'We're not concerned about records or collections. But this flick would stand as a classic in the history of Telugu cinema forever', said Krishna Vamsi, during the teaser launch of 'Govindudu Andarivadele'. Seems like the master plan for making this flick is decoded now as the latest release audio teaser has many words to read.
Debacle of 'Thoofan' left Ram Charan with a strong desire to prove his acting mettle first rather than showing his mass-power at box office. He could command victories with average flicks like Racha and Yevadu and steer them to become blockbusters with his cyclopean image. But when he will answer critics who wrote him as stone-faced actor? Look at 'Govindudu Andarivadele' audio release teaser and no doubt, you'll be swept off your feet. Charan's subtle expression that indicates he is missing his family is simply mind blowing.
The most successful mega hero of present lot hasn't come up with such mystical performances in the past. Definitely Krishna Vamsi's GAV is not for records but to establish the Mega Powerstar as an actor beyond the imaginations of his critics. What say Cherry?

Designer Rei Kawakubo is the figurehead of Comme des Garçons, which is now a design empire - Kawakubo is regarded by many in the fashion industry as a genius. The often avant-garde and always influential label was created by Kawakubo in Tokyo in 1969 before heading to Paris in 1981 where it garnered both acclaim and controversy with a debut collection of distressed and deconstructed pieces. The modern Comme des Garçons brand, which encompasses an entire family of sub-brands in fashion and fragrance, is worn by men and women with an esoteric style stance.

The Scientologists-on lIne web sites are of some value to attorneys and persons
seeking information.
Recently, an attorney had a client who had sent his child to a dentist for a
check up. This dentist set up an elaborate and very expensive treatment
program. The father was suspicious and sent the child to another dentist who
said that all that was necessary was a good cleaning. The father made some
considerable noise and letters to the Dental community with accusations of
fraud etc. against the first dentist. The first dentist then sued the father
for defamation. The father engaged an attorney who turned out to be quite
enterprising. This attorney found a former employee of the dentist who said
that this dentist was involved with a certain Mangement consulting group. The
attorney surfed the net and found information on the Management group and
discovered the scientology connection. Somehow the attorney discovered the
'Scientologists-On-Line site and guess who he found...the expensive dentist.
This matter was quickly settled to the fathers satisfaction.

My son is in the 4th grade this year and I am seriously thinking of having him home schooled. There are a few reasons why. First, he states that it is too loud in school for him to concentrate and focus. Second, he was just diagnosed with anxiety disorder on top of his PDD-NOS and this is causing issues at school (behaviorly). He reads at a 1.5 grade level and is in 4th grade.
He has told me his teachers basically give him the answers on tests. How is this helping him? I feel like the school has not done him justice and the whole "No child left behind" is just hurting him in his education.
We send him to private tutors right now and he seems to do better 1:1. Can we pursue this with the school?
Can I have my school pay for a teacher for home schooling?

Advanced Spectroscopy and Forensic Analysis Enhancing Student Engagement, Skills and Practical Experience Through Project-based Learning Dr Falko Drijfhout, Professor Mark Ormerod and Dr Vladimir Zholobenko School of Physical and Geographical Sciences
Problem Linking lecture material with applications (e.g. Lab based work) Apply knowledge - especially in problem solving situations Big gap between knowledge obtained in lectures and "real life" scenarios
Project-Based Learning What is it? – Project-based learning is an individual or group activity that goes on over a period of time, resulting in a product, presentation, or performance. – Usually with the use of technical equipment or an IT component
Project-Based Learning Advantages? – Ability to apply knowledge. – Motivation to learn material when it is put in a context in which they see its relevance (O'Hara et al., 1999). – Students often engage better when the outcome is unknown. Disadvantages? – Carrying out project without enough knowledge. – Unable to interpret results.
Does it work? CHE-20011 as a case: – Relative new module started in 2005-2006 – Several changes carried out over the years – Main problem was the gap between lab mark and exam mark – Introduced Project-based learning in 2007- 2008 – End of 2007-2008: Average Lab mark: 70% vs. average exam mark 42%
Problems specific to this module Students engage very well in the laboratory work Feedback from students is very positive
Some Feedback Well organized, good scripts (6) Labs related to lectures and helped my understanding (5) Helpful staff and demonstrators (6) Easy to ask questions – got helpful answers Labs were interesting, enjoyable (3) Not enough information given, sometimes confusing (mini-project) (6) Provide handouts on how to use equipment
Problems specific to this module Students engage very well in the laboratory work Feedback from students is very positive They all enjoy the lab work BUT…… ……. exam mark is always very low!
Possible solutions Improve students' – problem solving skills – understanding of instruments used in the lab Project-Based learning ….. …… with some modifications – Start with small exercises – Use of simple data collection software (LoggerPro)
LoggerPro "Logger Pro software provides an inexpensive, user-friendly way for students to collect and analyse data with computers." "Logger Pro is the most popular data- collection program in science and math education because students find our software easier to learn than other data-collection programs." "Students can make copies to use at home and not have to pay extra for that." Quotes from the LoggerPro Website: http://www.vernier.com/soft/lp.html
Vernier LabPro
Exercises Experiment 1: Evaluation of the Gas Chromatograph Experiment 2: Small internal competition Experiment 3: Chromatographic analysis of Petroleum hydrocarbons in soil Mini project Visit to Alcontrol (Quality control lab for Environment and Food testing)
Mini-project Analysis of wastewater for the presence of pharmaceutical drugs Wastewater collected from Strongford Sewage Treatment Works in Barlaston, Stoke-on-Trent Several analytical techniques were used to – concentrate sample (SPE) and – analyse the chemicals (GC/MS) Group lab report
Assessment Formative assessment – Oral presentation on method development (competition) Summative assessment: – Exam, proforma, lab report, class tests – BUT also peer assessment students assess their peers' contribution to the lab report
Peer assessment Form
Self Assessment Form
Feedback from students - Lab Well organized (5) Labs related to lectures and helped my understanding (8) Competition was really interesting/fun (4) Helpful staff and demonstrators (5) Easy to ask questions – got helpful answers Labs were interesting, enjoyable (2) Good step-by-step guidance for the labs, lab scripts well detailed (4) Practicals are always fun (2) Liked using the GC's
Feedback from students - Lectures Good content and organisation (10) Good lectures, high quality (5) Very good teacher quality (2) Detailed/good lecture notes (3) Lots of information available giving wide knowledge of forensic techniques (3) Chromatography and microscopy were interesting (5) Developed on from previous knowledge/skills Visiting the ALcontrol lab helped to get perspective (4)
Assessment Summary YearClass tests Lab report ExamOverall mark # 1 st class 2006/2007 82 students 63.567.746.154.111 (13.4%) 2007/2008 56 students 59.570.242.453.11 (1.8%) 2008/2009 53 students 67.070.250.457.913 (24.5%)

