The latest on our snow chances (IMAGES)
It's nothing to get excited or worry about, but some of us may witness a few snowflakes tonight and into the weekend.
Continued from a previous blog:
The latest data points toward a cold rain briefly mixing with wet snowflakes mostly south of D.C. from roughly 5 P.M. to 1 A.M. It will be light and no snow accumulation is expected with the exception of some ridge tops along the Blue Ridge. In the higher elevations up to an inch is possible especially in Highland, Augusta and Nelson Counties.
Precipitation forecast
The best chance for this rain/mix is along and south of Hwy 3 in Virginia and in southern Maryland starting around 5 P.M. That said, it won't take much for this precipitation to clip the D.C. metro area, but it would just cause some reduced visibilities and wet roads for a brief period of time this evening. Even the rainfall totals should be slim with this weak system (0.01"-0.10").
As a side note, don't be surprised if you witness a few flurries early Sunday morning caused by a shot of upper level energy. Neither is a big deal, and my snow excitement factor remains very low at this time - even for the extended outlook.
The bigger story today is the dropping temperatures and gusty winds. We have already hit our high temperature for the day (DCA: 62 4:12 A.M.), and the cooler air will continue to spill into town throughout the morning and midday.
Expect readings in the 40s for the majority of our Friday with northwesterly gusts up to 35 mph. The weekend looks seasonable and partly cloudy with a slight chance of a few snow flurries very early Sunday morning.

Acer platanoides (Norway Maple) is a species of maple native to eastern and central Europe and southwest Asia, from France east to Russia, north to southern Scandinavia and southeast to northern Iran.
It is a deciduous tree growing to 20–30 m tall with a trunk up to 1.5 m diameter, and a broad, rounded crown. The bark is grey-brown and shallowly grooved; unlike many other maples, mature trees do not tend to develop a shaggy bark. The shoots are green at first, soon becoming pale brown; the winter buds are shiny red-brown. The leaves are opposite, palmately lobed with five lobes, 7–14 cm long and 8–20 cm (rarely 25 cm) across; the lobes each bear one to three side teeth, and an otherwise smooth margin. The leaf petiole is 8–20 cm long, and secretes a milky juice when broken. The autumn colour is usually yellow, occasionally orange-red. The flowers are in corymbs of 15–30 together, yellow to yellow-green with five sepals and five petals 3–4 mm long; flowering occurs in early spring before the new leaves emerge. The fruit is a double samara with two winged seeds, the seeds are disc-shaped, strongly flattened, 10–15 mm across and 3 mm thick. The wings are 3–5 cm long, widely spread, approaching a 180° angle. It typically produces a large quantity of viable seeds. It is not particularly a long-lived tree, with a maximum age of around 250 years.
Norway Maple is a member (and is the type species) of the section Platanoidea Pax, characterised by flattened, disc-shaped seeds and the shoots and leaves containing milky sap. Other related species in this section include Acer campestre (Field Maple), Acer cappadocicum (Cappadocian Maple), Acer lobelii (Lobel's Maple), and Acer truncatum (Shandong Maple). From Field Maple, Norway Maple is distinguished by its larger leaves with pointed, not blunt, lobes, and from the other species by the presence of one or more teeth on all of the lobes.
It is also frequently confused with the more distantly related Acer saccharum (Sugar Maple). Sugar Maple is easy to identify by clear sap in the petiole (Norway Maple has white sap). The tips of the points on Norway Maple leaves reduce to a fine "hair", while the tips of the points on Sugar Maple leaves are on close inspection rounded. On mature trees, Sugar Maple bark is more shaggy, while Norway Maple bark has small, often criss-crossing grooves. While the shape and angle of leaf lobes vary somewhat within all Maple species, the leaf lobes of Norway Maple tend to have a more triangular shape, in contrast to the more squarish lobes often seen on Sugar Maples. The seeds of Sugar Maple are globose, while Norway Maple seeds are flattened. Sugar Maple usually has a brighter orange autumn colour, whereas Norway Maple is usually yellow, although some of the red-leaved cultivars appear more orange. The tree tends to leaf out earlier than most maples and holds its leaves somewhat longer in autumn.
The wood is hard, yellowish-white to pale reddish, with the heartwood not distinct; it is used for furniture and turnery.
Many cultivars have been selected, with distinctive leaf shape or coloration such as the dark purple of 'Crimson King' and 'Schwedleri', the variegated leaves of 'Drummondii' and 'Emerald Queen', and the deeply divided, feathery leaves of 'Dissectum' and 'Lorbergii'. The purple-foliage cultivars have orange to red autumn colour. 'Columnare' is selected for its narrow upright growth.
It has been widely introduced into cultivation in other areas, including western Europe northwest of its native range. It grows north of the Arctic Circle at Tromsø, Norway. In North America, it is grown as a street and shade tree. It is favoured due to its tolerance of poor, compacted soils and urban pollution. As a result of these characteristics, Norway Maple is displacing locally native hardwoods in some parts of North America and is considered invasive in some states, but is still widely used for urban plantings in many areas.
Norway Maple itself is threatened in a few areas by the Asian long-horned beetle, which eats through the trunk of trees, often killing them.
A number of species of Lepidoptera feed on Norway Maple foliage; see Lepidoptera that feed on maples. Norway Maple is generally free of serious diseases, though can be attacked by the powdery mildew Uncinula bicornis, and verticillium wilt disease caused by Verticillium spp.

In 2009, Dragon Age: Origins became the latest release from Bioware, a dark fantasy epic in a similar spirit to Baldur's Gate but with a strong RPG feel akin to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect. Creating a fantastically detailed world, the first game was engaging, entertaining and intriguing. As such, Dragon Age 2 had a lot to live up to.
First, the good. The combat flows much better; attacks appear smoother and it is gratifying to see a character perform a set move as soon as they've been instructed to. The graphics are stunning, with locations and people rendered beautifully (except for a few cameos from the first game who have sadly not come out of the re-modding process looking their best or, in fact, anything like they did in Origins).
Better yet, your player character is actually capable of facial expressions this time. They also speak. Like in Mass Effect, players choose their responses to questions and situations through a dialogue wheel with an icon beside each option indicating its tone (diplomatic, aggressive, sarcastic, flirtatious etc) and then these are put into words, which actually works fantastically well. The new companion characters are funny and interesting, and the quests engaging.
Yet where Dragon Age 2 falls down is the over-arching plot. You play Hawke, a human warrior, mage or rogue, who moves to the city of Kirkwall with their family in order to escape the Blight of Darkspawn which caused the Warden of the first game so much trouble. Over the course of the game (spanning nearly ten years), Hawke rises to become the city's Champion. And that's about it.
Whereas in Origins there was a sense of world-spanning peril and the threat of civil war, here it is just one city that is affected by your actions. On the one hand this lends more intimacy to your surroundings and some of the characters you meet along the way. Being based in this one (admittedly very large) location means that as your Hawke comes to own these streets you as a gamer have become so utterly familiar with your settings they almost feel like home, and encountering individuals then seeing how their story and situation develops over the course of the narrative is certainly rewarding. Decisions you make in this game not only have longer lasting consequences than in the first, but their impact is often more clearly apparent.
On the other hand, there is less of a sense of the epic to it. Though we learn the story of Hawke, the world of Ferelden isn't particularly added to or developed, with very little taken up from the first game and built on right up until the finale's huge cliff-hanger ending which indicates more exciting things to come. As a result this feels more like an aside, or the second part in a trilogy which sets up things to come but has no satisfying resolution of its own.
Moreover, the story is broken into three acts (each narrated by Varric, a merchant dwarf and companion of Hawke, in an interesting and at time hilarious manner) which, despite each having merits and interesting moments, don't particularly feel connected or part of a coherent whole, leaving the game feeling disjointed.
Where Dragon Age 2 does excel, however, is character. As well as expanding the roles of minor characters from the first game, Bioware have created a rich, diverse and interesting motley crew to follow Hawke around, and their companion quests are always revealing and often amusing. The romances are well-developed, if a little inconsistent, and the bi-sexual and promiscuous nature of almost every inhabitant of the Dragon Age world remains an enjoyable light relief.
Overall, Dragon Age 2 is a fun, engaging game with lots of funny and emotional moments but a slightly darker, more serious tone than that of its predecessor. Not quite as good as Origins, it remains a hugely fulfilling and enjoyable game, even if at times it feels more like an expanded DLC than a story in its own right.

By DAVID BRANDT
Associated Press
ENTERPRISE (AP) — As Mississippi storm survivors pick up pieces of their lives, Gov. Haley Barbour says federal officials have agreed to quickly process his request for a disaster declaration to speed up recovery from powerful storms that pounded the South this week.
Barbour traveled Friday to Smithville, a northeast Mississippi town of about 900 residents, where 14 were killed by a tornado with winds over 200 mph. He said 12 people were still missing in the town Friday. The National Weather Service classified the Wednesday afternoon twister as an EF-5, the strongest rating for tornado damage.
Mississippi's death toll is at least 33 for the storms that struck Tuesday and Wednesday. More than 150 people were injured.
Initial reports from 51 of Mississippi's 82 counties showed more than 320 homes and 25 businesses damaged. Barbour has asked President Barack Obama for a federal disaster declaration for the entire state.
In east central Mississippi's Clarke County, tornado survivors Doug and Tina Steen picked through their possessions Friday, trying to find what was salvageable as crews worked to restore electricity and make sure structures were safe.
A half-mile wide tornado zigzagged just east of Enterprise on Wednesday, leaving a path of destruction while narrowly missing an elementary school and other city buildings in the rural area near the Alabama line.
The Steens left their mobile home just before the tornado struck, driving south to avoid the worst of the destruction. When they returned, trees littered the highway and the roof of their home was gone. Half of their neighbor's trailer was wrapped around a tree as insulation blew across the highway.
"When we first showed up you couldn't even recognize that there were homes and you could barely see the highway — it was just total destruction," Doug Steen said Friday. "We're lucky that everyone in our neighborhood is safe. We're even able to save some of our possessions.
"It happened so fast there wasn't even any time for it to rain."
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that in Smithville, Barbour commended the local response, particularly the efforts by church groups. He added that not many people are sleeping in shelters because neighbors have taken them in.
The National Guard, which has been on the scene since Wednesday, will stay in Smithville as the cleanup continues.
"To come into Smithville and see the devastation here, the utter obliteration that's come to this town, is moving, eye-opening," Barbour said. "And I'm committed to bringing Smithville back newer and better."
The tornado that hit Smithville at 3:44 p.m. EDT on Wednesday had winds of 205 mph and was the first EF-5 in Mississippi since 1966, the National Weather Service said Friday. The assessment is preliminary, based on photos taken Thursday and consultation with experts. It will be confirmed later this year after further inspections. The weather service said the tornado was a half-mile wide and was on the ground for close to three miles.
National Guard troops are on duty in Smithville, where dozens of structures were blown to bits.
Barbour on Friday warned of another pending weather disaster: flooding along the Mississippi River, which could affect large portions of the western side of the state. He urged people living along the river to move to higher areas in anticipation of the cresting next month.
"They don't need to wait until the 18th of May," he said.
In rural Clarke County, south of Meridian, Traci Mayo said Friday that she and her 9-year-old son went to a neighbor's house as a tornado approached Wednesday.
Mayo returned home to find her house had only suffered minor damage. But the shop right next to the house was destroyed. Pieces of the red tin roof were found strewn about her neighbor's yard.
"It's amazing what it destroys," Mayo said. "Then just a few feet away everything's fine."
Also in Clarke County, Matthew Dennis rode out Wednesday's tornado in a bathtub with his wife and 5-year-old daughter as the wind blew the roof off his home, uprooted trees in the yard and splattered mud all over the house. All three emerged unscathed. His house and two cars might be a total loss, but Dennis said that wasn't the biggest concern.
"All this stuff can be replaced," Dennis said Friday. "I've got my wife and baby and that's all that matters. Within minutes after the tornado was gone, all kinds of people — including people I didn't even know — came out to help and see what they could do. This was terrible, but it really brings people together."
In northern Mississippi's Marshall County, Sheriff Kenny Dickerson said several roads were ruined by heavy rains that washed away large drainage pipes. He said Artwell Craft of Holly Springs was killed by the flooding. Craft, 66, was a former deputy sheriff who had been working for a medical transportation business.
Associated Press writer Emily Wagster Pettus contributed to this report from Jackson.

A DAILY serving of blueberries keeps you young, at least if you're a rat. Animals that ate the fruit recovered some of the coordination normally lost with old age.
James Joseph of Tufts University in Boston was studying antioxidant-rich foods like strawberries, spinach and blueberries. Antioxidants reverse some memory loss linked to old age, probably by mopping up free radicals in the brain.
For eight weeks, Joseph fed supplements of strawberries, spinach or blueberries to three groups of 19-month-old ratsthe equivalent of 60 to 65 years old for humans. He then assessed their memories and mobility in standard tests.
All the rats showed improvements in memory compared with rats that were not given antioxidant-rich food to eat. Surprisingly, the rats fed with blueberries also had better balance and coordination in tasks such as running along a rod (
Joseph suspects that the extra ...

DEV-O LIVE is a live EP (and later live album) by the New Wave band Devo. It was recorded during the Freedom of Choice tour of 1980, at the The Fox Warfield Theatre. Initially only six songs from the show were released on an EP in 1981, intended for airplay use (largely for the King Biscuit Flower Hour). It featured the otherwise-unreleased "Freedom of Choice Theme Song" and a reworked version of "Be Stiff".
Devo were given consistent radio support by Sydney-based noncommercial rock station 2JJ, one of the first rock stations outside America to play their recordings. This paid off, as in August 1981, they found commercial success in Australia when the EP spent 3 weeks at the top of the Australian charts. Later in the year, they came out to Australia and appeared on TV show Countdown
In 2005, Rhino Handmade re-released DEV-O LIVE on a full album including the entire Warfield show (with the exception of "Pink Pussycat", which was lost, but appears on bootleg recordings of the show). It is also available on the iTunes Store and Amazon.com, and in the Japanese box set This is the Devo Box.

Track List
Album Remarks & Appraisals:
2005 marks the year it would have been John Lennon's 65th Birthday in October. 12/05 sees another anniversary in 25 years since his death. There will be a lot of John Lennon activity throughout this period, with remastered catalogue in the form of Walls & Bridges and Sometime in New York City albums. Working Class Hero - The Definitive Lennon will be a double disc set featuring all his classic songs and more. EMI.
Album Notes
Personnel: John Lennon.
Photographers: Ivor Sharp; Ian MacMillan; Spud Murphy ; Bob Gruen; Peter Fordham.
Arranger: John Lennon.
Although 2005's WORKING CLASS HERO: THE DEFINITIVE LENNON covers a lot of familiar ground, including all of John Lennon's best-known hits, it's hard to complain when the material is so amazing. In fact, the most striking thing about this two-disc set is how Lennon continued to produce so many consistently strong tunes in the shadow of all the immortal classics he penned with the Beatles. The truth, however, is that Lennon's solo material is nakedly confessional, honest, and emotionally riveting in a way his Beatles' work seldom was.
WORKING CLASS HERO represents these qualities admirably by showing Lennon at his most anguished ("Cold Turkey") and reflective ("Watching the Wheels"), alongside moments of pure joy ("(Just Like) Starting Over") and aching poignancy ("Love"). Lennon the outraged rebel ("Gimme Some Truth") is balanced by Lennon the wistful idealist ("Imagine," "Give Peace a Chance"), with the collection hitting all points in between. So while it's not full of surprises or essential material for hardcore Lennon fans who already own his solo albums, this 38-song compilation does offer a well-assembled overview of his finest moments.

With just days away from 2014, The National Association for the Self-Employed (NASE) – the nation's leading advocate and resource for the self-employed and micro-businesses -- today released a list of new and rising taxes for America's smallest businesses in the New Year.
"As the new year approaches, America's smallest businesses – the self-employed and micro-businesses – must factor in to their bottom lines additional taxes they will face in 2014," Katie Vlietstra, Vice President for Government Relations and Public Affairs at NASE. "It is important small business owners educate themselves about these rising taxes for their 2014 planning. While the small business community continues to struggle with a growing list of unequal taxes and penalties, these additional taxes will make it harder for them to grow and expand in the new year."
The NASE aims to educate small business owners about the tax code, including working with policymakers to mitigate the financial impact of the law on the 23 million self-employed who are working to help fuel our economy. Access to affordable health care and comprehensive health insurance shouldn't have a negative tax impact on the self-employed.

The National Association for the Self-Employed (NASE) is the nation's leading resource for the self-employed and micro-businesses, bringing a broad range of benefits to help entrepreneurs succeed and to drive the continued growth of this vital segment of the American economy. The NASE Small Business Locator helps identify and connect our nation's smallest businesses. The NASE is a 501(c) (6) nonprofit organization and provides big-business advantages to hundreds of thousands of micro-businesses across the United States.

HIV/AIDS has evolved into one of the world's greatest public health crises. More than 39 million people are estimated to be living with HIV/AIDS worldwide, over 60 percent of them in sub-Saharan Africa (UNAIDS,2006). HIV prevalence among adults aged 15–49 now exceeds 15 percent in many countries and has approached nearly 25 percent in Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe. In 2006 alone, more than 4 million people are estimated to have become infected with HIV, including nearly 2 million women and over half a million children under the age of 14. The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) has estimated that nearly 3 million people died of AIDS worldwide in 2006, and that AIDS has reversed the gains in life expectancy that had been achieved by Africa over the past 50 years (UNAIDS, 2004a, 2006).
By 2006, an estimated 12 million children had been orphaned in sub-Saharan Africa as a result of HIV/AIDS (UNICEF, 2006). The status of girls and women makes them especially vulnerable to HIV, and they now account for nearly half of people living with HIV worldwide and 59 percent of those in sub-Saharan Africa (UNAIDS, 2006). In addition, HIV/AIDS has severely strained national economies and contributed to political instability in many of the countries experiencing an epidemic (UN, 2003b; CSIS, 2005; Rice, 2006). Chapter 2 provides more background about the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

fight at the milonga! - buenos aires, argentina
last night a fight broke out at the tango club. i had nothing to do with it.
i figured if there was one thing i was obliged to do while in buenos aires, it would be to head out to a
, or tango club. this is something that is quintessentially of buenos aires, and defines the experience of living in or visiting this place. when i first arrived, david and zoe arranged for a tango lesson on their balcony for myself and some guests. i met gustavo and jorgelina, a couple who teach. they invited me to the milonga where they have classes on thursday nights.
la catedral milonga, almagro, buenos aires, argentina
, on Flickr
the club -
la catedral
- was a very friendly place. very casual and very approachable. it's a converted warehouse, with odd art hung on the walls. there is a 15 foot tall representation of a human heart hanging from the ceiling that glows red. it's off the beaten path, not like the tourist shows that most gringos see. these were real porteños out for a night of dancing with their friends and families.
i took the tango course with jorgelina. i have to say that i'm starting to understand
the dance
. i'd taken classes about 3 years ago in portland, but it never stuck. something about being here in BA is helping with the retention. i feel more responsible for what i'm being taught, out of respect for the culture and the strong tradition.
the lesson ended, and a live 4 piece band began to set up for the open dance that was about to begin. already, some pros were working the floor while the band prepped. there was an old man with a tall beautiful young woman. you could tell by the way he moved her around that he was respected on the dance floor. she was challenged by his skill, but she was also talented. i was transfixed on them, it was very relaxing to watch them move from my darkened seat against the wall, in the back.

, on Flickr
the singer of the band was very attractive blonde women in a tight black dress, probably in her late twenties. she was a performer, probably from the gringo tango circuit - maybe on an off night at la cathedral. but her voice was incredible and the band was amazing.
there was a table of spanish-speaking tourists in front of me. between songs, people would applaud and pound on the tables in respect. a gentleman in front of me said something that caught the singer's ear between songs. i think he was just trying to get into the spirit, but she didn't like the sound of it. she walked away from the microphone and over to his table. she looked him in the eye while everyone in the club looked on. she said something, that probably was not very nice. the table of tourists, men and women in their 30s, were shocked. the singer walked back to the microphone like nothing had happened. she's the brooding, self-tortured artist type - the kind that burn out quick in life. if i were to guess, i'd say she was high on something by the way she moved around between songs.
a few songs passed, and the table in front of me and people around them were talking about what happened. i was still watching the dancers, they moved beautifully. i lost track of the gentlemen who'd been confronted by the singer.
then after the next song, there was a commotion out in the hallway near the bathroom. there were men chasing other men, moving back and forth. i saw punches being thrown. i saw them go to the ground i think. another man came out to the dancefloor from that area and yelled something, likely "hey get in here these guys are fighting." the confronted tourists then walks across the dancefloor back to his table after a couple of minutes of turned heads and gasps. he's dripping blood from his nose as he walks back to his seat. he begins to yell, something about he going to get the police... this is all in spanish and i'm trying to piece it all together.

the bombshell singer runs across the dance floor, half restrained by the bass player following behind her. she hurls a few choice insults i don't understand, but they are beautifully spoken, with as much talent as her singing. i was fascinated. i hear the verb "matar" (to kill). she clearly wasn't a very happy girl. she's lead away. the bloody guy gets up and walks out, presumably to get the police. the dj puts some music on and after a few seconds, there are 2, 3, 5 couples on the dance floor, trying to get on with their night.
la catedral milonga, almagro, buenos aires, argentina
, on Flickr
i couldn't have been happier with that milonga, as it was extremely entertaining and an experience i will never forget. maybe it will help set the tango that i learned into my memory? if you are in BA, check this place out. it's not a seedy place, it was just a weird night.

After months of occupying the shores of Canada in soft-launch, Supercell loaded Boom Beach into a landing craft, and deployed the strategy game on the Apple App Store all across the world on March 27.
While Boom Beach (free) was in soft-launch in Canada and Australia, the strategy title was a chronic app on the top grossing charts. At one point, Boom Beach was generating more revenue in Canada than popular top grossing apps such as King's Pet Rescue Saga, DeNA's Marvel War of Heroes and GREE's Modern War.
Now that Boom Beach is available worldwide, we decided to search through our market intelligence tool AppIQ for some interesting trends.
Top Global App
In our Top Global Apps report for April 2014, we revealed that Boom Beach reached the top five on both the Apple App Store's global top free and top grossing leaderboards for April 2014. Boom Beach was ranked No. 4 on the top free leaderboard, among the likes of apps such as 2048 and Piano Tiles (above).
On the top grossing chart, Boom Beach snuck in at the No. 5 spot at the expense of another Supercell title, Hay Day, which dropped to the No. 6 rank (above).
Translation Power
After snooping around estimated downloads and revenue from AppIQ for Boom Beach, we discovered that Boom Beach received a Japanese translation in Japan on April 24, resulting in a tremendous lift in downloads and revenue.
When comparing the average daily downloads for Boom Beach in Japan a week before (April 17 to April 23) it was translated in Japanese to a week after the translation (April 24 to April 30), we found that Boom Beach's average daily downloads exploded by more than 17 times (above).

The forthcoming World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) to be held in Johannesburg, South Africa, in August is being viewed as a multi-stakeholder high-level forum that will shape the environment agenda through the regional and international multi-stakeholder dialogues.
It is at this summit where individual governments, companies, international organisations, civil society and other stakeholders will take specific positions in relation to poverty, environment, and sustainable development issues in Africa and the whole world.
Considering this summit is taking place in southern Africa, IUCN-the World Conservation Union-has seen it imperative to ensure that the civil society in southern Africa meaningfully contributes to both the preparations for and the deliberations at the Summit.
Participation of civil society groups is sometimes constrained by a limited capacity and lack of information. IUCN has therefore supported the participation of the region's civil society in key Preparatory Committee Meetings (PrepCom) for the Summit.
"There was a clear recognition that civil society contribution to the summit's preparatory process was constrained," said Dr Yemi Katerere, the regional director for IUCN in southern Africa.
"IUCN is therefore ensuring effective contribution by existing civil society networks in the summit's preparatory processes in order to raise Africa's position on conservation, poverty and sustainable development both at the PrepComs and the summit." Katerere pointed out that given the importance of the summit in determining the direction for sustainable development, IUCN realised the need to mobilise civil society in the region ahead of the fourth and final preparatory committee meeting.
First, IUCN took some representatives from the civil society in southern Africa to a meeting in Dakar, Senegal in May. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the main issues of the summit with about 50 Anglophone and Francophone experts from Africa on the basis of some expert papers that were produced by IUCN.
Fannie Mutepfa, the Programme Co-ordinator from Zimbabwe Regional Environment Organisation (Zero), an IUCN member, stressed the role of civil society as she saw it during the Dakar meeting. "We assist in translating the global agreements and strategies into local action, and ensure that the voices and needs of local and grassroots communities are heard and taken into account when drafting global agenda for action." Mutepfa noted that it is important that civil society documents and brings to the attention of leaders the experiences from the field. "This is critical in informing the agenda for the future.
"It is up to us-in consultation with national governments-to create the awareness on WSSD at local levels and consult the grassroots communities on their vision for Sustainable Development."

LISTENING to Mozart boosts your brain power. At least, that's the theory that sent a certain CD soaring to the top of the classical bestsellers list on Internet bookstore Amazon.com.
The excitement started six years ago when researchers reported that people scored better on a standard IQ test after listening to Mozart. But last summer, this "Mozart Effect" suffered a setback when several sceptics repeated the original study but failed to find any improvement.
This is not the end of the story, though. A closer look shows that Mozart's music does have a profound effect on the brain, though no one yet knows why. Rats raised on Mozart run through mazes faster and more accurately. ...

THE Stanbic Bank share price has resurged once more, gaining 25% as demand for the bank's stock continues to outweigh supply.
Demand for 8,327,476 shares at the sh20 per share price has remained unmatched by outstanding supply of 1,093,755 shares at the new sh25 per share price, causing a stale mate on the counter.
Analysts have predicted weaker end of year financial results for the banking industry for the year 2012 after a profit warning was placed by dfcu Bank at the end of 2012.
"There was less growth in loans in 2012 due to the high lending rates. We expect lower growth in the banking industry with the exception of Stanbic Bank, which has access to liquidity from its mother bank in South Africa and has higher non-interest income," said Arthur Nsiko, a broker with African Alliance securities.
"There was high growth in the year 2011. However, the base effect may shrink banking growth in 2012. dfcu Bank already placed a profit warning and smaller banks may not record any profit," he added.
Non-performing loans had gone up to 4.9% at the end of 2012, from 2.4% the previous year, denting profit margins.
Demand on the Umeme counter has remained healthy. By the close of business on Tuesday, an outstanding offer of 658,221 was outmatched by demand for 3,035,400 shares at the sh275 per share level.
Nsiko says the Umeme share price is likely to trade between a sh295 - sh300 range in coming weeks after the company tested the levels in previous weeks.
"The current sh275 level is an under valuation. Due to the bonus shares that shareholders enjoyed at the Initial Public Offer, they effectively paid sh250 for each share, at the moment there is high retail demand.
"We expect the share price to resume the sh295-sh300 in coming weeks. Analysis shows that the company is barely selling above 100,000 shares in each session due to retail investors," Nsiko explained.
He said supply has picked up on the dfcu counter at sh1,300 per share level against demand at the sh1,000 per share level to make way for another stalemate.
Supply of 277,848 shares on the New Vision counter and supply of 532,713 shares on the Uganda Clays counter were left hanging with zero demand, while demand for 255 shares presumably by a retail investor found zero supply at the sh1,000 price.
By close of business, there was turnover of sh94.7m on the Stanbic counter and sh17.8m on the Umeme counter, while the All-share index went up to 1335.41, from 1334.43.

Re: left sphenoid sinus chronically infected
Hi gcsmithjr,
You have a lot of knowledge I see about sinus's. Thank you for your suggestions
I have to clarify what they wrote on the two separate scans that took place two years from each other.
The 1st scan-2004, which was a CT scan said that they saw fluid involving the sphenoid sinus on the left, presumably inflammatory in etiology.
My PCP doc didn't say to treat it.
I went for the CAT scan for a totally different reason other than to check my sinus's.
2nd scan- 2006, which was an MRI, performed on the brain for lesions said that the MRI of the brain: normal study- chronic Sinusitis on the left sphenoid sinus only exception. Exception being it was the only thing that they found that wasn't normal. My dr hand wrote this on a sheet he sends to his patients regarding their tests.
Once again, my doctor didn't say to treat it.
through out the years I've suffered on and off with sinus headaches and green discharge when my sinus would become unblocked. I did nothing to treat it being my dr. hadn't suggested to do anything about it.
I could normally tolerate the changes that had occured subtly over the years.
But last week was the week that really made me consider doing something about the problem. The pain I suffered through out my skull was horrible. If I hadn't taken an advil for it, I would have gone to the emergency room thinking I was having a possible anyeurism of the brain, that's HOW PAINFUL the headache was. I've only suffered this type of pain in my head when I had suffered an attack of viral meningitis years ago.
so that's when I decided to do some research on my records and never knew what the heck a sphenoid sinus was. I did read that the blood vessels are very small there which means that when this particular sinus is infected, the patient has to take a longer dose of antibiotic to eradicate it since the vessels are small and it has to work it's way through them.
I read that the only time it's considered dangerous is when it spreads to the brain which symptoms could be mood swings, trouble with vision and even coma. BUT only if it's an
attack, not
They consider acute to be an emergency. Not many people know this because it's very rare that a person GETS acute sinusitis in the sphenoid. That's why they say "it's the forgetten sinus". it's not easy to detect it like the other sinus's, other than imaging studies.
I'm not trying to make a big deal out of my problem or make my problem sound bigger than it is, but when you're the one that's suffering with the excrucable pain and are starting to have problem with vision in the eye and you can't smell things like you used to, then of course i"m not just going to sit back and not question what possiblities there are out there for me to treat it at home rather than running to the doctor who's only going to just put me on an antibiotic.
I can't take anything that will effect my blood pressure because I have hypertension and the last time I took a sudafed, I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't wait for it to wear off. But I will try the other things you mentioned because I've never tried them before. As you can see, I don't really take over the counter medications, so I'm not that familiar with which ones that are safe to take.
I'm also glad you mentioned to me that when I flush out my nose, that it will feel strange... at least I'll know what to expect and not panic. I tend to panic when my nose gets water in it because of not being able to breathe correctly through it. I have a hard time with swimming.
so it's an anti-inflammatory that I mainly need? to get the inflammation down enough to open the sinus so it can drain.
At least I know what's setting mine off. This way I can learn prevention.
you don't put your hand into a fire twice. right?
enough of my rambling on here, thanks again for your time and for your comments.
best regards,

Rodong Sinmun Calls for Defusing Inter-Korean Confrontation
| Pyongyang, March 26 (KCNA) -- It is an urgent task for independent and peaceful reunification of the country to improve the inter-Korean relations, says Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a bylined article.
It goes on:
If the north-south relations are to improve, it is necessary, above all, to defuse the confrontation between them and realize positive dialogue.
Dialogue between the north and the south is a basic way for achieving national reconciliation, unity, peace and reunification.
It is the consistent stand of the DPRK to improve the inter-Korean relations and pave a wide avenue for peace and reunification by promoting dialogue.
Dialogue serves as driving force for improving the inter-Korean relations and achieving peace and reunification whereas a denial of dialogue amounts to a criminal act of bedeviling those relations and bringing the danger of war.
The Koreans in the north and the south desire peace, not confrontation, and aspire after reunification, not division.
The reunification movement organizations and progressives of different strata in south Korea strongly urge the authorities to come out for inter-Korean dialogue without any condition. Strong voices calling for dialogue and peace are heard among overseas Koreans, too.
The south Korean ruling forces would be well advised to face up to the trend of the times and clearly understand the wishes of the whole nation and properly approach dialogue.
Inter-Korean dialogue is by no means a gift for someone. It is a crucial issue related to the destiny of the nation and the prospect of the inter-Korean relations. Desiring dialogue means patriotism and reunification whereas the denial of it means treachery and an anti- reunification action.

Name of product:Canon G10
Approximate date of purchase:October 2008
My Review
I was told how great the Canon cameras were from my husband, who had used nothing but Canon for his photography, which covered many years. He bought me the G10 as we do a lot of traveling. Twice the camera failed on me. The first time I could not figure out what was wrong and blamed it on the battery. The second time I could not get it to work, so I sent it to have it repaired. It ended up the company had to send it to Canon factory, costing me well over $200. for the money my husband paid for this and to have failed me twice, I know I will never purchase a Canon once this goes out. Also, of note, my husband bought a G12, which he finally gave to our son because he was so disappointed in the quality of the camera. I bought him an Olympus Penn which he loves. I really did like the easy operating of the Canon and the beautiful pictures it does take, but now I have the fear of it failing me once again on one of my travels. It was the shutter mechanism that had to be replaced.

Equestrian Figure Gold Weight
Gold was extremely important in the economic and political life of the Akan kingdoms of southern Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. Until the mid-nineteenth century, gold dust was the primary form of currency in the region. In order to measure precise amounts of gold, an elaborate system of weights, usually made of cast brass, developed by the seventeenth century. Gold weights took many forms: simple geometric shapes; animals, such as leopards or birds; objects, such as chairs or swords; and human figures. The figures, animals, and objects are often associated with proverbs. The sankofa bird, with head turned backward, represents the proverb "One must turn to the past to move forward."
This text refers to these objects: ' 1990.221.63; 74.218.23; 74.218.24; 74.218.29; 74.218.58; 74.218.62; 74.218.68; 74.218.85; 74.218.117; 88.192.37; 88.192.47; 88.192.63; 88.192.66; 88.192.70; 88.192.76; 88.192.88; 88.192.99; 88.192.127; 88.192.129; 67.25.15; 67.25.14; 45.11.5; 81.168.1

Foxconn persuades Apple to drop search for second iPad manufacturer?
Despite the recent rumor that Apple was looking to add a second manufacturer to its iPad supply chain, DigiTimes's magic 8-ball now says it won't happen... this year at least. Foxconn has convinced Apple that it can manage the whole iPad operation on its own.
Foxconn has exerted its efforts to protect its orders and apparently has persuaded Apple to not shift some of its iPad orders to other contractors for the moment.
Pegatron Technology were the likely manufacturer that Apple had ready to step into the fray; should it be needed. It now appears that Pegatron will have to make do with its rumored order for iPhone 5s instead. Pegatron are still looking to secure orders for future versions of the iPad as well as notebook and desktop Macs according to the same sources. Pegatron Technology currently manufactures the Verizon CDMA iPhone 4 for Apple.

Foxconn persuades Apple to drop search for second iPad manufacturer?
Your kidding right? They are just little finger condoms. Your whole hand in a latex glove for as long as their shift is would turn mush so they just cover their fingers.
Apple's probably afraid Foxconn will just start outright gunning down their employees if they don't get all of their work. It's bad enough on the employees there to get out the current demand. The high rate of suicides at Foxconn is not a coincidence, people!

Now it was time to seal the panel with KBS' RustSeal. This paint cures to a rock-hard, yet flexible, watertight seal. It penetrates the pores of the metal and permanently seals the surface from water and oxygen. Following the directions on the can, we thinned it out a bit and loaded it into our gun. We could have just brushed it on, but this was a quicker and more efficient way to cover our fenders. Two tips they push: Don't shake the can, and if using a brush, do not dip the brush into the can; use a separate container to prevent contamination. We applied two thin coats then left the fenders to cure for two to four hours. You can also see in this image the zinc phosphate coating left on the panel from the RustBlast. According to KBS there's no need to remove this residue prior to applying the RustSeal.
Here's one of our fenders all sealed from the elements and ready for further bodywork. The RustSeal has only moderate UV stability, so if you treat any areas that will be in direct UV light you'll want to make sure to top coat it with something like their BlackTop product. Our fender is going to be sanded and painted, so for us it wasn't an issue. Also, don't let this stuff dry on your skin, in your paint gun, or anywhere else you don't want it to be for a very long time.
Now that we have an idea of what it will take to get our Project Track Rat's body looking great and ready for paint, we can start making calls and getting the supplies needed into the shop. Besides the various replacement parts from NPD we also needed quite a few body preparation supplies. When figuring out your budget be sure to factor in these supplies as well as any special tools you will need if you plan on tackling the job yourself.
One reason why paint jobs are so expensive is because the materials to get it done right are downright pricey. We got an estimation of what we would need to take our '68 from a beat-down roller to a ride resembling the Ben Hermance rendering and started dialing. As we work on the car we will track every disc, pad, and item used, so at the completion of the project, we'll know exactly what was used and how much it cost. Of course every build is unique, but this should at least give you an idea.
This will also give us an excuse to try out the new Hook-It II sanding discs from 3M. Rather than using a one-time adhesive coating, this line employees a Velcro system to hold the disc to the pad. This means that if you need to switch discs, you can easily do so without wasting materials. This is a good thing since the discs can run a couple of bucks each.
Cutting discs, grinding discs, and items like hand pads and tape all add up fast and cut deep into the budget. It's tempting to shop by price, but that doesn't always save you cash since the more expensive products generally work longer before needing to be replaced. Choose your materials based on value, not on price alone.
By comparison, tools can quickly make the cost of materials look cheap. Most guys that are looking to tackle bodywork already have basics like a compressor and air tools, but there's also the need for specialty items like blocks and other metal working tools. Then there are welders. We have quite a bit of metal stitching to do, so we picked up this Millermatic Passport Plus MIG welder. This unit is perfect for a smaller shop that wants a truly portable and self-contained MIG welder. It can run on either 115v or 230v and has a small, self-contained gas cylinder that's good for up to 25 minutes of welding. It can handle mild and stainless steel from 24-gauge up to 3/8-inch and has infinite voltage control for dialing in just the right setting. At only 45-lbs, we'll easily be able to take it with us wherever we're working on our project Camaro.

Loma Prieta Winery Description
Located at approximately 2,300 feet above sea level, the first thing you notice after ascending the long driveway to Loma Prieta's tasting room is the glorious views of Santa Cruz and Monterey. These views are only improved when you have the opportunity to relax in their tasting room or on the patio. The tasting room is warm and welcoming, with a roaring fire in the winter to help remove any chill from the air. Comfortable, enveloping chairs beckon you to sit down and relax while you sip wine and catch up with friends. If you are not smiling yet, just wait until Mo, the winery dog comes up to greet you. His happy, go lucky nature is sure to bring a smile to your face, as well as to the faces of any children who accompany their parents to the winery. The tasting room is children friendly and offers coloring pads and markers for them to enjoy, as well as ample outdoor space.
The patio at Loma Prieta Winery is a place where one could surely spend hours soaking up the sun, and the gorgeous scenery. On warm summer days, the patio invites you to sit back and relax and enjoy a picnic while absorbing the beauty around you. Or if a little exercise is in order, be sure to challenge your friends to a spirited game of bocce ball, perhaps while sipping a glass of Viognier to balance out the warm summer heat.

Games that have animals as the main character. The character must be playable.
Anthropomorphism is the concept of an object, concept or character that has human qualities or traits, such as speech, a level of intelligence similar or higher than a human's and self consciousness. "Anthro" means "of human" and related to the concept of humanity.
A protagonist who lacks some or all of the qualities traditionally seen as heroic.
Anytime an ally comes in to help you in any way. This mechanic is most common in fighting games.
Baditude is being "edgy" in an obviously forced or fake manner. Games with baditude often feature excessive swearing, gratuitous violence, and content meant to shock or offend.
A race of aliens who are evil.
A protagonist who is arrogant, cynical, and aggressive, but also intelligent and introspective. Named after the English Romanticist writer Lord Byron, who popularized such characters and was said to have fit this description himself.
Small, pet-like creatures able to be raised, raced and entered into battles by the player in various Sonic games. They also appeared in the Mario and Sonic series as audience members.
A Symbol that belongs to a character and an award for doing a great deed.
Many video game villains oftentimes laugh in evil ways, be it a vicious cackle, a sneering chuckle, or a booming laugh. Common evil laughs often include "Bwa-ha-ha", "Mwa-ha-ha", or "Ho ho ho".
A dark version of a game's hero, featuring many of the same powers. Usually wears black. Male evil twins often have goatees.

A lap is one circuit around a race track. This is featured in many, but not all racing games.
A weapon that has been forged and/or imbued with mystical energy, magic, or some other supernatural force. It is often required to solve a specific puzzle, or vanquish an impossible foe.
Characters that are initially portrayed as evil, but eventually turn out to be good or not as serious of a threat. This also includes villains who remain evil the entire game, but contain some sense of moral goodness or ambiguity.
Any character you can control in a game is a Player Character (PC), as opposed to a non-player character (NPC), which is a character that can only be controlled by the game.
When one character pretends (or poses, hence the name) to be another character. This is usually done to make the character who is being posed be the scapegoat for crimes.
A page about different rivals seen in video games, such as Shadow the Hedgehog, the numerous rivals from Pokemon games, and so on.
Protagonists that have gravity defying hair styles and often appropriately spikey personalities.
First introduced in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, this attack has been in almost every Sonic game since.
Super Forms in the Sonic the Hedgehog games are transformations achieved by characters usually using the power of the Chaos Emeralds.
Super Speed is the ability for a character to travel at speeds normally unattainable by regular humans.
Super speed can be a stock super power by characters such as the Flash & Sonic the Hedgehog, or a technologically enhanced ability like Nomad in Crysis.
Characters whose ages have never been revealed in a game or officially by the creators. This may be due to an added sense of mystery, to avoid controversy, or just lazy character development.
Just as heroes sometimes fall from grace, occasionally someone who works for the forces of evil will turn their life around and become a Good Guy.
