European Investment Bounce: But how far?
European investment markets saw a relatively strong end to last year according to our recent research. In fact volumes rose 19% compared to the final quarter of 2011 and were at their strongest since 2007. What's more this was accompanied by a stabilisation in prime yields and a notable uptick in investor confidence. But is this the start of a sustained recovery or just a correction to what in hindsight was an unnecessarily weak position earlier last year? Will we see investment surge forward or slip back in a classic dead cat bounce?
Certainly a lot of investors are talking the talk about moving up the risk curve, even if a lot don't yet know what that means for their strategy – eg riskier countries or riskier segments in safer countries. We're also seeing more stock emerge as banks and others get serious about deleveraging. We've even seen a slight improvement in debt availability, although this may be tested when banks start paying back emergency loans to the ECB.
To date there are some signs that investors are spreading their interest a little further to find prime assets and growth opportunities. In the final quarter for example, the big 3 of France, the UK and Germany remained dominant but did see their market share slip to 59% from 68% in Q3 and while the ultra safe Nordics were a chief beneficiary of this, Central Europe and the peripheral indebted countries of Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain also saw volumes increase – in aggregate to their highest for over a year.
However, while re-pricing is undoubtedly producing some interesting opportunities, in our opinion this is likely to be the start of a slow recovery. In fact, we've really only removed the fear that the world is about to end – there are still very real concerns over the economy and the outlook for income growth and sustainability over the short term. At the very least this means investors will be slow to really let go of their risk aversion and we can expect a few mood swings along the way as economics and the political picture dictate and no doubt as more "last chance" summits are held to resolve the next stage of the euro zone debt crisis.
2013 is therefore set to see a continuation of many of the trends from last year. On one hand the relativity of yields will stoke demand for secure assets and together with a steady improvement in stock availability this could push investment up by something like 5% over the year. On the other hand however, we can also expect a further splintering of the market, with some regions and business sectors performing much better than others. Hence even though some investors question the values now being attached to core property, prime yields in some markets may in fact compress this year and the gap with weaker secondary space will only increase.

What Happened to the Tail?
Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: South River Near Thomas Point
Is this a diseased rockfish tail? I am sort of new to rockfishing, and thusly not caught "tons" of fish to evaluate this
I read up a little on mycobacteriosis... and had heard about diseased fish and inspected all my previous fish for infections externally (Bluefish, croakers, etc...) in years past fishing off the coast of Ocean City.
This fish I caught was about 25 inches and shows no sign of any other problems. Although I did not inspect the entrails very thoroughly but did not see any thing weird. I caught it on the South River near Thomas Point while kayak fishing in 10-20 feet of water using a 1/2 once chartreuse jig with a chartruese gulp. The depth of the lure as about 5-8 feet.
I launched out of the Homeport Kayak Launch in AA County. I paddled about 10 miles that day. A beautiful day on the Chesapeake.
DNR Response: Looks like some wear and tear on the tail of that fish; hard to say what is from, but most likely handling by fishermen. It could have occurred from a large mesh landing net or a pound net.

|ASU Women Top USC-Aiken in Exhibition
|Written by Kelsey Campbell
|Saturday, 02 November 2013 19:46
Maryah Sydnor scored a game-high 24 points as Appalachian State University women's basketball topped USC-Aiken, 73-55, in its lone exhibition contest of the season on Saturday at the Holmes Center. The Mountaineers saw three players score in double figures as Bria Huffman (14) and Katie Mallow (11) also helped lead Appalachian's
After falling behind by as many as eight points (28-20) with just over six minutes to play in the first half, the Apps closed out the first period on a 14-4 run to take a 34-32 lead into the locker room.
Appalachian never trailed again and eventually built a double-digit lead (55-43) when Sydnor drilled a fadeaway three-pointer from six feet beyond the arc as time ran out on the shot clock.
The Pacers were able to cut the lead to eight points (55-47) with a quick 4-0 run, but the Mountaineers staved off the potential comeback and took total control, pushing the lead backk to double digits (57-47) when LaShawna Gatewood made a pair of free throws on the next possession.
The Apps would outscore USC-Aiken 16-8 the rest of the way en route to a convincing 73-55 win in their final tune-up before the regular-season opener at Vanderbilt on Nov. 8.

Sherlock Holmes
The whole swashbuckling yarn is in fact very reminiscent of, and as enjoyable as, the first Pirates Of The Caribbean.
He may be a bit hit and miss, but as a director, Guy Ritchie has a distinct flair behind the camera, and it's put to good use in this rip-roaring adventure. Working for the first time from someone else's script - in this case four screenwriters took on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved detective - Ritchie proves himself more than capable out of his comfort zone.
Sherlock Holmes is completely reworked in the hands of Robert Downey Jr, who makes the in-demand detective a sozzled but sharp-witted egocentric, who exorcises his demons Fight Club-style. Complementing him is the loyal Dr Watson, with a straight-laced Jude Law the perfect sensible foil to Holmes' wild-eyed brainiac.
