Popular concerns about immigration, and the problems of integrating immigrants, are a common thread in all the most difficult challenges currently facing the European Union. Although immigration and integration are rarely make-or-break issues, they are having significant impacts on the debates over the proposed EU constitutional treaty, the Union's recent and future enlargement, its demographic problems and the war on terror.
In the French referendum on the EU's constitutional treaty, for example, many No voters were apparently motivated by fears that the constitution and EU enlargement threatened to allow in significant numbers of new immigrants who would steal French jobs and undermine the country's welfare system. Most Europeans are loath to accept the argument that many more immigrants may be needed to support the continent's aging population. What is more, many among the population at large fear that increased immigration could provide an entry route for terrorists. Many of these fears are exaggerated, misplaced, or based on misconceptions. But the rise of these issues on the political agenda means that politicians can no longer afford to ignore them. In the UK, for instance, a Mori opinion poll in May 2005 the month in which Tony Blair's Labour Party won its third general election but lost large numbers of Parliamentary seats showed that voters thought immigration/integration/race relations was the third most important national issue after crime/vandalism and the National Health Service. By July 2005, just two months later, immigration had risen to second place, behind defense/foreign affairs/international terrorism.
Discontent with both the lack of integration of existing immigrants, and with inadequate controls on new immigrant admissions, have arisen largely because politicians long ignored both citizens' anxieties and the intricacies of the policy issues involved. Rightly or wrongly, popular concerns across Europe, about integration in particular, are likely to increase following the July 2005 terrorist bombings in London, the 2 November 2004 murder of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh by an Islamic extremist, and the 11 March 2004 bombings in Madrid.
It would be wrong, however, to make generalizations about the whole of Europe. In many countries, the levels of public concern and the facts of immigration differ. So do the responses by governments, their degrees of success in dealing with the problem and the electoral consequences.
In some countries, right-wing, anti-immigration parties that have emerged in response to the public's anxieties have achieved considerable success. Jean-Marie Le Pen, the leader of France's National Front, did well in Presidential and local elections in the 1990s and then shocked much of the country by reaching the run-off round in the Presidential elections of 2002, beating the Socialist leader Lionel Jospin, before finally losing to President Jacques Chirac.
In the Danish elections of February 2005, the nationalistic People's Party, led by Pia Kjaersgaard, won 24 seats in the 179-seat Parliament, confirming its position as the country's third largest party. Although not part of the ruling coalition, the People's Party generally supports the government, in exchange for the adoption of some of the policies the party favors, such as tighter controls on immigration.
Other populist, anti-immigrant parties have acquired political influence despite electoral ups and downs including the quasi-separatist Northern League, led by Umberto Bossi in Italy, the Vlaams Blok (now Vlaams Belang or Flemish Interest), led by Philip Dewinter in Belgium and the right wing Freedom Party, until recently led by Jörg Haider in Austria.
The UK and the Netherlands have followed somewhat different patterns. In the UK, the British National Party has not fared at all well nationally although it has scored some minor victories in local government elections in areas such as Oldham in the North of England, where there have been severe racial tensions. Instead, the mainstream parties have competed in showing toughness on immigration to win public favor.
The opposition Conservative Party raised the migration problem in the 2005 election, even though it had failed to gain traction on the issue in the previous 2001 general election. Mr. Blair responded with an agenda for tightening border controls and combating illegal immigration, and a major speech on the complexity of decisions to permit greater legal immigration and deal with refugee issues through asylum and resettlement in the UK. Analysts differ on which party won the immigration argument.
In the Netherlands, an anti-immigration position has been adopted by some of the mainstream parties and by new parties that are not particularly far to the right in other policy areas. Pim Fortuyn, a novice Dutch politician though long-time popular commentator, who was outspokenly anti-immigration, and was assassinated by an animal rights activist days before elections in May 2002, could not correctly be classified as an extreme right-wing politician.
In response to Mr. Fortuyn's immense popularity among voters, the mainstream Christian Democratic and Liberal parties, which have led a governing coalition since 2003, have adopted significant elements of his proposed agenda. A new party led by former Liberal Party member Geert Wilders, who also strongly opposes Turkish EU entry, as well as Mr. Fortuyn's own party, the Lijst Pim Fortuyn, have tried to hold on to his plain-speaking, vote-winning anti-immigration credentials, but the popularity of both has been waning according to opinion polls.
The way in which concerns about integration and policies regarding immigration generally have been taken on by the mainstream in these two countries says a lot about the concerns themselves and the new importance attached to them.
Mr. Fortuyn argued that there should be no new immigration until those already legally in the country had been fully integrated. Immigrants are broadly viewed as having failed to integrate when they have little or no command of the language of the country in which they live; when they remain unemployed and live off welfare benefits; and when they maintain their own cultural and social traditions and reject those of the society around them.
Additional popular concerns, common in left wing circles, are that immigrants will take away jobs, particularly in the unskilled and low-skill sectors, and become a drain on welfare funds and social services. Anti-immigration sentiment is by no means a monopoly of the political right.
Dutch politicians inspired by Mr. Fortuyn's popularity have been trying to introduce linguistic and cultural tests for immigrants, and to require immigrants seeking to enter the Netherlands to marry residents to learn some Dutch and show openness to Dutch culture before getting a visa. These measures have run into opposition from vocal human rights groups, and legal barriers, and few of them have become law.
The basis of Mr. Fortuyn's popular approach was the idea that the Netherlands is "full." The Netherlands is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, and second only to Malta in the European Union. At the end of 2004, just over 19 percent of the total population of 16.3 million was of non-Dutch origin. Roughly half this figure was accounted for by first generation immigrants, the other half by second or third generation immigrants, frequently born as Dutch citizens. The total non-Dutch origin population is also roughly equally split between people of Western and non-Western origin. The largest immigrant group is Turkish.
Since immigration became a major issue in the Netherlands, and the debate on new restrictions gained global attention, the actual number of immigrants, including asylum-seekers, has dropped significantly. Both Dutch nationals and previous immigrants have started to leave the country. Population growth in the Netherlands has slowed dramatically net immigration maintained its growth for several years, but since 2004 there has been net emigration. The country's fertility rate fell well below the population replacement rate in the 1980s, although it has since slightly revived. It remains to be seen whether the recent trend of net emigration and slowing population growth will continue.
In the UK, the fertility rate is also below the replacement level so population growth relies on net immigration. Nevertheless, the Mori poll of May 2005 showed that 58 percent of the population wanted to see tougher immigration controls. At the same time, 68 percent either strongly agreed or tended to agree that immigrants make Britain more open to new ideas and cultures. Thirty-three percent strongly agreed or tended to agree that immigrants contributed to a rising crime rate and 39 percent saw immigration as bad for the economy.
These numbers hint at the confusion that reigns in the UK and in many other European countries regarding immigration. Another poll, in April 2005 for the Evening Standard showed that 65 percent of British respondents thought the government was not honest about the scale of immigration. This followed Conservative Party complaints that the public had not been consulted about the Labour government's policy of increasing immigration in certain sectors to satisfy labor demands.
There had, indeed, been no serious public debate on the subject, in contrast to Germany where there was significant discussion of changes in the immigration law to allow the admission of highly skilled workers in 2004. The British government had not hidden the information entirely. It is just that the British public tends not to look at the Home Office website, and the media had not seen it as a story until the Conservatives made it an election issue.
Among the problems clouding discussions of immigration policy throughout Europe today are the lack of open, honest debate and poor public access to information. The need either to accept immigration or to make other major policy changes tends to polarize the discussion, but also to confuse it. Since the UN Population Division reported in 2000 that Europe would need some 150 million immigrants by 2025 to sustain economic growth and prosperity, there has been widespread recognition of three key, but potentially contradictory, "facts."
The first of these is that immigration on such a huge scale is not going to happen, because Europe's citizens would not accept it. The second is that even if immigration levels were increased, it would be too little too late at this stage. The third is that alternative measures will be necessary, including longer working hours, later retirement and reforms in national pension systems. The third option is as unpalatable as high levels of immigration for most Europeansbut at some point something will have to give.
The European dilemma contrasts sharply with the situation in the United States. America also needs immigration for demographic reasons, but is broadly prepared to accept it. While there is some resistance to immigration in the United States, it does not seem to be as strong or widespread as in Europe. In the United States, the notion of being "a country of immigrants" is deep-seated, whereas on the other side of the Atlantic there is a lasting notion of the cultural homogeneity of nations, developed over the centuries by the people who have lived in them.
Although there have been centuries of European migratory movements, as a result of wars, for example, or for economic reasons, until recently migrants have usually blended in with the culture and traditions of their new home countries. The new wave of immigrants, from North Africa, Africa, Turkey and the Middle East, are much more easily identifiable than their predecessors, many of whom came from elsewhere in Europe.
Another important difference between the United States and Europe that is particularly relevant in the context of the war on terror is the degree of secularism in the two societies. Active participation in organized religion is strong in the United States, and there is acceptance of the expression of faith, including the expectation that the roughly one percent of Americans who are Muslims will practice their religion in various ways.
Europe has generally become increasingly secular in recent decades, although it has remained culturally attached to its Christian roots. While participation in organized religious services is slowly rising again in many European countries, it remains low. About 4.5 percent of the EU population is Muslim, with France having the largest Muslim minority at 5 million (8.5 percent of the population). The active practice of religion is higher in this group than among Europeans more broadly.
For some Europeans, the simple fact of practicing a religion at all puts a person outside the mainstream. As Islam is increasingly tainted by the acts of groups claiming to be or portrayed as Muslim fundamentalists, even regular religious worship and the following of dress codes related to the Islamic faith may appear more dangerous. Thus the wearing of headscarves by Muslim schoolgirls, for example, has come to be seen as one of the key indicators of integration policies gone wrong, and has been the subject of severe political tensions in France.
This would seem to indicate that, even if for some Europeans new immigration is a major concern, the biggest problems are actually the integration of immigrants and their descendants, and the roles of race and religion in European societies. The Dutch were shocked when Mohammed Bouyeri, the man who killed Theo van Gogh, was found to have been born and brought up in the Netherlands, with dual Dutch and Moroccan nationality. Dutch statistics and popular discourse use a technical term for "non-native" to refer to Mr. Bouyeri, along with all other descendants of post-1950s immigrants. But what was originally a purely descriptive classification has become a term of abuse, from which only descendants of white, western immigrants are likely to escape.
It is clear that in the Netherlands multiculturalism, with its emphasis on the tolerance of difference to fashion a harmonious new cultural mosaic, has failed. What is not clear, however, five years after the debate over multiculturalism started, is whether the attempts now being undertaken to assimilate the immigrants of the last four decades are working. These efforts include insisting that immigrants speak better Dutch, find work or otherwise blend into society, and encouraging the native Dutch population to be more receptive to them.
In the UK, meanwhile, it is still not clear how policies and attitudes toward immigrants will change in the aftermath of the terrorist bombings in London. There have been incidents of revenge attacks on Muslims, particularly Pakistanis and people mistakenly believed to belong to these groups (including Sikhs) just as there were in the Netherlands following Mr. van Gogh's murder.
The model of integration in the UK, however, has been different from that in the Netherlands. The British approach has been based on improving race relations, permitting diversity and encouraging more self-reliance among the immigrants, rather than attempting to hold their hands, as the Dutch have done in the past. The British have hitherto believed that they have been more successful than some other countries in creating an integrated societya perception that will surely now be challenged.
In order to deal with citizens'concerns about immigration and integration, politicians need to pay much greater attention to determining the type of society and culture their countries actually want and to deciphering the sorts of humanitarian admissions their citizens want to permit, even if they are in principle opposed to new immigration. Political leaders will have to think much more seriously about how to go about integrating immigrants. But some of the most important questions of all and the ones most difficult for European politicians have to be about the fundamental structure of their welfare states.
Only the tip of the iceberg has been sighted so far. Populations have found a voice on immigration and integration, but not a clear or unanimous voice, and many of the opinions expressed are inconsistent with the real facts about the numbers of immigrants, their employment and their success in learning languages.
If European governments are to craft more successful immigration policies, they will have to be more open with information about levels of immigration and the reasons for legal immigration programs, and work to gain the public's trust. The UK government's immigration program, targeted at specific economic sectors, is perhaps the most sensible policy approach to immigration in Europe today, but the absence of public consultation and information very nearly undermined it.
It will be hard for Europeans to work out better methods of integration. If integration is working anywhere worldwide, it seems to be working best in the United States and Canada. The U.S. model essentially of having no federal integration policy other than for resettled refugees is not workable in European welfare states.
The idea that legal, or even in some cases illegal, residents of a country would be excluded from the full range of nationally available welfare benefits, including schooling, healthcare and income support, is politically untenable in Europe. Canada might offer a better model, as its welfare structure is more like that of Europe, if less extensive. Like the United States, however, and unlike Europe, Canada also has a culture historically based on immigration and the encouragement and acceptance of citizenship through naturalization.
Europe is only just awakening to the extent of the problems it faces on new immigration and, in particular, on immigrant integration. For the short-term, the most that can be expected of Europe's leaders is to clarify the problems experienced by their societies to which policy answers are needed. Those answers are only likely to emerge over the medium to long-term. The immigration and integration issue is no longer dormant, and can no longer be ignored. The question is: Can Europe do what is necessary, culturally, politically and economically, to create an opportunity out of this challenge?
If political leaders fail in this task, they will find it increasingly hard to convince public opinion that the European Union should be further enlarged, allowing free movement to ever more EU citizens, that large numbers of immigrants may be needed to swell the European workforce and that governments have a firm grip on the fight against terror or even that the European Union itself can be trusted to deal with all these challenges.

The order of Arnicare Pain Relief by Boiron is a life saver. As a person who uses this product as their main Pain Relief with joint pains,back problems and even period related pains, Boiron Arnicare can be used in direct contact with the problem area, plus has the benifit of not having any contraindications with other drugs you may have to take. My mother also uses this product and she suffers from Rheumatoid Arthritis this product relieves many of her aches and pains. I found this product when visiting California 5 years ago and have since bought this product on each journey to the USA. Unfortunatly I have not been able to find it in the UK.

I smashed my knee with a hammer, and applied this Arnica gel twice a day for a week. After the initial pain wore off I expereinced no pain, no bruise, and it healed completely in a week. We use it for sore muscles and a variety of other muscle and pain related issues. It's a necessity in our house! The best!

Long long ago,
so long ago,
nobody remembers how long ago...
Satan Infernous conceived the idea of doing an MBA, to discover that it has be done in a premium B-school only.
However there was a problem: Satan has left main-stream studies for work.
There was a realization as well: The odds of getting into a premium B-school increase if you're an Engineer
And thus started the journey of:
Studies - Work - Work+Studies - Studies - Work - Studies!
Confused: The schematic would help understand better. "Ah, a picture speaks a thousand words. So does a schematic"
Fast-forward 15 years and Mr. Infernous has made it, along with many others. The journey to this B-School was tough indeed. There were no 'top-of-the-edge' preparation classes in the Wine-capital-of-India. So Satan had to get up at 0330hrs,
catch a train,
even in the rain,
oh the pain,
it didn't go in vain...
Dave Mustaine?,
and return by 2330hrs every Sunday. After the entrance exam, there was a gruelling interview. Satan was brutally honest during that. Yeah, there was a Group-discussion and blah blah blah.
Finally a Duronto across south-eastern India and Steel Express beyond Raka Mines to reach 'the B-School'.Travelling in the train, curling upto a book (Mastery by Robert Green) while chilling by the window is defintely an under-rated pleasure:
B-School definitely fun and challenging. The accomodation is quite comfortable so far. The window faces east, so that one could watch the sunrise as early as 0500hrs. Yes, its quite opposite: Mornings are earlier here as its on the Eastern side contrary to the evenings were longer back in the Wine-capital-of-India as it was on the Western side. A picture taken at 0500hrs. I'm not sure whether this one speaks a thousand words..
Speaking of early:
1. Mission 120+ started
2. Organized 3 meetups in Bangalore
3. Resigned early and joined a ad-hoc job for about a month
What will this 1 year hold? Only time will tell...

Efficiency wages, involuntary unemployment and urban spatial structure
AbstractThe labor market model is developed within an urban spatial context, where it is shown that effeciency-wage policies can lead to significant levels of involuntary unemployment. Commuting cost differences between workers and nonworkers tend to increase unemployment, and competition for land tends to segregate workers and non-workers, with nonworkers relegated to the urban fringe. These findings are extended to a two-city system, where it is shown that even with free mobility of workers, significant wage and unemployment differentials can exist between cities characterized by different levels of productivity.

Open Book Bin
Family Find
Open Book Bin
• $179
• Land of Nod
I'm a big proponent of making kids' books as accessible as possible. This walnut bin is low to the ground and easy to take books in and out of. It's also one of the most handsome takes on a book bin I've come across.

$179 for a mass produced wood box, eh?
um... easily achieved at a fraction of the price!
oof. $179. for a book bin sounds like an April Fool's Day post...

Exactly, to the day actually, 4 years after the FA, Sean McColl has made the coveted 2nd ascent of Chris Sharma's Dreamcatcher, 9a, at Squamish, BC. "Although many strong climbers over the past 4 years including Sonnie Trotter, Ethan Pringle and Paul Robinson have tried the route, none have been able to make the second ascent. Before today, the route was unrepeated. I am also the first Canadian to climb an established 5.14d. ".

Review: Olive Leaf Australia's Olive Leaf Extract
A few days before I am due to go away I always start to feel a little run down. I don't know if it is the nervous energy and stress of trying to get everything done before I go, but it always happens – without fail. So it came as no surprise when my glands were sore and I had a sore throat a few days before I was due to leave for my conference last week. As you can imagine this made me really happy and not extra frazzled in the slightest!
My Mum is a big fan of Olive Leaf Extract, she swears it's the reason behind why she rarely gets sick and after looking further into it, I must say I agree with her. Olive Leaf Australia's Olive Leaf Extract has 400% more antioxidants than the equivalent amount of Vitamin C, 40 times more health-giving antioxidants than extra virgin olive oils and antioxidant capacity that is almost double that of an equivalent amount of green tea. Who are making these claims you may ask? Australia's Southern Cross University published these findings in The Journal of Alternative & Complementary Medicine (2007) so you can rest assured that the claims are real.
As soon as I started to feel not so good I started shooting back Olive Leaf Australia's extract like a college student on spring break, and you know what… my sore throat was gone and I felt completely normal the next day. Now I know what some of you are thinking… It's a coincidence, my body was getting better naturally etcetera etcetera and maybe that was the case. But I'm sure it had something to do with the Olive Leaf Extract which is why it is now part of my supplement routine.
Olive Leaf Extract can also be used for:
- InEasing Fevers & Boosting Immune Function – Since 4000 years ago in Ancient Egyptian times Olive Leaf Extract has been used to help boost immune function and ease fevers
- Cardiovascular Health – Phenolic Olive compounds such as Oleuropein may protect the heart and circulatory system – EurOlive study (2011)
- Metabolic Syndrome – Olive Leaf Extract is recognised for its ability to maintain blood pressure within a healthy range. It also may prevent the onset of Metabolic Syndrome – The Journal of Nutrition (2010)
Do you take Olive Leaf Extract? Are you keen to try it?

Investment account moved. Now what?
How to tidy up your account after a move.
Last week I explained how easy it is to move your investments (RRSP, RESP, etc.) from one advisor or brokerage to another. It gets tougher when trying to decide what to do with the holdings in the account.
The following three questions are typical for investors who are transferring their investment accounts.
1. Do I sell? The answer depends on your goal. Perhaps you want to invest in low-fee exchange traded funds (ETFs) instead of more expensive and generally far more confusing mutual funds. If so you'll want to sell your holdings and reinvest. The same is true if you are shifting from stocks and bonds to mutual funds or ETFs and vice versa.
However, you may like some of your holdings. I moved from an advisor many years ago to a discount brokerage. In the first stage of re-organizing my portfolio, I kept all stocks that had a long history of paying and increasing dividends and sold everything else.
I also had some niche mutual funds in technology and healthcare, which had never done much except cost money so out the door they went.
The next phase consisted of pruning where I was too heavily invested. For example, I had a number of companies manufacturing consumer discretionary products (beer, wine, furniture, leather goods), which made me vulnerable to an economic downturn. I bid them adieu.
If you are switching advisors be leery of those who encourage you to sell everything and re-invest, especially in mutual funds. You may indeed have lousy investments deserving the boot. But it might just be a way to generate a fee windfall. Question every decision! Ask to see proof that the new funds are better and cheaper than the ones you already have.
2. Sell all or gradually? If you are cleaning house and have mutual funds you may also be dragging along deferred sales charges (DSCs). These pesky fees are what you pay for the privilege of selling an investment.
In the first year of owning units of a DSC fund you will pay five or six per cent of the value if you sell. The fee declines to zero, usually after six years. There are low-load funds where the DSC fee drops to zero after 3 years. Don't forget, if you've been buying units over time, each purchase will come with a fresh DSC schedule.

Book Description:How is the future world energy demand to be met? The rates of use of the fossil fuels - coal, oil and natural gas - are increasing all over the world. The remaining stocks are finite and are not renewable. This text considers the various options of renewable energy, including water energy, wind energy and biomass, solar thermal and solar photovoltaic energy. And should the nuclear option remain open? The work examines the environmental implications and economic viability of all fossil and renewable sources, introduces more distant future options of geothermal energy and nuclear fusion, and discusses a near-future energy strategy.

Not Hot for Teacher!
Dr. Michelle Golland: It's a classic story: A teenager attends the first day of school and winds up hating one of his teachers. (Can't you just hear the angry whine of a 14-year-old telling you how this teacher is the worst teacher, mean and a difficult grader to boot?!) As he slams the door to his room, you hear him mumbling about how the teacher "hates" him, too. With their teens' hormones raging -- and peer pressure not helping to open kids' minds to the possibility that this or that "horrible" teacher may not be as bad as they think -- what are parents to do?
Our first reaction may be to just rush down to the school and get them out of the class. But that may not be such a good idea. Dealing with personality conflicts is a part of life. We've all had bosses and coworkers that we just didn't get along with, but we don't get to just quit our jobs because we don't like someone. In life, sometimes we just need to deal with what we've been given and try to make the best of it. This is a very important lesson for our kids to learn. Whether they're in college or at their first jobs, we need to help them be resilient and flexible when dealing with others in their world -- even if those others are "mean" and "hateful".
1) Listen to your teen's concerns about his teacher. (Remember that you're only getting one side of the story, though.)
2) Encourage your teen to meet with the teacher during office hours, and help him articulate what he wants to say. Helping your teen be independent and create a working relationship with the teacher will be a valuable learning lesson.
3) If he refuses to talk to the teacher on his own, set up a meeting with the three of you -- but have your child do most of the talking. (You're just there to provide support and foster understanding between them.)
4) Follow up with your child and the teacher to see if the resolution has been successful. Check in via e-mail with the teacher occasionally.
5) Document all interactions, whether they be phone calls, meetings or e-mails. If the problem is not being dealt with to your satisfaction and you decide that further action is needed (i.e., taking it to the principal and counselor), you will need documentation.
1) If something inappropriate or unethical is occurring in the classroom or with your child, you must immediately go to the school counselor or principal. These situations must be documented, and they require prompt attention.
2) If you've tried all of the strategies above yet the issues between your child and his teacher are still not resolved, then you must go over the teacher's head.
It is imperative that we help our kids deal with conflicts in their world. We want them to be able to articulate their thoughts, feelings and concerns in a clear manner to the adults in their lives. Our teens need to know that they can have a successful outcome by confronting problems directly instead of just avoiding conflict. Once they go off to college, we won't always be there to help them solve their people problems. So build their confidence now by teaching them how to face issues head-on in a mature manner -- with you as their model.
I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown.
Some genuinely excellent posts on this internet site,regards for contribution.
I love your wordpress web template, where did you get a hold of it?
I just could not depart your site before suggesting that I really enjoyed the standard information a person provide for your visitors? Is gonna be back often to check up on new posts
I and my buddies happened to be analyzing the excellent helpful tips on your website while before long I had a horrible suspicion I never expressed respect to the site owner for those strategies. Those men ended up so joyful to read all of them and now have seriously been loving them. We appreciate you genuinely really helpful and for deciding upon such really good guides most people are really eager to be aware of. My personal sincere apologies for not expressing gratitude to earlier.
Hi there, I found your site via Google while looking for a related topic, your web site came up, it looks good. I've bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.
naturally like your website but you need to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth nevertheless I will definitely come back again.
I appreciate, cause I found exactly what I was looking for. You have ended my four day long hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nice day. Bye
Hi, Neat post. There's a problem with your website in internet explorer, would check this⦠IE still is the market leader and a large portion of people will miss your great writing because of this problem.
We're a group of volunteers and starting a new scheme in our community. Your site offered us with valuable info to work on. You have done a formidable job and our entire community will be grateful to you.
Hello.This post was extremely remarkable, especially because I was searching for thoughts on this topic last Friday.
I have got 1 recommendation for your web site. It seems like there are a few cascading stylesheet problems when launching a number of web pages within google chrome and safari. It is functioning alright in internet explorer. Possibly you can double check that.
If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.
I was been trying to find the WWW for such info and i wanted to say thanks to you for the post. By the way, just off topic, where can i get a version of this theme? â Thank you
This website has a lot of extremely helpful information on it. Cheers for sharing it with me.

I love this school. My son is learning so much and is enjoying the time he is there. The Teachers, Assistants and Directors are all wonderful people. I plan on sending my other 2 children there next year when they are 3.
This school I think is a great school. My first daughter went here for preschool and K and had the most wonderful time. Miss Kate is great and she is treated very well! I know many people who have had there children at this school since they were infants and they still attend now that they are older children. I just recently had a new baby who is 4 months and A step up was the first place I called for child care. Yes the school is old but it is very clean and well kept. The only thing I do not like at this school is the baby sleeping area. I agree it is a very small boxy room and has only 1 door but it is off the toddler room and a teacher is always in the room while children sleep!
I have had my children in a few centers, and I have to say I am very pleased my children attend this one. I know my children are loved by the staff at A Step Up. Every day they are happy when I pick them up. My son has special needs, and the center helped me get him the help he needed. How many childcare center directors do you know that will make the effort to go to another state to help with the evaluation process? I am very happy I found this school. I only wish I found it sooner.
I agree. It is a great school. My children went there for 5 years. The teachers and directors are kind, caring people. There is more to a 'school' than brand new facilities. Schools are about community and curriculum. My children are successful 4th and 7th graders now, both academically and socially; they had a great start at A Step Up.

Well, school is fully in session again. It's hard to believe, isn't it? The buses are running, the teachers and students are excited, and "the three R's" are being taught and learned at a record pace.
The apostle Peter wrote, "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby" (I Peter 2:2).
Earl D. Williams, pastor of Wilderness Baptist Church in Midway, loves to fish, but seldom has the time to enjoy his hobby. He said he's too busy fishing for souls.
Growing up in church has given me a unique perspective on walking the Christian walk. I've had opportunities to share the room with gifted men and women of God. Generally, as pastors and parishioners, we're able to quote scripture dealing with the "fruits of the spirit" - love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, faith, etc. However, we all know that quoting scripture and actually practicing what you preach are two separate things.
The prophet Isaiah was sent to the people of Israel to try and get them to turn back to God, putting all their trust in Him.
In 1 Peter 3:15, Christians are told to "always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have."
Okay, I have to admit it. I love baseball. I know that many in the younger generation are bored by the game. But I find it fascinating.
During the week of Aug. 9-14, First Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in Hinesville will celebrate its ministry anniversaries at 7:30 p.m. Bishop Victor Couzens Sr., of the Inspirational Baptist Church in Cincinnati, will speak Monday through Friday. At 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 14, the Rev. William Miller, of New Fellowship Baptist Church in Glennville, will speak.
Another day up, another day down. Let's look at life one day at a time. Yes, we all have a calendar full of appointments and events. But we must slow down and thank God for letting us live one day at a time. We won't live forever, so it's important to be grateful for every hour and every day.
I will never forget the day for as long as I live. I was sitting on the living room sofa in my home in Warren, Mich., listening to my sister on the phone from Atlanta.
Despite what some may believe and even try and teach, God is a loving God.
The other day I was walking around the house and just happened to notice out of the corner of my eye a lily that had just bloomed.
School starts this week and parents in the area are busy shopping and making sure their children have everything they need for the first day of the new academic year. Teachers are returning from vacations, putting together lesson plans and setting up their classrooms. Children are excited about new schools, new uniforms and new friends. Many are bored with summer and look forward to this day. Yes, it's back-to-school time. Children are rested and ready to return with clean slates and high expectations.
Peter wrote, "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you" (1 Peter 5:7). In order to be able to have the faith to trust God with our cares we must keep our faith strong.
"Man, it's hot!"
Fall started this week. Can you feel it in the crisp and cool mornings and evenings?
John reveals to all that there is a battle being fought every day. It is a battle that involves everyone on the face of the Earth.
The other day, I was out at our community dock and someone from the community said to me, "I really like your shirt."
I often wonder who reads the articles I write for the newspaper.
"A soap manufacturer and a [preacher] were walking together down a street in a large city. The soap manufacturer casually said, 'The Gospel you preach hasn't done much good, has it? Just observe. There is still a lot of wickedness in the world, and a lot of wicked people, too!' The [preacher] made no reply until they passed a dirty little child making mud pies in the gutter. Seizing the opportunity, the [preacher] said, 'I see that soap hasn't done much good in the world, for there is much dirt and many dirty people around.' The soap manufacturer ...
All throughout Jesus' ministry, he constantly condemned the religious leaders of his day for being like their forefathers.
I'm sure you have seen the commercial at some point. She says, "It has to be true. I read it on the Internet." And then she meets her date -the "French supermodel." And you chuckle because you know someone who is that naïve.
Do you understand that Jesus loves you? Yes, you - you are important to God.
Recently, a celebrity made the news because of an illness and death.

Life has not been easy for Cristian Fernandez, and in the months to come, it will get immeasurably worse. The 13-year-old will be charged as an adult and is the youngest inmate awaiting trial in the county jail.
If convicted of first degree murder for the beating death of his 2-year-old half brother and the sexual abuse of his 5-year-old half brother, he could spend much of his life behind bars. As his short back-story unfolds, it's clear this young life has been a sad and devastating one.
The product of a sexual assault, his mother gave birth to him at just 14 years old. At 2 years old, he was found naked, dirty, and alone on a South Florida street. In the care of his grandmother, she was reportedly found with cocaine in a messy hotel room.
Cristian was later sexually assaulted by a cousin and physically abused by his stepfather, who committed suicide during the police investigation of that incident. So harrowing was his life, to survive, he once told a counselor: "You got to suck up feelings and get over it." What a sad perspective for such a young person.
Now facing a lengthy prison term, this poor child's life is over before it ever began. This case has definitely sparked a lot of controversy, as many people believe it's not right such a young child should face life in prison. However, even if found guilty, Fernandez will likely see the light of day. The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that it's unconstitutional for juveniles to get mandatory life sentences without parole.
If convicted, he certainly deserves to be locked away for some period of time. If only that meant he would get the help he needed. We all know that is unlikely. I can't even imagine what he will be like after decades behind bars, but I suppose one day we will find out after he is freed.
Watch more on the story:
Do you think a 13-year-old should be charged as an adult?
Image via Daquella manera/Flickr
I say put him in juvi and give him support and counseling and then reconsider when he is 18 or 21. Give him the tools to better him self if he cant or wont then reconsider his options.
This is incredibly sad. I know that there are people who come from the worst of situations and end up just fine but it really seems like this kid didn't have a chance. It doesn't excuse what he did or what happened but I agree with Cass...I wouldn't want to be on the jury of this trial.
Throw the book at him. Many people grow up in horrible situations and don't end up becoming killers or child molestors. At 13, he knew exactly what he was doing.
Born to a 12 year old mother, he didn't have much of a chance. They were both put in care after the grandmother incident, raised as siblings, not as a mother and and her baby. The child didn't stand much of a chance, he was always going to be damaged. But he murder a baby, and molested another child. He knew what he was doing when he murdered the baby. He was twelve when he brutally murdered a baby. He knew exactly what he was doing, and should most definitely be charged as an adult.
Compare it to the murder of james bulger in england in the early 90's. His murderers never really rehabilitated, and they were not given full sentences. This boy knew the baby was defenceless, he has put himself at the mercy of the court now.