Evaluation Very positive! Students were forced (but in a positive way) to (a) think about and (b) discuss the principles of chromatography Successful incorporation of Level I material in Level II – Developed on from previous knowledge/skills Students enjoyed it!! – Liked using the GC's – Good that we had peer assessment
Next Year?? Further close the gap between exam marks and lab marks (in course assessment) Focus was on chromatography, next year we will try to incorporate mass spectrometry Problem-based learning in addition to Project- based learning???

"We electronically file almost every tax return we do,"
Brian Russell
"Last year more individual returns were filed electronically than by paper and more refunds were returned through direct deposit than through the mail."
Eric Smith
"Electronic filing has been going on for 20 years now. There's no evidence that any return has been lost electronically. That's really a remarkable track record."
"Last year was the first year ever that more people filed an electronic file than a paper return."
Chris Kerns
"Let's say that you decide to electronically file your tax return, but want a paper check issued, you're still cutting your time basically in half by electronically filing your tax return."
Bill Brunson
"If a taxpayer files electronically, he'll get his refund almost as fast as he would with a RAL, and he'll often get it without paying any fees or interest."

The Problem with Autograph AuthenticationAs recently as 1997, the FBI estimated that between 50% and 90% of all collectibles in the marketplace are not authentic. Everyone that cares about the hobby agrees that something must be done. And most think that autograph authentication � paying a third party company to certify that an autograph is real - is a logical solution that benefits everyone involved and eliminates counterfeiting. Last month, we featured a story by a small business owner (and friend of mine) who would strongly disagree with that statement (check it out at http://www.sportslizard.com/article9.php ). He sold a Michael Vick autographed mini helmet on eBay. The buyer sent it to be authenticated by PSA/DNA and, upon not receiving authentication, demanded a refund. My friend stood his ground and denied this request. In my opinion this was the right move � the autograph is real and he cannot set the precedent of letting PSA/DNA dictate his sales. No business owner wants to have to make a decision that will result in an unsatisfied customer, but what was he supposed to do? Give the customer a refund on a perfectly good item because it�s another company�s opinion that the item is fake? That would be even worse for his reputation than an unsatisfied customer! It seems that as collectors we have given authentication companies far too much control over the hobby. Autograph Authentication Kills Small Businesses Consider my friends business for a second � either he himself or one of his associates obtains each and every autograph that he sells in person. He produces a certificate of authenticity that states the date and location of the signing. In today�s industry, this simply isn�t good enough. How is an entrepreneur who wants to form a legitimate autograph business supposed to start out? PSA/DNA is making it virtually impossible for these businesses to get their foot off the ground. When they do start to establish their business, one false positive can ruin their reputation. My friend will have no way of knowing how bad his name has been ruined by this customer who thinks he purchased a fake item. Autograph Authentication Gives PSA, Steiner Sports, and Upper Deck Too Much Control I certainly hope that it is not PSA�s intention to crush small businesses, but the fact that they have the power to do so disturbs me a great deal. Everyone should realize that all PSA is doing is giving their OPINION as to the validity of the autograph. PSA states this on their website in the FAQ section http://www.psadna.com/faq.chtml: Q: Do you guarantee that the autographs you certify are genuine and those you do not are fake? A: No. We do not guarantee autographs under the Vintage Certified program. By using this program, you are paying for the opinion of the top experts in the world, using state-of-the-art examination tools and techniques. The problem with this is that most people don�t treat it like an opinion. For one reason or another people are mislead to treat it like it is fact. And by doing this they give PSA power that they shouldn�t have. Their findings are treated as definitive � if PSA says it�s real then it is real. If PSA says it�s fake then it is fake. It behooves them as a business to scare consumers into believing in their service. We have to ask ourselves the question: is this good for our hobby? Autograph Authentication Means Higher Prices for Collectors Along the same lines, exclusive autograph companies like Steiner Sports and Upper Deck benefit by scaring collectors. By making collectors think that everything that is not exclusive to them is not real, collectors are scared into paying outrageously high prices for their memorabilia and taught that anything reasonably priced is fake. This is just simply not true. So What Should You Do? My Recommendation � get your autographs yourself. It will give you the most satisfaction and there will never be a question of authenticity. However, if you must purchase an autograph, research the signature you are looking for, research the company you are buying from, and find a seller that you trust is selling you something authentic. If in doing this you decide to pay PSA/DNA for their opinion, keep in mind that is what you are getting - an opinion.

