Reviews for Penne Gorgonzola with Chicken(23)
Sort By :
Everyone enjoyed it, but personally, I felt the Gorgonzola was a little overpowering. I think if I make it again, I'll do half the Gorgonzola and then add in another type of cheese.
It was easy, quick and made a nice presentation. We don't like sage so I omitted it. I also added mushrooms and real bacon pieces. We liked it but thought it would be MUCH better with smoked Gouda instead of the Gorgonzola, which taste too much like blue cheese for our taste.
Loved it
This was pretty good, but I think next time, I will put half the cheese in and double the wine
Truly, this recipe is nothing more than a glorified mac & cheese, with chicken added! It is flavorful. I used more wine instead of chicken broth. I wasn't going to open a can of chicken broth for only 1/4 cup! That's just wasteful! The recipe was worth a try, but I would not make it again.

We envision a model community that respects its historical legacy and celebrates the unique diversity of its people and culture.
Three years ago, the life of El Chorrillo resident Julia Sánchez, in her own words, "had no direction". In her home there was never enough money to make ends meet and in her mind she could not see a way out of poverty for her family.
When she happened upon our CAPTA Program, which offered to open opportunities in the hospitality industry through personal development and vocational courses, she took a chance and enrolled. CAPTA stands for "Capacitación para el Trabajo" in Spanish.
It is an intense seven-week course, which we founded to provide job training for women from the neighborhoods of San Felipe, Santa Ana, El Chorrillo and Calidonia.
Our formula for the program's success is what happens before the women even get to the arts of housekeeping, food handling and customer service: We spend the first four weeks of the program working on the women as individuals and building a sense of team. This intense "Foundation Cycle" includes professionally taught workshops on emotional intelligence, resentment and forgiveness, personal finance, effective communication, personal image and beauty, first aid and other subjects, along with frequent one-on-one counseling sessions with the program's psychologists.
For Julia Sánchez, the chance paid off. Since 2008 she has been permanently employed at the boutique hotel Canal House and believes she will have saved enough to buy her own home within two years.
Julia's story seems to be more the rule than the exception. Since starting the program in 2007, over 180 women have graduated, and according to our records, more than 85% of the graduates have found permanent employment. Part of the reason for the high success rate is undoubtedly our alliance with Empresas Bern's Panama International Hotel School in Ciudad del Saber, which provides Panama's most advanced hospitality training. The cost of putting a woman through CAPTA is around $900. We definitely look at this as a long-term investment other than charity, because we believe that as long as we have stories like this one, we are making better not just a woman's life but also her family's. We can be positive that we are achieving our mission and getting closer to the model community that we envision.

Brandon Underwood: No More Second Chances
If you haven't heard by now, Green Bay Packers cornerback Brandon Underwood is once again in trouble with Lady Justice. WLUK Fox 11 News in Northeast Wisconsin cracked the story yesterday of Underwood's alleged altercation with his wife, Brandie, on June 16th, the night he and his teammates received their Super Bowl XLV Championship Rings.
According to Mrs. Underwood's story, the two were having an argument that evening on their way home from the ring ceremony. Brandon Underwood allegedly became incensed over her wearing the Super Bowl necklace given to her by the Packers organization, then ripped it off her neck while still in their car.
Underwood was then said to have gotten out of the car, walked around to the passenger side door, and dragged Brandie from the vehicle before driving away. She immediately phoned the police, and Underwood was arrested upon his return.
The couple is reportedly going through a divorce.
This incident comes not long after Underwood was the center of attention in an alleged sexual assault case involving two women at a Wisconsin Dells hotel last year. Though nothing came of the women's claims about the sex being forced on them, Underwood did enter a no-contest plea to one count of prostitution non-marital sexual intercourse last March.
He was fined $379.00 by a Sauk County judge.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007

Gas resources are not particularly large, by Middle East standards: proved reserves (as reported by OAPEC) account for less than 5% of the regional total. Most other published sources quote the same figure, the one exception being World Oil, with proved reserves given as 2 379 bcm.
According to data reported by Cedigaz, 70% of Iraq's proved reserves consist of associated gas, whilst cap gas and non-associated gas account for 15% each. A high proportion of gas output is thus associated with oil production: some of the associated gas is flared.
Between 1986 and 1990 Iraq exported gas to Kuwait. Currently all gas usage is internal, as fuel for electricity generation, as a feedstock and fuel for the production of fertilisers and petrochemicals, and as a fuel in oil and gas industry operations.

Securities Dispute Resolution Triathlon
October 18 - 19, 2014
The Securities Dispute Resolution Triathlon is a joint initiative of the Hugh L. Carey Center for Dispute Resolution and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). For two days, student teams from law schools around the country meet to test their advocacy skills in the negotiation, mediation and arbitration of a securities dispute. The Triathlon is not a competition of physical endurance, but of dispute resolution competence. Students play the roles of attorneys and clients, with some teams in the role of investor and others in the role of broker-dealer. Members of FINRA's roster of experienced neutrals serve as mediators, arbitrators and judges, critiquing the student teams and offering the students an invaluable real-life experience. By challenging students to negotiate, mediate, and arbitrate in a single competition, this one-of-a-kind event gives students an opportunity to hone their advocacy skills in a realistic and comprehensive securities dispute experience.
Please see the links in the right sidebar box or contact us for more information on the Triathlon's format and rules and to view a sample agenda.

