Top donor countries failing ordinary Syrians affected by the conflict with Syria appeals falling short by US$2.7bn
New analysis shows France, Qatar, Russia are all giving less than half of their fair share
Beirut: Research carried out by international aid agency Oxfam reveals that many donor countries are failing to provide their share of the urgently-needed funding for the humanitarian response to the Syria crisis.
While the need for a political solution to the crisis is as urgent as ever, Oxfam says donors including France, Qatar and Russia, must also prioritise funding the UN's $5 billion appeals.
The research, released in advance of next week's high-level meetings of donor countries and others in New York including on Tuesday 24th and Wednesday 25th, calculates the amount of aid that should be given according to a country's Gross National Income (GNI) and its overall wealth.
According to Oxfam's analysis, several countries such as Qatar, Russia, United Arab Emirates and France, who have been influential in shaping the international response to the conflict, are not funding their share of humanitarian aid.
Donors not delivering
Colette Fearon, Head of Oxfam Syria program, said: "Too many donor countries are not delivering the level of funds that is expected of them. While economic times are tough, we are facing the largest man-made humanitarian disaster in two decades and we have to seriously address it. The scale of this crisis is unprecedented and some countries must start to show their concerns to the crisis in Syria by putting their hands in their pockets."
"Countries such as France and Russia are failing to provide the humanitarian support that is desperately needed. Donors must make good on their pledges and ensure that the money is delivered as soon as possible. This is not the time for empty promises. The situation demands committed funds in order to save lives."
Qatar and Russia have both committed just three per cent of what would be considered their fair share for the humanitarian effort, while France is struggling to reach half of its fair share (47 per cent). Oxfam's calculations are based on data from the UN's Financial Tracking Service, the UN Central Emergency Response Fund, ECHO (The European Commission's Humanitarian Aid Department), along with other bilateral contributions confirmed by donors.
A third of all countries who are members of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organization for Economic and Development (OECD), whose members account for some of the richest countries in the world, have given less than half of what would be expected, given the size of their economies.
Japan, for example, has contributed just 17 per cent of its fair share; and South Korea a meager two per cent. The United States is currently the largest donor to the UN appeals, giving 63 per cent of its fair share, but must do more to help those affected by the Syrian conflict.
Every dollar counts
Oxfam is also calling on all donor contributions to be registered with the Financial Tracking Service, to maximize aid efficiency and accountability.
Colette Fearon said: "When funding is so tight every aid dollar counts. We're seeing people go without food, shelter and water on a daily basis. By knowing who is providing what assistance and where, we can help as many people as possible."
Funding gaps are already affecting the ability of organizations to respond to humanitarian needs and forcing them to make difficult decisions about how to use limited aid money.
Oxfam's analysis also shows which countries have given generously. Those who have exceeded their fair share include:
- Denmark (230 per cent),
- Kuwait (461 per cent),
- Norway (134 per cent),
- Saudi Arabia (187 per cent),
- Sweden (132 per cent) and
- the United Kingdom (154 per cent).
The aid agency welcomes new pledges of funding at the recent G20 meeting, but says funds need to be released as soon as possible to provide desperately needed aid.
In June, the UN launched a $5 billion appeal for Syria, the largest-ever in its history, but this remains just 44 per cent funded. Other international appeals are also struggling for funds. Oxfam's own emergency appeal for $48.9 million, its largest-ever, is only 39 per cent funded.
The humanitarian situation continues to worsen, with more than two million people having fled their country and registered as refugees and more than four million more needing urgent assistance inside Syria.
Notes to editors
Download Oxfam's fair share analysis study.
In its assessment estimating total needs, the study analyzed four appeals: from the 2013 UN Syria Humanitarian Assistance Response Plan and Refugee Response Plan 5, IFRC and ICRC.
The study focuses on funds committed, not just pledged. Funding data was drawn from the UN Financial Tracking Service (FTS) and in consultation with donor governments. It includes contributions made to other multilateral channels such as the European Commission's Humanitarian Office (ECHO); the UN's Central Emergency Fund (CERF) and bilateral contributions.
A country's fair share has been estimated as a percentage, based on Gross National Income (GNI). The fair share includes countries in the Development Assistance Committee (DAC), as well as non DAC high-income countries and Russia.
Update on Oxfam's "fair shares" research, and New Zealand's contribution to the Syria crisis
On 19 September 2013, Oxfam published research that many donor countries were not giving their fair share of humanitarian aid to Syria.
We calculated New Zealand's 2013 contribution at around US$100,000 or 1 per cent of its "fair share", based on its wealth, of US$10m. The New Zealand government has since responded that its contribution to date is actually NZ$5.46m (approximately US$4.2m), made up as follows:
- $1.25m to UNHCR to assist up to 100,000 Syrian refugees in Turkey and Jordan under the UN Regional Response Plan;
- $1.5m through the ICRC to assist over a million Syrian people in Lebanon and Syria;
- $0.25m to UNRWA to assist up to 200,000 Palestinian refugees in Jordan;
- $0.74m to the Government of Turkey to build three schools for Syrian refugees;
- $1m through the World Food Programme to help buy food for refugees in Jordan;
- $0.72m to support New Zealand non-government organisations working to address the urgent humanitarian needs of Syrian refugees.
Oxfam is happy to update these figures and acknowledge New Zealand's much more substantial contribution to the Syrian crisis response. These new figures put New Zealand as giving 42 per cent of their "fair share" to the UN appeal for Syria (the data may include funding prior to 2013).
The discrepancy in the data arose because New Zealand did not record its contributions properly to the Financial Tracking Service (FTS), the most comprehensive database of humanitarian assistance administered by the Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). The FTS requires donors to "self-report", as a principle of good and transparent donorship. Oxfam double-checked all countries against their FTS records on the day of publication.
New Zealand also says it has made a US$1.6m contribution to the UN's Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF). This is true. But the CERF is money mobilised across all emergencies around the world – not just to Syria. We calculated that New Zealand's proportional contribution to Syria through the CERF was around $100,000.
While Oxfam was clear that its research was based on figures contained in the FTS, we acknowledge that additional efforts could have been made to check the figures with the Government of New Zealand and regret that the press release gave an impression that New Zealand has been the lowest contributor to funding for this crucial humanitarian response.

