Posted on 09/05/2013 7:50:08 AM PDT by maggief
A few days ago, the Wall Street Journal ran a high profile article from one Elizabeth OBagy arguing that the majority of the Syrian rebels were actually moderates.
Senator McCain mentioned Elizabeth OBagys op-ed during the Senate hearings, when he wasnt playing poker, and tweeted it. That should come as no surprise, considering that OBagy is credited with arranging McCains infamous photo op with the Syrian rebel leadership.
The Wall Street Journal lists OBagys role as the Institute for the Study of War. It leaves out the fact that she is the political director for the Syrian Emergency Task Force making her an activist.
OBagy doesnt matter much. Shes a friendly Western face plastered over a foreign organization. Of more interest is Mouaz Moustafa, the smiling man in the Keffiyah on the far right of McCain in this photo.
Mouaz Moustafa is a Palestinian Arab and the Executive Director of the Syrian Emergency Task Force which arranged for McCains visit.

McCain needs to be put in a home.
I'm most concerned with how "O'Bagy" is pronounced.
Ohio Ping > High importance:

Predating his international period, Mouaz Moustafa did stints as a Field Organizer for the Democratic National Committee and a senate staffer. On Instagram, he calls himself a Freelance Revolutionary.
John McCain armed Kosovo Islamic terrorists
John McCain armed the KLA, Politika
Yeah, a home with bars.
As a charter member of the Keating Five, McCain was for sale his very first days in Washington. Since he was given a pass on that, I can only assume he has been selling his influence ever since. With the higher stakes and fees, there is no doubt in my mind, he is collecting millions to represent the various Islamist extremist groups.
Free Syrian Army FSA "Moderates' Behead 24 Passengers on Bus, Including a Mother and Her 40-day old Baby
It's entirely possible.
I wonder if it's illegal?
Citizen's United changed the rules drastically.
Disagree with Greenfield on 2 points:
POINT 1: "OBagy doesnt matter much."
O'Bagy matters very much. Even before the WSJ article I had been hearing her name a lot. Her name came up during the Syria hearing at least once (McCain). All of Congress is being pointed to her research as THE authority on the Syria rebels.
Yesterday, Frank Gaffney interviewed Marc Thiessen, of American Enterprise Institute, about Syria. Thiessen said he gets his info on the FSA from O'Bagy and Kimberly Kagen [more on Kagen later] because they are the most knowledgeable experts. Gaffney demurred and said "One question is to what extent might her assessment (on the rebels) be influenced by the favt that she seems to be working with some of these Syrian opposition forces at the moment. I will talk about that on another occasion."
"A few days ago, the Wall Street Journal ran a high profile article from one Elizabeth OBagy arguing that the majority of the Syrian rebels were actually moderates."
That lie has been pushed by McCain and Kerry and others for weeks. That lie influences senators and congressmen.
John Kerry: Less than a quarter of Syrian rebels are jihadists
House Homeland Security Committee chairman Mike McCaul was "stunned" by Kerry's assertion. The briefings members of Congress had been getting stated that the number was closer to 50% - and that may be lowballing it too.
Reuters calls Mr. Kerry out for his lie:
Secretary of State John Kerry's public assertions that moderate Syrian opposition groups are growing in influence appear to be at odds with estimates by U.S. and European intelligence sources and nongovernmental experts, who say Islamic extremists remain by far the fiercest and best-organized rebel elements.
At congressional hearings this week, while making the case for President Barack Obama's plan for limited military action in Syria, Kerry asserted that the armed opposition to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad "has increasingly become more defined by its moderation, more defined by the breadth of its membership, and more defined by its adherence to some, you know, democratic process and to an all-inclusive, minority-protecting constitution.
"And the opposition is getting stronger by the day," Kerry told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday.
U.S. and allied intelligence sources and private experts on the Syrian conflict suggest that assessment is optimistic.
While the radical Islamists among the rebels may not be numerically superior to more moderate fighters, they say, Islamist groups like the al Qaeda-aligned Nusra Front are better organized, armed and trained.
Kerry's remarks represented a change in tone by the Obama administration, which for more than two years has been wary of sending U.S. arms to the rebels, citing fears they could fall into radical Islamists' hands.

Looks like it was pulled.
Here is an alternate link.

