CAIRO (Reuters) - Seven peacekeepers were killed and 17 wounded when they came under heavy fire from gunmen in Sudan's strife-torn Darfur region on Saturday, the peacekeeping force said, the worst toll from a single incident since their deployment in 2008.
Law and order has collapsed in much of Darfur, where mainly African tribes took up arms in 2003 against the Arab-led government in Khartoum, which they accuse of discriminating against them.
Violence has surged since January as government forces, rebels and Arab tribes, armed by Khartoum early in the conflict, fight over resources and land. Peacekeepers often get attacked when they try to find out what is happening on the ground.
A large group of unknown gunmen attacked a patrol in an area in South Darfur where peacekeeping is the responsibility of Tanzanian forces, the African Union/United Nations-led UNAMID force said. Reinforcements managed to rescue the peacekeepers after an "extended firefight".
Two of the 17 wounded soldiers and police officers were female, UNAMID said. It did not give nationalities but a U.N. source said most casualties were probably Tanzanians.
The area is close to Nyala, Darfur's biggest city, where competing security forces fought for days last week, looting the main market and offices of aid agencies, witnesses said.
Diplomats say the more than 16,000 peacekeepers are struggling with equipment problems, poor training of some contingents and the reluctance of some governments like Egypt to send their soldiers into dangerous areas.
The force has no joint command, which hampers coordination and rapid deployment to hotspots.
Around 300,000 people have been forced to leave their homes in Darfur this year by fighting, according to the United Nations.
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir and some aides on charges of masterminding war crimes in Darfur. They deny the charges and refuse to recognize the court.
Reports from Darfur are hard to verify as Sudan severely restricts travel by journalists, aid workers and diplomats.

How to turn the U.S.-Mexico border into a war zone.

By Todd Miller
By arrangement with TomDispatch
The first thing I did at the Border Security Expo in Phoenix this March was climb the brown ?explosion-resistant? tower, 30 feet high and 10 feet wide, directly in the center of the spacious room that holds this annual trade show. From a platform where, assumedly, a border guard would stand, you could take in the constellation of small booths offering the surveillance industry?s finest products, including a staggering multitude of ways to monitor, chase, capture, or even kill people, thanks to modernistic arrays of cameras and sensors, up-armored jeeps, the latest in guns, and even surveillance balloons.
Although at the time, headlines in the Southwest emphasized potential cuts to future border-security budgets thanks to Congress?s ?sequester,? the vast Phoenix Convention Center hall ? where the defense and security industries strut their stuff for law enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ? told quite a different story. Clearly, the expanding global industry of border security wasn?t about to go anywhere. It was as if the milling crowds of business people, government officials, and Border Patrol agents sensed that they were about to be truly in the money thanks to ?immigration reform,? no matter what version of it did or didn?t pass Congress. And it looks like they were absolutely right.
All around me in that tower were poster-sized fiery photos demonstrating ways it could help thwart massive attacks and fireball-style explosions. A border like the one just over 100 miles away between the United States and Mexico, it seemed to say, was not so much a place that divided people in situations of unprecedented global inequality, but a site of constant war-like danger.
Below me were booths as far as the eye could see surrounded by Disneyesque fake desert shrubbery, barbed wire, sand bags, and desert camouflage. Throw in the products on display and you could almost believe that you were wandering through a militarized border zone with a Hollywood flair.
The result, Senator John McCain proudly said, will be the ?most militarized border since the fall of the Berlin Wall.?
To an awed potential customer, a salesman in a suit and tie demonstrated a mini-drone that fits in your hand like a Frisbee. It seemed to catch the technological fetishism that makes Expo the extravaganza it is. Later I asked him what such a drone would be used for. ?To see what?s over the next hill,? he replied.
Until you visit the yearly Expo, it?s easy enough to forget that the U.S. borderlands are today ground zero for the rise, growth, and spread of a domestic surveillance state. On June 27th, the Senate passed the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act. Along with the claim that it offers a path to citizenship to millions of the undocumented living in the United States (with many stringent requirements), in its more than 1,000 pages it promises to build the largest border-policing and surveillance apparatus ever seen in the United States. The result, Senator John McCain proudly said, will be the ?most militarized border since the fall of the Berlin Wall.?
This ?border surge,? a phrase coined by Senator Chuck Schumer, is also a surveillance surge. The Senate bill provides for the hiring of almost 19,000 new Border Patrol agents, the building of 700 additional miles of walls, fences, and barriers, and an investment of billions of dollars in the latest surveillance technologies, including drones.
In this, the bill only continues in a post-9/11 tradition in which our southern divide has become an on-the-ground laboratory for the development of a surveillance state whose mission is already moving well beyond those borderlands. Calling this ?immigration reform? is like calling the National Security Agency?s expanding global surveillance system a domestic telecommunications upgrade. It?s really all about the country that the United States is becoming ? one of the police and the policed.
Low-Intensity War Zone
The $46 billion border security price tag in the immigration reform bill will simply expand on what has already been built. After all, $100 billion was spent on border ?enforcement? in the first decade after 9/11. To that must be added the annual $18 billion budget for border and immigration enforcement, money that outpaces the combined budgets of all other federal law enforcement agencies. In fact, since Operation Blockade in the 1990s, the U.S.-Mexico border has gone through so many surges that a time when simple chain link fences separated two friendly countries is now unimaginable.
To witness the widespread presence of Department of Homeland Security agents on the southern border, just visit that international boundary 100 miles south of Border Security Expo. Approximately 700 miles of walls, fences, and barriers already cut off the two countries at its major urban crossings and many rural ones as well. Emplaced everywhere are cameras that can follow you ? or your body heat ? day or night. Overhead, as in Afghanistan, a Predator B drone may hover. You can?t hear its incessant buzzing only because it flies so high, nor can you see the crew in charge of flying it and analyzing your movements from possibly hundreds of miles away.
As you walk, perhaps you step on implanted sensors, creating a beeping noise in some distant monitoring room. Meanwhile, green-striped Border Patrol vehicles rush by constantly. On the U.S.-Mexican border, there are already more than 18,500 agents (and approximately 2,300 more on the Canadian border). In counterterrorism mode, they are paid to be suspicious of everything and everybody. Some Homeland Security vehicles sport trailers carrying All Terrain Vehicles. Some have mounted surveillance cameras, others cages to detain captured migrants. Some borderlanders like Mike Wilson of the Tucson-based Border Action Network, a member of the Tohono O?odham Nation (a Native American people and the original inhabitants of the Arizona borderlands), call the border security operatives an ?occupying army.?
Checkpoints ? normally located 20-50 miles from the international boundary ? serve as a second layer of border enforcement. Stopped at one of them, you will be interrogated by armed agents in green, most likely with drug-sniffing dogs. If you are near the international divide, it?s hard to avoid such checkpoints where you will be asked about your citizenship ? and much more if anything you say or do, or simply the way you look, raises suspicions. Even outside of the checkpoints, agents of the Department of Homeland Security can pull you over for any reason ? without probable cause or a warrant ? and do what is termed a ?routine search.? As a U.S. Border Patrol agent told journalist Margaret Regan, within a hundred miles of the international divide, ?there?s an asterisk on the Constitution.?
Off-road forward operating bases offer further evidence of the battlefield atmosphere being created near the border. Such outposts became commonplace during the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, where they were meant to house U.S. soldiers deployed into remote areas. On the border, there are high-tech yet rudimentary camps that serve the same purpose. They also signal how agents of the Department of Homeland Security are ?gaining, maintaining, and expanding? into rural areas traversed by migrants and used by smugglers, though to this point never crossed by a known international terrorist.
These rural areas, especially in Arizona, are riddled with migrant causalities. More than 6,000 ?remains? have been recovered since the mid-1990s, deaths not for the most part from bullets but from exposure. The U.S. borderlands, according to sociologist Timothy Dunn, started to become a militarized zone as early as the 1970s ? in part, in response to the Pentagon?s low-intensity conflict doctrine. With Congressional immigration reform, if it passes the House of Representatives, it may very well become a full-fledged war zone.
Since the 1990s, the strategy of the Border Patrol has been termed ?prevention by deterrence? and has been focused on concentrating agents and surveillance technologies in urban areas, once the traditional migrant routes. The idea was to funnel migrant flows into areas too dangerous and desolate to cross like the triple-degree-temperature desert in Arizona. Deadly yes; impossible to cross, no. Although unauthorized border-crossings have slowed down in recent years, tens of thousands continue to cross into the United States annually from Mexico and Central America, thanks in part to the continued havoc of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which left more two million Mexican farmers unemployed.
I met Adira, a 21-year-old from Oaxaca, Mexico, in early June. She told me a story all too common in Arizona. As she described her experience, I realized that I was talking to somebody who had probably died and been brought back to life. We were only a few blocks from the border. Homeland Security had formally deported her only days before. Still reliving the trauma of her experience, she stared down, her face colorless, as she talked.
?Make no mistake: this bill will lead to more deaths on the border.?
I had heard the basics of her story so many times before: to avoid the militarized surveillance apparatus, she and her companions walked for at least five days through the southern Arizona desert with little ? and then no ? water or food. By the fourth day, the mountains began to talk to her, so she told me, and she suspected she was coming to the end of her young life. After she couldn?t walk any more, the guide dragged her, telling her constantly: ?We just have to make it to the next point.?
When they reached a road on the American side of the border, she remembers convulsing four times (just as she remembers blood bursting spontaneously from the noses of her companions). And then she remembers no more. She woke up in a hospital. There were scars on her chest. Medics must have used a machine, she thought, to shock her back to life. She found out later that somebody had lit a fire to attract the Border Patrol. She?s lucky not to be among those remains regularly found out in that desert.
In other words, each further tightening of the border is a death sentence passed on yet more Latin Americans. According to a statement by a group of Tucson organizations, including No More Deaths and the Coalici?n de Derechos Humanos, the border build-up in the immigration reform bill promises more of the same: ?Make no mistake: this bill will lead to more deaths on the border.?
The Laboratory
In early March, DRS Technologies set up its integrated fixed-tower technology at the University of Arizona?s (UA) Science and Technology Park, just south of Tucson, an hour from the border, and very close to where Adira almost lost her life. The company was eager to show off the long-range surveillance technology it had been developing for borders in places like Egypt and Jordan.
It set up a mock operational control room to do a dog-and-pony show for the local media. Four of its IT guys then focused their cameras on an elevated railroad spur more than four miles away in the middle of the desert where two men were approaching each other to consummate a fake drug deal. One handed the other a backpack. It was all vividly watchable on DRS?s video screens. Although the odds of such a scenario actually happening ranged from slim to none, the demonstration was a reminder of just how fertile the U.S.-Mexico borderlands are for defense- and surveillance-related companies. It?s here that new generations of surveillance technology are regularly born and developed.
For almost a decade, the Department of Homeland Security has been attempting to build a ?virtual wall? along the border ? not a physical barrier but a high-tech surveillance masterpiece, a complex web of technology, radar, unattended ground sensors, and camera systems meant to detect anyone crossing the border anywhere. The last attempt to install such an experimental system along part of the border was in 2006. Then the Department of Homeland Security awarded Boeing Corporation a multi-billion-dollar contract to develop such a ?wall,? known as SBInet. That contract was abruptly cancelled in 2011, after the costly and delayed program advertised as offering ?unprecedented situational awareness? misfired regularly in the rugged terrain of the Arizona borderlands. Now, companies like DRS are standing in line for the next round of potentially lucrative contracts, as Homeland Security wants ?to finish the job.?
The UA Tech Park is one place in the southern borderlands where surveillance technology can be developed, tested, evaluated, and demonstrated. It has 18,000 linear feet of fencing surrounding its ?solar zone,? a solar-technology-centric research area ideal for testing sensor systems along a future border wall. On any of the roadways in its 1,345 acres, it can set up mock border-crossings or checkpoints to test new equipment and methods. It draws on faculty and graduate students from the college of engineering. In ?rapid-response teams,? they offer third-party evaluations of border control technology. Some of this same technology is also being created on the UA campus, thanks in part to millions of dollars in DHS grants.
With projected global revenues of approximately $20 billion in 2013 and a 5% growth rate that has withstood a worldwide recession, the global border security industry was flourishing even before the latest immigration reform proposal. Now, it?s poised for a potential bonanza.
Here, too, as Tech Park CEO Bruce Wright tells me, they can test new technologies ?right in the field? ? that is, on the border, presumably on real people. One of the tech park?s goals, he says, is to develop the first border security industry cluster of its kind in the United States. In southern Arizona alone, they have already identified 57 companies, big and small, working on border policing technology.
The Tech Park?s director of community engagement Molly Gilbert says, ?It?s really about development, and we want to create technology jobs in our border towns.? These are sweet words for the economically depressed communities of southern Arizona, their poverty rates usually hovering at around 20%. With projected global revenues of approximately $20 billion in 2013 and a 5% growth rate that has withstood a worldwide recession, the global border security industry was flourishing even before the latest immigration reform proposal. Now, it?s poised for a potential bonanza.
The key, as Wright stressed in a 2012 interview, is that the products developed for the U.S.-Mexican borderlands be marketed in the future for the U.S.-Canada border, where ?defenses? are already being upgraded, for other international borders, but also for places that have little to do with borders. These might include the perimeters of utility companies and airports, or police forces with expanding national security and immigration enforcement missions.
?There?s a huge market for this technology worldwide,? Wright told me then, ?because borders exist everywhere. There?s the Palestinian-Israeli border, there?s the Syrian-Israeli border, there?s the German-Polish border? Take it around the world and wherever you want to go there are borders, so the technology is very adaptable and has a market worldwide.?
The Surge
The word ?surge,? last heard in relation to the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, actually fits the immigration reform bill perfectly. It?s almost as if a domestic war is about to be formally declared.
After all, the bill would come close to doubling the number of Border Patrol agents, bringing their ranks to 40,000 ? the size of a small army ? stationed, according to Senator Lindsey Graham, every 1,000 feet along the nearly 2,000-mile border. To put that in perspective, the Border Patrol, created in 1924, took close to 70 years to reach 4,000 agents. In 2006, at 10,000 agents, it had its first major hiring surge, doubling its numbers. Many of the new agents were veterans from our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This new surge will mean collateral benefits for all sorts of businesses ? more uniforms, more guns, more vehicles, more maintenance. And that?s just to scratch the surface of what?s likely to happen.
As Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy put it, this will be the ?Christmas wish list for Halliburton,? and the border security industry, as at this year?s Border Security Expo, is visibly licking its chops. Senator Marco Rubio laid out the following list or, as the trade magazine Homeland Security Today called it, ?treasure trove? of products that it expected to be ordered if the bill passed: 86 integrated fixed towers, 286 fixed camera systems, 232 mobile surveillance systems, 4,595 unattended ground sensors, 820 handheld equipment devices, 416 personal radiation detectors, 104 radiation isotope identification devices, 62 mobile automated targeting systems, 53 fiber-optic tank inspection scopes, 37 portable contraband detectors, 28 license plate readers, 26 mobile inspection scopes and sensors for checkpoints, nine land automated targeting systems, and eight non-intrusive inspection systems.
In addition, Rubio said, the immigration bill would include ?four unmanned aircraft systems, six VADER radar systems, 17 UH-1N helicopters, eight C-206H aircraft upgrades, eight AS-350 light enforcement helicopters, 10 Blackhawk helicopter 10 A-L conversions, five new Blackhawk M Model, 30 marine vessels, 93 sensor repeaters, 90 communications repeaters, two card-reader systems, five camera refresh, three backscatters, one radiation portal monitor, one littoral detection, one real-time radioscopy, and improved surveillance capabilities for existing aerostat.?
According to the New York Times, other military-industrial behemoths like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin are actively looking for ?revenue flows? as ?wars wind down.?
The reform package calls for ?persistent surveillance? and 24/7 drone flights, although the areas of these flights are not specified. Even before the Senate reform bill came into view, San Diego-based General Atomics was awarded a contract that would add 14 more drones to the current fleet of 10 used by Customs and Border Protection (CBP, the parent agency of the Border Patrol). CBP plans to have 18 drones in flight by 2016 and 24 in the years to follow patrolling U.S. skies over cities such as San Diego, Tucson, and El Paso ? not to speak, in the north, of Seattle, Detroit, and Buffalo.
Some of these drones will be equipped with the VADER ?man-hunting? radar system, made by Northrup Grumman, used to detect roadside bombers in Afghanistan. Now, even more of this technology will be put to use in the borderlands, where, according to CBP, it is already locating unauthorized border-crossers. Recently declassified documents also show that CBP has been considering upgrading its drones with ?non-lethal? weapons to be able to take down ?targets of interest.?
According to the New York Times, other military-industrial behemoths like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin are actively looking for ?revenue flows? as ?wars wind down.? Teams of lobbyists, including former New York Senator Alfonse D?Amato, have been pressing the Department of Homeland Security on behalf of their corporate clients. D?Amato lobbies for the United Technologies Corporation, which stands to make millions off an immigration bill that will okay the purchase of 15 of its Blackhawk helicopters. This is but one example of the increasingly powerful set of corporate interests eager to see immigration reform pass now in the House of Representatives. A vote could come as early as Labor Day.
But whatever happens, it?s time to stop thinking of all this as ?immigration reform.? It represents what may be the most intense concentration of the surveillance state in a single location ever witnessed ? a place where the Constitution has an asterisk, which means that anything goes and dystopian worlds of all sorts can be invented.
The Los Angeles Times has written that, if passed, the bill ?would also be a boost to defense contractors and an economic stimulus for border communities, creating thousands of jobs that could raise home prices and spur consumer spending around border security stations.? It sounds like Keynesian economics, but of a whole different sort.
In a world where basic services are being cut, an emerging policing apparatus in the borderlands is flourishing. As Mattea Kramer and Chris Hellman reported at TomDispatch in February, since September 11, 2001, the United States has spent $791 billion on ?homeland security? alone, an inflation-adjusted $300 billion more than the cost of the entire New Deal.
In those borderlands, we are seeing the birth of a military-industrial-immigration complex. It seems destined to shape our future.

NEW YORK (AP) ? CNN boss Jeff Zucker said Friday that criticism that his network underplayed the Egyptian coup in favor of the George Zimmerman murder trial is "a bunch of bunk."
"I feel increasingly comfortable and confident that we got it in the right balance," said Zucker, who is marking his sixth month at the helm of the cable news network and its affiliates.
CNN's priorities in giving extensive coverage to the trial of the Florida neighborhood watch volunteer on trial for murder were questioned last week during the height of political unrest in Egypt, a story that CNN International was spending virtually all of its time on. CNN's coverage continued Friday with the Zimmerman defense team's closing arguments.
Sid Bedingfield, a former CNN executive who now teaches journalism at the University of South Carolina, wrote online that he worries that CNN's Zimmerman coverage may mark a turning point in a move toward tabloid TV. News organizations should tread carefully in cases with potentially explosive racial overtones, he wrote.
A prominent press critic, Jay Rosen of New York University, suggested that a drive for ratings has trumped common sense. CNN has minted an instant hit with its nightly prime-time wrap-up of the Zimmerman case that Anderson Cooper hosts.
"What do they stand for?" Rosen wrote on his blog. "The same thing 'Entertainment Tonight' stands for. Television that occupies your attention, not for a purpose but merely for a while."
Zucker, appearing Friday at the IESE Business School, said that it's possible to cover both stories. He said the coverage was an example of one of his chief goals during his early time at CNN, which is to expand the definition of news that it covers. CNN's focus had drifted too much toward Washington-oriented stories over the past decade, he said. One of the things he's done is get rid of the "CNN=politics" promotional tag that had been used.
While CNN's coverage of both Gulf Wars played prominent roles in putting the network on the map, Zucker said the O.J. Simpson trial and the rescue of Baby Jessica, the girl stuck in a well in Texas in 1987, were also memorable markers.
"We cover both what's important and what's interesting, and it's the mix of things that makes CNN great," said Zucker, the former NBC Universal president.
The network's extensive coverage this year of what became known as the "poop ship," a disabled cruise ship whose bathrooms stopped working, was also the target of critics.
Zucker also said that a criticism that CNN has not had enough conservative points of view on the air is a fair one and he's working to correct that. He mentioned the hires of Newt Gingrich and S.E. Cupp as conservative voices for the revived "Crossfire," which will begin airing this fall.
The CNN chief's face drooped slightly during an appearance, and he said he is suffering from Bell's palsy, a disorder that has left half of his face paralyzed. That is usually a temporary condition and he said he expects it to go away in a couple of weeks.

No matter what your age, weight training is a fun and healthy way to get into amazing shape. The following article offers plenty of helpful advice on how you can get the most out of your workouts, and enjoy the benefits of a smart and suitable bodybuilding program. Read on for some tried and true advice.
Don?t cut out carbs when building muscle. Carbohydrates provide the energy required to complete your weight-training exercises; if you don?t consume enough of them, your body will turn to protein for its energy needs, slowing down your progress. Eat the correct amount of carbohydrates to get your body through its workout.
TIP! It seems a lot of people that work out go for speed over technique. Try doing your usual routine slower to focus on the techniques.
Try to focus on multiple muscles during one workout, such as the hamstrings for quads and chest dips for the chest. Doing this allows a muscle to rest during the time the other one is working. This will result in an increase in the intensity of your workouts, allowing you to be more effective in less time.
Building muscle does not necessarily mean that you will appear ripped. Since there are so many kinds of muscle building routines, you have to figure out which is one is the best for you. Adding a supplement to your routine can help you gain muscle.
Know your limitations, and don?t stop short of exhausting them. For every set, push to continue until you cannot continue with a single additional rep. If necessary, you can use a pyramid system and decrease the number of reps as you fatigue.
TIP! If you want to build muscle, you need to eat meat on a regular basis. Eat approximately one gram of meat-protein per body pound.
You can cut corners a bit when you lift, although always be safe. If you need to use a bit of your body to get those last couple of reps in, it?s okay. In fact, this is a great way to increase your workout volume. Having said that, you should never cheat in excessive amounts. Make sure that your rep speed is controlled. Be sure not to compromise your form.
The holy trinity of exercises for adding muscle mass are the squat, the bench press, and the dead lift. All these exercises will assist you in getting in the best shape as fast as possible and build muscles. These three should be the core of your routine, and then build on additional exercises from there.
One deterrent of successful muscle-building can be slow-growing muscle groups. Fill sets are necessary to pay attention to each muscle group necessary. A fill set is 25-30 reps of an exercise specifically designed to target your weak areas as maintenance between full workouts.
TIP! Every muscle building routine should contain three classic exercises. The ?big three? muscle building exercises are: bench presses, dead lifts and squats.
You need to be mindful of your caloric intake, if you want to build muscle. Be aware that there are good calories and bad calories; incorporate more good protein calories and eliminate bad fat calories. A poor diet could be your downfall.
Working out muscles has several benefits that can help your life, despite not desiring bulkiness. You can improve your self-esteem, feel more confident, and strengthen your joints and lungs when you combine muscle development with cardio workouts.
Make your goals reasonable when trying to build muscle. You can not bulk up in a day; it requires dedication and many, many workouts. Attempting to achieve rapid muscle development by utilizing steroids, stimulants or any kind of dangerous product, increases the risk of bodily harm and potentially severe health consequences.
TIP! Remember carbs when you want to build muscles. They are essential for more energy during workouts and they supplement protein for muscle mass.
Never bypass stretching before a lifting session. Stretching helps to warm-up your muscles, which prevents injuries. Stretching after a workout helps your muscles enter recovery phase, building up more new muscle tissue. It can also be helpful to get massages to relax your muscles.
Know your body and it?s limits. This will help you to identify your current capabilities and to use those to determine realistic goals. Just take into consideration things like your composition and your body weight to evaluate and factor in when coming up with goals for yourself.
Fitness and building muscle can work at any age, which is why it can work for you too! This article has given you all the information you need to see the benefits of a bodybuilding routine, which include bigger muscles, more endurance, and better overall health.

Exposure to chlorine, for example, can cause cancer. The time that most humans spend in a bath of shower allows a generous amount of chlorine to enter the body. In fact, the body can get more chlorine through the skin than it can by having chlorinated water sent down the esophagus in kitchen designs. Redecorating it from time to time is important.
A little creativity is enough combined with hard work and patience. If you can successfully revive it this time, it won?t be harder the next time. In fact, it would be much easier because you already have the experience. You have the idea on how to get started. In addition, a hot shower causes the formation of huge amounts of water vapor with good kitchen design ideas. That vapor contains all of the chemicals that are in the water that passes through the faucet or showerhead. If that water contains chemicals that have gone undetected in a municipal treatment plant, then the person who steps from the bath or shower inhales those same chemicals. You need to schedule a week or two to revive it. If you need to do repairs then do it? Ready your repair tools earlier. If you lack some tools, borrow from a friend. At least, you don?t have to worry about buying. But, in the future, you really need to buy yourself your own bathroom tools.
Make sure that they are safe. Add more decorations that you prefer. Consider as well the floors. It?s a must if you want to revive the entire room. Once a homeowner has realized the importance of that question, then that homeowner appreciates the value of a well-designed filter on a showerhead or a bathtub faucet with kitchen renovation Sydney. If a homeowner should chose to purchase such a filter, then that homeowner ought to consider buying an activated carbon filter.

The current employment situation is still struggling, meaning there is intense competition for relatively few jobs?which means employers are re??jecting a greater number of applicants than usual.
How you reject applicants can mean the difference between applicants still having a positive impression of your organization, versus coming away with hurt feelings or even giving them incentive to take you to court on discrimination claims.
A well-crafted rejection letter is the safest route for external candidates who were interviewed?it assures them that they were seriously considered for the position and it keeps you from having to verbally explain, in detail, why you rejected them.
In crafting the letter, it?s generally best to give a neutral and nonspecific reason for the rejection.?After all, no employment law requires you to tell employees the reason why they weren?t hired, and you don?t want to get pulled into a debate over your reasons.
Here is some sample language you might want to consider using or building upon for your rejection letter:
Thank you for your interest in our organization. We have reviewed your background and experience, and although your qualifications are excellent, we have decided another candidate more closely fits the position?s requirements at this time.
It was a pleasure meeting you during your interview. We wish you the best of luck in your job search.
If you believe that applicants could qualify for other positions in your company, you might also encourage them to apply again in the future. (But don?t encourage them unless you truly want them to do so!)
Also, try to personalize the rejection letter, at least marginally.?Use the candidate?s name, the name of the position, and refer to something you?d discussed during the interview.
This will go a long way in making him feel appreciated rather than passed over.
Never provide inaccurate, misleading, or conflicting reasons for an applicant?s rejection, as these can come back to haunt you; judges and juries often look askance at employers that do this, viewing it as pretext for discrimination.
You may consider contacting the rejected candidate by phone to notify him of your decision. Many job ?hunters appreciate learning their fate as soon as possible so they can continue their searches. Your phone call should be concise and brief.
For applicants who never even make it to the interview stage?those whom you reject based on their initial job application/cover letter/r?sum??consider sending out a form letter or email, thanking them for applying and stating that ?other candidates more closely fit the position?s requirements.?
For r?sum?s/applications that arrive unsolicited, have a form letter or email ready stating that no appropriate positions are available at this time.
Why bother doing any of this? Aside from being good business etiquette, a quick response can help prevent applicants from calling again and again to ask whether you received their materials and whether they are still being considered for the position.
It also presents your organization in a good light; let?s face it, because of the avalanche of applications they receive, most employers nowadays send no re??sponse whatsoever to applicants they?re not seriously considering, so offering applicants some sort of closure sets you apart from other employers.

Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's half-brother and intelligence chief, Sabawi Ibrahim al-Hassan, died of cancer in a Baghdad hospital on Monday, the justice ministry said.
Hassan, who was captured in 2005, had been sentenced to death for "murder and crimes against the Iraqi people," justice ministry spokesman Wissam al-Fraiji said in a statement announcing his death.
Hassan had been transferred from prison to hospital after his condition worsened, Mr Fraiji said.
He was not the only ailing member of Saddam's regime in custody in Iraq.
Tareq Aziz, a deputy premier under Saddam and one of the dictator's close confidants, has been in prison since surrendering in April 2003, days after the fall of Baghdad in the US-led invasion of Iraq.
His family has repeatedly called for his release on health grounds, particularly after he suffered a heart attack in late 2007.
Aziz himself has requested that his death sentence for "deliberate murder and crimes against humanity" be carried out.
Other officials from Saddam's regime have already been put to death, including the dictator himself, who was executed on December 30, 2006.

Former U.S. Sen. Bob Bennett stood Friday before a group and gleefully proclaimed that, because he will never again appear on a ballot, he can say anything he wants.
Then he did.
The Utah Republican was the invited guest luncheon speaker at The Leonardo in Salt Lake City during the annual conference of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists. He knew he was speaking to a few dozen folks who earn a living making fun of politicians like him. And he knew he was going to be quoted.
Then he gave a dismal prognosis for the future of his beloved Republican Party, comparing it to the train wreck of the Democratic Party in the 1970s brought on by the so-called McGovernites.
Those idealistic followers of 1972 presidential candidate George McGovern began their quest under the banner of the anti-Vietnam War movement. But Bennett said it morphed into what many perceived to be an anti-American movement and the passionate ideology presented at the time turned the Democrats into losers for the next 20 years.
The same thing is happening now, he said, to the Republican Party. And the counterpart to the McGovernite movement that destroyed the Democratic Party in the 1970s is the tea party movement that, he warns, is destroying the Republican Party in the same way.
The tea party was borne out of legitimate concerns about government overreach and incompetence, he said. But like the McGovernites in the Democratic Party, the movement?s bullhorn was seized by uncompromising zealots whose extremism turns off the average American just as the ultra-liberal followers of McGovern did.
"We?re a center-right nation," Bennett said. The further politicians move away from the center, the more alienating their party becomes.
Bennett, after 18 years as an effective senator from Utah known for his willingness to reach across party lines to find mutually beneficial solutions, was defeated at the Republican State Convention by the tea party tsunami of 2010.
His replacement is tea party favorite Mike Lee who, despite fist-pounding idolatry to some imagined fundamentalist truth, has been completely ineffective as a senator so far. Continued...
Bennett said the mistake of the tea party is the same as that made by the McGovernites. That is the failure to recognize one single nugget of wisdom: Don?t ever compromise your principles, but be willing to adjust your assumptions.
The uncompromising tea party, Bennett said, has cost the Republicans six seats in the U.S. Senate over the past two election cycles. Tea party candidates bumped out more electable Republicans in those six states and lost what should have been Republican Senate seats in red states.
He doesn?t see things improving for the Republicans any time soon. When the tea party works to defeat Republicans for such sins as even speaking to Democrats or, heaven forbid, hugging Barack Obama, the basic principles of the Grand Old Party are lost.
As for bowing to the extremist element for the sake of a Republican primary victory, Bennett had this to say:
"Would I have voted on TARP, or immigration differently had I known that would cost me my Senate seat? No. Because there are things far more important than being a senator. And one is to be true to your own conscience."

Jaromir Jagr is still available. So is goalie Tim Thomas, who continues exploring whether to make a comeback after taking a season off.
Mikhail Grabovski, anyone?
Otherwise, many of the available impact players were swept up in the first few hours after the NHL's free-agency opened Friday.
A total of 60 players were signed in deals involving 26 of the league's 30 teams, according to a list posted on NHL.com. They included Columbus landing Nathan Horton to a $37.1 million, seven-year contract and Daniel Alfredsson leaving Ottawa for a one-year deal in Detroit. Toronto signed David Clarkson to a $36.75 million, seven-year deal, while Jarome Iginla signed a one-year deal with Boston, the team he jilted for Pittsburgh earlier this season.
And then another nine were traded, with the biggest move involving the Senators filling the void Alfredsson left by acquiring Anaheim forward Bobby Ryan in exchange for two forwards and a first-round draft pick.
At the rate players were being signed and swapped, Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren was relieved to have addressed most of his team's needs before the market officially opened.
"I didn't think the defense market was as strong as centers. The better ones went right away," Holmgren said, while formally announcing the team had signed captain Claude Giroux to an eight-year extension worth over $64 million. "I think we were fortunate to jump in on Mark when we did."
Holmgren was referring to defenseman Mark Streit, who was acquired in a trade with the New York Islanders before Philadelphia locked him up to a four-year, $21 million contract last week. Holmgren also could have mentioned Philadelphia getting Vincent Lecavalier ? this summer's most prized free agent ? to agree to a five-year deal on Tuesday.
That didn't stop Holmgren from signing goalies Ray Emery and Yann Danis on Friday to shore up what remains an unsettled position.
Beyond that, it's a wonder anyone's still available.
Former Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov's still on the market. So are two ex-Detroit teammates, Damien Brunner and Daniel Cleary. As for defense, there's Toni Lydman.
And then there's Teemu Selanne, who usually takes his time in free agency. Ducks general manager Bob Murray is scheduled to contact Selanne next week to see whether the Finn is close to making a decision on returning for one more year.
Many players came to much quicker decisions.
Alfredsson was driven to the Motor City by the opportunity to win a championship, and was joined, soon after, by center Stephen Weiss, who agreed to a five-year, $24.5 million contract.
"It's all about trying to get the Stanley Cup," Alfredsson said.
For others, it was the lure of finding the right fit.
Horton was willing to give up big-city living in Boston, for the chance to raise his family in a more collegiate environment such as Columbus.
"It's a great opportunity for me and my family to be in a house and for it to be a little more quiet," Horton said, while noting he is also eager to help transform the Blue Jackets into contenders. "I want to be in the playoffs and everybody else does (here), and we've got the team to do it. That's why I'm so excited."
The Toronto Maple Leafs, coming off their first postseason appearance since 2004, also made a statement by signing Clarkson and keeping first-line center Tyler Bozak with a $21 million, five-year deal.
Tampa Bay reached a $25 million, five-year deal with 29-year-old center Valtteri Filppula to essentially replace Lecavalier.
Ottawa wasn't expecting Alfredsson to bolt.
"It was a devastating conversation, a disappointing one, hard to swallow," Senators general manager Bryan Murray acknowledged. "But I understand a veteran player that hasn't won and wants to win and sees a better opportunity."
The Senators, though, got younger and perhaps better up front by acquiring Ryan. Ottawa sent forwards Jakob Silfverbeg, Stefan Noesen and its first-round pick in next year's draft to the Ducks for the four-time 30-goal scorer.
A lot of other teams also made moves to jockey for position in the parity-filled league:
?The Phoenix Coyotes, with a new owner, signed forward Mike Ribeiro to a four-year, $22 million contract.
?The New Jersey Devils signed forward Ryane Clowe to a five-year, $24.25 million contract, and forward Michael Ryder to a two-year, $7 million deal.
?The Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks re-signed defenseman Michal Rozsival, forward Michal Handzus and gave 40-year goalie Nikolai Khabibulin a one-year deal to replace Emery.
?The Pittsburgh Penguins reunited with defenseman Rob Scuderi by giving him a four-year $13.5 million deal.
?The New York Islanders re-signed goalie Evgeni Nabokov to a one-year, $3.25 million deal and defenseman Travis Hamonic to a seven-year, $27 million contract, and signed free-agent forward Pierre-Marc Bouchard to a one-year, $2 million contract.

I know so many people that do this! ?And I guess their argument could be that statistically there's more successes than failures in this industry, but my goodness, every summer I hear of an injury or death from para-sailing.?
The video included at the linked story shows the parasail drifting into a multi-storied building, it certainly made me gasp.
I definitely am one to raise my hand to think this looks fun, but I'm leery to do it.
Do you enjoy parasailing? ? Do you think there should be more stringent guidelines in place for this type of recreational activity? ? Do you think they would even help?

"50 Cent"attends the "After Earth" premiere at the Ziegfeld Theatre, in New York.
50 Cent was charged with domestic violence and vandalism after an alleged altercation with the mother of his child in Los Angeles this week, but the 37-year-old rapper defiantly took to his Twitter page Friday to brag about not being behind bars and to share what he might bring with him if he winds up there.
In a series of GPS-style tweets, the rapper, whose real name is Curtis James jackson III, posted all of the different places he is instead of jail.
He's in his strip club:
In his super-elaborate home theater:
On his Gucci couch:
The Grammy-winning rapper is charged with one count of misdemeanor domestic violence and four counts of violence, Reuters reported.
According to charges filed by the L.A. City Attorney's Office on Wednesday, 50 Cent and his ex-girlfriend were arguing on June 23 and things escalated. When she locked herself in the bedroom, he kicked down the door and caused an unspecified injury. Police estimate he destroyed $7,100 worth of property in her condominium, including furniture, a chandelier, a television set, and a lamp, a spokesman for the city attorney's office said. The musician left the condo before police arrived.
The city attorney's office is not disclosing the name of the victim but described her as 50 Cent's former girlfriend.
His attorney, Scott Leemon, told E! News in a statement: "Curtis Jackson (50 Cent's real name) denies these allegations as made against him."
50 Cent has sold 20 million albums worldwide and starred in the 2005 semi-autobiographical film, "Get Rich or Die Tryin'." He will appear in the upcoming crime-thriller "The Frozen Ground," which stars Nicolas Cage and John Cusack.
The rapper will be arraigned on July 22 in Los Angeles Superior Court and faces a maximum penalty of five years in jail and $46,000 in fines if convicted on all counts.
If he ends up in jail, he knows what he's taking with him:
And he'll definitely have plenty of time for this:

According to The Associated Press, the shooting came when hundreds of Morsi supporters marched on the Guard building, where Morsi was staying at the time of his ouster before being taken into military custody in an unknown location. The crowd approached a barbed wire barrier where troops were standing guard around the building.
?
When one supporter hung a sign of Morsi on the barrier, the troops tore it down and told the crowd to stay back. A protester hung a second sign and the soldiers opened fire on the crowd, an Associated Press photographer at the scene said. Several protesters fell bloodied to the ground.
?
Protesters pelted the line of troops with stones, and the soldiers responded with volleys of tear gas.
?
The shooting risks to escalate Egypt's confrontation, with supporters of Morsi ? largely Islamists ? rejecting the army's ousting of the country's first freely elected president Wednesday night and installation of a new civilian administration. The protester casualties are likely to further fuel calls by some in the Islamist movement for violent retaliation.
?
The Brotherhood called for Friday's protests, which took place at several sites around the capital and in other cities. Brotherhood officials underlined strongly to their followers that their rallies should be peaceful.
?
A crowd of tens of thousands of Morsi supporters filled much of a broad boulevard outside a Cairo mosque several blocks away from the Republican Guard headquarters, vowing to remain in place until Morsi is restored. The protesters railed against what they called the return of the regime of autocrat Hosni Mubarak, ousted in early 2011.
?
?The old regime has come back? worse than before,? said Ismail Abdel-Mohsen, an 18-year-old student among the crowds outside the Rabia al-Adawiya Mosque. He dismissed the new interim head of state sworn in a day earlier, senior judge Adly Mansour, as ?the military puppet.?
?
The crowd began to march on the headquarters of the Republican Guard, many chanting, ?After sunset, President Morsi will be back in the palace.?
?
The military forced Morsi out Wednesday after millions of Egyptians turned out in four days of protests demanding his removal and saying he had squandered his electoral mandate by putting power in the hands of his own Muslim Brotherhood and other, harder-line Islamists. In the 48 hours since, the military has moved against the Brotherhood's senior leadership, putting Morsi under detention and arresting the group's supreme leader and a string of other figures.
?
Morsi supporters say the military has wrecked Egypt's democracy by carrying out a coup against an elected leader. They accuse Mubarak loyalists and liberal and secular opposition parties of turning to the army for help because they lost at the polls to Islamists.
?
But many supporters have equally seen it as a conspiracy against Islam.
?
Many at Friday's protests held copies of the Quran in the air, and much of the crowd had the long beards of ultraconservative men or encompassing black robes and veils worn by women, leaving only the eyes visible. One protester shouted that the sheik of Al-Azhar ? Egypt's top Muslim cleric who backed the military's move ? was ?an agent of the Christians? ? reflecting a sentiment that the Christian minority was behind Morsi's ouster.
?
The protesters set up ?self-defense? teams, with men staffing checkpoints touting sticks and home-made body shields. There was no significant presence of military forces near the protests.
?
Military appeal
?
Earlier, the military had appealed for conciliation and warned against unrest, as police rounded up senior Islamists ahead of the planned Brotherhood protests.
?
The authorities have also closed the Rafah border crossing with Gaza for the day.
?
Army, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, released a statement later on Thursday on its Facebook page, saying that everyone had a right to peaceful protest, but that right should not be abused.
?
Excessive protests, the army warned, could lead to civil unrest, while reiterating that it was not targeting any political group.
?
?Wisdom, true nationalism and constructive human values that all religions have called for, require us now to avoid taking any exceptional or arbitrary measures against any faction or political current,? the statement said.
?
Even the newly sworn-in interim leader Adly Mansour, who replaced Morsi as the president, used his inauguration on Thursday to heal the relationship with the Brotherhood.
?
?The Muslim Brotherhood are part of this people and are invited to participate in building the nation as nobody will be excluded, and if they respond to the invitation, they will be welcomed,? he said.
?
Among the top Brotherhood leaders arrested were the group's supreme leader, Mohamed Badie, while his powerful deputy, Khairat el-Shater, was wanted for questioning.
?
Other senior leader, such as Saad al-Katatni, Mohammed al-Beltagui, Gamal Gibril and Taher Abdel Mohse, would also be questioned.

The touchscreen Asha 501 Nokia unveiled back in May will now work with Here Maps, the company announced on its blog today. The navigation service is already available on Windows Phone 8, Firefox OS, Android and iOS, and its arrival on the Asha platform will boost that operating system's more modest selection of apps. Available now as a beta release, Here Maps for the Asha 501 offers turn-by-turn navigation and real-time traffic information. It's designed specifically for low-end smartphones without GPS on board, and Nokia's post notes that the current version "is a starting point and we will improve the experience over time." Upcoming changes will likely include improved satellite images, which the company says will soon be updated to a higher quality. Asha 501 users in select countries can nab the Here Maps beta via the source link below.

Samsung is shaking up its US mobile efforts: it just appointed Global Marketing Operations head Gregory Lee as the President of Samsung Telecommunications America, effective immediately. The company hasn't explained why it's making such an abrupt swap, but it's bringing outgoing President Dale Sohn back to South Korea as an Executive Advisor to mobile division CEO JK Shin. This may amount to a promotion -- when much of Samsung's recent success in smartphones is based on its American presence, Sohn's advice could carry a lot of weight.

If you enjoyed Windows 8's central Photos app that not only stored your local images but also those from other sites, you might be disappointed with Windows 8.1, if a post in Microsoft's forums is any indication. After a commenter noticed that Facebook and Flickr integration was gone, one of Redmond's employees said it was no longer necessary since other apps (including one arriving soon from Facebook) can now do that, unlike when Windows 8 was first launched. The spokesperson added that Microsoft "welcome(s) Flickr to do the same" and recommended the People app as another way to "socially engage" with your photos. Subsequent commenters felt differently, with one summing up the sentiment by saying the OS was moving backwards from its Hub pinnings and "forc(ing) you to be app-centric (like Android or iOS) instead of content-centric."
