Darwin lecture seriesIn the second term of every academic year since 1986 Darwin College has organised a series of eight public lectures. Each series has been built around a single theme, approached in a multi-disciplinary way, and with each lecture prepared for a general audience by a leading authority on his or her subject. The Darwin College Lectures are very popular, each attended by around 600 people, so you must arrive early to ensure a place. Stewards at the door follow a strict Admissions Policy to ensure fairness. An adjacent overflow theatre (with live TV coverage) is provided for those who cannot be seated in the main hall.

NEWBURYPORT -- It was 1977, and on the bulldozed and scattered remains of the city's historic waterfront, archaeologists were just a lucky turn of the spade away from the Holy Grail of Newburyport archaeological sites.
In a city filled with spectacular architecture, the long-buried and elusive ruin the diggers sought to uncover would probably be unimpressive to the casual observer. Only sorry remnants like rusty bits of metal, broken bottles and pottery and a pile of stones were likely to have survived the centuries.
But for archaeologists like Alaric Faulkner, the site was a potential goldmine.
For years archaeologists and amateur historians have been piecing together clues to the location of "Watt's Cellar," owned by an English trader the Indians dubbed "Great Walt" or "Great Watt."
No one knows exactly where the cellar was, what it looked like, or even what it was used for. There has been plenty of speculation on all of those questions.
The only thing that anyone can say for sure about it is this: It is the very first documentable structure built by a European colonist in what is now Newburyport. In fact, it's believed to be the first colonist-built structure in the entire Merrimack River valley.
And its importance is still felt today. If it weren't for Watt's Cellar, downtown Newburyport might not be located where it is.
The hunt for Great Watt's Cellar lasted several weeks during the summer of 1977, extending around the Firehouse Center for the Arts and selected spots closer to the riverbank.
It didn't yield the city's Holy Grail, but it did reveal some unexpected glimpses into Newburyport's past, Faulkner said.
The hunt
The dig was one of the fruits of a lawsuit brought by Friends of the Newburyport Waterfront. That lengthy legal battle over the waterfront's development will be explored more fully in future installments of the Port in Progress series.
Watt's Cellar was certainly a plum that archaeologists hoped to pick, but it wasn't the only objective of the dig. Faulkner said extensive remains of Indian settlements were thought to exist, as well as the remnants of 17th, 18th and 19th century waterfront buildings.
Archaeologists knew that Indians had some type of village where downtown Newburyport is now. Clams, mussels and other shellfish were important to their diet, and heaps of shells are often found near their coastal settlements. A sizeable shell heap had been found under The Daily News building on Liberty Street.
Faulkner, a soon-to-be-retired professor of anthropology at the University of Maine, vividly remembers the details of the dig.
In 1977 the land around and behind the Firehouse, he recalled, was an unattractive mess. Most of Newburyport's waterfront buildings between the Custom House and the Black Cow restaurant had been recently torn down during the early stages of urban renewal. What remained were small heaps of rubble, dusty open ground and cellarholes filled with debris -- including broken TV sets. There was no visible trace of Watt's cellar.
"The chances of finding it were slim," Faulkner said.
Archaeologists faced another problem: Urban renewal was well underway around Market Square, so places where they fervently hoped to dig had already been paved over with bricks or built on.
"When we came in they had just rebuilt the building where Bossy Gillis' garage had stood," Faulkner said. "It would have been nice to do it the other way around."
But the diggable area between the Firehouse and Custom House was part of the hub of Newburyport's early seaport, and Faulkner said more than 20,000 artifacts were recovered, as well as the remains of several buildings and wharves.
The waterfront had a handful of fine homes, but generally it was a tough neighborhood. Along the downtown riverbanks stood gritty shipyards, docks, warehouses, stores and tenements. Rats and other vermin were common, noted Jay Williamson, director of the Historical Society of Old Newbury.
Faulkner said artifacts confirmed many of the waterfront's stereotypes but also gave a glimpse into some of its more refined aspects.
For instance, 19th century ink wells, slate pencils and small ceramics marked "good boy" and "good girl" were found. Based in part on 19th century census reports, historians had long considered the waterfront populated by illiterate immigrants. But the evidence suggested there was a culture of literacy and learning, Faulkner said.
"It tells us more about the people who were taking the census than the immigrants who were living there," he said.
Among the richest archaeological discoveries were the privies | the outhouses into which colonists often dumped their trash.
The privies demonstrated Newburyporters had "fantastic access to foreign goods," Faulkner said.
Among the items recovered were ceramics with political slogans, including one that declared, "Success to the King of Prussia and his forces."
That slogan referred to the Seven Years War, known in America as the French and Indian War. By default, Prussia was the colonists' ally because it was fighting against France during the conflict of the 1750s and '60s. A decade or so later, during the American Revolution, their roles would be reversed | Prussians were fighting as mercenaries against the Americans, and the French were providing arms, supplies and troops to George Washington's army.
No Indian village was found, Faulkner said. Archaeologists unearthed five arrowheads.
No Watt
The archaeologists may have found some remnants of Great Watt's Cellar, but Faulkner said they can't be certain.
Pieces of English pottery dating to the early 1600s were discovered in centuries-old backfill, but Faulkner thinks it's likely that the cellar itself may no longer exist -- it was probably destroyed two centuries ago, when the Middle Shipyard was active on that site.
All that remains is a historic marker next to the Firehouse Center for the Arts noting that Watt's Cellar was "near this spot."
That cellar's significance is still palpable today.
Watt had picked a good spot for his trading post, near a rocky point that provided handy access to the river.
Almost 30 years after Watt disappeared, another trader -- Paul White -- built a dock and a handful of buildings using that same rock outcropping. Over the years, more buildings sprung up near White's compound. One hundred years later, the site had grown into the core of downtown Newburyport.
The cellar itself must have been visible in those early days, because it is referred to in several early deeds. Those deeds help pinpoint its location near Market Square.
Among those early deeds are references to a main road the colonists called "Way to Watt's Cellar." The name of that road changed a handful of times since then.
The road is still there, but Watt would never recognize it. It's State Street.

