Eichorst: New Husker AD Screams Midwest
Randy York's N-Sider
Shawn Eichorst Tuesday showed he's a man of action. Guided by a well-written script that reinforced why Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman used a search firm to identify and then lure Tom Osborne's successor from his first Division I athletic director job in Miami, Eichorst emulated some Osborne characteristics. He was more substance than style, more steak than sizzle and more humble than enthusiastic.
Nebraska's new athletic director "in waiting" said all the right things. More importantly, he hit the daily double for Nebraska student-athletes, coaches and fans. First, he told athletic department workers and then later members of the media that he was in Lincoln to launch himself into what he liked to call the four L's – To Look, to Listen and to Learn from a Legend.
Secondly, everything about Shawn Eichorst seemed to scream Midwest, which bases its values on faith and family and an honest day's work. There's not even a hint of flash or fame with this hire. "I am humbled and honored to be chosen to lead one of America's best athletic programs at a phenomenal university," Eichorst said. "This is a special place, a special city and a very special state."
Growing Up on the Farm, Watching Football
Eichorst isn't a native, but he seems to fit the Nebraska culture like a glove.
"As a young boy growing up on the farmlands of southwest Wisconsin, my days were filled with family, church, school, work. I worked in the fields. I bailed hay, fed the pigs, milked the cows and detasseled corn, believe it or not ... and yes sports, particularly football," Eichorst said.
"Like my friends," he added, "I lived for Saturdays in the fall to watch Big Ten and Big Eight football, staring in awe at the great athletes on the television, including your own and soon-to-be my own Mike Rozier, Dave Rimington and Roger Craig.
"I remember watching the famed Blackshirts of Nebraska playing so many classic regular-season and postseason games. As a kid growing up in Wisconsin, I must admit that I had to cheer for the Badgers and, of course, the Packers. I'm so very pleased that I get to cheer for at least one of those teams, and that would be the Packers," Eichorst said, getting a laugh from the media at UNL's Visitors Center.
Eichorst focused his prepared remarks on Nebraska's vision and values, its elite status in academics and athletics, why he pursued a job that sought him rather than the other way around and the impact that Barry Alvarez and other mentors had in helping him to make his decision to leave Miami.
Eichorst Will Take the Reins on Jan. 1, 2013
Nebraska's new athletic director will be a special assistant for Perlman and serve alongside Osborne to "immerse" himself into both the University of Nebraska and the Athletic Department for the remainder of the year. He will replace Osborne as AD on Jan. 1, 2013, and mentioned how happy he is that Osborne has agreed to stay the first six months of next year to see some major projects through and to help Eichorst transition into his new job.
After thanking Perlman for "an amazing opportunity", Eichorst expressed his appreciation for Nebraska's administrative and athletic staffs for making his family feel welcome in Lincoln. He thanked Osborne for his "support and willingness to allow me to learn from a legend."
To frame his own opinion, Eichorst used a quote from mega Nebraska fan Warren Buffett, who said: "When most people think of Tom Osborne, they think of a great football coach. When I think of Tom Osborne, I think of a man of character who quietly but effectively improves the lives of everyone he encounters." That, in a nutshell, explains why Eichorst looks forward to improving his life while working for Coach Osborne.
Eichorst also thanked Husker Nation for its "warm embrace" and said Big Red fans are "proof that passion and class go hand-in-hand."
'The Legacy of Those Who Came Before Us'
When Eichorst thinks of Nebraska, he sees the momentum of continued excellence and Osborne's leadership in "solid red" sellout crowds at Memorial Stadium. He sees the steel structures of Pinnacle Bank Arena. He even sees the faces of Nebraska volleyball players "after yet another win." It all adds up, Eichorst said, to "the legacy of those who came before us and who laid the foundation for what comes next.
"I am so excited to be a Husker," Eichorst said. "I have come to admire the sustained excellence that Nebraska represents on the field and in the classroom. With more academic All-Americans than any school in America, Nebraska has so much to be proud of."
Steeped in his own Midwestern values, Eichorst has a pretty good idea of how Nebraska has won so many national and conference championships in a variety of sports and why Husker fans, young and old alike, are "wild, knowledgeable, supportive and enthusiastic."
Because of his love for football, Eichorst feels fortunate to have played at Division III Wisconsin-Whitewater, a school that he later led as athletic director. When he played there, "It wasn't big time, but it was big enough for me," he said. "What I've learned on the football field – resilience, persistence, determination, work ethic, teamwork, toughness – would carry me through law school, the business world and college athletics. I have never wavered in my belief that athletics cannot only provide opportunity; it can be one of life's great teachers."
Osborne to Help Eichorst 'Get Comfortable'
Now, of course, after hearing Alvarez regale him with all kinds of stories dating back to his playing days for Bob Devaney, Shawn Eichorst – the farm kid who grew up watching the Big Ten and Osborne's Big Eight juggernaut teams – gets the chance to spend the next two months alongside that living legend.
"I'm not here to look backward," Osborne told a small army of reporters who stopped him on his way out the door of the Visitors Center. "I'm here to help Shawn get acclimated and get comfortable with the situation. That's what we're going to work on. Shawn was very kind in his comments, but he's going to have to be his own person, and he will be."
Osborne decided to retire to eliminate doubt about being 75 years old. "We have a guy (Eichorst) who has another 20 or 30 years in him, and so you don't have to worry about that (age) anymore," Osborne said.
Eichorst is not among the doubters. "Coach Osborne is probably going to get tired of seeing me," he said. "I hope to be into his back pocket as much as I can. I think this is a wonderful setup for me to immerse myself in everything Nebraska, and it doesn't necessarily have to be athletics. I really want to get to know the people of the state and the culture, the academics and all the great research that is going on here at the University of Nebraska. It's an opportunity for me to take a deep breath, and not on a shot clock or a play clock. I can just kind of see things play out ... a lot of looking, listening and learning from a legend."
There's No Need to Reinvent the Wheel
"My expectations are to carry on the history and tradition," Eichorst said. "I don't think this is a place that you have to reinvent the wheel. I think what you have to do is get yourself immersed in everything Nebraska. My goal would be to make something that is already great, better."
There will be two catalysts that can make that happen: 1) Osborne, who was teaching business classes at UNL when Perlman asked him to return to Nebraska as athletic director five years ago; and 2) Eichorst, who wants to be a sponge working alongside an Athletic Director Emeritus.
What a combination ... a teacher who will do everything humanly possible to ensure a smooth transition, so he can pass the torch to a willing student who wants to soak up everything he can in the opportunity of a lifetime.
Sounds like Harvey Perlman found the right man to follow a legend.

Bell Rock Growers Pet Greens Garden powered with Green Nutrition for Dogs and Cats makes it easy to grow your own luscious, healthy, organic greens – just soak, sprout, plant and watch them grow.
Greens are rarely found in a domestic pet's commercially produced food. However, many experts believe that before animals were domesticated, greens were part of their daily diets.
Living in the wild, a dog or cat would have hunted birds, rodents or reptiles, consuming them whole and receiving green nutrients through the contents of the prey's stomach. As an alternative for domesticated animals, cereal grasses, such as wheat grass, may be added in moderate amounts to satisfy their attraction to greens.
Pressing Grass Questions
Why do cats and dogs eat grass?While dogs are considered omnivores and cats carnivores, both are able to digest plants and utilize their nutrients. One theory suggests that dogs and cats used to get greens in the wild when hunting smaller grass-eating prey, but lack this green nutrition in domesticated diets. To satisfy their attraction to greens, cats and dogs may be tempted to eat harmful houseplants or chemically-treated outside grasses. A safer, healthier solution is a container of fresh, nutritious, 100 percent certified organic Pet Greens® Live Pet Grass®. You may choose to grow your own with Pet Greens® Garden self-grow wheat grass kits, or purchase conveniently packaged Pet Greens® Treats made with organic wheat grass.
Do I need to monitor how much wheat grass my pet consumes?Pets love wheat grass and may devour it quickly, but they should only ingest a small amount of this nutrient-rich treat at a time. Rabbits, guinea pigs, or other smaller animals should be served wheat grass in moderation. Give small clippings per serving or remove the wheat grass after a few nibbles. Consult a veterinarian for advice on proper feeding amounts for each of your pets.
Country of Origin: USA
Manufacturer: Bell Rock Growers
Shipping Weight: 0.23
Suggested Use
Cats - Place by feeding bowl or window as a healthy alternative to potentially harmful houseplants.
Dogs - Add fine clippings to wet or dry food as a nutrient-packed alternative to chemically treated lawn grass.
Feeding - Feed to your pet as a healthy reward or snack. Pet Grass can be fed to cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and small animals. Adjust the serving size according to the size of your pet. Reptiles and small animals should only be fed small amounts of Pet Grass. Consult your veterinarian for more information about the proper serving size for your pet.
10 Easy Steps to Grow Your Own Wheat Grass
If your dog or cat is an indoor/outdoor pet, limiting exposure to potentially harmful greenery may be a challenge, but you can help divert their attention by providing their own supply of greens. Growing high quality wheat grass isn't as difficult as you might imagine. With just 10 easy steps in less than two weeks, you can create a nutrient-rich indoor garden for you and your pet.
Wheat grass can be juiced or finely chopped into food. Once your pets have been introduced to the taste of wheat grass, they may prefer to nibble straight from the tray.
How to Care for Pet Greens Pet Grass
Pet Greens Live Pet Grass typically lasts about 2-3 weeks. Follow the instructions below to maintain healthy growth and keep your Pet Grass fresh and delicious for its full life-span. Pet Grass cannot be re-potted and should be replaced on a regular basis.
Watering - Water your Pet Grass about twice a week. The best way to water your Pet Grass is to place the container in a saucer and water it from the bottom. Make sure the soil stays moist but do not let your Pet Grass stand in water.
Light/Ventilation - Place your Pet Grass in a bright, well ventilated location. Avoid direct sunlight and/or hot locations. A bright kitchen window is ideal! Pet Grass is considered a leafy green. The best way to extend the life of your Pet Grass is to put the container in the refrigerator at night.

Vacancy (UK - BD)
Scott McKenzie wishes he'd stayed on the interstate and avoided this motel...
Young married couple David and Amy are on the road, going home after attending Amy's parents' anniversary party. For the whole trip they've been pretending they have a happy marriage, but after the death of their son it's only a matter of time until they go their separate ways. Trying to avoid getting them stuck in a traffic jam on the interstate, David turns down a country road and leads them into the middle of nowhere. When their car breaks down in the middle of the night, they have no choice but to check into a creepy-looking motel run by a creepy-looking manager…
During my time at DVDActive I've reviewed a few short horror/thrillers like When A Stranger Calls, Fragile and Black Xmas and I'd definitely say that Vacancy can be added to that collection. Like those other movies in the list, Vacancy clocks in at less than an hour and a half, contains stars from the Hollywood B-list (or below) and unfortunately isn't really gory enough to be a decent horror movie and isn't really scary enough to be a decent thriller. That aside, Vacancy isn't a total failure.
A couple in the process of splitting up being brought back together as they attempt to overcome the obstacles in front of them might not be the most original idea ever, and the two headline stars aren't exactly pushed to their limits, but their performances are convincing enough to keep the story moving along nicely. Director Nimrod Antal came up with the concept of the manager of a tumbledown motel murdering his guests to make snuff movies when he wondered how the owners of seemingly empty hotels paid the bills. It's an idea that allows for some decent early scares when David and Amy realise what's in store for them but it's when the story really gets going that we find ourselves in thriller-by-the-numbers territory.
The main problem is that it's pretty much all been done before, and done a lot better. It's difficult to stretch the setup of two people stuck in a motel room fighting for their lives to a feature-length running time and there's a lot of sitting around talking in the darkness that left me wondering what the bad guys were up to and why they didn't get on with killing their guests. If I had been watching Vacancy with a checklist of horror movie clichés, I'm pretty confident I'd have ticked off the whole lot, including sticking doors, cars that won't start, a lost mobile phone and someone you might not expect to talk to on the end of a 911 call.
If you look hard enough there's plenty of plot holes to be found as well. Is it really possible to sneak up on someone across a wide patch of gravel? Don't the police care when one of their officers doesn't report back in when he is dispatched to investigate an attempted murder? The whole thing feels like the writer came up with a pretty good idea but didn't really know how to end it. I was expecting some kind of major twist or blatant setup for a sequel but got neither. Instead, it just seems to stop and there's a good chance you'll have forgotten what you've watched by the time the credits have finished rolling.
It takes a while to get going and once it does, Vacancy dishes out the standard stock horror characters and devices, not even making the bad guys look that menacing, and the whole thing is over before you know it. It's difficult to truly love or truly hate anything about this decidedly average movie. Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson are always watchable, but they definitely deserve better material than what is on offer here.
Vacancy is the second of the first batch of Blu-ray discs I've got in my review pile and I'm quickly becoming impressed with the detail in the picture on this format. It raises a couple of interesting points that I'd never noticed before, even in a cinema. First of all, I've started to pay more attention to lighting, especially when a movie like Vacancy is based on a set for most of the running time. I found it easier to pick out the direction of light sources, which took me out of the movie when I noticed white light coming from a source that obviously didn't exist in the 'world' I was supposed to be immersed in.
The second point is that the facial imperfections and makeup are more noticeable, especially when the viewer can pause the high definition picture at will. The quality of the picture itself is pretty decent. I noticed some areas that were a little grainy, in particular scenes with low lighting, but they weren't obvious when I was more than six feet away from my 37-inch screen. The black level isn't quite perfect, with the dark sky appearing slightly grey against the black widescreen bar at the top of the screen, but these are really just little niggles that I feel compelled to point out due to the generally high picture quality on offer here.
This disc comes with both Dolby Digital 5.1 and uncompressed PCM 5.1 audio tracks. Because the movie takes a while to get going, there's not a lot to impress early on, although there are no problems with the dialogue that features heavily in the first act. Once the action is thrust upon us, the surround speakers are given a workout by the typical 'jump out of your seat now' effects and the sounds of bad guys outside the motel room, tormenting our heroes inside. There's a nice bit of echo on the characters' voices at appropriate times and overall I'd say the audio complements the visual experience well but it's not the most inventive or impressive soundtrack I've ever heard, just like the movie itself.
The featurette about the cast and crew, with interviews focusing on the characters, the writer and an interesting segment about the design of the motel set, is the short highlight in this small set of extras. The alternate opening was left out for good reason, giving away far too much about the ending of Vacancy and involves a cast far larger than the rest of the movie, which probably means there were a lot of unhappy people left on the cutting room floor. One deleted scene and extended versions of the snuff films shown during the movie are the only other features included on this disc, which are all presented in standard definition.
Vacancy isn't the worst movie I've seen this year but it's certainly one of the most forgettable. This Blu-ray release looks and sounds good but the extras wouldn't convince me to pick up this release, even if I was a fan of the movie. If you're still thinking you might like to watch it after my ho-hum review it might be worth giving it a rent, but I don't think there's enough in the movie or the extra features to warrant repeated viewings.

