There is nothing better than a meal that hits the spot. It's like a hug from that friend who gives the best hugs -- it makes you stop in your tracks and demands you enjoy the moment because nothing else is better. Soy sauce chicken is comfort food at its best. In fact, it belongs right alongside pancakes-for-dinner, and hot-chocolate-in-PJs, and mac-n-cheese-by-Mom. It just makes sense. Add in Brussels sprouts in a fish sauce (trust us) vinaigrette, and then you have something competing with those hugs. Plus, after tonight, you'll have a new weeknight staple, and a not sad desk lunch the next day -- one that your nosy coworker wont be able to stop eyeballing.

Store your knives properly . Shoving your knives into a drawer could damage them or, worse yet, cause you to get cut when you're trying to retrieve them. "Instead, you want to store them in a good knife block, under the countertop, or on one of those magnetic wall strips because then you have really easy access to your knife," advises Mollenkamp.

Wash and dry your knives by hand. Never put your knives in the dishwasher. Mollenkamp recommends washing knives in hot soapy water and then drying them thoroughly by hand to help avoid any rust or any spread of germs."

Hi I'm Bill O'Reilly thanks for watching us tonight more unbelievable propaganda from the federal government paid for by you and -- me.
And is the subject of this evening's talking points memo.
As we reported last Thursday the US Department of Agriculture is hired a man named Samuel B concepts.
To conduct quote.
Cultural sensitivity.
Four US TA employees.
-- Todd says has used his paid position to demean the United States and to indoctrinate his captive audience.
I wanted to say sick if we work for federal agencies say that -- you're.
We have discriminated in the past.
Mexicans came to this country last night -- -- legal.
Never mind that the United States expanded and total global what used to be Mexico.
If the truth be known in a lot of these circumstances if you do some of these Mexicans go back where you came from the go to Texas California Arizona.
Another watchdog group judicial watch obtained that video and many others showing similar -- -- -- -- through the stream of information act.
In 2012 documents show that sensitivity seminars where held at least sixteen tops -- -- taxpayer hundreds of thousands of dollars.
So my question is.
Why is this happening to total waste of taxpayer money and insulting to the country.
Talking points believes the reason stuff like this goes on as a culture of liberalism is now gripped Washington.
Would a liberal president and -- the messages gone out progressive fluid as it.
And you know -- That's fine.
If it simply expression.
Once the taxpayer gets charged for the propaganda.
That's malfeasance that's -- misappropriation.
Of taxpayer dollars.
The direct villain here is USDA secretary Tom Vilsack former governor -- Very liberal guy -- second apparently committed to imposing.
Liberal thought on the people who work for him.
Note the word imposing.
Nonsense put out there -- B Tom says isn't challenged.
The big picture here is that the Obama administration is not only espousing liberal policy.
It is now demanding that federal employees told the -- Again that's not what the federal government's business to do it supposed to represent all the people not just -- -- I mean this guy the town says is off the shock.
Mexicans have a right to violate immigration law because of the Mexican American war in the mid nineteenth century.
Is that what the guys saying yeah that's what he's saying.
And we're paying for.
Just another add on to the seventeen.
Trillion dollar national debt.
I now pronounce -- federal government officially.
Out of control.
-- the top story tonight reaction.
To -- -- Washington Tom -- president of the F imaging group judicial watch here in New York City.
Alexis -- Johnson the executive director of the American -- institute.
So why should my tax money be go into this guy to say those things.
While exiting his very forward looking for the US government to be doing -- and I think -- quite behind where corporations have been doing for many years in terms of promoting cultural awareness and diversity training in the name of changing Democrats -- this country.
So that you think it's a good thing give me -- one concrete reason why.
Telling a -- to repeat after me the federal government the federal agencies have discriminated.
And Mexicans have a right to sneak in the country because we took it over in and Mexican American war and the pilgrims were illegal aliens and on and on and on.
Why is that.
The guys a little hokey in this training American allies -- -- -- he's a little -- he's a little OK hold on a not so little -- given me that are right.
He has an agenda would you say what I would -- -- does he have an agent.
-- what he has is is a agenda he that he has is a mandate to help employees and a other federal -- doesn't matter floating around.
He he may have a mandate but what he's doing what you're seeing with your own eyes Alexis.
Is a mandate a political point of view.
Or am I wrong it's not a political point it's not have a political authority when it what it is is.
