Daily headline news and updates from israel today magazine.
Thursday, July 23, 2009
Yet another senior Palestinian Authority official has insisted that media reports suggesting that the ruling Western-backed Fatah faction accepts Israel's right to exist, while the defiant Hamas movement does not is utter nonsense contrived to advance Western agendas in the region.
In an interview with Al-Quds Al-Arabi on Wednesday, Rafik Natsheh, a member of the powerful Fatah Central Committee, had this to say:
"Fatah does not recognize Israel's right to exist. All these reports about recognizing Israel are false. It's all media nonsense."
Natsheh's remarks came in response to reports that Fatah had recently asked Hamas to meet international requirements that it recognize Israel's right to exist so that a Palestinian national unity government could be formed. (Fatah controls the PA in Judea and Samaria, and is the party of Mahmoud Abbas. Rival breakaway PA led by Hamas in Gaza)
"We don't ask other factions to recognize Israel because we in Fatah have never recognized Israel," he explained.
Natsheh, who also previously served as Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council, was the second top Fatah official in recent months to admit that his party, so heralded in the West as "moderates" and "true peace partners," in fact has never met its most important peace obligation.
In March, Mohammed Dahlan, a top advisor to Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and the former Fatah strongman in charge of Gaza, said on Palestinian Authority TV:
"I want to say for the thousandth time, in my own name and in the name of all of my fellow members of the Fatah movement: We do not demand that the Hamas movement recognize Israel. On the contrary, we demand of the Hamas movement not to recognize Israel, because the Fatah movement does not recognize Israel, even today."
Dahlan went on to explain that the Fatah-ruled Palestinian Authority only pays lip service to recognizing Israel in order to obtain assistance from the international community, both in the form of financial aid and political pressure on Israel.
Earlier this month, Kifah Radaydeh, deputy head of the Jerusalem chapter of Abbas' Fatah faction, sought to reassure Palestinians who worried increasingly active American involvement would actually bring an end to the conflict short of Israel's destruction.
Speaking on Palestinian Authority TV, Radaydeh noted:
"It has been said that we are negotiating for peace, but our goal has never been peace. Peace is a means; the goal is Palestine."

One of the biggest problems that storage administrators deal with is the amount of storage and backup space taken up by duplicate files. A 1MB document with wide enterprise distribution in a large corporate environment can easily require hundreds of megabytes of storage as individual users make their own copies of documents, which then end up on local computers or network shares that are backed up. Even with less obvious examples, such as files with much more limited distribution, there are hundreds, if not thousands of duplicated files on most corporate networks, adding additional overhead to storage and backup requirements.
Storage technology is keeping up with the duplicated data problem by introducing a concept known as data deduplication (dedupe). With this technique, duplicated data is deleted, leaving only a single physical copy of the data. All the links and references to every other copy of the deleted data will be redirected to the remaining instance of the data. Only the single copy of the data needs to be backed up and archived, allowing for much more efficient use of backup and storage media. Not only is less storage required for backup, but because deduplication is done at the front end of the backup process, the amount of time required for backup can be significantly reduced, providing additional benefits to those organizations with a limited backup window.
Data dedupe is such a high priority with customers and vendors that it has taken a key position in many new products, ranging from enterprise-focused, high-end, crossplatform dedicated hardware virtual tape libraries (VTLs) designed to protect enterprise networks and enterprise SAN environments to products designed to protect a single server or smaller corporate enterprise. The bigger the enterprise, the larger the impact that dedupe can have on the bottom line.
An example of the former type of product is the newly released Quantum DXi7500 Enterprise backup system. The DXi7500 is an enterprise-class hardware backup and data protection appliance that's focused on data de-duplication and remote data protection. It's a good example of a dedicated appliance that uses dedupe as a key component of its backup architecture. The DXi7500 provides a raw capacity of up to 240TB and lets you back up as much as 8TB an hour while de-duplicating the data backup on the fly.
An example of a more broadly targeted product that uses data dedupe is Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007, currently in beta. With this newest release of its server-class data backup and protection application Microsoft includes on-the-fly data dedupe as one of the major improvements. You can install DPM 2007 on a Windows Server 2003 system or buy it as a network appliance server that uses Windows Unified Data Storage Server as a base platform.
Regardless of the size of your enterprise, considering a data dedupe solution as part of your data backup and protection scheme makes good sense, from both a technical and economical point of view. The advantages in improved backup times and reduced storage requirements have far-reaching consequences in your computing environment and should be key considerations when you evaluate data protection solutions.

Quaker Transmissions: For all your transmission needs
A fully operational transmission, along with your vehicle's engine, is by far the most important machine in your car. In the words of Rob George, co-owner of Quaker Transmissions in Warwick, your transmission is "what makes the wheels move", and so if your transmission isn't working properly or is damaged, your vehicle has no power source. A transmission is a remarkable contraption that allows your car to shift from gear to gear, thereby accommodating your demands for speed and acceleration. The life of your transmission is impacted by extreme temperatures and is especially vulnerable in these excessively hot summer days. If you notice that your vehicle is having trouble changing gears, or if the gears are slipping, or if it is grinding and shaking, or if your "Check engine" light goes on, Rob George warns ~ you may be in trouble. Time to bring your vehicle in to Quaker Transmission to repair and prolong the life of this critical component of your car.
Quaker Transmissions was established in 1990 by longtime technicians Rob George and John O'Hara. George and O'Hara are experienced, knowledgeable and highly skilled technicians who know transmissions better than they know just about anything. In their long careers, dating back to the early 70's, they have serviced every kind of transmission in vehicles of every make, model and year. At any given time, there might be anything from an old Cadillac or a new SUV in one of their bays. Transmissions are their first language; it's what they do with expertise, skilled workmanship and mostly, with complete honesty and integrity.
Rob George explains: "Transmission work is a specialty that can't be taken on by your general mechanic." Transmission work is highly specialized and cannot be done by technicians with less-than-par workmanship or lack of experience without posing a tremendous risk to your vehicle. Rob and John value their customers trust and know this business well enough to diagnose the problem, state the facts with full disclosure and most importantly, get the work done in a timely and professional way.
The team here at Quaker Transmissions is known for its outstanding repair work on transmission problems, electronic, axle, and 4 x 4, as well as its expert replacement and repair of the clutches of foreign and domestic automobiles, light trucks and even motor homes. They handle all automatic and manual transmissions, and provide the ever-important preventive maintenance work to preserve the longevity of your transmission. Quaker Transmissions is also a full-service station that repairs vehicles of all makes and models. It welcomes extended warrantees, handles fleet maintenance accounts, and is available for towing.
Quaker Transmissions is located at 67 Tiogue Avenue, Route 3, in West Warwick. Hours of operation are Monday to Friday, 8 a.m.-6 p.m. and on Saturdays by appointment only. Quaker Transmissions can be reached at 826-2800 (Fax 823-8310). All major credit cards accepted.

