The Universal Periodic Review "has great potential to promote and protect human rights in the darkest corners of the world." – Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary-General
The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a unique process which involves a review of the human rights records of all UN Member States. The UPR is a State-driven process, under the auspices of the Human Rights Council, which provides the opportunity for each State to declare what actions they have taken to improve the human rights situations in their countries and to fulfil their human rights obligations. As one of the main features of the Council, the UPR is designed to ensure equal treatment for every country when their human rights situations are assessed.
The UPR was created through the UN General Assembly on 15 March 2006 by resolution 60/251, which established the Human Rights Council itself. It is a cooperative process which, by October 2011, has reviewed the human rights records of all 193 UN Member States. Currently, no other universal mechanism of this kind exists. The UPR is one of the key elements of the Council which reminds States of their responsibility to fully respect and implement all human rights and fundamental freedoms. The ultimate aim of this mechanism is to improve the human rights situation in all countries and address human rights violations wherever they occur.

So You Want to do Business in New York
Not going to pull the entire post as you should go read it on AV but is a perfect example of why small businesses do not like existing in NYS.But the shakedown began when, halfway through the project, a guy from the carpenters union showed up. It was a small job, and he was told, no thanks. Two days later, there was an OSHA guy camped out across the street with a telephoto lens. A few weeks later, a guy from the electrical union showed up. They were also told, no thanks. Two days later, an inspector from the state Department of Labor was on site, demanding to see the contracts to determine whether prevailing wages were being paid.
Im generally pro-union, and I respect the notion of collective bargaining to ensure that workers who choose to unionize are treated fairly. But that should apply to big business, or public works. Ultimately its the workers choice whether to work for a union shop or not, and small businesses renovating a non-chain restaurant should, frankly, be left alone, much less harassed. And why is it that state and federal inspectors are seemingly acting in concert one could even say on behalf of the union?
Even better is the first comment from Colin Eager who is a resident fool over at WNYMEDIA. Asked the simple question of:
So, why exactly was this relatively small venture targeted?
His reply was:
It's being targeted because it's using non-union labor. Good.

Dialysis is the only program under Medicare to be covered regardless of the patient's age. Because someone with kidney failure cannot survive without either a kidney transplant or dialysis (in-center hemodialysis or a home therapy), in 1972 Congress made sure that almost all Americans who require this therapy are able to receive it.
As a dialysis provider, we care for our patients like they are family. We are concerned for their well-being and they are concerned for ours. Already, we receive a remarkably small "bundled" payment for all of the care we provide. If Medicare cuts to dialysis happen, continuing our good work might be impossible.
Everyone will suffer if these cuts occur. Dialysis centers — which are important businesses in the local community — will close. Patients could be forced to travel long distances for care and will be forced to make difficult decisions about what to do.
I hope our elected officials take this issue seriously and safeguard dialysis care from cuts.

Roast the pork for 30 minutes.
Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and continue to roast until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit when inserted into the thickest part of the pork. Total roasting time will be approximately 5 to 5 1/2 hours.
Remove from oven and let it stand at room temperature 20 to 30 minutes, covered loosely with foil, before cutting it in slices.
Chipotle Cranberry Compote:
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar

As interim dean of the School of Education at the University of South Carolina Upstate, I welcome your interest in teaching as a career. My career in education began over thirty years ago as a ninth grade English teacher. Teaching is what I always wanted to do. Despite the ostensibly helpful advice I received from others to consider other career options, I never waivered in my commitment to teaching and I have never regretted my decision. It has always been clear to me that the future of our nation is shaped by public school teachers. The experiences students have under the guidance of a skilled teacher provide them with the vital information and hone the necessary skills and dispositions needed for productive community involvement and participation in our democracy.
The mission of the School of Education is to prepare teachers for this exacting challenge. We offer high quality, comprehensive undergraduate and graduate programs for the preparation of teachers and the development of school leaders. Our teacher preparation programs have been recognized as among the strongest in the nation. They are accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and approved by the South Carolina Department of Education. Accreditation and program approval provide the following assurances to the public: 1. USC Upstate teacher preparation programs meet national standards of quality and excellence; 2. our programs insure that children and young adults are served by well-prepared teachers; and 3. our programs advance the teaching profession through assessment and continuous improvement initiatives. A distinguishing feature of the School of Education is that we constantly challenge teacher candidates to reconcile educational theory and classroom-based practice and to understand and master the content knowledge, interpersonal skills, and analytical skills necessary to be effective teachers and school leaders. Accordingly, our teacher preparation programs include a range of diverse field-based clinical experiences in public schools and other educational agencies. The teacher preparation programs at USC Upstate are rigorous, as they should be. Teaching is important work, requiring deep knowledge, sharpened skills, and an appropriate frame of mind to do well. Rest assured that all of us at USC Upstate are ready to help you achieve your career goals. Welcome to campus and welcome to the School of Education!