And understanding that that most Americans are truly egalitarian beings.
But we all hold diocese.
And acknowledging the fact that the federal government has played a role in some of these -- -- things like restrictive covenants and and and but that's not what he's doing yes he's putting enough -- he's.
Out he's basically saying I said this and in his first tape is Tom -- point nine and a moment.
He said basically.
That the United States is not -- worthy nation all right it's not.
And that we in the Department of Agriculture have to somehow overcome that that's a political point of -- you may believe that.
I don't want it may not a political point if you -- it usually is the fact that that it the United States first of all these these workshops were optional okay -- was mandated to go to them.
The second thing is that these workshops were really about trying to you encouraged.
-- federal employees to do -- -- understand that that our nation's demographics are changing pretend that the US well I think you can read the -- talking about -- aren't talking about where.
Where Tennessee home where.
It's not Tom is seen -- all the tapes -- They're not.
-- problem beyond his may be.
A little clown fish in his presentation but this -- is it anything to get worried about how do you respond to that.
Well I.
I think this is abuse of the government employees he's forcing in the say these controversial things I would never -- -- day as a -- and -- an optional.
Is that it not wasn't there was an optional.
It was documents show that some of the folks there had to be there.
One guy was thrown out for reading a book according -- we have.
And he said I want to read a book he read a book during its mandatory training so the idea that it's optional is not accurate.
And he's being paid so much money to do this and you say he's kinda hokey.
Well you know taxpayers are in debt as a result of hokey programs like this 200000 -- the Department of Agriculture.
If you go on the USA spending dot gov website he's made over two point eight million from the defense department for programs like this news.
-- the -- presentation was that it Defense Department as with the USDA same kind of propaganda it's it's this diversity type of presentations -- -- we don't.
Don't know if it's the same kind of stuff not exactly they've got plenty of tapes at the Agriculture Department they haven't given us yet but they're sitting on.
Well we yeah but I mean it would be surprising to me if the Defense Department would allow that kind of stuff to happen Vilsack is.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- That's true -- guys since this video first aired last week we are getting emails from all over the government.
About programs like this and other agencies.
This is par for the course and we have we have uncovered.
Quite the scandal here these programs are not only system wide within the Agriculture Department.
But in these other agencies and don't think the military doesn't force its employees ago this through this type betrayed have you have a file employees have.
Immigration act on -- other tapes and auditor.
Agencies have you filed.
That's right the state to -- he says in this tape the State Department -- sent him down to Venezuela.
To tell them about what it's like to be an American you know so -- attitude -- state track contract.
Do you understand Alexis my point here that I don't want to pay for this.
All right because I don't believe this is a fair presentation.
I don't believe it's constructive it doesn't do anything for the federal government.
Do you understand you may disagree and that's fine I respect -- disagreement but I don't want to pay for that all right yeah.
Understand that.
What I don't wanna pay for the federal bailouts but I ended up paying for those I think there -- a lot of lots of things that we -- American but this isn't an option what the Dallas -- any doubt that that we don't wanna support but it that we do we have to respect the leadership -- it -- him to -- that deleted -- -- -- -- get a guy like this and then going into it like I said we are far behind the corporations have been doing for numbers -- years because you do you think corporations.
Private enterprises -- do it why the military -- my my very dead birds that one of them the most diverse institutions that we should be proud.
It's about a series of bottom line -- like for you and for top.
I want this guy to -- times says to come in here -- that -- -- -- I will sure rated him verbally shred him.
On all the history that he's putting forth shred him I'll destroy him and what I do I want Vilsack to pay me what is it's not two point eight million.
I -- -- -- million total I'll try to -- all in fact I'll do it for two million and they can -- yeah.
And about about it right after that when I shred this guy here.
-- the nation's really going to be concerts and you'll never come in here because he knows he can't stand up to the facts are -- him and it Tom Vilsack and hire me and I'll do the numbers is that -- That's -- probably the diversity is on the diversity kind of guy yeah I think yeah service is it good thank you.

