Campaign to get teenagers and bus drivers talking
Fixers: Insight into self-harm
A recent survey suggests as many as one in five teenagers may have self-harmed.
It is rarely discussed and carries a strong social taboo.
In our latest update from Fixers - the campaign that gives young people a voice - a woman from Bristol is using her own experience to raise awareness.
Watch the report here:
Foster children taking on the bullies
They were bullied at school simply because their families had broken down and they were taken into care, now they want to stop other youngsters suffering a similar fate.
In our latest update from Fixers - the campaign that gives young people a voice - two young people from Bristol say foster children are no different from anyone else when it comes to needing love, friendship and respect.

Water Conservation Program
To help preserve our drinking water resources, Wilmington has established a water conservation program. This program, which combines the efforts of both residents and the Department, decreases the amount of water that is unnecessarily lost each day. In addition to improving the water infrastructure through capital improvements, the Water Department periodically completes a town-wide leak detection survey. By identifying and then repairing these leaks, we decreased the amount of unaccounted for water. Essentially, the amount of water being wasted is decreased.
The resources listed below provide a number of methods for evaluating and then saving water both inside and outside of your home.
Wilmington also offers Water Conservation Kits to interested residents.
This is part of a joint program with the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority. Please call our office at
for more information.

I wish I had a dollar for every time I hear this question, if I did I would be a rich man. This seems to be the ultimate question for people who are trying or are about to begin to lose weight. I wish I had a simple answer for all of you, but the truth is that there is no simple way to lose weight. It's easy to put the weight on, but to take it off is a different story.
It takes hard work and determination in order to effectively lose weight. The problem I see with most diets and fads is that they're short term solutions and not effective in the long run. The reason I say this is because no one is going to count calories the rest of their lives, or drink shakes and take pills forever. Simply put, you the only REAL way to keep the weight off is by maintaining or creating a habit around your diet and exercise.
Now you don't have to go crazy and eat leaves all day long and workout like Rocky Balboa, you simply have to just watch what you eat and maintain a simple exercise routine. This doesn't mean that you have to jump into it as well, start off slow and create a habit around you efforts. Build up to the point that you get comfortable eating and exercising regularly. If you don't you will end up quitting way before you see any results.
For more information on HOW to effectively lose weight without having to go to a gym check out the following series of posts!
Wishing you all much success!

text: One of two beaches on this pretty peninsula at the northern tip of Banderas Bay, (the other is El Anclote, a little further down the road). Access is through Punta de Mita's Emiliano Zapata neighborhood, which is the first turn-off on the left, just after the turn-off to Sayulita on the right. Keep to the left and follow the road all the way to the beach. While there are no restaurants or facilities here, (although facilities were under construction when we wrote this), this is an ideal beach for strolling, for absorbing incredible beauty and tangy sea air. At a leisurely pace it can be walked in about half an hour, or an hour round trip.

Fort Hood, TX. April 2, 2014- People are left baffled after a soldier opened fire on Wednesday killing 3 people and injuring 16 before turning the gun on himself. The big question is how can this happen again in the very same complex where the 2009 massacre took place?
In 2009 a very similar situation unfolded when Nidal Malik Hasan, a U.S. Army major and psychiatrist, fatally shot 13 people and injured more than 30 others." Hasan was sentenced to die after being found guilty of 13 counts of murder and 32 counts of attempted murder.
Just five short years later on April 2, 2014 four more people are dead and 16 have received moderate to very critical injuries.
Lt. Gen. Mark Milley released a statement to reporters after the shooting on Wednesday saying, "Terrorism was not involved in the tragedy, but no motive has been ruled out." He said that, " Lopez reported suffering from a traumatic brain injury during his Iraq tour, but he was never wounded in combat."
Milley stated that, "We do not know a motive; Lopez suffered from depression and anxiety, as well as other unnamed mental conditions."
It is known now that Lopez "opened fire in a medical brigade building at about 4:30 p.m. local time. It was the same complex where Maj. Nidal Hasan carried out his 2009 bloodbath."
From there he got into a vehicle firing his .45 caliber semi-automatic Smith and Wesson while making way to a transportation pool on the Fort Hood Army base leaving a wake of casualties and injured in his path.
Once confronted by an armed military policewoman Lopez shot himself with his weapon which was found to be unregistered.
Milley said, "It was clearly heroic what she did; She did her job and she did exactly what we would expect from a US military police."'
She has not been identified.
Milley also confirmed Lopez was in fact married and had both served in Iraq and in the Army National Guard in Puerto Rico. He was being treated for anxiety and depression. He arrived on the Fort Hood base in February 2014 after a transfer from another base in Texas which remains unidentified.
Lopez was "assigned to the 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) at Fort Hood, which is a logistics and support unit." Though a specialist, he is only a junior in rank. For those who may not understand the ranking procedure that would be just above being a private first class with an equivalent pay as an Army a corporal.
Lopez was not "being transitioned out of the military" because of his mental health, according to Milley. He went on to state that, "Obviously we are digging deep into his background, criminal history."
Fort Hood is home to more than 40,000 soldiers and their families. The base was on lockdown for an extensive time, and one woman even released a home recording in the neighborhood as they were announcing through the streets for residents to take cover.You could also hear a scared child in the background as the alarms sounded.
Fort Hood officials immediately started announcing both over social media and over the base public address system for "all personnel on post to shelter in place" and to "stay away from windows and doors." You could clearly hear this in the home video, and for many that is the point where the reality of the situation became very real. The all clear did not come until after 9 pm.
There were initial reports that a domestic dispute set the officer off on a rampage, but these reports remain unconfirmed. Other reports say that the dispute actually started between soldiers. As of not no motive has been made clear.
President Obama made a statement sating,"We're heartbroken something like this might have happened again; we are going to get to the bottom of what happened." He referred to the situation as being fluid.
Obama said,"Any shooting is troubling. Obviously this reopened pain of what happened at Fort Hood five years ago." "We know these families;We know their incredible service to our country and the sacrifices that they make. Obviously our thoughts and prayers . . . are with the entire community."
Obama went on saying that, "They serve with valor; they serve with distinction. And when they're at their home base they need to feel safe; We don't yet know what happened tonight, but obviously that sense of safety has been broken once again."
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel called the shooting "a terrible tragedy." When he was quizzed about what improvements were implemented after the 2009 massacre and how this could have happened again, he only replied, "Obviously, when we have these kinds of tragedies on our bases, something's not working."
At least 4 of the wounded are in very serious condition having received gun shots to the neck, head abdomen and cheek. Several were transported to a nearby hospital in Temple, Texas, Baylor Scott & White Memorial Health Central Texas hospital.
Dr. Harry Papaconstantinou said that some of those injured were having to have the help of ventilators so that they could breathe.
At least 8 people are in ICU, and according to Dr. Glen Couchman, they are in a classification range of "stable to quite critical."
Ivan Lopez's wife who feared her husband was a victim was devastated to find out he was the shooter. They have a small child at home. She is being supported emotionally by friends on the base and also by family.
One soldiers wife has stated that she "don't feel safe."
The names of Lopez's victims have not yet been released.

