10 Healthy Snacks
Ditch the chips and cookies and bring these healthier team snacks to your child's next game or practice!
When children have opportunities to make decisions and increase their independence, they see that their own identity is important. They are able to build confidence when their thoughts and opinions are valued by those around them.
10 Things Parents Can Ask To Help Kids Learn Life Lessons From Sports
These questions, in the right moments and situations involving sports, can help your child draw the parallels between lessons learned in sports so they can apply them to life and the bigger overall picture. Children may not readily understand that connection, but by communicating with them using these conversation starters, they will start to draw the parallels themselves.

Obama administration rubber stamps Shell's drilling plans for the Arctic's Chukchi Sea
In the latest in a series of reckless decisions about America's Arctic Ocean, the Obama administration today gave Royal Dutch Shell the green light to drill in the Arctic's Chukchi Sea beginning next summer - despite the fact that there is no proven way to clean up an oil spill in the Arctic's extreme conditions and there is significant dearth of scientific information, making it impossible to understand the impacts of Shell's activities.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) announced conditional approval of Shell's plan to drill six exploratory wells in the Chukchi Sea in 2012 and 2013. This decision follows on the heels of the Obama administration's controversial approval of exploratory drilling in the Arctic's Beaufort Sea, also beginning in the summer of 2012. However, before Shell can actually begin drilling the administration still must approve a series of permits – including a final APD or "application for permit to drill."
The Arctic Ocean is prone to hurricane-force storms, 20-foot swells, pervasive sea ice, frigid temperatures and months-long darkness. There is no proven way to clean up an oil spill in these extreme conditions. What's more, the Arctic has extremely limited infrastructure to provide the support and equipment needed for a spill. Administration officials themselves have expressed concerns about spill response in the Arctic. Admiral Robert Papp, the top officer at the U.S. Coast Guard, recently told Congress that if the Deepwater Horizon disaster was "to happen off the North Slope of Alaska, we'd have nothing. We're starting from ground zero today."
The last public spill drill in the Arctic – that tested booms and skimmers and other conventional methods of oil spill cleanup in partial sea ice conditions in 2000 – was deemed a failure.
In addition, scientists, courts, communities, and, most recently, the U.S. Geological Survey, have identified basic missing scientific information that makes it impossible to fully and fairly evaluate Shell's plans.
Since the BP Gulf tragedy in 2010, the federal government instituted a capping and containment requirement for well blowouts that requires containment be in place within 15 days. Shell has not built or tested under Arctic conditions such a structure.
Alaska Native communities have existed in the Arctic for thousands of years, alongside myriad species of wildlife including polar bears, bowhead whales, walrus, ice seals and hundreds of species of birds. An oil spill in these Arctic waters would destroy vital habitat for this wildlife as well as the subsistence lifestyle that sustains the Inupiat people of Alaska's Arctic coast.
"In the wake of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, President Obama promised a new way of making decisions about drilling in this country. Approving Shell's plans to drill in the Chukchi Sea next summer, with no viable method to clean up an oil spill and limited information about the Arctic's fragile marine environment, fails to meet these promises," said Cindy Shogan, Executive Director of Alaska Wilderness League. "Unless President Obama chooses to set himself up to be left with the next major oil spill disaster on his hands, he must deny Shell's final permits to drill and ensure that no drilling will occur in the Arctic Ocean without the safeguards Americans expect."
"BOEM has stuck its head in the sand and rubber stamped Shell's plan without any thoughtful review or apparent care for our oceans," said Michael LeVine, Pacific Senior Counsel for Oceana. "This approval makes a mockery of Secretary Salazar's stated commitments to science, the legal obligation to be prepared for a spill, and the basic idea of government as stewards of public resources. Every commission, committee, and review other than those prepared by BOEM and the oil industry has shown that we are not ready to drill in the Chukchi Sea."
"It's a sure sign that our thirst for oil has clouded our ability to reason when we start thinking it's a good idea to drill for oil in the harshest environment on earth," said Rebecca Noblin, Alaska Director for Center for Biological Diversity. "Rather than looking for the next risky fossil fuel fix, the Obama administration should be working to give Americans a clean energy future. A decision to drill in the Arctic is a decision to destroy it."
"While it is really clear that cleanup technologies are not adequate to mitigate a spill, we actually have no idea of the extent of the impacts on marine life from noise generated by the industry," said Michael Stocker, Director of Ocean Conservation Research. "Seismic air gun surveys, underwater telemetry, thruster stabilized exploratory platforms, shipping and transport noise, and seafloor stationed processing equipment will all significantly transform the noise profile of an environment that heretofore has only heard biological and natural sounds."
"Royal Dutch Shell is still cleaning up from its disastrous oil spill in the North Sea over the summer. And now the Obama administration wants to green light this company to drill in the Arctic, where we have neither the technology, the equipment nor the wherewithal to respond to an oil spill in subzero temperatures and icy water?" said Chuck Clusen, Director, National Parks and Alaska Projects, Natural Resources Defense Council. "This decision invites yet another disaster of epic proportions."
"The risk to the fragile Arctic area and Alaska communities is clear. Spill prevention, containment and response systems are not equipped to work in challenging Arctic conditions – in short, when there is a spill in the Arctic, we will not be able to clean it up, said Dan Ritzman, Sierra Club Alaska Program Director. "Smarter transportation choices, not dangerous drilling plans, are what we should be pushing forward."
"It's disappointing that the Obama administration continues to press forward on Arctic drilling when we don't yet have the science to make smart decisions on whether, where, when and how to drill in the Chukchi Sea," said Andrew Hartsig, Director of Ocean Conservancy's Arctic Program. "The Arctic is one of the most beautiful places on Earth—and one of the most forbidding and vulnerable. What would happen if a major spill occurred? We haven't ensured that important subsistence and ecological areas will be adequately protected, and don't have the capacity to respond effectively. Until we do, the administration should not approve drilling in the Chukchi Sea."
"The Obama administration is asking the public to accept Arctic Ocean drilling without necessary protections, just as the Bush Administration did. At present, the public is not confident that Shell or any other operator will protect the Arctic Ocean merely by knowing that BOEM and BSEE have approved all existing permit requirements," said Lois Epstein, an engineer and Arctic Program Director for The Wilderness Society who also serves on a federal advisory committee for BSEE.
"Until there is a proven method to clean up an oil spill and safeguards in place, oil companies should not be allowed to drill in the Arctic Ocean," said Hans Cole, Environmental Grants Manager for Patagonia, Inc.
"If you liked the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, you will love Shell's plan for Alaska," said Mike Daulton, Vice President of Government Relations, National Audubon Society. "Shell has never demonstrated the ability to effectively clean up a large oil spill in the Arctic Ocean. In addition to the usual problems handling a major spill, Alaska has huge ocean waves, gale force winds and widespread sea ice. A major oil spill in Alaska would be Deepwater Horizon meets the Titanic."
"Oil is earning interest in the ground. Until there is a proven way to develop it without risk of spill, and until we have ways of using it that do not pollute the atmosphere, we should allow it to gain interest for future generations," Ben Millstein, Kodiak Island Brewing.
"The field of Soundscape Ecology reveals that human-induced noise has a profound effort on the ability of marine mammals to communicate and thrive in increasingly fragile ocean environments. The Chukchi Sea must be denied permission to drill before these creatures and their habitat could likely be irreparably altered," said Kat Krause, Wild Sanctuary.
"There is a profound connection between nature, animal, and human health and well-being. From Polar bears to Phytoplankton, creatures of the Chukchi Sea are worth celebrating. This Arctic Ocean needs scientific, academic, and artistic exploration - not risky exploitation," said Kat Krause, Arctic Live.
"America's Arctic Ocean is a pristine and fragile environment. Its importance to the survival of polar bears, bowhead whales and other marine life is too great to hand over to Big Oil given the inadequate assurances of safety," said Jamie Rappaport Clark, president and CEO of Defenders of Wildlife. "The administration needs a realistic oil spill response and recovery plan before exposing this unique region with its fragile wildlife to an oil disaster we are unlikely to be able to control."
"Shell's efforts to begin offshore oil drilling in an area where they lack the capacity to stop or clean up a spill are deeply troubling," said Alex Taurel, Legislative Representative for the League of Conservation Voters. "This is the same company that just this year was responsible for the largest oil spill in more than a decade in the UK's North Sea. Instead of doubling down on dangerous and expensive sources of energy like oil, we should continue efforts to cut our dependence on oil and spur clean energy."

