Protection of civilians: ICRC statement to the UN Security Council –February 2103
12-02-2013 Statement
Statement by Dr Philip Spoerri, director for international law and cooperation, ICRC. UN Security Council New York, 12 February 2013
Mr President, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
On behalf of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), I am pleased and honoured to once again brief the Security Council, and thank the Republic of Korea for the invitation.
Since I last addressed Members of this Council eight months ago, a number of armed conflicts have resurged or intensified, others have continued to rumble on after many years. All of them, regardless of their causes or where they are in the world – be they in Syria or Mali, the Democratic Republic of Congo or Afghanistan – have at least one thing in common. In all of them, the grim reality is that civilian men, women and children continue to suffer the overwhelming burden of their fallout, while efforts to protect them are fraught with difficulties.
On that occasion last June, I focused on three issues of fundamental concern to the ICRC. The continuing urgency of these issues justifies me returning to them today. They are, firstly, threats affecting access to health care for the wounded and sick in armed conflicts and other emergencies; secondly, the availability and use of arms; and thirdly, the overarching lack of compliance with international humanitarian law (IHL), by States and non-State armed groups, which lies at the heart of the massive suffering to which we are witness.
On the issue of violence against healthcare personnel and facilities, I will start with some modest good news. Following the adoption of a far-reaching resolution on "health care in danger" at the 31st International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent in Geneva in December 2011, the ICRC began a series of consultations with States and other major stakeholders towards making the delivery of healthcare safer in dangerous situations worldwide. Some concrete steps have already been taken. A series of experts' workshops in 2012, which will continue into 2014, has mobilised health authorities, medical associations, National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and NGOs from around the world. They have helped to raise awareness and understanding of the issue, and put forward practical recommendations for safe practices. States, of their own volition, have in some cases undertaken diplomatic initiatives aimed at facilitating the delivery of healthcare in conflict-affected countries. In others – Colombia and Yemen for example – they have taken specific steps towards ensuring respect of healthcare structures and personnel in their own countries.
Sadly, the good news cannot detract from the bad. ICRC's healthcare data for 2012 shows that the vast majority of violent incidents – over 80 per cent of the almost 900 recorded in 22 countries – affect local healthcare workers. And of those people caught up in such incidents, around 25 per cent were killed or wounded. In some cases, secondary explosions even targeted those trying to assist the victims of an initial explosion – a particularly repugnant practice causing further injury and death and preventing care reaching those who urgently need it. A further trend with sometimes catastrophic consequences is the large-scale flight of health workers in the face of attacks, threats or general insecurity.
So, while there may be some steps in the right direction, much more needs to be done. As States bear primary responsibility, the ICRC once again urges the Members of this Council to initiate or actively support efforts to tackle this pressing humanitarian concern, and to influence others to do the same. Indeed, this is required by the obligation to respect and ensure respect for IHL contained in common Article 1 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions.
This brings me to the second major concern – closely linked with the first – which is the massive circulation and widespread availability of arms and ammunition. In many contexts, this may put civilians at similar risk of being wounded or killed after an armed conflict has ended as during it. The poorly regulated international trade in conventional arms, including inadequate standards for their transfer, is at least partly to blame.
A strong and effective Arms Trade Treaty is urgently needed to enhance the protection of civilians as well as healthcare and humanitarian workers working to assist those who are most vulnerable, and to help ensure that IHL is respected by all parties to armed conflicts, be they international or non-international in nature.
The next Diplomatic Conference in just a few weeks time will be a golden opportunity which we urge States to seize decisively; to redouble their efforts to ensure the adoption of a robust Arms Trade Treaty, one that sets strict criteria for all transfers of all conventional arms. The ICRC remains committed to helping achieve this goal, working with States, National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the UN and other organisations.
The third major concern – the prevailing lack of respect for IHL by both States and non-State armed groups, coupled with a dominant culture of impunity – is the main common denominator of all other protection concerns.
Some progress has undoubtedly been made at both national and international levels to improve compliance and accountability – ranging from the implementation of domestic legislation, to the training of security forces and the judicial processes of the international criminal tribunals. In addition, the joint Swiss-ICRC initiative to strengthen compliance with IHL has gained momentum, with increasing numbers of States engaging in substantive discussions on this issue.
The ICRC works on all levels – diplomatic, policy and operational – towards ensuring better respect for IHL. To be credible and effective, this requires a rigorously impartial, neutral and independent approach, one that remains consistently distinct from any kind of political or judicial process. This in turn helps to facilitate dialogue with parties on all sides to a conflict and humanitarian access to people in need. Protection lies at the heart of the ICRC's mandate and mission, and provides a framework for our assistance activities.
Of course, there are numerous challenges and constraints that make this task all the more difficult. The humanitarian environment is an increasingly complex one. Just one aspect of this is the sometimes-baffling array of new actors, both those involved in armed conflict and those responding to its humanitarian consequences, with at times a blurred line between the two. Increasing numbers of civilian and military actors are working for the protection of civilians with very different mandates, objectives and approaches. At the same time, limitations on access to people in need of protection – imposed by States and non-State actors – are a critical constraint in numerous situations of armed conflict.
The challenge here is to clearly distinguish and separate principled humanitarian action from pure relief assistance. Whereas the latter may have military, political or economic objectives underpinning it, the former must always be based purely on actual needs. Blurring of the lines between the two ultimately complicates or hinders impartial humanitarian access to people on both sides of a conflict for all actors. To this end, the principles of humanity and impartiality must be the minimum among all humanitarian actors, regardless of their particular mandate or approach.
As the ICRC marks its 150th anniversary this week, it is a fitting moment to reflect on not only the profound changes in the humanitarian environment over the years, and the necessity to adapt to those changes, but also on what has remained constant. Henri Dunant's vision of humane treatment for wounded and captured soldiers on all sides – extended to one of providing protection and assistance to all people affected by armed conflict, on the basis of humanitarian need alone – must surely remain the bedrock of humanitarian action as much today as it was 150 years ago. The desire and ambition to uphold human dignity, even in the midst of armed conflict, must surely continue to be our common goal. Respect for the laws of war also provides the foundation on which people can rebuild and recover after conflict has ended.
Tackling the problem of violence to healthcare, ensuring the adoption of a strong Arms Trade Treaty and taking concrete measures to improve compliance with IHL would already be great strides towards achieving this goal. I end, therefore, with the ICRC's urgent plea to the Members of this Council to do all they can to address these issues.

Former Al Wasl coach Diego Maradona is back in Dubai as Honorary Ambassador of Sports in Dubai.
He signed a one-year agreement with the Dubai Sport Council (DSC) after being unveiled at a press conference held at the Burj Khalifa's Armani Hotel on Sunday.
The Argentine football legend will be employed to play a positive role in driving greater participation in sports in Dubai and also to continue bringing more world-class sporting events to Dubai.
Maradona was appointed as per the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of DSC.
"Dubai Sports Council and I have discussed a few ideas regarding what should be done in the coming period in the field of sports to discover new talents in the coming generation of local athletes. This was the greatest incentive for me to accept this mission," said the 51-year-old World Cup winner.
"Hosting successful global sporting events has put Dubai on the global sports map, and I trust that this will help to encourage more home-grown stars to come out and challenge the rest of the world."
DSC Secretary General Dr Ahmed Al Sharif said: "There is no doubt that Maradona is a successful example of what sports can do to a talented individual if he shows dedication, keeps developing his talent and represents his country with honour.
"With such an international position and great talent, he can do more than anyone else can do - he can reach the new generation of talented athletes and motivate them to shine and achieve greater success."
Al Sharif added: "Maradona's accomplishments have inspired the world. We trust that, through his work as a sports ambassador, he will contribute in inspiring the new generation of talented players to pursue the path of training and persevere to reach the highest social and athletic levels possible."
At the beginning of the press conference, the attendants congratulated His Highness Sheikh Mohammed for the individual gold medal won at the World Endurance Championships and for leading the UAE team to a third win at the World Endurance Championships.
Dr Al Sharif confirmed that the Council was keen on leveraging the name and affinity for Maradona in Dubai and internationally.
Maradona, expressed his happiness towards taking on this task which enables him to stay in Dubai which is the city he has come to love.
He said that his wish is to support the great efforts already exerted and to be a part of the greater efforts that will be exerted in the coming period, to develop sports in Dubai.
Maradona asserted he would be starting work in his new capacity as Honorary Ambassador of Sports in Dubai immediately, and that he would exert every bit of effort to succeed in this new mission.
He also said he would dedicate his time and experiences in the world of sports to succeed in this task, which he deems an opportunity to express his love for the people of UAE, who are passionate sports fans and to support the leadership in making Dubai a strong sporting destination.

At that point, you may decide to spend the dough to have the vehicle properly repaired, or you may simply decide a band-aid will do, and pull the wheel to the left as you blaze down the highway, thereby maintaining somewhat of a straight path, and giving the illusion that there is, in fact, no problem at hand.
Pulling to the left. Always an option. Seldom the best one. When something's broken, repair is the advised course of action because experience tells us that the problem most frequently will not heal itself, and is only going to get worse. And if avoidance is the path you choose, that modus will probably crop up in other areas of your life until your entire existence is patched together with chewing gum, duct tape and baling wire, and sooner or later the wheels will, in fact, come off the freaking bus, and that never portends a happy ending.
Me thinks we've been doing a whole lot of pulling to the left in the good old U.S. of A. since our founders settled our shores. While the oft-repeated promises of our Bill of Rights and Constitution would appear to create a land of opportunity for all where equality is a foregone conclusion and freedom of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness is a birthright regardless of race, color, creed or national origin, my opinion of the reality that has unfolded would be "not so much."
If by birth, good fortune, or a combination of the two you find yourself white, male and wealthy, you, sir, have won the lotto. The sky is truly your only limit. And nowadays, if you're among the super rich, you can hitch a ride into space, so not even the sky can limit your trajectory.
But if you come up short in either of the three – race, gender or income – I'm afraid you have been, and will be, pulling to the left for the foreseeable future.
Yes, there are women of color who have come from poor circumstance and have hit the big time. But look at the percentages and tell me if you find balance. Peer inside the walls of Congress and the hallowed oval office, ownership of sports franchises, corporate board rooms and let me know what you see. You will find examples of exception to my rule, but the rule itself holds true. The scales still tilt overwhelmingly in one direction.
And I understand that at various times equal opportunity programs have shifted quotas so that some jobs, social programs, college admissions, mortgages and the like have been given to women based on gender, people of color based on race, and the poor based on (lack of) income. But look at the numbers. The tide is still flowing in one direction; if you're swimming against it you know what you're facing. That's right. Pull to the left.
In 2013, after decades of women finally making their way out of the kitchen to demand their right to vote and to work, we have women on the Supreme Court, women heading major corporations, women outnumber men as registered voters and the glass ceiling is still firmly in place and men still stand in virtually locked arm at the top of the pyramid, and we continue to hear noise about overturning Roe v. Wade. In too many places men still tell women what they may do with their body.
Pulling to the left.
Ah, the environmental movement. For more than four decades those of us who believe humans have been abusing the planet and must learn to do better have written letters, attended protests, boycotted Monsanto, picked up litter along the highway, cleared debris from rivers, chained ourselves to old growth trees and stood in front of bulldozers. We've gotten a few bills passed, some progress made, a lot of unfulfilled promises about alternative energy being a commitment – and fossil fuels are still king and we face a climate change disaster that is more rapidly than we ever dreamed headed past the point where action may be too late.
Pulling to the left.
Every politician worth his or her salt will tell you our children are our future and we are so grateful to our elders that they are the light that will guide us – and the money is flowing ever-more dramatically into the hands of a smaller and smaller group of people (you know who) and education for our children continues to be underfunded, and Medicare and Medicaid programs continue to struggle for survival.
And the Congress that just can't seem to find one good thing to say about the Affordable Health Care Act lives with a best of all worlds health plan and a lifetime pension all paid for with your dimes, while millions watch their health deteriorate because they can't afford annual visits to a doctor and retirement is not even a dream worth dreaming.
That's right, to the left.
And my favorites, the Republicans and Democrats. Polls keep telling a clear tale that Americans from all corners of the political spectrum want their representatives to put down the partisan posturing. And candidates campaign on their ability to "reach across the aisle," and the Washington grid locks tighter and tighter and problems that beg solving are not being solved because personal power and political agenda is more important than government of, by, and for the people.
It is obvious I believe the system is broken and must be repaired. I really don't know how that gets done. My honest opinion is that for the changes to be made that will bring social and economic justice to the under classes and attention to the issues that matter, a revolution must occur unlike any we've seen since those first boats landed at Plymouth Rock so many years ago. And I don't know how to sail, and I'm not feeling up to chaining myself to anything right now. I'm not going to break into buildings and burn files.
The mantle of power must be borne on other shoulders and distributed more equally. Our founders may have thought they were setting our ship straight, but it's been taken off course. Our democracy is an aristocracy and free market capitalism has been hijacked.
Don't have the answer, folks, but I am clear we have a problem. I fear our ship of state may be in such disrepair that we are in fact on a course we may not be able to alter, and I don't like the destination that lies ahead.
Like the bumper sticker says, "Where are we going, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
Keep pulling, folks.

|Reviews for When I think about you
| improvisationallychallenged chapter 2 . 3/4/2009
I know this says review for chapter 2, but it's really for the story so far as a whole (yes...I'm a rebel :p)
The first chapter is lovely. The prose is subtle and flows nicely, give or take the odd typo ("Nothing will being" Nothing will begin?") and the dialogue/chemistry between Sal and...is it Mei? I'm not sure you use that character's name in the first chapter has a good, strong dynamic to it that makes you want to keep reading.
Chapter two...the content's still good...I just don't really have much clue what's happening.
I understood it was referring to a flashback, and that it's going into detail on the relationship (or rather, the one that wasn't) mentioned in the last chapter, but there seems to be a few links missing - it's a bit dialogue heavy, which, while it works lacks the lovely quality chapter 1 had, but the biggest jar is the change from 3rd person to 1st person...
As individual entity's, they work, put together, it's a bit confusing. But...still an enjoyable read. Wish there had been more.
| The Postscript chapter 4 . 8/22/2007
Wow. I like the depth of this, especially closer to the end. You do a great job of developing character and imagery in a short time. Awesome write - keep it up, k.
| An Inside Joke chapter 1 . 1/13/2007
You established your charecters very well, although Sal's freak-out thing seemed to come out of nowhere. Maybe you could have had the narrator be uncertain about buying something right before or something like that to set her off.
| The Postscript chapter 3 . 1/11/2007
Great chapter. The beginning part reminds me of a quote somewhere, that a person can feel good about themselves for a long time on a single compliment or act of kindness they recieved. Keep writing, k.
| boo chapter 3 . 1/8/2007
u know out of all that happened between u and S i didnt think u were gonna pick this one to write about. lol when i read the first few lines i thought it was about the time u fell, but then i saw "ami"
| boo chapter 1 . 1/8/2007
sal? o_O;
| His Mercy's Waiting chapter 2 . 1/7/2007
I have to say, I really like the title. The story has real potential, especially in the open way you introduce the characters to your audience. The only thing that bothered me was reading that whole italicized segment, but it's not your fault. Keep writing!
| Aquafied chapter 2 . 1/7/2007
seems like that innocent silly a child has
| The Postscript chapter 2 . 1/7/2007
Good second chapter. I know there have been countless of times friends have pointed out what I don't see myself. Beautiful end, especially "As time goes by, it will always be enough". Wonderful work. Keep writing, k.
| Aquafied chapter 1 . 1/4/2007
but my christmas spirit died
| The Postscript chapter 1 . 1/2/2007
The line the other reviewer mentioned I also found a little awkward - but at the same time with an element of deep comfort to me. Perhaps it is correct and I am simply not farmiliar with the order you chose to put it in. Interesting write. You certainly leave it open to all sorts of different ideas with how vauge it is - almost as if there is an idea you have that you are not sharing with the reader in this piece. Intriguing. Keep writing, k.
| akb-inactive chapter 1 . 12/27/2006
At first I thought the one with Sal was a guy, but in the end when I read Sal said the word "him", I thought, the person with Sal is a girl after all?
I liked how it ended though. "Nothing will being, nothing has begun before, so why will it now?"
Hmm, I like the line, but doesn't it seem a bit grammatically incorrect? Oh, I won't be the best person anyway. I suck at grammar.
Great piece. Happy Holidays!

Outgoing Post managing editor Raju Narisetti apparently gave a presentation to the DC chapter of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists earlier this month in which he said the Post would likely eliminate 100 positions over the next two years.
"The cuts do not necessarily mean layoffs and could come from buyouts like ones the Post has done in the past," a reporter covering the meeting wrote.
Despite the downsizing, Narisetti told the assembled journos that "You'll be surprised to hear this, but there has never been a better time to be a journalist."
At any rate, Narisetti is leaving the Post on Feb. 1 but it's not inconceivable at all that a staff reduction plan he put into place would go into effect after his tenure was up.
According to Jim Romenesko who had this first from a tipster, this few-weeks-old tidbit is "causing an uproar in the Washington Post newsroom."

The highly available cluster file systems' devices are multihosted so that when a physical host crashes, one of the surviving hosts can access the device. For an application to be highly available, its data must be highly available. Therefore, the application's data must be located in file systems that can be accessed from multiple cluster nodes. Local file systems that you can make highly available with Oracle Solaris Cluster include the UNIX File System (UFS), Quick File System (QFS), Veritas File System (VxFS), and Solaris ZFS (Zettabyte File System).
The cluster file system is mounted on device groups that are created as independent entities. You can choose to use some device groups as mounted cluster file systems and others as raw devices for use with a data service, such as HA Oracle software.
An application might have command-line switches or configuration files that point to the location of the data files. If the application uses hard-wired path names, you could change the path names to symbolic links that point to a file in a cluster file system, without changing the application code. See Using Symbolic Links for Multihosted Data Placement for a more detailed discussion about using symbolic links.
In the worst case, the application's source code must be modified to provide a mechanism for pointing to the actual data location. You could implement this mechanism by creating additional command-line arguments.
The Oracle Solaris Cluster software supports the use of UNIX UFS file systems and HA raw devices that are configured in a volume manager. When installing and configuring the Oracle Solaris Cluster software, the cluster administrator must specify which disk resources to use for UFS file systems and which disk resources to use for raw devices. Typically, raw devices are used only by database servers and multimedia servers.
Occasionally, the path names of an application's data files are hard-wired, with no mechanism for overriding the hard-wired path names. To avoid modifying the application code, you can sometimes use symbolic links.
For example, suppose the application names its data file with the hard-wired path name /etc/mydatafile. You can change that path from a file to a symbolic link that has its value pointing to a file in one of the logical host's file systems. For example, you can make the path a symbolic link to /global/phys-schost-2/mydatafile.
A problem can occur with this use of symbolic links if the application, or one of its administrative procedures, modifies the data file name as well as its contents. For example, suppose that the application performs an update by first creating a new temporary file /etc/mydatafile.new. Then, the application renames the temporary file to have the real file name by using the rename() system call (or the mv command). By creating the temporary file and renaming it to the real file name, the data service is attempting to ensure that its data file contents are always well formed.
Unfortunately, the rename() action destroys the symbolic link. The name /etc/mydatafile is now a regular file and is in the same file system as the /etc directory, not in the cluster's cluster file system. Because the /etc file system is private to each host, the data is not available after a failover or switchover.
The underlying problem is that the existing application is not aware of the symbolic link and was not written to handle symbolic links. To use symbolic links to redirect data access into the logical host's file systems, the application implementation must behave in a way that does not obliterate the symbolic links. So, symbolic links are not a complete remedy for the problem of placing data in the cluster's file systems.

Name: Patrick Brennan
Age: 28
Occupation: Fiscal Analyst
Education (UR and additional): B.A. in Philosophy, University of Rochester, 2005, Rutgers MCRP – Urban Planning
Current city/state of residence: Delanco, NJ
Family: Wife
Community activities: Volunteer with town planning committees, working with community development groups on foreclosure prevention
When and how did you choose your major?
I came to Rochester with an interest in Philosophy and Medicine. By the end of freshman year, I realized that I kept sleeping through the Biology and Chemistry classes, but was excited to attend philosophy classes and engage with new ideas that challenged my very approach to knowledge and argument. I ended up taking 20 philosophy classes.
What activities were you involved in as a student and what did you gain from them?
Philosophy Council, Outside Speakers, Concerts, CAB, Hall Council, Community Service Network, and Student Government. Participating in student activities was a way for me to test my limits and to see what I could accomplish planning events and working on projects. It was where I learned about success and failure and how to get things done.
What did you do immediately after graduation? How did you decide to take that path?
Corporate Site Selection Consulting – I was interested in consulting at graduation, and during my first job search I was fortunate to find a small firm that valued my skill set and was willing to mentor me.
What do you do now and why did you choose this career?
I am a fiscal analyst in transportation and authorities with the New Jersey legislature. I chose this career because it allows me to work closely with the state's transportation capital program. I am passionate about transportation issues and this is a way for me to place myself in the middle of many transportation issues.
What skills, tools, or knowledge from your major have been most useful to you since graduation?
The analytic reasoning skills that I developed in my philosophy program have served me very well. I credit it for my ability to deconstruct political policy arguments, understand relational databases, and sift through State budgets.
What advice do you have for current students?
College is one of the few places where the toughest part of going out and throwing an event or changing your environment is having the interest and talking to the right administrator, rather than having experience or money. Take advantage of that, because even after 5 years of transportation planning experience, nobody will let me schedule their bus routes, and I still haven't found a sponsor that will let me set video games to free play and bring in 20 ft of subs just because it's a Wednesday.

Want To Improve Your Carpet Via Carpet Cleaning? Try These Tips
Are you prepared to tackle dirty carpets? Never know who to hire to aid? Want the best suggestions from experts in the field? You have come to the correct place! Keep reading this article for the ideal suggestions and tricks which will make sure that the company you lastly select is the greatest selection.
Prior to hiring a organization to clean your carpets, make certain that they have a solid reputation. Ensure that the firm has references and folks who can back them up. A good carpet cleaner will have interior designers, realtors and a handful of other sources that will be in a position to make a recommendation.
In no way hesitate to ask a carpet cleaning organization how extended they have been in enterprise. This will give you a excellent thought of no matter whether or not they can be trusted to do a excellent job. If they have not been in enterprise quite extended, you should require a lot far more references than usual.
Which sort of carpet you have will play a huge function in which style of carpet cleaning business you decide on. For example, organic carpet textiles have to be kept dry to steer clear of discoloration or shrinkage. In these cases, a dry chemical compound is your ideal option, so investigation your possibilities.
When something is spilled or dropped on the carpet, it is essential to take care of the stains as soon as feasible. The biggest error individuals make is letting a stain set ahead of they clean it up. Make certain you have cleaning resolution on hand and take care of messes right away.
When speaking to a carpet cleaning firm, ask for referrals. If they are unable to give you names of people that were pleased with their service, you might want to appear elsewhere. If you get very a handful of names of men and women that were satisfied with the operate done by the firm, you may have a winner.
Meticulously hide any valuables prior to obtaining a carpet cleaning firm in your residence. Confident, most businesses completely screen their staff before hiring them, but you in no way know who might slip through the cracks. My girlfriend learned about here by searching books in the library. You could place these things in your car's trunk or in a safe, if you have one.
Your carpet will have a bad stain if you spill red wine on it. Obtaining your carpets cleaned quickly can save them from damage. First, location white wine on the red wine to dilute it. The Internet includes new information about where to flirt with this belief. Then use cold water, plus a extremely absorbent cloth piece to blot out the liquid. This way, you won't be forced to appear at the ugly stains forever. Visiting house cleaning peoria az maybe provides lessons you might give to your dad. You could also just call in a cleaning professional, which would be a less labor intensive way of handling the issue.
Inspect your vacuum routinely. Your vacuum will be more effective if you hold it clean and replace bags or filters as frequently as necessary. Take you vacuum apart to clean the dust that accumulates inside and check how complete the bag is. If you have had the exact same vacuum for years, consider replacing it with a more current model.
When it comes to how your carpets are cleaned, firms will differ on the approaches they provide. For example, some firms use a dry chemical to extract dirt from carpet fibers, enabling it to then be vacuumed up by their powerful equipment. This is best for organic carpets, like cotton.
Perform against the grain with a vacuum to access deeply trapped particles. This trigger friction to cleaner deeper just before the cleaner arrives. Your vacuuming motion wants to be with your carpet grain to eradicate particles on the surface.
When you have had a flood, obtaining your carpets cleaned correct is essential. You want to have all the water removed the mold and dirt cleaned up, and the carpets cared for carefully.l carpet cleaning gilbert az

The point of this thread was about no-gi judo in mma, thats why Karo is so badass is cause he doesnt need the gi to regularly pull off nice throws and he doesnt look like a bumbling idiot when he stnding up. I love the gi but their is a time and place for everything.Eduardo "Why'd you stop."
Me "I was kicked in the head by the guys sparring next to me."
Eduardo "Ino what happened but i didnt say you could stop."
Me "Um.. I guess I keep going."
Eduardo "You dont stop until i say stop, you dont get tired until i say your tired, keep going."

The time and place for gi is everywhere in competition. I love Daido Juku for their gi pwnage. Seriously, outside of competition and training gi's look pretty dumb and when fat arsed TKD and Krotty loosers screw with the basic white or blue it's stupid and sad, but aside from that gi's are fucking badass and should be worn.

Have you ever wondered what Jesus meant by the word "lukewarm" and what its significance might be for all who claim to be believers? Please allow me to offer my thoughts.
The Apostle John's letters to the seven churches were sent to seven literal, local churches as well as individuals within the churches. Also, they are messages that apply to all churches of all ages and picture seven periods or stages of church history.
In John's letter to the church of Laodicea, he writes these words of Jesus as recorded in
Rev. 3:15-17.
3:15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.
3:16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth.
3:17 Because you say, 'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing'-and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.
Various dictionaries define 'lukewarm' as tepid, lacking conviction, halfhearted, sluggish, state of inactivity, indifferent and apathetic.
In Rev. 3:17 Jesus points out that even though they claim to be rich, wealthy and in need of nothing, they are actually wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked but do not know it. In
Rev. 3:16 Jesus doesn't say that they are lukewarm "Christians", just that they are lukewarm. They are not 'hot' – not totally committed to living for the Lord and doing His will; nor are they 'cold' – not dismissing Christianity since they are probably church goers. They are simply lukewarm with one foot in the world and one foot out. Perhaps they have never had that "born again" experience. John 3:3 clearly states that one must be born again to see the kingdom of God.
Unlike Rev. 3:17, true believing Christians are not wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. They are rejoicing in their salvation (Eph. 5:19,20), praising God (Psalm 47), trusting Him (Psalm 121), praying (1 Thes. 5:17), studying His Word (1 Tim. 4:13) and eagerly watching for His return (2 Tim. 4:8).
It is very clear in Rev. 3:16 that a lukewarm nature is nauseous to God and does not have a place in the body of believers. ( ….I will vomit you out of my mouth.)
During Jesus' ministry, He taught parables explaining that very theme. In His parable of the weeds (Matt. 13:24-30), the good wheat was gathered at harvest and put into the barn. The tares/weeds were bundled and burned. In His parable of the net (Matt. 13:47-51), the nets were brought in to shore. Then the good fish were kept and the bad fish were thrown away. In both parables, the marginal/mediocre (lukewarm) was not even acceptable to God. It was either good or bad.
There are studies available today showing that many people who claim to be believers do not read or study God's Word. They don't pray or meditate on the things of God. They might go to a church service but that's about it for the week. I've actually had people tell me they just don't have time for all that. Somehow they expect to be in heaven one day, but won't take the time to talk with God or read what He has to say to us through His Word. It's almost as if they don't realize that the God they are ignoring today is the same God of all eternity in heaven. What will they do or say to Him on that day when we all must stand before Him? They will have no excuse or argument. The Bible says the day is coming when all will realize that He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. However, then it will be too late. They spend more time planning for a week of vacation than they spend planning for their eternity.
Sadly there are many who are just going through the motions with an appearance of Christianity, but haven't allowed Jesus to come into their life. Jesus explains this in Matt. 7:21-23 along with the consequences.
7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
7:22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord', have we not prophesied in your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?
7:23 And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!.
In Titus 1:16 we read, "They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work".
In Matthew 4:19 and Mark 1:17 Jesus said "Come, follow Me and I will make you fishers of men". Notice here that He was not saying that we 'can be' or 'might be' or 'should be' fishers of men. He was saying we 'WILL BE' fishers of men - after we answer His call to follow Him by becoming born again. All born again believers are not only part of a larger ministry, but each is also called to proclaim the Gospel 'in season and out of season (2 Tim. 4:2)' wherever we are in this unbelieving world. Are we doing that? Do we have a burden and ministry to reach out to our lost family, friends and those we associate with each day? If not, then perhaps we have not followed Him because we do not truly belong to Him. We need to think about that.
Jesus offers hope to the Laodicean church and all who are lukewarm with His invitation and His promise in Rev. 3:20-22.
3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
3:21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
3:22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
It's so sad that today many or perhaps even most of our churches are like that Laodicean church. They are too busy trying to fill the pews and preaching watered down sermons that don't offend anyone by giving them what they want to hear. The gospel message that teaches we are sinners in need of a Savior as well as teaching the only way of salvation is just not being preached. They have become lukewarm. The real Jesus is not there. In Rev. 3:20-22, Jesus has clearly been cast out of His church and is on the outside waiting at the door to be invited back with them.
Are you lukewarm? Have you truly answered Jesus' call by repenting and inviting Him into your heart as your Lord and Savior? Jesus suffered and died for us – what will we do with Him? Perhaps you are a true believer, but maybe you have allowed other things to come into your life that you have given priority over God. Matt. 6:24 says 'we cannot serve two masters'. Josh. 24:15 says 'we must chose this day who we will serve'. Have you heard His call? Do you hear Him knocking at the door of your heart? He's waiting there patiently for you to let Him in. Your eternal destiny depends on it.
Let Him in - and then live for Him with all your heart and soul!

Don-I think a lot of people are saying the same thing because they're hearing it and seeing it!
Keep Telling The Truth no matter what anybody says! When you tell it like this people get offended cause they are guilty. But those who agree have your back, encourage you, and pray for you to continue spreading The Gospel of Jesus Christ. May God Himself keep you and protect you forever Amen.

SummaryAn absolute classic.
The GoodThe immersion. I have never been drawn into a game in the way I was with this one. I kept pages and pages of detailed notes, and would look over them (I even found myself talking to them) while I was flying from one location to the next. Speaking of flying, I'm sure many disliked this feature in the game. However, it added greatly to the realism, since you couldn't just "warp" from one location to the next. After returning from a far-off area, I would think "it's good to be home." How many games incite this emotion? Also, this game had graphics and sound (speech!) WAY before many others, and you DIDN'T need a sound card! Also, this was the first game I beat 100% on my own...no hints, no walkthroughs, nothing. Heck, even game reviews tend to reveal at least one puzzle or plot point, but I never even read a review. I had no idea what I was getting into, and loved every minute of it. By far the best of the Tex Murphy games.
The BadThe action/shooting sequences got to be tedious, since they weren't really difficult, and were just "something you had to do". Other than that, nothing.

CORVALLIS, Ore. - Students interested in getting their first taste of archaeology can now explore a 125,000-year-old site full of stone tools without getting their fingernails dirty.
In fact, they can plan their own excavation, select their living arrangements, monitor their own field notebooks, and analyze a variety of data - then compare their analyses with what professional archaeologists concluded.
It's all part of a new archaeology workbook and CD-ROM called "Virtual Dig," that was developed by three professional archaeologists - Harold Dibble, University of Pennsylvania; Shannon McPherron, the Bishop Museum in Hawaii; and Barbara Roth of Oregon State University.
"This whole thing was Harold's brainchild," Roth said. "There have been other programs that mimic real archaeology digs, but nothing that lets students conceptualize the entire process, and make their own decisions about every facet of archaeology, from where to dig to how much money to spend."
An assistant professor of anthropology at OSU, Roth co-wrote with Dibble the workbook that accompanies the CD-ROM. She worked with Dibble and McPherron at the Combe Capelle site in southern France, which served as a model for "Virtual Dig."
Combe Capelle is thought to be about 125,000 years old, a seasonal camp or layover area for inhabitants of the region then - probably Neanderthals. It features few bone fragments and is characterized by an abundance of lithic, or stone, tools.
What makes the site ideal, Roth says, is that much of the field work was computerized, which made it the perfect candidate for "Virtual Dig." Still, it took the trio nearly 18 months to painstakingly create the CD-ROM program and corresponding workbook.
"The program has a lot of flexibility," Roth said. "Shannon is a genius with computers. Educators who use Virtual Dig can play around with the data, and even teach statistics with it."
Here's how it works. "Virtual Dig" is made up of three sections - the setup, the excavation and the analysis. First students set the parameters for what they are trying to accomplish by fine-tuning their research questions.
Then they get down to the nitty-gritty. How many units will they excavate and where? Should the dirt be screened for materials? Will the site be mapped manually or by computer? And what kind of tools should be used - backhoes, shovels or a combination?
Students also must determine the logistics of the project, including where to live, and then determine an appropriate budget. The program will let them know the financial realities of archaeology.
"That's the part of the whole project that has gotten the most response," Roth said with a laugh. "We put some comments into the program that we've all heard before - like 'that's the worst grant proposal I've ever seen' or 'well, THAT's interesting.' But the budgeting process is a real part of archaeology, and the amount of money you have determines what you can do in the field."
Roth said the researchers also programmed in some other real-life dilemmas for students to consider - situations mined from their personal experiences.
"So many things can affect a dig," she pointed out. "Your crew chief can't work because he's too hung over. The mayor stops by for lunch and wants to spend the day. Your car breaks down on the way to a site. These things really happen."
Once the students get their budget accepted, and their plan OK'd, they can begin the field work. They spend their allotted budget on the project and begin generating data. They uncover stone scrapers and other tools. Intricate maps, pictures and diagrams point out a variety of possibilities, such as how the changing color of the soil may be a clue to locating certain artifacts.
In the end, students must analyze what they came up with and write a final report summarizing their conclusions.
"This isn't meant to replace going out into the field," said Roth, a veteran of digs in the southwestern U.S., Oregon and Europe. "We wouldn't dream of that. Nothing replaces the excitement of discovery during real field work.
"But for some students, especially younger students, the classroom aspect of archaeology can seem a little dry," she added. "This adds some fun, but also gives some real insight into the process. And the technological aspect of it may encourage a few more people to explore archaeology.
"We hope it will make them realize that archaeologists do more than dig with a shovel," Roth said. "Technology has become a part of everything we do."
The "Virtual Dig" program is being used by students in a growing number of programs around the country. Designed for introductory archaeology courses, it will first be used as OSU in the fall of 2000, Roth said.

