NEWS FROM THE 8th GRADE
No article was submitted this week, however, we do look forward to future articles.
As everyone may know, the 2010-2011 school year is winding down to an end. With this end comes a new graduating class. The Class of 2011 began a busy second semester of their senior year by filling out college applications and by also filing their FAFSA.
Another thing Seniors look forward to every spring semester is their Senior Prom. The set date for Prom this school year is April 9, almost a month earlier than the previous year making things seem like they are happening so much faster.
Being a Senior myself, it's hard to believe that so many deadlines are approaching. Seniors look back and remember wishing that they were graduating, and now it's here, it seems so unreal.
Our Senior Assembly is May 13. This is where we will practice walking for graduation and receive our scholarship awards and other awards we have obtained through high school.
The following day, May 14, is our high school graduation ceremony. Immediately following the ceremony they will bus the Seniors off to Project Graduation, which will begin at the Incredible Pizza Co. in Springfield, Missouri, and end with an overnight stay at the Ozark Community Center.
The next week, Seniors will return to school for three days, due to the make-up of snow days. The first day the Administration is allowing Seniors to use as a job shadowing day. The other two will be all Senior finals.
Second semester of your Senior year is probably the most stressful time of your entire high school career, but it is also the most memorable and rewarding.
- Casey
My senior year at Ava High School has been fun, yet challenging. I have been in FFA for four years and FFA has helped me advanced in public speaking, personal growth, and life goals. Being in Ag classes have kept me in school. Senior year is also stressful at times; trying to graduate high school, find a college and figure out how to pay for it. Some teachers help in everyway possible because they care about their students' futures. Some of the teachers that care are Mrs. Kauffman, Mr. Lakey, Mrs. Decker, and Ms. Lemmons.
I do feel we have some silly rules such as no off-campus food may be brought on school grounds, cannot be an officer in more than two clubs, and the attendance policy.
Easy blow-off classes, tons of FFA trips, and friends equal a great senior year. However, dumb rules dampen my senior year at Ava High School. Fortunately, I get out of school for tons of FFA stuff. I have easy classes that I like taking and nothing better to do than hang out with my friends. – Courtney
Being a senior is exciting/depressing because it is your last year with all your friends before you have to join the real world. If you make your schedule right, then you can get away with easy classes and you won't have to do anything. You can get away with basically everything because no one cares. The only difficult thing about being a senior is that if you are going to college is applying before all the deadlines. – Amy

When enthusiasts restore a car, they want the best parts available for their restoration. This includes the components found in the engine bay, and while painting your engine parts might look good at first, it has a tendency to age over time. Trans-Dapt, a division of Hedman Hedders, has released a series of engine dress-up components that feature a powder coated finish for a brighter, more durable luster.
Official Release:
Hedman/Trans-Dapt PerfectMatch Parts
There is no better way to improve the look of your engine bay than by replacing all of the old, beat up, or rusted metal accessories and covers. Whether you are performing a complete factory restoration or a stealthy Pro-Touring build, Trans-Dapt's PerfectMatch products give you the high-quality replacement parts with the show-stopping appearance you are looking for.
Helping to set PerfectMatch products apart from the competition is their powder coated finish. Paint can fade, crack, peel, or flake off, especially with the extreme heat found under the hood. Powder coating is stronger, lasts longer, and retains its brilliant luster much better over time. They are also easier to maintain than a chromed or polished piece as the powder coating doesn't require any special polishing or cleaning to maintain its looks.
PerfectMatch oil pans, water necks, engine pulleys, radiator support panels & bars, timing chain covers, valve covers, valve caps & breathers, alternator brackets, and air cleaners are available for a variety of GM and Ford applications. Available in Ford Blue and Chevy Orange, their colors match the original production factory pieces of these vehicles, with some of the GM applications available in Asphalt Black as well.
- Brightens up the engine bay
- Comes in various production colors for factory appearance
- Powder coating finish is stronger, last longer

Ellis is Day to Day with Lower Back Strain
By Marcus Thompson
Tuesday, November 9th, 2010 at 10:47 am in Uncategorized.
The results are in from guard Monta Ellis' examination. He had an X-Ray and CT scan and was diagnosed with a strained lower back.
He is leaving Toronto to rejoin the team today in New York. He is officially listed as day-to-day, which if accurate is a lot sooner than it appeared he would be out on Monday.
Ellis took a nasty spill late in the fourth quarter. He went up for a lay-up with two hands and, after colliding with a Raptors player in the air, landed awkwardly and wrenched his back.

Does your picnic turn into a swat-fest? Is your fishing trip a mosquito-infested nightmare? Then brace yourself for summer's sting.
Although most insects are just nuisances, some can threaten our health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that mosquitoes and ticks can be two of the most dangerous pests. Mosquitoes worldwide transmit diseases from malaria to dengue fever---two tropical illnesses that can show up in the United States because of changing travel and weather patterns. Mosquitoes also spread West Nile virus, which can become life-threatening in the elderly and chronically ill. And some ticks transmit Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
A single mosquito bite is no reason to panic. On the other hand, an infestation of cockroaches or fire ants is a serious problem. The first step is to find out what kind of bug is bugging you. Sometimes the solution involves using a pesticide. Other times, pesticides are either unnecessary or inappropriate. Take care with pesticides: pick the right one and follow the directions. Contact your state cooperative extension service to find reliable information.
These insects can transmit diseases ranging from malaria to West Nile virus, but most mosquitoes don't. Cases of West Nile virus have been reported in all areas of the United States and in Canada.
Dump standing water from old tires, flowerpots or birdbaths to eliminate breeding spots. Avoid exposure at twilight, when mosquitoes are most active.
Spray skin with a repellent containing DEET or Picaridin (KBR 3023).
Clothing can be sprayed with permethrin. Using a combination of DEET and permethrin works well. Follow directions with care. The CDC says an effective repellent will contain 30 to 50 percent DEET. Levels higher than 50 percent work no better.
If you're in dense brush, woods or fields from April through September, use tick repellent (DEET applied to the skin and clothing, along with permethrin applied to the clothes only) and wear long shirts and pants that fit tightly around wrists, waist and ankles. Check yourself at least twice daily; if you find a tick embedded in your skin, remove it with tweezers or with fingers covered with tissue paper, then wash your hands. Don't remove it with heat or other methods. Ticks carry many diseases, with Lyme disease the most widely known.

The justification of homeschooling vis-a-vis the european human rights system
The very idea of the European Convention on Human Rights is to bring the laws of contracting states into line with fundamental human rights principles. Where the Convention is not explicit, the Court should never rule restrictively so as to reduce the scope of a general right. In the case of homeschooling, the Convention sets forth the general principle that "the state shall respect the right of parents to ensure such education and teaching in conformity with their own religious and philosophical convictions." It must not, therefore, allow a contracting state to eliminate a means of achieving this desired by parents—unless the state can show that the means in question is ineffective.

Favourite historian?

Re: Favourite historian?(Original post by foxes-are-ginger)
Ronald Hutton's work is just brilliant. He just knows... everything [...] -
Re: Favourite historian?(Original post by evantej)
He is very odd mind! I did my masters degree at Bristol and spoke to him when he was giving a presentation on 'innovation in the arts'. I liked his honesty. -
Re: Favourite historian?(Original post by meenu89)
David Starkey. -
Re: Favourite historian?(Original post by blueconstellation)
Ooh, yes, I've been watching his Ascent of Money. -
Re: Favourite historian?Have you read the book? It's a fabulous study of the history of the financial world, particularly for someone (like myself, for instance) that lacks a background in economics.
Re: Favourite historian?(Original post by blueconstellation)
No, but it looks good. I might have a look after I've done my reading for my personal statement at the moment (for economic history ) -
Re: Favourite historian?(Original post by calum66222)
I quite like reading the boobs of both Max Hastings and Dee Brown. Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee is essential reading for everyone!
I'd like to add Moses Finley to the list since judging by previous entries (Sarkey, Gibbon, Holland etc) we're going for readably rather than actual academic weight, which is fair enough. Otherwise...probably Bosworth or Latacz tbh. -
Re: Favourite historian?(Original post by The Lyceum)
As a Classical Scholar and Ancient Historian I very much can say that "reading" boobs is indeed essential.
Re: Favourite historian?(Original post by Hewitt)
Neil Ferguson - He talk's a lot of sense.
Also, one gets the impression that when Ferguson is writing about Empire and western civilisation, he is writing not to explain to the reader what happened in the past, but to further his own political cause in the present, i.e. to encourage the USA to take a more proactive role in building its own empire. He is often one sided - opening Empire by explaining very simplistic and obviously moronic arguments against the view that the British Empire was good in order to imply that anyone who holds such a view is an idiot, ignoring all of the more sophisticated arguments against his own view.
In spite of his obvious intelligence, he also strikes me as very ignorant. He said in an interview with regards to the history of native American tribes that all we know is that 'they killed a hell of a lot of bison', and not a lot more, the implication being that their society is not worth studying and is certainly something that is inferior to the European culture that replaced it.

1. | hit the skids | ||
To rapidly slow down or stop a moving vehicle by mashing down the brake pedal. So named because of the tires skidding when done in a car without anti-lock brakes. Can also be used in a metaphorical sense, in which it means to halt whatever action or process is currently occurring. The police were waiting with a speed trap around the bend, so I hit the skids.

Oct. 10 trial date set for Ill. lawmaker's trial
WAUKEGAN – An Illinois lawmaker facing criminal damage and trespassing charges is scheduled to go on trial next week.
Lake County Assistant State's Attorney Don Tyer on Wednesday said an Oct. 10 trial date is set for state Sen. Suzi Schmidt.
The News Sun reported the charges against Schmidt stem from an alleged dispute with her neighbors in unincorporated Lake Villa. The Republican is accused of throwing boat oars from her neighbor's yard into a nearby marsh and of punching a hole in a bag of feed outside the neighbor's home.

Just found your beautiful blog. What a lovely vignette, with a great price tag.
What a great feeling!
Very pretty. I would never think to add to the flowers like you did.
My butterfly bush is not blossoming yet.
Oh very pretty! I love the purple and the accent pieces complete it. Love it!
Love the bouquet--you are so lucky to have things blooming! All my plants are fading and panting in our dry summer heat!
Great idea. I need to remember to bring some of the outdoor beauty inside.
So pretty! I aspire to have pretty little vignettes in my home, but with three busy children, ages 5, 4 & 3, it's a struggle some days.
Beautiful! Butterfly bushes are one of my favs because of all the various types of butterflies they attract. Cutting and bringing them into the house is such a lovely idea.

Sen. John Warner (R-VA) will introduce a resolution today "making clear that he does not support the President on increasing the troop levels in Iraq" and calling escalation "a mistake," CNN's Dana Bash reports. Warner's resolution will be cosponsored by Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Ben Nelson (D-NE).
Warner, the former Armed Services Committee chairman, is a "very influential voice when it comes to military matters," Bash reports, and until this fall had been "whole-heartedly behind the president and the war." His new resolution "certainly…is not going to sit well with the White House." Watch it:
Warner said last week that Congress must move swiftly to address President Bush's new strategy. "Each of us are pained by the casualties that we are taking. We cannot dither around on it." Warner's bill is viewed as a less confrontational alternative to the Iraq resolution backed by Sens. Joe Biden (D-DE), Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Carl Levin (D-MI).

Hi, for first thing, I would excuse me with you for my bad english
Maybe my question is a bit 'stupid but not being an expert on mysql and php, I wanted to ask if you can give me a tip.
Should I create a procedure that takes data (new products or quantities) from a database or text file (do not know yet) and imports them into the database to Zencart.
I wanted to know if I can directly access the database through the liaison duties or if php is better to use some other system passing through specific functions of Zencart.
I want to make a script that is run independently by Zencart however, then there would be no need to enter the admin panel to run but would be run as a common script directly from remote.
I should be doing is importing from databases that export from Zencart to turbolister and others but I'm finding great difficulty in finding some good soul who know give me just a few reassuring straight: (
Thank you.
P.S. If you don't understand this message, please tell me and I will try to rewrite the principal questions.

This weekend Baltimore's iconic building, the Bromo-Seltzer Arts Tower will host an open house of a number of artist's studios located in the fifteen story structure, as well as hourly tours of the clock room. The tours are free beginning Saturday at 1:00 p.m. through 5:00 p.m. Clock tours are limited and a signup sheet will be available in the lobby for tours beginning at 1:30 p.m. Since completion in 1911 the Bromo-Seltzer Tower has been a landmark in downtown Baltimore with it four-sided illuminated clock. The clock face has Bromo-Seltzer spelling out the popular headache remedy around the clock numbers.
Isaac E. Emerson, with a background in chemistry and pharmacy, developed an effervescent salt as a headache and pain remedy and dispensed it in his Baltimore drugstore. Within three years he incorporated the Emerson Drug Company and was manufacturing his product full-time. Part of his successful marketing was to build what would become an iconic structure on the Baltimore skyline. The tower, at the time of construction, was the tallest building in Baltimore and sported a 51-foot rotating replica of his blue bottle of Bromo-Seltzer.
The bottle was removed from the building in the mid 1930's because of its weight and the potential damage to the structure of the building. Nevertheless the famous blue bottle lives on in artful advertising and in people's bottle collections. The popularity of the product, advertised for headaches, disordered stomach and a cure for the hang-over, produced a number of ad campaigns in print, billboards, radio, song and television. It is fitting that the building has been converted to an Arts Tower by the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts.
Once touted to "cool the blood and brain, to quiet pulsing nerves and drive the clouds of care away, not to mention nervous prostration," the product is no longer manufactured. Owners of the patent, Tower Laboratories of Essex, Connecticut, told a Baltimore Sun reporter in a June 2, 2011 article that they were "not terribly successful in trying to reposition the brand."
Artists, architects, history buffs, and the curious are all invited to the open house, where works of art will also be available for sale and viewing. The open house begins February 16th from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The location of the clock tower is 21 S. Eutaw Street. There is plenty of parking nearby for a nominal fee. Other open houses are scheduled for select Saturdays in March, April, May and June.
For more information contact the Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower Manager at 443-874-3596.

In-form Phil Hughes holds key for South Australia on final day of Shield clash with Queensland
- October 03, 2012
South Australia will be relying on new recruit Phil Hughes on the final day of their Sheffield Shield match against Queensland after being set a massive victory target.
Queensland vs South Australia
SHEF - Gabba
1 October 2012 - Day 4, Session 1
South Australia 2nd Innings
Queensland won by 191 runs
Batsmen | Runs | Balls | 4s | 6s | SR |
G. Putland | 3 | 26 | 0 | 0 | 11.54 |
Chasing an unlikely 463 to win, Hughes ended day three unbeaten on 58 to take the Redbacks to 2-111 in their second innings at the Gabba.
Callum Ferguson is with Hughes at the crease on 31 not out.
It was the opener's second half-century of the match after being dismissed in the first over of the day for 95.
Looking as composed as he was during his first-innings knock, the left-hander was untroubled by the Queensland pace attack to further suggest the work spent refining his technique over the off-season has borne fruit.
"There are a couple of things I have tinkered with - I'm not going to lie - but I'm not going to talk about those things,'' Hughes said.
"When you have been putting hours in behind the scenes to score runs in the middle where it counts is a pleasing thing.
Queensland wicketkeeper Chris Hartley, who scored an impressive unbeaten 103 earlier in the day, believes Hughes has added variety to his game.
"He's playing the pull shot a lot more which I reckon is a great idea because he's only a short fella and he's going to get a lot of balls up around the chest and neck area,'' Hartley said.
"If the ball is in on his body, rather than try to fend it ... the fact he is playing (the pull) gives him a way to combat that."
Earlier, Hartley's seventh first-class century saved the Bulls from a precarious position.
Coming to the wicket after lunch with the score at 5-64, the gloveman hit his second successive ton at Shield level following his hundred in last season's final against Tasmania.
James Hopes (42) and Ben Cutting (33) also made solid contributions before the Bulls prompted an early tea by declaring on 8-248 when Hartley reached his milestone.
Prior to the lower middle order firing, South Australia's inexperienced bowling attack opened up the game.
Chadd Sayers (3-66) bowled opener Andrew Robinson for a duck and later took the wickets of Peter Forrest (five) and Joe Burns (0) in consecutive deliveries.
Usman Khawaja (20) nicked behind to Joe Mennie (3-74) after looking in good touch and the paceman dismissed Wade Townsend (21) on the stroke of lunch.
Nathan Lyon continued his disappointing performance to end with match figures of 2-128 from 27 overs as he looks to be selected for the first Test against South Africa in Brisbane on November 9.
After resuming on 7-164, the Redbacks' first innings only lasted 9.1 overs on Wednesday as they collapsed to 184 all out.
Hughes fell without adding to his overnight score, nudging the second ball of the day from Hopes to Forrest at first slip. Hopes ended the innings with figures of 5-27.
Follow the action. Like Fox Sports.

Any danger of adjusting the brightness on the QLD v SA stream? Looks like it's being played at midnight
Paul of Wyong says October 02, 2012 at 5:21 PM
Poor Phil Hughes. He could be dragging the chain for the Redbacks. Great knock from Cutting.
Al says October 02, 2012 at 6:32 PM
To all you nah sayers about Hughes just another day of hiding under the rug , and on a green deck, i hope he gets his 100 as he deserves it he played very well against one of the best bowling attacks going round, we havnt seen the last of this man for oz he and players like Uzzy, Forrest and co are the future we as as true oz fans need to stop bagging these potential cricketers .
bikr of india says October 02, 2012 at 6:33 PM
great to see philips huges back in form play very well in difficult batting conditions i think this is huges 22 domestic ton at the age of 23 huges is next australia great test batsman with khawaja
Reds Fan of of Townsville says October 03, 2012 at 10:45 AM
ben cutting to bat at 3 for australia !
Cmac of QLD says October 03, 2012 at 10:54 AM
unlucky for Hughesy! i hope he gets back in the aussie side when the opportunity comes for replacement players
Dave the Realist of Adelaide says October 03, 2012 at 11:09 AM
Bikr of india. I think you have to get to 100 to get a ton...While he played well yesterday Hughes showed his true 'openor' status by getting out 2nd ball of the day to a plodder in James Hopes.
The Don of Unit 99.7 says October 03, 2012 at 12:54 PM
sorry bikr you went of a little early hughes got out for 95, god knock but tll fell short of a century
SportsFan of Newcastle says October 03, 2012 at 1:27 PM
HAHAHA Al you are a genius!! Do you ever get anything right on here? Also i'm assuming your related to Hughes and that other chap that fills this forum with garbage "Lewis of Macksville". You just talk him up all the time! Hughes is a very good state player but just face it mate. He is not cut out for test cricket. I have no doubt he will boast a huge total of runs this season in state cricket which will be largely due to him playing half his games in Adelaide, the best batting pitch in the southern Hemisphere!
Andrew of Mackay says October 03, 2012 at 2:25 PMDid you want to make a comment? Use our form below
Mick: I suspect that's because it's been heavily overcast at the ground for most of the game. Also, am I the only one who can't get the sound to work?
the cricket guru of sydney says October 03, 2012 at 7:04 PM
Good effort from Hughes and Khawaja in this game ,Hughes with runs in both innings in early season conditions at the Gabba is impressive ,however both players have just returned from a full county season so both should be in reasonable form against first up attacks.Aside from Cutting both sides bowling attacks are not very strong.NSW supporters can look forward to a very successful year and although the Vics batting is light they have the bowlers that can bowl teams out twice.
Bongers of BrisVegas says October 03, 2012 at 10:29 PM
Flatdeck Hughes may make it to lunch Thursday but the mighty Bulls will get their man ......... and then the rest will fall like ten pins. Go the Qlders for a terrific start in defending their flag.
Streaming sucks of SE QLD says October 03, 2012 at 10:46 PM
there wasn't a cloud in the sky in Brisbane today ...
Darren (Deadbacks WTF?) of Flinders Park says October 03, 2012 at 10:51 PM
A different year but same old deadbacks fold like a deck of cards. 'Phil Hughes holds the key....' isn't that the problem for SA cricket. Why should one player hold the key? SA need 11 players to perform to win a game of cricket not one man. If Hopes' medium pacers are causing problems then I don't have too much faith for future success when they face the faster bowlers in future. Is SA's pace attack that good that they can afford to leave George out???????
The Clog says October 04, 2012 at 10:22 AM
@ 2 mate I think you are a bit ahead of yourself as per usual. Hughes has played very well on a moving deck and has been the lone ranger for the redbacks. Rest assure Usman is a far superior talent. Credit where credit is due re Hughes. BTW you may want to see what mockers means before you shoot off at the mouth again you turnstile.
bobbyboytard of Brisbane says October 04, 2012 at 5:54 PM
simple ?whom was the highest run scorer on the gabba in the game ? what where the 2 bowling line ups?how did they stack up against one another?

Public Opinion and the War in Afghanistan
As any observer of American politics knows, the U.S. is particularly polarized along ideological and partisan lines. Issues ranging from marriage equality to tax policy divide the American people. Many Democrats believe the Republican Party is dominated by radical extremists, while many Republicans view the Democratic President as a dangerous socialist. In this environment, the American people cannot be expected to agree upon much, so when fully 69% of respondents in a public opinion poll agree on an important issue it is noteworthy. It is also something to which policy makers should pay attention.
According to recent public opinion research 69% of the American people want the U.S. to end the war in Afghanistan. This number has probably been bolstered in recent weeks by the Koran burning incident and the killing of 17 Afghan civilians by Robert Bate which have both engendered backlashes against Americans serving in Afghanistan and drawn attention to what many perceive to be the futility of the the U.S. effort there. While these events have reduced support for the war among Americans, the war has not enjoyed the support of the majority of Americans for months.
It should not be axiomatic that if the American people, by a margin of greater than two to one disapprove of a war, than the U.S. should end that war. However, if public opinion runs that strongly against a war, or any foreign policy, the U.S. government should have a clear, compelling and realistic rationale for pursuing that policy. Unfortunately, no such rationale exists for the war in Afghanistan. After more than a decade of war, and despite some significant accomplishments, most notably the killing of Osama Bin Laden, victory in Afghanistan remains poorly defined and elusive.
Increasingly, it seems like the continuation of the war in Afghanistan is a triumph of inertia and bureaucratic logic over national interest, public opinion or a clear headed assessment of the war itself. For several years now the conflict in Afghanistan has been deadlocked with every month bringing a few steps forward and roughly the same number of steps back. During these years where the U.S. has not been gaining any clear advantage in Afghanistan the cost in life and treasure has kept piling up.
It is now clear that in addition to the financial and military reasons why winding down the war is a good idea, there are political incentives as well. Ending the war is now good politics; and the candidate or party that figures this out first will pick up an edge as the 2012 election approaches. It is unlikely, however, that either Romney or Obama will exploit this political opening. Obama is already very closely identified with the war; and Romney is seeking to demonstrate his conservative credentials by seeking to embrace a hawkish foreign policy.
The costs of ending the war in Afghanistan have been clear for a while and include the potential of a return of the Taliban there, the possibility that Afghanistan will reemerge as a hub of international terrorist activity and the dire human rights consequences, particularly for women, which could occur in Afghanistan if the U.S. were to leave. These consequences, while real, only tell half of the story. The other half of the story, which is increasingly important for ordinary Americans, is the near certainty of a rising cost, more American soldiers losing their lives, attacks on Americans working in Afghanistan and the seeming impossibility of the U.S. bringing any lasting peace, democracy or even stability to Afghanistan. Foreign policy, like all policy, should not be made on a simple basis of majority rule, but when the majority is so strongly against a war, and the arguments for that war are so shopworn and implausible, it is probably time to get out.

RMT Firmly Opposes Suspension Of Transfers Into TfL Pension Fund
Submitted by Peter2 on 10 May, 2013 - 03:39We welcome the resolution from our London Transport Regional Council, and share its firm opposition to the TfL Pension Fund suspending transfers into the fund. This decision threatens the stability of the Fund and removes important rights from some of our members.
We also agree that 'suspending' a rule for six years is an undemocratic manoeuvre to avoid the process of changing the rules.
RMT Members Agree All Workers Under TfL Umbrella Should Be Admitted To Superior TfL Pension Scheme
Submitted by Peter2 on 10 May, 2013 - 03:36We note the report, which clearly illustrates the benefits of membership of the TfL Pension Fund as opposed to inferior, defined-contribution pension schemes that have been established by many employers operating under contract or franchise from TfL.
We note that:
- Many companies now offer pension schemes that are significantly inferior to the TfL Fund.
- Many of the workers concerned - eg. cleaners, canteen staff - would have worked for TfL (or its
predecessor, London Transport) had they been employed prior to contracting-out, so would have been
members of the TfL Fund.
Tube Bosses Refuse To Uphold "No Compulsory Redundancies" Agreement
Submitted by admin on 19 April, 2013 - 03:49We note the report from our lead officer.
We deplore the stated intention of the employer to refuse to:
- allow transferring staff to join the TfL Pension Scheme;
- uphold the settlement of the 2001 PPP dispute which includes 'no compulsory redundancies' and explicitly applies to all employees and all future employers; and
- recognise RMT in departments into which our members are transferring
In accordance with the request of our lead officer, we instruct the General Secretary to obtain legal advice on these matters, to uphold the rights of our members.
Plan To Block Transferred Workers From Pension Scheme Will Be Resisited
Submitted by admin on 23 March, 2013 - 01:38We note the report from our lead officer. While welcoming the reintegration of some Tube Lines staff into LUL and TfL, we are disappointed that some will remain in Tube Lines, and appalled that the companies plan not to allow transferring staff to join the TfL Pension Scheme.
This is an attack not just on these members' rights but on the security of the pensions of all other staff.
We instruct the General Secretary to obtain a report on how we might progress our fight over this issue, and to place it in front of us within 14 days.
Tube Lines Newsletter: Pensions Latest
Submitted by admin on 19 March, 2013 - 04:26'Reintegration' brings new threat to pensions and conditions
RMT has slammed plans to transfer some Tube Lines clerical and project staff back in-house to TfL and London Underground without pension or travel facilities, and has threatened industrial action to defend the terms and conditions of its members.
RMT Slams Tube Bosses Two-tier Workforce Plans
Submitted by admin on 17 March, 2013 - 20:02Tube union RMT has slammed plans to transfer some Tube Lines clerical and project staff back in-house to London Underground without pension or travel facilities and has threatened industrial action to defend the terms and conditions of its members.
RMT general secretary Bob Crow said that while proposals to re-integrate some staff into LUL may sound positive after the long-running PPP Tube privatisation fiasco, the 700 or so staff involved would not be allowed to join the TfL pension fund.
Tube Lines Strike Suspended For Meetings On Pension & Travel Equality
Submitted by admin on 27 February, 2013 - 15:02We note the report of our representatives' meeting, and further note that a meeting with the employer is due to take place on 8 March regarding our demands for travel equality, and a further meeting towards the end of March regarding our demand for pensions equality.
Tube Lines Strike Suspended
Submitted by admin on 13 February, 2013 - 05:59We note the report on file from our lead officer and in line with the unanimous view of our Company
Council representatives, we instruct the General Secretary to suspend the industrial action (strike and
overtime ban) due to start on Friday 15 February.
We note that Tube Lines is to cost our demands for pension and travel equality by the end of March.
Joint Union Statement Calls For Tube Lines Pensions Parity
Submitted by admin on 2 February, 2013 - 01:56We note the response to the joint statement from all four trade unions advocating that all Tube Lines employees be allowed to join the TfL Pension Scheme. While we are pursuing our demand for pensions equality through a dispute and negotiations with Tube Lines, we believe that it is valid for the Working Group to support our position based on the strength of the Scheme and affordability, and instruct the General Secretary to reply accordingly.
RMT Concerned About Pension Contribution Levels For New Tube Drivers'
Submitted by admin on 27 February, 2013 - 14:57We note with concern the correspondence from our Bakerloo branch that recently-recruited drivers did not have their pension contributions adjusted to the correct level until the first pay period of 2013 despite being in their new grade for many months.
We remind London Underground Ltd that the TFL Pension Fund rules are clear, and that a driver member is entitled to accrue his/her pension as a driver from the date of his/her appointment as a driver.

Addis Ababa, September 19 (WIC) - Acting Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn met Sudan's Defense Minister, Abdelrahim Mohamed Hussein and a delegation of the Sudanese officials taking part in the AU mediated talks between Sudan and South Sudan on 18 September 18, 2012.
The two sides discussed ways to strengthen bilateral ties and the ongoing peace talks and the Minister congratulated the acting premier on his election as EPRDF chairman.
He expressed his government's hopes that Ethiopia's new leadership will continue to lend its good offices to the peace talks between Sudan and South Sudan.
He urged the new leadership to follow in the footsteps of the late Prime Minister Meles Zenawi who had played a remarkable role in the signing of the CPA and the ongoing post-independence negotiations.
The Minister and the Chief Negotiator of Sudan, Idriss Abdul Gadir, briefed the acting premier on the progress of the achievements and the continuing problems.
The Chief Negotiator said agreements had been reached on almost all matters pertaining to oil and national debt issues. On security issues, however, there were differences over the temporary map submitted by the AU High Level Implementation Panel.
The chief negotiator reiterated the importance of resolving security as the basis for all other agreements. The delegation briefed the acting premier on the proposal submitted by Sudan to overcome the problems over security.
Hailemariam emphasized that Ethiopia would strongly continue to support the peace talks, and maintain its neutral and principled support to the two brotherly countries' effort towards resolving their dispute.
He also stressed the importance of abiding by the decision of the Security Council to resolve security issues, and promised Ethiopia would also discuss Sudan's proposal to narrow down differences and help the negotiations forward with South Sudan.

While flower shops are plentiful in cities across the world, a new flower shop in Iraq's arid city of Basra is the city's first, selling fresh cut flowers imported from Holland.
As the poverty stricken city enjoys an economic upturn, shop owner Murtatha Hassan decided to open his venture to give locals a taste of something different.
"There is a large turnout from people because they are surprised by a shop selling fresh flowers in Basra," Hassan told Reuters TV.
"It's a new and fresh idea for Basra. Young people are the ones who most frequent the shop, as well as physicians, companies and hotels," he added.
But frequent power outages and high cost of transportation are a constant challenge for the young entrepreneur, who said these forces him to charge a high price for the flowers.
The price of a bouquet of flowers at Hassan's shop ranges from 60,000 Iraqi dinar (nearly $52) to 150,000 Iraqi dinar (nearly $129).
"People are surprised by the price, but it's because they are costly. In most countries, flowers are cheap, but here they are expensive," he explained.
"It is because of the cost incurred in transportation and in maintaining the fridge, which makes the price high. In other countries, the government handles the transport to the shop, so shop owners do not incur the cost, but here, I have to pay for the fridge and power."
Basra, a southern city that used to be called "The Venice of the Middle East" because of its criss-crossed canals, now has the canals looking like filthy pools, with stagnant water filled with heaps of rubbish.
Roads are damaged and only a few hours of electricity are provided every day.
Years of war and sanctions have left Iraq with a shattered infrastructure and most of Iraqis are forced to improvise to guarantee themselves a proper supply of electricity.
Hassan pays 750,000 Iraqi dinar ($645) for a neighborhood generator to guarantee around the clock power in order to keep his flowers alive in special refrigerators.
"If power is supplied adequately and the shop rent is affordable, the price of the flowers would be cheaper than it is now," he said.
Unemployment was the driving force behind Hassan's undertaking of this venture to provide himself a decent living.
"There are no jobs in Basra and the government does not support young people, like help them start small businesses."
"As young people, this is what we can do to help with our income and living standards and to somehow have a normal life, so that's why I went in this direction and opened this flower shop," he added.
He said since starting the business, he has gradually seen growth, mostly due to the current economic boom in Basra.
"People are looking for something new and they always come to us."
Basra is Iraq's oil hub and is considered the most attractive destination for foreign investors. Yet little of the oil wealth has trickled down to the local residents.

14th of Feb… Is it all a fib?
Today marks the 8th anniversary of the 'Meethaq' or National Action Charter where 98.4% of 'Bahrainis' voted in a referendum for democratic reform and making Bahrain into a constitutional monarchy with a two council system (Representatives and Shuraa)
Columns of praise and satisfaction came flooding from all directions, local and international organisations were full of hope that reform have finally hit these tiny shores…
That we gain the right to vote…
That we can protest, express our opinions without fear and fight for our rights peacefully…
Find and punish those who are corrupted and wish to ruin our beloved country through greed and inciting hatred…
Help spread the wealth fairly to all the people of Bahrain…
To help build an educated, motivated and bright society whose only aim is to make Bahrain a better place draw foreign investment in like paperclips to a magnet…
… and basically live happily ever after…
Eight years on, and it seems that rather than taking a few steps forward we've backflipped backwards several times!
People vote… only to get their votes drowned out by illegal balloting, political nationalising and well… candidates who are basically dimwits!
People protest and express their opinions… only to be left unheard by the government, and be called un-Bahraini and greeted by tear gas and being clubbed by foreign 'Bahrainis'… and in the case of websites, get blocked by a swipe of a pen.
Corruption and proof by the hundreds of pages were discovered… but only to be buried and banned to be called by name and instead journalists,bloggers and people in general use other words which translate into English as 'sexy' (مثير) and 'beet' (شمندر)
The wealth grew in strides,leaps and bounds but the people only received BD600 trickled over 12 months in one year (where thousands had to cue and beg) while hundreds of square kilometres of land were reclaimed, depriving fisherman from all four corners of Bahrain of their source of food and income, and 'gifted' to an exclusive few…
The children of Bahrain all complete their Basic education (100%) and all aspire to enter university and get jobs.. only for the government to help these bright Bahrainis after graduating, get jobs outside Bahrain and ship in foreign and incompetent 'Bahrainis' to fill in hundreds of government jobs in ministries and in both the BDF (Bahrain Defense Force) and Interior ministries…
This is not what Bahrain voted for.. This is not what we pictured our lives be in a 'democratic' country where the law is fair and is abided by all as equals..
Wake up and smell the roses! And don't think of putting down that rose on the tombstone that reads 'Here lies Democracy in Bahrain- Passed before birth'
Our silence will keep this democracy in its coma and eventually pulls it plug!
I never knew that St. Valentine's Day could be such a bitch and heartbreaking!

on the spot ya3goob.
no wonder the people don't trust the government anymore as they failed to keep most of their promises, but hey, don't forget according to Bahrain's Strategy 2030 salaries will be doubled by then :/
well said my fried, well said.
after 8 years of investigations we did not see one, not ONE guy go to jail!
Fuck u man
it is always the poor who complain and i hate to burst ur bubble but poverty exists all around the world not in just in Bahrain!
And ur a poor bitch who wants money but will never get it cuz "hakooomah" isn't a bank that fills ur pocket with cash.
there are rich people who happen not to be part of the government called "business men"

This is a long, involved project that I have finally gotten around to asking for serious assistance with. The full scope of the project is to create PC stats for races from the video game Golden Sun. This has been worked on before, but a lot has changed in 4E since then. The total project, as I currently estimate it, is seven new races (out of a total ten in the game world) and four new themes. What follows is step one. Proxan Ability Score: +2 Charisma, +2 Strength or Dexterity Djinn Strike The people of ancient Prox were punished by the gods for their power and arrogance in the use of Alchemy. Their descendants now live in an ice blasted city verging on annihilation. Though the old grandeur and power of Alchemy has faded from the world, proxans maintain the traditions of fire magic with the hope that one day they will force back their oncoming doom. Play a proxan if you want... * to be a violent warrior with a fiery temper. * to be a rugged survivor from the arctic wastes. * to be a member of a race that favors the barbarian, sorcerer, and assassin classes. Physical Qualities While roughly the same height and weight, proxans stand in stark contrast from humans due to their brilliant coloration. Their skin tones are various pastel colors with occasional darker streaks, and their hair is typically a bold primary or secondary color. They also have patches of scales spread across their bodies, most notably the shoulders. It is this, as well as their affinity for fire that lead many to speculate that proxans are descended from dragons. Proxan skin is warm to the touch, a byproduct of their enduring allegiance to the power of fire. As a result, they can withstand the bitter cold of their homeland and even wear clothing other races would consider summer attire. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feats Proxan Reaper Training Proxan Staff Reaper Proxan Rod Reaper Rage and Terror Fury of the Mars Clan Wildfire Rage Light the Beacon Bitter Resentment Paragon Tier Djinn Leech Prime the Fire Epic Tier Djinn Drain Warrior's Scales --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mars Dragoon "Bring it on, whelp! You won't live long enough to regret your stupidity!" Prerequisites: Proxan Consigned to slow destruction for the heresies of its ancestors, the Mars Clan nurses a grudge centuries old. That anger and power meet at a fire-tempered point in the Mars Dragoon. Mars Dragoon Path Features Light of Mars (11th Level): You gain resistance to cold equal to ½ your level. You gain a bonus to damage rolls equal to the number of damage dice. Proxan Raging Action (11th Level): When you spend an action point, until the end of your next turn, enemies that hit you with melee attacks take fire damage equal to your highest ability modifier. Flashpoint (16th Level): When you score a critical hit, the target and all enemies adjacent to it take additional fire damage equal to your highest ability modifier. Mars Dragoon Psynergy Djinn Blast Mars Dragoon Attack 11 Fever Heat Mars Dragoon Utility 12 Djinn Storm Mars Dragoon Attack 20 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Design concerns: The name of the power Djinn Strike refers to a part of the game universe that I have not explained in this short race description. I am worried that this will cause confusion, especially between Golden Sun djinn and 4E Monster Manual djinn. Mechanically, I wonder whether Djinn Strike is appropriately powerful. I know weakened is frowned upon, but I'm not sure how -1 attack and defense compares to weakened. Per Fireclave's guide, Heart of Flame is a major ability and a minor ability put together. +1 to defenses vs. cold is a big deal; +1 saves and checks- not so much. I may have underdone it on the major ability as (again) I'm not sure how +1 defense measures up to resist 5 + 1/2 level. Proxan Reaper Training and Proxan Reaper Mage: Proxans really like using scythes; I don't know why, but I figured I should include it. I brought this up earlier on the board, and I took the advice to make the first feat available to other races. The two of these together are very nice for paladins, swordmages, and anyone else with both weapon and implement powers. I believe the biggest thing this does is give avengers, clerics, and paladins access to Staff of Ruin on top of a very nice two-handed weapon. More racial feats added. Bitter Resentment: d10 is a significant upgrade over d6, but warlock powers that do fire damage are a bit hard to come by. Granted, Hellish Rebuke is at-will, but it's also a Con primary attack. If anyone wants to discuss the origins of these abilities in Golden Sun canon, I'm up for that.
The problem is that you're light on features.
That cold defense stuff is very narrow, and rather weak, consider replacing it with Resistance to fire and cold 5 + 1/2 level. The deva also run light on features, but they get two energy resistances to make up for it.

CD/LP/Track Review
Endlessmiles: A Tribute to Miles Davis
A well–formed program of contemporary Jazz (for the most part anyway), presented for a good cause as well. A part of the net proceeds from Endlessmiles, recorded by a number of all–star groups at New York City's Birdland on May 26, 1998 — the 72nd anniversary of the late trumpeter's birth — will be used to help establish an endowment for young musicians, the MilesDavis.com scholarship, to be administered by the International Association of Jazz Educators (IAJE). Two of the eight songs ("So What," "No Blues") were written by Miles while the others were given the singular Davis treatment at some point in his long and storied career. Especially rewarding is George Coleman's warmhearted and provocative interpretation of Rodgers and Hart's "My Funny Valentine," accompanied only by pianist Harold Mabern, which closes the concert. Mabern also comps on "So What" and "Walkin'," Geri Allen on "Nefertiti," "No Blues" and "The Sorcerer," Adam Holzman (who uses electric piano and synthesizer) on two of the more adventurous (and least appetizing) selections, "In a Silent Way" and "Tutu." This is, of course, one reviewer's opinion; others may prefer them to the more accessible but less "profound" implications of "So What," "No Blues," "Walkin'" and the rest. Among the soloists, Mabern and Allen are standouts, trumpeter Brecker fares well on "Walkin'," Coleman is superb on "Valentine" but unimpressive on "So What," brothers Wallace and Antoine Roney expend considerable energy without generating much heat on "Nefertiti" or "The Sorcerer," Berg is largely wasted, and Dave Liebman plays about as "inside" as you'll ever hear him on "No Blues" and "Walkin'" (which nevertheless, in his nonconformist hands, sounds more like "squawkin'"). An earnest albeit uneven homage to the legendary MDD who would probably have been pleased by its on–the–edge ambiance.
Track listing: So What; Nefertiti; Walkin'; In a Silent Way; No Blues; The Sorcerer; Tutu; My Funny Valentine (69:17).
Collective personnel: Don Alias, Geri Allen, Bob Berg, Randy Brecker, Mino Cinelu, Jimmy Cobb, George Coleman, Foley, Al Foster, Adam Holzman, Robert Irving III, Dave Liebman, Harold Mabern, Gary Peacock, Antoine Roney, Wallace Roney, Lenny White, Buster Williams.

Honeyed Apricot, Oat and Walnut Cookies (Biscuits)
Some days you just want a cookie . . . or biscuit as they are called over here. That inner child in you just crys out for something sweet . . . something which feels like a reward.
A tasty treat that is equally at home with a glass of cold milk . . . or with a cup of something hot, for dunking . . .
Something comfortable and comforting. It doesn't even have to be chocolate . . . in fact there are days when chocolate just doesn't cut it . . . you want something more . . . something homey . . . with just a touch of sophistication . . .
Something which wraps you up in a nice warm hug like a loving Grandmother's cuddles and kisses always did . . .
Something which feels indulgent and yet at the same time wholesome . . . we don't always want to feel totally naughty . . . sometimes we just want to be a tiny bit naughty . . .
These lovely oaty moreishly wholesome biscuits fit the bill on all counts . . . they are the type of old fashioned treats that your Nana might have baked . . . and maybe she did.
Chock full of rolled oats, toasted walnuts, chunks of apricot and gently sweetened with creamy honey . . . these are biscuits to come home to . . . biscuits you want to sink your teeth into and then just float away on a sea of remembrance of honey comforts and a gentler . . . kinder time.
Simple and wonderfully, wholesomely, indulgently satsifying . . . can you feel the love?
*Honeyed Apricot, Oat and Walnut Cookies (Biscuits)*
Makes 4 dozen
Printable Recipe
Soft and golden, and studded with toasted walnuts and bits of dried apricot.
170g of butter, softened (3/4 cup)
96g of granulated sugar (1/2 cup)
2 tsp finely grated orange zest (optional)
170g of creamed honey (1/2 cup)
1 large free range egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp orange extract
160g of old fashioned rolled oats (2 cups)
125g of plain flour (1 1/4 cups)
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp salt
60g of toasted chopped walnuts (1/2 cup)
75g of chopped dried apricots (1/2 cup)
For the optional glaze:
125g of icing sugar, sifted (1 cup)
whole milk
1/2 tsp orange extract
Preheat the oven to 180*C/350*F/ gas mark 4. Line several baking sheets with baking paper. Butter the baking paper.
Rub the sugar and orange zest together if using, until you can smell the orange. Cream the sugar, honey and the butter together until light and fluffy. Beat in the extracts and the egg. Stir together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add this to the creamed mixture along with the oats. Mix together well. Stir in the nuts and the apricots. Mix well.
Drop by the tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheets, at least one inch apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Scoop off the cookie sheet onto wire racks to cool. Once cool, whisk the drizzle ingredients together until smooth and dribble the resulting glaze in a decorative manner over the tops. Store in an airtight container.

I love Raja, but I am seriously tired of her appropriating Native culture. It's not funny to me anymore as a Native American. I don't care if she's a drag queen and it's supposed to be "funny". It's really starting to bother me and I'm tired of it. This regalia means things to cultures, spiritual things, and if she's not trying to bring awareness to the struggle and the oppression of Native Peoples then it shouldn't be happening. I don't think it's appropriate for one minority to trivialize the humanity of another, especially when I try so hard to be an aspiring ally for the LGBTQ community.
For some background information on this continuing issue:
But Why Can't I Wear a Hipster Headdress? http://nativeappropriations.blogspot.com/2010/04/but-why-cant-i-wear-hipster-headdress.html
To quote:
"Although we are a mostly invisible culture, that does not grant anyone the right to appropriate what little pieces of our past we have, robbing them of their dignity. Part of being seen as "trendy" also makes an entire culture not only a commodity, but also something that people will (and can) tire of; therefore being disposable. And to me, that is unacceptable."
Headdresses promote stereotyping of Native cultures.
It's just like wearing blackface.
"There is a history of genocide and colonialism involved that continues today.
"But I don't mean it in that way, I just think it's cute!

The BPJ has remained remarkably consistent in its independent and eclectic editorial policy, its high standards, its international scope, its selection process, and its format. It has never missed an issue. The editors do the preliminary screening. The editorial board meets every three months to select an issue of the strongest poems that have arrived over the transom, a process that culminates in our reading each poem still under consideration aloud in a marathon sessionfortified by bread and soup and love of the craft.
We believe we owe much of the vitality of the BPJ to this selection process. We have been fortunate to be the first or early publisher of such poets as Galway Kinnell, A.R. Ammons, Anne Sexton, Sharon Olds, Maxine Kumin, W.S. Merwin, James Dickey, Philip Larkin, Rosellen Brown, Charles Bukowski, Philip Booth, Adrienne Rich, Philip Levine, Eleanor Wilner, Lola Haskins, and more recently Sherman Alexie, Laura Kasischke, Forrest Hamer, Mary Leader, Ben Lerner, and Garth Greenwell. BPJ poems have been included in recent Pushcart prize volumes, The Best American Poems, and Best New Poets.
