Brazil's Rio fears dengue epidemic as cases rise
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) – An outbreak of dengue
fever in Brazil's tourist mecca of Rio de Janeiro has prompted
the authorities to step up prevention measures, fearing a
repeat of a 2002 epidemic that killed more than 100 people,
officials said on Wednesday.
"We have flare-ups in two districts. It needs to be blocked
urgently, because without such control we have a risk of having
an epidemic again in Rio," Aloisio Ribeiro, head of Rio state
government's Epidemiology Vigilance Center, told Reuters.
Dengue, or Aedes Aegypti, is carried by mosquitoes and
causes severe body pain, fever and headaches. Larvae breed in
stagnant waters, in anywhere from abandoned swimming pools to
flower pots and car tires left in the open air.
State and municipal authorities will launch a task force on
Thursday to combat the disease with vehicle-mounted insecticide
sprayers and inspections of private homes and courtyards.
Hundreds of workers will be sent to find and destroy larvae
that breed in stagnant water.
One of the affected districts is upscale oceanside Barra da
Tijuca. Barra and neighboring Jacarepagua accounted for over
250 dengue cases out of 328 registered in Rio last month, and
there were similar rates in January. December's total number of
cases was three times higher than a year earlier.
Rio is preparing to receive hundreds of thousands of
tourists for its famed annual Carnival in February.
Ribeiro complained that municipal authorities had relaxed
their anti-dengue effort in the three years without major
outbreaks and rejected their explanation that the disease had
been brought from Brazil's northeast by poor slum dwellers.
"The problem is that there are plenty of mosquitoes, that
Rio is an endemic area and there has not been enough effort to
prevent dengue," he said, adding that the overall number of
cases in the state was still around last year's levels.
Because the disease is common within the region, its
residents are more likely to contract more than one of dengue's
four strains, increasing the chance of a potentially deadly
hemorrhagic form of the disease.
A total of 134 Brazilians died from that in 2002, with
nearly 80 percent of the deaths in Rio state. Nearly 740,000
people contracted dengue across the country that year.

Microsoft is arguably at the forefront of corporate-sponsored blogging. We have thousands of blogs, ranging from some of our support-based blogs, to blogs managed by marketing groups, to blogs managed by developers. With such a wide breadth of authors and content, is it really worth trying to figure out the "value" of that content?
With the inception of Web 2.0, and the conscious decision to not include ads on our blogs (with some rare exceptions), do metrics like hit counts, etc really matter?
One of blogging's goals is to provide a voice of the author to talk about what they personally think is important. Why would a company want to measure what someone thinks is important? If no direct guidance is given to authors to force them to blog about specific topics, why would people care about metrics generally about that content?
In our area of technical support, we're in a unique position - we express the value of our Support Engineers through utilization (the amount of time they're working on stuff). Since blogging can be considered "stuff," we have to make sure that we're getting the right value out of our investment.
The issue is that many of the traditional ways that we measure content today don't really apply very well to blogging. Overall satisfaction is harder to measure, and the mushy metrics of audience commenting, linking through services like digg, etc, and other metrics are new, more marketingish ways to look at the value of content. This will be hard for many organizations to swallow in a numbers-rich business.
Should we just accept that blogging is generally good, and therefore be okay with the general amount of time we're "paying" people to blog (through utilization)? What would the perfect number look like? How do we manage to a number when we don't manage the content output?
Does your company deal with blogging and worry about the utilization of your people? If so, drop me a comment and tell your story.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I am looking for a wordpress theme, that has the blog posts listed in grid view. Just like sandal jepit http://themeforest.net/item/sandal-jepit/1851566?WT.ac=search_thumb&WT.seg_1=search_thumb&WT.z_author=biyanpasau but for wordpress (that one is for blogger).
I have seen many grid themes on here, but all are just grid for the portfolio, but not for the blog section. And I cant use the portfolio as the blog, because I want people to be able to comment on it, search and also sign up to email alerts.
Are there any grid view blog wordpress themes out there? have been looking everywhere. Thanks in advance.