NEW YORK -- The self-proclaimed architect of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks says a former Al Qaeda spokesman on trial in New York may have been "an eloquent, spell-binding speaker" who urged attacks on America, but he was not the high-level terrorist that prosecutors allege.
In fact, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who was one of Al Qaeda's top organizers of terrorist operations, portrays Sulaiman abu Ghaith as a little-known figure who would never have been privy to details of upcoming attacks on Western targets.
Jurors may get to hear Mohammed's written testimony this week as Abu Ghaith's trial on charges of conspiring to kill Americans enters its third week Monday in federal court in lower Manhattan.
The statement from Mohammed, who is being held at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was contained in a motion filed Sunday by defense attorney Stanley Cohen, who says Mohammed's words are critical to his client's case and should be presented to jurors as the defense begins presenting witnesses. Prosecutors rested their case Friday.
Abu Ghaith faces life in prison if convicted of conspiring to kill Americans, conspiring to provide material support or resources to Al Qaeda, and providing material support and resources to Al Qaeda.
Prosecutors have alleged that Abu Ghaith's words in his post-Sept. 11 speeches show that he knew in advance of specific plots, including one in December 2001 to destroy U.S. jetliners with bombs hidden in suicide bombers' shoes.
Because Mohammed is being held at Guantanamo, he was not allowed to travel to New York to testify for the defense. Cohen submitted questions in writing to Mohammed on Feb. 19; military officials on March 13 provided the defense with Mohammed's 14-page response, which Cohen in court papers described as "unedited, un-redacted, and unclassified."
Mohammed prefaced his written replies by noting that they were in response to 451 questions covering 34 pages. "It reminded me of the interrogations at the Black Sites and the questions from the dirty team at Guantanamo," he said.
"Black sites" refers to the secret prisons operated by the CIA outside the United States and used to detain accused terrorists deemed enemy combatants.
Mohammed also wrote that he would not agree to give audio or video testimony, even if asked by the defense.
"These answers should suffice," he said.
Mohammed described himself as the head of Al Qaeda's foreign operations, a job given to him by Osama bin Laden that involved organizing "all the jihadist operations" conducted outside of Afghanistan, including the September 2001 attacks.
He said he did not know Abu Ghaith personally and only came to know of him by listening to recordings of sermons that Abu Ghaith had delivered when he was an imam at a mosque in Kuwait.
"I do not recall that I ever met him or saw him at a training camp" in Afghanistan, Mohammed said.
As for whether Abu Ghaith knew in advance of plots to attack U.S. targets after Sept. 11, as prosecutors allege, Mohammed said nobody except Al Qaeda's top security and military officials know such details.
"The operations ... and the plans for them are known only to the leader of the operation and the military and security officials involved," he said. "Those carrying out the operations are not privy to the specific plans until the goal or the time of the operation approaches for fear that the operation will be botched or miscarried."
He rejected prosecutors' allegations that Abu Ghaith's post-Sept. 11 speeches, in which he warned of future attacks on the United States, showed he was part of a conspiracy.
"Perhaps there is another reason" that someone might be given the job of making such speeches for Al Qaeda, Mohammed said. "And that is the rhetorical ability of the person or the strength and discipline of his speech or his literary fortitude – especially if he is an eloquent and spell-binding speaker. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why (Abu Ghaith) was commissioned for this mission."
Mohammed also played down the importance of pledging "bayat," or allegiance, to Bin Laden. One witness for the prosecution has testified that he heard Abu Ghaith discussing the concept of the pledge at an Al Qaeda guesthouse in 2001.
"Swearing bayat does not mean a person is placed on a list to carry out an operation," Mohammed said. "Even the cook has sworn bayat."
Abu Ghaith, who is married to one of Bin Laden's daughters, has been in U.S. custody since March 2013, when he was arrested while traveling from Turkey to Kuwait. He has pleaded not guilty to terrorism charges.
Mohammed has twice testified as a star defense witness for members of Al Qaeda since his capture in 2003.
In 2006, his interrogation summaries were read aloud in the capital murder trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called 20th hijacker in the Sept. 11 attacks, and Moussaoui was spared the death penalty.
Two years later, different statements by Mohammed were read in a military commission trial, or tribunal, that led to the release from Guantanamo Bay of Bin Laden's chauffeur, Salim Hamdan.

National Federation of Press Women
The National Federation of Press Women, (NFPW), is a US-based organization of professional women and men pursuing careers in the field of communications, including electronic, broadcast and print journalism.[1][2] Part of the coalition founding the National Women's History Museum, the NFPW supports literacy and women's rights as well as freedom of information and advocates for First Amendment issues.
The National Federation of Press Women (NFPW) was organized May 6, 1937, when Helen Miller Malloch and other members of the Illinois Woman's Press Association (IWPA organized in 1885), along with women from five other organized states and the District of Columbia, who met at the Chicago Women's Club in order to promote communication between women writers, and advance the interests and standards of women in the press. One of the major concerns of these women was that copyright legislation was not being applied equally to women's creative work.[3] Among the 39 women attending were 24 from Illinois, six from Indiana, nine from Ohio, New York, Michigan, and Washington D.C.. Incorporation of the Federation was effected in 1938 in Illinois. By 1939 nine states had affiliated, including New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Texas,[4] Oregon, and Michigan; and a New England press group. Of these new affiliates, the two oldest were Illinois (IWPA), 1885,[5] and Texas, (the Texas Woman's Press Association) 1893[6] - the only two states organized prior to 1900.[7]
The NFPW conducts annual surveys about women in communications jobs.[8]
NFPW also created its own publication, Press Woman.[9]
Each year the NFPW sponsors competitions to reward excellence in communication.[10] Winners are honored at the NFPW Annual Communications Contest Awards Banquet, which is held in September. The Federation's annual communications contest was established in 1940 during the presidency of Bertha I. Bless of Missouri.[11] The presentation of honor award certificates to national winners and the announcement of the national sweepstakes winner remains a conference highlight. NFPW affiliates throughout the United States have annual communications contests that provide affiliate members an opportunity to compete against regional colleagues in a broad range of categories set by NFPW. All entrants to the national contest are required to be professional, student or retired members of NFPW. Where there is no state affiliate, the member is eligible to compete in the at-large contest.[12]
The NFPW High School Communications Contest honors excellence in student journalism and is the only nationwide communications competition for high school students. Winners at the national level are chosen by winning at the state level first.[13] It is endorsed by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Dow Jones announces first-place winners and promotes the competition in its publication distributed to journalism advisers across the nation, giving students and their teachers/advisers local and nationwide recognition.[14]
Each year, a professional communicator is selected as the National Communicator of Achievement. This program was established during the presidency of Velma Price of Nebraska. The NFPW started the program as the Woman of Achievement award which was first given at the 1957 convention in San Antonio, Texas. The first honoree was Charlotte Paul of Washington. The award was renamed Communicator of Achievement in 1989. Today, the Communicator of Achievement Award is the highest honor bestowed by the National Federation of Press Women upon those members who have distinguished themselves within and beyond their profession.
Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve, the 1975 Woman of Achievement, was an author of 20 books, numerous short stories and essays about Native American life and culture, a member of the South Dakota affiliate, and the recipient of the National Medal of Humanities. The Medal of Humanities was presented by President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton on Dec. 20, 2000, at D.A.R. Constitution Hall in Washington DC.[15]

We had high hopes when we rented this property for our fourth of July week vacation and were not disappointed. You are on a main road, so there is some traffic noise, but we quickly stopped noticing it. The house is centrally located on the island making Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Southwest Harbor and anywhere else you wanted to go a short drive.
The house is very clean, has all the kitchen appliances you need to be able to prepare and enjoy meals with a terrific view of Sommes Sound. It is very comfortable and comes with a dock and kayaks that we used a lot.
I can't say enough good things about this rental. The owner was very responsive and attentive. This is a place I wouldn't hesitate to rent again. If you want to enjoy all that Mount Desert Island has to offer, this is a great location from to do it.
Wonderful view out over the water, with eagles coming every night between 6 and 7. Great to have the kayaks, the water is beautiful and calm. Kitchen very nice, lacks some quality cutlery. Only irritant is the noise from the highway. The view helped make us forget the noise. no air conditioning, but the temperature rarely is hot enough for that to be an issue. Very clean, very good customer service, would recommend to a friend, especially a group of friends. All Bar Harbor activities are easily accessible.
This comfortable and well stocked home in the quiet, historic small town of Somesville was the perfect place to stay, and central to exploring MDI, Bar Harbor, and Acadia National Park. The owner, Wendyl, has furnished and decorated so that visitors feel they are welcome guests in a friend's home. Of course, the view from the breakfast nook bay window drew our attention whenever we were "home". The Alewive's, (a type of herring), were spawning and came into the cove to swim up the fish ladders right outside our windows. As the tide receded each day, we watched dozens of Seagulls, many Ospreys and several Bald Eagles as they feasted on the Alewives that were stranded in the low water. With the binoculars Wendyl provided, we could watch fishermen setting their lobster traps in Somesville Sound.
We also enjoyed our "neighbors", at the Library and Art Studio next door.
If you want to be close to everything, but not in the middle of the crowds, traffic, and commercial/tourist areas on MDI, then you will enjoy this home.
Wendyl was very easy to work with and provided us with all the information we needed to enjoy his home and our vacation in Maine.
The property is wonderful and the setting is perfect. The pictures don't do it justice. If you are planning to visit Acadia National Park I'm convinced there is no better place to stay! Centrally located, you are close to all that the island has to offer. We saw eagles out back constantly (even a bald eagle). We kayaked out a sort distance with Wendyl's supplied kayaks and saw a seal in the cove. We had a fantastic trip and we plan to visit again someday soon! Thanks Wendyl!!!
This is a great vacation rental for your stay on Mount Desert Island near Bar Harbor and Acadia Natl Park. The house is just a few miles from both of them. We loved the views from all the rooms, and the deck. We saw a bald eagle at least once every day, and saw osprey and gulls hunting fish during the low tides! The house itself is clean and well-equipped, and the owner is very pleasant to deal with. Highly recommend!
We greatly enjoyed our stay in Somesville! We felt this house was perfectly located fo easy access to all of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. We ventured as far as Camden and Mahone Bay (my favorite). The house was comfortable and clean.It was a plus to have wifi and to know we could make long distance calls on the house phone (since cell service was nill).The kitchen was well equipped. The house has a great view of the water! The owner was gracious and easy to work with. Much literature about the area was provided in the home. The Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound was a real hit with all four in our party.
Our only disappointment-- no eagle sightings. Maybe it was the time of year.

Military blamed for children's suffering in Central Mindanao
– says interfaith group
October 29, 2008
An interfaith mission deplores the government's all-out war in Central Mindanao for causing trauma and suffering among hundreds and thousands of children. The National Interfaith Humanitarian Mission (NIHM), which traveled simultaneously to Lanao del Norte, North Cotabato and Maguindanao last October 21 to 24, documented cases of children suffering from sickness, malnutrition, and trauma. Children were also killed and injured in bombings and operations.

Kalinaw Mindanao National Alliance for Peace in Mindanao Press Release October 29, 2008 For reference: Atty. Beverly Musni, 0920-989-3390 Military blamed for children's suffering in Central Mindanao – says interfaith group An interfaith mission deplores the government's all-out war in Central Mindanao for causing trauma and suffering among hundreds and thousands of children. The National Interfaith Humanitarian Mission (NIHM), which traveled simultaneously to Lanao del Norte, North Cotabato and Maguindanao last October 21 to 24, documented cases of children suffering from sickness, malnutrition, and trauma. Children were also killed and injured in bombings and operations. The Mission documented the following cases: the deaths of six children in an aerial bombing in Datu Piang, Maguindanao; the killing of a 14-year-old and dumping in a toilet in Poona Piagapo; the wounding of two cousins from artillery bombing in Poona Piagapo, Lanao del Norte and the detention of two children aged 4 and 6 with their father in Lanao del Norte. All these human rights violations were perpetrated by the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Classes have been suspended for two months now due to the war. Public schools such as the Tambo Elementary School, Munai; 4 classrooms of the Romina Cabrera National High School in Brgy. Riverside, Kolambugan, and the Madrasah in Tambo, Munai have been closed and converted into evacuation centers. These cases, according to the Mission, show that innocent civilians, especially children, are casualties of all-out war in violation of international humanitarian law and human rights instruments. It is also ironic, the group says, as these incidents happen in observance of Children's Month this October. The NIHM, spearheaded by the coalition Kalinaw (Peace) Mindanao, will present these cases to the Senate Committee on Human Rights which deputized the Mission, and to other government bodies and the Coordinating Committee for the Cessation of Hostilities (CCCH). But the immediate relief for these children and their families, says Kalinaw Mindanao convenor Atty. Beverly Musni, is for the immediate cessation of all-out war offensives so that the more than 500,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) can return safely to their homes. The military has reportedly blocked families from returning to some villages saying operations are continuing, according to local officials and IDPs. The Mission also called for immediate medical and psycho-social therapy for children, as many in the evacuation centers suffer from poor sanitation, congestion of sleeping quarters and toilets, hunger and communicable diseases. Malnutrition and communicable diseases such as coughs, colds, and impetigo are prevalent. In Munai, Lanao del Norte, a measles outbreak hit 52 children, with nine children dead. But the most severe cases were the three infants (two aged two-months old and one eight-month old) from Tangkal who were suffering for a week from chronic diarrhea and dehydration. The Mission's medical team immediately brought them to the Lanao Provincial Hospital in Baroy for treatment. Two of the babies were born as the war started in their communities. They weighed only 1.5 kilograms each upon admission in the hospital. The mothers of two infants said they did not bring their kids to the hospital, even if there is one in Kolambugan that is 20 minutes away, because they fear going to a Christian hospital.
The all-out war has also left children traumatized. During psycho-social therapy sessions, children aged 7 to 12 expressed in their drawings and role-playing their fear of soldiers, firearms, and bombs. Racial biases deepened among Christian and Moro children after experiences in the armed hostilities. Children have been hit by military atrocities. In Datu Piang, children who were evacuating by boat in Barangay Tee were hit by a bomb dropped by a fighter plane, killing six and injuring four. Two cousins, one 11-years-old and the other 13-years-old, suffered injuries on their hands and feet from artillery shelling in their village in Poona Piagapo last September 28 reportedly fired from Pantao Ragat, the base of the 32nd Infantry Battalion.
In Lanao del Norte, a 14-year-old boy was reportedly hit by bomb splinters and later thrown inside a toilet by soldiers.
The two children of Kabilangan Mala of Munai, aged four and six, were detained with him from September 5 to 7. Mala, a barangay official of Barangay Tamparan, was arrested without warrant by elements of the 10th IB on allegations that he is an MILF member. Mala and his children were detained in the 102nd Brigade in Iligan City and later transferred to the Kauswagan Police Station. The children were released to the custody of a provincial official on September 7 while Mala was released a day after. The Mission went to five municipalities in Lanao del Norte – Kauswagan, Kolambugan, Munai, Tangkal and Poona Piagapo, to Pikit, North Cotabato, Datu Piang and Datu Saudi Ampatuan in Maguindanao.#
The situation in North Cotabato and Maguindanao has deteriorated since renewed fighting between government forces and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) broke out in Aleosan and Midsayap, North Cotabato last Aug. 8.
The Arroyo administration would have the public believe that the renewed skirmishes in North Cotabato broke out following the Supreme Court's issuance of a temporary restraining order on the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MoA-AD) between the Philippine government and the MILF, which was scheduled on Aug. 5.
But based on a radio news report, there had been an encounter in Sitio Maligaya, Brgy. Malamote in Kabacan as early as June 30. This was followed by another firefight the next day in Sitio Tubak, Brgy. Pagangan in Aleosan, in which forces belonging to the MILF's 105th Brigade under Kato clashed with AFP troops.
Before these incidents, there was already massive military deployment to North Cotabato, purportedly to secure the province for the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) elections on Aug. 11.
These clashes led civilians to evacuate to Brgy. Bagolibas in Aleosan and Brgys. Bualan and Nalapaan in Pikit.
Later in July, some of the houses in Brgy. Bual were burned by armed men while a number of farm animals in Brgy. Bagolibas were stolen.
More massive house burnings took place on Aug. 2, in which a total of 84 homes were razed to the ground. Fifty-one of these were in Brgy Bagolibas, 26 were in Sitio Puypuyon, Brgy. Dualing, and seven were in Sitio Taguan, Brgy. San Mateo – all in Aleosan. The government claimed these torchings were perpetrated by MILF fighters led by Kato.
Military offensives intensified following the Aug. 8 implementation of Oplan Ultimatum and military positionings in Pikit, Aleosan, and Midsayap; as well as the dissolution of the government peace panel in the negotiations with the MILF.
Aerial bombings were used with great frequency in North Cotabato. In a statement, the Philippine Air Force (PAF) said that never before have they conducted air strikes as intense as what is now being done in the province.
While the government claims that these offensives are directed against Kato and his group, civilians have not been spared from the effects of the military's attacks; in fact, civilians have been among the targets. They have suffered various human rights abuses, ranging from violations of the right to life to violations of economic, social and cultural rights.
The AFP's offensives have led to mass evacuations. In the evacuation centers, the displaced persons suffer from inadequate facilities. Most of them have set up tents in whatever public place available. With heavy rains and flooding now common at this time of year, many child evacuees are sick with cough, cold, fever, and diarrhea. A number of evacuees have died of disease. There is also the trauma experienced by the evacuees, particularly the children.
The sufferings of the evacuees are compounded by the fact that even the "evacuation centers" are not spared from attacks by the military.
The local government units (LGUs) have virtually lost control of the situation as it is now the military which lords it over the areas affected by the fighting. Barangay officials seeking to help the evacuees are being threatened by the AFP.
Meanwhile, Solicitor-General Agnes Devenadera has said in a press interview that her office cannot sue the soldiers involved in the aerial bombings.
While fighting in North Cotabato continues, the armed confrontations are also spreading toward Maguindanao, leading to more and more displacement of civilians. There is an increasing number of evacuees in Maguinanao province.
In Datu Piang, Maguindanao alone, based on data from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), there are 9,800 family heads with a total of 50,012 dependents as of Oct. 2.
The continuously growing number of evacuees paints a picture of what is now a humanitarian crisis. To say that government support for the evacuees is insufficient is an understatement. LGUs are forced to rely on assistance from various non-government organizations (NGOs) and local and international aid agencies.
Many of the evacuees have been away from their homes for as long as three months, and three months is already a long time for languishing in evacuation centers. But from all indications, their sufferings are not going to end soon. Some local officials believe that if the offensives do not stop, families will remain in evacuation centers well into the new year.
On Oct. 22-23, various groups conducted a National Interfaith Humanitarian Mission (NIHM) to Pikit, North Cotabato and Datu Piang, Maguindanao. The NIHM conducted human rights documentation, psycho-social and medical treatment, and relief operations for evacuees in these two municipalities.
The NIHM was composed of human rights groups, relief workers, church-based groups, doctors, nurses, students, business groups, human rights advocates, peace advocates and various cause-oriented groups.
Human Rights Documentation
The NIHM documented, through direct testimonies from victims and witnesses, cases of forced evacuation, indiscriminate bombings, strafing, torture, destruction of property and livelihood, divestment of property, harassment, illegal arrest and detention and possible extra-judicial killing of a civilian.
At around 9 a.m. on Oct. 21, while harvesting coconuts with his sons from their farm in Sitio Pamalian, Brgy. Dapiawan, Datu Saudi Ampatuan, Maguindanao, Esmael Adam noticed several soldiers on a road leading to their sitio. He sent one of his sons to tell his wife to leave for the nearest evacuation center along with their other children. He also asked the other son to take the carabao to a safe place. The soldiers started firing before the wife and the five children she took along could run to a safe distance. (Their two oldest children were already staying at the evacuation center at that time.) Mother and children traveled across the river by holding on to the banks until they reached the Balubugan Dike in Brgy. Pagatin, Mamasapano. One of the children was almost hit by a bullet during their escape. They proceeded to the Mahad Buayan evacuation center, also in Brgy. Dapiawan. After a few hours, one of the sons arrived at the same evacuation center, pale and stuttering. When asked where his father was, he said Esmael had gone back to the house to check on them. Two days went by without Esmael showing up at the evacuation center. On Oct. 23, the wife received information that neighbors had seen Esmael being tortured and killed by soldiers. They have been barred by soldiers from claiming his body. The relatives tried to recover Esmael's body so that they can bury him decently but the soldiers refused them access to the area.
On Oct. 15, at midnight, soldiers knocked violently on the door of a house in Brgy. Nalapaan, Pikit which had been serving as an evacuation center. They threatened to strafe the house if the occupants failed to open the door within five minutes. The wife of Ustadz Salasal opened the door, whereupon the soldiers, who were carrying bolos, ordered the occupants to lie on the floor face down and beat them up, even stepping on the heads of some of them. The women and children were separated from the men and locked up in a room. The soldiers asked the civilians whether there was anyone upstairs, to which they received a negative answer. They then
dragged Salasal's wife upstairs, where they found Rakman Suleik hiding in the ceiling. They ordered him to come down, dragged downstairs and kicked him as he descended, causing him to fall. His son, 17-year-old Samsudin, was beaten up. The mother of the house owner pleaded to the soldiers not to hurt the civilians, whereupon they inserted a flashlight into her mouth. The soldiers took the Suleiks away and continued beating them up near another evacuation center, where their hands were tied with a rope. After a while, they were brought to the municipal police office in Aleosan, where Rakman learned for the first time that there was a case against him. He is still detained and there is no information on whether or not he has been slapped with any charges. His 17-year old son, Samsudin, was released on October 18.
On Sept. 8, at around 9-10 a.m., Mohalidin Mandi and his neighbors, including a number of children, were evacuating from Brgy. Tee, Datu Piang, Maguindanao as a fighter plane was indiscriminately dropping bombs in the area. They were in two boats, with one boat carrying the children. Because of the children's seating arrangement, the boat that was carrying them ran the risk of capsizing, so they stopped for a while and alighted to switch places. The plane dropped a bomb near the children, killing six of them and injuring four others. Mandi's wife – who was five months pregnant – and father-in-law were also hit and killed, while his son Jamalubin was among the wounded. As he was carrying the bodies to the street, soldiers threatened to kill him and only pleas from civilians prevented the soldiers from doing so. After he had gathered the children's bodies, he made his way back to the river to carry the remains of his wife and father-in-law. The soldiers gave him 30 minutes to do so, after which they would shoot him. He was only able to get his wife's body; he left behind that of his father-in-law out of fear that he would be shot. His father-in-law's body was gathered only in the afternoon of the next day.
These are just a few of the incidents of human rights violations documented by the NIHM in Pikit, North Cotabato and Datu Piang, Maguindanao. There have been deaths due to strafing and aerial bombing. Those who have been "fortunate" to survive these attacks have suffered threats and intimidation, torture, abductions, illegal searches and arrests, as well as divestment and destruction of property.
None of the victims of house-burnings who were interviewed by the human rights documentation teams pointed to the MILF as the perpetrators.
Psycho-social Treatment
As a result of the military's offensives, many children among the evacuees are suffering from trauma – manifested among other things in restlessness and the disruption of sleeping patterns.
The children were asked to share their experiences through drawings, sharing, and role-playing. Most of the drawings were of fighter planes dropping bombs on houses. The children 7-9 years old shared a common observation that the presence of soldiers means "there will be war," while those 10-12 years of age expressed a common fear of guns and are afraid of going back to their communities.
The children feel fear and/or hatred toward soldiers.
The psycho-social activity served a total of 214 children, 131 of whom are in Pikit and 83 of whom are in Datu Piang. Nine of the children were identified for follow-up.
Medical Treatment
The NIHM notes the dire conditions in the evacuation centers the strain this puts on the health of the evacuees.
The medical teams rendered free health services to 192 patients in both areas. Of these, 118 were in Datu Piang and 74 were in Pikit.
About 2/3 of the patients are female and majority of them are in their reproductive age (18-45 years old). Also, about 1/3 of the patients are children.
Various complaints were heard by the doctors during the consultation. In both areas, about 1/3 of the patients were complaining of cough and colds, headaches and fever. Most of the children were also complaining of cough and colds, fever and skin itchiness and infections while most of the adult patients were complaining of headaches, dizziness, difficulty of sleeping, and abdominal pains. Also, in both areas, children were suffering from toothaches and diarrhea.
During the consultations, about 1/3 of the total number of patients were diagnosed to have upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). Tension headache and insomnia were also noted in both areas.
In Pikit, some adult patients were diagnosed to have hypertension and arthritis while in Datu Piang, most of them were suffering from urinary tract infection and abdominal colic. Children in both areas were also having diarrhea and skin infections.
The National Interafaith Humanitarian Mission conducted a relief drive and many organizations and institutions responded and helped in the actual delivery of relief during the mission. Two relief teams were sent to both areas, serving a total of 1,749 evacuees. There were two waves of relief activities in Datu Piang: the first one, conducted in Pikit, Midsayap and Aleosan on September 29-30 had 766 beneficiaries, while the second wave, conducted in Brgy. Tee, and Poblacion in Datu Piang and Batulawan in Pikit on October 22 had 983 beneficiaries.
The military offensives in North Cotabato and Maguindanao are carried out under the pretext of pursuit operations against Kato and his group, but these in reality fall within the context of an all-out war. The policy of "disarmament, demobilization and rehabilitation" (DDR) which is now being carried out by the government shuts the door to peace and leaves all-out war as the main option. The so-called pursuit operations and "surgical operations" being conducted in North Cotabato and Maguindanao are characterized by the excessive use of firepower mainly against the civilian populace.
No military personnel have been called to account for the atrocities against human rights. The military's tactic has invariably been to divert the blame for atrocities on other groups.
The situation in the two provinces continues to deteriorate and has reached the proportions of a humanitarian crisis. As yet, there appears to be no end in sight to the miseries of those who have borne the brunt of the fighting.
In view of these, the NIHM thus puts forward the following recommendations:
that the government immediately put a stop to military offensives and allow the evacuees to return home;
that the issues being blamed as the reason for the escalating conflict be instead addressed in the proper forum, in particular the Coordinating Committee for the Cessation of Hostilities (CCCH);
that human rights violations be investigated and their perpetrators be made accountable; an independent probe can also be undertaken to fully take into account the wide range of human rights abuses that have so far taken place since renewed fighting broke out
that the victims of human rights violations be indemnified and assisted in their rehabilitation; and
that the peace negotiations between the government and the MILF be resumed.
The NIHM will publish a full report on its findings in North Cotabato and Maguindanao and submit these to relevant government agencies as well as international bodies.

Kalinaw Mindanao PRESS RELEASE October 30, 2008 For reference: Atty. Beverly Musni, convenor, 0920-351-0670 P 500M to hunt Bravo, Kato prolonging the agony of 500,000 evacuees– Kalinaw Mindanao There is money for firearms, cannons, bombs, and bullets, but none for rice, medicines, and shelter for half-a-million evacuees in Mindanao. The peace coalition Kalinaw Mindanao decries the government's spending of 500 million pesos in its all-out war campaign calling it irrational, wasteful of public funds, and is prolonging the agony of half-a-million war refugees. The group, which launched a recent national interfaith humanitarian mission in Central Mindanao provinces, said the war has only brought a bigger crisis to Mindanao in the form of 500,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs). Two MILF commanders at the expense of half-a-million IDPs: that is how disproportionate the war is, says the group. And yet, despite quickly mobilizing its resources for war, the government is barely providing relief services to evacuees in 354 villages and has seemingly turned over this responsibility to foreign aid agencies, the group notes. We assert that military spending should be rechanneled to these basic services which government had already reneged on long before the war erupted, the group said. Kalinaw Mindanao, which visited the IDPs in North Cotabato, Maguindanao and Lanao del Norte, witnessed their poor conditions in evacuation centers in schools and gymnasiums.
Congested centers and lack of sanitation facilities and water have resulted to outbreak of illness such as measles and skin diseases among children. Lack of relief and health-care services also contributed to the malnutrition of children. Relief operations for far-flung areas are sometimes blocked by the military due to its operations, as earlier reports said the military once diverted a relief from entering Moro areas. Some families had to budget their three kilos of rice so that they can consume this for a week. The group says that relief and dole outs may give immediate relief, but failing to resolve the issues of conflict will prolong the suffering, and temporary food aid will be for naught. Kalinaw Mindanao calls on the Arroyo government to immediately stop the military offensives and allow the evacuees to return home. They also called on the government to take full responsibility for the rehabilitation of villages destroyed by war and the indemnification of victims. The group's interfaith mission notes that IDPs have set up makeshift tents even in the highways such as in Maguindanao. Others have set up tents in or have occupied madrasahs and public schools. In Kolambugan, Lanao del Norte, four classrooms of the Geronimo National High School were made into shelters for the IDPs. In Poona Piagapo, spaces in the municipal hall have accommodated evacuees. Classes have been suspended for two months now in the municipalities of Munai and Poona Piagapo, both in Lanao del Norte, where public schools and madrasahs are serving as evacuation centers. #