NEW YORK - Elton John and Mumford & Sons will hit the Grammys stage to pay tribute to Levon Helm.
The Recording Academy announced Thursday that T Bone Burnett, Mavis Staples, Zac Brown and Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes will also perform "The Weight" at Sunday's awards ceremony in Los Angeles.
Helm was the drummer and singer for The Band. He died of complications from cancer last year at age 71.
The performers will sing the song during the show's in memoriam tribute, which honors musicians who died last year. Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich said the lineup of performers is a representation of Helm's diverse sound.

This is the first of two routes to the right and around the corner from Insane Pilot (5.7. It starts out on a slab and slowly transfers to vertical climbing through hard to spot holds. There are several fun moves off of underclings. The route is well bolted and worth climbing.
7 bolts to chain anchors
There is a large block/flake, about body length and level, that is just around the corner when approaching this climb. I haven't climbed this route yet, so am not sure whether it is on route or not, but with a hard pull it will probably come off. Maybe of no danger except if someone happens to be way down below the climbing area. I didn't know If it should be pulled off or left. So I left it alone.
If the block is on a route and can be safely cleaned then clean it. If it is not on a route then leave it alone. Birds, bats and other critters might be using them.
I have been unable to locate this "elusive rock". Climbing Partner's and I haven't found anything that resembles what "Joseph was talking about".I did have a big block near the bottom of this climb that was half buried in an area to help reduce erosion,but someone obviously pulled it and rolled it down the hillside as it was too big to pick up and throw! PS. Just wanted to say if anyone notice's anything they believe too be hazardous,please post it to this invaluable site so I can check on it.This also include's stolen or removed..... hardware! Thanks, Andy
The rock I was refering too, I discovered this weekend, is not on route. And it would take a really hard pull to take it off. Thanks for looking though. I don't think it should be a problem.
Thought this route was a bit harder but less sustained than the route to the right.

The Federal Trade Commission today announced the following actions.
Consent agreements given final approval: Following a public comment period, the Commission has made final consent agreements with the following entities. The Commission action makes the consent orders binding on the respondents.
Preliminary Injunction Update: A U.S. District Court judge in Hammond, Indiana, has issued preliminary injunctions against six defendants named in a Federal Trade Commission complaint involving a telemarketing enterprise based in Merrillville and Crown Point, Indiana. The FTC charged that the enterprise deceptively offered employment with the U.S. Postal Service to hundreds of thousands of consumers residing across the country. The case is part of a January 1998 joint FTC and Postal Service law enforcement sweep against such firms. Judge James T. Moody, of the Northern District of Indiana, on March 31, issued the injunctions against: The Answering Service, Inc.; The Rosewood Group; Career Advancement Corp.; Information Delivery Systems, Inc.; William H. Tankersley, principal officer of Career Advancement; and David L. Barnack, who does business as and is president of Information Delivery. The preliminary injunctions -- which continue previously ordered asset freezes on the corporate and individual defendants -- will remain in effect pending the outcome of a trial on the FTC's allegations.

Pininfarina Sergio concept roadster
The Pininfarina Sergio, which debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, marks another odd name with an association to Ferrari. Unlike the LaFerrari hypercar, however, the Sergio is far more meaningful. It is named after the man Sergio Pininfarina, who guided the legendary Italian design firm for 40 years. The concept car revealed today is a tribute to the man himself, and a celebration of his vast contributions to the Prancing Horse.

Community members still shell-shocked by SandyJanuary 25, 2013Like many local residents, we keep an eagle eye on the weather forecast during the winter months, so it came as a bit of a shock to us — and probably to some of you — when the forecast suddenly...... PuremagixI am 60 years old and this snow storm was nothing new. I remember a lot of days when I waded snow to my waste and temperatures well below zero. Once, when I was a kid, the city of Buckhannon piled snow in the middle of Main Street that was so high, you couldn't see the trucks on either side of the street. One other time, southern Upshur County was hit with a snow so deep, there were stranded cars on Rt. 20 that they didn't know were there until the snow melted. The only thing different about this one was the fact that the power company has let the power grid fall into such a state of disrepair, it knocked out power that wouldn't have been affected had they kept up their rights of way. It's only going to get worse as the CEO's of these companies steal them blind and then go to find another victim of their greed. 0 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Showing 1 of 1 comments

US approves new targeted breast cancer drug
Posted at: 02/22/2013 11:04 AM
By: Associated Press | WHEC.com
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a first-of-a-kind breast cancer medication that targets tumor cells while sparing healthy ones.
The drug Kadcyla from Roche combines the established drug Herceptin with a powerful chemotherapy drug and a third chemical linking the medicines together. The chemical keeps the cocktail intact until it binds to a cancer cell, delivering a double-shot of anti-tumor poison.
Cancer researchers say the drug may offer a clear advantage over older drugs because it delivers more medication with fewer side effects.
The FDA approved the new treatment for about 20 percent of breast cancer patients with a form of the disease that is typically more aggressive and less responsive to hormone therapy. These patients have tumors that overproduce a protein known as HER-2.
The approval will help Roche's Genentech unit build on the blockbuster success of Herceptin, which has long dominated the breast cancer marketplace. The drug had sales of roughly $6 billion last year.
Genentech said Friday that Kadcyla will cost $9,800 per month, compared to $4,500 per month for regular Herceptin. The company estimates a full course of Kadcyla, about nine months of medicine, will cost $94,000.
FDA scientists said they approved the drug based on company studies showing Kadcyla delayed the progression of breast cancer by several months. Researchers reported last year that patients treated with the drug lived 9.6 months before death or the spread of their disease, compared with a little more than six months for patients treated with two other standard drugs, Tykerb and Xeloda.
Overall, patients taking Kadcyla lived about 2.6 years, compared with 2 years for patients taking the other drugs.

Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling Iron
Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronCandyQueens, NYHairDark BrownNormal HairDry HairColor Treated HairChemically Treated HairBest Curling Iron Ever!!!This iron is AMAZING. I purchased the 19mm (3/4 inch) one and I LOVE how this iron curls! In my opinion, I think that the 19mm clipless iron is more versatile than the 25mm (1Inch) because you can take a thicker section of hair, wrap it around the 19mm iron, and still achieve the same results as the 25mm one. You can also create much tighter curls by gathering a smaller section of hair. This iron takes some time getting used to, because I burned myself a few times, but the results are definitely worth it!! This is definitely worth investing in!!!posted Sep 7, 2011Link to this post
Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronRebekahFlHairLight BrownNormal HairAmazing!!I have long hair and never could get any product or tool to make my hair curl right, this does it first try and there are so many different style of curls and looks you can get from this thing! its super amazing and I LOVE it! I always read reviews before I buy, so if your like me, do it! It may be pricey, but is SOO worth it!posted Sep 5, 2011Link to this post
Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronAliaILHairDark BrownThick or Coarse HairBest Curling Iron Ever!!!I have purchased quite a few curling irons in the past and none of them seemed to work on my thick wavy hair. I would spend two hours on my hair only for all the curls to blow out as soon as i stepped outside. After reading many of the other reviews, I decided to take a leap of faith and splurge...happy to say i was not disappointed! It took me about an hour to curl every inch of my hair (which is expected for me) and when I was done it looked FABULOUS! The finished product was smooth shiny wavy-curls (not banana curls and not too spiral-y) which lasted the whole entire day. The next day I finger-combed the curls out and it still looked fabulous, just more of a messy look, and once again by the end of the day the curls were still intact. VERY happy with this purchase, I finally got what I paid for!posted Sep 4, 2011Link to this post
Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronTiffanyHairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairI Love This Curling Iron!My hair always had a hard time holding a curl, but with the Sedu clipless curling iron it always stays!

I feel like you can't ever go wrong with a Sedu product!posted Sep 2, 2011Link to this post
Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronJackieAtlanta, GAHairBlondeDry HairColor Treated HairBest Curling Iron Ever!Let me begin by saying I have hair that will not hold a curl. I used to curl with a regular clip curling iron and by the end of the day my hair would barely be wavy and that is after using a ton of hairspray. Since buying this curling iron I have been able to make it 3 days with curls and I haven't used a spritz of hairspray. Day 1 is curly, Day 2 culrlyish, Day 3 gorgeous waves.
It does take some getting used to, but once I figured it out I was able to curl my whole head of long hair in about 10-15 minutes. I did burn my neck in the process of learning how to use it, but now, I just wrap a small towel around my neck and secure it with a clip. No neck burns and gorgeous hair.
I just love love love this curling iron!!!posted Sep 2, 2011Link to this post -

Best hair investment ever!
Even with thick, mid-back length & color-treated hair, the Sedu clipless curling iron creates gorgeous curls with staying power! I can sleep after curling my hair, wake up in the morning, just run my fingers through the curls & I'm ready to go!
Pros: Easy to use, beautiful results, long lasting, no tip creases, heats up fast.
Cons: Nope, none I've run into.posted Aug 30, 2011Link to this post -
Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronSheilahElgin, ILHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairPractice Makes Perfect!The smooth barrel does double-duty by smoothing your hair and then turning your (now) shiny strands into gorgeous curls. It takes a few trial & error sessions to master a new technique, but after that you can do your whole head in minutes. More versatile than normal curling irons, the 3/4" size is just right.posted Aug 29, 2011Link to this post
Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronL L.SacramentoHairDark BrownNormal HairDry HairThe Burns Pay Off!I'm not going to lie, but I do burn myself with this iron. Even with the gloves, I still manage to burn my wrist. BUT! after using it a few more times and a few more burns, I've gotten used to the iron enough to not burn myself even without the glove!
Now for the product! I got both the 1 inch and the 3/4 inch. I love them both so much! First the 1inch. The curls that come out look amazing! My hair is more wavy on top with spiral curls on the bottom. It looks great! The heat is very hot even at low heat. My waves and curls stay all night. I personally think the curls and wave look even better after you sleep in your curls.
For the 3/4 inch barrel, personally I don't use this one as often because the curls are a lot tighter and they look more like spiral curls from top to bottom rather than waves like the 1inch. But my little sister loves it and wants to look like Taylor Swift.
I still keep my clip curling iron because it does give me a type of curl that is harder for me to achieve with this curling iron. Overall I do love these curling iron and Sedu has not disappointed me in this item at all. I would get these on sale though. I don't think the retail price is affordable at all.posted Aug 25, 2011Link to this post -
Sedu Revolution Clipless Curling IronJoannaAustin,TXHairDark BrownDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairLove, Love, Love SeduI've been wanting a clipless curling iron of this type for quite some time now and I must say, it definitely stands up to all the hype! I was debating between the Enzo Milano clipless curling iron and this Sedu curling iron ... after much consideration and lots of reviews, I decided on the Sedu and I am in LOVE! I have a FULL head of hair and normally takes me 45minutes to curl my hair (not so much fun) I curled my entire hair in just 20 minutes! It is so fast and efficient, it seems like it heats up within the second so you don't have to wait to get started. Very pleased with the product and glad I made the purchase!

Twenty-five graduates will celebrate milestones achieved at Lesley University
Friday, April 19, 2013
As the 25 graduates reflect upon their experiences in the Threshold Program, they say they've learned to live independently, developed rich social lives, and prepared themselves to succeed in meaningful, fulfilling jobs.
"I learned how to live with other people, stay in a budget, and make a list before you go to the grocery store," reflected Jennie Giblin, who is from Westborough, Mass., and is majoring in early childhood. "My plan is to get a job at a preschool and I'm trying to get an apartment here. I like to work with children."
Threshold serves young adults with learning disabilities and other special needs in an on-campus residential environment. This year's graduating class will be addressed by graduation speaker Mike Kersjes, an innovative special education teacher and mentor, who will share his experience establishing a space camp program in conjunction with NASA through which high school students compete in a variety of activities similar to those experienced by astronauts in training for space shuttle missions.
"I plan to speak to the students about the power of the human spirit within them and what they can do," said Kersjes, founder of the Space is Special organization and author of "A Smile as Big as the Moon: A Special Education Teacher, His Class, and Their Inspiring Journey Through U.S. Space Camp."
"I see the benefit of making kids understand that they've got to step outside their box and be risk takers, but they've also got to understand that while risk taking and facing challenges, people like myself are there to help them go beyond their comfort zone and be something more than they're told they can be," Kersjes said.
"Former Lesley Trustee Chair, Don Perrin, told me about the book, 'A Smile as Big as the Moon,' and I read Mike's book and immediately called him," recalled Threshold Director Jim Wilbur. "His message of total optimism resonated with me."
Founded in 1982, Threshold now boasts over 600 alumni, who spent two or three years on Lesley's campus."It's an awesome school. I learned a lot about being independent," said Mike Nguyen, a business major from Braintree, Mass., who also graduates in May.
Graduate Jay Kim, from Acton, Mass., notes the benefits of living on the Lesley University campus and interacting with students, faculty and staff.
"As you get along with your education during your two years, you start making friends," said Kim, who is interning at a television studio and plans for a career in TV production and editing.
"I do office work now in Malden with an internship through Threshold," added graduate Sandhya KC, a business major from Bedford, Mass.
Upon completion of the Threshold Program, students receive certificates of completion and six college credits at a formal graduation ceremony, held each year in May.
Mike Kersjes lives in Huntsville, Alabama, and speaks widely to professional education groups about his work through Space is Special. During the last 10 years, he has raised over $3 million to bring over 3,000 special needs students to space camp.
"I'm reaching out and helping special education teachers and students in any way I can," said Kersjes.Kersjes is a Vietnam Veteran who holds at bachelor's degree in special education and psychology, and a master's degree in educational administration. His book is currently used in the curriculum at 13 universities in the United States, and it has been published in Japan, Australia, Korea and Taiwan.
Kersjes's book was also adapted into a television movie, "A Smile as Big as the Moon," starring John Corbett, which tells Kersjes's inspiring story of taking his class of special education students to NASA's Space Camp.

Jay-Z - Vol.2: Hard Knock Life

Album Review
Release date: 29 September 1998
Volume 2... Hard Knock Life
...on the bright side, at no point does he feel an unusual bond with [I]Starlight Express[/I], or the need to share it with us....
An example of Jay-Z 's current self-belief came when he was accused of only having dollars in mind when sampling the squawking brats from Annie for his 'Hard Knock Life' single. Mr Z countered that it had more to do with him and those fictional orphans being united in battle against the establishment. Which can't be an easy line to deliver without blushing....

Can I take an IRA Deduction for the amount I contributed to a 401(k) plan last year?
No. A 401(k) plan is not an IRA. However, the amount you contributed is not included as income in box 1 of your W-2 form so you don't pay tax on it in the year you make the contribution.
In addition, you cannot take an IRA Deduction for contributions to any of the following plans:
- Roth IRA
- Section 457 plan
- SIMPLE plan
- Federal Thrift Savings Plan.

All the beautiful people came out to attend the New York screening of NINE co-hosted by Martini at Ziegfeld Theatre on December 15, 2009. Most notably were these stylish family combos that really caught my eye on the red carpet. They include Dame Judi Dench and her daughter Finty Williams, Kate Hudson and her mom Goldie Hawn, Sarah Ferguson a.k.a. Fergie and her mom Terri Jackson, Madonna and her daughter Lourdes Leon, and twin sister Mary Kate and Ashley Olson.
I'd love to know the beauty secrets of Madonna and Fergie because I've never seen either one look more sublime! And even though I'm going to date myself by saying this, I still remember when Madge was pregnant with little Lourdes!! Look how grown up and fashionable she has become!
How sweet is Fergie's husband Josh Duhamel? The picture of him giving her a peck on the forehead makes me so jealous!
Nine opens in theaters on December 25th.

Home > Where We Work > Middle East and North Africa > Middle East > Syrian Arab Republic
2013 UNHCR country operations profile - Syrian Arab Republic
Working environment
The context
A year and a half of unrest in the Syrian Arab Republic (Syria) has displaced thousands of people and had a dramatic effect on one of the largest urban-refugee populations in the world. At the time of writing, the violence had reached Damascus and its suburbs, home to the vast majority of refugees from Iraq and other countries. Faced with growing risks to their lives, many refugees and asylum-seekers have opted to return to unstable countries of origin.
As of September 2012, estimates of the number of Syrians who had fled their homes for safer areas of the country ranged from 1.5 to 2.5 million. UNHCR has developed a multi-sector emergency programme, within the framework of the UN Syria Humanitarian Response Plan and in collaboration with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC).
Security constraints have forced UNHCR to adjust and curtail some activities. For instance, it has closed its facilities in Douma, north of Damascus. UNHCR has also reduced the number of its international staff in the country. Regular reviews of operating procedures aim to reduce the risks to staff and beneficiaries.
Despite the challenging situation, the Syrian authorities have continued to host and accommodate refugees. For its part, UNHCR, in partnership with the SARC, has maintained essential services and protection to persons of concern.
The needs
The protection and assistance needs of refugees have increased as the situation in the country has deteriorated. The incidence and severity of security and protection incidents affecting refugees rose perceptibly in mid-2012, with reported killings, kidnappings, domestic violence, threats and harassment.
Surveys of refugees reveal that they are beset by rising prices, a scarcity of livelihood opportunities and ballooning rents in the safer areas. Most refugees are entirely dependent on material assistance provided by UNHCR and other organizations. Rising levels of fear and isolation among refugees require UNHCR to reinforce its psychosocial and community services support. As a result of the drastic reduction in processing and departures in 2012, third-country resettlement remains a critical need.
Achieving its protection and assistance objectives requires that UNHCR continues its engagement and joint activities with national counterparts and other partners in the refugee programme. In 2013, UNHCR will need an adequate number of staff, sufficient access to refugees and affected Syrians, and the necessary funding to respond to shifting circumstances and humanitarian priorities.

