Supporting partners
The Brookings Institute
The Brookings Institution is a non-profit public policy organisation based in Washington, DC. Brookings' mission is to conduct high-quality, independent research and, based on that research, to provide innovative, practical recommendations. One of Brookings' core goals is to 'secure a more open, safe, prosperous and cooperative international system'.
Brookings is consistently ranked as the most influential, most quoted and most trusted think tank.
Girls Not Brides
Girls Not Brides is a global partnership of over 170 organisations working to end child marriage all over the world. The partnership aims to give a voice to girls at risk of child marriage, to defend their rights to health and education, and to give them the opportunities they need to fulfil their potential.
Girls Not Brides also aims to support children who are or have been victims of child marriage, to increase awareness of the scale and impact of child marriage, and to mobilise the support and resources needed to end child marriage.
Global Partnership for Education
The Global Partnership for Education is the only multilateral partnership devoted to getting all children in developing countries into school for a quality education.
Established in 2002, the Global Partnership for Education is comprised of 46 developing countries, and over 30 bilateral, regional, and international agencies, development banks, the private sector, teachers, and local and global civil society groups.
The Global Partnership for Education provides its developing country partners the incentives, resources, and technical support to build and implement sound education plans. Members of the Partnership mobilise and coordinate resources to support the achievement of these plans' targets to help more children enrol in school and for a better education.
Global Campaign for Education
The Global Campaign for Education (GCE) is a civil society movement that aims to end the global education crisis. GCE's mission is to make sure that governments act now to deliver the right of everyone to a free, quality, public education.
GCE's membership is comprised of a huge variety of national, regional and international civil society organisations, teachers' unions and child rights campaigners. GCE aims to hold governments to account for their promises repeatedly made to provide Education for All.
The United Nations Girls' Education Initiative (UNGEI) is a partnership of organisations committed to narrowing the gender gap in primary and secondary education. It also seeks to ensure that, by 2015, all children complete primary schooling, with girls and boys having equal access to free, quality education.
UNGEI was launched in April 2000 at the World Education Forum in Dakar, Senegal, by then United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan in response to a troubling reality: Of the millions of children worldwide who were not in school, more than half were girls – a reality that continues today.
UNGEI is determined and committed to accelerating action on girls' education and revitalising the broad social mobilisation and high-level political action that is needed to ensure that every girl, as well as every boy, goes to school.
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly to advocate for the protection of children's rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. UNICEF is guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child and is located in 190 countries through country programmes and national committees.
UNESCO works to create the conditions for dialogue among civilisations, cultures and peoples, based upon respect for commonly shared values. It is through this dialogue that the world can achieve global visions of sustainable development encompassing observance of human rights, mutual respect and the alleviation of poverty, all of which are at the heart of UNESCO'S mission and activities.
The broad goals and concrete objectives of the international community – as set out in the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – underpin all UNESCO's strategies and activities. Thus UNESCO's unique competencies in education, the sciences, culture and communication and information contribute towards the realisation of those goals.
In 2007, UNESCO designated gender equality as one of two global priorities for the 2008-2013 medium-term strategy.
UN Women
In July 2010, the United Nations General Assembly created UN Women, the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women.
The main roles of UN Women are:
To support inter-governmental bodies, such as the Commission on the Status of Women, in their formulation of policies, global standards and norms.
To help member states to implement these standards, standing ready to provide suitable technical and financial support to those countries that request it, and to forge effective partnerships with civil society.
To hold the UN system accountable for its own commitments on gender equality, including regular monitoring of system-wide progress.
Special Representative for Violence Against Children
The Special Representative of the Secretary General on Violence against Children (SRSG) is a global independent advocate in favour of the prevention and elimination of all forms of violence against children.
The SRSG acts as a bridge builder and a catalyst of actions in all regions, and across sectors and settings where violence against children may occur. It mobilises action and political support to maintain momentum around this agenda and generate renewed concern at the harmful effects of violence on children; to promote behavioural and social change, and to achieve effective progress.
The SRSG reports directly to the UN Secretary General, chairs the United Nations Inter Agency Working Group on Violence against Children and collaborates closely with a wide range of partners, within and beyond the UN system.
In 2007, UNESCO designated gender equality as one of two global priorities for the 2008-2013 medium-term strategy.

