|Statement by Ambassador Wang Min, Deputy Permanent Representative of China to the U.N. at the Fifth Committee of the 67th Session of the UNGA on Agenda Item 134:Scale of Assessments for the Apportionment of the Expenses of the UN
Mr. Chairman,
The Chinese Delegation would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you and other members of the Bureau on your election. I believe your rich experience and outstanding abilities will provide effective guidance to the work of this committee.
The Chinese Delegation would like to thank Mr. Bernardo Greiver, Chairman of the Committee on Contributions for introducing the report of the 72nd Session of the committee. I also thank Mr. Lionel Berridge, chief of Contributions and Policy Coordination Service, for his introduction of the multi-year payment plans. After careful and meticulous consideration, the experts of the Committee on Contributions came up with the recommendation on the scale of assessments for the period 2013-2015, which provides a good basis for our consideration. China commends their work in this regard.
Mr. Chairman,
The Chinese Delegation notes that according to the report of the committee, quite a number of member states of the Group of 77 and some emerging economies, including China, may witness a big increase in their assessment rates in the coming three years. By sharp contrast, the assessment rates for developed countries will be reduced significantly across the board. In this context, the statement made by Algeria on behalf of the Group of 77 and China clearly manifested our sincere will to honor our solemn fiscal commitment to the U.N. and fully displayed our spirit of reason, pragmatism, consultation and cooperation. The Chinese Delegation endorses the statement by Algeria and wishes to make the following observations:
First, the scale of assessments of the U.N. must be formulated strictly in accordance with the principle of capacity to pay, which is a fundamental principle explicitly set out in the Rules of Procedure of the General Assembly ever since the inception of the U.N., and has all along been reaffirmed by relevant GA resolutions. The discussion of the scale of assessments in the Fifth Committee should follow the Rules of Procedure of the General Assembly and provisions of GA resolutions, and safeguard the authority and efficacy of such rules and resolutions. Proposals and ideas put forward by member states should also be in line with this principle.
Secondly, measurement of a country's capacity to pay requires a comprehensive and integrated perspective which takes into account both the gross national income and more importantly the per capita income of the country. While the former is the basis, it is the latter that is the decisive factor. Given the differences among countries in terms of size, development stage, level of economic development and wealth owned by nationals, it is only natural that different countries have different capacities to pay. With developing countries constrained by weak economic foundation and the onerous task of poverty eradication, it's fair to say that they are leagues behind developed countries in terms of overall living standards and quality of life of nationals. Ignoring per capita income and simply using gross national income to measure the actual capacity to pay of developing countries is partial and unfair.
Thirdly, the application of the principle of capacity-to-pay necessitates the consistent application of low per capita income adjustment to all qualified member states and the impermissibility of discriminatory practices. Universal application of "low per capita income adjustment" has invariably been the consistent practice in determining the assessment rates for member states since the very beginning. Adjustment threshold and per capita income remain the only criteria for determining whether a member state is qualified for "low per capita income adjustment", and no other factors should be included. It is the logical requirement and innate nature of "low per capita income adjustment" that the same adjustment rate be applied to all qualified member states. The existing formula of "low per capita income adjustment" has already solved the problem of granting different adjustments to countries with different levels of low per capita income. Such proposals as "multiple adjustment rates" or putting an artificial ceiling on adjustment are in essence subversion of the "low per capita income adjustment" element.
Fourthly, the scale methodology of the U.N. should remain relatively stable and avoid frequent and drastic adjustments. The current methodology is the result of long and hard negotiations and full consultations among all member states. It is a consensus based on the principle of capacity to pay that has taken into consideration various factors and accommodated positions of all sides. It works to ensure stability in the scale methodology and predictability of the assessment rates and reduce uncertainties to a minimum. As such, it is conducive to maintaining a stable and sound fiscal foundation for the U.N., and is of great importance to the normal functioning of the organization. Since 2001, the current methodology has been applied for four scale cycles, during which the global economy has undergone tremendous changes. Practice has shown that though it is not perfect, the current methodology can adequately reflect the evolvement of the economic situation of member states as well as the principle of capacity to pay. It therefore remains an effective methodology and is in the interest of the general membership.
Mr. Chairman,
As stated by the report of the Committee on Contributions, according to the current methodology, China's assessment rate may experience another significant increase in the coming three years, with the actual amount of increase one of the biggest among all member states. With the Chinese economy severely affected by the global financial crisis and the ensuing European debt crisis, such a big increase will undoubtedly constitute a heavy burden for China. Here I would like to emphasize that despite its relatively fast economic growth and significant total volume of economy, China remains a developing country. It has a huge population with a tremendous number of people living in poverty and its economic development is very uneven. These are indisputable facts of China's national situation. Evaluating China's capacity to pay should be done in an objective and reasonable way and should not be separated from China's national conditions and the overall international economic environment.
Mr. Chairman,
The item of the scale of assessments is one of the important tasks of the Fifth Committee during this session of the General Assembly. Past experience tells us that this is an arduous task, which can only be accomplished though full cooperation among member states. The Chinese delegation calls on all member states to participate constructively in the consideration and consultations in the spirit of reason, pragmatism, consultation and cooperation, so that we can further build and expand consensus based on the report of the Committee on Contributions and the considerations of the previous sessions of the General Assembly in order to reach consensus at an early date on the scale of assessments for the period 2013-2015.
Thank you Mr. Chairman.