Everyone raved about this film, but I just didn't see what was so great about it. I thought it was terrible. Why Beckinsale and Wilson would waste their time on this is beyond me.

I actually thought this movie was pretty good, yeah I agree there were a lot of cliched areas but I think where originality is very very hard to achieve as it has all been done before in some way shape or form.

You can still do a film without clichés invovled to make it predictable. "The Sixth Sense" and "Good Night and Good Luck" proved that. If any filmmaker thinks originality is impossible to acheive, they're just not trying hard enough.

Eight years ago, "Around Town" shared the story of Ina Lewis' successful search for two missing links in her maternal family – half sisters Sally Hogsett Andrews and Barbara Hogsett Hein.
Ina, a Blue Springs resident at the time, recalled how she finally found and met her two half siblings following a lengthy search to obtain more information about her biological parents she never knew.
All Ina knew growing up was she was born in 1933 in the Willows Maternity Home in Kansas City as the illegitimate child of a 16-year-old schoolgirl from Olean, Mo., and a 20-year-old man from Enon, Mo. Three months after her birth, she was adopted by Ina and Earl Basey, who changed her name from Phyllis Shikles to Ina Basey.
It wasn't until a researcher joined the search that she discovered she had two half sisters residing in Oregon. Both were born to Ina's mother, Helen Shikles, who later married and bore two daughters. Helen died in 2001.
Ina, who now resides at John Knox Village in Lee's Summit, met her half sisters – Sally Andrews and Barbara Hein – for the first time in 2006 at Kansas City International Airport. Sally and Barbara also helped Ina search for traces of her biological father while sightseeing in central Missouri where he grew up.
Thus begins Part 2 of Ina's intriguing search for Robert Jenkins, her biological father.
"My adoptive mother gave me his name," she said in a recent interview. "She had all that information."
However, it wasn't until three years ago, when Ina gave her father's name to a Missouri researcher, that she hit the jackpot. The tracer found her father in one day, thus enabling Ina to locate five paternal siblings – Roberta Johnson, George Jenkins, Marty Ramsey and Jean Harr, who recently passed away. Another son died earlier.
Elated about finding four half siblings she never knew existed, Ina wrote all of them a letter informing them she was the family's missing link. Of course, none of the siblings knew Ina existed, either. A shock, to say the least.
"That was three years ago," she says. "We decided to meet in Washington, D.C., since the 'girls' were all quilters and would be attending a quilting seminar in Maryland."
With Ina's son, Kent Lewis, living in D.C., the siblings decided to gather at Kent's home for the get-to-know-you celebration of a family becoming one.
That was the plan. However, two weeks prior to the family get-together, Ina fell, broke a hip and was unable to make the long-awaited trip.
Although a big disappointment, "They went on and met with my son and called me in the rehab facility," Ina says, informing her they had decided to come to Missouri with their spouses and see their half sister.
And they did. They drove directly to Ina's Blue Springs home and stayed several days. There they bonded, got acquainted and discovered their many similarities and likes.
"They are wonderful, wonderful people," Ina says of her siblings, two of whom want to return to Missouri and see her home at John Knox Village. "So they may be coming soon."
But until they do, the siblings stay connected via the phone, letters and the Internet. They vow nothing will separate them now.
And what did Ina learn about her father?
Says Ina: It is believed that he was passing through the tiny railroad town of Olena, and "we think it was a 'hi, how are you and good-bye.'"
Ina says her siblings had nothing but wonderful things to say about their biological father.
"They told me their dad was so wonderful, (and) that if he had known that Helen (Ina's birth mom) was pregnant with me, he would have come back (to Olena) and married her," Ina says. "That is what they all said to me."
And what else did they say?
"...That their mother and father never had a cross word that they ever heard," she says, adding: "That's unbelievable."
Meeting and getting to know her half siblings has been a blessing, she says, explaining the best part about finding them is that "I now have medical histories from both sides of the families. Now I know (for sure)."
For adult adoptees born in Missouri to be able to access their original birth certificates and records, she knows that she and other activists cannot give up their longtime campaign to get the current laws changed.
"We have made some progress with some adoptees now being able to get their records," she says, noting these records do not include the birth certificate. "It's still denied."
Although some progress has been made, "There are two bills currently on the books this session (in Jefferson City) that are being stalled in committees in both the House and Senate.
Says Ina: "We adoptees are so tired of being treated as children and discriminated against because of our birth history. We feel that the government has absolutely no business keeping our birth certificates locked up. We feel that document is ours and ours alone, just as everyone else has theirs that were not adopted."
As for amended birth certificates, Ina says they are "a legal piece of fiction." "They aren't true," she says, explaining they bear only the adoptive names; not the original birth names.