Look of downtown signs a calculated process
The NRA had the power to make virtually all downtown signs conform to the new look of Newburyport. At the NRA's insistence, the sign at Bob's Subs eventually came crashing down in 1976.

Vision for 'Parcel 8' crystallized after several failed attempts to develop lot.
Parcel 8: Urban renewal's only new building in downtown Newburyport
Merrimack Landing at 1 Merrimac St., opposite the Firehouse Center for the Arts, was completed in 1984, but not before three other development projects were tried and failed on what was known for many years as urban renewal Parcel 8.

Plane through: Cessna lands on Houston golf course
HOUSTON (AP) — An area near the 11th hole at a Houston golf course provided a smooth landing spot after a small plane ran out of fuel and glided on to the grass.
The Cessna 170 was expected to be moved from Hermann Park on Tuesday. The unplanned landing of the single-engine plane happened Monday night on a flight from Lafayette, La. - Maine ice shack transformed into 'Shangri-La'

Posted: 7:38 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30, 2008
By Jamie Dupree
When I saw an "Urgent" story on the Associated Press wire Thursday saying that Barack Obama had approached an Illinois Congressman to possibly be his White House Chief Of Staff, I had a little chuckle.
And I then I realized that it was probably a good thing that someone was thinking ahead to what's next.
I would expect John McCain has someone doing some of the same planning for a Presidential transition and a new administration, but it wouldn't shock me if Obama is doing more of that.
"This is really the first time in as long as we can remember that we are having a transition in a time of war," says political analyst Norm Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute.
"There's a lot of danger out there. Danger in the world and danger in the financial realm," Ornstein added.
Ornstein has made it a cause to press both parties to work together more on a transition, so there is no repeat of the infamous "W" practical joke played by the Clinton White House on the incoming Bush Administration, when the "W" keys were removed on some computers.
"There really is a strong committment on the part of President Bush and the Bush Administration to make this the best transition ever," said Ornstein.
President Bush recently signed an executive order to smooth the transition, by establishing a transition coordination council. President Clinton did that about three weeks after Al Gore lost to George W. Bush.
All of that makes sense, but having news get out just a few days before the elections that you are already making plans for the transition was fodder for the GOP.
"Rep. Rahm Emanuel is working with Barack Obama to create the most unbalanced and partisan government in a generation," huffed RNC Spokesman Alex Conant.
"Reports that Obama wants him to be White House chief of staff undercut any claims to unity and bipartisanship," said Conant.
I'm sure if the roles were switched around, the Democrats would be complaining and the GOP would be planning.