Let see...
Instapaper has a free and paid version of their app. I think instapaper is brilliant and I love it and won't live long enough to read all the articles I have archived.
HomeRoutine is a really great, highly customizable app that helped keep me sane when I was home during the day with Thea and working nights and weekends. Keeping up with her and trying to remember everything I needed to get done was too crazy. I added things like "Owen's medications" and "brush hair" and then just did what the list told me. When I use the built-in timer, I want to cry I am so proud of my self. Love, love love it.
Big Picture - Of course, their pictures should be viewed on a big screen, but I still like having them to look at on an iPhone when I have down time at work.
Pandora, This American Life (for $2.99 you get their entire archive), NPR News - Get yourself a speaker dock/charger.
Kindle - You don't have to have an Kindle to download and read books on your phone. I just got a Kindle for my birthday, and they sync well. I don't really like reading books on my phone, but it is a nice to have access to them anywhere I might be, anytime. Plus, I can read in the dark which you can't do with the Kindle.
ToyCamera, OldCamera, 8mm -- <3<3<3
MacGourmet - I am in love with cooking. I have the app for my MacBook and use it alllll the time for clipping, saving and organizing recipes, and for creating menu plans and shopping lists. The iPhone app gets some mixed reviews for it's syncing issues, but I haven't had any problems. It is really useful to have when I am at the grocery store and can't remember what I was planning to make, or what I have to buy to make it. There are lots of great recipe apps. A couple more that I have, and like a lot, but use less often: Whole Foods, and How to Cook Everything
mSecure, Units, PageOnce, Mint.com, Groupon, Evernote, Tomorrow, Gift List, Alarmed, RunKeeper, Dragondiction, WorkLog, Meditator, AroundMe, CheapGas, SleepMachine, RedLaser, and Zappos are all other apps that I have, and like.
There are many ingenious apps that often end up having limited real practical use. And tons of apps that have a ridiculous clutter of features. I searched for an app that would send me reminders to drink water. I found tons of hydration apps that have enable the user to geo-tag each drink of water they take, catalog all their drinking vessles, take pictures of each incident of water consumption and post it to various social media sites, etc.etc. useless clutter. Less is more. The best apps do one simple thing well.
Good luck Roy.

This modern life
Sometimes I wake up at night thinking about bees, about colony collapse, enmeshed with exponential glacial melt and chemically dispersed oil spills, about my graying hair, and my very young child, thinking -- something has got to give -- but it actually doesn't, does it? I'm not owed anything giving. When I run, when I am running and fighting inward against it, curling my toes, my mantra is "one has no reasonable expectation to comfort" which is to say, no there is no actual basis for thinking I deserve to be or ever will be comfortable. Usually, I get preoccupied by parsing the sentence, over and over I try to make sense of it for even if it is grammatically correct, of which I am not certain, it does not immediately, intuitively make sense. I can't remember where I adapted it from, a Buddhist idea at least I know. What I find every time is, exactly as it is means exactly what I want it to mean.
Does it seem harsh to remind myself that life is harsh? It feels kind too. There is a cloying, and deeply flawed, lulling sense of entitlement about this modern life. I was recently listening to a radio story about dish-washing machine soap, how some states have banned phosphates in detergents because of their adverse effects on streams, fish, eco-systems, etc. The company of course, found it not feasible to manufacture two kinds of detergent, and began selling the same phosphate-free detergent in other states where there was no such ban in place.
The reporter was interviewing a woman who was outraged, OUTRAGED that her dishes were spotty when they came out of the dishwasher. She bought trisodium phosphate from the hardware store and mixed her own detergent. The reporter says "so you just can't do with out them phosphates?" and after she (baselessly) dismisses the science (whatever!) she answers "the dishes weren't coming clean." Ipso-facto, the world can burn! I felt a very un-Buddhist, compassion-less desire to throttle her. That sense of entitlement reminds me why I have to force myself into discomfort, why I want to be the one who inflicts it. The truth is, if I don't run I see a future of decrepitude, of aches, atrophy, and regret -- a pain far worse than the discomfort of getting out of a warm bed on a cold, dark morning. Life is going to take it's pound of flesh. I find some dignity is standing up, accepting that it will, and choosing how I give it.
My dishes come out clean so maybe I don't know much about the heartbreak of dirty dishes. I haven't checked the ingredients on my box of detergent to determine its phosphate status, so who am I to talk about sacrifice? I am not qualified, its true. It could be argued that I run for vanity as much as health. It might be true, but the truth is, what keeps me going is the fact that I have pain due me and the only thing I can do about it is decide how I take it.
This is a good example of muddy thinking. I'm still not clear, even to myself what the hell phosphate-laden streams have to do with running in the morning, but for some reason, these analogies submerge from my subconscious, conflated, to argue against doing the easy, dishonest thing. Life isn't easy. You aren't owed clean dishes. Your dishes are not more important than fish in streams. Fucking get over it. Get out of bed. Go. Run.