Dnassiri75 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 88 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
I am an attorney. I use medical marijuana, which is legal in the State of California. I also represent medical marijuana dispensaries as part of my law firm practice, so this business, "Daily Bud Deals.com" is going to be fun because it is related to what I am already doing with the dispensaries and groupon is doing pretty good, so hopefully we will, too. Im going to want to get more items for this project too, like promotional stuff, website stuff, ect. the business is starting in Southern California with plans to grow to the other states in the USA that offer legal medical marijuana.
This is a logo for a website that will facilitate purchases of medical marijuana between the collectives (clinics that sell the marijuana) and their patients who can legally use medical marijuana. The collecitves are also called dispensaries. This is my target audience, the collectives and the patients. I need the collectives to join my website so they can offer the special deals to their patients. I also need the patients to join the website so they can get daily email alerts about the daily deals offered by the collectives.
This is a logo for a group buying website similar to Groupon.com. The website will post daily deals on medical marijuana. The logo im looking for is something fun but professional looking. The logo should instill confidence in the consumer and make them feel like that are saving money on their medicine and that is a good thing. I dont want to use marijuana leaves that are very obvious, but you could use something that is subtle.
you could look at some of my competitors websites so you can see that the competition does not have a very good logo.

Exclusive! Can Cáthia From 'The Voice' Become The Next Big Pop Star?
07.8.2013 | By Jack Rico | No Comments">No Comments
When I first met Cáthia, I was at the Telemundo NY offices. I was about to do my movie review segment live in Spanish when the anchor teased she was coming up next. I immediately asked the producers if I could meet her and they acquiesced swiftly. I went backstage and there she was, zestful, humble, and talkative. She was with her sweet mother and her dynamic manager and there I was badgering her with questions about her singing in Spanish on The Voice. I just couldn't believe she did that on national English language TV. It was groundbreaking. Read More

Prior to switching our website to TWT's SunShop shopping cart, I spent more time dealing with coding to gain the functionality we desired in the .ASP platform than we did growing our online presence. Through a random search, I came across SunShop and was pleasantly surprised at the feature it contained as well as the price of the product. The features alone sold me on the product, but one item I was looking for in a new solution was the community support as connecting with fellow users is a powerful way to enhance the experience with a product. I was amazed to see how active the SunShop community was in helping others troubleshoot any issues as well as give advice on enhancements to help my store run more smoothly. I am the type that is hard to impress and I have been impressed from day 1 and have not regretted my switch to TWT's SunShop.
- Tony Mock
I have used a number of shopping carts and now have been searching for the last month for a replacement due to the inflexibility and limitations of my current site. I was very impressed with the look, features, reviews and forum comments for SunShop and once I contacted SunShop with many questions, they were quick and concise in their replies, like no other, so much so that I purchased SunShop, which is was very reasonable-I am impressed.

