Article Free PassThe world championship and FIDE
Staunton used his position as unofficial world champion to popularize the Staunton-pattern set, to promote a uniform set of rules, and to organize the first international tournament, held in London in 1851. Karl Ernst Adolf Anderssen, a German schoolteacher, was inspired by the Bourdonnais-McDonnell match to turn from problem composing to tournament competition, and he won the London tournament and with it recognition as unofficial champion. (See Game 4.) The London tournament, in turn, inspired American players to organize the first national championship, the First American Chess Congress, in New York City in 1857, which set off the first chess craze in the Western Hemisphere. The winner, Paul Morphy of New Orleans, was recognized as unofficial world champion after defeating Anderssen in 1858.
The world championship became more formalized after Morphy retired and Anderssen was defeated by Wilhelm Steinitz of Prague in a match in 1866. Steinitz was the first to claim the authority to determine how a title match should be held. (See Game 6.) He set down a series of rules and financial conditions under which he would defend his status as the world's foremost player, and in 1886 he agreed to play Johann Zukertort of Austria in the first match specifically designated as being for the world championship. Steinitz reserved the right to determine whose challenge he would accept and when and how often he would defend his title.
Steinitz's successor, Emanuel Lasker of Germany (see Games 7, 8, 9, and 10), proved a more demanding champion than Steinitz in arranging matches. He took long periods, from 1897 to 1907 and later from 1910 to 1921, without defending his title. After the leading national chess federations, the British and German, failed to arrange a match between Lasker and any of his leading challengers on the eve of World War I, the momentum for an independent international authority began to grow.
The controversy over the championship was eased when José Raúl Capablanca of Cuba defeated Lasker in 1921 and won the agreement, at a tournament in London in 1922, of the world's other leading players to a written set of rules for championship challenges. Under those rules, any player who met certain financial conditions (in particular, guaranteeing a $10,000 stake) could challenge the World Champion. While the top players were trying to adhere to the London Rules, representatives of 15 countries met in Paris in 1924 to organize the first permanent international chess federation, known as FIDE, its French acronym for Fédération Internationale des Échecs.
The London Rules worked smoothly in 1927 when Capablanca was dethroned by Alexander Alekhine (see Game 14), the first Russian-born champion, but then proved to be a financial obstacle in Capablanca's bid for a rematch. FIDE's attempts to intervene failed. Alekhine was widely criticized for manipulating the rules, and when he died in 1946 FIDE assumed the authority to organize world championship matches.
From 1948, when FIDE organized a match tournament to fill the vacancy created by Alekhine's death, until 1975 the FIDE format worked without major problems. The international federation organized three-year cycles of regional and international competitions to determine the challengers for the World Champion and solicited bids for match sites. The champion no longer had a veto power over opponents and was required to defend the title every three years.
FIDE also took over the Women's World Championship and biennial Olympiad team championships, which originated in the 1920s. In addition, the federation developed new championship titles, particularly for junior players in various age groups. It also created a system for recognizing top players by arithmetic rating and by titles based on tournament performance. The highest title, after World Champion, is International Grandmaster, of whom there are now more than 500 in the world.
The easing and eventual end of the Cold War spurred international chess by reducing barriers. By the mid-1990s, close to 2,000 tournaments registered with FIDE were held each year—more than 50 times the number during the 1950s. Amateur chess expanded sharply. Membership in the U.S. Chess Federation jumped from 2,100 in 1957 to more than 70,000 in 1973.
All World Champions and challengers from 1951 to 1969 were Soviet citizens, and all the championship matches were held in Moscow with small prizes and limited international publicity. The victory of Robert J. (Bobby) Fischer of the United States in 1972 was an abrupt change. (See Game 20.) Fischer's demands spurred an increase in the prize fund to $250,000—a sum greater than all previous title matches combined. After winning the highly publicized match, Fischer insisted on a greater say in match rules than had any previous champion in the FIDE era. In particular, he objected to a rule, used by FIDE since 1951, that limited championship matches to 24 games. FIDE dropped the rule, but Fischer demanded further concessions. In the end he refused to defend his title; in 1975 he became the first champion to lose it by default.
Fischer's successor, Anatoly Karpov of the Soviet Union, reigned for 10 years but was dethroned in 1985 by a countryman and bitter rival, Garry Kasparov. (See Game 22.) Kasparov then clashed repeatedly with FIDE over the rules governing the championship. He reluctantly agreed to defend his title under the federation's rules three times during 1986–90, winning each time. However, when Nigel Short of England won the right to challenge Kasparov for the championship in 1993, he and Kasparov decided instead to play the match under the auspices of a new organization, the Professional Chess Association (PCA). (See Game 23.) Before Kasparov defeated Short in London in late 1993 in the first PCA championship, FIDE disqualified Kasparov and organized its own world championship match, won by Karpov.
FIDE began holding annual "knockout" tournaments in 1999 to determine its championship. Alexander Khalifman of Russia won the first tournament, which was held in Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2000 the tournament venue was split between New Delhi, India, and Tehrān, Iran, and was won by Viswanathan Anand of India. Meanwhile, Kasparov lost a title match to Vladimir Kramnik of Russia in 2000.
Following negotiations with FIDE, which recognized Kramnik as the "classical" world chess champion, he agreed to a unification match in 2006 with FIDE's challenger, the Bulgarian grandmaster Veselin Topalov, who had won the 2005 FIDE World Championship Tournament. Kramnik won the match. As part of the unification contract, the winner agreed to risk the consolidated title in FIDE's 2007 World Championship Tournament. Anand won the tournament and successfully defended the title against Kramnik in a 12-game match in 2008.

