What was supposed to be a routine robbery turns into a double cross when Porter's wife and his best friend shoot him and leave him for dead. But things take a turn for the bizarre when Porter recuperates seeking revenge for the money he was swiped out of. Only to learn that the money is now in the hands of a crime organization. He's determined to get the money back and his many encounters include his less than likeable ex partner, a snivelling crook, two corrupt cops, a brutal dominatrix, and one very lethal crime boss.

About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
The Health-o-Meter is your basic dial bathroom scale. One tester found it was noisy when she stepped on the platform. This scale also did not wow us in any area, and it rated among the lowest for accuracy, with one tester registering more than four pounds too heavy. 300-pound weight capacity.

Oslo I Accord

The Oslo I Accord or Oslo I, officially called the Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements[1] or Declaration of Principles (DOP), was an attempt in 1993 to set up a framework that would lead to the resolution of the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict. It was the first face-to-face agreement between the government of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
Negotiations concerning the agreement, an outgrowth of the Madrid Conference of 1991, were conducted secretly in Oslo, Norway hosted by the Fafo institute, and completed on 20 August 1993; the Accords were subsequently officially signed at a public ceremony in Washington, D.C., on 13 September 1993[2] in the presence of PLO chairman Yasser Arafat, the then Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and U.S. President Bill Clinton. The documents themselves were signed by Mahmoud Abbas for the PLO, foreign Minister Shimon Peres for Israel, U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher for the United States and foreign minister Andrei Kozyrev for Russia.
The Accord provided for the creation of a Palestinian interim self-government, the Palestinian National Authority (PNA). The Palestinian Authority would have responsibility for the administration of the territory under its control. The Accords also called for the withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) from parts of the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
It was anticipated that this arrangement would last for a five-year interim period during which a permanent agreement would be negotiated (beginning no later than May 1996). Issues such as Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees, Israeli settlements, security and borders were left to future negotiations. In 1995, the Oslo I Accord was followed by Oslo II. Neither promised Palestinian statehood.
In August 1993, the delegations had reached an agreement, which was signed in secrecy by Peres while visiting Oslo. Peres took the agreement to the United States to the surprise of U.S. negotiator Dennis Ross. However, the Palestinians and Israelis had not yet agreed on the wording of the Letters of Mutual Recognition, which constituted an agreement in which the PLO would acknowledge the state of Israel and pledge to reject violence, and Israel would recognize the (unelected) PLO as the official Palestinian authority, allowing Yasser Arafat to return to the West Bank. Most of the negotiations for this agreement were carried out in a hotel in Paris, now in full view of the public and the press. An agreement was reached and signed by Yasser Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin, just in time for the official signing in Washington.[3] The Accords were officially signed on 13 September 1993, at a Washington ceremony hosted by U.S. President Bill Clinton.[2]

