Deserts represent
one-fifth (20%) of the land surface of the world.
The majority of deserts are in
the Arabian Peninsula, Australia, The Americas, North and South Africa,
India and Pakistan.
The largest desert is the
Sahara, in North Africa, and is about 3,500,000 square miles.
Deserts are characterized by extreme heat and dryness, very hot in the
daytime and chilly or even cold at night.
The average temperature is 100
degrees during the day and below 50 degrees at night.
The wettest desert does not get
more than 10 inches of rain a year.
A variety of plant and animal
species live there, thanks to their power to adapt to the harsh
environment. Camels, for example, are able to store large quantities of
water in their humps.
Animals like rattlesnakes and scorpions spend most of the day
underground but come out at night to eat and hunt.
Spade foot toads spend 9 months
of the year underground.
Deserts often get their names
like "Death Valley" or "The place from where there is no return" because
of their extreme conditions.
-The desert
is often very hot in the daytime. At
night, it may get somewhat chilly, or even cold.

Nov. 14, 2009
PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) - Kevin Prince threw for 314 yards and ran for a touchdown as UCLA beat Washington State 43-7 on Saturday.
Chane Moline ran for three touchdowns as UCLA (5-5, 2-5 Pac-10) kept alive its hopes of getting a bowl bid. The Bruins have games left against Arizona State and Southern Cal.
Washington State (1-9, 0-7) lost its seventh straight game, and was held to just 181 yards, while giving up 556 yards to UCLA. Quarterback Marshall Lobbestael, starting in place of injured Jeff Tuel, was intercepted on his first three series. The Cougars were playing their first home game in a month.
Prince, who suffered a concussion and missed the second half of last week's victory over Washington, completed 27 of 40 passes and ran for 76 yards.
Lobbestael on the third play of the game threw an interception to Akeem Ayers. On UCLA's first play from scrimmage, Prince threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Taylor Embree. The Cougars have yet to lead in regulation time this season.
On WSU's next possession, Lobbestael was intercepted by Rahim Moore, who leads the nation with nine picks. But the Bruins had to punt.
Lobbestael was intercepted by Ayers on WSU's next series. Moline punched over from the 2 for a 14-0 UCLA lead. WSU has been outscored 159-3 in the first quarter this season.
Prince scrambled 68 yards for a touchdown early in the second quarter. The Bruins also picked up a safety.
Kevin Lopina replaced Lobbestael midway through the second quarter. He ran 36 yards late in the second quarter, but fumbled the ball on the tackle to kill WSU's best scoring threat of the half. Kai Forbath turned that fumble recovery into a 38-yard field goal to give UCLA a 26-0 halftime lead.
Jeffrey Solomon caught a 46-yard touchdown pass from Lopina late in the third quarter to put WSU on the scoreboard. But Prince marched the Bruins 81 yards on the next series and Moline ran over from the 7 for a score. Moline ran 16 yards for another touchdown in the fourth.
Lopina completed 7 of 14 for 102 yards.
UCLA's 43 points were the most this season for the Bruins, which came in averaging just 20 points per game. Washington State ranks second from the bottom nationally in scoring, averaging just 14 points per game.
Tuel injured his knee in last weekend's blowout loss at Arizona.
UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel has never lost to the Cougars in seven outings as a coach.
UCLA Game Notes vs. Washington State
- UCLA's 556 yards of total offense is most since Bruins tallied 624 at Stanford in 2007

- UCLA's 43 points were the most a Bruin team has scored since 2007 when they defeated Washington 44-31
-Danny Rees recorded the first punt of his career in the 4th quarter. The punt was downed at the 2-yard line (37-yard punt)

WALNUT CREEK, Calif . ?C University of Arizona womenˇ?s tennis captain Danielle Steinberg was honored Monday as the Pac-10 Conference Player of the Week for the week of Feb. 4-10.
Steinberg, who is ranked No. 46 in the ITA collegiate rankings, went unbeaten in her two matches this past weekend. Playing out of the No. 1 position on Saturday, the junior cruised to a 6-0, 6-2 victory over Lucy Forward of Houston. Steinberg was challenged Sunday, but still managed to drop No. 32 Florida International's Liset Brito in the No. 1 position match, 7-6, 2-6, 6-3.
This is the second time Steinberg has been honored as player-of-the-week. It is also the second all-time accolade for the Arizona womenˇ?s team.
The team is currently 5-1 and ranked 39 by the ITA.
Steinberg and the Wildcats will be in action on Friday as they host the Long Beach State 49ers and Saturday will they play Sacramento State.