Gift for Derry councilor criticized
By ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent
DERRY - A gift for departing Town Councilor Brian Chirichiello has created some controversy as well as a discussion about the way the council honors departing members.
Some councilors and residents are calling for Chirichiello to return the town-issued iPad he received from the town for his nine years of service on the council, while others just want the council to move forward and possibly adjust its gift policy.
Typically, departing town councilors are presented with a chair valued at $356 as a parting gift.
However, when Town Administrator John Anderson approached Chirichiello about a gift for serving nine years on the council, Anderson said Chirichiello stated he would rather have the iPad he had been issued as a councilor.
"Prior to last year, we had never done anything but a chair," said Anderson.
He said, however, that last year departing councilor Janet Fairbanks asked that money be donated to a charity and Kevin Coyle asked that the town install a bench along its bike path.
Ultimately, Anderson said there were issues with the taxes on a charity donation and Fairbanks accepted a chair, while the town installed a bench for Coyle, with Coyle paying the difference between the $356 for the chair and the cost of the bench.
In Chirichiello's case, Anderson said he brought in a check for the difference between the cost of the iPad and a chair.
"That was my decision to make and that was the decision," said Anderson.
He said it has been the administrative office's decision to handle gifts for departing councilors.
Anderson said he did not think there was anything wrong with the decision that he made.
"If the council would like to change the rules to what the gifts are for those going away from the council moving forward, then I'm happy to take your input on that issue," he said.
Councilor Mark Osborne said the council should take up a collection on its own if it wishes to honor a departing member.
"The responsibility falls on us and not on the public budget," said Osborne. "I've received at least 30 phone calls from concerned citizens over this issue."
Osborne also suggested that the council ask Chirichiello to return the iPad to the town, since he said the iPad was town property and that Anderson did not have the authority to give away town property without the approval of the Town Council.
"Just to be clear, we are talking about the policy moving forward," said Councilor Neil Wetherbee. "What's done is done. Mr. Anderson had the authority to do it."
Osborne disputed whether Anderson did have that authority.
"I have no doubt that the gift was done with well intentions, I don't think anyone disputes that," said Osborne. "For my own purposes, I'm having great difficulty locating the section (of the town charter) that would authorize our administrator, well-intentioned or not, with the power to be giving away town property."
Wetherbee said he did not agree with Anderson's decision, but said the council should be moving forward.
"This is not a decision I agreed with, and I expressed that to John personally," said Wetherbee. "But being one of seven councilors on this board, I don't have the authority to tell John what to do. That has to come from all seven councilors."
The council agreed to table the discussion on the iPad and the gift policy to get a better grasp on the town regulations.
Coyle said he took offense that Anderson would classify his request for a bench along the bike path with the request for an iPad.
"That bench is owned by the town and does not compare to an iPad," said Coyle.

Kolomatis' goal lifts MonarchsStaff report

If the Manchester Monarchs find a way into the AHL playoffs, they may have David Kolomatis to thank for it.
Kolomatis scored 1:50 into overtime on Sunday, lifting the Monarchs to a crucial 4-3 road victory over the Worcester Sharks at the DCU Center.
The win provided a crucial two points for Manchester in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt. The Monarchs have 71 points, four points behind eighth-place Hershey, with six games remaining.
For the winner, Kolomatis followed up his original shot, which had been blocked, at the right-wing face-off circle and wristed it past Sharks goalie Harri Sateri high over the stick side. David Meckler and Hunter Bishop claimed assists.
The Monarchs were two seconds away from winning the game in regulation when, with Sateri pulled, Freddie Hamilton knotted the game at 3-3.
Andrew Campbell, Jordan Weal and Brian O'Neill scored for Manchester to open up a 3-1 lead midway through the second period.
But Worcester, which had evened the game at 1-1 through Riley Brace in the second period, got even with a goal by Daniil Tarasov 17 seconds into the third period, and then Hamilton's late equalizer.
The Monarchs play their final three home games of the regular season next weekend: Friday against Connecticut, Saturday against Hershey and Sunday against Worcester.

Hi miendzai,
The mind is very complex. What is important to understand is conditionality. Defilements have fuel. When their fuel is removed, the candle can be put out.
All the best.
meindzai wrote:Kevin - first of all you are a very patient person with folks such as me (and Retro ) and I enjoy our discussions. You absolutely get points for khanti parami.
Absolutely. That is a more conventional use of the term. That is fine. But the distinction should also be understood, I feel, in order to dispel confusion.Meindzai wrote: Well, sati also means memory. For me it's remembering, or "keeping something in mind." Such as when the Buddha exhorts us to be mindful of the body:
If it is simply self-view and dosa (towards suffering) that motivate us to study and understand dhamma, then more self-view and dosa are conditioned, and not wisdom at that time. Panna, the cetasika of wisdom, however, can motivate us to study. In that case panna would understand the drawbacks of seeing things as seen and become inquisitive about how things really are. This conditions panna to arise again later (and panna arising more leads to satipatthana, and subsequently the stages of insight, and eventually to the mind turning away from conditioned dhammas and instead taking the unconditioned dhamma, namely nibbana, as it's object). Studying dhamma does not have to be motivated with self-view. Self-view doesn't arise with every citta.Meindzai wrote:
Kind of amused that, out of your reverence for anatta, you tend to phrase things in passive voice, ie. "dhamma is heard and attention is payed to it wisely." Because you're trying to avoid saying "If we listen to dhamma and pay it wise attention." I get the sentiment, but to me there is still an element of intention present. We still have to listen, and we still have to pay wise attention. Until we are at least stream entrants, and even up until Arahantship, it is impossible to do anything - whether it's listen to dhamma or practice meditation, without some element of self view present.
The mind is very complex. What is important to understand is conditionality. Defilements have fuel. When their fuel is removed, the candle can be put out.
All the best.

Principal Investigator(s):
I am a plant community ecologist, interested in what controls the number and types of species that occur in grasslands--managed, restored and native-–and the consequences of these controls for a variety of questions in ecology. As a Sabbatical Fellow as NCEAS, I will be focusing on analyzing data from several field experiments, in which we have fertilized grasslands and monitored the changes in species diversity and composition. My work will primarily be dedicated to two projects: 1) analysis of results from ongoing long-term research on the response to nutrient variety in a southwest Michigan grasslands and 2) analysis and synthesis of data from multiple Long-term Ecological Research (LTER) site experiments on how traits of plants that exhibit different forms of vegetative growth (also referred to as clonal growth) influence those species' response to fertilization in grasslands. I also hope to develop at NCEAS a database of traits for North American grassland species that can be used to analyze what conditions promote (or preclude) dominance by clonal species in response to nutrient enrichment from fertilization. Existing European species databases will be a model for developing this database.

