and players and everything else."
In his second season with the Gators, Pease's offense has been decimated by injuries. UF's starting quarterback (Jeff Driskel), starting tailback (Matt Jones), a potential starting wide receiver (Andre Debose) and both starting tackles (Tyler Moore and Chaz Green) are sidelined with season-ending injuries.
Going into Saturday's game against FSU, the offense also likely will be missing starting quarterback Tyler Murphy (shoulder) and starting left tackle D.J Humphries (sprained knee).
"You'd like to believe (criticism is unfair with all the injuries)," Pease said. "But I don't really know if that's my judgment. I mean, it's maybe something, some substance you can use later. You don't want to use it as an excuse because you've got to play with the kids you have."
Pease was asked if he felt he was being made a scapegoat.
"I don't know. That's a tough question to answer," he said. "Right now I'd say no. I mean, you can always address that question later."
During the same loss to Georgia Southern that prompted Muschamp to openly criticize the offense, the defense went somewhat unscathed by Muschamp despite giving up 429 yards rushing in the 26-20 loss.
Pease was asked if he thought that was fair.
"I look at it from a team standpoint," he said. "Our defense has held us in games ever since I've been here. We've got to either find that time where we move along and move ahead and get the points we need to win.
"Just like the other day. At the end I think we're moving down and can go ahead, at least tie the game up. A couple of throws previous to the last one we were close. We didn't get it done.
"The thing you never want to do is look into a finger-pointing situation, and I don't look at it that way. I still always look at it as we're a staff, we're a team. That's how it is. If it's coming my way, then it's coming my way. That's something you've just got to kind of take the blows."
Pease said he's been able to run his offense since he's been at UF, and that he and Muschamp are on the same page philosophically.
"We've done the things that we've done in the past," he said. "Have you had all the components in place to do some of that stuff? No, not exactly. I mean, but you've got to get players and build them and continually have depth in certain situations.
"Yeah, I know what his philosophy is. I don't know why there's a question now on it as much as he's always said philosophically we're on the same page."
Pease is not the only offensive assistant whose job appears in jeopardy. There is also growing speculation that offensive line coach Tim Davis might not be retained.
"I've learned a lot from him," senior guard Jon Halapio said of Davis. "It sucks hearing about your offensive line coach, especially because we've grown with him so much and I've gotten so close to the guy, it hurts me personally to hear he may lose his job. That's another guy I hope that he'll stick around for another couple of years.
"He wants us to finish this week strong together. This is going to be our week together as a group so whoever is leaving — seniors or if he's leaving or whatever the case may be — this will be our last week together so he wants us to finish strong together."

Chrome Radial Winches are designed for sailors who want the elegance of mirror-polished chrome to enhance their yacht's lines. They feature chrome drums, black composite bases and tops, and come in 1-, 2-, or 3-speed self-tailing styles. The drum's gripping surface is shaped for each winch size and drum material and features diagonal ribs (rather than textured abrasive materials) to maximize gripping power and greatly reduce line wear. When easing, the angle of the ribs stops line from rising, preventing overrides and providing a smooth controlled release as the line exits the winch. High-strength composite self-tailing jaws and skirt save weight. Composite roller bearings reduce friction under load and don't require lubrication. Load-carrying gears and pins are 17-4PH stainless steel for strength and durability.Small Boat winches are available in single speed. Self-tailing models sizes 60 and up come in two or three speeds.

Conquest is an objective game mode where two teams (12 vs 12 on consoles / 16 vs 16 or 32 vs 32 on PC) fight over several neutral flags. The flags will be set out around each map, and can easily be taken over by standing next to them. It takes 20 seconds to neutralize a flag, and another 20 seconds to capture the flag for your team. The more players near the flag, the faster it will capture. Once the flag is captured, the entire team will be able to spawn at that flag. Enemy vehicles will be replaced by friendly vehicles (e.g. T-90A turning into an M1 ABRAMS).
The team with the least amount of flags during the game will have one Respawn Ticket taken away every two seconds. Killing players and forcing them to respawn will also take away Respawn Tickets from the other team. The first team to deplete all their opposing team's Respawn Tickets will win the game.

