Experience American agriturismo in Colorado at the base of Grand Mesa with a few days filled with fresh food and quiet scenery.
Getting There
From SLC, take I-15 exit 258 toward Price to merge onto US-6 and keep on it until it meets up with I-70 Eastbound. Take exit 26 toward Grand Junction then turn right onto US-50 and follow it into the heart of Delta County.
Why Go Now
After the summer crowds leave and before snow covers the mountains, fall is the perfect time to visit this farming country and enjoy the fresh fruits of a harvest. September and October are ideal months to see the fall foliage September and October are ideal months to see the fall foliage, and Delta County offers multiple options for a casual drive through a number of brightly-colored canyons and countrysides. Plus, many of the surrounding orchards allow you to pick your own fruit right from the tree.
Where to Stay
Rent a room or even your own cabin at the historically-restored Smith Fork Ranch in Crawford (45362 Needle Rock Rd., smithforkranch.com). Soak in the views of mountains, lakes and rivers from the comfort of your private porch and enjoy an all-inclusive, farm-to-table dining experience at a streamside picnic.
Day One: Pick Your Own
Celebrate the local fall harvest in the city of Paonia. Start the day off by picking your own fruit at Delicious Orchards (39126 Highway 133, Hotchkiss, deliciousorchardstore.com) where you can select from a wide variety of apples including Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp, Fuji and more. The orchard is also home to Big B's—fresh pressed organic apple juices. Pick up unique flavors like spearmint apple, ginger apple and cherry apple cider. Head out to the Mountain Harvest Festival, which runs Sept. 27–29. Shop a farmers market, purchase handmade souvenirs by local artisans, and enjoy a glass of local beer or wine all while strolling to the accompaniment of live music. Friday night features a pub crawl and Saturday, a series of concerts (mountainharvestfestival.org).
Day Two: Farm for a Day
See firsthand where all that Delta County fresh food comes from. Take a tour of the greenhouses and barns at The Living Farm (12506 Crawford Rd., Paonia, 970-270-3338), where there's everything from pigs and chickens to an entire greenhouse dedicated to tomatoes. Every Saturday, the farm hosts a farmers market complete with fresh produce, meat and eggs. Stop by the 35-acre Zephyros Farm and Garden (11466 3725 Rd., Paonia, zephyrosfarmandgarden.com) around lunch time for a taste of one of the garden's many berry patches and some fresh goat cheese. A short drive to Hotchkiss will land you at High Wire Ranch (27497 Buffalo Rd., Hotchkiss, highwireranch.com), home to more than 200 elk and bison. Schedule a tour or order a cut of the quality, hormone-free meat. And don't worry about packing it home; they'll ship it for you.
Day Three: Eat and Drink Local
The Sunday brunch at the Fresh & Wyld Farmhouse Inn (1978 Harding Rd., Paonia, freshandwyldinn.com) boasts fresh, organic options from local growers accompanied by live music from local artists and bands. Next, take a tour of the surrounding wine country. Visit the Leroux Creek Vineyards (12388 3100 Rd., Hotchkiss, 970-872-4746), Black Bridge Winery (15836 Black Bridge Rd., Paonia, 970-527-6838) and Terror Creek Winery (17445 Garvin Mesa Rd., Paonia, 970-527-3484) for a glass of Chardonnay, Riesling, Merlot or Pinot Noir.
Admire the best fall colors the area has to offer on a drive around the 205-mile West Elk Loop. If you care to tackle the entire drive, plan on a six to eight hour trek that winds through groves of aspen trees and continues past the Gunnison River. Of course, you'll want to stop to explore and snap a few photos of the fiery leaves, so pack a lunch and take your time.
Care to camp? Jeff Schwartz and his family run Delicious Orchards and Big B's Fabulous Juices, selling fresh fruit and juices made from their surrounding organic apple, cherry and peach orchards. There's a cafe, a tasting room, and you can pick your own fruit or pitch a tent (or tipi) at Delicious Orchards for only $10 to $20 per night. 39126 Highway 133, Hotchkiss, deliciousorchardstore.com

One nice thing about top quality tools like you mention is that if you ever decide that you are done with them, you wil have no trouble selling & getting your money back. You might even turn a profit if the vendors are backordered.
I was also about to start my own thread asking about the easiest way to build an AK from parts kits. I live in CA is this even an option for me to buy a 100% reciever here?
If not I have family one state over in NV. I can always go stay with them for awhile. I know they dont have any trouble with owning , building , buying , ect anything to do with the AK and its variants.
Since you live in the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia you may wish to consider what might happen if you get the itch to take you build out to the range. Consider this: http://www.jgsales.com/advanced_sear...tion=1&x=8&y=7 Its a pump action AK and Kali friendly.
Yeah thats a cool pump action version. But would you, could you, handle only owning that bastardized variant of a truely brilliant semi-or even full automatic ak47? instead of just moving over to gun friendly nevada and bypassing the socialists attempt to keep my clip underfull and hard to aim by pumping the action every shot?
I cant... reno here i come...
I agree. as a newby to this fourm and building AK's...yep, id like to see a sticky on a complete kit build, with a flat....Like the other site...Ive built 3 AR's from kits with the help of the tutorials members posted. good stuff. Thanks. Dan
Im in the middle of doing my first build, I knew and know nothing about ak's and how to build them. I picked up a yugo parts kit, already disassembled and sandblasted, which at first I thought may make it harder to do, but know im really happy it was taken apart and sandblasted. There are so many how to build sites it was really easy to find out how to do it, and with limited tools the disassembly was one of the things im glad I didnt have to do.
I also found a prebent and pre welded rails with template stuck on the receiver from Red Hot Gun Deals!!! which will really help me out, in building the receiver. Im doing a screw build since I have no idea what im doing, then plan on doing another in rivets, and then redoing my screw into rivets later. Im just waiting on some critical parts to show up, but im half way done.
Im really excited to get this finished, and will post pics in the future. Looks like total cost of the whole build including new tools bought will be around $700. Its always fun buying new tools.
At $64 each for the RHGD "blank" (and I use the term loosely, that's an actual receiver IMHO), with no BATF letter stating that they are NOT a receiver, still in need of drilling and heat-treating, why not, instead,
Order a complete, top-of-the-line fully built receiver from NoDakSpud at $60 shipped. Find a local FFL01 to do the transfer and you'll not only benefit from the best receiver on the market, you'll have the machine work done and no worries that ATF might some day send you a letter demanding your "illegal" receiver be delivered to them.
As a new member, I am in awe of all the knowledge and expertise I am experiencing on this forum! I started out inocently purchasing one built AK on Gunbroker.com, received it on Sept. 11. Then I got the BUg! Ijust recieved my first Romanian parts kit from IO Inc. It is real nice. Then I turned around and bought two 100% receivers from IO Inc @ $44.00 a piece! My question is this are screw builds in any way "looked down upon" as inferior? And do you use locktite? I am an aircraft mechanic, and have driven countless Aluminum rivets, but I do not have any tools(like the Harbor freight bolt cutter conversion). The little voice inside says rivet, but for my first one I was considering screws, since rivets are what we A&P's call "One Way Fasteners" (very unforgiving if you f*&k it up)! Any advice?
screws vs rivets
There has to be 100 posts on this.
I would suggest, KomradeAK, you make the acquaintance of the search feature for all the esoteric opinions. Bottom line is either will work.
Thanks Winn R. I did, I see, and your right! Now I also did a search for Plinker's Tools rivet jigs and such within the forums. As far as I can figure, the last reference to their availability was in 2007. Does anyone know if the maker of these tools is still manufacturing?

Gardening Articles: Care :: Plant Care Techniques
How to Buy and Plant Trees (page 2 of 4)
by Lance Walheim
Choose a Healthy Tree
It pays to be a smart shopper when buying trees. As hard as most nurseries and garden centers try to properly care for their trees, the longer a tree has been in the nursery, the greater the chance for something to go wrong. A missed watering here, not enough fertilizer there, and a tree will suffer. Such trees are likely to grow slowly or poorly once they're planted in the landscape.
Trees are sold three ways: bare-root, balled & burlapped (B&B), and in containers. What these trees look like and brief descriptions of the advantages and disadvantages of each is shown and explained below.
Examine a tree carefully before buying. The largest individuals of a group may be too large for their root-balls. The smallest trees of a group may be stunted from some type of stress. In general, select a tree of modest proportions. Look for a tree with a balanced canopy and evenly spaced branches extending out in all directions. It is best if branches are distributed along the entire length of the trunk.
The trunks of some trees have been headed, which causes several branches to grow from just below the cut. Such a tree may appear attractive and in good proportion, but for large-growing trees, the branches may be too low and weakly attached unless most are pruned out.
Foliage growth along the lower trunk contributes to its strength. The trunk should be straight and evenly tapered from top to bottom. Ideally, the tree should be able to stand up by itself without staking. If not, it will require staking for a longer time after planting.
Avoid trees with broken branches, wounds on the trunk, poorly colored foliage, obvious signs of insects or disease, or a previous season's growth of less than six inches.
If you can't plant as soon as you get your trees home, make sure you take care of them until you can. Temporarily store all types of young trees in a shady location. Partially bury the roots of bare-root trees by digging a shallow trench, placing the roots in the trench, and covering them with moist soil or organic matter. Take care to ensure that the root-balls of B&B and container trees don't dry out.
Check Drainage
Especially if you suspect drainage problems, dig a test hole near the tree's site a few days or weeks before planting. Fill the hole with water, let it drain, then fill it again. Time how quickly the water drains. If it is less than 1-inch per hour, or if it hasn't drained completely in 24 hours, you have a drainage problem. Solutions include planting elsewhere, planting in raised beds or mounds, or installing a drainage system (consult a landscape contractor). You may be able to improve the drainage by drilling through the hardpan in the bottom of the hole. Ask your county cooperative extension office or nursery to find out about local soil conditions and probable depth and thickness of the hardpan.

ZF-9604: Action helpers with PHP namespaces do not work
The issue is Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getHelper().
I think the helper is stored in the stack as "Namespace\MyHelper", and then the code tries to access it from the stack using the name "MyHelper", i.e., without the namespace.
Actually, the problem is Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Abstract#getName.
It assumes only "_" in the name but doesn't consider names with "\".
If you extend Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Abstract and override getName(), your helpers will work. I've been using the following:
public function getName() {
$full_class_name = get_class($this);
if (strpos($full_class_name, '_') !== false) {
$helper_name = strrchr($full_class_name, '_');
return ltrim($helper_name, '_');
} else {
return $full_class_name;
BTW, the fix for issue ZF-10158 corrects this: http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-10158
That being the case, this issue should be moved or closed.
Fixed with the issue ZF-9604.

AG073: Grass Hysteria!
this wiki
Grass Hysteria! (Japanese: 禁断の森の王者!フシギバナ!! King of the Forbidden Forest! Bulbasaur!) is the 33rd episode of Pokémon: Advanced Challenge.
Episode Plot
The gang is lost in a forest - even Max's PokéNav shows nothing. Brock's compass shows different directions, adding it to May's fear. A Skarmory begins to chase them. May's Skitty goes out and May protects it, but in so doing, Skarmory grabs her and sends her away. Ash, Brock and Max go after it, but find two men blocking the path. They explain that nobody is supposed to go on the other side of the gate. When Ash mentions that May's been carried there by a Skarmory, they go to speak with a man, so they follow.
May is seen to be carried on a peak. She takes Skitty back to a Poké Ball and sees a Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur gets a flower, but begins to fall down, so May catches it in time. Bulbasaur is a bit taken back, but befriends May when it tickles May using a vine. However, a Sunflora, Weepinbell and a Vileplume defend it. The old man is being told the problem, but cannot help Ash, Brock and Max, as the Grass Pokémon will be angry. Nevertheless, they will go to see how to deal with the situation. Team Rocket spies so they plan to steal those Grass Pokémon. Sunflora uses Razor Leaf, Vileplume Stun Spore and Weepinbell Vine Whip on May, defending the Bulbasaur.
Bulbasaur attempts to calm them down, but more Grass Pokémon arrive to attack May. To protect herself, she sends Torchic to use Ember. Torchic negates the attacks and goes with May. Bulbasaur goes as well, but is stopped by a Sunflora. As the men discuss, Ash, Brock and Max leave to go get May. The men notice Poochyena barking, so the men spots the gang left. Brock, Max and Ash tackle the gate, but they have to climb the vines to get across. The vines break, so Ash and Pikachu are the only ones to go get May back. May hides, but soon has to go out due to Stun Spore. The next thing she knew, she is surrounded by the Grass Pokémon. However, Ash arrives to the scene.
Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, clearing a path for them to escape. They go (with Ash explaining that the land they are on is not for humans). Pikachu uses Thunderbolt for Ash and May to pass. While their path is blocked, Torchic calls them to go near him. Soon, they stand on an edge of a cliff. The Grass Pokémon attack, but are stopped when a Venusaur comes. Venusaur checks Ash, May and Torchic - Bulbasaur that came to May seems to have warned him that they are not for any fighting. Ash and May are taken to a waterfall. Bulbasaur gives May the flower, reminding Ash of his own. Bulbasaur grabs May with a vine, going off, so Ash goes with her.
They see the forest they have been lost in before. May sees a town and explains the Bulbasaur what it is. The old man explains to Max and Brock that the Grass Pokémon were hunted by men, so they became enraged. To prevent any damage, some people built the gate for protection. The land has some magnetic field, preventing some machines to work. Team Rocket begins to steal the Grass Pokémon. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but the attack is deflected due to the mirror. The men, Brock and Max hear the Bulbasaur being taken.
Venusaur attacks them. Team Rocket goes to take it, but Venusaur uses Vine Whip and goes to take the Grass Pokémon. Meowth switches to go forwards, making Venusaur harder to take the Pokémon back. Meowth switches to backwards, so Venusaur is knocked out. Bulbasaur is taken, so May comes as well with it. Just as the Mecha was about to grab Venusaur, the Pokémon tackle the robot's bag. Bulbasaur uses Razor Leaf, freeing all the Pokémon from the robot. But, just as the robot is about to recapture the Pokémon, Obee's Poochyena use Shadow Ball, blowing the hand to pieces.
Pikachu uses Thunder, but the attack is also deflected. However, Venusaur uses Solar Beam, blasting Team Rocket away, as the Robot wasn't able to counter it. Everyone apologizes to the Grass Pokémon for disturbance and May says goodbye to Bulbasaur. However, Bulbasaur (after some thinking) goes to May, joining her.
- Featured Pokémon: Manectric, Electrike, Mantine, Electrode.
- In the beginning of the episode, a classic Pokémon identification can be seen. In this case, it is a Charmander.
- The title is based on the phrase 'Mass hysteria'.
- This episode is featured on the Volume 1: Grass copy of Pokémon Elements.

Bridge wreck cleared, traffic flowing
Published: Monday, July 22, 2013 at 2:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 22, 2013 at 5:18 p.m.
Update: The wreck has been cleared as of about 3:15 p.m. and traffic on the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge is flowing again.
According to a Wilmington Police Department release, the incident started when a pickup truck broke down in the left travel lane heading west.
While traffic was slowing down, a motorist driving a gold Silverado pick-up truck rear-ended a dark green Honda Accord. That accident happened at 2:06 p.m.
Nobody was injured in the accident, and one motorist was transported to the hospital as a precautionary measure.
Three vehicles were towed from the bridge, and police say traffic was backed up for about 30 minutes.
No charges have been filed in the incident.
Traffic on the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge was backed up about 2:30 p.m. Monday as crews worked to clear a two-vehicle accident in the westbound lanes, Wilmington Police Department spokeswoman Linda Rawley said.
One person was taken from the scene by ambulance. The accident happened just after 2 p.m.
Rawley said motorists are advised to use the Isabel Holmes Bridge to avoid delays.

Trouble in paradise
Comedy and philosophy challenge the characters of Arcadia
By Jenny Lower 09/26/2013
Santa Paula Theater Center's Arcadia is a beautifully cast, marvelous adaptation of a witty, erudite masterpiece from one of our greatest living dramatists, Tom Stoppard, timed to coincide with the play's 20th anniversary. Unfortunately, like its underage heroine, the show may have to reconcile itself to patiently awaiting those who appreciate its full merits.
At a recent Friday performance the audience shrank slightly following the halfway mark, presumably due to the vigorous repartee and a three-hour-long running time. That's a shame because novice director Eric Stein (who completed his college honors thesis on Arcadia) has injected so much verve and intelligence into the production, the dialogue fairly crackles.
Set at the English country estate of Sidley Park, the story spans both the 19th century and modern day. The title alludes to a classical ideal of nature as idyllic, unspoiled paradise — one under threat at the play's outset, as Lady Croom (Brandy Jones) partners with a landscaper to convert her proper English garden into rambling, overgrown romantic splendor. Meanwhile, self-satisfied tutor Septimus Hodge (Alex Choate) schools his brilliant pupil Thomasina (Natasha Schlaffer) in between fielding challenges to a duel over his sexual misdoings.
In the present, peppery scholastic Hannah (Jenna Scanlon) combs through the Croom papers for her book on the collapse of romanticism. Then rival scholar Bernard Nightingale (John Dantona) arrives, hunting clues to support his theory that Lord Byron once stayed at Sidley Park. There's salacious historical gossip, a tortoise named Lightning and a swoony mathematician called Valentine (Tyler McAuliffe). The action shuttles back and forth, with present mirroring past even as both storylines tumble forward.
The script gets into some pretty heady stuff: discursions on determinism, Newtonian physics and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. It matters, but equally important are the human dynamics at play — the uncontrollable attractive forces driving Septimus into ill-advised romantic pairings and spurring Valentine to declare Hannah, only half-facetiously, his fiancée.
Still, you have to have an appetite, or at least a tolerance, for this kind of literary detective work and its tongue-in-cheek takedown of modern academia. You have to care, at least a little, about questions like whether it's possible to iterate an equation that could explain the behavior of the entire universe. If you can't dredge up even the teensiest spark, you might find all this rather slow going.
But the actors make it jolly good fun. Arcadia is one of Stein's passions, and he's clearly done serious textual work with the cast, immersing them in the language so that the jokes, exquisitely pronounced in rounded English vowels, roll off their tongues with aplomb. Scanlon's performance bristles with intelligence. Her snide rapport with the equally adept Dantona and the sweetly besotted McAuliffe inspires some of the evening's best comic moments. Across the centuries, Choate charms as the wily Septimus, while Jones runs her household with suitable imperiousness. Special notice goes to high school sophomore Schlaffer, whose lovely Thomasina achieves the perfect mix of perceptiveness and ingenuousness. Lighting and set designers Gary Richardson and Mike Carnahan have devised a look that lets us fluidly transition between the ages with nary a hiccup.
There's a reason the play, as cerebral as it is, ends with two couples dancing. The metaphysical eventually bows to the human. As Hannah says, it's not figuring out the answers to life's mysteries that's the key. "It's wanting to know that makes us matter. Otherwise we're going out the way we came in." Arcadia's questions ensure that audiences exit with more than they bargained for.
Arcadia, Santa Paula Theater Center, through Oct. 13. 125 S. Seventh St., Santa Paula. 525-4645, santapaulatheatercenter.org.

Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC)
- Date submitted: 28 Oct 2011
- Stakeholder type: United Nations & Other IGOs
- Name: Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC)
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionECLAC?s Submission to the compilation document to serve as basis for the preparation of the zero draft of the outcome document of Rio+20 These inputs are based on ECLAC?s decades? long work on development in the Latin American and Caribbean Region, including its more recent efforts to promote a sustainable and inclusive development path, as reflected in the document submitted to its 33rd Period of Sessions, Time for Equality. The inputs also reflect the results of ECLACled interagency efforts to i) assess progress and gaps in the implementation of sustainable development in Latin America and the Caribbean 20 years on from the Earth Summit, the final results of which will be launched prior to UNCSD; and ii) assess the advances in the region towards the Seventh Millennium Development Goal (environmental sustainability). 1. The principles that define and enable sustainable development have been consolidated in the Rio Declaration of 1992. The Declaration should be reaffirmed in the Rio+20 outcome document. Rio+20 must take the next step and establish concrete mechanisms that will enable the international community to overcome the barriers to the implementation of those principles, that were reaffirmed through the Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable Development and translated into action plans through Agenda 21, the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation, the Barbados Programme of Action for the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States (BPOA) and the Mauritius Strategy for the Further Implementation of the BPOA, among other instruments. 2. ECLAC identifies five factors as the main barriers to implementation: (i) failures in making the social and economic costs of environmental degradation visible and in establishing mechanisms for their internalization (as per Principle 16 of the Rio Declaration); (ii) insufficient mainstreaming of sustainable development as a driving force in public policies and failures in coordinating and ensuring coherence between policy areas, nationally and internationally; (iii) insufficient channels for public participation in decision making and for the effectiveness of access to justice and to information; (iv) difficulties in spurring endogenous technologic development in key productive sectors, in addition to the existence of barriers in access to technology (v) difficulties in financing. 3. The recent assessment of the implementation of sustainable development in Latin America and the Caribbean suggests that a significant gap lies in the lack of visibility of the social and economic costs of environmental degradation. This impedes the undertaking of accurate social cost-benefit analysis. Traditional statistics and indicators for measuring wealth and economic performance do not reflect the negative externalities of economic activities, while environmental statistics are still not sufficiently developed. The GDP does not take environmental degradation or the depletion of natural resources into account. At the micro level, traditional project assessment methodologies do not take into account the effects of pollution over the life cycle of the project. The scarce visibility of the economic and social costs of environmental degradation results in these costs not being internalized in economic decisions (including public and private investment decisions and policy), one major factor in the lack of coherence in public action, discussed below. Instruments and practices are in place worldwide which, adopted on a wider scale, would enable the effective implementation of Principle 16 of the Rio Declaration. 4. Rio+20 is an opportunity for countries to agree on schedules and timelines for: ? Developing and mainstreaming the use of indicators of economic performance and accounting methods that take account of the environment and of the cost of environmental degradation, such as systems of integrated economic and environmental accounting. Kindly note that in paragraph 10 of the Conclusions of the Latin American and Caribbean Regional Preparatory Meeting countries affirm the need for commitment on ?better ways of measuring countries? wealth that adequately reflect the three pillars of sustainable development?; ? Eliminating direct and indirect subsidies for activities that generate significant environmental or health costs, implementing transition schemes that protect the poor and other groups in vulnerable situations, and implementing fiscal and industrial policies to stimulate sustainable development; ? Implementing fiscal or economic instruments to reduce environmental and health costs and to foster environmentally friendly consumer and producer preferences; ? Incorporating environmental and health considerations into methodologies for analyzing public and private investment options, including the investments supported by global and regional financial development institutions; ? Mainstreaming the use of Strategic Environmental Assessment for public investment and policy. 5. A second gap in implementation is the persistence of difficulties in coordinating and ensuring coherence between policy areas at all levels (from the international to the local). The environment is affected both by policies directed specifically at environmental goals (?explicit environmental policies?) and by policies, including public investment decisions, aiming at other policy goals, such as economic growth (?implicit environmental policies and incentives?). Often, the effects of the latter are contradictory to the goals of the former. While substantial investments have been made worldwide in environmental institutions, measures, legislation and capacity building, subsidies and other incentives are still given to activities, products and processes that are notoriously harmful to the environment and to human health, wellbeing and livelihoods. The effectiveness of explicit environmental policies in conducting changes in the patterns of development towards sustainability is thus thwarted. 6. Rio+20 is an opportunity to issue mandates for negotiating the adoption of the following mechanisms to ensure coordination and coherence in policy-making: ? Agreed and measurable sustainable development goals and targets. The experience with the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) shows that a set of agreed goals which have the full support of governments worldwide, that are well understood by the public in general, that are widely publicized and periodically reported on, can have significant power in directing public action and thus ensuring coherence in policy making. The experience with the MDGs also shows the difficulties in measuring advances towards the agreed goals when there are gaps in statistical capacity or when targets are designed without full consideration to their measurability. Hence the need for a well studied framework, the development of which should actively engage civil society, academia and national statistics institutes from developing countries. The latter are critical in identifying the feasibility of adopting indicators for each of the agreed targets and for assessing the gaps in statistical capacity in developing countries in order to ensure adequate international assistance, when necessary. The proposal set forth by Colombia and Guatemala provides a good starting point for this process. ECLAC believes the following issues should be considered: combating poverty with equality, eradicating hunger through food security, universal access to clean energy, improving energy intensity or energy efficiency, universal access to water and sanitation services, management of water resources, atmospheric pollution in urban centers, slums, elimination of direct and indirect subsidies to fossil fuels and to activities associated to irreversible environmental destruction, financing for sustainable development and technology transfer. ? Implementing changes in international governance in order to gain coherence at the international level (between organizations focusing on different issues and among international agreements) as well as to enable the negotiation of new international agreements where necessary. One possibility for enhancing coordination and coherence at the international level is to revise the role and functioning of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), establishing sustainability as a guiding concept for its decisions. Countries could assess the establishment of ECOSOC as the development equivalent of the Security Council, placing decisions on issues such as the economic, financial, food and climatic crises. Additionally, in the revision of the institutional framework for sustainable development, due attention must be given to the importance of regional specificities, to the opportunities that exist for international cooperation among countries that are close both geographically and in terms of levels of development, and therefore to the key role that will be played Regional Commissions. Better alignment is needed between the development of normative of the United Nations and the international economic institutions, including the Bretton Woods institutions. ? Rio+20 should ensure the reinforcement of the development pillar of the United Nations Organization and its role as a core component of the Organization?s activities, budget and mandates. 7. A third barrier in implementation lies in insufficient mechanisms to enable informed, participatory, decision making processes. In addition to improving the availability and access to information, as discussed above, Rio+20 could produce a mandate to negotiate international agreements (at the global or regional level) to promote the enactment of legislation pertaining to Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration and its implementation, to be possibly, but not necessarily, based on the Aarhus Convention. 8. Finally, but not less importantly, access to technology, in the context of persistent difficulties of spurring endogenous technological development, and financing have been major barriers to implementation even when there has been political will and the institutional infrastructure and legislation have been in place. At the Regional Preparatory Meeting, countries agreed on the need for commitments on the following: ? ?effective access to and transfer of safe and appropriate technologies, without conditionalities and on preferential terms for developing countries?; ? ?the promotion of a global intellectual property rights regime that facilitates the transfer of such technologies, in keeping with the commitments undertaken by each country?; and ? ?new, additional, stable and predictable financing for supporting implementation of the sustainable development objectives in developing countries.? 9. In regard to financing, the outcome document should state clearly that the commitments of 0.7% of GNI for ODA must be fulfilled, and that resources dedicated to finding solutions for global public goods such as climate security are separate and additional to the former. 10. Additionally, Rio+20 is an opportunity to initiate negotiations on a global tax on international financial transactions, to increase resources available for development financing and with the co-benefit of reducing very short term volatility. The Plurinational State of Bolivia has presented a proposal to this effect, which will be contained in the report of the Regional Preparatory Meeting.

I think I've been looking for the perfect pair of black pants since the early 1990s. You know the ones—pants that will make me look five inches taller and 10 pounds thinner, and possibly able to give me a non-surgical butt lift at the same time. Impossible, you say? Hold that thought.
For those of you denim-ites out there who think the sun rises and sets on the right pair of jeans, hear this: Black pants are possibly the most versatile item of clothing ever invented. You can dress them up or dress them down in an instant (hello accessories!), they can just as appropriately be worn for work or on the weekends, and, when done right, they won't stretch out and bag in all the wrong places (like, ahem, jeans). What's more, you can wear a pair of black pants on a long distance car trip and they'll still look decent when you reach your destination (coffee spills and all). THAT'S the kind of versatility I'm talking about, people! Oh sure, the look of the black pant has evolved over time, but this season it's all about the skinny, cropped variety. They're chic. They're easy to wear. Not interested? Google Audrey Hepburn, circa Roman Holiday and you'll get the gist. I beg of you, run do not walk to a retailer near you and buy yourself a pair (just to recap: skinny, cropped, and, you'll thank me later, with a bit of stretch built in). Wear them with a crisp white button down shirt and a shrunken velvet blazer, wear them with a chunky knit cardigan, wear them with flats, oxfords, or ankle boots, and I DEFY you to take them off. My personal favorites of the season? The Slim Crop pant from the Gap, and the Stretch Twill Minnie pant from J. Crew.
Go! Buy! Be chic!

Four years and four million album sales after her self-titled debut album comes Corinne Bailey Rae's long-awaited second album, The Sea. For the 30 year-old singer and songwriter from Leeds, this meant politely declining the suggestions that she work with this or that big-league producer in this or that big-money studio. The first single "I'd Do It All Again," one of many highlights on album, is a sweeping, defiant declaration of love and faith. The Sea will undoubtedly elevate Bailey Rae beyond her already-considerable achievements and put her up there with the all-time greats.

Wesley College will keep photographer Robert Gingher's exhibit, "The Inmost Light" on display in the Fluman Gallery until Jan. 10.
Wesley College hosted a reception for Gingher on Nov. 29 in the Fluman Gallery located on the third floor in the College Center.
During his career, Gingher has focused on landscape, portrait, still life, and composite shots. He traveled to the outer herbicides in the United Kingdom to join fellow American and British photographers for a project. The group set out to capture the unusual characteristics of the area in both still photography and film. Ginger's collection, "Light and Stone," highlighted the rough features of the landscape and its citizens. His exhibit was featured at Greensboro College in 2011.

Cleveland has been a hive of live music for decades. The city experienced tremendous growth in the years following World War II and, with it, an explosion of live music venues. The core of this activity took place on the east side of the city, home to Cleveland's African-American population. Clubs like the Music Box, the Tia Juana, Leo's Casino and Gleason's hosted the best jazz, blues and R&B performers the era had to offer. The economic prosperity of the time was mirrored in the pulsing entertainment scene.
Following this lively scene was postal worker Jimmy H. Baynes (July 12, 1922 – September 9, 2010), who supplemented his weekly paycheck through Baynes Foto Service at 2220 East 87th Street, primarily photographing local events in the African-American community. Though Baynes was not a trained photographer, the images he created over three decades, from the 1950s into the 1980s – whether they are of weddings, beauty competitions, burlesque shows or live music performances – provide an authentic and candid glimpse into African-American life, music and culture. Throughout the years, Baynes' photographs appeared in Cleveland magazines and newspapers, such as the Call and Post.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum was fortunate to acquire some of Baynes' photographs, and now that collection of materials has been processed by the staff of the Library and Archives and is ready for researcher use. The Jimmy Baynes Collection consists mainly of Baynes' photographs and negatives taken at live music performances at Cleveland area music halls, along with some promotional materials for local performers, concerts, radio stations, record distributors and venues. The bulk of the images in the collection feature prominent jazz, R&B, and rock and roll musicians of the 1950s and 1960s, including Louis Armstrong, Ruth Brown, Aretha Franklin, Mahalia Jackson, Louis Jordan and Memphis Slim. Also included in the collection are images of local performers, radio deejays, and venues, such as Chic-a-Dee, Kim Tolliver and Fats Heard, or the Cotton Club, Music Box and Pla-mor Ballroom — some long forgotten but for Baynes' tireless work. (pictured, left: Hall of Fame inductee LaVern Baker performing live in Cleveland.)
In conjunction with recently processing the collection, the Library and Archives has created an exhibit of Baynes' photographs to help celebrate Black History Month, entitled Through the Lens of Jimmy Baynes: Cleveland Rock and Roll History, 1950s-1960s. The exhibit will run through April 2013.
Library and Archives director Andy Leach will host a panel discussion on the collection in the Main Reading Room on Saturday, February 16. The panel will feature Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum curatorial director Howard Kramer, head archivist Jennie Thomas, and special guest George Hendricks of Cleveland vocal group the Hesitations. Attendees are encouraged to share their stories about Cleveland music history and the people and places depicted in Baynes' photographs. For information on tickets, please see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's website.

v1.1 Update - Added more information on battling.
Since I can't find an RP group on FA I'll transplant some of the shit from there onto here and maybe we can have some fun. The rules went kinda long and are probably incomplete so I apologize up front.
So basically this is the PokeCombat Academy, a high class learning institution, in this case high school. It specializes in the arts, sciences, and of course considering this is Pokemon, battling. Battling is the big sport in the Pokemorph world so a lot of people take it very seriously as a career. The campus is large with all the facilities you'd expect at a high dollar private school including dormitories for the out of town kiddies. It is located in Kanto, thus all Pokemon native to Kanto commute. Those in Johto, Sinnoh, and Hoenn must reside in a gender assigned dormitory. If your Pokemorph is native to more than one region (e.g. Pikachu) then you can pick whichever region you want. Students 16 years and older can have a car.
Since this involves highschoolers in highschool and they're furries one can expect loads of drama. It is the glue that ties the RP together and thus to get it wound up fast and furious you should probably make two characters. Sex partners, friends, enemies, random blokes, it doesn't matter.
All Pokemorphs (or "mons" for short) can only use the movesets they come with in the game. For example you can't have a Kadabra using high jump kick. Furthermore they can only use four per "battle", but whatever four out of the move pool they use is entirely up to you and can change from battle to battle. There are certain stipulations for how to customize your mon for further battling goodness. I personally have chosen the simplified "elective course" route. You choose an elective class your character takes and they get certain bonuses depending on what it is:
Techniques: This course teaches your mon additional moves and lets you choose anything from the breeding/TM move pool of the Pokemon you chose.
Nutrition: A very boring class but your mon learns how to eat right, increasing "stats" and basically making your mon stronger and more resilient in a non-numerically assigned fashion.
(Kick)Boxing: The gentlemen's sport increases your mon's ability to fight with their hands and feet. Where as things like jump kick and comet punch are super powered and energy assisted, all mons can duke it out in a rousing match of fistibops regardless of type and training. This can be particularly useful for mons who rely on special attacks as they'll be able to throw a mean right cross when the going gets tough.
A.P. History: No one can pass A.P. History without some help. Depending on your character this class either increases teamwork and bonding (useful in relationships) or by bullying the nerds into doing your homework you start to intimidate the weak.
Battle Training: This is basically sparring and practice for the real thing. No unnecessary attention to detail, just raw get in the ring and work it out. Great for building up familiarity with the rules and working on strategies, it also helps you get acquainted with a wide variety of opponents. Taking this class helps increase the damage against those annoying "not very effective..." opponents.
Battling is a major part of the school and thus a major part of the student's lives. Basically there are two (okay I simplified to two) leagues inside the school; team and independent. Teams have a captain and are made up of at least 6 members, each of which is hand picked and can be rotated out for other members depending on the battle. The independent league is pretty much the overall pool of contestants. Anyone who is not in a team and still wants to compete joins the independent league. Generally speaking this consists of one-on-one battles with occasional pick up groups depending on the rules of the match. People in the independent league are usually looked down on as most of the better athletes are picked by teams. This waters it down to a bunch of misfits and losers. It does have a fierce reputation though as every competitor that is too outlandish, headstrong, violent, or too frequently breaks the rules is usually dropped from their team and starts up again in the independent.
Some arena battle experience is required of all students at the PCA in one form or another in order to graduate. Freshmen are given a volunteer senior or staff member as their surrogate team captain (called their "trainer") and compete against teams and individuals of their own age. All matches are set up according to the win/loss ratio, talent, team membership, and age. This is to help avoid new members getting steamrolled and to help build experience. High ranking teams eventually are eligible to compete in regional championships. More athletic scholarships have been awarded to PCA students than any other school in the quad-region area.
This is highschool, thus you can't be playing as a 23 year old. You have to pick a year and a realistic age (no going beyond 18-19 for seniors). The characters you make can join the Academy at any year but there are benefits for starting out as a 14 year old Freshmen; your elective courses roll over. So if you pick Battle Training for your Freshmen year you'll have Battle Training and whatever else you pick in Sophomore. Freshmen are a bit weaker and usually aren't fully evolved (e.g. you won't find a Charizard as a Freshman).
This brings me to Evolution and Legendaries. Basically there is no differentiation between a legendary mon and a normal one, the abilities and rarity of all mons are about equal. A Mewtwo walking the halls is perfectly normal and there's probably about 3 other Mewtwos in his classes. Evolution can happen any time and any where. Like in the games it happens in a few seconds but isn't cancelable by the mons themselves. Everstones can be purchased though and used to prevent it from happening.
Battling is pretty straight forward; wail on the other dude within the arena till one of you feints. Pokemorphs have evolved a survival instinct that when they're severely injured their bodies shut down all non-vital processes, allowing them to heal much faster than normal. Items like Potions can tap into these healing abilities while still conscious. As stated earlier each mon can only use 4 attacks from their movepool per match in addition to normal fighting techniques. Moves like thunder fang and such can be substituted for thunder punch if it suits your fancy but the biting and scratching moves do still exist and still count against the 4 move total if you use them in conjunction with their punching equivalents.
RPing rules are par for the course. No controlling other people's characters, no deus ex machina, no killing people without permission unless they're your own characters, and no blowing up the school etc. (that is unless the plot of the story involves a reenactment of Columbine in which case school detonation may be valid). Basically try to be adult about it and don't fuck with people and we'll all have a dandy time. I will moderate the RP but can assign other people to moderate as well. I'll be sure to announce any rule changes/moderation grants etc.

10 Reasons To Go To Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur, capital of Malaysia, whose cultural diversity and fusion of traditional and modern make this city a must-see.
Petronas Twin Towers
From this landmark of the Malaysian capital you can admire a breathtaking view of Kuala Lumpur or enjoy shopping Asian-style in the city's best mall.
Bird Park
Visitors will have a colorful experience walking around the world´s largest free-flight bird park. More than 3,000 species of local and foreign birds, among them Hornbill, Hawk, Eagle, Vulture and Peacock, all live together here. Its a natural melody for children and adults.
Central Market
This colonial building is located on the Kasturi Walk at Pasar Seni. Here, you can find high-quality handicrafts, batik prints, wood carvings, souvenirs, accessories and a food court, as well as art and performances.
Batu Caves
272 steps lead you down to this site, which is sacred to Malaysia's Hindus. Take a breath and admire the amazing natural landscape, and see the golden statues, but don't play with the monkeys because they can be aggressive.
Lake Gardens
This green oasis in the skyscraper jungle of Kuala Lumpur is the city´s most popular park. Be careful not to get lost while enjoying the amazing Orchard Garden, Malaysian National Monument and Butterfly Garden.
Menara Kl Tower
Big sister of the Twin Towers, this is the fourth tallest communication tower of the world, and a great place for a bird's-eye view of the city.
Islamic Arts Museum
This research center for Islamic Studies offers a collection representative of the Islamic world with emphasis on Asia. Among other things you can find here textiles, jewelry and calligraphy-inscribed pottery. After you see the collection of miniatures from the most famous mosques in the world, you'll want to visit all of them.
Have a rest at the end of the day and enjoy the tropical weather and Asian food in the open air restaurants here. From seafood to other Asian specialties, it's the best place to grab Malay food.
This is one of my favourite places in Kuala Lumpur. Not for its big bargains but for the Chinese atmosphere that keeps you going. It's so easy to lose track of time in its shops selling incense, gems and traditional medicines, or in its famous Chinese eateries.
National Mosque
Masjid Negara represents all 13 states of Malaysia and the five pillars of Islam. Its incredibly modern architecture and soaring minaret are great additions to the city's skyline.

Want to know how to have the best sex ever? Read on for the best advice, tips and more.
Therapist Nancy Dreyfus tells more.com,"I've become fascinated with the power of written messages to pierce our defensiveness, engender respect, inspire tenderness and provide a face-saving way for a couple who have dug in their heels to pivot." So before you fold up your arms, grab a pen and tell your partner how you really feel. Nothing spoils sex more than a divided bedroom.
Relationship therapist Deb Castaldo tells more.com, "Give your partner five loving acts of kindness per day. Focus on what you can give not what you can get: hugs, kisses, greetings upon waking, arriving home, and at bedtime and that's three already. Small acts of love and kindness each day reinforce closeness."
In her book, "Cheat on Your Husband (with your Husband)" (out in September) Andrea Syrtash suggest getting away from your kids, for more than just 2 hours. "I used to work with someone who would take her husband to cheap motels for date nights," Syrtash writes. ""The seedier the better!" she told me. Enjoying time together in a new environment will make your date a memorable one (even if you just decide to stay in and order breakfast in bed with a pay-per-view movie)."
"When we date, we often spend hours with locked lips; when we are married, we usually spend minutes (or more accurately, seconds) kissing," says Syrtash. "Before you and your husband were married, you used kissing to connect, express your feelings for one another, and heighten the sexual mood. See if you can kiss your husband for at least 30 interrupted seconds and notice how much of a spark you can create'— in less than a minute."
Experts agree that the less sex you have, the more out of sync you become with your partner. "When sex isn't working, our non-sexual physical intimacy breaks down and our threshold for getting angry with each other becomes much lower," Dr. Berman says. So have sex when you don't want to. Have it when you're tired, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, or on the floor. You'll thank us one day.

TEMPE, Ariz.— The Scholar Baller® program, in conjunction with the National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS), announced the recipients of the 2013 Academic Momentum Award, which recognizes 40 student-athletes for academic improvement, including five from Arizona State University.
"Sun Devil Athletics is extremely proud to have five student-athletes recognized as winners of the national Academic Momentum Award presented by Scholar Baller® and NCAS," Senior Associate Athletic Director of Student Athlete Development Jean Boyd said. "This award recognizes student-athletes who have overcome challenges in their lives to continue on a pathway towards growth and achievement while at ASU and in their future."
Football's Marion Grice and gymnastics' Morgan Steigerwalt were selected to the first team, while Devin Marshall of women's soccer was ASU's lone second team honoree. Women's basketball's Promise Amukamara and diving's Riley McCormick picked up third team honors.
"The student-athletes have embodied the principle of the Sun Devil Athletics Way, "Sun Devils are Relentless" and have refused to allow for their background, or challenging events in their lives to hinder their academic and life development," Boyd said. "The award is open to the over 1,000 members of the NCAA, and to have five of the total 40 recipients, and two of the 10 first-teamers be Sun Devils speaks to the character of our student-athletes in general and these young men and women in particular."
Top nominations were categorized into three teams based on each student-athlete's academic improvement and the impact each student-athlete's academic performance had on his or her classmates, teammates, academic advisors, and professors. A total of 10 male and female award recipients from NCAS partner schools were selected for the Academic Momentum Award First Team, 15 recipients were chosen for the Academic Momentum Award Second Team, and 15 recipients were selected for the Academic Momentum Award Third Team.
Arizona State Academic Momentum Award Recipients:
First Team
Marion Grice, Football, Interdisciplinary Studies, Football
Morgan Steigerwalt, Exploratory, Gymnastics
Second Team
Devin Marshall, Family and Human Development, Women's Soccer
Third Team
Promise Amukamara, Communications, Women's Basketball
Riley McCormick, Family Studies, Diving
Award nominations included stories of: overcoming diversity and persevering through academic and athletic adversity, improving grade point averages through determination and intrinsic motivation, implementing programs aimed at ending violence within local communities, actively participating in community service events including Special Olympics and Habitat for Humanity, helping children become educated about the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and dealing with financial and family related difficulties.
The NCAS is an ever-growing organization of colleges and universities that provides opportunities for current and former student-athletes to continue their pursuit of higher education, while working in the community with children to address social issues. Established in 1985, the overall mission of the NCAS is "to create a better society by focusing on education attainment and using the power appeal of sport to positively affect social change."
Established in 1995, the Scholar Baller ® movement evolved in response to concerns that the student-athlete's athletics role increasingly superseded the student role. In order to address this issue, the founding members of Scholar Baller developed a groundbreaking program to bridge the gap between education and sport utilizing student-athletes' passion for entertainment and athletics. As a result, the Scholar Baller program has produced unprecedented outcomes in student retention and academic achievement.
Each award recipient will receive an official Academic Momentum Award certificate. In addition, all nominees will receive a ThinkMan® or ThinkWoman® decal/sticker.

Children born with a DNA abnormality on chromosome 16 already linked to neurodevelopmental problems show measurable delays in processing sound and language, says a study team of radiologists and psychologists.
By strengthening the case that the deleted gene disrupts a key biological pathway, the research may lay the foundation for future medical treatments for specific subtypes of autism, along with cognitive and language disabilities.
"This study shows an important connection between gene differences and differences in neurophysiology," said study leader Timothy P.L....

The DNREC's Division of Fish and Wildlife is giving tips on what residents should or should not do if they find an abandoned fawn or any other young wild animal.
The DNREC's Division of Fish and Wildlife biologist, Joe Roberson states, "People who remove fawns from the field may not realize some wildlife facts," he said. "First and foremost, the fawn hasn't been 'abandoned' at all."
Research has shown that many fawns cared for by people have a less chance of survival once they are released back into the wild, compared to deer raised by their mothers. Fawns that are raised in the wild are able to learn survival instincts from their mothers that people cannot teach them.
Furthermore, it is also illegal for an individual in Delaware to possess a live white-tailed deer. The person may be fined and face up to 30 days in jail.

Neshama works at the Fairfax Library.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
Neshama's Choices for 1st week in February
This installment: an old favorite to listen to, a cult classic movie, a girl abducted by fairies (contemporary version), and a space odyssey with psychological underpinnings.
The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
Yes, it's been around since 2002 when I read it with delight. But the CD version fell into my hands recently and I decided to revisit it and was very glad I did. First of all, I'd forgotten a lot in the ensuing decade, and secondly, the narrator's voice is perfect, reflecting Lily's qualities of fierceness, wonder, naivete, and persistence in a Southern accent like honey itself. So here's this motherless 14- year- old with an abusive father, and a black surrogate mother/servant Rosaleen who gets in trouble with the law. Lily manages to spring Rosaleen and they head out on the lam and end up in Tiburon, SC on the faint hope that someone there might know what happened to her mother. They find deep shelter and deep challenges in a household of black sisters who sell honey and worship the Black Madonna. Lots about the nature of beekeeping, earning trust and friendship, loyalty, and eccentric spiritual practice. Very satisfying. (A note on listening as well as reading: I often read a book first, then listen to it --I spend a lot of time on the car-- and it never seems like repetition. I often hear things I just glanced over on the page, being a very fast reader, and appreciate the chance to savor the material in another dimension. Try it yourself.)
The Big Lebowski
How could I have missed this cult classic by the Coen brothers when it came out in '08? True confessions: I don't go to a lot of movies, and perhaps I thought it was too "low brow" for the likes of moi. But now along with the multitudes, I love the Dude and his hapless bowling cronies as they lurch through a crazy scheme involving a ransom and many automotive mishaps. Then there are the florid dream sequences with a touch of Busby Berkeley and a taste of Wim Wenders. Brilliant characterizations, like Walter the pontificating vet who insists on observing Shabbos though the ex-wife he converted for is long gone. A gem!
Some Kind of Fairy Tale by Graham Joyce
Christmas Eve and a weird time for an unexpected visitor. Especially if it's the daughter who disappeared 20 years ago. Tara looks very much like she did then and thinks she's been gone only a short time. Reluctantly she tells her story but doesn't expect anyone to believe it. In the nearby forest she'd accepted a ride from a man on a horse who turned out to be from the realm of fairies (though the fairies don't call themselves that) and lived with them until he released her, as promised. Her family takes her to an eccentric shrink who develops complex theories about what ails her but doesn't help. Then there's Richie, the musician boyfriend she was fighting with when she fled to the woods. He's been on a downhill path ever since. Now this all sounds very farfetched, but Joyce does an amazing job of juxtaposing the worlds of "reality" and "fantasy," as her loving but thoroughly bemused family tries to sort things out. A surprising denouement . By the way, the fairy realm sounds a lot like a sensual but heartless hippie commune. Fascinating stuff.
Shine Shine Shine by Lydia Netzer
This first novel plays with a theme that I've come across recently in other books: the link between technology and Aspergers. Here Maxon is on a mission to the moon, leaving pregnant wife Sunny to cope with her mother's dying and their 4-year-old son Bubber's increasingly difficult behavior (like father, like son--both brilliant and afflicted, though Maxon's more socialized through rigorous training). Sunny, born during a solar eclipse, has a secret. She's completely hairless but has always worn a wig. But after a car accident in which the wig flies off, she casts off convention as well, taking Bubber off his medications and out of preschool, and pulling the plug on her mother--all radical acts for sure. Meanwhile Maxon's mission is in trouble, and though he comes up with an amazing remedy with the help of his son (a hallucination?), it's a bad ending. There are cartoon elements in this book (not in a pejorative sense) like Les Weathers, the TV anchorman and neighbor who's all teeth and chin and blandishments. I read it at a bit of a remove, enjoying the imaginative constructs but not fully caught up in the story. But worth it despite.
Back next Monday.

SAFC delegation make Tanzania trip
by Kate Smith
Club kick start Symbion partnership.
A Sunderland AFC delegation, led by CEO Margaret Byrne, travelled to Tanzania last week as the club looked to kick start its football academy programme in partnership with global electricity giant, Symbion Power.
Ms Byrne, accompanied by Academy Manager Ged McNamee, Facilities Manager Peter Weymes and Graham Robinson from the Foundation of Light, met with senior officials from Symbion Power, Government ministers and representatives and civic dignitaries during the visit.
The Sunderland delegation viewed the proposed site for the first phase of the academy development, a community football facility in Dar es Saalem. They met with city officials to give them an overview of the academy project in detail, along with senior figures from the Tanzanian Football Federation to discuss the country's long-term football objectives.
The club's visit also coincided with Barack Obama's trip to the country, where the US President visited Symbion Power to launch a five-year initiative intended to double access to electricity in sub-Saharan Africa, in partnership with African countries and the private sector.
President Obama also spoke at a forum for business leaders, which was attended by SAFC's Chief Executive.
Speaking about the visit,Margaret Byrne said: "We had an incredible few days in Dar es Saalem. Meeting with the team from Symbion and seeing first-hand the proposed site for the new academy has been fantastic. There's so much goodwill for the club and what we are trying to do out here, we have been welcomed by everyone so warmly.
"Meeting President Obama was an incredible experience and certainly not something I ever expected to be doing in my role as Chief Executive of the football club, but it shows how Sunderland is starting to make real headway on the international stage."
SAFC is providing technical and practical support to the development of the football academy project, the first of its kind in the country. The project will see thousands of youngsters benefit from a joined up approach combining football, education and community engagement, harnessing the knowledge and expertise of Sunderland AFC and its own successful Academy.
His Excellency Dk. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, President of the United Republic of Tanzania and Paul Hinks, CEO of Symbion Power visited Sunderland last month, witnessing first-hand the ground-breaking work of the club's charity, Foundation of Light, as well as touring the club's state-of-the-art training base, the Academy of Light.
Sunderland AFC has established itself as one of the most recognised English clubs across Africa in recent seasons. SAFC linked-up with Invest in Africa in January 2012, affording a springboard to the ground-breaking not-for-profit initiative to promote Africa as a leading investment destination and actively challenge misconceptions about investing on the continent.
Further developing its links with the continent, the club announced recently the BFS Group Limited as its new principal partner from season 2013-14. BFS Group is the main UK operation of The Bidvest Group Limited, which is headquartered in South Africa.
SAFC also became the first football club in the world to form a partnership with the Nelson Mandela Foundation last season.

ZF-5141: Useing index on a 64-bit system
I have a little problem of useing an index in a 64-bit system. I created the index file on a 32-bit system and it works fine on the machine where it was created, on another 32-bit system machine and on a 32-bit server. When I copy this index to a 64-bit system and start a search I always get the same result, doesn't matter what was the word what I searching for. The first problem was I can't open the index, but I solved this problem with the solution what you suggest in ZF-4113, with this I can open my index and I can get the number of the indexd documents. Do you have any idea how can I fix this problem or maybe you already met this problem?
Sorry for my english, I hope I was understandable.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system. It is an unpredictable condition that can be relatively benign, disabling, or devastating. Some individuals with MS may be mildly affected, while others may lose their ability to write, speak, or walk when communication between the brain and other parts of the body becomes disrupted.
There are many possible causes of MS, including viruses, autoimmune disorders, environmental factors, and genetic factors.
Symptoms of MS are erratic. They may be mild or severe, and of long duration or short. They may appear in various combinations, depending on the area of the nervous system affected. Throughout the course of the illness, an individual may experience any/all of the following symptoms, to a varying degree:
Approximately 50 percent of all people with MS experience cognitive impairments related to their disease. The effects of these impairments may be mild, often detectable only after comprehensive testing, and may include difficulty with any/all of the following:
The symptoms of multiple sclerosis may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
Fortunately, pregnancy does not appear to speed up the course or worsen the effects of MS. However, it is thought that women who have unrecognized MS may be more likely to begin having symptoms during pregnancy. Some studies have found that MS symptoms decrease in pregnancy and increase during the postpartum (after delivery) period.
The disabling effects of the disease may make it physically difficult for the mother to carry a pregnancy. Muscle weakness and coordination problems may increase the likelihood for falls. Fatigue may worsen. Paralysis and wheelchair dependence may increase the risk for urinary tract infections.
Women in labor with MS may not have pelvic sensation, and may not feel pain with contractions. This may also make it difficult for them to tell when labor begins. Delivery of the baby may be more difficult in women with MS. While labor itself is not affected, the muscles and nerves needed for pushing can be affected. This may make forceps and vacuum-assisted deliveries more likely.
Pregnant women with MS need close monitoring of the disease and of fetal well-being. More frequent prenatal visits are often needed. There is no established treatment that alters the course of MS. However, medications may be used in pregnancy including steroids and anti-inflammatory drugs. A procedure called plasmapheresis (a method for removing toxic elements from the blood) has been used in investigative trials for treatment of MS. Consult your physician for more information.
Supportive treatment and rehabilitation for MS are especially important during pregnancy. Rehabilitation varies depending upon the range, expression, severity, and progression of symptoms. MS rehabilitation may help to accomplish the following:
