ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) - Buffalo Bills running back C.J. Spiller and defensive tackle Kyle Williams have been added to the roster for Sunday's AFC Pro Bowl roster, replacing Super Bowl-bound Baltimore Ravens players Ray Rice and Haloti Ngata.
Spiller rushed for a career-high 1,244 yards on 207 carries and six touchdowns in 2012 - the first 1,000 yard season of his NFL career. He tied for the NFL-lead among running backs in 2012 with a 6.0 yards per carry average. Spiller eclipsed 100 yards from scrimmage in 11 games in 2012 - the first such season by a Bill since 1993 (Thurman Thomas - 13) and the third player to do so (O.J. Simpson).
Spiller was named to the AFC Pro Bowl roster in place of Baltimore Ravens RB Ray Rice.
A 5-11, 200-pound Clemson product, Spiller entered the NFL as Buffalo's first-round (10th overall) draft choice in 2010. In his three-year career, Spiller has totaled 2,088 rushing yards on 388 carries with 10 touchdowns and added 106 catches for 885 yards and five scores.
Williams recorded 5.0 sacks and 46 tackles (27 solo) in the 2012. In Week Two vs. Kansas City, Williams matched a career-best with 2.0 sacks and added three tackles.
"It's always an honor to represent your team and the city of Buffalo in the Pro Bowl," said DT Kyle Williams. "To be recognized by the fans, your peers and the coaches you play against means a lot. Our goal next year, as it is every season, is to still be competing at this time. It would be great for us, the fans and the city of Buffalo if we'd be able to watch the Pro Bowl next year as we're continuing our journey for a Super Bowl."
Williams was named to the AFC Pro Bowl roster in place of Baltimore Ravens DT Haloti Ngata.
A 6-1, 303-pound Louisiana State product, Williams entered the NFL as the first of Buffalo's two fifth-round (134th overall) draft picks in 2006. In his seven-year career, Williams has registered 346 tackles (224 solo) and 18.5 sacks in 99 games played with 94 starts. His 346 total tackles since entering the NFL in 2006 are tied for fifth-most among defensive tackles. This will mark Williams' second Pro Bowl appearance (2010).
A little later Bills free safety Jairus Byrd was added t the AFC Pro Bowl squad. He told the Bills "I'm just really excited and I thank God for the opportunity," said FS Jairus Byrd. "It'll be really special to join my teammates C.J. (Spiller) and Kyle (Williams) in Hawaii. I'm looking forward to playing in the game and the entire experience because I didn't get a chance to do so in my rookie year (2009). It'll be fun to experience the Pro Bowl for the first time."
Byrd tied for the AFC-lead with a team-best five interceptions in 2012 and made 76 tackles (53 solo). He received AFC Defensive Player of the Week accolades in Week Six after registering two interceptions, four solo tackles and two passes defensed in the team's 19-16 overtime win at Arizona. Since entering the NFL as a second-round draft pick of the Bills in 2009, Byrd is tied for third in the NFL with 18 interceptions.

FORT DRUM A country music song inspired by the father of Sgt. 1st Class Jared C. Monti, a 10th Mountain Division soldier who died in 2006 and was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 2009, won the song of the year award at Wednesday nights Country Music Association Awards.
The Lee Brice-performed song, I Drive Your Truck, was written by Connie Harrington and her two writing partners after hearing Sgt. Montis father, Paul, talk about his son on a National Public Radio program. Mr. Monti has driven his sons Dodge Ram truck since his death, and in June he drove it to a ceremony on post honoring soldiers killed in 2012.
Sgt. Monti was a member of the 3rd Squadron, 71st Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division.
Mr. Brices song about Sgt. Monti can be heard at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCSMCgqlc-0. The presentation of the award and the tribute to Sgt. Monti can be seen at www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbpHaVArd1o.

Patience With Vernon Gholston
Sitting in the stands Sunday wet and cold, my patience with Vernon Gholston seemed to wear a bit thin on a play where Cutler rolled out with Gholston in pursuit, who had Cutler dead to rights on his own two yard line.
Making that sack would have been a difference-maker in the game and it was a sack that you'd expect a 4.6 second 40-yard dashing linebacker to make, but he hesitated and it didn't happen. I screamed obscenities that were lost in the cold November Rain. Said Mangini yesterday:
"He had a significant shot [Sunday]. You know, there were plays to be made. You know, his opportunities were based on his ability to make those plays … I think he needs to continue to improve."
So where do we go from here? Same place we've been heading since the spring. With quality personnel ahead of him, I still think that there's no reason to rush him.
He's getting payed a lot of money? Big deal, that's what the cap is about. Frustrated that they could have taken someone to impact the game this year? The Jets have used their high draft picks for need in the first two years of their reign, and this was the first real BPA pick they made in the first round. They were entitled to it with the work they did in free agency.
I am going to give the kid at least two or three full seasons before I pass final judgement. D'Brickashaw was panned for two years, and I spent that time pleading to stay judgement. Now with some other players around him, look at him now. His sack total has declined precipitously and his run blocking has roundly improved. People routinely complained that they wanted to see shutdown play and a mean streak from him, and now I see both in 2008.
I know it's infuriating to live with the mistakes, reversals of fortune, and what-could-have-been plays, but give the kid more time, even if you do need to hurl epiphets into the sky come gameday. It's going to click for him eventually.

Supreme Court's School Voucher Argument Misses The Mark
The focus of the argument before the Supreme Court is on Article 1, Section 6, which provides that "[n]o money shall be drawn from the treasury, for the benefit of any religious or theological institution." The challenge to the statute's constitutionality is based on a facial interpretation of the statute, which generally places a higher burden on the party challenging the statute, as opposed to an as-applied interpretation that seeks to invalidate a particular application of the statute. The seminole case both parties cited during oral argument was a 2003 Indiana Supreme Court decision, Embry v. O'Bannon, which challenged the state's dual enrollment program that allows state-funded public schools to pay teachers to teach certain classes in parochial schools, which includes students also enrolled in the public schools that in return get to count the students enrolled in the parochial school in their average daily enrollment that determines the amount of state aid a public school receives.
In Embry, a decision authored by the Court's current Chief Justice, Brent Dickson, the Supreme Court upheld the dual enrollment program, holding that the statute did "not confer substantial benefits upon any religious or theological institution, nor directly fund activities of a religious nature" so as to violate Section 6. The Court interpreted Section 6 "to permit the State to contract with religious institutions for goods or services, notwithstanding possible incidental benefit to the institutions, and to prohibit the use of public funds only when directly used for such institutions' activities of a religious nature." Justices Boehm concurred in the result allowing the expenditure of public funds for strictly sectarian teaching purposes, but he sharply dissented to Dickson's implication in his opinion that Section 6 did not prohibit public funding for parochial schools because they weren't "religious institutions." "No one claims that the church-affiliated schools involved in this litigation provide a purely sectarian curriculum," Boehm wrote. "Rather, although they raise their pupils in different faiths, each of these schools teaches its own single religious or theological doctrine as creed. That in my view plainly renders each of them a "religious institution." Boehm traced the historical context of the adoption of the 1851 state constitution and believed the addition of Section 6 was intended "to expand, not contract, the type of religious entities for which public expenditure is prohibited" as Dickson's opinion implies.
Interestingly, the state's Solicitor Gereral Tom Fisher appeared to concede that Justice Boehm had the stronger argument on the purpose of the addition of Section 6 to the state's constitution in Embry. His argument focused on the form of the statute over its substance. Fisher even conceded that there was no way of preventing funds paid to educate the students at religious schools from being used for religious, as well as education purposes. Because the primary purpose of the scholarships was for sectarian educational purposes, it did not run afoul of Section 6 he contended. If the state had chosen to provide direct funding to religious schools for educating students rather than vouchers couched as scholarship awards to the parents to select the school of their choice, Fisher believed the statute would have violated Section 6. The attorney for the parents insisted that despite the nomenclature used in the statute, the funding was still passing directly from the state to the religious schools.
I think the attorneys for the parents challenging the statute made a big mistake by not challening the Choice Scholarship program on an as-applied basis as well as a facial challenge. I was also disappointed arguments did not also focus on Article 1, Section 4, which provides that "[n]o preference shall be given, by law, to any creed, religious society, or mode of worship; and no person shall be compelled to attend, erect, or support, any place of worship, or to maintain any ministry, against his consent." By using our tax dollars to support religious schools, Indiana's citizens are arguably being compelled to support and maintain religious ministries against their consent. Most of the schools certified for participation in the program are Catholic or fundamentalist Christian churches, but the Hebrew Academy of Indianapolis and Islamic School of Indianapolis are also certified participants in the program. Many of these schools discriminate in admissions against persons who are not affiliated with their religion. Indeed, the enabling statute permits them to do so. "An eligible school may not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin" according to the statute. Noticeably missing is discrimination based on gender and religion.
During the oral argument, Justice Mark Massa defended the statute as being "religious neutral." It is true that the statute makes no reference to religion, but 97% of the schools participating in the program are clearly not religious neutral and heavily mix religious teaching with their sectarian teaching curriculum. The Islamic School of Indianapolis, the Hebrew Academy of Indianapolis and Calvary Christian School are examples of schools where religious teaching is heavily mixed in with the sectarian teaching. That's one of the reasons I think the opponents of the law should have included an as-applied challenge, in addition to their facial challenge.
Massa suggested that providing scholarships to send students to these religious schools was no different than providing state-funded scholarships to students who attend a religious affiliated universities like Notre Dame. As the parents' attorney pointed out, virtually all religious-affiliated universities have pretty much abandoned the inculcation of their religious beliefs as part of their curriculum in favor of sectarian-only teaching in order to qualify for federal funding. Most religious-affiliated schools do not discriminate in their admissions based on a student's religious affiliation. The U.S. Supreme Court applies a "pervasive sectarian test" in determining whether schools run afoul of the U.S. Constitution's Esablishment Clause. "Aid normally may be thought to have a primary effect of advancing religion when it flows to an institution in which religion is so pervasive that a substantial portion of its functions are subsumed in the religious mission or when it funds a specifically religious activity in an otherwise substantially secular setting" under the "pervasive sectarian test."
The parents' attorney tried to remind the Court that the poor state of public education in this state prior to the adoption of the 1851 Constiution was due in large part to no uniform, state-funded public education system. Most public spending on education at the time, albeit meager funding, was being spent on private, religious schools. Shortly before the adoption of the 1851 Constitution, the state's voters approved a public question calling for the establishment of a uniform, public education system. To that end, Article 8 provided that the General Assembly "shall . . . provide, by law, for a general and uniform system of Common Schools, wherein tuition shall be without charge, and equally open to all." Article 8 further established a common school fund as a perpetual funding source for the state's schools and established the state Superintendent of Public Instruction as a constitutional officer to oversee the state's education system. The state contends the Choice Scholarship program does not run afoul of Article 8 because it does not receive its funding from the common school fund, but that argument seems specious. We all know that state revenues are to a large degree fungible and more money spent elsewhere usually means less money spent somewhere else. It's hard to argue that the Choice Scholarship program will not result in a reduction in state funding for our public school systems.
On one final note, I couldn't help but wonder whether Justice Massa should have recused himself from participating in this case. He was, after all, chief legal counsel to Gov. Mitch Daniels, whose office worked closely with Supt. Tony Bennett's office to help draft, lobby and steer the Choice Scholarship legislation through the state legislature, prior to him being appointed to the Court by Gov. Daniels. Nobody watching that oral argument could believe that he has an open mind about the legislation, and he certainly made little attempt to hide his views. It's one of the crowning achievement of his former boss. I think the parents' attorney made a mistake in not publicly calling on him to recuse himself, if for no other reason than to put him on notice that he was being watched closely.

