WEST ADDISON — A legion of dignitaries and hundreds of residents from both sides of Lake Champlain marked the much-anticipated opening of the new Champlain Bridge on Monday afternoon.
Gov. Peter Shumlin and state Rep. Diane Lanpher, D-Vergennes, were among the Vermont delegates who helped cut the ribbon on the $76 million bridge that was two years in the making. The former Champlain Bridge, build in 1929, was abruptly closed on Oct. 16, 2009, after it was deemed to be unsafe for travel.
WEST ADDISON — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office has confirmed that the new Champlain Bridge connecting West Addison to Crown Point, N.Y., will be officially opened on Monday, Nov. 7, following a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 2:30 p.m., on the Crown Point side.
Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin and New York Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy are scheduled to be among those attending the festivities.
VERMONT — In the wake of a September incident in which Vermont State Police detained illegal immigrants identified in a traffic stop, the role of state law enforcement in federal immigration enforcement has come under scrutiny.
The incident at hand was a traffic stop on I-89 that led to the detention of two migrant farmworkers and an investigation of Trooper Jared Hatch, the officer involved.

VERMONT — At a joint meeting of the Vermont Senate and House Transportation Committees on Transportation in Montpelier last Wednesday, one thing was clear: The state's coffers stand to take a major hit following Tropical Storm Irene.
MONTPELIER, Vt. — Careening down a Vermont mountain on the back of an all-terrain vehicle driven by a 16-year-old boy, without having taken the time to find a helmet, John Curran was looking to reach the town of Rochester, isolated by flooding left by the remnants of Hurricane Irene. Mainly he was looking for a story.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — To Ripton resident Bill McKibben, the best measure of success in the two-week Tar Sands Action protest in front of the White House was the 1,253 arrests of protesters.
People concerned about global climate change flocked to the Washington, D.C., from across the nation for a two-week protest that drew to an end Sept. 3, with 243 arrests happening on that final day, according to tarsandsaction.org.
VERMONT — As heavy rains and high winds from Tropical Storm Irene roared through Vermont on Aug. 28, local emergency teams, news outlets and state disaster management officials sought to keep up with incident after incident happening across the state.
But as roads washed out, power went down and travel throughout the state became increasingly difficult, Internet technology and social media stepped into the spotlight.
RUTLAND — A female member of the Otter Valley Union High School cross-country team was attacked before a Marble Valley League race that was scheduled for this past Tuesday at Rutland's Giorgetti Park.
According to a Rutland Heraldaccount, police said the girl, who they did not identify, was treated at the Rutland Regional Medical Center after she ran from the woods bleeding from her head.
OVUHS Principal Jim Avery said the student — he also declined to identify her — was back in school on Wednesday.
VERMONT — Even before the rain ended late Sunday night, Gov. Peter Shumlin declared the flooding likely the worst since November of 1927, when torrential rains caused flooding, destruction and deaths across the state.
MONTPELIER — The Vermont Apportionment Board (VAB) last week voted 4-2 on a final recommendation for redrawing boundaries for the Vermont House of Representatives that leaves most Addison County districts the way they are now.
Lawmakers will discuss VAB proposals for the House and Vermont Senate during the 2012 legislative session before voting on a final reapportionment plan.

Recycled Newspaper Favors

Create recycled newspaper favors to give away at your next party. Learn how to craft with old newspapers and have a blast doing it.
- Newspaper
- Scissors or Paper Trimmer
- Glue
- Fabric
- I started by laying out pages of newspaper onto a flat surface. I stacked about 3 or 4 pages together. I cut the pages into quadrants so I could get a size that would fit into my 12 x 12 paper trimmer. I put the four layers of paper into my paper trimmer and cut 8" squares. I put a little glue between the pages to hold in place while I sewed the edges of the newspaper together and then randomly sewed squiggled lines up and down the squares.
- Now comes the folding part... Fold the stitched paper in half so it looks like this.
- Now fold one corner in, like this... use some paper glue to hold the flap in place.
- Repeat for the opposite corner.
- Fold one of the top flaps down and secure with paper glue.
- Flip the pouch over and repeat. You now have a small opening like this.
- I am loving all the rolled fabric flowers I see popping up in projects so I decided that is how I would embellish my bags. Here is how to create a rolled fabric flower.
- Cut a 1" x 12" strip of fabric. You also rip the fabric to create frayed edges which adds to the rustic look of these.
- Starting at one end, twist the fabric strip towards you and continue until the entire strip is twisted. You may want to use a little fabric glue on one end to keep the twst in place. Once the strip is twisted, roll the strip in a sprial like this.
- Your flower should end up like this... place a little fabric glue on the end of the strip to secure. You might also want to glue the rolled flower here and there to secure.
- I chose two Sizzix die cuts and National Nonwovens wool felt to create pretty leaves for my flower.
- I also decided to add some round metal rimmed tags, stamped with sentiments and a little birdy to further embellish my fun bag.
- Attach the tags and wire handles by punching a small hole into the sides of the bag front and back, and use round nose pliers to bend and secure ends.
How to use these? Here is a list of ideas:
- Fill them with wrapped candies and hang in a co-workers space for an instant pick me up
- Insert a gift card for a very creatively presented surprise
- Fill with seed packets and give to a garden loving friend
- Hang on a neighbors door filled with wrapped cookies for a sweet "just because" gift
- Fill with paper clips, note pads, pencils, etc for a quick and easy teacher appreciation gift

Scientist: Carp may have been planted near lake
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. A 3-foot-long Asian carp discovered in a Chicago waterway near Lake Michigan appears to have spent most of its life there and may have been planted by humans who didn't know what type of fish it was or the environmental risk it posed, researchers said Thursday.
Tests of chemical markers in the bighead carp suggest it was not a recent arrival to the waterway and probably did not get there by evading an electric barrier meant to prevent the species from infesting the Great Lakes, said Jim Garvey, a fisheries biologist at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
He acknowledged the findings were not certain because of incomplete data and were based on a number of assumptions.
"But it is very plausible that this fish originated in the Illinois River and then moved or was transported to Lake Calumet or Lake Michigan during the early portion of its life," Garvey said.
The 20-pound bighead was netted June 22 in Lake Calumet on Chicago's South Side, about six miles from Lake Michigan. It was the first actual Asian carp seen above the barrier, although scientists have reported numerous findings of their DNA in waterways between the barrier and Lake Michigan.
The discovery intensified calls by environmentalists and neighboring states to close shipping locks on the waterways and separate the man-made connection between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River basins. Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota and Pennsylvania have filed a federal lawsuit seeking those actions.
Shippers and other Chicago-area industry groups say such measures are unnecessary and would damage the region's economy.
Tests on the bighead carp found in June were conducted at the university's Fisheries and Illinois Aquaculture Center. Researchers examined its tiny inner ear bones, known as otoliths.
Otoliths contain fingerprints of calcium and other chemicals that are unique to the waterways in which they live, Garvey said. Layers of the chemicals build up in othliths similarly to tree rings, enabling scientists to identify a fish's age as well as the water bodies in which it has lived.
The analysis suggests the bighead spent most of its life in Lake Calumet or even Lake Michigan, which have similar water chemistry, Garvey said. But chemicals in the part of the otolith that developed in roughly its first year came from another waterway - one with chemistry similar to the Mississippi and Illinois rivers, he said.
The exact water body from which the fish originated hasn't been pinpointed, he said.
John Rogner, spokesman for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, said the report reinforces the possibility that humans placed the carp in Lake Calumet. Releasing live fish is a cultural ritual for some people, he said. Or it might have been dumped from an angler's bait bucket.
"We're not suggesting that anyone did this maliciously," Rogner said. "At that early age, it's very easy to misidentify Asian carp with other commonly used bait fish."
The agency will be testing for Asian carp DNA at about 60 Chicago-area bait shops in September and teaching owners how to spot young bighead and silver carp - the two species threatening to reach the Great Lakes, he said.

Feds seek option for dredge sand along NC beaches
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Beach communities and environmentalists are pushing back against a proposal to give the National Park Service the option of using dredging material to fight erosion on North Carolina's pristine Shackleford Banks, where wild horses roam and no humans live.
The proposal, part what's called a 20-year Dredge Material Management Plan, has created an odd coalition of towns that want the material from Beaufort Inlet to go to their beaches, not the Shackleford Banks, and environmentalists, including the well-known Orrin Pilkey, who want to protect Shackleford Banks from more human interference.
The park service manages Shackleford Banks, the southern-most barrier island in Cape Lookout National Seashore, as a wilderness area, although it doesn't have the designation from Congress.
The erosion at Shackleford Banks is both a part of the natural expansion and contraction of inlets and a natural reaction to sea level rise, said Pilkey, a geology professor emeritus at Duke University. And in the past, the park service has stuck to its guns about letting nature take its course, he said.
"I oppose it because I'm so strongly in favor of the park service's 'let nature rip' policy," he said. "And what I fear, and what others like myself fear, is that the park service is starting to waffle a little bit on this. I understand why. They're always under pressure to do something (about erosion)."
It's natural for inlets to expand and contract over time, he said, and Beaufort Inlet is expanding right now. "Shackleford Banks is doing what nature intended it to do," he said.
More than 100 horses roam Shackleford Banks, but humans haven't lived there since the turn of the 20th century, plenty of time for evidence of their presence to disappear. Visitors can walk its nine miles of deserted beach seeing maritime forests but no roads or homes. It's that sort of pristine environment that people such as Pilkey fear will be lost if the Corps is allowed to pipe in sand.
The sand that some view as an unwanted interloper on Shackleford is a valuable commodity for places such as Atlantic Beach, where the mayor says it protects about $2 billion in oceanfront investment from storms.
But the plan only gives the park service the option of using the dredge material at Shackleford Banks; it doesn't require it to do so, said Pat Kenney, superintendent of the Cape Lookout National Seashore. "If we say no to sand now, in the next 20 years, we would not be considered for sand," Kenney said. "One of the critical things the park service is trying to do is protect the option to accept sand."
That's a new stance for the park service, which the plan says requested the Corps to include dumping of dredged material on Shackleford Banks in 2010 after refusing the sand in the past because it wasn't considered consistent with NPS management policies.
The National Park Service has never used dredge sand on a wilderness area or one that's proposed for a wilderness designation, such as Shackleford, an NPS spokesman said. It has no proposals to use dredge sand in any such areas other than Shackleford, the spokesman said.

Hamas, Fatah close to agreement on joint political platform
Rival Palestinian factions are close to reach an agreement that might avoid a referendum showdown between President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement and governing Hamas. A deal between the sides could lead Abbas to abandon plans for a July 26 referendum on a statehood proposal that implicitly recognizes Israel.
"If we agree, that's better for us and for the Palestinian people, and there won't be any need for the referendum," Abbas said during a visit to Cairo, according to Reuters. Ghazi Hamad, the spokesman for the Hamas-led cabinet confirmed Sunday morning that the factions were close to reaching agreement on a political platform that they could all accept. He noted that Hamas "would never agree to fight its brothers in Hamas".
It would be based on the proposal, first drawn up by prisoners in an Israeli jail, that Abbas plans to put to a referendum. On his part, parliament speaker Aziz Dweik, who is from Hamas, said "The national dialogue is developing into an agreement and within two days there will be a signing on the prisoners' document which will become the national consensus."
Agreement on the document might pave the way for the formation of a national unity government.

Jermaine O'Neal said that Boston wasn't a good fit for him. He's looking forward to finding a situation where he can have a better role.— Alex Kennedy (@AlexKennedyNBA) July 17, 2012
After taking $12 million over 2 seasons from the Celtics and playing in a grand total of 49 games, Jermaine O'Neal had the nerve to say that the Celtics weren't a good fit for him and he's looking forward to finding a situation with a better role for him. WHAT???!!!
Jermaine O'Neal was set to be the Celtics starting center. He was playing with one of the best point guards in the league who was ready to find him anytime he got to the basket. He was considered by Doc Rivers to be the MVP of training camp last season. All he had to do was stay healthy and play 20 minutes or so a game. But I guess that was too much for him to handle. Now, he's bad mouthing the Celtics while he's trying to sign on with the rival Lakers. I say good riddance.
I'm not sure what his idea of a better role would be. Maybe a team that will pay him $6 million a year to play 10 games. Or maybe he wants to get paid and not play at all. Could be the Celtics expected too much from him. What a loser. Feel free to sound off with your feelings on JO in the comments.

Red Bull isn't a sponsor, they own two teams.
In one respect, they are the way forward. Unlike car manufacturer teams, Red Bull's core business doesn't suffer when their cars fail to perform. Even when its mentioned that a Red Bull or Torro Rosso has expired beside the circuit, their product gets a mention and it doesn't harm the product.
At first glance, F1 seems like the perfect place for car manufacturers but as Honda, BMW, Renault, Jaguar (to mention the most recent) have found, success on the track is elusive and extremely costly to both reputation and profits.
We will never see a return to the days of the "garagistas" - John Cooper, Bruce McLaren, Colin Chapman, John Surtees, Ken Tyrell, Jack Brabham, Peter Sauber and Frank Williams wouldn't be able to create new teams today.
The future lies with unconnected companies like Red Bull that are prepared to do more than sponsor a team, global brands that want their products splashed over TV screens world-wide and their brand name mentioned each time that the team or a car is. Naming a team "Vodaphone McLaren Mercedes" doesn't work, people just call it McLaren.
Mercedes F1 were/are under pressure from their board. Rightly or wrongly the lack of results (until very recently) has been seen as damaging the brand. If the team were owned by a brand unconnected with the car industry it wouldn't matter as much that they are under-performing.
The problem for F1 is that the brands that might have most wanted to do what Red Bull have so successfully done are prohibited from doing so - tobacco and booze brands.
Thinking of brands that might buy teams can be fun. Team Tampax F1 anyone?

Sudan Overview
Sudan is situated in northern Africa, with a coastline bordering the Red Sea. It sits at the crossroads of sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, with fertile lands, abundant livestock, and manufacturing. However, the country has been beset by conflict for most of its independent history and, under the terms of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement, the southern states seceded to form the Republic of South Sudan in July 2011. The current conflict in South Sudan continues to strain and put pressure on Sudan, with more than 120,000 South Sudanese refugees having entered Sudan since December 2013 as well as a drastic reduction in cross-border oil flows. In addition, longstanding disputes in Darfur, South Kordofan and areas bordering South Sudan (such as Abyei) remain.
Drivers of Fragility and Conflict
The near absence of inclusive public institutions that can adequately mediate demands for power and wealth sharing between the center and the periphery has been an underlying source of fragility and conflict in Sudan. The unequal allocation of public resources and access to natural resources are main drivers of conflict, feeding into a potent mix of ideology, ethnicity and socio-economic marginalization that threatens to pull the country further apart.
Economic Developments
The secession of South Sudan induced multiple economic shocks. The most important and immediate was the loss of the oil revenue which accounted for over half of government revenues and 95% of exports. This has left huge macro-economic and fiscal challenges, much reduced economic growth, and double-digit consumer price inflation which, together with increased fuel prices, triggered violent protests in September 2013.
Sudan did not use the oil windfalls to invest in human development, diversify its economy, or promote private sector growth. Political instability, corruption and economic uncertainty compromise the enabling environment for business development, growth, and employment (2010 Investment Climate Assessment). Other constraints include inadequate infrastructure services (e.g., transport and electricity), access to finance and taxation policies.
Agriculture and livestock are essential to Sudan's economic diversification (away from oil) and could contribute to medium-term macroeconomic stability. While these sectors presently contributes approximately 35 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), they could contribute significantly more with greater investment and better governance. Sudan now recognizes the need for greater attention to agriculture and livestock, as reflected in its Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (I-PRSP) and the Five-year Program for Economic Reforms approved by its parliament in December 2014.
However, Sudan remains a highly indebted country that has accumulated sizeable external arrears and has been in non-accrual status with the World Bank Group (WBG) since 1994. At the end of 2013, Sudan's external debt stock stood at $45.1 billion in nominal terms, about 85% of which was in arrears. While the country is eligible for debt relief under the Highly-Indebted Poor Countries Initiative, it must come to an amicable understanding with its main creditors in partnership with South Sudan.
Poverty and Social Developments
Sudan has wide and deep swaths of poverty and stark inequality between regions. Poverty estimates set the average rate of poverty incidence at 46.5% (2009 National Baseline Household Survey), indicating that some 15 million people are poor. But within this the disparities are striking; poverty incidence numbers mask significant regional disparities. Poverty in urban areas (especially Khartoum) is significantly lower than rural areas, which account for 60% of the country's population and 80% of its poor. Poverty incidence in North Darfur is approximately three times that of Khartoum and more than twice that of River Nile State. Also of note are the disparities between settled and nomadic populations who constitute 9% of Sudan's population and 14% of its poor.
Gender-based disparities are also substantial with Sudan scoring very low in global measures of gender gaps and female empowerment. Severe gender gaps exist across a range of sectors, with rural areas faring worse than urban. In education, for example, nearly two-thirds of Sudanese women have less than primary education, compared to just over half of their male counterparts.
Human development indicators remain low and Sudan ranks at 166 out of 187 countries in the 2014 UNDP Human Development Index. Prospects for Sudan meeting the MDGs by 2015 are also bleak as is its progress compared to the achievements of some of its neighbors (most with lower per-capita incomes) as well as the Sub-Saharan average. For example, access to basic health services remains low, covering 40 to 50% of the population, and regional disparities are particularly acute as health facilities are unevenly distributed. The child mortality rate (deaths per 1,000 births) is highest in Darfur (170), and lowest in Gezira state (63), while the national average is 111. Other services mirror this disparity. For example, access to safe drinking water remains low (44% in urban areas, 41% in rural areas), with many Sudanese relying on rivers, lakes, ponds, and wells due to the absence of piped drinking water.
Net primary school attendance rate is only 67% with huge disparities across states and gender. The 2012 Education Status Report notes the compounding negative impact of poverty, rural-urban disparities, and gender; poor girls living in rural areas are among the least likely to access educational opportunities. Indicators for nomadic and displaced populations are also poor.
The main determinants of poverty in Sudan include:
- sustained and multiple conflicts, which undermine opportunities for economic and social development, which in turn feeds longstanding grievances driving fresh conflict
- a dependence on oil which has resulted in the neglect of agriculture and livestock sectors as well as alternative sources of energy
- the unequal distribution of fiscal resources and access to natural resources, especially between the center and the periphery, and
- governance failures as reflected in poor policy credibility and implementation as well as inadequate incentives for private sector investment and participation.

The overarching goal of the World Bank Group (WBG) is to support extreme poverty reduction and enhance shared prosperity in Sudan. The WBG strategy responds to Sudan's poverty profile, barriers to poverty reduction, and is aligned with the government's own strategy as expressed in the I-PRSP as well as the increasingly dynamic dialogue around the development of its full PRSP. Recognizing that widespread conflict and the social and economic crises has deepened poverty in Sudan, addressing the key underlying stresses that have contributed to widespread conflict and the current social and economic crisis will shape the WBG strategic engagement under the FY14-15 Interim Strategy Note (ISN).
Improved governance and efforts to strengthen the management and allocation of public and natural resources are essential for political stability, social cohesion and better quality economic growth. At the same time, the country must find ways to move beyond the economic shock generated by the secession of the South, and put the economy on a sustainable path of inclusive growth.
In this context, the WBG strategy has been structured around two pillars: managing the economic transition; and addressing the socio-economic roots of conflict, with a cross-cutting focus on governance and gender which contribute directly to the objectives of reducing extreme poverty and increasing shared prosperity in Sudan.
The World Bank Group's evolving portfolio of over $120 million is a result of its efforts to mobilize third-party financial resources for development in Sudan (largely through Bank-managed Multi-Donor Trust Funds). Focusing on the poor and vulnerable, it lays the groundwork for a future strategy that will effectively target poverty reduction and enhanced prosperity in a sustainable manner once Sudan clears its arrears, reduces its debt burden to sustainable levels, and gains access to International Development Association (IDA) funding and other concessional development financing. While the short time frame of the ISN would not allow monitoring poverty outcomes over its life span, the WBG together with the African Development Bank (AfDB), will support the production of a new round of poverty data in 2014 and 2015 as well as related analytical products to inform the development of the full PRSP.
The selectivity of WBG interventions will be driven by the following three principles:
- alignment with the pillars of this strategy
- clearly identified areas where political will and implementation capacity exist to build on past successes and respond to new opportunities that may emerge, and
- availability of resources through partnership mechanisms
Given the economic and governance transition, knowledge will be key to helping Sudan identify a path towards inclusive and shared growth. Therefore, WBG engagement will have a strong emphasis on knowledge across the program, with particular attention to dissemination activities with government and non-government stakeholders in (and, as appropriate, outside of) Sudan. Given the current lack of access to IDA funding, the WBG program will continue to be resourced through trust funds, partnerships and Bank Budget.

The World Bank Group's (WBG) engagement with Sudan, mainly through the $590 million Multi-Donor Trust Fund-North (MDTF-N) from 2005-2013, goes well beyond stabilizing a war-torn nation and providing emergency assistance. During the eight years of its existence, the Fund supported 15 projects that helped reconstruct or build basic infrastructure, provide services and revitalize national institutions. The World Bank continues to leverage a $120 million portfolio through trust funds and partnerships with a primary focus on knowledge and technical support for extreme poverty reduction, stability and better economic governance.
Human Development
- Education: The MDTF-N has been instrumental in boosting school enrolment for nearly 0.5 million pupils (49% girls) following the construction or rehabilitation of over 514 schools, three teacher training institutes, and the training of more than 11,000 teachers. In addition, the MDTF-funded Education Status Report (ESR) informed the Government's Education Sector Strategy (2012-2016) and, in so doing, helped leverage --- in close collaboration with other development partners (e.g., UNICEF and DFID) --- the government's access to resources from the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) fund. As a result, Sudan was awarded a $76.5 million grant for a project approved in April 2013. This project covers ten states, including three in Darfur.
- Health: In four states targeted by MDTF-N activities, health facility data shows that between 2009 and the end of 2012: annual per-person outpatient consultations increased from 0.16 to 0.30; the share of pregnant women attending at least one antenatal care consultancy increased from 48 to 69%; and the proportion of total births attended by skilled health staff (including trained village midwives) increased from 19 to 51%. Access to, and use of, health facilities have improved noticeably following the construction or rehabilitation of 127 health facilities, the training of 2,703 health professionals, and the provision of medical supplies. The MDTF-funded a Health Status Report informed the government's Health Sector Strategy (2012-2016).
- Improving Gum Arabic production and marketing: Sudan is the world's largest exporter of raw Gum Arabic, a food stabilizer used in soft drinks. It is a key sector for employment generation and poverty alleviation in Sudan's rural areas contributing about 15 to 25% of household incomes. The Revitalizing the Gum Arabic Production and Marketing Project has supported some 130 Gum Arabic Producers' Associations (almost ten percent of the total number of GAPAs) and provided seed funds for production and marketing activities. Policy changes undertaken through the project led to the removal of market barriers in the sector, including abolishing 13 of 18 taxes, and removing the monopoly concessions entrusted to the Gum Arabic Council on trading and export of raw gum. These measures have led to noticeable efficiency improvements in marketing and higher prices for producers.
- Livestock: This is an ongoing project supporting a series of pilot activities that address the priorities of pastoral communities in livestock production and marketing. As an example, six livestock markets and 28 watering points have been constructed/rehabilitated which has contributed to an increase of animal heads sold annually. In addition, 286 kilometers of livestock routes have been rehabilitated and demarcated enabling pastoralists to safely move their livestock to and from markets. In addition to contributing to higher household incomes, these activities have also helped reduce conflicts between pastoralists and settled farmers, thereby facilitating the concrete realization of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement's (CPA's) promised peace dividend. In addition, more than 160,000 citizens across five target states were provided access to veterinary services, better water points, and other essential services.
- Microfinance: The MDTF's Microfinance Development Facility Project has contributed to the creation of the microfinance industry in Sudan. The project assisted the Central Bank in drafting Sudan's microfinance policy, regulatory framework, and supervision guidelines. Moreover, the project supported the creation of an apex institution that provides lines of credit and technical assistance to microfinance institutions in eight states. As a result, more than 214,000 Sudanese have access to finance, 40% of whom are women. This contributes to diversifying sources of growth, as well as generating private incomes and new employment opportunities.
Improving governance and institutional capacity
- Public sector capacity building. MDTF-NS activities also focused on increasing transparency and public sector accountability and addressing capacity gaps in key economic governance functions. Key outputs have been: 3,905 government officers trained on fiduciary, planning and related management issues; 327 senior government officers trained on intergovernmental fiscal relations, procurement, public finance, project management, monitoring and evaluation; and 156 administrative buildings were rehabilitated. A new public procurement regime is now in place, with Standard Bidding Documents (SBDs) for goods, works and consultants as well as Public Procurement manuals now online. International standards are being adopted with 35 procurement officers at the state and federal levels receiving training to use the new SBDs. The MDTF supported the development of audit manuals requested by the Auditor General to strengthen and enhance the quality of audit systems. The MDTF also piloted a risk-based internal audit initiative with the Ministry of Finance and National Economy and provided sustained support and capacity building over several years.
- Community-Driven Development: Under the CDF, local communities in four targeted states have strengthened their systems for, as well as expanded, the delivery of basic services. This included 567 schools, 99 primary health care facilities, 163 water points, 26 community centers, as well as the construction/rehabilitation of 97 solar power installations benefitting more than 2 million people. In addition, some 616 Community Development Committees were formed with their members trained on issues ranging from fund management to project planning and bookkeeping. These interventions have not only significantly increased access to basic services but also increased community participation and ownership, key elements to building and sustaining peace. Moving forward, there will be greater scope to further strengthen bottom-up accountability and ensure project sustainability.

Despite the December 2013 closure of the $590 million Multi Donor Trust Fund – North (MDTF-N)—active since 2005 and the main vehicle for implementing investment, financing up to 15 investment operations –the Bank's footprint of investment and knowledge activities remains large. On the investment front there are seven new projects (six of which effective in 2013) for a net commitment amount of over $120 million financed through three main trust fund windows, including Global Partnership for Education (GPE), Global Environment (GEF) Facility and the State and Peacebuilding Fund Strategic Initiative (SPF –SI).
In addition, to replace the MDTF-N, the Bank's Board of Executive Directors approved a new Sudan Multi-Partner Fund (SMPF) on April 10, 2014 which is now operational with initial donor commitments of over $11 million along with approximately $15 million in parallel government financing.

I've always had a racing heart rate, and I have no idea why. Even at my peak of fitness it was high. I'm now 40 and I strapped my wife's HRM on. We were both just standing here. Hers was around 73, and when she sat down it dropped to 63. For me, standing was 120-125, and sitting was like 100-110. The lowest I could get it, trying to sit back and relax was like 85. I think it's like 75 in my sleep.
The thing is, I've been riding consistently for over 20 years, while my wife has never done anything aerobic, other than the past year of cycling. Is it genetics? Bad luck? Does it even make a difference?

Tamora Pierce begins a new Tortall trilogy introducing Beka Cooper, an amazing young woman who lived 200 years before Pierce's popular Alanna character. For the first time, Pierce employs first-person narration in a novel, bringing readers even closer to a character that they will love for her unusual talents and tough personality.
Beka Cooper is a rookie with the law-enforcing Provost's Guard, and she's been assigned to the Lower City. It's a tough beat that's about to get tougher, as Beka's limited ability to communicate with the dead clues her in to an underworld conspiracy.

University of Memphis women's soccer team plays two at home this weekend
No. 21 Tiger women face tough pair at home
University of Memphis women's soccer coach Brooks Monaghan doesn't believe in soft openings to a season. At least not this season.
After opening on the road at No. 10 Missouri, the U of M returns home with games Friday night at the Mike Rose Soccer Complex against Arkansas State and Sunday night against No. 3 Oklahoma State.
It's a challenging start for a program that played its opener without Conference USA Preseason Offensive Player of the Year Christabel Oduro, who was playing for Canada in the FIFA U20 World Cup in Japan. Tiger teammate Kylie Davis, another key member of Monaghan's squad, also played in the international competition for Canada while Natalia Gomez-Junco was in Japan representing Mexico.
Oduro and Davis arrived in Memphis late Wednesday and will be available against Arkansas State.
"Getting both back, it's an added bonus," Monaghan said. "The team is making progress every day, but we have a lot of youth. So to be able to add two of our better players that have the experience they have is massive. That's what this team is lacking: experience."
Without Oduro, Davis and Gomez-Junco, the U of M lost its opener, 5-1, at Missouri. With only five upperclassmen, the Tigers, ranked 21st nationally, are the second-youngest team in women's Division 1 soccer.
"Having (Oduro and Davis) back is just what this team needs," Monaghan said.
Oduro, a junior, finished last season with 16 goals and seven assists and scored four in a first-round NCAA touranment win over UT-Martin.
Friday's game against Arkansas State (2-1) begins at 7 p.m. as does Sunday's game against Oklahoma State (4-0). OSU, 22-2-2 last year, won its fourth straight Big 12 title and reached the NCAA's Elite Eight.
"Over the years we've had some great teams come in here, that's what happens when your program reaches a high level," Monaghan said. "It's a great opportunity. If we are able to get the results we want this weekend we could be back in the top 20, no questions asked."

Version 3.5 of Workshare's self-titled application includes new tools for securing potentially sensitive metadata embedded in documents, new e-mail tools and the ability to integrate with leading content management systems.
Workshare is a server application that integrates with Microsoft's Office productivity applications and e-mail client to track changes to documents as they're sent back and forth via e-mail. Instead of the author having to juggle edits submitted through multiple messages, Workshare keeps track of all proposed changes and allows the document author to reject or accept them with a few mouse clicks.
The product is meant as an alternative to more elaborate collaboration systems, which typically require users to store documents on a central server and use browser-based tools for navigation.
Installation of such systems requires extensive back-end work and requires significant training for workers to learn to use new tools, said Amy Millard, vice president of marketing at Workshare.
"People are comfortable working in Word and Outlook, and that's the process we're trying to improve," she said.
The new version of Workshare includes tools for integrating with content management systems sold by Interwoven and Hummingbird, plus e-mail tools for easily grabbing all messages related to a particular document.
New security features include the ability to automatically strip metadata Word uses to track changes to documents. Such metadata can be used to track a document's history and has been responsible for high-profile leaks of company secrets, including a recent gaffe by a leading Linux antagonist, the SCO Group.
Word can be configured to remove such metadata, but the server approach ensures reliability and consistency, Millard said.
The newly released Version 3.5 of Workshare has a basic price of $300 per user.

About Me: I'm from Western PA, went to school at WVU and then lived in So Cal before coming to MD for grad school. I'm a mish-mash of all those places and the people I have met along the way. Good ole' girl meets Cali beach girl meets serious scientist. I would describe myself as a generally happy, very active and dynamic person. My interests are hiking at Patapsco with my dog, running, triathlons, shooting and painting my nails. I'm not that witty, but I get a few zingers in once in a while! My friends would describe me as independent and fun, but they are biased :) Some of my favorite things to do are to catch an O's game, wine/beer taste, get together with friends on a random Thursday for a potluck dinner and browse around B&N until I find a good book. I do like to cook but my guilty pleasure is stopping by Wegman's and hitting up the hot food bar and grabbing a RedBox. Who I'm Looking For: You should be active and healthy, fun and have something to talk about over dinner other than the Kardashians.

Any suggestions?
Frozen breast milk?!?
Any suggestions?
Mommy of Aniyiah Jade Marlene on May 21st 2012
The 'cream will rise to the top' just like in cows milk. If you are heating it to body temperature, you can swirl it to mix it (but as pp said, don't shake it)
It's normal for the "cream" and watery part of breastmilk to separate. You can just gently swirl the milk around in the bottle to remix it (but not shake it). Did you smell the milk? If it has gone bad, it will smell or taste sour.
Ok so I've been shaking my refrigerated BM to make sure they chunky part gets mixed up again when I put it in the bottle. Why aren't I supposed to shake it? I always give LO his bottles cold...
Evan Thomas 7/6/10
Miles William 5/19/12
I forget the exact reason that shaking is bad, but it has something to do with breaking up one of the really good things in breastmilk - maybe antibodies or something? So yes, just swirl it. Totally normal for the fat to separate once it's been refrigerated.

Cantina PASTASCIUTTA: The Best Italian Food in Brazil
It's one of the best Italian food that I tasted in my life.
The dishes are huge and the taste is wonderful.
The restaurant is located in the heart of the city, in front of bus station.
I recomend to do a reservation, because the place is not so big.
My sugestion is the Macarrone 4 formaggio with beef escalope.
The price is honest.
Favorite Dish: Macarrone 4 formaggio with beef escalope.
It's served inside a pot.
Is enough for two people.

Mozzerino and De Pietro's: Two great places to eat
There are two great places to eat in Gramado (these are my preferred ones among almost a hundred in the area Gramado/Canela). For the evening, specially, I would recommend Mozzerino, considered one of the best NorthItalian food restaurants in Brazil. The place is absolutely cozy, the owner: "Mosquito" , a super cook that has been teaching and learning the magic of cooking for many years, is a special personality. The price is honest! MOzzerino is closed during the day. For the lunch time my preferred place is De Pietro's. A "por quilo" restaurant that has charm and tremendous quality. The grill, at De Pietros's, is out of this world and the owners: Jo and Xavier, will make of you an immediate friend. If you rather have dinner at De Pietro's (it is closed on Tuesdays) you will be amazed by more than 10 different kinds of soups and a superb salad bar. You can also go to the grill, pick your piece of meat, and pay a little extra. The evening meals are not "per quilo", but have two different prices: soup & salad or soup & salad & grilled meat. Remember, at dinner you can serve yourself as many times as you wish and the price is the same.

.......: Churrasco and Polenta
it has been special to me, not anymore..I became a Vegetarien, but still love Polenta
Favorite Dish: but in those days I loved to have Churrasco and Polenta
I don't think I have to explain it and look at the Tablesetting..never encounted a setting where the plates are all turned over before the meal starts, not even in other states of Brasil, or have I just forgotten?

If you have any riding experience, the DL 650 is probably a better bike.
Where it falls behind: Worse turning circle. No engine protection.
Turning circle only experience can deal with - not a big deal for me, but I could see it getting a new rider into trouble, engine protection is fixable - or ignorable - if you are only doing light off road rides. Everywhere else the DL is pretty much a clear winner, far better on road, far easier to ride off road - provided you aren't racing - and as far as I can tell it's more reliable as well.
I'm not saying the BMW is a bad bike, just that the DL is just far better value for money and will do everything the F will.
In theory the Dakar looks to be a far better off road bike - I'm unconvinced - provided you aren't doing extreme things (Paris/Dakar
the DL is a really easy bike to ride offroad and is much less effort than the BMW. I found that not being as tired muscling the bike round more than made up for any weaknesses the DL might have.
Said a mouthful there. I ride an uncorked tagged BRP, and lately been swapping out and riding my son's DRZ more [the more I ride and tweak the more impressed I am]. BUT.... when I really contemplate long rides into strange territory, combining "getting there" on slab and then exploring off the beaten path on non-paved, etc, I'll take the DL650 in a heartbeat.
It is seriously a "low fatigue" kind of ride.
And, as Pete's post implies, if you are not trying to do stunts or set land speed records, patiently picking your way through some very gnarly stuff is quite doable with the WeeStrom. Maybe I'm lucky, but with a 16T countersprocket and a very pliable FI/throttle, I can ease through steep rocky paths, up erosion ditches, across rock outcroppings, through gravel [ugggh], etc with a good bit of finesse. [mine has well-used bashplate and crashbars, knobby tires, etc]
i know nothing about F650...but the weestrom is more capable than I am.

Panthers' top pick Newton ready for scrutiny
Winning happened only twice for Carolina last season amid terrible quarterback play. Jimmy Clausen went 1-9 as a rookie starter after he replaced the injured and ineffective Matt Moore.
"Obviously we struggled last year," said Moore, set to be a free agent. "If a guy like that who is an explosive player can help this team, it's a good pick."
There was another element of intrigue in the impending QB competition.
After Newton stood with Rivera holding a No. 1 Panthers jersey and cameras flashed, Newton was asked if he hoped to wear No. 2, what he wore at Auburn.
"I will try," Newton said.
That number right now belongs to Clausen.
And while Clausen welcomed him via a text message Thursday night, he's not surrendering his job. Clausen was among the first players to arrive at team headquarters at dawn Friday when the NFL opened its doors following a court order to end the lockout.
"He wished me luck. Just for a person to do that says a lot about his character and what type of person he really is," Newton said. "We had an interesting conversation about Charlotte. He said he was here and I was hoping I'd get a chance to meet him. I'm looking forward to not only meeting Jimmy, but a lot of other teammates."
After talking of how he hoped to pattern his work ethic after star QBs Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees, Newton was whisked away for meetings with coaches. It was the first step in a process in which the Panthers and Newton hope to prove critics wrong.
"I'm saying it right now: I'm trying to be the best," Newton said. "I strive to be great."