Looking for some fun ways to mix things up in your geography lessons? Here are five fun ways to help the kids learn their way around the world.
- Online games: Play games like Countries in Europe, The USA Map or the Countries of the World Quiz. They're addictive fun and you really pick up a lot of information fast! Our family loves to work together to top our previous scores.
- Globe challenge: Set up a sand timer and get out a globe. Take turns naming a place on the globe and see if the other person can find it before the sand runs out. We give hints for younger players (such as "It's part of North America" or "It's North of the Equator") and when players are struggling.
- Map darts: Here's a fun one for older kids, especially outside in a garage or patio area. Find or make a large corkboard and rotate various large maps on top of it. Challenge the kids to throw darts at a specific state, country, city or other geographic point of interest. The person who comes closest to the mark scores a point. You can decide if you'll allow the kids to go find the point first and then aim, or if they have to guess and throw, and then find it after everyone has thrown to see who was closest. (Note: If kids are too young to safely use darts, you can also play this with spitballs. What child isn't going to love a school game that involves those?!)
- Pin the plane on the country. Put a large world map on the wall and make a small paper plane to attach with a piece of double sided tape, a push pin or a bit of blue-tack. Show the kids a location on the map and then blindfold them, spin them around and have them try to land the plane as close as possible to that spot. For a more advanced version, don't show the kids where the location is beforehand. Measure how far off each child is (be sure to convert to real miles!) and see who lands closest.
- Watch and sing: Countries change often, so there are often changes as soon as someone comes out with a great song or video to help remember all (or lots) of the countries. That said, there are some great ones out there. This song by Tom Chapin is lots of fun for kids to try to sing along to. This video from the Animaniacs series is a hit in our house, and "Zombiedude" updated it and made his own version in 2012, with all the countries listed in the description so you can sing along. Be sure to also check out 6 year-old Brennan's remarkable version! Why not challenge the kids to make their own?
Have fun!

Duvet cover will not release wrinkles even after steaming and taking to cleaners for them to try. It is oversized and none of the comforters to be used as a fill for the cover fit. King sized accessories are on back order, so you will be waiting weeks to complete your bedroom remodel. What a $500 disappointment!

Mega-Hit 'The Intouchables' Will Conquer America With Charm
"The Intouchables" is a film in a foreign language (French) with no discernible stars. And it's a monster hit -- overseas. But now it's finally getting the chance to occupy an even bigger stage, as the film hits U.S. theaters today.
Since opening in France and throughout Europe last year, "The Intouchables" has gone on to become France's second highest-grossing movie ever, grossing close to $300 million at the worldwide box office (over $166 million in France alone). Take that, James Cameron! Add to that the fact that its star, Omar Sy, beat out Academy Award winner Jean Dujardin ("The Artist") at the Cesar Awards (France's equivalent to the Oscars) for the Best Actor trophy, and it's clear that "The Intouchables" is, you guessed it, untouchable.

Here's a short video where I tried some varying techniques with the MiniDV Steadycam. I have a few shots with dolly-ish movements, some quick running shots, alternating angles, etc. Pretty much all improv stuff, nothing planned.
The intro clips were shot with the Handy35. I used higher shutter speeds with it and was really impressed by the crispness of the picture. Most of the shots with the adapter were at 1/250, but one is at 1/1000. I didn't have the motor speed turned up fast enough for 1/1000 so most of the adapter footage at that speed was unusable due to the grain becoming visible. However, I think I can turn the motor up a bit and actually use that shutter speed with the Handy.

Los Angeles Times: HPV-linked head and throat cancers easier to treat unless patient is a smoker, University of Michigan study finds
A growing incidence of head and throat cancers have been traced back to the human papillomavirus, or HPV, rather than smoking.
With that in mind, University of Michigan researchers recently decided to examine the difference in outcomes between smokers with HPV-linked head and throat cancer and those who had never smoked.
Turns out, the HPV-linked tumors were easier to treat than non-HPV associated cancers. That is, unless the patient was a smoker. Those with HPV-linked cancers who smoked were six times as likely to recur than those who had never smoked.
According to a Los Angeles Time health blog, treatments for head and neck cancers include harsh treatments such as radiation, chemotherapy and surgery.
The researchers from U-M's Comprehensive Cancer Center said they planned to begin a clinical trial to milder treatments later this year.


text: Technical Abstract: Preliminary results of a computational analysis of high throughput sequencing data from Zea mays and the fungus Aspergillus are reported. The Illumina Genome Analyzer was used to sequence RNA samples from two strains of Z. mays (Va35 and Mp313) collected over a time course as well as several species and strains of Aspergillus, with the ultimate goal of identifying genes possibly involved in resistance of maize to Aspergillus infection. Raw sequence reads were 26bp and 36bp for maize and Aspergillus, respectively. Most reads contained portions of the Solexa gene expression adapter sequences, which were removed before performing alignment, resulting in an average read length of about 18bp for both maize and Aspergillus data. After filtering, Phred quality was analyzed and determined to be on average 31 for maize and 28 for Aspergillus sequences. The alignment tool Bowtie was used to perform an initial alignment to the B73 4a.53 draft of the maize genome and the A. flavus NRRL3357 genome, respectively. Initial mappings on maize produced an average of 98% of sequences mapping to a genomic location with up to two mismatches allowed, with about 57% mapping uniquely within the best stratum. Aspergillus sequences fared better with 91% of sequences mapping and almost 73% mapping to a unique genomic location. The remaining unmapped sequences were analyzed for potential matches to exon junctions and intronic regions. An overview of possible further computational approaches to handling these situations, as well as the remaining ambiguous mappings, is presented.