Principles of the Accords
This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2010) |
In essence, the accords called for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from parts of the Gaza Strip and West Bank, and affirmed a Palestinian right of self-government within those areas through the creation of a Palestinian Interim Self-Government Authority. Palestinian rule was to last for a five-year interim period during which "permanent status negotiations" would commence—no later than May 1996—in order to reach a final agreement. Major issues such as Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees, Israeli settlements, and security and borders were to be decided at these permanent status negotiations (Article V). Israel was to grant interim self-government to the Palestinians in phases.
Along with the principles, the two groups signed Letters of Mutual Recognition—the Israeli government recognized the PLO as the legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, while the PLO recognized the right of the state of Israel to exist and renounced terrorism as well as other violence, and its desire for the destruction of the Israeli state.
The aim of Israeli–Palestinian negotiations was to establish a Palestinian Interim Self-Government Authority, an elected Council, for the Palestinian people in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, for a transitional period not exceeding five years, leading to a permanent settlement based on UN Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338, an integral part of the whole peace process.
In order that the Palestinians govern themselves according to democratic principles, free and general political elections would be held for the Council.
Jurisdiction of the Palestinian Council would cover the West Bank and Gaza Strip, except for issues that would be finalized in the permanent status negotiations. The two sides viewed the West Bank and Gaza as a single territorial unit.
The five-year transitional period would commence with Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and Jericho area. Permanent status negotiations would begin as soon as possible between Israel and the Palestinians. The negotiations would cover remaining issues, including: Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees, Israeli settlements, security arrangements, borders, relations and cooperation with other neighbors, and other issues of common interest.
There would be a transfer of authority from the Israel Defense Forces to the authorized Palestinians, concerning education and culture, health, social welfare, direct taxation, and tourism.
The Council would establish a strong police force, while Israel would continue to carry the responsibility for defending against external threats.
An Israeli–Palestinian Economic Cooperation Committee would be established in order to develop and implement in a cooperative manner the programs identified in the protocols.
A redeployment of Israeli military forces in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip would take place.
The Declaration of Principles would enter into force one month after its signing. All protocols annexed to the Declaration of Principles and the Agreed Minutes pertaining to it were to be regarded as a part of it.
Annexes of the accords
Annex 1: Conditions of Palestinian Elections
This annex covered election agreements, a system of elections, rules and regulations regarding election campaigns, including agreed arrangements for the organizing of mass media, and the possibility of licensing a TV station.
Annex 2: Withdrawal of Israeli forces
An agreement on the withdrawal of Israeli military forces from the Gaza Strip and Jericho area. This agreement will include comprehensive arrangements to apply in the Gaza Strip and the Jericho area subsequent to the Israeli withdrawal. Internal security and public order by the Palestinian police force consisting of police officers recruited locally and from abroad (holding Jordanian passports and Palestinian documents issued by Egypt). Those who will participate in the Palestinian police force coming from abroad should be trained as police and police officers.
- A temporary international or foreign presence, as agreed upon.
- Establishment of a joint Palestinian–Israeli Coordination and Cooperation Committee for mutual security purposes.
- Arrangements for a safe passage for persons and transportation between the Gaza Strip and Jericho area.
- Arrangements for coordination between both parties regarding passages: Gaza–Egypt; and Jericho–Jordan.
Annex 3: Economic cooperation
The two sides agree to establish an Israeli–Palestinian continuing Committee for economic cooperation, focusing, among other things, on the following:
- Cooperation in the field of water
- Cooperation in the field of electricity
- Cooperation in the field of energy
- Cooperation in the field of finance
- Cooperation in the field of transport and communications
- Cooperation in the field of trade and commerce
- Cooperation in the field of industry
- Cooperation in, and regulation of, labor relations
- Cooperation in social welfare issues
- An environmental protection plan
- Cooperation in the field of communication and media
Annex 4: Regional development
The two sides will cooperate in the context of the multilateral peace efforts in promoting a Development Program for the region, including the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, to be initiated by the G7 countries.
Agreed minutes of the accords
Minute A: General understandings
Any powers and responsibilities transferred to the Palestinians through the Declaration of Principles prior to the inauguration of the Council will be subject to the same principles pertaining to Article IV, as set out in the agreed minutes below.
Minute B: Specific understandings
Article IV: Council's jurisdiction
It was to be understood that: Jurisdiction of the Council would cover West Bank and Gaza Strip territory, except for issues that would be negotiated in the permanent status negotiations.
Article V: Permanent status negotiations issues
It was understood that several issues were postponed to permanent status negotiations, including: Jerusalem, refugees, settlements, security arrangements, borders, relations and co-operation with other neighbours, and other issues of common interest. The outcome of these permanent status negotiations should not be prejudiced or pre-empted by the parties.
Article VI (2): Transferring authority
It was agreed that the transfer of authority would be as follows: The Palestinians would inform the Israelis of the names of the authorized Palestinians who would assume the powers, authorities and responsibilities that would be transferred to the Palestinians according to the Declaration of Principles in the following fields: education and culture, health, social welfare, direct taxation, tourism, and any other authorities agreed upon.
Article VII (2): Cooperation
The Interim Agreement would also include arrangements for coordination and cooperation.
Article VII (5): Israel's powers
The withdrawal of the military government would not prevent Israel from exercising the powers and responsibilities not transferred to the Council.
Article VIII: Police
It was understood that the Interim Agreement would include arrangements for cooperation and coordination. It was also agreed that the transfer of powers and responsibilities to the Palestinian police would be accomplished in a phased manner. The accord stipulated that Israeli and Palestinian police would do joint patrols.
Article X: Designating officials
It was agreed that the Israeli and Palestinian delegations would exchange the names of the individuals designated by them as members of the Joint Israeli–Palestinian Liaison Committee which would reach decisions by agreement.
Annex XI: Israel's continuing responsibilities
It was understood that, subsequent to the Israeli withdrawal, Israel would continue to be responsible for external security, and for internal security and public order of settlements and Israelis. Israeli military forces and civilians would be allowed to continue using roads freely within the Gaza Strip and the Jericho area.