Closing an elementary school, reinstituting 4-year-old kindergarten and increasing class sizes are among the recommendations being made by a School Board subcommittee in an effort to help close the Elmbrook School District's projected $16 million budget gap over the next five years.
The panel - made up of parents, board President Tom Gehl and other residents - this week presented its final report and recommendations to the board after six months of deliberations.
Two options on the table
The recommendations boil down to two courses of action.
In one scenario, the district would close one of its smaller elementary schools, reinstitute 4K, increase average class size by one student, increase the amount of Open Enrollment seats in the district and transition Chapter 220 students to Open Enrollment students.
The second scenario is similar to the first, but it doesn't call for closing an elementary school.
The first option is projected to account for about $16 million in savings and revenues through the 2014-15 school year, while the second option would save about $14.3 million.
Under both plans, the changes would be phased in, starting in 2011-12.
The team also broke down the financial impact of proposed changes individually. For instance, reinstituting 4K would bring about $1,700 per student to the district, while closing one of the district's smaller elementary schools would save about $1 million annually.
Not a permanent solution
But the panel's report also says those actions - either individually or a combination thereof - are only temporary measures and "cannot solve the budget gap for more than a limited period of a few years."
The best way to do that, the report says, is to match the rate of increase in wages and benefits for represented and nonrepresented staff with the rate of increase in school district revenues.
The average increase in benefits and wages in the district is about 4.1 percent, while revenues can only grow by about 2 percent a year.
Keeping those two figures in line would "address well over half the projected budget gaps on an annual basis, without eliminating one teaching position, increasing one class size, closing one school, adding one tax-supported program or eliminating one co-curricular offering or program," according to the report.
Officials to review report
Superintendent Matt Gibson said the study team's charge was to find ways to bridge the projected budget gap in the next five years while also maintaining the district's high-quality educational services and programs.
The board will spend the next several months discussing and potentially taking action on the recommendations, but Gehl reminded board members that the proposals "are not any kind of permanent fix for funding issues" in the district.
WHAT: Elmbrook School Board work session and discussion of Enrollment Management Study Team recommendations
WHEN: 7 p.m. Tuesday
WHERE: Central Administration Office, 13780 Hope St.
INFORMATION: The School Board will continue discussion of the study team's recommendations at its next meeting, 6 p.m. Aug. 24.

Stopping Gleevec
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
I have been with CML for the last 6 years, the last 2 years I have been on Remission. A few months ago I stopped Gleevec for 21 days and I felt much better, my Anemia disappeared.
Now my oncologist is planning to stop Gleevec for 2 o 3 months.
Has anybody stopped Gleevec for a long period and what has been the outcome?
Please, advice

Do a Google search for the STIM (stop imatinib) trial. The trial was done to take people who had been on Gleevec and were CMR for over two years and stop their treatment. Most people relapsed within a few months, but some didn't and were able to hold their remission. Of the ones who did relapse, I believe all were able to restart Gleevec and regain remission. The key to this is that you must be very closely monitored. I think the protocol is PCR every month. If your PCR numbers start to go back up, you have to go back on treatment.
Good luck. Please keep us up to date how you do with this, many of us are very interested in this topic.

Hello: TKIGuy:
Thank you for your reply. I will most definitely keep everybody inform as how I will be doing with stopping Gleevec.
Thank you

I have been on Gleevec for 10 years, and in CMR for 7, but I do not want to try to take a vacation from my Gleevec. I admit that I still get a lot of side effects, and realize how strong Gleevec is. Unless, I am forced to stop it for some reason I will keep taking it.
I have always felt blessed that it worked for me when there was nothing else available when diagnosed in 1998. I did the Interferon and ARA-C Shots that only started to destroy my liver. I was not a candidate for a BMT, and then there was the Gleevec Trial availble. I just started year #13 Living with CML

hello there I believe I have the answer you're looking for. I was diagnosed with cml in january 2010 I had a white count at 370,000 and was admitted to the hospital where I spent 3 weeks and was released taking gleevec.My body responded well and I was in complete remission within a month. The side affects of the meds was horrible and made me sick all the time so after 2 months of treatment I quit. At first I felt better than I had in years and started to enjoy life again but I was not stupid enough to believe there wouldn,t be a price to pay. I kept feeling good until around october 2011 and then started going down hill. In december I had my blood checked and my count was over 100,000 and gaining about 5-10,000 a week, I still refused to treat it and now I am still active but have little energy and throw up alot and can feel my body shutting down as I know my time is almost up. I,m 35 and I'm not afraid to die so the good time I had was worth it to me but you have to ask yourself if you are ready to die because if you value your life then you better quit messing around and go back to treatment because I know how great you feel now but I can assure you that it won't last and you will die. If you think of any more questions I'd be happy to answer them as I know there aren't a whole lot of people that have done what I have

I had a terrible allergic reaction after 4 months on Gleevec. Yesterday my Dr. took me off and will evaluate my acute skin condition in two weeks, meanwhile he is applying for Sprycel for me to try. I really fought them taking me off Gleevec but I was told my allergic skin condition could kill me. So I'll know in two weeks if my skin improves...but of course two days off Gleevec it is much better and then try the Sprycel. I'm really worrked...what if it doesn't work?
|View More Posts Ignore
In addition to Spricel there are some other drugs for CML, therefore you can try others if Spricel doesn't work.
In my istance I stopped Gleevec because it helps my Anemia and Diarrhea, and also because several studies says that if you have been on remission for 2 yrs. it is possible.
My very best for you