William Davis of Sheffield, Ala., weighed a five-bass limit totaling 21 pounds, 2 ounces Saturday to win the Walmart Bass Fishing League LBL Division event on Kentucky/Barkley lakes. For his victory, Davis earned $4,119.
"It was a really tough day out there," said Davis." I was very fortunate to get a few big bites from three different spots. I had around 50 bites throughout the day, but I really only had four big ones. The bite was better in the morning and then slowed down."
Davis stayed on Kentucky Lake for the entire tournament and targeted the ledges from 18 to 20 feet deep. He caught most of his fish with a shaky-head rig, and said plum was the hot color for the day.
"The key to my victory was my co-angler," Davis continued."I had forgotten my net, so he had to 'net' all of my fish with his hands. He was very good, though, and he definitely helped me win the tournament."
Rounding out the top 10 pros were:
Robert Pillow of Versailles, Ky., weighed a five-bass limit totaling 17 pounds, 12 ounces Saturday to win $2,059 in the co-angler division.
Rounding out the top 10 co-anglers were:
The final BFL LBL Division tournament is scheduled for Sept. 15-16 on the Lake Barkley in Kuttawa, Ky. After that fifth LBL Division tournament is complete, the top 40 boaters and 40 co-anglers based on point standings will qualify for the Oct. 18-20 Regional Championship on Pickwick Lake in Florence, Ala. Boaters will compete for a top award of a Ranger Z518 with a 200-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard and a Chevy Silverado, while co-anglers will fish for a new Ranger Z518 with a 200-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard.
The BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 120 tournaments throughout the season, five in each division. The top 40 boaters and co-anglers from each division qualify for a regional tournament and compete to finish in the top six, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing - the Walmart BFL All-American presented by Chevy. Top winners in the BFL can move up to the EverStart Series or even the Walmart FLW Tour.

Calcasieu Community Clinic - Eligha Guillory, Jr.Open for non-narcotic prescription refills on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am until 2pm. Volunteer doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and lay people staff the clinic on these days. This site should be for medicine and supplies only. No major treatment is handled through the Clinic. the Clinic has seen an average of 60 patients a day. This is a collaboration of efforts of Calcasieu Parish Medical Society and Alliance, McNeese College of Nursing, Red Cross and Calcasieu Community Clinic. The Clinic is a central clearing house for medication and supplies being available to residents of the Special Needs Shelter, Lake Charles Civic Center, Burton Coliseum, and any hurricane evacuees residing in the greater Lake Charles area. If there are any medications that the Clinic does not have, a prescription is written and the patient is referred to Walgreen's, Rite Aid, Wal-Mart, or Kroger's to get it filled. If the medicine is available in the clinic, a sample supply is given to the patient while they are in the clinic, usually a month's supply, then a prescription is written for two refills that the patient can present to the above mentioned stores. The Clinic has been told by store representatives that if the patient has drug coverage, they will be asked to pay the co-pay. If the patient has no co-pay nor has any available resources (by using the honor system), the store will work with them. Red Cross is only providing vouchers for residents of their approved shelters.

Fonseca 5-50 Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 10 of 18 reviews
"I agree w/ Vern..."
Although the look and feel of the cigar was great, the taste was horrible and it literally provided zero smoke. Smoked about 1 inch before tossing it on the ground...just couldn't bear the thought of suffering through the entire stick waiting for it to get better. I have a few more in the humidor...anybody want them? This one is just plain BAD!
MD in NJ March 21, 2013
"CAUTION! You Will Love These if..."
... You like your smokes mild. And although it's not as medium as it claims to be, it is a fantastic stick. In fact, it's so good that I'm smoking one while writing this because I just couldn't wait. A must try!
Kason in March 13, 2013
"Great smoke!"
Great mild smoke. Just getting back into cigars and this was a nice one. nice construction, the draw was awesome and the taste was very mild but satisfying. I have a few more and will defiantly smoke them soon.
Erik in January 6, 2013
"the heck?"
Prelight draw tasted like a petrol product, very nasty. Smoke was thin and tasteless. Really felt like I was consuming the equivilet of a rice cake in a cigar.
Vern in Utah November 25, 2012
"Good smoke"
Was very surprised with this one, nice wrap great aroma and a consistent taste. Great mild afternoon smoke. Its no my father or illusione, but none the less good enough.
Jared in Ma April 15, 2012
"Very pleasant surprise"
Got 5from the monster based on the reviews. Really wasn't expecting much but this cigar definately earns all the praise.Great flavor for a medium smoke,easy draw,great burn.Can't ask more than that.I will be keeping these on hand for sure.
Tom in Cookeville,Tn February 8, 2012
"Excellent Every Time"
Everything about Fonseca 5-50 is excellent. Can't go wrong...I look forward to smoking this cigar as it is consistent in burn,draw and taste right down to the fingertips.
John Barberio in Lancaster NY May 3, 2011
"Very smooth, my new go-to"
This cigar is a perfect balance for an afternoon when I am not in the mood for a powerful smoke. Just lit my first one today,and wow! Smooth and a solid medium, yet with great flavor and nice even burn. Will definitely be getting a box to keep in my humi as a go to cigar.
John in Florida April 28, 2011
This is a great mild cigar. A perfect choice for a new cigar smoker as well as someone who has smoked for years. I have yet to be disappointed. The burn can be a little uneven at first from time to time but otherwise the construction is good. Has a mellow woody taste with a nice sweetness to it. An excellent cigar for the price!
jack in ohio February 4, 2011
"my main smoke"
My Humidor always has Fonseca 5-50's on hand. This is my favorite smoke, I enjoy it after a nice dinner out or a summer day in my back yard. Flavor really comes on halfway through but smokes consistently until the end. I prefer the natural slightly over the maduro but both are nice. I like the 2-2 for a quick smoke now and then but those petite corona's draw a little hot for my tastes. If you like a mild smoke you will love the 5-50.

American Maker Debuts in Chicago
A "Show-and-Tell" Program to Showcase Grassroots Innovation
September 20th, 2008
Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago, IL
Make Magazine has portrayed the work of thousands of makers across America. Now we're looking to discover the most innovative makers whose work has the potential to benefit others. We've created a new event called American Maker that will debut September 20th at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago as part of the launch of Science Chicago, a year-long celebration of science.
Organized by the editors of MAKE magazine and the producers of Maker Faire, American Maker is a live, day-long program that highlights grassroots innovation in local communities around the country.
Mister Jalopy, a contributing editor for MAKE magazine, will host the program.
We will have three panelists interviewing makers:
- Colleen Ludwig, Artist and Assistant Professor, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee
- Marc de Vinck, Product Designer and MAKE blogger
- Dale Dougherty, MAKE, Editor and Publisher
Our panelists will choose their favorite American Maker in Chicago, and this maker will receive a $500 prize along with publication in an upcoming issue of Make magazine.