i support babies
i read the article...good article...raises valid points...im all for contraception and PREVENTING unwanted pregnancies. I am not for ending unwanted pregnancies though.
My crazy man: Alexander Frank...December 4 2009 (2 weeks early)
My sweetheart: Benjamin Isaac...May 21 2012 (on his due date)
This is a very real scenario. But when you are sitting in your nice comfy home with Internet access and aren't hearing voices or hallucinating, it's kind of hard to see that there are other perspectives.
And conveniently located in my house is an OB/gyn. Partial birth abortion does not exist.
I just wish people would realize that making abortion illegal will not prevent abortion. We tried it. It didn't work. Women died. The ONLY way to prevent an abortion from happening is to prevent that pregnancy from happening. Period. Shutting down Planned Parenthood won't work. Teaching abstinance only education won't work. Allowing insurance companies to deny women birth control won't work.
Women need education. Women need access to affordable insurance and birth control. Women do not need the government telling them what to do.

And if you read the research that I posted very very early in this thread you would see the because of Obamacare and it's requirement that insurance covers birth control that abortion rates could go down as much as 75%. Seems like a pretty prolife president to me.

08.29.13 / Jake Burton Featured in Snowboard Magazine
'The Way I See It' is a new column that features a different snowboard industry leader in each issue of Snowboard Magazine. The column was inspired by the 'Burton Speaks Up for Snowboarding' press release from February. This month's topic is 'The State of Snowboarding,' and Jake is the column's first contributor.

The German government will increase funds given to Holocaust survivors by 15 percent.
The new deal reached Tuesday between Germany and the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, known as the Claims Conference, means that the German government's contribution to homecare funding for Holocaust survivors around the world will rise from $156 million in 2011 to about $180 million in 2012. The allocations will rise to nearly $200 million by 2014.
"With restitution-related sources of funding on the decline, this long-term agreement obtained by the Claims Conference is vital to addressing the growing social welfare needs of aging Holocaust survivors," said Claims Conference Chairman Julius Berman. "It will provide survivors and the agencies that care for them the certainty that funding will be available to meet the anticipated growing demand over the next few years."
The Claims Conference will allocate the German government money to agencies around the world that provide in-home nursing and vital help with basic activities of daily living such as eating, dressing, bathing and other services that greatly ease the lives of elderly Holocaust victims and enable them to remain living in their own homes.
"Once again, the German government has recognized its historic responsibility to help care for Jewish Holocaust victims in their final years," said Stuart Eizenstat, the Claims Conference's special negotiator. "Over the decades, the government has demonstrated its commitment to alleviating the plight of elderly victims who need the care that these funds will provide."
Since 2004, the Claims Conference has negotiated with the German government for homecare funding, obtaining increased amounts each year.
The conference also negotiated an increase in pension payments to survivors. While previously a minimum of 18 months incarceration in a Nazi-era ghetto was the criteria for receiving payments, the German government will now review cases on an individual basis to determine if those who spent less time in the ghetto are also eligible for funding based on hardship and persecution.