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 77,000
overall rating 8 of 10rating detailsPros: "plenty of power, good gas mileage, reliability"
Cons: "turning radius, unsupportive seats, OE tires r bad"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"I bought this vehicle new almost 8 years ago. I have not had any mechanical issues with this car. However at about 65000 miles a metallic noise started from underneath the vehicle mostly noticeable when trying to hold a speed between 40-50 mph. I've been told it's either the heat shield or the guts of the catalytic converter coming loose (which I was told is fairly common on these). I was told it's nothing to worry about but it is annoying never the less. Also, this vehicle is tricky when it comes to getting the right tire. The Goodyears that came with the car were total garbage. They only lasted 29000 miles (and that's with regular rotation) and they turned into rocks and made the ride rough and unpleasant. They also caused a shake in the steering wheel. I then tried Toyo Versados which were better but there was still a shake in the steering wheel. I had both sets of these tires balanced numerous times with no success in getting rid of the shaking steering wheel. Finally when the Toyos wore out at 65000 miles I purchased Michelin Primacy tires. This was the best purchase I could have made. Since I put these on, the car has no shake in the steering wheel and rides much nicer. If you own this car or are going to buy one I would definitely reccommend getting Michelin Primacy tires. They're not the cheapest option but you'll be glad you did once you feel the difference. This car has more than enough power. The handling is decent, but I would like it a little stiffer with less sway since it's classified as a 4 door sports car. Also, the turning radius on this car is ridiculous. Don't even try doing a uturn unless it's a very wide road. I don't know why they didn't make the radius tighter. The seats could definitely use more support on the sides. Sometimes around turns you can feel like your sliding around. The BOSE stereo system is well worth the money. Great sound. The HID headlights are also worth the money. Despite being a bigger, more powerful V6, the car gets decent gas mileage. On long straight highway trips I usually get 27 or 28 mpg. In town maybe 20 or 21 mpg. The bad part is premium fuel is recommended for best performance. I've used premium since the car was new so I couldn't tell you if using regular would have negative affects. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with this car so far. Up to this point reliability has not been an issue at all. The car still has plenty of pep and other than routine maintenance I haven't put any money into it. While it's not perfect, I don't know any car that is. I would definitely recommend this car to family and friends."

On the iPhone there is a red button to delete a task if you edit it.On the iPad this button is missing (you need to close the "edit" pop up first and press the garbage can next).Why?
Posted at 12:32pm on May 9, 2011
Thanks for your feedback on this! We appreciate it.
Posted 2 years ago
Hm, wish I had an iPad (to check):Perhaps you can immediately delete the task by pressing that garbage can and I was just "conditioned" (by using the iPhone App every day) to try to delete it via editing?
As soon as you've selected a task, you are able to use the trashcan icon to delete the task. However, once you've tapped the Edit button, you won't be able to use the trashcan icon until you've first closed the Edit Task box.Hope that helps!