Redmond is a bustling high-desert community. Although Oregon gained statehood 45 years earlier, it wasn't until 1904 that the first settlers Frank and Josephine Redmond established the first homestead of the area. With an irrigation system and electricity, the city developed quickly and was incorporated in 1910. The Oregon Trunk Railroad opened new markets for farmers, merchants and ranchers, fueling continued growth. During World War II, Redmond operated as a U.S. Air Force Base that later became the region's only commercial airline airport, Roberts Field.
Redmond is a fast-growing community that has maintained its pioneering spirit. The city radiates a welcoming attitude that preserves the small town appeal. Residents' kindness and unique hospitality invites visitors and neighbors to participate in local events and celebrations. Families are attracted to the area for the positive community atmosphere and warm weather. An increase in population and community-enhancing projects have recently drawn more business owners and entrepreneurs to the city. Surrounding communities include Powell Butte, Prineville, Culver and Madras.
Redmond provides a variety of single family residences. New construction developments offer modern living in a traditional neighborhood setting surrounded by views of the impressive Cascade Mountains. Residents seeking a more rural environment can choose from quaint farm and ranch-style homes boasting several acres of land. Open lots are also available for customized luxury homes with panoramic views.
Located in the heart of the Redmond is the popular historic downtown area. Hosting dozens of shops, patrons frequent nostalgic ice cream and candy stores as well as fine art galleries and specialty clothing boutiques. Best known for its antique shopping, Redmond dealers offer an eclectic selection of treasures from the past. The alluring Eagle Crest Resort is a full-service destination situated on 1,700 acres of pristine property. Visitors choose from a variety of activities including world-renowned golfing, relaxing spa treatments and family fun at the outdoor pool and spray park.
Redmond's mild climate and limited rainfall create a perfect environment for outdoor recreation. No experience is necessary to participate in a guided Wanderlust Outdoor Tour. Isolate yourself in an off-trail tour of the scenic Cascade Mountains and Deschutes National Forest, or relax with a moonlit canoe ride under a sky full of stars. For adventure seekers, try an exciting journey down the rushing Deschutes River or climb a 550-foot high cliff on one of several rock-climbing routes at Smith Rock State Park.
Private mortgage insurance is an insurance policy that a residential mortgage lender requires of the borrower if the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of the home is greater than 80%. Mortgage insurance protects the lender from the risk that the borrower may default on the loan. Federal law requires lenders to notify borrowers when the loan-to-value ratio drops below 80%. Mortgage insurance premiums vary, but generally range from $1,000 to $5,000 a year for an average priced home.

Facebook, the Birkenstocks of Social Networks, Is Suddenly Cool Again
Everything norm is new again. Birkenstocks, the bulky, utilitarian footwear that my mom refused to buy me from Quakerbridge Mall are suddenly chic—like a "Remember the 90's" just for your feet. And so, one survey says, is Facebook.
After being mocked at the tech campus cafeteria because teens didn't want to use it anymore, Facebook is once again popular with younger users. The Wall Street Journal reports:
Forrester Research asked 4,517 teenagers about their social media use, and Facebook came out ahead–by a lot.
Nearly half of the respondents, who were all between the ages of 12 and 17, said they were using Facebook more than they were a year ago, the firm said.
Forrester's researchers predict that increasing smartphone usage will help drive even more teenagers to use Facebook, whose mobile app is one of the most widely used in the world. "As today's 12- and 13-year-olds grow into 16- and 17-year-olds, it's likely their Facebook adoption will increase further," the researchers said.
The report contradicts previous studies about social network use among teens, but the Journal notes that the report was co-authored by a Forrester analyst who previously criticized Facebook's ability to target ads. But the paper hedges its bets about Facebook's future cachet:
If teens were using Facebook less, it wouldn't be surprising. A service that gets older inevitibly loses some of its early cachet. And there are hundreds of copycat services and mobile apps aiming for the teen audience.
On the other hand, Facebook is such a widely used tool that teenagers may face pressure to at least open accounts. Facebook hopes that as teenagers get older, they'll use the service simply because it's practical.
I mean it already knows your footprint, right?

