Pan Am Vintage-Style Mini Shoulder Bag
The ultimate accessory. The Pan Am Mini bag works wherever you go.
Pan Am represents a way of travel long since forgotten: a time when the journey was anticipated as much as the destination. With Pan Am, "getting there" always meant unmatched civility pooled with the pinnacle of cool.
Today, nothing better represents the Pan Am experience than the Pan Am bag. When Pan Am introduced the world to the jet age, the Pan Am bag was seen as more than just a carry on; it was a proudly carried symbol that represented a once in a lifetime experience. With a Pan Am bag, people not only carried it, they wore it proudly. The Originals Collection pays homage to these classic icons of culture.
The ultimate accessory for whatever you are wearing. The Pan Am Mini bag works wherever you go. Use the 18" handles or throw it over your shoulder with the removable strap.

"It is often said, mainly by the "no-contests", that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thought it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"
Richard Dawkins
"Out of all of the sects in the world, we notice an uncanny coincidence: the overwhelming majority just happen to choose the one that their parents belong to. Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favour, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained glass, the best music: when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing, compared to the matter of heredity. This is an unmistakable fact; nobody could seriously deny it. Yet people with full knowledge of the arbitrary nature of this heredity, somehow manage to go on believing in their religion, often with such fanaticism that they are prepared to murder people who follow a different one."

"Test all things; hold fast what is good.": 1 Thessalonians 5:21
"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!"

My life philosophy: "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
I am an extremely laid back individual. I go with the flow most of the time - but that doesn't mean I'm a pushover. I'm very loyal and have a big heart. I like to think I'm pretty low maintenance and not as materialistic as most others. I'm always happy exploring new places or a quiet night in - watching tv or a movie with a nice glass of wine. I am looking for a guy who is intelligent and kind, shares a similar sense of humor, has an inner quietness and is financially stable, but isn't obsessed with money and who knows how to deal with his emotions. My job requires me to travel for weeks at a time, so I need someone who can be secure in himself and be okay with that level of distance sometimes. Someone who I can be silly with and can appreciate all sides of me including my dorky/nerdiness. I want a guy who would have no problem with me going out while wearing my Hogwarts hoodie and doesn't judge me for my annual Harry Potter Marathons. Bottom line: I am happy with who I am, and the life I have created for myself. Now I am looking for someone to share that life with.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting

I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Cats
I have 2 cats, (Scooter and Weebs) of whom my roommate and I brought home and rescued after someone abandoned them by our workplace. I guess you could say I'm compassionate. I definitely have a big heart
I like to go to the Town Center and try out different restaurants in the area. I am always up for exploring somewhere new too, however I also occasionally enjoy being a homebody, curled up on the couch watching netflix or reading a book.
Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL
Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens.... Those are just a few, we can chat about the rest later
I enjoy concerts, live entertainment, theme parks and volunteering as well as exploring new places with friends. I wish I had time to travel more, but while that currently isn't an option, the occasional trip to the movies is always welcome.
Some of my favorite books are The Gift of Fear, Pride and Prejudice, and To Kill a Mockingbird.... and of course, my collection of Calvin and Hobbes

A California woman has been denied parole from a 25-years-to-life prison term she's been serving for killing her husband -- and then cooking and eating some of his remains.
Omaima Nelson, a former nanny and model whom prosecutors compared to the fictional cannibal Hannibal Lecter, was convicted in 1993 of second-degree murder in the death of her 56-year-old husband, William. A psychiatrist testified that she was probably psychotic at the time of the killing.
Nelson, a native of Egypt who was 23 at the time of the murder, will not again be eligible for parole for 15 years, or until 2026, according to a prosecutor at her parole hearing, Randy Pawloski.
Nelson was not represented by an attorney as she appeared before parole commissioners at the Central California Women's Facility in Chowcilla, Calif.
She was denied parole partly because, according to Pawloski, she shows no remorse, takes no responsibility for her actions and still blames the victims.
Over Thanksgiving weekend in 1991, prosecutors said Nelson pulled out a pair of scissors and stabbed her husband in their apartment in Costa Mesa, Calif. She then cut off her husband's head and genitals.
According to the DA's office, Nelson cooked her husband's hands in oil, boiled the head and placed it in the freezer. She later used a garbage disposal to get rid of the chopped-up body parts.
Nelson claimed she was acting in self-defense because her husband was sexually assaulting her; prosecutors claimed that she was probably planning to rob him. They said she enlisted the help of two ex-boyfriends to remove her husband's teeth so his remains could not be identified.
The district attorney's office said Nelson "has failed to complete any educational or vocational classes while incarcerated and has failed to abide by prison rules."
Pawloski said Nelson should remain behind bars and is still a threat to public safety.
Nelson previously tried to seek parole in 2006, but was denied after prosecutors argued she was a still a threat.
According to The Associated Press, attorney Terrence Scott, who represented Nelson in the 2006 appeal, said the reason she chopped her husband's body into parts was so that she wouldn't meet him in the afterlife, as Egyptian myth purportedly claims will happen.
"It is certainly one of the most gruesome ... crimes ever committed in Orange County and sometime people need reminding of that," Pawloski told the Los Angeles Times.
Thomas Mooney, Nelson's defense attorney at the time of the trial, said abuse from several men, including her husband, triggered the psychotic event.
"She's been in custody for 20 years and perhaps she should be granted parole because at the time, she said she was being raped by the deceased and acted in self defense, which would reduce the case to manslaughter."
Nelson moved to the United States from Egypt in the late 1980s. She met William Nelson, a convicted marijuana drug smuggler, after moving to California.
"She wanted the lifestyle of Southern California, which was very exciting to her," said Mooney.
Two months month later, the couple married.
Nelson testified during the trial that at an early age, she had a forced circumcision that caused her much pain growing up. When she moved to the U.S., she said she was abused by several men, including William Nelson.