Having trawled the internet looking for a smart, modern e-commerce solution, I thankfully stumbled upon SunShop. Not only do Turnkey Web Tools provide a cheaper alternative to some of the better known alternatives, it also understands the needs of the present day e-commerce site, providing regular updates to keep up with the latest features and trends. The script is quick and easy to set up, with excellent 24hr support to help iron out any teething problems, essential for a website that cannot afford lengthy downtime and the associated loss of sales. The admin section allows for easy modification of the well-designed templates, offering a great degree of flexibility and control. With the website up and running, it requires very little maintenance - processing orders and making changes to the product catalogue couldn't be easier...and keeping the customer updated with dispatch / payment notifications etc is all beautifully automated. Most importantly, the script is designed with the latest SEO in mind, to drive that all important traffic to your site.
This really is a great solution for a database driven e-commerce site, it just makes everything so easy... which creates more time to spend on other areas of your business. For the money it's a fantastic investment.

SunShop allowed us to implement a Shopping Cart system that met our clients needs and our budget. Installation was relatively simple for a non-technical business owner and maintenance has been a breeze.
We hired a 3rd party to do some some initial customization for us to enable an ongoing product pricing updates. The coding of the program made that very affordable. Matching the look of the cart to our website was easily accomplished with CSS.
The Forums are a wealth of information, and online support is usually very responsive. We particularly appreciate that SunShop allows us to offer a full functioned Shopping Cart with no ongoing licensing costs.

Page Pottery
My wife Kristen and I make handmade pottery together. We love what we do but found it difficult finding our niche customers. SunShop has made it easy for the two of us to build our site ourselves. Now we have quit our day jobs and sell our work directly to our customers ourselves. The freedom of working from home and doing what we love has forever changed our lives. SunShop shopping cart has literally made that dream come true.
We are often asked "Who did your site" We gladly let them know we did it ourselves. With SunShop we were able to create a very in depth site with hundreds of pages without knowing html and having little technical experience. We had no problems customizing it to fit our needs. Everything was a breeze, from the SEO, accepting payments, to setting up the shipping calculator. So now we have more time for doing what we love and increasing our profits! Thanks Turn Key Web Tools.

Pretty much the same post I threw up in late October about NaNoWriMo 2012.
Between working on this project and finishing the NaNoWriMo novel (I did get over 50,000 words in during November to "win" the event), I won't be posting much on the blogs until 2013.
I wanted to do something quick and easy for One Day since the more complex idea a friend and I had will be impossible, since I am in Sacramento and not Portland, but things happen and after doing some planning and discovering that there is a theme for this years event, my idea for this year will be pretty complicated to edit.
Of course, I won't be filming until Wednesday 12.12.12, but before then there is some prep work, and after there is going to be a whole bunch of editing. And a whole bunch of writing on the novel. And a whole bunch of major life stuff.
So the blogs will remain on hold for the time being.
Yes, this is being reposted everywhere…

A pup can spin a few cirles and curl up in the Nest Dog Bed by Big Shrimpy, feeling cozy and secure inside its plush walls. Distinctive rolled rim. The outer walls and removable center pillow of the Nest beds are made of soft polyester fleece or faux suede with a tough 420 denier nylon packcloth base. They unzip to access an inner bolster and cushion made of ripstop nylon. The inner bolster and cushion are filled with SmartFill™, 100% recycled fiber. The bolster and cushion are odor- and water-resistant, but if necessary, they can be unzipped to remove and wash the SmartFill. Of course, the outer covers and inner bolster/cushion are washable as well. Please see the Catalina bed for toy breeds or cats.
These characteristics extend the life of the bed, allowing a pet owner to simply replace the outer covers when needed instead of discarding the entire bed. Outer covers can be purchased separately for replacement or for a new look. Additionally, the bed is designed to be flipped inside-out to further extend its usable life.

The original luxury subcompact.
A premium-brand subcompact seemed strange when the Audi A3 first arrived in 2006, but the market seems to be coming around to the idea. Witness the Lexus CT200h, the Volvo C30, and now the Acura ILX and the Buick Verano. The reason for this trend is that there are enough places in the United States — in large cities, for instance — where space is at a premium and small but versatile cars make sense. Often, those urban buyers are wealthy enough to afford a luxury vehicle. Being an Audi, the A3 has its share of premium equipment such as standard leather, but it is based on the last-generation Volkswagen Golf, and that means it's getting on in years. That's evident in its packaging — interior room is at a premium — and in its fuel economy. There are plenty of bigger cars that get better gas mileage than the A3 with its 2.0T four-cylinder. The available TDI engine, however, needs no excuses. It hits 42 mpg on the highway and comes standard with Audi's benchmark dual-clutch automatic transmission. We think a torque-happy turbo-diesel is a much more pleasant way to break the 40-mpg barrier than in a breathless, underpowered hybrid. The only bummer is that, unlike the 2.0T, the diesel engine can't be had with a manual transmission, nor can it be combined with all-wheel drive.

Delta: Outdoor airport decks in Atlanta and NY
ATLANTA (AP) - Delta Air Lines is planning to open outdoor terraces with sweeping runway views for its Delta Sky Clubs members at New York's John F. Kennedy and Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airports.
Delta officials said in a statement that the Sky Deck terraces will offer "unprecedented" airport views.
The terrace at JFK will be located in a $1.2 billion redevelopment of Terminal 4 set to open in May. In Atlanta, The Sky Deck is to open this summer adjacent to the Delta Sky Club in Atlanta's new international terminal.
Tim Mapes, Delta's senior vice president of marketing, says the airline is partnering with Architectural Digest and designer Thom Filicia to design the terraces.
Delta says the airline has opened or renovated 13 clubs across its system in the past 24 months.

