Financing of Fresh Water for All : A rights Based Approach
AbstractOver the past two decades a number of international declarations have sought to ensure access t o safe water and sanitation with environmental sustainability. A range of criteria and financing mechanisms have been proposed for the mobilisation and allocation of financial resources. Yet millions of people do not have access to basic levels of service and there are concerns about water scarcity and environmental degradation impacting on fresh water resources. There is increasing competition between agriculture, industry and domestic sectors for fresh water which is a finite resources in a given environment. The global fresh water crisis is in fact a local level crisis - in time (at particular periods during the year) and in space (particular locations) - which already exists. This paper argues that the international declarations on human and child rights provide the political, moral, ethical and legal imperative for ensuring that the fundamental right to water is met. Adopting a rights-based approach, it is argued, is consistent and compatible with economic efficiency. Indeed, such an approach is both efficient and equitable.

'Lost' - 'Dr. Linus' Recap
by Jason Hughes, posted Mar 10th 2010 4:07AM
(S06E07) Benjamin Linus is one of the most fascinating characters ever put to screen, played with devilish brilliance by Michael Emerson. He positively dominates every scene he's in with those intense, thoughtful and incredibly dangerous big eyes of his. This week, we got to see quite literally two sides of Ben Linus.
Considering that virtually Ben's entire life happened on the island in the alpha-verse, I had been intrigued as to what beta-Ben would be like ever since his first appearance in 'The Substitute' three weeks ago. As I anticipated, our flash-sideways picks up events somewhat shortly after Locke's story.
It also features Locke, as well as a few other familiar faces in new and intriguing roles. At this point, I think I could watch an entire series set in the beta-verse just to see all these people's lives interconnect. It's truly fascinating stuff.

Senate agree US debt bill
The US Senate has passed a bill to raise the debt ceiling and avoid a potential default. It will now be sent to the House of Representatives for a final vote. President Obama has said he will sign the bill "immediately" after the House vote.
'Tremendous progress' towards US debt limit
US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said there has been "tremendous progress" towards the debt limit and a government funding deal.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell echoed this progress, but Reid made it clear they "are not there yet".
US hopes for debt ceiling deal as deadline looms
Hopes for heading off a default and ending a US federal government shutdown grew today after encouraging comments from the congressional leaders at the centre of the discussions.
The stock market turned positive on the optimistic predictions of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for the Democrats and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell for the Republicans.
President Barack Obama postponed a meeting with the congressional leaders planned for today to allow their discussions to continue uninterrupted.
ITV News economics editor Richard Edgar reports:
Read our Q&A on the US debt ceiling here
US debt deal 'would be a ceasefire not a peace treaty'by Robert Moore - Washington Correspondent
As we enter the third week of this budget crisis, there are some pretty encouraging signs that a deal may be struck that would both reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling - but what a tortuous process this has been.
Congressional leaders were expected to meet the President just a couple of hours ago and that meeting has been postponed indefinitely.
Even if a deal is struck, we're only talking about a temporary deal here, about the government being open for another three month and for the debt ceiling to be raised for another four months while more longer-term negotiations go on.
We're talking a ceasefire here not a peace treaty.
Key terms of the US debt crisis
As US politicians race to raise the country's debt ceiling before Thursday's deadline, here is a glossary of some key terms of the debt crisis:
- Debt ceiling: The limit on the amount that the US government can borrow. This is set by Congress and is currently $16.7 trillion
- Congress: The US legislative body responsible for setting the debt ceiling. It consists of two parts - the Senate and House of Representatives
- Default: This is when a borrower cannot repay a debt on time. In the case of a country, like the US, this is called "sovereign default"
- Bond: Bonds are an IOU issued by government in order to raise money. They are usually - and especially in the case of US Treasury bonds - seen as a safe investment
- Yield: The amount of return (or interest) that the government pays to a bondholder. This is tied to the value of the bond, which is linked to the likelihood of the issuing country repaying
Obama postpones meeting with leaders on debt ceiling
US President Barack Obama's meeting with congressional leaders set for later today has been postponed, the White House said.
A White House spokesperson said the meeting has been postponed to allow Senate leaders to "continue making important progress" towards a solution on the debt ceiling and reopening the government.
Obama to meet leaders as debt ceiling deadline looms
US President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will hold talks with congressional leaders later today in a bid to avert a looming default as Thursday's deadline draws closer.
President Obama said during a visit: "My hope is that a spirit of cooperation will move us forward in the next few hours."
The Treasury Department says it cannot guarantee that the US government will be able to pay its bills past Thursday if Congress does not raise the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling by then.

Salt Lake City, ...
One of two skirts finished for a sewalong I held via my blog. I do believe this is my favorite of the two. It's made from one of the latest Colette Patterns – Ginger – and was done up in 4 ply silk – a first time use for me. I incorporated a boned waistband and drafted my own pocket which I applied to the skirt by hand. The skirt really turned out lovely and I'm so excited to wear it again and again. So easy to wear too!

Very pretty! Love it!
Jun 2, 2011, 08.41 PMby turtlegirl00
what a great color and shape! great job! Is boning difficult?
Jun 3, 2011, 01.52 AMby sunnilj9
No, it's actually not. It is time consuming though. It made this project take on a longer life. I followed Gertie's tutorial via Gertie's Blog for Better Sewing. Boning the waistband is seriously a revelation. I'm one of those that ends up tugging my skirts down alot because they end up hiking up to my ribs. Boning the waistband keeps the waistband put. It's SPECTACULAR! Totally recommend.

Just love your version of the Ginger skirt. It's a pattern I've been wanting to try myself.

Berona's War Volume 2: Fight for Amityby Anthony Coffey
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
You've met the characters, you've seen their weapons, you've witnessed their war. And now, you can know their stories. Berona's War II: The Fight for Amity brings to life the blood-hungry warriors and races of Berona and takes you deep within their individual tales. Follow the soldier as he enters his final battle. Witness the elite teams at work behind the scenes. Learn the savage ways of the Condyle warriors, and the vicious speed of the Ele-Alta Slayers. Watch as the brave struggle for glory, obtain it, then live to see it stripped from them. Will it be a glorious death, or will it be the death of a coward? The battles have just begun to rage, and the War has so much left to claim. Featuring new artwork and concepts from creators Jesse Labbe and Anthony Coffey, Fight for Amity continues the life-or-death struggle of the inventive and industrious Ele-Alta against the lithe and intelligent Cropones.
About the Author
Anthony Coffey was born in Odessa, Texas with a pencil in his hand and a song in his heart. This song is now the great Ele-Alta National Anthem. His utter disdain for the Croponites has led him to sign up for enlistment. He has aspirations of becoming one of the great Ele-Alta assassins, but will probably end up being a soil relocation engineer.

Pair who sold illegal slimming drugs jailed for 18 months
Two former employees of Dartford health clinic who illegally sold slimming drugs to people across the UK have each been sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Lisa Casey, 52 and Tracey Walsh, 50 appeared at Maidstone Crown Court yesterday.
The pair pleaded guilty to four offences of possession with intent to supply class C controlled prescription drugs.
When the two women left the slimming clinic in Dartford in July 2012, they contacted the drug manufacturers who supplied the clinic and sent them forged prescription orders.
They sold them to customers throughout the UK and Ireland without any medical supervision and against government regulations.
Detectives found they had obtained 110,000 appetite suppressant tablets over a period of 10 months before police intervention stopped their illegal £100,000 operation.

The Navy conducted an anti-terrorism drill at Naval Air Station Fallon Tuesday to test its response to multiple terrorist attacks. The drill, titled "Solid Curtain – Citadel Shield" included a simulated active shooter, a simulated suicide bomber at an evacuation site, and finally a simulated sniper who attacked the emergency command center.
Navy Commander Eugene Woodruff said drills like this make first responders better. "Today what you saw was the NAS Fallon contribution to Citadel Shield. it's a Navy-wide exercise to test our anti-terror and force protection procedures-- which is really controlling a crime scene, stopping the spread of the crime spree and saving lives that have been threatened that day," Woodruff explained.
The scenario was similar to the Navy Yard shootings because the bad guys were members of the military and had access to the base. Woodruff said the exercise was designed to be overwhelming. "We don't exercise to make ourselves look good," he said. "We exercise to the point of failure so we can see where we fail in our response and put processes in place and resources—so if it every happens we can handle that level of adversary," said Woodruff.
The drill was designed to simulate actual attacks similar to Sandy Hook in Newtown, Connecticut, the shootings at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. and the bombings at the Boston Marathon. It also tests how Navy security forces respond, and how they work with other agencies in northern Nevada. The Fallon Police Department and Churchill County Sheriff's Office also participated. Drama students from Churchill County High School played the victims.
Following the drill, the agencies will debrief the exercise, to see what went right, and what improvements they need to make for the future.

An FFC Review of Kim Beyong-seo and Jo Eui-Seok's South Korean thriller "Cold Eyes."
An FFC looks at the horrible situation in Ferguson, MO and what it says about where we are and where we're going.
Much progress has been made in representing African-American life onscreen, but there's a long way to go.
An updated list of the theatrical venues and VOD platforms currently screening "Life Itself."
There is another Robin Williams, a lonely recluse hiding inside the extrovert. Williams is able to channel this furtive, secretive persona for roles that are far removed from Mork, Mrs. Doubtfire and Aladdin's Genie. As early as "Seize the Day" (1986), a little-seen adaptation of Saul Bellow's novel about a man who loses everything of importance, Williams was accepting roles in which he would be inward, withdrawn, obsessive, peculiar.
Consider his work in "The Secret Agent" (1996), as a man who prowls Edwardian London with explosives strapped to his body; "One Hour Photo" (2002), where he plays a loner who lives vicariously through the photographs he develops, and "Insomnia" (2002), where he plays a killer who forgives himself because, well, these things happen.
Williams brings this oddball outsider to a kind of perfection in Omar Naim's "The Final Cut," a moody science fiction drama. He plays a Cutter, a man who edits memories. In an unspecified time that looks like the present, it is possible to acquire Zoe implants -- chips in the brain that record everything you see, hear and say. After your death, a Cutter can edit highlights of your memories into a two-hour video called a Rememory, for your friends and family to watch.
Of course a Cutter sees everything. He knows every secret, witnesses every sin, observes every lie. But a good Cutter, like a good mortician, puts the best possible face on things. Alan Hakman, Williams' character, is the best: "The dead mean nothing to me," he says. "I took this job out of respect for the living." A rival Cutter puts it more clearly: "If you can't bear to look at it, he will." And another says: "He's first on the list for Cutting scum-bags and lowlifes." He is, they say behind his back, a Sin Eater.
He lives alone, spending most of his time in a room with his Cutting machines. A woman friend despairs of tearing him away from his work, and says, "You're like a magician -- or a priest -- or a taxidermist." He is especially like a taxidermist, removing the rotting parts hidden inside his subjects while preserving the external covering in its ideal form. What does he think about the horrors he witnesses, the terrible things he edits from his Rememories? We don't know. We don't even know if he enjoys his voyeurism.
He looks sad and weary much of the time, like the angels in "Wings of Desire," who also see and know all. They pity and envy their humans -- pity them for the frailties, and envy them because they live in time, not eternity. It is impossible to say how Alan feels. Certainly he has no life of his own, apart from his job, which consists of Rememories of other lives. I was reminded of the documentary "Cinemania," about five or six people who plan their days in order to spend every waking moment watching a movie. Their entire lives, and Alan's, are vicarious.
There is a thriller plot of sorts, which doesn't add much to the movie, since Alan's peculiar relationship to his job is at the heart of everything. A rich, evil man, probably a child abuser, has died and his wealthy widow (Stephanie Romanov) hires Hakman to create a Rememory of her husband. She knows, or suspects, Zoe may have recorded images of their daughter being molested. She knows Hakman (what a precise name) can be trusted.
Jim Caviezel plays the leader of a group opposed to Rememories. Their slogan: "Remember for yourself!" Characters argue against the Zoe implant because of its inhibiting influence on human lives: If you know everything you do is being recorded, or if you suspect you are with a person with a Zoe implant, can you behave naturally? In Catholic school we learned that God was always watching us, but God forgave and didn't maintain digital files.
The movie is bookended with the story of a childhood tragedy that may have twisted Alan into the Cutter he is today. The tragedy is well handled, but its aftermath in his adult life seems unfinished and unsatisfying. Indeed, the movie never really finds its way out of the dilemmas it has created. But Robin Williams stands apart from the problems of "The Final Cut," just as he stands apart from the other characters. It's been said that inside every comedian is a sad man refusing to weep. Williams has extraordinary success in channeling this other person. How strange that the same actor can play some of the most uninhibited of all characters, and some of the most morose.

First World War charity concert hits right note (From Basingstoke Gazette)
When news happens, text BAZ and your photos or videos to 80360. Or contact us by email and phone.
Concert held at Testbourne Community School
3:00pm Sunday 4th May 2014 in News By Jessica Bave, Reporter
A CHARITY concert, held to commemorate the centenary of the start of the First World War, was a great success.
The concert, which was held at Testbourne Community School, in Micheldever Road, Whitchurch, was organised by Rosemary Crumplin, Mayor Councillor John Clark's partner, and raised £3,000 for youth projects in the town.
Music on the night was provided by the Military Wives, from Middle Wallop, and Testbourne Community School's choir Bella Voce, with both choirs performing to an audience of 250 people.
In his monthly report to Whitchurch Town Council, Cllr Clark said: "Thank you all so very much for helping Rosemary to realise her vision.
"Each choir sang separately but came together for a rousing finale of wartime songs, and their performances were just fantastic."
He added: "In addition, our thanks cannot express our gratitude for the support from Testbourne Community School including their young technicians, various members of staff within the performing arts department, the caretaker and others.
"Also, sincere thanks go to all other helpers who managed the car-parking, raffle, refreshments, doors and much more.
"Last but not least, a huge thank-you to all the local businesses who supported us either financially or donated a raffle prize to help us reach our goal."

TEAMS: Boston Celtics, Oklahoma City Thunder
Unable to truly grab traction at the start of the 2012-13 campaign, the Boston Celtics will get an early-season test against the reigning Western Conference champion, the Oklahoma City Thunder, on Friday. Although the veterans of Beantown have lost a handful of games they probably shouldn't have, they aren't ruled out as contenders on the NBA futures. With 25-1 odds of winning the NBA championship, and one of the most dominant young guards on the planet in Rajon Rondo, the C's have more than enough opportunity to turn things around. All they have to do is get to work. Given the relative uncertainty of the Atlantic Division, Boston's missteps thus far in November haven't set them so far back that they'll be playing catchup to claw their way back into the win column. In fact, mild concerns aside, the Celtics are still a plus-.500 team. With OKC on the slate for Friday night, though, and more to come as the season drags on, the C's will be hard pressed to breeze through the schedule as...

- $20.00
- Our Price:
Born at a Mardi Gras party in Portland, Oregon, MarchFourth Marching Band has become one of the nation's best live touring acts -- and you can catch them outdoors on Pier 15 backed by beautiful waterfront views. More than just a concert, a MarchFourth show is a celebration, with stilt-walkers, unicyclists, fire eaters, puppets, flag twirlers, clown antics, acrobatics and more, accompanied by an eclectic big band in marching band costumes. Anchored by funky electric bass and featuring a 12-piece horn section and a 10-piece drum/percussion corps, MarchFourth takes you on a journey from the swamps of Louisiana to the gypsy camps of Eastern Europe to the African jungle by way of Brazil, while honoring the musical traditions of American funk, rock and jazz. Opening for MarchFourth is Brother Joscephus and the Love Revolution, a foot-stompin' gumbo of roots rock, old-school soul and New Orleans rhythms. Learn More

Abit more classical dance than I prefer, but, esp the MEN STORIES piece was good. A good night out at a great price!

Lar Lubovitch is a modern dance company . The program I saw was mostly Russian and Eastern European composers, and Lubovitch's light fluid choreography perfectly suited the music. It is easy to see how he is a choreographer for ice dancing.

Dancers were amazing and each piece was very different from the previous.
Lar Lubovitch Dance Company celebrates its 40th Anniversary Season with four performances at City Center. Lubovitch is renowned for his ballets for ABT and San Francisco Ballet and Tony-nominated for his work on the Broadway productions of Into the Woods, The Red Shoes and the recent revival of The King and I. He is known for his extraordinary musicality of his dances. This celebratory season features premieres of new dances as well as revivals of several of his master works.

Hamlet 2 Hamlet 2 - I anastasi Perdendo a Noção Rock Me Hamlet
Dana Marschz is a failed actor and recovering alcoholic who's moved to Tucson to teach high school drama, where he's plagued by bad reviews, student indifference, budget woes (he and his wife, who is trying to get pregnant, take in a boarder), and his own teaching limitations. Because the other electives are closed, he finds himself with a large class of seeming gang-bangers, and the principal informs him that drama will be cut next trimester. On the advice of a student reviewer, Dana decides to stage his own play, a sequel to "Hamlet" in which the prince and Jesus, with the use of a time machine, try to save Gertrude and Ophelia. Can Dana for once pull something off?

Convenient location and easy off highway. Appreciated 11 AM check-in. BEAUTIFUL hotel; very clean, staff courteous and helpful. Excellent value for price. Breakfast in hotel convenient. My sons loved pool and visited pool twice during our 1 night stay.
For our quick stay, would have been more convenient to have restaurant open for dinner in addition to breakfast. Accordingly, snacks in pantry were quite expensive (e.g., $2 for small pack of 4 cookies),$1.50 for soda. No complimentary offers (exc coffee)Beautiful hotel in beautiful, upscale town.

The beds were comfortable.
Our bathroom was being leaked in to from the room above us and the manager on duty did nothing about it. He said he looked at it and didn't see the leak. The leak was so bad I was woken from my sleep from the sounds of the water dripping into my tub. It has been pooling in the drop dropped ceiling and there was clear and obvious water damage. How he missed this is beyond me. It's clear he didn't even look. Additionally, there was no high chair in the breakfast room. My wife asked for the high chair and they said sorry, we have it to the other group but they can't seem to find it. This was a 20 second exchange. Basically the hotel worker wanted us to go to the other party it look for the chair ourselves. The price was nice... But you get what you pay for. In this case it meant leaky bathrooms and poor service.

The quiet surroundings and the rural environment have much appeal. The hotel was quite, and peaceful, and a pleasant get away from the city.
The hotel is 20-30 minute drive from downtown Hartford. If you are traveling to Hartford for business, a rental car is mandatory if you choose to stay at this hotel, and you need to schedule commute time into your plans.I would stay here again despite the somewhat remote location with respect to downtown Hartford. Its a bit of a drive, but once you arrive at the hotel, the fatigue of the city fades quickly, and it feels similar to home.

Letter: Adoption is best choice
Linda Hyde, Rosemark
Your Jan. 21 article "Battle continues / Unborn babies' civil rights abused, speaker declares" was accompanied by a photo of a couple and their newly adopted baby, yet it mentioned nothing about adoption. Adoption is by far the best alternative for so many unwanted pregnancies.
Cherisse Scott, founder and CEO of SisterReach, won't you study the issue objectively? Laying aside the volatile issue of ethics (which cannot be done without serious consequences), undergoing an abortion is incredibly injurious emotionally to many women; parenting a baby under circumstances of fatherlessness and poverty is tragically burdensome to the parent (usually the mother) and to the child — and yet, placing for adoption is viewed with abhorrence.
The adoption community is filled with birth parents who make heart-rending choices for the greatest welfare of their child, and adoptive parents who are more educated and dedicated to parenting than many of us who give birth naturally. Increasingly, the trend is toward open adoption, blessing the life of the child with a growing circle of people who care for him or her. Being raised by a committed mother and father, with a strong supporting cast, gives a child more than a fighting chance.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSSettlement Involving Alpha Natural Resources Totals $27.5 Million
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Mar. 5, 2014 2:22 PM EST
Updated: Mar. 5, 2014 6:26 PM EST
WASHINGTON (AP, Jeff Morris) -- One of the nation's largest coal producers will pay a $27.5 million fine and is set to spend $200 million to reduce illegal toxic discharges into waterways across five Appalachian states.
The proposed settlement is the largest ever of its kind.
The Associated Press obtained details before the settlement involving Alpha Natural Resources Inc. was filed in court in West Virginia.
The government said the company and its subsidiaries violated water pollution limits in state-issued permits more than 6,000 times between 2006 and 2013.
The government said they discharged heavy metals harmful to fish and other wildlife directly into rivers and streams.
The companies agreed to take measures to reduce discharges from 79 active coal mines and 25 processing plants in Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
In a news release, the company said it has entered into a consent decree with the U.S. Environmnental Protection Agency.
Alpha said the consent decree resolves a complaint by the EPA and state agencies alleging that the company's mining affiliates in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia exceeded certain water discharge permit limits. The complaint did not allege that the exceedances posed a risk to human health.
As part of the consent decree, Alpha said, it agreed to implement an integrated environmental management system and an expanded auditing/reporting protocol, that selenium and osmotic pressure treatment facilities will be installed at specific locations, and certain other measures.
The company said the consent decree also stipulates that Alpha will pay $27.5 million in civil penalties, to be divided among the federal government and state agencies.
"This consent decree provides a framework for our efforts to become fully compliant with our environmental permits, specifically under the Clean Water Act," said Alpha Senior Vice President of Environmental Affairs Gene Kitts. "Our combined total water quality compliance rate for 2013 was 99.8 percent. That's a strong record of compliance, particularly considering it's based on more than 665,000 chances to miss a daily or monthly average limit. But our goal is to do even better, and the consent decree provides an opportunity to proactively focus on improving on the less than 1 percent of the time that permit limits were exceeded."
To that end, Kitts said, that many of the consent decree measures were put in place ahead of reaching the agreement. For example, the company has already expanded its audit program and the enhanced environmental database was launched across the organization in January 2013.
The consent decree covers the years 2006 to 2013. Since 2006, Alpha has twice doubled in size by merging with or acquiring other public mining companies, and its affiliates have amassed more than 700 state water discharge permits covering 5,000 discharge points.
"For an organization our size and with as varied a group of mining operations and permit conditions as we have, our people do an outstanding job in maintaining environmental compliance," Kitts said. "This settlement will provide a consistent structure to our efforts to become even better in preventing incidents and in responding quickly to situations where permit limits are exceeded."
Kitts said incidents in West Virginia and North Carolina have focused attention on the importance of protecting the nation's water.
"The public expects that regulators ensure that water quality is protected and that companies comply with their permits," Kitts said. "That's the way it should be. We respect and support that, and understand the concerns that these events have raised, yet there are distinct differences between those events and what we're talking about here."
Kitts said there was no release of a chemical or impact to public drinking water – as happened with the Charleston incident. Alpha's consent decree is related primarily to naturally occurring elements, such as iron, manganese, aluminum, and selenium. Mining operations require the movement of large amounts of earth that contain these elements. Permit limits are sometimes exceeded when rainwater or groundwater transport the elements into an operation's water discharge during mining operations. Water discharge limitations are generally set at levels that are protective of aquatic life, which most often are more stringent than levels necessary to be protective of human health, the company said.

President Bollinger has announced Columbia University's newest Gender-Based Misconduct Policy for Students, which can be found here. We'll try to break down his email, which mostly mimics what was sent out a few days ago by deans, below:
- Goals of the policy: "to strengthen confidence in the University's handling of reports of sexual assault and other gender-based misconduct, to ensure fairness for all parties involved, and to provide more assistance to students in need."
- Improving key personnel: students will no longer serve on hearing panels, and advisors or attorneys may now accompany students to any meetings or hearings related to investigations.
- Navigation: Case managers will guide students (both "complainants" and "respondents") through the process, and help with living arrangements.
- Logistics: They've added six new staff members to the Office of Sexual Violence Response and will open a new Rape Crisis Center location on the seventh floor of Lerner. Undergraduate orientation training has been "expanded." PrezBo reminds us that Suzanne Goldberg is his new "special advisor."
- Pats on the back: "Today's new policy is one among many reforms we have initiated to try to deal with what is most certainly a national issue."
Yes, this is a national issue, and this is a new policy, but much of it is the same. Appeals (page 17-18) will continue to be made to the dean of the respondent's school, and the timeframe for resolving reports is still 60 days, yet there is no check placed on this (page 12). We'll be looking into the more minute differences between the new policy and the old policy (as updated in August 2013), and will update accordingly.
Update (11:20 am): The introduction from DSpar's email to Barnard is also included below.
Update (11:35 am): See a statement from several student groups, calling it "misrepresentative for Columbia to characterize these reforms as a response to student concerns," below. The letter expresses disappointment that the Executive Vice President of Student Affairs did not get to oversee the process, and that student input was not considered. It continues: "The policy does not guarantee accommodations like housing and academic changes for survivors, it does not establish clear or useful sanctioning guidelines, it does not sufficiently improve the training for staff members who interact with survivors, and it leaves the appeals process in the hands of Deans with no expertise, inadequate training, and a clear bias."

Prevent Kidney Disease
Learn more to reduce your risk of kidney disease and take the pledge to #preventkidneydisease.
More people are overweight today than ever before. In fact, almost 70 percent of Americans aged 20 and older are overweight. And of those, about one third are considered obese. Unfortunately, the problem has become much more common in children, too. Surprisingly, 17 percent of children aged 6-19 are obese, and 10 percent of children aged 2-5.
Being overweight or obese are both terms for having more body fat than what is considered healthy. Both are used to identify people who are at risk for health problems from having too much body fat. However, the term "obese" generally means a much higher amount of body fat than "overweight."
Everyone needs some body fat for energy, heat insulation, and other body functions. But having too much can lead to serious health problems. The more body fat you have, the greater your risk for diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, and other problems.
The most common way is to figure out your body mass index (BMI). BMI is a quick and simple way to help identify people who are overweight or obese. It allows you to compare your weight to what is considered "normal" for an adult with your same height.
In adults:
In children and teens:
Yes. If your excess weight is mostly around your middle (apple shape), you are more likely to develop health problems than if the weight is around your hips (pear shape). The greater your waist size, the greater your health risk. To learn more, ask your healthcare provider to measure your waist.
Being overweight or obese can cause serious health problems, including:
Yes. If you are overweight or obese, you have a greater chance of developing diabetes or high blood pressure, which are the leading causes of kidney disease and kidney failure.
People become overweight or obese from eating more calories than they burn up. Some things that may lead to this imbalance include:
Yes. Experts agree that even a modest weight loss can help prevent or control many health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. The closer you are to a normal weight, the greater the health benefit.
Speak to your doctor about a weight loss program that is right for you. New research shows that a weight loss program should include three components to be successful — diet, exercise, and behavior modification. Your program may include:
