It looks like we soon may be able to chalk up another win for the power of the canine nose. In a recent UK National Health Service (NHS) preliminary study, trained dogs were able to sniff out prostate cancer 9 out of 10 times, making them a more accurate predictor than the standard (but controversial) Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) screening test, which has a high "false positive" rate.

Hyundai To Launch Avante Hybrid in 2009
Hyundai has announced that it will launch its first mass-produced hybrid, based on the home-market Avante, in the second half of 2009. A hybrid version of the midsize Sonata sedan is due in 2010.
Hyundai's sister brand, Kia, also is preparing new hybrid models, including gas/electric variants of the new Mohave utility vehicle (to be sold in the U.S. as the Borrego) and the Lotze (Optima) sedan, by 2010.
The hybrid Avante (sold in most overseas markets as the Elantra) is designed to run on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which should help reduce exhaust emissions. The hybrid Sonata, however, is expected to use standard gasoline.
Hyundai previously has built several thousand hybrid prototypes, primarily for testing in government fleets, including versions of the Verna (Accent) and Click (Getz) compacts.
The automaker said it hopes to begin mass production of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles by 2012.

Problem-Solving Justice
Thousands of problem-solving courts are testing new approaches to difficult cases where social, human and legal problems intersect. In recent years, many in the field have sought to "go to scale" with problem-solving justice, testing key problem-solving principles outside of the specialized court context. The Bureau of Justice Assistance of the U.S. Department of Justice funded ten demonstration projects around the U.S. in support of this effort.

Does Hearing Christmas Music Make Us Spend More?
Chances are, if you've strolled through Broadway Square Mall lately, you've heard Christmas music piping through the speakers as you shop.
Maybe you've thought nothing of it. Tis the season after all, and we expect to hear the Christmas music in our favorite stores. In fact, not hearing it would be an odd thing.
Some say hearing the Christmas songs can make us spend more money in that store. No way! But when we add up our receipts from the shopping season and realize how much we've spent, it would be kinda nice to blame our lack of control on something.

