Israel: Abandoned, Isolated, and Under Assault
Today in the international community Israel stands as probably the most reviled nation in the world. More reviled that Iran, more reviled than Sudan or Somalia, almost as reviled as Hitler's Germany.
Individual companies and national movements alike are boycotting Israel. The United Nations has passed resolution after resolution slamming the state of Israel and accusing it of crimes while ignoring the very terrorists that launch missles from the yards of their children. Countries including the UK, Ireland, and Australia are expelling Israeli diplomats, Poland has arrested an Israeli suspected of illegally obtaining a German passport, and is getting ready to extradite him. The UK, who's justice system allows requesting the authorities to arrest any individual without any proof of crime, has for two years threatened to arrest Israeli official after Israeli official, and Israeli citizens themselves have been the target of terrorist attacks and at the same demonization led by the international press, who have been convinced by the same terrorists that send walking bombs into pizza parlors to kill Israeli children that murdering children is a valid political tool.
International "humanitarian" organizations which are supposed to be concerned about the welfare of humanity, volunteer their services as human shields in the service of violent mercenaries looking to attack and kidnap Israeli soldiers while at the same time with the collusion of the media get the added bonus of deligitimzing Israel's actions to prevent arms smuggling.
Israel's traditional allies, "enlightened" western nations including Germany, France and the UK have not only abandoned Israel wholesale, but are now openly demanding that Israel lift a blockade on Gaza meant to prevent the smuggling of heavy weapons that will be used to kill scores of Israelis. Their excuse, the supposed humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The real reasons? God only knows, fear of Muslim reactions in their streets, intense political pressure from the American administration, or successful brainwashing by Muslim terrorists and rogue nations in which they really believe that Israel has transformed Gaza into a concentration camp and is rounding up Palestinians for extermination as we speak.
Israel has been abandoned by its closest ally the President of the United States, who seems to have made the strategic decision to sacrifice Israel as part of his attempts to engage the Islamic world. Perhaps mixed in with a bit of his belief that Palestinians are being robbed by Israel of their freedom like African Americans were once robbed of their liberty by their slavemasters, a belief which is completely wrong. The American President has shown time and again not only his distaste for Israelis and their Prime Minister, he's shown his preference for trying to woo dictators like Syria's Bashar al' Assad, or Turkey's very own Taaycep Erdogan, even after Syria continued to allow terrorists to prepare attacks against American soldiers in Iraq from Syrian territory and after Turkey voted against the latest UN resolution lead by the US.
Though what might be most concerning is the abandonment by the very few people that are supposed to understand Israel and support them in their time of need, the American and international Jewish community. Sure, there are a few brave souls, those not afraid to openly voice their support for Israel, not afraid to criticize President Barack Obama for reneging on each and every one of his campaign promises regarding Israel, people like international human rights lawyer Alan Dershowitz, former NY Mayor Ed Koch, or my friend Dan from Chicago. But they are few and far between. The rest sit in either apathy or indifference to the events unfolding in the world, the situation of Israel in the Middle East, and the increasing drive towards critical mass.
Israel has been abandoned by almost every single one of its friends and allies. It has been demonized by the 'good' organizations in the world that believe the Palestinian people shouldn't suffer because of Hamas' actions in waging war on Israel, but at the same time seem to think the Israeli people are just as guilty of the "crimes" of the Israeli government taken while protecting Israeli citizens.
Many will say that Israel has brought it upon itself, using the hottest buzzwords adopted by the mainstream media from the Muslim fascists and left-wing anarchists, things like "it's the natural result of their colonialist policies," or "that's what happens when you enslave people and steal their land." Just keep in mind that this is the same argument used by those that say the Arab and Muslim world has waged war against Israel because it's occupying the West Bank and Gaza. Only problem is that Israel didn't occupy Gaza before 1967, and they're not occupying Gaza now.
The real reason for Arab and Muslim hatred towards Israel is strictly that, hatred. Hatred of the fact that the land of Israel is no longer part of greater Islam like it was under the Ottomans. Hatred that Israel is a Jewish state. Hatred that we do our best to provide liberty and justice for all, even during wartime, or that our women are equal, as are our minorities (even though they'd like to claim they're not). And just maybe it's this very same hatred that is driving the rest of the world to openly participate with fascist thugs and dictators in isolating Israel. A hatred carried over for millennia, one that enabled so many of them to sit and watch while Jews were rounded up and murdered not so long ago. Sound like hyperbole, like I'm going over the top. You haven't heard the half of it.
Today, with their expulsion of an Israeli representative from the nation of Ireland, the Irish Foreign Minister Micheal Martin said "the official concerned is a victim of the actions of the state they represent." We'll, I'm not sure exactly which actions he's referring to, but I can guarantee you that they were taken to protect Israeli lives. And realize that when he says "a victim of the actions of the state they represent" the actions he is referring to are no less and no more serious than almost every other nation in the world takes, regularly, to protect their own citizens. But in Israel's case, the Israeli government is transformed into a criminal for doing so.
