Head of state: rotating presidency: Haris Silajdžić, Nebojša Radmanović, Željko Komšić
Head of government: Adnan Terzić
President of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Niko Lozančić
President of the Republika Srpska: Milan Jelić (replaced Dragan Čavić in November)
Death penalty: abolitionist for all crimes
International Criminal Court: ratified
Many perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity during the 1992-95 war continued to evade justice, and thousands of enforced disappearances remained unresolved. Lack of full co-operation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (Tribunal) by the Republika Srpska (RS) was an obstacle to justice. Progress was made in the domestic prosecution of war crimes, including in proceedings at the War Crimes Chamber in Sarajevo, although efforts to bring perpetrators to justice were insufficient. Minorities faced discrimination, including in employment and in access to education. Approximately 3,600 refugees and internally displaced people had returned to their homes by October.
Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) remained divided in two semi-autonomous entities, the RS and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH), with a special status granted to the Brčko District.
The international community continued to exert significant influence over the country's political process, in particular through a High Representative with executive powers nominated by the Peace Implementation Council (PIC), an intergovernmental body monitoring the implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement. In June the PIC began preparing the closure in June 2007 of the Office of the High Representative (OHR). The engagement of the international community was expected to continue through a strengthened European Union (EU) Special Representative. Approximately 6,000 troops of the EU-led peacekeeping force EUFOR remained. EUFOR's mandate was extended by the UN Security Council in November for a further year.
General elections in October, the first to be fully administered by local authorities, showed that the electorate remained divided along ethnic lines. Widespread nationalist rhetoric included calls for a referendum on independence for the RS. A new government had not been formed by the end of 2006.
International prosecutions for war crimes
The Tribunal continued to try alleged perpetrators of serious violations of international humanitarian law. Former Serbian President Slobodan Milošević died at the Tribunal Detention Unit following a heart attack on 11 March. He had been on trial before the Tribunal for war crimes and crimes against humanity in BiH, Croatia and Kosovo, and for genocide in BiH.
- In March, Enver Hadžihasanović and Amir Kubura, former Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ABiH) commanders, were sentenced to five and two and a half years' imprisonment, respectively. They were convicted of failing to prevent or punish crimes against non-Bosniaks by volunteer foreign fighters, Enver Hadžihasanović for crimes including murder and cruel treatment, and Amir Kubura for the plunder of villages.
- In May, Ivica Rajić, a former commander of the Croatian Defence Council (HVO), the Bosnian Croat armed forces, was sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment for his involvement in the attack on the village of Stupni Do. The Tribunal found that forces under his command wilfully killed at least 37 people. He had admitted charges of wilful killing, inhuman treatment, appropriation of property, and extensive, unlawful and wanton destruction not justified by military necessity.
- In June, Dragan Zelenović, former sub-commander of the RS military police and paramilitary leader in Foča, was transferred to the Tribunal's custody. He had been arrested in the Russian Federation in 2005. He faced charges of torture and rape as war crimes and crimes against humanity against the non-Serb population in Foča, for allegedly raping, sexually assaulting and participating in the gang rape of detained women.
- Also in June Naser Orić, former commander of the Srebrenica Armed Forces Staff, was convicted of failing to prevent murders and the cruel treatment of Bosnian Serb prisoners in 1992 and 1993. He was sentenced to two years' imprisonment.
- In September, Momčilo Krajišnik, who held high-ranking positions in the Bosnian Serb leadership between 1991 and 1995, was sentenced to 27 years' imprisonment for the persecution, extermination, murder, deportation and forced transfer of non-Serbs. He was acquitted of genocide and complicity in genocide charges.
Co-operation between the RS and the Tribunal remained inadequate and no progress was made by the RS in locating former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadžić, indicted by the Tribunal on charges including genocide and still at large. In December, in her address to the UN Security Council, the Tribunal Prosecutor noted that central institutions were not working efficiently and that the RS authorities, despite some recent improvements, had not shown a robust willingness to arrest Radovan Karadžić and Stojan Župljanin, the fugitives most likely to be in BiH.
Under a 'completion strategy' laid down by the UN Security Council, the Tribunal was expected to conclude all cases in 2010. As a result of the tight deadlines imposed by the strategy, the Tribunal continued to refer cases involving lower level perpetrators to national jurisdictions in the former Yugoslavia. In 2006 cases involving seven suspects were transferred to BiH.
Domestic prosecutions for war crimes
The War Crimes Chamber within the BiH State Court, set up to try particularly sensitive cases or cases referred by the Tribunal, issued its first convictions.
- In April, former member of Bosnian Serb forces Neđo Samardžić was convicted of unlawful imprisonment, rape, and aiding and abetting sexual slavery of non-Serb victims in the Foča area. He was sentenced to 13 years and four months' imprisonment. In September the verdict was quashed and a re-trial before an appellate panel in December raised the prison sentence to 24 years.
- In May, Dragoje Paunović, a former local commander of Bosnian Serb forces, was sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment for crimes against humanity in 1992. He was convicted of persecuting Bosniak civilians, for his command and individual responsibility for killings and other inhuman acts. The verdict was confirmed on appeal in November.
- In July former RS police officer Boban Šimšić was convicted of assisting members of the Bosnian Serb Army (VRS) in enforced disappearances and rapes of non-Serbs in 1992. He was sentenced to five years' imprisonment.