With Ritchie naturally making Holmes a fiercely physical sleuth, our introduction to this great mind is expertly executed in a craftily-shot fight scene, which leads to to his nemesis - Mark Strong's Dracula-like Lord Blackwood. A convoluted tale of satanic rituals leads to the inevitable Scooby Doo-like conclusion, but this romp is an excuse for a sequence of stunning action sequences, including a nail-biting and sickening near-miss in an abattoir. Things don't get too nasty though, ensuring the 12A rating.
In between, Holmes and Watson bicker, fight and make up, with the chemistry between the leads burning the screen. It's a good job there is a spark between Downey Jr and Law, to make up for the failed female characters. Rachel McAdams has proven herself to be a notable screen presence and a terrific comic actress, but she feels invisible as Holmes' former adversary (and love) Irene Adler, merely reduced to damsel in distress. Watson's long-suffering fiancée Mary is more of a personality, in the hands of a charming Kelly Reilly, but the women serve to enhance the bond between Holmes and Watson, with the scriptwriters wringing as much mischief out of the bromance as possible.
Sarah Greenwood's gorgeous production design is painstakingly detailed and the bleached colours on film - combined with Ritchie's love of grittiness - show a Victorian London more striking than you've ever seen. Good use is made of the Thames, with a half-built Tower Bridge and a shipyard providing yet more memorable scenes. The whole swashbuckling yarn is in fact very reminiscent of, and as enjoyable as, the first Pirates Of The Caribbean, aided by a vibrant score by Hans Zimmer matching the energy onscreen. Ritchie keeps it taut throughout, every scene filled with thrills and gusto, and it all looks stunning. Purists will scoff, but whether you are a fan of the character or not is irrelevant, as this take on Sherlock Holmes is a pure joy.

I am sure many of you read the title and opened it because your wondering what I am talking about. A stagnant life is one that isn't going anywhere. Your stuck. Your not growing, learning, improving, moving or doing anything other than living the same day everyday. Each morning you get up, follow the exact same the routine every single day, and your lacking growth in any way. Although its not a bad thing to have a routine or a schedule it is a bad thing when you find yourself in a position in life where your no longer learning and growing. Life becomes stagnant, mundane, boring and so on. Life is about growth and learning from the moment that we are created till the moment we die and even after death there may be more growth to be had.
So I am telling you to run out and quit your job right? Wrong! What I am telling you is that if you have found yourself in a position in life where you feel like its not going anywhere and has become stagnant that you need to do something to fix it. Emerse yourself in your spirituality and grow and learn that way. Start a new hobby or learn more and perfect an old one. Maybe even talk to your employer about advancement opportunities so that you can learn and grow there as well. And don't forget about your relationships of all types (friends, relative, romantic, co-workers and so on) because there is always work and growth needed there.
However, should you find yourself in a job that is not only not allowing you to grow in it but also sending you backwards or making you feel like your going backwards and it seems to be preventing you from growth in other areas of your life...well, it might be time to start looking for other employment options. There is nothing more frustrating than to be stuck in a stagnant life, wanting to get it moving and growing and being stopped at turn because of your job. Maybe its asking for time off (well in advance, asking the week of doesn't count) and being denied, being called all the time on your time off for assistance, or asking for any change and never seeing it happen.
Living a stagnant life is not a happy life. It's mundane with no progress. You will find yourself unhappy, stressed and maybe even physically ill. Don't let yourself live a stagnant life.

This Victorian end-of-terrace home, which is part of the Forest Gate private finance initiative (PFI) scheme, is situated on Boleyn Road in the London Borough of Newham. Built around 1890-1900 and originally consisting of two separate flats, the property has been de-converted into one house. The occupier has mobility needs and the design of the building reflects this.
The building underwent BREEAM certification to help BRE Global develop the new scheme and also as part of the overall aim of achieving 80% carbon dioxide emission reductions by 2050, in line with the Climate Change Act (2008). The target was a BREEAM Domestic Refurbishment rating of Excellent under the pilot 2010 BREEAM Domestic Refurbishment scheme. The local authority also wanted to prevent the dwelling from falling into fuel poverty by improving thermal insulation and installing low and zero carbon technologies, as Newham has one of the highest incidences of fuel poverty in the UK.
The building's key environmental features include:
The building performed well across most BREEAM categories, gaining the maximum number of credits in the Water, Waste, Management and Ecology categories and scoring highly in Energy, Materials and Health & Wellbeing.
The design aimed to ensure that summer heating and hot water is provided solely by the solar thermal panels. In the winter a micro gas-fired CHP unit provides heating and hot water, as well as generating electricity for lighting and appliances.
A mechanical ventilation heat recovery (MVHR) system is used to ventilate the property.
Green strategy
The construction process was carefully managed to minimise waste. More than 90% of waste was diverted from landfill as a result of the exemplary site waste management plan.
Energy efficient internal and external lighting, as well as the provision of a CHP unit and solar thermal panels, allowed the building to score highly in the Energy category improving from an EPC band G, to an EPC band A post refurbishment. Extensive insulation in the loft, walls and floor contributes to low CO2 emissions, as well as ensuring a high level of thermal comfort.
The specification of water efficient appliances, such as dual-flush WCs and low-flow taps, reduced the internal water use to the benchmark level.
The provision of recycling storage space (including composting) and a home user guide for the occupants enables the building to be operated in an environmentally friendly manner.