When it's time to get off the tired knees and straighten the aching back (but the job isn't finished), my mini adjustable mechanic bar seat is a welcome relief! Providing support for my derriere and work tools, I can maneuver around easily on the 5 wheels and set the seat height just where I need to get the work finished.
Actually, I've quickly figured out that starting my task using the stool for support, instead of kneeling all the time, helps prevent my back and knee discomfort from setting in...Built in Ergonomics! It is light enough to be very portable, but solid enough to support my medium frame. The range of hydraulic seat adjustment is excellent and the round tool tray keeps my smaller hand tools all together...Nice addition to my workshop efficiency (and Back & Knee Health)!

The Mechanics seat worked as promised, but for me (big guy) I felt like the base was too small and could tip if I hit a rock on the driveway (I live on a dirt rd. and there are usually some small stones on the driveway). I already own a Craftsman Mechanics Seat ( old school wood seat, lower profile & square) and decided it was OK for now, may just use better wheels.

Hard to find "stuff" he doesn't have. While watching him wax the cars, thought this seat would be a hit. WOW. He really likes the up-down adjustments available. Seat goes really high! He also got two dog-bones and was impressed with those and the fact that they fit on the tray of the seat. The tray is actually big enough to be useful.

when I saw the flat box this came in I was expecting it to be a complete assembly required, but I was pleasantly surprised it came in three pieces, the seat assembly, the strut, and the base. assembly couldn't have been easier, insert strut to seat bracket, insert other end of strut to base... and off you roll

Don't waist your money. As soon as warranty ( 1 year ) runs out the seat will not stay adjusted. Set on it and it slowly goes down.
For $35.00 and one year warranty, not worth the price. Shortly after warranty it quit. Seat will no longer stay up, cylinder must have gave out. Very seldom used for such a short life.

Owned my seat for less than a year and one of the wheels are about to fall apart. I could of saved money and bought one from ************** if i would of known it wasn't going to last very long

Not much to say - its a stool. The swiveling is easy, there is no slop in the seat or seat post, and so far the up and down mechanism has worked flawlessly. I really like the 5 wheels - it helps the base to move smoothly. It is not very tall though, its barely tall enough for me to use at my workbench. Its the perfect height for working on things at the brake/tire level and I constantly use the base tray when working on my classic Mustang. Would give 5 stars if the post extended higher.

Research Centers
Whether in a laboratory or a clinic, looking through a microscope or listening though a stethoscope, Meharry's investigators are translating research into cures.
Center for Women's Health Research—addressing diseases unique to women, particularly those experienced at higher rates among minority populations. Current and future research studies at the CWHR are in the areas of reproductive health, cardiovascular disease, HIV/AIDS, breast cancer, and social and environmental factors in women's health, as well as health care access and quality.
Center for AIDS Health Disparities Research—unraveling the biology of HIV/AIDS and seeking remedies for the populations most affected. The CAHDR has three major areas of focus: biology, behavioral, and community outreach. Researchers at the CAHDR study new mechanisms of HIV infections, pathogenesis, immunity, and development of novel means for intervention.
The Meharry Translational Research Center (MeTRC)—a training infrastructure that serves as an incubator for Meharry scientists who pursue translational research.The scientists in the Meharry Translational Research Center look for treatments for diseases and health disorders that disproportionately impact minorities. Areas of emphasis include infectious diseases (especially HIV/AIDS) and women's health.
Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience—understanding the brain's circuitry/chemistry as it relates to human behavior and thereby treat dementia, Parkinson's, addictions, and other psycho-social disorders. The mission of the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience is to conduct research in all phases—basic, translational, clinical, social, and behavioral—that will generate new knowledge and perhaps reduce health disparities in neurological disease and mental health.

Standardization policy
KAN's work in this field includes the following topics:
European standardization policy
Contact: Corado Mattiuzzo (email@example.com)
In Europe, standardization policy is the responsibility of the European Commission, the EU member states and the European standards organizations CEN, CENELEC and ETSI along with their national members. The cooperation between these parties is based on Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council on European standardisation. In the "Internal Market for Products - Expert Group for Accreditation and Conformity Assessment Policy", the European Commission's Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry (DG ENTR) consults with representatives of the member states on key standardization issues, often resulting in communications being issued by the Commission and the Council.
For further information on the subject, see:
- KANBrief 4/12: Updating of the European standardization system
- KANBrief 3/11: The European standardization system is to be improved