|Bruins aren't only team coming off a big win as Blackhawks come to town
|03.29.11 at 4:04 am ET
This time of year, some teams are already eliminated or close to it, and getting two points on a particular night is no longer a top priority. That's why the Bruins' recent schedule has made for some very interesting hockey. The B's last six games have been against teams either in the playoffs or competing for a spot. Tuesday should feature another very intriguing matchup, as both the B's and Blackhawks are coming off big victories that teams try to build momentum off of, especially given that the playoffs are just a couple of weeks away.
The Blackhawks are coming off an overtime win against Detroit Monday night in which former Red Wing Marian Hossa buried the game-winner on the power play. Chicago is eighth in the Western Conference, so they have every reason to bring everything they can Tuesday.
The Bruins, of course, are coming off a 2-1 victory in Philadelphia that saw both the appearance of a successful power play (2-for-3) and the return of Brad Marchand's scoring, as he picked up the game-winner for his 20th goal of the season and first strike in 13 games.
– The Bruins are 18-12-5 at TD Garden this season, and it's been a mixed bag for the B's at home of late. After a huge 7-0 win over the Canadiens Thursday, the B's struggled to get shots past Rangers bodies and on netminder Henrik Lundqvist Saturday.
– Chicago has won its last two road games after dropping the previous four. The Blackhawks haven't been to the Garden since last season, when they took a 5-2 victory on Jan. 7.
If there's one thing the Blackhawks are capable of, it is taking an opponent to overtime while playing on the road. The Blackhawks have gone into overtime 10 times on the road this season and have a league-high eight overtime/shootout losses on the road. Their overall record on the road is 18-11-8.
– The third line of Chris Kelly between Tyler Seguin and Rich Peverley has looked good, but it has not produced. Seguin has just one goal in his last 14 games (dating back to before the line was in existence), while both Kelly and Peverley have totaled zero points and each have a minus-3 rating over their last five contests.
– The Blackhawks' 3.13 goals per game on the road is second only to the Red Wings for tops in the NHL. The Red Wings certainly helped that number when they put six goals past Bruins goaltenders at TD Garden back on February 11, to the B's will have to hope the Blackhawks don't do the same.
– Tim Thomas has a bit more breathing room for the league lead in goals against average and save percentage. Thomas has led both categories since the second game of the season, but came one hundredth of a goal from being tied with Pekka Rinne after last Saturday's loss to the Maple Leafs. After allowing just one goal over his last two starts, Thomas is now a tenth of a goal ahead of Rinne with a 2.00 GAA.
– Milan Lucic has zero shots on goal over the last two games, while his center in David Krejci has totaled one over the same span. Despite leading the Bruins with 30 goals, Lucic is fourth on the B's in shots on goal with 160. He's far enough behind the likes of Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron and Nathan Horton that his three games missed don't seem to play a huge factor in the statistic.
– Will Michael Ryder be a healthy scratch in consecutive games for the first time all season? Ryder watched Sunday's game from the press box while Daniel Paille got in the lineup for the Bruins. If Ryder does return, it will likely be on Gregory Campbell's line.
-The Blackhawks know they need to keep the pedal to the medal after their win against Detroit. After Tuesday, the eighth-place Blackhawks will have played two more games than the Stars, who trail them by four points. This should mean the Bruins could see a very hungry team.
Not exactly a storyline related to this game, but if you have the NHL Center Ice package, it might be worth it to check out the Penguins-Flyers game during commercials. Despite a rut in February, the Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin-less Penguins have been able to get the job done so well that a victory in regulation would give them as many points as the Flyers at 100. If the Penguins hope to take the division they'll have to finish with more points than Philadelphia, as the Flyers hold the tiebreaker with less overtime/shootout wins.
|Shawn Thornton: Let up on the letdown theory
|03.26.11 at 4:57 pm ET
One look at the line score from Saturday's snoozefest at the Garden would suggest the Bruins went through a pretty typical letdown game in a 1-0 loss to the Rangers, less than 48 hours after lighting up the Canadiens, 7-zip.
Not so fast, says Shawn Thornton.
"No, I wouldn't put too much into it," Thornton said. "I wouldn't look too much into Thursday's game and then tonight's. This one could have went either way, it wasn't like we laid an egg tonight. I thought for the most part we worked hard. I don't look at shots too much, but anytime you outshoot a team 12-1 in the third period, you'd think that maybe you'd get rewarded with one. But they did a good job blocking shots, they did a good job of cleaning stuff out in front of the net. [Henrik Lundqvist] did a good job stopping the puck."
Thornton makes a good point. The Bruins, who were outshot 9-0 to open the second, were hellbent on putting on a late rush on Lundqvist but to no avail.
Claude Julien agreed with Thornton's assessment. A letdown explanation would be pretty lame.
"I think that would be a weak excuse," Julien said. "We're certainly not going to use that as an excuse. This is the time our year where you got to make sure that you're able to push those games aside. There's a lot of emotional games coming up in the future here, in the near future, and we've got to be able to respond night after night.
"It was more our team maybe not as good as the other team tonight as far as the will to win those battles early on and being heavy on the stick," Julien said. "It's unfortunate that the only goal that was scored may be a little bit of a controversial goal, but we had lots of opportunities to make up for it."
It was also unfortunate Tuukka Rask allowed just one controversial goal and it ended up costing the Bruins.
"It's disappointing to lose, obviously," Rask said. "But I thought we put up a pretty good effort. Maybe it wasn't a solid sixty-minute game, but we definitely came out hard in the third and got our chances, battled hard. A 1-0 loss is always tough to take when you don't score a goal after you score seven. But it's just a game and we just have to battle back [Sunday vs. Philadelphia]."
"Obviously, it sucks," captain Zdeno Chara said. "We didn't score a goal and we didn't play our best.