'I am impressed by BREEAM Refurbishment's holistic approach, as well as the transparency it brings to the process and the degree of cost certainty that it offers. BREEAM aims to integrate the actions required to achieve the target BREEAM rating into the normal design process, so that they add minimally to the workload and costs.'

Hi,i'm here to ask if someone could tell me how to set ENG for the the voices and ITA for subtitles and descriptions,please?
A guy on thepiratebay posted a link to some files you need to put into your win32 folder to make the pirated version work on XP. It worked for me!!
it includes the files from the kawaiisara fix, and a modified steanm_api.dll, for the pirated version.
it loads but when i hit the single player after some seconds i get exe failure window and the game is not responding in task manager application
I think he screwed it. If you use hex editor you can notice that he changed way too many things. He was supposed to switch all "kernel32.dll" to "zernel32.dll" but he switched every "kernel" to "zernel"
and thats the problem, because inside zernel32.dll are normal Kernel libraries and program wont be able to call them properly (correct me, if I am wrong)
well, his archives are not working for me…
Hope some1 else do a correct version so I can play the game, cuz im not into hex and even if i have what to change?
X GrN1
i have problems to connect at depositfiles link's for XP patch download.
Please,could you re-post the full url? It's look like this url is incomplete…

You bring up several interesting views that got me thinking. I agree on a lot of this content. I feel you have a lot of good insight in this area.

Reply Thumb up 4 Thumb down 1
Anyone having the ""failed to find default engine .ini file to retrieve my documents sybdirectory to use. Force quitting"" problem do this:
– Open the directory where you installed/extracted the files
– Browse to \XComGame\Config
– Copy ALL files in this directory to:
C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\My Games\XCOM – Enemy Unknown\XComGame\Config
– Win
please guys – your discription to the engine.ini problem is really not all too clear.
2 issues:
1.) – Open the directory where you installed/extracted the files
– Browse to \XComGame\Config
—> there are no folders in the directory where i extracted the files so i cannot browse to the folder XComGame\Config and hence cannot copy all files that are contained there to a different location
2.) C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\My Games\XCOM – Enemy Unknown\XComGame\Config
-> I got a german windows version so there is no "My Games" folder in my Documents folder and therefore i cannot create the folder manually – any ideas for the german path where the files, that i couldnt find so far, have to go?
I've tried to make the folder by simply creating new folders in users/my documents directory (in german its called differently though obviously) in both german and english – then i copied all *.ini files I could find in the unpacked xcom folder into the config folder i had created before – still same problem
Hey! thnx fr da crack skid!
i am also having the default engine ini issue. it appears the actual file is missing. it would be greatly appreciated if someone would locate that file and copy and paste its contents here so i can copy another ini file over-write that information and then rename it to DefaultEngine.ini
upon further testing of the defaultengine ini issue.
i was able to copy another ini file and name it to defaultengine ini and delete all the inside garbage
now i get "fail to MyDocumentsSubDirName= key in Defaultengine ini force quitting"
so i manually typed in:
MyDocumentsSubDirName=C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\My Games\XCOM – Enemy Unknown\XComGame\Config
now upon trying to run the game i do not get any error, it just simply doesnt continue.
this says to me that there needs to be more information besides what i typed in.
If anyone is kind enough to copy the text here that would be great. im in a location where only the work computer have internet and my gaming computer can not
Cheers skidrow! Just started it and it seems to work great on windows 8
Bloody HOW!? I try to run it and it just crashes! I launch it, but I don't even get an intro screen, I just straight up "not working"!
Hello guys. I have a major problem and I do not know what to do. I downloaded the game and when I tried to run the crack only it gave this message: "Failed to find default engine.ini file to retrieve My Documents subdirectory to use. Force quitting." I like this game and I will be grateful if someone gives me a solution. Thanks :)
Also I do not know if i need to install steam or not to play the game. If you can tell me that as well it would be fine.
Putlocker down :(

On May 19, 2008, Dean Carolyn Woo and her son Justin Bartkus began a two-week trip traveling through Ethiopia and Kenya with representatives of Catholic Relief Services (CRS). From meeting with heads of state to touring remote villages, the group's mission is to see firsthand how CRS partners with communities and the local Catholic Church to improve food security, water access and health, particularly regarding HIV and AIDS.
CRS representatives include board members Dean Woo, Archbishop Timothy Dolan of Milwaukee and Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville; CRS Foundation board member Art Wigchers; and Sean Callahan, executive vice president of CRS Overseas Operations.
Carolyn writes: The last leg of our Africa trip was the most overwhelming for me.
In Kenya, we got a more detailed grassroots look at the violence that resulted after the election at the end of December 2007. While the trigger was mass reaction to election irregularities, the seething anger was stoked by ethnic divisions tied to unresolved tensions about rights to land. These differences, played up by politicians to create voter support, erupted in ways that took the average Kenyan by surprise. Approximately 1,000 people died while 600,000 (estimates varied) were displaced when neighbors turned on each other along ethnic lines to claim homes, livestock and land. People who have worked, lived and worshipped together all of a sudden looked upon each other with suspicion and, in some cases, with hostility. While the situation has calmed down and the Church is doing extraordinary work in peacebuilding, the underlying factors remain. In addition, there are now new grievances, unclear accountability for those who incited the violence, displaced citizens, an infrastructure for violence in the neighborhoods, and the "trophies" of what violence can gain.
