I don't own very much. Why do I need renters insurance?
Most renters would be surprised to learn how much it would cost to replace every item in their home. Furniture, electronics, clothing, footwear, major appliances, dishes, silverware—the average renter owns a lot of stuff! If you were to lose it all, even a week's worth of clothing and a new dresser could set you back hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.
Download a copy of the Home Inventory Checklist and add up how much you truly own.
Tips for making your home inventory
- Make your inventory as complete as possible. Your insurance company will require a detailed list of your personal property before paying your claim.
- List purchase dates, values, serial numbers, and brand names, if possible. Keep receipts for expensive items.
- Keep a detailed inventory of your clothing and accessories, including shoes and jewelry. Attach extra sheets to your inventory if you need to make longer lists.
- Take pictures and video of each room in your house. Don't forget closets, drawers, storage buildings, the attic, and the garage. Label the pictures and video with the date.
- Keep your inventory, pictures and video, a copy of your insurance policy, and any appraisal reports in a secure spot. Keep a copy in a secure place away from your house, such as in a safe deposit box, at work, or at the house of a friend or relative.
- Save your pictures, videos, and any documents on a computer. It might be a good idea to email them to yourself so you can access them wherever you can log onto a computer. Also consider storing these in a cloud-based storage account.
- Review your policy's personal property coverage limit annually, and be sure the limits are high enough to cover the items on your home inventory. Personal property coverage pays if the items in your house (such as furniture, clothing, and appliances) are damaged, destroyed, or stolen.
- Renter's policies usually offer limited coverage on certain personal property, such as jewelry and furs. You may be able to buy more coverage for an extra premium. Tell your agent or company about any special items you have that you'd like to insure.

Many children, teenagers and adults get braces each year. While braces leave the patient with a straight, beautiful smile, getting braces is a expensive procedure that most families have to prepare for. Developing a savings plan to finance braces is a good idea so that the cost can be paid for upfront. But how do you know how much braces will cost?
Just as each mouth is different, the final figure that you will owe the orthodontist also differs slightly. On avergage, braces cost around $5,000 per patient. However, some patients get their perfect smile for only $3,500 while others have to fork out $7,000. The cost is mostly affected by the type of braces a patient gets: traditional brackets or the newer Invisalign braces.
Traditional braces are often referred to as "railroad tracks" because the metal brackets and wires running across the surface of the teeth give a railroad track appearance. Some patients do not like to look of a lot of metal in their mouth and choose to get brackets that are the same color as their tooth enamel. This feature usually costs about $500 extra. Other patients want to avoid any metal from showing and choose to get lingual or concealed braces. These are special braces that are placed on the opposite side of the teeth (where the tongue is). Installing these braces is harder than installing traditional braces, so be sure to choose an orthodontist with experience working with concealed braces.
A recently developed alternative to metal braces is called Invisalign. These braces are made out of clear plastic that fit over your teeth. Every two weeks, the plastic molds are exchanged for a new set that move your teeth to a new postition. Many older teenagers and adults choose Invisalign because it is a lot less noticeable and can be removed for a short period of time like during meals or special events. The drawback to Invisalign is that it cannot correct major problems with bite alignment. Talk to your orthodontist to see if Invisalign is an option for you. There is no set price for a set of Invisalign braces, but the average cost is about $5,ooo.
Regardless of what type of braces that you choose, the cost will always increase if you do not take care of them. Many foods like popcorn and bubblegum can break brackets and wires, causing an additional trip to the orthodontist and a new piece of hardware. Always discuss the dos and don't with your orthodontist so that you can keep your hardware in good condition.
No matter wich style of braces you get, they are going to be an investment. Insuring that your bite is properly aligned can save you from painful dental situations in the future as well as the benefit of getting a beautiful smile! Talk to your orthodontist forspecific information regarding the cost of braces for your mouth.

A benign cat season, strict discipline over pricing and some canny manouevres by underwriting bosses has left the reinsurance industry flying high. David Banks asks why the analysts remain so gloomy.
There's one thing that is guaranteed to take the gloss off a reinsurance boss's success: knowing that the competitors have all done equally well.
In February, there seemed to be an endless procession of reinsurers unveiling stellar profits for 2009, not to mention excellent takings in the January renewals. There is so much glee around the reinsurers' offices that one could be forgiven for thinking the economic crisis of the past two years had never happened.
Several companies actually posted the best sales figures in their history: Montpelier Re, Axis Capital, Allied World, Endurance, Catlin and Platinum Underwriters all announced record results either for the year or the last quarter. Meanwhile, Hannover Re announced its second-best annual results and Munich Re returned record dividends to shareholders.
So what is the reason for such a buoyant market, and will it continue?
The reasons for the great results appear relatively simple. For starters, most reinsurers have said an unusually benign cat season enabled them to take pristine balance sheets into 2010. But that alone does not make for such healthy figures; there have been several years in the past two decades when low cat figures did not correlate with high returns.
The reality is that benign loss figures and low attritional losses were important adjuncts to a background of helpful factors, notably extreme caution in underwriting and pricing discipline on the back of the financial crisis. Economic uncertainty also served as a good reason to raise rates.
Then there was an unexpectedly rapid improvement in capital market conditions, including recoveries in equity market prices. Fitch points out that reductions in corporate bond spreads bolstered reinsurers' capital positions significantly in 2009, which have now returned to near pre-crisis levels in 2007.
One unusual reason for positive results came from Max Capital's Marty Becker, who says his failed takeover of IPC could be credited for a boost in market awareness of the Max brand. There's clearly no such thing as bad publicity.
But it wasn't all plain sailing, and 2009 called for unique manoeuvres by reinsurance bosses and underwriters. PartnerRe boss Patrick Thiele believes the art of reinsurance management is simply better now than it was 15 years ago. He says managers have a greater focus on cycle management and product diversification, while modelling, risk management and technical pricing have also advanced.
There does appear to have been a common understanding that underwriters had to maintain discipline, as well as prepare for Solvency II and potentially leaner times in 2010.
Despite that, even the best underwriters could only maintain prices in the principal lines and there was generally a modest slip in rates. In cat business, prices went downwards due to low losses and the improved capital resources of primary insurers. The only exceptions to price erosion were in such lines as aviation, space, credit and surety.
Reading the tea leaves
With reinsurers' capital at near-historic peak levels, it might come as a surprise to know that rating agencies in particular are not joining the celebrations. Fitch expects that the large release of reserves in 2008 and 2009 (on business done in 2002-2006) will not continue in 2010. This, coupled with a soft rate environment, "will reduce earnings in 2010" says a Fitch statement on Bermuda-based carriers.
Moody's is also less than positive, saying the continued soft market will place additional pressure on reinsurers' underwriting margins and profitability during 2010. Soft reinsurance pricing, it says, results from both increased capacity and reduced demand. "This soft market could also mean that the credit profile of the reinsurance industry may not be as healthy as current capital levels indicate," a Moody's report says.
"Additionally, in the absence of attractive opportunities on the underwriting side, reinsurers may step up share repurchase activity, which could increase their vulnerability to catastrophe losses."
On the demand side, reduced economic activity and the strained reinsurance budgets of primary carriers have had an adverse impact on reinsurance purchases, says Moody's. It voices concerns about excess capacity and slack demand.
Moody's, which has maintained a negative outlook on the reinsurance industry since September 2009 despite a rebound in the equity markets, believes such indicators for 2010 could have negative implications for policyholders and creditors of reinsurers.
Even reinsurers themselves are restrained about predictions for the year ahead. Munich Re finance director Joerg Schneider says he would be "very surprised if we can repeat such gains this year". On the other hand, Hannover Re still expects a 15% return on equity after expanding its portfolio in the last 12 months.
The final note of warning comes from Lloyds TSB Corporate Markets insurance relationship manager Seb Kafetz, who says investment returns are likely to be much lower, as reinsurers have moved out of equities and hedge funds into bonds and government-backed investments. "In addition, recession-related claims in political risk and specialty classes are likely to increase." GR

Maddox has broken that barrier of the word game.
Let me explain the word game. Basically there's this long period between the first word your child says to where they are actually communicating. During this period your child knows a handful of words. You keep on reading to him, explaining your day... "I'm cooking dinner" "We're eating chicken for dinner" "Mommy is drinking wine". Or using words in sentences... "That's a bird" "The bird flies in the sky" "The bird is blue" It seems like he'll never talk in comprehensible language. You also start noticing that all his friends are talking. They say all kinds of things. You start to wonder and just assume he's a late bloomer. Then as if there was a switch flipped, the words start spewing. He's repeating everything, naming things, using words in sentences, reciting Shakespeare...ok maybe not that yet, but I know it's close. Well Maddox has hit the switch. Right now his favorite thing to say is, "Alrighty". Which sounds a little bit like that dog that says "I love you" AW WI WI. But hey it's a start.

A special adviser to Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo has described as totally illegal a decision by regional leaders over the weekend to prevent the embattled Mr. Gbagbo from accessing funds at the West African central bank.
Ambassador Yao Gnamien, who is currently in Europe to lobby support for Mr. Gbagbo?s administration, told VOA the decision by the regional leaders undermines Ivory Coast?s constitution, which he said is supposed to be the supreme law of the country.
?If you have never been empowered by the highest court in your country, you cannot act on behalf of a sovereign state. In our case, in Cote d?Ivoire, if you have not been empowered by the Constitutional Court, you cannot act on behalf of the sovereign people of Cote d?Ivoire,? said Gnamien.
?We need to adapt our self to this kind of decision and what the whole world must know is that what is going on in Cote d?Ivoire is the beginning of the destabilization of West Africa because Cote d?Ivoire is an essential country within the western part of the [African] continent.?
This came after West African leaders forced the head of the regional central bank to resign, after he defied an order to cut off Mr. Gbagbo's access to funds.
The move is the latest attempt by the sub-regional leaders to force Mr. Gbagbo to step down and cede power to his rival, Alassane Ouattara.
Gnamien blames western powers for the ongoing crisis in Ivory Coast.
?We can say that the ?cold war? is coming back into West Africa because of our raw materials and because they want to control all of us. In Cote d?Ivoire, we can say that we are experiencing once again the cold war, the cold war not based on ideological problem, but [a] financial one,? he said.
?Most of the superpowers, members of the P-5 [five permanent U.N. Security Council members], they want to control the western part of the continent so they are fighting each other through the crisis of Cote d?Ivoire. We can say that they are manipulating the head of state. If they are not careful, it can be like a fire which will burn all of us.?
A statement later read on Mr. Gbagbo?s-controlled Ivorian television appealed for calm and said measures have been taken to ensure the smooth functioning of the country's banking system.
Ambassador Gnamien also said the decision will not, in his words, meet its intended objective, which is to financially cripple Mr. Gbagbo?s administration.

By Cristina Pena
In 1986, my family discovered that I was HIV positive. I was one of only 20 infants in the greater Los Angeles area who had been born with HIV, before we really understood the virus and how to prevent its transmission from mother to baby. As a woman who has lived my entire life HIV positive, National Women and Girls HIV Awareness Day, commemorated March 10, is deeply personal to me.
When you have HIV, your life is never the same. HIV affects every aspect of your life–physically, emotionally and psychologically. When you are living with HIV, you are forever bombarded by doctors appointments, endless blood work, CAT scans, spinal taps, and continuous tests. You learn to base your overall health and activity level on your CD4 T-cell counts, viral copies, and opportunistic infections.
And while antiretroviral medications have proven to be a valuable lifeline, the bitter reality is that these costly medical "cocktails" can cause a slew of side effects that change your life. Nauseated stomachs, headaches, diarrhea, neuropathy, even pancreatitis, can be the trade off for extended years. For some of my friends, the side effects proved to be so debilitating that they decided it wasn't worth it. Some stopped taking their treatment and soon after, they died.
The emotional and psychological burden comes with side effects of its own. When you are living with HIV, insecurity, apprehension, frustration, and outright fear are every day emotions. Being infected changes the way you date and socialize. Will I ever meet someone? If I do meet someone, how do I explain that I'm living with a deadly virus? When do I tell them? Will they reject me when I do? Will I live my life alone?
After more than 25 years of fighting this disease, sadly, the infection rates among women and girls continue to rise. Every 35 minutes, a woman tests positive for HIV in the United States. Today, one in four Americans living with HIV is a woman. And AIDS is now the leading cause of death for black women ages 25 to 34. These statistics are our mothers and sisters, daughters and grandmothers, wives and girlfriends.
The even greater tragedy is that HIV is nearly 100 percent preventable. I've heard all kinds of reasons for the apathy toward this disease that has now infected more then 1.6 million Americans since 1981. Some people simply fail to see HIV as a serious issue or just quickly dismiss the notion that they too, like everyone else, are vulnerable to infection.
It appears we have grown complacent: less careful, less safe. Paradoxically, the incredible progress made in HIV treatment and care, unfortunately has prompted some people to completely disregard HIV as present, transmissible and deadly. The reality is that far too many of us neglect to practice safe sex or talk enough about the risks because we think that HIV is a "manageable" disease.
As a girl I lived birthday to birthday. Now a young woman, I am in a long-term relationship, recently finished college and am moving forward in my career. Women living with HIV can live fulfilling lives. But the bottom line is this: the best medicine for HIV is to not get the disease in the first place. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to be responsible. This means not only being educated, but also practicing prevention and communication with partners. On a day that is meant for women and girls, National Women's and Girls HIV Awareness Day is actually a glaring reminder that we all have the power to remain HIV free. Start by getting tested and educating your community. Empower yourself to stop the spread of HIV. If you do, the only side effect will be a long and healthy life.
Cristina Pena lives in Berkeley, California and is an Ambassador for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. She travels around the country to help raise awareness and advocate for children and families living with HIV/AIDS.

ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. – The Catholic University baseball team started its Landmark Conference play Saturday afternoon, splitting the first two games of the three-game series against Elizabethtown.
Catholic (8-4) took the first game by a score of 6-3 against the Blue Jays, who were picked just behind the Cardinals in the conference preseason poll, finishing second with 43 points.
Infielders Ryan Tracy and Connor Cozad led the way offensively in game one to support starting pitcher Jon Mierzwa, who pitched into the fifth inning to earn his third win of the season. Elizabethtown (4-7) rebounded for a 12-8 win in the second contest.
The Cardinals began the first contest with another hot start, scoring five runs in the first two innings. Tracy doubled down the left field line to get into scoring position in the first, and then sophomore Michael Doody drove him in with a single up the middle to put the visitors up 1-0 early.
Tracy now leads the team with 15 hits in 12 contests.
Familiar faces were involved in the second inning when Catholic scored four runs with five singles. Cozad and Sean Dempsey singled, then Connor Sullivan walked to load the bases. Tracy delivered a 2-RBI single through the right side. Doody and Nolan Lundholm then followed with singles of their own to bring in two more runs.
Senior right-hander Mierzwa held the powerful Blue Jays offense, including 2018 Landmark Player of the Year Derek Manning, to just four hits in the first four innings. He struck out two, walked two, and gave up six hits for three earned runs. The Laurel, Md. native ran into trouble in the fifth frame, but junior reliever Eric Moore finished off the last 2.1 innings to earn a save.
Cozad tacked on an insurance run in the final frame with an RBI triple to put Catholic up by three runs. Moore closed the game out in the bottom half of the seventh for the 6-3 win.
The Blue Jays scored 12 runs on 15 hits in game two to split the home doubleheader. Lundholm stayed hot at the plate with three doubles in the contest. He now has 11 hits in 26 at-bats in addition to ten walks, making an impressive .583 on-base percentage. Cozad had three hits of his own as well, including the Cardinals' first homerun in the ninth inning.
Ross Dean took the loss in the game, giving up three runs on nine hits in 4.1 innings. Four defensive errors hurt the team as Elizabethtown had two four-run innings.
Catholic wraps up the series with Elizabethtown tomorrow afternoon. First pitch is set for noon at Kevin Scott Boyd Stadium.

wow, that lady seemed to not get the point at all. this all seems way over her head. shes just worried that she will lose her job as a snake oil saleswoman.
Why did that woman get to talk for 2 to 3 minutes at a time when she was saying nothing but the same lies we've been told forever. I like how she got terrorism involved in the conversation, it's nothing but lies. It's time for people to stop believing this crap and do something about it.
Too bad Mr. Stroup was cut off at the end. I had the same reaction! Bah!
Good Video ,so now time to find some good seeds even though i live in iowa ,an no med card o well one plant wont hurt cuz its 4 me.Im not someone that would want 99 plants to me thats not for personal id be happy with 6 plants of the finest shit,yr after yr after yr
That woman is the only one living in a fantasy world. We aren't trying to make the cartels pay taxes, we're trying to eliminate them by creating an American market.
Ms Fey, needs to be reminded of prohibition of alcohol, and how the criminal affect went away quickly after it was legalized.
wow that bitch was fucking annoying. Why did the person who knows fucking nothing get the most airtime?
Too bad they wouldnt let Kieth rebut at the end there, I am sure he was about to take the lady from PDFA to task for the 2 minutes of lies she told at the end there.
It's time one of these networks actually gives a full hour of debate because even after 15 minutes so many rebuttals that could have been used were left out. To say that the MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES are FUNDING MEXICAN TERRORISM is crazy, when is the last time a Mexican drug cartel blew up an American building, kidnapped kids from school or when has a dispensary sold marijuana to 'children'….NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER. GOD DAMNIT. I completely agree that we need to prevent children from obtaining drugs of all types, defeat drug cartels and stop the grow houses. The only way to do so is to legalize and control where the source comes from. As the last 35+ years shows the current system of criminalization is a failure at doing so. How many more years and billions of dollars are we going to waste on a system that is corrupt and failed? Not to many because Americans are starting to realize the enept failure of such policies.
thats bogus.. CNN 24 hr news. but not enough time. Why wont they just take that woman and make her support herself by having cnn do a fact check, and when someone is wrong, call them out on it. YOU ARE WRONG!

Tips of Getting the Best Diesel Generators
Ways of living have changed dramatically with people living more comfortably because of the many devices that make operations easy for them to handle. They are majorly the power generating devices that can be taken as the main power sources or supplementary to be used when the main power sources cannot function. Generators are the ones that are the most appropriate because of the features they have and there are many of them made differently with the same work output. One has to choose on the ones that suit them appropriately and can be flexibility in their working. Besides, the generators use different fuel to be powered on and the best ones that are preferred by most individuals are the ones that use diesel.
There are many other essential features that can enable people to arrive at the best kind of the diesel generator. The amount and intensity of the power produced by the generator depends with its size and one can consider it based of the work to be performed. It is in every institution where the generators have been installed to help produce power that is used to carry out functions required and the amount of the workforce will influence the size of the diesel generator to be bought. Small sized generators are only needed to generate electricity that is used in the lighting of a residential home or some other less workforce.
Diesel generators can provide the same service needed but they might be different in the features they have and how they operate. There is the aspect of competition that is present among the many manufacturing companies and they rate their items according to how they operate which makes the prices of the generators for differing and only the affordable ones can be chosen. Every Level and rate of the quality of the devices influence the pricing rate and it is among the individuals to choose from the ones they can be comfortable with.

It is appropriate for anyone desiring to buy a diesel generator to consider all the features that are used in the working process in order to come up with the best.

Alabama's Black Voters Follow Up
An Open Letter to Doug Jones
Dear Senator-Elect Doug Jones,
Congratulations on your historic victory Tuesday night. We were glad to see, based on your nationally televised comments that evening at your campaign watch party, that you are aware of the significant role that Black voters played in delivering your victory. We appreciate the thanks that you've expressed, but we wanted to take a moment to communicate that the best way for you to show your thanks will be through your legislative actions.
Like you, we regret that Roy Moore refused to participate in debates during the campaign. Such debates would have provided an opportunity for you to clarify how you would differ from him and the current Republican majority in the Senate. Unfortunately, we are faced with the challenge of holding you accountable without many specifics on which to base that accountability.
With that in mind, we request that you begin a process of seeking feedback from the community and outlining a prioritized agenda for the remainder of your term. Such discussions should include feedback on how your congressional office is staffed. This process can include listening sessions, town hall meetings, people's assemblies or other mechanisms. Given the abbreviated nature of your term, it is critical that this begin sooner rather than later.
We are not naïve, and we know that in a traditionally red state which you narrowly won, the temptation will be to shift to the right to attract "moderate" Republican voters. Indeed, your television commercial which spoke of the Civil War and compromise spoke volumes. With that in mind, we'd like to remind you of just a few of the things that Black voters who gave you 96% support have no interest in compromising on.
We expect that the Senator from the great state of Alabama which gave birth to the Voting Rights Act, will advocate for its full restoration and, if anything, its further strengthening. The scourge of obstacles such as felony disenfranchisement, Voter ID and other forms of voter suppression are far too common, and we expect you to speak to these issues.
Speaking of felonies, we expect that you will fight for an end to mass incarceration, and resist current efforts by the Trump administration to revisit a drug war that amounted to a war on the Black community.
In a state that has one of the highest poverty rates in the country, we expect you to fight against any tax legislation that benefits the wealthiest individuals in the country while penalizing poor and working-class families. We also expect you to fight for a federal living wage and/or to support local efforts to do the same, such as in the city of Birmingham.
We expect you to defend and expand the Affordable Care Act. And while we understand that you do not control Alabama's utilization of the act and the expansion of Medicaid, we expect you to use your position of influence to ensure that as many Alabamians as possible obtain affordable health insurance.
We like that you believe in science and that you understand that clean air and clean water are essential to our quality of life. We expect you to also recognize and address the disparate impact that these issues have on marginalized communities which are often targets of environmental racism.
We understand that some of these issues and others were mentioned on your campaign website, and that you have promised to "keep fighting for what's right – whether it's popular or not." We are hopeful that you will indeed stay the course, and we only want this letter to serve as a friendly reminder.

The first Pinot produced from our vineyard at Lenswood was in 1996 (1 barrique only). The Pinot vines were first planted in 1992 and, now we have 3 acres planted; one acre each of three clones in our warmest vineyard sites.
First planted was D5V12 which tends to set more crop than desirable, but when rigorously thinned, produces lovely flavours and the vines, although young, are able to fully ripen their tiny crop.
Our one acre produced 4 barriques in 1998 which represents 1.25 tonnes for the acre. (22hl/ha) .
Vintage Description
March 1999 leading up to harvest was about average in warmth but with above average rainfall. Thankfully when harvest occurred on the 6th of April was conducted on a cool overcast day but with no rain. Ripe, dry grapes (13.7 Be) with good natural acid and lovely flavour were picked.
AromaRipe cherry fruit with hints of wild berries.
PalateIntensely flavoured with the fruit elements and subtle oak apparent on the nose carrying through to the palate. Ripe fruit, complex and interesting with many elements. Mouthfilling generosity on the middle palate and a lingering, subtle with a drying tannin on the finish. Generous but not heavy flavour; long and supple.
RegionLenswood, Adelaide Hills
Variety100% Pinot Noir
Oak Maturation15 months in French oak barriques. All from forests in the centre of France. 50% new oak.
The elements are for ageing well are there: freshness and complexity with a firm tannin foundation. I am sure that the wine will develop beautifully. Best drinking 2002 to 2006.
Food Suggestion
Ideal with red meats but can be enjoyed with a wide range of foods or on its own.
Serving Suggestion
Best between 14 and 20°C

A news release from the Country of Los Angeles Public Health: Public Health Collaborates with UCLA and Cal State LA to Prevent Spread of Measles. Excerpt:
LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is working closely with health officials at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and California State University Los Angeles (Cal State LA) to institute a series of actions to limit the spread of measles based on its assessment of the previously identified measles cases. The goals are to build awareness among students, faculty and staff about the risks of measles after a potential exposure to measles, to confirm immunity to measles for those exposed, to provide instructions on what to do if you think you were exposed, and to offer measles immunizations to the broader university community.
In this situation, for those exposed to a confirmed case of measles who could not provide evidence of two doses of measles immunizations or lab verified immunity to measles, a Health Officer Order for quarantine is being issued. Generally, a Health Officer Order ("Order") mandates the exposed person to remain at their residence, to notify Public Health if they develop symptoms of measles, and to avoid contact with others until the end of their quarantine period or until they provide evidence of immunity. Quarantine for measles can be up to 21 days from the date of last exposure, at which time the exposed person is no longer a risk for developing the disease and spreading measles to others.
Both universities are assisting with the implementation of quarantine orders and determining how best to support students who must be quarantined and who live on campus.
Measles is highly contagious. It can stay in the air for up to two hours after a sick person coughs or sneezes and can also stay on surfaces for many hours. About 90% of people who are exposed and not immune to measles become ill 7-21 days after exposure.
Schools are considered high-risk settings for exposure due to potentially frequent and prolonged contact. In accordance with the February 1, 2016, California Department of Public Health Immunization and Screening recommendations for college students, UCLA and CSULA require two doses of Measles, Mumps & Rubella (MMR) immunization OR positive titer (laboratory evidence of immunity to disease) for incoming students.
Two doses of measles immunization are about 97% effective. Thus, getting immunized is the best way to prevent getting and spreading measles. Immunization protects not only the person who receives the immunization but also reduces the chance that measles will spread to family members, coworkers and friends.
Public Health will continue to communicate with schools, health care providers, health plans, local governments, and elected officials to provide updates on the measles outbreak and actions they can take to help prevent the spread of measles and support the countywide response.

Sometimes the unimaginable happens and you are forced to draw from a strength you did not know you possessed. That is what happened to me at the end of February 2011. In the span of one hour's time, I learned that my pregnant daughter's baby had died in her womb and that she had a life threatening disease, AML a particularly aggressive form of leukemia. My life came to a crashing halt and the unreal became my reality. It was truly a time where I took things one day at a time because I could not afford to look any further ahead than that. The future was so uncertain that I was forced to live in the present. I had always heard that living in the now was the way to live and I found that in this crisis I had no other choice. It was a matter of survival and each day when I woke up I told myself that yes I could get through one more day.
The outpouring of love and prayers from family, friends, and even strangers touched by our story held me up and got me through the days when I thought I could not put one foot in front of the other. The roller coaster ride we were on was unbearable at times as our daughter's life was what was at stake but faith got me through as I posted positive affirmations all over her room. "I am healed." "Love" "Smile "and pictures of her at her healthiest were what greeted doctors and nurses when they entered her room. I kept all negative talk about her condition outside the door as I knew she needed every ounce of hope to survive.
When one of my husband's employees survived cancer, he had given my husband a sign he had made in gratitude for the support my husband had given him. My husband put this sign in my daughter's room and we all focused on it on the days we needed that extra strength. The sign said one word….Believe. And we did. Day after day we believed that our daughter would heal. Day after day we drew our faith and our courage from that sign. When my daughter was released, we brought the sign home and when she returned for her bone marrow transplant that sign came with us and stood prominently in the room. Believe…..I can tell you without a doubt that this word created miracles for all of us. Believe…such a simple word but the power it held for us was boundless.
Today I am happy to report that my daughter is doing remarkably well. She is mourning the loss of her child but her healing has been nothing short of miraculous. There is no doubt in my mind that the affirmations, faith and that believe sign kept us all going and created the miracle we so desperately needed.

The GingerCloud Foundation and The Classic Wallabies last Saturday hosted their Modified Rugby Program Showcase and Star Outdoor proudly played a key part in supporting the event with their signage requirements.
The program is a new, modified form of touch-only rugby, developed by GingerCloud Foundation, where each boy and girl with a learning and perceptual disability has their own club PlayerMentor on the field supporting them.
A number of MRP exhibition matches took place on the day with many excited children participating in games. The highlight of the day was seeing the first ever Classic Wallaroos match against Brothers women in a game of 10s with the Brothers team taking out the win.
Congratulations to the GingerCloud Foundation and The Classic Wallabies on a successful day of celebrating the inclusive power of rugby and continuing to advocate for children with disabilities.

Welcome to the fourth annual convening of the collaborative effort towards impact investing and conscious capitalism known as Gratitude Railroad. Featuring conversations with thought leaders, proposed portfolio companies, impact investment funds and advisors, NGO's, academics and an inspiring community of investors.
Join us for an intimate mountain retreat to connect, learn and drive impact into investment across asset classes. Held at iconic Deer Valley Resort, we're curating a diverse gathering of 100+ investors, entrepreneurs and ecosystem partners in a gathering of investment opportunities that deliver top tier returns while helping to solve social and environmental challenges.
Gratitude Railroad is a community of investors committed to helping solve environmental and social problems through the profitable deployment of capital into conscious businesses.
We are happy to host alongside Toniic, a global action community for impact investors. Toniic has a vision of a global financial ecosystem which operates to create positive social and environmental impact. It's mission is to empower impact investors, including family offices, individuals and institutions, both industry leaders and newcomers, committed to investing $4.5bn into impact and sharing best practices with its peers.
* Lodging Inquiries: We've reserved the entire Silver Baron Lodge for guests at Deer Valley. Please reach out to Allison Singer for reservations: firstname.lastname@example.com *
Hosted by Toniic, Gratitude Railroad Retreat select guests are invited to participate in a 100% Impact Network Gathering. This event is for asset owners and accredited investors interested in the alignment of a portfolio to 100% Impact. Unfortunately this event is not open to asset managers, advisors, and fund managers. Please do not hesitate to reach out to email@example.com and email@example.com if you have any questions.
Despite tremendous growth in the area of "conscious capitalism," the argument over whether impact investing can achieve market rate returns continues – and continues to inhibit the flow of capital into these types of investments. Many investors, particularly in the institutional space, still believe that a focus on impact means giving up financial returns. What steps can be taken to unlock the potential of this asset class to generate market rate returns in the pursuit of meaningful social and environmental impact?

On June 16 and 17, Audi would be celebrating a prestigious success with a hybrid vehicle, the R18 e-tron Quattro, that could be winning the Le Mans 24 Hours for the first time. The vehicle combines quattro all-wheel drive and electrified drive to create a technological synthesis made by Audi.
Within 1981 and 1997, the automaker won four titles in the World Rally Championship with quattro models. It also had a championship win in the TRANS-AM and clinched three victories at Pikes Peak, two DTM titles and eleven national Super Touring Car Championships and a Touring Car World Cup. Now, an all-wheel drive model can compete in the FIA's circuit racing program for the first time since the ban in 1998.
However, what sounds like a simple comeback has been one of the largest endeavors ever made by Audi Sport so far. Due to space conditions, having a hybrid system and an additional front-wheel drive into a sports vehicle can be particularly difficult. With a length of 4.65 meters and a width of two meters, the vehicle has huge outer dimensions. With system partners' support, the automaker has produced a particularly compact motor generator unit (MGU) on the front axle.
During energy recovery, which is fully electronically controlled, drive shafts send out energy to the MGU where it is converted into electric power during braking periods. The principle is similar to the common dyno without the extremely high energy flows.
Converters merged into the housing change this energy from changing into direct current which in turn drives a rotating mass storage device. The energy is stocked up by the current accelerating this carbon fiber flywheel, which runs in a high-vacuum to as much as 45,000 revolutions per minute. After cornering, the energy is available again to run the electric motors of the MGU unit, which in turn, run the front wheels. Up to 150 kW of short-term power or 204 HP is available to be supplied for the front axle.

Fried chicken is a southern staple in the US. It's also an extremely popular food in the Black community. So, I've had my fair share of fried chicken over the years, pre-vegan. When I went vegan, it was crazy to experience fried « chicken ». I couldn't believe (and still can't believe) that I was having something that I couldn't ever imagine being able to enjoy as a vegan. I know I haven't had even a modicum of the fried « chicken » that so many brilliant vegan chefs and minds have created, but I wanted to contribute in some small way by making my own version of something that could easily be made at home. It absolutely mimics the flavor of fried meat… is it as good as the fried chick'n I've tried so far? That's debatable. Is it healthier that any fried chick'n I've tried so far? Also debatable. Did I make several test batches and eat most of them in one sitting, by myself? Abso-frickin-lutely.
ATTENTION: This recipe requires 24 hours of prep time! Please plan accordingly!
What You'll Need:
For the Dry Batter:
- 2/3 cup all purpose flour (gluten-free flour can also be used)
- 3 tbsp seasoning salt
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp parsley
Wet Ingredients:
- 4 flax eggs: about 3 tbsp water + 1 tbsp flax seeds = 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Other Ingredients:
1 package of extra firm, organic tofu
What to Do:
- Freeze the entire pack of extra firm tofu overnight, or for at least 24 hours until fully frozen.
- Take the tofu out of the freezer and let it thaw fully– you can speed up the thawing process by placing the package of tofu in a bowl of hot water. Most of the time, I took it out before leaving in the morning, letting it thaw until I returned home for the day.
- Once tofu has fully thawed, open package and drain of water completely.
- Wrap the block of tofu in a thin cloth or with a few paper towels and press the tofu of any additional water for about 3-5 minutes. While the tofu is wrapped up, use a tofu press or something with weight to help drain the excess water.
- After pressing, let the tofu sit for an additional 15-20 minutes to air dry (I know, this recipe requires a lot of prep time, but it's worth it! :-)). The tofu should be as dry as possible– this is very important, otherwise the water will seep out and change the flavor of the fried strips.
- Slice the tofu once down the middle horizontally while it is laying flat. Keep the two pieces together and slice the tofu vertically 4-5 times. You should have 8-10 evenly sliced tofu strips.
- Set tofu strips aside and prepare the flax eggs. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the ratio of water with flax seeds (3 tbsp:1 tbsp) x4 to create 4 flax eggs. Whisk together with a fork. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to thicken. You may need to add an additional 1/2 to one tbsp of water if the mixture becomes too thick (you want it to be slightly slimy).
- While the flax egg is thickening, prepare the dry ingredients to create the fry batter. In a large bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, dried parsley and seasoning salt. Whisk together thoroughly until well mixed.
- Placed the entire amount of the vegetable oil in a medium-sized frying pan (a large pan can be used, but may cause the oil to be too shallow– add about 1/8 cup more oil if using a large pan).
- Heat the oil over medium heat (about 3-5 minutes; test by dropping a very tiny water droplet in the oil to see if it sizzles– DO NOT stand over the oil when testing if it's hot); while oil is heating, check the flax eggs. Remember, they should be only slightly gelatinous and a little slimy– not too thick.
- Create an assembly line of flax egg then the dry batter mixture, then the frying pan.
- Gently place one tofu strip into the flax eggs and turn to lightly fully coat. I used one hand for the flax eggs and one for the dry batter so that the dry batter didn't become too clumpy in the bowl and on my hand as I continued to dip strips.
- Gently bring the coated strip over to the dry batter and fully coat.
- Gently bring the strip over to the frying pan and place it on one side of the pan.
- Place about 3-5 strips of coated tofu into the frying pan, about 1/2 inch apart.
- Fry each piece for approximately 4-5 minutes on one side, turn the strip over and fry that side for an additional 3-5 minutes.
- Use tongs to gently remove each strip, and place it on a dish or in a container that has been lined with thin clothes or paper towels to drain the strips of excess oil.
- Let cool for several minutes, then, transfer to a serving dish.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, serve and enjoy! These strips taste amazing with my tangy aioli– you can find that recipe here.

Its new flagship Android phone, the Galaxy S III, is teeming with features aimed at humiliating the iPhone. It's like a boxer entering the ring with ceramic body armor and semiautomatic weapons.
The question is, Does it all work together to create a masterpiece? Or is it a heap of chaotic spaghetti?
The Galaxy S III is available from all four major carriers in the United States — Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile ($200 for the model with 16 gigabytes of storage, with a two-year contract). It runs on each carrier's fastest data network — 4G LTE, for example.
The first thing to know: This phone is huge. Its 4.8-inch screen is a broad canvas for photos, movies, maps and Web pages. But you can't have a big screen without a big body, and this one is more VHS cassette than postage stamp. It's the old trade-off: A big phone is better when you're using it, but a small one is better when you're carrying it.
Still, once Samsung decided to incorporate a Jumbotron, its designers did a spectacular job designing a case around it. The back is glossy plastic (white or dark blue), rounded at all edges and corners. It's superthin — 0.34 inches, even thinner than the iPhone — and feels glorious; when you're nervous, you can rub it like a worry stone.
Samsung may not call it a Retina display, but the screen actually has more pixels than the iPhone's, 1,280 by 720 pixels versus 960 by 640. It's nearly as sharp, too: 306 pixels per inch instead of 326. It's an Amoled screen: bright, vivid and relatively energy-efficient.
The Galaxy has a removable battery and a memory-card slot — take that, Apple! It runs the latest version of the Android operating system from Google (4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich). The camera on the back takes bright 8-megapixel photos, although they're not very sharp.
More important, the S III's designers have married hardware with software to create dozens of truly ingenious, handy features. On the iPhone, Apple would probably crow about any one of these:
1. Smart Stay. The phone's front-facing camera looks for your eyes. When you look away, the screen dims to save power; it brightens back up when you return your gaze. Brilliant.
2. Buddy Shot. The Galaxy's face recognition software knows whose face is in the scene. The first time you take a photo of someone, you can type in the subject's name — your mom, for example. Thereafter, whenever you take her photo, one tap sends it to her without your having to fuss with entering an address.
3. Direct Call. If a texting conversation is getting too complicated, just lift the phone to your ear. It calls your texting partner, no taps needed.
4. Tap to top. Swat the top edge of the phone to jump to the top of a list.
¶ Tilt zooming. With two fingers on the screen, tip the phone toward you and away to zoom in and out of a photo, map or Web page.
5. Instant muting. Mute audio and video playback by covering the screen with your hand, as though to say, "Shhhh!" Mute incoming rings and notifications by turning the phone face down on the table — in a meeting, for example. That's just so, so smart.
6. Palm swipe capture. Save an image of the screen by wiping the edge of your hand across it, as though you're the scanner of a photocopying machine.
7. Answering key. You can answer an incoming call by pressing the Home button, and hang up by pressing the on/off button. No need to look at the screen.
All of these features are optional — you turn them on in Settings.
There's another crazy-great idea in TecTiles: small, embedded-circuit stickers ($15 for five). When your phone gets near a sticker, it activates some task that you've selected from a list of dozens in the free TecTiles app: make a call, send a text, adjust a phone setting and so on.
A TecTile on your dashboard could turn on Bluetooth when you get in the car. A sticker on your bedside table could turn the phone's alarm on. This is fun, useful, outside-the-box thinking.
Not all of the breakthroughs are winners. For example, Samsung makes much of S Beam, which lets you transfer a photo, video or some other file to another phone just by tapping their backs together.
Unfortunately, setting it up is more work than assembling an Ikea dresser. Both phones must be Galaxy S III's, both must be on and unlocked, and both require the right services turned on in Settings — Wi-Fi Direct and S Beam. By the time you've gone to all that trouble, you could have just e-mailed the darned thing.
Another example: In addition to the standard Android speak-to-type feature, the Galaxy offers something called S Voice — a direct copy of Siri on the iPhone.
In addition to the usual Siri functions ("Call Mom," "Navigate to 200 West 68th Street," "How tall is Mount Everest?"), you can also use it to open apps ("Open Calculator"), adjust settings ("Turn off Wi-Fi") and make notes to self ("Record voice"). You can also handle calls by voice ("Answer" or "Reject"), shut up your alarm ("Snooze" or "Stop") and, delightfully, even control the camera ("Shoot" or "Cheese!").
In practice, you'll probably wind up S-chewing S Voice. Not only is her required syntax far more restrictive than Siri's, but in my tests, S Voice just doesn't work well.
Me: "Make an appointment with Charlie, Thursday at noon." Her: "An unexpected server error occurred. Please try again."
Me: "Turn Wi-Fi off." Her: "What app do you want to open?"
Me: "Turn Wi-Fi On." Her: "What Tom."
Me: "Record voice." Her: "Network error. Please try again."
More disappointments: There's no physical camera-shutter button — you can't even use the volume key for that purpose, as you can on the iPhone.
And it's goofy that, after you take a photo, the Share menu offers one-tap access to things called Group Cast, ChatON and Flipboard — but the far more commonly used options, like E-Mail and Text Message, are hidden in a submenu.
There are three illuminated touch buttons beneath the screen: Menu, Home and Back. But after a few seconds, the light turns off to save power, leaving only a completely dark, black strip. Now you have to guess where those buttons are. You'll quickly learn where to tap, but still.
The thing is, those are very small flies in some really great ointment. The Galaxy S III is an amazing, amazing phone — the crème de la Android. For many people, the next question is: Samsung or Apple?
The Samsung is infinitely more customizable. You can control which status icons appear at the top (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, clock and so on). You choose which of the camera's 40,000 options appear on the viewfinder screen. You have a choice of text-input systems, including one where you drag your finger across the on-screen keys. A bar-graph screen reveals exactly how much battery charge is being gulped by each app. And so on.
Of course, with great flexibility comes great complexity. The phone bombards you with warnings and disclaimers — sometimes upside-down. You really need a Learning Annex course to master this thing.
With an iPhone, you get far less control, but you get the Apple ecosystem: a smoothly integrated app/music/movie store. Universal charger connectors that show up in cars and hotel rooms worldwide. Hardware and software that were designed together, so features look and work consistently.
But in Samsung's latest and greatest machine, you get 4G Internet speed, a huge screen and clever motion-sensing features — in a thin, stunningly sculptured slab. In the galaxy of app phones, this one is a bright, beautiful star.

Denver, CO, July 15, 2015 - eBags, Inc. Board of Directors appointed Mike Edwards as President, Chief Executive Officer, and member of the Board of Directors effective immediately. He also joins the company as a new investor. Edwards most recently held the position of Executive Vice President of Global Merchandising for Staples, Inc. (SPLS), the $22 billion global office products company.
"There is no better person to lead eBags than Mike Edwards," said Jon Nordmark, co-founder and Chairman of the Board of eBags, Inc., which also owns Handbags.com. "Mike is a proven leader with outstanding merchandising, marketing and omnichannel skills. He's a visionary, adept at working in companies from $7 million to $22 billion in revenues.

"I am excited to lead the talented eBags' associates during the next stage of success for the company. In addition, I am passionate about the bag category and travel space, and look forward to eBags continuing to provide the best customer experience in the industry."
As an investor in lucy activewear, and as its President and CEO from 2004 to 2007, Edwards spearheaded lucy's development. He led the reinvention of the specialty retailer, taking it from 10 stores without ecommerce to more than 60 stores and a successful web business. lucy grew from $7 million to over $50 million in sales during a three year period. Ultimately, Edwards spearheaded the VF Corp (VFC) acquisition of lucy for $110 million. lucy was the ICSC "Brand of the Year" winner with J Crew.
Until recently, Mike served as the Executive Vice President for Staples, responsible for the merchandising strategy and new business development, assortment planning, as well as vendor programs for the retail, online, and contract sales divisions. Over three years, Mike helped expand Staples assortment from 33,000 to 1.5 million SKUs and formed partnerships with world-class brands like Apple and Bose. He also managed the innovation teams supporting divisions in 26 countries and the global private label group which generated over $5 billion in sales.
Prior to Staples, Edwards joined Borders in September 2009 as Executive Vice President, Chief Merchandising Officer, and was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of Borders, Inc. and President, Borders Group, Inc. in 2010 through 2011. For his ability to handle a challenging restructuring, Mike received accolades from his team and vendors for his leadership and integrity.
After graduating from Drexel University where he currently serves on the board of the Close School of Entrepreneurship, Edwards has served in operational and executive roles at May Company, Golfsmith, CompUSA, Target, and as part of a turnaround team that transitioned JoAnn Stores from bankruptcy to profitability. Edwards' awards for his work in retail include recognition as a finalist for the prestigious E&Y Entrepreneur of the Year award, which eBags won for the Rocky Mountain Region. He currently serves on the boards of PrestoBox, Muttropolis, and 3DLT.com.

Yes. I enjoy my alone time. I love going out by myself as much as I enjoy spending time with family and friends. When I am interested in something I go for it even if it means doing it alone.
Maybe I used the wrong word when my date asked me to describe something interesting about myself. I was somewhat shocked when his response began with "well that's a problem…"
I thought to myself, being independent is a problem? You said just a few moments before that you would not date a woman if she wasn't ambitious. Don't the two go hand and hand. How can you be ambitious when you don't take initiative, even if it means doing it alone, because no one else cares.
I don't pretend to be someone I'm not, even on a first date. So yeah, I was independent yesterday, I am independent today and will be every other day that the Lord allows me to be. It's in my genes.

Dragonfly Studio is the name for my custom graphic design business.
I am a freelance designer specializing in printed media. This website is a humble 'home' for my business online and although I have been fortunate to require little marketing in order to secure client projects, it's always helpful to be able to learn about the people you are working with.
So, here I offer a few answers to common questions and provide a means for contact and further inquiry.
Currently, my work consists of original logo creation or rebranding, marketing materials (business cards, stationery, brochures, flyers, ads and posters, etc.). I also enjoy being asked to create menus for local restaurants, signs for events, wine labels, original artworks and commissioned pieces of art as well.
Although my specialty is in printed media, I enjoy working directly with web designers, print organizations and other professional businesses to provide you with a comprehensive collection of brand materials.
If you would like to see some of my work, please don't hesitate to contact me here. I will gladly provide links to portfolio work as well as client testimonials and examples of solutions for past clients.

Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan, one of the most awaited movies of the year released today on 17th July 2015. This is what the superstar has offered to his fans on the occasion of Eid. On the other side, the fans have taken it with both hands. This is the reason, the film went almost houseful at all the theatres.
The fans and the B-Town have marked it as the best of Salman Khan until now. It is based on the theme to improve Indo-Pak relations. There is no doubt that Bajrangi Bhaijaan 1st day collection is going to be massive.
All the cinema halls got flooded with viewers as they rushed for 'first day, first show' mania. Mostly including celebrities who have seen it already appreciated it.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan is the first film by the Bollywood superstar since getting sentenced for 5 years because of being found culprit of infamous 2002 hit and run case. The film is getting loads of positive reviews and responses. The business is likely to increase in the first weekend.
"Salman's films have always been superhit. The first show at our cinemas started at around 12 p.m. to 12.30 p.m. and all our theatres were pre-booked 100 percent. All the shows are going houseful and same is expected over the weekend. The film should come out as a blockbuster pan-India, Piyush Raizada, director, Delite Cinemas, told IANS.
The film is released on over 4500 screens all across India. The Dabangg actor seems to have utilized the holy occasion of Eid to the fullest once again. Eid is to be celebrated on Saturday.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan 1st Day Collection
The COO of PVR Cinemas, Deepak Sharma stated that the film not only received wonderful opening, but also got about 25% seats prebooked. It witnessed a whooping 80% occupancy rate on an average.
"We have not received the total collection yet, but the film is doing really well. Also, the advance booking is great for the whole weekend. It looks that the film will complete Rs.100 crore in first weekend itself." – Deepak added.
The directorial venture of Kabir Khan starring Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan with Nawazuddin Siddiqui is based on a simple story of a Hindu man (devotee of Lord Hanuman), who takes responsibility of taking a mute Pakistani girl to his home. It has all the adventures and experiences of his journey.
The film has created its buzz to a great extent since the release of its first look poster. It was taken to another level when the superstars of Bollywood industry like Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan appreciated and shared it on Twitter.
The trade analyst Komal Nahta stated that Bajrangi Bhaijaan experienced houseful shows in numerous cinema halls located in populated areas of Jaipur, Indore, Jabalpur, Gwalior and Ahmedabad.
The occupancy rates for the evening shows increased even more. Thus, suggesting it a hit already.

H.H. Voremberg was born on Apr. 20, 1933 in Dresden, Germany. Within a few years, the Jewish family became victims of the Nazi regime. When he was about four-years-old, his father was taken to Buchenwald prison camp and held there two or so years. After his release, the family of three escaped to Amsterdam, Denmark where they boarded the S.S. Rotterdam for New York City. HH's constant companion, except for his parents, was a teddy bear named Robbie, which inspired a book called Robbie: A journey of hope.
From there, the Vorembergs started a second journey, traveling from New York to Longview, Washington where Herbert attended the local schools and they thrived until they moved to Portland, Oregon. HH later attended the University of Oregon, but in his senior year he left school and joined the U.S. Army. He spent two years as a soldier in North Korea.
After coming home, he met Linda Long and they married in 1959. Their only child, Lisa, was born in 1962. The family settled in Portland where Herbert started his first advertising agency. Later, HH moved his family to St. Louis, MO where he started another advertising agency. He remained there until retiring.
HH and Linda enjoyed traveling through many states including Hawaii. After both HH and Linda were retired, they settled in Scottsdale. Herbert was active in several community activities – Kiwanis, Chamber of Commerce, and he was "Nick" of Nick & Suzy, restaurant reviewers for the Foothills Sentinel/Foothills Focus. At the age of 84, HH died of a sudden heart attack on May 19, 2017 at his Winfield home.

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has publicly acknowledged the supposedly covert CIA drone program.
While media outlets and some government officials have publicly admitted the program, the CIA has denied a Freedom of Information Act request made by the ACLU about details of its targeting killing program.
But Clapper indirectly acknowledged the CIA program at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Tuesday during an exchange with Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), as the Wall Street Journal first reported.
Nelson, who thinks the drone program has been "exceptionally precise" and refuses to believe reports that the strikes have left a high number of civilian casualties, asked Clapper if it was true that the administration was considering shifting the use of drones from the CIA to the Department of Defense.
Never Miss a Beat.

"Yes, sir, it is. And again, that would also be best left to a closed session," Clapper responded.
UK-based charity Reprieve has referred to the CIA drone program as "the death penalty without trial, and the new face of state lawlessness in the name of counter-terrorism."
The exchange, which happened around two hours into the hearing, can be seen below in the video from C-SPAN:

We all know about Nepal Earthquake incident. It's a natural disaster caused by the nature.So many people lost their lives and livelihood in such mishap. A disaster is defined as an accident which causes great damage or loss of life. Disaster may be caused by nature, humans, management etc.
Earlier the day was named as International Day for Natural Disaster Reduction. The United Nations has started observing a day to raise the profile of risk of disaster reduction. It was decided by UN on 22nd December, 1989 that the second Wednesday will be observed annually as International Day for Natural Disaster Reduction. Later on 21st December 2009, it has been decided to designate 13th October to celebrate the day and the name of the day has been changed to International Day For Disaster Reduction. It encourages people to participate in building more flexible communities and nations. This day is a global observance and not to be celebrated as a public holiday.
Various activities like media announcements and campaigns are launched to focus on the day's designated theme. Also competitions in drawing, essay, drama and photography are arranged to make people aware of natural disaster reduction and increasing their preparedness for such adverse situations. There are also some other activities held such as conferences, tree planting fairs, street parades and seminars. All these activities raise awareness of how people are taking action to reduce their risk to disasters.
This year the emphasis will be on older people. The day focusses the inclusive approach for older people in risk of disaster reduction. It concentrates on the crucial role they can play in better planning and understanding risk reduction.