"CALL AT NIGHT," Isam tells me. "The reception for the phones here is not very good since they built the wall."
Isam lives in Adhamiya, a Sunni enclave in Baghdad that the US military has recently treated to its most-used counterinsurgency tactic – walls. In this case, a wall has been built around the neighborhood to prevent Shiite militias and police units that clashed with anti-occupation and anti-government guerillas in the area from getting in.
But it also makes it hard for the residents to get out, and makes it easy for police and militias to post spies at the neighborhood's single entrance/exit.
The apparent effect of the American surge has been to slow the "battle of Baghdad." Some Iraqis agree that if the US had not started building such walls and working with guerillas that had formerly been fighting it, the city would have been cleansed of minority Sunnis by now.
The explosion was close enough to shatter some of the windows in their house. My friend and his family didn't even flinch.
Once defiant, many Sunnis who supported open resistance toward the occupation find themselves wishing that the American military remains in the country, if only to prevent what would statistically be their undoing. A shortage of water and electricity in the city means different groups battle for control of both, along with more lucrative industries such as the oil infrastructure.
Political reconciliation between all sides appears, for the moment, unlikely. As Sunni politicians push for more representation in government, they are caught between Shiite militants and extremist Sunnis who are targeting them for cooperating to any extent with the US and Iraqi governments. Meanwhile, Baghdad is literally dying. The electricity and the water infrastructure are crumbling. Inflation – especially in fuel prices – runs rampant.
Since 2003, I've spent more than 20 months working in Iraq, less than three weeks of it embedded. On this trip and the last one, in 2006, I spent most of my time in Karrada, which until last year had been a "safe" neighborhood. Safe is a relative term. Home to a number of Shiite politicians, the neighborhood is now frequently attacked by car bombs, despite a heavy presence of Iraqi military and police. Kidnappings are not uncommon. US troops also patrol, and, along with Iraqi forces, are the targets of bomb attacks.
One such attack occurred while I sitting in a friend's living room. The explosion was close enough to shatter some of the windows in their house, enough to make me jump from the couch. My friend and his family didn't even flinch.
The bombing was followed a few minutes later by gunfire, said by residents to be clashes between the US military and the "Jeish al-Mehdi," the militia loyal to Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Both sides were apparently trying to secure the scene. The following day, as funerals began, residents threw rocks at the US military.
A week later, I attempted to visit the site of the bombing with an American cameraman. Angry residents who said they were still digging bodies from the rubble refused to let us film. An entire four-story apartment building had collapsed.
Predictably, the bomb makers are getting better at killing lots of people.
US soldiers we embedded with showed us videos of massive bombs capable of lifting an Abrams tank five feet in the air. Though the vehicle's heavy armor meant all that solders survived the blast, the casualties included one soldier who received brain damage from the blast wave. Captured bombs, made from 18-wheel trucks, are designed to focus the blast in one direction. I witnessed one such bomb, packed into a minibus, which managed to level two buildings more than 100 meters from the blast.
The bomb in Karrada had gone off at 6pm. It seemed impossible that only 25 people could have been killed.
After convincing a police officer to take us through the cordon – the area remained closed – the family members of victims said they were still digging people out. The first question they asked as they rose from a nearby funeral tent that had become a permanent fixture on the street was not what news agency we represented, but what country we were from. Angry men arguing about whether they should let us film the blast site surrounded us. The consensus, in the end, was that we should go.
Isam is a cameraman. We used to work together. We used to have coffee and talk. Now if he can see me he comes to visit in the hotel. For a while it was easier to meet in Jordan, but now he can't get into Jordan because the government is turning Iraqis away at the border. As many as 1 million Iraqis now live in Jordan, most of them illegally, making up about one-tenth of the population in a country that can barely provide for its own citizens.
In Falahat, north of Baghdad, one of the communities where Sunni tribal leaders have decided to work with the US against "al-Qaida," the tribal militiamen admitted they were as afraid of Sunni extremists as they were of the Shiite militias, which have grown in strength as hundreds of thousands of Shiites have been driven from their homes.
Falahat is one such place where the Shiites have been kicked out, and the militiamen said they feared the families that had been removed would return seeking revenge. "We are caught between al-Qaida and the Jeish al-Mehdi," said Sheikh Naji al-Zobaie, a Sunni tribal leader in the area.
Many of the families that had thrown their lot in with the US also appear to be interested in getting family members out of Iraqi and US custody and commonly request as much of the US commander in Falahat. The number of prisoners in US custody, about 75 percent of which are Sunni, has risen to more than 24,000 since the surge began. The number held in Iraqi prisons is higher, probably around 30,000.
The US troops that are here are doing a civil affairs mission for which they have not been trained and only began after three months of heavy fighting.
"Every time we came in here we were detaining people because we were getting hit all the time," said Army Sgt. Johnny Escamilla, stationed at nearby Camp Taji as he walked through the village pointing out places where his soldiers had been hit by bombs buried in the road and houses they had raided.
The major drawback is that the US military, especially in central Iraq, is working with some of the same tribes and insurgent groups that have driven hundreds of thousands of people, mostly Shiites, from their homes. One of the small bases Escamilla's men occupy in Falahat is, in fact, a home that belonged to a Shiite family that had been driven out with the rest of the village's Shiite minority before the Americans struck the truce.
Asked about whether he sees the plan to assist the "freedom fighters" as fueling further sectarian violence, Escamilla just shrugs. The most important thing is that his men are no longer being attacked.
"You have to start somewhere," he says.
Southern Iraq is faring little better than Baghdad. In Basra, Fadhila, a Sadrist offshoot, and the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council (SIIC), the US government's closest ally in Iraq – the two most powerful parties in the city – continue to fight and have brought governance to a halt while the Jeish al-Mehdi and gangs have taken control of the streets.
At the center of the struggle is the approximately $170 million yearly reconstruction budget allocated to the province, as well as control of the port and its oil exports. Fadhila's governor, Mohamed al-Waili, claims sole oversight over such projects. His detractors charge he's embezzled most of the money. He claimed "80 to 90 percent" of the planned reconstruction projects in the last year had been completed, but refused to show us any of them.
"It is not the first conspiracy I've faced against me," said al-Waili, who accuses Iran of funding and arming his opponents. "They [can't remove me] forcibly because we are stronger than they are."
Western journalists no longer work in Basra unembedded. We requested (and the governor's office agreed) to allow us to come to Basra to film for four days, but ended up spending most of the time sitting in the house of the governor's brother, watching TV. The governor was meanwhile holding meetings with opposition political leaders. We were not allowed outside the perimeter of the governor's heavily-armed compound without riding in heavily-guarded vehicles surrounded by police and military or in an armored police vehicle itself.
On the first night, we attempted to do man-on-the-street interviews in one of the markets in Basra with the aid of four soldiers flanking on either side and a number of un-uniformed guards. Shoppers ignored the scene, acting, oddly enough, as if nothing were out of the ordinary.
Me to man in ice cream parlor: "Who did you vote for?"
Man in ice cream parlor: "I'm not saying."
The governor blamed the lack of security on Sadr's Jeish al-Mehdi, which is also blamed for fighting across the south. SIIC governors rule most of southern provinces and have sought to downplay tensions. The party itself seeks to translate its current majority into the joining of all nine southern provinces into a semi-independent mini-state, modeled on Kurdish autonomy in the north.
Two of the governors loyal to SIIC were killed by powerful, well-placed car bombs in August, most likely by the increasingly militant Mehdi.
Saleh al-Obaidi, the spokesman for Sadr's political party Tayyera Sadrieen, explained why supporters of his party had clashed with Badr: "The Sadrieen in general focus on the people. The southern governorates are suffering more than Baghdad maybe, concerning the services and the economic situation. There were no tensions for 15 or 16 months (after the invasion), but, at the same time there were no services and no help from the governors of these provinces, so the people start to demonstrate and look and ask for something better. Unfortunately, the reaction from many governors was severe – they used guns and campaigns of detention against the people."
Al-Obaidi also said Sadrist leaders in Amarra had been assassinated by forces loyal to the governor. In Basra, British troops fully pulled out of the center of the city in August.
In the north, the US's Kurdish allies are growing increasingly impatient with the US military and government. The Sunni guerillas and tribes now working with the US have also driven Kurds from their homes, and the majority of the Kurdish population has fled Mosul, Iraq's second largest city.
But the real prize is Kirkuk. As the Iraqi government has dragged its feet on a referendum originally mandated by the end of this year, the Kurds have grown impatient with the US military's failure to secure the city.
"We cannot wait," said Noschirwan Mustafa, a founding member of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, the party of Jalal Talabani, the current president. "If they leave Kirkuk to us, we can control it."
"Control" almost certainly means ethnic cleansing. Various scenarios exist for how this would play out, but most observers fear Turkey would intervene. An independent and economically viable Kurdish statelet would threaten Iraq's small ethnic Turkish minority that resides mostly around Kirkuk and further embolden Turkish Kurd rebels that use northern Iraq as a base to fight the Turkish government. Mustafa, however, believes the US would once again betray its Kurdish allies to avoid angering the Turks. Tension between the PKK, the Kurdistan Worker's Party, and other groups is rising, and Iranian troops were recently reported to have crossed the border in pursuit of Iranian Kurdish guerillas whose attacks on police in western Iran have killed more than 200 (mostly police officers) since 2005.
F., an Iraqi friend and colleague whom I worked with in Baghdad and was now living in Damascus, needed to get to Jordan. He had been promised a job there. The only problem is that, despite extremely rare exceptions, Jordan has closed its borders to Iraqis. There are more than half a million Iraqis in Jordan already, and about 1.5 million in Syria.
Iraqis refer to it as "rent-a-whitey." In Baghdad, I used to do it for people when they had to deal with the American military. It was no secret that the US military would take an Iraqi accompanied by an American much more seriously than an Iraqi alone. (This included, at one point, walking toward a snipers' nest with my passport raised above my head, shouting, "I'm an American journalist.")
A year ago, this same principal applied on the Jordanian border. Though Jordan had already begun turning Iraqis away, there was still some flexibility, and I was able to get another colleague across. This time, there was no flexibility.
F. was not the only one. During the time we were at the border, none of the dozen Iraqis who tried to cross were accepted. No reason was given other than that they were "rejected."
After his passport was graced with a stamp informing him of his rejection, F. and I decided to argue anyway with the officer on duty.
"What is the problem?" F. asked. "Why won't you let us in? We are just people."
"Why don't you ask him?" the border official replied, looking at me. Many Jordanians blame Iraqis for not fighting for Saddam, and then not resisting the invasion and occupation. Therefore, the refugee problem is Iraqis' fault for allowing Saddam's government to be overthrown in the first place.
F. considered replying that the Jordanian government exists only because of support from the American government, but then thought better of further offending a security officer in a country in which he has no rights.
So I left F. there at the border and continued on to Amman. As we exited the final checkpoint at the border, one of the Jordanian soldiers, smirking, handed me back my passport and asked: "Why do you care about an Iraqi?"