The UConn women's basketball rivalry with Stanford will live on for at least another two years, but likely much longer.
Before Notre Dame took on the role of the Husky killers the last two years by beating UConn in back-to-back national semifinals, it was Stanford that posed the biggest challenge for the premier program in the sport. Now with the Cardinal on top of the women's basketball poll, perhaps they will become the Huskies' arch nemesis once again.
At the very least, they will be given an opportunity. UConn announced that it has extended the series with Stanford two more years.
"I always thought we'd play them for as long as they wanted to play,'' UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "They're one of those schools that … I might ask them if they want to play home-and-home every year. Hell, the way schools are moving from conference to conference if you just play everybody in your non-conference schedule you could end up playing in every league in the country almost if you want to."
The teams were set to play the last game under their current contract this year on Dec. 29 in Palo Alto, Calif. They've added two more games, starting with the season opener next year in Connecticut on Nov. 10.
"As long as Stanford wants to play we'll play them," Auriemma said. "I have a lot of respect for them, obviously, as a university and certainly their coaching staff. They're great people. And the kind of people they recruit are great people. So I'm thrilled that it was done. Really. I think that's a great thing for us.''
UConn leads the all-time series with Stanford, 7-6. It was Stanford that halted the Huskies national-record 90-game win streak in 2010.

NEW YORK (AP) — Scheduling conflicts have led to Holly Hunter bowing out of the world premiere of Hamish Linklater's play "The Vandal."
The Flea Theater said Tuesday that Drama Desk Award winner Deirdre O'Connell will replace Hunter in the play that will also star Zach Grenier and Noah Robbins.
Previews begin Jan. 18 with opening slated for Jan. 31.
Set in upstate New York, the work is described as a "funny and dark new play about a woman and a boy who meet at a bus stop on a cold night and the stories they tell to keep each other warm."
O'Connell, a series regular on TV's "L.A. Doctors," was last seen on Broadway in "Magic/Bird." Her other credits include "In the Wake," ''Thinner Than Water" and "The Poor Itch."

Both President Obama and Mitt Romney's newly minted running mate, Paul Ryan, weaved through Iowa Monday, exchanging attacks and making pitches to battleground voters.
Ryan picked the Iowa State Fair for his first solo campaign stop, which drew both supporters and relentless hecklers, including two women who tried to storm the stage before being removed by security, NBC News reported.
"We're used to it," Ryan said after his speech. "I come from Wisconsin."
The charismatic young conservative spoke calmly through persistent interruptions, pausing briefly to address the stage-storming disruption.
"It's funny because Iowans and Wisconsinites we like to be respectful of one another and peaceful with one another and listen to one another," he said. "These ladies must not be from Iowa or Wisconsin."
Echoing Romney's message, Ryan took aim at Obama's economic policies and told the crowd that if they saw the president during his spin through the state, that they should ask him "the same question I get asked all over America, and that is, where are the jobs, Mr. President?"
Above the shouts of protesters, who asked if he would cut Medicare and demanded that he "end the wars," Ryan continued his attack on Obama's spending and welfare policies.
"President Barack Obama just passed a rule waiving those work requirements saying no longer do states have —actually have to have work requirements if people are going to receive welfare," he said. "That's going to send us in the wrong direction. That's the wrong way to go. We want to give people hands up, not hand outs."
He did not address drought relief or take questions on Medicare—one of the programs that would be changed under the budget he shepherded through the Republican-controlled House, but which Democrats oppose.
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Across the state, the president, who was beginning the first day of a three-day Iowa bus tour, took on Ryan directly, blaming him for a stalled bill that would provide federal funding to farmers.
He said that Ryan was "one of the leaders of Congress standing in the way," and urged the crowd to tell Ryan "how important this farm bill is to Iowa and its rural communities," according to NBC News.
The Senate's farm bill, which includes a $16 billion cut to food stamps, has faced objections from some conservatives who want steeper cuts, NBC News reported. Ryan's budget proposal would slash food stamps by $33 billion.
The friendly crowd cheered the president, who had earlier in the day announced that the federal government would buy up $170 million of beef, pork, lamb and catfish to help farmers though one of the worst droughts in half a century.
House Speaker John Boehner's office issued a statement in response to Obama's speech, accusing the Democratic-controlled Senate of leaving "town for August without taking action on a drought aid bill that passed the House with bipartisan support, including the support of Chairman Ryan." The statement also called Obama's attacks on Ryan and Republicans a sign of "desperation to change the subject to anything other than his failures on jobs and the economy."
The Romney campaign echoed Boehner's defense of Ryan, pointing out that the congressman hails from an agricultural state and "the truth is no one will work harder to defend farmers and ranchers than the Romney-Ryan ticket."
The president continued his tour through the state, which he won decisively in 2008, and said he planned to finish it off Wednesday at the state fair.

Been back to work 2+ weeks now and I'm not pumping enough out to get my DD thru the next day. Our nanny has been going into the freezer stash nearly everyday, only for about 3 oz, but that stash is going down down down. I'm gone 9 hours most days, I nurse right before I leave and when. I come home, but on my best day I pumped 10oz and that's due to me buying a Medela PIS to replace my Tommee Tippee pump that was severely underperforming.
Spoken to Nanny about pace but really using the 1 to 1.5oz per hour rule things are as they should be for 9 hours. I just don't get enough volume and I can't meet up with them to nurse during the day.
I've searched the forum for this issue but I'm not seeing my solution. With the amount I nurse at home, including overnight (we co sleep) and pumping 3x at work I honestly don't think I can find anymore time to pump. I got a mere 1 oz in my 3rd session today and brought home about 9.
No way I want DD to have anything but breast milk. Do I just need to bite the bullet and pump 4X at work and try to get an overnight session in too even tho I nurse during sleep hours? There is very little spare time right now unless I give up more sleep.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Obama administration officials say the automatic budget cuts called "sequestration" have not yet affected the government's ability to fight wildfires.
The Agriculture Department's Jim Hubbard and the Interior Department's James Douglas told a House subcommittee Thursday that the cuts reduced the seasonal workforce and administrative expenses like travel and supplies.
But they warn that sequestration could jeopardize prevention efforts and preparedness in the future.
Their comments come as the cuts take fuller effect on federal government agencies, and just 11 days after 19 firefighters died in Arizona while trying to protect the town of Yarnell.
Douglas also warns that other reductions will mean that fewer dispatchers can be trained to fight fires.