Speaking of the Flyers, the fourth and final rematch of last year's epic Eastern Conference semis is on the docket Sunday in Philly.
"That's often a good thing," Julien said. "We don't have time to dwell on this one here. You got to turn the page. You win the big game tomorrow in Philadelphia, and you've had a pretty tough week against some pretty good hockey clubs. If you can come out of the there 3-1, with the week, it's been a pretty good week. So that's what we've got to focus on. Let's turn the page on this one here and hopefully be a better team [Sunday]."
|Ray Bourque on M&M: Bruins 'shouldn't lose' to Canadiens in potential playoff series
|03.25.11 at 12:45 pm ET
Bruins legend Ray Bourque appeared on the Mut & Merloni show Friday to talk about the NHL's crackdown on hits to the head, rookie Tyler Seguin and what to expect from the Bruins in the playoffs. To hear the interview, visit the Mut & Merloni audio on demand page.
Bourque said that not only are hits to the head more noticeable now because of the NHL's crackdown, but also because it seems like there are just more of them. 'I think some of the stuff has changed,' Bourque said. 'You might've seen certain hits that were similar in our day, but it seems like there were less head shots.
'Just flagrant elbows to the head, you're seeing a lot more it seems like, like [Matt] Cooke a few times that he's done,' Bourque continued. 'I don't think you used to see that as much. I'm not sure why you're seeing more of that now, if it's lack of respect for each other out there or what. I'm happy that they're really trying to cut it down.'
Bourque also discussed Mark Recchi's comments about the Canadiens embellishing the severity of Max Pacioretty's concussion after Zdeno Chara's hit on him. Bourque said that sometimes it's necessary for a veteran leader to step up and take some pressure of a teammate.
'That was a nice veteran move and great leadership in terms of taking a little of the pressure off and moving it on him and bringing some things up for question that were being talked about,' he said.
The guys asked Bourque about Seguin and some of the challenges he's facing as a rookie, particularly when it comes to the physical play in the NHL. 'Well, I think that's a big part of it, the physical part of the game,' Bourque said. 'But also, he's such a young guy. You'll look at this kid three years from now, in terms of maturity mentally and physically, he's going to be in a different place. That's what he has to gain and he has to grow.
'And he's in a different situation than Taylor Hall,' Bourque added. 'Taylor Hall, [the Oilers] can play him all they want. He can make mistakes and they can keep throwing him out there. That's not the case with the Bruins. The Bruins are going for something here. Every shift is an important one for them.'
Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk made an appearance on the Mut & Merloni show Friday. To hear the interview, go to the Mut & Merloni audio on demand page.
Boychuk scored 61 seconds into Thursday night's game vs. the Canadiens, starting off the Bruins on a 7-0 rout.
There was a lot of hype leading up to Thursday's game, but Boychuk said the team was able to focus on hockey. "We just wanted to put all the distractions away and worry about what we have to do on the ice, and we did that last night," he said.
Asked if he was surprised a Canadien such as Ryan White didn't make a run at Zdeno Chara in retaliation for the defenseman's hit on Max Pacioretty earlier this month, Boychuk said White showed understandable restraint.
"I don't think for him it would be the smartest decision to go after Zdeno, especially when [the 6-foot White] is 6, 7, 8 inches shorter and Zdeno is just a monster. That wouldn't have been the best decision if he would have made that one."
Based on his play of late, Chara hasn't let the situation be a distraction for him. "After what happened, for him to block everything out and play the way he has been, that's the way you want our captain to respond," Boychuk said. "He's doing a great job on the ice and off the ice as well."
Boychuk said if the Canadiens did decide to mix it up, the Bruins were ready. "If they wanted to, we've got a lot of guys that could stick up for our teammates," Boychuk said. "We weren't too worried about that, because we have a great group of guys that can back up anything we say or do."
|Andy Brickley on D&C: Thursday's game more helpful to Bruins than damaging to Canadiens
|at 10:00 am ET
NESN analyst Andy Brickley appeared on the Dennis & Callahan show Friday morning to talk about the Bruins' 7-0 thrashing of the Canadiens on Thursday night. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
The hosts suggested that the game was only a Shawn Thornton fight short of perfection.
'I'm not sure that Shawn would ever have a dancing partner on that team,' Brickley said. 'I know that Ryan White did a pretty good job on Johnny Boychuk when we were up in Montreal, but outside of him and maybe Travis Moen, I don't think there's really anybody on that roster that's in Shawn Thornton's league. So that was not going to happen.'
Of course, there was an expectation of fisticuffs given Zdeno Chara's hit on Max Pacioretty in the teams' last meeting and Mark Recchi's suggestion that Montreal embellished the severity of Pacioretty's concussion.
'I was just curious to see if Montreal would alter their game plan at all, relative to the way they play, if somebody was going to try and get in Chara's face early in the game,' Brickley said. 'When I didn't see that happen, I was pleased to see that it was just going to be a hockey game. I loved the way the Bruins responded and played their game.'
Recchi said after the game that he made his controversial comments in an attempt to take some pressure off Chara. Brickley said he thought that showed leadership on Recchi's part and he thought there was some truth to what he said.
'That carries a lot of weight when it comes from a guy like Mark Recchi who's been around a long time and is so well respected in the league,' he said. 'But there is an element of truth to what he said, too. I think what he said, because it was inflammatory or whatever you want to describe it as, it takes the attention away from Zdeno Chara and he takes it on his shoulders, Mark Recchi. But I think what he said was true. I think a lot of players in that locker room and across the league feel that way.
'Because the Bruins have a hands-on experience with Marc Savard, with Patrice Bergeron, they know just from observation what a severe concussion is. And the evidence suggests that this is not severe when you see the reports that Pacioretty was up and around and feeling good. It just leaves questions, and I think that's what Mark Recchi was saying. And I think he speaks the truth.' Read the rest of this entry »
