An urban agriculture programme in Rosario
To alleviate the plight of 60 per cent of families living below the poverty line in Rosario, the programme has helped more than 10,000 families establish 790 community gardens. They are now helping feed some 40,000 people. The programme has also contributed to security of land tenure and the improvement of conditions for women.
Tomorrow's Seed Project and Human Development Aura Belem
The local government in partnership with UNICEF and local stakeholders has taken the responsibility of eliminating child labor and expanding employment options and income generation for adults. This has completely eradicated child labor, reduced child malnutrition by 32 per cent, as well as brought a 15 per cent reduction in skin diseases among children, and an 80 per cent reduction in stunted growth.
First Nation Community Planning Project
In a new initiative to fight discrimination and poverty among indigenous people, this project in partnership with the government, private institutions and universities has developed a new model to assist local indigenous communities. Seventeen people are currently using the Indigenous Community Planning Model to create and implement community-based plans. Eighteen planning trainees are employed are now leading their own planning initiatives.
Cleaning up the Tangshan coal district
The Brownfield Remediation of the Tangshan Southern Coal Mining Area, China, is rejuvenating a region devastated by over 30 years of pollution and land degradation. A comprehensive programme in the area has helped clean up vast tracts of land on which more than one million trees have been planted, and stagnant pools transformed into pleasant lakes safe for swimming and water life.
A Green Path to Sustainable Development of Marginal Drylands
For years, nomads of Iran's Gareh Bygone Plains, have been subject to desertification, drought and floods. The Green Path programme has helped alleviate the situation by controlling floodwaters and planting new forests. After 5 years, it has proven so successful that it has led to a government policy adopting aquifer management as a programme and allocating an annual budget.
Easing the pain of constant drought
Kenya's Kitui District with a population of just over half a million, is located in a drought-prone semi-arid area repeatedly. The sand dam programme of Sahelian Solutions Foundation Kenya has built 376 dams serving over 200,000 inhabitants. The project has improved food security, and been a boon to local economic activities such as bee-keeping, brick making, fruit orchards and vegetable crops.
Computerising a new generation
The IT4YOUTH programme is brining computer-based information technology to young people in the West Bank, using both school and community-based interventions to improve learning skills and employment. With 300 computers installed in 14 schools, it has made over 4,000 young Palestinians IT-proficient.
Sustainable development of the River Ter basin
The River Ter basin in northeast of Catalonia used to be the economic motor of the region. But it is beset by environmental degradation, loss of water and biodiversity, and lacks a common policy framework. The objective of the Alba-Ter Consortium was to pioneer good governance as well as inter-administrative co-operation among government departments for a holistic management approach. Today, the majority of communities living in the area have linked up with the consortium
Helping young people get into business
In Togo, AVEBETO, a non-governmental agency, is tackling unemployment by showing young people how to set up their own businesses. Students are encouraged to brainstorm on various business ideas and to start a business before the end of their training. In 1988 and 1998, nearly 10,000 university and college graduates were trained and about 70 per cent manage their own business today. The idea has been replicated in other African countries.
Reducing poverty among women
In Uzbekistan not only is unemployment among women higher than men, but their salaries are lower. To redress this, the Business Woman's Association, an non-governmental organisation (NGO) launched the Integrated Program on Poverty Reduction among women through vocational training and micro-financing programs in rural areas. The programme has helped break down gender barriers, had a positive impact on the economy and helped women fend better for themselves and their families.

The Dothan Police Department says it responded to the attempted kidnapping of a 14-year-old girl at her family's home in the early morning hours of Friday.
Officers were called to a home on Denton Road where the homeowner said the family was awakened by the screams of the girl after unknown man came into the home and tried to kidnap the child.
The scream caused the suspect to release the girl and flee the home. Though the girl's father chased the suspect, he was unable to catch him.
The suspect was said to be approximately 5'9" to 5'10" in height and approximately 180 pounds. The victim said the man was wearing all black clothing and had on a back pack.
Police are asking anyone with information about the case or identity of the suspect to call the Dothan Police Department at 334-615-3000.

Sweet and Tangy Green Smoothie

My first green smoothie recipe to make! Very yummy and energizing. My favorite fruit smoothie was always Strawberry Banana with a bit of orange, so I added the spinach and it was a winner! This smoothie keeps well overnight in the fridge for a great 'to go' breakfast.

The MK4-1222v is powerful and versatile enough to handle a wide variety of on-the-run assignments like fashion, corporate work, portraiture, weddings and interiors. The MP400 pack has 4 head outlets and breaks down its output symmetrically or asymmetrically over a 6 stop range with short flash durations at a super fast 1.0 seconds recycling time at full power. A variator knob allows fine tuned exposure adjustments over 2 stops in 2/10 stop increments. Triggering options include sync cord (provided), IR or optical slave as well as a built in 32-channel PocketWizard radio slave.
The included MH2065v flash heads have a 300W modeling light (optional 650W sold separately), user replaceable 2000W/s capacity flash tube and an ideal color temperature of 5400K. Fan-cooling means that you'll get extended life out of both the flash tube and modeling lamp.