Hello. Last fall a reputable outfit replaced my old system with a: 355CAV042060, 186BNA018000, CNPVP2417ATA, and SYSTXBBUID01-C. The unit is in a room adjacent to the living room with a return pulling air from the living room. So I expect to, and can, hear the system operating. During the heating season I found it reasonably quiet (ran on low 99.99% of the time and medium only occasionally) and the blower fan made no strange noises. During this first cooling season, however, the blower fan has been making some annoying noises. I wanted to ask about this in a forum before calling the contractor.
When the air conditioner is running it sounds as though the blower fan RPM is frequently being changed by modest amounts. It sounds as though at some RPMs the fan produces a whine, at other RPMs the fan produces an oscillating "warbling" sound. Neither the whining nor warbling is very loud. However, they are clearly heard and as the fan RPM moves around the whining comes and goes, sometimes changing in pitch, and the warbling comes and goes. Which creates a constantly changing series of noises that is disruptive to quiet work, trying to take a nap, watching a quiet movie, those sorts of things. That is typical behavior especially on hot days. Occasionally, though, the whine/warble don't occur or at least aren't obvious. Unfortunately, such was the case during my summer checkout appointment. During which it was suggested I give a different config (constant low fan, efficiency, higher humidity) a try for a while. I thought the system was noisier after that (and also less comfortable) so I put it back to the original config (auto fan, comfort, default humidity) for now.
Does this noise I'm describing sound like something any of you have run into before? I'm not sure if there is anything I can do in terms of gathering more information before calling the contractor. If there is, though, I'd like to since this is a somewhat variable problem and often those aren't much fun to track down.
Thanks for your time.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Former University of San Diego basketball star Brandon Johnson was sentenced to six months in prison Friday for his role in a game-fixing scheme.
San Diego's all-time scoring and assists leader admitted unsuccessfully soliciting an unidentified player during the 2010-11 season, when he was no longer at the school. He insisted he never manipulated a game in which he played, though prosecutors alleged he sought to influence the outcome of games during his senior year.
U.S. District Judge Anthony Battaglia told Johnson, 26, that his record-setting career was tarnished, according to the U-T San Diego newspaper (http://bit.ly/13uKfoc).
"You disparaged the integrity of a university and disparaged the integrity of basketball," Battaglia said.
"You'll keep the records, but like Pete Rose, Lance Armstrong and Roger Clemens you'll have some explaining to do," the judge added.
Johnson, who pleaded guilty in November to a conspiracy charge, is the highest profile of the 10 defendants indicted in 2011 as part of a conspiracy that included a game-fixing scheme, an illegal sports gambling operation and marijuana distribution. Eight have pleaded guilty and five have been sentenced.
The government asserted that Johnson profited $5,000 to $10,000 for altering "approximately four games" during the 2009-10 season.
The U-T reported that the government's sentencing memorandum included excerpts of secretly taped phone conversations in which Johnson says at one point, "Wish I woulda did every game."
Johnson also discusses a February 2010 game against Loyola Marymount in which he did not shoot late in a game that the government claims was fixed and resulted in an estimated $70,000 worth of gambling profits for fellow conspirators. San Diego was favored by 3½ points and lost 72-69.
"Coach was like, how you ain't get a shot up," Johnson is quoted in the transcription of a call. "I'm in the locker room, like, You can say what you want, but that's a G ($1,000) right there."
Federal prosecutors wanted a judge to sentence Johnson to a year in prison, according to the U-T. Johnson's attorney, Oliver Cleary, sought probation and no time in custody, saying his client should be sentenced only for trying to recruit the player after he left school.
"Because the player did not take the bait," Cleary said, "the offense remains a cautionary tale more than a tragic consequence. As such, it ranks in the relatively low category of offenses."
Johnson, who resides in Jersey Village, Texas, was ordered to report to prison on May 31. He has been free on bond.
Johnson has been playing for the Sugar Land Legends of the minor-league American Basketball League while coaching with a youth club. According to court filings by his attorney, Johnson "has lost contracts to play basketball in China, Romania, Poland, Finland, two in Germany and Venezuela" since his arrest.

Understanding HUD Audit and Reporting Issues for 2011 Audits of Supervised Mortgagees – Member Web Event
Important Note: In March 2012, HUD issued interim guidance that included waiver of the compliance audit requirements for small supervised lenders and mortgagees. While this Web event does not mention the waiver (because it occurred prior to the waiver issuance), it still contains useful information for auditors of supervised lenders. However, we strongly suggest you read GAQC Alert #190, to supplement this Web event so that you have the latest information.
About the Web Event
2010 was the first time new Housing and Urban Development (HUD) audit and reporting requirements kicked in for supervised mortgagees, including banks and credit unions. There were a number of issues that auditors and auditees experienced during the first year. Since then, HUD has relaxed some of the audit requirements, which while providing relief to certain auditees, has also raised new audit issues. Additionally, many of the issues from 2010 are expected to continue and affect your 2011 fiscal year-end audits.
This session is intended primarily to assist external auditors performing audits of supervised mortgagees subject to the HUD requirements. However, it may also be of interest to auditees (i.e., both preparers and internal audit staff that are performing work relating to the HUD requirements). Participants in this session will:
- Gain a high-level understanding of the latest HUD requirements for these audits;
- Learn about some of the "kinks" in the process that will continue for your FY2011 audits;
- Get suggestions for mitigating audit and reporting issues; and
- Have an opportunity to submit your questions.