Marquette, like many universities, has hundreds of computers in academic labs, the library, research labs, and on desktops. These computers are often idle throughout various parts of the day, using electricity while not performing useful work. Rather than waste these resources, they can be turned into powerful research tools if configured appropriately.
Drs. Craig Struble and Lars Olson with the help of biomedical engineering undergraduate David Herzfeld have created Pools of Virtual Boxes to utilize Marquette's idle resources. Built on Condor and VirtualBox, idle Windows machines in labs run Linux and provide computational cycles for researchers across campus. These cycles are used to assist in drug discovery, MRI image analysis, genetic analyses, and many other projects.
The software is open source and available from Sourceforge

NAWM Elects Trustees, Alumni Board Membersby Jim Amidon • June 15, 2004 Share:
Re-elected to four-year terms as Alumni Trustees were Dudley Burgess '64 and David Shane '70. Both men are serving their second terms as Alumni Trustees. Six members of the Board of Trustees are elected by the alumni.
Burgess is a resident of St. Charles, Illinois, and is the retired vice president of government affairs for A.T.&T. Corporation. He majored in English at Wabash, served as president of his fraternity, Beta Theta Pi, and was president of the Interfraternity Council. He is the past-president of the National Association of Wabash Men Board of Directors.
Shane, of Indianapolis, Indiana, is president of LDI Limited. He majored in English at Wabash and earned his law degree from Duke University. He previously was a partner in the Indianapolis law firm of Baker and Daniels. Shane received the Frank W. Misch Alumni Service Award from the NAWM in 2002.
Alumni re-elected the following men to serve three-year terms on the Board of Directors of the NAWM: Jay Fisher '66 (Grand Rapids, MI), Duane Hile '67 (Cleveland, OH), and Eric Rowland '86 (Indianapolis, IN), while electing for an initial term Brian Flanigan '96 (Chicago, IL). Ray LaDriere '78 of Dallas Alumni Association was appointed as a Regional Alumni Association Representative to the NAWM Board.
Alumni also re-elected Charlie Finch '51 (St. Louis, MO) to the Board of Directors of the NAWM, but Finch passed away in June of a sudden heart attack.
"Our alumni appreciate the opportunity to play a key role in selecting alumni leadership," said Tom Runge '71, director of alumni affairs at Wabash. "Alumni from classes as far back as 1927 to 2003—a span of 76 years—voted in both Alumni Trustee and NAWM Board elections. In both cases, Wabash was fortunate to have a complete slate of highly talented men willing to serve the College in these important positions."
The Board of Trustees and Board of Directors of the NAWM meet on campus three times each year to work with College officials to advance the mission of Wabash College. The NAWM Board is also involved with honoring alumni with the Alumni Awards of Merit; selecting candidates for the Athletics Hall of Fame; and choosing honorary alumni of the College.

But if its faster then a ML why arent Jhonny, Adam, Bryan, Riccardo etc using it if its faster???drewkite wrote:Where can i contact NJS? Im interestedpndLA wrote:just wondering... did you take a look at the NJS board yet? or contact Nils about delivery time?
just a side info.... we (at the shop) got a mail from from ozone a few weeks ago where matt is writing about the boards:
and to make sure: i am not involved with NJS at all - i just met Nils when he visited our lake some weeks ago and got to try the board and was really impressed!Nils owner and shaper of NJS Designs that has been the leader of Kite race Board design since the beginning. We are riding the CF6 and we have been fortunate to also have a Mikes Lab to compare to. Both boards are by far the leading race boards currently available and our support is 100% behind Mikes Lab and NJS and support is what they deserve and need from us all as the major brands copy their designs......I am riding one of the 1st batch of production NJS CF6's from Cobra and its seriously fast, even Mikes Lab himself at Sherman Island just before the USA Championships back to backed with his friend Nils and came in saying to us all the CF6 was faster especially easier downwind.....This is exactly what I have found, the CF6 is far easier to ride = faster thanks to its finer entry nose/rail shape and a pointed nose, not a b. lunt nose like the ML.....I am entered for the Worlds and have the luxury of choosing which board to take. Both are excellent & ML also have their 1st production order with Cobra being made as I tap but I've decided to compete with the NJS CF6 at the Worlds as it has made me faster.

With the legal drinking age of 18 back then and not much to do in Wisconsin, people would often come see his bands perform at taverns or pubs.
"If people wanted to have a good time they went to a bar," Olson said.
Because life as a musician was unstable, he put his love for music on the back burner and became a financial planner 35 years ago when he moved to Forest Hills. He worked as a corporate banker for three decades, but five years ago started his own company, Olson Tax and Financial Planning.
But his passion for music never left him. He is currently the president of Musica Reginae, a non profit classical chamber music organization that began 13 years ago. The name in Latin translates to the "Music of Queens."
"The goal of Musica Reginae is to put on some really good concerts," he said.
The group hosts five concerts a season at The Church-in-the-Gardens in Forest Hills, and is looking to start hosting music by composers working today. Musica Reginae's May concert will be part of the third annual Queens New Music Festival (queensnewmusicfestival.org).
"We're trying to create a community of people interested in contemporary classical music," Olson said.

Whereas Pope John Paul II's visit to Cuba nearly 15 years ago was in itself a historic moment – coming as it did at the end of a dark period for church-state relations in Cuba – Pope Benedict XVI's visit to the island this week was more about consolidating spaces the Cuban Catholic Church has won in society, and about gaining more such space. Those who hoped this pope's trip would have profound impact on the broader political and human rights context on the island were surely disappointed by the pope's decision not to meet with Cuban dissidents who asked to see him.
To some extent, it's hard to imagine what prominent figure really could sway Cuba's leaders off of their course to rebuild the economy and leave the one-party political system in place. Perhaps I'm being naive, but I tend to think the Cuban people themselves will be the protagonists of that evolution, even if it takes much longer than some, or many, wish.
But given the ground the Cuban Catholic Church lost decades ago, the ground it has recovered in the past decade, and its priorities for the future near and far, creating more space for those goals must have been the driving factors in the pope's trip. And perhaps that increased space in society – whether it is the Cuba Catholic Church's publication of unvarnished criticisms of Raul Castro's halting economic reforms, or the hoped-for reopening of private Catholic schools in Cuba one day, or Pope Benedict's request to add Good Friday to the Cuban State's official calendar – perhaps these advances, and reaches, by the Catholic Church and its offices and members in Cuban society at a crucial time of generational change may help usher in other social and political openings.
That is the road the church has chosen for itself in modern-day Cuba. Rather than serve as a force for opposition, it looks for opportunities for constructive engagement with the government in ways that it feels can benefit the Cuban people.
Many observers were aghast when, just before the pope's visit, Cuban Catholic Church leaders requested that government authorities remove 13 dissidents who had been "occupying" a Havana church for several days. (Accounts differ about how peaceably they were evicted from the church.) I'm certainly no expert in religious affairs, but many saw this action as the church siding with the oppressor and refusing sanctuary to these dissidents (as houses of worship often do, though usually in situations when someone is fleeing armed conflict). Considering the positive role Cuba's Catholic Church has played specifically on human rights in Cuba in the past several years, I thought there might be more nuanced views of the cardinal's decision than I've read so far.
Whatever the Cuban Catholic Church's failings, let's remember that it was one of Cardinal Jaime Ortega's letters to Raul Castro seeking an end to harassment of a peaceful protest group, the Ladies in White, that helped reinstate the group's weekly marches, which had been suspended by the government, and led to a face to face ongoing dialogue with Raul Castro, and the release of all of Cuba's political prisoners in the following months.
The Catholic Church in Cuba has for several years been working two fronts, trying to increase its ministry to Cubans' spiritual and physical needs on a daily and individual level, and trying to increase space for dialogue, tolerance, and reconciliation. And while it has eschewed a more overtly political role, it's been known to speak out on human rights and governance issues that affect the welfare of the population. It has succeeded in influencing the Cuban government into not merely ceding the increased space, but proudly celebrating that new space. For example, Raul Castro attended the opening of the church's new seminary in Havana last year. What other nongovernmental group has such influence in Cuba?
In some cases, the church's effort has meant getting directly involved in specific human rights cases, whether it concerned the increased harassment of the Ladies in White two years ago, or the release of Cuban political prisoners in 2010 and 2011 which church leaders helped negotiate. Many have criticized Ortega for his role in the releases, since dozens of prisoners and their families were first just offered freedom in exile (in Spain). Perhaps some of those dissidents didn't believe that the government would truly let them go free in Cuba and surely others wanted to leave a country – the government sweetened the deal by letting them bring their entire extended families with them – that offered them little but bad memories. But about a dozen others refused that first offer and though they were the last to be released, they were all released and allowed to remain in Cuba, keeping to the agreement the church said it had with the Cuban government.
When it comes to drawing the church into politics, just how mighty is its influence with Cuba's leaders? And where is the line between seeking refuge in a church and seeking political leverage at the expense of one? These are not easy questions, and they should not negate the very valid societal concerns that the group of dissidents wished to raise when they chose to occupy the church. The dissidents presented a list of improvements in rights and living conditions that surely every Cuban wants, but which the church could not possibly be expected to deliver (nor could Pope Benedict, with whom the group demanded an audience). The aim of the group, then, was to put the church in an impossible situation just days before the most important occasion for the Catholic Church in Cuba in over a decade. That – and, to be fair, to at least raise these concerns publicly, as news of a church occupation days before the pope's arrival would surely do.
But the archdiocese felt it was being drawn into a political tug of war. "Nobody has the right to turn temples into political trenches," said the Havana Archdiocese's spokesman, Orlando Marquez. And even other Cuban dissidents were quick to distance themselves from the tactic of using a house of worship to achieve political aims. But they were just as, if not more, critical of the decision to turn the occupiers out. So if the tactic of occupying a house of worship was inappropriate, but eviction was not an appropriate response, how else might the situation have been resolved? I, for one, haven't got the answer, and I haven't heard any of the cardinal's numerous critics come up with one, either.

