An international trade deal is being negotiated that could – in theory – give large international banks an opportunity to sue governments that implement monetary reform. Peter Verity, coordinator of the Sheffield Positive Money group, considers whether this might be a threat to Positive Money.

45 LEADING SCHOLARS, AUTHORS AND ACTIVISTS will convene at The Great Hall of Cooper Union, New York City, for a public "TEACH-IN" on the profound impacts—environmental, economic and social—of runaway technological expansion; the tendency to see technology as the savior for all problems. A change of direction is required, returning the fate of nature to the center of economic and social decision making.

"Over the past thirty years, the ability of global finance to affect aspects of everyday life has been increasing at an unprecedented rate. The world of food bears vivid testimony to this tendency, through the scars opened by the 2008 world food price crisis, the iron fist of retailing giants that occupy the supply chain and the unsustainable ecological footprint left behind by global production networks.
The proposed privatization of the grand public theater in Rome, Teatro Valle, has been defeated – but perhaps more importantly, the historic three-year occupation of the building has succeeded in achieving many of its primary goals, including the recognition of its demands to establish a new theater commons, after weeks of contentious negotiations.

Around the globe, intelligent and pervasive industrial automation has been catapulted in recent years to a top national or regional priority. Known by different names, e.g., "Advanced Manufacturing", "Smart Manufacturing", "Industry 4.0" or "Factories of the Future" to highlight a few, these initiatives all bear the same characteristics, i.e., transforming the manufacturing process from a patchwork of isolated silos to a nimble and seamless whole fully integrated with the downstream and upstream production environment.

'Technology is not neutral," wrote the French philosopher Jacques Ellul. "It has both positive and negative effects." As the sharing economy skyrockets in popularity, giving rise to companies such as Airbnb, Lyft, Uber and others we have yet to hear of, Ellul's words bear remembering.
The wisdom of his observation was evident in the 1980s, when the Internet was in its infancy. Few then could grasp the tremendous commercial potential of the quasi-federal network of interconnected computers that emerged from government and university labs. As the Internet's commercial power became apparent in the 1990s, some viewed it as a threat to traditional commerce and pushed to tax and regulate it.

John O. McGinnis, the George C. Dix Professor in Constitutional Law at Northwestern University, says we are in the midst of a sharing economy, and that's a good thing. (Don't get all socialist on me; a sharing economy is one driven by service and technology. We are not going to have to pool our food in the commune.) McGinnis says this type of economy is good for liberty as well.

It's as true as anything else that political life is an ongoing process of (re)negotiating "normal." Policies and practices succeed and become part of society most often when they seem safely in the realm of already acceptable political opinion - what is tolerated depends on what is successfully sold as tolerable. Twenty years ago, equal marriage nationwide was unthinkable - today, it is quickly becoming business as usual. Meanwhile, US airports in the age of homeland security have assumed a new character, with carefully drilled experiments in choreographed security theater, as nonsensical as they are absolute. "Negotiations" of what is "tolerable" can take many forms.

This past week several reports came across my desk highlighting both the good news and the bad news about the future of automation and robotics.

Tucked down into the southeast corner of Tennessee, Chattanooga is, perhaps, the most unassuming city in the Volunteer State. Though it doesn't have the musical legacies of Nashville or Memphis, or the University of Tennessee like Knoxville, what Chattanooga's 170,000 residents do share is the fastest Internet speeds in the United States. That's right: Chattanooga is the first Western Hemisphere city running a one-gigabit-per-second fiber Internet service. It's 200 times faster than the national average and has earned Chattanooga its nickname, Gig City, along with a seat at the grown-up table.
Over 800 million people around the world suffer from food insecurity, and yet, global food waste continues to be a major issue with one-third of all food produced being thrown away. One reason for this is that we're too damn picky about our fruits and vegetables. Most of us want these foods to look flawless, so anything that is not perfectly shaped gets thrown away before it even hits the market.
Stacco Troncoso and his colleagues at Guerrilla Translation in Madrid have completed an English translation of an important statement from Spain, "The Charter for Democracy," which should be of great interest to small-d democrats throughout the world. He explains that "the group behind the piece, "Movimiento por la Democracia" (Movement for Democracy), is undoubtedly one of the most important evolutions of Spain's 15-M movement. It clearly targets the political arena without desiring to become a political party itself. Their 'Charter for Democracy' is an inspiring, thorough text on what politics should be. It proposes a politics for the people: squarely grounded in environmental realities and social justice, based on the Commons, defended from corporate interests and neoliberal dictates."
Has the United States finally reached peak sprawl? Recent research, including a new study out of the George Washington University School of Business, suggests that the end of the era of automobile-oriented suburban growth is upon us. In Foot Traffic Ahead: Ranking Walkable Urbanism in America's Largest Metros [pdf], Christopher B. Leinberger and Patrick Lynch argue that current trends indicate a reorientation to high-density, multi-use development akin to—but not quite the inverse of—the mid-twentieth-century abandonment of the center city for the suburbs. Moreover, they suggest that a wholehearted embrace of walkable urban development would strengthen the American economy in addition to providing the less tangible benefits associated with living and working in walkable communities.
After the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture cracked down on a seed bank in the Joseph T. Simpson Public Library in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, hundreds of seed libraries in the U.S. are suddenly wondering if they are breaking the law. According to Pennsylvania regulators, in order to give out member-donated seeds, theSimpson Seed Library would have to put around 400 seeds of each variety through impractical seed testing procedures in order to determine quality, germination rate, and so on. The result of the Pennsylvania crackdown is that the library will no longer give out seeds other than those which are commercially packaged.
The appeal is obvious: out-of-town visitors looking for an authentic experience at an affordable price go online and search through an array of private houses, apartments and rooms offered up by locals who pocket extra cash. It's win-win — or so it seems.

Facebook messages reportedly sent to a witness caused a 36-year-old Walton man to return to jail without bond.
Steven Seals is facing an attempted murder charge, a class A felony, for reportedly trying to kill a man as he drove past his Walton home. Seals's bond was revoked Friday after Cass Superior Court II Judge Rick Maughmer found that Seals had contacted a witness in the case via Facebook.
Seals was originally arrested Aug. 2, 2012, after police say he fired 14 shots from the porch of his Turner Terrace home at an acquaintance who was driving by. The man was reportedly uninjured except for a small cut.
The attempted murder charge was filed Nov. 15, 2012, when Cass County Prosecutor Kevin Enyeart said they had information evidence filed for a "specific intent to kill," as required by Indiana law.
Seals faces five charges: attempted murder, a class A felony; three counts of criminal recklessness with a weapon, all class D felonies; and criminal mischief, a class A misdemeanor.
Cass County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Lisa Swaim said in court Friday that a witness for the case had said she had been contacted by Seals through a private Facebook message while he was out of jail on bail. The reported contact also violated a protective order the witness had against Seals.
Swaim said Seals's bond should be revoked because his actions demonstrated "an instability," in addition to violating the protective order.
Seals's attorney, Jay Hirschauer, said that while the witness may have received Facebook messages from Seals's profile, the prosecution could not prove that he had sent the messages, rather than someone hacking into his account.
"There's nothing in this case that links this back to the defendant," Hirschauer said.
Cass County Sheriff's Deputy Mike Shannon and Detective Dale Campbell both testified and said they believed Seals had sent he messages.
Maughmer ruled later in the afternoon Friday to revoke Seals's bail because Swaim had provided "clear and convincing creditable hearsay" showing that Seals did "intimidate a prospective witness."
Swaim said in an interview that hearsay evidence was accepted in this case because it wasn't an actual trial for the case.
Seals has been in the Cass County Jail since Feb. 26.
He also faces a class A misdemeanor charge of invasion of privacy in a separate case stemming from the reported Facebook messages.
"At this point we will be moving forward with the discovery," Swaim said in an interview.
Seals has a status hearing scheduled for both cases June 3 in Cass Superior Court II.

One of the most anticipated movies of the season is also one of the most disturbing. "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," directed by David Fincher, features actress Rooney Mara portraying Lisbeth Salander. The motion picture is adapted from a Swedish series of novels.
Movie expert Jake Hamilton interviewed Mara and actor Daniel Craig, known best for his portrayal of James Bond in that series of films, who described their experiences during the production of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo."
"There is a very rough and graphic rape scene in the film," warns Hamilton. In other words, this is not a movie to bring children to.

ORION also lets UPS managers peer into the habits of individual drivers, pinpointing, for example, the number of times a driver backs up a truck or makes a U-turn. This information can be used to identify drivers who need additional training.
"We have sensors that capture information about the vehicle and the driver's behaviors. We marry that information to delivery and acquisition information, and we can get a complete picture of how a driver is completing his work, day in and day out," Perez says. "That has incredible consequences for the way we manage the business across the board."
Now, the company's appetite for data is extending outward. Its goal is to get closer -- much closer -- to its millions of customers with another analytics-intensive service called UPS My Choice, which lets people set individual preferences for how they interact with the company.
Customers using the service can, among other things, give specific instructions about how and precisely where to deliver their packages to specific addresses, reroute packages if they change locations, and sign up to receive status alerts.
"What we've done is take a new approach to managing personal supply chains. Having that level of connectivity with our customers is going to change our business now and in the years to come. The integration with consumers is what is enabling revenue growth," says Perez. In the first year UPS My Choice was available, more than 2 million customers signed up for the service, and more than 25 million packages were delivered under its auspices.
Data about customers' delivery preferences helps UPS to continue to refine its internal processes in response to those preferences "so we can build a one-to-one experience," Perez says.
But even more critical is the insight that the data provides into what new products and services to offer.
"All of the [tracking and delivery] notifications we provide and how customers respond to notifications tell us what they want so we can create the products and services they want. It's a lot of data to define new products and services."
The next step, as Perez sees it, is to tie everything together and create a graphic picture of UPS's various big data systems so the company can uncover new uses for the data -- and thereby derive more business value from it.
"It starts with process improvements, but once you start tying all of this together, it can mean very big changes in the business," Perez says. "That's what we're getting at."
The Win: Millions in added sales
Traditional business intelligence is alive and well at Intel, but big data mining and predictive analytics are the forces driving design and manufacturing efficiencies, and uncovering new revenue sources that added up to tens of millions of dollars in 2012 alone.
"It starts with believing that you can change outcomes," says CIO Kim Stevenson of the chip manufacturer's massive success with analytics. That, she says, requires less time spent on historical questions, which is the purview of traditional BI, and more focus on the future, which is what predictive analytics is all about.
Predicting the future at $53 billion Intel requires analyzing massive amounts of data to discern patterns and then applying predictive algorithms to solve high-value business problems.

The Hauser Colloquium for 2012-13 focuses on the intersection of international law and politics. International law and international politics are in tension with one another, since law purports to be general and principled, while politics is often highly particular and shaped by interests and power. To explore this tension and its ramifications, this seminar will feature speakers both from political science and from law, who will, from different disciplinary and paradigmatic perspectives, examine how institutions and law reflect, and alter, the availability of information, interests of relevant actors, and policy outcomes.
The speaker sessions are open to the entire NYU community - all welcome. Papers are available approximately one week before each session, and should be downloaded from the website and read in advance.

By Bill Kirk
---- — LAWRENCE — Local detectives and administrators at Central Catholic High School are investigating threats made by a student against the school and students late in the last school year and reported by two of his classmates earlier this week.
The student in question, whose name or grade has not been released, cannot attend the school at least until after the investigation is complete, the school said in a statement released yesterday.
"On Monday, Dec. 17, two Central Catholic students alleged to school administration that a third student had uttered a threat several months ago about causing harm to the school and its students," according to the statement, released by David DeFillippo, the school's director of community relations. "Immediately upon receiving this information, the administration took steps to isolate the student from the school community to ensure the safety of all students and to allow for a thorough investigation by the appropriate authorities."
The statement went on to say: "Consistent with school policy, the school has informed the student in question that, at the very least, the student will not be allowed to attend school until and unless Central Catholic has assured itself fully that no danger in any way is posed to the school community."
Police Chief John Romero said detectives are investigating and no charges have been filed.
"We just started it," he said. "We are still talking to people."
DeFillippo said the student has not been suspended nor has he been expelled.
"The investigation is close to being completed," he said, adding that students can't be disciplined without going through "due process."
DeFillippo said no weapons were involved, but that it was an "utterance" made by the student to two classmates at the end of the last school year.
He said they probably didn't think much about the alleged threat until the incident in Newtown, Conn., made them realize what could happen.
"The events of Newtown may have caused these two students to come forward and recall something that happened at end of the last school year," he said. "When you think of the horror of Newtown, it may have helped them recall as important what they thought was insignificant."
In an email earlier this week to parents, Principal Doreen Keller said, "As you are well aware, the events in Newtown have made this a difficult and stressful time for students, parents and educators in school systems across the country. I want to assure you of the 100 percent commitment of the administration, faculty and staff of Central Catholic to do everything possible to maintain a safe and stable environment with the well-being of your child as our very first priority."
Romero said the investigation could conclude by today or tomorrow.

|More fond memories of those simpler times
Letter to the Editor:
I read a well-written letter in your paper from Jeff Lewis, titled "Couple truly cared about others," a few weeks ago.I too remember the little store on the north side of Eagle River owned and operated by Frank and Gladys Adamovich, although my memories date back even further to the 1950s. The store had a green awning with the words "Northside Grocery" advertising the business (anybody have pictures?).
My family often stopped there for groceries on the way home from school and work. My job was to run in and pick up the necessary supplies, but often without payment. Frank and Gladys generously extended credit, helping many families make ends meet and put food on the table.
I knew exactly where the ice cream cooler was, since I was allowed an occasional Eskimo Pie treat. I vaguely remember being kindly reminded by Gladys that our bill was past due. I took that message back out to the car, and I'm sure we had a serious family discussion at supper about tightening our belts even more. That line of credit was a huge help to our family, and we made certain to never reach that limit again (no more Eskimo Pies!).
Thanks to Frank and Gladys for the wonderful memories of much simpler times when neighbors helping neighbors was the rule rather than the exception. Those were the days!
With great respect and deepest sympathy to the Adamovich family.
Guy Richter
Rye, Colo.
PS. Frank was a great hockey player for the Eagle River Northernaires back in the day. I notice that tradition continues on the current Falcon roster. Congratulations on your championship!

Law Review
As an academic forum for legal scholarship, the journal is a valuable research tool for legal practitioners. The Law Review also operates as a training ground for its members and provides them with the opportunity to hone their writing, research, editing, and time-management skills—the very skills that are prized in the job market. Under the direction of a student-run Editorial Board, the Law Review is published four times a year. Articles include works by professors, practitioners, judges and students, and inquiries regarding submission are always welcome. The Law Review also hosts an annual symposium—a conference for students and legal professionals that addresses timely legal issues—and co-sponsors the Feminist Legal Theory Conference with the Center for Applied Feminism. In 2012, the Law Review unveiled an online version of the publication to serve as an outlet for the timely publishing of editorials, commentary and legal scholarship for the Law Review staff and the local legal community as a whole. It is available here.

Drizzle and misty conditions stick around through Thursday, with cloudy skies and temperatures in the 60s for everyone. Mostly cloudy skies keep temperatures in the low to mid 50s overnight. Friday should be dry early with a chance for a scattered shower later in the day, highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. Late Friday night we see showers move in, keeping the weekend in the soggy trend with scattered showers Saturday, becoming steadier in the later hours of the day. Sunday consistent rain moves in, and temperatures remain cool in the mid to upper 60s.

San Rafael chevrolet went out of their way to replace our damaged vette with a new, b
***********Re-opened at originators request to post his story****
San Rafael Chevrolet really came through for us. Greg James and the dealership crew went out of their way to make it right and we are safisfied with the results. No question any more about their intentions and efforts. They delivered as promised and replaced our vette with a new 07, slightly better equipped, at our old loan rate and amount we owed. (Thanks to our credit union, contra costa credit union for matching the loan rate.) I think he took quite a hit. Maybe the mod can change the original header title of the post so the google result will show a positive header.
I saw his service shop. It was the cleanest, most well organized shop I've ever seen. So they did the right thing by us in the end. Thanks to all who helped, from my wife Ronda and I. Any dealer or shop can learn from this, and that is, to make sure anyone driving a client's car drives it very carefully and if there is an accident, bend over backwards to make it right.

Since the beginning of the West Nile threat, we've been telling you prevention is really the only option for protecting yourself, there is no cure or human vaccination. It's inevitable that you're going to have to go outside sometime and spraying down with a can of "Off" before heading off to work or to check your mailbox, might not be practical.
In this week's "Does it Work?" Joe Terrell tests a simple product called the Bug Off that might not be the ultimate protection, but it's inexpensive and it might just be better than nothing. Question is, "Does it Work?"
Dr. Steve Presley, is a researcher at the Institute of Environmental and Human Health and he has access to 500 hungry, female mosquitos. Dr. Presley raised them from larvae.
Dr. Presley and five brave souls plan to stick their arms into cages full of mosquitoes for our test. Bug Off is a little wristband. It looks like a round, colorful telephone cord. It's treated with citronella.
Two of our volunteers will be wearing the Bug Off on their right wrists. Dr. Presley explains what else will be needed for this test. "We're going to have a positive control which is Deet. We know it works. Each left arm will be negative control." What he means by that is, the right arm on each volunteer will have some sort of treatment and their left arm will be all natural.
After a quick wash, everyone was ready to take on blood sucking mosquitoes inside the insectary.
Now, I know what you are thinking. And no, there is no chance any of these mosquitoes carries West Nile. Because they were all raised here, Dr. Presley can ensure they're all disease free.
Rachel goes first, she's wearing the Bug Off on her right arm and nothing on her left. Each arm in separate tanks. Three men stand in as the official counters.
And the count? Five mosquitoes were biting her arm with the band. Fourteen were on her untreated left arm. Man that's gonna itch for a long time.
Ritchie was wearing the wrist band too. Only one mosquito doesn't mind the citronella, but a whopping 19 mosquitoes having a feast on his unprotected arm.
Walter has no band, just mosquito repellant with Deet on his right arm. The mosquitoes are staying clear from the Deet, but five are feasting on his untreated left arm. Les has on Deet too. Again, the arm sprayed with Deet is 100 percent guaranteed to repel those mosquitoes and is clean. And our observers count four bugs on his untested arm.
At this point, we've lost our itch to submit anyone else to this abuse.
Dr. Presley says he has all the data he needs.
So, "Does it Work?"
These were pretty controlled lab conditions, so we're confident saying, while the Bug Off bracelet with citronella is pretty effective, our test shows products with Deet are still clearly the best. We want to stress that. When you can, and the stakes are high, protect yourself with Deet. But you can't always spray, and the Bug Off is certainly better than nothing.
We give the Bug Off wrist bands, a yes.
Now, here's the catch. Despite the fact stores have carried this in our area in the past, we couldn't find any today when we hit several retailers. Word must have gotten out. The Bug Off is available online for about five dollars a piece. Sometimes they come in 4 packs. We see some available through Amazon and other popular online stores and a bunch are for sale on eBay.
We'll let you know if we run across any in the near future. By the way, the Bug Off bracelets are reusable.

ARCADIA, Calif. (March 25, 2010) – Irish-bred Minute Limit stormed home on the extreme outside under jockey Joel Rosario Thursday to defeat 3-2 favored Irish-bred Manhattan Beach by one length in Santa Anita's $49,400 allowance feature for fillies and mares at 6 ½ furlongs on turf.
The result provided leading trainer John Sadler with his 33rd victory of the meet and a seven-win lead over Bob Baffert. It deprived Mike Mitchell, who trains Manhattan Beach, of his third winner of the afternoon. The winning time was 1:14.23.
Manhattan Beach, with Rafael Bejarano in the irons, found an opening along the rail to momentarily gain the lead from pacesetter Lemon Supreme in midstretch before Minute Limit came charging on the other extremity.
Lemon Supreme, ridden by Brice Blanc, held on gamely for third in the field of six, a head behind Manhattan Beach.
The second choice at odds of 19-10, Minute Limit paid $5.80, $2.80 and $2.20. Manhattan Beach returned $2.80 and $2.20. The show price on Lemon Supreme was $3.40.
The victory by Minute Limit, a 4-year-old filly owned Team Valor International and Gary Barber, atoned for a runner-up effort to Unzip Me in her previous start, her first over Santa Anita's downhill turf course.
The winning purse of $29,400 hiked the career earnings of Minute Limit to $100,313 from an overall record of 3-3-0 in 10 races including three in England to begin her career.
Santa Anita's popular "Free Fridays" promotion continues on Friday with free admission and no charge for box seats on a first-come, first-served basis. Hot dogs, sodas, beer, popcorn and coffee may be purchased for $1 each. First post for the card of eight races is at 1 p.m.

Sponsored by the Census Bureau and charged to evaluate the 2010 U.S. census with an eye toward suggesting research and development for the 2020 census, the Panel to Review the 2010 Census uses this first interim report to suggest general priorities for 2020 research. Although the Census Bureau has taken some useful organizational and administrative steps to prepare for 2020, the panel offers three core recommendations, and suggests the Census Bureau take and assertive, aggressive approach to 2020 planning rather than casting possibilities purely as hypothetical.
The first recommendation on research and development suggests four broad topic areas for research early in the decade. Second, the report suggest that the Bureau take an aggressive, assertive posture toward research in these priority areas. Third, it identifies the setting of bold goals as essential to underscoring the need for serious reengineering and building commitment to change.

Career exploration students at Moore Norman Technology Center in Norman, Okla., participate in the community's Random Acts of Kindness Week. Although community service is always part of the program, students crank it up during this particular week of the year. Projects include working with children with disabilities; washing, walking and grooming animals at a local shelter for abused animals; and hosting a luncheon for more than 100 at Station 7 of the Norman Fire Department. The students leave behind bracelets to remind their recipients to likewise practice random acts of kindness.
Pet visits make a difference
Students at Bergen County Academies in Hackensack, N.J., created a patchwork quilt for the Tomorrows Children's Fund of their local medical center. The Patches for Caring project involved 65 SkillsUSA members who, using the theme American Dreams, made patches representing dreams expressed by children dealing with life-threatening illnesses. A quilter from a local crafts shop served as a sewing mentor, and youngsters from the school's day care center created stars for the quilt. Students also distributed 40 fleece blankets to chemotherapy patients.
At EHOVE Career Center in Milan, Ohio, electricity instructor Chuck Oeder (left) guides student D.J. Kramer, and Jen Thompson as they finish a motor control panel for a local company. Students built and wired the panel to the company's print specifications. The panel will run industrial washers, ovens and conveyors. The project involved nearly 150 hours and incorporated lessons covered in class including programmable logic controllers, variable frequency drives, and motor starters and relays.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Jan. 10, 2011
City crews responding to winter weather
City of Kansas City, Mo. crews assigned to arterial, primary and residential streets continue to clear snow from City streets, and Phases I and II of the City's Snow Ordinance continue to be in effect.
Crews assigned to primary and arterial streets will continue 24-hour operations to remove snow and apply salt on City streets. Crews assigned to residential streets will continue to apply salt on hills, intersections, curves and slick areas and work to maintain a passable lane on residential streets until 6 p.m. tonight, Jan. 10. Residential crews will resume work tomorrow, running routes during daytime hours.
Residents are advised that parking cars off-street during snow removal operations greatly improves the ability of snowplows to remove snow, especially in cul-de-sacs and on dead-end streets. Residents are encouraged to park off-street in driveways when possible.
The City's Snow and Ice Plan calls for keeping primary and arterial streets open for traffic. On primary and arterial streets, crews plow curb-to-curb and work around the clock to remove snow and apply salt. On residential streets, the City's Snow and Ice Plan calls for providing a passable lane. Crews assigned to residential streets apply salt on intersections, hills and curves and plow snow as needed.
Phase I of a winter storm watch is issued when the streets are slick. During this time, drivers will be ticketed if they get stuck on a major thoroughfare and block traffic.
During Phase II of a winter storm, cars parked on designated snow routes will be ticketed two hours after the phase is implemented.
The City's Public Works, Parks and Recreation and Water Services departments collaborate to remove snow and ice from approximately 2,400 lane miles of arterial street roadways and 2,000 center lane miles of residential streets.
Residents wanting to report slick spots or missed streets are advised to hold off on calling the 3-1-1 City Action Center until Wednesday morning to allow City crews ample time to clear streets.
At this time, residents may call the following numbers for assistance: 3-1-1 City Action Center, 311 or 816-513-1313; and the Missouri Department of Transportation, 816-622-6500.
Media inquiries about ice and snow removal should be directed to Dennis Gagnon, public information officer for the Public Works Department, 816-513-2659.

ATLANTA (AP) - Forecasters say all of north Georgia will be under a flash flood watch through late Thursday night as heavy rains are again possible in the region.
The flood watch comes a day after rains flooded homes and roads in the north Georgia mountains on Wednesday. It covers several Georgia cities, including Atlanta, Athens, Blairsville, Dalton, LaGrange, Gainesville and Rome.
On Wednesday, some residents were evacuated from their homes in Pickens County, which has been hard-hit by repeated flooding. Residents there and in neighboring Gilmer County were still cleaning up from severe flooding a week ago when more flooding occurred on Wednesday.

Our relationship with Action by Churches Together (ACT)
PDA is an active member of the Action by Churches Together (ACT) Alliance. By working together with and through our ACT partners, PDA is able to extend its reach and work more quickly and efficiently to respond to human suffering.
Just before His crucifixion, our Lord Jesus Christ prayed:
"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one"
(John 17: 20 – 22).
For this reason, it is always a great source of joy and delight when Christians and churches join together in the unity of the body of Jesus Christ. Our unity is an expression of love, and it is love that will change this world to make it a better place for all humanity.
The following questions and answers are intended to help lift up why membership in ACT is beneficial to PC(USA).
What is ACT Alliance?
ACT Alliance is the coordinating office that brings together a worldwide network of Protestant and Orthodox churches and their related agencies for long-term development and humanitarian assistance. It was formed in March 2010 by joining together the ministries of ACT International and ACT Development.
What was ACT International?
ACT International, a global ecumenical organization, was formed in 1995 as a result of the genocide in Rwanda in 1994, when churches and their related agencies around the world responded to the disaster through a mechanism that was ACT's precursor -- the then Church Action Aid. A key purpose ACT was to have an entity to ensure an appropriate standard of humanitarian assistance was provided to families adversely affected by disaster. ACT International and its members (as are current members of ACT Alliance) are signatories to the Code of Conduct in Disaster Relief and aim to uphold the Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Disaster Response, known as the Sphere standards.
What was ACT Development?
While ACT International was working to coordinate ecumenical work in emergency relief; there was a need for a similar mechanism for collaboration once the immediate emergency was over. ACT Development was formed in 2006 as a means to address the then changing context of development work and sought to enhance collaboration and mutual accountability between churches working in the field of development and to increase the visibility of ecumenical work.
Why did ACT International and ACT Development merge?
The merger of ACT International and ACT Development provides the opportunity to better link emergency humanitarian assistance and sustainable development. When the emergency is over, and the funds gived for emergency response run out, churches continue to be present; they are the organization at the end of the street or village, which remains when all others have gone.
What is the benefit of ACT membership?
One of the primary benefits of ACT membership for PDA is that with other ACT members, relief work can be done on a cost shared basis. For example, when a disaster occurs in a country (e.g. earthquake, flood, famine,) the ACT Alliance:
- Performs a situation analysis and prepares one comprehensive needs assessment for the country.
- Vets and approves the beneficiary organizations that will provide the relief services in the affected country.
- Circulates the needs assessment and budget to the list of potential ACT donors each of which contributes as it wishes.
- Collects the funds from the ACT donors and disburses funds to the beneficiary organizations at the appropriate time(s.)
- Monitors the performance of the beneficiary organizations and shares the periodic and written and financial reports to all donors.
- Obtains one audit at the project completion and shares it with all donors.
Thus, the monitoring and supervisory costs incurred by ACT Alliance are much lower than if PDA and each other donor organization performed its own grant administration on relief projects.
What is the cost of ACT membership?
PDA supports the core budget of ACT with a contribution of approximately $100,000. This total includes the ACT membership and participation fee plus a voluntary contribution to help ACT fulfill it ministry of emergency response. These funds are taken from PDA's portion of One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) funds that we budget for ecumenical support. PDA's average annual total for ecumenical support is approximately four percent.
In addition, when we support an ACT appeal for disaster response, we contribute a 3% international coordination fee to support the ACT Alliance expenses related to each specific disaster response. PDA uses OGHS funds to cover such costs as well, so that designated disaster response funds may be used solely for disaster response needs and all contributions by PDA to ACT Alliance operations are derived from our One Great Hour of Sharing offerings.
Do any funds designated for disaster response go to ACT?
When appropriate, PDA supports ACT appeals for specific disaster situations. In those cases, designated funds may be used to meet the needs of disaster-affected families for that situation. An example of this is the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti. A portion of the funds designated for Haiti were sent to support the work of ACT Alliance members in Haiti to respond with life-saving works. On the very day of the earthquake, January 12, 2010, nine ACT members were operating in Haiti and were able to begin relief efforts immediately. In the first month after the earthquake, the ACT Alliance reached more than 150,000 people with emergency relief supplies.
When an ACT appeal is issued, PDA has the right to indicate particular portions of the appeal where our funds will be used. An example is an appeal for flooding in Madagascar. PDA specified that its funds be used towards the portion of the appeal being provided by the Church of Jesus Christ in Madagascar, (FJKM), a PC(USA) mission partner.
"Are PC(USA) funds used to support ACT advocacy efforts?"
Yes. The ACT Alliance engages in the ministry of responding to emergencies, fostering development, and issues of food security, advocacy, development effectiveness, capacity development, quality and accountability, and human rights. As a member of the ACT Alliance, the PC(USA) works with ACT on these concerns especially as it relates to responding to disaster situations. PDA uses a small portion of the funds it receives from the One Great Hour of Sharing to support its partnership with the ACT Alliance.
Since the One Great Hour of Sharing offering is received "…in response to Christ's call to us to feed the hungry, house the homeless, minister to the suffering, and empower the poor and oppressed," using these funds in this manner is appropriate. Disaster response funds are used solely in response to disasters.
What mechanisms are in place to ensure that all funds from donors are used according to the donor's intended purpose?
PDA maintains detailed donor and accounting records to ensure that all funds are spent according to each donor request. The Advisory Committee of PDA reviews accounting reports at its semi-annual meetings to ensure that funds are spent according to specifics established for each appeal.

METAIRIE, La. — Saints punter Thomas Morstead and right guard Jahri Evans were both named to the Pro Bowl as New Orleans' representatives in the NFL all-star game.
For Morstead, though, it's a big day, one in which he finally earned recognition for his job. He's close to setting an NFL record for net punting yards. He's currently averaging 44.4 net yards per punt, a half-yard more than Andy Lee, who set the record in 2011.
The punter credited special teams coach Greg McMahon for pushing him to do try things "that maybe I didn't think I'd be able to do that we do now."
"I'm sure knowing him this isn't going to stop him or change his ways and we're going to continue to try to find better ways to be successful," Morstead said.
As for the nomination itself, he called it "pretty cool."
"It's something neat to share," Morstead said. "My fiancé is here. I get to share it with all my family. Hopefully I'll get to take my parents to Hawaii."
Evans earned his fourth-consecutive Pro Bowl berth. He's the second-most decorated offensive linemen in club history behind Willie Roaf, who was inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in July. The right guard has started all 111 games for the Saints.
But the biggest surprise might be that quarterback Drew Brees didn't earn a berth in spite of leading the NFL in touchdowns (39) and yards (4,781). He was passed over for Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan, Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers and Washington's Robert Griffin III.
For those pondering Griffin's bid, it would have been hard for him to be passed over by Brees. Griffin currently has the league's second-highest rating (104.1) and the fewest interceptions in the NFL (5). He's completing 66.4 percent of his passes, fifth-best in the NFL.
Additionally, tight end Jimmy Graham didn't earn a spot and neither did receiver Marques Colston.

Atlanta Falcons running back Michael Turner has 62 yards on 11 carries through two quarters of play against the Carolina Panthers. Turner also scored a first quarter touchdown that put Atlanta on the board for the first time in a must-win game against the Panthers.
Through five games, the Turner has has four touchdowns while carrying the ball 84 times for 360 yards. Atlanta has relied more heavily on the pass, to the detriment of Turner's production thus far.
Turner was the fourth-best running back play heading into the week, according to Yahoo!'s fantasy ranking. Against the Panthers defense, Turner was expected to have a breakout game in a matchup that looked to be a shootout on the surface.

Last time my wife and I visited Assaggi, it was winter, dark and calm. This time, the weather in the evening was glorious and the place was HEAVING; it was a challenge to hold a conversation. The bare walls did not help in that regard. The welcome was very warm and I found the over the top familiarity of the person who seemed to be in charge quite amusing – but had I been with people I knew less well, it would have been a different story. In fact, the service was good overall. The food merely correct. I had an enjoyable burratta wrapped with a slice of grilled aubergine – simple and almost impossible to get wrong. My main course was a pasta with crab meat and a side salad. Again, hard to fault but hardly a cullinary challenge. One of our party left half "her" liver, though my wife enjoyed her plain grilled sea bass – again, hardly a challenge (see a pattern emerging here ?). The first decent red on the menu was a Planeta at £38, which must be a heady mark-up… the whites are better value but in my view miss out on some of the better Italian choices (from the North of Italy). We had no desserts and only a couple of mint teas. We were in good company and had a fun evening once the place quietened down a little (in volume). We enjoyed the interaction with the servers but having thought about it quite hard, I am driven to the conclusion that the food was no better than a lot of other Italian restaurants offer (which is, of course good), but at £50 per head (one bottle of one of the house whites, no pre-dinner drinks or bottled water)… sorry, but something's lacking.

Over the past few decades, the availability and capability
of Off-Highway Vehicles (OHVs) has increased tremendously.
More Americans are enjoying access and recreational opportunities
on their national forests and grasslands, in keeping with
the Forest Service's multiple use mandate. However, the
increase in OHV use also affects soil, water, wildlife habitat,
and other recreational visitors. To properly manage the
effects of OHVs, the Forest Service announced a travel management
program that will consider proposed regulations governing
OHVs and other motor vehicle use on national forests and
grasslands. Forests Across New Mexico are in the process
of implementing the new Travel Management Rule. To find
out more about the rule, contact a National Forest Ranger District near you or visit

Injured Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose says he will not suit up against Miami on Wednesday and sounds like a player who just might miss the entire season.
Rose squashed rumors that he might make his long anticipated return from surgery on his left knee against LeBron James and the Heat with two words at the morning shootaround: "Not tonight." The comments came in the wake of a Twitter post by rapper Waka Flocka Flame, who wrote, "Word is D.Rose back."
Rose and the rapper are fans of each other, but the former MVP said he's not sure when he'll be back. He said his return is "in God's hands."
Dwyane Wade says he thinks he will be back in the lineup when the Heat try for their 28th consecutive victory Wednesday night.
Wade says he is feeling better after a sore right knee sidelined him for victories over Charlotte and Orlando. Coach Erik Spoelstra calls the All-Star guard a game-time decision, but notes he went through the morning shootaround.
Wade has appeared in 64 games this season and is second in scoring behind LeBron James, averaging 21.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game.
The Heat are on a 27-game win streak, trailing only the 33 straight by the Los Angeles Lakers in 1971-72.

The 2011 U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club from June 16-19 on Monday won't feature Arnold Palmer, but it will feature his grandson: Sam Saunders, a 23-year-old aspiring PGA Tour player, made the U.S. Open field by earning his spot at a sectional qualifier in Vero Beach, Florida.
Saunders shot a 69-72 to finish in the top three at Quail Valley Golf Club, and will be joining medalist Joey Lamielle and Michael Barbosa in Marlyand at Congressional after surviving a three-man playoff with Barbosa and Andres Escavarria for the final two qualifier slots.
Saunders, who played collegiate golf at Clemson, has played in just six events on the PGA Tour slate this year, and made just two cuts. But he finished tied for 15th at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am and tied for 30th, fittingly enough, at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
His 2011 U.S. Open start will be his first in one of golf's major championships. And while few expect him to contend for the title his grandfather won just once, 51 years ago, just being in the field at the annually brutal Open is an accomplishment in own right.

Ever since the explosion in West, East Texans have been reaching out to help.
"I just felt so helpless," Herrera said. "I felt bad for these people. I wanted to do something for them. When they said they weren't allowing anyone to go down to do rescue and help, I thought of the next best thing we could do: a helmet or boot drive."
The small idea for the Flint-Gresham department quickly became a county-wide effort.
"Of course, everybody immediately jumped onboard," said Flint-Gresham firefighter Nicholas Monk. "That's one of the things with firefighting, we're all brotherhood. We all wanted to help our fellow brothers and sisters in West."
Monk said the response was overwhelming.
"Most people were putting in a couple of dollars, whatever loose change they had," Monk said. "Several people emptied ash trays full of change. Then there were multiple people that stopped and asked what we were collecting for, then went to the ATM and came back with up to 200 dollars. Some people wrote personal checks for that amount. It was just amazing for us as firefighters to see that kind of support and backing from the communities that we serve."
Herrera sees it as lending a helping hand to her extended family.
"With fire departments, they are like family," Herrera says. "They are our brothers and our sisters. They are us. We are all the same. When some of them get hurt, we just want to help them. They would do the same for us."
Herrera along with representatives from each Smith County volunteer fire department plan on going to West on Saturday to present checks to the West Fire Department.
The departments are still accepting donations at fire houses across Smith County through Friday.

You've just been diagnosed with diabetes and you want to take proper care of yourself. After all, you know that if you control your blood glucose levels, you'll feel better and lessen your chances of developing complications. But there are two problems. The first is that you don't know enough about diabetes to ask the right questions. And the second? There's a chance your doctor doesn't know a lot about diabetes, either.
On the other hand, it's possible that your doctor didn't explain much when you were diagnosed because he knew that all you would hear that day was the word "diabetes," and wanted to give you some time to let the diagnosis sink in.
Short of completing a fellowship in endocrinology, how can you tell if your doctor knows enough about diabetes to give you the proper care? It's simple: Interview your current or potential doctor. Although taking care of your diabetes day-to-day will be primarily a do-it-yourself project, you'll need the proper knowledge and tools before you can manage the condition, and that calls for a team of experts to guide you along the road to maintaining good health.
Dr. Rhoda Cobin suggests beginning the interview with your doctor or prospective doctor with the open-ended question, "What's going on in my body?" Cobin, who is president of the American College of Endocrinologists, Clinical Professor of Medicine at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, and practices endocrinology in Ridgewood, New Jersey, says that that is the most important question you can ask.
That one question, Cobin says, can open up a dialogue between you and the doctor. It's a chance for the doctor to tell you about diabetes: how it begins, how it can affect the rest of your body, what needs to be done to manage it, and more. It can also lead to more questions and answers covering a variety of subjects related to diabetes and other health concerns.
It's also a chance to see if you and the doctor are able to communicate. The doctor needs to tailor his explanation to your needs, taking into account issues such as your age, motivation, education level, particular lifestyle issues, and coping style, Cobin says. If his answers don't seem to make sense, if you don't understand what the doctor is saying even after asking for clarification, or if the doctor doesn't seem to be paying attention to you, you might want to keep on looking.
Some specific questions to ask include the following:
"Where will you send me for diabetes education?"
While many endocrinologists offer diabetes education in-house, general practitioners frequently do not. Most will, however, have access to diabetes education centers through hospitals, pharmacies, or other health-care facilities. Private educators or education centers also are available throughout the United States. If you go to www.aadenet.org, the Web site for the American Association of Diabetes Educators, you can click on the "Find an Educator" button near the top of the page to search for one in your area. You can also search by state for diabetes education programs that are "Recognized by the American Diabetes Association" for meeting national standards of excellence at
www.diabetes.org/education/edustate2.asp. The cost of education is usually covered by your insurance and Medicare.
Why do you need diabetes education? Well, you didn't learn readin', writin', and 'rithmetic without a teacher, and you didn't learn to drive without a driving instructor. In the same way, it's difficult to learn to live the rest of your life with diabetes without education. Diabetes educators—a group that includes nurses, dietitians, social workers, pharmacists, podiatrists, physicians, exercise physiologists, and others—can help you form a management plan that fits your lifestyle and your needs.

So I want to touch on a familiar subject: Essentially operating a sports team with a net profit.
As sports fans, we all want to be owners. To have control, make decisions, and get to enjoy the on field results. I very much like Mark Cuban of the Dallas Mavericks, he seems to be a fan first and an owner second. Many owners are not like this at all however.
Let's get some things strait, major sports owners are billionaires, and they didn't get that way by owning a sports team. It is difficult to compare European football teams to American sports because of salary caps and luxury taxes, but there are some important things to consider.1. A sports franchise is a business and should be operated like so.
This is a stance that Arsenal takes very seriously, always trying to have a budget and operating with a profit. The businessman in me likes this at first, but then I get to thinking. I have to think about business all day at work, that's not the reason I follow sports. I follow sports to take my mind away from all of that day to day and have something to care about. To put this in perspective, two other teams I follow are the Portland Trailblazers of the NBA (whose owner, Paul Allen is one of the wealthiest owner in professional sports) and the New York Yankees of MLB ( whose owners, the Steinbrenner family also have money). Both of these teams have very loyal and large fan bases. The Yankees are quite successful because they spend money on the players they want. The blazers are not very successful, but it can never be said that Paul Allen doesn't do all he can to improve the team. Both of these teams routinely lose money from an operating standpoint.
Does this make the this make the games any less enjoyable? Not one bit. Why should I care that a Billionaire owner is making a profit on his sports franchise which represents about 1% of his business ventures? I really don't. If I am going to spend whatever obscene amount of $ on a ticket and a beer, i really don't want a sports owner telling me what a great, profitable year it has been. Sports success is measured on the field, not on the income statement.
2. Influx of new money is hurting the league and Euro football in general.
This is absolutely true. Chelski and Man City's spending does nothing good for the league, but its honestly not that different than the "big 4" dominating the league in years past. The Euro financial world is not set up for competitive balance, but that is the world that must be operated in.
This is not a call to go out and spend $100mil in the transfer market. Neither am I saying that the RVP situation or situations of the past should have had money thrown at them. The point of this is: Using the excuse of being a profitable club is a joke of an excuse for not making improvements when capable.
Arsenal are on of the 10 most valuable sports franchises in the world, one of the biggest clubs in the biggest city in Europe, with one of the largest followings around the world. Do you sleep better at night knowing the owner with a net worth of $3.2billion is not losing money?
Chelsea and Man City are criticized for being a rich man's play toy. What is so wrong with that? If I were a billionaire sports owner, I would do everything I could to make my team competitive. With Stan owner 4 other sports teams, perhaps he is a bit too stretched to give this team the attention and resources that it deserves.

Springfield, Mass. - January 21, 2012 - The Springfield College women's indoor track and field team finished fourth in a home meet featuring 10 teams in the Springfield College Field House on Saturday afternoon, tallying 68 points for the meet.
MIT won the event with 163 points total. Tufts was the runner-up with 89 points, followed by Wheaton (75), Springfield, and Keene State (47) to round out the top five.
Senior standout Kelly Curtis scored in multiple events for the Pride women, taking fourth place in the 60 meter hurdles and fourth in the long jump. Curtis ran a time of 9.47 seconds in the 60 meter hurdles and leapt 16'8" in the long jump to secure points for Springfield.
Laurie Jenkins was also a top scorer for Springfield, taking third place in the 60 meter dash with a time of 8.07 seconds, just one-hundredth of a second out of second place. Gabriella Gaudreault finished fifth in the 400 meter event at 1:01.31, Jenn Kapinos placed eighth in the 800 meter in 1:44.49, and Nora Letendre grabbed fourth place in the 5000 meter event in 19:53.71.
The Pride also fared well in the relay events, taking second in both the 4x200 meter and 4x400 meter relays and fourth in the 4x800 meter event. In the 4x200, the foursome of Crystal Davis, Elizabeth Saia, Gaudreault, and Jenkins posted a time of 1:47.51 to finish just .4 seconds out of first.