July 5, 1931 August 20, 2013
Sherry was delivered by her father July 5, 1931, in Oklahoma City and died peacefully surrounded by family Tuesday, August 20, 2013. The fact that the membrane covered her head during birth (Caul) meant that she was a special person. That she was! Her parents, Dr. Joseph Antony and Arden Antony, moved the family from Lawton, Okla., to Medford, Ore. in 1945 where Sherry graduated from Medford High in 1949. During the two years Sherry attended U of O, she was a member of the AOPi sorority and was a finalist for Sweetheart of Sigma Chi fraternity. Sherry wanted to be an airline stewardess, but ended up a dental assistant in Medford.
A chance encounter with Ron Nutting, home on leave from the Army in 1952, led to a whirlwind, romantic courtship and marriage November 14, 1953, after Ron completed Officer Candidate School and was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the Corps of Engineers. This love at first sight union produced two fine sons, Brad and Brian, who are ardent Oregon State Beavers as is Ron. Her young sons quickly learned that Mom had eyes in the back of her head and had the intuitive ability to thwart any mischievous activities. Sherry's proudest achievement was raising two sons from infancy to accomplished manhood.
Sherry was a one of a kind woman who had more energy than most, who was a loving, guiding, nurturing mother, a meticulous homemaker, a giving person and an accomplished hostess. She could figure out how to fix about anything around the house using such techniques as a bench vice and a sledge hammer to shorten boards. Fixing toys was a specialty with her, although she might use Ron's finish chisel to clean off rust, etc. You get the idea! Sherry was a smoker until her young sons used a needle to poke holes in her cigarettes, put exploding caps in the tobacco and sew yarn through the cigarettes. She quit cold turkey and promised her sons that if they ever started to smoke she would come down on them so hard they would hurt for a week! Sewing was one of her greatest talents and she could make any item of clothing.
She and Ron had a magic relationship where each supported and loved the other through good and bad times. Sherry was the temperamental Italian, talkative type adding excitement to Ron's more even, low-key disposition.
Sherry had a way with animals. As a young girl she enjoyed and trained her horses, Sugar and Pepper, her pet squirrels, Chitter and Chatter, her pet geese, Lucy and Lucky and a crippled chicken that Sugar stepped on. As an adult, she could connect with all types of people and become an immediate friend. Sherry volunteered for five years at the Bel Aire nursing home (now Avamere) on Allen Blvd., Beaverton, followed by 25 years at Emanuel Hospital, Portland. For the latter she was recognized as A Treasure of Emanuel in 2002.
Sherry immersed herself with her children by helping coach Midget League Baseball; serving as Cub Scout Den Mother where she could out rope climb the older Scout Den Chief; becoming active in PTA matters; and serving as President of the Mom's Club for the boys' college fraternity. Their Kappa Sigma brothers looked forward to OSU Moms' Weekends so they could dance with Mrs. Nutting. She enjoyed cheering for her sons at athletic events and her voice could always be heard, sometimes to their chagrin. Sherry was probably one of the few women who liked to hunt rattlesnakes and collect their rattles, sometimes before they were dispatched.
She enjoyed family events, camping, waterskiing, working in her beautiful yard, shopping for bargains, annual Christmas tree cutting and decorating, playing bridge with the girls, wine tasting and picnics, shopping with her grandchildren, travel with family to Maui, ocean cruising, climbing pyramids in the Yucatan and hiking glaciers in Alaska with her husband.
Sherry was able to enjoy watching her grandchildren grow into young ladies and a gentleman and share all the celebrations along the way. It is hard to measure the mutual love and respect they had for one another.
Sherry fought through a series of severe illnesses beginning in February 2013 until her body was exhausted and gave up August 20, 2013. She was preceded in death by her parents and three siblings. She is survived by her husband, Ron of nearly 60 years, November 14, 2013, would have been their 60th anniversary; sons, Brad (Chris) and Brian (Karen); and grandchildren, Molly, Bonnie, Colin, and Stephanie. They are all residents of the Portland Metro area.
Sherry is now at peace and flying over the rainbow with her bluebirds in the Land of Oz. No service will be held, although a celebration of our beloved Sherry's life will be held later. Our family was sustained by the wonderful care provided by Providence St. Vincent Hospice's medical and administrative personnel. They have our heartfelt gratitude. Thank you!

Mission And Vision
The CTN is a collection of "Nodes" that consist of a University based addiction treatment program (the Regional Research and Training Center [RRTC]) and 5 or more community treatment programs that have agreed to work with the RRTC to conduct randomized trials to test the effectiveness of treatments for persons with substance related disorders. Treatments selected for study are those that are being used but whose outcomes have not been clearly documented, those that have not been widely used or studied but appear promising, or those that have been widely used and studied in certain types of patients but have not been used or studied in other groups where they may also be helpful.
The University of Pennsylvania received a CTN award in 1999, and it has been renewed continuously since that time with the most recent award beginning September 1, 2010 and extending for the next 5 years. The number of Nodes has ranged from 6 to 17 and the most recent funding cycle will include 12 including the Delaware Valley Node. We have participated in studies of contingency management, motivational enhancement therapy, use of Concerta for adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, interventions to reduce behaviors that put our patients are risk for HIV, and studies of Suboxone and methadone.
Two very important events happened in the last funding period. One was the selection of Tom McLellan to head the demand reduction component of the National Office of Drug Abuse (ONDCP). His selection was a loss for our Node, but a gain for the country and he has been very involved in health care reform with a special focus on accepting substance related disorders as health problems and seeing that resources are allocated accordingly. The second major event was our good luck in being selected to lead a study of short-term vs. extended buprenorphine-naloxone treatment for opioid addicted youth. The findings were published in the 11/8/08 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association along with an editorial discussing its strengths and weaknesses. Findings consistently and strongly favored the extended treatment approach and the conclusion was that buprenorphine-naloxone is an important addition to the current treatment options for opioid addicted youth, and that providers should be in no hurry to discontinue treatment even if the patient is young and has been addicted for a short period of time. The findings were recently included in a NIDA-sponsored dissemination product on buprenorphine-naloxone, and have the potential to change the usual practice which is based entirely on psychosocial treatments for opioid addicted youth.
The Delaware Valley Node, in collaboration with its partners at the Philadelphia Health Management Corporation and the Treatment Research Institute, has also organized conferences where research findings were presented to treatment providers, and has continued to train providers on use of instruments such as the Addiction Severity Index. We are very grateful to our community treatment providers and look forward to continuing our work over the next 5 years.

