Skip to comments.Girl of 10 can choose to convert from Judaism to Christianity
Posted on 08/02/2012 3:28:17 PM PDT by DeaconBenjamin
A 10-year-old Jewish girl may become a Christian after a judge rejected claims by her mother that she had been brainwashed and was too young to change faith.
Judge John Platt said: My job is to decide simply what is best for you and I have decided that the best thing for you is that you are allowed to start your baptism classes as soon as they can be arranged and that you are baptised as a Christian as soon as your minister feels you are ready. But the judge stressed that it did not mean the girl would lose her Jewish heritage.
The girl was born in 2001 to Jewish parents. Her mother and father divorced in 2010 and she, and her younger brother, live for a week at a time with each.
Her father converted to Christianity after the breakdown of his marriage.
In November the girls mother, without telling anyone, sought a court order forbidding the father from baptising or confirming her into the Christian faith.
The father said his daughter told him after an evangelical Christian festival that she had experienced an encounter with God. He was initially sceptical and thought she was just on a high. The father also said he was unhappy when the girl went behind his back to talk to a Sunday school teacher about being baptised.
The girls grandparents accused her father of forcing her to give up her Jewish heritage, while a rabbi told the court it would be unnatural to their soul to make a child change religion. The judge was scathing about these claims, saying that neither the mother nor the grandparents had made any real effort to consider what was best for the girl while the rabbis letter was made in inflammatory terms without any supporting evidence.

What? Before her Bat Mitzvah?
The horrying attitude of most judges and politicians.
Time to make a clean sweep.
"The horrying attitude of most judges and politicians."
Naa. They're just clearing the decks to allow mass conversion to Islam - as the Brits will find out when Muslims hit the 30% mark, with 55% of the younger adults being Muslim, and the non-Muslims being too few and too old to fight.
It's over.
What's the big deal? Those monotheists are all alike anyway.
If she tried that from Islam she would be killed.
let's see here...give up Judaism and convert to an erroneous version of Christianity....how good is that? I guess, because she will be baptized, she will at least be absolved of original sin. Christ, however, laid out a plan for salvation and the protestant church wasn't mentioned anywhere....in fact it didn't exist for 1,600 years after He laid out the plan.
>>The horrying attitude of most judges and politicians.<<
Before we knee-jerk, reread the article. It appears Dad is an evangelical Christian and Mom is Jewish.
This is REALLY Mom v. Dad - the judge is using the kid's wishes as a tie-breaker IMHO.
I didn't see anywhere in the article mentioning she wants to convert to a protestant denomination. In fact, the article talks about the dad who converted before her and mentions "The judge said it was wholly wrong for the mother to go to court without discussing it with the father or his priest." If the father's pastor is a priest, then he's probably Catholic, or possibly (though unlikely) Orthodox.
Which version would that be?
"If the father's pastor is a priest, then he's probably Catholic, or possibly (though unlikely) Orthodox. '
Or Episcopalean (sp?).
She can believe in her heart whatever she wants. As for outward signs of a religion (church attendance, baptism, or in other cases wearing a hajib, mosque attendance, or in other cases circumcision, wearing a special hat, attending temple) are up to her parents until she is independent.
In this case, dad's ok with it, mom's not, I say let the child split the difference and so as she wills.
That's the way I see it.
". Christ, however, laid out a plan for salvation and the protestant church wasnt mentioned anywhere"
Terycarl, he didn't mention Roman Catholics, either. He just mentions the church, which RC's think means them, and Protestants thinks means them.
FYI Bible believing Protestants believe they are the true church, maintained since apostolic times, just like the RC's do. Where RCs say Protestants left to go with bad doctrine, Protestants say RCs left to go with bad doctrine.
I thought the judge handled it pretty well. He didn't ask for the case, the parents brought it to him.
He ruled that the girl could continue to study the religion that drew her, that she would still have her jewish roots, and that her parents would continue to love her whatever happened.
I thought he handled it correctly and sensitively. A judge should not be deciding what your religion should be and he didn't try to. He just refused to deny the girl her right to believe what she already believed which was her father's religion. Had she been from a Christian mother attracted to her father's jewish faith the correct answer would still be the same.
Except one of those holds that the Scriptures are the authority for believers, the other clings to a single guy in a bathrobe, with a pointy hat.
Hm there are several incorrect things in your statement, but let's start with the idea that Jesus laid out a plan for salvation. Jesus said "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am [the one I claim to be] and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me." therefore, if we are honest it is not Jesus's plan of salvation, but the Father's. {Jesus is merely the executor of it. (If "merely" can be applied to Jesus, that is.)}
Secondly, where can you find the doctrine that baptism washes away sin, original or otherwise? 1 John 1:7 states clearly that it is Jesus's own blood that washes away all sin. {Then there's Paul and James to consider.}
This is REALLY Mom v. Dad - the judge is using the kids wishes as a tie-breaker IMHO.
I must admit I get tired of FReepers who immediately blame "big government" without knowing the facts.
Courts have had to, for hundreds of years, parse between religious convictions of divorced couples' kids. Nothing new, nor "big government"-like about this case. Just rather sad.
Similarly, libertarian-minded folks think if only government "got out of the marriage business," the homosexual-marriage debate would go away.
Such individuals know nothing about the complexities of English law involving marriage--complexities going back hundreds of years.
Baptismal regeneration isn't as easy to dismiss as many want to assume:
"Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good consciencethrough the resurrection of Jesus Christ..." (1 Peter 3:21, in the New American Standard Bible (widely considered the most literal of English translations))
Whoops, I meant to send the below to OneWingedShark, not freedumb2003.