In one of Mombasa's slums, we walked with Emma who works for the local diocese on peacebuilding in this neighborhood. This is home for her and her 9-year old son. Emma is one of the few employed but worries about being mugged on a daily basis. She showed us the effort of a neighbor to build a stone side for his house to replace the straw that currently upholds the dwelling. He puts a few stones on when he has the money. But the stones do not stay as these are taken away almost as soon as he puts them up. Emma tries to be home before sundown. I wondered what a challenge it must have been for her to get home the night the diocese held a celebration for us until 10 pm. There are no lights, no roads (just paths made muddy by rain) and little sense of safety.
In a meeting with Cardinal Njue of the Archdiocese of Nairobi, it was clear to me that the diocese must reach out to business – not for philanthropy but as a partner for development. 60 percent unemployment cannot be solved without engaging the business sector and left alone will breed more violence. My advocacy for Peace through Commerce went from a rather intellectual level to the gut level. Perhaps this is the most important gift for my own education. I don't know where I found the voice to advise the Cardinal but I emphasized to him how the Catholic Church has successfully reached across many boundaries: from relief to economic development and from Christian brothers and sisters to partners of other faiths. The Church must now use its influence and highly sophisticated education of her leaders to convene business in addressing these issues. While business and Church will have different primary focuses, there also is a common ground and common interests. Much depends on our recognizing and forging these common elements.
Finally, in a session at an AIDS clinic, we met with approximately 20 discordant couples, where one spouse is living with HIV and the other is not. Three women spoke about their hopelessness when they found out they were HIV positive. One, in her early or mid-20s, felt like both her marriage and her life would be over. They talked about the care that they received from the clinic and the restoration of their lives and livelihoods. I could not help but imagine for each couple the trauma to their marriage and what it took for the couple to stay together and care for each other. It was a much needed reminder to me that forgiveness, healing and new hope are possible despite our own frailties and limitations.
I need to believe this because it is the only counter-force to violence. When I think pragmatically, I can't help but note how easy it is to resort to violence and the Herculean efforts it takes to create peace. It is in such moments that I turn to God who is not pragmatic and fortunately gives us love and grace beyond what we think is humanly possible.
I am convinced: Divide and we will be conquered.
But with God's grace, we can instead try a little harder to come together, suspending one grievance, one suspicion, one self-interest at a time.
The alternative fills me with dread.
June 1, 2008
Justin writes: I actually am writing this from home in South Bend, but only because we were without Internet access for our last three or four days in Kenya! We did and saw so many things that it would be impossible to describe them all.
Two of our days in Kenya were spent at Mombasa, a hot and humid (and very poor) city in the southeast of the country, on the coast of the Indian Ocean. Here we visited an AIDS clinic, witnessed a support group meeting for married couples living with HIV and ventured into an urban slum. We also spent time in Nairobi visiting with the papal nuncio to Kenya and the local cardinal. I'd like to comment on two of our experiences in particular, as they both left a deep impression on me.
1) While in Mombasa, our CRS delegation had the opportunity to visit the home of a recipient of HIV treatment supplied through the local Catholic Church in partnership with CRS. The woman whom Archbishop Kurtz, Kenya country director Ken MacLean and I met with was named Selena, and she was an incredibly inspiring woman. Her husband had died in 2002 and she has five children. Last year, she received the news that she had tested positive for HIV. She is a tenant in a small mud house with corrugated steel roofing. She pays 400 Kenya shillings a month (about $6.50 – not cheap for her) to rent a mere two rooms of the house. It is hard to imagine how agonizing it is to learn that one has the virus; she knew that her life would never be the same. Yet she faithfully takes her anti-retroviral (ART) drugs and has had the courage to head up a support group for other women living with HIV in the neighborhood – not an easy task considering how people with HIV, especially women, are often stigmatized and belittled in this culture. Selena also is an active participant in a local savings and internal lending community (SILC), which helps empower disenfranchised women to assert economic independence. She was not only courageous, but also very funny, pleasant and good-willed. You could tell that she had a huge heart, and even though her life must have flashed before her eyes when she learned of her HIV status, she has remained strong (and her youngest son is really cute! see the picture!) To see someone who lives life with such fullness in spite of such difficult circumstances illustrates what true hope looks like – and how it translates to action.
2) Another of our stops in Mombasa was the office of the CICC – the Coastal Interfaith Council of Clerics. In response to the political violence in Kenya, which in some cases manifested itself in religious bigotry and acts of terror, a group of local Muslim, Catholic, Protestant and Hindu religious leaders banned together to research the roots of these conflicts and to preach messages of peace to their congregations. Undoubtedly, many of these men met resistance from their flock; in such times of upheaval, cooperation and solidarity are often trampled by division and vengeance. In the Mombasa region, the work of the CICC was certainly felt in dissolving the religious tensions which followed the controversial elections. The ironic thing was that the conflicts between Muslims and Christians on the coast were really not about religion at all. When resources are scarce and land is contested, opposing groups will latch onto religious differences as a justification for prejudice and violence toward each other, even though this is not the real problem.
