The secrets to making a positive first impression are nearly as mysterious as you might think. All you have to be is your sweet, charming self. But paying attention to these seven focus areas will help ya bust the new girl nerves and gain the confidence you need for your big first day.
Stop fussing
You know how when you're nervous, you touch your face a lot or twirl your hair. It's time to put a stop to bad habits. Remind yourself that you look great, and those locks don't need any more smoothing, thank you very much. If it helps, peek into a compact or duck into the girls' bathroom to reassure yourself that your outfit and makeup are in place.
You don't need to plaster one on to rival Miss America, but popping a grin will set your soon-to-be friend at ease and show that you're happy to be there and to make a new bud…even if your belly is doing back flips.
Be sincere
There's nothing worse than talking idly to an individual who clearly doesn't care about what you have to say. Come up with a genuine conversation starter, like, "Oh wow! Your shoes are so cute!" to kick things off, and then lets the chatter flow.
Ask questions
If the convo is stalling, pull out some tried-'n'-true questions. Ask how her summer break was, who she has for English, any advice she can dish for navigating the halls—anything goes! If you're talking right before the bell, don't blabber on and on since you both have somewhere to be. But do show an interest.
Listen up!
Speaking of showing interest, it's wicked important that you actually listen to what your would-be-pal is saying and to remember it. File details like her passion for karate and karaoke away so you can use them the next time you speak. Maybe she'll invite you to a class or sing-off!
Make eye contact
I know you're nervous, but staring at your shoes isn't gonna help. You shouldn't stare her down, but do make eye contact as you speak. It shows that you're actively listening to what she has to say instead of critiquing her outfit or looking for someone else to chat up.
See ya later!
Feelin' good friendship vibes? Make casual plans to see her later—in homeroom, lunch, on the bus, after school, whenever. Everybody likes to have plans, especially on a hectic first day.
Good luck, girlie!

Posted by Jonathan Kirsch
I am still reeling a bit from the experience of attending Anna Deavere Smith's riveting but also devastating show about death and dying, "Let Me Down Easy," which just closed at The Broad Stage in Santa Monica.
As it turns out, the show was an appropriate way to prepare for Dr. Marc E. Agronin's "How We Age: A Doctor's Journey into the Heart of Growing Old" (Da Capo, $25). The very first passage in the book describes the dissection of the corpse of a 98-year-old woman, a class exercise in medical school and "a dehumanizing rite of passage," as the author puts it.
Now practicing as an adult and geriatric psychiatrist at Miami Jewish Health Systems, Dr. Agronin invites us to join him in confronting the human soul within the aging body, an experience that "force[s] us to look momentarily into an eternal abyss and trigger[s] unanswerable questions about life and death that can bring wonder as easily as fear and despair."
No prescriptions for long life are offered here, as Dr. Agronin warns us. "I am interested solely in honestly exploring the experience of old age through the lives of my patients," he writes. But he does hold out the hope that we will learn some lessons about an inevitable and often distressing rite of passage. "These lessons promise not the end of aging but a new beginning even as we continue to age."
Like Dr. Sherwin B. Nuland ("How We Die") and Dr. Spencer Nadler ("The Language of Cells"), the author is a practicing physician who is also a gifted writer, a compassionate healer, and something of a philosopher, too. He is deeply literate, and he decorates his book with apt selections from the Bible, Shakespeare, and the poetry of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and T. S. Eliot, among many other sources. But he is too brave and too honest to content himself with rhapsody, and his book — exactly like Anna Deavere Smith's show — confronts us with moments of pain and loss. Sometimes, he confesses, it is the patient who makes the final prescription: "There is nothing more you can do for me," said one dying woman named Emma. "It is time to die."
He writes frankly about the challenges that he faces in his medical practice — the hard cases and the hopeless cases .— but he also looks for and finds moments of redemption. "As a doctor to the aged, I have discovered that I must embrace this uncertainty and hold on tightly, often plunging in up to my elbows and hoping — sometimes against hope — that persistence and faith will prove correct," he writes. "I have seen, however, that regardless of the outcome, our greatest humanity emerges in the desperate process of caring for someone old and ill."

$450,000 Bethel Airport improvement project slated for spring
A $450,000 project to build a new terminal building and entrance road for the Bethel Regional Airport is expected to get underway next spring, pending approval of federal funds that will pay for 90 percent of it.
The 26x50-square-foot building will replace the existing 256-square-foot "pilot's lounge." The new entrance road will be a right turn off the North Road, replacing an entrance that currently shares Airport Road with the town's Gamm building.
The plans also include a new parking area and relocation of the airport's fencing.
The town of Bethel will be responsible for 5 percent of the project cost. The bulk will be paid for with federal funds, with the state chipping in 5 percent, according to Town Manager Jim Doar.
Doar said the relocation of the entrance road will aid in making the "apron" areas near the runway more secure.
The Bethel Airport Authority is currently pursuing permitting for the project, in order to be eligible for the Federal Aviation Administration funds next year.
The project is part of a 20-year Airport Capital Improvement Plan, approved by Bethel selectmen in August, which addresses an expected increase in airport usage and actively encourages more use by itinerant pilots.
Next year's work is part of a short-time phase (2011-2015) of the plan.
Instrument landings, takeoffs coming
Another short-term component is the development of a "nonprecision GPS instrument procedure, an improvement on the current practice of using visual flight rules.
Establishing the GPS system would make the airport more accessible during poorer visibility and would make the airport more attractive to corporate turboprop and business jet users, according to the plan. The system is expected to go into effect next year.
Numbers provided in the plan show that in 2009, there were a total of 4,520 "operations" (landings and takeoffs) at the airport. Operations for 2014, with instrument approaches in place, are projected at 6,500, with 122 instrument approaches.
Other components of both the short- and longer-term plan would support the new GPS landing procedure. They include removing tree obstructions and adding more safety lights both at the airport and on other nearby obstructions.
An example of new safety lights is the possible installation of four red beacon hazard lights on the smaller hills toward the Bingham land/Sunday River end of the runway.
Other future projects may include acquiring additional land or easements around the airport, relocating taxiways, building new hangars, establishing a helicopter landing area and installing a new fuel tank.
More on GPS
Tony Milligan, airport coordinator/assistant manager at the Bethel Airport, was asked to elaborate on the advantages of a GPS approach system.
"A non-precision GPS approach is an instrument procedure that is designed to enhance safety for arriving and departing aircraft, particularly for nighttime and restricted visibility operations as well as for those pilots that are not that familiar with the terrain in the area," he said.
"Presently weather conditions must be good enough to allow a pilot to approach visually (away from clouds, fog and limiting precipitation) from their cruising altitude all the way down to the runway to land safely and legally. Nighttime operations can be equally hazardous as well, because of the unlit mountainous terrain surrounding the airport and lack of adequate lighting and other navigational aids on field.
"As such only local pilots with an exceptionally solid awareness of surrounding terrain and obstacle features will attempt night-time operations at Bethel.
"Many pilots during the winter months will try to rush back to the airport from a day of skiing and try to get out before it gets too dark to avoid the extra risk of night-time flying. A GPS approach or any instrument approach will be huge in enhancing safety for arrivals and departures.
"With an approach procedure specifically designed for the Bethel Airport by the FAA, which comes with enhanced runway and obstacle lighting and obstacle removal, pilots for the first time will have established courses and altitudes for different types of aircraft to safely fly when landing or departing Bethel.
"This instrument procedure will permit pilots to descend to a much lower altitude while in the clouds or otherwise limiting visibility before proceeding visually to the runway than presently allowed by air traffic control.
"It will also serve as a departure procedure for visually-trained pilots operating at nighttime to safety navigate them to an altitude away from terrain and on to their destination.
Bethel Regional Airport is one of the last remaining airports in the region of its size to finally be getting an instrument approach. It is long, long overdue. Bethel will now go from being "open" during good weather days, to being "open" all the time.