Main objectives and targets for 2013
Favourable protection environment
A national legal framework on asylum is developed.
Advocacy and capacity-building help to build a national legal framework on asylum.
Security from violence and exploitation
The risk of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is reduced and the quality of the response to it is improved.
Some 700 individuals benefit from counselling services.
At least 300 SGBV survivors receive legal assistance.
The protection of children is strengthened.
Implementing partners are assisted to enhance their capacity to prevent and respond to SGBV affecting children, as well as to provide direct assistance and multi-sectoral responses in complex cases.
Fair protection processes and documentation
The quality of registration and profiling is improved or maintained.
Registration and renewal activities are undertaken in compliance with guidelines.
Basic needs and essential services
Services for groups with specific needs are strengthened.
Some 11,000 refugee and asylum-seeker families receive cash assistance on a monthly basis.
Some 20,000 Syrian affected families are assisted with one-time cash grants.
The population of concern has adequate quantities of basic and domestic items.
Approximately 50,000 affected Syrian families receive basic non-food items (NFIs). Food security is improved.
Some 71,500 refugees are provided with cash as food assistance.
The health of the population improves or remains stable.
Some 100,000 refugees benefit from primary health care.
The population has optimal access to education.
Remedial classes benefit 3,000 refugee and Syrian children who dropped out of school, while special classes target up to 1,000 refugee children with learning and psychosocial difficulties.
Community empowerment and self-reliance
Community mobilization is strengthened and expanded.
Services are decentralized to promote local responses tailored to community needs through networks bringing together refugee outreach volunteers and local partners.
Self-reliance and livelihoods opportunities are improved.
Various types of vocational training and the fostering of partnerships with development agencies and new national institutions increase opportunities for self-reliance among people of concern.
Durable solutions
The potential for resettlement is realized.
Some 5,100 individuals are submitted for resettlement and the departure of 3,500 individuals is facilitated.
The potential for voluntary return is realized.
Some 3,000 Iraqi and non-Iraqi refugees are assisted to return in safety and dignity.
Strategy and activities in 2013
UNHCR's strategy is to maintain contact with the various refugee groups through multiple outreach channels, adapting activities to meet evolving needs while minimizing risk to beneficiaries and staff. It also aims to develop partnerships that enhance national capacity.
Key activities include timely protection work, such as counselling and detention interventions, preventing and responding to SGBV and providing legal services, food, shelter, health care and education. The refugee outreach system will be maintained, and services will be delivered as close as possible to refugee-hosting areas.
While responding to the urgent emergency-response needs thrown up in Syria, UNHCR will continue to implement durable solutions, notably resettlement, as well as help to draft refugee legislation in order to pursue long-term solutions to refugee problems.
The strategy to respond to the needs of Syrians affected by the crisis will be implemented within the context of the UN humanitarian plan. It will aim to build on the relationship with the SARC and adapt structures and staffing to deliver material aid and protection most effectively.
Activities have centred on the identification of affected areas, registration of displaced families and delivery of relief items, including blankets, mattresses and hygiene kits.
UNHCR has supported individual and communal shelter projects through cash assistance and rehabilitation work, respectively. It provides health care to Syrians through SARC clinics and has established community services projects among affected groups. Coordination through inter-agency sector groups helps ensure coherence and avoid duplication of effort.
Providing documentation and protection to asylum-seekers, along with emergency assistance to the most vulnerable cases, underpins UNHCR's strategy for this group. UNHCR will continue to support the authorities' efforts to prevent and reduce statelessness.
The main challenge for UNHCR in Syria is to assist people of concern in very insecure conditions. Since mid-2012, UNHCR has been working with the UN Country Team and the authorities to resolve practical and administrative obstacles in order to expand its operational space. International sanctions, combined with the impact of the conflict on industrial output, have led to shortages of medicines and domestic items.
The supply disruptions have obliged UNHCR to resort increasingly to international procurement.
Organization and implementation
UNHCR counts on its constructive relationships with the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates and the SARC to facilitate policy and operational coordination. Other important counterparts are the Ministries of Labour, Education, Higher Education, Health, Local Administration, and Social Affairs, as well as international NGOs and local associations. UNHCR's devolution of responsibilities to national partners engaged with refugees has been affected by the unrest, as many national partners now place less emphasis on longer-term goals.
Similarly, most of the embassies and donor representatives who had been working closely with UNHCR, including on resettlement, have suspended activities in Syria.
The UN response to the unrest within the country is set out in the Syria Humanitarian Response Plan. The plan established a series of inter-agency sectoral working groups, with UNHCR leading the community-services and NFIs/shelter groups.
The signing of the negotiated 2012-2016 UN Development Assistance Framework for the Syrian Arab Republic has been put on hold, extending the duration of the current UNDAF.
Finally, UNHCR Syria continues to mobilize humanitarian stakeholders in the region and to liaise with offices in neighbouring countries on solutions for all groups of concern.
Financial information
Although the overall number of refugees is declining, their needs have increased due to new and exacerbated vulnerabilities. Syrian families affected by the crisis represent a new group of concern to UNHCR, resulting in the 2013 budget being 30 per cent higher than that for 2012.
The 2013 budget for the Syrian Arab Republic will be further revised in order to cover additional needs related to the Syria crisis which could not be assessed at the time this budget was approved.

Here are just a few of the things readers have had to say about Every Day Dad:
We are a society in crisis and the root cause is parenting. This book will give you great tools to become a better parent and a better person at the same time.
Larry Winget, Television Personality and New York Times Bestselling Author, Your Kids Are Your Own Fault: A Guide For Raising Responsible, Productive Adults
When I became a father, several decades ago, I wanted to be the best I could be. After all, that's what I wanted to do in all the (work) jobs I had. There was no book on all that it takes. Now comes along Scott Hammond's book with lessons that, with effort (yes, it requires EFFORT) puts fatherhood in excellent perspective for your success.

Successful planning for the interim stage and its management, and guiding performance to serve the Palestinian people effectively, called for a development policy that could operate under the restrictions of the current stage while maintaining ongoing efforts towards the establishment of the Palestinian state. Such a policy required a close observation of conditions on the ground, careful collection of data on various aspects of life, and in-depth and diligent analysis of the information gathered. It also required knowledge about the performance of Palestinian society before the establishment of the PNA, its performance under the PNA, the performance of the PNA itself, and the impact of external factors on overall performance of all actors.
