Weakened Earl Mostly Spares East Coast, Insurers
After a week of worrying and preparation, Hurricane Earl managed to mostly miss the mid-Atlantic, and largely fizzled out before it reached Massachusetts. That was good news for people with coastal homes and businesses, and turned what was expected to be a modestly costly storm for U.S. insurers into one that appears to have been almost a complete nonevent.
In the days leading up to the storm, insurance companies with customers on the East Coast began organizing an army of claims representatives and scrambling their fleets of mobile response units.
But State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. still had its mobile claims center in Charlottesville, Va. on standby on Saturday, instead of deployed along the coast, waiting on damage reports that appear unlikely to materialize. Allstate Corp.'s ALL -0.68 % mobile unit was in waiting mode in Raleigh, N.C.
Farmers Insurance, a unit of Zurich Financial moved its claims bus from its Raleigh staging area to the parking lot of a Wal-Mart WMT -0.45 % in Virginia Beach, Va., after the storm passed by off the coast Friday morning. But the 15 claims adjusters it had on hand didn't have any claims to process, said Riko Metzroth, a vice president and Virginia state executive director for the company.
State Farm, the largest home and auto insurer in the U.S., had heard from six customers in the mid-Atlantic region with vehicles damaged by the storm, and three people with homeowners claims. In New England, State Farm had so far recorded two claims, said Jeff McCollum, a spokesman.
Those figures didn't include any from North Carolina's Outer Banks, and McCollum said that homeowners with vacation properties could take a few days to return to the barrier islands to check on their homes and, if needed, file claims.
Hurricane Earl at one point seemed like it could have struck the North Carolina coast and maintained its hurricane strength long enough to inflict damage to the Hamptons in New York and Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Forecasters had warned the entire East Coast to be on guard in case the storm shifted westward.
Instead, it shifted east as it approached North Carolina, and lost strength before it passed off the coast of Massachusetts. A monitoring station in Nantucket, Mass., reported peak gusts of 54 miles an hour, according to Risk Management Solutions, a disaster-modeling firm. A storm must have sustained gusts of 74 miles an hour to be considered a category one hurricane.
The remnants of Hurricane Earl crossed Nova Scotia as a tropical storm Saturday.
RMS, which typically estimates the insured losses of such storms, said on its website that the uneventful nature of the storm meant it wouldn't be providing a damage estimate. Forecasters have said that a variety of factors, including extremely high water temperatures in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, have indicated for months that this year's hurricane season would be extraordinarily eventful. But the season, which typically hits its peak in the first half of September, has so far failed to live up to the dire warnings.
Still, the National Hurricane Center is monitoring a "large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico" that it says has a 30% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone in the next two days.
So on Friday night, after agents and claims adjusters from Farmers chatted with Virginia Beach residents in the Wal-Mart parking lot, the insurance company's bus was on the road again, Metzroth said. The bus is headed to Texas. Just in case.

Advanced methods of extending Group Policy
Updated: January 21, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
Advanced methods of extending Group Policy
The following table lists advanced methods that you can use to extend Group Policy functionality.
For administrators only: Write an .adm file
For software developers only: Write an extension to Group Policy
Creating custom .adm files
You can consider creating custom .adm files if the supplied template, System.adm, is inadequate. However, it is recommended that you use the supplied template.
Administrative Templates propagate registry settings to a large number of computers without requiring you to have detailed knowledge of the registry. In the Windows Server 2003 family, Group Policy is used to set registry-based policies. In Windows NT 4.0, the System Policy Editor (Poledit.exe) was used to set System Policy.
For more information, see "Implementing Registry-based Policy" at the Microsoft Web site.
Creating Microsoft Management Console extensions
Developers can create extensions to Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins to provide program-specific user interfaces for setting Group Policy. For more information, see "Group Policy" at the Microsoft Web site and "MSDN Library" at the Microsoft Web site.

Each year the California AOC Center for Families, Children, & the Courts hosts the Conference on Self-Represented Litigants.
The conference brings self-help center representatives together for three days of training and networking. Hundreds come from all over the state.
Dozens of sessions are programmed to provide specific information on a particular feature or function of the court and/or judicial process.
Other sessions are designed to focus on a specific population.
The information gathered at this training is designed to help staff best provide guidance to persons who choose to represent themselves in court without the help of an attorney.
Materials prepared by the AOC Center for Families, & the Courts are made available to all participants.
Handouts provided by subject matter speakers provide additional educational resources for participants to bring back to their courts or centers.
Self-help centers rely on the services of family law facilitators, small claims advisors, legal services providers, court administrators, legal aid providers, and law librarians.
As a cost and time-saving measure, this year's conference was combined with the annual small claims conference.
This annual conference assures centers have the resources they need to meet their growing demands.

