As much as my body wanted to stay warm in bed, I forced myself to get up to capture the sunrise in the Cai Rang River.
But more than the sunrise what caught my attention the most were the locals walking and biking on the rocky and rough road outside Minh's home.
It was a Saturday and yet, kids were going to school in bikes. Minh offered to show me the local market and the school. Both were just a few meters away from their home.
He pointed the bike which I can use but then I hesitated. It's been decades since I rode a bike. My fear of falling and getting bruised prevented me from riding the bike. I politely declined. He then hopped on his motorbike and offered the ride.
I felt so lucky to be guided by a local of Cai Rang. About 10 minutes away from his home, I saw how the Vietnamese in Cai Rang spent their Saturday.
Kids clad in their uniform and slippers were running and roaming around their school. It did not look like a regular school day but more of a clean-up day.
After a few minutes, my feet brought me out of the school and into the local market. I started shooting and noticed the exotic goods that they were selling. One lady was selling a slimy gliding creature, which looked like a snake but later on, Minh told me that they were eels.
The Public Market of Cai Rang was no stranger to floods like what some places in the Philippines experience.
There were so many stories in the local market. It gave me a preview of the locals' lives. Indeed, I was enjoying every moment of it.
Minh introduced his friend who has a cute chubby baby named Thiem but his nickname was Schumong because he's big and heavy. They allowed me to hold the baby and have my photo taken with him.
I checked my watch. It's time to return to his house for breakfast. My parents and I said our farewells to Minh's family aboard their motor boat and off we go to the boat station in Can Tho City.

Assassination (Forensic Science)
Even a brief look at the history of assassination suggests the important role forensic science could have played in providing objective information as to cause of death in various assassinations. In ancient times, many assassinations were committed at very short range, as were many other murders. Victims were stabbed, strangled, or clubbed to death, and often the assassins, like other murderers, were quickly identified and apprehended. Philip II of Macedonia (382-336 b.c.e.) and Julius Caesar (100-44 b.c.e.) are only two of a long list of political leaders assassinated in ancient times.
Given the likely apprehension of assassins who used such short-range killing techniques as stabbing or strangling, poisoning became a widely used alternative. Although it required that the assassin gain immediate access to the target, poisoning constituted a much less obvious attack, and proving that someone had been poisoned was difficult after the fact. In the cases of such assassinations, better forensic science would have been helpful in the apprehension of the perpetrators. In modern times, the facts revealed through forensic science in the poisoning deaths of Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov (poisoned with ricin) in 1978 and Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko (poisoned with polonium 210) in 2006 pointed to the killers, implicating, in both cases, the secret police forces in Russia (under communist rule in 1978 and under the more "democratic"...

American Assassinations (Forensic Science)
The importance and the limitations of forensic science in the investigation of assassinations are clear in the modern era and in the United States, where law-enforcement resources make exhaustive investigations possible. In the cases of the assassinations of U.S. presidents James A. Garfield and William McKinley, in 1881 and 1901, respectively, the role of forensic science was small, as both were shot at close range by individuals who were captured immediately. The fact that the assassins of both presidents were obviously deranged obscured the political aspects of these events, but the questions raised by these assassinations later motivated attempts to use forensic psychology to construct profiles of persons who become assassins.
In the case of President Abraham Lincoln, dozens of spectators saw John Wilkes Booth, a well-known actor, leap from the president's box at Ford's Theatre after Booth fired the fatal shot. Better forensic science than was available in 1865 could have been helpful in resolving another aspect of the case, however. Booth escaped from the theater and from Washington, D.C., despite having injured his leg when he jumped from the president's box. Law-enforcement officials pursued Booth and eventually cornered him—or at least a person they believed to be him—in a barn in Virginia. Before they could take Booth into custody, the barn burned down, presumably with Booth inside. Although a...

Uses and Limitations of Forensic Science (Forensic Science)
Three major assassinations in recent American history provide ample examples of the uses of a wide variety of forensic scientific techniques in attempts to find objective evidence about these crimes. In the 1968 assassinations of the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, the purported assassins (James Earl Ray and Sirhan Sirhan, respectively) were apprehended, convicted of the crimes, and sentenced to imprisonment for life. A preponderance of the forensic evidence in each case clearly supports the conclusion that the accused man was involved in the assassination—probably by actually pulling the trigger. However, the forensic evidence available so far cannot reveal whether anyone else might have been involved in either case. Both Ray and Sirhan denied their guilt and sought new trials. Ray died in 1998 without achieving his goal of a new trial, and Sirhan has had no success in gaining a retrial.
In the case of James Earl Ray, the heart of the issue turned on Ray's contention that he was set up as a fall guy by other conspirators who have never been found. Ray was the principal witness to the existence of any conspirators. Sirhan's case is more complicated, as he clearly fired a gun in the direction of Senator Kennedy and was seized at the scene. Some conspiracy theorists, however, question whether any of the shots Sirhan fired at Kennedy actually struck him. They argue...