Santorini, Greece
The small, circular group of volcanic islands of Santorini, is the southern most of the Cycladic group in the Aegean Sea, and is located 200 km southeast of the Greek mainland. It has an area of just 73 sq km and an estimated population of 13,600.
The island was the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions of the last several thousand years. The present-day crescent shape of the island is a consequence of the activity of the volcano in prehistoric times. The island itself owes its very existence to the volcano, though what remains of it today is just a water filled caldera. The island is one of the most picturesque islands of Greece, and is actually the rim of the gigantic sunken volcano.
The island differs from other islands in the group thanks to its geological morphology which is the result of the now dormant volcano. Santorini's famous beaches with their black shining pebbles, white, red and black sand, and unique land formations make for unforgettable scenery.
The 2 small islands in the center of the Santorini caldera, Palea and Nea Kameni, are the youngest volcanic lands in the Eastern Mediterranean. Palea Kameni (Old Burnt Island) is less than 2,000 years old, while Nea Kameni (Young Burnt Island) began to form only 425 years ago and its youngest lavas are less than 50 years old. These 2 islands represent the volcano's most recent activity.

I have used dozens of sewing machines over the years, so I have a good sense of what works and what doesn't as soon as I start working with a new machine. In this video review I filmed myself using the Singer 4443 for the very first time! Whatever you see on camera is exactly how it went with no edits. My first impression of the machine was that it was simple and attractive and had some good weight to it. But the real deal comes when we put it to work! When I review a new sewing machine I like to use all the basic functions, see if it has any fancy features and then put the stitches to work on a variety of different fabrics.
Here's the 411 on the Singer 4443 sewing machine:
• The price (The Tuesday Morning price is $149.99 compared to $299.99)
• Mechanical (easier & less expensive to service, no computer chips to deal with)
• Variety of stitches (not just basic utility stitches)
• 3 needle positions (comes in handy for adjusting seam allowances quickly and easily)
• Automatic needle threader (easy to use and very handy!)
• Heavy-duty indeed! Sews through 8 layers of denim easily!
• Easy to select stitches without having to reference user manual (only has two dials to turn)
• Speed! Winds bobbins and stitches fast on full speed
• Awkward thread spool placement (be careful not to yank on it!)
• No needle up/down button (found on mid-level computerized machines)
• No speed control dial (speed is controlled with pressure on foot pedal)
Final Thoughts:
After using this machine, here are my thoughts: If you are on a budget and in the market for a first sewing machine or a secondary travel machine, check out the Singer 4443. This machine would be great for all your basic sewing and quilting needs. You can sew everything from garments to quilts and even home decor items with this one little heavy-duty workhorse. I have 14 sewing machines myself, and I am very impressed with the stitch quality, speed and features on this machine. For the lowest price, check it out at your local Tuesday Morning, while supplies last!

McGovern Compleat Physician Award presented by HCMS and HAM at the Installation of Officers & Leadership Recognition Dinner on Jan. 18 in Houston. Contributed photo
GREENVILLE, N.C. (Jan. 28, 2013) — Dr. Walter Pories, a pioneering surgeon and researcher at the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, is the recipient of the 2013 John P. McGovern Compleat Physician Award.
Pories is a pioneer in bariatric, or weight-loss, surgery, and his team at ECU discovered patients who had diabetes before the surgery showed no signs of it afterward. The surgical procedure Pories developed, called the Greenville gastric-bypass, excludes part of the large intestine from the digestive process. Researchers worldwide are now working to discover how the intestine causes the disease and how to stop the responsible molecules.
Pories came to ECU in 1977 to start the surgery department at the new medical school. He is also a military veteran, having served in the Air Force and Army.
Among other accomplishments, the award recognized Pories for his work in pediatric, thoracic and oncologic surgery, his research into zinc an essential nutrient for life in animals and humans, and conclusive results that the Greenville Gastric Bypass results in durable weight loss and causes a long-term remission of type 2 diabetes.
The John P. McGovern Compleat Physician Award, established in 1993, is presented annually by the Houston Academy of Medicine in collaboration with the Harris County Medical Society, to recognize a physician whose career has been founded on ideals championed by Sir William Osler, the "father of modern medicine": humane and ethical care, commitment to medical humanities and writing, research and harmony between the academician and medical practitioner.
McGovern, for whom the award is named and the recipient of the first award, founded the American Osler Society, dedicated to furthering Oslerian values.
Other past recipients of the award include renowned heart surgeons Michael DeBakey and Denton Cooley of Texas.
Pories accepted the award Jan. 18 in Houston.