Sophomore Andrew Garner Improved to 3-0 on the Season with Three Innings of One Run Moundwork Versus Alabama on Friday Night
March 2, 2012
Box Score (PDF) | Season Statistics
Junior B. Middleton Postgame Comments (Video) | Senior J. Schaffer Postgame Comments (Video)
NEW ORLEANS - It didn't look as if either offense was going to give in to the other, but the Tulane baseball team got another solid effort out of their bullpen and the timely hit allowed the Green Wave to claim a 9-7 series opening win over Alabama in front of 3,156 fans inside Greer Field at Turchin Stadium. It was the fifth straight win for the Olive and Blue and helped the 2012 edition start the year 9-1, marking the first time that a TU squad has done that since 2005.
"We got off to a good lead," said Tulane head coach Rick Jones, "they came back and tied it. We took (the lead) back and they tied it. (We) are playing a good club and they are scrapping. Fortunately we had some really good at bats that produced runs. We did make a couple of outs on the base paths that we didn't need to make and we'll address that. I thought we had a good approach at the plate most of the night and we played really well defensively. We got really good pitching performances from (Andrew) Garner and (D.J.) Ponder."
The Green Wave (9-1) got a first inning run for the fifth time this season to jump out to an early lead against Alabama (4-5) starting pitcher Taylor Guilbeau. Brandon Boudreaux doubled to right field in the first at-bat of the game to extend his hitting streak to seven games. A Nick Schneeberger single moved Boudreaux to third and an infield single from Andrew Garner scratched the first run of the game across.
Three more Tulane runs came home in the second inning, one on a sacrifice fly from Boudreaux and two more on a Garrett Cannizaro single through the right side. With the Olive and Blue leading 4-1, the Crimson Tide would put up four runs of their own in the top of the third to draw even. Taylor Dugas, Kenny Roberts, Jared Reaves and Cameron Carlisle all collected RBIs to even the game at 4-4.
Blake Crohan struck with his first home run of the season - 11th of his career - with two outs in the bottom of the third inning to push the Green Wave back into the lead. After walks to Sean Potkay and Bowen Woodson, Brennan Middleton's infield single scored the sixth run of the game for the home squad. It extended Middleton's hitting streak to seven games and the junior has plated at least one RBI in four straight contests.
The see-saw battle continued in the fifth inning when Alabama pulled even at six. Carlisle plated two more runs with a double to left center field, scoring Dugas and Reaves, ending the night for Tulane starting pitcher Randy LeBlanc.
LeBlanc left the game with one out in the fifth and was replaced by Garner, who struck out the final two batters to keep the game tied. LeBlanc ended the night with four and one-thirds innings of work, allowing six runs on six hits. He walked three and struck out two in the no decision.
"Our starting pitching - I don't think anybody on our team is really worried about that," said senior Jeremy Schaffer. "We know what those guys have and what they are going to bring to the table for the whole season and we just know they are going to be there. With the bats, it was another really good night. We're feeling good as a team right now and we just have to put this game past us, come out tomorrow ready to have another good day."
Three more runs by Tulane in the bottom of the fifth pushed the home team back on top. The inning started with singles from Woodson and Middleton, followed by a walk to Boudreaux to load the bases with one out. Back-to-back RBI singles from Cannizaro and Schaffer and a sacrifice fly off the bat of Schneeberger made the score 9-6 in favor of Tulane.
Garner (3-0) would allow just one run over three innings of relief work to earn his third victory of the season. The sophomore fanned two and allowed just three base runners before handing the ball to D.J. Ponder with one out and a runner on second base in the eighth. Ponder fanned the final two batters of the eighth and then retired the side in order - including a strikeout of the final batter - to record his second save of the season.
Alabama added a run in the eighth inning on an RBI double by Brett Booth to account for the final margin of 9-7.
Overall, the offense posted ten-plus hits for the fourth straight game and eight of their nine starters collected hits in the contest. All nine players reached base twice in the contest, including two-hit efforts from Cannizaro, Middleton, Schaffer, and Schneeberger. Cannizaro followed up his career-high RBI night from Tuesday with three more on Friday, while Boudreaux, Middleton, Potkay and Woodson all scored twice on the evening.
Tulane will look to secure their third straight series with on Saturday, March 3 when they host the Crimson Tide at 2:00 on the Turf at Turchin. The series finale will start at 1:00 on Sunday, March 4.
- This marks the first time since 2005 that Tulane has started a season with a 9-1 mark.
- Tulane has posted ten-plus hits in four straight games now.
- Eight of Tulane's nine starters posted hits, while all nine reached base twice in the game.
- Brandon Boudreaux extended his hitting streak to seven games with a double to lead off the game.
- Blake Crohan hit his first home run of the season - 11th of his career- in the third inning.
- Brennan Middleton drove in an RBI for the fourth straight game, while extending his hitting streak to seven games with an infield single in the third.
- With four multi-hit efforts, Tulane now has six games in 2012 with four or more players boasting multi-hit contests.
- Taylor Dugas of Alabama scored his 200th career run and drove in his 100th career RBI in the contest.

Richard "Groove" Holmes: Misty
Richard 'Groove' Holmes (organ)
Soul Message (Fantasy 30014)
Richard 'Groove' Holmes (organ),
Gene Edwards (guitar), Jimmie Smith (drums).
Composed by Erroll Garner.
Recorded: Englewood Cliffs, NJ, August 3, 1965
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
Richard "Groove" Holmes's version of "Misty" is certainly sunnier than most renditions of the classic tune. Its infectious joyousness transcends its posh origins and changes them into a whiskey-soaked celebration of nightlife. The musicians go with the flow as the track increasingly sounds nothing like the chord chart after it gains full momentum. When the chart is referenced, though, it stands on its own despite the completely different interpretation. One reason this rendition stands out is that the surroundings were set long before it was recorded by Rudy Van Gelder, whose presence often lures musicians into higher forms of expression. Here, his precision helps distill the live essence of Holmes in a tidy yet muscular package. From a production standpoint, Holmes also generates some progressive sounds for the era on his instrument, best represented by a series of dual-fisted chords sustained for several measures and resulting in high-end sonic clashes that echo each other. The analog effect was created prior to the digital age, and, when considering that amplified electric guitar is played here with more punch than usual on a jazz recording from 1965, the approach can be considered an example of fusion in its infancy.

Randy Polson, a senior optical engineer at the U of U took it up on himself to etch the school's logo onto a chip of silicon. The cool part? The chip is approximately 2/5 of an inch square, about 70 microns across. To put that in perspective: hat's 70 millionths of a meter, less than three one-thousandths of an inch and more or less the same diameter of a single strand of blonde hair.
A beam of electrons was used to etch the extremely detailed logo, which is no more visible than a blurry speck to the naked eye. Only a scanning electron microscope, the same devise used to create the image, reveals the entire precision and detail of the logo.
Polson noted the logo took less than hour to design, while ironically, adjusting and refining the microscope to prepare it for the process took months. Polson spends the majority of his time assisting private and university researchers use the microscope, which is mainly used for fabricating nanowires and components for non electronics in a variety of fields spanning from pharmaceuticals and metallurgical engineering.
All in all kind of mind blowing that something so detailed can be created in such a microscopic size. But the real question? What possessed Polson to do this? Stick figures apparently. "The software that came with the microscope included some stick-figure demos. I thought, 'Hey, I can do better than a stick figure.'"
And that he did.
The image magnified to be visible to the naked eye on the left, squint really hard and compare it to the single strand of my hair on the book in the photo on the right. Yeah. The logo is that big (errr, small).

