Performance nutters may grouse but car manufacturers can't really deny the high-efficiency end of the automotive market. For September's Frankfurt Motor Show, each of the German heavy hitters pulled out a lightweight and super efficient concept and in Audi's case it was both coupe and spyder version of the Audi Urban Concept. That Audi wasn't the only Volkswagen
Earlier this week Audi and its parent The Volkswagen Group were in the headlines in the Financial Times Deutschland because of an apparent debate between the management of the two companies regarding how to proceed with new EV and hybrid technologies. At the center of the supposed debate was the powertrain technology shown in the A1 e-tron with its rotary

Ready in 2 hours 30 minutes
carrot casserole
1 people want to try | 1 have favorited
Bring the water to the boil in a thick-bottomed saucepan.
Add the rice and cook, stirring, until water is wholly absorbed in it. Add the milk and bring the mixture to the boil again, stirring frequently. Lower the heat to minimum, cover the pan with lid and simmer until the rice and milk have thickened into a soft-textured, velvety smooth porridge. Stir every now and then to prevent the porridge from burning on the bottom or forming a skin on the surface.
Meanwhile, peel the carrots and cut off their ends. Cut the carrots in about 5 cm long chunks. If they are very thick, halve them lengthwise. Cook the carrots in boiling water until tender. Pour out the cooking water. Place the uncovered pan back to the warm stove plate, so that the excess moisture will evaporate, and the carrots feel dry.
Puree the carrots through a foodmill.
Mix the carrot puree in the rice porridge and let the mixture cool a bit. Add the salt, molasses, eggs and half of the cream. Whip the rest of the cream and gently fold it in. Pour the batter into one or two buttered oven casseroles.
Sprinkle the surface with a thin layer of dry bread crumbs and decorate it by pressing little bumps on it with the tip of a spoon. Dot the surface with pats of butter.
Bake the casserole either at 175 C for 1 - 1.5 hours or at 200 C for about 1 hour until the batter is set and cooked, slightly puffed and golden brown on top. Serve the casserole with baked Christmas ham.

Posture is an important aspect of optimal health. Posture habits are formed during the years of growth and development. Posture both impacts and is impacted by the way you walk, sit and perform physical and athletic movements. The early development of poor posture habits can have long-term effects on a person, including chronic discomfort and disability. This is why it is important to help your child develop good posture habits throughout her growing years.
Good Posture
Good posture is the alignment of bones and joints in the back, legs and arms. To practice good posture, Posture.com suggests, "Using various body parts as references, imagine having an imaginary plumb line that comes just behind the ear, the shoulder, the hips, the knees and [foot bone]." Good posture also plays a role in a child's mental and social aspects of life. John Wesley in Thepostureblog.com states, "By practicing good posture, you'll automatically feel more confident...You'll make a positive impression on others and instantly feel more alert and empowered." A child with good posture will have three natural curves down the back, starting inward at the neck before moving outward at the upper back and then gradually inward again at the lower back.
Causes of Bad Posture
Poor posture in children is caused by constantly pulling the shoulders forward and down or sitting in a slouched position for a long period of time. Poor shoe support, stiff or uncomfortable beds, a poor diet, poor sleeping habits and a sedentary lifestyle can also influence your child's posture. Obesity is a common cause of poor posture as additional weight adds strain to your child's small bone structure. You can identify a child with bad posture by his droopy shoulders or his forward-tilted head, which causes the upper part of the neck to slightly protrude out from the body.

Fairfax County History Commission Accomplishments
Civil War Sesquicentennial
In 2011, Fairfax County joined forces with other localities across the Commonwealth to form a local Sesquicentennial Committee in order to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War in Virginia. Members of the Commission continue to collaborate with Visit Fairfax, the Park Authority, the City of Fairfax, and representatives from local groups and societies to work with the State Sesquicentennial Commission, plan events and activities that highlight the County's role in the Civil War, and to promote Fairfax County's rich Civil War history. Gretchen Bulova is the Commission's representative to the Fairfax County Sesquicentennial Steering Committee and serves as Chair of the History Commission's Sesquicentennial committee.
Members of this committee include Carole Herrick, Mary Lipsey and Naomi Zeavin. They have planned a wide variety of activities and educational resources to support the County Sesquicentennial initiatives. Some of these activities include collaboration with the City of Fairfax to commemorate the Skirmish of Fairfax Courthouse (June 1, 2011); a suggested reading lists for both children and adults (2011); the coordination of a series of 18 Civil War Trail markers throughout the County (2012, 2013, 2014); the creation of a driving tour of Fairfax County Civil War sites "Footsteps to Fairfax Trail" (2012); the research, development and marketing of nine "Civil War in Fairfax County" educational outreach kits for school teachers, groups and community organizations (2014); and a Civil War in Fairfax County smart phone app (Spring 2015). Information and links to these initiatives and historical resources can be found on the Commission's website (http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/histcomm/civil-war.htm). In addition Naomi Zeavin made a video on the story of Mason District Park Civil War Trails Marker.
Fairfax County Resident
Curator Program
As noted in the 2012 Annual Report, the Commission-along with Department of Planning & Zoning (DPZ) and Park Authority staff-is participating in the ongoing effort to investigate the creation of a Resident Curator Program (RCP) for Fairfax County. Currently, a consultant is preparing a program implementation study that will analyze potential benefits and risks of an RCP program, establish the potential RCP's structure and define its management.
Robert Beach (Chair), Gretchen Bulova, Michael Irwin and Barbara Naef have served on the Commission's RCP Committee since 2011.
In March and April 2013, a member of the Commission's RCP committee participated in the Request for Proposal interviewing and consultant selection process. A consultant was hired by the county in July to conduct the program implementation study. Stakeholder meetings were held in August at Frying Pan Farm Park Visitor Center and Green Spring Gardens Park, with Commission representatives present.
Finally, as of May 1st, the Commission, through its RCP committee, has reviewed the consultant's second draft study report with comments submitted to DPZ staff, as required. The Commission anticipates the final report during 2014 and its continued participation to initiate the Resident Curator Program in Fairfax County.
Ninth Annual History
Voices for Freedom!
Voices for Freedom "Voices for Freedom" Abolitionists, Oral History and Documenting the Past was the theme for the Fairfax County's 9th Annual History Conference held on Saturday, November 9, 2013, at the Stacey C. Sherwood Community Center in the City of Fairfax. Coordinated by the Fairfax County History Commission, Fairfax County Park Authority and the Fairfax Museum and Visitor Center, the conference was sponsored by Visit Fairfax and the Seeds of Independence Committee of Gunston Hall. There was a capacity attendance of 130. Nearly 75 percent had attended a previous conference.
Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, Sharon Bulova and Congressman Gerry Connolly, 37th District, Virginia, kicked of the conference sharing their passion for history by recounting the importance of Fairfax County's history to the history of the United States. Congressman Connolly also announced the launch of a Civil Rights Archival project intended to gather and honor information, photographs and stories that occurred during the 1960's Civil Rights Era in Fairfax County.
Re-enactors began the program:
- Frederick Douglass-19th century slave, orator and U.S. Marshal to the District of Columbia, re-enacted by Albert Williams;
- Angelina Grimké-early 19th century, Abolitionist and Quaker women's rights activist from South. Carolina, portrayed by Lynne Garvey-Hodge; and
- Julia Ward Howe-19th century Abolitionist and lyricist of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," portrayed by Jenée Lindner.
Esther McCullough, Chair of the Commission's Ethnic and Oral History Committee led a session on gathering and preserving oral histories throughout the county. The session featured four actors from FREED (Female Re-enactors of Distinction). Each presented the story of a slave who had lived, survived and even thrived during and after the Civil War - one became a lawyer and another, a doctor. Based in the African American Civil War Museum in Washington, DC, under the Direction of Patricia Tyson, the troupe of actors is frequently called upon to "tell their stories" to interested historians, students and citizens.
Fairfax County History Commission member, Debbie Robison provided a detailed look at the resources available for exploring local history. Ms. Robison provided the audience with stories reflecting a summary of the wealth of information that can be found by accessing online research sites. Links to online local history research sources are available at http://novahistory.org/Research/Research.html.
The conference ended with Dr. Spencer Crew, Robinson Professor of American, African American and Public History at George Mason University, who spoke on "African Americans and The Underground Railroad in Fairfax County during the Civil War." He noted the success of the "Railroad" is evidenced by the scant amount of documentation available on it - hence, those who participated took their roles of secret information bearers quite seriously. Over four million slaves lived in this country during the Civil War, yet only some 100,000 were able to find their way to freedom successfully. Marion Dobbins, one of his students and the founder of the new Fairfax County African American History Society introduced Dr. Crew.
Jason's Deli provided a continental breakfast and delicious lunch. Over 22 exhibitors and authors participated. History Commission member Jack L. Hiller took photographs of the conference. In a special touch, Sally Lyons graciously allowed the use of her late husband's Civil War era desk, which had been passed down to him through his mother whose father had served in the 16th Kentucky Infantry.
The Conference Planning Committee includes History Commission members Lynne Garvey-Hodge (Chair), Barbara Naef, Anne Barnes, Esther McCullough, Naomi Zeavin, Mike Irwin, Phyllis Walker Ford, Carole Herrick, Mary Lipsey and Sally Lyons; Susan Gray, Fairfax Museum and Visitor's Center; Elizabeth Crowell, Park Authority; and Jenée Lindner.
The 10th Annual History Conference will be held on November 8, 2014 at the Stacey C. Sherwood Community Center with a focus on the War of 1812.
Web Site
In addition to providing History Commission members' contact information, the History Commission's web page describes the various programs the Commission offers to promote interest in local history extending from pre-history to the recent past. The History Commission's Publication Grant encourages the sharing of local history research. The Awards Programs recognizes individuals for their efforts in researching or promoting history. Procedures and application forms for the Publication Grant and the Awards Programs are available online. Promotional information on the annual Fairfax County History Conference is placed on the website as it becomes available each year.
In addition, a historical resources page provides information on property owners in 1860, lists of Board of Supervisor members, and links to the Fairfax County Inventory of Historic Sites and an external database of Fairfax County historical markers. The Sesquicentennial page provides information on the Civil War in Fairfax County, including suggested reading lists and a Fairfax County Civil War driving tour. The website serves as an easy, up to date and readily available tool for anyone interested in our County's history. Debbie Robison manages the website. The webmaster is Greg Chase with the Department of Planning and Zoning. (www.fairfaxcounty.gov/histcomm/)
Awards Program
The Fairfax County History Commission maintains awards programs to honor research and achievements in Fairfax County history and historic preservation:
- Heritage Awareness Awards: Established in 1995, this program is designed to stimulate and reward original research in Fairfax County history using standard social, political and economic sources in written narrative form, a nomination to the National Register of Historic Places or a video documentary.
- Recognition Awards: To recognize contributions of individuals and groups to the preservation of history in Fairfax County.
These programs are open to the public. A full description of the programs, along with rules and requirements can be found on the Commission's web site. (www.fairfaxcounty.gov/histcomm/awardsprogram.htm)
The Awards Committee included Lynne Garvey-Hodge (Chair), Naomi Zeavin, Robert E. Beach, Jack L. Hiller and Elise Ruff Murray.
The Fairfax County History Commission's Publications Committee continues to work on several reprints including "Beginning at a White Oak: Patents and Northern Neck Grants of Fairfax County, Virginia;" "Legato School: a Centennial Souvenir;" and "Mount Air, Fairfax, Virginia." The committee is working on publishing "Fairfax County in 1860" which is a portrait of the County shown through property identification maps and an aggregation of census data. The maps are posted online at (www.fairfaxcounty.gov/histcomm/1860maps.htm). The Commission's publications are available for purchase at the Virginia Room. Some of the old Planning Office publications are available through the Park Authority. Committee members are working to find outlets for all of the Fairfax County local history publications.
The Publications Committee is working on dispersing local history publications from the County Warehouse.
The Commission has established a grant program, whereby an individual or a group may apply for a grant of up to $500 to aid in the research and publication of local history.
Members of the Publications Committee are Mary Lipsey (Chair), Anne Stuntz, Elise Ruff Murray, Barbara Naef, Lynne Garvey-Hodge, Anne Barnes and Carole Herrick.
Ethnic/Oral History
This committee was formed in the fall of 1997 in response to the increasing demographic diversity of Fairfax County's population. The one hundred languages spoken within schools show the diversity of the population. It has been estimated that in less than fifty years the County's white population will drop below 50 percent. The committee set as a goal to explore the ways in which more ethnic segments might be encouraged to record their experiences and community history since their arrival in Northern Virginia.
In 2004, at the suggestion of then-Chairman Connolly, the Commission formed a subcommittee of the Ethnic Committee to seek a project for recording and presenting oral history in Fairfax County. The Oral History subcommittee will plan more on the value and use of oral history.
The members of these committees are Esther McCullough (Chair), Naomi Zeavin, Anne Barnes, Sallie Lyons, Lynne Garvey-Hodge and Anne Stuntz.
Inventory of Historic
The Fairfax County Inventory of Historic Sites is one of the History Commission's longest standing responsibilities. It serves as both an honorific and a planning tool. The Comprehensive Plan includes the Inventory sites in the Heritage Resources section of each Planning District.
The Comprehensive Plan Amendment PA 2013-CW-6CP, to update the Inventory tables, references to Inventory sites in the text and other technical corrections, was approved by the Planning Commission on March 27, 2014 including a request for inclusion of whether the property is National Register eligible. On April 29, 2014, the Board of Supervisors adopted the amendment as shown in the staff report and recommended the Planning Commission request be researched for next year due to the annual cycle of this amendment. Department of Planning and Zoning (DPZ) Planning Division staff completed the plan amendment with review by the Commission's Inventory Committee.
As of December 2013, the Inventory stands at 362 listings. The following sites were added in 2013:
Additions to the Inventory of Historic Sites 2013
|Site Name
|Date Added
|Georgetown Pike
|McLean & Great Falls
|McLean Volunteer Fire Department/Fairfax County Fire Station Number 1
The current Inventory list along with its background, nomination forms and research guidelines are accessible to staff and the general public on the County website. An Inventory nomination form, instruction guide and example are also available. (www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dpz/historic/ihs/).
Sallie Lyons, Elise Ruff Murray, Barbara Naef, Debbie Robison and Anne Stunz serve on the Inventory Committee, in cooperation with Laurie Turkawski and Linda Cornish Blank of DPZ.
Historical Markers
Fairfax County's Historical Marker Program began in January 1998 when the History Commission approved a design and agreed to fund a distinctive historical roadside marker for Fairfax County. While this marker is generally modeled after Virginia's roadside markers, by state code it must have a distinctive appearance. With colors derived from George Washington's Fairfax Militia uniform, these buff and blue roadside markers emblazoned with the Fairfax County seal, stand ten feet from ground level.
In the sixteen years the program has existed 51 historical roadside markers (including six state markers) have been approved for installation by the History Commission. Many requests for historical markers are initiated by the public, which provides for approximately one half of the funding. Some markers, including those requested by developers, are funded entirely by the requesting party. All requests are reviewed by a committee for historical accuracy and editorial continuity before being submitted to the entire Commission for approval.
During the 2012 calendar year, the Commission agreed to limit the funding of historical markers to the equivalent cost of two markers due to budget restraints. The current cost of fabricating a marker is $1960.
Two markers were approved by the Commission in 2013-at the Bethlehem Baptist Church in Gum Springs and in Lorton a marker commemorating Deputy Sheriff George A. Malcolm, the first known law enforcement officer to die in the line to duty in Fairfax County (1905). Both markers were partially funded by the requesting parties. Both markers will be dedicated in 2014.
Serving on the Marker Committee are Jack Hiller (Chair), Anne Barnes, Michael Irwin, Mary Lipsey, Esther McCullough, Debbie Robison and Page Shelp.
Cultural Resource Managment
and Protection Section Grants
Since 2000, the Commission has provided a modest grant to Vicki Monken for entering archaeological data into the computer for the Park Authority Cultural Resource Management and Protection Section (CRMP). In September 2013, the Commission provided a grant of $10,860 to assist in CRMP's efforts to update databases and physical spaces for an upcoming American Alliance of Museums accreditation. Intern, Chip Marshall, (Senior, GMU) wrote computer code that integrated many of CRMP's various databases, excel spreadsheets and other tracking documents into one cohesive unit. In addition, some supplies such as archival paper and file folders were purchased. This project is ongoing.
Speaker's Bureau
At the Board of Supervisors request, the Commission compiled a list of people willing to speak on topics related to Fairfax County history. The resulting Speaker's Bureau List includes a variety of countywide history topics with related speakers and contact information, including name, email address and phone number. An update is in progress.
Members of the Fairfax County History Commission continue to be active in speaking before various civic, community and historic groups.

High winds have again closed ferry service here in Eastern Carolina.
The D.O.T. has suspended the remainder of Tuesday's runs for the Cedar Island to Ocracoke route and the Swan Quarter to Ocracoke ferry.
Sustained winds of 38 miles per hour and higher gusts have created unsafe conditions to maneuver the ferries into the terminals.
The ferry system hopes to have full service back on Wednesday.
Yesterday high winds and rough water shut down the Cherry Branch-Minnesott Beach ferry route.

Logan Mankins at No. 64 on NFL Network's 'Top 100′ list
|05.16.12 at 8:56 pm ET
Patriots offensive lineman Logan Mankins checked in at No. 64 overall in the NFL Network's list of Top 100 players of 2012, presented Wednesday night.
The offensive guard, who just wrapped up his seventh season with the Patriots, was at No. 39 last year. The Fresno State product is the second member of the Patriots to make this year's Top 100 — defensive lineman Vince Wilfork was the first member of the franchise to make this year's list at No. 81.
One of the players who discussed Mankins and his impact was Indianapolis defensive lineman Raheem Brock. Brock and Mankins have been longtime foes, but it was clear Brock has a lot of respect for Mankins, saying he's "a great overall offensive lineman."
"He's not just a great pass blocker — he's a great run blocker, too. He's pretty good at trying to disguise the run and the pass. In Indy, they know how we played: We spin a lot, and one play or another, he might set me up, knowing I'm going to spin and the other guy is coming to clean me up. They'd kind of laugh at you because it was kind of a setup."
As for the idea that Mankins occasionally gets overshadowed by quarterback Tom Brady, Brock chuckled.
"I don't see too many people pay to go see offensive linemen play, but he's one of the best," he said with a smile. "He's one of the best."

Brooke Mueller Could Get Her Kids Back In December
By Mack Rawden 3 years ago
Brooke Mueller has kept her nose clean and her eyes focused on a reunion with her kids since she ran into some personal problems back in May. In the time since, her four-year-old twin boys Max and Bob have been staying with Charlie Sheens other ex-wife Denise Richards, but if all goes according to plan, Brooke could regain full-time custody of the kids after a hearing in December.
According to Radar Online, Brooke has passed all of her court-ordered drug tests in the past few months, and her behavior has been stellar during all of the supervised visitations shes had with the children. Because its the goal of the Los Angeles County Department of Children & Family Services to reunite mothers with children whenever possible, every attempt will be made to eventually get the little ones back to Brooke, but in order for that to happen, she will need to convince the court shes not going to relapse again.
The idea that a womans children could be given to her ex-husbands other ex-wife would sound ludicrous in most parts of the country, but in Hollywood, its not nearly as wild. More importantly, it actually seems like the right answer in this situation. Denise has looked after the kids on multiple occasions, and considering shes raising Bob and Maxs half-siblings and lives right down the street from their father Charlie, it actually makes a whole lot of sense. By all accounts, shes a very good and very stable mother, and shes happy to take care of the bunch.
That being said, it would still be best for everyone involved if Brooke could finally remove drugs and alcohol from her life once and for all. Shes done it for decent-sized stretches before, but its not good for her children if she spends the rest of her life in and out of rehab. They need some stability, and she would be a whole lot happier if she could find it, as well.

Matt Wieters tied a career high with five runs batted in and Steve Johnson won his starting debut in the majors as Baltimore beat the Mariners 9-2 Wednesday night for a three-game series sweep.
BALTIMORE — The Mariners left Seattle last week riding a wave of energy, believing they had finally turned a corner.
Instead, they've found more misery waiting around that bend. And after getting swept by the Orioles, much of the good vibe they took on the road has disintegrated.
Their 9-2 loss to the Orioles on Wednesday at Camden Yards was dismal in just about every way, except for a two-run homer by Kyle Seager,
The Mariners have lost five of the first six games on the trip, with a visit to Anaheim for a three-game series looming. Remember when they were starting to creep back into the fringes of the wild-card race — 7 ½ games out when the trip began? Now, not so much, after falling 11 games under .500 at 51-62.

"It sucked," losing pitcher Kevin Millwood said of the Orioles series. "We started playing pretty well and didn't play bad in New York. We didn't play real well here at all. Say what you want to say, but we just didn't play well."
A night after a walkoff Seattle loss in 14 innings, Millwood struggled in his brief outing, lasting just four innings and giving up eight hits and seven runs. In two games since the trade deadline, when there was speculation Millwood would be traded, he has pitched 10 innings, given up 17 hits and has a 9.90 earned-run average.
"We didn't help him out at all early," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said, noting some defensive lapses. "Of those first four (Baltimore) runs, maybe one of them would have happened. We didn't make any plays. We didn't make any errors, but we didn't make any plays. At the big-league level, we've got to make those plays.
"Four or five different things that happened early on just can't happen. You can't give them those opportunities and let them take advantage of it because we're not doing what we should be doing out there defensively."
Wedge also wasn't happy with Munenori Kawasaki's at-bat during an early scoring opportunity. With the bases loaded and one out in the second, Kawasaki elected to bunt — and not well. It went back to the pitcher, who easily got the force at home, and the Mariners didn't score.
"I don't want that," Wedge said. "I told him that. I don't want him to bunt with the bases loaded there. I don't even know where that came from. I told him, don't do that again."
The 37-year-old Millwood, who had a 4-16 record for the Orioles in 2010, fell to 4-10 this season.
"The ball was up," he said. "It was good to see some old friends and be able to talk to those guys, but it's no fun stinkin'."
The winning pitcher, Steve Johnson, had quite a night in his major-league starting debut and second career appearance. The right-hander is a Baltimore native and son of Dave Johnson, former Orioles pitcher and current broadcaster. The younger Johnson earned his first major-league win 23 years to the day his dad did the same for the Orioles.
Johnson nearly struck out the side on nine pitches in the first inning before the third hitter, Jesus Montero, singled on an 0-2 pitch. Instead, Johnson fanned the side on 12 pitches — all strikes.
In six innings, he struck out nine and gave up just the two runs resulting from Seager's 13th homer, his second in as many nights. Johnson, by the way, came to the Orioles from the Dodgers in a trade for ex-Mariner George Sherrill, who went to Baltimore in the ill-fated Erik Bedard trade.
Many Mariners noted that Johnson was "sneaky fast."
"It was riding up in the zone pretty good," catcher John Jaso said. "I think a lot of it, including myself, was getting ourselves out. My first at-bat when I struck out, there was probably only one strike thrown and I swung at two balls out of the zone."
Meanwhile, the Orioles offense was breaking loose for 14 hits, with Matt Wieters continuing to lead the way. A night after homering twice, Wieters drove in five runs with a pair of two-run doubles and an RBI ground out. Ex-Mariner Adam Jones had three hits — and was hit in the ribs in the eighth by a Tom Wilhelmsen pitch.
One bright spot for the Mariners, besides Seager, was the work of reliever Carter Capps in his second major-league outing. Replacing Millwood in the fifth, Capps worked two scoreless innings, fanning two. He reached 100 mph a couple of times but was mostly working 98 and 99.
A night after having 18 hits in a loss, the Mariners managed just six. They have scored just 16 runs in six games on the trip (2.67 per game), and seven came in Tuesday's loss.
"I don't think we've been playing bad; we just haven't been hitting," Wedge said. "We didn't play well tonight. This is really the first game we didn't play well. We fought well in New York. Obviously, last night was a battle. Tonight we didn't play particularly well."

|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
Government Policies and Programs to Eliminate the Worst Forms of Child Labor
Gabon is an associated country of ILO-IPEC.1436 In 1999, the Government of Gabon and eight other African countries began working with ILO-IPEC on a USDOL-funded project to combat the trafficking of children in West and Central Africa.1437 In September 2002, Gabon hosted a seminar on child trafficking during which government officials and representatives from NGOs and the EU agreed to coordinate efforts in the fight against child trafficking.1438 Representatives from the Government of Gabon also attended a January 2002 seminar along with officials from Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Niger, and several UN agencies and NGOs, to discuss child trafficking and exploitation in West and Central Africa.1439 In the resulting declaration, the Yamoussoukro Declaration, the conference participants pledged to conduct coordinated information campaigns on child trafficking.1440 In 2000, the Government of Gabon co-hosted a regional conference on trafficking as part of a collaborative effort with UNICEF and the ILO. The government also created an inter-ministerial committee comprised of representatives from the Ministries of Labor, Justice, Foreign Affairs, and Family to address the issue.1441
In June 2002, the U.S. State Department's Africa Bureau announced its West Africa Regional Strategy to Combat Trafficking in Persons, which includes Gabon. As part of this strategy, U.S. missions in the region will focus U.S. Government resources to support efforts by host governments to prosecute traffickers, protect and repatriate victims, and prevent new trafficking incidents. The strategy will be implemented through improved coordination among USG donors, greater coordination with international donors, engagement with and funding of regional and international organizations, and direct funding for host government or local NGOs.1442
In March 2002, the Government of Gabon opened a center that provides shelter along with legal, medical and psychological assistance to trafficking victims.1443 In November 2001, Gabon, UNICEF and several NGOs announced a campaign to increase awareness about child trafficking and inform victims about rehabilitative services.1444 To assist with these efforts, the government provided free billboard space in major cities for an information campaign on trafficking.1445 UNICEF is also planning to invest USD 15,000 in a joint government-UNICEF program that will help prepare rural Gabonese children for primary school.1446
Incidence and Nature of Child Labor
In 2000, the ILO estimated that 14.1 percent of children ages 10 to 14 years in Gabon were working.1447 Children are found working primarily as domestic servants and in the informal sector, which various studies indicate is controlled by foreigners.1448 Children are trafficked into the country from Benin, Togo, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, and Mali for the purposes of labor and sexual exploitation.1449 Children who are purchased in Benin, Togo and Mali for as little as USD 14 may be sold to commercial farms in Gabon and Côte d'Ivoire for up to USD 340.1450
Education is compulsory between the ages of 6 and 16 under the Education Act.1451 Schooling is free, but parents must pay for expenses such as books and school supplies.1452 In 1998, the gross primary enrollment rate was 154.1 percent,1453 and the net primary enrollment rate was 82.6 percent.1454 Primary school attendance raties are unavailable for Gabon. While enrollment rates indicate a level of commitment to education, they do not always reflect children's participation in school.1455 According to the government, over 40 percent of students drop out before they complete the last year of primary school.1456 Problems in the education system include poor management and planning, lapse oversight, a shortage of teaching material, poorly qualified teachers, overcrowded classes, and a curriculum that is not always relevant to students' needs.1457 Gabon allocates nearly 10 percent of the annual state budget to national education.1458
Child Labor Laws and Enforcement
The Labor Code prohibits children below the age of 16 from working without the express consent of the Ministries of Labor, Education, and Public Health.1459 Section 6 of the Labor Code prohibits employing children in jobs that are unsuitable for them due to their age, state or condition, or that prevent them from receiving compulsory education.1460 Children between 16 and 18 years of age are prohibited from working in industries that necessitate continuous work hours, such as iron, sugar and paper factories. Children under 18 years are prohibited from working at night in industrial establishments, except in family enterprises.1461 Procurement of a minor for the purposes of prostitution is punishable by imprisonment for two to five years and a fine of 100,000 to 2,000,000 CFA (USD 156 to 3,129).1462
No laws specifically prohibit trafficking in persons.1463 However, in August 2001, the Council of Ministers of Gabon adopted a draft Ordinance that makes the trafficking of children punishable by a prison sentence and a fine of between 10 and 20 million CFA (USD 15,646 to 31,292).1464 Pursuant to the Criminal Code, accomplices and instigators are subject to the same penalties as the prime offenders.1465
While the Labor Code is intended to cover all children, in practice it is enforced only in situations involving Gabonese children, and not those who are foreign-born.1466 The Ministry of Justice is responsible for the enforcement of child labor laws, while the Ministry of Labor is charged with receiving, investigating and addressing child labor complaints.1467 In 2000, Gabon was reported to have 35 labor investigators, none of whom were explicitly tasked with investigating violations of child labor laws.1468
The Government of Gabon has not ratified ILO Convention 138, but ratified ILO Convention 182 on March 28, 2001.1469