But I'm not her to voice grievances, nor indignation. No, I'm way past that. That's something I've been doing for two years in my blog while the world actively participated in the deligitimization of the State of Israel's right to self defense, and at the same time legitimized, through its publishing and republishing its words, Iran's call for the destruction of Israel through its pronouncements in the media that the "evil entity called Israel" is coming to an end.
I'm here to give one last wake up call. Israel's got its back against the wall. The President of the United States Barack Obama is waging a war against Israel on almost all fronts. Its even been speculated that if Israel decides to try and attack Iranian nuclear facilities, the President may order American troops to stop the attack, even if it involves downing Israeli fighter jets. Would the President attack Israeli jets to protect the Iranians? Don't think it can't happen.
Today, Israeli representatives are being threatened with arrest in the UK, and being expelled from Ireland and Australia, the media has vilified not only the State of Israel, but has half convinced itself and the world that Israel is a state of right-wing, war mongering fanatics, while at the same time convincing itself that human rights and peace activists really do stab and beat soldiers of a sovereign nation taking legal action to protect their state, and try to kidpnap them for ransom to boot.
The world is making a concerted effort at forcing Israel to allow the flow of ten ton bombs into Gaza that can wipe out entire neighborhoods, and Israel's arch enemy, the Islamic Republic of Iran that has openly stated time and again its desire to destroy Israel, is not only actively developing the weapons to do so, but as we speak is sending ships most likely packed with hundreds of mercenary soldiers to Gaza, about to spark the biggest war the Middle East has ever seen.
And all you can do is barely make an effort to read these words. Yes you, who have been instilled with the words "Never Again," you who voted for Change and got a hell of a lot more than you asked for. You, who knows right from wrong but can't quite make out whether those on the Turkish humanitarian mission attacked Israeli soldiers, or whether Israeli soldiers actually just landed on one of six boats and decided to shoot it up for the fun of it.
You, those who once upon a time understood that a terrorist was someone that killed civilians, but now can't decide if its Hamas that are terrorists, the ones' that have enslaved their own people and transformed them into human shields, or the sovereign State of Israel, the ones that that are doing whatever they can to prevent the next 12 thousand missles from falling on its citizens heads, the same missles the peace activists are fighting so violently to ship to Gaza.
And you, American Jews who can't find the desire or the strength to make your voices heard loud and clear at what is very likely the most critical and defining moment in the history of the modern State of Israel. One in which Iran and its partners have already succeeded in stockpiling tens of thousands of missles on Israel's borders, sent thousands if not tens of thousands of trained soldiers to its borders, and is waiting for the signal to open its offensive in its next and greatest attempt at achieving its goal, the destruction of Israel and ethnic cleansing of its citizens.
Just remember, if you don't speak now, you will shoulder the burden for the death and destruction that is about to rein in this land. Your silence is interpreted as tacit agreement.
So maybe I am here to express indignation, and grievance. But can you blame me? I had more faith in you, more belief in your ability to judge right from wrong, more certainty that your sense of justice would prevail, more conviction that when the time came, again, you'd stand up to the dictator and mass murderer and say never again. That you'd demand from your leaders to stand up for what's right, and not bow down and let war and darkens enveloped us once again. But today you sit in silence, and in apathy, today is the day Israel loses hope in those that claim to support them. Today I despair, today I lose faith.
This will be my last blog post in any way, shape or form making any type of plea or request. That's it, in Israel we're fed up. Apparently there's no one in the world interested in guaranteeing our right to a free and peaceful life, so we'll just have to do it ourselves. And g-d have mercy on those that attack us.
It's funny, I often hear about the end of days, the coming of the messiah, gog v'magog, the apocalypse. How the entire world turns against Israel, even its best friends, but I never took it seriously. However, today it's hard not to make a connection, to see how some prophecies in the world seem to be self fulfilling. And it's hard not to think that we just might really be at that point. Perhaps, not the end of the world, but at a point of death and destruction the likes the world has never seen, even if it's primarily in the Middle East. Though just remember the words of Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, it always starts with the Jews, meaning it will arrive to your door sooner or later. Some people may laugh, I warn you to take it seriously.
If it was strictly about being abandoned by our friends and our allies, I might still take heart. But what's more ominous and more despairing is the silence of those that have professed not only their friendship, but brotherhood, those that share an emotional bond with this land, and its people. For when they sit silent, there's no one left to speak up.
Think its not as bad as all that, think again.