"The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone." Henrik Ibsen
As rowers from Springside Chestnut Hill, Germantown Friends, and Penn Charter took to the river last Sunday for the second Manny Flick regatta, two solo acts emerged victorious. SCH senior Jen Sager won the girls' senior single, and GFS junior Andrew Bair took top honors in the boys' junior single category.
Sager was a member of the Lions' Stotesbury champion senior quad last year, but two members of that crew graduated, and at least for the time being, she's on her own this spring. Last Sunday she turned in a winning time of six minutes, 11.28 seconds, passing the wire 31 seconds ahead of the runner-up from Conestoga High School.
For the second week in a row, Germantown's Bair clocked the best overall time in two flights of the JV single. He completed the course in 5:52.03, while a rower from Roman Catholic checked in second at 6:00.75, and the other flight was won in 5:59.73 by an entry from Bonner-Prendergast. Two schoolmates of Bair's had signed on to race in the junior double, but were scratched from the schedule on Sunday.
The other returning member of the SCH Lions' Stotesbury quad, senior Anna Valciukas, was the bow rower in one of two varsity quads put out by the school. With Anna Rose Bedrosian, Sanna Johnson, and Kathryn Blake filling out the foursome, this designated "B" boat (5:40.76) finished fourth in its race, while in a slower flight that followed, SCH "A" (5:59.39) placed third with a line-up of (stroke to bow) Mozelle Rosenthal, Allie Schreffler, Chelsea Richardson, and Mia Gold.
Out of two SCH entries in the girls' JV double, the best result came from the duo of Alana Noble and Emily Eisler, who were second in their flight while putting up the third-best time overall, 6:09.40.
For the SCH boys, an absence caused some shuffling of line-ups in a pair of JV quads, and each boat came in fourth in its flight. The Blue Devils' "B" crew (Larry Wargo, Dylan Brush, Graham Ervin, Andrea Dragani) were timed in 5:41.34, and the "A" boat came in at 5:46.25. Both groups have some work to do, since Inter-Ac League rival Haverford School finished comfortably under the five-minute mark.
Elsewhere, the Devils received a second-place performance in the lightweight double from "Team Batocato." Seniors Drew Adubato (stroke) and Carl Delacato checked in at 5:24.47, six seconds behind victorious Haverford and 16 seconds ahead of the next finisher.
Leading off the day for Penn Charter was the only novice boat sent out by any of the local programs, a girls' double staffed by Sophie Eldridge (stroke) and Rachel Gordon. There was only one other boat in this class, and the PC freshmen easy dispatched their Sacred Heart rivals, winning by over 24 seconds in 6:25.03.
Heidi Zisselman and Maria Georgiou, customarily crew mates in a junior double, were in a junior quad last Sunday along with Katie O'Malley and Tara Malone. They enjoyed a second-place outcome with a time of 5:43.52, while another Charter quad struggled, bringing up the rear in the other flight in this class.
The Quakers' Sam Jolinger and Clay Bryan also had a rough go when they raced in the varsity double, but at least they got out on the water. Half-a-dozen other PC boys had been slated to race in a JV double and quad, but both boats were withdrawn due to illness and other difficulties.