Edgar Winter brings his keyboard prowess to William Shatner's new album
by Alicia Steinbeck
posted Oct 30 2013 10:13AM
Jeff here...Edgar Winter is a rock and blues icon. His latest project is a guest spot on William Shatner's new album "Ponder the Mystery". Edgar's keyboard wizardry can be heard on the song "Twilight". But that's not all Edgar Winter is up to these days...far from it. He's writing a book, working on a Broadway production, and promises a new rock album in the future. And of course, he'll never stop touring!!. So, here's my conversation with one of the most enthusiastic artists I've had the pleasure to talk to. Ladies and Gentlemen...Edgar Winter!!

Historical Traveler Reviews Louis Creta Princess Beach Hotel Chania
It was absolutly great i had great fun. I went with a lot of people and we had a great time.
More like a 3 star
We were mostly dissapointed with our holiday to the Creta Princess Hotel, in Chania. We are a family of 5 and had to have joining rooms.
They were very basic, and if you are a size 16 or over, then you would have to have your daily wash in the pool, as getting in and out of the bathrooms was a joke. The food was a little varied, but not to my liking, or the childrens. My daughters ate toast, and rolls for two weeks. Whatever you ate on a daily basis, you could bet your life that all the left overs were stuck in the next days soup, or thrown into a rice dish. The entertainment team did a fantastic job and livened up the evenings, and the pool area's were where they have picked up the 4 star rating without a doubt. The first choice kids club was run by 4 girls, of which 3 did not have any personality at all. How they ever got their jobs I will never know. I would not have employed them if I had interviewed them over the phone. My kids went twice. If they missbehaved during the holiday, I threatened them with "I'll send you to Kids Club if you do that again" The rest of the holiday they behaved !!! I will be writing to first choice about this. There were many reports in the Bungalows of Cock Roaches, and we had an ant infestation on the forth floor. Apart from that the weather was fantastic, and I would go again, but to another hotel.
Animation team
my first holiday away from mum and dad with my boyfriend and we couldnt have gone to a better place!the hotel was spotless and the rooms very nice.along with the biggest heat wave reaching 110'f it was without a doubt the best holiday of my life, so much to do - the animation team in charge of day time and evening entertainment were FANTASTIC! THEY DESERVE MEDALS! they work non stop and deffinatly made our holiday!the disco was good better with the animation team there i wanted to take them all home with me! the area is great! 1 warning "dont use the hotel shop" go across the road SO much cheaper! cant wait to get back there in a few months! i recomend you have your photos taken prof. with marco he is amazing! and make sure you try all the coctails! have fun. char x
This place hardly be faulted, other than the size of the rooms, those of you into swinging cats will be disappointed. We have visited 1999, 2001 and 2002, and plan to go back in 2004. I would challenge anyone to not enjoy themselves. The animation teams are very,very good, as are the kiddy club reps. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the food is good, there is plenty of it, and always varied.
I could go on at length, but cannot spare the time at the moment.
A very satisfied customer.
Game for a laugh?!
While there i had the best time ever. The staff were very helpful and gorgeous! Overall a very unforgetable experience hense the reason i'll be returning next year!
Been twice loved it once
been there twice the first time was the best holiday ever everything was amazing. unfortunately the second holiday here was terrible the animation team was awful the entertainment at night was non-existent the disco was really bad the dj just played music that him and the animation team liked. then my son got food poisoning and we spent 4 days in a greek hospital and got no money back. The best thing about it is the beautiful swimming pools which are kept very nice. The food was practically the same every night and the shops in the complex are very expensive, it is much cheaper to go to the shop over the road, apart from the animation team the staff were very polite and helpful. it is a perfect family holiday but as long as you are lucky and get a good animation team.
Good time at the Louis Creta Princess
Visited this hotel week commencing 7th June 2003, and had a lovely time. Just myself and my little boy.Facilities - a variety of pools that should satisfy anybodies needs. Good for toddlers, youngsters and olds. Tennis, basketball courts but way too hot to make use of them. Plenty of bars for drinking throughout the day.Entertainment - hotels activation team encouraging participation in activities throughout the day, water volley, water polo, and the rest. The germans take these things too seriously.Beach - some sand but a lot of pebble as soon as you move away from the hotel front.Food - fair to good. All tastes catered for and its all very well presented.Rooms - not the biggest, but who wants to stay indoors eh???Resort - Maleme is not ideal for culture vultures. Its way too far from heraklion if you want to hit Knossos etc, probably three hours by coach each way. Chania 20 minutes away, very nice to visit for shops and a nice harbour.
Great Family Holiday
Together with my wife, daughter, son (11 years old), son-in-law and grand-daughter (3 years old) we stayed in bungalows in this family complex directly on the north west coast. The location was excellent, a quiet part of Crete, but easily access was had to the old capital (C)Hania via a courtesy bus, where old venitian houses are in abundance. It was an all inclusive deal and despite our various dietary requirements more than adequate food was to be had from 7 am to midnight. The pool was magnificent and always clean. All the staff were extremely polite and friendly and they all worked well together. The independent 'Animation' team provided entertainment and encouragement from morning to midnight and ensured that everyone knew what was going on. For the two weeks that we were there the whole family just had a great time.
An excellent place for a family holiday
The Louis Creta Princess is an outstanding hotel, catering to families and couples alike. The accomodations are well kept, the service is great. You won't be dissapointed! There is an animation team to provide both day and night time entertainment every day of the week. Shows are provided each evening by the animation team which they create themselves and audience participation is a must! Don't forget the excellent food.
Thanks guys
I have just returned from Crete having spent two weeks there with my wife and two sons. The hotel itself has excellent facilities but the rooms are a little small with not much room to move. The food is very good with always something to choose from the menu. The animation team are a fantastic advert for the hotel and the evening shows are well worth the money alone. A special mention to all the team of Steffano, Allesandro, Bjorn, Antonio, Elena, Lisa, Nadia and Irene. Who kept us entertained for the whole of our stay. Thanks guys.