Good piece. I gave up on the fools you appeal to long ago. They long ago ceased giving a damn. They will die in the hells they made for themselves, riding their SUV's and mistaking the handsome devils guarding the gate of that hell for St. Peter. But at least you understand the key points.

No doubt there is some support for Israel, but it is by far the minority. The EU is about to vote on an agenda that will slam Israel's actions against the Mavi Marmara and call Israel to immediately lift the blockade. I have a hard time translating the sympathizing with Hamas and Iran transferring weapons by lifting a legal naval blockade as support. And when it comes from the European Union itself, not one EU state but all of them, its quite telling.ReplyDelete

Also: Support for Israel is strong in US Congress/Senate, and fairly strong with US public, especially among Evangelical Christians.

Do you think it's ALL THEIR FAULT?

"In the movie, there is a scene where I told Bong Minjung 'It was so hard for me in the past. I don't want to live that life again. I am doing just fine now.' It's not a scene with extreme emotion and I didn't have to cry but I found myself shedding tears. That cut was used in the movie but it actually wasn't in the original script. There were many before-debut stories that I couldn't tell. Maybe my tears fell because of those thoughts." -Jaejoong

It's true that you'll be hard-pressed to find a Chinese hospital with a 4th floor. Or a Japanese hospital either, for the same reason.
But you don't have to go that far. The Mt. Sinai Hospital in NYC has no 4th floor either. At least not one open to the public; the 4th floor is a crawl space that houses the building's mechanical services. A surgeon there assured me that the number 4 has no special significance in Hebrew. But the architect was I.M. Pei, which probably explains it.
i, or the square root of -1, is a mystical number because it makes Quantum Mechanics possible. Without i, there would be no way to create equations that would accurately predict the behavior of electrons and other particles. And of course, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle would be philosophy rather than physics.
I've stayed in the same hotel in Belfast a couple of times. The first time I stayed there I was in room 514. The second time I was in room 512 (2^9). I tried to explain to the receptionist why I remembered what room I'd stayed in last time, and why I preferred this room, but I think they just thought I was mad.
Does a birthday of 07/13 make you unlucky? My luck all my life has been terrible.
When I was growing up we thought 13 was unlucky because it was thought to be the number of steps on a gallows and the number of loops in a hangman's knot. In the home where I grew up my room was on the second floor and there were 13 steps from the first to the second floor. So it makes sense that, to hang a person by the neck the gallows would need to be about as high as the second floor of a house (8 feet above the lower level). My brother and I always tried to scare each other with the thought that we had to traverse 13 steps to go to bed each night….
As for the 13 loops in a hangman's knot – any thoughts anyone?
Liked your article October 28, 2009 titled Number-Crushing: When Figures Get Personal. There was a Teaching Company course about "The Old Testament" which I heard a while back (but don't remember exactly) which suggested that the numbers…
1 — reference to God, unity, good number
2 — reference to marriage; two people, union, good
3 — trinity (Father, Son, Holy Ghost eg), good number, holy
4 — land, directions, four "corners of the earth" such as north, south, east, west
5 — (forget exactly what lecturer said, sorry, but something about fingers of the hand, like 5 is associated with work, perhaps?)
6 — evil, since it's 3, but doubled; forget the logic
7 — lucky; forget reason
12 — lucky, good; dozen
13 — unlucky
666 — most evil number (three sixes), mark of the devil
The Teaching Company lecturer explained that numbers in the Old Testament were often based on ancient superstitions. So the number of loaves Jesus divvied out wasn't accidental but chosen because of the earlier numerological associations, and that pretty much any number in the Old Testament usually has some kind of meaning. Like, the numbers of particular parts of the Bible have meaning; like if it's Daniel section 6, things are going downhill, (example; again, I'm not a biblical scholar), or if its Kings 3, things are going good.

