Why a NYC Apartment May Now Be Within Reach
Living in Manhattan, it's easy to believe apartments have never been so expensive. But when price trends by Douglas Elliman were adjusted for inflation, they found median apartment prices were the lowest since 2004. Josh Barbanel reports. Photo: Getty Images.

We got a GREAT recession-buster email this morning from Jaren Wilkey, Manager of BYU Photography. We liked it so much it almost felt like we were using Hypersync ourselves by posting it immediately!
Recently we were asked to shoot an illustration for a story on bankruptcy. They wanted something simple like a broken piggy bank with coins laying everywhere, but I thought that it would be a lot more fun to get a shot of a piggy bank as it was hitting the ground and breaking up into pieces. This turned out to be the perfect opportunity to use our new PocketWizard Mini TT1's and Flex TT5's which allowed us to achieve TTL and High Speed Sync with at 1/8000 a second.
Now that's cool. Wanna see how it's done?
See all of the images and read the full story.
Thanks for emailing us, Jaren (hint, hint, everybody else!)! Be sure to browse the rest of the UtahPhotojournalism.com website to get a taste of good community.

Twitter named former Goldman Sachs Group banker Anthony Noto as chief financial officer, enlisting the executive who led its initial public offering to help the company regain favor with investors.
Noto, 46, replaces Mike Gupta, who is assuming the role of senior vice president of strategic investments, the latest management shuffle at the microblogging service. Noto left Goldman Sachs in May for hedge-fund firm Coatue Management, and is now joining Twitter instead.
The changes come almost three weeks after Ali Rowghani resigned as Twitter's chief operating officer following a power struggle with Chief Executive Officer Dick Costolo over responsibilities, according to people familiar with the matter. The San Francisco-social-media company has experienced decelerating user growth and has struggled to boost people's engagement with the service.
"He definitely understands Wall Street, how investors value the company, what investors are focused on," said Neil Doshi, an analyst at CRT Capital Group in Stamford, Connecticut, who rates Twitter the equivalent of a hold. "Twitter has done a fantastic job in posting very good financial results, but they missed the mark on how important investors view the user growth at Twitter."
The shares of Twitter rose 2.6 percent to $42.05 at the close in New York. The stock has declined 34 percent so far this year amid concern that user growth would continue to decelerate.
A dot-com era Internet analyst, Noto has served as CFO before, at the National Football League. He was a star football player in college at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, leading the team in tackles in 1990. Noto trained to be a member of the Army Rangers and spent time in the Middle East while serving as a signal officer in the infantry.
"I could not be more excited about joining the @Twitter team & helping them reach every person in the world," Noto wrote on his Twitter account shortly after the appointment, which was disclosed in a filing today.
Noto's salary will be $250,000, and he'll receive a one- time stock award of 1.5 million restricted shares vesting over four years, worth about $64 million at today's prices. He was also given a one-time option grant to buy 500,000 shares, according to the filing. He'll start working at Twitter within 30 days.
Twitter declined to make Noto available for comment. Noto and a representative from Coatue declined to comment.
One of the few investment bankers who tweet regularly, Noto rejoined Goldman Sachs from the NFL in 2010 and helped the bank secure the IPO for Yelp. He worked as an analyst at Goldman Sachs from 1999 until 2008.
"He's definitely a very solid hire for them," said Benjamin Schachter, an analyst at Macquarie Securities USA, who rates Twitter the equivalent of a sell. "As CFO, he'll be likely the voice to Wall Street for the company, and he obviously understands very well what investors want to hear given his experience as an analyst."
Noto joins a company known for its rocky internal dynamics. Costolo originally gave Rowghani control of Twitter's products and services late last year, but decided to remove the responsibility in April, precipitated by the hiring of Google maps executive Daniel Graf as vice president of consumer products, people familiar with the matter said at the time.
This year, Twitter's head of consumer products and head of engineering both resigned amid pressure to expand the company's business. In May, Twitter appointed a new chief of engineering, Alexander Roetter, who was already at the company.
Costolo tweeted: "Welcome @anthonynoto and looking forward to @mgupta's new role leading strategic investments!"
Twitter's board, which includes co-founders Jack Dorsey and Evan Williams, has raised questions about growth in members and user engagement. Costolo has been concerned about building a stronger culture at Twitter and has been asking others for advice, one person familiar with the matter has said.
Departing CFO Gupta sold about $2.2 million worth of Twitter shares in May after a lockup on insider sales was lifted. He sold the shares to cover tax withholding obligations related to the vesting of restricted stock, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Gupta Role
Gupta will be working on strategic investments as Twitter continues to buy companies to bolster its advertising business. The company said yesterday that it agreed to acquire mobile- advertising company TapCommerce. Twitter is paying $100 million for TapCommerce, according to a person with knowledge of the matter, its biggest acquisition since buying MoPub for $350 million in October.
Gupta tweeted: "Thanks @dickc Thrilled to start my new role as Head of Strategic Investments. Looking forward to having @anthonynoto on the team."
Noto spoke about the CFO's role at TechCrunch conference in New York in May 2013, saying that the job requires "somebody you trust, that can truly be your partner, someone that can tell you you're wrong."
"The only way people can really be excellent is with truth, so you have to have a CFO who will have the intellectual capacity and conviction to tell you you're wrong, and try to support that with data," Noto said at the conference. "Today, I think a CFO needs to be more of an operating CFO, someone who's using the financial data and the data of the company to help drive strategy, the allocation of capital, and the management of risks."

I went to visit a lady that sells tupperware in hopes she had something that would keep my wet food off of my dry food, and she did, however I specifically said I needed something that that would fit into "these" and pulled out my bento boxes. At which point she gaped and said "those are tiny how do you expect to put enough lunch in those?"
I replied, my children don't eat huge lunches. And she came back with some weird comment about them playing hard and needing calories and I just blurted back "perhaps that mentality is why we have a pediatric obesity epidemic in the United States"
Nothing like getting into an argument with the tupperware lady first time you meet LOL.
I did buy a couple things but probably won't go back to her.
Just the new girl around here looking for some lunch ideas.
Indeed, a lot of Americans, maybe other people too, seem to have a problem fathoming food in a little compact box. I'm pondering how to get around that problem...
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
"perhaps that mentality is why we have a pediatric obesity epidemic in the United States"
BIG GRIN, best laugh of the day.
Folks in other countries sometimes don't appreciate the American penchant for the 'diamond blurt.'
Others love us for it.
nice one, BF Guru. ~:-D
To be fair, a big chunk of it isn't so much the amount of food as compacting it. A lot of us are used to a lot of extra space in our lunchboxes between individually-wrapped items, or things like sandwiches which are hard to fit into a smaller, more compact bento box.
"Stop having the boring tuna; stop having the boring life" - Vince Offer
I'm always surprised at how small a portion of other food (stew or whatever) looks when it's been packed in the little boxes I use for the freezer. It looks a lot bigger spread out on a plate.
My blog is Food and Shoes
Actually, I was shocked when I opened up the box my first bento came in (the kids Vivo bento). It was miniscule! Slightly larger than a baby food jar, I thought. Then I was shocked again the first time I used it, and could fit a whole lunch, snack, tiny fork, a washcloth thing (forget the proper name) and dessert. And I eat a lot! Since we usually see our food spread across a plate (in the US) we don't know that it can actually be squished into such a small space.
I think it is mostly just conditioning. We grow up having lunches all packed in separate containers and so can't picture it all in one box. Because we can only mentally picture each piece individually we have no concept of how much -less- space it would take up in a single container.
I originally started packing my whole lunch into a single plastic food container because I had already made the switch over to reusable containers (from plastic wrap and throw-away bags etc.) in an effort to be eco-friendly. However, I found I hated washing three or four containers for every meal. At first I started with just two items in each box, but now I pack the whole thing all together so I only have one dish at the end.
I think you may find bento gaining popularity as other families switch into reusable containers. I hope that seeing my lunch all in one box will encourage others in my workplace to do the same. Making an attempt at spreading information about bento as a healthy-weight management tool might help too.
I think the three biggest mental blocks people have against bento boxes are -
- OMG! The boxes are so tiny!
the related
- I don't want my food to touch!
- I MUST HAVE hot meals! Can't even contemplate cold (room temp) food!
But I bet they still pick at leftovers in the fridge. That's how I decide if a leftover is bento-able. Pickable=bentoable.
I remember being astonished at how small my first bento boxes were.
Years later my friends, who have become used to bento-sized meals and how, yes, they will fill you up, now like to take bento hiking. The Japanese are smart. Onigiri is great travel food.
I decided to start bentoing because one of the biggest problems I was having with dieting was portion control. I was so confused with how much I should be eating and how would I know if i was overeating ect. I remember reading on one website that you should be eating a thumb size of carbs, a palm size of protein and a handful of veggies, but my hands are tiny :s.
So I decided to get a japanese bento, which was on sale wooohooo :). But when it arrived I had exactly the same reaction Noel ^^ and I thought, this is tiny, I'm either going to starve or have to get another one. I thought it might be because my bento is a 3 layer one or I'd accidently bought a child's bento or something, but I just decided to go for it and prepared my first bento and found that about 3/4 in, i was struggling to finish and I'm really glad about my 3 layer bento because i can have the right ammount of carbs, protein and veggies. :D and I use it measure out my dinner portions too.

Glenfarclas 30 Year Old
Review: Glenfarclas 30 Year Old Highland Single Malt Whisky 94/100
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted on April 26 , 2012
This review continues my series of examinations of the Glenfarclas Single Malt line-up. I have previously reviewed the Glenfarclas 12 Year, the Glenfarclas 21 Year, and the Glenfarclas Cask Strength 105. These reviews have been facilitated by Pacific Wine & Spirits Inc who have provided samples for me to assess, and who kindly invited me to a tasting event hosted by George Grant, the Sales Director for the Glenfarclas Distillery where I was able to sample the entire core range of Glenfarclas Whisky. Mr. Grant is part of the 6th generation of the Grant Family who originally purchased the distillery in 1865. His family still controls and manages the distillery today.
All of the Glenfarclas whisky is matured in two styles of oak barrels, plain oak barrels which have previously contained Bourbon or Scotch Whisky, and Spanish oak which has previously contained Oloroso or Fino Sherry from Seville. The barrels are stored in traditional 'dunnage' warehouses which date from the late 1800s. The Glenfarclas 30 Year Old Highland Single Malt Whisky which is the subject of this review has been bottled at 43 % and is produced from both first fill sherry casks and refill bourbon casks.
In the Bottle 4/5
We are firmly in the high-end of the range for the Glenfarclas Single Malt whiskies, yet the basic presentation for the Glenfarclas 30 Year Old Whisky is pretty much the same as it gas been throughout the range. This disappoints me as when I am spending over $200.00 on a bottle of whisky, I want to be wowed by the look of the bottle as well as by the whisky. Having, said that, I must point out that the Glenfarclas 30 Year Old is much less expensive than other 30 Year Old distillery bottlings I have seen on the shelves at my local liquor store. Thus, it appears that the company is passing the savings of this decision on to the consumer.
Another niggle I have with the presentation is that I wish there was a little information on the label or on the cardboard sleeve which gave the consumer an indication of the taste profile of the whisky. This is because we are beyond the point where the cost of the whisky is within easy reach of most consumers. I believe those potential customers who might be considering this whisky for a special occasion should be given at least some information regarding the taste profile of the whisky before he or she spends their hard-earned money.
I realize this sort of tasting information is available on the Glenfarclas website which has good tasting notes for their entire core range of whisky. However not everybody is internet savvy, and I think it would be helpful if these tasting notes were included on the cardboard sleeve that houses the whisky.
In the Glass 9.5/10
I am cautious with well aged whiskies. I have purchased more than a few, but when I do I always go to a store which has some open bottles for me to taste. Many of the whiskies which I sample have turned bitter with age, and the cost of the whisky has much more to do with the prestige of the bottle than with its overall taste and quality. At that tasting event (which I spoke of earlier) where I was able to sample the Glenfarclas Whisky range, I immediately realized that the Glenfarclas 30 Year Old did not follow this pattern when I brought the glass to my nose. This whisky is rich and luxurious on the nose. Chocolate, coffee, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, cardamom and wonderful oak spices all rise up in a veritable bouquet for the nostrils. The whisky show its age in the glass but it also shows its character with a complex oakiness which is almost perfectly melded into the 30-year-old sherried whisky.
In the Mouth 57/60
The nose of the whisky had my mouth-watering, and the taste of the whisky did not disappoint. This whisky oozes fudgy chocolate and dark Christmas cake full of fruity goodness. It is a little spicy as well as I taste rich baking spices tinged with allspice and ginger. But it is also full of dry fruit (raisins and dates), bittersweet chocolate, and espresso coffee. The melding of the whisky and the wood has been done with skilful craftsmanship.
As I let my glass sit, lovely ribbons of orange marmalade and soft caramel flavours take form within all this goodness. My feeling is that this whisky must certainly be amongst the best I have ever tasted.
In the Throat 14/15
The finish is full of Christmas fruit cake, bittersweet chocolate, and dark fruit flavours which coat the palate and the throat in a long chocolate filled finish. Bits of warm spiciness linger and my sample glass empties much quicker than it should each time I indulge.
The Afterburn 9.5/10
As I said earlier, I approach well aged whiskies with caution. I have been fooled before by the promise of velvety richness which fails to materialize in the glass, or worse yet a whisky which has turned bitter with age and can no longer sustain its character and balance. We have the opposite here, the Glenfarclas 30 Year Old Whisky is lush with complex flavours and goodness. The sweetness of the whisky is complemented beautifully by a light bitterness of chocolate and the entire experience from nose to mouth to throat is very easy to enjoy.
This is a very well-crafted whisky!
You may read some of my other Whisky Reviews (click the link) if you wish to have some comparative reviews.
As usual, you may interpret the scores I provide as follows:
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be more familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

Southeast Michigan - 2013by Roy Sexton '95 • October 7, 2013 Share:
Here in Southeast Michigan , we had a great time supporting Ronald McDonald House for Wabash Day. Thanks to Terry Hamilton '89 for organizing and for the alums who attended: Ron Recinto '87, Roy Sexton '95 (me!), Khurshaid Alam '97, Daniel Sweet '04 and Emily Fleishman, Caleb Mast '09, and Kyle Nagdeman '10. (Apologies if I interpolated any class years - working from memory here. And as I just rounded the corner on 40 last year, my memory - always a bit shoddy - has taken a turn for the worse!)
Today, with the direction of Mike McCoy and Irma from the House, we performed a variety of jobs, including cleaning common areas such as halls and the dining room, window washing, gardening, and organizing their food pantry area. The Detroit home is a 25 bed home located between Children's Hospital of Michigan and Detroit Receiving Hospital, with the address being 3911 Beaubien in Detroit.
There also was a camera crew there today, filming a quick piece on the House, and a few of our folks were interviewed so I suspect Wabash Day will have a few mentions there. I've included Mike McCoy on this message so he can let us know when and where that appears.
While we didn't necessarily get a chance to meet or interact with any of the residents today, we were so impressed by the heart and enthusiasm of the staff. We were also happy that we could help the Ronald McDonald House, in some small way, continue to provide a warm, clean, welcoming environment to families facing a health crisis with one or more of their children.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A seven-goal effort by Emerson College's Meg Ross would not be enough as MIT fought off the Lions for an 11-9 victory in a non-conference women's lacrosse game. Erica Little led the Engineers with five points on four goals and one assist. The outing moved her career total to 100 goals, becoming the seventh player in the program's history to reach this mark. Following the inaugural meeting between both teams, MIT improved to 5-3 on the year while the Lions' ledger lowered to 3-3.
Each side traded goals to start the contest before MIT registered six in a row to take an 8-2 advantage with 7:30 on the clock. After being held scoreless for nearly 18 minutes, Ross and Amy Gervis both found the back of the net during the final 17 seconds of the frame to close the Lions' gap to 8-4.
The duo found success early in the second stanza when Ross connected on a feed from Gervis. Ross then followed with back-to-back unassisted goals to bring the Lions within one (8-7) at the 16:38 mark. Molly McCartin's first goal of the season was a timely one as her free-position shot gave the Engineers some breathing room with 11:56 to go. Exactly 1:20 later, Ross kept Emerson within striking distance courtesy of an unassisted goal. Little's solo effort extended MIT's margin to 10-8, but Ross struck again while her squad was down two players due to yellow cards. The Engineers capped the scoring when Stephanie Leger redirected a pass from Katie Kauffman with 3:01 left to play.
Ross had a chance to register the equalizer shortly thereafter on a free-position attempt, but her shot was blocked. The Lions retained possession, but blasts by Katie Dodge and Christina Riccitelli were off the mark. A foul gave the Cardinal and Gray the ball, which they did not relinquish.
Kauffman finished with three goals, one assist, three groundballs, and three draw controls. Casey Flynn posted one goal and two assists as Laura Wacker, McCartin, and Leger each scored once. Alex Wright posted four groundballs, three caused turnovers, and two draw controls while Leger contributed three groundballs and two caused turnovers. Wacker added three groundballs as Meghan Wright chipped in two of her own. In net, Allison Hamilos collected eight saves.
In addition to her game-high scoring performance, Ross totaled five draw controls and three groundballs. Gervis and Laura Miley both notched one goal and one assist while Meg Robinson scooped up four groundballs. Meredith Pomeroy recorded three groundballs as Nicole Lecuyer bolstered the defense with two caused turnovers. Dodge picked up three draw controls while Emily Saeger racked up 13 saves and three groundballs.
The Engineers enjoyed slight edges in shots (30-28) and groundballs (23-21), but the Lions had a 13-8 advantage in draw controls, including a 9-0 margin in the second half. The hosts were 4-of-8 in free-positions shots while Emerson was unsuccessful in their seven attempts.
Both squads return to conference play later this week. MIT will host NEWMAC foe Smith College on Saturday, April 10 while Emerson will have a home match-up with GNAC rival Mount Ida College on Thursday, April 8.

Stop Growing Up

What a great face... My youngest is 8 and I hate/love/hate to see him growing up.ReplyDelete
This is adorable beyond words. My 10 year old is a young 10...it is nice to see other boys the same. xxReplyDelete
What a cutie! He's definitely got the growling face down pat :)ReplyDelete
Bless his little cotton socks.ReplyDelete
You've got to love a little kid moment. I too have a 10 year old and relish any moment that she is still my "little" girl.ReplyDelete
Alas they are only young for such a short time!!! But they do grow into really beautiful people....eventually!!!!! xxReplyDelete
Got to be the dissenter here Sweetie, but I couldn't wait till all mine grow up & flew out into the world! I love the fact that they've all made their way so beautifully. They are even managing to not add any more to their collective traffic fines debt which is still the size of a small European country's GNP. What a fabulous Tiger Master K makes!ReplyDelete

What a gorgeous tiger ! Precious memories.ReplyDelete
My Big Girl was 10 yesterday; ears pierced, iPod Touch & some Little Miss Lorna Jane wear. She hit the "tween scene" big time yesterday! But I know she'd still be well & truly up for some face painting, tree climbing & imaginative play with the Barbies and Sylvanian Families. Glad to see there are a few more kids like this around.ReplyDelete
What a gorgeous tiger you got!ReplyDelete
Anette :-)
What fun!! Great face paintingReplyDelete
What a cutie. I love your posts about your boys.ReplyDelete
He's too cute A-M!!ReplyDelete
Love love loveReplyDelete
And so good he is totally onto the allergy - could tell a (scary) story from a (hattend) Syd restaurant - big bday out - and I am still crippled in pain from eating gluten. Talked it through many times before and the worst bit was when they took away one dish - they brought back pasta. Nice. Coeliac means wot? (ohh and I din't eat that dish - the g was hidden).
So on a mission to get the public to understand food allergies are real and awful. Can your son be my front-man?!!!! Food allergies are at epidemic levels!
Where is Michael Pollen when we need him?!
Now that is a face paint that is worth the money! Love it.ReplyDelete

Oh A-M, no wonder he made your day. Precious indeed. J xReplyDelete

gorgeous! glad you're having a fun time with your kids. I can't wait till our school holidays start tomorrow afternoon.ReplyDelete
Great tiger face! He is adorable.ReplyDelete
I need to remember to let my kids be little boys. To be silly, make mistakes and be noisy is such a natural state for them. Thanks for reminding me to let them be.

this is beyond precious... stay forever young tiger heart!ReplyDelete
He's adorable! And that is some great face painting! My six year old daughter loved it and just asked if we could go there too! I wish sweetie, I wish!ReplyDelete
Hi is such a cutie!!!ReplyDelete
Hi is such a cutie!!!ReplyDelete
this gave me almost as much pleasure as it gave him! But don't worry about them growing up, they are still themselves (and I think loving my boys has made me much more understanding of men).ReplyDelete
isnt it great when they show they're still young, makes me want to wrap mine up and preserve him in time when he does it!ReplyDelete

It's that time of year again, a time for fir trees, twinkling lights – and cursing yourself for not living in a warmer climate. So why not consider getting a job that you can do from the beach?
Not only are there a ton of tourism-related jobs you can do from the beach, but thanks to modern technology, anyone with a laptop and wireless Internet access can set up shop on the beach.
And don't underestimate the power a beautiful, relaxing setting can have on your creativity and productivity. German composer Richard Wagner apparently wrote his music in a villa overlooking Italy's Tyrrhenian Sea, Chinese sages are said to have written their poetry on island pavilions and some of the great tech minds of our time created their innovations in California's Bay Area, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi points out in his book, "Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention."

Regional Consultation on Transtional Justice Development in the MENA Region
Date: 7 - 9 November 2012
Location: Cairo, Egypt
A Regional Consultation on Transitional Justice Developments in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region will be jointly organized by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence (the Special Rapporteur), and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Regional Centre in Cairo.
The Regional Consultation will bring together some 80 participants, including government officials, and representatives from national human rights institutions and civil society.
Overall Objectives
The Regional Consultation will take stock of the steps taken by the participating countries of the region in the area of transitional justice. It will create an open forum for the different actors across the MENA region to share experiences and practices on transitional justice initiatives, and identify challenges and needs. It will also look at the way forward, and discuss possible cooperation with national, regional and international stakeholders.
Specific Objectives
The Regional Consultation will aim at:
- Providing an overview of international norms and standards as relevant for transitional justice processes;
- Introducing the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence to transitional justice actors in the MENA region, and his vision on the implementation of the mandate;
- Examining and discuss pressing transitional justice issues and current challenges arising from developments in the MENA region and reflect on recommendations to address them;
- Sharing experiences and let others in the region benefit from lessons learned from on-going transnational justice developments as well as past experiences;
- Facilitating coordination and collaboration between various national and international actors working on transitional justice in the MENA region;
- A report reflecting transitional justice developments and experiences in the region, and
- Allowing the Special Rapporteur to gather information on transitional justice developments, trends, practices and needs in the MENA region, which will assist the mandate-holder in providing technical assistance and advisory services to Members States in a targeted and efficient manner. The information gathered may also inform future reports and areas of research on issues relevant to the mandate.
The Regional Consultation will take place around five plenary sessions:
- Transitional Justice: National Consultation and Public Participation: This session will highlight the crucial role of consultation and participation, including relevant mechanisms, of all actors in the process of transitional justice throughout the transitional justice process and beyond the initial consultation phase. This includes civil society actors and victims' groups, affected communities including minorities, internally displaced people and refugees.
- Transitional Justice and Gender: this session will focus on the need for special measures that would allow a real and meaningful participation of women in transitional justice processes. It will look at measures that have already been adopted and discuss next steps to ensure that women's needs are adequately taken into account and the harm they suffered is properly addressed.
- Transitional Justice, Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and Development: the session will stress the need for transitional justice processes and mechanisms to take account of the root causes of conflict and repressive rule, and address violations of all rights, explore how transitional justice processes could be articulated with other policies and measures aimed for example at promoting economic growth and development, access to basic services and goods, fighting corruption and recovering stolen assets.
- Transitional Justice and Security Sector Reform: the session will expose lessons learned in the MENA region and beyond to help illustrating practical examples of institutional reform initiatives, including vetting, that aim at preventing the recurrence of violations.
- National Justice Systems and Transitional Justice Processes: the session will explore the role of national justice systems in the MENA region addressing crimes under international law, as well as any relevant lessons learned and challenges in this regard. Additionally, it will discuss the role that amnesties can play in transitional justice processes, while taking into account limits on their permissible scope, and providing an overview of applicable international norms and standards.
The Regional Consultation will bring together some 80 participants from seven countries of the MENA region (Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia and Yemen), including three government officials, one representative from national human rights institutions, and two representatives from the civil society per country. UN Residents Coordinators and representatives of regional and international NGOs, as well as the League of Arab States will also attend the Regional Consultation. National and international experts, including from OHCHR and UNDP, will facilitate the discussions.
The consultation will take place over three days. Each of the five topics identified above will be discussed through a plenary session during which a panel of experts and practitioners will expose their views and analyses.
The panellists' presentations will include national as well as international and comparative perspectives. They will be followed by an open discussion. A closing session will be held to discuss next steps. The languages of the Regional Consultation will be Arabic, English and French.

Smyrna Town Council held a special council meeting Aug. 29 to continue discussions on the proposed police station.
Smyrna Town Council held a special council meeting Aug. 29 to continue discussions on the proposed police station.
Council voted to move forward with the expansion in early August after learning of possible USDA loans for the project. However, the discussions have continued since then.
Four members of Smyrna Town Council asked for the meeting as they felt there needed to be some sort of clarification on several topics including how much the town could afford the proposed expansion and the possible tax increase on residents.
Councilwoman Valerie White said this discussion has gone on long enough and they need to make an actual decision. Councilwoman Joanne Masten wanted information on how much it would cost to operate a larger station.
While council members wanted questions answered, some didn't feel the need for the meeting.
"I think we need to stay on the course we're going down in the Finance Committee meetings," said Councilman Bob Johnson.
Johnson, who is a member of the committee, has reiterated over and over again the Finance Committee won't know of the impact of the project until the 2013 budget is done.
Needs vs. benefits
Talk on the subject went back and forth as council members had a variety of questions and concerns.
One question asked by a few council members, including Councilman Jeff Flairty, was that of the specific needs of the project and the aspects seen as beneficial, but not necessarily needed. Flairty basically wanted to know if certain aspects of the $4.9 proposed expansion could be cut to make the project cost less.
On hand to answer such questions were the individuals responsible for the feasibility study: Ken Fearn and Wayde Clendaniel of Fearn-Clendaniel Architects, Inc. and Ed Ide, of engineering and construction management firm i3a.
Clendaniel said there are only a few things they could cut out of the project such as a tactical training room and storage, which adds up to $400,000.
"All the other aspects are things you absolutely need," Clendaniel said.
Impact on residents
Another concern has been the impact on the residents. When the feasibility results were initially released this spring, it was stated that the project would be a 4.5-cent tax increase per $100,000 of assessed value, or $45 per year. At the special council meeting, the tax increase discussed was slightly lower though. Flairty said based on the numbers provided to him by the town's manager of accounting Gary Stulir, the tax increase would be 4.22-cents per $100 of assessed value.
And the debate continues
Council continued to ask questions to see if there was anything else they could possibly cut to make the cost of the expansion cheaper, but some questions couldn't be answered. Flairty asked could the feasibility study be modified, if approved.
Id said yes: "If you approve the feasibility study, it doesn't mean you approve a $4.9 million expansion or the plan."
Since voting on the feasibility study wasn't on the agenda, council couldn't vote but will continue discussions with a possible vote at the Tuesday, Sept. 4 Smyrna Council meeting.

Logging in to Edison
Interactive Access
You can log in to Edison using SSH (Secure Shell) with the following command from any UNIX, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, etc. command shell or terminal:
ssh -l username edison.nersc.gov
There are several SSH-capable clients available for Windows, Mac, and UNIX/Linux machines. NERSC does not support or recommend any particular client.
Edison has 12 login nodes. You will be randomly connected to one of those 12 when you ssh to edison.nersc.gov. In all cases it will appear to you as if you are on "edison.nersc.gov."
The login nodes are where you compile codes, submit jobs, and view data. The login nodes on Edison are "external," meaning they are not directly connected to Edison's internal high-speed "Aries" network. Because the login nodes are external you can log in and work with data and files when the main system is undergoing maintenance.
Please do not execute long-running applications on the login nodes. Instead, use a batch script and submit it to the batch system so that the applications run on the Edison compute nodes.
Accelerated X11 Performance
NX is a freely available software package that greatly improves X11 performance over the wide area network. NERSC recommends NX for those having X11 performance issues when running X applications at NERSC. See the Connecting to NERSC for more information.

On Thursday, the NFL dumped out almost all of its shitty news while most of the country was firing up the grill. The only thing missing was news on Josh Gordon's appeal ruling. A ruling is expected sometime this month, but there is some bad news for Josh Gordon today. Reports out of Cleveland are that Gordon was arrested and charged with driving while impaired in Raleigh, North Carolina. He was booked in Wake County Detention Center at 4 a.m Saturday morning.
Adam Schefter adds that Raleigh police captain Tommy Klein said Gordon was "appreciably impaired." Before today, it was expected that Josh Gordon was already looking at a one-year suspension for a failed drug test. Now he's likely looking at much worse.
While awaiting the decision on his appeal, some close to the Browns WR were wondering aloud if a one-year suspension would effectively end his career, with the thought being time away from the team facilities and support would do him in.

Nearly four years to the month since the city of Port St. Joe cut the ribbon on a glistening new $21 million water plant answers to questions about water quality remain largely elusive.
Nearly four years to the month since the city of Port St. Joe cut the ribbon on a glistening new $21 million water plant answers to questions about water quality remain largely elusive.
And a preliminary report from the company that designed the plant offers little beyond general suggestions, lacking in specifics on achieving goals and offering no indication of the costs to the city for success.
Utility rates have risen more than 50 percent while the water distribution system has expanded to include nearly all the southern end of the county, from White City and Overstreet to Cape San Blas.
The city has received federal grants and state appropriations, but has still taken on millions of dollars in debt while constructing the new water plant, expanding the distribution system and the ongoing replacement of some 20 miles of aging pipe.
But as they discussed �staying the course� with a locked-in-by-ordinance 5 percent hike in utility rates come October, commissioners expressed frustration with upping the price on what Commissioner William Thursby characterized as a �tainted product.�
Port St. Joe resident Ann White seemed to speak for many when she asked commissioners whether there was �dead end in sight for this water problem.�
�The water was have now is not drinkable,� White said. �We pay a good price for it and then many of us go out and buy bottled water, so we are paying twice.
�Do we have any hope of getting good water any time soon?�
In many ways, the city has been buffeted by outside forces throughout the path to present.
The Northwest Florida Water Management District, seeking to take as many residents in the region off the coastal Floridan Aquifer as possible to prevent saltwater intrusion, partnered with the city with a vision of creating a regional water supplier.
The vision remains within the district offices. The district assisted in the purchase of the freshwater canal that links the Chipola River to the city�s water plant and provides the surface water source.
The vision is that the city may one day serve everywhere from Mexico Beach to Apalachicola.
To use that water, more caustic than deep well water, the city charted relatively new treatment processes, with CDM Smith designing the system and Siemens providing the equipment.
A plant in Dalton, GA is the closest clone in the country to the city�s system, city manager Jim Anderson said.
And from the outset the city has had issues providing clear water from the tap.
Problems with the plant, treatment protocols, maintenance and upkeep of a new system and equipment were compounded by a water distribution system that in parts dated to the Depression.
The combination of the caustic water, old pipes and treating chemicals combined to turn the water red-to-brown in large swaths of the distribution system � one of the headaches throughout has been the randomness of problems.
While the city�s engineers said they noted a �potential� for problems due to old pipes, the extent and intractability of those problems, which scoured washed clothes, rendered water unpalatable, clogged up home water filters among other impacts, seemed to catch all off guard.
The rates the city has been charging for water, as well as ongoing problems of quality, were also spurred from outside City Hall, including a town hall meeting held before a standing-room-only crowd at the Centennial Building.
The Board of County Commissioners, specifically former commissioner Bill Williams, publicly assailed the city for its water and prices and during a pan-frying of Mayor Mel Magidson in one meeting said the city could not justify its rates without a rate study.
That study in turn highlighted that based on the cost of producing a gallon of water combined with the debt the city was taking on with infrastructure, the city was actually charging less than it should to meet its bills.
�It turned out to be a good thing,� Magidson said. �(The rate study) told us what we needed to charge.�
Anderson said, �It is unfortunate that rates are going up but it has been effective (in addressing debt).�
However, the water quality issues that continue to plague the system undercut arguments for maintaining the current rate structure, as commissioners acknowledged.
�Any price increase is hard to swallow,� said Commissioner Phil McCroan.
The anticipated report on pilot testing from CDM, delayed for at least two months before its release two weeks ago, provided little insight into solution.
�They have general suggestions, but no costs or specifics,� Commissioner Rex Buzzett said.
The bulletin from the report is that in addition to iron from various, and in places unidentified, sources there is also manganese present in water coming from the plant.
Manganese, as with iron, can be a source of �dirty� or �dark� water, the report notes.
Manganese was also the critical issue in Dalton after its plant came online, Anderson noted. Once the plant addressed and solved the manganese issue, the water clarity improved dramatically, he said.
The report recommends additional testing to identify treatment solutions for the manganese in finished water � without specifics or costs � as well as to continue the replacement of aging pipes.
The report also noted several issues beyond the system main distribution system � galvanized mains in homes and businesses and seasonal users � and provides suggestions for addressing them, but without costs.
�In summary,� the report details, �the discolored water problem in PSJ is a multi-dimensional problem that requires multiple strategies at the (Surface Water Treatment Plant), distribution system and within the customers� homes.
Testing will be performed that will result in a recommendation for a change in corrosion control chemical feed and/or process changes to reduce the instances of red water in the distribution system.�
Buzzett has pushed for CDM, in partnership with the city�s engineers, Preble Rish, which has coordinated the plant construction and infrastructure improvements, to provide more concrete information and a path forward.
Buzzett said last week that no one on the commission has been more outspoken or more aggressive in pushing for answers from the various experts � from the state down � the city has relied upon.
The goal is for a full workshop before commissioners in the coming weeks.
He said he would continue to �pound sand� until solutions are found.
�We�re going to get it done,� Buzzett said. �We are going to hold feet to fire.�

First Impressions
It was a bit tricky to follow and I do like the concept so I can't wait too see how the rest of this series unfolds.
Lock if duplicate
I havn't looked them up but just by ear there are a lot of the Bakuman seiyus in this show. That means good voice acting since I like the delivery they use. Story line seems nicely done too. We'll see how the next few weeks go but so far I'd recommend checking it out.
1 year of chemo = lifetime worth of patience
Episode 1
One of the weaker series imo for the season. This was boring and a bit confusing as well. Seems like this group knows a few things as well as Shino and Sousuke. Otherwise, a bit boring and generic.
It looks like Shino is also a skinwalker. Haven't seen that in recent anime series.
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
This series has not streamed on Crunchyroll yet? So how can people talk about it without seeing it Tash?
Check out my channel: YouTube.com/BDT87
Not the best start to a series, but I'm willing to continue further
It's been out for 3 days everyone's definitely bound to have come across it online
Ahh so you downloaded it illegally. I shall wait for Crunchyroll to stream it.
Check out my channel: YouTube.com/BDT87
I watched it online so therefore I didn't download it and if you're pointing fingers at me than explain to me how you watched Senran Kagura since it's not legally available to stream and thus you must have downloaded it since you delivered your first impressions on it BDT87
I'm not pointing fingers, Im just saying that I think you downloaded it, why do that when it would be available to crunchyroll users, as in support crunchyroll. And I didn't download Senran I watched it live on Japan TV like some other people do on here. Thank you.

I'm a premium member and therefore I'm already supporting it and I haven't mentioned that I won't be watching it on this site haven't I? So since you gave your first impressions on the show and given the depth you went in with the plot suggests that you understand Japanese then and if not you must have downloaded the fansub. Everyone on this site has watched anime online elsewhere other than crunchyroll given the region restrictions that this site has for its anime list.
Synopsis, and it's not a heavy story than some series to understand, which I can understand japanese without subs. Anyway at least both of us didn't download it illegally that all that matters.
Check out my channel: YouTube.com/BDT87
It seem interesting but we dont know much about the past of the 3 main characters and nothing was clear about them except that they were ..and the sword and the church ?
So far the character design is pretty good but not as fancy as Amnesia. I just love Kakihara san and Murasame is Nobuhiko .The two has very similar voices lol.
But I always like these type of anime , humans and demons etc etc .
Well lets see how it goes.
But I agree , it does not give a strong impression at the begining
My Avatar is seiyuu Morita san and Me cosplaying at AnimeExpo
Lesson to be learned here: Dont assume people download stuff, or that they dont support CR if they do (if they have a subscription then they are supporting the site).
Not sure what to think about this, just read the synopsis and it doesnt really sound too interesting, but I'll watch the ep tomorrow.
Poi is the new Desu!
lesson learned this was a bad anime
it was a chore to watch this
His Holiness Optimus Maximus Decimus Meridius Colossus Nemesis Nexus Genesis
Unimpressed with the first episode, but will keep watching and see where it leads.
The way I hold you and the night just seems to fly
Episode 10
From the way this anime is moving it doesnt seem to be a 12 only or 1 season. So it looks like Shino is destined to gather all 8 of them but so far there are only 5 .or..6
There is not much action in this episode but a lot of mystery around what happened 5 years ago and this Shadow who seem to be the half of Souske and the others missing ....has just appeared .
Overall this anime's writting is not strong but its not boring either, nor annoying me .There are lots of characters and thats why it seem slow because they are trying to introduce them one by one and develop them... . The interactions between the characters are actually pleasant and not forced nor annoying.
They are developing the story slowly as they introduce the characters and the "shadow" is the newest character and we are on episode 10 already, almost the end of the season.
The director of this anime is Yamazaki , the same for Durarara.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Also regarding the Shadow, he has Asakeno's heart, half of Souske soul who has all the memory of the past and in that one recall clip his eyes are already golden. Also in the end scene on the roof with the shadow , how did he know Shino likes those eyes when he didnt say it out loud. And there is a female "demon " in the church ? THis church is pretty funny weird.
I wont consider this anime bad,
its just that its not written strong enough with the core plot ,,,becuase there are many subplots written .
Since I like genre with demons and dudes and I am still curious about where the story leads to so I am following this one.
Yeap... this anime story is indeed picking up , the main plot that is.... I hope its not ending at 13 becuase it doesnt seem like the story concludes at 13.
Episode 12
Shino is just too .... pretty ...cute....
Anyway, its just too bad that a lot lost interest in this anime because this is finally getting to the main story line of Shino . And the mystery that surrounds him becuase of Murasame and Murasame's true form and the mystery of the Shadow , Sosuke's true other 1/2 self. There are so many interesting things happening and I want to know how come this and that.
Indeed there are a lot of of questions or holes in the story , there are too many mystery and and its is coming out vague.
howeve it has a lot of potential as well,,,.
Episode 13
Season Ends.
The shadow is now more and more within his midst. The main plot is finally unfolding lol... on to the next season
matta ne..

The reason I love this book is because Nyoshul Khenpo was my Guru's main Dzogchen master...and at the moment he is living life as a wandering yogi putting NK's pith instructions into practice.

Anyways, this was a really exciting chapter! Mahjong actions here are the best.
For those wondering what will Naruka do, just keep in mind that Usuzan had only managed to catch up to Rinkai AFTER the sergeant match so Usuzan's strong players are at the last few spots. That doesn't mean Naruka would be a pushover as she is Usuzan's ace.
Oh! Here's a very good analysis of the round by an /a/non:
Spoiler for Satoha time:
Unrelated but interesting to note: It seems that Himematsu is low on skilled players currently. Kyouko originally wanted to be the team's strategist but the shortage of skilled players left her with no choice but to fight. This is the reason why Ikune took Kyouko's advice on Suzu and Kinue.

About Naruka, it is possible that she is the ace of Usuzan. But we don't have any solid proof yet. After all, while it is customary in the present for the ace to be in the vanguard position many teams still put their aces in other position. Like for example Himematsu who put their ace in chuuken, Shindouji who put their ace in the fuku-taisho and taisho position.
Nonetheless, I do agree that the stronger players of Usuzan may be further on the back of their lineup. Their chuuken, fuku-taisho and taisho has a very good chance of being scary. After all, Hayarin must have seen something about them. Right?

[this post is incomplete, but I am tired and so I am publishing it in its unfinished state]
I grew up Geneva where I watched anime on French TV. So because anime/manga's unaturally popular in france ("The French exception"), I was watching Goku beat Freezer back in the early 1990s.
Forget the USA, they're behind Europe and way behind France concerning the popularity of manga, and unlike in Europe, the market has been growing very slowly in the USA (and it's still very much a sub-culture). The Japanese refer to the phenomenon as "The French exception". Aside from Japan itself, France is their biggest market for manga, and about the only one in the West where Korean and Hong-Kong titles also sell. Beside France (with Belgique and Quebec in tow), manga sell extremely well in Asia, then also in Spain and Germany, and Brazil. Only then comes the US market.
French TV execs got a bit overeager and started buying the wrong series, not fully grasping that there was a lot of anime designed for young adults and adults, while the Japanese studios that sold them didn't understand that in Europe, cartoons are for children and they would be shown to children. And so the more violent stuff ended up shown in children slots...
I was one of the kids watching the "more violent stuff", and I was completely hooked on animes like Saint Seiya when I was six years old (which is sort of disturbing now that I think about it since Saint Seiya is an extraordinarily bloody anime (decapitations, mutilations, amputations, etc)).
Anyhow, when you have watched as much anime as I have, you really start to hunger for anime/manga that break the mold and do something trully unexpected (or maybe this is due to the trauma of watching the Fist of the North Star when I was five).
For example, if you have never seen the bad guy win, try watching episode 20 of Silent Mobius:
[removed link due to warning]
Watching Ganoza (the villain) bow in victory to viewer at the end of the episode is something you will probably never see again in anime.
Another example would be the anime s-CRY-ed.
Spoiler for why s-CRY-ed is special:
Which brings me back to Saki.
My reaction to the first chapter of Achiga-hen was that Ritz was setting Kiyosumi to lose in the finals, and I have never seen a tournament-style anime where the main characters's team loses in the finals.
[I am tired and am skipping explanation of why Achiga-hen might win the finals. Maybe later.]
Why it would be a good thing for Saki to lose in either the team or individual part of national tournament
Do you think watching Saki/Kiyosumi win the national tournament three times in row would be interesting? Or even twice? Unless Ritz plans to end the manga at the end of this national tournament, Saki needs to lose, in either in the team or individuals. Otherwise, if Saki wins both parts of the nationals, who will be left to challenge her next year? Especially with many monsters like Teru graduating?
Compare Saki to prince of tennis: both are tournament-style animes with ridiculous superpowers. So what happenned after Seishun won the national in prince of tennis? The manga ended. (Is anyone even reading the "New Prince of Tennis" by the way?)
If Saki wins both the team and individuals, then Saki the manga will slowly die from lack of interest, like prince of tennis. While Achiga winning the finals would piss a lot of people off, it would guarrenty another national tournament arc...

And cedec, first of all, thank you for mentioning that part of Silent Mobius, one of the greatest unsung troll moments in anime. Unfortunately, your argument gets seriously hurt for one thing: Nodoka's future with Saki (probably, it hasn't been mentioned in ages) depends on Kiyosumi doing damn well in the nationals, and if you know this series, you know how much that big breasted dullard is put on a pedestal. A pity, since everything else points at a not so happy ending for our ragtag band of lesbians, after all, the big lesson of the show is to have fun, not to win.

"If I can make it to the nationals at the high school level, would it be all right to remain here?"
Father's answer: "If you can, I'll consider it."
Since Kiyosumi is already at the nationals, Nodoka has already fufilled her promise to her dad. This isn't an issue any more.

I think it's a bit more so because Ritz has definitely shown herself to be capable of presenting characters who get by on pluck, luck, hard work while working off a -relatively for the series, what with some of the ridiculous ka-splah-bang flying around- mundane skill set.

On to the new chapter, part of me was actually relief that Satoha succeeds in breaking Yuuki's dealership. Maybe I speak too soon since the vanguard isn't over yet, but if Yuuki did somehow beat Satoha here, then there is a likely chance that she maybe able to beat Teru in the finals.
On related note, it occurred to me that if Ritz decides to continue with her hype killing streaks (I hope not) first with Eisui and now Shiraitodai, the next thing she can do to top herself off is having Kuro or Yuuki beat Teru in point gain in the finals. I fear she might actually dare enough to do it. Just imagine the horrors of fans reaction.
Just saying in case this is what she's planning on doing, Ritz is truly the most fearsome monster of Sakiverse who enjoys crushing hopes and dreams of her manga fans (mostly Shiraitodai fans at least).

We now have an image of each of Teru's potential foe :Kuro , Yuuki , Satoha , Naruka,Suzu . and so I wil star guessing again.
We can't say much about Naruka for now but she seem even weaker will than Saki (And it is hard to be ,that girl is afraid of everything) soa I can't see her beeing a treat for Teru , whereas Satoha is exatly what is laking to the trio Yuuki/Kuro/ ??? to do something interisting in the final.
Unless Naruka is hiding her game,pun intend (somthing really likely) we can already determine that Usuzan won't pass.
Suzu is still a mysterie ,In the sens that it seem she is a Bomb that goes off whenever and with a lot of 'dud' so...
Another thing that I remarked from the early scan is that for this match Yuuki is already starting to do what must be done agaisnt Teru , Changing her game ,and Satoha also look prone to that.