All Rise...
Appellate Judge James A. Stewart isn't afraid of snakes, if they're only bad CGI.
The Charge
"Do you know what history is, mate? It's layers—the Romans make a layer, the Saxons, the Medievals, Georgians, Victorians, your mum, my mum. But these days, layers require forms to make sure you're not building on previous layers, so we have to take a peek."
The Case
The inspiration for Bonekickers, as explained in the behind-the-scenes features, came from a nonfiction British series, Time Team, which follows archaeologists on their digs. The series follows an archaeological team from Wessex University—obsessed team leader Gillian Magwilde (Julie Graham, Napoleon and Josephine: A Love Story), voice of reason Ben (Adrian Lester, Hustle), grizzled Gregory Preston (Hugh Bonneville, Notting Hill), and young intern Viv Davis (Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Doctor Who)—as they make spectacular finds all worth killing for each week, mostly in the vicinity of Bath, England. Something tells me that Time Team isn't very much like this.
The creators, Mathew Graham and Ashley Pharoah, brought the original British version of Life on Mars to life.
Bonekickers features six episodes on three discs:
Disc One
• "Warriors"
Disc Two
• "The Cradle of Civilisation"
Disc Three
• "Follow the Gleam"
In a behind-the-scenes piece to go with "The Cradle of Civilisation," one of the people involved with the series recalls his concerns about a "potentially silly" CGI snake. Yes, the snake, which just didn't seem to move like anything real, lived up to that potential. Of course, the show lost a lot of ground with me in the first episode, which featured a TV preacher planning a Holy War and going berserk with a sword as he searched for the cross of Jesus. That opening misstep—the result of the creators' ambition to make their series both a serious drama and a fun action romp—may be the reason there's no mention of "Series One" anywhere on the DVD box; I don't think I'd have stuck around for Episode Two, let alone Series Two.
Since I'm a reviewer, though, I had to watch all six episodes. Thus, I can tell you that Bonekickers isn't a total train wreck, even if it's hardly must-see TV. The acting is likable enough to breathe life into cardboard characters. Occasionally, a serious thought breaks through, as when Gregory notes the shock with which his colleagues react to World War I skeletons. "These men were our great-grandfathers, Viv. They're not ready to be part of history yet," he tells his youngest colleague. There's also a nifty twist in the final episode, as Gillian may realize her personal quest, to find the famed sword Excalibur (although that episode has a few silly twists as well). The final episode wraps up the season's storylines.
The plentiful behind-the-scenes featurettes have a recurring theme: hasty rewrites amid budget wrangles. As it's discussed, you can think of moments where a bit of fudging might have been visible, but the show generally looks good (except for that snake).
Those behind-the-scenes bits go into just about every aspect of the production, although they didn't get around to interviewing the catering crew.
Bonekickers is a lovingly produced show that doesn't quite gel. It's okay, but it could have been so good…

I am 41. Hubby is almost 43. I am trying to figure out which genetic tests are recommended.
Im sure they will go over it during my next appt, but I am confused also about timing.
According to my lmp (apr 23) I would be 9w3d, but last thurs (8w3d) I had a transvaginal us in which the baby only measured at 6,5 weeks. The Dr wouldn't give me a due date wanting to be very accurate w dates so I assume they will do another us at my next appt for dating,
I'm questioning because from wehat I read the CVS is time sensitive. If there is a question of 2 weeks when would they actually do the test and is it safe. Same question for the nuchal scan...isnt that very date specific? My next appt is 7/11 which, according to lmp would be 11w1 day

Essendon Bombers defender Cale Hooker suffers a recurring nightmare at Punt Road end of the MCG
- From: news.com.au
- April 25, 2014
AFL supporters have great memories.
Just ask Essendon's Cale Hooker, who was burned on Twitter after being burned by Collingwood star Dane Swan during the Anzac Day clash at the MCG.
With just under six minutes to go in the third quarter, Swan left the Bombers defender in his wake with a brilliant goal on the run to extend the Magpies' lead.
The goal was eerily similar to Lance Franklin's effort against the Bombers in 2010, when the then-Hawks star made Hooker look like he was running on the spot.
And on exactly the same patch of turf.
The fans quick to remind him of it on Friday. Hooker was referred to as a "treadmill" over his lack of speed, while some suggested the left forward flank at the Punt Road end be named after him, as that is where the Buddy incident happened as well.
Even the official Collingwood account got in on the act, tweeting: "Our champ burrrrrnss off Cale Hooker to waddle into the pocket before slotting the goal of the day on his left with no room to move #gopies."
Swan starred for the Magpies, kicking four goals in an 83-60 victory.
Check out the video of the two goals in the player above
Cale Hooker had a look of "Not again" written all over his face. #AFLPiesDons— Shane Sullivan (@ShaneSullivan32) April 25, 2014
If ever part of an AFL ground should be named after a player, Cale Hooker sure deserves that pocket. #AFLPiesBombers— Ben Hogan (@BenHogan39) April 25, 2014
The familiar shape of Cale Hooker being made to look sluggish on that MCG flank. #ANZACDay #AFLPiesDons #Budweiser— Kit Harvey (@HarvsK) April 25, 2014

Cale Hooker growing increasingly tired of chasing blokes around that boundary line before they slot them from the pocket. #AFLPiesDons— Justin Falconer (@jfalconer6) April 25, 2014
Cale Hooker just gave up while chasing Swan. Not good enough. #aflpiesdons— Trent MacDonald (@TMacDonald_) April 25, 2014
Originally published as Bomber's nightmare: Oops, I did it again