Discover the Riviera with a tour to Cannes, Grasse, and St. Paul de Vence. Your Riviera tour begins with a Nice hotel with pickup by your driver guide.
Your Riviera tour stops first in Cannes. In Cannes, you'll want to walk the famous Croisette Boulevard. The Boulevard Croisette is near the Cannes Film Festival Palace, designer shops, and beautiful sandy beaches.
Cannes was once a quiet fishing village, but is now a very glamorous and well-known seaside town. The Cannes film festival in May is when Cannes is watched around the world because the rich and richer of the entertainment world full of actors and actresses pour into the area and the celebrities and directors await word regarding the film awards.
Your tour continues to to Grasse, world capital of the perfume industry since the end of the 18th century. In Grasse, you will nourish your senses with a guided tour of a perfumery or free time to visit the old town. Grasse has a very unique microclimate which attracts the the flower farming industry. Because of its location, it is warm enough and far enough away from the Mediterranean to be protected from the sea air.
In Gourdon, a perched village, you will have majestic vistas of the French Alps and Mediterranean coastline. Located on a spur jutting out about the Loup River, the views take your breath away! It is labelled one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France.
After lunch, you'll wind down the dramatic Loup Gorges to taste Riviera's speciality flower sweets at Florian Confectionary.
Next stop is Tourrettes-sur-Loup for a spectacular view. Tourrettes is a medieval village that is also perched on a narrow spur. It extends from the rocky hills to a gorge below. Once a fortified village, the arched passages remain.
Saving the best for last, you will arrive in St Paul de Vence. St. Paul has ancient cobblestone lanes, fortified walls, and is one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France. When thinking about Saint Paul de Vence, think contemporary art, first-class restaurants, unique shopping, and history and culture. You will discover it all in this popular town.
Your Riviera countryside tour ends after visiting Saint Paul de Vence and your driver will take you back to your Nice hotel.

He Said... The Silent Treatment
by Eric
posted Oct 19 2009 9:54AM
One of the reasons that I like the company of women so much is their amazingly contradictory nature. For instance: A woman will spend thirty minutes, minimum, to do her hair and makeup just to lie on the beach, she'll go to a salon to get her hair cut because she's "letting it grow", but my true favorite is when a woman, who is by nature is more talkative than a man, will use the
silent treatment
to during an argument… wow!
There are many reasons to use the
silent treatment
: to force an apology, to stop an escalating argument, but if I had to guess what the true motive behind it's use is, I'd say that the
silent treatment
is a tool used as a last ditch effort to dominate a situation, in the face of eminent failure.
Growing up as an only child I will admit to having been spoiled, but I wasn't a brat. I do however know a lot of brats, I also have dated my fair share of them, and one thing that they all have in common is the frequent and consistent use of the
silent treatment
The evolution of human interaction from cave drawings to our now superior linguistics is staggering, and choosing not to use it on purpose is immature, insecure and should result in the user being treated as just such a person. Any smart woman, anywhere, need not use adolescent tactics in place of proper communication to provoke a successful end result.
I will admit to having been the recipient of several doses of the
silent treatment
in the past and I can tell you that I no longer tolerate it. So, if you choose (incorrectly) that you don't want to talk to me… I will gladly accommodate you, richly.

text: Flower PowerLove in Bloom is a beautifully designed wallpaper that speaks of the period during which it was made. The differing shades of taupe printed in transparent colors on the reflective Mylar foil ground create a great sense of depth. Produced in 1968, it speaks very strongly of the Flower Power movement, of peace in turbulent times, as well as the use of new materials. wallpaper, Mylar, screenprint, peace, floral, flowers |

Safari Books Online is a digital library providing on-demand subscription access to thousands of learning resources.
Noriko is just getting started as a junior reporter for the Asagake Times . She wants to cover the hard-hitting issues, like world affairs and politics, but does she have the smarts for it? Thankfully, her overbearing and math-minded boss, Mr. Seki, is here to teach her how to analyze her stories with a mathematical eye.
In The Manga Guide to Calculus , you'll follow along with Noriko as she learns that calculus is more than just a class designed to weed out would-be science majors. You'll see that calculus is a useful way to understand the patterns in physics, economics, and the world around us, with help from real-world examples like probability, supply and demand curves, the economics of pollution, and the density of Shochu (a Japanese liquor).
Mr. Seki teaches Noriko how to:
Use differentiation to understand a function's rate of change
Apply the fundamental theorem of calculus, and grasp the relationship between a function's derivative and its integral
Integrate and differentiate trigonometric and other complicated functions
Use multivariate calculus and partial differentiation to deal with tricky functions
Use Taylor Expansions to accurately imitate difficult functions with polynomials
Whether you're struggling through a calculus course for the first time or you just need a painless refresher, you'll find what you're looking for in The Manga Guide to Calculus .
This EduManga book is a translation from a bestselling series in Japan, co-published with Ohmsha, Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan.