"Every day," Alfonso said, "me and my congregation pray three times for you. For Israel."
Alfonso is the pastor of Iglesia Centro Christiano de Los Angeles, a 14-member church he founded two months ago. He was among about 200 Latino evangelical Christians who were guests for a Sukkot meal and Israeli flag ceremony hosted Monday by the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and the Israeli consulate.
The event was designed to strengthen relations between Jews and a specific segment of the Latino community -- evangelicals. On the whole, surveys have found that Latinos harbor stronger feelings of anti-Semitism than most Americans. But among Latino evangelicals there resides a powerful love for Israel and gratefulness to Jewish tradition.
"Ahavat Zion," said Randy Brown, AJC-LA's director of inter-religious affairs. "They are lovers of Israel. They've followed the history; some of them have visited Israel. They clearly are Christian in their faith, but for the roots of their faith they are very appreciative of Judaism."
Brown first noticed this when he visited a few of the 3,000-plus Latino churches often located in Southern California storefronts. He noticed that some of the congregations used Hebrew in their names -- such as shekinah and shalom -- and others hung the Israeli flag on their stages. Then Brown was invited to speak about Judaism on a Spanish-language station, Radio Zion.
Many of the Latinos he met had had little interaction with Jews and were longing to learn more, so, working with the consulate, Brown decided to invite pastors from 55 churches to Sinai Temple. Next year, he hopes to take them to the Holy Land.
The evening began in the Kohn Chapel with Brown explaining the meaning of Sukkot, the festival of booths. Carrying the lulav and etrog, he then led the pastors and their wives outside to a large sukkah erected along the Wilshire Boulevard edge of the synagogue. The men wore kippot out of reverence to the God of Jacob -- the same God they said they serve.
"We pray always for the people in Jerusalem, for the Jewish people. Jesus Christ was a Jew; we love the Jewish people," said Magdiel Sarmiento, pastor of a Pentecostal church in El Monte. "The more we know about the culture, about the religion -- about the Torah, the shofar -- it's important because it helps us remember the love God has for us in the history of the Jews."
AJC is not the only Jewish organization trying to improve relations with Latinos. Earlier this year, the American Jewish Congress hired a director of Latino outreach to focus on business owners and politicians, and the Anti-Defamation League has about 15 years experience working with the community, thanks to its Latino Jewish Roundtable. And there is good cause for the efforts.
"For Latinos, their perceptions of Jews, if any exist at all, are in part framed by their current economic encounter, principally in an employee-employer relationship," Steven Windmueller, L.A. dean of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, wrote in the book "California Jews." "It may be defined as well by images of Jews and Judaism created through traditional teachings of the Church, by media images of Jewish wealth and power, and the belief by many of Jewish influence within Hollywood and its power within the entertainment industry."
Polls have backed that up.
The Pew Hispanic Center reported in April that only 44 percent of Latinos hold a favorable view of Jews, compared with 77 percent of all Americans. The negative feelings are strongest among Latino Catholics.
A survey conducted by the ADL in 2005 found that 35 percent of foreign-born Latinos held "hardcore" anti-Semitic beliefs. That was down from 44 percent of those surveyed in 2002. The percentage was cut almost in half both years when looking at U.S.-born Latinos.
"Assimilation works," said Amanda Susskind, ADL's regional director. "Going to schools with Jews, going to different parishes, learning about diversity in the school system and on the playground actually changes the way Latinos look at Jews. It is nothing genetic. It is just what they learned. But they can de-learn."
The stereotypes swing both ways, though. This reporter was recently told a story about students at a Jewish day school being asked during last year's immigration debate to share what they knew about Latinos. "They're gardeners," was one response. "They're nannies" was another.
"They are not hateful stereotypes. They are just stereotypes borne from inexperience," said Rabbi Gary Greenebaum, AJC's national director of inter-religious affairs.
He said programs that bring Latinos and Jews into communion help dispel myths about both groups. With the Latino population of the United States expected to grow significantly during the next few decades, many Jewish leaders are attempting to strengthen bonds between the communities.
"You have to ask yourself, when you are 2 percent in such a large country, and you have the fastest growing ethnic community, now about 15 percent, you have to ask if it's important to build relationships," Israeli Consul General Ehud Danoch said after delivering the keynote at Sinai Temple.
Danoch, who is fluent in Spanish from the three years of his youth he spent in Uruguay, where his father worked for the Jewish Agency for Israel, thinks outreach to Latinos is given too short shrift by many American Jews.
"It's the most important thing for the Jewish community," he said.

Pros - great store, manager very helpful, close to Mt Rainier and Seattle, sites are fairly level and large, parts of the park are very nice, great cable TV Cons - Management requires you to sign a 5 page contract, Owner operates tractor throughout the park daily, owner has many disagreements with tenants, dusty, many permanent trailers that are a little messy, internet costs extra, is slow, and is by a third party, some questionable people in the park at night, they require that you have your doggie bag out and visible when walking your pet, no dog area I enjoyed my stay here but felt that it would be easy to get in an argument with the manager who, in my opinion means well but is quick to anger. - Donco

Friendly and helpful staff. Gravel streets & sites. All back-ins. Very easy parking from wide streets; no posts, rocks, fences, etc. Sites vary in size; ours was 20 feet wide. No picnic tables or fire rings. Well maintained. Water pressure 60#. On grounds store sells sandwiches in addition to usual RV Park store supplies. Many permanent residents; they are friendly and generally have attractive, well kept sites. Their children and pets are well behaved. Many tree & shrub plantings, no grass, no mowers, no leaf blowers – hooray. The wooded creek toward the back of the park has a sand bag levee. Choose higher ground in high water conditions. Good Verizon signal. Cable TV good except for very poor reception on ABC & NBC. We felt peaceful in the pleasant surroundings and will come here again. Environmentally unconscious; no recycling. - meanderingman

I spent a week and a half here and enjoyed it. The owner and people working at the park were friendly and helpful. I think this is the best park in the south sound area and will stay there whenever I visit the area. They have a large gravel pull through section with full hookups, its gently sloped back to front and fairly level but un-landscaped, no picnic tables. The store is pretty well supplied. Spots along the creek are in the long term section. - User1806