Kitchen Prep & Bakery Application
2013 New Employee Application
2013 Returning Employee Application
2013 Wildflower Application
Applications should be sent to Caitlin's attention. Please submit applications by March 1, 2013.
Mail to: PO Box 6, Detroit Lakes, MN 56502
Email to: email@example.com
Fair Hills employs a seasonal staff of about 150 people to help run the resort from May-October.
Fair Hills hires 15 international students each summer. International students must have a J-1 Visa and apply through an agency to be accepted as an employee.
General Information:
Each employee plays an essential role at the resort. Each department works together to create a memorable experience for our guests. On average, each employee works about 35-45 hours per week. Schedules vary based on the nature of resort business. We serve our guests in some capacity from 6:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. each day. This requires flexibility among our staff. Fair Hills staff work hard and sometimes schedules can change with little to no warning. To maintain our strong family atmosphere, we do not allow any radical physical appearances at our resort, e.g., body and tongue piercings and tattoos that would be seen by small children. Our employees have a lot of fun, as they work with an energetic staff of over 100 people. Employees also meet many interesting people; the resort typically has 150-250 guests per week. Our employees provide a wonderful service to many people: Making their vacation and relaxation time very pleasurable and memorable (some of our guests have come to Fair Hills for over 50 years). Best of all, they work at a beautiful resort on a beautiful lake in Minnesota.
Room & Board:
We have room for about 30 staff to live at the resort (this is on a first come, first serve basis).We are required to withhold room & board from your paychecks if you live at the resort. The amount withheld is $12.00 per day. A $50 room deposit will be taken from your first paycheck. This deposit will be refunded to you on your last day provided your room passes inspection.
Compensation and Activity Money:
A few employees will be paid a monthly salary; this will be discussed with them individually. The majority of employees, however, will be paid an hourly base salary between $7.50/hour and $8/hour. The amount of your salary will depend upon your job and your relevant experience; returning employees may qualify for a pay increase. If the resort decides to extend an offer to you for summer employment, your contract will specify your rate of pay. Fair Hills Resort pays an hourly wage for activities you will participate in during the summer. These mostly include our entertainment features – The Hootenanny, Marching Band, and Talent shows. Typically it will be $5/ hour. It will include all practices and performances throughout the summer. The money you earn will be added to your last paycheck at the end of the summer.
Bonus: A bonus of .50 cents for every hour worked will be paid in December to all employees who are paid on an hourly basis, provided that they meet certain conditions, e.g., staying through their contract date, satisfactory work, etc. The bonus does not apply to short-term employees (less than 6 weeks or less than 300 hours), Wildflower employees (people working in ground maintenance or the pro shop), or "fall staff". The bonus is discussed in greater detail in the employee handbook that is mailed to everyone we hire.
Contact Caitlin at 800-323-2849 or email@example.com if you have any questions.