Assassination (West's Encyclopedia of American Law)
Murder committed by a perpetrator without the personal provocation of the victim, who is usually a government official.
First used in medieval times to describe the murders of prominent Christians by the Hashshashin, a secret Islamic sect, the word assassination is used in the twenty-first century to describe murders committed for political reasons, especially against government officials. Assassination may be used as a political weapon by a state as well as by an individual; it may be directed at the establishment or used by it.
The term assassination is generally applied only to political murdersn the United States, most commonly to attempts on the life of the president. However, the classification of any one incident as an assassination may be in part a matter of perception. The "assassination" of the outlaw Jesse James, in 1882, provides an example of the difficulties. Thomas T. Crittenden, governor of Missouri, assumed that being seen as responsible for the death of the notorious outlaw would be good for his political career. For this reason, Crittenden granted each of the killers a pardon in addition to a $10,000 reward. But the American public spoke vehemently against James's killers, dubbing them assassins and his death an assassination. Crittenden was vilified by the American people, and his political career was destroyed.

Assassination (Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity)
Assassination is commonly defined as "political murder." While it is not necessary that the victim of an assassination be a political leader, assassinations are generally killings that target specific individuals for a political purpose, and are often accomplished by means of surprise or treachery. When ordered by a state against leaders of a foreign state, assassinations generally violate international law.
The word assassination first appeared in English in the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare. However, the root of the word, assassin, is much older. It originally comes from the Arabic word hashshashin, which means "eaters of hashish." This Arabic meaning derives from a certain Islamic sect whose members were known for murdering their political opponents after ingesting the drug hashish.
International law distinguishes between state-sponsored assassination and assassination that is not state-sponsored. When an assassination is committed by a group that is not affiliated with a government or by an individual acting alone, it is not state-sponsored. There have been many well-known assassinations of this type throughout history. For example, the Roman general and statesman Julius Caesar was assassinated by a group of conspirators in the Roman Senate in 44 BCE. The American Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy were also assassinated by individuals who were not acting on behalf of any state, as was the civil rights leader Martin Luther King, whose killer was an escaped convict. Another example of this type of assassination is the murder of Egyptian president Anwar al-Sadat, who was assassinated by Islamic extremists in his own army, while he was reviewing a military parade in 1981.
Assassinations that are not sponsored by states are usually treated as murders in the countries where they occur. Because no state is responsible, they usually do not violate international law. Except in the case of international criminal law, only states can be held responsible for violating international law.
State-Sponsored Assassination
Under most circumstances, international law prohibits state-sponsored assassination. The United Nations Charter prohibits the aggressive use of force by one state against another. The Charter also prohibits interfering in the territory or affairs of another state. Chapter I of the Charter requires that all states must "settle their international disputes by peaceful means" and must "refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force". When a state sponsors the assassination of the leader of another state, it violates this basic rule of international law.
However, there are two important exceptions to this rule. First, state-sponsored "targeted killings" may sometimes be legal during times of war. Under the law of war, two states that are at war with each other may kill soldiers in the opposing army. The killing of enemy soldiers is not considered illegal assassination because during a war soldiers are said to have a legal "privilege" to kill their enemies. This privilege extends to military leaders, who are often considered fair game as "command-and-control" targets. In some cases, government officials may be fair targets if they are part of the military chain of command.
However, even during times of war a "targeted killing" can only be legal if it does not violate the law of war. A state that uses "treachery" to kill an enemy may be guilty of war crimes. Article 23 of the Hague Convention IV of 1907 provides that "it is especially forbidden . . . to kill or wound treacherously, individuals belonging to the hostile nation or army." Treachery is usually defined as a breach of confidence, such as an attack on an individual who believes that there is no need to fear the attacker. Examples of treachery include attacking while pretending to seek a truce or surrender, attacking while pretending to be injured or sick, or attacking while pretending to be a non-combatant civilian. However, the mere act of surprising an enemy or failing to meet the enemy face-to-face is not enough to constitute treachery. Treacherous assassinations are illegal under the law of war.
The second exception to the general prohibition against state-sponsored assassination is the exception for self-defense. Article 51 of the United Nations Charter grants states an "inherent right" to self-defense if an armed attack against them occurs. If assassination is used as self-defense it may be legal under international law. The self-defense exception does not require that the state be at war, but the assassination must meet the definition of a legitimate act of self-defense.