The 2017 Toyota Highlander is a large vehicle. There's no getting around it. It looks large. It drives large. And if you have a regular sized garage, it will fill up the entire space.
But that's good news for families. Highlander has a standard seating capacity for eight, and it can hold adult-sized passengers in all seating positions.
For 2017, Highlander gets a small facelift, which is most obvious on the front fascia. The trapezoidal grille gets both bigger and bolder, falling in line with the polarizing family design we've started seeing on the cars.
These changes integrate nicely into the overall design, and the large trapezoidal grille works with the Highlander's sheer largeness.
The interior gets an upgrade as well, and though the changes aren't necessarily as obvious, the effect is something that's just a bit more upscale. I would still say Highlander is more rugged than luxurious, but it just generally looks nicer.
Additionally, where Limited and Platinum trims were previously only available in a seven-passenger configuration, these trims now offer a middle bench row to up the passenger volume to eight.
Another huge upgrade: Toyota added four USB charge ports throughout the vehicle, which brings the USB total to five. Thank you.
Ride & Handling
The one thing I don't love about the Toyota Highlander is that it's a bit unwieldy. Yes, it is a large vehicle, but it doesn't have to drive like one.
Case in point: During a subsequent test week, I had the extremely large Ford F-150 Raptor in my garage. And while it filled up the entire space and I did have to be mindful of how I was driving in tight spaces, it didn't feel as big as it was. It had excellent visibility out all windows and once I was on the road, I nearly forgot I was driving a large pickup truck.
In comparison, the Highlander was sluggish and ungainly. I never forgot what I was driving.
The Highlander test vehicle was equipped with the 3.5-liter V-6 engine that delivers 295 horsepower and 263 pound feet of torque. This is an increase of 25 horsepower and 15 pound-feet of torque over the 2016 model.
I will say I'm a fairly aggressive driver, so for me, this was not enough power for a vehicle of this size. The engine always seemed like it was working a bit too hard, and it didn't merge with traffic quite as quickly as I wanted.
There is also a 4-cylinder engine, which is only available on the LE trim. It delivers 185 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque.
Fuel economy
The upgraded engine does chalk one up in the win category, though, as the fuel economy gets a significant boost for 2017.
- 4-cyl FWD (city/hwy/combined): 20/24/22 mpg
- V-6 FWD (city/hwy/combined): 20/27/23 mpg
- V-6 AWD (city/hwy/combined): 20/26/22 mpg
Tech & gadgets
In a world where everyone is "plugged in," USB ports have now replaced cup holders in my must-have list. And new for 2017, Highlander now offers five ports – three up front and two in the rear. While I'd like to see two in the third row as well, I think 5 is a decent number for a seven- to eight-passenger vehicle.
For the kiddos, Highlander has an available rear-seat entertainment system that has a Blu-ray disc player and RCA jacks. It drops down from the ceiling with a 9-inch display screen and has a remote and two sets of wireless headphones.
Other nice available high-tech features on the Highlander include a bird's-eye view camera, an Easy Speak feature that transmits the driver's voice through the speakers to the rear-seat passengers, an 8-inch high-resolution touch screen display on the center stack and three-zone automatic climate control.
And before you ask: No, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not available. Nor are there any plans to bring these systems to Toyota vehicles any time in the near (or distant) future.
For 2017 Highlander offers six trim levels in the gasoline model, with the addition of the new SE trim. Both LE and LE Plus are monospec and don't come with any package options. However, with standard Toyota Safety Sense P (see more info in the safety section) on every trim, there isn't much need for too many options.
LE ($31,590): This trim offers a base 4-cylinder engine, which accounts for the price difference between the LE and LE Plus, which only offers the V-6. The LE with the up-level engine starts at $32,680. Standard features include 18-inch alloy wheels, Entune Audio with a 6.1-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth phone and music streaming, backup camera, seating for eight with second- and third-row 60/40 split fold-flat seats and heated side mirrors with turn signal indicators.'
LE Plus ($37,480): This trim adds SofTex-trimmed seats, fog lights, height-adjustable power rear liftgate with flip-up rear hatch window, 8-way power driver seat with lumbar support, Entune Audio Plus with an 8-inch display monitor, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, HD Radio, three-zone automatic climate control and leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.
XLE ($39,480): This trim adds standard comfort and convenience features, including: leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats, passive with push button start, power tilt-slide moonroof, second-row integrated sun shades, 4.2-inch color multi-information display and navigation.
SE ($40,650): This trim is the "sporty" trim, and adds features such dark paint treatment to front grill, headlamp housing and roof rails; 19-in. alloy wheels with black finish and black center caps, black leather–trimmed seats with silver stitching and pattern seat inserts, black front tray color with Matching dash/door technical pattern inserts and a sport-tuned front and rear suspension.
Limited ($44,100): This top-tier trim is all about the luxury and includes items such as blue LED ambient lighting around the dash and doors, perforated leather-trimmed seats, heated and cooled front seats, a 4-way power passenger seat, memory settings for the driver seat and side mirrors, rear parking assist sonar and premium JBL audio.
Limited Platinum ($47,220): This trim leaves nothing out, and adds in features such as the bird's eye camera, a panoramic moonroof, heated steering wheel, heated second-row outboard seats, rain-sensing windshield wipers and puddle lamps that feature a Highlander Projection.
One of the best things Toyota ever did was make its Toyota Safety Sense standard across the entire lineup. That means you don't have to compromise safety for convenience features as every model now includes at a minimum pre-collision braking and lane departure warning. The Highlander has the TSS-P system, which adds pedestrian detection, lane departure alert with steering assist, automatic high beans and adaptive cruise control. For free. On even the base LE trim.
What I have to say to that: Bravo!
Thus, it should be no surprise that Toyota Highlander is on the IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus list as well as receives an overall 5-Star safety rating from NHTSA.
Not sure what the safety ratings mean? We break it down for you here.
New for 2017
Highlander gets a mild refresh for 2017 with revised front and rear styling and upgraded interior. There is also a new SE trim, which falls in the middle of the lineup between the XLE and Limited trims. Also new for this model year, the advanced Toyota Safety Sense P driver assist technology is standard across the lineup.
A few of my favorite things
The third-row manually operating seats are really easy to manage – even for someone of a petite stature. I was able to pull and tug the seats easily into place as well as release them – all with one hand.
Another fave: Each row gives decent knee space to its passengers. That can't be said for all three-row SUVs.
I'd also like to point out that Highlander is also available as a hybrid. And though we haven't tested it, we imagine it's pretty solid – just like every other hybrid Toyota builds. It gets bonus points for generating more power than the gasoline model while offering better fuel economy. It's only offered as an all-wheel-drive model and has a base price of $37,230.
What I can leave
While size has its advantages for passenger and cargo, it also has disadvantages. It is not an easy vehicle to drive in urban situations.
I also didn't love the engine power. Even though it's an improvement over the 2016 model, the engine in the Highlander just feels like it has to work a tad too hard.
Lastly, my new pet peeve in all vehicles is the auto stop/start feature. This shuts down the engine when the vehicle comes to a complete stop, which in theory should add fuel savings. In reality, it creates a lag between when you take your foot off the brake and when you can actually move the vehicle.
The good news: This feature can be turned off in the Highlander. The bad news: You have to turn it off every time you turn the vehicle on.
The bottom line
There's no doubt that Toyota makes a solid, reliable vehicle. And now that the TSS is standard across the lineup, it also makes some of the safest vehicles.
I liked but didn't love the Highlander, mostly because I wanted more power.
But the passenger volume alone makes this a great option for families – especially since the base $32K includes all the safety goodies.

Gilford says no to exotic dancingBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
September 26. 2013 9:25PM
GILFORD — Selectmen issued a new entertainment permit but denied a liquor permit and again denied exotic dancing to the owners of a local club known for its women entertainers.
Willard Drew, owner of the former King's Grant Inn on Kimball Road, came before selectmen Wednesday night with his new partner, Tom Lyons, and his attorney, David Bownes.
They were asking for a new entertainment license that would allow exotic dancing and other adult events such as "wet T-shirt" and "hot legs" contests at their club, which has a new name, the Lakes Region Cafe and Tavern, said selectmen Chair Kevin Hayes.
But they were set back by two problems with their application: They don't yet have their liquor license from the state, and the town planning and land use director found technical issues with Drew's last entertainment permit that needs to be addressed with the zoning board.
So selectmen approved a permit that bars alcohol sales and adult entertainment. Drew and Lyons were instructed that they can return to selectmen with their requests if they get a liquor license and if they resolve the issues facing them with the zoning board.
"We gave them a license, but there will be no wet T-shirts, no hot legs, and no exotic dancing for now," Hayes said.
Drew and Lyons already faced a potentially tough battle with selectmen, who were divided last year on their vote denying exotic dancing in town. The vote was 2-1, with Hayes and Selectman John O'Brien, voting against exotic dancing, while Selectman Gus Benevides voted to allow the business to continue with exotic dancing.Selectmen said they were concerned about the safety of the dancers following the October 2011 drug dealing arrests of several dancers at the club, which was called Mardi Gras North Cabaret at the time.Drew, who could not be reached for comment, was cleared of any wrongdoing in the case or of having knowledge of the incidents.Hayes, who was the chief opponent of allowing exotic dancing at the club during the board's discussions last summer, said he hasn't changed his mind."I still hear from a lot of people who just don't want exotic dancing in our town," he said.