The number 13 is considered lucky in the Jewish religion because the passage of boys to men, and girls to women is carried out on the 13th birthday.
It's very curious that if you list all the mathematical, physics and chemistry constants in a column, then "1″ is the leading digit more than 10% of the time.
The Wall Street Journal examines numbers in the news, business and politics. Some numbers are flat-out wrong or biased, while others are valid and help us make informed decisions. We tell the stories behind the stats in occasional updates on this blog.

New sand for the sandbox is a sure sign of spring at our house. The girls were more than happy to plant their feet in the sand and spend an hour building sandcastles, and shooing our Italian Greyhound out of the box.
Maggie had to chase a chicken or two out of her playhouse, too.
Today was a day for bubble blowing, sand pie making, soccer kicking, baseball hitting, flower picking, and sandcastle building.
I've decided that the girls big xmas gift from us this year will be a reading tent or teepee. I have seen several of them on blogs I follow, and here are a few of my favorites.
I have found teepees available for sale on the web, but the best of them are available on Etsy. Here is one I like.
Available here.
These are nice, too.
Available here.
I plan to fill the tent with new books and pillows like this one.
Available here.
What a magical thing for my girls to find on Christmas morning. I'm excited to start putting this fun gift together.
Just in case you don't read ohdeardrea like I do, I had to share this super adorbs play tent that she constructed for her daughter. Read how to make one of your very own here. I hope to do this project sometime soon for my girls. I love how it defines a play space, and keeps the toys in one spot, out of sight. Awesome.

Amelia's been making us laugh with little finger play songs she's learned in school. This is one of her favorites.
Three little pumpkins sitting on a gate
The first one said, "Oh my it's getting late."
The second one said, "There are witches in the air."
The third one said, "But we don't care."
Oooohhh went the wind and out went the lights
and the three little pumpkins rolled out of sight.

I liked the fact that the hotel is located on a main route leading to local attractions, restaurants, and stores. The free breakfast offered a variety of choices each day. I was able to use the computers in the business center and to park without fees.
The toilets were way too low. We thought that the hotel was located on the beach; however, beach access was only through a public access path down the street. If you desired to sit on the beach, you had to supply your own chairs.If there was a way to enjoy the beach, hotel employees did not give us that information. The information packet that was given out upon check-in did supply information about some of the available activities, places to eat, and a discount for a tour. The area around the hotel seemed to be safe. It was well lighted and clean. The pool was constructed in a family friendly manner for guests who had small children. I suspect, however, that the pool area deeper than 3 1...

Location was wonderful! We hardly left the area all 4 days. Loved the size of our 2 bedroom condo and the view out of our balcony. Pools were wonderful!
The carpet was just filthy and sticky, really ruined the feeling of wanting to be comfortable. I mopped the tile floor everywhere, it was sticky filthy too. The dish washer had a leak and clothes drier was SO LOUD. All cupboards were peeling off.If the condo had some carpet washing, simple maintenance to drier and dish washer, if the cupboard facing wasn't coming off, this would have been a dream stay!!
Excellent 9.0
Very clean place to stay! The room was very well set up and had a very modern feel to it. Would definitely suggest this place to any people! The staff is very friendly and prompt in any questions you may possibly have.
The only negative thing I could think to say about this place might just be the wifi is slow lol.

The rooms were nice, the a/c worked great, overall the room was comfortable, and the staff was helpful. For the price the room was a good deal.
Traffic getting in and out of the parking lot was horrible. Even with the hotel busy there was not a lot of noise - the room was quiet.