Doctor's Orders: Count Calories
In my Shortcut to Size diet, I don't talk too much about calories. But that does NOT mean that they're not important. However, based on the amount of each macronutrient (protein, carbs, and fat) that I suggest you eat every day, you will consume the proper amount of calories to grow.
Every gram of carbs has approximately four calories, every gram of protein has four calories, and every gram of fat has about nine calories. This calorie differential explains why bodybuilders, even those who are not on a low-fat diet, need to pay attention to calories-per-macronutrient.
To gain muscle, you must consume more calories than you burn each day. Otherwise your body will not expend calories on muscle growth. Shoot for at least 20 calories per pound of bodyweight on days you work out.
When you work out, you burn a good 400-1000 extra calories depending on the workout type, intensity, duration, and your personal body weight. Thus, regardless of whether your goal is to gain muscle or lose fat, you should be eating more on workout days and much less on rest days to prevent fat gain.
Even though you are maximizing muscle growth on the Shortcut to Size program, on rest days your total calorie consumption drops down to about 17 per pound of body weight. After all, you want to gain muscle and minimize fat.
Active Rest
Remember that every rest day should be an active rest day. Rest days are for recovery; they're not an excuse to be lazy. Get out and hit 15-30 minutes of HIIT cardio today, or perform 30-60 minutes of your favorite activity: hiking, biking, walking, playing a sport, etc.

Here's Jon Loomer's response to the Facebook ad video I posted the other day. He makes some good points and I think he gets into the challenge of using Facebook ads effectively. There's some good discussion in the comments, too, about the pressure put on businesses to invest money into their Facebook audiences.
Are Facebook ads a waste of money? That's what a popular video called Facebook Fraud is saying. Here's another perspective and some things to consider.

The Chiefs have announced they have signed prop Pauliasi Manu
for next season to replace injured prop Josh Hohneck.
Hohneck badly damaged his ankle in a farming accident while
drenching cattle. The extent of Hohneck's injury and the
predicted rehabilitation length means he will not be fit to
play Super Rugby for the 2013 season but plans to reappear in
Coach Dave Rennie said: "This is hugely disappointing for us
and Josh. He's a top man and made a big impression on us last
season. However we have found an excellent replacement in
Pauliasi Manu."
Manu had initially signed with the Melbourne Rebels but
through their medical processes was thought to have a
previous neck condition.
Further investigations and multiple opinions by Manu's ITM
Cup doctor and Chiefs' doctor James McGarvey and the NZRU
medical director Dr Ian Murphy have cleared Pauliasi
completely fit to play.
"After Josh's injury we were in the market for a prop and to
get one with his experience was ideal for us," Rennie said.
"Different organisations have varying medical processes, but
we are very comfortable with the high level of investigations
that have taken place in New Zealand, including that of a
spinal specialist which have all cleared Pauliasi fit."
Manu is a member of the Auckland ITM Cup team and played for
the Blues in 2011 and 2012. He joins the Chiefs team for
their first day together on Monday.

As a high-quality imaging method for non-linear motion SAR, back projection (BP) algorithm's huge computational cost hinders its applications. In recent years, the emergence of GPU as a high-performance computing platform counteracts this disadvantage greatly, and brings the BP algorithm into people's perspective. In accord with the SAR's working procedures, the streaming structure is suitable for massive SAR data processing. Thus, a streaming BP algorithm and a piecewise high-order polynomial fitting method for IMU data preprocessing that is compatible to the streaming structure are proposed in this paper. The validity and performances of the fitting method are verified and discussed using actual IMU data. We find that the 9th-order polynomial fitting can meet the requirement of typical actual IMU data processing. The validity of the streaming BP for non-linear motion compensation is verified via actual SAR data, and its computing performance is analyzed and optimized on NVidia's GTX 590. The total runtime of the streaming BP on the GPU platform for an image with size 8192x8192 pixels is about 160 s, which can meet the requirements of many off-line SAR imaging applications.

"The Cheshire Set - not just Gucci and Footballers" Top 5 Page for this destination Cheshire by carlrea
Cheshire Travel Guide: 783 reviews and 1,953 photos
The radio astronomy observatory of the University of Manchester, located near Macclesfield, Cheshire, England. It is home to the 76-meter (250-foot) Lovell Telescope (formerly known as the Mark IA), completed in 1957 under the direction of Bernard Lovell, the first director of the Observatory; this instrument was the first giant steerable radio telescope in the world and is still the third largest of its type. Jodrell Bank is also the operations center for the MERLIN (Multi-element Radio-linked Interferometer Network), a dedicated network of radio telescopes in the United Kingdom
According to a local tradition, in the ground below the great outcrop of sandstone known as the 'Edge' there is a cave in which Arthur and his knights lie sleeping. The story goes that a farmer was on his way to market at the nearby town of Macclesfield when he was stopped by an old man who offered to buy the white horse he was planning to sell. Refusing the low offer, the farmer rode on. Despite much interest, no one bought the horse at the market. On the way back, the same mysterious man appeared and this time the farmer accepted the offer. Leading him to the hillside, the old man laid a hand on some rocks, which opened to reveal iron gates at an entrance into the hill. Within the hill, the astonished farmer saw the great king and his knights, together with their mounts, asleep in a vast cavern. The horse was for one of the knights, and the farmer received a bag of gold for it before he fled, hearing the gates clang shut behind him.
Most of the properties in the village depict a way of life far removed from the present and a closer inspection shows the building methods of old along with the stone slab roofs and hand made bricks. Prestbury village centre is mainly unchanged with shops, public houses and restaurants now frequented by visitors.
The best known building in the village, the centre piece of the village high street is probably the Priest's House', which now houses a well known Bank. The house has a first floor balcony in the centre of the building, which it is said was where the men of cloth would preach to the assembled villagers during Cromwell's era.
The balcony was high enough to prevent the preacher from catching any contagious diseases from his flock during times of plague.
- Pros:Beautiful, upmarket, Lots of history
- Cons:The Cheshire 'set' as they like to call themselves
- In a nutshell:A beautiful place full of old world charm