The kit's light stands and umbrellas both employ a unique design that lets them fold in upon themselves to fit in the soft-sided travel case.
Although you may be tired at the end of a long shooting day, it won't be because of your equipment. The MP400 pack weighs a mere 4.2 lb, the MH2065v head less than 2 lb and the entire kit approximately 22 lb.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Meshea Poore has seen clients walk through her door, bruised and battered, with claims of police brutality.
Sometimes the stories are accurate, sometimes not, the Kanawha County public defender said.
Regardless, she said she often has nowhere to send them other than to the police.
Poore said her clients don't have the money to sue.
"They usually have to go to the law enforcement department of the officer [they're complaining about] and express their request to a co-worker of that officer," she said.
It puts both the police officer and the complainant in a bad situation.
When the actions of police officers in West Virginia are under scrutiny, it is fellow police officers who are most often charged with investigating them.
But in at least 120 municipalities across the nation that's not enough. Since the 1970s, cities have been setting up civilian review boards to address situations where police are otherwise left investigating fellow officers.
'To increase confidence in police'
Most large cities in the United States, nearly all with populations greater than 500,000, have civilian review boards, said Philip Eure, president of the National Association for Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement.
"So much of this movement is to increase the confidence in police. If I'm doing my job as an oversight agency, then that should be consistent with the objectives of the police," said Eure, who is also director of the District of Columbia Office of Complaints - Washington's police civilian review board.
Of the 20 largest cities in the United States, only three do not have some type of civilian review of police. And in one of those cities - Jacksonville, Fla. - community leaders are pushing to have one put in place, according to the Florida Times-Union newspaper.
Small cities throughout the country have also been implementing review boards, Eure said.
"The next generation of growth that we hear about all the time is in cities of similar size to Charleston," he said.
In most communities, when police do something wrong, nothing happens, said Dr. Samuel Walker, the author of the 2005 book "The New World of Police Accountability" and an emeritus professor of criminal justice at the University of Nebraska.
"There is no mechanism, except for really egregious violations of civil rights. So, for routine, low-level use of force, discourtesy, racial incidents, where do you go?" he asked.
"Accountability is an essential part of democratic forms of government. When some agency does something wrong, people should have a place to go to express their grievance and get it resolved."
Two men dead
Two disparate incidents recently in the local news - Roger Wolfe's police brutality settlement and the shooting of Brian Good and Charleston Patrolman Jerry Jones - highlight what happens when police are in charge of investigating their own.

Education-the Heart of Women's Cardiac Care
Qualify for a free subscription to HealthLeaders magazine.
Healthcare leaders are making a push to improve women's heart health through educational campaigns and women's center programs to gain patient referrals while focusing on a top killer of women—cardiovascular disease. Hospitals are emphasizing the need for women to seek medical care and are focusing on the differences between men and women in cardiac issues.
By offering seminars, online programs, and even cooking classes, hospitals are attracting more women, many of whom eventually seek medical care. Clinically, hospitals are beginning to focus on women's cardiac needs to improve their cardiology service lines.
"Most hospitals have a woman's service line already, but those service lines have a lot of areas to cover," according to Mary Anne Graf, vice president of women and children's services at Bon Secours Virginia Health System, which operates four hospitals.
"From a programmatic point of view, if you look at screening for cardiac events, you can screen women, educate them, and acquire brand loyalty. Women make 80% of healthcare decisions."
Hospitals are in a position to develop niche programs in women's health by "leveraging strengths outside reproductive health," Graf says. Hospitals can make a big difference in patient outcomes, especially with an increasingly older population that is dealing with obesity and other issues.
While hospitals are trying to improve outcomes for women and draw in more patients, they also are reaching out to primary care physicians, many of whom still do not recognize the potential warning sign differences or symptoms of heart disease in women versus men. The lack of awareness often results in less aggressive treatment by healthcare providers. A 2006 survey conducted by the American Heart Association found that 43% of women are unaware that heart disease is the leading cause of death among women. Among primary care physicians, only 8% knew that more women than men die each year from cardiovascular disease, according to the AHA.
"We're inclined to put resources in a well-run operation within the hospital to make sure the education is out there to get people—women in particular—into the system to be able to understand they may be at risk for cardiac disease," says Dawn Rudolph, president and CEO of Saint Thomas Hospital, whose 541-licensed-bed hospital system is based in Nashville. "It's about access; it's about leveraging the resources we have. Our physicians are just one component of
that initiative."

New MacBook chassis pics--the real deal?
We all know that Apple is gathering the chattering classes together Tuesday in Cupertino, Calif., to unveil the latest MacBooks. But unlike many previous Apple product debuts, the Interwebs have been awash recently with reasonably believable-looking leaked spy shots of the laptops, or their component parts.
The latest comes from Chinese site MacX.cn, which purports to show the new aluminum chassis of the 13-inch MacBook. Interesting to note that the side view (pics are after the break) seems to omit the FireWire port currently found on the standard MacBook. … Read more

Harry Potter Movies Need to Stay True to the Book!
We all love Harry Potter. We read the books, and when a movie comes out, stampede into the movie theatres at 10 PM to wait for a 12:01 AM movie. We finally see the movie, and get very angry because the director changed the plot that was COMPLETELY PERFECT the way J.K. Rowling made it! We all get angry and then post how they can make the movies better, and we have found a common thread. If you can make movies like Titanic and Lord of the Rings super long, why not Harry Potter The last two books are the most important ones, and if they are done wrong, many Harry fans will be very frustrated! So we propose, why not keep it true to the book Even if it's 4 or 5 hours long, TRUE Harry fans will watch every second!