text: MSF Rushes Relief To Congolese Displaced by Volcanic EruptionJanuary 18, 2002Tens of thousands have fled from a river of molten rock near the eastern city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Mount Nyiragongo erupted in the early morning of January 18, causing a 150-foot wide torrent of lava that incinerated everything in its path, setting much of Goma aflame. People fled to the nearby towns of Gisenyi, just across the border in Rwanda, and Sake, west of Goma. A three-person Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) team working in Goma was forced to evacuate and has reached Gisenyi unharmed. MSF was requested to participate in the relief efforts, and have sent personnel, medical supplies, and water/sanitation materials to help the team already at Gisenyi. An emergency relief team and supplies was also dispatched to nearby Sake. The most pressing concern will be meeting people's water and sanitation needs, and MSF will closely monitor for any disease outbreaks. The current disaster presents a terrible burden to a population already reeling from a decade of man-made crises. Many of those living in the Goma area were already displaced by successive civil wars. The health-care infrastructure has been shattered, leading to an overall lack of basic medical care, recurring epidemics, and hunger. A recent MSF report found catastrophic mortality rates in five health zones throughout the DRC. And while MSF operates relief programs in many parts of the country, the unstable political situation often makes it difficult for aid to reach people in need.

Sheep MilkingThe Way To Go: Producer By John Phair (adapted from the November 22, 2005issue of VOICE OF THE FARMER)
ZURICH -- Uwe Paschen says he has seen the future of the dairy industryand that is milking sheep. He also boldly predicts that within five-years theproduction of sheep's milk in Canada will threaten its cow industry.
The Zurich area farmer is one of about 40 sheep milk producers inOntario, a number he says is about to expand dramatically over the next fiveyears. His operation was the destination for the November meeting of theDistrict #3 Sheep Producers (Oxford, Perth, Huron and Waterloo Counties).
Paschen says that while North Americans tend to think milking sheep issomewhat unusual, about 70 per cent of the milk produced globally comes fromsheep and in most countries outside of North America sheep milk is the norm,rather than the exception. Paschen was born and raised in Niger, where hisfamily was involved in sheep raising and dairying business. Trained as achemical engineer, he came to Canada in 1989, and for a number of years, taughtschool in London, Ontario, before buying a farm just West of Zurich.
He began milking sheep full-time in 1998 and continued to expand until2003 when he decided to construct a new bank-style barn with a double-20 milkparlour. Above the milking operation he added a small store from which he sellslamb, cheese and other sheep milk products, as well as comfortable livingquarters, a practice he said is common in his native country. He said thiscombination gives him handy access to his 200-head milking flock, which isespecially convenient for keeping an eye on year- round lambing ewes.
Paschen said Canada's changing immigration patterns ensure the future ofthe sheep milk industry. "In 20 to 30 years the average Canadian will nolonger be of British or European descent... the average Canadian will be Asian,African or Latino," he said, pointing out that people from these countriesdon't tend to drink cow's milk; neither do these populations eat much pork orbeef, he said. "I got into milking sheep because I truly believe its thefuture of the Canadian dairy industry," he said.
Paschen's flock consists of mostly purebred dairy breeds, mainly EastFriesens and Dorset crosses. Other than selling some replacement ewes, he saidhe tries to market all his lambs (which he has custom processed and vacuumpacked) in his on-farm store as well as supplying a few to a local caterer.Using his own 8,000 litre milk truck he ships most of his milk production toSilani Sweet Cheese Company, an Italian cheese maker near Toronto. He said healso sells some milk to a local cheese maker and takes cheese back which hesells in his store. "The cheese is becoming very popular," he said.
Paschen said sheep have greater feed conversion efficiency than docattle so consequently, the cost of producing a litre of sheep's milk isconsiderably less than the cost of producing a litre of cow's milk. Paschensaid his milk production is currently averaging 1.8 litres per ewe per day. Hewould like to eventually see that increase that to 2.1 litres per day.
The demand for sheep's milk in Canada has grown by four per centannually for the past 17 years, says Paschen and he predicts that will continueat a higher rate in the future. "Demand is growing faster than we bansupply the product, we can no longer produce enough," he said. "Thereis probably room for another 1,000 producers in the Province of Ontario."

Rumor has it Miles Cameron, author of The Red Knight, is a pseudonym for historical fiction author Christian Cameron. I've no idea if it's true, but it wouldn't surprise me. Orbit's new novel has a ring of authenticity that fantasy often eschews, particularly with regards to combat and tactics. It's also woefully unoriginal, layered with ideas and elements that I've seen dozens of times before. In the end, Cameron has written a novel that promises different, but fails to live up to it, instead delivering the same expected narrative that fantasy fans have 'enjoyed' for a generation.
Billed as the story of a dragon hunting mercenary, the cover of my advanced copy reads,
"Forget George and the Dragon. Forget fancy knights and daring deeds. Slaying dragons is a bloody business."
I'm sure it is, except no one slays any dragons in Red Knight. There is a dragon, and it plays a significant role eventually, but there's decidedly no slaying.… Read the rest

URGENT - North Korea Missile Firing Position
UPDATED 1:13 PM EDT Apr 11, 2013
(CNN) -- On Thursday North Korea had lowered a missile back down into its launcher, a U.S. official told CNN, an event that came after the country raised the missile into its upright firing position on Wednesday. The official said Thursday that it's unclear what this repositioning means -- it could mean a launch is less imminent, or that North Korea was just testing the equipment.

Summer camp begins on Monday, June 3 at the Boca Grande Community Center, and will continue for several weeks.
Traditional camp activities include arts and crafts, sports, organized games, quiet play, educational speakers, water activities, outdoor activities, an annual coloring contest and occasional field trips scheduled Monday through Friday.
While the camp day begins as early as 7:30 a.m. and ends at 6 p.m., the bulk of the structured programming is between 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This gives the parents some leeway in drop off/pick up times so their child does not miss an exciting activity.
Specialty camps fall outside the standard camp ages and/or offer a specific unique focus.
Each specialty camp is an in-depth week on a particular concentration. Specialty camps are for those youth who have a true passion for the topic at hand. Take note that specialty camps are a more condensed day than traditional camps.
Call 964-2564 for more information on how to enroll your children in camp.

Syrian regime's live bullets kill Arab League initiative [Future TV, Lebanon]
Presenter, Female # 1
It is with live bullets that the Syrian regime killed the Arab League initiative on a Friday dubbed "God is greater." And one after the other, the terms of the agreement collapsed. So instead of stopping the killing, this killing machine has claimed 18 lives so far, raising the death toll to 40 since Tuesday when the Damascus regime announced it agreed to the Arab initiative.
Presenter, Male # 1
The blessed Eid al-Adha begins tomorrow for the Arab and Muslim world. As for Syria, it enters a new chapter after its regime aborted the Arab League's initiative, which is probably this regime's last chance.
Reporter, Male # 2
Verifying the intentions of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was their goal and the result was unrelenting killings, crackdowns, and arrests by al-Assad's brigades. After the Arab League announced Damascus' agreement to the Arab initiative, which calls for an immediate end to the violence and release of detainees, opposition members believed al-Assad's regime would allow them to peacefully demonstrate. They called their Friday "the Friday of God is greater" than all those using force. So they took to the streets of Syrian cities and towns in large numbers but faced an unprecedented security deployment and encircled mosques. According to activists, the capital Damascus looked like a military base as massive protests were held in the towns and villages of its countryside. These are scenes of a protest in Sakhaba in the countryside of Damascus that was subjected to a barrage of gunfire by al-Assad's brigades. Homs receives the Assad, or lion's share of the massacres every day but its residents refused to surrender to the security brigades. So they held massive protests across most neighborhoods and cities, chanting for the execution of the president and demanding international protection. Al-Hasaka Province also witnessed large protests, most notably in al- Qamishli and Amouda. Participants confirmed their commitment to continue the revolution until the downfall of the regime. In al- Darbasiyah, the resignation of prominent ruling Baath Party member Mohammad Ahmad el-Bikr was the top headline.
Guest, Male # 3
I have only one reason and it is that too many people are silent and scared. But God willing, with this change and with this power and this presence, and by coming together as one people, we will be able to end the period of the al-Assad family existence among us.
Reporter, Male # 1
As for Aleppo, the Saleh el-Deen neighborhood was subjected to tear gas in an attempt to prevent protests. Activists posted videos online showing a large protest in Tal Rifaat, where anti-Assad chants were heard. Hama also witnessed large demonstrations amid heavy security presence and encircled mosques. However, that did not prevent protestors from marching as usual. The southern province of Daraa witnessed demonstrations. The most notable was in Sanamyen, where this video was filmed. Protests swept the provinces of Deir az-Zour and Idlib. Activists said over 110 marches were launched from different sites despite the bad weather.
Presenter, Female # 1
Amid the continued crackdown, the Syrian Ministry of the Interior gave what it called "gunmen" one week starting this Saturday to surrender and give up their weapons as part of general amnesty.
Saudi-backed Bahraini forces attack thousands of mourners [Press TV, Iran]
In Bahrain, Saudi-backed regime forces have attacked thousands of people out mourning the death of yet another protestor. Regime forces attacked mourners marching to the landmark Pearl Square in the capital Manama. Huge crowds gathered in the nearby town of Sanabis for the funeral of 70-year-old Ali al-Daihi. He was attacked by regime forces on Wednesday night while protesting against the al-Khalifa rule. He succumbed to his injuries several hours later.
Jordanian protestors call for an end to hereditary monarchy [Press TV, Iran]
In Jordan, people have come out calling for the end of the hereditary monarchy. The protestors took to the streets in the south of the country after Friday prayers. The protestors also called for an end to government corruption. Similar protests led to the resignation of Jordan's prime minister last month. Demonstrators have since continued to pour into the streets, this time hinting at a change within the monarchy itself.

Ramin, many prominent leaders are faulting the G20 for coming in by promising bold moves but only leaving with promises and more talk. Is this how it looked. Rami: Well, yes, this is not one of your G20 meetings that is just a roundtable discussion. They have to come up with concrete steps; the market demands it. They are leaving now and they are leaving with an action plan that they say is going to kick start growth and restart trade.
Israel blocks the 'Freedom Waves' from entering besieged Gaza [BBC Arabic, UK]
Presenter, Female #1
An Israeli army's spokesman told the BBC that they have seized the two ships headed to Gaza, and are now towing the ships to the Israeli Ashdod port. The Israeli army's chief of staff ordered the interception of the Irish and Canadian ships. The ships are carrying activists onboard who are trying to break the Israeli siege imposed on Gaza. The Israeli army said the activists onboard the two ships continued sailing toward Gaza, ignoring orders to divert their direction or to unload the ships either in Israel or Egypt.
Reporter, Male #1
The Irish and Canadian ships set sail from Fathiya Port in southwestern Turkey. Their direction is the Gaza Strip, and their goal is to break the Israeli siege imposed on Gaza since Hamas ascended to power. The ships are carrying a symbolic shipment of money and medicine by the 27 activists onboard.
Guest, Male #2 (David Hieb, Canadian Activist)
The cameras are just coming in now because were trying to keep things quiet so we don't draw attention and put the Turkish authorities in a difficult position. This is why we left on a pleasure vessel.
Reporter, Male #1
The US announced it received guarantees from Turkey that its navy would not escort the two ships. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, earlier announced that the Turkish Navy would escort humanitarian flotillas to Gaza and that Israel can't be trusted.
Guest, Female #2 (Kate Cartridge, American Activist)
We just breached international waters. I'm very happy. I expect that Israeli Navy to board the ship at some point on the way to the Gaza Strip. I'm not very fearful, and I feel peaceful, and this should be the case because we are a peaceful flotilla on our way to end the siege.
Reporter, Male #1
This brings back to memory the Marmara incident, in which nine Turkish activists were killed onboard the ship by the Israeli army's gunfire. The Marmara was headed to the Gaza Strip last spring, as part of what was known as the "Freedom Flotilla."
Presenter, Female #1
Meanwhile, deposed Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh commended the Irish and Canadian ships' mission to break the siege imposed on the Gaza Strip. Haniyah said that the lesson is learned by trying.
Guest, Male #3 (Ismail Haniyeh, Deposed Palestinian Prime Minister)
From here, we would like to send our high regards to those expressing solidarity with us, and tell them that their message has been delivered whether they made it or not because they are exposing the occupation.
Majority of Israelis support a military strike against Iran [IBA, Israel]
President Simon Peres also raised the issue of Iran during a stayed visit yesterday in Cyprus. Here's what he had to say: "The world has to stop Iran from becoming a greater and greater danger for every country, supporting war and blood and hatred and death. The best way will be if the international community will exercise its responsibility and commitment." If the Israeli government does decide to bomb Iran, it will have the support of the majority of the Israeli public, but just barely. According to a poll this week in the Haaretz Newspaper, 41 percent said that they support and Israeli attack on nuclear facilities. But 39 percent opposed such a move.
Iran marks anniversary of U.S. embassy seizure [Al-Alam, Iran]
Presenter, Female #1
Today, Iran marks the "day of countering international arrogance," which coincides with the anniversary of the 1979 storming of the U.S. embassy in Tehran by Iranian students. During a speech on the anniversary, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Saeed Jalili, said that Iran possesses documents implicating the US administration in terrorist activities. Jalili added that the documents, which Tehran will present to the international community, show that Washington has directed and supported terrorist groups in an attempt to target certain nations in the region.
Reporter, Male #1
The US embassy in Tehran plays host to a scene that repeats itself every year on the anniversary of its seizure by Iranian students. The protests are usually attended by students from various school and universities. The anniversary has become part of the revolution, and this is why Tehran marks it as a national event open to all people. In the aftermath of the Iranian revolution, the embassy has become known as "the den of espionage," and its anniversary is marked as the "day of countering international arrogance."
Guest, Male #2
Although we weren't here in 1979, we are here now, and we will defend the Imam's values and the objectives of the revolution.
Guest, Female #2
The ones who stormed the embassy were our fathers, and we will take a leading role in any future action.
Reporter, Male #1
This year's anniversary comes under different circumstances. Teheran's politicians are determined to open a new front to counter Washington. The secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Saeed Jalili, has opened the US terror files before the nation. Tehran has mobilized its intelligence agency, and says it possesses 100 documents linking the US to terrorism.
Guest, Male #3 (Saeed Jalili, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council)
Today, the US relies on terrorist activities to reach its illegitimate targets. Therefore, the UN must take necessary measures to pursue the US legally and punish it for its terrorist activities.
Reporter, Male #1
In a preemptive move, Tehran delegated its special envoy to the UN to submit the Iranian documents to the UN Secretary General in a bid to rally support among members of the Security Council. A mobilization that Iran doesn't expect much from, considering how the international community operates. However, Iran says its main objective is to undermine Washington's credibility, which is being questioned today in light of the political mobilization in the region and the Occupy Wall Street protests.
Guest, Male #4
We are living in the period of great Jihad, which requires us to stand firmly against America.
Reporter, Male #1
Thirty two years have passed, and the embassy is still one of the confrontation hubs between Tehran and Washington. It has become known as Iran's second revolution. Tehran picked today, which marks its students' seizure of the US embassy more than 3 decades ago, to engage Washington in a new showdown. Iran's intelligence agency will be the key player in the new political game with Washington. With this, Iran wants to chart the real path of its revolution by dismissing allegations targeting its regime. Nur al-Din al-Dighair, Alalam, Tehran.
Thousands of Yemenis rally on the "Friday of peacefulness is our choice" [Al Jazeera, Qatar]
Presenter, Male # 1
Tens of thousands youths of the peaceful Yemeni revolution participated on a Friday they called "remaining peaceful is our choice" in Sanaa and 17 other cities. Participants renewed their demand for changing the regime of the Yemeni president and for his prosecution. They also confirmed their rejection of any political settlement that grants the president immunity from legal prosecution. On the other hand, supporters of President Ali Saleh gathered in Sabeen Square on a Friday they called "Yemen is everyone's responsibility." They renewed their commitment to what they called "constitutional legitimacy."
Reporter, Male # 2
"Remaining peaceful is our choice." The youth of Yemen once again confirm that their revolution is peaceful and assert their rejection of violence. As usual in al-Siteen Square in Sanaa, massive crowds, young and old, women and children, gather to express their desire to topple the regime of the Yemeni president and for his prosecution. Marches by the youth of the revolution were intensified in the past few days but Fridays still attract the largest crowds. They pray, repeat their chants, and call for the resolution of their revolution. They also renew their rejection of any political settlement that grants Saleh and his regime's figureheads immunity from legal prosecution. Al-Sabeen has lent itself to Saleh's supporters and has served as their square since the spark of the revolution demanding Saleh's downfall. This time, they gather under the banner "Yemen is everyone's responsibility." They announce their loyalty to Saleh and cling to what they call "constitutional legitimacy." In Taiz, which has witnessed bloody days and violent confrontations, the youth gather in their freedom square, mourn their dead, and reject granting immunity to the one they say is the killer of the town's residents. From Saada to Aden, and from al-Mahara to Hodeidah, the squares of change sing the same chants and yearn for freedom and the establishment of a new Yemen. Across Yemen, these crowds watch and wait for the outcome of the Gulf and international action following indications by the ruling party and government that the Gulf initiative will soon be implemented. The opposition says it wants action, not words.
UN to broker deal between Iraq, Iranian exiles [Al-Iraqiya TV, Iraq]
Presenter, Male #1
On the security level in Iraq, 41 members of al-sahwa, or the awakening, were martyred or injured this morning in a twin attack southwest of Baqouba.
Presenter, Female #1
A source at the Diyala health department said six Sahwa members were martyred and 35 others were injured this morning when a terrorist strapped with an explosive belt blew himself up in a gathering of Sahwa members. They were waiting in line to receive their paychecks at the headquarters of the First Division of the 18th Army's Battalion in the area of Um al-Edham west of the city. For its part, Sahwa forces in Diyala Province accused al-Qaeda terrorist network of being behind the attack.
Presenter, Male #1
The Sahwa official in the province, Sami al-Khazraji, said all indications confirm that al-Qaeda is behind the attack, adding that his members will continue to pursue the al-Qaeda network and its allies until they are completely eliminated. In Basra, the local government believes that members of Sadam's Baath party are responsible for yesterday's bombings, in which 40 people were martyred or wounded.
Presenter, Female #1
Basra Governor Khalaf Abdel Samad confirmed in a statement that the latest bombings are a clear indication of the heinous terror that's targeting the democratic process in Iraq, vowing to pursue the perpetrators and their supporters. During a meeting with the UN secretary general's envoy and the UN high commissioner for refugees, the Council of Ministers' General Assembly discussed the possibility of expediting the expulsion of members of the Khalq organization before the end of the year.
Presenter, Male #1
For its part, the Iraqi government confirmed that its decision to expel the organization's members before the end of the year is final.
Reporter, Male #2
With the participation of the UN special envoy and the UN high commissioner for refugees as well as European ambassadors, a special meeting was held today at the Council of Ministers' General Assembly to discuss the implementation of council resolution no. 117 for the year 2011, calling for the expulsion of al-Khalq organization from Iraq by the end of the year. The prime minister's advisor said the decision is irrevocable, and that any extension to the organization's presence hinges on the implementation of the exit mechanism.
Guest, Male #3 (Gorguis Yacoub, Political Advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister)
Despite taking quick, suitable, and adequate measures with regards to this decision, recommendations will be referred to the Council of Ministers to look into moving or extending the decision of the council.
Reporter, Male #2
For his part, the UN special envoy expressed the international community's commitment to finding a solution to this issue while considering the Iraqi government's decision. He indicated that the United Nations is ready to contribute if needed. He stated that important meetings will be held on this issue after al-Eid to discuss an exit strategy for members of the organization.
Guest, Male #4, (Martin Kobler, U.N. Envoy to Iraq)
The situation, as is, is not satisfactory, neither to Camp Ashraf residents nor to the government, nor to the international community. Therefore, we will discuss the process to solve this problem and find a third country to host them.
Reporter, Male #2
It is worth mentioning that the former dictatorship ensured that the organization's presence in Diyala Province encompasses over 3,000 members. It seems the issue of the new Iraqi camp, or what is known as al-Ashraf camp, will soon be resolved in the face of the Iraqi government's determination to implement its decision and the UN's readiness to offer all forms of support and aid. From Baghdad, Saidi Gazala, al-Iraqiya.