Sixers' Dalembert wins J. Walker Kennedy Citizenship Award
Posted Apr 19 2010 1:16PM
NEW YORK -- Samuel Dalembert of the Philadelphia 76ers is the 2009-10 recipient of the J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award presented annually by the Professional Basketball Writers Association. The award is named for the second commissioner of the league and honors an NBA player or coach for outstanding service and dedication to the community.
Dalembert, an eight-year NBA veteran, has worked tirelessly to provide relief to victims of a devastating earthquake in his native Haiti since Jan. 12, 2010. In addition to making a personal donation of $100,000 to UNICEF, he visited the stricken country twice and raised awareness of the need for relief.
His Samuel Dalembert Foundation, founded in 2007, teams with UNICEF, the Red Cross and Feed the Children to assist relief efforts in Haiti.
Dalembert has also been active in helping to build a training facility and a school in Haiti called the Dalembert Academy.
"What Samuel has done should be a model for all professional athletes. He saw a crying need for help and worked tirelessly to give whatever aid he could while spurring others to act and contribute as well," said Doug Smith of the Toronto Star, president of the PBWA.
The PBWA represents approximately 150 writers for newspapers, magazines and Internet services who cover the NBA on a regular basis. Members nominate players and vote for the award. The finalists this season were Dalembert, Charlie Villanueva of the Detroit Pistons, Ronny Turiaf of the Golden State Warriors and Adonal Foyle of the Orlando Magic.

Tracy – what tests should I be having to diagnose non-absorption of B12. My serum B12 was tested at 175 and I was given 7 loading doses over a period of just over two weeks just before Christmas 2015. I was then offered injections every three months. I believe I have peripheral neuropathy in my feet which seemed to improve after the first week, and so, following advice gained in my research on the internet to follow the clinical symptoms to prevent further nerve damage, I asked for injections every other day 'until my symptoms improved (not stopped improving – as my doctor quoted me as requesting when she discontinued these after only three injections). I was given three more 'every-other-day' injections which were stopped after my doctor had consulted colleages. After insisting on the 'proper treatment' whilst waiting for a (now promised) referral to a neurologist I was given permission for a further course of injections but only managed to get one before they were again discontinued after my doctor had consulted a haematologist at the local hospital. Last week I spoke to another doctor in the practice and, after further lengthy discussion along the same lines, I have been offered another three injections as 'an experiment' – presumably to see if they 'work' again …. I did tell her that my doctor had told me that she was 'at the limit of her expertise', this after she had pointed out that my B12 now tested normal at 2,000 (UK) but had then agreed (eventually) with me that this was only to be expected after I had received so many B12 injections! My intrinsic factor was tested as was folate and iron, kidney and liver function plus a full blood count but only after the loading doses and at my request (I had been wildly scrabbling around for any information at that point as I was desperate but now I know that these should have been done prior to any treatment). All came back marked 'no action required'. I have rheumatoid arthritis (10mg steroids daily plus Leflumonide), osteoarthritis, diabetes (Methotrexate), under-active thyroid, asthma and COPD, high blood pressure (is it any wonder???), and have been taking Lansoprazole for a number of years. I am presently being investigated for breathing problems. I have been tested for an impaired immune system with an initial reading of 2.8 and after testing of 4.6 which apparently is acceptable as being on the way up (to 6). Any advice warmly welcomed
Mary Gannon says
I just ordered B12 supplements because I just found out I am deficient. What I don't understand is for how long I have to supplement. Is that forever or until my B12 is higher? What is the rule of thumb for stopping taking vitamins? Thank you
I can relate to Mowins. When I was hired by my first major sports broadcast network, I was the only female working at that station. I quickly realized that if I wanted to grow, I needed to break down some barriers and be proactive; opportunities weren't going to be handed to me. I had to continuously ask my boss for more responsibility, chances on air, and writing opportunities.
In order to break down the barriers between men and women in a professional setting, it's important that women are verbal. If you want a different role, or more responsibility, you need to go after it. No one is just going to hand it to you on a silver platter.Be professional
The sad truth is, women in the sports broadcasting industry still face harassment. In an interview with The Gridstone, sports reporter Trenni Kusnierek recalled several occasions where she was treated differently than her male counterparts. There would be times players would ask for her number, or drop their towels while she was in the locker room.
Kusnierek learned quickly how to handle those situations in a professional manner.
"I have no problem saying, 'That's inappropriate.' My biggest piece of advice for young women in the business is to carry yourself the way you want to be treated. If you want to be treated as a professional, do your homework, dress professional, act professionally. You're not in the business to get a husband, you're there to do a job. That line gets blurred and that's why we're kept behind."
I have been in similar situations and at the beginning of my career I would react with a nervous giggle. Over the years, though, I've learned how to handle situations more professionally. I was once asked, in the middle of an interview, for my phone number. I politely told the athlete I was here to do my job, and would appreciate if we could focus on the questions. I interviewed him several times after, and he never again asked for my number. If you want to be respected at your job, you need to be willing to stick up for yourself in a polite and professional manner.Develop a thick skin
Women in the sports broadcasting world have come a long way, but unfortunately there is still a long road ahead of us. Who can forget the Just Not Sports video where men read comments made about sports reporters Sarah Spain and Julie DiCaro to their face. These included the following tweets: "One of the players should beat you to death with a hockey stick" and "I hope your dog gets hit by a car."
We live in a day and age where it is so easy to attack people online. Working in a field that is mostly male, there will be critics, but it's important to ignore the negativity, and focus on your work and your career.
Being part of the boy's club known as sports journalism, I have not only become a stronger reporter, but I have become a stronger person. I have learned to not be afraid to stick up for myself, to go after what I want, and to fight for more responsibility. The same goes for any job. If you are prepared, professional, and willing to work hard for what you want, you will be able to overcome the obstacles.
Langerhans cells in the vaginal mucosa have long been considered to be the early cell type that captures HIV-1 and carries the virus from mucosal tissues to secondary lymphoid organs or draining lymphoid nodes [ 5 , 26 , 27 ], via DC-SIGN. However, Jameson et al. [ 28 ] recently reported that Langerhans cells within the squamous epithelial layer did not express DC-SIGN; instead, DC-SIGN was detected on DCs in the subepithelial lamina propria. This observation raises the possibility that vaginal mucosal Langerhans cells may not be the initial carrier of HIV-1. Our observation implies that genital epithelial cells may act as initial captor of the virus and that the virus either may be delivered to infiltrating lymphocytes, macrophages, or other susceptible cells via cell-cell contact, in either squamous mucosal epithelium or subepithelial lamina propria, or the virus-loaded epithelial cells may deliver the virus to DCs that carry the virus farther to draining lymphoid nodes or secondary lymphoid organs. Genital-tract epithelial cells are known to take up antigen and present it to resident immune cells [ 29 ]. The epithelial linings of the genitourinary tract have close contact with a large number of T lymphocytes, macrophages, Langerhans cells, and other HLA-DR–positive cells in the submucosa, and these cells frequently infiltrate epithelium [ 30 ]. Zhang et al. [ 31 ] showed that many coreceptor-positive cells were detected in the cervix. These cells were located in the lamina propria, beneath the columnar epithelium, and morphologically resemble tissue macrophages. Therefore, this submucosal environment could be readily targeted by viruses exiting from the epithelia and promote the infection and viral dissemination
It is not clear what contributed to the difference in transmission efficiencies of CCR5 and CXCR4 isolates in the coculture assay. It is known that many CXCR4 viruses do not replicate well in activated PBMCs, which may account for the poor transmission observed here. The higher infectivity of BaL (TCID 50 , 1×10 5 ) versus RF (TCID 50 , 5×10 3 ) will certainly contribute to the higher replication in the PBMC-Ect1 coculture. However, it is not clear whether the difference in the coculture was fully attributable to the infectivity of the viruses. The ADA virus had a similar TCID 50 (5×10 3 ) value to that for RF but was transmitted much more efficiently than was RF. Although we did not determine the TCID 50 value for 92US716 used in the experiment, this virus rarely replicated to higher titer than that for ADA. Still, 92US716 was well transmitted to PBMCs in the coculture study
All these results indicate that other factors may influence the relative efficiency of the viral transmission. In vivo, it is well documented that NSI viral variants predominate at the acute phase of the infection and persist even after SI variants emerge [ 32 , 33 ]. Evidence also indicates that NSI are predominantly transmitted through the genitourinary tracts [ 33 , 34 , 35 ] and that the selection of CCR5 variants could occur before seroconversion [ 34 ]. The present study has indicated that the epithelial cells are not selective in sequestering the virus. One of the possible mechanisms for this selection could be at the submucosal level, where the CCR5 viruses are preferentially transmitted while the CXCR4 variants are filtered out. To address this question, it is necessary to use CCR5 and CXCR4 viruses propagated in the same cell line as that used in the coculture assay, to minimize epigenetic effects

A previous version of this story misstated the closing level for the Stoxx 600 on Thursday. The story has been corrected.
LONDON (MarketWatch) — Europe's benchmark stock index ended at the highest closing level in more than six years on Friday after top-tier U.S. jobs data beat expectations and bank shares continued to benefit from the stimulus measures announced by the European Central Bank in the prior day's session.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, -0.51% climbed 0.7% at end at 347.30, adding to gains after U.S. nonfarm-payroll figures showed the economy created 217,000 jobs in May, more than the consensus estimate of 210,000 jobs produced by a MarketWatch poll of analysts. U.S. stocks also traded higher.
The benchmark ended 0.9% higher on the week, marking an eighth straight week in positive territory. The weekly push higher came after the ECB cut interest rates on Thursday, including turning the deposit rate negative for the first time, as policy makers aim to boost inflation and encourage economic growth.
The negative deposit rate was "targeted to induce banks to lend money to businesses rather than sitting on reserves; if they want to hold on to money, they will have to pay for the privilege," said ETX Capital in a note Friday. Overall, markets were looking for ECB "legislation with teeth — and on that score, it would appear that Mr. Draghi has delivered," said ETX, referring to ECB President Mario Draghi.
The ECB also introduced an aggressive liquidity package, including a four-year 400-billion-euro ($545 billion) targeted long-term refinancing operation, known as TLTRO, designed to boost bank lending to businesses and help the real economy.
Bank rally
Bank investors widely welcomed the new credit-easing measures, sending bank shares among top performers in Friday's trade. Shares of Banca Popolare di Sondrio ScpA BPSO, -2.49% rallied 5.7% in Milan, Banco Popolare SC IT:BP climbed 5.5% and Intesa Sanpaolo SpA ISP, -3.30% advanced 4.1%. Ahead of the ECB meeting on Thursday, some economists noted that Italian banks were going to particularly benefit from the cheap funding.
The FTSE MIB index XX:FTSEMIB closed 1.5% higher at 22,290.08 on Friday, for a 3.1% weekly gain. Italian bonds were also on the rise, sending bond yields substantially lower. The Italian 10-year IT:IT10YT yield was down 18 basis points at 2.76%, according to electronic trading platform Tradeweb.
Spanish bonds performed well in the wake of the ECB easing measures as well, sending the 10-year yield ES:ES10YT 19 basis points lower to 2.64%. The IBEX 35 index IBEX, -1.20% climbed 1.7% to 11,064.30 and ended 2.5% higher for the week, helped higher by Banco Santander SA SAN, -2.05% SAN, -3.12% rising 2.8%.
Banks were also higher in the rest of Europe, with Commerzbank AG CBK, -1.97% up 4.1% on Frankfurt, Société Générale SA GLE, -0.71% gaining 3.2% in Paris and Barclays PLC BARC, +0.02% BCS, -1.74% up 1% in London.
Credit Suisse wrote Friday it remains overweight on European banks, in part as the market is "underestimating the potential for stronger loan growth and lower provisions." The ECB's lowered interest rates should have a "marginal impact" on earnings for banks, wrote equity strategist Andrew Garthwaite, adding that Credit Suisse prefers retail-bank names.
As well, Credit Suisse remains overweight continental European equities, with a projection of roughly 40% per-share earnings growth in the euro area over the next three years, ahead of other major regions.
Among major country-specific equity gauges, the German DAX 30 index DAX, -1.07% rose 0.4% to 9,987.19, marking a record close. For the week, the benchmark rose 0.4%.
The French CAC 40 index PX1, -0.55% turned up 0.7% to 4,581.12, ending the week 1.4% higher. The FTSE 100 index UKX, -0.39% gained 0.7% to 6,858.21 to close out the week 0.2% stronger.
Oil majors helped lift the London benchmark, tracking oil prices higher. Shares of BP PLC BP., -0.68% BP, -1.09% climbed 1.1%, extending Thursday's rise of 0.4%. Royal Dutch Shell PLC RDS.B, -0.69% RDS.B, -0.69% tacked on 1% and BG Group UK:BG rose 0.9%.
In France, shares of Veolia Environnement SA VIE, -0.62% gained 0.9% after the waste and water management company said it sold its 65% stake in the Marius Pedersen Foundation for €240 million.

The Grand Island Town Board spent more than an hour in a work session April 15 discussing the fine print on a proposed local law governing special events. During a subsequent public hearing on the law, they heard the proposal called "over-reaching" by interested residents.
The Town Board sought to put in place a law to govern special events after last year's Taste of Grand Island. The board found out after the popular event that there were "issues concerning safety and fire hazards," Councilman Gary Roesch said.
According to the proposed law, special events would include "any social occasion, business development event, or any other activity occurring on public or private property, having more than 100 persons in attendance, open to the public, conducted outdoors, with or without admission or invitation fee, a sponsorship, or requested donation and held on a one-time or occasional basis, including, but not limited to, carnivals, circuses, fairs, bazaars and outdoor shows, horse shows or exhibitions, and concerts."
Exempt are "any property, structures, or uses whose primary or accessory function is to provide for regular public assembly," events sponsored and conducted entirely by the town, an event for the purpose of "expressive activity, provided that the organizers thereof give written notice to the Code Enforcement Department at least 48 hours prior to such event if more than 50 persons are expected to attend."
An approved public assembly permit "shall constitute a temporary amendment to the site plan."
Citizens who spoke in opposition to the law during the public hearing worried that the law, if enacted, would cover such events as funerals, ballgames, and graduation parties. Residents, including George DeGlopper of Fix Road, James Dinsmore of West River Road, and James Maloney of Whitehaven Road, voiced their opposition to the law, with Maloney calling the law "over-reaching" and "unrepublican."
The board took no action Monday night, and afterward Councilman Ray Billica said the intent of the law was "not an attempt by the Town Board to police everybody's party."

Scene in Manchester: The art of shoe repair lives on on Elm StreetBY KATIE McQUAID
Special to The New Hampshire Union Leader
January 06. 2013 10:41PM
I don't have any shoes that need repairing, but I may break a heel just to visit Fouad Nakkoul, proprietor of Heel the Sole Shoe Repair on Elm Street.
I chatted with Nakkoul on the phone last week after a tip about his pleasant demeanor and excellent service from Audra Burns of the American Heart Association.
Burns said Nakkoul likely generates all the business he needs from the notorious sidewalks of Elm Street. But his clever business name and my concern for the disappearing art of shoe repair led me to give him a call.
Nakkoul said he opened Heel the Sole in October after selling his previous shoe repair shop with its equally clever name, Completely Heeled, in Salem. He came up with the new name with help from his wife and three grown daughters, of whom he sounds very proud.
But Nakkoul hasn't always repaired shoes. Before moving to the U.S. From Syria in 1983, he said he studied and worked as a civil engineer. Unable to speak English, he took jobs here in a bakery, as a delivery driver, and then opened his own trucking business. Nakkoul said he is a quick study and can learn to do anything, so when he decided he was too old to be working outside in the cold New England weather, he endeavored to learn how to repair shoes from his wife's uncle.
At Heel the Sole, Nakkoul repairs any kind of shoe as well as handbags, zippers and luggage. He also sells shoes and shoe-related items, and stretches shoes. As someone whose feet have grown a whole size in my old age, I can certainly understand the need for that last service.
He said his space next to Margarita's downtown is gorgeous. "You take your drink and I fix your shoes right away," he offered. And although he usually works alone, he said his wife often comes in to help and give him a hard time.
Burns said it cost her $30 to have her shoes refurbished and looking like new, which she pointed out is cheaper than buying a new pair and better for the environment. I agree. Heel the Sole is open Tuesday through Saturday. And for those of you looking for shoe repair on the West Side I have also heard great things about Rivtin's Shoe Repair on Kelley Street.
Lucky charms are not an Irish breakfast
The major holiday season has come to a close, but as we enter the long, bitter months of winter we do have much to look forward to - like Saint Patrick's Day. Sure, Manchester's parade celebrating our Irish heritage is always a little later than the actual holiday (this year it's on Sunday, March 24). But, our parade also lets us celebrate early with a Saint Patrick's Day Benefit Breakfast fundraiser this Saturday.
The parade costs $50,000 to produce each year, and every penny is raised through private donations. If you enjoy attending the parade, then be sure to do your part by attending the breakfast from 8 to 11 a.m. at The Wild Rover on Kosciuszko Street.
Adults eat for $9.99 and kids 12 and under eat for $5.99. Children under 5 eat for free.
I really like the posters designed to advertise the breakfast. The collection features photos of Irish-related items such as a potato, Lucky Charms and a bottle of whisky. Underneath it reads, "This is not an Irish breakfast. See what an Irish breakfast really is on Saturday, January 12th."
If you can't make the breakfast but would like to make a donation of any size, please send it to: St. Patrick's Parade Committee, P.O. Box 5051, Manchester, NH 03108.
Parlez-vous Francais?
I took French for at least four years and I don't even know if I phrased the above question appropriately. The only thing I remember about the French language is that an accent grave should point toward the windows in my Hillside Junior High School French classroom. Monsieur Boivin said we could remember this because if we jumped out the window, we would go to our grave.
I wonder if they use nifty mnemonic devices at the Franco-American Centre. The organization begins holding winter session French classes for children and adults starting this month. Classes are held at The Dana Center at Saint Anselm College. They run through February and are $100 for children and $250 for adults.
There are classes for all levels, from Absolute Beginner to Advanced French Grammar and Conversation. I really don't know where I would fall on the spectrum, but I think it's all starting to come back to me. I'm already remembering how to ask where the bibliotheque is.

NH365.ORG Event of the Week
As a good friend of mine recently said, "I used to be cultured." Now she's more interested in the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" than Greek philosophy. I do blame television for dumbing down our society, but Dr. Julianne Cooper at Liberty Harbor Academy is providing an opportunity to get in touch with our brains again at a seminar called "What's So Great About Plato: A Seminar for the Curious."
The four-week seminar starts tonight at 6 p.m. It will examine the life and work of Plato, the student of Socrates, whose ideas permeate virtually every aspect of our world - even the latest television shows.
The event description reads, "Knowing and understanding the role played by Plato and his students will offer the seminar attendees valuable tools for maneuvering the complexities of today's world." Well, I am certain Plato has provided more tools than Snookie ever will. The cost of the seminar is $99 and registration is required. For more information on this and other events to get you "cultured," visit www.NH365.org.