Great staff. Nice facilities.
Breakfast sucked. Oatmeal two or three days in a row. And when they had eggs and sausage the staff could not keep up with demand. Ate waffles almost everyday. I would pay more to have a better selection for breakfast. Scrambled eggs and sausage are a daily must. You have a hot water machine for hot chocolate. Customers can you the same hot water for instant oatmeal packets with more variety of flavors. I felt since no one ate oatmeal one day then they set the same bucket of oatmeal out the next day.

The bed had several pillows
On my drive home I noticed my head itching (note I didn't go out to any other locations for 2 weeks) stayed for one night and when I got home I checked my head to find one adult louse and almost 50 eggs pretty sure the lice are from the hotel as I didn't go anywhere else possible to catch them and I noticed the sensation of itch after sleeping in the bed... That being said the carpet was soaked by the entrance of the room from the ac. The ac took over 10 minutes to work the first time and repeatedly shut off and stopped working over 5 times durning the night making the stay extremely uncomfortable. Also found a box a tissues and tissues full of pervious people bodily fluids that was not pleasant. Would not be returning to this hotel. Tried the morning breakfast and found a hair in the raisin brand that I served to my self and husband so that also ruined my appetite

Wednesday Night
The gang wanted to club at St James. Everyone was to meet at Vivo City, 9pm sharp. As usual, everyone was late. Heyr came to my place & we cabbed over to Vivo City. We still could afford a Starbucks session while waiting for the rest to show up. Over at St James, our entry was rejected. Haizzz. So we cabbed over to Clarke Quay. Luckily there's no entry difficulties over at Rebel. No offence, I can't seems to like the music over at Rebel. So I spent most of the time at Zirca. Awesome set by Marcus Chan. Imma loving his groove. Seriously, this guy can really mix well.
Pay day. Loving it.
Met Wendy & Nuh @ Klapsons. Wtf. They didn't clock two days of my total working hours. Idiot. Stupid Eddie. Nuh received like $200 in bills of $2. Hahaha. Seriously hilarious watching him carry that much $2 bills. After which headed back to school for phase test. I must say the test was rather easy. Me & Nuh accompanied Irman to Peninsula, as he wanted to find overalls for Halloween. Did find some shops that sell, but there wasn't any in his size. Next, headed over to Marina Square to get my Crocs. Woohoo. The three of us had dinner at Pizza Hut. After which we parted ways.
Haha. School reopens on Monday, 12th October. Sadly, this week I did not attend class at all. I was at home sleeping. Heard from my classmates that is a new module & a new teacher. Well I guess I'll go to school next week.
Holidays are almost over. Monday will be the start of a new semester.
Soon I'll have to drag my ass to school; from Pasir Ris to Dover.
The dilemma of 8-5 will start to haunt. Gone are the days of eat & sleep.
Woohoo. Raya with ITE Macpherson peeps.
Joined them @ Bob's place. Lorry for transportation. Awesome shit. After dat when to Dharma's. Next was Sofia's @ UBI. What a long journey from Yishun. =) At Shikin's, Akmal accidentally broke a glass container. Hahaha. Idiot. At Nabel's, Yoga was so frightened of Nabel's cats. You should see his facial expression. Then it was Akmal's. After that was my crib. Cabbed over to Liah's place as it was already 1 in the morning. Everyone was so shagged when at Liah's. Hahaha. Wave goodbyes ard 2.45am & cabbed home.
Will be working @ KLAPSONS; The Boutique Hotel on 6,7,8,9 of October.
The devil eats prata is an event to commemorate FLY Entertainment 10th anniversary.
9th October also marks the official opening of KLAPSONS.
Had an easy job for this event. All me & Nuh did was to adjust the lighting for the Concerto Hall.
Can't wait for the next event @ KLAPSONS.
I'm sorry, your entry has been rejected.
Met the guys at Clarke Quay. Suprised that Illyas tagged along. Our entry to Zirca was rejected for apparently no reason.
What the hell. So all of us was outside Zirca & wondering which club to attack. Some suggest Attica. While Illyas' friend suggested DBL O.
Me & Aziezan went like " Errr… Dbl O? Nvm…"
Out of a sudden, I remembered that Ait was going Zouk tonight. Without any hesitation, We cabbed over to Zouk.
Luckily there was no entry problems over at Zouk. Had one hell of a good time with Aldrin on the decks. After all the partying, headed over to Clarke Quay & waited for the first bus.
Orites peeps. Its been decided. Zirca for tonight.
Guess Niklas Harding won over Aldrin.
Niklas Harding or Aldrin?
Zirca or Zouk?
Both on the same night. 3rd October 2009 to be exact.
ITE COLLEGE WEST Staff teambuilding
Woke up early today to help with the staff teambuilding at East Coast Park.