Launching a website and blog that aims to be a one-stop guide for managing your social networking life (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare, etc..) with an emphasis on eliminating the unnecessary, hence the name eightysixer, which is from the term "86". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/86_(term)
Casual-to-advanced users of the large social media sites who want to know more about how to wisely and effectively use these sites in order to maximize their personal satisfaction for the time they invest. These website visitors will be mostly web-savvy and upscale.
Logo should be bold and bright, yet elegant, with a minimum of unnecessary features.
Take inspiration from other social media icons and logos, such as Twitter and LinkedIn.
Must be logo (image) AND typeface, not typeface only
Typeface should only say "eightysixer"
Prefer all lowercase letters, but will consider other variations of uppercase/lowercase
No numeric digits "86" anywhere in the logo, as I feel that will confuse people about the url, which is eightysixer.com, not 86er.com
Need high quality images in all major file formats

Soften the gelatin in the cold water for 5 minutes in a microwave-safe container. After 5 minutes, microwave on high for about 11 seconds. Check to see if the gelatin is fully dissolved. If not, microwave in 2 second bursts, stirring each time, until gelatin is dissolved but not hot. Or, you could warm the gelatin in a saucepan over very low heat just to dissolve. Set aside.
Place the cream and sugar into a food processor using the steel blade. Turn on and process until cream is softly whipped. This should take less than a minute. Alternatively, you could whip the cream with a mixer or whisk.
Add the sour cream, rose water, and the food coloring, if using, to the processor. Turn on and immediately begin to pour the prepared gelatin in a steady stream into the food processor. Blend for 3 seconds, open the processor lid, scrape the sides and process again for a few seconds more.
If you have used a mixer, whip in the sour cream, rose water and food coloring, if using, just to blend. Pour in the gelatin in a steady stream, whisking constantly.
Pour this cream into a glass or allow it to set up and scoop or pipe it. Serve with fresh strawberries or raspberries.
This rose cream is an element of our Rose City Waffle. We serve it on a fresh Oregon Hood strawberry-topped waffle with a sauce made from local rhubarb. It makes a lovely dessert piped or spooned into a martini glass with fresh strawberries or raspberries placed on top.
This recipe was provided by a chef, restaurant or culinary professional. It has not been tested for home use.

Not to be outdone by Samsung's Blue Earth and ZTE's Coral-200, LG recently unveiled its own solar-powered concept cell phone at the Wold Mobile Conference in Barcelona. The prototype, which features a solar-powered battery built right into the back cover, will be able to generate enough energy for 3 minutes worth of talk time for every 10 minutes of sun it soaks in. If left in natural light for longer periods of time, the battery will be able to power the phone for longer periods of time, eliminating or reducing the need for a conventional charger.
In terms of design, the LG handset seems to still be in its earliest stages (the mobile giant has yet to come up with a name for its eco-conscious creation). While Samsung has integrated green innovation into several aspects of the Blue Earth such as a CO2 emissions calculator and a body made out of recycled water bottles, LG has not released any details about the other specific sustainable features of their solar phone. However, as part of its "Life's Good When It's Green" initiative, the cutting-edge electronics company has announced its commitment to packaging its products in eco-friendly boxes printed with soy inks, using recycled paper and cardboard without laminate coating, and making its mobile handsets free of halogenated substances by removing Brominated flame retardants (BFR), chlorinated flame retardants (CFR) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) from the manufacturing process by 2010.
Want to safely use your solar-powered cell phone while driving in your Nissan Altima Hybrid? No worries. LG has also come up with the HFB-500 Bluetooth solar car kit which gives customers hands-free mobile use in a fully rechargeable solar unit.

126677N100013 MUST be a pilot car. I don't think (but I could be wrong. I often am!!) Chevrolet would have built a "production" car in May of 1966. During that time, Norwood was still building full size cars and Novas.126677N100031 could possibly be the first "production" convertible, but we don't have too many cars before that in the db.
How would they run a completely different body style down a line building Caprices, and Chevy II's. None of the fixtures for welding would have fit. Note the picture of the guy working on the engine above, the car has no roof panel installed, so maybe they did what they could and finished it off line later (or that's just a GM publicity photo not even taken at the assembly plant)?

Both Mary and I are road-tripping this week. Sadly, I am going to Austin just when she's headed out of town. My brother is moving into a co-op down there, and Kyle and I are helping him drive down. Then, we're tacking a few extra days onto our stay, so I'll get to enjoy Mary's new-to-her leather sofa.
Here are some of my new and new-ish accessories that are making the journey with me!
I bought this Olsenboye Foldover Tote at jcpenney for only $14 on Saturday. I've been wanting a new purse for a while, and I had so much trouble finding one I really liked. Everything was too expensive, too big and unstructured, or too small. This one is definitely on the huge side, but since it folds over and has a bit of structure to it, it's not so bad. I bought this particular style because it was the one on sale, but it's really grown on me. I think I'd like some of the brighter patterns they have for $35, but this matches almost everything.
These bright blue skinnies are the $340 J Brand Midrise Skinny Bright Royal from MRS H version of the $4 Gordman's clearance bright blue skinnies I bought on Friday. They also had orange/coral, mint, and yellow on clearance but for $20. And $16 dollars worth of difference made blue my number one choice. I love them! I wore them Friday night and Saturday and Sunday when I went to my parents to deliver the cat before the road trip. They're currently in the washing machine so they'll be ready for another wear this week!
Finally, my favorite little iPod Nano. I bought this over memorial day so I could add music to my elliptical workouts (and maybe eventually start running outside if it ever cools down). I've loaded it with an audio book, so that if my passenger wants to sleep on the way down or back, I have something to keep my mind active and awake.
I started The Beginning of Infinity: Explanations That Transform the World by David Deutsch on a drive last week, and I think I'll really like it. Hopefully it does it's job. I'll be driving a rental van and Kyle will be driving my parents Highlander, so we'll either have my brother or his girlfriend as a passenger… I'm sure they'll be tired from moving and going away parties.