From HOTAIR.COM
Kerry insists, as does John McCain, that the Free Syrian Army controls the opposition in Syria and that radical Islamist elements comprise only a small percentage of rebel fighting units. However, intelligence from US and European agencies put the radical Islamists near parity in numbers, and far more in control than Kerry and the Obama administration acknowledge:
Secretary of State John Kerrys public assertions that moderate Syrian opposition groups are growing in influence appear to be at odds with estimates by U.S. and European intelligence sources and nongovernmental experts, who say Islamic extremists remain by far the fiercest and best-organized rebel elements.
U.S. and allied intelligence sources and private experts on the Syrian conflict suggest that assessment is optimistic.
While the radical Islamists among the rebels may not be numerically superior to more moderate fighters, they say, Islamist groups like the al Qaeda-aligned Nusra Front are better organized, armed and trained.
Kerry insists that FSAs General Salim Idriss has control, and the opposition is even holding elections for its leaders:
Kerry replied: I just dont agree that a majority are al Qaeda and the bad guys. Thats not true. There are about 70,000 to 100,000 oppositionists Maybe 15 percent to 25 percent might be in one group or another who are what we would deem to be bad guys.
There is a real moderate opposition that exists. General Idriss is running the military arm of that, Kerry continued, referring to General Salim Idriss, head of the rebel Free Syrian Army. Increasingly, he said, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states are funneling assistance through Idriss.
According to Foreign Policy, though hardly a conservative mouthpiece on foreign affairs Idriss grasp on the opposition is crumbling, and may have been ephemeral all along. Instead, his commanders have suddenly developed a taste for working with the elements that Kerry insists are too small to matter:
As the United States moves closer to taking military action against the Syrian government, the leadership of the mainstream armed opposition force has chosen a curious time to appear to be on the verge of unraveling. Known generically as the Free Syrian Army (FSA), this assortment of mostly secular defecting Sunni Arab officers and mostly Islamist volunteers has attempted several reorganizations. The most recent of these is now seriously threatened by a resignation threat from senior commanders.
On August 22, four of the five front commanders threatened to resign from the SMC, promising to break red lines and work with all forces fighting in Syria, a clear reference to the wars growing Salafist-Jihadist contingent. The statement was read by Colonel Fatih Hasun, who is the commander of the SMCs Homs Front and the deputy chief-of-staff, that is to say, Idrisss deputy and the most senior officer inside the country. Hasun added that rebels would no longer respect demands by outside powers that they not attempt to take over government-controlled chemical weapons sites. In addition to demanding action in response to the governments use of chemical weapons in Damascus, Hasun also demanded better weapons and said they were tiring of the false promises of those who call themselves Friends of Syria.
While the resignation seemed tentative, Hasun was less equivocal about the other red line the oppositions Salafist-Jihadist groups, Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) both of which the United States has designated as terrorist entities linked to al Qaeda. Directly behind Hasun on the wall was an Islamic flag, with a pre-Assad Syria FSA flag draped to the side, a nod perhaps to the Salafists. Sitting to his right was a bearded cleric in Salafist garb. He directly stated, we call upon all FSA units to work with all others fighting the regime. Adding insult to injury, on August 25 Muhammad Tabnaja, field commander in Latakia for the Ahfad al-Faruq Brigade in Latakia, resigned citing the lack of support from the SMC.
If Idriss is in control and opposed to the radical Islamist elements, he would have acted forcefully to put down this rebellion within the rebellion. In the event, though, Idriss apparently couldnt do anything:
Most telling is what happened when the SMCs decision removing Akaydi was announced. Akaydi ignored it, then after brigade-level commanders within the AMC rejected the decision, he did an interview in which he mocked the SMC as made up of people who are into travel and hotels and have no connection to what is happening on the ground. He did clear Idriss of involvement, however, and Idriss promptly apologized to Akaydi and then traveled to Aleppo to meet with him and praise him.
Idriss responded to Hasuns threatened resignation by saying he rejected it, as if he had the power to do so.
Is the White House following the intelligence of its own agencies and that of its allies? Is it even following the public events that demonstrate the lack of effectiveness in the FSA and the rise of al-Qaeda-affiliated leadership in the Syrian rebellion? Or are they just so concerned about preventing Barack Obamas humiliation that they dont care?
Well, it certainly didn't take Marco long, did it?
Meet the Syrian Islamist Organization Controlling Senator McCains Agenda
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On September 4, 2013 @ 4:08 pm In The Point | 18 Comments
A few days ago, the Wall Street Journal ran a high profile article from one Elizabeth OBagy arguing that the majority of the Syrian rebels were actually moderates.
Senator McCain mentioned Elizabeth OBagys op-ed during the Senate hearings, when he wasnt playing poker, and tweeted it. That should come as no surprise, considering that OBagy is credited with arranging McCains infamous photo op with the Syrian rebel leadership.
The Wall Street Journal lists OBagys role as the Institute for the Study of War. It leaves out the fact that she is the political director for the Syrian Emergency Task Force making her an activist.
OBagy doesnt matter much. Shes a friendly Western face plastered over a foreign organization. Of more interest is Mouaz Moustafa, the smiling man in the Keffiyah on the far right of McCain in this photo.
Mouaz Moustafa is a Palestinian Arab and the Executive Director of the Syrian Emergency Task Force which arranged for McCains visit.
Senator McCain called Moustafa a patriot, but its not clear which country hes a patriot of, since its not Mouaz Moustafas first time around on the regime change bus tour.
Before the Syrian Emergency Task Force, Moustafa was the Executive Director of the Libyan Council of North America, which like the SETF existed to help push regime change. Before that, he mentions working with rebels in Egypt. On his Twitter feed, he denounces the overthrow of Morsi making it rather clear which side he was on.
His Twitter account frequently features anti-Israel material, including calls for a Palestinian state with its capital in Jerusalem. On his YouTube account, he liked a video featuring Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, crying while praying.
He also Favorited an anti-Israel video from a channel titled JewsExposed
Predating his international period, Mouaz Moustafa did stints as a Field Organizer for the Democratic National Committee and a senate staffer. On Instagram, he calls himself a Freelance Revolutionary.
Mouaz Moustafa, patriot of four countries, none of which is the United States, appears to be holding McCains hand on Syria through the Syrian Emergency Task Force. And the Syrian Emergency Task Force appears to be funded by prominent Syrians in the United States. Its not technically a foreign organization. Technically.
One member of the SETFs Board of Trustees/Board of Directors, Dr. Jihad Qaddour, was also a trustee of the Muslim American Society, which is a front for the Muslim Brotherhood.
Another, Bassam Estwani, appears to have been the Imam of the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center, also known as Al-Qaeda leader Anwar Al-Awlakis former mosque. The mosque was considered a front for Hamas and other Islamic extremists by the Treasury Department.
A third, Zaher Sahloul, appears to be the Chairman of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Chicago, an organization with terrorist links which is involved in organizing a boycott of Israel.
And thats just from a casual glance at a disturbingly incomplete list of names and functions.
Mouaz Moustafas message is that United States must arm the Syrian terrorists without asking questions, and claims that most of the Al-Nusra Fronts members are not really Al Qaeda or enemies of America.
Lets look at the Jabhat al-Nusra. Didnt exist, then existed. Came up to numbers [of] about 5,000 or 6,000. Then we put them on a terrorist list increase their profile and people stood with them. I think the way they were thinking is, you dont support us, you dont give us arms, you dont give us anything, but then you tell us whose good and whose bad within us? So first support, then dictate.
Thats not just empty talk. Mouaz Moustafa claims to have White House access and control over where the weapons go.
While advocating for greater intervention in Syria, Moustafa says he has gone to Tampa to meet with Central Command, to Capitol Hill to meet with members of Congress and to the White House every couple of months to meet with staff of the National Security Council.
And if you are wondering who is sorting through the Syrian morass to find groups that are suitable for American aid in other words, not members of al-Qaida Moustafa says its a task his group performs as well.
What we try to do is make sure is that the aid is going from the State Department is going to the right people, he said.
And these are the politicians he claims are most helpful to his cause
Among the legislators who have been most helpful to his cause, he said, are McCain, New York Democratic Rep. Eliot Engel, Democratic Sens. Carl Levin of Michigan and Bob Menendez of New Jersey, as well as Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.
Its strange that no one has called attention to the fact that a group headed by people with such extreme ties and beliefs is dominating American foreign policy on Syria and controlling the itinerary of senior senators like McCain.

Syria is a "very attractive place to go and fight" from the Islamic point of view. "There is a lot of historical and religious importance attached to Syria, and to Damascus especially, the place where, it is said in the Koran, Jesus Christ is going to come back and there will be Armageddon and so on," Al-Abdeh said. "Many of the jihadists that go to fight in Syria actually believe in these things, and that Syria has special religious significance."
Every 5 to 10 years there is a "particular location or a battlefield" where radical Muslims could go to war, Al-Abdeh explained. In the 1980s, it was Afghanistan against Soviets; in the 1990s, it was Bosnia against the Serbs and Chechnya against the Russians; today, it is Syria.