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 |Indians right-hander Trevor Bauer's baseball history is a fascinating story of outstanding pitching highlights, unconventional training techniques, personal conviction, endless commentary and differing opinions.
Austin Wilson, the 6-foot-5, 245-pound Stanford junior and likely first-round pick, will find out what his next step will be at the 2013 First-Year Player Draft, to be held June 6-8.
A star-studded cast of accomplished baseball legends will be on hand for the first day of the First-Year Player Draft on June 6, as the league welcomes its next crop of top prospects.
There is some serious talent among the outfielders available in next month's First-Year Player Draft, with perhaps as many as seven, from both high schools and colleges, who are candidates to go in the first round. But some have a long way to go in their development.
A's top prospect Addison Russell struggled at the start of the 2013 season, but he has recently turned the corner offensively at Class A Advanced Stockton.
Triple-A Lehigh Valley right-hander Adam Morgan had been scheduled to pitch Tuesday, but the Phillies said he has been scratched because of a shoulder issue. The club offered no further details. Morgan is considered one of the organization's top prospects, but is 1-4 with a 4.97 ERA in eight starts.
Jurickson Profar, MLB.com's top-rated prospect, was in the Rangers lineup at second base on Monday, one day after being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock.
It took a while, 50 games to be exact, but the Blue Jays and Marcus Stroman are both extremely happy the former first-round Draft pick is back pitching again.
Slowly but surely, things have begun to turn around under the guidance of general manager Neal Huntington, and the Pirates' farm system is now ranked seventh in baseball.
Heading into the spring, college pitching seemed to be a big strength in this year's Draft, and while any one of five hurlers could reasonably be taken in the top 10 picks, there have been more question marks surrounding the pitchers after Mark Appel and Jonathan Gray.
Braden Shipley had no business being a top prospect in next month's First-Year Player Draft, left alone being a potential top-10 pick. After all, the 21-year-old right-hander didn't pitch until his junior year of high school and he started his college career at Nevada as a shortstop. Yet here he is, one of the top college pitchers in the country.
With emerging stars such as Jurickson Profar, Andrelton Simmons and Didi Gregorius calling Curacao home, the small island in the Caribbean Sea is quickly becoming the newest baseball hotbed.
Jurickson Profar, baseball's top prospect, is back in the big leagues. On Sunday, the Rangers placed Ian Kinsler, their leadoff man and most consistent hitter, on the disabled list retroactive to Friday with a strained rib muscle in his right side and recalled Profar, MLB.com's No. 1 overall prospect.
Astros owner Jim Crane and general manager Jeff Luhnow attended Saturday's and Sunday's games against the Pirates at PNC Park in a surprise trip that came about after both men scouted the University of North Carolina's game against Virginia in Chapel Hill, N.C., earlier Saturday.
Jake Odorizzi joined the Rays on Sunday as the guy the Rays have tabbed to try and fill injured David Price's shoes, and the plan is to wait until the end of Sunday's game to activate the young right-hander.
Astros top prospect Jonathan Singleton, who is nearing the end of his 50-game suspension after violating the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program for a drug of abuse -- his second positive test -- will begin his season sometime next week at Class A Quad Cities before moving to Triple-A Oklahoma City, general manager Jeff Luhnow said Sunday.
In speaking with the media on Sunday, Ross Atkins raved about shortstop prospect Francisco Lindor.
Royals Minor League report: May 18
Jake Odorizzi will be called up from Triple-A Durham on Sunday, and he has been announced as the starter for the Rays' Monday afternoon contest in Toronto.
The Astros will hold the first of four regional workouts of high school and college players on Sunday in anticipation of next month's First-Year Player Draft. Sunday's workout will be held in the Los Angeles area, with about 20 prospects invited to attend.

