Freedom found, still searching for salvation
Revisiting East Timor after its split from Indonesia, Fairfax photographer Jason South finds some faces from his past and a country still struggling.
It was a beautiful moment, amid despicable terror. She stood in the late afternoon light nursing her baby in a quiet corner of a crowded refugee camp in the East Timor seaside town of Liquica.
When I lifted my camera the baby stopped slurping, looked at me and blinked.
Over more than a decade, I wondered whether the woman and her baby had survived the madness of East Timor in 1999, when pro-Indonesia militia were killing, raping and burning after a referendum that led to the half-island nation's breakaway from Indonesia.
I never got her name, such was the chaos of the time, so when I returned to East Timor last week to cover the withdrawal of the last Australian infantry soldiers, I had little confidence I could find her.
There was a church service under way in the small village of Hatukesi, about half an hour's drive from Liquica, along a deep rutted track.
Villagers there soon recognised the woman in the photograph and by a stroke of luck the baby who had grown into a 13 year-old girl called Deolima had walked for hours that morning to reach the service from her mother's house high in the mountains.
Deolima led me along a steep trail into the clouds to a three-room bamboo house perched on the side of a vertical drop.
Fernanda Dos Santos, 33, recognised my shaven head almost immediately and appeared excited to see a foreigner, as they have rarely ventured this far into the mountains.
But I sensed her acute embarrassment over the circumstances of her existence, which were as bad as I have seen anywhere. The house was bare: mud floor, no electricity, no running water and no toilet.
She cooks in a hole inside, smoke filling lungs.
Dos Santos is a widowed single mother of three children aged 16, 15, and 13. Her husband died 12 months after a severe beating by militia in 1999 from the injuries that he had sustained.
''My life is very hard because it is difficult to find enough money to feed my children and pay for their school fees,'' Dos Santos said through an interpreter.
''I can sell some coffee beans once a year but it is not enough,'' she said. ''Sometimes I sell a chicken or vegetables. I might earn $5 a week but often nothing.
''Life is hard but it is better than during the Indonesian time … at least we have our freedom.''
Dos Santos said she dreamt about a better life for everyone in East Timor and hoped the government could provide a ''better education for my children''.
More than 50 per cent of East Timor's 1.1 million people live in poverty.

The 21st-century school bully need not rely on just fists and a cruel tongue. The Internet is now part of the bully's arsenal, making cyber-bullying possible anywhere -- and not just around school hours.
The Internet has also opened the door for first-time bullies, according to a University of Toronto study.
"A threat made through Facebook or texting is as serious as a threat made at school," says Brenda Simmonds, principal of Monterey Middle School in Victoria.
Any cases that surface at school or at home can be tricky to peg down. Detection is far less likely than in face-to-face bullying. The cyber-bully hides behind the Internet's cloak of anonymity. There's little risk of being interrupted or found out by an adult. Also, there's less chance of a victim physically retaliating.
"Because you have that layer, it makes the cyber-bully braver and less inhibited," Simmonds says.
Cyber-bullying is much the same as regular bullying, but without the physical presence, says the University of Victoria's Bonnie Leadbeater. It's intentionally hurting someone by teasing, intimidation, rumour or exclusion. "These are the kids who are repeatedly harassed and bullied and end up killing themselves," Leadbeater says.
Cyber-bullying is happening more and more, according to Darren Laur, a Victoria, B.C., police officer who, as a personal protection consultant, often speaks at schools. "It's the big thing now. Back in our day, it used to be the bathroom wall," Laur says, referring to the way reputations were once damaged at school.
Laur estimates his private company receives two calls a month about cyber-bullying. Last year, one came from a high school where a group of girls had created a website and blog to target one girl.
The 2008 University of Toronto study found half the young people surveyed reported being cyber-bullied. And, according to the study cited on the Be Web Aware website, 75 per cent of those admitting to cyber-bullying someone had never bullied anyone off-line and face-to-face.
Cyber-bullying was unheard of 12 years ago when Leadbeater helped create WITS, the widely used school anti-bullying program sparked in part by the 1997 homicide of schoolgirl Reena Virk.
"It just wasn't an issue," Leadbeater says, adding it became one a few years ago. She and her grad students have since augmented the program with cyber-bullying material for parents and children.
Cellphone use by children has increased by 68 per cent since 2005, according to New York's Mediamark Research and Intelligence (media-mark.com). An estimated 36.1 per cent of 10-and 11-year-olds have cellphones. Most use them for basic communication tasks, such as calling parents (88.1 per cent), calling friends (68.1 per cent), emergency purposes (55.7 per cent) and text messaging (54.1 per cent).
Technology has changed the way kids interact. Today's children are far more electronically connected -- and computer savvy than their parents, Laur says.
"We know most of the kids are involved in communicating with each other," Simmonds says. Her school bans texting and cellphone use during school hours, but she can't guarantee it doesn't happen.
Sandra Hudson, a mother of an 11-and a 14-year-old, was surprised that children send or receive an average of about 3,000 text messages a month until she checked the monthly statement for her son's iPhone texts. He was close to the mark.
"That's how they communicate," Hudson says, referring to the few words or lines he texts to friends or to her.
While the adolescent Hudson might have been overheard on the family phone, that's unlikely when her son texts on his iPhone.
"He could be sitting next to me in the car and cyber-bullying someone, and I wouldn't know," Hudson says, not believing he actually does.
Chances are you won't know if your child is a cyber-bully, according to Laur. "You won't know until someone contacts you."
It's also difficult to know if your child is being bullied, Laur says. Children don't readily admit to it.
The signs, however, are similar to any type of bullying -- fear of leaving home, crying for no apparent reason, decline in school work, change in dress, calls to parents for a pickup at school and a concern for personal safety.
The first thing a parent should do if their child is cyber-bullied is contact the bully's parents. Further, notify your child's school and even the police. Once a child reaches 12, uttering threats or harassment can be a criminal matter, Laur says.
Kids don't realize the scope of the Internet, according to Leadbeater.
"Kids don't understand it's a public document as soon as it's on the Internet. They don't think it's illegal or can be easily traced," she says.
The consensus is that parents should set family rules on Internet use. Further, they should familiarize themselves with what their child is doing and where on the Internet, Leadbeater says.
"Make it clear that you, the parent, know what cyber-bullying is."

|One with the glasses, for a change.
I hadn't had any opportunity to try it before, so I was excited to finally be able to get some products.
I will have to do an in-depth review, but this is a simple look I did using Nutmeg and Goldstone eyeshadows.
I added a bit of depth in the crease with Mac Cork. The blush, as per usual when I 'm doing a warm face, is Illamasqua Lover.
If you are interested in LMDB eyeshadows, the lovely Karlasugar has excellent swatches of all of them.
The eyeshadows are 2g each, presented in a round rubbery compact that feels a bit like Nars packaging, and they are £25 each (about €30)

Miranda Lambert Gives Highest Praise to Taylor Swift's 'Red' Album
Taylor Swift has a fan in fellow country blonde Miranda Lambert. While getting on a plane to travel this week, the 'Baggage Claim' songstress shared with her fans that she is loving Swift's new album 'Red' -- and even complimented the songwriting!
Lambert tweeted:
Plane music..RED. @taylorswift13 you sure know how to write a heart felt heartbroke song. Hot Pics too! #girlscanlearnfromeachother:)
— Miranda Lambert (@Miranda_Lambert) October 28, 2012
'Red,' which will have the biggest first week of any album all year, is full of Swift's signature open-diary love songs, and that's actually why it appeals to Lambert, who is known for her sassy, "bad girl of country" persona. Even a tough broad -- and we mean that lovingly -- like the 'White Liar' hitmaker can appreciate Swift's ability to distill heartbreak in the medium of song.
We love it when the first ladies of country music come together and support one another. We bet that Swift is totally bowled over by this compliment from Lambert -- picture her "shock and awe" awards show face upon being alerted of said tweet.

What are the complications of Gastroesophageal / Acid Reflux Disease?
The liquid from the stomach that refluxes into the esophagus damages the cells lining the esophagus. The body responds in the way that it usually responds to damage, which is with inflammation (esophagitis). The purpose of inflammation is to neutralize the damaging agent and begin the process of healing. If the damage goes deeply into the esophagus, an ulcer forms. An ulcer is simply a break in the lining of the esophagus that occurs in an area of inflammation. Ulcers and the additional inflammation they provoke may erode into the esophageal blood vessels and give rise to bleeding into the esophagus.
Occasionally, the bleeding is severe and may require:
* blood transfusions,
* an endoscopic procedure (in which a tube is inserted through the mouth into the esophagus to visualize the site of bleeding and to stop the bleeding), or
* surgical treatment.
Ulcers of the esophagus heal with the formation of scars (fibrosis). Over time, the scar tissue shrinks and narrows the lumen (inner cavity) of the esophagus. This scarred narrowing is called a stricture. Swallowed food may get stuck in the esophagus once the narrowing becomes severe enough (usually when it restricts the esophageal lumen to a diameter of one centimeter). This situation may necessitate endoscopic removal of the stuck food. Then, to prevent food from sticking, the narrowing must be stretched (widened). Moreover, to prevent a recurrence of the stricture, reflux also must be prevented.
Barrett's esophagus
Long-standing and/or severe Gastroesophageal / Acid Reflux Disease causes changes in the cells that line the esophagus in some patients. These cells are pre-cancerous and finally become cancerous. This condition is referred to as Barrett's esophagus and occurs in approximately 10% of patients with GERD. The type of esophageal cancer associated with Barrett's esophagus (adenocarcinoma) is increasing in frequency. It is not clear why some patients with Gastroesophageal / Acid Reflux Disease develop Barrett's esophagus, but most do not.
Barrett's esophagus can be recognized visually at the time of an endoscopy and confirmed by microscopic examination of biopsies of the lining cells. Then, patients with Barrett's esophagus may require periodic surveillance endoscopies with biopsies. The purpose of surveillance is to detect pre-cancerous changes so that cancer-preventing treatment can be started. It is also believed that patients with Barrett's esophagus should receive maximum treatment for Gastroesophageal / Acid Reflux Disease to prevent further damage to the esophagus. Procedures are being studied that remove the abnormal lining cells. Several endoscopic, non-surgical techniques can be used to remove the cells. These techniques are attractive because they do not require surgery; however, there are associated complications, and the long-term effectiveness of the treatments has not yet been determined. Surgical removal of the esophagus is always an option. For more, please read the Barrett's Esophagus article.
Cough and asthma
Many nerves are in the lower esophagus. Some of these nerves are stimulated by the refluxed acid, and this stimulation results in pain (usually heartburn). Other nerves that are stimulated do not produce pain. Instead, they stimulate yet other nerves that provoke coughing. In this way, refluxed liquid can cause coughing without ever reaching the throat! In a similar manner, reflux into the lower esophagus can stimulate esophageal nerves that connect to and can stimulate nerves going to the lungs. These nerves to the lungs then can cause the smaller breathing tubes to narrow, resulting in an attack of asthma.
Gastroesophageal / Acid Reflux Disease is a common cause of unexplained coughing. Although GERD also may be a cause of asthma, it is more likely that it precipitates asthmatic attacks in patients who already have asthma. Although chronic cough and asthma are common ailments, it is not clear just how often they are aggravated or caused by GERD.
Inflammation of the throat and larynx
If refluxed liquid gets past the upper esophageal sphincter, it can enter the throat (pharynx) and even the voice box (larynx). The resulting inflammation can lead to a sore throat and hoarseness. As with coughing and asthma, it is not clear just how commonly GERD is responsible for otherwise unexplained inflammation of the throat and larynx.
Inflammation and infection of the lungs
Refluxed liquid that passes the larynx can enter the lungs. The reflux of liquid into the lungs (called aspiration) often results in coughing and choking. Aspiration, however, can also occur without producing these symptoms. With or without these symptoms, aspiration may lead to infection of the lungs and result in pneumonia. This type of pneumonia is a serious problem requiring immediate treatment. When aspiration is unaccompanied by symptoms, it can result in a slow, progressive scarring of the lungs (pulmonary fibrosis) that can be seen on chest x-rays. Aspiration is more likely to occur at night because that is when the processes (mechanisms) that protect against reflux are not active and the coughing reflex that protects the lungs also is not active.
Fluid in the sinuses and middle ears
The throat communicates with the nasal passages. In small children, two patches of lymph tissue, called the adenoids, are located where the upper part of the throat joins the nasal passages. The passages from the sinuses and the tubes from the middle ears (Eustachian tubes) open into the rear of the nasal passages near the adenoids. Refluxed liquid that enters the upper throat can inflame the adenoids and cause them to swell. The swollen adenoids then can block the passages from the sinuses and the Eustachian tubes. When the sinuses and middle ears are closed off from the nasal passages by the swelling of the adenoids, fluid accumulates within them. This accumulation of fluid can lead to discomfort in the sinuses and ears. Since the adenoids are prominent in young children, and not in adults, this fluid accumulation in the ears and sinuses is seen in children and not adults.

Car Review
2013 Kia Optima Hybrid EX: Real World Review
When I picked up a 2013 Kia Optima Hybrid EX to drive from Los Angeles to Albuquerque for a friend's wedding, I frankly found myself wishing for a Cadenza instead. The Cadenza, you see, is an all-new luxury sedan with a 293-horsepower V6, whereas the Optima Hybrid is a 199-hp family sedan that's been around since 2011. If you're going to roll to a wedding in a Kia, the Cadenza seems like the obvious choice.
But after a few miles in the saddle, I had to reassess. The Cadenza may be newer, stronger and fancier, but it's also considerably more expensive -- and the Optima Hybrid is so quiet and composed on the open road that it's hard to imagine wanting anything more. With the well-executed Optima, Kia has reduced the chasm between luxury sedans and family sedans to a crevice. What's more, the Hybrid's mid-30s fuel economy puts the Cadenza's 28-miles-per-gallon ceiling to shame, and with 235 lb-ft of torque on tap, it even feels fast sometimes.
So, would I buy an Optima Hybrid? No; I'd get the 274-hp, 34-mpg Optima Turbo instead. But I did come away from my 2,000-mile test drive with newfound respect for the Hybrid's capabilities. I actually looked forward to driving this car every day, and I've never felt that way about the Toyota Camry Hybrid, for example, or even the stylish Ford Fusion Hybrid. Cadenza, schmadenza; the Optima Hybrid turned out to be an excellent car for the occasion.
Highway Heaven
It's genuinely hard to find fault with the Optima Hybrid's high-speed character. There was one coarse stretch of Interstate 40 that elicited some intrusive grumbling from the tires, but otherwise, road noise was barely noticeable. Vibrations in my test car were all but nonexistent, and you only hear the Hybrid's 4-cylinder engine during rapid passing and merging maneuvers. It wasn't long ago that you had to spend serious money to get this level of refinement; I'm talking Lexus money, or even Mercedes money. But now you can get it in the $32,725 Optima Hybrid EX -- and if you're cool with the non-hybrid Optima, which should deliver the exact same highway experience, it's a whopping $10,000 cheaper to start.
Improved Performance
Whereas most hybrids employ continuously variable automatic transmissions (CVTs), the Optima Hybrid uses a conventional 6-speed automatic transmission, and it was a weak link when the car debuted. I remember sampling an early-production 2011 Optima Hybrid and finding the powertrain a little rough around the edges, so I was wondering if Kia had sorted that out in the intervening years. Answer: You betcha. Thanks to ongoing tweaks by the engineers, as well as a significant boost in overall torque for 2013 (from 195 to 235 lb-ft), the 2013 Optima Hybrid feels responsive and powerful when you punch the throttle. You might not believe that a hybrid family sedan could be fun to drive, but I really enjoyed giving this Kia a workout.
Mileage Report
The 2013 Kia Optima Hybrid EX is an Environmental Protection Agency-rated 35 mpg city/39 mpg hwy, and my experience suggests that those figures are overly optimistic. I put a lot of straight highway miles on this car, and my best tank was 36.3 mpg. Now, I probably averaged 70 to 75 mph through the desert with the air conditioning on, so 39 mpg may be attainable under less-demanding circumstances. But my mixed-driving tanks were closer to 30 mpg, so the 35-mpg city rating seems questionable. Still, the Optima Turbo mentioned above is rated at just 22 mpg in the city despite its impressive 34-mpg highway rating, so there's no doubt that the Hybrid is a fuel-sipper by comparison. If you're deciding between the two, it just depends on whether power or fuel economy is your No. 1 priority, as they're both impressively well-rounded products.
The Bottom Line
I could go on about the Optima Hybrid's head-turning style, or its cool cockpit-like dashboard, or its amazingly roomy backseat. The point is, this is just a very good car across the board, and I'd even say it's a great car for the money. I ferried some of my fellow wedding guests around Albuquerque, and they had similarly favorable impressions. I wasn't expecting much from the Optima Hybrid going in, but I have to give credit where credit's due: Kia did a top-notch job with this car.

Battery Service Tips
Do you remember when you last had your battery serviced? If it's been a while, now is the time to either test it yourself or bring your car into Pep Boys for a battery test.
If you are a do-it-yourselfer, remember to always wear a pair of rubber gloves and goggles whenever you service your battery. This will protect your hands from acid and protect your eyes. Remember too that all the tools mentioned in this article are available at your local Pep Boys.
Always remove the negative terminal first. This disconnects the battery from the system altogether and reduces the chance of sparks. If the battery terminals do not come off easily, use a battery puller tool to take them off. Do not use a screwdriver to pry the terminals off, because it can break the battery post internal connections!
Take your battery terminal cleaning tool, which should have different extensions for different sized terminals and use it to clean off the terminals and posts. Also use a quality battery cleaning solution, which is available at your local Pep Boys.
If you suspect that you have a problem with your battery or electrical system, or you would like Pep Boys professionals to do a complete Battery Starting and Charging System Service, call your local Pep Boys and set up an appointment for service. If you need a new battery altogether, we offer a great selection of quality batteries at great prices.

Keith Hill has been reappointed Rochdale manager on a deal until the end of the season.
Hill established himself as the most successful manager in Dale's history before parting ways to take over at npower Championship club Barnsley in the summer of 2011.
Rochdale subsequently appointed Steve Eyre as Hill's direct replacement before then turning to John Coleman 12 months ago. But Coleman was sacked on Monday, along with assistant Jimmy Bell, with Dale 14th in League Two following their relegation from the third tier last season.
And with Hill having also been relieved of his duties by Barnsley last month, it is once again a case of as you were at Spotland - until May 31 at least.
"When the club approached me about coming back to Spotland I didn't hesitate," Hill told Rochdale's official website.
"Rochdale Football Club will, and always will remain dear to me, and to be honest it was a no-brainer.
"I'll be here until the end of the season and we will take stock of the situation then. Until then we have an 18-game season to think about, to plan and to achieve so that's what I, the players and staff will be doing.
"We also need the fans to get behind us and give us all your support, that is crucial if we are going to go forward.
"I'm delighted to be back and cannot wait to get started."
Hill first became manager at Spotland in January 2007 and guided the club to their first appearance at Wembley, via the League Two play-offs, before eventually taking them up to League One automatically in 2010, securing their first promotion in 41 years, and duly keeping them there.

Alexis Mabille: A new era of occasionwear
Apr 26, 2019 | By Alice Gividen
Feb 25, 2013
Milan: John Richmond is a fan of all things gilded, embellished, short, and tight, but this season, he surprised his followers with a relatively subdued collection. Like Prada before him, Richmond opened his show with grey flannel. White tape highlighted the coat's clean lines, and the same tape also decorated the tailored skirt suit and slim pants that followed. The uncomplicated tailored pieces appeared throughout the show, though Richmond also included plenty of the more seductive fare that his clients crave. Short leather skirts, body-con dresses, and fur chubbies captured the label's typical sexy vibe. Richmond added a darker element with a mirror-image floral that featured the disfigured face of a geisha. Though a few of his evening gowns had the same pared-down vibe of the opening looks, Richmond ended his show with three skinny mini-dresses with allover embellishments that were glamorous with a capital G. –Joanna Manganaro

Vietnam occupies the eastern and southern part of the Indochinese peninsula in Southeast Asia, with the South China Sea along its entire coast. China is to the north and Laos and Cambodia are to the west. Long and narrow on a north-south axis, Vietnam is about twice the size of Arizona. The Mekong River delta lies in the south.
Communist state.
The Vietnamese are descendants of nomadic Mongols from China and migrants from Indonesia. According to mythology, the first ruler of Vietnam was Hung Vuong, who founded the nation in 2879 B.C. China ruled the nation then known as Nam Viet as a vassal state from 111 B.C. until the 15th century, an era of nationalistic expansion, when Cambodians were pushed out of the southern area of what is now Vietnam.
A century later, the Portuguese were the first Europeans to enter the area. France established its influence early in the 19th century, and within 80 years it conquered the three regions into which the country was then divided—Cochin-China in the south, Annam in the central region, and Tonkin in the north.
France first unified Vietnam in 1887, when a single governor-generalship was created, followed by the first physical links between north and south—a rail and road system. Even at the beginning of World War II, however, there were internal differences among the three regions. Japan took over military bases in Vietnam in 1940, and a pro-Vichy French administration remained until 1945. Veteran Communist leader Ho Chi Minh organized an independence movement known as the Vietminh to exploit the confusion surrounding France's weakened influence in the region. At the end of the war, Ho's followers seized Hanoi and declared a short-lived republic, which ended with the arrival of French forces in 1946.
Paris proposed a unified government within the French Union under the former Annamite emperor, Bao Dai. Cochin-China and Annam accepted the proposal, and Bao Dai was proclaimed emperor of all Vietnam in 1949. Ho and the Vietminh withheld support, and the revolution in China gave them the outside help needed for a war of resistance against French and Vietnamese troops armed largely by a United States worried about cold war Communist expansion.
Vietnam Splits North and South; America Enters the War
A bitter defeat at Dien Bien Phu in northwest Vietnam on May 5, 1954, broke the French military campaign and resulted in the division of Vietnam. In the new South, Ngo Dinh Diem, prime minister under Bao Dai, deposed the monarch in 1955 and made himself president. Diem used strong U.S. backing to create an authoritarian regime that suppressed all opposition but could not eradicate the Northern-supplied Communist Viet Cong.
Skirmishing grew into a full-scale war, with escalating U.S. involvement. A military coup, U.S.-inspired in the view of many, ousted Diem on Nov. 1, 1963, and a kaleidoscope of military governments followed. The most savage fighting of the war occurred in early 1968 during the Vietnamese New Year, known as Tet. Although the so-called Tet Offensive ended in a military defeat for the North, its psychological impact changed the course of the war.
U.S. bombing and an invasion of Cambodia in the summer of 1970—an effort to destroy Viet Cong bases in the neighboring state—marked the end of major U.S. participation in the fighting. Most American ground troops were withdrawn from combat by mid-1971 when the U.S. conducted heavy bombing raids on the Ho Chi Minh Trail—a crucial North Vietnamese supply line. In 1972, secret peace negotiations led by Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger took place, and a peace settlement was signed in Paris on Jan. 27, 1973.
By April 9, 1975, Hanoi's troops marched within 40 miles of Saigon, the South's capital. South Vietnam's president Thieu resigned on April 21 and fled. Gen. Duong Van Minh, the new president, surrendered Saigon on April 30, ending a war that claimed the lives of 1.3 million Vietnamese and 58,000 Americans.
Border Clashes With Cambodia Continue
In 1977, border clashes between Vietnam and Cambodia intensified, as well as accusations by its former ally Beijing that Chinese residents of Vietnam were being subjected to persecution. Beijing cut off all aid and withdrew 800 technicians.
Hanoi was also preoccupied with a continuing war in Cambodia, where 60,000 Vietnamese troops had invaded and overthrown the country's Communist leader Pol Pot and his pro-Chinese regime. In early 1979, Vietnam was conducting a two-front war: defending its northern border against a Chinese invasion and supporting its army in Cambodia, which was still fighting Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge guerrillas. Hanoi's Marxist policies combined with the destruction of the country's infrastructure during the decades of fighting devastated Vietnam's economy. However, it started to pick up in 1986 under doi moi (economic renovation), an effort at limited privatization. Vietnamese troops began limited withdrawals from Laos and Cambodia in 1988, and Vietnam supported the Cambodian peace agreement signed in Oct. 1991.
Relations with America Improve as the Vietnamese Economy Reforms
The U.S. lifted a Vietnamese trade embargo in Feb. 1994 that had been in place since U.S. involvement in the war. Full diplomatic relations were announced between the two countries in July 1995. In April 1997, a pact was signed with the U.S. concerning repayment of the $146 million wartime debt incurred by the South Vietnamese government, and the following year the nation began a drive to eliminate inefficient bureaucrats and streamline the approval process for direct foreign investment. Efforts of reform-minded officials toward political and economic change have been thwarted by Vietnam's ruling Communist Party. In April 2001, however, the progressive Nong Duc Manh was appointed general secretary of the ruling Communist Party, succeeding Le Kha Phieu. Even with a reformer at the helm of the party, change has been slow and cautious.
In Nov. 2001, Vietnam's national assembly approved a trade agreement that opened U.S. markets to Vietnam's goods and services. Tariffs on Vietnam's products dropped to about 4% from rates as high as 40%. Vietnam in return opened its state markets to foreign competition.
The government highlighted its efforts to crack down on corruption and crime with the June 2003 conviction of notorious criminal syndicate boss Truong Van Cam, known as Nam Cam. He was sentenced to death, along with 155 other defendants, and executed in June 2004.
Prime Minister Phan Van Khai visited the United States in June 2005, becoming the first Vietnamese leader to do so since the Vietnam War ended. He met with President Bush and several business leaders, including Microsoft chairman Bill Gates. The U.S. is Vietnam's largest trading partner, buying about $7 billion in Vietnamese goods each year.
Corrupt Leadership is Forced to Resign, but Reform Continues
A corruption scandal rocked Vietnam in April 2006. Transport minister Dao Dinh Binh resigned amid allegations that members of his staff embezzled millions from the country and used the funds to bet on soccer games. His deputy Nguyen Viet Tien was arrested for his role in the scandal.
President Tran Duc Luong and Prime Minister Phan Van Khai resigned in June 2006, making way for two younger leaders, President Nguyen Minh Triet and Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung. Luong and Khai had led Vietnam since 1997 and were instrumental in Vietnam's two-decades-long transition to a market economy, called doi moi, or renovation.
Vietnam became the 150th member of the World Trade Organization in January 2007, after waiting 12 years to join the group.
Steps toward Marriage Equality
In November 2013, Vietnam took a huge step toward marriage equality by legalizing gay weddings. The government changed the law after two same-sex couples were fined for having marriage ceremonies, one in Kien Giang, the other in Ca Mau. The two couples were charged under the Law On Marriage & Family of Vietnam, a law that bans marriage between persons of the same sex. Prompted by this incident, the law was changed to legally allow same-sex weddings.
Under the change, same-sex couples would now officially have the right to live together. However, same-sex marriages would still not be legally recognized. Still, gay rights activists believed it was a large step on the path to marriage equality for Vietnam. Of the law change, Le Quang Binh, a gay rights activist and director of the Institute for Studies of Society, Economics and Environment, said, "We are going the right way in the fight for same-sex marriage. This might be the first step, but it will still change people's lives for the better."
Tension Increases with China Over Islands
Regional tension over claims to islands and resources in the South China Sea flared in 2012. For centuries, China has declared sovereignty over the sea and many of its islands, including the Paracel and Spratly islands, which are rich in oil and gas reserves and fish. However, Vietnam has also laid claim to the Paracel and Spratly island chains, and the Philippines say the Spratly Islands are within their territorial claims.
While the issue has been festering for decades, China took a tougher stance in 2012, warning other nations to refrain from oil and gas exploration and placing naval vessels in the South China Sea. At the same time, Vietnam and the Philippines have been more aggressively dispatching ships—both military and civilian—to the sea. There was little hope that the nations could solve the problem diplomatically, with China saying it would only negotiate bilaterally and both Vietnam and the Philippines both insisting that the U.S. and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) mediate the dispute.
In 2014, tensions increased between China and Vietnam when Vietnamese officials reported that their vessels had been hit by Chinese ships. "On May 4, Chinese ships intentionally rammed two Vietnamese Sea Guard vessels," said Foreign Ministry official Tran Duy Hai, during a news conference in Hanoi, Vietnam. "Chinese ships, with air support, sought to intimidate Vietnamese vessels."
The situation intensified three days later when Vietnamese ships confronted Chinese ships. The Chinese vessels were placing an oil rig off the coast of Vietnam when the confrontation occurred. The placement of the rig also led to protests throughout Vietnam and some of those protests turned violent. On May 14, anti-China protesters set fire to at least 15 foreign-owned factories throughout Vietnam, according to state media. Protesters also destroyed and looted offices of manufacturing companies owned or managed by Chinese workers. At least one person died in the protests.
The Vietnamese government asked China to remove the rig and dispatched a naval flotilla to the area. The rig was placed in waters claimed by both Vietnam and China.
In October 2014, the U.S. partially lifted its ban on arm sales to Vietnam, allowing the sale of maritime weapons only. The policy change was intended to boost Vietnam's defensive capability in the South China Sea. It also reflected the warming of relations between the two nations and Vietnam's improved human-rights record.
The leader of Vietnam's Communist Party, Nguyen Phu Trong, met with President Barack Obama at the White House in July 2015. He was the first leader of the party to visit the United States. At their meeting, Trong expressed concern about the ongoing maritime dispute in the South China Sea.

Maroon Alert: Sharing emergency updates with MSU
During this time of the year, weather becomes more of a factor in our day-to-day lives at Mississippi State University. The Maroon Alert system is how we communicate with the campus community about emergency situations that may arise on campus. Please take a few minutes to read the information below.
Maroon Alert is MSU's emergency communication system.
Maroon Alert is a family of communication outlets to communicate about emergency situations. In most situations the primary means of communication are web, e-mail and sometimes instant messaging.
Typically, the website is used in two ways.
Advisories (non-emergencies) are posted to the MSU website using a blue banner.
Emergencies requiring immediate action are highlighted with a yellow banner. Should the university declare a campus emergency, the yellow banner will appear on top of the MSU website.
Full emergency information can be found at www.emergency.msstate.edu on the MSU website.
Those with smart phones or computers have access to the most up-to-date and real time information that MSU is communicating to campus via the MSU emergency website. There also is a mobile friendly version of the emergency webpage and members of the university community are encouraged to add it as a bookmark in their smartphone browser or mobile device -- http://www.emergency.msstate.edu/mobile.php
Other Maroon Alert communication tools include campus radio station WMSV, local cable channel (MSTV-98), and local media outlets. MSU also will make use of weather sirens and announcements on loudspeakers around campus, as well as the university's official social media sites on Facebook and Twitter.
Please note that text messaging is typically used only if there is imminent danger to campus requiring immediate action.
There are some Maroon Alert terms everyone should know:
-- Seek safety. In a weather-related emergency this typically means to find an indoor space, preferably an interior room or hallway away from windows, or the lowest interior level of a building and seek shelter there. In event of a shooter on campus or gas or chemical leak, this typically means to seek a safe location as far away as possible from the danger or to exit campus on foot if possible.
-- Tornado watch. Conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop, but there has not been an actual sighting. Be alert to changing conditions.
-- Tornado warning. A tornado has been sighted. Take immediate actions for safety.
When you hear a siren, it is imperative to seek shelter in the nearest building and stay alert and tune to either MSU webpage or local news to stay updated about changing conditions.
Do not go to your vehicle during a weather siren. Vehicles do not provide adequate shelter, and roadways need to be kept clear for use by police and emergency responders. Instead, seek shelter on the bottom floor of a building. If possible, choose a basement or interior hallway. Again, if sirens sound, seek shelter until Maroon Alert communications (via e-mail, text, Groupwise Messenger or emergency webpage) indicate it is safe to return to normal activities.
Because weather conditions can change suddenly, sirens may be used more than once during a weather-related emergency. Sirens will never be activated to signal an "all clear." Each time the siren sounds this indicates a new alert and that campus is still in some type of dangerous situation.

How To Measure For A Prehung Door
If you are looking to replace a door, there are a lot of features that might make prehung doors the best option for you. Prehung doors are ideal for beginners. This is because they come with many features that make them easier to install than a slab door, like the hole for the doorknob and the fact that the hinges come already attached.
Another benefit is that you can be sure it will be well insulated, so that stress is also minimized. However, with prehung doors, you must also make sure your measurements are as accurate as possible to ensure that the door fits, and it is level.

Click here for the smartest and dumbest sources for movies
Do you know what intrigues me most about the people who run Hollywood?
They're full of surprises.
Just when you think you have them figured out, they do something you didn't expect.
For instance, I was sitting in a movie theater last week, watching yet another silly action movie based on a toy, and I was thinking that this is as low as Hollywood executives can stoop for source material.
It wasn't that long ago that some of us thought Disneyland rides were the most ridiculous source material for films. Compared to toys, Disneyland rides look like John Steinbeck novels.
Well, Hollywood surprised me again when plans were announced that a movie might be made based on footage shot during rehearsals in Los Angeles for Michael Jackson's series of London concerts. The pop singer was scheduled to perform 50 concerts, which obviously were canceled after his death. But just because Jackson can't benefit financially from his work, people in Hollywood have figured a way to make a buck.
Yes, I know that Jackson's family will make the bulk of any profits that come from this film, but I'm sure there will be plenty left over for the people behind this morbid scheme.
Making a movie based on rehearsals for a concert that never happened has set a new standard for movie source material. The bar is now set so low that nobody could limbo under it. Perhaps a snake could slither under the bar.
According to reports, 80 hours of rehearsal footage were shot, presumably with the late singer's blessing. The proposed movie would draw heavily on that footage, but also might include three or more classic Jackson music videos. Although it sounds suspiciously like a documentary, the people behind it insist that it is a feature film. Are they worried that the word "documentary" might scare off some people (documentaries generally don't make a lot of money), or do they plan to fictionalize the singer's final days?
Anyway, I'm sure Michael will be spinning (or moon-walking) in his grave when this movie comes out. But he won't be laughing all the way to the bank. Somebody else will be doing the laughing.
Now that rehearsal footage is officially designated as source material for a movie, it's probably time to discuss other source material used by filmmakers.
And why just discuss something when you can make a list?
In reverse order, from the dumbest source material to the smartest, here is a glimpse into how Hollywood works.
Of course, there will be some industry people who maintain that this is a list of smartest to dumbest because they equate smart and dumb with how much, or how little, money a movie makes.
Smart or dumb, this list has nothing to do with success or failure. A movie based on a brilliant novel can bomb, and a movie based on a toy can be the biggest movie of the summer.

PSA Essentials
today along with a fabulous giveaway for this week!
PSA Essentials exclusively offers the only switchable personalized stamp on the market today, called the Peel & Stick® Stamp.
You start with a personalized self inking stamp design which has an interchangeable outer ring and center. These are perfect to stamp envelopes, bookplates, stationary, even business cards. But the versatility of these stampers go way beyond that!
The Peel & Stick® technology allows the design of every stamp to be switched with any other PSA Essentials stamp die. You can simply peel away the center design and stick another in its place – It's that easy. You can even interchange the outer ring as well for even more design options.
PSA Essentials carries over 105 different Peel & Stick® packs giving you billions of design possibilities.
Each collection pack comes complete with nine switchable centers and one outer ring.
Each of the stamps use a special technology to stick, not an adhesive so they are reuseable over and over. You can leave them on the stamper for months (a year, or forever) and when you are ready to change them up they peel right off.
The Peel & Stick® packs include an array of collections including everyday designs, wedding designs, letters and numbers, they even carry designs for the holidays….
and special licensed character packs too!
The stamp body is sturdy and well constructed delivering the cleanest, clearest, crispest impressions. {plus there is no lead or PVC in the stampers or polymer dies – meaning they will not yellow, curl or even get yucky.
Changing the designs could not be easier either – as simple as 1-2-3!
The self inking cartridges are easy to use as well plus they are child-safe. The cartridge sits inside the stamper body so there is no messy exposed inks to deal with.
And my favorite part is the two color options! These unique cartridges allow the outer ring to be stamped a different color than the center design – all by simply using one cartridge. {I used the orange and black for my Halloween paper circle garland yesterday}
There is so much you can do with these stampers – the possibilities are endless.

Associated Press
LAS VEGAS -- After last-minute losses in Washington's last two games, coach Steve Sarkisian didn't have to look far to find out what ails the Huskies.
Not being able to finish off a game tops the list.
Washington had another lead late, but was unable to hold it Saturday, falling 28-26 to No. 20 Boise State in the Las Vegas Bowl on a 27-yard field goal by Michael Frisina with 1:16 left. Combined with a regular-season ending loss to rival Washington State, it was a disappointing end to what had been a promising season for Washington.
"Our inability to finish is pretty blaring," Sarkisian said. "Obviously, it will be a point of emphasis for us on the offseason."
Washington (7-6) had taken the lead for the first time on a 38-yard field goal by Travis Coons with 4:09 left when Boise State (11-2) got a big kickoff return by freshman Shane Williams-Rhodes to the Washington 42. Joe Southwick guided the team to the 12 before Frisina hit the winning kick.
It was the kind of game Sarkisian envisioned, just not the kind of ending he liked.
"We knew that it would come down to the last possession or two of the game," he said. "To their credit, they found a way to win the ball game in the end."
To do that, the Broncos had to overcome a huge game by Bishop Sankey, who started fall practice No. 3 on the depth chart before developing into an offensive star.
Sankey rushed for 205 yards against the normally stingy Boise State defense. Sankey also had 74 yards receiving, giving him 279 of Washington's 447 yards from scrimmage.
Despite being on the losing team, he was the game's MVP.
"There's a lot of mixed emotions going on," said Sankey, who rushed 30 times, caught six passes and scored a touchdown. "The MVP doesn't mean so much when you come out a loser."
Washington will play Boise State again in its next game when the Huskies open their renovated stadium in August against the Broncos.
It was the third straight Las Vegas Bowl win for Boise State, but the Broncos had to work hard for this one after blowouts in the other two. The win wasn't sealed until the 5-foot-5 Frisina hit the game winner. It left them feeling good about a game and a season when, unlike the last two years, there was hardly any talk about Boise State being in a BCS game.
"The most satisfying thing about this season was each week you'd see us get just a little bit better," Boise State coach Chris Petersen said. "These guys, they don't go through the motions. They have a chip on their shoulder."
But it was Frisina who came up with the biggest game of his career in his final game. He kicked three field goals, including the first game winner he could ever recall booting.
"It's every kicker's dream to win a big game with a field goal," Frisina said. "For this one to come on the last game of my career, you couldn't ask for anything more.'
"I was just focused on what I had to do," Frisina said. "I'm there as the insurance guy, I guess you'd say."
Boise State sealed the win when Jeremy Ioane intercepted Keith Price's pass as the Huskies neared midfield.
Southwick had another efficient game, completing 26 of 38 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns for a Boise State team that struggled offensively through much of the season before improving over its last three games.
"All year I knew I could play at this level," he said. "It's just a lot of work, a lot of moving parts to put the puzzle together. The last three games it's really showed. We've just been executing at a high level in the offense."
Southwick, a junior who took over from the departing Kellen Moore, also ran for 39 yards and had a punt that pinned Washington by its goal line in the fourth quarter.
Boise State, which outscored Utah and Arizona State 82-24 in its two previous Las Vegas Bowl wins, looked headed for a third straight blowout when Holden Huff scored on a 34-yard pass with 5:25 left in the second quarter for an 18-3 lead. But Sankey scored on a 26-yard run on Washington's next possession, and Price scrambled for another score with 3 seconds left to make it 18-17 at halftime.
The teams traded long drives in the third quarter, with Boise going 74 yards in 15 plays to open the second half, and Washington responding with a 75 yard, 12 play drive. The Huskies went for a 2-point conversion that would have tied it, but the pass was incomplete
Sankey kept Washington in the game almost by himself in the first half, scoring the first touchdown for the Huskies and gaining huge chunks of yardage against the normally stingy Bronco defense.
Of the 238 yards Washington gained in the half, Sankey had 178 of them. He ran 16 times for 130 yards and stretched out two short passes for another 48 yards.
Boise State was playing without starting defensive end Demarcus Lawrence, the team's sack leader. Lawrence was sent home Thursday for violating unspecified team rules, his second suspension of the season..
NEW ORLEANS -- Terrance Broadway passed for 316 yards and ran for 108, helping Louisiana-Lafayette beat East Carolina for its second straight New Orleans Bowl victory.
Alonzo Harris rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns for the Ragin' Cajuns (9-4), who briefly squandered a three-touchdown lead before moving back in front for good on Broadway's 14-yard scoring pass to Javone Lawson late in the third quarter. Brett Baer added his second and third field goals in the fourth quarter.
Broadway also ran for a 12-yard score.
Shane Carden passed for 278 yards and two touchdowns for East Carolina (8-5), but had a pass intercepted by Jemarlous Moten in the fourth quarter as the Pirates were driving for a potential go-ahead score.
The Pirates' Reggie Bullock ran for 104 yards and two touchdowns.
Last year, Lafayette beat San Diego State 32-30 in the bowl.

When you're on holiday it's important to feel like you've found the perfect place from which to explore your surroundings.

West Hollywood is a great choice, it's easy to travel from here to other parts of the city and has plenty of places to eat, plus fantastic shopping opportunities for everyone. Or book your stay in Santa Monica; on the ocean, with palm-fringed boulevards and tons of restaurants (with the emphasis on healthy food), it's ideal to get that Californian vibe.
Downtown is the place to base yourself if you're in town for business. It's also where a lot of the cultural must-sees are located, including The Museum of Contemporary Art, The Broad and the FIDM fashion museum. On the pricier side is Beverly Hills – home to many of Los Angeles' rich and famous – and it's in this neighbourhood that you'll find Rodeo Drive, LA's most famous shopping street, public art on display, fine dining and pampering opportunities aplenty. A perfect mixture or hip and easy-going, Los Feliz is the neighbourhood to hunt down if you're after a lively, community feel. Expect old-school dive bars, restaurants to suit every budget (try Little Dom's for breakfast, where you'll find treats such as fresh blueberry pancakes and French-toast soufflé), a single-screen cinema where films are still shown on the reel, Frank Lloyd Wright-designed constructions and Griffith Park on your doorstep. It's a winner with younger visitors. Read our LA neighbourhood guide to find out more.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Hamas is reportedly holding meetings with representatives from Iran and Hezbollah in order to increase financial aid to the terror group that rules the Gaza Strip. Hamas' monthly income has taken a big hit in recent months due to the Muslim Brotherhood's fall in Egypt and strained relations with Iran related to Syria's ongoing civil war.
Arabic daily newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat reported that senior Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzouk recently met with members of Hezbollah at the Iranian embassy in Beirut. According to the report, Tehran continues to view Hamas as a "strategic partner."
Ahmed Yusuf, senior advisor to Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, revealed to the newspaper that he anticipates official ties with Iran will be restored again soon. Hamas had paid a heavy price for backing rebel forces in Syria, while Iran and Hezbollah have stood staunchly by the regime of embattled dictator Bashar Assad. It is estimated that Iran cut up to $14 million USD per month in aid to the Palestinian group.
In the opening months of the Syrian revolution, Hamas supported in principle the struggle of the Syrian people, whilst also honoring the historical relationship between the regime and Hamas, which until recently maintained its international headquarters in Damascus.
However, according to some reports, as the rift between Iran and Hamas deepened, Hamas' stance towards the revolution shifted in full support of the Syrian rebels. Some reports claimed that Hamas was training the rebel Free Syrian Army in eastern Damascus, though Hamas ardently denied such accusations. Later reports suggested that Syrian security forces had forcibly shut down all offices belonging to Hamas.
Of late, Hamas has interfered in the civil war by calling on Hezbollah to withdraw from Syria and aim its weapons instead at Israel.
It is important to note that Hamas was born out what Israeli columnist Hillel Frisch called the "Stalinisation of Iranian politics." Hamas and Iranian relations strengthened in 2006 after the election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who transformed Hamas from an isolated movement into a strategic regional partner, thereby giving the group much more influence in Palestinian affairs, especially relations with Israel.
As most already know, Iran and Hezbollah share a pan-Islamic ideology, and Hamas is part of Iran's overall strategy of establishing a pan-Islamic jihad against the West, starting with Israel.
With many of the Arab states now preoccupied with their own national interests the Palestinian cause is less likely to find engagement from regional powers. But Hamas has nevertheless been successful in the past in bringing the Palestinian question to Arab governments and especially gaining an intensified interest from Iran.
As Iran seeks regional domination in both Shiite and Sunni communities, whilst employing terrorist groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas to deliver its pan-Islamic jihad, there is no doubt that even if current Iranian financial aid for Hamas is reduced, when the time is ripe Iran will be at Hamas' rear fulfilling every word of its "strategic partnership"…against Israel.