Who owns the land? Only the land knows. We mortals are passersby, and our lives are but a brief moment in the great span of time and space. We are born, we live out our lives, and most of us do the best we can with it, but the wind is forever, and the rivers flow forever to the sea, and all the seasons of the weathers will come and go after we are gone. But the Earth endures, the Earth is eternal" - Earl Hamner

The POWER OF ONE
One person can reach out to hundreds of their friends, family members and co-workers to ask for support in raising thousands of dollars to help fund important research in multiple myeloma, an incurable blood cancer. The MMRF supports research that is extending lives, getting patients to trials 60% faster than the industry average, and working toward a cure. One person can take something that they love - running, cycling, swimming - and use that passion to do something very powerful.
These fundraising campaigns work because of the power of many. Many people contribute whatever they can. Before long, many smaller donations combine to help our team members achieve their fundraising goals. Together, many athletes can unite to reach the team fundraising goal and make a huge impact.
The mission of the MMRF is to relentlessly pursue innovative means that accelerate the development of next-generation multiple myeloma treatments to extend the lives of people with multiple myeloma and lead to a cure.
Since its inception in 1998, the MMRF has raised more than $225 million, making it the world's leading private funder of myeloma research to deliver new treatments to patients faster.
The work of the MMRF contributed to the FDA approval of six new drugs for multiple myeloma in less then a decade – a track record unparalleled in oncology. Due to their success in myeloma, these same drugs are now being explored as potential treatments for more than 30 other cancers.
Please support our PowerTeam members as they tap into their power to make the difference.

JUPITER, FL., Dec. 6, 2012 – Jones Lang LaSalle announced today that development has been completed at the new Jupiter, Fla. state-of-the-art LEED Gold-certified research center for the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience, the first U.S.-based institute of the Max Planck Society, a leading global scientific research organization based in Munich, Germany. Through basic research, the Florida Institute's scientists are focused on the nervous system, its capacity to produce perception, thought, language, memory, action and emotion, and could lead to better research diagnostics and treatments for brain disorders.
Developed to attract world-class scientists and support sensitive advanced diagnostics equipment, the three-story, 100,000-square-foot facility includes 57,600 square feet of dedicated laboratory space and sits on six acres at Florida Atlantic University's John D. MacArthur Campus. The project was primarily funded by the State of Florida and Palm Beach County, which received more than $180 million in public funding, including $66 million for the construction of the facility itself.
Jones Lang LaSalle Project and Development Services served as program manager, overseeing development and construction of the project. ZGF Architects LLP designed the building, while The Weitz Company and DPR Construction partnered to act as construction manager.
"It takes a highly technical and multi-disciplinary team to deliver a building with this level of sophistication on time and under budget," said Ian Leveroni, Senior Project Manager, Jones Lang LaSalle. "We realized complex requirements for the three distinct research wings, including executing highly technical specifications for sensitive equipment and supporting regulatory compliance."
Beyond Biology: Building Features and Design Drive Innovation, CollaborationThe build-to-suit facility provides an optimized environment for on-site bio-imaging, laser microscopy, wet- and dry-bench research, instrumentation, computational research and core imaging. The building structure provides high levels of stiffness and vibration isolation to enable sensitive imaging technologies, and is flexible to accommodate an evolving research mission.
Designed to foster productivity and collaboration, the building's conference rooms, research library facilities, 100-seat auditorium, lounges and administration offices are centrally located around an open lobby that connects all three levels. A large atrium is directly connected to an outdoor terrace on the second floor and provides a central gathering space. Construction of the new facility also features outdoor seating, a 230-space surface parking lot and pedestrian-friendly pathways.
"The new building provides a dynamic environment for our scientists and research teams, promotes scientific ideas exchange in a flexible, open setting, and serves as a welcoming center for scientists from around the world who come to collaborate with our scientific community," said Dr. David Fitzpatrick, Scientific Director and CEO of the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience.
The building has earned LEED NC 2.2 Gold certification with an energy consumption plan that not only meets the requirements of the U.S. Green Building Council's accreditation program, but also supplements laboratory-specific energy-use reduction recommendations from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lab 21 environmental performance criteria. This is accomplished through the inclusion of features such as external sunshades calibrated to provide ample daylight while minimizing heat and glare; an air-conditioning zoning strategy that reduces loads; energy recovery wheels that capture useable energy from building exhaust; and, dehumidification that contributes to the building's cooling system. Additionally, landscaping features drought-tolerant native species and irrigation will be provided by a municipal reclaimed water system.
