Partnership for Integrated Sustainable Development Association introduced solar cookers in 4 villages in Ethiopia
News and recent developments
- December 2010: Until now 3700 CooKits, 1930 haybaskets, 2140 Mirt stoves and 1540 Rocket stoves (Tikikil) were distributed.
- October 2010: This year 400 solar cooking households have joined the NGO PISDA project in Ethiopia that has now been running for 4 years, mainly in and around Debre Zeit, in the same district where the 2009 group (600 households) lives. It is noteworthy that less impoverished women show interest in the more expensive solar box. To be able to acquire this they discuss together the possibility of a 'loan revolving fund'.They share knowledge as well and recognize the savings made on the purchase of wood, charcoal or kerosene. These women exercise a positive influence on the poorer women who like to follow their example.
Men's acceptance of cooking with the CooKit or hay basket remains an area of special interest. It is a gratifying subject of discussion at women's meetings. They proudly recount how diplomatic they are and
only tell their husband how the meal was cooked after he has complimented them on it. A wood-saving cooking appliance remains an essential part of integrated cooking since cooking methods need not be adjusted.
March 2009: A delegation of NGO's from the Horn of Africa countries visited the Promotion and Productioncentre in Debre Zeit. It was part of the workshop "Integrated Sustainable Cooking" organised by HoA-REC/N, a department of the University of Addis Ababa and Janny Poley, first secretary of The Netherlands Embassy (Addis Ababa).
- April 2008: The Production and promotion centre in Debre Zeit was built in a short time and started with the production of CooKits, hay baskets and fuel-saving stoves by women and for women. In workshops for trainers women discuss different ways of saving and earning money by using integrated solar cooking [ISSC]. This knowledge centre will also be an example for other regions in Ethiopia: workshops are held for other organisations that wish to start solar cooking projects.
- November 2007: Solar Cooking Netherlands (SCN) has teamed up with Partnership for Integrated Sustainable Development Association (PISDA), a local non-governmental organization, to introduce solar cooking in four rural villages around Debre Zeit. PISDA has worked with female h eads of households on a number of projects, such as tree p lanting, fuel-eff
icient wood sto ves, and savings and credit associations. SCN's Clara Thomas, along with PISDA's Ato Guillilat, left early mornings on a two-wheeled horse wagon to visit the four rural villages. They first introduced solar cookers to village elders, and then spent a week training a group of solar cooking instructors. A year-long initial program was agreed upon to ensure continued follow up in the form of monthly collective solar cooking meetings to share experiences and advice. The project will likely expand next year. A local solar fabricator in Addis Ababa — Bereket Solar — will produce CooKit solar cookers by hand for the project. Towards the end of 2007 he will transfer his experience and knowledge to the women in rural areas so that they can make their own CooKits. Injera, a pancake-like bread, is a local staple that cannot be cooked with simple solar cookers. (It requires a 60-centimeter diameter pan and baking temperature of at least 220°C.) A research program is underway to find a solar method for baking injera. The present cooking culture does not permit introducing collective solar injera baking through a large bakery or otherwise. In the meantime, injera will continue to be baked three times per week on a fuel-efficient wood stove.

Playing The Sims FreePlay app. No audio. Game volume is at maximum. Any suggestions as to why there is no audio? Is it the app?
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

The Hotknife is a custom car appearing in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto V.
The Hotknife is a late 1920's or early 1930's Hot Rod resembling a 1928 Ford Model A with modifications and a custom paint job. The car comes only in one paint scheme purple with white accents and a black roof. Visits at Pay 'n' Spray garages have no effect on the car, neither can the car be modified at any modification garages, but features two variants; one with a covering on the V8 engine and one without a covering. It has capacity for only two people.
The Hotknife handles well on-road and off-road. There's great acceleration to be had from the V8 up front, but its top speed is ultimately lower than the more aerodynamic cars found in the game. Its cornering isnt too good, which makes turning at high speed somewhat difficult; one noteable thing about this car is its poor endurance in crashes, probably because of the exposed front suspension and radiator.
GTA: San Andreas Like the Phoenix, the Hotknife is an extremely rare car to find in GTA San Andreas, with only one certain spawn point in the game:
- Spawns in front of the Driving School in Doherty, San Fierro after getting all gold medals in driving school (its license plate reads "GOLD").
- Can be obtained through Vigilante missions, which in rare occasions are driven by criminals, but only at levels 1 and 2, otherwise only 4-door cars are used (This can be done even from the beginning of the game).
- A wrecked version of the Hotknife can be found inside of Loco Low Co..
- Spawns often when the "fast cars" cheat is activated.
Grand Theft Auto V
- Immediately given to the player in the garage if one owns a Collector's Edition.
- The default radio station in San Andreas of the Hotknife is Playback FM.
- It is one of the few vehicles that can't be modded at any mod shops.
- Unusually, the upper frame of the passenger side's door is inconsistent to that of the driver side, appearing recessed and colored purple (as opposed to the driver side's black), This is caused by the door being set in too much to the cars' body and is evident when the door swings open, to reveal the door is identical to the driver-side door.
- If the player uses a lot of cheats (they don't have to be vehicle related) it will spawn more in the streets and if the player uses too many cheats it spawns more than most vehicles.
- The name Hotknife is a possible reference to "hotknifing", a common method of smoking hash, while also being a play on "hot rod".
- It is the oldest car in the whole game, along with the Hustler.
- Because of the wreck in the Loco Low Co. garage, the car could've been tuneable there in the Beta.

VIDEO: Ohio teacher caught on camera pushing kindergartner against wall, grabbing him by the face
MOUNT BLANCHARD, Ohio - A northwest Ohio sheriff's office is investigating a teacher who they say was caught on a surveillance camera violently pushing a kindergartner up against a wall and grabbing him by the face and shirt.
Riverdale Local Schools has suspended the teacher for 10 days after the video was made public last week.
WTOL-TV of Toledo reported Thursday that a sheriff's deputy visited the boy's father a day earlier and has opened an investigation.
The sheriff's office says it could be next week before the investigation is complete and provided to the Hancock County prosecutor.
According to the TV station, three cafeteria cooks who were taking a break nearby said they heard Williams yell at 6-year-old Ian Nelson about using the bathroom. The cooks said Williams called the boy a liar and said she was sick of him and his parents, then "growled" at him and told him, "I am going to rip you apart."
Williams was questioned by the school's principal and the district's superintendent, and admitted to touching the boy, but said it was due to him fooling around when he went to the bathroom, WTOL reported.
School superintendent Eric Hoffman told the station he has apologized to the parents and called the incident unfortunate.
The boy's parents say the teacher should be fired.
"I would consider what would happen to myself, if I were to do that to her. If I were to do that to her, I would go to jail," Anthony Nelson, Ian's father told WTOL
The Nelsons say that 10-day suspension is like an early vacation for the teacher, since there are only 10 days left in the school year.
The superintendent told WTOL that Williams has been with the district for 14 years and the reason this incident came to light is because a fellow staff member reported it last week.

Secrecy, Freedom and Empire: Lessons for Today from Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers
Recorded: Wednesday, October 23, 2002
Daniel Ellsberg began his Vietnam-era career as a U.S. Marine company commander, a Pentagon official, and a staunch supporter of U.S. global interventionism. But, in October 1969, Ellsbergfully expecting to spend the rest of his life in prisonsmuggled out of his office and made public a seven-thousand-page top secret study of decision making in Vietnam, the Pentagon Papers. At this upcoming Independent Policy Forum, Ellsberg will tell the story of his becoming the most important whistle-blower of the last fifty years, risking his career and his freedom to expose the deceptions and delusions of U.S. leaders from Truman onward.
Based on his new book, Secrets, Ellsberg provided an insiders view of the secrets and lies that have shaped decades of U.S. foreign policy to the present. His exposure began on his first day at the Pentagon, August 4, 1964, which was also the day of the infamous Gulf of Tonkin incident. In time, the more he learned from top decision-makers, confidential documents, and reports of secret maneuvers, the more skeptical he became about the conduct and impact of U.S. foreign policies.
The release of the Pentagon Papers set in motion a chain of events that included a landmark Supreme Court decision, the arrest and trial of Ellsberg, the crimes of Watergate, and the end of the Nixon presidency and the Vietnam War.
As the U.S. pursues the current War on Terrorism, Ellsbergs insights into governmental intoxication with power could not be more timely or important.
This special evening with Daniel Ellsberg and a distinguished panel of scholars, Barton J. Bernstein, Edwin B. Firmage, David R. Henderson, and Jonathan Marshall discussed Secrecy, Freedom and Empire: Lessons for Today from Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers.

The U.S. War on Terrorism: Myths and Realities
Recorded: Tuesday, September 24, 2002
"Nothing will be the same after September 11." This is the view offered since the announcement of the war on terrorism, a "permanent war" declared with an ill-defined objective and unclear enemies. At this upcoming Independent Policy Forum and based on his new book, Theater of War, Lewis H. Lapham will instead discuss with intelligence and wit why the recent behavior of the U.S. government is consistent with that of past administrations. Politicians have long fostered pork, corporate welfare, government surveillance, and global interventionism that have created a more dangerous world. Now, we face the prospects of a major war in Iraq combined with the Orwellian USA PATRIOT Act, TIPS domestic spying program, Department of Homeland Security, incarcerations without charge or trial, militarized domestic law enforcement and airport security, and national ID cards.
Until recently, hearing skeptics of the "permanent war" has largely been a rarity. For example, as Lapham points out: "Ted Koppel struck the preferred note of caution on November 2 when introducing the Nightline audience to critics of the American bombing of Afghanistan: 'Some of you, many of you, are not going to like what you hear tonight. You don't have to listen.'" Unpopular, informed opinions seldom appear on the network news, and since the destruction of the World Trade Center, dissenting voices have been few and far between. However, Lewis Lapham is a major exception, questioning the motive, feasibility and morality, as well as the imperial pretension, of an infinite and dangerous, U.S. global-war crusade.
This special program with Lewis Lapham and a distinguished panel of journalists, Alan W. Bock, Jonathan Marshall, Seth Rosenfeld, and Paul H. Weaver, discusses the "U.S. War on Terrorism: Myths and Realities."

Big Brother is Watching
Recorded: Thursday, June 6, 2002
To outsiders, its initials once stood for No Such Agency. To its employees, they stood for Never Say Anything. Today the public knows that the ultra-secret National Security Agency manages the nations spy satellites, but few know exactly why the NSA is the most powerful U.S. intelligence agencyor its roles in the Cold War, the hunt for Osama bin Laden, and Echelon, the worldwide NSA spying operation that, many charge, is illegally monitoring innocent citizens. No outsider knows more about the NSA than investigative journalist James Bamford, who began to research it before most members of Congress had even heard of it. In this talk, Mr. Bamford explained why he believes the NSA is a dangerous, two-edged sword.

The Real Abraham Lincoln: A Debate
Recorded: Tuesday, May 7, 2002
Many Americans consider Abraham Lincoln to be the greatest president in history. His legend as the Great Emancipator has grown to mythic proportions as hundreds of books and a monument in Washington, D.C., extol his heroism and martyrdom. Is Lincolns reputation deserved? Lincoln defender Harry V. Jaffa (author of the new book, A New Birth of Freedom) will argue that Lincoln was a model statesman who stuck by high-minded principles as he fought to promote liberty. Lincoln critic Thomas DiLorenzo (author of the new book, The Real Lincoln) will argue that Lincoln was a calculating politician who waged the bloodiest war in American history not to free the slaves, but in order to build an empire that rivaled Great Britains. Was Lincoln a great hero or a villain? Did he honor the promise of Americaor betray it?

Gore Vidal on Understanding Americas Terrorist Crisis
Recorded: Thursday, April 18, 2002
Filmed before a live audience on April 18, 2002, renowned author Gore Vidal rejects the blind patriotism expected by government officials and the mainstream media, and investigates U.S. foreign policy throughout recent history, showing how it has contributed to the terrorist crisis. With his famous wit and insight, Vidal also demonstrates the ways in which the War on Terrorism is being used to curtail civil liberties and shred the Bill of Rights.

Conning Americans: How Politicians Create Dependence on Government
Recorded: Wednesday, February 13, 2002
"Dependence on government has grown at unprecedented rates over the past 70 years. This ominous trend has coincided with the growth of centralized government power, which at its own discretion is used to regulate, manipuate, or prohibit. Driven by bipartisanship, bureaucracies, and interest groups, and accelerated by presidential ambitions, this trend has been so profound that few today can imagine life without government control. Economist and historian Charlotte Twight, one of the leading experts on politics and privacy, showed how special-interest politics created the income tax, Social Security, Medicare, surveillance of ordinary citizens, and other linchpins of the dependence-state, which in turn have made opposition to centralized control seemingly futile. She will then offer a strategy to reverse this trend in order to fulfill the promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

- Abstract
- Rapid increases and decreases in the synchronisation or functional coupling of neural systems are widely considered key mechanisms for the integration and segregation of neural systems in cognition. In this study, we use Steady State Visually Evoked Potential-Event Related Partial Coherence (SSVEP-ERPCOH) to investigate the relationship between such functional coupling and individual performance on the mental rotation task. Twenty-two right-handed males performed a sequential version of the mental rotation task. Brain electrical activity was recorded from 64 scalp sites and the SSVEP elicited by a diffuse 13 Hz visual flicker superimposed over the visual fields. The correlation between SSVEP-ERPCOH and speed and accuracy was determined during the intake, the hold and rotation components of the task. During the intake component, speed and accuracy were negatively correlated with pre-frontal, frontal and central SSVEP-ERPCOH. During the hold component speed and accuracy were positively correlated with right pre-frontal and frontal SSVEP-ERPCOH although this effect was stronger speed. During the subsequent rotate component, speed and accuracy were negatively correlated with left temporal SSVEP-ERPCOH. These results will be discussed in the context of the role of inhibitory processes in sculpting the dynamic interaction between neural systems in cognition.

For students who wish to explore the earth, weather and the environment, the department has three program concentrations that offer Bachelor of Science degrees in environmental science:
Interdisciplinary Faculty
The programs of study provide a strong foundation in science and mathematics and a broad understanding of the natural environment. The diverse faculty, comprised of geologists, geophysicists, chemists and meteorologists, reflects the program's multidisciplinary approach. Its aim is to successfully prepare students for graduate school and for careers in research labs, industry, consulting, weather forecasting firms, and state and federal governmental agencies, such as the DEP and EPA.
Environmental science is a relatively new academic discipline, having been founded only a little more than 20 years ago. Program graduates have achieved considerable success in the environmental and meteorological fields. Internships are available with many private and governmental organizations. These provide students with practical experience and potential entry into the job market. Undergraduate research also is encouraged and students in the department are active participants in the University's Honors Program.
The department also provides core courses for the University's General Education Program by encouraging intellectual inquiry into the critical issues of the earth and the environment. Such courses recognize that the understanding of environmental processes is fundamental to ecologically sound and sustainable development in a variety of fields.
Resources and Affiliations
The department has over 35 PC, Macintosh, and Unix based computer systems and work stations and a wide variety of software applications and languages, such as air-pollution and weather models, FORTRAN and C/C++ compilers, Mathematica and Maple computer mathematics systems. Geographic Information Systems, word processing, spread sheets and databases are available. Also housed in the department is a weather center with satellite links and remote observation platforms, an air pollution laboratory, a chemistry laboratory for environmental analysis, an instrumental neutron activation analysis laboratory used to measure trace constitutents in natural samples and a fission-track geochronology laboratory. In addition, faculty in the department are affiliated with the Center for Atmospheric Research, the Center for Environmental Engineering and Science, and the Radiation Laboratory, and maintain active collaborations with other universities and research facilities.
Student Organizations
There are a number of student organizations in the department. The student chapter of the American Meteorological Society, a national organization, serves as a focal point for those students interested in the atmospheric sciences. The Society of Environmental Scientists encompasses students interested in a broad range of environmental activities and issues. Sigma Gamma Epsilon is a national earth science honorary society open to all qualified students. These student organizations sponsor speakers, organize field trips, and provide career and job placement seminars.
For more information about admission, retention and degree requirements, please refer to the undergraduate catalog.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: DO NOT DO THIS RACEDate of review: April 11, 2016
In short: Ran in the marathon, there was a half and a 10k too. Ok but wouldn't do it again. Not much atmosphere. Poor medal.In full: 12 laps of a pretty route, fairy tough going as the ground was hard, uneven, tree roots, holes however it was challenging. When all 3 races were on it was single file in some places, fine for the marathoners but those flat out racing on a 10k were very agitated, understandable. Personally I was a little disappointed with the medal, very cheap looking, very standard off the shelf with just 'Marathon Finisher' on the reverse. Having run a marathon I do like a medal I am proud of, this one is not one of those. The t-shirt wasn't a technical running shirt and also a generic one, not specific to which race you ran, more of an advertising opportunity for the organisers.A lot of the marshals were very encouraging, most were. But those who weren't, they were very disinterested often not even noticing if you'd run past. I appreciate it's a tough job, standing in the cold, bit boring etc. However, even if they could pretend to notice it would be an improvement! £28 a bit steep for what you received.Date of review: April 20, 2014
In short: All for Brathay Trust, an amazing cause. Excellent first time race/s. Well done!In full: The most beautiful handmade medals, such time and care went into all the details. Everyone was so friendly. A race put on by runners for runners.Date of review: March 30, 2014
In short: 3rd time I've raced the TW half, love it. Great support, plenty of drinks stations, good medal and useful tech tee too. Thank you TwHarriers.In full: Scenic route with plenty of ups and downs to keep it interesting and challenging. Would definitely recommend.Date of review: March 2, 2014
In short: Shambles. Avoid this one. Dangerous. Expensive.In full: I won't be doing any other Longman eventsDate of review: February 3, 2014
In short: Well done Hermes Running, another great race. Love this year's medal and the technical t-shirt too.In full: Super marshals, really encouraging, well stocked feed stations, well marked route. It's not a PB course, but a very enjoyable race for a bank holiday weekend. Love Saturday marathons! Thank you.Date of review: May 4, 2013
In short: Hilly! Reminded me of Beachy Head marathon but the road race version not trail. In full: My first time at Sussex marathon and was really impressed, smooth organisation, amazingly well supplied feed stations, all the way around. Very friendly and supportive marshals, they really make a race and a big thank you to everyone who gave up their Sunday. It was a very friendly race, plenty of smiling (despite the hills), however just being a friendly race wouldn't necessarily make it an ideal race for a beginner purely because it's such a tough one!The last mile ( which seemed almost vertical at that point) was tough going, but the sense of achievement was immense when crossing the finish line, receiving a personal announcement and lovely welcome.The hills pushed my time almost 35 mins over my PB on a flat course! Will return next year, if only to try to beat this year's time. Perhaps a little more hill training next year!?Date of review: April 7, 2013
In short: Third time for me, loved it, once again. Great support from start to finish, even in such bitterly cold conditions.In full: Excellent medal and goody bag. The highlight for me was holding the Olympic torch and having my photo taken with the Olympians before the start, I was racing and raising money for DKH Legacy.Thank you so much to all those marshals standing out wishing us well as we ran. Date of review: March 1, 2013
In short: No fuss, no frills, but a little pricey for a 10 mile race. Nice route, good support going through the villages and thankfully we could go around the ford, as it was fairly full!In full: My third time at this race and to be honest I only raced today as it was a Club Champs, Kent Champs and Grand Prix race.I felt it wasn't great value for money and for competing in a 10 mile undulating race personally I like to receive a medal. Whilst the bag may be useful, as a competitive club runner I'm afraid to say I won't be using my red Invicta East Kent branded bag. Had it just read 'Canterbury 10 mile 2013' then of course I would!Date of review: January 27, 2013
In short: Hills, mud, Pamela Anderson, hills, mud, Buzz Lightyear, what a way to start 2013. Dr Rob you & your team are legends. Don't change a thing!Date of review: January 1, 2013

ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA) -- Bishop O'Connell added another impressive bullet to an already astounding resume for the 2012-2013 season with a 68-48 landslide victory over the DeMatha Stags. Looking dominant in all facets of the game, O'Connell (14-1, 7-0) ended a seven game winning streak for DeMatha (7-4, 4-1).
From a competitive standpoint, the game lasted six, maybe seven minutes at most. After that, it was all O'Connell, as they found various ways to break down the smaller and slower DeMatha defense. Maryland recruit Melo Trimble led the way for the Knights with 21 points, seemingly scoring the ball at will. The 6-foot-2 junior guard is averaging 18.7 points a game and was able to break down the DeMatha defense with both the range on his jumper and his speed when penetrating the basket.
"My teammates are good teammates, man they want me to score a lot so I had to do what they wanted me to do and that was get the ball in the basket, " Trimble gleefully told me after the game.
Trimble did just that and made it pretty clear who the most able scorer on the court was.
"He's become our floor general. He's hitting three's early, he's driving late but he's still getting our offense going. He's very unselfish, he'll give it up so I'm really proud of him in terms of his overall game," said O'Connell coach Joe Wootten.
The Knights were able to score in transition as well as their half court offense, which put pressure on DeMatha to consistently score on most possessions, a task they failed in vastly.
The Stags lacked a scoring presence, especially at the guard position. At no point did DeMatha give the impression that they could slow the game down and play at the Knights' pace, which was a result of the weak guard play on display throughout the night.
The Stags were never able to catch up to the speed of the game and it showed in the final score. Disappointingly, NC State recruit, 6-foot-8 center BeeJay Anya, may have been in disguise last night because the young man wearing his jersey looked everything but a Division I prospect. In the two biggest games of the season, Magruder, and O'Connell, Anya has shrunk when his presence was needed most, scoring seven points in each outing.
Junior Etou locked up Anya defensively and made blocks on the night his older cousin, Serge Ibaka who led the NBA in blocks last season (3.65) would have been proud to watch. The center grabbed 19 boards and after one of his many blocks, the native of the Democratic Republic of the Congo payed homage to Dikembe Mutombo with the infamous finger wag.
"Etou is very versatile, he can score down low, and face up and shoot from the high post. He also guarded their guards very well, as he's learning to move his feet better," said Wootten.
This is Melo Trimble's third year with O'Connell, but says this year is something special, "This is the best team I've been a part of by far. My freshman team we had a lot of fun together, but this team everyone just wants to win. We don't have any showboaters, everyone knows their role and that's the best way to win every game. We're the hottest team out here right now."
At 14-1 and recently being ranked 23rd nationally by USA Today High School Sports, the future Maryland Terrapin guard may be on to something with that statement.

Re: Maryland Travel Policy
The MSYSA Executive board has voted on and approved the Maryland travel policy that coincides with the current Region I policy stating that teams traveling within Region I do not need to fill out notification of travel. The exception to this policy is for teams traveling to New Jersey or Connecticut. These teams should complete the Notification of Travel Form. It is strongly recommended for teams traveling to NJ or CT to contact the specific tournament and ask about required paperwork.
Teams traveling anywhere outside of Region I are still required to fill out the Application to Travel Form

WASHINGTON — America is pivoting to Asia, focused on the Mideast, yet the "backyard," as Secretary of State John Kerry once referred to Latin America, is sprouting angry weeds as the scandal involving intelligence leaker Edward Snowden lays bare already thorny U.S. relations with Latin America.
Taking the opportunity to snub their noses at the U.S., Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua have already said they would grant asylum to Snowden, who is wanted on espionage charges in the U.S. for revealing the scope of National Security Agency surveillance programs that spy on Americans and foreigners. Ecuador has said it would consider any request from him.
Relations between the U.S. and these countries were already testy, but the Snowden affair also stunned the Obama administration's effort to improve ties with friendlier nations in the region like Mexico and Brazil.
Snowden hasn't been the only recent setback. Leaders in the region criticized the U.S. last week when a newspaper in Brazil, which was privy to some documents released by Snowden, reported that a U.S. spy program was targeting data in e-mails and telephone calls across Latin America.
That revelation came days after an uproar in Latin America over the rerouting of Bolivian President Evo Morales' plane over Europe amid suspicions, later proven untrue, that Snowden was aboard.
All this comes right after President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Kerry have all made recent treks to the region to bolster U.S. engagement in Latin America.
"What the Snowden affair has done to the reinvigorated effort to re-engage with Latin America is to dump a pail of cold water on it," said Carl Meacham, a former senior Latin America adviser on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "It won't stop trade deals, cooperation on energy, but it's going to be harder for the president to portray the image that 'We are here to work with you.' It's a step back."
The U.S. has sought to downplay the fallout from the disclosure of information about its intelligence activities. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki acknowledged that the United States does gather foreign intelligence just like other nations.
"I can tell you that we have spoken with Brazilian officials regarding these allegations," she said last week. "We plan to continue our dialogue with the Brazilians through normal diplomatic channels, but those are conversations that, of course, we would keep private."

Field dressing is the act of removing the entrails from the body cavity of a downed game animal. It is the best way to cool down a game animal in the field. When field dressing any animal, take great care not to cut through the intestines, bladder or stomach area, as urine and other sources of bacteria can cause contamination. Be careful with knives - a good field-dressing knife is very sharp.
To field dress big game, such as deer, you will need to make a cut in the skin starting just above the anus, and going right up to the base of the animal's jaw. This will allow you to remove the internal organs from the body cavity. Once the initial cut is made, take your time cutting the entrails from the backbone. When done properly, the entrails should come out as one large mass.
Most big game animals have scent glands on their hind legs. The glands excrete a penetrating odor or musk. Avoid touching exposed meat if you touch these areas. Leave the glands on, and skin them off as you skin the entire hide later on.
Field dressing of small game is a similar process. The initial cut is made from above the anus right to the breastbone. With one hand holding the animal, use your free hand to take out the internal organs from the body cavity. Once the animal is field dressed, allow the meat to cool in a well-ventilated area.
Field dressing a game bird takes a different first step. Before making the initial cut, you will need to pluck the feathers from the bird's belly to expose the skin. The cut is made below the breastbone - you may then pull out the internal organs with your hands. Once the bird is field dressed, allow the meat to cool in a well-ventilated area.

text: Ben Folds Five is an alternative rock trio formed in 1993 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The group comprises Ben Folds (vocals, piano, and principal songwriting), Robert Sledge (bass guitar, synthesizers, and backing vocals), and Darren Jessee (drums, backing vocals and co-writer for some songs). The group achieved mainstream success in the alternative, indie and pop music scenes. The band is best known for the hit single "Brick" from their 1997 album Whatever and Ever Amen, which gained airplay on many mainstream radio stations. Much of Ben Folds Five's work was influenced by jazz, evident in frequent improv-styled passages through bridge and/or ending. During their seven years together, the band released three proper studio records, one retrospective album of B-sides and outtakes, and eight singles. They also contributed to a number of soundtracks and compilations. Ben Folds Five disbanded in October 2000, apparently under amicable circumstances. The group reunited for a one-off concert on September 18, 2008, where they played their final album, The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner, in its entirety. In 2011, Ben Folds Five reunited to record three tracks for Ben Folds' The Best Imitation of Myself: A Retrospective. It has been announced that the group will be reconvening in December 2011 to record a new album.

Over the years, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) has had its fair share of critics. Often the criticism has come from residents concerned about the amount of effort the Board and its members have put into providing resources to the community and maintaining park grounds and facilities. Some such critical sentiments were recently expressed in a story published in the MSR ("Youth sports build more than just muscle," April 4, 2013), where youth sports coach and community leader Laverne Turner questioned if the MPRB's actions were matching up with their claims of providing extensive programs and activities for youth. MPRB Communications and Marketing Manager Dawn Sommers agrees with Director of Recreation Centers and Programs Al Bangoura that such concerns were warranted some years ago. "We saw the story…and we appreciate [and] we understand his [Turner's] criticism of the time," said Sommers. Continue Reading →

Information & Library Science Department Program Descriptions
Preparing for Information Careers
In companies across the country, corporate library science specialists are integral parts of the management team, as they track and organize information on products, trends and markets. In hospitals, these information experts organize the barrage of material on medical developments. In law libraries, museums, research centers, universities and government agencies, library science experts handle the complicated and important job of managing the world's information.
At the local library information experts are a familiar face, a helping hand, and resident expert to patrons of all ages, helping others access and use information. Whether running a story-hour for preschoolers, helping senior citizens navigate the World Wide Web, or choosing books for a library's collections, library science specialists are the local authorities on information and access.
At Southern, the only school in Connecticut to offer an American Library Association accredited program (Master of Library Science), undergraduate majors gain many of the skills, knowledge, and professional perspective necessary to begin building careers in this exciting field.
The Department of Information and Library Science offers academic programs at the
undergraduate level leading to the degree of Bachelor and Science, and at the graduate
level leading to the degree of Master of Library Science, a professional diploma in
Library Information Studies, and coursework leading to Connecticut certification as
a School Media Specialist.
The Bachelor of Science program in Library-Information Service integrates coursework in information science, library science, instructional technology, and related fields and prepares graduates positions in a variety of information-based fields and for support positions in cultural institutions: libraries, museums, archives, and art galleries.
The graduate programs include Master in Library Science (MLS), School Media Certification program, and the Professional Diploma in Library Information Studies (Sixth-Year Certificate program). The department also offers a number of continuing educational programs.
From: Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2010-11 Edition
Job Outlook for Librarians
Job growth is expected to be as fast as the average and job opportunities are expected to be favorable, as a large number of librarians are likely to retire in the coming decade.
Employment change. Employment of librarians is expected to grow by 8 percent between 2008 and 2018, which is as fast as the average for all occupations.
Jobs for librarians outside traditional settings will grow the fastest over the decade. Nontraditional librarian jobs include working as information brokers and working for private corporations, nonprofit organizations, and consulting firms. Many companies are turning to librarians because of their research and organizational skills and their knowledge of computer databases and library automation systems.
Job prospects. Job prospects are expected to be favorable. On average, workers in this occupation tend to be older than workers in the rest of the economy. As a result, there may be more workers retiring from this occupation than other occupations. However, relatively large numbers of graduates from MLS programs may cause competition in some areas and for some jobs.
Job Outlook for Library Technicians and Library Assistants
Employment of library technicians and assistants is expected to grow about 10 percent, which is about as fast as the average for all occupations. Opportunities will be best for those with specialized postsecondary library training. Prospects should be good, because many workers leave these jobs and need to be replaced.
Employment change. Between 2008 and 2018, the number of library technicians is expected to grow about 9 percent, which is about as fast as the average for all occupations and the number of library assistants is expected to grow by about 11 percent, which is about as fast as the average for all occupations. Increasing use of library automation creates more opportunities for these workers. Electronic information systems have simplified some tasks, enabling them to be performed by technicians, rather than librarians, and spurring demand for technicians.
Job prospects. Job prospects should be favorable. In addition to job openings from employment growth, some openings will result from the need to replace library technicians who transfer to other occupations or leave the labor force. Opportunities will be best for library technicians with specialized postsecondary library training. Each year, many people leave this relatively low-paying occupation for other occupations that offer higher pay or full-time work. This creates good job opportunities for those who want to become library assistants.

The Vapid Bullet and Bullet GT are sports cars featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, The Ballad of Gay Tony and Grand Theft Auto V.
3D Universe
The Bullet's shape closely resembles a Ford GT. The Ford GT wasn't introduced until 2002, ten years after the game takes place, but the original GT40 model was manufactured from 1964 to 1969. The Ford GT40 was used as a racecar in the 1960s, but bears less of a resemblance to the Bullet. In a beta screenshot of GTA San Andreas, the Bullet is seen with a double stripe and a different hood, identical to that on the real Ford GT, the beta model is also portrayed in some renderings inside of Otto's Autos, a showroom in Downtown San Fierro.
HD Universe
Named the Bullet GT in The Ballad of Gay Tony, the car shares similar design cues with the Ford GT such as the waterfall hood scoop and body shape. Unlike the GT40 and GT, the Bullet GT does not feature a rear-hinged rear body section. The lower air ducts on the side of the car and louvers over the rear windscreen are similar to those featured on the Lamborghini Miura. In addition to this, the positioning of the exhaust tips is similar to that of the Miura. Plus, the taillights have a similar appearance to the 1999-2002 R34 Nissan Skyline. The plush interior is derived from the Grotti Turismo and features sport bucket seats finished in tan leather.
Much like various newly designed cars in TBOGT, the car lacks external badging indicating its manufacturer; however, the title "Vapid" is emblazoned above the glove compartment inside the car. In addition, police chatter refers to the car as a "Vapid Bullet GT".
The Bullet GT also makes an appearance in GTA V, however it is simply called the Bullet, lacking its "GT" nomenclature. It's possible that they are two different models, however bar the slight name difference, they are virtually identical in performance and aesthetics except for the rims.
3D Universe
As the name implies, acceleration, speed, handling, and braking are among the best in the game. Steering is very sharp and it has a fun, but still safe, oversteer. The car feels very lightweight and nimble. Acceleration from 0-62 MPH is almost as fast as the Infernus (which is the fastest car in San Andreas). Braking is excellent. The only real sacrifice is susceptibility to intense damage upon impact, especially at the excessive speeds the vehicle is capable of reaching. The vehicle is mid-engine, and has a rear-drive layout. A closer look at the engine shows six injector trumpets, suggesting that the engine is actually a V6 instead of a V8.
HD Universe
The Bullet GT has a top speed of 220 mph (354 km/h), the fastest car in TBOGT (single player) beating the Comet. This corners in a well-balanced manner, as a result of the low-profile tyres and mid-engine layout. However, care must be taken while driving in the rain because of the high torque and rear wheel drive; the car will often lose traction and may over-steer. The Bullet GT is also fairly durable compared to other super cars.
The Bullet GT's engine is in fact the same as the Turismo's; if the player looks closely, they will notice the engine cover displays a "Turismo" logo. The engine's seem to be a modified Turismo engine 4.0 Quad Cam V8.
Similar to the Infernus, Buffalo, F620, Sultan RS and Banshee, the Bullet GT lets out quick bursts of flames from its exhaust, either when changing gear or in the higher RPM ranges.

- The TransFender in Las Venturas has charges 20% more for each modification except colours.
- The mission "No. 3" for Mori Kibbutz features a Bullet GT with a unique white-red paintjob which is driven by the player character Luis Fernando Lopez. This Bullet GT can apparently reach up to 240 mph (386 km/h). In order to get this unique version, the player has to abandon Mori and Brucie Kibbutz, park the car at the safehouse, and save the game.
- Bullet GT with a unique lime green paint-job can be seen during the triathlon side-activities, mainly used for the final phase of the race. This Bullet GT, like other land cars in the triathlon, is boosted with Nitro.
GTA San Andreas
- At the Driving School in Doherty, San Fierro after achieving silver medals in all the schools tests. The car constantly appears with a light grey body.
- In a small alcove near the Solarin Industries in Doherty, San Fierro, next to the Police Bribe.
- Can be seen driven on The Strip.
- Located at Burger Shot in Juniper Hollow, San Fierro. The car constantly appears with a unique grey body and brown stripe.
- Available at Easter Basin, San Fierro, for import after third list completion, for $84,000 on Saturday
- In the parking lot of the northernmost Burger Shot in San Fierro.
The Ballad of Gay Tony
- The player can spawn the Bullet GT via cheat code by dialing "227-555-9666".
- Henrique Bardas can acquire one for the player after the mission No. 3.
- Commonly spawns in Algonquin, especially the southern half of the island.
- Fairly common in Alderney.
- The Bullet GT is one of the vehicles used during the Triathlons side-missions.
- The Bullet GT is used in the Drug Wars as a vehicle packed with drugs, many of these have special paint-jobs not seen anywhere else.
- Sometimes spawns in Simeon Yetarian's garage such as during the beginning of Repossession.
- Sometimes found parked opposite of Sessatona Nove on Portola Drive in Rockford Hills.
- Seems to spawn when riding a Hexer.
- In GTA San Andreas, the default radio station in the Bullet is SF-UR.
- Like in a handful of vehicles, the license plate on the bullet does not show which city is the plate from.
- Certain Bullets in GTA San Andreas acquired through unconventional means may bear special vanity plates:
FUCK YOU(Easter Basin docks)
TOO FAST(Easter Basin docks)
CHUNKY(Burger Shot, San Fierro)
EA SUCKS(Easter Basin docks)
- During the mission, Sexy Time (in TBOGT), look closely when Yusuf opens up his drawer for his wad of money for Luis. There is a magazine under the wad of cash which has a picture of a red beta Bullet in San Andreas.
- In the auto showroom near the coast in San Fierro, there is a picture of a beta Bullet on the first floor.
- The Bullet parked in front of Burger Shot in San Fierro has the same license plate (CHUNKY) as the Elegant that CJ drives during the mission, Management Issues.
- The Bullet is a sports car, but strangely it has the same sound as classic middle power cars like the Tornado or the Glendale.
- The Bullet is the third fastest car in GTA San Andreas, the first being the Infernus, and the second being the Hotring Racer. Following the Bullet in speed is the Turismo.
- The Bullet is unique in the fact that it is one of the only two supercars in the game that has a permanent spawn point, with the other being the Super GT.
- Unlike the GT40 and GT, the Bullet does not feature central-exit exhaust tips.
- The default radio stations for the Bullet GT are:
- The Ballad of Gay Tony: Electro-Choc or Radio Broker.
- GTA V: Blue Ark FM.
- Because the car's engine is placed in just in front of the rear axle, the fuel tank cap is placed in front of the cabin, on the hood/bonnet.
- When protagonist Luis Fernando Lopez calls Henrique Bardas requesting this car, Luis will only refer to it as "Bullet" instead of Bullet GT.
- The Bullet GT sports exactly the same interior as the Turismo's. This proves to be true due to the Grotti emblem on the steering wheel and on the passenger side dashboard, it reads "Turismo".
- The Bullet GT's engine is in fact a Turismo engine;the covers on the engine state: "Turismo"
- The Bullet GT shares the same rim design with the Infernus, except it has grooves down the middle of each spoke (the Infernus does not have this).
- The Bullet that appeared in the GTA Online gameplay video has a similar paintjob to the Gulf Ford GT Paintjob that is used during Le Mans.