Video: Awkward Gay Kissing Vlogger Asks Guys: "Do You Think I'm Gay?"
"Awkward Gay Kissing" vlogger Mark Miller already made the rounds with the women and proved that their gaydar is way off, so now he's asking the boys!
Surprised by their guesses, Instincters?
Image Source
As a gay man, I've had more than a few women and men not even believe me when I tell them I'm gay. Some of them think I'm joking at first. As one of the guys in the video says "dressing a certain way doesn't make you gay".. he is partially right.
Nothing makes you 'gay' except, actually being gay. There are no gay shirts, or pants, or belts. Maybe if you put them all together you may appear fashionable, which can be misconstrued as gay.
And the objective of producing this video is??? This experiment proofs absolutely nothing that being gay in the 22nd century is not a problem. There are many facts within the scenario just watched which are off in many ways. The fact is that more young people are coming out as being gay/lesbian. However, there is also an increase in the number of suicide attempts and bullying incidents occurring. One fact that is clear within this video is that the more macho/jock you are the easier it can be to come out. Indicating that flamboyant guys and macho girls have a much harder path of being excepted for their sexuality preference.

Stellar Latos helps Reds stave off D-backs
CINCINNATI -- The pressure was on for Reds starter Mat Latos on Thursday at Great American Ball Park.
With a bullpen that lost Jonathan Broxton to an injury the night before and had been extended all week, Latos entered his 26th start of the season knowing his team needed him to produce a long outing against the D-backs in the finale of an important series in the National League playoff picture.View Full Game Coverage
CINCINNATI -- The pressure was on for Reds starter Mat Latos on Thursday at Great American Ball Park.
With a bullpen that lost Jonathan Broxton to an injury the night before and had been extended all week, Latos entered his 26th start of the season knowing his team needed him to produce a long outing against the D-backs in the finale of an important series in the National League playoff picture.View Full Game Coverage
Then he started vomiting.
In between getting sick, though, all Latos did was toss eight innings of five-hit, one-run ball, save the bullpen and pick up a 2-1 win, as Cincinnati took three of four from Arizona to extend its lead over the D-backs to seven games for the second NL Wild Card spot.
"Latos gave us everything we wanted," manager Dusty Baker said. "He was sick, he was down vomiting underneath. I told him to drink some water, and he told me he couldn't hold it. So I said, 'Hey, man. This is what champions are made of.'
"Sometimes Latos in the past was having trouble staying in those games, but he's growing before our eyes, and he did what aces do."
Latos, who went seven innings or more for the fourth straight outing, said he ate something Thursday morning that didn't sit right. As a result, he got sick before he started warming up, after the first inning and again before he took the mound for the fifth.
Baker didn't know Latos was under the weather until a security guard let him know during the game. Regardless, the Reds skipper couldn't afford to give the 25-year-old right-hander a break with just three relievers available in the bullpen.
"Wipe it off and get back to work," Baker told Latos.
So Latos did just that.
After allowing just one baserunner in the first three innings on a hit-by-pitch in the second at-bat of the game, Latos' early no-hit bid was broken up in the fourth inning by a leadoff single from Adam Eaton, who later tied the game when Aaron Hill's ground ball to third was too hot to handle for Todd Frazier.
It took Latos just six pitches to breeze through a 1-2-3 fifth, and although he gave up two singles in the sixth, he escaped before registering perfect seventh and eighth innings to end his day. He threw 102 pitches, 72 of which went for strikes, and didn't walk a batter while striking out six.
"I didn't necessarily have my best stuff today," Latos said. "My fastball was well below what I've normally been throwing. I was able to locate the ball down. [Catcher Devin] Mesoraco was always good today, emphasizing every inning -- 'Keep the ball down, keep the ball down, keep the ball down. We'll work on it and get ground-ball outs.' I didn't necessarily strike a lot of people out, but I was able to get outs on my own -- strikeouts -- when I needed it."
Despite Latos' gutsy effort, he left the game after the top of the eighth with the Reds stuck in a 1-1 tie. Thanks to some good fortune and mistakes by the D-backs, he walked out of the park with his 13th win of the year.
Shin-Soo Choo led off the eighth with a single, advanced to second on a poor pickoff throw from reliever Eury De La Rosa and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt from Frazier. He then scored the go-ahead run when Arizona's fourth wild pitch of the day skipped past catcher Wil Nieves.
The first three wild pitches came from starter Trevor Cahill -- who threw just 50 of his 97 offerings for strikes -- in the third inning, when the Reds scored their only other run of the day.
"The whole game, we gave them two runs on four wild pitches and an error," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "We gave them five bases there."
With closer Aroldis Chapman among the Cincinnati relievers unavailable, Baker made the decision to give the ball to right-hander Sam LeCure for the ninth inning. LeCure, who said he was thankful for the opportunity, made sure it was the right choice by working around two singles for the first save of his career.
"I was trying to get myself to not think about it and just say, 'Hey man, it's three outs,'" said LeCure, who deflected the credit for the win to Latos. "I always thought one day I might have the opportunity to save a game, not necessarily be a closer. You try to prepare yourself the best you can, say, 'This is three outs, go out there, attack the strike zone and do what you've done in the eighth, seventh, sixth, third,' in my case."
Cincinnati, which was led by Choo's two singles, has won four of the last five after losing two in a row to the Brewers last weekend. As the Reds chase the first-place Pirates and second-place Cardinals in the National League Central, they prevented the D-backs from gaining any ground in the race for the second NL Wild Card spot.
"This was a huge series for us," LeCure said. "All of these games are super important. That's a real good ballclub. They fought big time. I think, honestly, it inspired me a little bit. I felt like last night they were playing like this was Game 162, and if they won it, they got in the playoffs. They really grind out some at-bats and don't go outside of their zone too much. That's a testament to the type of baseball that we can play, to go out and beat a team like that."

As elected officials in the Columbia River Gorge, we are frequently asked to weigh in on projects that affect our local quality of life. Few, however, present such potentially adverse economic and environmental effects as the continuing expansion of coal shipments.
Only a few trains currently transport coal through the Gorge, and already we're seeing the damage caused by coal dust on our landscape and in our waterways. Now we face a new threat: the prospect of coal shipments by barge for export to Asia through Ambre Energy's Morrow Pacific project.
This project would nearly double current barge traffic in the Gorge, harming river recreation, increasing risks to salmon populations and representing a significant safety threat from barge crashes or fires. Six city and community councils in the National Scenic Area have passed resolutions expressing their concerns regarding coal exports or calling for additional study, including our own cities of Hood River, Mosier and The Dalles.
Determining whether or not to issue a permit for a project of this magnitude takes careful consideration, and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality should not rush to a decision on the issuance of an air permit for the Morrow Pacific project. To do so would be irresponsible, since an environmental impact statement has yet to be announced and the public has not been given the opportunity to have its concerns studied.
Ambre Energy recently has pushed premature permitting demands on Oregon state agencies. The company originally balked at the Department of State Lands' requests for more information about the potential effects of the coal terminal before issuing a dredging permit for the project. It wasn't until just before the permit application was set to expire on April 1 that the company changed its tone and agreed to a five-month extension for the Morrow Pacific project's permit application.
We applaud the state for requiring additional information and studies on this proposal, and we are relieved that Ambre Energy is being forced to provide this information about the effects of its projects on aquatic life and habitat in the Columbia River, tribal fishing treaty rights and cultural resources. However, we are deeply troubled by this company's reluctance to provide essential details on the true scope and impact of its proposed terminal.
We call upon the federal government to establish a national energy policy that will preclude the export of American coal to distant lands, where it fuels industries that compete for American jobs.
Exporting coal not only harms our environment, but it harms our national and local economies as well. We urge Oregon officials to protect special places like the Columbia River Gorge by denying statewide permits for coal export terminals.

South African Mine Closures Hit Public Services
For years, South African authorities have required global miners operating in the country to help prop up public services. But a shakeup in the sector is leaving local communities facing a double hit of fewer jobs and services. Dow Jones's Devon Maylie reports. Photo: Getty Images

Welcome! I'm Teresa . . . the hen in Hen in a Farmhouse Nest.
I'm a Canadian living in the United States who wishes she lived in England. I inhabit a wonky farmhouse with my husband, Brian, our dogs and parrots and a miniature pig. We also care for alpacas, ducks, chickens, a pair of geese, rabbits, goats, and a couple of barn cats.
Jane Austin once wrote, "There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort". I have to agree. While I often daydream of visiting far off places, my heart longs to be at home. Whether I'm inside or outside, I can find plenty to keep me busy and content. I enjoy decorating, renovating (as time and budget allow), gardening, reading, creating, and blogging.
I hope to inspire you with simple farm living as we renovate and decorate our wonky farmhouse; with recipes and projects, and thrift store finds.
So, come on up on my front porch and make yourself comfortable as I offer you a cup of tea and some of Brian's homemade chocolate chip cookies and let's chat for awhile.

Each of the following gestures can have a very different meaning in other cultures:
Beckon with index finger. This means "Come here" in the U.S. To motion with to someone to come with your index finger can be insulting in many cultures. Expect a reaction when you beckon to a student from the Middle or Far East; Portugal, Spain, Latin America, Japan, Indonesia and Hong Kong. It is more acceptable to beckon with the palm down, with fingers or whole hand waving.
Make a "V" sign. T his means "Victory" in most of Europe when you make this sign with your palm facing away from you. If you face your palm in, the same gesture means "Shove it." Very few gestures are universally understood and interpreted. What is perfectly acceptable in the United States may be rude, or even obscene, in other cultures.
Smile. This gesture is universally understood. However, it various cultures there are different reasons for smiling. The Japanese may smile when they are confused or angry. In other parts of Asia, people may smile when they are embarrassed. People in other cultures may not smile at everyone to indicate a friendly greeting as we do in the United States. A smile may be reserved for friends. It is important not to judge students or their parents because they do not smile, or smile at what we would consider "inappropriate" times.
Sit with soles shoes showing. In many cultures this sends a rude message. In Thailand, Japan and France as well as countries of the Middle and Near East showing the soles of the feet demonstrates disrespect. You are exposing the lowest and dirtiest part of your body so this is insulting.
Form a circle with fingers to indicate "O.K." Although this gestures means "O.K." in the U.S. and in many countries around the world, there are some notable exceptions:
- In Brazil and Germany, this gesture is obscene.
- In Japan, this means money.
- In France, it has the additional meaning of "zero" or "worthless."
Pass an item to someone with one hand. - In Japan this is very rude. Even a very small item such as a pencil must be passed with two hands. In many Middle and Far Eastern countries it is rude to pass something with your left hand which is considered "unclean."
Wave hand with the palm facing outward to greet someone. In Europe, waving the hand back and forth can mean "No." To wave "good-bye," raise the palm outward and wag the fingers in unison.
Nod head up and down to say Yes. In Bulgaria and Greece, nodding your head up and down means "No."

Bright & Blissful!
Good morning, loves! Happy Wednesday to you all!
After a few gloomy, rainy days I'm craving some sunshine. Badly! Isn't it funny how you can become sun deprived so quickly? Wishing that I could have a day like this today. Since that's not in the cards I'll visualize it instead.
Sending lots of sunshine your way!

The University of North Carolina's win over Virginia Tech earlier this month at Charlotte Bobcats Arena had a storybook ending, but it was not even the highlight of the day for fans of the basketball powerhouse.
Sure, consensus national player of the year and Tar Heels star Tyler Hansbrough hit the game-winner with 0.8 seconds left, slicing through three players along the baseline to grab a rebound. And, yes, the win propelled North Carolina into the Atlantic Coast Conference finals a day later, where a win over Clemson gave the school a record 17th tournament championship in the 56-year-old event.
Nice as all of that was, the real treat for Tar Heel Nation came two hours later, when bitter rival Duke University and coach Mike Krzyzewski suffered a loss to Clemson in the tournament's other semifinal game.
Duke and its fans took another hit last Saturday when West Virginia bounced them out of the NCAA tournament in a 73-67 upset.
Some of the state's ardent hoops fans might have been salivating at the prospect – however remote – of a Duke-North Carolina meeting in the tourney's final April 8. The storied rivalry between the two campuses has tilted toward the Tar Heels. For now.
What endures beneath the Carolina sun, undiminished by the vagaries of any one season, is the basketball passion that rules Tobacco Road through every winter and spring.
Chapel Hill, home of the Tar Heels, and Duke's Durham campus are eight miles apart, but their men's basketball teams are closer than that, as evidenced by both schools spending much of the season ranked among the nation's Top 5. When the NCAA Tournament started last week, North Carolina, now led by Smith disciple Roy Williams, carried a No. 1 seed while Duke's Blue Devils entered at No. 2.
Coach Dean Smith established North Carolina as a national power during a 36-year tenure that included 879 wins, 11 trips to the Final Four, and two national championships. He retired in 1997.
Duke rang up intermittent success in the 1960s and 1970s, but became a true power only after Krzyzewski's arrival in 1980. His résumé includes 10 Final Four berths and three national titles. At his current pace, Krzyzewski, known as Coach K, will pass Bobby Knight, his coaching mentor, as the game's all-time-wins leader during the 2011-12 season.
"It's an unbelievable rivalry," says Bobby Cremins, a former Atlantic Coast Conference rival of both schools during his years coaching Georgia Tech. "When I was coaching, there was one game I never missed: Duke-North Carolina. If I was out recruiting, I'd make my wife tape it."
The roll call of college basketball royalty runs through both schools. Tar Heel hoops legends include Michael Jordan, James Worthy, Phil Ford, Brad Daugherty, and Bob McAdoo. Duke counters with March Madness luminaries such as Bobby Hurley, Grant Hill, Shane Battier, Christian Laettner, and Danny Ferry.
Duke's success under Coach K has created a backlash. Even beyond North Carolina, many basketball fans take a delighted glee in the Blue Devils' rare setbacks, railing against Krzyzewski's role as a ubiquitous TV pitchman as well as Duke's reputation for turning out cocky players such as Laettner, J.J. Redick, and Greg Paulus.
The differences between the two universities enhance the rivalry all the more. North Carolina ranks as one of the nation's oldest schools and boasts academic renown among public universities. The Chapel Hill campus has long been known for turning out top business and political leaders for the state.
At Duke, a much higher population of out-of-state students can be found at the pricey private school. It was founded by Quakers and Methodists and landed crucial financial support from tobacco baron James Buchanan Duke during the 1920s.
"It's a rivalry about basketball, but it's also a rivalry between universities that represent two different ways of being in the world," says Will Blythe, a North Carolina alum and author of (take a deep breath) "To Hate Like This Is To be Happy Forever: A Thoroughly Obsessive, Intermittently Uplifting, and Occasionally Unbiased Account of the Duke-North Carolina Basketball Rivalry." "You have the dynamic of locals versus outsiders. Duke students tend to be from out of state and after they finish school they go back to New York or Chicago or Los Angeles. It's almost like their four years are time in the Colonies."
By contrast, Mr. Blythe says, North Carolina's graduates stick around, fanning out across the state to take care of a place that they love.
Not that he's biased or anything.
That Blythe lives in New York rather than North Carolina does nothing to disrupt what he wryly admits is a skewed obsession that shows no signs of abating.
His parallel contemporary, Herb Neubauer, a retired 66-year-old Duke alum known as "Crazy Towel Guy," displays an equally engaging lack of perspective. Mr. Neubauer, who has attended all of Duke's 14 Final Four appearances, stirs the frenzied crowds at home games by waving a towel at the student section.
He salutes Krzyzewski as a community asset and, after professing his bafflement at what usefulness Chapel Hill could have for anyone, blithely dismisses North Carolina's merits as an academic rival.
"Education-wise, I don't think there's any doubt that they can't come close to matching up in terms of academics standards," Neubauer says. "Duke is just so much more selective."
The schools may be nearby each other, but the perspectives on each side remain galaxies away. Welcome to an eternal argument that can only be decided – ever so temporarily – by NCAA tournament brackets.