We heard one story about how Catholic Archbishop Lele of Mombasa stood in front of the doors of a mosque which was about to be burned by a mob of angry young Christians. He told them that in order to burn the mosque, they'd have to kill him first. At that, the mob laid their torches down. What tremendous courage.
I also was impressed by the fact that the clerics of the CICC admitted that there did exist tension among them several months ago when they first met, and to an extent, there still does. Fortunately, theological differences did not prevail over the urgent need for collaboration in resisting the post-election religious violence. I thought it tremendously wise that they have postponed theological debate, so as not to let those differences get in the way of the work they have to do. The CICC is a shining example of leaders of various religions coming together in effective collaboration without reducing their respective faiths to a watered down, "least common denominator" belief system.
May 26, 2008 – Nairobi, Kenya
Justin writes: After having been under the weather for the last couple of days, I mustered up the energy to fly out with my mom and Archbishop Kurtz to our journey's next stop: Kenya. At present we are staying in Nairobi, although tomorrow we will depart by plane for Mombasa. We are sleeping tonight at the serene and very peaceful guest house of the Mary Knoll fathers, two of which are avid Notre Dame football fans – another reminder that the world is indeed very small.
During the day today, we were briefed by the CRS staff stationed in Kenya. If you'll recall, there were several months of very frightening ethnic violence after the Kenyan elections of last December. Over 1,000 Kenyans were killed and more then half a million internally displaced by the conflicts. The situation in Kenya was set aflame in January and February of this year after the election of the new ruling administration was perceived by many to be doctored. CRS was among the first international NGOs to arrive on the scene, and worked with both the Kenyan Catholic Church and the government of Kenya in helping to spearhead the post-violence peace-building effort.
These events were by and large a shock to the international community, and it seems that even those who are knowledgeable about Kenyan politics failed to foresee such a drastic escalation. Kenya has long been considered to be one of the most stable and most prosperous nations on the continent. Fortunately, one of our drivers (I've named him Peter the Less, as opposed to our other driver, Peter the Greater) tells me that things have settled down and are back to normal. Even still, Kenya has no single ruling administration, but patched together a coalition government as a temporary response to the conflicts.
Nairobi itself seems to be quite a bustling place, and one can sense a greater western presence here than in Addis Ababa, which had never been colonized by any European power. The signage reads exclusively in English and many Western companies have invested here.
Over the next few days, we'll explore the several operations which CRS is diligently and effectively carrying out in Kenya. We'll check out the tremendously effective HIV/AIDS treatment and education programs in Kenya as well as visit schools and attend peace-building discussions. For a country emerging from such a frightening period of violence and where half of its citizens live below the poverty line, these CRS programs offer Kenyans a new start. The work of CRS is both impressive and exemplary, because the organization's goal is ultimately to hand over the responsibility for maintaining these health care programs and schools to the Kenyan people themselves, so that they will be empowered to create their own promising futures.
On a concluding note, I would like to say that today I saw a giraffe in its natural habitat for the first time in my life. Not that I dislike our beloved Notre Dame squirrels, but a few giraffes would really liven up the ND eco-experience!
Carolyn writes: Roses, Bees, Sheep and Ox
Roses: I love roses and am often delighted how I can pick up a couple of dozens of roses for less than $20 at the Big Box Retailers. In the country side of Ethiopia, I saw the endless stretches of rose farms, financed by European growers and given tax breaks by the Ethiopian government. Our local guides are upset about these farms as these drain the river and use pesticides which have caused cancer to the workers. Ethiopia has attracted such investments as Kenya imposed stricter regulations. Come to think of it, I don't need low-priced roses after all.
Bees: Bees are indigenous to Ethiopia but the traditional method sets a drum 20 feet up in the tree. The yield and quality are not optimal. CRS worked with individual communities to identify the poorest of the poor. It would provide these individuals with the type of bee hives we commonly see (boxes with horizontal shelves set about 3 -4 feet off the ground) and training. Compared to the traditional hives, the new setup generates a quality of honey that fetches price per unit at a multiple of 2.5 times the original and quantity three times the original. The farmer with the hives shared with us from his tubs of honey a spoonful of raw sugar. It is the custom that the community all eat from the same spoons.
Sheep and Ox
CRS pioneered livelihood fairs where the poorest farmers are provided coupons to buy seed or livestock to re-generate their living. The setup is designed to prevent the misuse of resources and the development of black markets. That would take another entry to explain. A farmer left with one ox used his coupon to buy three sheep. Within a year, he had 12 sheep. He traded 4 sheep for a cart and an ox. He needs 2 oxen to plow the field. He used another 4 sheep to buy a donkey. He now has a cell phone to call relatives. His life changed. Each sheep is worth around $40 (a princely sum for an economy with average income of $150). Another farmer traded 9 sheep for 20 sheets of tin with which he built his home.
Yet famine remains in certain areas where the rains did not come. About 4 million individuals are affected in a pocket to which sustainable interventions (of the kind we have been describing) have not been made and people, livestock, crops remain completely dependent on rain. It will be another 5 months before the problem can be alleviated IF the next round of rain comes. On this Feast of Corpus Christi, around the breakfast table at Bishop Abraham's guest house, we heard reports and looked at wrenching pictures of starvation. My breakfast of coffee and bun with marmalade is an unimaginable feast to so many.