These happy little darts of color are flitting everywhere in my garden right now. They are smaller than their Great Spangled cousins but every bit as bright. ve | |||
one more | ||||
Vera, So glad you posted those. Haven't seen a whole heck of a lot of butterflies this year. And right now we're going thru a rainy period so they are all hiding or have gone down south since it's a little chilly up here. | ||||
We are wrapped up with fritillaries and some monarch these days. Lots of sulphurs, too. www.floridafarmgirlsworld.blogspot.com Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain. | ||||
Me too! I must have had near 100 butterflies go thru the yard today. They all seemed on a mission generally headed in a SE direction. Only one was a Monarch for sure. "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
Wish more people shared their beautiful pics! Lovely~~~~~~! "Those that throw mud, lose ground!" :>) | ||||
very beautiful. i'm happy you got to see these in your yarden. | ||||
Oh how lovely! I just adore orange! | ||||
Thanks Girls - yes, the flutterbys are everywhere right now. Must be the last Hurrah! I chased some sulphurs around, they are simply too fast for me, so no picture. I was just doing a yarden walk, sans camera...big mistake. Spotted a gorgeous buckeye butterfly. They are not common in my yard, although I do get a few. Ran to get the camera...when I got back outside, the buckeye was gone. The frits and sulphurs were everywhere. ve | ||||
I have the usual butterflies flitting around and I saw a really neat one the other day, let me see if I can google what it looked like. What's different right now in my yard are the dragonflies. Every day there are at least 25-30 all circling in a group about 6ft off the ground in one area of the yard. They are all copper colored. It's really cool to watch them. Whether You Think You Can Or You Think You Can't..... You're Right - Henry Ford | ||||
It took me awhile but I found it, It's called American Lady...I've only seen one so far. Whether You Think You Can Or You Think You Can't..... You're Right - Henry Ford | ||||
That's pretty zone9. I have a bunch of dragon flies too. But they aren't circling anything. Do you think you might have some swarming ants or termites? The dragon flies went nuts last spring when the termites around here swarmed. I've been seeing LOTS of winged fire ants when I treat/kill mounds the last week or so. "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
I know we have ants crawling just about everywhere now and the termites are a year round thing in the woods with all the fallen rotting trees. I never see these dragonflies on the ground, it's like their doing a mating ritual or something. LOL! Whether You Think You Can Or You Think You Can't..... You're Right - Henry Ford | ||||
Was out at the beach yesterday birdwatching and the butterflies were everywhere!! In fact, the local butterfly house is having their Monarch Festival today.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Florida Farm Girl, www.floridafarmgirlsworld.blogspot.com Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain. | ||||
FFG - what a lovely picture - thank you so much for sharing. z9 - sometimes I'm lucky enough to get an American Lady...I think what you get depends on your host plants, which is why I don't get them often. She's a beauty. Thank you for sharing her. I wish I had more dragonflies. You girls are lucky to have them. They are so cool. Usually when I get them, they are the dull brownish black ones. The blue ones are my favorites...they are rare here. Someone go out and capture some pictures of your dragonflies and start a new post...pretty please. veThis message has been edited.

An Elegant Neutral Home Tour
Pretty much whenever I see a taupe (greige?) room, I fall in love.
The color just feels good to me.
Most of my house is painted taupe and I've never grown tired of it.
Not even a little bit.
This gorgeous room has a lot of texture which keeps a monochromatic room from looking boring.
BTW: I'm thinking of getting a padded fabric headboard.
If you have one, how do you like it? Pros and cons?
I am head over heels for this table runner. It is so very pretty!
I am also loving the mix of rustic table with formal chairs.
It's so hard (for me) to pull off a look like this.
Then we have the really casual (ha ha) breakfast room.
Someday I would love to have a sparkly chandelier.
They grays here are dreamy.
I love the big art piece.
This is something I've been thinking a lot about lately.
What are some really great looking BIG art pieces that I can bring into my own home?
They make such a statement.
Have you noticed that this home is just filled with pretty chairs?
I've been scouring Craigslist trying to find cane back chairs, but so far no luck.
They even have a gorgeous chair in the bathroom!
I can just imagine the wife saying to her husband....
"don't sit on my chair, don't drip on my chair, don't even look at it!"
Such unusual seating in the kitchen, but I'll bet it's comfy.
This whole house is Fab!
Having said that, this is my least favorite room in the house.
It's very beautiful, no doubt.
Just a little too traditional for my taste.
p.s. check out the cool ceiling.
Happy Sunday peeps!

