Now that we have the ability to peer into forests around the globe, a number of telling stories are beginning to emerge. Learn more about how you can make your own map, here. Read more 2 Things You Need to Know about Indonesia's Forest Moratoriumby Ariana Alisjahbana and Kemen Austin - January 30, 2014 Indonesia's forest moratorium, a policy aiming to protect an area the size of Japan from development, represents one of the most ambitious conservation schemes ever established in the country. But is it actually making progress in improving the forest sector? WRI's new working paper, Indonesia's Forest Moratorium: Impacts and Next Steps, aims to answer that question and more. Read more What Does it Take for Successful Forest Landscape Restoration?by Craig Hanson and Stewart Maginnis - December 12, 2013 This week in Washington, D.C., members of the Global Partnership on Forest Landscape Restoration (GPFLR) met to advance strategies to restore degraded forest landscapes around the world. Such restoration has the potential to bring millions of hectares of land back to life—a move that could help protect watersheds, ensure food security, improve the livelihoods of rural communities, tackle climate change, and conserve biodiversity. Read more Learning from African Farmers: How "Re-greening" Boosts Food Security; Curbs Climate Changeby Chris Reij - June 27, 2013 President Obama is in Africa this week to discuss development, investment, health, and, notably, food security. The trip comes on the heels of the president's groundbreaking announcement of a U.S. Climate Action Plan. So it's a fitting time for Obama and other global leaders to take notice of a strategy that addresses both climate change and food security in Africa—re-greening. Re-greening—a process where African farmers manage and protect trees that grow on their farms, rather than cutting them down—is already beginning to transform the continent's drylands. Supporting and scaling up the low-tech process can not only increase crop yields in drought-prone regions, it can mitigate climate change and reduce rural poverty. The History of Re-greening in Africa's Drylands Re-greening in Africa first garnered international attention back in 2007, when the New York Times published a front page article entitled "In Niger, Trees and Crops Help Turn Back the Desert." Lydia Polgreen, who was the NYT's West Africa bureau chief in those days, had visited Niger and reported "at least 7.4 million newly tree-covered acres." The NYT article revealed that this large-scale re-greening was not due to expensive tree-planting projects, but was the result of farmers protecting and managing young trees that regenerated on their cultivated land. This re-greening did not happen everywhere. It was observed in particular in dryland regions with high population densities. Life in dryland areas presents many challenges, and farmers and decision makers are continuously searching for ways to restore their resilience and agricultural productivity. Read more Data Terbaru Menunjukkan Kebakaran Hutan di Indonesia Adalah Krisis Yang Telah Berlangsung Sejak Lamaby Nigel Sizer, Kemen Austin and Ariana Alisjahbana - June 26, 2013 Selama beberapa hari terakhir ini, WRI telah melacak lokasi peringatan titik api yang terjadi di Sumatera. Dalam perkembangan terbaru ini, WRI menganalisis tren historis kebakaran hutan yang terjadi di Sumatera. Baca analisa sebelumnya. Read this post in English here Kebakaran terus terjadi di Indonesia, menyebarkan kabut asap yang menyiksa ke penjuru negeri dan juga Singapura serta Malaysia. Hasil riset terbaru dari World Resources Institute menunjukkan tren yang mengkhawatirkan terkait fenomena kebakaran hutan ini: Kebakaran yang terjadi saat ini tidak melampaui batas normal tren historis kebakaran hutan yang terjadi di wilayah Indonesia, namun hal ini mungkin berubah jika kobaran api terus membesar. Kebakaran saat ini adalah bagian dari krisis endemik kebakaran hutan, lahan dan pembersihan lahan yang telah berlangsung sejak lama di Indonesia. Aksi nyata dan tegas jelas dibutuhkan untuk mencegah memburuknya krisis ini. Read more New Data Shows Indonesian Forest Fires a Longstanding Crisisby Nigel Sizer, Kemen Austin, Ariana Alisjahbana, Fred Stolle and James Anderson - June 25, 2013 Over the past few days, WRI has been tracking the location of forest and land fires on Sumatra, an island in western Indonesia. In this update, WRI examines the historical trends of forest fires in Sumatra. Read our previous analysis. Bacalah posting blog dalam Bahasa Indonesia di sini Fires continue to burn in Indonesia, spreading haze and suffering across the country and into Malaysia and Singapore. New research from the World Resources Institute reveals troubling trends about the blazes: The current fires are not beyond the normal historic range for fires in the region, but that may change as the fires continue to burn heavily. The recent fires are part of a longstanding, endemic crisis of forest fires and land clearing in Indonesia, and bold action is needed to prevent the crisis from escalating. In this new analysis, WRI examines the historical trends of forest fires in Sumatra. Rapid analysis from WRI finds that the current forest fires observed in the Riau Province fit into a larger pattern of widespread forest and land fires. However, June 2013 is on track to be one of the worst months on record since 2001. Evaluation of recent wind patterns explains why the fires' impact was felt so acutely in Singapore. WRI explored these trends using two key data sets: Historic fire alerts from NASA's Active Fire Data, which shows fire alerts for the period of January 1, 2001 until the present. Information on air dispersion to Singapore derived from NOAA's HYSPLIT model, which takes into account meteorological data and can be used to estimate the most likely path that air traveled to reach a particular location at a given time. Read more 3 Ways to Achieve Zero Tropical Deforestation by 2020by Ariana Alisjahbana - June 25, 2013 This post was co-authored with Carita Chan, an intern with WRI's forests initiative. As the crisis of tropical deforestation reaches a new level of urgency due to forest fires raging in Indonesia, an important question is how can the world satisfy the growing demand for forest products while still preserving forest ecosystems? This week, some of the world's largest companies will join U.S. and Indonesian government officials in Jakarta at the Tropical Forest Alliance 2020 (TFA 2020) meeting to discuss this issue. The meeting comes three years after the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF), a group of the world's 400 largest consumer goods companies from 70 countries, announced their commitment to source only deforestation-free commodities in their supply chains and help achieve net-zero deforestation by 2020. The TFA 2020, a public-private partnership established in 2012 at the Rio+20 Summit, aims to provide concrete guidance on how to implement the forum's pledge. Read more WRI Releases Updated Data on the Fires in Indonesia by Nigel Sizer, Fred Stolle, Susan Minnemeyer, James Anderson, Ariana Alisjahbana, Andika Putraditama and Lisa Johnston - June 24, 2013 Bacalah posting blog dalam Bahasa Indonesia di sini Last Friday, the World Resources Institute (WRI) published detailed data on the location of forest and land fires on Sumatra, which have spread a noxious and harmful haze across Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, and caused widespread public concern. Governments from all three nations, many companies, and news outlets are seeking data to help understand the origin and spread of the fires, and determine who should be held accountable. Read WRI's "Peering Through the Haze: What Data Can Tell Us About the Fires in Indonesia" WRI now has an updated assessment of fire alerts in Sumatra, showing the progression of alerts through time and location in relation to company concessions. The new analysis incorporates two important data updates: New fire alerts from NASA's Active Fire Data, which shows the most recent fire alerts for the period of June 20-23 (previous analysis was for June 12-20). More recent concession and land use maps from the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry, dated 2013. Read more Mengintip diantara kabut: Bagaimana data dapat membantu kita menyelidiki kebakaran di Indonesiaby Fred Stolle, Susan Minnemeyer and Nigel Sizer - June 21, 2013 WRI telah memperbarui data terkait kebakaran hutan di Indonesia. Baca artikelnya di sini. Cecelia Song, Andika Putraditama, Andrew Leach, Ariana Alisjahbana, Lisa Johnston, Jessica Darmawan, James Anderson dan ahli-ahli lainnya di WRI juga berkontribusi dalam artikel ini. Read this story in English here Penduduk di,Singapura, sebagian dari Indonesia dan Malaysia sedang mengalami kabut asap yang menganggu aktivitas sehari-hari akibat kebakaran hutan. Tingkat kualitas udara di Singapura telah jatuh ke tingkat terburuk yang pernah tercatat di pulau tersebut sedangkan bandara di Indonesia dan beberapa sekolah di Malaysia harus ditutup. Hampir semua kebakaran yang terjadi baru-baru ini (12-20 Juni) berasal dari titik api di Sumatera. Media massa banyak memuat debat sengit mengenai lokasi, sebab, dan sifat kebakaran. Saat ini WRI telah menyusun beberapa data awal yang menunjukkan beberapa pola menarik. Data awal menunjukkan kebakaran yang terjadi relatif sedikit di kawasan lindung dan konsesi penebangan. Lebih dari setengah dari peringatan titik api yang ditemukan terjadi pada hutan tanaman industri dan perkebunan kelapa sawit. Meskipun membakar hutan bagi perusahaan di Indonesia merupakan perbuatan ilegal, perusahaan di masa lalu telah diketahui menggunakan api untuk pembukaan lahan. Hal ini akan menjadi penting untuk mengumpulkan informasi lebih lanjut mengenai lokasi kebakaran dan penyebabnya. Informasi ini dapat memberi implikasi penting bagi perusahaan-perusahaan dan badan pemerintah yang terlibat.

Read the story here or see updated, real-time fire data on the new Global Forest Watch-Fires platform. Cecelia Song, Andrew Leach, and other experts at WRI also contributed to this post. Bacalah posting blog dalam Bahasa Indonesia di sini People in Indonesia, Singapore, and parts of Malaysia are currently suffering from debilitating levels of haze resulting from forest fires. Air quality levels in Singapore have deteriorated to the worst levels ever recorded on the island, while local airports in Indonesia and some schools in Malaysia have had to close. Almost all of the recent fires (June 12-20) have occurred in Sumatra, an island in western Indonesia. While there's been heated debate on the location, cause, and nature of the fires, WRI has compiled some initial data that reveals that there are some patterns. Relatively few fires have occurred in protected areas and selective logging concessions. Furthermore, half of the fires are burning on timber and oil palm plantations. Although it is illegal for companies in Indonesia to start forest or land fires, several companies have used fires for land clearing in the past. It will be important to gather more detailed information about the exact location of the fires and their causes, which could have important implications for the companies and government agencies involved. A Look Inside the Forest Fire Data WRI gathered information from NASA's Active Fire Data, which uses satellite data to pinpoint the location of fires in near real time, together with the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry's concession maps for oil palm, logging concessions, and timber plantation licenses. We counted the number of NASA fire alerts in each concession in Indonesia and tabulated the results. Read more Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 next › last »

I decided to try this instead of paying my hairdresser 10 times as much money to colour my hair. I think for the price it does a really good job. Colouring your own hair blonde is always fraught with danger, but this brand seems to be gentle and didn't produce horrible yellow over-bleached hair like I've had in the past with the chemical-filled dyes. It has very little smell which makes for a plasant change. The mixing can get a little messy and inexact but it's not a big problem. I like the fact that you can mix only half and just do your roots, then save the other half for later.
Excellent for Gray!

Just leave it on longer than it says - maybe 10-20 minutes longer. My hair is long and curly, so I needed two boxes. But it is GREAT stuff. Looks really natural.
Good Product

I used the Naturtint first and then tried this when I had regrowth. They both seem to be excellent. I love the really natural looking colour they both give me. This will be the one I re buy , but just because it is the cheapest. They also have my hair looking curly again instead of frizzy. Can't believe how much better they are in every way compared to the ordinary retail ones. Definitely win/win !!

Classic chronograph styling with contemporary features, the Invicta Men's Pro Diver Collection Chronograph Stainless Steel Watch features a brushed and polished stainless steel case and a band that closes with a fold-over safety clasp. The stainless steel case provides an ideal foundation for this watch's rotating bezel with minute markers and its attractive blue dial. The dial has luminous hands and hour markers, and three subdials at the two, six, and 10 o'clock position. There's also a magnified date window at the four o'clock position to help you keep tabs on your busy schedule. For added style, Invicta included a large crown and two bold buttons on the right-hand side of the case. Other features include precise Swiss quartz movement, a durable flame-fusion crystal, and water resistance to 660 feet (200 meters).
With the right watch, it's no bother counting the minutes. Never mind the unique cuff-style band, but the face—that's really something. Set to appear suspended inside the silvertone bezel, the pearly face features 2 partial dials in different sizes—the larger 11-1 and 5-7 circling the edge, and the smaller remaining numerals around the center. A slightly concave crystal covers the bezel for a final quirky touch. Water-resistant to 30M/98'; faux-leather band. Imported. Cuff: 3-1/2Lx1-3/4W". Face: 2Lx1W".See all Product Description

According to documents from USAID, 750 houses built by USAID near the new Caracol industrial park, were found to be of poor quality and will take millions of dollars to repair. The houses are part of USAID's "New Settlement Program," which was the subject of a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report in October 2013 as well as a USAID Inspector General (IG) audit in April 2014.The GAO report found that USAID had initially planned on building 15,000 houses but that the number had been reduced to just 2,600. At the same time costs skyrocketed, from $53 million to over $90 million. At the time of the report, just 900 houses had been built across Haiti. (For more on the housing project, and how these estimates changed, see "Outsourcing Haiti" from earlier this year in Boston Review.)Speaking before the House Foreign Affairs Committee in October 2013, Beth Hogan, an Assistant Administrator at USAID, explained how those cost increases occurred:
Again, it's because of the requirements that we put into our solicitation document that it meet international building codes, that it comply with federal building standards, that these materials would be disaster- and hurricane-proof.
Hogan went on to say that she was "very happy with the quality" with which the contractors were building the houses. David Gootnick, the author of the GAO report and the Director of International Affairs and Trade at the agency, echoed Hogan's remarks, telling Congress that, "they are excellent homes that are built to a very high standard."However, last month, USAID quietly awarded a contract worth up to $4.5 million to an American-based firm, Tetra Tech, to provide a remediation plan for the Caracol houses. The seriousness of the deficiencies was great enough for USAID to bypass normal contracting procedures and award the contract without receiving other bids. The justification document, required when normal procedures are not followed, explains that an independent assessment was performed in August 2014, which "revealed numerous deficiencies" including "missing roof fasteners, sub-specification roof materials and concrete reinforcement, and other structural and drainage issues."
"Haitian people are all too familiar with the court expressing sympathy to their plight but closing doors to them," concluded Muneer Ahmad, Clinical Professor of Law at Yale Law School, at today's federal District Court hearing concerning the U.N.'s immunity for introducing cholera to Haiti. "That need not be the case here," said Ahmad.
For one day, at least, the Southern District federal court in New York did open their doors, as Judge Oetken heard oral arguments in the case George et al. V. United Nations et al. The question before the court today was whether or not the U.N. and its officers should have immunity from claims arising from the introduction of cholera into Haiti by U.N. troops in October 2010.
"It is not seriously disputed that the U.N. is responsible for causing this devastating epidemic," stated Beatrice Lindstrom, a staff attorney at the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti and counsel for the thousands of Haitian cholera victims represented in the suit. The U.N. did not appear in court but rather it was U.S. government attorney Ellen Blain who spoke in defense of U.N. immunity, citing the U.S.'s obligation as host nation to the U.N.
Lindstrom argued that the U.N.'s immunity, as called for in Section 2 of the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations [doc] (CPIUN) did not need to be expressly waived by the U.N., because it had failed to provide an alternative dispute mechanism, as called for in Section 29 of the CPIUN. Lindstrom stated that these two sections were "two-sides of the came coin" and that the convention must be interpreted "in whole." By failing to live up to its obligations under Section 29, the U.N. would not be able to then claim immunity under Section 2. U.S. attorneys argued that there was no link between the two sections and pointed to previous cases where U.S. courts have upheld immunity.
However, in those previous cases, the plaintiffs argued, the U.N. had provided an alternative dispute mechanism, and the question was over its adequacy. This was the first case before U.S. courts where the U.N. had failed entirely to live up to its obligations under Section 29, according to the plaintiffs as well as international law scholars, who filed amicus curiae with the court.
Like a Matryoshka doll, inside each cholera elimination initiative for Haiti one will find another and inside that, yet another. At the two-year anniversary of the earthquake, in January 2012, organizations launched a "call to action" for the elimination of cholera. Almost a year later, in December 2012, the U.N. launched a "new" initiative designed to "support an existing campaign." Then in February 2013, the Haitian government and international partners announced a 10-year elimination plan. When funding was slow to come, the U.N. and other partners began raising funds for a two-year emergency response. In March of 2014, another "high-level" committee was formed and then in July, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon traveled to Haiti to launch a "Total Sanitation" campaign within the "context" of the cholera elimination plan. Since that first announcement in 2012, 1,600 Haitians have died from cholera. Today, in a "high-level" donor conference sponsored by the World Bank, the Haitian government presented yet another plan.
"We have a plan, it's a $310 million plan for three years," Haitian Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe told the crowded 13th floor conference room in the World Bank headquarters here in Washington, DC. Lamothe urged those in attendance to "take action" and "fast-track this process" in order to "protect the lives of millions of people" and "ensure the most vulnerable of the society are protected against water-borne diseases." But the 2.5-hour conference ended up short on pledges and long on pleas, with only the event's sponsor, the World Bank, contributing substantial funds.
Cholera, which scientific studies have found was introduced to Haiti by United Nations troops in 2010, has so far killed at least 8,614 and sickened over 700,000. While no speakers at the conference mentioned how the disease was imported to Haiti, Lamothe did play a short video, in which the narrator explains that, "based on press reports, it [cholera] originated on a Nepalese camp of the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Haiti, MINUSTAH." Later in the video, a Haitian explains how he blamed the U.N. for cholera's introduction. Meanwhile, lawyers and human rights groups continue to press for U.N. responsibility through the courts. A federal court in New York will hear oral arguments on the U.N.'s immunity on October 23.
"The UN has a binding international law obligation to install the water and sanitation infrastructure necessary to control the cholera epidemic, as well as compensate those injured," said Brian Concannon of the Institute for Justice & Democracy in Haiti, who is representing cholera victims in their case against the U.N. "MINUSTAH has spent far more than $2 billion since cholera broke out on other things. It is a question of priorities."
While the U.N. has refused to accept responsibility for the disease's introduction or take direct remedial actions, in December 2012 Ban pledged to "use every opportunity" to raise the necessary funds for cholera elimination and has since cited the U.N.'s "moral obligation" to respond to cholera. Despite the support, actors have thus far failed to raise an adequate amount of funds for the eradication plan. At the conference, Ban stated that "as of today, the $2.2 billion 10-year national plan is just 10 percent funded. While a lot has been done, there is clearly much more to do."
At the United Nations Security Council meeting last week, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Samantha Power did not mince words regarding who was to blame for Haiti's electoral impasse. Power, speaking to the assembled members, stated bluntly [PDF]:
But a group of six senators seems intent on holding elections hostage to partisan concerns, even going so far as to prevent a debate on the electoral law.
Legislators in a democracy have a responsibility to defend their constituents' rights. But when elected officials take advantage of democracy's checks and balances to cynically block debates and elections altogether, they stand in the way of addressing citizens' real needs.
It wasn't just the U.S. referencing the so called "Group of 6." The head of MINUSTAH, the U.N. mission in Haiti, also blamed a "group of Senators opposed to the El Rancho Accord." Today, in a separate action, 15 U.S. members of Congress wrote to the Senate president Simon Desras. As the Miami Herald reports, the lawmakers wrote that:
"We are deeply concerned that the Haitian Senate has been unable to pass the requisite legislation to authorize elections this year….We believe that Haitians deserve better than to have this fundamental democratic right continually delayed."
But, the Herald continues, "[i]n addition to the senators, several large political parties in Haiti are also opposed to the agreement and were not part of the negotiations [the El Rancho Accord]. In addition to raising constitutional issues, Martelly opponents have also raised questions about the formation of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) tasked with organizing the vote. Many feel that it is currently being controlled by the executive."
Opposition leader Mirlande Manigat, a conservative who lost to Martelly in a run-off election in 2011 and is a constitutional scholar, responded to the comments from the U.S. and the U.N., saying it was unreasonable to overlook the role that Martelly has played in the delay:
"For three years, he refused to call elections. A large part of this is his fault…It is unfair to accuse the six senators for the crisis."
As we have noted previously, there are legal and constitutional reasons behind the oppositions' electoral stance. According to Mario Joseph, managing lawyer for the Bureau des Avocats Internationaux, "Prompt elections are much needed, but elections will only remedy Haiti's political crisis if they are run fairly by a constitutionally-mandated electoral council. President Michel Martelly has delayed elections for three years because he does not want to lose the political control he has enjoyed without full parliamentary oversight."
Fanmi Lavalas leaders report that the police that have guarded former president Jean-Bertrand Aristide's residence since he returned to Haiti in 2011 were removed around 1:00 a.m. this morning. It is unclear who ordered the removal of the state security agents, but Agence Haitienne de Presse is reporting that Haitian National Police deny giving the order, and that a "pro-government source" says the orders came from the National Palace. This news conflicts with reports yesterday that Aristide is being placed under house arrest. While Judge Lamarre Belizaire reportedly issued an order for "agents of the prison administration, known as APENA" to be placed around Aristide's house in Tabarre (according to the Caribbean Media Corporation) and "agents of the Central Department of the Judicial Police" to guard the perimeter of his residence, witnesses on the ground say it appears that law enforcement agencies have ignored Belizaire's order. Under Haitian law, house arrest has no legal basis.
Brian Concannon of the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti, whose sister organization the Bureau des Avocats Internationaux's Managing Attorney Mario Joseph represents Aristide, sees the withdrawal of security as retaliation against Aristide for exercising his civil rights. Specifically, Aristide's lawyers' are seeking the recusal and dismissal of Judge Belizaire, who is already barred from practicing law for 10 years after he leaves his position as judge.
Concannon says that the message is that "If you assert your civil rights, we're going to expose you and your family to being killed." He sees it as a clear signal from the Haitian government that "the police will not come to Aristide's aid if something happens." The secretive way in which the security was pulled, in the dead of night, is worrying, he notes.
Aristide continues to have many enemies in Haiti. He was twice ousted in violent coups, in 1991 and 2004. Some of the people involved in the coups and in the killing of Fanmi Lavalas members and other Aristide supporters continue to walk free in Haiti. Haiti's former dictator, Jean-Claude Duvalier – who was ousted in a popular uprising by the grassroots movement that later provided the base for Aristide's party – also lives freely in Haiti despite the various human rights atrocities committed during his rule and the diverting of hundreds of millions of dollars from the government for his family's personal use.

This Is What Love in Action Looks Like
May 7, 2012 by Michael Toumayan, Manager, Religion and Faith Program
When Zack Stark came out to his parents, he had no idea that his life was about to change forever. Stuck inside "Love In Action" – an ex-gay 'rehabilitation' program – the quiet teenager blogged about their draconian practices, sparking an impassioned, nationwide protest to rescue the teen. In This is What Love in Action Looks Like, filmmaker Morgan Jon Fox captures the stirring, inspirational true-story of how religious dogma is used to bully LGBT teens and how social media is essential to inspiring transparency, change, and hope for a new generation of activism.
The behavioral modification process known as "ex-gay therapy" inflicts severe harm to the human psyche by furthering confusion and damaging self-esteem. Like Zack, having attended a program at a Palm Beach Baptist church, I was driven by feelings of guilt and shame due to my misguided understanding of the religion's definition of homosexuality. These 'rehabilitation' programs attempt to polarize two fundamental parts of humanity: our sexuality and our faith. To be closer to God, I was told I had to suppress and overcome homosexual tendencies. I know now these tactics are not a true reflection of Christian teachings and I'm proud of our vision at HRC's Religion and Faith program to work to ensure that no one is forced, like Zack, to choose between who they love and how they worship.
Pete Webb, a member of HRC's Board of Governors, who reviewed an advance copy of the film, agrees: "Just as protests and action followed Zack's exposure of horrendous experiences, today people of faith must stand up and reclaim the voice of reason, love and understanding. LGBT people are active members of our synagogues, churches, families, schools and communities. Hopefully this film will spark an open dialogue with our friends and family. Religion should never be used to shackle people but to embrace and encourage folks to live authentic lives."
The DVD is being released today. To learn more about This Is What Love In Action Looks Like, please visit http://www.tlareleasing.com. You can also view HRC's resource on the dangers of reparative therapy here.

Saturday 29 Nov 2014
By Javier Pes. Web onlyPublished online: 05 June 2013
The William Morris Gallery in east London became the UK museum of the year when it received the prestigious Art Fund Prize, worth £100,000, last night (4 June). The small museum in the suburb of Walthamstow, which reopened last year after a £5m modernisation project, celebrates the life and work of the 19th century artist-craftsman and left-wing campaigner who combined an idiosyncratic form of socialism with business savvy. Morris and Co arts and crafts furniture, fabrics and wall paper raised middle-class taste in Victorian England. Britain's representative at this year's Venice Biennale, Jeremy Deller, is one of Morris's many admirers. Deller contributed his thoughts on Morris's ideas, including his back-to-the-land vision of a post-industrial society, in a video on show in the gallery, while for the British pavilion in Venice he has installed murals, one of which depicts Morris as a colossus throwing a supersized yacht owned by the billionaire collector Roman Abramovich into the lagoon. Another British artist will be delighted. Grayson Perry, who has a studio in Walthamstow, displayed a tapestry inspired by the unfashionable suburb's contemporary charms when the museum reopened last July. Runners up included the Dulwich Picture Gallery, south London, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Glasgow, and the Hepworth Wakefield, which won the £10,000 Clore Award for Learning.

|To be totally honest
I have two really good inside sources. One source has his family name on one of the buildings on campus (most of you know the building). Last year, they told me that a sizable portion of donors were getting "antsy" with Brady Hoke, enough so that Brandon started putting out feelers for a new coach before this season. (in a similar fashion he did for Nuss). I told the board this, and I got negged to Mexico City (not quite Bolivia). According to them, Brandon's leash was getting short and he ABSOLUTELY could not mess up the next hire (if it came to that). One guy told me about a week before DB's "resignation" that he was going to be let go in the next couple weeks. What I'm trying to say is that these guys know some juicy tidbits and they have been right about several things in the past. I trust them.
So, what are they telling me now regarding our current situation. Bubcus! One guy says he doesn't know much, and the other clearly knows something but won't tell me.

|Ha! You're kidding right?
Have you not seen the numberous objective analyses regarding the development of our players? Some of this coming from NFL scouts. I'll give you the cliff notes' version: Hoke and co. are doing a lackluster job developing talent. Plain and simple. This is not my analysis, but it doesn't take a football expert to see the "fruits" (or lack thereof) of Hoke's player development. Sure, there are some nice examples of positive player development, but the question is if Hoke is getting the most out of them. I think objective observers are saying "no!"
"I hate this meme that this board keeps saying. It is hurting recruiting, other coaches can point recruits to this board and say Michigan fans don't think thier coaches can develop talent"
Do you really think the opinions and analyses by posters on this board has any impact on recruits? I'm confident it doesn't. And if it does, it negligible.
"As fans of Michigan we should do our part to make the team better and stop tearing it down."
My job as a fan is not to make the team play better (at least not in a direct manner), that is the job of the coaches and the players. My job as a fan is to show up and cheer like heck for them to win.
|3 weeks 4 days ago
|Another key question in this event is...
...how will it impact recruiting. We are already losing some decent talent for very legitimate reasons (I.e. Hoke's ability to develop talent, etc). Will making this type of run at the end of the season change the general gestalt amongst our potential recruits, despite having Hoke remain as head coach?
|3 weeks 4 days ago
I don't think DB had much to do with the performance of the team on the field. That's all on Hoke. Then again, Hoke likes to deflect blame from time to time, so he might say something to blame DB.

|These are interesting questions
I've had this discussion with lots of people lately, and since its pretty much a forgone conclusion that Hoke is done, these discussions have been meaningful lately.
It is my belief, a good method to gauge the abilities of a coach-in-termoil is to see where he goes next. Great coaches do a bad job from time to time, and hence may have a bad head coaching stop somewhere (i.e. RR at UM). Over the years, coaches gain an indentity amongst the football luminaries that is more or less like a tattoo.
With that said, I don't think Hoke ends up in a power five head coaching position ever again. Simply put, he's not built for it. I think he goes back to the MAC. Maybe a DC in a power conference.
|5 weeks 4 days ago
|I'll add
I got negged pretty bad when I stated my preseason prediction: we would have 5, maybe 6 loses. My rationale was not steeped in sound mathematical analysis of the OL development or the Nuss impact. I predicted we would suck mostly because I thought Hoke was simply a poor coach for big time college football. And I have thought like that for years. I caught A LOT of heat for that, especially with some of my more connected Michigan network who WERE 100% behind Hoke at that time.
Vindication can be bittersweet.

FORT WAYNE – It ended that late October night with Luke Amstutz kneeling between the "E" and the "N" at midfield, staring blankly at nothing as the Concord Minutemen celebrated loudly behind him.
Nine months later, the blank stare is gone. And East Noble's football coach sees nothing but open road ahead.
"Losing that game was mind-numbingly hard, because we knew there could have been a nice run after that," he says, thinking back to the last-second 38-35 home sectional loss to Concord.
"But we've got a lot of guys back and a lot of guys excited about what could happen this year."
And they'll take with them as much good as bad out of that night – namely, the way they roared back from a 35-14 deficit in the fourth quarter to tie it, and how that said a lot more about the football team they'd become under their first-year coach.
"Losing to Concord last year when we thought we should have gone a lot farther, that was awful," defensive back Nathan Wible says. "Won't let it happen again. We just have to keep the practice intensity up every week. That's the main difference."
There will be a few others this fall, from a team that went 7-3, won its last four regular-season games and averaged 39.7 points out of Amstutz' pass-crazy spread. With quarterback Nic Weimer gone, the Knights won't be nearly as pass-crazy, for one thing; new quarterback Bryce Wolfe will still have all-state receiver Grey Fox (76 catches for 1,117 yards) to throw to, but he ran for 226 yards last season and returning back Brandon Mable grounded out 736, giving the East Noble offense a bit of as different look.
"Last year we had a quarterback who could really throw it, and we flung it around a lot," Amstutz says. "We have a little bit more inexperienced quarterback this year, but he's got some skills our kid last year didn't in the running game. We've got what we think is an excellent offensive line coming back and a couple really good running backs coming back, so we'll probably be a little bit more of a running team, I guess."
On the defense, nine starters return, including Wible; All-NHC linebacker Walker Boyles; and Mable, who was all-state.
"Defensively we're going to be really good again and we're excited about that," Amstutz says.
"It was a great experience for me to come in first year into an established program already and come in and compete and play well. The kids at East Noble expect to win and prepare to win, and we really built off the finish of that year."

American manufacturing is now staring at the oncoming threat of a global
economic slowdown, after investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in
high tech equipment; Drew Greenblatt's manufacturing business is
beginning to see a return on that investment. Business had been up 20
percent last year at Marlin Steel, which makes wire baskets for
industrial customers.

Keywords: Marlin Steel, China, intellectual property, Drew Greenblatt
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Exports are currently helpful. The company has just shipped to China a $20,000 order made at his Baltimore, Maryland factory with steel supplied by a mill in Illinois.
Low wages and low-cost manufacturing used to make Chinese markets tough for U.S. manufacturers to break into. However, with rising wages in China, American companies are having second thoughts about moving their manufacturing jobs to China, Greenblatt said.
"All of a sudden, if your math says, 'I've got to pay the guy $7.50 an hour in Shanghai or I can hire a guy for $12 an hour in Canton, Ohio,' why would I do it in Shanghai?" Greenblatt says.
"I've got intellectual property issues over there, there's no rule of law, there's a lot of corruption. Plus if I make it here, I get the stuff six weeks faster: there's no freight. So a lot of the reasons to push jobs overseas are starting to fall apart."
Other companies are "waking up to smell the coffee," as advice columnist Ann Landers used to say. A report in March by the Boston Consulting Group found seven industry groups, selling about $200 billion in Chinese-made imports, that will likely shift production back to the U.S. to evade rising costs in China. That could add between $20 billion to $55 billion to U.S. gross domestic product before the end of the decade.
U.S. export gains in Chinese and other global markets will create between two million and three million American jobs, lower the U.S. unemployment rate by between 1.5 to 2.0 percentage points and cut the U.S. merchandise trade deficit by 25 to 35 percent, according to the study.
Demand for Chinese exports is being hindered by the ongoing recession in Europe, China's largest trading partner. However, the hit to China's exports so far has not as been as bad as expected compared to the sharp downturn that followed the financial panic of 2008.
According to Carl Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics, lost exports amount to about $300 billion, about half the losses from the 2008 downturn and the Chinese economy is better able to weather the loss because it's large and its currency is stronger than in 2008, he said.
Weinberg figures the decline in exports hasn't run its course and could get a lot worse.
The slowdown in China is also starting to take a bite out of the economies of smaller, emerging economies and trading partners that supply the raw materials needed to feed China's export machine.
"Asia should be very worried if the European situation continues to unravel," Rob Subbaraman, chief Asia economist, at Nomura Group says. "It can handle moderate growth in Europe or the U.S. But if we start to move toward a deep recession there's a tipping point where Asia gets hit very hard again."

Brief Summary
Citrus maxima, the pomelo (also called pummelo or shaddock) in the Rutaceae (citrus family). It is a medium-sized tree but the largest of all Citrus species, with large leaves, flowers, and fruits. The species is native to southern China and Malaysia (and possibly other parts of southeast Asia), and is now cultivated in many tropical and semi-tropical countries for its large fruits. This species was a progenitor of the grapefruit (C. X paradisi) and the tangelo (C. reticulata), among other modern citrus hybrids. Pomelos are often confused with grapefruits, from which they can generally be distinguished by their larger size, thicker rinds, milder—even sweet—flavor, and tough bitter membranes that are often considered inedible.
The C. maxima tree, which is the most cold-intolerant citrus species, has a rounded crown and grows 5 to 15 m (15 to 50 ft) tall. The tree has large evergreen oblong to elliptic leaves, 10.5 to 20 cm (4 to 8 in) long, with winged petioles (leaf stems). The flowers and fruits are borne singly, in contrast to grapefruits (C. X paradisi), in which they grown in clusters of 2 to 20. The fruits, which vary from round to pear-shaped and ripen to yellow, orange, or red, are large--30 cm or more in diameter, and weighing up to 9 kg (20 lbs). The flesh of the fruit, which may be greenish yellow, yellow, pink, or red, is often juicy, and divided into 11 to 18 segments. The flavor is sweet to somewhat acidic.
Like other citrus fruits, pomelos are high in vitamin C. They are generally eaten as a fresh fruit, and they store well. They have long been popular in Asia, especially China, Indonesia, and Thailand, but are increasingly found in specialty markets in the U.S. as well. The juice is also used in various beverages (both alcoholic and non), and the peel may be candied. Traditional medicinal uses of the fruit include treatment of coughs, fevers, and gastrointestinal disorders. The aromatic flowers are picked and processed into perfume in Vietnam, and the wood, which is heavy and hard-grained, used for making tool handles.

The pummelo fruit has excellent damping properties due to the hierarchical organization of its composite peel
"Natural materials often exhibit excellent mechanical properties. An example of outstanding impact resistance is the pummelo fruit (Citrus maxima) which can drop from heights of 10 m and more without showing significant outer damage. Our data suggest that this impact resistance is due to the hierarchical organization of the fruit peel, called pericarp." (Fischer 2010: B658)
"Citrus maxima is the largest fruit among the genus Citrus with a fruit weight up to 6 kg and a maximal height of the fruit bearing trees of 15 m. In combination these two factors, fruit weight and the height of the fruit bearing branches, cause a high potential energy of the hanging fruit. After the fruit is shed its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy which reaches its maximum just before impact with the ground. If the high kinetic energy was to cause the pummelos to split open when impacting with the ground, the fruits would perish within a short time due to the tropical climate in Southeast Asia, the region of origin of the genus Citrus." (Fischer 2010: B659)
"Semi-quantitative analyses of thin sections of pummelo peel revealed a gradual transition in density between exocarp and mesocarp. Thus, structurally, the dense exocarp cannot be separated clearly from the spongy mesocarp. We hypothesize that due to this lack of an abrupt change in tissue composition and therefore in structural and mechanical properties the risk of delamination of the tissues during impact is reduced. The impact force acting on the pummelo depends on the velocity of the fruit before impact and its weight, but also on the consistency of the ground. Under natural conditions, part of the total energy is dissipated by the relatively pliable ground, as typically existing in the regions where pummelos grow naturally. In the tests presented mechanical loads acting on the fruits were increased by dropping the fruits onto a hard ground. Thus all kinetic energy must have been dissipated by the fruits themselves. The mesocarp with its air-filled intercellular spaces represents a compressible foam. As the Young's modulus of this spongy part of the peel is rather low, we conclude that its ability to dissipate large amounts of energy must result from the structural composition of the peel." (Fischer 2010: B662)

Citrus maxima (or Citrus grandis), (Common names: shaddock,[1] pomelo, pummelo, pommelo, or lusho fruit) is a crisp citrus fruit native to South and Southeast Asia. It is usually pale green to yellow when ripe, with sweet white (or, more rarely, pink or red) flesh and very thick albedo (rind pith). It is the largest citrus fruit, 15–25 centimetres (5.9–9.8 in) in diameter,[2] and usually weighing 1–2 kilograms (2.2–4.4 lb).
Etymology, cultivation and uses[edit]
Citrus maxima was originally called "shaddock", in English, after the captain of an East India Company ship who introduced it to Jamaica in 1696.[3] Recently the word "pomelo" has become the more common name, although "pomelo" has historically been used for grapefruit. (The 1973 printing of the American Heritage Dictionary for example gives grapefruit as the only meaning of "pomelo".)
The etymology of the word "pomelo" is uncertain. It is thought to perhaps be an alteration of the Dutch pompelmoes (meaning Citrus maxima) or alternatively, perhaps an alteration of a compound of pome ("apple") + melon.[4]
Citrus maxima is native to Southeast Asia[5] and is known there under a wide variety of names. In large parts of South East Asia, it is a popular dessert, often eaten raw sprinkled with or dipped in salt mixture. It is also eaten in salads and drinks.
The fruit tastes like a sweet, mild grapefruit (which is itself believed to be a hybrid of Citrus maxima and the orange[6]), though the typical shaddock is much larger in size than the grapefruit. It has very little, or none, of the common grapefruit's bitterness, but the enveloping membranous material around the segments is bitter, considered inedible, and thus usually is discarded. The peel is sometimes used to make marmalade, can be candied and sometimes dipped in chocolate. Citrus maxima is usually grafted onto other citrus rootstocks, but can be grown from seed, provided the seeds are not allowed to dry out before planting.
The two varieties are a sweet kind, which has white flesh, and a sour kind, which has pinkish flesh and is more likely to be used as an altar decoration than actually eaten. Pomelos are often eaten during the mid-autumn festival or mooncake festival; in Asia.
The fruit is said to have been introduced to Japan by a Cantonese captain in the An'ei era (1772–1781).[7]
It is one of the ingredients of Forbidden Fruit, a liqueur dating back to the early 20th century that also contains honey and brandy. This liqueur is most famously used in the Dorchester cocktail.
In Brazil, the thick skin is often used for making a sweet conserve, while the middle is discarded.
The fruit is known by various local names in India, including "batabi lebu" (বাতাবি লেবু) in West Bengal, "robab tenga" in Assam, and "kambili naranga" in Kerala.[8] In Hindi it is called "chakotra" चकोतरा or "Bijoura". In Nepal, it is called "bhogate" भोगटे.
The tangelo is a hybrid between Citrus maxima and the tangerine. It has a thicker skin than a tangerine and is less sweet. The Oroblanco is a hybrid between Citrus maxima and the grapefruit, the grapefruit itself being a hybrid between Citrus maxima and the sweet orange. Mandelos are another hybrid containing genetic material from Citrus maxima.

VIDEO: Gio Gonzalez excited about Nats' new-look rotation
Jan 30, 2014, 11:13 AM EST
Gio Gonzalez has enjoyed an offseason free of drama and distractions, much different than last year. Instead of dealing with rumors surrounding Biogenesis and participating in the World Baseball Classic, Gonzalez has been working out in Florida, eating a lot of Cuban food and playing catch with Jorge Posada. It sounds like the life.
But Gonzalez is just two weeks away now from reporting to spring training in Viera, Fla. and is ready to get started for the 2014 season. He's thrilled to have Doug Fister in the Nats' rotation and says it is still a very confident team despite their disappointing 2013 campaign.
Watch his one-on-one interview with Mark right here:
- Sonny G 10 - Jan 30, 2014 at 12:29 PM
I really like Gio. He's such a nice guy to have on our team.
- tcostant - Jan 30, 2014 at 1:16 PM
I agree. His demeanor is just infectious. The glass is ALWAYS half full to Gio.
- Eugene in Oregon - Jan 30, 2014 at 4:41 PM
We went down to San Francisco for the Nats visit in August 2012. The night Gio Gonzalez pitched he had huge cheering section of Oakland fans wearing their Gio jerseys. I chatted with a couple of them and they were (a) very disappointed that the A's had traded Mr. Gonzalez, but (b) insistent that they would always cheer for and support him. As you say, an infectious — in a good way — personality.
- nats1924 - Jan 30, 2014 at 1:23 PM
agree, Gio is a good guy
Spring training yet?
- ArVAfan - Jan 30, 2014 at 1:57 PM
It's already Spring Training for Gio. Given his bullpens with Posada, I expect him to report in the best shape of his career.
- Nats128 - Jan 30, 2014 at 2:15 PM
I commented in the last post that Gio really bulked up in the lower body as we saw at FanFest. Like you said about Posada he might be a candidate for BSOHL Award.
- water47 - Jan 30, 2014 at 2:39 PM
Gio will dominate. His left arm will carry the team thru the season and into October. His attitude will make the group relaxed and positive.

Newscaster Reports NBA Finals Game Ends in a Tie
Just in case you were wondering, there is no such thing as a tie-game in the NBA playoffs.
Just in case you were wondering, there is no such thing as a tie-game in the NBA playoffs.
Dallas Mavericks power forward Dirk Nowitzki is a man of many talents, but who knew one of those was playing the mighty tambourine? Nowitzki has had a little extra free time on his giant hands this year after his defending NBA Champion Mavs got swept out of the playoffs in the first round by the Oklahoma City Thunder. What's he been doing with his time off? Would you believe he's been rocking out with the Avett Brothers?
For years many have claimed that the NBA rigs many of it's events. Is there any truth to the speculation? Or are people just bitter when things don't go their way?
After a couple of rocky years, the New Orleans Hornets now have something to be excited about.
The conference finals have kicked off in the NBA. Each of the four teams has potential to win a ring, but which match up do you want to see the most?
The Miami Heat and Boston Celtics will face each other in the Eastern Conference Finals. Game 1 of the best-of-seven series is Monday night in Miami. The winner advances to the 2012 NBA Finals against the victor of the San Antonio-Oklahoma City series. Here's a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals:
The NBA playoffs have been pretty exciting this season. Some big names are out, leaving just a few stars left. So who is the best one still on the floor?