|Zdeno Chara proved he can still focus better than anyone
|at 8:35 am ET
It would've been completely understandable if Zdeno Chara didn't look himself Thursday night.
There had been so much said and written about his hit on Max Pacioretty on March 8. There were so many league eyes on the rematch between the two rivals. And the Canadiens had every reason to come out and hit Chara and the Bruins hard.
The Bruins, however, weren't biting and neither was Chara. And the result was a clinic on how to dismantle your opponent.
"We wanted to have a good, strong performance," Chara said of the battle against the Canadiens, who came in just three points behind the B's in the Northeast Division. "Montreal is playing well and obviously they're a good team. But our focus was obviously on our game.
"We tried to obviously play our game and stay focused in our game plan. And every time you get away from that against a team like that, they're going to make you pay. So like I said, we really tried to stay focused and tried to establish our game plan and play strong. And obviously we got ahead in the first twenty and from that point I thought we handled and controlled the game pretty well."
Scoring in the first 61 seconds also did a great deal to take the edge off. So did leading 3-0 after 20 minutes. The Bruins systematically took apart the Canadiens on this night in a 7-0 rout.
"I think that just happens when you score obviously early goals," Chara said of Johnny Boychuk's goal at 1:01, the first of three Chara would assist on during the blowout. "In the first 20 [minutes], we got a good lead but we never sat on it. We never tried to just protect the lead. We were obviously going after it and tried to score more goals and continue to play the game we were playing in the first 20 and second 20 and then, the third 20.
As for being tested mentally, Chara knew the Canadiens would hit him. And they did when Mathieu Darche belted Chara in the first period. But Chara took his time and only hit when it was appropriate. And when he did, it was devastatingly effective. Moments after the Darche hit, Chara dumped Travis Moen on the ice with a solid back check that sent the Bruins on a rush the other way.
"I don't exactly remember the play, but like I said I'm not going to change," Chara said. "I'm going to still play a physical game. That's my game. And it's part of the game to be hitting each other."
Now, for the time being, Chara and the Bruins can move past the Canadiens and focus on a key stretch of three games coming up – Saturday against the Rangers, Sunday on the road against the Flyers and Tuesday back home against the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks.
"That was the first step forward from the previous games," Chara said. "And obviously now we have two games with a good solid effort. And obviously we know that next opponents we have, Rangers, Flyers, Chicago, is going to be a good challenge for us. So we just got to stay focused and not get too high or too low. We just got to stay nice and humble and get ready for next games."
|Turns out Claude Julien knew 'exactly' what Mark Recchi was doing … and saying
|03.24.11 at 11:09 pm ET
You can count on one hand the number of times in his career Zdeno Chara has needed someone to stand up for him against the opposition.
But a 43-year-old winger who runs about foot shorter than the Bruins 6-foot-9 captain did just that this week and it paid huge dividends in a 7-0 Bruins rout of the Canadiens on Thursday at TD Garden. And he didn't need to throw a punch, finish a check or swing a stick. Just open his mouth.
Mark Recchi acknowleged he made comments this week critical of Canandiens management and their medical staff to take pressure off Chara. Recchi told a Boston radio station Wednesday that the Canadiens "embellished a little bit" the hit on Max Pacioretty on Mar. 8 that resulted in a concussion for Pacioretty but no suspension for Chara.
"I have to be honest with you guys. I wanted to take the heat off Zee for a day and I'm a big boy," Recchi said after the game. "I think anyone who knows me, knows that I have great respect for the Montreal organization, I played five years there. I have great respect for Doctor [David] Mulder, the medical staff there. … In 22 years, I've respected all my teammates, all the players I play against. My record has shown that.
"I have nothing but great things to say about the Montreal organization, I had five great years there. And it's still an unfortunate situation it all happened. We all hope Max [Pacioretty] gets a full recovery here soon and we know he's well on his way. And like I said, this is something that I believe in twenty-two years I've been very respectful to players and opponents throughout. So that should be the end of it really."
Maybe in Boston but not Montreal, where the questions from the media kept coming.
"I'm a big boy and like I said, I'm sorry if it hurt some people, but at the same time, I think everyone knows my reputation for 22 years," Recchi repeated. "I'm very respectful of teammates, players, organizations and that is not going to change. I felt a need to protect our captain and it's important. That will be the end of it and you won't hear anything said by me anymore.
"I took pressure off my captain for one day," Recchi added. "He deserved it. He earned it."
Chara certainly appreciated the gesture.
"I obviously don't know exactly all the comments," Chara said of Recchi's radio comments. "But he's such a great teammate and such a respected guy and leader. It's a thrill to have him. We all learned so much from him. He's obviously the next hall-of-famer and such a classy guy. Like I said, I can't thank him enough to be my teammate and be part of this team, and helping all of us to be better."
Recchi's teammates all knew how important Thursday was to Chara.
"It's been hard for us to sit here and see Zee," said Gregory Campbell, who got into the only scrape of the night with Paul Mara. "Zee takes things personally, and he's a good person. He doesn't like to see anybody get injured. Behind the scenes, it's a hard thing to handle, and he's handled it extremely well."
Bruins coach Claude Julien said he wasn't surprised since he knows Recchi is a veteran and knows exactly what he's doing.
"It says a lot because I know what kind of player he is," Julien said. "I knew exactly what he was doing. You don't have to speak. He's 43 years old, he's a big boy. He can answer for himself. I don't think I need to coach him on any of that stuff.
"When you see a guy with that kind of experience say something like that, you know what he's doing. So, there was nothing to be said. Their focus was on the game. He had to say what he had to say for whatever reason. That was something where I didn't need to ask him that question because I knew exactly what he was doing."