<...."Is the White House following the intelligence of its own agencies and that of its allies?"....>
No...it is framing it's intelligence around it's agenda. Whatever works to enhance that agenda is the intelligence we are going to hear....the rest will be lost or scrubbed.
<....." Is it even following the public events that demonstrate the lack of effectiveness in the FSA and the rise of al-Qaeda-affiliated leadership in the Syrian rebellion?".....>
No, as we have seen from over 100,000 deaths, apart from chemical warfare, the concern is not the people, nor ours for that matter.
They are under the false assumption they can neutralize Alqueda and the Brotherhood, and all other various factions by giving them a voice at the table of the next administration....which the Sauds have already in place..... (Exactly as they assumed in Egypt.)... Any deaths will simply be "collateral damage" for the larger picture of their ultimate agenda.
<...."Are they just so concerned about preventing Barack Obamas humiliation that they dont care?".....>
"We do not have a President who is trustworthy, principled, steady or wise — to the contrary he is seen as weak, vacillating, dithering, and devoid of a clear, compelling and principled policy in the Middle East....
.... He doesn't inspire confidence, not with our allies, not with Congress, and most importantly, not with the American people. ...It is clear that he drew his "red line" without thinking it through.
... He doesn't have a plan. He hasn't built Congressional or international support..... He is winging it.... And that is incredibly dangerous!!!!"
(Exert quote from Joel Rosenberg)
Some stand strong...most yield to the puppeteer's for greater gain down the road...Marco yielded and is theirs now.
Among other good questions, Cavuto challenged her on her affiliations with the rebels and exactly who is paying her.
"I don't represent the SETF. I'm not one of their employees, nor do I lobby on their behalf. I work with them as an independent contractor specifically to use my research and my knowledge base to help improve US govt contracts."
"I get a contract fee through these US govt contracts where I am written into the contract as an independent contractor."
Same old, same old with her, and I don't trust her analysis---never have---even though she has spent much time in Syria. She always marginalizes the jihadi rebels and magnifies her (and the CIA's) fave rebels---I am assuming FSA, but she did not mention them by name---as champions of a secular democracy.
From interview:
"...There is no underestimating the atrocities that have been committed on both sides, but I think it's important to really keep in mind that even while there may be some extremists, kinda foes running around the country, there is a large moderate force that is looking to not only kinda further US interests in the region and to work as an allied partner, but actually could serve as a reliable governing partner if built and given the kind of resources and capacity building it would need to serve as that partner."
"Personally I would hope that our intelligence agencies have been closely following this, and I know that the CIA has been working on a long vetting process and are finally at the point where they have kinda picked a group or an organization that they feel comfortable working with."
I suspect she is going to be making the rounds on the talk-show circuit because her affiliations have finally been disclosed and her bias is being questioned.
We discussed the WSJ piece and her analysis from the Institute's website on the Live Syria Thread.
That statement caught my attention because I recently heard the name Kimberly Kagen in the context of crediting her and husband with Petraeus' Surge strategy [I can't recall the source].
Gen. David Petraeus posing before the U.S. Capitol with Kimberly Kagan, founder and president of the Institute for the Study of War. (Photo credit: ISWs 2011 Annual Report)
How tight Petraeuss relationship was with two neocons in particular, Frederick and Kimberly Kagan, was explored Wednesday in a Washington Post article by war correspondent Rajiv Chandrasekaran who described how Petraeus installed the husband-and-wife team in U.S. offices in Kabul, granted them top-secret clearances and let them berate military officers about war strategy.
Though the Kagans received no pay from the U.S. government, they drew salaries from their respective think tanks which are supported by large corporations, including military contractors with interests in extending the Afghan War. Frederick Kagan works for the American Enterprise Institute, and Kimberly Kagan founded the Institute for the Study of War [ISW] in 2007 and is its current president.
According to ISWs last annual report, its original supporters were mostly right-wing foundations, such as the Smith-Richardson Foundation and the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, but it now is backed by national security contractors, including major ones like General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman and CACI, as well as lesser-known firms such as DynCorp International, which provides training for Afghan police, and Palantir, a technology company founded with the backing of the CIAs venture-capital arm, In-Q-Tel. Palantir supplies software to U.S. military intelligence in Afghanistan.

Dr. Kimberly Kagan, President and Founder of the Institute for the Study of War
At Yale, Kagan met her husband Frederick Kagan, who is an American resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI),[4] son of Donald Kagan, a well-known historian and brother of Robert Kagan, another well-known writer and publicist. Robert Kagan's wife is Victoria Nuland, spokesperson for the United States Department of State. (She was nominated to serve as Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs in May 2013.[3])
Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham were vocal critics of the administrations messaging after the Benghazi attacks, but on Friday, they issued a laudatory statement about Victoria Nuland
Victoria Nuland
Spouse: Robert Kagan
Robert Kagan is an adviser to Senator John McCain and his idea that the United States should continue to take a strong, and possibly a confrontational, role in world affairs accords with McCains own views.
Kagans brother Frederick was instrumental in persuading President Bush to reinforce US forces in Iraq with last years surge, against the advice of the Iraq Study Group of wise men at the time. The surge was and is a policy supported by John McCain and one of the reasons for his political success.
Obama taps Victoria Nuland for assistant secretary
Friday, May 24, 201
Following the announcement, Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which is tasked with confirming her nomination, remained mum on her nomination, though a committee source speaking to The Cable said there is very little chance the nomination wont trigger a fight.
Nuland, however, is something of an awkward target for Republicans. From 2003 to 2005, she served as principal deputy national security advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney. Her husband is prominent neoconservative writer Robert Kagan, co-founder of the Project for the New American Century and an advisor to Mitt Romneys failed presidential bid.
AEI wiki:
Kagan, Keane, and Senators John McCain and Joseph Lieberman presented the plan at a January 5, 2007, event at AEI. Bush announced the change of strategy on January 10 the idea having "won additional support among some officials as a result of a detailed study by Gen. Jack Keane, the former vice chief of staff at the Army, and Frederick W. Kagan, a military specialist, that was published by the American Enterprise Institute".[28] Kagan authored three subsequent reports monitoring the progress of the surge.[72]
Covering on Brett Baier now ...
Good finds!!!
"Small world ..." -—— incestuous even.
The other thing that caught my attention is the funding for ISW. It seems to have shifted over the years.,,,or, perhaps better to say that it has taken on a new dimension.
Also interesting, neither wife Kagen nor husband Kagen took pay for their work (wanted "independence") with Petraeus...and O'Bagy, in her Syria work. receives pay as an individual contractor within the scope of a larger government contract.
Need to do more research on KagAn and ISW ... and funding.
Baier's panel will be discussing O'Bagy tonight.
Thanks for heads-up re: Baier and O'Bagy. I had it DVRed.
Compare and contrast-— lol
Baier: "She [O'Bagy] is also the political director and humanitarian aid coordinator for a Syrian opp lobbying group, The SETF group -— with links to the FSA."
Excerpt from my post 22-—O'Bagy's direct quote from Cavuto interview:
"I don't represent the SETF. I'm not one of their employees, nor do I lobby on their behalf. I work with them as an independent contractor specifically to use my research and my knowledge base to help improve US govt contracts."
"I get a contract fee through these US govt contracts where I am written into the contract as an independent contractor."
Baier's said she is the political director for SETF, linked to FSA.
O'Bagy never mentioned any of that on Cavuto, except to say, " "I don't represent the SETF....."
We still don't have the straight story on her. Will keep my eye out for other appearances she might make. Gaffney said he was going to try to get her on his prog.
Think I'm getting a better understanding what drives "The Maverick".
2012 ISW President's Circle National Security Leadership Award ...
Nov 13, 2012 - an assignment already for the evening, and John and Mary Taylor, who ... is our fearless Chairman, Bill Roberti, and Liz Cheney who are here.
Excuse the link:
Who is behind the Syrian Support Group?
Brian Sayers, referenced by whistle blower David Walt, is the Executive Director of SSG. Mazen Asbahi, a Chicago lawyer, is listed as president of the SSG board. Asbahi was the Obama coordinator for Muslim outreach in the 2008 campaign. He resigned from that position in August 2008 after being question by the Wall Street Journal about his connections to Egypts Muslim Brotherhood. He is currently listed as president of SSGs board of directors and is the named recipient of the SSG special fund raising license from the Department of Treasury.
The SSG web page prominently lists Institute for the Study of War (ISW) policy papers as a justification for the groups aid to Syrian rebels. ISW leadership sounds like a updated version of Partnership for a New American Century (PNAC) regime change crew. The ISW board includes William Kristol, Elizabeth Cheney (daughter of the former vice president), and other leading neo conservatives.