In Israel, a strong debate over the accords took place; the left wing supported them, while the right wing opposed them. After a two-day discussion in the Knesset on the government proclamation in the issue of the accord and the exchange of the letters, on 23 September 1993, a vote of confidence was held in which 61 Knesset members voted for the decision, 50 voted against and 8 abstained.
Palestinian reactions were also divided. Fatah, the group that represented the Palestinians in the negotiations, accepted the accords. But Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine objected to the accords because their own charters refuse to recognize Israel's right to exist in Palestine.
On both sides, there were fears of the other side's intentions. Israelis suspected that the Palestinians were entering into a tactical peace agreement, and that they were not sincere about wanting to reach peace and coexistence with Israel. They saw it as part of the PLO's Ten Point Program which calls for a national authority "over every part of Palestinian territory that is liberated" until "the liberation of all Palestinian territory." For evidence they brought statements by Arafat in Palestinian forums, in which he compared the accord to the Hudaibiya agreement that Muhammad signed with the sons of the tribe of Quraish.[citation needed] They understood those statements as an attempt to justify the signing of the accords in accordance with historical-religious precedent, with step agreements to reach a final goal.
After the signing of the agreements, Israel continued expanding existing settlements although this fell far short of the Shamir government's 1991–1992 level. Before Oslo, in 1991–1992, 14,320 units were constructed. After Oslo, 3,850 units were built in 1994–1995 and 3,570 units in 1996–1997,<ref[http://www.fmep.org/settlement_info/settlement-info-and-tables/stats-data/housing-starts-in-israel-the-west-bank-and-gaza-strip-settlements-1990-2003</ref> although the settler population in the West Bank continued growing by around 10,000 per year.[4] The Palestinians built throughout area C of the West Bank administered by Israel without permit.[5][unreliable source?] the acts had been named as Palestinian outposts or Palestinian settlements by the Israeli media.
According to the Israeli government, the Israelis' trust in the accords was undermined by the fact that after the signing, the attacks against Israel intensified,[6] which some explained as an attempt by certain Palestinian organizations to thwart the peace process. Others believed that the Palestinian Authority had no interest in stopping these attacks and was instead endorsing them. Important sections of the Israeli public opposed the process; notably, the Jewish settlers feared that it would lead to them losing their homes.
Many Palestinians feared that Israel was not serious about dismantling their settlements in the West Bank, especially around Jerusalem. They feared they might even accelerate their settlement program in the long run, by building more settlements and expanding existing ones.[7]
In 1994 Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat received the Nobel Peace Prize following the singning on the Oslo Accords, [8] "for their efforts to create peace in the Middle East".[9]
Remarks from Benjamin Netanyahu
In a 2001 video, Netanyahu, reportedly unaware he was being recorded, said: "They asked me before the election if I'd honor [the Oslo accords]... I said I would, but [that] I'm going to interpret the accords in such a way that would allow me to put an end to this galloping forward to the '67 borders. How did we do it? Nobody said what defined military zones were. Defined military zones are security zones; as far as I'm concerned, the entire Jordan Valley is a defined military zone. Go argue."[10][11] Netanyahu then explained how he conditioned his signing of the 1997 Hebron agreement on American consent that there be no withdrawals from "specified military locations", and insisted he be allowed to specify which areas constituted a "military location"—such as the whole of the Jordan Valley. "Why is that important? Because from that moment on I stopped the Oslo Accords", Netanyahu affirmed.[12]
The Oslo Accords may appear not to have considered factors that would influence its interpretation. For example, the Cave of the Patriarchs massacre, in which 29 Palestinians were killed and 125 wounded,[13] is often blamed for undermining Palestinian trust in the process. Similarly, intensification of Palestinian terror in the years immediately following the signing of the accord led to disenchantment on the Israeli side. These included a car bomb in Afula killing 8 people and a suicide bombing attack on the No. 5 bus on Dizengoff Street in Tel-Aviv killing 21 Israelis and one Dutch national.[14] Another point of ongoing contention was the expansion of Israeli settlements[15] and blockades which caused the deterioration of economic conditions[citation needed], and much frustration for Palestinians. These factors caused a drop in support for the accord and for those who supported it.[citation needed]
There have been suggested alternatives to boundary setting and creating principles that divide Israelis and Palestinians. One alternative is to move a peace process towards the creation of a bi-national state, a "one-state solution", that promotes co-existence rather than to continuing to divide. An argument for this as a possible way of reconciliation is that neither side can wholly justify a claim for homogeneity. Also, some Israeli and Palestinian thinkers have previously argued for a bi-national state as a more attractive alternative to separatism.[16]
Norwegian academics, including Norway's leading authority on the negotiations, Hilde Henriksen Waage, have focused on the flawed role of Norway during the Oslo process. In 2001, the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) commissioned Waage to produce an official, comprehensive history of the Norwegian-mediated back channel negotiations. In order to do the research, she was given privileged access to all relevant, classified files in the ministry's archives. The MFA had been at the heart of the Oslo process. Waage was surprised to discover "not a single scrap of paper for the entire period from January to September 1993—precisely the period of the back channel talks". Waage has written that, "Had the missing documents been accessible, there seems no doubt they would have shown the extent to which the Oslo process was conducted on Israel's premises, with Norway acting as Israel's helpful errand boy."[17]
Consequences of the accord
In 2013 NRK said that "The Oslo Accord divided the metropolis of Hebron—in two. In a small, fortified area of its old city quarters—a small group of Israeli settlers reside, surrounded by more than 120 000 Palestinians."[18]
Subsequent negotiations
In addition to the first accord, namely the Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government, other more specific accords are often informally also known as "Oslo":
Oslo 2
- The Interim Agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (also called Oslo 2), signed on 28 September 1995 gave Palestinians self-rule in Bethlehem, Hebron, Jenin, Nablus, Qalqilya, Ramallah, Tulkarm, and some 450 villages.
Loss of credibility
Since the start of the al-Aqsa Intifada, the Oslo Accords have been viewed with increasing disfavor by both the Palestinian and Israeli public. In May 2000, seven years after the Oslo Accords and five months before the start of the al-Aqsa Intifada, a survey by the Tami Steinmetz Center for Peace Research at the University of Tel Aviv found that 39% of all Israelis supported the Accords and that 32% believed that the Accords would result in peace in the next few years.[19] By contrast, the May 2004 survey found that 26% of all Israelis supported the Accords and 18% believed that the Accords would result in peace in the next few years.
In December 2010, a report in al-Quds al-Arabi (an independent pan-Arab daily newspaper owned and published by Palestinian expatriates in London since 1989) asserted that the Palestinian Authority no longer regards itself as being bound by the Oslo Accords[citation needed]; however, as of June 2011, the PA has not made any official declaration to that effect.