Steamboat-grown Matt Ladley is rising quickly and consistently in the ranks of competitive snowboarding, landing double flips and podiums at World Snowboard Champs and Dew Tour stops. (Tom Zikas)
Kelly Clark continued her hot streak at Breckenridge on Saturday, taking the first Dew Tour stop just one point ahead of teammate Gretchen Bleiler.

Matt Ladley, a product of the famed Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, has been a major addition to U.S. Snowboarding. Thanks to a Grand Prix podium, it only took Ladley a year to jump up to the pro team. Now he's landing doubles and becoming a podium regular. In 2012 Ladley had a killer run on lock all season, which earned him second at the TTR World Snowboarding Championships, top-five results at both X Games Aspen and Europe, and third at the Killington Dew Tour stop. Unfortunately, Ladley's 2013 season ended with minor shoulder injury, but not before he earned an invite to X Games Aspen and placed a very competitive seventh at the Burton European Open.

There is something special about Hargrave Yacht's new 84-foot motoryacht that I think is worth sharing. It is not her design, although I find her tasteful, contemporary American styling refreshing-to my eyes Euro-chic has worn thin. It is not her interior arrangement, although its variation on the raised pilothouse motoryacht theme is truly creative and unique. What is special is the backstory of how this motoryacht reached the water and how, even in challenging economic times, the passion of a designer and a builder can create a winner.
If you've wandered the docks for more than a few years the Hargrave name should be familiar. The late yacht designer Jack Hargrave's work played a significant role in shaping modern American yachting. The hundreds of yachts he penned still provide satisfaction for their owners as well as inspiration for a new generation of designers. It is this legacy that inspired Mike Joyce to launch Hargrave Yachts in 1998. While Joyce's vision was to create a successful boatbuilding company, it was his respect for the late designer that drove his business plan.
"Jack looked like a recruiting poster for the Marine Corps," said Joyce, who went to work in Hargrave's brokerage office in 1976. Joyce explains that a snowstorm brought them together. "I was watching a television report on a blizzard that had buried my marina," said Joyce. "Commentator Heywood Hale Broun was explaining that the "stump" he had his foot on was actually the top of a phone pole- that was it...I was headed for Florida." Joyce had several job offers but signed on with Hargrave on the advice of a savvy friend who realized the designer's significance. "My friend told me that for the rest of my career I could proudly say 'I had worked with Hargrave'- he was right!"
Joyce launched his own successful yacht brokerage in 1981. We met while I was serving as a yacht designer with the late Tom Fexas. Joyce seemed an endless source of knowledgeable and challenging clients. He expressed an excitement for new design that he seemed able to transmit to his customers. He would spend hours in our office tweaking designs and as much time at the yard sorting out the details. Unlike most in his line of work, he seemed to enjoy the process more than the commission checks. As predicted, Joyce's pride for having served in the Hargrave office never waned, and he was working on a book about the designer when Hargrave passed away. It was completed with the help of the Hargrave family but Joyce felt there was more to do. "Hargrave was an icon in the marine industry, and I was determined not to let the brand fade away." As I remember, when Joyce told me that he intended to buy Hargrave's company I pointed out that yacht design was often charity work-but I had underestimated Joyce. His blend of passion and business sense paid off and Hargrave Yachts thrived.

Dispatcher Walter Garber (Denzel Washington) uses his extensive knowledge of the transit system in a bid to outwit the hijackers and save the hostages, but one question remains: even if the hijackers get their money, how can they possibly escape?

Article from ESPN Magazine. They talk to NBA Player X to give them insight on the game and stuff behind the scenes. The question was about players who "stink".
"..I've heard Leandro Barbosa and Boris Diaw have a particular aversion to showering. Same with Shavlik Randolph. The smelliest stories in the league involve Adam Morrison when he was in Charlotte. I heard he kept a pile of dirty clothes in his car. He'd put them on right out of practice, then head straight for the team plane."
My gosh, when I heard people say that the Bobcats stunk, I thought they meant the way we played the game. I did not know they meant literally stunk. We have had the smelliest, and got rid of him. And we still have another of the smelliest! Well, the good news is now that when we hear them say that, we know they dont mean the way the Cats play ball! But I want to clarify one point. I dont believe in making fun of people with a health issue. But this is simply about not taking showers after sweating up a storm and wearing dirty clothes. Now that is just nasty.