Tim Terbush, who seems seriously addicted to his iPhone, uses it again to check stock prices for Ford Motor Co. He beams a satisfied smile. He bought at $1.86 a share. Last week, it traded for more than $14.
How much does he own?
"A lot."
Terbush, commercial manager at Ken Grody Ford in Buena Park, has invested more than dollars into Ford.
Try a lifetime.
Terbush, 63, started at Ford dealerships in the 1980s, worked with Lincoln/Mercury, and came to Grody Ford 18 years ago.
The lowest point for Ford, a year ago he says, was the worst he had ever seen. That's when he bought his stock.
March 2009 was not anyone's idea of a good economic time. But for Ford – which announced a $14.6 billion loss in 2008 — its troubles seemed to begin in 2006 when Toyota surpassed it in U.S. sales. A subsequent recession and a meltdown in the credit markets hardly helped.
"Ford was going through some tough times," admits Ken Grody. "It was pretty rough and you scratched your head — but it's a cyclical business."
Lately, it's cycling up.
Analysts who once expected Ford to be pushing daisies were wrong. Things aren't perfect, but lately it seems like everything's coming up roses.
As someone who believes cars are just transportation — and worse — identifies them by color, I'm not confessing a lifelong love affair.
But I admit to some admiration. It's great to see an American company that seemed down and out pull itself upright.
There's been a Ford Motor Co. since 1903, and a Ford dealership in Buena Park since 1965. It's not accidental that the banners decorating Grody Ford are red, white and blue.

> MisAdventuresome Ventures (OOC/Recruitment)
MisAdventuresome Ventures is a DL newcomers thread. As you might have guessed, it's about gnomes. Mainly, anyway. This takes place shortly before the Cataclysm, and Mt Nevermind has been thrown into chaos by a terror beyond imagining: the artificial dragon. Invented by the dearly departed (for obvious reason) Olidarnibshaft.
Poor Oli met his demise when his artificial dragon got out of control. The beast is now preying on any gnomes who venture outside of the mountain, and all their technology has been useless so far. Since their allies, the Solamnic Kngiths, who are supposed to deal with dragons and such, are busy mucking about with some idiotwhoneedsafewboltstightenedinhishead, by the name of King Priest, and another idiotwithaloosescrew, by the name of Lord Soth. So, it's up to the gnomes or any unfortunate visitors to the mountain to deal with the world's one and only truly artificial dragon. Hell hath no fury like a robotic dragon.
I'll be playing Trina, a kender, and Karmawhoisveryfondofmessingaroundwithanythingrobotic, and a half-elf named Rashan. Somehow, someway, the fire-breathing, steel-covered, rust-proof dragon must be destroyed. The fate of the world (or at least a small part of it) rests in the hands of whoever is unlucky or foolish enough to be in Mt Nevermind.
Let the madness begin.

Valencia insist no offer has arrived for Chelsea and Liverpool target David Villa.
Valencia technical secretary Juan Sanchez told Spanish newspaper Marca: "He's our player, he's under contract, and the coach is counting on him. We're very calm and we've received no offer for him."
Valencia president Agustin Morera added that rather than being worried by Villa's eye-catching performances with Spain, the club should be proud of their player's achievements.
He said: "He's an icon who so far has managed to score four goals in the European Championship, something which very few players in the history of football have managed.
"We should be proud that he plays for Valencia, enjoy it, and when we read the newspapers from Barcelona, Madrid and the rest of the world remember that he's our player."
He also brushed off speculation linking Villa with a move away from the Mestalla after Euro 2008, saying: "There are offers for Villa every season."

Banyan Biomarkers raises $6 million
Q: Does the presence of nearby Camp Pendleton and the large military community here play a role in the trial, and if so, how does it work?
A: Though the trial is being conducted at civilian centers, we have a strong connection with the military community here in San Diego. Not only is this important to me as a physician but as a former Navy flight surgeon I understand how imperative it is that our active and retired military are treated with the best care available. The ALERT-TBI study is the first step in getting a breakthrough brain injury blood test available to the civilian and military population.
Q: Where are you enrolling patients? Does it include San Diego or Southern California?
A: There are currently eight sites enrolling in the US and three sites in Europe. We will have a San Diego site opened soon.

"If there's no god, why should I believe in him?"

S is for Stand, Still, Stay, Silent and especially Sundberg
"Stand Still, Stay Silent" is the follow-up to Minna Sundberg's successful webcomic "A Redtail's Dream" (previously), but instead of a 550 page Finnish fantasy tale, it's a post-apocalyptic but still very Scandinavian story intended to run for years. After 10 months of almost-every-weekday pages, she has taken a short break for the end of 'Book One' and it's a good time to catch up. (SPOILERS INSIDE, but reading from the beginning is still strongly recommended) [more inside]

It should come as no surprise that one can readily find international hits online. For instance - Sweden, #4: Panetoz - Dansa Pausa Sweden, #9: Mange Makers - Drick Den This doesn't purport to be an exhaustive list, but rather a jumping-off point. [more inside]

They shoot bunnies, don't they?
There is contention in Sweden over the use of rabbit cadavers as bioenergy to provide heat in Värmland. The rabbits are invasive species, initially pets that were released into the parks in the city of Stockholm. Lacking any natural predators, the rabbits thrive on vegetation, eating their way through the city's central parks. The culling last year set a local record with nearly 6,000 rabbits removed from Stockholm's parks, mostly from Kungsholmen. Some concerned citizens have formed a group, Vilda kaniners värn (Society for the Protection of Wild Rabbits, Google translation). They speak out against the culling and provide alternatives to killing the rabbits, citing methods used in Helsinki (including plant protection) as more humane alternatives. (Biofuel details and more after the break.) [more inside]