The teachers came ard 9.30am. Had a lot of fun watching the teachers make a fool of themselves. Had to leave early cause I was working.
Enjoy the pictures.

Everton secured the most memorable of FA Cup victories with a dramatic penalty shootout win over Chelsea.
The Toffees triumphed 4-3 on spot-kicks after an unbelievable end to the game which saw Leighton Baines equalise with a sublime free kick with only two minutes of extra-time left.
It had been 0-0 after 90 minutes but Frank Lampard struck in the first period of added time and Chelsea looked likely to progress.
But Baines levelled it and then missed a penalty before the shootout swung in Everton's direction following Tim Howard's save from Nicolas Anelka and Ashley Cole's wayward effort.
Phil Neville then sent his side through with a text-book penalty.
The game had started slowly and neither keeper was unduly worried until the 20th minute when Phil Jagielka's back header came back off the post and John Terry stabbed the rebound over.
Everton responded via a fabulous cross by Baines which Jermaine Beckford couldn't quite divert goalwards and a left foot curler from Seamus Coleman which was deflected wide by Terry
But danger followed from the counter and Howard saved excellently from Florent Malouda with Didier Drogba sending the follow up wide.
Just after the half hour Howard was out smartly to deny Malouda a second time, and the American stopper was in the thick of the action again just before the break when he rushed out to meet the galloping Ramires who went down and was subsequently booked for simulation by ref Phil Dowd.
Chelsea started the second half well and in the 56th minute Terry headed just wide from Drogba's free kick.
Then Leon Osman nodded a Baines centre straight at Petr Cech and Beckford shot awkwardly over after Coleman's foray down the right.
Howard's excellent display continued and in the 64th minute he produced another fabulous save to deny Lampard.
With 15 minutes left a typical Baines raid down the left saw him find Coleman but the Irishman couldn't get enough power on his back post header.
By this point Diniyar Bilyaletdinov had replaced Cahill and soon Moyes replaced Beckford with Victor Anichebe at the focal point of Everton's attack.
But with just eight minutes left Lampard fluffed a chance to put his side ahead when his attempted lob over Howard cleared the bar.
There was yet more drama before the 90 minutes were up when Fellaini's goal was dubiously chalked off for offside after he'd stabbed home the rebound from Baines' shot.
Extra time ensued and Moyes stiffened the midfield with the introduction of John Heitinga.
Drogba curled a teasing effort over the bar in the first decent effort of the added period and then Lampard sent an angled drive just wide.
But the warning shots had been fired and in the 104th minute substitute Anelka wriggled free down the right and centred, with Lampard eventually lashing the ball home from eight yards out.
Everton ended the game with Fellaini and Jagielka as extra centre forwards but couldn't force a significant chance to equalise until Baines' late moment of magnificence.
His left-foot effort was measured to perfection and it beat Cech all ends up as it flew into the net.
There was barely time for the restart as penalties followed, but Baines missed Everton's first - allowing Lampard and Drogba to seize the initiative for the home side.
Jagielka slotted home to get the Toffees on the board then Howard brilliantly denied Anelka and Arteta, Essien and Heitinga were all successful.
But Cole blazed over leaving Neville to send an exemplary effort into the net and cue bedlam in the Everton end.
Reading await in the next round on March 1.