This is a beautiful retreat hotel which allowed us to get away of the busyness of today's world. The hotel staff was attentive. The flower shop did not know how to handle a cash paying customer and ruined a surprise gift of flowers by calling the room early in the morning and demanding payment before they would deliver the flowers (even though a credit card was given at check-in). This ruined a nice birthday surprise. The bellmen were wonderful. The spa receptionist was rude and disrespectful, the services given were good and the spa facilities were nice. ...

I found this in the Thanksgiving edition of Family Circle in the 80's and I have been making it ever since--for summer bbq's as well.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 small green cabbage, sliced thin or 1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix
- 0.5 (8 ounce) bag red cabbage, sliced
- 1⁄2 cup mayonnaise
- 1⁄4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- Mix all dressing ingredients, add cabbage and stir.
- Refrigerate 2-4 hours or up to 3 days.
Most Helpful
The combination of the mayonnaise and the apple cider vinegar makes this cole slaw almost a cross between a creamy slaw and a vinegrette slaw, both of which we enjoy. I've avoided using red cabbage in slaws ever since years ago when I made a slaw that the color bled out of turning it into an unappetizing 'pink', so I was a little leary about this one. I saw some raving comments on the boards about it and decided I would try it anyway as I had a small head of red cabbage that I needed to use. My family really enjoyed it, with the exception of the youngest 'picky eater' who wouldn't even try it--so she doesn't get to have any say in the rating. ;-) We ate this for dinner after having stood for about 3-4 hours and thought it would benefit from sitting longer. We were right as the following day, the flavors had melded beautifully and I didn't have an unappealing 'pink' slaw...yippee! Thank you for sharing this recipe chia!
Great cole slaw recipe! Took it to a family dinner tonight and it was a hit. I added chopped apples, but other than that I followed the recipe. Thanks, Carole
Delicious cole slaw, we liked the flavor of the celery seed in it. I also added chopped apple and a few raisins, Yummy.

West Texas A&M University wants to build a sprawling sports complex and expand its student center, and it will ask students to pay for the projects by doubling two fees.
WT officials presented the proposals Tuesday at an informational meeting.
"We have the opportunity for growth, and these projects will help us attract and retain students as we start thinking toward the future," WT President J. Patrick O'Brien said.
Students will vote next month on whether to increase the athletic fee from $10 per semester credit hour to $20 per hour, and the student-center fee from $3 per hour to $6 per hour.
The increases would generate enough revenue to finance the projects.
The sports complex, estimated to cost $41 million to $51 million, would include facilities for WT's athletic programs and recreational activities on the north side of the campus in Canyon.
The proposal includes construction of:
A track and field stadium with an infield that would serve as a football practice field;
Two soccer fields, one for competition with a grandstand and the other for practice;
A competition softball field with seating for 2,000;
A competition baseball stadium with seating for 2,000;
A softball fourplex, primarily for recreational use. Fields could be used for competition. Outfields would be large enough to accommodate intramural football and soccer, as well as marching-band practice;
Tennis courts for recreational use, or if the university brings back its tennis athletics program
A field house that would include locker rooms, weight training and offices; and
A 1.6-mile jogging and walking track around the complex.
Additionally, there would be open space for "throwing the Frisbee, cooking out or running the dog" by students and the public, Athletic Director Michael McBroom said.
The open space could include an amphitheater and picnic tables and provide green space on campus.
The public would be charged usage fees, much like those in place at Virgil Henson Activities Center. The complex would be walled.
All facilities would be lighted to expand hours of use, and all playing fields would have artificial turf to conserve water and lower maintenance costs.
Bill Craddock, director of recreational sports, said the expansion plan would greatly benefit intramurals, which now are limited in games because of lighting and field conditions. Fifty flag-football teams, for example, can play only a three-game season, he said.
The student fees would not cover the cost of the field house, which would be built with money raised privately, McBroom said. The field-house cost would range from $20 million to $26 million and is included in the total project tally. WT officials and coaches, as well as Buffs fans, have identified a new field house, containing locker rooms and weight training, as the No. 1 priority.
"This will completely transform the north side of the campus, both for athletics and campus life," McBroom said.
The project would be done in phases, he said.
The softball and baseball parks likely would come first because they would be constructed on open land. Once completed, the existing softball park would give way to the track facility.
An announcement on a head coach for the new track-and-field program could come as early as next week, officials said.
McBroom said passage of the athletic fee would rank WT's fee among the highest nationwide for NCAA Division II schools.
He also said naming rights for stadiums within the proposed complex would be sought. David and Myrt Wilder, WT alums from Plainview, have already pledged money to name the baseball stadium Wilder Park.
WT converted its baseball field to the present softball field when that sport was added in 2006. There is not currently a baseball park; the Buffs played home games last season at Conner Park, Canyon High's home field, and this season will play at the Amarillo National Bank Dilla Villa.
WT on Tuesday also outlined plans to expand the Jack B. Kelley Student Center.
The proposal calls for a $5.7 million, 22,700-square-foot, wedge-shaped addition to be attached to the west side of the existing center.
"We've outgrown our campus living room," said Don Albrecht, WT's vice president for student services. "We have more and more needs for this kind of space."
The addition would be used to accommodate large conferences, lectures, banquets or other similar events.
Preliminary building plans show the space would include a large multipurpose room with seating for about 300, four smaller meeting rooms, a catering kitchen and a lounge area.
The addition would be completed in 2011.
If approved, the proposed fee increases would take effect in fall 2009. Students could expect to pay an additional $180 in fees per semester next year.
WT implemented the athletic fee last year. Before 2007, about $7.20 per hour of the university's $16 per hour student-services fee was allocated for athletics.
The student center fee has not increased since 1993.
Students will vote on the fee proposals in late October, after the student senate calls for a special election.
The senate on Monday voted against calling a special election next week, as was originally proposed.
"We felt we did not have enough information available yet," said Amy Thompson, WT's student body president. "We wanted to allow more time to inform students about these projects."

