Incidence and Nature of Child Labor
The Yemeni Central Statistics Office and Understanding Children's Work (UCW) estimated that 12 percent of children ages 6 to 14 were working in Yemen in 1999.[4245] The vast majority of children work in agriculture without wages.[4246] Children living in rural areas are more than five times as likely to work than children in urban areas, and rural child workers constitute more than 90 percent of all child workers in Yemen.[4247] Children also work as street vendors, beggars, domestic servants, and in the fishing, leather, construction, and automobile repair sectors.[4248] Children are trafficked out of the country to work as street beggars, domestic help, or as camel jockeys in oil rich Gulf States.[4249] There are some reports that children are involved in armed conflicts in the country.[4250]
The Constitution guarantees free and compulsory education to all Yemeni citizens.[4251] Education is compulsory for 9 years for children ages 6 to 15 years.[4252] In 2001, the gross primary enrollment rate was 81.0 percent (64.3 percent for girls and 97.0 percent for boys).[4253] Gross and net enrollment ratios are based on the number of students formally registered in primary school and therefore do not necessarily reflect actual school attendance. Recent primary attendance rates are not available for Yemen.[4254] Child labor interferes with school attendance, particularly in the agriculture and domestic service sectors.[4255]
Child Labor Laws and Enforcement
In 2002, the Government of Yemen passed the Yemeni Child Rights Law, which set the minimum legal working age at 14 years.[4256] The law prohibits the employment of children under the age of 15 in industrial work. However, there are no restrictions, regardless of age, on children working in family enterprises.[4257] Yemeni law defines a young person as someone below the age of 15.[4258] Under the Labor Code of 1995, a young person may work up to 7 hours per day and must be allowed a 60-minute break after 4 hours of labor. A young person may work a maximum of 42 hours per week.[4259] An employer must secure the approval of a child's guardian and notify the Ministry of Labor before employing a young person. The Labor Code prohibits hazardous working conditions for children. Overtime, night work, and work on official holidays are prohibited for young persons. Moreover, employers must grant every youth a 30-day annual leave for every 12-month period of labor completed. Neither the child nor the parent may waive this annual leave.[4260] The Labor Code further establishes the minimum wage for children to be not less than two-thirds that of an adult.[4261] The 1997 amendment to the Labor Code increased the fines to a minimum of 5,000 riyals (USD 28) and added a penalty of imprisonment for up to 3 months.[4262] Children under age 18 are prohibited from entering the government armed forces.[4263]
The Ministry of Labor's Child Labor Unit is responsible for enforcing child labor laws.[4264] While there are laws in place to regulate employment of children, the government's enforcement of these provisions is limited, especially in remote areas.[4265] The government also has not enforced the laws requiring 9 years of compulsory education for children.[4266] Yemeni law prohibits trafficking in persons.[4267] The government prosecuted two child traffickers in 2003.[4268]
Current Government Policies and Programs to Eliminate the Worst Forms of Child Labor
The Government of Yemen is proactively promoting policies to curb child labor by implementing policies outlined in its Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper, which was designed to complement and support the government's efforts to alleviate poverty.[4269] With support from USDOL, the Government of Yemen is implementing a national program in cooperation with ILO-IPEC that aims to withdraw child workers from the worst forms of child labor, mainstream them into non-formal and formal education programs, provide them pre-vocational and vocational training, and offer them counseling, health care, and recreational activities.[4270] In 2004, the USDOL funded a new USD 3 million ILO-IPEC project to provide continued support for country activities to combat exploitive child labor in Yemen.[4271] Also in 2004, the government began participating in a new USD 8 million sub-regional project funded by USDOL to combat child labor through education in Lebanon and Yemen.[4272] In collaboration with the Mayor of Sana'a, ILO-IPEC began providing remedial education and vocational training in 2003 in a rehabilitation center for street children who are victims of child labor.[4273] The Ministry of Labor worked with trade unions, chambers of commerce, and the Ministry field offices to gather information about child labor throughout Yemen.[4274]
Although Yemen has the second lowest literacy rate for women in the Middle East[4275] and suffers from pronounced gender disparity in enrollment rates, the government is committed to improving overall basic education and bridging the gender gap. Gender disparity in enrollment rates in Yemen is 31 percent.[4276] The government's abolition of primary school fees for girls was designed to eliminate one of the main obstacles to education.[4277] The Government of Yemen and the World Bank are implementing a Basic Education Expansion Project from 2000-2006 to give the highest priority to primary education, particularly focusing on increased access to education for girls in remote rural areas, improve the quality of basic education, build the Ministry of Education's capacity to implement and monitor basic education reforms, and support other national education sector strategies.[4278] The Government of Yemen is receiving funding from the World Bank and other donors under the Education for All Fast Track Initiative, which aims to provide all children with a primary school education by the year 2015.[4279]
The Ministry of Education is taking steps to eliminate child labor by developing educational support programs, lowering school dropout rates of working children, and raising public awareness of the relationship between education and work.[4280] UNICEF has been working with the government to promote education through a number of programs, including support for the government's Community School Project, which implements an integrated approach to address the gender disparity at the primary school level.[4281] USAID is supporting a USD 4.7 million project to increase access to and improve the quality of basic education at the school level.[4282]
[4245] This estimate was made by UCW based on the Yemen Poverty Monitoring Survey of 1999, though this calculation is probably an underestimate. The average workweek of working children of all ages in Yemen is 38.5 hours. See Understanding Children's Work (UCW), Understanding Children's Work in Yemen, prepared by ILO, UNICEF, and World Bank, March 2003, 1-2, 14; available from http://www.ucw-project.org/resources/pdf/yemen/Report_Yemen_draft.pdf. Although information reported last year in The U.S. Department of Labor's 2003 Findings on the world Forms of Child Labor indicated that 18.5 percent of children ages 10-14 were working in 2001, this estimate was based on a different age range and source of data. The UCW data is more believed to reflect the situation of working children in Yemen more accurately.