All I can think of is how dirty this would all get with 3 boys or men in the house, especially the headboard and then how do you clean it. Or is it just Craig that eats and spills in bed. Great color for the walls though. Kay

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Very good ruby-red. Currant, tobacco, game and roasted nuts on the expressive nose. Full, supple and sweetly oaky. Also wears its oak more gracefully. Very long on the finish, with ripe, tongue-coating tannins."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "92-94 Barrel sample. A complete wine, rich and opulent. It has all the right balances of acidity, sweet fruits, black flavors and underlying dry tannins. Excellent."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The dark ruby/purple-hued 2009 Pavillon Rouge de Chateau Margaux offers a big, sweet kiss of spring flowers intermixed with blueberries and blackberries, a silky texture, and a dense, concentrated, but seamless mouthfeel. This glorious wine should drink well for 20 or more years. (Tasted once.)"

why ads?Diesel power comes to the Beetle for 2013. Available in hardtop and convertible models, Volkswagen's 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine posts some impressive numbers: 236 lb-ft of torque and 28/41 city/highway mpg. Also, the Beetle Fender Edition, a special trim package presented in cooperation with the iconic electric-guitar maker, is currently available through dealer order.
The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle is not the kind of car you buy because you need it, but because you absolutely want it. Its competitors are found in the "boutique" category – cars that deliver heavily on style, image, emotional appeal and ownership that transcends mere transportation. That group could reasonably include the Mini Cooper, Fiat 500, Ford Mustang, Hyundai Veloster, even the sibling VW GTI and a few others. Yet, the 2012 Beetle is an attractive selection in its own right, with all the mechanical, technological and feature benefits you would expect from Volkswagen, powered by a selection of engines that includes a 2.5-liter 5-cylinder, a 2.0-liter turbo powerhouse, and a 2.0-liter turbodiesel, all wrapped in the most familiar shape on the road.

Chris and Kelly are two of the loveliest people you will ever meet.
What started out as a quick high school fling many moons ago, ended with them getting hitched and bringing a decade and a half of questions, thoughts and dreams to life.
Maho + Pea » We take photographs
Based in the north of Melbourne, we are the head honchos in a modern day version of the Brady Bunch. Two teen girls, two tween boys, three cats and a dog and an ongoing discussion on the merits of getting another - it's a life not for the faint-hearted.
What it IS however is the foundation for a partnership that can tackle just about anything. Combine that with a decade of photographic experience and you have a recipe for a view of the world based on the quirky, occasionally clumsy and always fun side of life.
Pea takes her inspirations from a start in film photography many (many) moons ago; Maho takes his from a writing background exploring the human condition. This combined forms a love of all those moments which can tell a story and a need to capture said moments.
If you would like to have us help you document whatever story you may wish to tell, please get in touch. We would love to hear from you!

Leaving a turd laying across a rack that goes above a toilet when the rack was blocking the upper tank area of the toilet in the process of attempting to leave an upper decker (top shelf) in someone's toilet. Person 1: did you upper deck the toilet at travis' shitty party?
Person 2: i couldn't, there was a toilet rack blocking the top part so i left a green monster instead. |

Not cough syrup and mouthwash...ewww Get a cooler... (2) 2liter bottles of mt dew (2) quarts (big can) of pinapple jucie (8) packets of limon lime cool-aid (1) 1/5 of everclear.... Mix well and enjoy... makes about 2 gallons "I got drunk of green monster and shit green in my friends shoe...."

The wall in the left field of Boston's Fenway Park. The wall is about 25 feet tall and robs many a batter of a homerun, hence the monster. The walls are primarily green at Fenway, hence the "green".
It is also the nickname of the lame new mascot for the Red Sox. Don't get me wrong, they are my favorite baseball team, but Wally the Green Monster mascot guy in a suit sucks. Ex 1: "Trot Nixon blasted a 2-out opposite field dinger over the GREEN MONSTER to put the sox on top in the bottom of the eighth..."
Ex 2: "Kids these days are getting screwed out of cool mascots. I guess Wally the Green Monster is cooler than the MSU Sparty..." |

An round, dark green 80mg Oxycontin pill. Has an imprint of 'OC' on one side and '80' on the other. The highest milligram Oxycontin pill that is still manufactured today, as the 160mg Oxycontin has been discontinued. Must be brand name Oxycontin and not a generic Oxycodone. Generally causes feelings of euphoria, relaxation, numbness, itchiness, and a feeling of "I don't give a fuck about anything because I feel amazing". "Hold the fuck on bro!..I have to wash the coating off this green monster so I can fix it and shoot it into my neck!"
"Dude I just got some green monsters that we can use as cut for our cheese heroin!" "Shit, I'll hit you up tomorrow man, I'm gunna go fuck my girls brains out cause these green monsters let me fuck for days without busting a nut!" |

