Ruud Lubbers on Afghan Refugees
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
RAY SUAREZ: Since the U.S. and its allies drove the Taliban from power in Afghanistan, more than half a million Afghan refugees have returned to their devastated nation.
MAN (Translated): Yes, we are returning of our own free will. We have difficulties here. Whatever it may be, Afghanistan is our country, and it is getting better.
RAY SUAREZ: The influx has been larger and faster than many had expected. Two decades of war and Soviet occupation, a three-year drought, and five years of Taliban rule drove an estimated five to six million Afghans from their homeland.
That exodus accelerated briefly last fall, when some 200,000 Afghans tried to escape U.S. and coalition air strikes against the Taliban and al-Qaida. Most of the refugees have fled to neighboring nations: Pakistan, Iran, and Tajikistan. Currently, Afghans make up one of the world's largest refugee populations: An estimated 3.6 million.
The recent Afghan returnees are coming home to a country with only with a fragile interim government, a devastated infrastructure, and few jobs. Vast areas of Afghanistan are ruled by warlords and factional fighting continues. The rapid return of refugees has made an already severe food shortage worse. Relief officials estimate that nine million Afghans need some 275,000 tons of food aid until the July harvest.
In March, the United Nations' refugee agency launched its program to help returning Afghan refugees by providing money, food, and medical supplies. Last month, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, Ruud Lubbers, met with Hamid Karzai and tribal warlords to negotiate the refugees safe return.
RAY SUAREZ: Joining me now is the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Ruud Lubbers. He is a former Dutch prime minister.
Mr. Lubbers, welcome back to the program.
RUUD LUBBERS: Thank you.
RAY SUAREZ: Give us an idea of how many people your agency is trying to resettle in Afghanistan right now.
RUUD LUBBERS: For this year, we plan to bring home one and a quarter million people. This is 400,000 people from both Pakistan and Iran, and many internally displaced persons, let's say another 400,000, and then 50,000 from Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. And right now, at this very moment that we're talking with each other, we have passed already the 500,000 limit of refugees, and another 150,000 internally displaced persons, those who stayed in the country during the time of violence and the air strikes and all that. So we are about 50 percent of our target, and I am pretty confident that we'll reach the one and a quarter million in the course of this year.
Critical point, however, is the funding of that whole operation. We are spending $23, $24 million a month now. This is transport, this is food for a couple of months, and we give seeds to the farmers, and we provide them with shelter. This is repairing their own houses with building materials, or construct simple new houses. And finally, we have to drill for water because in many of the villages there is not enough water. And when there are substantial quantities of people coming home, we have to provide water as well.
RAY SUAREZ: When you say there's problems with the funding, are people coming back to the country faster than you had planned, or are donors not living up to the commitments they had made?
RUUD LUBBERS: It goes somewhat faster than we had thought, that speaks for itself. We are speaking May, and we are talking about fall for a target, so indeed, it goes somewhat faster. It's certainly no cheaper than we thought because what you actually need in the villages depends of course of the situation there, and certainly at least the same amount.
But the main thing is that the donors are a bit let's say sluggish up until now, we received nevertheless about 60 percent from what we needed. So we are still a little bit ahead with money, the time for what we are spending. But you will understand if you have only for six weeks in cash, it's a somewhat scary business to facilitate people to go home. So I am really going around in counties, calling on governments to be more forthcoming after the nice pledges, which were made in Tokyo.
RAY SUAREZ: There have been many stories in the press here in the United States about how difficult it's been to deliver aid in various parts of Afghanistan: Aid trucks have been hijacked, food has been diverted, given to warlords, fighters in the field; ending up being sold instead of given to needy families. Are you more able to get the aid where it's needed when you need to get it there?
RUUD LUBBERS: I think we are more able, although we are not perfect.
In the first place, what we have practiced and are practicing in Afghanistan, is to be very cautious in handling money. We know money always ends up in the wrong pockets. So there you get corruption and so on.
Secondly, the assistance we give is very related to the individuals we have resisted. I mean, it's their food. Now, you might think that a warlord goes to that individual person. The risk is there, where you go for the masses, when we have the building materials. Up until now it functions well. Again, the same story, no money, but materials to assist people. You hear rarely incidents at this very moment. So knock on wood, there are stories from the past but at this moment I would say there's reason for confidence.
RAY SUAREZ: When people come to you from Iran, from Pakistan, what kind of shape are they in? Are they people coming back with possessions, or are they really just with the clothes on their back and perhaps a few suitcases or bags?
RUUD LUBBERS: In general, they have a little bit more. They are, of course, not the rich persons. But many of them are for quite a long time already, especially those who come from Pakistan these days, we see that they have luggage with them. They are certainly not rich people, but they have more than their clothes alone, and that's also credible because they live there for years in Pakistan. Some had part-time jobs even, and now they are going home.
Sometimes they are really miserable. Those who respect in camps like Jalousi in the past, of course are very poor, and sometimes have even medical problems. So before they enter the country, we do a medical checkup of them, that's point one. Then we give them some instructions how to live with a country with many mines, land mines. We give them also information about possibilities to become once again a farmer.
So this is not only a transport question, but it's registering the people, seeing where they go, informing them, and assisting them where needed.
RAY SUAREZ: Are these people that you're going to have to keep track of, take care of, for many years to come?
RUUD LUBBERS: Not many years, but we are charged by the U.N. and the interim administration. Hamid Karzai urges us not only to bring the people home, but to assist them in becoming once again productive citizens in that society. That means that we stay some time with them, but to give you an impression that we are talking maybe a year or something like that, then… and that villages of course not everybody returns at the same moment.
This might become a program of, let's say, two years, maybe even more, but I guess two years with the speeds, which we are doing it now. We do not expect all Afghan to go back to Afghanistan. We simply don't know, however, how many will go. There's one and a quarter million, which I mentioned to you, for this year. It is certainly going to reach maybe somewhat more. One and a quarter million would be about one-third, I think, of what we expect to go home. If you look to the total numbers, it's even more. It's almost unbelievable how many Afghans had to flee their country in the past.
RAY SUAREZ: Should we take this as a sign of their confidence in the future of their country? Or in some cases are they being pushed back over the border by governments that have found them a burden; that they would like them to go home?
RUUD LUBBERS: I think now at this very moment we have to see that, in the first place, it has confidence in the wrong country, Afghanistan, and we need the will to go home. Many of them are fully aware that it will be difficult in the beginning. And even where you come in this village back, and it is tough in the beginning, you have to reconstruct your own house, or repair your heavily-damaged house. You have to give a hand in repairing of the irrigation system, or build a small road from your farm to your feeder road there — or to assist even in drilling water.
But if after a couple of weeks you wake up one morning and you see it's going to function and you are there backing your country, it's a fantastic experience, of course, after so many years in a strange country of which many of them in refugee camps with not much perspective in life. And especially the kids, the children when they go there and they can live in freedom, imagine young Afghan girls have a future once again — on schools, and can do things in life. So this is really a new Afghanistan.
I think at this moment it's really a vote of confidence. Even more, while we know that the time of harassment is not long over, and the violence, and there are some even incidents today. So this is a mass of vote of confidence in the wrong country, it's a vote of confidence in Chairman Karzai. And I might add to that, it's trusting each year not to let them down then; to assist them in the beginning. And we really hope that the international community will make it possible for us to do that job there. This is important for the people. It's also important for the political stability of Afghanistan.
Finally, we need an Afghanistan who is not a center of violence and a source of terrorism, but an Afghanistan which finds its own way in peace and as a democratic country.
RAY SUAREZ: Thank you very much for joining us.
RUUD LUBBERS: Thank you, sir.