Big K.R.I.T - My Interpretation
Artist: Big K.R.I.T
Producer: Big K.R.I.T.
Album: Prefix & Potholes Summer Sampler
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 13 total votes )
I was recently speaking to a friend and, when asked some of my favorite hip-hop newcomers, initially mentioned XV and Dom Kennedy, but also slipped in Big K.R.I.T. Not familiar with the Mississippi rapper/producer/DJBooth Freestyle alum, I explained to her that while I was introduced to the man on his recent breakthrough project K.R.I.T. Wuz Here, his ability to bare his soul on every record caught my ear, a quality he showcases yet again on his new song My Interpretation. My Interpretation is an audio outlook on pushing past life's negatives and seeing through them, ranging in topics from struggling for a bite to eat to doubting oneself because of skin color. It's like a motivational book on tape, in dope rap form. Interpretation's softly soulful beat is self-produced, making it the kind of track you can play any non-hip-hop listening friend and have them understand exactly who Krizza is as an artist. Those looking to be introduced to even more under-the-mainstream-radar dopeness should check out Interpretation's home, Prefix & Potholes Summer Sampler, out now.

Separation Advice – Questions About Relationship Separations
To many couples having real problems, separation, or living apart from one another, is the death-knell of a marriage or relationship. But, rest assured, it doesn't always have to be like that. While making things work is the responsibility of both people involved, very often one partner's efforts can be the catalyst that gets a relationship back on it's feet.
Couples who separate aren't necessarily in a marital situation. Even people who are living together can decide to live apart as a way of trying to work out their relationship troubles. Without actually ending the relationship, they are more able to see the issues that are causing problems.
photo credit: h.koppdelaney,
More often than not, a relationship separations occur when a partner has been caught cheating and the trust factor in the relationship has been severely damaged. Surprisingly however, while many believe that a split from each other following such incidents is the final step before divorce, statistics reveal that a mutually agreed separations can be beneficial toward repairing relationship problems.
In many ways you could liken a couple's separation to time in the 'sin-bin", to use an ice hockey parlance; a period when both parties are able to cool off a bit and have time and space to regather their composure. By taking a break from one another it can reduce the possibility of them making wrong or hasty decisions when emotions are running high.
However, on the other side of the coin, sometimes a partner will agree to or suggest a trial separation for the wrong reasons. While they really don't want save the marriage or relationship, they don't want to upset their spouse or partner either. They put off the inevitable end result and in doing so, cause more pain and suffering in the long run.
In a separation relationship there's always the chance of couples getting back together. It would be foolish for anyone to suggest these situations hardly, if ever, work out for the best. There's a popular saying, "Never say never!", that could aptly apply to any separation, so don't dismiss them out of hand.
Separation Advice – The Do's and Don'ts of Relationship Separations
* Make it as easy as possible for your partner to come back to the marriage or relationship. It's important that you let them know by what you say and do that the 'door is always open' for them to return and you really want them back.
* Don't continually harp on the fact that you want them back. This will only make your partner feel as though they are somehow obligated to return to the relationship and that you are trying to manipulate the situation. Your partner needs to come back to you through mutual arrangement, not because it's something you want or expect!
* If you're willing to forgive your spouse or partner for their cheating behavior, getting back together too soon can be a disaster. Emotional wounds take time to heal properly. Take your time to weigh up the pro's and con's of the situation and don't allow yourself to be influenced by external pressures.
* In contrast to the previous point. If you were the one who was unfaithful in the relationship it is imperative that you give the other person the necessary time and space to work out whether or not they want to take you back. Forgiveness doesn't come easy and trust needs time to rebuild.
In summing up, it doesn't matter which way you look at separation in marriage or any type of relationship for that matter. It's a statement that something is wrong; something needs fixing! Separation isn't necessarily the first step in divorce proceedings, rather it should be looked upon as an opportunity to repair a relationship that's in trouble.

Review: Why the new iPad doesn't merit a '3'
Hard to distinguish at first glance from an iPad 2, the new iPad's changes are welcome but subtle for business users
Don't mess with success: That was clearly the mantra for the third-generation iPad, which went on sale this past Friday. Although it has many improvements, they're all evolutionary -- unsurprising enhancements that will please users but do not justify an upgrade if you already own an iPad 2. Nor do they justify the whole-number version update that many expected. It's appropriate that Apple didn't call the new iPad an iPad 3.
The business users who will most appreciate the third-gen the iPad are those with aging eyes (such as myself), who travel internationally, and who do image- and photo-oriented work. For personal use, the 2,048-by-1,536-pixel Retina display ushers in a new era of hyperrealistic game play and noticeably crisper HD video playback. And you get all that for the same price as the previous iPads: $499 for a Wi-Fi-only model with 16GB of storage, $599 for 32GB, and $699 for 64GB. The Wi-Fi + 4G models cost $130 extra. (The iPad 2 remains available in just its 16GB models, which now cost $399 for Wi-Fi only and $529 for the Wi-Fi + 3G model.) Color options for the front bezel remain black and white.

