Tessa grew up with scissors in her hand. Her father's salon was a staple of her Missouri community for 25 years, and there she learned the ins and outs of cutting hair to face shape and blending luxurious color highlights. Today she continues her father's legacy, employing Matrix and American Crew brand products to transform tresses in Genesis Salon. Amid the studio's industrial-inspired décor, she joins four other stylists in crafting contemporary styles designed to work with each client's lifestyle and fashion tastes.
The all-lady team at Shear Madness Hair Salon boasts more than two decades of combined experience working in the beauty industry. The successful salon is based upon one fundamental principle: help every client feel more like him- or herself. The stylists carry out that mission by enhancing hair with cuts, styles, and coloring and providing other aesthetic services, including mani-pedis, waxing, and massages. The salon also houses a lineup of beauty products, enabling clients to finally build that shampoo moat around their house.
Brittney Clements styles and colors hair at De Nouveau Salon, a quaint, cottage-style space located inside the Village Square. Brittney offers cuts, Redken conditioning treatments, and perms as well as mani-pedis and facial waxing.
Halcyon Spa invites visitors to embrace relaxation in a scenic, rustic studio located within a century-old mill. Massage therapists work out tension with soothing kneads, and technicians purify skin with ?minence organic skincare products. If desired, clients can even stay overnight in the spa's bed and breakfast; room packages include sauna access and yoga classes.
Genesis owner Jill Talbot has been busy the last few years. She's attended two Redken symposiums in Las Vegas, bareMinerals training in San Francisco, three Discover shows in St. Louis, and a DevaCurl cutting class in New York City. All this training, and she still considers herself a student.
Continuing education is a huge priority for Jill and her Genesis staff, and it shows in their expertise. Clients can request a sharp scissor cut, custom color, or sleek tapered highlights to flatter their individual features. The salon also offers other beautifying services, such as nailcare and specialty waxes.
If you ask Jodi Hudson the secret to running a successful hair salon, you might find her answer refreshingly simple: hair. Hudson, who spent 15 years teasing 'dos at other froufrou salons full of bells and whistles, decided to focus strictly on haircare when she opened Lakeview Hair Salon in 2004.
The basic goal of taming, nourishing, and shaping hair goes into everything Hudson does at her salon, from assembling a staff of skilled friseurs to stocking the shelves with top-notch products, such as Aquage and Paul Mitchell. And well-rounded haircare means that eyebrow waxing, perms, and bridal updos shaped like hairbrushes are also on the menu.

On August 5, 1994, the world was introduced to The Lone Rangers, a band of heavy-metal misfits who just wanted their band to get heard, via Airheads. Today, the film that seems both improbably quaint (Who would even know where to find a radio station today, much less with the intent of holding it hostage?) and jam-packed with talent turns 20 years old.

After quietly and privately marrying weeks ago, Stanley Tucci and Felicity Blunt belatedly threw a big party this weekend with a formal – and star-studded – wedding in London.
With Steve Buscemi as best man and the bride's sister, actress Emily Blunt, as bridesmaid, the couple walked the aisle Saturday at Middle Temple Hall. The bride wore a Nanette Lepore dress and the groom had a Hugo Boss tux.
Oliver Platt was a groomsman and guests included Emily Blunt's husband John Krasinski, Meryl Streep, Patricia Clarkson, Julianne Moore, Colin Firth and Kenneth Cole.

"Dream big, dream fierce." The real-life ladies of The Help would have agreed with Viola Davis, it's worth it.
Accepting the trophy for female actor in a leading role for the period drama, Davis told the audience gathered at L.A.'s Shrine Exposition Center for Sunday night's Screen Actors Guild Awards: "What is there [in life] but a dream. You can't trade in your dream for another dream. I am so proud to be an actor."
It's an appropriate motto for a cast who were also recognized for their work in the film as an ensemble, the top honor of the night.

As it turns out, Steve Buscemi and Sienna Miller share more than the experiences they had on the set of their new film Interview.

Andrei Lankov: Let North Korea Keep Its Nukes
Andrei Lankov is a professor at Kookmin University in Seoul and the author of several books on North Korea.
...The United States' official stance is unwavering: Its stated goal is the complete, irreversible, and verifiable nuclear disarmament of the North. This position has not changed over the past 20-odd years. In the meantime, the North has successfully tested plutonium devices, conducted a number of long-range missile launches (admittedly not so successful), and started an impressive uranium-enrichment program. We have never been as far from denuclearization as we are today.
This shouldn't be surprising: U.S. policy is hopelessly unrealistic. Under no circumstances will the North Korean government consider relinquishing its hard-won nuclear capabilities. And why should it?
The North's nuclear capability provides a deterrent that ensures that the leadership in Pyongyang won't suffer the sorry fate of Saddam Hussein and Muammar al-Qaddafi. Pyongyang's leaders assume, probably correctly, that the two dictators would still be alive and in power had they developed nuclear weapons. Once upon a time, in interacting with the North Korean dignitaries, Western diplomats would frequently cite Qaddafi's decision to surrender his half-baked nuclear program as a shining example to emulate. North Korean diplomats were not impressed, and they have been proved right....

Over the past several months, the Radiators have received more national and international exposure than at any point since their late-'70s launch -- but the attention has come at a heavy price. The bayou-rock band calls New Orleans home, and after that city was devastated by Hurricane Katrina, reporters sought out folks like bassist Reggie Scanlon, whose quotes subsequently turned up in London's Guardian newspaper and other far-flung publications. In addition, the group was placed on the bill of ReAct Now: Music & Relief, a Katrina benefit, alongside Alicia Keys, Trent Reznor, Maroon 5 and plenty of other big names. (The telethon was broadcast on several major cable networks, including MTV, a channel that wouldn't have spotlighted the Radiators under normal circumstances unless the performers had broken into the studio armed with M16s.) Things have improved slightly since then; the band is scheduled to perform at Tipitina's, one of the Big Easy's most legendary venues, shortly before its batch of local dates. Publicity aside, Scanlon and company undoubtedly prefer such gigs to the sort spurred by catastrophe.

Parkland Hospital Preps for CMS Reassessment
"We're trying to emulate the kind of activities a surveyor would do, such as going out to each unit at all shifts. We have people on our team who will come in Saturday night at 9:00 or early morning hours on a Monday morning," says Urbanowicz.
Board members were generally pleased with October's progress report.
The board also approved a two-month extension of interim Chief Executive Officer, Robert "Bob" Smith's term. Smith is a retired executive from Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare Corp. His original four-month contract will now last for at least six months, with the option to be approved on a monthly basis after February. Smith is Parkland's second interim CEO.
He declined to be a candidate for a permanent CEO, in a recent interview, saying "... it's not something I am interested in. If I were at a younger stage in my career it would be an attractive position."

Some senators didn't want to talk about the issue at all. Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) stared blankly at HuffPost when asked if he wanted to keep filibuster reform, before slipping into an elevator and disappearing. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said she had thoughts on the matter, but didn't want to share them.
"Who do you work for?" Collins asked, as this HuffPost reporter identified herself. "That's what I thought," she replied, turning and walking away.

Local Issues
In the first two debates of the race, Sen. Susan Collins has dodged or flat-out refused to answer several questions on the grounds that they cover state or local issues.
At times it's been uncomfortable to watch, even for a Collins critic: There's something wince-inducing about seeing a seasoned pol summon the mixture of presumption and smugness that it takes to reject out of hand a good faith inquiry from a neutral moderator. One wants to nudge Collins and whisper in her ear that she's making herself look standoffish and might want to tone it down.
But it's clearly a considered choice: Collins's implicit position is that she's running for federal office and so only national issues are germane.
Yet that's an awfully cramped view of what this--or any--Senate race is about, which is part of why the questions keep coming up. And it's frankly surprising that the senior senator has gotten away with this kind of dodge for as long as she has.
Because a US Senate election isn't just about a state sending off an emissary to legislate national issues. It's a statewide community's process for tapping one of its own as a representative in Washington.
By circumscribing a wide array of salient issues as beyond the purview of what she's willing to talk about, Collins sets herself apart from (and above?) that community and the political discussions it's having with itself. She paints herself as an outsider and a conundrum.
Mainers accepted those terms in her last election. But for whatever reason, it's proving more awkward this time around.