I'm not really here to argue about baptism though... My main point is like freedumb2003—this is a parental custody issue, NOT a Judge-determining-religion/big government issue.
The thing is that this girl can make that decision and not have her throat slit or being stoned to death as happens in Islam.
She can ALWAYS repent and convert back at a later date. That is the beauty of Christianity and Judaism.
Try that in Libia, Syria, Iran, Irak, Pakistan, Egypt, Lebanon, etc., etc., etc..
It was UK, so all my US knowledge is inapplicable. If it were, I could dig up relevant state constitutions and make an argument.
"as the Brits will find out when Muslims hit the 30% mark"
Well we're currently at 2.9% so only another 27.1% to go then though with muslim immigration slowing and having taken 40 years to get to 2.9, I make that about 400 years give or take.
"with 55% of the younger adults being Muslim"
Bearing in mind the above 2.9%, can you spot the statistical unlikelihood of your figure being anywhere near true?
The UK is 92% white British and the US is nearing a white minority and has a foreign muslim president, so you'll forgive me if I take your guessed at numbers with a large pinch of salt.
"Well were currently at 2.9% so only another 27.1% to go then though with muslim immigration slowing and having taken 40 years to get to 2.9, I make that about 400 years give or take."
Considering that you ALREADY have Sharia zones, I'd say your timetable is a bit optimistic for your retirement plans.
Shariah zones?
Yea, really sad. But even sadder are the DENIERS, that think (or, more likely, say) that England will be JUST FINE, even after being taken over by these people.
LOL! I had a friend who used to call it Walt Disney Word.
Ah, Anjem Choudary. I thought you might be referring to him. How exactly is he and his little band of muslim poseurs taking over?
The girl's choosing to follow her father's new found faith rather than her mother's tradition. The mother has no business going to the court to stop her daughter... incredible, the fascistic thought process she must have there!
It's not surprising an adherent to a faith which compels physically altering half of children born to its followers doesn't grasp the idea of individual liberty and personal religious freedom.
"Ah, Anjem Choudary. I thought you might be referring to him. How exactly is he and his little band of muslim poseurs taking over?"
So you knew it and acted dumb - explains a lot.
If only he was alone in preaching his brand of Islam in England. Ask ANYONE that works in the prison system there - you will find your answer.
Sorry it's so hard to accept. But when you turn up the heat SLOWLY, a lot of people get lulled into thinking everything is JUST FINE. Now you wouldn't be one of them - or, if so, why are you on this site?
Does it? I thought you might be thinking of Choudary, or maybe the shariah stickers someone posted in East London a while back. Didn't know, though, so I asked.
Look I respect Jews, and like Jewish people, but once Jesus has changed your heart (as the Messiah will if allowed) a person doesn't want to go back. We ~need~ God's Grace. I hope this doesn't offend any Jewish freepers and yes God cares about you, we just know that Jesus was/is the messiah and no one can (nor would) cut off an arm same as being cut off from Jesus.
God Bless this child.
"Except one of those holds that the Scriptures are the authority for believers, the other clings to a single guy in a bathrobe, with a pointy hat. "
Spoken like a true Dutchboy! :)
"Considering that you ALREADY have Sharia zones, Id say your timetable is a bit optimistic for your retirement plans."
So do you. Sharia zone simply means muslims with a disagreement ask their imam to decide without including the courts or police. They exist wherever muslims live.
"So do you. Sharia zone simply means muslims with a disagreement ask their imam to decide without including the courts or police. They exist wherever muslims live."
I realize that you're not permitted in those zones, but there have been a lot of reports on what's going on there - and one just has to read the signs on the perimeters.
Here in the States, we have one set of laws and one set of courts. We do not have religious courts and you can tell me until you're blue in the face that "both sides" have to agree to go to an Islamic Court and abide by the ruling. But there's one problem with that - the wife doesn't have a choice - unless she's willing to give up her kids and move to another part of the country to get away from her angry neighbors and family. In other words, once you allow the courts, then they do get the force of law - and not by full consent - at least in that culture.
Do you REALLY think the women there all want to wear space suits every time they walk out the front door? But they do! Think about it - it's the first - like France is starting to do.
any man made version....Luther's, Wesley's, Knox"s, Henry VIII"s, L.Ron Hubbard's, whatever....Only the true Christian religion, established by Christ, on the Apostles, is acceptable
"I realize that youre not permitted in those zones, but there have been a lot of reports on whats going on there - and one just has to read the signs on the perimeters.
This is a figment of your imagination. They do not exist physically. If they do you'll easily be able to post a pic of one of these perimeter signs and show you're right.
"Here in the States, we have one set of laws and one set of courts. We do not have religious courts and you can tell me until youre blue in the face that both sides have to agree to go to an Islamic Court and abide by the ruling."
No, both sides have to agree in the UK for a Sharia 'court' to decide an issue and no UK laws must've been broken, it can only decide on civil matters. In the US judges are ruling that Sharia law is legal, forcing US citizens who don't want sharia to take part and denying their right to appeal. This is way ahead of anything allowed here in the UK.
You're walking into sharia in America without realising it while criticising countries like the UK who are not forcing sharia on unwilling citizens like US courts are. Wake up and smell your own coffee instead of pointing fingers at others.
"This is a figment of your imagination."
I understand the need for saying stuff like this, as the reality of what's happening over there is simply so FRIGHTENING and almost certain to result in a civil war (once the aggressive side feels they have the resources to win...as in Kosovo and Lebanon).
I get all that, and that's fine. But I'm hoping to reach real Brits, so that they pay attention and are ready to deal with the issue - before it's too late for them. They really don't have much time left to step up and fight for their way of life.
I'm sure you guys would, at least, agree to that.
Stop your blathering and post a pic of these signs that stop me entering Sharia zones in the UK or admit you made it up.
I was good enough to post a source supporting my argument, please do the same.
Also feel free to post a link showing UK citizens being forced to use sharia against their will by the courts as I did for you in the US.
You don't need to reach the 'real Brits' and warn us. You don't seem to understand it's the US that has the greatest problem. Your courts are forcing citizens to accept sharia, ours aren't, you're an officially secular country, we're officially christian, you are nearly a white minority country, we are 92% white British. You have the black, muslim, foreign president, we don't.
Physician, heal thyself instead of posting made up and unsupportable nonsense you got from the MSM about a country you seem to know little about.
I already explained how the culture works there. Sure, Sharia courts are 'voluntary' - for men. But, for women there, they have a choice to either go it alone in Britain (i.e., start a new life), or submit to the court, when there's a dispute. There are numerous websites out there that explain this.
The courts have NO BUSINESS in either of our countries. But I agree, we do have serious problems too and I find it scary the way Democrats and their judges (in the US) defend these courts when others want them out.
Boy will you have a surprise if you get to heaven. You will find a whole bunch of Protestants there who worshipped in Spirit and in truth here on earth. You may as well get used to it because we will be there for eternity. We are as much a part of Christs Church as believing Catholics are.
By the way, just type in "no-go zones" in Google. Nothing else, just that term.
This is your first response:
Of course you're more than welcome to discount it, but you asked for a link, and this is a link. I don't make this stuff up.
But maybe answer one question: Why is it so important to you that people not take the problem seriously?
"By the way, just type in no-go zones in Google. Nothing else, just that term."
OK, just did that. Only two of the 11 results had anything to do with sharia and neither showed a sign on a road stopping me entering as you claim.
"But maybe answer one question: Why is it so important to you that people not take the problem seriously?"
It's very important we take the muslim issue seriously, but we won't do that by reading half-arsed, ill-informed guesswork like your original post which points the finger at the UK whilst ignoring the fact that US courts are forcing US citizens to accept sharia when we in the UK are not. The fact that you are a secular country with a muslim president elected by your near non-white majority population shows who is in the most immediate danger, and it isn't the UK depite what your MSM stores tell you.
If you want to google, try "dearborn sharia no go zone"
This was the link that I saw...
Maybe no "do not enter" signs - but this if the areas are considered unsafe for non-Muslims - what's the difference?
I just don't know why you're so defensive about your country...but you're not the first Brit on this that way...and you still haven't said anything to dispute my claim that Muslim women effectively have NO CHOICE, in those neighborhoods, when the guy wants to go a Sharia Court. That applies both US and UK, and anywhere else those courts exist.
But one more question - at what point would you feel threatened - and why wait that long?
why would a person of faith, knowing the history of Christianity, not belong to the Catholic church??? I have no doubt that there are protestants in heaven, but they are there because they were either ignorant of the true Christian church or they somehow overcame Christ's admonition to directly follow Him. You can't possibly be equal with those who follow Catholicism because Christ did not found several thousand "denominations" He founded Catholicism and promised that He would be with her until the end of time....I'll go with that promise!!!!

