Admit it: You've been lusting after the neighbors' spacious new deck ever since they completed it, and scheming how to create such a backyard escape for your own home. Now, you're finally ready to take the plunge.
But with new designs and materials on the market, and—if you're not building it yourself—the challenge of finding a competent contractor at a fair price, you're wise to do your homework. A little research will give you the look you want with minimal upkeep and no structural problems.
Here's a primer on pitfalls to consider, as well as the pros and cons of modern deck materials—some of which may last longer than the house they're bolted to.
Cost and Design
Decks were rated the number-one home improvement project nationally in 2003 and number three in 2005, according to remodeling.hw.net, which reported that decks provided a 104 percent return on investment in 2003 and close to 80 percent in 2005.
"It's an all around good investment, especially for your home resale value," says Mark Harari of Joppa-based Island Decks.
Prices vary widely depending on the square footage involved and the materials, but expect to spend approximately $24 a square foot for a basic 10-by-12-foot pine deck or $28 a square foot for a deck built from composite materials such as Trex. Island Decks, which charges $21 a square foot, would build a 10-by-12 pine deck without benches, pergolas, stairs, or planters for a total of $2,520, says Harari.
Pergolas would up the price by an extra $1,000. "People like to hang planters from them or grow vines over them," he says.
As far as design is concerned, he says that builders have to take into account the grade or elevation of the rear yard, whether the house has a walk-out basement and whether the customer needs the deck for family use or for entertaining purposes.
"If the customer wants the deck for frequent parties, we have to take into account seating space, which might include built-in benches, and an 8- or 10-foot-wide stairwell that drops down to the yard so that people can sit and relax on the stairs during a party," he says.
Wanted: Honesty and Competence
Unless you're really qualified to do the job yourself, the next step is tracking down a skilled and reliable contractor.
Some neighborhood community associations keep a log of service contractors who've done work in the area. They can often tell you which neighbor used a particular contractor and that feedback can be valuable. You can also try logging onto contractor.com, a website that's helpful if you have no recommendations from friends or neighbors. You simply type in your location and a list of several contractors appears on the site. Then click on "read testimonials" to find out what others have to say about a given contractor.
According to Baltimore City Permits Director Didi El-Menshawy, if you hire a contractor who is licensed and certified, you have the right to file a complaint with the state if you have a problem. The law does not require deck builders to be licensed, which is why homeowners can build their own decks without certification. And of course, she reminds us to get a building permit.
Finding a contractor with insurance coverage will prevent you from being liable if someone gets hurt on the job site, says Ed Chmar of Towson-based Allied Remodeling, which has been in business for 10 years. If you are required to pay a deposit, keep in mind that 33 percent is the legal limit in the state. Signing a contract that provides you with labor warranties is standard practice. While a one-year labor warranty is the norm, some companies will provide you with a lifetime warranty. Perhaps most importantly, you must trust the person you hire because there's a lot of money at stake, sticking to a timeline is important to your sanity, and the workers will be on your property for some time, posing potential security issues.
Pine vs. Composites
The next consideration is the materials you're going to use: Of course, you want it to look like real wood, last a very long time, be impervious to sunlight and water, and be affordable.
The most frequently used materials for decks today include pressure-treated southern pine and composite decking materials—made from plastic resin and wood chips. Both are sold in lumber and home improvement outlets.
"About 90 percent of our customers use southern pine," says Zack Wallace, a manager in training at 84 Lumber. "Pressure-treated pine costs 75 cents a linear foot and composite costs $2.25."
That's a big cost difference when you're talking hundreds of linear feet. But the composites, which come in a wide variety of colors and finishes, should be seriously considered because they're virtually maintenance-free. Most homeowners identify composite decking products with the brand name "Trex," says Wallace, but Trex is only one of roughly seven different manufacturers of composite products.
And then there are the Cadillacs of deck woods: teak and ipe. The latter, (pronounced EE-pay), is a super-dense Brazilian hardwood that usually has to be special-ordered, but which is becoming almost a status symbol among owners of high-end homes.
The Anonymity of Ipe
Although ipe has been available in this country for the past 10 years, builders say it has not been widely used due to the relative high cost of the wood ($3.84 per linear foot) and a lack of advertising.
Craig O'Donnell, co-owner of John S. Wilson Lumber Company in Catonsville, says the price of ipe became more reasonable when composites made their entry on the market in the late 1980s and created a more competitive environment for long-lasting materials.
But even with the price reduction, O'Donnell says only 5 to 10 percent of his customers purchase ipe for decking projects.
"If people were aware of its existence, it would be flying off the shelf," says Kent Darrell of ILEX Construction & Woodworking, who has built a few decks with it in the Baltimore area.
Because of its dense cell structure, ipe naturally resists rot, insects, and mold, all without the use of toxic chemicals typically applied to other products. And it has a Class A fire rating, the same rating given to concrete and steel. Ipe is harvested from naturally sustainable forests and lasts more than 25 years.
Jeff Goodwin, president of commercial builder Harbor View Contractors, recently installed an ipe deck at his Ocean Pines beach house because of its resistance to splintering and the fact that the harsher seaside weather has little to no effect on the integrity of the wood. Ipe's gradual change in color is another reason he selected it for his deck. "It changes from its original reddish-brown color into a beautiful silver patina and it is quite spectacular," he says.
Goodwin adds that one of the benefits of ipe is that it does not require a sealer to prevent decay. A perfect example of the wood's lasting integrity is the boardwalk in Atlantic City, which was built from ipe and to this day is in great condition.
Builders who swear by ipe claim the material and labor costs involved in building ipe decks are in line with lesser-quality decks when the entire life cycle of the deck is considered.
Darrell says his firm just finished building an ipe deck off the master bedroom of an ultra-modern glass and concrete house in Monkton. He then built another, larger 20-by-10-foot deck, accessible from the kitchen of the same house.
Darrell says the materials for the second deck, which cost $6,000, would run approximately $1,500 to $2,000 if southern pine were used for the same project. "Although you save in up-front costs with the pine, the cost difference in using ipe balances out in the long run," he says.
Building Tips
Before building a deck, homeowners should also understand how each of the various materials differ in ease of cutting, drilling, nailing, and fastening.
Because of ipe's dense cell structure, for instance, high-quality carbide-tipped blades are recommended for cutting. The wood's extreme hardness (it's 290 percent harder than red oak) requires pre-drilling when fastening the boards to the joists.
Although some homeowners shy away from ipe because it is very labor-intensive, Joe Pomykala of Towson, who built a deck with it, says the end result is worth the extra prep time.
"The wood is so hard that you can't bang nails into it," Pomykala adds. "You have to drill holes first and that takes quite a bit of time." But he adds that a specialized ipe fastener system, which hides exposed screws, gives you a blemish-free surface. "The final result is a much nicer quality deck," he says.

I seriouly can't believe I'm about to say this, but I agree. Les is much better than he gets credit for. He's cooky and wacky and does some crazy things but for the most part he's done a nice job. He's won a hell of alot of football games. And despite what some think LSU won't just keep running as is if they hire the wrong guy. That being said, if he goes, LSU will hire someone that's as good or better. JMO

Lets see if Alleva has the balls to call Miles bluff and say "Ok Les if you really want to go to a dumpster fire .... see ya"
Miles didnt choose his alma mater of LSU and I dont see a program like Arkansas as a place Miles wants to tarnish his legacy of a winning coach.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A West Virginia state trooper ended up in Ruby Memorial Hospital Thursday after the Preston County 911 center lost communication with him and his car was later found to have been in an accident.
Preston County officials refuse to release information about the accident from the 911 communications center, though such information is routinely released as public records in Kanawha County.
Preston Prosecuting Attorney Mel Snyder said he looked at the law, and would not release the information without a subpoena.
"If you don't like it, sue us," he said.
Trooper J.R. Martin, of the Kingwood detachment, was involved in a single-vehicle accident on County Route 26, according to a news release by State Police Sgt. Michael Baylous.
Martin's injuries didn't appear to be in serious nature, Baylous said.
An "internal inquiry" is currently looking at the circumstances surrounding the vehicle crash, Baylous said.
"We don't want to say anything more at this time, until all the facts are clear," he said.
Attempts to get copies or transcripts of Thursday evening's 911 transmissions to and from the State Police and Preston County's 911 center were unsuccessful.
Preston County Office of Emergency Management Director Duane Hamilton said it was the county's policy to tapes only to 911 callers unless another party obtains a subpoena.

So, something is better than nothing.
Thank you very much for your sincere service and optimism.

The Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood married fiancée Sally Humphries in London last Friday, The Sun reports. Last month, the Daily Mail reported the couple showed up at the British Fashion Awards sporting matching silver bands, sparking speculation if the two had secretly married after announcing their engagement in October. Rod Stewart served as Wood's best man, and Paul McCartney was among the estimated 50 or so attendees, though fellow Stones Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were not in attendance.
Inside the Rolling Stones' Reunion
The Rolling Stones wrapped up their run of 50th anniversary shows on December 15th at Newark, New Jersey's Prudential Center, though a slip-up on their mobile app briefly listed a date at Coachella 2013, furthering rumors of more shows next year.

The Chaplain of the Senate opened today's session with a prayer that was focused on the continuing political battle over the debt limit, as Dr. Barry Black told Senators it was time to put aside their differences and reach a deal.
Here is the Chaplain's prayer from Friday morning:
Empower our lawmakers to break through stalemates with constructive action; give them such wisdom that their challenges will be met with cooperation and competence.
Lord, help them to comprehend the global repercussions of some poor decisions and the irreversibility of some tragic consequences.
Energize them with your power and guide them with truth and light.
Quicken their ears to hear, their eyes to see, their hearts to believe and their wills to obey You, before it is too late.

FUN FACTS The Surinam toad is not actually a toad but a rough skinned aquatic frog. This frog relies on camouflage and inactivity to capture prey. A Surinam toad has poor vision and uses small sensory projections on the tips of its feet to feel for prey items. Surinam toads have an interesting breeding behavior. The male and female perform an elaborate courtship dance. Eggs are attached to the female's back. The skin then swells and fully encases the eggs in small pockets. The eggs develop directly into tiny frogs and hatch out of these pockets. CONSERVATION All amphibians are at risk due to factors such as habitat destruction, pollution and diseases such as ranavirus and chytrid fungus.
SIZE: 8 in (20.3 cm) RANGE: Northern South America HABITAT: Slow-moving waterways with muddy bottoms DIET: Aquatic insects, crustaceans, worms and fish

@Mario_sonic_man --> I'm with you, Mario_sonic_man. I don't see why they avoided releasing the game on the Wii when episode 1 was released on it. I mean I don't buy games on my Wii to download but it would just make sense to release episode 2 on the Wii also. Sad really...
why did they cancel the wii release? D: how else am i gonna put sonic episode 1 and 2 togeather now?
I never was a fan of Sonic until Sonic generations.By a strange way I felt like was playing like the oldtimes but with the new features like the 3d scenarios .Very cool game.I hope this new Sonic game will be as cool and I can overlook that strange bear.
Smashing out Sonic Generations right now with my nephew. Quite a change from COD, GT5 and FIFA12. Its WAY easier than the original but its really fun and easy to pick up. This Ken dude needs to get laid.
@MGSKojima how can it be an episodic nightmare if we've only had i episode so far?
im yet to watch i dont know what is wrong with my computer ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! rock on
wow this game looks suck, if i bought it i would buy it on ps3 just cause xbox sucks so bad but im sure this game will suck like most other sonic games o well
I love episode one looking forward to episode 2. will buy it on xbox 360. wish i could have the windows phone version for free when buying on xbox because when i buy it on xbox i will not want to spend money on the same game on windows phone.
I feel uncomfortable with his facial hair. Because Tails... his tails are usually around his butt region... so on his face?... Anyways. I didn't think they were even going to release Episode 2, but I'm glad they changed things up. Anyone else find it hilarious at the end that he left out the Wii?
90% of the time, I find Sonic games very playable and reasonably fun, however rushed and hurriedly cobbled together they tend to be these days. So I'll be picking this up, come what may. I know, I'm a brand victim. Still, I hope as much as everybody else does that they make some serious improvements over Episode I this time. Even by Sonic's standards, I found it very ho hum. The content of the game was too short-lived and shallow (a problem that plagues the Sonic Rush series imho), while the Special Stages were very difficult.
no but seriously. all jokes aside: if he doesnt get rid of that beard he will die a virgin
Reading comments waiting for video to load: Wow, someones beard is apparently god-awful. Video loads and starts: WTF IS ON HIS FACE?!
I don't know what is worse: guy's beard or the continuation of an average Sonic game...
Despite what some people say, I enjoyed Sonic 4: Episode 1. It's always nice to have a 2D Sonic game which was actually fun to play.
If people want to play a great sonic game, play sonic generations! It's deffinetly THE sonic game that I had been waiting for, besides colors, since sonic adventure 2!
Uh Captain Victory, what pray tell what was new about Episode1? I mean aside from uninspired level layouts and sluggish controls? I give credit to the spin on special stages and parts of lost labyrinth however. If Generations is any indication, they are definitely moving in the right direction in terms of both of those.
why doesn't anyone take into consideration that sonic colors and sonic generations were GREAT games?
wow so they are going to make it like a game from the 90's lol they couldnt do it before hahah
I hope it turns out to be Sonic the Hedgehog 2 all over again, you know as in, being better than the previos one and having tails annoy the s**t out of us by screwing up the bonus levels, that sort of thing XD
Sonic 4 Ep 1 was pretty bad.....but what he's saying about episode 2 actually sounds good....especially the physics, Sonic 4 felt nothing like a classic genesis sonic should feel and i'm glad there fixing it! Although it should have been like that in the first place.....and also.....Wii VERSION?!
Episode 1 was awesome. If you couldn't enjoy it then you obviously just want Sonic to fail so go lock yourself in the closet with your Genesis and never accept anything new again.
I like the sound of no longer uncurling and not sticking to slopes, but he didn't say anything about the slow acceleration that plagued the first.

Pregnant Women May Get Free Parking in NYC
January 24, 2011
© iStockphoto
It's a case of miracles begetting miracles: a New York City councilman has proposed legislation granting expectant moms free parking in NYC, reports the New York Daily News. Pregnant women whose doctors say that they have physical or mobility challenges could receive special parking placards allowing them to park for free in no-parking or no-standing zones until 30 days after their expected due date. The bill would not grant expectant moms the right to park in handicapped spaces in parking lots or allow them to park all day without feeding the meter, unlike people with permanent disabilities.
The legislation is similar to laws already on the books elsewhere, including Georgia and Oklahoma, but given how challenging it can be to find on-street parking on New York City, the proposal faces some serious, er, roadblocks, from transportation critics. Additionally, some women's rights advocates foresee that the granting of special parking privileges could lead to discrimination against pregnant women.
Moms, would you appreciate special parking privileges during pregnancy?

Some folks say that biodiesel is chalk full of problems, including affecting food prices and taking over farm land. Unless we are able to utilize waste materials as raw material for ethanol or figure out a solid and affordable method for solar powered vehicles, which beats out all biodiesel crops with algae coming in second, there is little we can do to keep farmers from switching to growing crops for biodiesel, regardless of what that crop is composed of, if that is more profitable for them. As proof of all the questions and concerns about biofuels,

The NeST Long ncRNA Controls Microbial Susceptibility and Epigenetic Activation of the Interferon-gamma Locus
2013; 152 (4): 743-754
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly appreciated as regulators of cell-specific gene expression. Here, an enhancer-like lncRNA termed NeST (nettoie Salmonella pas Theiler's [cleanup Salmonella not Theiler's]) is shown to be causal for all phenotypes conferred by murine viral susceptibility locus Tmevp3. This locus was defined by crosses between SJL/J and B10.S mice and contains several candidate genes, including NeST. The SJL/J-derived locus confers higher lncRNA expression, increased interferon-? (IFN-?) abundance in activated CD8(+) T cells, increased Theiler's virus persistence, and decreased Salmonella enterica pathogenesis. Transgenic expression of NeST lncRNA alone was sufficient to confer all phenotypes of the SJL/J locus. NeST RNA was found to bind WDR5, a component of the histone H3 lysine 4 methyltransferase complex, and to alter histone 3 methylation at the IFN-? locus. Thus, this lncRNA regulates epigenetic marking of IFN-?-encoding chromatin, expression of IFN-?, and susceptibility to a viral and a bacterial pathogen.

James Mortimer 10.Jul.2013Getty Images
There will be new faces, a new mental approach, and the changing of some tactics as well as the implementation of new strategies.
Ewen McKenzie's status within Australian Rugby has grown as somewhat of a messiah for the Reds, a mantle well-earned considering the extraordinary turnaround of Queensland Rugby on and off the field, not merely winning an Investec Super Rugby crown, but turning the organisations finances and playing number across the state from the negative to the positive.
Of course the new Wallabies coach cannot take all the credit, but he installed that all important winning culture, backed by the 2011 title, the 2012 Australian Conference crown, and another Super Rugby Finals Series appearance this season – and such things make dramatic impact to things like players registering and money going into the coffers.
Deans Wallabies presented a dual threat to the All Blacks, although a multitude of factors, from injuries to differing game plans, through to the pedigree of New Zealand during the former Crusaders mentor's Australian reign, meant that fleeting moments of brilliance were not sustained to multiple match winning momentum.
On one front, summed up by more than a couple of matches where the Wallabies held a halftime lead, the All Blacks were able to overcome them in the second half.
But the fact that the Wallabies were able to maintain patches of match dominance as well as moment of winning sparks, were part of the dual threats.
First, they had a swagger about them that ultimately some would suggest counted against them, even if the current 'rock star' Australians have lost only four of their last seven to the All Blacks - evident of the belief that some of the younger Wallabies have brought to the side.
Second, the Wallabies able to play a game of attacking rugby that at its explosive best blew open the All Blacks defence, but their highlight reel has been less than the records racked up by the World Champions in terms of Bledisloe Rivalry and head to head numbers.
If McKenzie can harness these aspects, as well as the fact that he has a wider player base at his disposal perhaps than any Wallabies coach before him, arguably Deans greatest legacy, he will have an ideal platform to hatch his plans.
His time at the Reds did prove that miracles don't work in just one season, and it also revealed that McKenzie, who had a more stoic and forward orientated approach with the Waratahs, was able to alter his coaching style, with Queensland becoming one of the most feared attacking sides.
While some suggest that instantly Quade Cooper will come back into the fold, McKenzie will take a step back from what he has in front of him at the Reds and approach a broader stance, necessary if he is to get the best out of the Wallabies, and he now has a wider player base available to him – with the new Wallabies coach no doubt chomping at the bit to get his hands on players from five Super Rugby sides, rather than one.
The All Blacks won't plan for a specific Wallabies, wary that the change may not eventuate for a few matches, but equally alert to the fact that the Australians could, as sport has proven repeatedly, be galvanised by the new appointment.
McKenzie brings a 19-4 winning record against Kiwi sides during his time as Reds coach, and while that success wasn't evident in his time in Waratahs colours, quite simply the new Wallabies coach has spent time planning how to counter the New Zealand style of play.
He will be licking his lips at the chance to ply his trade against the World Champions, even if he will be wary that Deans proved no amount of Super Rugby pedigree can guarantee international success, something that even Sir Graham Henry discovered.
However one suspects the All Blacks will themselves be looking forward to the new challenge, for their greatest sparring partner has just got a new trainer in their corner.

Multiple agencies are investigating an early morning traffic incident on I-10 in Baton Rouge.
Officials say three men were driving back from New Orleans and their car broke down. The two men in the front seat of the vehicle started yelling that their car was on fire, that it was going to explode, as a prank.
The man, who was asleep in the backseat, woke up and quickly got out of the car and started running. That is when he fell off the I-10 East overpass at Siegen Lane. Louisiana State Police say the man did not jump intentionally.
He is listed in critical condition at this time. We are told that he has a broken leg and other broken bones.
The driver of the vehicle was cited for fake inspection sticker and driving under suspension.
No names have been released at this time.

Immunisations against a range of major diseases from hepatitis to influenza can be highly cost-effective because they are easily accessible to the most needy populations and are easily administered. However, there is significant variation between different approaches, and most charities do not focus exclusively on the most cost-effective.
Immunization is the process whereby a person is made immune or resistant to an infectious disease, typically by the administration of a vaccine. Vaccines stimulate the body's own immune system to protect the person against subsequent infection or disease.
Immunization is a proven tool for controlling and eliminating life-threatening infectious diseases and is estimated to avert over 2 million deaths each year. It is one of the most cost-effective health investments, with proven strategies that make it accessible to even the most hard-to-reach and vulnerable populations. It has clearly defined target groups; it can be delivered effectively through outreach activities; and vaccination does not require any major lifestyle change.1
1. |
Intuitively, immunizations would seem to be a likely candidate for a highly cost effective intervention type. Indeed, the WHO claim, "Immunization is a proven tool for controlling and eliminating life-threatening infectious diseases and is estimated to avert over 2 million deaths each year. It is one of the most cost-effective health investments, with proven strategies that make it accessible to even the most hard-to-reach and vulnerable populations."2 They are also recommended by the Copenhagen Consensus.
2. |
However, the results of the DCP2 and WHO-CHOICE reports suggest that though some immunization interventions are cost-effective, many are much less cost-effective.
We have been unable to find many cost-effectiveness estimates from charities which focus on immunization. The exceptions are Measles Initiative, which estimates that a single vaccination for measles costs less than $1, and Global Polio Eradication Initiative, which estimates that a single vaccination for polio costs $0.08.
The DCP2 and WHO-CHOICE cost-effectiveness estimates are as follows:
In understanding the DCP2 figures, it is important to note the contrast in cost-effectiveness between the pentavalent vaccine, the expanded program and the measles vaccine. The pentavalent vaccine consists of five vaccine treatments: Haemophilus influenzae type B (HiB), hepatitis B, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), and tetanus. The expanded program consists of diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, and the BCG. The pentavalent vaccine and the expanded program treat very similar diseases; however, only the latter treats measles. It is therefore possible that, in the expanded program, it is the vaccination against measles that is responsible for almost all the cost-effectiveness.
Another point to note is that it is likely that the DCP2's measles cost-effectiveness estimate is optimistic, as the number of cases of measles has been declining rapidly since the report, which suggests that cost-effectiveness will similarly decrease.
Note that the DCP2 estimate for measles vaccination is the benefit of providing a centralised clinic for a 'second chance' vaccination. In other words, for people to visit and be vaccinated if they missed the opportunity to be vaccinated in their villages. According the the DCP2, this is a particularly effective method, with each $1,000 preventing 250 Disability Adjusted Life Years, which is roughly on a par with saving 8 lives. The WHO-CHOICE estimate (which doesn't specify whether it is a second chance, a first chance, or mixed) is that each $1,000 spent on measles vaccination would save around 30 DALYs, or the equivalent of 1 life.
Other Information
Are there side-effects?
All health interventions have side-effects, both good and bad.
Some of the positive side-effects of immunization include:
- Vaccination does not require any major lifestyle change, and there is very little cost to the recipient, in terms of travel costs and working hours lost.
- They have economic benefits, as these diseases can severely impair the ability to work.
One negative side-effect is:
- Some of the vaccinations have very small risks of medical side-effects.
It is important to know which immunizations an immunization charity is providing. Many do not focus merely on the traditional expanded program but also fund pentavalent vaccination programs, so they divide their expenditure between highly cost-effective and much less cost-effective interventions. We have yet to find a charity that focuses solely on the most cost-effective vaccinations.
In general, we don't have sufficient evidence that immunization programs, as they are carried out by charities, are cost effective enough for us to recommend them.

Nairobi, 18 Mar 10
UN-HABITAT launched its report State of the World Cities 2010/2011: Bridging the Urban Divide in the run up to the World Urban Forum 5 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
UN-HABITAT Executive Director Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka launched the report at press conferences in London, Paris and Rio de Janeiro. The report investigates the challenges facing our rapidly urbanizing population and how the urban advantage, the economic and social benefit of living in a city, can be exploited and enjoyed by all.
"With over half the world's population now living in cities, and cities making a disproportionate contribution to climate change, urbanization is one of the "crucial agendas" of our time, UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon said in a preface to the publication.
According to Mrs. Tibaijuka, to new estimates presented in this report showed that between the year 2000 and 2010 over 200 million people in the developing world will have been lifted out of slum conditions. In other words, she said, governments have collectively exceeded the Millennium Target by at least a multiple of two.
"However, this achievement is not uniformly distributed across regions. Success is highly skewed towards the more advanced emerging economies, while poorer countries have not done as well. For this reason, there is no room for complacency, because in the course of the same years the number of slum dwellers increased by six million every year," she said.
This year's Fifth Session of the World Urban Forum in Rio de Janeiro will explore the right to the city and will feature open debates and key dialogues addressing; sustainable urbanization, governance and participation, the urban divide, cultural diversity, equal access to shelter and finally, taking forward the right to the city.
This year, for the first time, State of Urban Youth 2010/2011: Leveling the Playing Field, a report focused specifically on the youth in our cities, will also accompany this important research.

My daughter comes down with a cold regularly - about once every 2 to 3 months. During the winter months between December and February, she would inevitably be sick at least once. I put her on EpiCor since the beginning of December last year, and for 2 1/2 months, she hasn't been sick! Even during December, when everybody in our entire household took turn getting sick, she stayed clear. When she did get a few sniffles, I could use other natural remedies to help her fend it off - which before, didn't work. Every time, she started with running nose and would end up coughing. Since seeing her results, I started taking the adult version too.

Someone in the sticky thread mentioned, Timeriffic - autosettings - Timeriffic, mute or un-mute the global Android ringer at a specified time of the day. - Project Hosting on Google Code which should work, as it will do 'Airplane mode', basically shut down all wireless, based on a time. Locale can do something similar, but not the airplane mode without buying the plugin for it. I haven't found an app yet to mimic Blackberry's Auto On/Off Ability yet.
The app "Locale" Might be helpful to you. It won't turn the phone off, but you can set it to go into silent mode based on the time of day, date, location, and a few other settings.
Locale will work for the time instance, but I think at the moment, it's Location determination code is not quite ready for Droid 2.0. I just tested it at home over the weekend and just a few minutes ago, there is a flaw where it is not giving the Droid 2.0 time to pass its GPS information so suddenly, it reports my current location way way off, even when I am in an area where there is no obstruction for GPS sat location, it pins me about 2 to 3 blocks to several hundred blocks away from my true location. I mentioned this to the locale support forums to be aware of the issue.
I have noticed that it is a bit slow but that doesn't really bother me. I am sure they will fix it soon.
Thank you all for your replies.
i'm wondering if any apps have been created to duplicate the auto on/off yet? that's one of the features i'm most missing from my blackberry days.

Hi all. After having bowled together for quite a while and it having become a returning event, Ann Overstreet has kindly offered to set up this bowling group, open to all home-schoolers. At her request, I am copying and pasting her email to me here on the list. If you are interested, please contact Ann at email email@example.com Please let her know that you came through the ABQ Homeschool Coop
Here's the latest update on bowling.
The Homeschool Bowling League will start bowling
in October,
on the first and third Wednesdays
at 2pm
at Leisure Bowl on Lomas.
We plan to continue during the school year, but may take time off due to holidays.
This will be discussed further after our first session.
FIRST SESSION: OCTOBER 6, 2010, 2pm
I plan to arrive about 1:30pm for the first session to get organized.
You are welcome and encouraged to arrive early for the first session.
1) The term League is used loosely here. We will not be following all league guidelines, etc.
2) We will NOT be focusing on competition between the participants.
3) We WILL be focusing on each bowler improving their own game with everyone being part of one team, encouraging each other.
4) Courtesy, good sportsmanship, and respect for the equipment and each other are the norm.
5) This is a time for visiting / networking for non - bowling parents. It has proven very pleasant in the past. However, parents (or designated alternate) should still be available to monitor their own students.
The rates are based on number of games bowled and include shoes. The rates are not linear and are strictly the Leisure Bowl rates, there is no additional charge.
There are three tiers, the same as the earlier HS League.
The ages are not exclusive, just an indication of what worked before.
Parents can join in and bowl at these rates too.
Toddlers : 1 game $3
Young ones & Tweens : 2 games $5
Teens : 3 games $6
I will collect the bowling fees from group members and pay at one time at the beginning of the session.
Please plan to bring cash for each bowler. Exact change won't be necessary, but appreciated.
1) For the first session, please email me if you would like to participate and provide names and ages of all bowlers. No need to specify age for the parent, just designate "parent" and let me know you plan to bowl.
2) Bowlers will be grouped by who participates at a given session, not by set "teams". This method is flexible, so if someone can't attend one week it doesn't "throw a monkey wrench in the works". Everyone who attends gets to bowl and enjoy.
3) The basic grouping of bowlers will be by age and ability. For instance: toddlers, 5-7 yr olds, 8 - 10 yr olds, 11 - 12 yr olds, teens, parents. It will depend on who participates. And these groupings are flexible. One example: If a parent or older sibling prefers to bowl with a toddler, we can arrange that.
4) We will use league style bowling - two alternating lanes - for most of the groups. The toddler and younger bowlers are an exception. We will have one set lane for each of their groups. This will all be clarified at our first session.
5) The number of bowlers per group will vary depending on participation and age. Toddlers may have 2 or 3 per group, while teens may have 4 - 5. Note that having a parent or two to assist each toddler group is necessary.
6) The use of bumpers is encouraged for beginning / novice bowlers. After bowling with the kids for a few years I've found that the fewer gutter balls, the more fun they have and the better they get. It becomes a challenge to get a strike or spare without hitting the bumpers. But a strike or spare using the bumpers is no shame, the kids are still excited and enthused. And that leads to improvement.
7) Leisure Bowl will provide score sheets and statistics for our bowlers. This allows us to track individual progress. This will be discussed further after our first session.
1) Generally, the policy at Leisure Bowl is "no outside food or drink". There is a snack bar on site if individuals want a snack or drink. But we ask that the timing not disrupt nor stop their group from bowling.
2) For special times, such as holidays, we may want to do something extra. I'll have to make prior arrangements for this, but it is possible. We can discuss that after our first session.
3) There is a game room. And the students do enjoy it. However, I ask that bowlers not go to the game room during the bowling session as this disrupts the activity. Of course, before or after, is your decision.
Well, that's a lot of details and hopefully answers most questions. Please email me if you have any further questions.
And definitely email me if you plan to participate. This has been a pleasant activity over the years and we look forward to sharing it with other families.
Hope to see you there,
Ann Overstreet

"I see this as I'm doing something right," Level said after his five-tackle performance against TCU. "I'm doing something good that the coaches like. I'm going to have to keep working hard and keep this improvement going."
Pennington sees no reason for Level to slow down now, not in the twilight of the senior's collegiate career. Pennington never saw Level slow down at WVU Tech, no matter the obstacle.
"I don't recall where it was, but I remember this big running back coming right at him," Pennington said. "Cecil didn't slow down at all; he'd throw his body at anybody.
"The guy would stick his face in the fan because he was not scared of anything."
If Level ever hesitated, it was when Pennington and fellow WVU Tech assistant Michael Scott, also a former WVU player, started encouraging Level to take a risk with the Golden Bears' football program facing disbandment.
"They believed I had the talent to come here," Level said. "They believed in me, so I tried out and made it.
"I think I made the right decision."
Pennington said Level's career arc is a testament to the difficulties of recruiting, which he called a "crapshoot." But now Pennington gets to hit the recruiting trail and tell the tale of a former player who believed in Pennington's path enough to believe in himself.
Pennington listened to the WVU-TCU game on the radio while driving home Saturday. Tony Caridi, WVU's play-by-play announcer, mentioned Level's name often.
"I'm beaming with pride," the coach said. "I've been telling everybody, bragging on him like crazy. That's my boy.
"He was a skinny little 18-year-old kid and now look at him, and I always think about how he was picking my brain to see how I did it. That's what it's all about. He was motivated to go do that; it was a dream of his.
"And I'm the last person to hold anyone back from dreaming big. Not many go for it. He did."

Detroit police chief issues '2014 Plan of Action'
DETROIT (AP) - Chief James Craig has placed a 10-percent drop in overall crime, 5-minute response time for priority calls to 911 and more solved homicides among this year's goals for Detroit's police force.
Craig released his 2014 Plan of Action on Thursday and is making it available to residents on the city's website.
The department also will hire 150 new officers by mid-year and deploy detectives in each of the city's 12 police precincts.
Craig reported last week that violent and property crimes dropped in 2013 by about 7 percent each. Police response time was cut to about eight minutes.
Investigators now close about half the city's murder cases. Craig wants the clearance rate for homicides up to at least 70 percent.
Craig became chief in July.