"Video Shows Allen Burning Flag" [sic]
From the archive: Al Diamon's February 2008 "Media Mutt" column from Downeast magazine:
If a newspaper had information that indicated a member of Congress had taken part in burning the U.S. flag to protest the war in Iraq, you'd think that would be big news. Front page. Above the fold. Giant headline.
But that's not the way things are done at the Morning Sentinel in Waterville. Somebody there apparently thought the paper had just such a story, but that it wasn't all that big a deal.
On Feb. 28, the Sentinel ran a piece by Blethen Maine Newspapers' Washington correspondent Jonathan Kaplan about a new fundraising video put out by Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, in which she attacks her Democratic rival in the November election, U.S. Rep. Tom Allen, for accepting large campaign donations through the liberal group MoveOn.org.
The third paragraph of Kaplan's story, "Collins camp launches video attacking Allen," begins with this sentence: "The video includes a grainy image of Allen and shots of Iraq war protesters burning American flags and holding a sign urging soldiers to kill their officers."
I doubt an average reader would think that meant Allen had taken part in a flag burning, nor does the actual video portray such an action. But a copy editor at the Sentinel managed to come up with that interpretation. He or she slapped a sub-headline on the piece that read, "Video shows Allen burning flag."
Then, that editor buried this scoop on the back page of the local section.
Asked about this curious mix of creating sensational (although false) news and then burying it, Sentinel editor Eric Conrad, reached by phone, said, "That sub-head was bad, and we'll correct it."
He refused further comment by hanging up. Which was probably the wisest thing anybody connected with this mess has done.

Up to the Edge
Last Wednesday, Portland Press Herald made a subtle post-publication revision to an opinion column that it had published the previous day. And while the change was pretty minor--involving only a few words--it speaks volumes about the peculiar, corrosive dynamics of the US Senate race in Maine.
Backing up for a moment: On September 27, PPH ran a piece by lefty activist and columnist Mike Tipping detailing Sen. Susan Collins's role in the lead-up to last year's federal government shutdown, puncturing the Collins campaign's carefully crafted narrative with vote citations, published quotes and a reference to a Politico article.
Along the way, he noted that the senior senator's failed "compromise plan" to end the shutdown was built around a tax cut for medical device manufacturers, adding:
Why did Collins target this particular provision? It's hard to say, but it may have something to do with the fact that the pharmaceutical and medical device industry has given heavily to Collins' re-election campaign. Four months before she proposed the repeal, their top lobbyists had even hosted a high-dollar fundraising luncheon on her behalf.Three days later, PPH ran a response from the Collins campaign which led with the claim that:
Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Shenna Bellows and her partisan left-wing allies...have resorted to false attack ads, misleading letters to the editor and, sadly, outright lies.But instead of taking on any of those supposed lies--or tackling the claims Tipping actually made--Collins's proxy took the conversation in a different direction, focusing on praise from Collins's colleagues that was entirely beside the point.
The most recent example is Mike Tipping's Sept. 27 column.
And after strongly implying that Collins's plan--and the medical device tax that was its centerpiece--passed into law (it did not), the senior senator's surrogate noted that her, "framework did include a repeal of the medical device tax, as Mr. Tipping pointed out while alleging some sort of illegal campaign kickback."
That summarization of Tipping's claims--that he was suggesting, let alone alleging, illegality--strikes me as just plain false. And it struck Tipping the same way. He was clearly speculating rather than concluding. And he was pointing to the tangled relationship between money and power inside the beltway rather than suggesting an explicit quid pro quo.
But instead of recapping this discussion neutrally--or even reframing it in a negative light--the Collins campaign had simply replaced the substance of his comment with a more nefarious conclusion that was easier to bat down.
And they had done so, remember, in the context of a piece attacking the credibility of Collins's foes and purporting to respond to "outright lies."
It's not unusual for political campaigns to caricature the arguments of their opponents or stretch the bounds of truth in service of political attacks. But taking shots at the credibility of your critics based on arguments they haven't actually made requires a certain amount of moxie. And it's the kind of cynical tactic that cries out for media exposure: Readers and voters need to understand that the person shouting "liar" may in fact be the one who's not telling the truth.
But what happened next is what's most illuminating.
Faced with a swirl of responsibilities to his readers, his writers and the integrity of the paper, Press Herald Opinion Editor Greg Kesich went back into the piece to remove the false claim about Tipping, essentially conceding that the Collins camp's credibility attack itself didn't stand up to scrutiny.
But he did so in the quietest way possible, appending a small "clarification" to the bottom of the article that omits any suggestion that the Collins camp had mischaracterized Tipping's words in the first place--even though the question of who's telling the truth was central to the piece and Kesich's intervention was a key data point in that debate.
In a phone interview, Kesich explained the step, telling me that the word "illegal" was "too strong" and noting that the Collins camp, "took the most extreme version" of what Tipping had written.
At the same time, he characterized the change as essentially small potatoes and really no big deal.
When I pressed him, pointing out that his decision to go back in to revise the piece after publication suggested that he must have been pretty uncomfortable with the language, he agreed, but noted that all the same, the Collins camp's claim was "pretty close to the edge."
And there you have the Collins campaign strategy in a nutshell: To make false claims about its opponents that are close enough to the edge so as not to draw the attention or raise the ire of the somnambulant, pliant Maine press.
So far, so good.

Sen. Susan Collins on children caught entering the United States from Central America:
"It was a surprise to me that they were being taught American customs, American traditions ... the kind that I would expect to see in a naturalization process," said Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine, who led the late-July trip from Washington of a handful of senators.
"I thought that was troubling because I think it raises their expectations that they will be allowed to stay in this country," she said.

DFA Ad Trips up Collins Camp
With the campaign of Democratic challenger Shenna Bellows circulating a poll that shows their candidate making a big dent in the lead of Sen. Susan Collins--the senior senator's advantage is down to 24% from 55% in June--Democracy For America (DFA) jumped into the fray on Wednesday with a $300,000 ad buy attacking Collins and supporting Bellows:
Collins reelection campaign spokesman Lance Dutson immediately took to Twitter to blast the above ad:
But then something funny happened: Dutson couldn't back up his rather bold charge. He couldn't come close.
Ad from Bellows ally DFA riddled with falsehoods and distortions. More to come. #mepolitics— Lance Dutson (@ldutson) August 27, 2014
Dutson began his dissection of the ad by attributing to it the claim that "Collins voted against Dodd-Frank."
The ad actually says that Collins voted "against a crackdown on Wall Street after the financial crisis" and references an April 26, 2010 vote to make its case.
This was indeed a vote on the Dodd-Frank financial reform package--but not the final, successful vote that made the bill into law. Rather, it was an earlier vote in which Collins lined up with Republicans to block the package. I'd forgotten that Collins had been on both sides of the Senate's financial reform bill, but clearly DFA didn't. (She was memorably quizzed about the filibuster by--of all people--Matt Lauer.)
In short, while it's indisputably true that Maine's three-term senator ultimately came around to backing Dodd-Frank, it's just as indisputable that Collins "voted against a crackdown" as the ad claims.
Spotlighting that fact might be considered uncharitable--after having voted against the bill, in the end Collins voted for it. In the context of a 60-second critique, the assertion could even (arguably) be called disingenuous. But all the caveats in the world don't change the fact that it's literally and verifiably true.
Meanwhile, Dutson's second attempt at exposing the ad's "falsehoods" came to even less:
As proof, Dutson cited Collins's vote for the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act when it passed back in 2009. But as I tried to get across to him on Twitter, you can't refute the idea that someone is against doing "more" about something by citing a law she helped pass long ago: The whole point of using the word "more" is to signal a move beyond the present-tense status quo. (Try promising your kid more ice cream and then, when she asks for it, talking about the ice cream you bought her six weeks ago.)
Ex.2: DFA ad says Collins 'against doing more about pay discrimination against women' Wrong again. #mepolitics 1/2— Lance Dutson (@ldutson) August 27, 2014
This seems so basic as to be almost beyond explanation. But instead of trying again or recalibrating--instead of dialing back the charge that the ad is "riddled with falsehoods" Dutson simply dug in, citing "major factual errors".
Whether he had in mind other, unspecified errors or the errors he'd tried and failed to substantiate isn't clear.
Something tells me that further clarification won't be forthcoming.

"Prior to the Tea Party movement, moderate members such as Sen. Susan M. Collins, Maine Republican, were only known back home. Today, they are household names and their telephone lines can be flooded at a moment's notice with calls from activists--a move that can directly affect votes. It is akin to winning the war without firing a single shot, or spending a single dollar in those districts during an election year."

ABVP activists take out procession, stage demonstrations in Belgaum
The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad has urged the Governor not to give his assent to the private universities Bill passed by the BJP government in a hurry and without much debate, clearing the establishment of 22 private varsities.
The Governor should not accord his assent in view of the widespread allegations of crores of rupees changing hands for clearing the universities, they said.
As part of the Statewide protest against the Bill, the activists took out a procession and staged a demonstration at Rani Chennamma Circle and outside the Deputy Commissioner's office here on Monday.
They condemned the government for "spreading a red carpet to the merchants of education" without taking into consideration the future of students belonging to poor sections of society.
The protest was led by ABVP Belgaum unit joint secretary Mahanand Patil, State executive committee member Kushal Mulimani and other youth leaders.
Instead of taking action against irregularities and exploitation of students and teachers, the government was encouraging commercialisation of education, they alleged.
The activists also drew attention to the alleged corruption in appointment of vice-chancellors to various universities in the State.
"We demand a thorough inquiry against the Governor, who is also the Chancellor fo various government universities," they said. The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad also demanded that inquiry reports against the former Vice-Chancellor of the Women's University Syeda Akhtar, Vice-Chancellor of Visvesvaraya Technological University H. Maheshappa, the former Vice-Chancellor of Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences A.S. Prabhakaran, and the former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Mysore Shashidhar Prasad, who were allegedly involved in various illegalities, be made public.

Tanner Scheppers is prepping to start, but wants to close
Dec 18, 2013, 11:17 AM EST
Texas has been very willing to shift pitchers back and forth between the rotation and bullpen in recent years, with both good and bad results, and Tanner Scheppers is the latest with his future role in flux.
Scheppers has spent this offseason building up arm strength to potentially join the rotation, although the Rangers have said he'll most likely remain in the bullpen. If he does continue to relieve Scheppers has his eye on the closer role following Joe Nathan's departure as a free agent, telling Todd Willis of ESPN Dallas: "I would love to be a closer. That would be a dream come true."
If you're going to be a reliever you might as well be a closer, if only for the huge uptick in salary that comes with piling up saves instead of piling up holds (does anyone pay attention to holds?). As a setup man for Nathan this year Scheppers threw 77 innings with a 1.88 ERA and .214 opponents' batting average. And no one outside of Texas really noticed, but if he did that same thing as a closer …

Max Stassi remembers….
or maybe he doesn't.
- markofapro - Dec 18, 2013 at 12:00 PM
He will be solid in the bullpen and Soria and Feliz are options, too. Good job by J. Daniels for building the pitching staff.
- dylanthom2013 - Dec 18, 2013 at 6:58 PM
Yeah Feliz-Soria-Scheppers-Cotts is a nice top-4, esp. if Feliz can get his 99-mph velocity back. Ross and Frasor are nice back-end guys, just maybe need one more dude. Maybe Kirkman since he's out of options.
- mayorrobford - Dec 18, 2013 at 12:03 PM
*Raises hand*
I pay attention to Holds
Of course that's only because I'm in a legit Dynasty league
- rollinghighwayblues - Dec 18, 2013 at 1:26 PM
Let me guess, your favorite player is Arthur Rhodes?
- mayorrobford - Dec 18, 2013 at 2:20 PM
Last year it was Mark Melancon, guy racked up holds and a few saves on the cheap.
- tcb2nyc - Dec 18, 2013 at 4:29 PM
He throws it hard, but very straight. Needs a little more movement, and he could be elite.
Doesnt seem like a starter though.
- dylanthom2013 - Dec 18, 2013 at 6:56 PM
He's more of a groundball-type pitcher (1.63 GB/FB in '13) than power pitchers usually are, and that's why he was so effective last year despite not striking out a ton of guys. He knew TEX had a great infield D so he started using a slider last season year to induce grounders. He can still bring it at 99-mph but is maybe more judicious in using it than he was in his first year when just wanted to blow every hitter away.

Rotten: Undistinguished apart from Rebecca De Mornay's performance as an unhinged mama.
- Charles Gant, Variety, Saturday, June 11, 2011
Rotten: Notable for a chilling lead performance from Rebecca De Mornay and not much else.
- Christy Lemire, Associated Press, Wednesday, May 2, 2012
Rotten: Stuffed with secrets and characters who can't wait to betray one another, the film offers no one to root for except Mother, whose perverted family values at least remain consistent.

Audience Reviews
This is a really good horror film, just when you think everything has been written this movie comes along. Beth and Daniel Sohapi are celebrating in their recently bought house with their friends. Beth and Daniel have lost their son in an accident, and Daniel has a secret affair. Thieves and brothers Izaak 'Ike' Koffin, Addley Koffin and Jonathan 'Johnny' Koffin are fleeing to the house of their mother in Stonewall after a heist of the First Omaha Bank. Johnny is seriously wounded by a shot and the gang has been double-crossed by their partner who took the stolen money. When the criminals arrive at home, they discover that their mother lost the house two months ago and now Beth and Daniel are the owners of the place. They violently dominate the nine adults and George, who is a doctor, is summoned to help Johnny. Ike calls his mother and sister to join them in the house. The deranged mother calms down the friends and tells them that they will leave the house early in the morning, after the tornado that is threatening the city. However, when she learns that Ike has been sending money for her for two months, she decides to know who has received the letters and kept the money, in the beginning of a night of horror and sadism for Beth, Daniel and their friends.... Another remake of a film I have never heard of, is an exciting premise, but it's one of the most disturbing and sinister films of the year. One cannot deny the power of DeMornays portrayal of the mother, and she ranks up there with one of the screens most psychotic villains. never flinching in the violence, she remains calm throughout the majority of the film, and for a while, I really thought things would go okay, when she arrived at the house, but they just go more extreme. To say that the film is violent is an understatement, but coming from the director of some of the Saw films, I was expecting a little gore, just not acts that made me feel dirty, and a little helpless. For instance, one of the brothers makes two random girls kill each other so the other can live, but just shooting the other anyway, stuff like this isn't really needed, and although I never really criticise a film because of violence, this was not needed. The hostages are not very nice people, but some of the things that they endure makes you sympathise with them. If a man is having an affair, you instantly dislike him, but when the same person is watching a woman burn pictures of his dead child, you cannot help but side with him. The story and narration are great and performances are good too, it's just some of the content leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth and kind of ruins the overall product. And then there's the ending..... 4 Stars 2-14-13
- bbcfloridabound, Wednesday, February 20, 2013
Brutal home invasion horror. When three brother's burst into what they think is their home after running from a bank robbery they just committed they don't realise that they actually lost the house a few months ago and a new family are living there, in the house at that moment, along with some other friends. Obviously there's only way this situation is going to go and it involves violence. But when the brothers mother arrives, at first it seems to calm things down. But it quickly becomes apparent that the boys mother is as mental as them, just more manipulative, calculated and clever and things are actually looking worse for the family and friends than they did before. Mother's Day is an enjoyable horror film with some intense moments, gore and a few twists and turns to. A chilling performance from Rebecca De Mornay as the mother also gives the film a lift above the usual shit.
- monkeybobbob, Monday, October 28, 2013
Full of the typical "why didn't they do this?", and "I would have done that's!". BUT, all in all it was rather well done, and definitely rarely a dull moment. Rebecca De Mornay does creepy pretty well. I have to say..the ending was not expected, and well thought out. This, to me, means a lot. Movies like this usually get ruined for me with lame, or stupid, endings. Good job...

Repair work on the 28km stretch started in May, but was disrupted by the rain.
Lakes State Minister for Physical Infrastructure, Abraham Meen Kuc says the work is expected to be completed in two weeks. He says the road is being graded by the State Ministry of Physical Infrastructure with support from the UN Mission (UNMISS).
In the latest report, a woman was reportedly raped by unknown gunmen in Rumbek Central County.
Deputy Governor, Santo Domic Chol says in a separate incident, another lady was struck on the head with an iron bar.
The offer was made in a meeting between Electricity, Dams and Irrigation Minister, Jemma Nunu Kumba and her Egyptian counterpart in Cairo.
Kumba says an assessment team from Egypt is expected in the country in January next year ahead of construction.
The Minister is part of a delegation of 10 Ministers and several government officials that accompanied President Salva Kiir on a trip to Egypt.
On the morning of November 21st, a 30-year-old South Sudanese man returned from LRA captivity with a 16-year-old Central African girl in Obo, Central African Republic (CAR). The young girl was reportedly abducted three years ago in Bakouma, CAR while the man was abducted near Juba, South Sudan.
NAIROBI, Kenya, November 21 (UNHCR) – The UN refugee agency has sought to allay the concerns of hundreds of thousands of refugees facing food ration cuts in northern Kenya and stressed that these are not linked to the repatriation of Somalis.
"We call for calm in camps. The reduction of food rations is purely as a result of funding constraints and should not in any way be linked to the planned pilot project that will support refugees spontaneously returning to Somalia," Raouf Mazou, UNHCR's representative in Kenya, said in Nairobi this week.
As at 20th November 2014, Kakuma had received 44,282 asylum seekers from South Sudan. This brings the total camp population to 179,126. As at 16th November 177,070 refugees had been registered by UNHCR and DRA, with South Sudanese making up 49% of the registered population.
World Toilet Day, which is celebrated every year on the 19 December, is an opportunity to inspire action and underscore the urgency needed to end open defecation, especially for women and girls who are particularly vulnerable. As the main provider of sanitation facilities in Gendrassa and Kaya refugee camps in Maban, Upper Nile State, ACTED celebrated World Toilet Day with a 'learn from your neighbour' theme. The day's celebrations were held in the areas of the camps that had the cleanest and best maintained latrines.

Following the December 2013 outbreak of violence, 1.8 million people have fled their homes . Many have crossed into neighboring countries (estimated 463,000 people have fled to neighboring countries of Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia and Sudan individuals). 1.4 million individuals remain internally displaced and most are seeking shelter in remote rural areas across the country. Displacement patterns remain fluid, driven by violence, access to emergency assistance and floods. There are currently 102,265 internally displaced persons (IDPs) sheltering in UN bases across South Sudan.
An immunisation campaign targeting more than 3.2 million children in all 10 states has been successfully completed in seven states. Efforts are underway to immunise children in the three conflict-affected states of Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile.
Clashes in Malakal, raise concerns as gunshot wounds and other weapon-related injuries are the leading cause of mortality, accounting for 23% of deaths in the Protection of Civilian (PoC) site.
Juba, 21 November 2014): UN Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Kyung-wha Kang, concluded her three-day mission to South Sudan today, calling on all parties to the conflict to respect their ceasefire commitments and urging the international community to continue providing support to enable humanitarians to scale up and expand critical aid operations.
20 November, 2014 - To enable displaced people at the UN base in the Upper Nile State capital Malakal to understand of the UNMISS mandate, the mission today started a two-day workshop.
"Some of you might be wondering what UNMISS is doing here and what activities we are involved in (and) this is why we are here," said UNMISS Acting State Coordinator Hastings Amurani Phiri in his opening remarks to the women, elders and youth who attended the workshop.
20 November 2014 - True policing has never been offered to the South Sudanese people in over 50 years, UNMISS Police Commissioner Fred Yiga told the UN Security Council in New York today.
"Policing in the country has generally been done by armed groups whose ethos is that of a soldier in battle," he said adding that South Sudan is largely a nomadic society and the policing methods require special skills, policies and equipment.
The UN is "holding the mantle" to ensure that the first time "good policing, true policing" is provided, Mr. Yiga said.
Dear Palais journalists
Following requests from several journalists, please find below my notes on the WHO preparedness missions to support countries get prepared to respond to any Ebola outbreak.
Ebola Preparedness
Given the evolving Ebola Virus situation, there is a risk of cases appearing in currently unaffected countries. With adequate levels of preparation however, such introductions can be contained before they develop into large outbreaks.
20 November 2014 - UNMISS is making every effort to uphold the civilian nature of protection site on its bases across the country, the mission's chief Ellen Loej said in Juba today.
In an exclusive interview with Radio Miraya, the Special Representative of the Secretary General (SRSG) said although it is possible that ex-soldiers from both sides of the conflict could be living at the sites, they were all disarmed and their uniforms were removed before they entered.
18 November 2014 - The United Kingdom's Department for International Development (DFID) today contributed £1.6 million to for expansion of the UNMISS protection site in the Upper Nile state capital Malakal.
Making the announcement, the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) noted that partners were taking advantage of the onset of the dry season to complete expansion of the Malakal protection site, which provides emergency shelter and protection to over 17,000 internally displaced people (IDPs), as others continue to trickle in.