ALTAMAHAW � Playing it safe Friday night put Dustin Rumley in an exceedingly sound position.
Opting not to push the envelope and settling for a second-place finish in the 75-lap Late Models feature at Ace Speedway, he left the race track having effectively maintained his considerable points lead.
�We did what we wanted to do,� Rumley said, �stay out of trouble and at least get a top five. I can�t complain.
�I probably could�ve come up through there faster, but I was just trying to play it cool and make sure I didn�t get in any trouble and keep my nose clean.�
While Barry Beggarly led wire to wire in supplying his sixth victory of the season, it�s Rumley who enters next week�s 100-lap season finale holding a 36-point lead in the championship hunt.
The 22-year-old McLeansville driver has arrived at the doorstep of his second title in Ace�s premier classification.
And even though it would take disaster to unseat him, Rumley understandably remains mindful of such a freak circumstance.
�It�s never clinched up until the last checkered flag falls,� he said. �Who knows what could happen. Twenty cars might show up next week. I could crash on the first lap or something could happen and that�s it, I finish dead last, and it�s over.�
Rumley, in his No. 88 Chevrolet, posted the quickest qualifying performance with a lap of 15.863 seconds. He then started the main event in seventh after an inversion of the top qualifiers and quickly climbed into contention.
A chance at victory never fully materialized. But Rumley posted his seventh consecutive top-2 finish since early July, a clutch surge of consistency during the season�s most critical stages.
�That�s how championships are won, right there,� he said. �Wins are great, but when it comers down to the wire, you�ve got to be consistent and stay out of trouble.�
Pelham�s Beggarly, meanwhile, sensed plenty of trouble brewing early in the night when his team bolted race tires on his No. 82 Chevrolet and the response was a distant sixth-place effort in qualifying.
�I was concerned,� Beggarly said. �I said, �Oh, man, we�re terrible.� But my son, the crew chief, he made a few good adjustments and dialed us right in.�
Beggarly worked the higher outside line to bolt past Thomas Scott�s No. 8 car and lead the opening lap. He navigated two double-file restarts from there to reach Victory Lane.
Reidsville�s Rodney Cook placed third among the 12-car field. Burlington�s Dean Fogleman finished fourth, followed by Kernersville�s Brad Kurth in fifth.
-- In the 35-lap Limited Late Models race, driving with the mindset that Friday night was a must-win situation, Boo Boo Dalton went out and delivered his eight victory of the season to set up a championship showdown in two weeks.
The win tied Dalton, the teenager from Liberty, with Haw River�s Jason Payne atop the division points standings. Ace�s pair of season-ending races Sept. 28 will decide who claims the title.
�I knew that if I didn�t win, I was going to get farther back,� Dalton said of his first victory since Aug. 3. �It feels good to be back here again. It�s been a long time since we�ve been in Victory Lane.�
Dalton was running in second position before two official laps had been completed and secured the lead, which he never relinquished, two laps later.
Payne finished as the runner-up despite an experience that had to feel like some sort of obstacle course.
The engine expired in his No. 9 Ford during pre-race practice. Robert Turner lent his No. 13 Late Models car for Payne to drive, and that required carburetor and tire changes to conform to Limited Late Models standards.
And because he entered on a streak of three straight victories, Payne started in the rear of the 15-car field. But he steadily climbed to the front and placed second, a crucially important result given the stakes.
-- In the 30-lap Modifieds race, Brian King finally found an angle around early leader Tom Buzze and rocketed away to his sixth victory in nine starts this season.
Buzze�s No. 5 car spun on the 16th lap, opening the door for Gibsonville�s King to pounce. He had hovered in second position for at least 10 laps.
Pfafftown�s Randy Butner finished second and leads Devin Steele of Stuart, Va., by 18 points in the championship chase. Steele placed third among the 13-car field.
-- Friday night�s other winners at Ace were Mocksville�s A.J. Sanders (25-lap Mini Stocks) and Gibsonville�s Keith Brame (20-lap X-treme Cars).
Sanders picked up his seventh Mini Stocks victory of the season while Thomasville�s Michael Tucker finished second. Tucker holds a comfortable 30-point lead in the division�s title pursuit.
Brame won for the 10th time this season in X-treme Cars. He leads McLeansville�s Ben Walker by eight points in the championship standings.

I am not those people. I have a natural disposition to grasp material that seems hard to everyday people and apply it rather quickly, or in other words, learn it quicker than other people. People call that genius and people like that are generally categorized as genius' because of that ability. Their minds work faster and operate at higher levels. I don't necessarily label myself as such but I would be considered one. I can read an average 200 page (not some idiotic, simpleton novel either, I am making reference to Soren) novel in one night or a little above an hour. Then again, I've been reading books all of my life so reading fast possibly has a small percentage pertaining to level of operation of the brain. Text books which are 800 pages generally take me a week to get through if I am trying to grasp, not all of it, but the core concepts of each chapter/section. @pace: I am not reading about law school, I am reading about law in general that is taught in law school. I am basically getting the same information you are getting or learning the same material. There was one law student here a few months ago who was a 2L and I knew more about the law and could interpret it better than him. I basically gave the guy a free lesson on the law. He knew close to little of what I know. I don't have to be in law school to know more than you, I read more text books, can grasp material faster, and know actual people who are lawyers. The only difference between me and you is the age gap and the fact that you are in law school. However, that has little bearing on you being more well-versed than myself on the law.
Can someone just please answer the question! AHHHHH.
Yeah, this site is not for anwers, its for BSing You didn't know that?
QuoteYeah, this site is not for anwers, its for BSing You didn't know that?The site is for both. I would appreciate if you answered serious questions (in the sence that its not a joke question) with a serious answer, rather than flaming with another poster. If you have no intention whatsoever of answering the question, then why post on this specific question?Also, I am pretty sure the schools all do it at the same time, since the ABA releases that information annually.