Southern director Susi Ganeshan, who is ready with "Shortcut Romeo", a Hindi remake of his Tamil film "Thiruttu Payale", loves the way Bollywood is promoting movies.
"Nowadays, wherever there is a possibility people try to catch a glimpse of publicity. It's actually good," Ganeshan said here Sunday at a charity art exhibition where Ameesha Patel, who features in the movie, also celebrated her birthday with children as part of the film's promotion strategy.
"If you compare to south, these kind of promotions won't be there. But in Bollywood, wherever people assemble, people go and promote the film. I love this," he added.
"Shortcut Romeo" also stars Puja Gupta and hits theatres June 21.

Atrisco Drive NW Lane Modification Proposal
Councilor Sanchez is working with the community, City of Albuquerque Traffic Engineers and Parametrix to address the speeding problem on Atrisco Dr. NW. Speed studies on Atrisco have found that more than half of the cars are traveling 48 miles per hour with a posted limit of 30 miles per hour. Councilor Sanchez' office has received a number of calls concerned about the safety of pedestrians crossing the roadway and resident's homes fronting Atrisco Dr.
A proposal to have the road reduced to one lane each way was presented to the community on November 13, 2014. Many residents attended the meeting and shared their thoughts regarding this proposal. In looking for a way to address the concerns of speeding a number of suggestions were made. Councilor Sanchez has asked the traffic engineers to look into all possible options.

