David Pastrnak 'happy for every minute' of experience in NHL debut
|11.25.14 at 9:26 am ET
David Pastrnak wasn't about to complain about ice time or being mixed and matched with different lines. The 18-year-old was just happy to be making his NHL debut Monday night against Sidney Crosby and the Penguins.
The Czech played 10 shifts for a total of seven minutes, 53 seconds, with three missed shots, a hit, a takeaway and a giveaway in Boston's 3-2 overtime loss to Pittsburgh.
The soft-spoken first-round pick reminded many of David Krejci afterward, speaking softly but admitting that he was indeed a little nervous getting the call up.
"A little bit for sure, but I said I just tried to play for the team and tried to do my best for the win and play my game," Pastrnak said. "I think we played hard. We battled hard and tried to go to the net but it wasn't enough. I tried to my best for the team and enjoy the time and enjoy the game."
Coach Claude Julien mixed and matched Pastrnak on different lines Monday, taking advantage of the very fluid situation caused by the numerous injuries and limiting Brad Marchand, who was playing his first game back since coming off the injured reserve list.
5 things we learned as Bruins fell to Penguins in overtime
|11.24.14 at 9:41 pm ET
In a perfect world, Milan Lucic would play with a healthy David Krejci and the two would anchor Boston's top offensive line. With Krejci still battling through lower-body issues that have dogged him all season, that can't happen and Boston's best bet is skating Lucic on Carl Soderberg's line and bumping that up to being the team's second line.
On Monday, that line was very effective for Boston. Matched up against Evgeni Malkin's line, the Lucic-Soderberg-Eriksson trio created numerous scoring chances, one of which led to a Lucic goal that started with Soderberg sending a spin-o-rama pass behind his back to Eriksson down low.
Malkin would strike on a second-period power-play goal, however, and would then provide the overtime dagger against Patrice Bergeron's line in Pittsburgh's 3-2 overtime win.
Soderberg appeared to have a goal later in the second period when a rebound of a Lucic tip went off him and into the net, but it was ruled no goal after officials concluded that Soderberg had knocked the puck in with his hand.
Here are four other things we learned Monday:
The Bruins had trouble getting to the net Saturday against the Canadiens. They had trouble getting away with being in front of the net Monday.
A Patrice Bergeron goal was disallowed in the first period after it was determined that he knocked a rebound from Marc-Andre Fleury into the net with a high stick. The rule on the ice was a goal, but the other three officials ruled it no goal, with the replay confirming that Bergeron's stick was above the cross bar.
That worst of it came later in the period, when Reilly Smith was the victim of a goaltender interference call. With Dougie Hamilton taking a shot from the point, Smith went to the net and was shoved into Fleury at the top of the crease. It was a tough break for Smith, who couldn't get out of the way.
Bruins send Seth Griffith to Providence as Brad Marchand comes off injured reserve
|11.24.14 at 4:38 pm ET
The Bruins assigned forward Seth Griffith to Providence Monday, an indication that Brad Marchand could be nearing a return to the lineup. Marchand was taken off injured reserve prior to Monday's game against the Penguins.
With Marchand off IR, the Bruins would have been over their roster limit of 23 players. By sending Griffith down, the team avoided exposing a player to waivers. Griffith is tied for the team lead with five goals, so there's a chance he won't be in Providence for long. The Bruins' next game after Monday is Friday.

David Pastrnak hopes added weight makes him strong enough for NHL
|11.24.14 at 1:03 pm ET
David Pastrnak obviously isn't close to being the player he'll one day be at the NHL level, but the usual shortcomings of a young skilled player are all worth overlooking for the 2014 first-round pick. The only true road block on the ice for Pastrnak playing in Boston this year was going to be his size.
"To throw someone [in] at that age, at that weight…" Peter Chiarelli said, making a face when speaking at the conclusion of July's development camp. "But there's been guys that have done it."
The 5-foot-10 right wing weighed 165 pounds when the Bruins got their hands on him in June's draft. He was offensively sensational at points during a rookie tournament in Tennessee in September, but he didn't seem well-suited for board work and was easily pushed away from the net by opposing defensemen. In his second NHL practice, he suffered a shoulder injury on a check from Matt Bartkowski.
Now, after dazzling at the AHL level with five goals and 13 assists for 18 points through 17 games for Providence thus far and being named the AHL's Rookie of the Month in October, Pastrnak is in Boston and preparing for what could be his NHL debut Monday night against the Penguins.
He's shown that he has adjusted to the smaller ice in North America after growing up in the Czech Republic and playing the last two years in Sweden, but as he heads to the NHL, the questions of whether he can handle the physicality of hockey's toughest league aren't going away.
Pastrnak hopes he can help answer those questions after putting on some weight in Providence. He said he's bulked up a bit in Providence, guessing that he is currently up to 176 pounds and that the extra weight feels good.
"I feel a lot stronger on the puck and around the boards and in battling," Pastrnak said. "I think it helps me. I like it. I didn't lose my speed so much. That's what I was looking for."
Pastrnak skated on a line with Jordan Caron and Alexander Khokhlachev in Monday's morning skate. That has been his line in Providence this season, so the trio at least has familiarity going for it.
When asked about the 18-year-old's development, Claude Julien spoke about the strides Pastrnak has made as a defensive player. Pastrnak has long looked up to David Krejci, a Czech player who he feels is capable of being dominant offensively while also being responsible in his own zone.
"I think, right now, that's what David is trying to learn in Providence," Julien said. "We know how dynamically he makes things happen. He's a skill player, can score goals but we don't expect perfection but you have to be at least a little bit reliable defensively.
"That's what he's working on over there and he's gotten better, so that's where we're at with him and I guess, like you guys, I'm going to find out a little bit more about him if he plays tonight."
Carl Soderberg, Tuukka Rask get into light altercation at Bruins morning skate
|11.24.14 at 11:53 am ET
Claude Julien had to break up a light altercation between Tuukka Rask and Carl Soderberg in Monday's morning skate after Soderberg responded to a slash from the goaltender with a shove.
Soderberg was in Rask's face when Julien skated over and yelled to separate the two players. Rask is no stranger to losing his temper in practice (he's stormed off the ice multiple times over the years), but hard feelings have never seemed to linger with the goaltender, who has long been popular among his teammates.
After the morning skate, Rask indicated that he and Soderberg were fine.
"Yeah," Rask said with a laugh. "Something for you guys to write about."
Julien was asked about the tussle and, predictably, said all was well.
"It wasn't even a tussle," Julien said. "They've already kissed and made up, so it's not an issue."

Chris Kelly and David Krejci remain out, Bruins have multiple game-time decisions vs. Penguins
|11.24.14 at 11:50 am ET
David Krejci and Chris Kelly remain out for the Bruins as they face the Penguins Monday night. Both players were absence from morning skate, with Claude Julien saying afterwards that Krejci has taken a step backwards with his injury and that Kelly is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury.
Brad Marchand is also a game-time decision for the Bruins, with Julien saying there are other forwards who could be in or out due to injury. Both David Pastrnak and Jordan Caron were present for the skate. The lines in morning skate were as follows:
Marchand/Fraser – Bergeron – Smith
Lucic – Soderberg – Eriksson
Paille – Campbell – Gagne
Caron – Khokhlachev – Pastrnak/Griffith
Krejci has dealt with multiple lower-body issues. He battled a hip injury earlier in the season and is believed to be nursing a different issue in the same area. Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reported Monday that the current issue is a groin pull. Playing through one issue in that area creates strain on others, so it's possible the current injury is a result of the previous one.
"Right now what I'll tell you is we've taken a step back again," Julien said. "It's something that I can't even go into. It's been way more complicated… again as you know, these are not machines, these guys, and there's certain things you try and fix and then you find out there's a little bit more and nobody knows and nobody should know until you go from one stage to the next.
"The one thing I can tell you is that when he played he was one hundred percent, but we took him out because after that he wasn't one hundred percent anymore. That's where it's tough. You say he's one hundred percent, should you hold him back? I don't believe in holding anybody back because if he's ok the next day then we wasted a game with him, so we're working on that. The only thing I would tell you is that everything I'm being told, it's not something we're going to have to manage all year and I know that's a big issue in wondering what's going on but it's something that's going to be fixed is what I'm being told. So don't shoot the messenger."
Tuukka Rask was the first Bruins goalie off the ice Monday, indicating he will be in net against the Penguins.

Zdeno Chara begins skating, Bruins announce recalls of David Pastrnak, Jordan Caron
|11.24.14 at 10:17 am ET
Zdeno Chara was spotted on the ice at TD Garden by Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald Monday morning, marking the first time the Bruins captain has been seen skating since being declared out with a torn PCL suffered last month.
Chara is four and a half weeks into what the Bruins said would be a 4-6 week recovery. He is one of three defensemen currently out for the Bruins, as Adam McQuaid is expected to miss 5-7 more weeks with a broken thumb and David Warsofsky is nursing a groin strain. Warsofsky was playing in Boston as an injury replacement.
The Bruins also announced the call-ups of David Pastrnak and Jordan Caron Monday morning. Both transactions were made Sunday. For more on the recall of Pastrnak, click here.

Yeah, it was just a sweater she shed, but Olivia Wilde getting rid of clothing is always the best choice, no matter what it is. And she was wearing a sexy tank top underneath, which was a fine choice as well. Poor Liv, being hounded by paps following her through the streets. What does she expect though, looking like that? Hell, these probably aren't even from a paparazzi. Maybe it was some schlub tourist, taking shitty pics of his ugly family in front of NYC landmarks, who was suddenly compelled to abandon his spawn and encircle a passing Olivia as she walked to wherever Olivia walks, her siren's call to his stifled, inner photographer compelling him to capture her every movement as an expression of perfect art. Or it could have been some asshole getting paid $50 bucks a pop. Either way, it's a win for us.

Grabner scores 2 goals, Isles beat Sabres 5-2
NOTES: Through a quirk in the schedule, the Sabres and Islanders will meet for a third time in nine days at Long Island on Sunday. The Isles beat Buffalo 5-3 last weekend. ... Sabres RW Patrick Kaleta did not return after the first period after aggravating a left hand injury. Kaleta was only playing his third game since missing seven with a broken left hand. And he had been cleared to play Friday despite hurting the same hand while blocking a shot at Boston on Thursday. ... The Islanders improved to 10-6-2 since ending a 1-17-3 skid. ...

In 1992, the 30th anniversary of Bob Dylan's career was celebrated with a star-studded tribute concert at Madison Square Garden. The entire show was broadcast live on Pay-Per-View and later partially released on CD and VHS. 22 years later, The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration is receiving a deluxe reissue on DVD/Blu-ray and a new CD from Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings.
The reissue will feature performances by the likes of Neil Young, Lou Reed, Eric Clapton, The Band, Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, Willie Nelson, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready, Stevie Wonder, and what would be the last public performance by George Harrison. Every performer covers a Dylan classic, while the man himself appears for a few songs solo and with guests.
A reissue of the concert has been in the works for years, but only recently was the rights red tape overcome. "[The footage] had been sitting in Japan at NHK," an insider told Rolling Stone. "Japan was an early adopter in HD and they had HD cameras at the event. What you're seeing now is their cut of the show, which nobody had ever seen before."
This footage includes a previously unreleased soundcheck recording of Sinead O'Connor covering "I Believe in You" and also her being heckled off the stage and into Kris Kristofferson's arms after fighting through "War"; O'Connor's infamous SNL appearance where she tore up a picture of the Pope had occurred just days before. But other parts of the show were left out of the reissue, like Neil Young's cover of "Forever Young", due to time constraints, and Dylan's acoustic performance of "Song to Woody". "As frustrating at this sounds, his guitar wasn't recorded," the source told Rolling Stone. "All you're hearing is a faint guitar and Bob's voice and we just couldn't use that."

The explosion of interest in the Internet puts stress on what was originally designed as a research and education network. The sheer number of users is requiring new strategies for Internet address allocation; multimedia applications are requiring greater bandwidth and strategies such as "resource reservation" to provide synchronous end-to-end service.In this series of eight interviews, Carl Malamud talks to some of the researchers who are working to define how the underlying technology of the Internet will need to evolve in order to meet the demands of the next five to ten years.

Claudia will also go on the search for her brother, leaving Agrippa's room mate, Damma, to sort out all the preparations for the Gladiator Games.Sextus eventually locates Octavianus and sends two large brutes to deal with him; but Octavianus manages to hold his own by setting the brutes trowels aflame with a torch. Claudia arrives soon after to then try and talk sense into her brother, and at the very least help Octavianus escape.Sextus isn't heard or seen of afterwards till very near the end, were he unleashes a large scale assault on the coliseum just after Agrippa beats Antonius, who was revealed to be the true mastermind behind Julius Caesar's assassination.Agrippa, now given back his rank as a Centurion soldier, gives chase along with Claudia leading them to Sextus' ship. Sextus first knocks Claudia unconscience leaving Agrippa to fight one on one against his former mentor. Agrippa will triumph against the pirate, much to the dismay of Claudia, but it will be Antonius who kills him via a collapsing tower, that is shot down by one of Sextus' own battle ships, that lands on Sextus.

Treepods air-scrubbers could clean up Boston
By Paul Ridden
March 8, 2011
Heading away from the use of polluting fossil fuels towards sustainable clean energy, we are discovering more and more novel ways to use or harness the wind. Even though solar panels have become almost commonplace, we're still seeing the technology being pushed into new ground. More projects are surfacing that harvest energy from the oceans. Meanwhile, we're also coming up with inventive ways to monitor pollution. Now an initiative from Mario Caceres and Cristian Canonico of the Influx Studio in Paris, working with SHIFTboston, is looking to roll out a man-made forest of air-cleaning Treepods throughout Boston ... which are powered by solar and kinetic energy.
SHIFTboston is an incentive aimed at focusing new, exciting, innovative and environmentally responsible ideas to transform Boston into a more dynamic city. Hoping to help the city of Boston reduce its carbon dioxide, Caceres and Canonico from Influx Studio in Paris have come up with what they describe as a CO2-scrubbing living machine called Treepods, that is said to "embody and artificially enhance the capacity of trees to clean the air."
The carbon dioxide removal process used by Treepods is based on technology developed by Dr Klaus Lackner, director of the Lenfest Center for Sustainable Energy at Columbia University. It enables the energy-efficient capture of carbon dioxide from air. He was inspired by his daughter's prize-winning 8th grade project which successfully extracted carbon dioxide from the air using a fish tank pump and a battery, and proceeded to create a machine which cleansed the air like a living tree.
Influx Studio says that an eco-friendly, alkaline resin within the Treepods structure will react with the air around it and strip it of carbon dioxide. The cleansed air will then be free to go on its way. When this CO2-drenched resin reacts with water it will then release the carbon dioxide for storage.
Treepods would be made from recycled and recyclable plastics, such as the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) commonly used to make water bottles, and would be modular. The designers see the structures taking on three different modular shapes – a single isolated unit, three units together to form a hexagonal structure, and a group of Treepods to create an urban canopy. The intention would be to create a network of Treepods to embrace the whole of Boston.
The appearance of the Treepods was inspired by Dracaena cinnabari or the Dragon Blood Tree. Its umbrella-shaped canopy offers the perfect wide platform to hold the solar-tracking photovoltaic cells that will provide the Treepods with energy to power the air cleaning system and the myriad lighting on alveoli-like branches. Not all of the energy requirements could be met by solar power alone, so the designers also propose installing some sort of playing device, such as a seesaw which could harvest the kinetic energy of play.
In addition to providing the public with some shade, Treepods would also encourage interaction and learning, displaying augmented reality information about the decarbonization process or more general educational information.
Whether the Treepods will actually be planted throughout the Boston area remains to be seen. We'll be keeping an eye on this project and will keep you posted.
\"Treepods would also encourage interaction and learning, displaying augmented reality information about the decarbonization process or more general educational information.\"
Why not just put an LSD dispenser out in the park so the same hippies can dance around in eco-induced joy? Obviously a lot of them are in Boston with lots of extra money and time on their hands.
Has it become suddenly cool to come up with the most idiotic nonsense as long as it is eco-themed? Objects like this, with no value or utility whatsoever seem to popping up, justified by including the word \'carbon\' somewhere in the description.
There are so many other great inventions on gizmag with serious application value, but don\'t have a chance without a leaf-shaped logo to appeal to the sub-80 IQ trendies.Todd Dunning
I agree. What an absolute waste of space and time. REMOVING carbon dioxide from the AIR???? So all the CO2 that trees and every living organism on earth EXHALE will be reabsorbed by these gizmos??? What a CROCPG
paulgo: trees intake c02 from the air and pump out oxygen as a waste product which is what we need to exist. I think this idea is like those useless Japanese ideas that just don\'t make any sense at all and will never see the light of day.
My advice to these inventors is if they want to reduce carbon, plant some trees and tell industry to stop chopping them down!Denis Klanac
99 ... 100 ... change handssplatman
The point of these trees is perhaps to collect CO2!
Not just capture it slowly in a tree.
C)2 is mostly produced in cities and if you want to cpature it it makes sense to do this where its made.
In the future we might be using Co2 to create FUEL from Solar dishes that split water H20 and then recombine the H\" with CO2 to create a BioDiesel.
If this does take off then collecting CO2 will be part of that process. These trees might well be the part of the fuel of the future.
Like the initial idea of using resin and then water to collect it. There would need to be a method of getting the CO2 out of the water and compressing it for transport. Might take too much energi, so it would be better to have these trees in amongst the solar dishes in the dessert.
Perhaps there could be a dual function.. Perhaps they could collect dew and store or drain it into the ground. maybe there could be a real tree growing in the centre. Like an OAk or Giant Red Wood..

I would not live in Boston for any reason, but it is good to see that even a hide bound, grunting, luddite curmudgeon understands the value of LSD.Robert Walther
So, this concept has what advantages over planting real trees? I mean, if someone wants to put up a few of these as art as you would with a statue or sculpture, I see no problem with that but, to promote them as a way to make a serious dent in CO2 in a city while simply planting more real, living trees would do a much better job for a much lower price and with far better aesthetics, seems poorly thought out at best.Mark Dixon
So- we are going to spend tens of thousands of dollars creating artificial trees to feed off Co2???Just plant the REAL THING for heavens sake! They will do a far better job and need far less maintenance, never break down and not cost an arm and leg to maintain...what a waste of time and money so someone can \"feel good\" about technology...Facebook User
wtf!?!?!?.....soooo dumb.....and UGLY!!! Just plant trees for pity sake. Reminds me of the lyrics from Joni Mitchell....\"pave paradise, put up a parking lot\"mrkim
rgwalther, glad you\'re happy about the LSD part - but the word \'luddite\' applies to those who hate technology.
And what better definition of a luddite than right here - to harness technology to do something profanely useless? Here we have a designer who is so luddite he can\'t even figure out forward-thinking applications, unlike the rest of gizmodo articles.
Since I\'m a \'curmudgeon\' for pointing out this little detail, I prefer that to being a trendoid greenie to whom \'technology\' is defined only by its eco-political correctness.Todd Dunning
You would expect eco-kooks to like trees. After all, trees absorb carbon dioxide, which is harmless, but held to be a pollutant according to moonbat ideology. But being liberals, they can never leave well enough alone, preferring instead to replace trees (no doubt at public expense) with preposterous pseudo-trees. But Treepods are even more enviro-friendly than real trees because they don\'t replace the carbon dioxide with oxygen, which only encourages humans who breathe it to exhale more carbon dioxide. Also, Treepods are made of recyclable polyethylene terephthalate. This is fortunate, since it won\'t be long before they are recycled into something more useful, like disposable water bottles. Maybe the idea is to cause visiting Yankees to laugh so hard that the Red Sox will be able to handle themFacebook User
Lemme get this straight: SHIFTboston wants to remove trees, which absorb CO2 and turn it into energy for the tree to live and oxygen for all non-plant life, and replace them with artificial plastic constructs that capture CO2 until it rains, at which point it\'ll just go back into the atmosphere to join whatever CO2 was exhaled by non-plant life forms? Oh, it has little LEDs underneath and they\'re powered by solar panels, so that makes it OK.
I thought environmentalists LIKED trees, thought we didn\'t have enough of them because big eeeeevil corporations keep clear-cutting forests to build oil derricks or houses or farms or something else useless. How \"green\" are the companies responsible for building these fake trees? How many endangered species will be displaced from their habitats to clear space for the facilities to build these stupid things?Nelson Butterworth
Why not Boston raise the metered parking to... $100/hour, this way they\' ll have plenty of money to set up a CO2 removing plant, ha??? Eventhough this trees structures work, then it would be stupid that they cant get all the power from sun and they need some kids to to play on a seasaw just for making more power. Cm\' on, in Boston best thing is use some device make energy from falling snow, there\' s plenty of this whitish thing there, or just utilize the wind. DID YOU EVEN FIGURE OUT THAT THERE IS NO SUN IN BOSTON? IT HARDLY MAKES ANY SUN EVEN THE LAST TWO MONTHS OF SUMMER. WHAT IDIOTS ARE GOING TO PUT SOLAR PANELS IN BOSTON??Chris7527
I joked a few years ago that what we need was an invention that took CO2 from the air and turnd it into a useful product, provided shade and habitat for animals and could be recycled into a building product. The Joke being well it has existed for melinnia, its called a tree. Not so funny when someone actually thinks it is better to crerate at great expense (money, time, resourced and energy) to do soemthing that can be otherwise created by the simple act of planting. Its amazing how we can make things more complicated then they really need to be.Reece Agland
OMG, yup, here is yet another completely environmentally un-helpful idea. Sure in theory it may do as it says, but hmm, trees have been around much longer and do a pretty good job, plus you can cut them down and use them to make houses once they\'re full of CO2.. What\'s really frustrating with these so called scientists is that they are missing the whole point of tackling issues from the source of the problem, putting another band-aid on a problem isn\'t going to fix it. The problem is simple.. HUMANS ARE PUMPING TOO MUCH CO2 INTO THE ATMOSPHERE! reduce the amount of CO2 emission\'s and the CO2 problems will slowly go away like magic. What this entails is to use renewable energy sources and use electric cars. ALL CAR COMPANIES SUCK AS THEY THROW AWAY SUCH TECHNOLOGY. go watch \'Who killed the electric car\' to see what I mean. Do not take this for face value, go and research for yourself or you might as well FOADTimbo
Silly, but some of the basic ideas here will be utilized in more useful technology. Topographical analysis to make most efficiently branching structures integrated with microbial bioreactors, yada yada.CLGroves

Pakistan's Musharraf in court for first time to face treason charges
Published on Feb 18, 2014 4:30 PM
ISLAMABAD (AFP) - Pakistan's former military ruler Pervez Musharraf arrived at court on Tuesday for the first time to face charges in a treason case he has denounced as a score-settling exercise by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
The 70-year-old arrived in a heavily protected cavalcade at the National Library in Islamabad where the court has been holding hearings, an AFP photographer said.
No former military leader has appeared in court before and the trial is seen as a test of the supremacy of civilian rule in a country governed for more than half its history by the army after three coups.
Musharraf faces treason charges, which can carry the death penalty, over his suspension of the constitution and imposition of a state of emergency in 2007 while he was president.

Kenya's plans for its children.
Fifteen children is a big family even in Kenya, a country that as recently as a decade ago was thought to have the highest population growth rate in the world: 4 percent. Since 1948, when Kenya's first census was taken, the population has grown from 5 million to 26 million--a staggering fivefold increase. In the early 1980s, experts both inside and outside the country were predicting growth of the same magnitude for several more decades.
That's why the 1989 Demographic and Health Survey came as a shock. The DHS, produced by the U.S.-based consulting firm Macro International and Kenya's National Council for Population and Development, showed that the country's total fertility rate--the average number of children a woman will bear in her lifetime--had declined from 8.1 to 6.7. The 1993 DHS showed a further decline to 5.4. A 33 percent drop in the rate over the course of only 15 years is one of the most precipitous declines ever measured. Kenya's population growth rate had started to fall: it now stands at about 3 percent. What lay behind the changing numbers?
Kenyans had always had large families. Only a few decades ago, a high child mortality rate meant that parents had to have many babies, to insure the survival of some. But it wasn't just a matter of survival: marriages were polygamous, and family size reflected the affluence of the father. A large family was the mark of a wealthy man--one who could pay the substantial dowry required for each wife, and support all their offspring.
Two of my great grandfathers were apparently rather affluent: one had eight wives, while the other had 12. In the traditional economy, children were regarded as an unqualified blessing--as a source of free labor that would allow a family to cultivate more land or raise a bigger herd. Large families were a kind of pension as well, a way of guaranteeing the parents comfortable care in their old age.
But traditional society has been reshaped by western influences. Western medicine, for instance, has radically reduced child mortality rates. In 1963, the year Kenya won independence from Great Britain, more than 120 of every 1,000 babies failed to see their first birthday; 200 did not live to be five. Today those numbers have fallen to 62 and 95 respectively. In most countries, a drop in child mortality before age five is accompanied by a drop in the number of children per family, presumably because parents are more confident their children will survive to adulthood. But that didn't happen in Kenya. Part of the reason may be that the spread of monogamy--another western trend--had diluted a tradition that once protected mothers from becoming pregnant too often. In the polygamous unions, mothers were expected to abstain from sex for at least a year after childbirth, and sometimes until the infant was weaned--which could occur as late as the third birthday. The long intervals between births gave the mother time to recover from pregnancy and guaranteed the new-born plenty of attention. The loss of this long post-partum abstinence period, combined with a low rate of contraceptive use, tended to keep the birth rate high.
But as the population continued to grow, other factors came into play. As the amount of arable land per capita shrank, children were no longer needed in the fields, which in any case could feed fewer of them. The expenses of formal education and western medicine--both increasingly perceived as necessities--greatly increased the cost of raising a family. And in the late 1980s, those burdens were made heavier by a foundering economy. It was sometime in that decade that the shift began.
From an early date, Kenya's governments had tried to guide the demographic transition. Alarmed by the 1948 census, which showed a rapidly growing population, the colonial government encouraged medical practitioners to provide family planning services. After independence, Kenya became one of the first sub-Saharan countries to adopt a population policy. But as recently as 1984, the government still hadn't made a dent in the growth rate, as Vice President Mwai Kibaki conceded at the second World Population Conference held that year in Mexico City. Progress didn't come until the government and the nongovernmental organizations involved in family planning began to decentralize their programs--and to work out more effective ways of distributing contraceptives, particularly in rural areas.
In 1977, only 7 percent of married women used contraceptives. Today, that figure is 34 percent. Ninety percent of married people approve of contraception in principle, know of at least one method, and know where contraceptives can be obtained. There has also been a radical shift to modern methods, which now account for nearly 95 percent of contraceptive use. The most popular methods are the pill and a regime of periodic injections administered to women. These are chosen by 9.5 and 7.2 percent of married women respectively.
The condom is a special case because it is also a means of preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Its popularity is uncertain: among men, 12 percent say they use it; among women, only 0.8 percent. But the threat of AIDS is likely to make it more common. Already, 700,000 people are infected with HIV; by the year 2000, that number is expected to be 1.6 million. The most common means of transmission is heterosexual contact, so the infection is split about equally between the sexes. About four of every 10 Kenyans know someone with AIDS; two people I knew in high school recently died from it. Until recently, condoms were never openly sold. Today, you can buy them from vending machines. Uchumi, a national chain of department stores, sells condoms beside its alcohol stalls.
But much remains to be done. According to the 1993 DHS, some 26 percent of women would like to space their childbirths farther apart, while another 52 percent don't want any more children at all. If unwanted births could be eliminated entirely, the total fertility rate would drop another two points, from 5.4 to 3.4. It's clear, then, that many couples who would benefit from contraceptives still aren't using them. There are several reasons for this. Health clinics are often too far away and clinic lines can be discouragingly long. For the more complex contraceptives like the pill, information on side effects can be hard to come by, and women who experience anything unusual often discontinue use.
To alleviate these problems, the government has established a Community-Based Distribution (CBD) program. In keeping with the effort to decentralize family planning, the program works with local leaders to help them meet the needs of their communities. The government invites teachers, traditional birth attendants, and other people in positions of public trust to attend a brief course in family planning techniques. These people are then given contraceptives to distribute, and they can offer advice on how to use them properly. Participation is on a volunteer basis, a cost-cutting measure that greatly contributes to the program's stability.
Through its Information, Education, and Communication program, the CBD is addressing another side effect of social change. Traditionally, a pre-teen boy or girl learned about sex and sexual mores from a closely related adult, usually an aunt. But today, the extended family is disappearing. Parents are often too embarrassed to talk about sex, and teachers don't consider it one of their responsibilities. For fear of being labeled promiscuous, many young people won't venture anywhere near a family planning clinic. Instead, they pick up an incomplete and misleading picture of sex through the media, popular literature, and casual conversation. The IEC program is intended to make sure young people get the family planning message. It publishes pamphlets, conducts workshops, and produces television and radio broadcasts. At present, its TV and radio soap operas, which extol the virtues of small families, reach some 40 percent of the population.
Formal education, too, has played an important--if indirect--part in slowing population growth. In general, demographers find that the more education a woman receives, the fewer children she is likely to bear. Education gives a woman more social and economic options; motherhood becomes only one of many roles that she can play. In Kenya, the 1993 DHS survey found that women with no education or only primary schooling bore six children on average, while those with some secondary schooling averaged four. Contraceptive use follows a parallel trend: from 20 percent of married uneducated women, to 52 percent among those with secondary schooling. Universal primary education is an official government goal, and it has very nearly been achieved: enrollment stood at 98 percent in 1986. Secondary enrollment for that year stood at 20 percent.
Another brake on family size may be the eighth year added to the primary curriculum in 1984. The average age at which young women become sexually active has been rising, perhaps partly because of the extra school year. The "cost sharing" method through which public schools are funded seems to be having an effect as well. Parents pay little or no tuition, but they must pick up the tab for part of the school's maintenance, for uniforms, textbooks, and so forth. The expense seems to be dampening parental desires for more children.
Decades of work have begun to pay off, but a growth rate of 3 percent is still high. Further progress may require some basic changes in Kenya's approach to family planning. The current program assumes that sex begins with marriage, but according to the 1993 DHS, 83 percent of women have had sex by the time they are 20, while only 63 percent are married by that age. The government could reach sexually active youths by including sex education in the school curriculum, perhaps in that final primary year. The program should also be better adapted for male audiences. Men generally know about and approve of contraception, but they still tend to want big families. Recently, a research center was set up in Nakuru, a city northwest of Nairobi, to find ways to increase male participation. Such efforts may eventually broaden the program's reach.
But even in its present form, the Kenyan program has set an important precedent. Kenya has shown that progress in family planning need not await some threshold level of prosperity. Even in the midst of serious economic constraints, growing numbers of couples are having smaller, healthier families.

Border agency force-use report released
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency on Friday released a use-of-force study by an outside group that recommended changes to a range of policies from shooting at vehicles and rock throwers to how investigations are conducted.
The report, by the Police Executive Research Forum, was delivered to the agency in February 2013 but was not publicly released until now.
In a statement, the agency said it was doing so now as part of an emphasis on transparency from its new commissioner, R. Gil Kerlikowske.
The agency also released a revised handbook for agents and officers on the use of force that incorporated the recommendations in the report.
While that handbook adopts many of the recommendations from the study, it does not exactly copy the stricter standards for when officers and agents can use deadly force in incidents involving vehicles and rock throwers. Those are two of the most controversial subjects for which agents with the U.S. Border Patrol and customs have been criticized for using deadly force.
The release of the study comes just a week after the American Civil Liberties Union of San Diego and Imperial Counties filed a lawsuit in federal court asking for a copy. The customs agency had resisted mounting pressure over the past year from civil rights groups and some elected officials to publish it.
San Diego has been the scene of several controversial incidents involving the Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection officers. Four years ago a 42-year-old Mexican man, Anastasio Hernandez Rojas, died after being beaten and Tasered while handcuffed by agents and officers in a struggle at the San Ysidro border crossing. His family is now suing in federal court.
In September 2012 Valerie "Munique" Tachiquin Alvarado was shot to death by a Border Patrol agent. Investigators said she struck an agent with her car as she tried to flee, but her family disputes that account in another lawsuit filed in federal court.
Both incidents were likely considered in the study, which reviewed 67 use-of-force incidents by the agency from 2010 through October 2012 but did not list them.
Overall the study found improvements were needed across the spectrum of agency policy — initial reports, investigations, incident reviews, training and equipment.
It said it found "a number of concerns" in cases involving rock throwers and shots fired at vehicles.
The review recommended that agents and officers should be prohibited from firing at vehicles unless vehicle occupants are attempting to use deadly force — other than the vehicle — against the agent.
The policy in the handbook is stated differently. It says deadly force can be used when there is a fear of imminent injury or death, and that "may include a moving vehicle aimed at officer/agents or others present."
Eugene Iredale, the lawyer for the Tachiquin family, said he was disappointed the policy in the handbook had "watered down" the recommendation in the report.
For rock throwing incidents the difference is more subtle. The report recommended a policy that flatly prohibited using deadly force against people throwing objects that are "not capable of causing serious physical injury or death."

Springbok coach Jake White has taken a leaf out German soccer coach Jürgen Klinsmann's book.
Klinsmann, says White, adopted a defence orientated strategy, whereby not losing became a prerequisite, and it could bring the German's glory on home soil in a month's time.
It is a philosophy he hopes will bring glory to the Boks at the 2007 Rugby World Cup too. Luckily for White he will have a preview of the concept when the German's take on the world at home in the Soccer World Cup starting this weekend.
"When Jürgen took over he decided the Germans were not going to lose anymore. He immediately got his team's defence in order. Germany then started drawing their matches; shaking off their culture of losing," he told Die Volksblad.
"Now the Germans are, with their defence system in place and their attacking play much improved as a result of greater self-confidence, among the favourites to win the World Cup."
White though is taking no chances and has recalled several stalwarts for the first Test against Scotland in Durban. Crucially, Os du Randt returns in the front-row, while only Wynand Olivier lock Johann Muller have yet to earn a Test cap. Both are included on the bench.
Springbok captain John Smit is thrilled with the preparation this week. "There was no Test atmosphere before last week's match against the World XV," he said. "This week's training was completely different. The team is prepared and it feels as if everything has received attention."
"We realise the only way to prepare for the World Cup is to be successful. The match on Saturday will be a tough test because the Scots have already beaten England and France this year," Smit added.

The tennis legend apparently made a young cancer survivor's Make-A-Wish come true at Wimbledon. Beatriz Tinoco, a 18-year-old from Rockville, Md., survived a bout with cancer in 2011 and 2012. Tinoco recently blogged about meeting Federer and posted pictures on Twitter of her tale. (If you want to follow her, click here ). We'll post her entire tale at the bottom, but this young cancer survivor flew to London, played tennis with Federer, went to his press conferences, hang out and banter with her idol on her 18th birthday.

I never expected it to go this far! -- Beatriz (@bktinoco) August 2, 2013 Of course with the good, there always come the cynics. Wow, people saying what Roger did for me was a PR stunt? Really? -- Beatriz (@bktinoco) August 2, 2013 Still, we d...

Distribution of firearms. Gun brokers are generally a great resource for finding special guns and even for selling guns at a good price. They can also be a great resource for completing/ accomplishing interstate firearm transactions. Hence proving profitable for your business which could be a ranch or a small firm.
The broker can be used for finding a special gun. They have wide networking and access to sellers from all over the country and they can help in finding guns of your interest. They can even help to import the guns you have ordered from one state to another. Some they also offer you gun appraisals. Appraisals of guns are especially done for antique ones. He has an extensive library reference material that can be used to date and price your promotional items accurately. Pricing accuracy is important if you want to sell your antique at auction, or if you are interested in insuring your gun collection. A broker may help you provide complete gun auction transactions, as most of the states require gun transactions to be completed by licensed dealers like the gun brokers. Because of this it is illegal for non-licensed residents to sell guns to people in other states, to buy guns from people in other states, and in some cases to buy and sell guns in their own states. You can overcome this problem by taking the help of a broker. Since they are licensed gun dealers they can mediate/ handle the gun transactions as a third party and help you to close your deal.
Having a broker while purchasing a gun always helps you to be on the safe land, as you are going legally under the terms of the law. Going against law will prove to be illegal ensuring the cancellation of license of the broker and lands you up in the custody.
If you have a hobby of gun collection, then it may be a good idea for you to insurance your collection, especially if you have several valuable antique guns in your collection. Before you can insurance your gun collection you will need to have it appraised, which is possible only with the help of a broker. Your gun can be appraised by each piece individually or can be appraised as a single unit. If you plan on selling fire arms then either you need to educate yourself on the new rules and regulations for buying, selling and shipping firearms or you can simply hand it over to the broker who will do-up the whole formalities with ease. Further a gun broker has a lot of role to play while buying or selling the firearms.