According to the 1999 labor force survey of over 19,000 Yemeni households, the primary reason that children dropped out of school both in urban and rural areas was the household's inability to pay for education costs. School-related costs also ranked second among reasons why girls abandoned education; the primary reason cited was household attitudes toward girls' education.

Toe River Arts Council Studio Tours
Nov 30 1-4 pm
Dec 1st 10-5 pm
Dec 2nd 10-5 pm
The Studio Tour event, sponsored by the Toe River Arts Council (TRAC), is held twice a year: on the second weekend in June and the first weekend in December. These self-guided free tours offer the visitor an opportunity to search out the professional artists and craftspeople working in the coves and hollows of the two rural mountain counties. Many stops on the map will showcase more than one artist.
Art lovers create their own tours, travel at their own pace, and stop for lunch on their own schedule. A TRAC Studio Guide, available in early May, shows the locations of the studios and galleries on the tour along with pictures of artwork from each participant, five maps, and a special advertisers' section that lists a few local lodging places, restaurants, special events in the area, and other local business tour supporters. The Studio Guide, along with arrowed Tour signs aid travelers in finding their destinations.
Over 100 artisans and galleries open their doors and invite the public. It is a rare opportunity to visit the actual workplaces. From world-class to emerging… glass blowers, potters of every description, wood turners, basket makers, printers, painters, fiber artists, photographers, sculptors, jewelers, metal workers, and more. No wonder it is known as the "Premier Open Studio Tour" in the Country.
A number of the glass artists are on the tour. You can get a map at the toe River Arts Council or down load it from their site. www.toeriverartscouncil.com
The year 2012 marks the 50th anniversary of the birth of the Studio Glass Movement.
The Toe River Valley, home to the father of studio glass Harvey Littleton and over 50 other glass artists, will celebrate by hosting a weekend of events September 20-23, happening in and around Burnsville, Spruce Pine, Bakersville, Micaville, and Penland, North Carolina.
It will be a great weekend to learn about the glass community that has settled around Penland School and enjoy the beauty of the Toe River Valley.
The weekend will include studio tours, glass blowing demonstrations, a gallery hop of glass exhibitions, including A History of Glass in the Toe Valley exhibit at the Toe River Arts Council in Spruce Pine, and gala evening featuring a lecture and book signing of A Life in Glass by author Joan Falconer Byrd at the Burnsville Town Center.
We hope you will join us for a weekend celebration of studio glass in the beautiful Toe River Valley!

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars' Lucy Hale Reveals What Makes Her Happy (PHOTO)
What makes us happy is binge-watching Pretty Little Liars from Season 1 and looking for old clues that point to Ezra being "A." Believe it or not, though, Lucy Hale's (Aria) guilty pleasure is a bit different.
The PLL actress took to Instagram, posting a photo of two Ben & Jerry's ice cream pints: Jimmy Fallon's Late Night Snack and Red Velvet Cake. Along with the pic, she wrote, "I'm happy."
Now, if only we combined our PLL watching with Lucy's sweet treat, we'd have the perfect night! After all, if Aria doesn't already know that Ezra is "A," she's really going to need some of that comfort food back in Rosewood.
Speaking of which, showrunner Marlene King weighed in on the subject, giving some insight into the Aria "A" team debate. When asked by Entertainment Weekly if Aria and Ezra are working together, she said, "Everybody is a suspect in Rosewood. We say that a lot, but it's true. Everybody's a suspect in Rosewood. And we always say things aren't as they appear to be. We have fun with that theme a lot."
What do you think will happen when the show returns? Do you have tons of theories, or is the topic giving you more brain freeze than those Ben & Jerry's containers? Weigh in below!
Catch the Pretty Little Liars Season 4 Halloween special on Tuesday, October 22, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