Steve Jobs, the eponymous biography of Apple's late co-founder penned by Walter Isaacson, has been moved up and will now arrive on shelves real and virtual on Oct. 24. What's more:
According to a person familiar with the matter, Isaacson last interviewed Jobs four weeks ago, right before, and right after he stepped down from his post as the CEO of Apple. Jobs indicated at that time that he knew he was going to die soon. The scene will appear at the end of the book.
Needless to say, pre-orders are topping the charts.
Sources: WSJ, AllThingsD
It's not an autobiography since it was not written by Steve himself.
Yeah, I'll be getting the Kindle copy too. That's basically the only way I read books now. The future without Steve Jobs in it. That doesn't even sound right. He will be missed.
wow, i was actually curious about this biography since he was still alive, which rarely happens, sadly he's dead, i think the hole he has left in my life is going to be filled with all the details from his life by buying this book. ive never cared for a celebrity but hes just too much.
Definitely ordering the book. Planning on getting the hard copy for the coffee table (636 pages is pretty beefy). Not sure on the electronic copy though, depends on how the hard copy turns out (supposed to be family pictures in it).
I liked a quote from the author:
'I asked the one question that was still puzzling me: Why had he been so eager, during close to 50 interviews and conversations over the course of two years, to open up so much for a book when he was usually so private? "I wanted my kids to know me," he said. "I wasn't always there for them, and I wanted them to know why and to understand what I did."'

[JURIST] US Defense Department Deputy Assistant Secretary for Detainee Affairs Charles "Cully" Stimson [JURIST news archive] resigned Friday in the aftermath of a backlash to remarks [JURIST report] he made in a radio interview [recorded audio] last month criticizing lawyers at top US law firms for representing Guantanamo detainees pro bono. A Defense Department spokesman said Stimson was not asked to leave, but decided to resign after determining that his comments had permanently damaged his ability to be effective. Despite Stimson's later apology for his comments [JURIST report], criticism of them persisted, with the Bar Association of San Francisco [association website] asking the State Bar of California [official website] last week to investigate Stimson for ethics violations [press release].Stimsons remarks included a prediction that "when corporate CEOs see that those firms are representing the very terrorists who hit their bottom line in 2001 those CEOs are going to make those law firms choose between representing terrorists or representing reputable firms." Companies including Boston Scientific, General Electric, and Verizon [corporate websites] nonetheless issued statements [Boston Globe report] supporting the decisions of the law firms they worked with to defend Guantanamo detainees, many of whom have been imprisoned for over six years. Stimson also insinuated that some attorneys were not being truthful about representing the detainees pro bono, and were instead possibly receiving money from terror supporters. AP has more.
[JURIST] A federal judge ruled [PDF text] Friday that the US Army Corps of Engineers [official website] can be sued by victims of Hurricane Katrina [JURIST news archive] flood damage who allege the Corps ignored warnings that the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet (MRGO) [Wikipedia backgrounder] contained defects that exacerbated the flooding. In his opinion denying the Corps' motion to dismiss, Judge Stanwood R. Duval Jr. [official profile] of the US Eastern District of Louisiana [official website; Katrina canal breach materials] said he would allow the suit to continue because it wasn't clear that the government had immunity, which it would have if the MRGO were a flood control project, but it may not if it were a "navigable waterway."Three months before Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, an expert at the LSU Hurricane Center [official website] predicted that the MRGO could amplify storm surges by 20-40 percent. After Katrina, the center determined through computer modeling that the presence of the MRGO also increased the speed of the surge, causing an even greater detrimental effect [Washington Post report]. AP has more.
[JURIST] UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour [official profile; JURIST profile] on Friday criticized [press release] the amnesty resolution [JURIST report] adopted by the lower house of the Afghan parliament Thursday. The resolution, part of a national reconciliation effort, extends official pardons to warlords and alleged war criminals. It stands in stark contrast to the Action Plan on Peace, Reconciliation and Justice [text] announced by Afghan president Hamid Karzai [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] in December, which provides no amnesty for such criminals and calls for an end to the country's "culture of impunity."Arbour expressed concern over the measure, saying that national reconciliation must uphold legal and international human rights standards in order to be effective:
The engagement of Parliament in the national reconciliation process is crucial. At the same time, however,those responsible for serious human rights violations must be brought to justice. This is vital both for this and future generations. Experience has shown time and again that effective and durable national reconciliation must be based on respect for international human rights standards and the rule of law, and must not come at their expense
[JURIST] US Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) [official website], chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee said Thursday that he intends to ask [recorded video] the Government Accountability Office [official website] to look into why Canadian citizen Maher Arar [advocacy website; JURIST news archive] remains on the US terror watch list. Leahy and Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) [official website], former committee chairman and current ranking Republican, met with US Justice Department officials this week hoping to determine why Arar was taken by the US to Syria, where he claims to have been tortured, instead of to his home country of Canada, but Leahy and Specter said Thursday that the meeting failed to convince them that Arar's deportation was justified. The Bush administration has continuously defended [JURIST report] its decision to deport Arar, and refuses to remove Arar from its terror watch list. Arar, a 34 year old Syrian-born Canadian who moved to Canada with his parents when he was 17, was detained in 2002 by US authorities while on a stopover at JFK airport when returning to Canada from Tunisia. He was subsequently transferred to Syria, where he was imprisoned and tortured. Last week the Canadian government officially apologized for its role in the US deportation, and announced a settlement [JURIST report] with Arar of $10.5 million (CAD) compensation for pain and suffering plus legal fees. The final report [text, PDF] of the Arar Commission [official website], the Canadian judicial inquiry into the incident, found that the US decision to deport Arar was "very likely" based on inaccurate, unfair and overstated information [JURIST report] about him passed on by the RCMP [official website], Canada's federal police force. The Commissioner of the RCMP later resigned over the incident. The Toronto Star has more. Canada's Globe and Mail has additional coverage.
[JURIST] The Michigan Court of Appeals [official website] has ruled [opinion text, PDF] that an amendment to the state constitution [PDF text] defining marriage as between a man and a woman also prohibits Michigan public employers from offering benefits, such as health insurance, to same-sex partners of homosexual employees. The appeals court overturned a lower court decision [PDF text] finding no conflict between the 2004 amendment [PDF text; DFP coverage] and providing the benefits. In its ruling Thursday, the court wrote:
It is undisputed that under the marriage amendment, heterosexual couples that have not married also may not obtain employment benefits as a couple on the basis of an agreement "recognized as a marriage or similar union for any purpose. . . ." [T]he amendment is grounded in the longstanding and legitimate governmental interest in favoring the institution of marriage. . . . [T]he amendment is narrowly tailored to further the legitimate governmental interest in protecting and strengthening the institution of marriage, and not to arbitrarily or invidiously exclude individuals from the protections of the laws of this state. . . .Because the marriage amendment does not make arbitrary or invidious distinctions in furthering the legitimate governmental interests of the state, [the marriage amendment] does not violate the equal protection guarantee of the Michigan constitution. . . .The marriage amendment's plain language prohibits public employers from recognizing same-sex unions for any purpose.
[JURIST] The United Nations Friday released a plan for Kosovo [JURIST news archive] to govern itself as a multi-ethnic society that it says safeguards the rights of all groups within its territory. An executive summary of the plan was issued to Serbian and Albanian leaders by Special Envoy for the Future Status Process Marrti Ahtisaari [official profile] and will be negotiated before its finalization and submission to the UN Security Council. The plan includes the creation of a constitution which will protect the rights of all ethnic groups, emphasizing their cultures, languages and religions. Kosovo's two million inhabitants consist of roughly 1.5 million ethnic Albanians, 100,000 Serbs, and smaller populations of Bosnians, Turks and other ethnic groups. These groups will all be represented in the judiciary, police and political institutions, which will be monitored by an EU Mission in Kosovo [official website].Other features of the plan include recognition of the rights of displaced persons to return and reclaim their property with the cooperation of the International Committee of the Red Cross [advocacy website]. During the transition, a multi-ethnic security force will work with NATO troops to ensure order. Finally, decentralization will be a goal, with the Serbian population gaining control over health care, education and other services for its population. The UN News Service has more. AP has additional coverage.
[JURIST] Australian Minister of Justice Chris Ellison [official website] Friday offered the Australian government's strongest criticism yet of the US government's 5-year detention without charge of Australian citizen David Hicks [JURIST news archive] at Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive], calling it "totally inappropriate" and urging that a trial be held quickly. Ellison has not, however, endorsed a letter signed by 96 members of Australian Parliament and sent to US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi [official website] on Thursday. The letter [press release], which urges the US Congress to support Hicks' return to Australia for trial, bears the signature of only one Australian government official [AAP report]; Ellison has stressed that the government is united in its desire to force charges and a trial for Hicks.Hicks has yet to be re-charged after the lapse of his original 2004 charges [text, PDF] in the wake of the US Supreme Court's finding in June of last year that US military commissions originally established by President Bush to try Guantanamo detainees were unconstitutional and required Congressional authorization. Hicks was originally detained in Afghanistan while allegedly fighting for the Taliban. ABC News has more. CBS News has additional coverage.
[JURIST] Judicial reform in China should be managed by the Chinese Communist Party [official website] rather than by reformers and non-governmental organizations, according to an article [Xinhua report] published Thursday by China's top law enforcement official. Luo Gan [official website; BBC profile], a member of the ruling Politburo Standing Committee, wrote the article in the party's Qiushi (Seeking Truth) Journal, referring to those who seek to reform the judiciary as "hostile forces." "All law enforcement activities should be led by the party," continued Luo. "All reform measures should be conducive to the socialist system and the strengthening of the party leadership." Last month, the party announced plans to intensify its anti-corruption campaign, following complaints by China's chief justice [JURIST reports] of court corruption and systemic failures to implement court orders. Luo also addressed criticisms of judicial corruption, writing that the judiciary should "safeguard social justice and fairness" and advocating "harsh punishments" for those convicted of crimes committed in the sale of land and the reform of state enterprises. The article encouraged labor sentences, however, a policy that human rights groups have condemned for targeting political opponents and minor offenders. While Luo urged the government to heed the international community's reaction to its policies, it also stated that NGOs should be "closely monitored." Reuters has more.
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit [official website] heard oral arguments Thursday regarding the government's power to designate "enemy combatants" and subject them to military detention without charge. The case centers on Ali al-Marri [Brennan Center case materials], an Illinois student who has been detained since December 2001. A year and a half after al-Marri's arrest, in May 2003, he was charged with credit card fraud and lying to the FBI [complaint]. Shortly before his trial, however, President Bush declared him an enemy combatant [CNN report] and had him removed to the Naval Consolidated Brig in Charleston, South Carolina. Al-Marri has alleged cruel and inhumane treatment [JURIST report] in the Charleston facility.The oral arguments in Richmond were characterized by piercing questions from the judges over when someone can be arrested in the US, declared an enemy combatant and subjected to military detention. Judge Dianna Gribbon Motz suggested that criminal prosecution would be more appropriate in al-Marri's case. A decision from the court is expected soon. The New York Times has more.
[JURIST] The War Crimes Chamber of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina [official website; HRW backgrounder] has indicted [PDF text; press release] former Bosnian Muslim military commander Sefik Alic for acting contrary to Article 3(1)(a) of the Third Geneva Conventions [text; ICRC backgrounder] by subjecting prisoners to inhuman treatment and depriving them of their life. Alic allegedly took custody of four Serb prisoners from the Army of Srpska Krajina in August of 1995, and participated in the physical and psychological abuse of the prisoners. Alic is also accused of having failed to ensure the safety of the prisoners, which resulted in their killings by soldiers under Alic's command. The indictment, released Thursday, also states that Alic failed to report the killings to his superiors and did not take adequate action to investigate the killings and punish the perpetrators. The Bosnian War Crimes Chamber, tasked to investigate and prosecute atrocities during the 1992-1995 ethnic war between Serbs, Bosnian Muslims, and Croats, was established in March 2005 [JURIST report] to ease the backlog of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia [official website; JURIST news archive], which is currently trying to complete all its work by 2010. AFP has more.
[JURIST] Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen [official profile] issued an executive order [PDF text; press release] Thursday, directing the Tennessee Commissioner of Corrections to conduct a "comprehensive review of the manner in which death sentences are administered... and provide [the governor] new protocols and related written procedures in administering death sentences in Tennessee" no later than May 2, 2007. Executive Order No. 43 also grants reprieves to four inmates on death row until May 2, 2007, and revoked existing procedures and related protocols used to administer the death penalty [JURIST news archive]. Tennessee currently administers the death penalty by lethal injection and electrocution.Last week, a North Carolina state judge issued an injunction [JURIST report] blocking two executions until Governor Mike Easley issues new procedures to execute capital defendants without the presence of doctors. Capital punishment has also been suspended in Florida and California [JURIST reports]. In early-January, the New Jersey Death Penalty Commission recommended abolishing the death penalty [JURIST report] and replacing it with a life sentence without the possibility of parole. An increased number of states have begun to review the administration of the death penalty following the botched execution of Angel Diaz [Amnesty profile] in December 2006. The New York Times has more. AP has additional coverage.
[JURIST] The Bulgarian National Assembly [official website, in English] on Friday adopted [press release] amendments to its constitution [text, in English] in an effort to increase the efficiency and transparency of the country's judiciary. The amendments, required for entry to the European Union [official website], were passed on their third reading, 192-28, with six members abstaining. Under the new changes, judges, prosecutors, and state investigators will no longer be entitled to full immunity, and instead limited immunity will be restricted to officials acting in their official capacities. A new monitoring body, to be elected by members of parliament, was also established. Constitutional changes in Bulgaria require a majority consisting of at least "three quarters of the votes of all Members of the National Assembly in three ballots on three different days." Bulgaria [JURIST news archive] joined the EU [JURIST report] on January 1, 2007, following six years of accession negotiations. In February of last year, the National Assembly approved [JURIST report] the amendments at first reading following warnings from the EU over corruption in Bulgaria and potential delays in joining the bloc [JURIST report]. AFP has more.
[JURIST] Montana filed a lawsuit Thursday against Wyoming [JURIST news archives] in the US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] for allegedly violating a 1950 agreement allocating water rights [Wikipedia backgrounder] to two tributaries of the Yellowstone River. In a motion, complaint and brief [PDF text], Montana Attorney General Mike McGrath asserted that Wyoming had breached the Yellowstone River Compact [DOC text and summary] by failing to keep consumption of water from the Tongue and Powder rivers within the compact's limits - specifically, by allowing water storage facilities to be built and irrigation to be expanded. Montana claims that, as a result of Wyoming's actions, its ranchers, farmers and other water users are suffering "substantial and irreparable injury." McGrath asked the court to order Wyoming to abide by the compact and to award Montana damages, interest and costs. North Dakota [JURIST news archive], the third signatory to the compact, is also named as a defendant, but Montana is not seeking relief from that state.Montana filed the lawsuit after the Yellowstone River Compact Commission [official website] last month rejected a resolution that would have adopted Montana's interpretation of the compact. "In the West, a deal is still a deal," Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer [official website] said Thursday in a press release [text]. "Wyoming signed a compact that said Montana would get its fair share of water and Wyoming has not been holding up its end of the deal." In a statement [text] responding to the lawsuit, Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal [official website] said his state has "strictly honored" the compact. The statement continued:
Prior to 2004, Wyoming and Montana agreed on how the compact operated. Since 2004, Montana has been agitating for a fight. I guess they finally threw the first punch. I am confidant [sic] that Wyoming will prevail on this claim, but I am disappointed that Wyoming will be forced to expend millions of dollars to defend a claim that has no merit.

Best Uses
we like these because the color is nice, they stack, and they have proven to hold up well in a very heavy traffic coffee house/restaurant. we've tried a lot of other chairs, often much more expensive and they always break. these do not break! on top of that, they're actually really comfortable! our only con is that they're a little wide. so using them for a party where I need to squeeze a lot of people in a small space is not possible. also, they're not pretty. they are a modern simple looking chair, so they might not fit you decor.
Best Uses
these chairs are very sturdy. good for commercial use where there is a lot of use. we love them!
Best Uses
we use this chair at our day and residential programs for adults with developmental disabilities. it holds up great.
Best Uses
we use these chairs in our adult residential and day programs for individuals with developmental disabilities and they can handle the heavy use.
Best Uses
I use this chair in residential and day program settings for adults with developmental disabilities. It holds up to rough and frequent use. I am replacing all our dining chairs with this chair as we phase out the old chairs.
Best Uses
we are replacing all the chairs in our coffeehouse with these chairs. they are very comfortable, and look great. chairs 1000 is very easy to work with [...]
Best Uses
We have purchased similar chairs approx. 8-10 years ago. These new ones are more sturdy and will probably last a lot longer. Excellent new design! Would buy again. Great for classroom use.
Best Uses
We use these chairs in a training facility for adults with disabilities. I have actually placed three orders for these chairs and plan to order more soon. They are very attractive and we have had no problems with the three dozen or so chairs that we have ordered.
Best Uses
These chairs look great and are very sturdy. We live in a new condo with modern decor, lots of light wood and brushed nickel and these chairs fit right it -- except for the assembly hardware, which is my only complaint. The bolts that hold the chair together have exposed heads; it really adds to the modern look of the chair, but they are brass, which clashes with the light brushed nickel found everywhere else in our place. It seems a shame that such a modern looking chair has such stodgy brass hardware.We asked before purchasing if there were any other hardware colors available, but alas, no. We looked at [...] and online to find brushed nickel hardware, also to no avail.Next weekend's chore is to test spray painting them with a satin nickel paint to cover the brass. Here's hoping!The chairs are very light (they can easily be picked up one-handed) yet rock-solid in the feel of their construction. While we don't stack them, it's nice to know that's an option.

text: It's probably very clear that the card Nvidia will introduce tomorrow, the GeForce 9800 GX2, with its two G92 chips, will get pretty hot. The board design of the 9800 GX2 has the two 65nm chips facing each other and although they will be separated by the fan-equipped heatsink, it is safe to say that it will see them reach some high temperatures, depending on the installation setup, of course. In addition to designing a pretty intricate cooling system, Nvidia has also put in a 'safety threshold' for the two G92 chips on the 9800 GX2. As detailed by the Green Goblin, the GPUs are able to work 'normally', at their stock clock of 600 MHz until reaching 105 degrees Celsius while, it the temperature is exceeded, the frequency will be lowered. While it's rather unlikely that the chips will surpass 105 degrees in a decently-ventilated case, the overclocked versions of the 9800 GX2, like the one 'apparently' prepared by MSI, might run into this temp problem more easily. We'll just have two 9800 GTS cards please. |

Two things you should know: I wasn't going to tell this story, and if I could give you all a plate of my hot chocolate chip cookies, I really would.
A few weeks ago, I shared my exciting news that I'd gotten a literary agent, and you were generous with your happiness for me. I wanted to thank each person who left me a congratulatory comment, but the comments section yells at me with warning messages when I try to leave a duplicate reply, and I don't know 70-something ways to say, "Thank you so much. Your support means everything to me."
But you know I can find a way to subvert the system.
So when several people asked me to tell the story of how it happened, I decided I ought to set aside my fears of sounding braggy and just tell it. And I figured I'd lavish you with gifts while I was at it because nothing says "thank you" like fresh chocolate chip cookies, but free books come close. (More on that below.)
This is the story:

I have been using the Matrix duo for a number of months now and absolutely love them. I use both products twice a day. I layer them underneath the day and night cream provided in the Daily Defense kit. My skin looks smooth and the lines are less visible. I wouldn't be without these products...and with auto delivery, I don't have to worry!

I have been using this duo for about 2 weeks now, WOW, my skin is looking awesome. I have tried so many skincare lines, looking for the one that actually gives you the results they claim. I thought I had found it with another skincare line sold on TSC, until I started using these products.These products have given me the best and fastest results of any skincare I have tried. I am so glad I tried this new product line, this will be the only one I will be using, it doesn't get better!

The Dow Industrial Average added 0.8%, the S&P 500 gained 0.7% and the Nasdaq rose 0.5% on Friday.
Analysts said investors were reacting to a letter sent by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to the chairman of the House oversight committee, Rep. Darrell Issa, that said the central bank has more room to support the economy.
"There is scope for further action by the Federal Reserve to ease financial conditions and strengthen the recovery," Bernanke wrote.
"On a slow Friday that's enough to give markets a boost," said Paul Zemsky, chief investment officer at ING Investment Management.
Few expect Bernanke to reveal specific new intervention measures at the central bank's annual symposium next week in Jackson Hole, Wyo,. but minutes from the Fed's last meeting released earlier this week suggested the central bank was leaning more toward launching a third round of quantitative easing, or QE3.
Zemsky also said that investors are hopeful some resolve will come out of Europe as talks among eurozone leaders took place.
Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras wrapped up a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday in Berlin.
She reiterated her support for Greece to stay in the eurozone, but said that the debt-strapped country needs to meet its reform targets, and that she will wait for the report by the European Union, International Monetary Fund and ECB, known as the troika, which is due next month. Samaras will meet with French President Francois Hollande Saturday.
"Europe is the bigger lever here for the next few weeks, because there's not much different for Bernanke can say," Zemsky said.
In the United States, trading volume has been light for weeks, which is typical in August. Most expect that trend to continue through Labor Day. U.S. stocks ended the week slightly lower, with the Dow ticking down 0.9%, the S&P losing 0.5% and the Nasdaq shedding 0.2%.
World Markets: European stocks pared earlier losses Friday. Britain's FTSE 100 ended the day flat, while the DAX in Germany rose 0.3%, and France's CAC 40 gained 0.2%.
Asian markets ended in the red. The Shanghai Composite lost 1%, the Hang Seng in Hong Kong dropped 1.3%, and Japan's Nikkei fell 1.2%.
Economy: Durable goods orders rose 4.2% in July, more than the 2.5% increases analysts were expecting. But excluding transportation goods, orders unexpectedly fell 0.4% last month, according to the Census Bureau.
Companies: In a ruling that will not affect the U.S. patent infringement trial now in the hands of a California jury but addresses many of the same issues, a South Korean court has delivered a split decision that slightly favors Samsung over Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500).
Related: Apple vs. Samsung: Three possible outcomes
Shares of software designer Autodesk (ADSK) slid 16% after the company reported disappointing earnings late Thursday.
Shares of Eli Lilly (LLY, Fortune 500) jumped after the drugmaker said that although its experimental Alzheimer's drug didn't meet its main goals, it did show significant improvement in some patients.
Currencies and commodities: The dollar rose against the euro, the British pound and the Japanese yen.
Oil for October delivery fell 11 cents to $96.15 a barrel.
Gold futures for December delivery dropped $1.80 to $1,671. an ounce.

Phones with FM Radio Receivers
My local Rec Center has TV's with low powered FM transmitters to allow people to listen to which channel they chose while working out. My question is does a list exist of phones with FM receivers in them?
Thanks in advance! - 11-06-2012, 04:46 PM #2
Re: Phones with FM Radio Receivers
would an fm radio built into a phone work?
Re: Phones with FM Radio Receivers
I don't expect many manufacturers to continue to make smartphones with FM radios as so much is available online. You rec center would be better served by providing wifi to the guests.
Nook Color - CM10.1 ( Jelly Bean 4.2.2) on eMMC
Google Galaxy Nexus - stock Jelly Bean 4.3

Galaxy Nexus 7 (2nd Generation) - stock KitKat 4.4.2
Nexus 5 - stock KitKat 4.4.2 - 11-07-2012, 11:12 AM #5
Re: Phones with FM Radio Receivers
FM Radio is still more accessible then then unlimited data plan and radio recivers won't disapper as this kind of distribution is ultimate solution for multicast trasmission without any bandwidth issues. What will most likely kill FM radio is digital radio like DAB or eventually radio over DVB-T (or ATSC in US?, but m not sure if it formally supporting radio), thru it seems to develop slowly (most likely because msot countries are busy with Digital TV migration), but i assume it will replace FM reciver once it will catch up.

The Ubisoft pre-show conference uttered not a single word on earthquake-survival game, I Am Alive. So it's kind of weird that this never-before-seen trailer has just emerged. Why would Ubisoft not show it at its own dedicated press gathering? I repeat. It's weird.
But never mind. The trailer looks good. I like the idea of playing a game that puts me in the middle of a disaster. Even this minute long glimpse makes me feel tense and terrified in a kind of Dante's Peak, Towering Inferno, Poseidon Adventure kind of way. Witness the disasterfication:
You see. This trailer really is a complete disaster.

But they have had so many other sources of income related to Elvis that they could have been more selective in what they sold and what they did, maybe not at first but as time passed they surely could have afforded to do it. The thing is greed have not allowed them to care about it, either this or they were as tacky as many of the things they have been making money off.

Familiar Chart Pattern
I had a post on RealMoney yesterday in which I said that the panic is over but that the event is not. The market then got whacked. I tend to think that the panic is in fact over and what is happening now is the discounting of how serious this will or will not be.
I mentioned over the weekend that no more selling made no sense to me. That such a big threat could resolve itself in a couple of weeks just seemed wrong, still does.
Based on a couple of the comments yesterday the panic may NOT be over. This is subjective of course but I think the panic of early August was the discovery of the problem. Now that it has been discovered it needs to resolve over time.
Generally speaking I have thought the worst case scenario from this would be a normal bear market and while I have been less vocal about a normal recession this wouldn't be shocking either.
Regarding the Bespoke table from yesterday a reader asked "How do you time your over weighting or under weighting of a sector? Why do you think it is reasonable to time sectors, but not time the market?"
It depends how you use the word time. As a means of short term trading I don't think it is ideal for managing other people's money (this is my perception only and I am not saying what other people should do) and I am not that good at it. In terms of following the economic and stock market cycle, recognizing when sector weights seem to be out of balance--these are very long term things. I have had roughly the same underweight in financials for several years. When the yield curve normalizes I will be closer to equal weight. Is that timing? In a way yes and in a way no.
My focus in the regard involves infrequent need for big change, trying to add value if possible and smooth out the ride a little. This is right for me, it is ok if it is not right for you.
Another reader asks "Why am I in this market when a risk free internet bank pays 5.5%????"
When do you need to use the money? In that time frame what do you expect will be the better hold; a diversified portfolio or a money market. Whatever you answer is what you should own. If you want stocks you need to realize that at this point the market is well within down a little.
Yet another question asks "do you get more bearish as we cross below the 200 dma for a second time?"
I don't think of it that way, but maybe I should. Right now the portfolio is behaving as I hoped. Generally accounts are going down a little less than the market so as we grind around in this same area I don't see a need to add more double short (this can change at any time). The real thing here, and I think most clients get it, is trying to use the tools to try to protect against down a lot. It is helping out for now but time will tell what I do next; I will share whatever that is.

Panic ???
How about people are too complacent IMO. Yes I know some people leave a panic message as you quoted, but look at Citigroup panic/euphoria model at
If you have been following for years you would know it has been staying between 0 and -0.9
Euphoria has really been around 0
All the talk of panic and this sentiment indicator suggests a LOT of complacency to me. - 9:24 AM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
I can get on board with your idea but something has never seemed quite right with that specific indicator. I have no science to back that up and I may be wrong.
- Anonymous said...
Not science, but I have found the Citigroup panic/euphoria model to be at a high (near zero) at market tops and to be significantly lower at market lows from my following this and other sentiment indicators since it has been published in Barron's.
I have no personal experience with this indicator prior to being published in Barron's, but I did read some where that it was above 0.6 during the Nasdaq bubble.
I would also say that many readers of your blog seem to be stay the course during this market turmoil.
I do not see a panic. I see complacency or buy the dip mentality from many people. Although I do expect that to change before this is all over. - 10:39 AM

Is there a CEF that focuses on companies of developed countries who market heavily to the undeveloped countries?
re the panic/eurphoira indicator, tobias l. weaves some cool data but ultimately his data comes off like greenspan speak. This is an assessment conveyed to me by someone who was close to him. No matter, I do believe his intentions are good. - 3:22 PM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
i am not aware of a CEF that does what you ask. I would try some sort of reverse search with either of the big earth moving equipment makers or soap/toothpaste companies to see what funds own them and go from there.
as i say that i don't really know what site would accomodate such a search but... - 3:42 PM

Off topic, but current...
Much is being made of Bank of America's Kenneth Lewis as preventing a bigger crisis by investing heavily in Countrywide to "stem the tide". I thought I had seen recently that Warren Buffet was involved with B of A, had taken a look at Countrywide, and had met with Lewis just before the bailout was announced. Did WB play a role indirectly inn making it happen?
Tom - 7:46 PM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
i thought i heard something along those lines but i am sorry i do not know any specifics.
- Leisa said...
I'm sure that BAC is one of the creditors on CFC's $11B drawdown just prior to the bailout. That's not to say that KL and WB didn't have a conversation. KL is probably positioning to protect his bacon.
Regarding the level of panic. I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop--and perhaps the level of panic helped get the market warmed up for that shoe to drop.
Q3 earnings ought to be watched carefully--particularly changes in equity, as I believe there is a FAS that allows folks to take gains/losses on investment vehicles as a change in equity rather than a charge to earnings (makes me bristle!).
I personally worry, largely because I do not understand it so well, is the quality of the CDS's used to protect against credit risk. ARe these credit default swaps held by liquid players. I have to believe that some of them, particularly hedge funds, are not so liquid. - 4:23 AM