"A tough talk in tough times" splashed across the front page of our city's morning paper not long ago. But it was the huge accompanying photo that delivered the real emotional punch. Kneeling in the aisle of a toy store, a mother aimed guilty and beseeching eyes upward, toward her young son, her expression saying, "I am so sorry, but we can't afford it."
It's sadly familiar during these recession years: the pangs of gloom and guilt we experience as parents, especially with the approach of Christmas.
But this uptick in parental guilt hits those hardest who embrace the nation's premier child-rearing creed: I just want my kids to be happy.
It's a philosophy I've been writing and speaking about for several years, struggling to convince loving moms and dads that their youngsters' true happiness will never result from the accumulation of material things. Each time I think I've found the perfect words to convey my message, the marketplace elbows me aside with the constant message to buy, buy, buy.
What we so easily forget is that one of the key elements of true happiness is a sense of gratitude. It's one of the eight elements that research has revealed to be part of the lives of truly happy people. But how do we help our children develop a sense of gratitude?
Research shows that children who grow up receiving a never-ending stream of stuff are less grateful for what they have. In other words, less is more. While fewer packages under the Christmas tree might trigger momentary disappointment, there's a very real likelihood that greater appreciation and thankfulness for what they have will be the long-term takeaway.
Some tips for promoting gratitude in your children's lives:
- Model gratitude for your kids by commenting frequently on the blessings in your own life.
- Create a mealtime ritual where each family member names one or two things that went well that day. Teaching children to focus on what's positive is one way to encourage an attitude of appreciation. Kids as young as three or four can be taught to participate in this ritual.
- Gently denying your kids some of what they ask for is more likely to foster gratitude than giving them so much that they come to expect that life's bounty is limitless.
- Gratitude can develop when children engage in acts of loving kindness, like donating toys they no longer play with or clothing they no longer wear. It's an action that calls their attention to the ways they are blessed and fortunate. (Be sure they themselves carry the giveaway items into the homeless shelter or the hospital's pediatric ward.)
May this holiday season be a time that your children receive from you not just the stuff they see in stores, but the gratitude-building experiences that support a lifetime of authentic happiness.
Got any tips of your own for raising grateful children?

The desperate Democratic party has metamorphosed into a Conservative hate group : Ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) admitted Tuesday that she "can't say that everything is truthful" about the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh brought forth by far-left activist Christine Ford : It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see through the dems plan to stop the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh before the midterm elections : The dems say she's credible,she doesn't know when,what year,what day,what house.what neighbourhood,what suburb,but she knows Kavanaugh did it,that's what dems call credibility? Now she's refusing to show up to tell her story to the committee,this is a political hit job from the Anita Hill playbook.

This tweet should tell everyone what the angry mob democrats are really all about : The writer of this vile tweet is a writer on the Stephen Colbert show, and has nearly 40,000 followers on Twitter. As the Senate confirmation vote was gearing up, she wanted everyone to know that "whatever happens" she is "just" glad she ruined a man's life. Never mind if he was innocent, never mind any of the facts or corroborations or shifting stories of his accuser. The important thing to her was ruining his life. That was what mattered.

In late October President Trump ordered that "the veil be lifted" from the investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. More than 3,000 new, previously classified FBI, CIA, and Congressional documents were released to the public. A quick overview of the material shows that the bulk of it pertains either to the CIA's covert operations against Cuba : We cannot avoid the impression that these huge document dumps – along with the scores of "investigations" conducted over the last 54 years, in addition to the books and movies about this cryptic murder – have one goal: to keep whoever really ordered the JFK assassination from being brought to justice : In order to get closer to unraveling one of the most mysterious political murders of the 20th century, we should turn our attention to an obscure document signed by that resident of the Oval Office less than six months before his death. On June 4, 1963, President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110, authorizing the US Treasury to issue paper currency that could be redeemed for silver held by the treasury. As a result, this US currency was printed in denominations of $2 and $5 and inscribed with the words "United States Note" instead of "Federal Reserve Note.",Kennedy's order was intended to wean the Federal Reserve System away from printing money, beginning a smooth transition toward returning the printing press to the hands of the American government.Follow @jackool50
"President Trump is facing a full-blown coup d'état, sooner or later. The treasonous co-conspirators are setting up the country so as to spring into action on several fronts. When they execute the final putsch will be determined more by sheer desperation than anything else. They really don't want to overthrow Trump violently, but will eventually feel the absolute necessity to do so. This will be their only way to stay out of prison. Here's the real problem for the POTUS: He can only trigger a military solution when all of his ducks are in a row. Should Trump act prematurely, his success will be put in jeopardy. Should he act too late, his administration will be in grave danger." — Former U.S. Military Officer and Intelligence AnalystFollow @jackool50
Since 9/11, The US Govt Has 'Lost' $58,000 —EVERY SINGLE SECOND : When U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld revealed that the Pentagon was missing $2.3 trillion on Sept. 10, 2001, it seemed like a massive amount—little did the American people know that the events that would occur the next day would wipe the missing money from the headlines, and over the next 16 years, the amount of money the government is missing would increase at a rate in excess of $58,000 per second. While $2.3 trillion may seem like a lot, another government agency admitted to losing triple the amount in 2009, when former Inspector General Elizabeth Coleman admitted that the Federal Reserve could not account for $9 trillion.Follow @jackool50
If Adolf Hitler and his brown shirts were alive today,they would find a home in the Democratic party : Unlike the liberals i grew up with,today's so-called progressives are an intolerant,racist anti free speech,obsessed with the perversion and paedophilia of Hollywood and it's sexual predators,it's ironic that,although not all democrats are sexual predators and paedophiles,the majority Hollywood's sexual predators and paedophiles are democrats or progressives : To make matters worse,these same lefties go out of their way to protect their progressive perverts and paedophiles because they are democratic fund raisers,like Harvey Weinstein and many others in tinsel town or should we refer to Hollywood as the "Perverts Paradise" : The liberal intelligentsia just love to be photographed with these child molesters and sexual deviants,perhaps it's says a lot a bout todays liberals,people who i once was part of,but now can find no common ground,they are intolerant,racist,white hating bunch of Nazi's and Fascist.Follow @jackool50

"I can't find one person who has been using the Nexus 7 for an extended period of time, and hasn't seen a massive downgrade in performance. Just what kind of downgrade are we talking here? I cannot pick up my Nexus 7 without experiencing problems like a lag of ten seconds, or more, just to rotate the display; touches refusing to acknowledged; stuttering notification panel actions; and unresponsive apps." Fully and utterly agreed. My Nexus 7 was blazing-fast and awesome for a few months, and at some point, it just started sucking. Just like that. I've tried loads of ROMs, and nothing helps.