There are three main requirements for a legitimate act of self-defense. First, self-defense may only be used when the threat of aggression is imminent. This means that defensive force may only be used to defend against an act of aggression that is occurring or is about to occur. Second, force must be necessary in order to defend against the aggression. If there is any other way to defend against the threat, such as a diplomatic solution, it must be used first. Third, the defensive response must be proportionate to the threatened aggression. A state may not use more force than necessary to defend against the threat. Any extra force would be considered an illegal reprisal, and not a legal act of self-defense. Under these criteria, an assassination must be designed to defend against an immediate threat of aggression to be considered a legitimate form of self-defense. The assassination must be the only way to defend against the aggression. Furthermore, the assassination may not be used for reprisals against an attack that has already occurred.
Scholars have debated whether the right to self-defense permits the use of assassination to prevent or deter future attacks. This is generally called "anticipatory self-defense." The more restrictive view is that assassination can only be legal when used to defend against a specific attack that is occurring or is about to occur. Others argue that terrorism and weapons of mass destruction have created a new environment, in which states must be allowed to defend themselves by any means necessary, even before an attack has begun. Israel has frequently used assassination as a kind of anticipatory self-defense. In 1988 its agents killed Abu Jihad, the head of military strategy for the Palestinian Liberation Organization. In 1992 an Israeli helicopter gunship killed Sheik Abbas Musawi, the leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement. In 2004 an Israeli missile killed the spiritual leader of Hamas, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. Israel has argued that these killings are necessary to prevent future terrorist attacks, but many international observers view them as reprisals for past acts and, therefore, as illegitimate forms of self-defense.
U.S. Law on State-Sponsored Assassination
The U.S. position on assassination has changed over time. As of the early twenty-first century, U.S. law prohibited the use of assassination. However, although assassination has been prohibited by the U.S. army as a technique of warfare since the Civil War, there have been periods where assassination has been used as an instrument of foreign policy. For example, during the cold war the CIA attempted to assassinate a number of foreign leaders who were thought to be sympathetic to communism. These assassination plots were made public in 1975. A congressional committee lead by Senator Frank Church found that successive U.S. presidents had authorized plans to assassinate five foreign leaders during the 1960s and early 1970s. The targeted leaders included Chilean President Salvador Allende and Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, against whom eight unsuccessful assassination plots were authorized.
The Church Committee made clear its disapproval of these tactics and concluded that: "short of war, assassination is incompatible with American principles, international order, and morality. It should be rejected as a tool of foreign policy." The Committee recommended that Congress pass a law to make assassination illegal. Congress, however, has never passed such a law. Instead, U.S. policy on assassination has been governed by a series of Executive Orders, beginning in 1976. These orders have prohibited employees of the United States from engaging in assassination during peacetime, but have not defined the exact meaning of assassination. The absence of a precise definition has given U.S. Presidents leeway to order missions that some observers have viewed as assassination attempts.
For example, in the 1980s and 1990s, the U.S. launched several military attacks that were most likely designed to kill specific individuals. In 1986, the Reagan administration launched air strikes against Libya and targeted the army barracks where Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi was known to be sleeping. In 1998, in retaliation for the al-Qaeda attacks on U.S. embassies in East Africa, the Clinton administration launched cruise missiles against a training camp in Afghanistan with the hope of killing Osama bin Laden.
International Criminal Responsibility
Assassination is generally considered a violation of the international law against treachery in war or aggression in times of peace. In addition, it is possible, although less likely, that individuals or groups of individuals accused of assassination could be held accountable for committing genocide or crimes against humanity.
An assassination could rise to the level of a crime against humanity only if it was part of a systematic or widespread pattern of attacks against a civilian population. There would have to be a pattern of "extra-judicial killing" of civilians, of which the assassination formed one part. In general, assassinations do not fit this definition because they often occur as single isolated events and involve treachery, often against quasi-military targets, rather than systematic or widespread attacks against civilians.
An assassination could constitute genocide only if the killing was committed with the intention of destroying a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group in part or as a whole. Because assassinations generally target specific individuals for political purposes, they would not often meet this requirement. However, if an assassination that targeted a particular individual was a part of a broader plan to destroy the individual's entire group, it could be viewed as part of a genocide. This might have been the case during the early stages of the Rwandan genocide, when groups of Hutu used written lists to search out and murder specific Tutsi political leaders.

Assassination (World of Forensic Science)
Assassination is a sudden, usually unexpected, act of murder, typically with a political or military leader as its target. The practice of assassination goes back to ancient times, and extends into the present day. Assassinations have occurred throughout history, in places all over the globe. At one time, the most widely used tool for assassination was a knife or dagger. Modern day assassinations more often use guns, bombs, poisons, and biological agents such as toxins.
In the United States, the President has been a frequent target. In 1865 Abraham Lincoln became the first American president killed by an assassin's bullet, followed by James A. Garfield in 1881, William McKinley in 1901, and John F. Kennedy in 1963. Unsuccessful attempts were made on Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S Truman, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan.
The assassination of Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand in 1914 precipitated World War I, and, 30 years later, the attempted assassination of Adolf Hitler by his generals very nearly ended World War II. In India, not only Mohandas K. Gandhi in 1948, but Prime Minister Indira Gandhi (no relation) in 1984, and her son and successor, Rajiv Gandhi in 1991, fell victim to assassin's bullets. Leaders in various countries throughout the Middle East have been killed by assassins: King Abdullah of Jordan in 1951, President Anwar Sadat of Eygpt in 1981, and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995 were all victims of assassination. Interestingly, all of these leaders were killed by extremists on their own political side. On the other hand, extremist leaders are as likely as any to become targets of assassins. Senator Huey Long of Louisiana was assassinated in the 1930s and Nation of Islam leader Malcolm X was killed 30 years later. George Lincoln Rockwell, leader of the American Nazi Party, and Pim Fortuyn, founder of a Dutch radical anti-immigrant party, were also slain by assassins.
Targets of assassination are not necessarily national leaders, formal office-holders, or even political leaders. When a Turkish assassin attempted to shoot Pope John Paul II in 1981, it was clearly a political act even though the pope was not a political leader per se. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, both assassinated in 1968, were political leaders, but King held no formal office and Kennedy, although he was a senator and presidential candidate, symbolized a larger cultural atmosphere of optimism and activism. Furthermore, his status as John F. Kennedy's brother added greatly to the symbolic impact of the event.
In the aftermath of any assassination, forensic science may be used to try to determine the method of death and to identify those responsible. Forensic science is not concerned with the aims or the political implications of assassinations. Rather, the battery of tests and skills of the forensic investigators are geared toward deducing how the murder was carried out.
Even in an obvious case of an assassination by means of gunshot, a forensic investigation can possibly identify the firearm that was used. Furthermore, ballistics and gunshot residue studies can be used to implicate a suspect.
Forensic identification techniques for poisonous inorganic compounds and biological agents such as bacterial toxins can be valuable in unraveling the nature of assassinations that involve these harder to detect weapons.

Rain and mountain snow expected across the region tonight through Sunday night.
There's an upper level low pressure system developing off the coast of northern and central California. This system is expected to bring light to moderate amounts of precipitation with snow at rather low elevations (4,000 to 3,500 feet).
Thunderstorms are a possibility on Sunday due to the cold and unstable air.
Rainfall totals for San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties for the next 24 hours are expected to range between one quarter and three quarters of an inch.
An offshore flow will bring drier and slightly warmer weather for Tuesday and Wednesday, but another cool down is in the forecast for late next week.

Bringing a Fiddle to a Menorah Lighting
On the sixth day of the 8-day festival, photographer Nati Shohat took this image of the Dor family in the Jewish village of Bat Ayin in Judea and Samaria. For some reason her decided to include a fiddler in the picture. One of the Dor kids probably said, You know, I play the violin, and the photographer said, Sure, bring it out. So now we have two major Jewish icons competing for our attention: the menorah and the fiddle. Just as they did in the Temple. Except it was a harp, not a fiddle, and the menorah had only seven candles.
It's the end of our second Chanukah in Israel. It was our first holiday, practically off the plane last year. A year ago, we were staying with friends in the town of Tel Mond, not far from Netanya, where we finally settled down.
What a charmed first year it has been. We're so grateful, it's ridiculous. Last night, on the way to our last Chanukah party of the year, in Hertzeliah, I told my wife and daughter: You know something, we haven't watched even one Xmas commercial this year. We haven't seen a single tree or nativity scene, or any of those things. How odd is that.
I don't think I ever minded those expressions of goyeshe culture, I never felt the allure of the Johnsons next door decorating the tree – I grew up here, and we raised our daughter in a fairly Jewish, Lower East Side co-op community, which was more dominated by Jewish symbols than anything else.
But I've felt a sense of psychic comfort not being confronted with Xmas images wherever I turn this year. And walking in sandals to shul in December is a cultural advantage equivalent to making a right turn on red in LA.
It's an Annie Hall reference. ask your elders.

That was a wonderous thing in Israel. No signs of xmas or nre years. However, there was a hell of a private party in one of the hotels restaurant rooms, NY, playing La Bomba. Terrofic!

"First of all this care says "Merry Christmas." Secondly it has room for our pictures. I used the green card as it made a better background color for our photos. It was perfect!"
"I can't begin to say how impressed I was with this card & with the fast service & how well they were packaged! The card cost a little more than box retail stores but it was well worth it. They are sturdy & have more of a feel of an actual card than just a photo. The colors were perfect & looked just like they did on my computer. Thank you for a positive experience! I will shop here again!"
"We personalized it by using a fun loving, energetic, whimsical, picture of our kids. They are older 15 and 24 so we needed something silly and fun, not traditional and stoic. With the simplicity of the message we can use this card for everyone!!!! Plus we were able to add a couple of lines for a message and then 3 more fun pictures on the back! We loved it!"
"Loved having the personalization and was able to put 3 pictures on the back while labeling them. So included the out-takes of the build up pictures prior to our final Christmas picture. It turned out great"
"This was a fabulous find. Tiny Prints had so many amazing designs to choose from, but I selected Hearty Holly because of the saying and picture placement. The photo I used did not lend to certain font colors over top so this was a perfect option as no words overlaid the photo. I particularly loved that I had the option to select from color options and coordinating items like address labels and envelope liners. I would purchase again in a heartbeat. I love that Tiny Prints thinks about he back of the card as well as the front. The fact that the back could be customized as well sold me."

What's good about being a freshmen. There are some up's and some down's. Most of the freshmen teachers are very lenient. When it comes to your work most of them take it when its still overdue. As long a you respect the teachers they will give your the respect back. If you bring in food for Mr. Hein you'll be one of his favorite students.

What do I like and not like about projects? There are few things I like about projects and a couple things I do not like. Depending on what the project is, determines if I would like it or not. The project has to be an interesting one. If the project isn't interesting I'm more then likely not going to do it. What I do like about projects are is there a lot of points you could make. If you don't have the best grade then you have a chance to pull it up. I also like if you do group projects. If you need help more than likely one of the people in your group would be able to help you out. There are a couple of things I like and don't like about projects.

Bob Marley is one of my idols. The binder is black and yellow in the backround. I did the backround black and yellow because my favorite song is black and yellow by Wiz Khalifa. Another picture I have on my binder is a picture of one of my favorite rappers Lil Wayne.

Read More »
Editor's Note: This article is an extended version of "Bugs in the Ice Sheet" from the May 2012 Issue of Scientific American.
BOZEMAN, Mont.—Locked in frozen vaults on Antarctica and Greenland, a lost world of ancient creatures awaits another chance at life. Like a time-capsule from the distant past, the polar ice sheets offer a glimpse of tiny organisms that may have been trapped there longer than modern humans have walked the planet, biding their time until conditions change and set them free again.
With that ice melting at an alarming rate, those conditions could soon be at hand. Masses of bacteria and other microbes – some of which the world hasn't seen since the Middle Pleistocene, a previous period of major climate change about 750,000 years ago – will make their way back into the environment.
Once thought to be too harsh and inhospitable to support any living thing, the ice sheets are now known to be a gigantic reservoir of microbial life. Altogether, the biomass of microbial cells in and beneath the ice sheet may amount to more than 1,000 times that of all the humans on Earth.
Internment in the ice amounts to an evolutionary strategy for microorganisms: preserving genetic blueprints by storing them in deep–freeze for a future re-entry, said John Priscu, a Montana State University professor and pioneer in the study of Antarctic microbiology.
"It's a way of recycling genomes," he said. "You put something on the surface of the ice and a million years later it comes back out."
'Storehouse for genes'
Priscu has spent the past 28 Austral summers on the southernmost continent, studying what he calls "the bugs in the ice sheet." Antarctica has the oldest ice on Earth; parts of its glacial landscape date back about a million years, and some pockets are believed to be up to 8 million years old. "There's a lot of history in that ice sheet," said Priscu.
Much of that history appears to still be alive. Priscu has found living bacteria in cores of 420,000-year-old ice and gotten them to grow in his laboratory. Other researchers report bringing far older bacteria back to life.
The ice allows microbes to enjoy a sort of immortality, preserving ancient genetic material and allowing creatures that have long disappeared from the planet to someday return. "That's what's interesting about the ice – it can serve as a storehouse for those genes," said Jonathan Klassen, an evolutionary biologist and postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. "Things that went extinct have the possibility of coming back."
Could this be Jurassic Park on Ice? Not likely, scientists say. The only things able to survive in these cold, dark, crushed quarters with little to eat or drink are microscopic organisms, and most of what has been found appears related to microbes from other cold and icy environments.
Still, with heat-trapping greenhouse gases warming the polar regions much faster than the rest of the planet today, investigators have many questions about the bugs in the ice sheet. Researchers are trying to determine how these organisms can survive such a brutal habitat, some seeming to sit in what resembles a state of suspended animation for millennia. The findings could point the way for the discovery of life in other extreme climates, such as frozen planets and moons.
Methane emissions
The more immediate concerns sit here on Earth. Cells and carbon dumped out of melting glaciers could turn into huge piles of decomposing organic matter – compost – that generate carbon dioxide and methane as they decay, a potentially significant source of greenhouse gas emissions that climate researchers have yet to consider.

