Food, Law Schools, listserv, Rudeness
In case you haven't noticed by now, law students tend to be an overly dramatic bunch. If something inconveniences them, their lives have been ruined. If they don't immediately get their way, they'll storm off to Change.org and write a petition about it. And if something bad happens to them and they've got access to a school-wide listserv, then my God, abandon all hope ye who open that email.
Around these parts, we're prone to calling these people "Millennials" — the special little snowflakes who've been raised to believe that they can do no wrong. That's why we love it so when one of them gets smacked down by one of their more cynical peers.
Earlier this week, an enraged student from a T14 law school sent out a fiery email to the entire school because oh nooooes, someone had stolen her lunch, which is obviously the worst thing that's ever happened in this chick's life. But we're kind of happy that this most awful event occurred, because the reply email is absolutely fabulous….
This all unfolded at Michigan Law, a place where students have written angsty emails about their pilfered foodstuffs in the past. This time around, a girl who we'll call Jenny Craig was angered terribly after some ungrateful bastard ate her burrito — not half of the burrito, but the whole entire thing. We'll pour some salsa out for your fallen homie, Jenny, because we can imagine how violated you must've felt.
But the OMG worst part EVER is that some of Jenny's friends had to go hungry, too. Here's the incredibly vengeful email Michigan Law's student body received as a result of this atrocious situation:
From: Jenny Craig
Date: Thu, Apr 4, 2013 at 10:23 AM
Subject: [lawopen] PSA: If you eat food out of the Commons fridge that isn't yours…
To: "[Unofficial Law Listserv]"
you are the single worst person at this law school (or the single worst undergrad who studies here), and I don't think I'm overstating things. If you:
– ate my entire burrito
– ate another student's homemade pizza
– ate HALF of another student's crackers out of a Ziploc (?)
then you are the worst. Just so you know.
Congratulations, you've just destroyed this girl's existence. Thankfully, a famous American poet familiar with life at peer academic institutions took it upon himself to apologize on behalf of the lunch thief:

This is just to say…
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
Ta-f**king-da. If all law students could have such a great sense of humor about life's so-called travesties, namely stolen lunches, then we imagine law school would be a much, much happier place.

(Jun 25, 2009) It was reported on June 18, 2009, that a draft mining law seeking to increase government revenue from mining activities and to regulate the involvement of children in mining will soon be introduced in Sierre Leone's Parliament. (Ibrahim Tarawallie, 2009 Draft Mining Act Reviewed, CONCORD TIMES, June 18, 2009, available at http://allafrica.com/stories/200906180704.html.)
According to Alhaji Alpha Kanu, the Minister of Mineral Resources, the draft law will, once enacted, increase government revenues from mining, particularly diamonds, through increases in taxes and through government equity that is expected to go up to 30% from its current rate of 3%. Kanu also noted that the government is concerned about the recruitment of children in mining activities and so the law will discourage their involvement. (Id.)
According to Kanu, the draft law has already been reviewed by a committee including officials from the Ministry of Mining and Mineral Resources, the National Revenue Authority, the Ministry of Finance, and the Strategic Policy Unit and is awaiting Cabinet endorsement before it can be introduced in Parliament.

| Birmingham -- If there's gonna be a spokesman for a new marketing campaign - perhaps it should be Chris Jackler of Shalmet, Louisiana. He's living in one of 80 FEMA trailers set up at Oak Mountain State Park on the southern fringe of Birmingham.
"Birmingham's a beautiful city, everyone's been really nice here. I wouldn't mind stayin' for a while! I mean if anybody's an evacuee from the hurricane I'd say come here because it's the most amazing place."
That's just what Birmingham City Councilwoman Carole Smitherman wants to hear.
"We rolled out our southern hospitality initially. We did all we could to invite people in, take them into our homes. Did whatever we could to make them comfortable."
Sounds altruistic, but there's a bottom line too. Birmingham ranks sixth in the U.S. for the number of people leaving the city proper. While the suburbs have flourished, Smitherman says the urban core is crumbling.
"It certainly affects our tax base and it also affects our education base as well because our dollars are programmed based on the number of student that we have enrolled in our schools. "
Some school districts have struggled to absorb displaced students. Still, the city has rolled out the welcome mat and is leaving it there. Smitherman wants to launch a nationwide marketing campaign to convince hurricane evacuees to choose Birmingham as their new home. Her plan includes tax breaks for displaced businesspeople willing to set up shop here.
Down at the state park 20-year-old Courtney Cook has already made up her mind. After months of job-hunting in her native St. Bernard, Louisiana, she got hired to sell clothes at a local mall here. She also plans to continue her education.
"I'm thinking about going back to school in January. I'm going for paralegal. I only have like a year and a half left. I love it. I don't want to leave. I love it."
Economists caution that growth doesn't always equal prosperity. Birmingham wants to make sure it lures evacuees like Cook who'll earn good salaries and spend money locally, instead of being a drain on the system. Councilwoman Smitherman also recognizes that the marketing campaign itself has to be carefully crafted.
"We certainly don't want to appear as if we are trying to take advantage of a bad situation. But on the other hand we do know the challenges that business and individuals face right now in terms of where do I go, what do I do? We just offer ourselves as a wonderful alternative."
-- Tanya Ott, October 13, 2005

When Guilderland began its varsity hockey program in 2001, the Dutchmen struggled through some growing pains before making a respectable run through the Capital District High School Hockey League.
The Dutchmen are faced with a similar challenge this season. Though they have 11 returning players, many of them are having to assume key roles following the graduation of a talented senior class.
I told the kids that I felt this team is similar to that first team we had, said Guilderland coach John DeRubertis. "The difference is our schedule is 10 times tougher than the one we had that first year."
Guilderland's 2-5 record is a reflection of how difficult that schedule is. The Dutchmen's five losses have come against some of the top programs in the state " Kenmore East, Kenmore West, Canton, Potsdam and Mamaroneck.
"We played four really strong teams to start, and we got beat up pretty well," said DeRubertis.
The Dutchmen have learned from their losses, though. They opened their CDHSHL season with a 3-1 victory over traditional power Saratoga Dec. 8, and they pulled out a 4-3 overtime victory over Lake Placid in Friday's opening round of the Guilderland Holiday Tournament at Union College in Schenectady.
"Those four beatings we took to start the season, the speed we saw from those teams helped us against Saratoga," said DeRubertis.
Guilderland even had a chance to beat Mamaroneck in Saturday's championship game. The Dutchmen led 2-1 with five minutes left in the second period, but a series of penalties gave the Tigers new life. Mamaroneck scored three power play goals in the final five minutes of the period to take a 4-2 lead and tallied again with the man advantage to start the third period, which effectively put Guilderland away.
"We really played well enough to beat that team. We just didn't stay focused," said DeRubertis.

Six Climbers Presumed Dead on Mt. Rainier
5/31/14 - A guided team attempting the Liberty Ridge route on 14,410-foot Mt. Rainier—two guides and four clients—has been missing since Wednesday, and searchers today found a debris field that suggested an avalanche had wiped out the entire team. Fawn Bauer, a National Park Service spokeswoman, was quoted in the Seattle Times as saying that rescuers "feel there is no chance of survival at this point."
Bauer said searchers flying over the scene in a helicopter had seen tents, clothing, and other equipment in a large debris field on the Carbon Glacier, below Liberty Ridge on the north side of the mountain. The evidence suggests the entire team may have been swept more than 3,000 feet down the mountain.
Todd Burleson, founder of Alpine Ascents International, told reporters the lead guide on the ascent, Matt Hegeman, called in on Tuesday and said the team had made it to Thumb Rock, a traditional camp on the route. On Wednesday, the guide called again and said they planned to camp at ca. 12,800 feet. There was no further contact with the climbers. The team had planned to descend from Rainier by Friday.
Names of the victims have not been released publicly, but the two guides are known to have been Hegeman and Eitan Green, both working for Alpine Ascents International. Hegeman, an AMGA certified alpine guide based in Truckee, California, had climbed Rainier more than 50 times. Green, 29, began climbing and guiding in New England and now guided in Ouray, Colorado, during the winters and for Alpine Ascents during the warmer months.
Liberty Ridge, the most popular of the more difficult routes on Washington's highest peak, is also statistically the most dangerous route on the mountain. Less than 2 percent of climbers attempt Rainier by Liberty Ridge, but over the last 30 years, through 2013, more than 35 percent of the fatalities on Rainier have involved Liberty Ridge ascents. This tragic incident may raise that percentage significantly.
The worst accident on Mt. Rainier was in 1981, when 11 climbers were killed by an avalanche on the Ingraham Glacier.
Date of accident: May 2014

So sorry to hear of this accident. Liberty ridge is the most popular of the DIFFICULT routes. If I have my facts correct: Roughly 80-150 people attempt the Liberty Ridge route per year. About half of them summit, while many retreat down the route before having summited. Roughly 10,000 people attempt to climb Rainer every year, most by the routes on the south side of the mountain and some via Camp Sherman on the east side of the mountain. I've climbed Liberty Ridge in 2006 with two friends, and I feel lucky to still be alive. My heart goes out to the families and of these climbers and guides.Tom - 06/02/2014 11:04:53

As Kotaku reported, Japanese media was quick to point out some of the ironies of the anti-Japan protests taking place in China. Japanese net users have also pointed out a glaring omission from the rage of the Chinese; Japanese culture such as manga (comics), anime (animation), and video games were unscathed and Chinese youth continued to partake in cosplay.
Well, it appears that Chinese net users have also been observant of the contradictory nature of the protests of their fellow countrymen. Chinese internet portal NetEase put together a quick survey on their homepage to gauge the reaction of Chinese gamers to see what they thought about the protests.
*Note: NetEase did not reveal the numbered surveyed.
According to NetEase's survey, at least half of the surveyed number of Chinese gamers feel that "recklessly and blindly protesting Japanese goods is detrimental to the development of the country (China)". On top of that, 25 percent of those surveyed believed that Japanese games serve as entertainment and should be viewed just as such. Of all people surveyed only 25 percent were pro protesting Japanese games and culture.
Chinese gamers were also asked what they thought of the influence of Japanese games and "geek culture" on China. The breakdown of responses on this question was a bit more even with about 34 percent feeling that there is no influence and 28 responding that the influence is hard to gauge. Thirty-seven percent responded that they just happen to like anime, manga, and video games from Japan and that whether or not if there is any influence shouldn't matter.
The numbers suggest some gamers have a somewhat pragmatic outlook on the matter. Twenty-six year-old gamer Yang Yang wrote that she doesn't bother thinking about where her anime and video games comes from; however, when asked about what she thought of Japan, she said she would say, "I hate Japan."
Another Chinese gamer using the tag "Sleeping Fairy" wrote that those who blindly protesting Japan and Japanese goods were no good hooligans who were protesting for the sake of causing trouble. The 22-year-old wrote that many of these protesters march in the streets, but when they return home they have Japanese girls on their desktops and Japanese games in their computers. She wrote that on many levels, it's okay to be angry at the Japanese. However, she added that because people play Japanese games watch Japanese anime, people in China must accept that there are things from Japan that they can't protest and hate.
From personal experience, I can say that Japanese culture in China is very prevalent. Many young Chinese grew up watching Japanese anime classics such as Doraemon and Slam Dunk. The Chinese attitude towards Japan is conflicted. Many of the people I work with on a daily basis would get all up in arms against Japan (particularly over territorial disputes) but then, they would enjoy something that came from Japan such as purchasing 7-11 brand green tea from the local 7-11. 7-11 is a japanese company. Let that sink in for a bit. They get angry at Japan and then purchase Japanese drinks from a Japanese company.
However, on a purely gaming culture standpoint, at least the Chinese feel that games, anime, and related Japanese culture is at least acceptable, if not only for entertainment.

King Arthur's white whole-wheat flour is preferable for these yummies. Use festive sprinkles on them if baking them for the holidays.
YIELD: Makes about 40 cookies
ACTIVE TIME: 10 minutes plus cooling
TOTAL TIME: 34 minutes
- 2 sticks (1/2 pound) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/3 cups white whole-wheat flour, such as King Arthur
- 1 1/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- White sugar sprinkles, for rolling
1. Arrange the racks in upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F. Get out 2 large cookie sheets and line with parchment paper. Place some white sugar sprinkles in a small bowl.
2. Prepare dough: Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the vanilla, baking soda and salt and beat at medium speed until incorporated. Add the egg and beat until incorporated. Add the flours and mix at low speed until blended, scraping down the bowl once or twice.
3. Scoop up enough dough to form into a 1-inch ball, rolling between the palms until smooth. Roll the dough ball in sugar sprinkles and then place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat, arranging a dozen coated dough balls evenly spaced on each sheet and then, using a drinking glass, press on dough balls to flatten to about 1/4 inch thick.
4. Bake cookies about 12 minutes, switching and rotating the pans half way through, until cookies are golden and somewhat firm to the touch. Transfer cookies with a metal spatula to racks and let cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
Cooks' Note:
You can use chocolate "jimmies" or other sprinkles for coating the cookies before baking. The sugar comes in colors, but we prefer not to use artificial coloring. Coarse sugar sprinkles are available in specialty stores; we like them better than the kind you can typically get at the supermarket. Indiantree.com offers sugar sprinkles that are dyed with vegetable juicesthe pink, orange and yellow are particularly pretty.
Sugar Cookie Cut-outs: Divide the dough in half, wrap in waxed paper and chill for at least 1 hour. Lightly flour a work surface and then roll out one pieces of dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out cookies with cookie cutters. Transfer cookies with a metal spatula to baking sheets and chill for 10 minutes. Bake cookies about 15 minutes, let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes and then transfer to racks.

Science Works: SBIR Program Overview
MUSIC: "Science Works" theme music.
LACAPRA: Welcome to EPA's "Science Works," a podcast about how the EPA uses science to meet its mission to protect your health and environment. From "Science Works" at EPA, I'm Véronique LaCapra.
Today we're going to hear about an EPA program that works with small businesses to develop innovative environmental technologies.
RICHARDS: The idea is to utilize the small business community's wealth of knowledge and entrepreneurial ability to investigate new technologies in the small business community.
LACAPRA: April Richards is the Deputy Director of EPA's Small Business Innovation Research program – or SBIR. Congress established the SBIR program in 1982 to get small businesses more involved in federally-funded research. Today, eleven federal government agencies have SBIR programs.
RICHARDS: The way the program was designed is that each agency can use the SBIR program to help meet its mission.
LACAPRA: In EPA's case, that means giving funds to small businesses to develop new technologies that help protect human health and the environment.
RICHARDS: The SBIR program is great because it lets the companies retain their intellectual property, which is really important, and it also does not require the small business to pay back any of the money to the government.
LACAPRA: Any U.S. business with fewer than 500 employees – and a great idea for a new environmental technology – can apply to the program.
RICHARDS: EPA funds a broad range of environmental technologies. In 2009, we are actually having a special focus on green building technologies.
LACAPRA: Green building technologies are materials or processes that make the construction, operation, maintenance, or demolition of a building more environmentally sustainable.
RICHARDS: So that would include things like new materials, materials that are maybe made from recycled content, or that are more durable, less toxic.
LACAPRA: Technologies that improve indoor air quality would also fall under the category of green building.
RICHARDS: Another area that we haven't really focused on in the past, that we're going to include in this year's topics, is greenhouse gases.
LACAPRA: Greenhouse gas technologies could include new ways to detect or reduce the emissions of compounds like carbon dioxide and methane that contribute to global climate change.
Other EPA project needs for 2009, include technologies to monitor or improve air and water quality, develop biofuels, reduce waste, and decrease the environmental impact of manufacturing. EPA is also interested in funding projects that use nanotechnology to address environmental problems, or that strengthen homeland security.
In February 2009, Congress provided about 85 million dollars in new SBIR funding to the National Science Foundation. NSF is partnering with EPA to use some of these new funds to develop environmental technologies.
RICHARDS: So we're really encouraging companies that are thinking about developing technologies to look at the National Science Foundation SBIR program for possible resources for their projects.
LACAPRA: EPA's SBIR program has been remarkably successful. In the period between 1993 and 2004, close to 40 percent of the companies that progressed successfully through the program reported some level of commercial sales.
April Richards emphasizes another achievement of the SBIR program: its success in cultivating a group of small businesses focused on environmental innovation.
RICHARDS: Even if the research and development doesn't lead directly to commercial sales, we've still got people thinking about the issues, and developing a platform technology that someone else might pick up, or someone else might license, so it's really another way to look at the success of the program.
LACAPRA: The next application period for EPA's SBIR program opens on March 19th and runs through May 20th. You can find the application form and other information about the program on our website, at epa.gov/ncer/sbir. This webpage also includes a link to the SBIR program of the National Science Foundation.
MUSIC: "Science Works" theme music.
LACAPRA: Thanks for listening to "Science Works," a podcast series produced by EPA's Office of Research and Development. Please check back again soon for our next program, at epa.gov/ncer.

The Entrepreneurial State
Debunking Public vs. Private Sector Myths
This book debunks the myth of a dynamic private sector vs. a sluggish public sector by providing a detailed account of the role of the public sector in taking on high-risk entrepreneurial investments, from the Internet to the 'green revolution'.
About This Book
'It is one of the most incisive economic books in years.' —Jeffery Madrick, 'New York Review of Books'
'Mazzucato argues that long-term, patient government funding is an absolute prerequisite for breakthrough innovation. […] Even if you disagree with Mazzucato's argument, you should read her book. It will challenge your thinking.' —Bruce Upbin, 'Forbes'
'[A] meticulously argued treatise that shows how unwise our conventional wisdom has become.' —Christopher Dickey, 'Newsweek'
'Conventional economics offers abstract models; conventional wisdom insists that the answer lies with private entrepreneurship. In this brilliant book, Mariana Mazzucato […] argues that the former is useless and the latter incomplete.' —Martin Wolf, 'Financial Times'
'This is a book whose time has come. Mariana Mazzucato documents how the state played a crucial role behind some of the landmark innovations of our time. For many, the "entrepreneurial state" is a contradiction in terms. For Mazzucato, it is both a reality and a requirement for future prosperity.' —Dani Rodrik, Rafiq Hariri Professor of International Political Economy, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
For more information please see the book website:
This new bestseller from leading economist Mariana Mazzucato – named by the 'New Republic' as one of the 'most important innovation thinkers' today – is stirring up much-needed debates worldwide about the role of the State in innovation. Debunking the myth of a laggard State at odds with a dynamic private sector, Mazzucato reveals in case study after case study that in fact the opposite situation is true, with the private sector only finding the courage to invest after the entrepreneurial State has made the high-risk investments. Case studies include examples of the State's role in the 'green revolution', in biotech and pharmaceuticals, as well as several detailed examples from Silicon Valley. In an intensely researched chapter, she reveals that every technology that makes the iPhone so 'smart' was government funded: the Internet, GPS, its touch-screen display and the voice-activated Siri. Mazzucato also controversially argues that in the history of modern capitalism the State has not only fixed market failures, but has also shaped and created markets, paving the way for new technologies and sectors that the private sector only ventures into once the initial risk has been assumed. And yet by not admitting the State's role we are socializing only the risks, while privatizing the rewards in fewer hands. This, she argues, hurts both future innovation and equity in modern-day capitalism. Named one of the '2013 Books of the Year' by the 'Financial Times' and recommended by 'Forbes' in its 2013 'creative leaders' list, this book is a must-read for those interested in a refreshing and long-awaited take on the public vs. private sector debate.
Author Information
Mariana Mazzucato is RM Phillips Professor in the Economics of Innovation, SPRU, University of Sussex. Named one of the 'three most important thinkers about innovation' by the 'New Republic', she lectures widely and advises the UK government and the European Commission on innovation-led growth.

WFP and the Government of Ecuador have worked together for many years to address food and nutrition insecurity facing vulnerable Ecuadorians and Colombian refugees. Since 2011, the focus of the collaborative work has been to improve access to and promotion of consumption of healthy foods, especially locally produced fresh fruits and vegetables.This two-page document summarizes a case study published in May 2015
7 May 2015
The Ecuador 2014 Annual Report focuses on the impact of WFP's assistance in people's lives. Farmers, storekeepers and participants in WFP projects describe their experiences with WFP in their own words.
WFP works in Ecuador in support of the Government's priorities to:
• Diversify diets to improve nutrition
• Provide opportunities for and strengthen small farmer associations
• Empower women so that they play a stronger role in their homes and communities
• Strengthen capacities at all levels: people, communities, and institutions.
22 July 2014
In 2011, the World Food Programme (WFP) implemented the "Food, Cash, and Voucher Program" in Ecuador to improve food security and also to determine which modality of food assistance was the most cost effective, for the local context, cash, vouchers, or food rations. To promote the role of women in household decision-making on food consumption and nutrition, the program prioritized women in the targeting of the transfers.
Studies in Latin America reveal that cash transfers directed at women can have an impact on intra-household dynamics, reducing physical and psychological violence, but may also increase instances of threats and verbal abuse. However, economic models and empirical studies have not come to a clear conclusion on the linkages between women's income and intimate partner violence (IPV). Given the program's focus on women's empowerment and existing evidence on the impact of cash transfers on IPV, IFPRI and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine conducted a study on the impact of transfers on intra-household relationships during the WFP program, with a focus on IPV.
Among the conclusions, the study states the high prevalence of IPV in the sample. Participation in the program decreased different types of IPV, including controlling behavior, moderate physical violence, and severe physical or sexual violence by 38 to 43 percent, regardless of transfer modality (cash, vouchers, or food).
The transfers appeared to improve women's capacity to make decisions about food consumption and household nutrition, which in turn affected women's self-perception as heads of their households. Finally, framing the transfers as a program to improve nutrition might have reduced the possibility of violent reactions by men to increases in women's empowerment.
24 April 2014
WFP's role in Ecuador includes strengthening capacities and becoming a learning office. As generating evidence and informing public policy is a stated priority of the Government of Ecuador, and a recognized role for the international cooperation, WFP works with local governments to understand the underlying causes of hunger and malnutrition and the capacities that exist to address the main determinants of malnutrition.
Recent efforts in knowledge generation include:
• On-the-job learning to allow for innovation and understanding of what works in different contexts;
• Exchanging of experiences with partners and beneficiaries to identify how WFP can improve activities on an ongoing basis; and
• Learning from rigorous studies and impact evaluations, conducted jointly with respected research institutions.
The 2013 Ecuador Annual Report highlights lessons and learning, but also results as WFP works with the Government of Ecuador to make malnutrition a visible issue at the top of public policy agendas.
28 March 2014
This evaluation of WFP's 2008 cash and voucher policy was commissioned by the Office of Evaluation in order to assess the quality and results of the policy and its implementation.
The evaluation found that although the policy does not represent WFP's current best practice for policies, it served its purpose in establishing the basis for authorizing use of cash transfers and vouchers within WFP's mandate. However, the intended outcomes of the policy — such as empowerment of beneficiaries, improved livelihoods and better coping strategies — were not measured systematically, and the lack of disaggregation by modality at project level in the corporate monitoring system makes it impossible to attribute achievement of corporate outcomes or outputs to modality, be it cash, vouchers or in-kind food. Other expected outcomes from the policy were related to efficiency gains in the business process, which were found to have had mixed results, with some key bottlenecks causing significant delays.
Among key recommendations are updating revised manuals and guidance, rather than updating the policy. Furthermore it recommends that WFP invest in capacity development, identify and empower leadership on cash transfers and vouchers, and build evidence to clarify its value proposition to its external partners.
22 May 2013
Ecuador WFP Ecuador's 2012 Annual Report documents a compilation of best practices in learning, innovation, and improved tools to reach the most vulnerable and improve their food and nutrition security. With the aim of being the partner of choice that builds the resilience of poor communities in the face of natural disasters, climate change, and food and nutrition insecurity, WFP in Ecuador has worked with the national and local governments to foster innovation, improve tools and take proven solutions to scale.
31 January 2013
In coordination with the Government of Ecuador and local governments, WFP promotes food and nutrition security, supporting trainings in nutrition, assistance to vulnerable groups with an emphasis on women, climate change adaptation, and emergency preparedness and response. In a joint effort with the International Food Policy Research Institute, WFP tested the relative costs and benefits of food rations, cash and vouchers as alternative assistance modalities in order to learn which ones are more effective in the Ecuadorian urban and peri-urban context.
24 August 2012
WFP aims to generate evidence-based food and nutrition security models which are cost-effective and environmentally sound. Through a participatory process with local governments, WFP will support local capabilities to implement innovative nutrition packages which improve the dietary diversity and micronutrient status of children, women and vulnerable groups. The project will catalyze small holder participation to leverage public and private markets, in particular local safety-net programmes. Targeted provinces: Carchi, Chimborazo, Cotopaxi, Pichincha, Santa Elena.
24 August 2012
WFP's goal in Ecuador is to be an innovative partner, support government policies and priorities, contribute to food sovereignty, food and nutrition security of vulnerable people, and gender equality. The Strategy for 2012-2016 outlines an approach with national and local governments, communities and all the sectors involved in food and nutrition security. Representatives of 15 government agencies participated in developing the Strategy, in line with the priorities of the Government's National Development Plan and the 2008 Constitution.
24 August 2012
To diffuse tensions between refugees and Ecuadorian communities and promote integration in both urban and rural areas, WFP supports the food and nutrition security of refugees and Ecuadorians, in alignment with government priorities, with a special focus on women. The operation is planned for three years. WFP aims to assist annually 45,015 beneficiaries at a yearly cost of US$ 3.5 million.

A week-and-a-half on tour opening for No Doubt, the lead singer of Nashville-based punk-rock band Paramore had good things to say, descriptions such as "huge" and "mad crazy."With venues in Las Vegas, San Diego, Phoenix and Salt Lake City - a total of seven shows - behind her, Hayley Williams was getting ready to play Albuquerque on May 28, one stop in a three-month show schedule that brings the Grammy-nominated band to Atlanta tonight. "This tour means a lot to our band," said Williams, who performs with guitarist Josh Farro, bass player Jeremy Davis and drummer Zac Farro. "First of all, for music in general right now, it's a big tour. The fact No Doubt came back and they don't have a record to promote and the tour is still selling ..." she trails off and picks up a beat later, "It means a lot to me to see a woman who has sort of taken on the industry. It's motivating." After a four-year hiatus in which lead singer Gwen Stefani launched a solo career, No Doubt reunited in 2008 and is on its first full band tour in five years while recording a new album. Like No Doubt, Paramore have been in the studio working on their third studio album after working out personal issues that threatened to divide the quartet in early 2008. "This record is what kept our band together," Williams said. "I feel really good about it." The band is playing a couple songs off the album in its tour lineup, including "Ignorance," which Williams described as a darker sound than what Paramore are known for, and the contrasting "Where the Lines Overlap," which she called "uplifting and more positive." "I'm happy with the response we're getting on both of those songs," Williams added. "Even people who might not be Paramore fans and are seeing us for the first time seem to enjoy both." Paramore's yet-unnamed album is set to be released in September as the band is coming off its summer tour.

Dusty RhodesCommunity Press guest columnist

The Kasich administration has declared war on Ohio's local governments. The drastic reductions in the Local Government Fund have forced cities, villages and townships across the state to seek additional levies just to provide minimal services.
If the levies don't pass the money runs out and the services stop. Or local taxes have to increase to maintain them.
Cuts of this magnitude in state funding were neither necessary nor equitable. State revenues are up and state spending continues to rise. But they are literally stashing the money in their savings accounts while local governments struggle.
The Local Government Fund was established to replace local revenues the state took over the years and to provide resources for services the state required. Now all bets are off as the current regime works to put local communities right to the wall.
Some of it may be the result of the "metro government crowd" that seems to have Gov. Kasich's ear. Some if it may be the same disdain for our service and safety providers as seen in the effort to enact the ill-fated Senate Bill 5 in 2011.
State legislators backing this attack on localities urge "shared services" ignoring that most have been sharing the services they can for years. Others suggest "hard choices" but their only "hard choice" was to raid local governments funding.
Adding insult to injury the new state budget raises individual property taxes by ending reductions begun with the state income tax and limiting the Homestead Exemption for seniors and the disabled.
It sets up the absurd new reality of one senior property owner getting about a $400 property tax reduction while their neighbor who turned 65 a few years later will not. Good luck explaining the obvious injustice.
It is truly ironic that Gov. Kasich wants the Legislature to expand Medicaid by accepting future federal funding pledges. If local communities cannot depend on the state to keep its promises, how can Ohio depend on the feds to keep theirs?

For anyone still questioning the authenticity of the supposed Britney Spears confessional recording, can we suggest actually listening to the tape? Cause we're thinking your grandma could probably offer up a better Brit-Brit impression.
Or at least not leave so many curious edit-ready gaps in the conversation.
But for those who have actually listened to the 77-second piece of audio—in which Spears allegedly confesses to her onetime hubby of 55 whole hours that her current boyfriend Jason Trawick abuses her—and somehow remain convinced of its validity, here's something else you need to hear…
A couple of on-record denials.
But first, the backstory: Star magazine went wide today with a cover story in which Jason Alexander, Britney's fame-hungry annulled hubby and, they'd like the world to believe, newfound confidante, claimed Spears confessed to him in phone call the week of Oct. 10 that Trawick hit her hard enough to leave a black eye.
A paparazzi shot accompanying the story taken on Oct. 19 could very well show a bruise on Britney's face. But then again, it just as easily could show someone who went a little heavy-handed on the eyeshadow application. Or a Photoshop-happy editor who got overzealous with the shading. Or a bad angle. The list goes on.
Regardless, the entire story seems to hinge around a phone conversation that allegedly transpired last month—and which RadarOnline.com posted a clip of this morning—in which Alexander asked if Spears was engaged to Trawick.
Her purported reply? "Was that before or after he beat on me?"
Star took their claims even further, going on to allege that Britney was pregnant earlier this year, but decided to have an abortion due to the allegedly (fabricatedly?) stormy nature of her relationship.
Needless to say, all sides of Britney's camp have come forward to call BS on the outrageous claims—which, incidentally, had been shopped around to various outlets at exorbitant prices over the past few weeks—with Spears' longtime manager and career-rehabbing Svengali Larry Rudolph nabbing the first right of reply.
"This is 100 percent not true," he told E! News. "The recording is not Britney."
Rudolph said Britney's camp is already planning legal action against the rumormongers, something corroborated by Andrew Wallet, one of Spears' coconservators.
Britney's website followed up, calling every aspect of the Star story "completely and utterly false."
"The statements attributed to Jason Alexander are a complete fabrication as Britney has not had any form of communication with Mr. Alexander in years," the site read. "The audio recording posted on Radaronline this morning purporting to be between Britney Spears and Jason Alexander is so obviously fake as to be laughable.
"Suffice it to say, that Jason Trawick has never laid a hand on Britney. This is just another example of the irresponsible nature of the tabloid media relying on shoddy sources and false information for the sole purpose of selling magazines, without regard to the truth and without regard to who they hurt in the process. These irresponsible statements are defamatory and Britney Spears' legal team will be taking legal action against all of the appropriate parties."
As they should.

It's been an unpredictable year, and if our pundits and policymakers could do it all over again, there are some moments they'd probably love to take back. Unfortunately for them, the Internet never forgets, and the ND20 team has decided to look back over 2010 by counting down the dumbest headlines, decisions, and predictions. There was a lot of dumb to cover, so if you think we missed something, be sure to let us know.
10. One and done: To be a great president, Obama should not seek reelection in 2012 (WaPo)
What's the silliest part of this advice -- the idea that President Obama could achieve more by quitting his job, or the idea that two Fox News analysts have the president's best interests at heart?
9. Heritage Foundation and the "Luck" of the Irish (OurFuture.org)
Conservative economists had a lot riding on their belief that Ireland's austerity measures would save its economy, so it's not surprising that the Heritage Foundation was still touting the Celtic Tiger's strength two years into a deep recession. That doesn't make it any less funny.
8. The Health Care Bill is Dead (Weekly Standard)
The day after Scott Brown's shocking victory in the special election to fill Ted Kennedy's Senate seat, Fred Barnes declared "The health care bill, ObamaCare, is dead with not the slightest prospect of resurrection. [...] Democrats have talked up clever strategies to pass the bill in the Senate despite Brown, but they won't fly." To be fair, many progressives agreed with him.
7. Off-Message Watch: "I Don't Know That for Sure" (Economist's View)
Austan Goolsbee brought a lot of good will with him to the Council of Economic Advisers, but when he turned out to be agnostic about the benefits of a bigger stimulus package, it made us wonder if he was off-message or if the entire administration was.
6. Robert Rubin: 'Virtually Nobody' Saw Crisis Coming, Bush Deserves Much Of The Blame (HuffPo)
Like many of the architects of the financial system that collapsed in 2008, Rubin must not have been paying very close attention if he didn't spot any signs of trouble brewing.
Sign up for weekly ND20 highlights, mind-blowing stats, event alerts, and reading/film/music recs.
5. The war recovery? (WaPo)
We're always open to innovative economic ideas, but David Broder made us wonder if Martians had invaded his body with this column speculating that war with Iran would boost growth and help President Obama in 2012. But then again, Afghanistan and Iraq have done wonders for us.
4. Christine O'Donnell TV Ad: "I'm Not a Witch… I'm You" (CBS)
Even in the year of Aqua Buddhists and chicken barterers, Christine O'Donnell was an unusual Senate candidate. When Bill Maher revealed that she had once dabbled in witchcraft, she was forced to issue a denial that perfectly captured the absurdity of the midterms and earned a place in our political lexicon.
3. President Obama: Drill, Baby, Drill (ABC)
In one of his signature attempts at bipartisan pre-concession, President Obama decided at the end of March to endorse more offshore oil drilling. Three weeks later, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded, creating one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. Perfect timing.
2. The Politics of Foreclosure (WSJ)
When the foreclosure scandal broke, the Wall Street Journal argued that liberals were making too big a fuss about "the pain that results when the anonymous paper pusher who kicks you out of your home is not the anonymous paper pusher who is supposed to kick you out of your home." The editorial stated that the good folks at the Journal were "not aware of a single case so far of a substantive error." We can think of a few.
1. Welcome to the Recovery (NY Times)
Tim Geithner probably didn't mean for the title of his now-infamous op-ed to sound sarcastic, but as Wall Street's profits soared and the middle class continued to sink, it was hard for anyone to take it seriously. At least he didn't mention green shoots.

I was surprised & disappointed when I saw that this treat was changed to 'filets' rather than 'bites' (w/no indication of change shown online). I used to buy this treat particularly because of its shape/size as it forces my dog to chew rather than just inhaling it. I wish the change had been noted and the picture changed to reflect the actual size & shape.

Senate clears debt limit measure for Obama
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas arrives on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2014, as senators go to the chamber for a vote to extend the Treasury's borrowing authority. Setting the vote in motion was one of Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell's Republican colleagues, Cruz, the tea party darling who has caused heartburn for his GOP colleagues in his year in the Senate. Cruz insisted on a 60-vote threshold for the Senate to proceed to legislation to allow the government to borrow money to pay its bills. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
WASHINGTON (AP) — Legislation to raise the federal debt limit and prevent a crippling government default cleared Congress on Wednesday with an awkward assist from top Senate Republican leaders who were forced into a politically treacherous vote engineered by tea party favorite Ted Cruz.
The Texas Republican's maneuver forced several GOP colleagues, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, into a reluctant vote against a Login to read more

The Hollywood heartthrob was eating lunch at Eric's Gourmet, said Sheri Oscarson, an employee at Peak Performance Chiropractic, whose office is across from the eatery.
When asked for a picture, Mr. Pitt politely refused, said Ms. Oscarson.
Staff at Eric's Gourmet confirmed that Mr. Pitt was there, but they didn't know why.
The film, which is being shot in Oakland, is based on a book of the same title that focuses on Mr. Beane's innovative strategy for winning games without big-budget players. Due for release in 2011, the movie will also star big league actors Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jonah Hill.

This came after the Warriors ripped through Phoenix 58-24 last Tuesday night. In a vintage effort, Westhill shut out Phoenix in the first quarter, racing to a 19-0 lead, then added a 20-7 third-quarter push for good measure.
Haggerty, with 16 points, set the Warriors' pace, while Ross earned 13 points. Kayla Stirpe stepped up, earning 11 points, while Christensen picked up eight points and Stephanie Baron earned six points.
Marcellus would also beat Skaneateles 54-25 on Friday, though the game really was decided in the first quarter, when the Mustangs reeled off 24 unanswered points on its way to a 34-4 halftime edge. Tock had 17 points, with Temara getting 11 points and Emily Brisette 10 points.

April 13th, 2012, 23:47 Posted By: wraggsterFollowing on the heels of the FCC and U.S. mobile carriers finally announcing plans to create a national database for stolen phones, a group of iPhone users filed a class action lawsuit against AT&T on Tuesday claiming that it has aided and abetted cell phone thieves by refusing to brick stolen cell phones. AT&T has '[made] millions of dollars in improper profits, by forcing legitimate customers, such as these Plaintiffs, to buy new cell phones, and buy new cell phone plans, while the criminals who stole the phone are able to simply walk into AT&T stories and 're-activate' the devices, using different, cheap, readily-available 'SIM' cards,' states their complaint. AT&T, of course, says the suit is 'meritless

The two chefs were asked to prepare five dishes that exemplify the melting pot of American cuisine. Although the judges' table had plenty of high praise for Mehta — Anya Fernald thought he showed a "glimpse at greatness" — it was ultimately Garces who took home the title, getting high marks for his technical execution.
Despite the fact that Garces won, I'm left feeling a little wary of whether either cheftestant is truly ready to take on Iron Chef challenges. After all, Jeffrey Steingarten declared he wouldn't pay for any of the food Garces offered up in Kitchen Stadium — and Mehta served the judges a barely-cooked pork burger. Did you tune in to watch the season finale? Did the right person win?

Noodle Bar as it exists right now is bursting at the seams. Not just with people waiting for a stool (sorry about the waits, but there's good news ahead for you) but with water, electricity, everything. We need to do 200 fewer covers a day for that place to be operating comfortably. To do that, we need to take out a bunch of seats and control the number of people who eat there, which means taking reservations (or maybe taking reservations: part of the frustration with people blabbing about restaurants that don't exist yet is that the restaurants don't exist yet, so hard and fast policies are not in place.)
We have absolutely no aspiration to make it into a "fine dining" restaurant, but we're shortchanging our baby, our spiritual home, by running it too hard right now. No mas.
At Momofuku Ko, we'll showcase everybody's cooking, to make it work as a collaborative kitchen.
Interesting if I say so myself. Noodle Bar fans need not worry, as it will be relocated in a bigger space one block uptown. David Chang is pretty sweet for putting up a fake "sports bar" menu in the space that will hold the new Noodle Bar.
Of course, Chef Chang doesn't want people talking about this place. I'll leave that up to you guys to decide.

LONDON - Louisiana Tech alumnus Jason Morgan finished 39th in the men's discus competition at the 2012 Olympic Games in London on Monday.
Morgan threw 188-6 (57.46m) as he finished 19th in Group A and 39th overall in the competition for Jamaica. Only the top 12 throwers advance to the medal round.
Although this was Morgan's first appearance in Olympic competition, he is no stranger to the international circuit. He has competed in several World Championship meets across the globe.
A native of Jamaica, Morgan holds the Jamaican national record in the discus but still resides and trains in Ruston. His personal best discus throw was set this year in Natchitoches with a throw of 215-3 (65.61m).
The third and final athlete with Louisiana Tech ties to compete in the Olympics is up on Tuesday as Chelsea Hayes will compete in the women's long jump for the United States.
The event is scheduled to begin at 1:05 p.m. CDT at Olympic Stadium and can be watched live on NBCOlympics.com.
Last Friday, Louisiana Tech alumna Ayanna Alexander finished 14th in the women's triple jump as she competed for her native Trinidad & Tobago. A 2005 graduate of Tech, Alexander currently resides in Virginia.

Pengamen Jakarta Reviews
388 reviews
Indonesian street musicians May 23, 2009
"Pengamen" or street musicians are everywhere in Indonesia.
2 most places they like to perform is restaurant or street food stalls and public transportation (buses).
I like the pengamen in the buses and trains because of their persistence.
Public transportation in Indonesia can't be said as a comfortable place to be, it's cramped, crowded, hot, slow, move too fast and stop to abrupt. Most of the time during the peak hours, we can't get any seats and has to stand. But these guys, can easily jumped into one bus, set up their equipments and start to sing - as nothing else bothers them. Finish the show, they will pass a plastic bag for the passenger to donate some coins, and jump off to catch another bus.
The quality of the singing and their equipment ranges, from a basic one with a piece of wood with lots of flattened bottle caps at the end which they will shake follwing the rythm - up to - a band consist of a drummer (with his drum set) and guitarist/vocalist.
Some of them have nice voices and songs, someother just speaking in tuneless way.
Some have a nice way to entertain the crowd, whereas other will sometimes be too harsh,but since everybody barely listen to what they said so it's ok:).
Some of them not only sing, but also reciting a poem or even a short play.
Some of them are teenagers (well, most of them), small street kids with unwashed hair and clothes, middle aged-man or woman or sometimes, disabled ones.
A great entertainment they are!
Less entertaining is the ones in the restaurant, as they can be very pushy - waiting for you to give them some money during your meal. This is probably why tipping is not a compulsory here - as we have already allocate some money for the Pengamens - not for the waiters!

RBS 6 Nations: Stuart Lancaster backs Ben Morgan
Posted: February 26, 2014|
ENGLAND boss Stuart Lancaster has backed Ben Morgan to make the most of his Six Nations opportunity against champions Wales.
Lancaster assured the Gloucester number eight that he was a "like-for-like replacement" for the injured Billy Vunipola, who has been ruled out of the remaining two matches against Wales and Italy after damaging ankle ligaments in Saturday's 13-10 victory over Ireland at Twickenham.
Morgan has already made a significant impact from the bench and Lancaster believes he will offer the same firepower as the bulldozing Vunipola when he starts against Warren Gatland's men at Twickenham on March 9 (3pm).
"It's a dead set like-for-like replacement. This is a great opportunity for Ben," England's head coach said.
"Billy has shown during the Six Nations that he has fantastic potential. Billy is a big loss because he gave us a lot of go forward.
"But we've seen from Ben's appearances off the bench that he also has the ability to do that.
"I know he's been itching for an opportunity and sometimes they happen for you. It's been created for him and I'm sure he'll ready against Wales.
"Ben went back to Gloucester to improve on his performances after the autumn. He was frustrated with himself.
"But he's worked hard off the field in the gym and is in good shape.
"His appearances off the bench off the back of that have been strong and helped him with his confidence. He's playing with confidence now."
The loss of prop Dan Cole (neck) and now Vunipola in successive matches is a blow to England's Six Nations campaign and Lancaster admits his side have been "unlucky".
But giving players like Morgan and Dave Wilson at tighthead prop the chance to get international game time with the 2015 World Cup beckoning next year is vital for squad depth.
Lancaster added: "Collectively we've been unlucky this season with injuries.
"A lot of key players have picked up injuries that haven't been a couple of weeks, they've been a couple of months.
"That's a challenge but also as we've seen that presents great opportunities.
"To win a World Cup you need a 30-man squad with strength in depth across the board. You want two in every position, if not more.
"Our depth is being tested at the moment but it's a good thing for us in the long run that we get this chance to develop experience in the group."