The best primer/base
This product is something that I would definitely recommend to anyone who is wanting to make their color stand out. It is so easy to use and works wonders on making your eye shadow really stand out. It works better than the high priced stuff and who can resist a good deal :) If you do not own this trust me you want to..!!!
Works amazing as an eyeshadow base. It makes the colors pop in such a beautiful way, I really recommend it.
NYX is an affordable makeup brand and you can pretty much find its products in any drugstore (or at least here in Mexico)
I loooove jumbo sticks like these. I have 3 shades so far and I intend to buy them all haha! The pigment is awesome, they set to a creamy looking finish but last very very long. It's so easy to grab the black and blend it into a 5 min smokey eye!
Using these under any color eyeshadow makes such a difference. You would not believe how many times I was going for a color that i just didn't have in my eyeshadow palettes and O sweet darling, the right color jumbo pencil will take a color eyeshadow and turn it into something spectacular when used as a base! Must haves! Yes!
Excellent under bright shadows
This pencil works wonderfully under bright shadows to make the colors really stand out and remain more true. The best part is, unlike many white pencils like this, this is not a frosted or sparkly shade but almost matte.
I do recommend using a primer under this as it can crease without one.

I love the jumbo eye pencils especially milk. They are creamy and very easy to work with. I love using them as a base for really bright shadows, they make the color stick on and not budge at all. But beware they crease, badly without a primer. Just be sure to use a primer under them and you're good to go! Awesome product NYX! :)
Beautiful pigmentation, but still susceptible to creasing
I have these in Yogurt, Cashmere, Pots & Pans, Milk, Black Bean, and Cottage Cheese. All of them are beautifully pigmented, except Cashmere and Pots & Pans, which come up a bit sheer.
I've seen gurus use these as an eyeshadow primer, which I tried before, but it is NOT a good idea for oily lids. Within a few minutes, all of my eye makeup creased. So I used an eye primer under the jumbo pencils, and it also creased within in hour.
All in all, these are great for people with non-super oily lids, unlike mine.
So useful!
I love these! I own almost every color and use them as bases for my eyeshadows to make my shadows really stick and pop! I love how I can change the colors of my eyeshadows by using different colored Jumbo Pencils underneath-- Milk makes my colors bold and bright, Black Bean makes them sultry and smokey, etc. I also use them when doing costume makeup--Pots and Pans made an excellent silver base for my Terminator look! The only cons I have for these are that they will crease significantly if you don't use a primer underneath. Other than that, they last all day and make your eyeshadows really stand out!
A quick tip: Ulta sells a sharpener that works excellently for them.

Pampered Pals: Music Cats and Dogs Love
by POPSUGAR Pets 3
More than 59 percent of you admit to leaving music on for your pets when you're away, but I just assume that means you leave on whatever new music you've been bumping. Apparently, there are albums specially designed for your pets like Music Dogs Love and Music Cats Love ($15). Both compilation CDs have more than an hour of "relaxing music mixed with soft nature sounds and short stories, creating a peaceful environment." They include bird noises and soothing sounds — the dog edition even features sonic sounds only canine ears can hear.

I wanna buy one for my dog, but I'm not sure.
Will it make her more relax? or Will she search for the sound and make her nervous?
Anybody ever tried this?

Eid al-Adha "Festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Eid" is a holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God.
Four thousand years ago, the valley of Mecca was a dry and uninhabited place. According to Islamic history, the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) was instructed to bring Hajar and their child Ismael to Arabia from the land of Canaan by God's command.
As Ibrahim made ready to return to the land of Canaan, Hajar asked him, "Who ordered you to leave us here"? When Ibrahim replied: "Allah"(God), Hajar said, "then Allah will not forget us; you can go". Although Ibrahim had left a large quantity of food and water with Hajar and Ismael, the supplies quickly ran out and within a few days the two were suffering from hunger and dehydration.
According to the story, a desperate Hajar ran up and down between two hills called Safa and Marwa seven times, trying to find water. Finally, she collapsed beside her baby Ismael and prayed to Allah for deliverance. Ismael struck his foot on the ground, causing a spring of water to gush forth from the earth. Other accounts have the angel Jibral (Gabriel) striking the earth and causing the spring to flow. With this secure water supply, they were not only able to provide for their own needs, but were also able to trade water with passing nomads for food and supplies. When the Prophet Ibrahim returned from Canaan to check on his family, he was amazed to see them running a profitable well.
The Prophet Ibrahim was told by God to build a shrine dedicated to him adjacent to Hajar's well (the Zamzam Well). Ibrahim and Ismael constructed a small stone structure–-the Kaaba–which was to be the gathering place for all who wished to strengthen their faith in Allah. As the years passed, Ismael was blessed with Prophethood and gave the nomads of the desert his message of surrender to Allah. After many centuries, Mecca became a thriving city and a major center for trade, thanks to its reliable water source, the well of Zamzam.
One of the main trials of Prophet Ibrahim's life was to face the command of Allah to devote his dearest possession, his only son. Upon hearing this command, he prepared to submit to Allah's's will. During this preparation, when Satan tempted Prophet Ibrahim and his family, Hajar and Ismael drove Satan away by throwing pebbles at him. To remember this rejection of Satan, stones are thrown during Hajj.
At the time of sacrifice, Ibrahim discovered a sheep died instead of Ismail, whom he hacked through neck. When Ibrahim was fully prepared to complete the sacrifice, Allah revealed to him that his "sacrifice" had already been fulfilled. Ibrahim had shown that his love for his Lord superseded all others: that he would lay down his own life or the lives of those dear to him in order to submit to God. Muslims commemorate this superior act of sacrifice during Eid al-Adha.

It looks like WoW may have finally jumped the shark, down 800k subscribers in the last three months, and over 1.7 million subscribers for the year. World of Warcraft's seventh anniversary coming up in just a couple of weeks, the giant among MMO's user base has hit a little bit of a free fall from its 11 million user peak.
With Mists of Pandaria announced, it is sure to bolster WoW's numbers on release, but until then, it looks like many users are jumping ship. It could be that they are tired of the grind, but my money is that they just wanted to save the $15 a month while they are sucked into Skyrim for the foreseeable future.
Are you a former WoW addict? Why did you cancel your subscription? Was it your successful wowaholics anonymous meetings, or are you just ready to move into something else after seven years?

Works like it should
By Eric

About Me Auto Enthusiast, Mechanic, Truck Enthusiast
These are inexpensive and work like they are supposed to, nothing to complain about at this price point. Their small design is nice for getting into tight areas. For mechanics that do fuel and/or A/C work everyday you'd probably want a more durable set made of aluminum as these will eventually split at the joint where they fold open but for casual use the plastic is just fine.
Not bad for the price
By BeninChesapeake
from Virginia
Okay, I know these are labeled as fuel line disconnects. And for fuel lines they work well. They are a little hard to put on the fuel line with one hand in a tight space. The only problem I've had so far was when I used these on those GM quick connect fittings on the heater hoses of my Silverado. The tool is a little too short to be good for those fittings. The Lisle set is the one I should have got in the beginning. But if you're only doing fuel lines, these will do the job, and you can't beat the price.

Former Chief of Corrections planning to sue county, sheriff DOCUMENT
The terminated Chief of Corrections at the Rensselaer County Jail has filed a notice of claim outlining her intention to sue the county and Sheriff Jack Mahar.
Ruth Vibert, in the notice, said she was hired with the understanding that she finish her associates degree and did enroll in the state Corrections Academy.
However, according to the notice, Mahar routinely told her to not focus on school and instead gave her other duties to focus on, including searching for a missing gun.
Mahar later used the fact she did not obtain an associate's degree as one reason for her termination, according to the notice.
Furthermore, on Feb. 15 Vibert said she got a phone call from Corrections Officer John Gorman telling her he received a phone call from Master Sgt. Tony Patricelli threatening his employment and physical violence.
A few days later, Gorman provided Vibert with a criminal complaint he filed with the State Police. Vibert claims Mahar then asked her to assist in firing Gorman. He also, according to the notice of claim, directed Vibert to shred any documents related to Gorman's complaints.
Her attorney, Elmer Keach, does not give a dollar amount in the notice but said he will file a lawsuit in federal court.

So when you're free from a dysfunctional marriage, you regain your single status back. What do you do? You shop for new clothing, am I right? Well, Katie Holmes is no different. She only does it Hollywood-style. She recently purchased 15 pairs of Louboutin heels!
Knowing Katie Holmes, who famously ditched her high heels and 'preferred' to wear flats or kitten heels in every appearance with her (not so tall) ex-husband, Tom Cruise, this might be her statement of "single and ready to mingle." Yes, I feel you Miss Holmes, wearing flats just to boost your spouse's ego all this time must have been really tiring.
Aside from the 15 pairs of sexy Louboutin heels, Holmes also spent about $14,200 on sexy lingerie. Wow, sounds like she has some plans!