Volvo Bus Latin America has recently sold 688 bus chassis to the capitol of Colômbia, Bogotá. It's the company's largest deal ever in Colômbia. The deal encompasses chassis for conventional buses as well as articulated and biarticulated buses.
Easier boarding, shorter journey time and a more comfortable trip. As the city bus of the future undergoes testing in Göteborg, passenger wishes are in firm focus.

Kids will be very involved in the annual Surrey Remembers event in Cloverdale on Sunday, Nov. 11.
The Remembrance Day gathering at the plaza outside Surrey Museum runs from 9: 30 a.m. to 12: 30 p.m. Surrey residents are invited to bring their families to the service at the cenotaph, then come in from the cold to the museum and/or Surrey Archives building and take part in activities.
Indoors, children can make "peaceful crafts," such as tissue paper poppies and thankful tree artwork, to commemorate the day, or write thank-you notes on post cards that will be delivered to Lower Mainland veterans and their families.
Also, families can view Second World War documentary videos in the museum's theatre, or watch demonstrations of weaving and spinning in the textile studio. It's a chance to "see a heritage loom used to rehabilitate veterans and try your hand at weaving on the museum's table loom."
Or enjoy a warm beverage while viewing Remembrance Day projects from a Grade 2 Cloverdale Traditional School class.
A large number of families attend the Remembrance Day ceremony every year, including kids of all ages. "Parents seem to want that kind of meaningful experience for their kids around this date," an organizer of the event told the Now.
Also at the museum, from noon to 1 p.m., join local author Robert Mackay in the museum's theatre for "Soldier of the Horse" and learn about Surrey's connections to the First World War Canadian cavalry, and the importance of horses during the war. This lecture is by donation and is suitable for all ages.
Across the plaza at Surrey Archives, warm up with refreshments downstairs, then come up to the reference room to see wartime newspapers, documents, photographs, a slideshow on Surrey's participation in the World Wars and listen to the Veterans' Oral History Collection.
Admission to this event is by donation. Surrey Museum is located at 17710 56A Ave. Admission to the museum in 2012 is sponsored by the Friends of the Surrey Museum Society. For more information, call 604-592-6956 or visit www.surrey. ca/heritage.

Town selling
vacant home for $1
ST. JOHNSBURY A Vermont town is planning to sell a dilapidated vacant house for $1 so it can be demolished and a new house built on the site.
The town of St. Johnsbury acquired the St. Mary Street property after it failed to sell at a tax sale.
The Burlington-based Vermont Housing Finance Agency offered to buy the property, demolish the house, build an affordable single family house, and sell it.
The Caledonian-Record reported that the selectmen unanimously supported the proposal with the stipulation the agency must construct the new home within three years.
Select Board Chairman Kevin Oddy said the program is a viable way for the community to add to its tax roll and erase an eyesore.MORE IN This Just InMore debate over new town office/gym.

Quote:In a law suit largely ignored by the corporate media that had political ramifications far beyond charges of defamation, Daniel Parisi, a website operator who claimed that Larry Sinclair, author of a book that alleges that President Obama had engaged twice in homosexual trysts, had libeled Parisi, has voluntarily dismissed all charges against Sinclair; his publisher, Sinclair publishing; Jeff Rense, a radio show host who wrote the foreword to Sinclair's book; and Sinclair's book distributors, Ingram Content Group and Lightning Sources, Inc. The request for dismissal of the complaint against Sinclair and his publishing arm was made to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and the request for dismissal of the complaints against Rense and the distributors was made to both the U.S. Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for D.C. The decision effectively ends an appeal process by Parisi; his websites Whitehouse.com, Whitehouse Networks Inc, and Whitehouse Networks; and his Patton Boggs attorneys of the February 28, 2012, decision of U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Richard Leon dismissing the case against Sinclair, Rense, Sinclair's book sellers, and his book distributors. Had the appeals process continued, oral arguments would have been scheduled for September and October of this year, a few weeks before the presidential election.
[quote='Astrochik' pid='3189977' dateline='1334506157'] they decided to sue but then realized that the case would be coming in right before elections!! so they had it dismissed... If this starts getting mainstream attention, the WH and its pawns will simply dismiss it as a "fringe" story, or some other such nonsense. Anything to keep it out of the media before election time... Either that, or someone connected to the WH saw some undeniable proof that the encounters did actually occur. You can't claim defamation of character if the deed was actually committed.

Nearly all my life I have been covering drag racing but never have I covered near as many events as I did in 2011. With that said lets jump right into the second to last "Best of 2011″ blog with my best drag racing photos of 2011.
Another weekend, another NHRA race, this time at Atlanta Dragway, one of the few remaining NHRA tracks I had not yet been to. Luckily for me the track was like all the other ones where it was a straight line with a starting line and a finish line so I was pretty confident I would be able to figure it out…

PublicationsInternational Activity Report 2001Earthquake: El Salvador, India, and PeruMSF Responds to Physical and Psychological Needs in All Three Countries
On January 13, 2001, a major earthquake struck El Salvador. Two weeks later, a massive quake leveled entire villages in the Indian state of Gujarat. A few days after this, the earth moved again in El Salvador. In June, an earthquake rocked southern Peru. With ongoing programs in all three countries before the disasters, MSF responded in each case with massive emergency aid, including medical care, supply of relief items, and psychological support. El SalvadorAfter the first quake hit the western coast of El Salvador, MSF volunteers in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, and Colombia made their way to the region of the disaster. Within seven days, there were more than 53 MSF aid workers on the ground, a number that swelled to 85 after the second earthquake. Initially, MSF trained its efforts on the two main hospitals in San Salvador, both of them damaged. MSF provided medicine and medical supplies. In rural areas most affected by the tremors, MSF provided medical care, including first aid, surgery, and psychosocial attention. Tents and sanitation services were provided for those left homeless. IndiaIn India, the area near the epicenter—the city of Bhuj in the northeastern state of Gujarat—had suffered massive damage and casualties, and villages to the north and east were almost entirely destroyed. More than 20,000 people lost their lives in the January 26 quake. The initial priority was medical care for survivors. Because most health care facilities had collapsed, MSF set up mobile medical teams to assist the population. The greatest need, however, was tents to shelter entire families from the cold weather. MSF undertook a massive fly-in of relief items, bringing in 20,000 tents and 1,000 tons of supplies including clean water, blankets, plastic sheeting, and sanitation equipment. Nearly 20 volunteers took part in the relief operation. MSF orchestrated daily distributions by truck, organizing with local leaders and sometimes with families themselves, ultimately assisting over 100,000 people. PeruOn June 23, an earthquake hit Peru. Relief efforts focused on impoverished rural areas in the south, most severely affected by the earthquake. A steady stream of aftershocks kept people living in fear, while cold weather compounded the risk of health problems. At the height of the emergency, 16 volunteers helped provide medical care, shelter, and basic relief. Psychological Support is EssentialThe earthquakes in El Salvador, India, and Peru prompted comprehensive psychological aid to the affected populations, in addition to medical and relief assistance. In Bhuj, the extensive number of casualties meant that almost every family had experienced a personal loss. An increase in anxiety, depression, and anger was quickly detected among the survivors. MSF trained local nurses, teachers, and social workers to help trauma victims cope with the emotional effects of the quake. Far away in El Salvador, people were experiencing the same loss and its emotional fallout. Near San Salvador, the capital, over 10,000 people displaced by the quake gathered in El Cafetalon, a sports center. A team of five MSF psychologists and one psychiatrist offered daily consultations, in the immediate aftermath of the quake reaching more than 100 adults and 300 children each day. Trauma was so widespread after the country's second earthquake that MSF broadcast messages on radio stations to educate people about the symptoms of traumatic stress and ways to help them cope. In Peru's Camana province, a seaside area affected not just by the quake but by a tsunami (tidal wave) that immediately followed it, MSF ran workshops in a camp for the displaced to raise awareness of the symptoms of psychological trauma. Psychologists provided consultations and also assisted their Peruvian counterparts. Non-traditional approaches to psychological support were also used, for example identifying camp residents' individual skills, such as bread making or carpentry, and encouraging them to use their abilities to help their neighbors. |