Debt collection statutes of limitation by state
Knowing the debt collection statutes can assist in negotiating debt!
In addition to Credit Reporting Statutes of Limitation, there are statutes of limitation that apply to debt collections, in terms of how long a creditor has to collect on a debt using a lawsuit.
Credit Ratings: advanced strategies for FICO scoring
Real world strategies for improving credit scores.
Let's dissect each of the five scoring elements and consider them in terms of their relative connection to practical, real-world actions you can take to improve your credit rating.
Credit Ratings: understanding FICO scores
Understanding credit ratings is an integral part of having a successful credit repair program.
Without a fundamental understanding of credit ratings, a credit score can actually go down with the removal of the wrong bad credit entries.
ChexSystems: checking account credit repair
Bank account bad credit can be fixed.
It's important that consumers maintain a checking account in good standing, since failure to do so will often result in a credit denial for many types of credit.
Credit reporting statute of limitations for bad credit
How long can bad credit stay on your credit report?
Sometimes it can seem like trying to read an Aztec Calendar when attempting to understand the nuances of credit reporting statutes of limitation. The short answer is that credit reporting agencies generally keep bad credit information for seven years, yet by law they can delete the information anytime they wish, even before seven years.1 The long answer, however, is much more complex.
Crafting an effective credit repair letter
Disputing inaccurate bad credit using letters.
One thing you must always consider carefully when removing inaccurate information is your FICO credit score. Some inaccurate information may not be adverse at all, and its presence may be helping your score more than it's hurting it.

Authorities have arrested a 19-year-old man they say was involved in the shooting of five people who attended Saturday night's Crab Festival.
Authorities have arrested a 19-year-old man they say was involved in the shooting of five people who attended Saturday night's Crab Festival, a gathering of about 10,000 people from around the southeast U.S. on County Road 318, east of Williston.
Devonte Ocasio was apprehended Monday morning in Marion County during a traffic stop and transported back to Levy County. Deputies arrested him on one count of attempted murder and a second count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
According to the Levy County Sheriff's Office, 36-year-old Barry Barney of Gainesville died as a result of his injuries while being airlifted to Shands at the University Florida.
Two other men and two women also were wounded, one with serious injuries. The Levy County Sheriff's Office would not release their identities Monday afternoon, citing safety concerns.
"Our office believes this may have been motivated by some type of drug-related crimes, and we are not going to release the names of the victims for fear of retaliation," said sheriff's spokesman Lt. Scott Tummond.
While one person died and four others were wounded, Ocasio had not been charged with the murder or other shootings as of late Monday afternoon.
Investigators believe Ocasio fired a weapon that injured one person and displayed the same weapon to another, constituting aggravated assault.
Tummond said investigators are not ruling out the possibility of a second shooter.
"We have an extensive crime scene, potentially hundreds of witnesses and we don't have all the answers yet," said Tummond, who also noted that witnesses of the shooting have been tight-lipped.
"Lots of folks saw stuff but don't want to come forward either because they are scared or don't want to get involved," he said.
The shootings occurred around 8 p.m. Saturday amid the huge crowd along the road also known as Northeast 40th Street.
Around 70 law enforcement and emergency medical personnel, including around 45 Levy County deputies and officers from other jurisdictions, were stationed at the event when the shooting occurred. Levy safety officials had pre-staged ambulances and a medical helicopter in the area for the festival.
After hearing the gunshots, deputies and emergency medical personnel went through the crowd on foot and in vehicles to find the victims. Ambulances had difficulty reaching the wounded through the dense crowd.
"We were, at the most, 50 yards away," Levy County Sheriff Bobby McCallum said Sunday.
The festival originated around 20 years ago as a birthday party and crab boil for several residents of the Lincoln Heights community in east Williston, according to the Rev. Johnnie Jones III, of Fountain of Life Church.
"Eventually, it just got too big for the cul-de-sac and moved out to the main road," Jones said.
Jones compared the festival to a tailgating party, with family friendly activities and cultural attractions.
"People from the outside perceive and have styled it as a kind of street festival. But, in all honesty, it's more of a family festival," Jones said.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office described the festival as "unsanctioned and non-permitted" in a news release.
"Every year it grows and grows," McCallum said, adding that this year's crowd was the largest ever.
The event is advertised heavily through social media, but information on the event or its happenings is not widely publicized. Sheriff's officials said that no organizations or specific individuals claim to be hosts for the event.
Anyone with information — especially video or photographs — of the event can call Tummond at 352-486-5111. For anonymous tips, call Crime Stoppers at 877-349-8477.