Gear Review
Great pack
I gave up backpacking for a few years because I could not find a pack that did not hurt my back. Then I found the Ozone, with its fit system and no back pain! I have used the Ozone three times for a week each time and it has to be the best pack, it carried the load very comfortably (23 to 38lb) my friend carried the Ozone for 30 minuets and purchased one and is very happy also. Back problems or not this is a great pack; I would recommend this pack to anyone. Thanks Granite Gear.

Hoffman does divas in directing debut 'Quartet'
Just like his aging opera stars, Hoffman has found his acting choices diminishing as he ages. A stage star in his 20s, Hoffman hit it big in Hollywood at age 30 with "The Graduate" and had a solid run of leading roles well into his 50s.
Inevitably, he has fallen back mostly on secondary roles in his 60s and 70s.
"I think supporting roles by definition are two-dimensional. You can't put the third dimension on it, you don't have the screen time to go home and see what their life is like," Hoffman said. "They're supporting the three-dimensional characters, and yes, I guess you do miss that, because you got used to trying to peel that onion in terms of those lead characters that you played."
The exception to losing out on lead roles as actors age "would be people that carry the gun. The people that hold the gun have a longer lifespan," Hoffman said. "John Wayne hung in there, Sean Connery hung in there. If you're an action star, the gun is a phallic symbol. It's the last thing to age."

Mitral valve regurgitation (MR) develops when the mitral
valve (also called the atrioventricular valve) fails to close properly and
blood leaks back into the upper pumping chamber (left atrium). Although mild
cases of MR result in few problems, more severe and chronic cases eventually
weaken the heart and can result in
heart failure.
Medical therapy can delay
or minimize MR, but in some cases surgery is needed to replace the mitral
valve. Few people with
mitral valve prolapse (MVP) develop MR, and the
majority of MR cases that result from MVP are considered mild.
Symptoms of mitral valve regurgitation include:
Rare complications of mitral valve regurgitation caused by
MVP include:
Some related problems may include:
MR may also occur with mitral valve stenosis, a condition
that develops when the mitral valve fails to open as wide as it should.
There is also a slightly increased chance of sudden death in people with
MVP, although why this happens is not clear. It rarely occurs and is likely to
be caused by arrhythmias.

Originally written on Fox Sports South | Last updated 11/27/12
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- No. 5 Florida didn't wait to give coach Will Muschamp a contract extension. The Gators (11-1) gave him one before the season. President Bernie Machen and athletic director Jeremy Foley met in August and agreed to extend Muschamp's contract for a year, through 2017. The Gainesville Sun first reported the extension Tuesday. Foley says in a statement that he and Machen "believed in the leadership and direction of the football program this summer and we made a decision to extend coach Muschamp's contract an additional year this past August, prior to the start of the season." Financial terms remain the same, giving Muschamp another year at 2.7 million annually. In January, after the Gators finished 7-6 in Muschamp's first season, Florida picked up a one-year option in the contract.