Carolyn writes: I went to the Missionaries of Charity (MOC), the order founded by Mother Teresa. The sisters all wore the white saris with blue trim and smiles that just didn't quit. The facility serves about 1,200 adults and children in residence. They are all very ill with deformities and illnesses which make them outcasts of society. Quite a number are near death. Another nearby facility houses 450 HIV positive orphans. When we arrived, I saw a small sculpture of Mother Teresa and then scores of boys and girls dressed in their festive best (white dresses and colorful saris). They sang and danced for mass that was joy unlimited!!! They looked happy and "jolly." The sisters and volunteers came from all over the world: Philippines, Italy, Denmark, India, a Jewish doctor from Brooklyn, England, Ireland, Spain, etc.It was heartbreaking to see the adults but the children just made me laugh. They performed tricks for us which they learned in lessons given by children from a circus who had sought assistance from the sisters. The kids were good. The little ones love to be held and they are BEAUTIFUL children. We went into the "newborn" wing (about 1-3 months). These are babies who have been abandoned: dropped in garbage bins, etc. They are like dolls. There are 350 adoptions per year.The sisters are simply wonderful. Sister Benedicta, a German sister who is also an MD and a joyful soul, runs the place. Later in the afternoon, at a big ceremony to honor the 50th anniversary of CRS in Ethiopia, she spoke in the way that I imagined Mother Teresa would have spoken. She talked about how each person is God in disguise; that we will all end up in the same place and God will ask us whether we turned HIM down when we ignored our brothers and sisters in suffering. She quoted Mother Teresa, " We can't do what you do, you can't do what we do; but together we can bring about something beautiful." It was poignant because by this time next year, due to a projected reduction in USAID allocations, high food prices and low dollar value, Missionaries of Charity food rations would be cut to half. The gathering included the U.S. Ambassador, the director of U.S. AID in Ethiopia, and other dignitaries. We were all choked up. It was a moment when we all recognize what is at stake: the wellbeing of those we just visited and our own humanity. It was a wonderful moment—there was no question that the Holy Spirit was with Sr. Benedicta.
At the ceremony, a painting was unveiled depicting CRS' work in Ethiopia. It included a sister of the Missionaries of Charity, a handshake in acknowledgment of work made possible only because of our local partners, a scale and a dove: justice and peace.
Now for those who are really into sustainability practice: ECO-SANITATION. Disposal of waste is a MAJOR problem and the source of much illness and death in developing countries. The existing solution, which collects all waste into a central location is NOT sustainable and has horrible collateral effects. (Actually, the centralization of waste follows the approach we use in the west). How does one talk about this without grossing everyone out!!Needless to say, a new solution is needed. CRS pioneered a simple, sustainable solution. It is a new paradigm: decentralized approach. Each household digs a hole (about 1 meter in diameter, and 2 meters deep). On top of hole, a family would place a concrete slab (1 meter x 1 meter). The concrete slab can be made with $5.00 and takes one hour. Privacy is provided by a fence of branches, rocks or whatever materials are available. At the end of each use, ash (from cooking) is poured into the hole – it is highly absorptive; creates good compost, and dispels the smell. At the end of 6 months, the family would move the fence and concrete slab to another location and plant a fruit tree in the hole. This innovation, by CRS, is featured in a a BBC documentary. 24,000 holes have been dug in the last 2 years!!!As it always happen on these trips, whenever I see the bags of grains marked "USA," I am deeply moved. I am so glad that we send these grains – they are the only bridge between starvation and a chance at another day for so many people.
Carolyn writes: Hello from Addis Ababa. It's our third day in Addis and the first quiet moment to sit down and share a few experiences. By way of background, Ethiopia's GDP is about $6 billion. 85% of the population are engaged in agriculture. Of these, less than 15% and 8% have access to water and sanitation respectively. In the rural areas, the work of fetching water falls to girls and women, often taking 4-5 hours a day just for this task. They can carry up to 45 pounds of water on their shoulders and heads. As a result, many girls do not go to school.When visiting Archbishop of Addis, we passed by an adjoining school. Girls in the 11th grade were having recess and playing sports. I chatted with 4 of them. They spoke perfect English and all told me they wanted to go to college. Of the four, three want business and one sees journalism in her future. This is in a land where the probability of girls finishing 6th grade is less than the probability of girls dying in childbirth. The school is split into am and pm sessions and serve 5,000 students! Viva Catholic Schools!!In an outlying village, we saw the marvels of irrigation: CRS assisted in developing an irrigation system for growing vegetables. A farmer now can get more revenues from 1/8 hectacres than what he used to get for 2.25 hectacres. Dear business professors: please calculate the multiple!!!! I worry about the impact of such sudden wealth!The technology used is very simple but there are significant government, social and market innovations. (A) In Ethiopia, the land is owned by the government. In this case, negotiations led to the deeding of the land to the association of 40 families which will farm this land. (B) The farmers will grow what is out of season (thus earning a premium) because it is no longer dependent on rain. (C) The farmers now have cell phones so that they can check prices and go for the highest bidder, (D) the profits will go to the association and not to individual families; and the most incredible, (E) half of the proceeds will go to a fund for adolescent girls – the money is theirs to manage!!! This is empowerment with teeth!!!Improving life for women requires multi-faceted actions. It's more than not having to carry water so that a girl can go to school. It's not just giving her a fund to learn how to manage money or have some independence. Another action is the re-training of older women in the village whose source of income in the village is genital mutilation – a practice which is really performed by older women on younger women because of both tradition and livelihood.
Justin writes: Today's activities were tremendous, exhausting and incredibly moving all at once. We spent the day in and around the town of Meki, about two hours from Addis Ababa. Meki and the surrounding areas are part of the Rift Valley, which is where "Lucy," the oldest hominid every discovered, was unearthed. The Valley is called the "cradle of humanity," as the emergence of the human species is generally believed to have occurred there.
We rumbled across miles and miles of bumpy, unnamed, dirt roads to see the fruits of CRS projects, including internal lending communities, newly installed irrigation systems and schools.
Most touching of all, however, was our stop at the village of Koye Jejaba, an area suffering severely from water shortages. In this village, women (and women only) are made to walk ten kilometers back and forth to fetch water for their families – water, I might add, that is muddy and contaminated by disease-laden human waste. CRS and its partners just recently placed the finishing touches on a brand new water supply system for the village, and today, the new system was inaugurated. Archbishops Dolan and Kurtz, along with Bishop Abraham Desta of Meki, had the honor of being the first to release water from the spigots, a phenomenon which very few members of the community had ever witnessed.
The celebration which went up from the villagers was joyous; rhythmic clapping of hands by the men and hooting and hollering by the women. As two elderly women watched their livestock drink clean water for perhaps the first time ever, they raised their arms to heaven, thanking God in their native tongue for the precious gift which they had received.
The elders of the community sang to us a song of blessing, recounting the untold suffering of previous years, expressing gratitude to us for CRS' work, and reminding us that "water is life." No more water-related disease; no more ten kilometer hikes; no more decimated livestock. I feel blessed to have witnessed such a concrete instance of Christian love truly bridging the gap between cultures and peoples.
One of the classic moments of this ceremony was when the elders informed us that they had slaughtered a bull in our honor, and that we were all invited to partake of it with them. I have to admit that the offer did not strike me as appetizing (the natives weren't upset, because it meant more for them!). Instead we settled for some orange soda, Pepsi and teff injera, a large thin and spongy pancake set out with dollops of grilled meat stew. The fare was a touch too spicy for our inexperienced and uncultured American palates. Even still, our meeting with the villagers was very cordial, and it was an experience that I will keep with me for a very long time.
Justin writes: Greetings from Ethiopia! Our Catholic Relief Services (CRS) delegation arrived last evening at around 7:30. Upon arrival we were met with several surprises. First was the realization that the Ethiopian calendar is seven years behind our Gregorian calendar. Millennium banners and Christmas light-like decorations adorned the city streets as our CRS van delivered us from the airport to our hotel. Apparently the folks here celebrated the turning of the millennium just last September. I should also add that all the people whom we've encountered here have been very kind and hospitable.
The second unexpected surprise regarding our arrival was much more ominous. At around 8:45 local time, a car bomb was detonated within a block or two of our hotel. Our driver had a tough time reaching our hotel, as many of the roads leading there had been cordoned off by police due to the explosion. We only learned about the blast as we were checking into our hotel. I'm glad that we only found at that point, otherwise our ride to would have been much more intense! Initial reports stated that only a few had been injured and no one killed, but we've now been informed that three people died. Such incidents, we are told, are extremely rare in this country, and the government quickly processed and handled the situation. Nevertheless, this incident is a sobering reminder of the tense conditions which subsist in the Horn of Africa.
I should say that we do feel secure here, and that the CRS staff has done an extraordinary job in welcoming us here and getting us settled. It's already clear that they are both incredibly knowledgeable and tremendously skilled. From the experiences of our first evening here and the discussions we've had with country manager David Orth-Moore and executive vice president of overseas operations Sean Callahan, it is plain to see that the political situation here in Ethiopia is complex, and that the crises of poverty, food shortage and health which plague the nation are not simple problems to solve. Despite these realities, CRS is undaunted in the persistence with which it engages multiple channels for change: politics, both national and international, the Catholic Church, and the people of Ethiopia themselves, whom CRS empowers to break the cycle of suffering.
Here in Addis, we are nearly 8000 feet above sea level, which contributes to very pleasant temperatures in the 60s and 70s. Addis is really the only major city in Ethiopia, with a population of around five million. It's located in central Ethiopia, a country which is historically Christian, but is now witnessing the rise of Islam in social, economic and political circles. The poverty figures of Ethiopia are staggering: during "normal" times, the number of Ethiopians suffering malnutrition ranges from five to eight million. Ethiopia has just now passed through a failed rainy season, and with the international food crisis acutely affecting the country, the proportion of citizens suffering malnutrition is more than ten percent. These circumstances make the work of CRS that much more important to the livelihood of the Ethiopian people.
Today we visited several Ethiopian VIPs, including the President of this country (who, by the way, is an avid fan of Thomas Jefferson). Later my mom will provide her own thoughts about the day's events. Tomorrow we go into the field to CRS project sites, which will assuredly be an eye-opening experience.

A stunning portrayal of a revolutionary poet of the people...