Trainer arrested on suspected DUI
The trainer for a leading Kentucky Derby contender has been arrested outside Los Angeles on suspicion of drunken driving.
Julio Canani, who trains The Pamplemousse, was released from jail yesterday after his arrest a day before in Sierra Madre, about 15 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles.
Sierra Madre police say officers pulled over the 70-year-old trainer for a traffic violation. He failed to pass a field sobriety test and was booked at the Pasadena City Jail.
The Pamplemousse on Saturday won the Sham Stakes at Santa Anita Park in record time, solidifying his status as a Kentucky Derby contender.
Canani was released on $5,000 bail with a promise to appear on May 6.
The North Carolina woman convicted of fatally shooting her football-player husband is scheduled to be released from prison.
Department of Correction spokesman George Dudley said Deidra Lane is expected to leave the Raleigh Correctional Center for Women at 9 a.m. today.
The 33-year-old Lane served about six years in prison for voluntary manslaughter in the 2000 death of her estranged husband, Fred Lane. He played with the Carolina Panthers for three years and had been traded to the Indianapolis Colts before his death.
During her trial in 2003, prosecutors described Lane as an abusive woman who killed her husband for insurance money. Defense attorneys described a battered wife who killed in self defense.
The California Supreme Court has decided not to rule on whether the San Francisco 49ers can pat down fans before they enter the team's home stadium. Instead the justices are sending the issue back to the lower court to gather more evidence.
Two season-ticket holders sued the team in 2005 after the 49ers instituted the policy as part of the NFL's anti-terrorism security efforts. Two lower courts sided with the 49ers and dismissed the lawsuit.
A disorderly conduct charge against Denver Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall has been dismissed in an Atlanta court, according to his Denver-based lawyer, Harvey Steinberg.
LeBron James scored 42 points, Mo Williams got 17 of his 30 in the fourth quarter, and the Cleveland Cavaliers rallied from an 11-point deficit in the final minutes to beat host Miami 107-100. Dwyane Wade had 41 points, nine assists and seven rebounds for the Heat ... Nenad Krstic scored a season-high 26 points, rookie Russell Westbrook added 17 as part of his first career triple double, and the undermanned Thunder beat the Dallas Mavericks 96-87 in Oklahoma City ... David West scored 30 points with 10 rebounds to lead the New Orleans Hornets to their fifth straight win, 98-91 over host Philadelphia Tony Parker had 26 points and 10 assists, and the San Antonio Spurs pulled away in the third quarter with four three-pointers from Michael Finley to beat the host Clippers 106-78.
Andrew Conboy, suspended by Michigan State this season for an attack on a Michigan player, signed a three-year contract with the Canadiens.
Dallas Stars forward Steve Ott was suspended one game by the NHL for attempting to injure Anaheim's Travis Moen during a fight Saturday.
The Carolina Hurricanes will be without Jussi Jokinen because the forward has returned to Finland following the death of his father.
Churchill Downs says it is implementing sweeping new safety changes before this year's Kentucky Derby.
The track said in a news release that it will now give winning horses a "supertest" for more than 100 types of drugs, far more than previously required. It also is extending the safety tests for track surfaces, banning certain types of whips and prohibiting horses younger than 24 months old from racing.
Field sizes in many races will also be limited to 10 horses.

The problem about BBoY it's the boss xD
The heroic one it's useless for progression, so probably we will use KTT or BBOY depends which one we get first with higher ilvl, but indeed the BBOY now looks better than KTT with both in the same ilvl.
PS: I'm really glad that BBOY or any trinket have Trinket this tier. Damn, Wushy just make me sad when seeing all the hit.

Crunching through the numbers of the gear ratios I had a little epiphany this morning.
If every time I shift a chain ring, I do a simultaneous and opposite shift on the rear cog (double shifting?). That applies to either up or down shifting. That way the change in the cadence will be much smoother and not as abrupt.
Trying it out on my ride this morning, the shifting worked flawlessly.
This seems so simple and intuitive, it made me wonder if everyone is already doing it and I am just a little bit slow. Or are most people not bothered by the change in cadence and I am making a big deal over a non-issue?
On another note, can the DI2 system be programmed for this? It would be ideal if the buttons on either hand can be programmed to shift up and down and not linked to the individual derailleur. Can the gear choices and double shifting be made by the computer? Or does this still require a software hack at this point? It seems to me that this is an easily programmable advantage of the electronic system over the traditional mechanical system.

You'll want to closely observe the dynamics and interactions between
your new co-workers, Hoover says. Most offices have some form of a
gossip, a teacher's pet, and the silent-but-effective type, among
others. "Before you get too chummy with anyone, take a few weeks to
figure out who's playing which role at your office," she adds.

10/01/2008/12:16 pm, Marsh Harbour, Abacos
We had a most delightful sail across from Great Guana to Marsh Harbour on Tuesday. Steve Dodge's book gave excellent waypoints again, and a very clear diagram of the approach. It was tempting to just tack back and forth out in the Sea of Abaco, enjoying the breeze and the colours, but we had things to do.
We anchored just north of the centre of the harbour - and there was lots of space around us. The water here is not inviting to anchor diving, but the bottom is muddy so we were pretty sure our CQR would hold - and it has. The first order of business was to go find that generator - and get to a bank to procure the money for it. There are several banks here; Scotiabank obligingly dispensed some cash into Jim's pockets and after he talked with Terrance Roberts on the phone, Terrance obligingly traded that cash for a neat little 47 lb Honda 2000 generator. Easy come- easy go!
The evening's entertainment was a chili cook-off sponsored by the Royal Marsh Harbour Yacht Club. Jan and Cam from Te Amor had invited several of us to go as their guests and when I called Bob Mitchell - the RMHYC Commodore to let him know we were coming, he graciously seconded the invitation. A rainshower blew in just as we were about to leave the boat so I took a couple of pictures of the rainbow(s), we waited to see if there would be any gusts that might dislodge us, and when that didn't happen, we went off to the Abaco Beach Resort where the event was held. The Yacht Club membership is made up of folks who come here to hang out for the winter as well as those who drop in for a few days here and there as they travel around the Bahamas and they are a most welcoming crowd. We met many people whose boats we've seen around in the last few weeks.
Part of our surprise here is geographical. We expected Marsh Harbour to be an unattractive place where we would have a short and strictly functional stay. Yes - the area of banks and grocery stores doesn't have the charm of New Plymouth on Green Turtle Cay, but the marinas and waterfront properties are lovely. We can watch boats coming and going in the harbour, and we can look out across that beautiful green water from many directions - off toward Man-O-War Cay, or back at Great Guana, or around the corner to Hope Town. We can see the towers of the Castle - built by Evans Cottman, the Out Island Doctor - peeking through the trees. The other surprise is the people part - and I should have known enough by now to not be surprised by that! Both locals and visitors have once again been unfailingly friendly, helpful, and fun. I was offered a drive as I walked back to the dinghy dock with grocery bags. A boater asked if we needed directions to laundromat, grocery stores and bakery. When I lost an earring on our walk this morning, a couple driving by stopped and got out to look too, and a walker said she passes that way every day and would keep looking for it.
We hadn't been in the harbour very long before we got a call from Windswept - an Ottawa boat. The last time we had seen them was in Georgia when they were heading out for an outside passage south while we were continuing on the ICW. There are a whole lot of Canadian boats here - and a disproportionately large number of Nova Scotians - some with NS on the sterns of their boats and some from other ports but with their "roots showing" within the first few minutes of a conversation. We Bluenoses sure know where we're from. It feels like old home week!
I took our ship's clock to Derek at Simcoe Jewellers (so named because of the 20 some years they spent on the shore of Lake Simcoe in Canada) on the advice of Patty on the Cruisers net. The cruiser's net is on the VHF radio every morning at 8:15 and consists of weather, news highlights, sports, invitations from local establishments, open mike - for requests and information, and just about anything else that is helpful for the cruising community. It's a terrific service - started by Bob and Patty Toller, and now carried on by Patty and various cruising friends. I asked the question about where we might get our clock fixed and the answer was immediate. Someone else asked if anyone knew if a couple of people were in the area, and again, a boater came up with an immediate answer, "Yes, they are, and you can find them at..." The restaurants tell what specials they have on, the dive shops tell what the water is like and where they are running trips. Readings and speakers and charitable events all get publicized.
The multitalented Browntips cleaned Madcap's bottom and replaced the zinc anode. This is our second replacement since we started - and Browntips said it was ready - and also that the bottom looked in good shape.
Debbie and Bill (Deborah Lea), and Jan and Ed (Windswept) came over for happy hour on Madcap last night and we sipped and nibbled as we swapped stories. This morning, we went for a lovely long walk with Sandi and Steve (Princess) enjoying the views of the water, hearing their stories of how things have changed - or not - in the years they have been coming here. The afternoon disappeared in a series of errands: internet, groceries, battery charging - yes that little generator works just fine.
Tonight we'll be joining new and old friends at a happy hour gathering followed by a visit to Snappas where Jan and Paul (Te Amor) will be singing and playing Bahamian music with Browntips. From all reports, it will be a fine time.
We'll probably move from here tomorrow ... if we feel like it when we get up in the morning!
07/01/2008/10:12 am, Great Guana Cay
The wind dropped on Saturday night; the sun came out and we changed our wardrobe from jeans and fleecies to shorts and t-shirts again. With our batteries charged up, we headed out of Black Sound on Sunday morning. Because we were about 3 hours after high tide and the entrance into the sound is shallow, Jim went first in the dinghy with a hand held depth sounder, and I followed along in Madcap. We must have kissed the bottom a few times but never got stopped and once we were through the channel, we loaded the dinghy, put out a sail and were off to see the Whale.
The Whale is an important piece of geography in this area, because in order to move further south, boats with our draft must go out through the cut between reefs and cay, along the outside of Whale Cay and back in again on the south side of it. It sounds like no big deal but if the wind and wave configuration isn't right, it can be a miserable and even dangerous few miles. Fortunately for us, the combination was just fine. We could see waves breaking on the reefs but there were no whitecaps in the opening so away we went. The swells were about 6-7 feet but there was no chop so we just rose and fell comfortably. We followed the waypoints in Steve Dodge's book carefully and they led us right through with no difficulty.
We had just a short journey to Great Guana Cay and once back inside, we put out a sail and drifted languidly along with the sun over our heads and that amazing blue-green sea below. We dropped our anchor in Fisher's Bay along with about a dozen other boats; Jim went swimming and dove down to push that CQR anchor into the sand. After a reasonable time to make sure it wasn't moving, we dropped the dinghy again and went in search of roast pig. Sunday is Pig Roast day at Nippers - a famous Abacos Bar and we were anxious to check it out. We could hear the music from the dinghy dock and were amused to see that the lane off the main road led toward the cemetery and then took a sharp swing to the right, ending in a compound of ice-cream coloured buildings and patios. A sign at the turn warned us that "The wages of sin is death ..." It seemed a fascinating juxtaposition... and we kept on around the turn to Nippers, returning safely to the boat later in the evening - unlike those who remained at the cemetery!
Fortunately there was pork still available. The pig roast starts at noon and when it is really busy, they have been known to run out by midafternoon. If you are in the neighbourhood - be sure to stop in; the food was delicious and at $20.per person for all you could eat, it seemed very fair. The music was loud 50's and 60's dancin'music. We met up with lots of cruisers - Princess and Kilissa, First Edition and Debra Lea, Celebrian (another Bayfield 36) and at the end of the evening we found Te Amor from Nova Scotia.