This will be a state of the art, full service library with plenty of community meeting spaces, study rooms, and computer access, as well as being a comfortable place to browse our collection of books, magazines, music, movies and more.

EmbarrassingButEmpoweringOutfit Embarrassing but empowering outfit YKTTW Discussion
|Embarrassing but empowering outfit
An outfit that gives its wearer immense power but looks ridiculous.
- Haley: ... so the Boots of Speed were totally powerful, but they were, like, lime green.Vaarsuvius: Indeed. A most grave conundrum you faced.
In-Universe Examples Only[[foldercontrol]] [[folder:Anime & Manga]]
- From Sumomo Mo Momo Mo, Sanae's Uma Kamen outfit. It's an outfit from her tribe that increases its wearer power but it looks like a bondage costume. Sanae hates wearing it and most characters, even the ones she saved, are taken aback to how ridiculous the outfit looks.
- Project A-ko: B-ko Daitoukuji's battle armor, Akagiyama 23 enhances her reflexes to match A-ko's. However, it's skimpy and comes with a visor. When A-ko and the other students fitst see it, they burst out laughing at her. Then the fight began. Let's just say A-ko's laughter was short lived.
- Later in the film, it's reaveled that it also has a built-in jet pack which enables B-ko to fly; which she uses during her attempt to rescue C-ko from Captain Napolipolita. B-ko was able to manuever effortlessly through a non-stop missile barrage.
- Kore wa Zombie desu ka?: The costume worn by Magic Girl Haruna contains lots of ruffles and bows. This isn't so embarrassing for her, but when she accidentally passes on her powers, costume included, to the zombie Ayumu, he is not so amused by the outfit◊. In order to activate his powers, the pink bow-covered costume is included.
- There's a scene in The Slayers where Lina and Amelia put on silly dresses and sing a silly song in order to cast a powerful spell and kill a demon. It produces some lights. The spell was actually for a festival. Lina then killed the demon with her classic Dragon Slave as punishment for watching her embarrass herself.
- The manga Miracle Lingerie parodies Stripperific costumes with a set of actual lingerie that gives superpowers, but only when nothing is worn over it. The heroine is understandably not keen on wearing it in public.
- In Empowered, the titular character possesses a full body super-suit that gives her numerous super abilities but it's also made of extremely thin and fragile material. The suit tears easily and even when it's fully intact, it's so form-fitting that it leaves little to the imagination. These are huge problems for a superheroine like Empowered who has numerous body-image issues.
- In The Greatest American Hero Everyman Ralph Hinkley is given a "super suit" by some friendly aliens. He is very embarassed being seen in it, but eventually he gets used to it.
- On Wizards of Waverly Place, when Max's powers fully come in he's unable to truly control or use them. In order to do so, he must wear a huge, gaudy, puffy jester hat. Not doing so would cause events like spontaneous indoor blizzards, but doing so made him the laughing stock of the school.
- Magick Chicks: The mysterious wand grants Melissa Hellrune unimaginable power, enough to trigger a level 9 magical event. Said wand also comes with an outlandish Cute Witch Magical Girl costume. Melissa is not pleased.
- Haley in Order Of The Stick has a pair of magical Boots of Speed, but considers them a fashion disaster because they're lime green, and refuses to wear them until she can get them dyed brown to match her armor.
- Goblins has a subversion, when Minmax complains loudly about Forgath forcing him to wear a suit of magical pink armor. He doesn't realise that one of the armor's properties is the ability to take on any color he chooses.
- In the xkcd strip titled shoes a character is rewarded shoes that make their wearer immortal. He can't decide whether or not to wear the shoes since the have creepy individual toes.
- In Slimy Thief a male warrior goes to Azamat's store and asks for the most powerful armor. Azamat pulls out some magical armor that He initially refuses to wear it because "It has boobs".
- In Persona 3 FES there's a bonus female-only costume you can get called the High Cut Armour. It significantly raises a party members attack and defense, can be gotten early on in the game and isn't usurped as the best armor for a while. However, it's also very skimpy and one the few costumes that the girls will comment on specifically if you equip it (usually you get a generic 'thanks!' message, but with the HCA you get a "...really? I have to wear this?" one instead).
- The Armor of Zeldron, from Adventure Time, grants its wearer flight and protects them from just about anything. In the episode "Blood Under the Skin" Finn and Jake go quest to find the armor, but when they do find it Finn refuses to wear it since it's "girl armor"
- In SpongeBob SquarePants it is stated that superpowers come from costumes, and that is the only reason that the heroes would wear them.
Mermaid Man: Power's all in the costume. Why else would we run around in colored undies?

The Director for Sustainable Tourism for the Association of Caribbean States has sounded an alarm on the effects of global warming and rising sea levels on yachting in the Caribbean.
Sailing in the Caribbean - is it under threat as well?
Jasmin Garraway, in a guest editorial in the Sun St Kitts, a local St Kitts publication, said 'Climate change and sea level rise pose a major threat to the expansion of the boating and the cruise industry.
'The Caribbean remains one of the world's most popular boating destinations. The nature of the product demands that supporting infrastructure is constructed on the shoreline making them as equally vulnerable as coastal resorts.
'One of the greatest threats to tourism in the region is the phenomenon of rising sea levels, which will increase waves and storm surges occurring with hurricanes. Scientists believe that climate change, which normally occurs over long periods of time, is accelerating due to increased human activities such as burning of fossil fuels and that this phenomenon is causing increased frequency and intensity of natural disasters in the region. Global climate change has led to changes in sea surface temperatures and sea levels, which in turn can result in flooding, inundation and erosion in low-lying coastal areas.
'Coral reefs, which are valuable tourism resources, can also be affected by the impacts of rising temperatures and storms. This contributes to coral bleaching and affects the production of sand for beaches; erodes the protective function and decreases the reef's value to fish stocks. Sea level rise also changes the ecology and hydrology of the natural heritage diversity and alters the value of these ecotourism attractions.'
Tourism stakeholders will face the challenges of sustaining business viability, income and property value. The cost of protection measures for beach and property will have to be met. The declining amenity value, the deterioration of the landscape and aesthetics, issues related to insurance and reinsurance, as well as the cost and availability of adequate coverage pose other serious concerns.
Jasmin Garraway is the sustainable tourism director of the Association of Caribbean States.

The Real World: Why Supreme Court Appointments Are So Important
It's possible "Tonight Show" Host Jay Leno already has conclusive results on this, but for today's purposes, I'm just going to make a wild assumption.
I'm going to assume that if I stopped the average American on the street and asked him or her to name all the U.S. Supreme Court justices, most would probably have no clue.
In fact, I doubt it would be much of a gamble to claim that many would not even know there are nine justices. Read more

I am working FT. My husband had been laid off and was playing Mr. Mom with our daughter. He was offered a job on Friday (yay!) so now I have to call all of those daycare places on my list again (I had called while I was pregnant and made a spreadsheet of locations, times, costs, staff ratios, contact info, etc.).
I am still SHOCKED by the costs of daycare in my area.This led me to think that if I lived anywhere else, I would be paying half as much. If you don't mind telling, how much does your daycare cost per week? Please mention if its a center or home or nanny.
Oh, I live in the Chicago area and FT infant rates at a center are about $350-$400 per week. Home daycares are about $285-$300. Yikes.

One-third of BDOs in Bihar face corruption charges
Top Stories
- L-G Jung functioning as if there is President's Rule in Delhi: Sisodia
- Suicide car bomb kills at least 6, injures 9 in Kabul
- VIDEO: Teased by bodyguard, Agra woman smashes SP leader's Mercedes
- Amid Delhi Chief Secy row, at least dozen govt officers ready to leave city
- Modi govt calls for 'fitting' commemoration of Rajiv Gandhi death anniversary
Out of 534 block development officers posted across Bihar, 181 or one-third are currently facing probe mostly for alleged misuse and misappropriation of fund meant for the Indira Awas Yojana. In fact, 58 BDOs face corruption charges for their dubious role in the implementation of IAY. This was revealed in an RTI query by Buxur resident Shiv Prakash Rai, who had asked for a list of accused BDOs with status of cases against them.
The Rural Development Department gave the information on November 6 (The Indian Express has a copy of the reply), only after the intervention of the Bihar State Information Commission.
The government listed cases against 114 BDOs. However, Rural Development Minister Nitish Mishra told The Indian Express that a total of 181 BDOs are facing probe and 93 have been sent back to parent departments an action considered the biggest punishment for a BDO for he or she will have to work under juniors.
Key findings:
Most common allegation against BDOs is irregularities in the IAY. Shiv Narain Azad, the then BDO of Darbhanga Sadar, is accused of benefitting the same person twice under the scheme. He has been sent back to parent department and an inquiry against him is on. Arun Kumar Prasad, Kalyanpur BDO, faces charges of allotting IAY houses to undeserving people. n Another allegation against BDOs is massive irregularities in implementation of welfare schemes at the nagar panchayat level. The then Barauli (Gopalganj) BDO, Uday Kumar Tiwari, faces allegations of irregularities in welfare schemes; so does then Bachwara (Begusarai) BDO, Nilu Paul. The then Tarapur (Munger) BDO, Kameshwar Prasad Gupta, faces allegations for irregularity in tube well scheme.
BDOs faced public ire for tardy implementation of Mukhyamantri Kanya Vivah Yojana, under which Rs 5,000 is given to each Dalit family.

Megan R. Wilson of The Hill reports that:
K Street lobbyists are racking up frequent flyer miles with regular trips to Silicon Valley in search of clients. They are trading power suits for California casual to cash in on the explosive growth of technology lobbying, which has more than doubled over the past decade and shows no signs of slowing down.
The digital age is still young enough that most Americans can remember a time when Silicon Valley's disdain for Washington bordered on contempt. Government, with all its regulations and its glacial pace and its lack of vision was among the those things which the computer would enable us to leave behind. To transcend, even.
It is a nice memory. Reality, of course, is that:
With issues related to privacy, patents and surveillance cropping up frequently in Congress and at regulatory agencies, K Street is finding that tech firms are more receptive to their sales pitches than ever before.
The digital dream was once to become the next Microsoft. These days, the suits from back East use that company as:
... a cautionary tale, as it waited 20 years after forming to hire any Washington help, only to be plunged into a costly antitrust fight.

Memorial Day serves as a great reminder to recognize all of the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. For those who make it back, they are faced with many challenges that can lead them to be unhoused. Despite their years of service to this Country, veterans represent a disproportionate number of the homeless population.
A year ago, the Veterans Housing Facility opened its doors in San Jose to help veterans transition to permanent housing. The facility was previously located in Menlo Park as part of the Veterans Affairs (VA) Palo Alto Health Care System. They have been open for 14 years and have helped more than 7,000 veterans.
"Our mission is to keep veterans from being homeless," said Kyle Terzian, program manager. "We just had one guy come in from North Carolina. It doesn't matter where the veteran is at anywhere in the country if they can make it here and they need housing and support, that's what we'll do."
Studies indicate that the needs of veterans are unique, and experience higher rates of mental health and substance dependence problems. The facility offers a number of services that include job placement programs, relapse prevention classes. There is Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings and Alcoholic Anonymous (AA) meetings. The facility also offers church services on Sundays.
There are different reasons why veterans end up unhoused. "There's no one reason. I mean there's a guy going through a divorce and there's another guy dealing with the economic downfall. Some couldn't afford to live in the Silicon Valley and they've worked all their life," said Terzian.
The facility works with veterans who were trying to survive on fixed incomes. The oldest homeless veterans they currently serve are in their 80's. It is also serving a 24-year-old Afghanistan War veteran.
"We're real successful because people come here and they leave with permanent housing," said Terzian.
The facility is a non-profit organization that receives partial funding from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, as well as charitable funding from community organizations and corporations. They do outreach and get referrals primarily from VA and other agencies.
Currently the facility has 25 treatment beds, 125 transitional housing beds equipped with TV's, DirecTV, Wi-Fi, and a bathroom. A veteran can stay on the San Jose campus for up to two years. It all depends on their situation.
Every veteran is different, their needs are different, so the facility works with them 0n an individual basis. To be eligible, the veteran must be homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, willing to participate in VA health care, totally independent, capable of staying clean and sober, willing to participate in therapy work, free of tuberculosis exposure, and medically and psychologically stable. "It's more important than I can even describe. I mean we have 130 beds. That's 130 people that aren't on the street. 130 veterans who have a place to stay rather than the street or a shelter," said Terzian.

Since the passage of the CEA, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and its predecessor agencies have been responsible for ensuring the fair, open and efficient functioning of futures markets – we have met that challenge. After the 2008 financial crisis, and the subsequent enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFTC's mission was expanded to include, for the first time, oversight of the swaps marketplace. The Commission still has much work to do to effectively complete implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act and police the over-the-counter markets. Once implemented, derivatives dealers will be subject to robust oversight. Standardized derivatives will be required to trade on open platforms and be submitted for clearing to central counterparties, all of which will be subject to Federal regulation and supervision.

Richard Beamish, an engineer, tells of the time when he was employed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and his father, Marc, to work on the Thames Tunnel.
It was 1825 and no one had ever dug a tunnel under a river before.
Beamish wanted to know how this would be achieved and Brunel explained the theory behind the 'Shield', a device that his father, Marc, had invented.
The Shield was a huge metal disc with doors in it, which enabled the workmen to stand on it, open the doors and dig out sections of soil to create the tunnel, while the shield kept the rest of the earth in place.
However, the River Thames contained a lot of sewage and many workmen working underground collapsed from breathing in the fumes and there was a further problem with water constantly entering and flooding the tunnel. On one occasion Isambard Kingdom Brunel himself was caught up in such a flood. He was badly hurt, but he survived; others were not so fortunate.
It was seven years before work resumed on the tunnel and it was finally finished. And, although Isambard Kingdom Brunel never returned to work on the tunnel after he had recovered, he went on to other challenges and even greater achievements...

Challenging the "Luxury" of Abstinence
by Haider Rizvi
NEW YORK - While there is no indication that the George W. Bush administration is willing to roll back its current restrictions on funding for HIV/AIDS, it may find it difficult to maintain the status quo when Democrats take charge of the U.S. Congress in January.
U.S. efforts to promote abstinence as a cornerstone of sexual education have not lowered levels of sexually transmitted diseases, two former U.S. surgeon generals said on Thursday.Read more...