TV Journalist Kareem Farid told me about this forgotten hidden place in Sharkia where there is small village of Palestinian refugees who came to Egypt since 1948 from the Nakba staying there since then. He told me that the village with population of 3000 refugees at least is extremely poor and needs help. He also warned me that I will not find its place on the map and he was right as I could not find any official existence for the village in any Egyptian map or Google map or GPS.
My only geographical lead is that it is near Abu Kabeer town and it is known there as the Arabs village. I asked everybody about it in Sharkia from members of big families there to reporters of major Egyptian newspapers to labor activists who know everybody. No one knew that this village exist at all let alone there is a Palestinian refugee community there.
In online search there were very mentions for the place and its history. There was a report for Al Monitor about Palestinian refugees in Egypt that led me to a documentary produced earlier this year by Al Mayadeen TV channel that featured that place with no existence on the map. The documentary "The forgotten ones" was the first media exposure to this small community. Other than that the only mentions I could find were couple of mentions in the official website of the Palestinian embassy in Cairo about how the embassy is helping the village as much as it can.
Of course now you will find its name mentioned frequently during this week thanks to ONTV show last Friday about it "Thanks to Kareem Farid and Ahmed Baqawi" and hopefully it will gain more and more attention as it should.
Last Friday I went there with my friend Maya from Ahram Online and Palestinian activist Ahmed Baqawi. He already told the people there would be guests visiting the small village. It would take three hours in Friday morning to reach our destination from Downtown Cairo.
Mogamma El Tahrir as Palestinian refugees.
The village is encircled by that mud wall around it , you feel that you are entering a maze till you are really inside. The people told me that they made this wall for protection from long time ago.
Most of the houses here are made of mud with straw roof while the roads are extremely narrow. There are couple of houses though built by cement and new under construction with red bricks.
The story of the village is better to be known from the elderly who witnessed the Nakba itself. I met 3 of the remaining elderly who came from Beersheba on camels. Originally from one big clan in Beersheba about 6 brothers and their extended families from Bedouins.
MR. Salman "born in 1930s" told us how his clan used to farm watermelon in Beersheba when they had to leave due to the war. The clan came thinking at first that this was a temporary situation. They built shelters and huts from straw at first then when days and months passed they began to built mud Nile Delta homes.
According to MRS. Nafela "born in 1920s" the trip from BeerSheeba to Fadel Island took about 15 days.Riding camels and setting camps all the way till they get to this spot from 65. She was only a bride and came with her husband and his family leaving her mother in Beersheba.
I knew that the elderly who ruled the community in the village rejected the idea of marrying from Egyptians hoping one day that they would return back to Palestine. Only two decades the Palestinians in the villages were allowed to marry Egyptians.
Despite their ancestors started as farmers in this area , the people now in Fadel Island work in plastic recycling. They bring garbage and take plastic to recycle it through melting if I understand correctly. The children work in this process.
We met the mayor Mohamed El Nahamawly at a guest room opened by the Palestinian ambassador in Cairo from couple of years ago. Mayor El Nahamawly is the grandson of the man that led the people to this place. He inherited the position from his father. In a Nile Delta accent he explained to us that despite the people there are originally from Palestine yet they are typical Egyptian village. We knew that they got this tradition reconciliation system like in Bedouin communities to solve their problems away from the legal system.
The meeting was like a scene taken from a Tawfik El Hakim novel about Nile Delta mayors. He claimed at first that they did not have any problems in the village and that the embassy is helping them but later he spoke about the problems. The village does not have a sewage system still he claimed that all the other neighbor villages. They have got electricity since 1982. The other problem they have is the lack of health care.
The people in the village can not have a clinic despite the ministry of health is ready to fund the clinic and to operate it as well because a clinic needs a land. Palestinians can not own land in Egypt yet they can own buildings. From what I see the children in the village need medical care ASAP.
Already the Children work in garbage and plastic recycle and you can imagine what they are facing.I saw that beautiful baby girl over the shoulders of her brother with inflammation in her eyelid.
I saw another small shy boy who approached me asking to be photographed quietly with cleft lip. He told me in a very low voice that his name was Ali.
The people are poor there and can not afford to be treated as foreigners in Egyptian hospitals. They can not pay in foreign currency.There are NGOs that can help them a lot as refugees.
I forgot to tell you that despite knowing that the illiteracy classroom opened by the embassy is not that functional in advance but we found a teacher there wearing a Palestinian scarf. Also Abu Mazen and Yasser Arafat posters were hanged in the classroom.
MR. Mohamed Abdel Hamid is a teacher that works in an elementary school in Gazira Al Abazaya. This is the nearest school to the village and it is one kilometer away.
Education is not a priority in the village , only 30% of the people there are educated while the rest depend on work. Having large families contribute a lot to this problem , I met a man who got 69 grandchild alone !! Already another man told me that big families means some kids learn while other kids work and that having working kids ease the economic woes now !!!!!! BY the way now Palestinians have to pay LE 110 for each travel document which is actually their ID in Egypt , for some big families it is hard to issue travel documents for 16 kids !!
Back to education woes , MR. Abdel Hamid told us about other problems facing the Palestinian refugees who learn in Egyptian schools and how 2 month red tape procedures as well presenting security approvals to the ministry of education make the Palestinian students miss the books distributed in the schools.
Another problem alarms the Palestinians in the rural village is the future of the food supplies. According to the new system adopted by the ministry of supply in Egypt subsidized food including the bread will be distributed by the Egyptian National ID , it is unclear what their fate will be.
Just a background from 1948 to 1977 Palestinian refugees were treated like Egyptians. They did not have camps here like in Syria or Lebanon. In 1950s President Nasser issued a decision to treat Palestinians like Egyptians. From I understood that decision made the UNRWA unneeded in Egypt. Still in 1977 when President Sadat began moving forward in the Peace Process and the PLO began attacking him to the end of that jazz led him to issue presidential decrees No.48&47 to treat Palestinians like foreigners. For there things become much tougher for Palestinians especially for those forgotten in poor areas like Fadel Island.
There are two documented immigrations of Palestinian refugees in Egypt. The first one was in 1948 and most of the Palestinians there came from Beersheba and Jaffa. They were only 1800 that came. That wave settled down mainly in Sharkia governorate and its different villages and cities like Fadel Island , Bebilis, Zagzig and Fakous. According to Mr. Abu Olan there are not less than 20,000 Palestinian refugee alone in Sharkia. The elderly who came to Sharkia because it was near to Sinai and it was a temporarily thing.
The second wave of refugees came to Egypt in 1967 mainly from Gaza and most of them settled down in Al Arish. There are also small communities of 1967 refugees in areas like Banha in Qalubiya and in Aim Shams , Al Mataria and Al Wali in Cairo.
Here is a photo gallery for the village. I know I had to take more photos.
I will upload couple of video clips I shot there later.
If You are interested to help Fadel Island , Egyptian and Palestinian activists are preparing for convoy of aids to the village mainly to help the kids there. Personally I believe there are lots of NGOs that can help the village and its people. At least it will lift the burden on the Egyptian government.
By the way Fadel Island is now on the map , check the Google map below that post.

A video made by an "amateur scientist" surfaced today from Scotland. It was filmed at Loch Ness, and purports to show the long-rumored "monster." I suppose I could be fooled as easily as the next guy, but the video seems fairly compelling. Here it is:
I'd always been dismissive of Loch Ness stories, but we were in Scotland a few years ago, staying just off the southern end of the lake. We met a local minister who swore that, one evening some years earlier, he had been driving along the shore of Loch Ness and had seen a long, eel-like creature swimming in the water. He was sober at the time, too. (The ambiguity is deliberate.) So, who knows?