The sunset was just amazing, our sleep was reasonably sound and we woke up to find ourselves in exactly the same place! Only a boater can understand the joy that evokes. (Well, maybe there are others who have experienced that joy?!)
Monday passed by in a pleasant series of events. I made a giant western omelet for breakfast and we lingered over coffee and our books. In late morning we set off to explore this part of Great Guana Cay. We passed by a large building with a "Bakery" sign on it. Unfortunately it also displayed a "closed" sign, so I asked a man sitting across the street if he knew when it was open. He said "Yes". I then asked if it opened every day and his reply was, "Sometimes". I figured that was about as much helpful information as I was going to get, so we smiled at each other and Jim and I continued on our way. The question about what day things are open is a practical one. The Post office here is open Mon, Wed and Fri. The Laundromat is never open anymore. The grocery store is open 6 days a week, and I still don't know about the Bakery.
We had a long and luxurious walk on the beach - on the Atlantic side - where the breakers were rolling in and the sand was white and soft. We sat and watched them for awhile -one wave chasing another - big ones often swallowing up smaller ones - footprints made and erased - shells deposited on the sand one minute and swept away the next - everything part of the whole. The whitecaps were brilliant white and the sea was a dozen shades of blue and green and aqua and turquoise.
We met up with Mary Jo, vacationing here from her home in Cape Cod and she ignited in us again the excitement of this trip. It is really such a fine thing - we never get blas� about it, in part because we keep meeting people who say "Good for you!" Another thing Mary Jo and Jim and I saw eye-to-eye on was that there is nothing to be afraid of in the unknown. The directions we take from here, and where we make our landfall after this trip will all unfold in time, and the choices we make will lead us one way or another, but none of them will be wrong. There is immense freedom in this view of a journey, and it bears considering as a metaphor of life as well.
On our walk we met up with other familiar faces, stopped to talk with them, discovered that Jan and Cam of Te Amor know several of our old friends in Annapolis Royal, and got a lesson on spear fishing.
Back on Madcap, the chicken that had been marinating in a spicy lime and ginger sauce for a few hours went into the oven to roast along with some yams. We added a broccoli salad and opened a nice cold white wine for dinner. The wind had come up again so we tucked ourselves in the cabin where it was nice and cozy and went back to our books. Mmmmm ...Mmmm... the end of another dandy day.
We'll head out in the morning to Marsh Harbour.
05/01/2008/10:05 am, Black Sound, Green Turtle Cay
Let's start with the new: the weather has taken a significant change to cool and windy the last few days. It seems hard to believe that on Tuesday, New Year's Day, we were ambling around in t-shirts and drinking lots of liquid to keep hydrated. By Wednesday it had cooled some and we took a very comfortable long walk on the beaches to watch the surf on the Atlantic side and stretch out our legs.
The temperature kept falling and the wind blew harder. The thermometer in the last couple of days has been registering as low as 66 degrees Fahrenheit and the wind has been blowing consistently at 15 - 20 knots with some gusts up to the high 20's. Even inside our protected sound, we pulled and pulled on our mooring ball, swinging this way and that. Madcap is a heavy boat and we were sure giving that thing a workout, so kudos to Rick Sawyer for keeping his moorings in good shape.
Because of the high winds and the fact we've also been plagued by battery problems again (this is the old) we stayed put rather than go up to Manjack for a change of scenery. The power level dropped while we were back in Canada for 12 days and we could not seem to get it up by running the engine. So we were back to the same old solution of tying up and plugging in to get topped up again. The disheartening part of that is that both times the battery charge dropped (now and in early December) something happened to drain the starting battery too. Roger (Stout Wench) spent hours with Jim poring over the system and then used his dinghy as a tug to push us over to a dock. Once the batteries were up to full charge again, he spent more hours and the two of them could not find out what was wrong. Grrr. The good news is that Nancy and John (Panache) discovered a second generator in Marsh Harbour when they went to pick up theirs so we made a quick phone call to reserve it.
We tracked down and fixed a smelly head problem - there was a block in the air vent. We pulled up the floor in the salon and disconnected the vent hose to have a look at it. I thought maybe I would earn brownie points by being the one who crawled into the stern locker, disconnected the hose at that end and blew into it. Unfortunately, Jim got the points because he was holding the end that had been connected to the holding tank when the "stuff" blew out. Blech!! - he kept his cool and deserved the points. I dinghied over to do a load of laundry at the Abaco Yacht Services - enjoying a chinwag with Gail (Jabiru) in the process - and we made some inroads on the rust that appears with regularity on some of the stainless steel.
We also found time to read our books and socialize. Open these days have been Late Nights on Air by Elizabeth Hay, Divisidero by Michael Ondaatje, The Race by Richard North Patterson, Crisis by Robin Cooke - all different and all recommended. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at Macintyre's one day with Sandi and Steve (Princess) and their guest, Baird. (pineapple chicken with peas n'rice and plantains, cracked conch, macaroni, all appeared on various plates and went into various stomachs amid animated conversation. On Friday night, we discovered that folks gather at Dave's - otherwise known as the Liquor Store and Caf�. We had been in for lunch a few times, but hadn't known about the Friday evening gatherings. People started arriving around 5:30, and by 7 the place was packed. We all purchased our bottles of beer or wine or soft drinks there at Liquor Store prices, Dave produced glasses, a few people brought crackers and cheese and the standing room only crowd of locals and cruisers mixed and mingled. Those with wine left in their bottles had a choice of taking them home, or leaving them there for next time.
I talked with delightful Lana who has moved to White Sound. She and her husband cruised in the area for years, made plans to build a house here and then he died. She had a choice of living back in the States near her children but found that she had more of a purposeful life here, so she is staying. Another couple from South Africa has recently moved to New Plymouth. Yang is building a cabinetry business over on the mainland, Toni is gradually getting involved in community activities and their son goes to school in Marsh Harbour. He found a wonderful community of friends from Green Turtle so they decided to make this their home base. Jim and I are always so interested in the adventurous spirit and courage of people and we love these opportunities for conversations with friends old and new.
Pineapples continued to be another interesting stop. Many folks gather there for happy hour between 4 and 6 when the drinks are 2 for 1 and laptops are scattered around on the picnic tables. My "problem" is that I always find someone interesting to talk with and the e-mail and blog-postings take second place.
If the weather is agreeable, we'll slip away on Sunday morning from Green Turtle Cay - our home since early December, and head off to Great Guana Cay. It will bring to an end our long and pleasant visit here and leave us with a perfect place to come back to on the way north in the spring.