2010-11 Cap
Denis Grebeshkov's exit this afternoon gives the Edmonton Oilers a small window in regard to the 10-11 salary cap. Although the club has a massive group of restricted free agents still unsigned, and have several high priced talents that appear stapled to Northern Alberta, there may be light at the end of the cap tunnel.
Below is the current list of signed Oilers for next season, with estimates for the restricted free agents added into the mix. Your input on the estimates is appreciated.
- GOAL: Khabibulin (3.75M); Deslauriers (.900M-est)
- DEFENSE: Visnovsky (5.6M); Souray (5.4M); Gilbert (4.0M); Staios (2.7M); Smid (1.3M); Chorney (.942M); Peckham (.700M-est)
- CENTER: Horcoff (5.5M); Gagner (3M-est); Pouliot (.850M-est); Potulny (1.5M-est)
- LEFT WING: Penner (4.25M); O'Sullivan (2.925M); Moreau (2.0M); Hall (3.725M-est); Cogliano (1.25M-est)
- RIGHT WING: Hemsky (4.1M); Nilsson (2.0); Brule (2.25M-est); Eberle (1.187M-est); Stortini (.700M)
Look about right? Cap is supposed to be about $57M, the 23-man roster above comes in at $60,529,000 (over by 3.3M). Estimates are just that, thanks to Mr. Bugg for his inpute.
One more thing: they probably aren't done. As I mentioned in this post, all of Moreau, Pisani, Comrie and Cogliano are still available and there are rumors (source: Darren Dreger, tsn) that Tom Gilbert is being shopped all along the eastern seaboard.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
On July 9, Huntington Cleveland Irrigation Company shareholders voted to accept agreements with several agencies and proceed with installation of a pressurized irrigation system. HCIC includes shareholders from Lawrence, Cleveland, Elmo and Huntington. The board of directors for HCIC represents 600 members, and have been working on this project for several years.
The main driving force behind the project is salinity control in the Colorado River. It is estimated that with the installation of pressurized irrigation, the amount of salt introduced into the Colorado River will be reduced by 70,000 tons annually. This project will be known as the Huntington Cleveland Irrigation Company Salinity Control Project.
Historically, water to irrigate crops in the valley was delivered from the reservoirs, through series of canals, and into the fields. The system has worked, although inefficiently, for many years. This new pressurized irrigation system will make delivery and application of water more efficient. Other irrigation companies in the area have converted to pressurized systems, including Ferron, Price and parts of Miller Creek. The most noticeable benefit from these systems is the more efficient use of existing water.
During drought years, the system is expected to better utilize the available water for irrigators to use on their fields. The pressurized system will significantly reduce conveyance losses, the amount of water lost due to absorption in the canal system. Another benefit from the changeover will be increased crop yield, due to the better and more efficient placement of the water.
Ted Curtis, HCIC board member, stated, "This project is expected to cost $64 million dollars over the next 5-10 years. Bids will be let out soon for the construction phase of the project. HCIC has hired JUB Engineering to act as the project engineer. Our target date to begin construction of the project is Spring of 2006."
Several agencies and businesses are involved with the funding or organization of the salinity control project. They are: the Utah State Office of Water Resources, Natural Resource Conservation Service, Bureau of Reclamation, Water Conservancy District, Colorado River Salinity Forum, HCIC shareholders, PacifiCorp, and the Utah State Engineer's Office. The NRCS, the BOR, PacifiCorp, and the HCIC are funding the $64 million dollar project.
"There are still a lot a details to work out and some obstacles to overcome. This project has the potential to impact HCIC shareholders more than anything since the construction of the reservoirs and the canal system. We are literally building a new infrastructure. We also anticipate that this project will have long and short term economic impact on the area," said Curtis. "Everyone involved with this project has put in a lot of hours, and much hard work. I really appreciate everyone's involvement, including the board of directors, for the time and effort put into this project."

There is a lack of vital records concerning Adam Wright and his family, but fortunately George Bowman did a thorough job of researching the family, sorting out which children were born to each wife, which was published in the Mayflower Descendant. Adam Wright was born, probably in Plymouth, Mass., about 1645, the son of Richard and Hester (Cooke) Wright. Hester was the daughter of Mayflower passengers Francis and Hester (Mahieu) Cooke.
Adam was called a blacksmith in 1699 and 1701 court documents.
|Adam Wright's Plympton Homesite (source: Eugene Wright's History of Plympton)
Adam married 1st Sarah Soule in Duxbury or Plymouth around the year 1678. She was born ca 1660, likely in Duxbury, the daughter of John and Rebecca (Simmons) Soule, granddaughter of Mayflower passenger George Soule.
Adam and Sarah had six children:
1. Esther b. about 1679, married Daniel Pratt
2. John b. 1680-81, married Mary Lucas
3. Mary b. about 1683, married Jeremiah Gifford
4. Isaac b. Plymouth 19 January 1685/86, married Mary Cole
5. Rachel b. 1688-89, married Ebenezer Barlow
6. Sarah b. about 1692, married Seth Fuller
I descend through Adam and Sarah's son Isaac.
Sarah (Soule) Wright died between between 1691 (when she signed a deed) and 1699 (when Adam's son Samuel was likely born by his second wife).
Adam married 2nd, after March 1690/91, Mehitable Barrow, daughter of Robert and Ruth (Bonham) Barrow. They had four children together, and Adam would have been about 66 years old when his youngest was born.
1. Samuel, b. about 1699, married Anna Tilson
2. Moses, b. about 1703, married Thankful Boles
3. James, b. about 1707, married Elizabeth Waterman
4. Nathan, born Plympton 12 May 1711, married Hannah Cooke
|Map showing Plympton early settlers Adam is no. 1 which is hard to read, under no. 21 (source: Eugene Wright)
Adam Wright died at Plympton 20 September 1724, in his 79th or 80th year. He is buried at the Old Burial ground there (aka Hillcrest Cemetery) on Main Street with other family members. Adam's stone is a replacement stone; I assume his original stone was a slate one that has not survived or is not readable. Many of the old stones in this cemetery are in poor, even crumbling, condition.
|Adam Wright's replacement stone
Adam's will and inventory are recorded in the Plymouth County Probate Records, Volume V, pages 26 – 29, transcribed by George E. Bowman for the Mayflower Descendant. His will was written 9 April 1723 at Plympton, stating that he was old in age but in perfect health and sound in mind and memory. It mentions his already having deeded land to sons John, Isaac, Samuel, and Moses (John was bequeathed five shillings and any land not otherwise disposed of); grandchildren Joshua Pratt and his sister Sarah, children of his deceased daughter Esther Pratt, to receive 5 shillings; daughter Sarah Fuller the wife of Seth Fuller to receive land and part of moveable estate she already had; sons James and Nathan were to receive 100 pounds each on their 21st birthdays; daughter Mary Gifferd wife of Jeremiah Gifferd to receive 20 pounds; daughter Rachel Barlow wife of Ebenezer Barlow to receive 20 pounds; wife Mehitable Wright, whom he named executrix, was to have the remainder of the estate as long as she remained his widow. If she remarried, she would receive 20 pounds.
The will was witnessed by Joseph Thomas, Nathaniel Fuller and Isaac Cushman Junr. It was probated on 2 November 1724.
An inventory was taken 10 October 1724 by Isaac Cushman Junr, Joseph Thomas and James Soul. It included swine, cattle, sheeps wool, wheels and cards, grindstone, iron, brass, pewter and earthenware, books, apparel, bedsteads.
There are small things in the documents related to Adam that make me quite fond of him. He seemed like a loving, kind family man. He fathered children well into his 60s. That he was still healthy when he was in his late 70s was certainly admirable. He bequested 20 pounds to his wife if she remarried—it seems more common for a woman to lose any claim to her late husband's estate if she married again—which indicates to me that he wanted her to be happy and comfortable. In a deed of land to his daughter Sarah Fuller he wrote that it was in consideration of the love he held for her.
Note: The Plympton Historical Society has Eugene Wright's, History of Plympton, available on its website. It is a collection of his research from a loose-leaf binder and includes the photo of Adam Wright's homesite and the map showing the location. The website address is http://town.plympton.ma.us/cultural/hc_wright.html.