Recent Advances and Challenges in Adipose Tissue Engineering: Adipose Derived Stem Cell-based Approaches
Current Tissue Engineering,
3(1): 7-24.
Anisoara Cimpean
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Bucharest, 91-95 Spl. Independentei, 050095, Bucharest, Romania.
Adipose tissue is now well recognized as a ubiquitously available and reliable source of multipotent adult stem cells. In the context of increasing clinical demand for adequate implants to repair soft tissue defects resulting from postoperative, congenital or posttraumatic loss of the subcutaneous fat layer, adipose tissue engineering (ATE) represents an exciting therapeutic strategy in plastic and reconstructive surgery. The ATE approach includes two different strategies: in situ adipogenesis for small volume loss, and in vitro development of three-dimensional (3D) tissue-engineered constructs (TECs) for large adipose tissue defects. These strategies can involve the use of living cells and/or biocompatible scaffolds and/or biomolecules. The focus of this review is on the use of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) as the cellular component of TECs for regenerative purposes. These cells have emerged as a promising type of stem cells with clear advantages over previously used mesenchymal stem cells, such as those derived from bone marrow (BM-MSCs) because of the easy and repeatable access to subcutaneous tissue, the simple isolation procedures, increased proliferation in culture and the potential to differentiate into cells of mesodermal origin as well as cells of non-mesodermal lineage. The culture strategies, immunophenotype, proliferation and differentiation potentials of ASCs, together with current clinical data with respect to their use in soft tissue regeneration and augmentation will be summarized. The article will also review the key advances in the development of biomaterial scaffolds and biomolecules aiming to control the cell response, as well as the possible challenges in this scientific field.

Revised 7/13/15
Caltrans is proud to release STARS2, its new web-based permit application system. Read more about it here in the formal announcement (.pdf).
NEW! Visit the STARS2 resources page to learn more about the new system and get started.
The Caltrans Single-Trip Application and Routing System (STARS) is an electronic method for customers to obtain single trip oversize/overweight transportation permits. Permit users are eligible to receive the STARS software.
Through the Internet, STARS customers submit single-trip applications with pre-cleared routes to Caltrans for review and approval. The STARS program significantly improves turnaround time for customers and streamlines Caltrans application processing. Caltrans permit writers can accept or deny applications with a single mouse click, and immediately return the processed application.
The pre-routing feature has been a significant advantage to both the customer and the State's DOT operations by reducing the permit processing time.
Customers interested in participating in the STARS program should contact the main Permits office phone number: (916) 322-1297 to apply for a Caltrans debtor account, if one does not already exist, with the information listed on the following form: Debtor and STARS Account Information (.doc).
Once the debtor account has been established, Email the STARS IT Technical Support Team with your phone number and you will receive a return call within one business day to finish establishing your account.
Permit applications submitted through the STARS program are processed identically to the faxed in applications. Applications submitted through STARS are more accurate and reliable because the routing is entered by the customer. The routes are then verified using constraints that help minimize errors. Permit writers can also correct and/or modify the Permit application when needed.
STARS Permit fees are the same as the current single-trip permit, $16.00, and billed on a monthly basis through the Caltrans debtor account.
Access to the Route Clearing Database now requires installing updated Citrix software. The updated software can be found here. Detailed instructions for downloading and installing the software may be found here. The updated STARS system no longer requires installing Access '97 on your computer. You may want to consider using STARS instead of submitting applications by fax.
The Route Clearing database may be viewed without establishing a debtor account by clicking on the links below:
For more information, contact
STARS IT Technical Support Team.
For general information regarding STARS and/or questions on extralegal permits, contact the Transportation Permits Office.
For new STARS customer training, contact STARS Training Team.

Kicherer has unveiled a new styling and performance package for the Mercedes SLS AMG.
Dubbed the Black Edition, the car features a matte foil-wrapped exterior, a front spoiler lip, a revised rear diffuser, and 20-inch RS-1 wheels. Other goodies include an adjustable sports suspension (with a lift feature), matte black exterior accents (instead of chrome), and a Kicherer badge on the hood.
In terms of performance, the SLS is outfitted with revised ECU and a stainless steel sport exhaust system. Thanks to these modifications, the 6.3-liter (6208cc) V8 produces 620 hp (629 PS / 462 kW) instead of 563 hp (571 PS / 420 kW).

factory AMG model is very stunning without modification. if one wants to make it better, it need lot of hard work, isnt easy at all. they should at least take time to make it better-looking. i will take the AMG version anytime over this thing. I'll take mine in white and red. the curves and shape of SLS will make modification a challenge.
Jun 28th, 2010 5:23pm
Not a fan of the black and ugly rims. Car overall is amazing though. I just entered this competition and thought people her might want to enter too. If you go to the MSL AMG facebook page you can get the chance to win a 3 day AMG advanced training course at the famous Spa-Francorchamps racetrack. Beautiful cars on one of the world's best racecourses. Here's the link - http://www.facebook.com/mercedesbenzsls?ref=ts#!/mercedesbenzsls?v=wall&ref=ts Thought some of you out there might be intrested. :) Good luck all, post back if anyone is successful!
Jun 28th, 2010 4:10pm
The color killed the luxury factor in this car... Would rather have it in regular color...
Jun 26th, 2010 11:49am
They should've blackened the seats too,with red stitching, different rims,no chrome...the SLS is fine,could've been a lil bigger and the should've kept the SLR
Jun 25th, 2010 3:06pm
Hey, This could be the test mule for the 2012 Viper!
Jun 25th, 2010 3:33am
Don't like the paint, don't like the wheels. Waiting for Brabus version and renedered Lorinser version couple of months ago. It was a great drawing, with modified front and retro wheels, hope Lorinser will produce it. The standard SLS is on the market for quite some time, I wonder why Brabus hasn't show their version yet. Come on Brabus !!!
Jun 24th, 2010 7:54pm
Somebody needs to tell tuners that flat black is NOT cool on everything. Also, black wheels with chromed lips are overused, dare I say tacky. These "tuners" should follow what enthusiasts do on their own and try to follow their demands instead of shoving this old crap down their throats... This is definitely an example of what NOT to do...
Jun 24th, 2010 7:51pm
i don't know why most tuners try hard to make their cars look uglier than the originals.
Jun 24th, 2010 7:32pm
i second everything mentioned so far... wheels make the whole thing look much older
Jun 24th, 2010 7:30pm
Don't mind the car being in black, just they should have left the chrome parts visable. and the rims don't suit the car at all.
Jun 24th, 2010 7:25pm
so true
Jun 24th, 2010 9:54pm
+1. These rims are not good at all for SLS.
Jun 25th, 2010 1:37am
Not a fan. Black doesn't look good on the SLS.