- Marko Samardžija, a former VRS commander, was convicted of crimes against humanity, including for his role in the killing of at least 144 Bosniak detained men, and sentenced to 26 years' imprisonment in November.
- Also in November, the War Crimes Chamber rendered its first judgement in a case transferred by the Tribunal. Radovan Stanković was convicted of crimes against humanity against the non-Serb population in the Foča area. A former VRS member, he was found to have participated in the rape of women detained by Bosnian Serb forces and sentenced to 16 years' imprisonment.
- In December, Nikola Andrun, a former HVO member, was sentenced to 13 years' imprisonment for war crimes committed in his capacity as Deputy Commander of the Gabela detention camp, including the torture and intimidation of non-Croat detainees.
Some war crimes trials of low-level perpetrators were also held in local courts, including in the RS, which continued to have difficulties in dealing with these cases because of a lack of staff and effective witness protection programmes.
Enforced disappearances unresolved
According to estimates of the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP), approximately 13,000 people who went missing during the war were still unaccounted for. Many of them were victims of enforced disappearances, whose perpetrators enjoyed impunity.
Progress was slow in transferring competencies from the missing persons commissions of the FBiH and RS to the national Missing Persons Institute. The Institute's directors were appointed in March, and Steering and Supervisory Board members in December.
Approximately 2,500 sets of human remains were exhumed from various locations in BiH.
- In August the exhumation of a mass grave in Kamenica, near Zvornik, uncovered 1,009 incomplete and 144 complete skeletons. The site is believed to contain the remains of victims killed by Bosnian Serb forces in Srebrenica in 1995, and was reportedly the biggest mass grave excavated since the end of the war.
- In January the OHR ordered the RS authorities to implement a 2001 decision by the BiH Human Rights Chamber to form a commission to investigate the enforced disappearance of Avdo Palić. The ABiH war-time commander in the UN 'safe haven' of Žepa, Avdo Palić was last seen negotiating the surrender of Ûepa to the VRS in 1995 and was later reportedly detained by Bosnian Serb forces. His fate and whereabouts have remained unknown. A Commission was appointed, and in April presented a report to the OHR, claiming to contain information on the location of his remains. However, this information proved insufficient for an exhumation and no progress was made in the case. The Commission was reportedly reactivated in December.
Right to return
Of an estimated 2.2 million people displaced during the conflict, more than a million refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) were estimated to have returned to their homes. Progress on returns was limited. UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, registered approximately 3,600 returns between January and October. Of these, some 3,000 returned to areas where they were part of a minority community.
Violence towards and harassment of returnees and members of minorities by private individuals were reported.
- In February, a Bosnian Croat 78-year-old returnee was beaten to death in Bugojno. Three men were convicted of the murder.
- In May an elderly returnee was murdered in her home on the outskirts of Sanski Most. A suspect was reportedly arrested by local police.
The lack of jobs was a major obstacle to sustainable returns. Generally scarce employment opportunities reflected the weak economy and difficulties of transition and post-war reconstruction. In addition, returnees faced discrimination on ethnic grounds.
"War on terror"
Six men of Algerian origin, unlawfully transferred in 2002 by the FBiH authorities to US custody, remained in detention in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. In April, following a complaint by the wife of one of the detainees, Hadj Boudellaa, the Human Rights Commission within the BiH Constitutional Court concluded that the BiH authorities had failed to implement a 2002 decision of the BiH Human Rights Chamber in the case. They had failed to use diplomatic channels to protect the rights of the detainee, provide him with consular support, and take all necessary steps to ensure he would not be subjected to the death penalty, including by asking the US government for guarantees to that effect.
In June, the Rapporteur appointed by the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe to investigate alleged secret detentions and unlawful inter-state transfers of detainees, reported that the six men were "a well documented example of the abduction of European citizens and residents by the American authorities with the active collusion of the authorities of a Council of Europe member state". The report called for a credible diplomatic intervention by the BiH authorities with the US government to secure the rapid repatriation of the detainees.
Accountability of peacekeepers
In January, Italian members of EUFOR, during an operation to arrest war crimes suspect Dragomir Abazović, shot dead his wife, and seriously wounded him and their 11-year-old son. Reportedly, a EUFOR internal investigation found the troops had acted in self-defence and cleared them of any wrongdoing. An investigation by the East Sarajevo District Prosecutor reportedly found indications that the EUFOR troops fired first. The outcomes of both investigations were forwarded to the competent Prosecutor in Italy.
Exclusion from education
Primary school attendance rates for Romani children were low, and extreme poverty remained one of the main causes of the exclusion of Roma from education. Romani language, culture and traditions were not included in a systematic way in school curricula. Insufficient progress was made in the implementation of the 2004 Action Plan on the Educational Needs of Roma and Members of Other National Minorities. A Council for National Minorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina, tasked with overseeing its implementation, was formally created in April, but was not operational by the end of 2006.
Violence against women
In June the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women expressed concern that BiH remained a country of origin, transit and destination in the trafficking in women, and that victims of sexual violence during the 1992-1995 war suffered additional disadvantages as both female heads of households and IDPs.