ISW Awards Senator Joseph Lieberman for National Security Leadership
Published on Nov 16, 2012
On November 13, 2012, the Institute for the Study of War presented the second annual ISW Award for National Security Leadership to Sen. Joseph Lieberman (ID-CT).
The award was presented last Tuesday at ISW's second annual President's Circle Dinner at the Fairmont Hotel to honor the senator's service to the country.
The ISW Award for National Security Leadership award honors an individual who embodies exceptional service, intellect, and leadership in national security.
ISW Founder and President Kimberly Kagan and General Dynamics Executive Vice President for Marine Systems John Casey, sponsor of the 2012 award, presented the award to Lieberman.
(Note: Lieberman references Three Amigos - McCain, Lindsey Graham/[Ben Nelson], and Lieberman)

Joseph Lieberman Joins Kasowitz
Mr. Lieberman said Kasowitzs approach to legal work resonated with his personal history. A longtime Democrat, he leans to the right on defense and fiscal matters, and in 2006 renounced the party to run as an Independent after a bitter defeat in the Connecticut primary.
They do some corporate defense work, Mr. Lieberman said of the firm, but they have also had the guts to sue some of the biggest banks in the world for their conduct in the credit crisis. That kind of independence took me back to my independence.
The Institute for the Study of War is a private, nonpartisan, not-for-profit institution whose goal is to educate current and future decision makers and thereby enhance the quality of policy debates.

No. An employee who is returned from a temporary promotion to his or her regular grade and step and is subsequently promoted to the same grade held during the temporary promotion receives an "equivalent increase" upon the permanent promotion and begins a new waiting period on the date of the permanent promotion. The time spent in the temporary grade and step is not creditable service towards the completion of a waiting period when the employee is permanently promoted.
NOTE: If a temporary promotion is made permanent immediately after the temporary promotion ends, the agency may not return the employee to the lower grade. The agency must convert the employee's temporary promotion to a permanent promotion without a change in pay. See 5 CFR 531.214(e).
Employees holding VRAs are not eligible for grade or pay retention upon reduction in grade or pay, or to severance pay upon involuntary separation (not for cause).
By law, grade and pay retention apply only to employees whose employment is on other than a temporary or term basis. (See the definition of employee in 5 U.S.C. 5361(1).) The grade and pay retention regulations define employed on a temporary or term basis as employment under an appointment having a definite time limitation or designated as temporary or term. (See 5 CFR 536.103.)
Similarly, the severance pay law does not apply to an employee serving under an appointment with a definite time limitation, unless the time-limited appointment is made effective within 3 calendar days after separation from a qualifying appointment without time limitation. (See the definition of employee in 5 U.S.C. 5595(a)(2)(ii) and the definition of non-qualifying appointment in 5 CFR 550.703.)
Under 5 CFR part 307, a VRA is limited to 2 years. Although employees are entitled to convert to a career or career-conditional appointment upon completion of the 2 years, this conversion right is contingent upon meeting the terms of the VRA--i.e., employees must satisfactorily complete (1) 2 years of substantially continuous service and (2) any education and training required under the VRA program. If employees do not complete these requirements, they are not converted to career or a career-conditional appointment, and their VRA ends. Therefore, for the purposes of grade and pay retention and severance pay, the VRA must be viewed as having a definite 2-year limitation. Because the VRA is time-limited, employees holding such appointments are not eligible for grade and pay retention or severance pay.
Federal Family Education Loans (FFEL)
William D. Ford Direct Loan Program (Direct Loans)