Step 1: Visit your favorite Home Improvement Warehouse
Step 2: Gather Pieces
Ten - 2" 90 degree Street Elbow - spiral
One - 3" to 2" reducer - Bell
Its a short shopping list... and its all you'll really need to get started!
In these pictures, I'm assembling it in the aisle at Home Depot... Starting with the mouthpiece, I attach the first elbow... with each added section, you want a slight 'twist' or offset to make a proper spiral. Unless, of course, you don't want to make a spiral... But I'm making a spiral. So here we go.
Step 3: Final Assembly
A year or so ago, I made a video with the black Spiro-Didge, showcasing my fantastic skill... *note massive sarcasm in preceding statement*
Spiro-Didge video on MySpaceTV
ONTOPIC: Thank you so much for this tutorial and idea! I'm gonna go and make it now. I am thinking of ending it with a [insert very large diameter here] - 2" bell reducer to amplify the sound AND make it look totally badass.
Also, instead of using that weird bushing reducer for the mouthpiece, try using a bell reducer. Personally, I think bell reducers look much more attractive on PVC didgeridoos than bushings, but I dunno about you.
keep up the good work!
Have you seen http://wethome.x10.mx/wdidge/didges.html ? I'm going to try a couple of those after I find all the parts - there are enough odd little pieces that my Home Depot doesn't have that I couldn't pick up the parts for one of those tonight - but they did have the ten elbows!
I'm going to try adding a couple more turns, possibly with some 2" elbows - I'd like to get it down about another 5th or more. One other suggestion I've seen is to roughen up the interior some to darken the tone a bit with a coat of wood glue and sawdust (which I'm pretty sure you could scrounge from the Home Depot if you asked nicely).
Which did involve some hose. It's not that heavy.... or expensive.... but you were being sarcastic, yes?

Whirlpool Refridgerator - Water Dispenser is Leaking
Posted 27 February 2006 - 01:11 PM
(Yes, I checked & 3X Checked the model # under bright lights.)
The Water dispenser is dripping at a fast enough rate that my husband has shut off the water to the refridgerator. I have been able to find the parts and diagrams showing all the parts for the ice/water dispenser, however I have been unable to find anything that will guide me or my husband through making the repair. Is this information available? The last thing I want to do is attempt to remove the front of the Dispenser and break it in the process!
Thank You!

Place a large bowl under the valve (make sure the valve electrical connections will not fall inside and be immersed in water that enters the bowl) . Turn on the water spigot to the fridge. If water drips from the valve where you disconnected the line, replace the valve.
If you don't see a drip, press the water dispenser actuator for a few seconds and If water continues to drip from the valve after you stopped dispensing, then replace valve. You may want to empty the bowl and let the valve sit for a while before you notice any drips.
If no drips and the bowl is clear of water after at least an hour, then your problem may be due to a bad connector, cracked line etc. Normally under those circumstances you'd see a leak somewhere.

MatlabBGL provides robust and efficient graph algorithms for Matlab using native data structures.
In version 1.35.0, the Boost Graph Library added a large suite of planar graph algorithms.
Two functions help test if a graph is planar. The algorithm is the Boyer-Myrvold planarity tester.
K5 = clique_graph(5);
ans =
Of course K_5 isn't a planar graph. To get more information about why it isn't planar, we use the boyer_myrvold_planarity_test
function. When a graph isn't planar, this function will isolate a Kuratowski subgraph.
[is_planar K] = boyer_myrvold_planarity_test(K5);
is_planar =
ans =
0 1 1 1 1
1 0 1 1 1
1 1 0 1 1
1 1 1 0 1
1 1 1 1 0
A Kuratowski subgraph is a certificate that a graph isn't planar. A Kuratowski subgraph must contract to either K_5 or K_3,3
(a bipartite clique). In this case, the graph was K_5, and so K was the entire graph.
Let's have some fun! Let's look at a road network.
What? The road network isn't planar? Let's see what is going on here.
[is_planar K] = boyer_myrvold_planarity_test(A);
It looks like there are a lot of tree-like portions. Those shouldn't be the problem, let's remove them.
cn = core_numbers(K);
K2(cn<2,cn<2) = 0;
We'd better check the graph is still Kuratowski. There's a function called is_kuratowski_graph that does just this task.
ans =
Well, that looks more helpful, but I don't see the planarity problem. Now, let's try contracting edges. What the following
code does is to look for vertices of degree 2 (pieces of a line) and remove the intermediate vertex. In Matlab it isn't very
efficent code, but this graph only has a few edges (~1000) at this point, so it'll be fast enough.
Kcur = K2;
rand('state',0); % reset for deterministic results
for ntimes=1:20
% compute the degree of all edges
d = sum(Kcur,2);
% pick an independent set of vertices with degree 2
s = d==2;
s = s.*round(rand(size(s))); % randomly pick entries
a = Kcur*s; % follow one edge
s = s&~a; % remove dependent edges
a = Kcur*double(s);
fprintf('check for is: %i\n', full(sum(a&s))==0); % verify indep set.
% contract the edges
for k=find(s)'
ns = find(Kcur(:,k));
Kcur(ns(1),ns(2)) = 1;
Kcur(:,k) = 0;
Kcur(k,:) = 0;
Kcur = Kcur|Kcur';
% plot the graph after contraction in red
gplot(K2,xy,'.-'); hold on; gplot(Kcur,xy,'r.-'); hold off;
check for is: 1
check for is: 1
check for is: 1
check for is: 1
check for is: 1
check for is: 1
check for is: 1
check for is: 1
check for is: 1

check for is: 1
check for is: 1
check for is: 1
check for is: 1
check for is: 1
check for is: 1
check for is: 1
check for is: 1
Ahah, now we see the problem. (Try to untangle the red graph!)
Now that we see the problem, I think it's clear what we should have done from the beginning...
d = sum(K);
ans =
(1,1) 3
The maximum degree is 3, so the subgraph must be isomorphic to K_3,3.
d3= d==3;
That is the problem with the graph, but why doesn't the display show it? Well, it does.
gplot(K2,xy,'.-'); hold on; gplot(Kcur,xy,'r.-'); hold off;
xlim([-95.2092 -94.5842]);
ylim([ 43.5903 43.7778]);
It looks like there is a vertex of degree 4 in the middle. Unfortunately, that is just 2 paths crossing. Zooming in further,
there are actually two vertices there! That's the problem!
And so, here is a problem for you:
Problem, automatically identify the following pairs of vertices as problematic for the planar embedding [2546,2547] [1971,1975]
[1663,1666] Find another pair that prevents a planar embedding of the graph.
To investigate planar embeddings, let's start with the road network again.
Good, we found a planar region!
xy = xy(1:500,:);
Let's compute it's planar embedding
X = chrobak_payne_straight_line_drawing(A);
Well, that isn't quite as helpful, but now you know how to compute a straight line drawing. The straight line drawing is
computed from a maximal planar graph. A maximal planar graph cannot have any additional edges and still be planar.
M = make_maximal_planar(A);
That's it for our brief tour of planar graph algorithms in MatlabBGL. See the BGL documentation pages on planar graph algorithms
for more information.

Steve Jobs / Disney - $4 Billion + Marvel = Captain America iPhone?!
Attention true believers! Daring Disney dispenses 4 billion big ones to buyout mighty Marvel, its merry mutants, and stupendous superheroes!
Okay, rewind. To make that most tangential of relationships possible (just so we can blog about comics, of course): following Disney's Pixar acquisition, Steve Jobs -- then CEO of Pixar and still CEO of iPhone maker, Apple Inc. -- became Disney's largest shareholder. Now reports are circulating that Disney is buying Marvel Comics -- home of Spider-Man, the Hulk, Fantastic Four, Wolverine and the X-Men, and a literal fortunes worth of other character properties, for a cool $4 billion.
While this does mean Disney will likely be better positioned to compete against Warner Bros. and their portfolio of DC characters (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Watchmen, etc.), other than eventually being able to watch a Disney-produced Marvel film via iTunes, it probably doesn't mean much for Apple -- and certainly doesn't mean we'll see adamantium shelled iPhone any time ever.
But, again, it does give us the chance to geek out and project Steve Jobs as the new owner of Marvel. Or as the new Kingpin. Or Doctor Strange, if the 60s fit is better. Or...
Dunno, which Marvel Character is the most Steve Jobs?
[Thanks to our buddy Phil from WMExperts for the tip!]

Steve Jobs / Disney - $4 Billion + Marvel = Captain America iPhone?!
Disney just better let Marvel do your thing. I don't want Mickey Mouse mixing with Iron Man. I hope they keep doing the same thing just don't let Disney water anything down. Does this mean an end to R rated movies? I bet Universal Studios are crying right now.
Could this acquisition be somehow related to the ability of tablets to offer a wonderful e-comics viewing experience? Just wondering..
And to answer yer question I fell Jobs would be a terrific Dr. Victor Von Doom for this character is obsessed with tech and acts as a enlightened despot. Apple would be his own Latveria.
I'd say Apple got special treatment from Disney when it lauched movies and series at the iTunes Store. If ever the Apple tablet has e-comics or motion comics I am fairly sure that Marvel would be in there after this deal. And remember, Steve Jobs is still Chief Shareholder of the Walt Disney Co.
No comment. Please. Please. Back away
from the limo and let the big man through. I hear your pain Rene. Secretly Rene has been developing a new site called, themarvelblog.com where there are forums, the marvel blog forums and most importantly, it shall have an acronym also: TMb. (tim-bee) there will also be the Marvel Live podcast available in iTunes shortly.
Well King310 what I would wanna see is a Howard the Duck VS Donald Duck flick, thatd be epic.
I don't know... I see jobs more as an Apocalypse guy myself. Silently attempting to conquer the world. Just my thought...
Holy Crap!! What are the Marvel movies going to be like when the come out? gay Disney versions? Whats the next spiderman movie going to be like? This doesnt look good!!!
They Blanked out CRAP and GA_Y....FYI
suddenly Microsoft is looking like the indy humble non meglacorp that apple is slowly becoming.
@icebike According to Disney's most recent proxy statement, Jobs owns 7.4% of Disney's common stock:http://amedia.disney.go.com/investorrelations/proxy/proxy_2009.pdf

We need more realists.
When I read that Obama and Romney raised $320 million in June alone, it made me wonder if that amount of money will change many voters' minds.
As a realist, I don't believe it will have any significant impact on the way people vote in November.
The black community, the Hispanic community, the homosexual community and many union workers will vote for Obama, and the rest of us God-fearing Americans will hold our noses and vote for Romney.
That's the reality of the whole mess.

Who are his associates that helped him with these illegal acts? How did he get into such debt? Which banks were responsible for loaning him money? What are the ties between those banks and Jefferson and his family? What did he use for collateral? What did his financial disclosure statements state to be able to borrow such sums?
Jefferson is just a tapeworm that fed and continues to feed on the public. The banks and financial institutions that fronted him money now make it harder for YOU, the public to do honest business!
That's nice of the government to provide a place for the Jefferson Family Reunion 2009!
Either Bill will have to turn on everyone he was associated with for a lighter sentence, or, he'll just continue to destroy his family's felonious fortune through costly legal appeals.
Of course, it may be that his associates may be paying for his appeals and trying to keep him from jail for a few years to help protect themselves.
I hope his passport is being held by the court.
Very good start! Another thief off the street.
Now to move onto New Orleans based ACORN!
The trial is in Virginia...In VA, people are on TV if they steal 200 dollars from a local government and their trials are followed until the sentence.
There is little tolerance for officials who steal, embezzle, or bribe.
Jefferson is going to be very sorry that his offenses were in The Northern District Of Virginia....very little chance that one of the jurors has a relative that has benefitted from Jefferson's position.
I thought the most famous person whose remains were viewed in Bultman's was Jefferson Davis.
Pay the Chinese to keep him!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Truth: People who are arrested for crimes like this have committed many others that they have not been charged with. These people are known to local police forces, because street patrolmen have had many run ins with them in the past and police informants constantly give information on such people in exchange for protection.
If the city desires any degree of safety it must trust its street officers and also have a review panel with 50% police participation to control those police who unfairly deal with the TRULY innocent, who are few that find themselves on the receiving end of "street justice".
algiers4ever makes perfect sense. A poor city that has lost its economic base cannot support an aging infrastructure of a much larger city with a diversified economy.
With the exception of self sufficient areas of Orleans that should be allowed to form cities, the power grid and sewerage/water systems should have been shut off to areas without enough population to survive.
When a fifty inch water main bursts that means that there is a problem with age or deterioration and there is a lack of oversight. Huge pipes do not just break. They are being ignored because there isn't enough money to go around or be spent everywhere.
Plow under the areas that are unsupportable. Allow septic and wells in New Orleans East, let those residents that form new cities tax and police themselves. Then, concentrate on what can be supported and rebuild the city.
I would think that this former officer should face Federal civil right violation charges. Seems to me that five to seven years should be about right.
What kind of idiot story is this? Perhaps, I should have asked what kind of idiot would write such an idiotic story.
Not guilty....she had buyers remorse!
TOTG will be very fortunate to to get the upgrade in food and service.
It is a shame that the Yankees are going to get a bit of New Orleans food without visiting.
He's an animal and a product of a failed parental system that has abrogated all responsibility to the state.
Where is the stable father that works and teaches skills and a sense of morality? Where is the mother that lovingly teaches, even the fool, that hurting people is wrong?
Why did the police not keep this kid off of the street? How does a 14 year old walk around the most important money generation area for the City Of New Orleans in the early hours of the morning without being detained when his firearm could have been confiscated and his arrest certain?
By the way, if slowness is to be a defense to punishment, then there are a lot of people that are going to be able to continue to walk around us and who will hurt us in the future...and then walk away.
Seems to me it only went up in New Orleans when he was here and he initiated the policy of lowering standards for new recruits.
Deep rooted trees, such as Bald Cypress, have held in place through generations of storms and any in look along the South Shore of Lake Pontchartrain one can find many trees that are hundreds of years old.
The continued removal of trees in areas where they naturally occur can only lead to future generations who have no concept of natural beauty and man made structures devoid of shade that are more like grasslands than wetland.
Sand over mud levees with a light coating of grass can never replace the interlocked roots of trees designed to take heavy rain, high water, and wind stress.
With the existing record of failure of design by the Corps Of Army Engineers, I would suggest that there might be a better and more attractive way to protect from flooding.
let me see:
Guy runs when police demand he stops.
Pulls weapon and tries to kill officers.
Officers are saved by gun's failure to function.
Police apprehend a known criminal who supports his drug habit...BY STEALING in neighborhood where couple lives who spend time videotaping arrest.
Unclear if police give a little street justice OR
if known criminal continues to struggle and resist in dim light.
Answer: Throw known criminal in jail for attempted murder of a police officer and resisting arrest. Have someone tell people who reported what they think they saw to get a better lock and alarm system to stop guys like this known criminal from stealing from them or breaking into their cars. Might also tell them to call 911 instead of spending time being videographers, as when this guy or one of his friends break into the young couple's place in the future a neighbor might do the same thing instead of calling the police.
Intelligent design appeals to those who desire to make God appear to be more manlike and the process of evolution to be more understandable to those who cannot comprehend how slowly change in species takes place.
Continue to teach intelligent design if you desire your children to not enter science or be competitive in a global marketplace. It is very limiting to young monds.
Death, if no understanding and heart felt sorrow and regret for what she did.
Life in prison with a provision for parole in twenty years with sterilization as a mandatory condition of parole.
Just another woman who thinks that the child inside of her is just a bit of tissue, I suppose.
She's 20, but like a lot of 20 year old today are not as developed mentally, as they should be.
Abortion is available and legal, but this woman was in denial.
Adoption is available, but again this woman thinks of a child as disposable. Hundreds of local people would have jumped at the chance to adopt.
I believe this is murder if the child had taken a breath. I also think it is extreme neglect on the mother's part, if the child did not take a breath, for she did not seek care for her newborn.
Try her and if found guilty, put her away so she doesn't get a chance to do this again during her reproductive years.

COLUMBIA – Former South Carolina defensive lineman Stanley Doughty has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA alleging the governing body for college sports failed "to protect college football players," according to court documents.
Doughty is the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit that was filed Tuesday in the Columbia division of U.S. District Court. The suit requests "medical monitoring for the lifelong risks of brain injury" suffered while playing college football.
"The NCAA has breached its duty to protect college football players in the face of long-standing and overwhelming evidence regarding the need to do so," the lawsuit reads. "The NCAA has ignored this duty and profited immensely from its inaction and denial, all to the detriment of the players."
Doughty played at South Carolina from 2003-06. He spent one season in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2007, but his career was cut short.
Doughty alleges "repeated traumatic head impacts" at South Carolina prematurely ended his professional career, according to the lawsuit. In 2004, Doughty collided with a teammate in practice and experienced temporary paralysis and a persistent tingling sensation in his arms and neck. The next season, in a game at Tennessee, Doughty collided with running back Arian Foster and was "momentarily unable to move," according to the lawsuit.
Along with failure to protect college football players, Doughty's lawsuit also alleges the NCAA "failed to educate its football-playing athletes of the long-term, life-altering risks and consequences of head impacts in football" and its "conduct constitutes negligence and reckless endangerment.
"Such relief should have been provided by the NCAA decades ago to its players, but even today it is sorely needed for former players," the lawsuit reads.
The NCAA has not responded to the suit.

Submission + - How to boost Computer Science Education->
"Ninety percent of schools just don't even teach [computer science]. So if you're a parent and your school doesn't even offer this class, your kids aren't going to have the preparation they need for 21st century," says Hadi Partovi, co-founder of the nonprofit Code.org. "Just like we teach how electricity works and biology basics they should also know how the Internet works and how apps work. Schools need to add this to the curriculum."
Some sobering stats from last year's Computer Science AP [Advanced Placement] data:
* In Mississippi, Montana and Wyoming, no girls took the computer science exam.
* In 11 states, no black students took it.
* In eight states, no Hispanics took it.
* In 17 states, fewer than 100 students took it.

Sure you need to be on the VPN to see your e-mail (that notorious destroyer of productivity), but there's a lot of stuff you can be doing offline (or at least off the VPN) that is still productive work. For example, if I'm writing code, it's not always the case that I have to be on the company network to do it.
Also, my VPN software seems to be the only common element in the rare blue-screen crashes I get on my work laptop - so it's usually a lot less frustrating to leave it off.
In fact, if I am goofing off, I'm much more likely to log into the VPN and open my e-mail so that others can see that I'm "online" and working. I like to sit my laptop next to my gaming desktop while I do this!

Executive Chef
(pictured left)
Born &
raised in Danville, Penn., Chef Craig Deihl grew up in a quintessential
American household, where every evening dinner was on the table by the time his
father was home from work. His mother, an "unbelievable" cook, graced the
family's table with homespun meals—a ritual which remains to be one of the
biggest influences he has had as a chef.
Deihl is a Deihl was chosen in 2010 as Chef of the Year
by the Charleston chapter of the American Culinary Foundation. That same year,
he was a semi-finalist for a prestigious James Beard Foundation award for best
chef Southeast, and was a nominee for the award in 2011 and 2012, as well as a
semi-finalist again in 2013. Since 2011, he has led Slow Food Charleston's
Chefs-in-Schools program, which places local chefs in schools and educates
students on healthy food choices through classroom demonstrations, after-school
programs, tastings and professional development.
Through a partnership with the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy (ALBC) and farmer
Gra Moore of Carolina Heritage Farm, Deihl had the opportunity to be the first
chef in over 100 years to utilize the rare American Guinea Hog. This same
passion for preserving meat prompted him to adopt the CSA-like concept for
meats, Artisan Meat Share (AMS). From 2009-2013, participants received local
charcuterie and local farmers, in turn, received support from the increased
product demand in what Deihl describes as a win-win scenario for both. In late
summer 2014, Artisan Meat Share is opening at 33 Spring St., providing a place
where guests can enjoy all that AMS has to offer—all the time—including
award-winning charcuterie, freshly butchered meat and delicious sandwiches.
To date, Deihl has produced over 90 types of charcuterie
which have been prepared, stored and cured in-house at Cypress.
Chef de Cuisine
(pictured right)
started at Little Traverse Bay Golf Club in Harbor Springs, MI at 14, and
quickly realized that he wanted to pursue a career in the kitchen. He committed
himself to working his way up in the culinary world and became sous chef at the
Club by the end of high school. With limited instruction and a great deal of
trial and error, Cook has enjoyed 17 successful years in the industry.
his career, Cook has become proficient in the behind-the-scenes aspects of a
restaurant. His passion lies in South Asian, Korean and Thai cuisines and he
has a self-professed love for anything fermented and bubbly (i.e., kimchi,
sauerkraut, and pickling/preservation methods).
Cook moved from Michigan to Charleston in 2007 to join
the team at Cypress where he has showcased his strong butchering skills and
worked hand-in-hand with executive chef Craig Deihl in developing the
charcuterie program. He has also developed many in-house bread recipes and his
kimchi was recognized in Garden & Gun in March 2012.

Villa Park has been anything but a fortress since Lambert took charge of the club at the start of last season.
Lambert has orchestrated just five home victories from 21 Premier League games, notably chalking up nine defeats in the last 13 stretching back towards the end of December.
The run includes defeats to Liverpool and Newcastle already in front of the Villa supporters, while the club were unceremoniously dumped out of the Capital One Cup by visiting Tottenham in midweek, who are the next visitors on October 20 after City.
Lambert said: "You need to win your home games.
"You should have a good solid base at home, but we seem to be doing it the other way around at the moment, winning away from home, and finding it hard at home. I don't know why that is. It's strange.
"It's not as if we set our stall out any differently. We always go out to try and win every game we play in, and I'll never change that
"We've too many fans who come to watch us, so we can't sit back.
"Sometimes we are forced to because visiting teams get on top of you, but we never deliberately set out to defend.
"We know it's something we have to put right, to improve, and I'm sure it will come. The law of averages says it will come."
One of the keys for such an improvement will be goalkeeper Brad Guzan who produced a superb display in last Saturday's 1-0 win at Norwich, in particular saving a penalty from Robert Snodgrass.
Crucially for Villa it was their first clean sheet in 26 league games, stretching back to a goalless draw at Stoke on December 8.
"Against Norwich his handling was brilliant, he won everything," said Lambert.
"When you've a goalkeeper like that, who you know is going to come and collect the ball, it's certainly a great thing to have.
"There are obviously some great goalkeepers out there, but I can only speak for Brad and what I see every day, what he has been like in training and in matches.
"He has been absolutely brilliant for us, and apart from that, he is an absolutely top guy."