Messing around with waste
Solid waste management accounts for over 50% of overall municipal budgets and manpower, but municipal authorities collect only 50% of the waste and recycle a negligible 5%. Technology and privatisation are the solutions being proposed everywhere. But public-private partnerships are turning out to be more about using public money for private profit. Is integration of informal sector wastepickers into the management of domestic and commercial municipal waste the solution?
Size matters
Size clearly matters in the hierarchy of urban agglomerations. Most programmes including JNNURM are directed at the big cities. Basic civic services including electricity, sanitation and clean drinking water for the poor in small cities and towns are abysmal, and hardly better than rural areas. The widening gap in income levels between rural and urban areas cannot be bridged without developing small cities and towns
Big city, big share
The well-planned development of small cities can help disperse rural migration and prevent overcrowding of the metropolitan centres. JNNURM funds can make much more of a difference in these smaller towns. But the bulk of the allocation under JNNURM goes to the three mega cities of Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata
Urban territories, rural governance
West Bengal has the highest number of census towns among all the Indian states -- with 528 villages reclassified as such in the last decade -- but only 127 urban local bodies. The slow process of municipalisation means that most census towns, especially those with fast-growing industry, mining and commercial enterprises, are urban areas governed by gram panchayats. Such urban territories can become unregulated free-for-alls, with low taxes but haphazard development and poor infrastructure and services
Exclusionary cities: The exodus that wasn't
Yes, the urban population increased more in absolute terms during 2001-11 than rural population. But, no, this is not because distressed agricultural workers are pouring into cities. It's because census activism has tripled the number of urban centres in Census 2011. In fact, exclusionary policies are discouraging the inflow of rural poor into the mega cities
Slowdown in urban growth
Population growth in urban India has been decelerating over the last three decades, busting the myth of an urban explosion. Most cities with populations of 100,000-plus have recorded a significant decline in their population growth, more so the million-plus cities, suggesting that they have become less welcoming to migrants. Delhi and Chandigarh recorded less than half the growth rate of the '90s, and Mumbai district has reported a decline in absolute terms during 2001-11
The invisible migrant
The city is harsh terrain for the roughly 100 million circular migrants who move around the country in search of livelihoods. The territoriality of policy renders them invisible, denied access to essential services such as housing, subsidised foodgrain and bank accounts. Urban policy needs to be re-imagined to understand the realities of migrants
The 'other' urban India
The most vibrant, people-driven process of urbanisation is occurring outside the large metropolises which dominate popular imagination. It is not directed by the state, as in Chandigarh and Bhubaneswar, nor developed by the private sector, as in Mundhra or Mithapur. It is the result of decisions about livelihood and residence made by thousands of individuals that coalesce to transform a 'village' into a census town
Transition towns
The 74th constitutional amendment has on paper devolved power to urban local bodies. But even a cursory look at small towns reveals that elected representatives have little knowledge of their powers or responsibilities, cannot read or frame budgets and fail to generate local resources for planned development. Many of these towns are still transitioning between large village and town, with even basic public services absent, particularly for the poor
The making of a mini-city
Market forces, collusion of interest and malpractice are all involved in the growth and ad hoc development of a village into a small industrial town and then into a satellite town of a global city. Nowhere is this more visible than in Dharuhera, 70 km from Delhi

Here is what the fighters had to say:
CANELO ALVAREZ, Former WBA & WBC Super Welterweight World Champion
"Erislandy Lara insulted me and my country. He insulted my ability to box, and I take that seriously. This is more than just a fight for me. On Saturday, I'm not only fighting for my honor, I'm fighting for the pride of my country.
"We're ready to fight and I'm so happy to see all these people anxious for the day to finally arrive.
"The fans are my motivation to keep winning and competing at a high level.
"There's a lot more of my story to be written so I am completely focused on Saturday night.
"Lara can get motivated however he wants, talking or not. The best man will win on Saturday.
"This fight will give me personal satisfaction. It's about fighting the best and beating the best. The media and the fans know that this is a dangerous fight and them knowing that will make my win that much better. It's a personal satisfaction to be fighting the best and beating the best."
ERISLANDY LARA, WBA Junior Middleweight World Champion
"When I arrived to the United States from Cuba, times were tough. I've built what I have from nothing. I take pride in the opportunities that this country has given me. And I'm not about to let this one go by.
"On Saturday I will trudge through the doors that my boxing skills have opened up for me and the world will know who I am .
"I feel very special to be here right now. I don't feel any pressure because I am ready to fight.
"They can say what they want Canelo is Canelo. I'm ready to fight because I believe the best should fight the best.
"Right now Canelo is my enemy and this is war now.
"I trust my trainer Ronnie Shields. He knows exactly what he is doing. Ronnie is the best trainer that I have ever had. I had great trainers as an amateur, but Ronnie is the best professionally.
"I'm fighting for my family, to put food on the table for them. No one can take that away from me."
ABNER MARES, Former Three-Time, Three-Division World Champion
"This fight is no walk in the park. Jonathan is a warrior and that's why I trained very hard. I'm here to make a statement.
"The Mexico vs. Puerto Rico rivalry lets you know this is going to be a great fight.
"I'm glad he has the mentality of the knockout, but on Saturday it is going to be my night in the ring."
JONATHAN OQUENDO, Featherweight Contender
"I'm not going to lie; I have a lot of respect for Abner Mares, but don't let that fool you. I don't feel any pressure, he's a great champ but there will be blood in the ring on Saturday, and it won't be mine.
"We have great fighters from Puerto Rico and this is for those fans who will see something great Saturday.
"The knockouts come naturally to me; if it presents itself I will definitely knock him out."
JUAN MANUEL LOPEZ, Former Two-Division World Champion
"I feel good and very confident. I'm simply a better fighter. Come Saturday night, Puerto Rico will school Mexico. Vargas better watch out.
"Everything I did in the gym takes the pressure away and makes my confidence rise.
"We've got two great countries, Puerto Rico and Mexico battling it out and I just want to prove Puerto Ricans can fight."
FRANCISCO VARGAS, 2008 Mexican Olympian & Super Featherweight Contender
"I'm ready for war, Juanma better be ready to fight a true Mexican warrior.
"I don't feel any pressure, that stuff just motivates me.
"I'm glad to have all my countrymen here and we will give them all a war."
JOHAN PEREZ, Interim WBA World Junior Welterweight Champion
"I know what I have in front of me. Mauricio is a tough, aggressive fighter and we're going to give a great fight.
"Make sure you don't miss my fight Saturday. I'm going to be his problem, not Danny Garcia."
MAURICIO HERRERA, Junior Welterweight Contender
"I'm coming off of a controversial loss, and I'm not about to let that happen again. I'm going to come out victorious on Saturday night and no judge will think otherwise.
"We're going to go through Johan first before worrying about another chance at Danny Garcia.
"Johan is the guy in front me and I'll show all of you a great match on Saturday."
OSCAR DE LA HOYA, President and Founder of Golden Boy Promotions
"Fights like these are all for the fans, that's why we're in this business. The match-up between Canelo Alvarez and Erislandy Lara is going to be explosive and everyone in attendance and watching on television will witness the heart and will of two true champions.
"When the final bell sounds on Saturday night, there will not only be a winner in the ring but the fight fans will walk away the winners as well because they will have seen boxing at it's best.
"Make sure you get there early for fireworks in the ring.
"Top to bottom, this card is going to be explosive.''
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Over the Christmas holiday I went home with my boyfriend to spend time with family. Luckily, we both come from the same place so it makes holidays much less stressful since we live across the country from loved ones.
From the time we met, my boyfriend and I not only wanted to get to know each other, but we took an interest in who is important to us. I had met and spent time with most of his family and friends, but there were a few people I hand't gotten to meet. One of which was his grandmother on his father's side. She is bound to a nursing home with Alzheimer's. It's a truly terrible disease. My boyfriend said, "She''l have no idea who you are." I said "I know, but still I'd like to meet her since she is someone who has been an important part of your life."
So I went to the nursing home with his family, who brought an ice cream cake and some presents in honor of her birthday. Nana was silent. She expressed herself with sweet half smiles and through "headbutting" her children (touching foreheads, but referred to as that by his aunt). Cards were read and gifts were opened. Tons of cake was had by all. Although it was a little sad that Nana didn't know who anyone was, the heartwarming thing was how much love was present in the room. What I learned is that so many things can be stripped of us in this life; our minds, our bodies, our ability to function normally, but the one thing no one can take away is love. No matter how far a mind may be gone, or how far we may have drifted from our true selves, we can always feel love. It's a magical energy, one that can neither be created or destroyed - it just exists differently sometimes.

Bond has been denied for the 17-year-old student accused of shooting four of his classmates and another person near D.M. Therrell High School in southwest Atlanta.
Wednesday a Fulton County Court judge denied bond for Marcellus Brooks who faces five counts of aggravated assault in the Tuesday after school shooting. While his face was shielded during his morning court appearance, Brooks will be tried as an adult.
Channel 2 Action News was among the news media obtaining the names and ages of the victims all who were all transported to Grady Memorial Hospital after the Tuesday shooting. They are: Domonic Clark, 17, Trevion Morgan, 18, Tekevious Redding, 17, Morgan Evans, 15, and Lamarcritus Wilson, 20. Atlanta Police said their injuries appeared to be non-life-threatening. But later Tuesday one of the victims' condition was changed to critical and the other four victims were listed in stable condition.
While the shooting did not occur on school property, the school was still placed on lock down. Atlanta Public Schools officials say the five people were shot near Panther Trail and Childress Drive. Authorities are still investigating the shooting with no real motives and no gun has been located. But according to students and a parent interviewed by 11Alive News, the incident begin as a "fight that never really happened", but instead escalated to a shooting.
Senior Trevion Morgan, one of the shooting victims released from the hospital, told CBS Atlanta News that he through he was going to die. The 18-year old was shot in the chest and the bullet went in and out of his chest grazing his arm. Morgan said, "Yeah I was going to watch the fight. That's what I thought. But than I heard gunshots and that's what happened. I'm glad I'm still here thought."
This is not the first time for the Atlanta teen to face serious charges involving a gun. According to Fulton County Superior Court records, Marcellus Brooks pleaded not guilty less than a week ago to a felony robbery charge in connection with a March 29th incident handled by MARTA Police. According to jail records he was released after 15 days on $8,000 bond and was set to go to trial on that case in August.
The 17 year-old returned to school only to find himself involved in another violent case. Brooks is scheduled to appear in court on May 28th for a preliminary hearing in this recent shooting.
In the meantime, Therrell High School officials have banded book bags for the remaining of the school year as students returned to classes Wednesday with a heighten police present, many questions and speculations as to what really caused the Tuesday afternoon shooting.