Solomon Islands
The Solomon Islands comprise one of the most intact and biologically rich oceanic archipelagos on Earth. Extreme patterns of endemism and geographic differentiation among populations across its islands have attracted the attention of prominent biologists since the Museum's Whitney South Seas Expedition nearly a century ago. Pacific Programs scientists are currently conducting basic natural history and systematic work on birds and frogs, in addition to research projects that focus on processes of geographic differentiation and speciation among island birds.
With one of the fastest growing populations on the globe, and little economic alternative to escalating mining and timber industries, pressure on the diverse land and seascapes of this tropical region is immense. Land use in the Solomon Islands is determined by holders of customary rights to the land, namely individuals within local communities. This textures both threat and opportunity for biodiversity conservation. Extractive industry has exploited land-owning communities resulting in startling increases in unregulated large-scale logging. If the remarkable biodiversity of the Solomons is to survive and continue to inspire and sustain human communities, a national protected-areas strategy, including immediate land-use alternatives to large-scale foreign resource extraction, is imperative.
To build capacity for biodiversity conservation and more balanced land-use practices in the Solomon Islands, the CBC's Pacific Programs pursues community-based biodiversity research, education, and conservation activities that span the archipelago. Our approach embraces land tenure in the Solomons; with appropriate incentives, landholding communities can protect a remarkable component of the Earth's living diversity. We are establishing a legal and logistical framework to enable communities in control of important areas for biodiversity to enter into negotiated long-term agreements with parties seeking to "invest" in conservation, such as international donor agencies. In return, we are working to provide direct economic alternatives to resource extraction that are more conducive to lasting conservation.
At the heart of the Pacific Programs' evolving approach to conservation in the Solomons is the development of community-based partnerships that provide incentives for combined forest and near-shore marine biodiversity conservation. The Community Conservation Agreements (CCAs) we are implementing stipulate development and livelihood improvement benefits in partnership with landholding groups, in return for community-based delivery of biodiversity conservation.
Conservation efforts include both direct work within rural landholding communities to improve resource stewardship and initiatives designed to develop the necessary in-country capacity and infrastructure to facilitate the long-term sustainability of community-driven protected areas. These efforts draw upon the dual strengths of the biodiversity research and conservation initiatives of Pacific Programs, as well as the CBC's Network of Conservation Educators and Practitioners (NCEP). NCEP activities focus on outreach and capacity development for local decision-makers that can support and strengthen the development of conservation agreements and prospects for their long-term sustainability. Our hope is that a portfolio of community-based initiatives across a variety of sites in the Solomons will serve to pilot a national protected areas network based on that can then be used to attract long-term, endowed support from bi- and multi-lateral donor agencies.

Great Sandal
"So, I'm planning a trip to Puerto Rico and wanted to find a flip flop/sandal. Unfortuntely, the stores no longer carried them due to the season change. I was wary to order online since I could not try them on. They arrived quickly and are so comfortable and fashionable. I love them and think I'll be wearing them for the whole trip. To top it off, I had $15 in certificates I could apply, which made the sandal even more of a bargain. I wear a 9.5, but these only come in 9 or 10. I ordered the 10, but they run a bit short, so they ended up fitting PERFECTLY! The fit is comfortably snug on my feet so they won't come flying off like traditional flip flops."

Elisenda Vila Llonch, curator, British Museum
Curators usually think very carefully about the title of an exhibition. In a few words we have to convey a key message to catch people's attention and to draw in the crowds. Our current exhibition Beyond El Dorado: power and gold in ancient Colombia, was no exception. At the British Museum we felt we had to include the words 'El Dorado' in the title. This Spanish term, which means the 'golden one' or 'the gilded one', is familiar to many, but very few know what or who El Dorado was. Perhaps this is part of its mystical aura; the inevitable attraction of the unknown?
Throughout the centuries, El Dorado was described by some as a man fully dressed in gold regalia. Other people believed he was a ruler or even a city covered in this precious metal. Some believed it was a golden kingdom. In fact, El Dorado was none of these. It was a myth that grew over the centuries that seems to have originated from the gold-thirsty Europeans in their exploration of the New Continent, soon to be called America. From 1499 the Spanish explorers and conquistadores reached the Caribbean coasts known today as Colombia and were especially dazzled by the quantity of gold being used by indigenous people. The King of Spain even named these lands 'Castilla del Oro' (Castile of Gold). But this Dorado was always elusive, always further south, or further north, or more towards the east; never being reached by the many expeditions and men that invested their live in this futile search.
Some chroniclers placed El Dorado in the Colombian landscape, and few even ventured to link it to Lake Guatavita. This wonderful lagoon, nested in the green Andean highlands about 35 miles north of modern day Bogota, became the focus of attention for explorers and treasure hunters for many centuries. Accounts by Juan Rodriguez Freyle (1636) picture a vivid image of one of the rituals that took place in this lake. When a Muisca ruler came to power, and after much ceremony and fasting, he was taken to the lagoon where he was stripped of all his clothing. His body was covered in gold powder and placed at the center of a raft with attendants adorned with colorful feathers and gold ornaments. As the raft sailed towards the center of the lake, the crowds sang and danced and aromatic resins were burned. When the boat reached the center, a banner was raised, everyone fell silent and offerings of gold and emeralds were thrown to the waters of the lake. But there was much more than just gold offered; the truth behind the myth was far more fascinating. Excavations in the early 20th century have shown that wonderful ceramics, stone necklaces and other materials were also deposited in the lake.
This lavish ceremony was probably only one of many that took place in Guatavita. And this lagoon was only one of the sacred locations throughout the Andean landscape where Muisca rituals took place (including rivers, caves, rocks). There is much more than just a myth to be explored; there are rich cultures, unique objects and exceptional belief systems, which all go beyond the power granted to gold in modern times.

|In response to Re: Washer overflows waste piping
: We just moved and our washer seems to be pushing waste water out too fast for the pipe to handle in the new house. The pipe is about 1.25" in diameter and washer hose is 1". The pipe is vertical and the washer hose is fit down into the pipe and then secured. This will occasionally back up and then overflow despite the fact that the line is clear (snaked and draino'ed). I suspect that the pipe goes down about 3-4 feet and the makes a 90 degree turn. BTW, the washer company says that there is no way to get the washer to pump water out slower.
: How do I prevent this from happening?

How to Choose a Cord Blood Bank
Collecting, processing, and banking stem cells is a highly specialized industry. When comparing different cord blood banks, remember that stem cell processing is not a service that should be decided by the lowest price or the closest location to you. Expertise, experience, and accreditation by third party inspectors are critical aspects to investigate with any cord blood bank.
Always keep in mind that you are making a decision to entrust your newborn's unique stem cells to a banking service. The most important thing is that the company (and your baby's cells) are there if you need them and that they are viable (usable). Cord blood stem cells are a miracle of nature that are only available once in a lifetime.
The four "must have" features you should look for in a cord blood bank:

Just like that, the school year at Emery High is at a close and with that closing comes the end of the 2005-2006 athletic season. The Lady Spartans lost to the Delta Rabbits in a play-in game.
The Lady Spartans traveled to Spanish Fork to face the Rabbits for the third time this season. The two teams had split the first two ball games, each team having won on their own field. Delta won the game 3-2.
Delta took the first lead as they scored a run in the bottom of the first inning. Emery tied the score in the top of the second inning, took the lead in the top of the third at 2-1 and the watched Delta tie the score 2-2 in the bottom of the third. Neither team was able to put another run on the scoreboard until Delta scored in the bottom of the seventh inning to claim the win and the right to advance to region 10's first place site.