A day after nearly Wilberforce University's entire student body protested about on-going problems on campus and threatened to withdraw, top administrators said Thursday the school has been working to resolve their issues to keep the nation's oldest historically black university open.
University President Patricia Hardaway and administrators addressed the students' concerns at her off-campus home where students were not present. She stressed they have had an "open door policy" with students, met with student leaders last month and are working on some of the issues that sparked Wednesday's protest. Other concerns include expanding library and lab hours, improving food service and safety.
"As we look at our specific situation, of course we would prefer that students remain at Wilberforce University," Hardaway said. "There is not a university in the universe that relishes the idea of students withdrawing. Certainly we do not relish that idea either."
Despite their absence from the press conference, students said they will stage a second protest during next week's Board of Trustees off-campus meeting, said senior Brandon Harvey, student government president and organizer of the protests. On Wednesday, 337 students requested withdraw forms and said they would leave by next fall if changes are not made to "diminishing conditions," Harvey said.

Daskalakis Athletic Center during a ceremony that will include the recognition of honorary degrees to prominent individuals distinguished in their fields. The chosen recipients included are: Bernard Amadei: A professor of civil engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder, he has been appointed by the U.S. Department of State as one of three science envoys who will help strengthen U.S. ties with other countries to address global challenges. He founded the nonprofit organization Engineers Without Borders-USA, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year with more than 12,000 students, faculty and professional members across the country. In founding the organization, Amadei pioneered a new approach to engineering education by involving students in service learning projects in the developing world, an initiative that is helping to create globally responsible engineers and to provide sustainable and appropriate technology solutions to the endemic problems faced by developing communities worldwide. Amadei holds the Mortenson Endowed Chair in Global Engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder and served as faculty director of the Mortenson Center in Engineering for Developing Communities from 2009-2012. Amadei has been on the CU-Boulder faculty in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering for 30 years, with a specialty in rock mechanics and engineering geology. Amadei was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2008 and has received numerous other prestigious awards, including the Heinz Award for the Environment, the Hoover Medal, the Ralph Coats Roe Medal and the Norm Augustine Award. G. Wayne Clough: As the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Clough has taken the Smithsonian, the world's largest museum and research complex with activities in nearly 100 countries, in new directions creating a new framework for goals, enterprises and operations. He is responsible for an annual budget of $1 billion, 6,400 employees and 6,200 volunteers. Clough is currently overseeing a building and renovation program of more than $1 billion. Major elements include the renovation of the Arts and Industries Building on the National Mall, scheduled to re-open in 2014, and the construction of the National Museum of African American History and Culture located near the Washington Monument, scheduled to open in late 2015. Since coming to the Smithsonian, the Secretary has emphasized the development of collaborations with universities and other organizations.

Clough's recognitions include 2012 National Honor Member status in Chi Epsilon, the National Civil Engineering Honor Society, the 2011 Foreign Policy Association Medal, the American-Russian Cultural Cooperation Foundation Award in 2011, membership in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2010 and induction into the Technology Hall of Fame of Georgia. Elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1990, he was recognized with the 2008 NAE Bueche Award for his efforts in public policy. Clough has received nine national awards from the American Society of Civil Engineers. Paul Citron: Until 2003, he was vice president of Technology Policy and Academic Relations at Medtronic, Inc., a pioneer in the medical device industry and the largest developer of implantable therapeutic devices. Previously he was Medtronic's vice president of Science and Technology responsible for corporate-wide assessment and coordination of technology initiatives and for prioritization and funding of corporate research. Over his 32-year career at Medtronic before he retired in 2003, Citron developed and helped bring to the bedside technologies that advanced the utility, safety and effectiveness of innovative implanted medical devices. He is currently adjunct professor at the Jacobs School of Engineering, University of California San Diego, and is an advisor to start-up firms in the medical device and biotechnology sector. He has authored numerous medical technology peer reviewed publications. Citron holds nine U.S. medical device patents, including one that was designated "Patent of Distinction" by Medtronic for its positive impact on patient wellbeing. It permitted, for the first time, reliable long-term cardiac stimulation without the need for an open-chest surgical procedure. He currently serves as a National Academy of Engineering Councillor and is a member of the National Academies' Committee on Science, Engineering and Public Policy.

Bachelorette 2012 Spoilers: Emily Maynard Eliminates Doug in Prague Because He Doesn't Make a Move — Exclusive
All's fair in love and The Bachelorette! On the day we finally found out the (likely) name of the mystery man spotted making out with Emily Maynard on the Saint Charles Bridge in Prague, we learned of an upsetting departure. An exclusive Wetpaint Entertainment source witnessed a "visibly upset" Doug Clerget being filmed leaving his Prague hotel — and most likely The Bachelorette Season 8 filming — for good.
Our source overheard Doug, right, who had just come back from his date with Emily, telling the camera crew: "I think she made a mistake; she wanted me to make a move and make out with her, but I just didn't do it."
Sounds like Emily most likely won't be traveling with Doug to Tacoma, WA, for hometown dates! Doug, 33, is a realtor and philanthropist based out of the Pacific Northwest — and he's also a single dad to 11-year-old son Austin.