Hello all,
I'm a young graphic designer and illustrator and I'm trying to put up a decent showcase / portfolio site. So far, I'm OK with what I got: responsive theme, homepage highlights & slider and two textpages, some nice widgets...have a look:
Only problem now is the approach for images, and this is key since the site will basically be about images.
Before wordpress, i tried the limited Cargo CMS, have a look to this aproach:http://cargocollective.com/woutergeeftvorm (thumbnail grids -> once clicked on a work you get a new page, or a lightbox with a very large slider & a space for text). I want this grid and this new detailpage in wordpress.
It's hard to find out what plugin I need since I don't know exacly how this is called.
And I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to wordpress :)
Who got any advice for a showcase plugin(?)/site in wordpress?

the linebreaks filter strips leading and trailing whitespace from paragraphs

The documentation for linebreaks says:
Replaces line breaks in plain text with appropriate HTML; a single newline becomes an HTML line break (
) and a new line followed by a blank line becomes a paragraph break (
). For example: {{ value|linebreaks }} If value is Joel\nis a slug, the output will be
Joel
is a slug
.
However, {{value|linebreaks}} does more than that: it strips leading whitespace from the first line and trailing whitespace from the last line of every paragraph:
>>> linebreaks(' one \n two \n three \n four \n\n eins \n zwei \n drei \n')
one
 two
 three
 four

eins
 zwei
 drei

I admit this rarely is a problem, but I see no reason why it should be doing that (and not mention it in the docs).
My obscure use case is outputting monospace text where some tables are laid out using the 'NO-BREAK SPACE' (U+00A0) Unicode character, which Python's .strip() happily strips away. If a paragraph starts with a table and the first row is indented, the output is misformatted. Using linebreaksbr or converting U+00A0 to are my possible work-arounds, but it would been nice if the Django documentation had warned me :)

James found the original commit back from prehistoric Django times and found no good reason to do the stripping. no_strip.diff removes the strip() call in both normal and autoescape code paths.

"As we embark on efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, we need to accelerate development momentum across the South, including by building resilience and mitigating risk."
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
Message for the UN Day of South-South Cooperation

South-South cooperation, as an important element of international cooperation for development, offers viable opportunities for developing countries and countries with economies in transition in their individual and collective pursuit of sustained economic growth and sustainable development.
Developing countries have the primary responsibility for promoting and implementing South-South cooperation, not as a substitute for, but rather as a complement to North-South cooperation. The international community should support the efforts of the developing countries to expand South-South cooperation.
To mark the importance of South-South Cooperation, the General Assembly decided to observe this Day on 12 September every year, commemorating the adoption in 1978 of the Buenos Aires Plan of Action for Promoting and Implementing Technical Cooperation among Developing Countries.
The Assembly also urged all relevant United Nations organizations and multilateral institutions to intensify their efforts to effectively mainstream the use of South-South cooperation in the design, formulation and implementation of their regular programmes and to consider increasing allocations of human, technical and financial resources for supporting South-South cooperation initiatives.
Development cooperation beyond 2015 will have to increase and continue to support developing countries, with a special emphasis in poor and vulnerable communities facing sustainable development challenges, while mobilizing additional resources to address global challenges, such as climate change and managing global commons.

Slides from the fifth workshop with the children and staff at Lubuto Library at Ngwerere in Lusaka, Zambia. We ventured into making flaps in Etoys to contain pop-out information and to temporarily hold working tools during production. Then we deconstructed the Lubuto Bemba Letterboard and saw how to make a transparent sound button. Lastly, transparent sound buttons were built over individual words in a sentence and triggered with mouseEnter.