I've got to say, though it's not really mentioned, that tailoring works very well just as a simple extension of your character's class and their own search for power. A warlock devoting their time to craft their own set of armor, sewn from felcloth or imbued with shadow, makes just as much the same way that one might craft their own powerful magic artifacts or forge their own weaponry. Not really a huge need to go deeper than that unless you want to.
That said, really wish they'd make crafting armor sets worthwhile at endgame, makes tailoring feel so useless when you never wear the stuff you craft.

El Paso, Texas (KDBC) — Thousands of students in the Socorro Independent School District headed back to class Monday.
At Dr. Sue Shook Elementary, kids were eager to get to work.
The district opened two new schools, James Butler Elem. and Manuel Puentes Middle School, and welcomed more than 44,000 students this year.
The new campuses, though, were already at capacity and could not enroll students living in their zones.
Those students had to enroll at other nearby schools, but there is still hope for kids who want to go to their zoned school, accordung to S.I.S.D Superintendent Jose Espinoza.
"As soon as there's room at the school that they're zoned to, we will call them up and say, 'There's room here, you want to come back to your zone school?', and we welcome them back with open arms," said Espinoza.
Socorro I.S.D. schools are expecting another wave of enrollments when the other area school districts open in September.

The "housing bubble" and financial factors: Insights from a structural model of the French and Spanish residential markets
AbstractOver the last decade, France and Spain have experienced property price and residential investment increases which were among the strongest and the lengthiest in the euro area. Although the quality of the underlying data limits the precision of the estimates, the present paper aims at analysing the fundamental factors behind these evolutions. The analysis presented here assesses whether the observed price dynamics may be attributed to a pure expectation bubble phenomenon or to the large changes in financial and demographic factors. This is done by means of a structural model of the demand and supply sides of the housing market with an error-correction process. When taking into account a standard set of macroeconomic variables, our estimates imply that residential property prices in France and Spain were approximately 20% above the level explained by their fundamentals. When demographic and financial factors such as the borrowing capacity are taken on board, the degree of overvaluation is drastically reduced. The adjustment path to equilibrium is slightly faster in France than in Spain, but both countries display significant downward rigidity in prices.

Structurally speaking, the Museum of Childhood is a superb example of a mid-Victorian iron and glass building.

What do you do when your house is slowly being swallowed by the sea???
This is the question that Wetlands International was asked to advise on by the community of Timbul Sloko Village, on the North coast of Central Java, Indonesia.
How to get the attention from the government, private sector, communities and press at the same time for water availability problems downstream the river? In Kenya local indigenous peoples organizations managed to come up with an eye-catching initiative. They organized a Camel Caravan.
The Niger and Nile basins are areas with high water stress and increasing competition for water resources. For that reason these regions are in focus under a large EU-funded project called IMPACT2C which seeks to systematically quantify climate impacts, vulnerabilities, risks and economic costs as well as potential adaptive responses under a global average surface temperature change of 2°C. Wetlands International is one of the partners in this effort and has its focus in the Niger basin.

Home > Buildings & Plants > Buildings & Plants Partner List > School District of Onalaska, Wisconsin
The School District of Onalaska's mission is to ensure that all students acquire the skills, abilities and attitudes needed to be respectful, responsible and productive citizens in a global society. The district educates almost 3,000 students in five buildings with a total floor space of more than 600,000 square feet. The district views energy efficiency as a means to save money and exercise good stewardship of the earth's resources. Participation in the ENERGY STAR program has provided the district with an excellent program to effectively monitor our progress utilizing up-to-date methods that may be employed on an ongoing basis.
The School District of Onalaska has been recognized by EPA as an ENERGY STAR Top Performer for achieving an average energy performance rating of 91 across its entire portfolio of schools. The school district has reduced annual greenhouse gas emissions by more than 1,600 metric tons, the equivalent of the annual emissions of more than 300 cars or planting more than 350 acres of trees. Since 2005, the district has avoided energy costs in excess of $600,000, and has channeled these monies back into instructional programs in a time of scarce funding. Some of the methods employed to achieve this increase in energy efficiency involve changing behaviors such as turning off lights when rooms are not occupied and turning off all equipment each night. In addition, The School District of Onalaska shuts off buildings completely over weekends and holidays, and closely monitors heating and air conditioning schedules. The consistent attention to energy efficient practices by the entire staff is the reason for the success of this program.