I am so sorry to hear of the way things have gone for you and I worry that you have not been treated properly or have not learned enough about CML. Perhaps you are truly ready to die and you are content with the path you have chosen, but there are things you have said that don't make sense or are incorrect and I hope somewhere along the way there was a Dr telling you this, even if you did not want to listen.
You claim that after 1 month on Gleevec you were in complete "remission", that is not possible. There is no such thing as remission with CML when you are on TKI therapy, there are various levels of response. The first level is a complete hematological response, which often occurs within first few weeks to few months of taking Gleevec. This level of response means your blood counts have gone back to normal, but it has little to do with leukemic burden. There are other tests such as FISH and PCR tests along with bone marrow biopsies that tell the real story of how we are doing while on therapy. It often takes months to a year or more to acheive a major molecular response where someone is considered to have minimal residual disease and even then they still need to take drug to keep under control. I'm sorry Gleevec made you sick but considering how long you took it, it does not sound like you gave it enough of chance (often side effects settle down over time), not to mention you do not talk about dosage adjustments that could have helped, other drugs to help with side effects like nauseau, and the fact there are a number of other drugs for treating CML besides Gleevec (Sprycel and Tasigna) that could help you and not cause the side effects you were experiencing.
If you just want to give up, that is certainly your choice, but I really hope someone explained all the options to you because from your post it sounds like you do not know much about CML and that is a shame this day in age for a patient to not understand all the options available to them. I urge you to reach out to a CML expert at a major cancer center for a consultation. It may not be too late for you and there is a chance another drug could save your life and allow you to live with an acceptable quality of life.
And just to be clear, your experience is nothing like the original poster who has been in treatment for over 6 years and has seriously knocked down the leukemia. Research shows that TKI drugs most likely don't kill the leukemic stem cell, but there is a growing school of thought that it may not be necessary to kill it if the body can learn to keep the disease in check on its own. There have been people who after years on treatment were able to stop and did not relapse. In your case, you were on treatment for a few weeks, that is completely different from cequi.
I truly hope you seek out another opinion and consider trying another treatment option.

Note to TKIGuy;
You definitely got it all wrong, I DID NOT GO INTO REMISSION AFTER 2 MONTHS. I repeat I had been on Gleevec for 6 years and on Remission FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. There are many reports that declare a good possibility of stopping Gleevec under certain circumstances and with certain people. Still is a phase under strict

When most people talk about marketing, they talk about broad, strategic tactics focused on large groups of customers or potential customers. Adwords, banner ads, print ads, email marketing – these are all common tactics used by many businesses to market their products and services.
It's easy to forget that some of the most important marketing opportunities arise when you deal with customers or potential customers one-to-one. The one-to-one marketing opportunities (while providing customer service, answering email, talking with people on social networks) are sometimes far more valuable than broad marketing tactics. Here's why:

The Evolving Role of the IMF and the Reduction of Poverty
Graham Hacche
Deputy Director
External Relations Department
International Monetary Fund
Speaking Notes Prepared for World Council of Churches — World Bank — IMF Meeting
Geneva, February 13-14, 2003
1. Introduction
Let me first say how much we from the International Monetary Fund appreciate this opportunity for dialogue, and also your hospitality. I know that the Managing Director of the IMF attaches great importance to our dialogue, and I am sure that it will lead us to a better mutual understanding of our experience in our different spheres of work, and of our points of view. As the WCC representative, Rob van Drimmelen, said in his opening remarks, our dialogue calls for us to listen, to explain, to seek common ground, and also, if and when necessary, to agree to disagree. In fact, I heard in what he said much that was promising in terms of common ground. In the past, the IMF has probably had more dialogue and interaction with the Roman Catholic Church than with the Protestant churches, and the time is surely ripe for us to begin discussing our work with the World Council of Churches, the main international organization of Protestant churches.
2. The Constant Purposes and Evolving Role of the IMF
It is my pleasure to say a few words on the evolution of the work of the IMF, particularly in relation to poverty reduction.1 As you know, the Fund, like the Bank, was established as one of the institutions of global cooperation at the end of World War II, and after a period of destructive economic nationalism between the two World Wars—a disastrous experience, which showed the problems that can arise for the world if countries pursue inward-looking, protectionist, "beggar-my-neighbor" policies. This was an experience that should not be forgotten as we deal today with the challenges posed by globalization and open-economy policies that have brought prosperity to so many.
The Fund and Bank were born at a conference of allied governments at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire in July 1944. Forty-four countries were represented at the Conference, and they drew up Articles of Agreement that defined the purposes and functions of the IMF. The Fund's purposes, set out in Article I, are exactly the same now as they were then. They are:
· First, to promote international monetary cooperation, exchange rate stability, and orderly exchange arrangements. (This refers, in particular, to the need to avoid "beggar-my-neighbor" currency devaluations harmful to other countries, which had occurred in the 1930s.)
· Second, to assist in the elimination of exchange restrictions which hamper the growth of world trade. (Again, this refers in part to the need to avoid "beggar-my-neighbor" restrictions on foreign exchange transactions. Note that this refers to restrictions on current account—mainly trade—transactions, not capital flows: there has never been anything in the IMF's Articles to forbid or discourage controls on capital flows.)
· Third, by facilitating the balanced growth of world trade, to help promote, as primary objectives of economic policy, high levels of employment and real income, as well as economic development.
· Fourth, to help member countries with balance of payments problems solve them "without resorting to measures destructive of national or international prosperity", including through the temporary provision by the Fund of financial assistance. As Article I puts it, the IMF's purpose in this respect is to "give confidence to members by making the general resources of the Fund temporarily available to them under adequate safeguards, thus providing them with opportunity to correct maladjustments in their balance of payments without resorting to measures destructive of national or international prosperity..."
These are still the statutory purposes of the IMF. And they have become increasingly vital over the past almost 60 years, not least because increasing international economic integration—"globalization"—has raised the importance of international economic cooperation. But the work of the Fund today is quite different from its early years. In fact, the constancy of its purposes has required the Fund to evolve, because of changes in the structure of the world economy and the IMF's own membership, and also in response to lessons we have learned about economic policy.
3. Changes in the structure of the world economy since Bretton Woods
I will mention just three:
(1) The emergence and growth of independent developing countries. Of the 44 countries at the Bretton Woods Conference, fewer than 30 were from the developing world, and only 8 were from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East combined. Today, there are 184 member countries virtually covering the globe, and 125 of them are developing countries, about 50 being in Africa.
(2) The increased international mobility of goods, capital, and labor, and greater international integration of markets—which we call "globalization." World trade growth has been roughly twice world output growth, on average, in the post-war period, after having been less than output growth in the inter-war period. And there has been a vast increase in capital flows; they have been a vital source of finance for productive investment, although they have also been a source of financial and economic instability in some circumstances, and I will talk about this later.
(3) There has been the reintegration of formerly centrally-planned economies into the world market economic system and into our institutions. Twenty-nine of our 184 member countries are counted as being "in transition" from central planning.
These changes have radically affected the work of the IMF, in ways that I'll come to in a minute. But the influence has not just been one way: the second change, in particular, can be partly attributed to the work of the Fund, in promoting an open, multilateral system of trade and payments, and policies of adjustment and reform, which have contributed to the international integration of markets, and to the prosperity of the post-war period. The economic growth experienced in the post-war period is unprecedented in recorded history, and associated with this there has been a major decline in the proportion of the world's people living in poverty. 2
4. Lessons about economic policy since Bretton Woods
The IMF's work has also evolved in response to lessons learned in the post-war period about economic policy. I will mention five:
These lessons about policy—and there have, of course, been other lessons, and we are continuing to learn—together with the changes in the world economy I mentioned earlier, help to explain how the Fund has adapted its methods and activities over the past half-century. In face of these developments, the Fund could not possibly have stood still and continued to serve its purposes effectively. There has been adaptation in each of the Fund's major lines of operation—surveillance, lending, and technical assistance.
5. IMF's role in the exchange rate system, and IMF Surveillance
Up to the early 1970s, the Fund was regulator of the "Bretton Woods" system of "fixed but adjustable" exchange rates. After the collapse of that system, during 1971-3—which was partly the result of growing capital flows—member countries became free to choose virtually any exchange rate regime—floating, or pegged, etc. And the Fund was given responsibility (in the Second Amendment of the Articles, which came into force in 1978) for exercising "firm surveillance" over the exchange rate policies of members, which was to involve surveillance over all policies impinging on exchange rates. This was based on a recognition that the key to exchange rate stability was provided by improvements in national policies that could be fostered by international cooperation, including the convergence of inflation rates at low levels, fiscal discipline, and structural policies to improve the efficient working of labor and other markets.
Surveillance is the central activity of the IMF. It applies to all member countries, year-in and year-out: every country has an obligation to subject its policies to the scrutiny of the international community represented in the Fund. IMF surveillance gives the world community a voice in policy advice to each member country, with the aims of avoiding or correcting policies damaging to the country itself or other countries, and of promoting policies that support sustainable economic growth and financial stability. Surveillance takes several forms: country surveillance (which involves usually annual formal consultations with each member, and other contacts as needed); global surveillance (including global economic projections and analysis of the policies needed to improve the outlook); and regional surveillance. It is the Executive Board, representing the entire membership of the Fund, that does the surveillance; and discussion of surveillance continues at ministerial level in the International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC), which meets usually twice a year.
In recent years, following crises in several emerging market countries, much attention has been paid to strengthening surveillance, including through more attention to exchange rates and financial sector soundness; the development of standards and codes of good practice in policy-making; and the promotion of transparency. A major objective is crisis prevention. And strong, sustainable growth has also become a recognized objective of surveillance, as I indicated earlier.
Surveillance touches on all policies that significantly affect economic performance and their international repercussions. But as we reach to areas at the margin of the IMF's mandate and expertise—which are in the macroeconomic/financial area—we rely increasingly on other institutions for assistance, particularly the World Bank. The current Managing Director, Horst Köhler, has emphasized, in particular, the need for the Fund to focus on its core responsibilities.
Finally, what has surveillance got to do with the reduction of poverty? First, financial and economic crises tend to hurt the poor disproportionately: crisis-prevention is pro-poor policy. Second, high inflation hurts the poor, since they are the least able to defend themselves against it; and the IMF promotes low inflation. It is strange that many who declare themselves to be defenders of the poor sometimes seem indifferent to inflation. But the idea that the IMF is always, in all circumstances, trying to push inflation down is a fallacy. There are many examples of the Fund recommending that countries ease their monetary conditions—prominent recent examples have been in the IMF's advice to the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan3. This advice reflects the Fund's promotion of policies that support sustainable economic growth, and this promotion of growth is a third way in which IMF surveillance helps the poor.
6. Financial assistance
The changes in the world economy to which I referred earlier explain the shift in the Fund's lending operations, away from the industrial countries. No industrial country has borrowed from the Fund since the late 1970s, partly because of the increased availability for them of balance of payments financing from the world's greatly expanded private capital markets, and partly because of the preference of industrial countries for flexible exchange rates that can take the strain when pressures arise.
Meanwhile, the IMF's financing facilities have been adapted to the needs of other member countries. The needs of developing countries and countries in transition, and the recognition that the balance of payments problems they face can be addressed only in a medium-term context and through structural as well as macroeconomic policies, led to the introduction of new facilities operating alongside the traditional 12-month stand-by arrangement requiring repayment within 3-5 years. Extended arrangements, introduced in 1974, provide financing for medium-term economic programs, generally with disbursements over 3 years, with repayments over 4½ -10 years. The SAF (Structural Adjustment Facility) and ESAF (Extended Structural Adjustment Facility), created in 1986 and 1987, respectively, provided concessional loans to low-income countries—at 0.5 percent annual interest—again to support medium-term growth-oriented adjustment programs.
These adaptations—toward medium-term financing, on concessional terms for low-income countries—have been essential to enable the Fund to do its job of helping its developing country members address their balance of payments problems without adding to their already severe debt problems. They have been essential, in effect, to make the Fund relevant to these members.
The ESAF was enlarged in 1994, and replaced in 1999 by the PRGF (Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility). You may be interested to know, in the context of all these acronyms, that at one point Michel Camdessus suggested that this new facility might be called "AGAPE", the Greek word for brotherly love, and some thought was given to what this might be an acronym for (e.g. "Accelerated Growth And Poverty Eradication Facility"). Anyway, it became "PRGF" to indicate that poverty reduction is the central objective, and that economic growth is recognized as the essential way to achieve it. The current Managing Director, Horst Köhler, has reaffirmed the importance of the IMF's continuing to play its part actively in poverty reduction, although the World Bank has the lead institutional role. Also, in 1996 the HIPC (Heavily Indebted Poor Countries) Initiative was introduced to provide debt reduction, and it was enhanced in 1999.
How has the IMF been able to provide low-interest loans to its poorest members?
These are cheaper loans than could be provided from the IMF's "general resources," which come from member countries' "quotas" or capital subscriptions. The concessional facilities have been financed in two ways. First, from capital gains that the IMF has made on its gold holdings; but there have been limits to the extent to which the IMF's membership has been willing to agree to sales of the Fund's gold, because of its importance as a reserve and a basis for the Fund's financial strength and credibility. The second source of financing that has enabled the IMF to provide concessional loans is contributions and subsidies from its member countries. Thus in the late 1980s, the ESAF Trust was created to support programs of low-income developing countries designed "to strengthen substantially and in a sustainable manner the balance of payments position and to foster growth." There have also been contributions from member countries to help finance PRGF loans.
Finally, let me say a word on program design and conditionality.
As you know, the IMF attaches conditions to its loans, not only to ensure that the IMF is repaid, so that its resources become available to be drawn by other member countries in need, but also to ensure that the borrowing country implements policies to resolve the problems that are at the root of its need for balance of payments support. The degree of conditionality attached to IMF loans to poor countries has varied.
Before the introduction of the SAF, so-called "Trust Fund loans" were subject only to limited conditionality (the establishment of balance of payments need and a commitment to efforts to correct the problem) with no performance criteria. Under the SAF, a Policy Framework Paper was drawn up for each country jointly with the World Bank. There were again no performance criteria, but there were quantified policy benchmarks. Under the ESAF, conditionality was made stronger than under the SAF, both because weak conditionality was viewed by the Fund as having been partly responsible for limited progress toward program objectives under the SAF and because the financial contributions from member countries that made cheap loans possible could not have been raised without stronger conditionality. Thus semi-annual disbursements replaced the annual disbursements of the SAF, with performance criteria on both macroeconomic and structural policies.
Under the PRGF there is more emphasis not only on poverty reduction as the central objective of policy, but also on country ownership of the policy strategy, including through broad public participation in the strategy's design. Programs supported by the PRGF are based on comprehensive policy strategies set out in Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs). PRSPs are country-owned, each being prepared by the government of the country concerned in a participatory process involving domestic civil society organizations—including the poor—and external development partners. PRSPs are considered by the Boards of the IMF and World Bank for endorsement as the basis for concessional lending and debt relief. The targets and policy conditions in PRGF-supported policy programs are drawn directly from the country's PRSP, but are focused on the Fund's core areas of responsibility and limited to measures that have a direct and critical relevance to the program's macroeconomic objectives.
Close to 80 low-income countries are eligible for PRGF assistance, and as of the end of July 2003, 39 countries' policy programs were supported by PRGF arrangements, with loans outstanding amounting to $7.3 billion and undrawn balances of $3.8 billion. About 40 countries are eligible for debt relief under the HIPC Initiative, and as of the end of July, 2003 HIPC assistance of roughly $2.5 billion had been committed to 28 countries, of which $1.5 billion had been disbursed. For the countries benefiting from the HIPC Initiative, debt service payments are being reduced by about one half in relation to GDP, exports, and government fiscal revenue. And whereas before the HIPC Initiative eligible countries were on average spending slightly more on debt service than on health and education combined, all the countries benefiting from HIPC are now spending more on social services than debt service—on average almost four times as much; and all have shown marked increases in the share of health and education in their budgets under their recent IMF-supported programs.
7. Technical assistance
The third major activity of the IMF, after surveillance and financial assistance, is technical assistance. This consists of help for countries to strengthen their policymaking capacity—both advice on institutional organization and procedures, and the training of officials—and help with the design of particular policies, including reforms. Technical assistance, including training, in areas where the IMF has expertise, is a benefit of IMF membership, provided at no charge except for countries that can afford to reimburse the IMF.
Technical assistance became a formalized function of the IMF in the mid-1960s and grew steadily through the 1980s. In the early 1990s, requests for such assistance surged when countries in central and eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union began their shift from centrally planned to market economies. In recent years, the regional distribution of IMF technical assistance has gradually shifted from the transition economies to Africa, which now receives more than a quarter of the total. This is part of the increased efforts of the international community to reduce poverty in low-income countries, including by helping countries improve governance through capacity building.
8. The Millennium Development Goals and Monterrey Consensus
The IMF's instruments of surveillance, financial assistance, and technical assistance are thus being applied today in all of the Fund's low-income member countries to the objective of poverty reduction. This objective has been made more specific by the Millennium Development Goals set out in the UN Millennium Declaration of September 2000. These goals, which grew out of agreements and resolutions of world conferences organized by the UN in the past decade, have been widely accepted as a framework for measuring development progress. They aim, in particular, to achieve a halving of world poverty by 2015, relative to 1990.
The goals were reaffirmed at the UN Conference on Financing for Development held in Monterrey, Mexico, in March 2002, where a "two-pillar" strategy for achieving the goals was endorsed by the international community. The first essential pillar recognized by the "Monterrey Consensus" is the responsibility and determination of low-income countries themselves to pursue sound policies and good governance. The second essential pillar is stronger international support for low income countries' efforts. The Managing Director of the IMF has emphasized that "The Monterrey Consensus is our framework for the development partnership"4 and that the IMF is determined to play its full part in helping low-income countries establish and strengthen the first pillar, as well as in contributing to the second pillar, international support. But the Managing Director has also emphasized that the advanced economies must do more, especially in living up to their pledges to meet the long-standing target for aid of 0.7 percent of donor countries' GNP, and in improving market access for developing countries' exports and reducing trade-distorting subsidies, particularly for the agricultural sectors of advanced economies.
To conclude, there is no question that today, work aimed at the goal of poverty reduction in the low-income countries is one of the IMF's main preoccupations. But the IMF's role more broadly—in guarding macroeconomic and financial stability, working to prevent financial crisis, seeking ways of resolving more effectively the crises that do occur, and promoting durable and equitable growth in the world economy—is also, more than incidentally, pro-poor. No doubt the work of the IMF will evolve further in the years ahead as the needs of our member countries continue to develop and the Fund continues to learn new lessons of experience. But for the foreseeable future, at least, it seems clear that the international community will continue to call on the IMF to do what it can for the poor, within its mandate.