Slow days in Kyoto
I apologize to you all for the delay in posting an update that includes some of my more recent Kyoto photos. Right after I returned from Kyoto I had to (got to?) go to Hawaii for a business meeting. While in Hawaii I managed to catch a nasty cold and have been pretty well sapped for energy ever since. I feel like I am starting to get the best of it, but I'm still plagued by a nasty persistent cough which just doesn't seem to want to end.
But enough about that. Let me now tell you a little bit about Kyoto.
I can't quite remember how many times I have been to Kyoto so far, and up till this trip I always made sure to hit Kiyomizu Temple, and a few other of the more famous places. And almost every days worth of shooting was always to be capped off by a few hours in Gion shooting Maiko and Geiko.
But on this trip I decided to take it slower.
Maybe I needed a break more than the last times. Work has been quite taxing as of late.
Or maybe I just wanted a different experience. Whatever the reason, I kind of surprised myself by not seeing Kiyomizu Temple, or Kinkakuji at all. What's even more surprising is that I only went to Gion once, spending only about 90 minutes there.
In addition to changing my normal sightseeing routine, I also seemed to unconsciously change my shooting style as well. After all is said and done, I figure I shot about 60% – 70% less photos that I normally would during a 5 day trip to Kyoto. There was only one day when I had to actually poop in a fresh memory card, with an 8 GB card usually lasting me all day and then some.
This is not to say that I was not enjoying myself. Quite the contrary actually. I had a marvelous time and felt like I truly relaxed and unwound during that week. Much more so in fact that on my previous trips to that part of Japan.
I know some of you were wondering why I decided to drop my original plan to shoot medium format this time. The reason I did it was mainly due to the weight difference between carrying a medium format kit versus an SLR kit. And I definitely made the right decision to go with the lighter of the two.
Since I had ran a half-marathon race on the same day that I left for Kyoto, my legs (right knee mostly) were definitely the worse for wear. During the first two days of my trip I could definitely feel that I was pushing myself a bit too hard so soon after the race. This forced me to take little breaks here and there, and I think that is was these forced pauses that allowed me to down-shift into an overall lower gear and slow down, taking in more of the view with my naked eyes, and less of it through the viewfinder off my camera.
This turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as it reminded me not just look at something, but to also to take the time to really "see" it.
Thanks go out to Tregix for remindding to bring it all back to basics.
For those of you that are interested, here is what I ended up taking to Kyoto:
Nikon D700
Nikon 35mm f2
Nikon 50mm f1.4
Nikon 85mm f1.4
Voigtlander 58mm f1.4
Voigtlander 40mm f2
Tamron 28-300mm VC
I also ended up buying the following two lenses while I was there since I found great deals on both of them:
Tamron 28-75mm f2.8
Nikon 180mm f2.8

Lake Shelbyville Hunting
The Avid Hunter's Dream
Lake Shelbyville hunting is the best of both worlds for both the avid hunter and the wildlife-watching enthusiast, with lots of option in the air and on land.
When visiting the area, hunting options include gun and archer deer hunting, rabbit hunting and waterfowl in the subimpoundments for both water and land hunters.
You can also find an abundance of pheasant, dove, turkey, woodcock, quail, squirrels, fox, coyote and raccoon.
Controlled dove hunting is also allowed in managed sunflower fields during the first two days of dove hunting season. The number of participants in the hunts are limited due to safety and quality concerns where demands for the sport is greater than the available hunting area.
Held by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Wolf Creek State Park, the annual Lake Shelbyville Deer Hunt for People with Disabilities takes place every November. A three day hunt is an excellent deer hunting experience and is a unique opportunity for those who would not normally be able to participate in such a physically demanding sport. Handicap Archery is available at Whitley Creek, and you can reserve blinds for the archery season. More information is available at (217) 774-3951, Ext.4.
Management of the Lake Shelbyville hunting lands are shared between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), so before engaging in any hunting activities at Lake Shelbyville, make sure you find out which agencies' land you intend to hunt on, and what rules and regulations are in effect on those particular lands so you are familiar on all of the laws the land you will be hunting in.
Generally speaking, roughly 6,200 acres of state land, policed by IDNR is located in the upper reaches of the lake along the Kaskaskia and West Okaw Rivers are available to hunters with a site permit and well as Wolf creek and Eagle Creek State Park hunting areas. The Us Army Corp of Engineers oversees all other Lake Shelbyville related project lands.
To find out more about what species may be hunted and where, along with approved hunting methods, and effective dates before you hunt contact the Corp of Engineers or IDNR. Hunters can register for permits online at http://www.dnr.illinois.gov/.
The opportunities when hunting near Shelbyville are some of the best in the state and can make hunters young and old happy and tired after a long day outdoors.

10 CFR 70.59 - Effluent monitoring reporting requirements.
Within 60 days after January 1 and July 1 of each year, and using an appropriate method listed in § 70.5(a), each licensee authorized to possess and use special nuclear material for processing and fuel fabrication, scrap recovery, conversion of uranium hexafluoride, or in a uranium enrichment facility shall submit a report addressed: ATTN: Document Control Desk, Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with a copy to the appropriate NRC Regional Office shown in appendix D to part 20 of this chapter. The report must specify the quantity of each of the principal radionuclides released to unrestricted areas in liquid and gaseous effluents during the previous six months of operation, and such other information as the Commission may require to estimate maximum potential annual radiation doses to the public resulting from effluent releases. If quantities of radioactive materials released during the reporting periods are significantly above the licensee's design objectives previously reviewed as part of the licensing action, the report must cover this specifically. On the basis of these reports and any additional information the Commission may obtain from the licensee or others, the Commission may from time to time require the licensee to take such action as the Commission deems appropriate.

Are Bolton Wanderers the Championship's most in-form team?
I am not afraid to admit it; at the beginning of 2013 I had all but written off Bolton's promotion chances; in fact they were barely a consideration in the mix to bounce straight back up.
The team at the Reebok had the air of transition about them, having sacked media favourite Owen Coyle after a disastrous two-year run of form; replacing him.
HITC's own Simon Bunn made the assertion that the appointment of Dougie Freedman was a disastrous one, for both manager - who had turned his back on automatic promotion chasers Crystal Palace, for a place in the bottom half of the table - while for Bolton his relative inexperience could have backfired.
And at first it was a slow start, but in recent weeks, Freedman has seen his Bolton side come into some real form, winning eight of their last 10 games.
Their run has eclipsed big spending Leicester, who have by contrast won just one of their last 10 matches.
Wanderers lie in sixth place at present, occupying a play-off spot, level on points but with a better goal difference than Nottingham Forest.
Their fortunes are at odds with the club Freedman left, Crystal Palace, who are winless in five games and almost certain to miss out on an automatic promotion spot.
Indeed Ian Holloway's side are just three points above Bolton, in fourth, although the Eagles do have a game in hand.
Nevertheless, no team is more in form at the moment than Freedman's side; and that is something which counts for everything come play-off time.
So often do a team who put together a late run and squeeze into the play-offs in sixth, have the momentum which a club who have been battling for an automatic spot all season and miss out, do not.
There will be confidence and an upbeat atmosphere around the Reebok if Bolton can hold out over their final four matches to finish in the top six; and come play-off time that could just be their most important asset of all.
Do you expect Bolton to now go on and complete the job?

A break from the high adventure for just a moment… A celebration of the VW camper van and its quietly understated role in getting tens of thousands of people 'out there'.
There are loads of four wheeled vehicles that exude the musky smell of iconography; from James Bond's Aston Martin to David Hasselhof's smugly metrosexual 'K.I.T.' car. However, few have generated such an evocative bouquet of 'adventure' in a way that could be smelled by all, however humble their travel credentials. This is the remarkable story of a vehicle that became the symbol of free-spirited abandon – a nostalgic tale of freedom, love, friendship, breakdowns and, if you want, adventures.
'The Bus' playfully explores how a predictably humourless German utility vehicle metamorphosed into a cultural icon that represents freedom, liberty and the open road, defining and connecting generations of fun-lovers everywhere. Beginning in Germany with the vehicle's functional creation, into a wild ride that changes the world forever, 'The Bus' is an 'off-the-grid' joy from beginning to end. From Wolfsburg to Hollywood, Burning Man to Baja, people from all walks of life share their stories and passion in 'The Bus'. This is actually a movie about living your dreams rather than simply a story about a van with a bed in it.

A suicide in the family is something some might want to keep to themselves, but that has never been an option for Hughes. Shortly after her brother's death a journalist asked her: "Do you now want to kill yourself?" Despite the crashing inappropriateness of the question, she replied honestly. "It makes me want to live - with more force and energy and verve."
The theme of making the most of her life returns again and again. "One of the things that I feel very strongly, and that my mother's suicide and my brother's suicide make me feel deeply was to live well," she says. "To do the best I can with what I am. So that in a way I do them justice - somebody has to make it worthwhile, somebody has to try. Otherwise what's it for?"
She could have been forgiven for trying to get away from death rather than further into it, but she is grateful to have been able to work through her own grief. "I've been angry at injustice on occasion but that really doesn't serve any purpose - so I have to somehow talk myself out of that," she says. "Those are probably the magic words - talk myself out. I was fortunate enough to do that and I hope I can go on doing that."

Story highlights
- Red Bull's Max Verstappen to become youngest driver in Formula One history
- The 16-year-old will drive for the Toro Rosso team in the 2015 season
- Dutchman will be 17 when he replaces Jean-Eric Vergne
- Verstappen's father Jos made 106 grand prix starts between 1994 and 2002
Red Bull's Max Verstappen will make Formula One history in 2015, as the youngest driver in the history of the sport.
The Toro Rosso team, owned by Red Bull, has confirmed the 16-year-old Dutchman will be one of its two drivers next season, replacing Jean-Eric Vergne.
That means when Verstappen takes to the grid for the first race of 2015 in Australia at the tender age of 17, he will break new ground in the elite division of motorsport.
"Ever since I was seven years old, Formula One has been my career goal, so this opportunity is truly a dream come true," he told Toro Rosso's official website.
"First of all, I would like to thank Dr Helmut Marko and Red Bull for all their trust and giving me the chance to make my Formula One debut in 2015 with Scuderia Toro Rosso.
"With the return of the Verstappen name to Formula One, I hope we can relive old memories and I'm hoping to see many fans at all the grand prix circuits."
Verstappen will be almost two years younger than the previous record holder -- Jaime Alguersuari who was 19 years and 125 days when he drove at the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix.
He is currently in contention to win the FIA Formula 3 European Championship having become karting world champion last year.
Verstappen's father Jos has over 100 grand prix starts to his name between 1994 and 2002 and made his F1 debut alongside Michael Schumacher for Benetton.
He famously escaped a dramatic pit lane fire that engulfed his car during the 1994 German Grand Prix at Hockenheim with only minor burns.
"We are happy to welcome Max into the Toro Rosso family," said Toro Rosso team principal Franz Tost. "It's great to see how the Red Bull Junior Program continues to find talented young drivers and gives them the opportunity to come into Formula One.
"We consider Max to be as one of the most skilled young drivers of the new generation and we believe he has the necessary maturity and mental strength to take on this challenge successfully."
Verstappen will drive alongside Daniil Kvyat in 2015 but Vergne's future is now in doubt. Daniel Ricciardo was chosen over the Frenchman to make the leap to the full Red Bull team this season.
Tost added of Vergne: "We hope ... that he will be able to end the second half of this season on a high note and thereby show that he still deserves another opportunity in Formula One."