Housing Related Support formerly known as Supporting People, exists to help vulnerable people to live independently in their own homes
Housing Related Support, formerly known as Supporting People, exists to help vulnerable people to live independently in their own homes. It is funded by the government, administered by Northumberland County Council and often provided by social, voluntary or private organisations.
Housing Related Support can help you to maintain your tenancy by helping you:
Whether you qualify for help depends on your financial circumstances and how much you pay for your services.
People receiving short term services (2 years or less) are not charged and support costs are paid for by Northumberland County Council.
If you are receiving long term services (over 2 years) there may be a charge. However, if you are receiving housing benefit your support charges will be paid in full. The payment does not go to you but is paid directly to the organisation providing your support.
Anyone who has slightly too much income to qualify for housing benefit may still qualify for some help depending on their financial circumstances.
The organisation that provides your support should give you the subsidy application form below to apply for help. If you think you may have difficulty in paying the charges, you can also use the form to request financial assessment to confirm whether you are eligible for any financial support. Both you and your support provider should complete and sign the form.
If you circumstances have changed since you first received any support, you need to inform the organisation providing your support that will complete a change of circumstances form.
A Financial Assessment and Benefits Officer will check whether your financial circumstances are already known to Social services, e.g. because you are getting home care services and if not, will contact you to arrange a visit and ask some detailed questions about your finances to work out whether you will qualify for help.
Any charges will be due from the date your support agreement commenced. Any help you get with your charges because of eligibility for Income Support or Pension Credit will be backdated to the start (Monday) of the week of the award of this qualifying benefit.
For further information you need to be put in touch with the service provider (a referral) by one of the statutory organisations such as health and social care services, probation or housing authority. In some cases you can approach a provider yourself (self referral).

Nakheel invited architects to make a concept master plan design for Palm Jebel Ali, just off the coast of Dubai. The winning design submitted by Royal Haskoning and D103 International consists of a surface area of 300,000m² to be used for sports activities, residential housing, a retail sector, and office buildings. In addition, public parks, marinas and an iconic bridge were part of the design brief. The winning design is a joint effort between Royal Haskoning's design teams in Bangkok, Amsterdam and Dubai. Royal Haskoning has been working on various projects in the United Arab Emirates, including Palm Jebel Ali, Palm Jumeirah and The World Island, since 2000. Other activities, such as spatial development, environment, maritime, infrastructure, structural engineering and building services projects are foreseen in the very near future. Royal Haskoning's activities in Dubai and the Middle East are co-ordinated from the company's office in Dubai.

LONDON -- Bikinis, beer, Beach Boys music and Big Ben provide an incongruous setting for beach volleyball in the pouring rain smack in the middle of Horse Guards Parade.
London weather, which is returning to its usual drizzly, chilly pattern, wont deter fun-loving fans or scantily clad players at the 2012 Olympics most boisterous venue, a spot usually reserved for stoic royal guardsmen on obedient horses.
For two weeks, its a beach in the center of this dense city, flanked by historic buildings, the prime ministers offices, Winston Churchills underground war rooms, a statue of Lord Mountbatten and Londons poshest park, St. James.
Even if the skies are gray and the downpours drenching, as they were Sunday, the matches will continue because neither players nor Britons are deterred by the elements.
If its raining, hailing or were freezing our bums off, we carry on, said Julie Meireles, a nurse from Ayr, Scotland.
Her friend, Amy Fitzgerald, a nurse in London, lamented that England hasnt had a proper summer since 2006. Three months of record rainfall preceding the Olympics was followed by a week-long hot spell. Variable weather has returned.
My heart sinks when on a big occasion our weather is bloody awful, like it was for the queens silver jubilee, Meireles said.
The players dont mind. Their tour includes stops in Switzerland, Austria and Finland, and the Finns are known to say that there is no such thing as wrong weather, only the wrong clothing.
The British pair of Zara Dampney and Shauna Mullin wore their red bikinis throughout their 2-1 victory over Canada. When the temperature drops below 68 degrees players are allowed to don crop tops and leggings, but The Sun, a cheeky London tabloid, asked Dampney and Mullin to promise not to cover up in a recent article, so as not to disappoint fans, particularly when the camera zooms onto the hand signals they flash behind their bikini bottoms. A Sun reporter brought a thermometer to the match and the temperature did dip, but the players kept their promise. Mullin, a milky-skinned lass from Scotland, said the wet conditions only affect their hand sets.
Theres been a lot of hype about beach volleyball, she said. People may come for the appearance of the players, but they leave having learned how athletic it is.
Dampney and Mullin played two Montreal natives who grew up skating, sledding, skiing and snowboarding.
Cold? What cold?
Well, the sand was cold, Marie-Andree Lessard said. My feet were frozen. But the ambiance warmed us up.
The venue announcer kept up a constant patter between points and played loud cuts of music, such as Queens We Will Rock You and the Beach Boys I Get Around. During timeouts, a dance crew in swimsuits did the Macarena.
The rain was at its heaviest when the womens cycling road race ended with a sprint finish nearby. Fans opened umbrellas or put plastic shopping bags over their heads. The ball boys and girls toweled off the volleyballs. This is the home of Wimbledon, after all, where tennis was played for more than a century before TV demanded a roof over Centre Court.
Soggy fans werent grumbling. It was a beach party. They were drinking, cheering and drinking. From the upper stands you can see Londons rooftops, clock towers, spires, domes and chimneys and imagine youve got Mary Poppins aerial view.