The secret to a sound MIG weld is found by combining several mechanical techniques into one fluid welding motion. It also helps to have the right welder for the job. If you've never welded before or looking to improve your MIG welding skills, we'll take a look at some hot new equipment and techniques to help you master the art on your truck.
Whether you work on your classic truck for a hobby or you're a hardcore collector aiming for a perfect restoration, welding can be a challenging skill to master and require different equipment for heavier work. Once you've honed this talent, though, the world of custom fabrication and design is limited only by your own creativity.
Welding is mastered through practice and technique. Trial and error is the way we all learn, but you have to understand the basics first. At CCT, we've decided it was time to take up the MIG gun and show you a few tips to steer you in the right direction beginning with MIG welding. In upcoming issues, we'll also be covering TIG, Plasma Cutting and even tell you what you'll need to stay safe as the sparks fly.
Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding is a fairly easy process to learn. The welding machine creates an arc between the work piece (what you want to weld) and a continuously consumable electrode (the wire in the MIG gun). The operator need only focus on directing the MIG gun at the joint and proper motion, which is what we'll be looking at more in depth. Mild steel, stainless and even aluminum can all be welded using the MIG process.
MIG welding is easier with the right machine. Your requirements are based on the level of your welding needs and what you want to do to your truck. To begin our look at MIG welding, we'll discuss two extremes: the latest entry-level welder for welding in your home shop, and one for the more experienced welder who may want to weld thicker metal and aluminum.
Setting your weld parameters can be tricky when you are starting out. The folks over at Miller recently introduced the Millermatic 140 with Auto-Set™ to take the guess-work out of setup and operation. Auto-Set technology allows the operator to simply set the wire diameter and the material thickness and the machine is ready to weld. It automatically sets wire feed speed and voltage for optimal welding results with relatively no spatter for welding 24-gauge up to 3/16 in. mild steel. Right out of the box, this 30 -140 amp, 115V machine is designed to grow with the operator. When desired, the Auto-Set feature can be turned off and the operator can select voltage and wire feed speed in manual mode. List price for this welder is $789.
For those looking for the flexibility to MIG thicker materials (22-gauge to 1/2 in.) or aluminum, the Millermatic 251 connects to 208 V/ 230V or 230V / 460V / 575 V power and offers an optional direct connect spool gun. The 251 doesn't have the Auto-Set feature of the 140, but has a higher amperage range (30 - 300) plus, the ability to weld aluminum is really cool. The base list price for the Millermatic 251 is $2,342. The optional spool gun is an additional cost.
The recipe for making a sound MIG weld is the same whether you are just starting out or you have years of fabrication experience: technique. Both machines will give you a great weld provided you use the right technique. MIG welding on steel is different than welding aluminum with a spool gun, not to mention the various angles that you'll be welding.
Depending on what stage your truck is in, you'll most likely find yourself welding in a horizontal, vertical or overhead position vs. the more desirable flat position. The angle you hold the gun at will change with the type of joint being welded (e.g., butt joint, T-joint, lap joint, or plug weld). Gun angles help shape the weld bead and determine the degree of penetration into the work piece. We'll discuss what angles you should use for various positions.
The 115V Millermatic 140 with Auto-Set™ is a welder designed for the pro-hobby garage guy. The Auto-Set feature eliminates guesswork while setting parameters up and can be turned off if so desired. The standard 75 percent argon, 25 percent CO2 gas mix is required for Auto-Set and is great for mild steel.
For those with a preferred weld style, Auto-Set can be switched off, putting the Millermatic 140 in Manual Mode. The chart on the inside of the door is helpful for determining both wire feed speed and voltage parameters for the size of wire. Matching the voltage to the wire feed speed is key for producing a good weld. On machines that give an approximate starting volts and amps, start on the high end and fine tune from there.
Next, take the specified parameters from the chart and dial them in on the front of the welder. Set voltage first. The main objective of welding is to melt the base metal and then add filler wire. Voltage controls the amount of penetration. If you're unsure, set the voltage high; you can always come down. Beware: you may get a great looking weld with a low voltage, but you could just pile wire on top of the weld piece rather than have good fusion. Next set the wire feed speed.
One of the more common mistakes novice welders make is having too much stickout (3/4 in. or more). Generally maintain a stickout of ¼ - 3/8 in. A short stickout helps ensure a good start. Here's a tip: Hold your snips at a 45 degree angle from the edge of the nozzle, cut the wire and you'll automatically get about a 3/8 in. stickout.
To setup the Millermatic 140 using Auto-Set, simply select the wire size on the wire feed knob and the blue Auto-Set light will illuminate.
Next, specify what material thickness you plan to weld. The welder comes with the material thickness gauge seen here. Once you know how thick the material is, select the size on the voltage knob under the setting for material thickness. You're ready to weld!
This 10-degree gun angle, as seen from the welder's perspective, is the proper setup for a horizontal lap weld with a push technique. Pushing usually produces lower penetration and a wider, flatter bead because the arc force is directed away from the weld puddle. Not only is this technique optimal for viewing the weld joint, it also ensures good gas coverage and is great for welding on thin materials to avoid burn through.
Use both hands to steady the gun in a comfortable position. Maintain the 10-degree gun angle and start welding with a small, back and forth motion. The rate of your travel speed influences the shape and quality of a weld bead to a significant degree. Keep the arc on the leading edge of the puddle; don't let the molten metal get ahead of you. Also, watch the toes (edges) of the weld to ensure you're getting good penetration.
This is what the completed weld should look like. Note the discoloration of the base material, this is known as the Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ). Excessive heat or too slow of a travel speed can cause this area to enlarge and on thin materials, heat is a bad thing that leads to warping. To help maintain the amount of heat, weld in small segments and allow for cooling between welds.
When describing the fundamentals of a good weld, there are three different gun angles to keep in mind: the direction of the travel (travel angle); the angle of the direction of travel and the angle of the gun to the joint (work angle). Think of welding as drawing a line down the center of the joint, as demonstrated here.
Here is a look at the work angle between the gun and the joint on a lap weld, which is roughly 45 degrees.
The travel angle viewed here shows the 10- to 15-degree gun angle required for the push technique.
The same welds, seen from a side angle shows warping of the thin material caused by excessive heat. If this were a larger piece of sheet like that found in body panels, the warping would not allow for a correct fit and throw off any other body measurements.
Work angles change with the type of joint being welded. Here is a traditional T-Joint fit up. Tack-weld the ends of the base material into the position and try to maintain a 10-degree travel angle while using the push technique.
Keep an eye on your travel speed and gun angles. Travel angles beyond 20 to 25 degrees can lead to more spatter, less penetration and general arc instability. This is due to poor metal transfer, poor direction of the weld metal and poor shielding gas coverage.
Another way to determine you are welding correctly is by sound. A smooth sizzling bacon sound will tell you you're doing everything correctly. Loud popping and flying batons can signal that the gun is too far away from the joint or the wire feed speed needs to be turned up.
Practice. To make a sound weld, you must learn to combine all the mechanical techniques into one fluid motion. A good weld should look like a stack of dimes, as seen here. Practice so that welding on all joints in all positions becomes second nature. Visually and structurally test your welds on pieces of scrap before putting the gun to your truck for the first time.
Here's another joint that you'll likely encounter on your truck. A plug weld is a technique used to fill in holes or plug-weld two pieces of thin material together. To fill a hole, start with the gun at the 10-degree travel angel and weld around the edge of the hole, making complete circles and spiraling inward until it is filled.
This is what the plug weld looks like from the back of the material. A quick hit with the grinder and it'll look as if there was never any hole at all.
If you intend to do any chassis welding, (thicker metal) or have the desire to weld aluminum components, you're going to need a welder that can handle the increased demands for power and process. The Millermatic 251 seen here is connected to 230V power and offers an optional direct-connect spool gun for MIG welding aluminum.
A common weld found while fabricating on trucks is the vertical down position seen here on mild steel. Vertical welding, both up and down, can be difficult. Since you are fighting gravity, consider reducing the voltage and amperage 10 to 15 percent from the settings for the same weld in the flat position.
Begin at the top and work your way down. This technique helps when welding thin metals because the arc penetrates less due to a faster travel speed. Let gravity be your friend, maintain a 45-degree work angle between the nozzle and the joint. When welding, angle the gun slightly back into the puddle at a 5 to 15 degree angle.
For thin metal where burn-through is a concern, angle the gun slightly up and pull it downward, keeping the wire on the leading edge of the weld puddle.
The Spoolmatic 30A spool gun has a built-in drive system for hassle-free aluminum welding. Because aluminum wire is softer than mild steel wire, it can not easily be pushed through a drive system and gun liner without bird nesting. A spool gun eases the delivery of aluminum wire by shortening the distance it needs to travel.
The spool gun has three connections seen here. The gas hose, control cable and the weld power connection. Remember to set the welder for reverse polarity (DCEP), which is the same for mild steel. For welding aluminum, use 100 percent argon shielding gas with a 20 to 40 cfh flow rate. Proper gas coverage is key around the weld puddle so that the arc and argon cleans off the oxide coating on the aluminum creating good fusion.
When welding aluminum, the push technique is the only technique that ensures good gas coverage of the weld puddle and provides better cleaning action.
MIG welding of aluminum progresses at a faster travel rate than for steel. Due to the high thermal conductivity and low melting point of aluminum, the travel speed will increase as the welding progresses. If travel speed is not increased, there is a chance of excessive melt-through on thin aluminum parts.
When exposed to air, aluminum forms a hard, oxide layer that completely covers the aluminum surface. The white area seen around the weld is the result of the arc and argon gas cleaning the oxide coating off the aluminum.
Always use the push technique when welding aluminum to ensure proper gas coverage as seen here on the left. The weld on the right is an example of the drag technique where there was not enough gas coverage to clean the aluminum.
This chart shows two types of weld bead patterns, the Stringer Bead and Weave Bead. The slight motion used in a weave pattern is helpful in covering an area with one pass of the electrode and when done right, the bead will resemble a stack of dimes.
Whether you weld occasionally or you pound wire like crazy, practice your welds until the technique becomes second nature. This diagram shows examples of a good weld and several bad MIG welds.