US Democrats have proposed substituting the $85 billion "meat-ax" approach to deficit reduction with a mix of spending cuts and tax hikes, although they acknowledge it is not clear if that will be embraced by President Barack Obama.
Facing government spending cuts that could delay air travelers, pare education programs for the poor and weaken military readiness, Democrats in the US Congress this week sought to shift the deficit-reduction burden to the rich.
Without congressional action, about $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts are set to begin on March 1. If allowed to continue, they could slow economic growth this year, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.
The savings, known in Washington as the "sequester," would cut into most military and domestic programs. Worse, they would be compressed into a short time frame of March 1-Sept. 30, when Washington's fiscal year ends.
In a taunt to Republicans who oppose any tax increases to reduce deficits, Democrats are again aiming at squeezing more revenues out of the wealthy to help bring down the debt. It is a gambit they successfully deployed weeks ago when a "fiscal cliff" deal raised around $600 billion over 10 years by letting income tax rates rise on the highest earners.
"They (Republicans) have to tell the American people whether they care more about protecting special-interest tax breaks like those for big oil companies or whether they care about defense spending and economic growth," said Democratic Representative Chris Van Hollen of Maryland. He spoke to Reuters on the sidelines of a three-day House Democratic retreat.
Most of the Democrats' savings ideas already have been floated in past legislative debates.
Van Hollen, the senior Democrat on the House Budget Committee, said that under their plan, tax deductions for the very wealthy would be limited by phasing in a 30 percent effective tax rate for those earning more than $1 million a year.
This minimum tax would be separate from the income tax hike that started on Jan. 1 for households with incomes above $450,000 a year.
These added revenues for the Treasury, Van Hollen said, would be further augmented by eliminating a long-held tax break for the profitable oil and gas industry. And on the spending side, Democrats would end government payments to farmers that are largely enjoyed by big agricultural operations.
Asked whether he thought Obama would publicly embrace these savings to head off the "sequester" possibly next week in his State of the Union address

As much as I detest Camille Grammer on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, hearing the story of how she knew her marriage to husband Kelsey was over really tore at me. Kelsey was based in New York to do La Cage aux Folles on Broadway, while Camille and the kids were back home in Malibu. When she came out to New York to attend the Tonys with her husband, Kelsey told Camille that he wanted to split up because he'd met someone new. However, he though that they should attend the awards together as a couple and she should stay at a hotel instead of his apartment. She went through with it. More

Joan W. Bennett, a professor in the department of cell and molecular biology at Tulane University, was elected to the National Academy of Sciences yesterday at its 142nd annual meeting in Washington, D.C. Election to the academy is considered one of the highest honors for a U.S. scientist or engineer.
The National Academy of Sciences is a private organization of scientists and engineers dedicated to the furtherance of science and its use for the general welfare. A congressional act of incorporation signed by Abraham Lincoln in 1863 established the academy as an official adviser to the federal government in matters of science or technology.
Bennett was one of 72 new members and 18 foreign associates from 14 countries elected to the academy in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research. Foreign associates are nonvoting members of the academy, with citizenship outside the United States. The newly elected members bring the total number of active academy members to 1,976.

Judge Tammy Bass-LeSure, husband turn selves in at jail
A judge and her husband, who have been charged with fraud, turned themselves in this morning at the Oklahoma County jail to be fingerprinted and have their photos taken. Oklahoma County District Judge Tammy Bass-LeSure and Karlos LeSure were charged Friday. Prosecutors allege the two became foster parents and then adopted twins that they secretly gave away to the sister of the judge's bailiff. Prosecutors allege the judge kept some of the state funds paid her for the children's care and spent it on herself including at spas, nail salons and casinos. Some of the funds were passed along to the bailiff's sister, records show. The booking process took about 20 minutes. The judge and husband then had their first court appearances on the felony case. Special Judge Russell Hall entered not guilty pleas on their behalf. A preliminary hearing conference was scheduled for March 31. As she left the jail, her attorney told the media she maintains she is 100 percent innocent.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – May 8, 2007 – A fast-growing business insurance unit of the State Auto Insurance Companies is coming to Texas, which recently became the companies' 29th state of operation through the acquisition of the Beacon Insurance Group of Wichita Falls, Texas.
State Auto Middle Market Insurance (SAMMI) was created in early 2004 in response to agent requests to expand the size and scope of its commercial lines business to include larger commercial risks, usually with at least $100,000 in annual premium. Since that time, SAMMI, headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, has grown exponentially, necessitating the creation of offices in Naperville (Chicago), Ill., Peoria (Phoenix), Ariz., and Hunt Valley (Baltimore), Md. Gerald F. Ladner has been named vice president of SAMMI's new southwestern zone office in Austin, Texas.
"We're looking forward to moving aggressively into the Texas market with State Auto's personal and business insurance products through Beacon, which is now our southwest region office," said State Auto Chairman and CEO Bob Restrepo. "Gerald and our SAMMI team, based in Austin, will offer our new agency partners in Texas the ability to write even larger business risks, with the exceptional service and support that those agents expect and deserve."
Ladner was named one of 35 rising executives within the industry by Business Insurance magazine in 2002. His 25-year career includes a number of management and senior management roles with CG/Aetna, CIGNA and Zurich. Ladner also served as president and chief operating officer of an Atlanta-based independent insurance agency. He was most recently regional vice president of the Austin (Texas) unit of Zenith Insurance.