Salida Productions and the Mercury Theatre present
Mayakovsky: The Slanting Rain
Written by Andrew Rattenbury
Directed by Michael Vale
Performed by Ed Hughes
Ferguson Room, Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon
Tuesday 15 - Saturday 19 January 2013, various performance times (see below)
Tickets: Tickets: £10, £8 RSC members, £5 16-25 years
Box Office: 0844 800 1110
'Andrew Rattenbury has constructed an intensely concentrated short play for just one actor. The audience is not there to merely absorb the story - it is required to reflect the convictions and bitterness of what is before it.'
Salida Productions and the Mercury Theatre present their critically acclaimed drama based on the life of Vladimir Mayakovsky, poet, political artist, playwright and leading figure in the Russian Futurist Movement. Mayakovsky: The Slanting Rain plays in the Ferguson Room at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre between Tuesday 15 and Saturday 19 January 2013.
Born a forester's son in Tsarist Russia, Mayakovsky became a leading figure in the Bolshevik led revolution and an opponent of the bureaucracy until his suicide in 1930.
Eccentric, unpredictable, with a keen sense of the ridiculous, Mayakovsky was a master showman performing in factories and halls across Russia, commanding audiences of thousands in an epoch of wars and revolutions.
Ed Hughes gives a stunning performance as Vladimir Mayakovsky in this one man play, capturing his intense energy and passionate polemic, and shedding new light on one of the most influential figures in Soviet political and literary circles. Ed is currently performing in the acclaimed This House by James Graham at the National Theatre, in a production which will be transferring into the Olivier Theatre in 2013. Ed's other credits include the RSC's The Canterbury Tales.
Mayakovsky: The Slanting Rain runs alongside Michael Boyd's RSC production of Boris Godunov. Based on the play by the great Russian writer, Alexander Pushkin, this new adaptation by Adrian Mitchell runs in repertoire in the Swan Theatre until 30 March 2013.
Tickets can be booked by calling the RSC Box Office on 0844 800 1110 or visiting www.rsc.org.uk.
For further information and press tickets contact Dean Asker on 01789 412660 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

These awards provide support to research institutions so that scientific investigators can receive didactic training in the fundamentals of clinical research. The didactic program will focus on multidisciplinary training in biostatistics, epidemiology, research project design, research ethics, legal and regulatory issues in human subject research, and other subjects.
The participants have a variety of clinical degrees and are now performing work
supported by NIH training grants, other Federal awards, and/or non-Federal funds.
"NIH received so many high-quality applications for K30 awards," NIH Director Harold Varmus, M.D., explained, "that we funded 35 applications instead of our original goal of 20 awardees. It is very encouraging that there is so much enthusiasm for enhancing the quality and quantity of clinical research at a time when there are many scientific advances ready to be tested in the clinical arena."
All NIH components have contributed to the K30 program which will be administered by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. (See list of awardee institutions at end.)
In addition to K30 awards, NIH has two other new initiatives for clinical research training: the mentored patient-oriented research development award (K23), and the mid-career investigator in patient-oriented research award (K24).

As of Monday, April 22, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
BOSTON — Authorities are investigating whether the Boston Marathon bombing suspect who died after a shootout with police had any connection to an unsolved triple homicide in suburban Boston in 2011, a spokeswoman for prosecutors said on Monday.
The 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, identified by the FBI as one of two brothers suspected in last Monday's blasts, was a close friend of one of three men who were stabbed in the neck in an apartment in Waltham, Massachusetts in September, 2011.
At the time, the Middlesex County District Attorney's office said it appeared that the victims knew their assailant or assailants and that the attacks were not random.
Tsarnaev's potential connection to the case surfaced after the website Buzzfeed.com reported that some of his former associates suspect he may have been involved in the murder.
"We are definitely going to pursue any new leads," said Stephanie Guyotte, a spokeswoman for the Middlesex District Attorney's office. She said it was fair to say that investigators will check to see if Tsarnaev had anything to do with the crime.
Authorities said the 2011 triple homicide happened at the apartment of Brendan Mess, one of the victims. Tsarnaev and Mess worked out together at a gym and Tsarnaev once introduced Mess to the gym owner as his best friend, according to the Boston Globe newspaper.
Middlesex County in Massachusetts also includes Cambridge, where Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his younger brother Dzhokhar are suspected of killing a Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus policeman on Thursday night before a gun battle with police in Watertown, also part of the county.
It does not include Boston, where investigators believe the brothers carried out last Monday's bombing at the Boston Marathon finish line, killing three people and injuring more than 170. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, lay in a Boston hospital under armed guard on Monday following his capture by police in Watertown on Friday night. He was unable to speak because of throat injuries sustained during shoot-outs with police.

text: The bishops of America's Catholic Church, including Seattle Archbishop J. Peter Sartain, suffered a stinging defeat in 2012 when Washington, Maine and Maryland voted to legalize same-sex marriage. The tide of marriage equality has since become a tusnami. Gay marriage has become legal in Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Hawaii. The bishops filed a Supreme Court brief defending the anti-gay Defense of Marriage Act. The high court threw out a key provision of DOMA, and cleared the way for resumption of same-sex marriage in California. We've been "outmarketed", complained New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan. They've also lost hold over the flock.