Like I said when I saw the first footage of this "Exclusive"....Meh.
XBox 360 is the BEST console EVER made. --John Carmack
"youre left with only voice chat to cordinate your team"...this is why modern games are so sad. strangers cant be trusted to communicate sensibly / constructively so no one uses mics. this game kinda makes me wish i had a ps3. like the construction elements.
Game looks awesome, defo gonna get!! Can't believe gamespot is annoyed that a game is challenging them lol
It sounds like he's giving each mode a 8.5/9 then the whole package a 7, which doesn't make sense. The only gripe he has is the jarring change of pace, but each time he says that, he also says, "But once you get the hang of it, it.s a blast, and well worth the trouble" Seriously, WTF? The score doesn't jive with what he's saying.
This video does capture some satisfactory moments giving reason towards buying the game!
Wow why are you talking about the singleplayer soooo much? It is mainly meant for multiplayer
Sometimes I think Gamespot reviewers don't really know how to play videogames...
If you buy a multiplayer focused game and play the single player first you must know...wait what? Who bought Battlefield 3 and played the single player first? Nobody cares about StarHawks single player.
It is bs, getting this soon,the beta was great. The party system sucked though,hope they fixed that
This review is bullshit,Starhwak is very robust game,specially on the multiplayer side.
Wow. .F.LI.C.K. .Y.O.U. Gamespot and your default auto - go to next video system. I just typed a humongous comment and was about to post it when it all got erased because the video ended and it went to the next one...
I think if the game was an x360 exclusive, at least they would give it 8.0.
sometimes friends ideas are more reliable than review scores.
Wow, one reviewer against many gamers! I like the point system on Game Stop. Each aspect of a game is separated. But its primarily rated by gamers that bought the game. The average score is at 8.9 right now. But I will have to just go get it and find out for myself. I would like to know if it has 4 local players online like Warhawk. That was awesome. Wife, 2 kids and myself loved it. Honestly, I am tired of seeing 7.5 for so many games. They should ban the number.
Other sites say the campaign prepares you for the online, this review says differently. I don't get it.
This game is great! If you don't enjoy multiplayer, I think the 7.5 score is reasonable. The online stuff is a lot of fun, runs smooth, and rewards strategy as much as it does skill. 9.0 in my eyes
tacked-on single-player and a multi with a steep learning curve. I might rent for the former, I'll probably pass on the later.
PS3 has few voice chatters and the ones that are there have awful blutooth headsets that pick up and transmit the game noises because there is no push-to-talk button.
I think GS knocked the score down by a full point just because they are mad that they can't buy the game for their Xbox 360s'. If it had come out on both the Xbox 360 and the PS3, I have a feeling their review would have been at least an 8.5, or maybe even a 9.0. Knocking the score down to a 7.5 because the single player campaign didn't prepare him to kick azz in multiplayer is just plain stupid. Of course they are going to have to balance weapons and mobile units differently in a multiplayer facet of the game then they do for the single player side.
The multiplayer is the cream of this game, the single player campaign was just an add on here. To compare this to a 10.0 game on GS, Metal gear Solid 4 got a 10,0 score with a very average sub-par mutliplayer tacked on to it. The single player game is obviously the cream of that game, and a lack luster multiplayer did not hurt it's score.
This score is very unfair, and there are no valid reasons for knocking this games score down a full point below the score that Warhawk got five years ago. Starhawk is superior in every way and deserves at least the same score as its predecessor, if not higher.
Well in my opinion, this guy's review is very...sorry. Since when does any game's singleplayer component ever fully prepare you to play the multiplayer? The singleplayer campaign taught me how everything works and that's it. What the singleplayer campaign doesn't teach you is how NOT to be a dumb*** online. No one ever uses the "instincts you learned in the campaign" online. Why? Because the AI won't act like a human being does. Just because the AI never tried to nade your hawk in campaign doesn't mean you were ill prepared for online. If you die online from something like that, then in my honest opinion, you're just a nooby dumb***. More than likely, GS probably played the whole campaign on the lowest difficulty setting which btw is the default setting and expected the multiplayer to be just as easy. That's basically what I got out of this review. Smh
Don't understand why so many gamers take reviews as law. They're someone else's opinion. They aren't meant to be the final word on a game's quality, just how the person feels about the game, same as if I told you my opinion. The only difference is that its his job. And i know, it takes work to become a journalist, but that doesn't make critics any more insightful to how I personally will enjoy the game. They're still simply stating their opinions.
hey chris its CryPtiC_BullDog love the review and i agree with the whole having to switch how u play its quite jarring
Yeah, I remember learning how to play Capture the Flag multiplayer while playing the single player of every other online game too........................................................................................bum reviewer if you ask me lol! Dude needs a more feminine job.......................................and more time to learn how to game.
@buying1999 Not true. Ive had my original playstation since 1997 and it still work's. Ive gone through 3 xbox 360's in 5 years. Xbox is trash.
@tisoyboy2 Scores should be banned. Watching/reading a review should tell you IF you want to play said game.
@professorXzaver Its ment to be a multiplayer game. a lot of people are getting it because of the awesome multiplayer in warhawk, and i think they added a campaign cuz people complained about how there wasnt any in the last game.
@professorXzaver well mw3 is a 4hour campaign but yet tons but yet tons of people go out and buy it and it is $60
@criticfromhell the reason why we are complaining is because of the stupid reasons why he give the game that score it seems to me he is just making stupid excuses to why he sucks at the game and he lower the score because of that
@brothersof3 Wasnt Jarring on Uncharted 2 apparently..since it got a freaking 10...even though the multiplayer is completely different from the single player experience, and was an obvious add on.
@MaI45g9K they only have halo, gears of war and... that's it lol. just mgs4 will devour all x360 exclusives
@treepop99 I'm gonna have to agree with F U. I was trying to read the comment when I got kicked into the next video. What monkey came up with that horrible idea?
@shadowhunter0 that sounds more like a fanboy complaint to me. I love the game. I love it a lot. But i respect that he has a different opinion. Accusing someone of making excuses for not being good at games is simply juvenile. Do I think the score is off? Yes. But again, its his opinion and I respect that. it doesn't dampen the game for me in the slightest. Besides, he still likes it.
@criticfromhell And thats the problems of reviews here today. They've become alot less objective and become alot more subjective. One person cannot possibly represent the entire appeal of any given game. I mean hell they dont even have a Judgement criteria for their reviews anymore. Points just get docked by whatever the reviewers opinion is. Thats not good journalism. A review should be objective and have a set criteria.