Great analysis, Gary. You also did a good job of highlighting the distinction between public money being used to attend religious colleges/universities and relilgious K-12 schools. I'd never heard that argument before...though I'm not sure how much they were able to develop those facts in a case that's not an "as applied" challenge.
- Pete Boggs said...
"Common schools" were a default or last resort option of minimum standard, affordability of preference left to families & parents- not force fed & funded secularism.
- Gary R. Welsh said...
I wholeheartedly respect the rights of parents to send their children to a private, religious school, but it's a bridge too far to expect taxpayers to pay for their religious school upbringing. If you check out the websites for some of those schools, you find yourself shaking your head to think that taxpayer dollars are funding that type of education. Some of these schools do not offer open enrollment and devote substantial portions of the learning time towards inculcating students in a particular religious theology. None of the major Catholic universities are operated in this manner. The facts weren't developed at all in this case, Paul, or at least it didn't appear so based on the discussion during the oral argument.
- Gary R. Welsh said...
Conservative were pushing vouchers many years ago when I used to work for the Illinois legislature. One of the most conservative members in the House Republican caucus was very vocal in her opposition to vouchers because she didn't want the government telling religious schools how they had to be operated. She wanted them to remain independent and focused on their core mission. She knew that would be lost if government money entered the picture with all of the strings attached. It doesn't look to me like the state has made much attempt to place very many strings on the money these schools are receiving by design, which is all the more reason for concern that the money is being used for religious purposes in direct violation of not only the state constitution but the federal constitution as well.
- Pete Boggs said...
Schools not offering open enrollment are likely at or need additional capacity to take on more students. Many private schools have waiting lists due to the capacity issue, born in great part to the unwarranted, overcompensation of the government model system- exaggeration of statism at the expense of education.
Private schools can now make market adjustments for additional capacity.
We know firsthand that one midtown Catholic school experienced a 14% enrollment increase- in the first year of the family choice or voucher program! New students at this school are doing well & making a contribution all their own.
Outcomes trump superficial social engineering. Loss of theological mission at the university level is the very educational & principled deficiency which bedevils the Republican party...
- varangianguard said...
As soon as the Indiana Supreme Court finds for the State, I am going to start asking for my vouchers for everything else the State (and local governments too!) provides taxpayer monies for. After all, the same general concept should apply for all tax monies, I'm thinking.
I should be able to get vouchers so I can choose where my tax monies are spent for development, infrastructure, emergency services, and so on.
I, for one, am really looking forward to the potential for opportunities that this will present to me.

During World War I, American volunteers from all parts of the country filled the newly formed flying squadrons. Some where wealthy scions attending colleges such as Yale and Harvard who quit in mid-term to join the war. In one squadron, a wealthy lieutenant ordered medallions struck in solid bronze and presented them to his unit. One young pilot placed the medallion in a small leather pouch that he wore around his neck.
Shortly after acquiring the medallions, the pilots aircraft was severely damaged by ground fire. He was forced to land behind enemy lines and was immediately captured by a German patrol. In order to discourage his escape, the German took all of his personal identification except for the small leather pouch around his neck. In the meantime, he was taken to a small French town near the front. Taking advantage of a bombardment that night, he escaped. However, he was without personal identification.
He succeeded in avoiding German patrols by donning civilian attire and reached the front lines. With great difficulty, he crossed no-mans land. Eventually, he stumbled onto a French outpost. Unfortunately, saboteurs had plagued the French in that sector. They sometimes masqueraded as civilians and work civilian clothes. Not recognizing the young pilots American accent, the French thought him to be a saboteur and made ready to execute him. He had no identification to prove his allegiance, but he did have his leather pouch containing the medallion. He showed the medallion to his would-be executioners and one of his French captors recognized the squadron insignia on the medallion. They delayed his execution long enough for him to confirm his identity. Instead of shooting him they gave him a bottle of wine.
Back at his squadron, it became tradition to ensure that all members carried their medallion or coin at all times. This was accomplished in the following manners - a challenger would ask to see the medallion. If the challenged could no produce a medallion, they were required to buy a drink of choice for the member who challenged them. If the challenged member produced a medallion, then the challenging member was required to pay for the drink. This tradition continued on throughout the war and for many years after the war while surviving members of the squadron were still alive.

READ — The Latest on the Lockout
Kevin Schultz
Bruce Arthur at the National Post has a great synopsis on what's happening in lockout negotiations the last few days, including the owners throwing around insane phrases like "suicide bomber" (reportedly, to Adrian Dater) and "this is the hill we die on" (explicitly, in front of a podium). So it's now at the point where this insane and frankly disgusting terminology is being used to describe glorified board meetings. It's safe to say that talks aren't in a good place right now. But if you're interested in what's going on, please give it a read. I'm going to go throw up.
"One player told Adrian Dater of The Denver Post that Fehr encouraged players not to take the deal offered during owner-player meetings Wednesday night, saying they could get more; if so, then Fehr was basically doing the job the players hired him to do. Clearly both sides are to blame for the breakdown of the process, but only one of them is trying to do anything other than win on what are clearly their own terms. The NHL talks about giving, but the league isn't the one that's going to be relatively poorer to start the next CBA."

Good looking bag but after a 2 week European trip it was covered with scratches and even had a small dent on the front. I wouldn't buy another bag in this line.

Doubt he is every looked at as anything more than an organizational guy.

A series of meetings and presentations were held to promote and grow the OW2 community in Brazil:
- In Sa Paulo, we were greeted by Konsultex' Miguel Koren and his wife Rita who helped us arrange meetings with Novartis and the University of Sa Paulo (USP). Professor Fabio Kon at the Centro de Competncia em Software Livre at USP kindly booked an amphitheater for a presentation to invited USP professors and students.
- In Fortaleza, we met with Nabor das Chagas, Fernando Trinta, Plcido Rogerio and Jose Almeida of UNIFOR who organized a meeting for us to explain OW2 to Fatima Veras, the rector of the university, in order to develop cursus in areas related to open source. Nabor also helped organize a presentation for engineers at SERPRO's local branch.
- In Brasilia, while at CONSEGI, we had a highly productive meeting with the team behind the Demoiselle framework, now an OW2 project, in order to draft an action plan to integrate relevant OW2 projects into the framework and promote it within our community. Moreover, besides our scheduled presentations (see below), we were lucky to meet with many representatives of the open source community including Vicente Aguiar of Colivre, Erico Ferreira of Dataprev, Erico Vasconcelos of ETTBrasil, Rodolfo Gobbi of 4Linux, Rodrigo Hjort of HSI Consultoria, Jairo Fonseca of Light Infocon, Paulo Coelho of Proderj, Carlos Pittas of Propus and Michelle Ribeiro of Spirit Linux.
- 27 Aug. 10:40-11:20, Open Business Track: OW2 Institutional Presentation, Jean-Pierre Laisne, OW2 Chairman of the Board - download the presentation (PDF)
- 27 Aug. 14:45-15:30, Sala Alm. Alvaro Alberto: OW2: The Open Source Infrastructure Consortium, Cedric Thomas, OW2 CEO
- 27 Aug. 16:00-16:45, Sala Alm. Alvaro Alberto: French Social Security powers its nationwide SOA infrastructure with open source ESB Petals, Gael Blondelle, CTO EBM Websourcing, and OW2 VP Technology
The conference(August 26 - 28, 2009, Brazilia) was co-organized by SERPRO, OW2 Strategic member, who officially invited OW2 to participate (view the invitation)
The high point of CONSEGI was of course the presence of President Lula at the opening ceremony where he declared his intention to position Brazil at the forefront of open source in the world. Brazil is probably the only country where open source is granted such a broad political dimension. Government support for open source in Brazil is tremendous and it is brilliantly orchestrated by our friends at SERPRO. Open Business
In the framework of CONSEGI, SERPRO and the export-oriented Softex and Apex organizations, organized a day-long event where small open source companies started discussions about how to better cooperate in order to grow their market and leverage the federal government strategy to develop exports of open source technologies and solutions toward countries in Latin America and Africa. Open source trade association
As an outcome of CONSEGI and Open Business, we expect the launch of a Brazilian open source trade association in the near future. We are looking forward to supporting it through the OW2 Brazil Local Chapter and by providing access to world-class technology and an organized platform that is both community-driven and internationally connected. Brasilia Protocol
The Brasilia Protocol details a commitment and an action plan to enforce the ODF format as a standard for the production, exchange and storage of written documents. It is promoted by large IT users, including Caixa Economica Federal (Clarice Coppetti, VP IT at Caixa, is the coordinator of the Brasilia Protocol), Banco do Brasil, SERPRO, Ministrio das Relaes Exteriores, Correios, Dataprev, etc. The Brasilia Protocol is a unique initiative to promote nation-wide use of an open standard.