Make no mistake about: The Johnny King Buck got hosed by the Boone and Crockett Club in the panel-scoring of his deer this past Saturday in Montana. It's time to call spades spades and let the deer hunting community know this was essentially a dog-and-pony show.
By amending their scoring rules many times since the King Buck was killed in 2006, and then thumbing their noses at several fellow club members with 25 years or more experience who spoke out in favor of this deer being a typical 6-by-6, B&C seemed to say this is their club, not America's and the records are B&C's, not the people who shot the deer or own the antlers.
There seems to be another message resonating out there: "If you're a B&C scorer and hope to retain that title, you'd best be a good little chump and nod your head in agreement with everything the club says."
Don't take my word for it. Watch the Craig Cousins video if you really care to learn the rules on common bases, shared points — and all sorts of other antler-geek nonsense — that scorers have abided by for decades. Cousins and Ron Boucher have been scoring deer for B&C for a combined 50 years. They were both booted from the club after offering their opinions on the King Buck earlier this year. They deserved so much more for their years of unpaid service to the club.
By booting these men out, B&C might as well also boot the hundreds of deer they've scored through the years. After all, they obviously don't know what they're doing. Sarcasm noted.
And, while they're at it, they should also recall the Hanson Buck for another panel score. After all, Boucher served on the world-record panel that crowned that deer king. If he doesn't know what he's doing, he surely must have got that score wrong, too.
We sensed something foul was brewing more than three weeks ago when we contacted B&C records director Eldon "Buck" Buckner. We had learned about the pending panel-scoring session and called Buckner to confirm the event, which he did. Antler fans everywhere cheered this news. Once and for all, they thought, as did we, B&C would right this wrong and give the buck its fair due.
The first hint that something fishy might be going on came when I asked Buckner if the media would be allowed to attend the panel-scoring session. He said, "No, this will be a private matter." He further stated that B&C would release the results in a press release the week after the event.
Dude … seriously? "We're going to possibly anoint the new No. 1 typical of all time — the highest honor in hunting — and we're going to tell you the score after the fact?" You've got to be kidding. Nope, they were not.
At that point, B&C stopped responding to our calls for interviews and updates.
From then forward, we kept in contact with Johnny King and Jay Fish, owner of the antlers. Both men drove 24 straight hours to Montana from Wisconsin with the antlers in tow on Friday, Sept. 21. Even that day, the men were under the impression they would not know the final score of the panel session until after they drove home to Wisconsin.
Enter Field & Stream. This media giant, which had essentially ignored the story for most of this year, came out guns ablazing on Friday, proclaiming they would have breaking news from Montana on the day of the panel-scoring session. I responded with a Whitetail Wisdom blog post questioning B&C's intergrity, seeing they essentially told us to not bother showing up in Montana.
Did someone tell the B&C brass about my blog? Not sure, but on Saturday before the panel session, Fish said he was told he could rest assured — despite all the "reports and blogs" — that he would be the first to learn the panel-scoring result.
Fish said that happened. "They called me and Johnny back to a room, where they said they said they scored it as a typical."
Fish said at that moment he thought justice would prevail. However, he said Buckner continued on that the two G-3s were deemed nontypical, hence bringing the score down to 180.
Fish said they then left the room and, while walking through the B&C visitors center, said an Outdoor Life reporter, who he did not recognize as being a journalist, was the next person who learned of the news.
So much for B&C issuing a press release the next week.
As a journalist, I tip my hat to that reporter for getting the scoop. At that same, however, I must question B&C's motives and protocol, especially considering the fact that they gave Field & Stream (F&S and OL are owned by the same company and share offices in New York) exclusive photos of the panel-scoring session. Interesting.
This story is not a case of Johnny King and Jay Fish being spoil-sports complaining they lost the game. This story is about a kid (B&C) moving the foul pole so many times that his long fly ball is finally deemed foul and not a game winning home run. And it's about that same kid running out to get the ball and going home. We will provide more details on that later this week here on deeranddeerhunting.com.
At the end of the day, most of the people watching the game unfold are so indifferent about the outcome that they simply don't care one way or the other. That's not fair to the losers, nor is it fair to this deer and deer hunting's history in North America.
But, then again, I guess life really isn't fair.

WFP plans two UN convoys to Tyre and Sidon; statement corrects August 2 WFP press release; fuel crisis deepens.
WFP plans two UN convoys to Tyre and Sidon; statement corrects August 2 WFP press release; fuel crisis deepens.
Convoy status
WFP planned to send two UN humanitarian convoys from Beirut to Tyre and Sidon on Wednesday. A third convoy, which was held up in Tyre on Tuesday will also travel to Tebnin.
In addition, WFP plans its own daily convoy from the Syrian border town of Arida to Beirut.
Since the start of the crisis, WFP has dispatched nine humanitarian convoys to south Lebanon from Beirut, supplying the following locations: Tyre, Jezzine, Sidon, Qana and Tebnin.
In total, the convoys have delivered some 280 metric tons of food, enough to feed 80,000 people for one week, in adidtion to other relief supplies for WHO, UNDP, UNICEF, UNHCR, UNRWA and a number of NGOs including MSF, NPA and Mercy Corps. These supplies included medical kits, shelter materials and food.
WFP Correction
In a news release issued on 2 August, WFP erroneously stated that out of three convoys planned that day to Tebnin, Rmeish and Naqoura, the Agency had only received the Israeli Defence Forces' concurrence on safety to proceed to Tebnin.
In fact, the IDF had only declined its concurrence on safety for Rmeish – giving its concurrence for Tebnin and Naqoura. However, for logistical reasons, WFP decided to cancel the two trucks organised for Naqoura, which is on the route from Tyre to Rmeish.
To date, WFP has received IDF concurrence on safety for all its humanitarian convoys to all our planned destinations in Lebanon, with the exception of Rmeish and Marjayoun.
Rmeish and Marjayoun are the only instances where WFP has not received a go-ahead. All other convoys, including four to Beirut from the Syrian border town of Arida, have received concurrence from all sides.
One convoy from Arida, on Sunday, was cancelled by WFP for security reasons after large-scale demonstrations in Beirut, including a crowd invasion of the UN building
The situation regarding fuel is critical across the country. Almost all filling stations are closed, having run out. Even more importantly, fuel supplies for power stations and water pumping stations are all but exhausted.
WFP has successfully negotiated concurrence of safety from the IDF for two tankers to bring fuel into Beirut and Tripoli ports for the Lebanese Government.
One tanker is carrying 50,000 tons of fuel oil, and the other 37,000 tons of diesel oil. WFP's involvement stemmed from its role as a humanitarian actor in Lebanon.

A vagina fetish. Experienced by men who envy the female form, or fantasize about having it. Very common, especially among circumcised males where the level of stimulation available is reduced significantly, leaving the man jealous of the natural experience of female counterparts. Can be caused by witnessing or discussing such experiences, past life memories, dreams, or "possession" of the male as the object of a fantasy of a woman he is closely connected to.