Rina N needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 256 designs submitted by 32 freelance designers.
Rina Nouveau - electrifying aerial performance
I'm a professional aerialist based out of NYC. I travel through out the US and abroad to perform. I'm also a dancer/singer/actress/fire performer - yes I do many things! :) My specialty however is in my aerial work - think Cirque du Soleil.
I want the logo to represent me/my brand and to stand out so that when people see it, they know it comes from quality.
It will be used for all promo material:
- business cards, invoices, my website (which will be designed after the logo has been picked), you name it!
- I perform for a different array of audiences from nightclubs to corp events, however I want my logo to be geared towards more middle to high-end audiences. Yet, not too corporate and stiff since what I do is very artistic.
- Brand name: Rina Nouveau
- Tag line: electrifying aerial performance
- The logo does not necessarily have to have both the brand name and tag line together, it needs to be legible and easily able to be placed anywhere.
- No icons of a dancer/person, BUT if you are to put one in, please use the image of me on the hoop, with no detail to my face, just a silhouette
- No flowers
- Play with the text, remember what I do is artistic, please check the pictures posted to get a better idea.
- My favorite text has been Trajan only because it's sleek and to the point, but if there is something better please go ahead!
- I'm going for something elegant, exquisite, yet edgy, above all professional
- Have fun with the usage of colors, something with depth
- Needs to be eye catching!

Calif. city tries humor to keep butts out of parks
GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) — It's not the kind of sign you usually see at a park: "″Our deer don't smoke in your backyard. Please don't smoke in theirs."
But the Los Angeles foothill suburb of Glendale hopes such jokes will do a serious job and keep smokers from trashing local parks and trails.
The Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/12yElO8 ) says 18 humorous signs were put up in April throughout the Verdugo and San Rafael mountains, at the Glendale Sports Complex and Deukmejian Wilderness Park.
Other samples: "Do not throw cigarette butts on the ground. Our squirrels are getting cancer" and "Smokers will be fed to the bears."
Smoking is banned on city trails and parks but the city doesn't have enough workers to patrol every trail.

GENEVA (AP) — The U.N. investigator for human rights in North Korea urged the world body Tuesday to open an inquiry into the secretive Asian nation for possible crimes against humanity.
In a report to the 47-nation U.N. Human Rights Council, Marzuki Darusman recommended that it authorize an investigation of North Korea's "grave, widespread and systematic violations of human rights."
The report to the U.N.'s top human rights body cited violations such as having prison camps, enforcing disappearances and using food to control people.
North Korea's U.N. Ambassador in Geneva, So Se Pyong, denounced the report and described Darusman — a former attorney general of Indonesia — as a "politically motivated" official whose job amounts to serving as "a marionette running here and there in order to represent the ill-minded purposes of the string-pullers such as the U.S., Japan and the member states of the (European Union)."
The Human Rights Council and the General Assembly have already condemned North Korea's human rights record, but the U.N.'s top rights official, Navi Pillay, said last month that stronger action is needed, including an investigation authorized by the United Nations but performed by independent experts.
Pillay said as many as 200,000 people are being held in North Korean political prison camps rife with torture, rape and slave labor, and that some of the abuses may amount to crimes against humanity.
North Korea maintains that U.S. hostility and the threat of American troops in South Korea also are key reasons behind its nuclear ambition. The U.S. stations about 28,500 troops in South Korea, a legacy of the 1950-53 Korean War, which ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.
Last year, Darusman told the New York-based General Assembly's human rights committee that he saw no improvement in human rights under Kim Jong Un and urged the country's new leader to divert money from his "military first" policy to help more than 60 percent of the population suffering from a lack of food.
Darusman said Kim, who succeeded his father more than a year ago, had made it his top priority to strengthen the military while about 16 million of North Korea's 25 million people suffer from hunger and malnutrition.

Do know that has a room full of book will give impression of someone also look smart. If you did is a nerds, it can be assumed that you also now have many books at home. And if it is the, then surely you need the bookshelf to set a collection books you to look neat and not straggle. Select the bookshelf surely is not a difficult thing.
However, if you include people who pay also attention to the aesthetics of the interior room of the house. Hence the need to work hard to select it to make it look in tune with the atmosphere of a room of your house. The bookshelf is one of furnishings that commonly found. Furnishing is not only offer room for storing books or goods, but can also serves as wall hangings. The bookshelf can placed also anywhere in in your house.

This bookcase here appears to have design unique and interesting place book depository right, left, and the middle part of lower. While part above middle you can use to read books lying relaxed if have pipes former not used, maybe can be used as a shelf book.

Anthony Swofford - Hospitals, Hotels and Jails
Anthony Swofford's new memoir, Hotels, Hospitals, and Jails, chronicles how in the years after the success of his book Jarhead, he went on a binge of self-destructive excess. He lost almost everything and everyone that mattered to him.
Swofford pulled himself out of his near-deadly slump by reconnecting with his estranged and dying father, a philandering, hard-drinking Vietnam veteran. The two stubborn men took off on a series of RV trips where they frequently butted heads while slowly learning to understand one another.
Co-sponsored by the Writers at Work Roundtable and the UMKC English Department; organized by Kansas City author Whitney Terrell.

Is there a �remote� chance this guy isn�t guilty?
It�s not often we chuckle over crime stories, but in Salem the other day, a man was arrested after police received a tip he might have stolen a neighbor�s television set. During the police�s visit to Miguel Suarez�s sixth-floor apartment, Mr. Suarez ran into his bedroom for a moment. The Associated Press doesn�t report whether a �thump� was heard, but police found the television outside, after it was apparently thrown from the bedroom window.
How did police receive the tip? It seems Mr. Suarez had barged into the apartment of the owner of the stolen television in search of the remote control. When the neighbor told him the thieves had taken it along with the TV, Mr. Suarez allegedly replied, �No, they didn�t.�
We do understand that, for some, a television is almost useless without the remote. Who has time to get up and change the channel? And we hope the suspect, if he did this � Mr. Suarez pleaded not guilty to receiving stolen property and malicious destruction of property � learns his lesson. Larceny, and laziness, just don�t pay.
We also wonder: Who needs to watch made-up dramas from the couch, when real life is so entertaining?

Baal's Priests
The English Civil War was a time of disruption, suffering and persecution for many people, not least the clergy of the established church, who found themselves ejected from their livings in increasing numbers as Parliamentarian forces extended their control across the country. Yet, historians have tended to downplay their suffering. Drawing upon an impressive array of sources - most notably the remarkable set of family and parish memories collected by John Walker in the early years of the eighteenth century - this book refocuses attention on the experiences of the sequestered loyalist clergy during the turbulent years of the 1640s and 1650s. The study highlights how the experiences of the clergy can help illuminate events in wider society, whilst at the same time acknowledging the unique situation in which Church of England ministers found themselves.