A federal grand jury has indicted 10 men on allegations they were making and selling counterfeit movies and music in the Central Valley, including in Turlock.
The two suspects responsible for a shooting in Turlock following a Craigslist initiated transaction of shoes have been identified and are facing a litany of criminal charges.
An attempt to sell a pair of tennis shoes on Craigslist ended with a shooting after the would-be buyers gave the sellers counterfeit cash, the Turlock Police Department reported.
The Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department is planning a crackdown on impaired drivers with a countywide saturation patrol.

What better time than Advent to ponder what poverty means? After all, Christ became poor for our sakes, emptying himself of his divinity as he emptied himself into our humanity.
So what does poverty mean? Here are some dictionary definitions:
Poverty (Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary):
1a: the state of one who lacks a usual or socially acceptable amount of money or material possessions; b: renunciation as a member of a religious order of the right as an individual to own property; 2: scarcity, dearth 3a: debility due to malnutrition; b: lack of fertility (of the soil).

What you need to know:
Myth No. 1: Michigan State
was a pure running team last year. Javon Ringer ran for
1,637 yards, but the ground game was ninth in the Big
Ten and 77th in the nation. Myth No. 2: Michigan State
couldn't throw. Well, it didn't throw efficiently and
there were only 11 touchdown passes, but the passing
game cranked out decent yards. Overall, there might not
be much in the way of star power and there are some big
holes to fill, but it'll be a better overall attack.
This year, despite the loss of Ringer and two all-star
offensive linemen (Roland Martin and Jesse Miller), the
ground game should be better with a combination of backs
ready to take over and a more mobile quarterback,
whoever that might be. Kirk Cousins is ready to step in
and take over the job, but Oklahoma transfer Keith
Nichol has the running skills and the talent to make it
a two-quarterback system. The receiving corps has the
potential to be jaw-dropping good with all the key parts
returning led by Mark Dell, Blair White, and B.J.
Passing: Kirk Cousins32-43, 310 yds, 2 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: Andre Anderson26 carries, 97 yds, 0 TD
Receiving: Blair White43
catches, 659 yds, 1 TD
of the offense: Sophomore QBs Kirk Cousins and
Keith NicholPlayer who has to step up and
become a star: Junior OT J'Michael Deane
Unsung star on the rise: Sophomore OG
Joel ForemanBest Pro Prospect:
Junior WR Mark DellTop three all-star
candidates: 1) C Joel Nitchman, 2) Dell, 3)
Cousins or NicholStrength of the offense: Wide receiver, Backfield potential
Weakness of the offense: Backfield experience,
Right side of the line
Projected Starter:
Now that Brian Hoyer has left, there's an interesting
battle going on for the starting spot. First on deck is
Kirk Cousins, a talented 6-3, 202-pound sophomore with a nice arm
and enough scrambling ability to be more than just
mobile in the pocket. A smart player who could become a
great game manager (meant in a good way) with the
ability to read defenses and take what's there to get
the chains moving. He saw a little bit of time last year
and made the most of it completing 32-of-43 passes (74%)
for 310 yards and two touchdowns with an interception
with 161 yards coming in the blowout loss to Ohio State.
Projected Top Reserve: 6-2, 212-pound
sophomore Keith
Nichol broke Michigan State's heart by choosing
Oklahoma at the last possible second. And then some guy
named Sam Bradford became a player and things quickly
changed. Nichol is a strong dual-threat playmaker who
can run better than Kirk Cousins and has a good enough
arm to be a solid pocket passer with a little bit of
development. If he doesn't win the job he'll still be in
a rotation just to get his feet wet.
Watch Out For ... the battle for the
starting job to continue throughout the season. The No.
1 will be the No. 1 in theory, but both Cousins and
Nichol are good enough to see action and they're both
going to be looking over their shoulders at all times.
Strength: Talent. Cousins will be more
than good enough to take over for Brian Hoyer and bring
more production to the offense, while Nichol might have
been the most talented quarterback on the roster last
season. There might be two starting quarterback options,
but that's not a bad thing.
Weakness: Experience. It's not like Nichol has
actually done anything over the last few years, while
Cousins has been relegated to mop-up time. There might
be a few growing pains to get through.
Outlook: Very quickly, Michigan State's
inexperienced quarterback situation to become a major
positive. As good as Brian Hoyer was at times, he'll be
easily replaced by Nichol and Cousins, two
great prospects ready to grow into the offense over the
next three years. Mark Dantonio has openly suggested a
two-quarterback system if both players perform well and
can show different positives in different situations.
Rating: 7.5
Running Backs
Projected Starters:
It'll be up to a slew of players to try to replace Javon
Ringer, but the first back in the rotation will likely
be Andre Anderson, a 5-9, 190-pound sophomore who finished second on
the team with 97 yards. The star of the 2007 recruiting
class after running for 2,131 yards and 33 touchdowns as
a high school senior, he has flash, a little bit of
power for his size, and a nose for the goal line.
However, he's not built to be a workhorse. It's his job
to break off the big plays.
The fullback has become more of a part of the MSU
offense and there's a good veteran to use in
Andrew Hawken.
The 6-2, 238-pound senior is a great blocker who blew
open holes for Javon Ringer. He's a decent receiver
catching 11 passes for 81 yards with a touchdown, but
he's not going to get any carries. Part tight end and
part fullback, he could be used as an H-Back at times,
but he's mostly a blocker.
Projected Top Reserves: 5-10, 205-pound
senior A.J.
Jimmerson was supposed to be a vital No. 2 back in
the rotation last year after showing a little bit of
promise as a sophomore, but he only carried the ball
eight times for 14 yards. With a good mix of speed and
power, he has a good blend of skills. However, he's
mostly been a special teamer so far and he hasn't had
too many opportunities to show what he can do.
Bringing more power to the rotation is 5-11, 235-pound
sophomore Ashton
Leggett, a bruising back who has the potential to be
a key all-around playmaker if he can curb his fumbling
issues. He hasn't had a chance to do too much in games
with just six carries for seven yards last season. With
big-time upside, he'll be given every shot to win the
starting job and was the star throughout the spring
making a strong claim for the
No. 1 job.
5-9, 195-pound redshirt freshman
Caulton Ray
is a promising back who could be the sleeper in the race
for the starting job. A huge recruit for the program two
years ago, he's a tough runner who, despite his size,
can be used for long stretches.
On the way is star recruit
Edwin Baker,
one of the nation's top running backs according to every
major recruiting service. While he has a little bit of
an issue with a knee injury, he could turn into the main
man from day one. At 5-10 and 205 pounds he's compactly
built and is the type of back who could be another
Ringer-like producer in time.
While not the hot recruit that Edwin Baker is, 5-11,
215-pound freshman
Larry Caper
was a good get for the program. A true workhorse, he
carried the ball 46 times in a game in high school and
also showed good pop to crank out yards in chunks.
Watch Out For ... the freshmen. The other
backs are all excited to get their chance to shine, but
Baker and Caper might be the most talented runners on
the roster. There's no need to rush them into the
equation with so many good options, but the coaching
staff might move up the timetable if there isn't
consistent production.
Strength: Speed. The Spartans are great at
getting fast backs who can crank out big plays, or at
least have the potential to. Jimmerson and Anderson can
fly and should be doing far more than they did last
Weakness: Experience. Ringer simply never came
out. The other backs were patient, but it was Ringer,
Ringer, and more Ringer, and now there's a free-for-all
for playing time since no one's quite sure what any of
the top backs would do with a steady workload.
Outlook: The running game was Javon
Ringer, Javon Ringer, and even more Javon Ringer. Out of
the team's 511 carries, 1,692
yards and 24 rushing touchdowns,
Ringer had 390 carries for 1,637
yards and 22 scores. Was Ringer
that good, were the other
options too mediocre, or both?
This year, it'll be a bit of a
running back-by-committee
approach with speedsters Jimmerson and Anderson combining with Leggett and, maybe, Baker to get the
ground game moving. There might not be a Ringer, but
don't be stunned if the team has a more effective
running attack.
Rating: 7.5
Projected Starters:
6-2, 205-pound senior
Blair White
wasn't expected to lead the team in
receiving, but he did with 42 catches for 659 yards and
a touchdown highlighted by a two-game stretch against
Michigan and Wisconsin when he caught 11 passes for 307
yards and a score. The former walk-on will start out at
the outside X position, but he'll have to be great to
hold off the more talented Mark Dell. He might not be a
big NFL prospect, but he'll be the team's most reliable
Able to play at the inside Z position or at the outside
X is
Cunningham, a 6-2, 210-pound sophomore with great
athleticism and good toughness. He was second on the
team with 51 catches for 528 yards, but he didn't get
into the end zone. Steady, he caught four passes or more
in six games, but he was never a go-to target. He might
not be flashy, but he'll grow into a more dependable
Gantt had a tough task replacing Kellen Lewis at
tight end, and he was surprisingly good. Known as a
blocker, he wasn't supposed to do much as a receiver
before catching 19 passes for 302 yards and a
team-leading four scores. While he catch a pass or two
per game, the 6-4, 245-pounder will mostly be used for
the ground game.
Projected Top Reserves:
Dell ripped off 202 yards and a touchdown on nine
catches in the season-opening loss to Cal, and then was
mediocre the rest of the way. One of the team's
superstar recruits of a few years ago has been a steady
pass catcher with a few grabs a game throughout his
first two seasons, but he needs to be the next Spartan
star receiver for the offense to shine. He finished with
36 catches for a team-leading 679 yards and three
scores, he has to do more. With 6-2, 188-pound size,
next-level speed and athleticism, and the potential to
be another Devin Thomas.
One of the top recruits of last year was
Keshawn Martin,
a 6-0, 186-pound sophomore who came up with some nice
plays in the middle of the season catching 11 passes for
143 yards. The do-it-all player was also used a bit as a
runner with 51 yards on nine carries and even completed
2-of-3 passes for 59 yards. He could become a bigger
part of the return game soon, but most of his time will
be spent at the Z position.
Looking for more playing time will be
Fred Smith,
the crown jewel of the 2008 recruiting class. The 6-2,
225-pound sophomore saw a little bit of action in nine
games last year making just one catch for seven yards
against Northwestern. Very big, very fast, and very
productive, he has all the next-level tools to be the
next Spartan NFL wide receiver now that he has bulked
Behind Gantt at tight end is 6-5, 243-pound sophomore
Garrett Celek, a good receiver who caught six passes
for 50 yards and a score. He's the route-runner that
Gantt isn't, but he's not the same sort of a blocker.
Even so, he'll get a few starts and will see plenty of
time in two tight end sets.
Watch Out For ... Fred Smith. There's too
much talent and too much upside for him not to be a
bigger part of the offense. He's too big and too
athletic to be an afterthought.
Central casting. If you're
looking for a roster of NFL-looking receivers, MSU has
it with averaging around 6-2 and 200 pounds with
excellent speed. This has the potential to be a special
corps over the next few years.
A step-it-up superstar. So who's it
going to be? Who's going to be the one to break free
from the pack and be
the guy who is the one to keep defensive coordinators up at night?
Mark Dell should be it, but he'll have to prove he can
be the main man on a weekly basis.
There's a slew
of ultra-talented prospects with fantastic high school
résumés. Now it all has to come together with the size,
speed, and experience all combining to form a killer
corps. Five of the top six pass catches from last year
are back (with RB Javon Ringer being the one missing)
and there's more than enough talent to produce a
devastating passing game. The ball will be spread around
with so many good players to work with, but someone has
to step up and become a go-to, No. 1 star for the
offense to work around.

RFH Blows Past West Deptford With Strong Second Half
By Brian Deakyne
RUMSON — If anyone were going to do it, that person would be Jack Curran.
With the undefeated Bulldogs trailing, 4-1, to open the third quarter of the NJSIAA Group I state playoffs second round, Curran scored the goal that opened the floodgates for Rumson-Fair Haven.
Including Curran's goal, the fourth-seeded Bulldogs outscored West Deptford, 10-1, in the second half, pulling away with an impressive 11-5 win at Borden Stadium over the 14th-seeded Eagles, who beat Red Bank Regional last Thursday in the first round.
"I think the guys on this team look for me to do that, and look for the captains to step up. We have a lot of seniors on this team that can do it, and today, it just so happened to be me," the Villanova-bound Curran said. "They responded and we had a good second half and came out firing."
Curran took the ball from behind the net, curled around front and beat Eagles goalie Brendan Gill short-side and high, ending a streak of more than 24 minutes without a goal.
It didn't take long for the rest of the Bulldogs to follow suit.
Christopher Hubler, taking the ground ball off a faceoff and taking the ball on a fast break, scored 21 seconds after Curran, beating Gill low to draw the Bulldogs within a goal at 4-3.
Michael Clarke added a goal 19 seconds after Hubler's, finding a loose ball in the crease and throwing it into the back of the net while being knocked to the ground. Michael Villane had brought the ball into the box, but he was checked near the slot and the loose ball found its way into Clarke's stick.
From that point on, Rumson was in control and never looked back, adding two more goals in the third quarter and five in the fourth to pull away with the win.
"The first thing I said to them was, 'Tomorrow is going to happen. So don't worry about it, tomorrow is coming. It's inevitable,'" Rumson-Fair Haven head coach Reid Jackson said of his halftime speech. "We were going to win or we were going to lose. We needed to relax, play our game. That was a very good team and very well-coached team, they came prepared.
"I didn't feel like, matchup-to-matchup, that anybody could really beat us. We just needed to stick together. We didn't change much, we just needed to settle it down."
Chris Sutphen scored the go-ahead goal in the third quarter, man-up for RFH, taking the ball from behind the cage and beating Gill high, much like Curran did, after missing some time in the first half.
Clarke added his second goal of the quarter in the final minute of the third, taking a feed from Curran across the crease and slamming the left-handed shot into the net, putting the Bulldogs up, 6-4.
Rumson-Fair Haven kept the attack on in the fourth quarter, getting two more goals from Curran, including one eight seconds into the quarter and another one after winning a ground ball near midfield and running in alone on a fast break, finishing the play with a goal, going high on Gill.
Colin Shea added a fourth quarter goal for RFH, along with Ryan McCausland on the man-up, and Villane, who torched a goal to the corner of the net with just over two minutes left in the game.
"I think this shows a lot of character. We're capable of coming back, we're capable of not getting down on ourselves and getting to the next play," Curran said.
Sutphen put the Bulldogs on the board first, working from behind the net and bouncing a shot past Gill with 8:04 to go in the first quarter, but Rumson wouldn't score again for 24:07 when Curran got things started in the third quarter.
"I think the guys are anxious. Honestly, I saw it in warm-ups, I think we took them too lightly, even though we tried to avoid that. I keep telling them, you have to respect every team from here-on-out, it's only going to get exponentially harder," Jackson said.
"It definitely is [tough], [Gill] is very good, a lot of props to him," Curran said. "I don't think we necessarily played the smartest first half and we got off to a slow start, but we held our heads high and got after it in the second half, made smarter shots, made smarter passes and really got the offense going."
Again, the attack line of Clarke-Curran-Sutphen accounted for the majority of the Bulldogs' goals, banking 7 of the 11 goals on Tuesday.
"I thought they did a great job. They rode hard, they played tough up on the midfield line, and we started to compose it a little bit more, compared to jamming it in there," Jackson said. "I was very, very pleased."
Last week, the Bulldogs topped Jackson Memorial in the finals, 9-8, for their second straight Shore Conference Tournament title. RFH trailed heading into the fourth quarter, but they rallied to beat the Jaguars in the championship game for the second straight season.
"We trailed to Jackson so we proved that we can come back," Curran said.

Perhaps no team in the country needed a week off more than No. 12 South Carolina. Coach Steve Spurrier says after the time away his Gamecocks are refreshed and ready to finish the season in style. That starts Saturday at home in South Carolina's first game since star tailback Marcus Lattimore's gruesome knee injury. The Gamecocks (7-2, 5-2 Southeastern Conference) finish league play against up-and-down Arkansas (4-5, 2-3). Spurrier says Lattimore had successful surgery Friday and is recuperating. The Gamecocks tailback is expected to attend the game and be honored for establishing school records with 41 career touchdowns and 38 rushing scores. Senior Kenny Miles will start for Lattimore and Spurrier says his players know an at-large BCS berth is possible if they continue winning.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] - In the first experiment involving a natural environment, scientists at Brown University have shown that richer plant diversity significantly enhances an ecosystem's productivity. The finding underscores the benefits of biodiversity, such as capturing carbon dioxide, a main contributor to global warming.
Osvaldo Sala, director of the Environmental Change Initiative and the Sloan Lindeman Professor of Biology at Brown, and Pedro Flombaum, a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Brown, said the results confirmed tests charting how biodiversity affects aboveground plant productivity in artificial ecosystems. Aboveground plant productivity (ANPP) is the amount of biomass, or organic material, produced by plant growth.
But the Brown team also learned that the correlation between plant species richness - the number of plant species in a unit of area - and ANPP in a natural ecosystem was greater than had been expected. What that means, the researchers wrote in a paper published online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is that the greater the number of plant species, the more productive the ecosystem.
Conversely, species loss has a decidedly negative impact on ecosystems. This is especially true in light of the role ecosystems play in capturing the global warming gas carbon dioxide: The fewer the plant species in a given natural environment, the less carbon dioxide they capture.
"It's a double whammy," Sala explained. "We not only are disturbing our planet by putting more carbon into the atmosphere, but we're reducing the ability of ecosystems to capture and store it."
Sala and Flombaum conducted their experiments in the Patagonian steppe, a semiarid grassland located on the east side of the Andes Mountains in Argentina. They marked 90 plots, each containing three species of native grasses and three

1.-Staff: Dominicans are the friendlies people in the World.
2.-Location: There is no entertainment in this hotel, periot. But it is located in a very popular city beach, with a lot of island type small shacks that serve sea food and drinks *ONLY SAFE DAYTIME*. For the best nightlife take a taxi to Ave Venezuela for dancing and drinking, and El Malecon for gambling and dinning. US$ 70 to 80 round 30 minutes trip to Santo Domingo City.
1.-Not an all inclusive: This is a room with bad meals. Unless you stay for 5 nights or more, there is no dine À la carte for you.
2.-Sanitary concerns: Too many flies landing on anything not hot enough to burn their legs. Extremily disgusting.
3.-Room: The shower head was broken. There was no minifrige. There was noice from roof repairs during the day.
4.-Pets: Flies all over the food, and quitte some mosquitoes at night. Take this seriously since there is an outbrake of Chikungunya and Dengue iber in the island.f
Like it
All inclusive really good food and drinks.
Service was subpar at times.
Great staff. Location is right on the beach. Good food and it felt very safe.
No ice machines.
I liked the location of the Hotel to everything. I liked that the Hotel was secured and gated.
I did not like that this Hotel is CASH ONLY. I could not pay my bill with a credit card. I did not find this out until I arrived. This is a big inconvenientif you don't like having to go to a local bank to get cash to check out.
This hotel is clean and secure. The suite rooms are comfortable enough for the money. Helpful, English speaking management and staff. They have no problems with visitors that you want to bring to your room as long as they leave IDs at the front desk.
I liked the fact they was waiting for me when I got out the cab they took me to my room and showed me the in's and outs of how to work the utilities and safe I called for room service the guy didn't speak English so he came up to my room and I showed him on the menu what I wanted they help me get around my first few minutes their to go meet up with a Chica I knew prior to coming to DR. I would definitely stay at the Mango again the only bad thing is the rooms are small but whose in the room anyway while on vacation great price and overall experience of Boca Chica I will be back in September.
The owners and staff were very friendly and accommodating. They make their guests feel welcome. The restaurant, while basic, had excellent food. A big plus: they have a generator in case of power outages.
Considering the price (cheap!), the hotel exceeded my expectations. My only suggestion for the hotel management is that they accept credit cards for the convenience of their guests.
Nace place with clean room, great shower and friendly staff
TV was Old, antique. Poor security night. Little bit expensive for night. (Price did not incluide breakfast)
Walk to beach is uphill and no fun. We drove most days. Definitely not a place for kids as nothing to do for them at this hotel.
Great choice for those who wish to enjoy their time away from the noisy entertainment programs of a big hotel. Takes only 5 minutes to walk to the main beach/restaurant area.

Burst of Color Fabric Flowers
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Go crazy with color and make these Burst of Color Fabric Flowers from Tiffany Windsor. These flower crafts will brighten up any room in your home. Not only are they a low-cost, minimal-effort alternative to real flowers, you can put together color combinations that can't be found in nature. For instance, you're able to experiment with wild combos like neon and pastels. Once you're satisfied with their colors, you can make brooches and hair accessories with these eye-popping accents. This no-sew project is a piece of cake. After all, there's no watering required!
- Aleene's Fabric Fusion Peel & Stick Sheets
- Aleene's Fabric Fusion Permanent Dry Cleanable Fabric Adhesive
- Scissors
- Fabric flower petals (hand cut or die cut)
- Black seed beads
Die cut or hand cut flower petals from fabric. I like to use 6 – 9 petals for my flowers. Vary the sizes and shapes for fullness.
Cut Aleene's Fabric Fusion Peel & Stick Sheets to size to fit in between flower petal layers. Peel paper liner from adhesive and press onto petal.
Continue to add adhesive between each petal layer until you have built up 6 – 9 layers.
Next, press into a ball and roll between hands. This will ruffle the edges of the cut fabric.
Open flower and next start to roll the top petal layer into a ball in the center of the flower. Continue to add each layer to the ball by pulling the petals up and pressing into a ball in the center of the flower.
Repeat for all layers until the entire flower is rolled into a ball. Press firmly down on the top of flower to ruffle petals.
Carefully open the flower to reveal the center.
Squeeze Aleene's Fabric Fusion Permanent Glue into the center of the flower to create a puddle of glue.
Pour seed beads into glue.
Gently tap the seed beads into glue with finger.
Shake off excess beads into a container.
Let flower dry overnight. Can be used on washable wearables or other crafting projects after glue has cured according to bottle instructions.

Societal Impact
The COINS center has made signficant acheivements in science and technology which have potential in providing ground breaking societal benefits. Particularly, the areas of environmental monitoring and national security will gain from our advances in creating widely distributed, low-cost monitoring and sensing devices. The COINS sensing platform wil be portable, mobile, easily implementable, and provide real-time feedback, providing the following environmental monitoring benefits:
- Monitor where people live and spend time — especially in communities of concern, hazardous worksites, and source-impacted areas and understand the shapes of source plumes and pollutant isopleths.
- Monitor in real time to capture concentration peaks, and not just averages, and to allow more immediate access to the data, rather than requiring careful handling and transportation to a lab where it can be analyzed.
- Monitor at low detection levels for hazardous and toxic pollutants.
- Monitor for specific chemicals that are suspected of affecting health.
Understanding the Biological Toxicity of Nanowires
Chris Vulpe (UCB), Ben Gilbert (LBNL), and Peidong Yang (UCB)
The COINS nanotoxicology team that includes toxicologists from the UCB College of Natural Resources as well as natural scientists from Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory has made two interesting findings about silver nanowire (AgNW) toxicity and exposure to ecological-indicator organism Daphnia magna. First, the toxicity of the AgNWs is not entirely due to ionic silver in solution from degraded AgNWs. There exists a debate in ecotoxicology about whether nano particle toxicity is due to the particle or to the components of the particle. We have shown that the amount of silver in solution is not enough to cause the toxicity we see when daphnids are exposed to AgNWs. Furthermore, gene expression profiles generated from exposure to Ag+ or to AgNWs are unique, which indicates different modes of toxicity. The other interesting finding is that the AgNWs appear to get absorbed into the Daphnia hemolymph (blood-like fluid) through the gut, in contrast to work done by colleagues that shows similarly-shaped carbon nanotubes get stuck in the gut and do not cross the intestinal epithelial.
SEM images of AgNWs extracted from Daphnia hemolymph. The silica coating (left) has degraded, while the polyvinyl pyrrolidinone coating appears to have stringy attachments.
Risk Assessment of the Biological Toxicity of Nanowires
Chris Vulpe (UCB), Ben Gilbert (LBNL), and Peidong Yang (UCB)
COINS has incorporated a team that includes toxicologists from the UCB College of Natural Resources as well as natural scientists from Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. This group identified the importance of nanowires as a distinct class of nanomaterial that has numerous applications in COINS devices yet for which almost no nanotoxicity research has been performed. COINS nanowire applications include photovoltaics and resonators, and hence the results of this project will aid COINS in minimizing the EH&S impacts of the PANDA platform.
We have initiated an integrated assessment of the toxicity of one type of nanowire (silver nanowires), to review current research on nanowire applications and toxicity, and to establish the societal context of nanowire research.
This work was performed under the auspices of the National Science Foundation by University of California Berkeley under Grant No. 0425914.
Silver nanowires internalized in A549 cancer cell. Although the nanwires have penetrated the cell, it seems to continue to function normally.

I spent the weekend glued to coverage of the high drama unfolding at the climate talks in Durban, South Africa. I watched closely because there is so much on the line affecting our and our children's future. In the final turbulent days, there were critical moments when a binding treaty with relatively ambitious and fair emissions cuts seemed almost possible. And then, well — the U.S. and our cronies played power politics behind closed doors, just as they have before.
Endosulfan. Chlorpyrifos. Chlorothalonil. Not words one would associate with the crisp, cold air and water of the Arctic region. But new research shows that these pesticides, among others, are traveling to the Arctic from as far as South East Asia, India and the United States.
That harmful pesticides travel on wind and water currents to cold northern regions of the world has been known for a while now. But in this latest study, researchers managed to measure the compounds in air and water all the way along their path across the globe, from East Asia to the Arctic.
Not coming to movie theaters near you, but taking place right now in Durban, South Africa is "The Great Escape 3." This is how Pablo Solon, Bolivia's former lead climate negotiator, describes the scene at the UN climate talks.
"It's the same movie — it happened in Copenhagen, in Cancun, and it will happen in Durban. The richest nations are trying to escape their responsibility to reduce greenhouse gas emissions now... It's really a genocide and an ecocide."
Truth be told, there were tears in my eyes as I sat there, translating and tweeting amongst the bustling crowd of media and hundreds of people, most of them farmers. After an intensive public trial covering a range of human rights violations, on December 6, the jurors issued a scathing verdict to the six largest pesticide and biotechnology corporations, urging governments to take action to prevent further harm. The crowd erupted in a roar of applause, and later, congratulations were shared in at least seven languages.
On December 3, 1984, more than 8,000 people died in Bhopal, India when a pesticide manufacturing plant owned and operated by Union Carbide Corporation (now Dow Chemical) exploded in the middle of the night. It was one of the worst industrial disasters in history. In the 27 years since, at least 20,000 more have died as a result of this one event and the area surrounding the plant remains a toxic waste site.
People know about Bhopal like they know about Chernobyl. What many don't know is that the night after the explosion, the company's CEO hopped on a private jet and fled the country and Dow Chemical has yet to be held accountable.
Dec 3, 2011 – Today, we launched the landmark human rights tribunal against six pesticide corporations: Monsanto, Syngenta, Dow, Bayer, DuPont and BASF. These corporations control the global trade in pesticides worldwide, and regularly violate our rights to health, life and livelihood. The launch, timed to coincide with the 27th anniversary of the disaster in Bhopal, India, marked a vital moment in PAN's continued work to roll back corporate control of food and agriculture, and to protect our health — worldwide.
Get your kids to exercise, eat right, and control their portions — these steps can help combat childhood obesity, we're told. But new research on persistent chemicals points to the fact that as parents, we're not getting the whole story.
Researchers in Spain found that whether a child, especially a girl, will be obese is not just dependent on lifestyle choices, but also on the child's exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) before birth. As a mother of a 4-year-old daughter, this worries me tremendously.
With last month's death of the congressional Super Committee, so too died the 2011 Food and Farm Bill proposal that was folded into those fast-track talks. So what happens next?
A mixed bag of disappointments and glimmers of hope, the 2011 proposal now enters into the more normal process of policy development. Because of the tireless efforts of National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition members and many organizations around the country, this starting point for the 2012/13 Food and Farm Bill does contain some elements of our priorities — namely, support for conservation, local food, beginning farmers and organics.
Miscarriages. Cancers. The loss of a job or an entire way of life. It's never easy to talk publicly about personal pain. That's why the stories of Vi, David, Juana, Mildre and Jeff are so powerful. In their own words, they talk about the harms that pesticides cause. On video, to millions of people.
Their point: ensure that someday, pesticide corporations are no longer above the law when it comes to our health, our economy and our well-being. Watch these extraordinary, brave individuals tell their truths.
Bees are an economic engine. At least that's what I'd call something experts say is worth about $15 billion to our economy every year.
Last month at our annual convention, the California State Grange took a hard look at the issue of pollinators; their value, and the fact that today they are under threat. Last week, we followed up with a clear message for policymakers: Farm communities can't survive without bees. Let's protect our pollinators from pesticides. Today.

Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 1/28/13
Randy Moss finally got his fourth second chance, and he plans to make the most of it. Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reports that Moss plans to play at least another year after the 49ers and Ravens face each other in the Super Bowl this Sunday. The 49ers signed Moss this season after the veteran wide receiver spent more than a year out of the game. He had failed to draw interest from teams after being traded from the Patriots and then cut from the Vikings and Titans. Now, with his latest go-around with San Francisco yielding success, Moss isn't going to be one-and-done, Florio reports. Moss is due to become a free agent in March but wants to play at least one more season. Moss has 15,292 career yards and 156 touchdowns after 14 seasons in the NFL. Click here to read why this has been Moss's best season>>

Ralph, (Kwiatkowski) Kent, who designed the first adult Mickey Mouse watch in the 1960s and went on to be a design leader and instructor for Walt Disney Imagineering at Walt Disney World, died Monday at age 68.
Kent was named to the Walt Disney Co.s "Disney Legends" hall of fame in 2004, the year he retired.
He first joined Disney in 1963 (after changing his name to Kent from Kwiatkowski,) and in 1965 designed the first limited-edition Mickey Mouse watch for adults, which Walt Disney presented to 25 of his top executives, according to the Legends Webpage
He arrived at Walt Disney World in 1971 as a designer and by the end of the 1970s he oversaw the Walt Disney Imagineering east coast staff support for Epcot and Tokyo Disneyland. In 1990 he joined the Disney Design Group as a corporate trainer, mentoring new artists and creating an extensive reference collection of character model sheets.
Disney officials were not available this morning to discuss Kent's career or his passing. Independent Disney author Lou Mongello, host of the WDW radio show podcast, called Kent "an incredible individual" whose legacy is assured, not just from his own designs, but from the next generation of designers he trained.
"Artists like Brian Blackmore and Alex Maher who studied under Ralph continue to carry on his legacy," Mongello said. "Im sure he would be proud of the incredible work that they continue to do, and the joy they bring to so many of us."