Good with many errors
Strings are not 1 dimensional. They vibrate in 11 dimensions. Not a good explanation for the plank length, should of told something more significant. You have forgotten quarks are bound together with a string, and you have also forgotten antimatter. DNA is much smaller. Your illustration is wrong. By the way, I highly doubt quantum foam is what you have said there, his space-time fabric is not quantum foam. Quantum foam is related to zero-point energy. Excluding that, this is a great gadget, I faved.

Interesting but overrated
if you wanted to create a bigger impact on the viewer then you should have made it to where you zoom INTO an object instead of just having them all together, organized by size. You should have showed a human, well drawn, and then you would have been able to zoom inside of the chest and zoom into an organ, zoom into a red blood cell, zoom into a cell wall, into a virus, into an atom, into a quark, e.t.c. If you zoomed out, you would zoom out of the house, out of the street, out of the neighborhood, out of the city, out of the earth, out of our solar system, e.t.c.
I think it should have also had better detailed graphics, but it was alright. Good job for the daily 1st.

Applied Radiology
By Donald W. Rucker, MD, MS, MBA
At their core, accountable care organizations (ACOs) are legal entities comprised of primary care physicians (PCPs) or other primary care providers and the pool of their Medicare patients (which number at least 5,000). Other providers and hospitals may participate, but the PCPs must run the show (although they can be employed).
Patients are enrolled automatically, and while they can choose to receive care anywhere, the cost of that care – regardless of the site(s) providing it – is attributed to the pool of PCPs who share in a percentage of any savings in the treatment of those patients. That pool of PCPs also may share in any losses – either immediately or years later. If that happens, the PCPs must pay back their income to CMS.
The practice of bundled payments – paying physicians and hospitals by the procedure – is ground zero of the delivery and payment reform debate in the United States, with ACOs being the most recent example of bundling payment. Economic risk is the glue for bundling – it incentivizes providers to use less of their own services (or those of other providers), such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) scans, office visits, surgeries, and hospitalizations. One might expect patients to be at equal risk of providers doing too much if they're paid via fee for service versus doing too little if physician payments are capitated. However, current discussions regarding bundled payment policy implicitly assume that our health care system has such an "overtreatment" bias that we need not worry about under-treatment for some time. We also assume, secondarily, that consumers have enough current options to prompt them to seek treatment elsewhere if skimping becomes an issue.
How could physicians generate savings via ACOs – and how do patients benefit? And how will the "sharing" of savings or losses among PCPs be calculated? I'll address those questions in next week's blog.

Director General/Executive Director
Message of the Executive Director UNODC for the Thematic Debate on Security in Central America as a Regional and Global Challenge: How to Improve and Implement the Central American Security Strategy
(Message Delivered by Simone Monasabian, head of the New York Office of UNODC)
16 May 2012
Mr. President,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is a pleasure to have the opportunity to speak to you on the issue of Central America as a regional and global challenge.
I welcome the decision to hold this thematic debate on security in Central America before the General Assembly.
May I also express my regrets that I cannot be present today.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Central America faces major challenges from transnational organized crime and drug trafficking.
The threat is fuelling violence, eroding the rule of law, impairing economic development and undermining fundamental human rights.
Based on UNODC's figures, in 2010, nearly one third of the nearly 18,500 homicides in Central America were due to organized crime.
The international community needs to acknowledge the suffering of these countries due to the impact of drugs and crime.
It is the duty of the international community, including the United Nations, to do everything possible to provide assistance to the countries within the region.
However, increased assistance to countries in the region must be based within the framework of the drug and crime conventions.
The Conventions on Transnational Organized Crime and their protocols, as well as the Conventions on drugs and anti-Corruption, are grounded in international standards and human rights.
We must also recognize that, while Central America confronts some of the very worst aspects of these transnational issues, the solutions must be global.
I accept that the geographical location of Central America places the region between the drug origin countries of the South and the drug consumer countries of the North.
But no region exists in isolation. The multifaceted, interconnected nature of drugs and crime means that we are compelled to develop inter-regional approaches.
Like Central America, West and Central Africa is caught between producers in the Americas and consumers in Europe.
To assist, UNODC is concentrating on building connectivity between the Americas and West Africa.
The REFCO network of prosecutors in Central America is strengthening the criminal justice chain through best practices and information exchanges.
Funding is also enabling us to extend the REFCO network to West Africa. We are connecting the AIRCOP and container control programmes on both sides of the Atlantic.
At the international level, the UN Task Force on Transnational Organized Crime and Drug Trafficking, is generating an effective and comprehensive inter-agency approach to drugs and crime.
UNODC is also focusing on a global strategy based on its integrated regional programmes.
Within Central America itself, we have created a Regional hub for Central America and the Caribbean in Panama to link with a re-profiled office in Mexico and other countries in the region.
At the tactical level, UNODC is establishing centres of excellence in Mexico on public security statistics and the Dominican Republic on prison reform and drug demand reduction.
The Panamanian government, with the technical support of UNODC, has also established a Regional Anti-Corruption Academy.
These projects are connected to UNODC's overall strategy to create a balanced approach when dealing with drug supply and demand. Through these initiatives, we are also building a strong sense of ownership among Member States.
To improve our understanding of the situation in Central America and the Caribbean, UNODC will also release a threat assessment for the region soon.
Mr. President,
It is often too easy to see regions as being isolated.
Flowing from the drug Conventions, the concept of shared responsibility provides a solid foundation for joint support and assistance.
Together, the international community must work closely to support the countries of Central America.
In this spirit, UNODC supports the Regional Strategy for Central America, adopted at a meeting of Heads of State of Central America on 22 June 2011.
Through our regional programmes, we will provide technical assistance to help countries to counter the threat of drugs and crime.
But, if successes are to be achieved, every country, in every region, needs to provide more support.
Thank you.

Osprey Modelling Manuals #06: Modelling the SdKfz 251 Half-Trackby Bob Oehler
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The adoption of blitzkrieg tactics in the German Army prior to the start of World War II meant that Germany needed a new kind of fighting vehicle to transport troops around the battlefield in support of the Panzer spearheads. It was in response to this requirement that the armored halftrack was developed during the mid-1930s. The SdKfz 251 halftrack soon became one of the most numerous vehicles in German service during World War II, with over 15,000 produced. This title provides detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to build some of the most popular SdKfz 251 variants in both 1/72 and 1/35 scale. It also includes camouflage paint schemes and markings.
Synopsis:Expert advice on how to get the most from your modelling. Each book is a complete guide to building, detailing, converting and customizing all kinds of models. Illustrated with step-by-step color photography throughout. One of the most abundant vehicles in Germany's World War 2 arsenal, the SdKfz 251 half-track was developed in response to the blitzkrieg requirement for a tank able to transport troops to support the Panzer spearheads on the battlefields. Serving on every front from Russia to France, the SdKfz 251 appeared in a range of theatres and camouflage schemes that makes it an appealing challenge for modellers of all abilities--written by Robert Oehler, consultant editor of the Osprey Modelling series, this is the first volume ever dedicated to modelling the SdKfz 251.
About the AuthorRobert Oehler was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1964. He is currently employed by the University of California-Merced as a Management Services Officer (Business Manager). Robert is the former Marketing Manager at Tamiya America, Inc., and was regularly involved in the research that served as the basis for Tamiya military models.

My rant [ Wed Mar 18 2009 7:17 AM ]
Since everyone keeps bringing up Chucks. I used to wear them all the time when I was younger because the wear cheap. For less than $10 I would have a new pair of shoes that would last me 6 months or so. Last time I looked at Chucks they were $45-$55...wtf??? I guess we have Nike to thank for that!
Well Jessica [ Tue Mar 17 2009 7:10 PM ]
That was an awesome post - I could not agree with you more. It is all the same, but taste preferences define the "style" you are into. I used to swear I was punk when I was younger, but as I get older everything kind of blurred together and I can see fun in it all.
What happened? [ Tue Mar 17 2009 7:21 AM ]
It was a blog explosion while I was away over hipsters...that is awesome. Almost all sub-culture are the same to me, here today and only a handful of people into it the next day. One thing I do know is the Snuggie culture is taking over all cultures! Re: Mr. Sushi |