Five years ago today, I was driving from Phoenix to Tucson to see my friend Gabby Giffords. That Saturday morning, she was at a shopping center parking lot, holding office hours, doing the most basic job of a representative, meeting with her constituents.
Until we tame the power of the NRA, we can expect more killings, a part of the deadly daily diet of murders throughout America committed by angry gun-toting people whose "freedom" to own weapons of mass destruction that Wayne LaPierre defends.
I have no doubt that some additional legislation, such as background checks, will help stem the tide of this endless gun violence. But the real answer is in repealing existing legislation -- the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.
While apocalyptic religious and racist ranting can provoke emotionally disturbed people, so can journalism and entertainment that massage hatreds too diffuse to be called racist, religious or ideological.

For far too long the narrative about renewables and clean energy has tilted towards the doom and gloom of climate change and that's the wrong way to do it.
Today, you are more important than we are. It's up to you to lead. Make the choice to serve. Endeavor to do something extraordinary. And when life throws setback and challenges your way, grit your teeth and keep on going.
Many people put a great amount of energy into their hobbies, people with deep resentments about things they cannot change displace their hostility into the channel they can find, and companies with a financial interest pour resources into the advancement whatever they profit from.

In 1981, Bernie Shaw stood up to his bosses and the opposition networks and kept Jim Brady alive. He was right, the rest of us were wrong and he saved our "unique" credibility. It's too bad there no was no Bernie Shaw at CNN or Fox yesterday.
I come from a long line of military vets and war heroes. I am no stranger to the concept of baring arms, fighting for freedom or protecting property. What is strange to me is the fact that people do not seem to respect fire arms or their purpose.
I want to direct the same lines said by Joseph Welch in 1954 to Wayne LaPierre, who testified at the Senate committee hearing on January 30, 2013 and shamelessly uses fear-mongering to boost gun sales: Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?
If Americans had said no more after Columbine, there may never have been a Virginia Tech. If we had said no more after Aurora, there may never have been a Newtown, and maybe some of the more than 31,000 other American gun deaths that occur each year could have been prevented.

i'm about to deploy two different but dependent war-files into a single jboss (AS 4.2.x GA) One implements some webservices (jax-ws) exposing their interfaces through a wsdl. The other one is a (say) web frontend using the aformentioned webservices. When I drop both warfiles to $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy at the same time I can see that the first gets deployed (somehow) but the second one gets stuck and the entire jboss is not responding. When I deploy them one after another, everything is fine (it just works:)
Is there a way to tell jboss that deployment of warfile2.war has to wait for warfile1.war to finish deployment before starting deployment of warfile2.war?
Is there a way to determine programatically wheter a given 'service' is deployed and ready?
I'm wonder what happens when both wars are present and jboss is restarted?
Kind regards, Jay Wee.

Orlando police fatally shoot armed suspect
Published: Monday, June 10, 2013 at 11:53 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 10, 2013 at 11:53 a.m.
ORLANDO — Orlando police say an officer has fatally shot a suspect they say was carrying a gun while standing in the middle of a busy highway.
The shooting occurred as police were chasing a vehicle belonging to another suspect of an armed robbery early Monday. Officers stopped the vehicle to question that suspect.
Additional officers at the scene noticed another person wielding a gun standing in the middle of Interstate 4. Police say officers engaged the suspect and were forced to shoot. The victim, a 24-year-old male, died at the scene. It's unclear what prompted the shooting. No other details were released.
Authorities said the two incidents are not related. The victim was not identified.
The shooting caused massive delays during rush hour traffic Monday.

Workforce Management: How should companies today deal with a possible recession?
Henry Mintzberg: People have to rethink how they're managing companies. They've just lost it. Everything has become too superficial. I see a lot of short-term angst instead of some thoughtful sanity. We need more thoughtful people in organizations. My main advice to leaders today is, "Think, don't copy." The managers we most respect, like Jack Welch or Kofi Annan, are very thoughtful people. The companies that come to mind are the companies that have kept their heads, like Ikea. They are going to continue to sell furniture.
WM: Should companies lay off employees as they face lean times?
Mintzberg: We ought to recognize that the real heart and soul of an organization is largely in its middle managers. If a company's got its back against the wall, like General Motors, sure, you may have to lay people off. But that's not what's happened. Companies that remain quite profitable are laying off employees. It's a slippery slope, that one.
WM: But haven't CEOs come to see talent as critical to their businesses?
Mintzberg: I'm not so sure. Have you read an essay by Malcolm Gladwell called The Talent Myth? He argues that maybe this whole emphasis on talent is overrated. The idea of "high-fliers"—it takes attention away from regular performers.
WM: You've made the case that companies ought to treat their employees as members of a team rather than as "free agents." But haven't workers already come to see themselves as individuals out for themselves?
Mintzberg: It's not the primary perspective in Japan or in Germany or France. I'm not sure people take great pride in jumping around. They want security. To some extent, it's in the American character to want to move around. It's especially true among highly educated Americans who are more mobile. But people still want some stability.
WM: Which is better prepared to bounce back from a recession: the United States or Europe?
Mintzberg: Europe is better prepared. Much better. The soul of the enterprise is much more intact in Europe. There's much more respect for the idea of collective effort there. You haven't seen that much downsizing in Europe, partly because it's not their style, and partly because there are laws that slow that down. America is the land of quick-quick, rush-rush. Europeans tend to have a longer-term perspective. They tend to be much less bandwagon-ish.

A new study released today by Ernst & Young and Dow Jones VentureOne found that Web 2.0 investments doubled from investments in 2005, to $844.4M, with almost twice as many deals. The study, which classified Web 2.0 firms as using user-created content, podcasting, blogging, social networking, or using AJAX and other rich Internet applications, found 167 Web 2.0 deals last year. Most active investors in the space were Benchmark Capital, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Sequoia Capital, and the Omidyar Network. The busiest region for Web 2.0 deals was the San Francisco Bay Area, however Southern California, New York, and New England also saw growth in deal flow and investments.

Questionable claims about Vibram FiveFingers shoes spark a conversation
The company's claims about the shoes' health benefits prompted a lawsuit and settlement.
Users of Vibram FiveFingers running shoes had a lot to say Friday, May 9, after the news that the company had settled a class-action lawsuit over claims regarding the product.
The settlement will result in Vibram users to claim as much as a $94 refund, according to The Washington Post. The refunds will be paid from a $3.75 million fund the company is setting aside as part of the lawsuit settlement. To be eligible, customers must have purchased a pair of the unique-looking shoes since March 21, 2009.
The lawsuit accused the company of deceiving customers in advertising claims that had no scientific basis. The ads promised that the shoes could decrease foot injuries and strengthen foot muscles.
Vibram's popularity grew as more people adopted the "barefoot" running trend it helped champion.
Do you own a pair of Vibram shoes or know someone who does? What do you think of the health claims?
Here is a sampling of what readers on our Facebook page had to say. Continue the conversation below or on our Facebook page.

Give a Gift Membership
With this gift of nature, Nature Conservancy magazine arrives all year long. Join
The Nature Conservancy, along with local partner the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust, announced today a campaign to protect over 1,300 acres of land (2 square miles) in Conway NH. Once completed, the project will expand The Conservancy's existing 3,500 acre Green Hills Preserve, which provides the scenic backdrop for North Conway village.
"This is an exciting and rare opportunity to protect important natural resources and ensure continued public access to the high quality recreational opportunities that are so important to the economy and quality of life in the Mt. Washington Valley," said Mark Zankel, New Hampshire State Director. "Here in New Hampshire, opportunities like this do not come about that often. We just couldn't pass this up."
The Conservancy will need to raise $1.4 million to complete the project. About half of the funding has already been secured through a combination of private donations, foundation grants and public support including funding from the New Hampshire Department of Fish and Game and the Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP).
"We are very pleased to partner with The Nature Conservancy on this project," said William Abbott, Executive Director of the Upper Saco Valley Land Trust. "This area is a conservation priority for the Land Trust. Protecting the southern flanks of the Green Hills will make a lasting difference here in the Valley. Our members and the community are excited about it."
The project area is rich in natural resources, including high quality wildlife habitat, important water resources and exemplary natural communities. In addition to providing habitat for migratory birds, deer, black bear and moose, the land features extensive wetlands and over 7 miles of headwater streams that support Eastern brook trout, a species of conservation concern.
"When we looked at the property closely, what really jumped were the outstanding natural features on the land," said Jeff Lougee, TNC's Director of Stewardship and Ecological Management. "Some of the forest types on the property are very unique – including a stand of trees that may be over 400 years old. Those features, combined with seven miles of streams and brooks flowing into the Saco River, made this a must do project."
The Conway Conservation Commission supports the project. They explained that the expansion "will serve to protect additional exemplary communities and provide expanded recreational opportunities for residents and visitors." The property will remain on the Conway tax rolls, continuing to provide important revenue for the community.
While the natural features of the property are important, it is recreational resources that draw visitors to the area. The Green Hills is The Conservancy's most visited preserve in New Hampshire, with iconic Black Cap a favorite destination for thousands of locals and tourists each year. In 2012, the Boston Globe named the Green Hills one of the ten best family friendly hikes in New England. In addition to hiking, responsible mountain biking, snowmobiling, hunting and fishing are enjoyed on the land.
The Nature Conservancy intends to add between 3 and 5 miles of new multi-use recreation trails, including a new southern trailhead for increased public access. The Conservancy's plan is to connect the existing Green Hills trail system with trails on the addition – providing visitors with new opportunities to explore the varied landscapes and forests of the Green Hills area.
"The Nature Conservancy works to protect landscapes for the benefit of people and nature," remarked Zankel. "We invite the public to come onto our land and experience nature in their own way – whether it's hiking, bird watching, hunting or fishing – the value of this project is the connection between the land and the community. Our hope is that by protecting it and ensuring that it remains open and accessible, more people will use it and appreciate all that nature has to offer."
Since 1961, The Nature Conservancy has helped to protect over 280,000 acres of land in New Hampshire by utilizing sound conservation science, developing innovative strategies, and working collaboratively with a wide variety of public and private partners. The Conservancy's mission is to protect the lands and waters on which all life depends.
The Nature Conservancy is a leading conservation organization working around the world to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends.

Today I received my bras. from your company and they were much too small. I called your company , about returning them for a larger size, and had the good fortune to get Kristina (R-73) to help me. She was so nice and helpful. That's rare today with most people. Just thought you should know. She's a keeper.
I wanted to commend "Neil, T44″, for his superior phone skills and customer service. I am a second time purchaser of Genie Bras, and had a problem with the first order. Neil was professional and so very helpful…taking the hassle out of the whole thing. Thanks for a great product, but even more thanks for having Neil help make the transactions effortless.
I am writing to you to let you know the great customer service your agent Kyle – operator T05 has been… I ordered the Healthmaster then I was unhappy about all the upselling ( which I still would do away with) Anyway Kyle did a super job of walking me through the situation and coming up with a plan that made me HAPPY. I am enjoying the HealthMaster so Thank you and thank Kyle.

On September 5, 2012, Einstein held its annual Stethoscope for First-Year Students: Becoming a Doctor Ceremony to mark an important milestone for the class of 2016. The doctors-in-training, who begin the physical diagnosis portion of their education, were gathered in Robbins Auditorium to receive an important tool – their stethoscopes.
During this phase of their clinical training, students begin utilizing an interpersonal style of learning that incorporates patients and actors portraying patients. The stethoscopes are symbolic of the connection between doctor and patient that develops during these critical face-to-face interactions.
The evening's program included inspiring talks from a variety of distinguished faculty members, including Dr. Felise Milan, director of the Introduction to Clinical Medicine (ICM) course; Dr. Martha Grayson, senior associate dean of medical education; Dr. Martin Cohen, professor of medicine (cardiology); and Dr. Mimi McEvoy, co-director of the ICM for second-year students.
The highlight of the ceremony was the presence of and presentation by Dr. James Post, a member of Einstein's Alumni Board of Governors and of Einstein's Class of 1997. In delivering the keynote address, Dr. Post – a quadriplegic as a result of an accident at the age of 14 – shared how he was given the chance to study at Einstein when all other medical schools had denied him the opportunity. Dr. Post is currently assistant professor of nephrology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and an attending physician in nephrology at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center. His success is proof that there is more to being a great doctor than the completion of physical tasks.
While he must enlist the aid of a personal assistant to hold his own stethoscope to a patient's chest, Dr. Post listens to the heart of the patient, and listens to the patient's story. He told students, "The act of listening to each individual is one of the greatest tools a doctor has in properly analyzing and diagnosing a patient."
At the ceremony's conclusion, the Class of 2016 received their stethoscopes, which were donated by Einstein alumni members. And with this precious tool in hand, they can begin to learn from and to connect with patients.

VALPARAISO, Ind. - Valaraiso's Tyler Deetjen threw a complete game and limited the Butler baseball team to four hits and seven baserunners as the Crusaders edged the Bulldogs 4-2 on Saturday afternoon. All four of Valpo's runs came in the bottom of the 1st inning.
Junior Radley Haddad walked and scored in the 2nd and freshman Eric Stout scored on a Jack Dillon sac fly. That was the extent of BU's offense as Deetjen pitched a brilliant game. He struck out seven and at one point retired 19 of 20 batters.
Butler starter Dom Silvestri kept his team in the game, bouncing back from a rough first inning to go 7.0 strong frames. Silvestri allowed six hits and struck out four. After the Crusaders struck for four runs in the bottom of the 1st, Silvestri pitched six shutout innings. Only one Valpo player reached third base the rest of the day.
Butler and Valparaiso will play a doubleheader Sunday, April 22. Left-handers Brad Schnitzer and Stout are scheduled to pitch for Butler. The first game is set for a 12 p.m. Eastern time start.

Whether it is delivered through cigarettes, cigars, or chewing tobacco, nicotine remains another widely used addictive drug in today's society and is considered the most heavily used addictive drug in the US (National Institute on Drug Abuse & Addiction). Despite everything we know about nicotine, millions of Americans continue to use it on a daily basis. Some experts have even been so bold as to label nicotine as a pediatric problem, with 66% of adolescent smokers wanting to quit and 70% indicating regret for ever beginning to smoke. (George H Gallup International Institute, 1992, National Center for Health Statistics, Health Consequences of Smoking: Nicotine Addiction). At VMI, we encourage cadets to stop using tobacco and nicotine and help them to be nicotine and tobacco free. Each year the Cadet Peer Educators host a 'tobacco quit challenge' in which cadets can enroll and be supported, facilitated, and rewarded for a quit attempt. The quit challenge lasts up to one month and rewards the cadets weekly with incentives per week of cessation.
When smoked or chewed, nicotine attaches to acetylcholine receptors to signal the release of Dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Once nicotine binds with these receptors, the body immediately reacts by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing.
While dopamine release is a normal part of bodily function, smoking or dipping signal an excess release of dopamine, causing the user to experience pleasure, which is one of the main reasons for the addictive nature of nicotine. Studies have shown a notable difference in the levels of MAO B (monoamine oxidase), an enzyme responsible for breaking down dopamine, between smokers and nonsmokers.
The American Legacy Foundation is a foundation that is dedicated to creating a world for young people where they feel supported and encouraged to be tobacco and nicotine free. The site helps develop programs that address the effects of tobacco use.The American Legacy Foundation
Ready to Quit? This site has a comprehensive plan geared towards tobacco cessation, created by the Mayo Clinic and the American Legacy Foundation. Become an Ex - Relearn Life without Cigarettes

This week's MTV PUSH Artist Of The Week is Two Door Cinema Club. Faithful Buzzworthy readers will be familiar with the boys from Two Door Cinema Club. They're a lovely Northern Irish trio who make indie-pop that sidles up nicely next to Phoenix and Peter, Bjorn & John. We premiered their charismatic, swingin' '60s-themed "What You Know" video and revealed some incredible videos from their "Live At MTV" performance.
To get more intimately acquainted with Two Door Cinema, we have a great Buzzworthy video interview with the boys. In it, Two Door Cinema Club talk about songwriting (their craft and trade), Ireland (their home), Phoenix (the band), their music videos (which are awesome)… and much more.
Plus, watch Two Door Cinema Club's acoustic performances of "I Can Talk," "Something Good Can Work," "Undercover Martyn" and "What You Know" from their "Live At MTV" gig.
Finally, you can check out a photo gallery of Two Door Cinema Club. And, perhaps most of all, you should definitely check out their Tourist History album, which is out now.
+ Watch Two Door Cinema's live performances after the jump.

Good morning,
We've a support department that must receive big files as attachements. I already increased the max attachement size according to a previous post (increasing the zimbraFileUploadMaxSize and the zimbraMtaMaxMessageSize) to allow 30 MB attachements but still can't received an attachement of 13 MB.
Then, if the message can't be received, is is possible that the support mailbox receive a warning message that says that a mail coming from x has not been delivered due to a too big attachment ?
Thanks a lot for your help and thanks for your great software

What's the excuse this time? When is this pathetic excuse going to retire and leave it to those who want it? Ho-hum, another year another non-factor. What will the excuse be when motocross starts? This guy is plain not all there. But the good news is that he has you all suckered. Which is worse, a lame excuse making, washed up has been or fools that forget to wipe your chins when is he done?
It's always something, isn't it. When is bucket head going to retire and leave the racing to those who really want it. What's the excuse for this pathetic POS?
Just read the update on your knee and all I have to say is the Lord is faithful! I have been praying for your knee since I saw it happen on Sunday at the 4:00 airing. When I saw it happen I just turned away from the tv and stared out the patio door into the nature behind my house (it helped to comfort me until I figured out what I had just seen). At that point I had two decisions, to think the worst and doubt God's favor for you, or to thank Him for His goodness and grace and believe that this wouldn't derail your career again…. I chose to thank Him, trust Him and pray for a miraculous result with your knee. All the time while waiting to get your results I wouldn't believe for one second that this would put you back out the game for a while. I just trusted and believed. And I'm so happy to have read the news on CycleNews.com.
I am so, soooo happy for you man. You've worked so hard and looked so light hearted and optimistic in that video they released with you and Malcolm doing some outdoor riding (the one where you almost lost in on the wheelie that went sideways). Watching that video while waiting for your results tried to get me down, but I wouldn't, I just believed. And to hear that you're going to be good for Vegas! Man! God is good!
Sorry that happened to you man. That was another one of those "what could you do?" situations that could've happened to anyone at anytime. I remember the same thing happened to Ryan right at the end of a season or something, tweaked the knee planting around a turn. But he was out for much longer than you if I remember correctly (just in terms of how long it took for him to get back going).
I couldn't be happier for you and more thankful to the Lord for adding His grace to that situation and not letting it go but so far. Only good things can come from His hand, but when the hand of the enemy gets involved, His grace is there to decide how far things go… and in this situation He saw fit to save your outdoor season chances of dominating and losing all that work that it took to get you back to fully conditioned. Whew.
So great! It's JS7 lining up for the start of the motocross season with a head full of confidence and a heart full of God! Can't wait to see it. Not to discount Vegas, I'm looking forward to see you do your thing there too. Keep praying. Keep seeking to know Him better, that's what life is really all about and He's the only thing that you CAN take with you from down here. Your the best around, nothing's gonna ever keep you down! My prayers always. Peace.
Also, nice to see a great turnout for supercross, it sure wasn't like this in 1991, or any of the races I have been to back then.
Sorry to see you have the knee issue in the final. Hope you will be okay for outdoors, and see you in Unadilla this summer! I hope we in the NYC area made you feel at home.
James…how is the knee? Sorry to see you tweek it during the main, thought for sure you had another podium in the works and possibly win the Toyota.
Keep pushing and I can't wait to see you rock the outdoors!
Your my favorite rider but don't wear a NY shirt in NJ wear a NJ in NJ

What the crap?
Sex Offenders can be held indefinitely? On what basis? And who's call? Doesn't this sound like a bad thing? I'm all for longer and tougher sentences, but once you have served your time, you should be allowed to leave, right?
The reason is that when heartless says something stupid, he really means it and believes it.
They refer to me as an uneducated barbarian. Yes, we are barbarians. We want to be barbarians, it is an honored title to us. We shall rejuvenate the world. This world is near its end.

they should just sit them on top of a greased up spear and let it slide up their anus and into their organs, its very cheap to impale people and u can reuse a spear, we shouldnt spend anything on the death of these guys. they should work in the prison cafeteria until they can afford the means to be executed .05 a day x 100 days = 5 dollars. a cheap rusty piece of metal should only run u a buck or two. why cares about being humane, were they being humane when they decided to rape little kids? no, my point exactly.
Its time for you to be maimed.

We are Kerry. Forty years of experience, 23,000 staff embedded in six continents – all with the same goal: to delight and nourish consumers across the globe with products people enjoy and feel better about.
Based on changing consumer needs, our renewed focus for the future is Taste and Nutrition. This simply means that we create more authentic and delicious taste experiences with the vital feel-good factor provided by nutritional science.

Today we are firmly established as a world leader in the food and drink industry – with operations in 100 sites across six continents.
We have always focused on the dynamics of the food and beverage markets, lifestyle changes and the internationalisation of food tastes. But it was during our modest beginnings as a dairy cooperative in Ireland that we developed our unwavering commitment to producing real and wholesome ingredients.
As we've grown, we have remained steadfastly committed to this early ethos. We always have and always will pride ourselves on delivering delicious, authentic foods and beverages of the highest quality.
We make better tasting and more authentic products that meet vital nutritional needs for people in all parts of the world and at all stages of life.

So I've been looking at physics courses and have decided that I would like to study theoretical physics, however a lot of universities do not offer theoretical physics courses - so I was wondering, is maths and physics a suitable alternative - or will I leave uni lacking in knowledge in both fields ? (Which is important if I want to go into research). Thanks guys, any help appreciated.
Physics or Maths and Physics
|Posted on
|AQA GCSE physics P1 unofficial mark scheme
The general Physics courses will almost always allow you to specialise in theoretical options in your later years.
Theoratical physics is a best course as it not only covers the physics but also covers the higher level PDEs. Have you checked Edinburgh, leeds, ucl & kcl?

Maths and Physics shouldn't leave you too short, but the joint ones often, to an extent, leave you a bit short in the most specialized areas at least. I would personally recommend you go for either theoretical physics, straight physics or maths as opposed to maths and physics. In a straight physics degree there should be plenty of options for taking theoretical modules later on (3rd and 4th year mainly, maybe 2nd as well), likewise in maths there will often be some physics based modules for you to move into. There's no shortage of theoretical physics degrees though, so unless you're looking at a specific couple of unis that you want to go to, you shouldn't have an issue in finding one at a uni you like.
Maths and physics are close enough for you to not be losing out too much (degrees like physics and music for example are further apart so you miss out on some things), but maths degrees and physics degrees are still very different, so you wont be able to cover the whole of either. It might be worth looking up the unis with theoretical physics, and then to supplement that choice, get the core physics courses at unis you like, and have a look at the options in later years for theoretical modules.
Thanks all, and yes I think that I will be going for pure and theoretical.

FRESNO, Calif. -- Fresno State swimming and diving won just four of the 16 events on Saturday afternoon in a 161-131 dual meet loss to Mountain West Conference rival San Jose State at the Aquatics Center.
The `Dogs honored their four seniors - Brittany Buna, Michelle Dockendorf, Brooke Fuller and Hannah Prigge - in a ceremony before the meet started.
Prigge, the school-record holder in the 1 and 3-meter dives, won both dives on Saturday with a 333.30 on the 3-meter and then a 320.90 in the 1-meter. She will enter the MW Championships ranked as the top diver on the platform, the No. 2 diver on the 1-meter and the No. 4 diver on the 3-meter.
Fresno State received event wins from Leah Hatayama and Lucy Titchin. Hatayama won the 50 Freestyle in 23.98 seconds, beating the Spartans' Erika Harvey and Alysha Bush, who ranked fifth and seventh in the Mountain West, respectively. Titchin won the 200 Freestyle in 1:53.08.
Fuller, in her last home meet, finished second in the 200 Free (1:54.46) and was also part of the 200 Free Relay team that finished second with a time of 1:37.57. Dockendorf finished fourth in the 100 Breaststroke (1:07.83), third in the 200 IM (2:11.50) and fourth in the 200 Breaststroke (2:25.58).
"We swam really well today," Fresno State head coach Jeanne Fleck said. "We did just what we needed to do to get ready for conference in a couple weeks."
The `Dogs will be off for the next two weekends before they head to San Antonio, Texas, February 19-22 for the Mountain West Conference Championships.

Braxton Family Values: Tension Between Towanda And Tamar Braxton Continues
November 29, 2013 03:00 PM by Stephanie Gustafson
If there's one thing we're truly thankful for, it's the continued drama on Braxton Family Values! Last night, WeTV had the good sense to air a new episode of BFV, which, thanks to the continued rift between Towanda and Tamar Braxton, offered plenty in terms of entertainment value. What spurred the sisters' latest feud?
Tamar Braxton has been busy making a name for herself in the world of showbiz, and thus far, she's made plenty of headway with a hot Christmas album dubbed Winter Loversland. The entire Braxton family is working hard to support Tamar's endeavors…well, that is, everyone except Towanda Braxton. During last night's episode of Braxton Family Values, Towanda had the nerve to ditch out on a very important rehearsal — one that Tamar had hoped all her siblings would attend!
Of course, most of the Braxton clan did show up for Tamar's big rehearsal. But the singer simply could not focus on all the Braxton love when one of her beloved sisters was missing. Particularly when, from the sound of it, Towanda had already made a commitment to the event. Tamar made a point of questioning anyone and everyone on Towanda's whereabouts, but to no avail.
Although she had no idea what had happened to her sis, Traci Braxton did observe that Towanda and Tamar had endured quite a bit of tension in the past few weeks. And Traci has absolutely no interest in acting the mediator, explaining, "None of us want to get in the middle of that, no sir!"
Many a Braxton Family Values fan views this Towanda vs Tamar feud as a simple case of jealousy on Towanda's part. What do you think? Sound off in the comments section below!

I think it's only for ratings. The more drama they have, the more people will tune in to watch & that's how they'll secure another season. Personally, I think they are a bunch of losers, wanna be stars (except for tamar & toni. Although she's a has been, I still listen to her music). The other 3 need to get a life & stop acting like they can rock expensive bag & shoes they really can't afford.

Tamar seems obsessed about being similar of having just as much achievements as THE ONE AND ONLY BEYONCE', how can her sister hate on her when she biting off the next woman in the spot she can only dream of being in? I take Towanda's side because we don't know everything, and it seems to me Tamar's attitude is waaay over the top maybe her sister feels the same or her little tiny corner of fame has gotten to her head, she should be humble. there are plenty of scenes where Tamar presents her life as if she's actually better than her damn sisters. she's a mess, snapping her neck, alwys loud smh pipe that shit down. Queen Bey didn't even have to act like that, she has talent style and she's good-hearted.
CATCH UP TAMAR, NEXT YEAR WE'LL BE LIKE TAMAR WHO..her whole presentation is sloppy and loud!!

It's all about Jelousy. Towanda wants what vince and tamar have. Its been obvious for a while that she is angry and jealous that tamar is not struggling like her and has a man that provides for her. Towanda and her husband have consistenly thrown barbs at Vince and Tamar. Its all about jealousy.. Towanda needs to be herself and stop trying to live so far above her means.

I think it is jealousy on Towanda's part.You can see it clear as day. When the show first started airing they got along and as time went on it was towanda hating on everything about Tamar. She's too loud..ok she is loud but guess what she's your sister and you already knew that, for the last 30 years of your life so why is it different now. All of a sudden they started hating on Vince but when he was Toni's manager they all loved him. Now they calling velcro. well i believe if my husband took care of me and loved me EVEN THOUGH I'M LOUD as everyone likes to point out, I would be velcroed to him too. Dont get made Towanda because Andre is the babysitter that you use him for.

Towanda holds everything in Tamar lets it out. They have been beefing for a minute but the anger is built up in Towanda She needs to let it go. She is holding all the anger in her life and focusing on Tamar.

I will first admit that Tamar can be over the top… but, as far as her trying to be Beyonce, Beyonce ain't even Beyonce. She stole a lot of her stage presence and look from, just to name one of many, shakira… as for Towanda, she is jealous, its obvious. And in these current episodes she, at times,tries to act like Tamar. She hates her because she can't be her or have what she has. Also, I disagree with this being for show. The resentment that she has for Tamar is, clearly, not an act…

Toni is over and not facing reality about her music career. Not the star that she thinks she is anymore.Towanda is jealous of Tamar's continued success and being married to a successful man like Vince. Trina is living in a fantasy about her music. Traci is real and so is Tamar

Towanda is clearly jealous of Tamar. She did not call her sister and congratulate her on achieving #1? Where dey do dat at??? Towanda is taking on a new persona this season and it's not attractive. She is doing the most-nude photos?? Really, have several. While Tamar can be too much, she actually has the talent to match. Towanda needs to get a real man to complement her. Mr. Andre is not him, okay?? Towanda was much more likeable in previous seasons. This season-not so much. As for Toni being a has been=NEVER!!! Toni is a classic-always in style. If she never has another hit-it's okay-she has enough already. She has skills-can SANG her head off!! Her talent cannot be compared to her sisters–they cannot touch her!! Trina needs to go back to the drawing board. Her speaking voice is SOOO phony…what kind of accent does she have?? NO GAWD, Trina. Traci…I'll just leave her alone…..Ms. Evelyn, however, is the QUEEN OF IT ALL!!!!

Towanda is soooo jealous of Tamar she can't see straight. tamar.is absolutely right when she called towanda a bully. She even bullied trina into doing the dance that she wanted to do. trina called her on it when she acknowledged towanda's tone when she talks to get her way. she's too scared to say that in front of the other sisters. she doesn't want to get kicked out the club. I think there is a bit of jealousy with the rest of the girls, too.they all enjoy seeing tamar's feeling hurt…even toni. why couldn't they all just get up and go with tay to the arsenio hall show…they weren't doing anything. shade!!!! toni fist-pumping…she should be ashamed.

Towanda is painfully jealous of Tamar….and can you blame her…Tamar is much more successful, stable, and prettier than Towanda..Towanda has nothing going for herself…she is broke, ugly, unsuccessful, and got a broke ass husband.

All the girls came on the show to boost their careers. Tamar was just loud enough to stand out. I feel sorry for Towanda because she does have a deadbeat husband and could probably do much better by herself. But I don't think she is a bully. Tamar is the bully. When the show first started, I couldn't believe they would let her push them around and talk so direspectfully to them. I think they are all just fed up with her. Yes, her star is shining the brightest right now, but she hasn't been around long enough to look down on anybody. I also don't like the remarks she makes about what she wouldn't do and where she wouldn't go and what she has. If everyone remembers in the first season, she couldn't even buy a pair of sunglasses she wanted because her "husband" wouldn't pay for them. He had a tight reign on her and it didn't seem like she could just go and buy what she wanted. So she should just enjoy her success right now and be nicer to her sisters before her light starts to dim.

Where does somebody get the notion that Toni is jealous of Tamar? Let me get this straight…(1)No one would even know who Tamar is if it wasn't for Toni. (2)Toni is a R&B legend…Toni has 6 Grammy Awards, 7 American Music Awards, 9 Billboard Music Awards,and has sold 66 million records worldwide. (3)Toni is attractive and she also has a pleasant personality..
Tamar has a song that is at the top of the charts of itunes. I don't know about you, but I have never heard of a itune music award. Tamar had been turned down or dropped by 5 record companies before Vince (who Toni introduced her to) came along. Tamar can be attractive, but too much plastic surgery. And Tamar is selfish, loud and sometimes obnoxious.
Now you tell me what in the world would Toni be jealous of when Tamar is trying to get where Toni has already been and back. And I don't necessarily think that the other sisters are jealous of Tamar. Tamar's head got big when she started to get some fame and she became different. She came off as if she had gotten soo big and they have just become sick of the way she acts.

Yep…the girls are all fantastic in their own right. It is obvious to a blind man that Towanda is jealous of her little sister Tamar. Tamar has worked very hard in trying to jump-start her career. While she is going on shows promoting herself, her sisters are shopping and eating at restaurants. It is very easy to be jealous of anyone who has a supportive husband, new baby, fame and money. Towanda's hubby is a scrub who has successfully torn down his wifes self-esteem, which is why Tamar's new success is a hard pill for her to swallow.
Lindy Says:
January 23rd, 2014 at 7:29 pm
Towanda is a bully who controls Trina and Traci who does not have any backbone. She even controls her so-called husband and has a true hatred for Tamar. In one episode when Tamar wanted them to go away for some "sister" time, Traci said she would go. However, when Towanda said that she was busy, then Trina and Traci were busy. Towanda evidently needs some counseling because her self esteem is very low, anytime you have to get naked on the show to make yourself feel better.
Elise Says:
January 27th, 2014 at 3:48 pm
Towanda ain't jealous of no Tamar. She and the other sisters are just tired of Tamar being so over the top, loud, spoiled-by them, VERY self indulgent. It's apparent things have always been about focusing on Tamer, and making sure she was always included when they were growing up. I'm some of you writing probably have a family member that probably acts just like her. I really feel sorry for Vince. He is such a nice, laid-back, easy going guy. Then here she comes; all loud, obnoxious, entitled, all about me attitude. I think her behavior would probably play out with a lot of you guys too. Regardless of whether she is your sister or not. Tamar needs to settle down, tone down talking over people and act like a responsible, adult mom.

It continues that Towanda is EXTREMELY JEALOUS of Tamar, and it's not a good look!! On tonight's episode 2/13/2014, she called Tamar fat…really Towanda??? Resorting to name calling? Now, how is it that Towanda refused to congratulate Tamar on her accomplishments and then when she gets an invitation to appear on "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire" she is so overly ecstatic?? For real? Towanda continues to show her jealousy for Tamar. It was okay as long as Toni was the only one receiving fortune and fame, however, once Tamar became so successful-it's clearly a major problem for Towanda. She is straight hating on her sister-WOW!! Tamar continues to be the same loud and over-the-top person that Towanda has accused her of being before the #1 record, Soul Train Awards, Grammy Nominations, talk show and many appearances. So why is Towanda so mad? Why not just go and record some music-can't she sing, too? The sisters continue to mimic Tamar about her being booked-however, that is a fact-she is booked. She is everywhere. Towanda stop hating and start congratulating!! Where is the love??

Towanda is so JEALOUS of Tamar it is sickening. If Towanda was out of the picture, there would be no problem with the others getting along. Towanda has that serious "hateful" jealousy against Tamar. She really needs to go to therapy. Towanda was so far off base by telling Tamar that she can't help that she is skinnier than her. What the hell? Tamar was shocked and so was Trina. I don't blame Tamar for walking away. Honestly, I can't stand Towanda, because if it were left up to her she would never support Tamar. Every time something good happens to Tamar, Towanda has a negative comment. When Kordell starts abusing her, I bet it will be Tamar to come to her rescue. Towanda breaks Tamar's heart all the time.

Tamar needs to forget her jealous, envious sisters. Jealousy is a real emotion that has been with us since the beginning of time. Tamar you need to think about self and move beyond what your sisters are talking about lest it holds you back. Towanda is a Wa na Be. Toni is a has been. This is your time to shine. If you pay ANY attention to your other sisters, you will take the back seat that they want you to take. Toni is in the pass. You are the now. Let them kiss your a$$. It's no longer about sisters. It is about YOU! Make it happen….

Sisters, bull freakin crap. They give diddly squat about you otherwise they'd be there supporting you. You make yourself look weak caring about what they think. It's so obvious they have ganged up against you. It is no longer about sisters. It's about your life. They need to get their lives. I have no more to say, if you continue to make yourself look weak and beg then to get on board with you. They need to beg you. This will make you or break you. It's no more sister time. It's YOU!!!!

I come from a family of six sisters and we have had our issues and disagreements throughout the years. But through it all our love always shine through. It is quite oblivious that Towanda's jealous towards Tamar has turned into pure hate. It actually is painful to watch their show now because if they were just friends Tamar could just stay away but because that's her sister and their family was once close, she has to be around her. I felt uneasy to see Towanda hold Tamar's baby when it quite clear she has ill feelings towards her. Tamar's personality has always been over the top, so what has change? Her fame,and with that comes family jealousy….some members worse than others. So sad cause as a family they need to revisit…what does it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul. The soul of their family.

Towanda need to grow up, and let Tamar have her moment. This is a time she should be happy for her sister and not hating on her. Towanda what GOD has for Tamar is for Tamar and what he has for you is for you. Get over it.

I think Tamar is wrong for how she has been treating her sisters. I also think Towanda is wrong for how she has been treating Tamar too. Like they say two wrongs dont make a right. I think what Tamar is going thru with wanting her sisters around is good for because it might make Tamar a little humble. Tamar needs to know you can just treat people any kind of way and except nothing to happen back. Tamar also need to know how to be humble but just because you on top today you lose everything tomorrow. God is in control and people think just because they have money, looks, and popularity that they all of that but God has a way of knocking you down. As far as husbands, Vince is not all of that!!!! What people are seeing that is good at providing for his family but people ignore how disrespectful he can be to tamar.