Kidneys are important blood-filtering system for producing urine and at the same time removing metabolic wastes and toxins. It also have endocrine functions to help regulate blood pressure and red blood cell production.
When kidneys lose the abilities to remove excessive water and wastes, regulating blood pressure and red blood cell count, renal failure develops and there are some diet restrictions for slowing down illness progression and reducing burdens to the kidneys. One diet restriction is coffee and it is better that renal failure patients should cut back coffee intake or eliminate it all together for the sake of their kidney health.
For those that have normal kidney functions, drinking moderate amount of coffee may not cause any damages to their kidneys and they will not develop renal failure even when they drink a lot of coffees occasionally. However for those that have already developed renal failure, drinking coffee does have certain impact on worsening their kidney functions.
Coffee contains rich potassium which should be limited to renal failure patients due to low GFR (glomerular filtration rate). Kidney failure often cause high blood potassium level which can cause arrhythmia or even threaten the patient's life, therefore some high-potassium foods should be avoided or at least limited.
Coffee also contains rich caffeine. Too much caffeine intake may cause or worsen kidney problems. Drinking more than 1-2 cups of coffee can cause unpleasant side effects for renal failure patients.
Coffee has diuretic property and it can increase urine output and cause dehydration and further elevate already high creatinine levels.
Coffee can affect the patients' sleep quality and this will worsen their fatigue and general sick feeling.
Coffee contains one essential oil which can cause the accumulation of toxic materials in the blood vessels and further damage the weak immune system.
For renal failure patients caused by polycystic kidney disease, coffee should especially be avoided because it can promote the secretion of more cyst fluid and cause the cysts to experience rapid growth and worsen renal functions.
In a word, it is better that renal failure patients should avoid coffee which can elevate creatinine level and worsen their kidney damages. Besides, other caffeine-containing foods and drinks such as chocolate, cola, strong tea should all be avoided or at least limited.
Drinking more water if patients do not have swelling and high blood pressure, cranberry juice, nettle leaf tea are all good substitutions for coffee.

This October 12 (Saturday 2013) I'll be at the ever-growing and amazing Sacramento Freethought Day at William Land Park. I will also be attending the donor's reception the night before. And doing a panel. And the day of the festival they'll be auctioning off a piece of unusual Richard Carrier memorabilia.
Here are the details…
Reception: Friday (11 October) from 7-9pm. Many of the next-day's speakers will be there besides me, and other special guests (from Annie Laurie Gaylor and Heina Dadabhoy to the hilarious comedian Keith Lowell Jensen, who will perform during the reception, as will singer Shelley Segal). Must donate $75+ to attend. Details here. (Remember to scroll all the way to the bottom there for all the info; the pictures in the middle are from last year's reception, which was also great).
Tabling: Saturday (12 October) from 11am to 6pm (except when I'll be on stage) I'll be at a table selling and signing my books. Stop by to say hi if you like. I'll be sitting alongside other authors, too (like David Fitzgerald, whose new book on The Mormons is the best thing you'll ever read on the subject). Whether I'll be able to take credit card sales will depend on whether we get a reliable wifi set up, which is still up in the air, but I'm hopeful. I'll have a few more titles on hand than on display, so if there is something you want and you don't see it, feel free to ask if I've got one to sell. My entire catalogue is here.
Panel: That same day, from 4pm to near 5pm, I'll be on stage on a panel of several authors and podcasters, taking questions from the audience on things fun or serious. Details here. There will be other things going on at the Festival, too. The schedule isn't up yet, but it will be soon; for now, you can see who's likely to be there among speakers and entertainers. There will be stuff for kids, too (thanks to Camp Quest West!).
Auction: Okay, now the weird thing. I'm giving up a piece of my past. To help pay for this year's Freethought Festival, I'm offering up an item for auction (there will be a bid sheet at or near my table all day; I don't know yet when bidding will close, but it should say on the bid sheet the day of the event). What item, pray?
Here's the official description (which someone will likely read to the crowd during the day):
"This is a rare treat. In fact, it's unique. We have here a book by Christian fundamentalist Benjamin Wiker, a book Richard Carrier has described as the Mein Kampf of the Christian Right. The title says it all: Moral Darwinism: How We Became Hedonists. All meant pejoratively, of course. This scary fundamentalist treatise even has a foreword by none other than the Discovery Institute's golden child, William Dembski, and it was also endorsed by several other major figures in Christian fundamentalism, establishing that this book is not on the fringes but a real mainstream fundamentalist view of atheists and Western history. It makes an entertaining, if scary read, because of it.
But that's not the special thing. The special thing is that this specific volume, which the highest bidder will win today, was bought by Richard Carrier in 2003. He planned to write a comprehensive rebuttal, but never got around to finishing it. In pursuit of that project, he extensively annotated the margins of nearly every page. He has also now signed the book with an explanation of his penciled-in notes from ten years ago [back when Freethought Blogs didn't even exist!], including an offer to anyone who wins this book today that they can also get his computer files of his uncompleted critique, which supplement his handwritten notes throughout the book.
This is a real piece of history. And Dr. Carrier is at last giving it up to posterity, to help support Freethought Day with whatever money it can raise.
I hope whoever wins it keeps it safe (since it is definitely a unique piece of minor history), or does something useful with it all (like finish my critique and publish it with my blessing?). It would even be cool if you later donated it for auction at another freethought event (like a national or local convention somewhere, or anything). Otherwise that little scribbled up book would just sit on my bookshelf serving no use.
And remember, whatever you pay for it, it's for charity: it all goes to pay the expenses of the Freethought Festival. So it's not just the item you're winning.
[If you can't attend but want to make an offer for this item to whoever wins it at auction, email me and I'll put you in touch with the winner afterward (if they are interested; they might not be).]
So that's all the stuff I'll be involved in.
But there's some other stuff, too…
Secular Lobby Day: Earlier that Friday (the 11th), if you want to lobby state and federal legislators (no, seriously, for real), you can. They'll train you and take you there. I won't be there for that, but if that sounds like something you'd be keen on, check it out. Details here.
Volunteers Dinner (and So Much More): Though I won't arrive until Friday, the previous Thursday night (the 10th), at 7pm, is a special dinner for volunteers. They can always use volunteers at the event. If you might be interested in that, or donating money to help fund the day, or donating items to use or raffle or auction, or tabling or sponsoring as an advertiser, or even just spreading the word about this event, check out all the options here.
Registration for the Festival all Saturday is free, but donations of any amount at registration are appreciated, and registering online helps them plan better. Details here.