Let's start off by pronouncing this dish...
(And NO, there is no beer in this recipe)
I first had these wonderful meat filled rolls
while in High School. Back in those days, the
"lunch ladies" actually made everything by hand.
I was lucky enough to be a Aid to the Cook.
The talented Mrs. Rippetoe made everything
from homemade rolls to soft and chewy brownies.
These Beirrocks were HER very own special dish.
I never knew how much this dear woman
taught me until later on in life. Some of my favorite
High School memories are of time spend cooking
with Mrs. Rippetoe. I wish she was still with us
so I could thank her, for all she taught me.
So in her honor, I share with you this recipe.
Mrs. Ripptoe's Beirrocks
1.5 lb. Lean Ground Beef
1 Med. White Onion~diced
1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. Black Pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 Head Green Cabbage~thinly sliced
Start by making the Dinner Roll Dough
*you can also use frozen bread dough*
While the dough is rising you will cook the meat filling.
In a skillet brown your meat, onion and seasoning
together. Turn down heat, add the shredded
cabbage cover with lid. You just want the cabbage
to wilt, then remove from heat. DO NOT over cook.
Once your dough is ready, roll out individual
sized pieces of dough. Place a nice helping of
meat filling into the center of one dough.
Cover with another piece of dough,
making sure to pinch seal the seams.
Place on a lightly greased sheet pan
to raise again for another 30 minutes.
(you can sprinkle tops with sesame seeds if desired)
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-18 minutes.
Serve warm.
*These are also very good with Pastrami,or Roast Beef *
I really enjoyed the memories that came
with this recipe. I hope you will take some time
to reminisce a few of your childhood recipes.
Thank You Mrs. Rippetoe,

High Energy Efficiency
The level of thermal performance the envelope provides is directly related to three distinct components which are the R-Value, thermal mass and air tightness. All of these will have a direct effect on the energy efficiency of a home or building. Missing just one of these three characteristics reduces the building performance dramatically. Reward insulating concrete forms (ICF) address all three of the thermal performance properties, which can translate into immense energy savings for the owner.
ICF Thermal Performance Components
R-Value is a measure of the capacity of insulation to impede heat flow- the higher the value the better. Reward's insulating concrete forms (iForm) have a static R-Value of 22; this includes EPS foam, concrete and basic drywall finish. Using the Boost-R Panel can increase the R-Value of the ICF well beyond R30. Also it is important to note ICFs serves as 100% continuous insulation, meaning there are no gaps in the wall unlike batt-insulated walls.
Thermal mass
Thermal mass is concept in building design that describes how the mass of the building reduces temperature fluctuations. For example, when outside temperatures are fluctuating throughout the day, a large thermal mass within the insulated portion of a house can serve to "flatten out" the daily temperature fluctuations. Insulating concrete forms all have concrete in the core which give the wall an incredible amount of mass. Concrete cores size range from as narrow as 4 in. up to 12 inches.
Air Tightness
Air tightness is measuring how tightly the building envelope is sealed, preventing unwanted air movement in and out of the home or building via opening like windows, doors and service penetrations as well as through porous wall materials. Because insulating concrete forms are a solid monolithic wall system there is virtually NO air movement through the wall. ICFs allow the designer or builder to focus more on the flashing around openings and giving better control to the interior environment.
ICF Technology combines the three components of thermal performance by providing high R-value (EPS insulation), great thermal mass (concrete) and low to zero air infiltration (air tightness). No other wall assembly can achieve this level of energy efficiency without additional steps being taken.

This looks like something new yet familiar. Like something I have never seen within myself, but I know it's there. Mostly because other people have them too, but what if some of us don't have these humanly things like organs or ducts or bone? I think I would be happy knowing something beautiful like this lives inside me.