Bizarre plays, penalties and turnovers plagued Watauga High on Senior Night at Jack Groce Stadium on Friday night.
On a snowy, frigid night, the Pioneers hoping to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, dropped a 31-28 decision to St. Stephens in a Northwestern 3A/4A Conference game. The Pioneers also wasted their best offensive performance of the season in the process.

Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building
The College of Arts and Sciences' new Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building has officially opened at the corner of 33rd and Chestnut Streets. Home to North America's largest living biowall (and the only wall of its kind in a U.S. university), the Silver LEED-certified PISB is an impressive structure from top to bottom.
The landmark facility is named in honor of Drexel's 12th president, Constantine N. Papadakis. During his tenure, Papadakis recognized the need for greater space to serve the biomedical sciences, a field that quickly flourished after the University's merger with the College of Medicine. This growth was felt acutely by the Department of Biology, whose enrollment numbers have increased exponentially over the last decade: from 50 incoming freshmen in 2000 to 265 in 2010.
The burgeoning department celebrated their new home in the PISB along with over 600 members of the Drexel community at the grand opening and dedication of the building on September 20, 2011.
Undergraduate Sarah Michelson spoke on behalf of fellow biological science students.
"[The PISB] is certainly an upgrade from Stratton Hall, whose laboratories have become outdated and cramped with the rising number of science students," said Michelson. "In Stratton, many lab courses were scheduled back-to-back in the same room, leaving little time for instructors to prepare between classes. In turn, students lost valuable instruction time and were often shuffled out quickly."
As for the department's new home, Michelson added: "I believe that the Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building will have an immediate effect on the quality of education for biology students. New lecture halls and an increased number of teaching labs will allow for more flexible class scheduling."
The 150,000 square-foot building, designed by world-renowned architects Diamond & Schmitt and executed by Turner Construction, houses 44 research and teaching laboratories for biology, chemistry and biomedical engineering. The focal point of the atrium is the 22-foot wide, 80-foot tall living biowall, designed by Nedlaw Living Walls and maintained by Parker Plants. (Learn more about the health benefits of the biowall and its role in Drexel research.)
Biology research faculty, whose work ranges from biodiversity conservation to cancer and Alzheimer's research, each have a lab in the building that is equipped with the latest technology (not to mention some of the best views of University City). In Ken Lacovara's, PhD, specially designed fossil lab, students are already back to work piecing together the most complete skeleton of a supermassive dinosaur (the fruits of Lacovara's five-year Patagonian expedition).
In addition to the laboratories, the essence of the PISB—a place for faculty and students to interact, to discuss and discover—can be felt in the open atrium, in the "collaboratories" on the second, third, and fourth floors, and in the brightly lit classrooms and lecture halls.
"It was a five-year odyssey that resulted in this magnificent building. However, what is more important now is the journey that begins today within this new structure," said Donna Murasko, PhD dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, at the grand opening. "We now have research facilities that reflect the true value of our current faculty and allow our students to learn in state-of-the-art classrooms and teaching labs. We now have space to grow to provide sufficient research experiences for undergraduates and to attract higher caliber faculty to mentor them. This building visibly signifies that Drexel has turned a new page and that it has truly become the gateway for the sciences in Philadelphia."
Murasko thanked a number of people for their role in completing the building: former provost Judith Pitney, late biology department head Mary K. Howett, PhD current head of biology Jeffery Twiss, PhD and, most pointedly, Aleister Saunders, PhD whom she referred to as the "voice of the College" throughout the process.
Saunders, associate professor and associate department head of biology, also spoke at the PISB opening and remarked on his initial shock at being asked to represent the College to the architects, the construction company and to Drexel's own facilities department.
"The renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright said that a building's 'form and function should be one, joined in spiritual union.' Although I may have had my doubts as to my fitness to serve in this role, the administration was acting from greater wisdom," said Saunders. "I was asked to join the team because the administration knew that for this building to succeed, users needed to be integral to the process from start to finish. If Mr. Wright were to spend a day with us here, I believe he would agree that this building is a shining and elegant example of the union of form and function."
The evening concluded with faculty-led tours of the building and individual ribbon-cutting ceremonies in the spaces that have already been named by Drexel's beloved alumni and friends. Learn more about how you can support this impressive building and the work that takes place within it.