The role of standardization in relation to safety and health of workers at work – the German Consensus Statement
Contact: Angela Janowitz (email@example.com)
The"German Consensus Statement on Standardization in the Field of Directives based on Article 118a of the EC Treaty" was drawn up to reiterate the fact that the European legal system does not provide for complete harmonization of this area of social policy. At the European level, both standardization experts and the EU Treaty and institutions continue to support the view that standards can only ever be applied to a very limited extent in the field of social policy.Nonetheless, national, European and international standards repeatedly include requirements concerning safety and health of workers at work. This must be prevented or, if prevention is not possible, efforts must be made to create a clear distinction between product requirements and workplace requirements. At the same time, however, the growth of standardization activity at an international level presents the OSH community with the task of further developing its strategy for standardization and the occupational safety and health of workers at work. As a first step, KAN described in KANBrief 2/09 the current limits of and scope for standardization in this field.
For further information on the subject, see:
International harmonization
Contact: Corado Mattiuzzo (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Increasingly, technical standards are being drawn up at the international level. This development is being bolstered by international trade agreements, with the result that both European and German standards are increasingly based on the outcomes of international standardization activities. This is also true of standards related to occupational health and safety. It is therefore becoming ever more important that the OH&S sphere exerts an effective influence, as early as possible, on ISO's standardization work.
For further information on the subject, see:
- KAN Report 34: Possible influence of the OHS sector on ISO standardization
- KANBrief 4/03: International standardization from the viewpoint of occupational health and safety experts
- KAN Report 29: International standards for the elimination of barriers to trade
- KANBrief 1/01: International harmonization – The consequences for occupational health and safety; International harmonization – The employers' perspective
Presumption of conformity
Contact: Corado Mattiuzzo (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Section 4.3, "Presumption of conformity", of the Guide to the implementation of directives based on the New Approach and the Global Approach[1] states the following:
"Conformity with a national standard that transposes a harmonised standard, whose reference has been published, confers a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the applicable New Approach directive that is covered by such a standard."
Nonetheless, rather than relying purely on the normative content, users of standards should also always examine all of the available information concerning how exhaustive the standards are. Even the fact that a standard's reference has been published in the Official Journal does not guarantee that the standard covers all the necessary aspects. To be completely on the safe side and to minimize the possibility of unpleasant surprises, users of standards should also carry out a risk assessment, especially if such an assessment is required by law anyway for the product in question.
For further information on the subject, see:
[1] This "Blue Guide" (http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/policies/single-market-goods/documents/blue-guide/index_en.htm), as it is known, has to be revised due to the adoption of the New Legislative Framework. However, the only impact the revision will have in this context is that the requirement for publication at the national level is likely to be dropped.
Ansprechpartner: Corado Mattiuzzo (firstname.lastname@example.com)
In Kapitel 4.3 "Konformitätsvermutung" des Leitfadens für die Umsetzung der nach dem neuen Konzept und dem Gesamtkonzept verfassten Richtlinien[1] steht:
"Bei Konformität mit einer nationalen Norm, soweit es sich um die Umsetzung einer harmonisierten Norm handelt, deren Fundstelle veröffentlicht wurde, ist davon auszugehen, dass die wesentlichen Anforderungen der anwendbaren Richtlinie des neuen Konzepts, auf die sich eine solche Norm bezieht, erfüllt sind."
Anwender von Normen sollten sich jedoch nicht alleine auf den normativen Inhalt verlassen, sondern zusätzlich immer alle verfügbaren Informationen hinsichtlich der Vollständigkeit von Normen prüfen. Selbst die Veröffentlichung der Fundstelle einer Norm im Amtsblatt ist noch keine Gewähr für Vollständigkeit einer Norm. Um wirklich auf der sicheren Seite zu sein und damit unliebsame Überraschungen möglichst zu vermeiden, sollten Normanwender, insbesondere wenn dies von den gesetzlichen Vorschriften für das betreffende Produkt gefordert wird, zusätzlich eine Risikobeurteilung durchführen.

New standardization products
Contact: Katharina von Rymon Lipinski (email@example.com)
Besides traditional standards, new standardization products are increasingly emerging which can be grouped under the heading of "specifications". These documents include CEN Workshop Agreements (CWAs) and Publicly Available Specifications (PAS). Although they are drafted under the auspices of standards organizations, they differ from traditional standards in that they do not reflect a consensus between all stakeholders. Originally, these specifications were intended for fast-moving sectors such as that of information technology, since they can be produced within a short space of time.
Increasingly, specifications are also being used to address health and safety topics. As a result, they become a subject of attention for occupational safety and health. KAN, the Commission for Occupational Health and Safety and Standardization, rejects the use of CWAs and PAS for regulation of these aspects, since such specifications present various problems in their production and use. In order for the German OSH lobby to carry its position through, at European and international as well as national level, KAN is preparing a position paper on the subject.
For further information on the subject, see:

Yahya Abdul-Aziz Jemus Junkung Jammeh (Arabic: يحيى عبدالعزيز جيمس جنكنج جامع; born 25 May 1965)[3] is the president of the Gambia. As a young army officer, he took power in a July 1994 military coup and was elected as President in 1996; he was re-elected in 2001, 2006, and 2011.
President Jammeh received a secondary school education in the Gambia, joined the Gambian National Army in 1984, was commissioned a Lieutenant in 1989, and in 1992 became commander of the Gambian Military Police.[4] He received extensive military training in neighboring Senegal and at United States Army School of the Americas.[citation needed]
Rise to powerEdit
On 22 July 1994, a group of young officers in the Gambian National Army seized power from President Dawda Jawara in a military coup by taking control of key facilities in the capital city, Banjul.[5] The coup took place without bloodshed and met with very little resistance.[5] The group identified itself as the Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council (AFPRC). Jammeh, who was 29 years old at the time, was the chairman of the AFPRC. The AFPRC then suspended the constitution, sealed the borders, and implemented a curfew. While Jammeh's new government justified the coup by decrying corruption and lack of democracy under the Jawara regime, army personnel had also been dissatisfied with their salaries, living conditions, and prospects for promotion.[5]
Jammeh founded the Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction as his political party. He was elected as president in September 1996.[6] Foreign observers did not deem these elections free and fair.[6] He was re-elected on 18 October 2001 with about 53% of the vote; this election was generally deemed free and fair by observers,[7] despite some very serious shortcomings ranging from overt government intimidation of voters to technical innovations (such as raising the required deposit to stand for election by a factor of 25) to distort the process in favour of the incumbent regime.[8]
A coup attempt against Jammeh was reported to have been thwarted on 21 March 2006; Jammeh, who was in Mauritania at the time, quickly returned home. Army chief of staff Col. Ndure Cham, the alleged leader of the plot,[9] reportedly fled to neighboring Senegal, while other alleged conspirators were arrested[10] and were put on trial for treason.[11] In April 2007, ten former officers accused of involvement were convicted and given prison sentences; four of them were sentenced to life in prison.[12]
Jammeh ran for a third term in the presidential election held on 22 September 2006; the election was initially planned for October but was moved forward because of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.[citation needed] He was re-elected with 67.3% of the vote and was declared the winner of the election; the opposition candidate Ousainou Darboe finished second, as in 2001.[13]
In November 2011, Jammeh was again re-elected as president for a fourth term in office, reportedly having received 72% of the popular vote.
According to Gambian newspaper The Daily Observer, the new U.S. Ambassador to the Gambia, Edward M. "Ned" Alford, speaking to reporters shortly after presenting his letters of credence to the Gambian leader, said that he discussed with the president the strong relationship that binds Banjul and Washington. "A relationship built on history of students' exchange. Today, many Gambians studied and continue to study in America. Based on the history of the Peace Corps, so many young Americans have served here and gone back to the US, telling great stories about this country. We also discussed issue concerning economic ties."[14]
Senegal Soldier ReleaseEdit
According to The Daily Observer, on 10 December 2012, President Jammeh secured the release of Senegalese soldiers who had been held as hostages by rebels in Senegal. Relations between the Gambia and Senegal have reported to be very strong, and regional leaders have recognized President Jammeh's role as a strong, regional peacekeeper.[15]
Senegal Peace TalksEdit
In keeping with his reputation as a regional peacekeeper, President Jammeh sent a delegation to meet with Senegalese President Mackey Sall in early December 2012. The delegation's goal was to discuss a resolution to the ongoing civil unrest in Senegal's southern region of Cassamance.[16]
Members of the delegation included the Minister of Presidential Affairs, the U.S. Ambassador to the Gambia, and members from the Red Cross and Red Crescent.[16]
Jammeh Foundation for PeaceEdit
The Jammeh Foundation for Peace (JFP) was created by President Jammeh to help eradicate poverty among Gambians, improve agricultural production, and sponsor educational opportunities for needy students.
The Foundation has a hospital that is sponsored by the president and provides medical services to every one irrespective of age, religion, sex and gender or political affiliation.[17]
Charitable GivingEdit
Donations in 2012 included $2,563,138 to the National Youths Conference and Festival (NAYCONF),[18] and "two truckloads of turkey" to the Gambia Christian Council for delivery to the Christian community.[19]
On 15 May 2008, Jammeh announced that his government would introduce legislation that would set laws against homosexuals that would be "stricter than those in Iran", and that he would "cut off the head" of any gay or lesbian person discovered in the country.[20] News reports indicated his government intended to execute all homosexuals in the country.[20] In the speech given in Tallinding, Jammeh gave a "final ultimatum" to any gays or lesbians in the Gambia to leave the country.[20] In a speech to the United Nations on September 27, 2013, Jammeh said that "[h]omosexuality in all its forms and manifestations which, though very evil, antihuman as well as anti-Allah, is being promoted as a human right by some powers," and that those who do so "want to put an end to human existence."[21]
Claims of medical treatments and curesEdit
In January 2007, Jammeh claimed he could cure HIV/AIDS and asthma with natural herbs.[22][23] His claimed treatment program includes instructing patients to cease taking their anti-retroviral drugs.[24][25] His claims have been criticized for promoting unscientific treatment that could have dangerous results, due to the belief that those discharged from his program cannot infect others.[22][23] In December 2011, he restated during an interview that the alleged cure for HIV/AIDS was "going very well".[26]
Fadzai Gwaradzimba, the country representative of the United Nations Development Programme in the Gambia, was told to leave the country after she expressed doubts about the claims and said the remedy might encourage risky behaviour.[27] In August 2007, Jammeh claimed to have developed a single dose herbal infusion that could treat high blood pressure.[28] Jammeh has also claimed to develop a treatment for infertility in women as part of what is called the President's Alternative Treatment Program (PATP).[29][30][31]
Historical claimsEdit
According to the Daily Observer newspaper, Jammeh claimed on 26 July 2010, that the Gambia had played an important role in the aviation industry, specifically, "that the first Atlantic flight and the first flight from Eastern Europe landed in the Gambia."[32] At the same time Jammeh also stated that "this country is one of the oldest and biggest countries in Africa that was reduced to a small snake by the British government who sold all our lands to the French."[32]
President Jammeh, like the majority of Gambians,[3] is a practising Muslim.[33]
In July 2010, Jammeh stressed that people should believe in God, saying that "If you don't believe in God, you can never be grateful to humanity and you are even below a pig."[34]