text: Copying of the hereditary materials is a critical event inside the cell never-ending cycle. Throughout eukaryotes, copying root base tend to be acknowledged as well as certain using a six-subunit difficult known as ORC (Origins Recognizing Complex) (1-3). Cdc6 plus Cdt1 usually are hereafter hired at home to the people internet sites at the end of Mirielle or even beginning G1 period (A person, A few, 4), and then your employment associated with MCM2-7 complex in order to trigger Geonomics copying (5 various, Six). It's very important that this start associated with duplication from burning beginning will be securely controlled techniques it occurs only once in the mobile circuit. Mammalian skin cells have developed various components to avoid re-initiation plus subsequent re-replication involving DNA within the very same cell circuit. The kind of process is definitely the inactivation involving Cdt1 while in Vertisements and G2 development (Seven, 8). Soon after copying start, Cdt1 can be both restricted by a tiny protein termed Geminin (Nine, Ten) or even changed for the worse through a pair of particular E3 ligases : cdk-dependent SCFskp2 in addition to Cul4-DDB1cdt2 within Utes or G2/M period (Seven, 12). Deregulation of those trails through exhaustion connected with Geminin, Cul4 or perhaps Cdt2 stimulates (or maybe balances) Cdt1 and therefore causes Genetic re-replication in numerous solutions (8, 12-14). Studies have shown this cullin-RING ligases (CRLs), a new subclass regarding E3 ligases that has the two SCFskp2 and also CRL4Cdt2, are generally altered by a great ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8, which will hereafter facilitates their particular ligase things to do (15-18). Thus, from the modulation on this hobby, the actual NEDD8 path regulates this plethora involving CRL substrates. MLN4924, a potential cancers medication currently in cycle My partner and i clinical trials, is actually a tiny molecule inhibitor regarding NEDD8 switching on enzyme (NAE) (20, 20). MLN4924 treatment throughout HCT116 human being digestive tract cancer-derived cell brand prevents NAE, and therefore the NEDD8 conjugation walkway, resulting in an increase in protein prosperity of CRL substrates like Cdt1 (21 years of age). That is along with a rise in the proportion connected with cells comprising in excess of 4N Genetics, suggesting DNA re-replication ended up being manifesting. Cellular material cured with MLN4924 as well endure sizeable apoptosis leading to the particular drug's anti-proliferative action. A variety of CRL substrates participate in significant performs in mobile expansion and tactical walkways as well as question remained as that substrates are crucial for MLN4924 induced re-replication plus apoptosis. With this cardstock, all of us analyze no matter if Cdt1 is extremely important issue to the induction associated with Genetic re-replication around HCT116 solar cells treated with MLN4924. On the list of several methods for revitalizing Cdt1 initial, MLN4924 explains to you a new similarity to be able associated with Cdt2 exhaustion throughout inactivating this CRL4cdt2 E3 ligase, rather than Geminin lacking, which stimulates Cdt1 with a distinct route. Most of us tested that speculation in addition to discovered a new synergistic effect involving MLN4924 treatment and also Geminin reduction. Business visibility with tissues for you to MLN4924 led to Genetic make-up re-replication, in addition to account activation from the apoptosis in addition to senescence routes. This specific helped us to check no matter if a unique area of the mobile or portable never-ending cycle ended up being in particular prone or immune to MLN4924. Last but not least, we when compared to the particular sensitivity associated with wild-type (WT) HCT116 cells as well as isogenic p53?Per? or p21?Or? HCT116 cells to be able to MLN4924, and also discovered that WT HCT116 cellular material had been less prone to MLN4924 caused cellular death. The final results show that will p53-deficient most cancers cells may be a lot more understanding of MLN4924, highlighting this healing possibility with this type connected with investigational drugs.

Disciples of Divine Mercy |
St. Faustina was asked by Merciful Jesus to found a new religious order of sisters and brothers to give their lives interceding for mercy for the world and to do works of mercy in His name. As part of this intercession Jesus would grant mercy for sinners and bring people who had lost the faith to come back to Him and through this great work of intercession you would help save many souls. With the help of her spiritual director, Blessed Fr. Michael Sopocko, these new congregations were founded in Vilnius and flourish today interceding for the world and working in His name. St. Faustina was also asked by Jesus to find people who would become lay disciples in this important work and be park of these congregations in their own area. (Diary 1156) These Disciples would be a movement inspired by the spirituality of St. Faustina and Blessed Fr. Michael Sopocko in doing the work of spreading His Divine Mercy message of seeking intercession for the world through our deeds, words and prayers. It was not to become just a talking shop meeting once a month but must be an active working group to actually go out and spread the message and seek funds for works of mercy in His name. The inspiration for us to offer ourselves up to do this work for Jesus would be taken from frequent attendance at the Eucharistic Sacrifice, in which Jesus is constantly offering Himself up seeking Divine Mercy from the Father to us all. These lay disciples must aim to unite all of their prayers, work, difficulties and sufferings with the Sacrifice of Jesus. This would help them surrender completely to the Will of God, in all aspects of their lives. |

pauljordanjr Watched "The Sessions".Great film that shows love (sex) is even handicapable. However Helen Hunt's pubes and fake Boston accent are weird

PeterPragnell Watched 'The Sessions'. As well as the "she's naked for 90% of her screen time" thing, it's a beautiful, moving, life-enhancing film. #fb

Hey M Girls,
With exactly two weeks to go before Taylor Swift's next album, "RED" hits stores, Tay just released the full track list -- and all we can say is wow!
Check out the list of songs here:
1. State Of Grace
2. Red
3. Treacherous
4. I Knew You Were Trouble.
5. All Too Well
6. 22
7. I Almost Do
8. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
9. Stay Stay Stay
10. The Last Time
11. Holy Ground
12. Sad Beautiful Tragic
13. The Lucky One
14. Everything Has Changed
15. Starlight
16. Begin Again
While we've already heard "Red", "Begin Again" and of course, "Never Ever", we're so excited to hear them all! Plus, we can't help but notice that one of the tunes is called "The Lucky One" just like Zac Efron's flick. Coincidence? Guess we'll have to wait and hear -- LOL!
Let's dish:
-Which song from Taylor Swift's "RED" are you most excited to hear? Which song that you've heard so far is your fave?