Not being able to choose a favorite song from a quality remix package is a good problem to have. On the remix package for his latest song "Same Hearts" (featuring Bear Mountain), Pat Lok presents us with this most glorious of problems. The original is a dreamy, cosmic jam that straddles the line between Deep Disco & House while the remix package offers up a little bit of everything ranging from Indie Funk (Oxford) to Darkside Haus (Shelby Grey) to 80s Disco Funk (Ride The Universe…my personal favorite). And if that's not enough for you, just ask the experts:
Goldroom: "really like RTU mix and Oxford's, original is super fun and stands out with an original style"
Mighty Mouse: "love this, all versions great"
Drop Out Orchestra: "The Ride The Universe Remix is fun!"
Cosmo Baker: "Pat Lok does it again. A stomper."
Cyclist: "Greatest song ever written"
So the experts all agree: Pat has a great package.

Man allegedly tried to sell pot to 12-year-old girl in Nevada City
March 5, 2013
A Nevada City man remained in county jail after allegedly trying to sell pot to a 12-year-old girl.
The man approached the girl on Broad Street just before 8 a.m. Monday and told her he had a substantial amount of marijuana in his pocket and asked if she wanted to buy some, said Nevada City Police Chief Jim Wickham.
The girl allegedly called her mother, who in turn contacted several city employees at City Hall, Wickham said.
The man, identified as Curtis Wayne Mock, was located near the National Hotel by two police officers.
"They did locate several bindles of marijuana on his person, consistent with sales," Wickham said.
Mock, 29, was arrested on suspicion of possessing marijuana for sale and selling marijuana to a minor. He was booked into county jail in lieu of $35,000 bail.

Berkley Havoc Ike's 5" Flat Dawg 8pk
Designed by Elite Series pro, Michael "Ike" Iaconelli, the Berkley Havoc Ike's Flat Dawg is the culmination of years of on-the-water experience and months of field-testing. While it may fall into the category of soft stick bait, it is a far cry from your standard worm imitation.
Unlike other stick baits, the Berkley Havoc Ike's Flat Dawg has two flat sides. This allows it to catch more water on the fall, slowing its descent and accentuating its action. It also features a slightly crooked tail that produces increased vibration. You can throw it on a split shot, shakey head or Texas-rig, but where it really excels is on a wacky rig. Also covered with a number of small pits which give it a unique texture the makes bass hold on longer, the Berkley Havoc Ike's Flat Dawg is available in a range of proven colors for any fishing situation.
"If you like fishing soft stick baits, and if you want to catch bigger fish, and more fish - in heavily pressured water. Try the Berkley Havoc Flat Dawg." - Mike Iaconelli, 2003 Bassmaster Classic champ and 2006 BASS Angler of the Year.

Comments: great bait overall. good action when wacky rigged. cinnamon purple flake kills down here on Chickamauga. not very durable but for the price you cant beat it
From: Keaton: Chattanooga, TN 8/12/15
Comments: Great bait with TONS of action! Caught a 4.5 pounder on my third cast! Only downside to this bait is that the worm is only good for at max 2 fish. If you're fishing them, you're going to want a lot of them! You'll burn through them fast if your on the fish.
From: David: AL 12/26/14
Comments: this worm works pretty good, shimmies on the fall very slow and natural, and ive caught a lot of bass with it, the problem is, it rips off the hook when you texas rig it, so i had to wacky rig it and use a O ring to keep it on.
From: Doug: Glassboro, NJ 12/22/14
Comments: Ok,here is how you address the problem of durability while Wacky Rigging: Buy some small diameter black rubber bands that would be about 2 inches across. Now take it and fit it over the thin end of the bait, then place it about mid-way from either end. Take the rubber band and form one or two more loops around the mid section of the Flat Dawg so the band is snug. Finally, stick the point of your wacky hook under the rubber band, being careful not to pierce the soft plastic of the worm. The tightness of the band will keep the hook from sliding out between the skin of the worm and the rubber band. It will last three times as long, now!
From: A.J.: RI
Comments: Absolutely awesome bait. This is a true Berkley original. I have caught a ton of bass on these things. The drawback would be the durability because I average only 1-2 Bass per bait. But they are LOADED with salt and that is a great feature. They are really no less durable than a Senko and these are $3 a pack. Sure you'll go through a ton of them on a good day; but isn't it worth it? If I get away with 2 packs on an outing it was worth $6 for the action they produce. Give em' a try; you'll love them. Just be prepared to go through a few. Please remember though; this is a top quality bait at a very reasonable price. They are very soft plastic; are loaded with salt so they will tear. But the trade off is that they flat out work. I'll take these over a Senko 7 days a week. I typically fish these on a weightless Texas Rig with a 3/0 standard EWG hook. I tried the Superline hooks and did find they tend to rip the baits much quicker.
From: Gary: PA
Comments: They tear easy but so do the original senkos and these are less than half the price for 2 less baits. The flat shape has a great side to side wobble on the fall.
From: Clayton: Gardner, KS
Comments: Try the Flat Dawg drop shotting. Caught me my personal best Largemouth. Over 6lbs. Glides through the water if you use a 1/0 EWG for the drop shot hook.
From: Felix: Albany, NY USA
Comments: Nice action and definitely a fish catcher, but I got 10 fish on 8 baits fishing it wacky style. I went through one bag in less than an hour catching dinks. I haven't tried using an O ring, but I'm not sure that it would work well due to the flattened shape of this bait.
From: Charles: Scranton, PA
Comments: Great stick bait works great only downfall bass tear these things up way to easy.
From: Vegamax: CA
Comments: this bait will sink with a nice wobble even when rigged weightless and even more with a wacky jig head. due to it being flat sided, it's not as meaty as your typical senko style bait. therefore, it's extremely soft and helps give it great action. on the downside, durability is sacrificed greatly. it's easy for bass to bite one end and tear it right off your hook when wacky rigged. for the price range you can't complain too much but you will go through the whole pack in no time.
From: Elijah: Seattle, WA
Comments: Higher salt content than a yamamoto senko. this thing is the deal right here!!! Durability isn't its strong suit, but it sure catches fish! can't beat the price either. Thanks berkley!!
From: James: Lake Minnetonka, MN
Comments: This has great action in the water wacky rigged or texas rigged weightless. My only complaint is that i wish the head was wider to make texas rigging easier, to solve this i cut the top off. I was surprised to see that Berkley put salt in these, LOTS of salt similar to the amount in a Senko. It has about the same durability as a Senko but at such a low price it's not an issue.
From: Adam: Long Island
Comments: finally! A cheap good stickbait! Thank you berkley and iaconelli, I can't wait to get my hands on these!
From: Cullen: Ashburn, VA

I absolutely love Snow College. The atmosphere is great and everything is close to campus. The people are fun and nice. Even though Ephraim is a small town, there are many ways that students face the boredom. The school puts on a lot of activities for the students and there are a lot of great hiking spots here. There are also many ways to get involved otherwise with the school. There is an endless amount of clubs that a student can join, and the LDS institute near campus puts on activities for the students to do as well. If Snow was a four-year college, I would definitely stay here. Yet being a two year college is what makes Snow, Snow.Read More

The best part about Snow college is the location. Sure, there isn't a lot out there, but don't let that discourage you. I grew up in a small town and love the atmosphere of Snow. Because there isn't a lot we found inexpensive ways to have fun. From night games to all night card game tournaments to dance parties, there was always something to do. Plus, the long car rides for Denny's runs, late movies, or a spontaneous shopping trip can turn into great memories. The people are all very nice and accepting. It's almost impossible to walk on campus and not have someone say hello.Read More

Asics Wins again
"I usually run on 1 of 3 brands of shoes: ASICS, SAUCANY & MIZUNO. For a while I was using the later 2 but then found a pair of ASICS Surveyor at my local DSW store. Took them for a test run & found them phenomenal. Good fit, good cushioning & stability. I also noticed the soles were not wearing as quickly as my other shoes. In addition, I was maintaining a more neutral gait. I was so impressed, I went online and bought a second pair. May buy a third as well, they were that good. I usually run 5-6 mi. 3-4 times/week."

UNICEF Executive Board First Regular Session 2014
UNICEF Executive Board
First Regular Session 2014
Report of the Board of Auditors 2012
Statement by Estonia, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, The Netherlands
Mr. President,
I have the honor to deliver this statement on behalf of Estonia, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand and my own country, the Netherlands.
Let me start by welcoming the Report of the Board of Auditors for the year 2012, and the opinions expressed therein.
We support UNICEF's commitment to greater transparency and accountability with regard to reporting on both success and challenges against development and humanitarian results, and on expenditures, including the decision to sign up to the International Aid Transparency Initiative IATI.
Mr. President,
The Report of the BOA is an important benchmark for UNICEF's financial management performance. Its observations bring out the strong and the weak parts of the organization, and we welcome the recommendations of the Board.
We commend UNICEF for the successful implementation of the IPSAS accounting framework. The BOA concludes that with the adoption of IPSAS, UNICEF has enhanced the transparency and accountability of its financial processes and improved the quality and credibility of its financial reports.
The Board also identifies several weaknesses in governance structures and risk management, including a lack of sufficient oversight of the implementation of the cooperation agreements with the National Committees. I would like to focus my comments specifically on three areas of concern, which were also mentioned in the BOA Report for the biennium 2010-2011.
First: The National Committees are important fund raisers and partners of UNICEF. We acknowledge that they are legally independent NGO's which have cooperation agreements with UNICEF. However, the actions and policy of one reflect on the whole of UNICEF. We are concerned about the deficiencies noted by the BOA, and the possible negative effects on the UNICEF brand and reputation worldwide.
We welcome therefore the progress made over the last years by UNICEF, in strengthening its oversight and monitoring of the activities of the National Committees, including of their financial performance. But more still needs to be done to improve the relationship between UNICEF and the National Committees. It is important that the conditions of the cooperation agreements with the National Committees are transparent, and are consistently monitored and implemented. In this respect, we support the use of Joint Strategic Plans and Roadmaps as part of the cooperation agreements, and urge the National Committees to develop and implement them.
Furthermore, we would welcome the creation of some sort of Peer Review system among the National Committees, to learn from each other and keep each other accountable. We would be interested to hear whether there such initiatives are being explored, to improve transparency and accountability.
Mr. President,
In our view the target retention rate should be enforced and at least 75% of the funds raised by the National Committees should be transferred to UNICEF in a timely manner. Policies on reserves should be transparent and reserves should be kept at a reasonable level, normally at the level of three month operating expenditures. The remaining 25% of the funds should be well and transparently accounted for by National Committees.
Second: The BOA report shows that oversight by UNICEF in the area of cash transfers is still weak and has to be strengthened. The Board is concerned, that insufficient capacity assessment and assurance activities will expose UNICEF to a risk of being unable to obtain adequate assurances as to appropriate utilization of cash transfers made to partners, and even to a risk of fraud and error. In order to strengthen UNICEF's risk management it is important to follow up on the recommendation of the BOA expeditiously. We are interested to hear what progress has been made in this respect.
Third and final: We would like to underline the concern that in some country offices the program budget has been used to cover operational expenditures not associated with specific programs and projects. This is a serious shortcoming and we hope that UNICEF has taken up this matter with the country offices concerned in the past year.
Thank you.