2 For example, the proportion of the world's population living on less than $1 a day (at 1993 prices) is estimated to have dropped from 55 percent in 1950 to 24 percent in 1992. (F. Bourguignon and C. Morrison, "Inequality Among World Citizens, 1820-1992.", American Economic Review, Sept. 2002). The proportion has declined further in the past decade.

Excitement in Uncertainty
Compared to the great starts by Michigan and Ohio State, it seemed to take forever for Penn State to land its first commitment of the 2013 class. And boy was it worth the wait. Within a week of Christian Hackenberg's commitment, Ross Douglas and Garrett Sickels gave the Nittany Lions their pledges as well.
That's three 4-star players. Two from states PSU has had trouble pulling top talent from lately. All three with major upside.
Based on the previous regime, it's fair to wonder if Dick Anderson knew where New Jersey was. Or if Jay Paterno had been to as many Ohio high schools as he had golf courses.
By the end of this week, Penn State likely will have its fourth, and biggest commit of the early recruiting season. When Adam Breneman dons a PSU cap, it will mark the first time since the 2006 class that the Nittany Lions secured the top rated prospect in Pennsylvania. Wow. It boggles the mind.
All of this recruiting momentum is great, but are we smiling too early?
Heck, no.
This is one of the most exciting times in my Penn State memory.
It's not the 1987 Fiesta Bowl. It's not the 1994 season. It's not the 2005 resurgence. But it's a comfortable #4, and for one major reason: uncertainty.
The last time I honestly thought "Oh my gosh, we could be national champs" was when Derrick Williams beat AJ Hawk to the corner to put Penn State up 7-3. It was a sensational burst that teased his unlimited potential.
But since then? Not much. Innovations were short-lived. Imaginative gameplans never surfaced in "report card" games. Most whiteouts ended in defeat.
There were so many frustrating aspects of Penn State football towards the end of Joe Paterno's career, not the least of which was the seeming lack of an end to Joe Paterno's career. Following Penn State football was like riding a merry-go-round. There were ups and downs, some interesting animals to ride, some duds. But the music never changed and the ride never ended. Meanwhile, all the fans of other teams were free to explore the college football amusement park and experience new and exciting things.
Now we have been unleashed into the 21st century of college football. Assistant coaches might be hired away by other teams or fired by us. Either way, there will be accountability. Different standards might be applied to recruiting which could lead to a different attitude on the field. No matter what, it will be more emotional than the sterile units the previous regime churned out. Bill O'Brien could be the next big thing. Or he could flame out. Still, it will be very interesting to see what happens because NO ONE KNOWS the outcome.
And that is what's so exciting about Penn State football as it stands right now. Uncertainty.
Is Christian Hackenberg going to be a star quarterback or a flop? Is he going to have to wait patiently or be given the keys as an underclassman? Is he going to be presented with a playbook that allows him to excel or be hampered by a limited assortment of conservative calls?
For once, we don't know. And isn't that exciting?

The Fringe: The Response
The Response
The Fringe
Live In Israel (Soul Note 121305)
George Garzone (tenor sax),
John Lockwood (bass), Bob Gullotti (drums).
Composed by The Fringe.
Recorded: Eilat, Israel, August 30, 1995
Rating: 97/100 (learn more)
When asked once how it felt to be the world's greatest jazz saxophonist, the late Michael Brecker said, "I wouldn't know. Go ask George Garzone." An educator at Berklee by day, Garzone is surprisingly unknown to even some serious jazz fanatics. One listen to this track and you'll never forget his name. His trio, The Fringe, has been performing for 36—yes, 36—years. Garzone and drummer Gullotti have been members since the group's conception, and Lockwood replaced original bassist Richard Appleman in 1985. "The Response" is solidly based in bop, though harmony and rhythm are loosely defined. The conversational interaction between Garzone and Gullotti may be the finest example of telepathy from a saxophone/drum duo since Coltrane and Jones.
Garzone perfectly balances and complements the "in"—linear, melodic phrases—with the "out"—bursts of controlled explosiveness (masterfully exemplified in his passage from 1:46 through 2:21). Although obsessively passionate, Garzone's playing is never self-absorbed or overblown by his own enthusiasm. Unlike most free tenormen, he does not resort to abrasive screaming or squawking, instead effortlessly using the entire range of his horn from honking lows to beautifully controlled falsetto. Praise for Garzone is limitless, and though the phrase is tossed around all too often, he truly is one of the seriously under- appreciated jazz masters of his time.

Fans of "Celebrity Apprentice" have been waiting for a cast announcement for what seems like forever. Rumors of the cast have been circulating around social media and Kate Gosselin is one name that just wouldn't die down. Several new shows are planning to come to NBC this fall, but will "Celebrity Apprentice" be one of them? According to a July 13 report from E! Online, there are no plans regarding when the newest season of "Celebrity Apprentice" will air. The entire season has been filmed but NBC isn't in a rush to put it out yet. Is this the end?
"Celebrity Apprentice" follows a cast of famous names and faces as they compete to win the cash prize which will be donated to their charity by Donald Trump. Several of the tasks include raising money, using your fame to bring people to the cause, and more odd jobs. Each week two contestants are fired from the show, one from each team. Many of the celebrities are trying to regain popularity or promote something new coming out when they join the cast.
Kate Gosselin is one of the most controversial reality television stars today. She is hated by many for allegedly using her children to gain fame. There are some fans who like Gosselin and support her, but far more negativity is said about her. Rumors were floating around that she was cast on "Celebrity Apprentice" but was fired before she was able to win. Others rumored to have participate alongside Gosselin were Kenya Moore from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" and Leeza Gibbons.
Speculation is that "Celebrity Apprentice" may be canceled after the pre-taped season airs. It was assumed that the new season would begin airing in July, but now that the month is nearly half over, there is no telling when NBC will air it. Fans are anxiously awaiting this installment of the show, even if it is the last.

There are 13 million single parents in the United States with over 21 million children in single parent households.
Whether you are a single mother by chance or by choice, we are here to help you meet the challenges of parenting, — and all of the other issues impacting your life.
Help for Single Mothers – Knowledge is Power
As a single mother, we know the right information can turn the light on in your world and take you from surviving to thriving. We cover all the issues and pack every article and page with wisdom, resources, ideas, and real solutions to whatever life is currently bringing your way.
We're each at a different point in our life, and our site is created to reflect the wide range of interests and needs of today's single mom. While one parent may be searching for an education grant another mom is looking for advice for her special needs child. We cover it all.
Here are a few of the topics you'll find useful:
- Scholarships and Grants for Single Moms – Many single mothers have given up on their hopes of a solid education. We know that a college degree or trade school certification can greatly improve the quality of life for your single parent household and we are dedicated to providing you with the right information.
You'll find that we have the latest scholarships and grants, complete with links and instructions. But we don't stop there. We also take a candid and critical look at different careers you may be interested in, outlining the earning potential and providing you with the education requirements for each.
We don't want to see you heading down a dead end path, so we lay out clear information for each career we cover. Want to see a career outlined that we don't have in our database? Simply drop us an email and we'll give you the details!
- Financial Help and Programs for Single Mothers – Once in a while everyone needs a little assistance. As a single mom, where do you turn? There are more resources and financial help than you may be aware of, and we make it our mission to provide them to you. Whether it's help with formula and diapers or finding money for your first start-up business, we are your source!
SingleMommie.com also offers our own Hope Grant, recently launched to provide $500 worth of assistance to reach single mothers at the point of their greatest need. The funds can be used to help with food, utility bills, tuition, rent, or the cost of daycare.
- Affordable Housing for Single Mothers – Are you dealing with an income that's too high for assistance, yet too low to enjoy the quality of life you and your child deserve? We provide you with solid tips and inside information on finding affordable housing, even without government programs or section 8 assistance.
- Loans for Single Mothers – Whether you are looking to start up a new business venture or purchase your first home, you need to know the basics of applying for loans, what to look for and what to avoid. We also teach you how to handle your bills, access your credit report, and plan out a realistic budget.
- Single Parent Dating – Feeling apprehensive about the single mom dating scene? Now that you have the responsibility of a child, the rules of dating have changed. That doesn't mean you have to be a hermit. So, where do you find balance? We've asked our experts and have plenty of single parent dating advice for you.
- Child support & child custody – These are often touchy subjects. Child support and child custody issues can lead to bitterness, resentment, and brutal battles that can end up harming your child emotionally if they are dragged into the details. We take a healthy approach to child support and custody by providing resources but always suggesting that parents take the mentally and emotionally healthy road. Sometimes the answers aren't easy, but that doesn't mean you have to lose your peace.
- Raising healthy and happy children in a single parent household – Without another parent to bounce ideas off of, you may wonder if you're doing things right. There are so many decisions to make and so many questions. We regularly provide you with insightful tips, research statistics, and advice from professionals on a variety of topics that affect you and your child.
As you can see, our only mission here is to support both you and your child (or children) and help each of you reach your full potential as individuals and as a family.
Reliable Information for Single Moms
If you've spent any time at all searching for information or resources for single moms, you've most likely run into more than a few roadblocks. Some of the information found online, such as grants for single parents, can be confusing at best. Much of the information just leads to a dead end.
This can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you are desperately in need of assistance and don't have time to deal with false information. We promise you won't run into this problem when visiting our site! We pride ourselves on providing up to date, credible information, advice and resources. We know your time is valuable and reliable information is vital!
Again, we warmly welcome you, and if there's anything we can add or a topic you would like us to cover, please leave a comment and let us know. Your success as a single parent is our number one priority! We want you to thrive!

Scholarship Opportunities to Help Pay Tuition Costs
As a single mother, you've got more on your plate (and on your mind) than most. Dividing your time between caring for your children, yourself, the household, and any mishaps of the day can leave you without a spare moment to research the possibility of furthering your education.
Financial Assistance Programs
As a single parent, it's difficult to make ends meet sometimes. You may only be pulling in a half of what parents raising children together make from employment. This can make single parenting extremely difficult, which is taxing not only on you, but also your children.

The first NHL game on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will come packed with six different modes of play, but ironically not as many as its older console versions.
"NHL 15" on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will come with six different modes available upon its release, Electronic Arts confirmed on Tuesday on the game's official website.
The modes available will be "Hockey Ultimate Team," "Be a Pro," "Be a General Manager," "Online Versus Play," "NHL Moments Live" and "Practice Mode."
Introduced in "NHL 13," "NHL Moments Live" returns again in "NHL 15." The mode, according to EA Sports, allows you to "relive, recreate or alter some of the most exciting moments from the current and past NHL season," including Daniel Alfredsson's first game against the Senators in Ottawa or Ben Scrivens' insane 59-save game against the San Jose Sharks last year. Gamers will even be able to alter the outcome of the Stanley Cup Playoffs in the mode, which EA said will be updated throughout the 2014-15 season.
However, not on the list of playable modes is the "Live the Life" mode, the "NHL 94 Anniversary Mode" and "GM Connected" mode, all which will be a part of the game on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of "NHL 15."
According to an article on O Canada, more features, Online Team Play being one of them, will be on the way after the game's release.
"OTP will be rolled out as part of our NHL 15 content update program," NHL series' producer, Sean Ramjagsingh wrote on the game's official blog. "We're close to having it done, but our priority is to deliver a quality experience that's stable for you, the players, and we still have some testing work to do. We'll have more information for you on the schedule closer to launch."
"NHL 15" is currently scheduled to skate its way on to the Xbox 360, PlayStation3, Xbox One and PlayStation4 video game consoles on Sept 9.

College Hockey:'Lacrosse Goal' Up for Awards
The "lacrosse" goal by University of Michigan center Mike Legg is under consideration for two major awards this year: Canada's sporting network TSN's "Play of the Year," and an ESPY awards from the American equivalent, ESPN, the University of Michigan announced this week.
Legg's goal, which came in a quarterfinal game of the 1996 NCAA Tournament against Minnesota, featured a swinging move to flip the puck onto the blade of the stick, which Legg then threw, lacrosse style, into the goal over the shoulder of Gopher netminder Steve DeBus. The goal tied the game at two, and the Wolverines went on to win the game 4-3, and eventually the national championship.
TSN is featuring five plays for the "Play of the Year", and Legg's goal is the only college hockey play. Voting for the play over the internet can be done at http://www.tsn.ca/ under the "interactive" section. Voting ends Monday, December 16.
In January, Legg's goal will be considered by ESPN for an ESPY award for "Outrageous Play of the Year". Voting details will be announced later.

(1A.M Membrane House hold)
A young Dib Membrane around 7 years old is laying in his bed staring at the ceiling silent filled his room. He closed his eyes tightly and gripped his wrist with his other hand feeling a sharp pain in his hands and arms, actually it felt more like his whole body was crawling as if something was inside of him digging, clawing, to find a way out. The young boy bit his lip as he barely opened one eye to the corner of the room. He slowly, feeling the pain getting worse as he did, opened his hand out a black ness came from no where from his palm and shout out into the shadows. The creatures from the shadows formed from the darkness and looked at Dib grinning. Dib glared at them rather than showing fear. The creatures seemed perplex. Dib let out a small 'tch' than laid back on his bed. The shadows crawled onto the ceiling looking down a