Republican Ben Buehler-Garcia to challenge Councilmember Uhlich in Ward 3 (again)
Tuesday, February 26th, 2013Republican Ben Buehler-Garcia filed a campaign finance Statement of Organization on 2/22/13 to challenge 2 term Councilmember Karin Uhlich in the Ward 3 race.
As a political newcomer he ran against incumbent Democrat Uhlich four years ago in 2009, and lost by 175 votes (33,782 to 33,607). Green party candidate Mary DeCamp got 4,429 votes in that three-way race. Uhlich was first elected in 2005 by defeating Republican incumbent Kathleen Dunbar in Ward 3.
Biography from the candidate:
Ben Buehler-Garcia is a 34 year resident of Tucson and Ward III. He first came to Tucson in order to attend the University of Arizona where he earned a degree in Public Administration with a Criminal Justice minor.
Ben has 25 years professional experience in Economic & Community development, serving 9 years in a management role at the Tucson Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce.
For the last 16 years he has been self-employed, providing Economic & Community Development Planning, Small Business Advocacy and Non-Profit Consulting Services.
A firm believer in volunteerism and community engagement, he has been recognized with the Copper Cactus Award for Community service for his role with organizations such as the United Way, Fox Tucson Theatre Foundation, the Arizona Children's Foundation and the Tucson Community Cares Foundation.
He also volunteered 9 years with the City of Tucson Industrial Development Authority Board of Directors and 2 years as a member of the City of Tucson Economic and Workforce Development Selection Committee. For the past 9 years he has also served as Executive Director of the Stand Up for Kids Tucson Chapter, an all-volunteer organization working with homeless teens and street kids.
2013 campaign goals by Buehler-Garcia on why he is running again:
I have a great passion for our community and it breaks my heart that it has been allowed to drift so far from its true potential.
Things have not improved; Tucson was ranked the 6th poorest large metro area in 2011 and the City of Tucson's most recent stress index states that 29.7% of children in the City live in poverty. More than half of our residential streets are in failing or poor condition. The same study shows that Ward III is ranked highest in the incidence of burglary & domestic violence (My own property has had 6 attempted burglaries and one successful burglary!) The lowest median household income in Tucson is in Ward III.
We have a top research university, a major defense installation & manufacturer, wonderful weather and are located 50 miles from one of our nation's largest trading partners. How is it conceivable that we are not leading the state in economic recovery rather than trailing?
I believe that much of the waste in Rio Nuevo resulted from the lack of professional knowledge and political courage. Budgeting priorities are misplaced.
City Council Wards 3, 5, and 6 are up for re-election this year, and all three Democratic Councilmembers are speaking at Democrats of Greater Tucson (click here for earlier post). No Republican opponents have filed any statements of organization as yet against Councilmembers Fimbres (Ward 5) or Councilmember Kozachik (Ward 6).

Aonegamer*I am looking for one more person to join us - feel free to PM me.
Weekly Topic:
Not Decided yet.
So, we should choose a topic. I am thinking of human anatomy. We should pick some parts of the body, and practice drawing them. Maybe, we should study head to neck , legs to feet, shoulders to hands, and lastly, whole body.
I expect to see at least 10 drawings of our topic.
Let me know what you guys think.