IT pros will be happy about the new iPad too; as far as they're concerned it's just another iPad. There are no changes in the third-gen iPad that will impact their mobile device management (MDM) tool, mobile application management strategy, or any other aspect of supporting the device compared to the previous models.
Most of the iPad's short list of improvements are in its hardware, such as the Retina display, an optional 4G LTE cellular radio, use of the faster and more power-efficient Bluetooth 4 radio technology, and a 5-megapixel rear camera that can shoot 1080p HD video. The new iPad is a tenth of a pound heavier than the iPad 2 and a tad thicker to accommodate the Retina display and the extra battery needed to maintain the iPad's 9- to 11-hour range (which my tests show are unchanged). The heavier weight is perceptible but barely so. Protective skins and the Apple Smart Cover for the iPad 2 fit just fine on the third-gen iPad, so you don't need to buy new ones.
I also noticed that the connector for the standard Apple 30-pin-to-USB cable is a tighter, surer fit on the the new iPad. On the iPad 2, it was a bit loose -- I sometimes had trouble keeping a constant connection when sending presentations to a projector via that cable. However, another hardware annoyance of the iPad 2 has not been addressed in the new iPad: The volume rocker is still at the bottom of the iPad when a Smart Cover is in use, at just the right spot to constantly shift as it pushes against your lap or other surface.
The few software-oriented changes either take advantage of the new hardware -- such as the ability to tether computers and other devices to the iPad's cellular connection -- or enhance existing capabilities, such as the new Dictation tool available in any text field. The third-gen iPad's iOS 5.1 is the same as in the previous iPads, as well as the iPhone 3G S and later and the third-generation iPod Touch and later. (iOS 5.1 itself is a minor update from iOS 5.0, with some bug fixes, support for iCloud syncing of iTunes-purchased movies over Wi-Fi, a revamp Camera app UI, and the added ability to delete images in iCloud's Photo Stream sync service via the Photos app.)
What you get are individually solid changes that solidify the iPad's advantages, but don't create new ones.

Matt Grothe Era Will Be Remembered As 'The Good Old Days'
That 80-3 win over a Division II school in the inaugural South Florida Bulls football game seemed a hundred years before when I saw the Bulls ranked number 2 in the BCS Standings on October 14, 2007, just barely over ten years later.
Who? How? How in the world?
Mainly it happened because of one man. Matt Grothe.
That's why accepting Grothe's USF career is over because of the torn ACL he suffered Saturday is so hard. Matt was going to fulfill all the considerable promise seen in his first three years in this, his senior season. Oh sure, we knew he would become the Big East's all-time total offense leader. We knew that for the first time in his career he could line up against his old high school peers at Florida State and Miami. We saw the opportunity for the elusive quarterback to finally put it all together and with the help of George Selvie and the Bulls defense, maybe, get into that BCS bowl as Big East champions.
None of that will happen now. It makes the hairs on my neck stand up thinking about the immense disappointment that all involved (including myself) feel. Two minutes and fifty-four seconds remained on the game clock in the first half Saturday versus Charleston Southern when his ACL was torn submitting to a tackle. Grothe had been informed before the game he would not play in the second half. He had just injured his shoulder on the previous possession and was about to inform offensive coordinator Mike Canales that he didn't want to go back in, when the defense forced a quick punt and andrenaline took over and out he went for one more series. Un-BULL-ievable, indeed.
My fervent hope is that Matt Grothe will grow as a college football legend. An institution to South Florida football forever. After all that Grothe (GROTH-ee) accomplished, that is how it must be. The desire to shake our heads and swim in the question of 'what might have been' should be quelled. This player deserves better.
A recruit from Lake Gibson High in Polk County, Matt recieved lots of feelers and letters but hardly any scholarship offers. He came to Tampa with a huge chip on his shoulder. After impressing coaches as the scout team QB in his redshirt season, he became the starter the following year.
In his three plus years he helped beat Pat White and the Mountaineers, twice. The Bulls beat SEC stalwart Auburn AT Jordan-Hare, and of course rose to national prominence with that #2 ranking. He took the Bulls to their first ever bowl win. In 2007 he was one of only three FBS players to rush for more than 850 yards and pass for more than 2,500. The others were Central Michigan's Dan LeFevour and the Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. Chuck Sullivan, the Director of Communications for the Big East said that if there was a Mt. Rushmore of this new era of the conference, "Matt Grothe would be on it." More important than these though, was his ebullient, nose to the grindstone, find a way to win nature. He was a player that truly led by example. He has a top ten list of plays at USF's football page on their official athletic website that gives you a sample of how special he has been to the success at USF.
Looking ahead to their first ever matchup with Florida State in Tallhassee this coming Saturday, the Bulls will no doubt try to draw strength and purpose from Grothe's absence. He said he will be on the sidelines, coaching and cajoling his replacement: redshirt freshman B.J. Daniels. I will watch. I will root. I will smile if Daniels flashes his speed and think about the coming era of USF football.
I wish Matt Grothe all the best in the future. I hope someday when Matt's on one of those lakes in Pasco County at sunrise using a full overhead cast to find that monster bass, he will fondly remember all those nights in Raymond James Stadium and know that the Bulls faithful will never forget #8.

UFC president Dana White on Saturday night announced details for several upcoming events and match-ups.
Among the announcements was the headliner for UFC Fight Night 35, which is slated for Jan. 15 at The Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga.
Former Strikeforce middleweight champion Luke Rockhold will square off with Costa Philippou in a five-round, non-title fight in the night's main event.
More MMA
Rockhold won the Strikeforce belt by upsetting Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza in September of 2011. He went on to defend the strap twice, against Keith Jardine and Tim Kennedy, before he was transferred over to the Octagon when Zuffa folded Strikeforce.
He was 10-1 at that point, but added a second loss to his record when Vitor Belfort knocked him out with a kick to the cranium at UFC on FX 8 earlier this year in Brazil.
Like Rockhold, Philippou (12-3, 1 NC) is coming off of a loss following a streak of victories.
Following a five-fight streak of wins that was capped by a TKO stoppage of Tim Boetsch, Philippou lost a unanimous decision to Francis Carmont at UFC 165 in September.
A win in Georgia puts the victor back within striking distance of a title shot, but the loser will tumble backwards down a long road to recovery.

awesome matchup. i fear for Luke but it should be an exciting fight!
Great fight. I still wouldn't mind Bisping against either of these guys but this fight should be really good. Very important fight for Costa. A win will keep him up there. Luke had a loss to Belfort, no big deal and a loss to Costa won't destroy him. He is a former champion and will probably still be considered a contender.