A press release reported that cliffs whose ledges are not used for nesting should reopen sometime in late April or early May; cliffs with nesting falcons however, will remain closed until the chicks have fledged, "usually in late July".
Southwest Wildlife Foundation founder, and bird expert, Martin Tyner said that in 1999 the peregrine falcon became the first bird of prey removed from the endangered species list. He said when they became listed in 1970 it was believed that only about 4-dozen peregrine falcons alive.
"There were more than that," Tyner said. "But that's what was believed."
He said that, because of captive breeding through a program called the peregrine fund more than 4000 peregrines have been bred in captivity, and released back into the wild. He said that captive breeding has made no difference on how the falcons behave in the wild.
The press release reported that the overuse of the insecticide DDT was a direct link to the decline of the peregrine falcon as a species. The chemical caused the production of thin-shelled eggs that were unable to support the developing embryo, and would easily break.
"The peregrines raised the alarm for the overuse of pesticides called DDT," Tyner said. "All of the birds of prey are on the top of the food chain, and since we are at the top of the food chain, what affects them affects us,
"The peregrine falcon, the bald eagle and the brown pelican that suffered from DDT, were the canaries in the coal mine for us," he added.
Tyner said that the reproduction aspect of the peregrine falcon isn't the only concern Zion park managers have. Another reason for the closures is the protective nature of the birds with newly hatched chick, he said they can become violently protective if they are worried that their babies might be in danger.
Southern Utah University adventure education coordinator Rob Myers is a climber who said that he has come into direct contact with wildlife more times that one while scaling the cliffs of Zion, but none of them were falcons.
"All of my experiences have been pleasant," he said. "Maybe I've come across a snake on the rock, or a startled mountain goat that didn't expect to see me, but none of them have ever tried to attack me, or made me feel unsafe."
Myers said he spends time climbing in Zion Canyon Nation Park, because the cliffs there are a traditional climbers dream.
"It's kind of one of those flagship areas to go and climb," he said.
Myers said climbers expect certain cliffs to close for periods-of-time annually. He said there are so many cliffs to climb in Southern Utah, that it hasn't ever presented any real problems for him.
He said that Zion National Park has always been good about making it known which areas are available, and which are unavailable to park visitors.
"They have always been very up front, with good signage everywhere, so you always know what's going on," he said.
There are 13 cliff routes that are closed to the climbers during the mating seasons: Angels Landing, Cable Mountain, The Sentinel, Mountain of the Sun, North Twin Brother, Tunnel Wall, The East Temple, Mount Spry, The Streaked Wall, Mount Kinesava, Middle Fork of Taylor Creek, The Great White Throne and Mt. Isaac.

As we reported a few weeks ago, Apple is planning to hold an event to unveil the next iPad early in March, at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.
Today, Apple sent out the usual press invitations for that event, which give us a date: March 7th.
The keen observer may notice that the image above shows someone using an iPad device with an extremely high quality display, which should put to rest any notion that the Retina display would be shelved this time around.

One went home on Tuesday's semifinal 'Voice' elimination.
Who still has a shot at becoming The Voice?
At the top of Tuesday's live results show, it was down to Team Blake Shelton's Scottish rocker Terry McDermott and rock/pop/country princess Cassadee Pope; and Team CeeLo Green's soul man Nicholas David and R&B crooner Trevin Hunte.
In a one-hour show, only one was sent home. Of course, between finalists and Voice alumni, there were plenty of performances to fill the time.
Terry and Cassadee opened the show with a duet, Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men. Terry got to show off his brogue and Cassadee her vibrato.
Season 2 finalist Juliet Simms of Team CeeLo premiered her single Wild Child. She was back with black hair, a black cape and her Janis Joplin-esque voice. Apparently she's "livin' it up," according to her song lyrics.
In a segment from host Carson Daly's show Last Call, the final four talked about their early experiences with music. Nicholas said he turned out the lights and wouldn't let his mom watch him sing at first. "It's like an early version of The Voice," joked Carson. Why does Trevin want to win? "I want to have a voice for those who don't have a voice," he said.
Then it was time for the first (surprising) round of callbacks. First through: Team Blake's Terry.
Season 2 spitfire RaeLynn debuted her new country single I Want Your Boyfriend. Coach Blake, whom she's been touring with, was supportive, wearing RaeLynn's signature oversized flower in his hair.
In this week's pretaped Voice confessional, the finalists and hosts talked about who would survive on a desert island. Consensus: Blake, though Terry would have no problem talking to himself for a while.
Another Season 2 finalist took the stage. This time it was opera singer Chris Mann of Team Christina singing his song Roads from his album of the same name. Fun fact: He also has a Christmas album out!
In the second round of callbacks, Team Blake's Cassadee made it, meaning only Team CeeLo's artists remained.
Season 2 finalist Tony Lucca had some face time with Christina Milian, representing Adam Levine's team. (Adam was looking very dapper, by the way!) Tony didn't, however, debut a song.
Next, it was time for CeeLo's finalists to duet. Trevin and Nicholas sang Mariah Carey's Hero. The song was clearly in balladeer Trevin's wheelhouse, but Nicholas had to sing most of the song way down low.
Finally, it was time to reveal the final singer to go into the finale. Coach CeeLo said, "I will be with the both of you from this day forth, so may the best man win."
The last finalist: Team CeeLo's Nicholas. Trevin was sent packing, but Nicholas, Cassadee and Terry will perform next Monday (8 ET/PT, NBC) for the win.

By GARY ARRINGTON
After you lose weight and become less fat, there are all sorts of questions that now have to be answered. And, as now I am learning, most of the answers cost money. New this, new that, nothing the same.
The first and biggest question that has to be answered is what do I wear. After having lost over 80 pounds, my wife said I could not wear the same clothes as before. She actually said something about not being seen with me in public without something different on my body. I started slowly.
Slowly was the way because you had to make yourself believe that this was not just a short trip back to fat. One has to make sure that there is a reasonable expectation of staying in the size that you are now wearing. And besides, one does become attached to one"s clothes, so you have to be in the proper mood to dispose of hundreds of dollars worth of clothing.
After two months of staying in the same size of pants, I finally went to the closet and started. I started slowly with church pants, went to my one pair of Levis and then really got brave and went for the shorts. Out they went, into the pile never to be worn by me again. The 42"s were gone and now I swear they will never be back.
Then I went for the shirts. Dress shirts that sort of looked like tents, collared shirts, tee shirts, Hawaiian shirts, sweaters that now drowned me. I got rid of a lot of clothes some that had actually never even been worn, they were gifts.
What I did not know and I bet you did not know either is that your feet and head actually get a little smaller when you weigh less.
The next problem is injuries. My brain, no jokes here cause I can see what you are thinking, realizes that I am skinnier but it still does not realize that I am not younger. Hence injuries because I try to do things that I could do twenty years ago.
I currently have two sprained ankles from basketball from landing on people"s feet Before I never left the ground so it was impossible to land on someone else"s foot. I have a sore back because I can now reach for things that I used to have to move for. It is the pits to be punished because you are now able to do that which before was only a dream.
And now I have one other complaint. Why do we say that we lost weight? I did not lose it; I struggled to make it go away. I have lost car keys, I have lost my wallet, I have lost my money but I have not lost weight. I worked really hard.
I sweated, I changed my eating habits, I worked at it with ample dedication so I now do not like to be asked about losing weight, I like to be asked about the new me and how it makes me feel and how good life is.
I like to talk about the healthy things I now know. I like to encourage others, that why I write about me. It can be done, I am proof and now I am going to prove that it can be more than a temporary thing, I am going for the long haul. I will not re-buy those other clothes.
I am now through with this saga for a while. I will re-visit this issue down the line in six or seven months to let you know that I am still good. If you would like this to be you then you just have to start and now is a good time. Good luck and stay strong.