USAID supports the broadcast of radio programs on conflict resolution
USAID helps women living with HIV develop skills so that they can earn their own income
About Burundi
In 2010, Burundi completed its second round of national elections following the 2000 Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Accords that provided a negotiated settlement to the nation's long-standing civil war. Domestic and international observers judged the elections to be free and fair, but the challenge of democratic consolidation remains critical—as does the need to demonstrate peace dividends to a population that is poorer today than when the conflict began in 1993. Significant USAID engagement with the Government of Burundi and civil society stakeholders remains vital to accelerating social service delivery, consolidating peace and security, advancing the democratization process, and rebuilding the country's economy.

Bali Hosts MISS WORLD 2013
Bali Hosts MISS WORLD 2013
28 Sep 2013 Start At: 11:45 Until: 23:00
The enchanting tourist island of Bali will host Miss World 2013, where Global Finals will take place at the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center on Saturday, 28 September 2013.
This is the first time that Miss World is held in a South East Asian country.
Over 125 beauties from around the globe will arrive on the island of Bali one month prior to the finals, staying at Nusa Dua, to be judged here while exploring some of Indonesia's finest beaches, nature, arts and culture.
Contestants are those who in the preceding year have won their national Miss World title in the national preliminaries conducted by their respective license-holders, who hold the franchise to use the "Miss World" name in that country.
To support the Pageant, this year more than 120 of Indonesia's top designers are involved to design the costumes of contestants.
The Miss World pageant is the oldest surviving major international beauty pageant, created in the United Kingdom by Eric Morley in 1951. Since his death in the year 2000, Morley's wife, Julia Morley, co-chaired the pageant. Alongside its rivals Miss Universe and Miss Earth, this pageant is one of the most publicized beauty contests in the world. The winner will spend a year travelling to represent the Miss World Organization and its various causes.
The Miss World Organization owns and manages the annual Miss World Finals; a competition that has grown into one of the world's biggest. Since its launch in 1951, the Miss World Organization has raised more than £250 million for children's charities. Miss World is franchised in more than 100 countries. For this year final, the Miss World Organization has teamed up with Indonesian Television Broadcasting Company, RCTI as Exclusive Partner and Broadcaster of Miss World 2013 and the License holder of Miss Indonesia.