In 2011 he told the BBC that "I will deliver to the Gambian people and if I have to rule this country for one billion years, I will, if Allah says so."[35]
Restrictions to press freedomEdit
Jammeh has been accused of restricting freedom of the press. Harsh new press laws were followed by the unsolved killing of Deyda Hydara, editor of The Point tabloid. Hydara, who had been mildly critical of the Jammeh regime, was brutally gunned down in December 2004. Alhagie Martin, one of Jammeh's closest military aides, has been named in connection with Hydara's killing. It has, however, not been possible to verify the allegation linking Martin with Hydara's slaying. It is widely believed that Jammeh is responsible for Hydara's murder.[36] Jammeh has denied that security agents were involved in the killing.[37]
In April 2004 he called on journalists to obey his government "or go to hell". In June 2005 he stated on radio and television that he has allowed "too much expression" in the country.[38]
In July 2006, journalist Ebrima Manneh of The Daily Observer was reportedly arrested by state security after attempting to republish a BBC report criticizing Jammeh shortly before an African Union meeting in Banjul; his arrest was witnessed by coworkers.[39] Though ordered to release Manneh by an Economic Community of West African States court, the Gambian government denied that Manneh was imprisoned.[40] According to AFP, an unnamed police source confirmed Manneh's arrest in April 2009, but added he believed Manneh "is no longer alive".[40] Amnesty International named Manneh a prisoner of conscience and a 2011 "priority case".[41] The Committee to Protect Journalists has also called for his release.[39]
Alleged human rights abusesEdit
On 10 and 11 April 2000, the government was accused in the killing of 12 students and a journalist during a student demonstration to protest the death of a student in the Gambia. Jammeh was accused of ordering the shooting of the students, but the government denied the allegations. A government commission of inquiry reportedly concluded that the Police Intervention Unit (PIU) officers were "largely responsible" for many of the deaths and other injuries. The commission also said that five soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Battalion were responsible for the deaths of two students at Brikama. The government stated that the report implicated several PIU officers in the students' deaths and injuries, but those responsible were not prosecuted.[42]
Newspaper reports list dozens of individuals who have disappeared after being picked up by men in plain-clothes, and others who have languished under indefinite detention for months or years without charge or trial.[43] The regional Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) court ordered the Gambia government to produce one journalist who was disappeared.[44][45][46]
In March 2009 Amnesty International reported that up to 1,000 Gambians had been abducted by government-sponsored "witch doctors" on charges of witchcraft, and taken to detention centers where they were forced to drink poisonous concoctions.[47] On 21 May 2009, The New York Times reported that the alleged witch-hunting campaign had been sparked by the President Yahya Jammeh, who believed that the death of his aunt earlier that year could be attributed to witchcraft.[48] Jammeh has also been linked with the 2004 massacre of 44 Ghanaian migrants and 10 other ECOWAS nationals.[49][50][51]
Death penaltyEdit
Though previously regarded by Amnesty International as "abolitionist in practice", having had no executions since 1985,[52] on 27 August 2012, the Gambian government confirmed that nine prisoners were executed by firing squad.[53] This followed President Jammeh's stated intention to carry out all death penalties before mid-September amid protests from the European Union countries and others.[54]
Personal lifeEdit
Jammeh's first marriage ended in divorce.[55] Jammeh married his second wife Zeinab Suma Jammeh, in 1999,[55] and they have two children as of 2007: a daughter, Mariam Jammeh, and a son, Muhammed Yahya Jammeh. The latter was born in late 2007, when his daughter was eight years old.[56] Both of his children were born in Washington, D. C., and U.S. citizenship recognition was requested for the first child – but her request was denied (because, as a child of a foreign person holding diplomatic exemption status, she was not considered subject to the jurisdiction of the United States when born, as is required for birthright citizenship in the United States).[57]
On 30 September 2010, Jammeh announced his marriage to a 21-year-old (or possibly 18-year-old[1]) additional wife by the name Ms. Alima Sallah, daughter of Mr Omar Gibril Sallah, Gambia's current Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, and Mrs Zahra Sallah.[55][58] It was announced that his new wife would officially be referred to as Lady Alima Yahya Jammeh, and would not be referred to as a "first lady", since Zeinab Suma Jammeh is the official "first lady".[58]
According to at least one source, his marriage to Ms. Sallah was a shock to his other wife Zeinab Suma Jammeh, and the additional marriage led to strains in their relationship and even plans for their divorce.[59] Zeinab Jammeh had reportedly already been living in the U.S. separately from her husband for some time.[59] Ms. Sallah reportedly also left Gambia for the U.S. in June 2010.[59] According to the same publication, he then divorced Ms. Sallah in early 2011.[1][2]
Women's rightsEdit
President Jammeh has demonstrated positive action for women's rights:[citation needed]
- President Jammeh's cabinet includes a Secretary of State for Women's Affairs, a top post which is currently held by Isatou Njie-Saidy.[60]
- According to a 2012 Associated Press article, "Yahya Jammeh...has made progress on issues such as women's rights. "[61]
Public Health ProgressEdit
Under President Jammeh, the Gambia has improved public health. In October 2012, it was reported that the Gambia has made significant improvements in polio, measles immunization, and the PCV-7 vaccine.[62]
The Gambia was certified as polio-free in 2004. "the Gambia EPI program is one of the best in the WHO African Region, " Thomas Sukwa, a representative of the World Health Organization, said, according to the Foroyaa Newspaper. "It is indeed gratifying to note that the government of the Gambia remains committed to the global polio eradication initiative. "[62]
Titles and stylesEdit
The official title used is His Excellency Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr. Yahya Abdul-Azziz Jemus Junkung Jammeh Naasiru Deen.[63] He is Commander In Chief of The Armed Forces and Chief Custodian of the Sacred Constitution of the Gambia.[64]
Awards and honorsEdit
Jammeh has received Honorary Doctorates from St. Mary's College of Maryland,[65] Universidad Empresarial de Costa Rica, Norman Academy,[66] and National Taipei University of Technology.[67]
He has received awards through the unrecognised higher education accreditation organisation the International Parliament for Safety and Peace, including a peace award,[68] the honorary title of Kentucky colonel[69] and the tongue-in-cheek award of Nebraska Admiral[70][71][72][73] Jennifer Rae Hein, a spokeswoman for the Governor of Nebraska, acknowledged that Jammeh was granted an admiralship in the Nebraska Navy,[74] but later stated "We regret that this individual has attempted to embellish a certificate for a Nebraska admiralship, claiming that it was a high honor bestowed upon him by the governor, when to the best of our knowledge, this person has no relationship with or ties to Nebraska.

Lake Waccamaw, largest of the famed and unique array known as the "Carolina bays," has incurred a persistent illness. Full recovery may never be achieved.
Hydrilla, often compared to another fast-growing Asian import, kudzu, has invaded the popular Columbus County lake.
There is a course of treatment: regular applications of the herbicide fluridone, most likely followed by the introduction of grass carp, which eat the plant. But that's reactive. And there's a complication - a link to a toxic algae that kills waterfowl and the raptors that prey on them.
The lake's ecology probably is changing, forever. Less clear are the extent of the plant's spread and the incidental damage.
Maybe there's one more.
Because hydrilla's usual conveyance is a boat propeller, no body of water suitable for motorized boating is safe, and few will avoid infestation.
If technology can send a spacecraft to a moon of a distant planet, map the human genome and scan the digital mail of every American, can't it develop a wash or spray that kills this stuff on contact?
Much of the threat would still lie hidden underwater. But if hydrilla's advance can be slowed by having boats (and the wheels of the vehicles towing them) pass through a decontamination point going to and from the launch ramp, the outlook for our state's beautiful waters will be less bleak.

December 13th, 2006: Dudes it was my 900th comic yesterday! Sort of! I think some of the numbers are missing due to problems when I moved to my database-driven backend, but we will ignore that. 900 comics! That means in 100 comics it will be 1000 comics! Will Dinosaur Comics explode when that happens? WILL YOU?? There is one way to find out. Thank you everyone for making doing these comics such an enjoyable thing to do, and also my job! It is the best job in the world and I feel awesome at parties explaining to people what I do and they don't get how it is even possible
So hey, what about Child's Play? It is a charity organized by
the Penny Arcade dudes that sends toys, games and money to hospitals in need, so that children staying there can have a slightly better time when they're away from their families. 100% of the money raised goes to this cause: there's no administration fees or anything! It is a very good charity.
Inspired by David's
good example, I am putting up my own auction!
100% of the money raised from this auction will go to Child's Play. This is an auction for the second painting I ever did! Well actually it is the fourth, since I did the first three all at once and sold them as a set last year. THIS painting is black and white and shows T-Rex stomping on a tiny woman, who is so intense that a starburst radiates from her very head. Also there are halftone dots for that pop-art flair. I painted it when I was sad, therefore it is black and white! That is how emotions work, everyone. That is how emotions work in artists.
You can bid here! Imagine having this painting until the day you are dead.
Also my friend Poster Child is holding his own Child's Play auctions, and one's for a painting he's done of a Boomer from Battlestar Galactica as a retro Cylon. Is it not adorable? It is adorable. You can bid here, and also
he's got another Child's Play auction here! To make sure the best gifts ever in time get to you when you want them, here are the HOLIDAY SHIPPING DEADLINES. Orders placed before these dates will get to you in time for Christmas! One year ago today: if regret parties catch on and become a hipster trend I TOTALLY WANT THE CREDIT – Ryan
December 5th: All shipping methods except U.S.P.S. First-Class Package International Service� are safe.
December 6th: International orders made not selecting U.S.P.S. Priority Mail Express International� shipping will likely arrive in January.
December 11th: USPS FIRST CLASS and STANDARD may not make it in time and neither will USPS EXPRESS MAIL INTERNATIONAL.
December 16th: ALMOST NOTHING IS SAFE. USPS EXPRESS is the only safe USPS option.
December 19th: A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE (IF THINGS PLACED ON OR AFTER THIS DATE ARRIVE BY THE 24TH, THAT IS)

Agreement, which follows years of wrangling, would provide room for 1,850 more inmates.
By SARAH de CRESCENZO / THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
LAKE FOREST – Years of negotiation over the expansion of the James A. Musick Facility, which sits on 100 acres of unincorporated land between Lake Forest and Irvine, have resulted in a proposal to increase the inmate population but limit inmates to those who pose a "low security threat."
The City Council Tuesday will consider the proposed agreement with the county and the Orange County Sheriff's Department, which would allow the jail's capacity to increase to 3,100 from 1,250. Minimum- and medium-security prisoners, or Level 1 and Level 2 inmates, would be housed at the jail.
•Limit inmate population to 3,100
•Limit type of inmate to Levels 1 and 2
•Set maximum building height at 50 feet
•Limit access from Bake Parkway (on future access route) to emergencies
•Monitor inmates via cameras, other surveillance measures
•House majority of inmates in dormitory-style rooms
Expansion beyond 3,100 inmates would be allowed if the Sheriff's Department could demonstrate a need for additional jail space or because of state or federal mandates.
Getting to a compromise took nearly a decade of talks between law enforcement and city officials, said Rick Dostal, executive director of administrative services for the Sheriff's Department.
"Jail expansion isn't easy," Dostal said. "I'm glad to see we're about to wrap this up."
Dostal said the current need for expansion is driven by prison realignment, which, in an attempt to ease overcrowding, moved convicted felons considered "low-risk" offenders to local jails from state prisons.
If the deal is approved, the department plans to initially expand Musick by 512 beds, Dostal said. Construction is expected to take up to five years.
Although the contract would allow an additional 1,850 inmates, Dostal said it could be "decades" before the jail hits that number.
Mayor Kathryn McCullough said approval would mean the community has achieved a longstanding goal of "preventing maximum-security inmates from being housed at Musick and restricting its growth."
Under the deal, Lake Forest promises to support the county's Master Plan for the jail and not sue the county or Sheriff's Department if the agreement's conditions are upheld.
The council will discuss the jail expansion at 7 p.m. today at Lake Forest City Hall, 25550 Commercentre Drive.

Building a new PC- DONE!! PICTURE TIME!!
06-22-2009 #2
Is this going to be a gaming PC or what?
The second build seems better to me.
If this will be a gaming PC, get a 700w PSU if possible. It will ensure everything runs well. I would also suggest you go with a 20" monitor at least. It's not something you would upgrade much, if at all for several years. Get a decent one so you don't be put off by gaming on a small screen. The graphic cards on both build are fine and will be able to run most, if not all games easily (maybe not Crysis maxed).

What's your budget?
06-22-2009 #4
Around £600 strictly.
But i am on a strict budget so...
Also the 17 inch laptop i got now is more than big enough with 1440x900.
So i was thinking 19" or 18" would be enough.
Also i want the pc for gaming as well as 3D modelling.
And Photoshop and some other more CPU based programmes.
Of course i will be buying Crysis but i would mostly play RTS and some shooters.
EDIT: I found a really cheap GFX card deal:
06-22-2009 #5
I like the second build better. Looks great to me, except the memory. Replace the Corsair kit in the AMD build with the Kingston kit you have in the first build.
Replace the PSU with this one as well.
This will add a few to it, but you'll end up with a quicker and more reliable system. I personally have had 2 OCZ PSUs fail (computers I built for friends) and I won't go back to them.I once ate a dirty sock...don't tell anyone.

Based on the other thread, I don't recommend overclocking.
Run everything on stock levels, unless you really need the extra performance gains.
06-22-2009 #8
The motherboard is great. My brother had (I say had because he bircked it flashing it, no mechanical problems) it and loved it.
And the stock cooler will be fine for now. You shouldnt have a real need to overclock, unless your trying to squeeze every bit of performance out of it. It should be fast enough to last you a while.
Overclocking shouldnt be necessary. Don't see why you would, it should be fast enough as it is.
@Snake: You hit the nail on the head . Don't need frustrations when they arent necessary.I once ate a dirty sock...don't tell anyone.

If you go for the AMD setup at £550 you have a spare 50 for a better monitor it is worth the extra monety getting a quality monitor.
Carp I was lookign at the price excluding VAT LOL it will put you even more over budget.Baby's head is dangling out; its just sat there like it's got some weird polo neck onKarl Pilkington on child birth
06-22-2009 #10
I would go with the the AMD build. I have that processor and will say it is awesome. Very fast and does everything no problem. I only had a few problems but i got the help I needed.
Overclocking isn't necessary but it is like crack, you just want to keep going back and trying to make it better. I didn't think I would, and have already increased it a little.
06-23-2009 #11
Thanks guys!
I will definitely be getting parts in summer school holidays.
I will post build pics and logs if possible.
06-23-2009 #12
What OS are you planning on buying for it? I imagine some kind of Windows if it's to be a gaming rig.

Its easy to get a new code they give them away to anyone.
Go here and select 32 or 64 bit then sign in with your msn/live account.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win.../download.aspxBaby's head is dangling out; its just sat there like it's got some weird polo neck onKarl Pilkington on child birth
06-23-2009 #15
Ohhhh, wait there....
I downloaded 32 bit and burned it so i might need 64 bit as i am getting 4gb of RAM.
Does that mean i have to download 64 bit version?
06-23-2009 #16
You should be getting it. 32bit will give you 3.5GB of available RAM. That is, 3.5GB minus the GPU's memory. So if your card has 512MB, then you only got 3GB of avilable memory for your system to use. You pretty much lose a gig.
I once ate a dirty sock...don't tell anyone.
World domination has taken a momentary setback...talk amongst yourselves in the meantime.UK>America. its just true
06-23-2009 #17
Yeah. You might as well download the Win 7 RC 64bit. It's free and should last you until April 2010.
06-23-2009 #18
Download 64 bit W7 RC at 37%. (500kb/sec)
I got the key also.
06-23-2009 #19
The funny thing about the keys is that there's about 8 keys total for the beta
06-23-2009 #20
06-23-2009 #21
I'm pretty sure the beta keys carry over into the RC.
06-23-2009 #22
So i surfed around the net and picked the best deals for the parts.
I came up with this:
Exactly the same as the same as the actual list
except it is 27p cheaper!
So everything is alright, compatible?
They MIGHT be cheaper in about a month but who knows?
Also about £40 more than the Intel Setup but the AMD chip got better performance on benchmarks and such + the stock speed is 3ghz. D
06-23-2009 #23
06-23-2009 #24
That is
$1,073.32. (it says so on the currency converter)
Yeah, looking around, 940 is probably top of the range up with i7s.
Also i am looking into this case:
Is it good enough?
I know it is more expensive but its got better cable management.
I can get a smaller monitor and get that case.
06-23-2009 #25
Build looks great. The CM case looks nice as well, but it comes down to your preference of looks. They're both great cases.

80% of IT budgets are spent just to keep the data center running, and the volume of global data is expected to grow nine fold in the next 5 years.
Many organizations are consolidating virtual servers to deal with this deluge of data. But by taking it one step further and combining server virtualization with storage consolidation, enterprises can more fully realize the advantages of a modern, efficient data center.
Check out this short white paper to explore how you can easily and affordably transform a rigid storage platform into a modern, flexible and scalable system with invaluable benefits such as:

Williams sidesteps the issue of $5.4 billion in education cuts
AUSTIN -- Texas Education Commissioner Michael Williams sidestepped the debate over $5.4 billion slashed from public schools two years ago during his first appearance Wednesday before state budget-writers.The cuts led to lawsuits pitting hundreds of districts against the state.Williams, who was appointed by Gov. Rick Perry in October, said after testifying to the Senate Finance Committee that it is premature to discuss school funding until the court cases are settled."It's more prudent now to wait until we hear what the court tells us," Williams said. "I think it is more prudent for the Legislature not to put loaded sums of money in one area and have the court make a determination that we got to reverse and go back in another direction."A resurgent Texas economy and a booming oil and gas industry have made state coffers flush with dollars again. Both the House and Senate introduced budget drafts for 2014-15 last week, but neither restored the public education cuts that the Republican-controlled Legislature made in 2011 while faced with a $27 billion shortfall.-- The Associated PressRetired dentist, 76, convicted ofmurder in his wife's deathTYLER -- A 76-year-old retired dentist was convicted of murder Wednesday for killing his wife at their home last summer.Earlier, Bobby Ray Nichols testified that he was "in a stupor" and did not intend to fatally shoot his wife, only to scare her with his 9 mm handgun.The penalty phase of the trial is scheduled to begin this morning. The maximum sentence is life in prison.In closing arguments, prosecutor Jason Parrish told jurors that Rosalind Nichols bled to death slowly from her abdominal wound.Earlier in the day, experts for both sides testified about Nichols' bouts of depression, dependence on alcohol and the mental impairment associated with alcohol abuse or his Parkinson's disease. -- The Associated PressHave more to add?

Tablesaw User Sues (and wins big) for Lack of Flesh-Detection Technology
A Massachusetts man has finally received a judgement against toolmaker Ryobi after a devastating accident involving one of the company's table saws.
Richard Sullivan, a Boston lawyer hired by insurance companies to handle workers' compensation cases, was the first to take on the manufacturers. He watched a CNN video of SawStop's demonstration, and in 2006 filed a complaint on behalf of Carlos Osorio, who mutilated his hand on a Ryobi saw while laying hardwood floors, requiring five surgeries and $384,000 in medical bills.
Last week, Osorio's legal team, which includes national firm Boies, Schiller and Flexner, pointed to SawStop's sales as evidence that the technology is not only mechanically feasible but financially viable. They asked for $250,000 in damages, but the jury awarded Osorio, now 30, $1.5 million.
The case revolves around the apparent negligence demonstrated by toolmakers choosing not to adopt the SawStop flesh-detection technology.
Carpinello likens flesh-detection technology to airbags, which fueled a similar slew of litigation when they were first installed in cars. Automakers without airbags got sued for not adopting the better safety design. Now, all cars have airbags.
The real winner in this case appears, however, to be SawStop. SawStop approached all of the major tablesaw manufacturers with their technology asking for a licensing fee... a fairly typical practice. When met with no-doubt surprising animosity toward the technology by manufacturers, SawStop opted to build their own saws.
I submit to you, though, that if you want a safe car you should buy one with airbags and take defensive driving lessons. I can't fault the car-maker unless some defect in their design or manufacturing was to blame for an accident. Likewise, if you want to make sure your fingers are safe, buy a SawStop.
I struggle to see how toolmakers who have essentially used an unmodified design of tablesaw for decades can be blamed for this.

Experience a brilliantly designed physics-based puzzle/platform game where you must guide a puddle of fluid to its target destination, not by moving the fluid, but by tilting the game world. The player must work with friction, momentum, and the unique properties of each type of fluid and environment to send as much of each puddle past fires, rifts, potential spills and more. But watch out: the fluid motion is realistic! Tilt too quickly and some droplets are left behind; tilt too slowly you may not be able to make certain jumps� or may simply evaporate away.

So didn't I? What I wrote isn't quite the same as what you propose (in your #4).
I tried to run some tests in a controlled environment. But I would need to sit for something like 40 hours taking notes before I would be confident of my observations. But right now, however insufficient data I have, it seems that it's most likely the size, and not the strength. But then again, my sample is so small that I might be wrong after all.
Cross shots - I just don't know. I saw it too often to just call them a bug But I wouldn't put the probability of it happening higher than 2-3%, and most likely it's smaller than 1%. Maybe it gets higher under some special circumstances I haven't tested. Personally, I very much doubt it.
That's an interesting hypothesis I must say. Not that it's easy to check. You can never be quite sure that the merge bug did not happen in a given game.I would even go so far as to propose cross shots will only happen in games that have witnessed the merge bug or whatever the merge bug has morphed into now that the same person can be king of multiple civs at the same time. You will know if all manner of strange occurrances are happening in the game already.
