Over 128,000 patients have received a St. Jude Riata or Riata ST heart defibrillator leads worldwide, many of which received their implant in the United States. Although the St. Jude devices have been recalled in November of 2011, approximately 79,000 patients (at the time of the recall) continue to live with the potentially defective device because of the risks associated with surgery. In the event of an implant failure, patients are strongly urged to seek legal counsel from a knowledgeable product liability lawyer with experience in representing clients against large medical device manufacturing companies.
Unusually High Rate of Insulation Erosion
Defibrillator leads are the thin wires that connect the defibrillator to the heart. The leads are what deliver the electrical shocks when the heart begins to beat in an abnormal pace or pattern. When these metal wires escape its insulation, patients can be at risk of:
- Unintended shocks
- Device failure
- Organ perforation
- Heart attack
- Cardiac arrest
The St. Jude heart defibrillators have been linked to 20 deaths and numerous complications. A study conducted by the medical device manufacturer found that Riata and Riata ST exhibited failure rates of 24 percent and 9.3 percent, respectively.
FDA Advises Imaging Tests for St. Jude Defibrillator Patients
On August 16, 2012, the FDA issued a news release advising patients with St. Jude Riata and Riata ST defibrillator leads to check the condition of their implants' leads through X-rays and other imaging technology. The recommendations are supported by several studies that have demonstrated that regular imaging tests can detect problems with the lead insulation early on, and protect patients from suffering serious health problems.
Legal Rights for St. Jude Riata and Riata ST Patients
Victims of defective heart defibrillator leads should understand their legal rights to seek financial compensation from St. Jude Medical. Product liability law provides injured patients, a means to seek legal recourse after suffering a serious heart complication or losing a loved one due to the defective Riata or Riata ST devices. Patients may be entitled to damages such as:
- Revision surgery
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Disability

Today I went to the first ever Iowa Bicycle Coalition Bicycle Film Festival. It was a fundraiser for the IBC. It was held at the Vaudville Mews in downtown Des Moines at 2:00 pm. It was free but donations were accepted.
The 3 films that were shown were: "One Got Fat", it was a kids bicycle safety film from the 1960's. "The Yearbook", which was produced by Yakima. The headliner was "The Triplets of Belleville".
I already have a copy of "The Triplets of Belleville". I want to get a copy of the other 2.
I hope the IBC does the film festival again next year. I'll drive 200 miles for it again.
I am also in Des Moines for the state wide RAGBRAI/RIDE RIGHT meeting tomorrow. The film festival was just an added bonus, but I'd have come just for the film festival.

(CNN) -- It has three times the horsepower of the average car. It's notoriously difficult to handle, even for professional drivers. And now, it's known as the car actor Paul Walker was riding in when he died.
Both Walker and his driving team partner, who was behind the wheel, died after the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT they were in slammed into a pole and burst into flames. Los Angeles County authorities say speed was a factor in the crash and are investigating how fast the exotic car was going.
So why is the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT so different from other street cars? Here are five reasons:
1) It flies on the road
The sports car has a top speed of 208 mph, a very high-revving V10 engine and more than 600 horsepower, said Eddie Alterman, editor-and-chief of Car and Driver magazine.
Police rule out 2nd vehicle in Walker crash
"This was not a car for novices," Alterman said. "Actually, the Carrera GT program began as a racing program."
Todd Trimble, an exotic car mechanic in Las Vegas, said the Carrera GT is a "very hard car to drive."
"It's (a) pure racer's car. You really need to know what you're doing when you drive them. And a lot of people are learning the hard way."
2) It's incredibly expensive
Brand new, the car costs $450,000.
An oil change alone costs $900, Trimble said.
3) The engine is in the middle
Having the engine in the middle of the car means it's more agile and turns more quickly than a car with the engine in the front or in the rear.
The Carrera GT is able to change direction "very quickly, very much like a race car," Alterman said.
"It was beyond a super car. It is what we call a hyper car."
4) It has no stability control
The Carrera GT is also unusual because it has no electronic stability control. That means it's unforgiving with mistakes.
"Stability control is really good at correcting slides, keeping the car from getting out of shape," race car driver Randy Pobst said.
Pobst coached the actors in the second "Fast & Furious" movie -- including Paul Walker.
"Paul was by far the best driver -- a natural car guy," he said.
Alterman said learning to drive a car like a Carrera GT can be extremely tricky.
"Every car is sort of different. And this one, especially since it had such a hair-trigger throttle, because it changed directions so quickly, there is a lot to learn."
5) There are only 1,300 of them
Porsche made only about 1,300 Carreras GTs -- and they're disappearing fast.
"They're getting rarer and rarer," Trimble said. "Most of the time, when they do get wrecked, there's not much left of them."
Walker and other stars who died during production
CNN's Sarah Aarthun contributed to this report.

Soundcheck Photos
We have been dealing with some spotty internet out here on the road and it has been making it extremely difficult to upload the soundcheck photos. We appreciate everyones patience during this time and will have them up asap.
UPDATE - You can check out the VIP event photos here. More being added daily.
I hope u wernt referring to me there, I have been nothing but patient I also saw how busy they were it was a very good job they did too. Was annoyed at the lack of update more than anything and I had every right to have a little moan. Sometimes it takes a little moan from a few people to get things moving it seems to have worked. Anyway I don't like coming on here and moaning, justin done a great job in the end the pics are great!
How about you get off Justin's back yeh? I don't think a lot of people appreciate how much work Justin, Kate and the other crew do, and that maybe sometimes things will slip just like with everyone else in life. And you aren't even asking politely.
I don't think I could have the energy to chase a rock band around for weeks on end, and THEN deal with websites etc, especially when there is flu going around the camp. Hell, I had trouble keepign my energy up for the 3rd gig and I was just watching!
Justin, Kate et al, you do a great job, keep it up.
PS: It's pronoucned KE-B-AH-B. Not Kebob :P

Valdosta, GA - Coming off a stellar 51-9 season that included a Gulf South Conference Championship, a South Regional Championship and an appearance in the National Championship, Valdosta State softball has been selected as the preseason favorite for the GSC Title, according to a vote by the league's coaches released Tuesday.
Both Valdosta State and Alabama-Huntsville split all six first-place votes available for the Gulf South's East Division, but the Blazers outdid Huntsville in the running for overall champion by one vote.
Behind the top two in the East were West Florida, West Alabama, North Alabama and West Georgia in that order. For the overall championship, Valdosta State received six votes while the Chargers garnered five. Arkansas-Monticello was in the running with two votes and was chosen to win the West.
In addition to the respect the team as a whole received from voters, three individuals were named to the Preseason All-GSC Team. Pitchers Holly Satterfield and Margaret Carter, both All-Gulf South selections last season were the only pitchers named to the 2011 preseason squad. Shortstop Marti Littlefield, a magnet for GSC awards, was the third Blazer named to the squad.
Three Valdosta State newcomers also received recognition from conference coaches. All juniors, third base Sam Posey, utility player Natalia Morozova and outfielder Jordan Martin, were tabbed as newcomers to watch in the Gulf South.
One of the most competitive conferences in the country looks to be just as competitive this season. Both Valdosta State and Alabama-Huntsville will get a chance to face Arkansas-Monticello, which placed a conference-high five players on the West's preseason squad, at the GSC Crossover on April 7-10.
The trio will likely see each other again in the GSC Tournament and South Regional.
Valdosta State returns 13 from the successful 2010 campaign, including both starting pitchers Satterfield and Carter. Three of the top five home run hitters from last season, Littlefield, Morgan Johnson and Melesaa Jackson also return.
The season starts February 4 for Valdosta State and the Blazers will host their first game of the season at 3 p.m. March 1 against Georgia Southwestern.

Get Your Energy Plan in Order
Does your business have a comprehensive energy plan? Now is the right time as New York City introduced laws requiring building owners to do a number of things in regards to energy efficiency – benchmarking, performing energy audits, retro-commissioning and a host of other initiatives.
Implementing an efficiency program can save a company millions of dollars in energy usage and drastically reduce emissions as well as create a corporate culture that fosters continuous improvement in the areas of sustainability and building performance. High performance buildings operate efficiently and cost-effectively.
Energy costs and usage can be reduced without your company sacrificing comfort or a great deal of financial resources. Let's face it, we all need to do more with less. It's certainly a different environment than it was almost 35 years ago when Jimmy Carter came on TV during the oil crisis with his sweater and said, "You know, we all need to sacrifice." The truth is, today, with the technology that we have, people don't need to sacrifice. Proven technology exists that can provide great working and living conditions, the right temperature and humidity, the right level of lighting and we can do it in a very efficient way. So, people don't have to sacrifice. They can work under the right conditions but spend less money creating those conditions.
Concurrently, capital is loosening up so businesses have access to resources, to make investments in major energy efficiency projects including lighting and lighting controls, HVAC, furnaces, boilers, motors, variable frequency drives and energy efficiency studies. Between the federal and state level, city and utility level, there are substantial incentives available to help businesses make smart investments in energy efficiency.
If the task of implementing an energy plan seems overwhelming, the following steps can help propel you in the right direction:
Make it a Commitment
Realize that energy efficiency is everyone's responsibility. Make it a company-wide mandate and get everyone involved. Outline important benefits and steps.
Perform an Energy Audit
An energy audit is key in knowing precisely how much energy your company is currently using and exactly where improvements need to be made. It can highlight the weaknesses in current energy consumption and provide recommendations for energy efficiency and savings while increasing your building's performance. To ensure accurate usage information, measurement of each energy source – e.g. gas, electricity, oil, and renewable – is needed. Use all the information you gather to produce an energy policy and identify long, medium and short-term energy-saving targets.
Set Goals
When implementing an energy policy, you must first decide on specific actions to take to save energy and put those actions in order of priority. It's very important to set realistic and attainable goals. For example, if your business commits to a percentage reduction in carbon emissions, make sure that this is attainable. It's a slow and steady ride but if priorities are outlined effectively, you can be certain to reach your goals.
Determine Roles & Resources
Having an experienced energy management team or manager can keep everyone on track by reiterating and highlighting the benefits of the corporate energy policy and leading the team toward their energy saving goals.
Get the Word Out – Raise Awareness
It is very important to get everyone involved from key decision makers, to senior management, to staff at all levels of the business. Choosing to provide energy efficiency training and energy efficiency education programs can help employees understand the importance of the energy efficiency policy, boost participation and motivate employees.
Research Energy Efficiency Finance Options
Many organizations see low funds as a major obstacle to energy efficiency projects but in many cases, funding can be structured so that the projects can be repaid from energy savings, negating the need for upfront capital. A good energy service company can guide you in the right direction offering special financing while the government provides tax credit and low-interest loans for energy projects.
Implement Energy Efficiency Processes and Equipment
Energy efficiency projects can be outlined in short, medium and long-term as well as low-cost and projects needing capital investment. Starting with the short term and low-cost measures can have an immediate impact and get everyone on board at the starting gate.
Measure, Monitor and Report
Measuring and monitoring progress regularly will increase active participation and make sure your company is on target to reaching its energy saving goals. Alert the staff to the progress, this will certainly keep them motivated.
Get Certified – Register for Third-Party Verification
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is an internationally recognized green building certification system developed by the U.S. Green Buildings Council (USGBC). It provides building managers with the groundwork of constructing, operating and maintaining green building design solutions. Visit http://www.usgbc.org/DisplayPage.aspx?CategoryID=19 for more information on LEED certification guidelines and processes.
The ENERGY STAR® is a recognizable symbol of energy efficiency. The EPA awards the ENERGY STAR to organizations achieving a high level of energy performance within their industry. There are special criteria for receiving an ENERGY STAR rating. Visit http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=industry.bus_industry_plants for more details.
Achieve, Recognize, Reward!
Recognizing and rewarding those employees who have taken great initiative for implementing the energy policy and reducing energy consumption will foster an environment of sustainability and possibly increase participation.
Written by David Pospisil. Pospisil is Program Manager of Con Edison's Commercial & Industrial Energy Efficiency Program, New York, N.Y. Con Edison's Green Team offers incentives to offset the costs of those major energy efficiency projects. The Con Edison Green Team is eager to help you create a high performance building.

Familiarity with the cast and crew is important for Vindu Dara Singh who confesses that he likes to work with people he is on good terms with.
"I like to work with my friends. I can't work with people who push me into doing something. I like to work at my own pace. I don't trouble people and don't want people to trouble me," Vindu told IANS on phone from Mumbai.
Son of legendary Dara Singh, he is happy with the success he is getting on the samll screen and movies.
The 48-year-old was adjudged the winner of "Bigg Boss 3″ and has been part of reality shows like "Master Chef 2″ and "Maa Exchange". He has also been part of hit movies "Housefull 2″ and "Son of Sardaar", to name a few.
Currently he features in Life Ok's "Welcome: Baazi Mehmaan Naawazi Ki", an Indian version of British reality show "Come Dine With Me".
Hosted by Ram Kapoor, the show features five popular celebrities from TV, testing their hosting, entertainment and culinary skills, every week.
This week's participants include actors Sara Khan, Anupam Shyam, Aman Verma, Nauheed Cyrusi and Vindu who describes it as "one crazy show".
"It is a show but with a difference, where we have to make food and entertain people. I had fun being a part of it. There were times when there were conflicts among the contestants on the kind of food being made or arrangements done. But otherwise it didn't seem like we were shooting for something, everything went off very smoothly," said Vindu, who emerged as a winner this week on the show.
"I am not well-versed with cooking. I had my wife giving me instructions while I was cooking food. On the whole, everything worked out well and I won," said the actor.
Vindu replaced Ali Merchant who quit the show after his ex-wife Sara opposed his presence.
"I was supposed to be a part of some other episode, but due to tension between Ali and Sara, I was approached to be part of it in place of Ali. It is sad to see things not working out between Ali and Sara, but it seems some things are just not meant to be," he added.
The actor insists he will never leave television and said: "Television has given a lot to me."
Vindu was likely to do a fiction show on the small screen, but it has been put on hold after the show's producer met with an accident. – IANS

Indoors: Make lemon-scented soap using a soap kit from a crafts store, yellow food coloring, and lemon essential oil or lemon peel.
4) Water, Water Everywhere
Outdoors: The first day of summer begs for a run through the sprinkler or a water balloon fight.
Indoors: Make your own natural, non-toxic bubble solution for hours of fun. You'll need:
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tbs. dish soap or liquid laundry detergent
- 1 tbs. glycerin
- 1 tbs. white sugar
Using a sealable jar, dissolve the sugar in the warm water, then add glycerin and soap. Fashion colorful wands in fanciful shapes using pipe cleaners and your "twisted" imagination!

College Film Tour Hopes To Get Some Hype From Sundance
by Mary Sampson
The organizers of Flixtour, a traveling indie series that takes films and
filmmakers to college campuses, are hoping that a press conference and
photo op at the Sundance Film Festival will help launch its spring tour.
The tour, which plans on visiting over 40 college and university campuses,
will be holding a press conference with, and photo shoot of, the chosen
filmmakers while they attend the festival. The event is set for this Friday
on Main Street.
Seven feature length and eight short films were chosen to make the tour,
which will premiere at the University of North Carolina in February and
conclude at the University of Colorado in Apri -- only one of the films chosen
was directed by a woman. "With the astounding lack of exhibition venues
available to truly independent movie makers, and the problem only getting
worse, Flixtour is part of the solution", claims Tim Rhys, publisher of
MovieMaker Magazine and one of the programs sponsors.
Flixtour is produced by First Light Contemporary Releasing in partnership
with Event Marketing Communications, The Auburn Moon Agency, Impact
Interactive, Harvest Music & Sound Design, and Rudolph & Beer LLP.
* * * * *
The following is a list of films scheduled to screen at the upcoming Flixtour:
Karl Hirsch's "Green" (formerly, "Whatever"), Lee Skaife and Loch
Phillips' "Use Your Head," Tom LeGros' "Guinea Men," Vincent Pereira's
"A Better Place," Paul Feig's "Life Sold Seperately," Anna Nicholas'
"Univers'l," and Zack Winestine's "States of Control."
Don Scardino's "The Deal," Steven Dovas' "Call Me Fishmael," Don
Hertzfeldt's "Lili and Jim," Mark Edgington's "Anna in the Sky," Ben Younger's
"L&M," Jason Hernandez-Rosenblatt's "Meat," Mitchell Bard's "Soup or Salad,"
and James Napoli's "Nobody Get's Hurt."

The X Factor
X Factor 2013: Who Should Be Eliminated From the Top 6?
Update (December 5, 2014):
Luckily for Carlito, we got it wrong this week. He's in the Top 4 after winning the "Save Me" round against Rion Paige. The 13-year-old cutie joined Ellona Santiago as the two contestants sent home during the December 5 elimination.
Original story (December 4, 2013):
We hate to say it but it's pretty obvious who should be eliminated from The X Factor this week. Don't get us wrong. Everyone is incredible in the Season 3's final six contestants but one person in particular didn't measure up during December 4's Live Show. Carlito Olivero, we love you like the musical brother we never had, but your time on X Factor may be done.
Carlito's been in the bottom several weeks in a row with the judges critiquing his seeming discomfort on stage. The 24-year-old looked to have found his groove again during the Thanksgiving week shows with his performance of Ricky Martin's "The Cup of Life" during Big Band week, but he faltered again tonight.
His first number, Jennifer Lopez's "Let's Get Loud," didn't wow the judges. "It fell flat a little bit," Kelly Rowland said. "I feel like when I'm watching you sing, I feel like you're pushing yourself to sing." Demi Lovato was equally unimpressed while Simon Cowell and Carlito's mentor, Paulina Rubio, tried to stay positive.
But where "Let's Get Loud" may have been off since Carlito only got the song 24 hours before the Live Show, there was no such explanation for his second number. Sure, it was, as Kelly noted, the strongest performance he's had all season but after the all-star talent of the evening, "Stand By Me" could easily get lost in the shuffle.
If Carlito does end up getting cut during tomorrow night's double elimination, we have a good feeling he'll be able to bounce back. He looks to already have quite the following in Los Angeles what with his official website, complete with steamy music videos.
As for who might be joining Carlito for the long walk off The X Factor stage on December 5, that's a little more up in the air. Rion Paige, darling as she is, had a weak first performance of Carrie Underwood's "See You Again" and voters might be harsh when it comes to Ellona Santiago taking on some of the music industry's biggest divas: Lady Gaga and Beyoncé.
What do you think? Is this where Carlito's X Factor journey ends or do you think another performer is heading home? And what about that second elimination?

Decision 1 (60) on Papua New Guinea : Papua New Guinea. 01/11/2002.
A/57/18,para 514A. (Decision)
Convention Abbreviation: CERD
Report of the Committee on the Elimination of
Racial Discrimination
Sixtieth session (4-22 March 2002)
Decision 1 (60) on Papua New Guinea
1. At its 1506th meeting, on 11 March 2002 (see CERD/C/SR.1506), the Committee reviewed again the implementation of the Convention by Papua New Guinea under the early warning procedure.
2. Despite the Committee's repeated requests, Papua New Guinea has not resumed its dialogue with the Committee. It has submitted neither its periodic report nor the additional information requested about the situation in Bougainville. In fact, the dialogue between Papua New Guinea and the Committee has been interrupted since 1984. The State party has not fulfilled its obligation under article 9, paragraph 1, of the Convention.
3. The Committee reiterates its decisions 2 (52) of 19 March 1998, 4 (51) of 21 August 1997, 3 (47) of 16 August 1995 and 8 (46) of 16 March 1995 on Papua New Guinea, in which it requested the State party to comply with its obligation under article 9, paragraph 1, of the Convention, mainly to provide information on the situation in Bougainville.
4. The Committee urges the State party to submit its report under article 9, paragraph 1, of the Convention, as well as to supply information specifically on the present situation in Bougainville. In particular, the report should provide information on the demographic composition of the population, as well as the economic, social and cultural situation of the various ethnic groups. In this connection, the Committee wishes again to draw the State party's attention to the possibility of availing itself of the technical assistance offered under the advisory services and technical assistance programme of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
5. The Committee draws the attention of the State party to the provisions of the Declaration and Programme of Action of the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance, according to which the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination is the principal international instrument for the elimination of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance and States are urged to cooperate with the Committee in order to promote the effective implementation of the Convention.
6. The Committee hopes that the State party will also consider withdrawing its reservation to article 4 of the Convention.
7. The Committee decides that, in the absence of any indication on the part of the State party that it will comply with its obligation under article 9, paragraph 1, of the Convention, it will consider the implementation of the Convention in Papua New Guinea at its sixty-second session, in March 2003.

"The time is always right to do what's right." – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
This informative 30-page slideshow presentation points out that the solutions to the rhino crisis can be found in increased protection in all implicated states through international and national legislation, improved enforcement, stiffer penalties, and demand reduction – not legalized trade.
Watch, learn, and share with others:

Legal trade in rhino horn raises serious ethical concerns, including:
- Legitimization of the product
- Undermining of demand reduction efforts
- Exploitation of cancer sufferers
Furthermore, ivory sales and China's parallel market in tiger products have had devastating effects on these species.
About the presenter
Mark Jones is the Executive Director, Humane Society International/UK.
"The tragedy is that rhino horn is made of keratin, the same stuff that makes up human hair and nails. It has no medicinal value, you might as well eat your fingernails." – Mark Jones, as told to the Daily Express in "It is devastating to see rhinos killed for a cure that doesn't work".

KHL's SKA St. Petersburg announces it will sign Devils' Kovalchuk; expected to make his debut Sunday
SKA St. Petersburg of Russia's Kontinental Hockey League announced on its website today that Devils right wing Ilya Kovalchuk will sign with the team. The team plans to make the official announcement of the signing at a Tuesday news conference.
Kovalchuk's agent, Jay Grossman, confirmed the signing via e-mail and said that Kovalchuk is expected to play in SKA St. Petersburg's next game on Sunday (Sept. 23) at UHC Dynamo. (SKA St. Petersburg had a game today against HC Slovan Bratislava.)
Kovalchuk, 29, would sign a contract that would allow him to return to the Devils when the NHL lockout is over. SKA St. Petersburg tried to lure Kovalchuk to the KHL when he became an NHL unrestricted free agent in 2010 before he re-signed with the Devils.
Kovalchuk, who led the Devils with 37 goals and 83 points last season, played for AK Bars Kazan in Russia during the 2004-05 NHL lockout.
Kovalchuk could end up playing two KHL games in the area if the NHL lockout lasts into January. SKA St. Petersburg is scheduled to play games against Dynamo Moscow on Jan. 19 and 20 at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
Kovalchuk will join an exodus of European NHL players to leagues overseas after the NHL lockout began Sunday morning. Other players to sign with KHL teams include Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin (Metallurg Magnitogorsk), Ottawa's Sergei Gonchar (Metallurg Magnitogorsk), the Islanders Lubomir Visnovsky (HC Slovan) and Philadelphia's Ruslan Fedotenko (HC Donbass).
All of the Devils' North American players I spoke to before the lockout, including Martin Brodeur, Travis Zajac, David Clarkson and Andy Greene, said they would wait for a while before exploring options to play in Europe. Brodeur said if the lockout lasts into November he would start looking at that option, but he's "not 100 percent sure" he would play in Europe. Brodeur opted not to play in a league outside North America during the 1994-95 and 2004-05 NHL lockouts.
Backup goaltender Johan Hedberg and defenseman Bryce Salvador said they did not plan to play elsewhere during the lockout.

Op-ed: 'New anti-Semitism' substitutes hatred of the Jew with demonization of Israel
Ora Shapiro
Published: 07.12.13, 12:13 / Israel Opinion
Ora Shapiro
Are we going back in time when Nazi
propaganda dehumanized Jews by depicting them as animals? A recently published cartoon
by the German Sueddeutsche Zeitung portraying Israel as a monster "Moloch" devouring weaponry is just another confirmation that anti-Semitism is still in vogue, but with a new more dangerous twist.
Israel as 'Moloch' in German daily
Also Palestinian NGOs, funded by German taxpayer money, claim to promote democracy and human rights, while simultaneously employing both "new antisemitism," as well as classical antisemitism.
Anti-Semitic cartoons, brochures, claims, whether published in Germany or supported by German tax-payer money, endanger Jews and undermine the special German-Israeli relations. Promoting hate-filled ideologies, systematically demonizing Jews, and denying Israel's right to exist, runs counter to stated missions of organizations like Miftah, which claim to encourage peace and promote conflict resolution.
Despite the extensive evidence of NGO anti-Semitism, governments nonetheless continue to fund these groups. Officials justify the funding under the pretense that it is intended for distinct "projects" unrelated to the grantee's wider agenda and expressions of anti-Semitism. However, funders are enablers, and share full responsibility for the activities of their grantees – including promoting hate and intolerance.

01/27/2012, Thompson Bay, Long Island
It was windy again today and Bud's heel is still sore so we were staying aboard this morning. We decided we'd better tackle trimming Fuzzy. Bud started while I was doing the dishes. Then I came over and helped to hold him. We got his top poof trimmed, his feet his ears, and some of his legs. That was about it. He does look better, though Bud didn't shave his face, so his ears are short but his face is still a bit shaggy and that looks a bit odd.
I wanted to take a walk this afternoon, but Bud didn't want to do three dinghy trips because the water was getting so rough. In the end, Fuzzy started to show some signs of distress, so about 3:30 we decided we had to take him in. Bud agreed to come back to the boat with Fuzzy and let me stay on shore. I would then call on the hand-held VHF when I was ready to come back, by then Fuzzy would have eaten and would be ready for his evening visit ashore. I decided to see what was up the little road that led around the north side of Thompson Bay and out towards Indian Hole Point. It isn't much of a road, just a dirt lane. I will put a couple of photos in the gallery, one of the larger part of the lane, where there are some houses and one bar/restaurant, and one of the end of the road, past the houses, where it is literally just two tracks through the sand and rock. It was about a mile and a half to the end where the road curved down to the edge of the bay. I took a couple of photos there, including this self portrait using the timer on the camera.
The entire time I was walking out there I didn't see anyone. As I turned to leave I saw another woman quite a ways down the shore picking her way along the rocks. I waved to her as I left by the road. Not long after I reached the "busy" part of the road a car passed me headed out, like I was. I was surprised because I thought I'd only come by one house so far. It was a Bahama Electric Company car and the man waved as he passed. About a half mile later another car passed, also headed out. This was a couple in an SUV and they stopped, put down their window and said hello.
Finally, as I got close to the path over to the beach, an older black man in a van drove in. He also stopped. I went a few steps back to where he stopped and he introduced himself. "Hi, I am Mr. Stanley Pinder and I sell vegetables." He pronounced all four syllables, ve-ge-ta-bles. He told me he figured I was a cruiser and just wanted to let the cruisers know that he had vegetables. He said he was the only one around here who grew vegetables and he sold to the Hillside Store and to Stella Maris Resort. He had some in his truck, which he showed me. He had a beautiful bunch of bok choy, which I admired. He said he was taking it to a friend. He tried to describe where he was located. I told hem we'd definitely come by. He offered me the other bunch of bok choy he had, even though I had no money with me. He said it was $2.00 for the bunch. I told him I'd bring the money over when we came to look at the rest of his produce (finding local produce is a big deal). I then tried to clarify where he was. I asked him if I needed to go left or right at the main road if I was to walk there from where we were. "Oh, you can't walk there, it's too far." Said he. I told him I didn't have a car, so I'd better not take his bok choy because I probably couldn't get to his place to pay him. But he insisted that I take it. "Just eat it and enjoy it and let the other people on the boats know about me." So I will.
And that is what the people are like here. I was walking along in a place that looked desolate and felt perfectly safe and in fact, everyone I met was friendly and in the case of Mr. Pinder, beyond friendly, kind and generous. That's the Bahamas and aside from the weather, the gorgeous water and the beautiful beaches, it's full of beautiful people.
01/26/2012, Thompson Bay, Long Island
Our day began as usual. I took the time and water today to shower. I didn't use too much water, we haven't run the engine or the generator in days and the water was cold! I got pretty clean, anyway. After we took Fuzzy ashore we listened as usual to the Cruiser's Net on the VHF radio here.
We were surprised to learn that Sara and Monty Lewis are here at Thompson Bay and were giving a talk on updates to the Explorer Chartbooks. The Explorer Chartbooks are the Bible for the Bahamas. Very few people sail without them. Monty and Sara are the principal authors. So we loaded up two of our three Chartbooks (the one for the Far Bahamas and the one for the Exumas and Ragged Islands) and our computer and headed in to the Long Island Breeze, which was hosting the talk. Not only are Sara and Monty here, but two other couples who do research for them and contribute writing and photography for the chartbooks were also there. Wow, I was pretty impressed. Bud got to talk to one of the men for a while after the talk and asked him about the passage to the Jumentoes and the Ragged Islands. That's a chain we'd like to visit if we get a good weather window. The main channel leading to them from here isn't even on our electronic charts. It is well marked on the Explorer Charts and I guess it's quite wide and not a problem as long as we stage our trip "on the top half of a rising tide". A lot of people won't buy new Raymarine chartplotters if they are coming to the Bahamas because they use Navionics electronic charts instead of C-Maps, and C-Maps uses the data from the Explorer Chartbooks. That's how good these books are.
The man Bud was talking to and his wife who are contributing authors are a couple we had met the other day on the beach with their dog. You just never know. We meet people who have been cruising for 20 years or more (like them) and people who are down here for the first time (like the couple we sat next to at the talk). Everyone shares and everyone treats each other with respect. It's a pretty nice community of people.
We would have like to stay for lunch, but we had Fuzzy back on the boat, so we came back right after the talk. It's probably close to a mile from the dock at Long Island Breeze to the north end of Thompson Bay where we are anchored. The wind was pretty brisk today, and has moved a bit south of east, so it was blowing across quite a fetch of water by the time it got to our part of the bay. It was rough enough to make the dinghy ride a bit difficult. Also, Bud has a sore heel that is making it hard for him to walk, and makes climbing the ladder from the boat to the dinghy painful. So he waited in the dinghy while I unloaded the charts and the computer and got Fuzzy and we took the dinghy the quarter mile further north to the beach. While we were there a trimaran came sailing in to the bay. He tacked and sailed back through all the anchored boats. I got a picture of him sailing near where Earendil is anchored. I'll post it when I next take the computer ashore for Internet.
We stayed aboard the rest of the day, only going off the boat once more at sunset (after I blew the conch horn salute) to take Fuzzy in for his last visit of the day. I know Bud is getting restless, but we have banking that needs to be done on the internet on the first of the month, and there is no internet in the Jumentos or the Ragged Islands, so we'll have to wait until then to make that trip, if the weather holds.
We see all is well with the three of you. If you get to the lower islands and run across Bill and Christy on S/V "Veranda" tell them we said Hi. They have a small gray terrier and the boat has a hard dodger.
Never met him but they have helped us out many times through the years on our blog
Take care and be safe
01/25/2012, Thompson Bay, Long Island
I thought I might tell you what our "typical" day is, since right now we're just hanging around Thompson Bay, Long Island. I still don't sleep in. A late morning for me is 6:30; I'm more likely to be up by 5:30. I start the coffee, when we're on the hook we make it in a little stovetop percolator. It only makes about three mugs, usually on or the other of us just has one. By 6:30 Bud is up. We tune into the SSB radio to hear the latest weather run-down by Chris Parker. Chris does weather forecasting for the whole Florida, Gulf of Mexico, Bahamas and Caribbean area. At 6:30 is his Bahama net. It usually starts 10 or 15 minutes late, because after his forecast he takes specific requests for information from "subscribing" boats. At 6 AM he does a net for part of the Caribbean, and they usually run over. Anyway, we're subscribers this year, but so far we've only listened and received his email reports, we've never asked for information. Usually we get what we need by listening to the general report and listening to other boats.
Today, Bud took Fuzzy ashore after the weather. I still hadn't eaten breakfast. I ate breakfast and then washed and got dressed. Most days I take a "sponge bath" in the morning. Water is a real issue for us because our other maintenance things ran so over budget that we didn't install a water maker as we had hoped. We carry about 120 gallons of water in our tanks and have 4 5-gallon jerry jugs that we also fill. This week we've used about 30 gallons since Friday morning, so we figure we can go about 2 weeks (with a safety margin) on the water we carry.
Mornings I clean the boat up (make up the berth, so the dishes, pick things up) and Bud usually starts a small project. If the project isn't so small I get involved in that once the other stuff is done. Today Bud epoxied a setscrew to one of our ventilation cowlings. These cowling are like hoods over two vents in our salon. They can be turned either towards the wind, or away from wind and spray as needed. The setscrew holds them in place, and one of the setscrews had broken off. Bud constructed a housing for the setscrew with Marine Tex and then epoxied that back on the cowling. It' seems to have worked.
We also deployed the awning again today. There's quite a bit of wind, but we thought it would still be OK to put it out. It really helps to keep the cockpit cool, which in turn keeps the companionway and the interior cool.
After lunch we decide if we want to go somewhere or do something. Today we decided to come over to Long Island Breeze for the Internet and Bud took the water jugs to Long Island Petroleum for water. 20 gallons of water cost $6.00. Not a bad price for this area. The only problem is there's nowhere to bring the boat up to fill the tanks, so all the water we need will have to be hauled aboard in jugs. That's likely to be the case until we go back to the Georgetown area and the Marina at Emerald Bay. Bud took the water and Fuzzy back to the boat to give me a chance to come inside and get the Internet, because I couldn't get it as I sometimes can down in the breeze-way where Fuzzy is allowed. I took a photo of Bud landing the dinghy here. You can see the deck and the pool, with the dinghy dock beyond.
I need to wind this up so we can finish up at the store and get back to the boat, so I'll post this now. Later we'll feed Fuzzy, take him ashore and eat dinner. Most days I salute sunset with the conch horn. After supper I usually read and Bud soon goes to bed. That's our day.
01/24/2012, Thompson Bay, Long Island
Well, no pictures yet. We didn't get off the boat today except to take Fuzzy to the beach. When we're not moving we take Fuzzy ashore three times a day. When we're sailing, he sometimes misses the early afternoon run ashore.
Anyway, today we tackled setting up a place to hang an extra sacrificial zinc overboard. Zincs are put on boats because zinc is a metal that corrodes easily. The idea is that if there are differences in voltages that are causing light currents through the salt water around your boat, the zinc will erode before any of your metal boat parts do. We cruised for eighteen months from the dock at Tuscarora Yacht Club down the ICW and all through the Bahamas last year on one set of zincs and when the boat was pulled for the engine work last June they were still in pretty good shape. Since we've put the boat back in the water at the end of August we've been through 4 prop zincs and two shaft zincs. We added the galvanic isolator to keep stray AC current from a dock from coming aboard our boat. We had all the electrical systems on the boat checked out. Somehow we are still getting stray current. We never had a complete check on the engine while running, because the electrician from St. Augustine Marine Center was performing his tests when the water hose wore through. He says the new engine is hooked up exactly like the old one so there should not be a problem. There's a problem somewhere. Until we can find it we've decided to do an old cruiser's remedy and hang an extra zinc overboard that we can monitor. We're also hoping that that zinc will take some of the wear, as it can easily be replaced. The problem was finding a way to hook it into our neutral bonding system. We ended up running a wire from one of the seacocks under the bed in the aft berth (that seacock is bonded to all of the underwater metal fittings which are all tied into the engine, the shaft and the bronze grounding plates under the boat) up to a bolt on the new arch. We then clamped a wire to the arch and bolted a zinc on the other end of that wire hanging into the water. Bud zip tied the wire to a thin line so the line and not the wire takes the weight of the zinc. That simple little job took all morning.
After that we pretty much just took it easy for the afternoon. One couple in a dinghy stopped by. We chatted with them for a bit and exchanged boat cards. It was nice to meet someone here. We noticed in the afternoon that another Norseman has come in the harbor. We're pretty sure it's Barefootin'. We met them last year and again at Vero Beach. They are quite a ways away. Tomorrow we'll probably go into the Long Island Breeze and perhaps we'll see if it is them. I'll also get to use the internet there and get some pictures posted, but I didn't even take a picture today. Wires just aren't too interesting.
01/23/2012, Thompson Bay, Long Island
This morning Bud wanted to replace the zinc on the prop. He'd looked at it yesterday when we both went in the water to wash, and he thought it looked pretty worn. So we got out all of his Scuba gear. It took a bit to find it all. Then his regulator wouldn't work correctly, it was leaking air constantly. He was going to try to do the job using just a snorkel, but I suggested he try my regulator, which he did and it worked. So he swapped regulators and suited up and went in. It didn't take too long to replace the zinc and he didn't lose any screws or the Allen wrenches. He did, however, lose the snorkel he was using. His snorkel had broken so he used one of our spares. It didn't fit tightly in his snorkel clamp and after his dive it was missing. He went out with the gear on and looked around, but couldn't find it.
After lunch we decided to try hiking over to the Atlantic side. Bud wanted to try snorkeling for seafood and there were supposed to be reefs and beaches over there. We loaded up the dinghy with Bud's gear and Fuzzy and headed out. I took Fuzzy in the front pack because it's a pretty long dinghy ride to the dock at Long Island Breeze where we were going to start our walk. Also, Fuzzy doesn't do too well on long walks anymore, so we figured he'd probably need to be carried part of the way. And he did. It was less than a mile across the island here (this is a narrow spot, but at most the island is only four miles wide and almost 80 miles long- hence the name). There is a reasonably tall ridge in the middle, and you can see both the Atlantic and the banks from the top. The Atlantic side was beautiful. We came down on a beach that was about three-quarters of a mile long. Not far out in the water a series of fringing reefs started. On a really calm day you could snorkel all day and never cover the same spot twice. Today there was some wind and enough waves to make it hard to snorkel out past the first line of reefs. Bud went on either side of a huge rock formation that sat just offshore about in the middle of the beach. This rock was as big as a two storey house, and very white. Today's picture is Bud walking down the beach towards the rock with his equipment. I'll post it when I have internet again.
While Bud snorkeled Fuzzy and I sat in the shade and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. At least I enjoyed the scenery, Fuzzy was zonked out in the sand. He was sleeping so soundly that I got up and walked away and he didn't notice. I was afraid to go too far, because he might wake up and be confused. Bud came back with no fish, but he'd seen quite a few. He saw a big grouper that he could have speared, but they are out of season here. He saw some yellow tailed snappers, but thought they were too small. He was looking for lion fish, but didn't see those. They are an invasive species here, and you are encouraged to take them. They have poisonous spines, but if you cut those off they are supposed to be good eating. Anyway, he got no fish so we had left-overs for supper. It was a nice afternoon, though.
Saw you weren't able to see any lionfish but just in case, you might be interested in this site with a lot of super recipes : www.lionfishhunter.com. Happy hunting.

Michael, who owns and runs Long Island Breeze, also runs the cruisers net on the VHF radio here. Yesterday he asked for interest in having his place open on Sunday (like everything else in the Bahamas, he's usually closed on Sunday) for the NFL playoff games. I didn't hear any formal poll, but this morning he announced that he would open at 2:30 and stay open for the games.
I mentioned yesterday that he had lost the sand off his beach (well, it's really just the back yard of his resort as there's a wall between it and the bay, but it's supposed to be covered in sand). Some of the cruisers were helping him move sand yesterday, as he has a sprained ankle. They asked if anyone wanted to come in today at 10:30 to continue and we agreed. Then on the morning net someone came on and suggested that cruisers come in at 12:30, shovel sand for a couple of hours and stay for the game. Bud and I had planned to come in at 10:30, in any case we decided to go back to the boat in between sand detail and the game because we wanted to bring Fuzzy in for a while and we couldn't bring him in to the restaurant part where the game would be showing. So we ended up going in at about 11:30. None of the other cruisers were here yet, so Bud worked alone. I helped rake what he had moved in the wheelbarrow, but spent most of the time with Fuzzy. We worked until about 1:30 and then took Fuzzy back. We both went swimming and washed and rinsed with the cockpit shower. The wind is down so the water was clear, but it was chilly. We gave Fuzzy his Prozac early and took off for the Long Island Breeze. Michael gave us our first round of drinks on the house to say thank you for the work. By the time we got back the whole beach area was finished. I took a couple of photos that I'll post in the gallery.
It's now the third quarter of the Baltimore-New England game. Michael has a good crowd here. At one point Bud counted 50 people. I tried to capture the mood with this photo. There are groups of people all over and computers everywhere, as you do need to come ashore here to use the computer. Most people seem to know folks in other boats, but these are all new people to us. We each have an order of grouper fingers and fries coming. We were going to have pizza, but they sold out. We're glad to see him doing so well, as this is a bit off the beaten track (although it seems to be gaining in popularity) and Michael and his wife are really nice and we'd like to see the place prosper. Anyway, I'm going to post this now, while I can. We'll be here a few days and I'll probably only post from here every second or third day, as I don't like to haul the computer ashore. So if you miss the photos, check back, I'll be adding them.

Even with an already starry cast that will feature the actors playing multiple roles, it seems there is still room for one more in The Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer's "Cloud Atlas," as Variety report that James D'Arcy has boarded the film.
Adapted from the complex novel by David Mitchell, the story follows six plot threads across time—a 19th century notary on a Pacific expedition, a bisexual musician in the 1930s, a female journalist in a thriller in 1970s California, an aging publisher in London in the present, a clone in a futuristic dystopia, and a Pacific survivor in a post-apocalyptic world—all of which fold in on themselves. The directors will be working in a unique fashion, with each filmmaking team shooting in parallel to one another with their own units. Tykwer is expected to take on the period portions of the story, with The Wachowskis tackling the futuristic material.
D'Arcy has been working steadily and is a familiar character actor, but not quite yet a bonafide star. This turn should certainly help in boosting his profile. You'll likely see him next in Madonna's infamous "W.E." later this year playing King Edward VIII. There is no word yet on the role(s) he has in "Cloud Atlas."
Tom Hanks, Hugo Weaving, Ben Whishaw, Halle Berry, Susan Sarandon, Jim Broadbent, Bae Doona, Jim Sturgess and Hugh Grant are all on board for the film that is currently lensing in Berlin. No release date yet but the project is eyeing an October 2012 bow.

|Human development index
Seven years after civil war erupted in Côte d'Ivoire, it was not known how many of the over 700,000 people who had fled were still displaced at the end of 2009. Almost all IDPs were hosted by friends and family, and there were no country-wide mechanisms to monitor returns. In mid-2009, the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) used a figure of approximately 42,000 IDPs in the west of the country where monitoring mechanisms were in place.
The politicisation of ethnicity during the economic decline of the 1990s had caused escalating tensions and eventually armed conflict which led the country to be split between the south under government control and the north held by the rebels of the Forces Nouvelles ("New Forces"). Thousands of civilians, especially government and public sector employees, left the north to seek shelter in the south, mostly within the economic capital Abidjan. Meanwhile, in the western "cocoa belt" of Moyen Cavally and Dix-huit Montagnes, tensions over land between indigenous communities and economic migrants escalated and caused massive displacement.
The 2007 Ouagadougou Peace Agreement gave IDPs real hope for an end to their displacement. However, the process has since suffered from delays in its implementation, including the repeated postponement of national elections. In 2009, the country was still divided between a government-controlled south and a centre-north where Forces Nouvelles members were still performing administrative duties despite the re-deployment of government administrators. At the end of the year, it was not clear whether the benefits of implementing the Ouagadougou Agreement outweighed the existing incentives for all parties to maintain the current situation of "neither war nor peace".
In 2009, new displacement occurred in the west, due to land disputes and inter-communal tensions which sometimes followed the return of IDPs. Ongoing tensions over land and property also stopped many people returning. Attacks and armed robberies continued in 2009, especially along highways in the west, despite the deployment of joint government and Forces Nouvelles patrols. Displaced women and girls were particularly vulnerable to the widespread threat of sexual violence.
Accessing the basic necessities of life has proved difficult in areas of displacement and return, for IDPs and host communities. Social services are inadequate or absent, particularly in the north and west, and food insecurity is high where displacement has interrupted agricultural cycles. Displaced women and girls have more frequently had to resort to prostitution as a means to ensure they and their family have some income.
Return has been the only option promoted so far by the government. Return movements have mostly been spontaneous, but some IDPs have received support to return from both government and national and international agencies. No data is available on IDPs who may have integrated in the place to which they were displaced or successfully settled in another area. Until solutions are found to guarantee equal access to land and land ownership, address rampant criminality and human rights abuses and the prevalent impunity of perpetrators, the attainment of durable solutions is still a distant prospect.
The restitution of IDPs' property and access to their land remains politically charged; in the north there are concerns about restitution of property illegally occupied or taken by members of the Forces Nouvelles, and in the west land has been occupied by people who remained in villages, by other IDPs or by newly-arrived migrant workers. With the government set on the implementation of the 1998 Rural Land Law as the only legal framework available to settle disputes in rural areas, the specific impact on IDPs should be considered to avoid unintended discrimination.
In 2009, the humanitarian community decided to focus on IDP protection and resettlement in the west, and nutrition and food security in the north. In 2009, OCHA started pulling out of Man and Zou in western Côte d'Ivoire as part of its strategy to gradually reduce its country programme. Meanwhile, international donors prioritised development assistance, in line with the country's Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper. The UN Humanitarian Coordinator set up a local transitional fund to bridge the gap between decreasing humanitarian funding and anticipated development funding, but by the end of 2009 no donors had contributed.
The Ministry of Solidarity and War Victims is the government's focal point on IDP issues. Its impact is limited by the lack of coordination within the government, institutional support and funding. Although a national legal framework upholding the rights of IDPs was still not finalised in 2009, Côte d'Ivoire was among the countries which signed the Kampala Convention.

- Govt nets a cool Rs 61k cr from spectrum auctionTelecom stocks gain after mobile spectrum auctionVeerappa Moily bats for Reliance Industries' Mukesh Ambani over taint ordered by Arvind KejriwalNow, Arvind Kejriwal govt ropes in Narendra Modi into Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries gas price case
Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd today said it is has emerged as the biggest holder of liberalised spectrum after acquiring radiowaves in 14 out of 22 service areas for around Rs 11,054 crore in the latest round of auction that ended on Thursday.
"With this acquisition, Reliance Jio will be the holder of the largest quantum of liberalised spectrum and with the longest residual spectrum life," Reliance Industries (RIL) Ltd Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani said in a statement.
A liberalised spectrum regime allows companies the flexibility to provide services of their choice - voice, data, and video - in the alloted bands.
The company also highlighted that it has acquired spectrum at lower price compared to high rates paid by leading telecom companies in the premium 900 Mhz band.
"RJIL has acquired the 1800 MHz spectrum at 31 per cent premium to reserve price. Winning bidders of the 900 MHz spectrum paid between 55 to 110 per cent premium over the reserve price," the statement said.
Vodafone put in bids worth Rs 11,261 crore to win 900 MHz band in the three metros; Bharti Airtel won 900 MHz for about Rs 8,624 and Idea Cellular Ltd for Rs 3,705 crore. Mobile signals transmitted in 900 Mhz band spectrum provide wider coverage than the signals in 1800 Mhz band.
However, companies have started using 1800 Mhz for high speed 4G data services. Earlier, the band was used for 2G technologies that were deployed predominantly for providing voice services.
RJio acquired a minimum of 5 Mhz spectrum in 1800 Mhz band in each of the 14 circles, besides 440 Mhz of radiowaves held by it in the 2300 Mhz. With fresh purchase, RJio's now holds 597.6 MHz of spectrum.
The company said it will use both these frequency bands for providing 4G services comprising both mobile Internet as well as voice calls.
"RJIL is deploying an enhanced packet core network to create futuristic high capacity infrastructure to handle huge demand for data and voice. In addition to high speed data, the 4G network will provide voice services from/to non-RJIL networks," the statement said.
The company said it will deploy both prevalent technology for 4G services, FDD-LTE on 1800 MHz and TDD-LTE on 2300 MHz.
On 4G enabled devices, the company said there are several mobile phones available that have the capability to operate both TD-LTE and FD-LTE

If you are one of these: a college student in your second degree year, a fresh graduate just starting out on your new job venture or a newlywed building a nest for yourself and your spouse, then odds are, you're confronted with the fresh dilemma of finding a house or an apartment to rent.
The process is tedious. There are so many places to look into and so many ways to do it that sometimes, the task is daunting to even the most confident of people, especially when it is the first time that they are embarking on this 'adventure'.
Well, here are some things you should know before renting a house or an apartment.
Part One: Looking for the house/apartment
1. Your Budget
Before you start cracking open those newspapers or going online to those search engines, you need to know what your budget is. Take into account how much your income is and work it out.
The general rule is that you should not be paying more than 30% of the total of your household income.
If you're a single college student or fresh graduate, you might want to consider looking for roommates in order to lessen your financial burden. If you're married, take into account both of your incomes.
That would widen the scope a bit more for you to find something that fits your budget.
2. What to search for
Another thing to do before the actual search is to determine what your requirements are. What kind of location are you looking at? Does it need to be near your place of study/work? Do you want a house or an apartment?
What facilities do you want? Car park? Gym? Swimming Pool? Are you looking to rent an empty house or a furnished one? Do you need a house that allows pets? How many bedrooms would you like?
These are all things that you really need to take into account, so that your future home will be one tat is comfortable and convenient for you.
3. Where to start searching
Newspapers still have the classified ads these days so you can start there, if you want.
However, in this day and age, searching for houses is made much easier, what with the presence of search engines, or, better yet, property websites such as hartanah.net.
With these, you can specify your search instead of having to look through each and every property, some which may not even be within your means or wants at all.
Besides searching, you could also let your house find you. We've already mentioned the importance of listing down your requirements.
Well, those can be used to place a 'wanted' ad. Websites like hartanah.net allows for you to put in an ad where you list down exactly what type of house you are looking to rent, and literally let it find you.
Will continue with part 2: Looking at potential houses

Maintenance Engineering works to produce scoping documents and develops
plans for a numerous amounts of important projects. This portion
of the Maintenance Department also details specifications and estimates
on a variety of highway projects such as:
Maintenance Engineering also includes a sub-division
called Maintenance Engineering Support. This branch of Maintenance
Engineering provides valuable guidance for the San Diego and Imperial
county district on Maintenance issues. The division works hard on
projects that include:
Developing Maintenance Agreements
Managing Structures Maintenance work requests.
Performing emergency investigations
Assessing storm damage
Minor Projects is a division of the Maintenance Department that
is responsible for any project with a cost of less than $750,000.
These projects generally come from the office of Design are awarded
to the lowest qualified bidder.
The Minor Projects Program is divided into two distinct types of
projects. Both Minor A and Minor B projects differ in the processes
they follow for design, advertising, and cost. However, both provide
vital work for the safety of our highways and freeways.
The Maintenance Minor A Department is involved in any projects ranging
from $120,000 to $750,000. The projects follow the same process
for design and advertisement as major construction projects however,
they generally require a project report. Minor A projects are designed
in the District and sent to Caltrans Headquarters in Sacramento
for preparation of the construction contract and advertising. Its
projects are very important to the quality of freeway and highway
operations. Minor A usually performs tasks such as:
The Caltrans Minor B Department is responsible for all projects
under $120,000. Minor B projects, unlike minor A, do not require
a Project Report. Like Minor A projects however, Minor B projects
are also designed in the District but the design package is sent
to the Office of Procurement and Contracts in Irvine for advertising
rather than to Sacramento. This transaction makes the processing
time for Minor B projects is generally much quicker than Minor A
projects. Minor B work includes vital projects that assure the stability
and safety of San Diego and Imperial county's state freeways and
highways including:
Drainage improvements.
Intersection improvements.
Electrical upgrades.
Minor landscape improvements.
Barrier installations.