Bourne Supremacy Showtimes and Tickets
Read Movie Reviews about Bourne Supremacy Write a Movie Review for Bourne Supremacy
Dvd Release Date: 2004-12-07
Genre: Drama, Action/Adventure
Rating: PG-13
Duration: 1hr 48min
Two years ago, Jason Bourne thought he had walked away from his past. But now, his past is about to return. Bourne and Marie have maintained their anonymous, underground existence at the cost of permanence. Fueled by splintered nightmares and haunted by the past he cannot remember, Bourne moves Marie from city to city, trying to remain one step ahead of the threat implicit in every unexplained stranger's glance, every "wrong number" phone call -- that at any second, without any warning, he might get pulled back into the world he hopes he left behind. When an operative appears in the sleepy village that has been their latest home, Bourne and Marie collapse their lives and head out. His past at the door, their only chance now is to run. But once a line is crossed and the stakes in a new global game of cat-and-mouse are raised, the Jason Bourne created by Treadstone -- the covert, now dismantled operation that spawned cold-blooded, professional assassins -- returns. Two years ago, Bourne walked away from the deadly world that created him with a promise of retaliation should anyone attempt contact. Now that that world has indeed come calling, Bourne intends to keep his word. They should have left him alone.

Veggie Tables - Three Weeks In
Monday, December 17, 2012
I'm digging this vegeatiran thing. I have Morningstar HARMS at least once a day, out of necessity. When I get comfortable and figure out some different stuff to do for lunch at work (which for me happens at midnight) then I'll start incorporating some more variety into the mix.
The most wonderful thing the switch has done for me so far is made me exceptionally conscious of what I put in my facehole. I have to plan ahead wherever I go, and my portions are so very different, i.e. SMALLER. It has also changed how I look at food- breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc. I enjoy variety so I end up going with lower calorie options. I haven't eaten an entire bagel in a sitting in the last three weeks- I'll eat half of it with yogurt or fruit. I don't care about food combinations anymore either. Tonight I finished up leftover spinach lasagna (which I made myself) and paired it with some squash and a few pretzels. It wasn't a conventional dinner, and I don't care. I'm hitting my calorie and protein goals daily, and though I feel like I'm grazing a little bit, it's all things I've planned on eating and packed to stay on target.
I'm so conscious and worried about becoming a carb-itarian that I end up making way better choices than I used to. I recently wrapped up classes for the fall semester, and I'll begin my thesis when spring hits. By this time next year, I'll be completely done with school forever- unless I go back for my doctorate in a few years, but that doesn't count.. I'm looking forward to working out again, but Stella hasn't gotten her groove back just yet. I need to get my game face on, as our zombie race is only three months away now!
Anydangway- I'm liking it so far. I have no desire to eat meat, but it was never a problem in the past. I really feel like I may have found something that's going to work for me for a very very long time. And that makes me happy. The weight loss has tapered down- I'm no longer losing a pound a day, but I'm still the lowest I've been all year! Wrap it up- I'll take it.

Cool blog! Glad it is working out for you and kudos on avoiding the carb-itarian trap that many beginner veggies fall for. Oh, pasta.
Have you tried playing with tempeh yet? If you flavor it up a bit, it could be a healthier substitute for the morningstar harms (grin) choices.

Google adds speech recognition to Chrome beta
Also adding 3D CSS
SOFTWARE HOUSE Google is updating its Chrome web browser to add voice recognition.
The latest build of Chrome beta features support for the HTML5 speech input API, which Google has been working on with the HTML Speech Incubator Group.
The API will allow developers to write web apps for Chrome in HTML5 that allow full speech recognition at the click of a button. The transcription occurs on a speech server after the sound is recorded.
We tested out a demo of the speech recognition option, which works very similar to that within Android. The first thing we noticed is that it's pretty fast, returning text transcriptions within a second of inputing speech.
It recognised "hello" and "how are you". When we said "The INQUIRER" it gave us "the enquirer". We said "for all your technology news" and it returned "phone technology", which suggests it might still be a little rusty around the edges.
Of course, the nature of speech recognition software means that the faster you say something and the more of an accent you have the less likely it is to pick it up accurately. We tried the last phrase again in a slow monotone voice, which it picked up accurately. This might satisfy some, but we still dream of a day when we can talk normally at a reasonable pace while the computer picks it all up completely accurately.
Google is also adding a GPU-accelerated 3D CSS feature, which allows developers to render 3D effects in CSS on web pages. µ