Letter: More news, less rhetoric
Not so very long ago you could watch national network news and get a very even look at the political picture, real reporting on the platforms of each party. We respected the anchors primarily because it was not blatantly obvious which political party the anchor and/or network were backing.
It was frustrating that CBS found it necessary to show only one hour of the Republican National Convention and then had the audacity to talk over some of the speeches, not the least of which was Condoleezza Rice's amazing speech. But was that on the evening news? No, that might show the Republican Party in a positive light.
Then CBS chose to run the Democratic National Convention during evening news, and you couldn't hear the news for the noise from the convention. And the allotted one-hour time slot for the convention was of course stretched for the Democratic convention.
It would be refreshing to see a little more factual reporting on the network news and a little less rhetoric.

Lulz I actually had a dream once (A brief one) of a friend's character teaching me alteration magic there. He's a dragon that prefers the form of a scaly raptor <3
His natural dragon-self: http://chizmo-fireclaw.deviantart.com/art/Chizmo-Dragon-Reference-330763443
And his (much much smaller) favored raptor form: http://chizmo-fireclaw.deviantart.com/art/Chizmo-Fireclaw-Reference-326384711
I can see the resemblance in both forms, and they're both so CUTE. Most folks know him as a raptor though =3
*Edit* I noticed he has red scales and black stripes as a draggy, but black scales and red stripes as a raptor. He has the yellow "quills" on his head and neck in both forms though

Originally written on Fox Sports West | Last updated 8/28/13
LOS ANGELES No reason to worry about Clayton Kershaw. He's fine. The collective gasp that took place at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night turned out to be a false alarm. Kershaw was hit above his left ankle by a line drive and went down for a moment, but he's OK. The Dodgers' offense is not. On a night when Kershaw didn't have his best stuff, the Dodgers were beaten by the Chicago Cubs 3-2. Since their 10-game win streak ended on Aug. 18, they've gone 5-5 and have been held to two runs or fewer six times. In Kershaw's eight losses this season, the Dodgers have scored just 12 runs. "I feel like it's nothing more than a little bit of a lull," manager Don Mattingly said. "Some of the guys are tired. We'll be fine." Mattingly cited the unusual start times his team has had to endure the past week. Their recent road trip ended with a 9:40 a.m. West Coast start in Miami, and last weekend they started games at 7 p.m., 1 and 5 against the Boston Red Sox. Tuesday night's game against the...

I know that losing an 18 inning game in which you lost the lead twice after the 8th inning is tough to swallow, so I understand the anger and frustration of many of the posts lately. I am just as angry and frustrated.
However, my grandfather always taught me that when I am this angry to write a letter venting all my anger, read it over, then throw it away. It clears out all the venom in my system, and then lets me move on in a more rational manner.
Being rational is frowned upon in most message boards, this one no exception, but I will try to put Sunday's loss into a little perspective, which will hopefully calm down some of the irrational un-exuberance that has overtaken this board.
1) Even with Sunday's lose, the Reds just went on a 8-5 run, which is a sign of clear improvement.
2) The Reds averaged 5.6 runs a game over that stretch, so I think it is safe to say that the offense is finally on track.
3) The Cubs just lost 2 out of 3 to both Houston and Pittsburgh. And it looks like they are having serious bullpen problems.
4) The Cardinals just went 8-10 and dropped Izzy as their closer.
5) The Brewers are losing and have all sorts of bullpen and rotation problems.
6) The Reds are only 6 1/2 games out of first right now.
7) Jay Bruce will be up here, playing regularly very shortly.
Considering all of that, I am very optimistic that the Reds will compete for the NL Central title this year.

Long distance relationships require patience so if you want to save it you would have to be patient. It's all about the want to.
It is good to be patient but the key word that influenced my answer is (save)
If it has got to the point where you have to save your relationship it's time to move on
If you really like/love him and he feels the same way then go for it.
Patience is key but both people need to really want the relationship and obviously have a serious plan for the end to the distance
No,it's not worth it.

It won't work
if the person means that much to you then ya.
If you have to ask, it probably isn't worth the bother.
It depends .. Are you happy with this person. Does this person treat you with respect and want to to make it work?

If so .. then it's worth working on ...

Only you would know the answer to this ...
As a couple, his issues become your issues as well. Those issues will affect you whether you want them to or not. Only you can decided if you're willing to help him work through those issues.
What's the issue?

Idol chatter: Lazaro's exit interview
"This show kinda forced me to lose my nerves. I don't have a specific thing that I would like to do, but I would love to act."
Is it true that you want to act on Glee?
"Yes that is one of my goals after the tour."
Are there any other TV shows you would like to appear on?
" 'Modern Family,' cause I love that show."
Do you have any regrets about the songs you chose for Wednesday night?
"The first song was another hard song. We had a last minute key change. So it was kind of rough. But at the same time, I think I came back [with my next song] really well. I don't think I had any regrets, because my last song I did really well."
Did you have a feeling you would be leaving the show Thursday night?
"I wasn't surprised 'cause all the guys had been going home. I wasn't shocked that it was my turn. All the 5 women left are so good. In all honestly, winning a TV show wasn't my main goal. My main goal was to get known and become a performer. And I think I was closer to that."
Did you agree with Nicki that Jimmy was getting into your head and affecting your performances?
"We were never in the same room for more than 5 minutes. He was kind of like a mentor on the show. We never really got to interact more. But the times that we met, he seemed really nice. I kind of question that. But at the same time, I do think that his bad comments about me – I did let them get them [get me] a little bit down."
How does it feel to make it so far in the competition after having to overcome so much?
"I have so much going on, that I am most definitely looking for what's to come next. I feel great."
How did the experience change you?
My stuttering has definitely subsided a little bit more. I think part of that has to do with the fact that I've learned to control my nerves a little better."
What is the first thing you are going to do when you get home?
Probably go to the park with my family cause I miss them a lot. I know for a fact that my old high school has a pep rally for me. I'm looking forward to that. We'll see."
Do you have any regrets from the show?
"Sometimes I wish I was smarter about choosing my songs. Because I think I picked songs that weren't the right songs, every now and then. But at the same time, I do believe that everything does happen for a motive."
What motivated you to audition for American Idol?
"The love for performing and the love for music. I've always been the kind of guy that wanted to do something with myself."

Barge Traffic
Houston Ship Channel Access is Limited
HOUSTON - The Coast Guard Captain of the Port has reopened waterways in and around Texas, Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico with some restrictions. Waterway Updates: The Houston Ship Channel is open to all tug and barge traffic, daylight transit only. The channel is also open to vessels drafting less than 35 feet. The Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GICW) is open to all tug and barge traffic, daylight transit only, from mile marker (MM) 277 to MM 350 and from MM248 (Devall West Fleet) to MM 266. The Calcasieu, Neches and Sabine Rivers are open to tug and barge traffic, daylight transit only, with the exception of the Calcasieu River to Cameron. Entergy repair personnel and Coast Guard personnel are working to remove a downed power line in the vicinity of MM 268 of the GICW. Mariners are advised that aids to navigation may be off station and extreme caution should be used while transiting. Mariners should report all discrepancies and obstructions to the U.S. Coast Guard.
Mississippi Lock Could Reopen This Weekend
A Mississippi River lock undergoing repairs that have forced barge tows to use a smaller auxiliary chamber are expected to be back in service by Sunday, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said. The 1,200-foot main chamber at the Melvin Price Locks and Dam near Alton, Ill., has been closed to navigation since Jan. 28 because of a mechanical problem with a lift gate. The unscheduled repairs slowed barge traffic and created a traffic backlog
Sunken Vessel Backs Up Mississippi Traffic
The Mississippi River near the Kentucky-Tennessee border reopened to southbound barge traffic early Thursday (Feb. 17) after the motor vessel Navigator sank Tuesday night and backed up barge traffic, the U.S. Coast Guard said. About 20 southbound tows were awaiting passage when the river was reopened at 8:15 a.m. CST (1415 GMT) Thursday, said Lt. Cmdr. Bruce Fisher, the Coast Guard's chief of port operations in Memphis
Barge Traffic Tied In Knots On Mississippi

Traffic Resumes Through LaGrange Lock
Barges were moving through the LaGrange Lock south of Peoria on the Illinois River on Tuesday after workers broke through a wall of ice near the lock late on Saturday, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers official said. "LaGrange is open but traffic is moving slowly. Ice is still very intense but we're still locking boats with a width restriction of 95 ft.," the official said. "There was up to eight barges waiting but we're down to three southbound tows and one northbound waiting to get through the
Barge Traffic Still Slow On Mississippi
Barge traffic on U.S. Midwest rivers continued slow as low water levels on the upper and lower Mississippi River and ice buildup on the Illinois River kept navigation treacherous, Reuters reported on Wednesday. "At the Memphis gauge, the water level is about three feet below the desired level," said Lt. Brian Meier, U.S. Coast Guard spokesman, Memphis office. "The forecast is for water levels to stay pretty steady for next couple days," he said.
Low Water Hampers River Traffic
Already low water on the Mississippi River around St. Louis was expected by this weekend to approach levels too shallow for barge transportation, and a damaged lock slowed river traffic near Davenport, Iowa, river officials said Thursday. The St. Louis gauge for the Mississippi was at 3.0 feet on Wednesday and was forecast to hit 0.0 feet by Saturday. River traffic can continue operation through St. Louis until the gauge hits -3

The wrath of Brendan Shanahan has been felt. New York Rangers forward Carl Hagelin has been suspended by the NHL for three games for elbowing Daniel Alfredsson in the head and that Senators defenceman Matt Carkner has been suspended one game for repeatedly punching Brian Boyle in the face his tremendous *********** of Brian Boyle. Of course, thanks to the whimsical nature of the NHL's disciplinary decisions, no one was entirely confident in what kinds of punishment, if any, would be handed out to either of the aforementioned players.But now that the decisions have been rendered, we can dissect what each of these mean to either club. When Paul MacLean's Pete DeBoer'esque starting lineup was announced as Matt Carkner, Jared Cowen, Zenon Konopka, Chris Neil and Zack Smith, the message was clear: if you take liberties with Erik Karlsson or another one of our elite players, you're going to have your face caved in. We can endlessly debate whether we're celebrating Carkner's actions or the...

Richard Messina / Hartford Courant
May 23, 2013
There great room has a view of Long Island Sound through a series of french doors and windows. A combination of a love of the water, navel history, and architecture, led Jason Pilalas to want to own a lighthouse. In October 1991, Pilalas got his chance and purchased the Morgan Point Light house, in Noank, for a little over $1 million. After nearly putting in twice that much in renovations by gutting the lighthouse to the granite walls and adding on to the personal living space behind the structure, the Pilalas' were able to move in in May of 1993.

From the Field: Imams Encourage TB Treatment in Tajikistan
As a community health specialist with USAID's Quality Health Care Project in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, I educate community members, medical workers, patients, and their families about tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis, treatment, and infection control. My job involves being constantly available and responsive to the needs of patients and their families, and I tend to work unusual hours in order to fit into their schedules. Still, I was a bit surprised when I received a call from Safarov Khudodod in the middle of the night last month. Khudodod is an imam, a religious leader at his mosque, and he was so excited about a TB testing referral he made after his sermon that he couldn't wait until the morning to share it with me.
"I heard the man coughing and approached him to ask him about his symptoms. I encouraged him to get tested. He just reported back to me that he tested positive for TB and will begin treatment immediately," he said.
Imams in Tajikistan play a major role in the lives of their congregations. They lead ceremonies such as weddings and funerals and provide religious advice to those seeking it. USAID is working with religious leaders in Tajikistan to inform them about the causes and treatment of TB. USAID workshops are helping participants like Imam Khudodod to encourage known TB patients in their communities to get treatment and teach them how to avoid transmitting the disease to others. I meet with workshop participants several times a year to help them complete self-designed outreach plans. The 62 people we've trained have already reached approximately 20,000 community members.
Before he attended USAID's TB workshop, Imam Khudodod told us he knew very little about TB. "Before, we thought that TB was a genetic disease, but now we know it isn't. Many people in my community think that TB isn't curable, so they don't get treatment. I share information about TB at all of my meetings with my congregation, even at weddings and births. I have already reached out to over 5,000 people."
Tajikistan has the highest rate of TB incidence in Central Asia and one of the highest multi-drug resistant TB rates in the world. Encouraging individuals to complete treatment and teaching them basic rules of infection control are key steps in eradicating TB in countries like Tajikistan.
Imam Khudodod is optimistic about the future of TB in his country: "I think that the next generation will be healthy and will know about TB."
Rio+20: The Demographic Dividend and Sustainable Development
Some of the fastest growing economies in the world today are in East Asia and Latin America – countries that were among the poorest in the world just 40-50 years ago. A distinguishing common feature of these countries today is that the working age population—those between 15 and 64—is larger than the dependent population—the very young and old.
The demographic dividend is an opportunity that arises when a country transitions from high to low rates of fertility and child and infant mortality. This transition creates a generation that is significantly larger than the generations immediately preceding and following it. As this cohort enters working age, they have the potential to enter into productive economic activities and invest savings at relatively high rates, thus spurring heightened economic growth.
Family Planning Accelerates Improvements in Child Survival
This blog post is published in conjunction with the Child Survival Call to Action, which was convened June 14-15 by the Governments of the United States, India, and Ethiopia, and organized in close collaboration with UNICEF.
On a recent visit to northeast Bangladesh, I had the opportunity to visit rural postpartum women in their homes. My colleagues and I were undertaking site visits to a USAID program that provided integrated newborn, maternal and family planning services at the community level. After we entered the home of our first visit, we congratulated the new mother, who was holding her newborn wrapped in a blanket in her arms. We asked her how many children she had. She replied quietly, "This was my twelfth pregnancy — it is my fifth living child." She explained that three children died as newborns, two were stillborn, and she had two miscarriages. The woman was only 32 years old. We heard similar stories from other women whom we interviewed.
The first step to ensure that a child reaches their 5th birthday starts even before they are born. USAID promotes Healthy Timing and Spacing of Pregnancy as a vital family planning intervention that helps ensure that pregnancies occur at the healthiest times in a woman's life. Mothers and children are then more likely to survive and stay healthy.
A USAID analysis found that, by preventing closely spaced births, family planning could save the lives of more than 1.6 million children under five annually.

An Oasis for New Moms
This blog post is published in conjunction with the Child Survival Call to Action, which was convened June 14-15 by the Governments of the United States, India, and Ethiopia, and is organized in close collaboration with UNICEF.
The new mothers I met at the Regional Maternity Hospital in Kyzylorda, a province in southern Kazakhstan, were as weathered as the salty desert earth all around us. Their young faces appeared determined but exhausted, hinting at the many hundreds of kilometers they had to travel to reach the hospital in time to give birth.
The newborns these mothers cradled in their arms weighed less than a handful of apples. This region historically has suffered from the country's highest newborn mortality rates. Kyzylorda suffers from many unhealthy environmental factors, like the Aral Sea pollution crisis and toxic mining, which the local doctors tell us contributes to poor health outcomes for mothers and infants. Prematurity accounts for about 37 percent of newborn deaths worldwide. Asphyxia and infections are other leading causes of newborn deaths.
If these babies had been born before 2008, they would probably not be alive today. Before 2008, when USAID started helping the regional health department adopt World Health Organization (WHO) live birth criteria, these babies would not have received the life-saving interventions such as neonatal resuscitation that kept them alive in those precious hours after birth. In the four years since the Kyzylorda Oblast Health Department introduced neonatal care technology and adopted a 500 gram (1.1 pound) live birth definition, doctors here have saved around 200 babies' lives. The WHO live birth criteria state that all babies showing any signs of life, such as muscle activity, a gasp for breath, or a heartbeat should be included as a live birth and provided with interventions to keep them alive. Under the Soviet-era definition, infants who were born before 28 weeks, weighing less than 1,000 grams, or measuring less than 35 centimeters, were not counted as live births if they died within seven days.
Saving the Lives of Newborns in Indonesia
Dina, age 27, delivered her first baby Diandra at an Indonesian hospital in Central Java. Hospital staff kept Diandra away from her mother in the newborn care unit and fed her formula until they deemed Dina ready and strong enough to feed the baby. Diandra fell sick with severe diarrhea and died at the hospital ten short days later.
Each year, more than 80,000 newborn babies die in Indonesia within the first month of life from treatable conditions, the most common of which are prematurity, low birth weight, birth asphyxia, and neonatal sepsis.
"Every family has a sad story about a baby or mother they know who lost their life from complications during pregnancy, delivery or immediately after child birth. Many attribute the deaths to God's will but with the right technology, equipment, and training for health care professionals, it can be stopped," said Evodia Iswandi, Jhpiego deputy director for provincial operations in Indonesia. "Good hospital administration and policies can also go a long way to enable staff to work at their full technical capabilities."
Through Expanding Maternal and Neonatal Survival (EMAS), a U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) – funded program in Indonesia, local health care providers receive training from one of Indonesia's premier maternal and child hospital and other organizations on best practices in neonatal and maternity emergency services. Hospitals and community health centers learn how to prevent and treat hemorrhaging, premature delivery, low birth weight, high blood pressure, birth asphyxia, and other causes of death. USAID's EMAS program also helps reform Indonesia's referral system so that mothers and babies get to the right place, at the right time, in order to receive the right medical treatment.
"USAID is partnering with Muhammadiyah, one of the largest and most respected Islamic organizations in Indonesia committed to diversity and pluralism, to save lives and sustain EMAS even after the program ends," said USAID/Indonesia Mission Director Glenn Anders.
Ending Child Mortality
Originally posted as an OpEd in Politico. Actor Ben Affleck is founder and director of the Eastern Congo Initiative. Rajiv Shah is administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development.
More than 7 million children — most of them in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia — are expected to die this year before reaching their fifth birthday. These kids will never have the chance to follow a passion or fulfill their potential.
But in our lifetime, we have made remarkable headway toward ending child mortality around the globe. In the past 50 years, the child global mortality rate has declined by 70 percent. In just the past 20 years, the number of child deaths has fallen by 4.4 million each year.
This progress is extraordinary. Yet there are still places, like the Democratic Republic of Congo, that these advances have yet to reach. In Congo, a country buffeted by decades of violence and political instability, nearly 465,000 children die each year from preventable diseases, like malaria, pneumonia and diarrhea. Chronic malnutrition also afflicts nearly 45 percent of all Congolese children, permanently stunting their physical and mental development.
Strategic Help for Global Health Care
This post originally appeared in Politico.
People often ask me what the global health community can do to have more impact. The answer is easy: We could be more like Tsion Berhanu.
I met Berhanu the last time I visited Ethiopia. My colleagues and I drove to the end of the road, then kept going for 15 more minutes, until we reached the Wuye Gosee Community Health Post, a tiny, three-room, concrete structure with an outhouse.
Berhanu lived in one room and worked in the other two — caring for 1,500 people in her kebele. Women came to her for contraceptives. When they stopped using birth control and got pregnant, they came for pre-natal care. When their babies were born, she gave advice about proper nutrition. When children got a little older, she immunized them. When people were sick, she treated them if she could and referred them to the district hospital if it was serious. She also advised families on how to store clean water and build sanitary pit latrines.
This is how health care is experienced and addressed on the ground. The community of donors, agencies and NGOs dedicated to better health for the poorest— including our foundation— has access to many more resources than Berhanu. What we don't always do is drive conversation and innovation that can reflect her experience and perspective.

1,000 Photos
As of today, 1,000 people around the world have posted photos of their 5th birthday in support of the Every Child Deserves a 5th Birthday awareness campaign. From Secretary Hillary Clinton and Kay Warren to Tony Hawk and Mandy Moore, government representatives, faith-based and civil society leaders, celebrity activists and athletes have uploaded photos of themselves at age five to help rally the world around the goal of ending preventable child death and ensuring all children get to celebrate their 5th birthday.
Age five is an important time. It's when we start going to school, learning to read and making our own decisions. Age five is also an important milestone in the health and development of children. Over the last 50 years—especially in the last two decades—child mortality has fallen by 70 percent thanks to high-impact interventions like new vaccines, improved health care practices and community health workers.
Despite this progress, more than 7 million children will die this year from largely preventable causes before they turn five. In Africa alone, 1 in 8 children will die before they celebrate their 5th birthday. In order to change this devastating narrative, we must do more.
Today, we have the scientific, technological and programmatic advances to dramatically accelerate progress. Today, the Governments of the United States, Ethiopia and India are working in close collaboration with UNICEF to launch a Call to Action in Child Survival. Designed to end preventable child death by focusing on the survival of newborns, children and mothers, the Call to Action will convene 700 prominent leaders from government, the private sector, faith-based organizations and civil society to kick off a long-term, strategic effort to save children's lives.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amateurish but entertaining,
SID "Punk" (BOSTON) - See all my reviews
"Set it Off" is far from remarkable, but it's amiable and entertaining. The screenplay was definitely written by amateurs, packing as much melodrama into the storyline as possible. First we introduce the character of Jada Pinkett's brother. She's like a mother figure to him, since their parents are dead. He's a nice guy, gets into a fight with his sister and flees the house. It's no surprise when he turns out dead two scenes later. Then Kimberly Elise's child accidentally swallows some household substances and the custody of the kid is handed over to child services. We have Vivica A. Fox who got fired from her job at the bank and Queen Latifah who's just plain crazy. Basically, the character motivations seem ripped from a soap opera.
The film is predictable from the get-go, so just strap in for the ride. Don't expect high-class writing and high-class direction, especially from the guy who made "Friday." Don't get me wrong, that was a good movie, but like "Set it Off" it's only valuable as lightweight entertainment.
One thing I have to say is this is one black movie that didn't go for the humdrum "white people bad, black people good" premise. I assumed that was the direction the film was going after watching the first scene in which the white bank manager fires Vivica for not following procedure, totally ignoring the fact that she was at gunpoint, along with everyone else in the bank. But then we get introduced to the other two managers, who are both black and both sleazy. Not to say that black people are sleazy; it's just good knowing that the writers weren't associating the term "white" with "sleazy" and didn't see the characters in terms of color. Even the John C. McGinley character, the detective who is out to get the four women, isn't entirely sadistic.
There are a few moments that are just too silly for their own good. Are you telling me two cops are gonna be so distracted by an obnoxious vagrant that they'll totally disregard a bank robbery (literally) taking place right behind them? As I said, you can tell this was written by amateurs. And then we have Queen Latifah driving through the bank in a minivan, which is stupid in the first place and shown simply for cinematic pretentiousness, and the four women drive out, still not being actively pursued by the cops. Latifah makes one turn and suddenly she loses the cops altogether? That's too much disbelief to suspend. And of course, in the usual cinematic tradition, the minor characters have to die first. Kimberly Elise dies in standard operatic fashion--in someone's arms, saying her last words. Only in the movies can someone die like that 90 % of the time.
The acting is pretty good, though sometimes hammy. When Jada sees her brother dead on the street, screaming and crying out, "Whyyyyy!!" (I could be paraphrasing), that was too much. Latifah's role as a crazy thug wasn't much of a stretch, especially since this film was made back in her hip-hop days. She is a fine actress, though, and I prefer her more mature roles in films like "Living Out Loud." John C. McGinley and Blair Underwood add a touch of class.
If F. Gary Gray weren't so dependent on melodrama and big action spectacles to create tension, this wouldn't been a much more compelling film. Maybe someone like John Singleton or the Hughes Brothers could've made this a more powerful film. Just don't set your expectations too high and you should have a good time.

Four Black women struggling with trying to keep afloat and fighting off the biting sharks of poverty: One a single mother, another a single woman raising her only sibling: a brother, another who was wrongfully terminated from her position as a bank teller after a robbery-gone-bad, and another just fed up with her position working for Luther, the foul-mouthed owner of his own janitorial company. For each of their own individual reason, they all band together and decide to pull their own bank heist. Disguised in wigs and clear masks, they coolly and calmly walk into banks and demand money. To make matters more complicated, Stoney {Pinkett} meets and begins to fall for a branch manager played by Blair Underwood. While working for Luther, the discover he runs out with their money, and now they have to "hit" the bank one more time. With the police hot on their trail, the ill-conceived robberies fly out of control. This movie is filled with emotion, honesty, and a tragic ending. Guest appearances by Dr Dre as Black Sam and Dub-C as one of the bank robbers. This movie is a real crowd pleaser!!!
5.0 out of 5 stars THEY WERE FED UP & SNAPPED,
By A Customer
This is one of the best movies. I could understand what everyone of the characters were enduring. I have to give much props to Queen La b/c she has endured much controversy & gossip b/c of her character Cleo. Each women were involved in the life of crime because of different reasons. When you are constantly seen in negative light, never seeming to amount to anything, and always told of what you won't be able to accomplish you think, so what, who cares what I do. That's how Frankie (Vivica A. Fox) and Stony (Jada Pinkett-Smith) both felt. Frankie got involved in robbing banks after she was accused of helping the man that pointed a gun to her head and robbed the bank she worked in just because they were from the same sides of the track. Stony saw her brother gunned down because he was the victim of police violence. It didn't matter that her brother was going to college and that he happen to be friends with the wrong people, all they seen was another black boy that needed to be taken down. All they wanted was a life better than what they had, which wasn't much. You see the life on television that others seem to have, but for you, it's always out of reaching distance. This is a great movie with a really sad ending. I cried out for Stony because she really got the bad end of the deal, even though she's the only one that made it out.
4.0 out of 5 stars DISTURBING BUT POWERFUL,
D. Lewis (Memphis, Tennessee USA) - See all my reviews
F. Gary Gray is one of the most talented directors today (not black directors, but director, period!) A film major, I look forward to the day I meet him.
I can't watch this movie when I am down, because it will make me think life just ain't worth living. It has a very very depressing ending. But overall, the narrative was excellent. Each one of the girls had a motive, whether it was directly indicated or not. Black intellects trash this movie because they see it as trapping African Americans in the Boyz N the Hood genre (which was also an excellent film). But they fail to see there are so many stories within the inner cities of African Americans. It is not just about robbing banks, gangs, or drugs, it is out survival, loyalty and frienship. Which I think mainstream America really does not understand and why I think so many black women go to jail for protecting their men involved in illegal activities.
Not to veer off the subject, but set it off is about loyalty and true friendship, (just like waiting to exhale, just a different neighborhood) with a fresh twist. Hats off to F. Gary Gray!
4.0 out of 5 stars Well, it sure ain't Waiting to Exhale...,
The characters in this story were so believable. One rough and rugged, one sweet and gentle, one sophisticated and wild, and one sensible and laid back. Although these women had such varying personalities, the genuine friendship between the four looked natural and unforced. They lived mundane lives, just struggling to make ends meet. And then, they are faced with trauma that sends them over the edge, one loses her job, and almost her life, in a bank hold-up - and is accused of being involved. Another loses her kid brother after he's shot by police officers when they mistake him for someone else. That's when they decide that the only way to make it out of their situation is to get fast money - by robbing banks. The humor at the beginning of the movie and in the first bank heist disappears, however, as these women become wanted and are risking their lives to pull off one last robbery. By the end of the movie, I felt like I had lost a few good friends.
This is a great movie with a combination of romance, humor, and hard-hitting action that centers around a group of women (for a change.) - And they don't go out like Thelma and Louise either!
5.0 out of 5 stars It's da bomb,
By A Customer
Ah man when I first saw this movie I watched it like 3 times the first night. I mean it's da bomb I mean you know how they always have the movies where the men do the wild and bad things and the women are just these stupid girls who sleep with them to get money, but gary layed the rules down in this movie,and showed people that men aren't the only ones who can be bad women can do anything men can do probably even better. You see how good these girls were I mean they was just doing they thang, but it was sad at the end, because spooney(jada pinkett) was the only one left and she was rememberin what they did earlier in the movie while they were robbing banks, and everybody got killed at the end except for her. That was soo sad but I do agree her relationship with blair underwood was a one night stand and it did kind of drag the movie but that was the only mistake otherwise this movie is off the hook if you haven't seen it yet you betta run to the video store and get it now because you missing out on a lot.
2.0 out of 5 stars IN TOO DEEP,
EriKa "E" (Iceland) - See all my reviews
It was the middle of the night and nothing else was on, so I watched this. It was terrible, although Jada Pinkett Smith is a good actress and you can applaud her character's desire to get ahead in life to help her brother go to college. Unfortunately he is killed by police who mistake him for a criminal. So, Jada and her cohorts, played by Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox and another girl with whom I am unfamiliar, turn to a life of crime robbing banks themselves. Pinkett Smith was not cut out for this life of crime, though, and finds love with a bank employee (Blair Underwood of LA Law and City of Angels fame). However, she finds herself in too deep with her friends and their bank robberies, so they plan one last heist, only to end up in very big trouble. Pinkett Smith is the only one to escape (she goes to Mexico), but the story is just not held together very well.
4.0 out of 5 stars Waiting to Exhale? Not these sistahs!,
By A Customer
Feisty, spirited and ultimately tragic tale of four working class African-American women who decide to hold up banks when the "system" holds them back. All four women deliver strong, intense and hot-blooded performances, which more than compensates for the lack of character development and motivation. I would have like to see director Gray delve more into what made them decide to rob the banks. We are not given a strong idea as to what made the women tick, other than a need for money (though Jada Pinkett's character, Spooney, has some justification, seeing her innocent brother murdered by the LAPD). Visually, Gray offers nothing new, but does everything with a sense of urgency and gusto. Ultimately, SET IT OFF deserves praise for putting a new twist on a rather tired genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars This movie is positivly THE movie of the '90s!,
By A Customer
I thought that the movie would be another 'Waiting to Exhale' and a friend of mine said to me "This movie is great, you have to watch it!" I thought that I would give it a try. Watching it one night the movie made such an impact on me that I was crying from almost the begining credits. I think that the charactors are ones that people can identify with and feel sorry for... I especially thought that Jada Pinkett Smith played her role with brillience and Queen LaTefa played her role stunningly. I was quite moved by Cleo, she had real class. All in all a great movie... a must for all people with hearts!!