On the Pro argument I would say the Smart-phone option is good because you will always have the updated maps and points of interest(POI) data. with dedicated GPS units you only have your last updated map and with the expense of thos, you might not keep them as up to date. This is really good around town finding restaurants and other services.
On the Con side I harbor the suspicion that most all-in-one devices don't really do any one this in an optimal manner. Generally, in order to fit all thise features into one package, some sacrifices must be made. I am not all that familiar with too many smart-phones, but do they offer a large library of user collected waypoints? Usually I like a device that is specifically designed for the task at hand. Besides, this way I get more stuff!!

Dan Tangherlini, now confirmed as GSA administrator, had served as acting administrator since April of 2012.
The full Senate has confirmed the nomination of Dan Tangherlini to head the General Services Administration.
In the same series of votes, on June 27, the Senate also confirmed Brian Deese for deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget and Howard Shelanski to be the administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs in OMB. Tangherlini and Deese were confirmed by unanimous consent; Shelanski by a voice vote. Confirmation of all three had been widely anticipated.
Tangherlini has been acting administrator at GSA since April 2012, taking over the agency in the wake of a scandal surrounding lavish conference spending. "Over the past year, Mr. Tangherlini has led an impressive turnaround of GSA, and I am confident that he will continue this good work as administrator," said Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), who chairs the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee that held the confirmation hearings for all three officials.
Deese will head the budget side at OMB, serving under Director Sylvia Burwell. Previously he served as deputy director of the National Economic Council, and is credited for much of the behind-the-scenes work in the bailout of the U.S. automotive industry during the Obama administration's first term.
At OIRA, Shelanski takes charge of a little-known but powerful office, which reviews all federal rules and regulations before they take effect. Before being tapped to head OIRA, Shelanski held several senior government posts, including director of the Bureau of Economics at the Federal Trade Commission and chief economist at the Federal Communications Commission.

Several Realtors from Covington and Conyers were among hundreds who recently participated in the Georgia Association of Realtors Rally for Homeownership on the front steps of the Georgia Capitol.
"We had a larger crowd than we originally expected, and the energy was amazing," said Bill Blair, local board president, in a press release. "It was inspiring to be a part of an event that promotes an issue that is so vital to the economy at every level."
Gov. Nathan Deal addressed the crowd, expressing his appreciation for realtors and their dedication to preserving homeownership in Georgia, despite the challenges of the recent economy.
Local Realtors who participated in the Georgia Association of Realtors Rally for Homeownership included LaTrina Clark, Francine Henderson, Jane Johnson, Ronnie Burrell, Nancy Johnson, Bill Blair, Tami Moody, Dale Pearce, Erica Milligan, Tricia Kuhns and Karen Hedrick.
After the rally was over, Realtors entered the Capitol and met with their local legislators to discuss important issues related to homeownership and private property rights. The East Metro Board of Realtors spoke with State Rep. Pam Dickerson, D-113 and State Rep. Tonya Anderson, D-92.
East Metro Board of Realtors is the advocate for the real estate industry in Newton, Jasper and Rockdale counties, promoting private real property rights and issues that most affect its members.
The Georgia Association of Realtors is a voluntary professional association of approximately26,000 licensed real estate brokers and salespersons engaged in all aspects of the real estate business throughout Georgia.

This exhaustive work contains articles on a broad sweep of topics relevant to the study of biblical prophecy and eschatology. The articles are based on solid scholarship, yet are clear and accessible to the lay reader, illuminating even the most complicated issues. The dictionary also strives for a balanced presentation by laying out differing positions along with their strengths and weaknesses, while not pushing any specific theological or interpretive agenda other than a firm commitment to seeking to understand the Scriptures. This is a valuable tool you will refer to time and again.

However, if your spermatocele is painful or has grown so large that it's causing you discomfort, you may need to have surgery to remove the spermatocele. Surgical removal may damage the epididymis or the vas deferens, a tube that transports sperm from the epididymis. Damage to either can reduce fertility. Another possible complication that can occur after surgery is that the spermatocele may come back.