Although it requires a deliberate change of pace to venture away from the urban centres, rural India has its own very distinct pleasures. In fact, while Indian cities are undoubtedly adrenalin-fuelled, upbeat places, it is possible – and certainly less stressful – to travel for months around the Subcontinent and rarely have to set foot in one.
The most-travelled circuit in the country, combining spectacular monuments with the flat, fertile landscape that for many people is archetypally Indian, is the so-called Golden Triangle in the north: Delhi itself, the colonial capital; Agra, home of the Taj Mahal; and the Pink City of Jaipur inRajasthan.
Rajasthan is probably the single most popular state with travellers, who are drawn by its desert scenery, the imposing medieval forts and palaces of Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Udaipur and Bundi, and by the colourful traditional dress.
East of Delhi, the River Ganges meanders through some of India's most densely populated regions to reach the extraordinary holy Hindu city of Varanasi, where to witness the daily rituals of life and death focused around the waterfront ghats (bathing places) is to glimpse the continuing practice of India's most ancient religious traditions. Further east still is the great city of Kolkata, the capital until early last century of the British Raj and now a teeming metropolis that epitomizes contemporary India's most pressing problems.
The majority of travellers follow the well-trodden Ganges route to reach Nepal, perhaps unaware that the Indian Himalayas offer superlative trekking and mountain scenery to rival any in the range. With travel in Kashmir still largely limited to its capital, Srinagar, and central valley area,Himachal Pradesh – where Dharamsala is the home of a Tibetan community that includes the Dalai Lama himself – and the remote province of Ladakh, with its mysterious lunar landscape and cloud-swept monasteries, have become the major targets for journeys into the mountains. Less visited, but possessing some of Asia's highest peaks, is the niche of Uttarakhand bordering Nepal, where the glacial source of the sacred River Ganges has attracted pilgrims for more than a thousand years. At the opposite end of the chain, Sikkim, north of Bengal, is another low-key trekking destination, harbouring scenery and a Buddhist culture similar to that of neighbouring Bhutan. The hill states of the Northeast, connected to eastern India by a slender neck of land, boast remarkably diverse landscapes and an incredible fifty percent of India's biodiversity.
Heading south from Kolkata along the coast, your first likely stop is Konark in Odisha, site of the famous Sun Temple, a giant carved pyramid of stone that lay submerged under sand until its rediscovery at the start of the twentieth century. Tamil Nadu, further south, has also retained its own tradition of magnificent architecture, with towering gopura gateways dominating towns whose vast temple complexes are still the focus of everyday life. Of them all, Madurai, in the far south, is the most stunning, but you could spend months wandering between the sacred sites of the Kaveri Delta and the fragrant Nilgiri Hills, draped in the tea terraces that have become the hallmark of south Indian landscapes. Kerala, near the southernmost tip of the Subcontinent on the western coast, is India at its most tropical and relaxed, its lush backwaters teeming with simple wooden craft of all shapes and sizes, and red-roofed towns and villages all but invisible beneath a canopy of palm trees. Further up the coast is Goa, the former Portuguese colony whose 100km coastline is fringed with beaches to suit all tastes and budgets, from upmarket package tourists to long-staying backpackers, and whose towns hold whitewashed Christian churches that could almost have been transplanted from Europe.
North of here sits Mumbai, an ungainly beast that has been the major focus of the nationwide drift to the big cities. Centre of the country's formidable popular movie industry, it reels along on an undeniable energy that, after a few days of acclimatization, can prove addictive. Beyond Mumbai is the state of Gujarat, renowned for the unique culture and crafts of the barren Kutch region.
On a long trip, it makes sense to pause and rest every few weeks. Certain places have fulfilled that function for generations, such as the Himalayan resort of Manali, epicentre of India's hashish-producing area, and the many former colonial hill stations that dot the country, from Udhagamandalam (Ooty), in the far south, to that archetypal British retreat, Shimla, immortalized in the writing of Rudyard Kipling. Elsewhere, the combination of sand and the sea, and a picturesque rural or religious backdrop – such as at Varkala in Kerala, Gokarna in Karnataka, and the remoter beaches of Goa – are usually enough to loosen even the tightest itineraries.

LPGA stars tee'd off at Golf Digest's Paulina Gretzky cover
Paulina Gretzky's steamy Golf Digest cover photo has some LPGA players fuming.
Gretzky, whose sole connection to the professional golf world is her fiance, PGA Tour star Dustin Johnson, graces the magazine's cover wearing skin-tight Capri pants and a matching bra.
The May issue is dedicated to fitness, but some players didn't see a connection.
"It's kind of the state of where we've always been. We don't get respect for being the golfers that we are," two-time major winner Stacy Lewis told The New York Times. "Obviously, Golf Digest is trying to sell magazines. But at the same time you'd like to see a little respect for the women's game."
Teeing off at the Kraft Nabisco Championship on Thursday, world No. 1 Inbee Park shrugged it off.
"Who is that?" she asked.
Gretzky's other claims to fame include her Instagram account, which she uses to post skimpy photos of herself, and being the daughter of NHL legend Wayne Gretzky. She also graced the cover of Maxim magazine in December 2013 and made the publication's Hot 100 list in 2012.
"I think I've been in many Golf Digests in Korea," Park said. "I think that still counts as a Golf Digest."
Park added: "That's just been the way it is for over 20, 30 years."
The magazine defended its cover.
"Sports figures, celebrities and models have appeared on Golf Digest covers since the magazine's beginning," editor-in-chief Jerry Tarde said on the magazine's website. "Paulina ranks at the high end of the golf celebrity scene today, and she has a compelling story to tell. She also might get some new people interested in the game."
Only 11 women have appeared alone on Golf Digest's cover since 1969. The only non-tournament winner other than Gretzky to be featured on the cover is Golf Channel personality Holly Sonders, in May 2013.
"It's frustrating because it's Golf Digest; it's not Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue," 53-year-old pro Juli Inkster said.

Festival of Trees to open this week
Holiday fun continues this week as the third annual Festival of Trees benefitting the United Way gets under way with food, decorations and an early visit from Santa.
Jennifer Gregory, chair of the 2010 Festival of Trees event, said expectations are high for an outstanding event.
"This year, we have an extremely talented group of decorators who I know will create stunning trees for this Christmas season," Gregory said. "And from what I've heard, the gifts under the trees are going to be outstanding."
The event will be held Tuesday through Thursday and host a special "Cookies with Sant"a event on Saturday at the Palmeiro Center on the Mississippi State University campus.
Tuesday through Thursday, the Festival of Trees will be open for public viewing from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m.
The entry fee will be $5 per person and must be paid at the door.
At 7 p.m. Tuesday, the black-tie optional Holiday Party and Auction will be held, giving ticket holders the opportunity bid on the decorator Christmas trees and Gingerbread House items.
"Enjoy the magic of Christmas at the Holiday Party and Auction," Gregory said.
"Be the first to see and/or bid on the beautifully decorated Christmas trees, handmade Gingerbread houses, and silent auction items."
Tickets for the Holiday Party and Auction will be $40 per person or $80 per couple. A maximum of 250 tickets will be sold for this event. Tables of 10 may be reserved for $400. All tickets must be purchased in advance at the Greater Starkville Development Partnership Office, 200 East Main Street, Starkville; or the United Way Office, 1016G Louisville Street, Starkville, or e-mail at email@example.com to reserve tickets.
No tickets will be sold at the door. Gregory said the Holiday Party and Auction will feature live music, eclectic local food, beverages, live auction, and the finale of the silent auction.
"Elaborately decorated Christmas trees, gingerbread homes, silent auction items, and more will be sold to the highest bidders at this authentic Christmas event," Gregory said.
Wenesday and Thursday will allow visitors to view the trees and gingerbread houses, garnering ideas for their own special holiday magic.
Gregory said this year, more of a focus was placed on recruiting bakers and caterers to create the gingerbread houses, and they feel like that effort will really pay off.
"Last year, some of the favorites included a gingerbread house in the shape of the Humphrey Coliseum, several modeled after churches with stained glass windows, and more," Gregory said. "This year, festival-goers will be in for a real treat because in addition to the gingerbread houses, there will be an elaborate train display to complete the village!"
On Thursday night, Greater Starkville Development Partnership's Business After Hours event will be held at the Festival of Trees.
The event will take a break on Friday to get ready for Santa to visit on Saturday.
The Cookies with Santa event will be held Nov. 13 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Tickets will be $10 per child, with a maximum of 200 tickets to be sold.
Tickets must be purchased in advance at the Greater Starkville Development Partnership Office, 200 East Main Street, Starkville; or the United Way Office, 1016G Louisville Street, Starkville, or e-mail festivaloftrees.starkville@gmail com to reserve tickets. No tickets will be sold at the door. Gregory said tickets price includes time with Santa. Parents are encouraged to bring their cameras to take photos. Children will also enjoy homemade cookies, face painting, and a special craft that the elves will help children make!
The Festival of Trees is put on solely by a committee of volunteers that work tirelessly throughout the year.
"We also recruit groups to help us with set-up and clean-up and to work specific events, and this year, we're excited about working with the Starkville High School Interact Club," Gregory said. "If there are other groups that are interested in volunteering, we'd love to talk with them!"
All of the proceeds for the Festival of Trees goes to the United Way of North Central Mississippi.
Gregory said festival-goers and contributors have a chance to see their dollars really benefit this area through the United Way agencies such as Habitat for Humanity, the Humane Society, the Brickfire Project and many others.
Last year, the event netted $33,000 for the United Way, and Gregory said this year, the group hopes to match and exceed last year's goals.
For more information, contact Festival of Trees chairman Jennifer Gregory at email@example.com or 323-3322, or visit http://www.festivaloftreesstarkville.com.

Reviewed by Mrs. Garard's 1st Grade Class
We liked it because there was a lesson about lying that kids could learn. We liked the part when Ruthie found the camera and says "Say, cheese clouds." Click! and took a picture because it was funny. This book reminds us of when we lie. We feel gloomy and sorry for ourselves and worried that we might get in trouble. This book reminds us of the book "Good Night Gorilla" because the gorilla took the keys from the zookeeper.
We think preschoolers to 2nd graders would enjoy this book because older kids may already know not to lie. This is a great story if you like to make connections to your books. We think kids will love it because it's a pretty good story.

Actress Melissa Joan Hart to speak at LiveWell Conference
Actress Melissa Joan Hart hasn't quite explained it all.
The star of Nickelodeon's "Clarissa Explains it All" and ABC's "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" will be in Beaumont Thursday for the Christus LiveWell Women's Conference.
Hart told The Enterprise's VIP magazine last month that she expects the Livewell audience to be surprised by the real Melissa.
"A lot of people know my characters, but I'm not the little princess/girl-next-door," she said. "I'm a little rougher around the edges and brutally honest. I'm also a goofball."
Hart, a busy actress, mom and wife, will likely talk about how she manages her work-life balance and how she shed her baby weight after the 2012 birth of her son, Tucker.
LiveWell Women's Conference
Presented by: Christus Hospital - St. Elizabeth and St. Mary, and Christus Jasper Memorial Hospital
What: Christus Hospitals' seventh-annual conference is dedicated to helping women find wellness in all areas of their lives, from hobbies to parenting to health.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
In the dark and cluttered lobby of The Ridgewood Retirement Community, pictures of former residents and their families lay strewn across a dirty, trash-ridden floor.
The Ridgewood Retirement Community was on fire Saturday evening, April 5 about 5:30 p.m. The Examiner was there to catch the action.
The Ridgewood Retirement Community caught ablaze Saturday evening about 5:30 p.m.
Flames did not spread through the entire facility, but could be seen shooting from the 9th Street side of the complex about 6:30 p.m.
BFD spokesman Brad Pennison said there were vagrants in the area when the fire started and several eyewitnesses said homeless people had settled in the largely abandoned facility.
Some two months after the owner closed the Ridgewood Retirement Community rather than address a number of health department and city building code violations, residents have relocated and the owner has put the decaying facility up for sale.
When William Dennis Foster Jr. came to the Ridgewood Retirement Community in 2007, his family said the facility was a welcoming and attractive alternative to many assisted living centers around Beaumont.

Pardon the expression, but White Sox manager Jerry Manuel figured he had all the pieces in place.
It was the top of the ninth inning and the tying run was standing on first base in the form of speedy pinch-runner Mike Cameron.
With one out, Albert Belle dug into the batter's box, oblivious to the boos, taunts and cheers from a rabid Wrigley Field crowd of 38,232.
"We had the people we felt were necessary to get the job done," Manuel said. "But it just didn't happen that way."
Belle hit closer Rod Beck's first pitch to shortstop Jeff Blauser, who started a routine 6-4-3 double play to put the finishing touches on a 7-6 victory.
Just like that, Belle's 11-game hitting streak was history. More important, the Cubs won their eighth straight game, improved their home record to 24-11 and enabled them to remain tied with Houston for the lead in the National League Central.
"It's a good feeling to be in the position we're in compared to last year," said Cubs starter Kevin Tapani (8-3).
"But it really doesn't mean anything, because there is so far to go."
At least the Cubs are going in the right direction. The Sox, who fell to 24-35, are within a few games of becoming the worst team in the American League.
While Belle, the Sox's $55 million slugger, went 0 for 5 Saturday, Derrick White, who was toiling at Triple-A Iowa 10 days ago, joined Cubs-Sox rivalry folklore when he ripped a two-run pinch homer to put the Cubs ahead 6-5 in the sixth.
White, a 28-year-old reserve outfielder, drove Scott Eyre's fastball over the bleachers in left-center and onto Waveland Avenue.
"I made a bad pitch and it cost me the game--plain and simple," said Eyre, who fell to 1-6.
Eyre was trying to come inside, but he left his first pitch to White belt-high and over the plate.
"We didn't execute when we had to," Manuel said. "And they did."

Physics Nobelist takes stand on evolution
"By the same standards that are used in the courts, I think it is your
responsibility to judge that it is the theory of evolution through natural
that has won general scientific acceptance. And therefore, it should be
presented to students as the consensus view of science, without any alternatives
being presented."
--Dr. Steven Weinberg
The following is a transcript of testimony to the Texas State Board of
Education. Dr. Steven Weinberg, professor of physics at the University of Texas
at Austin and a Nobel prize winner for electroweak theory, addresses the Board.
DR. WEINBERG: Thank you. Hello. Thank you for the opportunity to talk to you.
I should say at the outset that I haven't read the textbooks in question and
I'm not a biologist.
My Nobel Prize is not in biology, but is in physics. But I have been a
physicist for a long time. And I think I have a good sense of how science works.
It doesn't deal with certainties. We don't register things as facts that we have
to swear allegiance to. But as mathematics and experiment progress, certain bodies of understanding
become as sure as anything reasonably can be. They attract an overwhelming
consensus of acceptance within the scientific community. They are what we teach
our students. And the most important thing of all, since our time is so precious to us,
they are what we assume as true when we do our own work. Evolution -- the theory
of evolution through natural selection has certainly reached that status as a
consensus. I've been through these issues not very much professionally in recent years,
but I was on a panel of the National Academy of Sciences some years ago that
reviewed these issues in order to prepare an amicus brief in a similar argument
that was taking place in Arkansas at that time. At that time, it had reached
the courts. We know that there is such a thing as inheritable variations in
animals and plants. And we know that these change through mutations. And it's
mathematically certain that as given inheritable variations, that you will have
evolution toward greater adaptation. So that evolution through natural
selection occurs can't be in doubt. As I understand it, many who want to put alternative theories into our
textbooks argue that, although that may be true, we don't know that that's all
that happens, that there is not some intelligent design that also assists the
process of evolution. But that's the wrong question. We can never know that
there isn't something beyond our theories. And that's not just true with regard to
evolution. That's true with regard to everything. We don't know that the theory of physics, as it's currently understood,
correctly accounts for everything in the solar system. How could we? It's too
complicated. We don't understand the motion of every asteroid in the asteroid
belts. Some of them really are doing very complicated things. Do we know that no
angel tips the scales toward one asteroid moving a little but further than it
otherwise would have in a certain time? No, we can never know.
What we have to do is keep comparing what we observe with our theories and
keep verifying that the theories work, trying to explain more and more. That's
what's happened with evolution and it continues to be successful. There is not
one thing that is known to be inexplicable through evolution by natural
selection, which is not the same as saying that everything has been explained,
because it never will be. The same applies to the weather or the solar system or
what have you.
But I can say this, and many of the peak scientists here will have said, I am
sure, the same thing. You must be bored hearing this again and again. But how
can you judge? I'm not a biologist, you're not biologists.
There is a natural answer which is very congenial to the American spirit, I
think. And that is, well, let the students judge. Why shouldn't they have the
chance to judge these issues by themselves? And that, I think, is the argument
that many are making.
But judge what? Judge the correctness of evolution through natural selection?
Judge the correctness of Newton's law or the conservation of energy or the
fact that the Earth is round rather than flat? Where do we draw the line between
the issues that we leave open to the student's judgment and the issues that
we teach as reasonably accepted scientific facts, consensus theories?
The courts face a similar question. They often are presented with testimony
or testimony is offered, for example, that someone knows that a certain crime
wasn't committed because he has psychic powers or someone sues someone in tort
because he's been injured by witchcraft. The Court does not allow -- according
to current doctrines, the Court does not allow those arguments to go to the
jury because the Court would not be doing its job. The Court must decide that
those things are not science. And the way the Court does is by asking: What --
do these ideas have general scientific acceptance? Does witchcraft have
general scientific acceptance? Well, clearly, it doesn't. And those -- that
testimony will not be allowed to go to the jury.
How then can we allow ideas which don't have general scientific acceptance to
go to high school students, not an adult jury? If we do, we are not -- or you
are not doing your job of deciding what is there that is controversial. And
that might be an interesting subject to be discussed, as for example the rate
of evolution, the question of whether it's smooth, punctuated by jumps or
whether it's -- or whether it's just gradual. These are interesting questions
are still controversial which could go to students and give them a chance to
exercise their judgment.
But you're not doing your job if you let a question like the validity of
evolution through natural selection go to the students, anymore than a judge is
doing his job or her job if he or she allows the question of witchcraft to go to
the jury. And why this particular issue of evolution? Why not the round Earth
or Newton's theory or Copernicus, the Earth goes around the sun? Well, I
think it's rather disingenuous to say that this is simply because there's a real
scientific conflict here, because there is no more of a scientific conflict
than with those issues.
I do get involved in this issue. I think it's clear that the reason why the
issue was raised with regard to evolution is because of an attempt to preserve
religious beliefs against the possible impact of the theory of evolution.
I don't think teachers have any business either preserving religious beliefs
or attacking religious beliefs. I think they should teach science.
And science, as the courts understand it, in that other context, is what is
generally accepted by scientists. And what is the evidence that evolution
through natural selection is generally accepted through science? I don't think
general acceptance doesn't mean unanimity.
I know there are Ph.D. scientists who take an opposite view.
There's not one member of the National Academy of Sciences who does.
There's not one winner of the National Medal of Science who does.
There's not one Nobel Laureate in biology who takes the view that there's any
question about the validity of the theory of evolution through natural
selection or that there is any alternative theory that's worth discussing.
So by the same standards that are used in the courts, I think it is your
responsibility to judge that it is the theory of evolution through natural
selection that has won general scientific acceptance. And therefore, it should
presented to students as the consensus view of science, without any alternatives
being presented.
Thank you very much.

Rear Oxygen Sensor Replacement Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
Common Symptoms
A failed oxygen sensor may cause the vehicle to fail an emissions test. The failed sensor will cause a trouble code to be set and the Check Engine Light to illuminate.
Oxygen sensors can fail if they are contaminated with oil, coolant, or silicone. If fluid contamination has caused an oxygen sensor failure, the source of the fluid must be resolved or the new sensor may be ruined.
Common Misdiagnoses
Intake and exhaust leaks can trigger an oxygen sensor trouble code, but the oxygen sensor does not require repair. Repairing the leak will resolve the problem.
On vehicles 1996 and newer, using an inexpensive "universal" oxygen sensor will cause problems with the emissions system and is highly discouraged.
It is common for rear oxygen sensors to be incorrectly replaced when addressing problems with the catalytic converters.

Told entirely in his own words during a relaxed, comfortable chat with critic and film historian Richard Schickel, "Spielberg on Spielberg" continues the Turner Classic Movies practice of pairing well-crafted documentaries with mini-retrospectives, from the recent "Brando" to Schickel's 2004 auteur confessional with Martin Scorsese. The result is a brisk, fascinating flight through nearly 40 years of Steven Spielberg's filmography, though with so much turf to cover, there's room to quibble about which movies deserved more expansive treatment and where the producers should have yelled "cut," regardless of Spielberg's fondness for a certain project.
Spielberg starts with the familiar tale of how he virtually stowed away on the Universal lot as a youth, before then-MCA honcho Sid Sheinberg offered him a seven-year contract to direct television. Due to his youth, he recalls being greeted with hostility by the crew during his first venture (a memorable "Night Gallery" starring Joan Crawford), which he followed with his career-launching exercise in TV-movie suspense, "Duel."
Perhaps inevitably, Spielberg's memories of "Jaws" represent a clear highlight, among them how the failings of his mechanical Great White forced him to "suggest the shark without showing the shark" — an approach, he says, that "probably added about $175 million to the box office."
Spielberg also wryly reflects on a point-swap proposed by a nervous George Lucas — a piece of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," then in production, in exchange for a percentage of "Star Wars" — noting that he got the better of the deal. That segues to a candid assessment of the critical drubbing he received for the misguided comedy "1941," an experience that informed his dramatic rebound with the blockbusters "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "E.T. The Extraterrestrial."
In discussing "E.T.," Spielberg intriguingly explores John Williams' enormous contributions to his films, noting that the composer "rewrites my movies musically" — and that only his soaring violins could have truly made those alien-rescuing bicycles feel airborne. From there, "The Color Purple" ("My first grown-up film," Spielberg says) bridges the gap into the director's serious mode in "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan."
It's around here that the production begins to sag, primarily because Spielberg's recent arc of movies ("A.I.," "Minority Report," "War of the Worlds," "Munich") isn't as collectively satisfying as the major chapters that preceded it. In that respect, Schickel seems too deferential — providing the filmmaker an unchallenged platform to defend the chilly ending of "A.I.," for example — time that could have been better allocated elsewhere.
Granted, Spielberg is such an influential, iconic director that even hearing him contemplate his rare failures and fizzles has merit; still, with only 90 minutes to encompass a career of such epic scope, it's hard not to get a little frustrated wandering around "Terminal" when you could be wading deeper into "Jaws."

End-of-Year Comments on GE
End of Year Comments on GE, May, 1999. Lee Dorosz
¥ I'm sure most SJSU faculty don't yet realize how powerful their new GE policy is. Incredibly coherently put together, dating back to the well articulated 1995 Senate recommendations that led to the critical reconstruction of Areas S and V. Board and GEAP members, I as well, have just begun to learn this strength for ourselves as we've studied the learning goals and the various proposals. The SJSU GE program is onto something good, a fine set of linked educational expectations for students. I'll expand on this thought in future.
¥ One reason it's good is that it recognizes, rightly, that the overwhelming majority of SJSU undergrads need active, explicit guidance to build an intellectual context for their technical (major) skills. "Offering" doesn't do it for most of our students; they need to be steered, aggressively so.
¥ The faculty who serve on the Board, and those who participate regularly in the Advisory Panels, are saints, nothing short. The work load can be immense, the rewards non-existent save for their own intellectual engagement. Individually loved, perhaps, but generically excoriated. No lesser word. That's a shame. On the plus side, though, five highly respected senior faculty have thusfar accepted nominations for the Board's two vacant seats. People who have contributed immensely to SJSU and want to continue to do so. Thanks.
¥ Assessment in GE turns out to be a minor issue. Once a proposal seriously addresses the new requirements the key assessment issue ends up being how the Board should go about summarizing and evaluating information when the course is over. We'll soon involve you in discussing what I expect to be some creative faculty-friendly options for the summarizing.
¥ Some things are broken. Too many faculty candidly say how much energy their departments put into GE solely because of FTES. Were it not for the economic value of GE, I believe most departments would offer one or two courses of which they were very proud, rather than trying (in many cases) to cover the waterfront by getting marginal things certified in as many Areas as possible. Short of adopting one of Selma Burkom's long-standing strategies for separating education and FTES payoff - an unlikely scenario at this time, probably ever - I haven't a clue what to do with this problem. I've spoken with some Senate leaders about this issue.
¥ All is not well in many multi-section courses either. Too many instructors thrown into GE without orientation, to run up section numbers and capture FTES. As long as students are happy, and the course addresses Area content, worry not about "learning goals," the instructor becomes ipso facto a good one (I've been there, I know this scene first hand...). The Board authorizes one course, the department teaches a variety under that rubric. The answer is on the shoulders of the Chairs. They make as serious an effort as they can but the demands on these beleaguered souls don't permit what they'd like to give to the issue. Too many other survival priorities. And the students don't suffer, they've had a good class, but they do miss out eventually - we hear it when the community at large grouses about our graduates' writing, speaking, global and cultural insensitivities, practical understanding of human behavior, etc. About what they can't do. GE stuff. You've heard my litany.
¥ There are a WHOLE lot of instructors out there killing themselves to see to it that their "offerings" are superb (whether they precisely meet policy intentions or not.) If you're making it in GE, you don't often get writeups in glossy publications. In fact, you're lucky if you get the thanks of colleagues whose expensive small-enrollment upper-division classes and labs your FTES efforts make possible; too often they see GE faculty as second-class colleagues. We need to let GE faculty know how much they're appreciated. They're what college is fundamentally about - becoming an educated person. I've been chastised, rightly, for not doing enough in this domain. I'll work on it.
¥ The policy's going to need tweaking to make it possible to include more easily a few courses that pretty much everyone agrees ought to be certified, but that just don't fit.
¥ We've unearthed some meta-weaknesses in Advanced GE that you'll hear more about, perhaps as the bases for university-wide self-examination. Not nearly enough independent searching of scholarly materials by students. Abysmally little feedback on writing, and darned near zero re-writing. Only rare requirements for in-class writing. Few criteria by which students understand how individual "class participation" is evaluated. Insufficient criteria for them to understand how written work will be evaluated. Surprisingly limited use of well structured team-centered in-class activities to get students involved in collaborative learning. Perspective too often narrowly single discipline. Core GE skills not assumed as building blocks for advanced work. Amazingly little explicit direction of students to the new forms of information management. When a proposal floats in that does most of these things well, it just shines. There's no mistaking the gems (Jennifer Rycenga, take a bow for two extraordinary Area S proposals. Sulekha Anand the same for 100W, and the English comp faculty for 100W and 1A/1B. There are others - these come first to mind.)
¥ And last but not least, public thanks to the office GE team: Gail for warm wisdom, human insight, and organization; Cindy for always being there with her optimism and her practical guidance and history; and Bonnie for pushing us into new frames of reference and jumping all over me when I'm about to do something stupid (I don't always give her the time to stop me - sorry). And of course Anna, who tolerates us marvelously and sees to it that your cherished products do not disappear into the chaos. And Terry and Barbara, who grin at us because they're not intimately responsible for the up front anxieties of GE.
I'll let you add the usual GE signoff....

Gonna check out the alternate reality one tonight, looks interesting.
Amazon has a slate of new shows available now on its Instant Video streaming service, which includes 13 new comedy, drama, documentary and kids shows. This is the first of its so-called Pilot Season slates for 2015 collections of programs which it creates initial episodes for, and which it releases in order to gather data about their reception and decide which to select for full production runs.
Gonna check out the alternate reality one tonight, looks interesting.
Didn't get to it, was marathoning Generation Kill and Band of Brothers. Will watch tonight for sure.
So far it has good reviews from Amazon members.
Yes, and it was very good. Ending of pilot pissed me off, now Im hanging LOL.
Glad to hear Amazon has sent Man in the high castle to series.
I just saw "The Man in the High Castle" pilot over the weekend and wow it is very good. Only drawback now is that I have to wait for the series to start. But, wow, great pilot.
Samsung UN75F8000 LED TV, NAD T-777 (7.2 Receiver), Oppo 103 Blu Ray Player, Sony PS4 Gaming Console, Panamax MR-5100 Surge Protection, 7 Paradigm Reference series 8" in ceiling speakers (AMS-150R) - 30 degree tilting speakers,
2 Paradigm SE Sub. Pics here.
Great tip on Amazon's new series. Being Summer, I've been catching up with some missed TV & Movie viewing. I'm about in the middle of Season 2 on "Orange Is The New Black". The satirical situations really crack me up. Last Season, it was Pennsatucky had me rolling on the floor laughing so hard! Just started a new series on USA Network titled "Mr. Robot" with Christian Slater, and guess what, there are no robots.

It's not like I wasn't already excited to get the fall issue of POP, what with all the significance of the cover (hello, bloggers-turned-cover stars with a Damien Hirst touch!! go Tavi! and congrats to Laia and Elizabeth for your appearances inside too) and it being the first issue under new editor Dasha Zhukova. Then I had to see these images from an editorial shot by Viviane Sassen, starring dollface Kinga Rajzak, and I'm standing behind this issue all the way. It's candy, it's pop, and it's some really beautiful styling...do I need two copies so I can rip one to shreds for my wall?
