TERA: Rising's Dungeon Assault update hits servers today to add four new dungeons and a new assortment of loot said to be the most powerful in the game. We recently had the chance to
kidnap speak with TERA Producer Patrick Sun to find out more about what the update has to offer, the reception of last month's Alliance update, and corral a few small details about what's next for TERA.
Ten Ton Hammer: Can you tell our readers your name and what it is you do for En Masse Entertainment on TERA?
Patrick Sun: Hello! My name is Patrick Sun, and I'm the producer of TERA here at En Masse Entertainment.
Ten Ton Hammer: TERA recently launched its Alliance update, expanding the political system and opening up new alliances for players to join. Can you tell us how this has changed the game's dynamics and how players seem to be reacting to the new political position of Exarch?
Patrick Sun: It's changed player behavior quite a bit! Open World PvP felt somewhat hectic before, but now players have objectives and incentives to group together and have mass battles. The race to become an all-powerful Exarch has been fierce and players are loving the power of ruling on a server-wide level. It's been great seeing how the different guilds choose to team up to combat the idea of a super faction. There are also quite a bit of PvE objectives in an Alliance, so it's something for everyone.
Ten Ton Hammer: TERA's content release schedule seems to have increased its pacing since going free-to-play earlier this year with new content releases hitting servers often just over a month from the last. Since the free-to-play patch, you've added a substantial amount of new content with the Kelsaik's Raid update (May), the Corsair's Stronghold Battleground update (July), the Alliance update (August), and now the Dungeon Assault update (September). Can we expect to see this near monthly cadence for new content continue into the future?
Patrick Sun: The world of TERA has definitely changed the past few months with all the additions that we've made. Our goal is to continue delivering the highest-quality content as soon as it's ready, but some months will of course be bigger than others. That said, players can expect there to be monthly updates to TERA whether they're bigger event content or important bug fixes, quality of life changes, and more game modes. There's still a lot in store for TERA and these first few months of free to play have merely scratched the surface.
Ten Ton Hammer: TERA's Dungeon Assault update comes with four new dungeons, each designed for different sized groups with Channelworks designed for 3-player teams, the Shattered Forest for 5, Kezzel's Gorge for 7, and Wonderholme being the big one for a group of 10. Can you tell us a bit about the four new dungeons and what each one will offer players in both experience and rewards?
Patrick Sun: Wonderholme is certainly the biggest dungeon, and offers the best rewards in terms of gear. It also has most unique bosses and dungeon mechanics that are more than just who has the best DPS.
Kezzel's Gorge brings about a new giant boss that is intent on destroying one of the cities in TERA, but the town is only fortified enough to withstand a few attacks. Players will deploy new tower defense mechanics to take down the giant before it succeeds. They have the option of just using the weapons on their back, or the help of environmental traps like cannons, drills, and barricades placed along the way.
Shattered Fleet and Channelworks offer players the chance to get the new Zenith accessories that drop. Shattered Fleet takes players through the unstable wreckage of pirate ships to act revenge on the monsters that took them down. Channelworks takes you deep into the sewers of the Veritas District to fight alongside defense sentries to discover and take down who, or what, is behind the city water stoppage.
Ten Ton Hammer: The 10-player Wonderholme dungeon seems to draw inspiration from Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass." What sort of enemies can players expect to see deep within Wonderholme? Is there a twisted version of a Mad-Hatter or other types of enemies running around that may be inspired from the Wonderland stories that players should keep their eyes peeled for?
Patrick Sun: The developers love and definitely took inspiration from "Through the Looking-Glass" and you can tell as soon as you set foot in the dungeon. The environment is rich and vibrant, and full of fun design and gameplay mechanics. The enemies and bosses, however, take cues from the world Lewis Carroll conjured, but will be more unique to the TERA world. Depending on which one of the many rooms players find themselves in, enemies vary from a one-eyed giant clown trying to crush you to a grub-like caterpillar boss swallowing players whole.
Ten Ton Hammer: One of the dangers listed in the Wonderholme description is "environmental hazards." Can you tell us what sort of hazards will be within the dungeon, and can players expect to see a few of them in the form of unexpected booby traps?
Patrick Sun: Wonderholme is certainly not designed to make your life easy, even if you disregard all the enemy monsters trying to kill you. To use one room as an example, levers have to be flipped in sync with moving platforms requiring perfectly timed jumps over pools of acid. And sometimes, it's not enough that you have to kill a giant crazy jester boss, you have to do it with giant Indiana Jones-style rolling balls trying to crush you at the same time.

Let's *Really* Solve Health Care in the U.S.
The Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) is the latest MacGuffin in the decades-long struggle to figure out health care in the United States. Meaning, in the current debate it appears that the key to solving health care lies in enforcing and/or fixing and/or repealing Obamacare. However, I think our focus has been misdirected from the true underlying issue, which is that over the last several decades we have moved to a health care infrastructure that is primarily for-profit.
To illustrate, picture if you will a theoretical health care organization, let's call it Proactive Preventative Health Associates (PPHA). Now picture that PPHA lives up to their name in that they proactively manage the health of their patients and foster proven preventative measures to significantly reduce the incidence of manageable health issues (cardiovascular problems, diabetes, cancer, etc).
If PPHA is a for-profit organization, their success in creating a healthy customer base will result in a reduction of profits, and the better PPHA does at reducing or preventing recurring, long-term, expensive health care issues the worse they will do as a business entity, until such time that they could conceivably put themselves out of business by being good at what they do.
If PPHA is a non-profit organization, however, the improvement of the health of their patients means they are successful, and frees their resources to focus on more urgent or needy patients and issues, because there are no stockholders or investors watching the bottom line.
So, a for-profit health care organization has two conflicting and irreconcilable motivations. First, the (assumed) goal of maximizing the health of their patients, and second, the fiduciary goal of maximizing the health care expenses and profitability of their customers.
These two adversarial forces cannot be reconciled – they simply cannot. Health care and profits do not go together, because if they are combined we are creating a situation where those who we trust to keep us healthy will actually be motivated to maximize our healthcare spending.
These are not theoretical noodlings, fyi. If you were to read this article, you would find a case of a for-profit hospital that was allegedly sedating patients until they had trouble breathing, and then performing unnecessary tracheotomies at great expense (and profit). Not only would this constitute fraud, it also may have resulted in the deaths of patients who would have otherwise survived.
Less sinister, but also illustrative, this article discusses (among other things) a study that indicated that for-profit nursing homes appeared to use significantly more sedatives and significantly fewer staff to manage those in their care. While this might be good news to a profit-motivated investor, it would be disheartening if it were your mother they were keeping sedated because it was cheaper than creating an active and engaging environment for her.

NEW YORK (AP) — A single of the art world's most recognizable images — Edvard Munch's "The Scream" — marketed Wednesday for a record $ 119,922,five hundred at auction in New York City.
The 1895 artwork — a modern symbol of human anxiety — was marketed at Sotheby's. Neither the buyer's title nor any particulars about the buyer was released.
The previous document for an artwork sold at auction was $ 106.5 million for Picasso's "Nude, Green Leaves, and Bust," sold by Christie's in 2010.
Munch's picture of a guy holding his head and screaming under a streaked, blood-red sky is 1 of 4 versions by the Norwegian expressionist painter. The auctioned piece at Sotheby's is the only one left in private hands.
The graphic has become component of pop culture, "utilised by everyone from Warhol to Hollywood to cartoons to teacups and T-shirts," explained Michael Frahm of the London-primarily based art advisory service firm Frahm Ltd. "With each other with the Mona Lisa, it truly is the most famous and acknowledged picture in art history."
A buzz swept by means of the area when the artwork was introduced for auction as two guards stood view on both facet. Bidding started at $ forty million with seven purchasers leaping into the opposition early.
The fight ultimately boiled down to two telephone bidders as the historic hammer price tag was eventually reached right after much more than 12 minutes. The document value incorporates the auction house's payment.
Sotheby's said the pastel-on-board model of "The Scream" is the most colourful and radiant of the 4 and the only edition whose frame was hand-painted by the artist to include his poem, detailing the work's inspiration.
In the poem, Munch explained himself "shivering with nervousness" and said he felt "the fantastic scream in character."
Norwegian businessman Petter Olsen, whose father was a buddy and patron of the artist, mentioned he marketed the piece through Sotheby's simply because he felt "the instant has arrive to supply the rest of the globe the opportunity to very own and appreciate this outstanding operate."
"I have lived with this perform all my existence, and its electricity and energy have only elevated with time," Olsen said.
Proceeds from the sale will go toward the institution of a new museum, art middle and hotel in Hvitsten, Norway, exactly where Olsen's father and Munch have been neighbors.
Olsen stated he was delighted with the auction sale and hoped publicity bordering it would improve community interest in Munch's work.
Simon Shaw of Sotheby's Impressionist and Contemporary Art Department in New York mentioned, "If at any time there was a function of artwork of accurate shock-and-awe, it was Edvard Munch's 'The Scream.'"
The director of the Nationwide Museum in Oslo, Audun Eckhoff, claims Norwegian authorities accepted the Munch sale since the other versions of the composition are in Norwegian museums. 1 model is owned by the National Museum and two other folks by the Munch Museum, also in Oslo.
Frahm had predicted the sale would break a document. He said it will present that wonderful top quality artworks can nevertheless arrive up for sale that the best end of the market is driving further away from the relaxation of the marketplace and that it really is a worldwide marketplace now wherever Asia and the Middle East are taking part in a much more significant role than Europe and The united states.
A total of 9 operates now have offered for $ eighty million or far more at auction, in accordance to Sotheby's.
Besides "The Scream" and Picasso's "Nude, Inexperienced Leaves, and Bust," only two other works have sold for far more than $ one hundred million at auction. Those are Picasso's "Boy With a Pipe (The Younger Apprentice)" for $ 104.one million in 2004 and Alberto Giacometti's "Strolling Guy I" for $ 104.three million in 2010.

The team behind the £1 billion regeneration of Dundee Waterfront is coming to Aberdeen later this month to encourage more collaboration with North East businesses on investment opportunities in and around Dundee Waterfront.
The Dundee Waterfront collaboration roadshow is being hosted by Brodies, the law firm, on Wednesday 28th November at 12.30pm. The event will be of interest to: public and private sector organisations, developers, entrepreneurs, financiers and specialist advisers, such as commercial property agents, lawyers and accountants.
Dundee is undergoing a major transformation, spearheaded by the £1 billion Dundee Waterfront project, which spans 240 hectares of land stretching 8km along the River Tay. Dundee Waterfront is the second largest regeneration project in Scotland and is within the top twenty such projects in the UK.
Mike Galloway, Dundee's Director of City Development, said: "There is already a great deal of co-operation between the two cities, but there is considerable potential to generate more investment and more business for everyone. Obvious areas of collaboration include: the growing renewables sector, life sciences, decommissioning projects, integrated tourism marketing and infrastructure investment.
"Proposed developments in and around Dundee, such as the V&A at Dundee, the new railway station and Fife and Angus's golf assets, are good examples of where we can all work together to create more wealth – to the benefit of both cities and regional economies."
The plans to transform Dundee Waterfront have already attracted £300m of committed investment. The flagship project is the £45 million V&A at Dundee, an international design centre which was granted planning consent in September and due to open in 2015.
V&A at Dundee is alone expected to generate 500,000 additional visitors to the city during its first year, then settling at more than 300,000 annually. Through close co-operation between both cities, many of these people could be encouraged to extend their stay by visiting Aberdeen and the North East.
In preparation for the increased number of visitors, Malmaison, the lifestyle hotel company, recently announced plans to open a 91-bed hotel in Dundee by Autumn 2013, creating 120 new jobs. Dundee City Council has approved plans for a new £14m railway station, along with a hotel, retail and office complex to service the expected increase in economic growth during the next five years. Over 9000 new jobs are forecast to be created as a result of the wave of new investment in the city.
Mike Galloway added: "We have already secured investment worth more than £300m and are well ahead with our plans to transform the city. Looking forward to the projected increase in investment, job creation and visitor numbers, it is clear Dundee is going to generate hundreds of millions of pounds of additional revenue.
"By working with businesses in Aberdeen and the North East we have the potential to increase that revenue dramatically. Dundee is well and truly open for business, and we hope our roadshow will encourage the North East business community to explore the opportunities with us."
A limited number of places are still available. To book, please email email@example.com

French Services
Moving to France How flexible drawdown of a UK pension is taxed in France
Please note that tax law is a complex subject and you should not rely on this article without professional advice on the facts of your case.
Individuals looking to relocate to France and become non UK residents could significantly reduce their income tax liability on their pension. They could also use flexible drawdown to take a significant sum of money out of their pension fund at a much lower tax rate than in the UK. This is likely to be attractive to people with valuable pensions who want to extract all the money from their pension and hold it directly without the services of pension fund trustees. This article considers how flexible drawdown is taxed in the UK and in France when an individual becomes French resident.
Pension income only taxed in France
Generally, if an individual moves to a country with which the UK has a double tax treaty, the provision of the treaty will determine where the individuals pension is taxable. Usually, the double tax treaty will provide that income from pension is taxable only in the country where the individual is resident. This is the case where an individual becomes French resident under Article 18 of the France and UK Double Tax Treaty (France/UK DTT).
Pension lump sums also only taxed in France
It is not completely clear whether lump sum payments also fall within the scope of this article. It is possible that lump sum payments fall within other similar remuneration stipulated in article 18 of the France/UK DTT. In case it does not, there is a catch all article in the France/UK DTT which stipulates that if the treaty does not deal with a specific income, then that income will be taxable in the country of residence. Therefore, it is most likely that a French resident would be taxable in France on any pension lump sum payments.
Flexible drawdown
In 2011 the UK government introduced flexible drawdown. This allows an individual to withdraw his pension fund in its entirety provided he has an annuity of at least £20,000 per year from the fund.
Flexible drawdown in UK
There are certain conditions that must be met before an individual is able to exercise the flexible drawdown. Firstly, the pension savings must be held in a money purchase arrangement (other than a cash balance arrangement) and the saving must be with a registered pension scheme. Secondly the individual must:
- be 55 years or older;
- be receiving other pension income (i.e. an annuity) of at least £20,000 pa;
- not have made any contributions in the tax year in which the declaration is made or not be an active member of any registered pension scheme under a cash balance arrangement; and
- make a valid declaration to the scheme administrator that they which to take flexible drawdown which the scheme administrator accepts.
If an individual meets the above criteria then he will be eligible and would be able to withdraw as much or as little money as they require. The withdrawal would be treated as income for tax purposes and be subject to the usual income tax rates.
The cost of a £20,000 annuity will be in the region of £330,000. This means that a person with a pension of £1 million would have £670,000 available to withdraw after buying the annuity. If the person, as a UK resident, then opts to drawdown the entirety of their pension fund they would be taxed as follows:
|0 - £34,370
|@ 20% = £6,874
|£34,371 - £150,000
|@ 40% = £46,251.60
|£150,001 - £670,000
|@ 50% = £259,999.50
|Total tax
Flexible drawdown paid to a non UK resident will not be subject to UK income tax. The individual will, however, be taxed on the flexible drawdown if they return to the UK within 5 tax years. In summary, if an individual became French resident and remained non UK resident for 5 years or more from the date of the flexible drawdown, they will not be subject to UK income tax.
French position
25% tax free lump sum payment
In the UK, individuals are permitted to drawdown 25% of their pension funds tax free. However, UK nationals who live in France and take a 25% lump sum would have to pay income tax on this, although, the rate of tax would be at a lower rate than the usual marginal income tax rates in France. This special rate will also apply to the lump sum payment under the flexible drawdown regime. The best approach is to take the 25% lump sum before becoming French resident. That way there will be no tax to pay in the UK or France.
Flexible Drawdown
There are two aspects of the flexible drawdown which will need to be considered in France; firstly, the £20,000 per annum annuity which an individual will have to take as a condition of being able to use the flexible drawdown and secondly, the flexible drawdown amount.
As mentioned above, the £20,000 will be subject to French taxation because article 18 of the DTT provides that France has the exclusive taxing right over pension income. The applicable income tax rate will depend on the individuals marital status, age and the number of children they have. Currently, the highest tax rate in France is 41% on income above €70,830. In addition to the usual income tax rates, there is a special tax of 3% on income between €250,000 and €500,000 and 4% on any income above €500,000.
Flexible drawdown amount
Under the Projet de Loi Rectificative for 2011, a special rate was introduced on pension lump sum payment. Currently, individuals can either be subject to income tax on the entire amount of the lump sum together with their usual annual income or opt to be taxed at a flat rate of 7.5% on 90% of the lump sum in the year of receipt. The special rate is only available to individuals with one lump sum and where the original contributions were tax deductible or exempt from tax. Most UK pension funds should satisfy this criterion.
Therefore, using the same example above, if a French resident individual opts to drawdown their pension funds it is entirety following the purchase of an annuity, then he or she could be subject to 7.5% on £603,000 (90% of £670,000) which would be £45,225. This is significantly lower income tax liability than in the UK, which would be £313,124.10.
Other advantages
Currently, there is a UK tax charge of 35% on death. HMRC levies this tax on the pension fund trustees on the death of the beneficiary. This means a significant reduction in pension income for a surviving widow. HMRC takes the view this tax is payable even though the deceased was not UK resident at the date of death. Exercising the flexible drawdown would mean this charge is avoided because there would be no money in the pension fund to tax. It also means complete freedom over how the pension fund is used or invested in. The pension would not be subject to the UK GAD which can reduce the level of income depending on the financial/economical market.
If an individual is planning to retire or relocate to France, then it would be wise to take the 25% tax free lump sum in the UK before becoming French resident.
If the individual becomes French resident and would like to exercise the flexible drawdown facility then the costs of buying an annuity of £20,000 per annum will need to be factored in. It would also be worth noting that the special rate of 7.5% will only apply to one lump sum and so may be worthwhile drawing down the pension funds in its entirety in one.
The flexible drawdown may be a better option to a QROPS as you will have the money directly under your control and not held by the QROPS trustee.
Individuals should only consider the flexible drawdown once they have established their non UK residency. It is also important for the individual to consider their UK residency status very carefully, and ensure compliance with the residency rules in both the UK and France.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] US/AFGHANISTAN - US defence boss makes unannounced Afghanistan trip
Released on 2012-10-11 16:00 GMT
|2011-12-13 16:07:55
KABUL, Dec 13 (Reuters) - US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta arrived in
Kabul on Tuesday for an unannounced visit at a time of persistent violence
and as the United States and its Western allies are reducing troop levels
in Afghanistan.
Panetta's visit comes on the heels of bomb attacks on Shi'ite Muslim
ceremonies in three Afghan cities. Afghan President Hamid Karzai said the
attacks killed 80 people.
NATO commanders say that a "surge" of more than 30,000 U.S. troops in
2009-2010 helped push the Taliban out of some areas of its southern
But the United Nations and other groups say violence nationwide is at its
worst since U.S.-backed Afghan forces toppled the Taliban from power in
late 2001.
Afghanistan's future remains unclear as the government and its Western
allies race to train and expand the national police and army while foreign
troops start heading home.
The Obama administration plans to withdraw its surge troops by the end of
next fall, leaving about 68,000 American soldiers.
Most foreign combat troops are expected to leave by the end of 2014, when
the Afghan government is due to have complete control of security across
the country.
The gradual transition to Afghan control began this summer, and a second
phase announced late last month will mean more than half the population is
living in areas where security has been handed over officially. (Reporting

The ADA4932 family is the next generation AD8132 with higher performance, and lower noise and power consumption. It is an ideal choice for driving high performance ADCs as a single-ended-to-differential or differential-to-differential amplifier. The output common-mode voltage is user adjustable by means of an internal common-mode feedback loop, allowing the ADA4932 family output to match the input of the ADC. The internal feedback loop also provides exceptional output balance as well as suppression of even-order harmonic distortion products.
With the ADA4932 family, differential gain configurations are easily realized with a simple external four-resistor feedback network that determines the closed-loop gain of the amplifier.
The ADA4932 family is fabricated using the Analog Devices, Inc., proprietary silicon-germanium (SiGe) complementary bipolar process, enabling it to achieve low levels of distortion and noise at low power consumption. The low offset and excellent dynamic performance of the ADA4932 family make it well suited for a wide variety of data acquisition and signal processing applications.
The ADA4932-1 is available in a 16-lead LFCSP and the ADA4932-2 is available in a 24-lead LFCSP. The pinout has been optimized to facilitate PCB layout and minimize distortion. The ADA4932 family is specified to operate over the −40°C to +105°C temperature range; both operate on supplies between +3 V and ±5 V.

Eco-Friendly(er) Painting
I recently began a repainting rampage in our house. We built our home 13 years ago and have crummy builder's paint in every room for the entire 13 years. It was frustrating because I couldn't clean the walls or do anything to make them look less than terribly worn. I hesitated to repaint because of [...]

He will attend pre-school at around the age of 3-4 because our daycare has it. My DD was in an in-home daycare and when she was about 2.5 to 3 years old I started her in pre-school a couple days a week. Where she went though it was pre-school in the morning and then daycare the rest of the day so I didn't need to pick her up or anything mid-day.
I don't think there is a need to do it sooner than 3 unless your LO goes to daycare facility that offers it and she is there anyway.
My LOs are in a daycare center. They start to do preschool curriculum when they are 2y9m (if they are potty trained they can go into the 3-4y room early). That's when DD started.
DD has received 2 sessions of preschool per week since that time, and we are bumping her up to 3 sessions in the fall. So she will have 3x per week for a full year before starting kindergarten.
DD has been with family or friends since I went back to work when she was 4 months old. Now, my SAHM friend is going back to work herself, so my DD is starting part-time (3 days/week) at a small day care center next week.
She is not even 2 yet, so she'll be in the toddler room, but at 3, if she's still there, she'll move up to the preschool room (3-4 year olds). DD is fascinated by the whole idea of school, so we're going with that for now and calling her day care school. The toddler room has a loose curriculum (circle times, table times, etc.), but like I said, it's very loose - they're 18 months - 3 year olds! The other thing we've discussed a little bit is sending DD to montessori school from when she's 3 - kindergarten, but we'll see.
J234:Our daycare has semistructured activities for the toddlers... nbsp;art, stories, music, flash cards, drawing, blocks, babies, etc. nbsp;They don't force them though. nbsp;For example, the other day DD was sitting in a cubby with Elmo while the other kids were listening to a story. nbsp;

Home > Carr Center Reserch Focus
The Carr Center Human Rights to Water and Sanitation Program focuses on two key areas: (1) Progressive Realization of the Human Rights to Water and Sanitation; and (2) Business and the Human Rights to Water and Sanitation.
1. Progressive Realization of the Human Rights to Water and Sanitation
The Carr Center seeks to help governments understand how to progressively realize the human rights to water and sanitation. The concept of "progressive realization" comes from the International Covenant for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which requires each state to take steps "to the maximum of its available resources, with a view to achieving progressively the full realization of the rights . . . " Through research and engagement with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the Human Rights to Water and Sanitation Program is examining a variety of issues that will help elucidate how to achieve the progressive realization of the human rights to water and sanitation. Key questions that the Carr Center is investigating include:
In addition to addressing the broader questions outlined in the prior section, the Carr Center is conducting country case studies. For example, it is examining how Iraq's constitutional requirement to ensure the "just distribution" of water could be interpreted consistently with the human right to water, which, in light of the ethnic and sectarian strife within the country, could have a positive influence on the allocation of water. The Carr Center is also researching the implications of a recent Israeli Supreme Court ruling in a case brought by six residents, representing 70 individuals, of unrecognized Bedouin villages in Israel that the right to water is a basic human right deserving constitutional protection by virtue of the right to human dignity.
Next year, the Carr Center is planning to conduct an in-depth study of Bolivia, which has played an important role in the global human right to water movement, but is now wrestling with how to fulfill its own constitutional promise of a human right to water forall. In light of the Special Rapporteur's recent mission to the U.S. and the passage of a human right to water bill in California, the Carr Center also anticipates examining the progressive realization of these rights in the United States.
2. Business & the Human Rights to Water and Sanitation:
The Carr Center is examining how the human rights to water and sanitation are influencing the actions of transnational corporations that engage in water-intensive activities. In 2011, the UN Human Rights Council endorsed the "Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights: Implementing the United Nations 'Protect, Respect and Remedy' Framework" proposed by UN Special Representative John Ruggie, who is also the Berthold Beitz Professor in Human Rights and International Affairs at the Harvard Kenney School. The recognition by the UN of the human right to water and sanitation in 2010 and of the "Protect, Respect and Remedy" guidelines in 2011 has created an important moment in time to investigate the intersection of these two frameworks.
Through research and engagement with both NGOs and the private sector, the Carr Center is exploring how the adoption of human rights to water and sanitation policies by large-scale water service providers and users of water can lead to improved "respect" for these rights, and "remedies" where violations occur. For example, two Carr Center Fellows recently submitted comments on a draft of the Annotated Outline of the UN CEO Water Mandate's Operational Guidance for Businesses on the Human Right to Water and Sanitation. The Carr Center has also assisted an NGO in its efforts to help a large beverage company with its corporate responsibility strategy in relation to the human right to water.

OAKLAND, Calif. Victor Cruz Red Jersey . —Bartolo Colon finally received some early run support from his Oakland teammates. He didnt need much at all as it turned out, even if his fastball was lacking its regular zip. The 39-year-old Colon scattered seven hits over eight innings, extending his shutout streak to 16 1-3 innings and leading the Athletics to a 4-1 win over the slumping Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday night. "Early in the game I didnt know if he had his best stuff, to tell you the truth," As manager Bob Melvin said. "I dont know if our gun was off today, but you saw a lot of 86s, 87s (mph), which you dont normally see out of him. But he finds a way. He makes you make the adjustment." Colon (8-8) didnt do much out of the ordinary while winning his second consecutive start. The right-hander relied primarily on his fastball, changing speeds just enough to keep the Blue Jays off balance. He retired 15 of 18 during one stretch and pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the sixth by getting Rajai Davis to ground out. Colon had three strikeouts and one walk. The As staked him to a 3-0 lead following Josh Reddicks two-run homer in the third. Thats something Oakland hasnt done much with Colon on the mound. In 12 of his 21 previous starts, the As were held to two runs or fewer, "I dont pay much attention to it," said Colon, who has not allowed a run since the fourth inning against the New York Yankees on July 22. "Its more important for me to do the best that I can when Im on the mound and let the team do whatever they want." Brandon Inge and Seth Smith also drove in runs for the As, who improved to 14-5 since the All-Star break. Oakland, held to no more than one run in three of its previous four games, moved past the Los Angeles Angels into second place in the AL West. The As are 4 1/2 games behind Texas. The Blue Jays have lost five straight, matching their season high. "Were in a stretch where runs are at a premium," Toronto manager John Farrell said. "Its difficult to string hits together right now. You have to credit Colon. He stayed out of the middle of the plate." Colby Rasmus, Edwin Encarnacion and Yunel Escobar had two hits apiece for Toronto. Eric Sogard singled leading off the third, went to second on a wild pitch and scored on Smiths single to right. Reddick followed with his 23rd home run, a towering shot into the bleachers above the right-field scoreboard to give Oakland a 3-0 lead. "(Colon) has done great all year and we havent gotten him the run support that he deserves, so for me to be able to do that was huge," said Reddick, who was mired in a career-worst 0-for-21 slump before singling in the first. "I went home last night and had a long talk with (my) dad, and it seemed to work out." The As missed an opportunity to add on when Davis misplayed Coco Crisps fly to left. Davis appeared to lose the ball in the lights as it sailed past his glove and rolled to the fence. Crisp, who slowed to a trot on his way to first, raced to third but was stranded there after Brandon Moss later grounded out with the bases loaded. Colon did the rest. Henderson Alvarez (7-8) struggled with his control and lost for the second time in six decisions. He had a career-high five walks, pitched with runners on base in all but one of his five-plus innings, and struck out one. Oakland made it 4-0 in the seventh when Inge singled home Chris Carter to extend his hitting streak to 12 games. The Blue Jays scored in the ninth to avoid the shutout. David Cooper doubled leading off against Sean Doolittle, went to third on Davis infield single and scored two batters later on Moises Sierras groundout. Four of Torontos 10 hits didnt leave the infield. NOTES: Smith, the As DH, left the game after straining his left hamstring trying to run out a comebacker in the fifth inning. ... Escobar has hit safely in 10 of his last 11 games. ... Oakland SS Cliff Pennington (left elbow) may begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, but the team has no plans to call him up soon. "Well probably ease into it a little bit," Melvin said. ... Oakland made a pair of roster moves, adding INF Adam Rosales from Sacramento while INF Brandon Hicks was optioned down. Hicks was batting.183 with three home runs and seven RBIs in 20 games. ... Rookie RHP Dan Straily will make his first major league start for the As on Friday. Straily has more strikeouts (175) than any other pitcher in professional baseball, including major league leader Stephen Strasburg of the Washington Nationals. LHP Brett Cecil (2-4) goes for Toronto. Chase Blackburn Womens Jersey . Castrillon scored his third goal of the season on a headeer in the 61st minute, and Rivero added his first MLS goal in the 74th. Brian Mullan assisted on both goals. Colorado improved to 5-5-0, and Dallas dropped to 3-4-3. Martellus Bennett Elite Jersey . The 2014 Olympics might still be almost two years away, but its currently front of mind for the man in charge of assembling Team Canada. http://www.newyorkgiantsgears.com/victor-cruz-jersey/ .J. Kennington is ready jump into his comfort zone. Eli Manning Giants Jersey . Clijsters physiotherapist, Sam Versleghers, said the 29-year-old Belgian felt the injury on Thursday during her tough two-set quarterfinal against Francesca Schiavone. The announcement came just hours before Clijsters was due to play Urszula Radwanska, who subsequently advanced to the final. Hakeem Nicks Authentic Jersey . But one of the leagues more outspoken individuals kept his cards close to his vest when it came to the potential labour stoppage. "The leagues doing all the talking about the collective bargaining agreement," Burke told reporters. MILWAUKEE —Having hit for the cycle less than two weeks ago, Aaron Hill had a plan for when he came up with a shot at a second one. Well, as much as one can plan for the rare batting feat. "You cant think about it," he said. "You look for a ball up and hope things work out." It did. Hill hit for the cycle for the second time in 12 days and Ian Kennedy pitched seven strong innings, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 9-3 victory over the Brewers on Friday night. Hill also singled, doubled, tripled and homered on June 18 against Seattle. Brooklyns Babe Herman is the only other major leaguer to hit for two cycles in one season since 1900, according to STATS LLC. He accomplished the feat in 1931. "A cycle is one of those crazy things and to do it twice in (12) days—thats crazy," Brewers starter Randy Wolf said. Hill doubled for his 1,000th hit in the first, singled in the third and hit his 11th home run of the season, a two-run shot in the fourth. All those hits came off Wolf (2-6). Hill tripled in the sixth inning off Livan Hernandez. His headfirst slide into third easily beat the relay throw from the outfield. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke wasnt surprised by Hills hitting prowess. "He can really hit," Roenicke said. "This is a really good hitter. We made some bad pitches." Brewers catcher George Kottaras appreciated the pressure Hill was under. Last season, Kottaras became the seventh player in franchise history to hit for the cycle, "Hes swinging really well," Kottaras said. "I know its tough to do it once." Hill seemed a bit dumbfounded by, but still happy with his good fortune. "Its great," the Diamondbacks second baseman said. "Obviously, its great to get the win, too. It wouldnt have been as enjoyable if we came away with a loss. It was just a fun game." Paul Goldschmidt came close to hitting for the cycle, too. He doubled, homered, singled and walked before a fan interfered with his hard grounder down the left field line in the ninth. Goldschmidt most likely would not have made third even without the spectators glove deflecting the ball. Kennedy (6-7) allowed a ruun in the first, but then kept Milwaukee off the board until the sixth when he created his own jam that led to two unearned runs. Jason Pierre-Paul Red Jersey. Rickie Weeks tapped back to the mound and Kennedys wide throw pulled the first baseman off the bag for an error. After he walked Kottaras, Cesar Izturis doubled off the wall in deep right-centre. Kennedy gave up six hits, walked one and struck out seven, including five in a row as he rebounded from his previous start at home against the Chicago Cubs. He went a season low-tying 4 1-3 innings Saturday, allowing five runs and 10 hits. He was also much better this time against the Brewers who beat him 7-1 on May 25 when he allowed four runs on seven hits in 5 2-3 innings. It was his first start at Miller Park since pitching six innings in the decisive Game 5 of the NL division series on Oct. 7. Nyjer Morgans RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning off J.J. Putz gave Milwaukee a 3-2 victory and the Brewers playoff series win in 29 years. Wolf allowed five runs on five hits in the third. He failed to retire any of the first five batters and that collapse cost him a chance at his first victory since April 30, a span of 11 starts. After the first two hitters reached on hits, Justin Upton and Jason Kubel followed with run-scoring singles. Goldschmidt then cleared the bases with his 11th homer of the season. Hills two-run homer in the fourth came after Willie Bloomquist reached on second baseman Weeks throwing error. Wolf went a season-low tying four innings. He was charged with seven earned runs on nine hits and struck out six. Aramis Ramirezs run-scoring groundout gave Wolf a brief 1-0 lead in the first, but after that it was all Diamondbacks. NOTES: Brewers RHP Shaun Marcum probably wont pitch until after the All-Star game. During a pre-game throwing session, he continued to experience right elbow tightness. The right-hander (5-3, 3.39 ERA) last pitched on June 14 and has missed two starts since. ... Arizona has won two consecutive games away from home after snapping a season-high four-game road skid with Thursdays 3-2 victory over Atlanta. ... Hill became the sixth Diamondback to hit for the cycle. ' ' '

It Can Be Done! is focusing its initial efforts and resources on a clean water system for the people of Uru, at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. This rain forested region lies above the town of Moshi and encompasses 12 villages set on low mountainous terrain. Our goal is to support clean water access and distribution to the approximately 30,000 people in this area.
Women and children suffer greatly from the lack of access to clean water. They climb and walk 2 to 5 hours a day on precariously steep trails, carrying water in 5 gallon buckets on their heads. Many resort to collecting water that runs down the mountain in the open furrows designed for irrigation or drainage. These furrows become polluted from pesticides as well as human and animal contaminants, with waterborne diseases being common and severe.
Current Project
We are focusing our resources and initial efforts on an immediate relief plan for clean water access in Uru East, Uru North and Uru South covering a total population of 41,397 people, in Moshi rural district, Tanzania. Our goal is to assist the Uru people by drilling water bore holes. Water from these deep water wells will be piped to schools, clinics and community/church centers, for maximum immediate impact.
Phase One includes comprehensive geophysical surveys at each proposed site, contributed and completed by surveyors from the Pangani River Basin Project and donated by the Tanzanian National Government. Detailed plotting of each site for elevation and placement of tanks, recommended pipes and pumps, access to electricity, and material cost quotations have been provided and completed by the DDCA (Drilling and Dam Construction Agency), executive agency under the Tanzanian Minister of Water. Drilling and well construction began in August 2010, resulting in our 'first water' from the Kimocholo Borehole in Uru East.
The development and construction of this sustainable, clean water distribution system, via bore holes, will have immediate and far-reaching effects for the hard working people of Uru. Children will be able to attend school regularly. Women's workloads will be lightened, allowing them greater personal dignity and time to pursue additional means of income. Everyone will enjoy radically improved health with the reduction of water-related illnesses. Our first WATER WELL at Kimocholo has produced a record breaking volume of water… a true MIRACLE WELL… capable of supplying clean drinking water for 5000+ people in Uru East, once the piping/reservoirs are constructed. $10.00 buys 10 feet of pipe for water distribution.

This immediate relief plan for clean water access in Uru is being coördinated with the active assistance of local and national Tanzanian Government Officials, the Tanzanian NGO — The Global Volunteer Programs Kilimanjaro, Uru Ward and Village leaders. Many Tanzanian citizens are volunteering their time and skills, along with numerous American volunteers, to benefit the Uru people. Founded in coöperation and unity, The Uru Water Borehole Project fosters greater cultural understanding and true global community… to benefit us all.
To care for anyone else enough to make their problems one's own, is ever the beginning of one's real ethical development.