Colombia Cerro Azul Geisha
Colombia Cerro Azul GeishaProfileIt's back, new crop Geisha from Cerro Azul, the farm that helped us win the prestigious 2013 Roaster's Choice award at this year's Specialty Coffee Association of America's annual conference and exposition. Receiving this award is an honor; evaluated and judged by our peers at the Roasters Guild, a professional organization focused on highlighting the art and craft of coffee roasting. Cerro Azul is one of a handful of farms owned and operated by Granja La Esperanza, and is planted almost exclusively to the rare and celebrated botanical variety known as Geisha. Geisha (also known as Gesha) is an Ethiopia-derived heirloom variety that was planted by Granja La Esperanza as part of a multi-year project focused on producing outstanding coffees through deliberate quality improvement efforts. The project includes study and operation of a farm in Boquete Panama, the growing region best known for the Geisha variety. Data for every imaginable detail is logged in order to find correlations between different variables and positive results. In order for coffee to be sold as Cerro Alzul Geisha it must meet the quality expectations for the farm's terroir, if it doesn't, then it is not sold with the Cerro Azul designation. This is a fully washed and sun dried coffee. When completely dry the parchment coffee is stored in Grain Pro bags, an unusual extra step taken to protect the coffee from damaging moisture. Even the warehouse were coffee is stored is temperature and humidity controlled. Cupping NotesSmooth and silky with lush floral-tones (honeysuckle, lavender and jasmine) and notes of sweet orange and lemon zest. Special Roast DaysDue to limited availability and to maintain freshness, we will be roasting this coffee once a week on Mondays. Order a bag now and we will roast and ship the following Monday.