The Richard Krajicek Foundation seeks to provide children with a place to play and learn in their own neighborhoods. To encourage this, each year, the Foundation hosts a competition to reward innovative ideas and allow them to come to life. This year, the second place award was given to BOARD for their Recycled Apartment playground. The Recycled Apartment concept encourages local apartment dwellers to donate items that can be reused inside the park to create a truly local playground experience.
The Foundation encourages designers to incorporate the surrounding architecture in their design, and BOARD took this concept to a whole new level, using the floor plan from a local apartment, enlarged, to create the footprint for the park. This was done to encourage people living nearby to develop a sense of investment in the park.
After creating the footprint, BOARD decided to make the focus of their park sustainability. By re-using discarded items from the local neighborhood, such as tiles, coins, bottles, phones and clothes, the recycled park could be a sustainable part of the community. According to BOARD, not only does the concept save energy in terms sustainability, but it generates a different kind of energy entirely, namely, "the energy that the adults and children are willing to put into the activities, the sports, and the maintenance of the playground that is built with their own materials, given form by one of their apartments."
First place prize went to a concept dubbed "In the Wild," created by dmau and Openfabric, whose concept included a park that juxtaposed both the urban and the wild by placing structured play areas on the outside of the park and a wild, natural area in the center.

From Imperial Wiki
- Be sure to review the wiki policies before making changes or contributions.
- If you're unsure where to start helping, check out the community portal to see what we need help with.
Introduction to WikiCode
While most of the formatting functions can be accessed through the buttons above each text window, it can be helpful to know the exact codes required.
- Linking directly to other articles (Wikifying): [[Article name]], or to dress, [[Article name|Text that appears in article]]
- Italics: ''Text''
- Bolding: '''Text'''
- Bolded Italic: '''''Text'''''
- "Dressing" wiki-entries [[Article|Displayed Text]]
- Linking to external website: [www.website.com], or to dress, [www.website.com|Text that appears in article]
- Redirecting: #REDIRECT [[Target article]] (should be the only thing in the article)
- Inserting into categories: [[Category:Target category]] at the bottom of the article - The software should automatically put them in alphabetical order, but if it starts with "The," use [[Category:Target category|Article name, The]]
- Signing comments: --~~~~ (Usually only done on talk pages)
- Headers: ==Section title== (Please do not use a single equals sign (=header=) for a section)
- Sub-Headers: ===Sub-section title===
- Bullet points: * Text
- Inset bullet point: ** Text (You can inset further with more asterisk's, but you really shouldn't)
- Numbered lists: # Entry
- To add a reference when citing sources, add <ref>source</ref>. At the bottom of the article, add <references/> (if it doesn't already exist) to create a footnote section to "catch" the references.
To upload images, do so from the "Upload file" link on the left. Then, to put them in the article, you can do the following:
- Directly inserting: [[Image:Picture.jpg]] (Not recommended)
- Inserting as a thumbnail: [[Image:Picture.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Text that appears below the picture]] (You can choose whatever width you want in place of the "200px" part, but 200 pixels seems to be about right for most displays. You can also change it to the right hand of the article by putting "right" in place of the "left")
Other operations
- Moving a page: Click on the "Move" tab at the top (second from the right), and follow the instructions on the next page. Should only really be done under one of the following circumstances:
- The article's title is misspelled
- The title is a really poor and non-descriptive or misleading one
- Agreement from other users
- Reverting vandalism: Click on the "History" tab at the top (third from the right), then click on the date and time of the last good version. Once you've found it, click edit, don't make any changes to the text in the boxes (except maybe a note in the summary box that you're reverting a vandal) and click save.
- Minor edits: As a rule, tick the box reading "This is a minor edit" when you're fixing spelling, grammar, code or formatting, and leave it unchecked if you're making any serious changes to the content.
Formatting tips
- Bold the title of the article, at or near the start of it.
- Normal headers are usually all that's needed - sub-headers are usually only necessary for longer articles
- Don't go crazy Wikifying stuff - make links to important articles that might be needed, but don't make links to absolutely everything that might someday have an article, as loads of red links just look ugly.
- Try and write as if you were doing an essay - use paragraphs, avoid run-on sentences, that sort of thing.
- While inset bullet points have their uses, avoid insetting more than once. It's messy, and usually unnecessary.
- When putting a new image in an article, make sure you preview it first - a poorly placed picture can absolutely destroy the formatting of an article. Usually swapping it over to the other side of the screen or putting it a bit higher up solves any problems.
- Main "article": Referencing

Picture this: You're at the airport, all of the outlets are taken and your smartphone battery is about to die. Or, you're sitting at the beach relaxing and you get a few important emails, but the sunlight's glare makes it impossible to read them. Or, you're relaxing in a lounge chair at your hotel and realize you forgot your headphones.
Well, #TeamBlackBerry, if you have been in any of these situations, we have you covered. After speaking with a few of my friends and colleagues, here are my top BlackBerry® accessory recommendations for summer travel:
Extra Batteries
When you're out and about at an airport, an amusement park or a beach, the last thing you need is a drained battery – especially when you aren't close to an electrical outlet. Something I like to have at the ready is an extra battery or two when I know I'll be away from a power outlet for the majority of the day. You can find extra batteries and external chargers for your BlackBerry® 7 OS devices (and others as well) on Shop BlackBerry, so be sure to grab a few before you head out this summer.
Anti-Glare Film
As summer heats up, many of us spend more time outside. Since BlackBerry people are doers, we know how important it is to be able to stay on top of incoming messages and keep in touch with the important people in our lives. To protect your screen against the sun's glare and make sure you'll still be able to see everything on your screen, check out this anti-glare film you can easily apply to your screen. Plus, your device's touch screen will still be fully functional, so you'll have the best of both worlds.
Premium Stereo Headset
If you're looking for headphones that can multitask as much as you can, we have the a great option for you. Our Premium Stereo Headset not only gives you quality audio and sound isolation so you can hear your music clearly, but it also includes a microphone so you can hop on the phone and chat, too. What's even cooler is it has a single button to easily navigate between calls and music – perfect for when you're lounging on the beach and want to keep things simple. While you're at it, be sure to give BBM™ Music a whirl and make a few summer playlists!
These accessories are our favorites, but we want to hear from you: what is your favorite BlackBerry accessory that you never leave home without?

Inside That 'Game of Thrones' College Course at UVA
University of Virginia rising senior Thomas O'Neil first heard that his school was offering a "Game of Thrones" course this past spring. "I immediately signed up," he told Speakeasy in an interview. "I don't even think it was a two-second delay between me finding it and going online and registering for the class."
The 24-student class ran for four weeks this summer, covering George R.R. Martin's first book in "A Song of Ice and Fire" as well as three seasons of the HBO television show. Professor Lisa Woolfork, who has taught at the university for 14 years, said she first came up with the idea last summer.
"These books have been out since the 1990s, and it wasn't until HBO was able to bring it into the mainstream that we get to bridge the narrative connections of the story to what the series itself is doing," she told Speakeasy. "I feel like fan culture is a vibrant and important part of the 'Game of Thrones.'"

It's kind of like a modern-day version of that old folk tale where the steel driver takes on the locomotive. Except, when you think about it, not really at all.
Who comes out on top? I won't ruin it for you, but it's a close one. I'd really like to see their full laps side-by-side at some point. Let's hope Ford hooks us up.