Child sexual exploitation is a form of abuse which involves children (male and female, of different ethnic origins and of different ages) receiving something in exchange for sexual activity. Perpetrators of sexual exploitation are found in all parts of the country and are not restricted to particular ethnic groups.
The national action plan for tackling child sexual exploitation, published on 23 November 2011, brought together actions by the Government and a range of national and local partners to protect children from this largely hidden form of child abuse.
The action plan looks at sexual exploitation from the perspective of the child. It highlights areas where more needs to be done, and sets out specific action that the Government, local agencies, and voluntary and community sector partners need to take, to address this abuse.
On 3 July 2012, the Government issued the first report on progress, along with a new step-by-step guide on what frontline practitioners should do if they suspect a child is being sexually exploited. The guide complements, and should be read in conjunction with, the Safeguarding children and young people from sexual exploitation statutory guidance, published in 2009.
The Government also announced, through a written ministerial statement, urgent action to help protect young people in residential care following two reports: the Office of the Children's Commissioner's early report on emerging findings from the inquiry into child sexual exploitation in gangs and groups; and the report from the joint inquiry into children who go missing from care, issued by the All Party Parliamentary Groups for Runaway and Missing Children, and for Looked After Children and Care Leavers. Details of the action being taken in response to the reports were set out in ministerial letters to Sue Berelowitz and Ann Coffey MP which were also published on 3 July.
At the same time, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Children and Families wrote to Local Safeguarding Children Board chairs and local authority directors of children's services, seeking their continued support in tackling child sexual exploitation.
On 21 November 2012, the Office of the Children's Commissioner published an interim report from its two-year inquiry into child sexual exploitation in gangs and groups.
On 18 January 2013, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Children and Families wrote to the Deputy Children's Commissioner outlining the Government's response to recommendations in the report.
Forward look
- Report from the Home Affairs Select Committee inquiry on localised child grooming (date to be confirmed).
- Final report from the Office of the Children's Commissioner's inquiry into child sexual exploitation in gangs and groups due in the autumn.
- See the National Working Group website for further information on forthcoming events.

Firefighters were called out to house fire in Piney Flats Monday morning.
We had a crew on the scene as firefighters worked to put out the flames at a home along Johnson Drive.
Crews told us they got the call around 11:45 a.m. from a driver passing through the area, and when they got there, firefighters said the home was already fully involved, but no one was hurt.
"No one was home at the time, but it seems as if there was a small dog in the house that we've yet to locate," said Todd Justice, chief of the Piney Flats Volunteer Fire Department.
We're told the house is a total loss.
Justice told News 5 outdoor Christmas lights could possibly have started that fire.