As a follow-up to last month's reveal that Tim Burton's Superman might have worn a glowing plastic case, effects designer Steve Johnson's Facebook page has posted some unused concept art from J.J. Abrams' failed attempt and Bryan Singer's debatably-successful attempt at a Man of Steel film. If your dream for a live-action Superman was to see the hero's belt and external underwear exchanged for more of a troll doll belly, you're really going to like these.
This He-Man villain-looking guy is Superman's eventual murderer, Doomsday, who was apparently being considered for Singer's take. And if I'm understanding the design, the film version of the character would have been able to bashfully conceal his mouth within his flesh turtleneck?

Board action reflects further evolution of Texas State's role and scope
Board action reflects further evolution of Texas State's role and scope
Date of Release: 01/31/2005
SAN MARCOS —The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has approved a new mission statement for Texas State University-San Marcos, a move Texas State officials say marks another step in the continuing evolution of the university's role and scope.
In addition to approving the mission statement, the THECB gave the university preliminary authority to continue planning several new academic programs. That action will allow the university to prepare proposals to submit to the board at a later date for programs that include electrical engineering; materials science and engineering; and nursing at the bachelor's degree level; and computer science and criminal justice at the doctoral level.
"I believe this is clearly an evolutionary step for Texas State," said Perry Moore, the university's provost and vice president of academic affairs. "We take seriously our responsibility to address the higher education needs of the Austin-San Antonio corridor and the State of Texas. I believe the Coordinating Board recognizes that we have an important role to play in that regard."
The university's new mission statement reads, "Texas State University-San Marcos is a public, student-centered, doctoral granting institution dedicated to excellence in serving the educational needs of the diverse population of Texas and the world beyond."
Along with the mission statement, the board approved the university's Shared Values Statement, which enumerates the values the university community shares in its pursuit of its mission as a premier institution. That statement stresses the importance of such shared values as a commitment to an exceptional undergraduate experience and graduate education, diversity, the cultivation of character, engaged teaching and learning, research and creative activity, public service and planning and evaluation.
* The THECB gave Texas State authority to continue planning programs in the following disciplines: Electrical engineering (bachelor's degree level)
* Materials science and engineering (bachelor's and master's degree level)
* Nursing (bachelor's degree level)
* Accounting and information technology (master's degree level)
* Athletic training (master's degree level)
* Human nutrition (master's degree level)
* Computer science (doctoral level)
* Criminal justice (doctoral level)
"The fact that we are now laying the groundwork for additional programs in engineering as well as planning for two new programs at the doctoral level demonstrates that we are moving forward as an institution and responding to areas of critical need in Texas," said Moore.

Anybody taken the time to work out the REAL points yet?
Shakey is still leading on 321, Tommy is second on 312, Hopper a way back in third on 281, Laverty 4th on 246, Brookes 5th on 200.........oh, and Kirkham is now on equal points with Kiyo in 6th on 172.
Despite a setback for Shakey this weekend he's still on track for the championship, Tommy has closed in a little, good results for Hopkins but being 40 points behind the lead he still has a lot to do to get into contention.....still close tho'.....exciting isn't it!

Ahhhh summer!!!
Finally I'm back home for summer break and get to get away from all the drama!!! Okay technically I've been home for like 3 days now but I've been unpacking and reorganizing and stuff so I haven't really gotten a chance to settle down and just relax until now. I'm really happy to be away from school and all the annoying crap that was going on up there although saying that I do already miss everyone, especially because most of them I won't see again since they graduated. Oh well, they said they'll come back and visit so who knows. Anyway on to the summer plan. My two goals to focus on this summer are working to try and put some more money back before heading up to school in the fall and my workouts plus everything that's associated with that (diet, scheduling, and research). I think it's going to be nice to just focus on myself for a little and not to try and dwell on everyone else's issues and drama for once. Although I am worried that it's still going to follow me because my friend from college was texting me this morning about stuff between him and his girlfriend so who knows. Anyway tho, I really hope this is going to be a relaxing summer and I get the chance to have some fun!! :) And to anyone else on break now, I hope it's the same for you =D

Norwich, NY (February 21, 2014) – The national financial education movement America Saves Week will be celebrated February 24 – March 1, 2014. As a registered local participant, NBT Bank is educating individuals on the importance of saving and offers tools to help community members reach their savings goals year-round.
"We have taken a very active approach to helping not only our customers, but also the members our community – young and old – to become more proactive in financial planning and saving," said Martin Dietrich, President and Chief Executive Officer of NBT Bank.
NBT Bank supports the goals of America Saves Week all year long by providing customers with specific savings tips, and hosting its Strive® educational programs at local schools across its footprint. The Strive® programs focus on topics ranging from helping young audiences identify the difference between need and want-based purchases to helping teens gain an early understanding of credit and loan management and savings techniques.
Strive® provides in-classroom and online financial education to help today's youth grow their money skills. Starting early with fun and informative financial literacy helps students of all ages develop good financial habits and pay more attention to how money is wisely saved and spent.
NBT Bank employees have conducted over 150 classroom presentations in school districts and community groups across the bank's footprint. To learn more, visit www.nbtbank.com/strive.
The theme of this year's America Saves Week is "Set a Goal, Make a Plan and Save Automatically." Individuals at any age can easily turn this theme into their own savings initiative by following these simple steps offered by the American Bankers Association:
Set a Goal
You can save more by having a goal in mind. Visualizing what you want to save for gives your savings a purpose. You may be tempted to withdraw from your savings if it has no purpose. But once you have a goal in place, you know that taking money out of your savings is taking away from that ultimate goal. So what are you saving for? An emergency fund, a home, retirement, a car?
Make a Plan
Once you have your goal in place, make a plan for how you are going to save. To start, cut down on your spending and reduce high-cost debt. Next, keep track of what you spend and make a budget. Once you know where your money is going each month, you can cut down on unneeded spending and save the difference.
Don't forget to keep your savings safe, protected and growing.
Save Automatically
It can be hard to put aside money for savings. But there is an easy way to save money without ever missing it. Once you know how much you can save, make saving automatic. Many employers allow you to divide your paycheck into different accounts through direct deposit. Take advantage by putting part of your pay into a savings account. If you get paid in cash, take a small amount to the bank to deposit into a savings account each week.
To start saving right away, contact your local NBT Bank office for assistance in developing a financial plan or visit our website www.nbtbank.com. The website will provide you with a variety of resources and additional tips.
NBT Bank offers personal banking, asset management and business services through a network of 158 banking locations in five states. NBT Bank operates from 126 locations in upstate New York, northwestern Vermont, western Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. NBT's Pennstar Bank division operates from 32 locations in northeastern Pennsylvania. NBT Bank and its parent company, NBT Bancorp Inc., are headquartered in Norwich, N.Y. NBT Bancorp Inc. had assets of $7.7 billion as of December 31, 2013, and is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol NBTB.
America Saves Week is coordinated by America Saves and the America Savings Education Council. The Week is an annual opportunity for organizations to promote good savings behavior and a chance for individuals to assess their own saving status.

An Overview Of The Mental Health Assessment
Mental health assessment is conceived through a series of tedious processes that can assist identify all essential details of the mental wellness of the individual leading to a conclusive judgment. It is common knowledge amongst practitioners of mental health care providers that a mental health assessment may only be conceived if all info regarding the disorder could be gathered. Diagnosis might take a short time but arriving at a conclusion is possible only after a certain period of case study.
Fleshing out the details is necessary to get to at an accurate result- may it be diagnosis or prognosis. However this could only be achieved by taking note of small details that might uncover underlying symptoms, when developments of symptoms are well-recorded and when the mental state of the patient is strictly monitored. A psychiatric assessment is built on careful attention to details associated with the particular person together with medical history, upbringing and environment, experiences such as childhood traumas together with others. If not completed correctly, the physician may fail to spot crucial details that could affect the result of the evaluation.
Other than what has been listed above, a psychiatric assessment may also include evaluation on presented behavior, manner of thinking, mood, capacity to reason out and to express oneself and memory. Routine medical assessment such as blood test, urine test, and other laboratory tests are also included.
Health assessment such as this requires prior groundwork. Symptoms of a disorder should be clearly recorded in a diary or journal. This helps keep track of the symptoms that could be a sign of improvement or of worsening the case. This may give the psychiatrist or the physician a clearer picture of the mental health illness. If the affected person is a child, the dad or mum ought to see to it that the preparation of the journal is carefully supervised or that the mum or dad should also make a separate journal to keep a detailed history of observations.
If already diagnosed and given medications for the control of symptoms, alterations of behavior or symptoms also needs to be recorded.
Summary of the Findings
Plain examination and evaluation of a patient would not give reliable information for managing his or her mental health . A conclusive summary of all findings and accompanying recommendations for treatments and therapies would help prepare the person for recovery.
Practically all psychiatric assessment require interview. Mental health illnesses usually lack in the presentation of observable symptoms. Because of this talk is extremely beneficial in psychoanalytical and behavioral assessment of a patient.
A series of interviews gives the physician a better look at the information that a affected person could present. This offers the opportunity to collect data, clarify ambiguous details and to refute any established impressions.
There are three kinds of questions used throughout a psychiatric interview-
a) close questions b) open questions c) choice questions
Interviews are not only beneficial because they clearly open opportunities for gathering data; it is also the chance for the patient to tell his or her story. Discussion is beneficial as it allows often terrifying thoughts to be voiced out.
Physical Examination
Neurological and cardiovascular examinations are the most commonly used physical examination for the assessment of mental health . The choice of examination is influenced mainly by factors such as the age of the particular person, concurrent disorders, planned medical treatment, concurrent medications and substance use or dependency.

So Didi (the owner) and Marko (the advisor) were extremely upset about the team issuing an order while managing the race, that's fine and a right of theirs and so they should have settled that internally with their team management/strategists but if they had an iota of seriousness and respect for the name of their team and for themselves they should have rectified any disrespect shown to their own team by a member of that team not obeying team instructions/order by the people entrusted by themselves to run the team, but then this is not the first such behaviour at RBR by one of their drivers but its only now that they are feeling extremely upset, go believe them at your own risk.
I will say it again, the principle of what is wrong and right is regardless of like/agree or don't like/disagree with team orders.

Today's unconventional battlefield has lead to the adoption of some unusual looking tools to get the job done. Officially named the improved spork, this battlefield oddity simplifies the operation of the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle's arm, allowing Marines to perform route clearance missions with more ease.
"The original spork was much like a fork on a table," said Al Shaw, MRAP assistant program manager, Buffalo vehicle platform team. "It had five tongs, faced upward, could scoop suspected ordnance and the interrogation arm moved vertically."
The ability to move suspected objects with more flexibility and control was in high demand on the battlefield. "Marines wanted a capability that would allow them to grab items and have greater movement, so we developed that. The difference is like night and day," said Shaw.
The arm now looks more like a claw, with indentations in the tongs, giving operators a greater ability to grip sus-pected ordnance. A more user-friendly control box allows operators to just tilt the attachment vertically and rotate it 360 degrees.
The arm can be upgraded with a kit containing new hardware. Installation is simple and quick, minimizing time and effort focused on the upgrade, allowing Marines to maintain the high operational tempo of today's battlefield.
"Fielding the new spork began with Operation Enduring Freedom," said Shaw. New and reset MRAPs are being delivered in August with the improved spork already installed. Training MRAPs will get the improved spork on a one-for-one exchange as new claws are delivered. Some stateside units already have the spork installed.

Groundbreaking took place Wednesday evening on two more Habitat for Humanity homes in Columbia Falls. The new additions mark 8 Habitat homes in the city built with funding from a $360,000 federal grant. Two recently completed units also received a house dedication.
Habitat for Humanity's construction costs stay low due to donations, volunteer hours, and homeowner "sweat equity." Three-thousand hours of volunteer labor are required to complete a Habitat home.

How good resolutions go bad
Faith & Inspiration
It isn't very funny but it made me laugh. I read Jeremiah 34 this morning, about a little incident that happened in Israel at the time that the pillars of the nation were wobbling and just about to cave before Nebuchadnezzar's military machine.
The waffling King Zedekiah, dodging frantically from one exit to another to avert the destruction the prophet kept predicting, at one point made a covenant with the people to the effect that everyone should set his Hebrew slaves free. The Lord had always decreed that at the end of every seven years, any Hebrew brother who had been sold into slavery to pay off a debt was to be released.
The part that made me smile with self-recognition was that the people all got rid of their slaves alright-but afterward they changed their minds and took them back (verse 11). This reminded me of many a retreat resolution, when some of us made lavish promises never to listen to the Rolling Stones again, and then went picking through the trashcan for the LPs we threw out last week.
Nevertheless, it isn't very droll, is it? What makes us do this? How can we be at one moment so impassioned for God and a few days later second-guessing the authenticity of that moment? Someone can perhaps get a Ph.D. out of explaining this. They can tell us why the Pharaoh kept changing his mind about letting the people go whenever morning came and the frogs were gone and the bloody Nile had returned to running clean.
When I first went to Francis Schaeffer's commune in the Alps called L'Abri in 1973 as a snotty unbeliever, I asked the directors to explain "doubt" for me. If a person claims to have the Holy Spirit, how can he ever have doubt? One guy replied, "Life is a series of moments." Somehow I saw profound wisdom in that answer, and it was the first nudge in the direction of faith.
Maybe the problem is materialism: We have a hard time believing what we cannot see. (And yet belief in what we cannot see is precisely what we are committed to.) The hoopla of the covenant ceremony is over now, and everybody has gone home. Here I am back in the house alone on a humdrum day and feeling like an idiot because I have to do my own laundry on the rocks because I let my Hebrew slave go. What am I, crazy?

You can apply for a basic disclosure for any purpose. However the contents of a basic disclosure certificate may differ depending on whether the application for the certificate is processed under the legislation that applies in England and Wales or under the legislation that applies in Scotland. A basic disclosure certificate either contains information about every conviction of an applicant or states that there is no such conviction. Conviction takes its meaning from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, but it does not include any spent conviction. The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 sets out rehabilitation periods after which convictions may become spent; different rehabilitation periods apply in England and Wales and in Scotland.
Rehabilitation periods should be determined with reference to the law of the jurisdiction to which the inquiry relates. For example if you are applying for a basic disclosure in connection with an application to work in England or Wales then the question is probably being asked under the laws of England & Wales. It is for you and your prospective employer (in cases where the question is being asked for employment purposes) to identify the applicable governing law. Disclosure Scotland expects that the applicable governing law will normally be the same jurisdiction in which the applicant lives. If this is not the case then the individual should tell us otherwise.
For an application where the home address of the applicant is in England or Wales, the application will be processed under the version of section 112 of the Police Act 1997 and the rehabilitation periods in section 5 of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 that apply in England and Wales.
For an application where the home address of the applicant is in Scotland or in a country outwith Great Britain, the application will be processed under the version of section 112 of the Police Act 1997 and the rehabilitation periods in section 5 of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 that apply in Scotland.
If you need to demonstrate that your certificate reflects the laws of the other jurisdiction to that determined by your home address then please contact Disclosure Scotland for advice before applying.
Compensation Orders
You should read this section if you have been convicted of an offence since 10 March 2009 and your sentence includes a compensation order.
If you consider any conviction 'spent' under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 because you have paid any compensation order included in your sentence then you need to provide evidence to that effect to Disclosure Scotland when applying for a Basic Disclosure. In England & Wales, you can obtain a letter of confirmation from the court when any compensation order has been paid in full. A copy of that letter should be provided to Disclosure Scotland either with your application or separately in confidence if your application is being submitted via a third party. You do not need to discuss any separate submission with any third party. To submit proof of payment independently of submitting an application please click here. You should quote your application barcode or reference number, or your name, current address, and date of birth in your communication.
In Scotland the rehabilitation period for a compensation order is five years from the date of conviction and no proof of payment requires to be submitted.
Obtaining a receipt