Loans made or insured under the Public Health Service Act include the following:
An employee is not eligible for grade retention if the employee was serving under a term or temporary appointment in the position from which he or she was downgraded. See 5 CFR 536.102(b)(2) and definition of employee in 5 U.S.C. 5361. However, the fact that the employee accepts a temporary or term appointment in conjunction with being downgraded does not affect the employee's entitlement to grade retention.
Similarly, if an employee who is already under grade retention receives a temporary or term appointment via reassignment or transfer, the employee would remain entitled to grade retention, unless one of the terminating events specified in law and regulation occur. (See 5 U.S.C. 5362(d) and 5 CFR 536.208. See also question 2, below.)
No. By law, compensatory time off may be approved instead of overtime pay for irregular or occasional (unscheduled) overtime hours of work. See 5 U.S.C. 5543(a). If an employee is scheduled in advance of his or her administrative workweek (i.e., regularly scheduled) to attend an extended training course, such training would not be irregular or occasional (unscheduled) overtime hours. Therefore, the employee may not receive compensatory time off instead of overtime pay for the extended training hours. Please see OPM's fact sheet on compensatory time off for further guidance (http://www.opm.gov/oca/pay/HTML/COMP.HTM).
(Note: Employees on flexible work schedules may earn compensatory time off for regularly scheduled overtime hours, as provided in 5 U.S.C. 6123(a)(1) and 5 CFR 550.114(b) and 551.531(b). However, employees usually are not on flexible work schedules during periods of training.)
Under the law, an employee does not necessarily have to have 52 consecutive weeks at the grade held immediately before being downgraded in order to retain that grade under the grade retention provisions. Under 5 U.S.C. 5362(a), any employee who is placed as a result of reduction-in-force (RIF) procedures into a lower grade and who has served for 52 consecutive weeks or more in "one or more positions . . . at a grade or grades higher than that of the new position, is entitled to have the grade of the position held immediately before such placement" as the retained grade. [Emphasis added.] See also 5 CFR 536.203(a) and (c).
Thus, for example, assume an employee has 2 years of service at GS-12 and 10 weeks of service at GS-13 immediately prior to being downgraded to GS-11 as a result of RIF procedures. Even though he or she has only 10 weeks of service at the GS-13 level, the GS-12 service plus the GS-13 service gives the employee more than 52 consecutive weeks at one or more grades higher than that of the position to which the employee is being reduced (i.e., GS-11). Thus, the employee meets the 52 consecutive week requirement and is entitled to retain the grade of GS-13.
In contrast, if this employee were being reduced to a GS-12 position rather than a GS-11 position, the employee would not meet the 52 consecutive week requirement and could not retain the GS-13.

Cannot Import Orange
A place to ask questions about methods in Orange and how they are used and other general support.

Cannot Import Orange
I am trying to use orange on my MacBook Air. I could import orange in Terminal and read the "lenses" file. But I can't import orange in my python script - orange not found. I ran "easy_install numpy && easy_install orange" in my terminal but permission to write into site-package is denied. I am the administrator of my MAC. Can someone please give me step-by-step procedure that allows me to import orange into the python environment? I am a beginner.
Re: Cannot Import Orange
obeginner wrote: I could import orange in Terminal and read the "lenses" file
Did you do this using the python bundled in the Orange.app application (considering you failed to install with easy_install)?
In that case you can use the bundled python to run your scripts. For instance
- Code: Select all
/Applications/Orange.app/Contents/MacOS/python myscript.py
- Code: Select all
export PATH=/Applications/Orange.app/Contents/MacOS/:$PATH
python myscript.py
python myscript2.py
(also see the "Scripting Using Orange from the .dmg Install" for some more tips)
In order to compile and install orange in the system python's site-packages you have to run the easy_install commands using sudoobeginner wrote:I ran "easy_install numpy && easy_install orange" in my terminal but permission to write into site-package is denied
- Code: Select all
sudo easy_install numpy
sudo easy_install orange
You will be prompted to enter your password before the commands are run.
An alternative (and better way as pip supports an uninstall command) is to use pip
- Code: Select all
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install numpy
sudo pip install orange
you can also install into user specific site-packages (no need for sudo)
- Code: Select all
pip install --user numpy
pip install --user orange

Hard Data: Data Collection Mechanisms on Human Trafficking in the Baltic Sea Region
2011-05-17 14:30:00.0
Download right click "save as"
Hard Data compares the data collection mechanisms in the 11 CBSS Member States and provides an overview of the categories of information on human trafficking cases that is currently collected, by whom it is collected, analysed and published as well as its public availability. To serve this purpose we used the Guidelines for the Collection of Data on Trafficking in Human Beings including Comparable Indicators (BM.I / IOM 2009) as a framework against which to assess existing mechanisms. The conclusions observe that there is a lack of comparable and comprehensive data - resulting in large uncertainties about the scope of the problem. It also highlights the missing link between operational actors collecting data and administrative or policy actors processing data and therefore suggests a minimum set of data indicators which would help bridge this gap. The study underlines the need to develop comparable data collection mechanisms and serves as a tool for organisations to use to enhance their own systems.

The Inpatient Adolescent Psychiatry rotation will take place at Zucker-Hillside
Hospital. All other rotations are at SIUH. Residents will have both a
general psychiatry adult inpatient experience, as well as a rotation on
an inpatient unit that treats geriatric patients. The Consultation-Liaison
experience will deepen the resident's exposure to and comfort with
both Emergency Psychiatry and the practice of psychiatry with patients
with co-morbid medical conditions. The Neurology Consultation/Clinic rotation
will allow residents to fulfill the requirements for ABPN certification,
and also expose them to a rich and constructive clinical experience.
Adolescent Psychiatry-Inpatient:
This is a required 4 week rotation on the Adolescent Pavilion during the
R- 2 year, and occurs at Zucker-Hillside Hospital.
Faculty consists of two full time child and adolescent psychiatrists, one
full time psychologist, a 0.75 FTE psychologist, two full time social
workers, two full time rehabilitation therapists in addition to the nursing
staff and four mental health workers.
Two hours of supervision by child and adolescent psychiatrists are provided
weekly. This is in addition to the bedside discussion and other didactic
discussion and/or consultations. Case loads are carefully monitored and
controlled to provide a diverse and enriching experience in child psychiatry.
The residents are expected to participate in team meetings twice a week
where patient status, treatment plan and disposition are discussed. This
is in addition to the core lecture and didactics provided on an annual
basis to the residents.
There are approximately 400 admissions to the Adolescent pavilion every
year. The Adolescent Pavilion is a co-ed inpatient unit whose population
is characterized by heterogeneity of age, race and diagnosis. The mean
age is 15 with a range from 12-18. Race: 45% Caucasian; 40% African American;
5% Hispanic; 5% Asian; 5% Other. Diagnoses: 45% Affective Disorders, 30%
Disruptive Disorders; 20% Psychotic Disorders; 5% Personality Disorders.
Each patient is given a full psychiatric and medical assessment. Treatment
provided on the unit includes: individual, group and family therapy, psychopharmacology
and cognitive/behavioral treatment approaches. While rotating on the adolescent
pavilion, the resident becomes an integral part of the treatment team,
attending all clinical meetings.
The average case load for each resident consists of four patients at a
given time. A case load of this size affords the resident the opportunity
to work-up each patient comprehensively, from a medical and biopsychosocial
perspective, as well as treat patients from a wide variety of diagnostic
categories. In addition, the resident has time allotted to participate
in the rich clinical and academic environment of the unit, including,
five community meetings per week, daily morning reports, and didactic
classes. Each resident's case load is carefully monitored and supervised
by the assigned attending psychiatrist. Therefore, the resident's
level of responsibility increases as their knowledge base and clinical
skills increase. The resident is in charge of both individual and family
treatment for the patients in their case load. Also on this rotation,
residents participate in the management of the medical and neurological
conditions that their patients are afflicted with. This is done with the
guidance of attending pediatricians and neurologists. This rotation is
equivalent in its depth and scope to a general adult inpatient rotation
with residents functioning in a manner identical to that of a general
adult inpatient rotation.
All residents have two hours of supervision provided by the attending psychiatrist.
Additional supervision is provided on an individual basis. There is also
one and a half hour per week of supervision for family meetings. This
is supervised by the unit social workers.
Inpatient Psychiatry Rotation (R-1, R-2 and R-4):
This constitutes a required 4 month rotation in the R-1 year; two (2) required
four month rotations in the R-2 year; and a 2-3 month part-time required
rotation as team leader during the R-4 year (can be lengthened if elected).
There are a total of 3 full-time psychiatrists on our inpatient unit: The
unit consists of a 15 bed mixed geriatric and adult unit contiguous with
a 20-bed adult psychiatry unit. There are additionally a total of 30 registered
nurses, 30 Patient Care Assistants, 4 Patient Engagement Specialists,
4 social workers, 2 Activities Therapists, one Nurse Managers, who is
a registered nurses and two Assistant Managers.
Residents will attend 8 hours weekly of scheduled seminars and lectures,
and as well unit-specific case conferences weekly, and team rounds daily.
Teaching will take place in all these venues, and attending psychiatry
staff will additionally be available at all times for consultation and
informal teaching opportunities.
The inpatient rotations will occur one each of two acute inpatient psychiatry
units having a mean length of stay of approximately 10 days. One unit
includes an inpatient geriatric psychiatry unit as noted above, where
the length of stay is slightly longer due to occasional discharge planning issues.
There is a mixture (males and females) of patients ranging in age from
18 years old to 65 years old on the adult inpatient services; and adults
over 65 on the geriatric psychiatry unit. The 29-bed adult unit provides
care for predominantly young adult psychiatric patients with psychotic
and major affective disorders, frequently complicated by comorbid substance
abuse disorders. The unit has a high number of individuals retained by
court order, and unit psychiatrists are frequently testifying in court,
providing an opportunity for residents to be exposed to forensic psychiatric issues.
The second, 15-bed adult unit typically serves a slightly older population
with major affective disorders. The geriatric psychiatry unit treats individuals
with major affective disorders, as well as persons with comorbid psychiatric
and cognitive disorders.
Patients at all sites are predominantly middle class, with commercial insurance
covering approximately 40%, Medicare 35% and Medicaid 25%. The demographics,
including ethnicities, reflect the heterogeneous nature of Staten Island's
The unit provides assessment and treatment with; individual, family and
group treatment as well as utilization review, quality/performance improvement,
educational seminars, discharge planning and advocacy.
Residents would have a typical case load of six patients and would be closely
supervised by the attending psychiatrists as well as participating in
the various unit therapeutic activities, including group therapies.
All residents will receive individual supervision twice weekly, including
one on-unit and one off-unit supervisor, as well as weekly group supervision
with the unit medical director.
The unit faculty includes psychiatrists with a breadth of clinical experience,
as well as a board-certified geriatric psychiatry specialist, who is also
board-certified in forensic psychiatry. Supervising faculty will include
psychiatrists and social workers with expertise in psychopharmacology,
as well as cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy and
group therapy.
Addiction and Recovery Services Rotation (R-2):
Residents will rotate through the Inpatient Detox, Inpatient Rehabilitation
and Outpatient Rehabilitation programs during each of these years, with
increasing outpatient exposure and independent practice responsibility
commensurate with their training. Programs will also in the coming year
include a new Outpatient Detox Program that is part of the New York State
DSRIP initiative.

Chunky wedges
"These shoes are not as outrageous as I usually like, but I do love them. The main downside, for me, is that they are canvas, so it's easier to get them stained. The inside is canvas, too. I use hand sanitizer on my feet so that I don't get the insides dirty. The toe is open, and this will show.I think these are just adorable. I love back and white, and I have a lot of outfits I can wear with these. I love big chunky wedges, because they give me height, but still support my feet. I wear a lot of extreme heels, so these are more like business casual shoes for me. I would recommend them if you are someone who likes crazy shoes, but you need something sensible to wear to work that you won't find too boring."

"I bought these shoes the second I saw them. When they arrived I was surprised by how tall they were and by the peeling fabric on the side of the shoe that looked like it had been hastily glued in place. I was expecting at least 2 inches shorter. Tried them on and walked around my house. Little wobbly on turns but overall good and (surprisingly) comfortable. I wore them to school the next day.... and by the end of the day my heels were bleeding because the back of the shoe had rubbed them raw. This has never happened to me in any pair of shoes I have ever owned, including heels this height. I am so dissapointed by these shoes. I don't think I can even return them now because I wore them for a whole day."

Hello. My pet is almost 11 years old. It is a bitch. Of german Shepherd breed. She have not done any mating yet. Also she is dwarf. She weights almost 20-25 kg. Perhaps. I am thinking to get her cross once. So will it be ok for her to do mating at this age. As it would be her's first time.
At home to know that your dog is fit, alert & free from any kind of ailments, you must monitor the following factors-
1. Playful, active, alert & response adequately to your calls
2. A sound appetite denoting a good health status.
3. Learn how to measure rectal temperature. A rectal temperature must not be lower than 99'F and should not cross 102'F.
4. Water intake is normal.
5. Urination, defecation should be upto the mark.
6. Tip of the nose will be bright, cool & moistened enough.
If all these factors say you that your dog is absolutely fine, you may consider nothing bad is waiting to be happened at the early hours.
Doctor actually I use to sleep only in bra and panty and some time only in bra but always I sleep with my pet Labrador male dog in blanket or quilt. When I sleep without clothes his red colour penis is came out and a liquid start drain. I use to sleep with him since 1 year. His penis or that liquid could be harm for me? Should I need to be worry about that? What should I do please explain?
My fish having small white dot on their body (ick) and one of my fish eye is getting cloudy day by day and they are dying one by one. And I added methylene blue in water to prevent ich. Please suggest me some medicine for them.
I have this puppy with me from last 10-12 days. I adopted him. He's active and eats regularly. Pedigree twice or thrice a day and rest home food like chapati ,rice, biscuits,breads etc. He got 2 months old today, he's stomach is showing growth, but his neck and face are still the same they were on the day I brought him.
I want to make home food for my 2 month old kitten. What else can I mix with mashed rice and fish broth (suggested by vet). I mean vitamins, medicines, food items etc.
My (dog) is 27 months old. Suffering with testis pain (infection) can not even stand properly. And I am using immune syrup two spoons a day. But still pain increasing. Wat is the solution for this and this is the second time facing same problem in two months. Could you pls help our pet. Thanks.
Hello Sir, My 50 days old female Lab is not eating anything, but britannia marie biscuits. And she is also not growing. I have started puppy starter, but somebody asked me to stop it, as it can harm her stomach. What to do?
Sir, My cow (4 year old- 2nd delivery) got delivered on 5 days back. She secreted milk in udder. Some milk also developed at naval (flank) part hanging like small bag. It gives milk 3L@2 times a day after delivery. Yesterday onwards, it won't lie down, milk got decreased to 1.5 L due to long time standing. Fodder intake also decreased. Is any serious problem. Any remedies/ relief tips. Please.
Many animals receive "kennel cough" vaccines that include bordetella and cpi and cav-2 every 6 to 9 months without evidence that this frequency of vaccination is necessary or beneficial. In contrast, other dogs are never vaccinated for kennel cough and diseases are not seen. Cpi immunity lasts at least 3 years when given intranasally and cav -2 immunity lasts a minimum of 7 years parenterally for cav-i. These two virus in combination with bordetella bronchiseptica are the agents, which are often associated with kennel cough, however, other factors play an important role in diseases (eg. Stress, dust, humidity, molds, mycoplasma, etc.).
Thus, kennel cough is not a vaccine preventable disease because of the complex factors associated with this disease. Furthermore, this is often a mild to moderate self limiting disease. It's just like common cold in humans. A course of antibiotics usually is enough to treat the condition. I generally do not recommend kennel cough vaccines unless dogs are staying in a boarding facility that requires them.
I have a pug and he's just 28 days old. I got him on 29th November Since then I am feeding him with cerelac thrice a day. But from yesterday onwards he's suffering from loose motions. What should I do?
Why do people/student torture animals- what drives them?
Can we analaysis and find solution: let try to stop this any more in our life
As we all aware that two animals cruelty incidents happened in tamilnadu, one with the dog and another with an monkey.
Case a, 12 yrs old kid hitting cat with broomstick, their parents brought for an counseling that he has not coutesy for animal and he was killing without any guilt.
Case b, 23 yrs adult was burning a rat alive with kerosine and feeling happy to see that rat die with burn.
And there are many cases which were not recorded and submitted for case discussion.
What typically possesses them to inflict such acts of intentional animal torture and cruelty?
These are because of psychological disorders (such as anti-social/psychopathic personality disorders and engage in deliberate acts of zoosadism), and/or because they have sexually paraphilic disorders (such as crush fetishism in which small animals are crushed for sexual pleasure).
This may be common behaviour among murderers and rapists - those with psychopathic traits characterized by impulsivity, selfishness, and lack of remorse.
Animal torture and cruelty is one of the three adolescent behaviours in what is often referred to the homicidal triad , the other two being persistent bedwetting and obsessive fire-setting. The combination of two or more of these three behaviours increases the risk of homicidal behaviour in adult life.
The behaviours in the homicidal triad are often associated with parental abuse, parental brutality (and witnessing domestic violence), and/or parental neglect.
What we can do:
The best way to prevent it is teaching by example. Parents and teachers are the key and plays very important role.
Pro-social behaviour (action/behaviours intended to help others) by parents and other role models towards animals, such as rescuing spiders in the bath, feeding birds/ants, treating pets as a member of the family,
Schools and colleges can have some pet home in the campus.
These activities or act has the potential to make a positive lasting impression on children.
It's a start, lets all have at least one pet in the home make your son/ daughter to take care of them (pet therapy).

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:13am
The Fairfield University men's lacrosse team defeated visiting University of Michigan 10-8 to earn its eighth consecutive ECAC Lacrosse League opening game victory. The Stags improve to 4-3 on the year and 1-0 in conference play, while the Wolverines fall to 0-7 overall and 0-3 in ECAC action.
Jordan Greenfield (Dover, Mass.) scored his third goal of the game, man-up, from a Sam Snow (Bainbridge Island, Wash,) with 3:29 to play in the third quarter to blunt a Michigan run and put Fairfield ahead for good, 8-7. Tristan Sperry (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) scored 2:05 into the final period, unassisted to give the Stags a 9-7 advantage.
Michigan would cut the deficit to a goal with 11:56 to play as David Joseph put home a tally. The Stags would respond promptly, as Snow scored an unassisted goal off of the ensuing face-off, won by Pierce Hyldahl (Annandale, N.J.) to give the Stags the final margin. Fairfield would not allow a goal the remainder of the way, with Jack Murphy (Cohasset, Mass.) making four of his 10 saves in the final three minutes
Gerald Logan made 17 saves in net for Michigan, with five in each of the middle two quarters. He also picked up four ground balls, equaling Brad Lott for the team-high in that category. Lott was 12-18 at the face-off X for Michigan.
Greenfield finished with a game-high three goals and had four ground balls for the Stags. Snow finished with three points, a goal and two assist, while Eric Warden (Glen Mills, Pa.) touched net twice. Sperry had a goal and an assist, as well as four ground balls.
Murphy had a game-high six ground balls, as the Stags finished with a 36-30 edge in the category. The Stags outshot Michigan 40-31 and had fewer turnovers, 23-16 in the game, with both teams causing nine turnovers. Fairfield cleared 12-16, while Michigan was 12-15. Both teams scored twice in man-up situations.
Warden scored a pass from Conor Dalton (Ellicott City, Md.) 1:45 into the contest to give the Stags a 1-0 lead. The advantage would be short-lived however as David McCormack struck at the 11:49 mark, from David Joseph, to tie the score. Dalton put the Stags back in front with an unassisted goal at the 9:04 mark. Fairfield would score off the ensuing face-off when Bryan Barry (Duxbury, Mass.) picked up the ground ball and put it home 10 seconds later. The Stags took a 4-1 lead midway in the quarter when Greenfield scored for the first time.
Michigan would respond with a run of its own, as Will Meter (1:56) and David McCormack scored seven ticks apart to cut the deficit to 4-3 at the end of the quarter. Peter Krauss scored a man-up goal 89 seconds into the second quarter to tie the score, 4-4. Alex Cramer (Annapolis, Md.) put Fairfield back in front 8:38 later, scoring a pass from Marshall Johnson (Canandaigua, N.Y.). Warden found the net for a man-up goal, this one on a pass from Snow with 1:29 left before halftime to give the Stags a 6-4 lead at the break.
The Wolverines opened the second half with three of the first four goals, staring 48 seconds in with Kraus' second. After Greenfield made the score 7-5 at the 9:25 mark, the Wolverines scored at 8:56 (Mike Hernandez) and 4:55 (Thomas Parra) to knot the score at 7-7.
Hernandez finished with a team-best three points, a goal and two assists, for Michigan, who received two goals apiece from McCormack and Kraus.
The Stags return to action on Tuesday, March 19 when they host Quinnipiac at 4 p.m. on Alumni Field.

While most of us know chia from the popular and peculiar chia pets, chia is far more than a humorous ornamental plant.

Excellent for heavy workouts and stamina is needed. I put two teaspoons in a glass of distilled water and let it sit for fifteen minutes. The seeds soak up all the water and have the consistency of jello. Sip it all day! No flavor, mix with fruit in the morning for a smoothie, put leftover in fridge and voila! A fruit jello that is packed full of vitamins, anti oxidants, omega 3+6 etc. etc.! Amazing miracle food!

One bag lasts a very long time. I sprinkle it on my cereal and eat it when it has absorbed some fluids. Makes good puddings and jams too.
Forget the rest, this is the best Chia
Posted by MattCHK on Nov 25, 2016
My choice for Chia. Good value, not goopy or gluggy. This chia doesn't go like sago and stick to everything nearly as quickly as other brands I've tried. It's really good to throw in a protein shake and slam fast. Won't stick so much to the cup or block the drain. Best I've found yet.
Excellent Quality
Posted by iGreenRain on Nov 14, 2016

Rosewood Sand Hill: Effortless Luxury at Its Best
The Rosewood Sand Hill in Menlo Park manages to capture every experience you could want in a hotel. It's a Zen retreat, romantic escape, business power spot and swanky spa resort all rolled into one. As for me, I just wanted an overnight vacation, and the Rosewood delivered with airy and spacious rooms, impeccable service, four–star dining, and comfortable elegance. I spent just less than 24 hours there, but it felt like an extended vacation.
At the gateway of Silicon Valley and Stanford University, the Rosewood is nestled on 16 pristine acres, with stunning vistas of the Santa Cruz Mountains. As for convenience, it's just minutes from SFO and San Jose Airports. No matter where you live in California, you can be poolside within a few hours.
Walking into the hotel, I felt like
the houseguest of a benevolent and tasteful billionaire. The grand living room
manages to offer comfort and opulence all at once. The cool blue, celadon and
tan color palette mirrors the colors of the sky and earth outside. Despite the
elegance, the overstuffed couches and chairs invite you to put your feet up…and
not get a dirty look for it.
The Rosewood management brags it has the largest guest rooms on the peninsula and it's no empty boast. I had one of many "omigod" moments when the bellman opened my door. The smallest rooms are 525 square feet, and all reflect a style that can best be described as California Contemporary. Nothing feels too stuffy or formal -- it's effortless luxury. And because this is Silicon Valley, "state-of-the–art" technology comes with the territory. Our room had two large flat screens as well as a flat screen in the bathroom. Most everything in the room - from movies and music to lighting and room temperature -can be operated with the TV remote. The sumptuous marble bathrooms are bigger than your average living room. Each have double vanities, a soaking tub deep enough for an NBA player and a separate rainfall shower.
After a soak in the mega tub, I headed to Madera, the property's signature restaurant. The menu changes daily and features a who's who of Northern California's most celebrated purveyors like Bellweather Farms Lamb, Niman Ranch Beef, Liberty Farms Duck and Iacopi Farms Produce. The open kitchen provides culinary theater, and if you're not watching the chefs, your eye is likely drawn to the floor-to-ceiling picture windows and the sweeping views of the hills beyond. The extensive wine list is heavily inspired by California vintners but offers selections from all over the world.
In the morning, I headed to Sense, the Rosewood's tranquil spa. My therapist sent me into skin nirvana with a treatment called the Gold Rush Renewal. She polished me with a concoction of 24-karat gold, raw sugar and fruit extracts followed by a massage with a decadent dollop of shea body butter. No question: I would drive here just for the massage. I wrapped my morning with a eucalyptus steam and an icy pink drink by the pool. Reluctant to leave, I postponed my checkout time to the last possible moment.
All of this decadence doesn't come cheap. A night at the Rosewood with dinner for two and a spa treatment could set you back $750. There are, however, some good deals right now. The Rosewood's summer escape package offers a nightly rate of $260, including breakfast and parking. Several other packages are available, from girlfriend getaways to romantic escapes, and all offer great bang for your buck. Visit the resort's special packages page for details.

The Dandy Project x Allen Edmonds
It is with great pride that I share with you my most recent collaboration: a pair of shoes I designed with Allen Edmonds, a shoe company with 90 years of rich American heritage. Allen Edmonds, still based in Port Washington, WI, and still producing everything locally, prides itself in making shoes for the officers of World War II to wear with their dress uniforms and in being the shoes that presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton wore to their inaugurations. My shoes came to me impeccably finished, and as a testament to their craftsmanship, I wore them out to the East Village for the first time and felt nary a pinch on my feet clad only with thin foot socks.
Thank you, Allen Edmonds, for this wonderful opportunity. Let's do the perfect brown shoe soon?
The Dandy Project x Allen Edmonds shoes are available via special order; you can get in touch with Allison Meyer for more information.

ACE Fit Share
Starting Position: Lie flat on your back on a mat in a bent-knee position and place a small pillow, rolled-up towel or foam pad under your head. Pull your shoulder blades back and down without moving your ribcage or low back. Try to hold this engagement throughout the exercise. Hold a light dumbbell or weight in one hand. Press that arm toward the ceiling, keeping the wrist straight and shoulder blade in contact with the mat. Place your opposite arm alongside your body.
Engage your abdominal muscles to stabilize your spine and keep the abdominals contracted throughout the exercise. Gently exhale. Rotate your trunk and legs slowly towards the arm placed at your side. The dumbbell arm does not move at all. The arm stays straight and shoulder blade stable and flat to the mat. Continue to rotate until shoulders are almost stacked upon one another. This places a significant stretch and increased load into the upper shoulder. Keep the shoulder stabilized and avoid any arching in your low back that may occur with the rotation. Bracing your abdominal muscles will help prevent this.
Pause momentarily then slowly return back to your starting position. Perform 5 - 10 repetitions at a slow, controlled pace. Repeat on the opposite side.
Exercise Variation: If a light dumbbell is not available, perform this exercise without any resistance or with any weighted device. The exercise complexity is increased by holding a kettle bell that has an "offset center of mass." To maximize the benefits of this exercise and reduce the potential for injury, it is important to stabilize the shoulder blade and carefully control the movement. Follow the instructions provided carefully