Celtic coach Alan Thompson has called on referees to show more consistency after his side exited the Scottish Cup in controversial fashion following a 2-1 semi-final defeat to Hearts at Hampden.
The Scottish champions trailed Hearts, who took the lead through a 47th-minute Rudi Skacel goal, until Gary Hooper headed in an 86th-minute equaliser.
However, with extra time looming, Hearts were awarded a 90th-minute penalty when Marius Zaliukas' shot struck Joe Ledley on the arm in the box from close range.
Former Celtic striker Craig Beattie stepped up to drill the ball past Fraser Forster to fire Hearts ahead, but controversy erupted when the Hoops were denied an identical penalty claim in stoppage time when Andy Webster appeared to handle.
The decision led a visibly furious Neil Lennon to run on to the pitch at the fulltime whistle to confront the referee and his assistants.
In a bid to avoid further controversy the Celtic manager, who is already facing Scottish Football Association charges relating to comments he made about match officials following Celtic's League Cup final and Old Firm derby defeats in March, sent Thompson to the post-match press conference in his place.
And the Celtic first team coach said his side were furious at both penalty decisions.
"I think they are very similar and if he gives one at one end then he has to give the one at the other end," Thompson said.
"Yes, they have struck their hands but was it deliberate in both instances? No, I don't think it was. It's just inconsistency. If he gives one then he has to really go up the other end and give the other one but he doesn't.
"We are all angry. We have just lost the semi-final of a cup with 92 minutes on the clock; it's frustrating.
"Whatever penalty you talk about, whether he is right or wrong, he just has to be consistent with it. That's all I am going to say about it."
The result is in marked contrast with last weekend when the Hoops hammered Kilmarnock 6-0 to clinch their first Scottish Premier League title in four years with five games remaining.
However, Thompson refused to blame a hangover from their title celebrations for the defeat and denied Celtic couldn't handle big occasions after also losing out to Kilmarnock in March's League Cup final.
"Not at all. We have had a great week's training and I thought they were up for it today but things have gone against us," Thompson said.
"We are not disappointed with the way they have played in the League Cup final and we are not disappointed at the way we have played today.
"We have not played to the heights we have reached previously in the season but semi-finals and finals are tight occasions. We are more than happy with the way we have played but we haven't scored enough goals in them.
"They quite possibly deserve more from their season but the league title is all they are going to get. But they deserve it and are worthy champions."
Hearts' win sets up the first all-Edinburgh final since 1896 after Hibernian defeated Aberdeen 2-1 in Saturday's other semi-final.

Los Angeles Kings Win First Stanley Cup In Franchise History
Wayne Gretzky, Luc Robitaille, Rob Blake, Marty McSorley; just a few names in a long list of hockey greats that have played for the Los Angeles Kings since their foundation in 1967. With that all-star line up in the archives of basically every Kings record in the books, you'd think the franchise would have a sea of Stanley Cup banners hanging from the rafters of the Staples Center. If you were to ask any Kings fan, they'd tell you the same; it was about time to bring the Stanley Cup to Los Angeles. Kings fans were finally rewarded for their patience this season as their team secured the most coveted prize in all of hockey. Beating the New Jersey Devils in six games, the Los Angeles Kings became the 2011-2012 Stanley Cup Champions.
O Save #2: Los Angeles Kings Hockey Star Drew Doughty's O Visor Blocks Puck
It's a phrase that every hockey player should know: Use protection. And Drew Doughty is already the second NHL star, this year alone, to get the point reinforced…big time. The Los Angeles Kings star was smacked by a shot by James Neal of the Pittsburgh Penguins to the face recently (early November). But of course, the supreme performance and protection technologies employed by Oakley's unrivaled Hockey Visor saved the day…and his eye.
O With the Save! Anaheim Ducks Hockey Star Francois Beauchemin's Eye Saved By Oakley Hockey Visor
The heart and soul of the Oakley brand: Its athletes. The performance and safety of the Oakley family are the reason for the company's unmatched, patented technologies in eyewear and gear. Exhibit O: NHL Star Francois Beauchemin of the Anaheim Ducks. During a recent match against the San Jose Sharks, Defenseman Dan Boyle's third-period shot beamed straight at Fracois' face, hitting him right above the eye at close to 90 mph. But there was one thing standing between his face and the ultra-dangerous puck. His Oakley Hockey visor.

One of the first things Prokhorov did he and FCE agreed on the sale was sit down with Jay-Z and make sure he was on board. Here's a recent quote by Jay-Z:
http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.c...ext-season.phpI sat down and [Prokhorov and I] had a fantastic conversation. There were things that I wanted to really make clear. I wanted to be an active owner. This is something that I really care about, and its not just a name cache for me and at it certainly isnt at this specific moment making me any money. Its really just a thing I love. And you know me, I love sports so everybody was happy with what I was saying. It looks like Ill be taking a more active role in whats going on and it should be fun. Jay-Z (NBC Sports)
All players come with risks. Wall's about as much of a sure thing as they come.
I would take Noah ahead of Lee on that team. He's obviously not the same scorer, but he is a much, much better defender and a significantly better rebounder..Originally Posted by Hellsing

Just watching Knick games, Lee always has outrageously high amount of rebounds.
The last couple of years there have been very few (Howard) that have averaged more rebounds.
Forget it I found the stats.
Lee: 4.5, 10.4, 8.9, 11.7, 11.7 Career: 9.6
Noah: 5.6, 7.6, 11.0 Career: 7.9
How is Noah "significantly" better?
Noah > Lee
Lee is good don't get me wrong, but Noah just flat out wants it more than anybody else in the league.

Womp Womp5 Reasons Lebron will go to the Nets: http://dimemag.com/2010/05/5-reasons...w-jersey-nets/
1. John Wall: The first step to LeBron's path to the Nets happens tonight in lovely Secaucus, N.J. The Nets will show up to the NBA Draft Lottery and most likely walk away with the No. 1 overall pick, which, for this team, would almost certainly be John Wall.
Do not discount what Wall would mean to LeBron. In non-All-Star or Team USA settings, can you think of the best point guards James has played with in Cleveland? Mo Williams is far and away the best point guard employed by the Cavs since LeBron came into the League. And while Mo is nice, they're not exactly reserving a space for him in Springfield. After Mo, it's grim; the best runners up are Eric Snow and Jeff McInnis. Seriously. The only other PG draw in this free agent situation is Derrick Rose and Chicago, but in the grand scheme of things, the Nets scenario with Wall is much more appealing.
Haha, your fault for reading Dime!

My stance has always been that neither team would get LeBron =/Originally Posted by Yankees1962
Hard to argue with good old fashioned money. If he signs Dolan is a genius(can't believe I would even suggest this. *vomits*).
Going back to thinking about what we should do if we strike out on free agents, I think we should revisit the potential David Lee for OJ Mayo trade that fell through. I think David would go there if they're willing to pay him and in D'Antoni's system with more touches I think Mayo could become a Brandon Roy type player. That also greatly increases the chances that Melo signs next offseason since they go way back and are very close.
They already have Kevin Love and Al Jefferson. Why do they want another PF? It doesn't make sense. And if they really want another PF, Al Jefferson or Kevin Love will be the one who will be traded, not Mayo. They can also fill their need through draft.Originally Posted by cyhughes22
OJ Mayo plays for the Grizzlies. Kevin Love and Al Jefferson play for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves have absolutely nothing to do with any of this. The Grizzlies don't want to pay Zach Randolph the max so David Lee makes perfect sense for them and they had a deal in place but Lee said he wouldn't re-sign with them if he was traded there. Then he said he would sign with them after it fell through.Originally Posted by kan_t

The NBA really does not want the Knicks to be relevant for the next decade:
http://www.newsday.com/sports/basket...bron-1.1929237.As per NBA spokesman Michael Bass regarding our earlier blog post and the report by Forbes Magazine national editor Michael Ozanian:
"Ownership of shares in MSG in a situation such as this would constitute Salary Cap circumvention."
If a player wants to invest in his team, what is the big deal? And I also don't see how it violates the CBA, considering MSG is a publicly traded company. LBJ should be free to invest his money however he feels, and that includes making a **** ton off of coming to the Knicks.
92% of people copy and paste their signature from someone else. If you are part of the 8% who don't, then copy and paste this into your signature.
Because if a team only has $8M cap space, the team can offer a MAX FA $8M and shares for the compensation about the salary difference. That's how I see it.Originally Posted by machphantom
It's a load of crap and it reeks of David Stern and his god complex. The fact is that they cannot stop Lebron from investing in anything publicly traded and if they tried to in any way block a transaction such as Lebron signing because they claim it violated the CBA they'd almost certainly wind up in a courtroom taking an L and wiping some egg off of their face. The CBA does not have anything in it referring to publicly traded stock so there's not a damn thing they could do about it. The only people who could have any say in it at all would be the SEC and that's easily solved by getting an intermediary to purchase the stock. The league needs to realize that it can't just make sh*t up as it goes along. If it isn't in the CBA you can't enforce it.Originally Posted by machphantom
I think if Tupac is dead he's rolling over in his grave...laughing.
So according to this Post article Jay Z holds a lot of sway with LeBron and might convince him to come to the Knicks for 3 years and then opt out to join the Nets after they move to Brooklyn.
My gut still tells me he stays in Cleveland.
We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are.
It is never too late to be what you might have been.
I dont see anyway he stays in Cleveland. He'd be stupid to. Their FO hasnt shown its been capable of building a title team around him. Im not saying he's def coming to NY....but I'd be shocked if he stays and puts his trust in Danny Ferry and the Cavs FO.Originally Posted by JfromJersey