Toys for Tots 2012
Thanks to everyone who participated in Toys for Toys on 12/15/12 at On the Waterfront in New Rochelle, NY. It was a huge success! Many hundreds of toys, gift cards and checks were collected which will be distributed to local kids in need. We even had fantastic carolers from Albert Leonard Middle School. Special thanks to White Plains Women's Club for sending a load of gifts to us and to Amy O'Meara from The Cut Above for being a collection site. Everyone had fun as we celebrated the true meaning of Christmas and Hanukkah: it is better to give than receive! And of course, special thanks to my co-hosts Jean & Michael Maisano for helping to make this such a terrific event.

D70 lands $3.2M BEST grant
It will help pay for upgrades at County High
Pueblo County District 70 will receive a $3.2 million state grant to help pay for the unexpected fire protection upgrades at Pueblo County High School.
District 70's grant request was one of several approved Wednesday by the Colorado State Board of Education to receive funding through the Building Excellent Schools Today program.
The BEST grants were established as part of legislation to increase the level of financial support to school districts, charter schools and Board of Cooperative Educational Services for capital construction projects.
The program is designed for school districts that can't afford to meet their needs.
State fire code required the district to increase the water flow at County due to a new addition being constructed at the school as part of the district's $59.5 million bond program, prompting District 70 to apply for the BEST grant.
The district was required to make upgrades to the fire and sewer systems.
The district agreed to install underground holding tanks and to replace the fire alarm system.
In addition to the BEST grant money, the district will pay $10.8 million toward the upgrade project with bond funds.

DiDio & Lee Says DC Will Take the Time to Do "Watchmen"/Rebirth Story 'Right'
Comic Books
Graphic novels | The 70th volume of Naruto topped the June BookScan graphic novel charts, followed by Alison Bechdel's Fun Home and the 23rd volume of The Walking Dead. The rise up the chart by Bechdel's celebrated 2006 memoir can probably be chalked up to its musical adaptation, which opened in January on Broadway and earned five Tony Awards. [ICv2]
Conventions | Lisa Halverstat rounds up some facts about Comic-Con International, including the number of attendees at the first Comic-Con (100), the number of scheduled events (2,040) and the amount of money con-goers are expected to spend in San Diego ($80.4 million, or $619 per person). [Voice of San Diego]
Concluding this week, DC Comics' Convergence put the big in "big event": There were 89 individual comic books – a nine-issue weekly miniseries and 40 two-part miniseries – created by more than 75 writers and pencilers, plus a comparable legion of inkers, colorists and letterers.
Because of the sheer size, it's difficult to review the event in its entirety, so I'm not going to bother picking it part here. The main series wasn't particularly good, while the 40 tie-in series varied from terrible to excellent, with most of them falling somewhere in between.
In case you've watched this leviathan of a superhero event passing by without reading much – or any – of it, I thought it would be worthwhile to point out some of those excellent books, the ones that you should read if you decide to pick up any of Convergence, regardless of your interest in, or affection for, particular characters.
"There's a loosening up, and this is kind of current, at both companies in terms of what each company considers a comic, which is a ridiculous thing to say, because a comic is basically what sells. That's a good comic. Dick Giordano hated, hated, hated Lobo — hated the character, hated the book — hated him. But he understood that Lobo was a popular character, not his cup of tea, so he wasn't constantly after me to change and conform to his way.
That was, for a while, the way comics were being run. If the editor didn't like the direction a book was going, it didn't matter how well it sold — they'd get in there and start pinching and tweaking and fucking it up. But lately — and I know this for a fact, I've talked to people who actually make these decisions — it's loosening up. It's really loosening up. They're actually saying, 'You know what? You're always saying, "If I was left alone, I would do this and this and this. I'd make this book popular." Fine. The shackles are off. Go.'
I love that. I absolutely love that. I think if you're willing to go after it, I think comics are loosening up a little bit; the way they approach the market, the kind of stories they're doing, the kind of characters they're willing to put in their books. This is just, I'd say, within the last year that I'm feeling this. A couple of years before that — as soon as last year — they were pretty horrible."
– Justice League 3000 writer Keith Giffen, identifying a relatively recent loosening of the creative reins by DC Comics, and by Marvel
This month marks the third anniversary of of the New 52, and, as was the case with each September since the 2011 relaunch of DC Comics' superhero titles, that means the entire line is being unified under an umbrella theme … or gimmick, depending on how charitable you are.
In 2012, it was "Zero Month," with each book telling a story set in the hero's first year of rebooted continuity. Last year, it was "Villains Month," featuring fancy 3D covers, decimal-point issue numbers and stories starring DC's antagonists. This year, its a little from column A, and a little from column B: There are more of those fancy covers, but all of the stories are set five years into the future.
As I did last week, I've grabbed a handful of new Futures End one-shots, more or less at random, for review. This week DC released 10 Futures End one-shots, of which I have five sitting in a little stack next to me as I type. Last time, I tried ordering the reviews from worst to best, but I had trouble doing so this week, as there wasn't really a stand-out like Grayson. Rather, these five seemed to cluster around a baseline of mediocrity, with a few being slightly better, others slightly worse.
As with many Jack Kirby creations, we could spend a long time on the Forever People. I'm not a Kirby scholar, although naturally I've tried to learn more about what the King wanted his characters to be. In that respect, the end of the original Forever People series was somewhat ironic: Kirby closed out Forever People Vol. 1 #11 (October-November 1972) with the group stranded on the distant planet Adon, far away both from Earth and from the ongoing conflict between New Genesis and Apokolips. Indeed, "stranded on Adon" was still their status when the big Who's Who encyclopedia came out in 1985-86.
Not surprisingly, since then DC has revived the Peeps (if I may call them that) a handful of times. The latest is this week's Infinity Man and the Forever People, which switches things up a little by giving top billing to the mysterious being who can trade places with his young allies. When DC announced that Dan DiDio and Keith Giffen were writing and drawing, I was skeptical, but willing to give it a chance.
In fact, it's not a bad first issue. It introduces most of the cast (except for one headliner), it lays out a good bit of the New 52's New Genesis setup, and while it occasionally seems a bit "edgy for its own sake," generally it keeps to the spirit of the original. One character even says "without [Kirby], none of this would be possible." That's pretty on the nose, but appreciated.
Regardless, the new Forever People has a lot to live up to.

Of the three weekly series DC Comics is releasing this year, Futures End is arguably the most "important." It spans the entire superhero line, bridges the gap between Forever Evil and 2015's Big Event, and promises to change the New 52 irrevocably.
None of that apparently is deemed sufficient to attract new readers, because Futures End's preview issue kicks off with 20 pages of your favorite characters either turned into, or slaughtered by, giant killer spider-bots.
To be fair, maybe the folks behind FE wanted to attract those readers already interested in a certain other let's-prevent-the-robot-holocaust storyline from their crosstown rivals. But it's not just X-Men: Days of Future Past, The Terminator or even Star Trek: First Contact (where you can hear the Borg Queen gloat "Watch your future's end") that Futures End echoes. Just off the top of my head, evil and/or assimilated versions of our heroes appeared in Final Crisis (remember Wonder Woman's Female Furies?), in the Swamp Thing/Animal Man crossover "Rotworld" — which, by the way, I seem to be alone in liking — and in Flashpoint's dog-eat-dog timeline. A future ruled by OMACs was also part of the Justice League: Generation Lost miniseries. Back in the day, "changing the bad future" was the plot of 1991's summer crossover Armageddon 2001 and the unrelated JLA arc "Rock of Ages," and 1992's Eclipso: The Darkness Within featured "heroes turned bad."
Conventions | The standalone Stumptown Comics Fest may be history, but an event has popped up to help fill the void: Linework NW, organized by Zack Soto and Francois Vigneault, a free, one-day show that will take place April 12 in Portland, Oregon. Michael DeForge has been announced as a special guest for the event, which will include such exhibitors as Fantagraphics, Koyama Press, Oni Press and Top Shelf Productions. [The Comics Reporter]
Creators | Scott Snyder is the subject of a glowing profile in The New York Times, which states the writer has "reinvented Batman in the past two years, deepening and humanizing the Dark Knight's myth — in the making since 1939 — like no one since Frank Miller in the 1980s." [The New York Times]
For those who have followed DC's promotion of Justice League 3000, this week's inaugural issue must arrive with something of an asterisk. Announced in June as the latest reunion of Justice League International's Keith Giffen (plot and breakdowns), J.M. DeMatteis (script) and Kevin Maguire (pencils), within two months the series became an unflattering example of creative-team chaos. In August, artist Howard Porter replaced Maguire, thereby postponing the series' October debut. According to Maguire, DC apparently wanted something more dark and gritty, which doesn't quite fit the style we now know as "bwah-ha-ha" — but by the same token, one wonders (as did Maguire) what DC thought it would get from the trio's collaboration.
Still, to echo Donald Rumsfeld (and, 15 years earlier and more to the point, my entertainment-journalism professor), you review the comic you have, not the comic you wish you had. The first issue of Justice League 3000 reads like an artifact from the mid-1990s, when DC cranked out dystopian-future Elseworld stories fairly regularly; and Porter's art is emblematic of the issue's gritty, scratchy tone. This isn't JLI. It's not of a piece with Giffen and DeMatteis' work writing Booster Gold, or even the current Larfleeze. It's more like the short-lived, Giffen-written Threshold, crossed with an original-variety Marvel 2099 title.
In short, this first issue isn't bad, just rather frustrating. I suppose the series has potential, and its creative team probably deserves a couple of issues to advance the plot. Regardless, JL3K #1 starts off negative and teases even more. It doesn't give readers much optimism, outside of a vague sense that at some point, things can only get better.
SPOILERS FOLLOW, of course.
Have you ever heard the expression, "If a thing is worth doing, it's worth doing well?" Have you heard about DC Comics' He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, whose first six-issue miniseries was just collected? Have any of the people involved with the creation of those comics heard of that expression? Because from the results, it sure doesn't seem to be the case.
The comics are poorly made — among the worst I've seen produced by an industry-leading publisher — but they're bad in a very particular way.
They aren't unreadable; I made it all the way through He-Man and The Masters of the Universe Vol. 1 without giving up. If pressed, I'm sure I could come up with some worse, more poorly made comics from DC in the recent past, but I might have difficulty thinking of worse comics from creators of such a relatively high caliber as some of those involved with this project, or an example of a series so bewilderingly bad.
Seemingly rushed through production like a term paper written the night before it's due, many of the comics' problems appear to originate with there being just too many creators working too fast and with little communication to meet a particular deadline. But,the funny thing is that it's just a He-Man comic that no one in the comics-reading audience seemed particularly excited about, let alone interested in.
So it's hard to imagine a reason DC decided to steam ahead with its creation to meet an arbitrarily chosen deadline before, say, nailing down a single creative team. Put another way, this is a bad comic book, and I can tell you what makes it a bad comic book, but I can't hazard a guess as to why the people responsible for it made the decisions they did that resulted in it being so bad.
Oh, DC, you came so close to a slam dunk. If you had told me Keith Giffen, J. Marc DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire would be working on Legion of Super-Heroes, I'd have been beyond excited. After all, Justice League International was nothing if not a superb ensemble comedy, and what richer source of super-ensemble action does DC have than the Legion?
Instead, though, we're getting Justice League 3000, set in the Legion's 31st century and apparently following the events of August's final Legion issue, but not explicitly tied to the 55-year-old super-team. This raises two questions. First, whither the Legion itself? DC has previously put the Legion on hiatus, although never for too long, so one wonders how long it'll lie dormant this time. Second, why does it have to be such a familiar Justice League? The initial roster includes Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash and Green Lantern, with redesigns (courtesy of Howard Porter) that retain some fairly familiar elements. Is the League being "Avengers-ized," so that every major super-team must have some "JL" in its name?
And those two questions combine for a third: How sustainable is JL3K, really?
The Masters of the Universe first crossed over with the DC Universe — well, Superman, at least — in July 1982's DC Comics Presents #47, which found the Man of Steel teleported to Eternia, where he teams with He-Man to battle Skeletor, and again that same year in a special preview story. Three decades later, it's happening again with DC Universe vs. Masters of the Universe, which kicks off in August.
However, one superhero appears to be getting a head start.
To entice fans to subscribe to its new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series, DC Comics has partnered with Mattel to create a limited-edition variant cover created using Masters of the Universe action figures. A 12-issue subscription can be purchased here.
Written by Keith Giffen and penciled by Pop Mhan, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe #1 features the return of She-Ra to Eternia as He-Man's newest enemy. It goes on sale April 17.
It looks like June is shaping up to be pretty big for DC's superhero comics. There are five new ongoing series, including Superman Unchained, Batman/Superman, Larfleeze, Pandora and, best of all, the return of Astro City. Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo kick off a revised Bat-origin in "Zero Year," and the Green Lantern books get new creative teams. (There are spoilers for those GL books in the solicitations, but if you've been paying attention it's probably nothing you haven't already figured out.)
The "Shazam!" conclusion takes up all 40 pages of Justice League #21. It's been a long time coming — starting way back in Issue 7, getting a 23-page spotlight in Issue 0, and skipping issues 12, 13 and 17. In the end it should clock in just shy of 200 pages, which would have made it a robust nine-issue miniseries. By comparison, Geoff Johns' and Gary Frank's Batman: Earth One graphic novel was 138 pages. It may read better as a collection, because it hasn't always seemed paced for a series of backup stories. Being absent from Issue 17 hasn't helped either. Still, it should have three straight installments between now and June, so maybe it'll finish strongly.

As unlikely as it may seem, the Guardians of the Galaxy are poised to be the next Marvel team to get a tent-pole movie, following The Avengers (me, I was hoping for a Champions movie, as all but Hercules have been previously introduced in movies*).
The publisher has turned to Avengers-rehabilitation expert Brian Michael Bendis to write a new Guardians of the Galaxy series, and after teasing them in the first arc of Avengers Assemble, the comic featuring the cast from the Avengers movie, the writer is all set to launch a new Guardians monthly, penciled by Civil War artist Steve McNiven.
The title kicked off Wednesday with its first issue, Guardians of the Galaxy #0.1 (market research apparently revealed that comics buyers are more attracted to decimal points than either the number 1 or even 0), and it isn't a bad read at all.
It's the origin of Peter "Star-Lord" Quill, and while the story is essentially one character telling another his history, Bendis, McNiven & Co. depict it as a regular comic, rather than a long, dull conversation, as Bendis is often in the habit of doing. The last two pages reveal the cast.
And who, exactly, is this cast, and where did they come from? Based on the sales of the previous volume of Guardians of the Galaxy vs. sales of your average Bendis or McNiven comic, I imagine a lot of folks will be reading the new series without knowing much of that. And, as always, I think it's worth keeping in mind who created these characters and how long ago (none of them are any newer than 1976, if you're wondering).
So let's take a look at your new Guardians of the Galaxy, shall we?
Hello and welcome to What Are You Reading?, our weekly look at exactly what the title says. This week we welcome special guest Josh Wigler, editor of MTV Splash Page and former CBR contributor.