Ten players to watch as season heads down stretch
New faces, new places. New roles, too. Opportunities for some. With opportunity comes pressure. We tally up our lists of winners and losers right after the non-waiver Trade Deadline. That's all great fun.
Now is when the really interesting stuff begins, because this is when we're about to find out who really did win and who really did blow it.
New faces, new places. New roles, too. Opportunities for some. With opportunity comes pressure. We tally up our lists of winners and losers right after the non-waiver Trade Deadline. That's all great fun.
Now is when the really interesting stuff begins, because this is when we're about to find out who really did win and who really did blow it.
In the end, it's mostly about which teams grab one of the 10 postseason berths. The Red Sox have a different agenda, but their final 53 games will be as interesting as almost any.
OK, so here's a handy dandy checklist...
Oscar Taveras : This is his opportunity. He has been one of baseball's best prospects for three years. Scouts have long predicted he'll be an impact bat if he ever gets a real opportunity. The Cardinals had trouble finding him that opportunity. With the departure of Allen Craig, the Cardinals will write his name in the lineup regularly and hope that he can provide the power they desperately need.
Will Middlebrooks/Xander Bogaerts: There's no way to overstate how important these two guys are to the Red Sox these last two months. If they play well, it'll give the Red Sox confidence that they've got third base and shortstop taken care of for the foreseeable future. If they can't, then GM Ben Cherington has a huge challenge in assembling a competitive roster for 2015. For Middlebrooks, it's partly about staying healthy. He has been on the disabled list three times over the last two seasons. If he can remain on the field, the Red Sox will find out if he can repeat his nice 2012 numbers (.835 OPS in 286 plate appearances). He has a .687 OPS in two seasons since, but injuries have kept the Red Sox from making a true assessment.
Stephen Vogt /Jonny Gomes: Billy Beane's acquisition of Jon Lester was so stunning because of who he gave up. Yoenis Cespedes strikes out too much, but he also might have a 40-double, 30-homer season. That's the kind of power every team tries to have. But Beane believes that the way to build a championship team is to acquire as much pitching as possible and figure things out offensively. In this case, the A's seem likely to go with a Vogt/Gomes platoon in left. Vogt has an .892 OPS against right-handed pitching this season. Gomes has an .831 OPS against left-handed pitching. Meanwhile, Cespedes has an overall .767 OPS. There are power and defensive considerations to take into account, but if the A's can be anything close to similar production as they had with Cespedes, they'll be happy.
Craig: His offensive dropoff has been nothing short of bizarre. He had an .863 OPS 2011-2013. It was .638 at the time the Cardinals traded him to the Red Sox. He's only 30 years old. He's also a serious kid with a relentless work ethic, and the Red Sox will attempt to get him back on track. Perhaps it'll be as simple as a change of scenery. Scouts who've watched him see someone who got into some bad habits, perhaps to compensate for last season's foot injury. As he tried to adjust, he just made them worse. He seems to have become too conscious about outside pitches, but at Fenway Park, he may notice that big tall thing in left field and decide it would be a good place to bang a few off of. The Red Sox made this deal, in part, because they saw no offensive help available in free agency. They're investing heavily in the belief that Craig will lead a Red Sox renaissance in 2015.
Red Sox kid pitchers: Step right up, boys. Your time has come. Anthony Ranaudo won his Major League debut with six solid innings against the Yankees on Friday. Allen Webster, who made seven starts in 2013, is getting an extended look this season. In trading Lester and John Lackey, the Red Sox sent a message that they believe in their kids, not just Ranaudo and Webster, but Brandon Workman, Henry Owens, Rubby De La Rosa and others. They intend to sign one veteran free agent this winter, but it's these kids who'll decide what the immediate and long-term future of the franchise looks like.
Tampa Bay Rays: It's not just about Drew Smyly replacing David Price in the rotation. It's about how the Rays will react to a clubhouse that suddenly is without a huge, vocal, productive presence. What message did the players get when management dealt away the No. 1 starter at a time when the club finally had sprinted its way back into contention? No manager is better than Joe Maddon at getting his players in the right frame of mind. This one is a challenge even for the best.
Ezequiel Carrera: The Tigers acquired the best player on Thursday. But in getting Price, one of the guys they gave up was Austin Jackson, a solid center fielder. Carrera will get a chance to play, perhaps a significant chance. At times, he has looked like a future star. He hit .272 in his second season with the Indians, but struggled after that. He's hitting .307 at Triple-A Toledo for the Tigers and has earned the chance. It's up to him to fill a hole.
St. Louis Cardinals: One year removed from the World Series, the Cardinals are different both in style and substance. To remove Craig and Joe Kelly from the clubhouse and to acquire two edgier personalities in John Lackey and A.J. Pierzynski may say that GM John Mozeliak wasn't exactly thrilled with some intangible things. Whether that was the intent or not, it's what the Cardinals have at a time when they're headed down the stretch in a tight National League Central race.
Chase Headley /Stephen Drew: They're part of the new-look Yankees, the club GM Brian Cashman has changed incrementally the last six weeks. Both are hoping to jumpstart their careers. Beyond that, they're getting the opportunity at a time when the Yankees are scratching and clawing to keep the Orioles within shouting distance in the American League East. Given that both have been impact players at various points in their careers, it's not the longest of stretches to think they've arrived at a perfect place and time.
Pittsburgh Pirates: Trade Deadline acquisitions impact clubs, both substantively and emotionally. The Pirates tried to make a splash. They worked relentlessly to acquire pitching, and apparently offered some nice packages. In the end, though, they will go [for now] with the current group. That's the group that has gone 17-11 since June 28 and cut their deficit in the NL Central from nine games to 2 1/2. If Gerrit Cole can return from the DL (no sure thing) to take a spot in the rotation, the Pirates will have their impact move for the stretch run.

Consumers who reside in the Philippines are still waiting for Nokia to launch the Lumia 920. We recently covered the manufacturer opening up reservations for stores in the country, but no pricing has been made available or a date of release. We've now learnt that the Windows Phone is available to order at a local mobile phone store. CMK Cellphones has the Lumia 920 listed for 25,750 PhP ($630).
Nokia Revolution managed to contact the store and verify which colours are available. The Lumia 920 is stocked in red, white and yellow. It's reported that consumers are required to place down a 10% deposit for reserving a unit. The price is aggressive which makes this a good deal, but we cannot vouch for the retailer so as with any purchase we urge caution.
Check out the Lumia 920 at CMK Cellphones for more information.