"RIP Bob 'Gilligan' Denver!" typed a Facebook user moments ago. "My favorite show growing up was Gilligan's Island."
"Bob Denver passing makes me sad," another person tweeted earlier this morning. "Gilligan's Island was my childhood Seinfeld."
Judging from the volume of treacly "RIP Gilligan" postings over the past 24 hours, the Internet is deeply, deeply saddened by the passing of Gilligan's Island star Bob Denver and completely oblivious to the fact that he died eight years ago on Sep. 2, 2005.
Worse yet, exactly the same thing happened last year. Was nobody paying attention?
Oh, Internet.

If you see a graphic image purporting to show facial injuries sustained by Paul Walker in his fatal car crash on Saturday, don't share it. It isn't a postmortem photo of Paul Walker. The pic actually dates from 2011 and shows the face of an American charity worker seriously injured in a construction mishap two years ago in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
As noted previously, despite conflicting reports on the Internet, it has been confirmed by Paul Walker's representatives that the Fast & Furious actor died in a fiery car crash Saturday afternoon.

Out of Character Thread
Long ago, on the southern tip of the deserts of Conjuska, there was once a prosperous kingdom, ruled by the jackal race known as the fazil. Long before the races of men, elf, or even the fenrir could begin building their kingdoms, the fazil had built their dynasty and ruled over their lands peacefully. However, one day, the entire kingdom was quiet. Men of the northern deserts descended south, only to find the sands turned to an ashen grey, and a wall of shimmering air separating the grey from the golden sands. Any who passed through never returned.
Several centuries have passed, and the tales of the fazil and the Veil have become more and more fantastical and whimsical, making them out to be the wealthiest creatures in existence, and the Veil was their way of keeping that wealth to themselves. Others speculate that the gods cursed them, long ago. And still others believe it was a magical experiment gone wrong. Whatever the case, the Veil and the lands beyond, known as the Twilight Desert, remain mysterious and forbidden. However, this has not stopped several expeditions into the Veil. Unfortunately, none have returned. But a lust for money, knowledge, and power have continued to lead scholars and warriors down into the Veil, hoping to succeed where others have failed. Will you be the one to shift the curse on the Twilight Desert, or will you be just another skull in those grey sands?
So, you will be playing as a mercenary or scholar going down into the Veil, for whatever reason you want to make up. This will not be a merciful rp. I will try to kill you. And if you die, you are dead. There are no do-overs with new characters. You will also not have control over the environment like many rp's do. You may have some, very limited control, but I will be the one that controls nearly everything. I also am only looking for a few players, maybe five or six. The rest, which will be another four or five, will be be controlled by me.
There are four races available: Humans, elves, imps, fenrir, and ferrals. Magic is available, and works like fatigue. The more magic you use, the more tired you are. Races and countries will be explained further in the OOC, if it comes.

Celebrating 30 years in business
The EDC RotaryTM flashlight is here
The revolutionary EDC Rotary flashlight allows you to completely adjust the brightness level with a simple twist of the rotary control.
There is currently a significant backlog so it may take a few weeks to ship new orders.
How tough is the EDC TacticalTM?
To get things going, we started by dropping this production EDC Tactical repeatedly from a height of 6 meters (20 feet) on to concrete, pavement and rocks. We then moved on to throwing the light at concrete, pavement and rocks for over an hour. The light still functions normally using the original battery. The glass lens did not break even with this severe abuse. Can your flashlight survive this kind of punishment?
Kydex holsters now available
Two different Kydex holsters are now available for use with all of our flashlights. The smaller holster is designed for dress belts while the larger holster is designed for wider duty belts. Both can be adjusted for just the right pull tension when drawing the light from the holster. See the accessories page for details.
Tactical ring now available
The accessory tactical ring is now available for use with your favorite pistol shooting stance. The tactical ring can be mounted on the switch cap for a secure cigar hold or to the head for a forward grip. See the accessories page for details.
High power NVG IR illuminator flashlights now available
The EDC IRTM flashlight adds a high power infrared LED to our capable EDC-series military flashlight for the most versatile IR illuminator available. With 4 preset brightness levels, you can choose a low level for close quarter work or a high level to light up distant objects over 110 yards (100 meters) away. The medium to higher levels are also useful for illuminating the shadows around bright lights often encountered in urban areas. Completely optimized for the current generation of night vision goggles.

New online-only charter school gets state approval
Posted at: 02/01/2013 10:04 PM
| Updated at: 02/01/2013 10:25 PM
By: Danielle Todesco, KOB Eyewitness News 4
This fall public school students across New Mexico could start getting their education completely online.
Education Secretary Designate Hanna Skandera just approved the New Mexico Connections Academy on Wednesday. The school still has to get a few more things approved before it starts operations this August. It would be the state's second virtual charter school, but this one would serve the entire state.
The school would be funded based on the students. That means they would get the same funding as a normal school.
The idea is to give parents and students options when it comes to public education.
"Some kids learn well one on one. Some have trouble sitting in a regular classroom, and a virtual education is good for certain groups," Public Education Department Deputy Secretary of Finance Paul Aguilar said.
Back in September, the Public Education Commission heard the school's proposal and voted against the school in a 6-to-3 vote. Commissioner Vince Bergman voiced concerns about virtual schools causing a loss in funding for other districts. This is an excerpt of Bergman's statements from the meeting minutes:
"If there is a significant negative budget impact in their district, classes are going to have to be cancelled; teachers are going to have to be laid off."
Skandera overruled that vote when the school's founding board appealed.
Students wanting to attend will have to enter a lottery to be accepted.

Lucknow, Aug 17 (IANS) Violent protests were reported Friday from Lucknow, Kanpur and Allahabad cities of Uttar Pradesh where Muslim mobs, protesting the attacks on the community in Assam and Myanmar, went on a rampage, attacking passers-by, and vandalising shops and vehicles.
After Lucknow and Kanpur, the violence spread to Allahabad where a mob in the Kareli area set vandalised shops on fire and damaged vehicles. The area was placed under curfew.
"Curfew has been imposed to avoid spread of violence though it has been contained," Inspector General of Police (Law and Order) B.P. Singh told IANS.
Meanwhile the Director General of Police A.C. Sharma appealed to the people of the state not to heed to rumours. "It is my appeal to the people that they should not pay attention to mischieveous SMSs and rumours aimed at disrupting communal harmony in the state," he added.
Talking to IANS, the state police chief said that police have been asked to identify mischief makers with the help of pictures and videography. Police across the state have been asked to be vigilant, he added.
Violence broke out in the Uttar Pradesh capital as hundreds of irate Muslims took to the streets, attacked people, and vandalised shops and vehicles in their way.
It all started after prayers on the last Friday of the month of Ramzan when a mob of over 2,000 people, owing allegiance to Jamaat-e-Ulema, took out a procession from old Lucknow after the 'alvida namaaz' and began moving towards the Vidhan Sabha.
Raising slogans against the killings of Muslims in Myanmar and Assam, the crowd turned violent even targeting the famous Buddha Park where they vandalised many statues and uprooted plants. The police posse present there remained silent spectators.
The crowd was finally physically stopped at the Vidhan Sabha when the protesters wanted to proceed towards the chief minister's Kalidas Marg residence.
The mob then turned its ire on the media persons and cameramen present at the legislature, attacking the journalists, breaking their cameras and vandalising the OB van of a national television channel.
While the mob soon melted away, the media persons staged a sit-in demanding action and arrest of the people who attacked them. They said they would not move until the principal secretary for home came and met them and ordered arrest of the attackers.
Violent protests were also reported from Kanpur also where protesters pelted stones on passers-by at Rizvi Road and Cycle Market areas after the namaaz. Rapid Action Force (RAF) has been deployed to prevent further escalation of violence.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came down heavily on the Akhilesh Yadav government for the violence, accusing it of "playing with fire".
State unit spokesman Vijay Pathak said the fact that such an armed mob was allowed to go on rampage in such a high-security zone of the state capital proved that there was "nothing called a government in the state".

Bio and Links
I was born in a two room tar-papered house that was built of raw pine lumber inside the edge of my grandads' cornfield in the 'Big Thicket' area of South-East Texas. At that time there were six kids plus Mom & Dad. Mom heated our two room home and cooked our meals on a pot-belly stove after washing our clothes with a scrub board until about 1950. In 1952 we moved to Louisiana. Mom & Dad had seven children, at the time of this entry five are living.
I enlisted (RA) and served in the US Army for three years (1965-1968,the last 20 months was in South East Asia without leave) and had a Joint MACTHAI assignment (all four services on the same compound).
I later completed a five year in-house apprenticeship under Ray Walker (Board Certified Questioned Document Examiner), which qualified me to become a "Questioned Document Investigator" and prove forgery in court to free the innocent and to hang the guilty. My mentor (Raymond "Ray" Walker) passed away in 1994 ending my five year apprenticeship, I am grateful to have had the only five year in-house apprenticeship that he had ever given.
I have been certified by Ray Walker, and formally qualified in handwritng analysis since 1990 and given a diploma. I earned my Questioned Document certification (Diploma) in 1991. The first case to testify in court as an expert was in Ft. Worth, Texas in Tarrant County in 1995 shortly after Ray Walker's death, which was a continuation of Ray Walker's case.
One of my most important (voluminous) cases was in Lea County, New Mexico. It is with cases like this when I have abandoned my safety for a client.
I have been formally qualified as a Questioned Document Investigator since 1991. A most recent major case to testify was in 2009, was before the Louisiana State Supreme Court (which is the Louisiana State Bar Association, my client was an attorney) where my qualifications as a Questioned Document Investigator were accepted and entered into the record. I have never caused any of my clients to lose their case by making either a wrongful conclusion or a dishonest conclusion, and have never been disqualified in any Court as a professional Questioned Document Investigator.
It must be understood by any reader of my Bio, that all my past clients could be represented by me only if I could present truthful, factual evidence in their favor. You see, If my findings were not in their favor, they would not want to retain me. My mentor taught me that "The Truth does not diminish with time" and remains the same.
I am not associated/affiliated with anyone that is related to Handwriting Services International now or in the past.
I was introduced to findagrave.com by Carolyn Byrum (from New Mexico) over four years ago so I could begin a search for the family I never knew. Please visit my Virtual Family links and see a very wide family history....
It's a pity when a blood relative has to steal my professional identity and forge my name & then profit from that forgery while representing themselves to be me, even if they didn't qualify or deserve to hold such a title. Such person(s) have been disqualified not less than four times in the Federal Court's (Maine, Illinois, Georgia & Hawaii) yet continued to wrongfully advertise themselves to be ethical and have the highest standards. It's been found that if someone is not Qualified in 'one' court then they are not Qualified in 'any' court, must less the 'Four' Federal Courts where they have been disqualified. I have taken a polygraph examination in my own defense regarding my qualifications and ethical practices, and the results were "No Deceit Indicated" . The relatives refused to take one.
This person/relative has also been dis-qualified in several district courts in several states. His son's unqualified/unprofessional opinion has also been 'over-ruled' in Judge Judith Scheindlin's (Judge Judy) court on T.V. because he didn't follow procedure/protocol in making his unqualified decision. You should notice that he has never taken the time to 'brag' about this instance!!!
This person(s) also tried several times to have statements of several knowledgeable authors that had been printed, removed, and to prevent them from making further statements. The only time that demands such as this are made is "When there is evidence of fraud" and they don't want the rest of the world to know the truth.
It has been shown by these relatives that they would not hesitate to "Throw their own Mother under the Bus" and use unfortunate situations to cover their wrongful actions. I deeply regret these deeds.....
I have worked with law enforcement (State & Federal) in my job of defending myself & my clients and refuse to allow such gregarious and pernicious deeds to hurt me.
I have had to remind some on occasion, that "My expertise is for sale, my opinion is not".
Any picture I have placed on any Find a Grave memorial may NOT be used on any other web site and may Not be copied for any other purpose.
IF YOU WANT A TRANSFER or make Corrections, READ THE FOLLOWING:
Because of a recent abuse of a fellow contributor by someone who was obviously confused about the Find A Grave guidelines and or transfers, I suggest the following for anyone who asks me for a transfer:
1) Please use "Suggest a Correction" for transfer requests or corrections. It is found under the edit tab on the upper right corner (in the memorial of the one you want transfered). I will respond only to those who do.
2) If you ask for a transfer please include your relationship to the memorial and your contributor I.D. You must be a member of Find A Grave and have a contributor ID in order to request a transfer and/or manage memorials on Find A Grave. If you use the "Suggest a Correction" you won't have to identify yourself, your Find a Grave I.D. will already be there.
3) If you have a problem with something I have posted, please Email me or click on "suggest a correction" instead of posting it on my contributor page where it would use important space that can be used for more important things. I will address the issue as quickly as I possibly can.
Please keep this in mind: Those of us who contribute to Find A Grave, do so voluntarily and free of charge. This is a part time hobby of mine, and began purely as a search for the relatives I never knew (both those I have appreciated and a few I didn't). It is now also done for the purpose of freely assisting people interested in doing research of their family history or their geneology.
Thank You!

Hi Charles,
A short time back you took a picture of my maternal grandfather, Robert "Bob" Mansfield Neal's headstone in Alexandria Memorial Gardens Cemetery just out from Alexandria, LA. I really appreciate your doing so and letting me know about it.
I don't know why I didn't see if you Baggett line connected with my father-in-law. His sister, Alice Miley married John Baggett. I have additional information on their family if you want it.
Charlie Miley's wife Elma Clark's sister, Edna Clark Vidrine is a sister-in-law to my sister-in-law.

Dezzie Hazelton
Hi Charles,
Thanks for the info concerning Dezzie. It was funny how I happened across her and added her and her husband. I was in that part of the cemetery looking for someone else when their stone caught my eye. There are not many Hazeltons, and I knew that name, so I took the pic.
Her husband's sister, Beulah, and I were neighbors and friends, and she showed me letters from Dezzie. When Beulah passed away, I contacted her nephew, Bobby, whom I later met at her funeral. I sent him several family items, and I believe I sent the letters to Beulah from his mom. Of course, now Bobby has passed away too, so no telling what happened to those things, but ...
Several members of this family are in the Turkey Creek area. Beulah and I drove past the area one year as a birthday excursion to her home territory. We passed by a cemetery there and she mentioned this to me, though I do not know the cemetery name.
Thanks again,

The people in this city are complete idiots when it comes to snow/ice.
I saw an obscene amount of trucks & SUV's on the roads this morning. Those are the absolutely WORST vehicles to use on this weather. I got in work late because so many people are busy occupying every lane of the interstate going no faster than 15mph and thinking they're such do-gooders because they're afraid to go faster in their big rear-wheel drive F350 pickups that they have to slow down cars like mine (4-wheel drive, stick shift, new tires, new brakes) that are actually built for weather like this.
Seriously, I know what I'd doing, dumbo's. I'm not driving wrecklessly. My car knows what it needs to do in this weather and I made it just fine. STOP SLOWING ME DOWN!!!!
Dude, quit your whining. I suggest a girlfriend may help you with your senseless issues.

Director: Paul W.S. Anderson
Stars: Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter, Wentworth Miller (Full Cast)
Studio: Screen Gems
Plot Summary:
In a world ravaged by a virus infection, turning its victims into the Undead, Alice (Jovovich), continues on her journey to find survivors and lead them to safety. Her deadly battle with the Umbrella Corporation reaches new heights, but Alice gets some unexpected help from an old friend. A new lead that promises a safe haven from the Undead takes them to Los Angeles, but when they arrive the city is overrun by thousands of Undead – and Alice and her comrades are about to step into a deadly trap.
THE BUZZ: We're so not tired of this saga, and for those of you aligned with us: think how amazing Afterlife will be in 3-D! Screen Gems upped the budget for Paul W. S. Anderson to shoot the movie around the world with James Cameron's Fusion camera system. We especially love that the character Chris Redfield will make an appearance, played by former "Prison Break"er Wentworth Miller, who should find himself in more genre films in the near future. Extra-exciting is the notion that the whole thing looks like a long T.A.T.U. music video!
Prepared for Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)
There are lots of movies to watch out for by the end of 2010 and the number one sought after movies to be the Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010). A lot of movies goers around the world who are very excited to watch this film. Actually, this is a sequel and you will surely watch the Resident Evil 4, if you have watch the first, second and third sequel. This is a horror and action film all in one. If you want to be thrilled and give yourself with a different adrenalin rush, then this film will suit you.
Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) in 3D is a power house cast of many great actors and actresses of this new generation. This is a science-fiction action and horror film that was written and directed by a well as renowned director Paul W. S. Anderson. The lead stars of the movie are Milla Jovovich, Kim Coates, Spencer Locke, Ali Larter, Wentworth Miller, Boris Kodjoe, and Shawn Roberts. This film is the first sequel among the first four who will be shown in 3D. Here in the movie, the lead star Alice search and rescue all survivors from the Los Angeles T-virus outbreak that was happened during the Resident Evil- Extinction.
The Extinction was released during the years 2007 and it was a box-office hit that time. The development of the Afterlife sequel begun in the year 2008 and wrote by the same author. All the elements within the video game Resident Evil 5 were combined within the film. This film will surely bring again bucks of money as this will be a blockbuster movie of 2010. Since the last sequel Extinction, people are searching for survivors for the last episode. In the Afterlife the lead star Alice will come face to face to her rival who is Albert Wesker.
This is actually the selling point of the story because Alice has never met or come in contact with him. When Alice tried to enter the decimated city of Los Angeles, she will be stumbles in an area that is overrun by zombies. Alice will find out a small team of survivors to team up with her after the dreaded T-virus. Alice will also find out that there are group of non-zombie people that were imprisoned. Her mission is to recuse these people who were trapped.
Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) in 3D will once again rule the movie scene around the world. With this movie being in 3D, you need to expect that the price will be a pit expensive than non-3D movies. The movie is also available in non-3d format for movie goers who are on a budget. You can choose between 3D and non-3D movie. If you choose 3D expect that there will be a lot of body parts coming and flying around the screen for your own viewing pleasure. The Resident Evil Afterlife will surely hit the theaters like a wild fire. Make sure that you will be the one to watch it first.