The Green Monster is the famous/infamous wall in left field of Fenway Park, home of MLB team the Boston Red Sox (why they still can't spell SOCKS right after almost 100 year now is beyond me).
The Green Monster is appropriately named at 37 feet or 11 meters high with its coat of green paint. The wall can be a make-or-break for entire games and even seasons due to the funny way balls bounce off of it and how left fielders play the bounce. Sox left fielders from Carl Yastrzemski to present-day player Manny Ramirez have learned how to play balls off the Monster and have therefore converted some amazing plays. The view from the seats on top of the Green Monster was amazing but the best part of all was all the balls that were hit up there during batting practice, by the end of it there's about a ball per person up there.
6. | Green Monster | ||
Green Monster is the name given to a house that often throws parties, rages, kickbacks, pregames, raves etc. The house or series of houses is often found in a populous American city and/or college town. Often confused with a fraternity or frat house, a Green Monster is non-greek affiliated and usually throws better parties than the surrounding Greek community. This party is sick! What frat is this?
This isn't a frat, this is Green Monster. |

Here's a list of questions that will make your mind slightly confused:
"What is the colour of a mirror?"
"If you enjoy wasting time, is that time really wasted?"
"If anything is possible, is it possible for anything to be impossible?"
"If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?"
"If you try to fail and succeed, then which have you done?"
"Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?"
"Why is a boxing ring square?"
"Why is it that rain drops but snow falls?"
"Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?"
"Why is the third hand on the watch called second hand?"
"Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?"
"Why is the word dictionary in the dictionary?"
"Why isn't there mouse-flavoured cat food?"
"Why do you need a driver's license to buy alcohol when you can't drink and drive?"
Well there you have it, I'm sure there's many more mindf*cks out there like that, if you know of any more we'd love to hear them!

Health Information
Carbon Dioxide Laser Surgery for Abnormal Cervical Cell Changes
Surgery Overview
A Reference carbon dioxide (CO2) laser Opens New Window beam is used to:
- Destroy (vaporize) abnormal Reference cervical Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window tissue that can be seen through a magnifying viewing instrument (colposcope).
- Remove abnormal tissue high in the cervical canal that cannot be seen through the colposcope. The CO2 laser can be used to do a Reference cone biopsy Opens New Window (see Reference cone biopsy for abnormal Pap test).
Laser vaporization takes 10 to 15 minutes. The abnormal tissue is destroyed or removed, leaving normal tissue intact.
How it is done
Carbon dioxide laser surgery can be done in your doctor's office, a clinic, or a hospital as an outpatient procedure (you do not have to spend the night in the hospital).
You will need to take off your clothes below the waist and drape a paper or cloth covering around your waist. You will then lie on your back on an exam table with your feet raised and supported by footrests (stirrups). Your doctor will insert an instrument with curved blades (speculum) into your vagina. The speculum gently spreads apart the vaginal walls, allowing the inside of the vagina and the cervix to be examined.
The procedure is usually done with a numbing medicine injected into the cervix (cervical block). If a cervical block is used, an oral pain medicine may be used along with the local anesthetic.

These recordings surfaced some years ago on i-tunes and all vocals except "Whole Lotta Woman" are definitely Johnny Spence.Pirate avids are not agreed on the backing musicians however.I think they are all Mick Green/Johnny Spence/Frank Farley and Vic Cooper.You have to remind yourself that they were cut probably in 1964 when their playing ,although excellent, was not as "advanced" as later on.Has anyone else any ideas ?

First Blues – Rags, Ballads, & Harmonium Songs
CD (Item 475111) Folkways, 1981 — Condition: New Copy
One of the coolest records we've ever heard from beat legend Allen Ginsberg – not just a record of his famous poetry, but one that also features him on harmonium as well! There's a really weird, dark sound to the record – as Ginsberg plays harmonium and sings/speaks his own words – older themes from the 60s and 70s, recast here with almost a new sense of blues and frustration. The approach is quite unique, and almost features a Ginsberg cowed a bit by the changes of time, but still with the same sense of wit and clarity he brought to his work a few decades back. Titles include "CIA Dope Calypso", "Put Down Your Cigarette Rag", "Come Back Christmas", "Bus Ride Ballad Road To Suva", "Prayer Blues", and "Dope Fiend Blues". (Special limited CD – pressed up for us by the Smithsonian Folkways label. Comes with original cover artwork, and the CD also features a PDF file with the original liner notes and other materials from the original record release.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |
