Economic and Social Council
|15 March 1996
|Original: ENGLISH
1. At its forty-ninth session, the Commission on Human Rights adopted resolution 1993/2 A, of 19 February 1993, entitled "Question of the violation of human rights in the occupied Arab territories, including Palestine".
2. In paragraph 4 of that resolution, the Commission decided to appoint a special rapporteur with the following mandate:
"(a) To investigate Israel's violations of the principles and bases of international law, international humanitarian law and the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, of 12 August 1949, in the Palestinian territories occupied by Israel since 1967;
"(b) To receive communications, to hear witnesses, and to use such modalities of procedure as he may deem necessary for his mandate;
"(c) To report, with his conclusions and recommendations, to the Commission on Human Rights at its future sessions, until the end of the Israeli occupation of those territories."
3. At its 44th plenary meeting, on 28 July 1993, the Economic and Social Council adopted decision 1993/253, in which it approved Commission resolution1993/2 A.
4. On 13 September 1993, the Chairman of the Commission on Human Rights appointed Mr. René Felber (Switzerland) as Special Rapporteur. Mr. Felber presented reports to the Commission at its fiftieth and fifty-first sessions (E/CN.4/1994/14 and E/CN.4/1995/19 respectively). After presenting his second report to the Commission, Mr. Felber resigned as Special Rapporteur on 9 February 1995.
5. In a letter dated 18 April 1995, the Chairman of the Commission on Human Rights at its fifty first session, after consultations with the Bureau, informed the Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights of his decision to appoint Mr. Hannu Halinen (Finland) as Special Rapporteur. The appointment of the Special Rapporteur has been brought to the attention of the Government of Israel by the Chairman of the Commission on Human Rights.
6. In keeping with the general philosophy guiding the approach of the special rapporteurs of the Commission on Human Rights to the discharge of their mandates, the Special Rapporteur did not see his role as accusatory, but rather as having the objective of establishing a meaningful and constructive dialogue with all the parties concerned in overcoming problems having to do with issues relating to his mandate.
7. In embarking on his mandate, the Special Rapporteur was aware of the important political developments in the peace process between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) that were initiated by the signing of the Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-government Arrangements in Washington on 13 September 1993. The political process was enhanced further by the signing in Cairo, on 4 May 1994, of the Israel-PLO Agreement on the Gaza Strip and Jericho Area, which was followed by the establishment of the Palestinian Authority there. The signing on 28 September 1995 in Washington of the Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement on the West Bank and Gaza Strip broadened Palestinian self-government in the West Bank and marked the end of the first stage of negotiations between Israel and the PLO. In pursuance of the Interim Agreement, elections for the Palestinian Council were held on 20 January 1996.
8. In a letter addressed to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Israel, the Special Rapporteur stated that he believed that the exercise of his mandate should help to contribute to the peace process that began with the signing of the historic agreements in Washington and Cairo. In order to carry out his mandate in the most impartial and objective manner, he thought it extremely important to know the views of the Israeli authorities in order to enable him to present a comprehensive report to the Commission on Human Rights based on the most up-to-date and accurate information available. As an initial step, he requested to meet with the Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations Office at Geneva and asked to benefit from the cooperation of the Government of Israel with a view to carrying out a visit to Israel and the occupied territories. A letter with similar content was sent to the Permanent Representative of Israel.
9. On 14 November 1995, the Permanent Representative of Israel addressed a letter to the Chairman of the Commission on Human Rights, expressing the serious reservations of the Government of Israel about the Special Rapporteur's mandate. The letter stated that, unlike the mandates of all other "geographical" special rapporteurs, which are on a one-year basis and subject to renewal, the mandate in resolution 1993/2 A was open-ended. The Permanent Representative expressed the view that, at a time when the Middle East peace process was advancing and the Palestinian Authority taking full responsibility for self-government in the West Bank, in addition to Gaza and Jericho, it was inconceivable that the Special Rapporteur's mandate should remain unchanged. In the light of the above, the Special Rapporteur was informed that Israel was not in a position to receive him.
10. The Special Rapporteur regrets the lack of cooperation on part of the Government of Israel regarding his mandate for certain reasons of principle, whereas the objective of the Special Rapporteur is to be helpful in addressing problems whose existence not even Israel denies and suggesting solutions to them by establishing a constructive dialogue with all sides aimed at overcoming them.
11. The Special Rapporteur met with representatives of non-governmental organizations and received written information from Governments, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations as well as individuals.
12. The Special Rapporteur availed himself of the opportunity afforded when a Palestinian delegation came to the meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos at the beginning of February 1996 to meet with the President of the Palestinian Authority, Yasser Arafat. On that occasion, Mr. Arafat invited the Special Rapporteur to visit Gaza.
13. Given the proximity of the upcoming session of the Commission on Human Rights, the Special Rapporteur decided to carry out a short visit to Gaza from 2 to 4 March 1996, together with a staff member from the Centre for Human Rights of the United Nations Secretariat.
14. During his visit to Gaza, the Special Rapporteur met with the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mr. Arafat, and discussed issues relating to his mandate. He also availed himself of the opportunity of being in Gaza to acquaint himself with the situation there. The Special Rapporteur met with the Ministers of Economy, Planning and International Cooperation, Health, Labour and Social Affairs of the Palestinian Authority as well as with a number of newly elected members of the Palestinian Council. He also met with the Presidential Adviser on Human Rights as well as with representatives of non-governmental and humanitarian organizations. In addition, the Special Rapporteur met with Mr. Terje Larsen, United Nations Special Coordinator in the Occupied Territories.
15. The Special Rapporteur wishes to express his appreciation to Mr. Arafat and the Palestinian Authority for the cooperation extended to him in the course of the mission.
16. The Special Rapporteur expresses his sincere gratitude to the United Nations Special Coordinator in the Occupied Territories and the staff of his Office for the most efficient logistical and other support provided to the mission at very short notice.
26. Closures weaken further the already fragile Palestinian institutions, which are suffering from the adverse effects of the occupation and require the establishment or reconstruction of the civil, political, economic, social and cultural infrastructure. Closures severely disrupt all aspects of the daily lives of Palestinians living under direct Israeli rule and those living in the self-rule areas.
27. The recent suicide bomb attacks in Israel by Palestinian extremists opposed to the peace process have prompted the Israeli authorities to intensify a number of measures against the Palestinian population of the occupied territories that remains under its rule. In addition to the closure, another immediate effect of the security incidents were the mass arrests of persons suspected of affiliation with the Hamas and Islamic Jihad movements, which are believed to be extrajudicial in nature. Arrests have reportedly also been made on the basis of family connections to perpetrators of security attacks. A number of houses belonging to the families of persons who carried out bomb attacks have been sealed and one has been demolished. Other demolitions have been foreseen. Also, a curfew was imposed on the community near Hebron from where two of the suicide bombers originated. It is believed that the recent wave of arrests will entail increased use of administrative detention without charge or trial, whose maximum period was extended in 1995 from six months to one year, renewable. The security concerns of both Israel and the Palestinian Authority have placed overwhelming pressure on the Palestinian Authority to maintain order and the security of both parties in areas under its control. Over 600 arrests are reported to have taken place in areas under the control of the Palestinian Authority. It has been reported that alleged Islamic activists have been arrested extrajudicially on a massive scale. It has also been reported that the Palestinian Authority has arrested family members of wanted persons who could not be located. Prisoners and detainees
28. In view of the mass arrests that have been carried out in the wake of the recent suicide bomb attacks in Israel, fears have been expressed that both Israel and the Palestinian Authority may be subjecting detainees to torture and ill-treatment. In Israel, many of the persons arrested are reported to be held incommunicado for long periods, during which secret internal guidelines for interrogation may be applied by the General Security Service (GSS). The Special Rapporteur was informed that GSS systematically uses interrogation methods that constitute torture and ill-treatment. Such methods of interrogation have been described as including sleep deprivation, hooding, beating, position abuse and violent shaking that provokes potentially fatal movements of the head. Since October 1994, these guidelines, which allow for "a moderate measure of physical pressure" as well as psychological pressure, have allowed for harsher interrogation methods. Exceptional dispensations of this nature were prolonged on 22 January 1996. The practices described above violate articles 27 (1), 31 and 32 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The Special Rapporteur has received disturbing information that persons arrested in the areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority have also been subjected to torture and mistreatment, in contravention of internationally recognized human rights standards. Human rights violations were not denied by the representatives of the Palestinian Authority with whom the Special Rapporteur met. In fact, existing problems were very openly discussed in those meetings.
29. It has been reported that there are currently some 3,500 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention facilities. Many have been transferred from prisons in the occupied territories to Israel, in violation of article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. Within the framework of the implementation of the peace agreements between Israel and the PLO, 889 prisoners were released in October 1995 and some 950 were released in January 1996 prior to the elections for the Palestinian Council. However, 29 female prisoners continue to be detained in Israeli detention centres, in contravention of the Interim Agreement. The Special Rapporteur was informed that a large number of those released were common law prisoners and those nearing the end of their sentence.Land confiscation and settlements
30. The Special Rapporteur's attention was drawn to the continued policy of confiscation of Palestinian-owned land in spite of the peace process and in breach of article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The expropriated land is used mostly for the expansion of existing Israeli settlements and the building of bypass roads around them, which cantonizes Arab population areas in the occupied territories. The Special Rapporteur was informed that Israel still controls some 40 per cent of land in the Gaza Strip in and around the settlements and the military installations maintained for their protection. The presence of settlements raises tension in the area and leads to outbursts of violence.
31. The continuation of the peace process is the best guarantee that human rights in the area covered by the Special Rapporteur's mandate will be respected. The Special Rapporteur is of the opinion that he can contribute constructively to the peace process and the establishment of democracy in the areas covered by his mandate by facilitating concrete steps aimed at improving the situation of human rights.
32. A new situation has been engendered by the peace process, where Israelis and Palestinians move from confrontation to reconciliation. Only dialogue can ensure true and lasting peace in the region, for which the cooperation of both parties is essential. Democracy, peaceful relations and respect for human rights and humanitarian law are conducive to the exploitation of the Middle East's development potential that can result in prosperity for all the peoples of the region. Economic development is also essential for political stability and peace.
33. The Special Rapporteur strongly condemns acts of violence aimed at derailing the peace process. The perpetrators of such acts should be condemned by the international community as a whole in no uncertain terms. No one has the right to condone the arbitrary killing of innocent victims, and the Special Rapporteur expresses sympathy with their families. While measures preventing such criminal acts are necessary, so are measures preventing violations of human rights. In addressing their security concerns, Israel and the Palestinian Authority should bear in mind the human rights consequences of their security policy: the measures undertaken have to be compatible with respect for human rights. The halting of terrorism cannot be carried out at the expense of human rights. The terrorist attacks and the measures taken to counter them are no doubt setbacks in this context. Reconciliation is, regrettably, not yet irreversible. A way out of the vicious circle of violence and repression has to be found. Upholding law and order should not in any way replace strict adherence to the rule of law.
34. Israel should reconsider its policy of full-scale closure and other indiscriminate measures amounting to collective punishment imposed on the occupied territories. When applying measures that restrict the enjoyment of human rights, the principles of necessity and proportionality should be taken into consideration.
35. The confidence-building measures described in article XVI of the Interim Agreement, involving the release of Palestinian detainees and prisoners, including women, should be implemented without delay.
36. The use of torture, whether by Israelis or Palestinians, should be absolutely prohibited. Allegations of torture should be investigated by independent judicial organs and those responsible prosecuted. As recommended by the United Nations Committee against Torture, an immediate end should be put to current interrogation practices and all victims of such practices should be granted access to appropriate rehabilitation and compensation measures. It recommended that interrogation procedures be published in full so that they are both transparent and seen to be consistent with the standards of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
37. All persons placed in administrative detention by the Government of Israel should be brought to a fair trial or released. Trials should be held in conformity with international standards for fairness, with due process safeguards.
38. The confiscation of Palestinian-owned land and the construction or expansion of settlements should be halted immediately.
39. Human rights violations perpetrated in areas under the control of the Palestinian Authority have not been denied by its representatives and have been referred to in discussions. The protection and promotion of human rights is a general responsibility. It is essential that the Special Rapporteur be able to study and report about the situation of human rights in a comprehensive, forward-looking and action-oriented way. The situation on the ground, particularly vis-à-vis the peace process, has to be reflected appropriately in the mandate of the Special Rapporteur. The Special Rapporteur expresses satisfaction that this fact has been understood by the Palestinian Authority, which has promised him full cooperation in reviewing the mandate accordingly. The Special Rapporteur cannot be effective in his work without the full cooperation of the Government of Israel. The responsibility of improving the human rights situation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip lies with both Israel and the Palestinian Authority, which should apply all the principles of human rights and humanitarian law. Israel, as the occupying Power, continues to have special obligations under the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, of 12 August 1949.
40. The Special Rapporteur invites the Commission on Human Rights to consider amending his mandate in accordance with the foregoing.
41. In view of the complexity of applicable laws in areas under the Palestinian Authority, it would be important that the international legal standards enshrined in international human rights instruments be incorporated into domestic legislation by the newly elected Palestinian Council.
42. The complex situation in the Middle East highlights the need for the establishment of a new human rights culture. Human rights are an integral part of democracy and development as well as of peace and security. Broadening the awareness and understanding of human rights is a major task, particularly in times of high tension and deep suspicion. There is no alternative, however. Without respect for human rights, there can be no lasting peace, no sustainable development or democracy. The Centre for Human Rights and the Special Rapporteur are prepared to make their contribution, together with other organizations and partners. Donor countries and agencies have responded commendably in supporting the peace process. This process is now challenged in an unprecedented way and it is in need of all the support it can obtain. The United Nations Special Coordinator in the Occupied Territories and his Office are doing admirable work in mobilizing and organizing international support for Palestinians. The Centre for Human Rights should accelerate the implementation of programmes of advisory services and technical assistance to complement the work of the Special Coordinator.
43. Exceptional circumstances require new approaches. Instead of repeating accusations over and over again, an attempt should be made to create a concrete, action-oriented human rights strategy for the Palestinian territories. This would require the support of all partners and in particular the full participation of both Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The fact needs to be stated that there are violations of human rights by both sides. It appears indispensable that the role of the Special Rapporteur be reviewed so as to enable him to make a more action-oriented contribution to the protection and promotion of human rights in the area. This would entail addressing human rights problems in a comprehensive and integrated manner with a view to finding the most effective ways and means to prevent their escalation and to advance overall respect for human rights.

SRINAGAR: Bolstered by the clean sweep on all the four legislative council seats, the NC-Congress coalition is exploring the possibilities of a pre-poll alliance. While Omar Abdullah has been publicly proposing the idea and Congressmen disposing it, union minister Dr Farooq Abdullah put a lid on the controversy by suggesting he will personally take it up with Congress High Command.
"Though the Working Committee meeting was more about celebrating the victory but there were meek references towards a possibility of an alliance," an NC leader who attended the meeting said. "It was in this backdrop that Dr Farooq Abdullah said he will personally take up the issue with the Congress High Command. That is it."

In 2007, when MTAS happened, I didn't think I'd get a job. I decided to apply to South Africa and got offered a job there. I've never been there, but it seemed rather good fun.
So I brought this book to find more about it. I never went though. It stands on my book shelf as a monument to what might have been.

Course Structure
We look to respond flexibly to what students wish to study in the Sixth Form, and if there is sufficient interest in the IB, a programme we rate highly, then we will look to provide it.
The IB Diploma Programme is an alternative to the A Level Programme. It encapsulates everything we strive to achieve with our pupils at Hurst: as well as studying 6 subjects, there is a core comprising a course in the Theory of Knowledge, a CAS programme made up of Creativity, Action and Service, and an Extended Essay.
All subjects involve an element of coursework and there are external examinations in May of the Upper Sixth year. Results are published early in July and, where necessary, examinations can be re-taken in the November or May of the year following completion of the course.
Students choose six subjects in total, three at Higher Level and three at Standard Level, including one subject from each of the following five groups:
1. English Literature or German Language and Literature
2. English, French, Spanish, German, Latin
3. History, Geography, Economics, Psychology, Philosophy
4. Physics, Chemistry, Biology
5. Mathematics or Mathematical Studies
Environmental Systems and Societies is a course covering both groups 3 and 4, giving students the ability to have a free choice for both their fifth and sixth subjects. The sixth subject is either another subject from groups 1-4 or a creative subject chosen from Music, Visual Arts and Theatre. The College cannot guarantee that every combination of subjects will be possible. A bilingual certification is awarded to students who study German in group 1.
A printed version of our IB prospectus is also available. To order your copy now,

The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (Hardcover)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time
When she was only twenty-three, Carson McCullers's first novel created a literary sensation. She was very special, one of America's superlative writers who conjures up a vision of existence as terrible as it is real, who takes us on shattering voyages into the depths of the spiritual isolation that underlies the human condition. This novel is the work of a supreme artist, Carson McCullers's enduring masterpiece. The heroine is the strange young girl, Mick Kelly. The setting is a small Southern town, the cosmos universal and eternal. The characters are the damned, the voiceless, the rejected. Some fight their loneliness with violence and depravity, some with sex or drink, and some like Mick with a quiet, intensely personal search for beauty.
About the Author
Carson McCullers (1917-1967) was the author of numerous works of fiction and nonfiction, including The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, The Member of the Wedding, Reflections in a Golden Eye, and Clock Without Hands. Born in Columbus, Georgia, on February 19, 1917, she became a promising pianist and enrolled in the Juilliard School of Music in New York when she was seventeen, but lacking money for tuition, she never attended classes. Instead she studied writing at Columbia University, which ultimately led to The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, the novel that made her an overnight literary sensation. On September 29, 1967, at age fifty, she died in Nyack, New York, where she is buried.

Walk Away From eHarmony and Head to Brinkley's Tomorrow Night
Singles, listen up.
Everybody knows that Brinkley's pretty much exists for the sake of getting
laid phone numbers. So why should Valentine's Day be any different? Tomorrow night, singles can head there for a bit of speed dating starting at 10 p.m. Ladies even get free Champagne with dinner. It's certainly a more civilized option than flirtatiously eating pierogies in a Russian steam bath. Good luck, pretties. More info here.

I am considering using my annual REI dividend toward the purchase of a new Dahon Speed D7.
This will be my first folding bike, but the design seems perfect for use on Light Rail and potentially for air travel to allow greater mobility when I travel for work, but don't rent a car.
In reviewing the online information for this bike I notice that it comes with a rear rack. It will be a little while before I can get to REI to check out the bike. I am planning on using this bike with my Arkel 2011 BUG backpack/pannier.
Does anyone have/used both and does the pannier fit the bike? Did you have a problem with heel strike?


text: Cal Athletics Cal Announces 2014 Recruiting Class Six All-Americans highlight 22-player class By Cal Athletics on Wed, February 05, 2014 Related Links Cal Football: Signing Day 2014 - Highlights Signing Day Central Bear Blog: Dykes Talks Signing Day @CalCoachDykes @CalFootball Spring Game Schedule Tickets Sonny Dykes Signing Day Press Conference Quotes BERKELEY – Head coach Sonny Dykes announced Cal's 22-player 2014 recruiting class Wednesday on National Signing Day. Highlighted by six prep All-Americans, the group also includes six student-athletes previously announced December 18. "We are proud of this class and the work that our coaching and support staffs put in to get it together," Dykes said. "We went and competed against some really good football programs for the players in this recruiting class." The class is highlighted by six prep All-Americans invited to play in post-season All-American bowls following their 2013 senior seasons in WR Erik Brown (Fontana, CA/Summit HS), ATH Devante Downs (Mountlake Terrace, WA/Mountlake Terrace HS), RB Vic Enwere (Missouri City, TX/Fort Bend Austin HS), LB Chandler Leniu (Lakewood, CA/St. John Bosco HS), QB Luke Rubenzer (Scottsdale, AZ/Saguaro HS) and RB Tre Watson (Corona, CA/Centennial HS). Brown and Leniu played in the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl following their senior seasons, while Enwere and Rubenzer were in the Blue-Grey All-American Bowl with all four making significant contributions to winning teams. Downs (U.S. Army All-American Bowl) and Watson (Offense-Defense All-American Bowl) did not play in the games they were selected for due to injury. Leniu, Rubenzer and Watson were also honorable mention Parade All-Americans. Brown had the top recruiting ratings in the class, earning five stars from PrepStarSoCal and four from each of the other primary recruiting services. Downs, Leniu and Watson were all four-star recruits. Rubenzer and Watson were record setters, while Enwere and Leniu joined them in posting huge numbers. Rubenzer was Arizona's Gatorade Player of the Year for football after setting a national high school record for career completion percentage (496-of-689, 71.9%) and Arizona state career records for passing yards (9,645) and touchdown passes (132) while throwing only 13 interceptions. He also passed for Arizona state single-season records of 4,201 yards and 61 touchdowns with just three picks as a senior, completing 227-of-308 passes (73.7%). Watson was a first-team All-State selection in his senior campaign after registering a single-season school record with 3,734 rushing yards and tying another with 50 touchdowns on the ground. He led all California players in both rushing yards and attempts (417), ranking second nationally in both categories. Watson finished his career with 5,244 rushing yards and 72 touchdowns on the ground. Enwere combined to rush for 3,091 yards during his junior and senior campaigns, and Leniu finished his career with 526 tackles including 238 as a senior to rank third in California and sixth nationally. Rubenzer won three state titles (2010, 2011, 2013), while Leniu was on a state championship team as a senior that finished 16-0 and knocked off perennial power De La Salle in the final. Watson's teams combined for a 52-8 overall record and a 24-0 Big VIII League mark during his four varsity seasons, winning Southern Section Inland Division titles three of four campaigns. "You want to recruit winning players from winning programs," Dykes said. "You go right down the list with these guys and they've all been on quality football teams. Anytime you can add players to your program that have been successful at a high level, know what it's like to be successful, and know what it takes to win that's a positive." "Ultimately what makes you a good football team is your ability to be productive," Dykes added. "When you look at the numbers many of these guys have produced against high quality competition, for those guys to be able to do that at the level they produced against the competition they produced it against is the most important thing." Three members of the class – Brown (No. 154 247Sports Composite, No. 181 ESPN), Downs (No. 181 247Sports, No. 206 ESPN, No. 323 247Sports Composite) and Leniu (No. 201 Rivals, No. 498 247Sports Composite) – ranked among the nation's top 500 prep players overall in the 2014 class by at least one recruiting service. Five players have prep positional rankings among the top 25 nationally, including Brown (No. 24 wide receiver – ESPN), Downs (No. 6 fullback – Scout; No. 12 outside linebacker, 247Sports; No. 23 athlete – Rivals), Leniu (No. 11 insider linebacker, Rivals; No. 12 middle linebacker – Scout), Rubenzer (No. 13 dual-threat quarterback – Rivals) and OL Michael Trani (La Mirada, CA/La Mirada HS; No. 11 center – Scout) CB Darius White (Grenada, MS/Itawamba Community College/Grenada HS) boasts the top rating among the six junior college transfers as the nation's No. 1 JC cornerback in the recruiting class of 2014 according to JC Gridiron. LB Sam Atoe (Windsor, CA/College of San Mateo/Maria Carrillo HS) is listed as the nation's No. 4 safety by JC Gridiron, DE Jonathan Johnson the No. 6 weak-side defensive end by 247Sports Composite, DT Trevor Kelly (South San Francisco, CA/College of San Mateo/Sacramento State) the No. 6 defensive tackle by JC Gridiron, DT David Davis (Palos Verdes Estates, CA/Long Beach City College/Washington State/Palos Verdes HS) the No. 23 defensive tackle by ESPN and OL Dominic Granado (Huntington Beach, CA/Golden West College/Edison HS) the No. 24 offensive tackle by ESPN. Cal's class is currently ranked as high as No. 43 nationally by Scout, while the Bears check in at No. 45 according to Rivals, and No. 48 by both MaxPreps and 247Sports. Rankings are subject to change. All told, Cal's 21-player class includes 11 defensive players, nine on the offensive side of the ball and one athlete. Others on the defensive side of the ball include LB Hamilton Anoa'i (San Mateo, CA/Serra HS), DE Kennedy Emesibe (Hesperia, CA/Oak Hills HS), LB John Porchivina (Petaluma, CA/Casa Grande HS), S Quentin Tartabull (Mission Hills, CA/Bishop Alemany HS), LB Aiesa Tongilava (Santa Ana, CA/Orange Lutheran HS) and DE Noah Westerfield (Frisco, TX/Wakeland HS). OL Kamryn Bennett (Peoria, AZ/Centennial HS), WR Trevor Davis (Martinez, CA/Hawai'i/Alhambra HS) and QB Chase Forrest (Santa Ana, CA/Mater Dei HS) round out the offensive recruits. The Bears did not sign a specialist in the class but senior LS John Sheperdson has been awarded a scholarship. Cal's signing class has 15 players from California, while two hail from both Arizona and Texas, and one each from Mississippi, Pennsylvania and Washington. "California is our home and recruiting always begins in your own backyard," Dykes said. "We have to continue to make inroads in the Bay Area. It starts there and extends to Southern California and all over the state. It makes sense to do that, but we also have to branch out some. I thought we had some good success in places like Arizona and Texas, and I think we'll continue to become a bigger brand in those areas as we have a little more success." Cal spring football practice sessions at Kabam Field at California Memorial Stadium will begin the week of March 31 and conclude with the 2014 Cal Football Spring Game to be televised live by the Pac-12 Networks on Saturday, April 26 (11 a.m. PT). Admission is free for the annual event that gives thousands of Cal fans a rare opportunity to meet and greet Golden Bear football players and coaches following the game. Former Cal football players have attended the event in the past, including the 2013 contest when NFL All-Pro and Super Bowl XLVIII winner Marshawn Lynch made a surprise appearance. A series of activities in conjunction with the 2014 spring game and practices will be announced at a later time, along with the remainder of the team's 2014 spring football schedule. Cal's 2014 football regular-season schedule features six games at Kabam Field at California Memorial Stadium and a Friday match-up against Oregon that will be the first collegiate football game at the new Levi's® Stadium in Santa Clara on Oct. 24. Cal will host Sacramento State (Sept. 6), Colorado (Sept. 27), Washington (Oct. 11, Alumni & Family Weekend/Homecoming), UCLA (Oct. 18), Stanford (Nov. 22) and BYU (Nov. 29) in Berkeley. The Bears visit Northwestern (Aug. 31), Arizona (Sept. 20), Washington State (Oct. 4), Oregon State (Nov. 1) and USC (Nov. 13), with the tilt against the Trojans on a Thursday night. Current season ticket holders can renew their tickets until the deadline of Friday, Feb. 21. Fans looking to become new season-ticket holders for 2014 can place a $100 per seat deposit now. Visit CalBears.com or call (800) GO-BEARS for more information or to purchase season tickets. Following Cal's Signing Day activities, the Pac-12 Networks will air a two-hour show Wednesday beginning at 4:30 p.m. PT, which will recap the activities around the league. Mike Yam, Rick Neuheisel and Yogi Roth will break down National Signing Day with an in-depth look at the day's events.

text: Hey fellow LA! I really love my LA. Its a lot of fun but on the other hand i am a bit concerned about his usefullness in the future. PS2 is a classed based game, with every class bringing different things to the table you need to do your work as a team. My opinion is that its not really relevant which class you pick while just going with the mainzerg. You can have a lot of fun with the LA in this department. But things get tricky the moment you join an outfit, where things are handled a bit more professional. My outfit lets me play what i want, but i often get the feeling that im a bit useless on the long run. When we rush objectives its not bad beeing an LA. But things get tricky as soon as the shiat hits the fan :/ Because whats happening if the enemy brings in armored forces or air? Well i switch to Max or HA. -.-# Engi and Medic still can do their job. But the moment i ran out of midrange infantrytargets i just feel useless. How does it help my team in any way that im speeding around in a jetpack while the others heal, place landmines (beastly things), rearm, shoot tanks and so on and on. Yeah C4 is nice. Atleast facing the enemy Zerg where peeps are not organized very well. Ever tried to C4 something which is guarded? In conclusion i think the LA is a truckload of fun, but i have the feeling it still has to prove its worth in organized play :/

Once you've sunk low enough to send your horror franchise into space, the only place left to go is the hood, apparently, as Warwick Davis faces off against rappers (namely, Ice-T and a guy who was on Star Trek for four seasons and only had ten lines) in Leprechaun: In the Hood, the fifth movie in the Leprechaun saga.
Cheapus reviews the one and only feature film starring S Club (née S Club 7), in which the wildly successful UK pop group finds themselves being cloned by a mad scientist for reasons that certainly must have made sense to the screenwriters.
Cheapus gets a set of DVDs for Christmas, but it turns out they contain four disembodied souls trapped between worlds by the sinister Chris Mass, and they can only be freed by reviewing the Christmas-themed movies contained within: Scrooged, Gremlins, Fred Claus, and Mixed Nuts!
Cheapus attempts exposure therapy to overcome his fear of spiders by watching Eight Legged Freaks, where spiders in a small town get exposed to toxic waste, grow to enormous size, and terrorize the locals, including David Arquette, Kari Wuhrer, and a 15 year old Scarlett Johansson.
Accused by some of being little more than the bastard offspring of J.J. Abrams, Godzilla, and the Blair Witch, is this a true classic, or just a sad case of mass hysteria?
Cheapus works out repressed emotional trauma from his youth by reviewing The Master of Disguise, a kids' film starring Dana Carvey as an Italian waiter who battles a farting Brent Spiner using his magical powers of disguise that he inherited from dad James Brolin. And yes, the Turtle Guy is in this.
Cheapus dives headfirst into the cult sci-fi sex spoof Flesh Gordon, and its much lesser sequel. Featuring, amongst other things, laser-shooting nipples, adult babies (oh God...), some awesome stop-motion effects, some terrible acting, a giant gargoyle with the voice of a pickup artist, and a cameo by the Film Brain.
Pass 'round the birthday cake, because this installment of the Cheap-Arse Film Review finds Cheapus watching The Descent, a film that may be as much about one woman's decline into grief-induced madness as it is about Cannibalistic Albino Cavemen. And that's a good thing.
In what could be considered a counterpoint to Mr. Mendo's own review, Cheapus takes a look at Donnie Darko, which he happily admits has its fair share of problems (EXPLAIN YOURSELF EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE, WHY DON'T YOU), but he believes the film still has much about it to recommend.
In this rather half-hearted adventure, Lara must stop a Whatever Artifact from falling into the hands of the dumbest version of the Illuminati ever. A pre-007 Daniel Craig shows up to be her love interest, while also doing a terrible American accent.
Cheapus takes you character by character through Magnolia, writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson's lengthy opus about 24 hours in the lives of interconnected people living in the San Fernando Valley, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, William H. Macy, Julianne Moore, John C. Reilly, Jason Robards, and Tom Cruise in an Oscar-nominated role.
Cheapus steps into the ring for the Sylvester Stallone-directed final entry in the Rocky series, where the now 60 year old boxer makes a surprising comeback (as does the actor playing him). Rocky fans get everything they expect: Burt Young, a training montage set to "Gonna Fly Now", and both Rocky and Sly overcoming the odds.
It was a huge gamble making a big budget film based on a failed TV show. Did it pay off? Well... you probably already know the answer to that, but Cheapus will tell you anyway!
Full of rampant stereotyping of Brits and Americans, it's a one-joke comedy that quickly degenerates into shameless Burger King tie-ins and covers of overplayed Little Richard songs.
Liam gets all nostalgic for 1999, pre-internet porn, soundtracks
featuring Third Eye Blind and/or Blink-182, and American Pie, the blockbuster teen sex comedy where four friends (Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, some other guys) make a pact to get laid before prom, and set their sights on the likes of Tara Reid, Alyson Hannigan, Shannon Elizabeth, and one unsuspecting pastry.

Q I've got an interview next week as a receptionist coordinator but I'm really nervous. What should I do and how can I overcome my nerves?
Angela, via email
A Many people feel apprehensive about interviews so you are certainly not alone in feeling nervous. Interviewers will generally make some allowances for nerves, but they will expect you to come prepared, having done your research and having thought about why you are a suitable candidate for the job. If you do your preparation beforehand, then not only will you be able to give yourself every advantage at the interview, but in itself it is likely to help you feel more confident and in control.
Try the following tips to help you with that preparation.

Your tenancy agreement is an important legal document. You should keep it in a safe place but if you do lose it, contact our Customer Services team on 0300 303 1010 and we will send you another copy.
A tenancy agreement sets out our rights and responsibilities as your landlord, and your rights and responsibilities as our residents.
The type of tenancy you have will be printed on the front of your agreement. The main legal differences are between secure and assured tenancies, but we try to treat everyone the same if possible. The other main difference is in the way we set your rent.
Starter tenancy
If you are a new tenant and are not transferring from another council or housing association you may be given a 12 month starter tenancy. If we are satisfied you have met your responsibilities as a tenant, we will offer you an assured tenancy at the end of 12 months.
Assured shorthold tenancy
An assured shorthold tenancy is used for shorter-term lettings, such as temporary accommodation. Usually, we cannot end your tenancy for the first six months, after which we usually have to give you four weeks notice.
Assured tenancy
An assured tenancy is used for the majority of our general needs rented homes. It offers some security to the tenant as your tenancy may not be ended without a valid reason.

Bode and the shameless media on display
On scene sports reporting may have hit an all time low Sunday night in the form of Christin Cooper, NBC sport's reporter at the Men's Olympic super event. Her classless and disgusting interview with Bode Miller, one of the all time great USA men's down-hill skiers, should, in my estimation, be career ending. Bode was in a joyous mood having won the bronze medal in what will in all probability be his last Olympics. The moment was even more poignant because he recently lost his brother. So Bode's victory was bittersweet.
It was clear that Bode was struggling to keep his emotions intact, mentioning his greatest wish would be for his brother to be there to share the moment. And then Ms. Cooper began her classless, insensitive, boorish and unrelenting questioning of Bode. She was clearly attempting to elicit an emotional reaction from him. It worked, and she completely destroyed what should have been a celebratory moment. Bode Miller, who no one could accuse of being anything less than a red blooded macho man, was finally reduced to tears.
This incident is indicative of the state of news reporting, particularly by the major news networks. They will, whenever given the chance, turn a positive to a negative, the upbeat to a downer and the truth to a distortion. They are so blinded by their own arrogance and hubris to see this mind set is why the networks are swirling down the porcelain goddess.
Bode, demonstrating more class than Cooper will ever achieve, defended her later, because he said they are friends. This makes Cooper's behavior even more egregious. First, it doesn't excuse her lack of professionalism, and second, it reveals her true character that she would exploit a friend foolishly, as it turned out, to advance her career. Hopefully she will quickly pass into oblivion.

GSA shuts down apps.gov
The General Services Administration has closed an online storefront for software-as-a-service closely associated with former Federal Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra.
The online store, apps.gov, was shut down "in an effort to provide streamlined customer service," GSA said in a statement, using language not dissimilar from its September 2009 announcement of the storefront's creation.
The agency says all services listed for sale on Apps.gov are available either through normal GSA schedule online purchasing websites, or for free on howto.gov. Asked for additional details, a GSA spokeswoman referred back to the statement.
The storefront was mainly the idea of Kundra and launched by a part of GSA, the Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies, which exists in great measure to carry out OMB initiatives.
Although apps.gov contained the offerings from heavy industry hitters such as Amazon Web Services, VMware and Google--more than 3,000 cloud-based products and services were available through it--apps.gov didn't prove popular with government agencies. The fiscal 2011 OSCIT annual report (.pdf) attributed sales of just $5 million through the site, but did note that it received "about 3,800 hits per month."
The site came under criticism for offering free applications side-by-side with multi-million dollar applications, the latter being complex purchases unlikely to be made by agencies through a storefront.

Credit: Liebherr
Patented, and therefore the only one of its kind on the market, Liebherr's XXT narrow support is designed for low torsion and is extremely robust. The front and rear outriggers are secured directly onto the boom pedestal of the distributor boom, channeling all forces directly into the outriggers and not into the truck chassis frame. Four pivoting outriggers guarantee maximum flexibility and an extremely wide swing range of the distributor boom when working in tight jobsites.
The Liebherr 37 XXT's boom has a vertical reach of 121 feet and comes in a 4-section Z- or R-fold design. The boom is extremely torsion-resistant, ensuring that vibrations are reduced to an absolute minimum when unfolding at the construction site. To ensure a balanced weight distribution, the concrete pipeline is configured close to the boom on both left and right sides.

Visit Teen Karma
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
When Buddhists refer to karma, I doubt they're talking about a cute, naked teen girl with nice tits, a tight ass and her own website. However, on Teen Karma that is exactly what you get. If she's the real definition of the word, then you're in for some good times on this site. After watching her pose and play in mostly softcore photos and videos, you might even earn an upgrade in your next life.
TeenKarma changed its interface a while back so that it now uses a basic blog template, but it isn't the most efficient when it comes to navigation. Thankfully, each scene is tagged with either "video" or "photo," so you can isolate one or the other simply by clicking on that tag. You'll still be dealing with text links instead of pagination, though. Both the pictures and the videos have thumbnails, so you can get a taste of what you're getting before you click on it.
Unfortunately, what you end up getting won't be much bigger than a taste. There are only 11 videos available. They feature this tight-bodied teen in very softcore action, like getting a fake tattoo or waking up in bed. Karma's a sweet girl and loves to chat with the camera, so the videos are pretty fun, but their quality varies, with the best offering good-quality playback.
As one of our readers noted, a lot of the content prior to September 2011 was taken down, including much of what is advertised on the tour (speaking of which, the tour promises Windows Media and MP4 files, but all the videos are in Flash format). I wouldn't bet on there being any more videos any time soon, because the last time anything was added was back in August 2012. You'll also get 33 picture galleries with high-res pics that you can save in Zip folders.
You get a lot of fun softcore porn starring a cute girl and you also get access to 11 bonus sites. You can check out sites like Teen Flood, Teen Ashley and Teen Autumn. To reach them, click on the "HelpDesk" link at the top of the page. It'll take you to an FAQ that links to the sites. Teen Karma has good-quality vids and photos, but the site is really too small to join. The fact that it isn't updating doesn't help.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
Score: 60% Date: 11/29/2012
- Karma is absolutely beautiful and the quality of the picture sets and films is high
- zip files are provided for ease of download
- if you join this site you will also get access to teenflood.com, kellyq.com, sweetsema.com, littleliza.com, leahlove.com, teenlarisa.com, teenchloe.com, teenautumn.com, cutekarina.com, youngkeera.com, teenkayla.com
- much of the old photo-sets seem to have been removed when they updated the site, there are at least 8 sets that I've found previews of online that no longer exist on this site. The site does not even include the sets shown on the front page of the site. They appear to have re-masted some of the photo-sets when they updated the site, but they stopped adding re-mastered sets in August of this year (after steady updates since April) so it looks like that is all the content that will ever be available.

To switch over to "Girls" on that note, obviously in these last few episodes you haven't been featured as much as Jemima has kind of been absent while she had her baby. Are you coming back at all, or is that plot over?
I wouldn't have thought so. I think... You know, it's one of those things, I went to do one episode of the show which is where I try to have a threesome with the girls. We just had so much fun that Lena asked me to come back and do some more. When she suggested I come back I was a little bit like, "…how? How does that character com back? In what possible situation?"
Yeah, I think a lot of people had that thought.
And she's like, "I want you to marry one of the girls." That's fucking insane! What are you talking about? And she said, "No, no, it's going to be really fun." And so I came back. And it kinda worked! Because, I think, Jemima's character is kinda nuts as well, you kinda buy it. I can't imagine that my character will come back but after experience, never say never. It's great, it's such a good show. I've just been catching up on it this week, actually. I just watched that recent one where Hannah goes and lives in that guy's house-
With Patrick Wilson.
Patrick Wilson, right! It's just some of the best television; it's so great. She's such a talented girl.
Were all of your scenes in "Girls" tightly scripted? Now that you're in "Family Tree," the new Christopher Guest series [upcoming on HBO], I'm curious about your background in improv.
It is to an extent but they do let you go. Because I do so much ranting in "Girls," a lot of stuff just comes out. Like I think all the Mary Poppins stuff I think I kind of made up on the day. Lena's cool with it, but it's so well scripted that you don't even need to improvise. It's just if you're as self indulgent as I am you do it. And with Judd's stuff there's bits of improv, but the Christopher Guest thing is just a totally different experience. It's very challenging because you have to be so focused all of the time, otherwise there's no scene if you don't come up with something. It's very well structured. Chris and Jim Piddock wrote a great script in a sense where, you know, it's a really great story. So all you have to do is come up with the jokes. The thing that I found hardest is I come from a sitcom background and the grammar of that is what's the shortest route to a punchline. That's not the way that Chris works. So it's almost trying to not be gaggy and funny, but also be really funny. Which is tricky. But it's one of the most fun things I've done, he's amazing.
Some of your first roles were for Mike Leigh. Does that kind of prepare you at all in a sense, or is it two completely different types of improv?
It is! Mike Leigh's thing is interesting because you improvise the day before and then he writes down everything that you
said, and then when you shoot you shoot word for word what you said the day before. So it's not like an on camera improv. But it's all part of the game, I suppose. It's all very useful in terms of learning how to do that kind of stuff and the different ways people work, from someone like Judd who just works so quickly on his feet and has a good education and Chris who's just the funniest person I know. It's an education.
Coming off of your series "Moone Boy," [on British network Sky1] which you wrote, is writing still something you're interested in? Do you have anything else that you've written in the works?
We just shot the second series of "Moone Boy," which I'm in the edit for now, and I'm writing the third series which is shooting this summer and I'm going to direct that one as well. So I'll probably get behind the camera a bit more. I'd like to write a movie next that maybe we shoot next summer, but I don't have any idea what it would be. So I probably need to get going with that.
I've got like five bad ideas. I just need one great idea and I'll be set.
So you're obviously extremely busy. There's a number of projects I could ask about. I do want to mention "Friends with Kids," from last year, as I think it was incredibly underrated and a pretty great little comedy.
Thank you, I think so too! I really like that movie. Those guys are so great in it. Adam [Scott] is so great in it. I wish kind of more people had seen it, just to see his performance if nothing else.
Are there any other upcoming projects that you would want to mention?
I've got "Cavalry," [the John Michael McDonagh film] coming out sometime in the Autumn. But "The Sapphires" is terrific and I hope it finds an audience because I think it's a very unique. It's a very fun look at oppression.

Western Dental (Berkeley, CA)
Re: Dentists who take Healthy Families Insurance
Hi, My kids have been using healthy families delta dental for about 3years now. I take them to Western Dental in downtown Berkeley. It has been a really good experience for the kids. I am allowed in the room with them, there customer service is good, and I am able to schedule both my kids at the same time. Sometimes the wait can be a little long to be seen, but other then that it has been a great experience. You should give them a call. Fellow HF member
My husband is considering getting some orthodontia work at Western Dental in downtown Berkeley. Does anyone have any experience with them? They are much cheaper than other orthodontists, but we're worried about the quality of their work. Considering braces

Mobile gaming "big spenders" – often referred to as "whales" – are more likely to be young men, according to research firm EEDAR. The data comes from the "Deconstructing Mobile & Tablet Gaming report," which relies heavily on a July survey of more than 3,000 active mobile and tablet gamers. According to the survey, 66 percent of the top five percent of respondents who paid money for mobile games were male.
According to the survey, 53 percent of males and 47 percent of females indicated that they paid for mobile gaming, while non-paying consumers were predominately female (65 percent, versus 35 percent male). Overall, women accounted for 56 percent of the mobile gamers in the survey.
Whales also tended to skew younger: the average age of non-payers was 36.6 years old, while payers were around 32 years old. The average age of whales was 30.2 years old.
Whales also spent more time playing mobile games than non-whales, but they also played more games of all types. Non-payers played an average of 7.2 hours a week, payers played an average of 9.9 hours, and whales played an average of 26.5 hours a week.
EEDAR also found that whales tend to use both consoles and handhelds to play games. Whales reported spending 24 percent of their gaming time on consoles, while non-paying mobile gamers spent just 15 percent of their time on consoles. As for handhelds, whales used them 10 percent of the time, compared to just 3 percent for non-payers.
Finally, EEDAR found that 78 percent of those who spent $50 or more on mobile gaming said they were satisfied with their purchases.

Hello! I am new here and I figured this was the right forum to go to for cartographic help. I like minecraft. I like final fantasy. So naturally I want to enjoy both at the same time. I want to render the Final Fantasy 4 map into a height map so I build on it in minecraft. The use will be completely personal and I am willing to pay (via paypal) if the quality is well-done.
The map in question is: http://www.fantasyanime.com/finalfan...4map_wsc01.png
As you can see, the map is rather large.
Then there is the underworld (http://ian-albert.com/games/final_fa...underworld.gif) and the moon (http://ian-albert.com/games/final_fa...l/ff2-moon.gif)
I do not need sizes of 12,000x12,000. Something like 4,000x4,000 will work since I can just scale. However, if you think you can add more detail by going bigger go ahead. All I really want out of all this is just a terrain heightmap that is greyscale, I suppose. I do not know much about heightmaps so if someone can tell me an easier way to do this, please do. Also, how hard exactly would this be? I've managed to make a white sillohoute on my own but I am missing the mountains and such and I really do not want to manually brush in every hill and mountain. Thanks for reading.

Students Fume Over School's Super Bowl Plan
IUPUI Cancels Classes, Gives Some Parking To City
Some Indiana University Purdue University-Indianapolis students are speaking out against the school's plan to accommodate Super Bowl activities, limiting students' parking options and canceling some classes.IUPUI made special arrangements with Indianapolis to allow the city to use 4,000 of its 16,000 parking spots on a few days surrounding the Super Bowl, RTV6's Ericka Flye reported. Special Section: Super Bowl XLVI Some students said that although they're excited about the city hosting the big game, they paid a lot for parking permits and classes and are being temporarily denied both."I think the Super Bowl is great for the city. I just think that it shouldn't hinder our education," said student Chris Gault. "It seems the school is putting the outsiders and the Super Bowl attendees before the students and their educations."Parking has long been a contentious issue on the IUPUI campus, which has had trouble with having enough spaces to meet student demand."They're selling our parking spaces that are paid permit holder spaces," said student Andrew Reno. "A lot of us have taken out loans to pay for our classes, and now we're being given less time in the classroom."Classes that would have been on Super Bowl weekend are canceled, and faculty was given flexibility to cancel or adjust classes on the Friday before the game and Monday after the game."(We're) trying to make it as easy as possible on students by not requiring them to attend face-to-face classes if their professor thinks that's best," said Rich Schneider, IUPUI spokesman.IUPUI will be a busy area, with a Super Bowl route that runs through campus, and the University Place Hotel, the AFC team hotel, will be bustling with activity."We didn't want to have students stuck in traffic and not be able to get to a class and then be penalized in some fashion for missing that class," Schneider said.School officials pointed out that there will still be 12,000 permit spaces available for students and that the parking restrictions are on days when few students will be on campus.

Removal of silicone implants at 6 months takes about 10 minutes and the capsules will eventually disappear without removal.
I'm not sure why you would want removal of implants at 6 months. Why did you have them inserted in the first place? However, removal is easy. No need to remove the capsule (which adds operating time and is more traumatic). When the implant is out, the body will break down the capsule.