Participatory Budgeting and Member Items
Friday, April 05, 2013
Brad Lander, Brooklyn City Councilman (D 39 - Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Columbia Waterfront, Gowanus, Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Borough Park, and Kensington) and one of the lead sponsors of the Community Safety Act, and Melissa Mark-Viverito, City council member representing East Harlem and parts of the Bronx and Upper West Side and a member of the council's Progressive Caucus, talk about this year's expansion of participatory budgeting, which allows residents' of their districts to allocate some of the member items funds. Voting concludes this weekend for the 8 districts involved. Member items are under renewed scrutiny in the wake of the arrests of NYC politicians, including Queens Council Member Halloran.
Guests:Brad Lander and Melissa Mark-Viverito
Comments [8]
So proposal #10 will buy a school 120 auditorium/music room seats for $150,000. You mean to tell me that it costs of $1,000 to buy and install a seat?
I love being given choices, and hope to see more of such participatory democracy. But choices like this make me sad.
I hope that future events like this are announced further in advance so that there can be more debate/research about each proposal. It might even result in more public scrutiny of how the City goes about spending money, and motivate people to find out why exactly a seat an a public school auditorium costs $1,250.
I recommend that those who are skeptical about participatory budgeting try it out. Delegates are not chosen by the councilmembers, they step up at the neighborhood assemblies that anyone can attend. It's been encouraging to see how many people who feel left out of democracy have gotten involved. District committees of residents work hard along with citywide partners like Community Voices Heard and Participatory Budgeting Project to involve diverse groups in the process and speak up for equity in the funding. As an active participant in the process my concerns and ideas have been welcomed. Of course the process could improve and reach more people - that's why people should get involved to make it better. As participatory budgeting grows across the city we can push it to further to reach its ideal of direct democracy. If you live in a district involved come out and vote - it's an inspiring experience.
Someone phoned in with worries that minorities in Jackson Heights may not be able to participate effectively if/when Participatory Budgeting starts in this District. Two things: 1)Danny Dromm has apparently indicated a wish to include Jackson Heights in the PB process later this year; and, 2)'Occupy Queens', hopeful of engaging with vulnerable and disadvantaged individuals and groups, has already started to reach out to community groups in Jackson Heights to help make sure that PB's primary goal of 'Inclusion' will be achieved. Inquiries welcome: http://www.occupyqueens.net/
Brian has miss-characterized the participatory budget process as "direct democracy." The way Council Members Melissa Mark-Viverito and Brad Lander described it, it's more appropriate to call it "deliberative democracy." Yes, the final voting on which projects to fund involves direct decision making based on votes by district residents. The crucial aspect is the DELIBERATION among residents beforehand in the assemblies to help choose what projects go on the ballot. Without that engagement on the front-end, well before the decisions are made through voting, this would be an empty process. In the process described by the council members, the residents who participate in determining projects that go on the ballot play the important role of "issue framers." For more on citizens as "issue framers" in their communities, see the book "Results That Matter" http://www.rtmteam.net/page.php?section=about_the_book&pageName=main and for more positive roles people can play in their communities (all described in the book) see http://www.rtmteam.net/page.php?section=overview_of_ecg&pageID=26
I'm a constituent of Brad Lander's, and took part in Participatory Budgeting last year, as I will, again, this year. I was very impressed by the creativity and dedication of the community, and was glad to be a part of the process. It shows that citizens and government can work together.
Thank you to the hundreds of community members across the city who stepped up to organize Participatory Budgeting, together with the Council Members and partner organizations! Especially to the diverse residents who volunteered to serve as budget delegates - putting in months of work to turn the public's ideas into concrete project proposals, to educate and inform their neighbors, and to organize an inclusive voting process that opens up budgeting to thousands more people.
I have concerns about this process of Participatory Budgeting:
1. Who is monitoring election independently? The same city council people who supposedly cannot allocate 1 million dollars without oversight are the same ones running the elections.
2. How can people be fairly informed of process and vote- those on twitter and fb have opportunity those unconnected dont
3. A small organized group representing less than 1 percent of district can get their project funded but other worthy projects dont see light of day. Gentrifying schools with high-powered PTA's have more access than other groups.
4. City council person controls process, including appointing delegates to "help shepard" projects through process
5. City councilperson is abdicating his or her elected responsibility
Are there plans to restrain political favoritism with member items by the council speaker?

12.03.07 - On Training: Al Certo and I have been training very hard for this fight. At the crack of dawn, he has me out in the snow doing my roadwork. My sparring has been intense with some of the best guys we could find. They are preparing me for everything that Holyfield will throw at me. Evander Holyfield is a smart fighter. He has a strong inside game. Al Certo and I have designed a strategy where we will punish him for being in my range.
On Holyfield:
I am not Fres Oquendo or Jermey Bates. I will take the fight to him. I have never taken a backward step in my entire career. I come to fight.
He is a well conditioned athlete and I am prepared RIGHT NOW to go the distance. This will be the fight of my life and I do not plan on coming out the loser.
Holyfield is a throwback fighter from the days of Marciano, Frazier and Dempsey. My trainer, Al Certo, is a throwback himself. He has seen the greats first hand and worked with them. He knows how to beat them. Holyfield might have toughness and guts, but when he faces me, he will find out that he has met his match!

3D printed biorobot will enter your gut to track and destroy toxins November 17, 2012 at 9:47 am
Using new and specialized 3D printing technology, engineers were able to deposit a bio-friendly hydrogel into a classic cantilever design just 7 by 2 millimeters in size and seeded with heart cells from a rat. The cells grew into a matrix and began doing what heart cells do best – beating. By depositing the cells in a particular arrangement throughout the 3D structure, and coaxing them to grow in the desired ways, the beats eventually produced controlled forward movement. After a number of false starts and inferior designs, the researchers were able to build a biobot that moved consistently — albeit at only 236 micrometers per second, or 0.00053 miles per hour.

News articles on Malawi
Mongabay.com news articles on Malawi in blog format. Updated regularly.
Meet the world's rarest chameleon: Chapman's pygmy
(11/25/2014) In just two forest patches may dwell a tiny, little-known chameleon that researchers have dubbed the world's most endangered. Chapman's pygmy chameleon from Malawi hasn't been seen in 16 years. In that time, its habitat has been whittled down to an area about the size of just 100 American football fields.
Chameleon crisis: extinction threatens 36% of world's chameleons
(11/24/2014) Chameleons are an unmistakable family of wonderfully bizarre reptiles. They sport long, shooting tongues; oddly-shaped horns or crests; and a prehensile tail like a monkey's. But, chameleons are most known for their astonishing ability to change the color of their skin. Now, a update of the IUCN Red List finds that this unique group is facing a crisis that could send dozens of chameleons, if not more, to extinction.
A new way to rescue Africa's struggling soils: Planting perennials with crops
(11/20/2012) It sounds counter-intuitive: Grow more food by planting less. But it's a plan that scientists think will produce enough crops to feed Africa's quickly expanding population. African farmers who sow food crops mixed with plants called perennials—which live two years or more—can enrich nutrient-poor soils and increase their bounty, argue scientists in the Sept. 20 issue of Nature.
Fertilizer trees boost yields in Africa
(10/16/2011) Fertilizer trees—which fix nitrogen in the soil—have improved crops yields in five African countries, according to a new study in the International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability. In some cases yields have doubled with the simple addition of nitrogen-soaking trees. The research found that fertilizer trees could play a role in alleviating hunger on the continent while improving environmental conditions.
Unique acacia tree could play vital role in turning around Africa's food crisis
(08/24/2009) Scientists have discovered that an acacia tree, long used by farmers in parts of Africa, could dramatically raise food yields in Africa. The acacia tree Faidherbia albida, also known as Mgunga in Swahili, possesses the unique ability to provide much-needed nitrogen to soil.
NASA study shows global warming will diminish rainfall in East Africa, worsening hunger
(08/06/2008) A new NASA-backed study has found a link between a warming Indian Ocean and reduced rainfall in eastern and southern Africa. The results suggest that rising sea temperatures could exacerbate food problems in some of the continent's most famine-prone regions.
Nigeria has worst deforestation rate, FAO revises figures
(11/17/2005) Nigeria has the world's highest deforestation rate of primary forests according to revised deforestation figures from the the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
World deforestation rates and forest cover statistics, 2000-2005
(11/16/2005) Cambodia has the world's highest deforestation rate, Brazil loses the largest area of forest annually, and Congo consumes more bushmeat than any other tropical country. These are among the findings from mongabay.com's analysis of new deforestation figures from the United Nations. Monday, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) released its 2005 Global Forest Resources Assessment, a regular report on the status world's forest resources. Overall, FAO concludes that net deforestation rates have fallen since the 1990-2000 period, but some 13 million hectares of the world's forests are still lost each year, including 6 million hectares of primary forests. Primary forests -- forests with no visible signs of past or present human activities -- are considered the most biologically diverse ecosystems on the planet.
Deforestation and erosion starving Malawi
(10/13/2005) Forest loss and erosion could doom Malawi to perpetual food shortages as the country's fertile soil is literally swept down to its rivers and flushed out to sea.
10 million people will need humanitarian assistance in Southern Africa
(09/23/2005) As many as 10 million people in Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe have been assessed as food insecure and will need humanitarian assistance until the next harvest according to a food security brief from USAID.

There's some good news about a 60 mph serve, though. A 60 mph serve travels at about 90 feet per second, since the service line is 60 feet away, it gets there in 2/3 of a second. That means your ball drops vertically over 7 feet! You can get your serve in without spin, and still have a comfortable margin for error. Don't hit your second serve any softer, that just complicates things with new trajectories to figure out. Learn to place it near each side of the service court and you'll be able to keep many players off balance on your serve.
Like you pointed out, Ken Rosewall didn't have a monster serve. And he was one of the all time greats. With good placement and consistency, a 60 mph serve can be plenty effective in 3.5 tennis, IMO.

Phen375 Is Now Available with a Perfect Combination of Natural Components to Burn Body Fat and Eliminate Muscle Deterioration
Phen375 now comes in a new and improved version with a perfect combination of natural components like Trimethylxanthine and enzyme boosters to burn away large amounts of body fat and eliminating the problem of muscle deterioration often suffered by dieters.
Jackson, Mississippi, USA (PRWEB) January 08, 2013
Many studies show that phen375 will actually work. After scientists created Phen375, they spent quite a bit of time researching how well it worked. They determined that the normal person taking Phen375 lost between three and five pounds per week. A nutritionist's approximation is that a pound is equal to just about 3,500 calories. That means that someone taking Phen375 loses the equal of 10,500 to 17,500 calories per week without even dieting.
Click Here to Visit Official Website of Phen375
Many common people experienced this product, who said they are enjoying its results. That means that taking Phen375 assists the normal body to burn between 1,500 and 2,500 calories per day. To burn those calories through dieting alone would be almost impossible. To burn those calories by exercising, an individual would have to run between 15 and 25 miles per day every day. However, when someone takes Phen375, they burn all of these additional calories just by adding the phen375 to their normal diet.
Click Here to Read Complete Review on Phen375 Fat Burner
Phen375 made by a mixture of Cyclic Enzyme Boosters, a Sympathomimetic Amine, LongJack Tongkate ALI, Capsaicin 1.12, and I-carnitine. The mixture of these five components makes Phen375 into the most effective and purest dietary supplement that is achievable to create. This means that its consequences are also the strongest and the purest and that dieters experience fewer side effects than they do with almost any other diet pill.

The Arab Jihad in Afghanistan: Pictures From an Occupation
Imagine a collection of 100,000 photographs, 3,000 hours of video and 1,600 audiotapes documenting the recent history of Afghanistan. But don't just imagine-join the Athenaeum for an inside look into this archive, when Williams College Afghan Media Project director David Edwards will share pictures and stories from Afghanistan. A man who became an expert about Afghanistan long before September 11th, Edwards oversees efforts to preserve one of the most extensive collections of visual and audio records from Afghanistan. In his Athenaeum lecture, Edwards will also consider the failure of the Arab Afghans to mobilize a base of support among Afghans for their objective of global jihad.
Seeking to combat decreasing coverage of Afghanistan in the late 1980s, the Pakistan-based Afghan Media Resource Center (AMRC) facilitated trips from 1987 to 1995 to Afghanistan for journalists, cameramen, video crews, and photographers. These photos, television reports, and audiotapes from remote regions (some of which required travel of up to a month to reach) were dispatched to media outlets including the BBC, CNN, and Time. Edwards, in recognizing the importance of the AMRC archive-as well as the danger posed to the archive by Pakistan's hot and dusty climate-is working to digitalize and preserve the collection.
Edwards is professor and departmental chair of Anthropology at Williams College. He has published articles on religious ideology in Afghanistan (again, long before most of the rest of us thought to take notice). His book, Before Taliban: Genealogies of the Afghan Jihad (1998), is from the University of California Press.
Professor Edwards delivers the fourth annual L. J. Kutten Lecture on Philosophy and Religion, made possible through the generosity of CMC alumnus L. J. Kutten '74.
